"Oh, not one of ours."

'Wow, the kid really just got rejected.'

"He's my cousin's kid. Come on, Kota. Greet everyone. You'll be with them for the next week."

'From the look on his face, I don't think he wants to greet anyone.'

Midoriya obviously doesn't notice this like Ekio does and walks right up to the boy.

"Oh, um, I'm Midoriya from U.A.High School's hero course. Nice to meet you." He leans over and holds out his hand for Kota to shake.

Ekio watches, in slow motion as Kota steps back and just punches Midoriya straight in the balls. The boy goes completely white and just holds onto his crotch for dear life as Kota steps away from him.

"Midoriya!" Iida appears in front of his friends just in time to catch him as he falls forward. "You brute of a nephew! Why would you do that to Midoriya's scrotum?!"

Kota stops in front of a crackling Ekio and turns back to the teens, "I don't intend to hang out with guys who want to become heroes!"

Ekio is down. She is down on the floor, trying to breathe.

Bakugo smiles as he watches the small kid, "Precocious brat."

Shoto looks towards him, "Isn't he kind of like you?"

Bakugo turns into a full-on angry ball of spikes within a mere second. "What? Not at all! Anyway, shut up, you GG bastard!"

Shoto watches Bakugo get closer to home with a completely neutral expression.

"Sorry."

"Huh? Kio?!" Kirishima notices the girl first, looking at her with wide eyes.

The girl is still trying to breathe.

h.e.t.e.r.o.c.h.r.o.m.a.t.i.c.

Everyone stuffs their face as soon as they sit down at the table. Starving from the recent activity. Ekio just watches everyone, she isn't that hungry because she ate a lot when she made it to the facility.

"Do you think they will survive?" Aizawa asks her, watching them all shovel rice into their mouths at extraordinary speeds.

"I'm sure some of them will." Ekio watches Kirishima start yelling something at one of the Pussycats.

"You can go ahead early," Aizawa mumbles, "There are hot springs out the back, these guys will be joining you later."

Ekio nods thankfully to her teacher and heads out of the room, not having anything else to do apart from watch her classmates eat. As she walks down the hall, she notices Kota moving in the same direction as her.

"Hot springs?" She asks, looking briefly at the boy.

He stares at her for a moment, the usual mean look on his face. "I have to make sure there is no funny business."

Ekio smiles gently at the boy, "ah, so you are going to keep us girls safe huh?"

Kota blushes slightly and nods before looking away and going in a different direction to the girl. Ekio shrugs and grabs her bag before heading down, making sure to head into the girl's side.

She checks around for anyone quickly before grabbing the biggest towel from the rack and running off before someone tries to size her into a smaller one. She strips down, placing all her clothes in her bag and wrapping the towel around herself.

She enters the hot spring and is suddenly very grateful that she is the only one here at the moment. Stripping down in front of a bunch of other girls is not really on Ekio's bucket list. She slips into the water, slowly pulling the towel up as she does so she doesn't get it wet.
