Izuku and the girls all ran towards the ferry at high speeds. They had decided to have a fun time in the western district of Metropolis, but they had forgotten about the time. Now they were on a race to catch up to the last ferry to get back to the city.

"Quick friends, the last ship is about to leave," Diana said as they all ran after the ship.

"Yeah, you don't need to tell us twice, Diana. No way am I missing my concert," Kara replied running next to her.

"At least you don't have a curfew," Barbara said

"I have to make it to the rally before they begin," Jess said

"There!" pointed Izuku at the ferry as it prepared to set sail.

The ferry was slowly leaving the port, with the loading bay already closing.

The team of heroes rushed even faster, should they be forced to take the long way back.

"Run faster, we're almost there," said Zee.

Sadly, however, not all the team was running as fast as they hoped. Karen, given her shorter stature, was far behind the rest of the group. She moved as fast as her legs could take her and yet she was barely able to catch up.

"Please, wait up guys!" called Karen, completely out of breath. "I should really do more cardio."

Izuku turned his head back and noticed Karen's position. He activated a bit of One For All and rushed back to give her a boost. In the blink of an eye, Izuku and Karen were now at the front of the group.

"Thanks, Izuku," Karen said between gasps of air.

"No problem," Izuku replied.

"No time for congratulations, we must board this ship now," Diana said as they finally caught up with the ferry.

"Jump!" Kara said and one by one the Titans did, well most of them did.

"Karen, you have to jump!" Izuku said.

"You can make it," Barbara added

"We believe in you," Diana said.

Karen kept running after the ferry. She constantly thought to herself that she could do the jump. She had been in more dangerous situations than this. A simple jump was nothing.

But in the back of her mind, her insecurity made her doubt.

What if she missed? What if she fell down into the cold messy waters of the pier? What if she accidentally revealed her secret identity and her friends were discovered because of her?

All these thoughts eventually began to weight Karen down. Her breathing became more ragged and short. She eventually stopped as the ferry left the port. Karen let out a tiered breath as she could only see the ferry and her friends leave her behind.

"It's okay, I'll take the long way back," Karen said as she looked towards the bridge.

Izuku turned to his friends and Diana gave him a nod. He activated One For All and made a jump back to the ferry port. Izuku saw that Karen was feeling rather down and decided to accompany her back. With a heavy thud, he landed next to Karen, slightly startling her.

"Izuku, what are you doing here?" Karen asked as Izuku helped her to her feet.

"I thought you might need company. It is a long walk," He replied with a smile.

"Thanks, but you didn't have to," Karen said, avoiding seeing her blush.

"Don't worry about it," Izuku replied as they began walking towards the bridge.
