Elemental

Chapter 36

It was early in the morning, around 4:30 when I woke up for some strange reason. I sighed and sat up in bed.

I guess I can't shake my routine. I groaned and stood up, stretching and popping a few joints before I changed and headed out the building. I decided to just take a walk around for a while, maybe watch the sunrise on the roof like I used to.

"Hey there!" A voice exclaimed.

"AH WHAT THE SHIT-" I exclaimed. I looked down at sighed. "Mirio you shit head."

"Hey, ____!" He said with a smile. "I'm glad I caught you."

"Glad you scared the fuck outta me?"

"Yep!" He said with a chuckle. "Anyways, I do my work study with Sir Nighteye. I told him I met you today, and he seemed to know you."

"Oh, him," I said with a sigh. "Yeah, I know him. Why?"

"He kinda had the same reaction!" Mirio chuckled. "Well, I was just thinking that it would be fun for you to work with us. You should stop by the agency! Nighteye said you know what you need to do in order to work with us, whatever that means."

I groaned. "He's just a jerk. I worked with Endeavor last time, so I don't think I want to switch."

"Don't be like that! My gut says we'll work great together!"

"Can you even feel your gut when you use your quirk?"

"Uh," he paused. "No, BUT I know we'll do great! I think Nighteye really wants to see you. He had this look in his eye. Just think about it, okay?"

I sighed. "Yeah, I know the look you mean. I'll think about it."

"Awesome! Well, bye."

"____. My father was wondering if you'll be working with us again," Shoto said.

"Nah," I said with a shrug. "I'm thinking of going somewhere else. Temporarily of course, I know Endeavor will miss me," I said with a chuckle.

"Yeah," he said. "Probably. I was looking forward to work with you again, but next time, right?"

"Hell yeah! You have my word, next work study, you're stuck with me."

"I look forward to it," he said with a small smile.

I smiled at him. "Yeah, I'm gonna kick ass at my next work study! I gotta prove something to someone."

"Prove something?"

"Yeah. Just something from the past." I smiled and flames danced around my right hand, then I made a fist and put it out and grinned. "Don't worry. It's a good thing."

'Oh, good. For some reason, whenever you bring up your past, I assume it's bad."

"Well, most of it was pretty shit," I shrugged. "I can't blame you."

"I feel that."

I chuckled. "Yeah."

I sighed and walked into Nighteye's office.

"You didn't knock- oh, it's you."

"Hell yeah it's me."

"You haven't changed at all," Nighteye said.

"Neither have you. I see that stick is still up your ass."

He shook his head. "Gross. Why are you here, _____?"

"For my work study," I said with a shrug. For a moment, I swore I saw an evil glint in his eye.
