My Avenging Heroes

Unglamorous Work

Todoroki and Yaoyorozu were on top of a ski slope at the end of a ski lift. 1-A had different tasks to complete for when the paying guests would come, and everyone had changed into the tacky merchandise. Todoroki and Yaoyorozu had decided to make sure the ski lifts were all well taken care of. This mostly consisted of making sure the lifts looked nice and were well attached.

"This seems like an ill use of our skills," Yaoyorozu said, "why couldn't we be fighting Ultron right now?"

"Well," Todoroki said, burning away cobwebs on a lift, "we don't even know where he is. Also, we need to rest after what we've been through. Almost half of us were beaten by the Hulk. We need to recover."

"I know, Shoto," she sprayed golden paint onto it, "it's just... chores?"

"I don't agree with it that much either, Momo. But idle hands do no good."

They sent it away after she had finished painting.

Ashido was with Kirishima on one of the ski slopes. They were making sure there were no big obstacles in the way that would seriously injure a skier. They already got done with a lesser slope and were now doing an intermediary slope.

"Why did Stark have to choose a resort with rocks all over the slopes?" Ashido asked, pouring some of her acid on another half buried rock, melting it.

"I don't know," Kirishima said, chopping up a thick log and placing the split wood into a large wheelbarrow, "we're talking about the same guy who's a genius, but according to Todoroki and Yaoyorozu, gave a terrorist his home address like an idiot."

"Even Kaminari and I aren't stupid enough to do that."

They continued on, chopping wood and melting big rocks. Once they reached the bottom, Kirishima dropped all of the wood by the main lodge.

Inside the lodge, Kaminari and Jiro were tasked with tuning the instruments that were on stage. They had only just started tuning the instruments they were most familiar with: the bass and electric guitar. Even though Kaminari wasn't musically inclined, he could tell the guitar was horribly out of tune. He adjusted it to where it was decent, but he knew he would need a more skilled ear. Jiro was just finishing with the bass.

"Hey, Kyoka," Kaminari said, "I'm wondering if this is tuned fine."

He played a chord, and Jiro made tiny adjustments to the tuning knobs.

"That should be fine," she said, "give it a go, Denki."

He strummed, and they both were pleased. They then went to the piano. Only one key was pressed, and they both winced.

"Well," Kaminari said, "that sounded unpleasant."

They set to work retuning the piano.

Midoriya and Uraraka had exited their cabin and went to the lounge's snack bar. There, they saw Ojiro and Hagakure going through stuff that was packaged there.

"Ah," Ojiro said, "so you're hungry, I guess?"

"A little," Uraraka said, "is there any good food?"

"Half the stuff expired last month," Hagakure said, "but there's still some chips that should be fine."

"Well, it's not much," Midoriya said, "I guess. But we could use it."
