Maki ran and ran, the heels of her sneakers hitting the ground in a satisfying manner. Working for the Number two hero wasn't as satisfying however. Maki received a call an hour ago, at the brink of dawn. Her furious boss telling her to arrive to work, within the next hour.

To remind you, Maki had just woken up. And being the non-morning person she was, she reluctantly got up and got ready.

Feeling beads of sweat on her forehead, she couldn't help but wipe it off as she continued running, passing by hundreds of people in the ocean of them.

The thing is, she was already two minutes late.

Maki ran into the building, panting as she put her hands on her knees, crouching down.

"Kimura! You're late!" The flaming hero scolded her, his flames sending heat all around the agency in fury.

Maki panted and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She looked up at Endeavor to see that his flames were way bigger than normal.

"Well, you told me that I would be coming in today, an hour ago! I woke up, an hour ago! How the fuck do you expect me to get ready, take the train for a solid twenty minutes and walk for 15-20 minutes to this agency in an hour?!" She asked him boldly, straightening her back as she stood tall against him.

Maki was born and raised, partly...in Fukuoka. Her whole life revolved around Fukuoka. However, upon receiving the request to work in Musutafu, at Endeavors agency, she couldn't decline it. She needed the money more than ever.

And having known Endeavor since being little, at the time, it felt like a perk.

"Nevertheless, heroes need to be on time!" He scolded her. Maki never liked the guy, his children however, was a different story.

"Right." She muttered and glared at him.

"What am I even here for?" She finally asked him and put her hands on her hips. "Paperwork. I have to go on patrol and meetings today. So I need you to do my paperwork for me." He explained, making her look at him in disbelief.

"So you're telling me you woke me up, and told me to come here, to do YOUR fucking paperwork? Why not ask your damn assistant looking whore right there?!" Maki almost shouted at him and pointed to the poorly dressed assistant that talked to the male receptionist, her breast almost hanging out of their bra.

She was wearing a short skirt, a pair of heels and her button up white shirt that was practically buttoned down.

Endeavors flames grew taller as he inhaled deeply. "Because, she is coming with me to the meetings." He said, trying to sound calm. Endeavor wasn't one who remained calm, but seeing as he couldn't afford to lose Maki, he kind of needed to do so.

"Pfft, worthless." She mumbled quietly as she started walking towards what was Endeavors office.

Maki wouldn't let some wannabe hero tell her what to do. Even so, she needed him almost as much as he needed her. Maki wasn't a fan of Endeavor, he was a fraud in her eyes. He was consumed by the fame, the money, and the status. She believed that the ranking of the heroes was what consumed most heroes to reach.

It was never about saving citizens, or doing genuine hero work. They only did it for the status, was what she told herself. If it wasn't for All Might not allowing side kicks of any sort, she wouldn't be with Endeavor.
