What? "A... date?" Todoroki just nodded, his eyes fixed on me. "I... umm... that is... why?" I didn't know what else to say in all honesty. Given everything that he knew about me, why would he want to take me out on a date... or ask me at all. "Why would you ask me after everything I've done... and swarn to do? I am no hero, I don't pretend to be one. I'm just here to get revenge."

He glanced down for a second, a clenched hand before holding it out to me. "Because it's you. You might think now that what you're doing is only for yourself, but I don't think it is. That's just what you keep telling yourself so that you don't feel like you're betraying your own savior's ideals."

I glanced to the side, everyone seemed pretty peaceful, talking amongst themselves. "Okay... sure. I suppose I can indulge you this time." With a smile I ran off to speak with some of the other students, maybe I'd even go visit Eri later.

Endeavor was the talk of the class for a while. Even when class started the next day everyone was still talking about him. I felt bad I couldn't fix all the damage... but Rewind is a hard quirk to control and while I can keep it from getting out of control now... I still don't feel comfortable using it because of what it did to my family, and I would like to avoid that happening again. That said... There was still one person in the class that I was keeping an eye on.

Even with All for One in Tartarus... he couldn't be trusted. Todoroki was also out when classes started, he was going to visit his father in the hospital. Midorya and Speedy-glasses went to check on him. I just smiled and waved. He could tell me later during our lunch break what was happening with that. When Aizawa opened the door he was ready to beraid us for not being seated.

Unfortunately for him everyone was already ready. "All right." I watched him walk to the front of the class before addressing us. "You need to stop playing around and be more aware of who you are. Even though you only have Provisional licenses, don't forget that you have been given the Certification and Responsibility to act as heroes in an official capacity. That said (Y/n) please notify me before you leave and go back a few minutes before leaving. We need to keep track of where you're at." I nodded, that was fair. "There are still two of you in supplemental classes, though..." Todoroki and Bakugou... right. "From now on, we'll be kicking class up a notch, so be prepared. Now, for today's homeroom--"

Sirens and a notice came on the blackboard. "Emergency drill, emergency drill: Hypothetical villains have infiltrated U.A. High School grounds. Hero course Class 1-A is requested to report." .... Ah, that would make sense. "Please change into your hero costumes and head to the scene as soon as possible." Nuzu... you smart little rodent thing.

I was obviously the first into my costume and out the door. The drill was to be done in Ground Beta. "Right now, that's the only information that has been confirmed. Even if it is a drill, we will carry out this mission with everything we've got!" Go class rep.

"First, we should try to understand the situation. Reconnaissance squad, if you will." I nodded, this was part of where my Quirk came in handy. I could quickly assess every part of the situation and report back. Granted it was good to have others on the job as well. Better for me that way, I don't spend too much time, with time frozen. Given the direction by the other three, I nodded before making my way in a Northeaster direction following the signs of smoke.

Using the radio I had been given time resumed. "A building by the river collapsed due to fire. I have yet to see any villains in the area." Getting a roger from Speedy-glasses, I got my next set of instructions. There was also someone being swept away in the river but I was unable to handle that one. Still can't swim... but I can keep on reconnaissance. "Making my way into the building to search for survivors or villains." Pulling up my mask, I dove through one of the broken windows.
