Point Zero MHA OC AU

The Results

Nena flipped the tables onto the table as Nejire cleaned the floors with a wide mop. The sun had just set and it had been about a week and a half since the entrance exams. Andy had messaged them saying he has the results and havent opened it yet. 

Andy opened the back door and slowly crept in waiting for both of them to respond with excitement. Nejire heard the door and immediately peeked around the corner to look at who had entered.

"Nena, Andy is here" she shouted out and moved the broom to the wall. Both of them had made a full halt to their day suddenly for Andy. 

"Hey," He moved to the front of the cafe "Sorry I missed closing today"

"No, no, no, it's fine. I'm excited to see the results." Nena speed walked into the break room and Nejire quickly filed in with a smile that leaped from ear to ear.

"Ok. Uhm- I kind of. Eh. I kind of did bad" Andy nervously pulled a chair out for him to sit in. It felt after he sat down he would be glued down to the chair. Having to endure the bad news from the school and his best friends having to listen to it.

"I still don't doubt you got in! I'm sure you did fine" She excitedly cleared the table of paper work and everything expecting a piece of paper to be read.

"No.... i mean my gear broke mid fight. It tore itself apart" He held the envelope tightly in his hand causing the paper to wrinkle. He looked down at it, terrified of the contents inside.

"Just open it dummy" Nejire's eyes widen in anticipation as Andy nods and opens it carefully. He looks inside and pulls out a small flattish cylinder. He gives it a confused look before a voice speaks out.

"HELLO YOUNG ANDROMEDA!" 

"AHHH!" Andy screeched at the random voice and hologram. He jumped back but held onto the disc tightly so as to not drop it. His chair leaned back with his jump as he carefully pulled himself back with his spare hand. His hand was raised in the air with the All Might hologram above. He carefully set it on the table and fixed his chair to the table.

"Young Andromeda we were thoroughly impressed on how well you did on the hero course exam especially without a quirk. Your use of support gear and endurance after it had broken is also quite impressive. Sadly you have failed to get enough points in the hero course exam but your amazing creativity and understanding of robotics has lent you a spot in the support courses. Your well built fire and water gauntlets are compact, durable, and well designed. Even the gear made for the vigilante Point Zero are well enough to turn a quirkless kid into an escape artist and fighter of the city." Andy paused at the last words All Might had said in the message. Nejire had no idea of his affiliation with the vigilante and he knew it would lead to an interrogation of the lifetime.

Neji's face contorted and thought for a second before smiling at Andy. Her eyes practically glowed with new questions but she waited for the message to end. 

"You know Point Zero?" His face lit up as Andy tried to process how to answer that question.

"So that's the gear I saw , right? What's it like being so close to a vigilante like that? Do you fear that the heroes are going to make you say who Zero is? What does he look like? Is he quirkless too like All Might said? Wait is All Might a teacher now or did they hire him to say this?"

Andy sputters out a mixture of utter nonsense and random words as he tries to think of something to say. "I kinda- make Zero's gear and stuff."

Nejire ended up asking Andy every question under the sun she could think of. It amazes him how many questions he never thought of. All he wanted to do right now was be alone. He felt ashamed he didn't get into the hero course. He had failed himself. He had failed Nena. 

He had failed all quirkless kids with dreams

"I mean. It could have been worse. You could have exploded or something so how bad could it have been? You still got in, so maybe you can still get in the gero course. Just need to prove yourself somehow" Zero paced around the roof of the building comforting himself. His muttered words almost echoed inside of his hand as he comforted himself with his pockets.

"What are you doing up here at this time? Aren't vigilantes supposed to be hidden in the night?" The voice of Midnight teasing him rang in his ears.

"I'm a ballsy vigilante I guess."

"Are you stressing about the exam? You did good! I mean, your blaster breaking wasn't ideal but you still got into the U.A. " She sat on the edge of the building staring at the pacing kid.

"My goal wasn't support, it was hero courses. I can't just sit around and build robots all day. Its mind numbing." He stopped to look at the hero.

"Why do you want to be a hero?" She took out her water bottle and took a sip of it and turned to look down into the alley nearby to check for anything suspicious below.

"Its stupid."

"Stupid isnt something you really do. I highly doubt that"

Andy sighs out "I want to be a hero so quirkless kids can have a dream too and have someone to look forward to"

"That's a noble reason. I love it." 

"But I failed to get into the hero courses. So I doubt i'll be getting in without exposing myself completely as a vigilante"

"You realize almost every teacher knows who you are. I swear they're just pretending to not know." She chuckles a bit.

"The police have been getting closer to my real identity too. The teachers i'm not worried about but the police, they've been looking into quirkless kids recently around my age." Andy looked at the clock on his wrist in confusion as he taps it.

"I highly doubt they'll arrest you. I mean to stop you from getting hurt they'll take your stuff away. But you're too much help in saving people around here. It's crazy how fast you are in those boots. In fact can you make me a pair in the support classes?"

"Uhm. Sure.... hey what time is it?"

"It's around 13... why?"

"Shit! I have to go! I need to go to work. See ya Midnight! Good luck catching me next time!" He teased, jumped off the building leaving the hero alone.
