"I'm a real piece of shit aren't I?" Y/n squinted at the mirror, recalling her breakdown from the day before. 'Hey, at least I know I'm a piece of shit. That kinda makes me better than all of the other pieces of shit who don't really know that they're pieces of shit, or refuse to admit that they're pieces of shit.' She thought, slipping into her hero suit and strapping her belt on. Y/n shook her head and walked to the kitchen of her Way too big and lavish for a single person-apartment. 'Or is it worse?' She asked herself after opening the pantry, then sighed.

'No. Breakfast. Right. Gosh, I don't even feel like eating.' Y/n's face scrunched up. She snatched a bottle, a bag of crackers and slammed the pantry door shut. 'No time to feel sorry for myself now. It's 6 in the morning.' Y/n slumped down on her living room couch and poured herself a glass of wine and shoved the salty cracker in her mouth, forcing herself to munch on it. 'I can't believe I'm having crackers and wine for breakfast. This isn't fuckin' breakfast.' She bitterly grumbled to herself while taking a sip of her wine.

Her head fell back onto the backrest of the couch and she shimmied over her daggers from her belt. She balanced it on her chest with a bored look on her face. She took another sip and pressed the dagger down. Nothing happened of course. She stopped before the dagger would get its tip bent and shoved it back in her belt. "Duty calls!" She said to no one in particular. God, it was lonely in this house. Y/n put the crackers and wine back and grabbed her briefcase before leaving the apartment. She slumped her back against the elevator wall and huffed.

'Maybe I should get a pet to fight loneliness...' She debated with herself for a while then shook her head when the elevator door opened. 'Nah. I can't even take care of myself let alone a pet..' She scoffed, leaving the building. "Should've thought about that before I took a teaching job.." Y/n sighed, aiming her hooks at a light pole before shooting into the air. She swung around with a bored look on her face, ignoring all the people gasping and pointing her out.

"Good morning Y/n!" She heard someone chime from her right. "Morning Hawks." Y/n responded. "Too early in the morning for you to use my name?" He smirked, flying closer to her. "Too early in the morning for you to bug me Keigo." She rolled her eyes and he chuckled. "How's teaching going?" Keigo asked. "It's... great. Why?" She asked, squinting at him suspiciously. "No reason. Just never thought you'd end up back there again. You've always whined about how you couldn't wait to go pro and skip all the boring lessons when we were in school."

The mention of her days in school made her smile. He smiled too. It's rare for them to reminisce. It was a touchy subject. "What, y'think I'm not up to it of something?" She questioned with a little smile. "No no of course you can. I just recall you saying that if you ever go back to school you're either being held hostage or you're depressed and have no hope." Keigo shrugged, making her laugh loudly. "Nah don't worry I'm not depressed. Being a pro sure is lonely, but I'm having the most fun of my life." She lied through her teeth. He just laughed and shook his head. "Yeah, that's true.." He hummed.

This moment of nostalgia didn't last long as the two halted their flying and swinging, their eyes widening at the large orange slimy-tentacle monster that was growing larger by the second a few streets ahead. "What the shit..." Y/n whispered. "We're gonna have to fight it aren't we.." Keigo sighed. She nodded slowly. "I think yes. We might have to do that." She cringed when it raised a tentacle, flinging its slime on the building next to it. The thing itself was about the size of the building...

"It's really big huh." He pursed his lips while eyeing it. "I've fought bigger." She muttered. Keigo turned and gave her a surprised glance. "Really? Wow-" "I'm fucking with you, it's massive!" She huffed with a grin. The large thing opened its mouth and howled. He rolled his eyes and the two jumped off of the roof that they were staring on. He glided through the air while Y/n swung behind him, trying to match his speed.
