Legion

Internships

"When we rescue others, we rescue ourselves."

"All Might...you're cracking the table." Aizawa pointed out as Toshinori breathed in deeply and calmed himself. He should have warned Izuku about Gran's pranks, but at the same time he was glad that his boy had reacted so quickly. They were currently in a room that had been repurposed by the Vod'e as a communication center, with equipment from the Support Course that had been linked to their communication system.

Powerloader had been very happy about the setup, glad to see his students get some experience.

He'd made sure to check that they wouldn't explode, however.

Huh, his boy.

"My apologies..."

"It's alright, if anything it's proven just how right Cody was to insist on the comm center." Aizawa said as he nodded to the clone in the room.

"Plus, it shows that range hasn't been a problem so far. As it is, I'm still gonna follow protocol." Pressing a button, Cody called his brother."

"Mand'alor. UA. Confirm false alarm."

...

#Confirmed. All Clear.#

#Confirmed. All Clear.#

Ochako let out a sigh of relief, allowing the tension to fall from her shoulders, she noticed the two clones who'd arrived with her loosen the grip on their weapons before putting them away.

Gunhead watched her calm down, admittedly a bit worried at seeing a newbie have such a rapid and tense response to an attack.

Then he remembered that these UA kids had apparently already faced villains at the USJ and had even witnessed a lot of death.

'Yeah, this reaction is about right...ain't that just sad.' Gunhead thought before calling out to her.

She turned and apologized but he waved it off.

"It's fine...look, you kids have been through a lot already. Much more than you should have, you've got good instincts judging by what I saw, here I'm going to teach you how to hone them."

A small pause, gravity seeming to increase on them.

"It's gonna be so much fun!" Gunhead finished with a cheer.

'He's adorable!'

"Are you alright, kid?" Death Arms asked as he kneeled next to the girl who was sitting against the wall. Kyoka's heart was pounding, the sound reverberating through her ears, the jacks itching to dig into something and unleash their power.

"Yeah just...it was really sudden, the call came in and went away so fast, and we're all so far apart like..."

"Like the USJ, huh? I heard a lot about that from Cutup and 4040." Death Arms said as he laid a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Kyoka merely nodded while holding her hands to her head, not shrugging off Death Arms but not exactly leaning into his touch either.

"Have you talked to anybody about it?"

"Hound Dog-sensei has been having counseling sessions with all of us...but it's still hard...I don't know how Izuku manages it. How any of them manage it. Fordo...he killed a guy and..." Her jaw clamped shut as she trembled.

Death Arms sighed before sitting next to her.

"You know...a part of me wants to say that these internships have been a bit rushed."

"I-I can do this...I have to do this...I-"

"Hold up, I didn't say that I was sending you back, merely making an observation. Either way, you're here, and my job is to help you out." He said before sitting next to her.
