Shadow and Wing

Chapter 5: Starting At UA and Nothing New

(Age: 16)

    After Aizawa told Isabella about Stella and how she died. Isabella has not been the same. She stayed more to herself than before, she hasn't fully talked to Aizawa, but she has still gone to school and did her singing. Blaise Takami has moved into the house, as well. Isabella met Blaise, but is not fully sure how to approach her. Mic has Isabella singing so much that she has been singing LIVE on his radio station. Isabella then signed onto a local record label. She stays in the city though since she is going to UA in the spring. Isabella noticed that Blaise was also going to UA, but will be a second year and she never truly asked about it even though she wanted to ask Blaise about it.

   When the Hero Commission heard about Isabella's singing capability and her going to UA to be a hero, they looked into her background. They saw that she is Eraserhead's and SmokeScene's daughter. The Hero Commission then sent out a letter to Isabella to ask her if she will model and be considered the actual youngest hero in the Hero Community to try to persuade new Heroes from the younger generations.

   Isabella approved their offer, also feeling like she couldn't refuse it. She became a professional singer and model. She also agreed with the Hero Commission to take the Hero License test to get her license sooner during her first year at UA when she feels the most comfortable. Blaise took notice of everything that Isabella was going through even before she started at UA, neither Blaise nor Isabella started a conversation with each other. Aizawa also gave Isabella her own capture weapon just like his own capture weapon. On top of Isabella getting a capture weapon from Aizawa, she also got a pair of katanas from her uncle, Present Mic.

Isabella's Pov

     It is my first year at UA. I changed into my UA uniform, which is a white short sleeve shirt and a green skirt with a red tie. Looking at myself in a mirror, I sigh wondering if I can really do this. I mumble to myself, "I mean I killed my own mom... Do they really think I can be a hero?..." I continue to stare at myself in the mirror wondering if what I am doing is the right thing. Plus... I now have a new person in my life that I now live with and I don't know how to approach her or talk to her. Knowing my dad and Blaise are already at the school before me. Since dad worked the night before and went straight to the school. Blaise is also attending UA, but she is a year higher than me. She most probably left before I woke up, she sometimes did that. But, dad didn't mind as long as she came back with no injuries or got into trouble. So, I get ready for school at my own pace then go downstairs to the kitchen to get me a light breakfast, and I walk out the front door locking it behind me.

     As I walk down the sidewalk with my earphones in my ears listening to music, like I always do. I see news about the ranking fast Pro Hero Hawks and how they are expecting him to be in the top three this year. I get to the train station and I get on my appropriate train as I look at my phone looking at different news titles. Then, one catches my eye and it says, "New Rising Hero! She Will Be the New Youngest Hero!" I quickly tap the news link and see that it is talking about me, and that it is saying how I will be getting my hero license to start my Pro Hero work during my first year at UA, along with my singing and modeling career. Luckily I don't see any mention of my name anywhere in the article. I sigh with relief as the train arrives at my destination and I get off.

    I continue to listen to music and not really talk to anyone knowing that people most likely already spread rumors about me and how I got in. I mean it isn't unusual for someone to get in by recommendation. We still take a test to determine what class we will be in for hero training. I feel my phone vibrate and I look at it, seeing that there are notifications that apparently 'Hawks' isn't being too fond about not being the youngest Pro Hero anymore. I roll my eyes and shake my head seeing his responses to the news title and information about it. That is so stupid... Who cares about being the youngest hero? I won't be in the spotlight for my hero work anyways. Stupid. I roll my eyes and put my phone away, still listening to music and walking into the building.
