"Let me get this straight, Ophi-san. We are going to Endeavor's Agency for my Quirk Testing, really!?"
Izuku was looking forward to seeing the agency for the first time, yet he was nervous. The agency is popular not because of Endeavor, he could care less about him, but the agency also has other pro heroes that are flame-based. Like Burnin', her Quirk is Flaming Hair that glows a greenish-yellow and she can grab her hair and throw it at villains, rumor has it she can fly with it too.
Eevee was giggling at her friend at his cuteness, his eyes going bright like a supernova. Ophelia smiled as well, seeing that smile makes her heart flutter. "That is correct, they have the best equipment for fire-based Quirks and they may help you control it if things happen. I can't use my Silk Touch all the time when it happens, so they may have some pointers on how to help control yours."
"Eevee's also here to determine my stability because one of my forms is flame based." Eevee added, looking at her tail twitching for a few seconds. "We are here to make sure Eevee is still fit after the concussion, correct?"
Ophelia looked in her rear-view mirror and nodded. "Yes, I want to make sure you are ok too. I can't deny it did not shake me but other than your verbal tic and the current spasm, you have not changed much."
"Eevee has a verbal tic?" The fennec look-alike asked in confusion. She did not think she had one, but when she looked at the verdanette he giggled and nodded.
"That is true, you do have a tic in your speech, personally I think it is cute." Izuku replied in a smile that was injected into the Eevette's. "Eevee is still Eevee."
"Izu-kun thinks Eevee is cute?" Eevee asked innocently and that caused Izuku to turn and give a slight brush, then smirked at a memory.
"I know Kacchan thought you were."
"Eeep!" The Eevette blushed and turned into her Flareon form as she remembered that she and the blonde took a nap with her on top of him in her Flame Fox Mode. They both haven't talked since he headed back home.
Ophelia and Izuku laughed at her cuteness, and just for fun Izuku took a picture of her still steaming face and sent the photo to Katsuki. The blonde sent a message 0.5 seconds later.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!!??"
Izuku then laughed loudly as he sent another reply. "Karma no. 2."

"Welcome to Endeavor's Agency!!"
"OHMYGOD, IT'S BURNIN'!!!" Izuku screamed and went towards the Flaming Hair Heroine, who blinked several times at the boy's enthusiasm. "Oh wow, it is great to meet you! Your Quirk is Flaming Hair correct? Rumor has it allows you to fly, is that true?"
The limette laughed at the verdanette. "I love your enthusiasm, yes it does allow me to fly as well as make others burn once my hair hits them. That is why I like throwing my 'hairballs', ha!"
"Ohhhhh, so the heat your hair produce in a certain position causes an updraft, allowing you to fly as well as the propulsion of certain hair points allows maneuverability." He muttered as he added the info into a notebook. "Does it, by chance, morph into something that you want it to? For example, a flame fist."
"Ha! Not a chance, not that I didn't try, my hair is pretty stubborn."
"Burn-nee!"
"Hey there, Firebush! How are you doing?" The limette smiled as she hugged Eevee, her cream tail waving in happiness. "You training a bit with Shoto?"
"Depends, mom wants me to get an evaluation. A week ago some guy kicked my head and knocked Eevee out."
"WHERE IS THE BASTARD??!! LET ME AT HIM!"
Ophelia laughed at Burnin's protectiveness. "He has already been caught and is facing Periwinkle at the moment."
"Oh, in that case he's going to be bending over somewhere." Burnin said calmly, knowing that she will have no mercy. "So we need to make sure you are fit as a fiddle, huh? No worries! We can do that together once we get to the training section of this fella's evaluation."
The verdanette squeaked in both nervousness and excitement as he was finally going to find out what kind of flame quirk he has, and if it is not registered. If he has an unnamed Quirk he would be ecstatic and he would tell them what kind of name he wants his Quirk to be.
He was also nervous because the serpentine notified him that he may need to be naked or somewhat naked when they test the recovery. Izuku did not want everyone to know that he was beaten, however, Ophelia told him that Burnin' can be trusted.
The duo arrived in a separate room where there would be no interference and the Heroine was looking at the files to check the basics. She had a few questions for clarification.
"So, you are a late bloomer?" Burnin' asked, looking at the files Ophelia has given her. She was trying hard to keep her composure at what she was reading. The limette couldn't fathom how a parent would torture their child, the bitch makes Endeavor look innocent, and that is saying something.
"H-hai...It triggered a few weeks ago during the sludge villain attack. How it triggered is a mystery to me as the events are blurry, all I do know is that it was after Kacchan blasted the villain away from us."
"Hmmm," Burnin' hummed as she looked further into the file. According to Recovery Girl and Ophiuchi, the quirk activated several minutes after being crushed by a brick wall. The amount of blood shown in the picture is an indication that he had bled to death and that has led the Heroine to think that this was a "Death" Condition Quirk. One of the most volatile conditions and it needed to be tread carefully.
"And before the flare up that villain broke your arm?" Again the verdanette nodded. "Which then completely healed when it activated. So that is a possible sign that it is a healing or recovery Quirk, so we will have to do some injury tests."
Burnin' immediately saw the boy flinch as he had a series of flashbacks. She softened her voice a bit.
"We are not going to do extreme tests, it is against my morals to do so if you aren't comfortable. What we can do is minor cuts, 1 inch wide and shallow and calculate the recovery process from there." She then gave Izuku her fiery grin. "Ophiuchi would devour me if I go too far anyways, ha!"
"Pffft, hahaha. Ophi-San does have that vibe, doesn't she?" Izuku laughed, grateful that the Heroine won't go too far. "We can try to do deeper cuts if needed, but stop if I ask you to. I want to know the limit of my healing."
Burnin' nodded in approval before going to the next part of what the notes say. "There are also notes that your flames turned red and burned the villain in a firenado. Do you remember that?"
The verdanette looked down and shook his head. "No, that part I don't remember. I do recall feeling my stomach boiling in...rage?...other than that I don't remember that I had killed him."
Ok, it is an emotional Quirk like Endeavor. That may complicate things a bit. The limette thought and put the file down. "Ok kiddo, we are about to do the recovery test, I will need you to put on these gowns."
She tossed a hospital gown towards the greenette and walked behind the curtains. She saw the uncertainty in his eyes and she understood why. Not everyone wants to show survival scars. "If you have any questions let me know, I'll be on the other side of the curtains."
"Hai."
