  Jade-
  The two weeks went by fast, and Enji drove us to the commission for our test. "You two have fun, and good luck." Enji said, giving us a thumbs up.
  We smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "Thanks dad, I won't let you down." Shoto said.
  "Son, I don't care if you pass. Just try your best, that's enough." Enji said, and Shoto nodded as he drove off.
  I held Shoto's hand, we were both in our hero costumes and we walked in together. "Ok you two, the test is very similar to the USJ. There are actors around the real city simulation that are villains, other heroes, and civilians. You'll know which is which by their demeanor. They have been told to hold back, but they are allowed to use their Quirks to battle you. The two of you will be graded based on a few things 1) how you work as a team with other heroes, 2) how you carry out evacuation, search, and rescue, 3) how you handle a fight with a villain, and 4) how comfortable you make the civilians you're rescuing. Treat this like you would treat a real-life situation, ok? The actors will be your graders. You'll have however much time you need, but we are watching." The leader said.
  "Yes sir, thank you for the opportunity sir." We both said, bowing to him.
  He bowed back. "Good luck kids, we're counting on you." The leader said, and we nodded, jumping down to the area as it morphed into a real city. "Ok, let's conduct search, rescue, and evacuation. The civilians should be our priority." Shoto said.
  "Right, take this. We can communicate via universal ear pieces. No range needed." I said.
  "Good, stay safe." Shoto said, putting his ear piece in.
  I smiled at him. "You too." I said.
  He smiled at me. "I'll check the north and east." Shoto said.
  "Right, I'll check south and west." I said.
  "We'll set up a medical tent here in the middle you two." A hero said, but this was a real Japanese hero...it wasn't an actor.
  "Yes sir." I said, bowing to him.
  "By the way, what are your hero names?" He asked.
  "I'm Seraphina." I said.
  "I'm still workshopping mine, for now just call me Shoto." Todoroki said.
  "Ok." The hero said, and we split up.
  "Something isn't right about this." I said, using my vines to swing across the city, sending my little mini chibi dragons made of water out to search.
  "Yeah, that was Edgeshot. Something's up." Shoto said.
  "Let's just focus on saving these people and getting them to the medical tent." I said.
  "Right." Shoto said, using his ice to travel around the city, melting it with his fire when he was done with it.
  "Here!" A dragon sentry said.
  I landed and saw the building in flames and debris everywhere. "Establish a perimeter." I told the little dragons and they did just that.
  "Help!" A civilian said.
  "I'm here, are you hurt?" I asked.
  "I think I'm ok." He said.
  "Still, let me just make sure your ok. Are there others here?" I asked.
  "Yes ma'am." He said.
  "Ok." I said, covering his wounds in gel made from a healing herb.
  I pulled him out and placed him in my Water Dragon's Lair. "Stay here, I'm going to search for others. You're safe, those dragons will protect you." I said, smiling and he smiled at me back, tears in his eyes.
  "Thank you!" He exclaimed.
  I nodded and went in, I evacuated everyone, the last person I saw was a little girl and her dog. "Hi, don't be scared, I'm here to help. My name is Seraphina." I said.
  "I'm scared." She cried.
  "Sweetie, it's ok to be scared. I get scared too, but you're gonna be just fine, why? Because I'm right here with you, and your sweet dog." I said.
  "The villains...they destroyed this building." She said.
  "Don't worry about that right now, I'm going to get you and your dog out of here, ok. What's your favorite animal?" I asked.
  "A...a seal." She said.
  "Ok." I said, and I made a little stuffed seal. "Hold on tight to that, I'm gonna grab you and your dog ok." I said, using my earth to stabilize the building as I pulled them out and ran her to the dome. "Stay here, ok?" I asked, smiling and she nodded.
  "Behind you!" A man shouted.
  I jumped back and sliced in an X, cutting the villain with my water cutter. "You aren't a hero I know anything about girl." The woman said.
  "I'm supposed to be getting my provisional license, but something tells me this isn't a test any more." I said.
  "Test? Ha! No, no. I'm the real deal girl, now get lost so I can kill those people." She said.
  "As if I'd let you harm innocent people." I said.
  "You're way out of your depth here child. Let the adults come out and play." She said.
  "They're busy tending to the injured so you're stuck." I said.
  She roared with anger and shot she violet attacks at me. "Water Shield!" I shouted, blocking the attack and negating it.
  "Ok, these villains are real, I hope Shoto's ok." I thought.

  Shoto-
  I saw a burning building and walked to it, and it began to snow. "It's ok everyone, I'm here to help you out." I said, and they cheered as I got all of them out with my different fire and ice animal creations and into a designated safe area. "Help!!!" A little boy shouted.
  I ran into the building. "Call out again!" I shouted.
  "Under the floor!" He shouted, and I ripped up the board and grabbed him. "Are you alright?" I asked.
  "I'm fine, lookout!" The boy shouted, and I turned my back to the massive sword that came down towards us and put up an ice pillar.
  I held the kid and ran outside of the building, using the capsules to heal his wounds. "Take him, please." I said, handing him to one of the women in there, and she took him.
  "No!" The kid shouted, gripping me.
  "It's ok, you're safe now. Nothings gonna happen to you, I'll save you with everything I have! I promise you, I'm going to save you!" I shouted, taking my stance, lighting my fire side.
  "Die, you filthy brat!" The guy shouted, slashing at me with his sword.
  I dodged. "Flashfreeze Heatwave!" I shouted, and the attack sent him flying back, injuring him. "I hope Jade's ok." I thought.

  Enji-
  Midoriya, Bakugo, Kirishima, Sero and I were out on patrol, they were all four my interns. "This is boring, when can we fight some villains?" Bakugo asked.
  I sighed. "Being a hero isn't just about fighting villains Bakugo, it's about protecting and serving the public too, that includes patrols. Now quit complaining or you're going back to the office." I said, and he groaned.
  "I hope Jade and Shoto's test is going ok." Midoriya said.
  "I think they'll be fine Midoriya." Sero said.
  "Please! We need pro heroes to the commission! Villains hijacked the test and two non-licensed heroes are fighting against real villains! Anyone!" The commission shouted.
  "Hmm..." I began. "Midoriya, take Kirishima and go in the west direction, look for signs of Jade and Shoto." I said.
  "What, why?" Midoriya asked.
  "The commission's test got hijacked by real villains. Jade and Shoto are fighting right now, make sure you're there." I said. "Sero, Bakugo, come with me." I said, and we all took off.
  We went east, Kirishima and Midoriya went west and we looked for them.

  Jade-
  I beat her and subdued her, keeping her knocked out. "Is everyone alright?" I asked, lifting her over my shoulder.
  "Yes ma'am." They all said.
  "Good, we're gonna get you all to safety." I said, and they cheered as I walked them to the medic tent.

  Shoto-
  I beat him and subdued him, keeping him knocked out. "How is everyone holding up?" I asked.
  "Good, just a bit shaken up." They all said.
  I smiled at them. "That's perfectly normal, we're gonna get you guys to safety." I said, and they cheered as we headed towards the medic tent.
  We got them all to the medic tent and the heroes there took care of them. Jade and I had to give police statements, but thankfully my dad showed up and made everything better.
  "Are you okay?" I asked.
  "Yeah, you?" Jade asked.
  "Yeah, thanks." I said.
  My dad stood in front of us, Bakugo, Midoriya, Kirishima, and Sero watching from behind as we bowed to my dad. "What the two of you did, it was highly illegal. I understand these mistakes, and misunderstanding, but it doesn't justify your actions today. I should be furious with you two, you knew better." Dad said, and we both stayed bowed. "However, I won't deny that the actions the two of you took today saved millions of lives and stopped two very highly dangerous criminals. So, that said, I'm proud of you two. If you hadn't taken action, things would have been a lot worse." Dad said, and I hugged him tightly.
  He chuckled, hugging me back, wiping my tears. "Thank you, Enji." Jade said, bowing and he pulled her in too, kneeling down to our level. "I am so proud of the two of you." Dad said, hugging us, and we hugged him back.
  He took us to the commission. "Given the circumstances, we are more than happy to give you both your provisional hero licenses. You showed immense bravery, calm in the face of danger, commitment to protecting those in need, determination for saving everyone, and acted as real heroes. The commission would be fools not to give the two of you your provisional hero licenses. Good job kids." The leader said, and Jade and I high fived.
  "That means, you two are now officially my interns." Dad said, and we cheered, as we headed back to UA after the day we had.
  We wound down, cuddling in Jade's room and watching the movie Black Widow.
