Chapter 4: The American Heroes

Today is the World Heroes Association Event, where all the heroes worldwide join, interact, and make connections with one another. We all know the World Heroes Association is a governing body responsible for overseeing the hero work in the world's nations. However, yearly, they promote this fancy yet formal event where all the heroes unite under one roof. Every year, the location is set at a random place. This year's occasion was held on I-Island. This event treated heroes like celebrities as they provided this red carpet presentation where the paparazzi took photos and interviewed heroes left and right. Not to mention the fanboying or fangirling screaming over their favorite local and international heroes.

You never really like attending these events due to the number of published reporters that pride and invade heroes' spaces. However, you digress because I-Island migrated towards Japan coincidentally around the same time at the event. Hence, it would not be a far journey for this affair.

Your longtime mentor wanted this day to feel unique to you, given the circumstances of the latest update the WHA will announce to the public. Hawks knew you did not like the attention it would bring, so he planned a self-care pampering morning for you. He knew that the best way to feel confident was to look the part and that you had to be at your best.

From manicures, pedicures, and spa-like massages, Hawks ensured he showered you with a healthy diversion to ease some of the social anxiety. Fortunately, his method worked; you felt calm and relaxed before the madness and eventful festivities.

Most heroes booked the hotel closest to the venue so that traveling wouldn't be a big issue for this event. Luckily, the WHA bought out the whole resort to make the area exclusive and private for the heroes to wander freely. It made it convenient knowing that your friend Mina was on the same floor as you, and you couldn't wait to bring her over and share this enjoyable experience.

Hawks was relaxed about having your friend over since the standard room was filled with testosterone. Nonetheless, you all vibe to various playlists that suit everyone's musical taste.

"You came down by yourself?" You glanced at Mina while the nail tech continued to design your nail bed.

"Oh no, I'm here with Kirishima, but he is getting ready with Bakugo. I was going to do my own thing, but I am glad you called." Mina beamed at you graciously.

"I know, right? A good pampering day isn't anything without your best gal!" You and Mina chortled simultaneously.

"Wow, songbird. Just exclude us, why don't you," Hawks jokingly commented while leaning back on his chair, directing his eyes toward your direction.

"I swear, if I didn't know any better, I would think you two are a couple or something." Mina pointed out discreetly.

"Welcome to the story of my life," Tokoyami asserted, his head bowed, and arms crossed along his chest. "They always flirt with each other and claim that they don't like each other."

"Now, I never said I did not like Mr. Keigo Takami," you attempted to speak out seductively, making Hawks almost fall out of his chair as he blushed and made Tokoyami spit up his black coffee.

Mina laughed uncontrollably at your comeback, "come on, Ren. It's time to put on our dress so we can skedaddle." Mina sprang out of her chair, admiring her manicure set as she was pumped about the event.

You glanced at the pinky girl with joy and contentment that she was in your presents. Mina is someone you can count on to liven up the space. Amazingly, you both connected well in high school.

You and Mina left for the next room and began changing outfits.

"Bitch, suck it in."

"GIRL, YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME"
