Intentional, Infectional

All Right

The distant sounds of Jet Thrusters approached the Pussycats' home base, Beirah soon touching down after now being a Pro Striker who can use their Quirk publicly. As soon as she landed, she spotted Shino and Kota near the woods, speaking between each other without Kota's usual glare towards her.

She kept her distance from the two, watching them speak before seeing Kota give her a quick hug before backing away. She had no change of expression behind the mask, but she felt her chest get...lighter, somehow, at the sight.

"Beirah! Good to see you home!" She blinked and refocused, seeing both Shino and Kota looking over to her.

She walked over to the two, Shino smiling up to her with pride written all over her face. "Well? How's it feel to be a Pro now?"

"The same, but I am now able to fly myself home."

"Thankfully. We were starting to get worried about the truck."

She looked down to Kota, who's smile was a little unsteady compared to the one he had to introduce her with. She knelt down to his height, opening her arms.

"Are you worried about me being a Pro now Kota?"

"...A little..."

"Don't worry, I won't be going that easy. We have to stick together remember?"

His shaky smile became more truthful, moving in and hugging her as she offered. "Be careful...please..."

"Trust me, I will."

Shino couldn't help but join in as well, forever grateful for Beirah's entrance into their lives. If they never found her, or if she never decided to follow them back, Kota would probably still be suffering in his anger against the world, and the Pussycats have definitely never been livelier with their walking jungle gym that Tomoko and Ryuko like to mess around with.

"Oh, that reminds me." Beirah looked to her as Shino stood up before pointing at the house. "Yawara decided to make you something special for your new Job."

Beirah was definitely intrigued by that, standing up before turning to face Shino fully. "What kind of thing?"

"Go see for yourself, if I say it, it ruins the surprise."

Beirah gently pat Kota's head and stepped away, heading towards the building that they all stayed in together. As usual, she had to duck a little and go sideways to enter the door, even though it was already taller and wider than most doors in Japan.

Inside the house was both Tomoko and Ryuko sitting on the couch, on their phones before looking up to the door and seeing Beirah. Both sprang up as soon as she walked in, practically flying from the couch with smiles on their faces.

""BEIRAH!!""

As per usual, Beirah held her arms out straight, both grabbing on and swinging around before dropping and hugging the much taller girl. "Congrats on getting your license!"

"Yeah! How'd it go?!"

"It was a simple test, one I almost failed due to my mindset."

"Almost fail doesn't mean anything! You still passed!" Tomoko bounced around happily, as the bubbly woman usually did. "Now we can all go out on missions together! The Wild Wild Pussycats and...uhh..."

She stopped bouncing around, turning to look at Beirah with a comical Question Mark floating over her head. "What's your Hero name?"

"Hero name?"

"Tomoko's right. You need to think of a Hero name before going out there, otherwise you might get one from the Public that's...less than ideal."

Beirah looked up in thought, thinking of what she could do with a Hero name. Of course, with her position as a Striker, she wanted a name that could instill fear into Villains to get them to back down so death would be unnecessary, but what kind of name could work for that?
