2 weeks later...

It's been 2 weeks since the fateful call in between All Might and Blue Wonder. She and her son August have been preparing themselves for the trip to Japan that'll help decide the boy's future. They have a private jet provided by the government to take them to Japan. They've been so busy with everything else, it has yet to come to their minds that August is yet to have any actual interaction Witt people his age! The only human interaction he's had is with his mom, Star & Stripes, and a couple government officials.

While in a black jeep on their way to the air strip, August had his head in his hands while his mom rubbed his back, "Fuck..." muttered out the boy. In fact it was all he could mutter. For one of the firsts times in his life, he felt fear and anxiety. He's fought robots, sparred with his mother, met the goddamn president, but going to hero college just like in the movies? It was too much for him to handle at the moment, especially in a country he's not used to. He's half Japanese and knows the language, but he grew up an American, different cultures and everything.

"Don't worry sweetie, just take deep breaths and control your emotions okay?" whispered Sofia in the most soothing voice she could muster and then continued, "I know it's a lot, and I know it must be hard for you, but you're one of the strongest boys I know sweetie. Just keep calm so you don't lose control and everything will be okay! You don't want to blow this car sky high do you? Haha! Just be yourself kiddo." She says with a toothy smile.

That's right, their shared quirk works based on their emotions. The higher they feel of a certain emotion, the stronger and more volatile the ability tied to that emotion is. For example, the strength enhancements are based off their anger and so do their energy blasts. It was very difficult for Sofia to train him as a child, and especially through puberty, but they've made tremendous strides over the years, she believes him to be on par with any top prospect of his age.

With a shallow breath, "I-I know mom, it's just.... a lot. Just a couple weeks ago, my world was only you, me, and training my quirk/body on the daily. Now I'm about to go to a new country, meet people my age, go to school, and just... ARGHHHHG" yells August throwing his head back, hands glowing in a red aura, threatening to release. Sofia quickly puts her smaller hands over his larger ones and the aura dies down.

"I'm scared mom.... I'm excited too!! I get to finally be a hero, meet All Might and Endeavor, make friends and just everything that comes with that. But I'm also scared... is that weird?" He looked over to his mother, hoping to get some of her patented motherly advice. A mix of anxiety and nervousness in his voice, but there's a dash of hope and excitement in his eyes. The confident and happy boy she knows is still in there.

With a deep sigh she says, "Look sweetie, things are always gonna change. I one day went from growing up in the streets of Philadelphia, to being the strongest hero in America, and then another day I went from that to struggling trying to be the best goddamn single mother I can be. I raised you the best I could, with all the love and compassion I could muster. I also know damn well I did not raise a quitter. You are a light sweetie, you're going to be the one to lead this world to a fair and just society, I have no doubt about that in my mind. You'll have plenty of time to get through the, but for now look, we're here!!" Just like Sofia says, a fancy looking private jet with the presidential logo on the side sat on the runway. A pilot with the head of a cat leaned against the door, waiting for the family expectantly.
