Heroes of Tomorrow

Part 20~Patrol

Uzu grinned as he rushed into the building. "Evening, Hawks. Evening Tokoyami."

Tokoyami nodded as Hawks waved. "Evening Morph. Now you're both here. You should head out."

"Where are we going this time?" Uzu tilted his head as Hawks led them out of the office.

"I've got a request to work on something big, so I don't have any time to look after you kids. I'm going to give you one of my sidekicks for now. You both have my number, so you can call me if anything big turns up."

Hawks stopped as he turned to the guy waiting by his door.

"Morph, Tsukuyomi, meet Robbin. He's gonna be the one to look after you today, and basically, any day, I have a mission that you're not quite ready for. He's my longest-running sidekick and will have zero problems keeping you out of trouble."

Robin stood up, nodding to Hawks as he stretched.

"Well, I've gotta go. Have fun, and don't do anything reckless."

Uzu waved him goodbye as Tokoyami bowed. "Goodbye, Hawks, and thank you once again for this opportunity."

"So, you're the new ones?" Robbin called their attention back to him as Uzu nodded. "Well, it should be a slow day. We're going to portal along the main shopping district and loop back around some of the more crime-ridden roads. Don't run off alone and all that. Come on." Robin began walking out as he yawned, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"So, Robbin? Is there anything we should know?" Uzu tilted his head as Robbin took a deep breath.

"I don't think so. We've had some reports of criminals fighting each other, so keep an eye out for that. Other than that, it's just a matter of walking until trouble comes."

"Sounds boring." Uzu pouted as Robbin chuckled.

"Kind of, but it's a vital part of being a hero, and it helps add to put you in the spotlight so people start noticing you."

"I went to UA and got kidnapped. I am not concerned about people knowing who I am."

Robbin laughed again." Guess that's true, but if you don't appear, they might forget you or worse, only remember the fact you were kidnapped."

Uzu hummed. "Yeah, I never thought about it like that."

"And what about you, bird boy? Do you think people know who you are?"

Tokoyami blinked before he nodded. "A few. I placed third in the Sports Festival, but it will not last long."

"That's the spirit," Robbin cheered sarcastically. "Now, keep an eye out. The road around this corner is a playground to thefts and robberies."

The students nodded as they followed Robbin around the loop.

Bakugo growled as he charged at the target, aka Todoroki, who sidestepped and covered him in ice.

"When dealing with an aggressive and dangerous foe, your priority should be taking them out with as little damage as possible. This can be done in a number of ways. Still, you should have a basic strategy in your back pocket, especially when working in cities, as damaging one building could harm hundreds of people. Hatsuharu, let's see your strategy."

Naka nodded as he walked in front of Bakugo, who growled. "Why am I the target again?" He didn't get an answer as he screamed, charging at Naka.

Naka rolled to the side, pressing a button on the inside of his glove. Instantly, the smoke surrounded them, and the large-ish clone stepped forward. They were about double the size of a regulator, and they wrapped Bakugo into a hug, holding him there as Bakugo screamed.
