Chapter 3 - Proving your Worth

As dawn painted the sky with hues of pink and orange, you arrived at the hero agency an hour earlier than the scheduled briefing. The streets were still quiet, and the city was slowly waking up to the promise of a new day.

The agency building loomed ahead, its exterior a mix of modern architecture and the battle scars of countless encounters. Taking a moment to appreciate the quiet before the storm, you pushed open the glass door and stepped into the familiar surroundings.

The front desk was manned by a security guard, who nodded in acknowledgment as you passed. The main area was still dimly lit, and the only sounds were the soft hum of electronic devices and the distant whirr of an early morning cleaning robot.

As you made your way through the quiet agency, you couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the surroundings. The place was a testament to the battles fought and won, with scars etched into its very structure.

You headed towards Bakugou's as you'd figured you would try and catch up with him about yesterdays work before the briefing today.

Reaching Bakugou's office, you scanned the all-access pass Midoriya had given you. The door slid open, revealing a space that mirrored the explosive hero's personality. The room was meticulously organized, with shelves of hero memorabilia and files documenting past missions. A large desk dominated the center, cluttered with paperwork and hero gear.

The room exuded a sense of determination and fierce ambition, much like the hero himself. The iconic "Dynamite" emblem adorned the walls, a constant reminder of the agency's commitment to justice.

You took a moment to admire the view from the window, the city awakening under the hues of the rising sun. It was a reminder of the responsibility that came with being a hero—a responsibility you were eager to embrace.

Suddenly the door swung open, and Bakugou entered the room, a furrow forming on his brow as he spotted you. "What the hell are you doing here?" he demanded, surprised to find you in his office.

You turned to face him with a mischievous grin. "Just thought I'd get an early start, Sparky. Found Deku's all-access pass quite handy."

Bakugou scowled at the nickname, his annoyance bubbling to the surface. "That bastard" he mumbled under his breath.

He crossed his arms, eyeing you with a mix of annoyance and curiosity. "Now cut the crap, I don't need someone underfoot."

You couldn't help but notice Bakugou's attire—it was a far cry from his usual hero costume. He wore a simple black t-shirt, the Dynamite emblem emblazoned on it, paired with dark jeans. It was a stark contrast to the intimidating hero persona he presented on the field.

"Nice outfit, Dynamite. Going for the casual look today?" you teased, raising an eyebrow.

Bakugou's irritation flared. "Shut up, Leaf Blower. This ain't a fashion show. Just get out so I can prep for the damn briefing," he snapped, waving you off.

You chuckled, deciding not to press further. "Alright, I'll leave you to it. See you at the briefing." With a playful salute, you made your exit, leaving Bakugou to his preparations.

As you exited Bakugou's office, the atmosphere in the agency was becoming livelier. Heroes and sidekicks bustled about, preparing for the day ahead.

Navigating through the bustling agency, you found yourself exploring its various sections. The labyrinth of hallways led you past rooms filled with hero costumes, high-tech gadgets, and even a state-of-the-art gym where heroes trained to hone their skills.

Taking mental notes of your surroundings, you finally stumbled upon a communal area. The aroma of coffee grew stronger, drawing your attention to a cozy break room filled with heroes sharing stories, laughter, and the anticipation of the day's challenges.
