Morals

Twelve

A/n- I know it's not canon that Mirko has a hero agency. But in this fic, she will have one. 

P.S. edited

      Aizawa called Denai and me to his office with a message from Mirko. Apparently, she wanted to meet us in person and requested that we bring our hero customs. Both of us grabbed our things and walked to the train station. Her agency was an hour and a half away. We'd have to take two trains to get there. We walked in silence, nothing being spoken between us. We arrived at the station and we waited a full fifteen minutes before the train showed up. We got on and sat in our seats. As we were riding, I glanced over at Denai, who was fidgeting in her seat. She seemed uncomfortable, like she's never ridden a train before. She looked like a small brat.

"Why the fuck do you keep fidgeting?!" I whisper-shout. She stayed silent and didn't say a peep.

"Don't tell me....you've never been on a train before?" She made eye contact with me and quickly averted her gaze. 

"You're fucking joking?!" I scoffed loudly.

" Do not mock me." 

" Shut it, princess! You acted all cocky in the beginning, but you've never been on a train." I laughed out.

"You're an ass." 

"What'd you say!?!" I seethed in anger.

'All passengers remain seated as the train enters the station.' 

The train finally stopped and we got off. We went to the bench nearby and sat down for the second train. It wasn't as crowded as I expected. I enjoyed the semi-quiet that permeated the air. I relaxed, shut my eyes, and slowed my breathing. I was on the verge of sleep until Denai shook me half to death. 

"What?!" 

"The train is here." I grabbed my suitcase and got on the train. The second ride took only twenty minutes. We still had a way to walk until reaching her office. After about a ten-minute walk from the station. We made it to the huge 'Ever Garden' agency. 

We walked up to the front desk, where, I'm assuming, her assistant works. She greeted us and told us to head up to the top floor. Denai was hesitant to get on the elevator. I assumed it was my first time riding one of those as well. 

'Fucking idiot.'

The elevator dinged, indicating we reached the top floor. We stepped off, and the first thing we heard was some dimwit getting an earful. I'm guessing Mirko was chewing out one of her sidekicks. I'd hate to be that guy. We walked up to the door. Before either one of us could knock, it flung open, revealing the rabbit hero, Mirko. The person she was yelling at was her top sidekick, Lava Reign. He was a hero who manipulates Lava however he sees fit. He's a tough bastard.

"Oh, hey! You must be the two kids I chose from UA?!" 

"Yes, I'm Denai." 

"Bakugou."

"Bakugou? Oh, I remember you! You're that first-year brat I met before the war." She cackled.

"Who are you calling a brat, hag?" I mumbled.

"Anyway, you two come on in. We have a lot to discuss." She invited us into her office and sat us down. She pulled two pieces of paper out. They looked like contracts, one for each of us to sign. 

"Before we get to signing, there is something I'd like to tell both of you. Just a little advice." 

'Get on with it.'

"Let's start with the hot head over here," She pointed to me.

"You have great battle sense. You're calculated and can execute plans fairly well. But you're also overly aggressive and use up a good majority of your quirk before the fight really gets underway. You need to dial it back if you're going to last long." This was something I already knew. It was what I was currently working on, and she just confirmed it. I needed to hear it from another perspective. 

"As for you, Denai, you're talented at quirk control, and you are clever in how you use it. But you can afford to gain more battle experience. You're too uptight, and I think if you loosened up and just read the flow of battle, you'd be a beast,"

"And with that being said, I want to welcome you to the agency." She handed us some pens. I signed my paper quickly before she gave another long-winded speech. I passed mine back, and she stamped it. 

" Now that you've done that, I want you to get dressed in your costumes. We're taking you to meet the other members of the team, 'Ever Garden'."

They threw us a welcome party. We met the other sidekicks and the detectives, a part of the main team. It felt like I was closer to my goals of becoming number one. This was just one step on the ladder. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We arrived back at our apartment after a long day at the agency. I was exhausted and ready to shower. I needed some shut-eye before I collapsed. Denai fell asleep on the train and was lying on my shoulder the entire time. I was flustered the whole ride home because of it. She then dared to wake up and glare at me as if I did something wrong. When she was the one who lay on me.

I rushed to my room and threw my stuff down. I snatched my clothes off and hopped in the shower. I turned the water on hot and stepped underneath the scalding liquid. My muscles relaxed, and my mind was clear. But not totally clear. It flashed to the train, and Denai lay her head on me. It made me flustered all over again. I shook my mind clear, thinking of being signed to Mirko. She was the number five hero and arguably one of the strongest. Being under her would definitely boost him to the top spot.

I finished my shower, got out, and dried off. I put my towel over my head and walked to the kitchen to grab a bite. It was dark, but I was close to the light switch. I flicked on the lights and was thoroughly scared to death. The damn girl is sitting in the dark eating a fucking sandwich!

"Fucking weirdo!... The fuck are you doing down here in the dark?!" I asked panting from the excitement.

"I was eating."

"I can see that!"

"I didn't want to disturb anyone, so I shut off the light." She continued eating after explaining herself.

"How can you even see in the dark?" I walked over to her to see the full picture. She was sitting on a stool by the window. She had on a pair of silk pajama pants and a T-shirt. Her hair was in a messy bun. 

"I only turned the light off after I was finished."  I grabbed half of her sandwich, biting into it.

"I might as well sit down with you, idiot." 

"You want to be in my presence?" I almost choked on half of my sandwich.

"Hell no! I didn't say that, fucking witch!" Heat rose to my face after realizing how that sounded.

"If you say so..."
