BNHA Siblings: The Anxious & The Exuberant

Patrol Goes Awry

"How clever that little hero is," one with holes all over his body points at Hiroko.

"Her really? I thought she was a criminal."

Kirishima's temper gets the better of him, "How dare you talk about her like that! Karisma is a hero among heroes!"

"Oh, is she," the one with elongating sharp fingers says. "Then let's test that!"

The knife fingers fly towards them, but Hiroko rolls out from the group and activates her pull quirk as she tumbles.

"Did she abandon her team?"

"Why did she do that?"

"Karisma are you ok?!" Fat Gum shouts above the crowd that is to intrigued to clear the area.

"Yes. I'm alright." She stands holding a child protectively in her arms. She keeps her eyes on the villains as she asks the child, "How about you? Are you ok?"

"Yes. Thank you Kari- Ma," a scared little boy shakes in her arms.

"You were so brave. I'm sorry if I frightened you. But now I need you to be really brave and run to safety. Can you do that?"

The boy nods his head. Placing him behind her protectively, not breaking eye contact with villains. Once she fully stands she pushes him toward the crowd forming behind the group of heroes.

"Excellent work Karisma. Everyone keep your guard up. It appears he can grow knives out of any part of his body," Fat Gum states.

"No fun!" the villain shouts as he retracts the one from his elbow that was imbedded in the ground where the boy stood. "Girl how did you know?"

"The name is Karisma! And its obvious, you shot over 10 knives in your first attack so it couldn't have been restricted to your fingers only," Hiroko explains as if it was a simple observation that didn't have any life and death implications.

"I got this one!" Kirishima steps forward with his body hardened awaiting the next attack.

"No we need to work as a team Red Riot," Fat Gum works to regroup the team.

"I'm bored! Let's just do this!" The villain with holes comes running at them and punching the air towards Fat Gum. Vibrations ripple through the air knocking him over.

"Fat Gum!" Kirishima and Hiroko try to run to his aid.

"Not so fast!" knife villain attacks Kirishima. "I want to have fun too."

The attacks are relentless on both heroes. Hiroko hesitates a moment trying to decide who needs more help. Before she can act a tentacle wraps around her and pulls her focus.

"Suneater what are you doing?" she lands slightly behind Tamaki.

"We need to work as a team. While this unknown villain still waiting to make a move," he explain in an unexpected authoritative tone.

"Understood," Hiroko takes a defensive stance waiting for Tamaki's guidance or for an attack.

Instead of directly fighting the villain starts moving along the edge of the area. Not gaining ground or retreating. Hiroko is now standing next Tamaki and acting as a wall to the crowd of citizens behind them.

Why are they not leaving? Their lives are in danger what fools, Hiroko growls in her mind.

"You do have villainess tendencies after all?" finally speaking.

"He's trying to get in our heads. Don't lose focus," Tamaki cautions.

"Not at all. Only hers," the villain's haggard smile makes Hiroko cringe in disgust with how he is looking at her.
