The Crew

Chapter 41: Internships

3rd POV

The AHS headquarters buzzed with energy as Terroriser and their recruits returned. In his workshop, Terroriser diligently worked on a new suit for Basically, determined to rectify the damage inflicted during the intense duel with Wildcat. Meanwhile, Wildcat continued his apologies, attempting to mend the strained camaraderie. Vanoss immersed himself in the melodies of his music room, skillfully playing various instruments that echoed through the headquarters. Delirious, in the training room, pushed the limits of his semblance, seeking to unleash its full potential. Nogla, ever the culinary maestro, worked his magic in the kitchen, crafting delectable dishes to fuel the team.

In the living room, Wildcat and Basically engaged in a fierce video game battle, their competitive spirits igniting the room. On the other side, the trio of recruits—Eugene, Kaina, and Rumi—engaged in a friendly game of pool, laughter and banter filling the air.

Amidst the routine activities, an unexpected presence emerged from the elevator, casting a sudden hush over the bustling headquarters. The atmosphere shifted as the mysterious figure stepped forward, hinting at an impending change in the equilibrium of their daily lives. Principal Nezu strode confidently into the AHS headquarters, accompanied by a shy young man. With an encouraging gesture, he prompted the reserved individual to step out of the elevator and face the team. The AHS members, puzzled by their unexpected guests, inquired about the purpose of their visit.

Principal Nezu elucidated the reason for their presence—An internship opportunity for the young man, who had yet to secure one. The AHS team exchanged glances, apprehensive about involving a newcomer in their perilous line of work. They reminded the principal of their primary mission: the elimination of villains. 

Principal Nezu countered, asserting that the intern, Anken Kuro, could learn valuable lessons in quirk utilization by observing their fights and strategies. Terroriser, after a moment of contemplation, nodded in agreement, granting permission for the shy young man to intern at their headquarters. Nogla, ever the welcoming presence, approached Anken and inquired about his name.

Nogla: What's yer name?

Kuro: A-Anken Kuro..

He replied timidly. The team extended a warm welcome, and Nogla, sensing hunger in the air, offered to feed the new intern. Anken, with a grateful nod, followed Nogla to the kitchen, the beginning of a new chapter in his journey with the AHS team. As the AHS Team convened in the training room, curiosity burning in their eyes, Basically seized the moment to inquire about Anken Kuro's quirk. In a soft mutter, he revealed.

 Kuro: .....Atom manipulation...

The words were almost lost in the air, prompting Basically to request clarification. This time, Kuro spoke louder, reaffirming.

Kuro: Atom manipulation..!

The gravity of Kuro's ability began to sink in. A hushed tension filled the room as some members exchanged knowing nods, while others fixated their gaze on Kuro with a hint of trepidation. Atom manipulation was not a power to be taken lightly. In response to Basically's prompting, Kuro, with an air of nonchalance, declared.

Kuro: I can make a car right now..

The statement hung in the air, catching the AHS Team off guard. A sense of skepticism lingered until Wildcat, ever the provocateur, challenged him with a resounding.

 Wildcat: Prove it!

Nervously, Kuro hesitated for a moment before invoking his quirk. In an instant, a car materialized out of thin air, gleaming in front of the astonished AHS Team. Shock and awe spread through their ranks as they gathered around Kuro, cheering in amazement at the manifestation of his incredible quirk.
