     Day in and day out, villains still used their quirks for such small things. 
     She sat on the rooftop of the office building, kicking her feet over the edge.  Her friend Nishiya, a pro-hero who went by Kamui Woods, was battling a man covered in hair.  She didn't know what the fight was about but it couldn't have been too serious.  

     A lazy smile hung on her face, only broken by a small laugh when the villain called Kamui Woods a toothpick in reference to his quirk, in which he could manipulate wood, and by extension, his wooden body.  
     A crowd was forming outside of the perimeter of the fight.  Considering that it was 8am on a weekday, it made sense, as commuters were blocked on their way to school and work.  

     There were a couple of people who stood out, unique hair colors or large quirks pushing them above the crowd.  One was for another reason, though.  Well, he did have an interesting hair color, being what looked to be a deep green, but what caught her eye was him physically shoving past people and between them to get closer to the ongoing battle.  That was uncommon.  
     She wondered if he was a budding hero.  He seemed to be wearing a school uniform, it's consistent black lending itself toward something worn by middle schoolers.  She wondered what his quirk was, if she'd ever work with him.  

     She sighs to herself at the woman going through an exaggerated growth spurt.  She wasn't a fan of her, self-titled Mount Lady.  Her quirk let her grow over 10x her usual size. 
     She used this to steal all spotlight Kamui Woods had, growing perfectly so her boobs would take up the cameras that had previously been focused on the aforementioned toothpick.  She did defeat the guy, but stayed huge, causing untold damage just so she could make a cute pose and get pictures.  

     "Koa-chan!" 
     She blinks as she tunes back into her immediate surroundings.  Then she looks down, seeing a mop of black hair on the pavement below. 
     "Get down from there!"  

     She smiles as she pushes herself off the building.  She hardens her body right as she hits the ground, deepening the hole she'd unintentionally been working on for months.  She really needed to get that patched up.  
     "Hey!" she calls.  She hops the steel fence and pulls her friend into a quick hug.  His name was Kirishima Eijiro, one of the two people she'd been best friends with since she was a kid.  

     "What's up, man?" he asks cheerfully.  She shrugs her shoulders.  
     "Nothing much," she answers.  "What's up with you?"
     "Nothing for me either," he huffs playfully.  "I'm on the way to school, you joining me?" 
     She nods happily as they begin walking.  

     Kirishima looks down the crowded street to their left, finally starting to clear through as the battle was over and commuters could finally get through.  "Ah!  I tried to make it out in time to see what happened."   
     She chuckles to herself.  "It was nothing much.  Kamui Woods beating the guy, then Mount Lady grew twice the size and stole the cameras and victory.  The usual.  Oh, but the guy called Kamui a toothpick which I find hilarious," she tells him.
