📍New Orleans

Y/N stood in her bedroom, a suitcase open on her bed as she packed for her move to Japan. The room was a mess of clothes, shoes, and various belongings scattered around. She pulled out a drawer and, underneath a stack of old t-shirts, found her old cheetah plushie. She smiled, holding it up.
"Oh wow, I forgot about this little guy" This plushie has been there with me through everything.  'It's crazy that now my quirk.' She ran her fingers over the soft but wore out fur.
She then placed the flush in her suitcase, to remind her to stay humble. For her past was not perfect nor pretty. Unlike her.

She would spend the rest of the day packing and boxing up her entire life. It was a whirlwind of farewells, and last-minute photo shoots. Each step felt bittersweet, a mix of excitement for the future and sadness at leaving her familiar world behind.
As she finished up everything, the day before they leave she sat in the bare living of her and Nova's apartment, Nova sitting across from her.
"You've got a bright future ahead of you, Y/N. This is just the beginning."
Y/n looked at her "I can't believe I'm actually doing this. Going to Japan, UA High... It's all so surreal."

Nova placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "You're going to do great, Y/N. This is your chance to shine and show everyone what you're capable of."

"But I don't even know what Im capable of, I hardly ever use my quirk, not to mention Im going to school for the first time in 6 years" Y/n said with anxiety flooding her conscience.

"Honey you've done so many things in your life, had so many experiences. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that you're about to make one of the best decisions in your life".  Y/N took a deep breath. "Thanks, Nova. I couldn't have done any of this without you."

The two woman got up from their seat on the bare ground and went to sleep, for their final night in America.
The next morning before their flight they went to the Agency to say their final goodbyes.

The office was buzzing with activity, just like always. As she walked in, Karen, her other manager, looked up from her desk and broke into a wide smile.

"Y/N! I heard the news. Come here, girl!" Karen pulled her into a tight hug. "We're going to miss you so much around here."

Y/N smiled, trying to hold back her tears. "I'm going to miss you all too. This place has been like a second home to me, yall all are my family".

Other employees started gathering around, eager to wish her well.

"Y/N, it's not going to be the same without you," said Mark, one of the photographers. "Who's going to brighten up our shoots now?"

"Don't worry, Mark. I'm sure you'll find someone else to pester," Y/N teased.

"Not a chance, no one will be able to replace you two." he replied with a wink.

Karen handed Y/N a small gift bag. "We all chipped in and got you a little something for your journey."

Y/N opened the bag to find a baby pink Sony Digital camera. "It's for you to document your adventures in Japan," Karen explained. "We want to hear all about it."

Y/N felt her heart swell with gratitude. "Thank you so much, everyone. I really appreciate this."

Nova stepped forward, a proud smile on her face. "Y/N, it's time to head to the airport."

Y/N nodded and gave everyone one last hug. "I promise I'll make you all proud. Thank you for everything. I promise i'll come back to visit during my breaks."

As she walked out of the office, Y/N felt a mix of emotions. She was excited for the new chapter ahead but also nostalgic for the life she was leaving behind.
Opening the car door the two got in and headed to the airport.
📍Tokyo, Japan
Arriving in Tokyo after a 15 hr flight, Y/N marveled at the bustling city around her. The sights, sounds, and smells were all so new and exciting. A car awaited them at the airport, and a friendly driver helped her with her luggage.

"Welcome to Tokyo, Miss Klim and Miss Kondo. I'll be taking you to meet Mr. Sato and the team," the driver said with a polite bow.

'Omg I've never had someone bow to me Omg' " Thank you so much, its wonderful to meet you"
"Likewise" The driver said opening the car door.
Y/N settled into the backseat, looking out the window as they drove through the city. She was so excited, the culture in Japan was just so beautiful.

The car pulled up in front of a sleek, modern building. Y/N took a deep breath and stepped out.
"I will be here when you ladies are finished" Nova replied "Thank you"
The two walked into the building where they were greeted by Hiroshi Tanaka, who had a warm smile on his face.

"Y/N, and Ms. Kondo it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person," he said, shaking her hand. "I'm Hiroshi Tanaka, and I'll be your point of contact here in Japan."

"Nice to meet you too," Y/N replied, trying to keep her nerves in check.

"Come inside. Mr. Sato and the team are eager to meet you."

Inside, the office was quiet but you can hear all the typing going on with the computers. They made their way to a large conference room where Mr. Sato and a few other key members of the agency were waiting.

"Y/N, welcome," Mr. Sato greeted her warmly. "Please, have a seat."

Y/N sat down, her hands clasped in her lap, looking at Nova for reassurance.

"We're thrilled to have you here," Mr. Sato continued. "As you know, we've arranged for your enrollment at UA High. Since we're sponsoring you, we'll be involved in monitoring your progress."
Hiroshi nodded. "We've assigned you a personal trainer who will work with you on your quirk and physical conditioning. Additionally, we'll keep track of your academic performance and overall development at UA."

Nova nodded and Y/n spoke "I understand" then Nova send " We deeply appreciate the opportunity"

Ms. Suzuki, another agent, spoke up. "We believe you have tremendous potential, Y/N. UA is the best place for you to grow and develop your abilities."

"We have high expectations, but we're confident you'll exceed them," Mr. Sato added. "Do you have any questions or concerns?"

Y/N thought for a moment. "I guess I'm just a little nervous about fitting in and keeping up with the other students."

Hiroshi smiled reassuringly. "That's perfectly normal. Just be yourself and work hard. You'll do great."

Mr. Sato stood up, signaling the end of the meeting. "We're here to support you every step of the way. Welcome to Japan, Y/N. Let's make this a remarkable journey."

A wave of relieve washed over Y/n. She had confidence that this was a great team that'd be taking care of her.

She stood up and shook hands with everyone, feeling more confident than ever.

"Thank you, everyone. I won't let you down," she said, her voice filled with determination.
