Drowning. (Shoto Todoroki x OC)

Watch the Stars with Me

Mizuko could barely keep her eyes open at Aizawa's 5:30am start for training. She had her PE uniform on and her hair pulled back into a ponytail. She at least looked ready while her body was yearning to be back in bed. She yawned while waiting for him to start.

"Good morning." Shoto said.

She smiled and looked over at him. "Good morning, Shoto. I'm way too sleepy for this." She whined.

She wasn't paying attention and a softball zoomed by her face as it was caught by Bakugo. Aizawa offered for him to throw it again just like back in the fitness test. Mizuko smirked to herself remembering how she beat his record then. Bakugo then scoffed at this training attempt as walked in the front of the class.

"Go Bakugo!" Kirishima cheered his friend

He planted his feet and pulled back his arm, "I've got this, now go to hell!!" He threw the ball while using his explosion quirk to catapult it even further. 

Mizuko shielded her eyes from the orange blast as they hadn't adjusted yet this early. "Wow you could probably throw this a mile!" She heard Sero cheer.

Mizuko was trying to see where it landed but couldn't.

"You were at 705.2 meters before. Now only 709.6." Aizawa held up his tracker.

Bakugo looked like he was about to blow as Sero teased him about being a disappointment.

"This is why your training will mainly be on your quirk development. You've all improved but that's mainly to your mental prowess and technical ability. You've improved in many ways but not your quirk- not on a fundamental level. Your quirks haven't really grown that much. We will focus on improving your powers.. this will be so hard you will feel like dying- let's hope you all survive" Aizawa had a sinister smile on his face.

That declaration made Mizuko wake up like she had drank five cups of coffee. Sure, she wanted to improve but Aizawa made it sound scary. She looked at Shoto and he didn't seem affected. She wished she could be as calm as him sometimes.

Pixie Bob then arrived. She pointed at Mizuko.

"You, my pretty little kitten! I made something super special just for you!" She latched her paw onto her and dragged her away. She mouthed 'help' to Shoto as he had a slight smile on his face watching her flail.

Pixie Bob dragged her away to a secluded area of the forest. She looked down and saw there was a large crater in the soil that was about 30 feet deep and a mile wide.

"What is this?" She asked her.

Pixie Bob giggled and pointed down to the crater. "I made this special just for you! Eraser Head told me you can create oceans but your drawback is you get dehydrated! Well let's lengthen the time it takes you to get dehydrated- no villain will wait for your water break! Your job is to fill this crater with your quirk without needing to drink water!" She flashed a smile.

Mizuko deadpanned. "Aizawa and you guys really are trying to kill me. Aren't you?" She sulked.

Pixie Bob then threw her a water bottle. "Only use this if you need to."

****

Mizuko was exhausted as she was gulping down the water Pixie Bob threw her earlier. She was frustrated with herself. She filled 3/4 of the crater before she caved and took the smallest sip of the water. She wanted to pass her training with flying colors but she also didn't want to be passed out on the ground.

She finally arrived to the outdoor eating area where everyone else was. Ragdoll finally made her appearance. "Now it's your time to make the food! You all look so exhausted but you can't make ugly cat food!" She laughed in their misery. Mizuko was quickly getting tired of all the cat puns.
