Who are the first people at an accident? 

Obviously, the heroes arrive first. They need to assess the situation, protect citizens, defeat villains. They have the most important job: keeping everybody safe and saving as many people as possible.

Second are the paramedics. They do whatever they can for the injured, being the very first medical help at the scene.

But third are the journalists. The people who report what happened, film it and inform people. They also assess the situation, they send out warnings, they fulfill their duty. It's important. Nothing close to the profession of a hero, but still, how would society work without a news system? 


Hina watched from the sidelines. That's what she's been doing all her life; stand on the side and watch others grasping opportunities, taking control of situations. The reporting crew she came with set up a camera and barely a second later, they were already live, reporting about the accident right on site. The accident in question is a derailed train, hanging halfway off a bridge. Hina had never been so close to anything like this, any public situation out of the ordinary. Seeing something like this for the first time was new. Lots of injured people, some yet to be rescued. Chaos all around them, police yelling, heroes pulling people out of the wagons... It was horrifying, but fascinating at the same time. She pulled out her camcorder, turning the camera over the whole situation to capture the horror of it all. But she couldn't help the reporters or make herself useful. She just stared. 

When she began her internship at a publicity agency, she kind of hoped she could stay in the office, fetch coffee and organize documents. She wanted to go into public relations, not journalism or reporting. But when the incident was reported, she was stuffed into the news van together with the other intern, a 20 year old boy named Taki, and sent to the site. 

Unlike Hina, he was making himself somehow useful. But she had never been good in traumatic situations. The world can be so scary. Most of the time, incidents like this happen because of villains, and there was nothing accidental about that. Crime rates just began increasing when quirks became a thing. Which is why they needed heroes in the first place to keep everything under control.

Hina wandered away from the cameras, putting her camcorder away while stepping closer to the bridge. Seeing a girl standing near the closed-off area of the bridge, she found the courage to ask her for details. "What happened?" "I-I don't know. Something or someone crashed into the train and it came off the rails. I heard the attacker isn't caught yet." An attack, not an accident. It was difficult to wrap her mind around it, that someone wanted people to die.
