Komi didn't know how to feel. Out of her rage, Komi killed a man. He was dead, and the girl wasn't sure she felt sorry for him. It was strange. The man had no family, no other job and no known life outside of the club. The club that trafficked heteromorphs'.
Komi wasn't sure if she'd ever feel sorry for him. She felt...normal, of anything. A little shaken up, sure, but all around she felt alright.

Two day layers, when Komi was strictly put on patrol with Burnin' and Burnin' only, the first week of the Internship ended and Komi was sent back to UA to carry on with the rest of her school work. It was a bit of a stumble to juggle the hero stuff and school stuff, but she was managing so far.

"Komi!" A voiced jumped to Komi's ear as she opened the door. Unlucky for the door, she popped it off its hinge once again, but as we fumbled with the door, the voice ran up to her. "I can't believe you already have your hero debut!"

As Komi successfully joined the door back on its hinge, she turned towards Mina and Jiro. "Huh?"

"You're on the news!" Jiro nudged the girl and pulled up the article on her phone to read aloud. "Listen... '16 year old Hero, Arachne, the savior of heteromorphs-' I mean, hello? I would kill for something like this."

Funny word choice...

"And, they got your good angle too." Mina cooed as she zoomed in on the picture.

"Wait, do I have a bad angle?" Komi felt very high schoolish as she said those words.

"No, gosh no, your gorgeous, but your eyes are a little wonky and they didn't catch that here." Mina pointed out and all of a sudden, Komi went to try and fix her eyes....but...

"Are my eyes wonky?..." There seemed like their could be better topic openers.

"Shut up!" And trusty ol' Bakugo also thought so as he finally cracked and shouted out in the middle of class. He was just mad that everyone else was ahead of him and he was behind.

As Iida went on about how Komi, Uraraka, Tsu, Kirishima and Midoriya all have to still keep up with their school work, no matter the hero work the group does, Aizawa soon came in and the lessons of the day carried on. Komi could relax a little in English since it was just revision of stuff she was fluent in.
Then, after lunch came the best part of the day. Hero training.

It was nothing too major, just some simple exercises before individual or group work. The whole lesson was really just free time to work on quirks. Komi had missed this part of UA. She liked -really liked working on her quirk and making it stronger. It was just fun to use, and she couldn't really explain it by further than that. She just liked her quirk...and that thought just made her smile.

"AP Shot!" 
Two reasons on why that yell sounded familiar. One being that it was from Bakugo and his natural language was yelling so it was easy to tell where it was. The second reason on why it sounded familiar was because of the fact that Komi had remembered saying those words to him some time ago.

Finding where the boy was, Komi watched as Bakugo set off rounds of small, more precise explosions to a certain target. Placing her hand on her hip, Komi watched in a...smug way? Would that be accurate?

Somehow, Bakugo was still blind to the fact that Komi was practically just behind him. If he really looked hard enough, then he could see her out of the corner of his eye, however, he was far too focused on getting the explosions to where he wanted them to go.
Which, just left Komi to...look at him.

And gosh, did she feel like a man looking at a woman's ankle's for the first time.

Furrowing her eyebrows, Komi never really noticed how the muscles on his back would move as he used his quirk. Then again, she's never really looked out for it before. What she did know, was how tight his Hero Costume was, given she had to wear it once. So every muscle movement was easily seen by Komi, and it was even highlighted at time when the blast of his quirk lit up the space around him.
Komi said it once, and she'll say it again, Bakugo had a nice back...
