My Hero Academia Symbol of Hope (DC x MHA)

A quick visit to Ua

The morning sun streamed through the windows as Kai, Melissa, and Eri busied themselves with final preparations for their visit to U.A. High School. Eri was seated on the living room floor, carefully placing items into her small backpack—her favorite snacks, a notebook, and her trusty stuffed plush of Kai in his Superman costume. She hugged the plush tightly as she worked, the corners of her mouth lifting into a shy smile.

Kai knelt beside her, helping organize the bag. His eyes softened as he glanced at the plush. "Still holding onto that little guy, huh?" he teased gently.

Eri nodded, her voice quiet but confident. "He makes me feel safe."

Kai ruffled her white hair affectionately. "Well, you've got the real deal with you today, too. Don't worry—Melissa and I will be with you the whole time."

Melissa entered the room, checking her communicator to ensure they were on schedule. "Are we all set?" she asked, looking over at Eri's packed bag.

Kai zipped up the backpack and handed it to Eri. "Almost. We're taking a slightly different route today." He grinned, his eyes twinkling with excitement. "Eri, how do you feel about flying to U.A.?"

Eri's red eyes widened, and she hugged her plush tighter. "Flying? Like... how you do?"

Kai nodded. "Exactly. It'll be fun! And it's the fastest way to get there. You'll be safe in my arms."

Eri glanced at Melissa, who offered her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Eri. Kai's got us covered. I've flown with him plenty of times—it's amazing."

After a moment's hesitation, Eri nodded, her curiosity outweighing her nerves. "Okay."

"That's my brave girl," Kai said, standing and gesturing toward the rooftop access. "Let's go."

The trio made their way to the roof of their building. The city stretched out around them, the morning air crisp and invigorating. Kai activated his wristband, and his black-and-white Superman suit materialized around him with a soft hum of nanotechnology. He turned to Melissa and Eri with a confident smile.

"Alright, Melissa, you hold on to me by the neck, and I'll carry Eri in one arm," Kai instructed.

Melissa nodded, stepping forward and wrapping her arms securely around Kai's neck. "Got it. Ready when you are."

Kai then crouched down to pick up Eri. She hesitated for a moment but let him lift her, her small arms wrapping around his neck tightly as she clutched her plush in one hand. "You're safe with me," Kai said gently, giving her an encouraging smile.

With Melissa securely in place and Eri nestled in his other arm, Kai stepped to the edge of the rooftop. "Hold on tight, you two," he said, glancing back to make sure they were ready.

Melissa grinned. "We've got this."

Eri, her eyes wide but filled with awe, nodded. "I'm ready."

Kai crouched slightly, then launched into the sky with a powerful burst of energy. The wind rushed past them as they ascended, the city quickly shrinking below. Eri's grip on him tightened, but after a few moments, she peeked out from his shoulder, her mouth forming a small "wow" as she gazed at the sprawling landscape below.

"See? Not so bad, huh?" Kai said, smiling as he glanced at her.

Eri nodded slowly, her fear giving way to wonder. "It's... really pretty."

Melissa chuckled. "Told you it'd be amazing."

Kai adjusted their flight path, angling toward U.A. "Alright, next stop: U.A. High School. Hang on, Eri—we're almost there."
