"Alrighty then.. Let's open our Theorem to the creation of Productive Teamwork form Rag Tag Groups once again to page 3 shall we..?"
Narina looked up at Bakugo, who continued to stare grumpily into space, his book unopened on the desk.
They were in the empty 1 A classroom after school, doing one of his now required private tutoring sessions with Narina.
Narina personally felt Bakugo to be the last person she'd want to tutor.. but she also realized out of everyone, due to his tremendously hot temper, and loner type attitude, he probably needed it the most.
As much as he acted like a ginormous jerk, Narina had the feeling that he inherently wasn't a bad person... he was just insecure and he didn't like to admit it.. Narina had met enough of those people before after starting basic training at her job to know when she saw another.
The whole Black Ops hero business was filled with people trying to hide their insecurities by looking tough.
Of course though.. some of that toughness in Bakugo's case was genuine.. but it was combined with jealousy for somebody.. and she had a sneaking suspicion who it was..
"Hey! Earth to Baka-Go." said Narina, knowing the name would get his attention. "We can get started on this, or we can be here for 3 more hours than we're supposed to trying to get you to learn something out of this.."
Bakugo glared at Narina. "Don't call me that.. I'll kill you!"
"Okay.. here it is again.. the whole 'i'll kill you thing'. I know you don't really want to go killing civilians or other heroes.. like really, really. but just blatantly saying that every time you get mad is going to make the public distrust you." Narina said. "And if that happens, you'll never get far in the hero business.. "
"HA! As if that makes a hero!" Bakugo snapped.
"On the contrary.. that's pretty much fifty percent of heroism!" said Narina. "The costumes, the heroic dialogue, the capes! Why do you think we all wear that goofy spandex? Human beings like to cling onto figures to worship, that's how the concept of Super Hero first emerged in comic books.. the flashiness endears us to the audience.. the people we're trying to protect, and gives them a sense of security! Never fear! That very awesome looking guy with a cape is here! He looks cool!! Surely we're safe now!"
Narina tapped her head with a finger. "Heroism is half super powers, and half public endearment. And if you can't handle one of those, then you're going to have to grit your teeth and deal with it.. like me.."
Bakugo stared at Narina. "What? You control your powers just fine.. "
"Not my powers Baka-go!" said Narina. "I.. like you.. have the most trouble with the public fame aspect of heroism. Let's just say these powers weren't ACTUALLY the ones I pictured myself having.. the fact that every time I go full strength i look like a part dragon armored stripper.. or that I am now pasted on Darumaka Body Pillows, posing with boobs bigger than my actual size.. "
"Oh.." Bakugo said.
"Oh is right." said Narina. "i HATE this kind of fame.. yet I deal with it because it puts citizens at ease when I arrive at a crime scene or a battle area, so I don't deal with even MORE problems when I'm doing something like evacuation. Bakugo.. if you don't take care of your public image or your potential public image.. you'll end up making things WORSE every time you go fight a villain.. and people WILL die."
"Heroes are supposed to always win right?" Bakugo growled. "As long as I always win.. who cares!!?"
"There are VILLAINS who always win too!" Narina exclaimed
