I stood at the train station with the rest of the class. We were heading off to our internships, and I happened to have picked the same one as Shoto. I didn't think he'd pick his own father. Well, I hate Endeavour, but I picked him as well cause he's still ranked 2nd best.

"Make sure to be respectful to the heroes and make sure not to cause too much trouble," Mr. Aizawa ordered, directing it more towards the Bakusquad. "You can leave now."

As we dismissed, I spotted Iida at the corner of my eye. He looked... different, I didn't know how though.

"You ready to go?" Shoto asked, snapping me out of my trance. "Yeah!" I cheered, picking up my luggage while heading towards our train.

I should've said something to Iida then, but its too late now.

I stood beside Shoto in Endeavour's giant, empty office as his father lectured him about surpassing All Might. I had the urge to punch him in the gut but that probably wasn't a good idea.

"And for you, Miss (L/N), I chose you because your quirk is strong and well controlled. You have an incredible fighting spirit as well, especially during that match against that Bakugo boy," he stated, pulling out his chair and taking a seat.

I was flattered, to say the least. "Tha-"

"But you're too naive."

Uh, excuse me, what?! Naive? Me? Oh far from it! Plus, what did I do to make myself look naive anyway?

"The way you helped all your opponents and cheered them on in the stands. Admirable, yes, but foolish," he ranted, adjusting a photo frame on his desk. "Here, you will learn what it takes to be the best," he said, refocusing his eyes on me, practically burning a hole through my skull.

"Yes, sir," I replied, hiding my ever growing hatred for the man.

"Good. Now, you and my son will be working together these next few days, since I know that you two have been talking for quite some years now."

Wait, he knew?! Shoto must have been equally surprised as his usually half-lidded eyes grew large in shock.

"How?! I didn't even tell you!" He exclaimed, taking a step forward. "Shoto! Lower your voice, boy. Yes, I knew, but it was for your own good. You could have been talking to a villain for all I know," he stated calmly. I swear he was only acting that way cause I was there.

Shoto's fingers curled up into fists as they trembled with rage. Knowing that something might go wrong, I placed a hand on his shoulder, calming him down. He took a breathe as he returned to his usual state.

"Now, get into your hero outfits. We're patrolling Hosu later. With the recent news of the Hero Killer being there, we can't pass up this opportunity to capture him," Endeavour announced, getting up from his desk and walking to the door, knocking over the photo frame he adjusted earlier.

Ah yes, The Hero Killer: Stain. He was all over the news when he injured a few heroes, one of them being Ingenium, Iida's brother. The news spread like wildfire and before we knew it, everyone was talking about it. I couldn't even imagine how hard it was on Iida, hearing everyone talk about his brother during his lowest moment.

Patrol wasn't really interesting, except for a few people who recognised us, but Endeavour wouldn't allow us to sign anything. Asshole.

That's when we heard it. Screams filled the air as an explosion lit up the evening sky. A silhouette flew around the wreckage, observing it's masterpiece, before turning it's attention towards pedestrians.

Light gathered in my palms as I aimed my shots at it only to be held back by Endeavour saying that I didn't have my license yet and that I couldn't use my quirk to harm. I sighed as I lowered my arms, following as the group charged towards the crime.

*PING*

Both Shoto and I glanced at our phones. My eyes widened as looked at Izuku's message. It was just his location. What's he doing in an alleyway. He'd never send cryptic messages, unless...

I glanced up at Shoto as he did the same. We both knew something was wrong as we turned and ran the other way. "HEY! Where do you think you're going!" Endeavour called after us.

As I kept running, Shoto told Endeavour to tell other pros to go to that location. Soon enough, he caught up to me as we neared the alleyway. We slowed to a walk, trying not to make any sound. We turned the corner only to find Iida laying on the ground, an injured pro, and Izuku fighting...Stain?!

I fired a shot at a nearby wall to distract the hero killer while Shoto used his flames.

"Oh great, two more fakes to deal with," Stain complained while unsheathing another blade. Shoto created an ice wall between us and the killer, giving Izuku and Iida a few moments to explain themselves.

Blades cut through the ice as Stain got back in action. We fought with everything we had but we got hurt anyway. We found out that his quirk allowed him to paralyse people, so we tried to be careful.

I was reckless though. I tried to dodge an attack but ended up getting a huge gash across my right shoulder. Fortunately, Izuku kicked away the blade before Stain could lick it.

"Thanks Izuku!" I managed to say as I held onto my injury, falling back to where Iida was. I was losing blood as well as light, the only thing producing light was a dim lamppost. "You...don't have to...do this, (L/N)," Iida choked, pleading for me to stop.

"No! I can't let my friend get killed because I ran like a coward. I'm gonna fight, and nothing's stopping me," I exclaimed, getting back up and firing another shot, hitting Stain in the head, stunning him and letting Izuku have an opening to attack.

I was about to charge back in, but I guess the universe had other plans.
