"Powerrrrrr!!!" Mirio shouted as he quickly kicked all of the class 1-A students' asses. Now this was obviously going to happen, (Y/N) had no doubt about it. What surprised her was that Todoroki was staying out of it as well. Of course he had no real reason to though, she on the other hand was exempt from it with the thanks of Aizawa-sensei. Every once in a while she would steal a glance towards the dual colored boy, mixed feelings was the best (and possibly only way) that could describe what she felt after last night's event.

She pushed those thoughts aside as she watched all of her classmates double over in pain. She was glad that she wasn't them at the moment, but she couldn't help but pity them. Although, they needed to get stronger, a storm was brewing, she could feel it. Mainly around her cousin, something felt as though it was going to creep up on the boy, not to mention Midoriya's natural tendency to be near or at the center of these types of events as well. It was as if the universe had it out for him. She couldn't put her finger on why though.

As Mirio explained his quirk to the class, she could see Todoroki express his offense when Ashido called him a hybrid, but she couldn't help but snicker. Now she wasn't entirely wrong, but the thought of another hybrid like himself was hard to come by- after all, he was split right down the middle. It was now when she started analyzing all the other's quirks. Each one of them had (at least somewhat) useful quirks that could easily make them heroes, but this was UA, they only produced the best, and only the best passed. Then there were people with mediocre quirks, and drawbacks with drastic measures. Much like Midoriya and his bones breaking, or Mineta and his cowardice, and maybe even Sato and his crash after every sugar dose. These things were after effects that would be the difficult to get rid of. That was until she took in the fact that they could get better, after all, now Midoriya stopped breaking his bones every time he used his quirk.

Then there were those whose personality would get in the way. Bakugo and Todoroki were at the top of those lists. Yet they showed the most promise in her eyes, they had the most potential, but they also had the hardest obstacle to overcome. Their own selfishness and personal problems. After that, they would be some of the best heroes this world would see.

"Alright let's head back." Aizawa-sensei said in a bored tone as she was snapped out of her train of thought and followed him as well, staying at the back of the group so she could think to herself.

Although, there was something eating at her in the back of her mind. Something was going to happen, a storm was brewing and she would be unable to perform her job correctly. A deep feeling was stabbing her gut, one that screamed helplessness. She just didn't know what it would be from or when it would come, and that was the scariest part.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"You needed to speak with me?" The (H/C) haired girl asked as she entered the room of teachers  before her. All of their eyes were on her, almost piercing her soul as Nezu stepped up.

"Ah, yes! (L/N)-san, we have a bit of a problem... some students have signed up for the working interships..." Nezu said as she rose an eyebrow.

"How is this a bad thing..?" She asked as she subconsciously crossed her arms. Wasn't it good for the students to be gaining experience on the field?

"Because, you would be unable to be in multiple places at the same time." Aizawa spoke up as his eyes concentrated on her smaller figure.

That was when she realized he was right, she would be unable to keep track of several students in different places.

"Now- since this is quite the predicament, we decided to only allow the hero offices with better internship history to be signed up as a possible work facility for our students. Therefore, the reason for calling you here was to reassure you responsibility of these students if they were to be injured in the field." He said before the atmosphere shifted. "But, sadly that is not all we are here to talk about. With all that has been going on, we have found that the league of villains has been getting harder and harder to predict. Although, All for One may be captured, All Might is out of commission and Gran Torino and his group have requested for a little extra muscle while looking for the League's escape gate- Kurogiri. They have requested you, (L/N)-san. You will go with them when they head into the field, it will be under the rouse of an internship, but we're sure that you are more than qualified for the task."

(Y/N) let her arms fall back beside her body as she stared at Nezu for a few moments. How was she supposed to respond to this. Her job had been to guard the children, make sure that none of them were to be harmed. Yet, here they were, all of them requesting for her to not only abandon her current mission, but take on a new one with her life even more on the line. But she could see the good behind it. She could see that they could cripple the league, maybe they could take them down for good without Kurogiri, but a part of her refused the possibility. If her mission were to disappear, would they send her back? Back to a country that deemed her too dangerous? One that called her a killer.

She shook off the thought. Right now, the other students were top priority. "I'll take the job, sir."

---------------------------------------------------------------

"(F/N)-chan!" Kirishima yelled from behind her. "Guess what?! I just got word back from Tamaki-Senpia. I'm gonna be interning with Fatgum!"

(Y/N)'s eyes lit up at his sudden energetic presence. Without thinking she responded, "Really?! That's amazing Kiri-chan!" She said with an equally bright expression as her cousin.

"Yup! I'm gonna finally work as a real hero! I've got my license and everything." He said as he trailed on and (Y/N) began to tune him out a little bit.

Honestly, she didn't want him to be one of the few students who scored an internship. He might get hurt in the process, but how could she say no to him? He was just a big ball of sunshine and this was his chance to live out his dream, the dream that they both shared. And there was no way she would take that opportunity away from him.

She flashed him a large smile in return to his excited rambling. Soon the other boys filled the living room, Sero, Kaminari, and last but not least Bakugo.

Each of them took a seat around the living room sofas and began idle chatter.

They talked about video games, memes, and eventually it drifted to Kirishima's internship. She bit her lip as he talked about how he wasn't as strong as the others, how he had planned on not even applying to UA in the first place.

Just as she was about to express her distress about such things, Bakugo beat her too it.

"Stop being stupid," he said calmly. "You don't have to be clever or have a plan, just keep going straight through and kick ass. As long as your resolve is unmoving, you'll be unbreakable."

Her eyes widened, mouth slightly ajar, but it turned into a sweet smile. Even if Bakugo didn't admit it, he was watching over Kirishima and looking out for him. After all they were friends, and this warmed her heart. Maybe she didn't have to worry so much about Kirishima after all.

While everyone around applauded Bakugo for his harsh yet inspirational words, eventually they turned back to their own chatter. (Y/N) turned to Bakugo and when no one was aware, their eyes met and she gave a smile.

"Thank you." She said simply, receiving a nod in reply. She then stood up and said their good nights to each other, it was getting late and her own 'internship' would start a little later than Kirishima's would.

As she entered her room, she walked straight to the balcony to think, she opened the sliding door and leaned against the railing. She was on the other side of the dorm, but she could clearly hear Bakugo and Kirishima talking.

Their words were muffled but she could hear Kirishima's distinct laughter and Bakugo's unmistakable yelling. When the time came, she would love to be closer with these two. When she didn't have to hide so many things from the people she cared about.
