"It's Captain America!" Deku fanboys. I've heard of him before, he was able to fight against Logan.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Kinney," Steve smiled at me.

I nodded and bowed. "It's nice to meet you too."

"Now, everyone. Take this as a demonstration." Aizawa says to the students.

"You're making them fight right now?!" The students all shouted in shock.

"You must restrain me if you want to pass, Laura," Steve said to me. "Now get ready." He gets in a stance with his shield.

I let my claws out and charged at him. His shield is made of vibranium, so cutting it won't help. I start slashing at him as he blocks it with his shield. But it's a good distraction. It didn't help. He hit his shield at me, causing me to be pushed back a couple of feet. I need to try and restrain him, but how?

"Aim for the legs," says Matt in my head. "Having them off balance leaves them with many openings."

I ran towards him again, I raised my fist, making him think I was gonna punch him but ended up kicking him in his knee. I got him off balance and punched him in the face. He chuckled. "Good punch," he punched me back, causing me to go flying. I land on the ground right in front of my classmates. "But you need to have me restrained." I got back up, getting back into my fighting stance. I start remembering Matt's words.

"Someday, you'll meet someone who's way outta your league," Matt says in a flashback. "And you'll have no choice but to let the devil out. Hit em good. Hit em hard."

I raised my fists and had my claws retract back into my knuckles. I charge towards Captain America and swung kick his shield out of the way then starts pummeling at his stomach. I then went in for the uppercut before german suplexing him onto the ground. I made sure to make him face stomach first on the ground before getting on top of him and pointing my claws at his head.

I look at Aizawa sensei in exhaustion. "Did I pass?" I panted.

The teachers looked at me and nodded. I sigh in relief and got off of the American hero. Captain America got up and looked at me with a smile. "You did great, Laura!" He said to me with a thumbs up. I looked back at him and smiled.

"Thank you, Cap!"

Later

After hearing about Izuku and Bakugo's injuries, I've decided to come and see them. I entered the room they were in and saw them badly injured.

"Oh my god! Are you guys OK?" I asked worriedly. Izuku looks at me and chuckles softly.

"I'm fine," he answers then looks at Bakugo. "But Bakugo fell unconscious."

I look at the knocked out blonde as a sat on a chair next to his bed. "Will he be alright?" I asked Izuku.

"He'll gain consciousness at some point," Izuku shrugged. "What I'm really worried about is what he might do to me once he wakes up." He was shaking in fear as I let out a soft chuckle.

"You're really scared of him, huh," I stated as Izuku nodded in agreement.

"Well, I'm gonna go watch the others who are still taking the entrance exam," Izuku says as he walks towards the door. "Wanna come?"

I look at Bakugo who is still asleep. "Nah. I'll stay here for a while." I answered. Izuku shrugs and leaves the room. I look at my unconscious classmate.

"All Might sure is strong," I chuckled to myself. I look at Bakugo again. Something about him just interests me. Could be his quirk, could be his attitude. But it feels like it's something else.

"His hair is spiky." I rested my cheek on my hand and smiled softly. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, so I pulled it out to answer it. It was a number I didn't recognize. I thought about not answering it, but I don't wanna be called again by the same person. I answer the call and put the phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey, Laura." It was a voice I recognized. It was Robbie's. "Long time no talk... or see." He chuckles.

"R-Robbie, hey!" I greeted him through the phone line. "How've you been?"

"I'm still laying low," He answered. "What about you."

"I just passed my final exam."

"Really? That's amazing!"

"Thanks... how did you get my number?" I asked him.

"I got it from Riri," Robbie answered.

"But I never-" I start to realize Riri's capabilities with technology. "-never mind."

"So, I was wondering if maybe you wanna hang out today. Just the two of us." He suggested. When he said that, I start to remember the time he kissed me, causing my face to blush red.

"T-Today?" I asked. "I don't think I can. My classmates plan on going to the mall."

"Oh..." Robbie sounded a little disappointed. "That's fine."

"I'm sorry. Maybe another time?"

"Sure."

"I'll see you later. Bye."

"Bye." Robbie hangs up as I sighed. I still feel the blush on my face as I shook my head to stop the blushing.

"The hell are you doing here?" I was startled by the voice and turned to see Bakugo looking at me.

"O-Oh, you're awake," I felt embarrassed.

"You didn't answer my question."

I gulped as I looked away from him. "I just thought maybe I should check on you and Izuku," I answered. "Since you both were beaten pretty badly.

"Are you undermining me?" He questioned me with a growl.

"No, no!" I stuttered a bit. "I was just worried about you guys." Bakugo made a tsk sound and looked away from me. I sighed and looked at the door.

"I guess I'll see you later," I walked towards the door. "And congrats on passing the exam," I said before leaving.
