Midori The Rabbit

Usagi?!

Izumi sighed deeply as she exited the school. Recovery girl had repaired her injured finger, but it had left her feeling sluggish and tired. This was only the first day, and already she was feeling the huge gap between her abilities and the other students. She'd ended up on the bottom of the test, and had been both shocked and relieved that Aizawa's "last place will be expelled" was a ruse to have people stretch their limitations on their quirks.

"That was too close. I can't keep going like this. I need to improve." She looked down at her bandaged fingers with a scowl. "Right now the biggest priority is controlling my quirk... after that-"

"Midoriya-chan!" Izumi jumped at the sudden call of her name and turned to see Iida rushing up to walk beside her. She offered him a smile.

"Hello again, Iida-kun."

"How is your finger?" He asked with some concern.

"Much better now," she held up the bandaged appendage. "Recovery girl healed it rather quickly."

"That's good, will you allow me to walk home with you?" He bowed a little in respect. Izumi had never met someone so formal and polite. Her smile brightened and she nodded.

"Sure, I'd like that."

"Hey you two! Wait for me!" Uraraka hurried to catch up to them. Izumi turned to fully face her and offer the same bright smile she gave Iida.

"You're the infinity girl."

'Yep, my name is Ochaco Uraraka." She introduced herself. "You're Iida Tenya.. And-" Uraraka faced Izumi fully trying to remember correctly. "Usagi Midori-chan?"

Izumi felt her face fall and she tried to laugh it off. 

"Izumi... Izumi Midoriya."

"Oh... but that Bakugo guy called you Usagi."

"That's just what he calls me. We're childhood friends, you see. I guess you could say it's his nickname for me, because I've always been timid and until recently I wasn't really all that strong." She held up her injured hand. 

"Is it a nickname or an insult?" Iida wondered.

"My vote is for nickname. Rabbits are cute, and fluffy. I like it... but if you want I can just call you Midori-chan instead." Uraraka offered and had Izumi's face lighting up.

"Yes, I'd like that. All... uh I mean one of the teachers calls me Little Midori so Midori-chan is good!" Izumi declared happily. "Ah, you can call me Midori too, Iida-kun."

"I'm honored... but I think I'd be more comfortable using your proper name, Midoriya."

"That's okay too." She looked back to Uraraka fidgeting nervously. She'd never really had any girl friends before and hoped she wasn't overstepping her boundaries. "Uraraka-san... um... c-c-can I call you Ura-chan?" 

"That's cute! I'd love it, Midori-chan!"  Uraraka beamed and had Izumi flustering with joy. The two girls smiled and quickly fell into step with each other. Iida walked beside them with an easy smile.

As they walked Izumi took in what had just happened, She stood in the middle of her two classmates, and realized she'd just made her first friends at U.A. and she couldn't wait to get to know the rest of her classmates.

~Later that night~

Izumi sat at her desk going over the curriculum that would be taken over the course of the semester. Most of the classes were normal studies such as English, Math, and science... but each of the courses had their own special class that defined each genre. For the hero course, it would be Hero Basic Training... and Izumi hoped All Might would be in charge of that class.
