Midori The Rabbit

Search and Rescue

~Outside~

The class objective was costume optional. So with her own costume still being altered from damages Izumi pulled out her P.E clothes and just added gloves, pads, and her mouth guard. The combination didn't look bad but she found she missed having her trademark look. She hoped the support course at least followed her design wishes this time.

"It's really a shame," Uraraka commented tugging on Izumi's braided hair. "I miss the rabbit ears."

"Ura-chan!" Izumi blushed. "They're not rabbit ears, they're... mmmph never mind." God how could she tell them she'd modeled her costume after All Might? She'd probably get hell for it. She had to get past this fan girl phase of her life and concentrate on her own image. That image seemed to be a rabbit.

Her eyes spotted Todoroki when he sat down and waited for the bus to arrive. His words about her nickname came to mind and she had to smile. Lucky rather than shy, swift rather than afraid, smart instead of weak. It was these changes she would apply to that image everyone perceived. That along with her continued training for control

When they boarded the bus Izumi immediately sat down and was followed by Tsuyu and Kirishima. Bakugo grunted at being forced to sit away from her, and begrudgingly walked to a window seat and slumped down. He eyed Todoroki with disdain, their conversation from earlier causing his temper to spike whenever he looked at his stupid face. He'd have to warn Usagi away from him, and stake his territory.

The bus ride to their location wasn't very long, but the effort it would take to group a large amount of kids across the campus grounds would take a considerable amount of time for just one lesson. So a bus seemed to be the best solution all around. Still in only those few minutes of driving, the group seemed to find things to talk about.

"Midoriya-chan," Tsuyu turned in her seat to face her. Izumi blinked and offered a polite and shy smile.

"Yes, Asui-san?"

"You can call me Tsuyu. Your quirk is a lot like All Might's, isn't it?"

"You really think so?" Though panic tripped her up, Izumi played with the end of her braid hoping it would seem like she was more flattered than nervous. "I do admire him, so it's nice of you to say."

"And anyway, Tsuyu-chan, All Might doesn't break his limbs when he uses his power. They just look the same." Kirishima put in and had Izumi letting out a quick sigh of relief. Though Todoroki pretended indifference, his ears listened in on the conversation. He had noticed the similarities between Midoriya and All Might himself, and wondered if there was a deeper connection.

"I like your quirk, Kirishima-kun." Izumi flowed into the conversation now, reaching out and touching the hardened skin along Kirishima's palm. "It's a strong and powerful quirk, and very pro hero worthy."

"Pro huh?" He grinned and blushed from the touch. He could feel the daggers in his back from Bakugo's warning glare and quickly yanked his hand back. "Uh, still a hero needs to stand out. In terms of flash no one could beat Bakugo and Todoroki out."

"True enough," Izumi admitted eyeing the two boys in question. 

"Bakugo's always mad so it doesn't seem like he'd be popular." Tsuyu said openly. Izumi tensed up, and oggled at how bold her statement was. Bakugo immediately prickled and shouted at her in response.

"What the hell? You trying to pick a fight, frog face?!"

"You see?" Tsuyu mused pointing in his direction.

"We haven't known each other long, so it's amazing that everyone knows you've got a crap attitude steeped in sewage." Kaminari teased. 

"What the fuck is with that vocabulary, you fucking piss me off!" Bakugo jumped on the railing ready to bounce and beat the crap out of the next person who mouthed off. Izumi looked on wide eyed at the situation. Bakugo had always been so popular in middle school, so to see him being teased and poked fun at was amazing to her. She couldn't help it, she snorted out a little laugh. Only in U.A ,she thought, could people get away with teasing an explosive personality like Bakugo.
