The Unlikely Trio.
〰️➿〰️

A security guard heard a loud noise and a tremor coming from the old abandoned hangar out of the office's grounds. They told him the hangar wasn't part of his responsibility, but he wanted to check it anyway, so he went toward the structure. The noises became louder as he approached and he feared a villain could be hiding in there so he took off his radio and spoke in a low voice:

"Sakamoto... Sakamoto? SAKAMOTO GODDAMNIT."
"Yo."
"Don't 'yo' me, what were you doing? Actually, nevermind. Listen, I heard something inside the old hangar, I'm going to check it."
"Ok, but why? Aren't you supposed to guard the office only? You're going out of your way on your first week?"
"Just call the cops if I don't answer in a few minutes ok?"
"Whatever you say, Tanaka."

He walked slowly and heard the loud noise again, like if someone exploded a bomb on the ground, making it slightly shake. He took a deep breath before tilting his head to look inside. Two teenagers were fighting each other inside the hangar, one of them with a giant black... Bird, trying to crush the other boy who moved faster than your average person, with strange steps like he had a movement enhancement or speed quirk. Something about the way he moved reminded Tanaka what an assassin looked like, from the movies. The abandoned hangar once was part of a giant airport, but after renovation, the runway and most of the hangars were destroyed and houses were built all over the place, but this hangar stayed as a deposit and now was empty and abandoned. He didn't want to meddle in their fight since he didn't have a quirk and wasn't a real authority, but he noticed that wasn't a real fight since one of them was dodging and the other was standing still while his... Bird was attacking, it looked like they were training.

Midoriya was dashing around the place, dodging everything Dark Shadow was throwing at him and predicting his attacks that usually left a hole on the ground. He tried to push his concentration to the maximum by dodging everything, from punches to flying debris, while also attacking here and there. After Dark Shadow delivered a right uppercut followed by a left claw swing, Midoriya backflipped from the uppercut and dashed forward, sliding past between the claws, stopping below him and predicting his next attack, dodged to his left with a pirouette, while Dark Shadow spun and struck the place he just stood, sending dust everywhere, Tokoyami noticed his eyes glowing inside the dust and tried to react in time, but it was too late. Midoriya concentrated and looked straight at Tokoyami's eyes while whispering:
"Moonlight."
Dark Shadow started to return to his master and a few seconds later disappeared while Tokoyami was on his knees breathing heavily. Midoriya ran to help him up while turning his power off.

"Are you good Yami? Sorry... I was concentrating too hard."
"It doesn't matter how many times you use this on me, I cannot get used to it."
He said while brushing the dust off and shaking his head.
"How much longer do you think it will take Midoriya, we're running out of time and options here."
"I know I know, the time limit I stipulated is almost up. Three weeks to the exams and I'm stuck at two Tomoes, it's pathetic."
Tokoyami frowned.
"You must be joking, right? I wouldn't go that far... You move too fast despite not having a movement-based quirk, nothing can touch you and if someone looks directly into your eyes they're gone. The moment you manage to master the lightning technique that I cannot record the name, you may become unstoppable."
"You mean the Lightning Enhancement?"
"That thing could cut through a tank, it's remarkable."
"You're really going to speak like this even when there's just the two of us Yami? You do realize it's kind of annoying right?"
"I already told you my reasons."
That was all he said and Midoriya shrugged:
"Maybe you should let it go and be yourself."
"You may think that I'm becoming someone else, but this is who I am, I won't pretend anymore as I did before."
