~Emi's POV~

Toshinori was taking me with him to a big hero convention being hosted at some island resort. Many of the top heroes were being honored, there was a big press conference and other activities planned for the top heroes. Nighteye had made all the arrangements for me and even packed me a bag saying something about me not having suitable clothes.

The suitcase Nighteye had packed for me, looked expensive. I was worried the clothes inside were also expensive. I was going to feel so out of place at this event, no matter what kind of fancy attire Nighteye had found for me. I knew I didn't belong here, with the elite. I was from the slums; I didn't belong at such a nice place.

All Might looked over at me worriedly as we stepped through the lobby of our fancy hotel. The lobby could fit my family home inside of it, not once, or twice but at least four times. It was huge! Why did they need so much space?

"Emi, are you okay?" All Might asked me softly as I stared around at all the fancy lighting fixtures in awe. The giant chandelier in the lobby was bigger than All Might and probably cost more than my entire house.

"I don't feel like I belong here." I squeaked nervously. I'd been left to my own devices for the traveling attire and wore one of my floral dresses. It wasn't a fancy dress; it was pretty casual and I was sure I stood out like a sore thumb in my thrift store flower dress and thrift store strappy sandals.

"Don't worry so much, I think you do. You look nice...well you always look nice...but you look extra nice today." He smiled down at me as his cheeks turned a little pink.

"That's unacceptable, I don't want my room anywhere near that bungling obnoxious bastard!" A booming voice sounded from the front desk and I let out an involuntary squeak of terror and nearly tripped.

All Might caught me with ease and righted me. "You alright?" He looked even more worried than before.

Ever since the abduction, I was so much jumpier. I nodded and looked to the front desk to see who was causing such a ruckus. The second ranked hero, Endeavor, a large muscular giant of a man with bright red hair, flaming facial hair and piercing teal eyes was standing in his hero costume glowering down at the trembling clerk behind the desk.

"I-I'm sorry sir, the rooms are all booked because of the conference." The clerk stumbled over himself.

"Endeavor, long time no see!" All Might greeted him with a jovial smile, giving the poor trembling clerk a break.

Endeavor turned to face us, his eyes narrowing into a menacing glare. My body moved on autopilot as another squeak of terror escaped me and I cowardly fled and hid behind All Might. "All Might." His voice came out in a growl.

"It's been awhile." All Might continued in his jovial tone. I wasn't sure if he was oblivious to the fact that it appeared Endeavor despised him or if he knew that and was intentionally talking to him to annoy him. "I'd like to introduce you to my assistant, Em-...huh? Where did she g-?" He turned and spotted me cowering behind him, "ah, how did you get back there?"

Endeavor turned back around swiped his room key from the desk clerk and walked away in a huff. All Might turned back around to introduce me but he'd already stepped into the elevator and shot one last glare in our direction before the doors whooshed shut with a loud high pitched 'ding'.

"...I don't think he likes you very much..." I murmured softly.

"Hm? Why do you think that?" He asked me earnestly.
