"I think it'd be best if you and I just watch as of now..." (Y/N) murmured after finding composure within her, watching the blonde nod in agreement as they both pulled away from each other.

"Do you hear those comments a lot, (Y/N)?" Toshinori asked the woman, referring to the rude hero who had said something earlier regarding her attempt to help the other pro heroes fighting the villain. The art teacher nodded grudgingly, a quick sour expression slipping through her as she recollected on the times where she was dismissed by others as a hero.

"If it's not my particular quirk, then it's my appearance..." she mumbled, referring to her civilian clothing, as the blonde nodded slowly.

"I've noticed that you've never been in your hero suit before since I've known you. Why is that?" the retired hero asked as (Y/N) sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"I had a hero suit in America which was basically a bathing suit. When I moved to Japan and was registered here, the committee at the Pro Heroes Association suggested that I do my hero work essentially incognito. This would make it harder for villains to identify me as a hero so I can blend into the crowd." the woman explained, as Toshinori hummed.

"I had overheard the PHA talking about using a new system like that. It must be fairly new." he replied, as (Y/N) dug her hand into her pocket.

Reaching for her phone, the (h/c) haired woman began to search for a live news feed that would most likely be following the villain on his riot through the city. She wanted to know where exactly this man was going since her home wasn't far from Mr. Davis' cafe and the sight of the villains destruction.

The woman looked up from her device, seeing frazzled police attempting to herd nosey citizens and trying to find the injured.

"Come on Toshi," (Y/N) said as she poked his arm. He turned to look down at her.

"There are other ways we can help." the (h/c) haired woman smiled as she walked ahead of the older man, moving toward the police.

"Toshi, you can see if there are any injured you can help while I give a statement to police." (Y/N) jogged toward two talking officers as the blonde turned the opposite direction toward the demolished building. There, Toshinori could see citizens sitting on the side of the road, from what he could see thankfully no one was terribly injured from the attack. Walking forward to the group of injured, he opened his arms out gently toward them.

"Are you folks alright? Paramedics should be on the way to assist you." the blonde watched as citizens faces perked up immediately at his presence. A man who was holding his injured arm stood up from his seated position, stepping closer to the retired hero with a bright smile.

"A-All Might! It's really you!" he gasped aloud, causing a slight commotion amongst the crowd of people.

"The Symbol of Peace is here!" a voice called out, Toshinori watching wearily as the crowd began to shuffle closer to him.

"Even in retirement, All Might is here to support us!" another voice beamed, making the retired hero smile softly.

"Y-Yes, I just had passed by and wanted to see if everyone was okay!" he said shakily, the crowd now growing a little too close for comfort.

Toshinori really wished it was (Y/N) who had checked on the citizens while he talked to police as he felt his personal bubble popping.

(Y/N) had just finished giving a report to police, the sergeant on scene writing down the information on his notepad carefully.
"Thank you Mighty Marina for all your help," the policeman bowed gratefully toward the woman, causing the other two officers behind him to follow. The hero smiled awkwardly, watching silently before the officer raised himself up once more, pointing a thumb behind his back.
