Chapter 38

It was a quiet night so far.

After finishing up on your training for the day, Eraserhead decided to take you and Shinsou out with him on patrol for the final night of your guy's internship.

You could feel the excitement rolling off of your insomniac friend since this was their first time out on patrol, you were also overjoyed even if you had done it before.

However, as the night went on and there were no bad guys to stop, the two of you began to grow bored of night watching on top of buildings.

'I'm just glad that Aizawa's been teaching Shinsou how to use that scarf of his.' You thought as you eyed Shinsou fiddling with the very fabric of his own in his grasp.

'He hasn't really gotten the hang of it though, the most he can do as of now is use it to climb up things and maybe to make the odd lasso from time to time.' You calculated in your head.

In a way to amuse yourself, you nudged Shinsou's arm to offer him a bet.

Upon nudging said arm, Shinsou turns around to look at you with a curious but mostly bored expression.

"What?" He asks.

You point towards a building that was around 50 feet away.

"I bet Dusty that I can to that building faster than you." You mutter quietly so that Eraserhead can't hear your plan. He was currently perched upon a chimney, scoping out the area for any signs of danger so you're sure that he's too occupied to acknowledge the two of his favourite brats right now.

A smirk makes its way upon Shinsou's face as he grips onto his scarf tighter.

"You're on. You'll need to introduce Dusty to her new residence after this." He says confidently showing the excitement that he once had at the start of this disappointing outing.

"On the count of three." You say holding up three fingers, unaware of the looming figure lurking closer towards the two of you.

"One." You both take your stance.

"Two." You hold your hands out behind you whilst charging your jet boots, preparing for take-off.

"Say three, and I'm sending the two of you home instantly." Aizawa murmurs from his position, still seeming to be on the lookout but was also secretly listening in on your conversation.

You both gulp in fear and try to brush it off. You both shake as you feel his piercing glare sending dangers towards the backs of your heads.

"Ah! Free! Yes, it is so good to be free! In the fresh outdoors right Shinsou?" You shakily try to cover up as you turn towards your equally shaken up friend.

"Mhmm...love being free." He replies with fear etched in his eyes.

You both exhale in relief as Aizawa seemingly turns his attention away from the two of you and returns back to keeping surveillance elsewhere.

'That...was close.' You admit to yourself as you try and do the same.

Suddenly, you spot a dark figure in the distance behind a shop. You close your eyes and try to sense any other life forms in the area.

'It looks like there are a few others nearby, carrying...something.' You try to examine what it is that the figures are attached to.

Your eyes snap open.

'Regardless, this seems suspicious.' You realise and quietly alert the others...and by quietly you squirt a water blast into the back of their heads.
