Chapter ten: Eri and a fight

"So, how was it?" Izumi asked with a glint in her eyes.

"How was what?" Kirishima looked confused.

"You're date, duh!" She said.

"Not so loud!" Kirishima covered her mouth. "And it wasn't a date. It was an apology."

"Sure." She muttered through the hand before it was removed. "But you're still gonna give me the details."

"Or what?"

"I could tell the whole class."

"Fine! We didn't do a whole lot. We went to a new café that had opened up recently had a nice lunch went to the park and just talked."

"And what did you talk about? You did tell him about the,"

"NO! Of course not! I don't want Mr. Stark to erase my brain." He said. "We talked about our future plans that kind of stuff."

"Yeah, this is sounding like a first date to me." Izumi stated as Kirishima groaned hiding his face in his hands. "Come on, it's clear you like him more than him as your Senpia."

"W—Well is it that obvious?"

"To girls? Yes." Izumi giggled. "And if you do want to be in a relationship with him, I'd let him make the first move."

"Given his anxiety that be a good idea." Kirishima. "Can't believe I'm going through this again."

"Again?" Izumi asked. "Past relationship gone south?"

"More like I was too afraid to say anything and missed my chance."

Izumi and Mirio arrived at Might Tower to continue their work study. Izumi still hadn't figured out what Infinity was trying to tell her but the sensation she felt from Infinity grew as she stood listening to her biological uncle explain today's plans. Her and Mirio where going on patrol while Nighteye and his comrade Bubble Girl went on patrol in a different section of the city.

"So, did your internship teach you any of the basics?" Mirio asked as the walked down the street.

"They didn't have time due to the Nomu rampage." She answered. "That and I was looking for my classmate who went after the Hero Killer."

"So that's why you fought him?"

"Yeah. You see my classmate's brother had barely survived against the Hero Killer and he wanted get vengeance for his brother."

"He's lucky you went after him when you did." Mirio said.

"Yeah I knew something was wrong with him and when I heard disappeared, I went looking for him instantly." She explained. "Isn't that right Goose?"

"Meow!" Goose walked beside her

"Does he always follow you around?" Mirio asked. Every time he had seen her since their first teaming, he had always seen Goose with her.

"Yep. My Aunt Carol gave him to me sometime after I was adopted." She said.

"He's adorable. I wish I had a furry companion like that." Mirio said. Goose jumped up onto Mirio's shoulder and rubbed his head into the side of the boy's head. "He likes me!" Mirio beamed touched and nuzzled Goose back. Izumi giggled at the two as they passed and alleyway. Izumi stopped hearing the patter of bare feet along the cement. A girl about seven years old with white hair and a horn on the left side of her head came running out of the alley. She looked scared. Seeing the girl trip on her own footing Izumi rushed over and knelt down helping the girl sit up.
