twenty seven

the first day of internships approached the day after, and everyone met at the train station for a final kick off into dipping their toes into the water. unlike the class, yukiko, with her provisional license was able to wear her costume out as if she was a real hero.

her cowl resting over her shoulders and her balaclava below her chin. looking across the students in their uniforms, she couldn't help but smile.

"everyone has their costumes, right? remember, you don't have permission to wear them out in public yet, and don't lose them or anything."

"gotcha!" mina cheered, a big and hyper smile crossing her lips as she raised the briefcase above her head with her leg lifted.

Eraser Head sighed, "speak properly! it's "yes, sir," ashido."

mina, who was clearly excited, winded down and held the briefcase in her arms properly, pouting as she mumbled, "yes, sir."

the class gave a chuckle, their smiles getting wider.

"make sure to mind your manners with the other heroes during your internships." Eraser Head never missed a beat, "now get to it."

"yes, sir."

yukiko clapped gently, "tell me all about your internships, you guys!" she chuckled.

izuku stopped to call tenya back while many of the others stopped to ask yukiko questions.

"what stop would i get off on? i can't find my transfer train." momo asked softly, clearly new to the entire subway system.

yukiko turned to show her the map, pointing and explaining the transfers and the different stops. after she was sure momo had understood the directions, she sent her off.

eijirou and denki stopped in front of yukiko.

"hey, why does she get to wear her costume?" denki shouted.

eijirou talked over the other, "which ways the Fourth Kind agency!"

yukiko laughed softly, "in tokyo, eijirou." she turned to look at denki, clearly upset about her showing off her outfit, "isn't it nice? i changed the fabric."

"that doesn't answer the question!"

"what fabric?" mineta jumped in.

"i get to wear my costume because i have my provisional. i'm a halfway hero." she smiled at the student, "once you get your provisional and work in work studies, that's when the real fun begins!"

as soon as denki was settled with the answer, he walked off to shoji, who were both headed towards the same way. when the students all cleared out, yukiko and Eraser Head made way back the way they came.

yukiko pulled the balaclava over her nose and fixed it so it wasn't folded over itself.

"you're a good model for them." Eraser Head mumbled, his hands shoved in his pockets, "you don't play favorites, even if you have known midoriya and bakugo longer."

yukiko looked at him, "their parents personally asked me to watch over them. well, specifically katsuki's mom, but izuku's mom more clearly asked me to watch out for him."
