23.) Goodbye Galaxy and Hello First Date

(Found the picture above and thought that's what Echo would look like as a villain.)

The internships for the students involved in the Shie Hassaikai Raid have been postponed until everyone has recovered and things go back to their normal routine. A school cultural festival has been in talks with the teachers. They're going to tell their students in a few days. Bakugo and Todoroki are almost done with their remedial course, Eri has woken up, and Mirio is able to get up to his wrist through whatever he phases through.

Currently, Hibiki is at her agency in her office, waiting for one of her first ever sidekicks to arrive for a meeting. Big things are going to change for her. This is a decision that Hibiki has been thinking about ever since the younger girl arrived.

A knock comes to the door, and Seiuna comes in, shutting the door behind her. "You asked for me?"

"I did. Come sit." Echo gestures to the chairs in front of her desk. "We need to talk."

Seiuna slowly moves to sit in one of the chairs not making a sound as she does. Echo doesn't move or say anything only staring at her. Echo really doesn't want to do this, but it's not fair to Seiuna if she waits any longer. She deserves this. It's her future. She deserves better. She can't stay here. Hibiki wrings her hands together in her lap, trying her hardest to not bite her lip as well.

"A-Am I-I in trouble?" Seiuna eventually stutters out, breaking Echo out of her trance.

It takes a few seconds before the pro responds. "No."

"Then, why... do I have an uneasy feeling in my stomach?"

"Big things are going to be changing for you, Galaxy."

"What do you mean?"

Echo is silent as she leans forward, placing her chin on her interlaced fingers that are propped up on the table with her arms. She sighs, closing her eyes. "From today on, you are no longer my sidekick."

"Wh-What?!" Seiuna shouts. "What do you mean?! I thought you said I wasn't in trouble?! I promise that whatever I did wrong I'll make up for it! Please!"

Echo smiles sadly. "Galaxy, you've been with me ever since you graduated from UA. You even interned with me your 3rd year."

"Which is a good reason why I shouldn't be leaving! You've kept me around this long?! What did I do to make you change your mind?!"

"Please, Seiuna, let me talk," Echo huffs a bit annoyed. "This is already hard enough because I'm going to really miss you." She sighs. "You're not much younger than I am. We're only six years apart. I really don't know why you chose to be a part of my agency. I'll be honest with you, I seriously don't understand why you did. Your quirk has no sort of relation to my own." She opens her eyes and stares down her sidekick. "Galaxy, if we were to truly battle... you would absolutely destroy me. Your quirk is so incredibly powerful, and you don't even know it."

"There's absolutely no way I could ever possibly beat you! Wha-What do you mean by that?"

"Remember when you wanted to learn more about your quirk, and we conducted all those tests?"

"Yes..."

"Well, there was some information that I kept from you until this time. I regret doing it, but I didn't want to put any pressure on you. But... Seiuna you're literally an actual galaxy."

Seiuna looks at her mentor confused. "I... don't understand."

"Basically you're a walking, living, breathing galaxy. You have planets, suns, moons, asteroids, and possibly actual life living on those. You don't just have portals, force fields, and energy blasts. As strange as this sounds, you might even be the answer to other dimensions or realities."
