"Of course I won't let a villain defeat me. You and I have been training together." I said, a bit muffled.
"Didn't I tell you not to speak?!" He tightened his grip around me and I squirmed. "Stupid woman. Don't do that again."
Slowly, I snaked my arms around his neck, hugging him back. "Bakugou?"
He didn't say anything, but I continued to speak.
"Do you think I'll become a real hero?" He backed away, cupping my cheeks with one hand. "What the hell are you on about?" I blushed. He didn't have to be so harsh about it. If he wanted to say no, he could've been gentler.
"You're already a real hero, you moron. You saved those people, fully knowing what you were getting yourself into. You've done that in the past, too. Stop being dumb." I bundled a bunch of Bakugou's loose shirt and hugged him tighter.
"Thank you, Bakugou."
"Yeah, yeah. You talk so damn much it's starting yo irritate me. Now, be quiet so I can relax." He lays his head on top of mine, taking a deep breath in.

"No! Pro hero Ground Zero would not like to sign a contract with you. If you don't stop calling this number, I will-"
Bakugou grabs the phone away from me, taking me by surprise. I sat there and watched his angry eyes.
"Listen here, you fucking dickhead! I know you've been calling. I don't give a fuck about your stupid ass company! I will hunt you down and I will burn you!" He slams the phone on the machine and stomps back into his office.
Everyone was so used to it, they didn't even flinch when he shouted. I sighed into my chair.
"That's not very heroic, Mr. Ground Zero," I said, smiling at him. He rolls his eyes and closes his door, mumbling something on the way in.
Akari and Hinata made their way towards me with a full grin. I immediately remembered what happened a few hours before I encountered Dabi. I bowed my head.
"Listen, Hinata. I wanted to get you food, but there was a villain and-"
"Are you kidding me, Imara?! You were so cool! Your video is trending on the internet and people are saying how awesome you looked!"
I turned my head in confusion and watched as Akari took his phone out.
"What do you mean?"His thumb clicked on a link, which had millions and millions of views. I saw myself standing face to face with Dabi, who was shooting blue flames. You could also hear inaudible screaming from Dabi and I.
"This person is crazy for recording this! What if they got in danger and-"
"Shush!" Akari said as he watched the video. I saw how engrossed they were in it and I laughed. "There was nothing cool about it. I was just worried about the people inside the building." I started to type away on my computer.
Akari and Hinata leaned on my desk, wanting my attention. "You were all bruised up. Are you okay now?" I leaned in and placed my hand on their heads with a grin.
"Of course! You think I'll let one villain defeat the all and mighty Yuri Imara?" I flexed my pretend muscles and earned a laugh from the two.
"You guys better get to work. You're lucky Bakugou's in a good mood." Akari and Hinata headed back to their seats, secretly chatting. I shook my head and smiled at the two.
The phone rang again.
"Hello! This is Ground Zero's Hero Agency. What can I help you with?"
"Yuri! There's a woman going by the name of-" it was silent on the other line for a second. It was Lev who called me on my work phone. I waited, a little impatient.
