“Mei you have 5 seconds to get downstairs before I kick your ass!” Kenji’s voice roared from the kitchen causing the houses foundation to shake with each syllable. Reluctantly Mei obeyed and stopped staring at herself in the mirror. A barely audible fine slipped from her lips as she teleported from her room to kitchen following the smell of freshly cooked breakfast.

“You feel ready for today?” a familiar voice rang.

“Of course you would eat breakfast at my house instead of you own, thanks for the heads up by the way” Mei raised an eyebrow in the direction of a smirking purple haired girl.

“You should be used to this at this point honestly, also what kind of best friend would I be if I let you go to your exam by yourself?” Sitting at the head of the table Hina shoved the remainder of her food into her mouth, as she made room for Mei’s mother to sit down. Aiko placed her hand on Hina’s shoulder, giving her a stern look which could’ve only meant she wanted her to remain seated. All while making a beeline to wrap her arms around her unsuspecting daughter.

“Angel I don’t know how many times I have to tell you that seat doesn’t belong to me, sit there if you want. As for you Mei baby, you’re going to do so well today your father would’ve been so proud of you”

It may have been 4 years since her father’s passing, but to this day hearing anything about him causes a wave of grief so deep it causes Mei’s usual mockingly playful self to drop to a calm sadness. While her father was still alive he was her best friend, dad and teacher all in one. Ever since the day she told him she wanted to be a hero he took it upon himself to train her as best he could. They would wake up each morning at 6am (no matter what time Mei went to sleep the night before) go on a run together which was followed by sparring and quirk training.

He knew Mei had a powerful quirk that could’ve been dangerous if not properly supported, at first he would make her create simple things such as hair bows and charms for her mother’s bracelet. Eventually she became able to produce other objects such as bikes, though complex objects require concentration and made Mei pass out from quirk overuse more than once. Though her favourite training was always combat because Mei knew that truly powerful heroes have to kick ass without even needing their quirk, which is why Mei had mastered multiple fighting styles just so she could have an edge no matter how much combat training her opponent has had. After training while she showered and got ready for school her dad would cook their family breakfast, then he left to go to his job as a Pro Hero. She loved her dad and he loved her.

“Well that put a massive downer on things, I for one cannot wait for you to get admitted to U.A. so I can embarrass you in front of all your friends, or completely ignore you and pretend you don’t exist. I’ll decide depending on your exam score placement” Mei’s brother winked knowing full well she was about 5 seconds away from throwing up out of sheer nervousness.

“You’re a dick you know that” She countered while jocosely kicking his leg. A deep laugh left Kenji’s lips as he pretended to limp over to a nearby chair. While straightening out white school shirt Hina grabbed Mei’s white and blue school blazer from the couch and threw it at her. Taking that as a hint that they should get going Mei said a quick goodbye to her mum and brother and left hand in hand with her best friend. Normally Mei could just teleport to U.A. but since she was trying to conserve her energy for exam, so for her and Hina there was a 15 minute train ride ahead of them, followed by a 5 minute walk to the school itself.

“I know you’re against it but I can use my quirk on you if you want” Hina offered knowing full well Mei could do with a little help easing her mind.

“Absolutely not, I refuse and if you use it on me I will turn around and go home, then blame my not getting into U.A. on you forever. Honestly I feel prepared I mean I seriously doubt there will be many students who can beat me” For the first time that day Mei spoke with the confidence she usually possesses. She knew she was a bad bitch and no one could get in the way of her achieving what she wanted. Being the No.1 Pro Hero.

“Alright alright I get it, nice to see that my cocky Mei-Bae has come back to me” Hina chuckled which earned her a dirty look. Choosing to ignore her for the rest of the journey Mei stared out the shaking train window and admired the fast-moving scenery. She always loved public transport, it gave her the opportunity to stare at a single spot and just daydream without feeling like she’s wasting precious time, not like there’s much you can really do on a train but daydream.

The train journey finished as did the walk to the school, still hand in hand Hina looked at her best friend with complete adoration as she always did “You’re gonna do great you know that right and I’ll be here waiting for you to finish”

“You don’t have to, I have no idea when this will end and for all we know I just might meet the love of my life and decide I want to run away with them. If that’s the case you might get quite cold waiting for little old me to come back” Mei delivered with a straight face.

“Ha ha very funny as if anyone apart from me is going to love your stupid ass, now go before you’re late” Hina shoved Mei closer toward the overwhelmingly giant U.A. entrance With a quick wave Mei rushed off to her assigned seat in the auditorium, which happened to be beside a short green haired boy with the most adorable set of freckles she’d ever seen. Before she could introduce herself Present Mic began yelling “Welcome to today's examination! Everyone make some noise!”

The room remained so quite that a pin drop would’ve sounded like the blades of an attack helicopter. A singular voice screamed a ‘whooo’ that caused everyone in the room to glare at Mei. Instead of being embarrassed like most might’ve been by the attention, Mei soaked in the stares and lifted her chin proudly while sending a mental message to Hina

‘The exam hasn’t even started and I’ve already got all eyes on me.’

‘Bad attention or good attention? I mean at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter because you love it

‘Number 1 that’s rude how dare you be absolutely right and 2 I don’t know Present Mic wanted us to make some noise but no one did so I thought hey why not’

‘Ah so you’re the teacher’s pet at a school you don’t even attend yet, that’s not too bad though now shut up and get back to listening’ Mei chuckled but she didn’t send a message back as she knew Hina would just yell at her to start paying attention

“I don’t know who you are but you’re my favourite student already!” Present Mic bellowed knowing full well that the black haired girl saved him from embarrassment.

He then continued on speaking about the exam but Mei couldn’t focus on that as the green haired boy started muttering something under his breath. Which in turn lead to the spikey haired Pomeranian look alike to scoff a shut up at the mutterer. “How about instead of being an asswipe and telling him to shut up you should use this as hero training and focus, because if this is too distracting you’re screwed and might as well give up now” Normally Mei wouldn’t get involved but she was feeling bad for the boy as he didn’t look like he could stand up for himself.

“What the fuck did you say you extra?!” the Pomeranian spoke up. Well this is going to be interesting Mei thought, but before she could say anything a tall blue haired glasses wearing teacher’s pet stood up and complained to Present Mic about the muttering. Which caused the trio to speechlessly stare at the boy until Present Mic finished and they were handed their arena assignments, she peered over at the boys cards only to find they were all headed for different arenas. A droplet of worry rushed over her as she was going to have to go to the actual exam by herself.

Soon everyone started leaving the hall but before the two boys could walk away Mei shouted out to them. “I’m Seki Mei by the way, but you can just call me Mei” she said with a comforting smile on her face, which seemed to reassure broccoli boy so much so that the worried look he had been wearing that whole presentation left and was replaced by a similar grin.

“I’m Midoriya Izuku and that’s Bakugou Katsuki” Midoriya exclaimed while Bakugou let out a ‘tch’ while he stomped off with his hands in his pockets. Confusion must’ve been smeared across her face as Midoriya asked her what was wrong as they stalked off in the direction of the arenas. “You knew his name, does that mean you know each other and if you do why was he being such a jackass earlier?” Mei faltered not understanding why someone could be rude to such a seemingly pure soul such as Midoriya.

“Aah yeah that’s Kacchan for you, we used to be friends but he doesn’t really like me anymore so he’s a little rough around the edges b-but overall he’s a really good guy!” the boy seemed to stutter throughout his explanation. Just as Mei was about to ask some more questions about this weird ex-friendship, Midoriya said a quick goodbye and ran off to his arena.

Strange, Mei thought but anything regarding Midoriya and Bakugou left her head as she felt someone bump into the back of her and started apologising. Mei turned to see a pink girl with yellow horns and black eyes staring at her from the floor. “Whoa dude it’s all good, are you okay? I’m Seki Mei by the way but you can just call me Mei!” Mei held out her hand and as the girl took it she gently pulled her up.

“Omg of course I’m okay, that’s so nice you care about me and I’m Ashido Mina but you can call me Mina as I know we’re going to be friends” a giggle left Mei’s lips but before she could continue chatting with her new friend Present Mic announced that the battle had already begun because heroes don’t need countdowns.

Mei ran ahead and began using her quirk to channel the energy that flowed through her body into a ball of beaming black matter around her hands and proceeded to throw it at the 3 point robots in front of her. Once the first robot fell victim to her power she began to speed up her kills using her teleportation to quickly find the robots and as she found them some were defeated by the black balls of energy. While for others she created force fields of a similar black shade, around them and proceeded to crush them into a ball as she slammed her hands together.

She was happy the other students were too busy focusing on themselves to notice her eyes going from her usual vibrant lilac to a black so deep it looks as if it sucks in all the surrounding light, because honestly she was tired of explaining her partial blindness to people.

Eventually the exam was over and Mei felt pretty good about her score, she knew she did well in her written exam, so there wasn’t a chance wouldn’t get in. “There’s my main girl, how did it go?!” Hina ran up to Mei grabbing her hands and jumping up and down like a school child, beaming at her best friend.

“Not to toot my own horn or anything but im pretty sure you’re looking at a future U.A. student” Mei sang while walking away toward the train station. As they were walking Mei caught a glimpse of a certain green haired boy walking in the very same direction trailing Bakugou, she told her friend about what happened in the auditorium. Which left Hina thinking the very same thing Mei thought.

This was the very reason why the girls had been such good friends their entire lives. While they were both confident in themselves Mei was outgoing and didn’t care about hurting anyone’s feelings, Hina was more introverted and much like her quirk preferred to comfort people. Her quirk Serene Voice allowed her to put anyone she spoke to at ease, it was the perfect quirk for her as her dream was to be a doctor, what makes a better doctor than the ability to reassure their patients that everything would be okay. “Why don’t you go up to broccoli and ask for his number so you can keep in touch” she enquired while poking her friend in the ribs.

“You my short purple haired princess are full of good ideas today, don’t get jealous when he becomes my new bestie okay?” Mei spoke just before she teleported right next to Midoriya, leaving Hina bending over in fits of laughter.

The boy jumped out of his skin but soon settled when he saw that it was just Mei, his head started running through a list of possible quirks she could’ve possessed. He only managed to think of a few before Mei asked him for his number while explaining how she thought they could be good friends and how she didn’t really want to face U.A. without a buddy at her side.

After successfully getting his number and changing his contact name from Midoriya to ‘Broccoli Baby Boii’ the girls headed out to their favourite ramen restaurant to celebrate a pretty successful day.

A few weeks went past and Mei finally got her hands on her U.A. letter, as soon as she found out it had been delivered she sent a thought to Hina because it was easier than getting her phone and Face Timing her.

‘It’s here holy shit I’m nervous.’

‘Shut up you’ve got this. Now open it there’s no point in wasting anymore time.’

A projection of All Might popped up in Mei’s face announcing that she was accepted into the Hero course with a score of 76 villain points but no hero points, placing her just behind the angry blonde. Just as Hina arrived at the house she heard Mei’s floorboards creaking as she screamed about her acceptance.

Kenji, Aiko and Hina all shared proud glances as Mei getting in wasn’t much of a surprise, as soon as the letter got posted through the mailbox Mei’s mother ordered her favourite take-away which they never ordered because it was too spicy for everyone but Mei and Hina who both shared a love for food that burns in the best way.

“There’s the woman of the hour, oh mighty Mei you’ve done it again” Kenji breathed while curtsying and pulling up the edges of his imaginary skirt. “EW since when do you call me mighty Mei, I hope this isn’t a nickname that’s going to stick because it’s actually disgusting and I might throw up” Mei said barely being able to get the words out as she was pulled into the middle of a hug that pushed all the air out of her lungs, Mei’s family burst into a fit of laughter. The next few weeks before school started were spent listening to Hina’s ramblings, Kenji’s insults and enjoying her mother’s daily family dinners.

While Mei was worried about starting a new school she knew that she wouldn’t be alone because she had the best home support a hero in training could ask for.

Just as Mei put her phone in the pocket of her joggers a sudden downpour struck, she was sure it was sunny and warm a second ago. As she looked up she saw a familiar silhouette standing a few meters in front of her with his hand raised, no doubt causing rain to fall exclusively over Mei’s head. “You know if you put that phone down earlier you would still be dry now” a smug Kenji spoke as he brought the rainfall to an end.

“And miss out on a free shower? I don’t think so, it was absolutely worth it and I’d do it again” Mei tightened her ponytail as she began stretching for her daily training session with her brother. The pair began to steadily jog along their normal 5K route, at the start of her training Mei wasn’t even able to run for 2 minutes before her lungs were on the brink of collapsing. Now a 5K felt like nothing and she hardly broke a sweat, although even if she did no one would notice as she was still drenched from Kenji’s rain. Having a brother with a water quirk wasn’t something Mei liked as it resulted in him flicking droplets of her drink at her all the time, which as it would any rational person, drove her to the brink of insanity. Mei wasn’t one to stand down from a challenge though, for every drop that fell on her she turned a piece of his furniture into jelly.

Once they finished running in a comfortable silence, each of them listening to their own music, they got a drink from the kitchen and began the second part of their training. Kenji being a 3rd year and the 4th best in the school meant that Mei always had a good coach to show her the ropes and help develop her quirk. It was always little things he tried to improve with her because Kenji knew that Mei could train by herself any time she wanted. “So since your force fields are shit today you’re going to see how much force they can withstand okay?” Kenji always had a way with words, he may be a bit of an ass but Mei knows for a fact everything he says is laced with love.

“Shit is a very strong word you know, personally I think they’re pretty good but if you think you’re better than me water boy hit me with your best sho-” before she could even finish getting her words out Kenji hit her with a torrent of water so strong that it threw her back against her house even though she managed to produce a force field no bigger than captain Americas shield. Her quirk was strong and she knew that, because she knew how powerful it could really be there was a part of her that was terrified of what she could do.

“What the fuck was that, we’re going again and you’re not going to school until you get that under control, it shouldn-“Mei threw a field around Kenji and to his surprise it was strong he tried to bash his way out of it but he couldn’t, after a while he threw this hands up in surrender due to him using up the remaining oxygen in the bubble. The sight of that brought a smile to her face that was so wide she was sure nothing could possibly ruin her day after that, so she proceeded to ask her brother “Shit yeah Kenji?”

Before releasing him from the bubble she took it upon herself to raise it a little off the ground just so he could have a slight fall, just to bruise his ego a little bit. “So why couldn’t you get that kind of shield up when I attacked first huh?” Kenji let out as he gasped for breath.

“Because you asshole I wasn’t prepared I thought we were gonna have to have a little chat and go over what’s for breakfast, not you trying to kill me at 6 in the morning!” Mei let out as she created a dense metal sphere the size of a volley ball and aimed it at his head. Kenji managed to dodge just in time before the ball dematerialized in thin air. If Kenji or Mei left another hole in the ground their mother would definitely knock the two of them out.

Kenji let out a chuckle before throwing Mei a towel and saying they can call it a day as maybe she wasn’t as bad as he thought. She took the towel and the compliment and went upstairs to shower, get dressed in her new uniform which of course came with an unnecessarily short skirt and knee high socks. After she used her quirk to put on a quick bit of makeup she teleported down to her seat at the table and ate with her family before her mother rushed off to work. Ever since her dad died her mother had been her rock, an ever present source of comfort in an ever changing life.

“You want a lift today?” Kenji asked Mei who couldn’t reply as her mouth was full of food so instead she decided to nod profusely which she hoped would get the message across. “Get off your ass we’re leaving now in that case” Mei chugged the remainder of her orange juice and ran to her brother’s car, who then speed off as soon as she stepped into the car.

After a while Kenji took his sisters hand in his own, squeezed it to remind her he’s there for her and proceeded to say “There’s no need to be nervous you know, it’s gonna be okay. You’ll make a ton of friends, you’ll kick ass and be top of your class and if anything goes wrong you come find me no matter what”

Feeling some degree of relief wash over her Mei’s heart began to return to its original pace, but she would never let that show, not even to her brother. Mei was never one to show her nerves to others, she always kept a cool calm aura because in her mind if people thought she was calm and capable she would eventually feel as though she actually was, even if her insides had turned into a million butterflies.

“I’m not nervous if that’s what you’re thinking, i know I'm going to be fine” Mei muttered while her brother laughed at her and released her hand as they turned into the school car park.

The siblings got out of the car and Kenji crossed over to his sister’s side of the car grabbed her shoulders, kissed her on top of her head (as he was 6’0 compared to her 5’5 self) and spoke “Go make me proud kiddo, I’ll see you back at home” then sped off to the group of teens known as The Big 3 who happened to be some of his best friends.

Mei turned to the front and walked to the front of the school to meet a certain green haired boy who was already waiting for her with an earth shattering grin on his face. One second she was maintaining eye contact and the next she had a face full of grey blazar as she bumped into someone. “Whoa you okay dude, I didn’t see you there” Mei said gazing up at a boy who was somewhat taller than her with purple hair that reminded her of Hina and eye bags that made it look like he hadn’t slept for years.

“I’m fine” the boy answered in a surprisingly deep voice. “Well that’s a relief, the names Seki Mei by the way but you can just call me Mei” She smiled while extending her hand out to him which he reluctantly took.

“Shinsou Hitoshi, I gotta go so I’ll see you around Mei” Shinsou replied already 5 paces away.

Before she could dwell on him leaving before they could have a proper conversation, Midoriya popped up and started spewing useless information about U.A. that Mei really didn’t care about but she wasn’t about to tell him that. By the time his rambling stopped they arrived at the 1-A classroom to discover Bakugou with his feet on his desk yelling at the blue haired boy from the exam. Mei put her hand on the guys shoulder and said “This is only the second time I’ve seen him but it seems he’s always like this, I’m Seki Mei but you can call me Mei and that ray of sunshine over there is Bakugou Katsuki apparently”

“If this is what he is always like then this year is already a lot harder and my name is Tenya Iida it’s a pleasure to meet you” He said while firmly shaking Mei’s hand while Bakugou abruptly rose from his chair, drawing all the attention on him just like the attention whore he is.

“You’re that annoying bitch from the exam don’t tell me you got into my class like shitty Deku”. His red eyes stared deep into her soul as he inched closer and closer until their foreheads were almost touching.

He was taller than her so she had to look up to meet his gaze which caused her great discomfort, but she did it anyway because taking the highroad with a rowdy guy like him was a sure fire way to become target practice forever.

Plus she wasn’t afraid of him because she knew he was all bark and no bite, and if it came to a fight quirk or no quirk she could take him out faster than he could blink.

“Um number 1 its lovely to see you too babe, 2 yes I did in fact get into this class as I placed second in the entrance exam one point less than you if I recall correctly and who the fuck is Deku” Mei retorted with an equal amount of spite in her voice when a spiky red haired boy spoke up and told Bakugou that he wasn’t being very manly, whatever that meant.

Mei however was no weakling and told the boy that she could handle herself which in the boys mind was a very manly deed, to which Bakugou only snarled like a feral dog while he continued looking straight at them. She found out that his name was Kirishima Eijirou and the two boys who stood beside him were Kaminari Denki and Hanta Sero, with a shrill shriek Mina made her entrance to the scene saying how happy she was that she and her baddie bestie Mei were in the same class together.

“It took you eight seconds to quiet down after the bell, unacceptable for those on the hero course.” Mei quietly thanked her teacher for making his way into the classroom which caused Bakugou and the others to back down and go to their seats. Aizawa continued talking and eventually sent them away to get changed and meet outside for quirk assessments. Mina strode straight up to Mei, grabbed her arm and they walked to the changing room together.

Once all the girls gathered in the changing rooms they all went around introducing themselves, they may have only met that day but they were already cracking jokes as if they have been friends for years. Mei knew for a fact that as time went past she and the girls would only grow closer as they all seemed like the most genuine people she’d ever met. She was bought out of her trance by Mina yelling “Holy shit girl you’re ripped” which was followed by Momo, Uraraka and Jiro agreeing that she probably had more muscle definition than most of the boys in her class would have.

Appearances never mattered to Mei all she cared about was a powerful body and she had just that even if she did have cellulite on her legs, she was strong,healthy and confident.

“Me and my brother train every day before school so if I didn’t look like this I would be worried about the lack of progress. Also you guys all look fantastic so if you catch me staring then that’s just your imagination” Mei retorted with a wink that sent the girls in a flurry of blushing and denial.

Out on the field Mei saw Midoriya fidgeting and decided to quietly ask “What’s up buddy?”

“I don't have much control over my quirk yet so I'm a little worried.” He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

“You’re going to be fine I promise you, it’s only the first day it’s not like Aizawa expects us to be amazing at everything, if you want I can use my quirk to help you”

‘Mei? Are you in my head? Is this your quirk? Am I going crazy?’ Midoriya started looking around the field as if he was expecting some god to fall from the sky and tell him that they in fact are the voice in his head.

‘I am in your head, yes this is part of my quirk, no you are not going crazy, also before you ask I cannot read your mind as much as I want to, I can just hear your thoughts as I set up a mind link between us, so if you want help I can help you’

‘That’s so cool! Omg I have so many questions like how far away can we be while still having a mind link?! And as much as I appreciate it I have to do this by myself’ ‘

We can discuss quirk logistics later and I don’t really know as I haven’t tested it out yet and of course babe, you’ve got this, we should probably focus before we get behind’

Instead of replying Midoriya just looked Mei straight in the eye and gave her a strong nod. By the time they focused on what was going on Bakugou had just thrown his ball 705.2m and smirked straight at Mei obviously thinking he was a big shot, oh he was not ready for what was in store for him. What Aizawa said next caused all the colour to drain out of Midoriya’s face “Whoever comes last will be expelled immediately“ Mei personally wasn’t worried at all because she knew she was stronger than most of her classmates, though she couldn’t help feel a twinge of fear for Midoriya.

First was the 50m dash for which Mei simply teleported to the end which ended up in her time showing 0.00 seconds. Might as well start off strong as Mei had no idea how useful her quirk would be for the remainder of the tests. Her score meant everyone in the class had something to say to her, most said something along the lines of ‘wow that’s so cool’ ‘is your quirk teleportation’, ‘that’s so manly’ etc. etc. the only person who didn’t seem to be up her ass was Bakugou who sent a scowl along her way. Mei brushed him off, there’s always bound to be one person who hates her no matter what she does or where she goes, turns out at U.A. that person was going to be Bakugou.

Throughout the next few tests Mei brought it upon herself to close her eyes for the split second of her quirk being activated. To say her partial blindness was annoying was an understatement. Luckily for her it didn’t last for long, for example if she were create something it only happened in the instance of her creating said object. The trouble came when she had to do something like fly because then she was suspended in air having to go off the mish-mash of colours and shapes infront of her.

Next up was grip strength, Mei could’ve taken the normal way out and not use her quirk but she used a little too much of her quirk and crushed the device. A small oops erupted from Mei as Iida was already up in Aizawa’s face telling him Mei broke the machine. Neither Aizawa nor Mei were impressed with the snitching ability of Iida, Mei was sure it would eventually grow on her but for now it was annoying as fuck. For standing long jump she imagined herself flying over the sandbox and so she did fly over with the class with her wings with them all staring at her with wide eyes. Mei was used to her powers and when she willed weird shit to happen it was normal, but she understood that for others it was weird that the laws of nature just didn’t apply to her.

There wasn’t much Mei could do for repeated side steps so she just did it the normal way without using her quirk, which ended up with her not gaining a good score.

Uraraka’s infinity ball toss mixed with the smug look on Bakugou’s face when he threw his 705.2m, lead to Mei wanting to be the extra bitch she is and wipe the smirk off his face. As Aizawa called Mei to throw she picked up the ball, levitated it in her hand for a second before letting it go. “Holy shit where did it go?” Sero exclaimed as the number on the Aizawas counter continued to rise and eventually came to a stop then Mei threw her hand straight up in the air to catch the ball as it came hurtling from the opposite direction, and slammed into her palm causing a loud sound to erupt as the two came into contact.

“39,940.653 km” Aizawa spoke with his legendary straight face, showing no signs of being impressed with the girls throw.

“Isn’t that the-“

“Circumference of the Earth? Yeah, yeah it is.” Mei said cutting Momo off mid-sentence while making her way back to the rest of the group and simultaneously throwing up her middle finger at Bakugou.

Though he would never admit it Mei could see the slight singe of shock in his eyes as he played it off with his signature ‘tch’ and narrowed his eyes to stare at the girl.

The rest of the tests were easy as hey relied on physical strength of which Mei had buckets to spare, she knew her daily training was bound to come in handy at some point. Aizawa gave the class their results which to no-one’s surprise had Mei placing first, she would be lying to herself if she said she wasn’t proud of coming first but she couldn’t let that show because of Midoriya’s placing last. Before she reached her friend to go comfort him Aizawa announced he only said what he said to bring out the best of our abilities.

For the rest of the day Mei felt eyes burning into the back of her head. In English the feeling was there, when she was eating Lunch while sitting with Midoriya and the gang, it was there. Mei knew it was the angry boom boom boy but she couldn’t be bothered to confront him, if he was that obsessed with her he could approach her. Yet before he could the school day was over and everyone in the class said their goodbyes and fucked off in the directions of their own homes, which for Mei was towards the bus station.

Mei noticed a certain scarlet eyed boy getting off at her stop and decided to approach him “You may be obsessed with me but that doesn’t mean you need to follow me home, you could talk to me and I could invite you round myself”

“The fuck did you say you flying witch bitch?! You’re the one following me” Bakugou shouted.

“Yeah you need to get over yourself I am not following you I just so happen to live in this neighbourhood as I have for the last couple of years and I’ve never seen you around here, and what the fuck is up with that nickname” Mei chuckled.

“I fucking live here too you bitch and you may have beaten me his time don’t forget I beat you in the entrance exam and I will in every other one after that!” the boy preached to the girl who was walking alongside him smiling at his words.

“Ah so that’s why you were staring at me all day, if that’s all you wanted to say then you could’ve told me right after the exam. I will hold you to that by the way, I need some competition in this class otherwise life would be too dull” Mei said while taking her phone out of her pocket and handing it to the boy.

“Why the fuck are you giving me your phone for” Bakugou questioned as he took her phone.

“Give me your number I figured we can train together since you obviously take that shit as seriously as my brother does” Mei smiled at the boy.

“I’m not giving you my stupid number and I will never train with a weak shitty witch bitch like you” He said while shoving her phone back at her.

“Fine, I’ll find some other way to get your number just to piss you the fuck off”

“Drop dead” Bakugou glared.

“Oh I wish I could but unfortunately im a god and if I die billions will too, oh and will you look at that this is my house so I’ll see you tomorrow you fuckwad” Mei approached her front door while waving and sticking up a signature middle finger in the direction of the angry boy.

Bakugou looked at the black haired girl and muttered a ‘what a weird bitch’ as he walked a further 5 minutes to his house. As he entered the door he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and what he saw next filled him with a hot rage.

“You did what?”

“Right Hina I don’t know how many times I have to say it, it’s not that big of a deal. I threw the ball all the way around the world and back into my hand” Mei sighed.

“Not a big deal is getting vanilla ice cream on a white top, but throwing a ball that far is a big fucking deal” Hina knew Mei had a stupidly powerful quirk, she’d seen it in action more times than she can count. Her favourite use of Mei’s quirk was when they were younger Mei created a secret room for her and Hina to hide in when they played hide and seek with Kenji. They never lost and to this day Kenji still has no idea where they went.

“FINE it was a big deal but can we stop talking about that now, can we talk about your school for once”

Whenever given the opportunity to talk about her school Hina wouldn’t shut up for hours talking about all the procedures and fancy doctor words she learnt about. Which is why she always let Mei talk about her issues first because she knew once she started talking about herself she just wasn’t able to stop until she ran out of tea to spill. “and yeah that’s how I managed to piss off every single teacher and TA in about 5 minutes”

“How was that your fault though, surely they should blame I don’t know, the guy who set off the sprinklers?!” Mei questioned.

“Yeah probably but I did accidentally set fire to the practice dummy, I still don’t know how though” Hina spoke as she played with her hair while the two girls waited for Mei’s mother to call them down for dinner.

Before Mei could respond the door to her room opened to reveal Kenji dressed in his pj’s despite it only being 5pm. “Din din is ready by the way”

“You still say din din at your big age? Wow and to think you’re the 4^th best at school” Mei joked as she and the gang made their way down the stairs following the smell of Udon which lead them to Aiko who sat patiently waiting for her family. They all sat down and ate together while talking about their days, sharing jokes and no family dinner would be complete without Kenji talking about the training he has planned for Mei. The rest of the night went by calmly, eventually Hina made her way back to her own house and the Seki family retired to their own rooms.

Mei being the good student she was did her homework and just managed to finish before her phone started buzzing like crazy.

With a last glance at her phone she knew the group chat wasn’t going to die down anytime soon so she put her phone on do not disturb, put in her airpods in and drifted off to sleep while listening to her Lo-fi playlist.

 

5 minutes before her alarm was scheduled to go off Mei woke up and cherished those extra 5 minutes, because nothing on Earth felt as good as being able to go back to sleep. Before she could properly enjoy her extra time Kenji ran into her room yelling at her to get up. “You know im going away for a week tomorrow so we’re going to train extra hard today because your lazy ass won’t do anything when im gone”

 

“That’s a cruel accusation, for all you know I might start waking up at 4 to do an extra hour” Mei said which caused both the siblings to burst into a laughing fit.

 

“Yeah yeah okay I get it, im up lets go kick names and take ass” she sluggishly rolled out of bed

 

“You’re so weird, like so unbelievably weird and mum didn’t even drop you on the head when you were born so there’s no logical reason for it” Kenji rolled his eyes as he locked the front door and put in his earphones, ready for their 5K.

 

‘And you’re going to die alone because no one is desperate enough to love a prick like you’ to which Kenji responded by simply sticking his middle finger out.

 

Kenji didn’t exaggerate when he said the training session was going to be extra hard. It was so draining in fact that Mei had to go to her mother to get her energy restored otherwise she wouldn’t be able to use her quirk at school. It was this kind of training that made her miss her dad, and the breakfast he used to cook afterwards.

 

Mei got ready for school and headed off towards the train station, as she saw Bakugou waiting to board the same train she took out her phone and messaged him saying ‘Why do you always look like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed?’. Instead of writing back a response Bakugou looked Mei in the eye and made a vulgar gesture that she’d already seen that morning from her very own brother. She spent the rest of the train journey staring at the passing trees and houses.

 

Once at school All Might boomed through the door and announced they would be doing Hero vs Villain Battle training. “Real fighting already?” Midoriya asked nervously.

 

Everyone else in the class seemed to somewhat share Midoriya’s nerves apart from Bakugou who looked like he was itching for a fight, Todoroki who never really expressed many feelings and obviously Mei who was ready to kick ass.

 

“Get in your suits and meet me at training Ground Beta!” The class then collected their suits from their assigned lockers and headed to the changing rooms that they were now familiar with. Mei’s costume was an all-black tight fitting suit with red fabric on her chest, forearms which extended down to her knuckles and also on her shins. Her suit obviously made of high quality hero material also had a diamond cut out on her chest just below her neck. The suit perfectly complimented her figure as it extenuated all her curves. As the rest of the girls were still getting ready Mei was plaiting her hair as she knew it would get in her way if she left it down, she then looked around at everyone and said “Damn you ladies are looking mighty fine and mighty heroic”

 

After some blushing Mina spoke up and said “Umm Mei have you seen yourself?” which ended in all the girls trading compliments and eventually making their way outside. As they approached the boys who were already waiting, Mei noticed that all of their cheeks were dusted pink. She felt so accomplished knowing she and her fellow girlfriends had managed to get this reaction out of the 1-A boys.

 

“Damn Kiri you’re really out here trying to distract me by not wearing a shirt huh?” Mei giggled

 

“It’s not my fault you’re so attracted to all this manliness Mei, I gotta say you look like a snack!” Kirishima flexed his arms as if he was in a body builder’s competition.

 

“Can the two of you keep it in your pants for a fucking minute?” Bakugou scowled

 

“Bakubitch there’s no need to be jealous I think you look good too” Mei sent a wink over to Bakugou knowing it was an easy way to piss him off.

 

“Don’t fucking call me bitch and why would I give a shit about what you think”

 

“How can you rip out my heart in front of everyone like this?” She cried while dramatically throwing her hand up to her forehead and falling backwards only for Kaminari to catch her. Sero and Mina rushed over to her side and started to fake cry which in Mei’s opinion really sold their whole performance.

 

“Bakugou you killed her! How could you, y-y-you heartless man!” Sero cried while fake consoling Mina.

 

“Mei nooo, my bestie ripped from me at such a young age, she had such a bright future ahead of her”. It was at that point that Bakugou had enough, with a quick ‘I fucking hate you all’ he walked away leaving the rest of the baku-squad to laugh and discuss how good they all look and how much of a perv Mineta was for staring at Momo. Mei decided to take matters into her own hands and give Mineta the wedgie of a century without actually having to touch his nasty skid-marked underwear.

 

“Stop staring and being a creep or next time I will force your underwear to actually split you in half and give you a makeshift vagina” Mei stated as she released Mineta from his punishment.

 

“Though I agree with your reasoning, violence is never the answer especially not against a fellow classmate” Iida said waving his hands around as Mei and the rest of them laughed at the grape crying in the corner. She even managed to get Todoroki and Bakugou to crack a smile and chuckle. An absolute win in her books.

 

All Might cleared his throat and announced that the pairs could be randomly chosen by him drawing slots. Mei was paired up with Todoroki, a basically unstoppable pairing, she knew it and so did the rest of the class. The villains Mei and Todoroki were going up against were Ojiru and Shoji, Mei knew it was going to be an easy win but her mood quickly shifted when she heard Midoriya was going to go against Bakugou.

 

Hey you okay Izu?

 

Yeah it’s just training, what’s the worst that can happen right?

 

Exactly it’s all going to be fine, All Might definitely won’t let it get out of control. Plus you can easily crush that annoying bastard.Mei looked over at Midoriya and sent him two thumbs up and a somewhat genuine smile. It was in moments like this she wished she had Hina’s quirk so that she could comfort her friends.

 

Mei watched and listened to the pairs who went before her judging their strategy and their execution. Eventually it was her and Todoroki’s turn so they made their way down to the building. “Do you want to discuss strategies or do you want to just go with the flow? Mei asked Todoroki while cracking her knuckles in anticipation and put in her earpiece so that she could communicate with her partner, not that she needed an earpiece to do that.

 

“I’ve got this you can just stay here” he said nonchalantly.

 

“Excuse me, I must’ve misheard you” Mei refused to believe what he said.

 

Todoroki lifted his hand and placed it on the wall and the wall was encompassed with ice and he repeated what he previously said. The rest of the class, being able to hear what was being said by the pair, started to feel the tension rising between the pair.

 

“Yeah umm no, we’re meant to be partners so I will not just stay here, if you want me to stand here for a moment while you freeze the place and we go together fine, but you will not be doing this by yourself” Mei could already feel the rage inside bubbling as she got rid of all the ice in the building.  

Oh my god she got rid of all of Todoroki’s ice without even touching it Midoriya thought to himself while gaping at the screen.

 

“I can do this by myself, I don’t need you getting in my way, so stand here while I go beat them” Todoroki glared at Mei while refreezing the building. It was at that point that Mei got mad. As before Mei got rid of all the ice without touching it, the only different being this time all the ice gathered around Todoroki locking him in place, Mei slowly turned the ice around so that he was now facing her. The rest of the class might as well have been Todoroki in that moment because they were all frozen staring at the screens, completely enraptured by what was about to happen.

 

“Listen here you little shit, I don’t know who the fuck you think you are but you do not treat people like shit and you DEFINITELY do not speak to me like im a piece of shit on your shoe. You may have a god complex and think you’re above everyone but newsflash asshole you’re training to be a hero so you’re going to have to deal with others” Mei was ranting and there was no stopping her, she figured yelling at him was better than crushing his skull with his own ice.

 

“The audacity of you to assume you’re stronger than me, I’ll get in your way? No you’re in my fucking way. So be a good little frozen icicle while I go win this” She created one of her energy spheres and launched it directly at Todoroki’s nose which resulted in an unsettling crack and pool of blood to erupt from his nose.

 

“Young Seki, this exercise is not to fight against your teammate, release him now or you will be disqualified!” All Might hollered down his own mic.

 

“yeah yeah sure whatever” Mei said teleporting herself to the bomb, placing a hand on it winning the challenge and releasing Todoroki all at the same time. If you blinked you would’ve missed her at work.

 

Her black eyes now on full show as she continued a chain of curses so colourful poor baby Midoriya had a red face and Bakugou was sporting a smirk, low-key impressed that she didn’t take IcyHots shit like most of the class would’ve. By the time she’d stopped cursing, she was back at to the viewing room and sitting in a chair arms crossed while the class stared in awe.

 

Mei, are you okay?

 

I’m fine Midoriya, I would be even better if I had broken all of his bones and not just his nose though, but good luck with your battle, I’ll be rooting for you.

 

Thanks and if you need to talk about what happened im here for you

 

You’re the best angel, we’ll talk about this after you’re done with your match, I don’t want you being distracted.

 

Mei stayed at the back of the room carefully observing the screen as the Bakugou Deku match was in full swing, she was honestly surprised All Might hadn’t stopped that match Bakugou was attacking Midoriya a lot harder than she attacked Todoroki. Eventually the match finished and Mei somehow found her way over to the nurse’s office to see both the boys on hospital beds.

 

“They’ll both be just fine sweetheart” Recovery Girl reassured Mei.

 

“Oh I know they’re too stubborn to let a concussion, broken bones or even death stop them” Mei smiled at the old woman as she started walking out of the room.

 

By the time they got out of bed it was lunch time. Bakugou approached the food hall and saw a table full of idiots he might one day consider his friends. He hoped he would be able to silently approach them and sit down without them making a big deal out of his arrival. Oh how wrong he was.

 

The first to notice him was the spikey haired boy “Bakubro over here” he yelled while violently waving.

 

“The prodigal son returns” Mei yelled while moving her tray out of the way to make room for him.

 

 Sero, Mina and Kaminari used their one collective brain cell to scream “he’s alivee” which drew the attention of the Deku-squad table which was sitting a few rows over, hey all turned to see the chaos that was the Baku-squad.

 

“You pricks are so annoying and i don't know why the fuck you're here Witch Bitch” Bakugou scoffed which led to Mei kicking him under the table, as he sat down in-between Kirishima and Mei and began eating his food as next lesson began in 10 minutes. Unfortunately for him no one at the table really let him eat as they bombarded him with so many questions he felt as though his head might explode.

 

Time flew as the remaining lessons were a lot calmer in comparison to the first one that day. The whole group made their way to the train station and said their goodbyes as they got on their separate trains. A warm feeling spread through Mei as she was now part of a friend group that she knew had the potential to grow into something beautiful and long lasting.

 

“The fuck are you thinking about so hard? Your face is all messed up” Bakugou questioned as he and Mei got off at their stop.

 

“Oh yes keep talking like that to me and I’ll be putty in your hands in no time” Mei retorted.

 

“Fuck off witch bitch, is it about that IcyHot bastard?”

 

“It actually wasn’t but now im thinking about that and oh would you look at that im mad again, thanks Bakugou you know just how to sweet talk a girl” Mei sighed wondering whether or not she went too far.

 

“If you’re thinking you overdid it, you didn’t, he deserved it. If you didn’t break his nose I would’ve fucking had to so you did me a favour” Bakugou said as he grabbed her arm to stop her mid-walk.

 

Hmm not bad Bakugou, that actually helped I didn’t expect that from you. Mei said down the mind link as she continued walking home.

 

“What the fuck” he started looking around, just like Midoriya the first time she mind linked the two.

 

Ah are you looking for me? I’m in your head so looking around like a headless chicken won’t do you any good. Also you don’t have to speak your thoughts aloud, just think them.

 

What did you do to me you fucking witch bitch, how are you in my head

 

“Ah you see Bakugou there’s a lot about my quirk that you would know if you paid attention to someone else for once in a while, instead of always focusing on yourself.” Mei said with a smirk as she rushed off before she could feel the wrath of Bakugou. He cursed under his breath thinking she had constant access to his thoughts, Mei knew this was a fear most people had and usually she told them she couldn’t do that right from the start. Yet she decided she would torment him by not telling him, it’s what he deserved for being such an asshole all the time.

Chapter 5: the at school mosh pit

Notes:

Shinsou: Welcome back to the Seki Mei Hotline, you are live
Bakugou: Yeah Seki Mei fucking suc-

With Kenji gone she didn’t have anyone to spar with so Mei really couldn’t be bothered to get out of bed, she hated the idea of Kenji being right about something. Reluctantly she stood up and readied herself for her run, instead of a 5K she decided to double it just so that she’d have something to do to occupy her time. In order to spice up her life a little she decided to take a different route “Oh how sad my life must be that choosing a different route to run is ‘adding spice’” Mei huffed to herself.

The run was going well, she was 7K into it meaning she was now heading back home when out of the corner of her eye she saw a familiar wad of blonde hair. There was only one blonde that she knew who was dedicated enough to be out on a run at 6:30am, Bakugou. As she speed up and approached the boy she noticed he was wearing all black and the only bit of colour he sported was a white skull printed on his vest top.

Phaha who knew you were such an emo with your little skull print

Witch bitch? Where the fuck are you and why are you stalking me again. Bakugou asked while looking around and eventually locking eyes with Mei, who was wearing black jogging bottoms, a navy sports bra (with a regular black bra underneath because everyone needs extra support) and multi-coloured running shoes.

Again with the stalking accusation, I do live here you know you ass. Mei sent across the mind-link as although she walked towards him, she was still too far away from Bakugou to talk to him directly without having to shout.

“You may live here but I run here every day at this time and I’ve never fucking seen you before. So explain why the fuck you’re here before I kill you” Bakugou threatened.

“I don’t have to explain myself to you if I want to run here im going to fucking run here” Mei retorted as she could see the frustration building on his face. ‘God its fun to piss him off’ she thought to herself while trying to suppress a smile even though every muscle in her face was already starting to contort.

Don’t fucking test me

“Fine if you really must know, you nosey prick, my brother is away and since I usually spar with him I had nothing better to do. So I decided to turn my 5K into a 10K and run somewhere else, then a saw someone else running and I thought hmm who’s stupid enough to be running at this time in the morning” she said as the explosions stopped going off from his palms.

“You realised you’re also running at this time so you just fucking called yourself stupid?”

“Well yes I realised as soon as I said it, anyway um since my brother is gone for a week do you want to come to my house and be my sparring partner?” Mei asked the boy hopefully.

“No” he retorted as he ran off without giving Mei an explanation for the decline, all she could think about was how much of a prick he was.

Mei didn’t really care though, it was only a week without a partner, and she could easily manage by herself. Who knew maybe she would find herself a different partner, someone who wasn’t as much of an asshole as Bakugou. Once she got home she trained her quirk as she normally did, her main focus as always was to created chains strong enough that no villain could break them. Every time she tried to create new ones he brother cut through them. Sometimes it took a second and other times it took a few minutes of constant water drilling, but he always managed to break them. Mei’s was eternally surprised that he managed to break them as her whole quirk was based around her not abiding the laws of nature, when she imagined the chains nothing could break them, but somehow their unbreakable nature got lost in translation.

When she got frustrated by her quirk not working as she wanted it to she stepped through a portal into a small world of her own creation. After all what good was Reality Warping if she couldn’t make her own world. It wasn’t anything big and wild, just a small patch of green grass surrounded by a ring of trees and flowers as far as the eye could see. Before her stood a waterfall with a small body of water under it, to make it truly perfect she heated the clear water ever so slightly just so it didn’t feel as though she was stepping into an ice bath whenever she dipped in. There were tiny bunnies roaming all around the grounds and birds in the trees singing sweet tunes that just seemed to make Mei’s worries fade into the distance.

Though it was her own private domain she made it a habit to bring her loved ones there to show them. It drained a lot of energy transporting herself there so when she decided to only go there for an hour or so she would bring Hina, Kenji or one of her parents with her just to make sure she didn’t pass out and die. However for her longer stays she went by herself for some peace and quiet and at that point if she needed to get away so badly she didn’t care if she was out cold for hours or even days. 

Despite her annoyance at her inability to create the chains she wanted, the rest of Mei’s morning went as smoothly. She did her normal routine which consisted of; breakfast, boarding a train while sticking up a middle finger at Bakugou, meeting up with the rest of the crew as they all got off their own trains and making their way to school while laughing at some stupid thing Kaminari said.

“That is honestly one of the dumbest thigs I think you’ve ever said Kami” Mei laughed.

“Hey I’m just saying there has got to be someone out there whose quirk is to make bananas that people slip on!” Kaminari tried defending himself.

“Nah bro just give up there’s no convincing us you’re not stupid” Sero said which earned him a small electric shock on his neck from Kaminari. By the time they arrived news reporters had already swarmed them and began asking questions about All Might as a teacher. The gang got themselves in a triangle formation and waded their way through with Bakugou in front, Mei and Kirishima behind him, with Sero, Mina and Kaminari at the back. Kirishima obviously being the gentleman he is held on to Mei’s hand and asked if she’s okay, she gave his hand a quick squeeze and set up a mind-link between the two of them and reassured him that shes fine. Just like everyone else he had a bunch of questions which she answered while the two gave each other quick smiles and carried on walking.

Mei heard some brunette reporter say “Hey aren’t you that kid from the sludge villain attack?”

“Walk away” Bakugou spat as he cleared he crowd of reporters. Mei locked her eyes on him as she doubted anyone else heard the reporter.

Sludge villain? What was that about Bakugou?

Mind your own fucking business

Did you get attacked or something, are you okay?

He turned and looked straight at her with hate in his eyes “I said mind your own fucking business are you that stupid that you don’t understand?!” Mei just stood there with crossed arms as Kirishima and Kaminari followed Bakugou who rushed off toward their classroom.

“Well someone definitely shat in his breakfast because he wasn’t in this bad of a mood this morning” Mei continued walking with Sero and Mina to her locker.

“You saw him this morning? OOOO a little walk of shame?” Mina joked.

“Number 1 you’re vile as if he would be interested in anyone apart from himself, 2 I was on a run and I bumped into him, finally number 3 he hates me and i can't stand him” she shoved Mina away from her, and saw Shinsou at his locker. With a quick goodbye and a quizzical look from the pair she made her way over to him.

She stood behind the boy and tapped his shoulder, evidently he wasn’t too bothered by the action as he carried on putting his belongings in his locker. Once he finished he turned to see Mei staring at him with a smile, “Long time no see my guy”

“It hasn’t been that long but it is nice to see someone smile in this school” Shinsou retorted.

“It’s been a couple of weeks! Since I don’t have your number its felt like even longer. I wouldn’t want my first friend at this school to forget about me now would I?” she continued smiling at the boy

“You definitely throw the word friend around loosely, we had one conversation but we’ll have to change that so give me your phone and I’ll give you my number” he smirked as he saw the girl reach into her pocket to take out her phone. As he finished typing the bell rung for first lesson to start.

“Remember you gave me your number so when I start messaging you 24/7, I don’t want to hear any complaints from you” She said while she started walking away toward her class.

“I look forward to it” Shinsou murmured as he put his hands in his pockets, smiling to himself about the girl who seemed very eager to be his friend. Before he got too excited about it he reminded himself that as soon as she found out about his quirk she would see him as a villain and hate him, this made him determined to keep his quirk a secret for as long as possible.

In the 1-A Classroom Aizawa announced that the class needed to elect a class representative. But of course no Dadzawa speech was complete without him scolding his students. “Bakugou you’re obviously talented stop wasting it by going overboard on a classmate. Midoriya if you can’t use your quirk without breaking your body, I don’t want to hear any more excuses. Todoroki no matter how strong you are, you will need help from others so you either accept it or get out of my class. Finally Seki next time you use excessive violence on a team mate I won’t be as lenient as All Might, I will suspend you on the spot no matter how good your reasoning may be.” All the students who got their own personal Aizawa ass whooping gave curt nods and a ‘Yes sir’ after he finished their portion.

Everyone in the class got their own ballot slip and to no one’s surprise most of the students voted for themselves. The front runners were Midoriya with 3 votes and Momo with 2 and to that obviously Bakugou had something to say “WHO THE FUCK VOTED FOR SHITTY DEKU”

“Bakugou you’re only mad because the only vote you got was you own, are you really surprised no one voted for you since you're the most unlikable person here” Mei interjected while grabbing the back of his jacket in an unsuccessful attempt to get him seated.

“Shut the fuck up you voted for yourself as well, you can’t talk and don't say i'm unlikable when everyone thinks you're an annoying bitch” he growled in the direction of the seated girl.

“Actually I didn’t I voted for Iida, he already acts like the president so he might as well receive the title, so I have no idea who voted for me” Mei objected his accusation.

A strong voice broke the silence in the room “I voted for you”

“Iida? Why did you vote for me and holy shit we voted for each other, great minds think alike am I right my dude?” Mei exclaimed as she walked towards her classmate with a fist extended before her.

Iida obviously being himself didn’t fist bump the girl, instead he took her hand and shook it. “From what I’ve seen at the entrance exam and since the start of the year your confidence in yourself mixed with your desire to work well in a team makes you the perfect leader!”

Mei wasn’t sure how to respond to that apart from a sincere thank you and a very wide smile. Aizawa then released the class for lunch, something for which everyone was grateful for. Everyone made their way to the cafeteria where the smells of Lunch Rush’s creations filled the air, once they filled their trays the members of the Baku-squad made their way over to their table and began eating and conversing.

“But you haven’t even let me finish” Mei cried.

“There is not a fucking chance that I will wear a group Halloween costume with you dipshit extras” Bakugou concluded.

“Bro why not we would be the most badass squad in the school!” Kaminari exclaimed as he heard a ‘tch’ erupt from Bakugou’s lips. 

“Hold the fucking phone, Kami did you seriously just imply that we’re not the most badass group in school?!” with a puff Mina said.

“Dude I’m hurt im not going to lie” Sero voiced

“Me too bros, but can we get back to Mei’s costume idea, I want to hear it!” Kirishima said while looking over at Mei, nodding his head as a gesture that she should continue.

“It’s going to fucking suck like all her ideas” interrupted the hot head.

“Literally shut the fuck up Bakugou i seriously doubt anyone would want to spend Halloween with you, right basically my first idea, and this is just a suggestion, was a case of 6 beers in one container!” Mei preached, the rest of the group took a moment of silence and then mumbled about how they agreed with Bakugou that her idea did in fact suck. Feeling all kinds of betrayed Mei was going to yell at her friends saying how they hurt her in so many unimaginable ways, before being rudely interrupted by a blaring alarm.

Everyone in the cafeteria panicked and started evacuating the hall at once which lead to people getting crushed in the lunch hall turned mosh pit. After the initial chaos of Mei being separated from her friends she herself being pulled from the majority of the crowed by a purple haired sleep deprived boy whose height meant that he towered over most people in the room. The two were interrupted from their pending escape as Iida managed to get himself up on an emergency exit sign and screamed that it was just the media and that everyone should stop panicking and return to their seats.

The atmosphere now settled as most students heeded Iidas advice and did in fact return to their tables, Mei’s friend group being among those now seated. However Mei and Shinsou were still stood in the middle of the cafeteria holding hands having a conversation. Which left her friends with many questions as this was now the second time that day Mei was seen with the mysterious boy.

“You just can’t seem to get away from me today, if I didn’t know any better I’d say you’re obsessed with me” Shinsou bragged.

“I would be obligated to agree with you if it weren’t for the fact you were still holding my hand, so maybe you’re the one who’s obsessed” she gazed down to the pairs interlocked hands, though Shinsou’s hands were much larger than Mei’s so her hands seemed to completely drown in his.

“Ah we’ll you do seem to be right, I’m just glad I got to you in time and that you’re okay” he murmured.

“I’m a big girl I can look after myself, I don’t need you to be my knight in shining armour you know, that being said I am thankful that you found me during that” she squeezed his hand as she heard her name being called out, the pair looked across to see her friends waving their hands and gesturing for her to come over, “ah I should probably get over back to them otherwise they’ll come over and embarrass me.”

“Ashamed of me are you now?” Shinsou questioned as he abruptly released her hand.

“Ashamed of you? Oh my god of course not, its them im ashamed of if you do want to meet them I’d love to introduce you as long as you promise me not to judge me too harshly for them!” Mei insisted.

“No it’s fine I’ll get going, goodbye cupcake” he smiled sweetly at the girl as he began to walk away. Once he was gone Mei made her way over to the table and told Kaminari to move his fat ass. His only response to that was saying to Mei “Finally someone appreciates my thicc juicy ass” and once the laughter at the table died down Mina asked if that guy was her boyfriend.

“No” was the only response Mei gave

“Sooo like who is he?” Kirishima questioned

“He’s the love of my life, my soulmate, the apple of my eye and my only reason to live. Ladies and Gentlemen may I introduce you to Hitoshi Shinsou of the General Studies.” Mei announced, the table once again returning to complete silence as all eyes were on Mei and the food Kaminari had previously been shovelling into his mouth, now fell out. “A joke that was a joke guys he’s just my friend who I met at the entrance exams”

“He must be a fucking weakling if he ended up in general studies like the fucking extra he is” Bakugou simply stated.

“Get fucked you asshole, not everyone can have a powerful quirk like you. You don’t even deserve it with your stank ass personality, god you're literally the worst person i've ever met and i seriously hope you get kicked out of the hero course so he can take your place!” Mei slammed her fists into the table causing a dent to form as she rose from her seat and walked away. The rest of the day went pretty easily and once Mei got home she took her phone out to see she had received multiple texts.

“Okay miss popular we get it you have friends” Hina snatched Mei’s phone from her hand “Who the fuck is this and what kind of username is that?” Hina questioned

“That oh dearest one is my friend Shinsou and that’s his username because he has some killer eyebags under his eyes” Mei simply stated.

“Are you gonna start crushing on him or what?” Hina asked which caused Mei to choke on her drink and shake her head violently as Hina laughed profusely.

“You’re so weird dude, can I not make a singular guy friend without you automatically assuming im going to fall in love”

“Okay okay don’t get your panties in a twist I’m just asking, fine come on lets go on that walk you wanted to go on” Hina said while getting off Mei’s bed and heading downstairs. The pair often went on walks with their arms linked together, no one really knew what the pair talked about. Most of the time though it was about people watching as they walked through the busy streets of their beloved town. Normally they could complete their walks without any incidents occurring, today however was not one of those days…

Chapter 6: filler episode but make it *interesting*

Notes:

Drunk guy: It don't matter, it don't matter!
Mei: If you don't shut up
Drunk guy: Damn she really about to rock my shit
Mei: *thows punch*

! CATCALL + DRUNK MEN TRIGGER WARNING !

This wasn’t the first time something like this has happened to the girls after all even in a hero society men still got drunk and catcalled women. Usually a quick middle finger from Hina and a ‘get fucked you prick’ from Mei works as a deterrent and the man did indeed fuck off. This time it was different he was a drunk who just happened to tower over the girls, if Mei had to guess he was 6’3, and had the muscles to match his height. To make matters even worse he had friends 2 of them, equally as muscular but lacking in the height department.

“You ladies interested in a good night?” the tallest one asked

“Nah we’re good thanks so fuck off” Mei replied as she felt Hina’s grip on her arm tighten, she took her hand and squeezed Hina’s arm while sending a reassuring smile as they continued walking.

“Oh come on baby girl no need to be so rude” One of the shorter ones relayed.

Mei spun her head and looked at the man up and down “Listen its only 5pm and you’re already drunk out of your mind, if you’re that much of a lightweight I can only imagine how bad you are in bed also going after underage girls just shows that no-one your age wants you”

“What the fuck did you say you little bitch?” The original thug spat

Mei just leave it please, it’s not worth it

We’re going to be fine these guys are always no bite just bark

Dude seriously don’t please

“We’ll just be on our way so enjoy the rest of your evening and try not to be such pigs in the future” Mei muttered getting quieter by the end of the sentence, so quiet in fact she thought only Hina would be able to hear her.

“You don’t think we’re just going to let you go after that, do you?” he said getting closer to the girls, but they took no notice and continued walking away

Hina if they approach us looking for a fight I’m teleporting you away

What?! No way am I leaving you alone!

I can handle them easily by myself but not if I have to worry about you getting hurt. I won’t move you back home but at least behind those trees. The trees being just on the other side of the road away from the bars, which we’re all practically empty as it was only 6pm.

Fine but if it’s any further than the trees im rushing back here and I mean it Mei

You got it baby I promise, just please let me handle this

“Are you listening to me you bitch!” Mei could practically feel his hot breath on the back of her neck, it was at this point she looked at Hina who gave her a brief nod just before being teleported away by Mei.

She spun to face the man who was about to become her opponent when she heard a voice call out her name. Kirishima. Her head turned to see him and a certain blonde standing nearby Hina and looking at Mei with wide eyes.

Before Kirishima, being the gentleman he is, could ask if Mei was okay she yelled in their direction “I don’t need your fucking help just watch out for Hina” She turned back to the man as she heard Bakugou ask ‘who the fuck is Hina’ to which her best friend responded in her usual loud voice ‘Me and I would bet any money you’re the prick known as Bakugou Katsuki’.

“You need to fuck off before you get hurt” Mei spoke in a deadly voice, Kirishima and Bakugou arriving really ruined her rhythm as she knew the two wouldn’t hesitate to jump in and help her fight. Her only hope was that they would let her handle it and look after Hina instead. Her thoughts interrupted by a fist which thundered in her direction and a classmate who used his explosions to shoot himself off in her direction. Mei took advantage of her fast reflexes and froze Bakugou mid-air and also stopped the fist centimetres in front of her face.

“Bakugou I can fucking handle this myself, interrupt me and I’ll put you on your ass again, i don't even fucking know why you're here!” Mei screamed at him not even bothering to look behind her as she dropped him from her black mist like energy field. With the slight embarrassment of being dropped on his ass Bakugou retreated back to Kirishima tried reassuring Hina that Mei was going to be fine and if things got too heated he and Bakugou wouldn’t hesitate to help. Hina however knew her friend and had no doubt in her mind that the match wouldn’t last long and that Mei would consider it nothing more than a warm up.

With his friends’ fist being held in some kind of black shadow, one of the shorter drunks decided to straight towards Mei “Rookie mistake” she giggled. Mei extended the so called shadow all over his body and moved him so that he stood directly in front of her, with him in the ideal position she shifted so that she was side on with the man and swiftly kicked out her leg which she reinforced with her mist and parked it in the man’s stomach. She kicked him with such force that his body shoot backwards directly at his friend who was still running at full speed, the two collided and left the pair groaning in pain on the floor, leaving only one cocky bastard left.

The one left finished off his beer and smashed it against the table with a smug grin across his face. Mei was marked by uncontrollable excitement at the idea of wiping said smile off his face. Both Kirishima and Bakugou carefully observed each and every one of Mei’s moves, while Kirishima stared in awe Bakugou’s gaze was more focused on carefully analysing her moves for future fights. Mei pondered whether she should use her quirk or not, ultimately she decided against using it as she’d already been too flashy about it and since she didn’t have her Hero License yet she risked getting into substantial trouble. So instead of waiting for him to run to her she made her way over to him at full speed and slid between the drunks’ legs only for him to spin and get a face full of Mei’s fist.

She grabbed a handful of his shirt and dragged him over towards his other 2 friends who were now sitting up and holding their heads between their knees, in an attempt to make their heads stop spinning. She threw him and crouched until she was level with the drunks.

 “Okay fuckwads now listen and listen well if having your asses handed to you by me wasn’t bad enough, my classmate over there is always itching to beat the shit out of someone so if I were to tell him to finish the job he would be over here in a second. So please remember in the future that no woman likes to be catcalled and if you ever so much as try to hit one there will be a group of people ready to beat the shit out of you” Mei spat with as much venom in her voice as she could muster.

The cowards kept their eyes locked on Mei, once she finished and told them to fuck off they got up and ran off so quickly that if this were a cartoon they would’ve left their clothes behind. Once they were gone Mei returned to her friends and Bakugou, Hina met Mei with a quick embrace while Kirishima rambled on about how manly her fighting was. Whereas the only thing Bakugou could come up with was “It took you too long to finish them off”

“Fuck you, you asshole, Hina and I will be leaving now in that case, bye Kirishima I’ll see you in class” Mei scoffed and dragged Hina away from the pair.

“Damn I know you said he was an ass but I honestly thought you were exaggerating, like when you were fighting he kept complaining about your technique” Hina mentioned

“Of course he did, he’s just mad because he knows I would kick his ass in a second” she responded getting a laugh out of Hina as the pair re-joined arms and walked back to Hina’s house. Instead of coming inside Mei left her friend and explained she just wanted to head home, Hina of course being the understanding person she was told Mei to message her once she go home. After that Mei decided to take the long scenic route home, which made the 20 minute journey between their houses a 1h30min long one.

She was about halfway through her walk which consisted of walking on the long path with the view of the lake on one side and the blaring city on the other. It was far enough from the city where the loud noises of taxi’s and people yelling sounded like faint whispers in the background. She enjoyed any quiet time she could get as life with her friends and family sometimes because excruciatingly loud.

“Mei is that you?” She heard a quiet voice yell out. As her eyes focused she saw a trio standing and waving at her, it was Midoriya, Uraraka and Iida.

“Hey guys what’s up?” She said as she rushed over to her friends.

“We were just walking and we saw- WHOA MEI your fist is all bloody what happened” Izuku yelled out as Mei noticed that she did in fact have blood on her hand, it was strange that she didn’t notice it beforehand.

“Oh yeah it’s nothing these drunk guys were cat calling me and my friend, then they tried to hit me so I gave them a knuckle sandwich, no biggie” Mei explained while wiping her hands on her red and black cargo pants in order to try and get the blood off.

“No biggie that seems like a pretty huge biggie if you ask me!” Uraraka exclaimed as her wide eyes seemed to somehow get bigger.

“I am obligated to agree with Ochaco it does seem like a big deal, though I am glad you don’t seem injured” his hands seemed to do his signature Iida gestures.

“Yeah no I’m absolutely fine thanks though guys. What are you up to anyway?” Mei questioned.

“We just went on a walk and now we’re headed to chill at my house want to join us?” Izuku asked.

“Oh I would love to but I’m just going to head home, long day and all that, but next time you meet up and want me there just hit me up and I’ll be there” Mei beamed and began heading back in her original direction. The trio said a quick ‘Bye Mei’ and continued walking and laughing towards Izuku’s house.

Thank god that’s over I just want to go home and sleep Mei thought to herself, she loved those guys but after having to deal with the drunks and Bakugou her mood was ruined and her social battery was drained. One more conversation with someone and she just might implode. She had half an hour left on her walk, she could make it that long without seeing anyone she knows right? Oh how wrong she was as out of the corner of her eye she saw Shinsou walking along the busy street with his airpods in and hands in his pockets. She didn’t want to talk to him but if she did end up talking to him maybe she wouldn’t implode, after all conversations with him always seemed to slow without her having to force niceties as she might have to with others. Their eyes met and Mei let out a small smile and he responded with a wave before looking both ways as he crossed the street to reach her.

“Hey Mei-Mei what you doing here” Shinsou asked with his silk like voice.

“We’ll it seems the one time I leave my house I manage to run into everyone I know” Mei said as she indicated the way she was heading to which Shinsou nodded and started walking in time with Mei.

“Oh and here I was thinking I was special and the only person you ran into, damn might as well leave now” he scoffed pretending to act hurt.

“You may not be the only one but honestly you’re my favourite one, first it was a bunch of drunks that I had to deal with while on my walk with Hina, then Kirishima and Bakugou crashed my party and literally 15 minutes ago I had to talk to 3 more classmates on my way home” Mei ranted.

“I have so many questions I don’t even know where to begin, want to elaborate about these drunks that interrupted you and Hina did you say?” Shinsou asked.

“Yes her name is Hina and basically 3 six foot dudes cat called us and then picked a fight with me so I had to beat the fuck out of them and while I was in the process of doing so Bakugou tried to join in but I threw his ass on the ground before he could, that bit was kinda funny not going to lie” Mei chuckled.

“You beat the shit out of 3 drunk guys and put the loud mouth exploding kid on his ass? Jesus just how strong is your quirk?” Shinsou said clearly spooked.

“Hey even if I didn’t have my quirk I could easily beat them, I’m a kick ass lady with a powerful punch!” Mei was offended by his doubt in her so she playfully punched his arm.

“Oh believe me I’m starting to figure out that you’re not to be messed with, what is your quirk anyway?” He asked.

“Oh it’s called Reality Warping, basically anything I imagine I can make happen and my preferred sub-section of my quirk is energy manipulation because I can use these bad boys in a bunch of different ways. Oh and I almost forgot I also use telepathy often” She said while raising her palm and had the black energy to completely cover her hand, she then changed its appearance to become a ball and then she created a black butterfly which floated onto Shinsou’s nose.

“Holy shit that’s so cool even if butterflies are creepy as shit and does this mean you can read my mind” His compliment made her feel as though she had a handful of those butterflies floating around her insides.

“Oh how you flatter me oh dearest one, but what kind of weirdo finds butterflies creepy and no I can’t read your mind I can just talk to you in it now what’s your quirk?” Mei was beginning to get curious.

“Hold on I still have one question left to ask” Shinsou insisted, Mei raised her eyebrows in a way which implied she wanted him to continue.

“You said you had to talk to classmates, do you not like them or something?” He emphasised the had part of the sentence.

“Oh no no I absolutely adore them, I would literally die for them. My social battery is just drained and I’m in a bad mood” Mei quickly responded.

 “Damn you talk this much when you’re drained and in a bad mood? I’d hate to talk to you when you’re pumped and in want of a conversation. I can leave you here if you want so you can go back to brooding” Shinsou joked.

“Nah I actually enjoy talking to you, if it’s of any use to you, you’ve actually managed to alleviate my bad mood slightly, now it’s time to answer my question purple boy” Mei retorted.

“Ah yes my quirk, the one thing that’s going to scare you away and make me lose a friend, how fun” Shinsou’s whole mood seemed to drop as he knew what was about to happen because he’d experienced it a bunch of times before”

Confused Mei asked what he meant by that and he explained how his whole childhood everyone hated him because of his quirk which they all said was perfect for a villain, it was at this point Mei was dying to know what his quirk was. Mei couldn’t help but boil with anger because of how awful her friend must’ve felt as a child, the social isolation itself must’ve been a killer and that’s not even counting the bullying he got from his peers. As he was finishing up his story she reached over, grabbed his hand and gave it a slight squeeze to tell him that she empathetic of his situation and that she had no intention of being like the others.

“Basically my quirk is called Brainwashing and whenever someone answers a question I ask them I gain complete control over them.” He quietly muttered.

“THAT SHIT IS COOL AS FUCK OMG WHAT THE FUCK MY DUDE WHY WOULD THEY SAY THAT, OMG CAN YOU PLEASE  USE IT ON ME I WANT TO SEE WHAT IT FEELS LIKE” Mei said as she grabbed Shinsou’s other hand and bounced up and down with such adoration in her eyes. At seeing her response to his quirk he couldn’t help but let out a sign of relief before smiling brightly at her for the first time.

“You must be even crazier than I thought if you want me to use my quirk on you” he chuckled.

“Number 1 never tell a woman she’s crazy and 2 with a fucking quirk like that who wouldn’t want you to use it on them, so will you please please PLEASEEEEE” Mei begged.

“Fine but let’s go sit on the grass just in case something happens” He said as he pulled Mei into the nearby park. He finally found a nice spot for them to sit at so he let go of her hand, took a seat and gestured for her to sit across from him.

“Are you sure you want me to do this?” Shinsou was nervous, she had accepted him so far but this could be the thing that changed her view on him.

“I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life, do it buddy” Mei exclaimed before she felt her control of her body drain from her as if it were being sucked out with a straw. Her face went completely blank and her hands fell to her side as though she lost all her energy.

“Pull your hair” Shinsou instructed and Mei had no choice but to obey. At first he made her do a bunch of stupid shit like run around making chicken noises and he got her to make him a dandelion crown. His last command before he released her was something he was dying to know. “Tell me what you really think of me”

“I think you’re one of the coolest people I’ve ever met, you’re so easy to talk to that I can already see us becoming bestest friends in like a day.” Shinsou felt himself glowing with happiness as he knew she couldn’t lie while under his control. He finally had a friend who liked him even after finding out what his quirk was.

 Just as Mei finished her sentence she felt her quirk tingling through her fingers. She never really noticed what her power felt like in her body but now that she experienced life without the feeling coursing through her veins, she couldn’t imagine life without it. “That felt so weird and you’re such an asshole for making me run like a chicken!”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t help myself, it was the best thing that’s happened to me all day, not that there’s much competition I should probably walk you home now” Shinsou responded.

“Oh shit want to talk about your day on the way back, and alright let’s go my dude” Mei got up and extended her hand to Shinsou, he took her hand and they headed on their way as Mei led them to her house.

“There’s not much to say about it, General Studies is stupid and I hate it, my classmates even more so and the people on the hero course are all pompous assholes, well not you obviously but your class and 1-B” Shinsou complained.

“You should definitely be in the hero course, the entrance exam was such bullshit since it was robots and not actual villains, there’s this weird grape kid in my class that you should totally replace. I haven’t met people in 1-B but I can tell you that most of 1-A is pretty chill.” Mei responded and the pair continued walking towards her house. Once they arrived Mei offered to teleport Shinsou to his house but needed to see a picture of it first, he kindly declined her offer and said he didn’t mind the walk back. With a final goodbye Mei told him to text her once he’s home safe and Shinsou headed off on his way, which prompted Mei to check her phone to see that she had some notifications.

With that Mei left her and Bakugou’s chat and giggled to herself, it really was stupidly easy to annoy him. Mei talked to the guys in the group chat some more and went to update Hina on what Bakugou said, once she finished with that she readied herself for bed and finally went to sleep.

Chapter 7: fuck dem villains @ USJ

Notes:

All Might: i said whoever threw that student your mums a hoe

After a good night’s sleep Mei’s social battery was recharged and she was ready to take ass and kick names. She looked over at her alarm clock to see it was 5:55am “FUCK IZUKU IS GOING TO BE HERE IN 5 MINUTES” Mei roared and rushed to get dressed while she continued screaming various profanities. Somehow she managed to get ready in time as she heard Izuku knock on the door, however she was too slow in that instance as her mother reached the door long before she could. Mei got downstairs to see her mother chatting with Midoriya as though they were lifelong friends, it’s not surprising that he got on with Aiko so well since he was easily one of the kindest souls she’d ever met.

“What are you too love birds giggling about?” Mei questioned the pair.

“Izuku here was telling me all about the hero course since a certain someone doesn’t share many details with her dear mother, especially your training exercise with Todoroki was it” Aiko jibed.

“Ah yes, he was an asshole and he deserved it and I would do it again in a second, but its too bad because I thought we could’ve been friends” Mei quipped.

“That’s my girl” her mother said lovingly while wrapping her hands around her daughter. “Now you two go train well and I’ll have a breakfast ready for when you get back, oh and Izuku dear I’ll lay out some towels for you in the guest bathroom so you don’t have to race back home.

“That’s so kind thank you! Are you ready to go Mei?” Midoriya asked.

“Hell yeah I am buddy boy, let’s go run, you’re okay with a 5K right?” Mei had never did a morning training session with someone who wasn’t related to her, so she didn’t really know how other people trained.

“Oh yeah 5Ks are easy, do you want me to follow you?” He inquired to which Mei just nodded, said a quick goodbye to her mum and raced out the door with Izuku following a step behind her. The pair both ran at their normal pace and made it back to Mei’s where they discussed what they would do next. Mei explained that she normally does fight training followed by quirk strengthening, Midoriya didn’t respond instead he got into a fighting stance and looked over at Mei and smirked to show her he was ready.

Mei decided to make the first move and threw a few punches at Izuku all of which he easily dodged, she smirked knowing that after that he was going to gain confidence and let his guard down slightly. Mei knew that her combat skills were a lot stronger than his, Midoriya too figured this out after 4 straight rounds of landing on his ass and having to admitting defeat. Once he was on the ground Mei extended a hand and gave him a few pointers, normally when she does so people get offended and think Mei is acting like a cocky bitch. Midoriya however was different he took the pointers and subsequently got into position and yelled again.

Once they finished sparring Mei went inside to get the pair a drink while Midoriya got out his trusty notebook and started scribbling like crazy. Once she got back the boy wasted no time in asking more questions about her quirk, she answered them all obviously as how could anyone say no to such a cute face. Once they started quirk training Mei created the same chains she had been creating for weeks now in hopes that Midoriya would come up with some way she can make them stronger, after all he was the resident quirk expert. Mei told him to break the chain in a single point without ruining the rest of it to get better control over his quirk, obviously that did not go well.

“What the fuck my guy, how do you have such bad control that it literally ruins your arm.” Mei scrutinized the boy as she put her hands around his broken wrist and used her power to fix it. A broken bone took some concentration from Mei but it wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle, though a trip to her mother after they finished would be necessary.

“I don’t really know I’ve just never gotten a handle on it, but your chain was really strong so I don’t really know how to help you improve that other than more practice maybe? More importantly I’ve seen your eyes turn black in the past but I never asked why they do that” He said elated as he could now move his fingers again and unlike being healed by Recovery Girl he wasn’t feeling drained at all.

“I basically have the shit end of cuttlefish vision. They see high definition polarized light so their sight is a lot better than ours however when I use my quirk I overload my optic nerve and while I can see extremely unpolarised light it takes a lot of focus to make out any shapes from all the colours I can see” Mei explained.

A/N umm I can’t explain that very well but if you search up cuttlefish vision and click on the first picture that’s all colourful that’s what I mean.

“That’s so cool, how long does it last and why does it not happen when you use your telepathy?”

“It only lasts the instant when I use my quirk, as soon as I stop its back to normal and honest to all might I have no fucking clue” Mei said as the two of them went inside her house and she directed Izuku to the guest bathroom. After her shower she came downstairs to discover the pair giggling with each other again, though this time she decided against asking about their conversation topic. They all ate breakfast together and discussed what Kenji was getting up to at his internship and eventually Mei and Izuku made their way to the train station where they received a nastier than normal look from Bakugou.

Eventually the train stopped and the trio met up with their friends, Bakugou and Mei veered off towards the Baku-squad and Izuku gave Mei a quick wave goodbye and went off with the rest of the Deku-squad. The chatting stopped when Aizawa entered the room announcing today’s training activity was going to take place at USJ and that they should all get changed into their suits and meet up at the bus. As always Mina ran up to Mei grabbing her arm and pulled her toward the changing room where the girls all laughed about anything and everything.

“Everyone please line up in seating order” Iida commanded.

“I don’t think that’s going to work out baby” Mei chuckled as everyone boarded the bus only to notice the seats wouldn’t work out for Iidas plan. She took the window seat in the first row of normal 2x2 seats, she wondered who would sit by her. Low and behold it was her favourite frenemy Bakugou, who being his normal self didn’t even acknowledge Mei’s existence until she herself said hello and got a signature ‘tch’ in response.  

The chatter amongst the class carries on seamlessly until the topic of quirks comes up. The first person whose quirk is discussed was Midoriya’s, it was clear to Mei that the conversation was making him act all flustered.

You okay angel? Want me to step in?

Umm I don’t know it’s all just a bit overwhelming

“Guys let’s be serious for a moment you can literally say that anyone with super strength has All Might’s quirk, but last time I checked Mighty Boy doesn’t glow when he throws a punch.” Mei scoffed trying to get the attention away from Midoriya. Which ended with her classmates throwing out a few ‘I guess’ and ‘yeah she’s got a point’.

Thank you I owe you one

Owe me? Nah mate I managed to feed my inner attention whore so really I owe you. Mei’s face erupted into a smile which settled the last of Midoriya’s nerves and so he let out a small laugh.

“Doing that weird fucking brain talking with Deku now huh?” Bakugou turned to face Mei when she opened her mouth to let out a smart retort that she was pretty proud of, Mei was interrupted.

“Well if you’re talking about flashy and strong, it’s gotta be Todoroki, Martyna and Bakugou though right?” Mei beam at Kirishima’s words.

“Oh damn you really put me in the big boys club, im flattered and you have completely won over my heart. Though I wouldn’t really classify my quirk as flashy when in compared to flashy boom boom man or Katy Perrys best song over there.” She responded.

“Bakugou’s always mad so he definitely won’t be as popular as Mei or Todoroki” Asui interjects. Mei couldn’t stop herself from laughing a little too loudly, while trying to salvage the situation she let out a fake cough but it’s a little too late as Bakugou already had mini explosions shooting from his palms.

“We haven’t known each other that long, so it’s kind of telling if everyone already knows your personality is crap steeped in sewage.” It was at that moment Mei was convinced Kaminari either had balls of steel, a death wish or both.

“What kind of vocabulary is that you bastard I’ll kill you!”

If you want to prove them wrong all it takes is for you to bite your tongue once in a while babe

I’m not going to take advice from some piece of shit like you

Maybe not now but you will one day, you may hate me and I may have a very strong distain for you but you gotta admit we’re pretty similar

In what fucking ways are we similar?

Well for one we both have stupid strong quirks, both swear like sailors, have strong personalities, we’re both sexy as shit and we’re both aiming for the number 1 spot. As Mei finished she had a wild smirk on her face as she was expecting Bakugou to go off on a tangent but to her surprise he reluctantly agreed with her, while calling her a weirdo for calling him sexy.

“Listen buddy boy, I have eyes and no filter therefore I shall say what I think, and you gotta admit I too am easy on the eyes” Mei quipped.

“You’re not too bad but I’m still better” Bakugou said nonchalantly.

Mei was utterly taken aback by him admitting such a thing “Fucking hell at no point did I expect you to agree with me! Omg does this mean we can be best friends now”

“Don’t fucking push it extra” He snarled as Aizawa announced that they had arrived at their destination. As Baku-squad all stand by each other while in the training centre Mei couldn’t focus on anything being said by her teacher or her friends as she was too busy staring at the views before her.

Thirteen began saying something that sounded serious that made Mei want to start paying attention “Let me just say something everyone, I’m sure you’re aware of my quirk Black Hole. It’s been used to save many people, but it is a power that can kill easily. Some of you also have quirks like that right?” Mei’s quirk was nothing short of OP and it was commonly known, though she’d never actually tried it she figured that her quirk could quite easily suck all the air from someone’s lungs, skin them completely or just straight up shove them into the centre of a black hole and watch them being spaghetti-fied without even breaking a sweat. The reason she never trained to do such things, with the help of her brother she easily could’ve, is because she felt those parts of her quirk felt more villainous than heroic.

Aizawa then took over from Thirteen “Alright now the-“suddenly a portal manifested itself in the middle of the facility at the bottom of the massive staircase. “Everyone gather together those are Villains down there! Thirteen, protect the students!”

The class all began running towards the only exit when someone materialised in front of the door and began an announcement “It’s lovely to meet you all, we are the League of Villains. I believe All Might should be here, has something changed?”

Mei’s insides stirred as she saw Bakugou and Kirishima launch themselves at the villain only for Mei to run after them and hear the villain yell “My job is to scatter and torture you all to death!” Before she could reach her friends they were swallowed by the portal. Mei suddenly started falling for what felt like an eternity but was in fact only a few seconds.

When she landed she felt something unbearably cold beneath her, it was Todoroki’s ice she soon came to realise. He looked over at her from a few meters away and started mumbling to himself about how weak the villains are. Mei and Todoroki were not on good terms ever since the first battle practice, she saw him approach one of the dozen frozen figures without saying anything to him. Then in a split second a man emerged from behind one of the frozen figures, Todoroki evidently didn’t spot the man in mid-air with 2 daggers in his hands, but Mei did. Her eyes turned black as she captured he man in her black mist like force bubble, the villain started trying to burst his way out when Todoroki eventually turned to Mei.

“You should really watch your back, good thing I was here man” Mei stated with a smirk as she threw the bubble down earning a loud groan from the villain.

“I don’t need your help but thanks” He replied with a blank face.

“Wanna fill me in on what you’re doing?” Mei asked expecting him to respond with a brief no.

“I’m going to get information about All Might out of them and then go back to help Aizawa” Todoroki explained.

“Okay cool you do that and I’ll set up communication between our class” Mei smiled

“How are you going to do that exactly?” Todoroki questioned

That my not so friendly friend is a company secret that I am not obliged to reveal. He looked cluelessly at Mei, wanting to ask why her eyes turned black in that moment and how he heard her voice clearly even though her lips didn’t move an inch.

Mei turned away from the villains and focussed on picturing everyone from her class, all their names, appearances and voices. This was set to be the most people she’s ever had in a mind link and she didn’t even know where they all were, so she knew it would put some strain on her maybe end with her receiving a nosebleed and a raging headache.

Hi guys this is Mei I’m currently in the landslide zone with Todoroki, I’ve set up a class mind link so we can all communicate. I’ll need one person from each group to tell us where they are, who they’re with and if they’re hurt.

Whoa Mei this is so cool! It’s Kirishima by the way and I’m with Bakugou in the ruins zone, we’re all good and we just kicked these villains’ butts!

Its Midoriya here I’m with Mineta and Tsuyu, we’re in the shipwreck zone and I think we’re okay for now.

Oijiro here I’m in the fire zone by myself but I am okay

Mei its Tokoyami and im with Koda, we are in the windstorm zone and everything is okay here

Mei its Jirou, me Yaoyorozu and Denki are in the mountain zone and we’re also okay

Mina here I’m with Sato, Sero, Uraraka, Shouji and Thirteen, we’re fine but I don’t think Thirteen is oh and Iida has finally made his way out!

Wow okay that’s great guys, I’m going to deactivate the class wide mind-link but you’ll all still be separately connected to me so if you need anything just let me know. The safest bet will be for everyone to stick to their groups and make their way back to the entrance. Oijiro the closest group to you is Jirou’s group if you want to join up with them. With that Mei ended the class wide mind link and her hand shot up to her nose where there was in fact a steam of blood flowing.

“Are you okay?” Todoroki asked

“Yeah I’m all good I’ve just never had such a large mind-link and it’s given me a fat headache, anyway I need to make another one because we need to go help Aizawa” Mei said wiping the remainder of the blood away as she readied herself for the second mind-link.

Hey it’s Mei again but this time it’s just me Bakugou, Kirishima and Todoroki. We need to go help Aizawa guys because there we’re a fuckton of villains there and when I spoke to Aizawa a second ago he told me not to come but he sounded like he was in a lot of pain!

Of course we’re going to fucking help Aizawa me and shitty hair are already on the way

Yeah Mei we’ll be there in like a minute!

Awesome me and Todoroki will meet you there, please be careful

I’M ALWAYS CAREFUL. With that done Mei and Todoroki looked at each other while taking mentally where Todoroki tells Mei that the quickest easiest way for them to get there would be via ice, Mei knowing that was a bunch of bullshit told Todoroki that he should just hold onto her while she teleports them here.

The pair arrive there to see the silhouettes of Kirishima and Bakugou running towards them at full speed. Mei sees the Midoriya group still in the water, she sends him a message saying that she and the others are going to free Aizawa and it’ll be up to Izuku to get him back to the entrance where they should be relatively safe. With a firm nod and thumbs up from Midoriya she starts telling the others about her plan.

I’ve got a plan do you guys want to hear it?

Hell yeah we do Mei!

Sure

Your plan is going to be shit but whatever.

Literally shut the fuck up before I teleport you to the bottom of the sea

Ooooooo damn burn

JUST FUCKING GET ON WITH THE PLAN ALREADY

I have to agree with him as I don’t think we have much time left

Bakugou you and Todoroki need to somehow get the Nomu away from Aizawa for a second so that Kirishima can scoop him away and get him to Midoriya. As soon as Aizawa is out you two retreat back and I’ll create a chain around all the villains that, with reinforcement from Todoroki’s ice, should hold until the Pros arrive. Has everyone got enough strength left in them to do the plan?

Of course I do, how weak do you think I am witch bitch

I’m all pumped and ready to go, that’s a really manly plan Mei

I agree, it’s a good plan and I too am ready

Awesome lets go team!

As Mei finishes speaking she sees the three boys charging at the beast. Bakugou is first in creating an explosion right in the beast’s face, shocking it for a second before it lets go of Aizawa and goes to punch Bakugou. Before it could reach him, Todoroki slides in creating an ice wall between the two which holds long enough for Kirishima to grab Aizawa. As the boys were fighting Mei stood back as she saw various weaker villains try to sneak up on the boys from behind, there was no way she would let that happen. Mei sent off energy blasts from her hands towards each of the villains. As the balls of black mist hit them, they began to fall like flies landing on the floor and clutching whichever limb got hit.

While Kirishima was running in the other direction with their beloved teacher who mumbles something about how they shouldn’t be there, Bakugou and Todoroki were still giving their all against the Nomu, fighting side by side with fire and ice. Bakugou was being his annoying self and getting all up in the creatures face and distracting it, while Todoroki slid around it locking it in place with as much ice as he could muster. A truly beautiful feat but it was at that moment when Mei noticed the frost being built up on Todoroki’s face and how Bakugou started rubbing his forearms, a clear sign that their quirks were starting to catch up to them. Mei didn’t want her friends to experience more of whatever level of pain they felt at that moment so she signalled her friends that they should retreat as shes going to set off her chain.

She closes her eyes imagining the strongest chain shes ever created, one that not even her brother can break through and it suddenly appears in a perfect circle encompassing all the villains. With the closing of her hands the chain contracts and pulls all the villains into each other causing the Nomu to slam into the smaller villains, which causes to let out cries of pain. Todoroki enacted the last part of the plan by sending a stream of ice all around the chain.

Mei’s eyes were still black as she was constantly having to rebuild the chain as the Nomu was sending punch after punch at the chain, she knew it wouldn’t hold for much longer as she could already feel herself getting weaker with each rebuild. Then the fateful moment arrived, the chain broke and the Nomu headed straight for Bakugou. Mei teleported herself in front of the boy only to have the beast grab her by the neck and lift her up 6 feet above the ground, before she could do anything she heard a loud booming voice yell out “I recommend you drop the girl now while you still can” It was All Might and even though she couldn’t physically breathe she let out a mental sigh of relief.

“You heard him, drop the girl Nomu” the crusty villain with a bunch of hands on his face said.

The Nomu did as its master said but unfortunately for Mei it didn’t put her down gently on the floor, no it launched her into a nearby building. With a split second before she caused the entire building to fall Mei created a dense energy field behind her that she hoped would stop her from well, dying. The last thing she saw before she passed out was Bakugou blasting his way towards her and screaming he name with a bunch of swears mixed in, while Kirishima and Todoroki raced after him.

Chapter 8: the other students are starting beef? Bet.

Notes:

Mineta: The feminists are taking over
*im an adult virgin*

As soon as Bakugou got to Mei the other pros arrived and he was able to let out a breath and started breathing again, he picked her up in his arms and carried her all the way from the sight of her crash all the way to Recovery Girl. Mei was by no means light, because as everyone knows she was 80% muscle, but Bakugou carried her like she was a singular bag of flour, there was not a single sign of struggle on his face. As he got out of the actual arena some of his classmates and pros said they would take her from him and go to the nurse themselves.

“If any of you fucking extras think for a second that I’m going to give her to you, you’re fucking stupid I can take her by myself” he spat loud enough for everyone to hear and walk away with their hands up in surrender. Bakugou’s eyes glanced at the girl and started muttering softly calling her stupid and that he can’t believe she would just jump in front of him like that. As he realised she wouldn’t be responding anytime soon his eyes softened and he let out a sigh. He then slid open the door to Recovery Gils office and saw the old woman sitting on a chair, she promptly got out of it as she noticed the unconscious girl in his arms.

“Put her down on the bed sweetheart and go wait outside for a minute” Recovery girl told Bakugou, somehow he didn’t curse out the old woman instead he did as he was told without his signature ‘tch’. As he sat outside the office he heard a mixture of loud voices running towards him, before he could even turn his head to look at who it was Kirishima yelled out to him.

“Hey Bakubro is Mei okay?!”

“Is she going to wake up?” Mina asked her voice breaking

“Oh my god is she dead?!!” Kaminari cried

“Don’t be fucking stupid you phone charger! She’s going to be fine Recovery Girl is with her now” Bakugou retorted

“I heard Midoriya and All Might were put in a separate room to her, so maybe something is actually wrong with her” Mineta butted in

“Listen here grape balls she’s fucking fine so you can fuck off!” Bakugou made his way towards the now cowering Mineta only for him to be stopped by Kirishima who told him it’s not worth it.

One of the schools teachers then interrupted the group and told them that unless they have an injury that they should all head home, and that they can visit their friend tomorrow. Most of the class did exactly as the teacher said, but the Baku-squad was different, they pretended to walk away and as soon as said teacher had left they rushed back to the infirmary to wait for news about Mei.

“You guys think we should get her some food and flowers for when she wakes up?” Kaminari spoke up breaking the silence.

“That’s such a good idea bro, she would love that!” Kirishima beamed.

“Let’s get her some spicy chicken ramen, that’s her favourite” Mina exclaimed quite proud of her knowledge of Mei’s favourite things

“Oo oo her favourite flower is a purple and white Dahlia!” Sero said profoundly which earned him confused stares from everyone in the group. “What just because you guys don’t talk to her doesn’t mean I don’t? We know each other’s favourite things, we just have that bond.”

This lead to the entire group yelling at Sero saying something along the lines of they talk to Mei literally everyday but it’s weird that he knows her favourite flower. “If you continue yelling like this my patient won’t want to wake up at all” Recovery Girl scolded the 5 friends.

“Is Mei okay?”

“Is she going to wake up soon?”

“How bad we’re her injuries”

The group all rose from their chairs and began bombarding recovery girl with questions. “Calm down my dears, your friends is perfectly fine she should wake up in the next hour or two. Her neck has some bruising from the Nomu that doesn’t want to go away, along with a few bruises and burn marks but she has no broken bones it seems something shielded her before she got hit, did any of you see anything” Recovery Girl explained

“She can produce powerful energy shields so it was probably one of those” Bakugou confessed.

“Ah yes well that would do the trick, we’ll I heard you talking about getting her flowers and something to eat so if you want to do that and be back by the time she wakes up I’d suggest leaving soon” the old woman suggested.

“Okay come on guys lets go we have to hurry” Mina shrieked

“You go I’ll wait with her” Bakugou stated, Kirishima sent his friend a quick wink before Mina grabbed hold of his hand and started dragging him away. Once they were all gone he went into the room to see her laying there with the bruising around her neck that recovery girl spoke about, it was a bright purple shade and the sheer sight of it stirred up strong feelings of regret inside him. These were feelings he wasn’t used to but he blamed himself for what happened to his friend, as in his head if he had just been faster Mei wouldn’t have had to teleport in front of him and she wouldn’t be here right now. He sat down in the chair next to her and didn’t say anything for the next 15 minutes, he just observed her stillness which was something no one in that class was used to, as they all come to know Mei to be an unnecessarily loud person in the short amount of time they had all been in the same class. After those 15 long minutes he began to speak quietly, half hoping Mei wouldn’t hear him.

“Listen here you flying bitch you shouldn’t have done that, it was reckless and stupid but that’s probably exactly why you did it right? I won’t fucking let it happen again, no one is going to get hurt because of me again.” He paused before saying “especially not a friend like you”

As he finished he saw Mei stir slightly before waking up. As she blinked into consciousness she began to quietly say “Wow if all it took for you to stop being a bitch and call me your friend was being slammed into a building, I would’ve done that weeks ago”

“Oh I regret saying anything, I preferred you in your comatose state, do me a favour and go back t fucking sleep” Bakugou chuckled

“And now you’re laughing while talking to me, I died I knew it, this really is heaven” Mei retorted.

“Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but when you die you’re going straight down to hell where you belong” Bakugou said with his face returning to its original form.

“That’s fine because I know at some point when you die you’ll go straight down and join me. Also if you haven’t noticed im pretty much the best person ever so Satan will love me and make me his queen” Mei giggled and Bakugou simply huffed with a slight smile appearing on his face

“All jokes aside I am glad that you’re ok-“Bakugou got cut off by their classmates all storming into the infirmary.

“Wifeyyyyyyy” Mina yelled out as she pushed through her classmates and ran straight for Mei and engulfed her in a tight hug. The rest of the Baku-squad followed Minas lead and crushed Mei while the rest of the class stood there with huge smiles on their faces holding the gifts for Mei. They were all halfway home when they got a series of texts from Mina saying Mei was about to wake up and hey planned to bring her something to eat along with flowers. The whole class turned around and made their way back to the school and were now in the infirmary talking and laughing with everyone else, even Todoroki managed to let out a laugh at some point. Maybe he wasn’t so bad after all Mei thought to herself.

“The fact that you managed to put up a shield in like a second to stop yourself from getting your entire back shattered is majorly impressive my dude!” Kaminari complimented his best friend.

“Bro you weren’t there how do you know I put up a shield, but thank you I kinda didn’t feel like getting killed by that weird Nomu thing” Mei questioned

“Oh basically Recovery Girl asked how you managed to not die and Bakugou said you can make powerful shields so we just assumed” Mina filled her friend in to which Mei’s only response was to thank her friend and he simply told her to die.

“Mei sweetheart someone is here to pick you up so all your friends are going to have to go unfortunately, so off you pop my lovelies” Recovery Girl interrupted. Everyone said a quick goodbye to Mei leaving only the Baku-squad still in the room with her as she collected her belongings. Just before she left the room she used a sliver of her power to warp her appearance so that she had her own clothes on instead of a hospital gown. Of course her choice was her usual attire of a sports bra (with a regular one underneath) black cargo pants and a pair of black lace up doc martens, she was a fan of the cargo pants for 3 reasons; number 1 is that they were loose and apart from her super suit Mei hated tight clothing, number 2 they had a lot of pockets and finally number 3 the pockets were as deep as men’s pockets.

“I know all of that is easy for you but it still amazes me that you can just change clothes like that because of your quirk” Kaminari confessed.

“I’m just amazing what can I say, if any of you ever need an outfit change just hit me up” Mei smirked at her friends as they all left the infirmary saying a last goodbye to Recovery Girl. They had just left the room and headed for the stairs as Mei heard a familiar voice yell call out her name. Behind them stood Shinsou whose eyes showed that he was clearly worried sick about his friend. Mei dropped her school bag and made her way over to Shinsou, he matched her steps and arrived before Mei wrapping his arms around her. It didn’t take long for her to match the gesture and bury her face in his neck, all she could think of was how nice he smelt and how warm and encompassing his hug was. Without breaking the embrace he softly asked Mei.

“Are you okay, I heard about the villain attack but I didn’t know you were injured until I saw everyone in your class apart from you walk into the infirmary” It was at that point Mei let go of her friend and placed both her hands on his shoulders.

“I’m fine I may have got thrown into a building by a weird villain creation but it takes more than that to knock me down, I’m sorry I worried you angel” Mei’s face grew softer as she said the last words.

“I will always worry about you because you’re one of the most reckless people I know, but I’m glad you’re okay do you want me to take you home?” Shinsou offered platonically.

“My brother is outside I think, but I’ll text you when I get home and we still have to plan our meet as the last one doesn’t count” Mei said as she embraced him once again before making her way over to her friends who were impatiently waiting.

“Wow you spend two hours with a girl and she says it doesn’t count, why must you always hurt me so Mei-Mei” Shinsou cried placing his hand on his heart pretending to be hurt.

 “I hurt you because I adore you oh dearest one and I’m not that reckless. Bye eye bags I’ll see you soon!” Mei yelled out already being halfway down the stairs. Shinsou watched her leave the school as he leaned over the banister with a slight smile on his face, he really did love having her as a friend.

“What kind of stupid nickname is Mei Mei?” Bakugou scoffed.

“I can’t believe Mei has friends other than us” Kaminari cried

“Oh shut up the pair of you I might be tired as shit but I’ll still kick your as-“Mei was interrupted but yet another lung crushing hug. She wondered if her poor body was going to catch a break that day.

Kenji was back and Mei couldn’t be more excited to see her brother, of course they had been texting every day since he’s been away but it was nice seeing him in person. “If you hadn’t just gotten your ass handed to you, I would’ve done it now”

“So you’ve been gone a week and that’s the first thing you manage to say to me when i almost died?” Mei scoffed

“Oh pish posh you didn’t die, but I am glad you’re okay otherwise I would’ve gone slightly insane without you around” Kenji said as he let go of his sister.

“Um Mei are you going to introduce us to your friend?” Kaminari interjected.

“He’s not her friend you stupid piece of shit that’s her brother” Bakugou spat.

“I guess you’re Bakugou then from the colourful language, did my sister teach you that or have you always been like this?” Kenji chuckled as he stuck his hand out waiting for Bakugou to shake it.

“If anything she got this from me” Bakugou responded as he shook his hand.

“I’m Seki Kenji, its lovely to meet you all” he said as he bowed his head. The gang each took turns introducing themselves, once they were finished Kaminari turned to Mei and said,

“Mei did you know your brother was the 4^th best student in the school?!”

“You know what I had no idea! Kenji how dare you hide this from me, I trusted you and you betrayed me!” Mei cried.

“Alright alright it’s time for me to take Mei home, I would drop you all off but unfortunately there’s not enough space for all of you, so if you want I can take you to the train station in rounds but if not I’ll just steel Mei and Bakugou since he lives near us and you guys can text Mei when you get home safely” Kenji remarked as the 4 of them agreed that they would all walk to the train station together.

The remaining trio got into Kenji’s car with Mei calling shotgun and Bakugou sitting in the back. Mei explained to her brother exactly what happened at USJ, she then answered some of her brother’s questions and the last thing he said before he started talking to Bakugou was “Well I’m proud of you for managing to upgrade mind-link, come up with a fantastic plan and managing to save your friend, you did well sis”.

He reached over and squeezed Mei’s hand. “So Bakugou how is hero training going?” he asked

“Its fine but most of our classmates don’t fucking take it seriously so I can kick their asses in a second” Bakugou retorted.

“Fucking hell you’re honest aren’t you and what do you think of Mei?” Kenji continued on laughing while he asked.

“Yeah I don’t think I want to know, he literally just admitted we’re friends like 20 minutes ago, I don’t want that to change” Mei said while looking from one boy to the other.

“Mei is one of the only ones who actually have potential but I can still kick her ass” Bakugou said while looking straight at Mei.

“Haha you wish you could beat me, I would literally demolish you in a fight quirk or no quirk” Mei giggled.

“Fucking fight me then you little shit” Bakugou quickly responded

“Listen fuck knuckle, pick a date and I will show you that I won’t even have to break a sweat to crush you into nothing” Mei threatened and the pair began bickering as if they’ve know each other for years.

Kenji could only laugh at the pair, they were so similar in the worst possible way and simultaneously very different, he was certain that there would never be a quiet moment as long as those two were around. “I can see why you two are friends, you both swear like pirates and you’re both cocky cunts, Mei you seem to be less of a cunt than Bakugou but still cunty”

“What the fuck did you just say” the pair yelled out simultaneously. It was just then that they arrived at the Bakugou household, with a quick goodbye, he left the car and the Seki siblings drove off back to their own house.

“Mum I’m hom-“Mei was cut off with yet another bone crushing hug, she was sure the next one she received would actually break bone.

“Are you okay? Who did this to you? Did you kick their ass? Are you still hurt?” Mei’s mother questioned frantically.

“If you keep crushing me like this I will actually be hurt” Mei struggled to say, but once her mother let her go she was able to catcher breath and answer the rest of the questions “Yes I’m okay, it was a Nomu a weird creature made by villains and I didn’t kick his ass but All Might did”

“God I can’t believe that school letting villains in so easily, is your teacher alright? I heard he got hurt protecting you lot” Aiko continued

“I think he’s okay, he got his face smashed in but me and the lads managed to get him out and he was telling us off as Kirishima ran off with him” Mei responded, when suddenly a loud bang emerges from the front door being slammed open.

“I leave you alone for one day, one MOTHERFUCKING day and you manage to get hospitalized?!” A furious Hina roared.

“Yell at me all you want but please don’t hug me I think my ribs are cracked from all this hugging” Mei spoke with her hands in front of her.

“Would you be so kind as to explain exactly what happened before I beat the shit out of you as well?” Hina asked and Mei wanting this whole day to be over gave her mother and Hina a run-down of the day’s events. Once that was over they all sat down to eat and spend the rest of the night watching movies until Mei fell asleep on the couch, forcing Kenji to carry her upstairs to her room where he tucked her in and placed a kiss on her forehead.

 

Mei woke up at 6:10am and at first she thought it was a dream because there was no way she would still be alive if she was late for training. Once she rubbed her eyes and looked back at her phone she saw it was in fact 6:10am so without a second thought she teleported and started profusely apologising to her brother who could only respond with hysterical laughter.

“What exactly is so funny?” Mei looked very confused at his reaction.

“You seriously think I’m going to make you train after you were injured, I know I’m mean but im not a complete bastard” Kenji retorted

“So we’re really not training today?” Mei said still confused.

“Nah you have an extra 2 hours now to just chill and then I’ll drive you to school, oh and I can take Bakugou on the way now that I know where he lives” Kenji suggested and Mei thanked her brother for her extra free time.

my brother?

Mei-Mei

He told me I get to have the day off

because of yesterday

Mei-Mei

I’m so happy I could shit myself

Mei decided to use her spare time to catch up on some sleep since most nights she goes to sleep around 1am and then has to wake up 5 and a bit hours later. She ended up waking up 10 minutes before they were scheduled to leave, she teleported downstairs and quickly ate breakfast before using the downstairs bathroom to brush her teeth and change into her school clothes using her quirk. Kenji then yelled at Mei to get into the car because he didn’t want to be late in picking up Bakugou.

“I really doubt Bakugou is going to care if we’re late” Mei snorted

“Well I’d rather not risk it with his temper” Kenji retorted and all Mei could say was that he was all bark and no bite. They arrived at Bakugou’s house, the boy got in and said a quick hi to the siblings before they set off. About halfway through the journey Mei’s phone started going off with message notifications.

It’s all good boo thang, I’ll see you in

a bit :*

“Ooo who’s that your little boyfriend” Kenji teased

“Haha very funny you know you should start your own comedy show, it’s Shinsou” Mei retorted

“And who the fuck is Shinsou?” Kenji questioned

“Mei’s weird purple haired friend from general studies” Bakugou butted in before Mei could.

“He’s not weird you fuck face, he’s a much better friend than you are and if the entrance exam had real villains instead of robots he would definitely be in our class instead of that fucking pervert Mineta” Mei defended her friend.

“Wow your class has a pervert too? Has he said anything about you?” Kenji asked

“No not since I threatened to kill him via mind-link one day” Mei scoffed which caused both Kenji and Bakugou to laugh. The trio shortly arrived in the car park and they made their way to their classrooms when Mei saw Shinsou.

For someone who woke up late this morning your eye bags just don’t seem to leave

We’ll aren’t you lovely in the mornings, I’m assuming the blonde next to you is a bad influence

Funny you think he has the power to influence me

So you mean to tell me you’ve been like this all your life? To that Mei shot up a middle finger which earned her one back from Shinsou along with a smile. Bakugou and Mei arrived in class to see all their friends gathered around Kirishima at his desk talking, once the red head saw the pair he called them over and the group started talking about how long it would for Aizawa to return.

“There’s no way he’ll be back this soon even the manliest man would need time off” Kirishima expressed.

“No I bet any money he’ll be back today” Mei said

“You’re fucking stupid there’s no way he’ll be back so soon” Bakugou scoffed. Before any of the other friends could give their opinions Aizawa made his way into the classroom.

Once he got everyone to settle down and stop fussing over him, he told the kids that the annual sports festival was going to be going on despite the recent villain attack. Aizawa explained that this was the perfect opportunity for them to be scouted before their internships took place, since it was only 2 weeks away he let the class go and begin training.

Suddenly a massive group of people amassed before the 1-A classroom. Mei and her friends got up to see who was outside and they heard Iida ask “What is your business with Class A?”

“They’re scouting out the enemy, small fry” Bakugou spat. “We’re the ones who made it out of the villain attack, they wanna check us out before the sports festival now out of my way extras!” Iida being the sensitive soul he is yelled at Bakugou for calling people extras.

Then suddenly Mei’s purple haired friend pushed through the crowd to say “I came to see the famous 1-A for myself and it turns out you’re all pretty arrogant. Are all the students in the hero course like this? Well maybe all except one” He looked at Mei as he said the last part and Mei responded by blowing over a kiss.

Shinsou carried on “There are a bunch of people in general studies and other courses that didn’t make it into the hero course, now depending on the sports festival we might get transferred into this course and so some will get transferred out. So I came with a declaration of war”

There was then a moment of silence that Kaminari broke by crying out “Mei shouldn’t you control your friend?”

“Why would I he’s on a roll and he does have a point, I sincerely hope Mineta gets kicked out and Shinsou joins our class” Mei scoffed with her arms folded.

“Mei why would you say something so hurtful” Mineta exclaimed to which Mei replied with a middle finger.

Kirishima joined in on the conversation “Bakugou what are you going to do since it’s your fault they’re hating on us?”

“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter as long as you rise to the top” Bakugou scowled before looking over his shoulder towards his friends but maintained eye contact with Mei “You coming or not?”

“Hell yeah lets go” Mei gathered her things and made her way over to Bakugou, she stopped just in front of Shinsou “I’ll see you later” she said with a smile on her face. Leading to Shinsou getting a few pats on the back and ‘whoo’s’ thrown at him. Bakugou and Mei walked away together and made their way to the train station, Bakugou with his hands in his pockets and Mei walking shoulder to shoulder with

“You got first place in the entrance exam didn’t you?” Mei asked.

“Yup beat you by a point” Bakugou stated.

“Shut the fuck up that’s not the point, I was going to ask what are you going to say if they ask you to say something before the ceremony?” she said while hitting her friend repeatedly.

“That’s a fucking stupid question I’ll just make something up on the spot” Katsuki replied swatting Mei’s hands away.

“If you say something Bakugou-esque everyone will hate you and I’ll just laugh” Mei commented as she pushed Bakugou away

“Do I look like I give a fuck about what people think? If you keep hitting me im going to take that as an invitation for a fight and I’ll beat the shit out of you” Bakugou scowled.

“I can absolutely guarantee if we have a fight today my brother will kill both me and you, so I’ll take a rain check on that” The two of them arrived at the split road when Mei asked Bakugou if he wanted to come round her house, but he ended up telling her he needs to go train and some shit like that.

Chapter 9: pre-sports festival fun

Notes:

ahahah a-levels and shit grades am i right? oh the pain.

 

“1 week, we got 1 week before the sports festival, if you don’t want to take this seriously just tell me and I’ll go train with my friends and you can train with yours” Kenji scoffed in annoyance while staring at his sister who was laying on the ground gazing up at the sky.

“I could kick both of our friends’ asses so unfortunately you’re the only one who puts up a challenge and we’ve been training all week so I can’t really be fucked if im being honest” Mei scoffed getting back up into position and throwing the first punch, Kenji smirked and dodged only to send a kick in Mei’s direction.

The pair were going at it hand to hand for half an hour exchanging kicks, punches and all sorts of martial arts movements that their father taught them, it finally ended when Mei saw her brother lunge towards her and instead of easily dodging it she leaned into it taking the full force of her brothers hit.

“You could’ve easily avoided that and you know it, what is your issue?” He asked seemingly annoyed, Mei paused for a second before answering to steady her voice.

“What if everyone hates me because I beat them in a second when they’re putting in so much effort, my class knows about my quirk but I haven’t fully used it. So what happens if I get angry and I don’t know really hurt someone” She spun her long black hair around her finger.

Kenji could see that this was a topic that upset his sister, all her life she had to hold back because of how easily she could rip someone’s life from them. Due to her never using the full extent of her quirk she didn’t really know how to control it or even what she was capable of. “Listen I know you’re scared but you have to remember that you’ve made it this far without hurting someone, so you’re obviously capable of controlling it and yourself. When you’re at the arena everyone is going to be giving it their all so they can’t expect you to do anything else, everyone there is training to be a hero so they understood the risks as soon as they got into U.A. okay?”

 By this point Mei had tears in her eyes and Kenji had his hands on her shoulders and pulled her into a tight hug. “If it gets too much and you think you’re literally going to rip someone’s head off then worst case scenario you walk away. Plus knowing you and your extra self you’ll overuse your quirk in the first and second match and by the finals you’ll pass out from overusing your quirk, so you won’t have the chance to hurt anyone.”

Mei proceeded to let out a laugh and wipe away her tears. “You’re an asshole but you know I love you right?”

“Oh I know and I love you too dipshit” Kenji ruffled his sisters hair and pulled her inside where they ate breakfast but before long Kenji got a text from his friends and ran out the door toast in mouth struggling to get his jacket on.

Mei was ready to spend the rest of the day training her quirk by herself in her garden, when she got a phone call from Mina “Hey babe wanna come out to get some food?”

“Oh fuck yeah I was just going to train all day so you saved me from torture you angel, is it just a girls day or are the boys coming too?” Mei asked.

“Well Kami, Kiri and Sero said yes as soon as I mentioned food but Bakugou obviously said no” Mina replied.

“I’ll call Bakugou and try to get his dumbass to come” Mei scoffed

“Dude I don’t know whether you’re brave or crazy, both probably but we’re meeting outside of Kami’s house so I’ll text you the addy and good luck with bomb boy” Mina laughed and hung up the phone.

After she got off the phone she went up to her mirror and did some winged eyeliner, she decided to FaceTime the angry blonde instead of texting him. A few rings went by and Mei started to worry that he wouldn’t pick up but suddenly a voice rang out.

“The fuck do you want?”

“Hi Bakugou, I’ve missed you too, awh yeah I know we’ve been talking everyday but it’s been so long since I saw your gorgeous face” Mei said sarcastically to which Bakugou only raised an eyebrow. “I heard you didn’t want to meet up with us today, surely you can take a break from being miserable for once”

“Why would I want to meet up with you dipshits when all you’ll do is piss me off” He scoffed

“Wow bitch I expected nothing less from you, now that that’s over the next topic is which outfit is better” The first outfit she phased herself into was a long sleeve black dress with red roses on it, paired with heeled ankle boots. The second was a pair of beige flare trousers and a button up black crop top that showed off her toned abs, with that she added her favourite lace up doc martens.

“Since when are you so ripped?” Bakugou asked.

“Well I do train pretty fucking hard so it would make sense and im guessing the answer to my question is number 2 huh?” She said with a wink as she twirled showing off her whole outfit to her friend.

“Definitely number 2” he simply stated, not taking his eyes off her as she styled her hair.

“You got good taste buddy boy, I’ve got to go meet up with the others, is there nothing I can do to change your mind?” She asked on her way down the stairs to say goodbye to her mum.

He took a minute to respond but ultimately he said “No fucking way, but text me when you get home”

With a quick ‘will do’ to Bakugou and a goodbye to her mum she left and made her way to Kaminari’s house, which surprisingly wasn’t that far. She teleported onto the train which was actually part of her training with her brother, she was a pro when it came to teleporting anywhere but moving objects were a challenge. She took this extra bit of free time as an excuse to scroll through her socials, usually she does this on a daily as most people do but because of sports festival training she just didn’t have the time or energy. Once she got off at the stop it only took her about 5 minutes to find the group of her closest friends all screaming at each other, they all paused and as the grins on their faces grew wider Mina ran up to Mei and engulfed her in a hug.

 She adored being hugged by her friends, as she was always so cold, the powers that ran through her veins felt like ice leaving her cold all the time. During training when she’s sweating she can’t feel the cold but as soon as she stops the feeling comes right back. The feeling being that shes a frozen vacant void of a human.

“Holy shit Mei you have better abs than I do!” Kirishima yelled out with a scarlet blush coating his face.

“We need a side by side comparison of this like right now” Sero exclaimed

“Mei you look hot” Kaminari said while low-key simping over Mei

“Hi guys it’s nice to see you, I’ve missed you too. But im also happy to oblige, Kiri get your ass over here” Mei gestured towards her red haired friend.

Kirishima skipped over towards Mei and lifted his shirt up enough to show off his bod without actually being shirtless, though everyone knew he had no issues walking around without a shirt. She reached over to her friend and pocked one of his abs and gave a thumbs up of approval which lead to another blush appearing, it was at that point Mina started yelling at the two to pose for a picture. Kirishima wrapped his strong arm around Mei while she snaked her arm around his waist, the two were laughing at Kaminari and Sero who were pouting behind Mina complaining about how Mei was showing them up. Mina managed to capture the perfect candid photo of the duo, they were laughing while facing each other, Kirishima still had his shirt scrunched up in his hand while Mei’s free hand was to her side pointing at her toned body. Without even having to ask, Mina sent the pictures into their groups and they were instantly saved to everyones camera roll, well everyones bar Bakugou’s who responded with a ‘why the fuck did you send me these’.

The laughter eventually died down and the group made their way over to a restaurant where everyone ordered their favourites. “How can you handle such spicy food man, that shit burns my tongue!” Mina gasped as she tried a piece of Mei’s dish.

“It’s not that spicy you’re just a baby, baby” Mei retorted.

“Yeah exactly you’re just over reacting” Kaminari laughed which was followed by Kirishima and Sero agreeing with him.

“Okay you bitches, since you think you’re all that you eat her devil food!” Mina challenged  and the boys did just that.

They really did try to put on brave faces and pretend not to be effected by the spice, but they all broke and started gulping down water as though it was the first thing they drank all year after being stuck in a desert. Mei being Mei she just had to interject “Pussies the lot of you, it’s not even that hot you’re just over reacting”

“No bro you just have taste buds of steel, super manly but also scary” Kirishima gasped in the middle of downing water.

“Who hurt you man? Why are you like this?” Sero questioned

“She’s a masochist bro obviously” Kaminari simply stated.

“Shut your stupid ass up, you don’t even know what a masochist is you virgin” Mei retorted

“Oh Mei how I adore you, this is why you’re my wife” Mina giggled as she threw her arms around the purple eyed girl.

Conversation among the group carried on as they exchanged their usual jokes and insults, eventually they left the restaurant and walked throughout the town stopping at each and every ice cream and sweet food stand to satisfy their cravings. After a few hours of walking and talking golden hour struck so the gang found a nearby park, where they decided to take even more group photos. Now if you were a slight misogynist you’d think it was Mina and Mei who wanted the pictures, but it was actually the 3 lads who were dying for more.  

This time Kaminari, Mei and Sero lined up in a row with their shoulders touching and they had Kirishima jump at them and they caught him. Mei held his hips, Sero his feet and Kaminari held his head, whoever thought it was a good idea for Kaminari to hold his head was clearly delusional. While the quartet were goofing off Mina snapped multiple photos being the professional she is. They all took turns being the photographer and once everyone took their shots Mei created a tripod to hold the phone so they could all get into the picture. Mei managed to snap a few photos but was interrupted by a FaceTime notification from Hina, instead of telling her to call her back she wanted her best friends to get to know each other.

They got their initial introductions out of the way and as the group made their way to the bus station Hina had a story to tell. “So we’re in the middle of mock dissections and one of my friends bumps into me just as im about to cut into the body and I slip and hit an artery. At that point my professor manages to walk past and I shit you not blood goes all over him and I’ve never seen someone look at me with so much hatred in their eyes” Once she was done and everyone finished laughing Mei told them she was going to head to the station using a known short-cut, so she said goodbye to the group and walked through her alleyway, it wasn’t the first time she went there. It really was a great short-cut instead of a 25 minute walk it turns into 5 minutes, you just had to face flickering lights and a potential annoying mugger nothing Mei wasn’t accustomed to so she just carried on talking to Hina.

“They honestly seem amazing im not going to lie to you” Hina stated

“They really fucking are even Bakugou is cool, he might not show he likes us but I can tell he’s a softy” Mei laughed only to be interrupted with an incoming call. “Well speak of the devil, I’ll have to call you back baby”

“What’s up Baku-bitch” Mei quipped while simultaneously feeling a drunk guy inching closer to her from behind, god could she not get a break from them he was either going to mug her or try something perverted, it was a coin toss at this point.

“I thought I told you to text me when you got home” he simply stated.

“Yeah you did and since I’m not home yet therefore I haven’t messaged you, funny how these things work huh?” Mei said sarcastically

“It’s almost 8 why the fuck aren’t you home yet” Bakugou spat and the man now decided to yell at Mei asking her how much it is for a night.

“Dude you’re drunk just go home okay, and to answer your question, I was having fun with friends so I stayed out ergo I am not home, also its only 8 I’m not a child bro” Mei carried on walking even though the guy was sluggishly following

“Who the fuck is drunk, what’s going on” Bakugou asked hurriedly, the guy continues sluing his words saying all kinds of things, none of which were pleasant.

“I’m walking through a short cut to the train station and there’s some drunk guy being annoying but we move” Mei quipped, it was then the man started shouting which really pissed Mei off as it was ruining her great mood.

“Where the fuck are you, send me your locati-“Bakugou was shouting at this point.

“Yeah Bakubro im going to have to call you back, I need to deal with this bitch before his voice rips through my skull once more” Mei exclaimed as she hung up on her friend and turned to face the man.

She figured her best course of action would be to get close to him and make him lower his guard by being a flirt. So that’s what she did “Hey baby sorry it took me so long to properly notice you, how about we go somewhere quiet?” After she said that and twirled her hair around her finger as seductively as she could for a 15 year old, the perv approached her and it was in that moment she covered her knee in her black mist and swiftly slammed his face into her knee. With the quick sound of a broken nose, she grabbed the man by the collar and transported to the nearest Hero Company. It just so happened to be the Solar Flare Hero Agency, as she walked through the door a bunch of sidekicks stared at her as though she were crazy.

“Um hi, this guys had a little too much to drink and was hitting on minors, then he um fell and broke his nose” Mei said as she straightened her back trying not to be intimidated by all the strong pro hero’s in the room. “I know you’re meant to go to the police with assholes like this but I don’t trust them so do with him what you will, yeah that’s it bye and thanks for the good work!” As soon as she was done with that and gave a slight bow of respect to the Heros she teleported herself to the train station.

As she arrived she sae that she missed her train by the skin of her teeth and although she had teleported too many times in a short period of time, there was no way she could wait another 25 minutes for the next train. Fists clenched, she focused on getting on the train, a little nose bleed and headache was worth it. In the blink of an eye she was in fact on the train with only a slight headache and no nose bleed, seems like training was in fact working and on her way back home so she decided to call back Hina. “What’s up buttercup?”

“The last 5 minutes have been very interesting, would you like to hear what’s happened?” Hina of course was thrilled to hear what happened so Mei gave her a brief run-down of the events. The pair giggled and talked as they always do and soon the train came to a stop, Mei had to cut her and Hina’s conversation short again as a familiar blonde was standing across the platform with small explosions going off from his hands.

“Awh was someone worried about me?” Mei teased her friend.

“Of course I fucking wasn’t, I knew you could handle yourself” Bakugou scoffed

“Then why are you here? Could it be you’re mad about missing out on friend time so now you’re trying to make up for it with me?” she asked

“I’m just going to fucking leave you, you piece of shit” Bakugou spat and marched off in front of his friend.

Mei skipped forward, grabbed hold of his arm and wrapped his arms around her own “No no please don’t leave, and it’s cute you care you know I can see through your façade, I know that you care about me and the rest of the fuckwads”

Never had a ‘tch’ left his lips faster than in that moment, but with his lack of swearing Mei knew she hit the nail on the head. “You really should come with us next time you know”

“Whatever, by the way the old hag wants to meet you” Bakugou muttered.  

“Sorry who the fuck is the old hag? Why does she want to meet me exactly?” Mei asked.

“My fucking mother and because when you called me earlier I ran out of my house to get to the train station and she wants to know why I did it, so your stupid ass can explain it to her” Bakugou glared at Mei still walking arm in arm.

Mei was quite good with adults, she had yet to meet someone who didn’t like her but this time Bakugou ran out and his mother was sure to be mad at the two of them. “Meeting the parents already am I? Wow I didn’t know we were this serious, I think we’re moving a little too fast though can we slow down?”

“Literally shut the fuck up I would never date a piece of shit like you”

“Well fuck our relationship ended so soon, was it the fact that I’m better than you in everything? Because personally if we’re breaking up I have to tell you that you’re too jealous and over protective and as hot as that is, you’re just doing it too much baby” Mei spoke dramatically, waving her free hand all around the place as she grabbed Bakugou’s hand with her other one and interlocked their fingers.

“I hate you so much, just go home I’ll tell the hag something came up” he was clearly annoyed at this point.

As much as she didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of his parents, she wanted to know what they were like and she especially wanted to know what his bedroom looked like, was it immaculate with everything perfectly in place? Or was it an absolute tip due to his slight anger issues, probably the former. “No please I would love to meet your parents, I’m just worried they’ll hate me but to be fair if they love your annoying ass I should be okay right? Anything in specific I should avoid doing?” Bakugou then explained that his mother was a bitch but she was a chill bitch. “Should I just teleport us in?”

“Fine but I swear to fuck if you teleport us someplace weird I’ll kick your ass” Bakugou scolded.

“I promise it’ll be just to your house, we’ll go somewhere cool though next time, so this might feel a little weird first time you can close your eyes if you want” Mei offered

“I’m not a fucking pussy I don’t need to close my eyes, so just get on with it witchy!” He yelled and Mei did just as instructed. She teleported them to just outside of his front door while their hands were still interlocked, Bakugou kept his eyes open and Mei decided to slow the teleportation so her friend could see what she sees each time. What usually happens in the blink of an eye was slowed to almost a minute so he could truly take in the views.

The only way to explain what the in-between space during teleporting looked like was a Nebula, a mix of greens, blues and pinks interacted together with white stars mixing in here and there which stretched forever, as far as the human eye could see. Her polarised vision through her now black eyes made all the colours seem more vivid as there were no identifiable shapes to mess things up for her, though others cannot see exactly what she sees, she has a feeling the sight is glorious regardless.

 Mei was used to the exquisite sight but for everyone who travelled with her it was something that made them speechless, no matter who they were. Bakugou was no exception to this as Mei looked over at him she realised that she had never seen his face so at peace, his mouth was agape while his eyes were glazed and had the Nebula reflected in them and his hand was tightly wrapped around her own. She wasn’t sure whether he was clinging on out of fear or as a way to make sure Mei was also paying attention to what was around them, if only she could’ve taken a picture of this because she was sure it was a once in a life time kind of sight.

“Hey you ready to go home? We can come here whenever you want angel” Mei spoke softly as to not startle the awe stricken boy, but Bakugou was too entranced to verbally respond so he just shook his head in confirmation. Once they got back Mei took a second to make sure her friend was okay, only to have him yell at her for being overdramatic “You know you can just admit that you enjoyed the view okay, no one’s going to blame you for it man”

“Just shut the fuck up and let’s go in” he responded and got an ‘aye aye captain’ from Mei.

The pair made their way into the two storey house where Bakugou was greeted by his mother, who is a carbon copy of him just with bigger boobs, with a bunch of swearing and yelling about him running out without saying where he was going. She eventually stopped scolding her son and turned to Mei who was biting her lip to keep herself from exploding with laughter. “You must be the Mei my stupid son has told me so much about you” She squeezed the girl as she embraced her” Without wasting a second Mei wrapped her arms around Bakugou’s mother.  

“I would normally say all good things I hope but this is him we’re talking about so I bet he was chatting a load of shit” Mei realised what she did and although she just heard Bakugou’s mother swear, she didn’t want her to not like her because of what she said “um I meant a load of stuff”

Mitsuki could only laugh at the girl telling her it was nothing compared to what comes out of their mouths on a daily, she then dragged Mei to the kitchen. Mei looked back at Bakugou and his father and shot up a thumbs up to show that she thought it’s a good start, all she got from Bakugou was a scoff and from his father a slight smile. “Now Mei sweetheart I hope you can handle a bit of spice because that’s pretty much all we eat here”

“Oh I love spicy food so don’t you worry about me” Mei confidently responded

“Yeah right, you say that but you’ll be crying like a little bitch in a minute” Bakugou growled.

“Okay how much do you want to bet that I can handle more spice than you fucker” Mei challenged walking up to face Bakugou.

“What the fuck did you say you little shit?!” Bakugou yelled as he got even closer to Mei’s face, clearly trying to be intimidating, it didn’t work obviously.

“All those explosions causing you to go deaf boom boy?” Mei laughed, Bakugou already had started to set off explosions in his hands when his mother interrupted the two with her laughter.

“I can see why he considers you such a good friend, not many people have the balls to get up in the little shits face and match his threats”

Everyone eventually settled down at the dinner table with Mei sitting opposite Bakugou in the middle of the table, with his parents sitting on each end. They all talked while they ate making conversation about things like the hero course and Mitsuki used this as an opportunity to get to know Mei better, so she asked her all sorts of questions which prompted Bakugou to tell his mother that she should stop drilling Mei before she ends up hating her. The meal was finished and Mitsuki told her son to walk Mei home while she washed up, once she said goodbye Mitsuki told Mei that she was welcome anytime she wanted and that she should come round for a weekly dinner. Mei was then rudely dragged out by her friend who clearly was fed up of her getting along so well with his mother “I think your mum likes me you know”

“You’re not fucking special she likes all of my friends” Bakugou retorted.

“You know somehow I doubt you’ve brought home many friends, actually I doubt you’ve ever had friends. You definitely had followers but I doubt you had any friends as a kid because of your superiority complex” Mei giggled.

“Yeah whatever, I guess it’s good that my mother met you and not one of the other dipshits first” he muttered.

“Your compliments keep getting better and better over time, one day you’ll be smooth enough that you just might find yourself a significant other” Mei joked as she prepared a portal for her to walk through but stopped just before her foot went in “Do you want to train together before the festival?”

“Sure witchy but the second you become useless I’m sending you home” Bakugou smirked and the two decided that they would do their sessions in the mornings, with that done Mei went home and got herself ready for sleep. Though before she forgot she sent Kenji a mind-link so he wouldn’t be surprised when he sees Mei training with Bakugou that week.

Hey ugly I’m going to be training with a friend tomorrow morning so you can go to your own buddies, that’s if they even want you around

Finally I get rid of you oh what a great day and for your information my friends would love to train with me, you know im kind of a big deal so there is already a list of people who made appointments to train with me

Yeah right whatever I was going to say you can join but it seems your cockiness got the best of you

You think I want to train with first years? You on your own is fine but some other puny 1-A trainee hero would totally ruin my street cred

Okay sure cool whatever goodnight bro… I love you and sweet dreams

I love you too asshat sleep well

The following morning she ran to her front door to open it to see Bakugou dressed in his signature black attire, Mei asked if he was ready to start and with a quick nod the two began their run, after all it wasn’t a good training session if there wasn’t a run involved. One they got back they agreed that their control over their quirks was strong enough that they should just focus on sparring, Mei was stronger when it came to hand to hand combat but that didn’t mean Bakugou couldn’t hold his own.

Mei let Bakugou attack first with his signature left hook, this was definitely going to be something Mei corrected her friend on. Once she dodged that she went in to knee him in the stomach since he was within kicking distance, she made contact and he was thrown back. Evidently displeased with the fact Mei managed to kick him he ran in ready to knock her off her feet by putting all his strength into one punch, but Mei moved her body to avoid it and put her hand around his neck and snaked her leg behind his and managed to knock him over.

“You know you shouldn’t be so predictable, the opening left hook and putting all your power into kicks and punches is starting to get old. Next time try to fake a few here and there and pull back a little so people can’t read all your moves.” Mei explained as she reached out her hand to help her friend up.

“Again” Bakugou simply responded getting back into his fighting stance.

As they began fighting again Mei noticed that Bakugou did in fact listen to what Mei said, he didn’t start off with a punch instead he went in with a kick, a nice switch up to his usual. This was the main reason why Mei loved training with him, he always listened to what she said and even though he doesn’t much like receiving criticism he takes it like a champ and continues to improve himself.

The session continued with the two of them giving their all, only for them to be interrupted by Mei’s mother who came with the offer of refreshments. “You think we can call it a day?” Mei asked.

“You getting soft on me witch bitch?” Bakugou chuckled.

“Hardly I just figured you could use a break, it can’t be easy carrying that massive ego all day long” Mei retorted sticking her hands onto her hips.

“You fucking bitch you want to fight?!” Bakugou screamed.

“Nah I think from today we can see that I can easily beat you, so I’m calling it we’re done for today” Mei calmly said while sipping on the rest of her lemonade. Mei and Bakugou sat at the garden table that Mei created and exchanged points about the session, eventually when that became boring Bakugou interjected and said “Why do you still call me Bakugou?”

“Well you’ve never told me I could call you by your first name so I assumed you wouldn’t want me to” Mei replied

“If I can call you Mei then you should call me Katsuki, it’s only fucking fair” Bakugou jibbed.

“Katsuki it is then but honestly I prefer to just call you my soulmate” Mei joked “Oo oo or actually I’ve decided you pet name is going to be Suki”

“Call me that and I will literally fucking kill you witch, but Suki is fine as long as you don’t fucking overdo it” He spat as Mei continued laughing and as it became midday Bakugou went home saying something like ‘spending 6 hours with you is driving me insane’. Although his words weren’t the kindest Mei knew that he had to have enjoyed himself as you didn’t really see Bakugou spending that much time with just anyone.

Mei being her normal training obsessed self, decided to ask the rest of her friends if they wanted a training session together, the remaining members of the baku-squad were all thrilled to train whereas the remainder of class said they wanted to train by themselves, or some bullshit along those lines. She didn’t really understand why they didn’t want to train with her but she decided not to question it as it would probably only upset her.

With Mina the two worked on her long range acid attacks since her close range ones were already pretty good, the session went on for about an hour and a half before Mina stated complaining that her hands were hurting from all the acid expulsion. Healing her friend’s hands took a second, then she decided the two should take a walk and had a gossip session since Mei trained with Bakugou that morning.

“You know he’s actually a really good partner, he makes some good points and him being strong is just an added bonus, means training is actually helpful and not just fun” Mei insisted.

“You know I think you’re the only person alive who thinks training is fun and that Bakugou is a good partner” Mina joked

“We’ll im definitely not the only person who likes training you bitch, Bakugou likes it as well though that doesn’t really help my case” The pair continued on walking and talking for hours until Mei walked Mina home and said goodbye for the night.

When Mei got home she did her normal routine of eating dinner with the family and then going upstairs and locking herself in her room where she messaged a bunch of her friends.

The following day Mei called Sero and Kaminari to see if they wanted to train and the response was them yelling down the phone so loud that Mei had to take her phone away from her ear, otherwise she was scared she would burst an ear drum. About 20 minutes after she called them there was a pounding that came from her front door, she only managed to crack the door open slightly before the two boys pushed their way in and started walking around her house trying to find her mother for some reason.

“Shes not here you perverts, now get in the garden and get ready to have your asses handed to you on a silver platter” Mei threatened, and the two boys dropped their things and ran through the back door and once they saw all the equipment in her garden they were in awe “Yeah yeah I have a bunch of shit now which one of you want to go first?... or do you wanna go 2v1?” The two of them smirked at each other and readied their fighting stance.

What happened next Mei swore to never tell anyone as she managed to knock the two down in one move, it was safe to say they mainly used their quirks in fights so hand to hand was not their strong points. She proceeded to show them some moves one on one for the next few hours and once she was starting to get tired she thought it was time to play a small prank on the two.

She asked Sero if he could use fetch her bottle for her using his tape, Sero being the precious angel he is agreed. As soon as he shot out the tape Mei covered it with mist and in the blink of an eye wrapped it around Kaminari and Sero so they were trapped staring at each other, Mei let out such a roar of laughter tears started falling from her eyes.

“Mei you’re such an asshole!” Kaminari yelled

“Bro you’re so dead after this!” Sero cried.

“You two look so good together oh my god let me take a picture of this!” Mei laughed.

“Don’t you fucking dare Mei!” They screamed out simultaneously as Mei snapped a photo and then used her quirk to get rid of the tape holding the two boys together. Once they saw the picture she took they couldn’t help but laugh as well.

Since Mei’s mother wouldn’t be home for the next few hours and her brother was out with his friends, Mei asked the boys if they wanted to stay around and watch a film or something. Obviously they were thrilled to and the trio decided to watch a rom-com, which led to Mei having to console the boys as they cried over the film.

“Awh my precious babies, it’ll be okay mummy Mei is here” She murmured as she wrapped her left arm around Sero and her right around Kaminari and pulled them both in. The two boys continued crying into her shoulder as she rubbed their backs.

“It’s so sad, how could he not see that shes in love with him!” Kaminari exclaimed.

“They were soulmates and they never even ended up together!” Sero screamed in Mei’s ear, once they calmed down and had some food Mei opened a portal to Kaminari’s house since she didn’t know where Sero lived and the two stepped through while waving goodbye to Mei.

After some well needed food and sleep, Mei went to ask Kirishima he told he that he already trained with Bakugou and if he had to use his quirk again he would pass out and then throw up and in that order. So instead Kirishima offered that they could meet up and just chill, so they did. The pair went to visit Mei’s favourite place which was a hill about 20 minutes from her house, on the way there Mei told Kirishima about Sero accidentally wrapping himself and Kaminari up in his tape the day before. Kiri laughed so hard that the pair had to stop and wait for him to stop rolling around the floor, Mei decided it was best not to show him the picture she took of the two when they were face to face and they looked like they might’ve kissed, she thought if she showed him that he might’ve peed himself.

They eventually got to the top of the hill just in time to watch the sunset, they stared at the view in silence and then decided to FaceTime their friends to show them the view. Obviously they were all offended at the fact that they weren’t invited but eventually shut up when they also saw the view. Mei hung up the phone and decided to capture the moment so she flipped her camera and snapped a selfie with her photogenic rock friend. Once the sun had fully set she teleported Kirishima home and then herself, of course her next course of action was to post the picture she took with Kirishima. She posted it with a simple caption of ‘Rocks have feelings too!’ her friends being themselves started insulting the two of them for being ‘cringe’.

Chapter 10: the sports festival begins

Notes:

Mei: We in this bitch finna get cronk
Kaminari: eyebrows on fleek the fuck

 

“Is everyone ready?! We’ll be entering soon!” Iida screamed as he entered the room full of his classmates sitting in anticipation.

Todoroki walked up to face the unsuspecting green haired boy and began to say “Midoriya looking at things objectively I’m stronger than you, but all might has his eye on you doesn’t he?”

As Kirishima went up to try and stop the possible fight brewing Mei couldn’t help but giggle, the table of her friends all turned to look at her with sheer confusion in their eyes. As Midoriya finished making his own points to the rest of the class, Mei offered up an explanation to her friends which was “it’s just so nonchalant to walk up to a classmate and be like ‘hey yo I’m gonna crush you’ like it just screams Katsuki energy and I didn’t know Todo had it in him” she whispered imitating Todoroki for part of her explanation.

Hey Todo what was that all about?

You heard what I said to the class didn’t you?

Yeah I did… umm good luck I guess

You too Mei.

Bakugou proceeded to cuss her out while Kaminari asked “Did you have to give him a blowie for Katsuki privileges because I’ll do what I have to do” which then lead to Bakugou sending an explosion his way as the group made their way through the seemingly never-ending corridor to the arena.

“I’m just better than you baby, Katsuki likes me better than you and I’m also going to beat your ass today” Mei laughed as she raised her palms and Kaminari punched them as he stuck his tongue out at his friend.

Eventually they reached the arena and they were greeted with thousands of people screaming at them, Mei much like the rest of her classmates she was in awe as she spun around to get a proper view of everyone and then she turned to see Bakugou’s vicious smirk after Kirishima asked him if he was nervous and after he saw the “Bro your face is going to scare all the little kids watching”

“I think Midnight is the one who is going to be scaring kids” Kirishima commented.

It was at that moment Midnight announced that Bakugou would be saying a few words since he came first in the entrance exam, while everyone around him stared at him in both awe and disgust, Mei was beyond excited as she predicted this weeks ago and he didn’t listen to her. So before he made his way to the stage Mei was jumping up and down yelling ‘I told you so!’ while hitting his arm, Bakugou simply shook her off. As he stood in front of the mic Bakugou’s eyes scanned around the room and eventually landed on Mei, then to everyones dismay he confidently announced.

“I pledge that I will be number 1” The sheer screams of horror from their fellow classmates made her ears hurt, instead of being appalled by what he said Mei was smart enough to expect this from him. So Mei simply kept his gaze, smirked a little and gave her friend a slow clap and eventually let out a laugh, all while the entirety of the students on the arena were yelling at him for being over-confident.

Not bad Suki, not bad at all we’ve been here for less than 5 minutes and you’ve already made everyone hate us even more

I don’t give a shit what those extras think, I meant what I said and you better be there in the finals so I can beat your ass

Keep talking like that and you might actually believe you’ll beat me one day, but you got it, I’ll see you there

… Good luck Mei

You too Katsuki

The first challenge was announced to be an obstacle race, Mei secured a place at the front with the rest of her classmates but unlike them she wasn’t feeling any nerves, no she was buzzing with anticipation. Midnight yelled out ‘Start’ and Mei ran forward and let out a chuckle as she heard Aizawa being a reluctant commentator, oh how she adored her teacher.

Everyone was barging past each other and Mei was no stranger to playing dirty so she used her agility to grab onto the shoulders of the person in front of her and propelled herself over then and then elbowed her way forward. It was then that she felt the air suddenly drop by 20 degrees and she knew it was Todoroki sending out a preliminary ice attack, so she coated her feet with black mist in anticipation of the ice. A laugh left her mouth as she flew above all the frozen candidates and noticed that a bunch of her friends managed to escape as well and were already yelling at Todoroki all while trying to run on the ice, but that obviously didn’t work out very well as most of the escapees had to walk over the ice to avoid slipping. Mei created ice picks to go on the bottom of her shoes, since they would be less draining than mist running, and managed to outrun most of her classmates, seemed like her daily runs really did come in handy.

Eventually everyone arrived at the first obstacle which were the robots from the entrance exam, Present Mic was midway through announcing this stage when Mei decided to run for the robots. She used her imagination manipulation to create a black staircase in front of her that led Mei directly to the arm of the middle robot. She jumped as high as she could and then found herself on the middle of its arm, as it began to shake her off she bent down and punched her way through its outer armour and held on to that so that she wouldn’t fall off. After a fair bit of shaking it eventually came to a stop, Mei knew it wasn’t over and instead she saw one of the other machines raise their arm and bring it down with a tremendous force.

“Mei lookout!” Kaminari screamed at his friend while his eyes remained glued to her.

“Yeah I fucking got it!” the girl responded as she raised a force field with her mind as both her hands were still holding onto the robot so that she wouldn’t fall off it. With a quick glace behind her she now became aware of all the students watching her, now was not the time to fuck up otherwise she would’ve had to live with that embarrassment for the rest of her life. So she got to her feet and raised her hands to push against the force field hard enough that the robot who attacked her went flying into the nearby wall.  Without taking a second to breathe Mei bent her legs in preparation to shoot off from the robot and go over its head, as soon as she left its hard metal body she heard Present Mic made another announcement.

“Seki Mei from 1-A, hey that rhymes! What an elegant display against the robots from our front-runner and look at those black eyes, you can tell she didn’t come here to play!”

“Of course she didn’t come here to play, it’s what you expect from one of the highest in her class and her eyes darken whenever she uses her quirk” Aizawa retorted in his normal bored voice. Mei felt herself smirk as she landed on the opposite side of the robots and started running. She felt the ground beneath her shift so with a look over her shoulder she saw that Todoroki had managed to freeze the robots and cause them to fall on the other students. ‘Damn that’s a dick move someone could’ve been seriously hurt’ Mei thought to herself as her pace increased and she noticed the second obstacle nearing in front of her.

Eventually she made it right up to the edge of the rocks and looked down, if she didn’t have a competition to win she would’ve jumped down for the thrill of it since Mei was a huge fan of heights. There were many different ways she could’ve completed this but she decided to simply teleport over to the other side and wait until some people start to catch up to her, her motive was partially petty just to show everyone she could be done with this in a second, but she also did want a minute to catch her breath since she was a long distance runner and not used to sprinting for so long. It wasn’t long before she saw Todoroki and Bakugou approaching her at pretty fast speeds. “Fuck you Mei there’s no way you’re beating me!” which was the first thing that came out of Bakugou’s mouth as he approached the other side, so Mei took that as a hint that she should start running again.

Just as she approached the final stage with the two boys following behind her Mei heard Present Mic announce that the final stage was to get over a mine field. Her first thought was to teleport herself over to the finish but Mei wanted to conserve her energy so much like the sheet of ice Todoroki produces to run over, Mei created a sheet of mist that was just 20cm above the ground but meant that she could easily run across without setting off a single bomb. While still in first place she heard her two friends bickering behind her so she took a second to tell them “If you two carry on behaving like children you’ll never catch up to me!” with a laugh and a ‘Fuck you’ from Bakugou Mei carried on running ahead at full speed.

Suddenly there was a monumental pink explosion from the back of the minefield and Mei noticed something green approaching her and within seconds she realised it was Midoriya, somehow he managed to propel himself forward just as he was losing speed by grabbing onto Bakugou and Todoroki and using their momentum to fuel his own. Once he was up and running and in second place, Mei stopped running and allowed her mist to move her down the course until she was side by side with Midoriya.

“That was really fucking clever using those bombs to make one super bomb, want a ride to the end?” Mei asked, no longer running but instead using the black mist as a hover board.

“I’ve got this!” Midoriya yelled out as he was clearly out of breath and with that Mei separated herself from him while still being neck and neck for first.

“Eraser the kids in your class are insane! What are you teaching them?!” Present mic roared.

“I didn’t do anything, they got each other fired up on their own” Eraser replied.

“Oh what is this the continuous front runner Seki Mei has run out of juice just before the finish line and Midoriya managed to overtake her, will she still win or is this Midoriya’s victory now?!” Present continued.

“Seki may have slowed down but she definitely hasn’t ran out of power, reducing her speed was a conscious decision” Eraser stated.

‘Oh Aizawa it’s almost like you read my mind’ Mei thought as she let her friend overtake her. It would’ve been easy to carry on going and win first but in her mind she didn’t deserve first, here Izuku was working so hard to overcome all these obstacles and what did she do? Teleport and let her mist carry her. As much as she wanted first place the guilt would’ve eaten her up and left her a shell of a human, so shed gladly settle for second after all shed still have bragging rights over Bakugou.

As she went through the gate in second place she saw Midoriya bring his hand up to wipe his tears, she went over and placed her hand on his shoulder and smiled and said a simple “You did it buddy, I’m so proud of you” which only lead to him crying even more. Once more of her friends began approaching her and Midoriya, Mei made her way over to Bakugou who was standing with a look of unfiltered rage on his face while rubbing his forearms.

You know if you want I can heal your arms a bit so they don’t ache as much.

I don’t need your fucking help witch.

“Oh im not saying you do, but I could help you know, it would only take a second.” Mei smiled at her friend who was still looking at her as though she shat in his cornflakes.

“Don’t fucking touch me okay” Bakugou spat.

“Okay Katsuki, whatever you say man” Mei was going to completely ignore what he said. As he turned around and started to walk to the new sage Midnight had set up, Mei decided she would heal him as it wouldn’t use up much of her energy anyway. Her eyes on him as suddenly a green mist erupted from her hand and snuck its way around his arms, since her normal mist of energy was black Bakugou was concerned about what coated his arms, obviously he only noticed when he felt the aching completely disappear. So it was safe to say that he was surprised when he turned to see Mei staring at him with her black eyes on display and a green light, that resembled Maleficents flames, was streaming from her hands.

Technically you told me not to touch you so I didn’t

Don’t waste your powers on me witchy, not on the first fucking challenge I still have to beat you and if you’re not at full power  there’s no fucking point

Calm down I’m fine bro now go back to staring at Midnight

I wasn’t staring you bitch!

Yes you were but so is literally every other person here, including me so I can’t blame you

 

[A/N I hate the cavalry battle so much, like I can’t even begin to explain my utter distain for it. So it’s going to be short and shit (much like everything else I write Ahaha) but I don’t care because I literally don’t know what to write also the 3 characters I made up I will never use again so yuh and yes I know new characters will fuck up the final battles but just let it be]

Once Midnight finished explaining the rules of the cavalry battle Mei already had a plan in mind. The first step was to create a mind link with everyone who’s quirks she didn’t know and hope that they weren’t eliminated, obviously all of class 1-A and a few from 1-B and Shinsou were excluded, as Mei didn’t want them to get any idea of what she had in mind. Obviously large group mind-links are an easy way to drain Mei’s power bank, luckily she didn’t have to join anyone’s thoughts together, and she just had to send a message.

If there is anyone with a water quirk, some type of crystallisation quirk and a telekinetic around and you don’t have a team yet please respond by thinking a response.

 By some miracle there were 3 people left with those quirks so she sent over her location to them so they could easily find her, it wasn’t long before Mei was smiling like crazy because she couldn’t believe it started off so well.

“Oi Mei you’re on my team” Bakugou announced.

“Oh am I now?” Mei scoffed.

“Yeah now let’s go and get the rest of the fuckers” He said as he grabbed Mei’s hand and started to pull her away from her original spot.

“Actually Katsuki I have my own team” she let go of his hand and stepped back with folded arms.

“Huh?!” Bakugou exclaimed as 3 characters appeared behind Mei, he has never seen those people in his life and yet somehow Mei turned to them and engulfed them in a hug. Bakugou was beyond confused as to what just went down but instead of questioning it he let out a huff and carried on looking for members to join him.

As the group discussed their quirks and Mei shared her plan and they unanimously agreed that they would go according to what Mei suggested. With the time they had to find teams over they assembled their formation with (telekinetic) Yuto on the top, Mei in the front and the other two in the back. The starting alarm went off and as soon as it did Mei threw up a force field surrounding the group and Hitori (Crystallisation) reinforced the field by coating it with crystals. After 5 minutes of stone cold silence finally someone on the outside starts attacking the crystal field, from the swearing joining the banging Mei realised it was Bakugou.

“Huh I guess he got his head from out of Midoriya’s ass” Mei joked which caused the rest of the group to let out a little laugh.

“He may be a bit of a dick but he’s probably going to break through the barrier in a bit, so we should think about implementing phase two” Hitori commented.

“Ooo we’re calling them phases now, okay I fuck with it” Mei retorted.

“I say we stay in here until it breaks completely because I don’t know how long I can hold us in the air” Yuto contributed.

“Oh I wouldn’t worry about that after all I can help you keep us in the air” Mei assured her team mate.

With a quick agreement from everyone they stayed until the shield was utterly cracked, Mei then created a platform that with help from Yuto was completely airborne and stood strong right at the top of the arena where not even Bakugou could reach them. Another 5 minutes had passed when Yuto was starting to weaken from quirk overuse, even Mei was feeling the drawbacks and her eyes were starting to burn.

Mei teleported the group to the opposite side of the arena and let the platform fall from the sky with a colossal bang that send dirt and dust flying everywhere. With the commotion going on they hid themselves in one of Todoroki’s ice barricades and their final trick before they went out to get more points was to have Rin (water quirk) to throw a cyclone of water around them that was completely impenetrable.

“As much as I like your plan won’t we be considered pussies for hiding for so long?” Rin asked Mei

“Umm yeah probably but who cares, if we started going after points at the start we would’ve been in the heat of everything and probably lost most of ours in the process, since we’re the group with the most points, obviously not including Midoriya because that’s insane, it just makes sense that we keep them safe until the end no?” Mei explained to her group.

“Okay fair point who are we going for when we get out?” Yuto asked.

“Anyone and everyone, if you see a headband you can grab you let us know via the mind-link and we’ll grab it, if we’re not the second group by the end of this I’ll consider this all a monumental fail” Mei responded.

“Well that’s definitely not an over-reaction is it now?” Hitori sarcastically retorted.

5 minutes before the cavalry battle ended the group set out and managed to retrieve 4 headbands, 2 had low points and really were not worth the effort but the other 2 did spark up their group points which in turn meant that the did finish in second place just as Mei wanted. Once Midnight ordered everyone to stop Mei saw that Bakugou landed straight on his face so of course she ran over, after saying goodbye and thank you to her group, and began to slate him for being so clumsy.

“How I wish I had a camera because you falling on your face was easily the greatest thing that’s ever happened” Sero roared.

“It was the least manly thing I’ve ever seen” Kirishima chuckled

“I’m telling you its cosmic karma for what you said earlier” Mina giggled alongside the rest of them

“You guys were on his team and you just let him fall” Mei gasped for breath as she was laughing uncontrollably

“I WILL KILL EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FUCKERS” Bakugou set off explosions behind their backs which caused Mei to jump.

Still laughing Mei linked arms with Sero and Kirishima and the whole group made their way to their break room, instead of going in with her friends Mei set off to find the bathroom. Before Mei could even reach the bathroom she heard her name being called out and when she turned she saw that the only other person in the corridor was Endeavour so she responded in a confused manor not knowing whether it was him who called.

“I would simply like to say that your performance so far has been quite impressive” He towered over Mei with flames roaring as always.

“Thank you Endeavour but I somehow doubt that is your only reason for speaking to me, so may I be so brash as to enquire about your true motivation” Mei responded as politely as she could, she could tell he was the reason why Shoto was the way he was.

“Yes well in that case I’ll get right to the point, I assume you know what quirk marriages are?” Mei’s only response was a confused nod. “I believe your quirk joined with that of my sons would produce powerful offspring, you would be heavily compensated for it of course, as money is no issue”

She was so taken aback by what had just been said, that she needed a second to gain composure “I’m sorry I must have misheard you would you mind repeating that?” She asked and Endeavour begrudgingly repeated himself.

“Okay I wasn’t going insane you are just a fucking lunatic” Mei giggled

“Excuse yo-“

“No no excuse you, I don’t know what happens at your house but I can already tell from this 1 minute conversation that you good sir are the reason Shoto needs a fucking therapist” At this point his eyes were wide open staring at the girl with disbelief. “If I had my hero license and you weren’t the No.2 I would’ve beaten your ass right here right now”

“You better watch yourself gi-“Endeavour boomed with fury.

“I am not done, let me finish. If I were to marry him because I truly love him, which isn’t hard by the way because he is an incredible person, then just know you will not be invited to the wedding and you will never see our children.” Mei’s hands were rolled in fists stuck to her sides by this point and if looks could kill Endeavour would’ve been dead long ago.

“If I ever find out that you forced my dear friend into a loveless quirk marriage just know I will skin you alive, No.2 or not. Fuck you and kindly never fucking speak to me again” Mei continued as she walked straight past the pro.

Endeavours flames grew so tall they were practically touching the celling, she was almost at the staircase when she heard him yell something about her regretting this. So Mei did the only logical thing and threw up 2 middle fingers and once she turned to the staircase she saw a dual haired boy standing there with his eyes widened with shock most likely. Mei approached the boy and wrapped her arms around his waist and started apologising about how awful his father must be to him.

After he initially tensed up Todoroki was able to return the embrace by wrapping his own arms around Mei’s shoulder “Why would you apologise when it’s my father who approached you with that awful request, I’m so sorry he asked you to do that Mei”

Mei quickly let go, put her hands on his shoulders and looked at the boy with utter disgust “Don’t you ever apologise for the actions of that cunt okay? You hear me, you are not your father, you did nothing wrong. Listen if you ever need to get out of that house you just tell me and I’ll teleport you and your siblings to my house instantly. Promise me you’ll tell me if it gets to bad”

Todoroki couldn’t believe what just happened, he had never treated Mei as nicely as he should have as though she considered him a friend to him she was a classmate. Yet here she was showing more affection to him now than his father has in his entire life. Too stunned to speak he just nodded and let Mei pull him towards the 1-A break room, just outside the room Todoroki noticed Mineta and Kaminari talking to the rest of the girls in the class while Mei went to go speak to Shinsou who was also loitering the hallway.

“Why don’t you get Mei as well since Aizawa asked” Momo questioned and a chorus of girls began to agree.

“Ummm” Mineta stuttered while looking at Kaminari for help.

“Well Mei ran off to speak to her buddy so it’s probably best to leave her alone” Kaminari thought up the excuse on the spot knowing full well if they did ask Mei she would see through their bullshit in a second and ruin everything.

This is a mind demon, you have 5 seconds to surrender before I wipe your memories

I would really like to see you try wipe my mind Mei

“Ugh how did you know it was me you prick and for your information I could totally wipe your mind” Mei snorted.

“I don’t know many other people who can get into my head and you know I don’t think you actually could” Shinsou simply stated

“Well shit, anyway I’m glad you made it to the final battles I can’t wait to kick your ass”

“From what I’ve seen by running behind you, you’re amazing and I for one am not looking forward to our fight” He looked straight at the floor completely avoiding eye contact with the one person bound to beat him. No one else in their battle bracket knew his quirk so it should be easy sailing all the way up until Mei.

“Oh my god you think I’m amazing? I do too, I would say you’re not too bad yourself but I was ahead of everyone in the race and always in a sphere of sort during cavalry” Mei spoke sarcastically as she flipped her hair behind her shoulder. “But seriously Shinsou you’ll be fine, I believe in you and I won’t do you the dishonour of going easy on you so be ready to give it your all” she continued as she put her hand under his chin and raised his head so that their eyes could meet and that she could send him a smile.

He returned a weak smile to his friend “Oh you bet I’m going to kick your ass, you better not hate me afterwards though”

“Oh I could never hate you, no matter what you do” She hoped her conversation with him would ease his nerves a little. She couldn’t begin to imagine what it felt like for the others, the uncertainty about what was going to happen. Mei however was not worried, she knew that she could quite easily beat everyone in her bracket, the only person she considered real competition was Todoroki but even then she had faith in herself. It was not to say that she thought the other students were weak, it was simply a case of Mei knowing how her quirk fairs against others.

“Are you going to watch my match with Midoriya?”

“Of course what kind of stupid question is that? I wouldn’t miss it for the world, I’ll be cheering you both on from my seat” Mei gestured for him to come closer and whispered “Don’t tell anyone but I’ll be silently hoping you win”

“Oh Mei turning against your own classmate for little old me? I’m truly honoured and in return I guess I’ll have to cheer you on too” He slyly spoke.

“You guess?! You asshole I expect you to stand on your feet and wave this banner while screaming my name” Midway through that she created an A3 white cardboard poster with the words ‘Seki Mei Number 1’ inscribed on it.

“You know it still freaks me out that you can just make things out of thin air” Mei shrugged in response to her friend’s statement “Oh and did I hear correctly that you want me screaming your name?” He shot Mei a smirk.

She hit his upper arm in response with a slight blush scattered over her cheeks and the two exchanged a goodbye, a final good luck and went their separate ways. With only a few minutes before the final round was set to begin she set off back to the break room Mei took her seat with her friends joining the chatter that was going on.

“I can’t fucking believe I’m up against Todoroki, it’s some kind of discrimination I know it” Sero moaned with his head in-between his two hands.

“At least you won’t have to go up against me or Mei since you’ll be out in the first fucking round” Bakugou uttered.

“Damn bro that’s not very manly, you should believe in your friends” Kirishima countered before muttering under his breath “… but you do have a point”

“Hey I heard that you asshole, I thought you were on my side Kiri!” Sero bellowed

“Okay to be fair what they are saying is harsh yes but with Todoroki you still stand a chance but I would beat your ass in a second, just like how I’m going to crush Kaminari” Mei laughed.

Sero looked at the girl and raised an eyebrow “Mei you know I love you but I think you’re giving yourself too much cre-“

Before he could finish Mei’s eyes flashed a deep black and Sero found himself with his wrists and ankles bound by what looked like his own tape and a strip of it was on his mouth. “Oh please do carry on Sero, don’t let me interrupt you” The spectacle caused Sero to stand and begin yelling though no words actually came out, causing Kirishima to whip out his phone and take a picture, but before he could Mei rushed in and put her arm around Seros shoulder and held her thumb up. All while Bakugou remained in his seat with his arms crossed and he threw his head back in laughter,

Mei please let me go

Will you apologise for what you said, it was quite hurtful you know

Fine I’m sorr-

Yeah no I will need a verbal apology in front of our friend’s baby

Mei released the boy from his confinement, he rubbed his wrists and then issued the girl an apology just as the class was ushered out to their seats. Before there could be a proper start Present Mic drew everyones attention to the 1-A girls who all walked out onto the field with orange cheerleader outfits on, everyone, but Mei, were staring at the girls with very confused eyes.

“Where was my fucking invite to this?” Mei yelled at the girls from her seat and before they could respond and tell them it was Minetas and Kaminaris twisted idea, Mei threw herself over the railing as she was still in mid-air she transformed herself into a matching orange uniform. When she was falling she heard Bakugou and Kirishima run up to the railing and scream out her name yet she chose to ignore them completely as everything felt like slow-motion in that moment. With a final check of what was below her she managed to land on the ground directly underneath with a superhero landing.

She stood up and the crowds began to scream in awe. Ignoring everything she heard around her she strode over to the group of girls and demanded they tell her why she wasn’t invited. Once they explain what happened Mei shot a bunch of threats to Mineta and Kaminari via mind link and she threw an opaque field around the girls to give them a chance to run and get changed into their uniforms while she teleported herself back to her seat beside Bakugou. Once she arrived Mei noticed that Bakugou was the only one in the second row and everyone were avoiding sitting next to him as though he had the plague, Mei on the other hand wouldn’t want to sit anywhere else. 

Chapter 11: sports festival goes out with a bang

Notes:

Mei: To sacrifice my own life for Bakugou.

(if you don't get this you need to go watch some more tiktoks. :)

Ahah I cannot write fight scenes as we all know by now YOLO though right? Also I kinda fucked up and wrote 4 battles instead of the 3 that’s in the actual anime but idc

 “What the fuck was that Mei do you want me to fucking kill you?” He thundered and grabbed her by the collar

“I don’t know about you but I love being this close to you Katsuki” Mei smirked and that caused him to recoil and let her go instantly “Oh and to answer your question that was me thinking the girls left me out but really it was Kaminari and Mineta being perverts, like we did look good so fair enough”

“You guys looked fantastic I have no regrets” Kaminari suddenly appeared out of nowhere. 

“I cannot begin to explain how much I look forward to our match Kami, I was going to go easy on you but now I think im going to teleport you 30 meters up in the sky and let you fall.” Mei greeted her friend “Oh and if anyone ever wants me to put on the cheerleader outfit all you have to do is ask” her eyes shifted around her group of friends.

Mineta then rushed over and started begging Mei to put it on again, before she even got the chance to retaliate against the grape Bakugou and Jirou rose but were beaten to action by Todoroki freezing him on the spot. Mei shot him an impressed glance and created a mind-link between them.

Thanks 

Oh believe me I’ve been waiting to do that since the day I met him 

Me and you both babe 

 “Now for the first battle its 1-A’s own Midoriya Izuku vs Hitoshi Shinsou from the Support Class” Present Mic announced knocking Mei out her trance, she stood to clap her hands and yell cheers for her friends but she assumed they would be too focused on the match to notice her. 

Once the match between Midoriya and Shinsou was over Mei saw her friend looking upset due to the result of the match but once she heard people yelling out compliments to her friend for the second time that day she ran up to the railing, with Bakugou and Kirishima following after her again so she wouldn’t jump again, and began yelling to her friend “See Shinsou they all think your quirk fucking rules”. She listened into what he said to Midoriya about being better and eventually joining them on the hero course and she couldn’t help but smile when it was obvious that he wasn’t disheartened by his loss.

“Looks like I won’t be fighting you anytime soon” Shinsou noticed a familiar presence sitting, waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs.

“Oh I wouldn’t be so sure about that, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to fight me when we start training together” Mei smirked.

“When exactly did I agree to training with you?” he huffed.

“The second you started throwing those god awful punches at Izuku” Mei giggled.

The pair continued talking until she heard the next match being announced so she rushed back to her seat beside Bakugou and made it just in time for the match to begin. It was only the start of the match and Sero had already managed to get Todoroki to the edge of the platform, within a second Sero went from almost winning to having completely lost. As a mountain of ice filled the arena freezing the air in everyones lungs, Mei jolted in her seat and instinctively grabbed Bakugou’s hand and with a shocked face she faced him and uttered a ‘holy shit’, noticing he was equally stunned when he interlocked their hands. At the base of it was Todoroki standing and panting with frost covering most of his limbs, as soon as the arena was cleared of ice and Sero returned to his friends only to be suffocated by them hugging him, it was Mei’s turn to fight.

“Mei go easy on him would ya?” Mina asked her friend 

“Maybe not easy but try not to kill him” Kirishima interjected 

“I s-s-say give him hell” Sero shivered.

“Well we’ll just have to see won’t we lads” Mei straightened her jacket.

Mei was joined by Bakugou when she made her way through the corridor to the entrance of the arena “Do you have a plan for Pikachu?” 

“I mean it’s pretty obvious what he is going to do, he’ll release 1 million volts, go brain dead and then it’ll be a simple case of pushing him out. I honestly wish he would come up with better tactics because it only takes 75 to kill a human, but I’ll let him know that shit after today” She casually replied while stretching. 
She was surprised when she heard Bakugou laughing behind her, she tilted her head and gave him a look of surprise to which he simply replied

“Fucking hell witchy at least you’ll win this in a second, I’ll be waiting here for you after wards” 

“You’re a great friend you know, I’m really glad I met you” With that said Mei was off on her way to the podium. 

Present Mic announced the pairs fight and during his speech Kaminari looked at Mei with a smile and began to attempt to taunt her “How about I take you out after this as an apology? You know since I’m going to crush you but obviously no hard feelings babe” 

“Oh angel you know I love spending time with you, but you do realise I’ll be the one winning this right?” Mei snorted.  

“3, 2, 1… BEGIN” Present Mic announced. 

As suspected Mei could already see Kaminari charging up ready to fire with all the volts he can, she thought about creating a simple force field to deflect the attack but who would be interested by that? Instead she decided to throw in a bit of pizzazz. When he released the electricity Mei had her palms facing him and decided to make all the electricity go straight for her palms. Though she could actually absorb and release the electricity back, much to her disappointment, she could focus it and cancel it out as soon as it touched her skin. It was a sight to behold, all the golden electricity that was initially spraying out in a million directions was now in 5 lines going directly to Mei’s hands, that along with her black eyes from her quirk being in use made her look almost villainous. 

When he eventually stopped the discharge Mei could see that he already had drool running from his mouth and his thumbs were up on display. She opened a portal beneath his feet and as he fell through it Mei created a large marshmallow like air mattress on the grass to catch his fall. He was out of bounds and Midnight announced that Mei was the winner, she then went to her friend and with an instantaneous use of her healing abilities he was back to the normal Kaminari that Mei adored. 

“Did I win?” He questioned. 

“Of course you didn’t you fuck wad, Mei beat you without breaking a sweat” Bakugou chimed in, waiting in the long corridor for Mei as he said he would’ve. 

“Well shit, can we still go out Mei?” Kaminari looked heart broken, so there was no chance Mei would break his heart even more. 

“Yeah duh, you think I’d ever pass up the opportunity to eat?” Mei retorted just as the rest of their friends ran down the stairs, causing Kaminari to run up to them and begin talking. 

“You agreed to go out with fucking Pikachu?” Bakugou spat 

“He started saying that he’ll win and take me out as an apology so I told him there’s no way he would win but I would still be down to go” Mei responded as the pair started climbing the stairs in order to get back to their seats. 

“I’ll do the same when I beat you witch bitch” Bakugou chuckled.

“Ah would you look at that another cocky bitch thinks he can beat me, I look forward to beating your ass as well” she jibbed. 

“There’s not a chance you’ll beat me but if you do we’ll still go somewhere, deal?” Bakugou extended his hand while staring at Mei’s violet eyes.

“Fine, where would we go?” Mei responded while shaking his hand. 

“Wherever you want Mei… wherever you want” Bakugou answered in a quiet voice that Mei had never heard from him before. 

The next matches went by quickly with Mei, Bakugou and their friends always discussing the matches as they go on. When it was time for members of the group to fight they’d all cheer for them with all their might and once the matches finished they’d walk them back to their seats. Eventually it was time for Mei’s second match which was with Ibara Shiozaki, the girl with the vine quirk. While Present Mic was introducing the girl she had complaints about her introduction which made Mei laugh. “I didn’t enter U.A. for wicked reasons but for the salvation of others” Present Mic then had a chance to finish his introduction, this time the girl turned to Mei and continued speaking but she spoke quietly enough that only Mei and maybe the people closest to her would’ve heard. “Some people need more salvation than others, people like your class” 

Mei couldn’t believe what she just heard, god was everyone trying to get a beating from her today “Would you like to explain or do we skip straight to me kicking your ass for that?” 

“I’m simply saying that your class need guidance before they can no longer repent, there’s no reason why I can’t be the one to guide you all” Shiozaki held her hands together as if she were to pray. 

“God you really are a crazy bitch aren’t you?” Mei laughed. The girl shot vines to wrap around Mei’s arms as restraints and pulled her up close until they were face to face, Mei could feel the thorns digging into her skin and causing blood to spill out down her arms. She looked directly above her head and could see all her friends watching with their eyes open and mouths agape, she thought it was quite offensive that her own friends thought she would be losing this easily. 

“I don’t appreciate the name calling, I’m not crazy I simply know that your egos will get in the way of you people becoming heros, it would be such a shame for you to die young because of your sins” Mei could tell the girl believed every word she was saying. She was getting sick of her bashing her beloved classmates and the thorns were starting to get uncomfortable so enough was enough.

“You know why I know you’re just chatting a bunch of shit?” Mei questioned. 

“Why is that?” 

Mei’s eyes began to fade into pure darkness, black mist began to hover around her body. Then all the vivid green vines from those wrapped around her arm to the ones dangling from Shiozaki’s lower back all turned white. Mei pulled her arms apart and in that instant the white vines turned to ash and while most fell to the ground some remained suspended in the air “I’ll forgive their sins, since I’m a god but yours? Never” Mei stepped back and poured all her mist to cover her foot, then kicked Shiozaki with such force that she went flying straight into the wall behind her and formed a human shaped hole in the wall. Once the dust settled Mei released the girl from her position in the wall and let her fall to the ground completely unconscious, it definitely wasn’t good sportsman ship and would probably make some people hate her but in that moment she didn’t care. 

“God what a fucking bitch” Mei teleported herself to the exit seething with anger. 

Bakugou was standing waiting for her and immediately asked what the ‘vine bitch’ said that pissed her off so much without stopping Mei continued walking and used a mind-link to give him a quick run-down. 

“And all you did was knock her ass out? I would’ve killed her” Bakugou uttered. 

“If you don’t shut the fuck up I’ll kill you in a second” Mei threatened. 

“Don’t get fucking testy with me witchy” Bakugou growled. 

I’m sorry… really 

“Just because I didn’t want you to be a bitch doesn’t mean you have to fucking apologise, I get it” he grabbed Mei’s hand and pulled her back slightly to stop her from storming away. Then he noticed her arms were leaving a trail of blood behind her so he reached out and rolled up her jumper sleeves. “Fuck Mei your arms, you’re bleeding!” 

The pulled up jumper sleeves revealed 20 or so holes in her forearm all deep and all gushing red blood. “Oh yeah vine bitch has thorns, fucking annoying addition that I didn’t take into account when I let her pull me in” 

“Are you going to fucking heal yourself or do you want me to take you to recovery hag?” He seemed slightly frantic which bought Mei a bit of joy, seeing him worry was definitely a spectacle. 

“I mean both drain my stamina not that I have much left anyway so I’ll pretty much be dead by our match” Mei surrounded her arms with a green version of her mist and began to heal her wounds. 

“You better fucking recover your strength otherwise I’ll kill you!” he yelled

“Oh fuck it’s your match next and I’m making it all about me, how are you feeling?” Mei questioned. 

“Fucking fine, how else would I be feeling?” 

“Well I don’t know, you have a plan?” Mei continued asking 

Win 

“Of course why did I even bother askin-“Mei was interrupted by an announcement for Bakugou to make his way to the centre of the arena. “I’ll be waiting for you, now go and kick ass Suki” 

Mei made her way back to her friends and the match began, she had no doubt in her mind that Bakugou would win but she was still more nervous about his match than she was her own. It was going the way she expected Uraraka was strong, there was no point saying anything else because it simply wouldn’t be true, but Bakugou had a slight edge and it was clear to everyone. Move after move the arena was getting more destroyed with each passing second. Eventually Mei heard people yelling at Bakugou calling him a bully and that he should be ashamed of himself for doing all this to a girl, if Mei wasn’t mad enough at the vine bitch she was ready to kill someone now. 

“What the actual fuck are you people talking about?! He’s not bullying her he’s treating her as an equal unlike you fuckers who are suggesting shes weak! Which she clearly isn’t so Bakugou is trying his best against a strong opponent much like any hero would and if you pussies are saying he’s a bully you should fucking quit because evidently you don’t understand how a fucking fight works!” Mei used her quirk to enhance her voice so that everyone in the arena heard, including her two friends fighting. 

“He shouldn’t be so violent with her it’s only a mock battle” A random spectator yelled. 

Mei got up and began to climb the railing to reach a higher level but was stopped half way by Kirishima who had to pull her off “WHICH ONE OF YOU FUCKERS SAID THAT, STAND UP SO I CAN FUCKING KILL YOU” She managed to calm down when she heard that Aizawa continued on and agreed with what Mei had said. 
Mei knew the match was ending when she looked up and noticed an immense amount of rubble levitating above the arena, once Uraraka released the rubble Mei let out a gasp and reached over to grab Kaminaris hand, she had a tendency to grab onto whatever was closest in moments of surprise.  Luckily once the dust floated down she saw Bakugou still standing and Uraraka collapsed shortly after. 

“You did really well” Mei began as she waited for her friend to walk up to her. 

“Were you expecting me to do shit?” Bakugou hinted

“Obviously, I was expecting you to piss your pants because you were scared” she joked. 

“… Thanks for what you said when they started booing witchy” Bakugou mumbled as he nudged Mei with his shoulder. 

“Well I wasn’t going to just let them shit on you when you were unable to defend yourself was I? If Kiri hadn’t stopped me I would’ve climbed the railing and killed whoever said shit” Mei babbled. 

“I’m glad he fucking stopped you, I would want to see that shit with my own eyes and if I missed it I would’ve been pissed” he joked 

“Don’t you worry you’ll have plenty of opportunities to watch me kill someone” she giggled

The next few battles droned on and Mei stayed in her seat with her friends until the time came for her fight with Todoroki. She told her friends to stay in their seats instead of walking her to the arena entrance as she wanted to focus on the match ahead, Mei stared straight at her friend as she waited for the match to officially begin. 

As soon as Midnight announced the start of the match Todoroki sent out an ice wall similar to the one he attacked Sero with, the only difference this time was it was a weaker wall against a stronger opponent. Like Sero, Mei was frozen in place with the ice, after a few murmurings from the crowd thinking that Mei was a goner, Mei shatters the entire structure sending shards of ice all around the arena. 

“Bit of a one trick pony aren’t you Todo?” Mei yelled as she created a metal chain around Todoroki and attempted to swing him out of the arena. 

A few feet away from the edge of the ring Todoroki managed to freeze the chains and cause them to snap, while he was sliding to a halt Mei used this time to run up towards him and start a few hand to hand rounds as she knew that was his weaker area. As she approached the boy at full speed she managed to tackle him to the ground and began sending punches. Most made contact with his face but none were sent at full speed as she didn’t want to permanently damage her friend. After a few final hits Todoroki grabbed a hold of Mei’s arm and used her slight pause to flip her over so that he was now straddled over her, but before Mei let herself get hit she raised her hips causing him to topple over and with that advantage she kicked the boy away from her. 

The two rose to their feet and took a second to breathe, behind Todoroki she saw that all her friends were looking straight at her, which wasn’t surprising obviously since it was her match but it was nice to know they were paying attention. With a nod from Bakugou and a thumbs up from the rest of the Baku squad Mei decided it was time to start playing dirty.

Her first move was use a portal and send him out of bounds, but to her dismay before he hit the ground Todoroki built an ice slide and made his way back to the centre of the ring even through all of Mei’s attempts to break the slide beneath his feet mid-air. Once he was back on the ground Mei began charging at him again, this time he defended himself before she got to him by building a barrier between the two of them. Mei approached the barrier and knocked it down with a force blast only to realise he was now running towards her, she threw up a force field before her and in the same instant Todoroki threw up a wall of his own. She could feel him pushing the wall against hers and she decided to do the same, but soon realised it was pointless as that would only lead them to a stalemate. 

Mei removed her own force field and in the same second fractured Todoroki’s ice barrier, with the bits of fine ice in the air she had created a temporary distraction and used the occasion to silently run up to her friend and preform a jump kick right into his face, knocking him over completely and creating a field in an attempt to push him out of the ring one last time. 

Once that plan ultimately failed Mei started to feel her body weakening from quirk overuse, she noticed that the previous smiles were wiped from her friends faces and were now replaced with worried glances. It was time for her ultimate move. Mei lifted her arms which were now coated with mist and with a scream she expanded the black opaque mist and filled the entire arena with it, effectively leaving everyone blind, even herself. Though she still knew where Todoroki was and she’d hoped he hadn’t moved as she created a final portal beneath his feet and before he could even retaliate the mist was gone and he was out of bounds. 
With cuts and bruises all over her body, Mei had managed to beat Todoroki and secured her place in the final against Bakugou. She approached her friend and offered him a hand, which he took without hesitation, the pair then walked off the arena hand in hand complimenting each other. Since her energy is already drained Mei doesn’t head for Recovery Girls office but instead goes back to her own seat, where she was greeted by her friends screaming out her name and running towards her. After assuring them she’s okay and slouching back in her seat, she hears and announcement stating she gets a 30 minute break before the final match. 

So it looks like you actually managed to secure a fight with me witchy

What you scared im going to beat you?

Not a chance bitch, I’m going to fucking crush you.

You know what normally I would argue but im too tired so wake me up when the match is about to begin please. Mei rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. 

“You better not be too weak to fight otherwise I’ll kill you!” Bakugou threatened 

Shh babe I’m trying to get my beauty sleep.

Eventually the pair make their way back down to the arena separately and meet in the middle not daring to break eye contact with each other, this was their big match after all, but Mei didn’t know if she was going to make it to the end of the match without losing consciousness. Her 30 nap really didn’t do as much as she hoped it would’ve, her energy was drained, her head pounding and her injuries still bleeding.

How you feeling witch bitch, ready to get crushed?

By you? Always. 

Tch.

The start of the fight was announced and the two rushed at each other at full speed. Bakugou using explosions to propel himself forward while Mei kept to normal running, trying to conserve the last few scraps of her quirk she had left. As soon as they were within punching distance he struck first with a punch that Mei had to evade so suddenly that she ended up tripping over her own footing and having to secure herself by placing a hand on the ground just to ensure she didn’t end up making out with the pavement. 

After scrambling to get back into position Mei sent a cloud of mist to wrap around Bakugous hands giving her a chance to get close to him without the looming threat of him blowing up in her face and ruining her strikes. She managed to land 3 hits before the mist dissipated from around his hands, after that she saw him getting ready to hit so in a moment of what you can call panic she shoved him as far down the arena as she could, just to give her a second to re-evaluate her position. Obviously he didn’t waste any time in getting back to the centre of the arena where Mei was standing with her hands on her knees breathing heavily. 

“You better not get weak on me now bitch!” He yelled with a ferocity Mei had only heard a few times from him.

“Don’t count me out so soon, I’m still going to kick your ass” Mei retorted attempting to mask the tiredness in her voice from him. 

Once he got to her the pair exchanged hits left, right and centre, Mei had also managed to headbutt her friend which resulted in an ungodly crack from his head, that alongside the blood now streaming from his nose told Mei she had managed to break his nose . It as safe to say that it wasn’t just Bakugou looking battered, Mei had a broken lip and a few scattered cuts on her face, all bleeding but not enough to excuse the unbearable pain in her head. 

The fight had now been going on for 4 minutes. 4 whole minutes of punches, kicks, explosions and mist, normally a crowd would begin to zone out at a fight lasting this long but every pair of eyes in the arena, even those watching at home using their television, were affixed on the pair. Mei was reaching her limit so she decided it was time to use the training she got from her brother but make it her own. She was used to creating force field bubbles around people and slowly removing the oxygen within the bubble but this time she was going to do just that, only without the bubble and at a faster pace. 

Bakugou shot himself forward getting ready to create an explosion big enough to knock Mei out of the ring, but as soon as the fire was meant to propel itself he found that he was short of breath and there was no fire being produced from his palms no matter what he tried. Mei looked down to her friend, who was on the floor gasping for air that just wasn’t there, through her black eyes and in her final attempt to win she created a force field no bigger than a basketball hoop and pushed it all the way to the line. 

It wasn’t enough, she now had blood streaming from her eyes and ears. Mei created a concrete pole from the ground to act as a support so she wouldn’t fall over, even though she could feel her legs turning into jelly beneath her she stood tall. Mei held her ground and it was going well right until the moment where Bakugou had gotten his breath back and was heading towards her. She couldn’t believe she actually did but Mei fell straight to her knees and accepted the explosion that was less than a second away from throwing her into the wall 20 meters behind her. Bakugou tried to stop himself but as soon as he saw her fall to the ground it was too late to minimise the blast, so Mei was sent flying and landed in the wall causing all the air in her lungs to leave and cause her to gasp for more. Mei lost consciousness for a second because she had no recollection of what Midnight said and the last thing she saw was Bakugou jumping off the stage and running towards her. 

“She is out of bounds, Bakugou wins” Midnight announced. 

A second later he was shaking her awake yelling at her asking why she gave up so easily and that he couldn’t accept the win because it wasn’t earned. Mei just completely ignored his yelling and once she made sure he was okay she grabbed a hold of his arm and the pair left to go see Recovery Girl. Due to her lack of stamina and having to be awake for the award ceremony Mei just got her face cleaned up and bandaged and told the elderly woman she would just use her quirk to heal herself later when she got her energy back. She couldn’t help but laugh when she saw her friend squirming as Recovery Girl attempted to give Bakugou her kiss of healing.

“The fuck are you laughing at witch bitch” Bakugou questioned the giggling girl. 

“You just look like an idiot, you realise she’s just trying to help you right?” Mei answered mid-laugh 

“I don’t need anyone’s fucking help especially not from some old fart” he spat. 

“You better watch yourself sweetheart, I may be old but I can still kick ass, and your girlfriend over here is just looking out for you” Recovery Girl interjected. 

“Oh I’m not his girlfriend but he wishes I was” Mei sent a smirk his way. 

“Fuck off” Bakugou glared at her. 

Recovery Girl eventually finished  and since Mei got second place she and Todoroki went out to the podium before Bakugou did. Once his name was announced she saw that he was dragged out wearing a muzzle and his hands were completely clamped together. She was in a state of shock, how could hero’s do this to a teenager. It was disgusting considering what had happened to him in the past and Mei had n doubts that he was freaking out under the mask due to it reminding him of his experience with the sludge villain. He never told her about it but once it was briefly mentioned she took it upon herself to research it, when she saw the pictures of him her heart fell straight to her stomach.

Suki what the fuck is that 

Mei if you don’t get this shit off me I’ll kill you when I eventually get out… please get it off and hurry 

As soon as he approached and was tied to the podium, Mei climbed across to him and ripped off the muzzle. 

“Hey leave that on him!” the guy that walked him out said. 

“if you even attempt to put that back on him I swear to god I will kill you and everyone in this arena, don’t fucking test me” Mei’s voice was full of venom. 

“Now now Young Seki no need to get so aggressive” A booming voice came out of no-where. 

“I think the situation deserves this and maybe even some more, who’ idiotic idea was it to put that shit on him, if they’re not too much of a pussy I hope they step up so I can put this on them and see how much they like it” The last part of that was yelled. 

“There’s no need for that, now lets get the rest of the restraints off him and continue with the ceremony” All might announced as he ripped the rest of them off. 
Bakugou started yelling at anything and everything, the man who escorted him out even had something to say “See this is why we should’ve kept the muzzle on him, he’s an animal” 

That was the line, Mei was ready to fight him in front of everyone even though she was completely mentally and physically drained. She jumped off the podium and launched towards the man, who now started to run away, only to be stopped by one of All Might’s strong arms “COME BACK I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT AN ANIMAL LOOKS LIKE” 

With a brief talk from the No.1, Mei returned to the podium and accepted her medal and behaved perfectly, once she could go she grabbed a hold of her two friends who were sharing the podium with her and left straight for the exit. 

We’ll talk about this incident when its just us later 

There’s nothing to fucking talk about, I didn’t need you to fucking defend me. 

You know for a fact if our situations were switched you would do that for me, so don’t even try me today Katsuki.

There we talked about it, that’s it, lets just fucking stop now witch 

That’s not what I wanted to talk about 

Well what fucking else is there witchy?

The sludge incident 

“Let’s go get the others and get some fucking food” Mei announced.    

"Well I did promise you didn't I?" Bakugou smirked                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Chapter 12: ice cream and internship decisions

Summary:

Kirishima: I got it yes bitches! Chocolate vanilla swirl with cookie crunch!

Notes:

school = death

Mei felt a hand grasp her shoulder and before she could twist the wrist into an excruciating position a bundle of red hair popped into Mei’s peripheral vision. “Hey you two, we’re getting ice cream are you coming with?”

“Or have you maybe got some love bird business to attend to?” Kaminari joked as he turned around while crossing his arms, rubbing them up and down his back pretending to be making out with someone.

“YOU BETTER SHUT UP BEFORE MY FOOT ENDS UP IN YOUR THROAT” the angry boy popped off.

“Now now lets not get so angsty the poor child is just jealous because the only person who is ever going to kiss him is his mother” Mei laughed.

“Can’t be so sure about that we don’t know what happens between him and Sero during boys night” Mina joked.

“HEY! What happens in Bakugou’s living room stays in Bakugou’s living room” Sero interjected.

“Or more specifically stays on his couch” Mina whispered before running away as Sero and Kaminari began to chase her.

“So are you two coming?” Kirishima said with a pout on his face.

“We wouldn’t miss it for the world baby!” Mei confirmed as she threw her arms around her friends shoulders.

The group remained split into 2 three’s during the remainder of the walk to the usual ice cream shop visited by most of the U.A kids. They all exchanged their regular loud conversations mixed with satire jokes and meme references, when Bakugou responded to the occasional meme it sent everyone into an ecstatic flurry where they all crowded around him and praised him. Which obviously pissed him off to an unbelievable extent so after his fourth explosion, all the members of the group has burn marks on their ties.

The ice cream shop was unusually empty for this time of day but Mei realised that most people were either still in the arena, at home in front of their TV’s or slowly making their way to said shop. Everyone got in line to order and got their regular flavours which for Kirishima was Rocky Road, Mina chose Bubble-gum with fresh raspberries, Bakugou got Vanilla with popping candy, all while Mei and Sero both got Pistachio being the legends they were.

Everyone settled down into their booth and we’re instantly bombarded with Mina demanding a group photo. Mei, of course, was always down for taking pictures with her friends though because of her lack of stamina after the tournament Recovery Girl hadn’t managed to completely fix her face instead she was just bandaged up until she could heal herself. She considered using her quirk to give her face the appearance of no bandages but she didn’t really care what anyone else thought so she embraced her bloody bandages and gave her best smile.

“Mei can I try some of your ice cream?” Kaminari asked.

“Absolutely not try some of Seros!” Mei put a hand around her ice cream to stop Kaminari’s wandering spoon.

“You two always get the same food, it’s so fuckin’ weird” Mina spoke with a mouth full of ice cream.

“It’s called having good taste pendeja” Sero casually answered “Kami if you touch my ice cream I’m going to tape your face to the table”  the booth roared with laughter at how serious Sero was about his ice cream.

Once they all finished eating, everyone split off to go home for some much needed rest. As Mei was walking to the train station with Bakugou she decided it was the best time to being up the not so fun conversation they had to have.

“So do you want to talk about wha-“

“I told you once witch bitch I’m not going to talk to you about it because there’s nothing to fucking talk about” Bakugou cut Mei off.

“Obviously if you don’t want to talk about it now we can talk about it when you’re ready, but I cannot imagine how traumatising the incident must have been and then for those dick for brains to put those restraints on you, I’m here for you, you can trust me with your thoughts and feelings Suki” Mei spoke sincerely.

“And what do you want me to say Mei that it was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever experienced so that you can feel better about yourself because you think you’re helping me?” He stopped mis-walk forcing Mei to turn to look at him “Well it wasn’t, the bottom line is I was too weak to escape that fucker and that’s what I get. Them putting chains on me didn’t trigger shit so just leave me the FUCK ALONE!” Bakugou screamed the last bit after being eerily calm for the rest of it.

After he walked off, Mei stood in place for a minute or so as she mentally prepared herself for a few outcomes but him saying that completely threw her off. She knew that inside he was scarred by what had happened to him but because of the way he was dragging his real emotions out of him would be like trying to run in space, she would look stupid and get nowhere. So instead she thought it would be best for her to give him some time  to cool down and eventually if they were on speaking terms she would be able to apologise for pushing him.

Instead of getting on the train and potentially running into Bakugou she decided to wait on a bench until she gained enough strength to teleport herself home.

After 10 or so minutes she was back at home where to no ones surprise Hina was waiting in the living room for Mei while laying on the couch and talking to Mei’s mother like she was family, which she effectively was at this point.

“THERE IS OUR SECOND PLACE SUPERSTAR” Her mouther yelled as she ran up to her “OH BABY I’M SO PROUD OF YOU”

“Mum please you’re going to burst my ear drum and open up some of my wounds if you carry on” Mei laughed.

“I’m sorry I can’t help it, its so terrifying watching you fight even though I know you’re more than capable” She wiped the few tears flowing from her eyes.

“Second place isn’t first but I’m still proud of you kid” Kenji embraced his sister.

“We’ll just have to wait and see what place you get won’t we?” Mei jabbed his side.

After they all sat down and ate dinner, with Mei having seconds and thirds with no regret because she deserved all the food she wanted. Mei and Hina went upstairs to her room where she was greeted with an assortment of cooling and heating pads.

“Well I didn’t know which you would need so I got you a few of each just in case” Hina sat on the edge of the bed and gestured for Mei to lie down on said bed.

“I could’ve whipped some up with my quirk and then you wouldn’t have had to waste any money on me” Mei laid down and let out a groan as she did so.

“What happened to ‘Thank you Hina you’re the best’ huh?” She scoffed while cracking one of the pads and handing it to Mei.

“Thank you Hina you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me and im so glad you’re in my life” Mei positioned the heat pack at the bottom of her back.

“Well that was a nice addition and you’re most certainly welcome, now what did you get up to after the thingy” Hina asked.

“The thingy? Wow way yo make it seem insignificant” Mei placed a cooling pack on her stomach which felt weird considering there was a significant amount of heat coming from her back, but she had phantom pains in the areas she had stiches, which were healed shortly after getting to the dinner table.

“Well it doesn’t really have an impact on me soooo” Hina got a light kick from Mei “I joke of course”

“We got ice cream and I asked Bakugou about something and he flipped out and now its going to be weird seeing him at school” Mei was now covered from head to toe in a flurry of different temperatures.

Hina laid next to Mei carefully, insuring she didn’t move any of her packs. “Doesn’t he normally freak out over anything and everything though?”

“Yes but it’s a little different this time I brought up an event that probably was traumatising and how he could talk to me about it if he wanted to and he just went off saying he didn’t want to talk about it and that I should leave him the fuck alone”

The timid-until-you-get-to-know-her girl beside Mei took a second to think before responding to her friend “Well that is a pretty normal reaction to that kind of stuff being brought up, obviously it’s a topic he doesn’t like to think about so as long as you aren’t the one to bring it up in the future and apologise for bringing it up it should all be okay”

“God I really fucked it by talking about it didn’t I” Mei’s eyes began to get cloudy with tears.

“Oi no no none of this okay, what you did wasn’t the end of the world man, you only wanted to help and I’m sure it came across that way, it’ll be okay bub just give him a hot minute to cool down”

Mei, completely forgetting about the existence of all the packs on her turned on her side to hug Hina, which the best friend gladly returned. The pair soon fell asleep only to be woken up by Mei’s mother the following morning with the announcement that breakfast was ready. After breakfast the two best friends had the perfect girls day and did nothing but lounge around and watch films all day.

Once Hina reluctantly left Mei’s house, Mei returned to her room and finally checked her phone only to see that her notifications have been flooded with the both the Bakusquad and class 1A group chats going on non-stop from 10am that day to what was now 10pm. She responded not wanting to anger the GC gods by being a silent observer and not participating in any conversation.

After having to explain her absence Mei moved on to other texts, mainly the ones from Shinsou.

The weekend went by faster than Mei had hoped, luckily for her Kenji hadn’t forced her to a single training session probably due to the fact that his own sports festival drained him too. Monday came around and Mei teleported herself to class instead of taking the train. In the 5 minutes before the class started she spoke with her friends making casual conversation about how they all wish they could have another few days of relaxing, while simultaneously getting a dirty look from Bakugou.    

“We’re having a special hero informatics class today in which you will be coming up with your hero names” Aizawa started off the lesson.

“Thank fuck we’re finally doing something exciting” Mei said looking over her shoulders to see her friends all grinning widely.

“Now here are your total internship offers, most years they are more spread out but it seems all eyes were on the Top 3, who clearly made quite the impact on people” He continued.

Mei got the third highest number of offers in the class with her number of 2357. Granted it was quite a bit lower than Bakugou’s and Todoroki’s but after her explosion she was impressed she got any at all.

“Bakugou’s and Todoroki’s placements are the opposite to their places in the festival” Kirishima pointed out.

“Most pros would be too scared to get a guy who had to be chained to the podium” Sero added on.

“WHAT WOULD THE PROS BE SCARED OF?!” Bakugou roared.

“Seems they were less scared of Bakugou than they were Mei, and she was way scarier trying to attack some random dude” Mina interjected.

“And I’d do it again bop bop bop” Mei joked getting a few chuckles from her peers “No but seriously if I ever see such blatant disrespect and sheer stupidity I will react the exact same way pro heros or not, you don’t get to do that shit and not face any consequences”

“Whether or not you got any offers you will all have internships with the pros” Aizawa informed the class “While these hero names are still temporary if you are not serious about it-”

“No one will take you seriously later!” Midnight made her dramatic entrance  into the class.

“Midnight will be in charge of making sure your names are suitable because I can’t do stuff like that” Aizawa readied his sleeping bag.

After most people went up and got their hero names sorted it was finally Bakugou’s turn to go up and present, usually Mei would’ve asked him via mind-link what he was going to choose but without any hesitation Bakugou presented his hero name which was “King Explosion Murder”

Without wasting a second all the members of the Baku-squad burst out laughing and after Bakugou managed to stop yelling at Midnight telling her that her opinion is stupid, Mei simply butted in to say “It’s a stupid name bro everyone knows it just stop embarrassing yourself and change it”

“WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME YOU BITCH ITS NOT LIKE YOUR STUPID SHITTY NAME WILL BE ANY BETTER” Bakugou was close to snapping his board in half.

“Actually I think it probably will be” she took that as a tip that it was her turn to present. It was an easy choice for her since her and her father already decided on her name a long time ago, before she was even applying for U.A. “I’ve gone with the ‘Reality Distortion Hero: Spectre” With a cheerful round of applause from Midnight, Mei made her way back while not forgetting to stick a middle finger up in Bakugou’s direction. Bakugou shot up only to be told by Aizawa to sit his ass back down, which made everyone in the class have to hold their breath to stop themselves from laughing.  

You know you should pick something cool to be your name like Ground Zero maybe…

Shut the fuck up witch I don’t care

I’m just saying  in case you can’t come up with anything else, its there

Die

“Have you guys decided who you’re going to intern with?” Mina asked clearly bored of looking through her list.

“Think im going to go with NovaStorm” Mei answered.

“Holy shit shes the No.5 pro isn’t she?” Kaminari exclaimed.

“Yeah she’s the highest ranking female, omg Mei that’s so cool!” Mina now seemed full of energy.

“What’s her quirk though?” Sero asked.

Before Midoriya could answer the question Mei jumped in and told her friends that she has Psionic Energy Manipulation “Since I can manipulate energy as well I figure she’ll be able to help me control the mental part of it since her energy control isn’t physical”

“She’s friends with Hawks as well so you’ll get to meet him, omg if you do you have to introduce me to him, he’s so cool” Mina was practically jumping up and down.

“I think he’s gay you know, but if I do meet him I’ll send you a pic” Mei joked.

After finishing all their lessons for that day the whole gang walked to the train station and decided that the next day when they left for their internships they would all meet up and say goodbye.

Mei wasn’t able to sleep that night but she didn’t know whether that was because of nerves in regards to meeting the No.5 Pro Hero and having to keep up with her for a whole week, or whether it was her unresolved issues with Bakugou. It was almost as if it were planned but the moment Mei began to think about him her phone began to buzz.

She picked it up hesitantly and once she answered the call Bakugou simple asked if she was awake and once she responded with “obviously, if I was asleep I wouldn’t pick the phone up”, after that he just told her to meet him t the park they once ran to. She knew exactly which one, so the instance she hung the phone up she put some proper clothes on and teleported herself to the location before Bakugou could even put his phone in his pocket.

“Hey” she said timidly to the boy who stood up to greet her.

“Why have you been avoiding me?” He asked while staring so deep into her soul, she was worried she might fumble her words.

“Thought it was best to give you some space to cool down before I apologised” Mei fiddled with a coin in her coat pocket but showed no other indicator of her being nervous.

“Why do I need to cool down and what the fuck are you apologising for?” he stepped closer to her which only caused the coin in her hand to be rotated more.

Mei cleared her throat “You were really mad after the ice cream shop incident and I didn’t want to make it worse because I know I totally stepped out of line”

“Witchy I couldn’t give a smaller fucking shit about that, its not your fucking business but you are my friend so I guess I kinda get what went though your stupid head” he muttered.

“So you’re not mad and plotting my death?” Mei hesitantly asked.

“I do that normally because you piss me off on a daily but no not specifically because of that” He let out a quiet and short chuckle.

“Oh thank fuck I’ve been worried one night I’d wake up and you would be at the foot of my bed holding a gun” Mei let out a breath.

“Why the fuck would I use a gun when I have my fucking quirk?” HE said while contorting his face.

“Well I hope you could have some respect for my family and use a gun with a silencer so they can at least get a good nights sleep before they find me dead” The pair started to walk in sync.

Bakugou took a second to glance over at Mei and when he saw that she was back to her normal self he couldn’t help but feel relief flood him. He may hate to admit it and if anyone but Mei asked what she meant to him he would say she’s a piece who he sometimes hangs around, but the truth was she meant a great deal to him and having someone like that was new to him. His angry boom boom head didn’t know how to handle having real friends who he considers his equals and not just followers.

“I heard you’re going to the number 5 bitch” He changed the subject.

“She has a name but yes, who have you chosen?” Mei interlinked their arms since she started to feel the cold air around her and he was like a permanent heated blanket.

Mei linking arms or hands was something that caused a lot of internal anguish inside Bakugou when she first started doing it. The emotional turmoil was too much for the boy, he didn’t know whether he was taken a back by it because he has been severely touch starved and Mei was quite openly affectionate, or whether he just didn’t like anyone else touching him. In the end he decided not to say anything and just let her do what she wanted to do.

But now? Oh it had all changed, as much as he hates to admit it he’s gotten strangely addicted to her being attached to him.  Her holding on to him impacted him more than any drug ever could, the more she clung on to him, the worse life was without her. In the moments where she decided to hold him, he would do anything possible to ensure she wouldn’t let go.   

“Best Jeanist, he’s number 4 so that’s another thing I’ve beaten you in” Bakugou gloated.

“Must you seriously turn everything into a competition? Anyway I chose her because she could actually help me with my quirk development, you only chose him because he was the highest ranked hero on your list” Mei scoffed.

“That’s bullshit you don’t know my reasoning behind my decision, last time I checked you can’t read my mind” he objected.

“Okay fine let’s hear your reasoning then, I’m curious” Mei knew that he had no other explanation for it, so it was going to be interesting to see what he could come up with on the spot.

“You know curiosity killed the cat” Bakugou spat.

“And satisfaction brought it back, now what was your fucking reasoning Katsuki” Mei shouted.

“Fine you fucking angry bitch, you know that was my reasoning, you happy now?” He turned his head away from her as they continued walking arm in arm.

“You’re such an awful liar man, you couldn’t come up with a single fucking reason? You would be awful in an interrogation” Mei laughed.

“Yeah well honesty is the best fucking policy” He scoffed.

“Obviously but the ability to lie is pretty crucial, you might not need to use it often but there are moments when a little white lie is needed”

“Don’t you ever fucking try to lie to me witchy” Bakugou threatened, now looking her dead in the eye.

“oh don’t you worry my love I have no intention to, you’re equally as bitchy as I am so I know what ever I have to say you’ll be able to handle it.” Mei squeezed his bicep In reassurance.

“I don’t just mean that way witch, I mean like if you ever I don’t fucking know are going through something and I ask if you’re okay, don’t fucking lie to me then” He mumbled.

Mei stopped in her tracks and let go of his arm, a confused Bakugou turned around to face her. “I pinky promise if you ever as me if I’m okay I will tell you the whole truth and nothing but the truth”

“you really want me to fucking pinky promise you like a child?” Mei violently nodded while extending her pinky out even more “Fine I’ll do the fucking same… I promise”

Once their pinky promise was complete, Mei told him that they should probably get some rest before their big day tomorrow, Bakugou reluctantly agreed even though he could’ve killed to spend some more time with her before they were separated for a week. Mei grabbed his hand and teleported the pair back to Bakugou’s house.

“Fuck me that never gets any easier, how do you do that all the time” Bakugou grabbed his head in hopes to get the world to stop flying around him.

“Practice makes excellence, I’ll see you tomorrow boo thang” Mei shot up some finger guns before turning them into a heart.

“You’re so fucking weird witchy, goodnight though, I’ll see you at the train station” He said just before the girl disappeared before his eyes. That night the two of them fell asleep easily knowing that their friendship was back to normal.

 

The following morning after saying goodbye to her family Mei made her way to the train station to see her friends before being separated for a week. While narrowly avoiding crying they all hugged each other goodbye.

“You guys better reply to me when I put stuff into the group chat or you will all be personally responsible for my death” Kaminari pouted.

“Don’t count on it” Bakugou replied.

“If its some boring stuff I’m telling you cannot count on me” Mina laughed

“Don’t worry bro me, Sero and Mei will definitely respond no matter what!” Kirishima exclaimed.

“And that ladies and gentlemen is why you are my favourites” Kaminari picked up his suitcase as his train just arrived.

Soon after that the rest of the got on their trains leaving just Mei and Bakugou there. “You do know you have to call or at least text me every day or I will have a full blown mental breakdown and destroy half the city” Mei joked.

“Are you really that reliant on me that if I don’t talk to you, you’ll have a Godzilla moment?” Bakugou laughed.

Mei put down her bag and walked straight into Bakugou gripping her arms firmly around his waist. “I mean it Suki, you and the rest of the bitches better talk to me or I will wither away”

He stood motionless for a second before melting into her and wrapping his arms all the way round her, completely consuming her figure. They fit perfectly together, her chin rested against his shoulder while his head was leaned firmly against hers. “Don’t worry dumbass, I’ll call you as many times as you want for however long you want”

The pair stood there for a while until Mei’s train arrived and they were forced to let go of each other. When Mei got onto the train she took her seat by the window and waved to Bakugou, who was standing with his eyes fixed on her, until he was just a speck in the distance. It was time for her to get better and gain a deeper understanding of all she was capable of, there was nothing that could stop her once she reached this level of determination. After what felt like an eternity on a bunch of dull trains, with her only escape being her headphones blasting music, she arrived and was greeted by a tall purple haired woman.

She was wearing a skin tight white hero suit with gold embellishments running down her sides all the way from her shoulders to her feet. Her suit was sleeveless, showcasing her defined arms. Her hair was up in a high ponytail secured with a white scrunchy. She had intense facial features, striking orange eyes that were partially blocked out by the sunglasses perched on her nose.

“Mei! My sweet perfect intern are you ready for hell?!” Nova screamed.

Chapter 13: The Internship

Notes:

Nova Storm: DATS MY BABY AND AINT NOBODY FINNA TOUCH HER
Mei: :D

 

“Ms Nova Storm it’s so nice to finally meet you” Mei bowed in respect to the 6’0 tall hero standing before her.

“No need for any ‘Ms’ bs, just call me Nova okay?” She spoke with a wide smile on her face “Now today I will be taking you for a tour of our building, we’ll get you settled down and maybe have a quick training session but that will be about it”

“Wow I didn’t expect for you to take it easy on me” Mei giggled trying to ease her nervousness as she spoke without thinking and was now scares shitless that she crossed the line.

Her fear was eased when Nova Storm let out a roaring laugh and placed a hand on Mei’s shoulder “Oh don’t you worry little intern I’m only being kind to you today because starting tomorrow you’ll be waking up at 5am and you’ll be doing non-stop training with me, patrols with members of the company and you’ll only eat if there’s time.”

Mei stood there a little taken back, it’ll be hard but at least all the early morning training sessions she has with her brother and used to have with her father will finally pay off. “All apart of the life of a hero I guess”

“Precisely, see I knew you would understand, that’s why I sent an invite for just you, I doubt anyone else would be able to keep up with my training regime” Nova ushered the two of them into a car and instructed the driver to drive them to her apartment.

“Nova you flatter me but I know a lot of heros in training who would’ve been perfect for your company” Mei tried to hide her blush as it wasn’t every day you get complimented by the highest ranking female hero and your personal idol.

Nova turned to face her with a serious look on her face “Now don’t get me wrong, the people in your class do seem strong and they will all turn out to be wonderful heros in their own ways, but it is unbelievably clear to see that you have the most potential to make it big, your control over your quirk is way beyond anything expected of a person in their first year of hero training, and you clearly keep yourself physically fit on your own volition, that showing you already have an unbelievable amount of determination and you’re no stranger to hard work, now don’t get me wrong we’re going to have to work on that little outburst you had when your friend was chained up, but apart from that im betting everything I own and will ever own that you are and will continue to be the strongest in your class, maybe even your school one day and with that you will make an excellent pro which I will be unbelievably proud of”

Mei was speechless and it was pointless to hide how flustered she was, it was written all across her face, it took everything she had to stop herself from crying. Before she could embarrass herself by trying to say something, Nova announced that they had arrived at her home which was a penthouse apartment in a rich neighbourhood, once inside she didn’t spend too much time looking around as Nova just showed her, her room and said she could look around when they got back later. They got back into the car and after a quick 5 minute drive they were at Nova’s agency.

The building was tall enough to reach the clouds, Mei started to wonder if Nova had a thing for high places, leaving the top floors invisible to the people on the floor, it was a building made of almost entirely windows, after the first few floors the building receded back making space for a small forest with plants extending both above and below. Mei could see some people walking near the plants, Nova explained that there was a garden on the top of that floor which served as a place where heros can go to take a break from their exhausting days and be with nature. She continued to say that all the glass was made to withstand a missile launch from the outside but on the inside all it took was a simple chair to the glass and it would shatter, it was perfect in case of an attack. There were giant gold letters that read ‘The Nova Storm Hero Company’ just under the garden.

As Mei entered the building she saw that the first floor was a massive reception room with sofas and tables with chairs scattered all across the floor, the walls were an emerald green with gold embellishments while all the furniture was various shades of black and grey. In one corner there was a board that stretched from the ceiling to the floor of pictures of pro heros with their names underneath with their various accomplishments, with a sign in the middle saying “No accomplishment is small when the outcome is a better day for someone somewhere”. From seeing how everyone approached Nova Storm and greeted her she could tell that everyone loved and respected her. Once she got to the second and third floor, which were apparently spaces for the heros to just relax in-between patrols and other things, she saw that there were food and drink stations at either side of the floors, and with the expected sofas to sit in there were hammocks hanging from the ceilings and bean bags all over the floor. All Mei could think of was 1) she definitely chose the right agency to intern at, 2) if she ever got an agency of her own this was definitely the vibes she would want. The tour took another hour in which Nova showed her the medical wing, all of the training floors (there were like 3, all filled with heros sparring) and once she finished going to everyone to introduce Mei to them, she took her to the very top floor which was her office. It was elegant beyond belief, a desk right in the middle splitting the two sides of the room, one half with a sofa and a TV and on the other side there was a screen covering the entire wall with maps of events that need hero supervision, where all of her employees are and the status of everyone. Out on her balcony Mei looked down and as the clouds cleared for a minute she noticed that she could see Nova’s apartment very clearly, maybe that’s why she took the penthouse she thought to herself.

“Right babe you ready for a quick sparring session?” Nova said bringing Mei out of her trance.

“Ready as I’ll ever be” Mei’s usual cockiness went straight out the window when she remembered she actually had to fight a 6’0 muscular god capable of fucking her up with one punch.

“Oh don’t worry I wont do anything to that beautiful body of yours, can’t have people thinking I abuse my interns” Nova smirked

“Yup that definitely calmed my nerves” They arrived at one of the empty training rooms.

“Listen if by the end of this week you can land a hit on me I will consider this partnership a success” Nova assumed her fighting stance “Now let’s go no quirks just fists”

As soon as Mei got into position Nova sprinted in her direction, had she blinked Mei would’ve completely missed her attack. She thought that she was good at high speed attacks but by comparison she moved like a new born walking for the first time. By some unknown magic Mei managed to miss Nova’s fist by an inch, which resulted in her getting a quick ‘nice’ from Nova, before she let it get to her head Nova threw another hit.

It was non-stop hits from Nova’s side for a good 2 minutes, Mei hadn’t had the chance to even attempt a hit, her entire mind was focusing on defence since Nova was coming at her with an incomprehensible speed from every single side, after she threw a hit she would move to the opposite side forcing Mei to constantly move. In the middle of Nova’s hits, Mei felt a presence appear at the door obviously she was in no position to focus on who it was. After another hit combination from Nova, Mei managed to notice a pattern, she goes for 2 punches one on either side followed by a kick ever 30 seconds or so. She decided that next time she saw her going in for it she was going to attempt to finally land a hit instead of just defending. It was time, Mei saw Nova raising her leg so she decided to move out of the way letting Nova hit straight air and in the time it took Nova’s leg to return to the ground Mei had appeared on the opposite side and proceeded to attempt a roundhouse, she got so close and started to fill with hope, this was it she was finally going to land a hit. 2 inches before she made contact Nova caught her leg and pulled her in, effectively lifting her off the ground before letting her drop down.

“Good that was good, I’m impressed you managed to catch onto the pattern I was using” Nova extended a hand to Mei.

“Hey Nova don’t be surprised if I steal your intern one day” the voice in the doorway said.

“Rumi when did you get here?” Nova went to the No.6 Rabbit Hero standing in the doorway.

“About a minute and a half into the fight” Mei responded.

“You managed to notice me and you didn’t get distracted? I like you even more intern, what’s your name?” Miruko asked.

“Seki Mei, its an honour to meet you” Mei bowed, she was honestly starting to feel overwhelmed with the amount of strong female pros she managed to meet in one day. Holy fucking shit its pro hero Miruko I might throw up she thought to herself…. Or so she thought

Why the fuck are you telling me this

Who the fuck is in my head

Bakugou you dumb fuck, you started this how do you not know who you’re talking to

Oh wow I was just freaking out I had no idea I was speaking to you

Focus on your work dumbass

Aye aye sir  

“Seki Mei.. you’re that one that ripped the thing off the aggressive boy at the sports festival and tried to attack that one helper out right?” Miruko questioned.

“Yeah unfortunately that was me…” Mei was embarrassed to see it being brought up so many times in one day, no pro was willing to let her live it down apparently.

“That was so badass, I cant believe All Might stopped you, I wanted to see you beat the shit out of that guy, it would’ve been quite the show” She laughed.

“Badass maybe but we’re going to have to work on some self-control aren’t we” Nova glared at Miruko.

“I definitely didn’t handle it as well as I could’ve but personally I don’t regret it and I would do it again if I saw them putting a good friend in such ridiculous and unnecessary gear” Mei spoke up.

“Good on you babe, but if you’re going to beat the shit out of someone, doing it at a live sports festival in front of all those people isn’t ideal, do it in private” Nova sent a wink in Mei’s direction. “Take a breather while I speak to Rumi”

Mei went and grabbed her water bottle and took her phone out to check on how her friends are doing, just as she was about to read the responses Miruko spoke “I’ll be seeing you some more this week, and if Nova lets me maybe I can spar with you later” Miruko sent Mei a smile and then walked out.

“Right you ready for some more training?” Nova walked back to Mei’s side.

After another hour of training where Mei was focusing on blocking Nova’s intense attacks and Mei throwing one punch for every 100 of Nova’s, Mei got thrown to the ground one last time before Nova decided it was time for them to stop for the night. After Mei showered, the pair made their way to the canteen where Mei decided to scoff down a 3 course meal in 5 minutes. They finished eating and Nova took Mei to the meeting room which resembled a war room, there was a giant round table with enough chairs for every single hero in the agency, each hero had their own assigned seat with a small microphone. The centre of the table was a screen that reflected what was shown on the giant wall, the image on the screen was an enlarged map of Japan. As each hero spoke about their events of the day they used the small control screen by their seats to show the rest of the agency anything they needed shown. Eventually an hour passed and Mei could confidently say that Nova was her idol, she watched the way she spoke to her subordinates, and even though most bosses would treat their employees in a way to show the hierarchy, Nova was different. She cared about all her employees and spoke to each of them like they were her equals, there were some moments where she had to get serious and issue a warning but you could see no one was scared of her, instead they all valued everything she said to them and they knew that anything she said was meant with love and meant to be constructive criticism. It was truly inspirational to see a woman so strong and so feared by villains to be a source of security and compassion to those who work with her.

The meeting ended and with a last few goodbyes Mei and Nova made it back to her apartment, this time she had enough time to look around and what she discovered was that everything was meticulously labelled and organised. Mei couldn’t find a single thing out of place, even when she was grabbing a spoon for her hot chocolate she noticed that all the spoons were perfectly stacked on top of each other.

“Hey Nova is there a reason why you have everything so organised?” Mei asked as she sat down on the couch and gave Nova her cup.

“In a world where there are so many uncontrollable variables I like to have a space that I can have an absolute and unwavering control over.” Nova replied as she sipped on her drink “Also it just makes everything so much easier to find”

The pair sat and watched a movie while they chatted and from all the stories Nova told her from her childhood, it became clear to Mei that the two of them were quite similar. As the movie was playing Mei thought it was a perfect opportunity to check in on her friends, luckily they were all within mind link distance so she used that instead. After talking to almost all the members of the Baku squad the movie had almost finished, she decided to end the night with Bakugou.

Hey bitch boy you free to talk?

Obviously what else am I going to be doing at 10pm

Well I’m honestly surprised that you’re still awake

Yeah fuck you what do you want

How was your day Suki?

Fucking shit all this guy cares about is my so called hero image, he hasn’t done any training with me at all, its such a waste of my time

I don’t think it’s a waste of time since you’re already a strong person its just your ability to control your emotions is lacking so I think hes doing a great job

I haven’t even told you the worst fucking part

Oh please do tell

He slicked my fucking hair down…

No I refuse to believe this you’re going to have to send me a photo.

Mei didn’t hear a response but a few seconds later she saw her phone buzz and once she opened the message from Bakugou, she realised it was true. His usual spikey unruly yet surprisingly soft mess of hair had been gelled down to a side part. Mei didn’t hesitate to burst out laughing, leaving Nova no choice but to see what she was laughing at. Once she saw, she too started hysterically laughing “Is this the kid you helped at the sports festival?” She asked in between breaths.

“Yeah he’s interning with Best Jeanist and he’s helping him with his public image” Mei responded.

“He’s cute are you two a thing?” Nova asked with a wide smile on her face.

“Oh absolutely not, he might be my best friend but we only stopped hating each other a few weeks ago” Mei answered as she took a screenshot of the photo and told Bakugou she loved his hair.

“I mean if you moved from hating each other to being besties in a few weeks, who knows what might happen” Nova was suggesting something that Mei didn’t know how to feel about.

If you fucking show anyone this I’ll kill you

I mean I did show Nova but she said you looked great

Tell her I said fuck you

I will do no such thing she’ll end up kicking me out of her house

You’re staying at her house instead of a hotel?

Yeah why?

That’s kinda weird don’t you think

Nah bro we get along really well, we’re actually pretty similar expect for the fact that shes so much stronger than me

No shit she’s stronger than you, she’s a pro for a reason

I actually wanted to cry earlier, she was complimenting me so much saying that im going to be a great hero and that anyone who says otherwise is crazy, oh oh and she also said I’m easily the strongest in the class and one day I’ll be the strongest in the school.

Again why are you telling me all of this obvious bullshit

What you think she’s telling the truth

Listen here you dumb bitch and listen good because I’m never repeating this ever again, everyone knows you’re the strongest in the class and if we were to go all out and fight I would only manage to win by a hair, you’re easily going to end up in the top 3 of Hero Rankings, I’ll obviously be first but you just might be second

Suki that is the nicest thing I’ve ever heard you say, I don’t know how to respond

Then don’t, just go to sleep because I know for s fact Nova Storm is going to kick your ass tomorrow and I don’t want to hear you complain that you’re tired or I’ll have to come to you and help her in beating your ass

I mean if were close enough for mind links to work you must be pretty close to me

I can hear you a lot clearer now than I could when you were at the agency and the agency was 5 miles away from where I was patrolling so I’d say im in the nearest hotel to you

You’ve been stalking me haven’t you

Fuck off no chance

Well how else would you know I was 5 miles away from you when you were on patrol

You see I have this thing called a brain and it helps me to be aware of my surroundings, now go to fucking sleep before I kill you

Okay goodnight Suki, sweet dreams and sleep well

Goodnight Mei

At that point the movie ended, Mei and Nova said their goodnights and then went to bed considering they would be starting their days in 6 hours.

-

Mei woke up at 4:45 and got herself ready and her day began with a 15km run around the local park, Mei was used to doing a 5K every morning so she knew the 15km wouldn’t break her but it would not be fun. 40 minutes passed and the pair arrived at the agency where they went straight to the training rooms for a 40 minute full body work out. Nova suggested the pair go for a 20 minute swim, Mei originally thought it would be a fun idea because she would be able to chill out in the water, she was sorely mistaken, Nova made her swim laps. But after getting out of the pool it was now 7am and they went to get breakfast and for the first time since she got up this morning she was allowed to sit down for more than 30 seconds.

“Our patrol starts at 12am, so we’re going to do some sparring for 2 hours then you’ll get some free time to go see what other heros are doing. Then we’ll be on patrol until 4pm, we’ll come back and eat and shit until 5pm then we’ll do quirk training until 9pm, sound good?” Nova told Mei in between shovelling mouthfuls of food.

“Oh yeah so much fun, I definitely wont want to cry by the end of the day” Mei suddenly lost her appetite.

“I know it’s a lot, I think you’ll be able to handle it but if it becomes too much you tell me and we’ll stop okay?” Nova said gently

“Thank you but I didn’t come here to give up, I’m going to do it all even if I have to crawl home” Mei straightened her back and spoke from her chest.

“Good, that’s my girl. Let’s go” Nova said picking up her now empty tray.

The training session was pretty much the same as yesterday but this time Mei was the one to launch herself at Nova, it didn’t help her chances of landing a hit but it did mean Mei got a smirk from Nova. Every 10 minutes or so, after Mei manged to sustain even more bruises by continuous and repetitive blocks, Nova would stop the pair and walk Mei through a fighting sequence which made the most of Mei’s advanced knowledge of martial arts. Once they walked through it slowly, they would add it into an actual fight to see how it played out. Slowly but surely Mei was gaining some confidence in throwing hits while blocking. None had actually landed but any progress is good progress.

Nova decided it was time to stop the sparring when she managed to elbow Mei straight in the nose, which obviously caused her to have a running stream of blood flowing down her face. Mei made her way to the medical wing while Nova went off to sort out some business, in the med bay Mei was greeted by a man who looked quite young maybe 23/24 Mei thought.

“Oh that is quite nasty, it’s a good thing its not broken otherwise it would be a bit beyond my abilities, Nova isn’t going easy on you is she” the male nurse said.

“Not at all but its good because I doubt any villains I encounter are going to go easy on me” Mei said while still holding a tissue to her bloody nose.

“Oh god I haven’t introduced myself yet, I’m Fuji and in the lead nurse here, the doctor is currently out so its just me here” Fuji said while wiping the blood off Mei’s face.

“I’m Seki Mei, I would bow but you’ve got a hold of my nose so I don’t know how that would work out” Mei tried not to flinch then he applied a hold compress onto the bridge of her nose.

“It’s lovely to meet you, now this shouldn’t hurt but if it does tell me because that will mean that I fucked up” Fuji removed the ice pack and proceeded to heal the cut running across Mei’s nose.

“Everyone here is so nice, its weird” Mei continued the conversation.

“Were you expecting us to be all big and scary and mean?” Fuji asked.

“Kind of, maybe not mean but I thought I would be quite nervous to approach them even though I know they’re heros and its their job to be approachable” Mei touched her nose to see how it felt.

“I was the same when I came here a year ago, but I have to say this really is one of the best hero agencies out there and I know I might sound biased but I think it’s the truth, but you’re all done so you’re welcome to go back to your intern duties” Fuji took off his blue gloves.

“Thank you I really appreciate it, I hope to see you around” Mei said as she walked out the door waving to Fuji.

She managed to get 5 meters out the door before she was basically tackled to the ground by who she quickly learnt was Nova Storms side kick, Shadow who as his name suggested had the ability to control shadows and darkness. He had pitch black hair and glowing orange eyes that matched Nova’s, he was ever so slightly taller than Nova but equally as muscular. He was dressed in a black stealth suit with orange lines going up his chest and down his back. To Mei’s surprise he was only 19 and he was already the No.5’s side kick.  

“I’ve been looking for you everywhere, where have you been?!” Shadow asked in the way you would expect a hyperactive dog to speak if they got the ability to speak a human language.

“Nova made my nose bleed so I went to get it fixed, hope I didn’t make you wait too long, id dint know you were looking for me” Mei apologised.

“Oh no don’t you worry your precious self I just got told that you were going to be wondering around like a lost puppy so I thought I’d use this time to make your acquaintance” Shadow explained.

“Well it’s a pleasure to meet you” Mei did a quick curtsy. 

“Oh but the pleasure is all mine” Shadow responded by doing a gentlemen’s bow with a hand across his stomach and one across his back. The pair giggled at the others actions, it was nice to know there was someone here that was near her age.

“Come Spectre lets go get the boring stuff out of the way, I’ll show you how to fill out an incident report and how we should ‘calmly’ address the authorities even though they’re all stupid” Shadow lead Mei to his office which was a floor below Nova’s, there he showed Mei how to do the reports and it was as mind numbing as anyone can expect.

An hour had passed, Shadow had given Mei a complete tour of the dull parts of hero work, but he managed to make the time go past quite quickly by making Mei laugh quite a bit by showing her his favourite hero fail moments.

“You know Nova was really excited to have you hear, and I see what she means now” Shadow told Mei.

“She was?”

“Oh yeah the second she saw you get past the robot in the obstacle race she was all like ‘She will be my intern I wont let anyone else have her” Shadow explained as the pair went to the canteen to grab a quick snack.

“Damn im scared to think what would’ve happened if I didn’t pick her now, what was her reaction to my outburst at the end” Mei asked.

“Okay so you absolutely can’t tell anyone because she will kill me if she finds out I told you, but since you are Nova’s first ever intern she had to take it to the Lawyers and boring admin people, they played that clip of you and said that you might be too aggressive and make the agency look bad” Mei’s heart fell at that statement.

Shadow continued “But Nova stood up and slammed her hands on the desk to draw their attention, then she said ‘Do you people know what a heros main job is? Anyone? Right I’ll tell you its to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and in that moment that boy has been caged up like a wild animal probably by heros he looks up to just because they think hes too angry, in those chains he’s vulnerable and she took it into her own hands to get him out, do you know what that is? It’s fucking heroic, if I was in her situation and I saw adults treat my classmates like that I too wouldn’t hesitate to take them out. So either I get her as my intern or you can consider yourselves fired”

“Holy shit, you’re joking right? Mei looked at Shadow with wide eyes and a look of disbelief  on her face.

“I swear on the lives of everyone in this agency that that is what she said!” Shadow stood up with a hand on his heart and another raised in the air.

“Why is it when she spoke to me about it, she said that we would have to work on my little outburst”  So far the main thing Mei had learned from her internship was that her mentor is basically her number 1 fan.

“Probably because she was the same when she was your age and she wants you to become as successful if not more successful than her, she’s just like that, a cool older sister and an overbearing mother all rolled up in one” Shadow suddenly jumped out of his seat “Oh my fucking god has anyone shown you the garden yet?!”

When Mei responded, Shadow took a hold of her hand and dragged her straight to the garden where they continued to talk until it was time for Mei to go on patrol with Nova.

-

Patrol with Nova was probably the least successful part of her day as the most interesting thing that happened when they went out into public was that Mei got to out her hero suit on and that she got recognised by some kids, as the strong scary girl from the sports festival. Soon 4 hours had passed and the duo made their way back to the agency, it was becoming the new norm for Mei to scoff her face with food at the agency. At this point she had no problems with the pro heros seeing her with sauce all over her face.

“Come Spectre darling it’s time for quirk training” Nova smiled brightly at the girl.

Finally this was the moment Mei was waiting for. Nova took the girl to an underground room that Mei had no idea existed, but apparently this was where quirk training happened as the walls were practically invincible.

“First things first I want to work on your defence, because in case a villain is too strong I want you to stay alive until a pro comes along okay?” Nova explained “I’m going to use my quirk to launch a bunch of attacks on you and all I want if for you to deflect them any way you can, if you hold off my attacks we’ll see if you can extend your protection to a larger area, then if you do really well I’ll get some other people down here to just test how much you can handle okay?”

Mei was already on the other side of the room so she gave Nova a thumbs up and she threw up her shield. Nova then started throwing energy straight at her shield but it didn’t budge, eventually they went through all the steps Nova suggested and Mei’s shield only broke down when she had 4 people attacking and she extended it to cover 5 dummies that were meant to act as civilians.

“I’m impressed Mei honestly, I knew your quirk was good but I honestly expected it to break as soon as 2 people fired on it, you did good kid, go get a drink and have a 10 minute break then were gonna do something else” Nova gave Mei a pat on the back.

After her break Mei and Nova talked about her eyesight when shes using her quirk. “So you can still see its just more like a mx of colours rather than shapes” Nova asked.

“Yeah pretty much people get different colours all the time so it’s just a case of seeing which colour blob moves and then I realise that’s the person so I hone in and focus on that one colour but it’s kind of hard to make out exact movements I can just see a general direction of the movement” Mei explained.

“So if I were to spar with you while you have a shield up I would be a blob and it would be more difficult for you to block me right?” Nova grinned.

Mei suddenly got shivers running down her back “I don’t like where you’re going with this”

“You’re going to love it, I think that’s a really important skill for you to have, you’re inevitably going to have to fight someone while using your quirk and if you can’t do both at once for extended periods of time you’re not going to get very far babe”

“I guess” Mei was not looking forward to the next 3 and a half hours of her life.

“Okay lets do this babe, you ready?” Nova asked getting into her fighting stance.

“Absolutely not” Mei threw a shield up to her back where there was going to be a person firing continuous shots at her shield.

At first Mei was getting thrashed. There is no good way to put it, the hits that she was able to block ended up straight in her face, chest and stomach. Even in close proximity Mei was barely able to make out Nova’s moves, the only good thing was that her shield appeared to hold and not let a single shot through. After an hour Mei had a split lip, a bloody nose, a giant purple bruise on her abdomen and her ears were starting to ring. The 20 minute break Nova had given her passed as though it were a single second. The next hour was better when it came to fighting Nova but her shield was now the thickness of a sheet of paper and cracks were lining it from top to bottom. Every now and then she would take her shield down for a second to attempt a hit on Nova, and when she got inevitably blocked and told off for letting her shield down Mei retuned back to getting her ass handed to her by Nova. Luckily this time she had managed to block a few of the hits, the colours never got a proper shape they were still blobby, but Mei started to notice the little shifts in shades coming from the blob. By keeping an eye on the shifts she got a slight sense of what was going to happen.

Mei was soon at her breaking point she had to let her shield down the pain was starting to give her a intolerable headache, and in the second she let her shield down she managed to get hit by Nova and she also got hit straight in the back by the other pro, luckily the shots weren’t meant to be damaging so it felt as if she just got hit with a slow tennis ball. But that was it Nova scooped her up and took her to the medical station.

“For fuck sake Nova are you trying to kill the child?!” Mei heard the doctor shout, at the same time she felt a wave of relief flood her and when she opened her eyes there were white butterflies all over her body where she sustained injuries.

“No I’m trying to make her unbeatable” Nova scoffed.

“Well she can’t be unbeatable if shes in a wheelchair or even dead, if I see her like this again im going to kill you myself” The doctor continued yelling.

“Fine, whatever” Nova retorted.

“What was that I must’ve heard you wrong” the doctor gave Nova such a death glare that Mei couldn’t help but giggle.

“Fine mother, I will make sure Mei doesn’t get that hurt in the future” Nova spat with her arms crossed.

“Mother?!” Mei yelped as she sat up too quickly, not realising she wasn’t fully healed.

“Yes I am her mother dear, now if you don’t lay back down and let me finish I’ll return you back to your previous state” The doctor halted the butterflies until Mei did as she said.

The rest of her night consisted of Nova taking her back to the apartment and forcing her to go to sleep at 9pm like a child. At 5am Mei woke and started her day with Nova like she did the previous one. Everything was identical to the last day, even down to the breakfast Mei had in the canteen.

It wasn’t until late that night that Mei got news of her 3 idiot friends being in hospital. Luckily due to her quirk and her mother being a doctor, Mei had already been to that hospital to help treat small injuries on the days that the hospital was busy. She quickly gave Nova the rundown of the situation who told her to go but to be careful, so Mei teleported to the hospital and through a mind link to Midoriya she found out what room her friends were in. She ran through the door, she spotted the 3 boys individually sitting in their beds all bandaged up. Mei sprinted to each of them and hugged them while saying shes so glad they’re okay. Once she had finished that she was ready to give them a piece of her mind.

“What the absolute fuck went through each of your heads, how on earth did you come to the conclusion that it was best to rush into a fucking battle with a HERO KILLER and not fucking contact me?” Mei screamed so loudly in fact that a nurse came in to see what was happening, after shooing her away none of the boys spoke up.

“Well, im fucking waiting, am I going to have to drag this information out of you, don’t test me today because I will. I cannot explain to you how fucking angry I am with the lot of you” Mei’s eyes were brimming with tears, god she hated when this happened. Whenever she got a bit too angry she started to cry, for no reason she might add.

“What if you died” A single tear managed to make its way down Mei’s face.

“I’m so so sorry Mei, I should’ve messaged you I know, but I didn’t want anyone else to get hurt” Midoriya finally spoke.

“Right so your logic is you would rather the 3 of you just fucking die, instead of calling someone else for help , when that way everyone definitely would’ve survived, great thinking really, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the smartest guys in class 1A” Mei did a twirl for her imaginary audience.

“Next time we are in a situation where our odds are similar to these we will make sure to get support” Todoroki stood up, just in time for the chief of police to come in.

After he spoke his utter bullshit, Mei and Todoroki were not having it, so the pair of them got to their feet and began to yell at the man with a dogs head. However after he cleared that up, and the boys reassured Mei that they would be okay, she returned to the agency where she carried on defensive training with Nova. Though it was no where near as intense as it was last time, with her increased ability to detect the small colour shifts, Mei was now blocking most of the hits thrown at her by Nova.

After that day, Nova decided that they would only spend one more day on defence before they got onto training Mei’s actual quirk. To Mei’s surprise Nova said she wasn’t going to work on attacking with her for 2 reasons, first of all most of the training she did in class with her peers would strengthen her attacking skills, and second Mei already had quite intense attacking capabilities with her quirk.

Another day, another 15km run that seemed to get easier this time, more time spent with Shadow going around and annoying the other heros working there. The two of them together soon turned into everyone worst nightmares, as the days went past, the 4 hours they spent together started to get too mundane, so what better to do than to prank people they thought. It stated off small, like putting a whoopie cushion under someone’s chair, spiking a coffee with hot sauce. But once it came to the final day, after taking selfies with all of her new friends there, so that she could remember the good week she had, Mei and Shadow thought it would be fun to superglue everything in Nova’s office to the ceiling. Had they worked in Endeavours agency, it would be instant firing for the two of them. Nova on the other hand just laughed and took pictures of the spectacle.

 The last 3 days Mei’s training focused on her imagination manipulation abilities, Nova would take her out to forests and make Mei clear paths in the trees, then make the trees return After being able to clear half a football pitch worth of trees. Once the trees were cleared Mei stood in the middle of the cleared field and sparred with Nova as she had the previous days, the difference being with each passing day the shots being shot at her were coming from all directions, leaving Mei with 2 choices, 1) create a continuous shield that would stretch around her, or 2) try to sense where the shots were coming from and in that instance put up a shield. Obviously the first option was never going to work, but it wasn’t until her final day at her internship where she managed to successfully block all of the shots fired. That was also the day she managed to land a solid hit on Nova, so solid indeed she caused the pro hero to fall and land on her ass, Nova knew she did her job well.

It was over, her week long internship at the No.5 Pros agency, as Mei and Nova were waiting for Mei’s train back home, Nova decided to offer her something.

“I knew you could do it Mei” Nova squeezed her intern tightly “I’m so proud of you babe”

“I cannot thank you enough for everything you’ve taught me, I’m so grateful for you and everyone at your agency, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to repay you” Mei bowed as deeply as humanly possible.

“Listen I’ll tell you what, you come back to the agency whenever you can or want to go on patrol with us or just for a decent sparring session, like on weekends or whatever, then one day when you graduate from U.A and you need a job you come here” Nova offered while trying to keep herself from smiling.

“Holy shit are you serious” For what felt like the hundredth time in a week Mei was rendered speechless.

“Deadly serious, I told you I think you’re going to be one of the best heros out there and there is no chance in hell I’m letting anyone else have you, you’re my little hero baby and no one else’s!”  Nova squeezed Mei yet again, this time she almost killed her with the sheer force of her hug, its as though she managed to forget how much taller and stronger she was.

“I’m honoured and I cannot wait to graduate now!” Mei grabbed her suitcase and waved her mentor goodbye.

“You go work hard and become even better okay?” Nova yelled.

“I promise I will make you even prouder!” Mei replied even louder.

With that, Mei was on a train back to her family and friends.
