Ochako hurled once more into the trash can. "So … many … tons." Today's training was putting zero g's on Ryukyu … in her DRAGON FORM! Didn't help that the pro was pressing her against the pavement and using her wings to keep her grounded. "So…many…rainbows…" She probably needed to see a doctor about her hallucinations.
"Oh, you see those too?" Nejire asked her. "I thought I was just high from the gas leak this morning. Does this mean your insides are full of rainbows? Do you eat lucky charms? If you bleed, would it be ultraviolet?" She couldn't decide if it was a good or bad thing that Nejire didn't invite Iruma. The two either would've kept each other occupied or gotten in four times the trouble the two usually for themselves in.
"Why did I think this would be different than being in class?" Tsu dragged her tongue across the floor, trying to roll it back into her mouth. "All that's happened so far was more physical work and less time with a large group." Eventually she was able to close her mouth. "I'm going to be tasting the floor for days."
"Come on now." Ryukyu walked up in human form. "You both need to get yourselves ready, we're going to be in a fly out position soon." Right, flying, because that was a necessity to join this place.
"At least you can make yourself float in the air. I'm expected to jump tall buildings in a single bound." Tsu groaned as the two of them wiped the sweat off of them. "I'm beginning to miss swabbing the deck of a boat for hours."
"Oh that sounds fun. Ryukyu once made me do that, but said I wasn't allowed to anymore after I used too much polish. It became a reflection lamp capable of destroying planets in deep space." She had mixed feelings about that. None of them were pleasant.
"So Toru could do that if she trained hard enough." Ochako shuddered at the possibility. "I already believe she could destroy a city on sheer will alone." Love could be quite scary when it needed to be. "Well, I can keep myself in the air for about ten minutes now before the nausea settles in. How about you?"
"I can keep my camouflage active if I move slowly and I can jump higher, but that's about it."
"You have a tongue, just hook onto us and hope for the best." Ryukyu waved off. Why did that not fill her with any sense of comfort?

Nejire loved her new family! She watched as her sisters tried to do their best to keep up, floating and jumping as hard as they could. It looked super fun! Almost like walking a dog, except the leash was a tongue that was wrapped around you and both were more likely to get hurt! That's what made it so exciting!
"Do you know what we're going against?" Uravity screamed as they flew in the air.
"The report says two Kaiju villains are attacking! We need to minimize people getting hurt and beat them up without mercy!" Nejire chan shouted. "We'll blast and zap them until they're craters in the ground!" The two girls blinked and turned to Ryukyu for some reason.
"When a villain gets over five stories tall, the Hero Commission and Agency Managers aren't as critical about damage reports as long as they're kept to a minimum." It sounded so silly. There shouldn't be so many rules when it comes to just helping people! "You two are gonna be on support, get people out of the way while we take them on."
"Come on Ryukyu, you say that they can't take on a giant villain! That's like, super easy. Most people can do that in their first year." She did it in her first week! Okay, so that was actually one of her classmates that she accidentally tripped during training, but her point still stands. "Little bro can break icebergs with his fingers, so they can handle this no problem!"
"... But the civilians need someone you know." For some reason Uravity looked super sweaty. "We'll take them on, don't worry."
"Yeah, you just focus on beating up the villains." Froppy agreed for some strange reason.
"Oh come on, you've gotta show off somehow." She argued, the two girls waving their arms at her like they agreed deep down.
"All right, we'll compromise here. Nejire-chan, you go with Uravity and keep the civilians safe. Froppy will be with me to handle the villains."
"Great … I'm doing that then." She gave a thumbs up at Froppy. "This is who Iruma will grow into someday if no one looks out for him. No wonder why Tokoyami is so emo about everything. Revelry in the dark."

The little boy cried out. His head hurt, he felt woozy, and his dad was nowhere around here. And the two monsters up there kept punching stuff, screaming about a 'destruction contest'. Why did they have to break things? They broke his house already. The road was broken, the cars were broken, there was literally nothing left to break anymore!
"Take this you scum!" Now a dragon was fighting them. Mommy told him stories about dragons when he was little, how knights fought them off to save the princess. "No one will hurt others while I'm around!" Wait, did his mommy lie? Since when did dragons protect people?
"I'm making a list, I'm making a list…Damn it, I'm starting to become Toru." A frog lady lept in the air, avoiding fists coming at her. Wait, would she become a princess if someone kissed her?
"Hey, are you okay little guy?" He turned and saw a space woman land in front of him. "You look hurt, how many fingers am I holding up."
"Um …" One, two, three. "Three fingers?"
"Yay, you got it right! You're super smart!" A blue spiral lady cheered. "Oh, you're like the smartest kid I've ever met! Are you like a super genius? Is that your quirk? You're not hurt are you? We can't have someone smart and cute like you hurt!"
"He doesn't have a concussion. I'm gonna look for anyone still inside." Oh, she was looking for people!?
"My dad, he was inside, he didn't come out when the door fell!"
"Don't worry, we're going to get him out and you'll see each other soon." She walked towards the house and kneeled on all the piles of wood and rocks all over the place. "Alright, training, don't fail me now!" Her fingers started glowing pink as she touched everything in her path, making it all float up. "Much easier than before."
"So strong …" He watched the big rocks fly off into space. She could lift buildings maybe.
"Ichi!" A man shouted out, running to him. His dad!
"Dad!" They hugged. "I was so scared, the monsters were fighting, the dragon started hitting them, and the astronaut saved you!"
"How is it now that I just now question how weird the world actually is?" The astronaut asked.
"Wait, you didn't know that before?" Spiral lady questioned. "Everythings possible now! The sky's the limit, even though we still haven't had a mission to mars yet, which is weird, because quirks can do pretty much everything now! You think there's someone with a quirk that can just make them live in space? That would be really cool!" It would be really cool.
"Thank you, thank you!" His dad bowed to them. "You two are great heroes! Thank you so much!"
"Thank you sir." The astronaut hero blushed. "I've gotta head out now, there's gotta be more people to help." She floated away into the sky … his hero.

Okay, long story short. They're brothers, they got their hands on some trigger, they decided to make the game of 'who wrecks the most shit wins' for the sole purpose of who GETS A GIRLFRIEND! She was one hundred and ten percent done with today.
"Romance…it had to be romance!" If she could, she would eliminate the concept for one, just one freaking day if it meant she could have HALF as much drama as she did on a daily basis now. "You two are freaking idiots!" She hopped from the rubble that they kept throwing at her.
"You're just jealous because you're an ugly bitch that couldn't get a man if she tried, ya freak of nature teen." … She charged up her core and spat stomach acid inside of his massive eye. "FUCKIN CUNT!"
"Freak of nature…you two are the muscle bound pea brained twenty foot monsters using all their strength for a dick measuring contest!" She wrapped her tongue around the other guy and dragged his head into the ground. "You have all this power, yet you're using it for the most petty reason on earth!"
"Love isn't petty! We should show off how strong we are-" The bastard was cut off as she kicked him in the throat, and again, and again and again.
"What you have isn't love! It's lust, it's greed, and you're so full of it, you're literally ruining your life and the lives of others because of it! 'Oh, if I destroy this house or kill these people, she'll be sure to love me!' Yeah, like any woman's going to fall for a couple of psychos! Because every girl likes to date a criminal!"
"Um …" Ryukyu tried to raise her hand, but she wouldn't give the hero the satisfaction of taking these two bastards out.
"AND ANOTHER THING!" She screamed, using one brother like a flail to beat the other with her tongue. "The idea of a contest to begin with is pathetic! You should have just asked her like a sane person would instead of hiding and competing like every moron I know!"
"I feel-" The bastard was cut off with a slm. "Like your-" Another slam. "Projecting."
"I am projecting nothing you sack of shit! You bastards, who think romance is worth everything! You don't need love to go on in life! You just need family, or friends, like a sane human being!" She panted, anger and adrenaline fading from her body. "Now you're going to give up right now, or I'm strangling you both until you stop being so asinine!"
"YES MA'AM!" The two villains bowed in fear, as they should.
"....Are you okay?" Ryuko asked.
"No. I'm not. I just wanted a little girl time. Not even that, I just wanted to spend time with friends without drama forming, without some love triangle making things worse. Is that too much to ask for?"
"... Okay … I know just what you need." Tsuyu blinked in confusion.

Ryukyu watched her work studies melt as they received a spa treatment. "You know what … this is just what I needed." Froppy muttered, getting her muscles massaged properly. "I haven't felt my body relax like this in months. I was holding in so much stress I thought I'd gotten rid of."
"Yeah, sorry about that, Tsu." Uravity laid down beside her classmate. "I know I haven't exactly made things easier for you but me and Toru have been getting along better, so things should die down on that front at least.
"Just girl time, just girly stuff." Nejire Chan cheered, eyes covered in a mask and cucumbers on her eyes. "So, what do you like to do in your spare time, Froppy?"
"I've mostly just taken care of my little siblings back home, but since we've moved into the Dorms, I've had a lot more free time on my hands." The frog girl let out a groan of ecstasy. "I've been catching up with an old friend of mine before I started at U.A."
"Oh yeah, Mongoose right?" Uravity asked. "We met her back in that school combo training … where everyone turned into zombies." She shivered. "Mineta was not pleasant to deal with then."
"We got to beat him up without harm to his body, it was worth it." Sounded like a handful. "You know, I think All Might showed up, but it was in that weird skeletal body."
"Oh yeah, and we thought he was a zombie … and so did the other zombies."
Ryukyu laughed. "I'm not letting him live that down."
"Well Iruma called him a trash zombie for a reason, I just never knew how literal it was." Froppy laughed. "Huh, he kept that a secret for so long. This class was never going to be normal."
"Normal's overrated. Everyone's different, so that means there shouldn't be a normal. What's normal for one person can be strange and new to someone else. It's all about perspective." Nejire-chan nodded as everyone looked at her. "What?"
"You said something insightful." Uravity deadpanned.
"You saying I can't? I'm super smart! I've got grades, looks, and a quirk." She was a solid B student, so yeah, she wasn't wrong.
"You girls did good today, so just enjoy that." Ryuko chuckled. "There was more to this case than fighting over Trigger, so get plenty of rest. We're going to have a team-up with Sir Nighteye's agency."
"Nighteye? That's where Iruma's doing his work study." Uravity pondered.
"Oh, little bro's going to be there? Yay! I can work with all my little siblings!"
"...I'm gonna need a few more hours on the massage. I can feel my nerves tensing already." Froppy sighed, staring at the ground in content.
