My Hero Academia: The Next Generation discussion

Haruto leaned against the counter, earbuds in as he dazed. It was a slow day, the cafe empty besides a small group of teens, which he was honestly thankful for. He was mostly over his recent break up, but after meeting up with his ex boyfriend yesterday to exchange their things, he felt a pang in his heart again. He closed his eyes, taking his time of quiet without a coworker harassing him. He didn't get the moment for long though, as he faintly heard the door so removed his earbuds, taking his phone out to pause his moment. He let out a sudden yelp in pain as his arm and phone was peirced. He whined and let go of his phone. "Dammit! I just got that fixed!" He complained, and grabbed his arm, turning around. "Mind telling me your business with a small cafe?" He questioned. He had a bad habit of toying with the criminals he encountered, which nearly had him badly injured quite alot.

The two men had split up; one took Haruto and the other took the small group of teens in the corner. He pushed them back, trapping them against the side wall. They both had guns and ski masks, belts with more weapons and a small pack of vials at their hip.
"Well, it's a quick grab of cash and a snack, why else? Hand over the drawer." He pointed the gun at Haruto, hovering over the counter.
Down the street, Kai was with a team. She heard the commotion and cursed, her team handling a small break in at a bank by terribly prepared villains. However, she didn't find this all to be coincidence, considering this guy who she heard thoughts of was tied to a lower scale villain group Dynamite agency had been tracking for a couple of months. She went to the leader of her group, sadly not her dad as he was in meetings today, letting her know. She nodding, knowing what Kai was capable of alone and letting her go. Kai sped down the street, weaving through the crowd to the cafe. She turned and saw the front, making herself invisible to everyone but the people being cornered and the boy behind the counter.

"Eh...I don't know about that one, man." He said, discretly taking out the key for the cash register and locking it up. He quickly hid the key, looking over to the group of teens. He removed his apron, putting it on the counter. He noticed a pro about his age walk up and hummed. She looked familiar, but couldn't put his finger on it at the moment, so had no idea about her quirk. Haruto however kept talking until he came up with some sort of quick plan, or until the girl did atleast. "I can do snacks though, easy-peasy. Have to pay of course. Money, not bullets. I also expect for you to pay for my phone. Best pray my SD card is still good."

The man followed Haruto's movement with the gun, getting a more rigid stance as he did. "Well, clearly, you do not understand how we operate. I'll ask again, hand over the cash in the drawer." He nodded back and the other man loaded his gun with a vial, cocking it in place to shoot at one of the girl teens who let out a whimper. She glanced at Haruto, swallowing visibly.
Kai cursed, noting the man guy in charge was up to no good, she went to the back of the store, finding a quick way in, to at least be able to get undetected by the perpetrators.

Haruto went to speak back until he noticed his head movement. He instantly looked to the girl at gun point. He hummed, eyes drifting to the gun in the other mans hand. The teens where his main priority. For now, he focused on the gun for a moment, activating his quirk at the distance he had. He caused it to loose gravity and start out of the mans hand. He then looked back to the one with him, shrugging. "Eh. A bullet never hurt me too bad. This is just sad though, man. A small cafe? We aren't even owned by big corporations, we're locally owned. To go for us...you need to work on your game."

The other man glared and glanced over at his partner who shrugged. "Fine. We'll play this game." He slipped his gun in his belt and smiled at Haruto before a clear bubble appeared around Haruto's head, taking, the air compressing on him and starving him of oxygen.
Kai burst from the back, still invisible. She took down the other man, cuffing his hands and deactivating his quirk. She did the same to the other guy, who caught on and went to shoot. She dodged and kicked the gun out of his hand and made the mental pain of getting kicked in the balls ricochet through the main perpetrator. She watched him go down and stepped over him to cuff his wrists. She looked up at Haruto. "Are you okay? Can you breathe okay?" She asked, pulling out an oxygen bag.

Haruto smirked at his words, starting out from behind the counter. He went to speak until the bubble was suddenly around his head. He gave a short snort and went to speak again, taking a breath, however found he hardly could. His eyes widen some but he put on a smile as if it didn't bother him, now wanting the teens to get scared from the quirk put on him. It however quickly bothered him. Had this been Nori, he knew she would've done good with holding her breath as they've done alot of training together, but it wasn't one of his own strengths, holding his breath for more than some seconds. He heard the sound of someone else walking out, but couldn't be too bothered to check, simply helped it was someone to help him and the teens. When the quirk was suddenly deactivated though, he quickly gasped, leaning against the counter. He looked up to find the young pro, seemingly slightly younger than him, 2 years tops he guessed. "That was hot." He gasped, then shook his head. "Sorry, slipped out...I'll be fine, yeah."

The teens slowly made their way out of the corner, stepping around the man and going to the other side of the cafe. Kai gave the nearby police a heads up mentally, pausing when Haruto spoke. She fumbled the oxygen bag before putting it in her first aid belt. "O-Oh. Okay." He cheeks went a light pink and she shifted, having read his thoughts. She immediately felt bad and glanced away. "I'm glad you're okay." She smiled softly and stood up to her full height, using her quirk to move the men to the door. She went back to the counter, realizing something as she took more of a look at him. He looked, familiar. She blinked and greeted the police, giving them the low down. They interviewed the teens and let her interview Haruto. She turned back to him with a small smile.
"Just the normal routine. Can you give me a description of what happened?" She stood across the counter from him, eyes on his.

Haruto couldn't help but chuckle at her responce. "Again, sorry." He apologized. He took a small breath and stood back up. "I am too. Thanks for helping." He said with a soft smile. He glanced at the police as they walked in, then back to Kai as she spoke. He gave a nod with a faint laugh. "Yeah, I know the routine." He said, then spoke. "Teens where at their table, I was here at the counter listening to music. I heard the bell on the door so took them out, but then suddenly my arm and phone got shot." He started, taking another breath. "Turned around, the two guys where here. I manage to keep them talking for a bit and stuff. Then I saw you, and you know what happened after that."

She hummed, documenting what he said and turning for a moment to the officer. "The cameras caught all of it." She nodded and stepped back up to him. "Thank you, and it all lines up anyway. I wonder why they still ask me to question you, but alright." She frowned slightly before biting her tongue and finally opening her mouth to speak after a moment. "You look familiar." She said, eyes meeting his.

Haruto shrugged, having always wondered as well. "I never got it either. I usually get get camera checks and be on my way." He said truthfully, then looked around the ground. He sighed and picked up his ruined phone. "Damn." He muttered, taking out the SD card. He looked back up with hum, putting his phone on the counter. "So we do know eachother! Knew it." He said, putting his hand on his chin in thought. He then snapped. "You're uh...crap...Kacchan's intern, right? Er, Katsuki's. I was a third year when you started UA. Haruto Midoriya, or Floriya." He introduced himself, offering a hand. In his mind, he juggled around names that he thought was hers. They were all close, he just couldn't remember exactly.

Kai shrugged. "That and they all are well aware of my quirk. No point in taking an extra step you don't need to take." She watched him examine his ruined phone and she frowned, pulling out a small bag with emergency money she had to help with compensation to victims. She paused when he spoke, flushing slightly and nodding. "Yes. I don't really remember you, considering I kept to myself, but yes. I'm Kai Lee. Athena." She took his hand, feeling the intensity of his thoughts and emotions with the touch. He hand flinched back and she smiled a little nervously. "I-." She started over. "I have some money here for a new phone, since that one got ruined. I could even have a tech transfer everything for you?"

Haruto nodded, half tempted to ask about her quirk. He decided not to bother with it though. He gave a small chuckle and hummed. He quickly became concerned as to why she flinched. "Pleasure, Kai. I didn't hang around my underclassmen often though, so it makes sense." He said, pocketing his SD card. His raised a brow at her offer and quickly waved a hand in denial. "No need for that. I can buy another. Keep the money." He said with a gentle smile. He then hummed speaking as he thought. "Although, since I don't have a phone number now, maybe I could have yours?" He winked, but snorted. "Sorry, that was bad." He laughed.

"Nice to meet you as well, Haruto." She assumed that since he called her by her first name it was alright to do the same to him. She nodded at his dismissal of the offer. "Alright, suit yourself." She smiled and blinked at his next statement, catching it before he said it. She chuckled and her cheeks went a light pink but she smiled none-the-less. "Sure. And it wasn't all too bad. I've heard worse, don't worry." She went to the counter and pulled a piece of paper from the side, grabbing a pen and writing down her number. She handed it to him, meeting his gaze. "Just in case you're a damsel in distress again, too. Got to make sure you're recovering alright."

Haruto laughed, thankful she didn't get upset with him with his flirtatious comment. "Oh I'm sure." He said, then looked at the paper and took it, pocketing it with a light smile. He looked back up to Kai with a laugh. "I'm sure I'll be fine, but good to know I have my own personal knight in shining armor." He joked, then looked around with a hum. "I should let you get back to patrol, I've got to clean up a bit anyways." He said, looking to Kai again.

Kai chuckled and flushed slightly, finding his humor cute and nice at the same time. She nodded and checked her phone, sending her dad a message before turning to Haruto with a small smile. "I actually have lunch after this, but good luck cleaning up. And you have my number, so I'm sure I'll hear from you eventually." She held out her hand again to him with a shy smile. "It was nice meeting you, Haruto." She was risking another peak into his memories, but she hoped she had more control this time when he shook her hand.

Haruto nodded, glancing at the wall clock as she mentioned lunch. He hummed, then his eyes lit up slightly more. He looked to her and shook her hand again, a gentle smile lying on his face. "Stay here a second." He requests, then heads behind the counter to the pastry showcase. "Pick out anything you want! It's on me!" He spoke, getting out a Apple Cinnamon Crunch, putting it in a small bag.

She blinked at his sudden excitement, stepping up to the counter. She noticed him get the Apple Cinnamon crunch and decided to stay quiet about it, his thoughts enough for her to piece it together. She looked over the display case, hoping to see scones. When she saw some scones and she looked for cherry. She smiled a little and pointed at the cherry scones. "This one?"

Haruto nodded and got two cherry scones out Kai, putting them in a bag as well. He then handed them to her. "For Kacchan." He said with the first bag. "And for the pretty lady that saved me." He said with her bag, smiling at her.

She nodded at the first one, smiling as she took it. Her cheeks went a little pink at his comment on the second bag, her eyes flicking away. "T-Thank you, Haruto." She smiled slightly, her eyes meeting his momentarily. "I'll see you around."

Haruto smiled back with a chuckle and nodded. "Of course, Kai. Talk to you later." He said with bright eyes before walking out from behind the counter and starting to tidy up the shop, and also going to the teens when the police where done with them and offered thm complimentary drinks ir pastries due to the attack.

"Excuse me can I get a Caramel Frappechino with caramel drizzle venti

"Huh oh hey" Ace taking a sip of his coffee

Ace takes another sip "Hey"

"Mind if i sit with you"

Ace sits down "Is that your favorite drink here?"

Ace looks down at his drink "I think I got the most basic drink not gonna lie"

"I think it might be normal coffee actually like doing nothing with the coffee"

"Is there any like gimmicks with your quirk like the more I use mine my sanity will turn to insanity and cause me to wreak havoc without meaning to"

"That's kinda bad like if I go insane I could be fully enveloped in shadows for 5 days not able to move nor speak"

"It feels like im in a large dark room with no escape for 5 days it can even be a week or more so I gotta take sanity pills not to go insane"

"well these sanity pills are helping out with it sometimes if I still go insane I'll be out of commission for 30 minutes only"

"Something that im a little worried about is that no villain attacks have been happening recently what if they are planning something"

"Its just worrying what if there was a villain attack close and none of the pro heroes were able to make it."

"Wouldnt that mean we would have to take care of it or any of the students near have to take care of it"

"Oh yeah Does U.A host festivals I heard there would be a festival at one point"

(Sorry I had to organize a cabinet for my teacher) "You didn't know? I was able to watch the one with the people who defeated the old villain overhaul with a video that filmed it, there were battles, dancers, and games."

"Wanna see the video? I got it saved on my phone."

Ace passes Nova his phone with the video showing.

"It was said to go on the second week of April"

"Isnt it the first week of april or am i tripping" (Im going to 4th period so i won't be talking for around an hour you can respond so i can respond in 5th period)

(Im back)

"What day is it as in saturday sunday things like that"

"Okay well cant wait but shouldnt we go ask the headmaster if the festival will be going on?"

Ace chugs the rest of the coffee "Kay then lets go" Ace smiles for the first time in months

"Wait where is his office?" He says running with Nova

"Hmm well we probably have to get to U.A first"

"Wait this is gonna make this way faster" Ace creates a 2 seater motorcycle out of shadows. "Get on" He tosses her a helmet.

"Ready?"
