Chapter Two

It's a decent car. Not expensive or fancy but functional. Which is very Aizawa. It is just big enough for Vivi and small enough that she's not going to struggle driving it around some of the tighter streets of the city. It's also been modified which tells her it is a former nomad vehicle. But no matter, Vivi loves it. She bounces on her toes and smiles at Aizawa. He nods a little and then moves to her side.

"Take care of it" He warns her and then hands her the key. "And be careful"

"Thank you" She offers warmly, curling her fingers around the item.

"Enjoy your dinner" He touches her head before he heads back towards the elevator to return to their apartment. Vivi heads to the driver's side of the car and climbs in. Excited to get a good look and a good feel for her new car. The interior is basic for what the car is but well maintained. Whoever owned this car before, looked after it. She draws her hand over the dash and smiles at the bobble head tiger. She chuckles and pats it on the head, knocking it into a wobble. She knows that this will not be a nomad thing, putting the tiger in, that's something that Aizawa thought of. A hanging air freshener tree with the words pine on it. Likely also Aizawa. She smiles softly and flicks the air freshener before she slides the key into the ignition. It rumbles to life, loudly, the car clearly has some age to it but also a decent engine from the sound and feel of it. It also has seat warmers, she can feel it under her ass. This car is more than she thought she would be able to afford. She would have been lucky to be able to afford the wheels. She glances out the car window as Aizawa gets into the elevator. Her eyes saddening as her fingers toy with the charms on the bracelet around her wrist. She doesn't deserve Aizawa as a father. She's always felt that way, but when he does something nice for her, like getting her a car, she always feels it the worst. She doesn't even really understand why she feels that way, only that she does. She takes a deep breath and then shakes her head. Not about to fall into the rabbit hole.

.....

El Coyote Cojo is the pick for tonight's dinner. Vivi shakes out her hair, pulling it out of the back of her jacket as she walks away from where she's parked her car up. It drives like a dream, even if the engine rattles along a little.

"Vee!" Lina shouts from where she waits alongside Dante outside of the bar.

"Am I late?" Vivi asks them. Lina shakes her head and then pulls Vivi into a hug. Vivi returns the affection and smiles, even if the joy she feels at seeing her friends again is being poked and prodded by her upset at the chance of never seeing them again. They have been friends since that first year of high school, even longer for her and Jani who met in elementary school.

"No, Jani and Shira are running late" Dante assures her. "And Vance went in to get us a table, you know how the Coyote gets at this time of night" Vivi hums in agreement as Lina pulls back from the hug. Dante takes over and gives Vivi a shorter hug. "You finally got a car?" He asks as he pulls back. Vivi nods and looks back at the car.

"My dad..." She explains.

"I wish my dad was as cool as Aizawa" Lina mumbles and sighs sadly. Dante frowns at her.

"Your dad bought us a camper, Lina.." He reminds her and shakes his head. "Let's go in before you curse your mother..." Lina takes his hand and the three of them head into the bar together.

.......

Vivi loves the Coyote. The music. The lighting. The music. And the people. It's one of the warmest places in Night City. Not as dangerous as some, not as elitist as others. It sits in a very happy middle ground. Vivi sits on a stool at the bar, waiting to put in their order whilst the rest of the group sits at a table tucked away next to a arcade game, which Vance is eyeing up to play.

"Heya, Niña" Pepe greets as he sets a few drinks on the bar for the patron next to her. "Are you ready to order?"

"Two burgers, one with salad, one with fries, a chilaquiles, quesabirria tacos, and a carnitas nachos" She lists off. "And a round of Brosephs"

"I'll bring your drinks straight over" Pepe informs her as he makes a note of the order.

"Thanks, Pepe" She tells him and then places her hand on the receiver on the bar to pay as it lights up. A light in her eyes flickers as the process completes before she heads back towards her friends at their table.

.......

Pepe sets the bottles onto the table before he heads back to the bar. Dante is the first to grab his beer and take a drink, the rest of the group right behind him. Vivi crosses one leg over the other as she wraps her fingers around the neck of the bottle, pulling it closer, but not taking a drink from it just yet. 

"The downside of the Coyote" Dante complains as he sets the beer down, grimacing. Whilst the Coyote has the best Mexican food around and the best atmosphere in the city, its drinks are sadly lacking in variety and quality. Lizzie's is the best for drinks, especially cocktails. Afterlife for the harder stuff. Though Afterlife is mostly reserved for mercs, both hero and general. It's not really a place for teenagers. "Can we go to Lizzie's after this?" He asks. "Farewell drinks?" He glances at Lina as she touches his arm with a soft smile.

"I'm in" Jina answers warmly and looks at Vance who nods in agreement, curling his arm around her shoulder before he kisses her head.

"I have to be up early" Shira tells Dante sadly. Because she really would love to spend the rest of the night partying with her friends. "I have orientation at Militech"

"I thought you were joining Arasaka" Jani asks Shira, who shrugs.

"Militech made a better offer" She admits. "Apparently they've been watching me for a while, interested in my test scores" She smirks. "They offered me an extra 25% plus a brand new car of my choosing. I took it" She raises her beer to her lips.

"Fucking Corpo" Vance complains as he leans back in his seat. Shira rolls her eyes and reaches over to flick his forehead. He grumbles about it but doesn't respond to the action.

"What about you, Vee?" Dante asks, looking at her hopeful. She pulls a face and then shakes her head.

"You know how my dad feels about me staying out too long after dark" She reminds them. Dante snorts and shakes his head.

"Yeah, well, you're an adult, about to go off to play hero and follow the rules....break one, just this once" Lina nods in agreement before her eyes track something else.

"Hey, Jackie!" Lina waves to the teenager that passes their table. "Did you finally get your results? Did you get in?" She asks. He smiles brightly at her.

"I did. It's official....I'm now a future hero-merc, mi amiga" He admits, beaming with pride and excitement.

"You're going to U.A?" Jani asks and Jackie nods in agreement. "So's Vee" Lina motions across the table at Vivi. Vivi waves her fingers at him.

"Seriously?" Jackie exclaims as he moves to join them at their table, taking the empty chair at Vivi's side. "Everyone in Haywood called me estúpido for even thinking I could get in..." He frowns a little. "I don't remember seeing you at the entrance exam..."

"Oh, I took the recommendation exam" Vivi admits and shrugs a little as if it isn't a big deal. But it is a big deal. Of a year with 355 students, only 8-10 of them are there through the recommendation route. It's about 3%. And it only applies to the hero course. It is a big deal because to even be considered, actual recommendations need to be submitted, usually by a pro-hero or a fixer or a merc that has seen something in the kid they are putting forward. "Do you know which class you're assigned to?"

"1-B" Jackie answers and then raises an eyebrow to reflect the question back at her. She shakes her head.

"1-A" She admits and the two of them do deflate a little. Because, even though they have just met, it would have been nice to be put in the same class as someone they know. Jackie holds out his hand towards Vivi.

"Jackie Welles" He introduces, Vivi smiles at him and takes the offered hand.

"Vivi Aizawa," She tells him.

"This goes well, who knows," He starts, teasing a little. "We could end up working together, Chica" She pats their joint hands before she releases him.

"Will you join us, Jackie?" Jani asks as she picks up her beer.

"Ah, no, mi Madre is waiting" He motions to the upper levels of the bar as he stands. He turns back to Vivi. "Ahi luego, Vee" Jackie tells her with a wink before he heads away just as Pepe moves to the table with their food.



.......

Note: I have a few ideas for CP characters and their quirks. Let me know what you think and if there is any you would change.

Jackie: Quake (Vibration Manipulation)

Misty: Tarot (Seeing the future of a person through the use of tarot cards)

Johnny: Quirkless (I like that Johnny was quirkless, and then became a terrorist, as it kind of feels like that is what Midoriya could have ended up doing if not for All Might. With the way he was bullied and put down etc)

Panem: Boomerang (Control the trajectory of thrown objects.)

River: Glitch (Teleportation, or 'Glitch', a few metres away from their original position)

Viktor: Polyglot (Speaking every language instinctively, as well as mimicking anyone he's ever heard.)

Takemura: Obsidian (Allows him to turn parts of his body into obsidian, as well as full body transformation (which takes a lot of energy))

T-Bug: Techno (Controlling and "communicating" with technology)

Dex: Flash Forward (Seeing a few seconds into the future)

Evelyn: Synesthesia (She is able to read people's emotions thanks to the colours she sees around their heads)

Adam Smasher: Resilience (He can survive whatever punishment his body is put through, which is why he has survived the cyberware and modifications to his body)

Oda: Mantis (He has natural mantis blades)
