A few minutes pass and you slip on your shoes to head for dinner. When the elevator doors open and the smell of food hits you, you realize how hungry you are.

Practically drooling, your stomach sets off a loud rumble. A gruff looking man laughs and slaps a tray in your hands.

"C'mon kid, let's get you some food! Trust me, you'll be eating a lot while you're working here! FT said you had a busy first day! That means no lunch, right?"

"I had something before I got here, but I should have eaten a bigger breakfast... I guess you know who I am?"

"Kid, it's hard not to when you've got 'STUDENT' right across your back! I'm the one who's getting you new gear after we eat! Engitech, pleased to meet ya!"

He holds out his hand for you to shake. It's covered in scars of various sizes.

"Thank you sir! I'm Y/N, but I guess you already know that!"

"So does everyone here! We all watched the Sports Festival and took bets on who FT would want. We were all a bit surprised to see you chose us! After that performance, we were thinking all the pros wanted you. You didn't get any offers from the top heroes?"

"Well..."

You think back to when you first were handed your draft list. Near the top was a name most kids in the hero program would fight to get. Hell, you probably would have, too had you not found out what he's really like.

"Endeavor did, but I don't think our quirks are the greatest to work alongside each other..."

"Well I'm not complaining! It means I get to make new things!"

"Oh good, Y/N, you've met Engitech." Fire Tamer walks up to the two of you. "Engi here is one of my personal heroes. His abilities are second to none! I really scored big time when I convinced him to come work for me!"

"You can tell me how great I am while we eat, this kid needs food if you want her to stay upright!"

"Yes, come with me; let's go line up!"

The three of you make your way across the cafeteria. The food smells just as good as the lunch at UA.

"Oh! I forgot my water bottle!" You realize.

"Don't worry about it, kid, we've got water here." Engitech says. "What do you think this is?"

"I drink a lot of water..."

"Oh it can't be that much!"

A few minutes pass and you balance your tray as you walk over to where the two had sat down. People chuckle at you when they see you walk by.

"What, did you take the whole water reserve?!" Engitech's jaw drops when he sees the six cups of water on your tray, all full to the brim.

"I asked for a pitcher, but they didn't have any left..."

Fire Tamer laughs loudly enough for the people surrounding you to look over.

"Hey, let the girl drink her water in peace! At least she's not drinking coffee like you, Engi!"

"Hey, it's not my fault you keep working me 'round the clock!"

A tray is sat down next to you. You look up and Kai gives you a smile. "Don't mind these two. They've known each other since high school. They can be a bit much sometimes. You'd think they were the young ones."

"Hey! Don't call your boss old! I'm only in my forties! Give it twenty years and see how you like it!"

"That's almost double my age!" Kai laughs.

"You're in your twenties?" You ask.

"I'll be 23 this year." Kai says.

"You're not that much older than me and you already have such an important role? Wow, that's really cool!"

"Yeah I scouted Kai out right after he graduated! Doing hero work on top of fire work doubles the paperwork. The typical person can only remember so much information when there's a roaring fire around you. Kai's a lifesaver to have around!"

"It sounds like you're really good at scouting talent!" You say.

"I like to think I do a pretty good job, considering one of the toughest first years at UA is sitting across from me!"

You laugh with the others and thank her. A few more people come and join the table. You meet so many new faces it's hard to keep track of which name belongs to who. Especially when everyone's dressed pretty much the same.

This is nice... I hope the rest of the week goes as smoothly as today...

With your stomach nice and full, your eyes become heavier and heavier. It doesn't go unnoticed.

"Alright, we better wrap up for the night. Our poor trainee is going to faceplant into the table!" Fire Tamer chuckles. "She still has to come get a proper uniform fitted tonight."

"Oh I almost forgot about that!" Suddenly, you feel more awake.

"I guess that's my cue to get up, too." Engitech sighs.

"Have a good night everyone! I'll see you bright and early!" Fire Tamer waves as the three of you stand up. "So, Engi, you have any ideas on getting Y/N a suit that isn't so restricting?"

"Well, I can shorten her coat to make it less bulky. Unfortunately it'll take about a week or so to make something brand new. Shipment's behind on the fibres I need to make new uniforms. I'll have to see what I can make up in the meantime." He explains as you step into the elevator. He types something into a pad on it, revealing a button, and scans his finger. You can hear a small click as it scans. Engitech pulls his finger away and you can see a drop of blood left on it. It lights up green with a ding, and the elevator begins descending. As the elevator moves, the button disappears again.

"What was that??" You ask.

"Security. Only me and Rin can get in. I don't like people messing with my stuff."

"Not to mention it's a security risk." FT continues.

"Wait, who's Rin?" You ask.

"You're looking at her, kid."

"Oh, I didn't realize that was you, FT!"

"My name now is different. Back in highschool, when I met Engi, I still went by my birth name. Now, back to the uniform. We can layer the fire resistant suit underneath to keep her protected where the coat stops. What about the pants?" Fire Tamer asks. Her posture had stiffened, and she began fiddling with the pocket of her pants.

I never knew she changed her name... She doesn't seem to want to talk much about it. I shouldn't bring it up again...

"Not much to do there for now, they're made pretty flexible already. I can take out one of the layers to reduce the weight if we have the suit underneath. She'll be fine without the helmet if she wears the cover, and I'll get her gloves for patrols."

"My gloves? What about the ones I used today?"

"I made these special after watching you in the sports festival, when Rin decided you were coming here to intern."

The elevator doors open and the three of you step out. The entire floor is a dedicated workshop. All kinds of machinery and suits are littered everywhere. There are several workbenches.

"Wow... There's so much down here!" You look around in awe.

"Welcome to my workshop, kid."

"This is where everything gets made for the station! Engi makes all of our costumes and suits, too." As you take a few steps in, Fire Tamer seems to relax a bit.

"What's this for?" A round device catches your eye. You reach out to touch it, and as your finger presses against it, it springs to life.

"Oh, you're about to find out!" Engitech laughs.

The metal sphere begins floating in the air in front of you. Suddenly, it begins shooting marble like projectiles at you.

"Ow, ow, ow!" The marbles pelt you in the face and without thinking you freeze the machine solid. It drops to the ground with a loud thunk.

"That's why we don't touch things without permission." Fire Tamer chuckles.

"I'm sorry!" You say. Holding your forehead, you thaw the machine. A bump was already forming. "Did I break it?"

"No, it's made pretty durable. We use these for training." Engitech explains. "How's the face?"

"A little tender," you laugh. "But I'm okay." Freezing a piece of ice in your hand you hold it to your forehead.

"Alright let's pull up your info..." Engitech sits down on a stool and taps away at a keyboard. On a wall mounted screen, a page with your name appears.

"That looks like what the pros have!"

"Students have them, too. That's how the school keeps track of your information. We've got everything about your quirk and your measurements from when you got fitted for your costumes." Fire Tamer explains. "We had to specifically request it for your internship, so don't worry, not just anyone can get it."

"It's a little embarrassing having my measurements up there..."

"Ah, just pretend you're at the expensive tailors getting a new fancy outfit!" Engitech laughs.

It's hard to picture him as a tailor though. He seems to be over six feet tall, and looks like he hasn't missed a day at the gym in years. With his gruff appearance, grease covered clothes, and scar riddled skin, it's odd to imagine him tidied up in a suit.

I don't think I can do that!

Engitech bursts into a fit of laughter and slams his fist into his leg. "Don't look too disturbed imagining me all dressed up!"

You and Fire Tamer join him laughing.

"Now, let's get these upgrades together!"
