Golden Pieces of A Puzzle
"Ne, d'you just so happen to have one of the millenium items?" The greenette asked, confusing Todoroki thoroughly. "I don't know what you're talking about." he said dryly.
The greenette chuckled, "Oh, right! It's not something everyone knows about, huh. Well, I could tell you about it, if you'd like?"
Todoroki shrugged, he had nothing better to do. "I guess. Who are you, anyway?"
"Oh, right!! The name's Midoriya, Izuku Midoriya! Nice to meet you, Todoroki, right? Or would you prefer Shoto?"

"Man, the hero course is super cool!! How are you not more excited, Kirishima? We're going on a field trip tomorrow!!!" Kaminari exclaimed with a grin, as he, Ashido, and Kirishima walked to the cafeteria. Ashido nodded along, "Yeah, it's gonna be so cool!!"
Kirishima shrugged, looking away from them awkwardly, "I'm excited.. just... on the inside.."
The ghost of Kaminari's doppleganger who floated besides him said, "I don't get it. What's so exciting about this field that you are going on a trip too?" but Kaminari merely ignored him. No one else could see the ghost, only him.
"Sure you are, buddy." Ashido chuckled, nudging Kirishima's side. They all sat down at an empty table, and began eating as they talked about any and every random topic. Well, Ashido and Kaminari talked, with Kirishima making the occasional comment.
That was only interupted when a loud alarm started blaring, startling everyone in the cafeteria. "Huh? What's going on?"
"It's a level three security breach!! That's never happened while I went to school here!" Shouted one of the third years, "We need to leave!"
Those three sentences were the ones that sparked utter chaos and panic amongst the students. Everyone started pushing and shoving, trying to get out. In a blind panic, Kirishima clung onto the nearest person, who just so happened to be Kaminari. Ashido then dragged the two of them underneath the table they'd been eating at, which protected them from the crowd for the most part.
"Okay, so I happened to get a glance at who intruded." Ashido stated, "It was just the press. The three of us need to find a way to tell everyone, and get them to calm down. The question is, how?"
"Oh! Y'know how you were skating around on your acid in the 50-meter dash?" Kaminari said, and Ashido nodded, "Would Kirishima be able to skate on it?"
"Hmm... Maybe, if I made the right kind. Why? Do you have a plan?"
"Well, what if Kirishima skated over to one of the walls, and then climbed it? Then he could tell everyone!"
"How'm I supposed to climb up a wall..?" Kirishima asked, doubt obvious in his tone.
"Well... It's hard to explain, but I was thinking maybe you could like, use your hardening to stab holes in the wall? Y'know, to use as hand-holds" Kaminari replied.
"I uh... I don't think my hardening is that strong..." Kirishima mumbled.
Ashido replied with, "C'mon, you have to try!! I mean, unless you've got a better idea!"
Kirishima opened his mouth, as if to say something in response, but then he closed his mouth once more, and looked between the two of them. He sighed in defeat, "Alright.. Just, don't be mad if I can't do it right.."
Ashido then created an acid path for him to skate across, and he awkwardly slid across, stumbling and almost slipping the whole way. He crashed into the wall, and hardened his hands and feet, and hesitantly started climbing.
"It's working!!" Ashido cheered, grinning.
When Kirishima got high enough, some people stopped to stare at him. He seemed nervous under all the attention, but never-the-less he shouted, "E-Everyone!!! Calm down, i-its just the press!!!"
The crowd stopped, and panic quickly turned to relief as they started muttering to one another. Everyone went back to what the had been doing earlier, and some of their other classmates - Tsu and Shoji, he believed - helped Kirishima down.
Ashido turned to look at him, "That was an awsome plan, Kami!! I didn't know you were so smart!"
"Me?! Huh? Nonono, I'm not smart!!" Kaminari hastily said, before pausing. She was... She was right. That plan had been really smart. Too smart for him to have come up with. He wasn't the type to plan things, at least, not these kinds of things. Planning social events, he could do, but not... whatever that was.
So how had that happened?
Ashido shook her head, "Now I've got two people who deny their abilities!!" she said, with a dramatic gesture that told Kaminari she was just fooling around.
"I'm not!!!" Kaminari said, his tone coming out more whiny than he had intended.
"Sure, and I'm not pink."

Uraraka sat in a hospital bed, the silence of the room filled with a consistant beeping. Her legs were in casts, though she couldn't actually feel them.
She had been paralyzed from the waist down in the entrance exam. Not only was she unable to be a hero, but now she was also unable to help her parents in their construction buisness.
And plus, her hospital bill was certainly taking a toll on her parent's savings, whether they told her or not. That.. That made her feel guilty. If she hadn't tried to be a hero, and settled for helping out with the family business, none of this would be happening!!
She didn't know what to do with herself.

Sorry about the long wait, the lunch room scene had me stumped for a long time.
