It's finally time to head back to school, so the twins get ready early and head off to the crowded morning train. After the train moves off, someone points them out.

"Hey, are you the Bakugo twins?"

Everyone immediately looks in their direction. "Wow!" "Cool!" "You two were amazing!" Many other compliments fly out of people around them. Some were even admitting they were a little scary sometimes though.

Their classmates must've gone through the same thing as that's what they all begin to talk about before class starts.

Aizawa walks in, making everyone quickly get in their spots. "Morning."

"Morning, Aizawa sensei," the class responds back.

"Ribbit. Aizawa sensei! You don't have bandages anymore! That's good news."

"The old lady went a little overboard in her treatment," he says while itching under his left eye with his pinky. A scar is now under his right eye. "Anyway, we have a big class today on hero informatics." He pauses as the students have panic attacks racing through their heads. "You need code names. Time to pick your hero identities."

"This is gonna be totally awesome!" the class cheers.

Aizawa immediately activates his quirk and they quickly calm down, sshing each other. "This is related to the pro hero draft picks that I mentioned last time we were in class together. Normally students don't have to worry about the draft picks yet, not until their second or third year actually, but your class is different. In fact, by extending offers to first years like you, pros are essentially investing in your potential. Any offers can be rescinded if their interest in you dies down before graduation though."

"Stupid selfish adults," Mineta's voice shakily huffs.

"Now here are the totals for those of you that got offers," Aizawa says, pressing a button on a remote and making a list of names and their offers.

Todoroki 4123
Kaida 4053
Katsuki 3556
Tokoyami 360
Iida 301
Kaminari 272
Yaoyorozu 108
Kirishima 68
Uraraka 20
Sero 14

Kaida blinks. "Wow."

"In past years, it's been more spread out," Aizawa says. "But there's a pretty big gap this time."

"Gah!" Kaminari dramatically huffs, throwing his head back and slumping in his seat. "That's no fair."

"What about the real star, mwah?" Aoyama pouts.

"Todoroki got the most ahead of Kaida?" Jiro questions.

"Yeah, it's the opposite of how they placed in the festival," Kirishima says.

"They probably weren't excited work to with the girl who taunts her opponents," Sero whispers.

Kaida snarls. "Shut the fuck up, soy sauce."

"Despite these results, you'll all be interning with pros. Got it? Even those of you that didn't get offers."

They continue to talk about the interns then Midnight comes in to help with hero names. Aizawa decides to take a nap while she's in charge. Boards are passed out with markers to write down their hero names.

Kaida grins back at her brother. "Don't write what I think you're gonna write."

He snarls, harshly writing down on his board. "Shut up, Kaida."

She snickers, turning back to her board.

After a few minutes, Midnight speaks up. "Now students, who among you are ready to share?"

Everyone seems to remain glued to their seats, except the sparkly boy.

He walks up to the front with his flare. "Hold your breath."

Can't Stop Twinkling? What a fucking weirdo.

Students continue to go up. Mina's Alien Queen is rejected. Frog girl goes as Froppy. Kirishima goes as Red Riot. Jiro is Earphone Jack. Many arms is Tentacole. Sero is Cellophane. Tailman, Sugarman, Pinky, Chargebolt, Creati, Shoto, Tsukuyomi, Grape Juice, and Anima.

Katsuki goes up next. "King Explosion Murder."

"I'm gonna say that one's a little too violent," Midnight says.

"Huh?! What do you mean?!" he shouts.

"Why don't you be Explosion Boy?" Kirishima calls out.

Kaida laughs out loud at that one. "Good one!"

"Shut up, shitty soulmates!" he shouts.

Kaminari, Kirishima, and Kaida all begin laughing and poking fun at him.

"Murder Man!" Kaida jokes.

"Why don't we go outside, and I'll show you all exactly why murder should be in my name?!" He stomps back to his seat.

Uraraka stands up and moves to the front. Uravity. Iida uses his first name. Izuku chooses Deku, pissing the twins off a bit.

Kaida sighs, deciding to finally go up. "Well, I'm gonna be one half of the Explosion Twins. I've decided to go by Queen of Explosions: Hypernova."

"Ah, cause it's the largest space explosion, correct?" Midnight asks.

Kaida nods. "I have more power behind my explosions, so my name may as well be the strongest explosion known to man."

"I like it!" Midnight grins.

"Yeah!" Kirishima cheers.

Katsuki goes up right after. "Lord Explosion Murder!"

"That's basically the same thing," Midnight deadpans.

The three K's laugh again.

"Katsu, how about Dynamite? That was gonna be my second choice."

"The Explosion Twins: Dynamite and Hypernova," Kaminari thinks aloud. "I like it!"

"Me too!" Kirishima cheers.

"You two are so cute together!" Mina cheers. "Sibling goals!"

Katsuki scoffs. "Fine, whatever." He stomps back to his seat, slumping in his chair.

After the last name is decided, Aizawa wakes from the dead.

"Now that everyone has decided on your hero names, we can go back to talking about your internships. They last for one week. As for who you'll be working with, those of you who are on the board will choose from among your offers. Everyone else will have a different list. You have a lot to think about. There are around forty agencies across the country who've agreed to take on interns from your class. Each agency has a different specialty that it's heroes focus on. Keep that in mind."

"Imagine you were Thirteen, you'd want to choose a place that focuses on rescuing people not fighting villains," Midnight speaks up. "Understand?"

"Think carefully before you decide," Aizawa finishes.

"Yes, sir," the class responds.

Everyone is given their list as the bell rings for a short break. They have until the weekend to choose aka two days.

Kaida scans through her list. The list is in alphabetical order by their hero name. The highest ranked hero on her list is Best Jeanist. She huffs, glancing back towards Todoroki as his eyes widen at some name on his list. She stands up, slapping her list down onto her desk and walking over to Todoroki. Everyone becomes silent at the loud slap of the papers before watching her storm over to Todoroki.

He looks up as she stands in front of his desk. "Baku.. babe?" His eyebrows furrow as he says it, not sure if he should call her that. It's what everyone calls her, so shouldn't he?

She suppresses her annoyance with a sigh. "I know you don't owe me anything, and I don't owe you anything, but I'd like to ask you a favor."

Everyone in the room watches in shock.

"Favor?"

She sighs, trying to stop the anger from coming out. "Yes," she grunts through clenched teeth. "I want you to convince your dad to intern me."

"What?!"

"Why?" Todoroki asks, ignoring the screams of his classmates.

"My quirk is fire based like his just in explosions. Your dad has incredible control over his flames. I don't. I'd like for him to help me learn to control my explosions."

"Okay."

"What why!? I—Wait, you said okay?"

"Yes. I'll try to convince my father to have you intern with him."

Kaida blinks. "Seriously? What's the catch?"

"Catch?"

She furrows her brows. "Do you not know—Nevermind. What's in it for you? What do you gain? What do you want?"

"Nothing. You want to learn how to control your quirk better. I admire that you admit you have a weakness and want to better yourself. I'll talk to my father."

"Th-th-tha...ks... Than..ks," she grunts out, awkwardly walking back to her seat.

Katsuki smacks the back of her head. "Snap out of it, you look like stupid Deku."

Kaida snaps out of it, retaliating quickly and smacking him back.

...

A few days later, class 1A is gathered at the train station with their stuff to go intern. Endeavor reluctantly agreed, but it took a lot of convincing, according to Shoto.

"Everyone has their costumes, right?" Aizawa asks. "Remember you don't have permission to wear them out in public yet. And don't lose them or anything."

"Gotcha!" Mina squeals.

"Speak properly. It's 'yes sir' Ashido."

She slumps. "Yes sir..."

"Make sure you mind your manners with other heroes during your internships. Now get to it."

"Yes sir," they reply, everyone separating to their trains.

Todoroki watches Iida move off and his two friends go after him.

Kaida moves off with her brother, knowing his train is about to depart. "Don't cause Best Jeanist any problems."

Katsuki scoffs. "Like you have room to talk."

She rolls her eyes, wrapping her arms around him and leaning her head on his chest. "This is the first time we're going to be apart. We've never been apart for more than a day or two. It's... kind of strange."

"What, can you really not live without me? Pathetic."

She rolls her eyes and slaps his back. "Just admit that you'll miss me too."

He seems to relax then return the hug. "Yeah, yeah, I'll miss you too or whatever." He kisses her forehead before grabbing his things and heading into his train. "See you. Don't die."

"I'll be fine, it's you I worry about," she retorts with a grin. "Love you."

"Love ya too."

The train's doors close, and she watches and waves till she can no longer see him. She turns off, grabbing her stuff and moving off to find Todoroki.

"Oi, who're you looking at?" she questions as she moves up beside Todoroki. She glances in the direction he's looking to see Deku and his two friends. "What're you stalking them for?"

"Nothing. We should go."

"No kidding."

They get onto their train and sit beside each other. Todoroki begins to play a word game on his phone as Kaida looks out the window.

"Bakugo."

She glances at him. "Hah?"

"I'm worried about Iida."

"Four eyes? Why are you suddenly worried about him? You aren't even friends with him."

"He's been different ever since the sports festival and his brother being severely injured."

"Since when do you care about anyone other than yourself?" He doesn't respond or look at her. "It was Deku, wasn't it?"

"Yes."

"Of fucking course, little weasel..."

"But it was also because of you."

"Hah?!"

"I was planning to lose to you from the beginning. I wasn't going to use my fire. But you changed my mind, so thank you."

"Tch." She looks back out the window.

"I've changed too," he says. "I've... decided that I was wrong. Coming to this school isn't just about becoming a hero. It's also to make good friends. People you can count on once we become pros. People we can rely on when we fight together. I don't really know how to act on it. I've never had friends or socialized with others except my family until now. So... I hope we can become ...friends."

"Whatever."

"How about this is the 'favor you owe me' that you were talking about?"

"That's not how friendships work."

"From what I've seen with Midoriya, you don't know much about making friends either, do you?"

"Hah?! What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" she snarls, grabbing him by the front of his shirt and pulling him to her. Her face closely glares into his own, gaining the attention of other passengers.

"Am I wrong?" he innocently asks, lightly tilting his head.

She makes little sounds of annoyance before shoving him back into his seat and crossing her arms, glaring out the window beside her. Her lips are pouted and her brows are furrowed as her face twitches every once in a while.

Todoroki straightens out his shirt as he watches her.

"How did you convince your dad to make him intern me?" she asks once she calms down.

"I told him I wouldn't intern with him if he didn't."

She turns to him, a bit of surprise on her face. "Seriously?"

"Yeah."

"I don't understand why you wanted to intern with your dad in the first place after all he's done to you."

"I may hate my father, but I can't deny that he's good at using his quirk. I've only trained myself with my ice all my life... Now that I'm using my fire side... I need some help."

"And who better than the number two with the fire quirk?"

"Yeah."

~~~

"I've been waiting for you, Shoto... and whatever your name is."

Kaida snarls, looking around at the big ass office with basically nothing in it. "Don't act like you don't know my fucking name! It's Bakugo Kaida, and you better remember it because I'm going to surpass you one day. I have to if I'm going to be number one. The name's Hypernova, and that name will go down in history."

Endeavor scoffs, looking back to his son. "Shoto, you're finally ready to walk down the path of the mighty."

"I have no intention of following any path you've created," Shoto says. "Only I can decide my future."

"Heh. Is that so? You should go get ready. We're going out."

"Where to?" the two students ask.

"It's time I show you what it means to be a hero."

"I would also appreciate that you see my classmate as my equal. She was the one to defeat me at the sports festival after all."

Endeavor narrows his eyes, glaring at Kaida. "As you wish. Hypernova, was it? Why are you here?"

"I'm sure you watched my match against my brother. I know you wanted to see the girl who kicked your son's ass. You wanted to see if someone else would beat me. You've seen the power of my quirk, and you know that the power of my quirk far exceeds your own. And that my power far exceeds my current capabilities. I don't have good control over it, and I want you to teach me how to control it."

He grins. "Very well. You two suit up and get ready to go."
