Nick was always left drained when his Quirk deactivated, but coupled with the pain dealt by his opponent he felt on the verge of falling apart. His vision was blurry and shaking. Sounds seemed to be coming from a mile away. His throat was drier than the Sahara Desert.
It took him a moment to realise Meiko was talking to him. Even turning his head to her was harder than it would normally have been.
“Am fine,” he was somehow able to say, managing to remember to speak broken Japanese - and forgetting they had agreed to switch to English. “As before said, grew up in tough town.”
He spotted movement from the corner of his eye. To his horror, he saw the unstoppable beef pile was at last getting back onto his feet. Jesus Christ, what was this guy? He must have had a Quirk he was unaware of. No normal human could be that level of tough, surely?
“Weapon!” Nick called to Meiko, holding a hand out in her direction. “Weapon now, quick!”
It hurt to so much as hold his arm out and keep it held out. Would he even survive another onslaught from this living bulldozer of a man?
“You goddamn mistakes of nature,” the beefy mountain growled. “I’m gonna smash both of ya!”

Meiko also saw the movement in the corner of her eye. And even before 'Sam' told her, she took off the protective vest and threw it at the beefy behemoth to try and give them extra time. She quickly lifted her shirt and drew out a shield for 'Sam'. It was a lavender themed Parma Shield. A spiraled lavender shield. The spiral is decorated with light purple leaves, and its center symbol is a lavender flower. It is also slightly see through as it is a weapon made out of hard light. She quickly handed him the weapon and then turned her attention at their foe She held her whip tight. If need be, they can attack him together. The whip and shield were her most non lethal weapons. Honestly Meiko is mentally kicking herself for using up a 2nd weapon. She didnt want to show anyone she could summon more then 1 weapon. She wanted to trick the crowd that she could just make whips. But she was in a military camp. Surrounded by soldiers who could kill an innocent little immigrant. Sadly, she had to follow the law and be protecting, that means jeapordizing her secret "I can always say that I can summon 1 offencive and 1 defencive weapon. They must never know all of my abilities" she thinks to herself

In his post-Quirk state, Nick was struggling to stay on his feet. He took another quick glance from the mountain to Meiko – and then froze.
She was…
Lifting her shirt…
He stared. Quite blatantly. He was still staring when she threw him the shield, which he only just managed to catch. Cheeks very obviously flushing, he managed to tear his eyes away from her, though there was a part of him that was disappointed that was all he saw.
He looked away just in time, however, for the mountain of a man charged again. Even with his weak arms Nick managed to raise his shield. The man’s fist rebounded off it with such force Nick’s entire body rattled and he fell onto one knee.
His opponent lunged at Meiko next, but Nick did not see what happened before there came a sudden cry –
“Alright, time’s up!” called the voice of the man from the table. “Wait, Suzuki, what the hell?”
Nick glanced in the direction of the voice to see the man from the table stood by the arena, finally displaying an emotion that was halfway between confusion and anger. “What in God’s name happened to your face?”
“These freaks are crazy!” exclaimed the mountain of a man, evidently named Suzuki. “They just went berserk on me! They oughta lock up the lotta the Quirked on an island somewhere, I tell ya!”
Nick’s fists clenched in fury at those words, but in his weakened state there was little he could do. Besides that, though, Suzuki was plainly lying: he was the one who had gone way too far.
“Is not true!” Nick cried. “He out of control! Slammed myself into ground and everything! Had to defend self no matter what!”
Christ, he hoped Meiko would back him up on this…

Meiko did not notice that 'Sam' who was actually Nick was staring at her magnificent body when she had her shirt lifted for a moment. Instead she focused on her foes. But before anything happened, their time was up. A problem occurred when the man saw the beefy boi was all battered and beat. Luckily the other one was no where near the trouble. But now the big guy, apparently called Suzuki lied that they did this to him for no reason.
'Sam' tried to stand up to them and call out their BS "Ohh, you poor dear" Meiko thought to herself as she held 'Sam' who was weakened. He can have her shoulder. But now she needed to stand up for him against these guys
"OI!! LEAVE THIS GUY ALONE!! He can barely stand on his two feet or even speak properly with how badly you mushed his poor brain!! Your Suzuki beat him to a pulp so bad he couldnt even stand. I even had to give him a shield to protect him from the battering. What we did was clearly self defence!" Meiko called them out as best as she can.
She tried to put emphasis on 'Sam's' weakened state and try to bluff that Suzuki did this to him. She also tried to blame the broken Japanese on them that he got so beat that he couldnt speak properly. She tried to downplay Suzuki's face. Meiko looked at 'Sam'.. negotiation was not her stong suit

Meiko did indeed come to Nick’s rescue, but the way she did so brought a weight of humiliation crushing down upon him heavier than the planet itself. She made it sound like he was weak and useless, that it had been all because of that things had escalated the way they had. It made him clench his fists and grimace, not wanting to look at her even when she looked at him lest it lead to him attacking her too. He did not speak. If he did he would probably have yelled at her.
The man from the table seemed to buy it, however. He let out a long, strained groan and dragged his hand down his face. “For God’s sake, Suzuki, we told you not to go overboard! I get that you think Quirkers are dangerous but you’re supposed to give them at least a chance here! And Aratama, why didn’t you say anything?”
The other man there, Meiko’s original opponent, merely grunted and shrugged in response. Evidently he did not care at all how violent Suzuki got.
The man from the table simply rolled his eyes, his initial indifference to everything returning to him once more. “Whatever. Suzuki, get your ass over to the medical tent. Quirkers, you guys leave your gear by the arena and then head there too if you need to. They’re not paying me enough to deal with any of this crap.”
He sloped back to the table without waiting for a response. Suzuki shot Nick and Meiko another baleful glare, but left the arena without trying to fight further.
While Nick supposed he should be grateful for Meiko’s assistance, the way she had made him out to be weak still bothered him too much for him to want to thank her. Was she right? Had he been too weak? His self-doubts haunted him like the most bitter of ghosts.
He climbed out of the arena and began to discard his gear, still not responding at all to Meiko.

She dismissed her weapons and took off the gear and then happily skipped over to 'Sam'. Oblivious she hurt his feelings "Wow! You were amazing back there. The way you were wailing on that guy. Hot!" she quietly praised him, she didnt want the guys to hear her "And your acting! Superb! You really fool em well, made em think you were weak. That got them off our case" she spoke to him in english, STILL unaware that he was butthurt by her defence
Although, what she did notice was that he was quiet "Hey? Are you ok? Do you need help with anything?" she asked in english, confused by his silence. She wasnt sure if he was ok or injured. He seemed well. Meiko took note to visit this place with Alaster once. Maybe they will have a better sparring session. Now that would be a 'fun~' experience
"Should I just leave him be? I mean we sparred and we did our part" she thought to herself as she shrugged and stopped to think more "Maybe I should just take 5 and try find someone else fun? Then again, I rarely get to speak english with someone, its fun to talk languages"

Meiko approached him, to his chagrin, while he had deep down expected her to probably do so. His mind was beginning to clear, however, enough to remind him that he was Sam Turner in that moment and Sam Turner did not care if he appeared weak or not. Unfortunately, Nick Cross very much did, so it was tremendously difficult for him to at last look up at Meiko and fight off a scowl.
Much to his surprise, she began to praise him. It felt incredibly good to be called ‘amazing’ and soothed some of the negativity that had begun to build up within him. Perhaps he would not attack her or yell at her, then.
“Thank you,” he said in English this time in response to her English.
He carefully removed his helmet. He prayed his wig had not been knocked askew by the carnage, but it felt fine to him. That was the last of his equipment to go. He was not going to bother with the medical tent. He did not need it, he figured – and he did not fancy running into Suzuki again, though he would never admit that.
“Don’t worry about me,” he said to Meiko. “I’ll be alright. It was an unpleasant situation, but it’s not going to put me off exploring this place some more.” Which was the truth, to be fair.
There. He had sparred alongside this irritating young woman: surely she would leave him be now, her curiosity about him satisfied.
“Take care of yourself, alright?” he continued. “Hopefully there won’t be anyone else like that lout here, but you better be careful, just in case. Nice tricks with the whip by the way.” He even managed to add a small smile. He deserved two Oscars for his performance. “I’ll see you around!”
With that he turned and walked away. As he did so, his mind suddenly went back to the first time he had met Meiko, and it hit him – she had called herself Rin there. How could he have forgotten that name? He did not know, but now he really did scowl. So which name of hers was the true one? Why would she need a fake name to begin with? Was she hiding, just like him? He kept walking, but needless to say, his curiosity about Meiko was a thousand times stronger than it had been before. He was sure they would cross paths again in the future, and when they did, he would get answers…
