It was another restless night at U.A for Melody, she stared at the roof trying to sleep However every time she closed her eyes she was back at her home in the states the night of the fire. She opened her eyes up and saw she was back in U.A she looked around and it was just her empty room. "No one's there...right?" she spoke to herself. She knew now she wouldn't be able to sleep anymore so she decided it would be better to spend the time she is awake bettering her quirk. She made her way to the pool, the clear blue water helped ease her mind of the nightmares she recently experienced. Reflection in the water for a few moments before she stripped down to her swimsuit and placed both her hands in the water as she began to transform. Her eyes turned blue and her body slowly became water. She absorbed some of the water in the pool to grow in size and give her more "ammunition" to work with.
She closed her eyes for a brief moment before suddenly moving quickly around the area of the pool to practice her movements in this form. As she moved around the area of the pool she would quickly reform a humanoid figure before sending a blast of water at an enemy and turning back into a puddle to quickly move again. This exercise was to help her learn how to move more efficiently while transformed and hit targets quickly while continuing to move. After all a moving target is a harder target to hit. However unbeknownst to melody she was causing some noise that could most likely be heard of outside.

In the dead of night, a beat-up Darren quietly made his way back to school. He recently realized that if he lived on campus, he could sleep a lot longer, so he got himself a dorm room. It was still a bare thing, and he was still missing a roommate, but it had a bed and right now, he could use some lying down.
What he didn’t realize was that it was now a lot more difficult to sneak back in after he went fighting after school hours. The blonde delinquent was still up to his old shenanigans, apparently caring little for the fact it could very well get him expelled. Or at least, that’s how it was in other schools. So far, Darren had found the heroics faculty different, filled with unique people. He couldn’t bring himself to say he liked school now, but it was certainly better than the usual fare. He hoped things were different there too when it came to the “no fighting outside of school” policies that schools usually had.
The whole reason he was so beat up in the first place was that he didn’t use his quirk. The adolescent had a modicum of sense, and he figured he would get in a lot more trouble if he did use it. Honor among delinquents meant that the other guy refrained from using his quirk as well; realism meant that the fight had therefore devolved in a bit -- much -- of a slugfest. Both contestants went home with a collection of bruises and no clear victory.
On his way to his new home, then, Darren decided to stop by the school training facilities, which included a pool. He figured that if he could clean his face there a little, he’d look a little better, a little less suspicious, and things would go a little smoother. If the school didn’t catch him fighting, then as far as they were concerned, he was not fighting.
As he got there, however, he heard splashing sounds. Immediately suspicious, he mentally pressed C and went into sneak mode. The eye-shaped stealth indicator of his mind was closed; no one was seeing him, or at least that’s what he thought. He cautiously approached the source of these splashes, trying to see who was here causing them. He caught a glimpse of his classmate that confirmed his suspicions.
‘Right, that Evian-ass girl, good, I’ll just go around the--’
His thoughts were interrupted when the girl turned around and, in the middle of her exercise, inadvertently sprayed her delinquent classmate, who fell, surprised, square on his ass.

Melody had been completely absorbed in her training, eventually her movements became very graceful, it's as if she was dancing, the water flying around only added to the dazzling effects. The training was proving to take her mind away from that horrible night at her home, she loved being able to let loose with her quirk with no one pestering her about keeping it hidden or not showing it off for fear of bringing shame to her family. What was wrong with letting loose who she was? it was a question that weighed heavily on her quite often, she had been judged for showing who she was before, but now things were different..she could do what she wants!
When she opened her eyes a smile came across her face, that is...until she the shadow of a person who snuck his way into the pool. She screamed and instantly sent a blast of water at the shadow out of fear, she had another flash back to the person who attacked her that night. "WHO ARE YOU?" she screamed at the shadow. she used up the majority of her water and returned to her humanoid figure while her quirk remained active. Her mind instantly began to scan for possible situations to combat the intruder, she looked to the windows, if there were cracks in the wall she could slip through, but she then got a closer look at the boy and realized..it's one of those punks from her class.
"Oh..it's you..." she said seemingly calming down a bit before she decided to absorb more water from the pool and turn her arm into the shape of a hand cannon and threatened him. "Why were you peeping at me you peeping tom?!" she asked in an angry/embarrassed tone, the water practically turning red from the thought him watching her in private, was he waiting for her to turn back into normal so he could peak at her body..? speaking of turning back...where was her swimsuit? melody looked around but couldn't find it... she had a few more minutes left of her quirk so she wouldn't worry about it just yet since all darren could see right now was just a humanoid figure made of water.

“Blrblrblblbrr” is all that Darren managed to answer at first, as the girl was spraying his ass with water in self-defense. Self-defense from nothing, protested Darren’s subconscious. It was promptly told to shut up, as the delinquent often had to do. It never fucking shut up, though. Shaking the water off his face like a dog, he spat some out too. He looked at Evian Girl, who was starting to calm down. She recognized him, which made Darren sigh in relief. That was one hurdle passed. When he looked up again, however, she had her hand in a water cannon pointing at him. It was the wrong end of the cannon to have pointed at you, too. “Well, that’s a fine fucking how do you do,” he grumbled. “The fuck is there to peep at anyway? Your ass is water right now!” He was right, too. Right now, she was a vaguely shaped humanoid figure, which was kinda hot in its own right -- dont you fucking get me wrong, said Darren’s subconscious -- but it was something that would be allowed on Japanese TV in a kid’s programming block. In other words, it was socially recognized as something acceptable to look at. In his mind, Darren was absolutely fucking right and had the moral high ground, and he was going to hold on to it too. It’s not often that he had the moral high ground, after all. Still, that’s kind of hot, his subconscious reminded him. This time he didn’t tell him to shut up. He was forced to admit that it was quite right, as his gaze drifted to the girl’s Cristalline hips. His imagination suddenly got very productive and started drawing things in a corner of his mind that would not be allowed on a christian minecraft server. Specifically, it wondered what a partial transformation into water in strategic places would feel like.

"Who are you with? Tell me who you work for or i'll shoot." she yelled at him, was Darren the spy? Hmmm melody thought about it for a moment, she wasn't exactly sure. he didn't seem like he would be a very good spy..he wouldn't be able to censor himself for very long. Then he yelled at her about the peeping tom title she had given him and while he had a point melody was too flustered to care it still felt inappropriate to her. She realized darren didn't answer her question and fired a warning shot next to him, with a lot more force this time. "YOU DIDN'T ANSWER WHY YOU WERE STILL WATCHING ME." she said in a fit of rage before realizing something was wrong with Darren, he was hurt.
Her mood completely shifted out of worry for her classmate, she already had suspicions it wasn't Darren anyways so she dropped her guard and moved on over to him. "Oh shit, you're hurt..are you ok?" she asked him in a caring voice suddenly her demeanor changed like the calm in the ocean after a storm was over. She moved over the pool as the water in the pool connected to her lower half and allowed her to cross the aquatic bridge.
She got closer to him and looked at his face and saw the bruises he had and placed a hand on one of them lightly "Does that hurt when I touch it? How did you get these bruises?" she asked him, she knew little of taking care of wounds and bruises but she did know that if it's very sensitive it could be spell worse consequences for her classmate in terms of recovery. "Come on, lets clean you off. I missed a few spots when I blasted you." she said as she held out her hand and created small 'faucet' for him to clean his face with.

“What the f --” is all that Darren managed to say in answer before the girl shot more water at him with her cannon arm, which splashed a few centimeters to his left, and continued screaming at him like a furious banshee. What the fuck was she even on about him working for someone or some shit? Man, I just wanted to wash my face, why do I keep getting myself in those situations?
Before he could even scramble for an answer, however, Evian Girl dropped her cannon arm and her fury and began reaching for him on a bridge of water. She’s gonna fucking drown me. First time I get inside a girl and it’s to be drowned. Fuck my life, thought the delinquent before he noticed her expression and heard her worry about him.
The next few seconds probably would qualify as one of the weirdest moments of Darren’s life. There was this water girl touching his cheek with her water hand, which felt kind of like touching the surface of a body of water -- which made sense, but was still a really weird sensation.
There was the fact that she sounded like she was about to kill him not ten seconds ago and now was acting all caring, which was somehow more terrifying. He was visibly tense and staring at her intensely, but it was not the lewd gaze from before, but more of a 'I think if I rip my eyes off you for a second you’re gonna kill me' type of stare. She then offered a sort of biological faucet, telling him to wash his wounds with it. The fight or flight response almost made him forget he was injured.
A girl offering her bodily fluids to clean himself. He honestly didn’t knew whether to be scared or aroused anymore. He went with both.

Hmmm, he stayed quiet but his gaze did all the speaking to melody. "Relax pendejo, im not going to kill you. If i did i wouldn't have wanted to become a hero, killing the innocent isn't something heros usually do." She didn't really know what to say next. "You still didn't answer my last question, what happen that you got beat up this badly?" she asked again but with a more direct tone. "Students fighting outside of school training exercises is grounds for getting expelled...I'm not threatening you but if someone else caught you, you'd be in big trouble." she mentioned to him wondering what was so important to him he'd risk the education and training here.
After he'd clean up his face, she would use the extra water from her body to hold the blood inside and then let it go through a drain in the floor nearby that was usually meant to only take in pool water but she didn't think anyone would find it that way. After the two were done cleaning him up melody panicked and looked around, oh crap..where did her clothes go? she looked around and couldn't find them. "Shoot!" she muttered under her breath, she had to take better care of her clothes after she had manipulated her body out of them, that was one of the unfortunate things about her quirk, not so much a weakness but she'd die of embarrassment if during a fight she was suddenly naked when the transformation wore off because she forgot to grab onto her clothes.
"Have you seen my clothes? I don't have much time left before I change back..." she muttered to him embarrassed..

Darren gulped. Apparently, this girl was very set on getting answers when she asked a question and he had been quiet for a while. He debated his options for a second, clasped his hands together in a cup and made use of the girl’s human faucet -- god that sounds dirty -- to splash his face. It cleared his thoughts somewhat, and some of his snark returned.
“Ya? Heroes don’t usually say ‘Tell me who you work for or I'll shoot’ either, I’m pretty sure.” It was a bit of a gamble; if the girl really had something to hide, she was gonna attack him for sure, but he decided ‘fuck it’. He had a lot of experience with the ‘fight’ in ‘fight or flight response’ anyway if things went south, and his quirk worked underwater.
She asked him again how he got his injuries and got the usual spiel about getting expelled. As a former -- and pretty much still -- delinquent, Darren had heard it a thousand times. It only served to make him sigh. “Yeah yeah, fight and get expelled, I know this shit by heart. Why’d you think I swung by the pool before I went to the dorms?” He scratched his head, looking for a justification, and found one. “I’m getting hands-on experience and cleaning the streets of delinquents. How about that? Aren’t I a great hero already?” he said with a sarcastic smile.
He was getting a bit more comfortable now. An unfortunate consequence of a life of delinquency is that you get a little too used to being jumped and people saying they’re gonna kill you, so you start to take everything seriously, even mineral water girls. And soon enough, she turned into the embarrassed one, due to the looming prospect of a lingerie incident which, somewhat extraordinarily, involved no lingerie at all.
Apparently, her clothes didn’t liquefy with her and now she was looking for them before her Evian transformation ran out. He got up with a bit of a grunt and stared at the girl’s watery figure, his head cocked to the side. The look on his face was a lot more idiotic than it was lewd. “Sooooo… You’re butt-naked right now?”
He kept staring, clearly not bothered by the realization. Again, you could show that on the kid's block on Japanese television, so he was officially allowed to stare as much as he wanted. He had the moral high ground and he was damn well keeping it. Damned be the fact that he was about to lose it as soon as the girl's transformation would run out.

Melody sighed, he had a point when he commented on her mannerisms "Well trust me, you would have survived." she looking away for a second pouting at the fact he was right, she hated being wrong. When he finished washing his hands, melody reshaped her body to it's normal humanoid hands listening to him explain himself as he answered her second question. Melody then heard his second comment and flicked him on the forehead for his stupidity.
She didn't like his answer at all U.A was the first hero school to appear in the world, "if people started to learn that hero students began to go around picking fights then what kind of reputation would that bring to the school? Or worse what kind of reputation would that give people who want to become heroes?! Imagine the hero who comes to save you, used to beat your ass in for fun against their school rules..." she let out a visible sigh, it was not her place to lecture him and she had a feeling that even if he did she wouldn't get anywhere and or it would just bother him so she decided to let it go. "Whatever..that's gonna be your problem..." she muttered quietly as she had realized she was letting her emotions get the better of her, her passion for heros was very bright and she didn't want to blind darren with it.
'Now back to your regularly scheduled resque highschool moment'
When he asked if she was butt naked she blushed and covered herself with her translucent arms "YES, I'M NAKED STOP STARING." she said practically screaming, she looked around for her clothes but they were nowhere to be seen around the area of the pool. She began to look around for a place to hide, she could feel herself beginning to reach the limit of her transformation. "FFFFFFFFFUHHHH." she said running to the locker that was assigned to her and closing the door on herself and locking it. From the outside of the locker Darren would see a sudden rush of leaking out from from the locker. The transformation had ended and the extra water melody was holding was released back into the environment.
Darren could hear her physical bang her head against the locker for not thinking fast enough..."Darren..can you find my clothes? If you do I won't tell anyone about what I learned here." As she offered her silence to him then she blushed cause she realized she basically told him she remembered his name from class without him telling it to her.

“Ow,” he said when she flicked him on the forehead. It was more of an annoyed “ow” than a proper expression of pain. She went on a spiel that he’d heard a thousand times, about how he wasn’t supposed to fight and all this. He sighed. “Man, why do people always assume I pick on weaker people? I’m just looking for a good fight.” He rubbed his knee, remembering the vicious low kick the other delinquent gave him. He answered with a short left upper followed by an elbow to the stomach. That had been the end of the match. “Yeah, my problem if I get some extra fighting experience, I guess,” he said rolling his eyes. “I bet most of the goons here would be completely fucking useless without their quirk.”
At least his comment about her being butt-naked hit the mark, and it nailed it too given her reaction. Almost on cue, her quirk ran out and she went scrambling for her clothes, didn’t find them, rushed into a locker, slammed the door, and then water leaked from under the door.
Darren laughed and laughed and laughed all the while. It was hilarious. Ten different allusions sprang to mind. "Man, do I have that much effect on you?"
After a while, his laughter died down. Then he heard her bang her head against the locker and started again. When he finally stopped laughing, “For real, I promise this time,” she asked him to find her clothes.
“Sure, uh… Wait, what’s your name? No wait, you know what, you’re Evian Girl now. That’s your future hero name,” he snickered, getting up. He walked around the pool looking for a pile of clothes. He found one, and also a swimsuit floating in the middle of the pool. Guess she meant to reform inside it, he thought. He made waves with his hands to push it to one edge of the pool, jumped over the pool with a small activation of his quirk -- fuck walking around -- and grabbed it.
He pinched the strap between his index and thumb and raised the bra to eye level. He looked at it with a critical eye. C-cups, he estimated.
With another jump, he grabbed the clothes -- probably should have grabbed those in the first place -- and started back on his way to the locker where Evian Girl was holed up. He jumped over the pool a third time since it was shorter. Darren was not a master of efficiency.
“Here you go, Evian Girl,” he said, tossing the clothes over the locker’s open top.

"STOP LAUGHING." She screamed at him while banging her fist on the locker door. She was super embarrassed now that the ball was in his court and she was at his mercy. She clenched her fist, how stupid could she be for focusing her attention on Darren and not pay attention to the fact her clothes were gone? "Yeah yeah, laugh it up." she responded to his taunts, she stood on her tippy toes to be able to see out of the holes of the locker, it was apparent that he was enjoying this situation because his laughing was rather loud.
"It's Melo-" she said stopping herself as he cut her off "Evian Girl?! IT'S MELODY. M-E-L-O-D-Y." she said in confused anger. She then watched as he activated what seemed to be his quirk? It seemed to be- "HEY DON'T STARE MY BRA YOU PERVERT FROG" naming him after a frog since it looked like he could jump pretty far. She saw him jump a couple more times and analyzed his movements, was enhanced movements his quirk? oh well that information right now isn't really useful to her so she blocked it out of her mind and focused on getting her clothes back.
As Darren tossed her clothes back to her she wasted no time putting on the spare outfit she had brought with her to the pool. As she opened the locker door she stepped out slowly placing her foot first before stepping completely out, luckily the locker had not closed completely on her and she could still open it from inside. She had brought with her jean shorts and a loose white tank top to compliment it, she put on her sandals that she usually always wore outside of class. "Thanks, leapfrog." She had decided to keep that name for him after watching him jump around the pool, after all in her mind it was only fair since he named her Evian girl and she was almost sure he was gonna ignore her comment about calling her Melody earlier.
now that darren got her clothes for her she had to keep her word on her promise, but darren going out and fighting kids would still be a problem.."I'll keep the promise I made... but if you want combat experience you should find a partner to spar with then, not some stupid punks in the alleyway who can twist info and spread lies..." she added concern for him, why was she concerned? . "If you want, i'll spar with you..but like you said earlier." she paused using air quotations and giving a deadpan expression " Im one of those 'Goons who are completely fucking useless without their quirk.' " she said to try and make him laugh with the sudden serious expression "Maybe you can teach me?"

Now he was being called a frog. It made him chuckle. “Leapfrog? Really? Guess I should redesign my costume,” he joked. He shrugged. “I guess every quirk comes with its own crap. I can knock myself out and even blow up my own brain with my own blood. Cool, huh?” he added on a tone far too light for the weight of the words he was carrying. After a stretch and a yawn, he listened to whatever the girl had to say next while making his way back to the dorms. Now that she was fully clothed, there was no reason to stick around and get caught.
Again, it was the same sound advice he got countless times prior, though she did have a point. “Yeah, I guess there would be some fucks who’d be salty enough to get their ass handed to them that they would shit on me.” He sighed deeply, spoke in a defeated, half-joking tone. “I guess that’s it. Good-bye, street fights. You’ll always be a part of my childhood.” He made a grand gesture, exaggerated on purpose to add to the comedic effect.
He laughed when she paraphrased him. “See? Right on the fuckin money.” Her next phrase made him stop dead in his tracks, consider the girl, look her up and down. Teach her how to fight? He had no problem with that, but she didn’t particularly strike him as the brawler type. “You? A fighter? I guess I shouldn’t judge books by the bloody cover, as mom says.”
Now that he was looking at Evian Girl more closely, it struck her that she looked quite foreign too. He was almost getting used to it, with the sheer amount of foreigners in this school. “By the way, where the fuck are you even from? You don’t look or sound very Japanese.” Not that he looked very Japanese either with his blonde hair, but at least he spoke it as fluently as a native, which stood to reason since he was a native of the island.

Melody began to laugh when darren went along with her joke. "Pffft isn't it perfect? The leapfrog hero, frogger." she said in between giggles. That was until he mentioned knocking himself out and blowing up his own brain, to which she oddly stared at him for a moment. "What? What exactly is your quirk then if not enhanced jumping?" she asked curiously.
Melody followed Darren back to the dorms, tired after the whole event that just happened in the pool area. She hoped she could get some sound sleep now without disturbing her roommate. As Darren went on his monologue she rolled her eyes and smiled at his obvious sarcasm. She began to understand Darren's personality the more he spoke, scrapper kinda kid with a bigger than life personality that would fill an entire room. "Well im glad you're beginning to get it you dolt." she jested and then waved her hands at darren annoyed when he was right about her weakness of her transformation.
She looked at him and then kicked some of the dirt "Im not really a hands on fighter...but I need to learn some in case my quirk stops working for whatever reason." she said in a bashful and shy voice "I'm not that strong but i want to try and change that, my fist arent that strong.." she said clenching her fist and looking at it, it felt weird holding a fist, not her style. "Ah, I guess you caught me huh? My accent slips sometimes. I'm only half japanese, im also cuban." She added explaining to the blonde "It's a spanish speaking country very close to america, I grew up in the united states, specifically florida with my mother." Melody began to try and imagine florida in her mind, the white beaches with obscene amounts of seaweed which she found icky but it was a very comfortable place to live, it was very relaxed compared to the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. "My mom was cuban american and my dad is japanese." she clarified to darren, as soon as details of her father slipped out she immediately looked away and made a sour expression. She hated him, even when her mother died she was unaware if he even knew or cared for a matter of fact. He had to have known..it was the only way she got approval to even be here in the first place, he was her guardian but she has not seen him once. He was pathetic excuse of a man in her mind, not even a man, more like a ghost who gave her material desires. 'CRAP darren might ask me for more details about that! quick distract him!' she thought to herself.
"What about you? Have you lived in Japan all your life? What's it like? I've only moved here recently." She was mostly a homebody kind of person so she did not go explore Japan's sights yet nor did she even feel like it was worth it since there was no one to even enjoy it with.

“Frogger? Nah, I’ll get killed crossing the road,” he said realizing after the fact that the girl probably wasn’t gonna get the reference to the 70’s arcade game -- the seventies of the last century and millennia, not the current seventies -- that he played in his childhood. It was too late, so he quickly changed the subject. She wanted to know about his quirk, perfect.
He made a motion like he was pulling back the rubber on a slingshot. “Imagine I’m holding a slingshot. I’m the stone, and my quirk’s the slingshot.” He mimicked the release, voicing the sound effects. “Pshoo! And just like that, I’m gone. I can aim it wherever I want, so it looks like jumping to ya if I go up. Anyway, it ain’t no good for humans to accelerate so much so suddenly. Fucks with your blood flow. Do it the right way and it goes away from your brain and you pass out. Do it the wrong way… I’m sure you can picture what would happen if you pumped all of your blood to your brain.” He smiled. “Pop,” he said, mimicking an explosion with his hands.
When the conversation drifted to fighting, she looked down and kicked at the dirt, obviously bothered. He could hear it in her tone too. She clenched her fist, but it wasn’t very convincing. “Well, I only know one way. Punch and try not to get punched.” He shrugged, exaggeratedly again. “I can help with that, probably. It’s kind of my thing, after all,” he added, grinning a wide grin.
The conversation then drifted on the girl’s origins, as they started again on their way to the dorm. Darren let her talk, darting his eyes left and right, occasionally spinning 360° on himself as he kept walking, on the lookout for any sort of trouble. He was very experienced in the dodging of authorities and consequences.
He noticed in the corner of his eye that she looked away when she mentioned her father. Family drama, probably, he thought. Most delinquents had one of their own, so he was used to keeping a respectful distance -- unless, of course, he was looking for a fight. It usually explained the whole delinquency shtick, that they dropped as soon as their drama resolved and they became regular, productive, boring members of society.
For his part, Darren was just a fight nut.
In a rare gesture of kindness, to distract the girl from whatever was so bad about her dad, he held out his left fist for a bump and let the shitposting engine in his head run wild. “Ayyy, halfies represent,” he said in his best English and with his best American accent. “Hasta siempre Commandante”, he added with a much worse Spanish accent, spouting what little he knew of Cuban culture. If people were allowed to go on about kangaroos when he told them he was Australian, then he’d bloody well do it too.
“Ya, I’m a halfie too, but I was born here. Aussie dad and Jap mom. My dad’s a tour manager, my mom was a groupie and well, I was an accident,” he said bluntly. He didn’t seem to care much. “It’s nice, I guess,” he added about the country.” Lots of rules. People will look at you weird cause you don’t look so Japanese, and it’s gonna be even worse with your accent.” He shrugged again, remarked to himself he was shrugging a lot. “So far, this is the best place I found,” he said, pointing to the UA building with his chin. They were almost there now.

Melody was listening intently to Darren explaining his quirk, as the reference to the frogger game flew COMPLETELY over her head. "Oh i see.." she said not really understanding the quirk at first until the analogy came along and explained the whole thing. "Oh thats cool! that's pretty useful" she said until the realization hit her face when he began to give the details of the blood flow drawback "OH GOD." she said visibly surprised and shocked when the pop noise left his mouth. "That's kinda scary...have you ever had a minor mess up before..?" she asked curiously to see if there was a lesser consequence rather then just popping.
As he agreed to teach her how to fight she also began to think about what she can do to help him..after all it wouldn't be fair to him to waste his time and he gets nothing out of it right? Hmmmm but what could melody do that would benefit him? Aside from him being able to get some of the sparring energy out it was a kinda one sided deal. "Is there anything you want in return? I feel bad kinda taking advantage of you like this." she knew regardless he would help her, after all she could blackmail him but that was a total jerk move. One she was willing to make him sacrifice for her to advance her own goals so she can become stronger.
As the boy who began to look like a beyblade as if looking for something moved alongside her, she walked forward with both hands in front of her holding onto each other as she walked with a certain air grace around her. She managed to relax around darren now, he was the first person she managed to actually talk to since arriving at U.A. It was a nice change of pace melody was enjoying, and was evident by the gentle smile on her face. The atmosphere outside of the school was considerably cooler at night that made it enjoyable for her, she DESPISED being too warm, she preferred being cold.
"Your mixed as well?" She said in a curious tone until laughter escaped her lips when he began to try out different accents. She tried her hand at an australian accent to try and joke around as well. She then began to speak in english and switched inbetween with spanish to try and confuse darren. "Well then amigo hablas engles or spanish tambien? Or solamente puedes speak in japanese?" she said giggling between words. As the blondie continued to speak about the current affairs of japan she began to grow more curious. She had heard that the racism in the city against those with quirks was bad luckily she didn't really have many features that exposed the fact she had a quirk, but she felt sorry for those who were not so lucky. She also felt despair towards herself cause like the blonde had mentioned, she looked foreign and had an accent, those two things would give her foreign origin away easily and could cause he some trouble in the future. She needed to practice on that.. She looked up at the U.A building and stared at it for a few minutes, she felt sad cause now it meant they were almost home and she couldn't keep talking to him. "Well despite my training being interrupted I had some fun tonight at least." she said smiling at the boy who had been keeping her company for some time now.
