MHA: Slipstream

...

<Japan / UA / 9:51>

Lena was walking down the street while humming a music with a cheerful look, she had finally managed to find a good place to go train together with Jiro as she had promised her.

Now all that was left was to organize the days, the routine and possibly a proper diet for Jiro, although she would have to ask her first.

She stopped humming as a huge crowd of people crowded around each other as they questioned every student who passed through UA's large door.

'Looks like they found out that All Might was teaching at the school...' Thought Lena walked quickly through the crowd hoping not to be seen by the press, she felt very uncomfortable with all the noise and people around her. 'Now I understand why Uncle doesn't like reporters...'

"Hey girl! You're a UA student aren't you, can you tell us something about All Might?" Asked the man with a big microphone pointed at Lena, soon everyone noticed them and pointed their microphones like guns at her.

'Shit!' Lena thought as she looked around nervously looking for a way out, but they had surrounded her so she had no easy chance to escape. Without her realizing it her breathing was quickening as she felt all eyes directed at them. 'Bullshit! I'm outta here!'

Shiz!

"I can't believe I used an Acceleration for that..." Lena muttered as she ran towards the school entrance, as she crossed the gate she turned to the crowd and shouted, "See ya stalkers!"

...

..

.

"THAT GIRL!!!" Shouted the same guy with the microphone as a vein appeared on his forehead, he tried to walk through the UA door only to have large electrified bars appear blocking his path making him growl in frustration.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a man with light blue hair and red eyes looked at Lena with a big devious grin his face.

Kyoka was sitting at her desk checking the networks on her phone, just wandering around the internet until she finds something more interesting than Heroes and Villains reports.

(Hero Killer Stain has killed a total of 31 heroes. This Monday-)

(Melissa Shield, breaks record by graduating from-)

(Leaked photo of All Might at UA. A few days ago-)

'Nothing interesting...' Kyoka thought boredly as she closed her eyes and let out a sigh. 'I don't know who the idiot was that posted All Might's picture but a truck should fall on him...'

"HEY!" Suddenly a scream snapped her out of her thoughts causing her to stand up in alarm at the sudden shout.

"WAHHH!" Kyoka screamed as she gave a small jump backwards almost falling off her chair from the shock. Hearing a giggle next to her she saw Lena laughing loudly. "What's wrong with you idiot!"

"Nothing, nothing! Just-" Lena sat down in the seat next to her still laughing lightly. "Uff, you should have seen your face... haha..."

"Grr, don't do that again..." Kyoka said as she growled in annoyance. "It's not funny."

"I can't promise that, you let out a really cute scream you know?" Lena said as she gave Kyoka an amused smile to which Kyoka responded by pointing her Jacks at her, though they didn't seem to scare Lena. "You have a cute face when you're upset."

Kyoka blushed slightly in embarrassment at having yelled in the middle of the classroom as she let out a resigned sigh at Lena's antics. "Thanks, I guess, how's the training going? Did you find a good spot?"

"That's right, I found a pretty good place that is more or less near a bus stop so we don't have to worry so much about the time" Lena replied as she looked at Kyoka with an excited smile. 'I've never had a training partner before I wonder how it will go...'

Before Kyoka could speak the teacher entered the classroom and in less than a few seconds everyone was silent and sitting in their respective seats.

"Well, they seem to be improving, but they can always be better... now I've seen the notes and the recordings of yesterday's exam, and there are some things I have to tell some people" Aizawa said while looking around the room, by moments the tension in the air started to increase considerably. "Bakugo, stop acting like a 7 year old, you're wasting your own talent. Midoriya, I see you broke your arm again and I don't want the "I can't adjust my Quirk" excuse, if you keep this up you'll never get high. Todoroki, don't rely so much on your Quirk and don't refuse the help of your teammates, it may cost you dearly in the future."

Each of the above mentioned had different reactions, one lowered his head in shame, another simply snorted in annoyance and the last one looked indifferent to the teacher.

Aizawa sighed as he looked wearily at all his students. "Now not to make this too long..."

Suddenly the class filled became stiff as a tree, almost everyone was waiting for a new exam with threat of expulsion or a new test that would push them to the limit.

"We have to elect the class president."

""""SO NORMAL!""""

After that Eraser went to sleep while the students decided what to do, in the end the robot boy/Tenya, decided to do it by voting democratically as a good country in freedom of speech that we are.

After a few minutes of collecting the votes the board looked like this:

.....

.....

Lena just stared at the board with dead eyes. 'I didn't even vote for me... who the fuck-'

The robot boy was depressed with the result as he muttered. "I had hopes of winning but..."

"So I'm the president!" Momo exclaimed as she raised her arms in a victory pose, she looked like a little girl with those stars in her eyes.

Ochako pointed to the board as she bowed her head. "But Lena and Midoriya were tied..."

"Mnnn, how nice, that they are both vice presidents" Eraser said getting up from his nap and ending that doubt.

'What a bummer....' Lena thought as she slumped back in her seat, she could have sworn she heard Kyoka's vengeful laughter but it must have been her imaginations.... right?

Not long after the group headed to the dining room, Lena and Momo ordered large amounts of food which they soon devoured like animals, very polite animals that is.

Kyoka just looked at them with a blank stare, while thinking about her two new friends and their strangeness. They were definitely good people, but she simply couldn't help but distrust them.

She had learned the hard way that the only person who can betray you is a friend, yes, high school wasn't very nice to her.

Although she would never show it she had a lot of insecurities with herself, something that affected her self-esteem more than she originally thought.

And it was all due to one person.

'You're not in high school anymore Kyo...' Kyoka took a deep breath as she averted her gaze from her friends to the ceiling. 'Then... because I still can't shake this feeling of rejection...'

Fortunately for her, music had been a good way to let off steam, playing guitar until her fingers ached, playing drums until your arms gave out, and singing until her voice was gone.

It felt liberating.

Suddenly, a robotic voice interrupted her thoughts.

"ATTENTION STUDENTS! SCHOOL SECURITY LEVEL 3 HAS BEEN BREACHED! PLEASE EVACUATE THE BUILDING IN AN ORDERLY FASHION!"

...

..

.

There was silence...

Before a Pandemonium began.

Screams, blows, tears, fear.

All this could be seen in every part of the school's dining room.

The students were trying to flee but there were too many of them and they were obstructing the door, making it difficult for other students to pass through constantly.

Momo who stood up immediately grabbed the wrist of a dazed Kyoka and a confused Lena, she was about to run away in the crowd but something pulled her arm and forced her to sit down again.

"Lena what's wrong with you?! We have to get out of here!" shouted Momo as she saw that Lena had been the one to pull her back to her seat. "We have to evacuate! Didn't you hear the voice?!"

Lena glared at Momo as if she was stupid. "Momo, you do realize we're in a building with a level of security that rivals Tartarus, right?"

"..." Momo was silent processing Lena's words.

"Besides All Might is in school along with several top professionals" Lena said as she leaned back in her chair ignoring all the shouting around her. "I highly doubt anyone would be stupid enough to get into UA."

Momo wanted to argue but suddenly to alarm stopped and someone shouted it was just the reporters. Momo finally sat back down but this time much more anxious than before, Kyoka just looked towards a nearby window though she looked a little paler than usual.

'They should sue the reporters for trespassing...' Lena thought with narrowed eyes as she calmed her pounding heart. 'God she gave me a good scare... but something doesn't feel right... how did you simple reporters get through the gates of UA?'

In the end Lena simply shrugged it off, but even after returning to class she couldn't shake the feeling that something else was going on....

She had a very bad feeling squeezing her heart tightly, she unconsciously tapped the Slipstream making sure it wasn't going anywhere...
