Chapter 2: Training
They were all in class and had gave themselves nicknames and it was time to train.
Dabi was always the one who beat Rae and Hawks to the training arena.
Dabi laughs as he made it first and looks at them both. "You always beat us," Hawks exclaimed. Rae had crossed her arms as she looks up at Dabi, "Show off!" "Don't be so sad, we still have the other classmates besides our squad," Dabi says glancing over at the door.
As the figures appear, Bakugou, Shoto, Midoryia, Tamaki and Kirishma appear. They all walked over to Rae, Dabi and Hawks. "Y'all are so slow," Rae says yelling at them. Bakugou growls, "Ha! Slow? More like on time." "Someone is sure cocky," Kirishma says looking at Bakugou. "I like it when she is," Bakugou says softly. Hawks rolls his eyes as he stands by Dabi, "Keep your dick in your pants boys! We are training!" "Alright man," Kirishma says to Hawks.
The other students were now appearing for their training or doing the festival. Mr. Awaiza appears behind the students who were in his class. "You all will make me proud! Have fun doing the events of the festival. I'll be around later, don't kill each other, If you go against one another. Alright good luck," He tells them. He walks away from the group as they had to walk out onto the field area and seeing other classes.
Rae gulps as she seen all the students and sighs. She knew her quirk was more unique than others. Almost like Momo's or Bakugou's quirk. Her quirk was like creation but much different, her quirk was lightening dust type. It was an odd quirk she had but was able to make a sand storm with a bit of lightening. She was nervous about how everything and how it was going to go. Bakugou and Shoto had noticed she was nervous and walked over to her.
They were making sure she was alright and started talking to her. "Something bothering ya, Teddy bear," Bakugou ask. "Perhaps you're scared about the other students," Shoto pipes up after. Bakugou growls at Shoto, "Icy hot, that doesn't help her calm down!" Shoto looks down and gulps, "Oh my bad. Is there anything we can do for you snowflake?" Rae sighs, "I- I'm just nervous. This is the first time I've used my quirk and I'm scared I'll fail." Shoto puts a hand on her shoulder, "Don't be scared and using the quirk for the first time is odd?" Bakugou makes a face and looks at Rae, "Did you ever use it in training?" Rae nods, "I did but just nervous to fight. What should I do?" She felt like she wouldn't make it. Remembering her training, she always practice by making a sand storm then bringing lightening down to the ground. She knew that was her training and she even practice everyday after they were told about more training and festival. Honestly the festival wasn't really one if they were just training to be heros and wanting to safe the world. She smiles looking at them.
Bakugou sighs and just smiles saying, "Remember in the training or practicing with quirks, You destroyed Deku." Shoto crosses his arms and had his eyes closed as he was listening, "That's not much of a good pep talk. She could hurt any of us if she wanted." Rae looks up, "No, I remember Midoryia and I were fighting for training. He told me to hit him with All Might." Midoryia smiles and looks at Rae, "So puppy? Pretend it's me!" "Aye," Rae says with excitement as Midoryia smiles.
Shoto and Bakugou smile, they were ready to do this training. Everyone had been waiting for when they were called. Rae vs another classmate from Class 1A. Shoto's eyes open, "Huh? It's Jirou?" Bakugou looks at him, "It's because of the ranks Dumbass!" Midoryia looks over at Bakugou, "Kacchan is right on this." Bakugou acts cocky again, "Of course I am dumbass!"
Everyone had went to their stans to sit and watch the training begin. Dabi and Hawks were hoping to cheer Rae on. Rae had walk over to the battle grounds of the arena and looks up as Jirou had appeared. Jirou stops walking as she looks over at Rae, "You're like the new student and you got the rank? Let's see if you can beat me." Rae looks at her and glares softly, "This won't be too much but beating you will be fun!" Kirishma yells from the stans, "Let's go Rae! Go Pebble!" Once they had started their quirks, Rae strikes Jirou with her quirk. As Jirou starts to strikes, lightening hits the ground near her then a dust storm surrenders her. Jirou glares as she starts to strike her quirk at Rae, "Ugh! What is this?!" Jirou finally strikes Rae with her quirk but it's dodged by Rae. Jirou gets knocks to the wall of the platform. Everyone in the crowd was in awe at what Rae's quirk and her moves she pulled. Even her squad was surprised!
"Woah! That was amazing," Shoto says.
"How did she do that," Bakugou asks!
"It's a quirk of her," Midoryia pipes after what they were saying!
The announcer had said Rae was able to move on. Rae had a smile on her face and walks over to the seating with her squad. Jirou had gotten up and glares as she walks back to her seat with the others.
"Pebble, how did you your quirk let you win," Kirishma asked looking over at her. She looks over at him and explains, "It's a lightening and dust storm quirk. I can make a dust storm with lightening with my hands and eyes." "That's a powerful quirk you have," Dabi says looking at her and smiling.
"Next time, I wanna face you," Bakugou exclaims! Shoto had his eyes close again with his arms still folded, "You might kill her!" Tamaki looks up at them, "I don't think Bu-bunny wants to be hurt." Bakugou yells at them and growls, "Shut up nerds! I'll show her!" Rae looke at him, "Bakugou, I'm right here!" She slaps him and sits next to Hawks. "Ouch! I'll get you," Bakugou says as he gets up. Tackling her from behind and pins her down. Rae blushes as she started to struggle, "Get off me!" He smirks softly and looks at her, "No Dumbass! I said I'll show you!" Shoto gets up and yells at him, "Bakugou, get off her before we all get in trouble!" Bakugou didn't listen to Shoto and ignored that thought and got called out!
"Damn it, " Rae mumbles under her breath.
"We are screwed, "Dabi says harshly!
Mr. Awaiza had walked over to them and seen Bakugou on top of Rae. With his heartless act, he softly glares, "What are y'all doing?" Rae looks up, "Mr. Awaiza, this isn't my idea....he tackled me and i-." She was interrupted by Awaiza. He sighs, "Don't explain yourself. I'm sending y'all to a room. You all will have a little bit of time to talk." Rae looks at him, "This wasn't my fault! Why are you sending all of us to the room?" Awaiza looks at them, "It's none of your concern, just get up and head out. Eight of y'all go and head into the classroom!" "Yes Sir," Rae says!
They all get up, even Bakugou gets off Rae and start walking back to the classroom. Rae enters with the squad behind and sits down in her desk and crosses arms. Dabi and Hawks sits in a desk next to Rae and the rest of the squad, form a small circle around Rae. Mr. Awaiza walks in the room, closes the door behind him and stands there as he sighs. "You all weren't ready," he says looking at them. Bakugou looks up at him, "Ready for what?!" Mr. Awaiza looks at them and starts explaining his reason, "I disguise this training or event for a mission for Rae and you seven boys are supposed to be going on." Tamaki looks up and stutters, "M-mission? I- I thought we were training?" Awaiza looks up at him and explains, "Tamaki, you all are already trained and I lied about you all being in trouble. It was to distract everyone out in the training arena." Shoto looks up, "Hm? So what mission is this?" Awaiza nods and looks up at everyone, "I had a feeling you guys would asked that, it's a big one but it has to deal with Rae." Rae looks up, "Why me? Is there someone after me?" Bakugou growls and yells, "I'll kick their ass if that are!"
Mr. Awaiza raises his hand to stop them from getting upset, "No! But Im sending you eight on vacation, you have to solve something." Shoto looks up, "So a puzzle?" Awaiza nods, "Kinda but it's something to deal with your quirks. Dabi and Rae will be the captain of this mission." Kirishma smirks saying, "I can agree to that! Meow~." He gets slapped by Rae. She looks at him, "Focus!" He shakes his head, "Fine." Awaiza puts his hand down and looks at them, "Anyway, I will be sending you guys to the private plane. I need you all to be pack and meet me outside the dorms by midnight! If it's after midnight, whatever but no later than 12:30am." Rae nods and looks up at him, "I'll make sure they get their stuff!" Dabi sighs softly, "Alright. I might pack right away. We can all meet at the same place."
Awaiza nods, "Then meet at Rae's or Shoto's place. I don't care. Make that a deal." Bakugou snarls, "What if we are roommates with him?" "That's great. Just remember, at midnight and I won't repeat myself again." Rae stands up outta her desk and looks at them, "We'll be in Bakugou's and Shoto's dorm! If you agree say Aye". All the boys say 'Aye' and looks up at Mr. Awaiza. "Alright! Get going and I'll see you all at midnight," He says to them. Tamaki nods, "Yes sir." They all gotten up from their desk and starts walking out of the classroom and heading to their dorm rooms. They all headed to their rooms, to pack and change into comfy clothes. Most of the boys were all packed and met over at Bakugou's and Shoto's dorm. They picked a place a sit and looked up as Rae had walked in after Shoto let her in. She was wearing a skirt with a long sleeve turtleneck shirt. It was her favorite outfit as it was black.
Rae looks up at everyone, "Why is everyone staring at me?" Shoto chuckles and says in a teasing tone, "We never seen a gothic angel." Kirishma smiles saying, "I've never seen you wear that before." She giggles softly and starts dragging her bag, "It's a cozy on me. I brought my suitcase but it's a heavy." Shoto grabs it for her and chuckles, "What's in here, just shoes?" Rae shakes her head and replies, "uhh girl products just in case, and my clothes, plus other shoes." Shoto nods and places the bag near the rest, "I get the girl products and clothes, but why other shoes?" Rae shrugs, "I don't like wearing heels or boots all the time."
"Teddy bear, you better be wearing panties," Bakugou exclaims! "Don't be a fucking perv," Shoto shouts at him! "I wouldn't mind that," Kirishma says as he winks. Bakugou growls, "You better not touch her!" Rae gulps feel so uncomfortable as she heard them say that, "i- I'm wearing leggings besides panties. Jeez!" She walks over to where everyone is sitting and starts pouting. "Y'all took the comfy spots," she says still pouting.
"Bu-bunny do you want my spot," Tamaki asked. "Puppy, I can move," Midoryia says looking at her. Hawks smirks, "Hey kid, my lap or Dabi's is free." Dabi smacks him, "Don't tease her." Kirishma looks up, "Pebble, you can have my spot if you want." Shoto looks up, "Why don't I get a chair for one of y'all, so she can sit." Bakugou looks up, "Or she can on the floor with me." Shoto looks over at him, "I forgot you sat there after packing up. Rae, go ahead and sit by Bakugou." She smiles softly, "Alright then. You all were sweet to move for me but don't treat me like a prince-." She trips and Shoto was quick to catch her. She looks at him as her hand were a hold of his arms. "You alright," he asked looking at her. She nods, "Yeah..."
The rest of the boys were staring at them. Bakugou makes a confused look, "How did she trip?" Shoto looks at him, "It could of been something on the floor or someone kept their leg up." Rae gulps and giggles softly, "I- I think I tripped on the carpet." Bakugou nods, "Damn carpet. Well at least Icy hot caught you before you fell." "I- Yeah.. you don't seem mad," Rae says as Shoto helps her over to the floor by the couch. She sits by Bakugou and Shoto sits next to her. Bakugou chuckles, "I can't be jealous of my teddy bear." Shoto looks over at her, "Bakugou is learning if you end up with one of us and we want you, we have to share time with you." Rae nods, "Yeah. I'm surprised we were all sent on a mission. I hope there is a hotel room and pool. Maybe a personal shower." Hawks laughs, "Right cus us men don't wanna see your naked body."
"I kinda did last time," Kirishma says.
"I did too," Bakugou says softly.
Rae looks at them, "Get over it! I bet the mission is top secret, so y'all better be on your best behavior." Dabi looks up, "What should we do in the meantime." Shoto crosses his arms and taps on his chin, "I bet everyone is wondering why we were sent to the classroom. Also it doesn't make sense that he made training secret for a mission." Rae looks over at Shoto then the others, "Shoto is right... So when Mr. Awaiza said captains. Did he mean we will have to pick our team?" Dabi looks at Rae, "There's eight of us. So it be a team of four. So we have to decide who to pick." Midoryia pipes up and smiles, "Puppy should pick the ones who can keep her safe and be backup." "The smart side and strong side,"Shoto says looking at Midoryia. Dabi nods, "I was thinking about taking, Hawks, Midoryia, and Tamaki." Rae looks at Dabi, "So that leaves me with Kirishma, Shoto, and Bakugou." Hawks looks over at Rae, "It's better for you. Bakugou is strong and Kirishma can protect you. Shoto has smarts to where he can figure it out." Dabi nods and adds, "It also mean, Shoto can help both teams out. Let's just hope, you aren't in a room with them." "Why is that bad," Kirishma asked looking at him. Dabi blinks and says, "Have you seen any Bakugou."
Shoto glares softly, "You two get horny more than all of us." "Not true," Bakugou says as he grabs Rae's shirt and lifts it up, showing her bra. She squeals and slaps him hard then pulls her shirt down and covers herself. All the boys have a nose bleed after seeing what Bakugou did. Dabi sighs, "I didn't think you actually do that!" Rae blushes, "Baka!"
"Woah puppy," Midoryia says softly.
"I can't believe you did that, Bakugou," Shoto says glaring. "Ohh Bu-bunny," Tamaki says blushing. Bakugou laughs, "Hahaha, that slap was worth seeing her chest!" "Dumbass," Rae says as she glares at him. The boys try to calm her down but they can't. Rae gets up and runs to the bathroom and slams the door behind her. Their moods change as they hear her start crying. "I believe someone owes her in an apology," Shoto says softly. Bakugou nods, "Yeah." Hawks looks up, "Who's going to check on her?" Bakugou looks up, "Send the two soft boys." Dabi sighs and nods, "Alright then. Midoryia and Tamaki, go check and see if she's alright." Tamaki nods, "Aye!" Him and Midoryia get up and walk to the bathroom. Midoryia knocks on the door then opens it slowly. They seem her sitting in the bathtub just softly crying now. Midoryia walks over and kneels down as Tamaki sits by her in the bathtub and hugs her. "Puppy, it's okay," Midoryia says. Tamaki still hugging her says, "Sorry we looked Bu-bunny." Midoryia looks at her, "Kacchan can be a tease and an idiot sometimes." "Is there anything we can help you with," Tamaki asks as he lets go of her. Rae shakes her head, "No, I'm fine, just can't believe that happened." She hugs them. Bakugou had gotten up and walks over to the bathroom. He sighs as he looks at her, "I'm sorry, Teddy bear, I wasn't thinking and I won't touch you or act like that again. Can you forgive me?" Rae nods, "I- Yes." She gets up and walks to him and hugs him tightly.
Shoto looks at the time, "Hey guys, it's 11:50pm. We should get going?" Rae nods, "Yeah let's go. Everyone grab bags and let's head out!" They all get up and head towards the door where their bags were at. They all grab their bags, Dabi holds Rae's bag along with his. Starts walking out of the dorm and heading outside. They all see Awaiza out there and was smiling small. "Early as always Rae. Glad y'all made it. Follow me I'll lead the plane. Now did you pick your teammates," Awaiza says as he starts walking towards a small area with the private plane. Dabi nods and says, "We did! I have Hawks, Midoryia and Tamaki. Rae has Bakugou, Kirishma and Bakugou." Awaiza nods as they all keep walking and says, "Great! Those teammates better not screw up. Also you will be staying at a secret hotel, sharing rooms won't be a problem right? I respect you all to not screw this up for Rae and Dabi." Rae looks up as they walk, "No problem but I'm a girl, Sir." Awaiza glances at her and says, "Well, they have to respect your privacy. If they don't, report them to a guard." Dabi pipes up, "No need. I'll tell them." Awaiza nods, "Thanks." They finally get to the plane as they had seen it in their view as they walked. Awaiza says as he stops since they were close to entering the plane, "This plane will be operated by a pilot inside. He has no business with you all. You will do as you please and his mission is to take you guys to your destination and that's it. You can thank him but nothing more. Now you may get on." They all start to climb on the plane and he then shouts, "They are ready!" They all hurry and get on the plane. Find a seat to sit and then they fall asleep if they got tired. Rae waves and smiles as they all found their seats and waited for the plane to take off.
The plane takes off and heads to their destination. But they weren't going to be there til morning so it was best to get some sleep. Rae begins to yawns and leans her head back falling asleep. Dabi was up and looks over as some of the others starting to fall asleep beside Rae.
"You think this will be safe," Hawks asks.
"Probably? Mr. Awaiza did say, they know we're coming," Dabi says as he looks at Hawks.
"Good," Hawks replies back.
"I hope she's alright. Hearing her cry was sad," Dabi says as he rubs his head.
"I'm sure hummingbird is alright," Hawks adds.
"Should I sleep or stay up," Dabi asks.
"Stay up, Half of the others are staying up," Hawks says look over at some of the guys.
"Looks like Midoryia and Tamaki are sleeping," Dabi says softly.
Hawks nods, "They need it."
Shoto had gotten up and walks over to Dabi and Hawks, sits by Dabi, "Brother, hope this is worth it."
"It should be," Dabi says looking at Shoto.
"What were you guys talking about," Shoto asks looking at Dabi.
"The mission and Rae," Dabi says softly.
"Ohhh. You seem to care about her more," Shoto says glancing around.
"She's my friend," Dabi exclaims.
"She's mine too," Shoto says looking at him.
"He'll, she's friends with all of us. Don't get cocky," Hawks says as he yawns.
"I'm not and what does that even mean," Shoto asks looking at them.
"It means an attitude. If you thought it meant something else your being gross," Dabi says glaring.
"We have dirty minds so, right now if we weren't friends with Rae, we be teasing her and whatever," Hawks says softly.
"I don't think that way," Shoto says as he closes his eyes now.
"Not yet," Bakugou chimes in a bit as he looks at Shoto.
"What do you mean," Shoto asks opening his eyes and looks at Bakugou.
"Rae is a girl and we are guys. What do you think we think about," Dabi asks Shoto as he looks at him.
"Ohhh their privates," Shoto says as he was embarrassed.
"Mostly boobs but yeah," Dabi says nodding.
"Tch. I'm going to sleep," Bakugou says tiredly and lays down.
"You done wanna watch Rae and stay up," Shoto asks softly.
Bakugou glares, "We need energy."
Dabi looks over at Bakugou, " Not really, the mission ain't set til we get told what's going on."
"But everyone else is asleep," Bakugou says as he looked sleepy.
"Mostly, we are awake because we wanna talk," Hawks explains.
"It's going to be a long night," Shoto says as he rubs his eyes.
The plane was still in the air and Rae had twitch as she was having a bad dream. Dabi and Hawks had fallen asleep to not notice her twitch. Bakugou and Shoto had noticed it.
"You want to calm her or me," Shoto asks looking at Bakugou
"You do it," Bakugou says as he was too sleepy to move.
"But you're stronger than me, "Shoto admits looking at him.
"I'm tired, just get her over to us, so we can calm her down," Bakugou says softly.
Shoto walks over to Rae and gently wakes her. Rae jumps up breathing heavy and ends up being carried over to Bakugou. Shoto sits down and rubs her arm.
"Shhh, it's okay," Shoto says calming her down.
"Teddy bear? Are you okay," Bakugou ask in his soft voice and wraps arms around her.
Rae stutters, "I-i." She starts calming down and buries her face in Bakugou's chest. She felt a tear as he held her close. Shoto rubs her back and was pulled in by Bakugou. So they both could hold her close. "I thought, I lost everything. Even my team," she says softly as she looks at them with tears falling.
"Hey it's Alright," Bakugou says softly.
"It's going to be fine, Rae," Shoto says hugging her.
"You won't lose us or everything. Trust me," Bakugou says as he looks at her.
"Oh o-okay. Ca-can I cuddle with o-one of you," Rae asks looking at them. Both of the boys were shocked she as but they smiled as they were thinking.
"Would you like to cuddle with me," Bakugou asks looking at her.
"It's fair I carried you over here and you might as well sleep with us," Shoto says smiling.
"Mostly he does but you can cuddle me or him. I don't mind," Bakugou says softly again.
"Thanks. I just need some comfort.."
"That's what we are here for besides being on the mission," Shoto says nodding.
Rae smiles softly and sighs as she cuddles up to Bakugou. Shoto didn't mind as they all three laid down. Shoto was pulled into the pile and smiles as he cuddles Rae and Bakugou. The three of them fell asleep on the plane. No noises were made as they slept.
