[Note: Shibuya is mentioned in the series, in Episode 14 of Season 2. I just wanted to clarify that and adapt Burnin's location for the story.]
You were hated by everyone at U.A. Your classmates, your teachers, the heroes… even All Might. You never understood why. No one explained it to you. But you learned not to show it. Not because it didn't hurt, but because you knew if you cried, you'd be mocked for being weak. So you pretended. You smiled when necessary. You nodded silently. You endured.
After the Sports Festival, the internships were announced. Everyone received letters, names from big, powerful agencies. You only saw one name: Burnin. It wasn't famous, but you didn't hesitate. You accepted immediately. You didn't want fame, you just wanted to be away… and maybe feel, for a moment, that you weren't a burden to someone.
You arrived in Shibuya the next day. Burnin greeted you with a smile and a fist bump. For the first time, someone didn't look down on you. They didn't ask why no one liked you, or treat you condescendingly. He just said:
Burnin: “Let's make this worth it.” And he did.
The patrols were peaceful. You learned to read the flow of the streets, to anticipate conflicts. For a moment, you thought: What if this was my real life? What if I could actually be a hero here?
Until that day came.
An explosion shook the air as you patrolled alone. You instinctively turned and ran toward the smoke. The cops or any heroes hadn't arrived yet, so you ran toward the blast. When you turned the corner, you saw them: Nomus. But they weren't like the ones from the USJ. These were slimmer, with quick, almost human movements, and eyes that seemed... aware.
You didn't have time to think. You attacked immediately.
At first, you won. The blows connected, you dodged them with precision. But they weren't stupid. They learned. They adapted. One grabbed your arm. Another threw you against the asphalt. You tasted blood metallically in your mouth. You tried to get up, but the pain was too much. One of them came closer to kill you.
Then, fire.
The flames engulfed the Nomus and threw it against a building, but it recovered easily. You looked up. You couldn't believe it.
There they were: Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki, Iida, Uraraka, Yaoyorozu, Kirishima, Asui, Jiro, Kaminari, Shoji, Sero, Tokoyami, Aoyama, Hagakure, Sato, Koda, Mina, Ojiro, and Mineta.
Class 1-A.
And they weren't alone.
Amid the flames and smoke, other heroes appeared: Edgeshot, Ryukyu, Kamui Woods, Mt. Lady, Pixie-Bob, Gang Orca, Endeavor, and Burnin, along with more pro heroes.
You didn't say anything when you saw them; you weren't interested in them now. Even though you were in pain, had some broken bones, and had blood coming out of your mouth, you stood up and stood on guard to continue fighting the Nomus.
