One By Millions

chapter 52

A sigh left Shino's lips as she loomed over the city. Things were getting out of hand, but it was not all bad. She was happy that she lessened the damage to the city. She stood high and let her eyes roam over everything. Katsuki had joined the team at the hospital followed by Momo who had Jiro, Tsuyu and Ren with her. With all of them there they told her to go. There was probably something out there for her to do. And they were right. She left. They could handle it. For now she had a job. Her mother assigned her to a task. After taking in the city her eyes focused on locating her target. There was someone her mother wanted her to shadow. She was curious. Her mother did not tell her why she had to be a tail, but she was doing it no questions. She trusted her mother. So she followed. There were so many scents mixed into the air that it was somewhat difficult to focus on that of her target. But what little she could get out of it was familiar. A scent she hadn't sensed in a long period of time. It made her even more curious

A silent tap was heard as she carefully landed on the roof of another house. The figure she was following was impressive. Their steps were silent. Their movements careful. They could go and did go unnoticed by the untrained. But Shino kept her eyes in them. Their movement was familair. Where had she seen it before? She dived into her memories all the while silently landing on the hard road and slinking into the shadows. Someone who moved as smooth as a cat. So fast that she thought they might actually make something tip and fall, but it never happens. They were so fast that they were in one place in the blink of an eye. Who moved like that?

Shino hid behind a building when the figure turned around. She breathed calmly as a name and face entered her mind. Was it really her?

The figure continued on and so did she. The longer she followed after her the more it became clear that it was indeed her. How long had it been since they last saw each other?

She attached a web to a nearby building and subtly took to the sky. Her target looked around but saw no one. Her hood was over her face, keeping her hidden. She wanted to get closer. To identity the scent. The person. She had a feeling it was her. She was hoping she was right. If it was her she would take her chance to pull her into a conversation about everything that has happened.

She wondered how the others were doing.

Izuku let out a long sigh as he landed beside his friends. The group had been preoccupied for over twenty minutes. They had to work hard to stop the Nomu and prevent damage to the hospital. With the help of Sora's shield none of them could get in or out. With two teams each stations outside and on the inside things went fairly well and all the Nomu were immobilized sooner than expected.

But they were tired.

Sora slumped to the ground, feeling very weak. The drawback to creating such a large shield suddenly kicked it. If it wasn't for Shino's device having boosting his quirk he would not be capable of holding the shield for more than five minutes. Twenty minutes was impressive and apparently the limit of his boosted power. Momo had removed the device when he collapsed and fed him one of Shino's blood pill to restore his energy. The pill was then passed to everyone of the group.

Pro heroes had arrived and commended them for protecting the hospital. No one cared about the fact that they had no license. At least not at that moment. It was a relief. That would rather not deal with the adults. They did what they needed to do an that's what mattered.

"Anyone know where the idiot of a leader is? " Katsuki asked the group. They had left the hospital in the hands of the pros some time ago. After that they went around town handling anything that needed their attention as best and as fast as they could. They did not want to draw too many attention fro the pros.
