A Waterbending Quirk

Deal Gone Wrong

After changing back to her school uniform, Katara made her way back to the train station and waited for her train to take her to UA. While standing there, she lifted up the documents that were needed for approval for her work studies and stared at the signature left by Endeavor at the bottom. While it seemed pointless having this signed since the school was the one who arranged this, she also knew Endeavor could have simply rejected the offer this time. The first time with the internships, she didn't have much of a choice due to the confusion with herself and Endeavor. To clear up the air and everything else, the choice did end up working in many ways, both for her cover and the fact she was there when Tenya was as well.

Now though, with everything that happened in Kamino, the school wasn't just requesting this arrangement to save face, but for safety. The thing was Endeavor had to agree to it once again, and he chose to say yes. She shook her head as she sat down on her train, unsure why he would have wanted her to come back after they obviously despised each other... and her feelings only growing stronger after what she had heard from Shoto about his homelife. As the train moved on the tracks, she stared silently at the page in her hand, not even reading the rest of it as her mind spun in confusion. Grunting out, she shoved the pages into her costume suitcase as the train began slowing to her destination.

Walking off the train, she made her way out of the station and to the sidewalk leading back to UA. As she did, she noticed one of her classmates ahead of her, her eyebrow raising to the ash blondes limp. "What happened to you?" she asked, earning a glare from Bakugo.

"Shut it, Hair Loops! I don't need to hear anything from you!" Bakugo barked out as he forced himself up straight, his eyebrow twitching from the pain in his back. "I'm fine!"

"Really?" Katara raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms. "You sure don't look it."

"I said I'm- AGH!" He hissed out from the sudden kink he got in his neck, grinding his teeth in anger and stomping off. That kick from Mirko earlier was still making him ache, the teen growling at the fact he was still made to go there. "Just mind your own business!"

Katara tilted her head as she walked after him, shrugging as she made her way back towards school. She tried just thinking of her own situation, but was distracted by his constant growling and mumbling, frowning over to her classmate. "Rough day for you?"

"Shut up! I don't need sympathy from you!" He snapped back, shifting his neck and feeling it pop. "GAH! God damn that stupid rabbit!"

"Huh? Rabbit?" Katara asked in confusion. "Did you fight someone's pet or something?"

"No you idiot! That damn rabbit hero!" He yelled out in anger, making Katara's eyes widen in surprise.

"Rabbit hero? Wait..." Katara wasn't familiar with alot of heroes, but remembered a certain hero in the top of the ranks, someone who caught her attention because of how brash and physical she was. She couldn't help but smirk at the thought. "Did you get sent to Mirko for your work studies?"

Bakugo's eye twitched at her comment, glaring back at the waterbender. "Shut your mouth, damn it! I didn't ask to go there!"

Katara couldn't help but laugh at the situation, seeing him apparently get a taste of his own medicine. "Let me guess; you challenged her and she whipped your butt, am I right?"

"I didn't ask for shit! She challenged me!" He retorted and began walking down the road again. He rubbed at his neck as he thought back to her agreement, especially since he lost. "I'm stuck there and I didn't even get a damn say in it."

Katara's smile fell slightly when she heard that, having a similar feeling to that as well. "I get what you mean, honestly."

Glancing over, Bakugo eyed her curiously, noticing her frown on her face. He knew she was going back to Endeavor's agency, the very same place where she was made to go back during internships. Now his mind ignored the pain in his neck as he went back to his classmate's situation, trying to think of the other things bothering him. His eyes scanned around for a moment as he looked to make sure they were alone... only to grunt in annoyance when he saw Kendo just up the road from both of them.
