Darkside (BkDK)

~~** Down the rabbit hole. **~~

"Oh goodness sweetheart, no. Don't you worry. It was just an accident. No need for all that." As Midoriya looked up from his bowed position to smile at the kind sounding stranger her face quickly switched from near mocking to innocence and concern. "Here let me help you pick these up." A gorgeous looking woman with onyx colored hair looked at the Trainee Hero's flustered face with eyes that perfectly matched her silky tresses.

Unintentionally staring at her beautiful tan skin caused the freckled male's brain to temporarily short circuit. There was a real possibility that this was the single most attractive woman he had ever laid eyes on in his whole 17 years. His possible sexual orientation had nothing at all to do with his ability to appreciate her overly pleasant features.

As the elegant looking stranger bent down beside him, she began holding up drawings and notes written in crayon with misspelled words and sloppy kanji. Noticing the kind gesture, the dazed greenette somewhat snapped out of whatever spell he had fallen under. Flushing slightly pink, Midoriya rather clumsily helped retrieve his gifts from the children as they lay splayed out on the cold concrete. Of course the freckled teen had, as usual, failed to put up his cowl leaving the impressively increasing flush of his cheeks on full display.

The papers were all quickly gathered and looking up, the two locked eyes as the woman attempted to hand several pages to the now brightly blushing future Pro.

Task complete, the two rose to their respective full heights and noticed there was about a meter of space between the two making the distance just a bit too far for them to reach one another. "Come over here baby." Motioning with her unburdened arm, the helpful citizen tilted her head as she considered her unsuspecting prey. "You're so pretty." As she beckoned the curly haired youth towards her, there was a slightly unsettling almost echo to the woman's voice that was somewhat melodic.

Did her voice sound like that when I bumped into her? "Umm thank you?" Stepping closer, Izuku reached out and took hold of the stack of papers but to his surprise the woman kept her grip on them. "I don't know if I'd say that, but you are certainly very attractive Miss. Sorry to have bumped into you."

"Where are you off to, little rabbit?" Winking, the look on the woman's face became almost sultry as she stepped close enough to the slightly taller boy to allow the pair to comfortably look into one another's eyes. For some reason, the greenette couldn't look away from the woman's captivating obsidian orbs. Almost as if he were in a trance. He barely heard her question as she spoke in her eerily melodic voice. All the sounds of the world around him felt as if they were miles away. It was like he was trapped inside a bubble or had water in his ears.

Still holding the papers between them the pair stood mere inches away as uninterested passersby walked around them.

"I don't see a pocket watch, are you late for a tea party? Ahhhhh but you want to be a Hero. Don't you little rabbit? Guess that makes you Alice doesn't it? I should ask where the Vorpal sword is instead." Winking and finally releasing the papers from her hand, she leaned forward and whispered in the still frozen teen's ear, holding eye contact as much as possible. Those passing the pair could have easily mistaken the encounter as nothing more than a young woman flirting with a young Hero trainee.

How very wrong they would be though.

"Slay any Jaberwalkies lately?" Reaching out, the mysterious female grazed a freckled cheek with a long well manicured finger before straightening back up and closing her eyes for a brief moment. As soon as the deep black pools broke contact with their emerald counterparts Deku found himself shaking his head as if to clear away a fog clouding his mind.

How long have we been talking? Wait, WERE we talking? What's going on? I feel like I just woke up or something. The papers from the kids! Looking down it took the confounded youth a moment to realize his gifts were safely in his arms rather than scattered on the ground. When did I pick them all up? Flurry! I need to get going, I'll think about this later. "I'm sorry Miss, I'm honestly not sure why I spaced out like that just now but I need to get going to my partner."

With a pretty smile on her attractive face the understanding citizen began to walk past the still slightly dazed youth pausing when she stood just to the back of him and spoke one final time. However, when she did, the oddly resonating quality of her voice that was there when the two were eye to eye was gone. "See you later Mr. Future Pro Hero. I hope you and all your little school friends enjoy my gift."

Several moments later the fog that had enveloped his mind fully cleared and Deku began looking around for the woman that had been helping him pick up papers just a second ago. Scratching his head in confusion at not finding her anywhere he resumed his walk to meet Flurry. Who was that? Why did I space out like that? Sure she was attractive, but Kacchan is way more handsome than a pretty lady. Right? So that can't be it. Maybe I'm just tired from all the extra training we did over summer break with All Might? I bet it's because of those darn dreams! I know Kacchan is having the same dreams I am. Well maybe not the SAME ones but he is definitely having the same KIND of dreams. That was embarrassingly obvious the first time and he definitely had a few over break. I don't think Sero will ever be the same after seeing Kacchan washing out his shorts that last morning of camp. Slightly giggling to himself and continuing to theorize why he might have been so distracted by the stranger along the way, Midoriya eventually made it to his supervising Hero's location.

"Hey there Deku. How were the kids?" The sapphire-eyed Pro smiled at her intern a few minutes later as she held the store manager at arms length. The short balding man had hearts in his eyes as he rambled off promises for free lifetime supplies of various products in exchange for a date with Flurry. It wasn't the first time someone had promised her anything she wanted in exchange for her personal interest.

Unfortunately for the majority of her would-be suitors, she was unavailable. Those that seemed to not take her more subtle hints learned quickly that her attitude didn't quite matcher her image. Most couldn't keep up with her quips and rather severe sense of humor.

Their loss.

Stifling a giggle at the comical situation in front of him, the crinkling of the papers in his hands reminded Izuku of another very beautiful female. But who? The more he tried to focus on his mysterious encounter less than twenty minutes before, the harder it was for him to recall anything specific about the situation. Or the citizen he was with. He recalled it was a lady whom he walked into. She helped him pick up the children's gifts and he knew they had spoken together briefly and that she had been highly attractive. Everything was fuzzy and vague. No details of the encounter or the specific appearance of the stranger came to mind.

"You ok kid?" Shaking his head to clear the fog that was building in his mind again, Midoriya looked to his concerned supervisor.

"Oh! I'm ok. I was just thinking of something, nothing to worry about. The kids gave me these! Aren't they cute? They were all so adorable and they asked some great questions. There was this one student who had a quirk that-"

"Simmer down Green Bean, you're rambling. I'm glad it went well. You might end up being the agency's official spokesperson with the schools at this rate."

"Really?!?" The one hundred watt smile beaming from the boy's freckled face was refreshing to see. The look he had just moments before was completely out of character for him. This was far more Deku-like.

Patting his soft curls Flurry started walking towards the street. "Yep, why not? Now come on Rookie, let's get to patrol. You can put the drawings in the bag over there. Kelvin Blast is on his way to pick it up for me and take it back to the office since he's getting off his shift anyway." Soon the pair were on the sidewalk moving towards the far side of town on patrol route gamma through section six exchanging small stories of interesting events from the last week. By the time they were entering the doors of Might Tower hours later the emerald-eyed youth had almost completely forgotten his odd encounter with the beautiful woman earlier on in the day.

The returning pair headed to Flurry's small desk and retrieved their belongings that had been brought back for them earlier. Some of those who had work areas nearby inquired about the adorable drawings and the beaming greenette was all too happy to show them off. After a few minutes of chatting the Intern supervisor pointed out the time and helped her ward collect his prizes as they headed off to find his partner.

And rescue Spector if the booming yell coming from the hallway leading to the man's office was any indication of his day alone with Dynamight.
