ELEVEN: Relief

*Day of Exam*

Okay...offensive...sure...but rescue?! We didn't practice this shit!

I was currently soaring above the wreckage of the examination arena; muttering insults directed at the feathered pro under my breath. Sure, I'd seen him rescue a few people here and there when I'd tagged along on some calls, but we hadn't actually trained for it.
"SAVE YOURSELVES, YOU MORONS!" My ears twitched as I heard a vicious scream from below, and decided to check it out. My eyes fell upon three students and a pair of injured civilians; muttering amongst themselves.
"Bakugou, what the hell, man?!" A red-head was gawking at a seething blond; looking extremely taken aback along with his other companion.

"NEGATIVE POINTS!" The duo; stuck in the crevice below, shouted in unison. They only seemed to make the boy angrier. Before he had the chance to make things worse for himself, I swooped down and landed behind the markers; forcing a smile onto my face.
"I'm here to help! Are you injured at all?" I asked them sweetly. The woman was clutching her arm to her chest, and they both looked pretty battered.

Realistic makeup skills...

"I think my arm is broken...but apart from that, we're just a bit shaken up..." The lady explained; her voice so fake that it made me nauseous.
"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm going to get you to safety." I proceeded to pick her up as gently as possible; internally screeching at her weight before turning my attention to the man and activating my vocal quirk. "Sir, please attempt to climb out for me~" It came out in a sing-song tone; sweet and subtle, and he nodded slowly in acceptance.
"Yes, Miss." He droned; proceeding to wander over to the side of the pit. I peered up at the boys above; ignoring the hateful glare I received from the bombastic student.
"Give him a hand, please, boys!" I asked with a cheeky grin; lifting myself and the woman off the ground with my bright, glowing wings.
"You're so pretty! S..sure!" The second blond; clad in black and white, nodded excitedly with starry eyes.
"Can do!" The toothy red-head added.

"Aren't you a little fucking old to be taking this exam?!" I'd had a feeling that the angry little boy wouldn't keep his trap shut, but I knew I had to keep my composure. I needed to keep my points.
"Probably. Aren't you a little young, first year?" I teased; adjusting the position of my wings so that light shone into his blazing crimson eyes. I flew off before he had the chance to snap back at me, and I was pretty sure I heard faint pops and crackles as I moved my focus to the woman in my arms. "Sorry about that, ma'am! You're safe now! I've got you! Please tell me if you're concerned about the height!"

Wow...customer service voice, or what?

"Glad you shut that brat up. Such a rude child!" She muttered; performance slipping. I kept reassuring her as I flew to the medical station; quickly informing the 'nurse' of her condition before jetting back into the sky. I couldn't wait for it all to be over. I'd only rescued three people so far, and I knew time was ticking away. I needed to up my game or it was over for Hawks' solo career.

You dumb duck...Why'd you have to put so much faith in me?!

Another cry for help sounded out below, and I ended up outside of a collapsed building. It had formed some kind of cavern; rubble barely holding it up. I spotted another exam-taker standing before the entrance; concern all over his...

Bird face?!

"You okay there, kid?" I found myself approaching him; wings folded against my back, far enough away to make sure I wouldn't burn myself. The avian-faced boy turned to me; a little startled, before his face became neutral.
"Y..yes. I'm fine..." He mumbled; polite yet distant.
"Then why the hesitation?" I tried to put a stop to my mind making horrid jokes about his rather gothic getup, but it was harder than I had thought.
"My quirk...tends to get a little out of control when it comes to the veil of darkness..." He said solemnly; and just before I could reply, something began to ooze from his chest.
"Just do it!" The sentient form of ebony haze groaned loudly; stiffening as it laid vibrant topaz eyes on me. "ANGEL LADY!" I sweatdropped, as did the student, as his quirk lurched closer; studying me excitedly.
"Dark Shadow...please control yourself..." He muttered; running his hand over his face.
"Well...why don't we go in together? Teamwork, ya know?" I suggested out of the blue; unsure why it even crossed my mind. "I'm (L/N) (Y/N). Songbird." I held out my hand, and he took it lightly; a polite shake, indeed.
"Tokoyami Fumikage. Tsukuyomi." He introduced himself, and then nodded to the demonic entity that hovered around my own quirk. "And this is Dark Shadow."
