This is it Uraraka you've been waiting all week for this. You chose the perfect song it's all about needing a hero and all Deku's ever wanted to be is a hero so this should work perfectly. I'm so nervous though it's terrifying doing this in front of everyone yet I'm excited at the same time. How do I make sure Deku knows I'm singing about him?...wait I've got it.

She looked up at Deku making eye contact with him. He was still smiling at her causing her to smile back. If she kept this eye contact up for a majority of the song and especially for the chorus he'd get the message. Or at least she hoped he would anyway.

Let's do this.

The music started playing and Uraraka didn't break eye contact with Deku as she began to sing.

"Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life!
Larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone, somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind, and the chill, and the rain
And the storm, and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night"

I...I did it. I actually did it.

She let the music play out and when it stopped everyone burst into applause and cheers and whoops. Even the girls behind her who were now surrounding her.

"Uraraka that was amazing" Asui said.

"Yeah I had no idea you were such a good singer" Hagakure chimed in.

"I know right I'm so jealous" Ashido whined.

"Not bad girl not bad" Jiro added with the smallest hint of a smile.
