Even though Homework's Boring, at least Our Powers are Cool!

Carried by a frustrated cry, a pencil flew threw the air of our suite and bounced harmlessly off the window. I looked over at Subject 597-010V. Her wings were raised and fluffed out at her sides as she glared at a sheet of paper with numbers on it. They were bigger than the ones I was using.

"Easy," Subject 537-377K cooed, rubbing her back. "They're just fractions. There's no need to throw a fit."

"Oh, that's easy for you to say Mr-I-learned-fractions-too-fast-so-they-had-to-teach-me-measurement-instead!" She screeched back.

"You're just making it harder on yourself like Mr. Lincoln said. Remember, math isn't as scary as it seems." Subject 379-411S reassured her. Subject 597-010V merely huffed as she turned away, muttering about how 'math was evil' and needed to 'burn for all eternity'.

K sighed as he and Subject 668-518H did their best to comfort her.

"Ugh if only I could use my quirk! That way all I'd have to do is impersonate her to get the answers," Subject 597-010V grumbled, folding her arms against her chest. "Then I'd know how many groups Anna would make out of one hundred and twenty-one books for sure!"

"You were planning on using your power for that?" Subject 537-377K asked, raising an eyebrow. "What were you going to do to keep her out of the room for an hour? Tie her up and throw her in a random broom closet somewhere?"

"I was just gonna knock her out, but your idea sounds way better!" Subject 597-010V cheered.

Subject 537-377K hit her over the head with a rolled-up workbook, "That wasn't an idea and you aren't doing either, you brat."

Subject 597-010V whined as she rubbed her head in mock pain.

"Even if K wasn't against it, how exactly would you get her blood?" I asked, my eyes wide. "Your teeth look sharp enough to injure someone, but wouldn't you need to keep her quiet since biting usually hurts? And if you did somehow get her blood, how much would you have to take in order to look like her? I'm also curious if you have a time limit?"

As soon as the words 'time limit' left my mouth, Subject 597-010V covered my mouth to silence my ramblings. She rolled her eyes and with an exasperated yet playful sigh, she used her free hand to lift one of mine to her mouth.

"It'll only hurt for a second." Subject 597-010V muttered before nipping my pointer finger with a hum. I winced at the pinch of her teeth before widening my eyes at the sight of her body being covered in a gray goop that slowly changed shape and color until it looked exactly like me.

My newfound twin smirked, "The scientists called it Vampiric Transformation when it first came in. Basically, it lets me look, sound, and use the quirk of the person I drank from."

"I can hold the form for about a day and can choose between what form I take if I drink from multiple people." she continued perfectly in my voice.

I fell into a stunned silence at her explanation, my eyes growing as large as dinner plates from the new questions I had. However, it was soon broken by the gray goop losing its color and falling to the floor in large chunks.

"I only took a few drops from you, but next time I expect a full gallon, okay?" she giggled with a wink.

"That's so cool!" I yelled, shaking her hand away.

"It is pretty cool, but I can top it." Subject 754-092F said monotonously as he climbed to his feet. Waving his hands, chunks of ice began to cover his right side while fire took over the left. He wore a small smile as bits of embers and frost rose from the opposing elements he held.

"Pretty cool right?" Subject 668-518H asked. "While Half-Hot, Half-Cold is a stupid name, it does explain what I can do."

"More like boring!" Subject 379-411S cried as she shoved him away with her wing. Subject 668-518H fell to the floor with a light thump and a growled 'ouch'. "My quirk's way better than making fire and ice!"

A pink aura emerged from her fingertips as she tapped them against the unoccupied chairs, lone workbooks, and pencils. In a few seconds, they began to climb into the air.

"I can make things float by touching them!" she exclaimed before grimacing as one of the chairs loudly scraped against the ceiling. "But going over six thousand pounds makes me puke."

"Lucky for us that St. Bernard girl isn't here. That'd make the janitors quit for sure." Subject 668-518H grumbled as he sat up. Subject 379-411S merely rolled her eyes.

"It'd come in real handy if we ever need to steal something," Subject 597-010V said. "Like say an extra piece of cake for dessert or...an answer key? Not that I would have you do that for me, I mean! Unless you want to that is?"

Subject 537-377K hit her over the head again, "No roping the others into your schemes, V. You'll do your homework like the rest of us even if it kills you!"

The older girl glared at him but didn't say a word more as she went back to her work. I patted her on the back.

"It's okay, we can do it next time when he's not around," I whispered half-playful, half-serious. Who knew math could make you so angry?

"So what can you do, 353-600L?" Subject 537-377K asked. That made the others turn towards me.

I felt my face growing warm as I nervously fidgeted with my wing, "Uh, I'm quirkless actually. Chieko says it's a rare thing these days."

"That it is," he replied, smirking, "Also...gotcha."

Before I could ask what he meant by that, I felt my brain growing fuzzy. It felt as though a switch was flipped. Was this K's quirk?

|—|—|

"Did you have to do that to him?" Subject 597-010V asked. Subject 537-377K shrugged, muttering about how he thought it'd be funny. This caused her to loudly groan.

"Well, you're gonna be the one to snap him out of it!" She growled. "Not to mention explain just what exactly it was you did to him!"

Subject 537-377K smirked at her, "Whatever you say, deputy."
