After killing Interceptor, Repton meets up with Dark Ace at a dark alley away from any prying eyes.

Dark Ace: Is it done?

Repton then pulls out the shield of Interceptor and presents it to the former Storm Hawk.

Repton: He fought a glorious battle and died a worthy death. In the Raptor Gang, when we kill someone, we take a trophy to honor their memory. Let his shield be yours.

Dark Ace looks at the shield of his former team mate and feels nothing but contempt. 

Dark Ace: And why would I want to honor the memory of someone so weak and pathetic? He meant nothing to me. Keep it for yourself!

Repton smiled at the aspect of keeping a trophy from a worthy fight. Dark Ace then hands him the payment on behalf of the Cyclonian Syndicate. As Repton left the alley with his payment and trophy, Dark Ace remained.

Dark Ace: It's done Count Ulric.

Count Ulric appeared from the shadows.

Count Ulric: You have done well Dark Ace. You showed initiative and corrected a failure. I must say, I'm impressed. 

Count Ulric then handed Dark Ace a weapon handle. Dark Ace took the hilt and then used his Crimson Lightning Quirk to form a sword with it. 

Count Ulric: Welcome to the Cyclonian Syndicate Dark Ace. 

Dark Ace smiled as he became a member of the sinister Cyclonian Syndicate. At the funeral of Interceptor, Aizawa and Starling walk over to Interceptor's grave. As she looks upon his tombstone, she dropped to her knees and began crying. Aizawa put his hand on her shoulder.

Aizawa: He was a great hero Starling. 

Starling gazed upon her brother's tombstone and made a vow before it.

Starling: Big brother......I promise that I'll become the best hero I can be! I promise big brother.......

Aizawa was moved by Starling's vows. He saw potential in her. He saw the makings of a great hero. Years later, Starling is now in UA at Class 1-A with Aizawa as her homeroom teacher. She has trained herself to effectively use her Quirk with the help of her adopted father Aizawa. On the first day of school, Starling was the first in class while Aizawa was asleep in his sleeping bag. As she waited, three students came in. 

Blue Haired Female Student: Excuse me! Is this Class 1-A?!

Starling: Yes. 

The Blue Haired Girl then looks to Starling with curious eyes as Starling is confused. 

Starling: Are you okay?

Blue Haired Girl: Yep! My name is Nejire Hado! These are my friends Mirio Togata and Tamaki Amajiki! 

Mirio: Heya! 

Tamaki simply looks down to the floor shyly. Starling notices this as Nejire begins talking with her.

Nejire: What's your name?

Starling: My name is Starling. 

Mirio: Nice to meet you Starling! 

Tamaki: Y.......y.......yeah......Nice to......meet you.....Starling......

Starling: Nice to meet you too Tamaki. If you don't mind me asking, is something the matter?

Tamaki started blushing as he completely turned around and hid his face. Starling was even more confused at this, but Mirio stepped in.

Mirio: Oh don't worry about that! Tamaki gets real nervous around new people!

But as Starling was about to continue her conversation, more students came in class. After everyone came in, Aizawa woke up from his nap and introduced himself to the class. 

Aizawa: Welcome to UA's Hero Course. I'm Shota Aizawa, you're teacher. Get dressed. We're going to the training field. 

Without hesitation or choice, Starling and the rest of Class 1-A got dressed in their PE Clothes and headed to the training field. Once they got their, Aizawa explained that they would be doing a Quirk Assessment Test. He tosses a ball to Starling.

Aizawa: Starling. I want you to throw that ball using your Quirk as hard as you can.

Starling: You got it! 

Starling got to the area where she held the ball in her hand. Her thoughts wondered about her brother. She remembers a memory of when she spoke to Interceptor. 

Young Starling: BIG BROTHER! BIG BROTHER! 

Interceptor: What is it Starling?

Young Starling: I got my Quirk! 

As the young Starling said that, her Energy Blast Quirk activated and she inadvertently shot an energy blast at the ceiling. Interceptor rushes to his little sister.

Interceptor: I'm glad you got your Quirk, but you have to be careful! What you have could hurt someone if you're not careful!

Young Starling: I'm sorry Big brother.....

Interceptor then hugged his little sister. 

Interceptor: You have nothing to be sorry about Starling. I can help you train to control your power. 

Young Starling: Promise?

Interceptor: I promise.

The memory ended as she looked to the ball in her hand. She glanced to her class as she saw Aizawa nodding his head. 

Starling: (This is it! Watch big brother! This is for you!)

Starling threw the ball as hard as she could. Once the ball was in the air, she held out her arm and used her Energy Blast Quirk to fire an energy blast at the ball, launching it farther. The class was in awe at Starling's display as she saw Aizawa showing the score.

Aizawa: 205 meters. Not bad kid. 

Starling smiled as the Quirk Assessment continued. After learning of the deception of expulsion, Starling gave it her all. Mirio ended up taking first place due to his Permeation Quirk. After school, Starling went home to Aizawa's apartment. 

Aizawa: That was quite a display Starling.

Starling: Thank you Shota. If it weren't for you, I would've never been able to do it. 

Aizawa: I only gave you the means. It was all you kid. Don't ever put yourself down like that.

Starling: I.....I just wished that my brother was here to see it.

Aizawa: He'd be proud to see the hero you've become.

Starling: I'm no hero. Not yet anyway.

Aizawa: You'll get there kid. Give it time. Just remember that UA is gonna put you through the wringer.

As Aizawa offered his advice, her thoughts soon drifted to not only her brother, but the man who murdered him. 

Starling: (Repton.......I'll find you......and when I do......I will have justice for my brother!)

Starling then begins to feel the effects of the day as she went to her room and fell asleep in her bed. She felt nothing but pride in herself as she had taken the first steps to become a hero. She was ready to become a hero to honor her fallen brother's memory.
