One Hundred and Twenty-six

Looks accurate to me.

Thursday Evening:

Time for the final meeting with the heroes. I remind myself as I walk into the conference room at Hawks's agency. The meeting last night went smoothly, but I still needed some espresso this morning. Not to mention the coffee in my hand, with my offering for our host.

"Good evening everyone." I smile, handing over the chicken to Hawks. "You're not trying to bribe me, are you Ty-chan?" he asks, still taking the chicken. "Don't think I need to Hawks." I reply, before taking a drink of my coffee, "Let's get on with business."

I go through the same procedure as with the other two meetings, did everyone look through the folders and if there is any questions. There isn't, so I go on with the blueprints of the Villa along and the quirks they will be dealing with. "At the the start of the fight, Chargebolt will be at the front solely due to my assumption that the fake Pikachu on the Front's side might try to electrocute everyone else and Chargebolt is the only one, that I am aware of, that can handle the voltage." I say.

"But he's just a kid!" Mt. Lady exclaims, you are kidding me right? "You are now bringing this up now?" I respond coldly, a few heroes stiffen slightly, "I'm sorry, but you knew of my plans to involve the students for months now."

"I didn't think you where serious." she shrugs, not reacting at all to my tone.

"Well, you better fucking learn to take me seriously, Mt. Lady, because we have just over a week till the mission and lives are stake if we fail."

"And they put a quirkless kid in charge?"

"Are you sure I am quirkless? How the hell would you know if I am or not?" venom laced in my voice "Because for all you know, I could have a very powerful quirk and am just lying to prevent anyone from knowing my identity. Or, better fucking yet, my childhood took a slide into shit and when my quirk manifested it was another reminder of how things use to be."

Of course the only ones that really understand is Hawks and Toga. "Right now, we have time for you to act like a fucking brat." I say "No one put me in charge of planning this, I took the initiative because I know how serious this is and I am not fucking lazy. So, if you got a damn problem with this then you can try getting off your ass and actually do something to help instead of bitching about me being quirkless." I am so done with dealing with people who underestimate me just because I don't use my quirk.

I notice my fingertips starting to frost up slightly, so I stuff my left hand into my pocket "Is there anyone else that has a problem with me or my plan?" I ask in calmer, less threatening tone. There isn't, so I finish my presentation, my left hand staying in my pocket. 

Soon, I am done and putting my laptop away as the heroes and Toga leave. "You okay kid?" I look up expecting Hawks but it isn't. "Yeah," I smile at Kamui Woods "just don't like it when people judge others for their quirk or lack thereof."

"Understandable, I don't really see anyone stand up to Mt Lady like that though."

"Sorry, I'm usually much calmer about these sort of things." I rub the back of my neck, The stress must be getting to me.

"Actually, I admire that about you Ty Lee." Wood surprised me with that comment. "Y-you so?"

"Yeah, I'm actually wondering if you would like to go out with me once all of this is over." NANI?!?!

"um, as flattering this is- I am going to have to decline." I tell him "I don't things would work out."

"Because you are undercover?" he asks, "No, because I am already taken." and not to mention a minor. "Oh- well if things don't work out, keep me in mind as a option." the Number Seven hero leaves, allowing me to kneel down to fully process what the hell just happened.

"You good Zu?" Hawks asks, crouching down in front of me. I didn't even notice that he came back in, or did he even leave?

"I'm fine." I answer. Keigo tilts his head "Your left side was frosting up a little during the meeting after you got after Mt Ass and now your cheeks are red after being alone with Lord Tree."

"What do you expect? The tree fucking asked me out after saying that he admired that I stood up to the bitch." I exclaim/admit. "You're joking right?" Hawks laughs, I shake my head "No, but it doesn't matter because I turned him down for obvious reasons."

"Yeah, I don't think your dad would appreciate another one of his kids being in a relationship with one of his co-workers." Keigo jokes. "Poor guy." I smile, "Let's get going, I feel like treating you to soba." Hawks says as he helps me up.

"Azi's right?" I ask, "Why not." Hawks shrugs.

"I'll have to change before we go." I tell him, my brother gives an eggsagerated sigh/groan "Woman! Always having to make sure they look just right for the smallest things." I burst out laughing "That's why I'm straight."

"And me gay, I don't know how they manage them." Hawks winks as we leave the room. Myself in a better mood now.

Time Skippy

"Hi Yuki!" I smile as Hawks and I are let into the shop. It was closing time but Yuki saw us, "I was about ready to see is you had died Azula." the quirkless woman shakes her head before greeting Hawks.

"So late night soba?" Yuki asks me, I nod then she asks Keigo what he wants, "Chicken please!" he smiles. "At least it's not as general as Toya's response of food." I say, propping my chin on my palm with my elbow on the table. "He does the to you too?" Keigo asks. 

"Yeah, every time I'd ask him what he wants for dinner he'd always reply with food." I tell him "Or better yet, and I quote, Something that won't kill me."

"I'm not surprised about the last one."

Silence falls as the restaurant fills with the sounds of Yuki cooking and the smell of fresh ginger. Must be making Teriyaki chicken for Keigo.

"Hey 'Zula," the blonde says "do you know why this place is named Azi's?"

"Yeah," I smile, I was wondering when he was going to recognize the name "it was named after me." Cue a confused chicken, then: "You went by Azi?"

"Yup, long story short all of the other nicknames reminded me of home and more specifically Sho. But Azi stuck after Yuki called me it one day while I was helping her with making a soba recipe. Was called that through elementary school."  I sigh the last part as I sit up.

"Funny how the President told me a story about a girl named Azi with an ice quirk." Keigo says. "And that girl was me, and she didn't tell the complete story." I say, "You were listening weren't you."

"I thought you knew that my music was muted." I tease. "Funny, want to tell me the complete story?"

"Maybe later, but as a teaser that guy, Ito?, he was there when they tried to recruit me to that program." I say as Yuki comes over with the food. "Thank you Yuki." I smile, Keigo mimicking my gratitude. "You two enjoy, I'm going to finish cleaning up. Azi, make sure to lock up for me." she says. "Yes ma'am!" I salute before digging into the soba, man it been awhile.

I swear, most of this chapter was Azula getting mad at Mt Lady and I don't know where I pulled the Wood x Azula thing out of, I was just writing during class and poof! Wood asked Ty out and I went with it.

See y'all later! And I will be updating more this week.
