3.) Teams of Three

The week of the written exams are over. All of class 1-A is gathered in their superhero outfits outside of one of the fake areas built for the school. The whole class is faced with 6 teachers; Midnight, Aizawa, Cementoss, Ectoplasm, Thirteen, and Present Mic.

"Wow, Kivi, your outfit is so cool!" Ochaco comments. "Whoa! Your hair is glowing!"

"Thanks," Kivi replies smugly. "Oui, I know it's glowing."

Over the past couple weeks, Ochaco has forced her way to be closer to Kivi, determined to change her mind about friends. Ochaco figured since Kivi praised her quirk that she might have a chance. Kivi hasn't changed her mind, but she has called her Ochaco after Kivi told her to call herself Kivi. Then again, Ochaco realized, she said she doesn't care for the last name formality.

"Now then, we begin the last test," Aizawa begins. "Remember it's possible to fail this final. If you want to go to camp then don't make any stupid mistakes."

"Uh, why are all the teachers here?" earplug girl asks.

"I expect many of you have gathered information, and I believe you have some idea of what you are faced with today," Aizawa says.

Electric boy interrupts. "We're fighting those big ol mega robots!"

"Fireworks. Smore's. Here we come!" Pinky celebrates.

"But that's not the case, is it?" Aizawa asks, looking towards Kivi. "Your new classmate was right."

Kivi gives him a confused look before realizing he must've been listening in after he left. Did I give him this idea?

"We're really going to fight the teachers?!" everyone shouts.

"Yep," Aizawa smirks. "This year's test will be completely different for obvious reasons. The test has a different focus. It will still be hero work, but it'll be teamwork and fighting against actual people. We're gonna have 7 groups each with three people to take on one of our teachers."

"We're fighting the teachers?!" Ochaco cries out. "You weren't kidding?!"

"Additionally, your opponents have already been chosen. They were determined based on my discretion and various factors including fighting style, grades, and relationships. Yaoyorozu, Jiro, and Todoroki are a team...

...against me," Aizawa says with a grin. "Then we have Midoriya grouped with Bakugo and Kivi. Your opponent is..."

He is cut off by All Might landing loudly in front of them. "I am here to fight!" he declares.

"We're up against All Might?!" Deku and Bakugo exclaim.

"This'll be fun," Kivi grins. Maybe I can finally see if my quirk will hold up against one of his punches?

"You'll have to work together if you want to win," All Might grins.

The three look at each other; Bakugo in anger and annoyance, Midoriya with fright, and Kivi with annoyance as she crosses her arms. All Might chuckles.

"Alright, I'm gonna announce the teams in the order you'll go," Aizawa says. "Sato, Kirishima, and Sero against Cementoss. Asui, Tokoyami, and Ojiro against Ectoplasm. Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, and Jiro against me. Uraraka, Aoyama, and Hagakure against Thirteen. Koda, Shoji, and Ashido against Present Mic. Mineta, Iida, and Kaminari against Midnight. Finally to go last is Midoriya, Bakugo, and Kivi against All Might," Aizawa says, reading the list.

All the teachers pitch in to explain the rules to them before Aizawa rereads the list once more for good measure before they head inside to get ready. All the groups head off to think through plans to win. Bakugo goes off on his own, leaving Midoriya and Kivi to head to the Monitor Room to watch everyone's battles. Sitting in a chair is Recovery Girl.

"K-Kivi, do you want to plan?" Midoriya asks hesitantly.

Kivi turns to him with a blank face. "We don't fight. We won't win. Besides we can't really do anything cause your boyfriend doesn't wanna cooperate anyway."

Midoriya's face becomes flushed in embarrassment. "B-boyfriend!?No! We... we were just... childhood friends..."

"Doesn't seem like he thinks of you as a friend," Kivi comments.

"After... he got his quirk he... became like this..."

"Huh, whatever," Kivi shrugs and turns to look at the screen.

"Well looks like I have my work cut out for me today," Recovery girl sighs.

It's announced for the first match to begin.

The two brutes decide to try and punch through all the walls that Cementoss creates as tape arms tries to swing over. The walls grow thicker and higher with each new one they overcome.

"Idiots..." Kivi mutters. "They won't win that way."

"You're right," Midoriya agrees. "Well, not the idiot part! ...The not winning part... A-Anyway Mr. Aizawa picked students versus teachers they'll have a hard time against. To pass, we'll have to recognize our weaknesses and overcome them."

Kivi gives him an impressed side glance, glad she wasn't the only one who figured it out.

"Exactly right," Recovery Girl says, not looking away from the screens. "So before it's time for your own final you should think carefully about your compatibility with who you're fighting."

"It's Midoriya, right?" Kivi asks.

He gives a small jerk of surprise. "U-uh yeah... I'm Midoriya Izuku."

"So, Izuku..." His face flushes a bit. She lightly chuckles to herself, realizing he doesn't talk to girls much. "You were the one who broke your body using your quirk from the sports festival, right?"

"Uh, y-yeah. You watched?"

"I did some research before coming to this school. I needed to know who my classmates would be."

"O-oh..."

"You got that under control now? No more breaking?" she asks.

A buzzer sounds. "Sato, Sero, and Kirishima have been knocked out. Exam over."

"It's just the first match and I'm already needed," Recovery Girl sighs, walking off.

"Yeah, so far," he admits.

"Good," Kivi says. "I don't want to have to take care of you for this. If I fail this exam because of you or Bakahoe, I'm killing both of you."

He gives a small gulp as he looks back to the screen.

The next group is frog girl, raven dude, and the tail dude vs the teacher who multiplies, Ectoplasm.

"Team Asui, Tokoyami, and Ojiro practical exam. Ready? Go!"

Immediately Ectoplasm clones surround them. They flick each other to the next floor and continue running. Recovery Girl arrives back and sits in her chair.

"Izuku," Kivi suddenly calls out as they watch the battle take place.

He turns to her cautiously. "Y-yeah?"

"I changed my mind. I think I can manage to get the cuffs on All Might, but you'll have to trust me," she says, facing straight still watching the monitors and not looking at him.

"H-how?"

"You'll understand when it happens. Just tell me that you trust me no matter what happens."

He thinks on what she could mean for a minute before he nods. "I trust you."

All the exams go by, and it's finally on the last exam. Most everyone passed except the first match and most likely electric boy as Midnight put him to sleep right at the beginning. As well as pinky as Present Mic's voice made her pass out.

The team against All Might stands in front a small city area waiting to be announced to start.

Bakugo glares at his two partners before walking forward. Kivi follows shortly after. Izuku gives them both nervous glances before rushing forward as well.

"Team Midoriya, Bakugo, and Quacchio practical exam. Ready? Go!"

Izuku rushes forward to talk to Bakugo. Bakugo let's out an annoyed shout before Izuku continues to try and convince him to not fight. It ends up with Bakugo backslapping Izuku to the ground.

"I don't wanna hear another word," Bakugo growls. "Just because you think you're getting stronger doesn't mean you get to tell me what to do."

While they're distracted, Kivi notices the upcoming blast a couple seconds before the two of them do and covers all three of them in one large shield. The harsh blast washes over them instead of what probably would've flown them back incredibly far. The force of the blow breaks all the nearby windows, makes cars fly by, and everything in its path to blow away.

"Whoa..." Izuku murmurs, watching how Kivi seems completely unaffected by keeping up the shield even with how powerful the blast was. "Incredible..."

After everything around them settles down, Kivi releases the shield and returns her hand to her side. The sound of footsteps enter their ears.

"Who really cares if I destroy the city?" All Might declares, taking up his role as villain.

Kivi blankly stares at All Might as he appears through the whipped up dust. He stomps on the ground, making all the dirt whip away and to give them all a clear view of each other. The three struggle to hold themselves up with the force of the stomp.

"Tch," Kivi snarls.

"If you think of this as an exam and not a real fight, sorry. I'm a villain now heroes. Remember that," All Might says. "You better come at me with everything you've got. I won't pull my punches."

"It's over if we fight him head on!" Izuku declares from the ground as he wasn't able to keep himself up. "Let's run!" He darts off back the way they came.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Bakugo shouts.

Kivi scoffs, walking back to Izuku. "You really think we have a choice, Izuku? All Might is the strongest person in the world. What, you just think we can blow him off and run to the gate without a problem? I get that you look up to and idolize him, but you need to get your shit together and get your head in the game or we're never going to win this."

All Might ends up beating the shit out of Bakugo before coming for Izuku. Kivi quickly moves out of All Might's line of sight. Izuku and Bakugo end up crashing into each other. One thing leads to another and Izuku ends up punching Bakugo then running into an alley, carrying him.

"Finally," Kivi says, rolling her shoulders and gaining the attention of All Might.

"Ah, the new student," All Might grins. "Almost forgot about you."

Kivi grins. "Good. Now, let's make this quick. While they sort out their differences, I'm gonna take my chance."

All Might raises an eyebrow at her before quickly moving towards her.

Kivi throws up a shield as he lands a solid punch on it. It doesn't break, but it does have a large crack.

All Might's grin grows a little wider. "I'm impressed." He wrenches back his fist once more only to fall somewhat forward before he catches himself as the shield disappears.

Kivi strategically moves out of the way, wrapping a small tendril of mana around his left leg and draining a lot of his energy. Nobody seems to have noticed the mana as it disappears as quickly as it arrived. She back flips away from him to give them some distance.

She now has the energy of All Might flowing through her. "Wow, this is a lot of power... Not surprising though." She grips her hands together with a grin. "This should be fun."

All Might turns around to her much slower than normal. "Why do I suddenly feel so winded?" he lightly pants.

"Alright, All Might, let's see what you got," she grins as her eyes completely turn blue, glowing along with her hair. Using the new energy in her body she rushes forward, aiming a fist straight into All Might's face.

He sees the power behind this and moves his head to the side, thinking she'd miss. As if expecting that, she switches it up and uses her other hand to give him an uppercut to the jaw. He gets knocked backwards as she jumps off his torso like a springboard.

His eyes widen as he topples to the ground for a few seconds. "That power..."

Kivi grunts in pain, looking to see her left arm is heavily bruised from the inside out. She quickly surges energy into the arm to heal it quicker.

All Might doesn't get time to rest as the two boys jump out with a 'sneak' attack and rush towards the gate after All Might is down. Kivi follows close behind them.

"We're almost there, we just have to make it to the gate. A little further," Izuku says. "It sounds a little ridiculous, but if we make it through that gate, we'll pass."

"Izuku, remember what I told you," Kivi tells him.

He nods. "It doesn't look like All Might is chasing us. Don't tell me we actually knocked him out back there," Izuku says.

"Of course not!" Bakugo shouts angrily. "You're the one who keeps crying about how it's impossible to actually beat him. There is no way that attack KO'd him. When he catches up to us it will be my turn to blast him to hell with the gauntlet!"

"Interesting," All Might says, running up between the three of them. "Then what will you do?" Bakugo goes to aim his gauntlet, but All Might quickly smashes it. "Don't tell me you're surprised." He breaks the other gauntlet on Izuku's arm. He laughs. "Alright heroes it's time for you all to die!" He knees Bakugo in the chin, sending him crashing towards a building.

Kivi quickly surrounds Bakugo in a shield and pulls out the cuffs.

"Kacchan!" Izuku calls out only to get his arm grabbed by All Might then slammed to the ground on top of Bakugo as he came jumping back to fight.

Kivi moves towards All Might's legs within the dust cloud around them only to get smacked away by All Might using Izuku. She surrounds her body in a force field a second before she smashes into a building. Bakugo manages to get All Might away and throws Izuku towards the gate. All Might retaliates by punching, flying backwards, and crashing into Izuku. Izuku smashes and bounces off of a nearby bus. As Bakugo distracts All Might, Kivi rushes over to Izuku who can't move very well because his back is broken.

"Remember when you said you trusted me?" she questions, covering him in a force field.

"Yeah," he grunts, looking confused. The shield begins to heal him and fixes his back enough. His eyes widen. "How?"

"No time for questions," she says, looking back at the two fighting. "We don't have much time left. Bakugo can't hold much longer. Use your quirk and distract All Might this time." She pulls out the cuffs. "It's time."

"Yes."

He gives a firm nod as the two of them rush towards them. All Might slams Bakugo to the ground, telling him goodnight. Izuku fully punches All Might across the cheek, and Kivi latches on the cuffs to his ankles.

As the smoke clears, Kivi smirks down at All Might. "We win."

All Might looks down to his ankles in surprise.

"Quacchio, Midoriya, and Bakugo have passed the exam," the announcement rings out.

All four are immediately taken to the nurse's office for Recovery Girl to heal.

"No," Kivi says as she arrives. "I'm fine. My body healed itself already."

"How?" Recovery Girl asks as she finishes off kissing Izuku.

"It's part of my quirk," Kivi simply replies, moving up to Bakugo. She places her hands upon his arm and pushes energy into his body, healing everything Recovery Girl couldn't.

Izuku, All Might, and Recovery Girl watch in amazement as his injuries heal before them. She moves to Izuku next, healing him. After she finishes him, she stands before All Might.

All Might coughs and a little blood spits onto his hand. "Yes?"

"Your energy with Izuku is almost identical," Kivi says.

His eyes slightly widen at her statement. "What do you mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean," Kivi says blandly. "Now, I can also tell from when I took your energy that you're really hurt."

"What? You could tell just by that?" Izuku asks.

"I also have seen what you really look like," Kivi admits. "I've seen your normal self walk around with the same clothes as this form. I quickly made the connection."

Recovery Girl lets out a quick chuckle before moving over to sit in her chair. "I told you to be more careful, All Might."

He sighs. "Yeah, yeah..."

"Let me heal it," Kivi demands.

"You... what?" All Might says.

"I can heal it," she says. "Not completely but as much as it can."

"It's impossible to fix," he replies.

"I can tell," she replies. "At least not of normal means. I realized rather quickly that you no longer have a stomach."

"That... is true," he mutters.

"I can't regrow your stomach, but I can heal just about everything else," she tells him.

"All Might!" Izuku exclaims. "You should do it!"

"What drawbacks does it have on you?" All Might asks.

"It'll only take out my energy, but it comes back after I rest," she shrugs. "Nothing big. I've done it for my dad before when his whole body was basically ripped to shreds, but we're not gonna talk about that." She moves up to his side and places her hands on his scarred area. "It'll stop making you cough up blood."

He decides to nod and she heals him, making the scar beneath turn into a thin spiderweb scar. All Might catches her as she passes out from exerting all the energy she did today. He gently sets her in another one of the beds.

"How do you feel, All Might?" Recovery Girl asks.

He squeezes his hands into fists as he looks at them. Surprise is all the emotion that is shown. "Better than I've felt for a very long time. I owe this girl my life."

All three of them look to the passed out girl. "Her quirk is incredible," they all say.

...~~~...
Still need opinions on who she should be with!

Originally I was gonna place her with Kaminari and Ashido but realized they were a team I needed to split. I really didn't want her to be with Bakugo and Izuku, but it was all that was left.😕
