Two Blue Flames

Things seemed to go back to normal after that night together, though Kit would catch Aizawa giving her little glances here and there when he thought she didn't notice. He had reassured her the morning after that he wasn't expecting anything from her, but she couldn't help but feel like she was leading him on. She knew that she had deep feelings for him, and they were getting deeper, but her heart still cried out for Hawks too.

She had also started talking to Yamada again, though it was tense at first. It took her several days to get him to stop apologizing, but now they spoke as if it never happened, and thankfully he still didn't tell Aizawa what their fight had been about.

Currently, the students were preparing for work studies. Again, this was new since first years never did work studies until the second year mainly because they usually didn't have their provisional license. It had started an argument among the staff, worried for their safety, but when it came to a vote, doing work studies had won.

She had been sitting in the commons on a Wednesday night when a couple of students came up to her and Uraraka stepped forward, "Ms. Kit?"

Kit looked over at the group before looking directly at the girl, "Yes, Uraraka? Is something the matter?"

"No, no, nothing bad." She waved her hands frantically in front of her before linking her fingers behind her back, "You know that some of us go to our work study locations Monday and I know it is very last minute, but… could we go shopping?"

"Shopping?" Kit repeated, questioning if that's what she heard, but when the other students behind her nodded, she knew she didn't hear differently, "Erm, I'm not sure…"

"Please!" Uraraka was the first to bow, but then the students behind her also did.

Looking away, feeling awkward, she thought about it, "I'll have to contact Principal Nezu to get his permission…"

The students looked relieved that she even partially agreed and gave her quick goodnights as they went to their rooms. Kit's ears flattened against her head as she thought about this and maybe she should've had a stronger back bone like Aizawa and said no.

After speaking with Nezu, he also seemed cautious about the idea, but decided that if they had escorts they could go. So, while she was still in the office with him, he contacted Aizawa, Yamada, and Vlad King about taking them on Sunday. Yamada easily agreed, while Aizawa didn't seem too thrilled, and Vlad informed them that he had previous plans.

That Friday, during class, Aizawa and Vlad had informed the students that there was an escorted shopping trip on Sunday, even for those not doing a work study. Thankfully only a couple more students than from the original group wanted to go and none were from 1-B. The original group had been Uraraka, Kirishima, and Kaminari, but when the invitation was extended to the rest of the class, Iida, Tokoyami, and Todoroki wanted to join as well.

Sunday came quickly, much to Aizawa's displeasure, and Kit stood before the students that were coming outside the main building, "I understand that most of you have your provisional licenses now, but please for our sakes, do not be reckless."

"Yes, Ms. Kit!" The students said in unison.

Aizawa hummed as he turned to head towards the bus, "Go get on."

Yamada jumped over towards Aizawa, "Aww, don't be a sour pus!"

Aizawa simply glared at him and after all the students got on the bus, he got on himself and took a seat, Yamada sitting next to him. Kit got on last, not missing the look Aizawa gave at the fact that Yamada was the one sitting next to him, and she sat in the seat across from them.

It took a little over twenty minutes to reach the shopping district and before leaving the bus, Kit thanked the driver who informed them to page him because he was going to go sit in a café until they were done.

The three teachers followed the group of students as they traveled between several shops. Kit often found herself between the two adult men and it almost seemed as if Yamada would bump into her on purpose to make her bump into Aizawa. It didn't exactly bother him, though he acted annoyed, but Kit was tired of feeling like she was going to trip over her tails because of him.

When the teens entered the actual shops, Kit, Mic, and Aizawa would wait outside so the students wouldn't feel too crowded. A few times, Uraraka would pull Kit inside a shop to ask her opinion about something since she was the only female with them, but Kit couldn't help but feel flattered.

Around lunch time, they all went to the food court and they found two tables to sit in; one for the students and another for the teachers. Aizawa had insisted on buying her a bento since she had fixed food for him so often even though she hadn't planned on getting anything and Yamada had bought her a drink and a dessert crepe afterwards.

"You two spoil me." She took a bite of rice from the bento, "We need to do this more often like we used to… I miss it."

"Yeah, we seem to be so busy with the school now." Yamada complained, "I sometimes feel like I'm even rushed in the studio."

"You'd think with us living on campus it would have become easier." Aizawa nodded along.

Kit finished up her food and as she did, she looked at the two, "I'll have to take you two out when we decide on a time so I can pay you back for this."

"Hm, you don't have to repay me." Yamada then took a bite of his food, "But maybe you could take Shouta out. It would be like a date."

Kit had been taking a drink of her bottled tea and nearly spit it everywhere making her cough and sputter, "Hizashi!"

Mic shrugged, looking between the two, "I know what happened between the two of you…"

Kit nearly scrambled out of her seat and was across the table to cover his mouth and whispered harshly at him, "The kids are right there, Loud Mouth!" She noticed that the students were looking their way, "You shouldn't say such things." She felt something wet and slimy glide across the palm of her hand causing her to yank her hand from his mouth, "Ew!"

Yamada laughed loudly, even a couple of the students joining in, "I was actually bluffing, but with that kind of reaction…"

She blinked for a moment, then her entire face lit up a bright red, then looked at Aizawa, "He is going to turn into a crispy DJ."

"I won't stop you." Aizawa's head was a little further down into his scarf, his eyes also glaring Mic's way.

"Hey, now!" Yamada put his hands up in defense, "I won't say anything!"

The students wanted to visit a couple of more shops, but soon they were heading back towards the bus. Kit had Yamada message the driver on their way there so that he could meet up with them. They made it to the large parking lot and saw the driver almost to the bus when there was a high pitched sound before the bus seemed to explode from the inside, but the flames were blue. The force of the explosion caused the driver to fly up into the air, but Aizawa reacted quickly by using his capture scarf to grab him.

Kit and Yamada instantly went on defense, Aizawa following after he got the man safely on the ground and the students had stumbled back to give their teachers room. When the flames died down, three figures could be seen coming from around the bus towards them.

Yamada turned to the kids and shouted, "Go! Run!"

Iida was the first to start going back, his commanding voice aimed at his peers, "Let's go! Let the teachers handle this."

Kirishima hardened his arms and brought them up in front of him, "It isn't very manly to run away!"

"We can help them now since we have our licenses." Kaminari brought a hand up to roll some sparks between his fingers.

Kaminari Denki stood at an average height with peach skin and relatively short blond hair with a black zig-zag streak on the left side of his hair. His eyes were a yellow color and his brows were fairly small. He was smaller than most of the other boys in his class and didn't look like he had much muscle mass.

Aizawa grunted in irritation, not taking his eyes off of the three figures coming towards them as he lifted his goggles into place, "It's the League of Villains; they almost destroyed you just a couple of weeks ago, what makes you think you can take them now?!"

There was a slow chuckle that came from one of the men, "Can't say I won't take advantage of idiots…"

He then looked off to the side to look at something, pointing their way when a large creature landed a few feet away from them, drawing the attention of the teachers. This seemed to be the distraction that man wanted because he lifted his hand and blue flames shot out towards them like a tidal wave. Kit shot forward in front of her group and countered his attack with her own blast of cyan flames. The force of her own flames stopped his and even started to blow them back towards the villains.

When the flames died down, the man on the other side was smoking lightly around his arms as he took in Kit's appearance, "Another blue flame quirk?" His now narrowed eyes darted over to the others, "Why don't we know who she is, Twice? Mr. Compress?"

The villain costume that Twice wore covered his entire body completely with the colors being black and gray. His head was covered by a mask with the upper half being gray with white eyes and the lower half being black. On each wrist he had a red and green wristband and on his feet he wore gray boots.

Mr. Compress was a slim man with light colored skin. His face was covered by a white and black mask and a tall hat with a feather was on top of his head. He had a burnt orange colored shirt with the color left up and a green bolo tie with a green and gold brooch around his neck. He had a black waistcoat over the shirt, black dress pants, and knee-high white boots with a small heel and black toe-caps. On his hands he wore simple red gloves and he held a silver-white walking stick with a gold handle.

"Why are you looking at me, Dabi?" Twice yelled back, panic in his voice, "Do we continue?"

Dabi was a tall, pale man that looked to be around her age with a lean build. He had semi-long black hair that was spiked all around and hung over his eyes. His eyes were turquoise with heavy lids and where the bags under his eyes would be was patches of purple skin. The same purple skin could be seen on the lower part of his face down to his collar bone and she could see his arms to his wrists were like that too. It also seemed like the purple skin and normal skin was being held together by what looked like silver staples.

He wore a large navy blue coat that looked like they had metal cuffs at the elbow where the sleeves ended. The hem went down to behind his knees and was ripped in several places, looking to be connected by several thick threads. He had a white shirt under the jacket and dark pants that matched the color of his jacket. His pants were held up by a gray belt that looked like it had studs or extra holes in it. On his feet, he wore black boots that came up to his shin and tucked his pants into. On his ears he had cartilage piercings and a triple nostril piercing on the right side of his nose.

"We were tasked to test this Nomu; we can't stop now." Mr. Compress argued.

Dabi looked towards the two next to him, "Our orders are to get those kids and take out the teachers. Go!"

Twice and Compress began to run towards them and Aizawa went to run forward as well, leading them off to the side to fight. Yamada went back to the teens with the driver and they were trying to make their way back out of the way to get the kids to safety. The Nomu jumped over towards the kids and just as Kit was about to run after it, Dabi also dashed forward to collide with Kit.

Luckily, Kit flipped backwards to land in a crouch and glared at him, her eyes glowing as her flames took over her body to disappear. Dabi's eyes widened at this and he looked around carefully before lifting both hands on fire. He acted as if he was going to send his attack towards the kids just as Kit reappeared seconds later behind him. She went to swing her claws down behind his head and he ducked just in time, twisting around to throw his flames her way instead.

She did this several times, disappearing and reappearing in different places to attack, but she wasn't getting very far doing this. She went for another attack when she heard Aizawa yell something at the two that were attacking him, distracting her just enough.

Dabi grabbed her upper arm, a smirk on his face, "It's too bad, hero, that you are wasting your talent."

With that, his flames went over her body and before the roaring of the flames consumed her face, she could hear Aizawa yell her way, "Kit!!"

The flames came down again and Dabi looked at her in shock when she showed no signs of damage, "You know, for you using blue flames, they're awfully cold…" She grabbed his wrist, attempting not to grimace at the leathery texture, and let her fire go too, "It was a nice try though."

Dabi stumbled back, his face cringing with a hiss, "Bitch!"

"I'm a fox, not a dog!" She laughed before jumping towards him.

Before she could get close, he called out, "Nomu!"

She narrowed her eyes for a moment before she was suddenly tackled heavily from behind forcing her to the ground hard. The weight on top of her was taking her breath away and she cried out as she both felt and heard cracking within her body, knowing that she must have some bones because of this. She tilted her head to find the Nomu on top of her.

"You brute!" She screamed, "Argh!"

She couldn't help but heave slightly from the weight being on top of her as she heard Dabi curse, "Fuck." He was suddenly kneeling in front of her, "You caused me to lose those kids…" He reached forward to grip her jaw into looking at him, "Anymore tricks?"

Right after he said that, she didn't quite know what was going on because suddenly she felt her body heat up. The glow from her own body practically made it hard to see and so she closed her eyes, trying to ride out the feeling. She wasn't used to heating up very much since her body didn't get hot outside of being sick.

She felt parts of her body shift and the Nomu made a strange noise before she didn't feel his weight on her anymore. When she opened her eyes, she noticed that everything around her looked different in size and she was looking down on Dabi while being more face height to the tall Nomu.

Taking a quick glance down her body, she noticed her hands were paws tipped with black claws. She flicked her tail around and could see the ends of her tails were on fire with her cyan fire. She almost refocused on Dabi when she noticed that with a quick glance that she had another tail, making her tail count nine.

"Shit!" Dabi backed away, "Nomu, get her!"

The Nomu jumped towards her and Kit pounced its way as well. Unfortunately, not being used to this form, she jumped too high and the Nomu caught her by wrapping his arms around her ribs in a crushing hug. She could almost feel as each individual bone he came in contact with broke, cracking noises in her ears, but she knew she had to keep going.

Rearing her head back, she opened her mouth wide to bite the junction where the neck met the shoulder and let her flames go from her mouth. The Nomu squeezed harder, but this only made her press more fire out and she could feel the skin around her mouth begin to melt down. The Nomu dropped to its knees before his arms fell away, but Kit wouldn't let go until his body was ash and goo on the ground.

She was panting by the time she was finished and just as she went to turn towards Dabi again, she barked as she felt something stab into her side. Gasping for breath, she stumbled to the side but forced herself to stand right so she could look where she was stabbed to see Dabi with a large blade in her side.

"You can thank my buddy Spinner for the blade." He smirked at her as he ripped the blade back out causing blood to splatter and spurt out, just to stab another space, "At least they're sharp!"

She threw herself around the best she could and swiped out a paw with her claws extended, catching him on the upper arm. He grunted in pain as her claws caused some of the staples to come off, making some skin hang. He used his other arm to grab the damaged skin and glare her way.

Suddenly both Twice and Compress came running their way and Twice pointed back behind her, "Dabi, it's time to go! Pro Hero back up is making its way towards us very quickly!"

"Damn it." Dabi ground out, pulling the blade out once again, before moving back and a warp gate forming behind them and both Twice and Compress ran through and before Dabi did, he looked back at Kit, "If it wouldn't be so difficult to transport you, you would be joining us, Little Fox Bitch."

He quickly jumped through the gate and the gate disappeared within seconds. Kit stood still for a moment, the silence around her felt odd. She stumbled and felt a shift in her body and with a blink of an eye, she found herself standing on two feet again. Her tails waved behind her wildly as she tried to keep herself up right, her eyes unable to focus, but the gravity around her won as she fell forward.

Her head connected with the concrete with a sickening crack causing her vision to go black for a moment. She blinked a few times trying to be able to see again while coughing, causing blood to spew from her mouth heavily. She could feel the warm sticky blood form a puddle around her and she briefly wondered if she was going to die. Another flaw of her own flames was that it had absolutely no effect on her body, so she couldn't cauterize the wound that Dabi had caused with her.

"Kit… Kit!" She felt her body being moved and she was then cradled by strong arms, "Stay awake! I need a medic!"

She blinked and she could take in the blurry form of Aizawa holding her, his one arm using his scarf to try and wrap around her wound to stop the bleeding, "That's going to be one hell of a stain to clean out, you know."

He shook his head, his hand shaking as he tried to finish, "How can you joke right now?"

"Eh…" She attempted to shrug, but this only caused her to wince.

"Don't move." He ordered and then placed a hand on her cheek, "Focus on me, Kit, you have to stay awake. The medic is coming over."

She opened her mouth and coughed, more blood coming from her throat, "Let them know… I have the blood of Dabi on my claws… It needs to be analyzed to find his true identity."

He didn't say anything for a moment, but nodded, "I will." He patted her cheek a couple of times, "Kit! Please stay with me!"

She tried her hardest to stay awake just because he told her to, but it just became too much and she lost consciousness. Her last thought was if he would be disappointed in her.
