"Well, it's kind of a long story," Connor began. "But my dad was out on a job. Routine robbery, you know? But then when he was in the middle of grabbing some guy and his quirk was on cooldown, my mom showed up. She used to be a former villain, and had lived with us for years. But apparently when she went to 'work' she was actually going on small robberies and stuff without us knowing. And when she saw my dad, she just…mangled his legs."
"Oh wow… SOrry I dont know what to say."
"No, no, it's fine. My mom was a bitch and I was kinda hoping she would do something that would make my dad kick her out or whatever," Connor said with a shrug. "But hey, it could have been worse. I could be an orphan or something."
Jordan puts a hand on Connor's shoulder
Connor smiles a little at that. "It's kinda why I wanna be a hero, actually. To prove my family isn't a bunch of screwups and busted heroes. But I've done…basically everything wrong so far," they said with a small laugh
"Alright. Dude. You did nothing wrong. You got in the top ten. I was nearly ranked 20th." Jordan sighs
Inima landed on a rooftop rolling to lose her momentum easily. She looked around, man the city was quiet tonight. She had checked all the usual places to find them all quite peaceful. She sat on the roof with her feet swinging off the side.
"Yeah, but you don't know what I did before UA," Connor mumbled. "I got called the next top villain. Everyone made fun of me, told me I should just join the League of Villains now."
"What?!" Jordan starts and scoots to the side a little ways
"And that's what everyone does when I mention it," Connor muttered before wrapping their arms around their knees. "Don't worry, it's not like I did it on purpose. It was my damn quirk's fault."
Jordan didnt know what to do. He felt like some how comforting his new friend but also didnt know if he wanted his space. In the end her stood up and looked around. He found a blanket and throws it over Connor's shoulders and head
Connor laughed a little as the blanket fell onto their face, and they tugged it off so they could see. "Well. That's a new one," they chuckled
"No." Jordan takes it back and throws it over Connor again like a hood
"What are you doing?" Connor laughs, a wide grin on their face as they adjust the blanket so they can see without taking it off
"Shh… It's ok." Jordan jokes patting the top of Connors head with a laugh
"Oh my god," Connor laughs, tugging the blanket off their head but leaving it around their shoulders. "But, um. Thanks?"
Yuuka watched that sun disappear from the sky, but city started to glow producing it's own light. She started her decent down the building. One level after another until she was at a decent level to jump to the next building's fire escape. Originally jumping across these heights scared her, but now it was nothing other than the natural progression of her movement.
Jordan laughs and plops down next to Connor again
Connor glanced out one of the windows. It was dark now, which made them frown. "Dang. It's already night time. You should probably be getting home," they said
"Hmm? Oh yeah." Jordan stands and walks toward the ladder
Once Tasper finished patching his mom up, he stood and headed for the door. He couldn't stand it. He needed to go on a run or a walk or something. He couldn't sit around here under his mom's narrow-eyed gaze.
"Where are you going?" his mom asked, gazing at him with softening eyes.
He shrugged. "No where. See you later."
"Be safe," she replied.
He ignored her and hurried out of the door, grabbing his earbuds on the way out. He jogged down the sidewalk, deciding to just explore the city.
Connor followed Jordan down the ladder, actually using it this time instead of extending their limbs or something
Jordan starts jogging toward the fence and road, "See ya, Connor!" He waves over his shoulder
"See ya!" Connor calls with a wave from the fence. They wait for Jordan to leave before walking back inside and sitting down in their room
Jordan doesnt stop jogging til he reaches the outskirts of the city.
