The Teaching Assistant

Chapter 3

______________________________________

A couple days pass by after that, not able to hero as much due to the threat of her license being taken away. It was unfair and an abuse of power, but life isn't fair. It never is.

She can feel her older brother's grunts watching her every move and it makes her want to pull her hair out! Like come on!!? I'm 26 years old, I got no real friends, I've never dated before, all because of you!! She curses her brother to high heaven as she sits in at the cafe looking at job applications outside of New York, as well as any laws and regulations regarding reinstating a hero license if one is to be terminated.

Damn, no dice, once terminated by the government office there's no getting that license back unless I go to court.. its different if I retire, I can get it reinstated but if he really has friends in those high places he can royally screw my life up.

She sighs as she sips her frozen coffee, "he's really backed me into a corner.."

She closes her little laptop and packs it up and leaves the cafe, only to be stopped by a couple.

"Hey your Mercy right? That healing pro hero?" The woman ask standing beside her.. boyfriend? Husband?

Amelia red eyes widen a bit.. she got recognized by someone out of costume. "Um yes ma'am." She replies softly with a cute smile

"Unsure if you can remember my husband here, but he was someone you healed about last week sometime, during that bad bank robbery." The woman squeezes her husband's arm where he briefly smile down at Amelia.

"Yeah, I never did get to thank you, I've never heard of you before and was so surprised you aren't high ranking. You did an excellent job! I work as the manager of that bank that was robbed and you saved my life. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have made it home, nor any of the other Injured staff and maybe even civilians." The older man says to her

Amelia gets all blushy and a really big grin comes across her face, "there's no need to thank me, I was doing my job as a hero!" She replies to the couple

"No, what nonsense, those officers weren't even trying to help us expect the one lady officer who was making sure my Mike here didn't die before help arrived; and I'm sure there were other heros nearby that didn't even bother to come." The woman states wacking her lightly across her arm

Amelia blinks a few times and let's out a awkward chuckle, "I don't know what to say, but thank you." She says before adding

"No thank you.. if I can be so rude to say, you might surpass your brother if you keep that up." The older woman says

Amelia's body tenses, but before amelia can reply, the woman's husband is shushing his wife and bows his head slightly in thanks, "it was nice seeing you again." Before he leaves with his wife in tow

That was… Weird??

She heads out feeling warm fuzzys someone was thankful, and didn't automatically bring up her brother, though in the end to hear that woman say those words, makes her vibrate.

Is it even possible to surpass him? I mean he's stronger, bigger, his quirk gives him an obvious advantage.. Those words though. She pressed a hand to her chest, gives me hope that maybe what I've been doing the past six years isn't for naught. I'll roll with the punches, if my brother manages to convince the Hero Activities Office to take my license away I'll.. I'll sue!!

Amelia goes grocery shopping before heading home carrying to bags of groceries all the way back to the agency, keeping her head down and staying quiet. She finally makes it to the elevator swiping her card, pushing floor 18. The doors shut and reopen after a minute.

She walks with calm elegance down the long hallway as she swipes her card at her door entering her apartment kicking her shoes off and putting groceries on the kitchen counter. "I'm home Stubby!"

She puts groceries away and let's her friend play with the bags, listening to the crinkle and the purr he gives off.

"So, I was approached by a couple and come to find out~ the man was someone I saved and they were thanking me! They recognized me outside of costume too!" She states with a toothy grin as she wipes her hands together finished with groceries.

The cat meows in reply sitting on a plastic bag, obviously interested in what she said.

"Yeah pretty cool right! Makes me wanna keep going against Miguel's wishes." She says making a fist in front of her

"So even if it means making him angry I'll still do what it takes to be a hero, after all I'm not in it for the fame, but to save lives. I didn't take the name Mercy: The Medic Hero for nothing." She rambles as she leans against the counter petting Stubby behind his ears

"Speaking of which, I should probably slip my shoes on and check the postal box, maybe your old friend wrote you a reply?"

The cat rolled his single eye doubting it.

She chuckles a little as she pushes off the counter and heads to the living room plopping down, Stubby following suit, "I think it's high time I get out from this agency.. Ive been trying so long, to be like my brother, when there isn't a need to. If I get away, I could make a name for myself, not be the sister of the number three hero. I wouldn't have to be scared to open my mouth or fear others around me just want to use me to get close to him. I can be.. me." She say in a soft tone

"There's gotta be somewhere that could benefit from me ya know?"

Stubby bites the note pad sitting on the side table, which she grabs for him and pulls out the pen clicking it on and letting his white, stretchy, flexible, tail grab it and write across the pages.

'why not leave the country?' it reads

She blinks an says, "l-leave the country? I don't know. I feel like I can do plenty here in the states."

The cat writes again but a single word, 'teaching.'

"Teaching.." she trails off thinking about it, "are you suggesting I getna teaching license.. I mean I do love kids but that would mean putting heroing on hold."

Stubby gives off a huff mixed with a growl as he writes, 'hero teacher. You can be a hero teacher.'

She reads it and thinks back to the hero teachers at the Heroics Academy of New York. She knew some of those teachers still were heros just worked on and off unless they were called out for missions.

"I.. I could totally do that." She says getting a idea, "I could trick my brother into thinking I've given up being a hero and instead focus on getting my teaching license!! He would get off my back, that would also let the agency drop me cause I'm not 'heroing' anymore. Which frees me from the contract I have here. I could then really get away, start some place new.."

She paused for a moment looking at Stubby, "but that doesn't explain why the first question you asked 'leave the country'. you can't expect me to teach in a foreign country, I mean why would they hire a foreign teacher, and depending on the location one that doesn't speak the language. I'd be.. not a good fit."

Stubby gives off a eye roll and writes again, 'japanese, you've learned it.'

She blushes, "I m-mean, only because I'm weird…"

(She literally learned Japanese because she liked anime and listening to the Subbed version. She got into the culture of Japan and actually researched it a lot. She got into it as a 13 year old and just kept up with it. Though she probably doesn't know correct language etiquette but she could easily get her point across. Her dream was to visit Japan one day, especially see the cherry blossoms bloom.)

'that is true, you are weird. But your a good weird. Being a bit different isn't bad. I wouldn't have stayed with you all these years if you were to weird for my taste. Your quirky.' Stubby writes with a small chuff to her.

Stubby likes his human, she can be a bit weird at times but he wouldn't change her for the world.

Amelia red eyes soften as she gives him a pet, "thanks buddy.. I'll think on it. There's a few hero schools in Japan, but I doubt they'd hire some weird American."

'dont doubt, it could happen.' he writes back

She keeps petting him and gives with a pretty smile, "okay, okay. Enough talking, let's what Mandolarian yeah? We still got the second season hehe."

Stubby purrs and drops the pen down on the note pad as Amelia grabs the remote and turns the TV on to watch a show with her best friend.

~MYSTERY LETTER~

'Dear old friend,

It's been so long since we last seen each other, it was at that experimentation camp was it not? I don't mean to bring up bad memories but it is what it is.

I don't go EX-0271 anymore, just like you don't go by yours, right Nezu? I go by the name Stubby, it was actually given to me by a human whose been housing me for quite a few years now.

A lovely 26 year old woman named Amelia Tano, or should I arrange the name by last name then first name since your in Japan now? Anyways, I've been keeping a eye on you old friend, noticing you've been trying to find someone for that school your running, a teaching assistant? My human would fit perfectly.

Amelia Tano is a hero, she has a heart of gold and cares greatly about others. She's ranked in the top 200 here in America and I know with her quirk she could go much further if in the right environment that allows her too. At the moment, shes being kept chained down by a man with a sister complex. Her older brother who rose through the ranks over 5 years and became number 3, and he's quickly on his way to be number one.

She's constantly being overshadowed and compared here in America, and her brother isn't the best man either. Feel free to run background checks and such as needed but call this number 1+ (***) ***-**** when you've reached a decision.

Sincerely, a old friend

P.S Hope this finds you well'

Okay so this is short and it does come from my Wattpad account, it's going to be a series. This is a just a prelude to the story.

The Teaching Assistant

Chapter 6

The wait for monday is painfully long!! She does get called out for a mission and gets scolded when something goes wrong, when it wasn't her fault! How is bad intel her fault, her only objective was to get in and out with the injured while the other heros on her team fought. It was like they knew someone was coming and hid a villain among the hostages. She fought tooth and nail and almost kill the guy, lucky she didn't.

She did get bruised up, and a fractured arm but nothing her quirk couldn't handle, even if it made her extremely tired in the end. She did heal up the hostages, even the knocked out villain who almost died of blood loss. But once again seems everyone in her brothers agency finds fault with her for no reason. It's stupid majorly so.

Back to Monday night she's showing off a few different button up shirts to Stubby, "so be real with me, which one should I wear to the interview, the red one or the black one?" She ask

The cat huffs and gives a head tilt which Amelia replies, "I know it's a virtual interview but I still need to look, ya know, professional."

She looks at the mirror in her room and holds up each air of clothing, "I think black works better, I already have red hair and red eyes, it would be to much to wear red." She comments to herself

She looks at the time, Japan is about 12 hours behind America. So  she needs to wait until 3 am, since that's when the video call is scheduled for.

(Okay so correct me if I'm wrong about the time, but I believe that's right)

She sits the shirt flat on her desk and debates on wearing dress parts or PJ bottoms to the virtual interview, cause what's the chance they make her stand up and show her outfit off? She decides to stay on the safe side and wear dress pants, plus it shows she went the extra mile.

She checks the time it's 9:13 PM. She's got time to shower, maybe nap before getting up closer to 3 in the morning. She nods as she does just that. She wakes up to her blaring alarm as, she lazyly swipes her phone screen to shut the alarm off as she sits up.

Her red hair needs another brush through as she swings to feet to the edge of her queen bed before getting to her feet. She does a big stretch and rushes to get dressed in the bathroom still having 30 minutes to make herself presentable.

Stubby is already sitting on the counter by her laptop, as she comes out of her room looking good in her blue button up and black dress pants, she doesn't bother with shoes as she sits down on the barstool getting her laptop ready as 3 am in 5 minutes away.

She runs her hands through her red locks and looks at Stubby, "okay, I look good right? Oh jeez so I speak Japanese or do I speak English, what if I mess up!? I never had the chance to really practice my Japanese before." Amelia says begining to panic

The cat gives off a purr trying to be reassuring, he believes in her after all. His white tail stretches and wraps a pound her hand in reassurance. Which Amelia looks grateful for as she looks at the time and decides to join the Oogle meeting.

She stares at her own video feed before it a conference room pops up, she sees a mouse looking thing and a really really tired guy and a-wow how does someone get their hair to stand like that?

She feels her heart beat pick up, as she feels like a deer caught in headlights as the sound soon feeds through.

"Miss Tano correct? Can ya hear us just fine?" The mouse thing (is he a stout?) ask in Japanese

She gulps before nodding, "y-yes sir I can hear you loud and clear. Can you umm.. hear me?" She replies cautiously in Japanese as well

(Just a word of warning she'll be speak in Japanese for the meeting and so will Nezu, Aizawa, and Present Mic)

The mouse thing nods back as the blond Cockatoo gives a thumbs up.

"I was worried their would be tad but if a language barrier but I'm glad there isn't. Let me introduce ourselves. Am I a mouse, a bear, whatever I am, all you need to know is I'm the principal of UA, I go by Nezu." The mouse thing states

The blond goes giving a big grin, "I'm Present Mic, but my real name is Yamada Hizashi! I teach English here at UA, I'm mostly here to help translate if there's issues with communication. Glad a cutie like you doesn't have a problem-ow. Sho that was my shin."

The tired man seems to have kicked Yamada under the table, while Nezu just sips tea and enjoys the chaos a bit.

"I'm Aizawa Shouta, class 1a homeroom teacher, I'm the person who you'll be working with if this goes well." He states a bit tired with a neutral expression, looks like he doesn't wanna be here

"Way to bring down the mood dude." Whispers Yamada and the microphone barely picks it up

Nezu clears his throat taking back control of the meeting, "now that we have introduced ourselves, I think it's time you introduced yourself, don't you think?" Nezu says in his usual cheerful tone

Amelia feels tense but she nods none the less, she remembers everyone's been introducing themselves by last name first, then first name. "I'm Tano Amelia, I've been a pro hero for 6 years and ranked in top 150. I'm a rescue hero, so while I can fight I prefer more slip in and out unoticed with civilians safe. My hero name is Mercy, and I'm known as the Medic Hero." She states softly and confidently (so proud 🥲 of my shy baby)

The three on the other side of the world take notes, as she talks. She does pause a small amount to give them time to ask but when they don't she goes on talking, "my quirk is a bit weird, I can't turn it off."

Before she can speak again someone is speaking up, "a passive quirk huh? That could be dangerous." Says a tired Aizawa  looking right at the camera, Amelia feels a bit intimidated.

"Well, umm not exactly, I'm pretty careful especially if I'm in a fight, cause that's when I need to be mindful of it. It's not touch based or anything, umm it's.. my bodily fluids, like blood, snot, spit, anything labeled under bodily fluids has a bit of my quirk, some like blood have a more potent version of it."

The blond Cockatoo looks squeamish while the dark haired homeless man looks about the same, maybe his eyes got a bit wider or something? Nezu looks the same but he gets a interested look on his face.

"Now, that's interesting, what is your quirk exactly?" Nezu ask setting his tea cup down

"Oh umm it's called Healing Fluids, it doesn't really um give me any draw backs, well actually, the only problem I get is anemia if I use to much blood, and dry mouth if I use my saliva too much. I do get negative feelings, like disgust, feeling itchy if I use it to much in one setting. Other than that, theirs nothing else. The people I do heal complain about different things, If I heal with blood; they complain about a burning sensation like their being burned but it's only for a moment and then it's gone. My saliva its kind of like a numbing agent, it doesn't burn but it isn't as potent in healing. I can use that for bruises and scratches but the big stuff, I gotta use blood all the way." She says a bit embarrassed to be talking about her quirk she sometimes despises

Nezu looks very intrigued, "with a quirk like that I can see why you took up the name Mercy the Medic Hero."

"The question is.. do you relie on your quirk to much? You could concuss yourself on the field and cause issues if your quirk wasn't there, or working right. You did say if you over use it you feel disgusted or itchy, what happens when you push through it?" Aizawa ask his eyes narrowing

"Oh umm, I don't like using my quirk unless absolutely necessary. The whole reason I got the title Medic Hero in the end was because I went to college shortly after graduating from my hero school, I am a certified CNA. I didn't debute until age of 20. There's something I gotta be able to do, to heal without my quirk. If I use my quirk to much I quite literally shut down, feel quite sickly. While I can still fight, I'm more paranoid. It's.. a weird draw back." She says nervously, "so yes I know my weakness and I back them up by not using my quirk unless necessary."

Aizawa looks a tad bit impressed, but it's hard to tell when he has a resting bitch face.

Nezu hums as he replies, "impressive none the less. Now then how about you us about yourself, maybe why you think you'd be a good fit for this job. Ya know just the standard questions at a interview."

She blinks in surprise, she tries to think of something that she can say, "oookkaayy.. so I like to read and learn new things. As weird as that sounds, I also like to bake when I have a down moment. As for why I think I'm a good fit.." she trails off thinking, to be honest she has no teaching experience, she doesn't have a teaching certification either.

"It's because I care, incredibly so. If I can help educate the future heros of today, arming them with knowledge and skills that can help them after graduation or even on internships, that's all that matters. Statically speaking less than 40 percent of heros survive two years after graduating, if I can make sure that the students I help teach aren't in the 60 percent that don't survive, that's all that matters." She says, "while I don't have a teaching certificate id be more than willing to go and get one, I umm was planning on trying for one but actually didn't know where to start when you called last week Nezu."

Aizawa looks impressed by her words at first until he heard about her not having a teaching certification. Yamada was moved and didn't seem to bothered by the lack of credentials.

Nezu hums, "yes I know that, that's something can be fixed. Well do you have any questions for us before we end this meeting?"

Amelia thinks on it, "if I get this job, will you help find a place to house me? I have money I just would rather not fly half way across the world an not have a place to move into."

Nezu chuckles as he picks his tea up and takes a sip, "of course! Let me handle everything. Consider it a investment if this works out. I'll call sometimes this week letting you know. Now I'm sure you wish to get some sleep, as its.. 3:41 am your times correct?"

She blushes and nods, "t-thanking for having me. Have a umm good afternoon."

She bows her head and then ends the call. She slouches in her seat as Stubby makes his presence known now by a cute meow.

She turns to look at him and sighs, "I feel like I was to awkward.. what if I don't get the job because of my weirdness."

The cat gives her a look before trying to close the laptop screen so she can go to bed.

"Okay, okay, I'm heading to bed. Let's go." She says getting up leaving her laptop on the center island, walking to the side turning the lights off and heading back to her room to sleep.
