The Dragon Of MHA

*Midoriya POV*

"Hey, Gran Torino?"

The old man looked up from the takiyaki that he was eating.

"What?"

"Do you know The Winged Hero: Hawks phone number?"

"No, but it wouldn't be that hard to get."

"Cause my classmate Natsu interned with him and I was wondering if you could set up a quick match between us."

Gran Torino pauses for a second, "I'm not sure you're ready yet. You should still work on the small details of your full cowling and-"

But the look of absolute stubbornness and determination in my eyes made him stop.

"If you insist. Let me make some calls real quick."

*Natsu POV*

Damn this is boring. It was the fourth day and something is bound to happen soon, it's just that patrolling and asking questions is not really exciting.

I knew that something was going to happen and Hawks was able to find out as well. But neither of us knew when, I don't even remember if there was a specific date and it's not like the villains are just gonna tell us their schedule. My guess is either tonight or tomorrow night.

We are eating lunch again at the cafe and Hawks gets a phone call. He takes another bite from his chicken katsu and answers.

"Hello, Hawks here, what do you need."

"Hello Hawks, this is Gran Torino."

Although Hawks didn't know Torino directly, he was familiar with the name as Gran Torino was once a very popular hero when he was in his prime.

"Ah Gran Torino, it's an honor to meet you, but may I ask why you are calling me? If you need a ride, I'm sure you can catch a train or something."

Ignore the quip, Gran Torino goes on, "Well my intern has informed me that Natsu Dragneel is interning with you."

Hawks glances at me, "Yes, you have been well informed. So what would you like with my intern? I'm afraid you can't have him cause he's extremely helpful."

"Well, would it be possible to set up a time to meet tomorrow so that Midoriya and Natsu can spar?"

"Ah, the self destruct boy. Are you sure? His powers are quite strong and he can't control it yet, unless…"

"It's a work in progress."

"Lemme put you on hold real quick."

He looks at me.

"So?"

I look back and feign ignorance, "So what? What happened?"

"So are you interested in being a bikini model for the newspaper? I know you were listening."

I think about it for a moment. It would be interesting to see if he's developed further than in the anime as of now, and it would relieve some boredom. I see this as an absolute win.

"Alright then. Tell him that I'll fight with him."

Hawks gets back on his phone, "He says yes."

"Ok great, so we will see you at your agency around 2 pm?"

"Actually Natsu and I are in Hosu City. Doing some tourism, trying the food, and whatnot."

"Uh ok then. How about the Hosu City park? Around 10 maybe?"

"Alright, that sounds good to us. See ya then."

Hawks hangs up and looks at me again.

"Don't kill him, cause I'm going to have to take responsibility."

The day goes by and the sun rises once again. Hawks and I headed down to the park and waited in a meadow. After a few minutes, Gran Torino and Midoriya walked over and greeted us.

Hawks started off the conversation, "Well since we're all here, let's get started. Natsu after this, we'll go on patrol again."

I walk out onto the field and so does Midoriya. It would be a shame to burn down this area so I guess I'll have to use smaller abilities. Either way, this will be over quickly.

Hawks yells start and turns to Torino to talk.

Midoriya activates Full Cowling and starts to bounce around the few trees that were nearby. I guess that fighting in a wide area isn't a good choice for him now. His movements are limited and easily predictable. Plus with my senses, I can see him crystal clear.

He bounces off a tree and flies towards me, I sway to the side and he passes me. I turn around and he tries to attack again.

While Midoriya is attacking me, Hawks and Gran Torino are having a discussion on the side.

*Hawks POV*

Gran Torino turns to me as both our interns are fighting.

"So what's the real reason you're in Hosu?"

I glance around and turn towards the small man.

"Well you see, our agency got a tip-off that Stain would be in this area and maybe in touch with the league of villains. I took Natsu with me because his combat prowess is good and the hero experience helps."

As my words sink into Torino, he asks, "And is anything suspicious about the boy?"

I recall the events of the past week and respond, "He seems bored, it may be because he's a student, but it's more like the anticipation bored. Almost as if he's waiting for something to happen."

"Hmmm. In that case, I may stay a night or so."

*Natsu POV*

As I follow Midoriya's movements, I realized that this strategy is not bad. Just my base level and I could be fast enough not to be predictable, but if I add in some flares, distractions, and maybe puppets, it could help fight against Stain and future enemies.

Midoriya is flying towards me again but this time I tense up and rush forwards towards him. He panics and drops towards the floor to dodge. I make it to the tree and start to push myself around. At the speeds I'm going at, Izuku can still make me out but he's shocked that I managed to copy his fighting style.

Hawks and Torino are also shocked. Hawks is because he's never seen me do that before, and Torino because he knows how difficult it is to do.

For a while, Midoriya and I are jumping around and crossing paths to hit each other. Midoriya's slowly panicking because he's fighting a copy of him that's slowly getting better and better.

I grab him and throw him against a tree and he slumps to the bottom. I go over and help him up and he looks at me.

"Natsu, I have a question. How did you get so powerful?"

"Lots of training, and practice. Being adaptable to the situation also helps."

I walk back towards Hawks as Midoriya thinks about what I said. Gran Torino thanks us and walks over to talk with Midoriya.

Hawks starts to walk away and I follow him.

"There are two more days in your intern so we'll be leaving tomorrow and head back to the agency to talk about some stuff and do some hero work around my area."

"Ok, that's fine."

The attack on Hosu will come tonight

Gran Torino's fighting style may come in handy later, so I gotta think about some improvements. The rest of the day passes and night falls. I sit down, meditate, and focus myself before the night's events. First thing first, I have to get away from Hawks, then I gotta find Stain. After that's I can fight with him and leave him to the heroes.

*Stain POV*

"So who's your buddy? He wasn't with you last time."

Next to Shigaraki and Kurogiri was a shirtless dude wearing a long dark blue coat with a silver lining. He had black messy hair. Half of his upper body and face were covered in dark marks almost like tattoos. When they arrived, the air around him suddenly dropped and even I felt chills.

"He's here for support. But he won't be needed." Shigaraki said with obvious disdain in his voice.

"I'll just watch and make sure no one dies."

Kurogiri turns to me, "So what will you be doing."

I look out into the currently peaceful city.

"Cleansing the trash from this city. What about you two?"

Scratching his neck, Shigaraki replies in an annoyed tone, "You'll see."

I jump down into the city and start my hunt for prey.

AN: I am pretty excited to write these next few chapters out cause I have some fun things planned.
