Chapter 2 Is Uppppppppp

Hearing Uraraka admit that she used to care about popularity and all that gave Rody a moment of whiplash. That's exactly how Rody grew up seeing all heroes; that they only cared about the fame and money. That was the reason why there were basically no heroes around in Otheon; they had nothing to gain from helping out that criminal-infested city.

He was happy to hear her change in attitude regarding that. "See? True hero material. You have a good heart."

Rody froze, money in hand, also noticing the kid outside. Pino quickly retreated into his ponytail. While Uraraka's hero instincts were kicking in, Rody's "big brother" ones were activated. As soon as she left the table, Rody cursed under his breath as he frantically shoved his book into the backpack he brought with him. This book was too damn expensive to just leave behind.

He rushed outside, just in time to see the hero get shoved. "Uraraka!" She seemed okay, considering that she was getting up so easily. His eyes followed to find the culprit, and once he saw the black coat, he was locked on target.

Rody sprinted past Uraraka, covering ground quickly. It did cross his mind that the man might be the kid’s parent, but why would the kid be screaming for help if that was the case? Rody had experienced way too many kidnapping situations in Otheon, it was better to be safe than sorry.

“Hey!” Rody called out as the guy finally got his grubby hands on the kid. He didn’t like how hard he was grabbing the kid, and how scared they seemed to be. Something definitely wasn’t right.

Time flew by like the wind. Between classwork and trying to help Rody feel accommodated at UA, Ochako had barely enough time for herself!

But she decided to ask Hatsume for a new upgrade to her uniform and was passing the hallway when she noticed Rody's door to his guest room stood open. Sneaking a peak, she poked her head in but to her surprise he didn't seem to be there. Had he simply forgotten to close the door?

Scratching her head, she continued on her way to Hatsume when her stomach growled. Although she had a small lunch a few hours prior and wasn't very hungry, she still wanted to eat something.

I guess I'll meet Hatsume later.

With that thought, Ochako made her way to the kitchen to see if she could find a snack.

When the handshake was over, his hand went up to give Pino a comforting scratch. She didn't actually need the comfort, considering that the sound was due to Rody's shock, but Kirishima didn't know that. He had picked up on how Ei noticed Pino's reaction, and from his perspective he must've thought she was startled by something else.

Rody wouldn't look like a good 'pet owner' if he just ignored the bird's 'panic.' Thus, she got some nice scratches.

"Really? Geez, small world! I didn't think I would run into one of Deku's friends like this." In retrospect, Pino really did have no reason to be scared of this kind-hearted hero. "Likewise. It's even more of a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

“Well, can you blame me for spacing out? Not exactly the most exciting place to be.” He grabbed a glass, wiping it clean. He was basically doing little tasks that needed to be done around the place.

A surprised laugh escaped from Rody. “And you’re a bit too old for me-” Wait, this was a CUSTOMER Rody! 

“AH- sorry, ignore that, please.” His usual snarkiness had slipped out for a moment there. A situation like this could get him in trouble with Stan. “I do apologize, really. Do you want something on the house?” It would come out of his paycheck, but it was better than getting an earful from his boss.

@rody-soul​ cont from X

“More like you’re staring off into space in my general direction.” She thought maybe he recognized her, but perhaps she was mistaken and in that case she’d rather let it be. “I’m flattered that you’re staring, but I think you’re a bit young for me.”

Pino chirped loudly, flapping her wings all about. She was staying glued to this man and giving him an earful while doing so.

The man growled in frustration since Pino was blocking his vision and being annoying. He flailed his hands to swat the bird away, managing to do so after many failed attempts. But just as he got rid of one problem, another one grabbed hold of him. Before he could retaliate, his face met the hard ground, grimacing against the pavement in pain and defeat.

Rody was off the phone by now, slowly stepping out of the alley with the kid in his arms. Poor thing was scared and rightfully so. "Uravity!" He called out to the hero, staying back just in case. "Help is on the way! Are you okay?!" Pino was alright, by the way. She was a little out of it but was slowly gathering herself on the sidewalk.

Time flew by like the wind. Between classwork and trying to help Rody feel accommodated at UA, Ochako had barely enough time for herself!

But she decided to ask Hatsume for a new upgrade to her uniform and was passing the hallway when she noticed Rody's door to his guest room stood open. Sneaking a peak, she poked her head in but to her surprise he didn't seem to be there. Had he simply forgotten to close the door?

Scratching her head, she continued on her way to Hatsume when her stomach growled. Although she had a small lunch a few hours prior and wasn't very hungry, she still wanted to eat something.

I guess I'll meet Hatsume later.

With that thought, Ochako made her way to the kitchen to see if she could find a snack.
