Anri's Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day

[perfectlynormalcthulhu]

The feed switches on to reveal Anri, looking disarrayed and slightly rumpled with a dismayed expression on her face.

"Izuku? I won't be able to make it to our date."

A slight pause as she reaches up to brush back her hair, showing that her hand is lightly burned.

"Also there's some kind of fire villain near your school, so please stay safe. He's a big brutish thug that was roasting everything and it looked like he had a lot of minions, too."

In completely unrelated news, anyone checking the #herosighting hashtag in Izuku's world will find that the current #1 Hero, Endeavor, was fought to a standstill today by a new villain nobody recognizes, a young woman that could control shadows and instilled fear by her very presence.

Absolutely, completely unrelated to the minor burns Anri's suffered or the light coating of ash on her dress.

"Oh...thank you."

Anri won't really think about the first half of that, because that kind of thing isn't her strong point like Izuku's. As far as she's concerned: Ochako can make gravity, and now she can make gravity, so obviously this is because she is friends with Ochako.

After what happened to him, Quirks intermixing with Gems isn't even a surprise at this point.

And he arrives soon, carrying the pack and a few snacks. "Anri?"

[perfectlynormalcthulhu]

"Over here."

Anri's sitting in a chair - well, Skull Throne - wincing just a bit as she waves hello to Izuku.

"Oh my gosh you're hurt badly," he exclaimed, running over and opening it. "Are you okay? You look battered."

He took her hand in his and started to examine it gently. "Did you get burned?"

[perfectlynormalcthulhu]

"Just a little. I threw up a bunch of shadows as shields, but his fire was very hot."

[ironwoodtrees]

"Here, I think there's some burn medication in the kit..."

Tending to her hands, he started working on her fingers, making sure they were clean before swabbing them out. "Okay, nothing's in there, no dirt. I'm going to bandage them up."

Anri focuses very closely on Izuku's scarred hands cradling hers.

She's not saying much, but she is as red as a tomato.

Izuku's blushing a little red too, this is the first time he's paid close attention to Anri's hands and he's making sure she won't scar. Soon, he tightens the bandage and says, "There, perfect. It'll heal up. If we need to, we'll go talk to the nurse."

Anri considers something.

"...I know you wanted to see that movie, but maybe...we could go to Amelie's world instead?"

She looks at the bandage.

"In a few days, when I'm better?"

[ironwoodtrees]

"O-oh, of course!" Exclaimed Izuku, snapped out of the trance for a moment of holding her hand. "Please, we could find something to do in Amelie's world. Maybe we could go to her hometown and just visit the area. Or maybe go shopping in one of the smaller cities."
