What's next?
Im fine
"I should have know Mineta would!... Ah... Well fine... Yes my mom is miss midnight" I say the last part in a monotone voice, seriously I have to have this conversation again.... Here come all the cheesy sex jokes, questions about her personal life, and lamest of all requests for autographs.
Jiro actually speaks up first "Oh wait that's true?... I thought Mineta was just being stupid again... Well jeez... I'm really sorry Seto that must be hard on you" She looks at me like she is contemplating something that concerns her. Im shocked, in all my years I've never gotten that response. I kind of don't know what to make of it, apparently neither does Mina.
"What do you mean Jiro!? Miss midnight is so kind and strong and rich!... (She taps her chin for a moment) Hmmm I mean I guess it would suck to have literally every villain and hero alike want to bend your mom over a barrel huh?... I mean even most ladies want a piece!" she stares at the ceiling tapping her chin like it's the first time she put much thought into it. Her statement doesn't really shock or upset me, though I can say I don't really care for the image it puts in my mind.
For the first time ever I see Jiro look legitimately angry, she punches Mina on the shoulder and gives her a squinty look that Mina seems to understand. She rubs her shoulder tenderly "damn ok I'm sorry sheesh"
"It's really not a big deal... It doesn't bother me." I say trying to seem casual about the whole thing, I just want to diffuse the tension. Jiro looks at me with such pity and concern written on her face, I hate that look more than anything in the world.
"Well if you ever want to talk about it..."
I interrupt her with a fake smile and quick words "Come on don't be silly it's really fine!... She inspires so many people, I'm lucky to be her son... There is nothing to talk about ok? It's really not a big deal"
Mina looks at me with a raised eyebrow, but ultimately shrugs it off and continues nursing her shoulder. Jiro continues looking at me with the same look I hate, it's like she was unfazed by my words. She looks as though she may say something again, I frown at her and even scowl a little bit, I look away unable to bear her gaze... I hope she just drops it already.
Mina seems to feel the weirdness in the air because she quickly changes the subject. "Soooooo.... Now that we know your quirk and everything, how about we give you a run down of ours?"
I stare at Mina while she talks about her quirk, the effects of her acid, how far she can shoot it, ect... All the while I can feel Jiro's eyes on me. What is her deal? I really wish she would quit I'm seriously fine... I don't know what she is on about.
Mina finishes up her little presentation by melting a pack of gum in her hands, I'm actually kind of shocked how quickly her acid acts, seeing it in person is much scarier than hearing about it. I wonder what kind of utilities her quirk has, or how mine could assist her?
Finally Jiro changes her expression as she begins her mini presentation. I sigh with relief happy to focus on something new... She talks about her scouting abilities, offensive heartbeat wave, and overall style of combat. I find her quirk so interesting, the combination of super hearing and mid range sound attacks seems like it would be quite effective. I wish I knew more about speakers though, maybe I could make her something useful.
She finishes by plugging her ear into her phone, her heartbeat can be heard through the speakers and you could feel the sound almost pushing against you. I smile, I got lucky to have such good partners for my first special lesson.
"Wow girls your quirks are so amazing!... I'm seriously jealous.. I hope I can keep up and help somehow" I close my eyes while scratching my head nervously.
Mina laughs as she slaps me hard on the back "Are you kidding me!?! With me and Jiro's prearranged combo attacks and your versatility we will be unstoppable!"
I want to believe her optimism, but I'm still so new to my quirk, I can't help but feel unsure. Who knows maybe it could go ok? I just have to depend on these two and try to stay focused and aware. At that moment I hear a phone alarm go off.
"Oh I set that so we knew when to suit up! Let's do this team pinky!" Me and Jiro both roll our eyes comically at Mina's oh so humble team name. I take my stuff to the bathroom and shut the door.
I lean my head back against the door and breath deeply. This hasn't exactly gone great, but considering my past with women it definitely could be going worse. I still can't believe I made them custom cheer outfits though, that will be logged deep in the embarrassment vault of my mind to be sure. Atleast they still seemed to like them, Jiro even thanked me...
Ok focus up Seto, get this stupid costume on and get revved up! I throw my headphones in and turn to my hype music playlist. My costume is pretty basic, it consists of combat boots, thick baggy green cargo shorts (armor built in), a utility belt (with medicine and such), a large green duster jacket (also armored) and no shirt underneath. The shorts are designed to tear away easy in an emergency, I have thin legging like shorts that my mist can get through underneath. I seriously look tacky, but hey it's only version one and I was in a hurry so what can you do.
I wanna give the girls some time so I do a little shadow boxing In the mirror. This is your time, everything you dreamed of! You are a new man now, you have power, you have confidence! You can literally create anything, overcome anything!
I spend some more time focusing on my music, after a few more minutes I take a deep breath and step out of the bathroom. Mina is over by the side of my bed, she jumps turning quickly looking frazzled.

I nearly gasp at how sexy mina looks, her costume is so tight! I can't say it's my favorite color or even pattern but damn... This girl has curves. I look around confused why she is surprised, and where is Jiro?
"Hey mina what happened to Jiro?"
"Oh she forgot the speaker that goes on her right leg so she is running to grab it... And well... To be honest... She didn't actually forget it.... I hid it in the couch on purpose" Mina gives a devilish grin to my confused face, what does she mean she hid it?
"You see Seto I wanted to have a talk with you alone before we go on this mission"
She walks toward me like a beast stalking it's prey, I instinctively step back but quickly hit the door. What is this all about, what does she want? She places a hand on my chest, I shutter a little at her tender touch on my bare skin.
"I have a favor to ask you concerning Jiro...."
