Living in a world where magical portal containing monsters is something the people of Musutafu are familiar with. Civilians are taught to call the police and local heroes to handle any sudden Gates so they'll just contact the proper authority and stay a good few kilometers away as extra measures. 

Hence the nearby heroes who'd answered the call felt stumped on what to do. Upon arrival, they found several Myrmidons, the blue type to be exact, scrounging through the burnt remains of an apartment complex. They had just arrived two minutes after the call was made and weren't expecting something like this.

"S-should we do something? I don't wanna fix my cape up again. " Minoru whispered to his friend, tensing up when the insect warriors turned towards them. Their eyes met, fearful purple eyes meeting dull blue. The contact lasted for several seconds until the insect break it off in favor of their task. It felt like a massive burden was lifted off the young purple hero's back.

The monsters hadn't chosen to attack anyone yet and they feel reluctant to fight against it. They seen the news and saw it were one of the few to fight against the iron monster.  They assume it belong to the green-haired mage.  And yet, they couldn't help but wonder why two are going through the rubble. Tokoyami had went to asked them

"I believe it is best for us to simply observe cautiously as possible. Even though they aided us before, I do not believe they would maintain such disposition if provoked." Tokoyami spoke solemnly, flexing the clawed gauntlets on him. 

"Ugh, just my luck. Today I gotta go on a date with my girl. We're supposed to go to this five star hotel. My treat as well." Minoru snapped, bouncing one of the hair balls in hand. A part of the avian-themed hero still couldn't help but feel shocked hearing the purple-haired fellow's words.

"Didn't you mention it'll be during night time?" A firm nod was given and Tokoyami continued, slightly annoyed. "Then you've got nothing to worry about."

"I know but I'm afraid of forgetting it again. Gates been popping up left and right for the past few days and I couldn't even get to the fun part with my girl because of patrol. We'd even have to come all the way here because the heroes in this freaking prefecture is occupied. Think about that man!" Minoru bemoaned.

The avian hero kept quiet, knowing full how factual his words are. For the last couple of months, there had been an increase in appearance of Gates across the country and from what he'd seen on the news, countries across the world are suffering similar plight. Of course, thisIn addition, the two of them were in charge

"True but we're heroes. It's our duty to protect the people."

"I know that. I'm just saying it'll be better if the monsters stop showing out of the blue!" Minoru yelled out the last part, purposefully aimed at the monsters. A smirk crossed the dwarf of a man when the monsters paid him no heed.

"I suggest you stop that lest they come charging. Also, how's Tsuyu-chan been doing for the last couple of weeks?" Tokoyami asked. "Actually, I'm surprised she's dating you at all given how you've acted in the past."

Tokoyami's sentiment wasn't without merit as he'd recalled how rude the shorter man was towards the female populace. Growls escaped his shadows confirming Tokoyami's Quirk was even in agreement. Then again, it never went beyond harmless question and the leery looks imposed on the female. Of course, he very much prefer to gaze them from afar but that's not the point.

"Agh, it's fine. I know I didn't gave off the best impression back when we were still in-training but...I guess I kinda matured. Besides, Tsuyu's a bombshell so I got nothing to lose." Minoru laughed to which Tokoyami shook his own in mild exasperation. Working with Minoru for the past three years was an experience on its own. Certainly, knowing that he has culled some of his less than stellar traits is nice but it would be great if he could wipe it out entirely.
