"Ah, I'm so excited!" Kirishima shouted, his fist thrusted in the air with a ginormous grin on his face.

After the class had settled on choosing who would get to go from a simple game of rock paper scissors, the remaining four seats were given to Kirishima, Kaminari, Midoriya, and Jiro. While Kaminari, Kirishima, and Jiro chose to sit in the back, Midoriya sat next to Ojiro and Hagakure in the middle, and the front passenger seat was occupied by none other than Aizawa.

"Man, I can't believe we get to actually see what America looks like! Well, a different version of it anyway. I've never been out of the country before!"

"Or out of universe," Jiro deadpanned.

"Dude, when we get there, I'm going to be so confused," Kaminari groaned, "everything's going to be in english! My worst subject too."

The corner of Reia's lips twitched upwards slightly. While they did come from a completely different universe, it didn't change the fact that none of them new any english, aside from Midoriya who Reia came to learn that he at least understood some words. On top of that, because they didn't speak or understand english very well, she was a little worried they would get lost somewhere, or if worst comes to worst, kidnapped.

Yeah, that definitely worried her more.

Glancing at her side, she saw Aizawa staring out the window, arms crossed as he watched the fields continue to pass by. Since the house was on the outskirts of New York, it takes about an hour to get towards the busier part of the state and an extra 30 minutes to get to the mall she intended to bring them to. It's been about 45 minutes, so it wouldn't be long before they reached their destination.

"Hey, you wanted to come, so deal with it," Hagakure stated off-handedly, "besides, shouldn't a different world excite you enough to not care whether everything is in english or not?"

"I mean, I guess. But still."

"Try not to worry too much about it. Just stay where me or Aizawa can see you and I'll translate anything you want to know, alright?" Reia said.

The group of students nodded in unison.

The rest of the car ride went off without a hitch. Eventually, once Reia had passed into the busier part of New York, the kids looked out the windows in awe. Looming skyscrapers casted shadows over the streets of the city. A variety of people walked on the sides of the road. Some were businessman trying to get to their offices, some were people heading to a cafe, and others were just people going on with their daily lives.

After a lot of traffic and some cursing from Reia, the car finally moved into a spot in a parking garage.

"Alright, let's go," she said, unbuckling her seatbelt and turning off the car.

Hagakure threw the door open, excitedly hopping out with the others following behind her. Reia made sure to keep an eye on everyone so they don't wander off. Once everyone was out, she began to lead them towards their destination. When their eyes caught onto the building before them, they all gasped.

Standing tall was a funnel-shaped building. It was made up of a copious amount of stairs, all coming together to create an architectural wonder that many tourist from other states come to see every year. The group stood in front of the two adults with big grins on their faces.

"So cool!" Ojiro yelled out.

"It's so big!" Hagakure replied.

Kaminari's mouth fell in shock, Kirishima doing the same. "Wow, what is this?"

"It's the main centerpiece of the Hudson Yards! The Hudson Yards' Vessel!" Midoriya told everyone, "this spiral staircase was created by Thomas Heatherwick and his studio to let tourist enjoy the view of New York! With almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings, it's the best place to experience the city view at night!"
