Monoma looked up at her, at a loss for words.

He hugged her back, trying to hide his face as tears and soft sobs slipped out. His face felt hot, and despite her words he felt ashamed to show his feelings like this. Monoma tried desperately to keep everything inside but once the first tears fell, there was nothing he could do to hold the rest back.

“God..I’m, pathetic.”

“You’re not,” Yang whispers, “It’s okay to cry, Mono--it’s okay to let yourself feel...” she pressed a kiss atop his head, “It’ll be okay--just let it all come out...” Her hand stroked the back of his head, and she simply held him.

A bright smile formed on Ryuko’s face, glad to hear what the other had said. Yang was right, of course. And on the right path it seemed. What more could a potential mentor hope for?

“That’s a good mentality to have! Hold onto that Yang, that ideal of moving forward no matter what! That’ll carry you far, so long as you hold it true to your heart!” Ryuko’s tail was flicking wildly, excitement audible in her voice.

“Yeah,” Yang’s smile was audible--though it was soft and sure--content, even. “...A wise man told me to keep moving forward, once--it was just before I lost my arm. After it, I...I dunno, I didn’t really look at things the same way as I did.

Good. Ryuko had been a bit worried that Yang would be more revenge-bent than she seemed. And even if she was, it should be made plenty clear that it’s not the right way to go about this during the internship.

“Don’t worry Yang. He’ll get arrested and things can start improving.” A slight pause as she hummed. “But, me and the other Pussycats are excited! We’ll all be looking forward to when the internship period rolls around.”

Yang smirked at the remark--the implication that things only started improving once he was arrested was understandable, but...

“That’s not completely true,” she looked back at her teammates, all chatting from the hood and roof of the group’s car; it wasn’t bumblebee, but Genestoria (Weiss got to name it) was pretty special, “...As long as we stick together, we’ll always keep improving, and keep getting stronger--even when things go totally wrong.” Her lips curled up like growing vines, and she refocused on Ryuko’s finishing remark.

“Yeah! I hope that maybe we’ll be able to make a firm like yours. Maybe after the Vale takeback. Who knows, right?” Yang rubbed the back of her head.

Yeah…that’s what she’d figured. At least some of it. A limb lost trying to protect a friend…Adam Taurus… Adam Taurus. She wondered if she’d be able to find any information on him. Hopefully she could.

“What’s done is done. But ya know what? I think you’ll make a great hero one day. Jumping into the fray to protect someone, even at the cost of yourself. That’s what heroes do regularly. You can’t have reservations about putting yourself at risk.” A softer tone came in. “Plus, it’ll be all the more satisfying once that guy gets locked up. If he’s as dangerous as you say, he might even get put in Tartarus.”

“That’s what Eraser Head said, too,” Yang snickers to herself, but lets out a noise of indifference, “Well...locked up or gone for good, either way I think I’ll be happy.” There was an exhale of steam from the sun as she sighs, “Considering he organized the attack on Beacon and Vale, then I’d say his being locked up is fairly appropriate, yeah.”

“The Wild Wild Pussycat team is so cool!”

“Yes I suppose we will.”

Smirking, she lightly elbowed him.

“C-Cry? I’m not going to cry.”

Tears welled up in his eyes even as he spoke. He shut his eyes and reached up to wipe them away. Monoma couldn’t stand crying. Especially in front of others. He thinks it makes him look as weak and useless as he feels.

“Crying doesn’t mean you’re weak, Mono,” Yang encouraged him, cupping both his cheeks then, “Letting yourself cry makes you strong. It means you’re willing to expose your real feelings, even if it hurts. That’s a good thing.”

She gave him a soft hug, “Here...c’mere...”

“That’s not exactly wrong either.” Peter said. “Give a person a load of cash, and see what they do with it. More often than not, they’ll act out for themselves rather than for others. It’s sad, really.”

Even though Peter, if given a load of money himself, would absolutely need it, there’s no doubt that the selfless side of him would help the needy if given the wealth. His services as Spider-Man were good enough for now, at least.

Peter decided to change the subject. It was getting a bit dreary.

“…So!” He said, trying to create some levity. “How long have you been going to U.A., miss…? I don’t think I caught your name.”

“Yang! Yang Xiaolong--and I...actually just transferred here from Beacon Academy, in Vale.” The city under siege from Salem, the White Fang, and who-knows-what-else...

“My uh--my team and I, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Blake Belladonna--we’re planning to take back Vale when we graduate.”

Emily pointed to Yang. “Yes. It gets to be too much. Thankfully mom made a blocker for when I sleep.” She took a of a wrap bite, smiling. “That is good. In any case, I’m much better at tinkering. Makes a mess in my room, but I’ve made some useful gadgets.”

“Mm, my little sis is the same way!” Yang beams, “Absolutely loves tinkering--but gods help you if you have to go in her room. It’s like the entire place is one giant weapon factory.”

Peter shrugged.

“Tony Stark’s been known to be a bit of a party animal, but he’s never been one to let that get in the way of his work. He and I talked a few times in the past. He’s actually kinda nice. He just sounds like a workaholic, always working on new suits. At least, from what it sounds like with him.”

He obviously didn’t want to give too much away, but even commonfolk knew how much work Tony put into each of the Iron Man suits and the tech used by the Avengers. It was honestly a wonder how his cavalier attitude didn’t muddy his prowess as both an engineer and a businessman.

“Norman, on the other hand…” Peter sighed as his hands were on his hips, recollecting old memories of him and Harry. “I’m actually best friends with his son, Harry. I dunno, he’s just a bit more… distant. He’s so focused on the business and profits of Oscorp, and doesn’t really try to make things better for the sake of it. He only cares about money, really. And it honestly clouds him.”

Clouded him enough to become insane, and even moreso, the Green Goblin.

“Guess it really just depends on who holds the money.” Peter mused. “Obviously, not everyone is going to be noble if they’re a billionaire.”

“Mm,” is Yang’s only reply to the remark about Stark; she knew well enough that he was Iron Man and he pranced around like it. But Norman Osborn on the other hand... her brows shot up at the revelation of Peter’s relationship with Harry.

“...There’s an old expression from a favorite book of mine--the expression’s called “Dragon Sickness.” When someone gets an exorbitant amount of money, they stop thinking clearly--like a mental illness. I’ve seen it happen to a couple people, now.”

Yang’s mind wandered--was that why Jacques was the way he was? The money? Really?

Emily soon had four wraps set up, two for each of them. “I know what you mean. I had to learn to tightly control mine just to not get overwhelmed. If I let it go passively, I can connect to any machine within fifty meters. All that beamed straight to your head is well…” She got a few waters, trying to think of the proper word. “Not loud. Hard to describe.”

“Overwhelming. Like seeing a bunch of lights and colors all coming at you at the same time and your body goes into panic mode.” Yang nods slowly, “I...know the feeling. When Rage gets the ball rolling, it does that to me if I’m not focused.”

Ryuko noticed the change in voice, moving and leaning herself slightly against a wall. Her tail swayed absently as she listened to the other. “No, you haven’t.” The hero could make assumptions, educated guesses. And through those she had a feeling it had something to do with that Adam guy.

“You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to.”

“...Well, the short version is that I saw Adam Taurus stabbing Blake, so I jumped in to try and save her, and he reacted before I could dodge around him...” A pause as she swallowed that lump in her throat and finished, “...And that’s how I lost my arm. I bought Blake enough time to make a duplicate and get us both out of there, but...I felt like a failure because I wasn’t able to control my temper. If I hadn’t yelled and jumped at him--if I had just carefully gone in and beat him back...”

Emily shrugged at the question. “I need to work on my fighting technique. My tech increases my strength and reaction speed, but skill can;t be simply made. You gotta earn it. Plus I am not too good talking directly to others. At least not well…” She was spooning the chicken and peppers into the wraps, tucking them tightly ready to eat.

“True enough,” Yang nods, “I’ve had to work quite a bit to control myself so my quirk actually becomes viable. It’s no use if I get mad at everybody, you know?” She watched with careful eyes.

Peter blinked.

Maybe that might not have been the best thing to say.

Despite the fact that SDC, Stark Industries, and Oscorp were all a trifecta of cutting edge tech, Peter knew how heavy handed Norman Osborn was as a businessman. From the sounds of things, it seemed like whoever was running the SDC was nearly identical to that of Norman.

“I just made this whole thing awkward, didn’t I?” He asked.

“Nehhh,” Yang shrugs, “Not really? It’s just that...I dunno, Weiss is having a rough time of it and she looks up to her sister. That was why I asked.” The blonde gave a shrug, “...Oscorp and Stark--are their head-honchos like that, too? Or is it just Weiss’s dad?”

“E-Everything?”

Monoma turned away and looked at the floor. He’d never thought of it like that.

“Yang…”

He put a hand over his mouth. Don’t cry, don’t be a baby, come on… He just couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

Yang cupped his cheeks, making him look her in the eyes--and her metallic arm, which should have been ice-cold, was actually warm to the touch. “It’s okay to cry, Monoma. You’re a person, too--you’ve got every right to cry, as much as I do.”

Emily blushed lightly, a bit shy at the praise. “Well not pro heroes, but heroes in their own way. I’m doing my best here for them.” The chicken was beginning to smell great.As she stirred up the chicken and peppers in a pan, she gestured to a cupboard. “I think we have wraps in there. Could you get some out?”

Yang nodded before doing just that, reaching under the cupboard to get out some wraps. She couldn’t help but remark, “Jeez, you can cook, too? Is there anything you can’t do?”
