Heroes From Another Universe Volume 1: A Hero's Journey in Gotham

Chapter 6: Training with the Dark Knight

"We both attend UA High School, where we receive combat training and experience. And a few days after our first day at UA, there was a villain attack on our class at the U.S.J. orchestrated by the League of Villains in an attempt to kill All Might. We were able to defend ourselves." Shoto explained.

Batman nodded, "That's good, practical experience is important. And I assume your school teaches more than just combat, such as strategy and teamwork?"

Momo nodded, "Yes, we also learn about hero work ethics and the importance of cooperation and communication in a team."

Robin stood there listening silently, observing Shoto and Momo.

"Alright then, let's start your training. We'll begin with a basic combat exercise to see where you both stand and what areas you need improvement in." Batman says.

They spent the next few hours in the Batcave, going through various combat exercises and techniques. Batman and Robin were impressed with their skills and ability to work as a team despite their different personalities.

After the training session, Batman spoke to them, "You both have impressive skills and can work well as a team. However, there is always room for improvement. Don't limit yourself to just what you have learned at school. Keep learning, practising, and pushing yourself to be better every day."

Shoto and Momo nodded in agreement.

Batman continued, "Now, I guessing you do have hero costumes.... just not with you"

"Umm yeah...They are back in our universe" Shoto replied.

Batman nodded, "No worries. I have some spare costumes in the Batcave. Or I could ask Lucius to create a suit for you if you a design"

"Thank you. We would appreciate that, but I'm able to create my costume with my quirk because It's something I'm used to doing." Momo said appreciatively.

"Understood," Batman nodded. "In that case, Todoroki, we can look at some existing options for you, or you can work with Lucius to create your own suit design."

"Well because of quirk, I would need a suit that has temperature-resistant fiber to help regulate between my ice and fire, so my own suit design would be better" Todoroki explained.

"Ah, I see. Then working with Lucius would be the best option for you," Batman replied.

Momo nodded in agreement, "I think it's a great idea. We really appreciate your help, Batman."

"Of course," Batman said, "I'm always happy to assist fellow heroes."

Shoto and Momo exchanged a glance, grateful for Batman's hospitality and assistance.

"Thank you. We won't forget this," Shoto said with a small smile

"You're welcome," Batman replied with a nod.

As Batman and Robin left the Batcave to go on patrol, Momo turned to Shoto and said, "That was really cool. We got to meet two heroes from this universe."

"Yeah, it was pretty awesome," Shoto agreed with a smile. "I better get on working on the designs for Lucius. Should I do my regular hero costume or my stealth costume?"

"I say try both," Momo suggested. "Maybe we'll find out which one works best."

Shoto nodded in agreement, "Good point. I will start sketching up both costumes than for Lucius."

With that, Shoto and Momo were ready to continue their hero training and make the most of their time in this new universe.

The next day, Batman and Robin went to the Batcave. When they walked into the cave, they saw Shoto with two costume sketches, then they saw Momo creating her suit using her quirk. They watched as she created a leotard from her skin. She then created a belt, and then a cape. Once finished, she held up the completed design.

"What do you think?"

"It looks great, Yaoyorozu, but it looks like your skin would be exposed," Batman observed.

"I need some of my skin exposed for my quirk to work probably so I will be able to create large items, since the items would be made by popping out my skin," Momo explained.

Batman and Robin exchanged glances, impressed by Momo's quick thinking and knowledge of her quirk.

"Now, I recommend you try the leotard on to make sure it fits properly," Batman suggested.

"Okay," Momo agreed, "Let me change and I'll put it on."

Batman and Robin looked over to Shoto who had his costume sketches ready.

"Here are my sketches. What do you think?" he asked.

"These look great, Todoroki!" Batman complimented him. "Both designs are practical and functional. Have you decided which one you want to go with?"

No... because they're both good for different situations, one is good for stealth while the other one is well my regular hero costume" Shoto admitted. "I'm still trying to choose between them."

"Take your time to decide. It's important that you feel comfortable in your costume and that it suits your needs," Robin advised.

Shoto nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Momo returned in her leotard and checked her reflection in the mirror.

"It fits perfectly," she said with a smile.

"Excellent," Batman remarked. He then turns back to Shoto. "If you like, I could arrange to get both your designs tailored. That way, you can switch between them depending on the situation."

Shoto's face lit up at the offer. "Really? That would be amazing!"

"Consider it done," Batman replied with a smirk. "I'll let Lucius know to get started on the tailoring."

"Thank you so much, Batman," Shoto said gratefully.

"No problem. We're here to support each other," Batman replied.

"Is there anything else you need help with?" Robin asked.

Shoto shook his head. "No, that's all. Thank you both for your help and advice."

"Anytime," Robin replied with a smile.

Momo chimed in. "Yes, thank you both. I feel ready to take on whatever challenge comes our way now."

Batman nodded, pleased with their progress. "You're both welcome. Keep practicing and developing your skills, and never hesitate to ask for help when you need it."

"We won't," Shoto and Momo replied in unison.

"Great. Now let's get back to training," Batman said, "I'll leave you to train with Robin while I go to let Lucius know to get started on the tailoring." He turned and walked out of the room, his cape flowing behind him.

Shoto and Momo watched him leave, feeling grateful for his guidance and support. They turned to Robin, who was already in a fighting stance.

"Ready to train?" he asked with a smirk.

Shoto and Momo nodded determinedly.

"Let's do this." Robin says smirking, and the three of them began training.
