Once they were all in the batcave, Bruce turned and pointed to the computer."Take a seat," Batman said. "I've got a few things that need doing."
As Momo and Shoto sat down in front of the computer, Robin glanced over at Batman, confusion and worry on his face. "Father? What is the meaning of this?" Batman smiled. "What? It's nothing to worry about. Just a little background research."
Robin relaxed. "Alright then," he said.
"Go and make them feel comfortable while I get a few things that need doing," Batman said as he walked to get some large computer disks from the supplies. He knew these two were like no others; they were unique, not like any other metas. But, still, some things needed to be done.
"Yes father" Robin said, before making his way over to Momo and Shoto.
"So how did you get your powers?" Robin asked Shoto and Momo. "We were born with them, but we manifested them at age four or sometimes later" Shoto replied .
"I manifested mine when I was five years old" Momo chimed in
"born with powers but manifest them later on?" Damian questioned them, not believing
Batman made his way back over to the computer, he was already hard at work. It was like these two were a puzzle that needed solving and he was the most brilliant person around to do it. As long as they are safe and happy, it matters not what their powers are or what their abilities may be. But deep down, Batman knew that he couldn't be naive. He had to understand the extent of their powers and abilities, and what their limitations were. He had to prepare for any possible threat, especially since they were still young.
Robin continued talking to Momo and Shoto, fascinated by their experiences and abilities. "What kind of things can you do with your powers?" he asked.
Shoto responded, "I have the ability to generate ice, frost, and cold from the right side of my body, and fire, flames, and heat from the left. "
Momo added, "And I can create any non-living material/object from any part of my body. In order to create something, I need to understand the molecular structure of what the material/object is made of."
Damian listened intently, still skeptical of their abilities. But he couldn't deny how interesting and useful they could be in their line of work. "You two are quite remarkable," he said finally. "But I have to ask, how do you control your powers? I can't imagine it's easy to balance such opposite elements."
Shoto smiled faintly. "It's taken years of training and practice," he said. "But I've learned to control the temperature and intensity of each side of my body separately. It's all about balance and focus."
Momo nodded in agreement. "I've learned to develop my understanding of materials and their structures," she said. "It's a skill that comes with practice, but I'm always learning more."
Robin was impressed. "It sounds like you have a lot of control and precision with your powers."
"I'm still trying to use both sides at the same time," Shoto admitted. "But it's difficult, and I still have a lot of work to do in that area."
Momo nodded with empathy. "It's definitely a challenge," she said. "But I believe in you, Todoroki. With practice and persistence, you'll be able to master it."
Shoto smiled gratefully at Momo, feeling encouraged by her words. "Thank you, Yaoyorozu."
"Perhaps we can have a training session together," Batman suggested, walking over to join the conversation. "I want to see the extent of your powers and how they can be used in our missions."
Momo and Shoto began to think if they should accept Batman's offer. Since they are from another universe and they want to find a way back home but this could help with their training to become heroes, they weren't sure if this was the right move. However, they also knew that training with Batman could be a valuable learning experience.
After a moment of silence, Shoto spoke up. "We would be honoured," he said, looking at the Dark Knight with a determined gaze. "But there's also something else"he added.
"What is it?" Batman asked, his eyes narrowing in curiosity.
"We're not from this world," Momo spoke up, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings.
"And our main priority is to find a way back home."Shoto added.
Batman's expression softened at their words. "I understand," he replied. "I'll do what I can to help you return home, but first let's focus on training together. We'll work on your powers and also try to figure out a way to get you back to your universe."
Momo and Shoto both nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over them.
"Thank you for your help," Momo said to Batman. "We'll definitely work hard and take our training session to the next level."
After a moment of silence, Batman said, "Let's get started then. But first, explain about your universe and how you ended up here."
Momo and Shoto exchanged a look before Momo took a deep breath and began to explain their situation.
"We come from a universe where 80% of the population has superpowers, called quirks. Our society is structured around these quirks, and there are heroes who use their quirks to protect the citizens from villains who use their quirks for evil purposes. Todoroki and I are both students at U.A. High School, a prestigious school for heroes in training. However, we wanted a day to have a break from school, along with our Hero Work-Studies. When we accidentally confronted a villain who had the ability to open portals to different universes, we were sucked through one of these portals and ended up in your world."
Batman listened carefully, nodding at certain points. "I see. Quirks are similar to the powers some of the individuals in this universe possess. And you say you were sucked through a portal by this villain with portal-opening abilities."
Shoto spoke up, "Yes I guess. But we also noticed that the way this world operates is vastly different from ours. We are not familiar with the rules and laws of this universe, so we were hoping you could guide us."
Batman leaned forward, "I'll do my best to help you. But first, I need to ask you a few questions to gauge your capabilities."
Momo and Shoto nodded in agreement, ready to prove their worth to Batman. "What would you like us to do?" Momo asked.
Batman thought for a moment before speaking, "Can you both demonstrate your Quirks for me?"
Momo and Shoto exchanged another look before nodding.
Momo raised her hand and created a small object out of her body, "My Quirk is called Creation. I can create any non-living object as long as I understand its molecular structure."
Shoto took a deep breath before generating a burst of flames from his left side and then a gust of ice from his right side, "My Quirk is called Half-Cold Half-Hot. I can create ice with my right side and flames with my left side."
Batman observed them for a moment before nodding, "Impressive. It seems your Quirks are quite useful."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Now, do you have any combat training or experience? Have you ever fought villains before?"
"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.
