《Growing Old》Carpet
Advertisement
There were flashing lights onto the sidelines. Cameras, phones, all taking pictures and videos. Heroes were walking down the red carpet, their names being called with their attack power and a description about them.
"Coming in to our Top Five!" The announcer, who was Actually Present Mic, announced. "Number Five, Red Riot! Attack Level 390. Currently dating Pinky and works at Cementos's former agency. This hero can turn his body rock hard, making him unbreakable!"
Kirishima was walking down the carpet, waving at the cameras with a sharp toothy smile.
"Number Four, Nejire Chan! Attack Level 457. This sparky girl has it all! The looks and the personality! You can always count on her to get your mood up when your down. This hero can shoot energy surges great and small!"
Nejire floated in, posing for the camera as she giggled.
"Number Three, Shoto! Attack Level 570. Son of former hero Endeavor, this man can make any girl swoon. This hero can create ice and fire! He works at Midnight's former agency, usually working alongside Imperium."
Todoroki looked unfazed by the cameras and girls screaming in very high pitched tones.
"Number two, Ground Zero! Attack Level 590. This man can create explosions right from his hands by the nitroglycerin he sweats. He has a bit of an attitude but does this man have spunk! He works at Cementos's former agency, mostly alongside Charge Bolt and Red Riot, as well as is newly engaged to Deku!"
Bakugo groaned as he walked down the carpet, stopping to pose for one photo and one photo only.
"Last, but very not least- Number One, Deku! Attack Level 640. Our Symbol of Peace and successor of All Might, this boy can do it all! He never fails to smile, even in a life or death situation. Even at a young age, he defeated villains left and right, always strategizing to do the best!"

Izuku smiled widely, waving to the cameras as he walked the carpet. He quickly caught up to Bakugo, which they linked arms as more pictures were taken. They walked into the building, where they saw their friends and past heroes sitting at a table ready for interviews.
Once they sat down, the questioning began.
Most questions were towards All Might and Izuku, some being towards Kirishima, Tamaki, and Fat Gum too. Of course the couples, Mina and Kirishima as well as Bakugo and Izuku.
"Enough with these child play questions!" A reporter spoke up. "You have Tomura detained correct? But what about the other part of his League? Don't you believe they will have a plan in place for his rescue or what they will be up to? You heroes are supposed to be protecting Japan! Instead, you all are off becoming engaged or making puppy eyes to each other. Some heroes you are!"
Some other reporters joined in on that type of questioning, all claiming their not living up to what heroes should be. Most of the heroes being questioned were hesitant to answer. Bakugo wanted to blow up the main culprit of the questioning, but Todoroki smacked his arm. Izuku glanced to All Might, who nudged his head towards the crowd.
Izuku took a deep breathe, standing up and moving to the front of the stage they were seated on. Instantly, the crowd became silent and he looked to them all.
"I know... I know it may seem like we aren't doing anything." Izuku started. "We want to reassure you all, that we are still doing our jobs even though it seems like we are not. But, just as you all, we too have a life we want to live. Being a hero is very dangerous and we put our lives on the line because we want to protect you all. Or for my instance, I want everyone to be able to smile and to live their lives. If Tomura is broken out of the prison, we all will be right there to detain him once again. We have already been meeting together to figure out where the rest of the League are, but it's difficult when we haven't seen, nor heard, of them in years. With that, please be patient with us, and we'll be patient with you."

Izuku went to sit back down, leaving the crowd in utter silence. He was a bit annoyed at the disbelief of the citizens, but otherwise proud to have reassured them. Because at that point, everyone was clapping, reporters apologizing.
And with that, more questioning came.

8 197Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not. New chapters posted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 p.m EST, 10 p.m. GMT.
