"Are you ok?" he asked, first noticing her cold tone, and then her pink cheeks.

"I'm fine Lucas, j-just worried about how I'm going to look in this." she gestured to her costume. She only admitted to one of her grievances because she really didn't want to talk or think about her conflicting thoughts. She then pulled her costume into her lap and readied herself for Xavier's pairing choices. Kinda hoping to be with one of the other girls.

"I think you'll look fine in it." he said, trying to comfort her, before going back to his seat.

Haley's lips moved into a weak smile and she nodded to Lucas. "Thanks." She mumbled before returning her attention to Xavier. She was going to be right mad is she was a damsel. She didn't know if she'd be able to play along.

"Now then. Let's see... The first team is going to be Lucas and Meruem as heroes, vs Karen and Ayn. We have a rather small class so that will be about all. I suppose the winners will take on Haley and augustus then" Xavier responded, looking up.
"Does that sound alright to you all? If it does, then go suit up and head to the underground training room with me"

Haley nodded to the teacher and stood up. "Should be fine." She said giving Augustus a glance then heading out of the classroom, as she walked down the hall she shook the feelings of sadness out of her mind, she didn't have time for them. It was time to put on her hero costume this was an important moment, this was how she was going to be seen by the world. You'll be fine Haley, you're not up first. She managed to calm herself as she walked into the changing room.

She was changing off in a secluded corner of the room, keeping to herself. As she stripped down and begun to pull on her uniform she began to notice. There wasn't much uniform. Her face instantly turned red as she looked down to see her exposed abdomen and the short skirt that was most of her outfit. The rest was short selves, but she kind of understood those because of how her quirk worked tho she still didn't like it. "Oh my god!" She cried out and she quickly went to the closest mirror she could find. Her legs began to tremble as she saw herself in the outfit. W-what is this!? Her right eye began to twitch.

Lucas was surprised at his partner being Meruem, and went off to get changed into his hero outfit. It wasn't that impressive, but it morphed with him, which is all he needed.

Charles would nod to the teacher's orders, even though he wasn't included in the teams, from analyzing the amount of students he knew why since they simply didn't have enough people. So Charles would head to the boys changing room to change into his outfit, he noticed his movements was slightly resisted but figured this feeling would go away as he wore the suit more and got use to it. He would look at the others in the changing room, and would use facial expression to try and pinpoint who Lucas and Meruem are before speaking out towards them "Good luck you two" he states out.

Karen cracks her neck then goes to the female change room with the other females, not one bit embarrassed, seeing as though sharing a changing room is a fairly common thing in high school. She changes into something that somewhat resembles the standard UA sports uniform, only covering more of her body and is slightly more skin-tight, due to the fibers being refined to not get incinerated the moment she turns on her quirk. She stares at herself in the mirror, looking for any signs of stress seeing as though she has a habit of overthinking, and luckily finds none. After deliberating her strategy, she ends up shruging at herself due to no knowledge about Meruem or Lucas, just the girl she was paired with. She eventually turns and opens her mouth to speak to Haley, only to be silenced by Haley's exclamation.
"Uhh, you know, usually that comes after you get in a fight, not before. There a problem?" She asked, quite confused as to why Haley was so red-faced and jittery.

Haley made a slight squeaking sound and looked up at Karen. "I-It's just that I-I'm n-n-not that comfortable w-with showing this much skin... At least not around b-boys..." Her face reddened even more and she ran her hand over her stomach and cupped her face in her hands. I should have been paying more attention! she screamed in her own mind, her face bright as a light."O-oh I'm Haley by the way. Haley G-Grace." Haley uncovered her face and put out a hand for Karen to shake, she put on a nervous smile.

A ghost of a smile appeared on Karen's face as that was quite the problem for a lot of girls her age, and she nodded along and took Haley's hand in a light but elegant grip.
"Karen Koning. And that's quite the... uh... predicament, that you're in. Wanna swap with me? Though I'm pretty certain ya won't get yours back cause my quirk is a bit destructive." She giggled very slightly, in her element when talking with other girls like herself instead of boys, which she didn't have the most experience with. She eventually lets the smile appear in full, and she lets go of Haley's hand to run her hand through her flaming hair. The young girls' smile just as radiant as her hair, and she looks over Haley with a somewhat trained eye.
"But if y'ask me, methinks you should use your looks ta your advantage, 'specially when fighting boys. If you think they'll be lookin' at you, you're right. They'll be starin' at ya like no tomorrow, so be sure to give 'em a good thump or two while they're gawkin'." She smiled again, and watched Haley's red face for any discernible reaction to her proposition and advice.

Haley let out a worried groan and her face was almost as read as the Karen's flaming hair. She shook her head ferociously "N-n-no no that won't work! I-I'll pass out before t-they even h-hit me!" She exclaimed her concerns now at an all time high. She was far to worried about what Karen was saying to realise it was probably meant to stir her up. Is this what it's like to be a hero!? Haley thought and she quickly started off towards the exit of the changing room. She waved to Karen as she left to be polite, but in actuality she was leaving to get away from Karen.

This girl was far to calm with the prospect of showing off her body and using it to distract the boys. This idea was so alien to Haley she could barely comprehend it. It was hard enough looking at herself with this "stripper outfit" but how were the boys going to react! She tried to stay hidden and huddled in a corner of the room Xavier told them to gather in. Her eye then twitched, she had forgotten about the engine boy, if fact she had all but forgotten his name! She then regained some level of composure but decided to stay in the corner.

Lucas thanked the new boy who wished them good luck, and headed out where they were supposed to meet, pulling his hood over his head. He looked around and noticed Haley, but did a double take once he saw her outfit. He then noticed how uncomfortable she was with it, and remembered the conversation when he drew a design for her, and pretended not to notice.

Karen giggled a bit more after Haley left, knowing how shy people were and how they eventually come out of their shells. She giggled some more and after a while fiddling with her hair subconsciously, finally decided to stand in front of the mirror Haley was in front of before. She looked at herself for a while with her tongue poked out in thought. She poked and pulled at parts of her 'costume' for a while before turning around and inspecting her back. She continued pouting and started mumbling something while she continued poking around.
"B-U-T-T... Butt... Beepity boopity bop... B-O-Y-S... Blepity blopity boop..." Obviously if anybody could hear her they'd either see Karen as playful or childish, or completely insane. It was an innate mind-set she was in, only really understandable if someone truly knew her. Eventually she stretched once or twice in her costume, then turned on her quirk for the first time since her arrival at UA. Her entire body was coated in flame, and her costume was lost in the intense heat and fire. Almost all details of her body is lost in the fire, barely even her body outline visible while coated in the fire and the flames. She clenched her fist and held it out in front of her to look at, and as she did so, all of the flames around her body intensified, both increasing the temperature in the immediate area, and slightly scorching the floor of the changing rooms. She laughed, then looked in the mirror for the moment of truth. She deactivated her quirk and stared at herself in the mirror, the costume being singed, but still functional.
Damn, gonna have t'make it more resistant. I'll make a note of that somewhere, sometime, probably not. She then nods to herself, and starts walking out of the changing rooms, either bumping into her partner or not, that being up to the GM.

Charles would nod from the thanks, and while in his new outfit he heads out to gather with everyone else. He'd not really pay attention to any of the other's costumes. As he stands wit the others and awaits for the teacher's orders. Deciding to do some simulations about the upcoming battle from the information he had gathered so far. Their quirks was still a mystery so the simulations wasn't that well done and didn't let him even get a slight guess of who could succeed.

She would bump into someone on her way out, but not her partner, instead the other new girl. The young lady was in her outfit, that of a cat burglar, no straps over her shoulders, instead of being held up merely by its tightness around her body. The girl just laughed when the now flaming girl finally noticed her. The whole preparation for the battle had been fairly entertaining for her. Stretching the tights around her powerful thighs, no doubt honed for her time as a hero, he spoke to the lady of fire.
"Say, are your leg hairs just fire too? That'd kinda suck to shave" He responded, it came off as more of a statement than a real question. He walked with the girl she had titled 'flame girl' to the other who had gathered in the are.

The group all met in the underground training room's entrance, a large television in the middle with a large keyboard filled with various items to be used to control the area beyond them or to call off or announce things to the participants. To the left and right where a pair of double doors, each leading to the starting grounds for the fake heroes and villains respectively. Xavier turned to the group as the television showed four cameras.

"Well now, the first group, go on in. The rest of us will watch. Remember, the villains need to protect the damsel from being captured for 10 minutes while the heroes have to get her safely and bring her back to the start. If the damsel is damaged severely both teams lose" Xavier continued.

Ayn stepped forward, she slumped for seemingly wobbling towards the villain side. She didn't look fully awake, more like she was too tired to really be active. As soon as she and her partner were through the doors she had a sort of sinister smile on her face though, but it looked rather dopey with her tired eyes.
"Ya know, I used to be a sort of 'villain' back in the day. Not one of the hot shots, but you know, I dabbled" She spoke aloud, again, more to herself than to her partner.
"So I guess I can play the part"

"Good, that'll make it easier for me to play the hero I know I can be." Lucas said, heading out for the hero side.

Karen laughed back at the new girl, liking the joke for its originality. Despite the joke, she was still a mostly nice person at heart. Her smile was still as glorious as before, and almost as radiant as her hair. She bowed slightly before the girl, and offered her hand.
"You'll jus' 'ave ta ask nicely to find out. Name's Karen, but we can acquaint ourselves after th'fight. I'ma kick some hero ass." She jested at the new girl, before bowing and hurrying into the villain's side of the area. She listened to Ayn for a few moments before nodding along.
"Rrrrright... well this is my first gig, so I guess you gotta tell me where t'go. What's your quirk again?" Karen asked with a fair bit of curiosity. During all of this she still hadn't activated her quirk, so nobody except the new girl has seen her in it, and as such she'll use that as a surprise tactic when she faces the heroes.
