There was a moment where Luca had been conflicted, a split second where the reasonable part of him took over, and he had stopped to think about the bigger picture. This guy seemed way too meek to pull some demented crap like this, and maybe as a cover up it would be okay to start with that kinda attitude. But at this point, the jig was definitely up. There was almost no salvaging the situation so why would he persist if it wasn’t a ruse? He took a closer look at the invitation, and it was definitely similar to what they had gotten but he couldn’t get a good look with all the frantic yelling and waving it around. “Hey could ya keep it still for a sec so I could actually-” “Well, if the shoe fits”. Welp, there goes that.
“Oh now you’re just plain beggin’ for a beatdown ain’tcha!” Luca grabbed onto his Engine Fists, tightening his grip as smoke billowed from the sides of his mouth, filtering through gritted teeth like it was the exhaust. The mechanisms within the equipment roared with life, as it seemed that now the Junkdog was beyond reason, and off of his leash. Lunging forward with the animosity of a rabid dog, the hero student completely ignored the girl’s attempt at at least giving the mastermind something for his eulogy. Metal fists flew toward the anxious mastermind, a devastating straight coming from the right side with its target set on the chin, aiming to knock some teeth loose.

He wasn’t even supposed to be there. Though to be honest, when was he ever really allowed to be there? From what he was told the last time he got caught just moseying about the support labs, as a hero student he wasn’t allowed to come into the labs for ‘safety reasons’ without an accompanying teacher or student. It was like spit in the face for him all things considered! Like, he was a mechanic after all, he knew how to safely be around dangerous equipment. At this point, he knew the labs like the back of his hand from the amount of times he’s snuck in here himself! Even some of the more ‘shut-in’ upperclassmen had often confused him for an actual support student, and he’d used that far too many times now for it to prove effective. This time though wasn’t just to hang out, but to actually work on some blueprints in the place where it most likely to be created anyway. That was at least, before he heard the shouts for help.
As if a switch had been flipped in his brain, Luca took a quick breath, his mouth rumbling as his heart revved into action. There was an explosiveness to his movement as he rushed into the room where he could hear the call coming from, only to find one of the weirdest situations he’d ever seen: a disembodied scrap claw with a tight grip on a fellow student. “I gotcha dude! Don’t panic!” The hero student ran over to where the young man had been flailed around, jumping onto one of the chairs before leaping at the scrap metal claw and pushing the rusted switch in the opposite dungeon, turning it off before it could do any more damage to its victim and the lab. With a deep exhale and wiping of his forehead, Luca looked toward the support student with a confused look on his face. “Now how in the hell did that happen? Didja piss it off or something?”

Luca flexed his right arm and patted it with his left, all with a goofy looking grin on his face. “Oh you don’t need to worry about me! I’m super careful with delicate equipment like this.” As she was putting things away, Luca was catching as many glimpses as he could to see what she might’ve been working on. His eyes filled with the curiosity and excitement present in a child filled with wonder. He let his gloved finger run across the edges of the tables in the lab, taking note of the cleanliness of the space. With the support student’s somewhat clunky complement of his aspiration, the mechanic couldn’t help but chuckle as he took a seat in a nearby working stool, leaning on the table carefully so as not to disturb the order of the lab. “You don’t need a noble reason to do the right thing. So long as there’s love and care in your actions, no one can criticize.”
The hero student left the air dead for a moment as Aneko seemed to stumble over what to say next, her choice of pivot being commendable for someone who gave off the vibe that they doubted their social capability. As she pointed toward the high-grade equipment, Luca tilted his head a bit and squinted his eyes, making sure he wasn’t misidentifying any of the stuff that Aneko was pointing towards. Didn’t want to come off like a poser or nothin’ like that in case he didn’t know whatever stuff this fancy school had. “Ehhhh don’t think so. At least not those models. They’re worth an arm and a leg to be real with ya.” His eyes glided to the ceiling as he thought about the price of everything in here. It really was a privilege for anyone with a creative gift like theirs to even step foot in a place like this. He really wanted to be here as much as he could. “Cars and vehicles are the bigger things I’ve worked on. Smaller scale… is more like gadgets and other things like that. I know how to do really good grappling hooks! But when it comes to like the really cool stuff you all in the support department are leagues ahead of me. The best I can do to make your lives easier is just some blueprints. Like uhhh… my main gear was actually planned out by me! But… getting the whole thing together was handled by professionals.” Man, he was really starting to ramble wasn’t he?

Luca was somewhat bewildered at the extreme mixture of reactions coming from his landing, mainly after taking a second to actually look at the people he assumed were behind all of this insanity that he’d been experiencing and apparently been dragged into. Of the two in front of him, the girl was actually taller than him, and much more aggressive about the whole situation going on. The way she was talking was actually starting to convince even the hard-headed Luca, calming him down and directing his rage towards the white haired boy. He gritted his teeth at the idea of being some grunt, like a pawn in this idiot’s “creepy” plan. “Wait wait wait.”
He stepped closer towards the girl, the Engine Fists seeming to ‘power down’ as the gasoline in his bloodstream was no longer being pumped into the guantlets. “First off lady, I ain’t no friggin goon for this chump.” The right fist fell to the ground with a loud thump as he let go of it, digging into his pocket to reveal the note that he had gotten. “I kept getting this stupid thing everywhere I went, and was starting to get pissed that some asshat kept pulling this stunt. So I came here, planning to kick some ass.” Turning toward the boy, he cracked his before cracking his knuckles maliciously. “And I ain’t leaving ‘til I do just that!”

Luca was surprised at the interesting reaction of the mech-suited student, with their concern for his safety a bit confusing until he realized that this was a stranger, not a friend or faculty member who was aware of the interesting circumstances of his condition. Chuckling to himself, he placed the bottle down on the hood of the car, waving his hand in front of them as if to signal that everything was all good. “Oh shit sorry. I know it can be kind of confusing but it's like water to me.” Slapping his chest with his fist, Luca looked toward the head of the mechanical figure. “My quirk turned my heart into a hybrid engine, so my body requires and can process gasoline and electricity directly for energy.”
Stepping closer, Luca looked at the suit up and down, casually inspecting the make and design of the robot. Whistling with approval, he tapped the stomach area of the robot with his knuckle, making a light tink sound. “Since we’re in the Support Department I’m guessin’ that your robotic suit is something you made yourself? Or is it your quirk?”

Having been the target of bullying for most of his life, Luca knew a sketchy invitation when he saw one. This one seemed less threatening than the ones that he is normally used to, but that didn’t change its intention. The initial ones were usually written this way, as if to compel the perceived naivety of some unfortunate freshman to actually bother showing up with the promise of the meeting being legit. In the hero student’s experience though, it would always lead to someone ganging up on you, or trickingyou to do something illegal and recording it for blackmail. So what option did that leave him with? Ignoring it obviously. Tossing it in the trash, he went on with the rest of his day, only to find the same note appearing once again. And again. And again. Throughout each of the classes on his schedule, that damned note appeared, almost out of thin air. Now whoever was doing this was just messing with him, and they were gonna get a piece of his mind.
Since the meeting location was Ground Beta, Luca figured it’d be a good idea to bring his gear, just in case it turned into some kind of fight. Before he arrived in the simulation area, the hero student made sure to keep an eye out in case he would be able to notice any indication of a trap. So far though it seemed like everything was legit… too legit. Then, the young man spotted two people, who seemed to be idly chatting. Perfect, they were too occupied to notice him. He would show them what messing with him would do! Luca gritted his teeth as he tightened his grip on the Engine Fists, sparks flying from his mouth as his heart began to rev up. The gasoline passed through his veins and flooded towards his hands, as the Engine Fists too began to rumble with power. The hero student leaped over to where the two were, hitting the street beneath them with his Engine Fists, causing a small crater to form as the explosive power of his quirk and equipment shone through. His eyes glaring towards the two, he held up both middle fingers, as sparks flew from them like fireworks. “Which one of ya wants a piece of me first huh? Think ya can just threaten me with some bullshit note?!? I’ll kick your ass!”

Luca looked up at the administration building, what seemed to be a monolith where all of the juggernauts that put their faith in the next generation of heroes spent some of their time listening to idiotic requests like his and taking on the boring task of paperwork. He already knew that freaking out like this would only cause more problems, so decided to take a deep breathe before he even stepped foot in the building. The reason he was here was quite simple, to make a request of the support department, specifically that he be allowed to use their mechanical lab spaces freely without the presence of a support student or other faculty. Why did he need this? Well, after coming across multiple support students and finding enjoyment in just being in the support labs, he wanted to be able to spend more time there with permission. Of course, his proposal wasn’t so simple. It included references, mainly from that of his boss at Refactory, the auto shop he worked in as a testament to his skill and safety expertise when operating dangerous equipment. Featured was also a series of his own blueprints, this time actually following standard format, and the record of manufacturing from his main equipment, the Engine Fist.
“This should be more than enough. Right?” For the first time in a while, Luca was rather unsure. But he was already here, and the best thing to do now was to just get it over with. Making his way into the building, he was almost immediately questioned by the front desk lady, who wanted to know who he wanted to see and if he had an appointment. “Oh uh… an appointment? I didn’t know I needed one of those. I just checked the office hours and figured I’d be able to stop by?” The woman chastised Luca, making sure that he knew the importance of making sure to make an appointment or call ahead, but that she would still check to see if Professor Koizumi was available. Taking a seat near the front desk, Luca stared up at the ceiling; defeated. “I really hope this doesn’t suck.”

Luca was drowning in anticipation, his eyes firmly tracking Aneko as she mulled over what to do. It wouldn't be the end of the world if she said no, but it would be awesome if she agreed. His eyes widened as he waited for her response, and when he finally said yes he literally fist pumped. Realizing how ridiculous (or cringey) that might've looked, he chuckled and bowed his head slightly. "Sorry 'bout that! Just really happy ya didn't turn me down."
When Aneko mentioned that he should be careful, he scoffed, a slight smirk appearing on his face as he crossed his arms. With a bit of an overly sarcastic tone, he stepped inside the lab. "Whaddya take me for some kinda newbie? Cut me some slack!" Looking around, he was even more amazed at all of the stuff that was within reach for the support department. This wasn't just top of the line equipment, it was the kind of equipment that made legendary gear for super famous heroes. Just as the reality of all that was starting to hit, his new friend(?) asked the question. His arms fell to his sides, and his usual bright and cheerful face had lost some of its luster. "I grew up in the muck. No one really paid attention to my family or helped us out so we made do best we could. My little brother looks up to me, always chasing my back. I wanna give him, and all the other kids who grew up in the muck something to chase after. Sorry if it's a little sappy.."

Luca was on edge as he laid below the underside of his car, the familiar cushioning of the car creeper giving him some sense of ease as he inspected his prized possession. While this would normally be a walk in the park for the off duty Mechanic, the space he was using wasn't somewhere he was exactly allowed to be. After Aneko kinda tipped him off about not really being allowed to use the space or even really be here without a person from the support department accompanying you, Luca made the safe bet to just be here… without getting caught!
It had been working for him so far, especially since he only used the open spaces, and even brought in his own equipment rather than using the department's. But that didn't ease the anxiety he began to develop. One way or another, he'd have to either get explicit permission, or say goodbye to the support labs. Before he could process the thought, he could hear the sound of what appeared to be a robot suit approaching. Sliding out from the undercarriage, Luca looked up at this giant robot suit, and was even more surprised once he heard a voice coming from it. "I mean yeah sure knock yourself out! But be gentle with her. She's still a work in progress and I've got a lot of love for this beaut." Getting onto his feet and picking up his bottle along the way, the hero student took a swig of diesel. "I'm guessing you need to use the space? I can clear out if ya want. I'm practically done already anyway."

Luca was not the type to be socially awkward, with his ability to keep a conversation going and somehow endless yet random stream of consciousness preventing that from happening. But here, at this junction, for a moment his attention was absorbed by what little he could see of the support lab behind what was to him an obstacle in his path. His eyes traced the space, scanning past the young woman that stood in front of him, even smiling at all of the cool stuff he could get a glimpse of. But almost like a slap to ol’ chrome dome, his attention snapped back to the student in front of him, and he scoffed at himself, starting to laugh a little bit. “Shit.. sorry my brain just locked in on all the cool stuff you have back there for a sec.” He rubbed the back of his neck, actually having to think of a quick way to get past this bump in the road. “I uhh hope ya don’t think I was ignoring you! I’m actually not a part of the support department. I came to UA for Heroics but.. I’m a mechanic in my off time so stuff like this is really cool to me.”
Luca reaches out with his hand not for a shake but for a fist bump. “Name’s Luca, Itadori Luca. Hope I’m not being a bother but it seems like you could use either some help or some company? Mind if I rubber duck for ya?” He leans back for a moment, peering down the halls of the support labs, like he was looking out for someone. “Maybe even give me a tour later if youre cool with it?”

Luca was surprised at the sheepishness of his new companion Rin, giving her a befuddled look as she bowed to him so formally, even with her hands in front of her as if she had been apologizing for some grand injustice. Without thinking he raised his hands in protest, waving them for a bit as if to signal that whatever she was doing was completely unnecessary. “Hey! Ya don’t have to bow like that ya know! I’m not some big shot!” The young man couldn’t help but rub the back of his neck, thinking back to his days in highschool when the younger kids would always react like this when they would accidentally bump into him, or even look his way if he looked like he was in a bad mood. “Name’s Luca, Itadori Luca.” His hand shifted from the back of his neck to his hair as he lowered his head and scratched it relentlessly, as if there was something that horribly itched.
“Now I’m not gonna lie to ya Rin, I honestly just wanted to try and have a good time in Shibuya. I thought it’d be lame to go by myself, so I just kinda grabbed the first person who said sure!” Lifting his head back up, Luca’s eyes wandered the bustling Shibuya Crossing, the large buildings meant for both corporations and entertainment a wonder to the hero student’s eyes. “I would’ve taken my car, but I’m still waiting on a fresh set of shocks to arrive before I take her out. But man would it have been better than taking the train. I mean cmon like, basic hygiene amiright?” He turned back to face Rin, hands shoved into his pockets as he takes a step closer. “Anyway, since we’re here. Where do ya think we should go first? Music store? Collector’s Store? I mean I heard there was an awesome arcade around here too! We could even grab some grub. Don’t know about you but I. am. Starving!”

Luca looked puzzled at the map in the campus grounds, with it appearing more like an array of shapes and colors to his eyes than a refined method of telling where he was and where he needed to go. Maybe if he took it one step at a time, breaking down the process it would be easier for him. Rather than getting right to that, though, he took the time to curse his attention span, knowing full well that if he paid full attention during the orientation tour that he would have a better sense of direction. Now he definitely looked like a freshman, completely unaware of his surroundings. Scratching his cheek as he stared at the map, Luca traced his finger along the map to the ‘You are here’ symbol. Redundantly, it showed that he was at the center of the campus grounds, as if he didn’t know that already. Tracing the map with his fingers again, imagining himself walking down the path towards the support labs. “Oh now that makes sense!” Luca snapped his finger, happy that he made some progress. Now it was just onward to his desired destination.
After some minutes passed walking through the campus grounds and into the classroom buildings, he had finally arrived at the support department. Though he was a hero student, as a mechanic, he was fascinated by all of the latest hardware and machines that they had at their disposal to create equipment not just for heroes, but also for the everyday citizen. The stuff that they had here made the auto shop he worked at look like a chop shop. Aimlessly wandering the different open labs, one in particular caught his eye. Though it wasn’t an open plan where he could peer in, the sounds of familiar machinery called out to him, almost begging him to knock on the door.

‘This stop is… Shibuya Station.’ With the sound of the intercom on their train going off, the mass of people that were once packed into the train spilled out into the underground station, with Luca and his new friend stuck in the center of the mass once again, this time with a little more air to breathe. The young man took a moment to bend down, basically throwing his hands on his knees and mimicking the sound of throwing up. “Ugh… finally. I swear there was some sweaty guy who totally reeked in there. If the train was any slower I might’ve hurled.” Shaking his head, he steeled himself, for their commute to Shibuya was not yet finished. He guided himself and his new friend through the underground shopping mall, passing by all of the ads, merchants, and vending machines littered throughout the large station. Luckily for them, the red eyed hero student had spent a lot of his time ducking under and bobbing around the extensive set of cars and parts in the autoshop he worked at, so making his way through a crowd of people and some building additions was no problem. “Can’t believe this isn’t even the worst this place is supposed to be. How many more people can they fit in one station? Yeesh.”
Once they were finally out of the underground station and embracing the fresh air at Shibuya Crossing, Luca finally asked the important question. “So uh…. What’s your name anyway? I kinda just dragged ya along but I didn’t even ask who ya were!”
