A day off

UA gave everyone the day off after what had happened at the USJ. Most of everyone had gone home and relaxed. I had decided to visit Jess, she still had her own school to attend. She went to a normal and very ordinary school. It was one of those old district building that students attended before the development of quirks. Since she still had school I had just hung out near field playing games on my phone.

Ultimately I had learned I could charge my own phone if I was careful. If I put to much electricity into it though it just stuttered and turned off. At least it was smoking or on fire, just turned off. Which lead me to no longer play games on my phone which kind of sucked. I could always fill my time with practicing with my abilities. So it wasn't slow or anything.

About half way through waiting I saw some people go out towards a bunch of bleachers. It was a group of six, I noted that only two of them were guys and that they looked like the ironically standard delinquent. Dyed hair, a rough face, kind of ugly. They likely were out there to smoke or something. I could be the up right citizen and stop them since they were technically doing something bad....

But I mean they don't really seem worth it. So I just stayed where I was watching them. At least i was going to just watch them. Until I saw the person i was waiting for run over with her arm full of unhealthy snacks. Putting it together I figured the newly freshman Jess didn't have many friends in school. Specially after the shit show that happened to our previous class. This group of hoodlums had learned of Jess's gas station job likely while buying something for themselves. After that the timid Jess had been pushed into a position where she was a gofer, likely with the pretext of them being her friends.

Now I had to get involved simply because it seems happenstance or what not had gotten Jess involved. Telling that I promised to protect Jess, I couldn't leave her being so blatantly taken advantage of. I got up and walked over to the group.

As i was walking up I could here the group talking. "Jess! What took you so long? You didn't drop anything this time right?"

"Yeah Shaken Soda is totes gross!"

"Who's he?"

As the girls were taking the snacks and such from Jess the boys were staring at me. "Hey Jess, are these your friends?" Jess turned and practically dropped the stuff shew was holding and ran into me. I hugged Jess back and patted her soft head. The group had stared at me lining up and picking up the stuff Jess dropped.

Jess looked up to my face and I saw a few emotions flash through her. "What are you doing here Des?" "Well UA gave my class the day of due to a...hiccup and i figured I would wait till you get out of school. I saw you run out here though and I figured to see what's up." I glared back at the group.

"So you're like Jess's boyfriend or something?"

I grabbed Jess and lifted her putting her behind me. "Yeah you could certainly say that, what about you? What's your relationship with her?"

The girl that talked in the most annoying fake accent ever continued talking for the group. "We are like her friends, same classes and whatever." The boys spoke almost immediately after, "You said UA gave you the day off? So Jess got herself a hero for a boyfriend?" "Yeah like her white knight?"

Jess looked at me, I could see the panic and fear she had. She was definitely afraid of these guys. The entire group of six was filled with all kinds of hostility and smugness. I rolled my eyes and grabbed Jess's hand. I could feel her heat up, "Jess?"

"Huh? Yeah?" "These aren't actually your friends right?"

"Tch, we are totes friends, right Jess?" I stared at the blonde headed bimbo who spoke up. She shrunk back slightly. "I don't recall asking you?" Jess had gripped my hand tighter. "I'm fine Des...They aren't like her."

Jess was so innocent and I could only roll my eyes. Rubbing her head and smiling she had smiled back. "You know what! You aren't like a student here. We will tell like the teachers."

"Imma punch them Jess." She frowned, "If you must..." She looked down and I was about to turn around, but I smiled when I heard Jess. "*Get my money back.*"

At the same time I heard Jess's words one of the two boys had taken a swing at me. I didn't move, I didn't even flinch. I let his fist connect and do nothing to me. "Wha?"

"Man, you are weak my guy. Here let me show you how to punch." I struck him in the same cheek he had punched me. Except my punch had left him knocked out and with what felt like something broken.

Jess had taken a few steps back and was...Bouncing?

------Jess pov------

Was it wrong to accept being this group's gofer for the purpose of wanting to see Des beat them up? I mean it was the right thing to do in a twisted way. I hadn't really seen Des fight, but it was glorious!

It took only one punch to knock out the bastard. He had been so big to me, but Des was stronger. Not to mention he was doing it for me! I could literally scream with excitement! I felt so giddy watching Des.

He had turned to look at me! If I could only vocalize my feelings! His smile made me into puddy! "*Oooooo, strike them out Des!*"

I shouldn't purposely get myself in trouble like this, but if getting bullied meant Destiny coming to my rescue I would do it again. I was originally planning on asking these bastards if I could call Destiny to play when i was working. I never imagined I would get a chance to see Destiny beat them up at school!

"Look those two dummies aren't with us normally and we really are Jessica's friends!"

The blonde bitch didn't even know my real name. Assuming Jess was short for Jessica, but don't you know! Des grabbed her around the throat. He could snap her in half! I could feel myself jiggle as I danced in joy. I would most certainly need Des to carry me due to my body melting. He could hold me and we head off to the nurses office and hold hands!

"You know her name is Jessabelle right? Not Jessica, you would know that if you were her friend."

That was slightly wrong of Des, but that was okay. I wouldn't tell anyone my full name anyway, I never liked it. Except unless Destiny wanted to call me that! I was just about to cheer some more, but I knife had pressed against my neck...

"Let her go or your girl gets it!"

I likely wouldn't be hurt to badly if he stabbed me since i was melting. Only blunt objects really hurt when I was more slime then girl. Except I wasn't gonna waste this opportunity! Tears formed in my eyes and I started shaking.

"Dethiny I'm Scared!" My sticky tongue adding to the effect I could see the anger in Destiny's eyes! What an opportunity! Though...i really was scared, a knife may not hurt me badly. But the pain would still be there and I really didn't want to pee myself.

Destiny dropped the blonde bitch and stared at the guy behind me. I thought he was gonna punch him or something, but Destiny's eyes were glowing! Next thing I knew the guy was blasted away and Des was holding me again.

------This and the next chapter are more or less Jess chapters. This one will immediately lead into the next with the MC carrying away Jess.----
