[How could she forget? She'd given her best effort but still come up short. The memory still stung despite all the hard work she'd done trying to improve since then. Maybe she wasn't a particularly prideful person, but that didn't make losing any easier to handle. Not when so much was on the line.
Nevertheless, she crouched close to the ground just like she had back then. Now she just had to worry about whether Bakugou would send up so much debris that her weight limit couldn't handle it. Or that the ones further back wouldn't try to disperse and surround them at the sides, which as it turned out, was a much more immediate problem.]
There's at the sides too!
[There were only one or two on her side though, so maybe she could handle this--no, she had to! At the very least, she had to try! She was close to the case and she didn't look as threatening as Bakugou, so it was entirely likely that the thugs didn't see her as much of a threat, but she was about to prove her own strength right then and there. Her heart was pounding as the thug with the knife came at her, but she stood up on her feet at repeated the steps in her head. First pivot, disappear, grab...and this time, throw! With that, she sent her attacker careening into another, knocking them over like errant bowling pins.
Ochaco put her fingertips together and let herself breathe. She really would have been in trouble if she couldn't throw him otherwise.]
