Clearing Her Name! The Real Tomikoa Muteki!

There was one thought plaguing my mind all day at school today, how in the hell was I supposed to clear Tomikoa's name? After school was over, I made my way to Tomikoa's before heading to the Pussycats' Agency, hopefully she was still home. I knocked on her door and her father answered.

"O-Oh, Braveheart, what brings you here?" He asked.

"I'm here to talk to your daughter, I'm sure she's told you everything, yes?" I replied.

He simply nodded and let me inside. I guess he was surprised to see me standing at his front door. He led me to her room, right before I touched the doorknob, her father grabbed my arm.

"Please, don't hurt her." He muttered.

"I'm not here to hurt her, I promise, I'm only here to talk." I reassured him.

He let go of my arm and I walked into her room.

"Huh? W-What are you doing here?" Tomikoa questioned.

"Well, for starters, I figured you'd want to head with me to my Work-Study. If we're gonna clear your name, we gotta start somewhere. Do you still have your hero costume?" I responded.

She shook her head; I didn't realize that she was such a shy, quiet person! Every question I asked her she didn't look at me but she either nodded her shook her head slightly. She walked over to her closet and found her hero costume.

"Well, I'll be waiting outside while you-" I tried to say.

"Wait! I... I feel comfortable with you..." She softly interrupted.

I tilted my head, "Huh?"

She looked at me then back to her hero costume. I closed my eyes and covered them with both hands as I faced her door.

"Okay, I'll stay in here, but I'm not looking. It's immoral for me to watch a woman undress unless they've given me permission. Also, I just think that it's rude to do so." I told her.

I stood there for a few minutes before I heard her walk over to me.

"I'm ready." Tomikoa replied.

I nodded and we took off towards the Pussycats' Agency. I guess I couldn't exactly be late to my Work-Study, I mean, it is quite a ways away from here.

[25 Minutes Later...]

We landed in front of the agency building, Tomikoa had a rather peculiar look on her face. Ragdoll greeted us as we walked inside, I explained the entire situation to her.

"Goodness, that sounds rather wacky! So, it affected her as well?" Ragdoll restated.

"Yeah, I guess those rifts appeared a lot sooner than what we were thinking. Who knows what else landed here or is somewhere else!" I responded.

After that brief meeting with Ragdoll, Tomikoa and I made our way up to the ski lodge. Which, not to my surprise, people were freaking out as they saw Tomikoa. Mandalay hopped over the top floor banister and got into a fighting stance. Tomikoa grabbed my arm and hid behind me.

"Hey, it's alright! This isn't who you're thinking! Well... It is but it's complicated." I reassured Mandalay.

The rest of the Pussycats came down and calmed the lodge goers down. I explained to them Tomikoa's situation and told them about what happened to me.

"Woah, this is all so strange. You're saying that a baby is responsible for all of this? If that kid has a powerful Quirk already, how many other children have something similar?" Pixie-Bob wondered.

Mandalay stepped forward, "Well, she seems rather fond of you. I'm glad she's on our side this time."

"Yeah, she doesn't talk too much though, she's rather quiet." I told her.

I lifted my arm up and she went with it. I was still honestly trying to get used to our Tomikoa, I wonder if the one locked up in Tartarus is still there? I set her back down on the ground.

"So, I was wondering if you guys could help me out. People think she's a bad person because of what that other Tomikoa did in Shizuoka. I'm trying everything I can to at least clear her name." I asked.

Mandalay smiled at me, "Well, being that you've done us a favor yesterday, we'll help you out. We honestly need the extra help!"

I looked down at Tomikoa and she nodded. I'm already super excited to work with her!

[Several Hours Later...]

After helping people out, and reassuring them that Tomikoa isn't a threat, I took her home before heading back to the dorms. I tried to open the front door but it was locked.

"Oh, my parents usually lock the house up around this time before they go to bed." Tomikoa informed me.

I nodded, "Well, let's go around back then. You've got a window in your room, right?"

"Y-Yeah..." She replied.

We walked behind the house and Tomikoa held onto me as I flew up to her window. Then, I remembered something.

"Oh, silly me, why didn't I think of that before!" I laughed.

Tomikoa looked confused, but I'm sure her question was answered when I used Overdrive: Breakdown to head inside. She let go of me and I turned around towards her window.

"Well, thank you for helping me out today, I really appreciated it." I smiled.

I opened her window and she grabbed the back of my hero costume, "W-Wait!"

"Hm? What's wrong?" I asked.

"C-Can you... Stay with me tonight?" Tomikoa wondered.

I could tell that she was still feeling shitty about this whole situation. I activated Mode One to contact Momo.

"Hey, I won't be home tonight, Kariya and Mom want me to help them remodel a part of the training room. So, I'll be staying overnight." I told her.

"Okay! As long as you aren't running off doing god knows what with Hawks, that's fine!" Momo replied.

I deactivated my Quirk, "Alright, I can stay with you."

Her bleak demeanor lightened up a bit. I hit my watch with retracted my hero costume into it. I'm glad I wear sweatpants underneath, so I'm ready for bed pretty much anytime! I yawned and stretched as I walked over towards her bed.

"Is there a specific spot you want me to sleep? I don't mind sleeping on the floor." I questioned.

She walked over, climbed into her bed and lifted the blanket up, "Here is fine."

I nodded and laid down next to her. I never thought I'd be going to bed around the same time Bakugo does. I turned away from her and tried to get some shut eye.

"A-Alyx..." I heard Tomikoa mutter.

I turned over, she had her arms outstretched, eyes closed, and her face was red as red can be! Was she nervous or something? I sighed and smiled slightly.

"Good grief..." I muttered.

I moved closer to her and put my arms around her. At this point, I feel like I should start some sort of rental cuddle business, if that doesn't exist already. I can just imagine it now...

[Rent-A-Cuddle Alyx?]

"How much is it for cuddles again?" Kendo asked.

"About ¥200 up front plus any additional fees that may or may not be required." I replied.

"Alright! Here you go!" Kendo smiled.

[Back to Reality... There Goes Gravity...]

Yeah, maybe if I somehow manage to not become a Pro Hero, that'd be plan B.

[The Next Morning...]

I woke up and saw that Tomikoa was already awake. I sat up to rub the sleepies out of my eyes.

"Good morning." Tomikoa greeted.

I nodded at her, "Morning."

I noticed that she had my school uniform neatly placed alongside her bed. Did she iron them while I was sleeping? My earrings and contacts were also placed on a table next to me. Tomikoa placed down a tray of food on my lap! Steamed rice, miso soup, grilled fish, and some other things.

"Oh, thank you!" I beamed.

She nodded and softly smiled. After breakfast, I got around for school, I can thank my internal clock for getting me up on time! I waved goodbye to Tomikoa as I left for U.A. I wonder what I'd be doing today?

[15 Minutes Later...]

While all of us waited for Mr. Aizawa, I decided to review my notes on those "Quirk Gods." Ever since that test, I've still been feeling that cold feeling all throughout my body. Thankfully, I overheard Mina talking about us heading to Gym Gamma to work on ultimate moves. Mr. Aizawa slid open the classroom door.

"Everyone, put on your hero costumes and follow me. We'll be heading to Gym Gamma." Mr. Aizawa told us.

"Boom! I told you!" Mina boasted.

I got up and walked out of the room with everyone else.

"Darling, hold on!" Momo called out.

I stopped and reentered the room, "Oh, sorry! I guess I was in a world of my own there."

I helped her pack her things in her bag.

"So, how'd the remodeling go?" She asked.

"It went rather well! They just wanted me to help get the new padding down on the floor. I did some training with Kariya as well, which was honestly really fun!" I responded.

We walked out of the classroom and I held her hand. I let go of it briefly and looked down at my watch.

"Oh? Is something wrong?" Momo wondered.

"No, not at all. I just gotta do this real quick!" I replied.

I tapped my watch and my hero costume came out and my school uniform went in it. I held her hand once more.

"Well talk about innovative! I'm assuming Dr. Shield and his daughter made that for you?" Momo smiled.

I showed her it, "Yep! I'm not too sure on the specifics but it's rather neat!"

We made our way to Gym Gamma, Mina was right, we were doing ultimate move training! I wasn't going to do that for today though, all that Quirk God stuff has me interested! After hearing Kaminari shout at Sero about stealing his property, I found a spot that I could be alone at. I don't think I can force myself into it. I activated Infinite Mode and took my deep breaths in and out.

"Hey! Midoriya! Watch out!" I heard Kirishima shout.

I turned my head and saw Mina's Acid Quirk come flying at him! My body acted on its own and my arm shot out, it lit up a neon blue and fired a wave that created some sort of shield around Deku. Everyone looked at me and I looked at my arm. It looked like my arm was completely comprised of nothing but energy!

"Holy... Shit...!" I muttered.

The light from my arm faded away. Was that...?

"Well, whatever that was, it was super awesome!" Mina shouted.

There that feeling was again, the coldness, it was mainly in my arm. I'm starting to think that maybe this feeling in my entire body is there for a reason.
