the bag containing the rope and the gift he got for Eri."Your name is Gentle Criminal right?" The quirk stealer pointed at the tall one."And you.Your the camera person right?I don't think I've ever seen you in one of his videos but I do recognize your voice."
"Impressive intuition boy, and it truly warms my heart to run into a fan but I have no time for a meet and greet." Gentle and Labrava both ripped the remainder of their costumes off."LABRAVA WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T LET THAT CAMERA STOP ROLLING!"
"You don't gotta do this, I'm currently kind of busy right now.Seriously just go home, I'll look the other way.I know your not really evil." Izuku pleaded with the man.
"I'm afraid young lad that my ideals are not so easily brushed under the rug." Gentle then turned to the camera."VIEWERS!BEHOLD, the dawning of a daring knaves journey!Keep your dazzled eyes on the screen, for it is I, your saviour and gentlemen scoundrel ... GENTLE CRIMINAL!"
"Alright, just remember I tried to do this the nice way." Izuku quickly activated Muscular and shot himself towards the villain with Galeforce.Izuku's outstretched fist was inches from the man's face when it suddenly started bending against something, soon his whole body was being squished against some kind of bouncy surface."Wha-
"Dear viewers it seems I've run into a dilemma on my latest caper you no doubt recognize this boy before me.In light of these events I've renamed this video, ... 'I TRIED INVADING U.A.'" Gentle gave a flourish to the camera.
"So cool Gentle!" Labrava gave her lover a thumbs up.
"And you my boy have fallen for my quirk, Elasticity!While removing my cloak I took the liberty of activating it as you can see.My dear followers already know this but anything in my field of vision can be given elasticity, even the AIR itself.GENTLY REBOUND!" Gently shouted.
Izuku was suddenly flung backwards with intense force, what a strange quirk.Is the power of the rebound increased based on the amount of pressure exerted upon the elastic object?Is there a limit?If not, that's like the perfect shield and counter at the same time.Truly, ... an amazing quirk, Kuroe was hungry and Izuku could feel it.His quirk/dog was rearing back ready to pounce the second Izuku made contact with the man.
"Um ... that was ridiculously violent, Gentle ..." Labrava stared in awe.
"He simply ... caught me off guard Labrava, what speed and power though.His mild mannered looks belie the ferociousness beneath." Gentle turned and bolted with Labrava."A thousand pardons but this gentleman thief is not quite ready to be caught young lad."
Izuku wearily stood, even if muscular acted like a form of armor that still hurt like a bitch.He didn't have his actual armor to cushion any of the blows like he normally did.He dusted himself off taking stock of the potentially useful quirks, he'd already used Warp Gate once so he could probably get away with one more and still not start leaking too much blood.With Recovery Girl denying him transfusions for overusing the quirk he wanted to keep that as a last resort.That left him with Tempo to dodge the rubber barriers, Galeforce for speed, Muscular for raw strength, Kuroe to remove his opponents quirk, and maybe he could trip him up with Confession?Izuku had a funny idea with the quirk, what if he forced someone to say every word they knew?They'd probably run out of breath incredibly fast, Izuku chuckled at the idea.
"Whelp sitting here isn't going to do me any good." Izuku gave a brief stretch before reactivating his quirks."HERE I COME GENTLE AND LABRAVA!" Izuku shot at his opponents like a bullet, seriously Muscular's quirk is ridiculous, strength able to overwhelm multiple 100% smashes from Momo, who is stronger than All Might when she uses that power.All for One really shouldn't have let him steal this quirk.
Gentle Criminal turned as he and Labrava were bouncing through the sky, a mistake he would come to regret."HERE COMES THE BOY LABRAVA!" Seriously of all the people who had to find him before his mission it had to be this kid Danjuro Tobita lamented.
"If your going to apologize you could simply give up!" Izuku shouted at the pair as he flew after them.
"A request I'm afraid I'm unable to acquiesce dear boy.GENTLY TRAMPOLINE!" Gentle created a barrier directly behind him again, the boy however zoomed right around it and kept coming.However that was not the point, Gentle and Labrava jumped into the trampoline before launching themselves into the sky out of the boy's current reach."I too put great effort into school functions during my days as a student, I have no doubt that your heart is in this ... yet it cannot compare to my beard and soul!"
"You're so cool Gentle!" Labrava was holding onto the man's coat for dear life, thankful for her short stature for once.
Izuku cursed under his breath as they went flying towards what looked like a construction site."Ugh this is too powerful to use in a populated area he lamented." Compression a weapon Izuku discovered with Water Cutter, he'd finally applied it to Galeforce, combine that with his Quirk Enhancer and it truly created something spectacular.However dropping that much power around here would no doubt destroy a house or two.Instead he opted for 150 mph wind and quickly zoomed after his foes."Just give up I don't want to hurt you, and your really starting to test my patience on that regard!" Izuku shouted as he gained on them.
"That's the kid the League of Villains kidnapped Gentle, we don't want him to get serious with us.He blew his arm off to win a fight for crying out loud!" Labrava shuddered when she remembered the rampage the boy went on at Jakku.
"I know Labrava, we shall do our best to lose his trail but it seems that may be a bit more difficult than I intended, who knows how many quirks he's currently in possession of." Gentle lamented as they kept jumping from rubber wall to rubber wall."Maybe we can lose him here."
"That's it, I've grown tired of this, AIR SHOT!" Izuku shouted as he fired a few bullets at Gentle and Labrava, this cost him a bit of speed however as the counter thrust slowed him briefly.
"GAH!" Gentle shouted as he fell from the air towards the floor, he quickly grabbed Labrava and used his body as a shield before making the concrete elastic bouncing the pair straight back up and into the construction sight.A bit of a rough landing all things considered but they'd made it to their goal."Labrava things are about to get dicey in here, go hide for a bit."
"You got it Gentle!" The girl gave a thumbs up before finding a good spot to keep recording from.
Gentle didn't even turn as he heard a thud behind him."I see the hero has arrived.Indeed I was not prepared for my daring caper to become a time trial but here we are.If you are going to stand between me and my goal hero then I have no choice but to stop you."
Izuku having grown a tad bit irritated with this morning seriously, he can't even buy rope without running into a villain, activated confession."Why are you attacking U.A.?"
A strange compulsion washed over Gentle Criminal and his mouth opened before he could stop himself."It is no attack, I will simply prove to the heroes that they're defenses are lacking and then depart after enjoying the festival a bit for myself." Danjuro slapped his hands over his mouth, when nothing else came out he spoke."What a strange quirk you possess, but do you really think you can stop me with mere words?No, a true gentleman's resolve cannot be shaken so easily.Do not doubt even for a second Izuku Midoriya that I will see my plan through, I will prove to the world my dream is possible! ... However I too do not wish to resort to violence when it is unnecessary, will you not turn a blind eye young man?"
That made Izuku pause, Gentle didn't want to hurt anyone, he just wanted to make a name for himself."You do gotta realize were on high alert, you'll never make it even if I let you go, Hound Dog would no doubt catch you, and even if he didn't the security would detect you just as quickly."
'That's great Gentle keep appealing to his good side, show the world how just you are.' Labrava was squealing from her hiding spot.
Danjuro was ecstatic maybe negotiations were on the table after all."You see the security will not be a problem, my associate will deactivate it with a computer program she made just for the occasion, as for Hound Dog we have a plan for that as well.I get to go and make my video and your festival gets to continue, is that not what is called a win-win?"
"What could possibly stop his scent?" Izuku lowered his fist.
"MUD!" Gently exclaimed.
That just made Izuku deadpan for an entirely different reason.
"Now you know my plan, I wish to get going before the matter gets more complicated than it is and the taste of that delicious tea leaves my tongue.So will you not let us pass?" Tobita asked.
Izuku pondered for a second, no he couldn't let him."Sorry but I just can't take that risk."
"Tsk a shame, it seems we shan't come eye to eye.Then before the taste of Golden Tips Imperial dissipates I shall defeat you U.A. boy!" Gentle suddenly started bouncing up and down on location clearly prepping some kind of attack.
Izuku activated Tempo and charged, making sure to watch for the sheen of those rubber walls.He was also quickly cycling between visions but none of them could see the stuff, it was worth a try at least.The man started bouncing between girders like how Gran Torino fought.He raised both his hands peppering the area with Air Bullets but there were rubber walls lining the place, he must've been creating them as they spoke.This is a really annoying quirk he thought as a few of his Air Bullets got reflected back at him, they did no serious damage however.
Gentle laughed as he charged the boy landing a fist to the back knee."You've never fought someone such as I, have you?"
Unfortunately he had, but this quirk was way more annoying then someone with Jet Feet, Izuku stumbled against the blow."GAH YOU ASKED FOR IT!MAX FORCE: HURRICANE DESTRUCTION!" Izuku ramped up both hands to max power and spread adding the Quirk Enhancer to Galeforce unleashing what could only be described as a hurricane multiplied by a tornado to the people who experienced it.He slammed his fists into the floor causing the wind to spread out in an explosive manner.Sure some of the wind rebounded at Izuku but he was holding himself in place with muscle fibers.
Labrava was blown away from her hiding place as the area basically exploded from the sheer force of the power being exerted, thankfully Gentle caught her from the girder he was hiding behind."I TOLD YOU NOT TO PISS HIM OFF GENTLEEEEEEEE!"
"I'M AWARE LABRAVA BUT THIS WAS A CALCULATED MEASURE!" The pairs shout barely heard over the howling wind.Eventually it subsided which they both greatly appreciated.
Izuku admired the destruction he caused, he felt a tad guilty for throwing all the stuff about that he did but hopefully that showing of raw power would cause them both to surrender."Well?Willing to give up now?"
"AHAH YOU'D THINK I WOULD BUT FIRST THERE'S SOMETHING I MUST TELL YOU!You see!My quirk cannot be undone by my will, rather an object that's been affected by my quirk will slowly return to normal.In the meantime, as the girders regain their typical hardness it retains that springy motion.What's more while I was jumping about I was removing bolts from all the girders, combine that with the sheer power you just exerted and I think you can get what I'm saying." Gentle gestured to all the girders precariously bouncing back and forth in place, a strained creak coming from all of them.
Izuku took a second to admire what the man was implying."Shit."
"As a U.A. student you couldn't possibly ignore something this dangerous could you?" Gentle gestured to a grouping of civilians down below who'd come to witness whatever was going on.
'DAMN IT, I DIDN'T WANT TO USE THIS BECAUSE I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH WITH IT YET!' "OVERHAUL PLUS QUIRK ENHANCEMENT!" Izuku slammed his fists into the ground attempting to destroy all of the girders and remake them instantly.The act caused his right hand to break again, which while would be fixed soon enough hurt like a bitch.Izuku just hoped the speed and range boost caused by the quirk enhancement would be enough.Izuku activated Snapshot as the destructive wave spread letting him take in all the sights, the metal shrapnel, the shocked expression of the villains, the crowd's panic, the way Overhaul snaked out of his body, the cracking and groaning of metal as it exploded.It wasn't much longer before people started to scream, but just as quickly as the explosion went out did everything instantly return to normal.
Izuku huffed as Snapshot ended and the migraine set in, he examined his broken right hand, his body couldn't handle this level of quirk usage for much longer."GENTLE GIVE UP!YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED!" He remade his right hand as he screamed at the man hoping he'd just give up.
"Heaven's no, I knew you'd save the people down there, just like a hero. ... However I'll admit I did not anticipate the manner in which you did it but that doesn't matter.With this, we'll be off!" Gentle shouted as the crane they were on suddenly launched the pair forward as a rope was cut.
Literally a trebuchet Izuku realized, god he hated that Elasticity quirk."Folks it's okay I'm a hero with a license, they're villains, go home!" Izuku quickly shouted before ordering the crowd off, Izuku's had enough playing nice.He scanned his targets with Zoom and Dark Vision, he was ending this, now.He waited for the pair to land before opening a portal directly in front of them, they now stood in the lesser used part of U.A.'s forest."Alright I'm done playing nice, Gentle Criminal Surrender or I will start using real force."
The man just gritted his teeth, of course he couldn't shake this boy."Persistent aren't you? ... Labrava do it!"
"Gentle but we usually reserve that to run away!" Labrava panically shouted.
"There's no choice Labrava, this child is too strong for anything less than our best."
"O-okay Gentle.I LOVE YOU!" Aiba poured everything she had into this confession.
Gentle felt the familiar power running through him, ah it felt good."I don't like doing things this way, it's far too brutish for my tastes.But it's proof of Labrava's love for me, her gift, how could I ever deny that.Together we will defeat you and realize our dreams!" Gentle screamed in rage, his brow furrowed and Izuku thought the man had just juiced or something because his muscles started bulging."This is my acknowledgment of your power, you've driven me to this Izuku Midoriya!"
Izuku shook the pain away from his head, a nose bleed was about to come on, a migraine from hell was clouding his head, his eyes were burning from the stress, and that staticy feeling returned.All in all he felt like absolute shit, and he still needed to use his quirks for the concert."Then I'll meet your best with all the fruits of my labor, every villain I've overcome, every power I've stolen.Proof of my victories, proof of my drive to never give up!" Izuku shouted back at the man."MUSCULAR 100% PLUS QUIRK ENHANCEMENT." Izuku screamed as his muscle fibers roared to life, electricity cackling between them.
The first to make a move was Gentle as he started putting up rubber barriers everywhere before launching himself into the sky."GENTLY SANDWICH!" The man shouted as 8 or 9 of those rubber walls suddenly slammed down onto Izuku, he tried to repel them with Galeforce but they seemed truly unbreakable.Instead he sidestepped the attack and jumped into the air after Gentle Criminal, he started analyzing the position of the other rubber walls then fired a few air bullets rebounding them into the man's side.Izuku was startled when the man just ate the bullets head on and jumped from the barrier he was on towards him.Those put him down earlier so that girl's quirk must increase his defensive capabilities as well.
In this slowed down world Izuku reacted and grabbed at the man only for another rubber wall to appear in front of him blocking his chance at ending the fight outright.Instead Gentle jumped back and ripped a tree out of the ground and swung it at him, Izuku reacted appropriately grabbing it as the two engaged in a power struggle.However the floor below him suddenly turned elastic causing Izuku to stumble a bit losing his grip on the tree, it felt like walking on a water bed.
Gentle swung the tree down at the now distracted Izuku."GENTLY PUMMEL!"
Getting slightly more irritated Izuku pressed a finger to the tree and unmade it, they were both showered with wooden shrapnel as the tree exploded, sorry mother nature.Taking the surprise of the moment Izuku shot forward once more, expecting another rubber wall he dodged the first one and went for the kill.His finger was inches from Gentle, only for the man to suddenly slam backwards into one of his rubber walls, the force caused him to shoot forward again letting him land a solid punch against Izuku, throwing him into a tree.That was going to leave some bruising, seriously if lethal force was an option this fight would be over in seconds, but noooooo this stupid rubber quirk won't let me touch him.He grunted in irritation before deciding on his newest plan."I think this landscape needs some remodeling, don't you Gentle?" Izuku rhetorically asked before unmaking a roughly 50 ft area, then using the material to encase Gentle in a barrier."That should keep him for a bit."
"GENTLE!" Labrava cried out.
"Relax I've been avoiding purposefully killing him, he's fine, trapped but fi-" A small crack was heard."Oh for the love of." Then the man exploded out of his earthy cell.
"I see the U.A. Boy has quite a few tricks up his sleeve, I suppose I'll need to remain in the air for the time being.You know I wanted to be a hero once upon a time." The man magnanimously laughed as he bounced in the air.
Labrava watched as the man she loved fought for his dreams and she could do nothing for him except pray that her quirk would be enough.Gentle saved her, she had to do something to help, she'd been bullied and disillusioned then this grandiose man saved her from her own sorrow.She turned and started to run, she had to do her job and disable the security system, she had to trust Gentle to win.
"You know I think I've had enough of our little cat and mouse game, I'd been avoiding doing this because it's really not that heroic but ..." Izuku created a portal sticking his hand through and grabbing Labrava's collar before pulling her through, she started squirming against his grasp immediately."If I take her quirk do you think the effects of it will end?" Izuku asked aloud.
Labrava immediately stopped and paled, her eyes became distant, she was going to lose her quirk.This was it, she was going to be quirkless.
"WAIT!" Gentle screamed."Please ... don't."
The man sounded so defeated to Izuku, god this made him feel like a monster, the trail of blood leaking from his face wasn't helping either."This whole time Gentle you've been talking about dreams, and you even mentioned you wanted to be a hero in the past.Like I've said from the beginning I didn't want to do any of this, so tell me." Izuku paused activating Confession."What are your dreams?Why couldn't you be a hero?"
The strange compulsion hung over his mouth again and so ... he spoke."I was in the hero track but I was never any good, I'd been forced to retake year after year, I failed class after class at some no name hero school, which was fine with me.I could handle that, I'd be a hero one day, I'd be famous, people would know my name.But then ... the incident occured, I saw a man about to fall to his death from a skyscraper and even without a provisional license I took action, I was going to prove to them I could be a hero, that my quirk was useful."
He paused to take a breath."I used my quirk to create a bubble underneath the man who was falling, a hero with wings flew straight into it, and bounced off into the wall.The other wire that was holding the person who was originally falling broke as well, causing the man and the scaffold to bounce into my quirk.The man bounced out and landed roughly breaking a few bones, the scaffold on the other hand bounced the other way, falling on the hero and almost killing him.I was ... disgraced, the hero school I attended kicked me out, my parents kicked me out, I became some nameless nobody wandering the streets.But it wasn't until I met a fellow classmate from my old school ten years later that it finally clicked.He ... didn't even remember me, in that moment I was shell shocked, I remembered my dream and ran home.It was then and there that I decided if I couldn't be famous as a hero despite all my hard work then I'd be famous as a villain, a Gentleman Thief." Tears had started to leak from Danjuro's eyes as he was forced to relive everything that happened to him.
Izuku saw the raw emotion and something in him broke, Labrava's quirk had ended as well so he'd unofficially won the fight."Gentle Criminal, no.What's your name?"
Tobita felt himself forced to speak once more."Danjuro Tobita."
"Let me help you Tobita, you can still be a hero, you can still be famous.All of the crimes you've 'committed' were mostly minor ones, ... sans the beating up heroes part.I can save you, both of you." Izuku pleaded with the couple.
"Don't trust him Gentle!He's lying, he can't help us, no one can!" Labrava screamed at the top of her lungs.
"I figured you wouldn't trust me so here's proof." Izuku stuck his other hand on the girls exposed neck, yep she can handle two."I've given you Confession, ask me any question and I'll be forced to answer it truthfully."
Labrava felt tingly as something passed into her through her neck she listened to the boy's words but didn't believe him."How can I know your telling the truth?" She felt this strange vibration of her tongue that she hadn't felt before.
Izuku hadn't felt the effects of that quirk since Nemoto and it slightly unnerved him remembering that day."Because I just forcibly activated that quirk, try it on Gentle if you don't believe me." Izuku reassured the girl and set her down.
Labrava looked not too enthused but did so anyway."I want you to lie to me Gentle.How old am I?" The twin tailed girl asked her lover.
Gentle once again felt that now familiar pull as the words left his mouth."Twenty one."
"See, I gave it to you.Now ask away, also we should probably hurry, no idea how soon security is gonna get here." Izuku gave them a bright reassuring smile.
"Do you really want to help us?Even after everything we've done." Aiba felt weird using a second quirk.
"Absolutely, I know what it's like to fall through the cracks, to be disowned, to be beaten down by society.You two deserve nothing more than a second chance." He never let his smile fade.
Gentle looked exasperatedly at the boy, could he truly help them?"Let's say I do believe you, how could you possibly help us anyway?"
"Well let's just say the world's most intelligent and horrifying being kind of owes me a favor I never cashed in on." Izuku rubbed the back of his head remembering the 'prank'.Izuku pulled out a napkin and pulled his leaking nose."Also can we not talk about me using the portal quirk?A certain somebody, well two somebodies won't be happy I did that."
"You, you're serious?" Labrava asked incredulously.
"Well if you're smart enough to hack into U.A. like you claim, Nedzu is going to love you.As for you Tobita, your quirk is amazing, hell my quirk is demanding I come over and rip the thing out of you.You should take that as a compliment, he's been rather picky lately." Izuku laughed a bit.
"He?" Gentle asked confusedly.
"My quirk, Kuroe's his name.I just love the little scamp, he's super overprotective though.Not important at the moment." Izuku's black irises hummed for a second."Securities here, make your choice."
Gentle quickly dropped from the sky as he heard that, either go to jail or let this boy help them, the choice was obvious."I'll do anything to keep Aiba out of prison, even if you have to use me as a scapegoat, I'll do it." Gentle Criminal bowed in place.
The earnesty surprised Izuku but it made it more obvious he made the correct decision."Good, now follow me, oh and I'm taking this back." Izuku took Confession away from the girl."Also that quirk doesn't exist, I don't want my friend to find out about it and I have a feeling you two will be sticking around."
"Sticking around?" Labrava asked as she felt the tingle again.
"Eh don't worry about it." Izuku activated Dark Vision and cursed."Shit hurry in, they're coming!" Izuku quickly made a portal before shoving the pair in.
Nedzu was enjoying his morning cup of tea while grading his personal student's grades, she was almost back up to where her level of education should be and Nedzu was so proud of her."You deserve another treat Eri."
"Really!?" The girl shot up from her desk.
"Indeed, only the finest for my favour-" Nedzu nearly had a heart attack as a portal opened inside of his office.
"Oh it's mister Izu!" Eri excitedly exclaimed.
Well at least the girl was taking it better than him."Indeed but I do wish he'd give some warning before doing that though." Nedzu sighed.
Eri's smile quickly fell as two unknown people stumbled into the room."YOU'RE NOT MISTER IZU!"
Labrava huffed as she tried to wipe the scuffs off of her pants."Did you have to shove us into that portal!?"
Gentle was doing the same thing but gave up due to the futility of the effort.Their battle had not been a sordid affair and it left his uniform in tatters."I'm going to need to get this tailored later."
"I must ask why are you in my office and where is Midoriya?" Nedzu had his finger over the call button, he'd gotten a message from Hound Dog about potential criminals on campus.
Izuku stepped through the portal closing it and saw the tense situation."Okay maybe I should've gone through first." His laughter fell on deaf ears. "... Right, not funny.So hey uh, Nedzu?"
Nedzu did not like the look in the boy's eyes."Yes Midoriya?"
Izuku started rubbing the back of his head."Remember that favour you owed me?"
"Yessssss?" His tone was very strained.
"Uhhhhhh would it be possible to get these two people's crimes pardoned?" Izuku clapped his hands together begging the man.
"... What?" Nedzu's face sunk, then his comms went off.'Unable to locate the source of the three different scents, they just seem to disappear GRROOOAARRRRR!' "Oh dear." Nedzu quickly grabbed the radio before responding."It's taken care of, resume guard duty." Once the line cut Nedzu shot Izuku a glare."Explain."
Eri was poking the twin tails girls' cheeks."You're shorter than me!It's nice to meet someone my age!Do you wanna play?'s been teaching me chess but I'm not very good."
Aiba cringed internally, sure she was small but the girl in front of her could be no more than 7 years old.How could she confuse the two's age difference?
"So uh I kinda caught them breaking into U.A. but I don't really think they're villains and I kind of wanted to give them a second chance at life?" Izuku weakly explained but honestly it wasn't that convincing.
Nedzu just sighed, this was Toga all over again wasn't it?"I suppose I can at least hear them out but shouldn't you be preparing with your class for the concert?"
Izuku quickly looked at his phone it was 9:45, they were on in fifteen minutes!"Oh crap I'm so sorry I gotta go.Uh basically they kinda got screwed over but they're good people and they want to turn over a new leaf, both have skills that can help Nedzu.She's a genius level hacker and he has a quirk that is like the world's strongest shield." Izuku then opened one last portal realizing he was going over his limit but that time was too crunched to not, he'd deal with the backlash when it came.Izuku waited for his newest creation to walk through the portal.The figure made the two new people shudder."This is Arakiel, I made him in the image of Ananiel but with a few improvements, he's going to make sure they don't try anything while I'm gone, though I doubt they will.Oh, and one more thing." Izuku walked over and put a hand on each of their necks."Sorry I'm keeping these for now, you'll get them back later."
The people in the room stared at the horrifying thing with four wings, what appeared to be spider legs on it's back, four arms, the face of a human with four eyes, and he wielded a massive spear.
Tobita and Aiba were drawn out of their stupor as they felt a tingly sensation as his hand made contact."Did you steal my quirk boy?!" That hadn't been part of the deal.
"Play nice and you'll get it back." Izuku winked as he disappeared into the portal to the top of his dorms."Byeeeeeee!"
And thus there were now 3 people and 2 sentient quirked animals standing in a room together.It left Eri confused as she looked around."Um do you want an apple?"
"I shall refrain." Arakiel commented which startled Nedzu.
"YOU CAN TALK!?" The bear shouted in surprise.
"Indeed my god has deigned that I should be capable of speech Wise One." The creature bowed to the rat.
"I - I see."
The two newcomers had no idea how to handle the situation they found themselves in."So um, I guess I should explain?" Tobita asked.
"I suppose you should." Nedzu was rubbing his temples, this was going to be such a headache.
Izuku was rushing to his room from the roof.The boy handed a quirk off to one of the animals as he exchanged it with another.He needed to get washed up and find a way to lessen the nose bleed he was currently suffering from.Izuku quickly rummaged his key out of his pocket, thankful for the fact his room was so close to the roof.He opened it and closed it quickly hoping to avoid anyone seeing him, though they should all be at the auditorium anyway.So when he opened the door to his room and found Momo waiting for him he was a little shocked."Uhhhhhh."
Momo crossed her arms and folded her legs leveling a glare at her boyfriend."And where have you been?"
"I plead the fifth?" Izuku sheepishly asked the air.
Momo sighed and she softened her gaze, she pulled a handkerchief out and used it to wipe the boy's nose."We'll talk about this later, but we got to get down to the auditorium.Just, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, slightly bruised but fine.I ran into some villains on the way to get that rope ... the rope that I forgot." Izuku pouted."I gotta make another portal I gotta gra-
Momo stopped him."I knew I should've made that rope for you.And it's fine I should've done this in the first place." She huffed as she created some nylon rope.
"Actually I think it worked out for the best you didn't, I think I just saved some people." Izuku smiled brightly at the girl.
That caused Momo to stop her actions for a second."Well that's good Izu, I brought your costume for the concert.You should go ahead, wash up, and get changed.I'll wait for you in the common room."
"Thanks Mo, I'll see you in a few." He grabbed the bag from her and proceeded to the bathroom.His face was pretty roughed up, he'd taken a decent couple of scuffs during that fight.His clothes were covered in random bits of shrapnel and wood chippings."God I don't look very good right now, do I?" Izuku quickly splashed water on his face as he brought a cloth up, he quickly changed after cleaning himself off.He then ran out of the room as fast as he could and then bolted down the stairs.Izuku met back up with Momo and they both quickly ran off towards the class.
"Where the fuck are they?" Bakugo grumbled loudly.His class forced him into being the drummer and if his practice was for naught he was gonna be pissed.
"Bro chill, they'll be here soon.I know Yaoyorozu, said she'd fetch him, we just gotta trust her." Kirishima tried to calm his friend down.
"Yeah man, Midori's a bro, he ain't gonna screw us over right Kyoka?" Kaminari was busy charging somebodies phone with his quirk but still listening in.
"Ugh fine, High Class better fucking hurry up though." Bakugo kept grumbling.
Jiro didn't hear herself being addressed, she was just nervously tapping her ear jacks together."H-huh sorry?"
"Kyoka you got this!We've all heard you sing, you're amazing." Mina gave her a pat on the back.
"Y-yeah, I k-know..." Kyoka weakly stammered out.
"WE'RE HERE!" Izuku shouted as he jumped into the room with Momo."Sorry there was a villain attack but I'm here let's do this!" Izuku warmly smiled at everyone present.
"A VILLAIN ATTACK?!Deku are you okay?" Uraraka bounded over and started searching him up and down.
"Yeah yeah I'm fine." Izuku rubbed the back of his head."I hope you guys get to meet them, they ended up being really nice." He smiled again.
Hagakure sweatdropped."I don't even want to ask but I feel like someone is going to anyway.You made friends ... with the villains?The villains ... that attacked you."
"Yeah!" Izuku smiled brightly at her.
"You know what, I don't even care, you do you." Hagakure just walked off.
Jiro's nervousness had vanished in all but a second.She just started laughing."This is why we love you green holy shit!"
"She's not wrong." Momo laughing a bit as well.
"Deku why the fuck did you make friends with the people that attacked you?!You know what fuck it, we don't have the time for this discussion, we're on in five." Bakugo followed Buzz Fuck out of the waiting room.
Todoroki looked Midoriya up and down for a bit."This is why my father hates you Midoriya, you're too nice.You remind him of All Might." Todoroki coldly commented before following the rest of his class.
"Guys we can talk about Midoriya's villain friends later.We got this, let's rock it class 1-A!" Mina shouted before dragging everybody in with their enthusiasm.
Five Minutes later
Jirou was screaming internally, how had she let them convince her to do this.Singing in front of this many people!?She barely managed to do it in front of her class and this was an entirely different level in comparison.It's like she skipped the whole game and just went for the final boss.Great now she was making video game references because of her stupid boyfriend and her anxiety was flaring and she still had to sing.
Jirou turned to see Kaminari giving her his best derpy smile, the one he had when he'd overused his quirk.She couldn't help but smile back at him, she did love the idiot at the end of the day.As much as she refused to say it.
The crowd began chanting."YAOYOROZU!YAOYOROZU!YAOYOROZU!"
Izuku sat at his perch high above the stage."Why is everyone shouting Yaoyorozu?" Izuku asked aloud.
Todoroki gave him a simple shrug.
"Bro don't you know she's like the idol of the first years." Kirishima unfortunately spoke the truth.
"Ah I see, I have some people to kill." Izuku coldly retorted.
"Dude don't kill them just cause you don't appreciate how lucky you are." Sero moaned.
"Nevermind, congratulations you get to die first Sero." Izuku started walking over to the boy, his intentions clear.
"Wait, no, I didn't mean it man, I'm sorry!" Sero started bowing and begging.
"Perish." Was the only reply Sero got.
"Someone stop him please, I'm too young to die!" When no one came to his aid Sero considered running.
Bakugo's loud yell unfortunately interrupted Izuku's murderous plans."It seems you get to live for now."
'Thanks Bakubro!' Sero screamed in his head.
Moment's prior, the room darkened.
watch?v=vaV-dSslhpY
"LET'S GO, DAMMIT!" Bakugo howled as he raised his drum sticks."All of U.A. ... WE'LL KILL EM WITH OUR SOUND!" Bakugo slammed his implements down before making one of the largest explosions of his life.
Jirou was cursing internally.'I told you not to adlib it Bakugo!' Whatever it's here, they've started, she had to do her best, so she opened her mouth.
"What am I to be?"
She could do this, Kyoka could do this!
"What is my calling?"
Momo began her riff on her keyboard as she shot confetti out of her body, she even added a little bit of One For All to really give them some distance.She smiled briefly as she looked out at the roaring crowd, maybe she could get used to this.
"I gave up giving up"
Aoyama tensed as he got ready for his part, he was going to sparkle brighter than he ever had in life before, he felt their vice reps black tendrils surround his body and he was thrust into the air.He let out his quirk from everywhere on his body that had an amplifier, he then solidified it and made himself a platform high in the air.It wasn't much longer before a small group of the class was tossed up after him.Aoyama smiled as Tsuyu and Tokoyami stuck the landing.
"I'm ready to go!"
Izuku smiled as the group of 3 started dancing on Aoyama's 'Flying Carpet'.His part was going to be soon, and for that he'd be needing a slightly unfamiliar quirk.But during his battle it didn't seem like the quirk had any kind of backlash so it should be fine, in theory.Hopefully his class won't mind the slight alteration to his part, though to be fair this was his petty revenge for all that wasted dance training.
"Tried all my life
I tried to find
Something that makes me hold on and never let go"
And that's the signal, originally he was going to be doing this with Zero Gravity and he would be, but with a slight twist.Izuku jumped from the top activating Zero Gravity on himself as he flew through the crowd, touching as many people as he could while Todoroki unleashed a massive glacier, Kirishima used his hardening to scrape off ice while Uraraka blasted the scrapings to make the air sheen like a winter wonderland.Izuku's task was completed as he saw many of the crowd floating up into the air, Time for phase 2.Izuku started making bubbles of elasticity all over the room's floor causing people to start bouncing about lightly, the smarter of the crowd realized what they did and started jumping on them.His class gave him a glare but he smiled back at them and started hopping up and down in place, truly it was a shame he'd have to give this quirk back.
After the show
"What the hell green bean!I expected Bakugo to adlib, I can't even count how many times I had to tell him off for that during practice, but don't go whipping out an entirely new quirk on us in the middle of the show!" Kyoka was slightly furious, she'd been nervous as it was, she certainly didn't need that surprise on top of everything else.
"Sorry but it's not like I had time to tell you all, I literally got the quirk like twenty minutes ago.Besides it all worked out didn't it?People really loved the trampolines and floating about the room." Izuku smiled as he melted another chunk of ice.
"Ugh whatever, you're just lucky no one got hurt." Kyoka sighed once more, hating their class president for his antics.
"Had it not been for my quick intervention with Black Whip someone may well have." Momo added.
"And they weren't and isn't that the only thing that matters?" Izuku smiled brightly.
"Not really dude, but I do gotta admit it was kinda fun." Kirishima had jumped down from his post mid song because he wanted to join in.
"I'm guessing that's one of the villains quirks Deku?" Uraraka asked.
"Yeah I'm going to most likely be giving it back though so I wanted to have fun with it befor-
"Izuku Midoriya to the Principal's Office.Izuku Midoriya to the Principal's Office."
Izuku heard the speaker in the auditorium go off.
Hagakure started laughing."Your in so much trouble moptop, try not to die."
Izuku paled, maybe he'd taken it slightly too far, nah."It's probably just about you know what, I'll be back guys!" He gave them a wave as he started walking to the office in question.
"If you get expelled can I have your Principal Nedzu merch?!" Mina shouted after him.
"No!" Izuku didn't turn as he went.
"I'll back him up." Momo sighed and ran after the boy.
Nedzu's brows were furrowed, well as much as an animals could be.How was he supposed to cover up the crimes of an infamous youtuber, he'd listened to their story.He empathized with them, he really did, but of all the things Izuku had to ask for a favour, it had to be this."So let me get this straight, there is video evidence of you publicly assaulting pro heroes and their sidekicks?"
Gentle was squirming in his seat."...Yes?"
"And Izuku dropped you off here because he thought you two should be given a second chance." Nedzu continued.
"Yes."
"And he somehow expects me to just whisk away your crimes?The crimes you have recorded and are currently being shown about the internet?"
The more the mouse talked to them the more unlikely the scenario sounded to Labrava, publicly filming your crimes then asking to be shown lenience was just a lot."We can take them down?..."
The rat turned his head."And anyone who has downloaded any of your videos will still retain evidence?"
Labrava knew that already but she wanted to try and contribute something to this conversation.
Nedzu sighed for the umpteenth time today."I'll see what I can do, delete your videos.The longer we can keep you both hidden the better, though that shouldn't be too hard with how secretive I make U.A." Nedzu looked at his watch before reaching over to the intercom."Izuku Midoriya to the principal's office.Izuku Midoriya to the principal's office."
The now quirkless Gentle thought he should plead his case."Nedzu, can I offer myself to lessen Labrava's crimes?She never participated in my deeds, she simply recorded them." The man lowered his head from his chair.
"Gentle!No!I won't let you take the fall for this.I'm just as guilty!" The twin tailed girl shouted at the mouse.
Gentle turned to her, his voice barely a whisper."Labrava, please.There's no reason we both need to be imprisoned, please let me do this."
Everyone in the room turned to face a new voice speaking."I do not understand the issue, God said these interlopers were to be shown mercy.How could anyone trample his lord's majesty?"
"Have an apple Arakiel." Eri said basically forcing the thing into his mouth.
"I suppose if the princess requests it then I shall acquiesce." The quirked animal ate it in one bite."Still I do not understand the issue, simply pardon these two and be done with it."
Nedzu stared at the creature, the fact it could speak still greatly shocked him."Arakiel your master does not control the law."
"Folly, he speaks and we obey, he is law."
Nedzu didn't realize trying to convince a quirk would be this difficult but here he found himself, how does he convince the quirk that his 'god' wasn't all powerful?An idea hit the rat suddenly."Arakiel there are other gods, a council so to speak.The gods must debate amongst themselves, this system was set up so that no one god would hold all the power."
"I see, my master has chosen to let the voices of his underlings somewhat influence his actions.I see it now, ... a memory, 'Absolute power corrupts absolutely.' My lord is worried that with too much power, he would lose himself.Truly, the Blood God is wiser than the rest of us." Arakiel affirmed.
Labrava and Gentle both looked at each other while simultaneously thinking 'BLOOD GOD?!'.
"Oh yeah Mister Izu is all kinds of smart.He taught me how to brush my hair, and to color inside the lines, and to do math better, he's taught me lots of things." Eri smiled brightly at the quirk.
"I see, I must request additional knowledge from my lord, I failed in the most basic of tasks.To learn, truly they must be disappointed in me." Arakiel lowered his head.
Eri waved her hands a bit."Oh no, Mister Izu loves you Arakiel.He told me your uh, huh what's the word, INSPIRATIONAL!" The little girl shouted.
"How so Princess?" Arakiel tilted his head towards his masters second most beloved.
"You prove that he can do better and he want's to learn and uh get better?" Eri's head also tilted.
"I see just as my master constantly improves himself, I must do the same.I understand Princess, you have brought great knowledge to this servant."
Izuku then walked into the room."So, I'm here."
"God!I shall strive to do better." Arakiel bowed.
Huh."Yeah you do that, I believe in you."
"Your trust is not misplaced lord, I shall whip the others into shape as your will desires."
"Rrrrrrright." Izuku dismissed the creation."You called me Nedzu?"
"And I came because I know Izuku did something incredibly stupid again." Momo appeared behind the boy sighing."Are you the two that attacked him?" Her gaze suddenly sharpened as she stared down the costumed pair.
Gentle felt the hairs on his neck straighten up under the pressure the girl was exerting."Yes?"
Labrava on the other hand felt herself subconsciously wanting to flee behind Gentle, but barely managed to keep herself composed.
"Try anything or hurt anyone, and I will end you." Momo threatened the pair.
Holy shit Izuku thought to himself, is this what its like when your not the one she's staring down?
There was an audible gulp followed by silence.
"Yaoyorozu please do not threaten to kill people in my office." Nedzu was still looking through the footage of the youtuber pair in front of him.So, so much evidence that proves he's a villain, how was Nedzu supposed to fix this.
"Fine." Momo relented.
"My queen while getting to see your rage in it's full splendor is a welcome sight, I have already been commanded to deal with the interlopers should it become necessary, worry not."
"Queen?" Momo asked aloud while turning to the quirk giver.
"I don't know, they always talk like this." Izuku shrugged doing his best to ignore how weird his creations thought processes were and wondered if in some way he should be worried about his own.
"Midoriya, you're asking a lot of me here." The faces of the two captives went white."But I believe I may have some idea of how to handle the situation.Honestly what you want me to do is downright illegal and as the principal of a hero school it sounds wrong." Nedzu paused again."However I believe I must, it will take time.I won't be frank with you two, you are going to suffer for a bit, but at the end of it I think it may just be possible.For the meanwhile however your freedoms will be greatly restricted, do you accept?"
"Restricted how?" Gentle asked.
"You WILL NOT leave campus, you will not be seen, you cannot for if you are, well then it'll be the end of it.I will deny this meeting ever occurred, ... despite your lack of popularity I have no doubt a student of mine has seen you before.In the very very short term you will either go to prison immediately, or you will do EVERYTHING I say.Do I make myself clear?" Nedzu's cheery face had completely dissolved.
"I'll do it, I'll keep Gentle out of prison!" Labrava suddenly shouted."I'll do anything, please..."
"Labrava ..." Gentle stared at the girl.
Nedzu's smile returned."Wonderful!" The rat shot out of his seat."Then we have a deal.Eri I can trust you not to say anything that happened during this meeting?"
"Of course Mister Mouse, ask Mister Izu, I'm great at secrets!" Eri exclaimed.
"Well is she?" Nedzu asked humoring the girl.
"She's just the best." Izuku chuckled.
"Well then, I will be using the cell I created for Izuku's portals for you two, once the festival is over and more things are finalized, you two will be released once conditions are met.In the meantime I apologize for any rough treatment you might be put through, I'll have Lunchrush whip you something up as an apology."
The pair bowed."We both accept, we understand this is a rushed affair and as such our personages will not dispute our treatment, we look forward to working with you Principal Nedzu." Gentle said.
Momo smiled at the situation, Izuku was finally doing what he always wanted too.To save people who needed saving."Wanna go enjoy the rest of the festival Izu?"
"Absolutely Momo, though I wish you'd put yourself in the beauty pageant.Lord knows you would've won." Izuku smiled back.
The praise caused her to blush greatly."Do you mean, do you really mean it?"
"You heard the crowd earlier." Was all Izuku said as he grabbed her hand and led her off.
"So where to first Izuku?" Momo asked as she held his hand while they walked down the halls, other students were busying themselves as they walked around the duo.
"Hmm, we can visit 1-C's haunted house whenever, want to go check out the play 1-B is doing?I saw the name and it made me spit out the soda I was drinking."
"Hmm, what is it?" Momo opened the culture festival guide and sputtered in a very undignified manner when she saw it."Oh it's going to be so bad, what made them think they could get away with this?"
Izuku liked it when Momo was smiling, it always brightened his day."Yeah "Romeo, Juliet, and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Return of the Kings" legitimately sounds like the worst thing I've ever heard of and its beautiful.Oooh I just got an idea, we should make a class bad movie night.Have you ever seen "The Room?"
Momo briefly looked away in thought."Nope can't say that I have Izuku.What's it about?"
"A girl cheating on a guy, I think?Honestly so much happens in that movie I can't give you a legitimate answer.Also, that settles it we are making bad movie night a thing, I've even got a second movie already lined up." Izuku's nose started bleeding which to be fair, he had overused the quirk, so he wasn't surprised.
Noticing her boyfriend wincing as he grabbed his head."Hmph, I know you did it to save them and I'm glad you did Izu but please take better care of yourself." She gently started wiping his nose with her free hand.
"I know Mo, I know, and thank you." He smiled at her.Though internally he was worried beyond belief, his body might actually be breaking down at this point.The taunt All for One sent him rang in his ears as Izuku felt his right hand creak.Seriously Izuku was debating just cutting the thing off and letting Minor Regeneration grow a new hand, though he knew no one would be happy if he did that.Why isn't Overhaul fixing it correctly?What was the quirk stealer missing?
"Seems it's stopped, how many times did you use it Izuku and don't lie to me." Momo pouted.
"Just five, I only went over by one.In my defense I really did try to not overdo it but they kept ignoring my warnings to surrender and I didn't want to hurt them, especially after learning Gentle's tragic backstory." Izuku chuckled."Huh I just realized, ... Mo, where's your tragic backstory?"
"Huh?" The heiress asked.
"Well it seems like everyone we know has some tragic horrible past that led them to here.Gentle couldn't achieve his dreams, I was quirkless for the longest time and my dad's a villain, Tsu had no friends, Uraraka's family is near destitute, Shinsou was treated like a villain, Todoroki is ... well Todoroki, Toshinori was quirkless and lost his master, and Hagakure was kidnapped by villains.I don't know I just thought it was kind of interesting that nearly everyone in heroics is here because well, something bad happened to us and we want to make sure it doesn't happen to someone else." Izuku thought aloud.
The thought did make Momo a little sad, he was right, her and Iida had both been born with silver spoons in their mouths and never really suffered, although Iida did almost lose his brother.Momo though, ... nothing, it made everything feel a little less earned.
Noticing the sad expression."Momo, if anything it's a compliment."
"What?How?!The worst thing that happened to me growing up was a bit of loneliness and being ogled at for my mature body.I mean sure people faked being my friend so I'd make them stuff but that's nothing compared to what everyone else has gone through." Momo's expression darkened further.
"Mo, it means you didn't need a push, a reason to help others.You naturally wanted to do it, you just wanted to be a good person.You were given everything you could possibly want and you turned it down just so you could help people.Honestly Mo I don't think you realize how special you or your quirk are.I'm glad your the one who has it, I doubt many others would be as selfless with it as you are." Izuku saw the girl start sucking in tears at the praise and hugged her."Seriously Mo, you're amazing, you're one of the greatest people I;ve had the pleasure of getting to know, the greatest actually."
"Izuuuu stop I don't w-wanna c-cry out here." Momo weakly let out as she returned the hug.
"Sorry but I love you to much not to spoil you." Izuku whispered in her ear.
The couple was being given a wide berth by the students walking through the halls and the pair could hear some hushed whispering."Maybe your right, let's get going I want to see the utter travesty that is 1-B's play."
A nod and the two were off.
"MY NAME IS ROMEO!YOU!GHOST OF AZKABAN, COUNT PARIS!RETURN JULIET TO ME!" Monoma shouted.
Izuku started snickering in his seat, Mo was also trying to keep her giggles under control but failing just as much.They started getting weird stares from the people around them but managed to quiet down with they started getting ssshed.
Izuku whispered to Momo very quietly."Oh my god, this is the worst thing I've ever seen, please, please tell me your recording this."
The girl nodded."I put a camera on Ivory, she's recording it from the rafters."
"You are literally the best, I cannot WAIT to shit talk this with 1-A.What the hell made them think they could pull this off?And why is there a subplot from Rapunzel in here?" Izuku snickered at the Heiress.
"Romeo ... you heard about your father from Gandalf, right?" Ironx4 asked, he was dressed in a black dark hoodie, that Izuku guessed was supposed to be intimidating."That he was the king of Gondor?That was a lie, I AM YOUR FATHER!"
Monoma's shock stricken face dropped his sword screaming at the declaration.
"I'm more confused about the part with star wars, I thought it was going to be bad at like 4 movies, and why is Monoma dressed like Frodo Baggins?" Momo snickered back.
"Probably the same decision making process that led to them making Kodai Juliet, I don't think I've ever seen the girl make a facial expression before."
"It's better than making Shoda who I'm guessing is Sam Wise?I think?" Momo guessed.
Another ssh caused them to quiet down and return to watching the butchering of movies that was 1-B's play.
The play wasn't much longer after that, just a final confrontation between the two villains and the end of the movie after Count Paris chopped off Romeo's hand.Izuku and Momo were laughing the whole way out."That was so refreshing, man we really haven't had a chance to go on a date lately, so this is ... nice." Izuku commented.
"Ahem, and we've got a lot more of it to go.I recommend this personally." Momo pointed to an item on the guide sheet."
Izuku took one look at the thing and smirked."Our little heiress has truly been corrupted by this commoner swine hasn't she?"
She just gave him a light slug to the shoulder."I will hit you harder next time." She giggled.
Izuku watched as Momo got her face painted, she wanted to look like a cat for Eri and Izuku couldn't help but smile at the thought.He ended up joining her and getting a unicorn drawn on his face, was it masculine, absolutely not.Would he care if anyone said anything?Also absolutely not.
"Awww Izu you look so cute." Momo rubbed his cheeks for a second.
"You too Mo, you ready for this?" The girls response was to grab his arm and lean into him causing him to blush a little.
Izuku stepped into the haunted house and noticed Momo began to shiver uncontrollably."I didn't know you didn't like scary stuff."
"I-it's n-not t-that b-big of a d-deal." Momo stuttered out.
Izuku gave her a reassuring squeeze trying to put down his own fear."It's okay I got you." The quirk stealer could just activate Dark Vision or Thermal but that felt like it would ruin the experience a bit, and Izuku wanted to have fun with this.
The first thing the pair heard as the walked the dark corridor was the sound of what felt like metal on chalkboard, the groaning screeching sound made Momo's teeth grind against each other.A small red light flickered in the musty looking hallway, it gave barely any illumination.A sudden screeching noise caused Momo to nearly jump into Izuku's arms, this was followed by what sounded like bat's flying overhead, away from whatever was at the end of this hallway.
Momo suddenly stopped forcing Izuku to stop as well."H-a h-a, they r-really w-went a-all o-out."
"Heheheheh, did you want to play with me?" A sudden child like girl's voice rang throughout the room.
"EEP!" Momo jumped once again at the sudden sound.
Izuku jolted a bit as he tried to find the source of the sound.
"Ring-a-ring-a-roses,
Momo was basically vibrating in Izuku's arm at this point but he had to be the rock and urge them forward through this.It was his idea after all.
A pocket full of posies,
"I-Izuku m-maybe w-we should j-just head b-back." The heiress weakly stuttered out.
"If your really uncomfortable we can just leave Momo, s-sorry I didn't know you hated these that mu-." Izuku weakly added but was cut off as the voice continued.
A-tishoo!A-tishoo!
"Izukuuuuuuu." The girl whined as the voice got closer.
The boy whirled about as the figure started sounding like it was coming from behind them, as he turned he saw the first glimpse of what appeared to be a little girl in a white dress covered in blood.
We all fall down!"
With that Momo turned and saw the figure and started screaming before she ran out of the horror show, Izuku was after her in seconds.They heard the voice asking them to play with her as they ran but neither stopped until they were out of class 1-C."Huff - Huff, okay didn't think I'd be getting in cardio today." The quirk giver joked.
Momo's body was just pale and trying to regain her breathing as they exited into the bright light."Izu, let's not do that again."
"Sorry Mo I didn't know you didn't like scary stuff or I wouldn't have taken you in there with me."
"No no it's fine I-Izu, you looked so happy when you saw it and you really wanted us to do a Haunted House for our classes event, I didn't want to ruin that for you. ... Guess I kind of did anyway though." Momo looked down and to the side, pouting.
The girl was pulled from her shock when a pair of lips made their way to her face, she quickly leaned into it once the surprise wore off.This continued until Izuku broke off the kiss a few seconds later."Mo you didn't ruin anything, I had fun okay?"
Momo just nodded and accepted that."Thanks Zu, I k-kind of enjoyed it too."
"I'm glad." Izuku smiled back."So what's next?I'm getting kind of hungry myself, maybe we can find Eri or someone and get lunch.All these food stalls have been making me hungry, especially that Takoyaki stand we passed earlier."
"I suppose I could go for a light snack, I did have to use my quirk at the concert after all.It sucks that I can't just not use fat storage or people would get suspicious." Momo whined.
"Well on the bright side you only have to use a bit so it gives the illusion that your quirk costs lipids.One for All really is amazing, ... but you're more amazing."
"Stooppppp, your being so mushy today."
A light peck to her mouth and Izuku grabbed her hand as they walked."It's true though, but fair enough I'll stop teasing you."
The two spent the rest of the day running about and enjoying everything the festival had to offer.As Izuku settled into his bed an alert from his phone made him groan."FIRST HERO BILLBOARD WITHOUT ALL MIGHT?WILL ENDEAVOUR BE THE NEXT NUMBER 1?".
"Ugh of course he's going to be, not that he deserves it."
"Hmm?" Momo tilted her head.
"The Hero Billboard, it's tomorrow, and you know who is going to be number 1.Makes me sick, like the thought of my father somehow earning the number 1 hero spot."
"Well despite how awful of a person he is, he does do good work Izu."
"I knowwwwwwwww." Izuku continued to whine."I just can't stand the idea."
"Don't think about it to hard Izu, just let the man do his job and ignore him.At least he stopped messing with his family."
"I'm waiting for the day you take the spot from him, like you have no idea.I'm going to shove it in his face so badly, I just hope you can do it before he retires.I don't want him to just lose the spot, I want it forcefully taken from him." Izuku smiled darkly at the thought.
"Izu..."
"You know Todoroki would agree with me."
"Yeah ... I know.I'll do my best." Momo gave him a hug."Now let's go to sleep."
"Got it." Izuku turned and hit the lamp.
Sir Nighteye stood in front of his mirror, his quirk activated as he stared into his own eyes."But how?It shouldn't be ... it shouldn't be possible.I should've died there, I've never seen this far before, but this vision, this new vision.I ca- I can't let it happen.I have to tell him, I have to break my rule.I can't let this come to pass, I refuse." Nighteye made up his mind then and there, he would change this future, he had too.
10:00 AM Day of the New Hero Bill Board Rankings
"You have Osteoporosis."
"I have what?"
"Osteoporosis, a result of your body losing too much bone or not creating enough.The bones in your right hand and arm are completely porous which would explain why it's so weak." The school nurse stated."In your case I believe it to be a loss of bone, you lost an entire hand remember?What was the name of the quirk again?"
Izuku pondered the potential implications of that before realizing."Overhaul."
Seeing the look on his face."Overhaul: To take apart something in order to examine it and repair it if necessary." Chiyo stated."You don't create new materials, you take existing materials and change them into something else.When you repaired your hand you stretched the existing bone in your arm in order to create new fingers, this is true for the skin tissue, the blood cells, as well as everything else.The reason those aren't as much of an issue is because the body replaces them much faster than it does bone.I'm going to be frank, you need a bone marrow transplant." The doctor said with more resignation than anything else in her voice.
Izuku examined his hand for a bit, deep in thought."I know you're going to hate this suggestion and will likely hit me with your cane for asking, but I could easily just cut my arm off and grow a new one.I could also try to repair my arm with Minor Regeneration as is, but I feel like that won't work." Izuku flexed his fingers.
There was silence for a few moments."You're right, I absolutely hate the idea.I don't even want to think about it or the potential implications that it could cause you to do in the future."
Izuku accepted that and lowered his head, not even going to try and argue his position.
"However, bone marrow transplants are not only hard to get, they are incredibly painful.While I would never in any other situation even remotely suggest that you take this course of action, I believe it may actually be the correct decision here." The doctor sighed."That doesn't mean I'm green lighting you to do this whenever, what it means is I'm saying under a controlled environment where we can monitor for any potential issues that under the correct circumstances it might be the correct choice.I am NOT saying you just go throwing limbs left and right all willy nilly, and if I ever hear about you doing this anywhere besides this very room, I promise you, you won't like the consequences of your decision."
Izuku just blinked in awe at the woman. "... Wait r-really?!"
Recovery Girl sighed again."Yes but I will be setting up an appointment and appropriate precautions will be taken, in the meantime just try not to overdo it too much and go easy on your right hand."
"What kind of preparations?" Izuku slightly curious what the set up for what was essentially an amputation.
"Painkillers, Blood Thinners, Sterile equipment, etc. Just things that'll make sure in the worst case scenario we can treat you." The woman was already writing a prescription for the things she'd need."Expect to do this surgery sometime next week Midoriya.You're dismissed and please take better care of yourself dearie.You've giving me more than my fair share of heart attacks this year."
Izuku gave the woman a bright smile before leaping off the bed."I was going to do some quirk testing with Momo later, is that fine?"
"Like I said don't stress your right hand but if its just practice it should be fine, now run along and take care of that poor girl." Chiyo didn't even turn as she clacked away on her keyboard.
Izuku flexed his fingers one more time as he walked through the hall he'd had Minor Regen turned on during that whole conversation and it didn't look like it was repairing anything, Izuku had to assume that meant his quirk didn't see the hole filled bones that constituted his arm and hand as an injury.'What if that means if I cut it off they'll regenerate to this state?' The thought made the boy frown a bit, worst case scenario he'd just get a bone marrow transplant, no big deal, and it certainly was good to find out about this earlier rather than later.Especially with something that's fixable.The logic behind the true function of Overhaul made sense, when Overhaul (The person) repaired himself he took the body parts of somebody else to replace his own, though when Izuku rewound the man he made sure to not go far enough that his arms came back.Bastard was going to spend the rest of his life as a cripple for what he did to Eri, Izuku made sure of that.
As Izuku walked he put both hands on the back of his head, it was relatively quiet in the halls at the moment, since it was the day after the festival classes still were out, and people had surprisingly quickly tore down all their stands before leaving the day before.Though the odd piece of trash was still to be found in the halls, they served as the only indication of the prior days events.Izuku pulled out his Notebook and read as he walked, he'd recently changed his note taking practice and was writing down every quirk that was in someway managed by him.He was just about to update Overhaul as he'd finally understood it's true nature.

Breath of Life: Allows the user to give 'Life' to inorganic objects, the amount of life changes depending on the size, the user slowly regains 'Life' as time passes.The things given life also need to be resupplied with life once a certain amount of time has passed or if they were physically active.Things given life have an interesting way of following orders.Example if I gave a vague command such as 'deal with them', the quirk would do anything ranging from murder to breaking a few limbs.Anything with sufficient brain mass is sentient, though it seems things that anything created with the quirk has some form of sentience.For some reason they act as if they're religious Zealots.
Minor Regeneration: A strong albeit slow emitter type quirk that lets the user regenerate their body at the cost of lipids.As it is an emitter type quirk and not a mutation you must continually activate it in order for regeneration to occur.As such it does not work when unconscious.
Tempo: Allows the user to either slow down or speed up time in intervals of 5 seconds, at periods of every 26 seconds.The human body acts at a normal speed however, in practice the quirk simply increases reaction time, which is incredibly useful for ending fights quickly.Overuse leads to migraines.
Ultra Sight: Mutation type that grants the user different visions as well as passively increasing the users standard vision, gives the user black voidless eyes.The visions in question are Blacklight, Zoom, Thermal, Radiation, Dark, and Night Vision.Overuse leads to eye strain.
Muscular: Accumulation type emitter quirk.The body stores muscles that can be extended from their body on command.This grants the user increased strength and speed, the amount depends on how many muscle fibers you deploy and where.No quirk overuse but if all muscle fibers are destroyed the quirk is essentially useless.
Warp Gate: Combination of four different quirks, one being a type of quirk that lets the user create physical clouds, the other three are unknown.The quirk allows the user to create portals to any location they have visually seen before.As a Nomu quirk it is incredibly dangerous for a human to possess, DO NOT give to another person as it will likely break them.
Galeforce: Allows the user to propel gusts of hurricane level winds from their palms, with training the total speed greatly increases.Overuse leads to fatigue.
Quirk Enhancer: Essentially a useless quirk to anyone who does not possess a second quirk.Allows the user to increase the strength by a quirk to as much as 1.5x power.No quirk overuse.
Confession: Upon verbally communicating a question to a person, the person is forced to respond to the question.No quirk overuse but has some potentially interesting applications depending on the scenario.
Overhaul: The quirk allows the user on touch to destroy and recreate something in any form wished, however there must be a material to use as a base.In addition you cannot turn one object into something else.Ex: If you overhauled concrete you couldn't turn it into marble.
Quirk Bank:
Spider: Mutation type quirk.Gives the user aspects of a spider albeit a humanoid one, they can shoot spider webs from their hands, four elongated spider legs emerge from the back of the person with this quirk.In addition the teeth of the user become vaguely fang like, they also possess the ability to spew poison from their 'fangs'.This quirk is currently possessed by Arakiel.
Molecular Manipulation: Allows the user to rapidly heat or cool themselves or other objects or people via touch, strangely takes up a very small amount of quirk space.Love: According to its user, it allows them to confess their feelings to the person they love and the power and quirk of the person who has been confessed too will be greatly boosted, only works once per day.Untested and on loan at the moment.
Elasticity: Allows the user to apply elasticity to any object they touch, however since the user is touching the air they can essentially use the quirk anywhere within visual sight or apply it to the ground via their feet.Unable to be broken and the greater the force applied to a 'rubberized' object the greater the knockback will be.No quirk overuse.
Paralysis: Contrary to what the name may imply it does not actually paralyze anything.What it really does is lock an object or person in frozen space, they can neither interact with nor be interacted with when contained in this prison.Emitter type quirk, activated by 'marking' an object.The hands of the person who possesses this quirk has a black spot on their palms, this black spot can be 'activated' when done so the black spot begins to leak this black goop similar in nature to ink.When the stuff comes into contact with a person or object they are 'marked'.Once marked the user can activate the quirk at any time to 'lock' the target.
Bad Luck: Mutation type quirk.A truly inconvenient quirk, impossible to be turned off or directed.Anyone within 30 feet of the user has inexplicably bad luck, as the saying goes, if it can go wrong, it will.The user itself is immune to the power of the quirk, however bad luck for a person nearby could also cause harm to the user.Currently on a Pigeon being kept a very very safe distance from the dorms.
Izuku looked up from his notes realizing he'd walked quite a distance he wanted to read the detailed section but relented.He'd have plenty of time in the future anyway.As he looked around he noticed he was in front of Nedzu's office.Izuku decided to take a quick peek and knocked on the door to the principal's office and in he went."Hey everyone." Izuku smiled brightly at the people present, those being Aiba, Danjuro, Nedzu, and Eri before taking a seat.
"Oh Midoriya, how was your check up with Recovery girl?" Nedzu barely looked up, instead intently focusing on whatever he was working on at his computer.
"I'm fine, just need a small surgery to fix my hand permanently.Other than that, it seems Kurogiri's quirk isn't affecting me too adversely, so basically a bill of perfect health." Izuku smiled at Eri who saw his smile and returned it before turning back to her work."How about you two?Any good news on the whole not going to jail thing?Not being treated too poorly by Nedzu are you?"
The rat looked slightly insulted but let the comment slide.
Danjuro started straightening his back for a second."The cell bed is incredibly uncomfortable and I haven't seen day light in over 24 hours, the food is magnanimous however."
Aiba seemed to be struggling from similar issues."It's better than an actual cell Gentle, we shouldn't complain."
"Thank you for voicing your discomfort, I'll see if something can be done about your arrangements.If I'm going to work this hard to fix something I might as well go all the way." Nedzu then turned to the greenette."Midoriya could you have Yaoyorozu make them a better bed?"
Izuku shrugged."She shouldn't mind I'll ask her the next time I see her.Though you did never answer about the whole no jail thing."
Gentle wilted a bit."It seems we are to be, hmm how should I phrase this.We are to be enlightening our community through services rendered for their benefit."
"What Gentle means is we're doing community service for a very very long time before the leash comes off." Labrava then turned her laptop towards the boy."My first job is to completely overhaul the security here at U.A." She turned the laptop back around after that."I'd explain the code and such but I doubt you'd understand, also Nedzu I must say whoever did your security previously is top notch.It took me months to hack it."
"Why thank you for the compliment Aiba, Power Loader and I created the framework ourselves.We put a lot of effort into it so to hear it be appreciated brings a smile to my face.I'll pass along your praise to Power Loader the next time I see him.I can't wait to have you two meet, I have a feeling you two will fit together like two peas in a pod.He was practically drooling when he saw the code you created to infiltrate U.A."
That caused the small twin tailed girl to blush slightly."T-thanks." She turned back to her laptop ending that conversation.
"What about you Gentle?" Izuku asked.
"I am being given a crash course on teaching, apparently I'm going to be a teacher here in the future.I shall brilliantly guide the hero hopefuls of the future down the right path!" Gentle finished with a flourish accidentally knocking his papers off the desk.
Izuku turned to Nedzu with a confused look on his face.
"We were able to turn All Might into a capable teacher in less than a few months, Danjuro over here will have plenty of time to become a most excellent teacher.We're having him start as a TA soon, I've heard from the staff how much they wanted one and I figured it could be a good introductory task." Nedzu cheerfully giggled, what he really meant was that he had someone to do everyone's paperwork for them.Revenge for all the work the man is making him do in order to free him.
Izuku saw that smile and was definitely glad not to be on the receiving end of it.Rest your soul Gentle Criminal, Izuku drew a cross with his fingers.Seeing everyone else busy with their tasks Izuku curiously walked over to Eri to see where she'd gotten too.She was currently working on her multiplication tables and doing a decent job Izuku thought."What's five times four Eri?"
Seeing Mister Izu was now standing over her shoulder she wracked her brain for a second."ummmm, TWENTY!"
Izuku ruffled her hair."Smart girl, keep up the good work okay?"
"Ahuh!" She rubbed her head into the older boy's hand.
"Alright Nedzu I think I'm going to head out.You all seem busy but glad to know everything's going well so far.I gotta go practice with Mo, then ugh, we're watching THAT as a class."
Noticing the disdain in the boy's voice Nedzu lifted his head once more."Hmm?"
"The Hero Billboard, usually I'm ecstatic to see it but this year I want nothing to do with it to be honest."
That elicited a small chuckle from the bear."I can see why, don't worry he's being kept on a tight leash."
"Good." Izuku flashed him a thumbs up before starting to walk out of the room.
"Oh that reminds me." Nedzu fished something out of his desk before throwing it at Midoriya.
Seeing the object sailing towards him Izuku caught it and stared at him."What is this?" It was a gold colored metal forty-seven.
"That's the rank you would've earned if you could be put in the rankings." Nedzu had a rare smile on his face.
"You - you can't be serious!Forty-seven?!I would've been ranked FORTY-SEVEN!?" The boy's shocked expression was priceless to the rat."I'm not even a second year yet, hell we're barely halfway through the first one." Izuku couldn't believe it.
"Congratulations Midoriya, people are finally recognizing your efforts." The genuine smile eluded to how proud the rat was of his student.
"H-how?" Izuku stared at the shiny bright Forty-Seven and it almost made him start crying.
"Your very public victories against Overhaul and All for One really brought you some publicity Midoriya, not to mention your the personal student of All Might and you saved the man's life back at Jakku.I'd say forty-seven is adequate for your achievements.What about you two?As ex villains what's your opinion?" Nedzu turned to his prisoners.
Labrava spoke first."As an enemy your horrifying Midoriya.But on this side, I think you deserve it."
"INDEED!Your passion has moved this old man's beard.I hope we can share the stage so to speak, I think you'd make an excellent second act." Gentle exclaimed in his usual exuberance.
"Yeah Mister Izu, you saved me, your my hero." The girl got up from her seat and started hugging his leg.
Izuku lost it then and there and started crying into the little girl's hair as he hugged her back.
Everyone in the room averted their eyes and pretended they didn't notice his crying.
"Sniff - thanks everyone.I'll -sniff- keep doing my best."
"Mister Izu your getting my hair all wet."
Izuku wiped his eyes before apologizing."Sorry Eri."
"If it makes you feel any better Yaoyorozu got thirty-five." The rat callously tossed out.
Izuku chuckled when he heard that."Oh she's going to totally lord that over me.I can already hear her saying it."
Nedzu laughed along."I'd be disappointed if she didn't, now get along Midoriya.You have things to do and so do we."
Izuku agreed and released Eri from the hug."Bye bye Mister Izu, I'll see you later!"
The girl exclaimed before running back to her desk.
"Yeah I'll see all of you later." Izuku exited the room before looking down at the object one more time.'Forty-seven huh.'
Izuku looked at his watch and saw he had another thirty minutes before they were meeting up to try out new quirk ideas and decided to take a stroll through the scenic route instead of walking straight there.As Izuku passed by the schools green house he heard animated talking, not quite shouting but getting close and he decided to investigate real quick.'An exciting day it seemed.'
"Hellooooooo?" The quirk stealer called out into the room as he walked in.As he rounded a large plant he caught two people staring at him, recognizing the brunette and fellow Greenette."Oh hello Shiozaki and Komori, how're you two doing?" They seemed slightly irritated but Izuku did his best to look calm.
"SHE won't agree with me that mushrooms are the best plant." Komori angrily stated.
"And SHE seems to not understand that Sunflowers are the superior plant, they always stretch and grow into the sun, they simply want to find the Lord's light." Ibara clasped her hands as light began to trickle down onto her.
'SERIOUSLY, HOW DOES SHE DO THAT!?' Izuku angrily thought but brushed it aside.
"But since you're here you can give us a second opinion.So what's better shrooms or sunflowers Green Demon?"
"Easy it's sunflowers correct?" Ibara turned and stared at the boy.
"First off, Green Demon?Second, I think both are good, Mushrooms are essential to the cycle of life and Sunflowers are aesthetically pleasing to the soul." Izuku knew that answer wouldn't placate them but he was more curious about the title 1-B had given him.
Komori started pushing her two index fingers together, clearly embarrassed."Um well, ha ha, I wasn't supposed to use that title directly to your face but since I kind of let it slip." She started rubbing her hair."It's kind of ... what we call you?"
"I do not debase you with such an evil moniker but the more chaotic forces of our class, Monoma and Setsuna both refer to you as such.I apologize if it offends you, Itsuka has been trying to make them stop from spouting further slander but it's been proving a futile effort so far." Ibara looked guilty.
Izuku just groaned."You don't have to walk on eggshells around me, it's fine.Plus I have the perfect way to get back at them." Izuku started giggling maniacally.
"Right whatever, back to our argument, mushrooms are totally better than sunflowers."
Ibara was about to respond again but Izuku cut her off."That reminds me." Izuku whipped out his notebook and a pen."I've been wondering about your quirk forever, I know you can create spores and those spores have to be gestated into actual mushrooms.You can create any kind right?Does that include poisonous ones?How easy would it be for you to kill someone if you did that?How'd your quirk manifest?Can you make psychedelic mushrooms?Oh but not like I want any I was just curious about potential medicinal uses of your quirk."
Both stared in shock at the boy in front of them."Umm I'm going to be real dude, I heard like half of that."
"I as well was lost to your musings, is this a common occurrence?"
Izuku realized this wasn't his class and as such weren't used to his mutter sprees and quickly became embarrassed."Oh, sorry, I just got so excited your quirk is so cool.Can I borrow it?"
"Borrow it?" Komori asked.
"I just wanna try and create a few shrooms, pleasseeeeeeee?" Izuku was basically begging her at this point."I'll let you borrow any of mine you wanna try?"
Komori looked at the boy's puppy like face and started laughing."Sure dude, you got it.I still owe you for float." She held her hand out waiting for the exchange.
"Thanks your the best!" Izuku quickly gave the girl a handshake before taking Mushroom, he replaced it with a fun one."It let's you make surfaces elastic, combine it with Float and I'm sure you can have some fun with that."
Izuku was about to start creating spores but stopped himself as he realized the potentially lethality of the quirk and turned back around to ask her some questions only to see the girl bouncing around the air laughing."OH MY GOD DUDE THIS IS AMAZING, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Shiozaki saw the expression of joy on her classmates face and became slightly jealous, her face quickly becoming a pout.
"Sorry to interrupt your fun Komori but how does your quirk work!" Izuku shouted at the girl who'd gone just a bit too high up.
"Just make a visual image of the type of Mushroom you want and think about spreading something!I'd recommend Shiitake for the first time!" Komori shouted as she dropped Float and bounced into another rubber wall before reactivating Float as she was thrown into the air.
"Thanks!" Izuku shouted after the girl as he did as she instructed, having googled what a Shiitake mushroom looked like he imagined a small amount of dust dripping from his hands and onto the table.Within seconds they were growing out of the wood, wow that's neat.
Komori touched down a few seconds barely making a sound as she hit the floor."See Mushrooms are better."
"Just because you have a quirk that makes Mushrooms does not make them better.You see me in here everyday, look at what hard work can make." Shiozaki pointed to her garden.
Izuku looked at his watch."Oh crap!I gotta go!" Izuku gave a light tap to the girl's hand taking his quirk back before returning hers."Sorry thanks for letting me try this!" He waved at the pair as he went, hearing their bickering continue.
Izuku was out of the green house when the urge to cough came over him, doing so he watched as blood came out."Wha-" Izuku stared at his hand for a long deep moment paling at the sight.'What, what is that?Did, did I just cough blood!?That's ... really not good.But Recovery Girl said I was fine!?' Izuku heard a group of students coming and quickly got rid of the evidence before walking at a slower pace to his destination.He'd just be a bit late, he never coughed blood, and nothing was wrong.He'd get a second test with Recovery Girl before saying anything to Momo.Maybe he should postpone these tests?He'd been doing so for such a long time though, he can't keep putting this stuff off, but if he hurt himself somehow.Crap, we'll just take it easy Izuku, we'll not strain anything and be fine.Having decided on his course of action the quirk giver quickly walked towards the forest where he and Momo were to commence his new quirk ideas.
"Hey Zu!" Momo shouted as her boyfriend approached, he looked a little haggard but that's probably because he ran over here."What made you late?"
She watched as he started rubbing the back of his head."Sorry Mo, I got distracted talking to people and I didn't want to use a portal."
"No worries." She held out her hand and the boy took it."I found this beautiful spot with a clear stream we can relax by whenever we need a break, we should definitely go hiking out here more often.The mountains U.A. owns are really beautiful."
"That sounds like a wonderful idea, I haven't gotten to go hiking in forever." Izuku smiled at her as they walked in silence through the woods for a brief few moments.
"So what'd you want to test today anyway Izuku?We've got like 3 hours before the Hero Billboard announcement starts so that should be plenty of time to do whatever."
"Oh not too much, I don't wanna strain myself just trying out a few of the new quirks and trying to get a better understanding of Overhaul." He turned to look back at the girl."What about you?Any luck with One for All?Did they say anything?"
"Unfortunately I've not heard anything since that dream we had the other mourning, I'll just focus on meditating with One For All and that's about the best I can do." The quirk inheritors smile brightened greatly."I'm up to a continuous 15% now and I can jump to bursts of 30% safely!I know it doesn't sound like much and I have so far to g-"
The girl was silenced as a pair of lips turned on her."You're doing great, no self loathing okay?You've tripled what you could do at the start of the year and that's amazing Mo."
Momo flushed."Y-yeah, thanks." Momo looked around noticing they'd reached the spot."Oh here it is Izuku, the creek is hidden right behind here.Momo quickly pulled him around a small bend and behind it was the quaintest spot, a small open field with long wavy grass, they billowed back and forth in the wind as the sounds of a small creek trickled along.
"Wow..."
Momo turned to see the look on her boyfriends face and smiled to herself.She then strode forward and walked over behind a tree finding a picnic basket and a blanket she definitely hadn't hid here earlier.
Izuku questioningly stared after the girl until he saw what she grabbed at from behind the tree.She then gently laid out a blanket next to a tree and set down the basket on top of it.Izuku sauntered over feeling some kind of emotion he wasn't sure about, but it was a good one."I love you."
Momo blushed at the sudden confession."I remembered when you cooked for me when I wasn't feeling well and well ... I wanted to return the favor Izu." She pulled out two wrapped somethings from the basket before setting them down and then pulling out two metal thermoses."I hope you like it, I made these sandwiches myself and I brewed the tea with some help from my mom." She nervously watched as Izuku took the wrapped sandwich before taking a bite.
Izuku's eyes watered a bit."It's amazing and I love you."
