Hey, you guys remember way back in season 2 episode 20 how All Might used the analogy of the chocolate box when explaining how One For All can be forcibly given to Izuku? Well, let's just say I got inspired.

(and i did originally write this when it was CLOSER to Valentine's Day)

Jade Mantis: Valentine's Day

"So… you know how there's this advertising everywhere to do something special for Valentine's Day? To the point where you feel like you have to do something just out of obligation?" She asked, the mood suddenly shifting.

"Well then—" She pulled out a box of chocolates, tied up with a pink bow. "This is just out of obligation!" Jade Mantis insisted, shoving the white box of chocolates towards All Might. The Number One Hero and Symbol of Peace blushed and suddenly started to feel a bit nervous. Valentine's Day had always put Toshinori on edge, as an Ace Hero in both senses of the term, but this was a special kind of awkward.

"I uh, had no idea that you—"

"Obligation!" Jade Mantis repeated before slapping her hands over her mouth.

C'mon Toshinori. You can do this. She's clearly nervous so just make a joke or something to make you both feel better.

"Did you know that the actual Saint Valentine was stoned to death? A more faithful observance of the holiday would imply you take someone out in an assassination, rather than a date!"

Jade Mantis looked him like she had just seen a zebra behind the wheel of a car.

All Might suddenly had to urge to lay face-down in the street and demand that one of the vehicles run him over.

Watching Nearby…

"So clueless," Vronskaya sighed, lowering her binoculars.

The young vigilante seriously needed to get brush up on not letting herself be followed. After all, someone dangerous could be following. As the hero and vigilante continued to fluster around one another, the business owner returned to the Strekoza, pretending as if she hadn't seen everything.

Inko walked in for her shift exactly ten minutes later, and five minutes early. Vronskaya liked that in an employee and respected the way the young woman looked as if she hadn't just been running around the rooftops in a mask.

"So, how was your Valentine's Day?" Vronskaya asked innocently. "Give anyone chocolate?"

To her credit, Inko didn't fluster or start to turn red, just scoffed and rolled her eyes. "As if, it's just a stupid holiday created by greeting cards that builds up this absolutely idiotic sense of obligation."

The boss merely hummed, hiding her smile as she took inventory. "And to think, White Day is just a month away." She idly mused, knowing very well Inko could hear her.

The young bartender stiffened and had such a look of dread at the thought of what the Symbol of Peace might do that Vronskaya couldn't help but chuckle good-naturedly.

One Year Later, at the Mustafa Police Precinct...

Detective Aoki sighed to herself. Another year has gone by, another Valentine's day spent on the job. She was single, so it's not like she had a good excuse to take time off. Still, it was a little annoying thinking about her partner back home giggling with his husband over dinner and drinks while she was here filing paperwork and going over old police reports.

Her email account pinged-maybe it would be something interesting.

Jade Mantis Vigilante Profile-officers in Mustafa Precinct be advised

Law Enforcement of the Mustafa area,

Blah blah blah, she's a danger to the community.

Blah blah blah, be sure to read this over carefully.

Blah blah, we are entrusting this case to the pros, but be ready to give whatever support you can, blah.

Aoki mentally rolled her eyes. Multiple pro-heroes had already tried collaring the vigilante to no avail. What exactly were they-police officers not even allowed to use their quirks-supposed to do about it?

If you were to ask Aoki's opinion on the whole matter, the brass was just getting ticked off that a vigilante was drawing attention to their mismanagement. Their precinct was regularly denied proper equipment and gear to help deal with villain incidents in the name of 'budget cuts'. At least a good third of the cops on the payroll were either lazy or crooked, and no pro would touch the neighboorhood unless it could guarantee them some airtime on the local news.

You put all of that on top of a superhuman society within a stone's throw of UA Academy, and vigilantes were only natural to pop up. To Aoki, Jade Mantis was a hero in all but legality-though she would make an honest attempt to arrest her, if only for appearance's sake.

With that thought in her head, the detective opened the attachment.

Jade Mantis Vigilante

Birth Name: Unknown

Age: Early-Mid 20's

Hair Color: Green

Quirk: Some form of telekinesis (upper limits unknown)

Known Associates: N/A The vigilante appears to work on her own.

Projected Stats: Power: 2/5

Speed: 3/5

Technique: 6/5

Cooperativeness: 1/5

Additional Notes:

Her quirk, while not overwhelmingly powerful, is incredibly versatile. She has demonstrated advanced combat ability. Possibility of a military background

A criminal psychologist has put together a psychological profile, important notes summarized here:

-Jade Mantis showcases an intensive knowledge of human behavior and emotion. She is able to utilize social camouflage effectively and uses her small stature and a seemingly weak quirk in order to take her opponents off guard.

-She has showcased an intense protective instinct towards children, that and her obvious disregard towards figures of authority indicates a history of childhood abuse or neglect.

-Actions are motivated by a sense of personal responsibility and not a desire for attention or praise. She cannot be bribed, threatened, or talked down from what she's doing.

-Origin of code name unknown, but it is most likely connected to something in her childhood.

While All Might has not elaborated, it is suspected that the Number One Hero utilizes the vigilante as a confidential informant.

It is obvious from the data gathered that the Jade Mantis vigilante is a highly intelligent and dangerous individual. Police and pro heroes are advised to never approach alone, and to request back up if encountered.

Endnote:

"—so it's kind of like that." All Might ended his One For All analogy.

"Why are you there?" Izuku asked, completely unaware of the delicious irony.

Kind of a shorter update, but I promise I'll make it up to all of you guys.

Yeah, so Vronskaya totally knows what Inko gets up to in her off hours, and All Might's asexual (meaning he doesn't really feel sexual attraction, he's attracted to Jade Mantis romantically)

The profile is based on a combination of watching too much Criminal Minds, and starting to wonder the exact way that the in-universe law enforcement view Jade Mantis.

Any other questions or concerns? Well then go on ahead and comment below and let me know! I'm happy to talk about anything so long as it doesn't drift into serious spoiler territory.
