Updates may be a bit infrequent this week. I'll try and stay on it.

Izuku had been at the beach most of the day. He'd always found comfort here after the the extended training he'd done with All Might. This was his beach. He'd cleaned it, he'd sweat and bled on it, He'd even fought on it - although looking back, not very well.

This beach was where his dreams came true. This beach was where he could always work his hardest, push his limits to their maximum. He fell into an almost trance like state of training and exercise when he was here.

He would sprint across the beach, dodging imaginary attacks and enemies from every possible direction. He would scale the wall up to the street over looking the beach - then he would leap back down and practice break falls. When no one was around to berate him for it, he would scramble across the breakwater along one side of the beach, practicing his maneuverability. Push Ups. Sit Ups. Crunches. Repeat.

Izuku's world, from noon when he arrived till 4pm when Asui, Mineta, and Yaoyorozu arrived, came down to just those actions. Which of course, is why he did not notice them arrive.

They came bedecked for beach side fun. Swimsuits under summer clothes, Yaoyorozu already beginning to form Parasols and Pool Toys with her quirk. Asui, ever pragmatic had opted to wear a wet suit instead of the standard swimsuit. Despite Mineta's personal opinion, she actually had nearly no self esteem issues - quite the opposite. She almost never thought about how she looked, and took only as much time to arrange herself as was necessary. She wondered briefly, if she would have to reconsider that, as the group crested the hill and looked down on the beach, where Izuku was.

He was on the beach doing some for of high intensity training - dead sprinting between two mounds of sand he'd clearly piled up, dropping at either side to do as many push ups as he could in ten seconds, then rising and dead sprinting back. And on, and on, and on. He was shirtless and sweat glistened off of him as though he'd just come from the shower. Months of borderline insane training were clearly present on his once rail thin frame.

Asui, and Yaoyorozu had glazed looks in their eyes, frozen mid conversation by the sight. Mineta was mostly just annoyed. Of course nerd boy would call them for some training crap or other. He narrowed his eyes and began stomping down towards Izuku on the beach.

"Maybe there was a mistake?" Yaoyorozu said reasonably.

Asui snorted and gestured to Mineta as he walked ahead with one crooked finger.

"That is a mistake. That - " She gestured at Izuku "is art."

Yaoyorozu's eyebrows shot up in surprise at the blatant statement. Before she could think of anything better to say Asui had already started off after Mineta. She followed with a shrug. She wouldn't have phrased it so meanly, but she didn't really disagree either.

Mineta had positioned himself at one end of Izuku's sprint, and as he rose from his push ups, Mineta yelled at him, and began throwing his Sticky Balls at the excercising youth.

"You freaking dick! You called us to help you train?! Didn't you just get wrecked like, yesterday?!"

Izuku didn't miss a beat. He hardly heard what the smaller boy said. He began zig zagging, leaping and dodging around the Sticky Balls as Mineta threw them, as he approached and the barrage became heavier he shot a foot out , kicking up a wave of sand that coated tuhe projectiles, making them ineffectual. With a final burst of speed he rolled to a stop in front of Mineta, a fist raised as though to strike the other boy. His face bore the seriousness he always had when facing adversity. It was the face he'd had when he'd chosen to jump into the water and help Asui. It was. . . scary, Mineta realized.As fast as it had come, Izuku's face returned to his normal timid expression. He dropped his hands to his sides and smiled at Mineta.

"Hey Mineta. How come you're here?"

"Yes Mineta. Do explain." a smiling Yaoyorozu said as she and Asui approached.

Izuku wasn't sure why but Mineta looked chilled by the question.

"Hey Asui, Yaoyorozu."

Asui's tongue had already half reached him before he'd finished speaking, but stopped and retracted before striking him.

"I told you to call me Tsu." she said, to Minetas eyes obviously flustered.

"I thought it was Tsuyu." he said poking fun at her.

She glared at him. A gesture he was pretty sure only he'd recognize. Tsu had the same range of emotions and responses everyone else had. Her physiology just meant many of them were rather subdued looking even at their most apparent.

Not that mattered. He was here with Yaoyorozu. Thay chick was a bombshell, and she never hit him either. He ignored Asui's eyes boaring into him and turned towards his date.

Only to find her bright red pointedly staring away from Midoriya as she handed him a towel and asked her about the details of her quirk.

Mineta was just kind of glad that Izuku was basically a moron outside of his obsession with Heros.

Several minutes later, having toweled off and put a shirt on, Izuku told him the reason he'd wanted to see Asui.

"So you can't turn into the frog one anymore?" Asui asked with some dissapointment. They'd been none too pleased by Minetas deception but had opted to make the most of it.

The four of them were sitting on a large beach towel listening to Izuku.

The night before he'd eventually gotten the Omnitrix to spit out a message on attempting to use Bullfrag.

*Bzzt* Admin1 has disallowed access to greater library.

He snorted. "Then why could I use him before?"

*Bzzt* Admin2 granted temporary access.

That was new. It usually just ignored his feeble attempts at voice commands.

He tried to push his luck.

"W-who are the admins?"

The omnitrix flash and the outline of Grey Matter Overlaying a strand of hair appeared.

The omnitrix had not responded to any more questions after that.

He didn't quite explain it that way to them. He preferred they assume the Omnitrix a tool foe helping with his quirk instead of the quirk itself.

"So, I wanted to see if being around A-Tsuyu would help."

Each of them had stripped off their outer clothes and was lounging in their swimsuits as they listened. Mineta wore a black and white striped one piece tank top and shorts. Asui wore what Izuku wouldnhave politely described as an umcomfortably tight wetsuit. Yaoyorozu wore a standard one piece white swimsuit, that she had simply formed under her clothes when they arrived.

It made him extremely uncomfortable. A certain degree of fitness was required in their program that meant they were both extremely attractive women. He was beginning to understand why someone like Mineta would try to get into this program.

He was snapped from his thoughts by Asui speaking.

"So. . .So the littlest pervert here tricked us?"

Izuku looked at her curiously. He still didn't know why so many of them had come to see him. He'd thought it was a simple request.

Mineta smirked at them and began "She only came cus I told her it was a d-"

He was stricken from the side by a Asui's tongue before he completed his sentence.

"d.. damn good opportunity to train!" he roared rubbing the back of his head.

Yaoyorozu was watching the spectacle unfold with one hand pinching the brow of her nose.

"I-it would be a wonderful opportunity to train with you." she said awkwardly covering for her friend.

"R-right! So I have a plan! Bro, when you went frog, you were pretty much on a suicide mission. You couldnt transform right?"

"Yeah. . ." Izuku took on a somewhat haunted look at that statement.

"So maybe its a fight thing? Like you can only do it when your in danger?"

"Maybe?"

That didn't feel quite right to Izuku. Close, but not but not quite right.

"So, lets play a game. We chase you around the beach. First one that gets you gets to order any one other person around for a day."

"That actually seems quite productive Mineta, I'd no idea-" Yaoyorozu's enthused voice fell awaybas she saw the looks on Asui and Minetas faces.

"And remember bro. You can't transform unless its to frog dude." Mineta declared.

"We all agree to the rules, and rewards right?" he continued his head turning towards Yaoyorozu with a hungry look, nostrils flaring.

For her part, Asui stared at Izuku like he was a fly trapped in amber.

Usually she would have declined immediately but Asui seemed inclined to participate and so, Yaoyorozu acquiessed.

The minute they all agreed, smiles on their faces, They all lept at Izuku, who rolled out of the way and reached down, throwing the towel and a goodly portion of sand up and in their way to obscure their vision.

He immediately sprinted for the breakwater, Twisted and rolling to avoid Minetas barrage of sticky balls and Asui's grasping tongue.

Yaoyorozu created a tremendous fan and with one sweep blew away the dust and debris everyone else was kicking up.

She also, she admitted privately, was trying to impede Mineta.

As he reached the breakwater, Izuku began jumping across them, following them along the narrow path to the gazebo at on end of the beach.

Whenever Asui would attempt to jump at him or lash out with her tongue, he would leap away, revealing a whole or crevace that she wouls have to rush to avoid being stuck in. Mineta, who was much smaller and slower than the others didn't catch up until Asui had cornered Izuku in the Gazebo, the two of them leaping too and fro like ninja in the enclosed space.

Creeping around behind them, Mineta waited for his chance and threw one of his sticky balls beneath Izuku as he jumped.

Asui too, had leapt and was on a crash course for him. Time slowed around Izuku, and he knew that this was it. This was the feeling he needed. The rush. He could feel just the barest hint of One for All flash through him, and without thought he slammed his hand down on the Omnitrix.

Bullfrag leapt from the emerald blaze that ensued, his tongue swinging him out of the way of both attacka and out into the water, where he'd have an advantage over -

His midsection was struck by an iron bar that, while not really hurting, double him over and left him sprawled in the ocean. Yaoyorozu threw a net over him before he could reorient and positively beamed down at him.

"Well shit baby, you got me good huh?"

She was slightly taken back by the change in address, but everyone was at least somewhat familiar with Izukus quirk by now - and so she paid it no mind.

Asui and Mineta stared on in annoyance.

When they finally returned home, they felt refreshed and ready, to prepare for the sports festival.
