Chapter Ten: What It Takes to Be a Hero
"Momo!" She heard her mother's voice over the phone, she could practically fear the worry in her. "Where have you been little one?"
"I apologize mother … I was with Izuku all day." She was nervous at what her mother's next words would be. She felt like her mother had a knife on the thread connecting her to Izuku and she could cut it at any moment. "We are at his home about to have dinner." The silence on the other side of a line was nerve racking.
"Momo, I'm just glad you're okay. I was worried that you shut yourself out again …" The memory of what happened with Sosuke and how she shut herself out from the world and her family came back to her mind. But it wasn't like the last time, she was really just enjoying Izuku and her's time together. Though maybe she did it to forget about the video.
"No mother, don't worry I'm not doing that. We just wanted to watch a few movies together." She did her best to hid the fact that they basically have been at it like lovebugs. Her heart was racing as she was taking a slow trek to the convenience store again.
"Little one, I knew right away once I saw that young man, he was special to you. Your father and I do not judge you at all." Her words were comforting and she always knew she could really hide anything from her mother. "Just be safe, and can we see you two tomorrow for brunch?"
"Yes, mother. We'll be there …" She felt a little of the weight lift from her chest. She was still a little nervous about her father. He was always over protective of her and she knew the troubles her parents had with conceiving a child from the stories of her parents. Tomorrow was going to be a tough day.
She was still lost in her thoughts as she was walking along until a faint sound could be heard to her left down the alleyway. It was strange since she could swear that she was alone there. She paused and looked down the alley, straining to see if she could see anyone there. She couldn't see if there was anyone there so she continued on but as soon as she turned, she saw man in front of her wearing a white mask with a purple cross taking the whole face side up. She could see in to the eyes of the person, and they looked so familiar to her.
She took a step back putting her arms up in front of her to hold up a guard. "W-Who are you?" The figure before took a step forward as she took another step backwards. She didn't get an answer from him other than him pulling out a weapon, she in returned made a bo staff of titanium alloy roughly about six and half feet long. The person dashed forward and she countered with a swing of the staff following up with a firm place kick to the abdomen sending the attacker back a few feet.
"Oh Yaomomo, always good with bojitsu. I should have remembered." The voice sounded so familiar as the villain spoke. She was sure it was that of man, teen maybe. But the name he called her was one only her friends from classed used. She looked over the villain again, it was hard to tell but his height must have been no more than five foot five inches. His was wearing all black with a hoodie. She was going to have to catch him first to find out more details.
"Stay back!" She took another guarded stance only to swung off guard by another dressed the same as the villain in front of her lounge for her. She spun the staff to jab him upwards and sling him forwards. There was two of them but they both looked identical.
"Sorry, once I lust after something … I just got to have it." He pulled his hood back to reveal a very familiar head. One of the balls popped off and morphed into a copy of him. Now there were three of them coming at her. "That's why I had to let that video out." He swung forward with his knife in hand, barely missing her cutting a few strands of hair off.
"Wait! Mineta!" She slid back a foot to make some distance between them. "Your quirk doesn't work like this … how?" Were all the words she could get out, she was too focused on her attacker.
She heard a very maniacal laugh, it was almost boastful as it filled the air. "Man, I thought you were a smart girl Yaomomo. Do you really think I submitted my actual quirk info to the school?" He jumped forward and threw a few sticky balls at her. She gracefully dodged each one to throw up her staff to block the blade of the incoming attack from one of the clones. He walked slowly over to her, "If I can't have what I want then slicing it up is the next best thing …"
She had a look of worry now on her face. There wasn't anyone in the area plus it was quite residential area. She had to think fast, what could she do in this situation? She had to stall a bit to come up with a sure plan. "Why are you doing this? I thought you wanted to be a hero?"
"Eh … you really do take things at face value. Like a true hero, you are just too trusting." Two more clones formed from his head. She was going to have to change her plan and lure him to a more crowded area. She needed some back up, and she really had no idea what his limits are.
She had to go for the direct attack, keep asking questions to keep his attention away. She pushed forward and did a wide sweep with the staff slamming into only one but instead of falling it turned into a sticky substance pinning the staff to the ground. She didn't have the strength to break it free, but she already had an idea of what the make-up of the substance was. She had to let go and make another one. The clones must have a durability limit and it seems once they break, they don't come back.
"I can see your sexy mind thinking out a win here, but that won't work. How do you think class 1-A was always under attack? Come on, use that brain of yours …" He started tapping the top of his mask gesturing to head. "It's a good thing Father needs you …"
"Wait, who is this Father?" Come on, keep him talking. He was bound slip up eventually, plus she could get some information she could pass on to the authorities.
"Oh, said too much …" He chuckled a bit, "You'll see soon enough, that is once I ravage your body…" She could feel the carnage in his voice, he was fully intent on raping her and without any knowledge of he could do, he had a full knowledge of all her skills and pitfalls. This fight was going downhill fast and she needed a way out. "You can't win Yaomomo!" More clones erupted from him heading straight for her.
She smirked, "You forgot my intellect was rated as an S-class!" She launched a large steel net to swing out to capture. She tore the sleeve off but as the net closed in, she thought she had him until she felt something knock her to the ground. "Shit …" She pushed out a huge metal shield pushing away whatever was behind her. But it was too late she was quickly pinned to the ground and couldn't move.
"There, so feisty … I love it. You and me are going to have some-" He was knocked several feet back to crashing into a wall.
"YOU FIEND!" it was the voice of Iida, she didn't know why he was here but she grateful for the help. "How dare you do that to a fellow classmate." He enhanced his speed she could keep up with him. She barely could see each blow, but she could see the look on his face. He looked furious but at the same time like he was directing his anger towards himself.
"Iida!" She yelled as she got to her feet, she started to change her plan now that Iida was there to help the chances of winning got much better. She formed another staff with a blade at the end to toss it in the direction of the Mineta she thought was the original one. She hit her target but it turned into that dark purple sticky substance. "Shoot, I was sure I kept track of the real one …"
"Man Iida, you want some too? Who knew you had such a fetish for sloppy seconds from Midoriya. Man, and you call me a perv." He started to throw sticky balls everywhere but Iida was swiftly dodging each one tossed in his direction. "You forgot I can move fast too, didn't you?" He started to bounce from one ball to the next quickening his pace, "Grape rush!"
Iida paused in his next attack to put up his guard covering his face. Mineta was bouncing around slashing him with a knife tearing up his clothes. "Damn it! I can't keep up." His brother's words flashed in his mind as his body took each blow. "Be the hero you want to be, Tenya…" He jumped up with enough force to blow the clones away and stop Mineta's attack. "I WON'T …" He swung his leg back with his engine quirk ignited and turning blue exhaust out. "I WON'T LET MY FRIEND GET HURT!" He remembered Midoriya's words … friends will always be there for each other. "RECIPRO TORNADO!" A huge cyclone came crashing down on his former classmate stopping him his tracks.
Momo looked on in marvel at Iida's new-found strength. It was incredible the amount of sheer force he produced, the wind was rushing around everywhere for a few moments as the attack subsided. She put her hands up to cover up her face from the blast. "Iida behind …" She was stopped by a blade at her throat and the feeling something piecing her arm.
"Relax sugar tits, it's just a quirk inhibitor drug. Now stay still I really would like to keep you alive. But if I have to slit that beautiful throat I will." His voice was eerily calm, his words weren't a threat but a promise to her.
"Damn, Yaoyorozu …" He was cut off by several clones stabbing him and then by their self-detonation causing the adhesive substance to cover him and immobilize him. Iida was stuck in this situation again, he was helpless. He couldn't save his classmate, he couldn't do anything. Was this his fate because of his transgressions? Tears started to flow out of his eyes as he had a front row seat to watching Mineta violate her body. It was disgusting and what was worse he couldn't do anything about it. The substance pinning him to the ground was far too strong for him to escape. "DAMN IT!"
It felt like he was crushed and beaten down until he heard those very familiar words in the air. "Detroit Smash!" the substance was blown off and he could finally be able to get up. Midoriya landed in front of Iida to help him to his feet. "Iida … you alright?" He hasn't seen the state of Momo yet.
Iida looked a little surprised by the wings he had but was more or less glad to him. "Sorry Midoriya I could protect her …" He knew of the close bond him and Yaoyorozu had. Deep down he was glad he found someone else and that he didn't destroy Midoriya's faith in finding love. "So, let me help … I don't care that you upset with me …" He wasn't getting a response from his classmate.
"Mo-Momo …" He caught sight of Mineta fondling her, he froze in place. His eyes widened as his former classmate actions only intensified. He clenched his fists so tight blood began to drip from them. "Let her go …" He whispered out. His mind and heart were in a state of fury his quirks were starting to activate, and a new one no one had seen started to activate. The ground started to shake and the metal in the area started to move up in the air, almost hovering a bit.
"Midoriya!" Iida called out as his friend shot forward fiercely grabbing the shorter man and pulling him off Momo only to slam him into the ground on the opposite side of her. Izuku's face was one of fury, he wasn't thinking straight at the moment. Green static energy flowed around his body as he held a fist in the air ready to strike.
"Go ahead Midoriya … strike me down …" Mineta still had a very calm look on his face, unchanged by the immense power Izuku was generating. "Kill me … become the next wrath …" Izuku was pulling his fist higher getting ready to deliver a lethal blow to the fellow teen. Momo saw the look in his eyes, he was ready to kill Mineta.
"No! Izuku, don't … please calm down…" Her words weren't reaching him. He looked ready to kill, the steam from his Radiation quirk was coming off his body. He looked like he was going to explode at any moment.
"How dare you touch her …" his voice was steady and deep causing Mineta to take swallow and prepare for the blow that was about to come. But as he was about to deliver the powerful punch down to him Iida hit Midoriya with a strong blow to the head knocking him out of his trance and destroying any of the clones around them.
"Well that was fun …" Mineta started to turn to a goo and fade away. "Until next time Midoriya …" The voice echoed in the air. The fight was over and all that was left as a green-haired teen face down in the ground slowly coming out of his trance though his face was marked with a stern look. Momo couldn't look away, she didn't want to step back either. She knew if she did it would scar him beyond anything she could possibly imagine.
"Hmph … he got away," Iida looked over to a frighten Momo. She wasn't scared for herself, but at Izuku on the ground. He was awake but he wasn't moving just yet. Midoriya closed his eyes letting the anger he was feeling dissipate away from him. The stern look he had finally dropped.
His wings started to twitch and he started to get up rubbing his head. Iida's kick was so strong it managed to break a cheek bone and heavily bruise the left side of his face. "Izuku …" She helped him to his feet and looked him over but it was futile since his regeneration quirk started to kick in and erase the damage. She looked down to notice his hoodie she was wearing was shredded, she just started to take it off without a care that Iida was there or that she was in public. Iida promptly turned around and Izuku folded a wing around her for some privacy. She then forgot her quirk was not working at the moment. "Crud, I forgot he hit me with a quirk suppressant." She let out a sigh and looked over to see Izuku was handing her his shirt. "Thank you, Izuku…" Once she was fully covered, he pulled his wing away. She looked back to him and he seemed to be a little bit more composed now.
Iida walked over to his former friend but before he could say anything Izuku hit him hard with a punch. Momo was about to complain or scold him but Iida put his hand in the air. "No, it's okay Yaoyorozu … I had that one coming …" When she looked over to Izuku he was smiling. He was actually smiling, she didn't think she would see it again after everything that went down.
"Sorry … Iida …" before he could finish, he hugged his friend. "Thank you for being there for Momo …" They seemed to share a bro moment for quite bit longer than they must have thought. It was actually quite endearing to watch. She couldn't say if those two have fully reconciled but it look as though they had a good start to rebuilding that bridge between them.
"Ahem … Iida … may I have my boyfriend back?" She smiled a bit. As she watched them separate in an embarrassed fashion.
"Midoriya …" Iida was formally bowing to him, "I am sorry for everything I did. I betrayed your trust in me as a friend and fellow classmate."
"Iida, I forgave you a while ago, I just didn't know how to go about actually talking to you. And to be honest if it wasn't for that night, I don't think I would be where I am now. Don't get me wrong I'm still angry and part of me doesn't want you even close to Momo. But …" Iida rose up to his words. "I think I want our friendship back …"
Izuku doubled over, his stomach was growling again, he used a lot of stamina and hasn't had a chance to really fully heal from the first fight days ago. "I guess we need to get takeout instead huh?" Momo couldn't hold back a giggle. Despite how serious that fight was and what could have gone down, having him here with her always made her look to the brighter side of things.
"I'll report things to the authorities," Iida turned to look over to Midoriya, "You two should get back home …" He pulled out his phone to make the call to police. They had new information about a lot of things, but the main one was that Mineta was now a villain and was the traitor in U.A. they have been looking for all these years.
"Iida … thank you …" Midoriya reached out to his friend. Iida grabbed his hand in a firm shake. It was good to see the two friends start to mend their friendship again.
[ A ]
Mineta stood up on a Highrise building far away with a bit of disappointment. It was hoping to be able to capture Yaoyorozu. His aspect of Lust was pushing him to covet her body. He just had to take her. He heard a familiar sound of a quirk being used behind him. He was too pissed to turn to see who it was.
"You failed … haven't you?"
The deep voice was filling the air despite the wind from the height they were at. He knew who this was and a nervous fear took over him. He still couldn't turn around, the possibility of failure meant death in the Brotherhood.
"No … Father …" He was trying to keep his nervous tone in check. "I still will bring her to you."
"I'm sure you will …" with those words the presence left but still leaving a lingering feeling of dread in the air. The dread of failure. Mineta knew the time was drawing closer and they had to acting out their parts. He wasn't going to be written off like Kira.
[ A ]
They made it back to his apartment and luckily there was place close by to order something, granted it was fast food but they did have some slightly better options for Izuku. He was placing the bag with their order on the counter. He had a solemn look on his face as he did it. Something was clearly bothering him. She walked over to rest a hand on his back causing him to jolt out of his thoughts and flinch a bit at her touch.
"Izuku …" She was hesitant to ask, but she could feel what he was thinking. She didn't know how that was possible but she had a strong since as what he thinking and feeling right now. "Are you upset about controlling your anger?" Did it happen to be related to what Mineta had said about becoming the next wraith?
"Well not upset, but frustrated that you had to see that side of me …" He rested his hands on the counter after he spoke those words. His mind looked like he was over thinking everything. And it didn't help that Mineta was threatening to rape her in front of him. If the roles were reversed and a woman did that to him, she would feel the same way.
"Izuku, it's okay …" she wrapped her hands around his torso and pressed herself against his back. "You can relax … I'm here with you …" She felt his heart slowly drop to a regular beat. He was nervous or upset about it. She needed to show him that his fears where over nothing.
"Momo … when he grabbed you …" He let out a sigh but his voice was still a little shaky as he continued. "I thought he was, he had every intent of doing the things he said to you. When he started to …" He was debating which words to use, she remained quiet to let him finish. He needed to get it out and be open about what is on his mind. "Touch you, I was filled with so much anger it was blinding. You told me what Sosuke did to you, I just couldn't let that happen again."
She slowly turned him to face her. He had his eyes closed and she could see at the corner of his eyes that he was doing his best to fight the tears. She cupped his cheeks and gently, and as softly as she could place a kiss on his lips. She when she pulled away a bit so she could see more of him. His tears started to flow once they locked eyes on each other. She let her thumb rub the side of his cheek wiping the stream of tears off. It was gentle circular motion, as she tried to calm him down. "Izuku, if you think that will chase me away then you are most certainly wrong."
She looked right into his eyes, the torrent of emotions she saw in them looked like it was ending. But which one was going to win out? She could only wait patiently for him to respond to her. He didn't say words though, he just pulled one of hands down a bit to gently place a kiss on her knuckles. "Momo … I just have this fear that you will be taken away from me … I know it doesn't make sense …" He couldn't know how much sense his words made to her. She was fearing the same thing, that there might be a day that he could be taken from her. She was feeling the same thing, she feared her love for him wouldn't be enough to keep him here with her. She knew it was a deep-seated fear that was trying to take root. She felt him wrap his arms around her and pull her close to him.
It became very quiet in the room. The only sound she could hear was his breathing as he was making a steady sound. She wrapped her hands around his back slowly rubbing her hands up and down. All she could think about was what would she do if she couldn't feel his warmth anymore. That was a truly terrifying thought. "Come on Izu, let's eat before it gets cold." She was smiling as she took in a breath filled with his earthy scent.
"Yeah … I suppose so. I'm sorry I don't mean to worry…" She cut him off quickly by placing her fingers on his mouth before he could continue.
"If you say you're sorry one more time …" she paused on her words, she didn't want to make this threat to him but it was going to be the only way to make him stop. "I won't sleep with you for week!" She crossed her arms over her chest while she saw a look of shock, almost dread splattered across his face. She couldn't help let a smirk grace her lips at his reaction.
"W-What! That's not fair Momo." He gave a sultry look after his whine, "Besides I know you can only hold out so long …" He leaned in a bit, but she refused to break under him.
"You think you can beat me? Fine, whoever breaks tonight will buy dinner tomorrow, deal?" She waited for his answer.
"Deal …" He leaned in further to whisper into her ear, "Let's see who breaks first …" The voice was so low and deep she almost lost it right then and there. But her resolve was stronger than that. He chuckled as he pulled away to see her classic pout on her face. "I need to use the bathroom, I'll be back in a bit." He walked down the hall and disappeared from sight.
"Hmph … I won't lose!" She turned around and went about unpacking the food out of the boxes onto the table. She noticed her quirk was active again and while he wasn't there, she made a thin strapped tank top, took off her bra and put the top on. "He can't resist this." She smiled as she took a seat at the table with everything they needed. She was determined win this.
She thought her game plan was a good one until she saw him come back into the room wearing nothing but a pair of sweat pants that were hanging dangerously low. She could clearly see every inch of his stomach right down to v-cut in his waist. She could even swear she caught a glimpse of his member, just the beginning part of its base. She blinked really fast and she didn't see it so it must have been in her mind. She wasn't regretting this game, but both of them were competitive and wanted to be the winner. "Crap, why does he have to look so good!" Was only thought that was circling in her mind.
Once he sat down and got a little closer view of her, he could see she had changed tops while he was away. His eyes turned downwards a bit to see she clearly wasn't wearing a bra and the top looked a little on the thin side. He wasn't going to back down now. He had to keep his eyes focused on the food and off her chest if he was going to have a chance to win. He already started to feel a tension in his groin.
She saw how he was trying to stay composed in front of her. She knew how strong his determination was, so she was going to have to tease him a little to get an advantage here. She wanted the bucket of rice that was in front of him but instead of asking him she leaned forward to grab the box. Once she looked up, she saw him quickly advert his gaze. She knew the low cut of her top was hanging enough for him to get a full view.
She sat back down with a smile of triumph. She went about eating her food. She looked back up to see he had a little pink hue on his cheeks, it was time to step up the steaks. She lifted her leg up a bit to start to rub his with her foot. She did the action slow but quick, catching a sigh from him.
She watched him get up and that when she saw his play, it was clear he wasn't wearing any underwear himself. The loose fabric of his pants clearly allowed the outline of his equipment. It wasn't fully erect yet but the outline was tempting enough for her to want to grab it. She had to mentally hold herself back as she watched him go into the kitchen. Once he turned to reach into a cabinet that's when she saw another temptation from him. His butt was looking really good to her now that she can't grab it.
She watched as he pulled out two glasses and filled one up with water to take a quick sip of it. She watched out of the corner of her eye, she didn't want him to see her staring and lose her composure. She watched as each muscle contorted with each action. He looked over to her with a smirk, "Would you like something to drink love?" She looked fully over to him and saw the moist remnants of the water left on his mouth and suddenly could only think of is him going down on her. She had to quickly turn around, "If you could get me a glass of soda please?" She placed her hand over her mouth as she finished chewing while looking away. Her insides were starting to heat up. It was only a few moments in and he was pushing her buttons.
"No problem …" He quickly came back to the table with their drinks. She was scooping her food a little faster trying not to focus on him as his gorgeous body. She didn't realize that she dropped a bit on her bosom. She didn't know how close her was until she heard his voice right next to her. "Need some help?" He bent down and all she saw was his messy dark green hair in front of her. She could feel her pulse start to go faster until she felt his tongue lick off the spot of food. Her skin formed goose bumps from just the simple action, she started to rub her thighs together a bit in an effort to work out some of the tension she was feeling.
She took a minute to reopen her eyes to see he was already across from her again. She stared him down while pouting at his actions. He wasn't being fair. She could feel her body tingle all over. She was becoming unwound in front of him. "No fair …" She whispered out.
He smirked back at her, but little did he know that the results of his actions would be the start of his down fall. Her body was betraying her, her body was getting ready for him. She could feel the heat pooling in her groin as her nipples started to erect under the fabric of the top. She could feel the goosebumps forming all over her body but her will was strong. She refused to give in to those urges. The logic side of her mind was still trying to stay focused on the meal in front of her, determined to win their bet. However, the other side of her mind was screaming for her to jump him or for him to just take her and break the seal.
He too was quickly eating, trying to stay focused on fulfilling the hunger he had but his mind was hungry for something else. He was now feeling a hard pull in his pants. It was becoming almost painful for him to ignore it. Every movement of her caused him to silently squirm in his seat. He was beginning to fidget a bit, his body wanted nothing more than to claim her. He couldn't take the tension too much longer. He looked up again to take a quick gaze at her like it cure what his body was craving. What he saw was too much for him to bare, he could see she was clearly just as flustered and ready as he was.
He got up from his seat while keeping his eyes closed, he had to admit defeat to her. She looked up at him as he let out a long exhale, "You win Momo …" As soon as he spoke, he scooped her off the chair to carry her bridal style, walking towards his bedroom. As soon as they made this bet, their bodies became the number one thing they each craved. "I'll get dinner, if I can have you now …" He placed her on the bed gently letting her body fill the bed. Her hair gracefully laid out over the sheets.
She couldn't think of anything to say, she wanted to say a witty retort to him but she was wanting this badly too. They had all night to enjoy each other. She had him here with her, her worries were for nothing. The talk with Uraraka had her on edge all day, she wanted to take him and make sure the world knew who he belonged to. She wanted the world to know who she belonged to. Her hands slowly felt their way up to his shoulders, she loved how strong each muscle looked and felt, she loved how safe she felt in his arms, she loved how when she looked into his eyes, she could feel how much he cherished her. She could see everything he held for her in those deep emerald eyes of his. She knew she couldn't deny him anything.
[ A ]
He opened his eyes to grey mist of debris drifting in the air. He was trying to get his bearings as to what had happened. Was it a villain attack? Why does everything look so familiar? He walked forward a bit feeling his body was in pain and was shaking from an attack he must have withstood. But he could focus on it for some reason, his mind was worried about something else.
He started to look frantically in every direction. He felt his was looking for something so important to him. He could feel his heart quicken but he could hear his voice call out. There was no sound he could hear. He continued to stumble through the debris and rubble hoping he would find what he was searching for. He saw other heroes in the distance start moving around either coming out of the rubble or looking for those to save. It must be a disaster zone, but he didn't specialize in rescue work so why was he here?
He kept going feeling others try to stop him. He didn't know why; did he need medical attention? Was the area still dangerous? He didn't know and he didn't care, he was looking for something very important to him. Something he held close to his heart and always feared of one day losing. He kept going pushing rubble out of his way, the blood was dripping from his body but he didn't care. He didn't care that his regeneration quirk was not working at the moment. He felt the pain from every step he took, but the was a building pain in his heart slowly getting greater in its size and weight. He had to find what he was looking for soon.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he came across what he was looking for. It was Momo and she was lying on the ground completely motionless. He fell to his knees the instant he saw her. How could this have happened? He felt her pulse but he couldn't feel anything. He felt her body was cold and lifeless in his arms. He slowly cradled her closer to him as if he was trying to warm her up. His voice was still long gone. Terror was filling his mind and body, he could focus on anything but her face. He kept looking at her hoping she would suddenly come to.
His light in this world was gone, taken from him. He was shattering, his body was shaking with fear, fury, sadness, anger, and the weight of a broken soul. He didn't know what to do anymore. He looked around for help but no one came to him. Finally, he heard his voice, "You can't leave me …" Was all he could hear himself say. His vision was becoming blurry with the overflowing tears from his eyes. He clenched her body tighter, he didn't want to let go. It felt like yesterday that they were still sharing happy moments in their lives.
He cursed everyone, he cursed God for doing this to him. He cried out into the air causing all the heroes to stop in their tracks. He was about to look down again when heard his name clearly, but who could be calling him by his first name. He didn't recognize the voice. His vision was now blocked by bright light that filled everything. He couldn't see where he was anymore.
Izuku started to open his eyes to the sunlight and he faintly heard her voice. He turned his head to the side to see her there. His cheeks felt wet as if he was crying. It was a dream he finally realized, a very terrifying one. He slowly turned as his eyes adjusted to the light in the room. He saw her clear as day now, she was completely fine. She was right there with him. Why did he dream something like that? It must be because of the fears he was holding in.
"Izu… is everything …" he cut her off by embracing her tightly. She must have woken up first and saw him going through the dream. It was must have worried her. He felt her warmth and never have been so relieved to feel it. It was gentle like a blanket wrapping around him. He could still feel how cold her body was in the dream like it had happened in real life. He rolled her over onto her back and pushed back enough to look into her eyes. The tears were still flowing slowly from his eyes as he was picturing a world without her in it.
"I don't …" He could make any words. All he cared about was that she was here, with him and very much alive. He felt her hand cup his cheek as he looked into her onyx eyes. He could see that she was feeling what he felt, they didn't need words right now to describe anything to each other. "It was … I dreamt that I lost you …" He saw her stiffen at his words. "Momo … I can't … I don't know …" He tightly clenched the bed sheets until his knuckles turned white from the tight forceful action.
She pulled him down close to her resting his head on her chest. He could hear her steady heart beat with each pulse it did. It was comforting to him, he was lost in its sound barely making out her words as she spoke. "Hear that … my heart will always beat for you my dear Izuku." She ran her hand through his hair slowly as she let the other one run down his back. He was shaking still but was slowly calming down.
He lifted himself back up to look back her. His tears were still flowing softly allowing a few droplets to land on her. She had a glow to her almost ethereal as it wrapped around her, her hair was shining in the light, she was an angel. He was a demon, must of his life he was pushed away by everyone. Everything about him didn't deserve angel like her to shine into his life. But he didn't want to let her go, she was here giving him a reason to be here, to stay in this life. She said she was going to be here with him through everything. "Momo … you're an angel" He saw her own tears form as soon as he spoke those words. "I'm a demon who fell for an angel …" He last words were barely a whisper.
He leaned to kiss her, it was long and passionate. Everything he wanted to give her was in that kiss, every ounce of love he had for her was being pushed through. He felt her hands cup his cheeks again. They kept going not caring for lack of breath each had, stealing from each other. They both were naked from the night before, he wanted to make love to her. It felt like it was going to be the last time he was going to be able to. When he finally was able to break away, he could see her lips were swollen from each kiss. "Momo … may I … have you … I need …"
"Izu I will always be here for you …" He didn't hesitant, he kissed his way down her neck. Each movement granting a soft moan from her. He was entranced by her sweet vanilla scent, the way her pale skin shined in the morning light, he wanted no one else to touch this beauty in his life but him. He slowly pushed in with a gentle thrust, slowly take in the feeling of having her sex wrap around his. He watched her close her eyes as she took in the feeling of him entering her. He started a very slow pace with each thrust. Each thrust meeting a kiss. Everything was in slow motion as if they wanted to savior every second, they had with each other. He felt her hands caress every inch of his back. She let out faint gasps each time he pulled back a little. Watching her was driving him crazy, each motion was causing a beautiful symphony to play out before his eyes. The way her body moved in response to his, the motion of her breasts following the rhythm of their passion just was simply mesmerizing to him. She opened her eyes to look into his, the deep onyx eyes that showed only love for him.
She wasn't afraid of him, she didn't shun him, she only had love for him. She wanted him there, she never wanted him to leave, she never found him useless. She was there to pull him back if the darkness came for him. How he couldn't give her anything was lost from his mind. There was no rational reason, but she was here with him. He leaned in to kiss her again with another slow push into her as deep as he could go. It was enough to let them both feel the release of the tension. He felt her shiver with each spasm she had as his body did the same filling her with every ounce he could muster.
He was finally able to relax a bit as his body was settling down from the wave of pleasure, he felt course through it. He almost wanted to go back to sleep but her voice pulled back to the waking world. "Izu I don't want to ruin the mood, but I told my parents that we would meet for brunch if that's okay …" He wrapped his arms around her, snaking on under right arm to push under the pillow while his other arm went over her left arm as he rested his head on it.
"It's fine Momo, I would be happy to meet your parents more formally." He sighed out a breath to help calm himself. "What time is it now?" He mumbled into the pillow.
She reached over to the nightstand to grab her phone from the charger. She ignored the messages from the girl talk chat to look at the time, it was seven thirty in the morning. They had a bit of time before they had to meet her parents. "It's only 7:30, they want to meet at 10am…" She scrolled through her notifications and just ended up clicking on the chat all the girls shared. It was filled with the usual stuff, anyone asking about each other's dates and/or significant others. Though they did discuss some important things like where they were going for an internship. She pulled her phone a bit closer to respond to everyone, she let out a gasp as Izuku moved a bit since he was still inside her.
[Momo] "Good morning everyone!"
[Jiro] "Hey Yaomomo, wasn't expecting you to be up this early since you spent the whole day with Midoriya ;)"
[Momo] "Kyoka! I don't know what you mean!"
[Ashido] "OMG! Yaomomo spent the night with Midoriya! Dish Dish Dish!"
[Hagakure] "Yes, tell us!"
[Momo] "No! Do I have to share?"
[Ashido] "Of course! Yaomomo you listened on everything for two years, you're not getting out of this one!"
[Asui] "We shouldn't push Yaoyorozu if she feels uncomfortable"
[Hagakure] "Yeah I know but she was heard all the details our escapades, its only fair."
Momo was regretting entering into this chat. She really didn't want to say anything about what her and Izuku shared in their private life. Why do they have to be so intrusive on everyone's relationships? She was still riding out the after effects of their love session. She kissed his shoulder softly as she looked at her phone deciding if she should continue in this conversation. She thought if they wanted something, she was going to show them something. She turned on the forward-facing camera to snap a picture of her with him on top of her. His arms were folded around the top of her head, and his dark green hair messy from her hands was resting on her left side barely in view of the picture. Just everything above her nose was visible as she was looking straight at the camera.
[Momo] PIC SENT
[Momo] "Since you ladies insist, here you go. Please don't share this to anyone. I only want you guys to stop hounding me for details! Okay?"
[Jiro] "Of course, not one of us let this leave their phones, right?"
[Asui] "We would never do that to you Yaoyorozu."
[Ashido] "Awe! You two are so cute! What's in girl chat, stays in girl chat!"
[Jiro] "Wow, it looks like knock Midoriya into next week."
[Hagakure] "I bet you're a happy gal!"
[Ashido] "She has to be! She got to taste that body of his, she is on cloud nine right now."
[Momo] "Yes I am. :)"
[Jiro] "It's about time! I don't know if I could've taken another late talk about the What ifs with Midoriya."
[Jiro] "Yaomomo are you free today?"
[Momo] "Well about to have brunch with my parents, but after that I'm free! You still have to tell me about your date Friday night with Kaminari."
With that she closed the screen on her phone and listened to the all the messages coming through. She knew she passed the hot seat to Jiro who probably was squirming right now to come up with answers. And knowing Ashido and Hagakure it was going to be a never-ending sequence of questions.
"Did you just take a picture of us?" Izuku mumbled out before he started to get up and lift himself off of her.
"Y-yes …" she looked back him a little sheepishly trying to hid her face a bit with he hands. He just chuckled and kissed her forehead as finally got up from the bed and stretched a bit. "I'm sorry, shouldn't have shared such a private moment with them …" She whispered feeling a little worried about his reaction. She should've have done that.
"It's okay, I'm sure our classmates won't do anything with bad intents. I'm going to take a shower really quick." He seemed a bit better, maybe he was over the bad dream he had. She didn't want pry him on it, if he wanted to, he will tell her about it. Right now, she needed to get ready to meet her parents with Izuku and it was a good thing she was here and left a spare set of clothes for herself yesterday. Sometimes it was good that she always planned ahead.

Tsukauchi was sitting in his office this morning. He was reviewing the recent police reports he got this morning. He could tell it was going to be a long day. His desk was filled with old and new files, trying to make sense of everything was becoming a bit troublesome for him. His main focus was on the Brotherhood. Not much was known about them other than the incident a few days ago involving U.A. students.
He let out a sigh while reaching for his coffee sitting at the edge of his desk. He grabbed another file with a label of Yaoyorozu. It was about a tape regarding a very private moment being filmed without knowledge of the two individuals. It seemed simple enough and more of minor issue considering the magnitude of the other cases on his desk. Once he opened it, he saw a new report added in it along with a sketch of a possible suspect. Then as he looked down, he saw the familiar word again, The Brotherhood.
This was starting to become surreal. The common denominator in all the events involving the Brotherhood was Momo Yaoyorozu. Why was she at the center of everything so far. Where they after her? What were they planning? It has to do with her quirk. He quickly typed her name into the quirk registry data base. It didn't take too long for the profile to pull up.
Yaoyorozu, Momo
Height: 5'8"
Blood type: A
Born: September 23, 2186
Quirk: Creation – can create any non-living object from the lipids in her body
Passive Body adaptations: Brain has higher than normal synaptic connections resulting in higher intelligence, I.Q. est. 416(last known test)
That was all that was listed, she was at eighteen years old turning nineteen this year. She was gifted with an incredible quirk. She has to have something to do with what the Brotherhood is after. He decided to see if there was anything else in the files on the Brotherhood in the police data base. It looked like the computer was going to take a bit of time to find the results he requested. They years of reports and files stored in the data base, to be precise roughly about three hundred years' worth of recorded data.
He took another sip of his coffee, going back to the Yaoyorozu file. The suspect was listed as a U.A. student and the one who was the traitor. In the report it stated that the former student admitted to being the spy with in the school. Also, his quirk was used significantly different than how it was listed in the registry. The name listed was Minoru Mineta. Not much was listed in the file about other than that.
Breaking him from his thoughts was an alert from his terminal showing the results he was looking for. There were some entries in there, between 1981 and 1985, as well as one entry that was directing him to the secure police building storing the older hard copy archived files. He would have to make a trip there, but he would have to get clearance to get them. Apparently, the files were sealed away and labeled as classified. Things were getting interesting now.

Momo and Izuku were on the train heading to a place he hasn't heard of before called Mastori's. When she mentioned it, he could see she was pretty excited about heading there even if it was to meet her parents. He was still a little nervous and to add to it that weird dream he had with losing Momo was causing knots to form in his stomach. He didn't want to talk about it just yet, he played it off as just internal fears he had to get over. So, he had to turn his attention to meeting with her parents. Yes, they already met, but this is a more formal meet the parents. Also, it was in a fancy restaurant, but he should have known nothing is small with the Yaoyorozu family. So, he was just going to have to endure it.
He looked over to Momo in the seat next to him. She had her hair back in the trademark spiky ponytail she always sported. No matter how she looked, dressed, or appeared to him he could help but to be awe struck by her. He didn't know what to make of it. He wasn't allured by what every other guy was drawn to her by, but it was her graceful features. The soft line of nose matching with her cheeks all being pulled together with her soft and pale skin. She looked like an artist had sculpted her from clay and breathed life into her.
Everything about her was perfect. Did he see her that way because he loved her? Did it really matter? He didn't realize how long he was staring until the lady across from him let out a soft giggle she was trying to cover up with her hand. Momo opened her eyes to look around to see he was looking away with a bit of blush on his cheeks. He looked out the window while scratching the other side of his cheek.
"Oh! This is our stop! Come on Izuku!" She jumped up while pulling him along. He still had a bit of a flustered look to him as they exited the train. He could hear the other passengers giggle and chuckle in their antics as they left the train.
"Easy Momo … there's no rush …" He was rubbing the back of his head with his nervous twitch.
"Er … I-I know … it's just I'm excited to take you there, and plus …" she started to trail off a bit and her words began to fall on a whisper.
He looked around to see that the shops here were a bit higher end and realized he was beginning to feel a bit out of place here. Looking around he could see the amount of luxury cars parked on the street. Even still there was a decent amount of people around too, he figured she must want to do some shopping after brunch. "I guess you want to spend some time shopping to huh?" Bingo, he hit it on its head, she was turning a little pink in her cheeks again.
She turned to him to smile, "Well, a little bit. If you don't mind that is …"
"Anytime I get to spend with you is always worth it …" Her eyes widened a little bit at his words stopping her in her tracks. She was getting flustered again. He was enjoying the effect his words were having on her. She was just too adorable when she tried to hide her blushing.
She pulled him along a little bit more allowing them finally reach the restaurant. It looked more rustic than fancy, he wasn't expecting that. As they got closer, he saw a person standing by the entrance into the restaurant. It must be the host to the place. She ran up to the man standing there, he quickly felt the warmth leave his hand and feeling a little bit disappointed by it.
"Hello, we are here for the Yaoyorozu party." Her voice was extremely calm and polite. She was very good at hiding her excitement and keeping a graceful demeanor.
"Excellent, we have been expecting you … right this way." The older gentleman steadily spoke to them.
"Thank you …" She looked back to him and placed her hands on his bicep as they followed the man into the restaurant. His nervousness was returning again as they were walked to the back of the room to see a booth on wall with her parents already seated. The u-shaped booth did make things a little easier. Momo slide in taking the seat closer to her mother as he took the outer seat.
If he was honest with himself this was a little bit better. But at the same time, he was directly across Mr. Yaoyorozu which could be a bit worse. "Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Yaoyorozu, it's nice meeting you again." He looked over to see Mrs. Yaoyorozu smiling at him and she looked like she had gotten over her worries, did she worry about him and why he was with her daughter.
"Good morning young man and my little one," Momo's mother greeted them as her father was taking another sip from his cup. "You two look well." Her mother was all pleasantries while her father was going to get straight to the point.
"Midoriya, what are you plans for the future?" He placed his cup down on the table gently as spoke toward him. That was an intense question to ask him, he still was sorting out what he was going to do himself. But one thing was for sure, he was going to become a hero and fight to stay by Momo's side.
"I want to be a hero who can help and save everyone…" He looked straight forward at the older man, his resolve was remaining strong. This was something he had to do, it was an obstacle he would jump to stay with Momo. "And … I want to be someone you see as worthy of your daughter." Her mother quickly gasped and covered her mouth. Both parents were shocked at his words, but more so in the serious tone and display of his face toward them.
"Oh, my dear, look how determined he is. I don't think you are going to scare him away." Izuku felt Momo's hand sneak over his. He looked over to see her look wondrously happy. He finally saw it in her eyes, the true love she was always telling him was there.
"Glad to hear it lad!" The man had jubilant expression on his face. "Oh, to be young and in love again!" He smiled over to the teens to see both of them turn bright red in the face. He was satisfied that he was able to get the two young ones flustered so easily. "Do you plan on going to a university or straight into hero work?"
"Well sir, I honestly don't know. My whole life my mother worked hard but I knew we wouldn't be able to afford it so I didn't give it much thought. I always assumed that I would have to get to work right after U.A." It was a true statement, though he should be able to afford it now with what All Might had left him in a way of inheritance. It wasn't the wealth like the Yaoyorozu family but it was more than enough to live comfortably and be able to the things he wanted.
"Don't sell yourself short, I hear that your rank is second in the class in academics as well as top in all the hero practical assessments …" Sarubatore confidently spoke out. The more he listened to Midoriya speak about himself the more he admired the young man. Momo couldn't have picked a better suitor in his opinion. This young man was way better than those young men his peers put in front of his daughter. They only wanted her for the wealth of the family and for her beauty. To them she was just a trophy to be coveted, but not to the teen before him.
Midoriya saw her as an equal. He was attracted to her mind and abilities first. Of course, they were teens and all those hormones swirling in them, but it wasn't just lust, he could feel that someone finally came along to cherish his daughter. It was a relieving feeling to finally see that there was a young man like this in the next generation.
"Thank sir … I don't know what to say …" His voice started to soften a bit. This was not what he was expecting. But he was feeling grateful that it wasn't going to be as stressful as it could've been. He just had to remain focused on staying calm. Luckily for him the waiter came up to take their orders while following behind them was a server bringing a platter of fruit, breads, and other common morning foods.
"Is everyone ready to order?" He firmly spoke to the group.
"Oh, I'm fine with just another cup of Earl Grey tea." Anjera politely responded to the waiter. She looked over to Momo who was still in a bit of a trance staring over at the young green-haired teen. "Little one, would like to order something?"
Momo quickly snapped out of her flustered trance and looked towards the waiter. "Oh yes, my apologies. My I have a stuffed French Toast with a blueberry topping a long with some Imperial Gold Leaf Black Tea please." She looked over to Izuku, he was looking a little nervous about ordering, "Izuku … you can order whatever you like."
"Oh … r-right…" He looked over towards the waiter, "May I have an order of steak and eggs with a stack of pancakes please." It sounded like a lot of food and it was for most people but he had to maintain this enormous appetite and calorie intake. However, he was still a little bit embarrassed by always ordering large portions.
"I guess you need a lot for a growing young man. I guess we should expect you getting taller then?" Momo's mother softly spoke out in a jokingly manner, "Dear, would you like the usual?" Sarubatore only nodded in agreement to his wife.
"Very good, enjoy and your order will be out momentarily …" And with that the group was left to themselves again. Izuku was trying not to fidget in his seat, he didn't know when he did but it happened. He had already interlaced his hand with Momo's. She was talking to her mother, catching her up on everything with class and some other things he guessed were related to their family. That left he with her father again.
"So young lad, can we talk about something a bit more serious?" The air went tense and the two ladies turned to the look at the two men. The silence lingered a bit in the air. "I wanted to go over the medical results, I have some questions for you if you don't mind."
Izuku could swear he was sweating bullets, what was it he wanted to know? Did her father find out about One for All? But he couldn't ignore the request of his elder, he would just have to carefully answer the questions while keeping the more pertinent information out. "No sir, I don't mind …" He really didn't mind, he was curious about a more technical look at his abilities would only help as well as if he wanted Momo in his life she deserves to know this side about him.
"Okay lad, analyzing the data I have to conclude that your regeneration quirk is always active." He took another sip of his tea as he continued. "It is the glue that is binding you together as were. Which explains the massive amount of calorie intake you need."
"Wait, what are you saying father?" Momo was getting a little nervous. Both her and her father shared the same genius level intellect. She already had an idea of where this conversation was going.
"In essence, your multiple quirks are literally pulling your body apart. It is important that you understand that." He let out a breath and began to smile a bit as he continued. "However, I believe your body is adapting to it which brings me to my next question. How long can you maintain quirk to be active?"
"Well I use my strength enhancing the most, and I can use that about 5 minutes continuously before deactivating it. Other than my wings, the others are harder to control and some only come when I lose control over my composure." He honestly answered Momo's father.
"Okay, that explains a lot. Tell me can you simultaneously activate multiple quirks at a time?" Her father was asking good question that could get a great deal of information out of him. He didn't know where he was going with his inquiries.
"I don't sir, the few times I have, I lost control so I never trained or attempted to learn how either…" He started to feel a little defeated. Maybe he should have trained harder and learned to use more than one power at once. He felt he wasn't living up what All Might saw in him. He needed to change that.
"I see … Then it is good that the next bit news I will give you will help you immensely. But I fear I will break my poor daughter's heart." Her father's overly dramatic antics over shown here, Izuku thought he was going overboard a bit by putting his forearm over his head while looking up. "Young lad, both your teachers, Gang Orca, and myself believe you need this training. So, you will be training with Gang Orca for six months in a classified location that only a few know of." Izuku stiffened at those words and then Momo looked a little fearful of it as well. "You will leave Friday to begin …"

Iyasu was looking over the data he had collected as well as what Mr. Yaoyorozu gave him. The wealthy man worked fast and pulled him into a private company solely dedicated to aiding Midoriya in whatever he needs. And to be honest he didn't mind, he was rather curious about the young man from the start.
He finally had the full DNA analysis completed and was digging in through the notes. The teen's Quirk factor was through the roof. There has been a theory presented a while ago in the medical community of what is called Primordial Quirk. The idea connects to that quirks were an outside force introduced to humanity. Though some ventured it was a mutation caused by virus, while others thought this is what humanity was intended to become all along. For him, it never sparked any interest in him until he met Midoriya. There was something there that was hidden inside him to explain everything. He just had that hunch.
It got to the end of the report and noticed that there was an anomaly with in the teen's DNA. He looked over the code listed and it was clear it wasn't quite the normal human DNA strand. However, this also could be an error so he would have to do a few more tests to see if it is indeed a true statement. He looked over the medical records for the school and his original doctor to see there wasn't too much out of the ordinary here with the exception of an x-ray.
He pulled the old x-ray out and looked it over, he had an off feeling about what he was looking at. He compared it to another one that was taken a year later and the next year after that. His eyes widened once he saw it, each one was the same picture and as he got older the x-rays stopped. Why would the doctor do this? He made a note to see if he could contact the doctor's office for more information. This was starting to get weird, a little too weird and coincidental.
Thankfully he had all the time he needed to find an answer to everything. Looking back at the recent data he collected he realized that the teen didn't have a recent x-ray of his foot. That will be the first think he will need to do on Friday once he meets up with the teen again. What Mr. Yaoyorozu was planning was still unknown to him, but he didn't really question anything. The older man had a demeanor about him that did strike Iyasu as one for committing nefarious acts. He would just have to see and wait to find out.
The next confusing item on his docket was the fact he was given a very detail file on Momo Yaoyorozu. All of her medical files were from a private doctor who only served the family. Nothing was ever formally registered with the state too. Her quirk was only registered as brief synopsis of what she could do. Why would the Yaoyorozu family want to hide their daughter to this extent. He knew wealthy families like to keep things discreet and private but this was on a whole other level.
The was something happening here he was getting concerned with. Too many things were starting to line up weirdly and he felt he was already starting to fall deeper into the rabbit hole. He was a doctor first so he was endeavored to help this teen with everything he had at his disposal. He was born quirkless, and even though he couldn't be a hero he could still help people in need by becoming a doctor. He always studied harder, worked harder, and strove to be the best he could be every day. And for some reason that teen sparked that need to help someone no matter what in him.
