*Holy crap, this story has ten chapters!*

"Well it looks like you two grew close!" Momo was beaming with genuine happiness for the two

Midoriya was too shocked to say anything and Kirishima was pumping his fist in awe.

"Dude, if I knew that you and Camie were an item I would have totally invited the both of you!"

Todoroki decided to be a bit cheeky and tease his friend "I don't know Kirishima, something tells me that this is a more recent development. So, can you tell me what you two did today?"

"We spent a day at the mall!" Camie cheerfully chirped

Iida scratched his head nervously "Yes...it was...quite the trip."

"What did you guys do to lead you to this? Todoroki was savoring his friend's embarrassment

Camie was unaware of Todoroki's attempts to tease Iida and just assumed he was being curious "We just went to a couple of shops to see what was up. Iida was hyped as hell to buy books so that was pretty cute. Oh! We tried out some swimsuits too!"

Todoroki raised an eyebrow in interest "Can you tell us more?"

"I dunno what else to talk about. He said I looked good in a bikini and I told him he looks like snack in swim trunks. We came back and I asked him to be my boyfriend and we started making out."

Momo cooed at how cute the story was in her eyes "What an expectant development! It's amazing how you two moved forward while being comfortable with your romantic feelings towards each other! I wish that Todoroki and I were as brave as you two."

Todoroki deflated a bit when he was reminded at how long it took him to ask Momo out. Camie however, was giving Yaoyorozu a more descriptive account of her proposal to Iida

"I had to ask Iida out because he was scared that if he had asked me out I would only say yes because he helped save me. I thought that was really cute so I asked him to be my boyfriend and he couldn't find an excuse to say no!"

Momo's hand covered her mouth as she squealed at the sheer adorableness of the tale. "Such an unorthodox tale of romance!"

"Okay, since you all know about our day; how was your little get together?" Iida wanted to get the spotlight off him and Camie before he died of embarrassment.

"We just spent some time at a cafe. We talked about school, how Kendou and Tetsutetsu started dating. It was pretty casual all things considered."

"So are you and Yaoyorozu officially dating as well?"

Now it was Iida's turn to watch Todoroki become flustered "Yeah…"

Their conversation was interrupted by Seiji and Inasa returning from their museum trip

"Yo, what did we miss?"

Kirishima answered Inasa's question "Camie and Iida are now dating"

"That's cool"

"I'm happy for the two of you" Seiji expressed his happiness towards the pairing.

"How was the museum?"

"It was pretty cool, Camie. Some of that art they have there is crazy! You won't believe that people that talented exist! And the craziest part is that Seiji seemed to know about all of them!"

"That's because there were descriptions under each exhibit honey."

"Oh...It was still cool to see!"

Things were looking up for Tensei Iida. Ever since he had been crippled by the Hero Killer he thought his life would be over. Then one day during his stay at the hospital he met someone. It was a woman who was visiting her mother in the psych ward.

He was trying to buy coffee from the vending machine when she appeared. The button for the brand that he enjoyed was a bit too high for his new stature to reach. Luckily she had been there to press the button for him. In return he bought her a coffee for herself in gratitude. They talked about their lives for a bit when she revealed that she has a brother that goes to UA.

"Really? My little brother also goes to that school! He's a first year student- Tenya Iida is his name."

"Oh my God! You're Ingenium! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you and I'm also sorry for what happened-"

"Save it. I'm getting used to the wheelchair now. It helps that my quirk isn't affected by it. I can still move pretty fast." He was glad that his joke got her to laugh.

"Alright Fuyumi, I want to know more about your brother who goes UA."

"He's Shouto Todoroki...our dad's Endeavor…"

"Ah! I should've guessed from your hair. You know Tenya is good friends with him. I always see those two hang out especially with that Midoriya fellow with them."

"Really? Todoroki was never the social type…"

"You know teens; they never want to talk about their personal life. Tenya's the same way."

Fuyumi stiffened for a moment. Tensei wasn't aware of her family's history and rationalized her brother's behavior as best as he could.

"Is something wrong?"

Crap, he recognized how her mood changed in an instant.

"W-Well...I uh…"

"It's about your dad, isn't it?"

Fuyumi almost screamed. How did he find out?

"It must be hard to have a hero father. It seems like everything you do could never measure up to him. I felt the same way."

She breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that her father was a paragon of heroics like most of the public did. She wished it was like that but she knew better.

"I think that's the reason why I became a hero. Both of my parents were heroes and so were my grandparents. With a lineage like that I guess I was expected to be a hero, right? Sure my folks always told me that I didn't need to become a hero if my heart wasn't into it but I knew that deep down, they wanted me to continue their legacy."

"I was happy that I actually loved being a hero. Sure the fame could be annoying at times, but it was good to help people and give a lot of struggling aspiring heroes jobs. But the thing that really kept me going is how my brother Tenya looked up to me. I always knew my little brother would be better than me, I mean look at the guy now! But he always made it clear that I inspired him. And to know that I inspired such a guy...kind of almost makes this worth it."

"I'm...a teacher...I know it isn't as heroic or wonderful as your job-"

"You kidding me? Teachers are the ones that shape and inspire future generations! They're the unsung heroes of society and I wish they would get the recognition they deserve! You may not know it now but I bet you already changed the lives of countless people for the better!"

Fuyumi was shocked that he idolized such a small profession such as hers. She was just a lowly school teacher and this hero who actually saved people was treating her like what she does is equal to his former occupation

"You don't believe me, do you?"

'H-How do you-"

"I'm pretty good at reading people. You got know what people are gonna do when you have a job like mine...well, had a job like mine"

"I see...thank you for your kind words. Usually the only people that talk to me about my job are angry parents."

"I'd be happy to praise you more say, next Saturday?"

It took a good thirty second for Fuyumi to understand what Tensei was actually suggesting and she felt like she suddenly manifested her father's powers from the way her body heated up.

"A-are you a-asking me to go out on a d-date?!"

"Ah, I'd hope you'd understand my request…"

Taking a moment to compose herself, Fuyumi looked back at the smiling man in the wheelchair. She couldn't remember the last time she felt so happy just talking to someone

"Sure"

Their first date went well and soon they went on another, and another, and another until they officially became a couple.

Tensei never really had time for long term relationships when he was a hero. Sure, his folks tried to set him up with a lot of women from the upper crusts of society but he always felt like they wanted to date him to further their standing in the world. Now that he was incapable of being out in the field, he doubted that they would want anything to do with him.

Fuyumi was different. For one thing she was hopelessly neurotic, a far cry from the poised and confident girls that begged for his attention before. She was always worried about Todoroki, the children she taught, and him constantly. She always tried to hide her panic attacks from him, something that he didn't appreciate.

"Please don't hide anything from me, Fuyumi. I care about you a lot and it hurts seeing you try to face your demons alone…"

"I-I don't want to burden you…"

"Burden? Come on Fuyumi. You have a lot of people who care about you. You can't just shut them out of your life. I will always be there for you, you know that right?"

"Y-Yeah…"

After that conversation, Tensei was happy that Fuyumi was more open with him. The former pro hero was confident that Fuyumi shared all her insecurities with him so they could work through them together.

Then both of their siblings were expelled from UA.

He was proud of what his little brother did. Tenya was always stickler for the rules and seeing his little brother follow his heroic ideals instead of following the rules made Tensei and his entire family proud. Fuyumi however, was in hysterics about Shouto's actions.

"Listen, I know you're worried about Shouto but I think he did something really heroic out there."

"I'm not worried about what he did; I'm worried about how our father would react!"

Tensei couldn't believe it. She was worried about what their dad would do? What is he gonna do, ground Shouto for being reckless?

"Fuyumi calm down, I don't think Endeavour would be that angry."

"You don't know our father!" something changed in her. She never yelled before and she looked terrified. A chill ran down Tensei's spine. He knew something was amiss.

"Fuyumi, do you have anything to tell me about your father?"

The first thing she did was make him promise that he wouldn't tell a soul about anything she was about to say. After making that promise Fuyumi told him everything about her father. Everything that she said to him haunting him to his very core.

Tensei found out about the true Enji Todoroki and he couldn't be more disgusted by the man. He knew the circumstances of Endeavour marriage and the birth of his children. That man was a crazed eugenicist and treated his children as products and shunned them when they didn't inherit both fire and ice powers. Shouto Todoroki was his father's prized child and ultimate weapons. His purpose according to Enji was to surpass All Might and nothing else.

Tensei did his best to assure Fuyumi that Endeavour wouldn't dare do anything to his son now that he's the number one hero and he had all eyes on him. That seemed to calm Fuyumi down so she left to talk to her little brother about everything.

Tensei immediately called his little brother, who was currently on his way to meet the other expelled students

"Why hello Tensei"

"Are you with anyone?"

"No I am not and why do you sound so perturbed?"

"How much do you know about Shouto's family life?!"

The younger Iida paused for a moment before responding to his brother "So...Fuyumi told you?"

"You knew!? How long did you know?"

"Todoroki told me everything after we fought the Hero Killer. As of right now, he only informed me and Midoriya about his life?"

"You knew for that long?! How come you didn't tell anyone?"

"And what would that accomplish!?" Tensei paused, his little bro never yelled at him "I want that monster to answer for his crimes as much as you do but if anyone tried to tell anyone about Endeavour, one of two things would happen. Since Todoroki's father is a high ranking hero, the accusations would be laughed off and that would jeopardize my friend's future. The other scenario that would occur is that Endeavour becomes persecuted for his crimes and since he's a high ranking hero that would mean society's views on them would further be tarnished and we would also potentially have a villainous Endeavour!"

Tensei grit his teeth. His brother was right. It was a no win scenario for everyone involved.

"You're right. Bye"

Tensei was surprised again when Fuyumi asked him if she could move in with him

"I'd be happy to live with you Fu, but this is really sudden…"

"I only stayed in my childhood home so I could keep an eye on Shouto. All my other siblings moved out already and I can't stand the sight of that house anymore. Now that Shouto's at Shiketsu I have no reason to stay there."

"That's a good reason. Hey, whenever Shouto visits, he could stay here or my parent's place. There's a spare bedroom where I used to sleep and this house has two spare beds."

She moved in shortly afterwards and they have lived a relatively peaceful life. One day, Fuyumi received a call from her brother and they both became worried. Todoroki wasn't the type to call just to say hello.

He watched her pick up the phone with fear in her eyes but shockingly, the longer she was on the phone with Todoroki, the happier she appeared. Tensei only heard her side of the conversation so he couldn't tell what was happening.

"Really? I can't believe it! I'm so happy for you two and I'm proud of how far you've come. Hold on a second please."

Fuyumi told him what was going on "My brother asked that Yaoyorozu girl to be his girlfriend and she said yes!"

"I remember her; she was the secondary rep back when they were in UA. I met her a few times and she's pretty cool. Tell him I said congratulations"

Fuyumi went back to her phone call

"Huh? Yes, I was talking to Tensei. He is? Oh my God, I have to tell him!"

She put down the phone once again "You won't believe what Shouto just told me"

"What is it?"

"Tenya has a girlfriend too!"

"Are you freaking kidding me?! Hold up, I have got to call him!

"Hello Tensei."

"So I heard you have a girlfriend now…"

"Indeed"

"Tell me about her bro!"

"Well actually, I am studying with her right now. Why don't I give the phone to her so you could speak with her?"

"Sure, that'd be great!"

Tensei put his phone on speaker so that Fuyumi could hear his brother's girlfriend

"Yo, what up! You must be Tenya's big bro and it's like, so cool to talk to you! My name is Camie Utsushimi and I'm your brother's girlfriend."

Fuyumi was shocked that she sounded nothing like Tenya while Tensei was busy trying to stifle his laugh. "Camie...that name sounds familiar…"

"I actually got kidnapped by the League of Villains a while back. I'm cool now so you don't have to worry!"

"That's good to know. Tell me Camie, what's it like dating my brother?"

"Yo, it's mad lit! Tenya's like super cool and fun to be around!"

"That's great! I can't wait to meet you?"

"Why don't I send you a pic of me and Tenya?"

"That sounds like a great idea!"

After a minute of waiting, Tensei's phone buzzed, indicating he had received a message. It was from his brother and it was a picture of him smiling with his arm wrapped around a girl who held out a peace sign and had a large smile gracing her face.

Tensei showed the picture to Fuyumi who was impressed.

"Wow, she's gorgeous!"

"Yeah...I'm proud of Tenya.

All Might and Detective Tsukauchi decided to visit Inko once again. Well, it was mostly Toshinori who wanted to go and he dragged his friends with him.

"Why are you so keen on visiting Mr. Midoriya anyway?"

"Well she's the mother of my successor. I have to make sure she's doing fine and inform Midoriya of it!"

"You know she probably has other friends visiting her right now?"

"Yes but it wouldn't hurt to check up on her seeing as-"

"Save it. You're lucky my wife enjoys her company. So...we're going tonight?"

Toshinori should not have been surprised that Inko already had company for the night. She was hanging out with two others, probably parents themselves when the three of them arrived. Tsukauchi immediately introduced themselves to Inko's two friends.

"Hello, I'm Naomasa Tsukauchi and this is my wife Megumi. We're friends with Mrs. Midoriya and-"

"And I'm All Might, former number one hero in all of Japan!"

Mitsuki and Masaru Bakugou took a moment to glance at each other before doubling over in laughter. "Inko, what is up with your social life?!"

Masaru gave Tsukauchi a handshake started and started making conversation with him while Inko introduced Mitsuki to All Might

"Toshinori, this is my friend Mitsuki Bakugou. She was dying to meet you."

"Bakugou? Don't tell me you're the mother of-"

"Yup. How's the kid doing in school?"

"He's still performing quite well academically. He's actually the top ranked student in his class."

"Yeah but didn't all the students who were in his league get expelled a while ago?"

"Why...yes but that doesn't discredit his academic prowess."

"Yeah, I guess. Katsuki was always pretty bright which makes me wonder why he's such a hot head. I thought that since he made friends at UA he would at least clean his act a bit but that didn't pan out…"

Sensing the awkwardness of the situation, All Might attempted to reassure Mitsuki. "Young Bakugou is still a teenager so I'm sure he'll mature greatly in the coming future. Now if you would excuse me, I would like to talk to who I assume is your husband."

"Oh Masaru? Knock yourself out. He's pretty relaxed." As All Might left to join the other men Megumi Tsukauchi introduced herself to the ladies.

"So you got a kid too?"

"Yes Mitsuki. I have a five year old boy who is just in love with heroes!"

Mitsuki guffawed. "Hey Inko, look it's us a decade ago!"

"Oh God, our boys were so adorable back then!"

"What are you talking about? Izuku is still a ball of fluff. Meanwhile, my kid is a little shit."

Megumi almost gasped at how blunt Mitsuki was but she noticed that Inko was not fazed at all. Maybe she was always like this?

"Ooh! Speaking of adorable, Makoto sent me the cutest picture of Izuku and Mina!" Inko went to her bedroom to retrieve her phone.

While she was gone Megumi asked Mitsuki who this Mina fellow was.

"Oh Mina? She's Izuku's girlfriend. Makoto is her mother's name. Those two kids are pretty close. You wouldn't believe how hysteric Inko was when she told me about her son getting a girlfriend."

"Oh, I see."

Inko returned to living room brandishing a photo of Izuku and Mina sleeping on the couch in at Mina's house with a blanket draped over them.

"Makoto told me that she and her husband returned home from shopping and found the two of them knocked out while they were watching a movie."

The other two women cooed at the precious image. "You better use this pic to bust your kid's chops from time to time. It is your sacred right to do this as a mother!"

Sometime during the group's social, a couple bottles of wine were opened. The Bakugou family arrived with a few bottles and so did All Might and company so it was only natural that there would be some drunk shenanigans. Inko and Toshinori were the only people who didn't indulge in alcohol and they found themselves amused at the drunken escapades of their friends.

"You didn't have any drinks Mrs. Midoriya?"

"Me? Oh no! When you've been friends with Mitsuki for as long as I have you have to be the sober one because she's not exactly calm when she's inebriated.." the two of them glanced over to Mitsuki who had a lampshade on her head and was talking to the fridge like it was her husband.

"...Good point."

"What about you?"

All Might chuckled "Do you really think that my body could handle something as strong as alcohol?"

"Mm, that makes sense. You seem to know quite about of what your body could take now…"

"Well I've been like this for years."

"You've lost your ability to become the All Might that everyone was used to for a while now…"

"Yes...yes I have."

"Then isn't it time to purchase some more fitting clothes? The baggy stuff you wear isn't helping your look."

"I suppose. It's just that when I wear my clothes I sometimes hope that I could become like my old self again…It's hard to accept this."

"A lot of change is hard to accept. Sometime you'll lie awake at night wondering if everything was your fault. You wonder what you could have done to make things better…"

Toshinori let out a melancholic sigh when those words hit him. Inko Midoriya was no stranger to drastic events overturning her life. Her son was born without quirk, her husband abandoned Izuku right afterwards, and then her child mysteriously developed a dangerous quirk of his own. He felt guilty that he was lamenting his inability to kick ass and take names in front of someone who went through so many hardships.

"But you know, once you accept the changes in your life; I think things get better!" Inko gave him a warm smile.

All Might beamed back at her "You know what, I think you're right...I guess I should start shopping for new clothes. W-Would you like to join me? I haven't been shopping for civilian clothes for a long time so I don't know what's in style…"

"I'd be happy to!"

Midoriya frequently visited Gran Torino to extensively train his inherited quirk. The teen knew that he would have to get better at it sooner rather than later since All Might wouldn't be able to help him anymore. After vouching for their friend a good number of times, Todoroki and Iida finally let their curiosity get the better of them and asked what was Midoriya doing with the hero he interned under during their encounter with Stain.

Midoriya told them as much as he could without telling his two close friends about All Might and his legacy. He mentioned that Gran Torino was also All Might's mentor and that was the extent of it. Surprisingly, the green haired hero in training even invited the two to train with him.

Gran Torino was pretty ambivalent to training two other heroes at first but he quickly came around to Midoriya's friends. The veteran hero was excited to know that Iida's quirk was extremely similar to his and the fact that the kid had already developed some really good techniques on his own. The only problem is that the kid's moves had some pretty big drawbacks.

Torino also took a shine to Todoroki. Sure, he didn't have a power set he was familiar with but Torino was sure that he could mold all that raw power into something great. The elder hero surmised that teaching him some close range moves would help him immensely.

He didn't know why he was looking forward to training three future heroes. He was supposed to be retired dammit! Maybe he was remembering all the good time he had kicking Toshinori's ass whenever they trained together? Or perhaps because he knows that these three will certainly change the game in the future, when he's probably going to be six feet under.

The veteran hero watched the three young prospects with his discerning eyes. The three of them were working quite hard and their efforts were paying off quite well.

Midoriya was pinballing all over the place destroying the punching bags the elder hero set up with ease. Torino was glad that the kid stopped emulating All Might's style and decided to become his own man. Midoriya's momentum never seemed to decrease as he spun and kicked the punching bags that were in his way. He long since moved past the phase of just using punches and incorporated his entire body into his fighting style. Whenever he activated his quirk, Midoriya became a raving whirlwind of limbs.

"How much are you up to, kid?"

"I'm up to fifteen percent of my power!"

"Good...good. Keep up the good work and stick with that fighting style!"

Torino walked over to where Iida was training. The teen was working on his "recipro burst" technique and Torino had to admit that it was one hell of a move. It reminded him of Toshinori's busted speed back before he got that crippling injury. The only problem was that Iida's recipro burst screwed him over for ten seconds. That is what Gran Torino wanted to work on because the veteran knew that Iida would become immeasurably more powerful once he overcomes his engine problem.

"RECIPRO BUURST!" Iida had been pushing his body to the limits with his speed ever since the training session started. He was in the presence of two colleagues who he knew were better than him in every way and vowed to himself to catch up to Todoroki and Midoriya so he could help them when they needed it. Midoriya's speed was already impressive enough and speed is what all Iida has. He needed to get better not because he was envious of Midoriya but because he knew that Midoriya gets injured a lot and the green haired teen's speed won't help him or anyone if his legs were broken.

All of motivation didn't make the fatigue any less daunting. Iida was beginning to notice another side effect of pushing his engines to the limit- the skin around them was now burned from the heat. He remembered when Todoroki spotted his injuries, he freaked out. The sight of seeing anyone close to him suffering from burns bought out some deep seated psychological scars and he was immensely worried about Iida's disturbing work ethic.

It took a long time for Iida to convince Todoroki that he was alright. "These burns are my doing, Todoroki. I know what I am getting into and it's simply what I must endure to improve."

"I understand that but please be careful. When you first burned your legs with your engines the first thing I noticed was the smell. When my mother splashed that boiling water on my face...I couldn't see for a while and all my other senses went into overdrive. I don't think I will ever forget the smell of my own skin….That was first thing I noticed when you burned your legs. That familiar smell….It's something I don't ever want to happen to a friend…"

"Thank you for Todoroki and I'm sorry for unknowingly making you relive your trauma past trauma."

"It's fine. Once I found out how you actually burned yourself I calmed down a bit...Just be careful, okay?"

Back in the present, Iida's hard work seemed to pay off. He felt his body grow use to his constant overdrive and it had molded him into a better hero.

"Hey glasses, how much time between bursts now?"

"My engines now stall for six seconds after I perform a recipro burst now sir!"

"That's great and don't call me sir! It's Gran Torino!"

In contrast to his two friends who were breaking the limits of their quirks, Todoroki was focusing on control and trying to be as careful and calculated as possible with his. He already knew he had a ton of destructive potential but being a hero meant that you shouldn't cause widespread destruction. Gran Torino gave him a suggestion to wreathe one of his fists in flames and learn some basic close quarters combat to combat a foe in a populated area. Another idea that the elder gave him was to form his ice into various weapons that could also prove useful.

All three of them stopped what they were doing when they heard Gran Torino laugh out loud.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing kids. I just received a text message from All Might. It's pretty personal so I'm afraid that I can't tell you kids what's going on even though I know you're dying to know what's going with All Might."

The three teens simply told Gran Torino that they totally understood and went back to their training.

"Oh you young whippersnappers sure are persistent! Alright, I'll tell you"

"But we didn't-"

"All Might went on a "date" with a woman he had a crush on. I use the term date loosely because they just went shopping together. All I know about her is that her name is Inko and that according to All Might, she's super kind."

Iida and Todoroki expressed their approval of All Might's accomplishment but Midoriya was mysteriously silent.

"Are you alright, Midoriya?"

Midoriya didn't seem to register Todoroki's concern as his face became blank. After a minute of ruminating what heard, the teen spoke.

"What. The. Fuck?!"
