Chapter 11: Afterthoughts and Average Days
Izuku wasn't sure what to think.
After Ingenium had left he had managed to contact his grandfather, who while worried about the situation, was able to maintain a level of calm and understanding. It was a five minute phone call that ended with Izayoi saying he'll drop by later, which Izuku replied with that he didn't have to. Izayoi offhandedly saying that Inko would have his head if he didn't visit reminded Izuku on the trail he was to embark on next.
As he expected, the moment he said 'I'm in the hospital' Inko was a sobbing mess. After five minutes of calming her down and assuring her he was fine, she had declared that she was on her way down.
So it was now that Izuku was sitting in a hospital bed, Inko in a chair to his right, Aizawa standing boredly with Ingenium by the door, and a man in a brown trench-coat with a writing pad standing at the foot of his bed.
"Right, let's get things started," the man spoke, fishing out a pen from his coat "My name Naomasa Tsukauchi, I've gotten a summary of events from police statements of the crowd before the bombing, but what exactly happened in that red haze?"
"The haze everyone saw was a advanced force shield, designed in a way that anyone who touches it would be repelled by a concussive force," Izuku began "The person who put it up, Iron Monger, set it up so no one could interfere with them fighting me."
"Any idea why they targeted you?"
"Personally no, they said that they wanted to test their suit, prove it against mine."
"Hmm, is there anyone else besides you and Testu industries that has the technology to build such a suit?"
"The only two companies with the technological know-how to manufacture a suit like that would be Namari Corporation and the Kin Organisation. But I can't say if they were the ones behind this."
"So they just seemed to be targeting you?"
"Yes sir, the Iron Monger's bomb detonated in an empty building, they even waited until every civilian was out of the shields radius before activating it."
"Well that's a sure signs civilians weren't a target," Tsukauchi sighed "What about you, how come you didn't make it out of the radius?"
"Well, I kinda went to check if there was anyone who needed help. I couldn't use my suit, but I do have it's scanning function which could locate people in rubble," Izuku scratched the back of his head sheepishly "It's how I knew that the building was empty."
Tsukauchi bit back a grin at that, while Ingenium was nodding in approval and Aizawa closed his eyes in annoyance.
"Well, it seems that you never had a choice but to deploy your suit. So we can wave a charge of using it without cause," Tsukauchi continued "Luckily it seemed only one building and the road in front of it was damaged and it'll be unfair to lay any charges of destruction of property on you when you were only trying to defend yourself."
The detective stowed his pen and notebook before walking to the door.
"I'll file the report, you should be fine kid," as he left, he stuck his head back in "Oh, and say hi to All Might for me, tell him to drop by the precinct some time."
With a parting comment that left Izuku confused, the detective disappeared.
Silence ruled the room before Aizawa heaved a sigh.
"Seriously Midoriya, first weekend after starting U.A and you already get into a fight with another Armoured Suit?" the home-room teacher stated blandly.
"Ehehe, sorry sir?" Izuku sheepishly chuckled.
"It's fine, it wasn't like it was your fault, I'm just glad you had the sense not to use your Quirk as well. That could have caused a lot of damage to the surroundings and to yourself," Aizawa rubbed his forehead.
"I know, though I had a feeling that I wouldn't have had to" Izuku relied, thinking back on the fight.
"What makes you say that?" Aizawa raised an eyebrow in question.
"Although the fight the Iron Monger was serious, not once did I feel like I was gonna die. Even when they used that Charged Particle Cannon I never felt like my life was in true danger," Izuku said seriously "I don't think that the Iron Monger wanted to kill me, just prove that their suit was better, and beating me would move then suffice."
"... I see" Aizawa murmured after a moment "In any case, what are your injuries?"
"A broken rib and several bruised ones, a few torn ligaments. The amount of time I spent in my Armour under strenuous duress cased a lot of my muscle to be worn down so much that I'll be fatigued," Izuku recounted what the doctor told him "Oh and my entire back is bruised with my spine being a hairs breadth from dislocation."
Every word spoken only cause Inko to go paler and paler, sure she had heard the list of injuries earlier, having been the first to get here. But it was still horrifying to hear her son had been beaten so badly.
Aizawa stared at Izuku for a few seconds, before a grin appeared on his face.
"So I take it you'll be back in class on Monday?"
Before Inko could object, Izuku grinned back at his teacher and nodded.
"Yes sir."
"Very good" Aizawa nodded in approval "See you then Midoriya."
With that, Aizawa left. He had to get back to U.A and inform them of the situation after all.
Ingenium, who had been standing silently back, pushed himself off the wall.
"Heh, your a tough kid, and from what Tenya says a good rep. I hope you don't mind that I told him what happened, he said he'll be around to see you tomorrow".
"Nah, it's fine. Thank you for all your help Ingenium, I don't think I'd have been able to drag myself here without you".
"Heh, don't worry about it kid, you earned it. Besides, helping people is what a Hero does" and with a cheesy line, Ingenium left the room, leaving Izuku alone with Inko.
"Honey, you shouldn't push yourself, take a few days off to recover. You don't need to go back to school straight away" Inko pleaded with her son.
"But I do mum, if I miss classes then I'll be behind the others. Besides that, a real Hero wouldn't let these types of injuries hold him down" Izuku said seriously.
Inko sighed, she knew that if Izuku got this determined there was little she could do to change his mind. It was something that always made her proud, but worried at the same time.
"Alright then, but for today I want you to get as much rest as possible. Those wounds you've got are no laughing matter" Inko spoke in a serious manner.
Izuku smiled at his mother and nodded, he had to take time to heal quickly, he only had two days after all.
-AHA-
Making good on his promise, Tenya turned up relatively early the next morning. The bespectacled boy launching into a foray of questions which Izuku chuckled as he answered all he could.
"Still, it was quiet a shock to hear of your situation," Tenya spoke as he sat by the hospital rooms window.
"Yeah, Mr Aizawa made a comment about getting into trouble despite being the first week of my enrolment," Izuku agreed with a laugh.
"In any case, why would such a Villain target you specifically?" Tenya asked, a hand on his chin "I can understand the part of testing their suit against your own, but it seems to be a strange motive for a Villain."
"Well that's the thing, I don't think the Iron Monger is a Villain," Izuku's statement caused Tenya to raise an eyebrow "I mean, they went out of their way to avoid civilian casualties by blowing up an empty building and activating the shield generators after they had all vacated."
"Then it just raises more questions," Tenya stated, leaning forward in the chair he was sitting in "Should this Iron Monger not be a Villain, why take such a destructive approach to challenge you?"
A few moments of silence pass between the two.
"Maybe because they needed a 'ring'," Izuku said, breaking the silence "Coming up to me on the street wouldn't work, I wouldn't use my suit without reason."
"So you think that in setting up that bomb, the Iron Monger created a situation is which you had little choice but to fight back," Tenya pondered the words for a few moments "I see, yes, they created an arena for you both to do battle, one which would mitigate you getting into trouble with the law due to having no choice in the matter while at the same time preventing your escape from the area and any Hero that may have made it there from interfering."
"Exactly, a closed space for us, while allowing me to not have to worry about using my suit in public" Izuku nodded in agreement.
"So we can probably rule out the Iron Monger as a Villain then" Tenya put forth after weighing the situation.
"Yeah, while I wouldn't say their completely absolved of criminal activity as they did blow up a building, I wouldn't call them a 'Villain'" Izuku summed up.
Any further postulating was halted by the door opening and an unexpected visitor walking in.
"My oh my, what have you gotten yourself into Izuku" Recovery Girl walked in with a smile on her face.
"Recovery Girl?" Izuku was confused by the elderly woman's appearance.
"Did you come to heal Izuku Ma'am?" Tenya asked as he stood up from the chair.
"Of course I did Tenya my boy. When Shota informed us all on what had happened I decided that I'd make a trip over here today," Recovery Girl answered walking over to beside Izuku, taking his health chart from the bottom of the bed "Hmm, it doesn't look like your as bang up as what you could have been, a broken rib seems to be the worst of your injuries, but it would still put you out of commission for a few days."
After assessing the sheet' she placed the clipboard back at the foot of Izuku's bed before jumping up on the chair next to Izuku's bed and kissing him on the forehead.
Izuku instantly felt a lot of strength drain from him as he felt all the pain he was in fade away.
"You rest up for the rest of the day and you'll be as right as rain," Recovery Girl jumped down from the chair she used as a stool "I'll go and let your doctor know you can be released, Tenya, be a dear and help Izuku back to his home, it wouldn't do for him to faint because of exhaustion on the way back."
"Of course Ma'am, you have my word" Tenya nodded as he looked back to Izuku "Are you alright Izuku?"
"Yeah, just a little woozy, once I rest up for the day I'll be fine" Izuku answered as he hopped out of the bed in a lethargic manner.
It wasn't long before Izuku was released from the hospital and sent home, Tenya made sure Izuku didn't falter before they reached his apartment complex.
"So I take it you will be in class tomorrow?" though the speedster knew the answer, he felt the need to ask anyway.
"Yeah, I said to Mr Aizawa that I'd be in even with those injuries. I'm glad that Recovery Girl came in the fix me up today" Izuku answered with a grin.
"Then I shall see you in class tomorrow" with a nod of his head, Tenya left for the station.
When he made it up to his apartment, he had to explain to Inko what happened for him to be let out so early. Though she was a little angry that Izuku never contacted her, she was mollified a bit when he said that his classmate made sure he got home alright. He then had to explain how Recovery Girl's Quirk worked as to why he was exhausted way more then he should be. The result of course was Izuku confined to his bed within moments as Inko fretted him collapsing at the drop of a hat.
'Well, despite how things went, I had an eventful weekend, I'm just glad Granpa came around yesterday and took my suit to repair it' Izuku thought as he began dozing.
It wasn't long after Tsukauchi, Aizawa and Ingenium had left when Izayoi had shown up, Izuku taking the chance to get him to take his suit back to the lab and start the repairs. Izayoi had agreed and after staying for ten minutes to make sure Inko and Izuku were fine, he took the beaten suit back with him to Tetsu Industries
'With any luck, Granpa'll have it repaired by tomorrow' was the last concious thought Izuku had before succumbing to the exhaustion of Recovery Girl's Quirk's side effect.
-AHA-
As it so happened when Izuku woke up the next morning, Izayoi had already arrived and was enjoying a morning cup of tea as Inko busied around making breakfast.
"Inko filled me in on what happened yesterday. You're lucky to have such an expedient method of recovery," Izayoi commented "I would think attending school would be problematic with a broken rib on the mend."
"Yeah, Recovery Girl was a life-saver" Izuku nodded in agreement.
"So it's good news on two fronts then, your suit has been fully repaired," Izayoi handed Izuku his suit pack "And Dr Science has asked me to thank you for the extra work, he said he always wanted to 'try and shake off my bothering insomnia'."
"... He is aware that insomnia keeps you up all night right?" Izuku question.
"Jusen brought that up, Dr Science then decided to bury himself in a medical textbook of all things," Izayoi seemed rather exasperated "He'll probably come up for air in a day or two, in the mean time I've got Tsukareta checking over his work until he returns to more 'sane' waters."
Eye twitching at the sheer randomness of his mentor, Izuku decided it wasn't worth the brain explosion pondering the situation would no doubt result in. Instead he sat down at the dinner table and ate the breakfast his mother had finished for him as he chatted with Izayoi about some of the newest forms of technology.
"Oh that reminds me," Izuku spoke as the two bid their farewells to Inko while walking out the door "Did the HUD video files survive the fight?".
"Hmm, I'm pretty sure it did," Izayoi thinking back on the repair report Jusen submitted a two hours earlier "Why do you ask?"
"Because, if the video is legible then I'll give it to Detective Tsukauchi" said Izuku as the two reached the bottom of the apartment complex.
"Ahh, indeed," Izayoi nodded in understanding, approaching a car parked on the roadside "Anyway, would you like a lift to U.A today?"
Izuku thought about it before nodding, it'll cut about ten minutes off his commute, a good thing since he was running a bit behind then normal, and it was technically on the way to Tetsu Industries.
-AHA-
Arriving at 1-A he noticed around half the class had arrived, he walked over to his seat, noticing Momo had her head buried in what looked like one of her encyclopaedias.
"Your still hard at work I see" Izuku grinned setting his schoolbag down.
"Hmm, oh good morning Izuku," Momo smiled, placing a bookmark in the book before closing it and stowing it under her desk "I figure I'd get as much reading in as possible. My Quirk, while useful, does have a rather glaring restriction."
She of course was talking about the fact she needed to understand the structure of anything she created, so long that it wasn't organic. Her Quirk quiet literally revolved around the saying 'knowledge is power'.
"I honestly think it's an awesome Quirk, restricting or not," Izuku's eyes glimmered in the way they normally did when talking Quirks "Being able to create anything non-organic so long as you can understand it's composition. All the things that can be done with such a Quirk, definitely one of my favourites."
Izuku realised he went off and a tangent and went to apologise, but Momo's face had turned scarlett as she his her head in her arms.
'I know he was talking about my Quirk but seriously, did he have to say 'one of my favourites'' Momo's mind raced as she tried to calm her flushed face.
"Err, Momo, are you okay" Izuku asked, unaware of the tailspin his words put Momo in.
"Y...yes I'm quiet alright" the pony-tailed girl managed to get some semblance of calm back as she faced Izuku, her cheeks still maintaining a small amount of colour.
Izuku was about to say more before Tenya walked over.
"I see there were no problems then" he spoke, catching the attention of the two.
"Ahh, yeah, I was out of it all day yesterday, but when I woke up this morning I was right as rain," Izuku grinned "Thanks for yesterday Tenya."
"Not a problem at all, as our Class Representative, you have to be in peak health all the time" Izuku repressed a chuckle at that. It always seemed to come back to a studious reasoning with Tenya.
"What happened?" of course, Izuku had forgotten about Momo being nearby.
"Err, I sorta had a little trouble yesterday" Izuku didn't know why, but he felt that telling Momo might not be a good idea.
Before Momo could do more then furrow her brow, the door to the classroom slammed open as Kirishima ran in, phone in hand.
"Hey, hey, Midoriya, did ya really get caught up in that explosion downtown on Saturday?"
Izuku felt like face-palming as Momo's eyes went wide.
"An... explosion?" she asked slowly.
Ashido, who had followed on Kirishima's heals grinned.
"Not only that, Midori actually fought the person responsible."
By now the members of the class that were present were paying attention to the group in the corner.
"Did we really need to broadcast that guys?" Sero asked a question that was ignored.
"Izuku, what are they talking about?" Momo rose an eyebrow as she faced the green haired youth who sweatdropped as he sighed.
"Why do I feel this is gonna be a long day?"
Long was right, apparently some of the more keen 'Hero Spotters' were at the scene on Saturday. They had been equipped with camera's with multiple levels of zoom and manage to take a few pictures of Izuku's fight, though the pictures had a red haze on account of the shielding. By the time he reached lunchtime, he had already told the story three times (Once for Momo, a second time for Ochako and Kyoka and the third was an abridged version for Kaminari). Izuku ate his food sitting with his usual group, but this time with the curious additions of Kaminari and Asui.
"Man, it must have been epic" Kaminari smirked from his seat next to Sero, having gotten the rest of the story.
"Maybe from an outsiders point of view" Kyoka muttered as she rolled her eyes at Kaminari.
"I doubt Midoriya would have found it 'epic'" Asui spoke up blandly from her seat across from Kaminari.
"Indeed, because of my brother being on the scene when the shielding went down, he called me to tell me the news," Tenya said in a serious voice "The injuries Izuku suffered may not have been life threatening, but they were injuries no less."
"I understand that, but two badass suits, goin at it in a fight like that, stuffs right outta a comic book" Kaminari grinned.
"I think that's technically everyday" Sero spoke up with a sweatdrop.
Kaminari chuckled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. Sero was right, almost every fight nowadays was straight out of a comic.
"I'm just glad you weren't hurt" Momo stated worriedly from across from Izuku, she hadn't liked the idea of Izuku being in a fight like that, despite Izuku's own reassurances that this Iron Monger didn't mean to kill.
"Gotta agree with Yaoyarozu there, glad we got ya back in one piece Tin Man" Kyoka grinned over to Izuku from next to Momo.
"You said your suit was damaged, but ya still got it on hand?" Ashido questioned.
"Oh, Granpa took it of Saturday when he came to see me, Dr Science and Jusen managed to get it fixed by this morning" Izuku answered the pink skinned girl.
"Man though, I said so on Thursday and I'll say it again, your a boss Midoriya," Kirishima gave out his shark like grin "I mean how many first year U.A students can say they have a nemesis without even graduating."
"Nemesis? Not a rival?" the questions were asked by Ochako as she cutely tilted her head.
"Sometimes in the old pre-Quirk comic books Heroes would have confrontation with another character that can't be defined by the stereotypical Rival or Villain labels," Izuku began an explanation "Rather then conforming to the either or of the situation, these characters were dubbed nemesis."
"Really? But what makes them so different?" Ochako asked, leaning forward.
"Well nothing really. The word can run the gamut between a Rival Hero or a commonly occurring Villain," Izuku continued his impromptu lesson "In some cases a Nemesis will be introduced as an antagonist but then later become an ally to the Hero. Not unlike a certain red coloured dredlocked marsupial to a certain blue coloured spiky speedster. Other times they are introduced as an antagonist that remains at fundamental odds with the Hero, becoming a reoccurring combatant but never as severe as the Villains."
"Wow, you sure know a lot Midori" Ochako applauded with wide eyes.
"That's just one way to look at it," Izuku blushed at Ochako's praise "People have their own interpretation of the word and it's meaning."
"And you have one of these Nemesis's, you really are amazing Midori" Ochako seemed to be starstruck, causing everyone at the table to sweatdrop lightly.
"I think she missed the point" Sero commented, getting a sage nod from Kirishima and Kaminari.
"I wanna spend a day in her head, it seems really fun" Ashido smirked.
"I'd think it would be confusing" Asui deadpanned.
"So, do ya have any idea who it might've been?" Kyoka asked Izuku, staunchly ignoring the confusion that Ochako occasionally brought to the conversation.
"None, the suit had a voice modulator, and it's size was above a humans so any real means of identifying the pilot is out" Izuku shrugged.
"I would think something of that scale could only be manufactured by a select few," Tenya spoke up, stroking his chin in thought "Is there any other companies capable of such a feat aside from Tetsu Industries?"
"The Detective asked that question on Saturday," Izuku mentioned "Only two companies come to mind and that's the Namari Corporation and the Kin Organisation."
"Well, it seems rather cut and dry" Kaminari spoke.
"The thing is, aside from lack of evidence, there's always the chance it was done by a rogue employee, or they may even have had the plans made up, but they were stolen" Izuku said to Kaminari "Given the fact that we're a business capital as well, we can't just accuse them of making the suit."
"Dude, that sucks," Kirishima whistled "So how're ya gonna figure it out then?"
"I'm still thinking about that actually" Izuku sheepishly grinned.
"If you need any help, just ask" Momo said leaning forward, her face filled with worry.
"Yeah, we'll help ya out in anything you need Tin Man" Kyoka grinned.
"I goes without saying that I shall help as well should you be in need of assistance" Tenya added his own.
One by one the others all agreed as well, overwhelming Izuku.
"Th...thanks a lot guys" he smiled.
Truly, having friends was a great thing.
Before afternoon classes began, Izuku received a text from All Might to meet him in the faculty lounge.
"I heard about what happened from Aizawa," Toshinori opened with as Izuku sat down on a chair in front of the deflated Hero "It's good to see that you're all right."
"Thank you sir" Izuku nodded his thanks.
"That being said, from what I've been able to gather this wasn't some amateur plan," Toshinori continues "The shielding and the explosion in an empty building along the route you were walking not withstanding, there were also the five Villain attacks that occurred around the area."
When Aizawa had returned and told Toshinori, Recovery Girl and Nedzu what had happened, Nedzu had been quick to realise the unusual placement of the five other attacks.
"Like your own opponent, the Villains involved only caused property damage," Toshinori spoke "Some were even observed destroying debris that could have caused civilian injuries".
It truly perplexed the Heroes at the scene, most Villains cared little for who they hurt, but these ones seemed to go out of their way to prevent any harm to civilians.
"It was only coupled with your incident that we were able to make the connection," Toshinori clasped his hands under his chin "These Villains were working in tandem with this Iron Monger to make sure no Hero could get to the scene before that shield went up."
"I was suspecting that myself," Izuku nodded in agreement "I noticed that the five locations were spread out in such a manner that any Heroes in the vicinity of the area I was in would be called away, leaving where I was without a Hero to respond quickly."
Ingenium himself was from a different part of the city, he came to the area when it was apparent he could get there faster even though he was further away them some other Heroes.
"I knew you would have figured something like that," Toshinori smirked at the level of thinking Izuku had "It is a pity that we cannot do more to help."
"It's alright, the teachers of U.A are busy with their own things," Izuku smiled "Besides, even if I do face off with Iron Monger again, I don't think I'll be in any true danger."
"Indeed, Principle Nedzu did mention the he'd expect the Iron Monger to return" Toshinori grimaced at the prospect, but had to defer to Izuku on the threat level the new Armoured suit.
"I think that they'll try to stage our fights so it's only me against them," Izuku began explaining his thoughts "I'm positive they won't bring civilians into this, so destruction of property is the only thing we need to worry about with them."
"I suppose it's one of those 'things could be worse' scenarios," Toshinori muttered "Anyway, it's almost time for class, sorry to hold you up."
"It's alright, besides it's good to get the teacher's opinions on this as well" Izuku said as he stood up and walked out the door.
'The thing is, the more this Iron Monger attacks you the more your gonna be shoved into the limelight' Toshinori thought as he stood from his desk 'The main concern is next time it may not just be a few pictures'
-AHA-
Izuku felt a little unsure as the class watched their performance on monitors at the end of the day. They followed All Might who had set them up with a mission where they were going into a situation based upon witness reports, something that was never by the book. Kaminari, who was made the lookout for his team, almost flubbed the mission. Surprisingly, in a manner preceding a Hero aiming to be a Sidekick, he somehow managed to surrend a perfect position to Tsuyu while taking a position of backup.
"All considered, I feel I had my place given to me" Tsuyu muttered at the end of the exercise, she had been able to take out Tokoyami because of the situation Kaminari had caused.
"Kaminari's good," Izuku began, despite he was appointed the hidden Villain teams leader "The problem was that he's too forward thinking."
"Seriously Izuku, anything is forward thinking is against you," Kirishima muttered in annoyance "We hadta continue forward though."
"Still coulda done without Bakugo's one man demo squad," Kaminari spoke up, glancing at one of the playback monitors and shivering "I mean he almost brought the city block crashing down on us."
"Definitely not a Hero move" Tsuyu commented.
"The fuck you try to aim when your opponent was zipping around like a 'roided fly frog face" Bakugo growled at the frog girl.
"Maybe if ya had one of us try and take Iida, then maybe we woulda not have such a hefty amount of collateral damage Kacchan" Ashido spoke up.
"I told you not to call me that raccoon eyes" Bakugo shot a glare to the pink skinned girl who giggled at the predictable reaction.
"Regardless, that did go against you all," Tenya spoke up "You can't cause that much collateral damage in a real situation."
"Even though we were ahead on points, I still feel as though we lost" Kyoka muttered.
"Logically speaking, we should be glad the Heroes won," Tokoyami said from his position against a wall "But I do agree that loosing leaves me feeling somewhat disheartened."
"Indeed, such a lacklustre performance for one such as I" Aoyama placed the back of his hand against his face in lamentation.
"Dude, I took you out by melting a bit of your cape then you spazzed out and fainted" Ashido commented blandly.
"I cannot help it when something as dazzling as my cape is damaged," Aoyama faced Ashido with a teary look "You don't understand the pain it wrought in me ma fille."
It wasn't long before the second group finished and had their own conversation on how well they performed.
"You all did quiet well in today's exercise," All Might praised them "The situation which we simulated today is one of the more harrowing of missions we Pro's undertake. The situation varies from each time, as well as who you may end up teamed with. This particular exercise was also wrought with Villains and people in need of saving."
All Might continued on with critiquing each team upon what they did and how they should have went about it before ending the class in his usual pitched dash.
"By the way Momo, do you still want to know about Nano-machines?" Izuku asked as he picked up his bag.
"Ah, I forgot about asking you last week," Momo smiled "If you can spare the time I'd like too."
"If your free this afternoon I'll explain it at my lab" Izuku offered.
Momo nodded and sent a quick text to her parents to let them know she'll be back late.
"Hey, mind if I tag along Tin Man?" Kyoka asked falling into step with the two "Always wanted to know how those things made your suit compact."
"Sure, besides there's something I want to show you anyway" grinned Izuku.
With that the three made their way to Tetsu Industries.
When they walked through the doors, Izuku was surprised to see someone at the reception desk.
"Ahh, your back," Mana Namari smirked as she straightened herself out from leaning on the reception desk, she took notice of Momo and Kyoka "A flower in each hand?, not bad for my rival."
"What are you doing here Mana?" Izuku asked, blushing faintly at the comment made by the blonde.
"I came be too see you," Mana grinned in a cat-like fashion "You see Namari Corp is handling that business you were involved in yesterday".
She walked over to him and pulled out the retracted form of his Energy Bola's.
"We found this in the wreckage so I came to ask whether it belongs to you?"
"Err, yeah it does, thanks" Izuku was surprised as Mana handed him the Bola's.
"No problem at all," Mana grinned "Though I hope you don't mind that we kept the hands of that other suit that you ripped off."
"That's fine," Izuku nodded "But what are you gonna do with them?"
"Hmm, I find myself fascinated with the idea of Armoured suits ever since you told me of yours all those weeks ago," Mana explained "So I want to see if I can reverse engineer a suit from those hands."
"I should have figured" grinned Izuku "Well, good luck on that front."
"Thank you, now I must be going," she took another look toward Momo and Kyoka before a grin stretched itself across her lips "Have fun."
With a innuendo ladened wink she walked out the foyer doors leaving the three with varying blushes.
"Who was that?" Kyoka asked, recovering from her blush first.
"Her name's Mana Namari, she's the daughter of Shingetsu Namari, CEO of the Namari Corporation" Izuku explained.
"She called you a rival?" Momo asked questioningly.
"Yeah, because of my being named as Granpa's successor she views us as equals because she's set to become Namari's next head."
"I see" Momo nodded her head in understanding.
"Still, that's another girl you've got hanging around ya Tin Man" Kyoka grinned "Maybe Sparky and Micro Perv are on to something?"
"Please don't start" Izuku muttered as the three made their way up to his lab
-TO BE CONTINUED-
A/N : So there's eleven done. Got it out faster due to no fight scene, which I'm glad you all liked, there's not much going on for this chapter so I used it to expand a little on other characters (well, mainly Tenya). I hope you all like Tsukauchi's appearance.
I stopped this chapter where I did because I thought it was a good place to end it. I was going to continue to do the scene in the lab but that can make for the beginning of chap twelve.
Thanks everyone who reviewed and I hope you guys like this chapter.
Peace out.
