"Huh?" Izuku opened his eyes feeling something fall onto his forehead and looked to see Ochaco looking down at him with tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Deku! You're okay!" Ochaco yelled hugging her boyfriend's head making him chuckle and nod. He pushed her head up slightly and smiled at her.

"I'd kiss you to show you I'm okay, but I think my mouth is full of blood."

"Like I care." Ochaco said planting a kiss on his lips. He chuckled and pulled her in closer, deepening the kiss before hearing someone clear their throat.

"Ugh, get a room." They broke their kiss to see Hayato struggling to lift himself out of the rubble. Izuku winced as he sat up and the two looked around to see the roof was completely destroyed. "What time is it?"

"It's six in the morning." Momo said walking over and helping Hayato stand.

"Shit went down last night, didn't it?" Hayato chuckled before falling forward. Momo caught him and held him in a tight embrace. "Can I finally enjoy my vacation now?"

"Sure."

"Great..." Hayato muttered as Momo loosed her hold on him slightly. "I was really worried when we split up..."

"We were fine, the machines shut off before they could get us." Momo said before turning to Mira who was happily talking to Tenya and Melissa. "Your sister was a big help."

"Mira...? What did she do...?"

"Everything her brother would've, she kept fighting like a silver lightning bolt the whole time, she vanished as quickly as she came." Momo said before Hayato began to laugh. "What?"

"A silver bolt...Silver Bolt...let's call her that in the future..." Hayato whispered before finally dozing off. Momo smiled and kissed his cheek as she sat down to place his head on her lap.

"You deserve a good rest."

"I'm sorry for what happened, everyone." Melissa said as she met up with the group later that day after they all had a chance to dress their wounds and sleep after their long night.

"It's not your fault though, you have nothing to apologize for." Denki said earning a nod from the rest.

"You were the biggest help to us all, we couldn't have pulled it off and saved the day without you." Izuku said looking at the Full Gauntlet on his wrist. Melissa smiled at them and nodded.

"You're right, but the credit goes to Uncle Might, you, and Hayato. Speaking of which, where is he?" Melissa asked looking around and noticing Hayato was missing.

"My big brother was pretty drained, so he's sleeping in longer than the rest of us." Mira explained as she removed the cap of her sports drink. "And Momo's staying with him to keep him company."

"But something's been bothering me...what's going to happen to your dad?" Ochaco asked making Melissa sigh and look down.

"Right now he's in the hospital recovering, but he's under close police supervision. And once he's healed, he's going to jail until his court hearing in a few months."

"Is he worried?" Tenya asked looking worriedly at the girl. She shook her head and smiled at them.

"Papa made a deal with the police, he's going to testify against Sam and Wolfram to get the charges dropped against him."

"But your dad was the one behind it all, wasn't he?" Kyoka asked making Melissa shake her head.

"He was part of it, but he was being as tricked as everyone else. So far all the evidence is pointing at Sam as the true mastermind behind everything, the sponsors of Papa's research are saying how Sam was the only one begging them to reconsider, and how the one who gave them their weapons and access to the tower's security systems was Sam, even being the one who brought up the idea of hiring Wolfram and his men, Papa was just made part of it so he would take the blame as well." Melissa explained before looking at the group happily. "You know, they're going to throw the party again tonight. But it's not going to be a party for the sponsors of the expo: it's going to be a party to honor the heroes of I-Island." Melissa said making Denki cheer.

"Yes!"

"But wouldn't that just be All Might and the other heroes instead of us?" Kyoka asked stopping Denki in his trakcs.

"To them at least, because as far as the media knows: All Might was the one who took down Wolfram and the security system was reset remotely." Melissa explained before looking up at the tower that was currently under reconstruction. "But, all that matters is that the people who know the truth, know who the true heroes were."

"Good afternoon, sleepyhead." Momo whispered as Hayato finally opened his eyes and looked to see how dark the room was with a bit of orange light coming in from behind the curtains. He groaned and tried sitting up, only to fall back from pain. "Sore?"

"I think being just sore would've been fine. I can't move anything without my body screaming in pain." Hayato groaned before being handed a bottle of water along with two pills. He quickly drank the pills and water and laid back down, Momo fixing herself so she was laying down in his arms. The two then looked up, hearing Hayato's phone begin to ring and Momo reached over, answering the phone and holding it up to his ear for him.

"Bah! I've been calling you all morning! Don't you know how to answer when your grandfather calls you, boy?" Sorahiko asked on the other line making Hayato groan and weakly grab the phone.

"Hey Grandpa, what can I do you for?"

"Were you part of the mess I've been seeing all morning on the news?"

"Yep..."

"And I can assume that means Izuku Midoriya was part of it too?"

"Uh huh..."

"And did you let your sister get involved?" Hayato tensed up at the question, knowing what was headed his way. "Towa told me she was letting Mira go to I-Island with your girlfriend and your friends, but was she part of that?"

"No, grandpa...I made Mira stay low and hidden while we dealt with the villains."

"You inherited your parents' skill at lying that's for sure." Hayato sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose before hearing Sorahiko chuckle. "Did you see what she could do?"

"Yep."

"I took her under my wing and I've been teaching her a few things, maybe I could teach you too if you weren't so busy training under Nighteye." Sorahiko chuckled proudly while Hayato rolled his eyes. "Speaking of which, Nighteye said he wanted to talk to you about something important. You should give him a call when we're done talking."

"So end the call now and call the hero I interned under?"

"No because I have something else I want to say."

"What is it?"

"Put me on speakerphone." Hayato looked at his phone confused and pressed the icon on the screen to put his grandfather on speakerphone. "Yaoyorozu!" Both teenagers tensed up while Momo looked at the phone surprised that he knew she was there. "I'm not going to tell their parents what happened. But next time I hear my granddaughter got involved in an incident like this, BOTH OF YOU are going to be punished by me. Is that clear?"

"C-Crystal clear..." Momo and Hayato stuttered before the latter ended the call to avoid being yelled at even further.

"Your grandfather is a scary man..." Momo said making Hayato sigh and nod.

"Izuku got the worst end of it, but it's not like Nighteye's any better." Hayato muttered as he dialed the hero.

"Hello, Hayato."

"Did your foresight tell you I was about to call?"

"No, it's the caller id on my phone." Nighteye said making Hayato facepalm. "Good work. I wish I could've warned you sooner."

"It's okay, Sir. But my grandpa just said you had something you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Yes. I have an offer for you, but I'd like to offer it to you in person after your training camp."

"Why not now? I'm on the phone with you, you can easily tell me."

"Given the circumstances, I would rather it be then than now. I'm sure you understand." Nighteye said calmly before beginning to chuckle. "I'll see you in two weeks, enjoy your vacation." Nighteye ended the call and Hayato pinched the bridge of his nose, taking a deep breath and letting out a deep sigh.

"What happened?" Momo asked beginning to play with her boyfriend's hair.

"Sir Nighteye being Sir Nighteye, he tells me he has something to offer me then tells me I have to wait until we get back from camp to be told what it is." Hayato grumbled as he put his phone under his pillow. He looked up to see Momo still playing with his hair and smiled warmly at her. "What are you doing?"

"Just waiting for you to finish talking on the phone so we can spend some time together." Momo replied before noticing how different his smile felt than usual. "What is it?"

"Nothing."

"Hayato, I know you just as well as Midoriya does. You seem different. You don't have to hide secrets from me." Momo said placing a hand on his bandaged arm.

"Nothing's wrong. It's just been a long time since I've felt like this." Momo smiled at his response and moved her hand down, resting it in his.

"Like how?"

"Like I don't have to worry about anything, like a giant weight's been lifted off my shoulders. I spent the majority of our childhood worrying about Izuku because of how things were for him growing up, but after last night: I don't feel that way anymore. Seeing how far he's come in the few months since we started at U.A...I've never been more confident about anything than knowing I don't need to always watch over him like an overprotective brother."

"Really? About anything?" Momo asked with offense hinted in her voice. He chuckled and fixed the way their hands were so that their fingers were locked together.

"Momo Yaoyorozu, being with you is the only thing I don't need to be confident about. It's the only thing I'm sure of."

"And what are you sure of?"

"That I'm crazy for you and I get crazier every day." Hayato whispered placing his forehead on hers. Momo smiled and leaned in for a kiss that Hayato happily returned.

"So, Deku. That was pretty cool what you two did last night." Ochaco said as she and Izuku walked through the expo together.

"Cool? I wouldn't say cool." Izuku noted as he looked at the turned off Full Gauntlet on his wrist. "I would say, awesome."

"You and Hayato really took charge of the situation, I'm jealous." Ochaco said as she discreetly reached for his hand.

"Jealous? Why?"

"Well, you and Hayato make a perfect team. It's like you two share a mind and I don't think I'll ever be at that point with you." Ochaco responded with a mix of sadness and jealousy in her voice. Izuku smiled and grabbed her hand, before stopping and pulling her close to him. "D-Deku?"

"Uraraka, you don't need to worry about that. We're good at being partners, yeah that's true, he and I have been building up that kind of bond and camaraderie for a decade. But you? What you and I have is different, we're connected differently than what I have with Hayato." Izuku said wrapping his arms around her. Ochaco blushed and buried her face into his chest, melting completely into the hug. "You bring out the best in me just by reminding me how lucky I was to decide to stick to my dream and take that entrance exam that day. You've been in my corner when I needed you, and I used to think I didn't even deserve to call you my friend. Now, I think I'm the luckiest guy in the world to know that Ochaco Uraraka, Uravity, is my girlfriend." Ochaco's blush grew until her face was completely red, tightly wrapping her arms around her boyfriend's body.

"Sometimes I forget that besides being an amazing hero, you're a real smooth talker." Izuku smiled and kissed the top of her head before resting his chin on it. "And I'm luckier to have Deku as a boyfriend and best friend."

"Guess we were both pretty lucky that our friends made us go on that date, huh?"

"You mean that date that ended with being chased by Blitz and Hayato being threatened by him?" Ochaco asked making Izuku chuckle and nod.

"A date is still a date." He looked at his phone to see a message coming in from Denki and noticing the time. "We should go get ready for the party."

"Hayato?" Izuku opened the door to his and Hayato's shared hotel room and walked inside, looking for a trace of his best friend. He heard the shower running and knocked on the bathroom door confused. "You in there bud?"

"Uh yeah! Who else would be here?"

"Yaoyorozu, duh! But you should get ready, they're throwing another party tonight!" Izuku said before looking over to his bed and seeing a green and black dress shirt on his bed. "And the shirt on my bed!"

"Gift from Momo! We got a text from Ochaco about the party and she made us some new clothes to replace what we destroyed last night!" Hayato said making Izuku smile. "You gonna shower too?!"

"I'm actually going to go to make a quick call on the balcony before I do, so finish up." Izuku said as he took out his phone and walked out to the balcony, keeping his back turned while he dialed his mother on his phone.

"Izuku?"

"Hey, mom! Sorry I didn't call you last night."

"It's fine, but I'm hearing something about a villain attack on the news? Is that actually true?"

"Yeah...it's a long story." Izuku said resting his arms on the balcony's railing.

"Tell me the shorter version then."

"Well, All Might's friend got into some problems with the sponsors for his research."

"Oh dear."

"Yeah, and his assistant talked him into hiring some villains. The villains had a hidden agenda to steal his research and sell it on the black market, and his assistant wanted a cut of the action so he was planning on betraying him from the beginning." Izuku explained further surprising Inko on the other line.

"Oh my, and then what happened?"

"Everything went the way they planned, but they didn't expect us to get involved."

"And you stopped them?" Inko asked worriedly.

"Of course."

"Oh...well, I'm glad it all worked out then. Did you get badly hurt?"

"No don't worry, I only got a few scrapes and the same with Hayato." Izuku said as he looked out at the setting sun.

"As long as you two are okay, are you two doing anything tonight?"

"We have a party in a little while to attend for the expo."

"Well, don't be out too late. But keep your ringer on, or did you forget what tomorrow is?"

"Of course not. Well, Hayato just got out of the shower so it's my turn. Talk to you later, love you."

"Love you too." Izuku ended the call and walked back into the room to see Hayato holding back laughter.

"Why are you scaring me?" Izuku asked as he grabbed a towel and opened the bathroom door.

"How long until you tell Ochaco that too?" Hayato responded making Izuku freeze in place.

"C-Calm down, you're moving too fast."

"You're right, but then again: what do I know about moving fast?" Hayato asked as he grabbed a white button up shirt with a gold stripe on it. "Hurry up, we're gonna be late."

"It took you long enough!" Mira yelled as the two made their way into the room where the party was being held.

"Don't even start with me, young lady." Hayato scolded pointing at Mira. "Grandpa found out and now I'm in big trouble, so don't think you're off the hook with me."

"Jeez, I was only kidding." Mira muttered before Hayato pulled her in for a hug.

"I don't care if Grumpy the dwarf is mad at me. You did such a good job, you little munchkin." Hayato laughed spinning his sister around. "My little Silver Bolt. By the way, that's gonna be your name."

"Silver Bolt? Sounds like someone the bad guys might have to fear." Mira noted giving her brother an approving nod.

"I like it." Izuku said making Mira blush.

"Me too!" Ochaco added running up to Izuku. "Come on! I wanna dance with you!" Ochaco yelled tugging his arm.

"But I-"

"Please!" Ochaco pleaded hugging his arm. Izuku sighed in defeat and nodded.

"Okay." Izuku said quietly making Ochaco cheer and pull him to the area in front of the speakers to dance.

"He can stare down a villain, but he can't say no to his girlfriend. What a guy." Hayato laughed crossing his arms. Mira and Momo looked at each other and nodded before Momo grabbed him and followed the two. "Hey!"

"You can't say no either." Momo said while their group of friends looked on happily.

"They're cute couples, right?" Eijiro asked wrapping his arm around Katsuki's neck. He growled and elbowed him in the stomach to make him let go. "Ouch! Jealous?"

"What the fuck do I have to be jealous of?!" Katsuki yelled walking away. Eijiro laughed and turned his attention back to his friends before Denki placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Speaking of which, you gonna do it?" Denki asked making Eijiro blush slightly and take a step back.

"No! Come on, bro. It was a long time ago!"

"Nahhh, I can still see that sparkle in your eyes!" Denki yelled catching the attention of the rest of the group.

"What is it?" Tenya asked making Denki chuckle.

"Kirishima~" Eijiro gulped as Denki took a step forward. "You gonna say it or am I?"

"What's there to say?"

"Why are you guys acting so weird?" Kyoka asked before Denki wrapped his arm around her and pointed at Eijiro.

"Our pal's had a crush on Ashido since Junior High!" Denki yelled making Kyoka stab him with her jack. He let go of her and screamed in pain while she looked at Eijiro, with an intrigued smile on her face.

"You do?"

"I-It was a long time ago, Jiro. Nothing else to say about it really." Eijiro replied waving his hands defensively.

"Well, if I had some news to tell you: would you take it with a grain of salt?" Kyoka asked twirling her jack around her finger.

"U-Uh..."

"Mina's got a thing for you, she might not say it out loud but she lights up whenever you're around." Kyoka said making Eijiro blush and freeze in place. "That's the kind of reaction I think she'd like to see. Ask her out when we get back." Kyoka said walking away from the boys.

"You hear that?! You've got a chance with her!" Denki yelled happily wrapping his arm around Eijiro's neck.

"Y-You should've told Jiro about how you feel too." Eijiro whispered earning a nod from him. "Why not?"

"She probably sees me as an annoying brother."

"What's with all this couple talk?" Shoto asked confused before seeing Mira watching the four dancing with a longing look. "I haven't properly introduced myself, Shoto Todoroki." Shoto said extending his hand to Mira. She turned and blushed before shaking his hand.

"M-Mira Kiryuu. You're my brother's friend?"

"Yes, and you have abilities like him?"

"I guess? I think it's fair to say we have really similar powers." Mira said remembering how her brother looked when he fought Wolfram with Izuku.

"Well, would you like to dance?" Shoto asked extending his hand again. "It looks like you want to dance with someone, so why not with me?"

"U-Um...sure, I guess." Mira said taking Shoto's hand and following him to join the two couples on the floor.

"You look beautiful." Izuku said as he looked closely at Ochaco's new pink and white dress. She blushed and looked up at Izuku giving him a big smile.

"And you look handsome." Ochaco said resting her head on Izuku's chest.

"Well, at least now I know you know how to clean up." Momo said blushing slightly as she looked at Hayato's outfit.

"We've been together a month and you decide to say something like this NOW?"

"I'm saying, you look absolutely handsome." Momo said shaking her head in disbelief at him.

"Nahhh. I look lazy compared to my gorgeous girlfriend." Hayato said making Momo blush even more.

"Well, you do look like you woke up an hour ago." Momo laughed as she looked at the way he was dressed one more time.

"Because I did!" Hayato laughed pulling Momo closer to him.

"We're going to join the others at the party, do you want anything else Papa?" Melissa asked as she and All Might stood in David's hospital room, looking at the man as he laid in his bed with the shoulder Wolfram shot wrapped in bandages.

"Well, I'd like a moment alone with All Might." David said making Melissa nod and begin to leave the room.

"See you tomorrow morning, Papa." Melissa said blowing her father a kiss and walking out of the room. Once she closed the door, All Might deflated back to his true form and looked at David confused.

"What's wrong, Dave?"

"Toshi, I wanted to apologize for what I did." David said surprising the man. "I was so hellbent on keeping the status quo that I created a device that could've brought the end of the world."

"Dave, it was a simple mistake. But it's gone now, when Wolfram was defeated: the headset was destroyed beyond repair."

"And I'm glad it was, a device like that should never exist for any reason. But I see that now, because now I see that bright light I saw in you so many years ago: in Izuku Midoriya." David said looking out the window to the tower where he knew the boy was with his friends. "He's really a special kid."

"But he's still not ready, as his teacher: I still see that he has a long way to go before he's ready to take on the responsibility of being my successor." All Might said before hearing David struggling to laugh. "Don't push yourself, Dave."

"He's just like a certain transfer student that tore through that wall to save me from that fire, that's all that matters." David said before beginning to cough from his held back laughter. "And Hayato Kiryuu, he reminds me of me."

"How so?"

"He's there supporting him the entire time, I don't think anyone will ever have his back the way he does."

"He has a hidden power within him that I don't think even he knows he has." All Might said thinking about what he saw last night in that last moment of the fight. "The bond he shares with Young Midoriya, it drives him to be faster and stronger than he is when they fight together." All Might said as he remembered seeing the image of a younger Gran Torino and of Sir Nighteye when Hayato and Izuku delivered their final punches to Wolfram. 'There may be more hidden within One for All than even we think, the power to store and pass on power may be able to share power with those closest to the current user. It's a stretch but it may explain the power he had last night.'

"Excuse me, everyone!" Hayato looked at the time seeing it was only a minute to midnight and ran up on the stage in the middle of the room, hours after Melissa and All Might joined. He grabbed the microphone and the room went silent as they all turned to face him. "I know I'm just a random kid here, but I'm one of All Might's students in U.A. High School and I'd like to take a quick moment to say something important to my best friend in the whole world." The group from 1-A except for Katsuki smiled and stood closer to Izuku as the time changed to midnight. "Today is July 15th, and I have one thing to say: Happy 16th Birthday, buddy. You've been my best friend for nearly 12 years and I can't ask for a better friend or partner. You're the best!"

"Happy Birthday, Midoriya!" Izuku turned around and jumped up in surprise as his friends all wished him happy birthday. He teared up and smiled at the sight in front of him before his girlfriend wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a deep and passionate kiss. After a moment she pulled back and smiled, placing a hand on his cheek.

"Happy birthday, my amazing hero." Ochaco whispered as Izuku held her in a tight embrace. He felt a giant hand on his shoulder and turned around to see All Might in his muscular form raising a glass.

"To my student, and the boy who has taught me what it's like to have a son, Happy Birthday Young Midoriya!" All Might announced raising a glass of champagne making the rest of the room do the same.

"Happy Birthday!" Izuku smiled as the entire room wished him a happy birthday before turning back to Hayato who stood on the stage smiling at him.

"You're ridiculous." Izuku chuckled holding back his tears as Hayato jumped down and walked over to him. Ochaco smiled at the sight and took a step back from her boyfriend to let him pull his best friend in for a tight hug.

"Why? For getting and giving you the attention and praise you deserve? You've been by my side for years...you're my best friend, you've been my hero, but especially: you're my brother."

"Shut up...just shut up." Izuku said as he couldn't hold back the tears anymore and cried happily into Hayato's shoulder.
