Chapter 25: The Power of Three

_Ruby's POV_

"So how's the new arm doing?" Izuku asked the support student.

"It's ok, there are some side effects at times." Ranger explained.

"Like what?" Ruby asked in curiosity.

_Flashback_

"Can I ask you two something?" Ranger asked the hero students.

"What is it?" Jiro asked.

"And why are you flipping us off?" Blake asked, somewhat amused.

"I don't have full control of it yet." Ranger began before asking in a nervous tone, "I was wondering if you two might like to do something later?"

"What did you have in mind?" Jiro asked in amusement at his nervousness.

"We're still on I-Island and there's that weird amusement park that's like a regular amusement park on crack." Ranger replied, "There's also a theatre showing holograms of old rock concerts."

"That sounds awesome Blake responded, "I'm in."

"Can't be that bad." Jiro added.

_Flashback End_

"And it wasn't." Ranger finished explaining.

"Let me get this straight." Izuku began, "You asked out both Blake and Jiro and are now dating both of them."

"Pretty much." Ranger replied.

"How does that work exactly?" Ruby asked in curiosity.

"You see, while I'm dating them both, they're also dating one another and if one of them wants to date someone else then we need to agree to date them also." Ranger explained.

"Makes sense." Izuku replied, "We'll catch you later."

_Izuku's POV Hours Later_

"So I was thinking…" Ruby began, "You know how Robin is in that relationship where he's dating both Blake and Jiro?"

"Yeah, that polyamorous relationship." Izuku replied, "Why do you ask?"

"You know…" Ruby replied in an awkward tone.

"Do you want to add someone into our relationship or something?" Izuku asked, somewhat amused, "Cause your answer will affect my answer."

"If it helps she is extremely cute." Ruby replied, now fully catching Izuku's attention.

"She?" Izuku asked, "Cause I have to tell you that most guys would agree with adding another girl into their relationship on the spot."

"Most?" Ruby asked in shock.

"The ones who wouldn't are the ones who are not open to polyamorous relationships or are in a gay polyamourous relationship." Isuku explained, "So who is it that you want to include?"

"Promise not to laugh." Ruby replied.

"I promise I won't laugh." Izuku responded.

"It's Velvet." Ruby began, "It's just, she's so…"

"I get it." Izuku replies, "I'm not even surprised to be honest."

"Wait, what?" Ruby asked in shock.

"You aren't as subtle as you think you are." Izuku began explaining, "I would catch you staring at her at random times and I found the drawings."

"YOU FOUND MY DRAWINGS?" Ruby asked in mortification, "I kept those in a locked case."

"A locked case in my room." Izuku reminded her, "Besides, the drawings were more cute than lewd."

"Well, what's your answer?" Ruby asked.

"If she agrees to it then I'd be ok with it." Izuku began, "What even brought this up anyways?"

"If you must know, I overheard her talking to her friend from the second year class about how she thought we were both really attractive and she would like to date one of us." Ruby began, "As for me, she reminds me of this stuffed bunny I had as a child that I used to sleep with at night."

"So your saying she likes both of us and she reminds you of that old plushie you have on a shelf above your bed." Izuku summarized.

"Are you still ok with it?" Ruby asked.

"Of course." Izuku began, "I think she's adorable and based on our late night conversations it couldn't be anyone better.

"Why were you having late night conversations with her?" Ruby asked.

"I sometimes like smoking in the middle of the night and she will sometimes be watching stuff on hulu so we talk at night." Izuku explained.

"What do you even talk about?" Ruby asked.

_Flashback_

"Didn't think anyone else was up." Izuku said when he noticed the rabbit-eared girl in the common room.

"I was about to say the same." Velvet replied, "Why are you awake at this hour?"

"I had a nightmare so I figured a cigarette would calm my nerves a bit." Izuku explained, "What about you?"

"I have trouble sleeping at night sometimes so I come down here to watch hulu till I get tired." Velvet replied, "What was your nightmare about? I heard it helps to talk about it sometimes."

"Just what could have happened if no one came to the rescue on any of my kidnappings." Izuku replied, "What are you watching anyways?"

"Highschool Of The Dead." Velvet replied, "It's more fanservicey than I thought it would be."

"If you think this is a lot, you should check out the OVA." Izuku responded, "That one is weird."

"I'll take your word for it." Velvet replied, "Why didn't you talk to Ruby about your nightmare?"

"She looked peaceful in her sleep and I didn't have the heart to wake her." Izuku explained, "Besides, I can handle myself after a nightmare."

_Present Day_

"You know you can wake me up if you have to talk about it." Ruby reminded him.

"I know, it's just, you look so angelic when you sleep." Izuku replied, causing Ruby to turn red at his compliment, "It would be a crime to wake you."

"While I appreciate your compliment, I much prefer you being in a good place mentaly."

"I appreciate the sentiment." Izuku began, "Also, do you think she would agree to be in a relationship with us?"

"Here's the thing about that." Ruby began causing Izuku to gain a look of suspicion.

"You already asked her, didn't you?" Izuku asked.

"A few hours after your heart transplant." Ruby began explaining, "She was worried after she heard why you needed the transplant so she just decided to go for it and ask me if we would be interested in going out with her before we go back to UA and I told her that it would be ok if you were ok with it."

"You can tell her that I'm ok with it, besides, there's a arcade near where we're staying that I would like to try out." Izuku replied.

"Just like our first date." Ruby responded.

"It's a great first date idea and it's something all parties present enjoy." Izuku replied, "Besides, it was your idea to go to an arcade in the first place."

"That's true. Remember how I beat you at DDR?" Ruby replied.

"I still beat you at Mortal Kombat." Izuku pointed out.

"True. I'll talk to Velvet tomorrow and see what she thinks." Ruby replied, "Also, I'm on top tonight."

_Random POV_

"You think that we can get our revenge?" an angry sounding voice asked.

"It will take some time, but we can get our vengeance." a hatian sounding voice replied, "After all, Hell couldn't hold us. No matter how hard that Ozzy Osbourne looking motherfucker tried."

"It will take time after all." the first voice replied, "After all, everyone thinks we're dead, so we have the advantage. Right Papa Midnite."

"You know it, All for One."

Authors Note: So, All for One and Papa Midnite are back. As for the whole Ruby/Izuku/Velvet thing I am planning, I'll reveal the answer in the next chapter. Also the next chapter is going to skip forward a few 2 years into the future. I have some dark stuff planned and it would be better to have the characters in their early 20's during that than in their late teens. Let me know if this is welcome or not.

As Always
