Nedzu sat in the U.A. teacher's conference listening to his coworkers bicker back and forth about whether or not they should continue with the internships under pro heroes or not. Nedzu isn't sure which side he's on if he's being honest he doesn't want to coddle the children but with the recent threats and the return of All For One has certainly made times tumultuous. Not to mention the issue he talked with Izuku about earlier today was weighing heavily on his mind. Could she really be a traitor? If it's not her there's still the problem of the cameras, someone must have gotten into the U.A. system but how? The schools security is top notch. Ugh this was giving the mouse a headache, one problem at a time Nedzu.
Midnight smacked her whip on the table. "We can't send the students out right now. That warp quirk user can just start picking our students off the street, how could we possibly guarantee their safety!"
Snipe spun his revolver casually. "He hasn't done that before besides we can't keep the students from learning or we will be sending out subpar heroes."
"I'm with Snipe on this one sorry Midnight. We can't just shelter the future pro heroes from the world, they need all the experience they can get ESPECIALLY during times like this." Thirteen added.
"It's not like we're suspending them indefinitely just until they are 2nd years like with the work studies." Cementoss joined in now.
Toshinori had been sitting in silence for awhile now, mimicking the principal's silence but he finally felt like it was time to join in. "I think we should still hold them, it's risky potentially yes but these are necessary experiences for the students to have."
Nedzu had finally had enough of this back and forth. "Enough. We've been going in circles with this argument. We're having the internships, end of story. If something happens then we will take further action but as it stands we cannot appear weak. Plus the students will be guarded by pro heroes during the entire weekend, it's not like were just throwing them to the wolves. Now this meeting is dismissed, Aizawa-san and Toshinori-san please stay behind though we have further matters to discuss."
Nedzu waited until the other teachers left before continuing. "Aizawa you are already aware of what were about to discuss but you are a tad behind Toshinori. Has Izuku mentioned any fears regarding another student to you?"
Toshinori simply shook his head. "Not that i'm aware of."
Nedzu continued. "Well simply put he has some interesting theories regarding Toru Hagakure and some ... peculiar actions that she has taken in the past few weeks, Aizawa can you attest to what Izuku said about the attendance?"
"I can unfortunately, she was there in the morning and gone by the end of class at some point she somehow managed to sneak out of the class without alerting me or any of the other students. It further makes me think that she can control her invisibility as someone would have noticed if she took her clothes off, it'd be much easier if she just turned her clothes invisible before slipping out."
Toshinori was confused to say the least. "Why are we talking about Young Hagakure?"
"Your apprentice Izuku has brought to my attention that she is likely involved with the League of Villains and All For One. I have had Tsukauchi start investigating her past as well. We are the only 4 besides Izuku of course, who are aware of this investigation and we are going to keep it that way."
Toshinori coughed up blood at that sudden declaration. "Wait what? Why her?"
"The problem child has some really good points, she has lied to me on multiple occasions, she mysteriously disappeared from the class the same day the USJ plans were stolen, she's lying about her quirk, and someone tampered with the cameras to the teacher's lounge and my class. The only two places where we could see a door open by itself, i'm sure you can see a pattern appearing here All Might." Aizawa stared deep into the man's eyes.
Toshinori was in shock, these were not small accusations but the more he listened the more it made sense. "I... I see, and Young Izuku was the one to notice these details?"
Nedzu spoke next. "Yes he brought these issues to my eyes, even if she ends up not being a spy there is someone at U.A. who is. The camera tampering alone confirms that and I trust you two to keep this under wraps as I can definitely prove that neither of you are traitor's. All Might for obvious reasons and you Aizawa because the league tried to kill you and came very close to succeeding, they would not attack their spy like that. Now as to how we move forward with that bit of information, what do you both propose. I would like to hear what you have to say before I say anything."
Aizawa grunted before speaking. "Midoriya gave me an idea that could have some use. We could simply have him steal Hagakure's quirk, if he does turn invisible that would greatly alleviate our suspicions but if he doesn't i'm sure you know what that means. Plus we could easily arrange a match between the two or engineer a situation where him stealing her quirk wouldn't raise any suspicion."
"Hoh I must say Izuku continues to surprise even me. That is a good idea, what do you think All Might?" The rat quickly switching his gaze between the two.
"I honestly am not that good at subterfuge or sneaking around and the like. That being said I trust Young Midoriya implicitly, if he thinks it's a good idea then so do I." The skeleton explained.
"Well then we can use hero training as an excuse to create this situation so to speak, now for the other matter. We need to figure how the cameras are being tampered with and if there are further security risks that need to be addressed. I am going to personally overhaul the security and firewalls guarding our data and servers. On top of that me and Powerloader are nearly finished with the warp cancelling field as to prevent another USJ. I am thinking about bringing him into our group as I mostly trust him and I need his expertise, after confirming he is not the spy via detective Tsukauchi we will bring him in. Does anyone have any other questions or matters that need to be addressed?" Nedzu questioned the men before him.
"Just one for All Might, how do we want to do the hero training thing, we need to settle this sooner rather than later and with internships coming up we may not be able to get the situation under wraps for an extended amount of time. I say we do this tomorrow, what was your current lesson plan?" Aizawa looked at the man in question.
"Well there's two things we need to actually consider the first being that Hagakure is umm nude in her hero costume, if we have Young Midoriya take her quirk during hero training that could pose a problem as for the second thing tomorrow is sparring." Toshinori sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.
"That first problem is easily fixable and as for the second perfect. I'm helping you with hero training tomorrow, it's going to be sparring with full quirk use and it will be done in track uniforms not hero costumes. We will have Midoriya use his quirk on her during this period after they are 'randomly' paired together. Do you have a problem with that?" Eraser said as he leveled a glare that left no room for doubt.
Toshinori visibly straightened at that. "N-no that's fine."
"Good." Aizawa stated before returning to his mostly neutral posture.
"Well that's settled then men, tomorrow we make our first move in closing in on the traitor one way or another." The rat began cackling. "They will regret messing with U.A. whoever they are."
Izuku was stressed from the long day he had finally made it back to his room, he opened the door only to discover Momo laying on his bed reading his hero notebooks. "Oh hey Momo... not that i'm not happy to see you but how did you get in here?"
She didn't even turn to look at him before responding. "Izu dear, I can literally create anything I want with my mind. What's stopping me from making a copy out of your key." She flipped another page as Izuku stared in abject fear.
"That's uh ... huh okay fair. So which hero are you reading about in there anyway?" Izuku went from shock to resignation in a heartbeat.
"Oh mine obviously, I was curious what you'd written about me and I have to say Izuku your kind of a stalker. I take up like 8 different pages alone, I checked the other heroes and i'm nearly double the next closest in number of pages and that hero in question is All Might. Did you really need to include my likes, favourite colors, dislikes, dreams, convictions and all this other stuff. If I to had to guess i'd say you liked me." The sheer nonchalance with how she was picking Izuku apart was scary.
Blushing furiously he ran over and grabbed the book from her hands before she could read anymore. "Hey c'mon that's not fair."
Momo saw the pout on his face and just started laughing. "Oh? Is this why you make fun of me all the time, it's a lot more fun than I realized. Consider us even for the snake thing." She stuck her tongue at the boy before pulling him into a hug and onto to the bed. "I think it's flattering really, makes me see how much you pay attention and that you really care about me. I like it." She whispered the last part into his ear.
"Okay who are you and where did the the real Momo go." Izuku hadn't been teased by the girl this much ever and he would never admit that he liked it, nope never.
"Aww c'mon I can't always let you get away with the stuff you do to me besides, you owe me that massage." She winked at him before pushing him off and laying down on the bed gesturing for him to get to work.
What is today Izuku thought, alright his incredibly hot girlfriend is actively teasing him and asking for a massage. I can handle this without short circuiting. C'mon Izuku we killed Nomu, a super weapon designed to kill the world's strongest hero we can handle Momo laying face down on his bed wearing nothing other than some baggy workout pants and a very fit form revealing t-shirt that is definitely not showing him the color of the bra she's wearing underneath, green by the way. Izuku slowly walked up to the bed before climbing on and straddling Momo.
Izuku realized this was his chance to turn her into a blushing mess. "Is this position fine Mo?" He whispered into her ear as playfully as he could. The eep he got from the girl only furthered his drive to turn her into a tomato. Readying himself Deku slowly moved his hands to her shoulder receiving a slight gasp once he made contact. His fingers tensed and his arms started smoothly moving back and forth with his hands gently kneading the skin of her shoulders.
Momo found that his pace was both gentle and precise, he wasn't clumsily fumbling about, she wondered how he got this good.
Izuku's hands are...so smooth but strangely firm as well. He has such a nice touch Momo thought to herself before closing her eyes and relaxing back into the Deku's hands. Momo was in heaven at this point all of the stress and knots she accrued during the sport's festival were melting away.
The sounds he got from his girlfriend definitely let him know he was doing a good job, everytime he moved to a new location she let out another small groan before it blew into a full blown moan. He was having trouble keeping himself from roaming at this point and his hormones were going into overdrive. Izuku decided to spice things up so he slid further down her back so he could roam even lower not hearing any complaints from the girl below him he started to work his hands in circles at her lower back.
"Uhh". Momo wimpered out as Izuku roamed lower and lower, surely he wasn't going to try anything like that today? She was already feeling incredibly good, basically melting under his touch at this point. If he wanted to do that was she okay with that? They had been dating for awhile now, her inner thoughts were interrupted as she felt him hit another good spot she let out another mewl.
The sounds coming from the girl beneath him were driving him crazy and she wasn't stopping him so let's see if I can take this a bit further. Izuku grabbed the shirt Momo was wearing and tucked it up as high as he could get it without removing it before continuing his work. Having access to her bare flesh made this much easier for him since the offending fabric was no longer denying him the ability to grind his hands into her as he pleased.
Momo felt her shirt slowly hiking up before she felt bare hands kneeding into her back, the feeling was ten times greater now that it was Izuku's bare hands. She leaned into his touch before letting out a soft moan, she could definitely feel her stress floating away. Unfortunately for her a knock came at the door immediately causing them to jump apart. Momo turned and blushed heavily when she saw Izuku's face again.
"Problem Child it's Aizawa, come meet me in my room in 5 minutes. We need to discuss our plans going forward." The man's speech was tired as per usual.
Momo held her breath not letting any sound escape her, she couldn't let her teacher find out what they had been doing. Hell she wasn't sure how she had let it get that far, Izuku's touch just felt that good. Thankfully for her, her boyfriend was a lot more composed.
"Yes Aizawa-Sensei I'll be right there." Izuku answered in his best attempt to not let the frustration he was currently feeling show. Once he heard Aizawa shamble off he turned to Momo before speaking. "Hey you were okay with that right? I don't want to push things too far too fast, if your not comfortable just tell me and i'll stop."
Momo was still blushing heavily before she let out a quiet voice. "It's fine and I know you wouldn't Izu, it just surprised me is all. I kinda deserved it for teasing you so much after all." She paused before trying to change the subject. "So what did Aizawa-Sensei want?"
Izuku rubbed the back of his head trying to come up with a lie as quickly as possible. "Oh he wanted to talk to me about the quirks i'll be handing out and stuff. It's nothing major i'll probably be back within 10-20 minutes Momo."
"Oh ok i'll see you when you get back then." She gave him a hug before sending him off.
Izuku felt a tad guilty since she believed him so easily but this was for her safety as well as well as his. Izuku swiftly exited the room after their hug, at least aizawa was only 3 doors down.
The quirk stealer knocked on his teachers door, which was quickly opened by the person in question. He was quietly ushered into the room. "I assume this is about you know what Sensei?"
Aizawa simply nodded. "Here's the plan, tomorrow you will use your quirk on her during hero lessons. You will be 'randomly' paired with her during full quirk use sparring. Do you understand?" The eraser quirk user said.
"That should be easy enough, anything else sir?" Izuku thought it was simple enough.
"Regardless of the outcome do not act in a way that raises suspicions. If you don't turn invisible don't act immediately, just act confused and return her quirk. We will make a move later on once Tsukauchi arrives. Got it? If you need to I authorize quirk use to defend yourself." Aizawa knew he probably shouldn't be doing this but he wanted to be safe.
Izuku gulped at that. "Understood."
"Good then get to sleep. I'll see you tomorrow." Aizawa gestured for the boy to leave.
Izuku returned to his room to see that Momo had left, huh weird I guess it was getting pretty late guess she needed to do something. The days where they didn't sleep in the same room were pretty rare lately. Ah well this is a good chance to test out my life giver quirk but when he went to his desk he paled after seeing a note on it. "If you want her back alive come to Gym Gamma by yourself, tell no one. I'll know if you do" WHAT THE HELL Izuku was mentally panicking. This is so bad the traitor knows we're on to them.
Shit shit shit he had to at least tell Aizawa but what if he's being watched? Oh I know, Izuku grabbed his pencil and created a creature that looked quite odd if he were being honest. It was a small bird with opposable feet so it can pick things up he grabbed a piece of paper and wrote "Gym Gamma, Momo was kidnapped, am being watched. If they see you threatened to kill Momo be quiet." He mentally ordered the bird to knock on Aizawa's window a minute after he left. He opened the door to his balcony pretending to leave it open because he was panicking. He started flying towards Gym Gamma while using Silence, it would be hard to see him against the night sky. Hopefully Aizawa would arrive in time to help him.
Izuku touched the ground outside the door to Gym Gamma he activated thermal vision and Night vision before he entered the room lest he be taking by surprise. He couldn't fail here he wouldn't let Momo down. Izuku opened the door and spoke into the room "I'm here and I came alone." He couldn't see anyone else in the room but then he heard the intercom blare to life.
A distorted grainy voice came through the speakers, probably some kind of speech changer Izuku realized. "I see you have complied with my demands, I trust you understand the severity of the situation?"
"Of course I do but what do you want? That being said I fail to see what you hope to accomplish with this. If you do anything to her your done, your alone, surrounded by other heroes in the middle of U.A.'s Campus." Izuku used basic logic to help appeal to the villain.
There were multiple seconds before the voice crackled in response. "...I am aware, that is why I called you here alone. I want to make a deal. As it stands I'm going to be caught soon and I can't return to my master after lying to him. I would be killed on the spot after my quirk was stolen. Don't you find it funny that the bad guys didn't know your real quirk at the USJ? I really didn't want to hurt you guys, so I lied about everyone's quirks. He was forcing me into it, so I played along until I was safe here at U.A., I know what I did was wrong but it was going to happen even if I tried to stop it. I really didn't want to hurt anyone I swear." The voice was getting frantic towards the end.
"Alright so why contact me and not a teacher or someone else?" C'mon Eraserhead i'm buying as much time as I can here, Izuku didn't know how stable or unstable this person was and he didn't want to chance anything.
"Well you see I kinda figured you would be able to talk to them for me since they trust you and all, I have information they would want and if you could get me pardoned that would be amazing. Just tell them the traitor wants to make a deal. I wanted you to be my go between so I may remain incognito until I know it's safe for me here."
"Plus I know you won't do anything to risk the safet-AHHHHH." The line suddenly cut after the voice screamed, Izuku sat in silence for the longest 5 seconds of his life.
"Midoriya we got her, and Yaoyorozu is safe, come up here." Izuku had never been more happy to hear the voice of his perpetually tired teacher.
Izuku quickly made his way to the control room he knew was in Gym Gamma. When he entered the room finally he saw a familiar pair of floating clothes handcuffed to the table. Aizawa and Snipe were sitting off to the side and Momo was bound and gagged over in the corner. Izuku immediately went over to her and let her out. "Are you okay? Did she hurt you?" Izuku had never seen Momo in such fear, she definitely had been crying at some point. Izuku just silently pulled her into a hug. "It's okay it's over your safe." He gently stroked her back while he talked to her.
Sniff "S-S-She held me at knifepoint said she would slit my throat I've never been so scared. She drugged me before she brought me here." She had begun openly weeping at this point, Izuku just silently continued to hold her.
"Midoriya not to interrupt but what happened? Good job sending that bird by the way." Aizawa cut in between the two.
"I think it best we hear it from Hagakure herself, she said she wanted to make a deal after all." Izuku let out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding.
The invisible girl finally spoke. "Like I said they forced me into doing it. If I didn't they were going to kill me. I never wanted to do any of this I swear, I even fed them misinformation to help you all." She said this pleadingly like she was absolutely frightened of everything. "I can give you information, their location, numbers, how they contact me, the way I got into the school camera feeds. All of it I swear please just don't send me to prison, they have people on the inside I won't last a week before they kill me."
Aizawa's phone began ringing. "Hello Nedzu, I assume you've been told of the situation."
The rat merely smirked. "Of course and let her know i'm interested in this deal of hers but it's late so we will begin the questioning tomorrow, put me on speaker." Aizawa did so. " you did such a good job being brave as you were, and Izuku good job silently letting us know about the danger she was in. Now , If I am correct in what i've heard you were an unwilling participant and you are willing to sell out your fellow comrades?"
Hagakure immediately spat out her answer. "Of course I never wanted to do this in the first place. I was kidnapped at the age of 7 for my quirk, that bastard groomed me into his perfect little spy."
The rat cackled. "Good, very good. We will do all the questioning in the morning. I'm sorry but you must be locked up tonight , tomorrow after we verify everything then you can be set free. If you listen to our terms we can work something out."
Izuku saw the clothes visibly relax at that or at least thought he did, floating clothes and all that. "Yes of course Principal, anything to keep me out of All for One's hands."
Aizawa stiffened when he heard that name spoken. "All for One's alive? I thought All Might killed him."
Snipe finally spoke. "Whose this All for One pardner? I've never heard of him."
"You're lucky then, he's a demon in human skin. He has the same quirk as Midoriya but he used it for villany. I'm sure you realize how dangerous that is Snipe." Aizawa was still reeling.
Izuku finally decided to voice his opinion on the matter. "Sensei we need to tell the class about him, he's going to target us again. I was planning on asking All Might about it but since we're already here the class needs to know. He will come for me and there's no way he won't want to take revenge on Hagakure for selling them out. They need to know how dangerous he is and consequently the danger they are in." Izuku spoke about the very real threat that their class faced.
Aizawa regretted the day he let this walking atomic bomb into his life. "You are correct Midoriya, we will have to tell them. I suppose you want to be the one to do it?"
Izuku nodded. "We're doing hero names tomorrow right? That'll be the perfect moment and if your wondering how I know Nedzu told me."
"Fine just make sure you run it by me before that, god today has been too long. Let's go Hagakure your under arrest for the time being." Aizawa grabbed both her hands so she couldn't move before Snipe released the cuff trapping her against the table before reapplying it to her other uncuffed hand.
Izuku watched as the pair dragged her off before turning back to the shaking girl in front of him that he absolutely refused to let go of. Izuku started tearing up. "I'm so glad your safe I don't know what I would have done if something happened to you. I'm assigning you a guard what kind of animal do you want? It has to be something small and capable of flight though." Momo stared into his eyes, Izuku saw the remains of her tear stained face.
"You dummy, just make it cute and your making one for yourself too. The reverse is true you know. I couldn't live myself if something happened to you." She started tearing up again. "Is this why you went with Aizawa? I knew you weren't being 100% with me when you said it was about quirks, how can you keep stuff like this from me. If I had known I wouldn't have let her into your room and I would have never been caught. You keep keeping secrets from me I thought you promised you wouldn't do that anymore."
Izuku saw the sad face she had, she wasn't angry with him, no she was disappointed with herself, like she hadn't earned his trust. "Aizawa told me not to tell you but your right no more. From now on you'll always know everything I know, I will never deceive you or leave you out of the loop again. I do trust you ya know, so please it's not your fault, it's mine. I love you Momo."
"As long as you promise for real this time and I love you too you dummy." Momo simply rested her head against his shoulders.
They remained like that for what felt like a very long time before Izuku stood, picking up Momo Bridal carry style when he did. If her surprised yelp was anything to go by she hadn't been expecting that. "I'm taking you back and we're going to sleep. Today has been very very long." Momo just nodded and off they went, Izuku didn't stop until they were safe and sound in Izuku's room where they drifted off peacefully.
