"Miss Homura Yofuin, was it?"

"I recall that being my name, yes."

Thrown off by the sharpness of the woman's tone, Izuku took a moment to conduct himself properly. "Then I'm sure you know who I am. I heard that you weren't able to use your quirk after you had your accident. I was hoping to ask you about it."

"Sure. It's not like I have much else to do."

Izuku was standing inside the hospital room where one of the derailment victims, Homura Yofuin, was staying. A severe looking woman with a rigid composure, her fiery orange eyes affixed him with a gaze that was penetrating. He had just wrapped up questioning with the previous victim, who had possessed an elasticity quirk that allowed him to stretch his body. That was what allowed the High End to balloon itself up. Yofuin was the other victim, who had possessed a quirk that let her build up steam (aptly named Steam) inside her body as she grew angrier until it would explode out from her when she couldn't contain it any more. A literal outburst of anger. Not helped in the slightest by her career as a romance manga author.

Izuku could sense, despite never meeting her before, that Yofuin was deflated somehow. Lacking some type of fire that had occupied her before, driven before her. It wasn't only the trauma of the train derailment, but it seemed the loss of her quirk had taken an immediate effect to her personality. Izuku couldn't help but let his mind wander toward Himiko and the effects quirks had on psychology. But that was another matter for another day.

Izuku conducted his questioning. "What do you remember feeling right before the train crashed? Don't force yourself to remember if you can't but if you're able to, I would really appreciate it."

"Well, I remember nearly going kersplat from the change in velocity," Yofuin snarked. "That was pretty terrifying. After that, it's just... a blur." She shook her head. "Why are you asking me this? I was already interviewed about this shit from hospital staff and the cops."

Izuku couldn't help but let a small chuckle escape him. She wasn't too dissimilar to Kyoka now that he really thought about it, fiery temper and all. Not too dissimilar to Katsuki, either.

Yofuin ended up blushing, remembering who she was talking to. "Oh, b-but I'm more than okay with answering whatever you have to ask, sir Deku sir! Sir! Uh..." She bowed. "Sorry. I can be snappy."

"It's fine. I wasn't expecting anything, anyhow. I'll ask you a couple more questions and then—"

"Hang on," Yofuin interrupted him. "I think I might remember something..."

Izuku perked up, noticing how Yofuin's brash demeanor had taken a severe dip. She shuddered. "The crash just happened. It wasn't like the train was suddenly losing control; in fact, it was slowing down. But then something knocked into us. Something big. I lost consciousness after that, and when I woke up I was hooked up to these machines and my quirk was gone."

"I see," Izuku said. "And how did you feel after you woke up?"

Yofuin gripped her bed sheets until her knuckles turned white. "Wrong. Like somebody had taken something from me. And it's not like I'm angry anymore, I don't have the energy for it. Now that I think about it, maybe Steam was the reason I would always get so wound up in the first place. I just don't know what to do now. I mean, a lot of times my quirk would get in the way, but to still have it taken away without warning." She shook her head. "It isn't fair."

Izuku placed a hand on her shoulder. He gave the gentlest, most natural smile he could. "You're right. It isn't."

"What was it like, being quirkless?" Yofuin blurted out. "Oh, I'm sorry..."

"No, no, I get that one a lot. Um... Well, for you, I'd imagine it wouldn't affect your career too much. But that doesn't stop the way people look at you when you're quirkless. Sometimes the looks of pity you get are more insulting than any harassment you'd face. It's like when they see you, all they see is..."

"Nothing, right?" A voice said from the door. Izuku turned to see a pair of floating gloves waving at him. "Sorry to interrupt, but I was hearing the quirkless part of the conversation and, well, I feel I can kind of relate. Not entirely of course, but somewhat."

"Toru?"

"I thought I'd help Mina with this case," she explained. "For some reason, she stayed up super late the other night and had to readjust her sleeping schedule. I thought I'd help her out in this case. Seems like you've beaten me to the punch though."

"Yeah," Izuku said nervously, knowing the reason behind Mina's sleeping problems. Yofuin bowed again as she greeted Toru.

"Ms. Invisible Girl. I wasn't expecting to be graced with even more esteemed company."

"It's all part of the job." Izuku continued his questioning from there, Toru listening in and chipping in with a couple of her own. Where Yofuin had been prior to riding the train, any suspicious behavior, and of course what steps she would like to take moving forward without a quirk. Fortunately, she said she needed no such assistance and could handle the transition on her own.

"But before you go," she said as Izuku and Toru were about to make their way out. "Here. For your trouble." She pulled a manga volume out of her bag and gave it to Izuku. Reading the title, it said The Tide Past Jupiter. The cover featured a dashing, messy-haired man with pretty features standing on the deck of a spaceship with a red-skinned alien girl in his arms. Her cheery expression and dark sclera reminded him of Mina.

"This is your manga?"

"Yeah. My third, actually. My art doesn't stack up that well to that of other artists, but I get good reviews all the same. Maybe Uravity or one of your female friends will like it. It's even signed if you like that."

Izuku chuckled. "Thanks."

"Oh, and I'll send you the rest of the series too!" Yofuin shouted after him. "Signed, of course!"

"Thank you, Miss Yofuin. I hope your recovery proceeds smoothly."

"Thank you!"

As the door shut, Toru stretched herself out. "I heard she had a bit of a temper, but she was surprisingly earnest. If maybe a little too straightforward."

"I guess you need a bold personality to make something like this," Izuku said, holding up the manga. "Although with her quirk gone, it seemed like her bark had become about as small as her bite."

"For real. I don't know if I could handle a female Bakugo."

Izuku chuckled. "I was thinking she wasn't that different from Kacchan, in the end."

"Still, I'm surprised the number one hero has time for something like this," Toru said. "Not that I don't think you're concerned, but why come out here?"

Izuku looked up and down the hallway. There were a couple staff walking along, but he didn't want to risk the chance of anybody overhearing them. He led Toru down to the washrooms and, despite her small "Uhhhh," of confusion, he pulled her inside the men's washroom. Looking into each of the stalls, he confirmed nobody was there except them.

"What's with the yakuza-like check of the bathrooms? I feel like I'm part of a drug deal."

Izuku turned to Toru. "You're going to hear about it later anyway, but now that you're in front of me, I thought I'd let you in the know."

Proceeding to explain about the High End with All for One and the revised plan to hunt out the remaining ones, Izuku could sense Toru growing more and more rigid. Thankfully, nobody entered, allowing Izuku to explain the situation in full. When he was done, Toru was leaning against the counter sink, taking it all in.

"When is everybody else going to know?"

"Throughout the next few days. This is all top secret. Only the top 500 heroes are going to be in the know. Tsukauchi is in the process of putting it all together. Lots of meetings to attend in the next few weeks."

Rubbing her invisible chin, Toru began hyperventilating. "Okay. Well, at least it feels like we're a little more prepared this time. Hahaha..." Her breathing continued to be labored. Izuku saw her gloves tremble, and he placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

"I know how I'm acting is stupid, being a hero, I know it is... I just don't want him back. Or hatching some plan with those things from the shadows. I hate feeling helpless even when he's locked away!"

"And we're going to make sure he doesn't get the chance to put that plan into action," Izuku said. "You have my word."

"Thanks, Midoriya," Toru sniffled. Regaining her composure, she took a deep breath. "Oh, jeez. I feel like between the gala and this, you've seen me embarrass myself a little too often lately."

"It's okay, Hagakure," Izuku said. "We'll be sure to take care of this and pull through. I believe in you all."

"Right!" They then made their way out, albeit with Toru becoming noticeably wearier than when she had entered. At least, to Izuku. He had managed to more easily pick up on her emotional state these past few years even without much body language to work off of. He was actually a little impressed with himself for that, though he kept the detail to himself.

"But still... you think you'll have to visit him again?" Toru asked.

"Soon," Izuku said. "He's gonna wish he stayed a good little boy in his cell when I'm done with him."

Flying back to his agency, Izuku went up to his and Ochaco's office and was surprised to see the nervous pink face waiting for him.

"Mina?"

"Oh, hey Midori," she chuckled, giving him a small wave which she quickly stopped. She was in her civilian clothes. Playing with her hair, she looked toward Ochaco who was sitting by her desk, also dressed casually.

"What?"

"Don't 'what' me, you forced me into this!"

"... Into what?" Izuku asked.

Snapping back to Izuku, Mina began stammering. "I-I-I-IIIIIII, um. Y'know... uh, how is... lunch and stuff?"

Izuku blinked as Mina's face grew a deep shade of red. He realized then that he'd never seen her grow embarrassed. He'd always assumed her skin would turn a darker shade of pink when she began blushing if anything.

Ochaco observed this from the side, amused. "Stop teasing me like that!" Mina shouted, clenching her fist.

"I'm not doing anything," Ochaco giggled.

"You're looking at me! Judging me! You're thinking that after I've been teasing you all these years, you're finally getting some payback! Well, I hope you're happy!"

Ochaco clamped a hand shut over her mouth as she was racked with laughter, trying to stay quiet. This only served to make Mina more frustrated, tearing at her hair and stomping her foot.

"Ashido, what's the matter?" Izuku said. "I mean, if you've got a problem you need help with, I'm more than happy with listening."

"AHHHHHH!" Mina yelled, making Izuku jump. She gave him an angry, embarrassed stare. "You! Me! Amusement park this Friday! I'll buy us some tickets and tell you the time! Don't be late!"

"HUH!?" Izuku said, taken aback. Before he could ask, Mina sped past him in a pink blur, shouting "You'll regret this, Ochaco!" as she went. Before he knew it, she had opened the elevator doors and stepped inside, eyes aimed at the floor even as the door closed.

Stunned at what had happened over the past couple minutes, Izuku rounded on Ochaco for an explanation. "W-what just happened...?"

Ochaco finally got a hold of herself, brushing a tear out of her eye. "Izuku. She likes you. So, I convinced her to go on a date with you."

"She... what?" Izuku stared at Ochaco, eyes wide open. Ochaco sighed.

"I feel like I was watching myself for a minute there," Ochaco said. "Embarrassed as all hell and dealing with a guy too dense to understand. In the end, her teasing bark was way more than her bite. And I let her bully me about us dating for years too when she's a total love noob..."

"Time-out," Izuku said. "Start from the beginning."

As Ochaco briefly explained their earlier date in the park, Izuku ran a hand through his hair. "I wasn't aware she felt like that. I mean, I could never have guessed."

"I didn't either, although I guess I always had a feeling." She looked at the hallway Mina had stormed down. "She's always so obsessed with romance that I kinda assumed her interest in you and me getting together was all there is to it. But in the back of my head, I think I always knew she was paying attention to us a little too much. Like she was guilty half the time."

"I... never realized," Izuku said, scratching his cheek.

"Eh, most boys are like that," Ochaco smiled, stretching out in her seat. "But now that we've got this whole harem thing going, I was able to goad her into it! And I won't lie, it was pretty satisfying seeing her squirm like that." Ochaco giggled again. Her cheery expression reminded Izuku of the terrible news that would make it fall.

"That aside for the moment; I ended up finding something out this morning about the High End from yesterday. You're going to want to stay sitting for this one. Optics are... bad."

"So Shigaraki somehow managed to engineer a Nomu with a copy of All for One," Ochaco said. "Hm. Now pound me."

Gasping as Izuku entered her from behind, Ochaco gripped the sheets as the familiar sensation of his dick taking its rightful place inside her warmth. After he had explained things to her at the office, the two had set about wrapping up their afternoon duties and decided to go home early to discuss the implications. They had a short amount of time before needing to pick Eri up from school, so they went right to their favorite way of passing the time: sex.

"We don't know for sure, but it's likely there are more," Izuku grunted, his moans overlapping with Ochaco's. "This train derailment happening all of a sudden? And us finding the Nomu after all this time? It doesn't add up. Ugh!"

He grunted as he kept thrusting, holding Ochaco's arms behind her back for more power. "I know," Ochaco said between her panting. "You phone Bakugo about it yet?"

"Right after I found out," Izuku replied. "He wants to help coordinate, so he and I are gonna be switching heading the operation. I'm not sure if Todoroki can come back any time soon, but we could really use him."

"Yeah... I'd say we need all hands on deck for this one... It's feeling like... like we need..." Ochaco couldn't even finish the sentence as her mind was overtaken by pleasure. Arching her back, she rutted herself as hard back into Izuku as she could as she felt him twitch inside her. Throwing her head back, she let out a long scream of ecstasy as his cum exploded inside her. Collapsing face first, Ochaco openly drooled onto the blanket as Izuku pulled out of her. He eagerly deposited her onto his lap as he waited for her to regain her senses, giving small pecks over her face.

Shaking her head back into full consciousness, Ochaco wrapped herself around Izuku and brought her head in close. "It's all hands on deck for this one. If there's even a chance he's come up with another plan..."

"Then we make sure there is no chance, one way or another," Izuku breathed, giving Ochaco a small guess. "Together."

Ochaco pressed her forehead against his. "Together," she repeated. "But enough about that... I think maybe we should talk about your new date..."

Ochaco inserted herself onto Izuku's dick as she changed topics, rolling her hips against his.

"Well, amusement park means disguises," Izuku panted, matching Ochaco's rhythm. "Between you and me, I've never been great at that."

"You're awful at it," Ochaco chuckled. "But I'll help you there. I owe it to Mina..."

"You think she's really into this whole thing?" Izuku asked, picking up the pace. "Didn't think she'd go for something like this. Or even be into me."

"At this point, maybe we should ask who isn't into you," Ochaco replied breathily. Her moaning had kicked in again between her sentences. "It feels like all our old friends are in on this... ah! After these past couple months, it's like... hah... it's like... ahhhh... I mean, if this harem thing didn't exist, I'd be worried somebody was going to steal you away from me... ahhhhh!"

As she began mewling out her pleasure, Izuku hugged her close. "Never," he reassured her, thrusting inside her fast as he could. "I never want to leave you, Ochaco. No matter what."

Ochaco hugged him tightly back. "You know just what to say... Ah!"

Their intimate embrace continued on for several more minutes, the two expertly stretching out their pleasure as long as possible, having grown so accustomed to one another's bodies. Izuku's searing flesh hammering inside Ochaco's core was a mutual addiction for the two, and it was with enamored yells of ecstasy that the two came for a second time that day. Izuku's cum shot inside Ochaco again, and with a few more pants the two came down from their high, still hugging each other for support.

Tracing a finger down Izuku's back, Ochaco began speaking. "Things are going to be stressful, Deku. Not that they haven't been, but after this... I guess what I'm trying to say is we need to hold on to any bit of happiness we can. So make sure you show Mina a good time, alright?"

"Yeah," Izuku breathed. "I'll give her a date to remember."

Ochaco smirked against Izuku's shoulder. "And after...?"

Izuku chuckled. "We'll see." He eyed the bedside clock. "Another hour until school's over. Round 3?"

"Absolutely," Ochaco answered, pushing Izuku down and making out with him. They had quite a time after that, ending up running a little late to pick Eri up which they profusely apologized for.

Izuku waited outside the amusement park on Friday. It was the afternoon, and the attraction was bustling with throngs of people. He'd ended up adopting a spiky blonde wig Momo created that made him look like Katsuki's long lost cousin, along with fake eyebrows which had eventually stopped itching. He had taken to wearing sunglasses and a sport jacket, even having some makeup applied to hide his freckles.

"Oh, damn," came a bubbly voice from behind him. Turning around, he saw Mina dressed in a long, purple top that went down to her jean-covered thighs, her curves straining against the fabric. If her pink skin and hair weren't going to get her recognized, then her incredible ass probably would. A matching purse slung over her shoulder.

She was eying him up and down, pushing up the faux glasses she was wearing. "You clean up a little better than I thought, Midori. Even if you do have to look a little different."

"Ashido," Izuku replied. "I thought the disguise was pretty good. How could you tell it was me?"

"Well, you have a certain air about you," Mina said. "Although can I assume the outfit you chose was up to Ochaco?"

"Her and Momo, actually," Izuku said. He offered her his arm. "Shall we?"

"We shall," she replied cheerily, looping her arm through his.

"You seem a little bit more composed today," Izuku commented as they handed over their tickets and passed through the turnstile. Mina began blushing again, avoiding his gaze."

"I'm uh, sorry for freaking out on you the other day. I was so embarrassed because Ochaco found out, and then you entered having to look all brave in your hero outfit... I messed up."

"I was a little taken aback," Izuku admitted. "If I may though, I didn't think you'd be that embarrassed."

"W-Why wouldn't I be?" Mina said indignantly. "I never thought..." She mumbled the last part of her sentence.

"I can't hear you, Ashido."

Taking a deep breath, Mina said, "I never thought I'd get to go on a date with you!"

Izuku blinked. "Oh. That's... kind of flattering, actually."

"Hey, isn't that...?" Said a man to the side. Izuku hurriedly pulled Mina along to avoid her being recognized. While he was wearing a disguise, Mina had not. It was pointless, considering how distinctive she was with her pink skin.

"We might have to rush through today," Izuku warned her. Mina nodded.

"I understand. Just being able to do this at all is crazy. Never thought I'd get the chance." She held his arm closer. "So don't mess it up, Midori. I need you to be a gentleman for today."

"Glad to see you've got your confidence back," Izuku said. "That's the Ashido I know."

Their date went by relatively painlessly. Of course, they only ended up going on the merry-go-round before being recognized in the line-up for the rollercoaster. Thankfully, Mina only had to sign a few autographs before people backed off and allowed her to enjoy the rest of her date. Izuku waved off people asking his name, saying he'd like to keep it a secret.

"There's probably some perv taking a camera of us, wondering who my mystery beau is," Mina mused.

"Beau? That taken with me already?"

"Stop trying to be slick," Mina snickered, although the happy light in her eyes shone brighter than ever.

They went on every ride imaginable, even stopping in the arcade. They went through every possible activity there was, from the spinning tops ride to the tower drop, sharing some cotton candy and even donning a pair of animal ears. Mina went with cat ears poking up beside her horns, while Izuku wore a bunny headband. They shared a good laugh when they saw one another, deciding to wear them for the rest of the date.

After a chat over a dinner of fast food and then it was off to the Ferris Wheel.

"We're so high up," Mina said as they began cresting toward the top of the massive wheel. "So this is the view you see when you're flying."

"More or less," Izuku said. "Normally I only get to enjoy it with Ocha, but—"

Izuku caught himself. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be mentioning somebody else right now."

"No, no, it's fine," Mina said. "I mean, it's not like you're seeing me without her knowing."

"Something I'm painfully aware of," Izuku said wryly. "Sun's coming down."

"Yeah," Mina said. "Today was fun. I was worried it'd be kinda awkward, you being you. But it ended up a lot of fun because you were just you. And I was allowed to be just me."

"Maybe I wasn't just me," Izuku said, nudging at his wig. Mina giggled.

"True." She took to looking out the window for a few more minutes, silence falling. Izuku began working up the courage to ask what had been on his mind the past couple days.

"Ashido?"

"... You know what, call me Mina."

"Huh?"

"You heard me, Izuku!"

"Oh, right, right," Izuku said, taken aback by her calling him by his given name. "Maybe this is rude of me, but I was wondering: how long have you uh... had a crush on me?"

Mina continued looking out the window, lips pulled upward just barely. "I thought you'd ask that."

She laced her fingers together in her lap, looking at her feet. "I guess, the first time I ever really noticed, was back during one of our old firefights."

"Huh?"

"I mean, it was chaos all around. We didn't know if we were going to survive or even how. The only things we had after All Might and the rest were gone was each other. Honestly, I don't even know which particular fight it was. But I remember one day, you came out of this plume of smoke and dust in this big green blur. Whoosh!" She threw up her arms for emphasis.

"Actually, I think I was pretty close to dying. Or maybe Ochaco was, or somebody else. All I can remember is the gratitude I was feeling attached to that image of you. Coming in to save the day, always there for us even when things were worse than we could have ever imagined. It was like... it all came together for me." Mina sighed. "And now with these All for One Nomus, I'm scared that we're going to be in a situation like that again. I know you'll be able to protect us, but the terror of that is just..."

"I know," Izuku said. "But we can worry about that later. This date is time off. Don't worry, me, Tsukauchi and Bakugo are making sure this operation will go as smoothly as possible."

Mina took a deep breath. "Yeah. Thanks, Izuku. I'm sorry."

"Hey, don't be. Anybody who isn't scared of this is crazy."

Mina chuckled. "I guess. Anyhow, where was I? Oh, right." She continued on with her explanation.

"That fight, or however many there were, was the first time I noticed. When I had a crush on you proper? That one I still don't know. There was the time I taught you to dance, and no offense Izuku, but you were so bad at the start I had tears in my eyes."

"I remember," Izuku chuckled before letting her continue.

"And then there was the camp... God, you were busted up. I almost puked when I caught a look at your arms. But, well, I've always been wondering if the very first time I started having feelings was even earlier than that."

Smiling as Izuku's face grew puzzled, Mina spelled it out for him. "The Battle Trial! That was another great moment from you. You were always so cool! Bakugo was like a maniac, and it was like, KABOOM and he just kept chasing you! But then you ended up cornering him after he thought he cornered you and you blew the building apart." Mina was practically bouncing up and down. "I didn't care what Momo said, it was still so cool how far you were willing to go! So, if I had to answer..."

Mina chuckled nervously. "I guess I've loved you from the moment I lay eyes on you now that I really think about it! Too bad for me Ochaco was there even sooner than I was. And so here we are."

Izuku listened to the whole thing with rapt attention. He didn't even notice that they were almost near the ground again when she had finished. He shook his head once he took this in, gauging they had a couple minutes before having to get off.

"I... wow," was all he could muster in response.

"Yeah, it's a lot," Mina said. "You know, I'd read stuff like romance manga and watch stupid TV dramas in the hopes of having that one epic love adventure. The irony was that the one I wanted was kind of out of my reach since my bestie had all but called dibs first. So now I guess I'm just, uhhhh... What number am I? The sixth wheel."

"Hey, you're not some number to me," Izuku protested. "I mean, this whole first date thing is always just to test the waters. You can take your time."

Mina nodded. Izuku perked up, something she had mentioned reminding him of something.

"Oh yeah, I was waiting for a good moment like this. Here you go." He pulled out a small, rectangular object wrapped in bubble gum pink wrapping paper. Mina, puzzled, accepted it after he insisted she take it. She opened it up right then and there and blinked at what was inside.

"The Tide Past Jupiter?"

"It was this woman's manga that she gave me," Izuku explained. "One of the people who had their quirk stolen. Said she's sending me the rest, too. And well, I thought it was right up your alley."

"This art style is kinda throwing me off," Mina said.

Izuku chuckled. "Yeah, I have to admit, it's rough. But I saw the girl on the front and thought that... well, she kinda looked like you."

"What? Exotic skin and dark sclera?"

"Well, obviously that, but it was more how... regal, she seemed. I flipped through it and she's confident, tough, and charismatic. That's you to a tee."

Mina once again couldn't let a blush form on her cheeks. Dang it, Ochaco was right! Accidental Flirt, indeed.

"W-Well, this is a very thoughtful gift Izuku. Well done."

Thrown off by her now overly formal speech, Izuku could only say, "Uh, glad you liked it?"

"But you know," Mina said as they exited the carriage. "The main hero also kinda reminds me of you." She jabbed a finger at him.

"I dunno if I see a resemblance."

"Weird hair, big muscles... I guess he is more handsome than you, though."

"Uh, thanks?"

"But he has none of your charm. For all his looks, I can already tell he's no better than some gormless oaf."

"Do you like the gift or not? You don't need to lie. You clearly don't feel the need to be nice."

Their laughter rang out as they made their way out of the park, their date a success.

Standing outside Mina's apartment building, Izuku walked toward his date after paying off the taxi driver.

"That was great," Izuku said.

"Yeah," Mina said. "Really Plus Ultra!"

"Oh, for sure," Izuku said. "Although next time I'd rather not wear the eyebrows. Or the wig, for that matter."

Mina giggled. "Well, we're not exactly anonymous. You least of all."

"A fact I'm reminded of every day," Izuku said. "Still, it's great to have moments like this all the same. I admit, I've been missing regular dates. Just wish I had to take less pains just to go on them."

"Well, what can you do?" Mina said, pulling off her glasses and stowing them inside her purse. "I really appreciate it, Izuku."

"Likewise. It was fun."

"Right." Silence fell, neither knowing what to do.

"What's Ochaco doing?" Mina asked.

"Her own thing," Izuku said. "I think she mentioned something about helping Kyoka."

"Right, she even texted me about it." A smirk played at her lips. "And helping, huh?"

Izuku flushed. "Yeah. Helping. Whatever that entails these days... I guess I'll find out where she is when I make it back tonight."

"But if she's not back... then are you alone?"

"Well, the others might be busy, so maybe," Izuku said. "Eri's staying at one of her friend's houses tonight, so there's that."

"Ah," Mina said. The lingering possibility of an invitation inside danced on the tip of her tongue, but she was too afraid to utter it aloud. Still, the possibility hung in the air between them, a key to unlocking an unforgettable night for the both of them, she was sure. The question was if she was ready or not. Now that she thought about it, she wondered if Ochaco agreeing to help Kyoka tonight of all nights was her means of encouraging her to have this night with Izuku to herself.

Am I really ready for that? Mina wondered. She realized she had gotten awfully close to Izuku without meaning to, head instinctively leaning up toward him. Blinking, he ended up leaning down toward her, cautious but hopeful. Just before he could make a full lean in, she turned away, clearing her throat and stepping back.

"It is what it is," Izuku finally said after the awkward moment subsided. "Still, today being so good is enough for me. I can have the memories keep me company."

Mina groaned. "Okay, now that is a lame line."

"Probably," Izuku admitted. "But it's the truth. See you later, Mina."

"Yeah, later," Mina said, waving him off. She began walking up the steps to the door as he walked away to a location where he could fly away unseen, prepared to input her PIN. Her finger hovered over the keypad.

Why aren't you satisfied, she chided to herself. You had a great time today and even got a gift! A hopeless sap like you couldn't ask for better.

Taking out the manga volume, Mina held it up in front of her eyes, scrutinizing it. She said the man reminded her of Izuku, but honestly he looked no different than any other bland, male shoujo lead designed to cater to hopeless romantics like her. Hoping for that one bit of adventure to cross their path, no matter who it came from.

Taking a deep breath, she found her eyes going back to Izuku as he walked away, having found a nearby park to change and take off from. She placed the manga back in her purse and jumped down the steps, boots thudding against the ground as she tore her way toward Izuku. Hearing her, he barely had time to turn around and look surprised as she threw herself at him, nearly bowling him over as she captured his lips in the hungriest, most desperate, and passionate kiss she could muster.

They stayed like that for a solid thirty seconds, Izuku holding Mina up by her thick thighs as they made out. In all honesty, it was difficult not to grope her voluminous ass, since it was so big. Their tongues wrestled and pushed against one another, and when they pulled back a trail of saliva connected the two before it broke.

"Memories, huh?" Mina cocked her head to the side, squeezing Izuku's torso between her thighs. "How about we make a few we'll never forget?"

Hey everybody! Another chapter coming in at you hot. Kinda exhausted after this one so I'll keep it brief: more plot development, a little bit of sexy time, a little bit of set up for Toru and everything is now in place for the long awaited Mina smut. I know many of you have waited a long time for this so don't worry, it's just a week away. She's also got some extra curves to her now that she's an adult. Think a less exaggerated version of CuteSexyRobutts's art, so you can look forward to that next chapter.

Harem order: Ochaco, Momo, Itsuka, Kyoka, Rumi (Mirko), Mina, Toru, Mei, Tomoko (Ragdoll), Tsuyu, Nejire, Nemuri (Midnight), Ibara, Ryuko (Pixie-bob), Kaoruko (Bubble Girl), Melissa, Yui, Camie, Shino (Mandalay), Setsuna, Moe (Burnin'), Ryuko (Ryukyuu), Pony, Yuyu, Reiko, Kinoko, Himiko.
