Chapter 8
The Thursday After the usj
The attack on the USJ was all over the news last night when Mei went to bed and it was still on when she woke up. Her parents had been so worried that the villains might have attacked UA as well but Mei told them everything was fine. Mei had to get ready for Izu to come over, they had a long weekend ahead of them. Powerloader had given the ok for them to work on the 'project' at home so she wasn't going to waste that time. They wouldn't be able to do much but event designing connectors and getting measurements down would still help. Then there was her idea she had shown Power Loader before they left and got approval. 'Izu doesn't need to fight alone I can help as well'
"Mei Breakfast is ready!" A few minutes later Mei was enjoying some eggs and rice while looking over some notes when her dad spoke up "Mei your mom and I are always here for you, you know that right?" Mei looked up from her notes with a quizzical look "I know dad." She had a feeling she wasn't going to like what he was about to say. "It's just we're worried dear. You know UA isn't the only school with a support program and if you wanted to go somewhere else we…" Mei was right. She didn't like it. "I'm staying at UA!" Her parents were in shock from that outburst. Their faces made Mei feel bad. She felt guilty that she had hurt them but she was angry. Why did they want her to leave her dream school?
An hour had passed and Izu would be there soon she had to do something he was too smart to not notice the tension. She found her parents out in the garage. "Mom, dad… I'm sorry for yelling but going to UA has been my dream since I was a kid. I won't lie I was scared that day but I had Izu with me. He was there for me, he got me to stop thinking about the bad things that could happen. So I want to stay at UA with him." Shu and Sara looked at each other before Sara spoke up. "We know dear it's just hard after what happened but if you want to keep going to UA with your crush it's fine." Mei felt her face heat up. 'Crap i forgot to tell them!' "Umm about that. I-I kinda maybe already possibly asked him out already and we um are kinda dating now." Sara's eyes lit up and she Rushed over hugging her daughter " I knew it! I'm so happy for you! You have to tell me everything later! SHU I WIN!"
The Sunday After the USJ
It had been a few days since the incident at the USJ and Inko was still so happy her boy wasn't in that class. She knew he still planned to be a hero and she supported him as best she could but still she wouldn't be able to live with herself if her baby was hurt so early in the school year. Ever since he met that Stan person his goal had changed. He wanted to be like that hero in the comics Iron Man and he was close to his dream. The time he spent away on I Island was tough but he had found more friends who didn't mock him, who believed in his dreams. Then there was that text from Sara on Thursday.
Sara: Hey Inko I have great news!
Imko: What are you and Shu having another baby?
Sara:Nope Mei is enough for us. And Speaking about Mei she just told us something great
Imko: Did the support course accept her new idea?
Sara: Well yes but not that. She said she finally confessed to Izuku.
Imko::MY BABY HAS A GIRLFRIEND?!
Izuku was getting ready to go over to Mei's again today. They almost have the wiring done and once they get back they can put it on the inner frame. His mother somehow found out he was dating Mei and wanted her over for dinner soon. "Mom I'm heading out to Mei's I'll be home later." Inko sat back in her chair and said "Hopefully you guys get done fast and you can bring Mei over for dinner dear." Izuku sighed for the past few days. She's said the same thing. "If we get done earlier I'll ask her and tell you."
The Garage was a lot busier than it had been so Izuku didn't have time to chat with Mr. Hatsumei so he just waved to him and fostered that he would be inside. Shu gave a quick nod and went back to work, 'Jeez every year when the UA sports festival comes around I get stuck fixing the cars of these tourists.' Sara greeted Izuku at the door. "Hi Izuku Mei is in her work shop. You know the rules." Izuku blushed and nodded "Door stays open and no explosions." The smile Mrs. Hatsumei had sent a chill down Izuku's spine. "correct . I don't want grandkids just yet." After that stressful encounter Izuku finally got to mei's workshop and knocked before opening the door and placing the door stop in front of it.
Mei quickly hid the guns she was working on. Izuku would try to stop her if she told him her plan. 'Just till the sports festival is over so i can show him I won't get hurt.' "Izu!" Mei ran over and hugged him chuckling at how hard he blushed "Are you ready to finish the wires?" Haro rolled over and jumped up and down. "Izuku. Izuku. Final set is on workbench." Izuk smiled at Haro and gave them a thumbs up. "Of course Mei. Let's finish these quickly. We need to start on the armor as soon as possible." "Of course now bring me the wire strippers. I'll prepare for connection nine-a-11."
It took fours hours the only break was when Mrs. Hatsumei came in with lunch but they were finally finished. "We did it Mei all we need to do is add the wires to the inner frame tomorrow then we can work on the armor and hopefully have time to test out some of its functions." Mei was tired; they had pushed themselves to get the wires done. Connection eleven-z-22 did not want to cooperate and had to be remade on a 3D printer Mei had 'Borrowed' from the classroom. She had planned to return it. "Yup soon you'll show the whole world what our baby is capable of!" That sparkle in her eyes was one of the things Izuku found attractive, that fire to create the impossible, to change history. "Of course it will be the start of my hero carrer and the beginning of… Huh we never decided on a name for our company. How about as a placeholder Hatumei and Midoriya Industries?" Mei placed her hand on her chin. "I was thinking just Midoriya Industries. It's a lot shorter and easier to say." Izuku began to panic 'was she? No way it's too soon. But maybe? "But if we go with that you won't get as much recognition."
"I don't care about that, I just want to make our babies 'and keep you safe'." Mei was stretching her arms. Working for so long was good exercise. Before Izuku could say anything he got a text from his mother. Mother: Are you bringing her over? Ironzuku: Let me ask her. "Hey Mei my mom wants you to come over for dinner. Do you want to come over today?" Mei plopped down on her chair and started spinning it around. "Let's see. Wire arrows complete, Auto blancers good, hydraulic braces check, and that… I'll have more than enough time to complete that. Sure! Just let me get cleaned up." Izuku nodded and proceeded to text his mom telling her they would be over soon.
The dinner was nice but what followed gave Mei enough fodder to tease Izuku for years. "And this is him playing All Might. He was so cute in that onesie." Inko liked Mei, from the day those two met she knew they were meant to be. "Awww if only we met sooner then I could have seen him in it." Izuku had his head in his hands. He knew this was a bad idea. If only this night would end. "I still have it! One second I'll be right back." This night was far from over.
AN: So next chapter will start off with a few of the tests they run with the suit. Kirishima will appear in the next chapter as well. Yes Mei will fight in this story. I don't want to put her on the sideline. If you have any suggestions on what she should use please leave them in the comments/reviews. Also I'm going to shorten the sports festival to maybe only 2-3 chapters tops. You'll see how the race and calvary battle change and then I plan to show just Mei, Izuku, and Kirishima's battles.
