Hey guys, so I just saw the new movie and I loved it so, so much that I couldn't wait and I just had to do this. I. Could. Not. Wait.
In case you're wondering, this fic won't be very long at all and it will be the only thing that gets updated until the fic is done.
So here are some things YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND before the story begins.
First off, THIS FIC CONTAINS SPOILERS TO THE STORY. AS IN THINGS THAT HAVE NOT HAPPENED IN THE STORY YET. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED FOR FUTURE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THE STORY, THEN DON'T READ THIS AND WAIT UNTIL IT BECOMES PART OF THE MAIN STORY. That will take a long time though. THIS ALSO CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE NEW FILM.
Second off, this takes place years after where the story is now. It's not a time skip, it's just where the story is going to be eventually. HOWEVER. SOME OF THE THINGS IN THIS STORY ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE, AND OTHER THINGS MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. I'm not going to tell you what though.
Third, just to make sure no one gets confused, this is not going to take the place of the main fic. This takes place in a possible future of The, The Hero We Need, fic. The main fic will eventually get this as an arc, but it might be slightly different.
Fourth, Obviously, the ages of the character don't match up with how old other characters should be. I have said that I would change the ages of certain characters, and it will be obvious when I do.
Fifth, some Characters will act differently from how they are acting currently in the story, as this takes place sometime after.
That's for all, Let's get to the story.
Momo took a deep breath as she walked through the Hall of Justice meeting room. She wasn't confident in what she was about to do, but she wanted to do it. She deserved it.
Or so she had been told.
The doors to the meeting room slid open and inside, everyone was waiting for her.
"About damn time you showed up!" Bakugo sat slouched in his chair at the meat table, his eyes showing how irritated he was. "Never thought I would have to be waiting for you of all people!"
"It's not like you to be late." Hawkgirl sat upright, giving her a curious look under her mask.
"Were you on a date? With who!?" Nejire asked her, leaning up in her seat.
"I was...thinking about things," Momo answered.
"Well, you can think about what we're gonna do for the fucking parade." Bakugo crossed his arms.
"Honestly I'm still surprised you're showing up Zero." Tensei laughed.
"Like I have a fucking choice!" Bakugo shouted.
"It's the Heroes Day parade. Even Bakugo wouldn't skip out on it." Mirio pointed out.
"It is the anniversary of Izuku's and All Might's deaths after all," Tamaki spoke up.
Heroes Day. A new holiday to commemorate the deaths of fallen heroes. Heald on the date of Batman's and All Might's deaths. Two deaths of two great heroes that happened on the same date.
This would be the first Heroes Day, and while every hero was supposed to have a day off on this day, the Justice League decided that they would have a parade, in honor of All Might and their fallen member Batman.
Momo looked down slightly, a slightly guilty expression showing from under her mask.
It was at that point everyone figured out what Momo was here for.
"There is no fucking way you want to skip out on the fucking parade!" Bakugo glared at her intensely.
"Yeah, you can't not show!" Nejire said.
"It would be pretty weird for you not to show up to honor your predecessor," Hawkgirl said.
"It would probably also hurt your public image," Tamaki said quietly. "Then again the public does see you as kinda cold so maybe it won't?"
"Guys, guys calm down," Tensei said, making rapid motions with his arms. "I'm sure she has a good reason for not wanting to come."
"Well, I'm not sure if it's a particularly good reason," Momo said. "I'd like to request some time off. About two weeks. My old class is all getting together for a vacation at Nabu. We'll still technically be doing hero work, but it's very peaceful there and there are never any villain attacks, so it'll mostly be a bunch of minor tasks, so it's basically a vacation."
"So you won't show up to a parade honoring Izuku's death, because you want to take a vacation," Bakugo said, his eye twitching in irritation.
Before Bakugo could start shouting, Hawkgirl spoke up.
"Couldn't you just go to the parade and then go on the vacation after?" Tensei asked. "I mean if they're going for two weeks then you should still have some time to get there."
"They're also having their own celebration for Heroes Day," Momo explained. "And as much as I would like to go to the parade…"
"You'd rather be with your friends." Mirio finished, giving her a soft smile.
Momo looked away in embarrassment, not wanting to admit what he's saying is true, but not wanting to deny it.
"Well, then I see nothing wrong with this," Tensei said.
"Neither do I." Tensei gave her the same warm smile.
"Wait you're just gonna fucking let her go!" Bakugo objected.
"Parade aside, Momo is one of our two brains. Is it wise to let her go right now?" Hawkgirl asked. "The League is still on the run, we still have to capture the fake Batman, as well as the Arkham Knight, Toga Himiko still hasn't been captured and hasn't been spotted since Izuku's death. And Izuku's body is still missing."
"Excellent points, but it's not like we're going to fix any of those problems in two weeks." Melissa's voice suddenly came out of the T.V. screen above the meeting table.
"How long have you been here!?" Bakugo shouted.
"About the same time as Momo," Melissa said. "Now as for Momo's request, I think we should put it to a vote. All in favor of her taking a vacation please raise your hand."
Mirio, Tensei, Nejire, and Tamaki raised their hands.
"So that's five votes including myself," Melissa said. "All opposed."
Bakugo raised his hand.
"Why the fuck aren't you raising your hand!" Bakugo glared at Hawkgirl.
"Because there's no point," Hawkgirl said. "It's clear we're outnumbered. I don't know why you're even bothering."
"Because there is no fucking way I'm going down without a fight!" Bakugo shouted.
"What does that even mean in this context?" Hawkgirl asked.
"So it looks like the decision has been made," Melissa said. "Momo you're free to take your vacation."
"Thank you," Momo said politely.
"No problem. As far as I'm concerned this is a huge improvement for you!" Mirio gave her a thumbs up.
"Yeah, I remembered when you came back and were all brooding and miserable and serious. Now you're all shy and cute and serious!" Nejire said.
"I owe that to my friends," Momo said. "That's why I want to be with them when they're on a group vacation."
"Tch," Bakugo grunted. "Just get outta here already."
A few days later, on Nabu Island
"Hello, this is the Plus Ultra hero agency!" Mina cheerily answered the phone.
It was a busy day at the newly established, temporary hero agency, set up by the former U.A. students.
Not to say that there was any actual trouble of course.
"Denki, you know who's tractor broke down again!" Mina said.
"Again! Man, he really needs to get a new one!" Kaminari said, not really a hint of annoyance despite his words.
"Man this is great!" Mina sighed as she leaned back in her seat. "No villain attacks, no sudden disasters."
"The people here are really nice here too," Ochaco said. "Right Yamomo!"
"Yeah." She said a conflicted expression on her face.
She still wasn't used to this. Leaning back and waiting for something to do. She was used to being active. Always moving, always researching, always fighting.
She knew it would be like this but...she still was unused to relaxing.
"Hello?" Toru picked up the phone. "Huh? Your brother's missing? Don't worry, we'll send someone right away!"
Toru hung up the phone. "We got a missing kid!"
"That's where I come in," Jiro said, raising her earphone jacks. "Momo you wanna come too?"
"Sure," Momo said.
Twenty minutes later.
"Any sign of him?" Momo asked Jiro while looking through a device. She had made herself a drone with a camera attached to it and was using it to search for the child.
"No...wait." Jiro had her earlobe inside the ground. "I hear something not too far away. North."
Momo moved her drone, around that area, and she found a small playground with a small child looking around for something.
"I think I found him," Momo said. "Follow me."
Momo sprinted through the forest, hopping from tree to tree, moving so swiftly she lost Jiro in an instant.
Jiro sighed. "Ninjas."
It took Momo a few minutes but she made it to the playground in record time.
She walked up to the seemingly lost boy, who noticed her and his eyes widened.
"Batwoman." He said,
"Are you ok?" Momo asked him in the kindest tone she could. "Did you get separated from her family?"
"You're late!"
Momo looked up at the slide and saw that a young girl, looking only slightly older than the boy.
"It took you a whole twenty minutes since I called! It took you that long to find a lost child!" She scolded Momo.
Momo took one look at the girl and said. "You shouldn't call when you don't need help."
The girl's eyes widened briefly before her face shifted to a scowl. "What are you talking about? My brother was missing!"
"No, he wasn't," Momo said. "You called us to look for him, with the intention of making us look bad and scolding us, taking yourselves to a somewhat secluded location in hopes of us not being able to find you for a significant amount of time, if at all."
"H-how did you-" The girl appeared to have been stupefied.
"First of all, you timed it. If your brother was really missing you wouldn't have wasted time setting up a timer. Secondly, you are not sweating. If your brother really went missing, then you would run to go and look for him. And given the weather currently, if you run for any significant amount of time, you would be sweating. Thirdly, the place you took him was a playground, a place where you could entertain yourself if we took too long." Momo explained.
The girl pouted and glared at Momo angrily. "You still took too long!"
She then grabbed her brother's hand and walked away.
As they reached the exit of the park, Momo spoke.
"I apologize." Momo turned to them.
The two stopped, turning their head to give her a confused expression. "Huh?"
"Even if the call was a hoax, I did take too long to find you," Momo said. "I won't let it happen again."
The girl gave Momo a befuddled look for a second, before pouting and continuing along with her brother.
"I'm sorry." The boy apologized as he was dragged along by his sister.
Jiro caught up and the two kids walked past her, making her somewhat confused. She turned to Momo with an expression that told her to explain.
"It was a false call," Momo explained. "Don't worry. The scoldings have already been handed out."
Jiro sighed. "Darn kids...wait...scoldings?"
A few hours later
"Closing time!" Toru exclaimed.
"Ahh. This place is paradise." Mineta sighed.
"Is that because of the nice weather, lack of super stressful work, lack of paperwork, nice people, or hot chicks?" Kaminari asked.
"Yes," Mineta said with a smile.
"Hey, it looks like we have some visitors!" Kirishima said, pointing at the door.
Outside was a group of people carrying various types of food.
"Thank you for watching over the beach!" Said one of the people.
"And for carrying me to the hospital." Said an old lady.
"And for starting up my tractor." Said a farmer.
"Honestly working during Heroes Day. You guys are too much." Said, one woman
"It is no problem at all!" Iida said, doing his signature arm chopping motion.
"Thanks for the feast!" The heroes said.
After the food had been laid out, and Kaminari brought out the booze, the party had almost begun.
"Everyone!" Iida shouted. "Before we start, let us all have a drink to the heroes who have fallen, fighting bravely for our safety."
Everyone nodded, and took long sips of their respective drinks, in honor of the allies they had lost.
After they finished with that, Kirishima spoke up. "Let's have another drink to All Might! He fought till his last breath! One of the manliest people to have ever existed."
Another Long sip.
"And last but definitely not least! A drink to Batman! The man stopped Poison Ivy! Lead the Charge against Bane! Took down the Yakuza! And ended Doomsday!" Mina said.
One last, long sip and all their glasses were empty.
"Now let's start the party!" Mina shouted. "Denki get the rest of the drinks and Jiro start the music!"
Meanwhile, outside.
Outside the hero agency was a cloaked woman, standing with a drink in her hand.
She took a long sip of her glass. "To Batman."
Back with the Heroes.
Now the party had truly begun, with the former classmates taking the time to catch up with each other.
"So Mineta I'm surprised! I'd have expected you to have been arrested for sexual assault by now." Toru said.
"Hey! I told you back during our second year that I was turning a new leaf!" Mineta protested.
"Weren't you ogling the girls on the beach the entire day?" Kaminari asked.
"Hey listen, watching a girl go around in Bikinis isn't wrong! They dressed themselves that way so as long as I keep a distance I'm fine!" Mineta said.
"He's been telling the truth about the turning a new leaf thing," Momo confirmed. "Trust me I've made sure. We should really thank Starfire for that by the way."
"How is Starfire by the way?" Jiro said. "Does she still forget to wear clothes around the office sometimes."
"I...luckily managed to get her to stop doing that," Mineta said, using the word luckily very hesitantly. "And her Japanese has gotten a whole lot better! Still feels weird to have to teach your boss stuff though."
"Not bad Mineta! It seems like you're useful for something after all!" Mina said, before giving Tokoyami a devious look. "Putting that aside. Hey Yami. Have you plunged your dark blade into Raven's endless void yet."
Tokoyami promptly spits out his drink while a few of the others laughed. Momo, in particular, shaking her head in disapproval, while also not able to hide a fond smile.
"I knew that was coming. And yet it still surprised me. Damn you, Mina." Tokoyami cursed.
"Yeah yeah. Now did you sink into her dark abyss or not." Mina suggestively winked.
"The details of our relationship are not to be made public," Tokoyami said, blushing profusely.
"Aw come on. Momo do you know if the two of them have gone through the birds and the birds?" Toru asked.
"Why would I know that," Momo said, looking away from all of them.
"Because the Bat-Clan policy on privacy, is that it doesn't exist." Todoroki joined the conversation.
"I doubt that even they would go so far," Tokoyami said. "Right?"
Everyone looked at Momo, waiting for a response, but none came.
"You're all dead to me." Tokoyami glared.
"What about me?" Todoroki asked.
"Except maybe you," Tokoyami said. "Depending on my mood."
Todoroki shrugged.
"Shoto, I thought I saw you take four sips during the opening drinks. Who was the extra drink for?" Toru asked.
"Endeavor," Todoroki said.
Everyone's faces contorted into a kind of, oh yeah, expression.
"We probably should have had a drink for him huh?" Shinso said from his corner.
Endeavor was a touchy subject when it came to the class. And most people in general. After his child abuse, neglect, and all the stuff he did to Rei got revealed, most of the populace, the hero community included, despised him. However after his heroic death, sacrificing himself against Bane and his armies, saving countless lives in the process, it was hard for many people to continue hating the guy.
Of course, there were many stances on the subject. Those who had thought he had fully redeemed himself, those who forgave his crimes but never forgot them, those who were hesitant to say anything good about him but at the same time didn't want to say anything bad. And those who still hated him despite it all.
One thing Momo had noticed is that whenever Shoto said something positive about Endeavor, he would refer to him by his hero name, and when he spoke negatively about him he referred to him as father. As if trying to separate the two mentally.
"Well uh...guess the next drinks for them," Kaminari said. "But uh...hey how's your sister?"
"Which one?" Todoroki asked.
"Either," Kaminari said, glad to have changed the subject. "Last time we saw your big sister she was really torn up about Batman's death."
"Well, she's a lot better now," Shoto said. "Her mood worsens whenever he's mentioned and she visits his memorial often, but aside from that she's managed to move on."
"That's great! What about Nora!?" Toru asked.
"She's in good spirits. She spends a lot of time with Shield and her kids." Todoroki explained.
Kids. Momo thought. Eri. Kota.
"I...am going to the roof to get some air," Momo said.
Her friends nodded and she left for the rooftop
The roof.
Momo took in a deep breath of fresh air as she stood on the roof, overlooking the area. It wasn't a particularly large building but there weren't a lot of tall buildings on the island anyway.
"I would arrest you...but there aren't any villains around for you to kill right now, and honestly I'm not in the mood," Momo said to the person, she knew was behind her.
Behind her was the one member of the class that hadn't shown up, and hadn't been invited. Momo's sister, Helena Yaoyorozu.
"Good. I didn't feel like fighting you either." Helena said, giving her sister a sad smile. "So...what's up sis. You seem a bit down...more than usual that is."
"It's a holiday celebrating the day of two of my mentors' deaths. I have no reason to be anything but pleased." Momo said sarcastically.
"Understandable," Helena said. "Then why not go back downstairs and get wasted till the day is over?"
"Because I'm not you. Luckily." Momo said, not hiding any bit of spite.
The two stood in a sort of uncomfortable silence until suddenly Momo used her quirk to make something. What looked like a chunk of kryptonite.
"Do you know what this is? Momo asked her sister.
"Kryptonite?" Helena answered.
"Not just any kryptonite. This is the same type of kryptonite that killed Doomsday." Momo revealed. "Using this I could make a bomb, exactly like, or perhaps more powerful than the one that hit that monster. Except you wouldn't need to be close to it to activate it. So theoretically if I was there-"
"You could have prevented Batman's death." Helena finished, before closing her eyes and sighing "Honestly sis-"
"That's not all." Momo interrupted her, before creating something else, this time it was a vial of liquid. "This is something I call reverse Venom. My quirk allows me to make anything, so long as I know it's molecular structure, and as long as it's not alive. That means I can create things that can't even be made naturally. Like this. This would have not only nullified the Venom in Bane's blood but reverse its effect. If I had just been more creative and didn't squander my potential-"
"I get it I get it." Helena sighed. "Look, sis, you and Bats were more similar than you could imagine."
"Not enough," Momo said. "Izuku could do things I still can't. He was smarter than me, tougher than me. If he was the one to take care of the Killer Moth incident, then that could have been taken care of without a signal causality. If he had had this quirk instead of me…"
"Then he would be unstoppable." Helena nodded. "That's true enough if he suddenly woke up one day and had your quirk, then he would have been able to take on anything….but. I don't think that would be the case if he was born with it though."
"What?" Momo asked.
"Listen. When you worked under Batman you were too busy gasping at all the shady shit he did, and when you came back from your trip, you were too busy gasping at how efficient he was, so you probably didn't notice too much about who he was as a person." Helena explained. "Batman was born out of fear. The fear of being powerless to be specific. If Izuku had a quirk, or if his mother wasn't killed, then Batman wouldn't exist. Izuku probably would have been a great hero regardless, but not as good as he ended up being."
There was a short pause as Helena let her words sink in, and Momo processed them.
"Bat's was a good guy, but we were on bad terms for a reason you know," Helena said. "Well besides the obvious murder thing. But honestly, I couldn't take how overly paranoid he was! I didn't want to live my whole life knowing he was watching me." Helena said. "And let's not forget how manipulative he could be when he wanted. I don't think you of all people could forget that."
There was another pause before Momo sent her sister a cold look.
"It was necessary." She said,
"Using you was necessary?" Helena asked.
"It was the fastest way to stop our parents," Momo said. "And honestly, I don't think you should talk about using people after what you did."
Helena grit her teeth. Should have seen that one coming.
Helena was about to respond when she heard someone coming up the steps to the roof.
"Fuck," Helena swore, before turning to her sister. "We'll have to finish this later."
Helena then jumped off the rooftop to another one, as she jumped and flipped into the night.
"Don't count on it sister," Momo muttered as she watched her getaway.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, in an abandoned building.
A man in a blue suit with a device attached to his body laid down on a bed, blue vein-like things that were all over his body, started to subsided back into him.
"Nine." Said a red-haired woman who ran into the room. "We've located the child. He's on Nabu Island."
The man, Nine, opened his eyes and rose from the bed. "Good. Get everyone together, we're going as soon as possible."
The woman nodded and left to do as she said.
"Heh, heh, looks like the time of our fated battle inches closer." Said a very large man, slowly walking out of the shadows.
"Worry about that later." Nine said. "Now is the time to do your part...Bane."
