Annoyance was what Earphone Jack was feeling as she stared up at the hotel before her with a glare.
"Um, Earphone Jack? Ma'am? Aren't you going to go in there now?"
The Hearing Hero gave the nervous policeman a side-glance before looking back at the building that was currently surrounded, her annoyance coming back. It wasn't the police she was annoyed with, nor was it why she was called there in the first place (although the reason she was there made her scowl in disgust when she was first told). No, she was annoyed because of WHO she would be dealing with; a hero, now former hero, had blatantly broke the law and needed to be taken into custody. Because of whom she would be dealing with, she was not going in there alone.
"I'm just waiting for my back-up," replied the purplette.
The policeman raised an eyebrow. "B-Back-up? Is the perp really that dangerous?"
A scoff escaped from Earphone Jack's mouth, her annoyance turning into amusement. "Hell no, but considering who we're dealing with, I called someone who will be able to put the fear into the perp's head."
"…If you say so, ma'am."
Earphone Jack just rolled her eyes as she waited. She didn't have to wait long as her enhanced hearing pick up the telltale sign of crackling energy. Her smirk widened as she felt someone touching down next to her. Glancing over at the new arrival, she saw the green-haired, freckle-faced Symbol of Peace looking at the hotel with a frown.
"You know, I've always felt that there was good in everyone, with a few exceptions, and yet I am not surprised that it's come down to this," spoke the man with a sigh.
She reached over and patted his arm in comfort. "I know, Deku. I don't think anyone from the old class will be surprised by this situation. Right now though we need to go in there and put an end to this."
Giving her a nod, Deku made his way towards the building with Earphone Jack right behind him, passing by wide-eyed policemen. When they reached the door, Deku grabbed the doorknob and tried to open it, only for it to be stuck.
"Little bastard must have barricaded the door," said Earphone Jack with a growl as Deku looked at the door with a furrowed brow.
Activating One For All, Deku grabbed the door and then ripped it clear off the hinges, revealing multiple sticky balls that were originally keeping it in place. Scowling, Earphone Jack followed Deku inside where they found sticky balls EVERYWHERE to deter people from going further.
"We're in luck," stated Deku.
"How the hell are we lucky here?" questioned Earphone Jack, giving the man a deadpan look.
He just glanced at her with a smirk. "In his desperation, he wasn't thinking clearly when he was placing these traps. Look closely and you can see that the traps actually make a trail that will most likely lead us to him."
Looking back, the purplette found that the greenie was right. To the untrained eye it may have seemed as if the sticky balls were everywhere, but there was clearly more of them going up the left staircase than the right one.
"…Seriously?"
"Like I said, he's desperate," said Deku. "He was surprisingly one of the smarter students in our class, but his lack of common sense always held him back."
Earphone Jack gave off a shudder. "I don't even want to imagine what he would have been like if he actually had common sense. No woman would have been safe."
"All the more reason we need to bring him in."
"…So how are we getting up there?" asked the heroic musician looked back at the staircase with a frown. Deku only smirked before he scooped up Earphone Jack and held her bridal style, earning a squeak of surprise. "D-Deku!"
"Hold on tight, Earphone Jack," replied Deku as he activated Float.
With another squeak, she did as she was told when Deku flew forward, following the trail of sticky balls all the way up to the top floor. Upon reaching the floor, they followed the trail to room 519. Earphone Jack was about to announce their presence, but Deku stopped her. When she glared at him, demanding answers, he just smirked and activated Blackwhip.
The dark tendrils pierced through the door, bypassing the sticky balls and causing the inhabitants of the room to scream in fear. Once Deku felt that the target was captured, he created more tendrils to shatter the door, allowing him and Earphone Jack access.
Walking into the room, the two Pros glared at their captive, a diminutive man that was bleeding profusely from his scalp, a sign that he plucked more than he should have. Off to the side was a small group of four foreign women, cowering in fear, wondering what these people were about to do to them.
Earphone Jack glared at the midget as she crossed her arms over her chest. "You were really that desperate, weren't you, you grapist?"
Said grapist let out a growl as he glared back. "Hey! My name is Grape Juice! And I never hid what I wanted as a hero!"
Deku narrowed his eyes and tightened Blackwhip's hold on its captive, causing a grunt of pain to escape from the midget.
"You have no right to be angry, Mineta," stated Deku, emphasizing the man's name. "You bought these women and married them, breaking the law in the process."
"How the hell did I break the law?!" demanded Mineta, once again glaring at his former classmates.
"Aside from the fact that you bought these women? Polygamy is illegal in Japan, dumbass!" yelled the ticked off Earphone Jack, wanting to jab her jacks into his eyes. "We know that you're not stupid enough to not know that, especially since you trained to be a hero, which by the way you will be losing your hero license after this."
"Y-you can't do that!" shouted Mineta as he started to struggle in his bindings.
"Considering you clearly broke the law, yes we can," replied Deku as he and Earphone Jack herded the women out of the room.
Using Mineta himself to scrape his sticky balls out of the way to make a path, they headed back down to the ground floor to hand over the former hero Grape Juice to authorities.

With the day winding to a close Izuku let out a sigh of relief as he entered his apartment.
"What a day," he mumbled out. He then felt arms wrap around his torso and held him close.
"You're telling me," replied the voice of one Jirou Kyouka, muffled as her she snuggled into his back.
Izuku let out a chuckle as he turned around in her arms so he could hug her back. "You know, I don't know why you called me for back-up today. I know for a fact that you could have handled Mineta on your own."
She smiled slightly as she snuggled into his chest now. "True, but I figured he would have been more afraid and saw how serious the situation was if the Number One Hero came after him."
Another chuckle came from the greenie. "Fair enough."
A frown then appeared on Kyouka's face. "Izu-kun?"
"What is it, Kyouka?" he asked, hearing the worry in his voice.
"I know this will be a stupid question, but h-have you ever b-been t-tempted by other w-women? I mean, y-you are the Number One Hero and y-you have all th-those f-fangirls trying to th-throw themselves at y-you."
Izuku could just hear the insecurities of the petite rocker in his arms and it broke his heart that she still had them after all these years. Holding her close, he nuzzled his face in her hair.
"Kyouka, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on. I can't even imagine ever looking at another woman. You are the only woman I could want and would want in my life and that will NEVER change."
Tears of happiness came to her eyes, to which he used his thumbs to wipe away. "I-Izu-kun~"
Standing on her tiptoes, she placed her lips onto his, where he gladly returned the kiss. It was through this kiss, much like with ones that came before and the many they will share in the future, that they showed how much they loved and cherished one another.
And that will never change.

Yup, polygamy (having multiple wives at the same time) is illegal in Japan, which means every harem fic in the MHA fandom pretty much makes Izuku a criminal. Of course the harem writers don't actually care, using "it's fanfiction" as their excuse to live out their sad little fantasies. They are pretty much real life Minetas, desperate for attention.
At least there are some people in this fandom who actually give a shit about Izuku to not treat him like an uninteresting harem protagonist. He's not Jaune from the RWBY series, people.
