A/N- Hey guys, it's been a while, sorry about that, college finals kicked my ass, but I passed! And now I get to do I all over again come January! SO WOO, also updates will continue to be slow since college is very unpredictable, and becoming a mechanical engineer with a minor in explosives engineering isn't something you can do in 4 years unless you're diligent. Which I am not, don't do what I did people, study if you're into that sort of thing, it really helps.

Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, I was also busy rewriting the story thus far because I was unhappy with it. So I encourage you to go back and reread some early chapters if you're up to it. You don't have too but it may help things make more sense. And now that my rewrite is over I bring to you chapter 36 of the story.

So please enjoy! And review if you feel like I'm doing something wrong with the story.

[A Few Days Passed]

Izuku was on a plane heading to I-Island, surprisingly Izuku was given a private jet supplied by UA. He was allowed to bring his crossbones costume with all of the gear it came with. His guns, ammo, explosives, and all his other throwables, then there were his attachments like the collapsible shield. He was fully kitted out and ready for anything, and as far as he knew, he was the only one who knew that an attack was planned.

Of course, Mei loaded the cargo hold with her inventions saying Izuku should network for her. He knew there was one person who wasn't happy about the cargo hold being full, that person being his clone who was stashed in the cargo hold with the finished white costume.

He looked out the window of the plane to see a huge artificial island with a city in the middle of it. He did have to admit I-Island was a modern marvel, it is capable of moving to a new location while supporting some of the greatest minds ever. And to think his schematics and inventions were good enough to present in their expo, people dreamed of something like this.

But Izuku never had any intention of getting this far, if anything he's here on a whim and pure dumb luck. However, all of that was overshadowed by the possibility of getting his hands on David Shield's quirk amplification research. He couldn't care less about the device itself but the research was more valuable to him.

'If I get that research it might let me make leaps and bounds on my quirk nullifier and artificial quirk drugs. His research is focused on how to amplify a quirk, so in theory, it should give me answers on how to weaken a quirk as well. And shed some light on how to forcibly modify DNA to be able to use a quirk.'

His entire reason for putting up with this expo was to get the research, and he already formed a plan with his clone on how to go about doing that. There were two plans in place, plan A involved the clone making a mad dash to the research in the hopes of getting it first. But that plan was the one less likely to succeed since they didn't have access to the whole island.

Plan B was to steal the research after it's already been stolen, the clone was fully capable of hiding to ambush the villains. If Izuku could do it then the clone could do it just like him. But of course, these plans were huge risks. He had no information on the plan the villains had, he also didn't know which villains would be here. Which could severely limit him, if the chance a villain who knew he was Deku was here his cover would be blown, so he needed to tread carefully.

The plane landed on one of the runways I-Island had, Izuku changed into his crossbones costume. Putting on the black costume with armor sewed into it he put on his new pants, which had shin and knee guards added for kicking power, then everything else went on, including the ammo vest that had all his ammo in it accompanied by a skull design.

After he got suited up he began to grab his guns making sure to put all of them in their respective holsters, the double-barrel on the lower back, pump shotgun on the back, grapple gun on his belt, and twin pistols on his thighs. Next came knives, one knife on his steel arm shoulder with the collapsible shield on his forearm, on the other arm was his hidden blade and his other knife was on his belt.

Finally, support items came next, he placed his drugs in his belt pouch along with some standard medical equipment. All his explosives were visible on his belt now since he had all his ammo in the vest. His impact explosives, remote detonation bombs, firebombs, ice explosives, foam grenades, concussive grenades, hologram spheres, sleep chemicals, and everything else he carried into battle he had on his belt. He also packed in a few bugs just in case he needed to use them.

Looking in the mirror he looked like he was getting ready to go to war but this was his costume. He was thankful that I-Island gave him a temporary gun license and hero license or else he wouldn't have been able to bring any of these things with him. Finishing off the look with his half mask he put it on and made sure the filter and voice changer was off.

Seeing that he was able to leave the plane now he got out and went through their checkpoints where he was stopped several times for his munitions. Overall he knew this was going to take a while to get through as security checked every inch of him and his luggage. He did wonder what the clone was up to though.

…

Clone Izuku was squeezed in the cargo hold with all his gear and he was getting rightfully annoyed now. Mei was a great friend but there were times she could a bit too much to handle, one of those times was now. She wasn't even here and yet clone Izuku was getting frustrated. Yet he was impressed with her ability to shove all her inventions in the cargo hold like it was a game of Tetris.

Getting fed up with it all he got up and began to put on an airport tarmac worker uniform he had prepared. Making sure to put his white costume in a suitcase so he could discretely get it out and make his way to the central tower on the island. Putting a reflective vest on and a pair of headphones on around his neck he tied his hair up into a short ponytail and put a ballcap on.

He felt the plane come to a stop at one of the airport gates and waited a bit for the cargo hold to be opened by the workers. Hiding behind some of the luggage he watched the door open and a guy come in with his friend and they began to take out most of the boxes. While both worked moved to the front of the cargo hold clone Izuku snuck out behind them with a box he grabbed from the plane.

Setting his briefcase on top of the box he made his way over to the cart the workers were using to unload the cargo from the plane. As he walked over he saw that a few workers were connecting the fueling line and looked at him. He put on a confident face and played it off cool making it look like he belonged there.

Eventually, he felt the gazes from the fuel workers go somewhere else so they weren't looking at him. So he put the box he was holding down and got under the cart when no one was looking. He grabbed onto the bottom of the cart and waited there for the workers to come and move it.

He didn't have to wait too long since the workers finished unloading as they loaded the cart with everything Mei had shipped here. Still, on the bottom of the cart clone Izuku watched as the ground was a few inches away from scraping against him. He crossed the entire airfield and got into a warehouse close to the airport border. When they stopped the cart, he rolled out from under the cart, stood up, and walked over to the exit.

Walking out the exit door, no one batted an eye at him as he left the airport through a warehouse exit. He was now in a shipping depot, with a few trucks getting ready to move whatever they were hauling to another place. Walking over to a few crates he began scanning through addresses till he found one that landed him close to the central tower.

Looking around for the truck that would be taking the shipment he looked over and saw no one was looking so he got under the truck with his briefcase. He waited a bit before the cargo was loaded onto the truck, then a few final checks were made and the truck was off with its secret passenger.

A while of driving later, clone Izuku was now at some distribution center close to the central tower. Taking off his vest and other disguise items except for the ponytail and ball cap he tossed everything else and put on a surgical mask and some sunglasses then began to walk amongst the crowds as he went over to the central tower.

A short walk later, clone Izuku was at the base of the tower and looked up at it, it was easily two hundred stories tall and he knew this was going to suck. "Damn it, no one ever said this spy shit was this ridiculous."

With a sigh, he looked around at the surrounding buildings and saw a decently tall one. It was probably a third of the height of the central tower, but any height would be a good height. Heading over to the building he walked into it with confidence to make the staff not think twice about him.

Heading over to the stairwell he began climbing up the several flights of stairs, it was certainly a workout. Too bad he was a clone so he couldn't improve his physical condition, that was up to the original to do. Making it to the roof he looked at the central tower and tried to see if there was a place he can use to grapple over. He spotted a vent that he should be able to use to grapple over.

Turning around he went over to his briefcase and opened it to do some final checks. Deciding everything was in fine working order he sat down on a shady part of the roof and sent a text off to the real Izuku to tell him he was in position. Then he leaned back and used the briefcase as a pillow and relaxed till it was time to strike.

…

Real Izuku had just finished getting interviewed by five different airport officers, plus he just finished three separate full body and equipment searches. He knew the I-Island agents and officers had a stick up their ass about all of this but he didn't think they would be this anal about it. Sighing he just put his half-mask back on and began walking off to where he was staying for his limited time here.

Then he got a text from someone on his phone, pulling it out he saw that his clone was in position. Now it was time for him to do his part in the plan.

'First I need to attempt to gain master access to the Island, I can do that through David Shield but what's the best way to get to him by not looking suspicious?'

Izuku had his hand to his chin in thought as he stood against a wall trying to think of a good way to get to David. Looking up Izuku saw an advertisement on one of the many screens they had at the airport. It was an ad about the support school on the Island and that gave Izuku a brilliant idea and a grin formed on his face.

"Melissa Shield will be my ticket inside, all I have to do is find her, introduce myself then go off about how cool David shield is and she'll probably ask if I want to meet him. Then I will say I don't want to impose and then lure her into doing it anyway. Alright, now to find her, If I were a hot blonde female teenage support course student where would I be on this stupid island?"

Izuku decided just walking around making his way closer to the support school would be his best bet at finding Melissa Shield. So he descended the steps of the airport and ended up in plaza type area, but what caught his eye were the interviews being performed live on the screens in the plaza. The incoming inventors and heroes were being interviewed right there in the plaza.

Normally he would try and get away from this type of stuff but if he wanted to get Melissa out in the open then he would need to lure her out. 'If she's a support student then she couldn't possibly resist seeing new equipment.' He took his half-mask off and acted casually to sort of standout but not really stand out. Eventually though with his mask off, he got attention from fans. People ran over to him and began to talk to him.

"Oh my god! Are you Izuku Midoriya! I watched the sports festival and you were so cool!"

"Can I have an autograph from the guy who took down the hero killer!?"

"Can I get a picture!? And is it true your quirkless!?"

A good portion of people came over and began to ask Izuku various things, he put on a fake smile to hide his annoyance with this situation. He signed some autographs and took selfies with the people who asked, and even lifted his shirt to show off his new scars and some people winced while others admired his body and dedication. Eventually, after he signed more autographs and took more pictures someone asked the question why he was here.

"Excuse me, Sir Midoriya?" Izuku looked over to see a microphone shoved in his face by the person interviewing people in the plaza. "Are you available for a few questions?" Izuku internally smiled because this is what he wanted.

"I guess I am, go ahead, ask away lady," Izuku said trying to sound as disinterested as possible.

"Why are you here at I-Island, I know you won the sports festival but this doesn't seem like a thing you'd do."

"Well that's easy, some of my inventions and designs were submitted to the expo. And a few were accepted so here I am." The interviewer was a bit shocked to hear that Izuku was here because he was invited to participate in the expo.

"That is very impressive Sir Midoriya, not many people get the chance to display what they made in the expo, especially not people as young as you! What inventions have you submitted that got approved?"

"Well as far as I know my plate armor, and a few of my support grenades were accepted."

"Oh those sound quite impressive, can you explain them?"

"No I will not talk about them, because if I did I would spoil what the expo has in store for everyone." The interviewer looked a little disheartened but she did have one more question for Izuku.

"If I could ask one more question Sir Izuku, I-Island offers many forms of activities, is there something you are dying to do here? I'm sure there's something for everyone here."

"What I want to do is meet David Shied." Izuku just signed one last autograph and then began to leave while everyone watched him go. The interviewer moved to another hero and so did the people. But Izuku's plan did work and he got the attention of a blonde-haired girl who took an interest in Izuku and his desire to meet David Shield.

Izuku was walking along while receiving an update from the clone, telling him that he was ready to start his recon and intrusion into the tower should it be necessary. As he walked he was tapped on the shoulder and he turned to get a face full of boobs. Lifting his gaze higher he was met with a cheery smile, some ocean blue eyes, a pair of glasses, and long wavy blonde hair. He recognized this girl as nonother than Melissa Shield.

"Well if it isn't Melissa Shield. To what do I owe the pleasure?" She chuckled at Izuku's nonchalant-ness and introduced herself.

"I didn't think someone would recognize me right off the bat, you must really want to see my dad. But a formal introduction sounds like a good plan. I'm Melissa Shield, call me Melissa." She extended her hand to Izuku and he took it while introducing himself.

"Izuku Midoriya, call me Izuku. And your assumption that I want to meet David Shield is correct."

"I know because I watched the interview, plus is it really true you have designs and inventions in the expo?"

"Yeah, that's true." Izuku had a smug smile on his face as he confirmed her question, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Wow! You must be a very talented support course student if you were able to get your designs into the expo." Izuku looked at her quizzically.

"I'm not in the support course, I'm in the hero course." Melissa's eyes widened further in surprise, she only heard of support heroes occasionally getting into the expo. But Izuku was just a bit younger and yet he already had designs and inventions in the expo.

"That's amazing! You're already so accomplished for someone so young; you must have an excellent quirk." Izuku looked at her like she was crawling out from under a rock.

"You didn't watch the sports festival did you?" Izuku got a confused nod from her and he just sighed. "Well I won the UA sports festival and I'm quirkless, and I have inventions in the expo, that should suffice for speaking about my skills." Melissa's eyes shot open at what he just said, she needed to make sure she heard that right.

"Did you just say you're quirkless? As in you don't have a quirk whatsoever!"

"Yeah, what's so hard to understand about that?" Melissa blinked her eyes in more surprise, 'He's more accomplished than me, and I'm quirkless too.' Izuku snapped his fingers in front of her face and it got her attention.

"Sorry about that, it's just surprising to see a fellow quirkless person be so accomplished." Izuku raised his eyebrows at that.

"What's so unbelievable about it, all I did was work my ass off to get this good. So what are you doing today?" Melissa shook her head because Izuku was right, he is the literal embodiment of work your ass off. She focused back on Izuku.

"I'm going to be spending my day looking around the Expo and then I'm going to go see my dad. Want to tag along since you want to meet him?" Izuku grinned on the inside and calmed himself.

"I don't want to impose on the time you use to see your dad."

"It's fine, I think he'll enjoy meeting a fellow inventor who made it into the Expo." Melissa smiled while looking down at Izuku and Izuku acted like he was considering her offer.

"Oh what the hell, why not. Lead the way." Melissa grinned at Izuku and grabbed his arm and led him off to some other part of the island. They passed a manmade beach and they made their way over to the Expo area where they were showing off a few inventions.

Izuku and Melissa were walking around and Izuku was slightly impressed with the inventions he saw. He could spot a few weaknesses in the inventions and he could see how to improve them instantly. Melissa however didn't point out any of those so he kept it to himself. Then they came across Izuku's hologram spheres which were attracting many people, with their display of near-perfect holograms. Melissa was shocked to see such inventions and went to go see them.

"Look at these Izuku, the person who made these must be very talented. The holograms look so lifelike, almost like the person is really here."

Then all of a sudden the hologram spheres' image flickers and an Izuku hologram came out of the sphere shocking the spectators. Melissa turned around and saw Izuku was on his phone typing something in. Then he switched on his half mask and spoke into the microphone.

"Yo, how do you like my spheres. My name is Izuku Midoriya and I am the creator of these spheres. Take a good long look people, I am the best inventor here." The spheres switched back to the images they were showing before and Melissa turned back to Izuku.

"Isn't calling yourself the best inventor here a little arrogant?" Izuku grinned at her once he took his half-mask off.

"It isn't arrogance when it's true. One day you'll understand when you surpass all these guys." Melissa was a bit taken back by Izuku's compliment on her potential, but she wouldn't get the chance to think about it more as Momo, Uraraka, and Jiro came up to them.

"Well, I wasn't expecting to see you here Izuku." Izuku shifted his attention over to the newly arrived girls.

"Hey ladies, what are you doing here? Momo I understand because of her parent's company, but why you guys?"

"Oh, we're here because we were invited by Momo. We saw your inventions on display down a few displays, and they were amazing!" Uraraka was eradiating enthusiasm as she talked about Izuku's inventions. Izuku would normally gush at the compliment with Eri around, but with her not here he felt a little weird among them. Almost like he didn't fit in with them because of who he is and what he's about to do. And he wants to be their friend and he knows they can take care of themselves, but he still doesn't want to involve them too much.

"Oh are these your friends Izuku?" Melissa asked turning to the other girls.

"Yeah, we're friends of Izuku's. Who are you?" Jiro asked

"Oh I was just showing Izuku around, you guys want to tag along?" The girls agreed and Melissa led them to another part of the island as Izuku followed behind them. As he tailed them to a little food hut where the girls sat down and talked, Izuku sat alone and stared at his phone while they talked.

As he did this he didn't notice Mineta, Kaminari, and Ida come over to them. He didn't notice them at all and he just ignored them all as they talked. Instead, he got a text from his clone.

Hey fucker, I finished the recon, there are a few exterior entrances and exits I can use. There's also a helicopter on the roof which I've rigged to blow with a count-down detonator. Your call if you want to use it though. Izuku read the message and texted the clone back.

Good, standby for when shit hits the fan tonight, there's no predicting what will happen.

Just as he sent the text his attention was drawn elsewhere by Ida who had successfully gotten Izuku's attention. "Izuku, glad to see you're back with us, are you okay?"

"Yeah I am, sorry I was doing something else, what we're we talking about?"

"We were talking about the party tonight to welcome the heroes and inventors to the island. Will you be going to it? If so I have a suit you can wear if you'd like." Izuku studied them for a moment, he knew they'd be walking into a trap if they went, if his plan was going to work he'd need them out of the party.

"Yeah I'll be going to the party, and I don't need a suit."

"That's good to hear, and I heard that Bakugo forgot a suit so Kirishima brought an extra for him. I figured you'd do the same since you're not the biggest fan of large events like this." Izuku chuckled at Ida for his remark.

"Well, well, well, looks like the speedster is starting to mellow out. Yeah, I hate events like that because I feel exposed. And every time I go to one everything goes south faster than Tom Cruise does in Top Gun." Everyone looked at him confused, "What?"

"Who's Tom Cruise?" Uraraka asked which just made Izuku sigh and shake his head.

"Nevermind, anyway what now?" Ida was about to respond with something to do but then they heard a loud explosion come from somewhere nearby. Everyone's attention was on the startling explosion, some more than others since Izuku had his hand on one of his pistols, ready to pull it out and mag dump some poor guy. But then he recognized the explosion and chastised himself for being so jumpy.

"Woah calm down there Izuku, I know it was startling but it wasn't that startling was it?" Kaminari half-joked as he saw Izuku's hand on his gun. Izuku took a breather and let go of his gun, then got up and began making his way over to the sound.

'Fuck I must be more on edge than I thought, after all, I am in one giant man-made metal trap right now.'

"I'm going to go see what that was, who wants to come with?" Everyone except Kminari and Mineta followed and they arrived at some arena. And when they got there they saw Kirishima down in the arena, and next to him was a pissed-off Bakugo.

"Wow I didn't think Bakugo would be here, why is he here? It's not like he has the cash to come." Uraraka asked while raising an eyebrow.

"I gave him my sports festival invite." The others looked at Izuku like he was mad because this was out of character for him, but they rolled with it anyway. "It looks like this is some mobility competition, and Bakugo got first, but why is he angry?" As Izuku pondered his question Kirishima noticed them and waved to them.

"Hey guys, nice seeing you here, you guys want to try this course too?" As Kirishima talked to the others Bakugo took notice and centered his gaze onto Izuku and exploded up to him.

"IZUKU! What are you doing here you nerd!" Bakugo screamed making everyone except Izuku wince. Izuku just stared at him with a disinterested look.

"Good to see you to loser." Izuku mocked which only made Bakugo angrier.

"What did you say to me!"

"What? Are you deaf now? Did you finally lose your hearing from all your explosions?"

"Asshole!"

"Dumbass!"

"Cocksucker!"

"Motherfucking piece of shit!" As Izuku and Bakugo called each other every name in the book Melissa looked on in curiosity since this was a new sight for her.

"Um do those two hate each other?" She turned to Momo who just sighed as Ida walked over to them and tried to get them to shut up.

"Not exactly, they're…friends…this is just the nature of their friendship." Melissa just nodded at the answer still confused at how the two could possibly be friends when they're so hostile to each other. Luckily Kirishima interrupted them and asked Izuku if he wanted to compete against Bakugo's 12 second clear time.

"Yo Izuku you want to try this course, Bakugo got twelve seconds on it."

"What do I have to do?" He said as he hopped the rail and dropped to the arena floor.

"All you need to do is go through the course and destroy those robots you find along the way," Kirishima said pointing at the mountain. Izuku put his half-mask on and grinned under it while the announcer talked about his arrival. He quickly loaded some shells into his pump shotgun and had a hand full of explosives ready so he could send something into oblivion.

He walked to the starting line and pulled out his double-barrel and loaded it while readying the meat hook. Once he got ready he got into a runner's starting position and the alarm sounded.

Using his absolute max power output he blasted off the ground with pure sprinting ability and then leaped off a rock. He did a flip in the air and blew a hole through one robot and landed with a roll.

Once back on his feet he threw an explosive in between two bots and sprinted past the bots as they blew up behind him. Using his eat hook he pulled out his pump shotgun and as he rappelled up the mountain he blasted bots away with one hand and pumped the gun with his leg.

Landing at the top of the mountain he canceled out the rest of his momentum by sliding on the ground letting him slide under the legs of a bot and leave behind an explosive gift for it.

Jumping off the top of the mountain he pointed his feet downwards as he threw the rest of his small explosives at bots as he fell. With his feet pointed down he drop kicked a bot and then used its body to slide down the rest of the mountain.

Coming to a stop at the finish line he pulled his pistol out, cocked it, and put two rubber rounds in the bot's eyes. Then he walked past the finish line and the alarm sounded, he looked up and saw he got thirteen seconds.

"Eh, close enough." He said with a shoulder shrug as the audience clapped for his athletic display. Walking over to the rest of the group he saw Bakugo fuming at how Izuku almost beat his time but he let it go while still being angry and grouchy. Meanwhile, Melissa got a text from her father saying she can come up now.

But as their backs were turned they failed to notice Todoroki come in and demolish all times by getting ten seconds by incasing the whole course in ice. Melissa told Izuku they can go meet David Shield now and he climbed back up to her and followed her to his lab. The others said goodbye to him and they were expecting him to just walk off like he usually does unless he has Eri with him. But he waved his hand back at them without looking but it made everyone who cared enough happy at the fact he said goodbye to them.

…

Izuku and Melissa were right outside David's lab, Melissa had taken him to the central tower and guided him to one of the upper floors where David's lab was. Melissa knocked on the lab door and it opened up when Sa pressed the button inside. Melissa walked in while Izuku took off his half mask and then walked in.

"Hi dad! How are you doing!" Melissa said as she jumped into the main lab and hugged David."

"Melissa, it's good to see you, I didn't think I'd see you till later tonight at the party," David said, surprised at her sudden appearance.

"I know, but I brought someone here who wanted to see you! Come and meet my dad Izuku." Both David and Sam looked at the person they didn't notice was there and Izuku stepped forward and introduced himself.

With a grin that showed off his left eye cross scars, Izuku stuck his hand out towards David. David let go of Melissa and took Izuku's hand and noted just how strong Izuku's grip was. He was also curious as to who Izuku was since he looked like a walking armory.

"It's nice to meet you Mr. Shield, my name is Izuku Midoriya, call me Izuku, I'm a student at UA and I'm also an inventor."

"Please, that Mr. and Dr. stuff makes me sound like a teacher, just call me David, so what brings you to my lab Izuku?"

"Nothing in particular, I just wanted to meet one of the best inventors on the planet." David laughed at the compliment.

"Come on, I'm good but I'm not that good, by the way, your name sounds familiar, where have I heard it?"

"I believe he was the winner of the UA sports festival sir," Sam said interrupting David's train of thought.

"Oh yeah! I saw that which begs the question are you really quirkless? I couldn't believe it when I first heard of it!" Izuku fake chuckled and looked David in the eye and saw a hint of nervousness.

"Yes, I am quirkless, born and raised that way." Then Melissa interjected.

"He's not just quirkless ad, he's also extremely intelligent, we just came from the expo and Izuku showed off his hologram spheres!" David and Sam looked at Izuku with impressed gazes, they never thought that someone as young as Izuku would be able to compete with the world's best inventors.

"…Oh my, that is quite impressive, not only are you a skilled fighter, you are an extremely intelligent individual," David said a bit flabbergasted.

"I know, I'm pretty good, aren't I?" As Izuku agreed with David's claims he noticed Sam look uneasy, almost like he was worried about being found out, so Izuku grew suspicious of him.

"Well, I look forward to seeing your inventions in the Expo," David said unaware of Izuku's watchful eye. But Izuku wanted to keep him talking so he can read David and Sam more.

"Actually, I remember an invention that you made, it was a quirk amplification device, I was hoping you can tell me more about it?" Both Sam and David froze at the device mentioned, they were assured no one would know of it, but here Izuku was asking about it. They didn't know what to do about being asked about it, especially since Melissa was here.

"I'm sorry I have no idea what you're talking about Izuku, we've never made a device like that before. But if you're asking about quirk projects then I think my college Dr. Diaz can help you." David said with nervousness in his voice.

Izuku studied both Sam and David and saw their worried expressions. He also picked up on the guilty feeling the two had around them. Izuku was instantly alerted to their change in behavior, which signified to him that these two were the ones behind the planned heist. He knew it was them because any other member of the team would have just said the project was canceled but they were hoping people would have forgotten about the amplification device because stealing it would have been easier.

Izuku nodded at confirming that these two men were behind the planned heist, he discreetly put his hand into his pouch and talked at the same time to get their attention.

"Oh that's a shame, I thought you guys had data that I could look at, well if you don't have anything to tell me then I guess I'll be on my way. See you at the party David." Izuku turned to leave and a confused Melissa looked to her father then followed after Izuku.

When Izuku made it to the door he pulled out a small bug that worked as a listening device and quickly tossed it to the floor under a machine. He pressed the button and left with Melissa in tow, and she talked to Izuku.

"What was that about, didn't you want to talk to my dad?" Izuku put his half-mask back on and looked at Melissa with his emerald eyes.

"I did talk to him; I wanted to meet him and ask about one of his past projects. And if he can't tell me about it then there's no point in sticking around." Melissa looked at Izuku curiously and wondered what Izuku was talking about.

"I've never heard of a project like that, are you sure it was something my dad worked on?" Izuku glanced at Melissa and studied her confused and concerned face before responding.

"If you don't know anything about it then I shouldn't tell you, that's something to talk about with your dad."

…

Back in David's lab, both men were nervously talking about the plan. Sam was the most concerned. Then the bug Izuku dropped activated and began transmitting to Clone Izuku.

"Are we sure the plan will work now, he knows about the device, and he's going to the party tonight. He can mess everything up!" Sam was greatly worried because his life was on the line while David was just concerned.

"I don't think we need to worry; we just need to inform the actors and say they need to take Izuku and keep a close eye on him. He's skilled, despite being quirkless, he can easily dispatch them." Sam didn't look relieved because he was the only one who knew that actual villains were on the island.

Clone Izuku listened in and was not surprised that the two inexperienced men were freaking out. He was glad Izuku didn't give himself away by saying he knew what they were planning but he wished he had more information about who he was up against. He relayed the information to the real Izuku and began making preparations for tonight.

Meanwhile, Sam got in contact with his villains and told them of a certain someone that could mean trouble for them if they're not careful. Wolfram, the leader of the villains, listened to the news with a stern face. His men had never seen Deku without his mask before since they weren't affiliated with the League, but Wolfram has.

"Fuck, this got hard." Wolfram knows who Izuku is and he's aware of his abilities. But he began making plans to capture him so he could sell Izuku back to the League. So he grinned at the idea of a bigger payday.

…

It was approaching the evening and Izuku had split away from Melissa. She said she'll see him later at the expo party. Izuku waved her goodbye and went to where he was staying on the Island.

Once inside his room, he began gearing up. He brought a special black suit that he made a while back, it had his third-generation armor woven between the fabrics all around his body. This armor was light and flexible, and strong enough to completely stop bullets from penetrating and it prevented his body from getting laceration since it was extremely hard to tear.

But the big weakness of it was that it wasn't good at absorbing shock, so if he got hit enough times by a powerful blow. The armor would begin to crack internally, then it would be shredded like paper, so he had to be careful with it and dodge as much as he could.

Putting on the suit with a white dress shirt under it and a skinny tie that fit his body type, he put on some black dress shoes. Then he went over to a briefcase opened it and saw it was full of clothes. He pulled out all the clothes and it revealed his covert operation gear.

He pulled out a knife that was smaller than his usual knives but it was sharp enough to cut into metal. Then he grabbed two knuckles dusters that had small triangular spikes at the knuckles. He put the knife in the sole of his dress shoe, and put the knuckles dusters on his belt, and disguised them as an intricate belt buckle.

Reaching back into the briefcase he pulled out some custom-made ammo, there were no rubber rounds this time, he had live magazines. He had made custom subsonic ammo that helped reduce noise but each round had enough stopping power to put someone on the ground fast. He discretely put the magazines on the inside of his belt so when he was strip-searched they wouldn't feel them under his belt.

Looking into the briefcase again he pulled out six rings, two were powerful remote explosives that had an extremely small amount of enriched uranium inside. Another ring served as a button, upon pressing it the nuclear rings would fire off a neutron at the uranium creating a small nuclear explosion that was powerful enough to destroy a bunker.

The next two rings were powerful magnets that had dual purposes, he could climb up metal walls and surfaces with them, and the other function served as a small proximity EMP. The last ring was just a small data storage card that he planned on using to get David's research. He put the six rings on his hands and then went to the main piece of the covert kit.

The last thing inside the briefcase was an easily constructed gun with a suppressor. Izuku had made the gun with stealth in mind. When the gun fired it created a small noise that was just the mechanisms inside the gun working, there was no other sound. But the best part about it was that the gun transformed into a wallet and metal slate as big as a phone.

It was easily disassembled into a wallet and phone and Izuku put the suppressor in his other shoe sole. Then he took the wallet and phone and put them in his pocket. And he put his real phone in his suit pocket. Looking in the mirror Izuku saw that he looked clean and nothing looked out of place so he could easily get past security with his gear.

Izuku left the building and made his way to the tower with a smirk on his face, he knew tonight was going to be tiresome but he had a mission to accomplish. He looked to a building and saw his clone suited up in the white combat suit.

The suit the clone wore was a mix of white and grey, the grey was just uncovered armor at the joints, And the mask was painted white but it could analyze fighting ability during a fight to predict the next attack. There was also a small cloaking unit that could refract light around the user for one minute.

The weapons the clone had were just guns, a sword, and a shield, with a few explosives. Izuku stared at his clone then saw him put a white hood on and disappear which he assumed was the work of the cloak unit.

Izuku just continued to grin as he walked to the central tower, he noticed just how busy the streets were at this time of night. But he looked forward and kept walking, as he walked he muttered a few words with a grin.

"It's showtime baby."
