Hey guys. So if you read my earlier story I posted today (A Titan's Prize) you know that I know that it is not friday. I have been trying to dedicate the week to my book, and friday to fanfiction, but that has been hit or miss. Personal stuff killed me last week, and friday I had to play catchup on other things. Never the less, I do want to give you guys some fanfiction either every week, or a double to triple helping depending on if I miss a week.

Now I am giddy beyond belief to get to do this, but I get to respond to reviews in a chapter! God you guys rock!

1: There was some confusion due to some wording, our pikachu is fine. He only had one arm to play with the kids due to his other arm holding the little girl.

2: Denki not winding up with Kyoka. Ya know, I went back on forth on this for a while, and only decided on this chapter to not put them together. Originally, the story was about miscommunication and working it out after her engagement falls through, but I'm liking where it's heading now much more.

3:Mina... oh Mina, where to begin? Not going to lie, I never understood her hype. Still dont. But I do enjoy quite a few fanfiction with her as a main character. So yeah she was the only other pairing I could think of for Denki and I hope you all will enjoy it.

I own only my plot.

Chapter 3

Kyoka didn't know what to do. As she paced her temporary apartment she tried to figure out where everything had gone so wrong. Momo's phone was going straight to voicemail, Denki was clearly not an option, Kirishima had stonewalled her (an irony she promised herself she would laugh at later), and Mineta had also made it quite clear that he would offer her nothing. Exasperated she collapsed on her couch. She had tried to do the right thing, hadn't she? Denki clearly didn't want to her about her current fiancee the first time, and it's not like there was anything between them! Sure Denki hung around her the most, but he didn't treat her any different, did he? No. They laughed and clowned around, but there was not even the slightest chance that Denki was jealous. So obviously she wouldn't rub it in his face again when she and her boyfriend got back together…..or engaged…...she was looking out for him….trying to be a good friend…...right?

Brain going round and round, she decided to turn on some TV to distract her, only to see a news blurb about the Martial Arts duo, Deku and Big Fist, and how they were handling both being a superhero team as well as married. Kyoka smiled at Itsuka and Izuku's smiles as they sat hand in hand throughout the interview. Then it clicked, she pulled out her phone and found the number. She knew someone who would help anyone…..

"I can't help you."

Kyoka sat dumbfounded as Izuku casually refused to help her. "But I just need-"

Itsuka cut her off. "That's the problem." Confused she turned to the red headed heroine as she sat by her husband. "It's still about you. Right now Denki is in a really bad place, and is just starting to see a glimmer of light at the end of his tunnel. If you go and try to make things better for you, you could possibly break him, beyond repair even."

Kyoka rolled her eyes. "Wow marrying a walking heroic cliche hasn't made you melodramatic at all….."

Itsuka stood, and instead of pummeling her like Kyoka had expected halfway through that sentence, turned and walked away. She felt awful for saying that, but it had just slipped! Izuku stood, his new green armored costume and larger frame looking almost intimidating when he lacked his usual smile. "I think it's time for you to leave."

"Wait! ….I'm sorry, ok? I've just been really stressed, I didn't mean to say that." She pleaded. "I need your help Izuku. Please?"

Izuku looked away and Kyoka realized how bad she had screwed up. Standing she made her way to the door, but paused when he spoke. "I meant what I said when I can't help you. You have to help yourself here. You make a slip like that with him, in the state he's in, you could lose your friend forever….in more ways than one."

Her blood went cold as she turned to face him. "What are you talking about Izuku?"

"Two weeks after your engagement was announced, Denki jumped off a building. Mineta barely saved his life. He won't get therapy, and won't tell anyone what's going on in his head, so we're all concerned. I will not help you reunite with him because right now you could be what sets him off beyond reasoning or stopping."

Kyoka had tears in her eyes, but at the last sentence she whirled around in anger and stomped to the door. "So it's all my fault? Yeah screw you too." She finished before slamming the door as she left.

Itsuka came out of their bedroom at the sound of the slam, and wrapped her arms around her dejected husband, as he sadly let the group know how the conversation had gone….

Denki smiled as he exited the hospital. Much as he hated to admit it, Mineta was right, this was why he was a hero. The kids smiling faces and almost cheering after just a second visit had him humming a little tune to himself as he left. Until he realized that his apartment was the other way and in his haste to turn around he ran right into another person who had just walked out of the hospital. "I am so sor-" His mouth stopped when he saw who was sprawled on the ground.

"It's fine I wasn…...Denki?"

"Mina?"

"It's so great to see you!" They both said simultaneously, which made them laugh. Mina recovered first and was right in his face.

"It's been so long! What are you doing here?"

Kaminari bashfully rubbed the back of his neck. "I had some… things going on."

Mina winked at him. "I bet you did mister rank fifteen!"

"Not like that…. But how are you doing?"

Mina grinned. "Oh you know, saving the world. The little things ya know?" She said, curling one arm to show her bicep. "I don't usually visit this hospital honestly. I came today because I found out that no one had been visiting here and it's close to where I live, so I figured I would check it out." Her smile fell when he looked away in shame. Forcing a smile she said "Anyways, since you did knock me over….. How bout you make it up to me by buying me dinner!"

"I dont…" Then thinking about it for a second he said "What the hell. Why not? Where would the lady like to go?"

"Ooh I know just the place follow me!" With that she was off like a shot, but not before grabbing his hand to pull him along after her….

As Denki and Mina sat so stuffed that neither could move, the two friends caught up on each others daily lives. Mina was sitting at rank twenty-four, but that was fine with her. She was much more focused on improving lives over saving them. She had started a couple of school programs, including an anti-bullying one alongside Izuku that seemed to be really taking off. Denki hadn't been as thrilled when it was his turn to talk, but Mina listened with rapt attention. As they finished all of the major topics the two fell into small talk until the bill arrived. Begrudgingly Denki paid for the two of them, glaring at her as she sipped her drink innocently. "Seriously, how did I get roped into paying for this?"

Mina batted her eyelashes exaggeratedly. "Because you wanted to be a gentleman after knocking a lady to the ground so harshly."

"Okay so why didn't she come to dinner? And why did I pay for you, Alien Queen?" Mina gave him a fake pout and looked indignant before responding.

"Despite your lack of manners, even you have to realize there really isn't a place for a wallet in this." She said striking a pose and Denki's mouth dried up. Mina had always been one of the cuter girls in class in his opinion and that had not changed. Instead she had finished growing, yet kept the spandex, which combined with that pose and look on her face should be grounds for a public indecency ticket. After stammering hopelessly for a minute, he simply went back to his drink, muttering a 'your welcome.' Then thoughts of Kyoka slipped back in and he felt his mood souring.

"Thanks for inviting me out. Even if it was just a food scam, I had fun. I'm gonna head home now."

Mina pouted. "You would just abandon your friend after such an evening? Fine, away with you cad!"

Denki rolled his eyes at his friends antics, Kyoka fading from his thoughts. "Fine what else did you require me to pay for?" Only to regret his wording as his friend got a grin that scared him more than anything the league of villains had ever done….

Mina had wanted to leap for joy when Mineta told her that Denki was going to visit the kids again, and had in fact when she heard of him visiting again the next day, unprompted. Quickly suiting up on her day off, she rushed to the hospital to bump into her old friend. She had not however, expected to find herself sprawled on the ground, looking up at her friend who in her absence had gotten hot! Then to see him stumbling over his words talking to her made her glad that it was hard to see when she was blushing.

Denki Kaminari had always been one of her dream guys throughout high school. He was kind, funny, goofy, a thrill seeker, devoted… It was the last part that kept them apart. Everyone knew about how much he cared for Jirou Kyoka. Mina had thought about asking him out anyways, but had always stopped herself. She would never be that girl. Then they simply lost touch after the League's defeat. When she had found out that Kyoka was engaged she expected to see Denki, which made her do a double take when she didn't see any mention of him. Then came the TV interview that dropped her opinion of Kyoka to less than her opinion of the villains she fought.

When Mineta sent out the group text about what Denki had tried to do, she was one of the first ones there. Arriving just in time to hear the bottle smash, and see Momo run out crying. And she lost her nerve. Then he stopped talking to any of them and only focused on his Hero career, and Mina realized that Kyoka had broken him for good. But seeing him now, that was the farthest thing from her mind. Making small talk, she inwardly grinned, there was still time! Dialing the flirt up to eleven, she asked him to dinner, only for him to turn her down. Then change his mind before her expression could fall. Without thinking she had grabbed his hand to make sure that he didn't back out again, and she almost had to check to make sure he hadn't used his quirk, but the electricity and warmth she felt from him felt good. Not like the times she had scared him and gotten zapped by accident.

But as they ate, that feeling of him being broken wouldn't leave her alone. They laughed, and joked, and reminisced. But it never reached his eyes. There was a wall he had put between them that she couldn't see, and it was breaking her heart. Then the check came and for the first time in the entire evening she saw an opening. He complained, she quipped, he quipped back, then she struck. Mina's self image issues had faded throughout high school, countless people had helped reaffirm that she was beautiful. Their words paled in comparison with the reaction Denki gave her when she posed to….emphasize her lack of pockets. His jaw dropping, inability to form coherent words, or look her in eyes filled her with plenty of confidence. But then, as soon as it had arrived, the opening slammed shut and Denki was trying to leave. Thinking quickly, she looked put out, and slightly hurt as she told him to leave, only for him to again change his mind.

As he walked right into her trap, she couldn't help the grin that showed through….

So shorter chapter, but I couldn't think of any natural ways to extend it. Plus I did give yall a whole other one shot today so i think i will give myself a pass here! lol.
