12. Chapter Twelve: Just One More Day … Plea

Chapter Twelve: Just One More Day … Please?

It was morning, and the light was shining into the room. Momo looked over to the window and then to the clock on the nightstand. It was 9am, they must have over slept. She was about to move but Izuku had his arms around her holding her tightly to him. She was able to turn a little bit to face him. She was able to get a good look at him.

He was so peaceful, it was serene and full of innocence. His hair was falling down his forehead in soft clumps. She gently pushed the curls of hair away and slowly pushed her hand through his hair. It was always so soft to the touch despite how matted it looked at times. He leaned into her touch a bit letting out a soft moan. She smiled as he was responding to her touch. She rested her hand back down on his chest, slowly tracing each muscle. She felt her cheeks start to heat up as she stared at his chest. He was so well toned it was baffling, she could almost see each muscle fiber under the skin.

She let a hand trace further down, slowly mapping out his torso. Every time she did this felt like it was the first time all over again. She just couldn't get enough of him. This was their last day together for a long time. Her body was already starting to crave him, his voice in ear, the sound of his body rubbing against hers, the feel of his hands moving over her. Only one thing was on her mind right now, she needed him.

She gently pushed him over on his back without waking him. Her eyes widened as he moved slowly in his sleep moving one of his arms over his head. She could swear he had a smile on his face. Her eyes followed down to his waist still covered by the blanket. She ever so slowly lifted it back to let his member spring outwards, he was already at full mast. She couldn't help it any longer, just exploring his body wasn't enough. She moved her hand slowly to the base of the shaft, slowly parting the hair around it.

She looked back at him, he was still sound asleep. Still staring at him she started to massage and move her hand up and down. Each motion she saw a twitch on his face but he didn't wake. She continued for a bit more, feeling the shaft get harder and stiffer in her grip. Her own body was responding to her actions, heating up with anticipation as she could feel her body was getting ready. She started to get a little bolder in her actions.

She turned her attention back to his manhood, slowly getting closer almost as if she hoping he wouldn't wake up just yet. She moved so she was straddling his legs and bent down to lick from the base slowly up to the tip. She stopped when she heard him let another moan. She paused long enough to see if he would wake up, but he simply stopped and let out a breath. She could see his cheeks were starting to flush, his eyes were moving as if he was still in a dream.

She continued again, this time taking just the tip in and gave it a slow suck. She could taste the pre-cum in her mouth and she looked up to see him twisted a bit at the motion. She leaned up and decided it was time to take it to another level. She slowly climbed forward lining him up to slowly push down. She did so in a slow and steady motion, she was savoring each inch as she slowly pushed down. Finally, she heard something from him other than a soft moan. "Momo …" He moved a bit under her as she repeated the motion again while resting her hands on his chest.

"Izu … baby … wake up …" Almost on cue he slowly was opening his eyes. She bucked her hips forward causing something she never saw before. He almost froze as if he was unsure of what to do. His mind was waking up but his body was already sending his mind an overwhelming about on pleasure to it. He moved his hands to her waist and felt him adjust under her causing him to lift forward pushing a little deeper inside of her. He was already in pretty deep but that little push was enough for her to let out his name again. "Ah … Izuku …" She bit her lower lip as she closed her eyes taking every ounce of fullness from the feeling of him inside.

He started to push upward with his hands feeling along her curves. His hands felt amazing as they continued to trace each inch of her skin only to stop at her breasts. He cupped each one in his hands letting his thumbs flow over her nipples. Slowly rubbing them until she had to let out another moan to help release some of the tension that was building in her. When she opened her eyes, she was looking down into his. Both of them had half lidded eyes. She was feeling hot and her body was starting to feel like it was on fire. She leaned forward trying to get closer to him. He moved to match her but instead of capturing her lips he latched on to one her breasts while massaging the other one.

The sucking sound he was making was too much, the rhythm of his thrusts, and the motion of his hand were all in sync with each other. It only took a few moments for her to be thrown into a wave ecstasy. She pushed her hips forward hard as she felt her orgasm run wild through her. Her panting became louder and each breath became more labored. This wave of pleasure was ending anytime soon. He kept the pace up and she felt herself cum over and over again, her mind was going blank. She could barely focus on anything he was doing, it was just the immense pleasure she was feeling. "Izu … you feel … I'm going …" Just from her words she felt a final push in so deep she could have sworn he had pushed into her pelvis. She felt a warm sensation fill inside her as he let his own release fill her. The warm feeling was causing her body to reflexively tighten around him.

They stayed still riding out the waves of their orgasms. She stretched out a bit feeling him stiffen under her, "Momo …" her name was followed by a quick hiss, "Please don't move …" It was almost a plea coming out of him, she couldn't help but to give one more twitch in her hips causing another hiss to leave him and the sound of him clenching the sheets around them. "Momo … sometimes …"

"What? What did I do Izu?" She let a mischievous smile form on her lips as she lifted herself up a bit, the union they shared she didn't want to separate just yet. She gave another buck of her hips against his, watching him tilt his head back as another moan escaped from him. She got a little more ambitious and place her hands firmly on his biceps and pressed down firmly. She needed more of him, it was like she rushing for time. She increased the pace of her hips leaning forward each time to tease a kiss on his lips only to pull back at the last second. She could see she was giving him both pleasure and torture. She had complete control over him, and it was fueling the second wave of passion for her.

It wasn't long before she could feel him twitch under her again, "God damn … Momo …" She had finally milked him for every ounce he could muster. His breath was quick and unsteady, he looked like she had broken him. She crossed her arms and placed them on his chest. She slowly lifted up letting him slip out to let herself rest a little lower on him. He let out a staggered sigh, strong enough to breeze past her hair. "I could get used to waking up like this …" He whispered out.

She felt a since of pride from those words, and if she was honest with herself, she would wake it up like that every chance she got. "Izuku …" she looked into his half-lidded eyes barely able to see those magnificent emerald eyes. "I love you …" she softly said as she leaned upwards a bit to kiss neck.

He started to pushed upwards holding her to his chest as he started to sit up. "I love you too, Momo …" He was still half-asleep seeming to be unsure if he should drift off back to sleep or get up for the day. "Momo …" They both heard a loud knock at the door and a voice they definitely weren't prepared to hear.

"Midoriya, first I know Yaoyorozu is in there, we will get to that in a moment. Principal Nezu needs to speak with you …" Aizawa's voice echoed through room. "Oh, and Yaoyorozu you need to be there too … I expect you to be at the teacher conference room in one hour …" They heard his footsteps walking off and getting further away.

"Crap!" They both spoke in unison. The day was starting off good but quickly went in the wrong direction. She was sure they were going to be punished for disobeying the campus rules. She should have known better and been more careful. She just did what to him what she was scolding her for yesterday.

[ A ]

Iyasu was at the location Mr. Yaoyorozu sent him to, he wasn't disclosed the location for security concerns. He was always impressed with the grandeur of Yaoyorozu Industries, this island looked like it was built specifically for training the teen or high-powered quirk. Not to mention that the island had a state-of-the-art research center and a highly capable staff to back it up.

He slowly exited the aircraft to walk up to the building, he could clearly see Mr. Yaoyorozu and several others there waiting for him. As he got closer his mind began to wonder about the depths of knowledge his newfound employee had as well as the resources at his disposal. He couldn't dwell long on the thoughts he was already in front of the group waiting for him.

"Why good morning Erikku, it is a pleasure to have you here." His employer spoke first in a very jubilant manor.

"Good morning sir. I am eager to start working on …" He was cut off by the man quickly.

"Yes, yes … let me introduce you to your staff. Each one is head of a department her. First, we have Damu Fitto who is head of quirk physical development," He pointed to a man who might have been in his late thirties, was well built and tall with a striking appearance. "Next we have our head of medical, Kurara Kurerikku," She was a slender younger woman most likely the same age as he was. "And finally head of technology, Tensai Enjinia." The man stood pretty tall but had an average build. "These three are to report to you as you head of development research for Yaoyorozu industries as of today."

"We look forward to working with you Mr. Iyasu …" The three bowed and spoke in unison.

He wasn't expecting to be running the island all of its facets, he thought it was just another level of research work. But this was on a whole other level. He was trying to wrap his head around everything. It was pretty crazy how things were rushing forward. "I look forward to producing great results with you all …" Was all he could think to say at the moment.

"Great! Now that the greetings are done, let me speak with Erikku for bit and then he can join you all later." He waved them off as well as the staff attending the group too. As the man steered Iyasu down a walkway that was clearly well landscaped. He was curious about many thinks but even then, he would still have to wait until Midoriya was here so the tests can begin.

They continued for a little bit until he was able to break the silence with a question, "Mr. Yaoyorozu, I understand the need for secrecy but is this truly necessary for the young man?" He stated plaining hoping that this would open up somethings for him.

"Indeed, I have you heard the theory of the Primordial Quirk?" Iyasu nodded in agreement as they continued to walk to a smaller, modern looking building facing the ocean. "Good, if you have been reviewing the young lad's medical data and history then you should start to believe as I do, he has a Primordial Quirk." Iyasu paused at those words, what did he mean by has? The theory says in it that there was a Primordial Quirk, the key word of was. So why was the elder man speaking in the present tense about it?

"Excuse me sir, but how does a theory about an ancient quirk pertain to Midoriya?" He had to believe the elder Yaoyorozu had more information than he did at the moment. It was silent until they entered the small building to see just a simple large room with desk and a few chairs. Sarubatore turned to face him again once the doors were shut.

"I believe he has a Primordial Quirk, from what I have gathered I'm sure he does and it is causing his uniqueness." He plainly stated.

"Hmm … I couldn't say until we gathered extensive research on the young man to make a better conclusion." Iyasu went to ponder a few thoughts, there has to be something he was missing, something very crucial. There was one thing for sure, he had a definite feeling that Sarubatore knew a lot more than he was letting on, and right now all he could do was gather more information on his own. He still did not get a vibe about the man being a villain, it was just a weird feeling right now.

[ A ]

Izuku and Momo were in front of the conference room door, both had nervous looks on their faces. Neither one had really ever been in a lot of trouble with school over the years so they didn't know what to expect. He looked over to Momo who looked a little more nervous than he was, he knew she was never even called in on her behavior so this must be even more nerve racking for her.

He finally was able to push the door open slowly, he nerves were still getting the best of him. He let out a sigh and fully opened it to see Principal Nezu, Mr. Aizawa, Gang Orca, and another man in a suit he has never seen before. They slowly walked in with all eyes on them as they took the seats open in front of them. "Man, this is so intense …" was all he could think at the moment.

They both turned to see the door was opening again to see another familiar face of Detective Tsukauchi who quickly took a seat next to the principal. They both had a down cast look on their faces as they focused forward with no real target. Izuku was starting to clench his pants in anticipation of what the teachers and others had to say. Their career as heroes could be on the line right now.

Finally, after a few moments of awkward silence there was a voice that broke through the room, "Relax … neither of you are in trouble … yet …" It was Mr. Aizawa and his voice had a hint of irritation behind it. "First thing, is about the villain attack involving you two and Iida." They both let out a sigh of relief.

"Yes, we would like more details on the incident, if you two would be able to …" Tsukauchi spoke in a very calm and professional manner. "Young lady, may I hear from you first? And I do have to record this if you are alright with that. It is solely for evidence against your attacker." His voice was resonating with years of experience and comforting victims.

Momo quickly spoke up, though her voice was soft as she was pulling the memory of the attack to the front of her mind, "It was Minoru Mineta who attacked us, but at first it was hard to tell who he was. He wore all black and had a white mask with a purple marking." She paused a bit to look forward a bit. "His quirk had more abilities than what was listed and known, he is able to clone himself from his hair."

"Did he mention anything about an organization, The Brotherhood?" Tsukauchi asked once she was done.

"He didn't but he did say something about a guy named "Father" and that he needed me alive, but then Iida and Midoriya showed up." She swallowed as the memory of Izuku slamming Mineta down onto the ground rushed into her mind. "It was a quick fight, but at the end who we thought was him was just his clone."

"It's okay, you did well. We have Iida's statement and he was very thorough in his statement. Thank you, Mrs. Yaoyorozu …" He continued to take notes for the file.

"You don't have to worry about Mineta at the moment. It seems everything in his dorm room is gone and there is no one at his listed address in the school's files." Aizawa clarified for the two teens.

"Yes, and we already formally expelled him and took him out of the school's data base. We will increase security and change many of the things we will do for the better." Nezu calming spoke as he placed his tea down. "With that being said, Midoriya …" Nezu looked right at the teen, Izuku stiffened immediately at the attention. "We have something more serious to discuss with you, do you with for Yaoyorozu to be here or would you like some privacy?"

Without any hesitation he spoke, "No, I want her here, if you have anything to tell me …" He looked over the group sitting around them, "I will tell her. So, it's fine if she is here." Momo turned to look at him, and couldn't help but to let a smile softly appear on her lips. She wanted to reach out and grab his hand so badly, but it would have to wait until later.

"Very well, Midoriya you will not be attending U.A. anymore …" Aizawa's voice was lingering in the air causing both teens to be flushed with both fear and anger, but neither left their seats. "Midoriya you will be a pro hero starting today …" His teacher gave his trademark smirk.

"Wait! What?" Both Momo and Izuku yelled out in unison. It was definitely a twist in what they were expecting.

"It is exactly as Mr. Aizawa said, sorry my name is Hoto Chitsujo, one of the senior officers at the Hero Commission." He took in a deep breath, "We believe you are more than ready Midoriya, in addition the school agrees as well. Your academics are ahead of the class." He got up from his seat to walk over to Midoriya. He pulled out what looked like a Formal Hero License. "This is for you, and you will be under Gang Orca's Agency, that is if you accept his offer."

Izuku looked over to the pro hero who hasn't said much the whole time but had an eye on him. He looked over to Momo, she wasn't showing any signs of worry at the moment either. It seemed everyone was waiting on his response. He should do it, but was he ready? He didn't think so yet, he was just climbing back out of a deep hole. He looked up at the man in front of him and took the license. "I will, I accept."

"Great to hear pup. After training you will be a pro." Gang Orca rose from his seat to walk over to Midoriya to offer his hand in a formal shake on the agreement. Izuku offered his hand as well with a nervous smile. "Good I will be waiting for you tomorrow at the airport 7am sharp, be there …"

"Y-Yes sir…" Was all he could muster at the moment. He quickly sat back down. Too much emotions were going on in him right now. Was he supposed to be excited and happy, or was he supposed to nervous and reject it? It was a little intense for him. He felt he hasn't worked hard enough for it.

"Do you need any help cleaning out your dorm room Midoriya?" Aizawa asked in a bit of a softer tone. Giving a bit of surprise look on both the teens' faces. But he had a sincere look on his face when he said it.

"Ah … no sir … most of what I had is already packed up for the six months. I should be fine with the rest. Thank you, sir." Izuku scratched the back of his head. He was speaking the truth, he didn't have much in there. Once All Might passed and the wave of depression, he had most of last year he cleared most of it out to begin with.

"Whatever, kid …" Aizawa waved him off as he exited the room. It was definitely going to be an interesting next semester for everyone.

[ A ]

Sarubatore was sitting in his private office staring out the window. He knew they were on the move, but how could he say any more without dragging his family into this. But he already involved them, he didn't think he was going to get so attached to the concepts of a family. Sometimes he cursed his choice in life and he could never forget that day.

{Flashback}

They have been trying for the better part of a decade to conceive a child. Nothing seemed to be working and despite all of their wealth a child of their own was just out of reach. He fell back into his office chair, coming back to work after another failed fertility treatment session with his wife. She was getting harder and harder to console after each failed attempt.

He looked on his desk to see a folded piece of paper he was sure wasn't there earlier. One of his employees must have left it for him. Opening it he saw just a telephone number and a brief message. "We can help you, call this number." At first, he didn't know what to think of it, after all it wasn't a secret to his staff about him and his wife trying to have children. He turned to the window to look out upon the city. He was at the end of his rope, he wanted to do something, anything to help his wife.

She always had a cheerful demeanor towards her, but lately with every attempt at having children fail he could see some of the sadness enter her. She does her best to push it away, but when he sees her by herself it becomes clear she is feeling the despair of not producing a child for him. He decided that he should call the number at least see what this person has to offer. He would be lying to himself if he wasn't feeling some of the frustration as well. He quickly dialed the number and waited for the response on the other side.

"Hello …"

"Ah … I'm very glad to see you called Mr. Yaoyorozu …" The voice was very deep, almost divine in its tone but also seem to carry a menacing weight to it. He was sure if he should continue, but if he had the ability to grant them a child and wipe away his wife's depression then he will do it no matter the cost.

"Yes … I received your message. You said that you can help, but the message was brief. So, what is it that you can help me with?" He tried to hide his nervousness that he was feeling from just the man's voice on the other side of the line.

"Why I just heard you and your wife's troubles in starting a family. I can help you, however," There was a pause on the line leading into a brief eerie silence. "There is something you need to do for me …"

"And what would that be?" He was curious as what this man had to offer but more so in what he was going to demand of him.

"Meet me at 23:00 at the location I will send you …" The line hung up. He was confused a bit but then his cellphone went off with a notification. He was hesitant to look at it, he also didn't know how he got his private number. Should he meet the guy? The message said to come alone, he wasn't sure about that either.

{Present}

He was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of his secretary walking into his office. She has been working for him for a number of years and always was a reliable and loyal to his family. She knew more about his unique situation the most. "Good morning, Toshiue …"

"Good morning sir, I have your agenda here for today." She placed the stack of files down on his desk with a cup of black tea he usually enjoyed with the morning paperwork.

"Ah, thank you as always …" He took deep breath in as he shuffled the papers. "Toshiue, could you give me a bit of privacy? I need some time to look over everything …" He took a sip of the tea on his desk.

"Yes … as you wish sir …" She quickly exited to leave him to his thoughts again.

{Flashback}

He arrived at the meeting place, alone and a bit worried. It was a good thing he had some mastery of his quirk so he had some way of protecting himself. As he approached the building it was clear that the warehouse was not in use and hasn't been in a long time. He slowly walked into the building, carefully opening the doors. He couldn't see much with the lack of light and for it being so late at night. He clenched his fists as he made his way into the center of the room. There were only a few moments of silence before he heard a voice filling the air.

"Nice to finally meet you Mr. Yaoyorozu …" Suddenly there was a very dim light and he could see the man's face but nothing more than the eyes. The eyes were out of mythology, it was a hard color to describe. He couldn't take his eyes off of him at first. There was a weird sensation he was feeling, like he was a small creature that was trying to flee but knew it was done for.

"I came to see what you have to offer, and to see what it is that you request of me." He placed his hands in his pockets. He could feel his palms getting sweaty from just being in this man's presence. It took him awhile to realize that there was a woman standing next to him. She was about average height and dressed as though she was doctor.

"I know of your desire for a child, and I can help you with that. However, you will have to work for me …" Now that he had a better view with a bit more lit up, he could see the man was quite tall as he was in a sitting position in a large chair dwarfing the woman next to him. "First the child I will give you will also be of great concern for me."

He swallowed to clear his throat, it was hard to speak at the moment. "That sounds like I am being used …" He was quickly cut off by the woman's voice.

"Father is offering you a child that will be endowed with great power, you will take care if this child until the time it's services are needed." Her voice had a very professional tone to it but it also held a certain level of annoyance with him as well. They were attacking him at his weakest, how could he not take their offer?

"If I do this, then why do you need to have me return the favor. Wouldn't raising the child be the favor?" He heard a deep chuckle come from the man.

"My what vigor, but do you really think you can get something without a cost?" The man was staring him down with a stern look in his eyes. "In exchange for the gift of a child, you will become my pride…"

"Become your pride?" He was really confused, he was tempted with agreeing to the terms of this arrangement but at the same time he wanted to flee immediately. But the way they spoke sounded like they were sure they could give him and his wife what they prayed for as well as he was getting the feeling that he was going to be able to refuse him without a huge cost to him.

"Yes, you will receive part of my power …" The voice did not change in its tone.

"Then …" He was still hesitant but he knew he was going to have to accept the offer. "I will accept your …" The man seated before was quickly in a blink of an eye was standing before with a massive figure.

"Excellent!" The voice tone changed and his hand reached over to cover his face. He froze instantly and felt a surge of power coursing into him with immense pain following it. But this was something he was going to do for his wife.

{Present}

He opened his eyes and stares at the reports in front of him. He felt it was coming time for Father to collect on his end. He didn't think his decision all the way through at the time those many years ago. Momo became their pride and joy, his wife was unbelievably happy once she was born. To Anjera it was like she was given a miracle, and as Momo grew up he was so happy to show this young child all the love he could give. He had to protect her, and he knew full well the consequences of betraying Father, but he was going to give up the family had.

[ A ]

He dropped the last box in his home. His dorm room was now officially cleared out. He had an official Hero license; all the necessary paperwork was all taken care of. He turned to head back to the living room. Momo was there, stretching her hands in the air. It was clear she didn't do a whole lot of lifting so helping with bringing some of the lighter boxes up the floors to his home proved to be a bit too much for her. Though, she will never admit her struggles with it.

Her hair and face were glistening with the sweat from helping him move everything, her ponytail was a bit a frayed from wiping the sweat away. Once she opened eyes, she looked right at him with a big smile, even now he could only see her as the most beautiful being in the world. He was too entranced to talk at the moment, all he could do was stare her way.

"Got something on your mind Izu?" She took a few steps closer to him while reaching out her hands. He quickly pulled her in closer to him.

"Well … yeah, a lot on my mind …" He closed his eyes to let out a breath, "Thank you for helping, though you didn't have to, I could have gotten it myself …" She kissed him interrupting his words. She pulled away just as quickly with a giggle escaping her. The salty taste of their lips joining was filling his mouth.

"You're welcome Izuku," She then pinched her noise with a laugh, "You should take a shower first before, "She looked herself over, "I guess I should take a shower too … why don't you go first, I to get my clothes ready first." She went to her back which hand everything she needed. She was always prepared and planned for anything, he was amazed she even had time to grab some of her things while they were packing his.

"Sure, Momo … it won't take me long …" He walked off to his room to toss his shirt into the dirt pile along with his pants. His body was protesting from all the work from moving everything, the warm water will do his muscles some good. Turning on the water and waiting for the shower to get to the right temperature. Took the time to brush his teeth and look himself over in the mirror. He felt like he was getting smaller for some reason. He wasn't working out enough in his mind, though he was sure he wasn't losing any muscle mass but it was hard to say.

The water finally reached the right temperature and he slipped in to let the warm water run over his body. The soft sound of the water was calming and clearing his mind, his body started feel better too. He suddenly felt a sensation of clarity, like he finally found what he was supposed to do. He was going to train as hard as he could, get as strong as he could, keep taking steps forward toward his dream. His journey was a surreal one, he never in a million years would have thought that he would be here with the powers he had, nor did he think a woman would be here with him.

He started to lather a rag with soap. He was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice Momo had gotten in with him. He felt he hands reach around him snapping him out of his trance. He let out a breath as his cheeks reddened a bit from her touch and the hot water running over him. His hair was matted down with all the water half covering his face. He slowly turned around as she pulled the rag and soup out of his hands.

"Relax, let me help you …" He watched as she was looking him over, her eyes were tracing the water as it fell over his muscles and he could see she was becoming flustered too. Even with all they shared, looking at each other's bodies still had an effect on them.

Before she could start, He pulled her close to him, allowing the water to start to cover her as well. He watched as the water flowed down each of her curves. Her skin was too pure to look at, as he ran his hands up her arms to settle on her shoulders. His callous hands ran over her smaller shoulders feeling out each line. He had to lean in and kiss her again, he was starting to feel the pressure in his groin again. He put more passion into the kiss not letting either of them get a breath for a moment.

Once he pulled away, he started kissing down her neck line, "Izuku!" She shuttered under his touch as she called his name. He only stopped to look back into her eyes. She was really pink in the cheeks now. "Lets …" She was stumbling on her words again, she was too focused on him at the moment. "Let's just finish the shower …" He let his hands roam further south fall over her chest, allowing a finger to rub against her nipples. He watched her let out another gasp and let her body rub against his. "Turn around Izu …"

He did as he was told and felt the rag rest against his back as she started to scrub up and down. He let of a bit of a sigh and grabbed the shampoo to start on his air. His heart was racing like it was ready to burst out of his chest. He couldn't believe that this was happening, He used to overhear Kaminari talk about this type of thing before, but to be living it was a little surreal. He let the water rinse out the shampoo and cleaned off his face a bit. He felt her hands grab his waist to gently turn him back around to face her. "Here let me help you …" He smiled as he took the rag out of her hand.

They switched places and started to scrub her shoulders and move downwards paying careful attention to every detail on her body. He looked up at her as he was working his way down. She looked like she was ready for something else other than a shower. He could help but to chuckle, she quickly crossed her arms and started to look away, "W-What's so funny …"

He rose back up to her and pushed her back a little bit to be covered by the stream of water. "Oh … nothing …" He leaned into kiss her again and listened to her breath escape. "We have all day love …" He pulled her into an embrace letting his hands rinse away the leftover suds on her back. The water was starting to go lukewarm after the time they were in there. He turned it off the water as she grabbed the towels, she rested on the sink counter.

They were wiping each other down, she was doing her best to hold it all in at the moment. Izuku figured the rest of the day would be a good day to tease her a bit. Her cheeks were a little red as he wiped the stray beads of water off her. "How about we get something to eat, I'm sure you'll like it." He smiled down to her.

She let out a deep breath from her nose, "Okay …" She puffed out her cheek in her classic pout. but her stomach betrayed her. "Where would you like go … oh wait I know how about Shogun's, plus we can spend some time in the downtown area!" Her bounciness was in full swing all of a sudden and he couldn't help but to join in, it was rather infectious.

"I'm down for that! I never been there before too." His grin flashed on his faced almost like it did the first time he entered U.A. Slowly but surely, he was returning to his old self.

Tsukauchi entered into his office and placed the file case on his desk. He slumped down into his chair, he felt he was no better off than were he started. Getting more information on the Brotherhood is proving frustrating. He still had to wait on approval from his superiors to gain access to the secured files in the archives. He only had one other option and that is to start interrogating captured villains. It was a tough place to go but it was something he could do in the meantime.

He should call the Yaoyorozus in regards to the new information on the case, but it wasn't of any significance really. They knew who was the suspect but they had no leads on the whereabouts of the individual. And to top it off, the suspect was the traitor in the school that they were trying hard to find over the years. Though the League of Villains went a little quiet, still things were beginning to stir in the underground. "Where should I begin, too much of everything is starting to run together …"

He got up and went to the coffee maker on the desk opposite of him. While prepping his coffee his thoughts were everywhere. Was he kept circling back to was that Momo Yaoyorozu was at the center of everything, and by default Izuku Midoriya was there along with them. Each villain seemed to be focused capturing the young lady and not focused on harming her with the exception of the Sosuke Kirainahito.

His eye widened as his mind had an epiphany, they had Kirainahito in custody. He rushed back to his desk rifling through all the paperwork looking for the one file about that particular suspect. Finally grabbing he opened and he couldn't believe how he could have forgotten, he needed to question him again. The sinking feeling that everything was tying together in a very sinister manner was filling his gut.

When He flipped the file open, he quickly got the location of where he was being held for his trial. He was being processed for both his recent crimes as well as a previous case that was still within the statute of limitations. He had to get more information out of the criminal. He didn't before due to just thinking it was just a normal crime of an individual breaking the quirk regulation laws. It was going to be a long day.

[ A ]

The evening was starting to set in, people were starting to clear out and start heading back home from a day of work. Momo was walking beside Izuku, holding his hand. Despite the brisk winter air, she felt the warmth swirl around her. She felt like she could do with a jacket today. He looked like he had fun at the restaurant, she was glad she was able to bring him someplace new.

She kept her eye on him and the more she looked the more she could have sworn he was glowing. She forgot about the world around her, all that mattered was him being next to her. She was going to miss this when he left for his training. She took a step closer to lean into his shoulder taking in his scent again. She couldn't get enough of that unique earth scent of his. She could find him in crowd just by his smell. She stayed focused on looking forward, it was the evening rush with people heading out and those leaving work to go home. Even wearing a full coat, she couldn't hide her figure that well. The glares being sent her way by a few men where a bit much today, but they didn't last long once they got a good look at Izuku beside her.

He was oblivious to everything right now, but she started to notice women did the same to him. Constant side glances and stares, she never noticed that women did that, did she do that to him the past few years? The looks of women towards him was worse than the men looking at her. Kyoka would find this rather amusing but she didn't, and she in turn just held his arm tighter causing he to take notice of her.

When he looked down, he saw he face with an expression that he hasn't really seen before. Her eyes were darting around a bit causing him to see what she was looking at. He started to blush a little once he realized the women around them were looking at them very discretely. "Momo … are you staring back at them?"

She snapped out of it. She looked over to him, she couldn't blame the women for staring him down. His face was developing into strong lines, his eyes were beyond gorgeous, and even with his jacket she could still see some of the definition of his body. She wished he would stop thinking of himself as just another plain guy. He was so much more than that, and to add on to it he has his charming personality, his wiliness to help out other, his kind soul, and his intelligence. She could help to let a giggle and smile come out as she remembered Ashido's rant about how looks and intelligence are hard to find together in one guy.

"A-Ah … well, I wasn't …" She looked away again trying to find the words again, she was too busy being lost in her thoughts. "I guess I was … I don't know how you do it when other men stare at me. When I see other women looking at you it bothers me a little." She felt him chuckle and then it turned into laugh as he couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Well I guess so, I just look at it as you're with me and not them. Besides, I can't really stop them from looking so I just focus on you." He stopped to pull her in for a kiss, it was soft and gentle. She barely felt his lips on hers until she returned the kiss. She swore she could feel everything he was feeling in that one kiss, it was astonishing how soft and yet passionate it was.

She heard some chatter around them as she broke away from him. A new shade of pink filled her face, she couldn't look around anymore. She was too embarrassed at the moment, all she could do was squeeze into his chest hoping the moment pass quickly. She felt him chuckle, the deep vibration pulling her out of her daze a bit. "See now everyone knows we belong to each other …"

"Izuku …" Then she heard a familiar voice call to her pulling her attention away from him. She looked behind her to see her best friend Kyoka as well as Ashido and Hagakure behind her. "Oh hey, Kyoka …" She tried to get out a greeting.

"Hey guys! Want to join us? We are heading downtown for the night!" Ashido's grin was really wide after catching the two of them sharing a moment together. She didn't know if she should say yes, part of her wanted to just be her and Izuku by themselves, but they were also her friends and their classmates. She looked over to Izuku seeing if he would give a response first.

"Sure, we were heading that way already!" He looked over to her, "Is that okay with you Momo?" He was scratching the back of head nervously.

"Sure Izuku! They are our friends." She practically jumped over to Jiro. "Let's go!" It was a little bit of a walk and being with a group for bit wouldn't be too bad. She was going to feel a little bad for abandoning him but then Kaminari and Sero bolted to his side. It looks like he wasn't the only one dragged into this impromptu group.

"Don't worry those guys can keep Midoriya company …" Jiro pointed back smugly with her trademark smirk on her face. "Let's go, we still have a way to go …" Momo just fell into line, it was like a normal day all of a sudden, she couldn't help no to fall into her bouncy routine as well.

"So, what brought you guys together here?" She asked casually, she was actually curious too.

"Oh well, Kaminari and I were just sort of … hanging out and decided to go spend the night at the downtown area …" Jiro was getting a little nervous but didn't want to leave her friend out of the loop.

"Yeah, same here! We just happened to meet along the way." Ashido practically jumping with joy. She truly loved group gatherings.

"Oh, I see, I guess Izuku and I are just following the trend then," She found it adorable that they were unknowingly doing the same thing at the same time. She giggled and looked back to Izuku who looked like he was in full conversation with two guys with him. They locked eyes for a second and she gave him I'm sorry look but still had a smile on her face. He just smiled back.

"So, what where you planning on doing in the downtown area?" Jiro asked her.

"Oh, well … nothing really just walking around and checking the sights…" She really wasn't sure, she just wanted more time with Izuku that was all that was on her mind. She looked over to her friend to see anticipation on their faces.

"You know, we could hit up the amusement park by Dagobah Beach. It's still in the downtown area, what does everyone say?" Hagakure offered to the group.

"That sounds like an awesome idea!" Ashido cheered on. Momo thought that would be a good idea. She has never really been to anything like that before.

"That sounds wonderful, I've never been." Her and all the girls quickly turned to the guys behind them. "What do you say Izuku?" They all paused and looked at each other.

"Yeah that sounds fun! I've never been, let's go!" His arm shot up in the air with a fist. He really was excited to go, but did he not go the amusement park before? Maybe it was just another thing they had in common despite coming from different worlds.

"Wait, Midoriya you've never been?" Kaminari quickly asked with a somewhat baffled look on him.

"W-Well … yeah … Never had my dad around and my mom did her best but it was just something we couldn't afford to do …" His words hit everyone's hearts. He never really talked about his past until now, he never went because he never had the opportunity, while she never went because her parents never took her. Everyone one in the group was a little shocked at his words and a bit of a solemn air filled around them. She grabbed his hand and pulled it toward her.

"Izuku, let's go. It's something we both can try." She smiled as she looked at him. She didn't want any of the dark thoughts about his past to come up, especially since this in the last night they get to share with each other for several months.

"Yeah, let's go Momo." He just smiled as he stepped forward.

"OMG! You two are too much, I'm going to get diabetes from all the sweetness!" Hagakure shouted out. The whole group started walking off. Momo stayed by Izuku's side as she continued chatting with her friends. He was quiet but he wasn't sinking into himself. He was probably just a little nervous about going to place he had never been. Despite everything with Izuku leaving, she was in a state of bliss, she wanted to save every moment tonight.

It was getting late and Sarubatore was still having restless thoughts. He for some reason wanted to relive all the memories he had of his daughter. He was alone in his office as his staff have long retired for the day. He was going to have to tell Anjera everything, Father was going to make his move soon. All the previous attacks were merely just to test the waters. He also knew Father would come for him soon. If he could grab her directly then he will come to him to acquire the child.

His keen intellect knew Father still had some time to claim the creation quirk he had bestowed on his daughter. What Momo has was only half her power, it broken up long before. The destruction part formed into a new quirk and given to his partner. He never met the other man but just judging by the tone of voice he had hear those many years ago it was that of the same man who is Midoriya's biological father, All for One.

His mind flew back to that day, then back to the present. He quickly realized something, the leader of the League of Villains must be the one who bears the other half of the quirk. Yes, his daughter was carrying a broken primordial quirk.

{Flashback}

He was in a room the lady from the first time he met this Father individual. It has been many months since that first meeting and at first, he couldn't believe what had happened. The power he received was tremendous enhancing his own quirk but also giving me some augmented abilities. It was hard to explain at first until his started using his quirk. His quirk wasn't flashy at all, he simply could expand his brain to use its full capacity but with the power of pride in him the changes from his quirk were permanent. Allowing him to continue to increase his already great depth of knowledge.

He looked over to the woman who was busy at the counter completing various tasks all of which he didn't know what she was doing. He didn't know her name either, they always referred to each other as the name tied to the powers they embody. He only ever called the woman by Envy.

"What does Father have planned for this child?" He decided to break the silence in the air. She didn't respond right away, he couldn't tell if she was ignoring him or was taking her time to decided what to tell him. He figured he was not in a position to argue with them, however, the child now growing inside his wife's womb was a human baby, wasn't it?

"Why so many questions? We are gifting you with a child and family, what does it matter what the child's purpose is?" She nonchalantly replied without turning around.

"If this child was so important to your plans, why couldn't you carry it to term?" He was quick to ask but had a gut feeling that there was deeper meaning to all of this.

"Because it has to be your wife. The child to put it plainly is an artificial human, designed based off you and your wife's DNA mixed with genome of the Ancients completing the first part of the primordial quirk."

"What the hell are you talking about?" He was really confused now, who the hell are the Ancients?

"The child was given a primordial quirk but only half of it. Father intends for the child to make a very important item in the future for us, and the child has to be tied to this plane of existence to do so …" She finally turned from her work to look him in the eyes. "The reason why I cannot fulfill this role is that I have another role in the grand plan of Father's. We all made a sacrifice for the power bestowed to us, yours is to have a family and know it will be taken away …"

This was not a good idea to get involved with these people, and as soon as the child was born, he was going to start dig up what he can on this Father individual. He owes it to his wife and the new life that will be coming into this world.

{Present}

All he could think was that he was a stupid man, trying to strive for something that may not have ever been intended for him to have to begin with. He found a ton of information on these being the Ancients over the many years. They were the first quirk users in humanity, but it was deeper than that. There was something he was missing over the years, he made sure all of Momo's medical files were kept private and done with a doctor on his payroll. Envy was right, they wrapped into her DNA a strain of Ancient DNA.

Momo was for the most an ordinary human girl with a quirk. When her quirk manifested there was none like it in the history of known quirks. Luckily the quirk commission wrote it off as a unique mutation. He studied the little physical information he had gathered and went everywhere across the earth looking for any sign of these Ancients. However, any historical data he could gather didn't really help that much.

But now there was Midoriya, who had more than half his DNA sharing the many of the same markers as Momo's single strain of Ancient DNA. Once they begin studying the information of the six months training with him. Just the preliminary data they did gather was extraordinary. Izuku Midoriya was half human and half Ancient, and that lead to the conclusion that the man called All for One is a full-fledged Ancient. This is why he immediately scooped up Erikku Iyasu so fast. He couldn't let this get out just yet. Something was being planned around both of these two teens, he may not be strong enough to stop it, but he was damn sure going to protect his family with everything he had.

Tsukauchi reached the Tartarus Prison facility. He was lucky to get a warrant on such quick notice to be able to talk to Kirainahito. He had to keep the questions brief and concise, he was only allotted a certain amount of time with the young man. Despite the quirk suppression drugs and high security measures he is still treated as a high priority threat. He was going to have an escort to the holding cell to ensure nothing happens.

Much of Kirainahito's quirk is still unknown. All they have to go by is that he can overpower an individual's will hence the rape case that is also being held against him. It wasn't a long walk to the holding cell for Kirainahito and once in there only a large glass window separated him from the criminal. As he got closer to the seat, he could see the cold eyes of the villain. To put it frankly he looked pissed.

"Good evening, Sosuke Kirainahito …" He greeted the prisoner.

"What the hell do you want?" Sosuke bellowed out in an annoyed tone. It was clear he was feeling a little slighted.

"Very well, let's get down to business. What is the Brotherhood?" He asked a broad question first. He was met with a moment of silence before the villain decided to respond.

"What do you think it is?" A blunt answer was given.

"Well, from what I could gather, it's been around for quite some time. I was hoping you could fill me in on some of the details. In exchange, I might be able to lessen your sentence." He didn't like using this ploy but maybe offering a carrot will help get this man to talk.

"Hmph … if you know that then you know more than me."

"Then answer this for me, why is Momo Yaoyorozu important to the Brotherhood?" He had to get him to start talking.

"Look, I don't know more than I was told to fetch her and that she is to make something for the Brotherhood. And after it was done, she was going to be all mine …" Sosuke's voice turned a little more malice in it. This guy was really focused on getting to this girl. It was almost like he was mentally driven to get her.

"Why are you so focused on her?" He started to have a look of disgust towards the villain behind the glass.

"Ha! Because I am Greed …"

[ A ]

The night was coming in fast, and Momo was enjoying every minute she was sharing with Izuku. Their friends have left them to be alone to their own devices. They must have tried every ride, done every booth that there was, and they must have tried every single pastry and sweet they could find, well it was mostly her doing the sweets. She looked over to steal a glance at him, despite the darkness of the night it was like he was glowing to her.

She would look his way the whole night, even when the group was divided for a bit, she would still find him and take a few glances of him. Even now she was still stealing a few glances with him next to her. She couldn't even hide her happiness now if she even tried, it was just overflowing from her. He was still munching on their latest find, she couldn't help but to think of a chipmunk as he had his cheek puffed out. A giggle finally let loose from her grabbing his attention.

"What's so funny?" He still had a mouth full as he spoke making it worse as she tried to cover her mouth to prevent it from turning into full on laughter. His confused looked didn't help either. She moved a little closer to him wrapping her arm around his free one.

"You're just too adorable …" She let out a content sigh feeling like this sense of normalcy. It was a beautiful feeling, she just wished this day, this moment could go on forever. They continued to walk a bit more, there wasn't much more to do and it was already starting to get late in the evening. The air was getting a bit cooler as they continued on. She saw all the families around them and couldn't help but to linger on them. Everyone seemed happy together, her cheeks suddenly started to feel a little flushed. A mental image of a miniature Izuku in her arms was quickly brought into her mind.

She looked back to him, she could see a long future with him suddenly. It was a clear as day to her. She just wanted him by her always, it was a strong pulse with in her. She felt even if he was separated from her that she would be able still be connected. "Do you want to do anything else tonight?" She was hoping he would answer in a certain way.

"Well … how about we head back and maybe watch a movie?" He paused in steps as they were exiting the park to look over and see a corner convenience store. "First let me get something to drink first, I don't know how you can eat so much sweet stuff without needing a drink." He stuck out his tongue as if hi pallet was saturated with all the sugar from everything they ate.

"I don't know, I guess it's not so bad for me." She pulled him a long first. Since he said something now, she did want something to drink as well. "But I want to get a few things too." She walked along his left side first but once she saw a group of young men, she suddenly moved to his right side trying to shield herself from their view but It was a little too late. No matter how hard she tried she still gained looks, she was used to it but it was still infuriating. She wasn't even wearing anything that made her stand out, she always dressed as conservatively as possible.

He looked over as she switched sides, despite her being an aspiring hero and all the years of combat training she was still uncomfortable with unwanted gazes. He looked back up to see small crowd of young men across the way, his face flashed an annoyed look to them. He wrapped his arm around her waist and just looked forward smiling.

She was quickly pulled in close to him, she turned a faint flush of pink on her cheeks from the sudden action. She looked over to him to see he was just looking forward and ignoring them as they entered the store. "T-Thank you, Izuku." She felt another warm wave flow through her body, he keeps showing her these small gestures and it was like he was adding to an inner fire she had.

"You don't have to thank me, it bothers me too, but you can't lock someone up for looking. As long as they don't act …" Just as he finished those words, she saw a couple of them walk into the store. She stiffened quickly as she saw them but was trying hard not to show it. She really didn't want a fight to happen right now. She thought maybe they would leave if she stayed glued to Izuku's side. Izuku kept his calm through everything despite knowing as well that the group came in with them.

She made sure he was always behind her, and he seemed to always pick up on her cues without her even saying anything. She had to admire how calm he was, she couldn't help but to let a smile grace her lips as he was acting as her pillar of stability at the moment. Whenever she read those romance novels and mangas over the years she always wondered what that feeling of security was. Today she got a full dose of it, and it was more than what she had ever imagined it would be. She can fully protect herself but knowing he was there doing those little subtle things was just a wonderful warm feeling filling her.

She leaned down to get a drink out of the cooler, "why does the one I want have to be at the bottom?" She looked over the other choices to see if there was something Izuku would like, but there were too many to pick from. "Izuku, which one would you like?"

He reached over her to the top rack to pull a vitamin water out, "This one will do …" She quickly grabbed it from him before he could object to her. He raised an eye brow at her and blinked a few times.

"Let me get this for you … I-Is there anything else you want …" Her words were cut off when he captured her lips with his. She could feel her ears reddening and all she could do was freeze in place. He pulled her into him as close as he could. All she could do was surrender into him and take in the feeling of his lips on hers. When he finally pulled away to let both of them catch a breath, he had that smile on his face that she couldn't ever resist. "Izu …" She took another breath in, "Izuku … you really are … too much …"

"Momo …" He spoke her name with a soft chuckle, "all I need is you tonight." Mental images of him from last night flashed before her eyes and suddenly she felt her cheeks redden all over again. She tried her best to keep her composer, if he keeps going like this she doesn't know if she will hold back. She had to take another breath in and instinctively started to fan herself in effort to cool herself down.

"Izu … can we wait until we get to your home?" She couldn't make eye contact with him anymore. Just looking into his eyes was getting to be too much for her. "I-I … I don't think I need anything else either…"

"Sure, Momo … lets go …" The group of young men were gone, they must have left some time ago. She felt a little better now that there was no one here but the two of them. Once they exited out back into the cold evening air her nerves were getting to her again. She couldn't steer her mind from him and thoughts of his hands all over her. It was going to be a long trip back to his place tonight.
