When Young Midoriya is left with the heart breaking news that he will never develop his own quirk, does he give into despair and chase after heroes? No, he strives to become a hero just like All Might and he knows just what to do to even the odds against those with quirks-he builds it, that's how.

41. Welcome to I-island!

And we are….back! We have left season 2 and its content behind and now we have arrived at the first movie and the beginning of Part 3. Since the movie had a lot going on for it, it will be its arc as I've said in the past. Like seriously, I tried picturing myself being able to place everything that happens into two or three chapters, and man! It was a picture, each chapter would be at least 24K to cover everything….Or at least, that was the plan since this chapter was waaay longer than I thought it'll be, by like 8K words. Good for you guys since it means you get a long chapter but bad for me since I didn't plan this at all! Why does this keep happening?!

Before we do get into it, I want to remind everyone that unless the chapter is called an omake or something, everything that you read is canon to the story and not filler. The second thing I would like to point out is thanks to all my long-time readers, I've notices that some people who drop reviews have been doing so for a while now so thanks for your support. Alright, I've rambled on long enough, let's get into this.

Chapter 40: Welcome to I-island!

(With Tetsutetsu and All Might)

"All Might, yo All Might. I think it's bout time to wake up." Tetsutetsu gently shook All Might awake, getting him out old his dream about his younger days in the states with Dave. At present, the two were sitting alone in the cabin of the pro's private jet. While Tetsutetsu was wearing his school uniform, All Might was in more casual attire.

"Have we arrived yet, young Tetsutetsu?" All Might as he stretched out his hands and yawned. He had been napping for a while now.

"Not yet but check it out," Tetsutetsu said as he pointed out the window, showing him that the island was in sight. "We can see it from here."

"The floating island that can move anywhere, the home of the best and brightest of their respective fields-I-island." Tetsutetsu gushed out as he may have not known a lot about the place but he did know that this was one the best places on earth. "Oh man, I can't believe this will be the first place I get to go to outside of Japan."

"You haven't traveled out of the country before?" All Might asked him with a small smile as he took in the excitement on the boy's face at the thought of them nearly getting there.

"Well no, the furthest from home I've gone was a school field trip t Hokkaido back in middle school. So this is the best place for me to kick off summer break." Tetsutetsu replied as his family had never gone on such vacations before, often they would just visit relatives or go to some resort near where they lived.

"I tend to forget not everyone has been here before but I gotta admit, it's a great sight every time." All Might replied as it had been years since he was last here, even before he was injured, he was often too busy to visit the place.

"About that, are you sure about this? I mean, you could have brought a girlfriend or something." Tetsutetsu asked as that had come to mind when he was packing for this trip. Sure All Might said it was also for his benefit but they should have been someone else he would have wanted to take with him, he didn't know much but he figured that the number one had someone special in his life, right?

"Don't even think twice about it. The invite said I could bring anyone I like and who better than the young man who will succeed me one day? The two of us will forever share the bound of One for All." All Might reminded him of that fact before he chuckled as he pointed to himself. "Besides, I'm single."

"No shit, you don't have a girlfriend…..boyfriend?" Tetsutetsu asked, surprised that the number one wasn't in some sort of relationship. He added in the last part since he wasn't one to judge, love was love.

"Don't even go there!" All Might yelled at him as some blood was let loose from his mouth. "And no, I've been putting work ahead of such things, besides," He started as he took out a tissue to wipe away the blood from his lips.

"Kinda hard to date when you look like this, most women would only be interested in the muscles and the fact I'm the number one, a form that is only around 2 hours a day." That was the bummer on that. Even when he accepted that he had to retire soon, he was a shell of what he used to be, he had to deal with the stares enough in public, people thinking he was on drugs so something. Hell, he tried online dating in his civilian form, and….well, it didn't end well, let's keep it at that.

"Come on, there has to be someone out there, what about Midnight-sensei?" Tetsutetsu asked the try and cheer him up seeing how he was the one that brought up relationships. Midnight-sensei didn't seem like the type to judge him for that.

"Besides the fact we're co-workers and that breaks work-room etiquette, we don't like each other like that." All Might deadpanned as that was obvious from day 1, besides, she made it clear that while she respected him and admired him for his work and achievements over the years, he was too old for her. He also stated that he wasn't looking to date a fellow staff member.

"Oh, right. That makes sense. Still, though, I forget that you make serious bank as a hero, never thought I'll fly in a private jet." Okay, that wasn't working so he did was he saw Kendo do at times, change the subject as he directed the conversation towards the fact there were in a private jet. He nearly fainted when he had seen it at the small airport that All Might had told him to go to.

"Yes well, I don't use most of the money so I give it to charity. I keep a sizeable portion for myself as a retirement plan and for living expenses but that's around about it." All Might replied as people tended to forget that he made more money than Hawks, Jeanist, and Endeavor. Only while they projected their wealth in some shape or form, All Might lived a rather humble if not comfortable life. He had a spacious condo with trendy furniture but not much else. No expensive yachts, no sports car, and only the one jet that he bought 10 years prior for international business. If he wanted to go on vacation, he'll fly using public transport.

"Attention passengers, the plan will soon begin its descent to I-island. Please take your seats, buckle up and enjoy the last moments of the ride, thank you." They both heard the intercom go off as the pilots informed them that they were coming into land soon. Hearing this, All Might got up from his chair to get ready.

"This is going to be exhausting but," All Might started as he began to bulk up. "Once we're landed and go out in public." At this point, he was nearly at his full hero form with the deeper voice to prove it.

"I must maintain my muscle form constantly." He finished off as he pulled off his casual clothing to reveal that he had his hero costume underneath. Though he was distracted when Tetsutetsu started to laugh. "Hmm, what's so funny?"

"Nothing it just, you don't seem to fit in your jet in muscle form. Did you not take that into account when buying it?" Tetsutetsu pointed out as the guy was so huge that he couldn't even stand straight in the cabin and had to crouch. All Might looked at himself and saw that he was right and laughed long with him.

"No, I did not. The dealership I got this plane from didn't have anything larger." He admitted as he didn't think he'll about that, lucky for him he didn't need to travel of often. "By the way, isn't it time you go on and change as well? You did ask UA if you could bring along your hero costume, right?" He asked as the boy nodded his head before he got up and reached for the overhead bin.

"Yes!" Tetsutetsu replied as he pulled down his bag and rushed off to the restroom to change before they landed.

(Later – I-island Airport)

"We will now begin the immigration process. For your safety and \ the safety of others, please comply with all instructions handed down. We hope you enjoy your stay on I-island." The kind, calm, and a well-done sounding pre-recorded voice announced as the two entered the security area of the airport. Seeing how the entire island was dedicated to the latest advancements, they didn't even need to fish out IDs, the multiple cameras and scanners around them were easily able to identify them and search their records for any red flags, of which there was none.

"Let's test your trivia, young Tetsutetsu. Why was this artificial island created in the first place?" All Might asked his young successor.

"I know this one," Tetsutetsu started as he tried to recall what he had learned about this place before leaving. "It was created as a place the world's best and brightest scientist could gather and research into quirks and developing the best support gear imaginable."

"But why does it move?" All Might nodded his head at that, the boy was right but something was lacking from his answer.

"So it isn't considered part of one country or something, like the UN?" Tetsutetsu guessed as he knew that no one country could take ownership of the island, not even the big players like China or the US. Sure they had influence but not much else.

"That's part of it. It was done to protect the research, researchers, and their families. Most of the scientists here live and work on the island with their loved ones, so it isn't all eggheads." All Might explained to him as he knew for a fact that the island was its city. Though there was a set limit on residence due to how long and expensive it was to enlarge the island itself so living here was extremely expensive, property-wise.

"It also as a security system that's good, right?" Tetsutetsu asked as he had heard that part from Midoriya when he called the guy up and asked what he knew about I-island.

"Yes, the one that makes use of is of the level of the Tartarus prison back home so crime is non-existent here, but don't be neglectful with your stuff, young Tetsutetsu." All Might reminded him as the island had a crime rate lower than just about all the countries in the world. At that same time, the two of them were cleared by the security to continue.

"Immigration process is now complete. The island is currently holding the pre-opening of I-Expo, an event that showcasing the research and development projects that both our teams and invited researchers have been working on. Only those with an invitation may attend the pre-opening, thank you." The intercom announced as they were allowed to enter the airport terminal properly as they made their way towards the exit.

And what a sight it was. All around them, the colors, the buildings, and attractions. It made this place seem like something out of Harry Potter with a dash of MLP coloring. The well-maintained gardens, the fully in bloom flower beds, the exotic and creative rides and sights to see. It was amazing….all of it was simply astounding.

"This place is…." Tetsutetsu didn't have words to describe it. He searched up pictures and knew this place was the bomb but man, you ever said a picture could tell a thousand words was right because this place needed a million words to describe it all. "So cool."

"I can't believe so many are already here, the expo isn't even open to the public yet." All Might noted as he could see so many people, many of them tourists walking about and having fun.

"Maybe that's because the pictures of this place have nothing on the real thing." Tetsutetsu suggested as he looked to the side where a massive water feature was. The actual design made it appear that the jets were made out of the water and when the water was shot out the top, it was somehow bent and shaped to someone's will to spell out 'Welcome to I-island'.

"Unlike back home, people are allowed to use their quirks however they wish on the island, so be prepared for some once in a lifetime sights and experiences my boy." All Might told him and to prove his point, he gestured towards a man dressed as a music conductor. As the choir played their instruments, he used his quirk to materialize actual musical notes of all sizes and colors. Each of them floating into the sky. "The pavilions are jammed back with demonstrations, make some time for them later."

"I will, oh dammit, why didn't I listen to mom and bring the camera?" Tetsutetsu cried to himself as he recalled how his mother insisted he get pictures using the clunky old camera his dad got years ago. He told her no and said he could use his phone but dammit, there was no way his phone had a good enough camera for this.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you can pick up some great souvenirs before we have to leave." All Might laughed as he enjoyed watched the boy panic but soon he calmed down and the two entered the island proper, walking down the stairs that led to the airport.

"It's been a while since I was last here but I think that the hotel shouldn't be too far from here." All Might thought to himself as he looked down at the slip he printed out that had their hotel's information on it. At that same time, one of the stewardesses approached the two to give them a greeting and offer a possible tour.

"Welcome to I-expo," The woman started but once she got close, she immediately recognized who she was talking to. "Is that you, All Might?" She screamed out in shock and joy. That proved to be the call as now everyone turned away from what there were doing to see if she was right and to their visible amazement, they saw the number one, there in person!

"He's here?"

"Really?"

"The number one hero?"

"We need an interview!" It only got worse when a camera crew saw this and ran to try and speak with him as well.

"Let's get a picture." Soon, the man was crowded by a mob of his adoring fans, news reporters, and island staff. Use to this kinda thing, All Might only laughed it all off as Tetsutetsu found himself being pushed and shoved around as he tried to keep his position.

"Thanks so much for the warm welcome, form a line for autographs please! People, people? Please, why don't we dumb it down a few?" All Might called out to try and establish some order before things got messy. He remembered the fan meet and greets, they could turn ugly real fast.

(Later)

"Oh wow, I didn't think I'll get stopped for so long." All Might laughed to himself after he and Tetsutetsu had been able to get away from the mob and find a quiet place to regroup.

"You mean to tell me you didn't think people would be excited to see the number one?" Tetsutetsu asked him as he took in large lung fulls of air seeing how they had to run all the way here and All Might was fast as hell, even with the guy holding back so he could keep up, he still found it challenging to do so.

"Well, I don't go out as All Might a lot these days so these things tend to slip my mind." All Might replied as he wiped away all the lipstick kisses on his face and neck that he got from the more zealous fans, lucky for him, they were all female as he didn't have anything against homosexuals but it was firm in his stance that he was straight. "Anyway, we should pick up the slack since, at this point, we're in terrible danger of being late."

"Late? For what? The pre-opening doesn't begin until evening." Tetsutetsu asked him as the only thing he could think of on their to-do list was getting checked in at their hotel and maybe exploring the place a bit.

"Oh, I wanted to drop in on a dear old pal of mine I haven't seen in a while. Would you like to come along?" All Might asked him, as All Might hadn't told him everything, Tetsutetsu's friend jumped at the chance to meet people that All Might called his friends.

"I get to meet one of your friends? Awesome!" Tetsutetsu responded as he gave the man a firm nod of his head.

"By the way, try not to be so open about One for All and the fact that I've passed the power down to you." All Might bent down and whispered that last part to him. They maybe appear to be alone but you never know.

"You mean they don't know?" Tetsutetsu asked him. That was surprising, he figured the guy would tell some people outside Recovery Girl and Nezu.

"Oh they know, but it wouldn't be smart to talk about such a thing in an open space." All Might explained to him as he had told the Shields everything about his power, the cause of the injury, and the fact that he was running out of time to be All Might.

"Oh, right." Tetsutetsu responded, promising both his mentor and himself that he won't let this great secret slip out. He would have said something else but the two of them started hearing something or someone approaching.

"What the…?" Tetsutetsu asked as he and All Might looked up towards some stairs leading down to their position. Every second or two, they saw someone approaching them but they are coming in and out of view as if they were jumping in the distance. "Is that a pogo stick?" he asked as he didn't recognize the girl but when she got close enough, All Might smiled as he sure did.

"Ha, here she comes now." All Might said as they both now saw the young blonde coming right towards them.

"There you are, uncle! Welcome!" The girl called out as she cleared the stairs in a single jump and came flying towards them. Now, normally, this would rise some concern as she could easily hurt herself with that stunt but All Might present, he easily caught her in his arms and spun her around while she hugged his neck. "Uncle Might!"

"Hahahaha! It's good to see you, Mellissa, it's been some time." All Might said as he placed her back onto the ground, though he kept his hands around her as he gave her his hug. Tetsutetsu was confused, who was this girl and why was she calling him uncle might? Was she his niece or something?

"You got that right, it's been forever since we last saw each other face to face." The girl said as she smiled up to the guy.

"I'm truly grateful for the invitation. I almost didn't recognize you as you came up, when did you go and get so grown up?" All Might asked her as he didn't know who she was until she got close.

"Well, I am 17 after all, much heavier than the last time you saw me." She laughed it off, revealing not just her age but the fact that it had been so long since she and All Might last saw each other that he most likely still had the image of a pre-puberty version of her.

"Are you, I can hardly feel the difference." All Might countered as he easily lifted and started throwing her up and down, making her laugh as well as she mockingly struggled to get out of his grasp.

"Of course you wouldn't, you can bench a bus full of people, no sweat." She replied as the guy had monstrous levels of super-strength, if even minor strength quirks could allow someone to pick up another average person, All Might could probably lift her with just one finger. "Any who, glad to see you're doing all." She said as he finally placed her down for real.

'You mean this is All Might's old friend? She just said she's 17. Did they meet when she was a child or something?' Tetsutetsu thought to himself as he hadn't removed the whole family thing. They did share blonde hair, though hers was a shade or two lighter, and the blue eyes, which once more, weren't as bright but still had an aspect of kindness and warmth to them. All Might already said he didn't have a girlfriend and he doubted that he was married, was she related to him via a sibling or something? He hadn't asked All Might if he was an only child like he was so it was possible.

"Oh and Dave, where's he's hiding?" Meanwhile, back with the two blondes, they continued to chat as they caught up with one another.

"Oh you know him, he's busy in his lab, like always. He had a breakthrough in some research he had been looking into for years." The unnamed girl replied as she gave away info that she was connected to Dave, All Might's friend.

"It must have been quite the head-scratcher if it took Dave that long, I swear, the longest I have ever seen him take to finish a crossword was five minutes!" All Might laughed as he hadn't known a challenge of the mind that his old friend couldn't solve.

"Well, my father is always working and looking to learn more, I bet a crossword wouldn't even be a challenge to him anymore." The girl laughed along with him before she calmed herself down but she still had a smile on her face. "He doesn't know you're here right now, this is just a surprise to celebrate his work." She told him as she gave him a little wink.

"Ha, so that's what this is all about. So give me the scoop, that is he has been working on?" All Might asked as he hadn't heard anything from Dave and his projects in a long while.

"Not much, only that it's confidential and was important as he put a pin in all his other projects, he hasn't me a thing about it." The girl responded as she hadn't been privy to the details.

"Scientist and their secrets." All Might sighed with a smile as he had dealt with this in the past, Dave shoving him and others out of his lab so he could finish some surprise projects without anyone being the wiser.

"Excuse me, but is anyone going to fill me in on what you two are talking about?" Tetsutetsu finally asked as he had no clue as to who and what they were talking about. Who was Dave? This girl seemed to be his daughter but that was all he could pick up from the discussion.

"Oh, where are my manners? Young Tetsutetsu, allow me to introduce you to my friend Dave's daughter." All Might said as he stepped aside and allowed the girl to walk forward to greet his successor.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Mellissa Shield." The introduced Mellissa stated with a bright smile as she reached out a hand.

"Okay, that makes more sense now." Tetsutetsu said as he at least now knew that this Dave wasn't a sibling to All Might.

"Hmm? What was that?" Mellissa asked, still keeping up the accented Japanese she had been speaking the whole time, and good thing to since he didn't know how to communicate in English.

"Oh nothing major, I'm Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, first-year hero student at UA High." Tetsutetsu waved off his little verbal slip as he reached for her hand and gave her a firm handshake, impressed that her grip was stronger than he expected it to be.

"Your name is the same as your last name?" Mellissa asked him, apparently confused by this.

"They're spelled differently in Kanji alright, it's a homophone thing." Tetsutetsu hated it when people brought that up, did he have to carry around a sheet of paper with his name spelled out in kanji so people can see that? He would have continued that train of thought but he was caught off guard when Mellissa started chuckling to herself.

"Sorry about that, but I wanted to see it for myself." Mellissa apologized as she stopped chuckling and let go of his hand.

"See what?" Tetsutetsu asked her, was she a tease like Tokage or annoying like Monoma was most of the time? Why else would she do something like this?

"Your reaction to your name thing. I've heard about you already from a friend." Mellissa revealed as she had known about him and a few others from the UA hero course for quite some time now. She even remembered his performance during the sports festival. He didn't get all that far but he was still impressive.

"You have a friend that knows about me? Who?" Tetsutetsu asked her, this was new. He didn't think anyone in his class had ties to I-island.

"Here's a hint, he hit you over the head with a hammer after giving you a Suplex." Mellissa told him, grinding his mind to a halt as he thought back to the only person who had done that.

"Midoriya?!" Tetsutetsu asked her, how in the heck did that guy know her? Why was it that every time he thought he had the guy figured out, this kind of stuff happened?

"Yeah, we've known each other for years now. He's kinda like my father's favorite student." Mellissa said, which was kind of an understatement as Izuku was like a little brother to her, the son that her father didn't know he wanted. Now, granted she knew he loved her but she could see that he had taken a real shining to the boy, more so than any of his previous students.

"That….." Tetsutetsu paused with a hand up, a finger raised before he started thinking about it. "Explains a lot, I was wondering where the heck he learned to build half the gear he has." He always did wonder how the guy got so good at making all that stuff.

"Well it wasn't like he didn't have the ideas, he just needed help getting there is all, some of his gear was made with materials I developed actually." Mellissa added in since even before he was taken under her father's wing, the boy had talent, ideas, and the dedication to see them through.

"You're a researcher already?" Tetsutetsu asked her, she seemed a little young but with what he saw during the sports festival, he was in no room to judge, especially since she was older than him.

"Not even, I'm a student at the I-island academy, support is my passion so I give Izuku some of my stuff so that he can make the most of it and advertise them." She replied to him, revealing that she was smarter than he thought since the academy here was rumored to be the best support school in the world. Only the best of the best got in and even then, not everyone passed due to its UA level learning curve and extreme exams.

"Since you're here with uncle might," Mellissa started as she got him closer to him, getting a mild blush as a very pretty, older girl was whispering to him. "Can I assume you're his successor?" Okay, that put a pause on the exotic and rather teenage boy thoughts he was having.

"Y-yes I am. I hope to live up to his legacy." Tetsutetsu said to her as he worked away from the blush, he wasn't expecting her to know but All Might must trust her, so he'll trust her.

"Don't be ridiculous my boy, I'm sure that you'll become better than I when you grow up, UA is all about pushing the boundaries after all." All Might spoke up as he gave the lad a 'pat' on the back that nearly sent him face-first into the ground.

"So, your quirk is that metal thing, right?" Mellissa asked him, having not heard any details from Izuku in their phone calls.

"You got that right, my quirk is steel. You can get the rest from the name." Tetsutetsu said as he activated his quirk and let him flow over his entire body.

"Yep, durability and increased strength, right?" Mellissa asked him as she started walking around him, inspecting both his quirk and his costume.

"Also temperature, but we're not too sure how the….upgrade will affect me quirk, hadn't had the time to test that out." He replied as he and All Might figure that his quirk might get a boost from OFA but they didn't know what kind and how large a boost.

"Well, we certainly have a couple of facilities where we can find out." Mellissa started before she started muttering to herself, not unlike someone else he knew as she looked over his costume and gear. "The costume is cool and all, I can see the reason for the lack of protection. It's simplistic but ragged, fitting. I don't see any support items, might have to fix that down the line."

'Wow, she and Midoriya have the same kind of mindset to hero costumes. But why does she refer to him by his given na-of never mind, she's not Asian so of course she refers to people by their names and not family names though I am not able to tell with my name unless it's in writing.' Tetsutetsu thought to himself as he watched as the ideas practically flowed in her mind. Were all scientists/geniuses like this? He didn't know all that much about Hatsume but he did know that she was rather eccentric just from the rumors going around the school.

"Come now, Mellissa. You have plenty of time looking his gear over later." All Might, seeing that they would be here a while if he didn't step in, spoke up before the girl lost herself to her thoughts.

"Oh sorry about that! I get invested in hero gear and support items sometimes that I zone out." Mellissa jumped up with a mad blush on her face, clearly embarrassed that she did that. Something he figured wouldn't happen with the other two gear heads he knew. One was too oblivious of social norms and the other didn't seem to care most of the time.

"No problem, no harm no foul right?" Tetsutetsu waved it off since it wasn't a big deal, people got passionate about what they loved and he respected that, he was passionate too!

"If we hurry, we can surprise papa in his lab." Mellissa started as she moved to the large red pogo-stick she had left to the side and with a simple push of a button, the damn thing shrunk down to the size of a wristband which she placed in her pocket. "This way, the lab's this way!" She called out to them as she started running off, presumable towards this lab she was talking about.

"Are you going to ignore the fact that that pogo-stick shrunk down to something so tiny she could hold it in one hand?" Tetsutetsu asked his teacher.

"Trust me, my boy." All Might started as the two chased after her. "You haven't seen anything yet."

(Back at the airport terminal exit)

"As planned, we infiltrated the expo without a problem. So, when do the good arrive?" Meanwhile, back at the airport terminal, a group of men had just been cleared of the security and one of them was taking a call.

"3.30pm, you'll find them at gate 62."The scrambled and distorted voice on the other end replied.

"Then we're be waiting." The man responded before he hung up and he and the group descended the stairs into the island.

(Later – I-island Central Tower)

SLIDE

"Excuse me, professor." Someone spoke up as we find ourselves in a large, empty work space with David Shield as the man was looking at a photo of his daughter and his student in his home. It was rather old, taken just before Mellissa started her first year at the academy but it was one he would cherish. When he was called out, David looked up and saw that his assistant was the one to call out to him from the door.

"I've finished putting the equipment away, just so you know." Sam informed him as they have needed to clear some space for a while now.

"Already? Thanks so much, Sam." David said as he turned his phone screen off and placed in into his pocket as the two men left the space alone to enter an office area.

"Why don't you get out of the lab today and go have some lunch with Mellissa?" Sam asked of his boss and friend.

"She's busy today, at the academy." David replied as his daughter had been quite the busy bee lately.

"Oh, I thought they're on break for I-expo?" Sam asked, somewhat surprised as he was lead to believe that all classes had been postponed so students and staff could enjoy themselves at the festival.

"Yes, but she's been doing independent research." David responded as his little girl had been hard at work on her side project for a while now. He didn't really like it but she was her person, so he had to live with it.

"You know me, for better or worse, I am my father's daughter." Speak of the devil and she will appear, standing right in the doorway into the office, Mellissa stood facing them as she caught that last statement as she opened the door.

"Oh, Mellissa, it's good to see you." Sam said as the girl walked into the room, closer to the two.

"Aw, right back at you Sam. Thanks again for always taking care of papa since he does nothing but work here constantly, sometimes I worry if he eats and sleeps." Mellissa joked to them as Sam chuckled while David looked a bit embarrassed by that.

"Come on, I'm not that bad, right?" David asked the two, he knew he was a hard worker but he didn't think he was that dedicated.

"Your right, you're worse." Sam added in as the two shared a laugh at the man's expense.

"All right, all right, you two had your laugh." David said to reign them in from their fun. "So what do we owe the pleasure? I thought you were working today."

"Oh, you're seeing. Since you completed the first stage of your research, I invited someone here to celebrate with us." Mellissa replied to him, catching his interest.

"Who could that be? My parents?" He asked as it had been a while since he spoke to them, did they fly in to visit?

"Oh no, someone even better. A person you dearly love." Mellissa said as she turned to the door where that person was.

"Yes, I am here! Shaking with emotion for our heartfelt reunion!" All Might called out as he entered the room the only way he knew how.

"Toshi-All Might?!" David caught himself before he said his full name but he was still shocked out of his mind, Sam even more so as you could make out his eyes with how wide there were.

"Is…is it really you?" Sam asked, having never seen the man in person himself. The odds of him just being here was so low that this was truly a surprise.

"Hahahaha! I came all this way just to see you Dave, old pal." With All Might, he didn't seem to worry too much about his surprise appearance so much so as he rushed his old friend and gave him a giant hug. David was in such a state of shock that when he was put down, he fell onto his butt.

"Well papa, are you totally surprised to see him?" Mellissa asked as she got right on back into his field of vision, smiling all the while that her surprise had worked out better than she expected.

"Ah…..Yeah…" David found his words again as he smiled at him, happy for his wonderful present from his daughter. "Completely flabbergasted."

"We both have Mellissa to thank for that," All Might said as helped the guy back up to his feet. "Man, how long has it been since we last met, face to face?"

"Come on, man, don't make me say it. I already feel old enough." David shot back as he knocked the guy in the chest, though he knew that he barely even felt it.

"Haha! You do have a point." All Might laughed at that as the two, while certainly no longer spring chickens, did still have some fight left in them.

"Truly, it warms my heart to see you again, my friend." All Might said softer but happy about this moment.

"Agreed, I've missed you to." David said as he reached out his fist, which All Might pumped with his much larger one, just like the old days.

"Young Tetsutetsu, let me introduce you to someone incredible, David Shield." All Might stepped aside so that his friend could see the silver-haired lad as he walked into the room, barely keeping himself composed in the face of meeting such a giant(not literal) of a man. Even if he didn't make use of support items, you would have lived under a rock for the last 20 plus years to not know this man.

"It's an honor sir, it's real manly that you have come as far as you have. You're like the kind of all support." Tetsutetsu spoke up as he weakly held up his hand for a shake, only for David to laugh it off as he gave the boy a firm handshake.

"I'm flattered but I don't think I'm the king, there are some creative and innovative designers and geniuses out there, after all." David replied to the praise as he worked alongside some creative minds every day. That was what I-island was all about.

"You say that but you single handily have more rewards in science and support items than both 2nd and third place combined. Come on Dave, learn to take a compliment." All Might butted in as he gave his friend a look that said this wasn't the first time he was far too humble, one was allowed the right to bask in their glory.

"Also Mr. Shield?" Tetsutetsu started but David cut him off.

"Please, call me Dave. Mr makes me feel older than I am." David said to him to try and calm the boy's nerves down.

"Oh, Okay. Dave. Is it true that you designed and produced all of All Might's hero costumes?" Tetsutetsu couldn't resist asking but he had wanted to know that for a while now. Who could create costumes that could keep up with the exploits of All Might? And would be need something like that as well?

"Yes, that would be true. From his first up until the one he wears today." David said as he gestured over to the tall hero, as he did this, he picked up on the small cough that All Might let out and the fact that he was standing a bit stiff. Seeing the signs for what they were, he acted on it. "Listen, it's been a while so why don't the two of you give All Might and I some time to catch on with one another?"

"Oh, sure, I can give the two of you the same space." Tetsutetsu, having not picked up on the signs or even noticed them, agreed to the request.

"Mellissa, you can even give him the tour of the place while you're at it, if they're going to be here for the full expo, you guys better start seeing everything now." David turned to his daughter who in turn nodded her head.

"Sure thing, papa." Mellissa replied to him, she could show him around, it'll be fun.

"You mean you're not busy?" Tetsutetsu asked her, not wanting to get in the way of anything.

"Not at all, I'll be honored to show off our hard work to a future hero." Mellissa said as she started walking out of the room. "Right this way." She gestured as she pointed down the hall, the opposite direction that they had gone down.

"I'll follow your lead." Tetsutetsu said and with that, the two teens had left the room, leaving only the men. However, what was about to happen that shouldn't just be seen by anyone.

"Sam?" David spoke up, keeping his voice calm and collected to make sure nothing would sound amiss. "You should take a break too."

(With Mellissa and Tetsutetsu)

"So what should I call you? By your name or do you have a hero name already?" Mellissa asked as the two teens had been walking away from the lab where the adults were for some time now and she just realized that she didn't know his hero name. He was in full gear so she felt like he'll appreciate if she used it rather than his normal name.

"Oh yeah, my hero name is Real Steel." Tetsutetsu responded to her, proud of the hero name he had chosen, even if it was the same name of a pre-quirk movie.

"I like it, short but enough. You can stick with Mellissa with me, though I know something about Japanese culture, I was never really comfortable with people referring to me by my family name." Mellissa told him as it always made her feel older than she was when she was addressed as Ms. Shield or something like that.

"Oh yeah, I was meaning to ask about that. You've been speaking Japanese this whole time. But I thought we're American." Tetsutetsu couldn't help but ask but she hadn't spoken a word of English to him and All Might but has switched to it when she was speaking with her father and his assistant.

"I know English and it is my mother tongue but I also know Japanese, uncle might have been in my life ever since I was young so I started learning when I was 10. I wanted to one day travel to Japan and watch uncle Might work." Mellissa explained to him as she figured he wouldn't just know English and opted to speak with him in his mother tongue instead. To avoid miscommunication.

"Great, am I the only one on here who doesn't know a second language?" Tetsutetsu asked aloud as it seemed that everyone else so far knew the language. It wasn't his fault that he struggled with grammar and pronunciation. Maybe he should ask Tsunotori or Honenuki for English lessons.

"I wouldn't worry about it too much, I can help you get started learning if you want?" Mellissa told him as she knew that learning another language wasn't easy.

"Thank you, maybe now I can have a proper conversation with Tsunotori." Tetsutetsu said as they walked out of the building and out into the crowds again.

"Whose Tsunotori? I friend?" Mellissa asked him, not recalling the name as one of the people Izuku had already told her about.

"Yeah, she's a classmate but she's an exchange student from the states, she knows Japanese….mostly, okay, she knows enough to get around but you would be able to pick her out from a crowd with her accent and somewhat bad Japanese, I don't have another word for it but I don't want to come off as mean either." Tetsutetsu responded as he thought to the exchange student. She is a timid girl, but only because she didn't understand Japanese all that well and hated whenever she made a mistake that could be taken the wrong way.

If you got past that, you would see that she was a thoughtful person and diligent student, having scored the 7th highest in their class in the mid-terms, thought she was a bit naïve and innocent. Something that Monoma had taken advantage of more than once to get her to say rude things about and to members of 1-A. Man. They were lucky that that Todoroki guy was present when he made the mistake of getting her to insult Bakugo some time ago…it would have been very bad if he wasn't.

Kendo is gonna have to up her game to get him to stop that, it's a bad and unmanly habit.

"Don't sweat it, Japanese isn't the easiest language to learn, but I like how she still chose to study in the country, does she have plans to work there as well?" Mellissa said as it spoke to her courage to still decide to study there even though she struggled with the language barrier.

"You know, I don't know. I'll have to ask her the next time we see each other." Tetsutetsu said as he didn't know all that much about her, come to think of it, he didn't know a lot about any of his classmates. That needed to be fixed as soon as possible!

---

(Back with David and All Might)

"Alright, see you two soon." Back in the office, Sam had just closed the door to goof and do whatever. As soon as the two remaining guys heard his footsteps fade away, All Might started coughing like crazy as steam started flowing off his form.

"Toshi." David was at his side in an instant as he held his friend take a knee as he shrunk down from his muscle form back to his crippled, skinny self. "Hey, are you alright, Toshi?"

"Thanks for catching that. The amount of time I can keep my muscle form has decreased even more." All Might, Toshi informed him as it had taken quite the bit of effort just to remain in that form for as long as he did.

"Jesus, you said it was bad in your email but I had no idea it was this serious." David uttered with a cold sweat going down his brow as he helped the man up and lead him towards his private lab where they can talk more freely. "Came on, we gotta dome some scans so we know what you're dealing with."

"Sure…" Toshi agreed with him as she coughed into his hand, trying to catch his breath in his one lung. All while David could only watch him struggle through this.

'I can't believe his quirk was able to give him the strength to last this long but still, it appears that even One for All has its limits,' David thought to himself as a nervous, fear-filled jolt went down his spine. Even with the full story of his friend's quirk and its nature of being passed along from one champion to the next.

'And he's soon reaching it.' He finished that thought as he helped the guy along, hoping that this wasn't a bad omen.

---

(Back with Mellissa and Tetsutetsu)

"Holy cow, this place is amazing. I still can't believe that this was place was made by people." Tetsutetsu said as the duo walked around the place and truly got a sense of how large the island was.

"Added to the fact that this island is for researchers, there is normal city stuff. From libraries, parks, hospitals, and movie theatres, everything you would need or want in an average city." Mellissa informed him as you wouldn't be able to tell you're missing anything if you lived here.

"Though, if I can pick one downside, it's that we can't travel all that often." She added in as that was kinda a bummer.

"Why not?" Tetsutetsu asked her. The island itself could move so why couldn't the people?

"The scientist and their families have to keep their work top secret. That ensures there aren't any leaks and we wouldn't want that." Mellissa explained to them as though people here didn't like it very much, there was a strict and lengthy process to leave and enter the island for a reason.

"No kidding, if villains got their hands on half this stuff," Tetsutetsu said as he thought of all the gear that must be sitting around in workshops and labs. If Stain had better gear, he may have lost two friends that night. "I don't want to think about it." However, before he could continue, they heard something approaching.

"Holy-It's that monster hero himself!" They both turned and saw the monstrous-sized hero approaching but when he got close, he gave the crowd a friendly smile, or as friendly as one with a lizard face could give and a peace sign before he went along.

"Wow, I've only ever seen Godzillo on TV!"

"His quirk is insane!"

"Nice, I bet a sponsor flew him out here for the expo." Mellissa pointed out, not all that awed by the pro's appearance which stood out to Tetsutetsu who had never seen the guy in the flesh before.

"Is that common?" Tetsutetsu asked as he turned and started to make out more pros walking about, speaking with fans, discussing things with each other, etc. he didn't think he had seen this many in one place before.

"Oh yeah, they invite heroes from all over the world to not only sign autographs and hang around the people but to also show off new gear." Mellissa explained to him as they often had hundreds if not thousands of pros from all over the place came for I-expo. Sure that all of them were invited and instead came as tourists would but it was still good for both parties "Looks like events are in full swing, and the expo hasn't even started yet."

"So this place has pros from all over, like Europe, Africa everywhere?" Tetsutetsu asked as that must mean there are a lot of pros present.

"Well, not that everywhere. I'm sure that there are top heroes from most countries present but some simply refuse to attend or can't make it. Endeavor hasn't been to the Expo in the last three years to give an example." Mellissa explained as she had been attending these events with her father since she was 8. It was only this year that I-Expo was being held on the island as the last year's one was held in Peru.

"Oh, I suppose that makes sense, crime never rests and all that." That made sense, villains are still criminals and crime did not sleep, hence why so many underground heroes worked at night when the day-shift pros had gone home to rest and be with friends and family.

"You know, most of the pros will be at the party later tonight, I'm sure it'll be a great time to meet with some of them." Mellissa pointed out as there was always a large reception the night before the opening.

"That would be great! I can't believe I'm going to meet some of the best and manliest pros in the business, this is so exciting I might cry." Tetsutetsu was close to actual tears as he had the chance of a lifetime, how knew if he'll ever get this chance again but he wasn't going to waste it!

"I'm surprised that you didn't know that. Didn't uncle Might tell you?" Mellissa asked with a chuckle as he paused and recalled that All Might had told him to pack some fancy clothes for former events.

'Oh, that's why he told me to pack formal clothes.' He thought to himself before he answered aloud. "I think he did but it must have slipped my mind." For Mellissa, she saw that they had reached somewhere she had wanted to show him.

"Look! Over here!" She gestured towards a large and building across the street. "You have to check this place out."

"What is it?" Tetsutetsu asked the two nonetheless made their way over.

"A showcase hall, they have some great gear on display, come on, let's go see some of them." Mellissa said as she showed to the building.

---

(Later – Inside the showcase)

"Damn, I've never seen so many hero items in one place! And all this was-" Tetsutetsu didn't even get to finish his question as he looked at all the gear, both big and small on display.

"Development and created right here on I-island. Come on, let me show you some of them." Mellissa said as she started showing him to some of her favorite ones.

"This multi-purpose jet can fly like a jet at speeds of 650km/h(403mph) but can also maneuverer underwater at speeds of 50 knots(57mph)." She pointed out as the two of them looked at the model on display and the footage taken of the same model flying at such speeds before diving into the water and still dashing along.

"That's one slick ride!" Tetsutetsu stated as he didn't even imagine why a hero would need that.

"You can wear this diving suit and drop up to 7,000m(7,655 yards) in the ocean." She gestured to a rather alien-looking diving suit but from what the screen said about the water pressure in the tank, he was sure he'll be crushed by it.

"That's deep!"

"And this helmet is equipped with 37 different sensors so you can see around your body." With the last one, there was a line of helmets that people could try on, which she did when she helped him place one on his head before turning it on.

"How do you even fit that many into the helmet?!" Tetsutetsu asked as he found himself overloaded by all this info about his surroundings, it was like he had no blind spot.

"You know, almost everything here was created using different inventions that papa patented." Mellissa stated later on when the two had stopped trying out all the gear and were now just exploring the place.

"And he says he isn't the king of support. Without him, none of this would even be here. You must be proud of him." Tetsutetsu said as he looked around at the sheet number of items, gear, and vehicles, like the robot-looking tank they were standing next to. To think, David helped create all of this.

"These support items will go on to help heroes across the planet. Who knows how many people will be affected by his hard work." Mellissa informed him, sounding proud of everything her father had done in his career.

"You know, in an indirect way. Your dad saves as many people as All Might. All this will help pros to do their jobs and save lives, I think that's super manly that you have someone like that to look up to." Tetsutetsu told her as a compliment he meant, he did. This stuff saved lives, no one can deny that.

"That's because it's my dream to become a scientist like him." Mellissa told him as she turned to face him.

"Oh yeah, you did say that you're a student at I-Island academy, they do have the best support course out there." Tetsutetsu said aloud this time around.

"Hmm, I'm a third-year come the end of summer break, one more year and I'll be a fully-fledged support engineer/scientist." Mellissa told him as she was very proud of the fact she had survived the academy and was set to graduate soon. Though she had worked up extra quite the credit doing side projects.

"Hold up," Tetsutetsu said as it had finally dawned on him where he had seen a similar design. It was in one of his mom's old hard drives. "Was that a robot from RWBY?"

"Yeah, not only hero companies invest into our research here. Rooster teeth paid for a life-size copy of a mecha suit to be built, with all the features and weapons from the show." Mellissa was confused but amused on that one as it didn't happen often but now and then, sponsors commission the weirdest of things just for the sake of it.

"That sounds dangerous." He noted that last he checked, that thing was armed with missiles and gun turrets…he thought, he wasn't paying attention when he watched the show.

"This is rooster teeth, they don't think like the rest of us," Mellissa told him before she decided that they move on before someone tried to start something. "Moving on!"

'She must not want to talk about that.' Tetsutetsu thought to himself before he decided to go along with it as the two of them walked away from that. "To make it in your academy, you have to be some sort of genius, right? I heard they had intense exams."

"Oh no, I still got a lot to learn actually, honestly I should be studying right now." Melissa said back to him as she looked around the place. Sure none of her stuff was on display bit pretty soon, they will all change, especially since there was a special show coming up in a bit.

"I feel the same way, if I'm gonna live up to All Might's expectations, I gotta train harder than ever before." Tetsutetsu said as he tightened his fist. He didn't go to UA to mess around, and now with that, he had been given, he was damn sure he'll give it 110% every day, to live up to the legacy of his predecessors.

"Hey there, Tetsutetsu." Someone spoke up to them out of the blue, the two of them turned to see that Uraraka was waving at them as she approached them. Like himself, she was in her hero costume sans helmet.

"Um? Uraraka? What are you doing here?" Tetsutetsu asked as she walked up. He had gotten closer to her during her time in hospital but he had heard so many plans from her to travel abroad during summer.

"I could ask you the same thing." Uraraka replied as she eyed Mellissa, no doubt wondering why he was with a foreign girl.

"Ahem" And she wasn't alone, at the sound of something coughing into their hand, both he and Mellissa turned to see that Uraraka hadn't come alone and with her were two other members of 1-A.

"Yaoyorozu?" Tetsutetsu wondered aloud as he recalled her a lot from the festival, her team giving him the most trouble.

"You appear to have a good time." Yaoyorozu stated with an almost unimpressed look on her face. Hold up, did she think he was a player? No, he was better than that!

"I heard everything." Jiro added in as her earphone jacks moved about to emphasize the fact she had a much stronger sense of hearing than most. Which meant she did hear everything, oh thank God he didn't say anything too private.

"Wha-is your entire class here or something?" Tetsutetsu asked the three as he looked around the place, expecting to see more of his 'rival' class's members pop out of nowhere but there weren't anymore, at least none he could see.

"Your Ochaco Uraraka, Kyouka Jiro and Momo Yaoyorozu, right?" Mellissa, seeing this as a chance to cool things down before they started asking question, stepped in.

"Oh, well yes, yes we are." Yaoyorozu, caught off guard by the fact that this unknown person knew all their names, turned her attention away from Tetsutetsu and thoughts of him trying to get a date to her.

"How did you know our full names?" Jiro asked her, did Tetsutetsu tell her that? Why?

"The sports festival, remember? All of you were on screen at some point or another." Mellissa reminded them of the event that they kept forgetting, though, with everything they had done afterward and all that had happened to them, the festival felt like an older memory than it was.

"Oh man, I forgot about that." Jiro replied as she felt kinda dumb that that wasn't the first thought that crossed her mind.

"Girls, this is Mellissa Shield. She was showing me around the expo." Tetsutetsu introduced her to the group before he gave both groups some more context. "I didn't know they'll be here but as you already know, we go to UA together, but are in different classes."

"That's right, you're in 1-A, right?" Mellissa asked them, though she already knew that, they didn't need to know that right now.

"Yup, the class that was unlucky enough to be attacked by a bunch of two-bit villains." Jiro replied as it had been a class event when they all heard what had happened to two of their classmates after the festival. Then another incident occurred at the mall when they were just chilling. It was like the villains had a bone to pick with them for God knows why.

"Yeah, that does sound like rotten luck." Mellissa agreed with the thought since having criminals after you didn't sound appealing in the slightest. "I know, why don't we all grab some tea at the café and talk?"

---

(Later)

"Wow, like I already knew that you got to work with real pros out in the field but what was it like? Did you stop crime, fight some villains?" Later, the group had settled for a quick bite at one of the larger cafes on the island. Mellissa herself went there a lot and knew that they had good quality food and service, hence why she led them here.

"I didn't do much, just normal training and few patrols. Nothing big like that happened." Uraraka replied to the praise from the blonde as she hadn't done anything that big. Aside from picking up some martial arts skills and learning about some tips of hero work, she hadn't learned all that much.

"I helped out with a hostage crisis but only the evacuation part of it." Jiro stated as she leaned onto Yaoyorozu. The four of them were seated at the one table under an umbrella shade as Tetsutetsu sat at the one next to it. The guy staying out of the conversation for the most part.

"That's still amazing though, you are helping in real hero work. How did it feel?" Mellissa didn't seem to mind all that much, she just enjoyed hearing their stories of what it was like to work with a pro. She had heard much on Izuku buuuut….he's were mainly training and nearly dying against Stain.

"It wasn't as much of a rush as I thought it'll be, at least at the moment." Jiro replied as it only hit her that she helped save lives when she had gone to bed that day. She was so giddy about it, she hardly slept.

"Somehow I found myself in a commercial for hair care." Yaoyorozu on the other hand hadn't had all that many stories to tell aside from the couple of uneventful patrols she joined in on. But she was still stopped now and then as not just the girl from the sports festival that had rotten luck in terms of her opponent but also the hair-care girl.

"Sounds like you all had quite the experiences." Mellissa replied as she rather enjoyed that little story. She had no idea that the hero world as that complex or the reason why so many were also celebrities away from hero work. Listening to this from his own table, Tetsutetsu watched them as he waited for his own drink to arrive. He didn't know what to expect but it seemed like the girls were getting along just fine.

'They seemed to be hitting off nicely, glad that they didn't ask too many questions.' Tetsutetsu thought to himself as he didn't think they would have bought any excuse he could have given since if he only gave part of the truth, that might have made them even more curious. He couldn't ponder on that anymore when his attention was brought by a waiter.

"Thanks for waiting, here is your order, sir." A blonde waiter told him as his pineapple and apple drink was brought to him.

"Thanks, here's a-wait." Tetsutetsu paused when he recalled that the voice was familiar. True to his assessment, when he looked up to the waiter, he was greeted by a familiar face. "Aren't you-"

"Denki Kaminari. At your service." Kaminari gave him his usual smile as he bowed to the guy. Now unlike the rest of them, he wasn't in costume or casual clothing but instead was dressed up as a waiter. The same uniform as the rest of the staff at the present.

"Oh God, is that Mineta?" Uraraka asked as she and the rest had looked up from their conversation when they heard the name, only to see that right next to him was the class pervert.

"Who else do you know has balls for hair?" Jiro asked the girl.

"The heck are you two doing here?" Tetsutetsu asked the two of them, now convinced that the rest of 1-A was also present.

"They needed extra wait staff and since it meant a free trip to the island, we applied to work here." Kaminari explained to them, which answered the question about their choice of dress.

"We get to explore the expo on our breaks, and we make some money." Mineta further explained their reasoning for coming here before he let loose his true desires. "Also there is a chance that we have passionate encounters with some of the cute-Oh my God I think I'm in love." He changed his tone when his eyes landed on Mellissa. She somehow pulled off the nerd look perfectly, which was something that most would agree on.

"And you two might just lose those jobs if you don't get back to work." However, before they could get up to their usual high jinks, a certain orange-haired martial artist reprimanded them both with her signature neck chop. Not enough to knock them out but enough to get her point across.

"Ow!" Both moaned as they slumped to the floor, behind them, Kendo stood with both hands still out from her attack on them. Like the two boys, she was also wearing the café uniform, only hers were meant for females. It was similar in color scheme and design only having short sleeves, white cloth gloves, and a maid attire-inspired skirt that ended just above her knees. She also wore knee-high white socks to complete the look.

"Kendo, you're here to?" Tetsutetsu asked, happy that he wasn't the only learner of 1-B present, even if this was unexpected.

"Yep, I took the same job applications as these two knuckleheads. Only that I'm in charge of them to make sure they are working," Kendo replied as she pointed down at the two guys on the floor massaging their sore necks. "Like they're supposed to right now."

"Sorry about that, mam. We'll get back to work." Kaminari whined as he and Mineta got back up and went to work cleaning the tables for new customers.

'Well, he certainly wasn't lying. I felt my skin crawl there for a minute.' Mellissa thought to herself as she had felt uncomfortable when Mineta laid eyes on her, almost as if he was undressing her with her eyes.

"Why are you slacking off? You wanted to make more money didn't you?" They heard another familiar and strict voice coming towards them at high speeds. The group turned just in time to see Iida rushing towards them at break-neck speed. "But you're not willing to work hard!"

"The hell!" Both Kaminari and Mineta cried as Iida, decked out in fell hero gear minus helmet, nearly crashed into them, the shock still scared them back down to the floor.

"Iida? You're here too?!" Uraraka asked him, surprised that he had time to attend when he said that he would be hoping to use as much of their summer break to catch with the rest of the class in terms of physical performance. Hearing her question, Iida turned around and responded with his typical robotic arm gestures.

"I came from a long line of heroes, it's to be expected that we received an invitation to the expo." He explained to them why he was present before he calmed down and continued. "But my parents were busy, so only my brother and I are present."

"Where is your brother then?" Jiro asked, knowing that his family was a sensitive subject with him. She couldn't imagine that he was able to keep up with Iida so she guessed he was somewhere else right now.

"He's speaking with some of the scientists, the hope is slim but they think they may be able to restore his lower body locomotion, he may not be able to return to hero work but we'll be able to walk and ran like any other normal person." Iida replied with a small smile as that had been great news for his family. His father had reached out to some old colleagues that had left Japan and asked if they knew anyone that could help. Those old contacts had come through when they said they found someone that may be able to assist them with their case.

"That's wonderful news, I hope it goes well." Yaoyorozu spoke up, happy that it seemed that Ingenium might just make a come-back soon enough. Iida would have a veteran in the field that could help him. "I received an invitation because my mother's a shareholder in some of the expo's sponsor companies. It's so fun to get to go to the preview."

"Yeah, and she had extra tickets, so we gambled for them." Jiro explained to them as she thought back to how funny it was what Ashido lost, Hagakure was even worse since she had to make use of actual signs so they knew what she threw. "So after an impartial game of chance, the two of us ended up joining her as her guests."

"The other guys are here, they just can't visit the preview." Uraraka replied as they knew that the rest of the girls had still bought tickets but they won't see them for a while.

"Oh, really?" Kendo asked them as she didn't think anyone from her class was attending. Tokage said she was too busy and Honenuki said he didn't want to attend and rather focus on training.

"We're all planning to look around once the expo opens to the public." Yaoyorozu said as she clapped her hands together.

"Here's a thought, why don't I show you girls the sights?" Mellissa offered them.

"Really?" Uraraka asked her, excited that they might get equal to a backstage pass.

"You sure you have time?" Jiro asked her, not wanting to intrude on anything.

"Well I was showing around Tetsutetsu, but the more the merrier, right?" Mellissa replied, having no trouble in showing them around the place, she thought it would be a great idea.

"That's awesome!" The girls chanted in unison.

"Please take us with you!" Kaminari and Mineta begged of her before Kendo grabbed the two by the back of the collar and dragged them off.

"Oh on you don't, you two still have work to do." Kendo told them as she pulled the two sad-looking boys along so that they could get back to work.

BOOM!

"What the hell was that?" Tetsutetsu, along with the rest of them jumped to their feet as they looked around for the source of that explosion. It didn't take long for them to spot the smoke cloud rising in the distance.

"It sounded like it was coming from the villain time challenge area?" With Mellissa, she didn't seem all that concerned as she looked into the distance.

"Villain time challenge?" Iida asked her, confused as the rest of them.

"Yeah, basically, you're dropped in a zone with a fixed amount of automated robot villains. They time you to see how long it takes for you to defeat them all." Mellissa explained to them before she decided to just lead them there and show them.

(At said area)

"That's a lot of ice." Tetsutetsu stated once they arrive and saw what the arena, which was a mountainous setting with a small river going through it, was covered in a glacier of ice.

"There's only one person I know that can create that much." Iida said as he fixed his glasses as the group looked down to the source of the icy upgrade to the landscape.

"This is insane! 14 seconds! This gentleman as jumped to the top of the pack!" The cute brunette announcer girl called out as Todoroki stood up from his kneeling position on the ground and started to walk away. He was already told beforehand that they had people that cleaned up the zone after each person so he didn't mind leaving his ice behind.

"Todoroki." Uraraka said aloud as they were building up the list of UA students present.

"He's from 1-A too, right? The runner up for the sports festival." Mellissa asked him, having winced when she and her father watched his rather disappointing match at the end there.

"Yeah, he wasn't so open before but's he's coming out of his shell." Uraraka responded as Todoroki had started talking to others in class. It wasn't much but he started the year super closed up and anti-social so his engaging in groups discussions was a step in the right direction.

"Hey, Todoroki!" Tetsutetsu called out to him as he jumped down to speak with him.

"Hmm, are those?" Hearing his name, Todoroki looked up and was quite surprised when he saw not just his classmates but one of the students from 1-B.

"Hey man, didn't think we'll see you here. What gives?" Tetsutetsu asked him once he approached the boy.

"My father was invited so I'm representing him." Todoroki calmly replied as he hadn't wanted to go but saw it as a chance to get out of the house for a week, so he took it. He also promised to get presents for his siblings and mother before returning.

"Oh yeah, I forgot that he gets invited as well, but he rarely ever comes to these things." Tetsutetsu responded as he had heard from Mellissa that he hadn't shown up in a while. As the two walked away from the area, Tetsutetsu stopped and looked back at it, most of the ice had already been taken care of so the next person would have their chance any minute now.

"Hmmm, I wonder." Tetsutetsu thought to himself as he hadn't gotten the chance to shine with his new quirk, only tips about it when he and Midoriya talked but he had an idea he was hoping to try out.

"What?" Todoroki asked him.

"I'm gonna try my hand at this." Tetsutetsu said as he walked back out toward the arena.

"If you want to, be my guest." Todoroki said as he turned around and left to join the others to watch.

"We got a new challenger coming in at the last minute! Will he came out on top, or fail in front of the entire expo?" The announcer called out as Tetsutetsu took his position at the starting line.

'That's encouraging.' He thought to himself as he levered his breaths and calmed down. What he was about to do could go either well or bad, it was a gamble.

'Don't try to force it, let it flow like the metal of my steel.' He thought to himself as Midoriya had suggested that he didn't start trying to use this knew quirk like All Might did but rather he tried his hand at using the power-up aspect to increase his speed and more importantly, his power. "Let's go!" He called out as he felt the power of One for All coursing through his veins while the much more familiar feeling of his steel covering up his body in its cold but welcomed protection.

"The course has been set, ready? Go!" With that call, he was off as he dashed off as quickly as he could towards the first target. He saw that the target was on a ledge and trying to get a lock on him, confident in his armor, he didn't bother trying to dodge in favor of taking it out as soon as possible. Once he reached the mountain face, he jumped up towards it and with his hands still powered with both his quirks, used his strength to bury them into the rock deep enough to support his weight as he raved up the mountain with haste. Once he was close enough, he used his impressive upper body strength combined with the boast of One for All to launch himself to clear the rest of the distance and clock the robot in the face, destroying it.

Not wasting time as he was taught by Vlad and All Might, he was already moving towards the next target before the first target had fallen over. With the second robot he saw, it was at a distance that he knew would take too long to cover, so he picked up a large rock as he could find as he ran and threw it with as much force as he could. Lucky for him, his aim as spot on the large rock busted right into the main 'eye'/camera, taking it out. Mentally thanking the fact he had played FPS in the past, he moved to find more targets as fast as he could. Another robots were now closer to him and seeing how this was a time trial, he didn't stop to attack but rather as he ran by he clotheslines the unit. Though he couldn't aim for a neck since he didn't have one, the force of his arm, which was a steel bean, ramming into it proved enough to take it down to.

Jumping down into the river part of it, he saw that two robots were in the water and a third was on the other side. Thinking fast and copying the froggy member of 1-A, he bent his kneed, and with as much power as he dared used, he used One for All to increase his jumping ability, allowing him to land on the head of the first unit, the force of his landing crashing it. He did the same with the second one and though it wasn't as damaged, it was still enough to take it down. With his final jump, He went after the last one on the other side of the river and tackled the thing into the cliff side, destroying it.

"What an incredible, with a time of 6th place at 27 seconds!" The announcer called out just after he took down the last of them. Tetsutetsu hearing this, powered down both his quirks and immediately felt sore from it. He didn't think he broke anything, so he was happy that his gamble about his steel quirk strengthening his body worked out. Sure that was only a fraction of the power he had been given and it was hard to keep focus and not go overboard but he was happy with his time.

"Is it me, or was that faster than he was during the festival?" Iida asked as he didn't recall that steel user being that fast, or strong for that matter during the festival. Sure he was nowhere near what he was capable of but it was still a notable increase in his acceleration.

'One for All.' Mellissa thought to herself as she saw it, what the other didn't. 'His movements may be different, and he's not as fast but he has uncle Might's power.' Well, at least she could put that tiny part of her that doubted her uncle Might when he told her the story to bed now.

'To keep me from being taken out with a single attack, I have to let the power flow to every part of my body,' Tetsutetsu thought to himself as he exited the arena. 'And use my quirk to harden my body to the strain!'

"That was quite the run, Tetsutetsu. I didn't know you could move like that." Iida congratulated him once he re-joined the group.

"Oh well, it's something that I've been working on in my free time. Still got a lot to work on though." Tetsutetsu told them as he was happy that they liked it but it was still a work in progress, he doubted that he could maintain that in combat but it was off to a good start. However, before they could continue their conversation, one else cleared the zone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, with a mighty effort. We have the new 4th highest time at 20 seconds!" The announcer called out as they all turned to see that a certain giant had just finished crashing the final robot before shrinking down back to her normal size.

"Mt. Lady?!" They all called out as they saw the woman herself, in full hero gear as she waved to the crowd as she walked away from the arena. Pleased with her time.

"She's here too?" Mellissa asked as she didn't think that Izuku would be bringing his girlfriend on this trip. With what she knew about the work schedule of a pro, she figured she wouldn't have the free time to attend. As Mt. Lady walked along, she looked up towards them and was pleasantly surprised by the fact that not only was Mellissa present but some of her boyfriend's friends as well.

'Oh my, I didn't think I'll see them here. Neither of us did.' Mt. Lady thought to herself as she used her quirk to enlarge herself as she approached them. "Hey, aren't you all from UA?" She asked from her full giant size, looking down on them as the rest of the crowd backed away slowly.

"Were you invited?" Yaoyorozu asked the…very tall woman as she shrunk down but as she did so, grabbed onto the guard rail and hoisted herself up onto the stands.

"Nope! But my boyfriend was, I came here as his plus 1." Mt. Lady, now smaller replied to them with a wink.

"Boyfriend?" All but Mellissa asked her.

"You're dating?" Tetsutetsu asked her, though he didn't know that his question came off as a little ruder than he intended.

"Is that surprising?" Mt. Lady asked him as she glared at the boy, an aura of foreboding around the women promising to crash him if he gave the wrong answer.

"No mam!" Tetsutetsu was quick to back pedal out of that one before he got squished like a bug.

"Idiot." Jiro uttered as she and the rest of the girls saw that he shouldn't have said what he said. Iida picked up on that as well due to his manners and Todoroki knew that from whenever his sister gave him advice on how to talk to people. Seeing that she had gotten her point across, Lady decided that this would be a great time to show off their soon to be not so secret relationship.

"Hey, since you're all here. Why don't we all go and see him? He's not too far from here." Mt. Lady suggested to them.

"Really, what is he doing?" Uraraka asked as she didn't find it too odd that the woman was dating, only that this supposed boyfriend wasn't present to watch her do the villain course.

"Presenting some of his work to potential investors. Come on, I'll show you." Mt. Lady replied to them as she started leading them off. All but Mellissa knowing who this boyfriend was.

"Your boyfriend is a researcher here?" Iida inquired as he went for the more logical assumption.

"Oh no, he isn't from I-island." Lady replied as they left the villain course area behind and headed towards the outer areas of the island, near the giant wall that kept large waves from damaging anything.

'Oh my, they don't know.' Meanwhile, in the privacy of her mind, Yu couldn't help but laugh at them since she thought he would have told one of them something but it seems it was as secretive about this as he was about his cookie stash. 'This is going to be good.'

---

(Later)

"What's going on?" Yaoyorozu asked as they approached a small seating area filled with a mix of people. From the tourists and residents of the island in their civilian wear, scientists in their lab coats and overalls, investors and other business-related people in smart suits and tie, and pro heroes. What stood out in that crowd was the fact she could make out a few in military uniforms. She wouldn't say she was an expert but that appeared to belong to the US Navy. What were they doing here? Towards the front was a stage along with a large monitor. On said screen, they could see that whatever was being shown was coming in from the sea. On the water in front of it, were dozens of small boats.

"Looks like a demonstration at sea?" Jiro stated as to why else would tons of cameras be placed out that far from the island. According to the little tab in the corner, this demonstration was taking place was over 22km away. What were they even testing that far out?

"But why, is it a new boat or something?" Tetsutetsu asked Melissa. He got his answer when someone in the crowd screamed out something, pointing towards the screen.

"Holy cow, that thing is fast!" One of the children watching called out, drawing everyone's attention to the high-speed, jet-like missile flying through the air. As it came into focus on the monitor, the audience found themselves able to make out more details about it. For one, the jet-like craft was a lot smaller than they were expecting to be. It was still longer than the average family SUV but small for an aircraft of any measure. The craft had a delta wing design but clear variation to it as the engineers in attendance could make out the fact that those same wings had odd curves to them. The high-speed aircraft also was painted in a silver and green color with according to the kids present, made it look even cooler. The last thing people picked up was the fact that the cockpit space was small, like small enough for a child-sized pilot and nothing more. The unknown vehicle picked up even more speed as it flew low to the water, they know that this was the case as a shockwave cone-formed towards the rear of the aircraft.

"No kidding, is it a new jet?" Another asked as they watched as the craft seemed to be content in flying so low to the water that most were scared a single wave would do it in, but to their interest, whenever a wave even got close, the aircraft moved out of the way as if it knew that would happen. Clearly, the pilot was quite skilled.

"As you all fine fold can see," the young sounded, familiar-sounding announcer called out to the crowd via the many speakers in the area. "The new Silver Wing is more than capable of breaking the sound barrier, but you might be asking. Is it any good in the corners?" The announcer, who the group of teens plus pro hero knew asked the crowd before he chuckled. "Well then, why don't we all sit back and observe." He suggested as they all turned back to the screen to see the aircraft approaching the boats. Those same boats opened up to reveal themselves to be armed with everything from mini-guns, anti 40mm anti-aircraft guns, and SAM turrets. The audience was stunned by this, not knowing that actual military-grade hardware was being used in this demonstration. Without prompt from anybody they could see, all of them started firing on the aircraft.

"Hold up, was that?" Tetsutetsu asked slowly as there was only one person whose face matched that voice and was crazy enough to procure this kind of fire-power, just to demonstrate something.

"No way…it can't be." Uraraka didn't believe it, but the facts were there for all to see as the now named Silver Wing showed just what it was made up as it dodged and weaved through the fire and missiles like it was going out of fashion. Two missiles locked onto it and in response, the aircraft made a steep vertical climb upwards, soon losing the missiles which simply didn't have the speed to keep up. Once that was done, it took to rolling into its right side as it dived back down, entering a high speed, downward spin that most pilots would never do for two reasons. The first being that outside fighter craft, no plane had an airframe that could take that sort of punishment. The second being that such G-forces would-be killer(in some cases, literal) to the pilot and their crew.

"Such grace and fluid movement." Uraraka noted as they watched as the aircraft easily pulled out of the spin and with even more speed them before, it dashed right one passed one gunboat and then pulled off a turn on its side to such a degree the one wing pointed straight up and other straight down. It did this to fly through the gap between two other gunboats. Yaoyorozu figured that it could have just flown over them but this was a showcase, it was strutting its stuff for the audience.

"How can a craft love like that? The G-forces on the pilot would be punishing." Yaoyorozu on the other hand, looked at this from a technical standpoint, same as Mellissa and they both knew that such maneuvers were physically impossible for even a seasoned pilot, which begged the question, why did they even fit a pilot in there? And it wasn't only them, everyone in attendance with even a small understanding of aerodynamics also had this question as the aircraft zoomed and flew around like it was nothing, dodging fire and causing missiles to crash into one another or the ocean.

"That maneuverability is thanks to the fact it has no living pilot nor some pilot controlling it from a distance. That right, folks" The announcer revealed to the crowd, shocking them at the thought that all this skill was being done by a pilot on the ground. UAVs were nothing new, with the US military making the most of it for centuries, even before quirks were a thing but they were believed to have the monopoly on drones. "This new model has its very own, cutting edge piloting I.A. which can outperform even the best dogfighters out there." And that was when even the engineers in attendance were floored. I.A/ designed for the complex task had always been a challenge as the more variables in the question, the harder it was to build a program that could perform them. It was why most IA was mainly restricted to tasks with set rules and simply impossibilities, like chess. However, it was hard to make one that could drive a car, to create one that could perform like a veteran fighter pilot….it was unprecedented.

"It can also take a beating when needed, the outer shell of the craft can not only survive a blast from up to three shoulder fire anti-air missiles but can survive a crash at high speed, oceans depths of 5,000m(16,400ft), the extreme cold of negative 70 Degrees Celsius and extreme heat of 500 Degrees Celsius." The announcer gave just some of the stats of the unmanned flying wonder as the unit cleared the last of the boats and with the last missile harmlessly flying off into the distance after missing, it turned tail and flew right towards them at speeds exceeding the speed of sound.

"Looks like it's coming in now." The announcer, who revealed himself to be the person the group had known him to be-Midoriya, walked onto stage. Unlike the rest of them, he wasn't in his hero gear but rather was smartly dressed in a black and green suit along with some black leather shoes. Like normal, his hair was a mess but that didn't seem to mess the image too much. Not even a full 20 seconds later, the crowd saw the aircraft approaching before they heard it as it came at them like a bat out of hell.

With only a couple thousand meters worth of air left, they all thought it had somehow lost control or misjudged something. However, before panic could settle it, the aircraft started to slow down drastically as it deployed its airbrakes built from what those with the knowledge could tell, its thrust reverser. Not even a 70m worth of air remaining and the aircraft had reached them without failure as it hovered in space for a bit before gently touching down on the stage right next to Izuku who hadn't moved an inch, so confident on the I.A being able to see and avoid him that he didn't move. It took the crowd a few seconds to collect themselves and when they did.

Applause.

They all applauded him as he took a bow to their praise, even the small group gave a clap and whistle as they were proud that his latest project(they had no idea how he even had the time to sleep with all these secrets projects) was a success. Now that there were closer to it, the group and audience could tell that the frame of the drone was sleek and aerodynamic with the curves and edges expertly trimmed, cut, added, or enlarged as if done by a master aero-mechanical engineer. The silver and green drone also had a touch of white and gold on the design, giving the model a regal, refined, and quite a badass appearance. Once he had soaked up enough of it, Midoriya raised his hands as he called for silence once more before he could explain his new machine more.

"Now, you all might be wondering, why didn't it fire back? Why not defend itself? The answer is simple, this unit was never intended for combat, but a more benevolent cause." Midoriya said as he directed their attention to the fact that the entire outer shell had no weapons placements whatsoever. No guns, no missiles. This was odd since those who knew him to know he was an expert on weapons, so what was this benevolent purpose he was referring to that stopped him from turning it into an angel of death? Well, they got their answer when he took out a remote and pushed a button. Almost immediately, the smooth flow of the exterior was now interrupted as the body as the drone started to open up, revealing that inside it housed multiple large containers.

"It's pressurized highly shock-resistant cabin contains," Midoriya started as he worked the complex-looking lock on one of those containers before opening it to reveal. "Medical supplies." And he wasn't lying. Inside the container was everything you thought of when someone said medical equipment besides an actual stretcher and hospital-level equipment but rather it had everything that a well-stocked ambulance would have and extra as he opened the rest of the containers for them to see.

"As you call can see, the unit carries everything a pro or other emergency services would need to treat and stabilize victims of villains attacks and disasters until they can be safely taken to a medical center of some kind. Each one even comes with two medical droids programmed with the very latest in field medical treatments and are equipped with state of the art A.I. in their own right." He added on the amazement of the crowd as, from the back of the drone, two small crate-like boxes were deployed. From those crates, they opened up and transformed into skinny but humanoid-looking robots around the size of Midoriya himself. They were finished in white and red and had clear red crosses painted on their foreheads, shoulders, and chests.

"These units can be packed with a variety of different tools and gear. The why? Is because heroes are more than the pros, firemen, police, and paramedics. All of these fine people are heroes to the people they help every day. With the Silver Wing, all of them will be within reach of all the supplies they'll need no matter where or when they did it. With a top speed of mac 1.5 and a ferry range of 1,875km, this piece of genius can fly from Tokyo to Shanghai in a little over an hour." Midoriya explained the reasoning and the speed and range of the drone to the audience which was awed by the fact he created something this innovative, this amazing, for the sake of saving people. That alone won him a lot of points with both his friends and the pros watching as it was a sad but common thing when lives couldn't be saved because there was a lack of the supplies needed to do so.

"Before we go on, might we offer a thank you to the US navy for aiding in this little demonstration?" "I mean it, it was a pleasure working with such fine sailors."

"So," Midoriya finished off the presentation as he faced the crowd, keeping to the mantra Yu had taught him to keep him calm and collected. He couldn't avoid being stuttering and camera-shy right now. "Any questions?" He didn't even finish the question before his hands shot up. He didn't care with the picking and chose someone at random by pointing at them.

"How much does one of these units cost?" That chosen person asked, from the suit she was wearing, Midoriya guessed she was representing a possible investor for him. Good, he needed the financial and material aid to increase production since, at present, he could only build one per mouth right here on I-island. Even then, the production line David-sensei had allowed him access to was small and also handled the projects of others. He needed the cash to secure his one production line to increase production.

"The price has been placed as low as possible to ensure that they can be supplied to as many countries and hero agencies as possible but production and material costs are still a factor. So each one costs around 408,000 US Dollars." Ha, he could see the wince that shot through most of them at the cost of his new invention but he wasn't lying when he said that was the lowest he could go while still making some semblance of profit. At least it seemed like the representatives of the companies and businesses who could be his future investors didn't seem all that turned off from the idea. The closest and might he add in his opinion, inferior model of drone in service, had a price tag easily 30 times that. Even the sailors representing the US navy looked impressed at that since he managed to theoretically create a drone far superior to what they used at a fraction of the price. He could imagine their coffers back in Washington would be pleased with that.

"How can it manage to secure the cargo?" Onward to the next question, this time from one of the engineers in attendance.

"The interior was built using the latest innovations in space travel technology, with shock adsorbing cushions and secure belts, placements, and harnesses, it can even be configured to carry donor organs from one hospital to the next." Midoriya explained to them as they weren't close enough to see what he was referring to, but that was how the precious cargo hadn't been damaged on route here since even the crates themselves had soft padding and hard outer shells to prevent damage.

"How would the cargo fair if the unit crashes?" Okay, that was a question he saw coming a mile away. There was no such thing as an aircraft that didn't have a crash or accident on record. It was simply impossible since if a model stayed in use long enough, some will go wrong with at least one. Maybe a mechanical or human error in use, something that went wrong in producing or maintaining the unit, terrorist actions etc. Point is that all accidents were a sure thing, airplane manufacturers just didn't like talking about it.

"The hull as previously stated was designed to survive a crash at the speeds of 530km/h or 329mph. Though the outer layer would be totaled, the interior will remain intact. And yes, this was tested, we purposely crashed several units into the sea, the ground, forests, and mountainsides." Midoriya replied to the questions as it had been painful to watch as the prototypes he had built over the last 8 months were purposely destroyed just so he and others could examine the wreckage for ways to improve on it.

"Why not include a passenger cabin?" One of the kids in the audience asked him. Aw, he was such a cute little kid, he felt bad for his parents as the cute ones were always the brattiest. He should know, he knew one.

"Because that would add on both bulk and size to the unit, increasing the power demands from the engines which would, in turn, require stronger engines which needed larger fuel reserves which leads to even more weight. You can see where I'm going with this. What little space that is inside is for the cargo, fuel calls and engines Also, its small size means that it can take off and land in very small areas since it is a vertical take-off and landing capable." Midoriya explained as that had been the goal from the beginning. Creating a VTOL capable craft with a smart I.A. that could reach even the most deserted and isolated parts on the planet to offer aid.

"The medical droids as you call them, are they truly capable?" Another person, who was closer to the group of teens asked. Midoriya saw them but opted not to say anything at present, he'll speak with them later.

"Yes there are, their programming was created by myself and some of the best I-island has to offer. They have also been vetted by numerous doctors and specialists and all have given them their seal of approval. They do however have an operational time of only 8 hours so they are only good as a means to treat until help can arrive." That was the one downside to the project he couldn't fix at present, their relatively short battery life as he was originally gunning for 12 hours to give emergency services the time they needed to reach someone deserted or off the beaten trail.

"Can they fight?" Someone else asked as they looked at the two robots who hadn't done anything other than wave at the crowd since coming out.

"No, there are built to be helpers and have built-it failsafe that prevents them from harming people. You could say we programmed the Hippocratic Oath into them." Midoriya responded as he had in no way wanted his work to be used for violence. This was a project to help people, not kill them. He left out the part that was buried in their programming was a kill switch. If the robot, for any reason, attempted to hurt a living being, its power cells would power down and its location would be sent to a central computer here on the island. That way, of one malfunction or if somebody tried to repurpose them, he'll know.

(Later)

"Damn, he had the time to make that?" Later, after the presentation, as ended, the group from before navigated the remaining crowds of people who had decided to stick out.

"I had no idea he was that resourceful." Iida said to himself as he was very much impressed by his class rep's actions in designing and building such a heroic device. He couldn't wait to see them in service across japan and the world abroad.

"There he is now." Jiro asked as they looked around for him, only to see him in a discussion with older guys. The one they all recognized from his friendly-looking face and the fact he was in a wheelchair. Tensei Iida, older brother to Tenya Iida and the former pro hero by the name of Ingenium. The former pro was dressed similarly to the casual wear that Tenya was known for with a light blue polo shirt and brown slacks with brown loafers With them, the second guy was taller than the both of them, but not too lanky, having a frame that seemed more built for speed their strength. He had short, messy green hair with a purple fringe as well as red eyes. He, like the rest of the scientists in attendance, was wearing a white lab coat over a plain white dress shirt and slacks. He also appeared to be of American descent going by his face and the way he pronounced his Japanese.

"Brother?" Iida asked as the group came up to the three of them, drawing their attention away from whatever they were discussing.

"Oh, Tenya, there you are. I wanted to you meet the man who might be able to get me back on my feet. Donatello Hamato." Tensei introduced them to the man he had been speaking with. Donatello for his part, merely smiled at them as he reached out a hand to greet them.

"Please, call me Donny." Donatello said to them as he spoke with a respectful but casual demeanor. As he answered them, they were able to see that he was missing the front middle tooth in his mouth for whatever reasons.

"It is a pleasure. We hadn't had any luck in finding anyone that can help." Iida replied to him with his smile as he hadn't gotten the man's name before but he was nonetheless thankful that he had taken his brother's case in aiding him back on his feet.

"I'm only doing the right there here as my father would want of me. Still, medical research and technology has came a long way since the pre-quirk era, I can say that he can regain his legs but it's unlikely that he'll return to hero work." Donny told them as he fixed the glasses had been wearing to better balance his nose.

"The fact alone that I might not need the wheelchair soon is good enough for me." Tensei added in with a chuckle, showing that even though he had been robbed of his legs, he was still cheerful.

"Did you came alone?" Tetsutetsu asked Donny as he was starting to suspect this was the boyfriend Mt. Lady was referring to.

"Yes, I asked my brothers but…." Donny thought back to when he asked them all. The eldest of them, Leo said he was busy helping their father around the dojo, the youngest, Mikey had already made plans to teach skateboarding to orphans at the community center and Raph…he just said no and left. "They couldn't make it, same with most of my friends." He finished as Casey was working a case along with the NYPD and April had to take care of her dad after he had a nasty fail.

"Strange, if you came along, how are you her boyfriend?" Uraraka asked as now she was confused. Hearing this, Midoriya looked towards Mt. Lady without the rest of them saw this and saw the smile on her face and realized what was going on.

"Whose boyfriend?" Donny asked as the girl pointed towards the heroine with them, to which he shook his head. "I don't even know who she is." Donny answered as he didn't bother trying to remember heroes from outside New York State, he had enough to deal with so unless you were big, he didn't try to remember you. Seeing that this was the best time to screw with them, Mt. Lady walked towards the three men.

"Of course not, he and I have never meet" Mt. Lady said as she walked right up to Izuku, and to the shock of the entire gathering, she pulled the boy into a kiss which he quickly reciprocated with as much passion as she did as his arms found themselves around her waist. The two of them did this for another couple of seconds before they broke their lip-lock and she leaned into the strong chest to hear his heartbeat. "This my boyfriend."

.

.

.

"What!" The UA students all yelled out at once as their brains nearly shit down from the shock alone. Donny and Tensei for their part weren't as shocked but they handled it a lot better than the students as for a second, Donny saw himself in the boy, and in Lady, he saw a certain redhead. When he saw that image for even a second, he felt immense pride that another egghead got the girl. Tensei on the other hand was stunned by this as he had heard nothing about this from his brother, no doubt his little brother didn't know as even with the age gap, the guy was far too much a stickler for the rules to understand relationships all that well.

"Hello, beautiful, how was the villain trial?" Izuku asked her as he held her close. Feeling both relief and happiness in the fact that he didn't have to hide things from his friends. Having had told Tokoyami about his relationship with Yu shortly before he left Japan. He was quite shocked when the guy told him he had seen them during the festival and had his suspicions about it.

"Oh, it was fun but I wished that you were there." Yu answered him as she looked up to him with that smirk that he had grown love.

"I did want to be but I had a presentation to give. How was it?" Izuku responded as he had wanted to support her there but his presentation was already booked and couldn't be postponed, especially since those gunboats had to be sent back to their base in Hawaii soon.

"You did great, they all looked really interested in your Silver Wing." Yu stated as she was really happy when she saw that so many of the suits watching had so many questions. They wouldn't have asked so much if they weren't interested. She knew that from experience. That experience is looking for a company to make Mt. Lady Merchandise. Sure it took longer than she thought but it was worth it in the end since she got a generous 20% of all profits from sales. Since she was quickly rising in popularity, which meant that she was earning enough from that part of her hero career to be able to buy a new, trendy apartment. This one was closer to work.

"Hold the hell up! Are we going to not ask questions about this?" Tetsutetsu yelled as he finally rebooted and he wanted answers, like how the hell this whole relationship thing happened!

"Midoriya, explain yourself!" Iida was quick to follow as this broke so many rules, he was finding it hard to keep track of it all.

"What, we've been dating since before I got into UA." Midoriya, seemingly unconcerned about their questions, told them. Shocking them even more at the fact he had been with this beautiful, older woman since before he even got into high school, what the hell!

"We don't like the press getting into our affairs, so we keep it on the down-low." Mt. Lady explained the next question she knew was coming, how the media did not know about this when they followed her around during work hours and to some extent when she was off the clock.

"I can't believe it." Uraraka piped out as she saw it, but couldn't believe it. Her not-so-little crush wasn't just taken, but he was taken by a girl so out of her league it wasn't even funny.

"You and me both, I'm seeing it but I can't process it." Jiro was in the same boat as her, granted she hadn't had any romantic feelings towards the boy but this was still out of nowhere. Yaoyorozu hadn't even come out of her startled state yet.

'So that's what he meant when he said he was dating a blonde?' Meanwhile, in the mind of the heiress, she couldn't help but remember what Midoriya had told her when he was at her house. 'I had no idea he was into….older women.' She found herself blushing a bit as her mind, without her consent, drifted off towards the more 'private' moments of a relationship. She had no idea if the two had…done it but she knew that both were more than just in shape, which meant that if they had it must have been quite the experience.

"But….this….SHE's…." Iida tried to voice his complaints, he really did but seeing all this proved too much for him and like an embarrassed animal girl, he passed out and fell over, only being saved from hitting the cold ground when Todoroki, who had been silent this whole time, had caught him.

"Looks like he couldn't comprehend it and passed out. Will he be okay?" Todoroki stated as he didn't see the issue that they all did. It wasn't like the guy was supposed to tell them every detail about his life, he sure didn't. So what he Midoriya had a girlfriend, and that she was older? It only meant she was in a better position to protect herself. As far as he was concerned, so long as they didn't start acting like those couples in his sister's show, the ones that were so insufferable, you wanted one of them to die, he was fine.

"Not to worry," Tensei coughed into his hand to gather himself. "This isn't the first time this has happened. But thanks to you all, he's been relaxing more so this is the first in a while."

"Anyway, we'll leave you, kids, to your fun. We got some stuff to discuss." Donny said as he figured that this didn't need them to get involved, so with a farewell, the two of them left with Donny pushing Tensei's wheelchair as the two continue to discuss his treatments and other important topics.

"Now back to the matter at hand, why are you all here?" Midoriya asked the group, having let go of his girlfriend as she had moved about so that she was standing side to side with him.

"My father is a shareholder, I got an invitation." Yaoyorozu managed to bring herself back from whatever fantasy or thought was crossing through her mind as she answered. Lucky for her, no one knew the real reason she was blushing and just assumed that seeing the two of them so close was the culprit.

"We're here because she had some extra tickets." Jiro replied as she pointed to herself and Uraraka, who for the same reason, looked sad. What was up with that?

"My father was invited, he couldn't make it." Todoroki responded as he gestured towards the knocked-out Iida and said that his family had also been invited.

"And what about you, Tetsutetsu?" Midoriya asked as he turned to the lad, having had no prior knowledge that the guy was going to be here. Unknown to him, Mellissa hadn't told him she had sent All Might an invite so he didn't even know that All Might was present.

"I came with a friend, he had a couple of extra tickets." Tetsutetsu responded as he cursed the fact that this had come up again, he just barely avoided it the first time.

"What I want to know is how you got here?" Todoroki, thank God for Todoroki, spoke up and unknowingly saved him from explaining that he came with All Might.

"She's right, were you invited as well?" Uraraka managed to ask as she buried whatever broken and confusing feelings she had about this in the deepest parts of her soul. Now wasn't the time to break down, she'll do that later! When she called her mom and dad and asked them how to deal with this.

"Yeah, my father and I are quite close to the Shields, so we all got an invite." Midoriya responded to them as he took out the passcard that had been around his neck to show them.

"Are your parents here?" Mellissa asked as she recalled that they had sent his whole family an invitation but she hadn't seen Hisashi or Inko around.

"Somewhere but chances are they're doing a couple stuff, they don't get a lot of time together so I don't mind them vanishing to have fun." Midoriya responded as his parents had split after they made it to their hotel room. He and Yu were sharing a room, much to his parent's amusement as they made sure he knew on the flight over. Once they got there, he hadn't even finished putting everything away before they both bolted. Sometimes he wondered if they were working on conceiving a sibling for him.

"Anyway, why don't we get back to the tour?" Mellissa started before they could five deeper into the rabbit that was Izuku's love life. If Iida passed out at hearing about them dating, she was pretty sure he wouldn't react well if he ever found out how the two met.

"Sure!" Yaoyorozu, also wishing to change the subject before her mind can betray her again, agreed.

"I think we'll," Only for that hope to be smashed to bits when Izuku spoke up, looking at Mt. Lady as if asking permission to which she gave no objections. "Join you."

"Dude, I'm still having trouble processing this, like how?" Tetsutetsu asked him as his head was starting to hurt from this image.

"I'll tell you the story some other time, for now. We got some sights to see." Midoriya told him as he and Mt. Lady joined the ever-growing group as Mellissa gave them the tour. He may have seen most of what the island had to offer already but Yu had no and he was eager to show her.

(Meanwhile – At gate 62)

"I've picked up the good as planned. No problems on our end." Meanwhile, back with the mysterious man from before, he stood in an overview area of the cargo gate area 62. Behind them, was the knocked-out security that they had been found. Each of them had their hands bound behind their backs and had bags over their heads so if they did wake up, they wouldn't see a thing. Currently, the man was speaking with the same person from before.

"Good, but there is an unexpected variable in play. All Might is here."

"What, All Might is here?" He asked as that wasn't anywhere in the plan. Heck, they didn't even know he was going to be out of Japan.

"Yes, it appears it wasn't planned or announced. Not even David knew he would becoming. Shall we postpone things or try and came up with something to keep him busy?"

"It doesn't matter. We can handle him, no problem." The guy replied after thinking about it for a moment or two before making his decision and hanging up the call. "Of course something had to come up, but why the hell did he and all heroes decide to show up?" He turned his attention to two of the men that can come with him standing by the doorway

"You better get ready, things might turn ugly later." He told the two of them as they both nodded their heads.

"Sure." One of them said as they walked away, using the small stairwell to walk over to the center of the hold where the man looked and saw that his other companions were being directed to by other members of the security.

"Is this it?" The tall, skinny one asked the paid-off security officer as they approached a large shipping crate.

"Yeah, everything was smuggled in about a week ago." The guard replied as the second one opened up the shipping container for them to see the inside of it. Weapons.

A whole lot of weapons.

"You can't go wrong with fully automatic. But I pump action does have its uses." One of the men said with a dark smirk as he opened a crate and saw that its contents were six fully automatic assault rifles. You gotta love America, may not have the most logical system of government but if there was one thing they got right, it was weapons. As he did this, another opened up another crate and saw the before mentioned shotguns while another housed ballistic vests and other combat gear. Everything you would need to supply a small assault team. It was all here.

"It's all here." One said as he nodded towards the window where they knew their boss was watching them.

"Good, then hurry up and suit up. The fun's going to begin soon." He answered as he smiled at the chance to let loose and collect the prize that they had been paid to obtain. If they got to take out some heroes while at it, all the more fun.

(With Toshi and David)

'So it is true.' As this was happening, David was looking over the readings his equipment was picking up from his friend, who laid in a scanning cocoon. All Might, seeing that the machine had been shut off, pressed the release to open the glass from the inside and removed the mask. "I don't understand it, Toshi. I know that you passed your quirk along to Tetsutetsu, but how can your quirk levels be going down that drastically?" David asked his old friend as he gestured towards the screens that showed not just his current quirk levels but also his levels from the past 10 years. You could see the notable drop from around the same time as his injury but this latest reading was much lower than expected, being a little over half his last one.

"I never really understood it myself. Quirk genes are found in the spinal column from what I remember, right?" Toshi, who was in nothing but a pair of black briefs replied as he never understood how the quirk worked himself, only making sure to guard it with his life until he could pass it on to the ninth holder.

"Yes, that's why many quirks don't need you to use your limbs or can function on new limbs without issues but how could your levels be going down, you passed along DNA so why wouldn't the quirk levels present be….dying out?" David replied as he struggled to comprehend that. All Might had only given a single strand of his hair, how could that affect the quirk factor already in his blood? He cut his hair like any normal person yet when he did that, his quirk remained unchanged.

"One for All was always like a sacred torch. Without the handle that carried it, it'll eventually burn out even if it has fuel." That was the best guess he had on the issue since that was how it was explained to him by Nana and how he explained it to Tetsutetsu, he would have thought about it more but then he looked down at his grievous wound. "Besides, with the condition my body is in, my time in the sun was coming to an end either way."

"At this rate, the symbol of peace will disappear before the year ends." David was equally as distraught about this as he had seen the rise and golden era of All Might, all the smiles, all the lives saved, all the people he helped. Now, all of that was under threat yet again. And this time, from an enemy both of them together, couldn't defeat. Time.

"The only reason that Japan has been able to keep its crime rate at 6% is because of your presence. Other countries have around 20% and some are even worst than that." David started as outside Japan, the world was a much crueler place as villains and criminals ran more freely than they would otherwise. Even with all the police and heroes. "Honestly, part of me wishes you never left, America could use you."

"The states are that bad?" Toshi asked him as he walked up to the guy.

"The crime rate is three times that of Japan's, and it's only getting seems to be getting worse." David said as he was scared for what was happening in his country. It was never peaceful, not since All Might left all those years ago but things were never this bad. He was scared of the chance that some villain attack could take away his daughter, all because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"Dave, there's no need to be so pessimistic about things. Things are bad, no one is denying that but the world is full of capable heroes, not the mention the people like you who support them." Toshi said to try and make his friend feel better, even if he felt like crap at the state of the world. It had been hard these past couple of years, staying as active as he could despite the fact he had been advised by just about everyone he knew to retire when he was injured. But he couldn't do it, he couldn't let the peace die, not without finding a successor to protect it in his stead.

"Besides, I may be down but I'm out of the fight just yet. I can still carry out my duty as All Might for 2 hours a day." Toshi said as he pointed to himself. It wasn't much but when you had his level of strength, it was enough to get a lot done. More than enough to ensure that the criminal's element was kept in check.

"Come on, who are you fooling? What if a monstrous villain appears, and you're not capable of saving the day again?" David asked him, imaging what dark day would come for such an event to go down, but the fact of the matter was, All Might was weakening, slowing down. Hearing this from his old friend, Toshi signed to himself as he placed his hand on his shoulder, trying a different approach.

"Listen, it's not like I don't think about that. Honestly, it's been on my mind ever since I lost Nana to that bastard. But understand that if that day comes, I have no intention of backing down. And even if I fall, there is still hope." Toshi told him with as much determination and fury as he could place within his withered but still standing frame.

"You mean Tetsutetsu?" David asked him. Honestly, he wasn't too sure about it, sure the boy would have more power than All Might once he fully unlocked it but that would take years of training and hard work. He wasn't sure they had the time for that.

"Mostly, but also because of all the fine heroes in training, I have the privilege of training. Just like us when we were their age, the young are shaping up to be even better than we ever were." Toshi told him as he thought back to the amazing match that Izuku and the rest of them put on for their finals. They gave it their all, just like there were being trained to do and in the end, came out on top.

"Yeah, Mellissa has been putting the work, same with Izuku." David said, surprising Toshi as the man stood up and went over to his desk before he pulled out two boxes. "That's why I made these for the two of them." He then showed the contents of the two to his friend, who could only look on in wonder.

"But this is…"

"Yeah, I know. You know she looks up to him, Izuku I mean." David said as he put the two boxes away with a worried smile on his face. "When she found out she was quirkless, she was so heartbroken, but she found her new passion in support gear, and is good at it, far better than I was at her age. But at her core, she still wanted to help people." He said as he had been sad to see his little girl lose that luster to her, that fire in her spirit all those years ago. It was only when she started pouring her efforts into support tech that he begins to see that again.

"Meeting Midoriya, seeing him still trying to become a pro without a quirk but rather his cunning and gear, it lit a fire under her. It gave her hope again." He said as he recalled how her eyes looked…different when he saw the boy using his perfected wingsuit for the first time when he first came to the island. He didn't know it at the time but that look was the first sign of that fire in her belly being reignited, now stronger than ever.

"Mellissa wants to apply for a hero school, back in the states." David dropped the bomb as he took a seat with a sigh, appearing as old as he was.

"Hero school? What brought this on?" Toshi asked him as that was surprising. She is already the third year, she would have to start again from her first year if she were to just switch courses. The part about her leaving the island also made sense as the academy didn't have a hero course.

"Watching Izuku, watching him give it his all despite the fact he doesn't have some quirk of his own. It inspired her, gave her hope that maybe she can be one too. I'm worried about it, how could I not, you're the strongest guy I know and look what happened to you but," David voiced as he had seen it too many times in his nightmares, his baby girl going up against some monster….against AFO and despite all her gear, all her training…he would lose her to that…that devil in human's clothing.

"But?" Toshi asked him as he could see where the ma was coming from, but at the same time, he could tell this wasn't the final word he had to say.

"I want her to be happy, to follow her heart and make her own decisions, just like I taught Mellissa her whole life. If she wants to try again, to give this hero thing a shot," David started before he gulped down his fears and just said it. "Who am I to stop her?" Hearing this, despite it all, Toshi couldn't help but smile as he thought back to the root of all things.

"That boy looks like he's doing what he set out to do already." Toshi said to himself, just loud enough for David to hear him.

"Who, Izuku?" David asked him.

"Yep, when he first met. He saw my true form, that part you know." Toshi started that was what he told them, Shield, when he had sent them the letter about the truth of his condition. "But as we talked, I found out that the lad, I found out that he wanted to become a symbol of hope, to prove that hard work and dedication are still what's important." He stated as he was quite proud of the boy, he had this drive to see things through to the end, to never give up. He knew in his gut that the boy would become a fine hero one day, even better than the one was already.

"Yeah, that one certainly never rests but All Might, can I ask something of you?" David asked him with a smile of his own as he recalled all the happy letters the boy had sent whenever he had achieved some new milestone. He was diligent, he was determined, but he was also kind and a true hero at heart. Not in it for the money, for the country, or even for the girls. He just wanted to prove that quirkless weren't helpless, to save people.

"Anything." Toshi replied to him. This made had been his brother in all but blood, he would do anything to help him as he had done so for him and so many others.

"I can't and won's stop her from trying but, can you teach her a few things. I'll be a lot better if I knew she was getting tips and training from you." David asked of him, even if he knew was pretty selfish. But Toshi didn't see it like that.

"You have my word. I'll train the both of them into some fine heroes." Toshi promised his friend. Taking that vow to heart as he now had even more reason to train this next generation of heroes to the best of his ability. They'll ensure that the world would be in better hands than the ones protecting it right now.

Okay, I think I'm going to end things there before I end up writing half the damn movie into this one chapter. That part at the end there was something similar to cannon as though David does have faith in the youth, you can also understand his fears as that faith isn't absolute. Also, I revealed that yes, Mellissa will become a hero like Midoriya but that will take time and won't be touched upon too much since there is so much happening already. What was in the boxes will not be revealed at present, you all will have to wait and see what Dave had hidden in his mystery boxes.

With the plane ride with Tetsutetsu and All Might and the ensuring landing on I-island, I used it as a chance to flush out All Might more as unlike cannon, he isn't as present in the overstory since he isn't training Izuku personally. The two may be close, he may know the man's secret but he's got his issues to deal with and narrative to push forward. All Might not be in a relationship I feel is a given seeing how even in season 4, there is no mention of a significant other. I just wanted to make that official.

Tetsutetsu's reaction to Mellissa I think made sense as the girl refers to him as uncle, so him thinking that they are related makes sense, heck the two are so close that you could assume that from just watching how they interact with one another. I also made small but important changes to the narrative in that Izuku is similar to Mellissa, not the other way around, when it comes to support gear as we know in the movie, Mellissa inspected Midoriya's hero costume just like she did Tetsutetsu's here. We also know that the girl is highly observant as she picked up on the scars on Izuku's hand and how his power and movement style was similar to All Might's. All this from less them three hours with the guy, that's impressive. That second chance being that when we see David for the first time in the chapter, rather than looking at a picture of All Might back in his youth, he's looking at a picture of his student and his daughter. He isn't focusing on the past but trying to imagine a bright future, even if that future scares him.

How did you guys like the fact that Kendo is present(and is dressed like a maid girl)? No, but seriously, as I've said in the past, I'm trying to involve 1-B more in the story so you can only imagine all things will play out with two members of that class present and accounted for on the island. Speaking of, I hope you enjoyed that little demonstration of Tetsutetsu's method of trying his hand at One for All. Since the story is so far along and we're technically in season 3, it would be difficult for me to give Tetsutetsu the same start as Midoriya has in canon but the two of them are different people. Hence why Tetsutetsu tries to use the power to increase his entire body via increasing his quirk's power rather than trying to use it in single limbs. Tetsutetsu is trying to harden and strengthen his steel in the same manner as reinforced steel to normal steel. Also, before any of you start. No, he isn't using One for All: Full Crowl but rather a more crude version of it. The reason being that Izuku based that power on how Gran Torino moves.

Tetsutetsu has never met the guy, so how would he do that? Also, notice that when he used it to scale the rock face, he didn't climb normally but used his steel fingers like hooks. The only thing this unnamed form does is increase his speed and strength a little bit but that's it. Here Mellissa picks up on the fact he's using All Might's power because he's got more power than he did during the festival, there is no green or white or blue or whatever colored lighting arching off him. He didn't give him as good a time as what Bakugo and Midoriya scored since they have better control over their powers, but I did have him a better time than Kirishima's since, in the movie, he scored 8th place with 33 seconds. Tetsutetsu was 13 seconds faster because of OFA and scored 4th place, which I think is a respectable standing.

With the portion at the end with Midoriya it in, the first draft had him showing off how the missile delivery system has been perfected to what we see Tony use in the first Avengers movie and while cool, I think this idea works better as it shows that he can design and build other stuff too. Also, just to be clear, he didn't build this in his lab since there would have been no room to work on it or move it out of said lab if he somehow found a way to do so. It was built on I-Island.

BTW, the whole thing about the RWBY joke was a part joke since I re-watched the movie and noticed that the thing shares some similarities and the other was because I'm hoping Volume 8 isn't as bad as volumes 6 back 5 had been for RWBY. I hope that they sat down and pulled their socks up since the show has been handling poorly in my opinion, since volume 5. You don't need me to say it, just how onto YouTube and search for the criticisms yourself or watch the show, you'll know what I mean.

Next chapter, prepare for more fun and more Mt. lady since she's gonna be an integral part of the story I'm telling about the movie. Hope you all are doing well, see you all next time.

Reviews:

Yamajiji: Well the wait is over, I hoped you enjoyed the chapter, it was fun(if not tiring) to write. That last chapter wasn't filler, at least not to me since I'll be treating it and other selective omakes and filler as canon to the story. With Tetsutetsu, I'm still undecided on what Tetsutetsu should call his new form once he's mastered and refined it. I don't want to go with Full Cowling since Midoriya came up with that, so what do you think?

D3lph0xL0v3r: Yeah, I have a feeling that Aizawa in cannon was just fucking with them with that one but here it does have a purpose. With the name, why don't you give me some suggestions?

Tantio: Eraser seems like the type of teacher that follows the same guidelines as an exam in medical school(pls keep in mind, I am and never was a medical student, this is just what I've heard from my father about his time thee and how papers are graded) According to their method if a student leaves the answer blank, you lose and gain nothing, if the answer is right, you gain a point but if your answer is wrong, you lose a point. Meaning that if half the answers are wrong and the other half are right, your score will be zero. The reasoning behind it is that a doctor must be sure his answer is right before he gives it since you'll be entrusted with lives one day if you pass. Imagine if you asked your doctor what was wrong with you after he/she examined you and they say 'IDK'? That's scary. Still, though, That's med school with somewhat trained adults, not a bunch of students with around one full semester of teaching so I agree with you there, he takes things too far at times.

Dalyn Hughes: Sorry pal, he's a hero here.

GunBlade2020: Oh, the problem wasn't overanalyzing things, it was the fact that they didn't act on all that information since Asui did see that he was only playing dead. They didn't even corner off the body but just left it there.

Blaze1992: Something tells me that Bakugo is gonna pick up that habit, but then again, that would be tampering with the crime scene.

tacktician: She's already met him in the past, don't you recall the earlier chapters? The sports festival? The two of them are as close as brother and sister, so don't even think about pairing them together here…no. Also, the ticket thing was something said during the sports festival, so even if he had lost the festival, he still would have gotten to attend.

Zukafew119: Thanks for that, it was one of the reasons that I decided to write that chapter in the first place. Also to give love to 1-B with Tetsutetsu, Shiozaki and Tokage. When it comes to All Might and his messaging thing, I have no idea why he chose his hero voice, he doesn't seem to treat it as a joke and he isn't full of himself so it's not like he enjoys the sound of his voice.

Mixing and matching the classes seemed like a good move and it worked out in the end. Iida wasn't in this group is all as Iida must have been the first to sign up for extra classes because he's so far behind. With Uraraka, she's s stubborn girl so I wanted to show that in her attitude. She still wants to be a pro, not just for the money that to stop things like that from happening to others. Same with Shiozaki. Izuku wants sweet payback and to through Shigaraki in jail, so there's that. Vlad asking about their health just seemed like something any teacher would do after one student was stabbed, another shot and the third nearly bleeding out.

Of course, they wouldn't tell Monoma anything, the guy is always looking for things to say about 1-A and things to hate on that they supposedly have that 1-B doesn't. The only reason that the staff did this was that their class was one short with Iida not present, so they mixed things up. We'll learn more about 1-B and their match-ups when they get more screen time as a whole, which should be around the summer camp raid. Also, their group was made up of students with excellent scouting ability so it makes sense that they'll be in a position to learn more about a scene. Tokage is also pretty smart the group coming up with a better approach makes sense.

With Bakugo and his nicknames for the two girls, I had more vulgar sounding names in mind that would have fit the guy better since his apparent nicknames for some of the people in his class include Todoroki(half and half bastard/Icyhot bastard), Yaoyorozu(Rich bitch) and Midoriya(Deku) buuuuut, I didn't want to start a fight between the two classes as you can bet that Shiozaki would not take kindly to any nickname with a curse/swear word of any kind. Heck, she'll probably try something if the name was 'suggestive' in any way. As far as I know, her quirk doesn't strengthen her body or the separated pieces so a slap from her disconnected hand would still fill like a normal slap.

With the actual plot the teachers had set up, the two of them figured it out faster than cannon, things just progressed faster than cannon because they moved faster. With their failing grade, I do think that the teachers were being harsh as you had no idea that All Might was a good actor and in that situation, the police would have done….something to stop this, like call out that the villain was getting away. Midoriya not chasing after him was because of all absurd the situation was, when have you ever seen a dead guy get up and run like a bat outta hell? With that last part, it makes perfect sense since Tetsutetsu would need the time to ask for permission, he can't just decide to head out, he has to have some form of guardian that would have issues with that, right?

With your last point here, you're perfectly right. In this take of him, the odds of him becoming a villain are next to impossible. I say next to because insanity is always a thing. With the Uraraka thing, it had to be done since their interactions have largely stayed the same so the odds are, she would have developed that crush on him like cannon, only now he doesn't feel the same way or even notices her feelings towards him. Hence why Uraraka was silent and rather emotional(at least, on the inside) when she saw that she didn't even have a shot with him since he was already in a relationship before she even met him. And for all those people that like the ship, I like it too but that's cannon so there is little reason for you to go out and look for fanfics with that ship. Just watch the show, read the manga if you want that. I don't like writing common ships because it's a bit too easy and mainstream, it is why I went out of my way to create this relationship between Yu and Izuku, to make it feel real and entertaining to read. Even if I skipped on the lemon scenes.

Also, when Uraraka feels that she's out of Yu's league, that's just her insecurity's talking. She'll get over it and don't you all for a second think I think she isn't attractive. She has a wonderful soul and is a beautiful young woman. She just drew the short straw in pairing in this story since even if there is a harem, I and my soundboard friends have no plans to include her in any way.
