Chapter 41

Do you know those days where you feel like you have no energy to do anything and just wished that you could lay in bed all day and not worry about the world.

Well that's exactly how I felt a day after I found out that the bastard All for One used Nana's body for his sick mind games.

Opening my eyes, I could hear my alarm going off but it felt… off.

I sat up and pressed the button to shut off the alarm.

Stretching my arms, I got off the bed and grabbed my toiletries, exiting my room to head to the bathroom.

Class A was worried for Izuku.

During breakfast, he walked in looking down and sluggish, greeting everyone with a half hearted good morning and ate some eggs and drank water.

Ochako, who sat next to him, looked at Izuku worriedly. "Deku?" Izuku looked at her with a curious expression.

"We heard what happened…" She explained. Aizawa got the explanation from Nezu and after pestering, told the rest of the class.

To say that everyone was shocked that he fought a Nomu that was made from Nana's body was an understatement.

Izuku frowned and looked down at his plate. "I don't want to talk about it.." He waved it off.

Iida cleared his throat. "If you need to talk about it-" But Izuku got up and made his way to the elevator.

"Thanks for the food.." Izuku mumbled as he went up to his room to get ready for class.

"... He needs some space." Bakugo sighed. "But we can't just leave him like that.." Kirishima retorted.

"Well he's not gonna talk to any of you any time soon." Bakugo snapped.

"No… Bakugo is correct." Yaoyourozu agreed. "Midoriya is in a hard place but we can't force him to talk to us… As much as I want to… He needs to come to us…"

I was idly doodling on my notebook as I waited for Aizawa to arrive.

Everyone was staring at me with worry in their eyes.

They didn't need to worry…

Aizawa walked in and his eyes zeroed in on me. I stared at him for a few moments before he sighed and started his class.

But I wasn't paying attention, I needed to find a way to fully utilize the quirk Float, since it can only keep me in mid air, I needed a way to move with ease.

I can pay Melissa a visit and ask her to add some thrusters into my costume to help me move in the air.

Sure, Air Force helps but I needed a way to maintain the speed.

"Midoriya." I looked up to see Aizawa looking at me. "Are you paying attention?" He asked.

"... Not really." I replied honestly as I leaned back on my chair.

Aizawa's look softened a bit as he sighed and continued with his lecture.

After classes ended, I walked out.

The vestiges haven't spoken to me, I really don't know what to say to them either…

Was this canon? What have I missed since I came here? I can't just go back to my old world and just look at the latest manga.

I stopped when I realized I passed the Support Studio.

Taking a few steps back, I opened the door and stepped inside, I spotted Power Loader with another support student.

"Hey, where's Melissa?" I asked. The support teacher sighed and pointed at a … new room?

Nezu added that after the duo complained about not having enough space to do their work." Power Loader explained.

"Huh.." I nodded as I walked to the heavily enforced door and knocked.

"WHO IS IT?!" Hatsume screamed from behind the door. "Izuku Midoriya here to talk about some upgrades to my costume." I shouted.

After a minute, the door opened and I was dragged inside. "HELLO! MELISSA IS OVER THERE WORKING ON SOMETHING! CAN'T TALK BABIES TO MAKE!" Hatsume ran to her side of the room as I walked to Melissa who was on the computer.

"Melissa?" I got her attention.

The blond looked at me and frowned. "Hey, I heard what happened-" "Do you have anything to help me with flight?" I cut her off.

Melissa blinked. "Oh you mean with Float?" She clarified. "I have a few prototypes but nothing solid at the moment." She sighed. "Sorry…"

"It's okay I just wanted to know if you… What is that?" I asked when I saw what she was working on, on the screen on her computer was what looked like a 3D model of an area.

"Oh! Ummm Tony put that on that USB drive for me when I completed the Arc Reactor… But I can't figure out what it is.." She adjusted her glasses.

Oh so that was it… Wait. I looked over the map, it was the Stark Expo map.

"Hey Mel! I need more space in my computer!" Mei popped up.

"Again? Mei, I gave you almost a terabyte of storage!" Melissa groaned. "You need to delete some of the data."

"But I need it!" Mei whined. "Then transfer it into a USB, if you need it just plug it back in and put the data back." Melissa rubbed her forehead.

… I blinked as I stood up. "What did you say?" I asked Melissa.

"What?" "What did you just say to Hatsume?" I demanded.

"Umm… Transfer it into a USB and plug it back in to put the data back when you need it?" She told me.

"What if the computer was corrupted?" I inquired.

"What? Then you need to fix it and then put the data back." Melissa answered.

"THANK YOU!" I grinned widely as determination sparked within me. "Also you're doing it all wrong."

"What?" Melissa was confused as I pointed at her computer. "You need to remove all of the clutter and look at it like an atom." I used the mouse to turn it sideways. "Thank you again!" I ran out of the lab with Melissa blinking.

"Your welcome…?" She didn't even understand what was going on, she shook her head and looked at the model again.

"What…" She typed in a few commands and removed the clutter. "Like an atom… Oh.. my.." Melissa's eyes widened. "MEI!"

"WHAT?!" All Might looked at me like I was crazy.

"We can bring Nana back!" I told him.

We were in Nezu's office, Tsukauchi, Gran Torino and Nezu looked at me skeptically.

"Midoriya what you're suggesting is.. Impossible." The detective told me.

"Hear me out." I pointed at Nezu's computer. "Let's say that is Nana's body. And it's been corrupted, luckily! We have a copy of her." I poked my forehead.

"We just need to put it back!" I exclaimed.

"But as you said, her body is corrupted… How are we to … uncorrupt it so to say." Nezu asked me.

"... You want to use Eri's quirk." All Might realized.

"Yes." I pointed at him. "She's been training and this can be a test for her, she can rewind Nana's body until it goes back to the way it originally was."

"And what about Nana herself?" Gran spoke up while giving me a hard stare.

I stayed silent and closed my eyes. Nana…

"... Kid." I heard her speak from my mind. "I'm not sure… I came to terms with my death a long time ago."

"But you have a chance to come back and… honestly I need help with Tenko and All for One if things get out of hand.." I told her mentally.

"... I want to make him pay… But I also want to save my grandson… or at least show him that someone really wants to save him." Nana sighed. "... I'm in."

"She's on board." I spoke aloud as I opened my eyes and looked at Gran Torino.

The old man groaned. "Fine…" He gave in.

"Tsukauchi, will you be able to get her body to a safe location for us to do this?" I asked the detective.

"I'm not sure… I can pull some strings." Tsukauchi rubbed his forehead.

"I'll do my best to help." All Might chimed in, I could see the hope in his eyes at the thought of having his master back.

"Well… with that out of the way, I want to bring another topic to the table." Nezu put his paws together.

"I have a contact in the HPSC who I trust, as of now he's currently in the lower levels but given time I believe we can help him reach the top."

We looked at the chimera. "So when we expose the higher ups, he takes over?" I asked.

"That's what I was thinking but we need to help him in small ways." Nezu explained.

Wow this really is an Illuminati meeting, deciding the fate of Japan's Hero Society… I really hope this goes well.

"Does he know of all the… things that happened?" I asked the principal. "Not yet, but he does express a desire to help change things." Nezu smiled. "He's a bright young man."

Gran huffed. "Green then?" "Quite." Nezu nodded.

"Well if we're really gonna do this then we need to gather evidence." Tsukauchi crossed his arms.

"Oh I already have someone on it!" Nezu laughed.

I narrowed my eyes. "... It's Neo isn't it?" I asked the obvious question.

"Ms. Neapolitan Vanille has a wonderful job as an office worker in the HPSC!" Nezu answered. Huh... wonder where the last name came from... Was Neopolitan her first name or just an alias... I'll ask later.

"Well… at least she has a job." I sighed… Neo wearing a suit with stockings and… NO!

I slapped my cheek hard to get the image out of my head. Gran chuckled. "Get your head out of the gutter kid." He said as if he knew what I was thinking.

"W-what about the MLA?" I asked, trying to get the conversation back on track.

"That's a bit trickier." Tsukauchi told me. "The Meta Human Liberation army has become a large group and getting moles in there is very difficult… From what you told us, they are able to monitor a person's every move." Yeah.. It was almost impossible for Hawks to get the info necessary…

"What do we know about the leaders?" I asked.

Nezu typed a few things onto his computer and a projector pops out of his desk and projects pictures of the leaders of the MLA on the flat wall.

"Chitose Kizuki, AKA, Curious. Executive Director of Shoowaysha Publishing." Chitose's picture expanded. "She has a lot of sway in the news industry, we need to be careful, she can change the public's opinion with one of her stories." Tsukauchi explained with a sigh. "I really hate the news."

"Her quirk is Landmine." I cut in. "She can turn anything, organic, inorganic and even living people into bombs."

All Might frowned. "I… Don't even want to know how you know that." "Best left unanswered." I shot back.

"Next is Koku Hanabata, AKA Trumpet." His picture was shown next. "Leader of the Hearts and Mind Party and a politician…" One of Tsukauchi's eyes twitched. "A news publisher and a Politician.."

"Police's worst nightmare." I joked. "His quirk is Incite. From what I know, he can enhance the people who follow him and from my theory, it takes a toll on his body." I explained. "But I have an idea on how to stop it, you have to show dominance and leadership to stop the people in their tracks." I remembered when Shigaraki did that with a simple glance.

"Great… As if we have enough to deal with." Gran complained with a grumble.

"Tomoyasu Chikazoku, AKA Skeptic." His picture was shown next. "Board member of Feel Good Inc. Very proficient hacker and second in command of the MLA." Tsukauchi crossed his arms.

I sighed. "One of the most dangerous… His quirk is Anthropomorph, he can turn any inanimate human sized object and turn it into a lookalike of any given person." I explained as I shivered from the reminder of his fight with Twice. "But what makes him dangerous isn't his quirk. It's his technical skills, he has information on the entire MLA on his laptop."

"And lastly, the grand commander, Rikiya Yotsubashi. AKA Re-Destro. CEO of the Detnerat Company." The picture of the commander was shown last.

"His quirk is called Stress. As the name implies, he can store up stress and turn it into raw power, it can turn him into a hulking monster and he's quite unstable… He's also devoted to Destro's goals and wishes to see them through." I explained and stared at the pictures of the leaders. "All of them are willing to die for the MLA and taking them one at a time will only cause issues. So we have to find a way to cut off all they're heads at the same time."

"We need to be smart… Skeptic has the information on his laptop you say?" Nezu asked me.

"Yes, but getting it away from him long enough to copy data off it?" I scoffed. "Good luck, that man has it on him 24/7 and probably has a lot of security on it."

"A man like that needs to rely on information to fight his battles." All Might commented. "We need to beat him at his own game."

Nezu hummed. "We could create a program to remotely copy the data from his devices undetected."

"The hard part is staying undetected." Tsukauchi shook his head. "Do not worry, I may have a solution to that." Nezu's smile in a way that I knew he had a plan.

"It's the smartest move, if he has all the information, we can use that." Gran Torino grinned as he got up.

"Oh and Midoriya, I have found the two individual you asked me to search for." Nezu told me and I perked up.

"Really?" I asked. "Yes! They're currently in Naruhata!" I blinked at Nezu's words.

Wasn't that where MHA Vigilantes took place… Oh yeah!

"Umm just a question… Does the name Crawler mean anything to you?" I looked at the detective who blinked.

"Wait.. how do you know that name?" He asked. "There was a spinoff series called Vigilantes and it featured Crawler, PopStep and Knuckleduster." I explained. "I don't know much but I'm curious about what happened to them."

Tsukauchi sighed as he rubbed his forehead. "I'm never gonna get over that… The Crawler has gone to the US to work under Captain Celebrity as a sidekick under a new name, Skycrawler." He told me.

I blinked, now that I thought about it… Yeah I remember seeing those videos about the vigilante turned sidekick. "What about Pop Step?" I asked him.

"She's… Well… She hasn't been seen in a long time, but Ms. Kazuho Haneyama was a victim of the Queen bee and she's already made a recovery, where she is now I'm not sure." Tsukauchi crossed his arms.

I frowned. She and Koichi never got together?! SERIOUSLY!

"As for Knuckleduster… No one has seen him in a long time." Tsukauchi finished.

Wow… So… That's what happened to the vigilantes…

"Thanks." I nodded to him as he nodded back and left. Gran already left without saying goodbye.

All Might's phone began to ring, thankfully it wasn't the A phone call is Here! Ringtone.

"Oh excuse me." He got up. "I'll speak to you later, Young Midoriya." He smiled as he left and checked the caller ID.

I looked at Nezu. "Umm do you think you can give me a pass so I can leave UA grounds for a bit?" I asked.

"So we can finally do this!?" Mei asked excitedly.

"Yup but I need to ask my dad to send some stuff from I-Island." Melissa said as she showed Mei what was on the computer screen. "And I need to ask principal Nezu about us making the device in one of the gyms."

"I can't wait!" Mei cheered.

"Though… I can't help but wonder how Izuku knew what to do…" Melissa hummed.

"Maybe you just needed a fresh pair of eyes." Mei stared at the screen with a wide grin.

"Maybe…" Melissa sighed and then flinched when her stomach rumbled. "... Umm let's get some food first before we continue with anything else."

"Aww…" Mei huffed but complied as she stomped out of their personal lab.

Melissa was about to follow but stopped and walked over to a worktable and stared at the pieces of armor laid out.

Melissa grabbed the helmet and stared into its eyes and smiled with determination.

"... Iron Valkyrie sounds about right." The blonde put the helmet down and walked out of the workshop.

I walked into the Dorm kitchen with four full bags of foods and ingredients that I got from the small market nearby, cooking always helped in soothing my nerves and I had a lot on my mind. So why not cook for everyone here?

Placing the bags down, I was thinking of what I would actually make. I remember all the time I watched Binging with Babish and I thought of the Ribwich, something simple, hmmm for those who want a different option... Fried green tomatoes!... I don't have green tomatoes... Regular tomatoes will do.

After I put the pans on the stove and turned on the heat, I got to work.

A while later, Bakugo stomped into the common room and stopped seeing almost all of class A peeking into the kitchen. "The fuck are you doing?" He asked. Pinky shushed him "quiet! You'll spook him!"

Walking over he leaned over and saw Deku cooking, huh, he never knew Deku could cook... was it from his past life?

"Did you know he could cook?" Pikachu asked, he was drooling at the smell.

"No.." Bakugo narrowed his eyes when Deku placed a plate full of sandwiches on the table, next to the plate was a ... what was that?

I then noticed my audience and blushed. "Oh hi.. I made dinner.." I laughed nervously.

Mina and Kaminari flew into the room and grabbed a sandwich to eat. "I was waiting!" Kaminari shouted as he took a bite and froze.

Mina looked at her friend concerned. "Kaminari?" The blond started to wolf down his sandwich and reached for another one but I slapped his hand.

"One more only, leave some for the rest." I said sternly. Mina looked at her sandwich and took a bite, she moaned and smiled blissfully. "Sooo goooddd."

Everyone came and grabbed one. I handed Koda the fried tomato, "Here." I winked. "It's tomato," Koda smiled and gave me a nod. He took a bite and he hummed in content.

Ochako moaned as she bit down on her sandwich. "Deku, where did you get this idea?"

I laughed, "That's a secret." I teased as I ate my sandwich and smiled at how good it was.

"You should like, cook more often if you make food this good!" Camie moaned as she took another bite of her sandwich.

"Try the fried tomatoes, they're very good." Tokoyami suggested as he took a bite of one of the fried tomatoes.

I smiled at my classmates. I was happy to see them enjoying my food.

"BIG BROTHER!" I felt something small hit my leg and I looked down to see Eri hugging it. "You're okay now." She looked up at me with her big red doe eyes.

Smiling wider, I leaned down and picked her up. "Yes I am, I'm sorry for not seeing you after your first day at school, why don't you tell me about it?" I asked while I poked her nose.

"Try this!" Toru immediately handed some of her sandwich for Eri to try, she took a bite and smiled with stuffed cheeks.

This was my family… If All for one tries to take them from me, He has another thing coming.

Melissa was in her room late at night, on her desk asleep, her computer active as it was going through sequences.

The computer beeping woke her up. "Ugh…" Melissa blinked hard as she sat up and adjusted her glasses. "Stop that alarm…"

"Very well." Melissa froze as she heard the female voice coming from her computer.

Taking off her glasses and rubbing her eyes, trying to wipe the sleep away, she put them back on and saw it.

"ATHENA?" "Good Evening Ms. Shield." ATHENA responded.

"It worked… It worked!" Melissa cheered. "My own AI! Oh man, I can't wait to tell Mei!"

"Ms. Shield if I may, I suggest you go into your bed and get some rest as it's currently 1:33 in the morning." ATHENA cut in. "And from what I can tell you've been asleep on your desk since 10 in the evening."

"... At least let me do some check up on you before that." Melissa typed in some commands and pressed enter. "Just need to make sure you don't go all evil on me."

"I will do my best to keep myself from enslaving humanity." ATHENA spoke in a somewhat joking tone.

"... Since when did you gain a sense of humor?" Melissa crossed her arms. "Since you programmed it into me with my sense of sarcasm and my wit." ATHENA responded.

"Now I know how Tony feels…" Melissa groaned. "I'm gonna sleep… Good night ATHENA."

"Good Night Melissa."
