AN: Thanks for all the interest and reviews everyone!

Step 9: Time to introduce the parents to their new daughters.

The next morning Izuku woke up in his dorm room. The fact that he was in his bed confirmed that the events of the previous day weren't actually a dream. This was further confirmed when he sat up and saw two girls' shirts thrown in the corner, discarded after he soaked them with his tears.

Feeling a strange sense of relief, Izuku stood up and stretched. Despite everything that happened, he felt better than he had felt for a long time. Even the constant pain in his arm felt duller. He also felt lighter than he had ever felt, like Mochi had used her quirk directly on his heart.

After stretching he walked over to his closet and pulled out his training clothes. Despite the previous day's events, Chako had already told him they were going on a morning run before they began training so that he could control all of his quirks properly. As much as it hurt that she insulted All Might's training, she did raise several good points that he was forced to agree with.

If nothing else, the ability to turn off Danger Sense would make his life so much easier.

He descended into the lobby and saw Tenya waiting there, as well as Chako and, to his surprise, Neko.

"Morning Zuku!"

"Good morning!" Izuku lightly waved. "I didn't realize you were joining us."

"Of course! Compress was a brutal teacher, and made sure I had a solid exercise routine! After all, how else are you supposed to evade heroes?" Neko flashed him a bright grin, causing Izuku to laugh nervously.

"I guess that makes sense." He admitted. "Shall we get going?"

"Yes! Chako has already come up with your revised training schedule and was nice enough to share it with me so I can help you keep it," Tenya smiled. "I of course agreed to help in any way I can. I remember what happened the first semester, after all."

"I've gotten better!" Izuku protested weakly.

"You have! But there is always room for improvement!"

As they finished their morning jog and approached the dorms they began to slow down. Neko and Tenya waved at the two before they broke off to head inside, while Chako directed Izuku to follow her.

"Rara should be waiting for us at Gym Gamma for the rest of our training," She explained. "She's enlisted help to teach you how to control Danger Sense."

"That sounds nice," Izuku admitted. While he appreciated the quirk in a fight, he had to admit that the constant low-level buzzing in his head had contributed to his desire to leave UA. Even when he was completely alone, the quirk was a constant presence, warning him when other people are in danger as well.

As they entered the gym, Izuku saw Rara was working with another familiar face: Mei Hatsume. As she heard the two enter, Rara looked up from what Izuku could only describe as a massive Gatling Gun and waved at them.

"Morning guys!"

"Oh! It's one of my favorite clients!" Mei said excitedly. "You didn't tell me he'd be the one helping us test my newest baby!"

"I may have thought you'd just assume it was him?" Rara said with a hint of embarrassment in her voice.

Mei had a thoughtful look on her face for a moment before she smiled. "True! I should have guessed it was him."

"W-whats this?" Izuku asked nervously.

"It's my newest baby, of course!" Mei beamed proudly. "It's supposed to help heroes train their reflexes so they can dodge better! It fires up to one hundred and twenty rubber balls a minute, and can either be guided manually or, thanks to Rara here, it has tracking capabilities!"

"You added tracking to this thing?" Izuku looked at Rara in disbelief.

Rara simply shrugged. "Mei and I worked on something similar back home, so I may have had a spare tracking module in my bag?"

"And you get to help us test it!" Mei exclaimed. "This is exciting!"

"Aren't you worried it's gonna explode or something?" Izuku asked nervously.

"Nope!" Mei and Rara said simultaneously.

Chako laughed. "Well, this may be overkill, but if Rara says it's ok, I don't see the problem."

"Don't I get a say?" Izuku asked, but to no avail.

"Training begins now!" Mei said as she completely ignored his question and pressed a giant red button.

Izuku saw Chako wrap herself in her Galactic Shroud as she leaped out of the way, leaving him alone as the giant cannon turned menacingly toward him as it began to spin up. Feeling Danger Sense screaming in his head, Izuku wrapped himself in Full Cowling and took off. He bounced around the room and watched as the cannon shot a continuous stream of rubber balls, demolishing all of the cement and concrete constructs in the gym.

"A-are you sure these are made out of rubber?" Izuku asked incredulously as he saw the impact craters the balls left in one of the walls.

"Yep! I made sure of it myself!" Rara yelled her reassurance. "You still don't want to get hit though!"

"I see that!" Izuku shouted back.

Izuku continued flying around the gym for several minutes before the gun finally ran out of ammo, several loud clicks telling him that he was finally safe. With a sigh, he dropped off of his perch on the ceiling to rejoin the three girls.

"Ok, so now we know Danger Sense is working properly," Chako began before she walked up to Izuku and leaned into him. "Time for the next step."

"W-what are you doing?" Izuku felt his face heating up from the sudden proximity.

"Calming you down," Chako said playfully as she brought her hand up to his hair and began playing with it.

"It looks like you're doing the opposite!" Rara called out.

"S-shut up!" Chako responded before turning her attention back to Izuku. "Just take a deep breath Izu. In… out…"

Izuku followed her instructions and after his initial embarrassment wore off he felt himself relaxing as the other One For All holder gently played with his hair, following her instructions as she made him take steady deep breaths. He found himself leaning into the girl when suddenly a rubber ball hit him in the chest, sending him flying into a wall.

"Oww…" Izuku complained as he fell out of the crater onto his knees.

"You didn't sense that one coming?" Rara asked.

"No, I didn't," Izuku admitted as he struggled to his feet.

"See?" Chako said with a smug look on her face. "The easiest way to keep Danger Sense in check is to just keep yourself calm and relaxed. If you don't think you're in a situation where you may need it, the quirk turns itself off, and you can just- be yourself without worry."

"I would like that," Izuku admitted. "Ever since it came in I've been feeling more anxious, knowing there's people out there I could be helping-"

Rara took Izuku's hand. "Mido, we know."

"That's why we're doing this," Chako said softly.

"I know," Izuku smiled warmly at the two girls. He took Chako's hand and gave them both a gentle squeeze before releasing them. Taking a deep breath he looked at Mei. "Ok, I want to try without their help."

"You got it!" Mei loaded another rubber ball into the cannon and aimed it. "I'm not gonna warn ya before I shoot!"

"Of course!" Izuku said.

Izuku stood there and took a deep breath. He began recalling all the images from the past day. He imagined Chako's fingers running through his hair, and recalled the faces of the girls who literally traveled across dimensions to save him from himself. Each familiar, yet distinct in their own way. He felt the buzzing in his head fading away to nothingness as he found himself looking forward to making even more memories with the six girls.

And then suddenly he felt his legs collapsing out from under him as another ball connected, sending him to the ground.

"Izu!"

"Mido!"

"It's ok!" Izuku pushed himself up to a sitting position, a big smile on his face. "It worked! I-I think I can turn Danger Sense off! At least temporarily!"

"Give it some time, and you'll be able to do it even longer," Chako assured him. "For me, it's like a light switch that I can turn on and off at will."

"What kind of images do you think of to help you calm down?" Izuku asked curiously.

Chako felt her face turning red as her permanent blush started spreading. "Th-that's private!" She insisted.

"I bet it's Mido. It's Mido, isn't it?" Rara lightly jabbed her counterpart.

"I don't mind," Izuku said. "I used my memories of you six, after all."

"Eeep!" Both girls found themselves blushing furiously.

Later that afternoon, Nezu had called for another meeting with Izuku and his dimension-hopping companions. At the appointed time, the group made their way to the main building of UA. Once inside they found the conference room that was normally reserved for staff meetings and opened the door. Inside, they saw Nezu sitting at the head of the table, while All Might, Endeavor, Best Jeanist, and, to everyone's surprise, Lady Nagant sat alongside one side of the table.

"So you did come!" Ochako said happily.

"Turns out your crazy idea actually worked," Kaina said with a cynical smile. "These guys, at least, seemed very interested in my story."

"It was a lot to take in," Toshinori admitted. "But it was eye-opening."

"Indeed. Let's just say it's a very good thing that the HPSC is currently in a state of disarray and many of the people responsible are currently out of the picture," Nezu agreed.

"Do I want to know?" Mochi asked.

"Nope! Everything is fine!" Ochako said with a too-wide smile on her face.

"We'll get the answer out of you later, you know," Chako said.

"Try me!"

"We'll get Zuzu to ask you."

"W-wait! That's going too far!" Ochako protested.

"Ochako, is it really bad?" Izuku asked.

Kaina laughed at the antics of the group on the other side of the table. She could tell Ochako was a threat from the few minutes she spent with her, but seeing this side of her painted her in a completely different light. "Let's just say the HPSC isn't as clean as you think, and your friend there convinced me to expose them."

"Really?" Several voices called out in surprise.

"Don't worry!" Toshinori tried to assure them. "We'll take care of it! You just focus on more important business!"

"Indeed," Nezu turned toward the students. "First off, I did get the HPSC to agree to give you all your own unique provisional licenses. We'll have to take photos for each of you, as well as your hero names, but in the next few days you will all legally be provisional heroes."

"Um, excuse me," Rara raised her hand. "Is this ok? I mean, I was a support student - I wasn't supposed to transfer to the hero course until next-"

"Of course it's ok," Nezu assured her. "Your actions over the past twenty-four hours have proven all of your heroic natures and shown you worthy of becoming heroes. You will also be assigned to class 2-A when this crisis is over and the new semester starts."

"What about our own identities?" Chako asked.

"Well, about that," Nezu gave a toothy smile. "Since the government is a mess, I don't think anyone would be surprised if certain paperwork turned up that revealed Ochako Uraraka was actually one of six identical twins. It's a very strange coincidence, but I'm sure that in a few weeks that will be found and sorted out."

"You can do that?" Occhan asked.

"As much as we would like to throw some of you in jail," Endeavor glared at Ochako, who glared back. "Given the current crisis, it is best if we have you on our side, rather than having to deal with another All For One holder."

"And you know what? I'm planning on being a great hero to spite people like you," Ochako spat out. "Because the system is designed to make villains like me."

"She's right, you know." Nagant pointed out.

"I wish more people had your attitude," Jeanist admitted. "I have my own reservations, but between Nagant yesterday and you today, they are rapidly diminishing."

"Thank you!"

"Moving on!" Toshinori quickly said, cutting Endeavor off before he could speak again. "This still leaves the major issue of dealing with Tomura Shigaraki. Young Uraraka, I hear you have the ability to track his whereabouts?"

"Yep!" Ochako concentrated slightly and called upon Search. "He is still in a camp near Tartarus. I don't have all of the League locked in with my quirk, but all of the ones I do have are in the same area."

"I'm glad to hear he hasn't decided to assault UA directly, now that young Midoriya is back."

"It would be foolish. If they decided to attack UA they would most certainly lose."

"But the casualties would be horrific," Jeanist pointed out.

"You have plans for that, right?" Rara asked Nezu.

"I do! But they require time to take effect. Time we wouldn't have if we didn't know he was coming."

"You want me to keep Search locked onto Tenko all the time, don't you?"

"Indeed. I know it will be annoying, but think about all of the civilians we currently have housed here."

Ochako didn't need to look at the others to know Izuku and all of her other selves were staring at her. Letting out a loud sigh, she conceded that point. "Fine, I'll keep a lock on him and let you know if anything changes."

"How are we going to deal with his quirk, anyway?" Mochi asked.

"Oh, that's simple!" Rara explained. "We just need to pin him long enough for Ochako to steal Decay!"

"I'm going to need to steal his Hyper-Regeneration as well. I should probably steal Search from him too, and give that back." Ochako put an index finger to her lip as she thought about it. "Those are the big ones, after that he'll be much easier to stick in jail!"

"What are you planning on doing with a Hyper-Regeneration quirk?" Endeavor asked suspiciously.

"Oh! I'm going to add it to One For All!" Ochako smiled happily as she pointed to Izuku.

"What?" Toshinori said. "You shouldn't go anywhere near One For All with your quirk!"

"The vestiges know," Izuku replied softly. "They are ok with her adding Hyper-Regeneration to the quirk stockpile."

Toshinori sputtered, before letting out a loud sigh. "I guess, if that's the case, I have no room to talk."

"Nope! And it'll protect Zuku!"

"A fair point," Jeanist agreed. "If you had a quirk like that six years ago, you wouldn't be in the situation you're in, after all."

"Please don't remind me," Toshinori grumbled before looking at the assembled students. "Do you think you're strong enough to restrain Shigaraki long enough for young Uraraka to steal those quirks?"

"Yep!" Chako said. "Izu's already showing signs of improving on his own training, and we still have the advantage of surprise - there may be two copies of All For One currently, but they don't know we have two copies of One For All!"

"They may know about my copy of All For One though," Ochako admitted. "I may have been a bit overdramatic when I pulled that bomb quirk out of Kaina."

"For what it's worth, I appreciate that," Kaina said. "I very much prefer being alive."

"What about the rest of you?" Jeanist asked the others. "You just have your normal quirks, will that be enough?"

"Of course!" They all said, fierce looks on their faces.

"I'll need to work with Mei, but I have a few ideas about how to update all of our grapple launchers to help us restrain him. I'll also replace all of our support cables with ones that can break away if he uses Decay on our cables."

"You realize this is going to be an extremely dangerous operation, even with these precautions, don't you?"

"Of course!" Mochi stood up. "But Deku was willing to risk everything - he tried to run away because he wanted to protect us. We didn't let him, and now it's our turn to show him what we can do!"

"Excellent," Nezu said. "We're looking into receiving some international help. When they arrive, we'll plan our attack."

"Really?" Izuku asked. "What kind of help?"

"Let's just say some heroes from the United States may be joining us," Toshinori said cryptically.

After dinner, most of 1-A cleared out of the common area, leaving Izuku and the group of Ochakos alone. There, they sat together, all sharing the same nervous energy as they waited for their parents to arrive. Every sound caused one or more of them to jump and turn, only to relax as they discovered it was just a classmate moving through the building.

Finally, the front door opened, and seven pairs of eyes turned to the door as Toshinori entered, followed by their parents.

Ochako felt herself breaking as she saw them for the first time in twelve years. They were older than she remembered, but there, in the entryway, stood her parents. Alive.

Suddenly, she wasn't the successor to All For One. She was simply a four-year-old girl again, standing in front of a collapsed apartment building, calling out for her parents. "Mommy! Daddy!" Activating a speed quirk, she closed the gap in a heartbeat and pulled her parents into an inescapable hug. "You're alive! You're ok!"

"Of course we are Chako," Miu reached out to stroke her daughter's hair and comfort her. "Why wouldn't we be?"

Katashi was about to comfort his daughter when he suddenly noticed the other five girls on the couch, all looking exactly like his daughter. "Miu, something funny's going on."

"What is- oh!" Miu said.

"Surprise?" Mochi said in embarrassment.

"Honey," Miu asked the girl attached to her. "Are you really our little Chako?"

"Of course, I'm your Chako," Ochako whimpered. "I may not be Mochi, but I'm still your little girl. Please-"

"All of us are," Occhan said.

"Honey, can you let us go so we can sit down?" Katashi gently asked Ochako.

"Y-yeah, sorry," Ochako released her parents and stepped back, wiping her tears away. "I just - it's been so long."

"Let's sit down and then you can explain everything,"

The three parents sat down on one of the couches before Ochako reattached herself to her mother, and they began explaining what happened. When Ochako explained how her parents died, Miu and Katashi were shocked, and finally understood how she acted as they adjusted themselves and held her close. As the other Ochakos explained their own history, they simply listened, trying to digest everything.

When they were done a heavy silence filled the air until Katashi finally spoke. "So you mean to tell me that now we have six daughters?"

"Don't worry dad, I'll help raise money!"

"No, you won't!" Four of the others yelled at Neko immediately. Rather than back down, she simply stuck her tongue out at them.

"We'll help as much as we can," Rara explained. "I'll try selling some of my designs-"

"-and I'm sure we can do work studies now that we have our provisional licenses!" Chako added. "We'll do our best to earn money to help!"

"Don't forget we'll be going after Shigaraki soon," Ochako said from her position nestled between her parents. "We may be able to convince the Japanese government to give us enough money for all of us to get through school comfortably and more once we deal with him!"

Inko sat in a daze for a few minutes, only half hearing the discussion as she processed everything that she heard, but without warning, she bolted upright and attached herself to her son as tears streamed down her face. "I'm so glad these girls were able to bring you back to UA! You have such amazing friends Izu!"

"More than friends-" Izuku said as his face started heating up. "-I'm actually dating Mochi. AndImaybefallingfortheothersaswell."

"What?" Inko pulled back to stare at her son.

"It's true," Neko said. "We asked if he'd be ok dating all of us at once, and he agreed!"

"Not all at once!" Mochi said quickly! "We're all going to take it slow and figure things out!"

Inko and Miu suddenly looked at each other with a glint in their eyes, while Katashi looked like he was ready to read the riot act to Izuku before his wife grabbed his sleeve.

"Honey, not now."

"But Miu!"

"If these girls are strong enough to cross dimensions to find Izuku, they must really love him and believe in him. I don't think they need our help to protect them."

Katashi crossed his arms "But what about the tradition of scaring the boy silly?"

Despite her tears, Inko managed to throw a menacing glare at the man. "I think my son's been through enough in the past few weeks. He doesn't need his girlfriends' father intimidating him right now."

"Fine," Katashi gave a resigned sigh before glaring at Izuku, "But you'd better ask me before you ask my girls to marry you!"

"And no kids until after you graduate!" Miu added and was very satisfied to hear all six girls squeak and turn bright red.

"W-why don't we move over to the dining area," Mochi said, trying to calm herself down and not think about what her parents just said. "One of our classmates made a cake!"

"And I bought a bunch of Mochi!" Neko added quickly.

"You didn't steal that, did you?" Occhan asked the other girl.

"No! I bought it, I promise!"

"I think we have a lot to learn about all of our new daughters," Miu said to her husband as she watched the girls interact with each other.

"It sure seems like it," Katashi said as he stood up, looking over the girls, a fond smile appearing on his face. "But it sure seems like they're all our little Chakos."

Aizawa looked at the clock on the monitor. 2 AM. With a sigh, he stood up from his desk and left his room. He needed some coffee.

Making his way to the kitchen, he began a fresh pot of coffee when he heard a strange whirring noise behind him. Turning around, he saw a glowing blue portal, before Ochako Uraraka stepped through. She was wearing thick goggles and a lab coat and had a strange white plastic gun in her hands.

Aizawa let out a pained sigh. "No vacancy."

"What?" Ochako squeaked out in surprise as she spun to look at the teacher.

Aizawa glared at the girl. "We've already got plenty of Urarakas here, we don't have room for any more."

"Wait? There's a bunch of me here already?" Ochako asked in confusion. "Does that mean Izuku's alive here?"

"Yes. They already went out and saved the Problem Child from himself, and then they decided to get comfortable here."

"H-how many Ochakos are there?"

"Six," Aizawa sighed. "Which is five too many already."

"Eep! That's so many!"

"As I said, we're full. I get that your situation sucks, but I'm sure there's more Midoriyas out there."

With a sad look on her face, Ochako lifted the gun and pulled the trigger, opening a portal on a nearby wall. Hanging her head, she reluctantly walked through the portal before it closed.

Aizawa let out a pained sigh and turned to look at the brewing coffee. He wasn't looking forward to this becoming a regular thing.
