Chapter 12: Make a name

As they walked to the restaurant, Momo rested her head on his shoulder.

"I almost forgot that you could adjust your body temperature with your quirk, that way you're still cool even if its hot," she said.

"Um…. yes…

They made it to the restaurant. It was a fancy place called Huang's Cusine. It was a Japanese themed setting inside, and the waiters had on interesting uniforms. The tables were built for 2-4 people at a time. There were also a few paintings and drawings of certain pro heroes. Shoto pulled a chair out for Momo.

"Why thank you sir," she said with a smile.

The two of them sat across from one another. Shoto was trying to find a way to break the ice. And no not literally.

"Um…. I like your hair?"

"Thanks. Mina did it nicely. She may be a weirdo but she certainly knows style."

"Well you certainly are beautiful, inside and out," Shoto said.

Momo blushed at the compliment.

"So what do you hope to do with your hero career?" she asked him.

"Well… one thing I plan to do is restore the Todoroki name after what my father did. It really left a hole in the family. I plan to make people realize that I'm nothing like my father."

"Well I certainly see that. You're a kind, caring noble soul who wants to make people feel safe."

Shoto smiled at that compliment.

"Aside from being a hero, I possibly want to be a teacher and teach at U.A," Momo stated, "My grandmother did that when she was younger, teaching the new generations about herowork and quirks."

"I think you would do great in that field, because you're very smart and attentive."

"Thank you."

Momo placed her hand on top of Shoto's and smiled at him.

As they were talking the food came by. Someone then rushed into the restaurant with a sword in his hand. The guy with the sword went to the cashier.

"Gimme all your money and don't make any funny movements!" he said, "The rest of you freeze and nobody gets hurt!"

Everyone did as they were told. Shoto saw a glass of water.

"Hey you! Freeze!"

"I'm thirsty," Shoto said.

"I said FREEZE!" The robber shouted again.

"I'm just getting a drink." Shoto said as he slowly started taking a drink of his water.

"Okay…. You had your drink…. Now I'm just gonna take this money and be on my way, and while you're doing that all I want is for you to-"

"I know. I know... freeze!" Shoto said as he shot a piller of ice at the crook, freezing him.

As the officers walked in they saw the crook already frozen in ice. They then turned to Shoto who showed them his hero license. A crowd of people surrounded him cheering for him. Momo approached the boy and kissed his cheek.

Shoto then turned as red as the scar on his face.

"Thank you for saving us Shoto," the owner said, "You're a greater hero than that deadbeat Endeavor."

"Thank you. I plan to be absolutely nothing like him." Shoto told him.

Later the two of them were walking home talking about the scenario. Momo was no doubt impressed with the way Shoto handled that villain.

"That was amazing Shoto," Momo told him with a smile, "For you to be able to freeze the villain in their track without giving them frostbite is impressive."

"Well Izuku has given me pointers on my quirk, and they were very helpful."

"Midoriya is a good friend to you isn't he?"

"He is. If it weren't for him, I would've never used fire again. He's dependable.

As they were talking Momo tripped and fell on Shoto.

"Are you Alright?" she asked.

Shoto was screaming inside his mind.

'Wait... if I stare at her like this maybe she'll understand how I feel,' he thought, 'Yea... as if.'

"I heard it Shoto," Momo said.

"Heard what?" Shoto asked.

'Dear god! Did it work?!'

"I heard your thoughts," Momo said, Remember when I got hit by one of Hatsumes inventions?"

Shoto nodded

"Well... it gave me the ability to hear your thoughts, specifically." She told him, "I heard your thoughts about Shinso being Aizawa's love child, the hand crusher theory, and the one about-"

"I get it…. Please just stop exposing me…" Shoto said.

'I see. So even he gets embarrassed by those thoughts.'

Shoto got closer to Momo.

"So since you can hear my thoughts, listen closely. What I think is directed towards you."

'Yaomomo I've always admired…'

The effects of the invention wore off. Momo could no longer hear his thoughts.

"I think the effects wore off," she said.

"Well… let me do this," Shoto said.

He put his hand on Momo's face, brought her close and closed the distance with a kiss on the lips. Fireworks went off in his head as he did this. After a few seconds he broke the kiss for air.

"I'm not very good with words Yaomomo, but I hope my actions were clear enough."

Momo smiled and hugged Shoto.

"Yes, they were very clear, and I feel the same way!"

"I'm glad."

"Also. Call me Momo."

"Very well… Momo."

The two of them kissed again. Little did they know that a few students were spying on them, along with KAtsuki who was forced to tag along.

"FINALLY!" Katsuki shouted.

Meanwhile in an unknown location, Hisashi was talking with a stranger who was in the shadows. The stranger pressed a button and a big capsule came out. It was some kind of tactical battle suit.

"So, do we have a deal?" the stranger asked.

"So I go to I-Island, find some kind of device, and use it to kill All Might?" Hisashi asked.

"Yes," the stranger told him, "Another candidate I selected may not make the cut. But you on the other hand, your hatred towards All Might combined with the device will help you take back what you lost."

"Yes…."

"And one more thing. A gift for good luck."

The stranger then put his hand on top of Hisashi's head. Hisashi felt funny for a little bit, but then the feeling stopped, and he felt power.

"The power….."

"Not just any power. The power to steal other's quirks and use them for yourself. Find someone who's quirk will suit your needs and take it from them."

Hisashi thought of a person. He then smiled evilly.

"I know just the one," he said.

Later on he went to a prison where Chisaki was held at. He went to visit his cell.

"What do you want?" Chisaki asked, "I don't have anymore quirk bullets thanks to that boy."

"Oh that's ok," Hisashi said, "I have something else I'd like from you though."

He walked over to Chisaki and placed his hand on top of his head, stealing his quirk. Chisaki started screaming in pain. Officers were rushing down to the room to see what was going on. But they were too late. Hisashi then turned to the men and used the quirk Overhaul, disabling all of them and then destroying part of the prison. Hisashi walked out completely unharmed before smirking to himself, as his hair started turned white.

"Soon, everyone in this city will know how it feels to live in my world," he said, "A world without love. A world without peace. A world. Without All Might."
