"More recent reports coming in are that three more bodies were found just days after reported missing. All three bodies, claimed as deceased, were college students from Musutafu, each with a cell enhancing quirk. All female. Detectives are theorizing that they were specifically targeted…"

Izuku sighed as he listened to the news report. The kidnappings were becoming more commonplace, and Izuku didn't have enough information to go after the culprit. He had bits and pieces, but it wasn't enough.

He was worried. The students at UA could be targeted as well. He'd have to watch over them, just in case.

The most unnerving bit of information was that each body kidnapped had a cell enhancing quirk. What this meant, only Izuku had a slight idea.

He didn't like what his mind correlated.

He felt Eri and Kota tug onto his sleeve when they noticed a man with a mochi cart. He was glad he had Eri with him. While Aizawa and Chiyo had a slight idea what to call Eri's quirk, Izuku knew her quirk was a type of cell enhancing quirk, it just worked differently.

An idea came into mind. He dialed Naomasa.

"Hey, QL, what's up?"

"Nao. Do you remember when I found Eri?" The girl looked up at Izuku when he mentioned her name.

"Yeah, she was running from a bird guy, right?"

"Yeah. Do you mind if I meet you at the station? I need to see pictures of the bodies recovered from the kidnappings."

"Say no more. Come on up."

"Great, thanks." He hung up the phone, and paid for Eri's mango mochi and Kota's chocolate mochi. After they finished, he took them to his motorcycle (with little cabs on the sides of the vehicle), and drove to Naomasa's office.

"So you think Eri's kidnapper was at fault for the kidnappings?" Naomasa was a bit skeptical.

"I don't have sound evidence, but I need to see the bodies."

Naomasa handed him a file, and Izuku went to studying them.

After fifteen minutes, Izuku gasped. His mind made connections.

He laid out each photo, and grabbed a red marker. Izuku circled the arms, legs, and necks.

"Nao. What do you see?"

"I see my photos are ruined."

"No, look at what I've circled. What do you see?"

After a few seconds, Naomasa looked at Izuku. "I see burn marks and razor scars…" His mind made a connection.

Izuku nodded. "Now, they're similar to Eri's. Not only that, but burn marks?"

Naomasa shrugged his shoulders. "Alot of people in the city have fire like quirks. The Todoroki's, The Katsuki's and even a couple of villains."

Izuku shook his head. "No, these look to sprawled out to be fire like. With burn scars from fire users, there would be deep magenta and purple colours, along with an almost fluid like burn. These are crimson red, and sprawled out in a messy fashion."

Naomasa arched a brow. "What are you implying?"

"I've heard of only one criminal in my time of vigilantism. Several C-list villains have mentioned him before."

"Who is it?"

Izuku looked towards Eri, who was playing with a dinosaur toy. "They say that their boss would make them explode if they were to go back. Each had similar burns on their arms to the victims in the photos."

He looked back to Naomasa. "They call him Overhaul. I know nothing of his mission or what he does, but I have been studying him as of late. If he is the one involved with the kidnappings, we need to stop him."


At the end of the day, the two decided to look out for any suspicious activity, in case the kidnapper makes a return.

Currently, he was in his office, his head on his desk while Eri and Kota stayed with Aizawa.

He was also currently on the verge of slamming his head on the desk until he passed out.

"Tell us."

"No."

"Tell us."

"No."

"C'mon, tell us!"

"Dear Lord, no."

"You have to tell us."

"Definitely not."

Kirishima and Shinso's constant badgering made him want to take his capture pellets and cover his face with the substance.

"Why not?!"

A heavy groan left his vocal cords. "What is it you're asking?"

Kirishima grinned. "Izuku, we all saw the kiss Yui planted on your lips. There's no way you two aren't a couple."

"Oh yeah. Definitely not telling you."

"But Izuku! Aren't you interested?"

"That's none of your concern."

Shinso smirked. He looked to Kirishima. "We'll find out sooner or later. I have a plan."

Izuku had to stifle the crescendo of a groan that threatened to leave his throat.

"Fine." Kirishima turned to Izuku. "You got off easy, for now." The two sat on the chairs in silence, smirks passed between the two.

Izuku looked up. "And, pray tell, explain just why you two are still in here?"

Kirishima and Shinso refused to answer, prompting Izuku to stand up. Izuku looked to the two students. "If you'll excuse me."

The duo nodded.

Izuku walked to a storage closet near the desk, and used a handkerchief to wipe a specific area of the door. Kirishima and Shinso sat rigid, unsure of what was going on.

SLAM! CRACK!

Both students stood up, alarmed, when Izuku slammed his head through the door, leaving a large hole where his head was. What was more alarming was the look of tired rage coming from his eyes.

Before Izuku could say a word, the two students booked it, not wanting to see what would happen to them.

Izuku sighed in relief. Maybe now I'll have a chance to work.

"Midoriya!"

Izuku was tempted to grab onto the door and do exactly what he did to the storage door.


Izuku walked through his apartment doors to find the lights completely off. Narrowing his eyes, he grabbed a knife from his cloak, the lesson with Fuyumi learned.

Before he could move, the lights turned on, or rather an ominous flame, revealing a smirking Todoroki, Kirishima, and Shinso, and in front of the three sat an empty chair.

Izuku did not like where this was going.

"Hey! Come sit with us! We have some questions pertaining to school!"

Izuku dropped everything on the floor, and stepped backwards, only to find a grinning Nezu, who promptly shut the door behind him, much to Izuku's fear and chagrin.

"Nez? What are you doing here?"

The principal chirped with a sadistic grin. "What a question indeed! Now, why don't you have a seat, Midoriya? I'm sure any and all questions shall be answered soon enough."

Izuku's eyes widened slightly. There's no way all three are on Nezu's plan.

Shaking his head in defeat, he placed himself in the empty seats near Todoroki, his cell already in hand with Tsukauchi on speed dial.

Izuku felt like he was being preyed on by a pride of lions, if the demonic grins didn't spell that out. Izuku groaned. He was seriously not paid enough for this, and he was off the clock.

"Ahem." Kirishima forced him from his thoughts. "Welcome, Izuku Midoriya, to your first ever interrogation! Now, care to introduce yourself."

"No."

"Good! Now, Todoroki here has informed us of some interesting news! Take it away, Half and Half!"

Todoroki shifted his sadistic grin to his usual stoic personality. "Thank you, Kirishima. Now, during lunch, I have found that Momo Yaoyorozu is constantly talking about the well known vigilante, Quirkless, and even has him as a screensaver."

The other three faux gasped. Izuku facepalmed.

Todoroki nodded. "Indeed. Now, we all know that he and Yui have shared a kiss, but the question is:" he looked at Izuku. "Did you share a similar kiss to Momo? Or are you seeing many potential women?"

Nezu leaned forward. "Wow, Quirkless. You need answers. Your love life isn't going to develop on it's own."

Izuku stared at the principal with blank eyes. "Don't you have a school to run?"

"Yes. However, school is closed. Don't change the subject."

Izuku rubbed his temples. "If I answer your questions will you promise me you'll leave me alone?!"

The four looked to the other, and after silent discussion, nodded.

Izuku sighed. "Fine. Yes, Momo and I did have a kiss many nights ago. Yes, I'm interested in both Yui and Momo."

The four nodded as Kirishima wrote notes.

Shinso stood up. "I have something that will help us with this." He walked to a hall and wheeled in a white board. "We will write notes on girls you are interested in. Then, we will discuss how you will take them on dates."

"Who said I wanted to take them on dates? And how long has the board been there?"

Nezu chopped Izuku on the back of his head, prompting a silence out of him.

Kirishima grinned. "Alright. So…" He wrote Yui on one section of the board, and Momo on the other. "...what do you like about Momo?"

Izuku wanted a villain to barge in and kidnap them all. "If I answer this will you all go away?"

The four laughed.

"I thought so."

Todoroki stepped to the board as well. "Answer the questions."

Izuku groaned. "Fine. I like Yui because she's gentle, and she is strong as hell."

Murmurs of 'Good, good' prompted him to go on. "She's really pretty, and she has this energy I'm just drawn to. She's also really cute when she realizes she can't find the right word to voice her thoughts."

The four nodded. Nezu stepped up. "Good. Now onto Momo."

Izuku didn't hesitate. "She's insanely smart, and she can kick some serious ass. She is very fun to talk to, and she's beautiful as all get out." He was surprised he was allowed to even say these things in front of Nezu.

Then again, he is encouraging this.

Kirishima nodded, capping the marker. "Good. Now, lets move on to other girls in 1-A."

Shinso took over. "I noticed he called Jirou "cute." Is she a crush of his as well?" Kirishima nodded. "He was the first girl he called cute when I asked him. Add her to the board." Shinso nodded as he did so.

Todoroki grabbed the pen. "What about Uraraka?"

The other students and principal looked at each other, and shook their heads. "No," Kirishima started. "He's never talked about her. I wouldn't think so."

"I'm right here!" Izuku cried out in exasperation.

The four looked at him. "So," Shinso spoke up. "Do you like Uraraka?" Izuku shook his head. "No. She's just a student to me. I help her out, but I'm definitely not interested."

Nezu smiled warmly. "Can you tell us why?"

Izuku nodded. "I just don't feel anything when I think of her. There's no spark in there."

"What about Ashido?" Shinso asked. He was promptly punched by Kirishima. He chuckled. "I'm just kidding. I know she's your girl Kirishima."

Todoroki spoke. "What about Asui?"

They all looked at Izuku, who was sporting a small blush. The four looked at each other, and agreed. "He likes Asui."

"Nezu," Izuku called out. The principal looked at him. "Why are you here? The students I understand, but you? You're an adult, aren't you?"

Nezu laughed. "I'm an animal, I'm not human, Midoriya. So I can be here. The three agreed that I could be here. As to why I'm here, that's for us to know and you to not." He went back to the discussion.

At last, they went to the board after determining the ladies he was to date. Kirishima grinned. "Okay, we have Kodai, Yaoyorozu, Jirou, and Asui. We don't know why he likes the last two, but that's for us to find out right now." He looked to Izuku, and faltered since the vigilante was asleep. "Todoroki, if you please." Todoroki nodded and formed a small icicle, to which he placed behind Izuku's ear. They all laughed when Izuku shot up, falling out of his seat.

"Not cool, guys." Izuku grumbled as he sat back into the chair. "Are we done?"

"Nope."

"That's what I thought."

Todoroki cleared his throat. "Why do you like Jirou and Asui?"

Izuku blushed. "They're both insanely cute."

"That's all?" Nezu claimed. "I'd imagine there's more to that."

Izuku groaned. "Fine. When Jirou smiles, it lights me on fire. When she's sparring, I just want to wrap my arms around her. She's determined to be a hero, and she's dedicated to any job she holds." Kirishima nodded as he wrote this down.

"Asui, she's just so adorable when she croaks. She is amazing, and I just want to be there with her."

Shinso nodded as he wrote this down.

"Alright, Midoriya. I expect you to make a move in two weeks, otherwise Midnight will help you." Izuku froze as Nezu spoke. "You've been warned." They all watched as Nezu left the apartment, leaving the four teenagers to their devices.

Kirishima chuckled. "He's weird, but he is really nice." The other two nodded in agreement. Wrapping it up, the three agreed that they would help Izuku whenever possible. Ending it for the night, they took a picture of the board and erased all of it.

Shinso grinned darkly with Kirishima. "Part one of our plan is complete." The two looked to Izuku. "You aren't ready for part two."

Izuku wanted to die, if he didn't already out of embarrassment.


Alright! So, Nezu, Kirishima, Shinso, and Todoroki are acting as the ultimate wingmen. Writing them involved with Izuku's love life is insanely fun. And yes, this has to do with the story and its development.
