Now, this chapter is all about Cortney but yet not really you'll see what I mean.
Chapter cover- Cortney in shock like she's about cry.
Ch.26- I'm not hiding anything
June 3rd
"Is everyone here?" Pony looks to make sure everyone in both the Hero courses is present.
"Alright so as some of you know, Cortney's birthday is a week away. And I want to throw her a surprise party and I know all your help." Pony reminds everyone why they're here.
"I need you guys to help me out while keeping Cortney busy and off my tail-" Reiko warms Pony that Cortney coming.
"I got her!" Tetsu runs out of the room to intercept Cortney.
"Thanks for the heads-up Reiko. Anyway, Cortney isn't dense so she probably knows something is up already, so we all need to work together in order for this to work." Pony begs out.
"Geeze, that doesn't make it sound any easier." Denki comments, at this point Tetsu comes back while trying to catch his breath.
"I-ah- I brought us a lot more time." Tetsu gasp.
"What did you do?" Bakugo asks the question currently on everyone's mind but Tetsu is too tired to respond.
"Anyway, Momo do you know of any good cake stores?" Pony reels everyone back in.
"Yes, I know of a few."
"Great, order a chocolate birthday cake but don't make it too fancy. Next, Peace can you help me get some decorations?" Peace gives Pony a thumbs up.
"That's all I got for now, I'll message you if something comes up, now let's get out of here!" Pony sprints out the room quickly followed by everyone else.
June 4th
"YO' where the fuck did you go!" Cortney angrily searches for Yosetsu because he decided the best way to keep Cortney distracted was to weld Chibi to the side of a wall.
"Come out now before I chop off your hands." Yosetsu regrets his decisions that lead him here. He's currently hiding in Shihai, seeing as that is the last place Cortney would check.
"There you are." Expect Cortney would guess that and grabs Shihai by the neck, "Shihai, pop Yo' out, I won't hurt you." Cortney raises Shihai's shirt up so he can release Yosetsu. Hina comes around the corner to see the situation currently unfolding.
"What the fuck is happening, Cortney what are you doing to Shihai?!" Hina pulls Cortney off Shihai in order to get an answer.
"Yo' welded Chibi to the wall and hid in Shihai-" Hina stops Cortney there because that is not normal to hear even in this world. Before she can say anything Cortney punches Shihai out forcing Yosetsu out.
Yosetsu unwields Chibi to appease Cortney but she knocks him out as well, Hina lets Cortney go letting her walk away and picks Yosetsu up being him and Shihai to the nurse office.
June 5th
Momo found a great bakery and was to place to the order until comes bursting into the room holding her chest.
"There you are Momo, alright all the guys, get out. I'm not giving you a second warning." Cortney says but Tenya tries to stop her.
"Cortney you can't just kick us out of cl-" Cortney grabs Tenya by the neck and chucks him out the door.
"Get out or DIE." Cortney retorts while using her fear trigger, all the boys get out while they have the chance. The Mineta closes the door on his way out after that Cortney becomes much calmer.
"Cortney what's goinggg-" Jiro checks on Cortney but gets lost once Cortney reveals her problem.
"My god damn binding broke on me!" Cortney shouts, removing her arm letting her chest drop shocking the girls.
"Momo can you make me another one?" Cortney asks in desperation, Momo makes cannons and other weapons but this the first time someone has asked her to make clothing besides her costume.
"Sure, but you will need to remove your shirt so I can take accurate measurements." Cortney does what Momo asks taking off her wrapping revealing her ripped binding.
"She's even bigger than me." Momo thinks to herself as she takes Cortney's size after which she creates a binding to hide Cortney's breast once again.
"Thanks you're a lifesaver, don't tell the boys about this. Bye" Cortney ordered leaving the girls in a daze.
June 6th
Axel is hanging out with Cortney and Himiko as a way of keeping Corteny distracted. Axel is hanging upside-down from a tree Spiderman style, "Told you I could it." Axel says to Cortney.
"I guess you can, to be honest, I was hoping the branch would give." Cortney jokes, just then Mr. Aizawa appears.
"Axel what are you doing?" Going immediately to Axel for some reason, making Cortney curious.
"Mr. Aizawa, is there something between you and Axel? Cause now I'm seeing a bunch of similarities, they hit you like a hammer to the face." Behind Cortney, Axel is crossing his hands. Aizawa is trying to think of a way to deflect the question.
"I know, is your godfather." Axel and Aizawa both face-fault and Himiko face-palms.
"So close yet so far." Axel jokes, "Aizawa is my uncle." Axel reveals the truth.
"Trust me I could've said father, plus you don't even share the same last name. Do you want to know Shoto would have guessed? That boy is so smart yet so dumb." Cortney tries to soften the blow of her answer.
"My sister changed her last name to avoid our name due to me," Aizawa explains what's up with the names.
"That explains the jackets, there your sleeping bags." Cortney blurts out follow by Axel and Aizawa wrapping their scarfs around her mouth.
"Don't share this conversation with anyone." Axel and Aizawa say in unison to which Cortney gives them her word.
June 7th
"Come on Ochaco is that the best you got?" Cortney says while breaking free from Ochaco's grab. Ochaco asked Cortney to help her grappling and to keep Cortney busy.
"I'm not done yet!" Ochaco rushes at Cortney to which Cortney responds by going low and sweeping her leg. Cortney then pulls her leg down forcing Ochaco down to the ground, Cortney than grabs her other legs and starts spinning around.
"See ya' later," Cortney says as she lets go leaving Ochaco slightly dizzy as she gets back up.
"This should be the finishing blow." Cortney states while coming in for a punch, however, Ochaco switches into her serious mode dodging out of way grabbing Cortney's arm and throwing her up in the air leaving her to float off.
"You forgot that I can jump off the air!" Cortney kicks off the air lunging at Ochaco, who ducks to the side. Cortney keeps up the pressure until Ochaco presses her hands together.
"Release." Cortney is rocketed straight into the floor by suddenly being affected by gravity again where Ochaco pins her.
"I'm done, that's it." Cortney submits after Ochaco lets her up, Cortney rubs her face and legs.
"Ow."
June 8th
Cortney is off today because she had a dentist's appointment, so everyone was given some time to breathe and get the last things they need.
June 9th
"Ok everyone tomorrow's Cortney's birthday, so thank you so much for helping me out, we got everything, now we just need some time to set up. Tetsu will keep Cortney away from the house, and once we're ready I'll send Tetsu a message to bring Cortney back." Pony breaks down what's gonna happen.
"Don't worry about me guys, I'll make Cortney not want to come." Everybody takes Tetsu's word and tries to not think too hard about it.
June 10th
Tetsu is waiting for Cortney so they can go on their date. Once they leave Pony opens the door to let everyone in.
While their walking down the street someone is running at Cortney screaming her name.
"Who are you?" Cortney asks the boy who looks to be in the same grade as them.
"Of course you wouldn't remember me. This might jog your memory, "What are waiting for? Gut her like a fish Slice." The boy says doing his best impersonation of Jerome.
"Slice?! I haven't seen you since that day, what happened to you?" Cortney thought she would never see Slice again.
"I transferred to another school, but after seeing you I started to improve myself, due to that I was able to get into a hero school and meet a ton of great friends," Slice recalls his past to get here.
"Awesome, wait, quick question, is your name actually Slice or is that a nickname?" Cortney ask because she had that question on her mind since forever.
"Yeah, that's my actual name because of my quirk." Slice hand turns his hand into an actual Greatsword, which amazes Cortney and makes Tetsu feel jealous.
"You're Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, right? I recognize you from the Sports Festival. What are doing with Cortney?" Slice beings attention to Tetsu.
"He is taking me out for a birthday date," Cortney says giving Tetsu a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh um, sorry for interrupting you guys- happy birthday Cortney." Slice runs off before things get awkward but Cortney is suddenly in front of him.
"Wait, I didn't get to ask what school you're enrolled in," Cortney says to Slice suddenly running off.
"H-how do you-" Slice cuts himself off at Cortney sudden display of speed, "Gaijin Academy, we're a way less famous school that U.A. It's mainly a foreigner school." Slice tells Cortney.
"I'll have to look you up some time in the future. I really would love to have spar with you." Cortney voices.
"I'm sure we'll cross paths again, I need to go." Slice informs Cortney, "Have a great birthday Cortney." Cortney can tell something is up with Tetsu from his face.
"Tetsu what's up with Slice?" Cortney asks knowing Tetsu will tell what's on his mind.
"You were so interested with him, I felt like forgot about me," Tetsu reveals what's going on.
"Tetsu, my heart will always belong to you, and nothing will ever change that. Let me tell you something… when it seems like the world is about to fall on me, you're there to hold it up. Just hearing your voice is enough for me to get back up, don't EVER think differently." Cortney tells Tetsu as she hugs him, "Now, come on we're still on a date."
A few hours
Tetsu finally gets the message from Pony that they're ready, he takes her home where "HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORTNEY!" Everyone pops out wishing her a happy birthday, including her Mom and Dad. Cortney nearly cries from just how much effort was put into this.
"Thank you, guys," Cortney says through her hands.
"The one you should be thanking is Pony, she was the one to set most of this up." Itsuka points to the mastermind. Where Cortney proceeds to give Pony hug that lifts off the ground.
"It's nothing Cort, you deserve it." Pony says to her best friend.
"That explains why you kept me away from Pony. But Yo' Shihai, you're on my shitlist still, don't think I'm going to you forgive for what to Chibi." Cortney reminds Yosetsu and Shihai to watch their backs.
"Hey honey, a friend gave you a special gift, could someone go get it?" ask no one is willing to get it.
"She can get it herself that thing nearly killed us just getting it in," Bakugo says while pointing to a present covered in caution tape wrapping. Cortney opens it to see the same bracelets Death Arms wears.
"It was the combination of our ideas." states, as Cortney has trouble just ONE of the bracelets out of the box, "I think we overdid it?"
"Ya' think!? Is there any way for me to adjust to the weight?" Cortney asks dropping the bracelet to the floor.
"Turn them and then you're free to adjust the weight however you want." Cortney does what her dad told her and the weights fall, she same thing with the other one before being them to her room.
"That'll be useful. Thanks, Dad." Cortney says before hearing a knock at the door.
"I got it," Tetsu says opening the door to Amallie using a scarf to hide her scar.
"Alright Cortney, I had my mom get Chibi's sword repaired, how did it go mom?" Peace explains why her mom here.
Amallie draws the sword out to reveal that the looks completely repaired, "The edge was too badly damaged to do any real work, so I had the blade melted down and reforged. However, the sword lost some of its lengths and had to get the sheathe readjusted." Amaille explains what happened to the sword before giving to Cortney with some items to keep sharp.
"That's good the sword was a bit too big for Chibi anyway, so this better." Cortney reassures Amallie, "I'll need to tell how to this right." Cortney follows up while looking at the whetstone.
Then Cortney gets a video call, she grabs her laptop from her room and sets it down on the table, "Hey everybody, it's my sister." Cortney says.
"Cortney has a sister?" Everybody besides a few people who know already, asks in unison.
"Just come sit with me," Cortney tells them before accepting the call.
"Hey, Cortney happy birthday." Lisa says once they connect, "Wow, you made a lot of friends while I was gone." Lisa says from seeing everyone gathered around Cortney.
"Is that Chibi!? He's huge now." Lisa blurts out from seeing chibi while on her side two White wolf ears appear under Lisa's chin.
"Hey sis who dog is that?" Cortney asks only for the ears to start moving revealing that the ears belong to a man.
"Everybody I like to meet my fiancè, Silver Nightly." Silver waves to them, but the Tans are frozen.
"YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!?" The Tans shout in unison in response to the announcement.
"Ow that hurt even my ears," Silver retorts before continuing on, "Yes but we aren't in the planning stage yet." That's when it hits Silver that he's been speaking English and that Lisa is Japanese again.
"Hey Pony could you act as a translator for Silver please," Lisa remembers that Pony is bilingual and ask for help.
"Sure." Pony begins to act like a translator for her end, "Wait Silver can understand Japanese?" Pony then realizes what's going on.
"Well, I can understand what Japanese dialect, but that's it." Silver explains.
"We're working on that." Lisa adds, "I'll keep the story of how we met until I get back."
"Speaking of which Lisa do you know when you'll be able to come back?" asks.
"I don't have an exact date yet, but I should be coming home probably during the middle of July." Lisa replies, "I need to go soon, Cortney do you what to tell me anything before I go?"
"Yeah, Axel-" Axel makes himself know to Lisa, "Axel's uncle is Aizawa Shouta or the Erasure Hero, Eraser Head."
"WHAT!?" Everybody shouts.
"DAMN IT CORTNEY WE HAD A DEAL!" Axel is furious that Cortney just told their secret to everyone, "SHUT YOUR MOUTH SHOTO, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR A SINGLE WORD FROM YOU!"
"It was gonna come out eventually." Cortney retorts.
"Wow, crap. I have to go, see you, everybody." Lisa disconnects, leaving everybody wondering what to do with the news before Axel tries to jump Cortney but gets stopped by Tetsu.
"I'm sorry Axel but sooner or later someone else was gonna figure it out." Cortney explains her reason, "And look, your uncle is kinda a dick." Axel finally stops, takes a deep breath.
"Look I know that was quite a bombshell, but save your questions until after Cortney's birthday." corals everybody back, "Today is about Cortney."
"Fine." Everybody agrees to keep their question to themselves and spend the rest of the day celebrating Cortney's birthday.
Writer: As you saw, I was going for something this chapter and this chapter was more like a skit than what I usually do but around we're halfway through the third season expect a lot more chapters like this.
Thanatos: With that over, it's time for our part. The power of the week. Today's power is Axel's uncle quirk, Erasure.
Delaila: By looking at anyone, Aizawa can disable almost anybody quirk.
T: But there are a lot of drawbacks to this quirk.
D: Aizawa's quirk only works while his eyes are open and he has to blink causing his quirk to deactivate and it is almost useless against mutation type quirks.
T: Let me further explain, quirks that are always on, prevent erasure from working but quirks like engine and Tail, will still work on quirks like those.
D: However after the U.S.J attack, Aizawa quirk took some damage. Now he has to close his eyes more and there's a longer cooldown between uses.
T: Still Aizawa can kick after that, getting his skull crushed in didn't stop him training his students to be the best heroes of this generation.
D: And that's the last thing we will be talking about today.
W: Next time, we're heading back to the fantasy world again. So be on the lookout for that.
