It had been a few weeks since her fight with Stain and people where still talking about it. Izumi had to teleport to school because of the reports out looking for her. She didn't like teleporting to school because she found it lazy and she enjoyed the walk. She was thankful that the class was heading to the Wild, Wild Pussycats training course with Class 1-B. It was going to be interesting with a certain student constantly upbraiding Izumi because of her quirk and why his quirk "copy" didn't work on her. Izumi punched him square in the face as he got to close. Kendo, the one who normally kept him in line complimented Izumi on her punch and told her to punch him as much as she wanted when he started getting out of line.

"Something wrong Izumi?" Uaraka asked as Izumi stood outside looking at the moon.

"Nothing just wondering about my dad. I haven't been able to call him since he's been so busy." She said.

"I'm sure he's fine. If anything, he's probably worried about you." She said with a yawn.

"Yeah probably." She sighed.

The trip was going good so far. It was relaxing to get away from the city and the school for a while. Izumi stood outside of the cabin they were staying enjoying the peaceful air around her. She began doing the yoga poses that Uncle Bruce had taught her. She was doing downward dog when someone noticed her and walked over.

"What are you doing?" Asked a young boy.

"Yoga. Would you like to join me?" She looked up at the young boy with a red hat.

"No." He said as she came out of the pose.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Kota Izumi."

"Nice to meet Izumi." She then giggled. "Wow this is going to be weird."

"Huh?"

"My name is Izumi Rodgers." She said.

"Oh, just call me Kota." He said.

"And you can call me Izu." She smiled.

"Is that your cat?" He asked pointing to Goose.

"Yep. This is Goose." She introduced.

"Can I pet him?"

"Sure." She said as Kota got on his knees beginning to pet Goose who loved the attention the young boy was giving him.

"Aren't you Infinity Girl?"

Izumi smiled, "I guess I should start wearing a mask if so, many people are going to recognize me." Kota smiled a little. "But yes, I am Infinity Girl since you have seen the news."

"I did. I wanted to know why you did do that?" He asked. "You could have been killed."

"That's the risks of being a Hero." Izumi answered. "Heroes are people who put others before themselves. It isn't always easy to especially when a Hero has family. But for most heroes it's their family that keeps them going because they want their family to live in a world where they don't have to worry about a villain going to cause some serious damage." Kota looked at her for a long time before she said, "Come on let's got it's getting dark." She said holding out her hand to him. He took her had timidly as she led him back to the Cabin where everyone had been staying. Goose followed behind them stopping on occasion making sure the coast was clear before running to catch up with Izumi and Kota. With the cabin coming into view they say Mandalay of the Pussycats.

"Kota there you are!" Said Mandalay rushing over. "I've been so worried about you."

"I told you I was going for a walk." He muttered looking away as Mandalay sighed.

"Thank you for finding him Rodgers." Mandalay bowed her head.

"No problem. Is he your son?" Izumi asked.

"No, he's my nephew." She answered. "His parents where the Water Horses." She said. Izumi's eyes went wide. Kota's parents were Heroes and died in the line of duty? She couldn't even begin to imagine that. She knew that everyone would die someday but dying on a kid who was every young, sure Kota's parents weren't trying to die on him, but the pain of that must have been unbearable.

"I—I see. I can't imagine how hard that must be on you and especially him." Izumi looked a little worried.

"Well taking care of him isn't the hard part, to be honest. However, it's when you bring up hero related topics, he gets difficult. He's been like that ever since I took him in."

"Well that makes sense. Any child would feel the same thinking their parents abounded them for the live of being a hero." Izumi said. "I know that I don't have any kids, but I know that choosing to continue being a hero isn't an easy choice. Especially when family get involved."

Mandalay smiled and said, "You are wiser than your years."

Izumi giggled, "Thanks. Come on Goose let's head inside."

"Meow." Goose followed her back into the Cabin.

"Hey Izu, how was yoga?" Asked Mina.

"It was good." She smiled. "What did I miss?"

"Bakugo arguing with someone from class 1-b." She answered.

Izumi rolled her eyes, "Why am I not surprised."

Training under the Wild, Wild Pussycats was interesting. Izumi easily zipped through it, however the others not so much. Izumi did limit herself from flying refusing to believe that it was necessary during training. However, she did get talked into it one time by Uaraka. Izumi ran into Kota quite a few times after their first encounter. He watched her and the others train constantly. Which was weird given that he didn't like heroes, or anything related to them. But a child his age was curious by nature. He even, quite a few times, asked her about her quirk. She told him very little about it which satisfied his curiosity, but she didn't have to read his mind to tell that he was wondering why she wanted to be a hero so bad. She could even tell that he was wondering that her own quirk forced her to go down the Hero path because of how powerful it was.

"Here you are Kota." Izumi walked over to the young boy sitting at a cliff with a plate of curry. "I didn't see you in there, so I brought you something to eat."

"Th—Thanks." He took the plate and started eating. Goose sat beside him. "Does he always follow you around?"

"Even when he isn't supposed to. But my Aunt Carol had trained him to be my little protector just as a precaution."

"Does he have a quirk?" Kota asked.

"I don't know. I've never been a situation where I might get a chance to see it." She lied. She had seen Goose's Flerken ability. It was during Halloween and she wanted to scare the living crap out of Uncle Sam. Goose was more than happy to help. They sat in a peaceful silence until Goose began hissing with his back arched behind them. Izumi and Kota looked over their shoulder seeing a tall beefy looking man. Izumi had a bad feeling about this and how Goose was acting as the man approached them only worsen that feeling. Izumi stood looking at Goose and gesturing for him to get behind her and in front of Kota.

"How are you!?" Izumi demanded.

"They call me Muscular." He said. "And my boss would like a word with ya. Come quietly and I'll spare the kid and the cat."

Come on kid take the bait. She wouldn't be stupid and risk the kid falling off the cliff by "accident".

Izumi looked at Goose and nodded walking over to Muscular. He smiled but then gasped as she did an upper cut knocking him back a few feet. Muscular landed a foot away from her. He sat up and rubbed his chin.

"Lucky shot kid." He said coming to his feet. He activated his quirk showing raw muscle coming out of his body then wrapping around him. She activated Infinity her fists lighting up in purple markings and emitting purple electricity wowing Kota. She walked over as the electricity crackled around her and made cracks in the ground as she walked over to Muscular. He swung she dodged and punching him hard in the stomach. He stumbled back calling upon more muscle to cover his body. He swung his leg at her.

"Izu!" Kota shouted as the leg of the villain sent her a few feet off to the side. She glared regaining her footing instantly. She got into a runner position before sprinting as fast as she could the purple electricity, she was emitting giving her an extra boost of speed. She jumped suddenly and stuck her foot out as her heel made first contact with Muscular's face. She then did a handstand and spun kicking him a few extra times and sent him flying into the rock wall a few feet away.

"Had enough yet?" Asked Izumi cracking her knuckles.

"I'm no…not…done yet!" Muscular snapped standing off from the wall. He studded over with a small limp in his leg. Izumi sighed and rushed him with her power level being a 2%.

"AVENGERS' FURY!" Izumi shouted punching Muscular as her fist ripped through the raw muscular around his body. She sent him flying back into the rock wall making a bigger crater. Muscular laid there in the center twitching slightly. Izumi turned back to Kota and Goose. She grabbed them and summoned her wings. "Hang on tight Kota!" She ordered.

"THIS IS AMAZING!" Kota cheered. Izumi smiled as they flew off. It didn't take long until Izumi was flying over to the others seeing them fighting something. More villains. Kota gave a yelp as Izumi dove downward toward the others. Kota holds onto Izumi's neck and closed his eyes as Izumi fired her feather bullets at the villains bellow.

"Is everyone alright?" She asked setting Kota and Goose down.

"We're fine Izu." Bakugo said. "Why is the kid with you?"

"A villain caught us on the cliff where I found him. I made short work of him then came to find you guys." She explained.

"We are saver together." Said Kirishima.

"I'm going to open a portal to the cabin. Everyone ready to get out of here?" Izumi asked.

"Born ready." Said Kaminari. Izumi opened a portal, and everyone ran through it.

"You guys should have seen it!" Kota said talking to everyone after their escape from the villains. "There was this big villain that wanted Izu, but she totally kicked his butt. She sent him flying into a wall." Kota recapped what had happened at the cliff.

"That's our Izu." Smiled Momo.

"She's the manliest woman out there, for sure." Kirishima said. Izumi sighed covering her face due to the blush that appeared on her cheeks. She hated when everyone kept complimenting her. She was just following her dream she didn't ask for the compliments, but it was nice getting recognized for her achievements. Though she could do without the endless string of comments.
