Pyrrha changed her mind, Mei - at least that's what she thought the pink haired girl called herself - wasn't a pink haired version of Nora. Rather the girl was a fusion of both Nora and Ruby perfectly blended into one hyperactive inventor with just a sprinkling of Professor Oobleck. Though perhaps Mei wasn't actually human, did her eyes have anything to do with her semblance? Was there an entire race of short pink-haired inventors with yellow eyes? Or was Mei just like Nora in that there was no one else quite like her in the entire world?

That was another thing that she needed to add to her list of things to ask Izuku.

Another thing she wanted to ask him was something that took her awhile to notice. There wasn't any dust. In Izuku's home that made sense, but she didn't see any dust shops, and now in a place where dust should be aplenty in Mei's workshop there wasn't any to be found. Yet still Mei was doing so many marvelous things without it.

Not that Pyrrha understood things like dust science, robotics or metallurgy - she could maintain her weapon well enough - but even then she had to admit that watching Mei work was something else. From what started an hour ago as a drawing on a piece of paper had passed through stage after stage of development, already Pyrrha could see Milo, the 3D hologram Mei was endlessly tweaking giving her old weapon new life.

And it was really cool watching it transform between modes.

She was starting to find out why Ruby had so much love for weapons.

Mei slapped the hologram, still talking to herself or Pyrrha, but it really wasn't easy to tell. Pyrrha wasn't even sure Mei knew that she couldn't understand a word coming out of her mouth. Still she was very good at showing her intentions. In a flurry of movements Mei looked at the second blueprint, one for Akouo, her golden eyes sparkling as excitement began to build in the girl. And there was no way for her small body to contain all the energy so she took off!

Mei darted through the large garage, sliding past a confused robot that offered her a cup of water. Mei stopped, considered the water then chugged the glass and slammed it back down onto the robot's plate before continuing onward. The closet that Mei opened spewed its contents outward - the largest pile of things Pyrrha had seen in quite some time - yet despite the chaos Mei just looked around at the waist deep pile of junk, grabbed two items and shrugged. Some robot that looked like it was custom designed for the job sweeped the contents back into the closet.

"Mei?" Pyrrha asked watching as the girl fiddled with something that looked like a black wedge about a foot long, the other device was a flat metal bar with wrist straps hanging off of it. "What are you doing?"

Mei looked up for a second, rambling in her own language for just a second and held up the wedge and asked something.

Pyrrha held up her hands and backed up a step, not quite sure how to respond. "I don't understand you."

Mei blinked. Her mouth went wide for just a moment before she snapped it shut.. She grabbed the wedge and pressed a button. It unfolded in an instant into a shield just slightly larger than Akouo had been, its sleek black surface was seamless despite its ability to fold. Mei held it out to her and nudged twice to get Pyrrha to take it.

"That's amazing!" Pyrrha grabbed the shield with both hands. "Oh, it's a bit heavier than I'm used to but it being compact like this will be very useful!" She flipped it around and grabbed onto the handle on the inside of it. Nice. That fit really well into her hand. "Thank you Mei I-"

"Left." Mei grabbed Pyrrha's shield arm and shook it up and down. "Left." She then grabbed Pyrrha's other arm. "Right. Right."

Oh!

Pyrrha held up her left arm and nodded. "Left." Then her right arm. "Right."

Mei seemed pleased. The short girl then took the shield back shrinking it down to its wedge like state and flipping it around with ease. She then attached the brace to it with a tink and started to attach it to Pyrrha's upper arm. A constant string of new words came pouring out of Mei's mouth and she wasn't sure which ones would even be useful. Once the shield and bracer were firmly attached, Mei thrust her hand out to the side.

She did the action again moving her wrist up and down.

Oh! Instructions!

"Like this?" Pyrrha asked thrusting her arm out and moving her wrist a bit. The shield snapped open, the handle grip falling into her hand with blazing speed and giving her a firm grasp on her shield. "Wow! This is amazing Mei! Thank you!"

Mei looked proud, her head was held higher and she stuck her chest out a bit before making a new hand motion, this one had her palm down and it was more like she was releasing something.

Could she throw the shield off of this? That would be very useful.

Making sure she had her semblance firmly attached to her new shield, Pyrrha mirrored Mei's movement. The shield went flying straight.

Straight at Izuku.

XXXX

"Woah!" Izuku ducked trying to avoid the UFO that had greeted him when he walked into Mei's workshop. He looked up and saw the disk was floating there slowly spinning before it moved back.

"Sorry!" Pyrrha shouted before she caught whatever gadget Mei was forcing onto her. It felt good to see her again.

He might have had a minor freak out when he showed up and found that Pyrrha was missing. Fortunately, he also managed to notice Mei's goggles on the table and the pile of take-out she had eaten before kidnapping Pyrrha.

It was partially his fault for not telling his largely absent roommate about Pyrrha.

"What was that?" Mei shouted jumping up and down to look Pyrrha in the eyes, her legs kicking each time like that would somehow give her more height. "You didn't tell me that you had a quirk that could do that! Is it just retrieval of a thrown object? Metal control? Time rewind? What it do?"

"It's magnetism." Izuku explained walking over to the two girls. "Mei, you do know that she can't understand our language, right? And why didn't you tell me you took her? I was worried."

"Huh? What? Oh I figured that out when I saw her writing. Still makes a lot of sense though! I'll be able to have her spear finished by uhh tomorrow. Maybe the next day. Depends on sleep. Oh, I'm so excited to make this." Mei, having hijacked the conversation to her own desires began to move towards her design station. "Oh! I even taught her a few words! Right, Left, Mei, Help, and Babies! You can thank me by restocking the fridge tonight. I'm out of food."

Pyrrha perked up and held up her new shield. "Pyrrha help test babies!"

If it was anyone else in the world those words would fill him with dread. Especially with Pyrrha's innocent smile attached. But because it was actually said by Pyrrha it was actually rather adorable. At least she was safe, and he could trust Mei not to do anything that would harm Pyrrha. Intentionally.

The shield on Pyrrha's arm snapped shut into a wedge and earned a gasp from her. She opened the shield and then closed it a few times. Well at least she was kind of armed, though she might be rather good at hand to hand combat if he remembered her throw in the alleyway correctly.

"So, who is she anyways? Did you buy a mail order bride or something like that?" Mei asked from her work station. He was actually surprised that she knew what those were. If he waited she would progress the conversation to something less awkward. "Oh! And what color does she want this stuff? What goes with green? Red? Do I make everything red? Probably better than brown."

"Uhh, why not have her decide?" Izuku walked over to the design station and smiled as Pyrrha joined them, still entertained by the shield on her arm. It was a lot better than a trash can lid. "I know you can preview colors on here."

"Oh! Good idea!" Mei tapped on a few of the keys and brought up a neat looking spear that changed forms whenever Mei slapped it. A dull grey color filled in the hollow framework and then a grid of colors appeared in front of Pyrrha. "Oh! Should also get the shield! And she has bits of armor here! Hey, her name is Greek right? Should I make her stuff look Greek? What's her hero name? She is a hero right?"

"She will be, and uhh, I guess for a start it will be fine, she can change it once she learns to speak Japanese." And how did Mei know that Pyrrha was greek?

"Oh!" Pyrrha touched one of the colors, a rich red that almost matched her hair covered the inner workings of the spear, she hummed before tapping on a golden yellow. "Milo." The smile on her face was softer than before as she looked at the spear, a tear coming to her eye for a moment. She moved to the shield and bathed it in the same gold as the spear. She was a natural at using a touch interface as she started to use a bit of black to draw a simple design around the holographic copy of her shield. "Akouo."

"Hey Mei," Izuku looked over to his friend and nudged her. "I think that these are pretty important to Pyrrha, so can you-"

"Make them the most amazing things ever while still maintaining the core of her design wishes?" Mei smiled and started tapping on the keyboard again, her grin turned manic for a few brief moments before she let out an insane laugh. "Don't worry! I'll make sure she's never held a better shield or spear! Especially now that I know about her quirk! Oooh I already have so many ideas I can make for her. This is exciting!"

Mei was drooling.

Izuku sighed and scratched the back of his head. "I guess we'll leave it to you then right?"

"Yep!"

After leaving the shield with Mei Izuku walked out with Pyrrha and scratched the back of his head. Now what? Go back home and help Pyrrha learn Japanese or go get food? Or take her on patrol? Oh maybe he-

"Izuku." Pyrrha tugged on his hand to gain his attention. "Home? Err Umm. More words?"

"Sure." That sounded like a great idea.

He could worry about getting some other people to recommend Pyrrha later. Shame Mei wasn't actually a hero, but then again, she probably would approve anyone.

AN: *Twitch* Need more.
