My Hero Academia: Heroes are Made not Born... Part 4
Nights and Days:
After arranging a time for Izuku to come to her house for a Private Dinner with her, Momo glanced over at him periodically during the day. He still wore his Hooded Sweatshirt with the hood up and the Mask on. Though she did know what he looked like. Today being Friday, all of the Classes were normal High School Courses. Math, English, Social Studies and even History. All easy subjects for her. At Two Thirty the day was over and she met Izuku aka Owlman outside the Locker Room and when he stepped out carrying a large Duffel Bag. "My Uniform." izuku explained as he hefted the bag onto his shoulder. "Part of the agreement, I can go out on the weekend. Though mostly it is so that I can be seen, I cannot really do anything unless it is dire." He stated. Momo looked around and leaned in closer.
"See you at 4 PM, for our Date." Momo said and he smiled and nodded. Then without another word he walked away. She watched him a moment and then made her way to where Jaspers, her families Butler slash Driver waited for her. She had to hurry, she only had about an hour to get ready for their date and she knew she would need every minute of that time to make herself presentable.
At Momo's and her Parents Mansion, she walked down the stairs and stared into the Mirror. Gasping as she looked at herself. "Oh no! The shirt does not match my jeans." She said in shock. About to run back upstairs and change once again. Her mother sat in the Living Room and overheard Momo. This had been the third time that Momo came down and then rushed back up the stairs. Either the clothes were not right or her hair was not. On the fourth time, Momo's Mother stood and came out into the Foray.
"Dear what is the matter?" Ashimomo asked as she saw her daughter once again stared into the Mirror, then glancing at the clock and finally the door. Looking finally into the Mirror once more.
"He will be here in twenty minutes and I just want to look my best. But that seems impossible." Momo replied, biting her bottom lip and considering changing her clothes again. This time back to the Sweatpants and White V-Neck T-Shirt. She was in near panic as she checked her face in the Mirror, praying that she did not have a pimple.
"You have been on dates before, why are you so nervous?" Ashimomo asked and Momo finished checking for Pimples and turned towards her Mother. Frowning as she shook her head.
"Those were social engagements, not dates and I did not like any of them. Izuku is different, I really like him." Momo stated, pulling out Strawberry Flavored Lip Gloss and applying another coat on her lips. Ashimomo chuckled as Momo looked down and gasped audibly.
"No! The shoes do not match the Light Blue Jeans or my Yellow T-Shirt." Momo said in horror as she ran back up the stairs to get her Multi Colored Sneakers. Knowing that those would match anything. Momo passed her Father and barely acknowledged him. Tachinorma watched his daughter run past him and he gestured with his thumb towards her, in question to his wife Ashimomo. She smiled.
"She has a date and she is a little nervous." Ashimomo informed him and he scowled. Coming down the rest of the way and deciding to wait for whoever dared to see his Daughter. Crossing his arms he leaned against the wall and continued to scowl. "Now Tachi be nice when he arrives. Momo really likes this boy." When Momo started to descend the stairs again, she noticed her father standing to one side waiting.
"Dad please." Momo pleaded and he father smirked slightly.
"It is my right to meet whoever it is that is coming to take you out on a date." Tachi stated and then watched Momo glance over towards Ashi her mother hoping that she could intervene. The doorbell rang and Momo rushed to answer it. Wondering if it was possible to change the plans for the Date to something not in her home. Unfortunately her Father beat her to the door. "Who are you and what do you want?" He demanded as he glared down at the young man that had just arrived.
"Izuku Midoriya. Momo asked me to come to dinner with her." Izuku replied staring normally up at the large man that now stood blocking almost the whole door. This startled Tachinorma as he looked down at the young Izuku, noting that even though he outweighed the teenager. Izuku showed that he was not intimidated by Tachi.
"Let him in Tachi." Ashimomo ordered and the large man moved, gesturing for Izuku to enter if he dared. With no reluctance, Izuku entered and Momo mouthed her apologies. Though she was also smiling, her Father was used to people being intimidated by his size and manner. But Izuku was not and she knew why. Seeing him in action on several Youtube Videos, she guessed that he could thoroughly tie her Father into a Pretzel in the time it took to tie a shoe. "So how do you know Momo?" Ashimomo asked Izuku and he shrugged.
"From UA, I am in class with her." Izuku replied and this caught Tachi with delight.
"Oh so you want to be a Hero Too. So what is your Quirk?" Tachi asked with interest and Izuku just lightly exhaled and gave a small grin.
"I do not have a Quirk. I am Quirkless." Izuku said evenly and both Tachi and Ashi first stared at Izuku and then over at Momo aghast in that statement.
"Quirkless! Then how the hell did you get into the Hero Course with Momo?" Tachi asked in shock. Then he nodded and smiled. "Oh I think I know, it is a publicity stunt to placate the Quirkless. The School has no intention of allowing you to become a licensed Hero." He said with understanding. Izuku stared at Tachi for a second and then smiled widely.
"That could be it." Izuku said softly as he continued to smile. "The School could have me put into the Hero Course as a stunt, stating that it would show that anyone can apply and attend. But those that are Quirkless would not be able to pass the Hero Certification." He thought. Momo in the meantime tried to intervene but failed as her Mother and Father blocked her from even getting next to him.
"So what are you going to do on this Date tonight?" Ashi asked, looking back at Momo and then at Izuku. Momo spoke up immediately.
"I had planned on us eating dinner on the veranda. Just the two of us without any chaperones." Momo said firmly and her Mother nodded with approval. Her Father was another matter. He scowled again.
"Can I have a word with you Momo. In private." Tachi ordered and then pointed into one of the side rooms. Making sure Momo proceeded him, he walked behind her into the room. Closing the door. "I understand that you are old enough to date a boy. But that boy is Quirkless. So essentially he is not good enough for you." He stated as he gestured towards the closed door.
"Quirkless does not mean worthless, Dad." Momo said as she frowned at her father. "I like him. He is the best person I have ever met and you would think so too if you get to know him." She added and her Father shook his head. Then let her pass to go on what he hoped was just the one date. Momo came out and heard her Mother asking Izuku a bunch of questions. Mainly about how he would be able to be a Hero without having some type of impressive Quirk. He did not really reply, just kept saying that he did not know. Momo immediately took his hand and led him from the inquisition. Heading for the Veranda. "I am so sorry about that." She partially whispered so that only he could hear her. Outside after they sat she closed her eyes and exhaled.
"It is alright. It is nice to see that your Parents want to make sure that you do not get involved with the wrong person." Izuku said and Momo suspected that he was talking about himself. Believing that he was completely wrong for her, since he did not have a Quirk or some other ridiculous reasons that she would eventually have to disprove.
"You see, My Father has his mind set on me getting with one of his Friends sons. The problem is that his friends son is a total dullard and is about as sharp as a bowling ball." Momo stated, not telling Izuku that last year on the one Social Arrangement that she went on with him. The little prick tried to grope her tits and her ass twice. Not the type of person she would ever even think about getting involved with. No her mind was basically set on Izuku and she was stubborn enough to get what she wanted. Deciding to change the subject she leaned closer. "I have a whole lot of questions about you know who." She saw him smirk and nod.
"Ask away and I will answer three of them, but only if I can. There is certain things I prefer to not let anyone know." Izuku said with a wave of his hand. Momo began to categorize the Questions she wanted ask and the answers she wanted to know.
"Okay, why a Owl? How does that Uniform blend into the Shadows so well and how did you learn to fight like you do?" Momo listed three of the most important questions she had. He nodded again and leaned even closer.
"The night that I decided that I needed some type of Uniform that would instill fear into Criminals and ones like them. I saw a Bat flying around. I was going to go with that, thinking what better then something that hunted and swooped around at night. But before I could really decide an Owl flew down and grabbed the Bat. So I reconsidered and thus Owlman." Izuku answered her first question. Then after a few minutes. "I can't tell you who, but someone made it for me. It is an experimental Stealth Material she created and it is able to blend into shadows and darkness." He told her and she really wanted to hear him answer the third question but he paused.
"Please I would like to know. How are you able to fight so effectively? From what I have seen on Youtube. You seem to be really great at it." Momo said as she smiled and he exhaled sharply.
"That is another question that I cannot fully answer. Let me just say that the person who taught me, also taught me other things that really help me be Owlman." Izuku replied. The statement was true in a way. Natsumaki has not only taught him how to fight, but also almost everything else associated with being Owlman. From making the special Flash and Smoke Bombs to that of being able to basically disappear. He owed it all to Natsumaki. She had made him three times as strong, fast and agile. "It was not easy, the one that taught me basically kicked my butt everyday for almost two months, I trained for almost a year with her and I train almost everyday so that I get better." He told her and she smiled.
"Any chance I could see where you train?" Momo asked and he nodded. Then glanced behind her as a Middle Aged Man, came out the door carrying a tray. Izuku could see two plates with assorted food on them. As the Man set one plate down in front of him and then one in front of Momo. "Thank you Jaspers." She said smiling and Jaspers gave a slight nod. Turned and departed. A few minutes later bringing out two glasses of Chocolate Milk.
"Sure why not. But it will have to be tomorrow. I am going on Patrol right after I leave here." Izuku said then noticed Momo lopsided grin.
"Sounds like perhaps another date to me." Momo stated with enthusiasm. "How about I come by your place around noon and then we can go to the Movies. I know this Theater that not too many people frequent, so we do not have to worry about anyone from School seeing you." She explained and he shrugged. "Good then it is settled." Izuku stared at her for a moment and wondered how she had somehow arranged for them to go out on another date. He had planned on this being it, but now he was going on another. Two hours later after having a nice chat and meal. It was time for Izuku to go out on his Patrol. Standing outside the front door, Momo was slightly reluctant for him to go. She really, really liked him and wanted him to stay for a little longer.
"You want to know something?" Izuku asked and Momo nodded. "I had planned on just being here for perhaps long enough to eat and then go. But I really enjoyed tonight." He admitted and smiled, Momo was somewhat surprised that he would admit that to her. Biting her bottom lip, she looked at him intently and before her Parents came out to check on them or she lost the nerve. She jetted forward and pressed her lips against his. Izuku felt her petal soft lips on his, though the kiss was light and over in seconds. To both of them it was outstanding. As Momo darted into the house. Not wanting him to notice that her face turning red with embarrassment. Standing at the door for a few minutes, Izuku blinked a couple of times. "Wow." He stammered out, he smiled and then finally turned and walked to where he had hid his Uniform. Feeling ecstatic.
Saturday Morning, Momo picked up her phone and skimmed the recent Youtube Videos on Owlman. She had done that since he save her ass and her virtue from those two assholes that tried to ravage her. Wanting to see some more positive ones, she found two that had over a Million hits. The first one, was taken by someone that first showed a group of about ten Men that ranged from 20 to 25 years old. She could hear them making plans to have some so called fun. From general mayhem to that of accosting someone and beating them up. The person that was taping then gasped and he moved the picture upwards. Above the so called thugs was Owlman. Hanging what looked like from his clawed feet, upside down and glaring down with his red glowing eyes at them. When a passing car highlighted him for a second one of the thugs had glanced upwards. Then the man's eyes widened and he gasped loudly. Grabbing one of his buddies and pointing upwards, his hand shaking. All the thugs then looked up and two immediately ran off. The others all stared at the demon hanging above them looking like in all appearances as a Predator ready to swoop down on them from above. Momo then heard Owlman's voice. "Good evening, gentlemen." He said with his menacing voice and all the thugs ran. The man recording the scene, played it downward towards the fleeing men then a second later back up and Owlman was gone. The Video then showed as the Man made his own hasty retreat. Momo laughed and then saved the Video. Moving onto the next one.
This one was tragic, a fire had broken out in an apartment building. A very old woman about seventy was crying and pointing up at her apartment. Ten stories up. Flames were dancing out other apartments and the woman was trying to beg one of the Firemen to rescue her cat. Then the whole crowd gasped as Owlman seemed to fly in and crashed through the window on the Tenth Floor. Smoke could be seen billowing out of the now open window. Then just a minute later he was back, gently coming down and landing on his feet. It looked like he had his right wing wrapped around his side and as he opened his wing, he handed the old woman a white cat. She stared at him with shock and then hugged her cat. Before she could thank him. He spread his wings and flew upwards. Momo felt tears in her eyes as she saved that one as well. Then saw a follow up video. The old woman was crying and she held her cat in the frame.
"I have never made a Video on this thing before and I hope that it somehow reaches you Owlman." The Old Woman said, tears flowing down her face. " I want to thank you for saving Fluffy. She means the world to me and you saved her. You are a true Hero." Then she smiled. "You protect us and I believe that you are not a Demon but an Angel. But I suspect that those that are evil and harm others for evil reasons, you are a Demon and will make them wish that they never were born. Thank you again Owlman." Momo saved that one as well and smiled. Not wanting to wait until noon to see him. Having Jaspers drive her to his Apartment Building, twenty minutes later.
Entering the Apartment Building she found Midoriya on the List and proceeded up the Elevator. Feeling somewhat nervous she rang the bell and a short woman answered. "Can I help you?" The older woman asked kindly and Momo melted inside. Knowing that this must be Izuku's Mother.
"Yes I am Momo Yoayorozu. A friend of Izuku's. I wonder if I could see him?" Momo said to Izuku's Mother and the Older Woman smiled. Opening the door wider and indicating for Momo to enter.
"Of course dear. He is asleep right now, but I am sure he will wake up if he knows you are here." Inko said as she walked over to an adjoining room and knocked. Second later entering. A few minutes later a sleepy Izuku came out, rubbing his eyes. Wearing only Pajama Pants and no shirt. But Momo's eyes was locked onto Izuku's bare chest. Her eyes widened with delight as she stared at his impressive, chest, abs and arms. "Izuku you might want to put a robe on in front of your friend." Inko suggested then smiled over at Momo. "Sorry, he usually sleeps in on Saturday for some reason." She said, seeing Izuku grab a robe from his room and put it on. Still partially asleep.
"Sorry." Izuku apologized as he covered himself and Momo finally blinked. "I though you were not coming until noon." He said to Momo and she shrugged.
"I just could not wait. If we go soon we can make the early Screening." Momo suggested and Inko jabbed Izuku with her elbow.
"I must have failed as a mother somehow, because my son would by now would introduce me to this young woman." Inko said sternly to Izuku and Momo chuckled.
"Oh whoops. Sorry. This is my Mother, Inko Midoriya and this is..." Izuku said as he indicated each, but his mother cut him off.
"I know son, Momo Yoayorozu." Inko said then to tease her son a little. "My oh my, she is a pretty young woman. Are you his Girlfriend Momo?" Inko asked and Izuku groaned and put his hand over his eyes.
"No. Well I am his friend and I am a girl." Momo clarified but really wanted to say. "Not yet, but I will be soon." She giggled when Izuku grunted barely audibly.
"I am asleep and this is a nightmare. It has to be." Izuku said as he felt his face begin to feel warm. Inko and Momo laughed as he removed his hand and exhaled. "Nope I am awake." With another audible groan, he turned back towards his room. "I am going to take a shower and get dressed." He informed them as he departed, wondering if it was actually smart to leave Momo with his Mother. Knowing that it probably wasn't. Once he closed the door. Inko gestured towards two chairs.
"He will be a few minutes." Inko told Momo as they sat across from each other. "So do you like my son?" She asked Momo. Nodding Momo smiled and glanced towards the closed door.
"Very much." Momo admitted to Inko and the older woman smiled.
"Good." Inko said in delight. Momo instantly liked Izuku's mother and knew that his mother liked her. Ten minutes later, Izuku came out and regretted coming out of his room at all. Considering going back into his room and locking the door. Noticing both of their expressions and at first wanting to know what they had been talking about. Then he decided that he really did not want to know. Gesturing towards the door.
"Shall we go, Momo?" Izuku asked and Momo stood. Inko smiled warmly at her.
"Have fun on your date. Oh Momo come by anytime, I would love to tell you some stories about Izuku." Inko stated and Izuku gently took Momo's right wrist and bolted from the Apartment. Outside and at the stairwell to the roof he released Momo's wrist and groaned.
"Your mother is really nice." Momo commented and Izuku exhaled and shrugged. "I came early because I saw what you did last night and I wanted to see you. Oh and do this." She said as she took hold of his shirt front and leaned towards him. Once again pressing her lips against his, this time for a longer kiss. Parting she smiled at him and placed her forehead against his. Peering into his eyes. "Thank you for saving that old woman's cat. That was so sweet." Izuku smiled, he was still in somewhat shock that again Momo had kissed him and he really liked it. Still not fully understanding why she wanted to spend time with him. Deciding that eventually he would ask he gestured towards the roof. Then led Momo upstairs onto the roof. Once on the roof, Izuku pulled out a 2 by 8 Board that had several 2 foot 2 by 4 boards attached to it.
"This is my punching board. Over there where those pipes are, is where I do some combat gymnastics." Izuku informed Momo, hoping desperately to change the subject or what happened downstairs. Momo touched the board and then turned towards him.
"Can you show me?" Momo asked, noticing the change of subject and thinking it funny. Stepping up to the Board, he began to lightly hit the boards and within seconds increased speed. She could the blows on the board, then he hit the boards harder and harder. At three different times putting his fist through the 2 by 8 board. She watched wide eyed as he broke the 2 by 4 boards in half with little effort. Finally kicking the 2 by 8 and the board split almost in half. "Wow." She gasped and went to touch the board where it was splintered and broken. "Are you sure you do not have a Quirk, because that is really impressive." Momo said as she pointed to the holes in the boards and the broken 2 by 4's.
"Nope, no Quirk. This is all me." Izuku replied and Momo smiled over at him. "Want to go to the Movie now?" He asked and she nodded, then reached out and took his hand in hers. Interlacing her fingers. He looked down at her hand on his.
"It is our second date and I want to hold your hand." Momo informed him and then led him back down the stairs. Smirking with satisfaction. Having Jaspers drive them to the Theater, she sat in the back seat with Izuku. Still holding his hand. When they arrived, she told Jaspers to come back in two hours and pick them up. After getting tickets to Jumanji 2, buying popcorn and two sodas. Momo took him inside and sat in the back row. Normally she sat in the center of the Theater, but in the back she could ensure no one disturbed them. Once they sat and the credits began, she pulled his hand that she held over her shoulders and placed her head against him. He stared at her with shock. "Just making myself comfortable. If you do not like it I can let go?" She asked him and he shook his head. Momo smiled contently and looked at the screen. Not really interested in the Movie. To her the Movie was not long enough and when the lights came back on, they stood and left the Theater. She clasped his hand tightly in hers, refusing to let it go. Outside while waiting for Jaspers, Momo began to consider how she could get Izuku to go out with her again. Then to her delight.
"There was one other place that I trained. I suppose you would like to see where that is?" Izuku informed her and she nodded enthusiastically. "I cleaned up the Sea Front beach. Perhaps tomorrow you would like to see it." He told her and she smiled.
"Yes I would like that." Momo told him. "That is date number three." She stated and he rolled his eyes.
To be continued
