It had been a few days since Izuku and Tsuyu were released from the hospital and while the two resumed their classes; some of the Pro Heroes of UA were currently meeting once again about the incident that put the two students in the hospital in the first place.

"Any word on this Frostbite villain?" asked the rodent-like Principal.

"Not yet," replied the only woman in the room. "His partners don't want to talk."

Nezu took in Midnight's words with a hum. "I see."

"The only thing we know is that the Quirks that these villains had were specific enough to counter the Quirks of our students, as young Midoriya was able to deduce," said Toshinori. "For example, the two villains that young Todoroki and young Iida fought could control dirt and create oil, prefect counters for their respective Quirks."

"Are you suggesting that the attack was organized?" questioned the sharpshooter hero Snipe.

"It's possible. When I asked young Midoriya about the incident he theorized that the ones who attacked them could be working with the League of Villains."

"Great, just what we needed," grumbled out Midnight, crossing her arms under her large breasts.

"If it is true that they were working with the League of Villains, the big question is why," stated the vampire-like hero Vlad King.

"It could be possible that there's more to these villains then we think," replied Ectoplasm. "It would be strange if they were just common thugs, considering the League of Villains haven't used lesser villains since the raid on the USJ."

"Then it seems the only thing we can do for now is to stay on guard," stated Nezu. "Hopefully, we can get information about this Frostbite soon and put an end to this."

As much as the Pros hated the idea of waiting, they really didn't have much of a choice.

Elsewhere, Frostbite was sitting around, bored out of his mind. He glanced towards the clock on the wall and frowned when he saw the time.

'Where the hell is that little shit? If he's making me wait on purpose, I'll freeze his scrawny ass.'

As soon as he thought that, a black portal opened before him and out stepped the leader of the League of Villains. The portal then shrank and reformed into the League's second-in-command.

"You failed."

"Nice to see you as well, Shigaraki," said Frostbite, still looking bored. "Can I get you anything? Iced tea, perhaps?"

"Don't play games with me, Frostbite. You and your team failed at killing those kids," stated Shigaraki as he narrowed his eye at the ice villain.

"So you did expect me to kill them!" exclaimed Frostbite, now looking shocked, although his tone clearly held sarcasm. "I would have expected that anything that was a thorn in the League's side must have been hard to kill, especially that green-haired brat."

Frostbite didn't hide his smirk when Shigaraki started to tremble in anger.

"You would do well to hold your tongue, Frostbite," said Kurogiri, narrowing his yellow eyes.

"No, I don't think I will," replied Frostbite as he gave off a grin. "You guys came to me to handle a job that you clearly couldn't do on your own. You need me."

"I'll kill you!" exclaimed Shigaraki as he reached forward. He stopped though when the temperature started to drop.

"It's funny how you believe that people should fear you, Shigaraki," said the ice villain with a laugh. "In case you forgot, the moment you touch me your life is forfeit. I technically have the advantage over you…and not just because of my Quirk."

The handsy villain glared hatefully at the ice villain. How dare this thug think he was better than him! "And why is that?"

Frostbite flashed his sharp teeth. "You're nothing more than a man-child, thinking that everything should go your way and when it doesn't you throw a hissy fit. Word gets around, Shigaraki, and most of us villains know what happened to Overhaul after the heroes beat him. I guess you really didn't like the fact that he didn't join you."

Shigaraki started to scratch at his neck. He wanted to kill this insect for the disrespect he was showing him.

"You were told to keep quiet, Frostbite!"

"And the handler speaks up again," laughed Frostbite as he looked at Kurogiri. "It must be a pain to act as a babysitter all of the time. Of course, someone has to look after All For One's puppet."

"Do not speak of Sensei like that!" screeched Shigaraki, the hate in his eyes overflowing.

"It's funny how you think All For One cares about you. With a name like "All For One", it's obvious they only care about one thing."

"You know nothing!"

"Enough!" exclaimed Kurogiri, getting Shigaraki to halt his tantrum. The mist villain turned back towards Frostbite. "You've made a grave mistake in going against us."

"No, you made the mistake of coming to me," replied Frostbite, now looking serious. "You mistook me as a common thug when in reality I am far from that. I might only do small crimes, as you were led to believe, but I choose to do that. With my Quirk, I can easily go big time, but I rather stay under the radar. Why do you think I've been able to stay active for so many years?"

As much as Kurogiri hated to admit it, Frostbite was right. Kurogiri had a feeling there was more to the villain before him and looking into his eyes he could see someone far smarter than he originally thought.

"What is it that you want, Frostbite?"

"Do not make any deals with him, Kurogiri," ordered Shigaraki with a hiss as he turned his glare to his second-in-command.

Frostbite let out a laugh. "To answer your question, nothing. I want nothing from you, but I'll still do the job you hired me for."

That got the two League members' attention. Kurogiri was the one to speak up. "Why?"

Another grin came from Frostbite. "As I said earlier, that green-haired brat is a thorn in your side and you hired me to kill him. By killing him, I will have done something you couldn't do and I will gladly hold that over your heads for all eternity."

If it weren't for Kurogiri holding him back, Shigaraki would have lunged at Frostbite, cold temperature be damned. It was at this point that Frostbite stood up and made his away around the two villains to head out.

"Where are you going?! Don't walk away from me!" exclaimed Shigaraki, glaring hatefully at Frostbite.

"You two are starting to bore me," replied Frostbite, not looking back. He then stopped once he reached the door. "By the way, if by some chance the kid does beat me, don't think you'll be able to get to me like you did with Overhaul."

"And why is that?" demanded the League's leader.

Frostbite turned his head to give Shigaraki a smile. "Because I'll gladly kill myself the moment I lose. I won't give you the satisfaction of getting revenge on me."

With that, Frostbite left the room. He was only a few feet away when he heard a shriek of rage from behind the door, causing the ice villain to grin.

-:-

Back at UA, classes were starting to let out and the students of Class 1A were packing up to leave.

"So Deku, what are you planning for tonight?" asked Ochaco, looking over at her friend.

"I was actually going to go and train," replied Izuku. "Now that I've rested for a few days, I can finally start training again. I feel like I've fallen behind so I want to get in as much training as I can."

"That is very admirable of you, Midoriya!" stated Iida as he made his way over.

"Che, it doesn't matter how much you train, you're still fucking worthless."

Izuku flinched at the harsh words from his former childhood friend. Looking over, he found Bakugou glaring at him with his usual amount of hate.

"Kacchan…"

"Why do you always have to be so mean, Bakugou?" demanded Ochaco.

"Fuck off, Round Face!" growled out the explosive boy. He turned his glare back at Izuku. "You keep claiming you want to be a hero, Deku, and then let a weak ass fucking villain beat you! I always knew you were full of fucking shit!"

Izuku was about to say something back, but the familiar voice of his froggy friend sounded off.

"He's still more of a hero than you'll ever be, Bakugou, gero."

Bakugou's glare was now locked onto Tsuyu as she walked passed him and stood by a shocked and scared Izuku. "You want to say that again, Frogger?!"

"Midoriya-kun is more of a hero than you'll ever be, gero," repeated Tsuyu, not afraid of the ashy blond before her. "During everything this class has been through since we've started coming to UA, Midoriya-kun has shown what it really means to be a hero, willing to put the lives of others before his own, gero. You on the other hand do not make it a secret that you only care about being the number one hero, which is very selfish on your part, gero."

"Fuck off, Frogger!" growled Bakugou through clenched teeth as small explosions came from his palms. "I'll fucking destroy you!"

"Not very hero-like, gero," replied Tsuyu, putting her finger on her chin. She then turned to Izuku, who was now pale as a sheet. "Come on, Midoriya-kun. If we want to get some extra training in, we should get going, gero."

That got Izuku's attention. "N-Nani? W-We?"

"You're not the only one who wishes to become a better hero, Midoriya-kun. I'll be your training partner, gero."

The frog girl then grabbed Izuku's hand, causing him to blush brightly, and led him towards the door so they could leave the room and everyone who witnessed her confrontation with Bakugou. Once they were gone, the others started to speak up.

"Did you see that?! Tsuyu totally stood up to Bakugou!" squeaked out the invisible girl, Hagakure Tooru.

"What did you expect?" said Jirou. "She's not the type to take shit from people."

"Heh, I'm actually surprised that she made it out of here alive after that," said the electric boy, Kaminari Denki.

Bakugou gnashed his teeth together as he heard the others, in his mind, talking shit about him. He was about to go off on all of them, if it wasn't for Kirishima putting an arm around his shoulders.

"Come on, Baku-bro! Let's you and I get some extra training in as well! Can't fall behind, right?"

While Bakugou wanted to blow up these little shits, the thought of making sure Deku didn't get ahead of him was more tantalizing.

"First smart thing you've said all day," replied Bakugou with a feral grin.

As the two boys left, the others could only sweatdrop.

"Is Kirishima really that blind?" questioned Jirou, referring to Kirishima's disregard to Bakugou's attitude.

"More like Kirishima knows he's the only one who can handle Bakugou," replied Mina with a laugh. "He probably knew what Bakugou was about to do, so he diverted his attention elsewhere!"

"Hopefully he can keep him away from Midoriya," said Iida as he readjusted his glasses.

"I wouldn't worry about that," said the stoic voice of Todoroki as he made his way over. "Midoriya has Asui with him. She'll keep him out of harm's way."

The others couldn't disagree with that.

-:-

With Izuku and Tsuyu, the green duo were making their way back to the dorms to change out of their school uniforms and into some training clothes. Unfortunately they didn't make it very far as they were stopped by All Might.

"Ah, Midoriya, my boy! I've been looking all over for you."

"What's up, All Might?" asked Izuku, his large green eyes filled with curiosity.

"I've been meaning to have a talk with you about something," replied Toshinori, briefly glancing down to see Izuku's hand still in young Asui's. "In private, of course."

"Oh, okay," replied Izuku. He turned to Tsuyu with a look of apology. "I guess I'll have to take a rain check on training. Gomen, Tsuyu."

Tsuyu just gave him a smile, showing that she wasn't upset. "That's okay, Midoriya-kun. I'll see you later then."

With that, Izuku let go of Tsuyu's hand and followed after his mentor. As Tsuyu watched the green-haired boy leave she felt as if all of the warmth left her body. She wanted to reach out to him, but she knew whatever All Might wanted to talk to him about had to be important. Shaking her head, she decided to continue on to the dorms. Maybe the others were there and they could find something to do.

-:-

In the teacher's lounge, Izuku sat across from Toshinori, waiting for his mentor to start.

"I suppose I'll get to the point," said Toshinori. "What is your relationship with young Asui?"

Izuku raised an eyebrow is surprise. Of all the things that All Might wanted to talk about, that was far from the top of his list.

"…We're friends."

"And that's it? There's nothing else going on?"

Now, Izuku was a smart boy. He knew exactly where All Might was going with this.

"N-Nani?! Wh-Why are you asking that?!" exclaimed the red-faced Izuku. "I-Is this s-supposed to be The T-Talk?! D-Does Kaachan know about this?!"

At the mention of The Talk, Toshinori coughed up some blood in surprise. "No! This isn't that kind of conversation… maybe. And you mother doesn't know anything about this!"

"Then what is this about?!" demanded Izuku, still embarrassed.

"I just want to know if you know what you're getting into," replied Toshinori as he wiped off the blood from his mouth. "You two were found in the same bed after all."

"But nothing happened!"

"Just making sure. You two do seem to have gotten closer as of late."

"I'm actually surprised by that as well," said Izuku, causing Toshinori to raise an eyebrow. "I mean, we became friends after the USJ incident, but I wasn't as close to Tsuyu as I was with Iida or Uraraka. It's as if ever since that incident with Frostbite, something changed."

Toshinori let out a hum of contemplation as he took in Izuku's words. From what he's seen, it looked like young Asui had gained feelings for his ward, but he could have been reading too much into it.

"Well whatever it is, I hope you know you can always come to me if you need advice," stated Toshinori. "Heroics aren't the only thing I know after all."

Izuku wasn't sure if he would ever need to go to All Might for that type of advice. At least, he hoped he wouldn't. It would be too weird.

-:-

Later that night, everyone had gone to bed and while most everyone had fallen asleep, Tsuyu couldn't help but toss and turn. Opening her eyes, she thought back to earlier that afternoon when Izuku had finally returned to the dorms. She went to greet him, but the moment he saw her he blushed, made up some excuse, and went to his room where he stayed for the rest of the day. It confused her greatly.

Not only that, but she was cold. Not in the same way as a winter day, but it was still uncomfortable for her. Turning her head to the side, she noticed the empty space in her bed. Now she knew what was missing.

Sitting up, she got out of bed and made her way out of her room, sneaking down the halls and making her way to the boys' side of the dorms. It was a good thing she had a frog Quirk. Made stealth all that much easier. She then made her way up to the room she knew held her prize.

Opening the door and quietly making her way inside, she didn't hesitate to make her way to the bed and getting underneath the covers.

'Good night, Midoriya-kun,' thought Tsuyu as she snuggled against the sleeping green-haired boy, taking in his warmth. She smiled when she felt him unconsciously wrap his arm around her and held her close.

Pleasant dreams came to Tsuyu that night.

CHAPTER END

-:-

The Pros are trying to figure out who Frostbite is, Frostbite is playing a dangerous game with Shigaraki, Bakugou is still an ass, and it looks like Izuku and Tsuyu's relationship is evolving into something new, much to Izuku's confusion. Looks like he might have to take up Toshinori's offer sooner rather than later, especially if Tsuyu keeps giving him these types of surprises.
