I do not own My Hero Academia or any of its characters.
Going Global
Lee groaned as he bucked up into Toru, her own orgasm dragging him over the edge, at the same time as Mina and Momo both cried out in pleasure from between each other's legs. All four slowly disentangled themselves from each other only to burrow under Momo's covers and all cuddle back into each other again. However, just as all four began to drift off, all of their phones chimed over and over urgently. They all groaned, reaching over and picking them up, seeing messages from Rumi.
"Damn, she types as fast as you run, Lee," Mina sighed, all of them opening and seeing matching messages.
"Call me."
"Seriously."
"Now."
"Not kidding."
"Stop having sex."
"It's urgent."
"P.S.: if you ARE having sex, I'll understand if you ignore me. I'd ignore you in your place."
"She sent all of those messages in like, two seconds," Toru said.
"She was just expecting us to ignore her and make it look like she earned a guilt trip," Lee sighed.
"Does anybody else find the smiley face after she talks about how she'd ignore us if she was having sex creepy?" Momo asked.
"Nah," Mina said. "Rumi can get away with it because she's sexy."
"Down girl," Lee said. "The harem's full."
Mina laughed as Toru and Momo blushed.
Finally, Lee dialed Rumi. "Nice try with the message spamming."
"Damn, thought I had you," Rumi said. "Did I interrupt?"
"Only our sleep," Lee said. "What's up? You said it's urgent. This better not be a last-minute wingman request."
"No, no, no!" Rumi said. "That's not for another week. This is something else. A mission."
"What kind?" Lee asked, yawning.
"A cult called Humarise just conducted an attack that wiped out an entire city by using a drug called IdeoTrigger to set everyone's Quirk to overdrive and killed everyone with a Quirk, as well as a bunch of Quirkless who were caught in the ensuing chaos and destruction," Rumi said.
Lee blinked twice, then swore, throwing himself out of bed and began to very quickly get dressed, the girls following his lead. "I assume we're not going alone."
"Unfortunately, no," Rumi said. "We got conscripted into the World Heroes Association."
"Oh really?" Lee grinned. "We're going global?"
"Meet at my agency and I'll fill you in," Rumi said. "Also, I got Mina a new outfit for the mission."
"Please tell me it's a G-string," Lee grinned.
Rumi laughed. "If it was legal, I'd make it a birthday present for my favorite nephew."
"Cousin," Lee said. "I ain't calling you Aunty Mirko."
Rumi laughed. "But it has such a nice ring to it!"
Lee grinned, shaking his head, and they all headed outside where Momo had already hailed a cab. A couple hours later, they'd met up with Rumi and were heading to meet up with the other heroes and sidekicks they'd be raiding Humarise facilities with. Rumi, Lee, and the others were assigned to Singapore, along with a handful of others, and were riding in armored trucks. Lee glanced at Mina, grinning as he took in her new outfit. It was actually one of four that Rumi had designed for her, since Momo had turned down her offer as she was already in about the perfect outfit for her Quirk anyway, unless the law changed and allowed her to put on even less clothing, and Toru could only wear the costume Lee had made or nothing, minus her gloves and boots. So, Rumi had gone all out on Mina's new costumes. One of them was very similar to her current one but with one large difference. It had slits, tears, and missing patches all through it to show a shockingly large amount of skin all over her body and making it look like the outfit might fall off at any second, despite it being very sturdy and secure. It looked as though her clothes had partially melted, and Lee loved it, but it wasn't the one she'd chosen to wear. Another she'd chosen not to wear was actual a cosplay outfit of sorts from a very old, pre-Quirks anime of a character with pink skin. The outfit consisted of a black tube top that covered only the bottom half of her breasts, and tightly at that, then left her entire abdomen exposed, puffy white pants with a gold belt, which sloped down slightly in the front to tease a bit of her pelvis just below the waist, black, high-heeled boots with gold over the toes, and a pair of tight, black forearm sleeves. The third she'd chosen not to wear was also close to her normal costume. It featured a metal mask in place of her semi-solid one, pants that matched her normal blue and pink outfit, a yellow belt, the same boots as her normal outfit, metal knee pads, elbow-length gloves with exposed fingers and her palms uncovered to allow the use of her slime, her normal outfits vest, and an armored top the same shade of green as the pants with the armor being on the sides, and across her chest, leaving her abdomen and back exposed and stopping about an inch below her collar bones. It wasn't practical, but it looked really good on her. However, currently, she was in her final new costume. it was a glorified sports bra with her usual costumes green and pink design, tight black short shorts, her normal boots, and a new jacket with short sleeves that was pink on the body and black on the sleeves with the hood still fluffy white fur like her vest's.
Mina caught his stare and winked, and Lee grinned, shaking his head. He glanced at Rumi, who grinned knowingly, though she didn't look at him.
"Five minutes to arrival," the Singaporean top hero said, being the only local hero they had in their truck, Big Red Dot, announced. "Mirko, Mach, you two are the fastest, so you'll be the first in, and in charge of reaching the bomb. The rest of us will handle any resistance. You two just need to punch through."
"Understood," Lee nodded. "We'll get it done."
Finally, the trucks skidded to a stop and the order was passed. A second later, they were all charging, and Humarise's forces moved to stop them. They all wore red robes with white hoods and metal masks and wielded several types of weapons, though primarily bo staves. However, they were poorly trained and almost all Quirkless, so it took Lee and Rumi no time at all to break through. Then, as agreed, Lee activated his electricity and shot to the top of the building before starting back down, Rumi racing upward to meet him, both clearing every room and Legacy carefully mapping it as Lee went to warn him if he missed any secret passages or rooms. None were present, and when he met Rumi, both reported a failure to find the bombs. They both sped back to the fight, helping mop up anyone who remained, then left to rapidly search the immediate area, but there was nothing. Both returned, but even after hours of interrogation, none of the cultists new anything about the bombs, several not even knowing what they were talking about and being shocked by the attack that another branch of Humarise had conducted when shown the little footage that had made it onto the news. Finally, the WHA's head official ordered all teams to stand by at their locations, and they all headed for the nearest hotel.
"Now what?" Lee asked Rumi as they and Lee's three girlfriends sat around the table of a fairly upscale restaurant, having decided to go out for lunch.
"Now we wait," Rumi said. "But I'm putting you on standby to reinforce another group. How long can you keep your jetpack and boots active? Or can you run fast enough to run across water, and for how long?"
"I can run across water, but an ocean's too rough and uneven to run across," Lee said. "As for flying, about a day and a half without burning out, but I'd be unable to use electricity to fight after a day, restricting me to my base speed and no electricity to stun anyone, unless I can recharge."
Rumi nodded. "As I said, you're on standby to go and reinforce another team as needed."
Lee nodded. "I wish we could have been assigned to the US. I want authentic, New England fried dough, and you'd have loved the chance to meet Gambler again."
Rumi grinned knowingly and rolled her eyes. "While you're correct, what's New England fried dough?"
"Yeah, what the heck is that?" Mina asked.
"I've never heard of it," Toru nodded.
"It sounds interesting," Momo agreed.
Lee laughed. "I'll make some after the mission. Picture a deep fried pizza crust coated in powdered sugar, cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter."
All four girls groaned at the imagined taste, Rumi and Mina actually licking their lips. Again, Lee laughed. When their meals arrived, they all dug in hungrily, enjoying the nice food and company. However, just as they finished, Rumi's phone began to buzz. She frowned, picking it up and answering.
"Hello?" Rumi paused to listen before her eyes went wide. "What!? No way! What for?" She paused again. "He did what!?"
"What's going on?" Lee asked.
"Deku has been put on the Otheon wanted list," Rumi said. "The authorities there are saying he killed twelve people."
"What!?" all four of the others shouted.
"No way!" Toru argued.
"Deku would never do that!" Mina argued.
"There has to be more to it!" Momo agreed.
"What do we do?" Lee asked.
Rumi looked troubled as she listened on the phone. Finally, she hung up, shaking her head. "Lee, fly to Otheon and rendezvous with the team there, meet up with Deku if you can, but find out what happened. We can handle things here in Singapore."
Lee nodded, kissing his girlfriends and hugging Rumi, then deployed his exosuit and walked outside before leaping into the air and activating his jetpack and boots. Legacy directed him, and as he flew, he called Todoroki.
"Lee?" Todoroki asked.
"Can you talk freely?" Lee asked.
"For now, I think," Todoroki said.
"I've been sent to meet up with you all," Lee said. "It'll take me about twenty-four hours. Where to?"
"Klayd border," Todoroki said. "Deku's on his way there."
"Understood," Lee said, hanging up, Legacy adjusting their course.
Time passed slowly, but finally, he reached the train station where someone would get on a train headed to Klayd from Otheon. He landed atop a cliff overlooking it and carefully peeked out. There were dozens of police, and there was a checkpoint there that Midoriya definitely wasn't getting through. However, Lee also would have beaten Midoriya to it, so he sat down to wait, watching both the checkpoint and the road leading to it. Finally, after nearly a day, a cliff face in the distance began to explode rapidly. Lee stood, narrowing his eyes, watching flashes of green slam into a cliff and shatter it in a trail chasing Midoriya, who was carrying someone. Lee took off instantly with his jetpack, streaking across the distance just as the flashes of green, which Legacy had informed him were energy trails following arrows, were swapped for metal spheres that expanded massively when fired. The helicopter attacking Midoriya flew over him and his charge and dropped a line of the metal balls, but Midoriya attached his Blackwhip to the helicopter, yanking himself into the air before kicking, sending a massive blast of wind into the helicopter, forcing the attach to stop for a second. Then, it began again as a large male with metal spheres for knuckles leapt out after dropping a pair of spheres and nearly knocking the person with Midoriya off a cliff. He held a massive sphere over himself, but before he could drop it, Lee flashed past, taking him a second before ice encased him, leaving only his head uncovered. Lee dropped the extra off somewhere safe, then took off into the air, flipping, spinning, and swerving as arrow after arrow streaked toward him from the helicopter. He looked toward it and narrowed his eyes as they met a girl with a black, armored bodysuit and half-mask, a pale green cape, mint green hair, an archer's glove on her right hand and a similar sleeve on her left index finger, and her left thumb and pinky transformed into the arms of a bow with a green string formed from energy.
"Tell me everything you know, and maybe I'll release you," Todoroki told the one he'd captured, who was pleading for his life.
"Sure, sure!" the man agreed. "Just get me out of here!"
The archer fired a pair of arrows at Lee, which he avoided, only for them to explode into the one they'd captured. "Die you traitor!"
"Dammit!" Todoroki swore. "Bakugo, Lee, take her out!"
"Don't give me orders!" Bakugo seethed, rapid-firing his AP Shot into the helicopter before Lee batted an arrow aside, smashing it, then slammed into the side of the helicopter.
"Lightning Bomb!" Lee snarled, electricity screaming over the helicopter and frying all of its electrical equipment.
The girl reached back for an arrow, only to realize she had none left. Then, she held her right hand to her chest as her bow shrank back down into her fingers. "For humanity's salvation." She tipped forward and fell into the canyon below, only for Lee to explode off of the helicopter, catching her around the middle and flying back to the top of the cliff. "What are you doing!? Stop!"
"Calm down," Lee said. "There's no need for you to die."
"Yes there is!" she snapped. "I'm impure! I'm afflicted with the same curse as you!"
"So what?" Lee asked. "Having a Quirk doesn't make you worthless, even if your group is right about Quirks being a problem down the road. You're still a person with value. And think about it. If All Quirks were evil and had to be eradicated, then why would Humarise be led by a man with a Quirk? Why would he take people with Quirks in?"
"I..." she fell silent.
"It's because he needed more power in order to be able to achieve his goal of destroying the world," Lee said. "Not Quirks, the world. He's a hypocrite. He preaches that Quirks are evil, and those who have them are worthless, but then he has one himself, and his inner circle all possess Quirks. And his method for stopping Quirks from destroying the world is to destroy the world himself first."
"What are you talking about!?" the archer demanded. "He's not destroying the world!"
"Do you know how many Quirkless lived in that city Humarise attacked with IdeoTrigger?" Lee asked. "About a thousand. Do you know how many of them survived the entire city's inhabitants having their Quirks overloaded?"
"All of them!" the archer snapped.
"Fifty," Lee said, the Archer's eyes going wide. "In the chaos following IdeoTrigger's release, the Quirkless weren't effected by the chemical, but in the destruction cause by every Quirk overloading all at once, all but fifty of them died. And that was without Quirks like, for example, Endeavor's. Endeavor's, if overloaded by IdeoTrigger, would explode like a nuclear bomb and wipe out everyone, Quirkless included, for miles. If every Quirk on earth was overloaded, five percent of humanity, at best, would survive. Humanity can't recover from that. We'd go extinct. And even if he succeeded and humanity could recover, what would happen to Flect Turn, or his inner circle of Quirk users? They still have the supposed curse they were trying to cleanse the world of. Would they all commit suicide? Or would they all suddenly decide, 'you know what? This small level of Quirks is manageable. I'm allowed to survive after all.'"
The archer stared at the ground.
"If Quirks are the problem, there are other, more peaceful ways to deal with it," Lee said. "Ways that don't involve mass slaughter of entire cities. But before that, we need to stop Flect Turn from driving humanity into extinction."
"But...why save me?" she asked. "I'm your enemy. I was trying to kill you."
"Yes, you were," Lee nodded. "But that doesn't mean that you have to die. We're supposed to be heroes, and heroes save everyone they can. And part of saving an enemy is giving them the chance to change their lives. This is your chance. Help us stop Flect Turn."
"And what, I'll get a full pardon?" the archer asked skeptically.
"No," Lee said, shaking his head. "That much I can't promise. But what I can promise, is that we will all speak on your behalf to Endeavor." The others, minus Bakugo, nodded. "He's more reasonable now than he was before. You'd still be punished for your crimes, but you wouldn't spend your entire life in jail."
The archer was silent for a long while before sighing. "You never really figured out why we wanted the case, did you?"
"No," Midoriya said. "We just knew you wanted it."
"There's something hidden in there," the archer said. "A kill switch for the bombs."
"What!?" Midoriya gasped. "Wait, where is it!?"
"Here," Todoroki said, holding it up.
Lee stopped, staring at a piece hanging off the bottom. Just as he opened his mouth to point it out, Midoriya grabbed the case, having noticed it and pulled the piece out, bringing some strange tan piece of metal with white on the ends.
"What is this?" Midoriya asked.
"It's a puzzle box," Lee said. "Just...a super weird one. Legacy should be able to solve it."
Midoriya held it out to him, but the extra swiped it.
"Let me see that for a moment," he said.
"You think you can solve it, Rody?" Midoriya asked.
Rody nodded. He had red hair in a bushy ponytail, a white sweatshirt with short sleeves, jeans with the legs rolled up, black shoes, and a small pink bird with a blue bandana mask across its eyes standing on his shoulder. Finally, he finished with the puzzle and opened it, a pair of objects falling out. One was a three-inch stick of some kind that had blue lines sunning through it, and the other was an SD card.
"I'm not sure what this is," Midoriya said, holding up the long stick.
"It's the shutdown key," the archer said. "And I'd wager the SD card has the locations of our bombs and bases on it. My original target was trying to get it to the World Heroes Association."
"We don't need the SD Card, right?" Bakugo asked. "You could just tell us everything."
The archer shook her head. "I merely follow orders. Even I don't know where all of the bombs and bases are."
"Then what use are you!?" Bakugo demanded.
"It's not about use, Bakugo," Lee sighed. "Come on. Let's head to Klayd and find somewhere to check the SD card."
Everyone nodded and headed a safe distance from the train station before waiting to catch the train the hard way.
Leave a review.
