AN: Here for an update! Yay! I am so glad you guys liked this story! It's my first time writing fanfiction for Boku no Hero Academia/My Hero Academia, so I am glad it went well! Sorry for the wait though, I didn't quite know how to write it. Shoutout to s082829 for being a wonderful idea wall!

Enjoy!~~~

Disclaimer: I do not own the glorious work of BNHA.

Momo heard both Uraraka's and Midnight's shouts to catch her falling classmate, so she decided to take action. However, she needed some help, and some help fast.

"Sero!"

"Huh?"

"Quick! Shoot some tape and catch him! He'll be coming fast, and he's injured so I'll make a catch blanket and some medical supplies! Can someone get Recovery Girl?" Momo shouted, quickly taking off her jacket to make said blanket and supplies.

Sero was surprised, blushed at what Momo was currently doing, but then quickly complied.

*Ding!* "That was Iida! He just texted and said he dashed over for Recovery Girl! Man, that guy thinks ahead! So manly!" That was Kirishima, enthusiastic at the last statement, relieved at the first, but still obviously worried for the class cinnamon-roll.

Sero's tape quickly caught Izuku and pulled him quickly towards the stands.

"He's coming in fast!"

"On it!" replied Momo as the padded blanket finished being created and popped out of her shirt front.

"Here, I'll help," said Shoji. He quickly jumped over the row of seats to where Sero was. He grabbed the blanket and spread it between his dupli-arms.

' Aha! A pseudo-net! Shoji's so manly in his calm, collective addition to our hero efforts. I wish I could have done more to help!' thought Kirishima, small, fake tears of sadness in his eyes. They quickly cleared up at the possible severity of what he was seeing. Would they catch him in time?

"Coming in and approaching 10 meters!" called out Kirishima.

Everyone steadied themselves.

Todoroki was in a slight state of shock. Not only had his whole world been turned upside down by Midoriya's bold statement, but now Midoriya was falling from the sky. And being rescued. He heard distant retching above him. He looked up.

"Oh, Uraraka will need help getting down. Sometimes even heroes need heroes, I guess."

Todoroki wasn't quite sure how to do this. 'An ice ladder? No, not stable enough and never been tried before. A slide? Same situation. How about I just . . . keep it simple.'

Todoroki stomped his right foot slightly on the ground and steadied himself. A large pillar of ice rose from the ground up towards his floating classmate, just barely enough room for two people to stand on. He added a guard rail around the top of the pillar platform, just to be safe.

"Need a little help there, Uraraka?" Todoroki called out with a very small smile. Well, more of a straight face than his usual small frown.

"That would be great, Todoroki." he grabbed her elbow and brought her down to stand atop the pillar. "Release! Thanks for saving me. I didn't really think about how I would get down when I shot myself up there." said Uraraka, a little bit sheepish. Both ignored the distant "splat!" they heard a ways off. (Not many people wanted to think about projectile vomiting.)

"It's fine. Anyone else would have done the same." Ochaco could tell that Shoto wasn't much for words.

"What's your plan for getting us down from here?" asked Uraraka.

"Melt the ice."

"Won't it turn into boiling water at our feet before it turns into steam?"

". . . You could use your quirk on me and we could slide down the side of the pillar? Like a fireman's pole?"

"Okay!" Uraraka used her quirk on herself again and Todoroki. And then threw up over the side of the pillar. Shoto walked to the opposite side from where Uraraka threw up.

"We'll go on this side" Shoto slapped the side of the previous ice pillar and made a pole-rod going all the way down the side of the pillar. He climbed over, holding onto the railing, then grabbed her waist, flipped her over the side, and pulled her against him outside the platform.

"We will need momentum to go down. . ."

Shoto raised his left arm above their heads. "Watch out this will be hot." He lit his hand on fire.

Coupled with the weightlessness of zero gravity, the chemical reaction of fire was enough momentum to have them gliding down the smaller ice pole down safely to the ground. Uraraka was blushing as she tried to not think too hard about Todoroki's firm arm muscles carrying her, or the fact that his shirt was half ripped off and his *ahem* defined chest and abdominal muscles were openly on display.

Izuku came flying into Shoji's arms, who once hearing Kirishima's cry, placed himself in front of Sero. By then Izuku had been released from the clutches of zero gravity, but still held enough momentum in his unconsciousness to come flying in the same direction.

"Hurry, put him across the chairs, he needs medical attention!"

"A RESCUE PLAN HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT! WELL DONE, STUDENTS OF CLASS 1-A! Recovery Girl is on her way from her temporary office!" Aizawa looked visibly relieved. The rescue efforts happened so fast that none of the pro heroes in the stands could figure out anything of how to help. "I kinda feel useless up here, geez. . ." everybody ignored Present Mic's guilty mutter over the mic.

No sooner had it been said that Recovery Girl came bustling into the stands where they were at.

"Hurry put him across the chairs, he needs urgent medical attention, most likely surgery!" Momo pulled a stretcher from her shirt. "Oh, good! You made a stretcher. Lay him on that then. You!" Recovery Girl pointed at Kirishima and then Momo. "Come with me. I'll need your help with carrying the stretcher, and you can make me quick supplies."

Momo nodded and quickly picked up the closest end of the stretcher (with Kirishima, who was glad he could continue to help in some way) and followed Recovery Girl out of the stands and out to the temporary office.

The consequences of this fight would be more than people could have ever thought, and far more damaging to Midoriya than anyone ever wanted.

AN: Ah! I'm so glad I got this finished! It was a little tough to figure out how everything would happen but I'm so glad everything worked out. Maybe there will be a spark of romance between Ochaco and Todoroki? His shirt was half ripped off when they went down the ice pole together. . ! ;D

Please vote on my profile for your selected pairing, (and I've added TodoOcha) I would really appreciate it. The next chapter is the turning point for Izuku's romance to be with Ochaco or Momo, so VOTE! (if you could review that would be nice too :) )

Next up: Surgery!

See you guys next time!

AN: Hello again everybody! It has been a long 2 years! I've made some small edits to Chapters 1 and 2 because I've finally figured out where I wanted to go next with this story, haha! The reason I didn't post (any updates really) was that I had no idea where the story is even going! but thanks to some friends on discord I have plenty of ideas, Muahahaha!

unfortunately, my new ideas for The Plunge specifically turn away from the direction this original plot bunny went, namely less romance and drama to more of an angst/hurt-comfort vibe. : whoops! Hopefully, sometime soon I can actually start writing more chapters and flesh out the plot a bit. (It doesn't help I have a herd of other plot bunnies in my head waiting to be written.) The new chapter (chapter 3) comes out. . . when it comes out, hehe.

Be safe y'all! Wear your masks and wash your hands, etc. See you next time!
