Chapter 2:

The Incident at the Mall

Izuku had decided he would take a detour on his way to the mall to see all his friends. He had seen Todoroki and Iida a lot this summer as they were in the same agency. He also saw Tokoyami a surprising amount as he had teamed up with them during a joint mission with Hawks agency. But he will be seeing Uraraka, Yaoyorozu, and Tsuyu for the first time this summer so he figured he should get them something. He stopped by his favorite store to buy something neat there.

"Hello Midoriya, my favorite customer!" The manager said upon Izuku entrance. "How have you been?"

"I've been well, how about you Mr. Kakuno?" Izuku replies, looking around at the shelves.

"Business has been good, so I've been doing just as well. Looking for anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, actually, I'm looking for a gift for some friends I haven't seen in awhile."

"Ah, I can easily help you with that. We've recently got some sweet, cinnamon buns, will that work?"

"Yeah! That should be perfect, I'll need three please."

"Sure thing, they're each 184 Yen each, but I'll give you an exclusive deal of buy two get the third free."

"Thanks! You're the best, here is the 368 Yen. I should get going now, have a nice day!" Izuku began to leave.

"Of course, have a nice day, Midoriya." Mr. Kakuno got back to work.

Izuku now has 16 minutes to get to the mall, 3 cinnamon buns, and 6,232 Yen (roughly $56) left. He picked up the pace to hopefully make it in time.

Meanwhile at the mall…

Uraraka has gotten there 5 minutes early, impressive achievement for herself, but nothing compared to Iida who had been 20 minutes early and waiting for the others.

"Iida? How are you doin?" Uraraka said running up to him.

"Hello Uraraka, I've been well, how has your summer been?" Iida said, in a very robotic manner.

"I've been okay, I can't wait to get back to UA though!" Uraraka said as she sat down next to Iida. "How has your hero work been at Lumillion's agency? I've heard it's becoming a widely known hero agency, Lumillion's been doing some great work! No one else from the Big Three from two years ago has made their own agency yet."

"Yes, Lumillion is quite a prodigy, he is being compared to Hawks and Kamui because of his rapid success. As for my work, it's been very useful, I've learned a lot from Todoroki and Midoriya while working with them and even more from Lumillion. They all have a grasp on hero work, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if both of them make it into the Big Three this year." Iida said looking away from Uraraka, he was in a deep thought.

"Yeah, although it'll be a tough decision I'm sure… I could see Deku, Todoroki, Bakugo, Kirishima, Tsu, and Tokoyami being top picks, they've done amazing work and have amazing quirks," Uraraka said, in an uncharacteristic tone, "I'd be happy to see Tsu make it, she needs a win after one of the missions we went on…"

"Right, I read about what happened, I'm sorry things ended up that way." There was silence between them. "I hope you don't blame yourself for it."

"No, I don't blame myself. It's Ryukyu's fault, she was too haphazard and cocky. She decided to go into a mission without taking enough time to plan nor to team up with another agency… That's why she will definitely be falling from her 9th spot this year," Uraraka said in a big huff, she clearly needed to let off some steam, "this is why I brought everyone together, it'd be good to have a day of fun, since Tsu took it pretty hard…"

"I see, well I will make sure to try and make a fun experience for us all." Iida said looking directly at Uraraka.

"Yeah!" Uraraka exclaimed with a pumped fist and a great big smile.

Not even one minute later Yaoyorozu and Todoroki walk into the mall entrance, talking with each other.

"Hey guys! Over here!" Uraraka yelled, waving her hand.

"Hey, I see you and Iida are early!" Momo said while hurrying over. Todoroki was walking behind her at a normal pace.

"Hello Yaoyorozu, and Todoroki, how convenient you two arrive at the same time. We are still waiting for Midoriya and Asui by the way." Iida said getting up and doing his "robot hands".

"Makes sense," Momo said sitting next Uraraka, "so what have you been up to Iida?" Todoroki sat down next to her.

"I've been working at Lumillion's agency alongside Midoriya and Todoroki." Iida said gesturing towards Todoroki.

"Oh yeah, you mentioned working with those two before." Momo said looking towards Todoroki. Todoroki nodded. "Oh, by the way Iida, I started my internship at Uwabami's agency finally."

"Really?" Uraraka blurted. "Is she a good hero? I'm thinking on changing where I intern."

"Hm, you might as well as take a break until we graduate, after all, you've been interning for almost three years now, maybe a break will do you good." Momo said to Uraraka.

"You might be right. I'll have to ask some others too, but I should probably take a break…"

Two minutes later at exactly 1PM, Izuku walked into the mall. Todoroki noticed him almost instantly and waved towards him. Izuku managed to notice and walked towards him with a paper bag in tow.

"Hey Deku!" Uraraka yelled towards him, "how are ya?"

"Hi Uraraka, I'm good, and you?" Izuku said with his eyes closed. Usually they'd both be blushing quite a bit, but not too long ago they finally had a private conversation about their feelings for each other. They both agreed they weren't sure if they liked each other and decided to stay friends. So far it's been working.

"I'm great, Deku."

"Well I hope I could make it even better, surprise!" Deku said as he pulled the bag in front of him. "This is for you too, Yaoyorozu." He pulled out two cinnamon buns.

"Oh my goodness! For us! Really?" Uraraka said, visibly excited.

"Of course! I haven't seen you two in so long, I thought it would be nice to get these for you," Izuku spoke softly, "where's Tsu, I got her one too…"

"She seems to be running late, I'm sure she will be here soon." Uraraka said, already unwrapping her cinnamon bun.

They all talked for a few minutes while Uraraka and Momo ate. At one point, Momo accidentally knocked her purse onto the ground.

"Oops, I'll get that." Momo said, bending down.

"Here, I'll help." Todoroki said as he also bent down.

They both picked up the belongings that fell out and gave each other a smile. Everyone else looked at them kind of awkwardly.

"Hey, Todoroki," Izuku spoke, looking directly at him, "are you two, you know, together?"

"Yup." Todoroki said, then went back to what he was doing.

"W-what!?!" The rest of them said in unison. No one had any idea they were dating. Sure, there had been other couples before, although, not necessarily successful.

Mina Ashido had dated Kirishima for about two weeks in the beginning of the second year, until they broke up for unknown reasons. Ojiro and Hagakure started dating near the end of the second year, as far as everyone knows they are still together. Jirou and Kaminari dated during the first year, but realized they were better friends than boyfriend and girlfriend. Aoyama is supposedly dating a girl from France, but no one truly knows if that's true. And apparently Todoroki and Momo have been dating since the beginning of the summer.

Around 1:06, Tsuyu Asui finally arrived at the mall. Deku gave her her cinnamon bun which she gladly accepted. The group finally started walking around to shop. However not too long after starting, they heard a very recognizable voice…

"I don't think you should buy that damn headband!" An explosive voice said in the distance.

"Why? It perfectly describes how manly I am!" A rough voice said in the distance.

The group instantly recognized it was Bakugo and Kirishima.

"What are those two doing here?" Momo asked.

"Not sure, let's find out." Izuku answered.

The group went up an escalator to find Bakugo and Kirishima browsing a small side store that sold "Manly Accessories".

"You look stupid in that!" Bakugo yelled as he tried to rip it off, making a scene.

"As if! I look super manly!" Kirishima said pushing Bakugo away.

"Whatever," Bakugo said, "just hurry up, I don't want to spend the entire day here."

"Yeah, okay," Kirishima said as he looked towards Izuku and the group, "oh hey! Look, it's Midoriya, Uraraka, Iida, Momo, and Todoroki!"

"Oh," Bakugo said as he looks at them while they walk up, "hey Deku, round face, glasses, ponytail, and half n half." They all nodded towards them.

"Hey, Kacchan, and Kirishima, what're you guys doing?" Izuku askes.

"Oh, we are just shopping for some stuff then we will probably go to a movie or somethin." Kirishima said to Izuku. Bakugo looked away.

"Sounds fun," Izuku said looking at Bakugo's strange actions. Sure, Bakugo has mellowed out more, but he was acting strange. "Do you guys wanna tag along with us?"

"No," Bakugo abruptly interjected, "Kirishima and I were planning on leaving soon."

"Oh come on Bakugo, we might as well as tag along, we'll still have plenty of time to see a movie." Kirishima said, looking right at Bakugo.

"Fine." Bakugo replies looking away.

Izuku and the group were oblivious to the fact that Bakugo and Kirishima were actually dating. It has begun during the winter break of their second year. Their spark began during the mission to save Izuku from the League of Villains. That mission involved Eraser Head (Aizawa) leading a team of Uravity (Uraraka) and at that time Shoto (Todoroki) as the main team directly searching for Izuku, a second team of Ground Zero (Bakugo) and Red Riot (Kirishima) mainly there to stop members of the League of Villains trying to ambush/find team 1, and Froppy (Tsuyu) and Ingenium (Iida) to be near their exit and make sure no villain ruined their escape. During that mission, Kirishima and Bakugo fought against many villains, and after defeating the last of a group of villains, Bakugo was incredibly injured, he truly believed he was going to die, thus he admitted some secrets that weighed on his heart to Kirishima.

1. That Bakugo regretted his actions towards many of his classmates, he truly had anger issues that he didn't necessarily mean to unleash upon certain people

2. He can easily say Deku was someone he was always jealous of and admired as a friend and ally, not that he'd ever tell him that

3. That he was having trouble realizing he was gay, as he felt it wasn't right, and wasn't sure if it's really what he felt. It confused him recently, but upon being so close death, he realized and admitted, he was gay.

Bakugo did of course live, with a large claw shaped scar across his left pectoral, and not too long afterwards, Kirishima told Bakugo he felt he was also gay, or at least bi, he wasn't sure, but he was sure he was in love with Bakugo. They dated that day, roughly 7 months ago, to no one's knowledge.

The group, with an additional Bakugo and Kirishima, walked around to two more stores, until Izuku and Bakugo noticed a suspicious looking man looking down at the crowd from a rail on their level. Izuku and Bakugo nodded at each other, then walked towards him. The rest of the group eventually realized what was going on and decided to act. Kirishima ran down a level along with Iida, as they figured if anything got out of hand, they'd try to evacuate the people. Todoroki and Momo stayed on standby in case anything happened, and Uraraka and Tsuyu stayed on the second level to help evacuate the people there if anything got out of hand. Izuku and Bakugo were getting close to the man. He was wearing a long dark coat and had his hair down over his face, his hands were in his pockets as he peered down on the people. He definitely looked out of place for the summer setting.

"So will we hit him with the bump and the nice guy?" Bakugo whispered to Izuku.

"That should be fine." Izuku said, nodding.

Bakugo walked to Izuku's left, Bakugo "accidentally" bumped into the mysterious man. The man turned towards them both, Izuku looked at him waiting for his cue to help the man and secretly search him.

"Oh shoot, you should be careful wh-" Bakugo said towards the man, but the man suddenly lifted up the palm of his hand towards him.

"Well, I was debating whether I'd decide to kill some people today, but here goes!" The man said while he instantly shot a black, fire capturing orb at Bakugo. Bakugo had no time to dodge, instead he put out his hands to block the ball, that had sent him flying backwards. The ball pushed him straight through the metal railing, and into the far away wall with a heavy slam!

"Kacchan!" Izuku yelled as he activated 18% of One for All and leaped towards Bakugo.

Kirishima, Iida, Tsuyu, and Uraraka immediately began directing people away as they knew things may get ugly.

Todoroki immediately created an ice ring as to prevent the man from hurting civilians or getting away. The man just scoffed. Todoroki rode the ice around the man to try and find an opening. The man shot a black ball at Todoroki, but Todoroki slipped past it on his ice. However, the ball melted right through the ice and continued it's way in a straight line. Todoroki leapt at the man to attack him. The man sent a ball right at Todoroki. Todoroki then shot his flames right at the ball. However, the ball absorbed the flames, getting bigger and faster. Momo pulled Todoroki out of the way with a long, contractible cane that clamped to his leg. Todoroki landed on the ground next to Momo who now had an unbuttoned shirt. They stood across from their mysterious foe.

"Kacchan!" Izuku yelled as he kicked the orb upwards with 30% power, now freeing Bakugo from against the wall.

"Damn it… that really messed up my back," Kacchan said under his breath, "be careful, those balls burn, badly." Bakugo showed off his hands, they were filled with burn marks. "I have a slight resistance to burns on my hands because of my quirk, but that's hot stuff, be careful."

"Alright, I'll go help Todoroki and Yaoyorozu!" Izuku said as he leapt away at 18%.

Kirishima and Iida were getting the stragglers away before danger occurred, same as Uraraka and Tsuyu. Things were going well, that is until a rogue orb flew straight towards a woman and her kid on the lower level, the same one that was powered up by Todoroki. Kirishima leapt towards the ball, activating his quirk and grabbing it. It burned like hell, even with his quirk.

"Damn it!" Kirishima yelled. The woman and the child ran away to evacuate. Kirishima then got out of the way and the ball kept going through the building. He had pain in his hands where he grabbed the ball. He then went back to evacuate people.

Todoroki and Momo were ready to counter. The man held out both of his hands. Let out a grunt, then launched a large ball from his right hand towards Momo. Momo created a shield specially created to block intense heat, on par with Endeavor's flames. The shield blocked it, but there was intense pressure pushing against it. Momo couldn't move. The man created a large orb in his left hand and ran at Todoroki with it, intending to hit him with it rather than launch it, Todoroki prepped a counter attack. Todoroki charged power in his left hand. The flames gathers around his hand.

Special Move: Prominence Blue Fist!!

The flames in Todoroki's left hand burned to a blue flame. He grabbed the ball as the man thrusted it towards him. They were both pushing it, in a clear deadlocke. Todoroki had to focus all his power in his left hand and the man was focusing his strength into pushing the ball. Suddenly, Izuku appeared.

"25% Smash!" Izuku yelled as punched the man's extended arm that was pushing the ball. The man's arm immediately broke and he passed out from the pain. The balls broke and small flames were released that faded away quite quickly.

"Are you alright Todoroki?" Izuku asked.

"I'm alright," Todoroki answers, "Momo, are you alright?"

"Yeah… it was tough holding off that ball…" Momo muttered as she buttoned up her shirt.

The police came by almost immediately when the conflict began. They helped Uraraka, Tsuyu, Kirishima, and Iida evacuate the people and then arrested the mysterious man. Todoroki melted the ice very quickly with almost no trace. The damage was kept to a minimum by the students expert skill. The most injured person was Bakugo, due to his back and hands. Kirishima was given light burn cream for his hands. Bakugo was given ice and bandages for hands to try and prevent blisters. His hands did have fire resistance, thus, the injuries would heal easily. However, his back wasn't so good. He was told to wear a back brace and wasn't allowed to do anything to stress his back. He, of course, ignored the orders and did what he wanted. Luckily for him, he wasn't very affected by the injury.

Their trip at the mall ended quicker than they wanted. While Izuku, Bakugo, Todoroki, and Momo had to show their provisional licence and explain what happened to the police for the police report, Uraraka and Tsuyu left to go to their homes, Iida went directly to pack and go to UA (at 2:10, they are required to be there by 7), and Kirishima waited for Bakugo.

Izuku was the last one to leave for the report. Bakugo and Kirishima left immediately to go catch a movie, Todoroki and Momo decided to go to a movie too, and Izuku was left alone. He had a lot of time on his hands and wasn't sure what to do. He enjoyed seeing everyone again, it was nice. He couldn't wait for their traditional end of break party they had twice a year, one for summer and one for winter. Izuku decided to head home early.
