Author's Note: Since all my Mina's have the same name, this makes it difficult to write a story with them as characters. I will be using abbreviations of my fanfiction names to describe them. For the non-human Minas, I will simply call them by what they are because I think that's easier to remember. Here is the guide to the characters contained within in rough order of appearance:
Alien BFF = Alien Mina
Childrearing for Cosmic Horrors = Eldritch Mina
Forgiveness is the Attribute of the Strong = FAS Mina
I'll Be Back = IBB Mina
Rebuilding with Shattered Components = Robot Mina
Throw Yourself at the Ground and Miss = Winged Mina
The Great Sports Festival Seduction = GSFS Mina
A Time-Traveler's Guide to Wrecking Mischief and Mayhem = Grandfather for Mina (because Mina is All for One's granddaughter)
The Past was Erased, The Erasure was Forgotten, The Life Became the Truth = 1984 Mina
Never Let Go = Dad for Mina (because Mina is All for One's daughter)
Symbol of Hopelessness = SH Mina
Corgizuku = Corgizuku Mina
Izuku's Totally Normal Cat (of Mass Destruction) = ITNC Mina
The Ascendance of Humanity = Digital Mina
A sign over the door read: The Minas club has no rules, only fun! The brightly colored room looked like a cross between a club and a lounge. A disco ball flashed overhead, sending colorful rays of light across the many tan couches. Science fiction posters covered the walls, with a focus on the 1979 Alien movie. However the room was too well-lit and airy to seem like a proper nightclub. Sunlight streamed in from the high windows and skylight overhead. Old-fashioned jukeboxes and DDR machines lined the back wall. The snack dishes on the giant glass coffee table contained natto, rice, crackers, and okra.
Alien Mina walked through the door, her horns twitching. She wore a T-shirt with The Adventures of Endomorph emblazoned on the front. "Whoa, this place is amazing."
"Welcome!" A chorus of cheers came from the dozen or so Minas sitting on the couches. They raised glasses of juice, tea, and water.
Alien Mina beamed. "Did all of you receive club invitations from another version of yourself with glowing eyes full of stars and a shadow containing a few million tentacles?"
"Yeah." FAS Mina nodded. "She called herself the Ruinous Acid Who Devours the Galaxy, but we're referring to her as Eldritch Mina for short. She's not here yet. We're all eating snacks while we introduce ourselves. Would you like some natto?"
"Sounds lovely." Alien Mina stretched, and half a dozen pink tentacles popped out of her shoulders. "Ah, it feels good to be among fellow Andromedans so I can finally let my tentacles loose."
"You're an alien?" IBB Mina shrieked. Gasps arose from the rest.
Alien Mina blinked. "You're not aliens?"
"I'm not. We're mostly human," FAS Mina said. "I'm a hero student." She gestured at her U.A. uniform.
Winged Mina shrugged, sending her massive moth wings fluttering. "I have moth wings, but everyone in my universe has wings. Pretty sure I count as human. I'm a student at U.A. too."
"So am I." Alien Mina took a seat on a free couch. "I'm also part of an Andromedan research and aid mission to Earth."
"That is sooooooooo cool," a dozen Minas whispered at the same time.
Robot Mina looked older than the rest, perhaps college age, and wore a sparkly pink dress. She waved her hand in the air. "Ooo! Watch this! I'm a robot." Her wrist popped loose to reveal a gun hidden inside.
The entire group oo-ed and ahh-ed. (Except for one Mina rocking back and forth in the corner with her arms around herself, and one Mina with an oddly blank face.)
GSFS Mina raised her hand. "I propose a motion to elect Alien Me as president of the Minas Club because she is the most awesome of all of us."
The motion passed unanimously, and Robot Mina was declared Vice-President on account of being the second coolest.
"Order!" Alien Mina banged her tentacle on the table. "For my first act as president, I suggest we all gossip about romantic affairs from our respective universes while we eat."
This proposal was greeted with more cheers. "You go first," IBB Mina said, munching on a cracker.
Looking a bit disconcerted, Alien Mina said, "Well, uh, I'm pretty sure that Ochaco Uraraka has a crush on Izuku Midoriya." Her hopeful gaze asked if anyone else had more interesting gossip to share.
FAS Mina nodded. "Yeah, she's got a crush on him in my universe too. She hasn't done anything about it, though."
"Same here." IBB Mina sighed. "Gods, our classmates' love lives are boring if that's all we can come up with."
FAS Mina said slowly, "My Mineta runs around screaming about boobs and a harem all the time…does that count as interesting?" Her voice trailed off as the withering glares of the others made it clear that no, it did not, and yes, they had the same problem too.
GSFS Mina raised her hand. "My Izuku Midoriya dated Shouto Todoroki for six months without even noticing. It was hilarious."
Every black eye in the room swiveled to look at her. "Ooooooooo," the crowd chorused.
Her golden pupils literally glowing, Robot Mina cried, "Dish! How did they get together? Why didn't Midoriya realize he had a boyfriend?"
"Dish! Dish! Dish!" the other Minas chanted.
GSFS Mina laughed. "Midoriya sent Todoroki a care package after the sports festival, which Todoroki mistook as asking him out. They went to meals and movies together for months. Honestly the entire class thought they were dating. Then luckily Midoriya fell in love with Todoroki anyway and saved him from running off to become a Buddhist monk out of embarrassment."
"Oh, to be a moth on the wall during that drama," Winged Mina said wistfully, nibbling on her sleeve.
Grandfather for Mina said, "Izuku and Ochaco got married in the future in my AU."
"The future?" Robot Mina asked, tilting her head.
Grandfather for Mina nodded. "I'm their daughter, but I accidentally traveled back in time so now I attend U.A. with them. I get to watch their love story up close! It's exciting. I even accidentally caused my own conception."
Taking another cracker, Robot Mina said, "Weird. But given that all the heroes in my universe are robots, I can't call your universe too implausible. My Todoroki and Midoriya had a sizzling robot-mechanic star-crossed love affair. It was adorable."
The silent and blank-faced Mina looked up. A too-large grin spread her mouth open like the chasm formed by an earthquake. In a robotically cheerful voice, 1984 Mina said, "I am greatly enjoying this conversation, fellow mes. I would like more information about your universes, specifically your Izukus."
"Midoriya?" Robot Mina took a sip of her drink. "He's a great guy. He rebuilt me after I got scrapped."
"Is your Izuku guarded from kidnapping?" 1984 Mina persisted. "Does he have an All Might or an All for One around him?"
Robot Mina said, "The first model All Might lost his ability to be a hero a long time ago, and I've never heard of All for One."
"Very good." 1984 Mina wrote down in her notebook.
Leaning sideways on the couch, GSFS Mina whispered to her seatmate, "1984 Me seems a bit strange."
IBB Mina whispered back, "I have this odd feeling that if I'd paid more attention in English Literature class then I would pick up a clue from her name."
"You guys want gossip?" FAS Mina leaned forward. "Get this: in my universe, All for One traveled forward in time as child, got adopted by All Might, and defeated his own older self."
The others stared. IBB Mina asked, with curiosity not malice, "Are you stoned?"
FAS Mina pouted and crossed her arms. "It's true! Most of that is a secret, but I overhead Midoriya and Todoroki talking about it."
"Ah, a patented Todoroki conspiracy theory." IBB Mina nodded, and the others all exchanged mutual glances of satisfaction that the mystery had been solved.
"Then your Izuku is only guarded by a very young All for One. Interesting." 1984 Mina jotted down more notes.
IBB Mina sighed. "Compared to the rest of you, my universe is very normal. The closest thing to an exciting mystery is this." She pulled out a faded old picture, showing a pink-haired teenage boy with an older Izuku Midoriya. The adult Izuku had a metal arm. "My dad took this selfie way before I was born. Doesn't that guy in the background look exactly like Midoriya? I asked Midoriya if the one-armed guy might be his dad, but he insisted not."
Grandfather for Mina shot to her feet. "That's definitely a time-traveler! Izuku must be your father, too."
Shaking her head, IBB Mina said, "No, no, my dad is the pink-haired one. Time-travel isn't real! Well, not in my universe anyway."
Nibbling on her eraser, 1984 Mina muttered, "Nevertheless, I'll put you both down as possible relations."
"That pink-haired guy is your father?" Dad for Mina asked. They all nodded except for Grandfather for Mina. Shaking her head, Dad for Mina said, "How odd. All for One is my father. I just assumed it was the same for all of us."
A chorus of sympathetic moans went up among the crowd. Patting her on the back, Winged Mina said, "Oh, you poor thing. Clearly you have the worst universe."
"Even I wouldn't dispute that," Grandfather for Mina said. "At least I got Izuku as a dad even if he came with Grandpa All for One."
"Ah-ha!" 1984 Mina cried. "I've found a top priority target! What's the name of your universe again?"
"Never Let Go," Dad for Mina said hesitantly.
1984 Mina wrote that down. "My dear other self, would you like to come back to my universe with me? Everyone there is happy. Happy forever and ever." Her grin stretched even wider until it looked like it might split her face open.
Dad for Mina scooted away. "Am I the only one worried about her?" she whispered.
FAS Mina whispered back, "I'm more worried about her." She pointed at SH Mina, who had continued to rock back and forth and suck on her thumb for the entire conversation. "Hey, are you all right?"
SH Mina turned her face slowly. Tears left tracks down her cheeks. "They're dead. Everyone is dead. I held Kirishima's Nomu body in my arms and killed him for a second time. It was the only way to lay him to rest. As he died, his eyes were thanking me. Whenever I try to sleep, I hear his death rattle." Her gaze fell on the picture of adult Izuku with a metal arm. "It was him! The villain All or Nothing! He murdered all my friends!" She pounced on the photograph and ripped it to pieces. "I'll kill him!" Screaming, she ran out of the clubhouse.
A stunned silence fell over the club. Only the sound of 1984 Mina's pencil moving rapidly could be heard. She muttered, "A villain Izuku? Yes, the emperor will surely want that one."
The toilet flushed in the distance. Corgizuku Mina walked into the room, adjusting her hair. "What did I miss while I was in the bathroom? Are we still gossiping about the bone-breaking kid? Get this, in my universe, Midoriya turned into a corgi, bit All for One, urinated on Dr. Garaki, and convinced Tomura Shigaraki and Kurogiri to defect. It was epic."
No one spoke. Corgizuku Mina frowned. "Mes? What's wrong?"
Alien Mina wiped a bead of acid off her nose. "Oh, dear, that was an awful universe. Poor me."
Dad for Mina nodded. "I feel bad about calling my universe the worst."
IBB Mina whimpered, "My dad is going to be so upset that I lost his treasured picture." She gathered up the scraps. "I didn't even ask for permission before I borrowed it to show the club. I'm dead!"
"If you let me have the scraps, I can put your photo back together," Robot Mina said. "Technology is more advanced on my world." Her offer was greeted by an enthusiastic hug and babblings of gratitude.
"As president, I propose that our next club mission will be to track down SH Me and make sure she knows that we love her and want to help her." Alien Mina banged her tentacle down. This movement also passed unanimously.
Her eyes gleaming, 1984 Mina said, "I would love to know how to travel between all of your universes." However, after a rousing discussion, the Minas Club came no closer to figuring out the secrets to isekaing themselves. Getting hit by a truck did not sound like a good plan even though Robot Mina insisted she could survive it. They agreed to ask Eldritch Mina for help when she next showed up.
When the front door opened, everyone's heads shot up, hoping to see Eldritch Mina ooze in. Instead, ITNC Mina tossed off a cheerful grin. "Sorry I'm late! I had to take the long route in order to avoid Furry Might following me."
A massive cat the size of a mountain lion bounded into the room. Brown fur puffed out in all directions. Upon sighting the many Minas, he stopped and looked around in confusion.
"Oh, no, Furry Might!" ITNC Mina said in despair. "Midoriya is going to be so angry that I let his cat out of the dorms and all the way to a different world. How does he always manage to find me even across universes?" Heedless of her distress, Furry Might nuzzled her hand.
"Awwwww, kitty!" all the Minas cried at once, then they stampeded forward. Surrounding Furry Might, they petted and cooed over him. Fortunately there was enough giant cat to go around. Furry Might kept leaping on Alien Mina's tentacles until Robot Mina reached into her ear and pulled out a cat toy to distract him.
Winged Mina hung back, seeming wary of the giant cat, her wings pulled close around her. When one of the jukeboxes lit up, she pounced on it and tried to pick it up. "Shiny!"
She accidentally pressed a button, and music started playing. All the Minas turned to look. Hanging her head, Winged Mina put down the jukebox. "Sorry, I'm easily distracted by shinies."
Robot Mina laughed. "I used to be a jukebox! What old memories. Hey, everyone, let's dance!"
A happy cheer rose from the crowd. The Minas took to the dance floor, shimmying around the flashing lights from the disco ball. Furry Might leapt up on his hind legs and danced with them.
While they were partying, 1984 Mina snuck toward the door.
"Stop!" an electronic voice cried. The jukebox screen lit up, and Mina's face appeared in it. "I'm a Digital Mina from a universe where All for One took over the world and trapped everyone in virtual reality. I won't let that happen to any other universes! 1984 Me comes from a dystopia where All for One rules as the emperor. She's been brainwashed to help him. She took notes on all of your universes. You have to stop her!"
1984 Mina gulped, then ran.
The other Minas leapt forward. Furry Might, going with the flow, sank his claws into her pant leg and tripped her. Wrapping her tentacles around the prisoner, Alien Mina excreted a sleeping substance. 1984 Mina collapsed. Rocking her soothingly, Alien Mina said, "It's okay, me. We all love you. You are a beautiful person deserving of help. We won't abandon you. We'll find a way to restore your mind, or I'm not the Mina Club President."
Robot Mina confiscated the notebook, then shot out a flame from her fingertip, lighting it on fire.
IBB Mina shook her head. "Whoa, you all have so much more interesting universes than mine."
"My universe is pretty boring too," ITNC Mina said. "We don't have any secret villains lurking around or anyone related to All for One. We just have a totally normal dorm cat."
A glowing portal opened in the air, and a grumpy-faced Aizawa stepped out. He dragged Eldritch Mina by her horn.
"Mr. Aizawa!" the Minas chorused. They lined up in front of him, their hands behind their backs like guilty schoolgirls.
Aizawa scowled. "My Mina did not have permission to start a club that breaks the laws of reality, and she knows it."
"Sorry, Mr. Aizawa," Eldritch Mina muttered, hanging her head. Her shadow escaped her body and hid behind the jukebox.
Alien Mina stepped forward. "Sir, please, we need help. One of me had a mental breakdown and another one has been brainwashed by a villainous dictator. I know this club might be chaotic and damaging to the fourth wall, but we need this place. Please let us remain a club at least long enough to help our other selves." The other Minas nodded and added their pleas.
Shaking his head, Mr. Aizawa said, "I wasn't planning to shut you down. You just need to fill out the proper paperwork for your club, and a teacher advisor to make sure you don't cause any collapses in reality. I can supervise you. I'll help your brainwashed Mina, as well." He looked down at 1984 Mina. "I have a lot of experience unscrambling mortal minds thanks to my problem children."
"Thank you, Mr. Aizawa." Alien Mina beamed. "You're a good teacher no matter the universe!"
"Flatterer," he grumbled, a small smile on his lips.
OMAKE TIME!
Omake: Walk a Mile in Another's Shoes Mina
WMAS Mina: There's absolutely nothing strange going on in my universe. The closest we have to drama is Midoriya being an edgelord.
Alien Mina: Izuku "Ray of Sunshine" Midoriya is acting like an edgelord? There's definitely something wrong with your universe!
#
Omake: Swan for One Mina
SO Mina: Um, Izuku is a human in your universe? The only Izuku I know is a duckling. He lives in my neighbor's pond.
Winged Mina: Ah, so he has duck wings! My Izuku Midoriya can shift between seven types of wings.
SO Mina: No, he's literally a duckling.
Digital Mina: Does he have a duck quirk?
SO Mina: What is a quirk? I'm so confused.
Awful for One Mina: Damn, you all have such interesting universes. There's nothing exciting going on in mine except All for One making a fool of himself on twitter.
#
Omake: Schrödinger's Todoroki Mina
ST Mina: Do you want gossip? Because in my universe, Shouto Todoroki is Tomura Shigaraki's long-lost brother. Yes, I'm serious. They hang out together every weekend.
Alien Mina: Are you sure you're not the one who's a Todoroki in your universe? Because you're clearly a conspiracy theorist.
Winged Mina: I believe this completely and I'm going to tell everyone back in my universe that Tomura Shigaraki is actually Touya Todoroki.
#
Omake: Robot Mina Isekais YOU
Robot Mina: Time to get myself isekaied in order to travel to another universe and save myself! (She stands in front of a truck. The truck hits her and crumbles, leaving her unharmed.) Huh, I wonder what happens now that I killed the truck?
In another world:
Goddess: Great hero, you have been chosen to save our world from the Demon King. Uh…are you a truck?
Truck-kun: This is all I ever wanted. I only kept running over people in hopes that one day I too would be transported to a fantasy land and get to become a hero with a harem of beautiful engines.
#
Omake: Rejected
Robot Mina: I like to joke that Izuku is my dad because he rebuilt me from scratch.

Robot Mina: No one wanted to be kidnapped and live in your creepy dystopia!
#
Omake: Grandfather for Redacted
1984 All for One: Finally, I have my long-lost granddaughter in my grasp! I knew purchasing that world-traveling portal at the All for Ones club would pay off. Time for some family bonding with my adorable little devil girl.
IBB Mina: I keep telling you, I'm not your granddaughter. This is all a misunderstanding. My father is an ordinary salaryman who met a time-traveler once as a teen!
#
Omake: The Next Club Mission
Digital Mina: Everyone, wrap up the meeting. Unfortunately 1984 Me got off one text message before we captured her. Now we need to go rescue IBB Me from family bonding with All for One.
