Alright, I know this chapter is a bit late. My laptop decided to update Thursday morning and proceeded not to work for the rest of the day. Then Friday and Saturday, I caught a nasty stomach bug that's been making it way through my family. But this morning I was feeling better, so I decided to post both for Project Velocity and Electric Heart.

As always I do not own MY HERO ACADEMIA or any of their characters.

With that, let's start with a bang.

After their first evaluation, Izuku and Bakugo took Prime Minister Renzo's praise and used it as motivation to train harder. They were only supposed to train on the weekend, only sparring until Sensei Hitomu and Sensei Hakaku's Supervisor. However, with their excellent grades and work ethic, Izuku and Bkaugo often found themselves bored most evenings. They had first tried to fill their boredom with chores around the house, yet they were so efficient that it didn't stay a solution for very long and they were back to square one. It was one Wednesday that Bakugo suggested that they forgo waiting until the weekend and just spar in their backyard.

Izuku was hesitant in the beginning but after two hours of staring up at his room's ceiling as he lay on his bed. Well, needless to say, Izuku caved. With a sigh, he hopped off his bed and left the apartment. He walked down the stairs of the apartment complex and pointed himself in the direction of Bakugo's house. He then let his feet carry him the distance, thinking about how much trouble he could get in. After walking the short distance to Bakugo's house, Izuku walked up the driveway and headed to the door. Where he knocked and waited

He didn't have to wait for very long, as Bakugo was quick to answer the door. He was wearing his normal black shirt with a skull on it and a pair of cargo shorts, but he had sparring gloves and knee pads on. He tossed Izuku a pair, and as Izuku slipped them on, he followed Bakugo to the backyard. After both agreeing to the common sense of not using their quirks to fight, they began furthering their training.

Something Mitsuki was too happy to see. She had come downstairs, taking a break from her yoga and was getting a glass of water. She was leaning against the counter taking a sip where she heard a hard thud. Following the noise, she looked out and saw her son laying on Izuku's back.

Fire filled her eyes, as she looked through the kitchen and found a mixing bowl. She quickly filled it with ice-cold water from the sink. Once it was full, she carried it out from the kitchen, through the dining room door, into the background and over to the mess of boys.

As she walked, she heard Izuku trying to warn her son, but Bakugo wasn't listening. Well until Mitsuki stood over him and dumped the contents of the mixing bowl. The water flowed over Bakugo's spiky hair and soaked his shirt. After which Bakugo was quick to get off Izuku, then both of them received an earful, and Mistuki had chosen to use some words that would make even Mareo's ears go red.

Then after a long and not kid friendly word filled call to Inko, the mothers agreed that their sons would be allowed to continue sparring on the weekdays, with the rules of 1, either mother would have to be present for the fights, and they would be allowed to end them at any time. 2. The boys were allowed to train on weekends, as long as their grades stayed up and they didn't fail any test.

After agreeing to the rules, when they were bored, Izuku and Bakugo would walk to each other's house and train. Training usually lasted until dinner and whoever was visiting was sent home, but a few times Izuku and Bakugo would choose to spar until late into the evening. But their grades never dropped, because as they were spared they would quiz each other on the homework, allowing free hits if either of them got a question wrong. But Training and Sparring weren't the only things the boys filled their free hours with.

If they weren't training they were doing community service. It began with picking up the trash within the local parks and keeping them clean, but as they got older they began doing volunteer work. Volunteering at shelters and food banks, or moving families within the community move in or out of their homes. When they turned 12, Mareo had Izuku and Bakugo begin weight training, but they quickly got bored lifting weights.

To combine their training and volunteer work, every Thursday and Friday Izuku and Bakugo would ride their bikes to the local beach and pick up the trash. They began with the lighter, smaller stuff, but within two weeks they had worked until they worked up to the heavier stuff. Such as old refrigerators, ovens, freezers, washing machines and dishwashers, some were big enough that they had to work together to lift them.

With the smaller item, they were about to throw them into the trash bin, but with the larger items, Izuku and Bakugo would carry them to the sidewalk. Leaving most on the edge of the parking lot, and always making sure to call city waste disposal before they left for the day. It was exhausting work, making the boys always sleep hard those days, but it wasn't long before they began to see the result of their hard work. And every time either of them was shirtless and they looked in a mirror they were reminded why they were so happy to have a chance to train to become heroes.

Then came the missions. They were simple missions, tailing a person that would be a member of Project Velocity in disguise. And with each mission, there would be different parameters Izuku and Bakugo had to meet. Such as not losing their target, or losing their target then finding them again, keeping a 50 meters distance or being right behind their targets.

Their skills in tracking and stealth grew with each mission the boys undertook. Mareo tracked their progress and knew that with each new mission a new challenge needed to be added. Each one is more difficult than the previous one, going further and further to test the limits of the boys, all to help them become pro heroes in the future.

Then one day when they were 13, they received a mission that went a bit sideways.

Izuku was hanging upside down, with his rifle aimed at a target 500 yards away. He was hanging upside down as his right leg was tied in a rope that suspended him 30 feet in the air. So while Izuku focused on his shot, he had to make sure his feet didn't slip or he would fall and Mareo conveniently forgot to add padding to the floor. Izuku looked away from his rifle and up at his foot, the foot had begun to dig a bit into his skin, but not enough to cause any harm.

Izuku wiggled his toes a bit, but his foot didn't move. Satisfied that he wasn't going to fall, Izuku dropped his head and closed his left eye to align his shot again. With the target 500 yards out, it should have been impossible to see it, but with his enhanced eyesight, to Izuku the target might as well be 50 yards away. Izuku's vision swayed back and forth as he focused on the middle ring of the target.

He moved his barrel half a degree to the right and a little up, then was perfectly aligned to the bullseye. Izuk opened his off-eye and took a small breath. His entire body was relaxed and he could hear Bakugo's explosions going off in the distance, the taste of the air was stale from the AC as it created a small breeze. Izuku flexed his right arm and a gunshot rang through the building.

Izuku watched as the purple and green bullet whizzed through the air and went into the target. Half an inch from the bullseye. Izuku sighed as he had missed the centre, his right arm fell as he relaxed it and let gravity take over. He had trained a lot in the last week to improve his aim in odd positions, but it was clear there was some improvement that could be made.

"You're half an inch left, but impressive from that distance and position." - Mareo's voice came through an earpiece in Izuku's ear, "Better than you shot last week, you've improved greatly. Now untie yourself and head over, I've got another mission for you and Bakugo."

Over the last eight years, Mareo had poured his head and soul into training Izuku and Bakugo. While Mareo saw Izuku as the frontrunner, he knew he couldn't play favourites, so when he could, he personally trained the boys. And not once during those times, had he broken his promise to Inko. He didn't mention Lady Nagant or her name as Kaina Tsutsumi, nor did Izuku ask questions about his quirk. He believed the lie was an odd quirk combination between Hisahsi's fire breath and Inko's telekinesis. A lie that was easy to believe as Bakugo's quirk was the same result, a perfect combination of his parent's quirk.

"On it Sir," Izuku said as he transformed his arm back. Izuku then hauled his upper body to his right foot. He began to untie the knot that held the rope from around his leg. It took a bit as the knot had gotten tighter than Izuku had expected, once he had undone the knot his foot quickly slipped out. Forcing Izuku to quickly grab the rope so he didn't fall to the ground. Izuku then gracefully climbed down the rope and was soon on the ground. Izuku took a bit to stretch his body out, kicking his right leg out to pop his knee and ankle, then stretching his right arm out to get the numb feeling to go away. Once his body was fully relaxed, Izuku grabbed his jacket, threw it over his shoulder then began walking back to where Mareo was waiting for them "This time you've got a high value target." Mareo said, keywords for "don't lose the target and stay within 15 meters of them", "They're believed to be a higher-up of a quirk drug ring, and recently they've had frequent meeting with their boss. One such meeting is happening today two hours from now at 6:00, however, we don't know the location. So you'll need to follow this person." Mareo pulled out a photo of a disguised HPSc worker, wearing a light gray jacket with a black baseball cap and put it on the table, "Tag them and follow them to the meeting. After the meeting is over, call me and we'll talk about how well you did."

"Where are we suppose to find this man to follow him." Bakugo asked.

"Our source says he's a regular at the local KFC and has dinner there every Saturday. That's where you'll find him." Mareo said.

Izuku and Bakugo looked at the photo of the disguised HPSC worker and memorized the clothing. Once they had the photo memorized, they looked at Mareo and nodded, who nodded back. After a quick change and some refreshments, the two boys left to fulfil their mission. Hopping onto their bikes, they rode them to the local KFC. After locking their bikes to the bike rack, the two of them headed in.

Bakugo ordered a Spicey Chicken sandwich meal, while Izuku ordered a drink and a side of fries. After receiving their food, they walked over to a booth in the corner and ate their food.

As they waited for their target Izuku asked, "Why do you always have to order spicy food?"

"Yeah just because you can't handle spicy that well, doesn't mean I can't have it. Besides KFC is one of few the places where they're spicy opition is actually spicy." Bakugo said.

Izuku waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Well whatever they do, it's making my eyes water." Izuku took a small sip of his drink as he looked over the restaurant, keeping an eye on the entrance, yet no one matching the photo entered.

Until around 5:10 when a man wearing a grey jacket and black baseball cap walked it. As he walked it, he took off his baseball cap and booked it to one of his belt loops. While the man walked up to the counter to order his food, Izuku knocked Bakugo's elbow and nodded towards the man. Bakugo looked over and nodded back.

As the man walked up to the counter, the worker at the register said, "Oh Mr. Mokuhyō, lovely to have you back. You're usual."

"Yes, but switch the colesaw out for 2 biscuits." The man said as he pulled out his wallet. The worker nodded as they entered the order and then asked for payment and the man was more than happy to pay. After receiving the receipt, the man walked to a table.

A few minutes later, a worker walked out with the man's order and walked over to the man's table. The man thanks the worker and then began to enjoy his meal. Izuku and Bakugo kept a close eye on the man as he ate his food. Izuku got a refill on his drink, and while he was gone, Bakugo stole some of his fries.

Once the man was done eating, he slipped his baseball cap back on and left his tray by the trash bin. As the man left the building Izuku checked his phone and saw that it was 5:42, so he looked over at Bakugo who was doing the same. Then without a word, they before stood up and casually walked out of the restaurant, but not before they refilled their drinks again.

Izuku was the first the spot the black baseball cap and pointed to it with his drink, Bakugo nodded and they followed their mark."

As they walked, Bakugo rechecked his phone and noted the time, "The meeing location must be closed by, since it happens in 9 minutes and he's walking."

Their target had reached a crosswalk and was waiting for it, so in turn Bakugo and Izuku slowed their pace down, taking sips of their drinks.

"We're heading west, towards downtown, the drug targets usually go north." Izuku said, as he downed the rest of his drink and threw it into a trash bin as they walked past one. The crosswalk light switched to white and their target began walking across the street, so Izuku and Bakugo returned to normal walking speed and as they reached the crosswalk the target was already across.

"Mareo's probably throwing us for a loop, there's always some new in theses test and he has been telling us lately that not all villains are the same." Bakugo said, to which Izuku agreed with a nod. They walked across the street and continued to follow their target. As they walked, kept a close eye on their target, while doing very well to make it appear they weren't tailing someone. Izuku had his phone out and headphones in, to make appear he was looking at videos online, though his phone was muted, while Bakugo was playing a game.

They kept a steady pace behind their target and the only time they lost sight of their target was when a group of college students came out of a restaurant and momentarily blocked their views. Izuku and Bakugo were quick to walk around the group and spotted their target a little further down the road than they were expecting, yet they didn't increase their pace to catch up. Izuku then looked around to see where they were headed.

"He's headed to some warehouses." Izuku said, as he turned off his phone and slipped it into his pocket. He walked a little faster as the target disappeared between two warehouses. Bakugo quickly caught up and they looked around the corner and saw the target pulled out a key and walked it.

As another look at the training Izuku and Bakugo have received through Project Velocity, that will help them become pro heroes in the future.

Next Week: We get to see how this mission didn't exactly do as planned and how Izuku and Bakugo get themselves out of trouble.

Next Time: Ends Well
