CoolK: Diego and Hot Pants will return in time. Santana COULD'VE eaten them, but remember he was sparing their lives. Also...I wouldn't say he became intangible, more so that he changed his body...

Coco Jumbo: Yes, uncertain. Kyoka isn't entirely safe anymore, not with Santana and Susan running around...no one is.

Kosaku Valentine: I want to start utilizing the other members of Class 1A a bit more. As for Santana's stand, I kind of based it off of Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat, just seemed fitting.

TheSBRdude: The final showdown with Santana isn't coming for a while, although Johnny might not be the one to finish the Pillar Man off, he will definitely be involved. Also, I can give you a hint on Santana's ability: think about his master.

...

"So...want to screw with Mineta?" Johnny asked Izuku, the greenie giving him a confused look.

"I mean...he's been terrible to the girls...what would it be?"

Class 1A was doing a segment on interrogation tactics, and Johnny was paired up with his childhood friend. They were going to be practicing on Mineta, and Johnny was sick and tired of the grape-head's harassment.

"So...we both know he's been terrified of me since I threatened him at the Sports Festival..."

"Right."

"Wouldn't it be funny if you were the bad cop, and I was the good cop? He'd lose his cool faster than Kaminari loses his brain!"

"HEY!" Said electric quirk user yelled from across the room.

"That's actually a brilliant idea JoJo! We'd be subverting expectations! It'sactuallyagoodide atochangethingsupeveryonceandawhilesincesomevillainsmightbeawareofyourquirkandpersonality,honestlyIshouldhavethoughtofthatsooner-"

"Oi, bad cops don't mutter."

"S-sorry."

"Bad cops don't stutter either."

Izuku shut his mouth, and tried to morph his face into a glare.

"You look like you just shat your pants, but it's close enough. Ready?"

"...yes..."

...

Mineta sat patiently, waiting for his interrogators to arrive. I hope it's Yaoyorozu...I'd let her interrogate me all day lo-

Izuku Midoryia came through the door with a look that suggested that he was constipated, and slammed the door shut behind him. Oh...it's Midoryia. Well, he isn't very scary, so this should be-

Johnny Kujo opened the door, giving Midoryia an unenthused look, the green haired hero had accidentally slammed the door in his face. Midoryia gave him an apologetic look, before making his pooping face again and slamming his hand on the table.

"Talk Mineta, NOW!"

"Midoryia...?"

Johnny slowly strolled over, and Mineta shrank away from the approaching Joestar, before Johnny suddenly flashed him a sympathetic smile. "Don't pressure him like that Izuku, he'll tell us when he's ready."

"W-what's happening?!"

"You're going to tell us where the bomb is, that's what's happening!" Izuku grabbed Mineta by the collar and lifted him up, the class pervert wincing from the speed at which Izuku did so. "Oh, sorry, was that too rough?"

Johnny gave Izuku a look.

"I mean...that was only a taste of what I will do to you if you don't tell me where the bomb is!"

"Listen, I don't know how long I can keep my partner in check Mineta. You better tell him what he needs to know, or I won't be able to stop him."

"Midoryia? Please, he wouldn't hurt a fly-"

Izuku threw Mineta back into the chair. "TALK!"

"Hey, that's enough...would you like a glass of water?"

Mineta recoiled from said glass. "What is that, cyanide?!"

"It's...water."

"No it isn't! It can't be, you wouldn't give me something like this!"

Izuku got in Mineta's face. "I'll give you much worse!"

Johnny suddenly popped up from behind the chair, and began rubbing Mineta's shoulders. "There, there...let's release some of that tension, shall we?"

"U-uh, I..."

Johnny's hands were getting closer to Mineta's neck.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH! HE'S GOING TO STRANGLE ME!"

"I'm easing the tension in your shoulders, relax." Johnny moved his hands away from Mineta's neck, and put them up in surrender. "I'm only being nice, Minoru."

"WHY ARE YOU SAYING MY FIRST NAME?! WHY IS HE SAYING MY FIRST NAME?!"

Izuku growled, well at least he tried, he ended up sounding more like a kitten. "You aren't answering my questions, Mineta. WHERE IS THE BOMB?!"

"I'M TOO PETRIFIED TO ANSWER!"

"Hey, take a deep breath Minoru...take your time. You can talk when you're ready."

"STOP IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"

...

The rest of the class was watching the scene with a mixture of shock and amusement.

"Why is JoJo scarier as the good cop?" Mina wondered aloud.

Gyro was on the floor, crying from laughter. "Look at the little bastard squirm, Johnny didn't even do anything to him!"

Kyoka smiled, a gentle amusement in her eyes. "Guess that's JoJo for you."

...

"I GIVE UP! " Mineta screamed, grabbing his head, shivering in terror. Johnny patted him on the shoulder. "Good man, see Izuku? You don't always have to be the bad cop. You just have to be understanding."

"Y-yeah, okay..."

Johnny and Izuku left the room, leaving Mineta cowering in the corner.

...

Gyro sighed, pressing his nose against the door in exasperation. "What's wrong Zeppeli?" His partner, Iida said. "I don't know if I can compete with what Johnny did."

"Not to worry Zeppeli! You're still new to this after all, let me take charge!"

Buddy, you have no idea how wrong you are.

Gyro opened the door, only to see Momo Yaoyorozu waiting patiently on the other side. He turned to Iida. "Never mind, Mr. Representative...I've got this."

Gyro pulled up a chair and sat down across from Momo, his green eyes fixated on her. She gave no indication that she was fazed by his stare. "Yaomomo."

"Zeppeli."

"Call me Gyro."

"Okay."

"You want to tell me where the bomb is?"

"No."

Iida frowned. "Zeppeli, this isn't going any-"

"Okay, that's fine...let's just talk."

"...talk?"

"Yeah, I mean I'd love to get to know you better, you're obviously not going to crack, so why even bother, you know? "

"ZEPPELI, YOU CAN'T JUST USE TRAINING TO SOCIALI-" Gyro shot Iida a glare, and the class representative backed down.

Momo raised an eyebrow. "You know, as flattered as I am that you want to get to know me, Iida is right, you can't just abandon the exercise."

"I'm not. Is it wrong to get to know the person you're interrogating? Wouldn't you want to know things about them to make it easier?"

"I...you've got a point."

"So, let's just talk. No questions, no mission, just you and me."

"And me! Don't forget about me!"

"You just stand there and look imposing Iida, gotta make this look somewhat believable."

...

"What the hell is Gyro doing?! Trying to flirt with her NOW, in the middle of an exercise?! What an idiot!" Kyoka exclaimed, shaking her head. "Way to think with your dick Gyro Zeppeli..."

"No..." Kyoka turned to Johnny, who was standing next to her with Izuku. "I know what he's doing, he's taking the casual approach."

"Casual...approach?"

"He's turning it into a conversation, lowering her guard. Gyro isn't slacking off, he's just pretending to."

"Ah, I see!" Izuku exclaimed, and began writing about it in his notebook.

Where...where did he get that?

...

"That's so sad...I'm sorry you had to go through that." Momo said sympathetically.

"It's fine, my dad wanted me to do one thing, I wanted to be something else. It's my life, and if he wants to control it, then he won't be a part of it." Gyro responded with a shrug.

"I agree, he has no right to decide who you want to be."

"Thank you. You know, you're really nice, I appreciate that."

Momo flushed with embarrassment. "Well, I'm trying to be a hero after all, being nice is a staple of being one."

"I'm glad you think so, some people would say it would be for the money."

"Money will only get you so far, if it's the only thing you desire, then you're living a shallow life."

"And that's coming from a rich girl!" Gyro chuckled, and Momo joined in. Iida had fallen asleep at that point.

"You know, I'm glad I'm getting to know a bit more about you Gyro, even if you are just trying to get me to slip up." Momo smiled.

Gyro blinked, before he returned it. "You caught on, huh? Nice, and smart...quite the package deal."

"Oh stop it!"

...

Kyoka frowned as she entered the room, Mina in tow. They were interrogating Johnny, or all people.

Kyoka clenched her hands out of nervousness. It wasn't because she had feelings for him, but rather because Johnny was notoriously hard to crack. How could you interrogate a guy that's been through hell?

No matter what she did, Johnny probably went through something ten times worse.

Mina sat down across from him, while Kyoka moved next to her. Johnny was giving them a blank stare, it was clear he wasn't going to budge.

"Hi JoJo! We just wanted you to answer a few questions!" Mina said, bubbly as always.

Johnny said nothing.

Oh...he's using the silent treatment, huh? Kyoka thought to herself. Then she smiled. "If you aren't going to talk...maybe I should just have some fun with you."

Johnny raised an eyebrow, but continued to be silent.

Mina turned toward Kyoka. "Fun with him, huh?"

"N-not what I meant!"

Kyoka turned towards Johnny. "Here's the deal, JoJo. You tell us where the bomb is, and I won't tell Ashido about your...secret."

Mina instantly perked up. "SECRET? JoJo has a secret now, does he?"

"Yeah, I may or may not have found out how he named his stand."

Johnny's eyes widened, and he glared at Kyoka, but her sly smile wasn't going anywhere. "Do you really want that sensitive information in the hands of the most gossipy girl in class, or are you going to give us what we want."

Johnny pressed his lips together, his face was starting to turn pale. Is...is he holding his breath?

Kyoka brought her face dangerously close to his, their noses almost touching. "Then I guess the whole class will now where Tusk came from...won't they?"

Kyoka turned to Mina. "Okay, so you know the ba-"

"Fine! Fine! You win!"

Kyoka smiled at her friend, who was extremely red in the face. How do you interrogate a guy who's been through hell? Simple. You embarrass the hell right out of him.

Truthfully, the fact that Johnny was so embarrassed about something as simple as liking a band, it was one of the things that drew her to him in the first place. Despite all the horrible things he went through...he was still human.

Mina pouted as she went through the door, disappointed that she wouldn't learn Johnny's secret, and Kyoka paused in the doorframe.

"You know I wasn't actually going to tell her, right?"

"You would be dead if you did."

"Sure JoJo...sure."

Kyoka left the room, and Johnny got up and sighed. Blackmail Kyoka, really?

She's definitely going to be using that in the future.

...

Joseph gritted his teeth, a mix of fear and anger flooding his body. He was back at the Joestar Mansion, on a call with his grandson, and what Jotaro had just told him was nothing short of bad news.

"Son of a bitch...he just won't die!"

"I'm sorry Gramps...but Santana is more of a threat than ever. Not to mention that my ex-wife disappeared off the face of the Earth."

"I just want this Pillar Man bullshit to be over! Decades Jotaro, I've been dealing with it for decades!"

"I know...I'll try my best to locate him so you don't have to."

"Will Johnny have to be involved?"

"No...no he won't. I know he's certainly strong enough, but he already went through too many near-death experiences for someone to handle. So...for now anyway, I'm sidelining him, he needs to heal. Let the adults handle it for now."

"I get it."

"Also...I have a question. You met Valentine, do you think we can trust him?"

"No. He's crafty, he always has some sort of ulterior motive...but he's the only lead we have."

Jotaro sighed over the phone. "Remember when this was about hunting vampires?"

"Simpler times..."

...

"JoJo...can we talk?"

Izuku stood in the doorway of Johnny's dorm room, and judging from his face, he was serious. Johnny patted his bed, and Izuku came and sat down.

"JoJo...I know you did something to Valentine."

Johnny grimaced. I knew he would figure it out eventually, but this is too soon.

"How did you figure it out?"

"I overheard your dad talking about it...JoJo why did you lie to me?"

"I...I was afraid you would hat-"

"NO! I would never hate you! JoJo...remember earlier in the year, when you said that I was a brother to you? Do you still feel the same way?"

"Without a single doubt."

"Well, it goes both ways! You were there for me when no one else was, when I was diagnosed quirkless, you were the one who picked me back up. That's what you do JoJo, you were...no you ARE my hero, my brother, and I will always have your back, like you have mine."

Johnny frowned. What was he thinking? Izuku is his oldest friend, why would he lie to him? Why would he break the trust of someone so close to him?

Lying was Valentine's thing. Not Johnny's.

"I'm...I'm so sorry. I'm an idiot, I should've just told you, but I was so scared that I would lose you..."

"Never. I...I don't approve of killing, but I don't blame you...you did what you had to do, you wouldn't have it if wasn't the right thing."

"You have to understand Izuku...you've never had one foot in the grave, you've never had to look death in the eye. You've never had to see anyone die...and I don't want that for you."

"I know...and I'm sorry you have. But, I can help...I will always be there for you JoJo...I promise!"

Johnny smiled, and brought Izuku into a hug. "Goddamn you and your mushy speeches, always making me feel better and shit."

Izuku returned it. "You were my hero, JoJo, let me be yours."

"Alright."
