While Izuku and Setsuna had their date, lets check in on the gang, shall we?

"YOUR BROTHER IS ON A DATE?!" Hisashi asked.
"AND SHE'S CUTE?!" Inko beamed, tears stinging her eyes.
"YEAH, AND SHE APPROVES OF HIM BEING THE MUFASTA MAULER!"
Those were the words that came from the Midoriya household for a few hours once Izumi returned home and broke the news to her parents.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Well, that and the elated cheers and squeals.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Mitsuki Bakugo asked.
"DEKU'S ON A DATE!" Katsuki explained to his parents.
"WAIT, REALLY? NO SHIT?!" Masaru asked in confirmation, uncharacteristically raising his voice so that he could be heard.
"NO SHIT, OLD MAN!"
"…WELL ABOUT GOD DAMNNED TIME!" Masaru followed as his wife grabbed several beers (for her and her husband) and sodas for Katsuki.
"TO IZUKU!"
"TO IZUKU/DEKU!"
"OY! KATSUKI! I TOLD YOU TO STOP CALLING HIM THAT!"
"BITE ME, HAG!"
"SHIT LIKE THAT IS WHY YOU'RE SINGLE!"
"LIKE I GIVE A CRAP ABOUIT THAT CRAP!"
"WE WANT GRANDKIDS GOD DAMMIT!"

Tenshiro, a small bag from an arts and craft store under his arm, made his way to a small colorful building decorated by smiling flowers, suns and stars. He then entered said building, revealing it to be a daycare.
"Look, it's Ten-nii!" One little girl beamed, making the other children drop what they were doing and race over to him, reaching for a hug or pick up.
Tenshiro smiled warmly under his mask as he patted some of the kids on their heads and waved at others.
"There he is: Our future hero!"
Those words came from a lovely woman of raven hair in two pig tails, accompanied by a man with short green hair. The sight of these two always made Tenshiro beam; they were his mother and father, the owners and heads of this daycare.
"You did okay?" Tenshiro's father, Kotaro asked, smiling when his son nodded. Tenshiro then lifted up the bag he had brought.
"Oh sweetheart, how thoughtful!" Tenshiro's mother Kirin, beamed as she took the bag from her son. "Look children; Tenshiro brought drawing books!"
The children all beamed in joy and thanked the large boy just as the door opened.
"Yo!" Yoshimitsu waved at the door. "Kazuma? Takuma? Here to pick you up."
Twin blonde boy toddlers, one beaming at the other looking like he was on the verge of tears, waddled over to Yoshimitsu, who lifted them and chuckled as they nuzzled into his fur.
"See ya in a few days, Ten!"
After waving goodbye, Kirin escorted her son to the back of the daycare to help him clean up and change his mask.
"AIEEEEEE!"
A shriek startled mother and son before they looked to see Aria giggling as children clammered around her.
"Ohayo, Kirin-san! Kotaro-san!" The goth managed, flinging something into Kotaro's hands. "Tenny dropped his wallet! I just needed to return it!"
Tenshiro, wiping a cloth around his mouth, abandoned his cleaning and lifted Aria away from the children, shaking a finger in a 'no-no' matter to them.
"Sorry, Ten-nii…Pretty-san…" The children all apologized.
Kotaro smiled and motioned his son to put the girl down.
"Arigato, Aria." He said as he revealed a tray of cookies. "Would you like one?"
Aria smiled and accepted a cookie before turning to the children.
"Do you all want to hear how cool Ten-nii and Yoshi were at the UA test?"
The kids all sat down and listened intently as they each nibbled on a cookie.

Tadashi and Mira came back to their apartment; a small one with two tiny bedrooms (just enough for a window, desk and bed and a kitchenette with a TV).
"You want…. Burgers of Vermicelli for dinner?" Tadashi asked as he looked over DoorDash options. "Burgers will arrive quicker, but I know you've been craving some good noodles…"
"Tadashi, what am I to you?" Mira asked.
Tadashi sighed and put the phone down.
"…Mira, what brought this on?"' He asked in worry.
"All I did was let the others ride me like a steed." Mira said as he sat down. "Everyone has all these amazing Quirks and reasons for being heroes. And me? I follow you around and fill you with worry and second guesses you'd never make otherwise Does that sound like…"
Tadashi clapped his hands in front of Mira, who looked to see the utterly heartbroken look on his roommate's face.
"You reminded me of people." Tadashi said. "You remind me of how power should be used to aid those who need it, not to lord over others."
"…Izuku did that." Mira responded.
"Maybe he softened that idea into me, but who was it who leapt between us and begged us to stop?" Tadashi replied as he took Mira's hands into his own. "Mira; know this. Without you? I'd be another dime a dozen punk. Never forget or underplay what you did or do. You are my hero and…I…"
He struggled.
"….If you were not in my life? I don't see any point in anything. Friend, foe, more? I don't know or care."
Mira was silent at that.
"…Do you remember how we met?" Tadashi asked.
"Yeah…" Mira admitted but didn't elaborate.
"Well, that meeting? It gave me a sense of direction for the first time in my life. Order had ignored and hurt you and in Chaos you and I got to live and met our friends."
Tadashi then hugged Mira.
"And if anyone says you got no place? Screw what they say! We got All Might's recommendation for crying out loud! Their opinions mean nothing!"
Mira smiled and hugged Tadashi back.
"Sorry, Ta."
"Never apologize about something like that, Mira. Proves how much you care and want to do good." Tadashi smiled.
They stayed in silence for a minute before Mira asked.
"Can we get Vermecilli now?"
Tadashi reopened DoorDash and let Mira chose his dinner first.

Chi, Samio, Renji and Sakumo had decided to catch a movie after the test; eventually deciding to watch the Stars and Stripes Movie because Samio actually broke out the 'doe' eyes to see her idol in action.
"Now THAT is a badass, take no crap heroine!" Kuro beamed as they left the theatre. Samio beamed in agreement
"And for once, no forced romance or lavishing of details." Chi smirked, impressed, then held his friends back, aside from Renji, who lagged a bit as his minions clean up the theatre.
"Wassup?" The Minion-maker asked before he spied a sight that made them all beam:
Izuku and Setsuna buying two tickets to the next show and Setsuna opening the door for Izuku, who stammered he should've done that. Setsuna simply pouted cutely and then smirked as he pulled him in.
"…I think she'll be good for him."
"Yeah..ISA?! WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?!"
"Oh, I work here!" Isamu beamed as he got behind the ticket booth and began to ovate to other movie goers. "So, sweeties and cuties, what'll it be? Tearjerking heartwarming? Explotive actions? A painfully boring Docu-drama? Or mayhaps, an amazing animation from overseas or here at home?"
The gang looked at each other and spied they still had four hours left in the day.
"Isa!" Chi hollered. "Which of those animated movies would you recommend?"

Quasi bobbed his head to a Pre-Quirk era Pop song, knowingly on stepping on cracks in the sidewalks ducking under debris or cars that seemed to try and attack him, even doing handstands on them as he finally made his way over to his house.
"I love my life."
"Quasi!"
The cat boy turned to see a little boy jumping into his arms.
"Bonjour, Phobeus!" Quasi beamed as he nuzzled his nose with the boy. "Did you behave for Nanny?"
"A little bit of run never killed anyone." An older woman in the attire of a nun smiled. "How did you do?"
Quasi shrugged.
"All I could. Just got to wait to hear back."
The woman beamed and messed with Quasi's hair before her smiled turned impishly.
"You know…a certain mademoiselle came by to wish you luck."
Quasi blushed.
"But she just missed you and sent you a video."
Quasi checked his phone and placed Phoebus down to go and see the video in his room.
"MON DIEU, THAT GIRL!" Quasi beamed.

"I'm home!" Yami announced as she entered her father's lab. "Papa?"
"Oh, evening sweetie! I'm at the back!"
Smiling, the snake girl made over to the back of the room, where she found her father alternating between writing of a whiteboard, pouring chemicals into beakers, and tinkering on a support item of sorts.
"Hi, Papa." Yami smiled, pecking her father on the cheek.
"Hello princess. Did you eat yet?" the scientist smiled, offering his daughter a plate of eggs benedict, hashbrowns and an apple.
"…Daddy, I left that plate for you before I left. Did you eat all today?" The snake girl frowned at her father.
"….Um….I forgot?" He answered sheepishly.
A weak laugh escaped the two before Yami dragged her father away from his experiments to eat something.

Himiko had invited Hitoshi and Ben to Big Bang Burgers with her father, the Blood hero Vlad King and Himiko's younger siblings; Chara and Frisk, twins who shared her love of knives and had empowerment Quirks based on 'Determination' and 'Kindness.'
"Should've known Aizawa would try something…" The pro sighed, slurping down his drink in annoyance before smiling. "But I'm glad you three did so well. Not that I had any doubt."
The trio smiled in thanks as they continued to eat.
"Ben? Hitoshi? Just a heads up: Aizawa…"
"Is a hard-ass?" Hitoshi guessed, making Chara smile and giggle.
"Repressed and or resentful of Flashy quirks and heroes?" Ben followed, noting that Frisk was downtrodden.
"…I was going to say 'against any holding back,' but those work too." Vlad smiled.

Fen and Nanako had been finishing some Slurpee's as they neared Fen's compound when someone bumped into them:
A little girl with a horn and red eyes in dirty clothes and bandages. She was running from several men in Plague masks.
Without another word, Fen picked up the girl and used her webs top get to the roof while Nanako charged the attackers.
"No worry, sweetheart." Fen assured the little girl, already seeing some of the attackers flying. "Nanako is VERY strong."
"B-but Kai…" The girl started.
"HEY! WHAT'RE YOU DOING WITH THAT KID, CHISAKI!?" Nanako snapped at the leader of the attackers. "Wait…IS THAT KAITO'S GRANDDAUGHTER?! THE HELL HAVE YOU…HEY, GET BACK YOU COWARD!"
The once fearsome and cool Kai Chisaki had turned tail and ran the moment he was identified, only realziing that Eri's saviors were Yakuza Princesses when he returned to his home…
"…Shit."

"So, that smiling idiot is a teacher now, is he?"
Tomura was sitting in a recliner chair, reading the newspaper on All-Might accepting a teaching career at UA High. Miyako was giving him a lap dance as he stealthily stole grasps of her ass.
"What do you want to do about it, darling?"
"Nothing for right now. But Sensei will want him dead soon enough." Tomura smirked. "And pretty soon, I'll be making my own move..."
"Miya-nee?"
The two lovers tensed and looked to see a three-year-old girl rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Miyako's sensuality vanished, replaced with sisterly concern as she raced to pick up the little girl.
"Miyabi, what're doing up?" she cooed in worry. Tomura was quick to hide his father's hand and looked on in shared concern.
"I had a nightmare." Miyabi whimpered. "You and Tenko-nii went to talk to somebody like mama and papa…and you didn't come back."
Miyako shushed her sister as Tomura, pinky raised, patted Miyabi's head before making funny faces to cheer her up.
"We're not going anywhere, Miyabi." Miyako promised her sister. "And we'll always come back to you."
Tomura let the two sisters have their moment, mentally noting to asking Giran o n where their parents' last company was…and promising that by his lover's baby sister's next birthday?
The world would be different.
To be continued…
Mrotrax A/N: I did most of this chapter, with Knightmare Lord doing the Tomura and Miyako moment. Just wanted to give each of others a chance to shine. Hope you like what I did.
Next time, we see the start of the gang's adventures!
