"So you're not going to I-Island?" Ochaco asked as she and Izuku had some tea.
"Unfortunately not this year." Izuku sighed. "Going by plane is too dangerous, and a boat is too slow. I have too much work to do here with settling the new business and negotiations with other countries, on top of my job as a parent. So we're going to send Chole to talk with them."
"I guess that makes sense," Ochaco said, feeling a bit sad that Izuku wouldn't be joining them. "Well, I'm free for a while, so I thought I'd hang out and help if that's ok with you."
"Of course! You're always welcome here Ochaco." Izuku said with a smile. "Hey, Sansan actualy made something really cool in a cave she found. It's kinda like a big art piece, we just opened it up, wanna see it?"
"I'd love to," Ochaco responded.

"Come on! Come on!" Ken chanted, as he and Netsu faced off against Izuku and Ochaco at Super Smash Bros.
Izuku and Ochaco were playing as Link and Kirby, against Ken's Shulk and Netsu's Mario.
Kirby smashed apart the smash ball, and Ochaco looked at Izuku, then nodded. And Izuku nodded in return.
Shulk came rushing at Link while Mario threw fireballs at them.
Link dashed through Shulk as he threw out a dash attack, and then smash attacked Shulk towards Kirby, who grabbed him.
Then Link jumped over the fireball, rushed towards Mario, grabbed him, and threw him toward Kirby.
Kirby released Shulk, and in that next moment, they activated their final smash, hitting both Shulk and Mario.
GAME!
"Aww man!" Ken groaned.
"Wow, that was some awesome teamwork!" Netsu praised, not letting his loss get him down.
"Heck yeah!" Ochaco celebrated as she and Izuku high-fived in celebration.

"And done!" Shiruku said as she, Ochaco, and Izuku finished their art project.
A skyscraper made of popsicle sticks.
"It looks great! Well worth eating all those popsicles." Ochaco praised.
I just hope we didn't have too much sugar. Izuku thought as he rubbed his stomach. He could feel his blood sugar rising.
"Can we put it in the kitchen so everyone can see it!?" Shiruku asked with pleading eyes.
"Of course! You worked so hard on it, after all, right Izuku?" Ochaco asked him.
"Of course! It'll be the centerpiece." Izuku said with a smile.
"Thanks, Mom! Dad!" Shiruku said with a big smile on her face, as she ran out of the room to go put up her tower.
Izuku sighed as his face turned a bit red. "She's still on that."
"You think it's maybe because…she wants a mom?" Ochaco was also blushing, but she put aside her embarrassment for a moment, genuinely concerned about the situation.
"I think it's more just because she likes romance," Izuku reassured her, before frowning as he gave that some more thought. "Although…that might not be the case for all of the. But I don't really have time to be looking around for dates. And even if I don't think I have the nerve to try."
"Really? You can face down villains and break the law, but dates are what scares you?" Ochaco giggled.
"When it comes to combat and strategies, they just come easy to me," Izuku admitted sheepishly. "Dealing with girls. To be honest, aside from mom and the kids, you were the first girl I ever really talked to."
"Well, all those other girls were dumb, because you're a great guy." Ochaco felt a bit of pride in that statement for whatever reason, as well as embarrassment.
"Thanks…I try my best." Izuku said with a blush.

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Ochaco asked.
Izuku and Ochaco were outside, standing opposed to each other in the woods.
And by Izuku's side, was Shina.
"I'm pretty sure I already know the answer. But I want to see how I would be quirk would match up against the best of the best." Izuku said with a smile. "I only have two requests. Don't hold back. And don't try to wait for Shina's effect to wear off. I want this to be a battle of quirks."
"Alright then." Ochaco activated full cowling 45%. "Let's go! Izuku!"
"Shina. If you'd please." Izuku asked kindly as he took off this cloak.
"Got it Mr. Midoriya!" Shina quickly turned her hand into a scythe and nicked his hand a few times.
Izuku felt the presence of his normally nonexistent quirk and smiled. "Alright. Ochaco!"
BOOM!
Immediately, Izuku burst at Ochaco, as he repelled himself off the air behind him, and landed a solid kick on Ochaco's face, sending her flying through a tree.
He's faster than I thought! Ochaco thought as she flipped herself, and landed sideways on a tree.
But when she looked up where Izuku should have been, he was gone.
SLAM!
Suddenly Izuku dove down from above and slammed Ochaco into the ground with both feet.
BOOM!
Before Ochaco could counterattack, Izuku max repelled himself off Ochaco, causing him to explode up, and Ochaco to get smacked deeper into the ground, creating a decent-sized crater.
And he hits harder too. Ochaco jumped up and got on her feet. Still. I think I'm faster and stronger. But Izuku's definitely smarter than me. That's gonna be trouble.
WOOSH!
Ochaco heard the sound of something moving behind her, and she immediately turned around and put up her arms to guard, just in time as Izuku landed a powerful kick.
A moment later Izuku repelled away, blasting himself away from Ochaco and knocking her back a few feet.
Before Izuku could get too far, Ochaco rushed after him and started gaining on him quickly.
As Ochaco was getting close, Izuku repelled himself away from Ochaco, not only pushing Ochaco back but pushing him forward even faster.
I can't get close. Ochaco fought against Repel with all her might, but she wasn't getting any closer to Izuku. Wait.
Ochaco then ran to the left, quickly getting out of Repels range of effect, before circling around to where Izuku was, and getting in front of him.
Izuku's eyes went wide, but he quickly responded by shooting upward, into the air. Soaring high above the trees.
But that wouldn't be the case for long, as Ochaco started picking up trees and throwing them at Izuku at rapid-fire speed.
Izuku repelled all the trees that had been coming towards him, as other trees flew upwards around him.
Unfortunately for him, Ochaco was hiding in one of those trees she threw, and once she snuck up above him, she rocketed down at him.
SLAM!
Ochaco kicked Izuku in the back, and slammed him down into the ground, causing an explosion of dirt to rise up.
"Owwww." Izuku groaned once the dirt cloud dispersed. As he lay face down on the ground in a small crater.
"You ok Izuku!?" Ochaco asked concerned she may have hit him too hard. She did lower her power when she actualy hit him down to 20% but that still might have been too much.
"Yeah. I don't think I should be moving but otherwise, I think I'll be fine." Izuku groaned. "Could you help me get to the infirmary?"

"Hello, my loyal minions! Welcome back, and today we have a special guest! My good freind, and potnetial mother, Ochaco Uraraka!" Kiba introduced.
"Oh, will you cut that out?" Ochaco pouted.
"Are you really that against going out with Caretaker?" Kiba asked with a saddened look.
"Huh? W-Well I mean I'm not… against it per se. But you know I doubt he sees me that way, and we're both so busy can we change topic!" Ochaco shouted.
"Sure, I already got all of that on camera," Kiba said mischievously. "Have to thank Yonda for that idea."
"Ugh! That girl is going to be the end of me!" Ochaco shouted.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Mmmmmm. Your cooking's gotten even better Fuku!" Ochaco said with a glowing smile, as she ate some of Fuku's cake along with Kiba, Kei, Eri, Kioku, and Fuku herself. "Sato's gonna have some competition in the future."
"Eh!? I wouldn't go that far! Sato sensei's cakes are still way better than mine." Fuku said.
"Ture, but can Sato use a bow and arrow, draw, and write stories?" Kiba asked. "Not to mention he's nowhere near as cute as you."
"Is it head pat time?!" Kei smiled.
"Hey, Kioku how's your studying with Izuku doing?" Fuku asked, changing the subject as quickly as possible.
"It's…hard." Kioku sighed. "And boring. There's so much to understand and it's all so boring! But I still want to help daddy so I have to keep going! No matter what!"
Ochaco giggled and rubbed Kioku's head. "What a good girl you are. Izuku's lucky to have a daughter like you. Although I can say the same for all of you."
"Thanks, mom," Kioku said with a smile.
Ochaco sighed. "If you guys really wanna call me mom then fine. Just don't do it while Izuku's here. It'll make it weird."
A step is a step. Kiba thought.

Ochaco decided to spend the night over at Izuku's place for once. It's not like there was a lack of rooms, and she didn't really have any reason not to.
That, and there was something she really wanted to see that she normally wouldn't be able to see in the city.
As Ochaco was making her way to her destination, she heard something.
SNIFF SNIFF.
It was sniffling. The kind that sounded like someone was crying.
She stopped and looked at the door, from which she heard the crying from. It was Nise's room.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
"Hey Nise, everything good in there?" Ochaco asked. Making sure she was loud enough that Nise could hear her but quiet enough to not wake everyone up.
"Ms. Uraraka?" Nise asked, sounding a bit shaken. "I-I"m ok. I just had a bad dream."
"Bad dream huh. I guess you don't feel like going back to sleep?" Ochaco asked. Knowing how this worked from her own experience.
"...Not really," Nise said. "I was gonna go watch some Anime until I forgot about it."
"You could do that. Or we can try something else." Ochaco suggested. "I know a place where we can see something pretty cool."
"Where?" Nise asked curiously.
Ochaco smiled. "Put on a jacket, and I'll show you."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ochaco and Nise were standing on the roof, both of them covered up in very warm clothes, and Nise snuggled up in Ochaco's arms.
"Alright, time to go." Ochaco then touched Nise, and then herself, but jumping up, and going high, high up in the air.
They went higher and higher and higher until they burst through the clouds.
Ochaco flicked the air to keep them from going higher and took in the sight around them.
Bellow was a beautiful sea of clouds, and above was the wondrous night sky, with the cresent moon shining brightly among the thousands of stars.
"Wowwwwww." Nise gasped as she looked at the absolute beauty all around her.
"Cool huh. I haven't done this since I was little." Ochaco said. This was the first thing she did when she found out about her quirk. And unfortunately, it was almost her last, which is why she hadn't done it since. "But whenever I had a nightmare, I'd go out and look at the stars."
"They're wonderful," Nise said.
"Hey, you wanna hear something cool?" Ochaco asked. "In greek myth, it's said that the Gods would immortalize people in the stars. Turning them into constellations. Isn't that awesome? I've always dreamed of having my own constellation as a kid. I hoped one day people would look up at the sky and say, look! There's Uravity!"
"...You think Kiba's gonna have a constellation?" Nise asked.
Ochaco chuckled. "Oh yeah. Definitely."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After spending a bit more time in the air, the two came down and Ochaco took Nise back to bed and tucked her in.
"Ms. Ochaco. I still don't really want to fall asleep yet." Nise admitted, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"That's okay. I understand." Ochaco said with an understanding smile, as she sat by Nise's bed. "How about a tell you a story?"
"Ok," Nise said.
Please review and have a nice day.
