Remember when I said nothing will stop me from becoming Iron Man? Well, I found one thing that can. Death. I explained in my last chapter that I almost died because of my reckless decision to not accept Tony's warnings, and now I am regretting another poor choice I made when it comes to alleyways.

Currently, I am running through an alleyway. My shirt is torn, my body is tired and bruised up, my arms are scratched up to hell, my legs are about to give out, and sleeping sounds so nice right now.

I run over glass and kick beer bottles out of my way. I tip over a trash can that I pass by as I see a fence coming up in my field of vision. I jump and instantly start to climb it as I nearly avoid the hand that tries to grip my ankle. I look behind me and see that they are starting to climb the fence as well. Without wasting anymore time, I begin to run again. How long are these damn alleyways?!

I turn a corner and see cars zooming by. Finally, the public streets. With my last remaining energy, I push my legs past their limits and sprint towards the streets. Right as I am about to exit the alley, I feel something wrap itself around my waist, and then around my mouth. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" I try to yell out as I am yanked back into the alleyway and onto the ground where three young men have all surrounded me while looking down on me, all of them panting heavily. All have visible bruises and blood from the damage I inflicted on them earlier, and their clothing being torn too.

I feel no energy to stand up as I stare at the trio above me in anxiety, pain, and fear. I feel so helpless as I have no one to turn to. Not my mom, my dad, Tony, or even Sprocket.

"You are one god damn tough lady." One of them says to me in a voice that sounded rather soothing, which is very ironic given the situation. He had a light tan skin, long sleek dark hair, a toned out body, brown hazel eyes, about average height, and from the way his arms have stretched out to grab me I'd say his Quirk is stretchable limbs. He wore expensive running shoes, high-quality jeans, and a black long sleeve shirt.

"You really did give us a fight. I would not have expected much from a lass like you." Another says to me. He was a taller, bigger build as his muscles were clearly showing as was his rough accent and rough, long, red hair and blue eyes. He wore brown boots, a ripped pair of jeans, a white tank top, and a hat that said 'Asskicker' on it. His Quirk is still unknown to me.

"Too bad your time has run out." The leader of the group I would presume; a pale skinned male. The first guy looked to be high middle class, but this one was obviously a rich punk. He was literally wearing a tuxedo with a flower attached to his shirt. He had gloves on his hands too with a golden wrist watch, and fancy shoes. His voice spelled that of one who has been spoiled his entire life. His blonde hair was done, until I messed it up in the scuffle I got into with him. Before it became a mess, he had a high skin fade with a long, thick comb over. His eyes were green and piercing. How he was able to keep up with me running in that get up? His Quirk is levitation. Though he can float, it did not make him any faster. He was rather slow to be honest.

The fancy one spoke up again, "Hirogaru, keep her mouth shut and her limbs trapped." Before I could say anything, Hirogaru, the one with the stretchy limbs, wrapped his arms around over my mouth and around my body to secure my arms and legs together. I struggled in his grip, but to no avail as my exhausted body would not break his grasp.

"Hey, Koi. Help lift this chick up. She may not look like it, but she's kinda heavy." Hirogaru spoke as Koi; the muscle of the group, lifted me up with ease. Hirogaru chuckled a bit, "Then again, I wouldn't be surprised. Her boobs are massive man, double d's." I blush in embarrassment and in fury by this creep inspecting my body.

Koi laughs with him as the rich one just snickers. "She'd make a perfect babe if she knew her place in life."

The rich one speaks as they drag me back deeper into the alleyway. "Though I am sure after this, she will learn." He says as he looks at me whilst I look at him back. I stare back at him with ire as I struggle a bit more as he simply smiles at me with lust in his eyes. "Maybe I'll teach you where you stand in this system."

I am thrown against a wall and slide down to the concrete floor below. I look at the three as the rich one pulls out a knife. "Or I could just gut you like a pig. Honestly, I feel more like killing than anything else right now." He looks at his buddies, "Should I kill her fellas?" He asks them as the other two just laugh a little.

"Your choice, Kuso." Hirogaru speaks.

"Be a waste of a good body, but there are plenty fish in the sea." Koi says insultingly.

Now you are probably wondering, how did I end up in this situation? Well, I'll tell you…

A few hours earlier

"No, this won't work at all!"

"Hatsume."

"Maybe it needs more power in the rotor?"

"Hatsume."

"But would that cause an explosion?! Not that it wouldn't be out of the norm, but I'd like to keep my feet the way they are!"

"Hatsume!"

I turn around and look behind me to see Power Loader with one of his hands on his helmet. "Yeah?" I ask with a smile.

"Your assistance is required. We have a hero costume in need of upgrades." Power Loader tells me as I wipe sweat off of my face and look away from my baby.

"Ooooooooo! Already?!" I get up in his face, "Who's costume?! Where is it?! What is their Quirk?!" I ask rapidly as Power Loader backs up, but I walk forward with him. Power Loader pushes me away with little force as he groans.

"It belongs to a student named Izuku Midoriya, I have it in my storage, and his Quirk is a strength enhancement quirk that allows him have unparalleled power. It was strong enough to defeat the zero point robot in the Entrance Exam in one punch." Power Loader explains to me.

"Midoriya, huh?" I ask with my hand on my chin, "He's a first year here. I thought it came from someone in the upper classes." I shrug, "No matter." I walk past Power Loader and walk into his storage. Seeing as it would be the only costume in here, I find a decimated light green jumpsuit with a destroyed respirator, and…"Bunny ears?" I ask myself as I pick them up. A picture of Midoriya with bunny ears enters my mind as I giggle at the thought of it. "How cute." I walk out with the costume in hand. "So…Power Loader, how am I going to fix this? This looks more like a job for the clothing designers. I am an engineer which means I solve practical problems, not ones like 'what is beauty?' There is an obvious difference between the two."

Under his helmet, I can see Power Loader rolling his eyes. "I know that. I want you to use the costume as a base because the newer suit for Midoriya hasn't been completed yet by the hero costume designers. From what we know, the new one should be able to help withstand explosions and immense pressure." Power Loader paused, "Think of it more as a side project for you. It would be better for you to ask Midoriya himself about what he needs specifically for his getup since you seem to be acquainted with him already."

"Well, if Midoriya is out punching things, then most likely he would need gloves. Very, very durable gloves. If he able to topple that massive hunk of metal in one punch, that would mean these gloves must be able to withstand more than…" I think in my head for a second before grabbing a board with a built in calculator setting, and start writing down math very quickly. As I am writing calculations, I pause and look up at Power Loader. "Midoriya's gloves must be able to withstand a force that is almost equal to that of All Might's Detroit Smash, Power Loader…" I say in astonishment as Power Loader shares the same expression.

We both look at each other for a second before Power Loader speaks, "You are going to have a lot of fun with those gloves."

I smile widely and toss the board to the side, "OH YOU BETCHA!" I yell out as I grab a blank blueprint sheet from the blueprint dispenser and begin to draw down the base look of the gloves. Once I am done drawing the design, the bell rings indicating for lunch time. I groan in frustration since I am not allowed back into the workshop today. Usually, the rule is for me to eat first, then I can use the workshop still. Today, however, is different. Power Loader said he wouldn't be in the workshop because of a meeting, so the workshop is closed for lunch. I almost had a heart attack when I heard those sinful words come out of his mouth.

The keyword is 'almost' because I remembered something. I can always just break inside. Sure he'll get mad, but that is a problem for a later time.

I wasted five precious minutes getting food. Five. Whole. Minutes. Five minutes I could have used to lockpick the lock. Five minutes I could have used to upgrade the motor in my soles. Five minutes I could have used to construct the gloves. Five minutes I could have used to create a new element! Five minutes I could have used to solve world hunger! Five minutes I could have used to solve the anti-life equation! FIVE MINUTES I COULD HAVE USED TO…where am I going with this? Whatever I just wasted five minutes of my life, and I can not get it back! What the heck did I even get anyways?

I look down to see that I got orange chicken, a small cup of chow mein, mixed vegetables, and a fortune cookie. Did I go to the famous U.A cafeteria known for its wide variety of fresh foods and selection of meals, or to Panda Express? In my taste, there is no difference because as long as I can eat it, I like it, and it gives me energy to work without causing complications to my insides, I have no problems.

With that being said, I head to the workshop. Sure it may be locked, but I could always just make my own entrance or pick the lock. Once I am at the room, I put my tray down and look at the door to think of a way in or go with option two.

"Hey Pinky Dinky Doo!"

I yelp and turned around, ready to strike down whoever startled me. "The hell?!" I look around in confusion. "Uh…did I just hear Tony or a ghost?"

"Technically I am both. On your goggles, Pinky." I take off my goggles and look at to see that the nanites have started to glow and Tony's A.I has appeared in one of my lens. "Surprised?" He asks me with a smug grin.

"Not really, but it did catch me off guard jackass." I reply to him as I look at the door. "Can we talk later, I need to break into the workshop?"

"Is it electrical?"

"Yeah."

"Give me a second."

I wait for a few seconds until I hear a click. I put my goggles on my head and pick up my tray before slowly and quietly entering the room. Once inside, I lock the door and place my goggles on a table as a full-scale vision of Tony is projected from the nanites.

"You're welcome by the way." He says sarcastically.

"Yeah, yeah." I pass him off as I grab a device that is shaped like a gun. One of my other babies that shoots a capture rope and entangles whoever the target is. I haven't named him yet, though I am thinking of a simple name like 'Capture Gun.'

Tony looks around the workshop and has an amused look on his face, "This place is just depressing and begging for an upgrade."

I chuckle a little under my breath whilst I get a screwdriver and tighten a few screws, "Anyways, why are you here?"

"Well, it never hurts to plan ahead for things, especially for big events." Tony tells me as I look at him.

"I get what you mean, but what big event is coming?" I have an idea of what is Tony is talking about, but he may be referring to something subject.

"The Sports Festival." Tony tells me as an image of the date appears next to him.

"That's a few weeks away, and I think focusing on how to use the Iron Man suit and my training should be on my priority list first considering those two are happening now." I say as I get back to work on my trap gun.

"You're not looking at the bigger picture here Hatsume." Tony says as he walks over to me, "Yes it is three weeks away, and you know how big this event is, right?"

"Of course. All of Japan watches it; saying the word 'big' is an understatement." I answer, still focused on my baby.

"Everyone will be watching. Heroes will be scouting for those who could take an internship under them, Hatsume. Heroes. Don't you think a spotlight as big as this is something worth planning ahead for?" I stop working and look up to Tony to find a grin on his face again.

"Well when you put it that way…Yeah, it is a big deal to look ahead at it. Since Support Class is eligible to compete in it, that would mean that I can enter my name into the contest." I feel my lips forming into a grin of my own, "And maybe I can show up everyone who said I can't do anything." I say before I brow furrows and I begin to think of something else.

Tony sees my expression changing, "What's wrong?"

"Well…I just realized something." I begin to talk as Tony listens to me, "I'll represent not only myself, but millions of others who suffer the same as me. Who go through the same experiences as me. Every year it has always been a hero course student to win the Sports Festival. This year, it could be different. Maybe some others in the past had a chip on their shoulders like me, but none of them could even crack the top three. If I do this correctly, if I plan this carefully, not only could I be the first to ever win a medal, but maybe, just maybe, I could win the gold medal. I could show everyone around the world that even the weaker Quirks can outdo the stronger ones. I wasn't focused on it then, but now…now I am."

Tony looked at me with an impressed look, "What brought those thoughts into your head? To be a symbol to others like you?"

I look Tony in his eyes, "It's common sense. I look up to you because you represent what I believe in. You gave me hope, and showed me that I don't have to follow the norm. I don't have to be raised and developed as a hero; I can just build myself into one. There are many out there who don't know your reasons because of the age of heroes you were in. Everyone is focused on All Might, and he does preach that anyone can be a hero, but his words do not reach many like me because he has the most powerful Quirk. To me, he can't relate. I would believe that with a Quirk like his, he doesn't understand my pain to have a Quirk that is overlooked and lessens my chances of being a hero to slim to none. His words don't reach everyone because of his Quirk. With me; however, it will be different because they could all relate to me." I finish my monologue to see that Tony's expression went from impressed to pride.

"Kid, you really are something special. The world needs more people like you." Tony praises me as I blush and get into a giggle fit. Tony waits patiently for me to stop as I look up to him again, with some heat on my cheeks still. "So, we know what we are trying to accomplish for you now. To win the Sports Festival. Now, how will you win is the better question?"

"Well, I hope by then I've already mastered the basics of how to use the Mark II. If I do, then no doubt that I will use a Model Armor to assist me in victory." I get goosebumps just thinking about it. To show the world that I am the next Iron Man, or in this case, Woman will be a thrill like none other. Iron Woman…nah, not woman. I'll figure the name out later. "Other than that, what else can we do Tony?"

"We research the hero courses. We figure out who they are, and what their Quirks are." Tony says with a knowing tone, "There are two classes of hero courses, 40 students in total. It may be a lot, but figuring out what their Quirks are and how to counter them is the best possible option we have."

I groan loudly and lay on an empty table, "I hate studying things that have nothing to do with my babies…" I complain as Tony rolls his eyes.

"If you are serious about this, then you will do whatever it takes to win the Sports Festival." Tony tells me as I pop my fingers.

"Yeah, I know, but it doesn't mean I will enjoy it." I sit on the table and look at the clock on the wall. "Lunch is almost over. We'll talk about this later?"

Tony nods at me, "Yeah. Eat your fast food. See ya Pinky." Tony then disappears as the nanites stop glowing.

I rethink back to what I said earlier about the Sports Festival. I know what I said about being an idol to those like me, and it kinda scares me to have to be that idol. Yet…it feels kinda cool. I shake my head. "Easy girl. One step at a time. You're not even Iron Girl yet. That's a crap name too. Damn I need to get a good name soon."

The school day went by as usual. I was caught by Power Loader, and even though he scolded me and threatened to kick me out of me workshop for today, I completely ignored him and went back to doing my work. He was grumpy the whole day, but I know he likes me. I also ran into Midoriya and Mina again, talked for a minute but I couldn't stay long because I have training. So I had to excuse myself but not before Mina gave me her number. I should talk to them soon.

I got to my train stop just in time and hopped on. Fifteen minute ride isn't so bad, especially when I am thinking of my own upgrades for my Model Armor suit. As much as I want to carry on the Iron Man legacy, I'd rather be own hero too, not just a copy and paste. I want my own arsenal of weapons and my own color scheme. I would say A.I too, but I think Tony will be that A.I. Speaking of A.I's, I wonder what happened to J.A.R.V.I.S? Tony never brought him up once before. I'll ask him when we are able to be alone.

I get off the train when it comes to my stop. I discovered that a faster way to get to the dojo is to go through a alleyway that has a fence in it. As I am taking my detour, I get this feeling that I am being watched. It's normal for me to get that feeling because as my mom described it to me, "Your body has matured Mei, more…bigger than other females have it, and with that comes attention, and sometimes it can be unwanted. If someone is being rude, disrespectful, or saying disgusting things about your body, the best you can do is ignore them. If someone attempts to grab you inappropriately, you have every right to defend yourself and to call the police. The best way to avoid such events from happening is to be in a public area, though." The difference with this feeling though is that I am getting an uneasy sense that I should run. I start to speed walk, and I hear footsteps that are getting faster with mine behind me. Son of a…I am being followed.

"Psst. Tony." I whisper quietly, "I'm being followed, can you send some help or something?" I get no response. Either he heard me and is doing what I asked of him, or he did not and I am on my own. I climb over a fence that divides the property of the blocks, and that is when my worst fears are confirmed. I hear someone climbing it too. Without hesitation, I sprint towards a corner only to be met by a massive person blocking the exit. I stop in my tracks and back up, my heart pounding slightly hard in my chest.

"Don't run girl, we just wanna talk." I turn around to see two other males. One dressed in quality fashion, and the other in a fancy suit. These three are together I presume, and all of them look to be around my age.

"Yeah, well. I don't." I say to them, "Let me pass through." I say in a demanding voice.

"My my, someone is being rude." Kuso says as he looks to Hirogaru , "You think her parents taught her manners?"

Hirogaru chuckles slightly, "Most likely not. The girl didn't even ask why we wanna talk."

I have no intentions of staying for long, but I know fighting will not be a wise idea. I decide to play their game, and if the opening shows itself, I'll make a break for it. "Fine, I apologize. What do you want?" I ask Kuso, my voice unwavering.

Kuso acts surprised that I apologized to him, "Oh, so they did!" He says as he takes a step towards me as I take one back, "We just wanna know if you could do us a favor. You see, me and my boys have been feeling quite tensed lately, and there hasn't been much room to relieve ourselves. And you look like our type of girl, so we were going to ask if you could help us with that." All of three of them chuckle at me, and close in on me.

I put my arms over my chest in an attempt to hide my lady parts, and in rage. These people are sick. I want to scream to let others know where I am, but I know the big guy will shut me up before I get a chance to. Even then the odds of being heard are not great because the city has noise pollution which in turn makes it almost impossible to hear someone in an alley. Why the hell did I decide to use an alleyway?! Most crimes happen in the shadows, and now I'm probably going to become a victim of one!

I dart my eyeballs around to see if there is any openings, and I spot a circular lid from a trash can that is on the floor and a few other items such as beer bottles, and sharp glass shards. If I play my cards right, I could get away. If I don't...no. I will not become a victim to these petty criminals. I have no choice. I have to fight.

I close my eyes and chuckle a little, catching them all off guard. "I see what you are saying." I say in a calm demeanor, "And you are right." I say in a seductive voice, "I can provide that service~" I wanna strangle myself for even going there, but I have to get their guard down. The three of them look at each and all grin in a perverted manner.

"Well didn't we get our work cut out for us?" Hirogaru says as Koi speaks for the first time.

"Yeah, we did. Didn't think this one would be a-"

Perfect. Their guards fully dropped. I immediately dash towards the trash can lid, pick it up, and throw it at the head of Koi. The big man stumbles back a bit as Hirogaru and Kuso all look surprised for a second before regaining their composure.

"You little shit!" Kuso says as he dashes at me with his right arm reeled back before throwing it forward at me. I wait for him to get closer as I grab his arm and use his momentum to slam him face first into the wall behind me. He falls over in pain on lands on shatter glass, making him yell out more from the glass that as sunken into his skin.

Hirogaru manages to get me in a full nelson grapple when I was not looking, but I am prepared. I use the back of my head to hit him on the bridge of the nose a few times before he lets me go. I quickly spin around and give him a roundhouse kick, knocking him down. Before I could balance myself, Koi has charged at me and pushed me into the wall behind me. My back hits the wall, and fall onto the glass next to Kuso. I am quickly flipped over by Kuso as he puts a hand over my mouth.

"Oh, this is going to hurt a lot for you!" He tells me aggressively as I struggle underneath him, his other hand now groping my breast. Thinking quickly, and aggressively, I remember he is a guy and my foot is very near a particular part of the body that any male would rather not have pain in. I put all of my power into my foot and shoot it up, kicking him where it hurts the most. Kuso pauses before he rolls off, grabbing onto his phallus while howling in agony. I quickly scamper away, ignoring the pain from the glass that is cutting into me and through my clothing.

Koi approaches me and is about to reach for me, but I grab a long, sharp piece of glass and stab it into his wrist, some blood spurting out of it. Koi reels his hand back and grabs the glass shard before pulling it out. Capitalizing on this opening, I get on my feet and with a beer bottle in my hand, I smash it against his skull, cutting him open and making him retreat.

I duck as I feel a fist about to hit me from behind. Hirogaru stumbles a bit forward as he loses some moment. Using the given opportunity, I sweep him off his feet from behind and use my elbow to hit him in the chest as he a slams into the ground. Koi is the only up now, but he is blocking my exit. Without wasting another second, I dash back where I came from to escape.

Present Time

And that is how I got here. Bruised, tired, my back against a wall with no way out this time. A knife in my face and three dangerous people looking to kill me.

I am focused on the knife in front of me, though I do not feel at all threatened by it. However…I know damn well Tony is watching, but why the hell isn't he helping me?! I want to scream at him for not helping me, but I don't want to expose him either! I am desperately trying to figure a way out, but I can't find one! I am not going to die when everything started to look up for me!

"Unless…"

I look at up at Kuso as he speaks. He keeps his knife out, but he pulls it back slightly. "Unless you perform what we originally wanted, and I'll let you live." I keep my stare locked onto him.

An ultimatum with no victory for me? Either I give up my body to these bastards, or I die? I begin to weigh my options for a bit before I come to a conclusion.

"Kiss my ass." I say with a small chuckle. I hope Tony throws me a hail mary because I just sealed my fate. Kuso then rushes at me and lifts me onto my feet by my shirt. I keep my smirk on whilst chuckling still. "Is that all you three really got? Because I literally beat the crap out of the three of you earlier, as far as I am concerned, I'm not afraid of you. I'd rather keep fighting than become a toy to your sadistic pleasures." I tell Kuso as he slams me against the wall again, the knife now at my throat. Kuso's face went from cocky and arrogant to one of frustration and anger.

"Oh, I am so going to enjoy making you beg for mercy!" He says as he brings the knife to abdominal area, "Any last words?"

I have a few, "You need a tic-tac cause damn your breath is much more deadlier than that knife."

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HER!"

The three criminals and myself all snap our heads to the voice as some redhead, who looks like rock, smashed his fist into Koi's face, and the redhead proceeds to jump on him and swings a massive fist at Koi's face again, essentially knocking him out. Hirogaru was about to react, but he was frozen stiff as a girl with purple hair stabbed earphone jacks into his neck, then a metal pipe started to levitate and whacked itself against the back of Hirogaru's head, knocking him out too as he fell over flat on his face. Realizing the moment, I quickly snatch the knife from Kuso's hand and toss it aside.

Kuso was about to strike me, but his hand was caught by Midoriya as he appeared from nowhere. "Leave her alone!" Midoriya yelled out as he struck Kuso in the face with his other hand. Kuso stumbled back, but was then flipped over as Mina appeared too with Midoriya.

Mina got down and pinned Kuso's arms on his back as she looked up. "Kirishima!" The redhead reacted as he ran over and held down Kuso as Mina got up.

"You aren't going anywhere!" Kirishima said as the other girl and the floating lead pipe also surrounded the rich boy. Kuso struggled a bit under Kirishima's grasp, but Kirishima applied more pressure before Kuso gave up and stopped moving.

"Hatsume!" Both Midoriya and Mina say to me as Mina grabs my hand, "Are you okay?!"

"Did they do anything to you?!" Midoriya asks with a huge face of concern on his face.

I look between them both for a second before instinctively grabbing them both and pulling them into a hug, "Thank you guys so much!" I say in the happiest tone I have had all day. I may have taunted them, and I was not afraid of them, but that did not mean I wasn't afraid of death. I hear them both sign in relief as they hug me back, Midoriya's hug feeling more forced then calm like Mina's. I pull back to see Mina grinning wildly in joy while Midoriya's face is heated up, but has a goofy smile plastered on his lips.

"You're tougher than I thought girl." Mina praises me slightly as she pats me on the shoulder.

"I'm glad you're safe though, it could have been much worse…" Midoriya says with a shiver, but the boy smiles still, "But it didn't, and that's all that matters."

I keep my smile on before it dwindles somewhat as I look at the other three people here, "Who are you guys?"

"Eijiro Kirishima." The redhead responds with extremely sharp teeth, reapplying pressure to Kuso.

"Kyoka Jiro." The one with purple hair and the earphone jacks replies with a smile of her own.

The lead pipe begins to swing back and forth wildly, "Toru Hagakure!" A female voice tells me as the pipe stops moving. "I am invisible, so you can't see me!" Hagakure informs to me as I chuckle slightly.

I look at them before giving my brightest smile again, "Thank you. I wasn't sure I was going to…" My smile fades as Midoriya puts on a firm, yet calm smile.

"It's okay Hatsume; you're safe." Midoriya reassures me.

Mina does the same with a node, "Yeah Hatsume, you're fine. You don't need to worry about this anymore."

They're right. I am safe, the three punks are defeated because of my friends who arrived in time. A thought then appears in my head, "How…how did you find me?" I ask them in confusion.

Midoriya and Mina both pull out their phones, "You sent us a distress call, err...message, remember?" Midoriya questions me.

"Yeah, I was hanging with Jiro, Hagakure, and Kirishima when I got your message. Just so happened that Midoriya was in the area as well. Then we came to your rescue." Mina briefs me.

Tony. He pulled through, but why put them in danger, why not call the police? I'll ask him later. I smile more and rub the back of my head, "Yeah I remember now. Guess I kinda forgot since I was fighting for my life, literally." I look around the area before taking a deep breath, "Has anyone called the cops yet?"

"Already did." Jiro replied as we heard sirens in the distance. "I'll show them where we are." Jiro says as she dashes towards the exit.

The police apprehended the three and questioned us all. I told them what had happened, and about the fight that took place. None of them got in trouble for using their Quirks because they saved me from being murdered, and the detective was nice enough to leave those details out. Paramedics also arrived and dealt with my injuries. I suffered nothing serious, but I will have a few cuts and bruises for awhile.

I am standing near an ambulance while Midoriya and the others are with the police officers. In the time before the officers showed up, Hagakure also got dressed to avoid being arrested for public nudity in her words. I wouldn't understand how she would be considering no one can see her, but whatever works for her.

"MEI!"

I turn to my left to be greeted by the hugs of my loving parents.

"Oh thank goodness you're okay!" My mother says as she and my father both squeeze me tightly.

"Mom, dad, can't breath." I struggle to get out as both of them let go quickly as I inhale much needed oxygen.

"What were you doing in an alleyway, Mei?!" My father asked, clearly upset.

I stammered a bit, "I…uh…" I didn't answer as my father continues his scolding.

"You know that is where most crimes happens! In the shadows where the public can't see them! You've been taught this at school, and we have told you repeatedly not to enter alleyways under no circumstances! You know this Mei!" I wince at my dad's words as I look down, "And…" My dad shut his eyes and clenched his fist tightly before releasing his grip and letting out a huge sign, "And we almost lost our little girl…" My dad's voice cracked when he said those words.

I knew better, I always knew better yet I was stupid enough to ignore the warnings. Gosh I never felt this guilty before in my life. I hug my dad tightly as he hugs me back, "I'm sorry…That was stupid of me…"

"Mei, sweetie," My mom begins to speak whilst I look at her, "Don't do that again." My mother simply says as well all have a more gentle three way hug.

"Yes Mommy." I reply softly. Yesterday I didn't listen to Tony. Today, I didn't listen to my parents. I am a horrible when it comes to listening…

All of us let go as I turn to where Midoriya and the others are, "Those people saved me." I point to them as they all wave to us. My parents look at them for a second before making their way to them.

"You all saved our daughter?" My father asks as Mina and Midoriya nod their heads.

"Yeah, we all did." Midoriya answers.

"Mmhmm. We all got a message from Hatsume that she needed our help, heck she even sent us coordinates where she us at. We all came as fast as we could, and just in time too." Mina adds in.

"You have our utmost gratitude and thanks." My mother expresses to them, "You're our heroes for today." All of them smile widely while Midoriya gushes and falters again. Gosh he really can't take compliments easily can he? He is so cute.

"Wait a minute…" My dad suddenly mumbles. He looks between Mina and Midoriya for a few seconds, "We know you two."

Both of them perk up with confused looks, "We do?" Both of them ask simultaneously.

"Yeah," My dad chuckles, "Mei has mentioned you two before. I recognize you both from the details she described to us."

Once more Midoriya blushes in embarrassment whilst looking down and rubbing the back of his head, but Mina takes the acknowledgement in stride and keeps her composure. "Well then, I guess we might have to introduce ourselves." Mina says as Midoriya nods slightly.

"Mina Ashido, but I prefer being called Mina."

"Izuku Midoriya."

My parents look behind them to the others as they all reply in turn.

"Jiro."

"Kirishima."

"Hagakure."

They all shake hands with my parents. My mother speaks next, "Well, it is a pleasure to meet all of you and thank you again for saving our daughters life." My mother looks at me before looking back at them, "One day we'll repay all of you, we must."

Kirishima waves his hands in front of him in a polite manner, "No, it's okay. We're training to be heroes, all of us."

My parents look surprised. "All of you are in the hero course?"

"Same class." Jiro says.

"Class 1-A!" Hagakure responds and as she wraps her arms Mina and Midoriya's shoulders.

"But still, though," My mother continued, "We insist on it. It is the least we can do. Besides, you might find yourself in someone's company who will refuse to let you leave without compensation. Some of us are just like, take this as a learning curb." My mother can be tricky and manipulative in her own way.

The students of Class 1-A look at each other and shrug as if they all mentally agree with one another. Midoriya is the one to speak up, "We accept then."

"Great! I'll make a note of that mentally, and I will think of repayment when I get home! Then I'll just have Mei gather the five of you when I know what to give you all!" My mother is now getting excited as her hyperactive nature is showing. I look away in embarrassment as the class looks at me and then back to her. "Buuuuuut now I guess is a good time to leave." My mother announces as my dad and I look to her. "Hope to see you all again!" My mother says as the three of us begin to leave.

"Bye guys!" I wave to them as they wave back to us and say their farewells.

Once I have returned home, our day went by as normal, though I still got in trouble for entering the alleyways. My worst fears were realized when my parents said that I am not allowed to use any of my tools for a week unless it has to do with Sprocket or anything in the house. As if today wasn't already bad enough, now I can't build or upgrade any of my babies! After I had finished eating, I excused myself to my room where I locked the doors, turned on a new baby I installed which cancels out any noise coming from my room and yelled out at the top of my lungs, "TONY!"

The computer boots up and Tony appears on the screen, "WHAT?!" He replies with as much amplification as I did.

"Why contact Mina and Midoriya instead of the police?! Thank you by the way, but still?!" I still need that question answered, and it never left my mind when I thought of it.

"Because you need to build relationship with others. You may have Mina and Midoriya's numbers sure, but you never talk to them so they are not really your friends. In that dire moment, I decided to contact them instead of the police, besides, those kids are no pushovers either. They can take care of themselves and I knew they would defeat those perverted delinquents." Tony explained himself. "I didn't even plan for the other three to show up, so that's an added bonus."

I'm not satisfied with the answer, but the events already happened and I can't change the outcome. Though I am glad they saved me, I wouldn't have called them to put them in harm's way either.

Tony snapping his fingers and speaks again, "Right! I have something important to tell you!" Tony tells me.

I sit down on my bed, "Yeah?"

"I was thinking back to what you said about having your own Model Armor, and although I think you are not ready for one, it wouldn't be bad to have one ready already." Tony reveals to me.

I am able to withhold a lot of things, but per usual, I am now up in his face with a giant smile on my face. God he really knows how to make a girl happy doesn't he? "WHEN CAN I HAVE IT?!" I simply ask.

"Before the festival that is for sure, but for now we have to work on building it. I was planning on making it a surprise, but then I figured not to. You like designing your own creations because then you know how to utilize it to its fullest potential and I know you enjoy adding your own twist to it. With that in mind, I decided that I would build your suit, but you have to tell me what you want to have installed. Think carefully, though, because you are limited to six abilities for the time being." Tony tells me as the computer takes me to a link that shows all of the Iron Man armors. "Now, take a pick. Choose your base model design, and we'll go from there."

I scroll through the list. I know all of these models by heart, and I can only choose one to base my armor off of? Which one do I choose? Model 43? Model 42? Model 11? The Ultimate Armor? Which one? I take a few minutes to look through my options before finally settling on one, my most favorite armor.

"This one." I click on the model armor as Tony chuckles a little.

"Model 37. The original Bleeding Edge. This one was one of my favorites of all time." Tony looks at me, "This is the one you want to base your design on?"

"Yeah." I nod as I run back to my bed and pull out a notebook, "And I'm going to get cracking on what I want for it and the color pattern for it."

Tony clapped his hands as he showed me a live feed of his lab, "Alright, Pinky." The live feed showed mechanical arms reacting on their own will as they start to gather assorted metals from various areas and begun to forge them into a new suit, "Time to assemble your armor. Today we design, tomorrow we construct, and then later, we test it."
