Chapter 41: American and Mexican.

Izuku and Cathleen were in a fancy 5 star restaurant. She ordered two steaks: medium well for herself and rare for the vampire. To heroine's surprise, the boy wanted to try expensive wine.

"Are you sure? Alcohol is especially damaging when you are young."

"Ma'am, I semi regularly reattach missing limbs. My body can handle some wine."

"Fair enough, just don't tell anyone, ok?" She smiled "And call me Cathy."

"Ok. Huh? I need to reply to this message."

"Sorry, Cathy. I needed to notify my friend."

"No problem." She answered in Japanese with accent.

"Wait? You speak my language?"

"Of course! I've learnt many languages to partake in operations across the world."

"Cool! I only know Japanese, English and a bit of Italian*."

"Don't sweat it, kid. There is still room for you to grow."

"Thank you." He pulled out his notebook. "Could you tell me about your quirk? I know specifics are classified, but I was wondering if I can learn something. The rumors on the internet say it's reality warping."

"I can tell you that I am weaker than All Might. *Sigh.* My ability is extremely versatile, but it lacks the raw power of that man."

"That doesn't tell me much. May be it's similar to Creation? That's the most versatile quirk I know."

"Is your quirk responsible for those weird time leaps?"

"What's even the point of that question?" Devil was confused.

"I'm curious how she'll answer."

American laughed out loud and slammed her fist on the table.

"I get this question every week. No, sadly time is too abstract for me to affect. Whoever has that quirk must be on the same level as me, if not higher."

Diavolo was laughing maniacally.

"Speaking of time, your World controls it, right?"

"Yes. The World's ability is stop the flow of time and then resume it. I can freely move when time is frozen."

"Amazing. The closest thing I can do is make myself faster, but even then I can't fool advanced cameras like you did." Izuku blushed at the praise. "Do you think The World does those temporal skips behind your back?"

"No, I'm certain it can't do that."

"What about your other friends, King and Queen? Are they responsible?" She frowned and leaned closer.

Green head gulped. Star was close to discovering the truth! He had to remain calm.

"No, they can't do it either. You should know it if you read that article carefully."

"Right." She smiled and sat back. "I believe you."

"That's probably a lie."

"By the way, how's All Might? Is he a good teacher? I haven't seen him in ages."

"He's doing fine. He is as good at teaching as you can expect from someone with no prior experience."

"Thanks, Midoriya. Here." She wrote down a phone number on a piece of paper. "This is my personal number. You can message me if you want, just don't ask for government secrets. I'd be a shame if I had to kill you." They both laughed at the last part.

"Aunt Bate! Izuku! There you are!" Melissa entered their room in the restaurant.

"Hi, Missy! Haven't seen you in a while."

"You two know each other?"

"Of course we do. White House has a lot of interest in I-Island, so I visit it regularly."

"Izuku, you have tell me about your quirk."

"I will, but first I need a selfie and an autograph!"

After making memorabilia, Star left the restaurant while paying for the meal. The prices were outrageous!

Momosquad was walking through the I-Island and admiring the sights. Momo herself was especially interested in all the advanced technology. After a while, Shouji suggested they try something different. They found the only museum on the island. It had all sorts of artifacts. It was supposed to represent cultural exchange in a place where heroes from all over the planet were gathering. Each exhibit was brought by one of the heroes. Yaoyozu's attention locked onto a stone mask. It had a fangs on its lips and a bizarre star shaped hole on its forehead. This hole would perfectly fit the red stone brought by genius's grandmother from Italy. Intuition told the girl that she needed to obtain the mask. The overseer told them that the mask was brought by Mexican pro hero Huītzilōpōchtli, real name Diego Blanco. Whether or not they can take the mask is up to him.

Diego was organizing an arm wrestling contest under the open sky. He was a man with size and build similar to All Might. He was wearing nothing except shorts and sandals, so everyone could admire his muscles.

"Hello, señor." The girl spoke in near perfect Spanish. "My name is Momo Yaoyorozu. There is a stone mask you donated to the local museum that I'm interested in. Can I convince you to sell it to me?"

"Señorita, why would you be interested in a that thing? Are you planning to sacrifice someone for good luck?"

"No, I just happen to have a matching stone in my home."

"I see. Well, I don't really need money because I have plenty of it already. What I do want is a good arm-wrestling match without support gear. Mano a mano, my quirk against yours. Beat me and I'll let you have the mask. I tried calling All Might and Star , but they ignore me."

"Unfortunately, my quirk is all about creating support hear. Would that be satisfactory?"

"No." This response caused her to sigh.

"Alright, may be my lovers can defeat you."

Shouji's multiarm ability was against the rules, so he couldn't overwhelm the giant. Kendou put all of her strength into her big hand, and it was quite close, but she also failed.

"Damn, he is strong! Sorry, Yaomomo."

"It's alright. I have a plan B."

Midoriya arrived 30 minutes later. He agreed to win the contest in exchange for a favor later. The World's arm began to crack from the pressure, much to its displeasure. When Diego almost won, Izuku stopped time to cheese the victory.

"Dios mío! What was that?" Sun god asked in English.

"You were too slow." Green head laughed it off. "By the way, what's you quirk?"

"Solar Battery. I become stronger and tougher the more of skin is exposed to sunlight."

"So he's a reverse vampire?"

"Funny, because I become a lot weaker under sun. That's why I need my suit and cloak have protective layers."

The hero begrudgingly accepted defeat and went to the museum to give away the mask. Before leaving the building, he left an autograph in green head's notebook. The artifact had spikes on its inner side, so wearing it would be painful if not deadly.

"This mask looks almost like the one I used!" DIO was shocked. "I wonder if it can turn people into vampires."

"Let's not test it. I don't want to condemn someone just for curiosity's sake."

"Yaomomo, I have a very bad feeling about this mask. Don't put it on, okay?"

"I wasn't going to. I just wanted to add into my collection."

"*Gulp* You know, I'll keep this mask until I figure out the favor, ok? Bye!" He ran away without waiting for an answer.

Author's note: He doesn't speak Italian, but he can ask Mafioso to translate.

Huītzilōpōchtli is an Aztec god of sunlight and war.
