Eri finally got confident that she will rewind the person next to her out of existence, so she was allowed outside UA territory under adult supervision. Megumi Hebi and Kizuki Chitose were happy to oblige. First they took the little girl to Uwabami's studio where she films most of her commercials. Chitose and Midoriya (adopted last name) watched as Hebi posed for a sunglasses advertisement.
"Why is she standing like this?" Eri asked.
"She is posing for a commercial." Kizuki replied
"Why?"
"So she can buy all sorts of good things, like candied apples."
"Ooo." The girl stared in awe. "Why don't you do it then?"
"I prefer journalism, my dear. It's when I ask people questions and get paid for it."
"Like Nejire and Izuku?"
"Err, yeah, something like that."
The blue skinned woman took the girl to buy her some food.
"You know, Eri, your meta ability… I mean, your quirk is great. I bet you will help many people with it."
"Thank you." She made a weak smile. "I was told it is a curse before, but Izuku said it is a gift that can be used for good."
"No meta ability is a curse, Eri. Anything can be used for the betterment of the world."
The trio was going through Uwabami's patrol routes as she signed autographs and made selfies with her fans. For some shots she brought her two accomplices into the camera frames.
"Uwabami! Is that your kid and girlfriend?" Someone asked.
"In a way, yes." She said while holding Eri in her hands and being hugged by Kizuki.
"Say cheese."
"Cheese!"
Tooru and Kyouka asked Nemuri for some advice on how to stand out more. Of course, her answer was to dress up more skimpily.
"This is stupid." Jirou looked at a sketch where she wore a skintight bodysuit as a hero uniform. "I don't even have boobs or an ass to show off."
"No, you do." Hagakure slapped her butt. "*Sigh* I wish my quirk wasn't invincibility. I have to wear more to look alluring. That's kind of ridiculous."
"Girls, you see things the wrong way." Kayama told them. "Everyone is beautiful in their own way; you just have to understand what makes you stand out from the rest. I'm not just talking about your bodies, but how they combine with your personalities and abilities. Kyouka, you are quite confident in yourself when playing music. Try understanding why and how to implement that confidence in your daily life. Tooru, you are a probably the most feminine girl I know. Embrace it in an obvious manner and everybody will surely notice you."
"Maybe I should imagine myself at a concert if I feel insecure?" Earphone Jack though to herself.
"I should carry something fluffy with me, like a kitty." Invisible girl concluded.
Fuyumi and Pony were waiting at the airport for Kenji Hikiishi to return from her Thailand trip. At last, the woman came out at got into the car. She now looked a lot more feminine that before.
"Wow, I almost didn't recognize you." Todoroki said.
"You look very different." Tsunotori compared with an old photo from her phone.
"Thanks! Those doctors sure do wonders."
"Do you guys mind meeting my class at school? They would be very interested in talking to a foreigner and a former villain."
"I'll show them my favorite manga!"
"I'll tell them that it is important to accept yourself for who you are. Would that be good?"
"Sounds good to me."
Hisashi and Masaru were sitting at a bar reminiscing about their past.
"You always were a big softie." Midoriya took a sip from his glass. "No wonder Mitsuki bullied you into marriage."
"And you are any different? I heard you screaming at my wife when Inko and I were knitting."
"I don't ever raise my voice first. You can see it with Izuku. I never had to yell at him, unlike you loud son and wife."
"I admit, we should have raised Katsuki better, but it's not like we actively fueled his ego. It was a lucky coincidence that his quirk turned out to be so flashy and caused so many people to appease him. *Sigh* I hope this mistake won't be repeated again. Did you hear about that Mitsuki wants a baby with Izuku? Now Inko says she wants a baby with me." Masaru laughed nervously.
"That' going to be one convoluted family tree, especially when you throw in Cathy."
"We'll figure it out."
Nana Shimura and Rumi Usagiyama were practice fighting each other while Ippan Josei was watching them from a safe distance. Former OFA wielder and Number Five moved all across the area with their mobility boosting quirks. Nana clearly had the upper hand due to her ability to fly around freely, but Miruko wasn't going down without a fight. Shimura had to end this by punching the rabbit's head into the ground with enough force to make a tiny crater. After the fight was over, she picked up her opponent to get her some rest.
"That was painful to even look at!" The ordinary woman claimed. "Do heroes really have to practice like this all the time?"
"No, Rumi is just very intense. Truth be told, I want nothing more than to stop fighting, but someone has to keep her satisfied."
"Why would she want to fight so badly? It doesn't line up with what kind of animal she is." Ippan said as she examined Rumi's ears.
"She once told me that people used to look down on her, see her as nothing more than a harmless little rabbit. This attitude pissed her off to the point where she trained and fought just to not be seen as small."
"Oh, dear. I'm kind of in the opposite boat. People used to see as a big scary fox or sometimes even a shark, when in reality I am not a conflict person at all. I guess we both would have been happier if we were in each other's bodies."
"I too wish something in my past was different." Nana sighed and looked away for a moment. "But we can only hope that things get better in the future."
Melissa was the next person to get a portrait from Izuku. She decided to compensate for her lack of a quirk with her gadgets. The blonde put on anti-gravity boots, power gauntlets and a utility belt with shrinking tech.
"How is your dad Melissa?"
"Good as always. *Giggle* He asked when we are going to marry."
"What did you tell him?"
"That it's still undecided. We don't have to rush this, right?"
"Right."
"Hey, what is your favorite painting made in this fashion?"
"Definitely Setsuna. Just how stupid it looked while being 100% put a smile on my face."
"Am I at least top 2?" Shields asked playfully.
"Umm… we'll see."
Yuyu was taking Himiko and Beros to UA's shooting range where Nejire spent a lot of time training her quirk's precision. The ex Humarise assassin possessed extreme levels of skill, to the point where she could hit targets with her eyes closed. The vampire, while good with her knife throwing skills, couldn't keep up at all.
"Wow, you guys are killing it." Haya applauded their marksmanship. "I think only Kaina was doing better."
The archer stayed silent, causing Himiko to try and cheer her up.
"Hey, you have a good eye, right? How about you try to discern which one of us is an impostor?"
Beroes nodded, causing the other two girls to leave. After a few minutes. Two Yuyus have returned. The archer carefully looked at each of them from every angle, including their eyes. She then pointed at the on her left.
"Yay!" Disguised girl jumped from excitement. "How did you know?"
"You didn't flinch when I looked you dead in the eyes."
"Sorry." Haya said sheepishly. "Your gaze was really intense."
Anan Kurose and Reiko Yanagi, Kiruka Hasaki were at a beauty salon getting their hair done. The latter took a lot more time due to her quirk, so in the end other two were waiting for her specifically.
"Hey, guys. Did anyone ever call your quirks villainous?" Slice got curious.
"Yes." Thirteen confirmed. "That's why I had to dedicate a lot of time to control my Black Hole."
"No." Emily shook her head. "Can't say it was the case for me."
"Well, it was a case with my hair! I was told shit just I it can things!" Kiruka almost screamed.
"Ma'am, please calm down." Her barber said.
"Yeah, sorry. Anyway, I'm glad you people don't judge for my quirk."
"We will still judge you for your deeds though."
"Fair enough."
Rei Todoroki and Kuria Hagakure were showing each other their family photographs.
"This is Natsuo getting his tongue stuck to a pole outdoors. Enji had to warm it up."
"Here Tooru covered herself in flour to be visible."
"This one is recent. Shouto is trying to paint the red part of his hair green."
"I and my little girl had to hold Mina in a weird pose for hours. We made a photo while clothed after it was done."
Both women mostly got over the bad things that happened to them in the past and were ready to move on. They conveniently skipped over all the bad parts to not open up old wounds.
