Chapter 4
Saving Eri
It was one month until the U.A. Entrance Exam and Izuku Midoriya was at Dagobah beach, but not to clean it up. He had actually finished cleaning it two weeks ago, a full six weeks ahead of schedule, and was now using his time to train his body even more. He was using the special support item All Might had given him, the vibranium shield of Captain America, from the special crate they had found at this (former) landfill.
Along with him were Momo Yaoyorozu, Himiko Toga, Mina Ashido, Tsuyu Asui, Inko Midoriya and Mitsuki Bakugo.
There was also the pale-skinned man named 'Edwin Jarvis', dressed in a sweater and a pair of pants who was carefully watching over the young heroes-to-be.
"Edwin-san! Come over here!" Mitsuki shouted.
The pale-skinned man walked over to the two women. A shapely blond-haired woman with red eyes, wearing a black bikini underneath a white robe, and a slightly chubby green-haired woman wearing a pink shirt, gray skirt, and a large sun hat. The pair were sitting under a large umbrella on a blanket with a picnic basket.
"Yes?" Edwin replied to the blond woman.
"Want something to drink?" Mitsuki asked.
"I do not need to drink, or eat, or sleep." he said as he approached the pair.
"Wow. That must be frustrating." she said.
"If I were human." he replied.
"I still can't believe my Izuku cleaned up all of this by himself." Inko said as she looked at the beach.
"I can't believe he did it in less than nine months." Mitsuki said. 'And it's probably a good think Katsuki didn't want to come on this outing.'
"The super soldier serum possessed by Captain Rogers would have enabled Young Midoriya to accomplish this easily." Edwin replied.
"Really. Tell me about him." Inko asked.
While Vision proceeded to tell the story of Captain America to both Inko and Mitsuki, Izuku was taking a break from his exercise.
To anyone who would have been watching, they would have seen a young man exercising and using a large frisbee for physical activity.
They would have also noticed a quartet of very cute girls gathered around him.
CLICK!
Izuku looked up suddenly and saw Mina Ashido, wearing a white two-piece bikini with frills around the waist, holding her phone up.
"Did you just take a picture of me, Ashido?" Izuku asked the pink-skinned girl.
"MINA!" she emphasized her name, wishing to be on first-name basis with the cute and highly athletic teenage boy. "And yes. Don't worry. I've got others." the pink-skinned girl smiled.
Izuku was blushing wildly as the girls as they came over to him.
Momo was wearing a red one-piece suit, that had a couple of holes cut out of it, specifically around the chest to show her cleavage.
Tsuyu was wearing a dark green and white striped short-sleeved bodysuit that left her head, arms and legs exposed.
And Toga was wearing a black two-piece bikini with a picture of a white cat on one of the cups of her top.
"You do? Let me see!" Toga said as she snatched away the phone.
"Hey! That's mine!" Mina shouted as pink-skinned girl tried to grab the phone back.
Toga smiled as she quickly sprinted away with Mina giving chase.
Tsuyu just looked at the pairs antics while Momo sat down next to Izuku.
"Sorry about that." Momo apologized.
"It's alright. I should be used to it by now." Izuku said.
"I've known Mina for years and I'm still not used to her... bustling energy."
"And how are you doing with your new powers?" Izuku asked the girl.
Momo held up her left hand, as a small electrical surge emanated from the palm of her hand. She then stretched her hand out and blasted the sand in front of her. It left a small scorch mark and a hole.
"I'm getting better. I'm still amazed at how easy it is to use my powers, especially since they are, essentially new powers." she said.
"Yeah, there is that." he laughed.
Momo had had her new powers for little more than six weeks, directly following the theft of her original quirk, and had been blessed at having people around to help train her in how to fully utilize her new abilities.
She wasn't sure how her father explained that his only daughter had changed quirks or gotten a new one, since she recalled her father telling his entire company to figure out how to get her daughters stolen quirk back.
Both she and her mother took a great deal of time to convince him that his actions were rather rash, but she was his daughter and so his need to overreact was understandable.
Until this incident, there had never been a reason for him to worry about his daughter.
Izuku could only smile sadly at how having such a father would have affected his life.
He then looked over at his mother who was interacting with Vision.
It still shocked the young future hero that the crate he and All Might had found had actually been a humanoid android that was made out of nanotechnology.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Flashback, U.A. High, two months ago)
Nezu was practicably giddy with excitement at what he was seeing in front of his eyes.
A fully functioning humanoid android, about 6 feet 2 inches tall, with an athletic build, a pure-white complexion, no hair, yellow eyes and a glowing blue gemstone in his forehead. The white cape flowing behind him was a nice touch.
What's more is that the android, which called itself Vision, was a copy of the original Vision who fought alongside the Avengers team back in 2019 against Thanos.
Possessing a variety of special abilities such as super strength, flight, energy projections from the blue stone in its forehead, a highly calculative brain, and the ability to shift its own density, becoming either intangible or virtually indestructible, the android was a powerhouse.
And what's more, programmed with the knowledge of the Avengers past, as well as the villains they had once fought.
However, it was its highly calculative brain that Nezu was interested in. Himself being a High Spec hero and principal of U.A.
"I have to say that this was quite unexpected." Nezu said as he stood on top of his desk, facing the android.
"And for myself as well." Vision spoke. "I was to be the final component in Mr. Stark's and Mr. Ikari's contingency plan.
"Yes, we saw and heard the recorded message that Shinji Ikari left for us." Nezu said. "Well, allow me to introduce myself. I am Nezu, principal of U.A."
"Yes. Power Loader and David Shield explained who you are and what this school's purpose is. It seems much has changed in the past two centuries. Regardless, my original mission remains unchanged. I request an update as to who has been given the special powers and weaponry that were previously... inside me."
Nezu smiled as he said that.
"The purple super soldier serum was used by our current Number 1 Pro-Hero and future teacher here at U.A., called All Might. This was to alleviate a specific health problem he had. It's actually worked out very well for him." he said as he pointed to the large blond-haired man standing before them.
"The blue super soldier serum, and the special Vibranium shield, had been given to a young man named Izuku Midoriya, who is in the process of preparing to enter U.A. and train to become a hero."
"And how old is Mr. Midoriya?"
"15."
"Fitting. Please, continue."
"The heart-shaped herb was given to a young woman named Himiko Toga, who had recently had her quirk stolen by, supposedly, a villain named All For One."
All Might bristled at hearing that. He still wasn't sure if All-For-One was alive or not, but from everything he was hearing, he very well might be.
"The spider-venom was given to a young woman named Momo Yaoyorozu who also had her quirk stolen. Supposedly by the same villain who had taken Miss Toga's quirk."
Vision's brow seemed to crease at hearing that.
"The hammer of Thor, Mjolnir, has found its way into the hands of a young woman named Melissa Shield, daughter of a trusted friend of All Might. As for the other items, the nanotech armored suit, the shrinking suit with the Pym Particles, the gamma-irradiated blood, and the panther habit in the tooth necklace, are still in the Support Department Studio." Nezu finished.
"And what will become of the two Infinity Gems?" Vision asked, indicating the two glowing gems that were currently sitting in a pair of separate containers on Nezu's desk.
"We will need to put them under even more special lock-and-key that only myself and maybe one other member of my staff can have access to." Nezu said. "If they are what you say they are, no one, absolutely NO ONE, must be allowed to have them."
"I doubt your security measures will be enough to stop me."
"Perhaps. But you do not have ill-intentions to use them for nefarious reasons, do you?" Nezu asked, rather coyly.
"I do not. My secondary protocol is to protect the Reality Stone and the Power Stone from being misused by evil forces."
"And what is your primary protocol?" David Shield asked.
"To protect and aid the new Avengers team." Vision said.
"You mean... to be a hero." Nezu stated.
"Yes."
"And that's fine. But... it's going to be at least three years before the new Avengers team will rise. They are teenagers right now and they have to be properly trained before they can be out in public, fighting crime and protecting the innocent." the principal said.
"Or avenging the innocent." David said. "Not to mention there is the matter of who else will be given the other items in the case."
"That is a debate for another time. That being said, we will have to create a cover story for you." Nezu said.
"We could just say that David created him." All Might said.
The group looked at each other in mild annoyance. Even David Shield looked unamused.
"While I am smart, I wouldn't have been able to create something like him out of the blue. It would have taken me years of hard work just to perfect the nanotechnology that makes him up." David said.
"Not to mention you would have had to have some kind of inspiration to do so." Power Loader said.
"Yeah. I'm not really big on inspiration these days." David said sheepishly. "Though I would have loved to meet the men behind these fantastic inventions."
"I am sure they would have enjoyed meeting you and the heroes of this world as well." Vision said.
"Well, until we can figure out what to do with you, we'll place you in David Shields and Power Loaders custody in the Support Department." Nezu said.
"And what of the Avengers?" Vision asked.
"Mr. Midoriya and the others are still working on mastering their new abilities, and will be ready for the Entrance Exam within three months. To that end, is there anything else you can tell us?"
"What do you wish to know?"
"Everything." Nezu said with a wide smile.
"I would like to know that as well." a new voice said as all eyes turned towards the new person in the room.
It was a tall man with a slim build, dressed in a very nice suit, a pair of glasses on, fine cut hair and a very serious look on his face.
"Ah. Sir Nighteye. Thank you for coming." Nezu said.
"Thank you for calling. Now, what is..." he said as he suddenly paused when he looked at All Might. A shocked and confused look passed across his face. "All Might... you... you're healed?" he asked. He didn't need his quirk of foresight to know that something had changed in the man.
"I am." the Number 1 Pro-Hero said with a smile. "And before you start berating me on my actions, let me just say that I did what I had to do, for several reasons."
"I don't know all what happened to you, but I'm sure I would berate you for some reckless action you have taken."
"True."
"Please explain the situation." Sir Nighteye said to Nezu.
"Several hours ago, a young woman named Momo Yaoyorozu had her quirk stolen by someone." Nezu said.
"Her quirk was stolen?" Nighteye gasped, his mind already going to the same place All Mights mind had.
"Yes. She does not remember anything specific. She was apparently teleported from her dressing room at the mall while trying on some new clothes, and had activated her emergency signal necklace, which her father gave to her in the event she was kidnapped."
"Smart."
"The person who kidnapped her then stole her quirk and had her teleported back to the dressing room at the mall. Her friends and chauffeur found her in her dressing room, without her quirk."
"Without her quirk. You don't mean..."
"We suspect it might be him. But we don't know for certain." All Might said grimly. "Like we said, Miss Yaoyorozu doesn't remember much of anything."
"Understood. Did anything else happen in regards to this incident?"
"Yes. Another young woman named Himiko Toga had her quirk stolen a couple of hours before that." Nezu said.
"Another quirk theft... on the same day? And what were their quirks?" Nighteye mused.
"Miss Yaoyorozu possessed the ability to create any inorganic object using the limpets in her body. And Miss Toga possessed the ability to shapeshift into any person after ingesting their blood."
Nighteye's eyebrow bounced a little at hearing that, managing to keep his disgust hidden.
"Both quirks would be valuable to anyone in the criminal underworld. Especially if he is behind it all. And it does sound like it. And returning Miss Yaoyorozu instead of keeping her for ransom makes sense... given the signal necklace she had would have revealed their hideout location. And I assume both girls ended up here."
"Yes. Miss Toga was brought in by another future student named Izuku Midoriya. Miss Yaoyorozu's parents brought her here to U.A. after speaking with the police."
Nighteye wondered who this Izuku Midoriya was, but filed that bit of information away for later.
He then looked at Nezu suspiciously, even as the rodent principal smiled.
"Something else has happened, hasn't it?" he asked.
"Perhaps you could be more specific." Nezu said with a coy smile.
He looked over at All Might and then at the android who was standing in front of them.
"All Might is changed, and this... android... is beyond anything I've ever seen." he said. "I am sensing that there is more to this than you are telling me. How did this all come about? Did you find something?"
"What do you mean, Nighteye?" Nezu asked playfully.
Nighteye grimaced at the chimera's attitude. He didn't like it when Nezu got like this.
"I mean... I can't sense anything about this... android. And All Might. I could see his future and what would happen if he continued down his given path. What with his injury and all. But... that future I foresaw... does not exist anymore. Something out of our regular sphere of influence has happened. And you clearly know more than I do about it."
Nezu smiled at the mans deductive skill and looked at All Might who simply looked back, before the principal nodded at him.
"Well... it started a few days ago when Young Midoriya and I found a strange case at Dagobah Beach." All Might started to explain.

(Dagobah Beach)
"Himiko! Give Me That Back!" Mina shouted as she chased the blond catgirl around the beach, however Himiko was far quicker and more agile, and seemed to be playing with the pink-skinned girl. Especially since she was running on all fours, like a cat, with Mina's phone in her mouth.
Tsuyu and Momo just stared at the pairs antics, pleased that Himiko had joined their little group. Mostly because her bubbly energy was a match for Mina, which kept the girl occupied and they didn't have to deal with her.
"And how is Himiko getting along at your place?" Tsuyu asked as she sat down next to Izuku.
"Fine. Mom likes having a daughter, especially after hearing what happened to her."
"Daughter? So her adoption went through?" Momo asked.
"Yes. Your parents were very helpful with that."
"They just had our family lawyer process the paper work. Especially after finding out that her parents disowned her."
"Which made things easier than expected."
"It was the least they could do to thank you for what you did for me." Momo said. "In fact they still think they owe you something for helping me."
Izuku wasn't sure how to take that.
"Tsuyu! Look at this!" Himiko said as she rushed up behind the frog girl and showed her the phone.
"You got a lot of pictures here of Izuku." Tsuyu said as she looked at Minas phone. "Without his shirt on. You're not posting these are you?"
"Oh, come on! It's not that bad!" Mina said as she finally caught up to the pair.
"It could be, Mina! Don't forget, you're still in hot water for what happened to me." Momo said.
"I already apologized for that, Momo!" Mina whined. "A Hundred Times! How was I supposed to know some creep would be tracking you from my social media posts?"
Sir Nighteye had been the one to figure out how Momo had gotten kidnapped.
Apparently Mina had been posting her outings with her friends on social media. Pictures and videos. Obviously, someone had found out about Mina being friends with Momo and used that to track her whereabouts, right to the mall and even the dressing room where she was changing clothes.
It was creepy and disturbing to think how intelligent someone had to be to stalk and kidnap their target in a crowded and public place, right from under the nose of everyone in the area. Especially with so many quirked individuals and security devices in the area.
Obviously, the person who kidnapped Momo, according to her, was using some kind of teleporting or warping quirk, able to create portals to anywhere they wanted. With potentially unlimited range too, made trying to find them impossible.
Because of this, Mina's social media account, instead of being closed, was closely monitored by Nighteye's agency as well as some of Mr. Yaoyorozu's people. Hopefully they would be able to backtrack some of the viewers and find the person responsible.
And in order to find these people, Mina was allowed to continue her social media posting.
It was a long-shot, but better than nothing.
While Mina had no idea that such a thing would happen, she did get a stern lecture by her parents as well as Momo's parents, and Sir Nighteye, as to the dangers of social media.
Momo had lost her quirk because of this, so it did leave Mina with a feeling of guilt at what had happened to her friend.
Mina was glad that Momo had gotten a new quirk thanks to Izuku. Her new quirk was truly versatile and impressive.
Her super strength was enough to lift her family limousine, with one hand. She could run and move faster than ever before. She could leap a good fifty feet in one jump. She could climb up any surface and even stand on the ceiling with her feet firmly attached to it and not fall.
Then there were her other abilities. She could shoot electrical-like bolts of energy from the tips of her fingers, and she even had organic-web glands in her wrists that enabled her to fire a type of super strong webbing which she could direct with ease. Using this, she could either ensnare a person or object, snag them and pull them to her, and she could even use them to swing around as if it was a piece of steel rope.
Of course, she also discovered that the organic webbing would dissolve in about an hour.
But her two other more unique abilities were her danger-warning 'Spider-Sense', which alerted her to any and all threats to her person. And then there was her pheromone-emission.
This second power she found perplexing, as it made any male around her immediately obey her every command, while it made any female around her panic and shy away from her.
Mina, of course, made endless jokes about this, saying that Momo would be able to get any man she wanted and keep any jealous woman away from her. If she wasn't already an attractive young woman who could entice men with her beauty and charm, she now had a power to make them bow to her every whim.
Momo knew she would have to be careful with this power.
Just then, a little girl rushed passed them and dropped to her knees into the sand.
Izuku was the first to see her.
She was a small girl with messy off-white, almost bluish hair, wide red-eyes and a small brown horn on the right side of her forehead. She was wearing a dirty, short-sleeved dress and had bandages wrapped around her arms and legs.
"Are you alright?" Izuku asked as he got up and rushed over to her.
"H-Help... me." she suddenly said.
Momo's spider-sense suddenly went off as she noticed three men begin rushing towards them.
"Hey! You!" the largest of the men shouted. "Hand Over The Kid!"
Izuku just looked at the three 'goons' who had just appeared.
She clutched to Izuku tightly, fear evident in her eyes.
Izuku and Momo quickly took notice of the three men.
The first was a tall, lean young man with light, almond-shaped eyes, visibly small irises, chin-length bright golden-blond hair, which seemed to obscure his right eye. He had a wide mouth with straight teeth and thin eyebrows. Izuku noticed he had almost a crazed look in his eyes. He wore a dark green dress shirt with a light orange tie, dark pants and shoes, and a beak-shaped plague mask
The second man was tall and muscular with shadowed eyes and a shaven head. He wore a dark dress shirt, plain pants, and a pair of black dress shoes. On his face was a simple medical mask that covered his mouth.
The third man was a slim man with circular eyes, dark eye bags and short, unruly black hair. He had a large mouth, which was obvious since the rest of his head was covered in a burlap sack, held by a rope knot around his neck. The mask had two openings for his eyes and a stitched smile. He wore a purple dress shirt and grey pants.
"Huh? Why?" Izuku asked, standing between the trio and the scared-looking girl.
"Our boss wants her back." the blond-haired man said.
"And who is your boss?" Izuku asked.
"That's not your concern." the bald man said.
"OH... please tell me." Momo asked, rather sweetly to the men.
Despite that the men were wearing masks, none of them were airtight. Meaning that a couple of them were more than a little prone to being affected by Momo's pheromones.
"Kai Chisaki, head of the Shie Hassaikai." the man with the burlap sack over his head said.
The teenage students looked at each other in shock. Mina, Himiko and Tsuyu had suddenly arrived behind them.
"Shie Hassaikai?" Mina asked, clearly confused.
"It's a local Yakuza group." Himiko answered.
The group of teens were panicked now.
These men worked for a Yakuza boss. And whatever they wanted with this girl, it was bad.
On the one hand, Izuku and the girls weren't defenseless. However, they were still teenagers while these three were adults. They doubtless had experience and there was no way of telling what their quirks were. Fighting them would be a problem. Potentially fatal.
Momo kept her pheromones pumping, more out of fear than anything else, as she pressed a number on her phone.
"Who are you?" Momo asked.
"And what are your quirks?" Izuku quickly asked.
"Toya Setsuno. My quirk is larceny. I can literally steal things from other people, right into my own hands. I have to see my target and there is a size limit to what I can steal." the tall, lean man with the almond-shaped eyes and chin-length golden-blond hair, said. 'Why did I tell him that?' he suddenly wondered.
"I'm Yu Hojo and my quirk is crystalize. I can generate sharp and durable crystals around my body." the tall and muscular man with the shaven head said. 'Why did I answer him?' he wondered.
"I'm Soramitsu Tabe, and my quirk is called Food. I can literally eat and digest anything." the slim man with the burlap sack over his head said. 'Huh? Why did I tell him that?' he thought.
Just then another person arrived.
The three Yakuza gasped when they saw a pale-skinned humanoid in a white cape literally float up towards them.
"Who are you?" Yu asked.
"I am Vision, a teacher at U.A., and these children are under my supervision." the android said.
"A U.A. teacher?" Toya asked.
"He might be a Pro-Hero." Yu added.
"Dammit! We can't risk a fight out here!" Toya said.
"Guys!" Soramitsu snapped.
The other pair looked over and saw a pair of men in black suits and sunglasses rushing towards them.
"Private security?" Toya wondered.
"Dammit! Chisaki is gonna be pissed!" Soramitsu squeaked.
"We Gotta Get The Kid Now!" Yu shouted.
Yu suddenly spread crystals all over his arms and fists, lunging for the little girl.
Izuku quickly spun around and grabbed the little girl, lifting her up and running away as Momo and the other girls quickly jumped out of the way.
Toya used his larceny quirk to steal the gun from one of Momo's bodyguards.
Soramitsu used his Food quirk to bite the gun from Momo's other bodyguard in half.
Seeing Toya aim the gun at her bodyguard, Momo was quick to come to their aid, blasting the two men with her Venom Blasts.
"ARGH!" Soramitsu shouted as he fell to the ground.
"OMPH!" Toya screamed as he dropped onto his back.
Momo knew what her bodyguards quirks were, and while they might have been able to handle these two, her knee-jerk reaction to what they had done had possibly saved them.
"Detain them. I'll call the police!" Momo ordered her guards.
"Yes, ma'am!" the guards said.
Vision was on the crystalized man, blocking his path to Izuku and the girl.
"Out Of The Way, Pale-Face!" Yu shouted.
"I Will Not!" Vision declared.
The crystal-mans fist flew towards Vision, only to crash like glass against a concrete sidewalk.
Vision did not even flinch, as his skin was unharmed.
"Hmm. Your abilities are formidable. Fortunately..." Vision said as he suddenly thrust his hand into the man's chest, causing him to wince. Hard. "...so are mine."
Increasing the density of his hand, caused a painful shock to the man that rendered him unconscious.
Everyone gasped when they saw that. Izuku had to fight the urge to go on one of his fanboy rants about his quirk. Even though it wasn't a quirk, but a mechanical super power.
"That." Tsuyu started to say.
"Was." Mina added to the conversation.
"Awesome!" Himiko shouted as she jumped into the air.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The police arrived and took the trio into custody.
Inko and Mitsuki were fussing over Izuku and the girls, in particular the little girl named Eri they had just met.
When it was stated that the little girl was being sought after by a Yakuza group, and that the girl was in a rather fearful and terrible state, well Inko became super concerned.
It was Vision, who, thanks to Nezu and David Shield, was able to scan and analyze the little girl and determine what her quirk was. Needless to say, her ability to 'Rewind' things and people was a little hard to understand.
Izuku immediately went into a whole tirade about what her quirk could do and what its possible applications were. Even though he had just heard about it.
Everyone just stopped and stared at Izuku while he was mumbling and writing all of this down in his notebook.
"There he goes again." Tsuyu said.
"Where did he get that notebook?" Mina asked.
"I have no idea." Himiko replied.
"Considering that the young lady is being sought after by the Yakuza, we will need to contact the police and turn her over to child services, or..." Vision said.
"But that could end up getting her kidnapped again by those thugs!" Izuku said.
"And if her quirk is as potentially powerful as you say it is..." Momo said to Vision.
"We need another means of protecting her." Izuku added.
"I'll take her." Inko said.
Everyone looked at the green-haired woman. Even Eri looked at the plump, green-haired woman.
"Inko?" Mitsuki asked.
"Mom?" Izuku asked.
"Look. This little girl has obviously been hurt by those thugs. She needs a better home, and I would not feel right about sending her to some cold child services facility." Inko sad.
"Mrs. Midoriya is correct." Vision added. "Especially if what I fear is true."
"What do you mean?"
"I have already run facial analysis on the girl, based on various databases I am connected to, thanks to Sir Nighteye and Principal Nezu. She is the granddaughter of a Yakuza Boss, and apparently this Kai Chisaki is her guardian."
The group looked shocked and horrified at that. They all stared at Eri, the little girl shrinking under their gazes at what each of them was thinking.
"No! There's no way we can let her go back to them!" Izuku declared.
"Absolutely not! I mean, look at her! She's already terrified of going back! There's no telling what they were doing to her!" Mitsuki said.
"But if those Yakuza are her legal guardians..." Tsuyu started to say.
"That doesn't matter! They're criminals! We can't let her go back to them!" Mina declared.
"But what do we do?" Himiko asked.
"Uh, Momo? I have a huge favor to ask." Izuku said.
Momo had a funny feeling what it might be.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(24-hours later)
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'ERI IS NO LONGER MINE'?!" Kai Chisaki shouted to his subordinate.
"Uh... just what I stated, sir. The little girl has been removed from your custody." Hari Kurono, also known as Chronostasis, said to the man.
"Don't I have to give my consent in that regard? Legally, she belongs to me!" he shouted.
"Not anymore, sir. Lawyers from the Yaoyorozu Conglomerate have already filed paperwork to have the girl removed from your custody. U.A. High School and two hero agencies are backing them on this, which has already been approved by the government." Hari said. "Apparently when they found out that you are a Yakuza... well, they didn't need your approval."
'U.A.? The Yaoyorozu Conglomerate? How The HELL Did They Get Involved? Is that why the government approved it so fast?' he wondered. "What Hero Agencies Are Backing Them?" he asked.
"The Nighteye Agency and the All Might Agency."
Kai fumed/groaned/lamented in disbelief in hearing that.
Bad enough three of his own men had failed to retrieve the little girl after she ran away, but now they were in police custody as well. Which also meant that he was without his primary source for creating his quirk-killer bullets.
And now he was being told that the little brat was out of his reach, both legally and physically, and most likely being protected by those damned heroes.
Especially if All Might was involved in this!
How the hell had this happened? It was supposed to be a simple retrieval job. How had the little brat slipped so far away from him that he couldn't ever get her back?
Not only was she being protected by a bunch of heroes, but also the Yaoyorozu Conglomerate and the government? How had that happened?
The Shie Hassaikai were already under constant surveillance from the government after being pushed into the shadows thanks to heroes like All Might. But now this incident would probably cast a spotlight on them once again, and that wasn't what they (or he) needed, wanted or desired.
Would they use this as a means to raid their bases and hideouts? Did they know where they were? Would they come for him specifically? Would his men talk?
Maybe. Possibly.
While Toya, Yu and Soramitsu had proven to be loyal in the past, and were part of the Eight Bullets that Chisaki had formed within The Shie Hassaikai, there was no telling what methods the heroes or the government would employ to get them to talk.
"Get out! Just Get Out!" Chisaki said, and the man hurriedly left the office. 'One job! They had ONE JOB! Retrieve a runaway child and nothing else! How had they screwed that up so badly?' he wondered.
Had she somehow been found by a patrolling hero? Had she stumbled upon someone from the Yaoyorozu Conglomerate and convinced them to help her? Had All Might himself found her? Chisaki had no way of knowing.
If he believed in karma, he would have thought this was the absolute worst luck he could ever have in his life, while the little brat had lucked out and been saved from him and his men.
'If I find the damned heroes who found and helped that brat... so help me... I will rip them apart a thousand times over and make them beg for death before I give it!' he mentally screamed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Somewhere in Musutafu... Izuku Midoriya felt a chill go up his spine. As if someone had just threatened his life.
'Weird. I haven't really seen Katsuki for months. Why would he want to hurt me now?' he absently thought as he watched Eri enjoy her ice cream. 'Then again, it is Katsuki we're talking about.'
After the incident at the beach, Izuku and the others realized that getting everyone they could get involved in this was the best course of action.
Momo had contacted her parents, Izuku had contacted All Might, who had brought in Sir Nighteye and U.A. into this matter. Mitsuki, being a lawyer, had helped too and with their combined support and influence, the government had quickly removed Eri from Kai Chisaki's custody. Especially when they found out that he was Yakuza and was probably hurting the little girl in many horrible ways.
Momo's parents were more than willing to repay Izuku for what he had done for their daughter, and even made sure that Inko could support having another child in her custody, after taking in Himiko.
So, as it was, Eri became Eri Midoriya, adopted daughter of Inko Midoriya and sister to Izuku Midoriya and Himiko Midoriya.
However, it was because of this that All Might and Nighteye worried for their safety should Kai Chisaki and his bunch find out where they were. So... the family of four were moved into a new location!

"I can't believe we have to move!" Himiko said as she packed up her belongings. "I was just getting used to this place."
"I know, Himiko, but it's important for our protection." Izuku said as he loaded the boxes with his All Might merchandise into the truck. "Mostly because we don't want The Shie Hassaikai to find us."
"We could take 'em!" she declared.
"And risk Mom or Eri being collateral damage?"
"That wouldn't happen!"
"Maybe. But this is for the best. Besides... Momo and her family were gracious enough to help us by putting us up at their place."
"Are you sure it's not because Momo just wants you close to her?" Himiko teased.
Izuku blushed a little at hearing that.
While Himiko liked teasing her 'brother', she had to admit she was a little worried at the thought of someone stealing him away from her.
Not that Momo would admit that to anyone.
But the whole thing was as surreal to her as to Izuku. She had a family again, a mother who adored her children, a brother who supported her, (and it was possible he would be more to her), and a new little sister to protect.
After hearing what those Yakuza bastards had probably done to hurt Eri, Himiko was adamant about not letting anyone touch the girl. She herself knew what it meant to be hurt by others, having been rejected by her original family and living on the streets for more than a year by herself.
Her own blood-lust caused by her quirk had been a major problem too.
She mused, actually wondering about that Potato-headed guy who took her quirk and if she didn't owe him something for giving her a new life.
If not for that, she probably wouldn't have met Izuku and gotten a new quirk. She was on the path to being a hero instead of a villain, and she now had a new family that loved and cared for her.
'Ironic' didn't even begin to describe her situation.
"Well, come on, we've got more boxes to load."
"Alright, alright, alright."
Then again, since Izuku had cleaned up a whole beach in a few months, this was nothing.

(Yaoyorozu Mansion)
Momo Yaoyorozu had been too ecstatic to sleep the day she got her new quirk.
And with her original quirk, Creation, taken from her, she was in the process of adjusting to having a new quirk.
Though, it wasn't really a quirk.
Izuku Midoriya had given her the rundown on just what powers she was going to possess. The abilities of a spider.
She had naturally done some research on the Internet and found out just what proportionate abilities she was going to possess.
It had taken her less time to figure out what to do with it than she originally thought.
She was going to possess the powers and abilities of a spider, so... she would have to call herself something other than 'Creati'. Something like Spider-Girl or Spider-Woman would be the most obvious choices. Or perhaps 'Arachne', from the Greek legends, or maybe even 'Silk'.
The real challenge was going to be what her costume would look like.
Her original costume idea, which was little more than a swimsuit-like leotard, was designed to give her creations a better chance to emerge from her exposed skin. Otherwise, any clothing she wore would be destroyed upon the emergence of her creations.
She decided to keep the red of her original costume, and throwing in a little bit of yellow as well. The first outfit she came up with was far different than her original outfit. A skin-tight full bodysuit that covered her from her head to her toes. Though she would leave her hair loose, her entire body would be covered.
This actually made Momo happy for some reason.
'At least I won't be unintentionally flashing people.' she thought as she designed her new outfit.
She had to submit her designs to the Support Department of her fathers company so as to get it by the time she enrolled in U.A. along with her friends.
She smiled.
She had friends. And good ones at that. They had their own personality quirks, but that was to be expected.
Getting back to her costume design, she smiled as she finished her drawings.
"Nice outfit!" a new voice pipped up.
"AHH! Mina!" Momo gasped.
"Did I scare you? I thought you had some kind of danger-warning sense so that no one could sneak up on you?" the pink girl asked.
"Izuku explained that my Spider-Sense only works on those I consider a threat. My 'friends' don't trigger my spider-sense." she smirked. "Though in your case I could make an exception." she said, sending a whiff of pheromones to the girl.
"Eep!" she gasped.
While Momo didn't enjoy scaring her friends, her spider-pheromones had one of two effects on a person.
If they were a male, then that person would immediately be attracted or smitten with her. If it was a female, they would immediately be intimidated or scared.
Momo had looked up this pheromone phenomenon and she found it fascinating.
To be honest, she found spiders to be more fascinating than she originally had.
When she had heard what powers she was going to get, she was intrigued. Since it was going to be a whole new arsenal of abilities she was not familiar with. And she only had three months in which to fully prepare and train herself.
She had had her creation quirk all her life and she had been testing herself and using it to the best of her abilities, even to help her fathers corporation.
She only hoped that whoever got her powers was not smart enough to use it.
But now she had a new set of abilities.
"So what are you thinking for the new costume?" Mina asked, trying to change the subject.
"A full bodysuit, with silicon carbide discs, ceramic matrices, and accompanying laminates. The latest in cutting edge body armor, better than kevlar and titanium plating." Momo said.
"Uh..." Mina said, looking lost. "You want to make a full bodysuit out of that?"
"Absolutely. I might be stronger and tougher than I was before, but after what happened at the mall, I might need even better protection."
"But you got a new quirk... and Izuku and his family are moving in with you guys."
"That was more my suggestion than anything else. Mostly to protect Eri from The Shie Hassaikai if they ever came looking for her."
"Are you sure it's not to keep Izuku closer to you?" she teased again.
Momo blushed at hearing that.
"I mean, they are moving onto your families property and getting their own mansion, and..."
"It's not a mansion, Mina! It's the Guest House behind the main mansion!" Momo argued.
"It's bigger than a three-story house, Momo! And it's got its very own pool and tennis court, kitchen, living room, each of them will get their own room..."
"It's Seven Bedrooms and Five Bathrooms, I know, I know, I know. But we hadn't had anyone living there for a while, so..." she said with a shrug.
"Momo! Mina! Izuku and his family are here!" Tsuyu said from the hallway.

The delivery truck didn't have much to deliver. Most of the boxes were Izuku's hero merchandise and their furniture.
"Whoa! This house is amazing!" Himiko gasped when she saw the 'house'.
"I hope you like it." Momo said as she stood next to Himiko by the truck. "It was our summer guest house. It hasn't been used much these last couple of years."
"And you thought to give it as a gift to Izuku and the rest of us?" Himiko asked as she looked over and saw Inko with Eri, who was wearing a new set of clothes the green-haired woman had just bought for her.
"My parents thought it would be a good way of thanking him. For what he did. For me." Momo said.
"Girl, giving you a quirk is one thing... but isn't this a little much?" Himiko asked.
"That's just my parents for you." Momo shrugged.
Inko and Eri just looked at their new residence with awe.
Izuku couldn't thank Momo and her family enough.
It was one thing to help them get Eri away from the Yakuza, now legally, but to give him and his family something like this... it just boggled his super soldier mind.
"Well, come on. We have to get settled in, and we've got less than a month before the UA Entrance Exam."
"I still can't believe I'm going to go to UA. And I'm gonna be apart of a legendary team of superheroes!" Himiko giggled.
"Himiko! We're not going to be part of a legendary team of heroes." Izuku said to her.
"We're not?" she asked, confused.
"Nope. We're going to be the next generation of legendary heroes." he said with a smile.

Authors Notes:
Been so long since I updated this story. Hope everyone enjoys this. This was actually shorter than I intended. Mostly because I originally wanted Izuku and the girls to fight The Shie Hassaikai , but part of me thought that might have been overkill. The kids will have more action in the next chapter and right before they go to UA for the Entrance Exam.
And I will have a special surprise for several of the regular characters going forward.
Also, anyone who catches the John Wick reference in this chapter, gets a cookie.
Read and review.

OMAKE
Nana Shimura and Sorahiko Torino looked at the items that Toshinori Yagi had left with them.
Specifically the heart-shaped plant inside the glass box, the strange silver-toothed necklace, the blue and purple serums and the injection gun, the metallic circular shield, and the syringe with the yellow spider venom inside it.
Toshinori had taken the strange metallic footlocker the items had come in, along with the black leather and kevlar suit and the vial of red/green liquid, along with the strange nanotech suit of armor.
Nana was hopeful that Toshinori could find some worthy candidates, most likely quirkless people, to become heroes.
Her mind was brought back to the present when she heard Torino talking.
"So... we basically have four items here that can give a person, any person really, super powers?" Sorahiko asked.
"Well... five really. If we find a person who has a good enough quirk they don't need one of these serums." Nana said.
"Like who?" he asked.
"Well... there is Chiyo." she said with a smile.
"Chiyo? Chiyo Shuzenji? That new heroine with the healing quirk?" he asked, slightly dumbfounded.
"She wants to be a field medic, saving people in the field. If she had enhanced physiology like these serums could grant her, she could reach people much easier." Nana explained.
"Okay, okay, okay. What about that new kid at UA? Uh... Native?" Sorahiko asked.
"That first-year student with the empathy quirk that Nezu recommended as a possible candidate for One For All?" Nana asked.
"The kid's got heart. Least Nezu thinks so." Sorahiko said.
"How is Nezu doing? Think he'd be a good candidate for one of these serums?" Nana asked.
"Uh... well, maybe. I mean... he's already a genius in a lot of ways. Adding enhanced physical abilities to that type of brain power..." he said, his body going through a full body shiver at just how devastating that combination might be. "Wait, you said five? But there are only four serums."
"Yes. Four serums. But... if we could find someone who didn't really need a serum, and gave them this nanotech suit in the toothy necklace..." she said.
"It's more like a support item... but, yeah I could see that working." he replied. "There is a kid I just met a little while ago. He's got a rather weak quirk so he could be a good candidate for one of these serums."
"Oh? Who is he?" she asked.
"His name is Iruma Suzuki. His quirk is called Evasion. He's got great adaptability, survival skills and agility in dangerous situations, but physically he's pretty weak."
"What's his personality like?"
"Oh, he's too kind for his own good." he said.
"Okay. Anyone else?" she asked.
"Well... there's this girl who goes to the same school as Iruma. Her name is Clara Valac and she has this really weird quirk that let's her give boundless energy to other people." he said.
"Boundless energy?" she asked.
"I know, weird right?" he replied with a chuckle.
"And... she can give this energy to other people?" Nana asked.
"Yeah. I think it's more like stamina. She does it by touch. But if she doesn't give out a certain amount of it in a day it builds up and will overload her nervous system or something and... well..." he said with a shrug.
"Wow. Okay. That's a little... wait! Doesn't Chiyo's healing quirk use a person's stamina to heal them?" she asked.
"Yes. But if they don't have enough stamina when they are injured, they can't be healed. Oh! I see what you're thinking." he said with sudden realization.
"If she can give a person stamina from her own body, and it takes stamina to heal people..." she said as her mind was racing.
"Huh. They might have a good team. We should get them a meeting." he said.
"Right. So... we have a list of candidates for these new serums and one support item. Let's at least talk to them and see if they want them." Nana said with a wide smile.
"Okay. Let's do it." he agreed. "Let's go make some heroes."
