It started off as a beautiful spring day. The sky was blue; white clouds rolling. The birds were singing, people walking around with a skip in their step and smile on their face. It was peaceful every kind normal day.

Until a villain attacked the downtown shopping area. Reaction was immediate, several new Pro-Heroes from the nearby offices, showing up all at once.

"It's like a class reunion," Mina said cheerfully, waving at both Izuku and Katsuki in the distance.

"You say that every time we team up together," Eijiro called over his shoulder. The four of them were closest to this area, sharing territory and covering each other's backs. It had only been a year since they had graduated, just barely getting the wind beneath their wings and venturing out. "We got the civilians! You two can take care of him!"

The villain roared, muscles multiplying and rippling, stretching beyond the human limitations. "ENOUGH! I HAD ENOUGH!" He clapped, sending a shockwave out, destroying walls and blowing over the foliage.

"That's got to be some sort of muscle enhancement Quirk," Izuku called out. "Kacchan! Go up!"

"Stop telling me what to do, Deku!" Katsuki followed regardless, jumping high into the air. He dropped like a hammer, explosions adding additional power.

Izuku darted forward, driving a high powered low kick into his gut.

The villain stumbled back, howling in pain. Izuku pivoted, a well-placed tornado kick hitting hard against the villain's face, sending him into the wall.

Snarling, the villain pushed aside from the rubble, struggling to his feet. "Fuck you! I will end everything you love, starting with your mother!"

Silence. Everyone froze, turning to see Deku's reaction. Eijiro knew that Izuku loved his mother dearly. They were still new to the Pro-Hero business and this was the first time, as far as Eijiro knew, that someone specifically threatened to go after a family member.

"You're kidding, right?" Izuku said, honest confusion on his face. "He's kidding, right? Kacchan, did you hear that?"

"That this idiot has a fucking death wish? Hell yeah. There are fucking easier ways to commit suicide," Katsuki said with a snort.

"You're not worried?" Eijiro called out. He shared a look with Mina who shrugged.

"For his health!" Izuku shouted back. He looked back at the villain. "You were kidding, right?"

"TAKE ME SERIOUSLY!" The villain roared, charging straight for Izuku.

Out of nowhere, a frying pan slammed in villain's head, knocking him out. He fell over like Goliath, slain.

"What the hell," Eijiro said, staring in disbelief.

Katsuki twitched, looking at Izuku. "You're sure she isn't in the area, right?"

Izuku scratched his cheek. "I mean, she said she wasn't going to leave the house today."

"Your house is like ten miles away! How fucking big is her range?"

"Wait, wait!" Eijiro said, waving his hands. "Explain please."

"Inko-baachan is fucking scary," Katsuki said. "Do not fucking pissed her off. She knows."

Izuku picked up the frying pan. "We're lucky she only sent the frying pan," he muttered. "It's completely ruin though. I'll buy a new one on the way home."

Eijiro shared another look with Mina, still completely confused. "We're talking about your mom right Izuku?"

That was when a bag of cookies came gently flying at them. Eijiro stared at it as Izuku blinked.

"Oh she sent cookies," Izuku said. His phone pinged. "Share with your friends, love mom," Izuku dutiful read.

"She knows," Katsuki hissed.

Eijiro just blinked, still stupefied. No, seriously. What the hell was going on? He was so confused. If she had really sent the frying pan and the bag of cookies, and really wasn't in the area… that begged the question.

Who exactly was Midoriya Inko?
