All right, folks. It's time to finally end this story and get back to finishing a lot of other things. In fact, this is going to be the first story I've completed in a while.

But of course, that doesn't mean the journey's over! After this chapter, I'm going to be making a request of you readers who wanna see your favorite characters in my stories!

Until then though, let's finish "Traitor"!

TRAITOR

Pencils were moving about rapidly as the twenty-four students of Class 1-A were taking the Omni Force quiz almost two weeks after it was initially supposed to be taken. The events that took place over the three days in which the students fought off Talon with Overwatch all took a lot out of them. A few of them even found themselves injured, though their recoveries were quick thanks to Recovery Girl. The first to stand up with his quiz completed was of course Izuku. He stared at his answers, including the extra credit before walking up to the front of the room.

"That was fast, Midoriya," Midnight commented as she took the sheet once he handed it to her, "Then again, I shouldn't be surprised-" She stopped talking and blinked in surprise. Izuku took notice.

"Is… everything okay, Miss Midnight?" he asked in concern.

"You left number seventy blank…" she responded quietly. Izuku blinked.

"Oh," he uttered, glancing off to the side for a moment, "I, uh, just assumed after recent events… that would change…" he admitted with a stutter, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. Now the teacher blinked in surprise. She knew that Widowmaker was no longer an Omni Force member by any means, but that didn't mean the history of her membership should be ignored. Of course, she understood her student's disposition. It had been quite a trying time for him and his classmates.

"Well from first glance, it seems like everything else is right," Midnight noted as she smiled, "I think you'll be getting a good grade out of this, Midoriya," she told him. He let out a light laugh in relief before returning to his seat. Katsuki glared at him, though less ferociously and more out of annoyance. Ochaco also glanced over at her crush. They had barely spoken since the raid on Tartarus. It was usually just another hello or a wave in greeting. Then again, how could they talk to each other after she had… Her face went red in embarrassment before she shook her head to alleviate herself.

'IT WASN'T A KISS! IT WASN'T A KISS!' she kept repeating to herself. Though in hindsight, the touching of her lips against his was pretty much… 'IT WASN'T!' she inwardly screamed.

"Are you all right, Uraraka?" Tenya asked, catching her attention as she perked up to see him turn his head to her slightly, "You're muttering like Midoriya…" he pointed out worriedly. She could've sworn she caught on fire for a second.

"Yep, I'm fine!" she quickly squeaked, going back to finishing her quiz. As three quarters of the class had completed the exam, a knock was heard at the door.

"Hm?" Midnight uttered in confusion. She sauntered over to the door and slid it open, gasping lightly in surprise. "Midoriya, you have a visitor!" she called out, causing Izuku to perk up. He got up from his seat and walked towards the door, while everyone else stared at him curiously, especially Natalie, who had bandages over her right arm and her once broken nose. Once the freckled teen slid the door open and went outside, he widened his eyes to see who was there to visit him.

"So I finally get to meet the guy my daughter always talks about," Lucy noted with a light giggle.

"Y-Y-Y-You're… L-L-L-Lu-"

"Lucy Heartfilia," she interjected, holding out her right hand to him, "Or Dragneel…" she corrected with a light blush across her cheeks.

"Um… I-Izuku Midoriya…" the One For All inheritor introduced nervously, taking her hand with his own and shaking it firmly, "Wh…What are you doing here?" he stuttered in question.

"I'm here to thank you on behalf of All Might," Lucy replied, surprising him as he blinked, "And… I'm also here so I can oversee my daughter's checkup with Recovery Girl," she mentioned with a small grin.

"All Might… wanted to thank me?" Izuku inquired. He was evidently shocked.

"He's sorry he couldn't get to tell you himself," Lucy responded, "He and everyone are still in the middle of the investigation into what remains of Talon in this world," she explained to him. Over 80 people associated with Talon were arrested the night of the raid on Tartarus. That included the likes of Moira and Sombra. Reaper, or Gabriel Reyes, was the only one who was killed. Doomfist and Widowmaker had apparently escaped. There was no official word on how many Talon members remained, but heroes were advised to look out for Akande and Amélie first and foremost.

On the other side of things, Overwatch held two private funerals. One for Hanzo, and the other for Gabriel. Izuku was definitely distraught when he heard of the archer's death, especially knowing that Genji was likely mourning for a long time. But on the upside, thanks to the successful deterioration of Talon, Overwatch was starting to be seen in a new light by the public. They were once again being revered as heroes, and more members were starting to flood the organization.

"Anyways," Lucy continued, causing Izuku to snap away from his thoughts, "I'm sure you went through a lot recently, so I'm glad to see you're in high spirits!" she noted with a grin.

"Uh, heh, heh…" he chuckled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head, "Thank you, Missus Dragneel…" he said in gratitude.

"You can call me Lucy," she replied as she gestured towards herself. Just then, the door slid open.

"Hey mom!" Natalie greeted as she stepped outside the classroom, catching their attentions, "What are you doing here?" she asked with an arched eyebrow.

"I'm here to talk to Chiyo about your checkup," Lucy responded as she folded her arms underneath her chest. Her daughter puffed out her cheeks in frustration.

"Mom, I can go get myself checked out on my own…" she complained, turning herself away defiantly. Unfortunately, her parent took her arm and dragged her off as she yelped.

"I know," she retorted, "but I also need to know just how damaged your body is after those injuries," she pointed out seriously.

"Ah, hey!" Natalie yelped, blushing a bright pink, "Not in front of Deku! Mom!" she screamed pleadingly. Izuku looked on with a dumbfounded expression as they went down the hallway. He smiled. The pink haired dragon slayer was someone he admired for being so outgoing, so driven to become a hero. He was glad she was a part of his life. And then his face went red.

'M-M-My life?!' he stuttered inwardly, covering his reddening face with his arms. Why did he suddenly think about that?

"Midoriya, if you're done, you can come back in now!" Midnight yelled, snapping him away from his thoughts.

"R-Right!" he stammered, opening the door and heading back into the classroom.

EPILOGUE

"Ugh…" an exhausted Kyoka groaned as she sat and slumped down on the couch, "I can't believe we've had to go to so many supplementary classes…" she grumbled tiredly.

"I know…" Mina agreed, seating herself down on the chair next to her, "but with everything that went on with the special universal trip we went on, I'm not surprised…" she admitted before letting out a tired yawn. Pretty much everyone was exhausted. As a result of their escapades and recent lapses in class time thanks to the trip, their teachers prepared supplementary lessons that required those who went on the trip to stay after regular school hours for more work. Whether it was hero training or studying in the classroom, everyone had to go through it. Well, almost everyone.

"You guys still up for movie night?" Denki inquired as he brought down a stack of DVDs in his hands, "I brought my favorites!" he mentioned, taking off the top DVD and showing it to his classmates.

"I'm kinda tuckered out, dude…" Eijiro admitted in reply as he slumped over on the couch, "Plus, I've got some things to do tomorrow…" he added, getting up and stretching his arms.

"Aw, come on, man!" Denki complained with a frustrated look.

"You do realize that you're one of the only ones who didn't have to take supplementary lessons, right?" Kyoka inquired sarcastically, causing him to flinch in realization. He, Mezo, Rikido, and Momo were in special classes while their classmates were off fighting with Overwatch, so they didn't need the supplementary lessons.

"Uh… sorry…" he apologized sheepishly.

"Huh… whatever…" Kyoka grumbled, getting onto her feet and going over to take half of the DVDs from his hands, "…Thanks," she uttered quietly, making him blink in surprise.

"F-For what…?" he stuttered in question, only to get his ear jabbed by her earlobe jack, "AAAAAHHHH!" he yelled out of agony.

"For saving my life, idiot!" she shouted with a blush streaking across her cheeks, "Gosh, you're such a dunderhead…" she grumbled, removing her jack with a huff and heading back to the couch.

"Jeez, Jiro…" he muttered, following her over.

"Oh, you're starting the movie night?" a voice chimed in, catching their attentions as they saw Tenya approach with Izuku, Ochaco, Raya, Rachael, and Alice in tow.

"Yeah, we're gonna put it to a vote," Denki said. After a while, the rest of the class, even Katsuki but not Natalie, was down in the lounge. The final vote had been made after twenty minutes of deliberation.

"Yaoyorozu," Shoto began to say to Momo, catching her attention, "are you still going to be free for this weekend?" he inquired. Everyone froze in shock.

"…What?" Minoru uttered with widened eyes. Momo blushed sheepishly as she placed her hands onto her reddening cheeks.

"Oh, um, of course…" she responded as she glanced off to the side in embarrassment, "It was a noodle shop you wanted me to go to, right?" she guessed, receiving a simple nod from the boy.

"WAIT, TIME OUT!" Mina suddenly screamed, getting into Momo's face as she shrieked in surprise, "Are you… and he… going out?" she asked slowly, looking deeply into the Creation Quirk user's eyes.

"U-Um…" she stammered, blushing a mad red.

"Yeah, we are," Shoto replied for her bluntly, causing everyone to give off shocked looks.

"WWWHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTT?!" Minoru screamed, falling over in astonishment.

"He… wanted to take me to one of his favorite noodle shops around where he lives…" Momo told everyone, fidgeting with her fingers, "I-It's not like… I could say no…" she stuttered, covering her scarlet face with her hands.

"Wow, that's awesome!" Mina complimented to her surprise.

"Way to go, Todoroki!" Hanta exclaimed, wrapping his arm around the Half-Cold, Half-Hot Quirk user.

"Thanks," he replied. His unchanged expression showed how unfazed he was by admitting that he had asked Momo on a date.

"You know…" Mina began, looking over curiously at Mezo, who blinked in surprise, "Hey Shoji," she continued, hopping up from her seat and going over to him, "you free this weekend?" she asked curiously with a tilt of her head. Everyone blinked in surprise. The masked teen blushed a little.

"Well… I could make myself free…" he admitted sheepishly.

"Then it's a date!" Mina declared, suddenly hugging him as he yelped in surprise. Minoru's jaw practically dropped to the floor. Two of Class 1-A's most attractive girls were now dating other guys in the classroom?! He fell to his hands and knees in defeat.

"My life is over…" he grumbled with shame, "There are only so many hotties available now…" he muttered out. Most of the guys around the room just stared at him blankly. However, Toru decided to give him a pat on the back with her right hand.

"It's okay, Mineta," she reassured, "I'm sure you'll find your dream girl someday!" she told him with a thumbs-up. He beamed happily.

"Thanks, Hagaku-!" He stopped once he noticed her sit down next to Mashirao, appearing to cuddle up to him. He fell back into his depressed state once again. Izuku chuckled. Certainly a lot of things had changed since the class' encounter with Overwatch. It seemed as if everyone had gotten closer to each other than they did before. Just then, he felt a buzz in his pocket. He reached into it and pulled out his smartphone, seeing the notification as he gasped lightly.

"Sorry guys, I gotta go…" he apologized as he got up from his seat, catching their attentions.

"What's wrong, Deku?" Ochaco asked worriedly. He chuckled nervously while rubbing the back of his head.

"Um… Mister Aizawa wanted to talk me about my conduct during the Tartarus attack…" he explained as a response, surprising her as she blinked.

"Well, it must be important," Tenya realized, "Still, I do hope the best from it, Midoriya," he added in a reassuring tone.

"Thanks, Iida," Izuku replied in gratitude before walking off. A while later, he was back in his room, sitting on his bed as he awaited his teacher. He gulped nervously. Why wouldn't he be nervous? Shota wasn't exactly one to mince words. Hell, he expected to be reprimanded for what he did during the raid on Tartarus.

'Will I get expelled for real this time?' he wondered, letting out a sigh. If he hadn't motivated everyone like he did to go and stop Talon, worse things could've happened to the members of Overwatch. But then again, many of his classmates were strongly against the idea of getting involved in such a dangerous situation since there were likely pro heroes on the scene. There then was a knock at the door.

"Uh, come in," Izuku requested. The handle turned and a figure entered the room, but to his surprise, it wasn't his teacher.

"Hi Deku," Natalie greeted as she came over to him. He blushed in surprise.

"N-Natalie?" he stuttered. She was wearing a small white dress with a thigh-high skirt, and her hair was tied into a side ponytail on her right. "Um… you look… nice…" he complimented slowly, turning a little redder.

"Hee, hee!" she giggled with pinkness in her cheeks, "My mom's picking me up to take me back home for the weekend," she told him, "We're heading out to this semi-fancy restaurant, so she thought I should wear this old thing…" she mentioned, gesturing towards the dress.

"It… really does look nice on you…" Izuku mentioned, sheepishly scratching at his cheek. He then noticed that her bandages were gone, revealing her injuries. She had a scar running across the bridge of her nose and several more along her arm. It was almost like his.

"We match now, don't we?" she suddenly inquired, having noticed his staring.

"Ah!" he yelped in panic, waving his hands frantically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare! I just-!"

"I know, I know…" Natalie repeated in understanding, cutting him off, "Jeez, you take things pretty seriously, don't you?" she inquired rhetorically. He blushed in embarrassment, looking away ashamedly. She giggled, taking a seat down right beside him on the bed. He widened his eyes in shock. She was sitting on his bed. Alone. With him. A million different thoughts raced through his mind as his entire face became as red as a tomato.

"Um… how are your injuries?" he asked, trying to change the subject.

"Not as bad as yours have been," she replied jokingly, staring up at the ceiling as she shook her legs back and forth, "My arm healed up just fine, but my nose still kinda hurts whenever I pinch it," she admitted as he looked over at her curiously.

"You really went Plus Ultra on Doomfist, didn't you?" he guessed with a grin. She laughed.

"Oh, Deku!" she exclaimed, turning and tapping her forehead against his as he yelped in surprise, "You always have to say the coolest things, don't you?" she inquired rhetorically.

"I…I didn't mean to sound cool…" he stuttered in claim, glancing off to the side for a moment. She laughed again, but then stopped. They were in very close proximity, more so than they had been at any point in their time as friends. And she had tried to do what she was about to back at Overwatch HQ. "Um… Natalie?" Izuku uttered, having noticed the sparkle in her eyes. She suddenly closed them and gently touched her lips with his. His own eyes widened, but relaxed as she released herself from him seconds later. They stared at each other in wonder. What had just happened? And then Natalie thought she may have made a mistake as her cheeks turned pink.

"Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to-!" Her words were caught by Izuku's lips, much to her shock. She never thought he'd be so bold to kiss her back, but he was doing it. And the tenderness of his lips made her moan as placed her left hand onto his right. The One For All inheritor was surprised by the softness of her lips. He wanted more, but was interjected as the door handle turned.

"AAAAHHH!" he shrieked, immediately breaking away from Natalie just as Shota entered the room. He hadn't seen the kiss, but the look on the two teens' reddening faces, he could tell something had happened.

"Dragneel, I need to speak with Midoriya for a moment," he told Natalie.

"Uh, okay," she replied nervously, getting off of the bed and heading towards the door, "Bye," she said in farewell to Izuku, leaving the room. He didn't say a word, shaking out of embarrassment.

"Huh…" Shota sighed deeply, "So you and Dragneel, huh?" he guessed, looking over at his student. His face went red instantly.

"N-N-N-NO!" he stammered in claim, "She was just…! We were just…!" he tried to say, mumbling in embarrassment as he held his head in his hands.

"Relax, Midoriya," Shota advised, causing him to perk up, "So long as it's not a distraction in the classroom, you can be in a relationship," he explained to him.

'A… distraction?' Izuku inwardly questioned, remembering that a certain couple in the classroom was almost always getting cuddly, especially nowadays.

"Anyways, I'm sure you've already guessed why I'm here," Shota noted, seating himself down in the swivel chair by the desk. The One For All Inheritor grimaced and glanced down at the floor ashamedly.

"Yes sir…" he replied, "I acted out of line and put everyone in danger…" he confessed, balling his fists, "I just… felt that if I hadn't done anything…" he kept going, "I wouldn't be living up to my dream…" he stated firmly, "To be the greatest hero…" he added as his lips trembled.

"Well…" his teacher began, "your actions probably helped saved more than just this universe," he said. Izuku instantly lifted his head up in shock. Was this… praise? "The past few weeks, we've been having to clear out the media outside school," Shota mentioned, "Most of them were here to interview you," he told his student.

"M-Me?" he stuttered, pointing to himself.

"The police released the security camera footage of the raid on Tartarus," the Erasure Quirk user explained as he stuffed his hands into his pockets, "You, Kirishima, and Eucliffe were the highlights since you took down Widowmaker and the hero killer," he told him, "More importantly, you saved more lives than you realize, Midoriya," he mentioned. Izuku's eyes widened. "If All For One had gotten out and gotten away with Talon, there'd no doubt be chaos around the multiverse," he pointed out, "Not just here," he added as he listened, "So what you did that day with everyone made all the difference," he finished, standing up from his seat, "As far as I'm concerned, you've done a good job," he confessed. The One For All inheritor stood up from his bed and smiled.

"Thank you, Mister Aizawa," he said in gratitude.

"Don't think this means you're off the hook with me," Shota noted to him seriously, narrowing his eyes, "You still haven't restored my full trust in you," he pointed out as he headed towards the door, causing the unkempt haired teen to glance away ashamedly, "But…" he kept going, letting off an uncommon grin, "I'd say I'm glad to be raising up one of the brightest young heroes," he confessed. The compliment made Izuku beam.

"I…I won't let you down again, Mister Aizawa," he declared with a grin, "I promise," he said firmly.

"Heh," Shota laughed, about to leave, "Oh, right," he grumbled, reaching into his pants pocket, "Angela wanted me to give this to you," he mentioned, pulling out a small wrapped box.

"Doctor Ziegler?" Izuku uttered in surprise before getting the box tossed to him, catching it in his hands.

"Just keep up with your schoolwork and don't let Dragneel distract you," his teacher advised bluntly before leaving, shutting the door behind him. Izuku blushed again.

'If Natalie's a distraction to me, what does that make Raya to Rachael?' he wondered. He shook his head from those thoughts and sat down in his swivel chair, moving over to his desk. Setting down the box he received, he started to rip off the wrapping paper to reveal a small note. He picked it up and read it.

Dear Izuku Midoriya,

I am happy to inform you that Overwatch has grown since our victory against Talon. We've been weeding out the organization's members from around the world, and more people are willing to join us in protecting it. Furthermore, the Petras Act was completely repealed, so we will be able to continue our activities with government oversight.

Everyone else sends their regards to you, especially Genji. I assumed he would have wanted to write this letter, but he still mourns for Hanzo. Nonetheless, we at Overwatch wish to thank you and your classmates for what you've all done for us. Not a moment goes by that we wonder what could have happened had you not rallied your class together to help us.

Thanks to you all, the multiverse is safe. And as such, we wish to honor your class with a special gift.

Before finishing the letter, Izuku reached into the box and pulled out a medallion. It was Overwatch's insignia. He flipped it over to see all of the signatures of the Overwatch agents he and his class had met. Though small, they were all there. He smiled and looked back at the letter.

Izuku, please continue to inspire and hold dear your ideals. I hope you and everyone else in your class become wonderful heroes.

Sincerely,

Angela

"Heh," Izuku chuckled, putting down the note. Now he had to go show his classmates the medallion. However, his right hand accidentally knocked down the small box. "Ah!" he yelped, seeing it strike the floor. And something else came out of it. He blinked in surprise to see the object that lied upon the ground. It had an oval shape and was the size of a smartphone. Not to mention that it had a familiar green glow. His eyes widened slightly. He reached down to pick it up, and his suspicions were immediately confirmed. In his hand was an MPG. He didn't know why it was there, but he suddenly had the impulse to press his thumb against its glowing center. A green light emitted from the device, scanning his body up and down as he flinched in surprise.

"RECONFIGURATION SCAN NOW COMPLETE," it stated in male, robotic voice, "PLEASE CONFIRM REPLACEMENT IDENTITY," it requested. For a moment, Izuku couldn't believe it. Whose MPG was this? Why was it being given to him now? One thing was for sure though. There was no way he was going to let this opportunity pass.

"Izuku Midoriya," he answered.

X

"Aaaahhh…" Katsuki yawned loudly as he sat on the couch alone. It was the night after the movie he and the rest of the class, sans Natalie and Izuku, had seen. Over the past few weeks, he barely had a moment to think back to the battle against Talon. But now he could. And all he could think about was the death of Gabriel. He remembered his grotesque face before he was shot, wondering if the experimentation done to him had caused all of that. More importantly though, he remembered who shot him. Why did Jack do it? Was it his responsibility? There were so many questions ringing in his brain.

"Katsuki?" a voice chimed in, causing him to perk up and see Alice there. She was dressed in a short sleeved jacket underneath a light blue dress, wearing sandals on her feet with her hair down and curled in waves. For a moment, Katsuki did a double take, blinking in surprise.

"Oh, hey," he greeted despondently, turning away, "You going somewhere?" he asked in a curious manner. She giggled a little.

"Back home for the night," she answered, "The guild's throwing Natalie and I an official party for us getting our provisional licenses," she explained as she placed her hand over her chest.

"Good for you…" Katsuki muttered, not caring in the slightest. She sighed and was ready to head on her way. "Uh, hey," the Explosion Quirk user said, causing her to stop and look over to see him stand up from the couch, "You know I'm… joking whenever I go all 'die' and shit… right?" he inquired somewhat nervously, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his sweatpants.

"…It's hard to tell sometimes…" Alice bluntly admitted. Katsuki gritted his teeth. It was really hard not to go off on the girl. Nevertheless, he inhaled and exhaled through his nose to calm himself down.

"When Seventy-Six killed that guy in front of me and the others…" he began, making her blink in surprise, "I didn't know what to think," he confessed, staring at the floor despondently, "Heroes are supposed to win, not kill," he noted, "At least… that's what I thought they did," he corrected, glancing off to the side.

"Sometimes heroes do have to make tough choices…" Alice responded, catching his attention as he turned to face her, "But if Seventy-Six hadn't done what he did, more people would probably be in danger, don't you think?" she inquired cleverly, causing him to blink in surprise.

"Heh," he chuckled, "Course you'd be smart about this, Allura," he noted. She blinked. Did she hear that right? He didn't call her a stripper like all the times before… but her nickname?

"Um… thank you…" she slowly said in gratitude. To her shock, he came up to her with a smirk across his face.

"You know, maybe we could grab a bite sometime if you're-"

"I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!" she suddenly shrieked, interjecting him with a reddening face.

"…Huh?" he uttered in confusion.

"Yes… I have a boyfriend…" Alice repeated as she fidgeted with her fingers, "Our relationship's a little less complicated than Natalie and Kenneth's was…" she mentioned. She then looked over to see the blank stare Katsuki was giving her. Was he in shock? "Well… um…" she stuttered, "I have to go…" she said, heading off past him. As the doors to the dorm opened and shut, the Explosion Quirk user remained frozen in disbelief. She already had a boyfriend?!

"Pfft…!" a voice snorted, snapping him away from his thoughts as he looked over towards the corner, noticing a few shadows sticking out. There, Denki and Hanta were struggling to hold in their laughter, while Eijiro had a worried look on his face.

"Oh man, Bakugo just got totally rejected!" the Tape Quirk user whispered, chuckling under his breath.

"And him being rejected by Fullbuster makes it even funnier!" Denki laughed. Eijiro sighed deeply.

"Guys, don't you feel kinda bad for him?" he asked out of concern, "I mean… I think this is the first time he's tried to really open up to anyone…" he pointed out.

"Oh come on, Kirishima…" the Electrification Quirk user muttered, peeking out of the corner, "Bakugo kinda deserves it once… in… a… while…?" he slowly finished, paling in fright.

"K-Kaminari?" Hanta stuttered in confusion.

"YOU…" Katsuki's voice growled, causing both him and Eijiro to grimace in fright. They looked out to see him looming over them with fury in his eyes. Explosions crackled over his palms. As he then chased the three throughout the lounge, barely anyone left in the dorms got any sleep.

"Thanks for the drinks!" nine of the Class 1-A girls exclaimed in gratitude to Momo, who let them take mugs of hot chocolate from a tray she had brought over. It had been a cold October day, so the ten girls were more than happy to have something warm. Raya snuggled up to Rachael in a blanket upon one of the couches, making her giggle delightedly.

"Mmm~!" Mina sounded off gleefully as she sipped her drink, "Wow, Yaomomo! This is amazing!" she complimented, causing Momo to blush sheepishly.

"Ooh, we should get some marshmallows!" Toru suggested, hopping off of her seat with the pink skinned girl to head to the kitchen.

"It sure is nice to be having a more relaxed couple of weeks after all we've gone through lately," Tsuyu admitted, placing her index finger onto her cheek.

"Yeah, with the licensing exam, the work studies, and the multiversal field trip," Ochaco began to list off, "it's nice of UA to let us catch our breath," she admitted.

"And not a moment too soon," Alice chimed in, "Before we know it, our first year will be over," she concluded with a smile.

"And we'll be one step closer to being pros!" Natalie added excitedly.

"Damn right," Kyoka agreed as she nodded. A few moments later, Mina and Toru had come back with marshmallows for the group to put into their drinks, though only a few of them did.

"Ah…" Momo sighed after finishing her hot chocolate, setting her mug down onto the coffee table, "You know, I think all of us learned a lot from our experiences with facing villains and working with pros," she pointed out, catching everyone's attention, "We may have picked up a few of our own tricks ourselves," she mentioned.

"What do you mean by that, Momo?" Toru asked curiously as she tilted her head to the side.

"Well, during our battle against Talon," the class deputy began, "Uraraka was quite quick to take action," she said. The Zero Gravity Quirk user perked up and widened her eyes. Uh oh.

"Ochaco was? How?" Tsuyu questioned. Now she and all of the others were curious. Ochaco started blushing in realization.

"When we recovered Midoriya from the warehouse…" Momo continued, blushing herself, "she thought he was dying, so she performed CPR on him…" she confessed quietly. Ochaco hid her reddening face in her hands.

"CPR…?" Mina uttered in confusion with a blink of her eyes, "Wait… you mean mouth-to-mouth?!" she exclaimed as a guess. Natalie spat out her drink like a fountain upon hearing her, while the rest of the girls had their eyes widened in surprise.

"You snuck in a kiss on Midoriya?!" Toru inquired excitedly.

"N-N-No!" Ochaco stuttered in claim, waving her arms around frantically, "It wasn't like that! I swear!" she shouted.

"You kissed Deku before I did?!" Natalie yelped loudly, catching her attention.

"No, I just said-! …Huh?" Ochaco uttered in confusion, interjecting herself. Now everyone was bug-eyed. The two girls stared at each other, contemplating what the dragon slayer had inadvertently admitted to.

"…Ah," she uttered in realization with her face turning scarlet.

"Huh…" Rachael sighed deeply, "Love can be a real pain, huh sweetie?" she inquired to her girlfriend, getting her attention.

"You said it, baby," she agreed, pecking her cheek with her lips and making her giggle again.

"AHCHOO!" Izuku sneezed loudly from the boys' bathroom.

"Goodness, Midoriya!" Tenya yelped, standing next to him by the sinks as he brushed his teeth, "Are you all right?" he asked in concern.

"Yeah…" the One For All inheritor replied as he rubbed his nose with his right index finger, "My nose just acted up for a second is all," he noted.

"Maybe someone's talking about you," Shoto chimed in.

"Todoroki, that's just superstition though…" Izuku responded. Unbeknownst to the three of them, Minoru had overhead the girls in the lounge, lying upon his hands and knees in a defeated state. Once again, he had been beaten.

"Miles, get down from there!" Itsuka Kendo screamed in demand from Class 1-B's classroom. Crawling upon the ceiling was a brown skinned teenager with black, almost afro-like hair, wearing the U.A. uniform for boys.

"Oh come on, Itsuka!" he complained, looking down at the class representative's scowl, "We got five more minutes until Mister Kan shows up," he pointed out, "Besides, you think I'd sit still after hearing what Class A went through?" he inquired rhetorically.

"Huh…" the Big Fist Quirk user sighed deeply.

"You shouldn't be surprised, Itsu," another voice chimed in, catching her attention. Sitting at a desk beside where she was standing was a brown skinned girl with messy, curly black hair as a strand of it hung loosely over her face. "That guy's as energetic as ever since we came back for the second semester…" she grumbled, blowing the loose strand of hair away from her face.

"But you gotta cut our class rep some slack, Miles," someone else said, being a light skinned boy with short black hair that had a white strand at his bangs, "She's already had trouble dealing with Laura over the first semester…" he mentioned.

"Riri and Robbie are right, Miles," Itsuka agreed as she placed her hands onto her hips, "Just come down from there and go back to your desk," she advised sternly.

"Huh…" Miles sighed, "All right, all right…" he repeated in understanding. He curled his right middle and ring fingers inwardly, unleashing a strand of what appeared to be webbing onto the ceiling, slowly lowering himself down to the floor as he positioned himself right in front of Itsuka. She didn't seem too happy.

"You brought your web shooters into class again?!" she screamed angrily in question, making him flinch for a moment.

"Hey, I wanted to just make some tweaks with them…" he claimed with a slight grin. She continued to glare at him. He let off a smirk. "You know Itsuka…" he kept going, "the offer for that upside down kiss still stands…" he flirted. She swiftly chopped his web line, making him fall to the ground head first. "OW!" he yelped in agony before falling onto his back.

"Seriously, Miles?" Itsuka grumbled with a light blush across her cheeks, "Didn't you already get that upside down kiss you wanted from someone on I-Island or whatever?" she inquired before walking off in a huff.

"Guess he wanted to try it with someone else…" Neito Monoma suggested with a small grin. His comment earned him a chop to the back of his neck from Itsuka, who sat back down at her desk.

"Can't go getting Itsu mad, Miles…" Riri muttered to her friend as he sat up from the floor, "What's got you so worked up anyway?" she asked curiously.

"The fact that one of my best friends is making all the headlines for saving the world!" he replied as he jumped to his feet, "I can't wait to see him and get the chance to show him how I've changed, too!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"Heh," Robbie chuckled from afar, "Nothing wrong with that, right?" he guessed towards the class representative, who let off a grin.

"Guess not," she responded.

All Might had just finished checking his email and was ready to turn in after a long day of work at U.A. With what had happened recently, the police had informed him of the Talon agents they recovered had sent back to be imprisoned in their own universe. There had been interrogations, investigations and the like all around the clock. He barely had time to sleep. And he hadn't spoken with his successor in so long. He pulled out his phone and checked his messages, looking at the image of Izuku's provisional license. He let off a grin. The boy he once referred to as someone who couldn't be a hero because he was quirkless, was now the epitome of a hero thanks to his actions.

'Hopefully tomorrow, I'll have enough time to speak with him…' he inwardly noted, shutting down his computer and putting his phone away.

"End of the night, All Might?" a voice guessed, causing him to perk up in surprise as blood spurted from his lips. He coughed loudly, wiping his mouth with his hand before turning around to see who was there. It was a man dressed in a navy blue suit with a red tie, having short grayish white hair with a nicely trimmed beard. The former number one hero immediately recognized him as he scowled.

"Stark," he muttered.

"Hey, why the cold shoulder?" Tony inquired, seeing him walk away from his work station, "Don't tell me that's how you're gonna treat the guy replacing you on the Omni Force…" he pointed out with a smirk.

"Ugh…" All Might groaned in realization. In the aftermath of his retirement, the Omni Force had taken his MPG and looked to find a new squadron leader. To his dismay, it turned out to be none other than Tony. "What are you doing here, Stark?" he asked out of annoyance.

"What, I can't say hi to the old man now?" the genius inventor wondered with an arched eyebrow.

"You're the one who's older…" All Might grumbled in frustration, walking ahead of the man. He was getting tired of this conversation dragging on pointlessly.

"Hey, Toshinori…" Tony began, causing him to stop, "aside from Tennyson and the others looking to replace Rose…" he continued, "…we found one of the stones," he stated, causing the former number one hero to instantly widen his eyes.

"Wh-What?!" he stuttered in surprise.

"Yeah, Paradox found out the location of one just a few hours ago," Tony told him.

"Th…That's incredible!" he replied with glee in his voice, "Where?!" he asked.

"In the past, in Shimmer's universe," the inventor replied, folding his arms over his chest.

"…Oh," All Might uttered as he blinked, "So then… Paradox will have to send us there to retrieve it?" he guessed.

"Well…" Tony began, "I had another idea…" he admitted, much to the surprise of the former number one hero as he tilted his head to the side in confusion, "I was thinking of putting a team together," he stated.

"A… team?" All Might said as he blinked, "Of who?" he questioned. Tony smirked.

Concrete walls were shattered, stained by the blood of Akande's fists. He no longer wore his war paint, nor his outfit as it was replaced by a white tank top and black sweatpants.

"Hah… hah…" he breathed out angrily. He couldn't believe that Talon's plan had failed. And what remained of the organization was only splinters that would likely be rounded up. He punched the wall again. He was frustrated. He was not strong enough. The world would not change in his favor. Wars would end, peace would be achieved. How long it lasted though mattered not to him. What mattered was… that his ambition had been crippled.

"I must admit, this is disappointing for you," a voice chimed in, catching his attention as he removed his bloodied fist from the wall. He turned around to see who it was, narrowing his eyes in contempt. His escape from the other world was nothing short of a miracle. As the police heroes scoured Tokyo for him, he was saved when a group of strangers dragged him into a red portal. One of those strangers was standing right in front of him, grinning.

"Eon…" he muttered, walking up to him, "…Why did you save my life?" he asked, looming over him menacingly. He didn't flinch.

"Conflict leads to evolution…" he mumbled under his breath loud enough for Akande to hear, "I like that ideology," he admitted, reaching into his coat, "So much so that I want you to be a part of my team," he stated, causing him to blink in surprise, "I think someone like you would make an incredible asset to us…" he mentioned, starting to pull out an object. The Talon leader grabbed his arm.

"What makes you think I would subject myself to your rule?" he questioned in angered tone, "I've lived my life fighting to give humanity the evolution it needs to thrive…" he noted, "Do you plan to take that from me?" he inquired, narrowing his eyes onto the time walker.

"Heh," Eon chuckled, taking out what he wanted to from his coat, "Then how about taking that ideology anywhere you want?" he suggested with an MPG in his hand. Akande lightly gasped and stepped back. "Without Widowmaker's MPG, you wouldn't be able to do so…" the time walker cleverly pointed out, "But if you agree to join us, then you may spread your ideology across the multiverse," he offered. The Talon leader was close to second-guessing himself. He had no knowledge of this man nor his allies, but something seemed to click. He took the MPG from Eon's hand.

"I accept your terms," he stated with a nod.

"Good…" Eon muttered with an ominous grin.

Within the drab and dusty warehouse, Tomura Shigaraki looked over the newspaper crumpled in his hands. He narrowed his eyes onto the headline and the image that followed, being that of Izuku.

"That brat…" he grumbled angrily, activating his Quirk as the paper crumbled away into dust.

"Hey Shigaraki," a voice called out, catching the League of Villains leader's attention as he turned to see Dabi approach him, "quit makin' a fuss over stupid things," he advised with his hands stuffed into his coat pockets, "We took down the Shie Hassaikai and got their Quirk-destroying formula," he pointed out, "so what the hell's the problem now?" he asked curiously.

"Well… those UA brats are still at it in the news…" Tomura muttered, folding his arms over his chest as he sat down, "but it doesn't matter…" he added in a bored tone.

"The hell's that supposed to mean?" Dabi inquired, "Weren't those Talon guys tryin' to break out your old master or whatever?" he asked.

"Even if they did succeed, it'd be pointless," Tomura retorted as an answer, "He's already made me the next ruler," he declared with a grin underneath the hand-like mask on his face.

"Sure…" Dabi muttered, rolling his eyes. Just then, there was a knock at the door. Everyone perked up.

"Hey, is that Giran?" Himiko Toga wondered, putting her hands onto her cheeks curiously.

"Perhaps a newcomer wishes to take center stage…" Mr. Compress suggested with a chuckle.

"Well, we could use someone new," Spinner muttered as he folded his arms behind his head.

"Hm…" Dabi hummed curiously, "Hey Twice, go open it up," he advised to the skintight costumed man, getting his attention.

"No way, man!" he responded, followed by… "Sure thing!" he declared with a thumbs-up, heading towards the door to open it. His bipolar attitude was certainly something. He slid open the door and widened his eyes, along with the other league members.

"Who is it?" Tomura asked, getting up from his seat. He slightly widened his eyes as well. Standing there was Amélie, dressed in a trench coat and a black scarf along with a pair of sunglasses. She removed them from her eyes, staring out at the Decay Quirk user.

"Well, this certainly is a surprise…" Compress noted as he gulped slightly.

"What the hell is someone like her doing here?" Spinner asked as sweat trickled down from his head.

"Tomura Shigaraki, correct?" Amélie inquired to the messy, light blue haired man in front of her.

"…What do you want?" he responded in question, readying his hands.

"I'm here to make you an offer…" she replied, grinning as she removed her scarf and let it fall onto the floor, "All I need in return from you is a rifle," she said.

"Hey now-"

"Wait," Tomura interjected, putting his hand out in front of Dabi, "You'll do anything I ask?" he guessed to the woman before him.

"But of course," she answered.

"Then welcome aboard…" Tomura greeted as he grinned ominously. As the heroes were growing ever stronger, so too were the villains lurking in the shadows…

"WAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" a girl screamed before crashing into the ground hard, "Ow…" she groaned in agony after a few moments, managing to sit up. She was of average height, having long, brown hair with blunt side-bangs and a side ponytail. She also had a long lock of hair on the left side of her face. She had crimson eyes, pale complexion, and displayed Asian characteristics. A broom lied by her side as she rubbed the back of her hurt head.

"Akko, are you okay?!" a voice screamed worriedly from above, catching her attention as she looked up. Floating in the air on brooms were two other girls. One was a Finnish girl with below average height. She had short orange hair and turquoise blue eyes. She had pale skin complexion, with freckles on her cheeks and nasal bridge. She wore semi-rimless eyeglasses with red frames and large, round lenses with a strong prescription that magnified her eyes. The other girl was a tall, thin person who had an image of a stereotypical witch. She had pale, grayish skin, mauve hair, and red eyes with white pupils. She seemed to come off as laid-back, with droopy, half-lidded eyes that made her look indifferent or lethargic. Her left eye was covered by a large fringe of hair. All three of them wore the same uniform, indicating that they were part of some school in the area.

"Yeah, I'm good!" Akko replied as she slowly got to her feet. It had been another failure of a day trying to fly on a broom like her fellow classmates, and she had hurt herself again, again, and again… But she was determined to keep trying in order to become a witch like her idol. She picked up her broom and looked up at the sky in wonder, smiling before running off after her friends.

Watching on from afar was an adult woman with back-length dark blue hair tied with what appeared to be bandages just before the end, forming a small ponytail over her right shoulder. She had red eyes with white pupils and fair skin complexion. She wore a dark violet hooded dress reaching up to her knees with long wide sleeves, a red flame-like design in the bottom, a single brown strap on the chest area, and the dress' inside was colored a deep red; a black choker; a dark violet witch hat with a dark blue band decorated with a red feather and a golden crescent-shaped object; dark blue knee-high boots with a deep dip and red tips; and black-framed oval glasses. She smiled at how determined the young girl was despite her struggles.

"I wonder if you'll come by to visit like you said… All Might…" she mumbled to herself, looking up at the bright blue sky.

END

And that's that. I'm glad I got this story out here and finished before its one-year anniversary. Hell, I'm getting close to reaching the anniversary of when I first started FanFiction. But anyways, it's time for a few notes on the chapter!

First off, Izuku's an Omni Force member! The MPG given to him was Widowmaker's, so that means he's a part of All Might's squadron. Well, Tony Stark's squadron now.

Next, we have the love triangle between Izuku, Ochaco, and Natalie. In the canon, I fully love Izuku and Ochaco getting together, but here, I'm leaning more towards him and my OC. I've been thinking of some really heartfelt scenes between these three. Let me know if you'd like to see them.

Now we have Miles Morales, Riri Williams, and Robbie Reyes as a part of the Omni Force lore in the MHA universe as members of Class 1-B. For those who've been keeping up with my forum, I've been writing an AU featuring Miles in place of Minoru Mineta. I'll explain more later on, but I can safely say that this isn't the last you'll see of Miles or any of the crossover characters you read about here.

Lastly, we have a nod to Little Witch Academia! Will Akko and her friends become Omni Force members in the future?!

I'm sure you've all got questions, so don't be afraid to ask! Until next time, see ya!
