Sorry for the super long absence, I have been to consumed by Fire Emblem Three houses (Amazing game so far. Oh and Golden Deer for the win.) and have been neglecting my writing. That and my job, got a promotion so it's been a little stressful dealing with all of that. I promise that I shouldn't be so long without updates from now on. I do hope you enjoy this chapter.

The fluorescent lights shone brightly in the interrogation room, Momo opened her eyes when the door behind her opened. She didn't bother check who had come to talk to her this time. A serious looking man took the sat across from her placing some folders in front of them and sliding over a mug of coffee as the steam drifted from it she looked at the man who nodded in return. Gingerly she picked the cup up and sipped at it, she resisted the urge to gag as the bitter taste of black coffee invaded her tastebuds.

"Mrs. Yaoyorozu, my name is detective Naomasa. I came to talk, would that be okay?" He didn't look up from the papers he was shuffling in front of him, Momo knew better than to answer she had no choice in the matter. "Alright, I'll take your silence as a yes. It says here that you entered Yuuei by recommendation a top scoring student and a very promising outlook for a career in any form of heroism you choose to follow. That being said, why is it that you threw it all away?" He pinned her with a hard gaze, Momo simply stared back, he didn't scare her, none of this did.

"I have my reasons for what I've done and I don't need to share them with anyone." Naomasa nodded and looked down at a notepad in front of him.

"Well, we can link you with a multiple of incident's at Yuuei, such as the attack on your class now known as the USJ attack, were you responsible for that? Did you help the the League with it?" Momo rolled her eyes, they would keep at this until they wore her down. It wouldn't yield any results but they didn't have any other options.

"Stop wasting your breath, if you want information on the League from me then I'll just save you sometime. Give me a pen and that notepad and I'll write down the known addresses where I was with them. I won't give anymore than that." She grabbed the mug of coffee and sipped at it more, Naomasa stared at her for some time before sliding the pen and pad over. Momo downed the coffee ignoring the scathing heat and picked the pen up, she wrote the promised information down already knowing that it was useless, the League was long gone from these places, all assets had been scrubbed and the members scattered to the wind. "There, now can you stick me in a cell or something I would like to get some sleep." Naomasa read the list giving a signal with his hand, four armed guards stepped cuffs at the ready.

"Place her in one of the holding cells, I want it watched at all times, this will be enough for now, the night is stilled young if we move fast enough we can take the League by surprise. Mrs. Yaoyorozu has a long day ahead of her, her parents have already called a thousand times demanding her release, I'm sure you'll get a visit from them first thing in the morning... But that's what you want isn't it." Naomasa moved in close and slapped the cuffs on whispereing the last part so only they could hear. Momo looked at him with joy as a smile spread on her face.

"Of course I can't wait to see my wonderful parents." Naomasa ignored her as the guards began to move her, Momo kept her face neutral as they moved through the halls, her mind somewhere else. She knew that she was caught and her families money could do nothing, She was shocked to hear parents still wanted to help her... No they wanted to save their image is all, but that was over by in a few hours time all of Japan would know of her deeds and her parents will be ruined. Then she would bide her time, after all she was the smartest person in this building, the simple minded plans wouldn't hold her, she will have an opening and when she did get it she would break free. Then their would be nothing stopping her from destroying Izuku Midoriya. Her mind began to swirl with rage at the thought of the quirkless student, the so called genius had made a fool of her, he thought he was better than her, she would show him and the rest of the so called heroes in training. She would have her revenge on them all, but this time she wouldn't fall into her faults, no she now saw the error of her ways and she would not make the same mistake. no she would show Izuku who truly was the better.

Izuku let out a small yawn as he waited behind the curtain, Power loader to his right who was also dressed up in full suit, his hair combed to the side. Izuku grabbed at his own tie and and adjusted it. "Long night huh?" His teacher asked as Izuku forced down another yawn, he nodded in response. "Let me guess, Mei" they both said the pink haired hurricanes name and let out a small chuckle.

"Yeah she wanted to get caught up on making babies, said I'd been holding out on her by coming up with so many and not telling her about them." Power Loader smiled as Izuku began recounting the list of inventions she had wanted to create in that night alone. He put a hand on Izuku's shoulder and nodded.

"Yeah, she is more than happy that your back, I heard she had taken your room for her own." Izuku cringed at the memory of picking up dirty laundry from both his friends in the early light of the morning. Power Loader chuckled but dropped his smile, as a TV screen showed yet another picture of a crazed Yaoyorozu being forced into the back of the police van, this angle gave them a clear look at her face. The dark voids that were her eyes held nothing but insanity the longer you looked into them.

"I truly hope she gets the helps she needs. You would think I hate her for trying to kill me, but I can't if anything I find her to be sad." Power Loader gave him a look of surprise, his eyes holding a question. "I mean, I know what it feels like to be alone, it does things to you, drives you to do things that you would never have done if you were in your right mind. Thankfully I had Bakugo and Mei their for me, if not for them who knows how I would have turned out...if I would even be here." Just as Power Loader opened his mouth to say something Aizawa walked back stage and looked at them both.

"It's show time, hope you two are ready the press are hungry for answers." Izuku nodded and stepped forward, Power Loader close behind, they stepped out on the stage as a sea of people shouted questions at them and camera flashes went off constantly. Iuzku took a seat to the left of Nezu as Power Loader took one to the right. Izuku kept his face blank as he stared out over the sea of reporters.

"Alright, I do want to keep this short for my student, it is his day off of school and he should be resting, so as most of you might remember this familiar face. This young man right here is Izuku Midoriya he was the top contestant in the Yuuei sports festival, he was also the one to be blown up on live television. What the school kept hidden was that this student was working alongside the staff members to lure out a spy, the explosion and rushing to the hospital was all part of the plan. A plan which Mr. Midoriya and the Yuuei staff set into motion, as most of you have seen or have reported on, one Momo Yaoyorozu was taken into police custody alongside the other villains from last nights attack on the hospital. She was found to be one leaking information to a group that calls themselves the League of Villains." The room had turned from the calm before the storm to a maelstrom of sound. All the guests in attendance had began to try and speak over one another shouting questions, others accusations. Nezu stared no hint of annoyance on his face, the patience of one that has done this countless times. Aizawa on the other hand looked ready to strangle someone as the noise began to reach a fever pitch. Izuku tapped on Nezu's shoulder, they exchanged a glance and Nezu nodded. "You got this." He gave the boy a thumbs up alongside the encouraging words, Izuku cleared his throat and stood. The room soon began to calm down as the reporters all looked towards him, cameras flashing and thousands of eyes stared straight back at him. Izuku closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"A lot of news has been following my school, almost all of it negative since this new year started. It was unheard to have things like this happen, An attack on the students during a school trip, a breach of security by a mob of press, even the news about myself. I was in an explosion on national television and in front of hundreds of pro heroes. It painted Yuuei in a bad light, many people had doubts and others outright admonishing the school for it's carelessness. What I did certainly did't help Yuuei's look, but I and the staff didn't care about the look of the school. What we were thinking in that moment was how we finally had a chance to bring those that put the students in harms way to justice. I was at the USJ attack, none of you were there, I was by two students side fighting for our lives, one of those students was Yaoyorozu herself, she gave the villains the information they needed to ambush us there, she was working alongside them while we feared for our lives. On the other side of the enclosure Aizawa sensei was as far as he knew dying for us, he did not hesitate to rush into impossible odds with no clue if back up was coming. He was prepared to die for his class. I have heard and seen sentiments online that "Yuuei doesn't care, Yuuei is risking the lives of children for funding, Yuuei is a disgrace." I stand here today a proud student of Yuuei! There is no establishment willing to go as far as they do, they put the students before everything else. I couldn't be happier to be in their support course, the school has taught me a lot and shown me that power isn't what makes us. It's our choices. I have been given the best chance I could have ever gotten, I don't have a quirk of my own, but because of this school I am able to be a hero in my own way." Izuku turned to his teachers and bowed yelling a thank you. As he did the room burst into a cacophony of voices. Izuku looked at Nezu who nodded and gave him a warm smile. Izuku walked off stage, disappearing behind the curtain. Once he was out of sight he let his nerves show as he began shaking, taking unsteady steps he made his way to the bathroom and began to heave up breakfast.

Well great now I've done it, I didn't stick to the topic at all, I probably made things worse. Izuku felt a second surge of puke coming as negative thoughts swirled around his head. He just wanted to go home and invent. At least I spoke my mind. With the single good thought he splashed cold water on his face and forced his nerves down. The day was far from over, his hand slid down to his jacket pocket, where the transfer papers seemed to burn. He did speak his mind, but a part of him still wondered if he would be even happier if he moved to the hero course. He sighed as images of him and Mei working together in the workshop popped into his head. Izuku pushed the thoughts away, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey Bakugo, you busy? I decided this news thing was a drag, wanna hang?" His laughed sounded weak even to himself. Thankfully his friend made no comment on it and agreed to meet him at an arcade. "Sweet! I'll see you there."

Bakugo sat stood Behind Izuku as his friend danced away at a rhythm game. Bakugo smirked as he watched his friend, had you asked Izuku what his talents were he'd only tell you about his inventing, had you asked Bakugo he would have told you about all of the hidden talents his friend had dancing being among one of them. Bakugo watched as his friend smashed his old highscore and continued to climb further as the song kept going at a breakneck pace. Bakugo frowned, friend? He didn't have the right to call Izuku a friend, he was the last person Izuku should have chosen to spend his time with, yet here he was. Bakugo clenched his eyes shut as the memories flooded back to him again. The school hallway, abusing the one person who never got mad at him, who apologized to him for something he had no control of. Then the roof... then... Bakugo flinched as pain stung his forehead. His eyes focused in on Izuku standing before him, a lopsided grin on his face. "Did you just poke me with a fucking pen Izuku?" He growled as he rubbed at his forehead, Izuku's grin only widened as he put the pen back into his pocket.

"I did as a matter of fact. Since you were off in your own head. Actually turning into a full fledged blonde?" The mocking tone he took mimicked his own from before they had became friends. Bakugo chuckled weakly and halfheartedly punched the quirkless boy's shoulder. Izuku noticed but choose not to comment on it, Bakugo was thankful for it. "How about we get some lunch?" Izuku offered, Bakugo smiled and nodded who was he to turn down food. The pair exited the arcade and walked in silence wandering aimlessly in search of something to fill their stomachs. Bakugo noted the looks they were getting, no doubt having seen Izuku's outburst online. His friend simply ignored them as he walked past, Bakugo noticed most of the attention was positive yet his friend still turned a blind eye to everyone else.

I have no right to be your friend, maybe now that you're coming out of your shell you'll ditch me or tell me off. Bakugo hid his frown as he felt a lump form in his throat.

Izuku tried to ignore the papers in his pocket, he tried to take his mind off the offer, off of Mei, he was trying and failing. Why did he want to say no? It wasn't like he'd never her see her again. They would still go to the same school, they would still be friends. An odd feeling welled up inside his chest as the word friend popped up. Was it his attraction to her? Did he like Mei? Did Mei even see him as a guy? Did Mei even see gender? Both boys continued on passing by countless options to eat at. Neither boy being able to break from the prison of their minds. Finally Izuku stopped, as he looked up, did his body take him here without him even thinking. Bakugo stared in confusion as a mixture of emotions warred on Izuku's face.

"Deku? You okay, hello earth to Izuku, what's going on... Hey!" Bakugo shouted as Izuku dashed past him and into empty looking building in front of them. Fear struck him as he traced where his friend had been staring. "Deku! Deku! What're you doing!" He screamed, fear laced all throughout his voice. Bakugo screamed in frustration as memories of the roof, of the jump and fall. He pushed his legs as hard as he could as he chased Izuku to the roof.

Mei sat in her room unusually quiet as she stared into the wall. Ichika stepped fully into the room already used to the smell of oil and made her way over to her daughter. Mei seemingly broken from a spell jumped in surprise as her mother took a seat on her bed. "Mom, sorry didn't hear you come in... or see you I guess." Ichika chuckled as she pushed her daughters wild mess that barely passed for hair back.

"Mei, why don't you tell me what's on your mind?" Mei sighed and leaned into her mom.

"It's Izuku, something has changed between us, well for me at least. I can't even wrap my head around it. It's like I just realized he was well a he. It's sounds nuts." She mumbled the last bit, blush creeping into her face, Ichika smiled as she saw a new side to her baby girl, she hugged her tightly and rested her head atop of hers.

"Dear, I gave birth to you, 90% of what you say is nuts, you're an inventor so it makes sense in it's own backwards way. As for Izuku, have you considered the possibility that you like him?" Mei didn't say anything, she didn't have to the heat coming off her face was enough of an answer, "So you have. Then I don't see what's gotten you so, weird. This is the headstrong no means yes girl I raised." Ichika cupped her daughter's face in her hands and stared into her scope like eyes.

"Well, I just don't get why I started to like him all of a sudden it's out of the blue! It doesn't make...Ew!" Mei pushed away from her mother as her mother blew a raspberry and began laughing. Mei frowned, heat making her already red face even more red. "What?" She growled at her, Ichika held her sides and tried to calm down, it took some time before she was able to bring herself back.

"Mei, that is possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard come out of your mouth. Are you really that dense in the head?" Mei didn't respond only pouted as she glared at her mom. Ichika nodded. "Guess you really are that dense. Well let me lay it out for you. Ever since the day you paired up with Izuku in class, you came home and talked more about him than the babies that you made together. You always woud go on about how he never once would get impatient with you or even mad. You would gush about how he was so smart and loved making babies as much as you do, Izuku has been the number one topic you talk about in this house. I have to tell you, for a smart girl you are dumb at emotions, I knew from then that you liked him, you just didn't realize it yourself, you fell for someone just as bright and passionate as you, someone you had things in common with, in fact he's probably the only person to truly understand you. As for seeing him as a guy, well that just means you finally realized it." Mei, sat quietly as she stared down at the plain grey hoodie she was wearing, it was Izuku's only the dork would get a hoodie that said hoodie across it. Mei thought back to all the time she had spent with Izuku, how she was happier than she ever was, to finally have someone to share her love baby making with. All the laughs and break through's they had together. A deep smile spread across her face, she hugged her mom.

"I like Izuku." she screamed into her chest. Ichika smiled at the revelation that daughter finally came to. It was about time if you asked her. "Thanks mom, what would I do without you!?"

"Probably end up in prison." Her mother squealed as a pillow was swung at her head. The pair burst into laughter as they wrestled each other for the weapon.

"Deku!" Bakugo burst through the door and stood atop a square roof with railing all around it. Izuku stood leaning on the railing staring up into the after sky, the sun began to dip over the horizon drenching everything a deep orange. Bakugo doubled over catching his breath the adrenaline finally leaving his body. "What the fuck Deku, you gave me a heart attack, I thought... I thought."

"You thought I was going to jump again, try and end it all again." Bakugo looked up but Izuku's gaze was firmly planted on the sunset. "Bakugo I think I know what I have to do, I have been holding on to this dream of being a pro hero, but that isn't me anymore. I love making invention, I love tinkering with something to til I figure it out, The me that wanted to follow in All Might's footsteps died when I jumped off the roof of the school. Even so I still held on to the dream, unable to get the itch out of my head. Today at the press release I spoke from my heart and didn't want to be a pro, I wanted to keep on doing what I'm doing now. Honestly I think the thing holding me back really is myself, I haven't addressed the problems directly. The reasons I became the way I am. So that's what I'm doing now." He pushed off the railing and tossed his suit jacket to the side. "Let's air out our hearts, get everything out in the open. Kacchan, fight me."

Izuku challenges Bakugo to a fight, oh my. Mei with the help of her super mom has come to realize her feelings, not that she hadn't already Mei is just... dumb when it comes to people and feelings, at least that's how I view her. I hope it doesn't feel rushed, I don't feel that way but let me know your thoughts on it. Izuku and Bakugo... Boy do these two have history, now it may have seemed like all was great between them, I mean they act like brothers but they never talked about what happened, which now has been revealed as Izuku making an attempt on his life. Hopefully that doesn't come out of left field, Bakugo carries a lot of guilt and feels as though he is responsible for what happened to Izuku which in fairness, he is. Not fully but he was a big part of Izuku's torment and that couldn't just vanish so sooner or later it had to be brought up, but that's enough rambling from me, hoped you enjoyed the chapter as much as I enjoy writing them for you all. Until next time.
