Chapter 26: Hero Life

There is a attempted rape scene in this chapter. If you want to skip that it is labeled as Ruby's POV, Flashback and ends at Flashback End.

_Izuku's POV_

"So, how did your missions go today?" Izuku asked the two women.

"Mine went fine, took out two high end Nomus and a guy who looked like the villain from The Crow." Ruby explained.

"I got some good pictures of the fight and fought two guys that looked like the villains from a b-rated kids show." Velvet replied.

"Sounds interesting." Izuku responded.

"What did you do?" Ruby asked.

"I had to investigate some bloke who at first we thought murdered his family in their sleep than shot himself in the head. Turns out he set up a generator so his family could be warm until he could afford to pay his electric bill and he forgot about the fact that generators release carbon monoxide and I think you can figure out what happened." Izuku explained to his girlfriends of two and three years.

"Still can't believe you went and got your detectives license alongside a hero license." Velvet replied.

"It does help his work sometimes." Ruby pointed out.

"Not the weirdest thing we've seen happen." Izuku began, "Remember how Bakugo got his hero license?"

_Ruby's POV, Flashback_

"Ok, went and saw my parents, got the scar removing cream for Izuku and some apple flavored stuff for Eri. Now to get back to the dorms." Ruby said to herself while walking back to the dorms, not noticing the shadow looming behind her.

"You know you shouldn't be wandering alone in a place like this." A very familiar and sinister voice said from behind her, "A lot of bad people out at this time of night."

"What are you even doing following me?" Ruby asked the purple midget.

"Just hear to get a little revenge on you and that quirkless bastard you call a boyfriend." Mineta said before grabbing her and roughly dragging her to a dark alleyway and sticking her to a wall using his quirk.

"Whatever you're doing please stop." Ruby pleaded tearfully, "Just let me go please, we can just forget this whole thing even happened."

"Too late for that." Mineta said while removing the girl's panties from below her skirt, "I'm going to ruin you for him."

That was as far as Mineta went before he was knocked out with an explosion to the back of the head.

"You okay?" the mysterious stranger asked, causing Ruby to open her eyes at the new voice.

"Bakugo?" Ruby asked while trying and failing to get loose from the wall, "Why did you save me?"

"Isn't that what heroes do?" Bakugo asked while pulling out a bottle of glue loosener, "Save those in need while taking down the villains."

"They do but you weren't the most heroic during our last few encounters." Ruby replied while Bakugo was pouring the glue loosener on the purple spheres holding her to the wall.

"Let's just say that after the things I've been through, I realized I was not the most heroic person around." Bakugo explained while pulling her hands from the wall, "It made me hate myself. That and your boyfriend pulling me out of Hell after I blew his leg off really put things in perspective."

"Sounds like you've had a lot to think about." Ruby replied while pulling her panties back up, "So does that mean you're going to try and be a hero again?"

"I doubt anyone would let me do that." Bakugo responded while hogtying Mineta and dragging him to a street side, "After what I've done."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." a familiar voice said to the two.

"Aizawa?" Ruby asked while Bakugo was staking out the nearest exit.

"I heard an explosion and some girlish screams and as soon as I saw what Bakugo was tying up, I had to stop and assess the situation." Aizawa explained.

"And?" Bakugo asked, prepared to run if he had to.

"You're not completely irredeemable." Aizawa replied, "However UA won't take you back but Shiketsu might be willing to accept you if you can prove you've been thoroughly rehabilitated."

"And if I don't accept this?" Bakugo asked.

"Then it's back to prison for you." Aizawa replied.

"Shiketsu it is then." Bakugo answered, "I've already been to hell once and while prison is not as bad it's pretty close."

"Come with me while I run this one in." Aizawa said while picking up the tied up Mineta.

_Flashback End_

"And that is why I let Bakugo be my partner after graduating." Izuku pointed out, "I still wish i had gone with you that day."

"How could you have known Mineta was planning to rape me that night?" Ruby began, "Besides, Bakugo was able to save my ass that day."

"Although he could have chosen a better hero name." Velvet began, "I mean, Ground Zero sounds much better than Explosion King."

"Changing the subject, hows Eri doing tonight?" Izuku asked.

"She's with my parents this weekend." Ruby informed him, "She really enjoys spending the weekends with her grandparents."

"On all three sides." Velvet reminded them.

"And sadly your parents can only see her a few times a year." Izuku began, "Maybe next summer we can take her to Australia and spend like two weeks there.

"That sounds nice." Ruby replied, "But we might want to do that during spring cause that's Australia's fall."

"Right cause there below the southern hemisphere." Izuku said before asking, "So what do you two want to do tonight?"

"We can always order food and watch that tiger documentary you're obsessed with." Velvet suggested.

"What is with you and that Tiger King documentary?" Ruby asked with a raised eyebrow.

"All the people involved are terrible and there's tigers." Izuku began, "it's like a trainwreck. You just can't look away."

"I still think that chick killed her husband." Velvet replied.

"I was more shocked at the truck of expired Walmart meat." Izuku pointed out.

"I don't understand you two sometimes." Ruby replied in an exasperated tone.

"You know you love us and we love you." Izuku teased before going to his bedroom to get out of his hero suit.

_Villain POV_

"Ok we're clear on the plan." All for One began.

"We kidnap the girl in the morning and lead Midoriya on a wild goose chase while leaving false evidence incriminating him in her kidnapping" Papa Midnite explained.

"His career will be ruined and we will have our revenge." All for One replied.

Authors Note: So two years past since the I-Island incident and Velvet is now in a polynamourous relationship with Izuku and Ruby. Just an fyi Ruby's 20 year old self and hero suit is essentially her appearance in volume 7 while Izuku's physical appearance looks like Hillel Slovak in the Fight Like A Brave video and his hero suit looks like John Constantine's Mucous Membrane costume (black muscle shirt with a red pentagram on the front, black baggy pants and black motorcycle boots) The next arc is based on the David Cage game Heavy Rain.
