A few hours later,
On way back to the base,
Afternoon...

Third Person's POV

"I have so much fun today! Thanks for coming along, Toya!" Izuku smiled at the blonde man in pure happiness, her hands held various colours of paper bags. Toya just responded with a light nod. His heart was internally screaming in joy though. This was like a date more than a mission!

Note: Toya still has a crush on Izuku.

The two chatted for a while as they walked back to the hideout. "How is... Your baby doing?" Toya asked in awkwardness. He was purely curious about her condition, considering that she was pregnant now. He had always had an innocent interest in children. To be exact, he loved children and infants. Sometimes he felt bad for Eri since she had to go through those painful procedures.

"Wait... Can we have a seat on that bench? I need to catch my breath..." Izuku stated, sighing in exhaustion. The yellow-haired male hurriedly nodded. He saw a bench and gestured Izuku to sit first.

Izuku and Toya placed the paperbags on Toya's side. The young girl rubbed her slightly swollen belly. The bump was visibled, if she didn't wear baggy clothing. Strange. It was only two months since her pregnancy and her baby bump was already visibled and this big?

"Mm, I'm fine. Just daily morning sickness and craving......" Her voice paused there, her shiny emerald eyes fixed on a crepé stand. She then turned her head back to Toya, puppy eyes on display.

Toya started sweating bullets. "You want the crepé?" He asked, pointing to the crepé stand on the other side of the road. Izuku shyly nodded her head. "Can you... Buy some for me? You can buy for yourself too if you want." She hesitantly asked, hopefulness evident in her voice though. She really, really wanted that crepé, but at the same time, she didn't want to trouble Toya.

Toya hummed, a smile spread on his face. "I will go and buy some for you." He stood up from the bench. "Stay here, okay? Don't go anywhere. I will be back as soon as possible." He reminded before walking away to the crepé stand.

Izuku just patiently waited for him. There were about five or six people ordering so it might take longer than they predicted.

The greenette was scrolling through her social media, without realizing a pair of blue eyes were watching her from afar. Shock was written on his face. And certainly, he wasn't alone.

Silently, the man wearing hero costume approached her closer. Izuku saw someone standing before her but didn't bother to look up. "Hey, Midoriya! Long time no see, right?" The figure spoke up cheerfully.

*thud*

A loud thud rang when Izuku's phone fell on the concrete ground. Scaredly, she looked up to the voice's owner. How shocked she was to see Mirio in front of her, smiling widely!

"To-Togata-senpai?" The female stammered, her eyes went wide instantly. Sweats began trickling on the side of her face. Mirio was still cool, the smile on his face never disappeared. "Woah, I can't believe I will meet you here!" He said playfully, taking a seat next to her.

Izuku shuddered, her body was trembling. Luckily, her nervousness was unnoticeable. "What are you doing here by yourself, Midoriya? Shouldn't you be at school right now?" Mirio asked, looking innocent.

Izuku gripped her skirt firmly. " I should be asking the same question to you, Senpai. What are you doing here?" She tried to change the topic. "I'm here for work study!" The third-year senior exclaimed energetically.

"O-oh, I see.." Izuku didn't know how to react. She averted her gaze from meeting his. There was a high level of awkwardness between them.

'This is bad. This is bad. Why Togata-senpai has to be here? If he finds out the fact I'm with Shie Hassaikai, Kai and the others will be in danger–'

"Midoriya, what is wrong? You are sweating a lot." Mirio interrupted her thoughts, causing her to act all frantic and panic. Izuku immediately got up from the bench. "I-I-I'm fine, Senpai. I need to take my leave now. See you again." She bowed down to him and quickly walked away from her upperclassman.

But her forearm was suddenly gripped by Mirio. "Wait, Midoriya." His voice was husky and full of seriousness, sending shivers down to her spines. "I'm serious. What in the world are you doing here?" He asked again, but much more firmly.

Gulping down saliva, Izuku tried to retract her arm from him. "I-I'm here to go shopping. I'm done with it now so I'm going back home–"

"Eraser Head told me...you hadn't come to school since the training camp because of mysterious illness. Is that true?" Mirio never planned to let go of her soon. He eventually found her after such many attempts trying to get her back.

Izuku gritted her teeth in worry. "T-that is true... Then, can you please let me go now, I really need to go back..."

"To where? Your house is in Musatafu, right? Not here." Mirio stated calmly, trying to provoke Izuku. And the instant the girl heard that, she gasped.

"Midoriya, who encourage you to lie? You aren't like this at all when we first met. You are a strong girl with the heart of true hero... For you to skip school... This isn't like you at all." Mirio pulled her closer to him, gripping both her small shoulders gently.

"Tell me the truth, Midoriya. Who forced you to do this?" The blondie hero had a concern look on his face.

"No one forced me. I did this with my own willingness." Izuku retorted lowly.

"So is that why you are willing to carry Chisaki's protegé? You actually developed romantic feelings for him?"

His question this time, caught Izuku off guard. She stared at him in horror. How did he know she was pregnant?

But at the same time, Izuku was enraged. How dare he called this baby Kai's protegé! Kai never viewed the baby as his protegé, but as his child. A precious child of his to be raised properly, and showered with lots of affections.

Harshly, Izuku shoved Mirio away. "What are you saying?! I'm not carrying his protegé, I'm carrying his child! The child whom he loves with his heart! How dare you address our child like that..." Izuku held her stomach protectively. She got goosebumps all over her body.

'I need to leave quick. I can't bear his presence anymore.' Izuku thought, gritting her teeth.

"I'm sorry to say this but it is the truth, Midoriya. Why do you think he impregnates you? There is only one reason. He wants you to carry his protegé, the one who will continue his legacy in the future." Mirio stated firmly.

You are wrong...

"Snap back into reality, Midoriya! Why can't you see the light?!"

I don't want to hear it...

"Chisaki had corrupted you with his honeyed word. You were tricked all this time!"

Stop it already...!!!

"Villains only view women as their plaything or protegé carrier! Word such as 'love' and 'affection' never exist in their lives!!!"

STOP IT!!!

Izuku held her head, tears seeping from her eyes. She didn't want to believe him. She didn't want to. But his words sting her heart like venom.

'Is this the truth? Did Kai only see me as a mere plaything? Someone he just wanted to toy with?'

"Come back to heroes, Midoriya... Staying with him will only ruin your life..."

Mirio reached out his hand to Izuku to hold her...

But he didn't make it in time.

Nemoto appeared out of nowhere and shot the hero with the Quirk-Destroying Bullet. The yakuza held Izuku and pulled her close his body protectively. "Stay away from Young Lady, society trash." He warned huskily.

Izuku looked up to Nemoto with her teary eyes. He wasn't wearing his plague mask and bowler hat. He had his glasses on and blonde hair revealed.

Nemoto was aiming his glock at Mirio. Mirio was about to attack him, but his Quirk couldn't be activated.

(Okay, I don't know what is in Nemoto's glock- I don't really remember, that's why. So if I'm wrong, sorry. ;-;)

Toya rushed over to the scene, standing next to Nemoto. Nemoto gently pushed Izuku toward Toya. She hugged Toya, eyes fixed on Mirio.

"Sorry to say this, but our Young Lady here is our boss' precious fiancee. Please screw off and never show your face in front of her again. Can you see you are traumatizing her?" Nemoto said harshly.

"I won't! I will get her back from you–"

"No, stop it already! Stay away from me!!!!!!" Izuku yelled at Mirio.

'I want to go back to the base! I want to see Kai!'

When the thought rang in her mind, mysterious light emitted from her, blinding Mirio's eyes. "What–"

After a few seconds, the hero opened his eyes back...

But the three were nowhere to be seen.
