Deku stared at her with a hurt expression, he didn't want to fight her but he knew that she wanted to fight him. She was fierce, violent and brash plus loved fighting... yet at the same time, she was loving, soft and loved physical contact and affection and had a soft side she only showed those she completely trusted.

"LET'S GET THIS FIGHT STARTED!!!" She yelled as the ground under her cracked and she shot forward, spinning her body to get more force for her kick.

Seeing the attack coming, Deku ducked under it and jumped backwards to gain some distance from her.

Seeing this, she shot off again and went for another kick but Deku recognized this attack and moved in while lifting his arm and grabbing her thigh to stop her strike. At the same time he said a quick apology and drove his knee right into her gut with 10%.

Miruko coughed up saliva and was completely caught off guard, no one has ever moved in on one of her attacks.

"It's almost like he knew my attack.." she thought while catching her breath "LUNA RING!".

Using her incredible leg strength, she kicked her leg and spun her body but Deku dodged it again and used a quick Delaware smash to negate her attack.

After she used that attack, she blasted towards him and did a axe kick which he blocked and countered with a jab to her stomach. The jab shot her off of him but he had to quickly duck from her grabbing a pole and using it launch her self back at him.

Deku did a 15% Detroit Smash which Miruko dodged and launched at him. Izuku raised his hands to block the attack but Miruko changed direction mid air and kicked him in the head.

Deku stumbled back and was met with Mirukos foot smashing into his face again and launching him across the city block where he smacked into a light pole. He slowly stood up and watched as she was rocketing towards him while bouncing off the buildings.

Deku lifted his leg up with green and black Lightning arching around him "KANSAS SMASH!!!" Screamed Deku as he brought it down on the ground and lifted the road up creating a wall. Deku used this to his advantage and sprung up and surprised Miruko with a Detroit smash to her stomach as she cleared the wall. Miruko was launched up in the air and couldn't help but smile at seeing her opponent give her such a good fight.

Shooting at each other again they both swung out their legs which collided and shook the bones inside then from the sheer force of the kick.

"Kaguya Crescent!" Miruko said twisting her hips to get as much torque as she could to kick him.

Deku powered up to 18% and countered the strike with his own and both of them were shot in opposite directions and landed painfully on the ground.

Around them civilians were screaming and running away, but some stayed and started to record the fight.

Deku and Miruko then raced towards each other and blocked each other with powerful high kicks.

Miruko over powered him and quickly jumped up in the air and did a spinning backwards kick.

Deku brought his arm up and blocked as he was sent flying, he quickly kicked the air which stopped him mid air, before he kicked his other leg and shot forward.

He then bounded towards her and threw a punch which she caught but winced slightly by the force behind it.

Deku then kneed her in the gut while she punched him with her free arm In the face. They both continued this brutal beating before Deku let go of her and kicked her away.

Miruko skidded across the ground before she came to a stop and kicked a car at Deku.

The car hit Deku who caught it and planted his foot into the ground and threw the car at her.

Miruko saw this and quickly dodged the car and landed on the side of the building holding onto the ledge with her left arm

She looked at him and couldn't stop the smile from forming on her face "your getting really good, I've never had a fight this fun before!".

Deku looked at her and spoke "Miruko please stop this I don't want to keep hurting you" he said.

Miruko heard this and was about to say something when a foggy memory came to her.

"I love you Rumi" said Izuku kissing the crown of her head.

Rumi smiled at that and hugged him tightly, snuggling her face in his chest "I love you too".

Miruko shook her head and wondered why that image came to her, it wasn't mind control since all the top heroes are taught to recognize mind control giving how popular and powerful they are.

Not only that but... she felt the raw emotions.. happiness, joy... love...

She looked back up at him with confused why she was feelings these things or seeing those images.

Little did she know was that she wasn't the only one, those who cared for him as a friend or loved ones were getting small glimpses of different images of their lives or some who cared more deeply for him, images of love that felt more like memories and raw emotions.

"Your combat quirk didn't say anything about putting images into peoples heads" she said looking at him.

Deku raised a eyebrow at that "it doesn't and I have no idea what your talking about".

"Doesn't matter, I'll beat you and take you in" she said before shooting off towards him.

Seeing her coming he raised his arms up in a x and tanked the axe kick that came at him, he then grabbed her leg and lifted her off the ground before throwing her towards a different building.

Flying off, she swung her legs and regained her balance so she was able to land feet first on the abandoned building wall. Looking up she was met with Deku tackling her through the said wall since he wanted to restrain her long enough that she wouldn't be able to catch him.

Smashing through the building, Miruko swung her leg and smashed it into Dekus side. But right after that another image entered her mind.

"So Izuku... after the war how many kids do you want?" Rumi said with a healthy blush as she played with her growing hair.

Deku moved in and spun his body and his foot barely missed her head, the blow though destroyed two rooms of the building.

Miruko gritted her death and went in for a grapple, by blocking a punch by him and swining her body over. She then wrapped her feet around his neck and swung all of her body weight down to the ground to take him off balance.

Feeling this Deku did what seemed to be a backflip while making sure he had a death like grip on Mirukos legs for his new strategy to work correctly.

Once his fit hit the ground, he changed the grip on her legs and swung her body with his and smashed it on the ground, where they both fell through the floor of the building.

Quickly getting to her feet, she went in for a punch but he caught it with his arm and tried to deliver a punch with his free arm but had to change it and stop her kick. He felt the blow make his bones creak, even with the increase in power and the gauntlets protecting him.

He got sent back but he managed to stop himself in time and ducked under a kick then shot his hand forward where he placed his palm on her stomach and flexed the muscles in his arm.

Given he used 20%, the flex acted like a open hand strike straight to her stomach and knocked the wind out of her as she took a couple steps back to regain her breath.

"Miruko for the last t-" "LUNA RISE!!" Her foot clipped his chin and ripped his mask off while also cracking his jaw as he smashed through the ceiling. Landing painfully on the floor he held his jaw in pain and looked up seeing her land on the ground as well.

"I don't care Rumi, just as long as it makes you and E-- happy then I'm happy" said Izuku as a name faded out and she wasn't sure whose name it was.

Miruko shook her head and tried to ignore the feelings in her chest, it was far to real to be a mind control or anything of the sorts... yet she couldn't figure out what was going on.

Deku used 5% and slammed his fist on the ground caving the floor and made them fall to the next floor.

Miruko fell on the ground hard and quickly swung up so she was standing, she looked up at Deku and charged at him.

They both smashed into each other and kept trying to grapple the other or deliver powerful blows to stop the other one.

Dodging a punch from Deku she used her incredible flexibility to wrap her feet around his neck, she then swung her body body down slamming him on the ground painfully.

Gritting his teeth he sent OFA to his arm and slugged her in the stomach with 10%.

The floor cracked from the blow and she looked up and saw pain in his eyes from having to hit her.

"I love you Rumi" said Izuku nuzzling his nose against hers, making her smile as her ears flopped backwards in happiness.

"I love you too Izuku" she said as she looked up at him giving the height difference, she then gave him a loving kiss pouring all her love into it.

Dekus arm clashed with her leg and the bones creaked from the force, but he pushed through and decked her cheek making her brain rattle. But he was met with a kick to the side of his thigh that made him fall to one knee.

Mirukos knee came for his exposed chin but he grabbed her leg before it could land and swung backwards holding it while flipping his leg over to wrap around her neck to choke slam her to the ground.

This grappling and vicious close quarters combat continued for another 2 minutes and entire sections of the building were damaged beyond repair.

As they continued this fight, more images kept flashing through Mirukos head and for Deku he kept remembering similar things from when he was with her.

For both of them now, he had her pinned to the wall with both her arms over her head, he had one arm holding her leg up to prevent her from kicking him and he used his right leg to hold her left one on the ground.

Panting was all that was heard as they stared at each other and Deku remembered his time with her and how much he loved her.

Miruko kept seeing images and felt the raw emotions of each one... before she knew it, they felt more and more real, like a piece of her had been missing, but now was back.

They both stared at each other panting heavily, exhausted from the battle and remembering all of his future while for her, seeing small images of it.

Before Deku knew it, he succumbed to his emotions and smashed his lips against hers, shocking her, but not angering her, before she knew it, she was kissing him back with just as much vigor.

Soon their tongues were wrestling with each other and Dekus hand let go of her pinned arms, which she immediately used to wrap around his neck and back to pull him closer to her.

"Why am I missing him.. I don't even know him and yet...... I feel like I've loved him for a very long time and.. I want to be with him and show him how much I missed his presence around me" she thought to herself as she kept kissing him.

"I love you Rumi" said Izuku as pushed her down on the bed and kissed her making her head go light.

Before the kissing could get any more intense, Deku finally realized what he was doing and pried Mirukos arms off him and jumped away, not turning back as he ran. He was berating himself for doing something like that.. but at the same time he wondered something else... why did she kiss him back the same way she used after a long mission away from one another.

With Miruko she was left in the same spot and placed one hand on her chest to feel her heart hammering away at a very fast rate, while at the same time with her other hand, she gently touched her lips and simply wondered one thing.

Why did this make her so happy and feel loved along with feeling butterflies in her stomach, the same kind as when you love someone.

She had so many questions racing through her mind, but her most prominent ones were what were those images in her head and why were the emotions so real.

"Come on Deku let's unpack this tent for me, you and E--" said Ochako in a heavily wooded area with the other survivors of the UA invasion.

Izuku wasn't responding as he just kept staring at the ground with an unreadable expression, All Might, Kacchan, Ojiro, Sato, Kyoka, Tamaki, Nejire, Hound Dog, Powerloader and lots of heroes and students were all dead because he didn't kill Shigaraki and he didn't reach All Might in time to save him.

Ochako put down the stuff and slowly walked towards him and wrapped her arms around him.

"It's ok D-Izuku... we will get through this and soon we all be able to get our lives back" said Ochako as the gently rubbed the top of his head.

"But how... All Might.. Kacchan and so many others are dead... all because I wasn't strong enough to kill Shigaraki like I should've... nor was I able to kill All For One" said Izuku looking at her.

Ochako smiled sadly and gently cupped his face as she looked into his eyes "because I know you will defeat them Izuku, you never give up.. and that's why I fell in love with you, you never gave up and you always try your hardest to do the right thing" she said.

She then leaned forward snd gently kissed his forehead before bringing his head to her chest hugging him and letting him listen to her heart.

Izuku didn't know it but he began to cry into her chest as she held him, she had to be strong for him, she promised herself that she will help hold him together during all of this.

__

Ochako's eyes snapped open as she leaned up in her bed and held her chest, while breathing heavily "w-was that a-a dream.." she said "no... that was way to real to be a dream".

She looked around her room and then reached for her new smart phone that Momo made her as a gift. She decided to see if Deku was ok, as she looked through the internet, she came upon something that made her eyes go wide.

Miruko is fighting Deku in Musutafu.

Ochako cupped a hand over her mouth as she watched the fight "Deku... why...".

She was pulled out of thoughts when she heard a knock on the door, walking to it and opening the door, she was met with Mina, Momo, Toru, Jiro and Tsu.

They all moved into the dorms soon after Deku started to hunt down villains and corrupt heroes, the school had them move in to help protect them.

"Ochako I think we need to talk, we already woke up the guys... except for Mineta.. we left that for Denki" said Mina.

Meanwhile infront of Minetas room Denki was covering his nose from the smell, it smelt absolutely awful and he was 100% sure that if he had a blacklight, the room would glow white.

"U-um what's it about?.." said Ochako.

They all looked at each other, then looked back at her and Momo spoke "this is gonna sound ridiculous, but w-we all had something akin to visions and we saw things... like battles or destruction.. and a couple of us saw that we were dating people".

"Y-yeah..." said Mina as she rubbed the back and a lilac blush formed on her cheeks as she remembered her vision. She was dating Izuku and they had some little girl with them both raising her after Ochako was killed.

She could still feel the pure raw emotions from those visions she got, she couldn't fully explain it but... it felt as if she loved him and does love him, of course she would admit that he was very cute and in all honesty handsome.

Ochako looked at them shocked "I-I had something similar as well.. they felt so real..." she then placed a hand over her heart "even the emotions...".

They nodded and they went down to the commom rook where everyone else was sitting with expressions that were ranging from sadness, anger and depression.

"So..." said Katsuki looking around at everyone "we all had similar visions?".

They all nodded in agreement as they remembered the visions they each individually saw.

"So Bakugo what did you see?" Said Kirishima looking at him.

"............ I pushed Izuku out of the way before a hand touched me, then everything went black as I watched him scream for me" said Katsuki.

Momo looked down and played with her hands as she remembered what happened in her vision "I.. my eyes opened and I was, I was in a large room with massive tubes everywhere... it hurt so much and I looked down. I had metal parts stuck to me with those tubes attached to them... I was extremely pale and skinny, I could see every single rib on my body.

Then I was picked up by Midoriya who said I was going to be ok... then I reached out and touched his face and said thank you for saving me... then my eyes closed" said Momo as she remembered all those emotions she felt during that vision.

"I had something similar to me... except I pushed Jiro away and told Midoriya who was being carried by Aizawa, to protect her. Then those Nomu things attacked me and ripped me apart" said Denki as his hand started to shake in fear as he remembered it.

"So we all had these visions except each one of ours were different yet similar since they all involved Midoriya..." said Todoroki trying to make heads or tails of this.

"...wait I remember something!!" Said Toru standing up suddenly, with everyone's attention on the invisible girl, she spoke "remember how Aizawa and All Might senseis have been kinda depressed and sometimes have far away looks?. Maybe it's because they had something similar happen to them and they aren't telling us".

"Ok but why would we all be getting these?" Said Iida "it doesn't make any sense, since none of us had ever gone through any of this".

"Who knows... but maybe Hagakure is right and maybe we should ask them" said Kyoka biting on one of her jacks.

They all agreed to do that and Iida pulled out his phone and called Aizawa.

While that was happening Ochako held her head as another vision entered her mind.

"Izu-ku..." said Ochako while coughing up blood.

"OCHAKO!!!" Screamed Izuku trying to stand up but several Nomus held him down.

"I-I love you... and I always will.. please take care of Eri and... find love.." she said with a smile.

"Say goodbye to your girlfriend Deku" said a sickly voice as a hand touched her head.

"NOOOOOOOO OCHAKO!!! OCHAKO!!!!!!".

"I lo-" then everything went black.

Ochako gasped when she was brought back to reality when Mina was shaking her.

"Hey Ochako, you ok?" Said Mina looking really concerned.

"I... I don't know..." she said "that... felt just as real as the others... and whose Eri.. and why do I feel a strong maternal bond to that name...".

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Deku finally arrived at a far away building and landed on the roof painfully, with him smashing into the AC unit. He slowly stood up while groaning in pain, he felt it, his left arm was knocked out of its socket.

Grabbing the arm and lining it up, he moved over so his left side was near the AC unit, then he slammed his shoulder into it while gritting his teeth in pain.

Slumping down he sighed as he thought over his fight with Rumi, why did he have to remember his time with her and the others back In the future... it made things so much harder and more painful.

"Damnit... I shouldn't have let my emotions control me and kiss her.... but why didn't she fight back.. it felt like she wanted to kiss me... almost like how it used to be when we'd leave for a mission and come back..." he aaid, trying to figure out why she'd do that.

Deku then looked at his hand and tried to will Blackwhip but all that came was a single small black wisp.

"I have to get stronger... I only have 2 weeks until the training camp... and i still need to save Eri" he said standing up and looking out to the city "I will stop you All For One, Shigaraki, Overhaul and the Hero Association".

"I love you papa" said Eri hugging a large figure before her, that was wearing a green hero costume

"I love you too Eri" said the voice.

She felt a new emotion she couldn't even begin to describe what it felt like since this was the first time she's ever felt it, plus what was that papa word?. She went to look up at him, but then everything changed and she felt unbelievable pain.

Eri let out a scream as she was brought back to the lab on the operating table.

"Good job Eri, only 10 more times and we're done with today's session" said Overhaul putting on a new surgical glove as he glossed over the fact he just killed Eri and brought her back to life again.

She let out a tiny whimper, she had to go through this every single day... get experimented on for hours and not even death could save her, she would just be brought back to life to go through over and over and over and over again every single day.

"I will always protect you Eri" said a voice as a image came to her of that same green hero costume with a yellow cape, she couldn't make out his face, but she saw that weird thing his lips were doing, when they were up.
