Chapter 48 - MY BABY IS BACK!
"In ten days, you will be taking the provisional license exam. Normally, students will not take this exam until their second year; however, with everything going on, Principal Nezu has decided to start early to release heroes as quickly as possible. For the next few days, you will be developing super-moves, and you're expected to have two by the end of this training. This should give you an advantage in battle, whether it be offensive or defensive. It's your ticket to winning. During this time, you may go to the support lab to improve your costume and gear to create a new move. To help you, we have Cementoss, Ectoplasm, Midnight, and Izuku if you need any help. Now, get to it." Shouta demands. The students take a moment to recover from the shock factor before heading to the field.
Yes, we are taking our provisional license exam in ten days, including me. Well, I could avoid it, but I need some credibility here.
"Izuku, you're taking two tests that day." The fuck?
"Why two? If anything, I don't have to take any at all. I'm only taking that one because people are jealous that I wasn't born with a quirk." Shouta sighs.
"This is different. It has nothing to do with heroes," now that piques my interest, " you probably heard of it. There is a test that you can take to be allowed to enter cases without Nezu over you. It gives you some control, more than the normal hero. Usually, you have to build your way to get into cases, let alone respect in those cases. This automatically gives you that right. It's rare for someone to past it, but you shouldn't have a problem." I ram the inside of my brain because, for fucking once, I never heard of that.
"Sounds like something Nezu would throw me in. How does it work?"
"You will be given a case, and you have four hours to figure it out."
"Now that's up my alley! Easy-peasy lemon squeezy!" I would do anything to get out of Nezu's control for the cases, so this works.
"Of course, it is. Do you have CAT programmed for the exam?"
"Yip yip! It's charging! After that, Mei will test it for me."
OH, LET ME INTERRUPT AND TELL YOU ABOUT CAT BECAUSE CAT IS BACK AND READY FOR TROUBLE!
FLASHBACK, GOD! Oh, wait...FLASHBACK AUTHOR!

Flashback A Couple Days Ago
After the whole thing with CAT dying, I got the best offer ever. Melissa offered to rebuild CAT for me if I sent her the blueprints and allow her to make it better! With life being a bitch to me lately, I decided that accept that offer. She was only building the body, but they have all the material in the world to make it better. I would be a goddamn fool to decline it. The moment I got back to Japan, I updated the blueprints to do more things and sent them off to her. I kept in touch with Melissa, helping by providing ideas for her new projects that I couldn't do here in exchange for her to build that body. I made sure Mei was involved in that.
That was all over a month ago. Today is the day I'm supposed to get the new body of CAT! It's like waiting for Santa to bring me a present after I gave the man a plate of cookies with some milk. I haven't even argued with anybody yet. I'm staring out the window, waiting for the mail-person to arrive. I've been here since school has ended.
"Hey Kayama, where's Aizawa?" I hear Yagi ask in the background.
"He's been called out on a mission. Why?" I hear her respond.
"Young Midoriya has not moved from that spot for the past hour, nor has he argued with anyone today."
"Shoot. I'll go talk to him," A minute later, I feel a weight beside me, " Hey Izu, is something wrong?"
"No! Today a good day!" I exclaim as I bounce in place like a child.
"May I ask why?"
Before I get a chance to respond, I see the mail-person at the gate. Faster than All Might, I dash from my place and zoom to the entrance. I sign without a problem and take the surprisingly small, lighter than expected box. That's a good sign! I run back to the building, ignore the strange looks I get as I burst into my apartment, and slam the door behind me. I place the box down as gently as possible. As I go to grab some scissors, I call someone.
"Hey, Izuku! Is the baby here?!" Mei screeches through the phone.
"Yes, gurl! Hurry up before I open it without you!" That phone fucking slams as I hear pounds from the door. I open it up, and Mei quickly pushes me out of the way to enter, " Where is it?!"
I drag her to the box. Without hesitation, I cut open the box. I open it, and it reveals four carefully packaged metal balls. Before you start screaming, 'THIS ISN'T CAT!' don't worry, it is. Initially, we were going to have it as one compact ball with a camera on the outside so that it could be used as a stealth device. However, Melissa had problems with that because CAT is a big machine. I was quick to come up with a solution of doing four little balls instead of one bigger ball. That, of course, leads to many ideas in itself. However, I will spare the details for now.
My inspiration for this project? Pokemon and I'm not even kidding. CAT is going to be a pokemon that transforms from a Pokeball! Anyway, back with the flashback.
Mei and I start pulling them out and looking them over. After looking at every detail, we look up at each other.
"They're beautiful!" We scream at the same time.
"Imagine all we can do with these!" Mei starts coming up with so many ideas, and I make sure to write them all down.
"Hey, Mei, I'm going to be busy. As much as I hate to say it, work is going to keep us away from our kids. Can you charge and test them for me, please? I already have the programming done. You just have to put in the flash drives I gave you last week." I ask.
. . .
"REALLY?! I WOULD LOVE TO FOR OUR BABIES!"
"That's one weight off my shoulders! Now, let's call up Melissa." I pull up the messenger app on the computer and call Melissa through video chat. Within the second ring, she appears on the screen.
"Hey, guys! I see you have received the builds?" I nod ecstatically with a genuine smile for once.
"THANK YOU!" Mei and I both scream, causing her to laugh.
"No problem! I wish I could talk longer, but school is becoming a heavy load. Call me soon! Bye-bye!"
"Later!" "Bye, Babe!" I think you can guess whose reaction is whose.
With that, let us cut to the current time!

Present
"Shouldn't you test it yourself?" Nemuri asks as we watch the students.
"I trust Mei to do it," I answer without a second thought. She quirks her eyebrow.
"Trust her? Does that mean you're interested in her?!"
"As a sister, yes," Nemuri droops, " You know I don't know that feeling. I'm only interested in friends or fucking, and I'm not even interested in fucking." I get a strange look from Ectoplasm and Cementoss.
"You should not discuss that aloud, Midoriya," Cementoss attempts to inform me.
"We all know I will, anyway."
"Can you attempt restraint?"
"The day that happens is the day I'm dead literally!"
Ectoplasm shakes his head, " You're way too enthusiastic whenever you talk about your death."
"I'm going to die by eating a bunch of chocolate chip cookie dough!"
"Did he go to therapy at all?"
Nemuri steps in, " He did once. Hound Dog just left him with Shouta so they can discuss their problems."
"Did anything come out of that meeting?"
"Kind of? He's aware of his self-value to the point he sacrificed Shouta over it." That causes me to flinch. I rather not bring that up. Shouta must have noticed because he catches my attention.
"Izuku, go around and give the kid's advice."
"Yes, sir." Without hesitation, I go to help out Kaminari, seeing as he has the most problems. I also see the most potential in gear for him. Right now, his quirk is very limited in use because it harms everything around him. I can pretty much replicate my tools and make it his or create new gear for him. Either way, fun for me!
Due to the fact this would take forever, I'm just going to time-skip a few days. You're fucking welcome that you don't have to deal with it because I do.
SWISH SWISH BISH! ANOTHER ONE IN THE BASKET!
I'm sorry, moving on.

It has been a few days, and we have some updates on some students.
Bakugo has learned how to make a cannon with his quirk by forming a tube with his hand and exploding his quirk through that, so that's nice.
Hagakure learned how to do light refraction. Because Hagakure's body is invisible, she can apparently refract light.
Tokoyami turned Dark Shadow into some sweet-ass armor, and he is currently working on Dark Shadow at night.
Ashido learned how to make acid shields.
Jirou figured out how to make sonic waves in the ground.
Kaminari FINALLY got some gear where he shoots a plate. That way, when he uses his quirk, it will flow through just the target to the plate. I may or may not have also given him a conductible sword and pole.
Finally, Tsuyu can now camouflage herself. Tsuyu is as versatile as a box. You can do a lot with boxes.
Oh, and Yagi is becoming a decent teacher by reading a fucking idiot guide! Whatever works, I guess.
While the students finish prepping for the exam, I finally get to meet my new babies and try them out! Mei has already tested them, so they should work, but she didn't check everything. I don't know how she squeezed that in when the hero course students keep going to her nonstop, but I'm happy I get to use it! While the students work on their strength, I get to play. With the four balls, I had to upgrade my suit, where they will clip to my belt like in Pokemon.
I take the balls off and set them on the ground. The teachers are distracted, meaning I can test out the first mode. Let's start with stage one, shall we?
"Scout Mode: Activate," I state. Within a second, the 'scouts' start roaming around, and everything is sent to my visor. I can see four little screens, each displaying different locations. This allows me to stalk the students, and no one has noticed yet! One even went by Cementoss's foot! I'm bouncing in place for how excited I am! Right now, they are going where ever the hell they want. That is a good thing to an extent, but what if I want to go to a different place?
Don't worry. I have something for that too! I pull out my phone and tell the visor," Control: Scout 3." Suddenly, the scout near Bakugo stops, and the controls on my phone appear. I start messing around, causing the ball scout to go around in circles. After some more playtime, I have full control of scout three! Time to test the final part.
"Scout Mode: Scout 3. All scouts return to the home point."
Wow. The scouts move fast because they are all over the place, one even being at the complete opposite side of the field. Like, it has only been a couple of minutes! Another couple of minutes later, they are circling me like they are a cult.
I didn't think that the program would work. I wrote it as a joke, but they're actually circling me!
Time for a moment of truth.
"CAT Mode: Activate."
The four little scouts ram into each other, their lids opening up, and a bunch of metal and wiring shoots up to transform into the CAT we all know and love!
"CAT! BABY, I MISSED YOU!" I scream, tackling the robot to the ground. Well, I tried. CAT is more stable now. Also, CAT is made of new material to make it almost impossible to beat with many features. Well, besides All Might and extreme conditions, maybe, but that's rare. I don't even notice everyone looking at me hugging the robot till I look up, " You mind? This is a special moment." That got them to look away besides Shouta. He walks over to inspect the robot. I let go of the robot and stand up, letting it roam around while I study it.
"I don't know how to feel about a sociopath gaining that."
"You're never happy, are you?"
"Anything involving you? Rarely." That's just sad.
"Alright, then. Begone, thot!"
"You're in charge of checking Mineta's room by tonight."
"THE FUCK?! WHY!?" Shouta doesn't even answer. He walks away like the petty man he is, " GET BACK HERE, EMO RAPUNZEL!"
Well, he can screw himself. Meanwhile, I have one final mode to test for the while.
"Suit Mode: Activate."
CAT rearranges itself once more, going faster then it did before everything happened. It forms around my body, finishing my public suit once again after so long! I'm quick to notice that it's lighter, meaning I can move around more. It should be more durable as well, meaning I might not die to the bullet to the chest. It should reflect. A dent will be left, but better than being dead!
Either way, I'm ready to beat this stupid exam I shouldn't have to take!
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
