Himiko smiled warmly as she watched Eri munch on her food that Mina was nice enough to get her. Himiko then gently reached out and started to pet her hair as her smile grew more and was almost motherly.

"Wow Himiko.. you look like a mom right now" said Mina.

Everyone then saw her all but glow at that "I wouldn't mind that" she said happily as Eri continued to sit in her lap and eat, not really paying attention to everyone since If she did, she'd see to many people in her opinion.

"You want to be a mom?" Said Ochako "I mean we all do, but you sound very excited for it".

"I am.. and I'd honestly be ok with never being a hero and just being a stay at home mom" said Himiko.

That shocked all the girls at the table as they stared at her, it was almost never heard of that someone would give up being a hero when in a hero school to be a mom.

"Really? Then why are you in the hero course?" Asked Momo.

"To be with Izuku and help him, he saved me when I was at my lowest and I owe him my life.. so I'd do anything to protect him and I'd more than happily give him a family since.." Himiko then gently touched her stomach with her hand. "I've always wanted to be a mom.. having a couple kids and getting to see the man I love come home everyday to my arms as we raise a family".

The smile on Himikos face grew even more and it was almost infectious for how warm it was.

"I'd love that more than anything" Himiko said with her smile somehow growing more.

None of the girls knew how to describe it, but now a small part of them wondered what that life would be like.

Staying at home and raising the kids and taking care of the house, then your husband comes home to your open arms showing he missed you and the kids.

"That... actually sounds kinda nice.." said Ochako feeling conflicted right now given she'd like to be a mom, but at the same time, she wants to help her parents have a easy life and she couldn't provide that as easily if she was a stay at home mom or even a mom in general.

"It's what I'd like, but I'm ok with waiting for now, besides" Himiko said as she gently hugged Eri from behind "I have Eri right here and that gives me the feeling of being one".

Eri listened to all of this and was silently wondering what a mom was and why Himiko became even nicer than before when mentioned about it.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Izuku was completely shocked as he stared at Kaina and didn't know what to say, it's been years since he's last seen her, years before he even met Himiko.

"K-kaina" he said again as small tears welled up in his eyes at seeing her for the first time in almost a decade.

"Hello Izuku" she said softly as she stood up and slowly walked towards him as he continued to stare at her and once close enough, she gently hugged with his head being next to hers given how tall he was now. "I missed you and it's good to see you".

Izuku didn't say anything, he couldn't as he was completely overwhelmed with emotions and thoughts, all he could do was slowly wrap his arms around her and gently hold her as tears threatened to come out.

"Why?" Was all Izuku said as he hugged her tighter.

"... I can't say right now.. all I'll say is that it was to protect you and everyone else" she said as she knew what he was referring to.

They stayed like this for a couple minutes before Izuku finally let her go and looked at her "your hair is shorter" he said gesturing to her hair that was just past her ears since the association is finally letting her hair get longer.

"Yeah.. I'm only allowed to grow it to my shoulders" she said.

Izuku looked down at that "im sorry... I liked it longer, it looked good" he said.

Kaina smiled warmly and grabbed a small strand of her hair to look at the end as she played with it while remembering her very long hair and how Izuku used to compliment it, unknowingly being the reason why he likes long hair.

"Well.. before you have to leave for the matches, how about you tell me everything that's happened since I last saw you" said Kaina as they both walked over to the chairs to sit.

After sitting down, Izuku began to tell her all but the much darker stuff that happened and he also left out more of his grotesque injuries. He then went on to explain how he awakened a quirk one day then later met Himiko.

Izuku or Kaina noticed it, but when he mentioned Himiko and how close both of them were, her eyebrow twitched very very slightly.

They would've continued to talk, but they both heard the announcement from Present Mic and Izuku looked at her with a sad expression on his face "it was good seeing you again... I hope we get to see each other again really soon".

"Me to Izuku, hopefully we will" she said knowing it'll be next to impossible given the commission.

He was about to leave, when she suddenly stopped him "wait..".

Stopping he turned to look at her as she brought her hand to her hair and created a bullet before handing him it.

"It wont disappear or turn into hair, itll stay like that till I die" she said having tested how long her bullets can last without using them and her record is is 25 years given she's 29 going on 30.

"Thank you... I'll tressure it Kaina" he said happily as he put the bullet away in his pocket before leaving, stopping himself from hugging her since he knew, neither would want to let go.

Watching him leave, she let out a sad sigh and wished he could've stayed longer wouldn't be alone like she has been for the last decade.

"You really have grown up Izuku.." she said as she remembered one of the last times she saw him before going to jail.

10 years ago a 19 year old Kaina was watching over a 6 almost 7 year old Izuku as Inko had to work her second job.

Kaina didn't need the money or anything... but this made her feel human and not like a cold blooded killer.

"Kaina, look at this cool drawing" he said showing her a drawing he just made that showed him, herself and his mom.

"Wow that's amazing Izuku, but why am I in it?" She asked confused.

"Well.. your my only friend and it'd be wrong if I didn't add you" said Izuku with a smile.

She was completely silent unable to respond to that and she felt lots of guilt and sadness well up in her that she was his only friend, when all she was a glorified babysitter.

But soon a soft smiled appeared on her lips as she gently rubbed the top of his head "thank you Izuku, i really appreciate it".

His smile grew, but then he pointed at her and declared something.

"When I get older, I'm gonna be a great hero like you and one day save your smile" he said with his green eyes burning like a inferno.

Kaina didn't know why, but when she looked into his eyes, she could tell he was telling the truth.

He was a little caught off when she smiled more and then ever so gently kissed his forehead "thank you but I don't need a hero... but if I ever do i hope it's you" she said.

Izukus face went red from getting kissed on his forehead and he immediately turned around hiding his embarrassment, which made her laugh lightly.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Aizawa was walking through the halls after getting chewed out by Emi on the phone for not eating any real food, so now he had a couple snacks to make her happier, plus a bucket of popcorn since he had a inkling feeling Nezu will show up.

"That rat knows everything" he thought to himself.

"Indeed I do" said Nezu appearing out of nowhere and grabbing the bucket of popcorn and then just disappearing.

"...... I don't drink enough for this shit" he said and just kept walking.

He was about to turn a corner, he accidentally bumped into someone dropping his snacks and drink on the ground.

"Sorry" they both said at the same time as they both reached for the food, but stopped since they both reached for the same bag of chips and that's when Aizawa looked up to see it was Inko.

Normally for Inko, she wouldn't get flustered, but given how many years it's been, seeing a man who was decently attractive, even with his long hair, made her blush a bit.

"I-I'm so sorry" she squeaked out.

"It's alright Ms Midoriya, mistakes happen" he said quickly calming her down and saw she dropped a container of cut up apples. He grabbed it and handed it to her.

"T-thank you" she said a little embarrassed as she took them so Eri has a snack during the game. Inko then reached back and started to help him grab all his snacks.

"Izuku is doing well in class and is gaining lots of friends" said Aizawa grabbing the last of his snacks as he stood up and Inko handed him the ones she grabbed.

"I'm happy to hear that.... also I wish to thank you" she said making him raise a eyebrow.

"Don't tell him I said this or he'd die of embarrassment, but he's truly thankful for some of the things you taught him, especially the things that only a guy can teach a boy" said Inko. She could still remember the time he came back from UA and had a couple tissues stuck to his cheeks since Aizawa taught him how to shave. "He truly appreciates it all and... in a way, you filled a role Izuku desperately needed growing up and I can't even begin to repay you".

In a very rare moment, Aizawa let a small real smile appear as he looked at Inko "it's no trouble, Ms Midoriya. I was happy to teach him those things and help him grow up to be a better person than he was before" he said.

Inkos cheeks warmed and before she knew it, her body moved.

*chu*

She kissed Aizawas cheek.

"Thank you again Mr Aizawa" she said quickly and extremely embarrassed before she quickly scampared off to go get to her seat.

Aizawa stood still like a statue as he tried in vain to process what just happened, before he felt a cold chill go down his spine and turned to see Emi glaring at him.

Meanwhile with Inko she sat down, but was still blushing like mad at what she just did and was screaming at herself that she was a grown woman, not some high school girl who could just do that.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"NOW FOR THE FIRST CONTESTANTS!!! IZUKU MIDORIYA!!!!!" Yelled Present Mic loudly as most of the stadium cheered but a bunch didn't as they glared at him for the quirkless comment he made before.

Izuku then heard lots of loud cheering and his eyes went over to his class where lots of them were cheering him on, which made him smile in embarrassment. But then his eyes caught two people.

It was Himiko who was waving happily while Eri was in her lap waving as well but in her hand was his sketchbook that he asked her to hold onto while he's fighting, which she happily accepted.

Izuku was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Shinsos name get called and he turned to see him, walking towards him in a calm manner.

"Nothing personal Midoriya, but I intend to win this match" said Shinso honestly and not using his quirk.

Izuku nodded, which made Shinso chuckle since it showed he was ready for the match against him.

"Are both fighters ready?" Said Midnight getting nods from both of them, which made her smile as she pulled out her whip and with a loud crack of it, the round started.

"It must feel nice to have such a strong quirk" said Shinso immediately.

Izuku easily ignored this and charged at him, getting closer than Shinso was expecting, which forced him to move as well, to avoid getting punched.

"Though if I were to talk about quirks, I guess I should talking about Togas" said Shinso as he saw a look of anger in Izukus eyes as he tried to stop him. "Its related to blood, so she must be a villain, or should I say... monster".

Rage instantly filled Izukus eyes as his anger made him snap "DON'T YOU EVER CALL HER THAT!!" Screamed Izuku as rage flooded his system and he ran towards Shinso about to punch him, but he saw a smirk on his face.

"Gotcha".

Izukus eyes became lifeless and his body froze, as if a puppeteer attached strings to him and was now in control of him.

"In all fairness, I didnt mean what I said, but I knew that was the easiest way to get to you and win this match" said Shinso before he put his hands in his pocket. "Now turn around and walk out of the arena".

Izukus body began to move and as he did, he felt his summons screaming in bloody murder in rage against Shinso, within him due to his connection to them.

As Izuku started to get closer, Shinso felt his connection becoming more muddled, which forced him to concentrate even harder to control Izuku. But the harder he tried, the more the feeling grew until it was starting to hurt his head.

Izuku was only one step away from the edge, when his body started to shake as it was forced to a stop.

Shinso grabbed his forehead in pain as the feeling became excruciating, he then heard voices screaming in his head.

"HOW DARE HE!".

"HE'S CONTROLLING OUR MASTER!".

"HE MUST DIE!!!".

"KILL HIM!!!!".

The voices kept growing louder and louder and it felt like his brain was about to burst from all of them and the feeling of nothing but pure seething rage coming from Izuku.

The feeling kept growing more and more, to the point Shinso was screaming in pain... but it somehow became a hundred times worse as everything started to go black from where Izuku was. The dark Veil then began to fade towards him, before Shinso found himself in a completely black void with only himself and Izuku.

Looking around, he was beyond confused before the pain suddenly shot through his body to the point, he wanted to die.

He could vaguely see it, but another pair of rage filled bug like eyes stared deep into his soul.

Shinso fell to the ground and held his head in pain as the world around him went back to normal.

Izukus head suddenly snapped back to normal, but he could still feel rage circulating through him like lava under his skin.

Snapping his head back, he looked at him like he was an annoyance and before Shinso could do anything, he saw that black like armor cover his forearms and legs before Izuku shot forward.

Moving at surprising speeds, Izuku went to punch Shinso, but he rolled out of the way at the last second, which he was grateful for.

Izukus fist smashed straight into the concrete and shattered It, showing just how much strength he put into that single punch.

Standing back up, Izuku looked at Shinso but seemed to have regained some control on his temper now.

Trying, he almost got to his feet, but Izuku was even faster and landed a blow against his stomach.

Shinso felt his body get lifted off the ground from the force of the punch and it even carried him, before sending him out of the ring, leaving him on the ground, dry heaving and desperate to get air.

Taking a deep breath, Izuku calmed his anger down more, but was still struggling.

"IZUKU MIDORIYA WINS!!!!" yelled Midnight.

Cheering was heard throughout most of the stadium, but some people stayed silent or even openly glared as they still remembered what he said earlier about helping the quirkless. But in a more private part of the stands, he saw his mom cheering him on while openly sobbing in happiness.

In the class stands, most of the class was cheering, with the girls being the loudest and even Eri tried, by raising her hands like Himiko did.

Izuku smiled at this and started to leave the arena when he saw the medical bots take Shinso away and as he did, he didn't notice that his quirk was changing again and making another power based off Shinsos. Nor did he notice strange markings appear on his cheeks before they disappeared.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I must say he's done an amazing job, especially with how he regained control" said Thirteen as she watched Izuku leave the ring.

"I agree, though he still does have a ways to go before he's ready for the real world, but if he continues the way he has been, then I'm sure he'll become very powerful" said Power Loader.

"That may be true, but his quirk is still a mystery" said Hound Dog.

"One that as teachers, we shall help him with" said Ectoplasm.

"Still though... his quirk is something else and the possibilities are endless" said Thirteen.

Izuku arrived in the stands when both Todoroki and Sero left for the round they were just announced for.

He didn't even get to his seat, when Eri ran forward as soon as she saw him and immediately tried to hug him, but he reacted faster and picked her up, making her wrap her arms around him and bury her head into his chest.

"I'm back Eri and its thanks to your cheering I won" said Eri as he remembered her cheering for him in her own way.

"R-really?" She said shocked as her red eyes looked deep into his forest green ones.

"Yes Eri, so thank you" he said with a genuine smile.

Just for a single moment, Izuku saw her lips twitch upwards showing he's getting closer to making her smile.

"I-Im glad I helped" she said before resting her head against his chest.

As all of this happened, the girls. Especially Himiko were watching this and a single thought went through all of them.

"Husband and father material" they thought and Himiko bit her lip at the thought as her eyes lingered on Izuku the longest and had a longing look in her eyes.

Izuku carried Eri to his seat next to Himiko and Eri turned around to sit in his lap while watching the matches.

"ARE BOTH FIGHTERS READY!?!?!" Screamed Midnight looking between both Sero and Todoroki.

Sero nodded with a large grin on his face while Todoroki said nothing and had a look of anger on his face.

"THEN FIGHT!!".

Sero didn't even get to move before everything went white and he was encased in ice with only his head sticking out.

Complete shock and silence was all that was heard for a moment, before people began cheering in celebration.

"W-winner is Shoto Todoroki!" Said Midnight as she watched him dethaw all the ice and leave.

Izuku watched him leave, but before he did, he glared at Izuku, who felt the rage emanating from him.

He also felt rage well up inside of him, which he shook his head at and wondered why he's having such a hard time controlling his anger lately. Ever since the USJ incident with the Juggernaut, he feels fear so much easier and can even feel it from others sometimes.

"Izu.. that was insane" said Himiko having never seen a ice quirk on par with that. It was as strong as his father's flames, which both amazed and scared her.

"It really was" said Izuku as he felt his quirk get riled up again and felt like something was asking to be drawn.

The match that followed that was Denki vs Ibarra with Denki trying to impress the ladies... which didn't work.

But something that Ibarra said surprised lots of people and even got shouts of rage from the stadium.

"I believe that the savior shall come and save the quirkless... for they have waited for 75 long years for his rise" said Ibarra.

"What's she talking about?" Asked Kyoka confused.

"If i remember correctly... a long time ago after the quirk and quirkless war, the quirkless had a prophet who had a quirk that could predict the future sometimes. But he suddenly claimed that  someone shall arise and save them all and lead them to a better future" said Momo having remembered hearing her dad complaining about it with government officials.

"Strange... is that why they built that massive floating island like I island off the coast of Japan" said Ochako vaguely remembering it.

"I think it was cause, it was the only way for them to have more freedom since Japan wouldn't allow them to leave the country for one that was more tolerant or friendly to the quirkless" said Shoji. "They also accept people with extreme mutation quirks since we are viewed the same as quirkless... though we are treated nowhere near as bad".

They were all pulled out of the conversation when they heard Midnight announce Ibarra the winner and that the next match was Mei Hatsume vs Tenya Iida.

Mei walked out with her usual grin and had lots of gadgets all over her and was waving around trying to advertise some before the match started. Her eyes then saw Izuku and she waved to him, which he waved back.

Himiko almost hissed towards Mei for that.

While Mei was doing that, Iida had a dark glare on his face after being reminded about the quirkless city by Izukus friends. With him now seeing this, his anger grew even more as he clenched his fists at how casually they talked about the quirkless or how Ibarra believed in the same religion they do.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Omake.

Ibarra walked out onto the arena and saw Denki walk out to and Midnight announced his name first, then hers, but Present Mic said something as well.

"And we have UA's follower of Jesus!!!" Screamed Mic.

Narrowing her eyes, she looked up at the booth and spoke "I'm not Christian, or believe in Shintoism or buddhism" said Ibarra before she got on her knees "I believe in Nezuism".

Everyone from UA or knew Nezu well enough froze at hearing that, then they all saw massive flags with Nezus face drap down the arena as people in black cloaks began praying to Nezu.

"You've got to be shitting me" said Aizawa.

"Hahahaha nope, I'm god of this world bitches" said Nezu as he noclipped through a wall and to wherever he came from.
