Lightz: Welcome to the latest chapter of The Amazing Deku, and I think it's time to update the pairing Izuku has. Oh, and while I have no intention of forcing you to do this, but check out Justice in My Heart and Koutetsu no Yaiba if you're interested. I hadn't done a lemon in a while and I could use feedback.
- Side Story: Full Gauntlet Spider Part 2 -
"Okay… beginning Take Nine of assembly…" Melissa, Izuku, and Momo can be found in the development course room. Hard at work, the blond is at her desk typing a coding into her laptop. The brunette is recorded everything with a handheld. The boy in green is standing on a platinum platform with holes in it, dressed in a pair of ruby boxers – boxers his girlfriend admires – and a face mask.
After a few seconds, Melissa finishes and presses enter. Turning around she watches the scene unfold. "And here we go."
A swarm of small metal spiders crawls out from the slit openings in the floor, each one the size of actual spiders. They climb up Izuku's feet slowly, latching onto one another before settling down on his flesh. As they do, the metal arachnids morph their shape and merge, his right foot now encased in shoes of metallic silver armor. The spiders continue to spread up his leg, the left one already gaining a shoe of its own.
This continues until the metal arachnids cover Izuku's body up to his neck stopping above his collar bone. His new armor is now fully on his person, showing a texture just like his vigilante suit. On his chest rests the spider symbol in lime green, that color the only thing on his silver bringer body. It can also be found around his fingers and running across his limbs returning to the spider.
"And now, the mask." Izuku takes in a deep breath and braces. More spiders collect up his face and assemble into the mask-helmet needed to complete the outfit. His eyes form into lime lenses.
From his perspective, Izuku looks around at his surroundings. He waves his hand before his face. "Visuals, check." He snaps his fingers twice. "Sounds, check."
Melissa checks her laptop. "Vitals normal; it looks like we finally got the mask down. Check your abilities."
Izuku takes a crouch and jumps up to the ceiling. He lands upside down staring below at the girls above his head. "My leg strength is the same, and I can still climb to walls." He releases control and lands safely on the platform. "Success?"
"No abnormalities," says Melissa, pressing a button that causes the mask to retract into the neck.
"Success!" Momo says with glee.
"Hatsume's suggestion worked like a charm." Izuku walks over to Melissa, his footsteps quieter than usual. "So I guess the next thing is adding the AI system and then the design."
"Design?" The blond spider stares at his armor suit. "What's wrong with that?"
He pokes at his stomach. "Silver isn't my color. Plus, it's too bright in the sun."
"You're gonna have to do that then."
"I'll do it," says Momo, catching their attention. "I have the perfect design in mind."
"No, I think I'll do it this time."
"Oh… well, that's settled then. But, we need something else." Melissa traces her finger along with the sensor pad and clicks. This shows a graph. "Battle data."
"Battle data?" he repeats.
"We need data on how much the armor can take, how well it can adapt to your speed, and more importantly how well it can protect your heart from using that other power you got." She presses more buttons. "We just need someone you can fight using your Quirk who can force your power out."
Thinking about it, that makes sense. According to her, the purpose of this suit is to allow him to utilize the full power of One for All without poisoning him. Seeing how long that feature will last is important. "Alright. Who can I fight against?"
Momo shrugs. "Well, Izuku, we have a myriad of classmates you can spar against."
"Good point." Izuku looks over to Melissa. "You mind if I take this for a test run?"
"Have fun," she tells him, waving to her client.
"Thanks!" He heads over to the door and goes out in a jogging motion.
Momo watches as he leaves, waving like a mother watching her child go out for the day. Noticing her, Melissa asks, "Aren't you going?"
"No need," she replies before turning to Melissa. "Now we can focus on my upgrades."
Over with Izuku, he walks down the hall still armored. 'It feels rather comfortable.' While walking, his mind goes back to One for All and why he still possesses it. If this gauntlet works he'll have no problems with it hurting him anymore, but there could still be others more worthy of such a power.
"I guess I'll just wait until I meet that worthy person." His spider-sense soon acts up. He quickly turns around to face the source of his threat.
Neck turning brings him face to face with the wall to his three o'clock, where he sees someone's face poking out. "What worthy person?"
"… What." Why is he not freaking out? There's a face in the wall.
"You must be Izuku Midoriya." And it knows his name. "Sir Nighteye told me about you."
"Sir Nighteye?" Why is that the only thing he reacted to?!
Chapter 48: Crooks and Nannies Part 1
Out in the alleyway of Musutafu, Gentle can be seen in disguise sneaking across the streets, a gray mask covering his face. Behind him is La Brava, also masked wearing yellow shades and a hat. The two partners in crime cross over the street heading to the next alleyway, their presence utterly ignored by the rest of society to their benefit.
Checking behind them, La Brava asks, "How far do we need to run?"
"Just far enough," says the villain as he moves with gentle haste, twirling his cane like the carefree magician he is wont to be. "We can't stay at our former apartment, less those heroes arrest us. Luckily, we know what he looks like so a little bit of information will help us out."
"Is that so?" The two stop dead in their tracks, their breaths caught in their throat like sticky bubbles. Looking up, they see something green climbing against the wall. "I've got some questions for you then."
…
Over at the greenhouse, the ladies and gentleman remain secluded there. Shino, Melissa, Momo, and Ochako wait outside of the translucent building.
Melissa looks over Ochako, her eyes studying the gravity spider in white. "So, do we call you Ochako or Ghost-Spider?"
"My name is Ochako Uraraka," says the spider girl politely, her eyes on Melissa and then Shino. "And you're the Black Cougar, right?"
"… I'm sorry?" Melissa stiffens a chuckle following Shino's retort.
"Isn't that your name?"
"No! It's Black Cat!" Shino responds in hostile defense.
"Might as well be," is Melissa's snide comment. As the adult looks away in implacable shame, the blond spider asks, "Uraraka, why did you decide to help Izuku? You said you had help, but who exactly?"
The chestnut hair woman looks down, her blemishing cheeks descending along with her expression as she stares at nothing but air. "I don't fully remember; there are bits and pieces of my memory from before my free will returned."
Flashback…
He's dead. Spider Noumu 03 couldn't hold the power of that formula after all. Now he's nothing but a puddle.
That's my fate too. Soon, my body will turn into a giant mess of melted flesh. Not that it matters to the master. I fight and do what he wishes. Nothing else matters.
That said, why am I down here in the sewers chasing after this Spider-Man as he calls him? All I remember is a voice in my head.
It spoke, "Help me."
Why did I hear it? And why does that voice sound so familiar?
Is it coming from him? Spider-Man is lying there, just motionless. How could it be coming from him? His voice is commanding me too, to come closer to him.
He's messed up bad. There's so much blood on him; that muscle man could have killed him. Should have. His blood… why does his blood look tasty? I want it.
"Eat it." I will.
End Flashback…
"And from the moment I licked his blood, things changed." Ochako looks down at her fingers, flexing them and making a fist. "Not only did my body hold together, but my thoughts also started to return to me. I could remember my life, my parents, my friend…" She smiles as she speaks before she gains a frown. "I also remembered who turned me."
As the girls listen to Ochako's story, Momo finds herself thanking whatever lucky star Izuku was born under to make this situation happen. At the same time, she's incredibly worried. Ochako is the first girl to befriend Izuku and the main drive behind his heroic philosophy. So much could happen with them reunited.
Before she could filter out these fears more, the door opens up. Izuku comes out dressed in new clothes. He has a bright red shirt under a white hoodie with bunny ears. His pants are just matching shorts with pink running shoes. If his face weren't hidden he would look adorable, like a bunny.
All ladies present gush at his adorable appearance. With that, Izuku asks, "Why this?"
Momo smirks. "Were you expecting black and green? We're trying to hide you."
"I mean, it's a good idea," speaks Melissa with a wrinkled nose. She forms webbing from her fingers and covers her mouth and nose with it.
"No one would suspect a bunny is a spider," Shino tells him.
Ochako points while blushing. "It's kind of appropriate if you think about it, Deku."
"I guess…" He adjusts himself before walking up to them. "Thank you for coming to me."
"Don't talk like you wouldn't have done the same for us." Momo takes his hand before walking off with him. "Now, let's get you to the hospital."
Though reluctant, he nods in agreement and follows her guidance.
Later…
As the day turns to night, over at Musutafu General Hospital one can find Momo Yaoyorozu sitting inside of a room facing her beloved Deku. Said green-haired individual can be found resting. Laying himself face-up on the bed, Izuku sighs as he tests his hands. "I still don't feel at a hundred percent."
"You'll get there." Momo slices an apple using a knife with great expertise, just like at I-Island. "How long will you be in?"
"They say I'll be fine by the end of tomorrow. I just need some time to rest and work the poison out of my system."
Sighing relief, Momo asks, "Did you call your mom?"
"I was going to before I got in, but I have to eventually."
"You should," Kuri speaks through Momo, slightly surprising Izuku by the impressive change in her voice. That's been hard to accept. "You shouldn't make your mother worry, and yet that's all you've done ever since you started becoming a hero."
"R-Right," he tells the alien, smiling when he notices Momo has regained control. "And… where are the others?"
"Melissa went back to UA to finish something. Shino took Uraraka with her for questioning," she tells him. Taking a break, she stops her culinary skill to glance at him, noticing the extreme pleasure in his voice. "You seem rather happy though."
"You can tell?" Following the look, he has his answer. "I'm just so glad. Remember when you told me her death wasn't my fault?"
Not bothering to remember because she knows exactly what he means, Momo nods. "All this time, I've been trying to accept that. Thanks to you, I was able to overcome my grief bit by bit. But, when I found her alive and she told me it wasn't my fault, I think that was the first time I was able to fully get over her death."
Momo looks aside, a half victory for herself. She got what she wanted, but it was because of someone else. That takes away most of her joy. "That's why I think it's appropriate to say, the two of you are the lights of my life."
Surprised yet touched, Momo looks back at him. "The light?"
"I was still suicidal even after I got my powers; the only thing that kept me going after I failed to get into UA was keeping the promise I made to her. But back when I fought Hitomi, she dropped an entire building on me. I thought about giving up; I had already achieved my promise to Ochako, and I still was able to be a hero; I almost accepted my death."
"Izuku…" She remains speechless. How can she respond to that?
"I almost gave up thinking it was impossible to get free until I remembered you." He smiles at her now. "If I hadn't remembered the promise I made to you, I would have died inside that school sarcophagus. I would never have seen how far I could push myself." His left-hand touches her right.
"Izuku…" She drops her apple to the table and pulls him into a loving embrace. "Thank you for coming back to me."
He hugs her back, straining himself to keep his hold on the girl as best as possible. She pulls free to grab the apple, handing it over to him. "I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your birthday though. The only thing that didn't get buried in that building were the clothes on my back."
"It's okay. I understand your situation."
"I bet I missed out on a lot of stuff."
The rich girl flushes red in the face, a ruby even deeper than her dress. "Not as much as you'd think. Without you, the main plan of the day wasn't going to happen."
"I don't think I would have missed mom showing you my baby photos." He bites on the apple.
"You would have missed our first time at sex." On cue, he chokes, the chunk of fruit getting sucked into his esophagus too fast for him to process. He pounds his chest to dislodge, the rich girl handing him a bottle of water for him to down it.
Finally recovered, he asks, "What?!"
"I wanted to have sex with you on my birthday." Izuku stares up at her with wide eyes. For such a raunchy topic – no, it's THE raunchy topic, innuendos, and metaphors excluded – she has such a straight face.
"You were?! I mean, WE were?!" She nods in agreement.
"I wanted it to be then because I wanted our first time to be on a special date." Her hands clasp his left hand, rubbing those fingers of his damaged in the fight. "It would have been perfect…"
Never in his life has he been in a position like this before. The very thought of having sex is turning his underwear into a tent, and he can't think of anything to shrink it. He's vastly unsure of what to say here, nothing except for what his mom once suggested to him. "Wow, uh… I didn't think you were ready for that, yet…"
"Yet is the keyword." Momo sneaks a single glance at his barely hidden erection, her composure remaining stern aside from the erubescence on her face. "I've been putting a profusion of thought into taking our relationship to the next level, but while I know we both have urges," her hand points to his tent, causing him to sit to the side in an attempt to hide it, "this would have been our first time, and like I said before I would like it to be special."
Her eyes now staring at his erection, she sighs saying, "So, that's why we'll have to try another day…"
"And that day is…" He wants to ask.
She leans in and pecks his left cheek. "A secret." The girl then pulls away from the sheet quickly, revealing Izuku in his pajama clothes. She crawls up onto the bed, lying on top of his lap to rub her clothed womanhood against him.
"M-Momo?!"
"Of course, that doesn't mean we can't sake ourselves until then." Her waist proceeds to grind against him, and he immediately grabs her butt. "Oh!"
"The door's closed, right?" he asks, not bothering to ask.
From Momo's back, a black tendril shoots out and pushes the door fully close. "It is now." The piece of Kuri returns to her, shaking a bit as it slithers into her pores. 'Ugh… uh oh.'
While Momo and Izuku enjoy their intimacy, Ochako and Shino are together in the same car. The adult drives down the road while the spider girl sits in the passenger seat, mask over her face. Her eyes draw themselves to her driver and then the windshield.
'So,' speaks the cat woman through her Quirk, 'while I'm grateful for you to have saved Izuku, I still don't know you enough to trust you.'
"You should be more worried about Deku. He could be attacked right now even with all those precautions."
"How so?"
"I was transformed into this state at a hospital." She faces the window to her right. "I don't remember which…"
"We're heading to visit someone I know. He can help with all that you know."
Tomorrow…
The bright sunlight of the day shines down upon Musutafu. Over at the Midoriya residence, Inko can be seen quickly moving quite hastily. Phone in one hand and her other hand gathering a jacket from the couch, she flips it on before saying, "Oh, of course! I'm so glad you're okay!"
"They say I'll be good to leave by tomorrow morning," Izuku says on the other end. He's dressed in his hospital gown standing by the window with a brand new smartphone.
"Well, don't you worry. Toshi and I will be there to see you right away."
"Toshi?" The green teen flinches. "Is All Might there?"
"Now now, he's not All Might anymore," she tells him, her voice still in a hurry. "And no. He's going to pick me up with Tsukauchi."
Strangely, that's relieving to the spider boy. At the same time, he's thankful for their development. It's a weird feeling he still can't pinpoint. "But mom, you don't need to break off work just to see me in the hospital."
"My baby boy just recovered from near death and was almost unmasked before the whole world as Spider-Man! Of course, I'm going to come to see you!" she retorts with her motherly authority. "Now, just sit tight. I'll be there shortly."
A defeated sigh coming loose, Izuku shrugs before saying, "Okay, I'll see you soon. Bye, mom."
"Bye, baby! Love you!" Inko then hangs up before adjusting the clothes on her person. "Time to go."
She walks to the door, reaching for the knob to grab it. Before she does, three knocks go off just as her fingertips are about to graze it. "Hm?" She grabs the knob and turns. "Must be Toshi. It's too early though…"
The door swings open. "Toshi?"
Back with Izuku, he hangs up on the phone before going over to the bed. His phone is tossed over, bouncing on the mattress, before he plops face up on the bed comfortably. "I gotta thank Momo for the new phone."
"You should thank her for more than that." Looking around at the new voice, I turn around to face this person.
He is that guy from before in my mind when I was trapped under Aldera. That means I'm inside of my head again. Are they just going to keep bringing me back to this landscape whenever they want?
"Hey, kiddo! Stop talking in yo head and speak! You got a mouth now!" he tells me, poking me in the forehead. He's rude.
You're…
"What, you forgot already? Damn!" He crosses his arms over his chest. "I'm the fifth wielder of One for All! The captain of funk!" He makes some weird symbol with his hand. It kind of looks like what I do to shoot webs. "Daigoro Banjo, at your shot!"
At my what? "I just came in ta check on you. You took some serious blows back there."
Well, now that I'm still healing and taking a break from all I had to go through, I was hoping to get a chance to speak with someone about what happened. When I broke free, I flew when I lifted the debris off of me and escaped that place. And then when I stole back my gear, these black things came out of my hands. How did I do that? I mean, not that I'm complaining since that did save me in the end, but it's concerning not knowing how that all happened.
"Oh, that's just something One for All does." He pokes himself in the forehead with his thumb. "Whenever someone passes on One for All, it doesn't just give over the stockpiled power. It also accumulates the user's Quirk. That black stuff was my Quirk, Black Whip!"
He shows me the black tendrils coming from his arms. "While you were using One for All to break free, you probably wanted to take back your items as quickly as possible. That caused my Quirk to manifest, allowing you to steal your shit back. It's a top grade Quirk used for capture and mobility, just like those fake webs you be using! If they could also shoot and stick to people's faces it'd be a perfect replacement!"
I see… so, this Quirk potentially has the power of five other Quirks as well as Black Whip and One for All, since the original just had One for All itself and All Might was Quirkless… but, why did it only manifest now? Why couldn't All-er, Yagi, and the others use the other Quirks?
"Fuck if I know! You should probably ask your genes." Now he's poking my forehead. "That number one guy told us that you'd be the one to finish One for All. He must have known you'd be perfectly compatible with it."
My genes?
"Don't annoy the boy." Wait, I know that voice. It's Nana. She's just floating down from above.
"Fine. You talk next, miss favorite." Banjo walks away, fading into the darkness.
Nana approaches me now. "I see Banjo explained what he needed to."
Just partially. How was I able to fly?
"That was me," she says, pointing to herself. "My Quirk is Float. It gives me levitation, or flight when coupled with One for All. You probably awoke it because you needed to escape and the only way out was up."
Oh! So then, I can fly? Does that mean I can combine this with One for All to push myself through the air and fly more effectively than All Might? Would I be able to keep myself levitated? Does it remove my weight so I can't lift things, or can I drag other things in the air with me and drop them on bad guys?
"I'm sure you'll have fun figuring it out." Nana pats my shoulder now. Did she understand anything I said? "Izuku, the point is that you can use the power of not just the power of eight previous owners, but also the six Quirks that were absorbed into One for All. They've been inside of this Olympic torch of a Quirk for so long they're empowered to their degree of power percentages. The higher you can wield One for All, the stronger they can become, but so long as you use One for All you can use those Quirks.
"Now, go on back. Keep your emotions steady and you'll be fine." She then walks away, turning her strong back to me.
But, you can't leave yet. I have to… do you know about Shimura? … she's gone.
And like that Izuku is back to reality, sitting up. He sighs before he lies on the bed; he'll have to ask her another time. It feels as if she left to intentionally avoid any mention of her son. She must know.
A knock on the door brings him out of his thoughts, and he turns around to flip off onto his feet. He then walks over to the door to open it, screaming out in pain suddenly. Looking down, he sees the chair that he accidentally walked into. 'Ow! Why didn't I see that coming? Wait, why didn't I? My spider-sense should have warned me about that.'
Putting that thought aside, for now, he opens the door, coming face to face with Shino Sosaki. "Oh, Mandalay."
An obvious sigh resounds from that. "Still can't remember, huh?" She steps inside and closes the door behind her, facing the thinly clothed spider boy. "How are you feeling, Izuku?"
He then proceeds to tell her that he'll be fine, ready for release tomorrow. "After stubbing my toe, I'm the best that I could be in 48 hours."
"Good. I'm glad that you'll be okay."
She takes a seat on the bed, the spider taking one to her right. "So, how is the investigation?"
"Not too well," she replies, the cat woman crossing her arms. "I spoke with Hitomi Yatsu's mother; she hasn't returned since she visited Tartarus to go see her father. I doubt she'll be returning now that she knows you can out her."
The boy leans back to face the ceiling. "Hitomi… how did things get like this?"
Shino keeps her eyes on him as he groans; to be betrayed by someone who was once your friend is not a good feeling. Maybe this is what Ryuko and the others felt when she became the Black Cat. She says, "Izuku, please don't feel bad. This isn't your fault."
"Momo said the same thing, but I don't know that. I don't know why she decided to become a villain, except that she hates me. She set a trap at our old school just to kill me and only me… how did things get so difficult?"
At that, the woman starts to see him differently. With all his sprinkles of maturity, adult-like physique, and impressive feats, she has completely forgotten that he's just a child being thrust into the world of adult heroics. It's situations like this that hero schools exist.
All she can do now is guide him.
"Izuku, you have to understand that the world is not as black and white as All Might makes it. There are always consequences you need to consider whenever you take action, regardless of whether it was your fault or not. Every one of the top ten heroes has that villain, a person on a narrow-minded path to your destruction; and the cruel irony is that they'll blame the heart of their problems onto you. You'll be the reason they're villains, and not even talking things out will sort your problems out."
Izuku looks at her as he takes this info in. "The opposite is true too; my hatred for Muscular has caused so many life changes that for a while I was okay with dying to kill him." His eyes watch her movements as she speaks. Last time she mentioned Muscular and poured her heart out to him, she mutilated herself. Now, she's so visibly unsure of herself.
"You must understand, Izuku, how powerful hatred is. Your friend hates you and doesn't intend to return to her old life, just like me." Her eyes become watery. "I had intended to end my life to destroy him every time, but you were there to stop me. You had saved me in a way Kouta couldn't."
Her hand sneaks on top of his, squeezing. "What can best override hatred is love, like my feelings for you."
"Oh." It then hits him. "Oh… EH?!" He almost jumps out of his seat, staring at the woman in shock. "You…"
"Your girlfriend gave me the green light to tell you my feelings." She now faces him, the tears now flowing down her face like a river and her face a bright red shade. It's not as bad as the tomato impression Izuku is sporting. "I've been in love with you for months, and it's painful to think about."
She grabs his hands and moves closer, as if about to pounce. "If I could keep you I would, but you have someone else to love you. Even worse, I couldn't just give up my revenge."
His hands break free allowing him to grab her shoulders. "Yes, you can."
"Can you?" she snaps. "Can you say that after you meet Shigaraki again? After he killed your father?!"
That's something Izuku had to stop at. It's something he has accepted but has yet to talk about. But, he refuses to speak about it, especially at a time where she needs his support to grow past this. "Yes, I would."
"Don't lie to me!"
"I may have blamed myself for Ochako's death, but I never once thought about getting revenge on Akaigan Ken. So neither should you."
"And…" Shino inhales deeply. "You would accept me if your girlfriend gave the okay?"
"She kind of already did…" he says, having already looked at the situation he's in.
"I'm serious!" Shaking is added for emphasis. "Would you truly accept me? Even though I'm as resentful as Hitomi; even though I might abandon you like I did Kouta once; even though I'm in my thirties and at least twice your age?"
That's a strong question for him to take. All he can do is answer as honestly as possible, just as his mother once told him – hopefully, that follows with adult women as well. Taking in a sigh to remove the red coloring on his face, Izuku speaks his mind. "I would, Shino."
Gasping, Shino holds her mouth. "You… said my name, finally…"
Getting himself ready to continue, Izuku clears his throat and says, "The most important people to me are those who were there for me in my hours of need. My mom, All- er, Yagi, Momo, and even Ochako. You were there when my father was killed and I desperately tried to bring him back to life and held me together when I shattered. So, I am going to do the same for you."
He takes her hand still on his. "I am a hero. Even if we can't be lovers, I'll still try to save you."
Unable to control herself anymore, Shino throws herself onto him in a hug. Her arms wrap around his neck. While holding her up, Izuku could hear her cries of sorrow. "Thank you, Deku…"
Over by the door, it opens up slowly. The two inside twist their heads to see Momo entering with a soft expression on her face. "Momo!" Izuku keeps his grasp onto Shino, knowing he couldn't despite the impending doom coming. His girlfriend can be surprisingly scary.
"It's okay, Izuku," she tells him, walking forward as Shino parts from him. "I was the one who convinced her to talk to you if you didn't realize."
"I kind of knew…"
The black cat faces Momo with a smile. "Momo Yaoyorozu, thank you for letting him accept this type of relationship."
"Is…" begins Izuku, "Is this okay? I mean-"
Momo sits next to him and touches a finger to his lips, silencing him. "Izuku, as I said, it's fine. No laws are forbidding polygamous relationships or marriages anymore, not since that time fifty years ago when a Quirk was discovered that drew multiple women to him. As long as all parties consent, you're allowed to be with me and her at the same time."
Flabbergasted, he asks, "Did you look that up?"
"I did," Shino tells him.
Turning to the adult, Momo asks, "Miss Shino, could you give me and Izuku some privacy? I need to talk about something personal."
"… okay…" Shino gets up and heads to the door. "I need to check in on Mirai and the others anyway; the Raid on the Shie Hassaikai has started." She takes out her phone and prepares to make her call, immense joy in her steps as obvious as her sweater puppets as big as Momo's, maybe even more so.
Now alone, Izuku faces Momo and vice-versa. "Wow. I can't believe you're completely okay with this situation. I was expecting you to be completely against it and jealous."
"Jealous?" She shakes her head, taking his hand. "Izuku, my darling, you know so little of me." The grip on his hand grows tighter. "Jealousy doesn't begin to cover how I feel about this!"
"… eh?" Only now does he see the vein bulging on her forehead.
"I've always been jealous of seeing you hang out with another girl, especially the ones who like you. I mean, I know you. I trust you to not cheat. But, that won't stop someone else from trying to take you away. Also," she glances back at the door, "I'm not the only person you saved who fell for you."
He lifts a finger, afraid to ask. Yet he does. "That should give you more reason not to then, right?"
Momo then faces him. "Izuku, there is a girl with spider powers similar to yours that goes into heat along with you every time you're together, and the only way to cure that is to have you two make a baby… and I accepted it. Bringing Shino into this may not be necessary, but we're already in for a penny. We might as well go for a pound."
"And… you're okay with me having a harem?" That anger vein pulsates. "… no?"
"You're not going to be piggish about it, are you?" Her hands place themselves on his shoulders. "Like, I don't need to remind you who your number one woman is or that I only allow those two to be with you, right?!"
Now he's terrified. "N-No! You're the one I love most-"
"Good!" She releases him, whatever rage inside of her now vanished like ghosts. "Good to know." Momo then gains an alluring look on her face before she leans into him. "Now to make sure you remember."
Calming down from his fear high, Izuku takes her from behind and brings Momo in for a kiss. Why wouldn't he welcome this distraction?
Outside in the hall, Shino is on call. "Your team just started, correct?"
"Yes. We're outside their base right now. When we begin, I need you to do us a favor…"
Elsewhere…
Taking a break from the regularly scheduled programming, over at the large compound of the Shie Hassaikai. Several cars stop in front of the building and its gated structure, police SWAT vans. These special weapons and tactics officers come out and stand together within a formation as the others inside the vehicles make their exit.
The first to step out is a rotund hero in a stretching yellow hoodie with a black mask. Next to him are Kirishima as Red Riot and the pointy-eared person who was with Eri before dressed in a hero costume, also known as Tamaki.
The next groups to exit vans are Sir Nighteye and his agency. This includes Bubble Girl and Centipeder, as well as another familiar face. He is Mirio, the blond person with a simplistic face who was also with Eri from before. Next to them is Aizawa in his hero gear, which is pretty much what he always wears.
The third group to come out is led by a woman. This blond lady in the red qipao possesses a fringe over her right eye, leaving only her yellow left eye exposed. She is followed by Tsuyu as Froppy, Camie as Mysterion, and the periwinkle girl Nejire from before.
Other heroes follow and form together before the compound. Adjusting himself, Sir Nighteye looks over at Mirio before back at the building in front of them as the police chief reads off the warrant. "It begins…"
Inside, Overhaul can be found staring down at an item in his hand. As he's about to make his move, the door to his laboratory opens. "I'm busy."
"B-Boss, we have a problem!"
"Whatever it is Mimic can wait."
"B-But, it's the heroes! They're coming!" Stopping for a moment, the Yakuza boss tsks.
"Send everyone to battle. Follow the plan." He gets up and moves quickly to the door.
…
Izuku stands tall facing the wall, his vision obscured by a red cloth. A nurse is behind him holding a book in her hands. Momo is on the bed watching. "Izuku, are you sure about this?"
"This is the only way to make sure," he tells her.
"I don't know," the woman says with a little worry. "I'm not used to beating up patients that haven't slept with my sister."
"Too much information," mutters the rich girl with narrow eyes.
Sighing, the nurse comes forth and swings the book across his head. The container of countless words slams him in the back of the head making him tilt to his left. She gasps, saying, "Are you okay?!"
"Y-Yes, thanks." He rubs his head before removing the blindfold. "You can go now."
"Uh, alright. Weirdoes." She walks away, handing over the book to the rich girl.
Looking over at her boyfriend, she asks, "Is it true then?"
"Yeah..." He walks over and takes a seat on the bed next to her. "My spider-sense is gone."
Kei: And that ends this chapter.
Julia: Is there a reason you're not that committed to doing the Raid?
Kei: Most of the hard work is already done. Eri is saved and one of the Precepts has been taken out. They don't need Izuku's help to defeat the Yakuza this time, because now they, in Star Wars terms, have the high ground.
Wanda: Let's not talk about Star Wars. I'm still upset about Episode IX. But speaking of which, the next chapter will have the altered parts of the Shie Hassaikai Raid shown as well as Overhaul's plan, plus part three of the Full Gauntlet Armor side story.
