Chapter Text

In an elementary school in Japan…

“ Class, we have a new transfer student from the UK”said the Elementary teacher.

Everyone in the classroom began to whisper amongst themselves, a young dark green haired boy with freckles felt that he getting poked in the arm and sees a light blonde haired little girl with light blue eyes,horns on the side of her head,a turtle shell, and a small reptile tail was poking him with a pencil.

“What do you think the UK is like?” the girl asks.

The boy was about to answer until the teacher waved her hand and a young dark-skinned boy with long black hair came in wearing a red shirt and black shorts. He noticeably had earrings in his ear and seemed a bit nervous.

“Everyone, this is Elijah Hendrix” said the teacher.

“E-ello”Elijah said nervously.

After class, the students headed to the playground. Elijah sat alone, watching the others play. His quiet observation was interrupted by two figures—a boy and a girl—walking up to him.

“I like your earrings,” the girl said, flashing a toothy grin that revealed tiny fangs. Elijah blinked in surprise.

“Y-yeah,” the boy beside her mumbled, clearly more nervous than Elijah.

“Is he okay?” Elijah asked, glancing at the boy.

“He’s fine,” the girl replied with a laugh. “He was just too shy to come over. I’m Bowsette Koopa, and this is Izuku Midoriya. Let’s be friends!” She extended her hand cheerfully.

Elijah hesitated but reached out to shake her hand. Before he could, their attention was drawn to a commotion nearby. A group of kids was ganging up on someone. Without hesitation, Izuku ran toward the scene, placing himself protectively between the bullies and their victim.

“Why are you bullying him, Kacchan?!” Izuku demanded, trembling slightly.

The leader of the group, a boy with spiky sandy-blonde hair and sharp red eyes, smirked. He wore a dark blue shirt, red shorts, and black sneakers.

“What’re you gonna do about it, Quirkless? Ask your little reptile friend for help?” he sneered, poking Izuku on the forehead as the other boys laughed.

Bowsette started to intervene, but before she could move, three of the bullies collapsed to the ground. Everyone froze, staring in shock.

“What just happ—mmph!” Kacchan began, only for his words to be muffled by a sticky web covering his mouth.

“You shouldn’t bully people,” Elijah said, stepping out from behind Izuku.

Kacchan’s eyes widened in fear, and he bolted, leaving his friends sprawled on the ground. Elijah sighed, turning back to find Izuku staring at him, wide-eyed and awestruck.

“That was amazing! What kind of Quirk was that? Are they okay? Were you able to shoot we—”

“Izuku, give him a moment,” Bowsette interrupted. “Sorry about him, but that was incredible!”

“Thanks,” Elijah said, scratching the back of his head. “My Quirk’s a mix of my mom’s spider abilities and my dad’s electric powers.”

“That’s so cool!” Izuku exclaimed.

The three spent the rest of the day together, playing and talking until the final bell rang. They gathered outside to wait for their parents.

“So your mom’s from Japan and your dad’s from the UK?” Izuku asked.

“Yeah, we moved here because of my older brother,” Elijah explained.

“Your brother gets to be a hero, like All Might. That’s what I’m going to be someday!” Izuku declared.

“Same here! I’ll be the number one hero!” Bowsette said, grinning confidently.

“Then that makes three of us,” Elijah said with a smile. “I want to be a hero like my uncle.”

Izuku extended his hand. “Then let’s make a pact. When we’re older, we’ll all be heroes together.”

Bowsette and Elijah exchanged a look, then placed their hands on top of Izuku’s.

“Wait, what about Jackie?” Bowsette suddenly asked.

“Oh no, I forgot about her!” Izuku said, panicking. Elijah chuckled.

“Who’s Jackie?” Elijah asked.

“She’s a year older and kind of weird, but she’s cool,” Bowsette explained.

“Elijah!” a voice called out.

“ Mummy” he said, turning around as did Izuku and Bowsette.

Bowsette and Izuku were shocked when they saw a young woman with short lavender hair that covered the right side of her face, had six pupiless monochromatic red eyes, and sharp pointed teeth. that wasn't what they were surprised about, She had a giant spider body connected to her with a skull design on the back. She was wearing a white button-up shirt and a black skirt.

“What?” Elijah asks both of them.

“(She might be bigger than papa)S-she’s very pretty” said Bowsette, cautiously.

“We'll see you tomorrow, Elijah” said Izuku.

Elijah will walk home hand in hand with his mom.

“How’d your first day go, sweetie?” she asked.

“ Pretty good, I made some new friends” he said with a smile.

End of chapter.

Chapter 2: Looking out for friends

Chapter Text

10 years later…

“Come on guys, it's over here” said Izuku with two people following behind him.

The first one behind him was Elijah who was now fourteen, had dreadlocks with lavender tips at the end, three piercings on both ears, a slim muscular build and wearing a plain black uniform with yellow buttons wearing red sneakers. The second person was Bowsette who had grown taller than Izuku but not taller than Elijah. Noticeably, her tail and shell had grown bigger, her hair had gotten longer to where she put it in a ponytail, blue earrings,and developed quite a slender figure for a girl her age.She was wearing a spiked choker around her neck, had a different uniform on but with a skirt and black leggings with brown knee length boots.

“Izuku, we really should leave, I’s gotta head to my school” said Bowsette.

“ I want to see how this villain attack will be handled!” said Izuku.

“ Aww, come on Bow, what's the worst that could-”

“ All of our parents get a call from the schools and are grounded” said Bowsette.

“Eh,live a little. being ground-”

“ Look!”Izuku pointed.

They arrive at the area where a giant villain that almost looks like a shark human hybrid screams in rage trying to scare people away.

“ Just need to get through here” said Izuku, squeezing his way into the crowd.

“ Excuse us just need to get through here” said Elijah with Bowsette following.

The three of them made it through the crowd seeing that they were held back by Backdraff and Death Arm making sure no debris hit any of the civilians while hearing about the villain stealing a purse and have grown big when he was cornered. They didn't see a hero enter the scene ready to stop the villain, a bunch of girls swoon when they saw who it was.

“ Look, it's Kamui wood! We’re your biggest fan!” the girls shout.

“He looks so cool!” said Bowsette in awe.

“He's alright” said Elijah, nonchalantly.

Kamui Wood is a young man with a rather muscular build wearing a wooden mask covering his whole face with holes for eyes, a dark blue bodysuit that includes a wooden belt, wooden knee pads, and wooden shoes.

“Get away from me or I'll break you, toothpick!” The giant criminal yells and tries to smack the hero away but he easily dodges with his wooden arms.

“ He may be new, but he's making a big name for himself!” said Izuku excitedly.

“ One look at that Dopey grin and I know what you are. A fanboy” said a man with three stars around his bald head.

“ Sort of” he said somewhat embarrassed.

Kamui Wood jumps to dodge the giant villain's hand and runs up the arm to throw an extending wood arm to the face, only to grab onto the villain's other arm and throw him around. The hero quickly detached himself from the villain and landed on a train cart.

“Assault, robbery, and illegal use of powers during rush hour traffic. You are the incarnation of evil” he declared and extended his arm into the wooden branches.

“ Izuku, isn't that his finishi-”

“ Come on, tree man. Show us somethin’ flashy!” the star headed man shouts.

“Preemitive Binding: Lacquered Chain Prison!”Kamui shouts, unleashing his special move to Trap the villain but suddenly…

“Canyon Canon!”Set a giant woman who entered the scene with a flying kick knocking the giant down and off the train track.

“Everyone was very surprised by the sudden appearance of Another Hero unexpectedly and took down the villain that Kamui was about to.

“Money shot, Money shot, money shot…” set up a bunch of fanboys who started taking pictures of the giant woman's figure.

“ What a bunch of dorks, good thing you guys aren't-”

Bowsette then turns and looks irritatedly at Elijah who had a camera out taking multiple pictures as Izuku laughs nervously.

“Piece of cake for the world's next hottest hero.Hi there, everyone.I'm Mt.Lady and you don't have to worry about this bum anymore” she said winking and the Fanboys took more pictures along with Elijah.

Bowsette puffed her cheeks, crossed her arms under her chest, and looked the other way to see Izuku writing in his book.

Mt.Lady is a curvaceous young woman who has purple eyes with white pupils and elegantly long eyelashes. She has prolonged, voluminous, creamy blonde hair reaching down to her waist with two shorter strands curled to her face, parted slightly to her right. Her superhero costume is a purple and pale tan colored skin type bodysuit, which is accented with orange stripes. The suit appears to have a pair of purple gloves with orange accents on the edge of the cuff with the design being similar to her boots which cut off at the thigh in a deep V shape. It also had three peculiar orange diamond shaped dots on the purple top that are located under her chest, and also wears a purple Domino mask with horn-like protrusion on the side.

“A show off just basically stole the spotlight” said Bowsette.

“ I don't mind if she stole my spotlight,hehe” said Elijah.

Bowsette tries to hit him with her tail but he is able to dodge immediately.
“ You're lucky, you have that tingle” said Bowsette.

“ You're still going to call it that? Just call it a spider sense” said Elijah who then noticed as everyone was gone except them and the old man.

“Gigantification, huh? Well, she's definitely got the looks and attitude to be a crowd favorite, and her Quirk is really showy but still kind of hard for her to get around much in the city without damaging Lotsa things. That means she has to be careful" Izuku muttered while writing in his notebook.

“Well, at least someone got something out of this” Bowsette smiled.

“ Make that two” said Elijah, waving his camera around until Bowsette knocked it out of his hand with her tail.

“My camera!” Elijah cries checking on it which luckily is okay.

“What's that, fanboy? You takin’ notes over there?” the star head man asks.

“ That's right, Izuku is the smartest guy I know, writing down everything he can and analyzing them to help him in the future” Elijah said, snapping his finger.

“Oh, so does that mean you three want to be heroes?” he asks.

Izuku looks away from his notebook and turns to smile at the man.

“Yes, more than anything!Three of us have the same exact dream” he answers, honestly which makes the other two smile.

Elijah then looks at his watch and realizes they only had 11 minutes to make it to their middle school and quickly grabs Izuku and Bowsette then hoists them over their shoulder which makes her blush and catches him by surprise.

“ Hate to cut this short but we got to run. Bow, I'll drop you off halfway” said Elijah, taking off with both in hand.

“ Good luck kids” said the old man, giving them a thumbs up.

Later at Aldera Junior High…

“So, as 3rd year students, it's time you start thinking seriously about your future and what you want to do with your lives. I could pass out some career aptitude test, but why bother?” The homeroom teacher chuckled and tossed the papers in the air.

“ I know you all want to go to the hero track!” The homeroom teacher smiled and most of the students showed off their Quirks. Elijah rolled his eyes while looking into his phone until he noticed Izuku shielding himself.

“ Yes, yes, you have some impressive Quirks. but no power usage allowed in school. Get a hold of yourself or it's detention” the homeroom teacher scolded.

“Hey, teach!” a boy called out.

“(And here it goes)” Elijah thought.

“I'm the real deal, but these guys will be lucky to end up as sidekicks to some busted D-lister” Katsuki mocks which causes most of his classmates to yell at him angrily.

“Huh. You've got impressive test results. Maybe you'll get the UA high” the homeroom teacher said, shocking the students as they all know you UA High is a great National School with an acceptance rate of 1%.

“That's exactly why it's the only place worthy of me” Katsuki said and stood on his desk.

“(I really don't want to hear his rant.Blah blah blah I'm the best, blah blah blah blah no one's on the same league is me, blah blah.He's been off his rocker since we were kids)” Elijah thought to himself.

“ Oh yeah, Hendrix and Midoriya wanna go to UA too,right?” The teacher recalled, shocking everyone that they wanted to go mainly the one without a Quirk.

“ That's right and before any of you say” don't you need a quirk?” UA got rid of that rule years ago so he could be the first to-”

Elijah was interrupted by Katsuki attacking Izuku's desk which irritates him and Bowsette.

“ Listen up, Deku! Even worse than these damn pathetic rejects, you Quirkless wannabe.You think they let someone like you and when they can have me?” Katsuki asks but then sees Elijah stand up with electricity sparking around him.

“Let go of him or you're going to go night night” Elijah smirked as ready to his hands.

“Hendrix! Bakugo! I said no power usage, do you want detention?” the teacher asks.

Later that day…
Izuku and Elijah were just hanging out until Elijah felt the buzzing in his pocket and sees that it's a video call from Bowsette answers showing her in front of her school gate.

“ There's my boys” said Bowsette, grinning from ear to ear.

“Pfft,uh.. we are not her boy-”
“ Yes, we are” said Elijah, padding Izuku on his back.
“Yeah, we are” said Izuku, agreeing.

“So, what do you guys want to do today? Maybe hit an arcade?” Bowsette asks.

“Don't you have to head home and watch Junior?” Elijah asks.

“ Argh,that's right.Tell me we can do something on Satur.. hang on a minute there's a guy in my way” she said putting the phone in her bag but the guys were able to see.

“Why in such a rush,Koopa-Hime?” he asks with a smile to irritates her.

“Izuku, another guy is about to ask out Bowsette” said Elijah.

“ Uh-oh”said Izuku, watching alongside him.

“ How about you and I go to a karaoke bar and-”

“Sorry, I have plans”said Bowsette who tried to move past but he refused to move.

“ Getting in her way” said Elijah.
"Was staring at her chest”Izuku adds.
“And was getting her way twice.This bloke might want to quit now”Elijah whispers.

“All I'm saying is-”

“ If you don't get out of my way in the next three seconds, I'll use my fire breath to roast your nuts.. three.. Two..-”

“ Okay, okay” he said, moving out of the way.

“Smart choice” she said walking away.

“Least he didn't end up like that last guy” Izuku sighed in relief.

“That day we learned that she can in fact, go inside of her shell and launch herself”said Elijah.

“I'm sorry you guys had to hear that” she said with a worried expression on her face.

“ No worries hear you reject every guy is entertaining” said Elijah.

“I have to go but I'll call you guys later” she said, hanging up the phone.

Izuku then goes to his phone and sees a bunch of reports on today's incident and begins to write it down in his notebook until Katsuki Bakugo takes it.

“Don't you have to be a cock somewhere else?” Elijah asks.

“Shut up! I don't know what you think your doin’ Deku but we're not done” said Katsuki.

“Was that you got? His diary?” One of his friends asks, mockingly.

“Oy, give him back his notebook… now” Elijah demands only for Katsuki to burn it then toss it out the window.

“ That's so mean” said a devastated Izuku.

“ Most first string-Heroes show potential early on. People look at them and just know they're destined for greatness, I'm going to be the only student from this garbage Junior High that's going to UA. Mainly because you and Godzilla with huge Tits let a Quirkless loser ride your coattails” said Katsuki walking away.

Elijah was about to confront him but his hand was grabbed by Izuku whose eyes were covered by shadows.

“Maybe there's a way of you becoming a hero after all. All you have to do is just take a Swan Dive off the roof of the building and maybe you'll have a Quirk in the next li-”

Katsuki is then interrupted by Elijah punching him in the face, sending him on the ground.

“You call this being a hero? All you're being is a first class wanker.You say that one more time… and I'll make sure Bow and Jackie know whatcha you said… and you of all people know those spikes on Bow's shell aren't for show”said Elijah.

Bakugo then walks away along with his friends leaving Izuku and Elijah alone.

“Why don't we go find that notebook of yours, huh?” Elijah suggests resting his arm over his shoulder.

“ Thanks Eli-kun” Izuku said with a weak smile.

“ Godzilla with huge tits? Wouldn't Gamera be a better insult,the nitwit” Elijah jokes, making Izuku laugh.

End of chapter.

Chapter 3: Training

Notes:

Chapter 3,wanted to introduce Elijah's family so their are some changes here and there.

Chapter Text

The two friends ended up walking home together after finding his notebook. Though he never admits it, not having a court and being mocked for it bothers him. Just as he was about to say something, Elijah gets a text on his phone from his mom telling him to hurry home.

“Izuku,I got to go but… if you want to talk about what happened tod-”

“ I know, see you tomorrow, Eli-kun” said Izuku.

Elijah then walks halfway until he looks around making sure the coast is clear and then jumps from rooftop to rooftop until he reaches his house. As he walked up the steps he noticed a familiar car and realized who it was. He then opens the door revealing a tall, fair skinned man with black hair, who looks to be about in his early twenties. One of the most notable features was that he had six pupil-less yellow eyes.

For Elijah could say anything, the man then rushed over and hugged him tightly.

“Eli!!” the man shouts, excitedly.

“ Cain… your… crushing… me”He says, gasping for air.

“Cain, you got to let him breathe”

“My bad” he said, letting him go.

Elijah then turns to see a woman with yellow- greenish hair with two bangs on each side and a wider bang going from the center of her forehead to the right.She was wearing a gray sweater with leggings underneath.

“Thank you,Moe,I honestly forgot what today was” said Elijah, getting up off the floor.

Just thena dark-skinned man with short black hair, a full beard, wearing a dress shirt and black pants walks into the room.

“ Did your mother forget to warn you Cain was here?” he asks.

“ Yep,most likely on purpose”said Elijah.

Minutes later…

Elijah was at a dinner table next to his older brother Cain who was a superhero named Scarlet Spider, his wife Moe superhero named Burnin, the youngest brother Michael, and their little sister Rachel, their dad sitting at the head of the table and then I'm sitting next to him.

“Soo Cain,hopefully you're not getting in too much trouble out there especially with-”

“Dear, you know Cain can take care of himself and if not we know that Moe will be there for him. Speaking of you two, have you ever thought about having a-”

“ Elijah, how was school,lil bro? I haven't heard from you in a minute” said Cain, nervously.

“Boring. Before that we saw Mt.Lady,Bakugo was bullying Izuku-”

“ I'm telling you, the boy just needs to hit him one good time and he'll leave him alone.Better yet, Elijah can web him up-”

“Oy, how does that help?” dad asks.

“But before that someone tried to ask Bowsette out again” Elijah adds.

“Weird thing to have a bunch of guys head on your girlfriend, bro”said Cain.

“Oy,not my girlfriend!!” Elijah shouts embarrassed.

“Suure, she isn’t ”said Rachnera as rolled her eyes along with everyone at the table.

“Well she could like Izuku,nerd over troublemaker”said Moe.

“Or maybe Eli likes that girl jackie, or that white haired girl,or the one he met at the music shop” Cain suggests.

“Oh boy look at the time, I think I hear Ember calling me to play something and Mom I think you were about to ask Cain and Moe something” he said putting his dishes away then going upstairs to his room.

His room was decorated with music posters and heroes, right next to his bed was his amp and a red electric guitar whose body was covered in band stickers.It's just as he was about to plug in his guitar, his cell phone begins to ring and he sees that he has 12 missed calls from Bowsette.He sighs then calls her back.

“Hey sor-”

“KEEP YOUR PHONE WITH YOU!!” she yells.

“Sorry, Cain and Moe we're over” he explains.

“Seriously? Hey, you think if I- nevermind Izuku was on TV! Apparently Bakugo was attacked by villain and he went to go save him but then All Might came in” she informs him.

“ Shocker, did you try calling him?” he asks.

“ I did, besides telling me everything that happened today with Kacchan, he said he was fine” said Bowsette.

“Well if he said he was fine then-”

“ Oh but you're not” she retorts.

“ Wait, what did I do?” he asks.

“ Gamera would be a better insult, huh?”she asks.

“It's not like I gave him the insult”said Elijah.

“Fine,so are you going to practice swinging saturday?” she asks.

“The best time to do it is in the morning unfortunately since I ain't a morning person but that's when there isn't much traffic and less people outside you 'member what happened the first time?” said Elijah.

Short Flashback…

Izuku and Bowsette were standing behind Elijah as he fired a web from his wrist onto a crane.

“So does your brother have organic webbing or is that just you?Also do you have to think about-”

“Izuku, my brother has to use web shooters because he doesn't have that ability and I don't try to think about it.I want you guys to record this as my first try” said Elijah.

“Don't you think you should have talked to your brother or mom about this since-”

“Where's the fun in that? Now,record” said Elijah.

Bowsette then press record on her phone and he swings off the ledge of the roof but then he forgot to let go and ended up crashing into wall bouncing off of a pole that was hanging from the building into some wires into another wall screaming all the way down hitting a sign and landing on the hood of a car then on the sidewalk.

“You okay?” Izuku asks.

“I'll be better once you delete that” he response then falls back on the ground in pain.

Flashback over…

“ I've gotten better since then but I still got to work on big buildings” said Elijah.

“Cool.Let me come with” she said.

“Nah, I like doing it-”

“I still got that video on my phone, I wonder how your mom would react if she saw it” she adds.

“ Be up at 6:00 a.m.” he said begrudgingly.

“Great, see you then” she said ending the call.
“ Koopa-hime”said Elijah as he plops onto his bed.

Two days later, Elijah goes over to Bowsette’s home which was a huge mansion, he jumps over the fence quite easily and begins to climb the wall all the way to her window and knocks. It then opens to reveal a somewhat tired Bowsette with her hair down all the way to her waist, wearing a black bear pajamas that stopped at her legs and the top zipper was somewhat open revealing a bit of her chest.

“Mornin' choom” said Elijah.

She rubs her eyes for a couple of minutes then stares at him then looks down and turns completely red in the face.Elijah then felt the spider sense go off and saw her charging up her fire breath and immediately got out of the way.

“Oy! What was that for?!” he asks but then notices the window was shut.

After a few minutes she opens up the window now wearing her hair in a ponytail, a black hoodie and gray jogging pants with matching shoes.

“ So you going to-”

“No. Now let's go” she said walking behind him and wrapping her arms around his neck which confuses him.

“ What are you doing?” he asks.

“You're going to swing us out of here aren't you?” she asks.

“You said you wanted to come along, I didn't think I was going to piggyback you while I was swingin' ”he retorts.

She was about to say something but then here's a knock at her door.

“Sweetie, everything okay?” ask a monstrous voice.

“ Everything's fine, Daddy” she said while signaling him to go.

“ Argh, you're lucky dad scares me. Hold on tight” said Elijah as he shot a web onto a nearby building and swung off.

He then went from building to building but made sure to be careful.He then turned to see Bowsette who looked amazed at what she was seeing until she saw the look on his face.

“ What?” she asks with noticeable red hints on her face.

“Enjoying yourself?” he asks smugly.

“ Well, you've definitely improved since hitting the wall… hey, look at Municipal beach”she said, pointing at it.

Elijah then looks to see something moving, he tries to make out what it is and desides to get a closer look and swings over. As they got closer they recognized that it was Izuku.

“Oy Izuku!!” Elijah shouts as he lands on part of the beach.

Izuku then turns around frantically then sees them walking up to him.

“G-Guys what are you doing here?” he asks.

“We should be asking you the same thing,Bruh.What are you doing on… the…” Elijah stopped talking as he turned his head to see All Might standing right next to Izuku.

Bowsette then turned and did the same.

“ I assume that they're friends of yours?”he asks.

“Yeah, that's Elijah and the girl next to him is Bowsette” said Izuku.

“(Okay, calm down and play it cool) S’up A.M.(Dammit not that cool)” Elijah thought.

“A pleasure to meet you young man” he responds.

“( Roll with it) Honor to meet a legend. Oy Bowsette, are you daft? Are you not going to say anything?” he asks.

“Uhm…Bow-”

“You! All Might! How?! Why?! When?! “She shouts frantically and shaking Izuku.

“ These are good questions” said Elijah, noticing Izuku sweating but then noticed the puff of smoke and saw a shriveled up skinny man.

“Eh? EH?! said Bowsette.

After a few minutes of explaining…

“That's awesome, Izuku! Don't worry, we won't tell anybody”said Elijah.

“But this is your training regimen? Don't you think this is a bit much?” Bowsette asks.

“Not to worry, he should be ready in 10 months for U.A’s exam” All Might reassures them.

“Well if that's the case, I'm going to start training intensely too. We'll have the same dream, so if he's working this hard, I'm going to as well” Elijah proclaims.

“ This means we won't have much time to hang out with each other but I agree” said Bowsette.

“ By the way, Are you two on a date?” Izuku asks,which makes Bowsette blush.

“ Of course not. I was just practicing swing in the city and she wanted to tag along. Plus you know how I am about Mt.Lady and my Ember, bet you they don't wear bear pajamas” said Elijah but then feels a Spider Sense go off but doesn't see any danger.

“ Uh..young man, your pants on fire” said All Might.

Elijah then looks below to see that his pants were in fact on fire and immediately runs into the ocean.

“Bow-chan”said Izuku.

“ StupidpervertedjerkmaybeI'llbreakthatpreciousEmberofyours” she mumbles,angrily.

After that, the three would train for the next couple of months. they would check in on each other during school but other than that they continued their training.While Izuku trained with All Might,Elijah trained with his dad on his electric powers on some days and trained with his mom on his webs.Bowsette which train with her father and her mother as well.Elijah was currently at his brother Cain’s apartment, where he was laid out on the couch while his brother sat on chair next to it.

“ Webs are hard” said Elijah, exhausted.

“ At least you have organic wedding,I have to make mine.That reminds me, have you thought about a superhero name?” he asks.

“Nope” he answers, which makes Cain sighs rubbing the space between his pupils.

“ You know can't use Prowler because uncle used that name” said Cain.

“Have you heard from Uncle Hobie?”he asks.

“I heard he went on tour and nothing else. All right,quite faffing around and let’s get back to swingin’.You got two more months of this”said Cain.

“ Fine”said Elijah, getting off the couch.

On the rooftop…

Both brothers stood there looking at the city from the ledge.

“ If you're not ready for this we can back ou-”

“ Izuku and Bo are training just as much as I am, so let's do this” said Elijah.

Cain then does a backflip off the ledge diving off of it then fires a web onto a building and swings away,Elijah then takes a deep breath, exhales, then jumps off the ledge too.

Chapter 4: One Step Closer

Chapter Text

8:40 a.m. at UA High School…

Bowsette was waiting leaning against a pillar until he sees Izuku running until he sees her and stops.

“ Well there's one now, where's the other?”she asks.

“Eli-kun… isn't here… yet?” Izuku asks, catching his breath.

“Right here!” Elijah shouts while walking over .

“ And the gangs are here”said Izuku,cheerfully.

“ Stupid Deku”

They all turn to see Bakugo wearing his school uniform and a scarf.

“ Kacchan” said Izuku.

“ Get out of my way now before I-”

“ Get another punch to the face?” Elijah asks.

“ Gets a tail whip to the balls?” Bowsette asks.

“Let's just all do our best guys” said Izuku while frantically waving his arms.

Bakugo walks past them continuing to make his way towards the building.

“Izuku’s right.Let's go out there and do our best, for our dream” said Elijah,putting your hand out there.

Bowsette and Izuku did the same and said” for our dream” then all made their way towards the building until Izuku trips and was minutes away from falling until he stopped in mid-fall.

“ Whoa there, you okay?”

Is it going to turn to see a brown haired girl with a pink scarf, brown jacket, black backpack, and a black skirt with leggings underneath next to him.

“I stopped with my quirk, I'm sorry I didn't ask first.I figured you wouldn't mind me catching you” said the girl to an aw struck Izuku which didn’t go unnoticed by Elijah.

“Is this all nerve-racking?” she asks.

“I..uh..I-”

“Well see you inside” said the girl waving at him as she walked away.

“ You know the first step Izuku is saying hi” said Elijah, elbowing his ribs playfully.

“You act like it's the first cute girl you’ve talk to” said Bowsette.

“ Because it is” said Izuku.

“What am I? A brick wall?”she asks.

“Guys, we can settle this later after the exam” said Elijah walking towards the building.

At the exam orientation…

“ What's up U.A. candidates? Thanks for tuning in to me, your school DJ. Come on and let me hear ya!” a man yells, getting no reaction.

“Being mellow, huh? That's fine I'll skip to the main show, let's talk about how this practical exam is going to go down okay? Are you ready?” said the man still not getting a reaction.

“ Oh my goodness, it's the voice hero, Present Mic. So cool, I listen to his radio show every day of the week.It's so crazy that all the UA teachers are pro heroes” said Izuku, gushing.

“Well at least this guy is getting a reaction from somebody”said Bowsette, sweatdrops then notices Elijah snickering.

”I know I shouldn't laugh but this guy getting no reaction is hilarious” Elijah thought to himself but then noticed a curious Bowsette at staring at him.

“ What were you laughing about?”she asks.

“ Nothing” he says quickly.

“ After I drop the mic here, you will all head to your specified battle centers, sound good?”Present Mic asks.

They all looked at their papers to see where they were.

“I see.They're splitting us up so we can't work with any of our friends” said Bakugo.

“Yeah, you're right. our examinee numbers are one after the other but we're assigned to different battle centers” said Izuku.

“Get your eyes off my card” said Bakugo.

“(Why did you sit next to us in the first place?)Elijah thought to himself.

“I'm in battle Center C. What about you guys?” Bowsette asks.

“I'm in D”said Elijah.

“ I'm in B” said Izuku.

“ Damn. I was looking forward to crushing all three of you” said Bakugo.

“Ignoring him, wish you guys good luck Izuku,Bo” said Elijah.

“ Same”said Bowsette.

“ Yeah, let's do our best”said Izuku.

Minutes later at Battle Center D…

Elijah now wearing workout gear along with some others we're all waiting for a signal to go ahead.

“ (All I gotta do is destroy some bots to earn points?No problem)”Elijah thought to himself and noticed everyone running and quickly did the same.

Elijah continues to run until his Spider sense goes off quickly back up to see a green robot coming out of the ground saying” Target acquired” which makes him smile and quickly gets out of the way and jumps on top of it hitting it with his electricity causing it to shut down.

“(The big ones are worth a lot of points so let's go for them) One down” he said as he swings away.

He continues to swing until he sees a bigger robot and quickly slams his fist on it’s head,crushing it with one hit.Turns around and sees another one and fires a weapon and its laser and he slides under it as it fires on itself.

“ That's three of them so that makes at leas-”

He is interrupted as he jumps backwards to see another one and quickly fires two webs from his wrist and launches himself into its body, completely crushing it. then electrocutes the one behind the destroyed one

“That should be at least 48 points” said Elijah as he crushed another one with ease.

“2 minutes remaining” said the announcer.

Just then a bigger robot from out of nowhere came in and destroyed one of the buildings,Elijah then saw that it was about to crush four people who were frozen in fear. Without so much of a thought, Elijah then fires off a self-made net out of his webs and throws it onto the four of them and Zips them out of danger.

“Might want to start running” said Elijah, making a break for it himself.

Elijah then feels a sharp pain in his eyes but quickly went away he then turned and believe that he saw a girl who needed help as one of her legs was stuck under the robot and quickly zipped over there and lifted it but then saw nobody there.

“Why am I supposed to be playing tricks on me, I should probably focus on-”

“And time up”said the announcer.

After the exam at a food restaurant…

“ You did what?!” both Elijah and Bowsette shout in unison until they noticed people staring at them and quickly apologize.

“ You're lucky recovery girl was there”said Bowsette.

“ I know but I didn't get any points which may mean-”

“ There's a good chance that we all may not get in. So don't get all mopey, mate” said Elijah.

“ Eli”

“I have an idea. When we all find out our results, will all meet up at my house” she said but then noticed the terrified look on their faces.

“I think it would be best if we met at a park or something-”

“Daddy scares you one time and you two are afraid to come over to my house” said Bowsette.

“She's right Izuku.I mean it was one sleepover years ago”said Elijah,shaking.

“He said he was sorry”said Bowsette.

Flashback…

9 year old Izuku,Elijah,and Bowsette and 10 year old Jackie we're just sleeping in Bowsette’s room until Izuku had wanted some water but was scared to go downstairs so he pokes Elijah then rubs his eyes and goes with him.

“Why did you need me in the first place?” he asks.

“It's quiet and scary here”said looking at the gothic looking decor.

“F- FairPoint let's just get the water an-”
“Now what are you boys doing out of bed?”

They both slowly turn around to see a gargantuan green monster with sharp,pointy teeth smiling at them.

“AHHHHH!!”They both scream running all the way into the backyard up a tree to a clubhouse as quickly as possible.

flashback over…

“You two stayed up that tree until your mom’s came to pick you both up.We always go over to Elijah's house even though his mom has skeletal arms and spider.. parts and your apartment,no fair” Bowsette pouts while crossing her arms and puffing her cheeks.

“ S-she has a point. Fine, we'll go over to your house when we get our results and then we'll share it all together, Izuku, you with me?” he asks.

“Y-yeah” he agreed, hesitantly.

“ Yay- I..uh I..mean it's cool whatever, well I got to go” she said walking out of the restaurant.

“ Don't worry if we see him I have a plan” said Elijah while winking at him.

a week later…

Elijah was just playing on his guitar coming up with a new song when all of a sudden he hears a knock at the door which opens to reveal Rachnera with an envelope in hand.

“ Is that-”

“ Yes, sweetie. It's the letter from UA” she said, handing it to him then walking out of the room.

Elijah then stares at it intensely but then decides to rip it open or a small thing felt on the ground revealed a holographic message with All Might.

“Booyah!! I am here as a projection now!” said All Might.

“So cool!”said Elijah.

“ You did pretty well on the written test and 58 points on the practical but not only that you also save the lives of students who are in danger so I am happy to say that you passed. Welcome Elijah”said All Might.

Elijah then jumped in the air but then put on a black T-shirt, Gray ripped up denim jeans, a black bag, and put on his red chucks. He then ran down the hallway sliding down the balcony rail, put on his coat and just before he left the house his mom liked him questionably.

“Where are you-”

“Got in, got to tell Izuku and Bo” he said quickly and closed the door.

Elijah then ran as fast as he possibly could but then web-slinged the rest of the way where he saw Izuku outside of the front gate.He lands near Izuku and looks at the house too. His face immediately went from smiling to frightened.

“ You want to go first?” Izuku asks, nervously smiling.

“S-sure” he said, ringing the bell on the gate.

“Who is it?” an unfamiliar voice asks.

“ W-we're here to see Bowsette” Elijah said, nervously.

“One second… all right you can come on through” set the voice as the gate opens.

They both then gulp and begin to walk all the way to the door. When they eventually make it there they are greeted by a short butler.

“ The young mistress waits for you upstairs-”

“ Izuku and Elijah, it's been too long, boys!”

They then hear footsteps coming around the corner to reveal the monster that scared them all those years ago.
“I-I-It's good to see you again Mr.K-K-Koopa” said Izuku, stuttering.

“It's been so long”said Elijah, whose knees were clearly shaking.

“ That it has” he said about reaching out to both of them until Elijah pulls something out of his bag.

“ EAT THIS,SUCKA!!!” Elijah yells, handing him a container which he opens to reveal a cooked steak.

“Hey! You did your research, I love steak!” he says, taking the container and walking into the kitchen.

Izuku then gave Elijah an intense stare of disbelief.

“ What?”he asks.

“That was your plan?” he asks.

“ As if we'd win against our best friend's dad, so bribe him. I don't see you coming up with a plan-”

“She hasn't come to greet you two yet? BOWSETTE!!”He yells, scaring the both of them until they see Bowsette wearing a black and gray sweater that stopped to her knees and wearing slippers.

“I was on my way down. Hey you guys are here!”she said, happily.

“ Well, I think I'll leave you kids to it”said Bowser, walking away.

“Well come on we're headed to my room” she said pulling both of them by their arms.

“ Is your brother here too or-”

“Mama and Junior are out shopping, so it's just us” she informs them.

Didn't stop at the third door where she opened it to reveal a gray room with white flower decorations on the walls, a table set in the middle of the room, a flat screen TV resting on a marble stand and in front of it a black leather couch.

“(Huh, it's different than I remember)” both Izuku and Elijah thought.

“Go ahead and sit at the table,the pizza should be here in a few” she said taking a seat.

They both sit on each side of the table, there was a bit of silence until Elijah clears his throat.

“So, who wants to go first?” he asks but then sees Izuku raises hand.

“I'll go.. I got in” said Izuku.

“That's great, Izuku!” said Bowsette,surprised.

“ Where to go mate! But how?” he asks.

“ Well I aced the written test, didn't get any points during the practical but got hero points for saving that girl”He explains.

“ I'll go next then, I got in as well” said Bowsette.

“That's great” Izuku said in awe.

“ Yeah I aced the written test and got 60 points in the practical” she said proudly.

“Well I'm really happy for you guys.. but I got some bad news”said Elijah which made the two of them look at him concerned.

“Eli…don't tell me you didn't”said Izuku.
“Oh no”said Bowsette, sadly.

“The bad news is that… I also got in” he said laughing.

“ Don't do that!” said Bowsette, puffingher cheeks.

“ So we're all going to UA” said Izuku,cheerfully.

“ That's riight” said Elijah but sees Izuku tearing up.

“ Come on, Izuku” said Bowsette, on the verge of crying.

“ Well don't expect me to start tearing up like you lot” said Elijah, looking away.

They then hear a knock at the door and see that it was one of the butlers with two pizzas. The three friends would then eat, play games and laugh the entire night. Izuku then left out to use the restroom leaving Bowsette and Elijah alone which made her blush a bit and fidget.

“ So, Eli-kun?”He asks.

“ What's up,Bowsie?” he asks.

“J-Just.. wondering.. have you..uh-”

“ If this is about you and Izuku?” he asks.

“ No it's about.. wait what?” she asks.

“Hey if you're going to make your move tonight just let me know and I'l-”

“ You think that I like Izuku?!” she asks.

“ I mean you got mad at him for not thinking you were cute and you turned down most of the guys at our school.I just assumed it was either him or bakugo but seeing as though he's a dick-”

“Izuku is like a brother to me, and I'm pretty sure he thinks the same” she said, crossing her arms.

“My mistake then”He said.

“ Well what about you? A-Are there any girls you like?” she mumbles with red hints on her cheeks.
“Hmm..I haven't given it much thought,I mean besides Mt. Lady… there was the girl at the guitar shop but my chances of running into her are slim…Jackie? Nah, I just like messing with her.Maybe at UA I'll start dating” said Elijah.

“You don't get it”she mumbles.

“Did you say something?” he asks.

“Nothing” she said.

“All right then. Well I got to go, I'll catch you guys later” walking out the door.

Bowsette then walked over to her window where she saw him swinging away and sighs.

“ All those girls yet… what will it take for you to actually see me?” she asks.

“ I'm sure he does, he probably just doesn't want to ruin your friendship “

She quickly turns around to see Izuku behind her waving.

“ How long have you been standing there? I won't get mad just answer” said Bowsette.

“When you started staring out your window.Why don't you tell him how you feel” he asks which made her turn completely red in the face.

“ Because…it’s…erm… complicated” she said, using her tail to cover her mouth.

“ If you say so,Bo-chan”Izuku said leaving the room.

End of chapter.

Chapter 5: First day

Chapter Text

It was now april, Elijah was dressed or in the UA High School uniform with a black backpack covered with sewed in patches of bands. As he was about to walk out the door, he then hears a clicking sound and turns to see Rachnera who then pulls him into a hug and kisses him on the cheek.

“My baby's first day of high school” she says,hugging him.

“Oy, come on Mom. I'm going to be late” said Elijah, trying to break free.

“ Lov, you got to let the boy get to school” said the dad.

“ Well in that case… make it worth my while?” she said, pulling him into a kiss.

“(Yep that's my cue to leave) thought Elijah quickly getting out of the house.

He's about halfway there until he saw a guy land in front of him beating up which could only mean one person, you then turns the corner and sees a Slender young woman with Fair skin, green eyes, long red hair with white highlights on the underside that goes past her hips. Noticeably she had a compass- like Halo hovering above her head and was wearing a UA uniform with a golden skull belt buckle on her waist, a black stockings under her skirt and black heel length boots.

“So, what did this guy do, Jackie?” he asks.

“ put an arm around my shoulder and said” why don't we go have a little fun” and you know how that goes” she explains then notices his uniform then went wide eyed.

“Took you long enough? Me and my mates are now attending UA with you. Like the old days” he explains and this is the shocked expression on her face.

“ Even Izuku?!”she asks.

“Yep” he answers.

“Crap..um.. Could you come with me for a minute?” she asks,looking away from him.

“ I got some time for class wh-” He is then cut off by her dragging him around the corner to an empty alleyway and making sure no one was watching. When she was done she then immediately walked over to him blushing and grab both of his hands.

“ Let's get something straight, I'm only doing this because I'm holding up our end of the bet..this means nothing “ she shouts as she puts one hand up her shirt grabbing her breast and the other on her butt, stunning Elijah.

“ A bet?What is she..oh wait”

4 days before the exam…

“So, all three of you are trying to get into UA like me? There's no way all three of you are going to get in” said Jackie over the phone.

“ You don't know that!” he shouts.

“ The chances of all three of you getting in is if one of you collected the Dragonballs or competed in the Holy Grail War or maybe just maybe...if Izuku gets geass” she said laughing.

“ Bet”said Elijah.

“Sure, how about this? If only one or two of you get in, you have to wear a girl's uniform on the first day” said Jackie.

“And what if I win and all three of us get in?” He asks.

“ Ha! Like it's actually going to happen but on a chance that it does… I'll let you live out your little fantasy of touching one of my boobs and my ass for three minutes ” she said.

“ You're going to look real stupid when it happens, mate” said Elijah.

“ And you're going to look hilarious when you're in that girl's uniform, I'll make sure to take plenty of pics. Bow-chan is gonna love seeing those” said Jackie.

Present time…

“(I was completely worn out from training, I honestly forgot about it) Elijah thought but then felt something stiff in his left palm and pinched it then heard a moan which made him realize what it was.

“H-hey.. that's enough.. we didn't agree to pinching” she said quickly moving away and fixing her shirt.

They both look at each other noticing the deep shades of red on their faces until Jackie runs away before turning back.

“If you tell anybody about this… I will have one of my minions smite you!” she shouts, running away.

“( Well.. that happened)I should probably get going as well” said Elijah making his way to UA.

Few minutes later…

Elijah was walking down the halls looking for his class, since UA was such a huge School he did get a little lost but found the right hallway.

“(Supposed to be looking for class 1-A, they said that classes were split between 20 students each but due to the high applicants this year, they made some exceptions, whatever that means) here it is and lucky me, I don't have to see the blonde jackass” said Elijah.

He opens the door and sees Bakugo with his feet up on the desk and a couple of other students talking.

“Hahaha…Me and my big mouth” said Elijah now looking disappointed but then notices a guy with short hair wearing glasses walk up to him.

“Good morning! My name is Tenya Iida Somei Private Academy and you?” he asks.

“Ello,names Elijah Hendrix” said Elijah who looks around, then he sees Bowsette sitting at a desk until she sees him and signals for him to sit next to her.

“Haven't been in the same class with each other since elementary, happy to see a familiar face” said Elijah, smiling.

She then blushes then turns away making him raise an eyebrow.

“Glad to be in the same class as you but what about Izuku?” she asks.

“ I'm sure he'll be here any-”
The door to the classroom opens to reveal Izuku who looks nervous and sees Bakugo arguing with Iida.

“And next Mt.Lady will come through the door…. eh, was worth a shot” said Elijah which made her chuckle.

“It's him” said Iida, which made everybody look at him.

“Should we-”

“ Nah,not like he's in trouble”said Elijah then stares at Bakugo.

Flashback..

“ I can't believe we have not won but 3 students from our school headed to UA and to think one of them is Midoriya, it's a miracle” said the teacher.

After the teacher's congratulations speech, Elijah separated from Izuku and started to look for him.Elijah went to the back of the school where they found Bakugo grabbing Izuku by the collar. He was about to rush in there but something told him not to.

“ What did you do to pass the exam? You Must Have Cheated somehow, right? It's bad enough I have to contend with Godzilla and arachne boy but then you had to go and make it four, I warned you not to apply!!”He shouts but then felt Izuku grab him by the arm.

“ Kacchan. Someone I look up to told me that I can become a hero. That's why I applied, that's why I'm going. Like it or not, you can't stop me” he said walking past him then sees Elijah around the corner.

“You didn't hear that, did you?” he asks.
“Heard what?Let's go or else Bow will die of hunger” he asks, which puts a smile on Izuku’s face.

Flashback over…

Elijah then sees a girl with purple hair who seemed familiar but just before he could put it together he sees a man wearing all black and holding a sleeping bag walk in.

“Hello I'm Shota Aizawa, I'm your teacher” said the man.

“ (Seriously, this bloke doesn't look like he gets any sleep)”Elijah thought to himself but then pulled out an outfit from his bag.

“Let's get to it,put these on and head outside” said Aizawa, noticing their blank expressions.

Minutes later everyone changed into theirUA workout clothes and headed out to the field where they see him waiting.

“What? Quirk assessment test?” all the students ask in unison.

“But orientation! We're going to miss it!” said the brown haired girl.

“ If you really want to make the big leagues, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies…Here at UA, we're not tethered to traditions.That means that I get to run my class however I see fit” he said making the students gasp.

“I thought Bakugo was a wanker” Elijah whispered to Bowsette.

“You've been taking standardized tests most of your lives. But you never got used to your Quirks in physical exams before. The country’s still trying to pretend we're all created equal but not letting those with the most power excel.It's not rational. One day, the Ministry of Education will learn.Bakugo, you managed to get the most points on the entrance exam, what was your farthest distance go with a softball when you we're in junior high?” he asks.

“ 67 meters, I think” he answers.

“ Right. Try doing it with your Quirk”

Bakugo then walks up to the mound.
“ Anything goes, just stay in the circle.Hurry up you're wasting our time” said Aizawa.

Bakugo is then handed a baseball, he winds up the pitch and then throws it but adds a bit of explosive Quirk to it.

“ Meh” said Elijah.

“ All of you need to learn your max capabilities. It's the most rational way of figuring out your potential as a Pro Hero” he said showing them a monitor showing 705 meters making them gasp.

“ Whoa, 705 meters, are you kidding me?” said one of the students.

“ I want to go! That looks like fun!” said the pink one.

“This is what I'm talkin’ about. Usin’ our quirks as much as we want” said another student.

“ So this looks fun, huh? You have 3 years here to become a hero. you think it's all going to be games and play time? Idiots. Today you'll be competing in eight physical tests to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none, and will be expelled immediately” he said, making them gasp.

“Doesn't put all that work in for nothing” said Elijah.

“ Like I said, I get to decide how this class runs. Understand? If that's a problem, you can head home right now “ said Aizawa.

“You can't send one of us home! I mean, we just got here.Even if it's the first day, that isn't fair” said the brown-haired girl.

“ And you think natural disasters are? Or power-hungry villains? Hm? Or catastrophic accidents that wipe out whole cities? No, the world is full of unfairness. It's a hero's job to try to combat that unfairness. If you want to be a pro, your gonna have to push yourself to the brink. For the next 3 years, UA will throw one terrible hardship after another at you. So, go beyond. Plus Ultra-Style.Show me it was no mistake that you're here” said Aizawa.

“(Let's get it)” Elijah thought to himself.

“ Now we're done wasting time, let the games begin”

The first test was a race and Bowsette paired with Elijah.

“ Wait, Eli-kun,Bow-chan, you're in this class,too?” Izuku asks.
“ You just noticed that?! they shout in unison but then focused on the race.

“ You don't seem that afraid of losing” said Bowsette.

“ Oh I won't be losing,mate ” said Elijah.

“ Go!” said the robot.

Bowsette turned around and saw him already at the robot.

“3.02 seconds” said the robot.

“ I must be having an off day” said Elijah, stretching until the girl walks up to him.

“ 5.06 seconds” said the robot as Bowsette passed it.

“ And eating her own words, Koopa-hime-”
“Finish that sentence.. and I will show the video”Bowsette said which made him comically zip up his mouth.

Sometime after Izuku was paired with Bakugo, Bakugo got a faster time then he did.

“ My power has more uses than anyone else’s in the school-”

“ Yeah if we need a building destroyed, we know who to call” said Elijah, which made some laugh.

“ I heard that,Brit!” said Bakugo angrily.

“ Oh, is that okay?” he asks, sarcastically.

“ Matter of fact, go jump off Manchester’s bridge” he retorts.

“ It's London Bridge,ya prick”said Elijah.

The next test was the grip test, they were all given grip meters and the stronger the grip, the more it would measure up.

“Mr Aizawa?” Elijah asks.

“ Yes?” he asks.

“ This machine won't break when I grip it, right?” he asks.

“I'm positive that it won't-”

“3,787.5 Kg, accurate” said Elijah.

After it was written down, he walks outside to see Bowsette with a smug look on her face.

“I got 320 kg” she said, smugly.

“ It's better than mine” he said, nervously but then noticing the worried look on Izuku.

The rest of the tests were pretty easy for Bowsette and Ejijah but it didn't go unnoticed that Izuku was struggling but then during the ball throw Izuku managed to get a good score but damaged his finger in the process. After some other test they were done and we're now waiting for the results.

“ All right, time to give you your results. I've ranked you from best to worst, you should probably have a good idea of your standing already.I'll just pull up the whole list, it's not worth going over each individual’s score” he informs them.

Izuku was struggling but then sees Elijah with an arm around him and Bowsette on the other side of him.

“Don't worry so much.I'm sure you did-”

The score then was shown with Elijah in third, Bowsette in 6th, Izuku in last place which put a horrified look on Bowsette and Izuku's faces.

“ And I was lying, nobody's going home” said Aizawa, which stuns everyone.

“What?”said Izuku and Bowsette in unison.

“That was just a rational deception to make sure you gave it your all in the tests” said Aizawa.

“ I'm surprised the rest of you didn't figure that out. I'm sorry, I guess I probably should have said something” said the girl next to Izuku.

“ Yeah you shou… Eli-kun?” Bowsette asks and notices him nervously sweating.

“How can I help you oh great, beautiful, and very forgiving fr-”

“ Enough boot licking. I promise to not punch in the face if you answer honestly. You knew the entire time, so why di-”

Before she could finish what she was going to ask, he disappeared without so much as leaving a trace.

“Tsk, he camouflaged himself. He is so getting punched”She said, angrily.

After school…
Elijah used his camouflage until he thought it was clear and made his way out the door only to see Bowsette waiting outside with a deadly look on her face.

“ Well today was my first and my last day of school-”

“ Psst.. over here”

He turns to see a petite, fair skinned, chin-length dark purple haired girl with a slender build, with triangular oxides with noticeably longer lashes and short eyebrows. The most prominent features are the flexible, plug light earphone jacks hanging from each of her ear lobes.

“Need some help getting away?” she asks.

End of chapter.

Chapter 6: Kyoka, Jiro

Notes:

A little short but here's chapter 6 revealing Jiro and Elijah's past

Chapter Text

“Need some help getting away? she asks.

“ Absolutely”said Elijah.

“Wait behind those bushes” she said walking away.

She goes up to Bowsette who looks at her questionably.

“ Hey if you're looking for that guy from earlier, I kind of heard something moving in class A few minutes ag-”

She didn't have time to finish her sentence as Bowsette ran as fast as she could back into the building. The girl then signaled for him to come out and quickly ran far away from UA and to a local park.

“ Thanks” said Elijah.

“ It was no problem” she said which made him look at her questionably until his eyes went wide.

“ Oh wow it's you” he said.

Flashback…
A 12-year-old Elijah was a bit lost and was wandering around in a mall.He tried asking for directions but most of the people in the mall were just ignoring him and continued walking.

“Where the bloody hell is this music shop? I should have waited for Uncle Holby”said Elijah but then noticed a girl about the same age with a bass guitar and walked over to her.

“Excuse me, I'm looking for a music shop in the mall but I can't seem to find it-”

“Just follow me” she said,showing him the way.

They end up at the music stop or as soon as you open the door you are greeted with a bunch of guitars on the right side and drums on the left but one of the more noticeable things was a red guitar in the middle of the shop. They didn't see a one with silver hair and orange eyes walk up to them.

“If it isn't my favorite customer and I see you brought a friend along with you” said the store owner.

“Actually this guy was lost looking for the shop” she explained but then saw him looking at the guitar in the glass case.

The guitar was a 6-string red and black warlock with golden color strings. Elijah looked at it and awe but then noticed the cashier behind him.

“ You've got a good eye, kid. That is-”
“ The Red Mamba which was owned by Waylend Jones of Aqua Knights. It's a Sacred Orphean, made after their second album because he smashed the old one on a villain's head” said Elijah, shocking the owner.

“ Kid knows his stuff. How do you know about this?” she asked.

“My uncle Hobie told me about it.He also told me to get it from you” said Elijah.

“Hobie…Oh you're his nephew, I thought you'd at least be… older.I don't know if I can trust something like this to a kid who thinks he can play” said the owner.

“Do you mind if I try it?” he asks.

“Normally I'd say no but your uncle recommended you so I guess it's all right but I'm telling you kid, you're better off starting off with cheap guitar” she said taking it out of the case.

She then plugs it up to an amp and gently hands it to Elijah and gives him a pick.

“Any request?” he asks.

“Surprise me” said the owner.

Elijah then tunes it then starts to play a rift which sounded a bit familiar to the owner but then started the hearing saying.

“I saw your friend first, that's who I danced with.All this time I was watchin’ you…The music rock this, our eyes locked -thus…Makin’ I see a Trippy picture shoo..Oh, if a man is considered guilty for what goes on in his mind, then give me the electric chair for all my future crimes”

“ Electric chair by Prince..” said the owner.

He continues to play for a couple of more minutes until he stops receiving applause from the owner and some of the customers that were in the shop.

“ Alright, The guitar is yours.Let me go give you its case” said the owner walking away.

Elijah then sees the girl come up to him.

“That was amazing, your voice and the guitar? Where did you learn to play like that?” she asks which made him smile.

“ I learned how to play for my uncle, he really got me into a lot of music especially when he played in the US” said Elijah rubbing the back of his head.

“ So are you going to be a musician in the future?” she asks.

“ Actually I want to be a hero but also play write songs and play concerts, what about you?” he asks.

“ I want to be a hero, and I don't think I can play as good as-”

“ A cool and cute girl like you could probably give me a run for my money if you decide to do both” he said which made her lighty blush.

“Elijah, right?It's all yours now, take good care of it” said the cashier coming out with its case.

“Thank you, I will” said Elijah with a toothy grin.

All of a sudden, Elijah then quickly put the guitar in its case and walked out of the shop halfway until he looked back.

“By the way, thank you for helping me find the shop” said Elijah.

Present time…

“Crazy, I didn't think we’d end up at the same school” said Elijah.

“ Bout as crazy as me saving you twice now?” she remarks with a smirk.

“Fair enough. Allow me to reintroduce myself then, I'm Elijah Hendrix” he said putting his hand out.

“ Kyoka,Jiro” she said, shaking his hand.

“ Well then Jiro, if you're not doing anything like to pay you back” he said.

“ What do you have in mind?” she asks which makes him smile.

Minutes later…

Elijah takes her to this pizza place that was nearest home.He had a slice of pepperoni while she had a slice of meat lovers,Jiro was hesitant to try it but then after one bite she immediately had sparkles in her eyes.

“You are not kidding, this pizza is amazing” said Jiro.

“ Yeah, me and the mates would usually meet up here”said Elijah.

“ So, you, the green-haired guy who broke his finger, and the blonde girl with a turtle shell and tail with spikes?” she asks.

“ Izuku, Bowsette, and we have another friend Jackie but she's a year older” he informs her.

“ I thought his name was Deku?”she asks.

“ No, that's just what the prick calls him, he has a nickname for all of us. Izuku is Deku, I get called a bunch of British names or spider names, Bow is called either Turtle girl, and Jackie gets called..nothing” said Elijah.

“He couldn't come up with anything for her?”Jiro asks.

“No, it's because he fancies her or Bow” said Elijah.

“Now I kind of want to see what happens if he sees her. So I got to ask, do you still have that guitar?” she asks.

“ Course, as if I’d sell a beauty like that” said Elijah.

“Good, well I should get going before my parents wonder where I'm at, we should do this again sometime and maybe next time, we can play together” said Jiro as she got up from her chair.

“Sounds good” said Elijah.

“Cool, give me your contact info” she said, pulling out her phone as did he.

“Well, see you at school tomorrow” said Jiro as she walked out the door.

With Bowsette…

“ So you didn't find him at all?” Jackie asks brushing Bowsette's hair.

“ I looked all over but I couldn't find him” she answers.

“ Maybe he has something else to do or he was with some-”

“ Other girl?!” she asks.

“Besides you and me?” he asks.

“Well there was that one girl from the guitar shop that he wouldn't stop talking about”said Bowsette, holding her tail.

“ Here's an idea, why don't you go over to his house tomorrow morning and ask him.I mean isn't he usually the one who comes over here to get you? Would be a nice change of pace if you took the initiative” Jackie suggest.

“I-I guess I could”said Bowsette.

Chapter 7: Morning Shenanigans and Costumes

Notes:

Chapter 7 is up with 8 coming soon

Chapter Text

The next morning, Bowsette stood outside Elijah's house. She hesitantly attempts to knock at the door but then decides to try to walk away until she hears someone open it.She turns to see it was Elijah's father who opened it and looks at her a bit confused.

“ UH..Hello Mr. Hendrix,I came to get Elijah for school” she informs him.

“Well don't just stand there, come on in.He just got out of the shower and went back to bed” he said but then notices her walking very robotically into the house and up the stairs.

She makes her way halfway until she sees his mother.

“ H-Hello Mrs.Hendrix-”

“There's no reason to be nervous, dear. His room is just on the left and to be mindful not to make too much noise” she said which made steam come out of Bowsette's ears and her face turned completely red.

Rachnera chuckles and then walks away.Bowsette then shakes it off and continues until she's in front of the door, she then feels her heartbeat incredibly fast and slowly knocks on the door but no one answers. She gulps and slowly puts her hand up and twists it, opening the door revealing the room covered in graffiti, band posters, and a guitar leaning next to a leather chair with a footrest.She looks at Elijah laying in bed only wearing part of his uniform pants and black chucks.She took a long look at his pecs and abs but then stared at his lips until she's snapped out of it and walks over to his bed.

“ Eli-kun, time to wake up” she said gently, pushing him but then heard an alarm going off right next to her.

Elijah then reached out to turn it off but instead accidentally grabbed one of Bowsette’s breasts. He then squeezed which made her let out a moan.

“Eli-kun! you perv!”She said, delivering a slap to the face.

Elijah then wakes up and notices the alarm clock going off, Bowsette blushing and covering up her chest, looks at his hand and then goes wide-eyed.
“This is the second time this has happened and hers are bigger than… bullocks” he said covering his mouth.

“Whose others have you grabbed?” Bowsette, cracking her knuckles.

“ Uhh..Hey what are you doing in my room and also watching me while I sleep?” he asks.

“ I wasn't.. I kind of did-”

“ If you don't mind leaving my room so I can put on my shirt Ms I like a peep show” he said pushing her out of the room.

“ I really wasn't trying to…. misdirection you shithead” said Bowsette.

After a few minutes, the door opens with Elijah rushing out of the room, down the stairs, grabbing his breakfast, and running out the door with Bowsette behind him.

“Repeat what you said this morning” she demands running after him.

“ I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just running to get Izuku”said Elijah.

He makes it to the apartment complex where he sees Izuku at the stop sign who then sees them and smiles.

“ Hey guys what's the-”

“ No time, we got to run” he said, quickly grabbing him and throwing him over his shoulder.

“Eli-kun, what's going on?” asks a confused Izuku.

“ Well.. I woke up and accidentally grabbed Bow’s..ahem anyway, I accidentally said something I was supposed to keep secret and well here we are” said Elijah.

“ Why not just tell her what you said?” he asks.

“ Cuz then she's going to kick my ass, then the other person's going to kick my ass, that's two ass kickings for the price of one and I am not a gambling man”said Elijah.

They eventually made it into the building and quickly took their seats, Bowsette was about to ask again until the Bell rang and everybody took their seats.

“This isn't over” she said, taking her seat and glaring at him.

At lunch..

Izuku was getting lunch with Elijah and decided to sit with the brown-haired girl from yesterday and the guy with glasses.

“ I didn't get a chance to introduce myself, I'm Ochaco Uraraka” said the girl.

“Elijah Hendrix” he said sitting next to Izuku.

“That accent… are you from England?” she asks.

“Born and raised till we moved here where I met Izuku and-” he didn't get a chance to finish his sentence as a tray is slammed next to him and he turns to see him angry Bowsette.

“ Me, Bowsette Koopa” she said, staring intensely and Elijah who nervously whistles.

“Don't you think you should ju-”

“It's up to Elijah cuz all this can go away if he answers who’s-”
“ Man, the food here is amazing! Can you believe the cook hero, lunch rush made this?”he asks, noticing lunch rush was about to walk away until he heard that.

“ On today's menu was white rice, it's the perfect comfort food isn't it?” he asks as Izuku whimpers,Tenya gasps, and Bowsette eats her food in anger.

“It's a super good” said Uraraka.
After that it was hero basic training.

“I am here, coming through the door like a hero!”

Everyone in class then sees All Might coming through the door wearing his old costume that he used to wear making all the students gasp.

“ I can't believe it's really All Might” said one of the students.

“ So he is a teacher! This year is going to be totally awesome!” said another student.

“ Hey, look. Is he wearing his silver age costume?” said another student.

“ Meh, I never liked capes” Elijah thought to himself.

“ Welcome to the most important class at UA High. Think of it as” Hero-ing 101”.Here, you will learn the basics of being a pro and what it means to fight in the name of good! Let's get into it, Today's lesson will pull no punches!” said All Might.

“ Fight training” said Bakugo.

“Perfect timing” said Bowsette, looking at Elijah.

“ But one of the keys of being a hero is.. looking good” he said pulling out a card which made the cabinets open up with a bunch of numbered cases inside them.

“ These were designed for you based on your Quirk registration forms and the request you sent in before school started.

“ Oh yeah I forgot all about that” Elijah thought to himself.

End of Chapter.

Chapter 8: Elijah vs Bowsette

Notes:

I made some small changes for story reasons

Chapter Text

Minutes later at training ground beta..

It didn't take everyone long before they all changed and walked out.

“They say the clothes make the pros, young ladies and gentlemen and behold you are the proof, take this to heart from now on you are all heroes in training”said All Might.

“Hearing him say that got me pumped” Elijah thought to himself.

“This is getting me all revved up, you all look so cool! Now, Shall We get started, you bunch of newbies?” All Might asks.

Elijah came out in a red black and blue spider suit, noticeably he had a huge spiked mohawk on the top of his head, spiked cufflinks on the wrist, a hood with holes on it so the spice can go through, a black vest with buttons and spikes on it,a metal punk rock belt, and red chucks ( imagine a combination of Miles 2099 suit and both spiderpunks outfits from the comic and across the spiderverse,).

“So hot”

Elijah turns around to see Bowsette wearing a open long sleeve black jumpsuit with stocking like edges, knee pack around her right thigh and boots that sport metal heels and toes.Noticeably she was wearing a skull like mask that hides her face.

“Costume looks really-” he begins to say but then she walks away from him leaving him confused but then sees Izuku run out wearing a light green full-body jumpsuit with a red belt, elbow pads, knee pads, and gloves along with his signature red boots.Noticeably he was wearing a mask with long ear-like protrusions and a respirator if they makeshift smile on it.

“Your costume is awesome, Izuku” said Elijah.

“Forget about mine what about yours, how are the eyes moving?” he asks.

“It's a way to show facial expressions while I'm wearing the mask. It also has some other features” said Elijah.

“Hey Deku!I love your costume! Not too flashy, you know?” said Uraraka, going over to them.

Uraraka’s costume consists of a black, full body suit with a pale pink design down to the middle of her torso topped with two black semi- spheres on her chest, pink stripes starting at her midsection, 18 pink choker, and two- toned pink sleeves with cuffs.It also included round pink gauntlets with handles, chunky, knee-high boots, and a two-piece belt with a round buckle. on her face was a matching headgear with a tinted visor.

“I should have been more specific about what I wanted, like Hendrix-kun.This bodysuit is skintight, not really my style” she said.

“I love this school” said a kid in a purple and yellow outfit.

“Now that you're ready, it's time for combat training”siad All Might.

“Sir,This is the fake City from our entrance exam.Does that mean that we’ll be conducting Urban battles again?” Iida asks Iida.

“Not quite. I'm going to move you two steps ahead. Most of the villain fights you see on the news take place outside. However, statistically speaking, running with the most dastardly evil doers take place indoors.Think about it.Backroom deals, home invasions, secret underground lairs.Truly intelligent criminals stay hidden in the shadows, for this training exercise you'll be split into teams of good guys and bad guys and fight two on two indoor battles” he explains.

“Isn't this a little advanced?” ask one of the students wearing a green hero costume.

“The best training is what you get on the battlefield!But remember you can't just punch a robot this time, you're dealing with actual people now”said All Might.

“Sir, will you be the one deciding who wins?” a girl in red asks.

“How much can we hurt the other team?” Bakugo asks.

“I am also curious about that question” said Bowsette.

“Do we need to worry about the losers getting expelled like earlier?”Uraraka asks.

“Will you be splitting us up based on chance or comparative skill?” Iida asks.

“I wasn't finished talking!” All Might growls.

He then pulls out a small book and looks through it.

“ A script? I would have just winged It” Elijah thought to himself.

“ Listen up, the situation is this. The villains have hidden a nuclear missile somewhere in their hideout.The heroes must try to foil their plans.To do that, the good guys either have to catch that you will doers or recover the weapon.Likewise, the bad guys succeed if they protect their payload or capture the heroes” he informs them.

“Sounds like a classic action movie setup”said Izuku.

“Or an old video game”Elijah adds.

“Sometimes Limited and will choose teams by drawing Lots” said All Might holding a box with a hole on top.

“Isn't there a better-”Lida was about to ask before he saw Elijah walk up to All Might and put his hand in the box then noticing the look on some of their faces.

“You heard the man. we don't have much time”said Elijah pulling out one that said C.

as he waited for everyone else to draw he then sees a tall girl with long black hair tied into a spiky ponytail with a large strand hanging on the right side of her face.Her hero costume consists of a high collard, sleeveless Crimson leotard with silver lines at her waist and around her arms, which is open to expose her skin from her neck to her navel. She also wore calf length red boots with heels.

“My name is Momo Yaoyorozu, will be teaming together” she said, putting her hand out.

“Elijah Hendrix but you can call me Elijah or Eli” he said shaking your hand.
“I declared the first teams to fight will be… these guys!”All Might shouts pulling out two balls one with the letter d and another with the letter A.

“Well, fate can be a cruel bitch” Elijah thought to himself.

“Team a will be the heroes, team d will be the villains. Everyone else can head to the monitoring room to watch!” he shouts.

“ Yes sir!” said the class making their way over there but Elijah stops for a minute and walks over to Izuku.

“You're going to have to face them eventually and on the plus side, you get to hit him one good time though if you want my recommendation… go for the job because then we all don't have to hear him talk for a while” he said walking away.

They watch from the monitors that Izuku’s team goes in but is quickly attacked by Bakugo but luckily Izuku dodged while also saving Uraraka.

“Sneak attack, Bakugo?What kind of man pulls cheap crap like that?” one of the students asks.

“It's a viable strategy.He's playing the part and acting like a true villain would”said All Might.

Elijah was watching until he notices Bowsette come up to him staring at him intensely.

“How long can you keep your camouflage up?” she asks.

“I'm not going to get involved in this,Bow”said Elijah.

“He's our friend-”

“That's exactly why I'm not getting involved.We can't keep protecting him.He's got to learn to fight his own battles, and it doesn't matter if he wins or loses because we're going to be there for him” said Elijah which irritates her and she walks away.

Bakugo then rushes at Izuku but he turns it into a judo throw slamming him to the ground catching everyone off guard except for Elijah.

“Kacchan, you always use a big right hook to start a fight. I know because I watched you for years. I analyzed every amazing hero, even you. I wanted to learn everything I could about them. it was all in the notebook you burned and threw away. You can call me Deku, but I'm not the same helpless, defenseless kid anymore! You hear me? I've changed.. from now on, Deku it was the name of a hero!”Izuku proclaims.

“ Taking what he used to make fun of you and using it for your own purposes.. cool” Elijah thought to himself.

“ Deku… you're shaking in your boots, you're so scared…but you want to fight me anyway…That's why I hate you!” Bakugo yells.

( writers intermission, I will not be covering this entire fight just wanted to cover this part since it was really important so I'm just going to skip all of that).
Izuku’s team won when he punched a hole through the ceiling giving Uraraka a chance to grab a pillar hitting a bunch of debris at Iida which gives her an opportunity to grab the device.

“I knew he could do it” Elijah thought to himself.

“The hero team wins!!” said All Might.

“ What a weird way for this to end. The losers are practically untouched and the winners both on the ground”said one of the students.

“ How does the old saying go? They may have lost the battle but they won the war” said the student with the Crow's head.

“ I couldn't have put it better myself”said Elijah.

“ This class is intense” said the student in green.

Izuku was then taken to recovery girl while the rest of the students returned to the control room where they all watch the fight. Uraraka sighs but then notice Elijah walked up to her and pulled his mask up.
“ Good work out there” he said, giving her a thumbs up.

“ Thanks, Eli-kun” she said, giving him a thumbs up as well.

“How could I have failed” said Lida.

“I don't beat yourself up, mate. You took the role more seriously than anyone else out there” said Elijah which cheers him up a bit but then everyone notices All Might coming into the room.

“ The MVP of this battle is Lida!!” he said, shocking everyone.

“Not Ochako or Midoriya? Even though they won? the student in green asks.

“ Can someone explain why?” All Might asks.

“ I do! Professor All Might!” said Momo who then gave a full description that izuku and bakugo acted on impulse and personal Grudge, Uraraka lost focus mid battle but Lida was the only one who took the roll seriously and thought of a strategy in an instant.

The whole room went silent after she explained.

“ Glad I got paired with her” Elijah thought to himself.

“ Yes.. well, you overlooked a few things. Young Lida could have relaxed a bit more in the exercise, but otherwise you nailed it!” said All Might.

“One should always start with the basics and devote themselves wholeheartedly to learning. That's the only way to become a top hero” she explains.

“ Well…she's a stick in the mud” Elijah thought to himself.

“Now then. Time to blow this joint, let's move on to the next match! Think about everything we saw and discussed as you tackle training for yourself” said All Might.

“Yes sir” said the students.

The next round was a boy named Todoroki, he didn't need a partner since he froze the entire building.

“ I-I-It's so cold” said Uraraka, shivering.

“ Didn't have to freeze the entire bloody building!!”Elijah yells.

The next match, Was Elijah and Momo versus Bowsette and the purple guy, when she heard this, she smiled and walked away with the purple guy.

“ So Momo, right? let's talk strategy once we're inside” said Elijah as he walked away with her but then heard two voices.

“ Good luck, Eli-kun” said Uraraka.

“Remember to act villainous”said Lida.

“ Ohh, I plan to”said Elijah as put his mask fully on.

Inside the building…

“All right, I don't know much about the purple guy but I do know Bowsette and everything her quirk can do” said Elijah.

“ What can she do exactly?” she asks.

“ For starters her shell, she can shoot the spikes off her shell as a weapon, she can go inside of it and chuck herself at people.Then there's her nails which are razor sharp, and she has a fire breath and that's all coming from her dad's side of the family” said Elijah.

“ What about her mother’s?” she asks.

“ Not 100% sure but I know how to get into Bowsie's head, you can just leave all that to me while you focus on guarding.I don't know what the little trolls quirk is but be on guard” said Elijah who then goes into camouflage and jumps onto the wall.

Elijah continues the crawl until he notices both of them on the second floor walking up the stairs.

“I don't know much about the girl, but you might want to be careful with Elijah.He may seem like a lazy, rude, British jackass but he's actually really intelligent.His Quirk let him have a lot of abilities of a spider, the most annoying being his Spider Sense which let's him know when he's in danger.He also has electric powers so be careful of-” she stopped mid-sentence when she caught him checking out her butt and grabbed him then turned around and gave him a death glare.

“ You might want to take this seriously because he's-”

“ Right above you, what's up Heroes?” he asks, jumping down which makes her smile and the purple one hides behind her leg.

“ Should have kept yourself hidden” said Bowsette.

“ All but then I wouldn't have a chance to mess with you…Gamera”said Elijah which made her growled as a tick mark formed on her head.

“I'm going to give you a minute to think about your words very-”

“( got to push a little further) You're right maybe I should make blonde jokes.. nah,Bakugo already gives you guys a bad rep, or I could leg it back but I want to give you at least a chance to catch me I mean with that heavy shell of yours, there be no chance” said Elijah just made her growl more and added a second tick mark on her head.

“Keep calm... he's just.. playing a role”she told herself.

In the monitoring room..

“ Koopa-san seems mad. I see he's making her angry ” said one of the students.

“ But why?”The student with the spiky red hair asks.

“ To distract her” said All Might.

Back in the building…

“(Okay, time for the final step)What's the matter, Koopa-hime?Are we still thinking about this mornin’ ?” said Elijah which caught her attention.

“ Shut up! T-This isn't the-”
“(Okay, gotta think of something on the Fly.. oh I know)You know what Izuku told me about you know, it's honestly funny, to think that-” Elijah doesn't get a chance to finish this sentence because which is spider sense goes off as he sees her jump out and quickly moves out of the way.

“ I’M GONNA DESTROY YOU!!!”She roars, charging at him in a blind rage.

Elijah then leave from wall to wall down the stairs with her following in pursuit, he looks back to see her eyes were completely red with rage and then goes into her shell and tries to hit him but he quickly dodges out of the way.

“Hendrix-kun, I've captured Mineta and we've got 3 minutes left” said Momo.

“( Okay, all I gotta do is distract her for another 3 minutest)" he thought himself dodging most of her attacks until she fired her spikes off her shell which one of them ended up hitting in the arm.

He then falls to the ground but quickly gets on his feet holding his arm and she went back to her normal form.

“ Nowhere left to run” she said, readying her sharp nails.

“Before you finish me off, can I just say one last thing?” he asks.

“ What?” she asked but then saw him walking over to her and grabbed her shoulder.

“You do remember this is timed,yeah ?” Elijah asks, confusing her until she remembered but it was too late.

“ The villains win this round” said All Might.

“Ha! Oh, come on Bowsie, I was just playing a-”

“ Izuku didn't really tell you anything, did he?” she asks, grabbing her tail.

“Hm? Nah, I just made all that up. So are we-”but he's cut off when he notices her walking away.

After the other tests…

“That's a wrap! super work! you really stepped up to the plate and we had no major injuries except for Midoriya.You should be proud” said All Might.

“It's nice encouraging words after our homeroom class… Mr Aizawa was kind of a buzzkill” said the student in green.

“I'm happy to bring such staggering positivity to my alma mater! That's all for now, folks.I should go and check on Young Midoriya’s progress! Now watch our Pro exits.Like he's got somewhere to be!” He says running incredibly fast.

After that, afternoon classes went by.On their final class was a study period, leading to most of the students talking amongst themselves except for Elijah who put in his headphones and put his feet on the desk until the girl with dark green hair walked up to him which made him take out his headphones.

“Didn't mean to disturb you, but I wanted to say your match was pretty cool, my name is Tsuyu Asui, but just call me Tsu” said the girl.

“Elijah but you could just call me Eli or whatever” he said but then noticed others coming around.

“Hey, I'm Mina Shido, and your accent is cool!” she said.

“So I've been told”said Elijah who then notices that irritated Bowsette had on her face until she noticed a bunch of boys walk out and introduce themselves as well.

The first one was Eijiro Kirishima, the second was Hanta Sero,The both of them were surrounded until Izuku came in with his arm in a sling but everybody went to go talk to him. Elijah then notice Jiro walk up to him along with a student with a crows face who sat on a desk in front of his.

“Crowds aren't your thing?” he asks.

“ You guess right,Elijah” he said introducing himself.

“ Tokoyami.. it's so noisy-” he said but then is interrupted when he sees Lida.

“Hendrix, take out your headphones and take your feet off the desk.Tokoyami, stop using that desk as a chair! Get off of it this instant!” he demands.

“ Dude, you need to chill” said Jiro.

“ You're carrying a lot of tension” said the blonde haired student with a tail.

“ No one understands.I cannot condone actions that disrespect these desks, not when great men and women, are upperclassmen, once used!” said Lida.

“Also noisy”said Tokoyami.

“He's not wrong”said Elijah then notices Bowsette walking out of the classroom, but then feels his phone buzz and sees he has a message.

Elijah then got off from his desk but his hands in his pocket and walked out of the classroom and saw Bowsette looking out of the window.

“So you wanted to talk?” Elijah asks which caught her attention.

“I'll forgive you for this morning and for what you said during the training if you do something for me” said Bowsette.

“Alright, name it” said Elijah.

“ I want you to…uh…take..m-” she is cut off by Izuku running and bumping into Elijah's arm.

“ Oh sorry Eli-kun, I gotta go stop Kacchan from leaving” he said running away which made the both of them look at each other then catch up to him.

“Why?” they both asks in unison.

“He thinks I was hiding my power the entire time so I gotta tell him where I got my-”

“Are you insane?!”Bowsette asks.

“ His ego is hurt and you want to tell a secret that All Might trusted you with? I don't think you understand the whole situation, let me go talk to him well you two just watch ” said Elijah.

“ You will?”Izuku asks.

“ I think that's a bad idea”said Bowsette.

“ Maybe”said Elijah walking ahead of them.

Elijah then saw Bakugo walking away very slowly.

“Oy!” he yells, catching his attention.

“What?” he answers.

Elijah notices Izuku and Bowsette hiding in the doorway and winks at them then walks over to Bakugo.

“How do you think this is going to go?” Izuku whispers to Bowsette.

“ It's Eli-kun soo, I don't have a clue” she responds.

“ Man you did a number on Izuku, you probably would have won if he hadn't pulled that last minute move”said Elijah.

“Is this going anywhere?” he growls.

“It is. Saw the look on your face earlier and I know what you're feeling right now.Not only are you mad that you lost to Izuku but also because your ego got put in its place”said Elijah.

“You think I don't know that?! When I was watching that ice guy, I realized I could beat him in a head to head fight, I probably couldn't even beat Turtle girl. Crap! I even agreed with what the girl said, my attack was so stupid! Damn it!” he said, gripping his fist.

“ They're going to improve in time and you feel that- “

“Give a message to Deku, enjoy his win because he won't get another! I'm just getting started! Got that?! I'm going to end up the number one hero, no matter what! He'll never beat me again, the bastard” he said walking away as Elijah smirks and walks over to the others who were shocked.

“So did you get all that?”he asks

“L-Loud and clear” said a stunned Izuku.

“What about you turtle-”

“ Elijah, I swear I will aim my mouth over yours and use my fucking quirk!” Bowsette yells.

“I know that wasn't supposed to sound kinky but..“said Elijah,chuckling.

“Shut up” said Bowsette.

“ So we all walking home together?”Izuku asks.

“ Of course, especially since you need help carrying your stuff and also explaining that to your mum”said Elijah.

“ I forgot about that”said Izuku.

After dropping off Izuku and explaining what happened with his arm, Elijah then walks Bowsette home.

“I thought she was going to have a heart attack”said Bowsette.

“I thought he got that from his pop’s side of the family” Elijah laughs.

“ By the way, about what I was going to ask”she said leaning on his shoulder.

“I guess to watch your brother or something?” he asks.

“ Nope, could you.. come pick me up to walk to school tomorrow? she asks.

“ Argh, you know I hate the a.m. but fine” said Elijah as he stopped in front of her mansion.

“Cool, see you tomorrow” she said, opening the gate.

End of chapter.

Chapter 9: Toru

Notes:

Introducing a new rival

Chapter Text

Elijah was walking with Izuku and Bowsette to school, when they got there they saw that a bunch of press we're waiting outside the front of the school.

“Why are they all here?” Bowsette asks.

“Bloody vultures” said Elijah.

“So many” said Izuku, nervously.

Elijah then walked forward which a bunch of the Press noticed and went up to him only to be flipped off with a smile.

“Okay.. you there, can you tell me what it's like to-”

“ No comment” said Bowsette, walking towards Elijah.

“ Okay, how about this one? Hey you! You tell us what it's like to work so closely with All Might?” the reporter asks.

“Uh..sorry..I have to go to the nurse's office.. yeah right away” said Izuku speed walking towards his two friends.

“ Did you really have to flip them off?” Izuku asks.

“ No, just felt like it” Elijah answers.

few minutes later In class…

“ Alright, decent work everyone. I saw the tape from combat training yesterday and it wasn't half bad. Bakugo, you're talented so don't sulk like a child about your loss, okay?” said Aizawa.

“(Well now we know who his favorite is) Elijah thought to himself.

“ Midoriya, I see the only way you won the match with my messing up your arm again… work harder and don't give me the excuse you don't have control of your quirk, that-”

“Mr Aizawa, if I may say something?” Elijah ask to the shock of everyone.

“(What is he about to do?) Bowsette thinks to herself.

“Go ahead” said Aizawa.

“You say you watch the tapes, correct? That would include audio from the fights. Why are you praising a complete jackass like Bakugo but you go hard on Izuku? if you're going to show favoritism at least make it subtle” said Elijah again shocking everyone in class.

“Oh he is-”

“You didn't let me finish. Midoriya,your quirk is very useful if you can get a handle on it. so show a little urgency.As for you, Hendrix.We'll talk after class but right now, we need to get down to business.Our first task will decide your future”said Aizawa.

“Is it another Quirk test?” all the students thought to themselves.

“You all need to pick a class representative” said Aizawa.

“Oh, good.Just normal school stuff” the whole class thought in relief.

“(Well I officially don't care)” Elijah thoughts himself, deciding to take a nap.

Eventually the class decided to vote was led to Izuku getting four votes, Momo getting two, Elijah getting two as well.

“How did I get four votes?!” said Izuku, surprised.

“All right, who voted for him?!” Bakugo asks, slamming his hands down on the desk.

“Do you honestly think someone's going to vote for you?” one of the students asks.

“That was a good nap and why is my name on the board?” Elijah asks waking up.

“The catch up the speed, the class put it to a vote and you somehow got two” Bowsette informs him.

“I thought that he'd be a good choice”said the invisible student, sheepishly.

“I appreciate that..uhm-”

“Toru Hagakure” she answers.

“(She sounds familiar..)Okay that's one vote what the other one come from?” Elijah asks but then notices Izuku whistling nervously.

“Well they have it our class rep is Midoriya but what about-”

“She can have it, I don't want it”said Elijah.

“ Then our deputy is Yaoyorozu ”said Aizawa as the new students stood up front.

“Really? Uh. It's not a mistake?” Izuku ask shaking.

“ How’d this happen? “Momo asks.

After class and getting chewed out by Aizawa, Elijah was on his way down for lunch until he sees Toru waiting in the hallway.

“ Toru, right?” he asks.

“ T-That's right” she said, stuttering.

“ Was there something you needed?” he asks.

“ I was hoping we could have lunch together if that's okay” she said.

“ Sure” he said.

Minutes late in the cafeteria…

“ Guys, I'm kind of wondering about the class rep thing, I don't think I'm qualified “said Izuku.

“Sure you are” said Ochako.

“Do I have more faith in yourself Izuku” said Bowsette.

“You'll be great”Iida with a hint of resentment.

“ Should have been here by now”said Bowsette.

“ I'm sure Mr.Aizawa is giving him an earful”said Iida.

On another side of the cafeteria,Toru and Elijah we're eating lunch together and getting to know one another.

“So you were that girl I saved from the rubble?” Elijah asks.

“Um-hmm, hard not to forget you.I’ve never seen somebody with so many piercings”said Toru.

“Pretty sure I was able to see you for a brief second” he said.

“Y-you didn't see everything, did you?”she asks.

“Nope, all I remember was your face… so beautiful”said Elijah.

“ Y-You think that I'm beau-”

They then heard an alarm go off, making all the students gasp and wonder what's happening.

“ Warning! Level 3 security breach, all students, please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion” set a voice on the alarm system.

“ Someone was able to get past the barrier?”Toru asks.

They make their way towards where everybody was leaving out of but noticed it was super crowded. Elijah then came up with an idea.

“ Toru, hop on my back”said Elijah.

“ But.. okay” she said wrapping her arms around his neck.

Elijah then activates his camouflage and jumps onto the ceiling, none of the students seem to notice the both of them, he makes it out of the exit with her but then he is a loud boom and yelling.

“ Listen up, everything is okay!”

“ Is that Iida?” Elijah asks.

“It's just the media outside! There's absolutely nothing to worry about, everything's fine! Were you a students, we need to remain calm and prove that we're the best of the best”said Iida.

Minutes after that, everyone managed to calm down until the police arrived and got rid of the media. Soon after everyone went back to their classes.

“ It's time, class rep. Let's begin” said Momo.

“Um..Okay, so we need to figure out who the other student class officers will be but first, there's something that I want to say. I've thought a lot about this, and I think that Tenya Iida should be class rep! He was able to capture everyone's attention and get us in line. So I believe that he should be the one leading our class from now on!” said Izuku.

“ I agree” said Elijah.

“ Yeah, you know what? If midoriya vouches for him, I'm good. plus he was a big help, he totally manned up and took charge, right?” Kirishima asks.

Everyone then voted for Iida three class rap, after that their day was back to normal all the way till 3:00 when school was out.Elijah was ready to head out until he noticed Toru behind him, so he couldn't tell she was very fidgety.

“ E-Eli-kun, I was wondering if we could walk home together”she asks.

Elijah then looked around and noticed that Izuku and Bowsette had already left and sighs.

“ Sure”said Elijah.

They walk together until they reach the train station, she then walks forward but then turns around.

“ Something wrong?”He asks.

“ Could you.. lean down a bit” she asks.

“ Sure but what for-” he was cut off when he felt something Peck him on the cheek.

“See you tomorrow” she said, running off.

Elijah then went home but couldn't get what happened to him out of his head, after doing his homework, because I was working on his music but struggled as the thought of the kiss kept coming back to his head and decides to face call Izuku, Bowsette,and Jackie who immediately answers.Izuku was at his desk on his side of the camera,Jackie was sitting on her chair, while Bowsette was painting her nails.

“ Where have you been all day? We were looking at you during lunch”said Bowsette.

“Yeah I was hanging with Toru” he said which made both of them stop what they were doing.

“ You were doing, what?” Bowsette asks.

“ Who's that?” Jackie asks.
“ She's this girl in our class that's invisible” Izuku explains.

“Yeah, she has to hang out during lunch and after classes we ended up walking home together and she kind of kissed me on the cheek” he said, catching everyone by surprise.

“Ohhh, does our favorite brit have a crush?“ Jackie teased who noticed Bowsette's look of shock.

“ I mean she seemed kind of cool”he said, rubbing the back of his head.

“Bow-chan-”

“That's great, so great, super great” she said nervously.

“You sure about that, Bowsie?” Jackie asks.

“Why wouldn't it be? Happy for him, shoot your shot with the invisible girl”said Bowsette.

“ Alright, never know, less try,right?” Elijah asks.

“R-Right” said Izuku.

“Good luck” said Jackie.

“ Well I got to go but I'll see you tomorrow“said Elijah,jumping off the call.

“Bow-chan, are you going to be-”

“ Oh wow, look at the time I gotta go bye” she said immediately ending the call.

“Give her time”said Jackie.

With Bowsette…

After ending the call, she then curled up to her knees.
“Idiot”said Bowsette.

End of chapter.

Chapter 10: Encounter With The Unknown

Chapter Text

Izuku and Elijah were walking to school when they ran into Jackie and decided to walk together.

“ So where's Bowsie at? She usually wants you guys to school” Jackie asks.

“She sent us a text message saying she was going ahead”said Izuku.

“And I ain't got a Scooby-Doo mate what that was about” said Elijah, confusing her.

“It means he doesn't have a clue”Izuku explains.

“Thank you Izuku” said Jackie.

They eventually make it to the gate, Jackie went to her classes while izuku and Elijah Elijah then take the seat next to Bowsette but unlike other days she was ignoring him completely.

“ Today's training will be a little different, you'll have three instructors.Me, all might, and another faculty member be keeping tabs on you”said Aizawa, making them gasp.

“Three Pros? Is that because of the break-in?” what are the students asks.

“ Sir! What kind of training is this? another student asks.

“Rescue.You'll be dealing with natural disasters, shipwrecks, stuff like that” he said holding up a sign that said rescue which makes the students gasp.

Everyone in class started to get hyped for the rescue training and completely ignoring Aizawa.

“Guys, I'm not finished. What you wear in this exercise is up to you, I know you're excited about costumes but keep in mind that you haven't gotten used to them yet, and I might limit your abilities.For this special training is that an off-campus facility, so we'll be taking a bus to get there.That's all, start getting ready” said Aizawa.

Everyone did what they were told and most of them were heading outside, Elijah had put on his costume then made his way out as well.

“ Got to try my best on this training then worry about asking out Toru”said Elijah but then heard a shriek.

“ You were going to ask me out?”

Elijah then looked around but didn't see anything until you looked behind him to see a pair of gloves and boots, coming to the realization that Toru was behind him.

“Oh,Toru.. were you waiting for me?” he asks.

“ Actually I was coming from changing into… but more importantly I would love to go out with you” she said.

“ Cool, are you doing anything af-?”

“ Nope, I mean I don't have anything planned” she answers.

“Alright, then I promise an exciting date then”said Elijah as they walked together outside.

As they made it outside they then heard a whistle being blown by Iida.

“ Gather round, class 1-A! Using your student numbers, form two neat lines so we can load the bus efficiently” Iida yells continuing to blow the whistle.

minutes later on the bus..

Elijah was sitting next to Toru and on the bus,listening to his music with her until he overhears part of a conversation.

“If anyone has Pro Quirks, it's Todoroki, Hendrix, and Bakugo”said one of the students.

“ Sure, but Bakugo’s always angry, so he'll never be that popular” said Tysui, which made Elijah laugh.

“Uh-What’d you say? I'll kick your ass!” he yells.

“Ya see” she said pointing at him.

“ Oh I can hear it now, “Breaking news, Local Hero threatens to beat up a girl because he insulted her more at 5:00”said Bowsette which made everybody laugh.

“ You know we basically just met you. so it's kind of telling that we all know your personality is Flaming crap mixed with garbage” said another student.

“ You're going to regret the day you applied to the school, you loser.And as for you, Insects-”

“One spiders aren't insects and two don't make me call Jackie” said Elijah which made him stop and sit in his chair.

“ You weren't joking” said Jiro.

“ One of these days, Brit” said Bakugo.

After a while, they all got off the bus. It was meant by another hero wearing a suit seem like they were heading into space.

“ It's the space hero, thirteen.The chivalrous Pro who was rescued a ton of people from disasters across the world!” said izuku in awe.

“ Classic Izuku, am I right Bo-”

“ Don't talk to me” she said, walking away from him.

“Okay, what I do this time?” he asks Izuku.

“ Uh..who knows, maybe she just woke up on the wrong side of the bed” He suggests nervously and frantically moving his hands.

“ I can't wait to show you what's inside!” said thirteen.

They all go inside and notice a bunch of different landscapes the kind of like an amusement park.

“ A shipwreck, a landslide, a fire, a windstorm, Et-cetera.I created this training facility to prepare you to deal with different types of disasters.. I call it the unforeseen situation joint, but you can call it USJ!”said Thirteen.

“ Just like the Universal Studios Japan” all the students thought.

“ I'd rethink that name in case of a lawsuit” said Elijah.

“ Clocks ticking, we should get started” said Aizawa.

“Excellent. Before we begin, let me just say one thing. Well, maybe two things.Possibly three, four, or five-”

“ We get it” said the class.

“ Listen carefully. I'm sure you're aware that I have a powerful Quirk it's called black hole. I can use it to suck up anything and turn it into dust” said Thirteen.

“Yeah, you've used black hole to save people from all kinds of danger, haven’t you? Izuku asks.

“That's true but my Quirk could also easily be used to kill.Some of you also have powers that can be dangerous in our superhero society, some of you also have powers that can be dangerous.In our superhuman society,all Quirks are certified and stringently regulated,so we often overlook how unsafe it can actually be. Please don’t forget that if you lose focus or make the wrong move,your powers can be deadly. Even if you’re trying to do something virtuous like rescue someone,thanks to Aizawa’s fitness tests,you have a solid Idea of your Quirk’s potential and because of All Might’s combat training,you likely experience how dangerous your powers can be when used against other people. Carry those lessons over to this class, today you're going to learn how to use your Quirks to save people's lives.You won't be able to use your powers to attack enemies or each other, only help. After all, that's what being a hero is all about, ensuring the safety of others, that's all I have to say and thank you so much for listening”said Thirteen taking a bow, receiving cheers from the students.

“ Now with that-”Aizawa begins to say until the lights started to die and there was a giant black fog spewing out and through the fog a man with hands covering his face and on his head came out.

“ Something tells me the same part of the training” Elijah thought to himself.

“ Stay together and don't move,thirteen protect the students!!”Aizawa yells.

“ Whoa, what is that thing? Did the training already start? I thought we were rescuing people”said Kirishima.

“Stay back! This is real, those are villains”said Aizawa, which made the students gasp.

“What? Real villains, no way.How could so many get into a facility this secure?”Kirishima asks.

“ Yeah,Thirteen. Why are the alarms going off?” Momo asks.

“Good question, I'm not sure” Thirteen answers.

“ Is the entire campus under attack or is their only Target? The way, if the alarm sensors aren't being triggered then one of these villains must have a Quirk that's masking their presence here.They carefully chose this isolated facility as an entry point at a time when a class was being taught.Their fools for trespassing here, but they thought this out”said Todoroki.

“ What they come all the way… they're not here for us. They're here for the heroes? No, I doubt they would show up for Mr.Aizawa or Thirteen..that only leaves-” Elijah's thoughts were interrupted when he sees a glove on his arm.

“Elijah?” Toru asks.

“ Sorry I was thinking about something”said Elijah.

“Thirteen, get them out of here and that alert the main campus-”

“No offense Mr Aizawa, I feel that's a bad idea.If what Todoroki said is true, that means they most likely have a way of making sure no one can use our cell phones or any other way of calling for help”said Elijah.

“ Hmm…. Kaminari, try using your court to contact the school” said Aizawa, receiving a nod as he attempted to.

“Sir, what are you going to do?There's too many of ‘em.Even if you could nullify their Quirks, you're fighting style is not suited for this.Your power works best in stealth and one on one fights”said Izuku.

“ There's a lesson you'll learn as you grow, you can't be a pro if you only know one trick” he said as he jumped down and started taking on the villains.

“Let's go kids,Aizawa’s got this” said Thirteen.

All the students agreed and started running towards the door except for Elijah who seemed a bit hesitant to leave but then feels something on his arm, he turns and sees Bowsette.

“We have to go, he can handle it.. please Eli-kun” she said with a stern look on her face.

He grunts then makes his way to the door with the others.They were almost there but then the purple fog appear from the ground and a villain surrounded by it showed up.

“It's a pleasure to meet you, we are the league of villains.This may be presumptuous of us but we invited ourselves into this Haven of Justice to say hello.We thought All Might would be here but it appears we were wrong, must have been a change in plans we could have not foreseen”said the villain.

“Okay maybe would be best if we-”Elijah was cut off when he sees Katsuki and Kirishima jumped at the mist villain but it did no damage.

“ What an excellent attack, what I expected of UA students” he replies.

“ You two get out of the way right now”Thirteen orders.

“ I'll scatter you across the facility, to meet your comrades and your deaths” he said, spilling all over them.

 

End Of Chapter.

Chapter 11: The Great Villain Escape

Chapter Text

Elijah in the blink of an eye ends up falling into this Lake along with Izuku, Izuku was able to swim but Elijah was having trouble.

“ All the places to end up…”Elijah thought as he flailed his arms trying desperately to get to the surface but turned and saw a shark man about to attack Izuku but then saw Tsuyui come and save him before passing out.

“1 2 3”

“ I don't think it's working”

“ 1 2 3”

Elijah then opens his eyes and sees Tsuyu giving him mouth to mouth and then quickly spits out water taking deep breaths.

“ Eli-kun, you're okay”said Izuku.

“(Cough)What..just… happened?”he asks, desperately catching his breath.

“That villain summoned some kind of shadow and teleported us to this Lake, you were drowning until Tsuyu pulled you out but you weren't breathing so she gave you mouth to mouth”Izuku explains just made him touch his lips for a minute.

“(Note to self take swimming lessons) You have my thanks,Tsu” he said which made her smile.

“ Lucky”

Elijah then turned to see the purple one kicking part of the ship.

“This is turning out to be a terrible day of class”said Tsuyu.

“Everyday is but this is definitely the worst” said Elijah as he ringed out his mask then put it back on.
“ Yeah, I keep thinking about what that villain said.They knew our whole schedule and who would be here”said Izuku.

“They must have gotten the schedule from that time the Press showed up”said Elijah.

“It makes sense, the teachers were busy dealing with the media and we were all stuck in the cafeteria.That means they've been waiting for the perfect time to attack, just like Todoroki said they were” said Izuku.

“ The nearest specifically targeting All Might, meaning that we're all-”

“ Hey, hold on a second”said Mineta.

“ Who is he?”Elijah whispers to Izuku.

“ Mineta, he's been in our class the entire time” said Izuku.

“It's not like these guys can really kill All Might. Once he shows up, he'll pound these villains until there's nothing left!” he said, punching the air.

“Think about it though. If the villains spent so much time planning this attack, then they probably figured out a way to kill him and didn't you hear what that smoke guy said? Maybe we should worry more about not getting tortured to death”said Tsuyu.

“She's right. To his powers he can probably teleport us anywhere, what's important is that we got to survive long enough for All Might to get here”said Elijah.

“Even if he does show up, who knows if he'll make it out in one piece”said Tsuyu.

“ No, the pros are going to save us, right? Tell the Brit and frog-boobs to shut up!”said Mineta.

“ I wish you'd shut up, wait, frog-boobs?”said Elijah,confused but then felt his Spider Sense go off.

“ Ribbit”said Mineta.

“ We got company”said Elijah.
They all turn to see a half fish villain and another villain headed their way along with two others coming from the right side

“AHHH,BAD GUYS!!”Mineta screams.

“Oy,this ain’t the time for screamin’,now’s the time for fightin”said Elijah.

“Elijah’s right.If they can beat him, then we have to stop whatever it is these bad guys are planning. We have to work together and keep All Might safe. No one at UA knows what's happening, this is up to us. Let's be heroes” said Izuku receiving a clap of approval from Elijah.

“ What do you mean fight? Are you both crazy?! These guys might be able to kill All Might and you think we can take them?! Did one of you hit your head? We got work here or that the spider Brit started acting like this after he got kissed?!”Mineta asks, panicking.

“ It wasn't a kiss!”said Tsuyu and Elijah in unison.

“The best plan is for us to wait for a Pro Hero from UA to come save us!” he said, crying.

“ Put a sock in it, we've already established they're not coming which only leaves one option”said Elijah.

“ Think about it, those villains down there clearly have an event in the water and assume that's where we'll fight”said Izuku.

“If that's the case, they must’ve known what was inside the USJ before they warped in” said Tsuyu.

“ Yeah, but for a group with such careful planning, there's one thing that really sticks out to me”said Izuku.

“Why send Tsu here? This could mean that they don't know what our Quirks are” said Elijah.

“ Ribbit. You’ve got a point, if they knew I was a frog, they would have sent me into that fire zone over there instead of somewhere full of water”said Tsuyu.

“They probably separated us because they didn't know what we could do and planned to overpower us once we were in smaller groups”said Izuku.

“ Divide and conquer”said Elijah.

“We can use that to our advantage. They don't know what our Quirks are. So, for all they know, the three of us could be super powerful.Look, none of them are trying to climb into the boat, that proves they're a little unsure but that means they're not going to underestimate us either”said Izuku.

“So, let's talk Quirks, I'll go first if you want.Obviously, I can jump high and cling to pretty much any wall, and of course there's my tongue I can stick it out about 20 meters.Oh yeah, and I can spit out my stomach so I can clean it, that's not really useful.Finally, I can also secrete a toxic mucus it just stings a bit”said Tsuyu.

“Cool”said Elijah.

“We can probably only use my jumping in my tongue here, forget about the last things”said Tsuyu.

“ I figured you were powerful but that's crazy.I'm strong but it comes at a price.Once I use it, I'm pretty much out of commission, it's a double-edged sword until I can control it” said Izuku.

“ Well as for me, wall crawling, camouflage but it only works for me, spider physiology, and bio electricity which I can use for electric webbing, and Venom sting. And of course there are my webs but that won’t be useful in water”said Elijah.

“I got these sticky balls”said Mineta.

“Bruh”said Elijah.

“No I mean on top of my head, their strength varies depending on how I'm feeling, they might stick to something a whole day and they grow back as fast as I pull’em off I'll bleed if I used too many.Oh and they don't stick to me, I'll Just Bounce right off’em” he said as he took one of them off and placed it on the boat.

All four of them just stood there and completely silent, though they couldn't tell it to the mask but Elijah's face showed no emotion whatsoever just like Izuku and Tsuyu,making Mineta start to whimper.
“ Don't look at me like that! This is why I said we should wait for the real heroes!My Quirk is totally unfit for battle and we're going to die!”said Mineta.

“ No, you have incredible power! Really! We just have to figure out how to use it!”said Izuku.

Just then Elijah’s spider sense goes off and turns to see a water hand grows out and smashes the ship as Mineta starts to freak out and rapidly throws his balls into water but then is grabbed by Elijah.

“Oi Mineta,chill” he said while slapping him in the face twice.

“(I’ll feel like he’s enjoying that…huh)Eli-kun, look”said Izuku.

Elijah then dropped Mineta and saw the villains keeping their distance from the balls,

“So Mineta, do you think the hero route is right for you?”Tsuyu asks.

“Shut up! It's weird not to be scared right now! We just got outta Junior High a little while ago! I didn't think I'd be facing death a few days after starting UA!I can't believe I'm going to die without ever getting to touch Yaoyorozu’s or Bowsette’s boobs!”Mineta yells.

“Like you were ever going to get the chance,Bow would literally roast you and I'm pretty sure Momo would give you a lecture on why you shouldn't be a perv”said Elijah.

“Listen up, an enemy that's certain of their victory is bound to make a mistake. All Might said along those lines in a TV interview a while back”said Izuku.

“Does that even mean?” Mineta asks, sobbing.

“ Now's our chance, we can beat them!”said Izuku.

“Tell us to play, coach”said Elijah.

“ When I give this signal, jump” said Izuku.

“ I'll do it but not because you told me to” said Elijah, playfully punching his arm.

Izuku then jumped off of the boat, and activated one for all and flicked his finger which blasted the water with wind pressure and started to draw in all the villains.

“ Guys now!” he yells.

Elijah and Tsuyu who is grabbing Mineta then jump off of the boat, Elijah then fires a web catching Izuku and they make their escape.Mineta went through some of his balls into the water.

“ I'll be damn”said Elijah.

“ If a strong force is applied to the water’s surface, the water will be pushed away, and then come rushing right back to the middle! Izuku explains as they then saw the villains being spewed out all stuck together.

“We rounded ‘em all up,not too shabby”said Tsuyu.

“ What a hell of a plan, same goes to you too Mineta”said Elijah.

“Huh,I had a good poop this morning, which makes my balls stickier” he said proudly.

“And you ruined it” said Elijah as they walk out of the water.

“ Can't believe we managed to get all of ‘em at once. it took everything I had to keep my composure, it was such a gamble I didn't think we-”

“ Relax, mate”said Elijah.

“He's right, instead of second-guessing but we did, shouldn't we think about our next move?” Tsuyu asks.

“Yeah. You're totally right. Ah-” said Izuku who then holds his fingers in pain.

“ Are you going to be alright?” Elijah asks.

“Yeah, Eli-kun. I think we should split up, you use your camouflage to go check on the others while we go towards the exit and try to get help” said Izuku.

“ Are you daft? I'm not gonn-”

“ Think about it. You can sneak past them and help out the others without noticing, they could probably use your help more than we do”said Izuku.

“Argh, all right but once I'm done checking on them I'll go straight back to you guys, don't do anything I wouldn't do” said Elijah as he activates camouflage and jumps out of the water.

“You know you probably should have told him to go get help since he could have sneak out of here”said Mineta.

“ Not his style”said Izuku.

End of chapter.

Chapter 12: In Each of our Hearts

Notes:

the end of this arc

Chapter Text

Elijah first went to the area close to him which was the landslide Zone but notice it was completely frozen over, He sees Todoroki had taken care of the villains and decides to move ahead to the mountain Zone, he then sees a couple of villains fighting Momo,Jiro, Denki and decides to give give them a hand.He gets behind to the villains and give them a light zap making them fall over to the confusion of the others.

“ What just happened to-”

“ They went night night”said Elijah,zapping him as well.

He then sees Jiro kick Denki into the villains stunning them.Just as one of the villains punched him in the face and one jumped over him, Elijah then swiftly kicks him and drops his camouflage.

“So can anyone join in on this party?”Elijah asks.

“What did you come from?” Jiro asks.

“ The UK but that's not what you meant” said Elijah which made her roll her eyes but smiled.

“ You're making jokes in a situation like this?”Momo asks.

“Would you rather I freak out and sob?”he asks.

“ Dammit Kaminari, you couldn't have asked for some kind of aiming gear. Will you put in your costume request? I mean come on!” said Jiro as a villain was bout to drop down but Elijah webs him to the wall.

“It's ready… it takes a while to create an object this big” said Momo as from her back forms a giant blanket covering her and Jiro.

“ The hell?That's supposed to be a shield?” one of the villains asked.

“ You're looking at a seat of insulation 100 mm thick. Go,Kaminari and Hendrix, you might want to get under here too” said Momo.
Without a second to think, he gets under the sheet along with them, then Elijah hears yells in pain and then multiple things dropping to the ground.

“Oh I get it kno..” Elijah didn't get a chance to finish the sentence as when he turned around he saw Momo whose breasts exposed.

“ We should probably go. I'm worried about the others”said Momo.

“You're looking a little Overexposed right now” Jiro comments.

“ Huh? I can make some new clothes”she said but then saw Elijah who had his head turned and immediately blushes and covered her chest.

“ You didn’t se-”

“Kaminari, are you okay?” he said quickly making his way over to him.

Elijah noticed the dopey look on his face while he was also giving a thumbs up which made him bust out laughing and rolling on the ground.

“ Hey Eli, what so fun….” she said but then noticed his face as well and was trying her best to laugh.

“Exactly happened to him?”Momo asks, which made Elijah get off the ground.

“ His brain probably short-circuited, what's your clothes are all fixed”said Elijah.

“So you did see!!”said Momo, blushing.

Meanwhile with Bowsette…

Bowsette found herself stuck with Bakugou and Kirishima,She blocked one villain attack then used her tail to whip him out of a window then fired off the spikes on her shell to keep another one in place.

“Little brat” said the villain who tries to escape but it was futile.
Then backs up into Kirishima and Bakugou, who are heavily breathing.

“ I think that's the last of these guys, bunch of weaklings”said Bakugou.

“All right, let's hurry and find the rest of our class. If the three of us are still in the USJ, that everyone else probably is, too”said Kirshima.

“You're right, we got to make sure they're safe. Now that I have the chance to say this, it was really stupid to jump in head first against that villain”said Bowsette.

“ Yeah, 13 probably could have sucked up that villain and we wouldn't have been separated. We have to make it up to the others”said Kirishima.

“ If you two want to track everyone down, have fun. But I'm going to destroy that worthy bastard-” he said but is then slapped in the face by Bowsette.

“ Your physical attacks didn't work on him, Now it's not the time to worry about your bruised ego-”

“ Shut up! I'm going to take him down because he's there in and out. If I cut off their Escape Route, then they'll be stuck here, they have to pay for what they've done-” he then grabs an invisible villain and uses his quirk.

“ Anyway, if all these villains are small fries like these guys were, that our classmates can handle ’em”said Bakugou.

“ That reaction time was insane” said Kirishima.

“ Compared to Elijah,this guy doesn’t know how to stay silent” he said but then noticed Bowsette's wide eyed look.

“Did you just call Eli-kun by his name and pay him a compliment?! Who are you?”she asks.

“ Since when did you act so calm and rational? Usually you're more like “die, die, die,”. So what changed-”

“ Shut up! I'm always calm and rational, you red-headed loser! As for you,if you so much as tell him”said Bakugou.
“(Don't have to worry about that… I'm not exactly talking to him at the moment)” Bowsette thought to herself.

Back with Elijah…

“Get your hands up and no Quirks” said a villain holding Denki with a gun to his head.

“(Damn, we didn't even see him coming, I could activate camouflage or with the gun out of his hand but then..)” Elijah thought to himself.

“ Kaminari’s helpless” said Momo, agitated.

“ Damn villain”said Kyoka.

“I feel a little Brotherhood with other electric types, so I don't want to kill him but I will if you make me”said the villain as he showed off a couple of sparks from his hands which makes all three of them gasp and put their hands up.

“ An electric type, he's probably the one Todoroki said was jamming the communications”said Momo.

“Huh… don't move a muscle. Let's take this nice and slow” as he walked slowly towards them still holding Kaminari.

“You know you two dudes plus our friend over here are lucky. People with electric type quirks are destined for mainstream success”said Kyoka.

“Huh?” the villain said, confused.

“Oh I get it” said Elijah.

“ I don't. What are you doing?” Momo whispers.

“ I mean even if you didn't want to be a hero, there are tons of jobs you could do in the city, right? You're kind of Quirk is in high demand” said Kyoka.

“ So why become a villain in the first place?”Elijah asks.

“Nice try”said the villain put his hand closer to Kiminari’s face, forcing Kyoka to retract her chords.

“Think you could distract me that easily? Big mistake, kids. An awesome dumb Thug who can be outsmarted. You need to learn how to take hostage situations seriously. So here's the New Deal, either this idiot's going to die or you are. How about that? You can either save his life or your own, what's it going to be kids-The villain was cut off by being shot in both arms surprising all three of them.

“ What the crap just happened?”Kyoka asks.

“ Is it them?” Momo asks.

“ Cheers love, the calvary has arrived”said Elijah.

“ Really?”Kyoka asks, groaning.

“ It was the perfect time for it”said Elijah.

“ I'm confused , what are you two talking about?” Momo asks.

“Have you never heard of OverWatch?” they both asks in unison.

“Is that a new TV show?”she asks.

The heroes were able to capture all the villains quickly while all the students made it outside safe except for Izuku who was injured.

“ Everyone seems to be unharmed except for that boy whose legs were all messed up” said the detective.

“ ( Izuku…)Elijah thought until he felt a hand on his shoulder and turn to see nothing but gloves and boots relizing it was Toru.

“So I heard you were helping out the others… that's really cool”she tells him.

“Thanks but a part of me kind of feels bad for not sticking with-”
“I also heard Tsuyu had to give you mouth to mouth” she whispers.

“Yeah, you see I-”

“I mean you can tell me all about it later, right? If you still-”

“Yeah”said Elijah who notices Bowsette walking over to him.

“So where did you end up?”she asks.

“Originally I was with Izuku, Tsu, and Mineta.Izuku and Tsu were really awesome”said Elijah.

“ What about Mineta?”she asks.

“ He was there, he freaked out, and he also said some about fondling you and Momo’s boobs”said Elijah.

“So potential beat down?” she asks.

“ Possibly”said Elijah.

After hearing about the status of Izuku,Aizawa, and All Might, they all went back to class. After class, Elijah walks to the nurse's office where he sees Bowsette standing outside the door until she notices him. She was a bit nervous to open the door until Elijah just opened it revealing Izuku, who is still in bed.

“ Oh hey guys” he said with a smile on his face.

Before Elijah could say anything, Bowsette marched over to Izuku with an angry look on her face.

“ Bow-”

“How many times are you going to end up here? You gotta stop being so reckless”she said, scowling.

“I'm pretty sure he got an earful from recovery girl”said Elijah.

“Oh I heard about you as well, helping the Jiro, Kaminari, and Ya-”

“ Hey Izuku and I got put through the ringer, I almost drowned”said Elijah.

“Yeah good thing Tsu knew mouth to mouth”said Izuku but then covered his mouth up.

“Ooh did she?”said Bowsette, smiling while cracking her knuckles.

“She saved my life,she's cool with my book. Well I got to go, I'll call you guys later” Elijah as walked out of the nurse's office.

“Bow-chan, are you going to be okay?” he asks.

“I'll be fine, I shouldn't be mad because I couldn't tell him”said Bowsette with a weak smile.

“You never know, things might not work out for them and he did think you were hot in your costume… oh crap I was supposed to say that”said Izuku but then noticed the happy expression on her face.

“Uh… you should hurry up and change. I'll wait downstairs” she said, rushing out of the nurse's office and closing it.

End of chapter.

Chapter 13: Prep For The Festival

Chapter Text

School was closed the day after the League of Villains attacked the USJ. Elijah was in his room, casually strumming his guitar and jotting down lyrics when his phone buzzed with a message.

Koopa-hime: Doing anything right now?
Elijah: Just working on a new song.
Koopa-hime: Any chance I can hear it?
Elijah: When it’s finished.
Koopa-hime: BTW, how did that date go?
Elijah: Pretty good. We were hanging out earlier.
Koopa-hime: That’s good.

Before Elijah could reply, he noticed his door creak open. Rising to close it, he returned to his bed only to realize his phone had vanished.

“I thought... Mike!!” he yelled, looking up. There, clinging to the ceiling, was a boy with dyed brown hair, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, grinning mischievously.

“Texting your girlfriend?” Mike teased, dangling the phone.

“Haha, very funny. Now hand it over,” Elijah demanded.

“Hmm… no,” Mike replied, springing off the ceiling and bolting out the door.

Elijah gave chase. Mike leapt from wall to banister, leading him downstairs into the kitchen, where he found himself cornered.

“Nowhere to run, you little gremlin,” Elijah said, inching closer before lunging at Mike.

Mike agilely dodged, leaping over him. “You lose!” Mike declared triumphantly, only to freeze at Elijah’s smirk.

“Rachel,” Elijah called.

From the shadows, a thin, invisible web shot out, ensnaring Mike. Struggling, he turned to see a little girl, no older than six, with lavender pigtails, red monochromatic eyes, and a black-and-gold dress.

“No fair!” Mike protested as Elijah retrieved his phone.

“No stealing,” Rachel declared as Elijah picked her up.

“That’s right,” Elijah agreed, ruffling her hair.

“Get... me... down!” Mike whined.

“I think I’ll leave that to Mom,” Elijah said, walking out of the kitchen.

“Did Rachel do a good job?” she asked eagerly.

“You did. Tell you what—half a Pop-Tart for you,” Elijah offered.

“Yay!” Rachel squealed in delight.
The next day at U.A. High…

“Guys, did you see the news last night?” Toru asked excitedly.

“Nope,” Elijah replied.

“I did,” Ojiro said.

“It was so cool that we got a few seconds of screen time! Though I bet nobody noticed me hanging out in the background,” Toru added.

“If it makes you feel better, I wore a mask the entire time, so nobody saw my face,” Elijah smirked.

“We’re totally big deals now! The news loves us—we’re basically celebrities!” Kaminari said.

“Yeah, it’s kind of crazy, right?” Kashima chimed in.

“Get over yourselves. The hero course was attacked, and that’s what they cared about?” Jiro deadpanned.

“Agreed,” Elijah said.

“Who knows what would’ve happened if the teachers didn’t show up,” Sero added.

“Why did you have to say that?! Just thinking about it makes me wanna pee myself,” Mineta whimpered.

“AW, SHUT UP AND GROW A PAIR, LOSER!” Bakugo shouted, scaring both Mineta and Midoriya.

The room fell silent as Aizawa entered, wrapped in bandages with his arms in slings.

“Mr. Aizawa, what are you doing here?!” the class exclaimed.

“You don’t have time to worry about me because your fight isn’t over yet,” Aizawa said flatly.

“More villains?” Elijah wondered aloud.

“No. The U.A. Sports Festival is about to start,” Aizawa announced, prompting cheers from most of the class.

“Let’s go kick some ass!” Kirishima shouted.

“Wait a second,” Kaminari interjected. “Is it really such a good idea to hold a sports festival so soon after the villains broke in?”

“They could attack again,” Ojiro agreed.

“The administration believes this is the perfect way to show that the threat has been handled and that our school is safer than ever,” Aizawa explained. “Security will be tighter than ever before. Plus, this is a huge opportunity for every student. We can’t cancel it over a couple of villains.”

“Why not? It’s just a sports festival,” Mineta mumbled.

“Mineta, don’t you know how important this competition is?” Izuku asked incredulously.

“Of course I do! I just don’t want to get murdered!” Mineta cried.

“Our sports festival is one of the most-watched events in the entire world,” Aizawa explained. “It’s where heroes are scouted by agencies. Miss this, and you miss your shot at going pro.”

“Once a year, three chances in a lifetime,” Yaoyorozu added. “No aspiring hero can afford to slack off.”

“Yes, ma’am!” the class chorused.

“Class dismissed,” Aizawa said.

After class, everyone was preparing to head to lunch, but the conversation quickly shifted to the upcoming sports festival. Elijah had his headphones on, lost in thought, until he noticed Uraraka looking at him with a beaming smile. He immediately removed them, sensing she had something to say.

“Everything okay?” he asked, a hint of concern in his voice.

“Let’s do our best in the sports festival!” Uraraka declared, her enthusiasm shining through.

“Uh... yeah,” Elijah replied, caught off guard by her sudden burst of energy.

“She even freaked out about Eli-kun joining,” Bowsette chimed in, standing beside Izuku with a teasing smirk.

Uraraka, undeterred, raised her fist in the air, rallying the group’s spirit. “Let’s all give it our best!”

“So... are we all eating lunch together?” Izuku asked, breaking the momentary silence.

“You know I am. What about you, Eli-kun?” Bowsette turned to Elijah with an expectant look.

“Yeah, I haven’t hung out with you guys in a while—” Elijah started but stopped mid-sentence as he felt a light tug on his arm. Turning, he noticed a familiar uniform and realized it was Toru.

“Want to have lunch together?” she asked cheerfully, her invisible presence somehow still commanding attention.

“Uh, well, is Izuku and B—”

“It’s fine, you can go eat with her,” Izuku interjected, waving his hands dismissively.

“Y-yeah, we’ll hang out later,” Bowsette added, her tone slightly strained.

“Okay, catch you guys after lunch,” Elijah said, giving a casual wave as he walked off with Toru.

At the cafeteria…

Bowsette found herself sitting at a table with Iida and Uraraka. Izuku had gone off to eat lunch with All Might, leaving the trio in a somewhat awkward silence. Bowsette quietly poked at her food until she noticed Uraraka staring at her intently.

“What?” Bowsette finally asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I was just wondering... which one do you have a crush on?” Uraraka asked, her curiosity unabashed.

Bowsette nearly choked on her drink. “N-Neither!” she exclaimed, her cheeks flushing.

“So, you don’t like Deku?” Uraraka pressed, her tone playful.

“Of course not. He’s like a nerdy little brother to me,” Bowsette replied, crossing her arms defensively.

“Then what about Hendrix-kun?” Uraraka asked slyly, causing Bowsette to freeze.

“A-As if I’d ever like him! He’s always late, has the worst taste in movies, and spends way too much time with that Ember of his, making terrible music!” Bowsette retorted, her arms crossed tightly.

“Who’s Ember?” Iida interjected, confused by the sudden mention.

“His guitar,” Bowsette muttered under her breath.

Her response was interrupted as Elijah approached their table, carrying a tray of food alongside Toru.

“How long were you—” Bowsette began, her voice faltering.

“Well, excuse me for writing such terrible music,princess Koopa” Elijah said, his tone laced with mock offense as he walked away to another table.

Bowsette slumped forward, resting her head on the table with a groan of frustration.

“I’m sure he’ll get over it,” Uraraka said gently, patting Bowsette on the head in an attempt to comfort her.

“No, he won’t,” Bowsette muttered, her voice heavy with regret. “He... really cares about his music.”

After lunch, They went back to that class. Their classes were about the same except for one when they noticed a bunch of other students from other classes watching, Bakugo said some things that painted a huge target on their backs.

With Elijah…

Elijah was running from building to building when suddenly his Spider Sense goes off and turns to see a shadowy figure behind him who is about to land a punch but he quickly dodges out of the way and webs them to a wall.

“That always catches your brother off guard”said the figure as he got himself free.

He then stepped out of the Shadows to reveal an African- male with wick dreadlocks,Numerous piercings, wearing a leather jacket over a torn up red t-shirt, black checkered pants with Stitch marks, and black boots.

“ Uncle Hobie? What are you doing here” said Elijah, dabbing up on his uncle.

“What? I can't visit my favorite nephew?” he asks.

“ What about Cain and Michael?”he asks.

“ Like I said, my favorite nephew” he said, rubbing Elijah's head.

“Thought you were on tour”said Elijah.

“ I am, Just so happened our next concert is here in two days. Also you UA wanted the prowler guarding a festival with a bunch of other heroes”said Hobie.

“ So we're both going to be there.. cool.Oh did you know I was in UA?”Elijah asks.

“ How can I not? Your pops woke me up at 3:00 a.m. to tell me all about it. Congrats,How's it been going? I heard about the villain's attack” he said with his hands in his pocket and leaning against the wall.

“It's been going good.And I would be lie if I said I wasn't terrified at the time but I think I handled it pretty well” said Elijah.

“ How's the music coming along? Don't tell me hero work at you-”

“ Pfft,Nah.I've been doing both.I've been working on some new songs”said Elijah as he brought out his phone.

Few minutes later, Hobie was listening with his headphones then took him out.
“ First one's pretty good, I see you sampled some stuff from” Rogue” but the second one, I like that one better. Put it out yet?” he asks.

“ Not yet” said Elijah.

“ Definitely should or better yet, play live”said Hobie.

“ I need to play at the guitar shop but that's for a huge audience… I haven't, plus I don't have a band” said Elijah.

“ Besides those two kids you hang out with?” he asks.

“ Izuku can't play an instrument, I'm not speaking to Bowsie at the moment, I guess there's Jiro but I couldn't ask her” said Elijah.

“ Well it just so happens that my deal with UA was that Lethal did the halftime show… I could have my nephew come up to play one of his songs” Hobie suggests.

“Would your band be okay with that?”he asks.

“ Of course. So what do you say? Ready to join me on stage?” he asks.

“(It'll be a huge crowd but then again) Too huge to pass up, I'm in”said Elijah.

“ I knew we were related. When you're done training, come practice with us and by the way, I like the costume… Very punk metal, have you come up with a name yet? “ he asks as he walks towards the ledge of the building.

“Not yet. I came down to two ideas” said Elijah.

“Good. choose wisely, your name reflects what kind of hero you're going to be”said Hobie as he got off the ledge.

End of Chapter

Chapter 14: UA Sports Festival Arc:Race

Chapter Text

Everyone from class 1-A were all changing into their tracksuits, the boys were all changing into theirs on one side and the girls were changing into theirs on the other side. Elijah was focused on two things, his performance and what his Uncle had said to him. Just then,Iida burst through the doors.

“ Everyone get your game faces on, we're entering the arena!!” said Iida.

“( Showtime) I just got to do my best” said Elijah as he stood up from his chair and walked out but then Bowsette was in front of him, she had a cautious look on her face but he walked ahead of her until she grabbed his hand.

“Can we ta-”She begins to say but then he shakes her hand off and continues to walk ahead.

Izuku was right behind her and saw this, he was a bit confused then noticed the sad expression on her face which made him worry.

“Is everything okay with the two of you?” he asks.

“ Remember how we agreed never to make fun of his music?” she asks, noticing the shocked expression on his face.

“ He must be giving you the silent treatment”said Izuku.

“He's ignored all my calls, never looks at my messages, this is worse than a time I broke his first guitar” she said, getting depressed.

“ I wouldn't focus on that now. We got the tournament to think about” he said with a hand on her shoulder.

“ You're right, I noticed Todoroki was getting in your face” said Bowsette.

“ I'll explain that on the way” he said as he walked outside with the others.

The whole class left the room as they got introduced to the crowd that filled every seat in the stadium.

“( I've never seen a crowd this big,I got to focus)” Elijah thought to himself.
Once the other classes got introduced, they all lined up around the podium where Midnight a tall curvaceous woman with sky blue eyes, which tilted downward in the center framed by a set of rather long eyelashes. She had long thick spiky dark purple hair which is made up of layers of varying lengths. Her costume was very similar to a dominatrix, she wore a Breathless, black leather leotard- similar in style to a corset- over the chin, skin tight, white bodysuit, which showed off her voluptuous figure. The center strip of her leotard was embellished with red gemstone in a vertical pattern extending from her collar to a midriff, she also wore translucent black thigh high garter stockings which were attached to a burgundy utility belt decorated with gold studs around her hips a melting belt buckle in the center and black knee boots. She also wore a small red mask outlining her eyes and handcuffs on her waist.

“Whoa, so much to tell Ms. Midnight what she's wearing” said Kirishima,blushing.

“No kidding, that costume should come in a warning” said Kaminari, who was also blushing.

“You say it like it's a bad thing” said Elijah whose Spider Sense then goes off and dodges to the left.

He catches what was thrown at him which seemed like a bit of the dirt, he turns around to look at anyone who is suspicious and sees nothing.

“And for the student pledge, we have Katsuki Bakugo”said Midnight, causing everyone in class 1A to look at him.

“ It's going to cock up”said Elijah then notice Jiro next to him.

“ You think he's going to mess up?” she asks.

“ In a way” said Elijah who noticed he made it to the podium and was at the mic.

“ Just want to say… I'm going to win” said Bakugo.

“ Called it” said Elijah as Bakugo got booed off stage.

“You weren't kidding” said Jiro.

“ And now we all have a huge target on our back, as if it wasn't big already”said Elijah.

“ Without further ado, it's time for us to get started! This is where you start feeling the pain the first fateful game of the festival”said Midnight.

“Someone should really be wondering why people are here to see high schoolers beat the s*** out of each other” said Elijah.

“ Either that or why we're not getting paid for this” said Jiro.

Then a board spinner appeared behind midnight and stopped at one that said obstacle course.

“All 11 classes will participate in this treacherous contest. The track is 4 km around the outside of the stadium. I don't want to restrain anyone, at least in this game. As long as you don't leave the course, you're free to do whatever your heart desires. Now take your places, contestants” said Midnight as the crowd cheered.

All the contestants started at the gate and waited for the third green light to go out which was the signal to run. Once it did everyone took off but couldn't get out because there was no room, this wasn't a problem for Elijah who shoots the web and flings himself free from the others he also sees Bowsette who was inside her shell and using her fire breath to fly while spinning. Elijah then lands on the ground and begins to run where he sees Todoroki right beside him.

“(He's quick)” Elijah thought to himself.

As they were running, his spider sense goes off then looks to see Mineta about to attack but is hit in the fac by a metal claw sending him flying.

“(these are the robots from the exam…)”Elijah thought but then noticed one in his way.

He smiles then shoots two weblines backs up, and slingshots himself over the robots. While he was in the air, he looked back to see Todoroki had Frozen the rest of them but then they began to fall over. Elijah then lands on the ground, thinking that he had to lead until Todoroki caught up to him.

“You're pretty quick, mate”said Elijah.

Todoroki stares at him for a second and goes back to focusing on the race. Elijah looked back to see Bakugo and Bowsette right catching up to them. The part of the race had a bunch of pillars with strings attached,Elijah then web zips through the obstacle with ease with Todoroki still beside him. Bakugo and Bowsette are still catching up to them. They all got to the final obstacle where the seem to be nothing until they hear an explosion.

“(Landmine…spider sense,don’t fail me now)”Elijah thought as he cautiously walks through.

He then notices Bakugo and Todoroki fighting amongst themselves while not triggering the explosions.Elijah then saw Bowsette leaning against a gate,taking deep breaths.Before he could go over to her he sees Izuku coming in on a piece of the robot and gets an idea,He shot a web to the piece hitching a ride. They pass both Todoroki,Bakugo,and Bowsette, Elijah then waves at Bakugo which infuriates him.

“Deku!! What do you think you're doing?!” he shouts.

Elijah then lets go and begins to run, he then sees Bakugo and Todoroki alongside him.

“(Nope)”Elijah thought as he let them pass.

Izuku took first place, Bakugo and Todoroki tied for 2nd, Elijah coming in at 3rd, and Bowsette coming in 4th. Elijah then put an arm around Izuku.

“Way to get the win”said Elijah.

“Thanks”said Izuku till he noticed Bowsette coming over.

“Way to go Izuku an-”she begins to say but Elijah then let’s go of Izuku and walks away.

“Eli-”
“It’s fine,Izuku”said Bowsette with a sad smile on her face.

After everyone got back from the run,Midnight was up on the podium again showing the scoreboard all the way down to number 42.

“Only the top 42 will advance to the next round but don’t feel bad,we have prepared other opportunities for you to shine. Now the real fun is about to begin”said Midnight.

The board begins to spin then stops at cavalry battle.

“Now allow me to explain. The participants will form teams of two-to-four people as they see fit. In theory,it’s basically the same as a regular playground game but there is a difference…each player has been assigned a point value based on the results from the obstacle course”Midnight explains.

“Reasonable”said Elijah.

A board then shows how many points everyone had with Izuku having ten million.

“The point assignments goes up by increments of five starting from the bottom. For example, 42nd Place is worth five points, 44 is worth 10 points and the point value assigned to the first place winner is… worth 10 million points” midnight explains.

“( Well now I'm glad I didn't wi… oh bollocks, Izuku)”Elijah thought to himself then notice Izuku sweating profusely.

“First Years, listen up! These are the rules that you will abide by. The game itself will last 15 minutes, individual points value will be added together to reach the teams total. Everyone will know how much you're worth thanks to your headbands, swipe as many headbands as you can to race your team's score. Stolen headbands must be worn from the neck up so the more you steal the harder it will be to manage them. Another thing, even if your headband gets stolen or your team Falls down, you can keep playing until time's up. This is going to be tough, you may use your quirks as much as you like. But there are still rules! Make a team fall on purpose and I'll slap you with a red card and you’ll be disqualified”said Midnight.

“(I should probably team up with… no, I'm still mad at her so-)”

“You have 15 minutes to build your team, I recommend you get started”said Midnight.

A lot of class 1A that made it surrounded Bakugo in the attempts of trying to team with him, Elijah then noticed izuku was by himself then walked over to him and rested an arm over his shoulder.

“ Let's kick some tail” said Elijah,then noticed Uraraka walking over.

“ Hey,Deku! Let’s team up” she said.

“Eli-kun,Uraraka! Are you guys sure? Everyone’ll be after me and my 10 million stupid points! Tell me you guys aren't kidding” Izuku exclaims, teary-eyed.

“If we run away the whole time, then we'll win, right?” she asks.

“ She has a point, besides I always got your back” said Elijah.

“ Plus it's better to team up with people you like!”said Uraraka with a wide smile.

“( Did she just confess?! Bold move) I really don’t believe in the whole team thing” said Elijah.

“ What about you, Deku, and Koopa-san?”Uraraka asks.

“I don't believe in consistency” he answers.

“ I think it's smart to find people you can communicate with smoothly. In fact..”Izuku then walked over to Iida who turned around.Izuku explained his idea to the fullest, however..

“ It's a good strategy but I'm sorry. I'm afraid I must refuse your offer. Since this all started, I've been losing to you. Please don't take this as an insult, you're a great friend but if I continue to follow you, I'll never get stronger. Bakugo answer the rookie have challenged you already, but they aren't the only one who see you as a rival” he says turning away and beginning to walk.

“( I get where he's coming from)” Elijah thought to himself.

“ Midoriya, I'll try my best to defeat you” said Iida, continuing to walk away.

“I guess there's-”
“ Too late, I saw her join up with rando team,A team of three isn't bad but we could use two more ” said Elijah.

“Oh perfect. Team up with me, person in first place!!”

Elijah then turned around to see a pink hair girl with a bunch of gadgets up close to Izuku's face frightening him.

“And who might you be?” Elijah asks, cautiously.

“ I'm a student in the support course, names Mai Hatsume” she exclaims pulling up her goggles.

“ Oh! You're that weirdo from the obstacle course” said Uraraka.

“We haven't met but I'd like to use your current Fame to my personal advantage”said Hatsume.

“Straightforward into the point, I like that”said Elijah.

“If I team up with you then I'll be in the spotlight as part of the team that everyone is keeping an eye on, which means my super cute little babies will inevitably be seen on the big company CEOs who are tuning into the sports festival and following the line of reasoning this is the best way for me and my marvelous gadgets to be recruited”said Hatsume as she kept moving closer to Izuku.

“We're not exactly in the position to turn down people and her gadgets could come in handy” said Elijah but then noticed that the two were geeking out over a jetpack.

Elijah then looked around and saw Tokoyami standing there by himself and walks over to him but the only person noticing being Uraraka.

“Oy, join up with my team”said Elijah.

“Really? You want me on your team?” he asks.

“ Yeah, with that dark shadow of yours, it's like an extra body protecting us. Izuku and Uraraka think all we have to do is survive to win but with both of our quirks, we could steal some points off of teens without them noticing” said Elijah.

“Alright, I'm in”said Tokoyami.

Chapter 15: Sports Festival Arc:Cavalry Battle

Chapter Text

Everyone was getting ready,As was Izuku's team.

“ Everyone ready,Eli-kun?”Izuku asks.

“Ready!” he replies behind Izuku.

“ Uraraka?” he asks.

“ Yeah”she replies on the right side.

“Hatsume?”he asks.

“Yep!”she replies on the left.

“Tokoyami?” he asks.

“Yes”he replies from the front.

“ Let's do this!”said Izuku.

“Hendrix-kun, how come you didn't join Hagakure’s team?” Uraraka asks.

“I think she’ll understand when I explain..hopefully”said Elijah,looking away in the distance.

“ Let the cavalry battle begin!” said Midnight.

Immediately, all the team went after their team which made Izuku whimper.

“It's basically one big battle for 1 million points” yelled a student with white hair.

“ Hahaha, I'll be taking that headband, Midoriya! No hard feelings, Eli”said Hagakure.

“(Cute)”Elijah thought to himself.

“They're not even giving us a chance, huh?Such as the fate of the pursued”said Tokoyami.

“ Here they come!”said Hatsume.

“We're running away!“said Izuku.

Just as they were about to, they found themselves sinking to the ground.

“Bloody hell?”said Elijah, confused as he tried to move.

“I can't move” said Uraraka.

“ I'm stuck”said Tokoyami.

“ Uraraka,Hatsume,Eli-kun! Watch your faces!” said Izuku.

The three of them close their eyes then Izuku pressed the button to a jetpack and they blast off into the sky right over the teams. Jiro uses her earphone jack to attack but Dark Shadow smacks them away.

“Good work. Please, continue to watch over our blind spots, Dark Shadow”said Tokoyami.

“ Got it” it responds.

“ I've got to admit, your dark shadow is pretty impressive. If I could I would salute it”said Elijah.

“ You're the one who chose me”said Tokoyami.

“We're Landing” said Uraraka.

As they got closer to the ground, the hover boots activated and Uraraka used her Quirk to make the landing easy.

“ So what do you think of my babies? Aren't they precious? Cutest can be manufactured, you know” said Hatsume.
“Their Ace babies”said Elijah, causing the others to be confused.

“Ace is a word for awesome in the UK and he's right.Your babies are amazing” said Izuku.

“Oh,thank you”said Hatsume.

“ I'm the one who's making us float”said Uraraka, under her breath.

“( Somebody's getting jealous) Elijah thought to himself.

“Bwahahahahaha,This is too easy. It's not a fight, it's more like a massacre” said Mineta who is hiding on Shoji.

“ You might want to look up what Massacre means”said Elijah.

“ It's Shoji with Mineta but who else?”Izuku asks.

“What we need is breathing room”said Tokoyami.

Uraraka tries to move but when a mineta's balls got stuck to her boots.

“Izuku, duck!”Eljiah yells.

He does as a tongue came from out of nowhere.

“ Asui is in there as well, thanks for the warning”said Izuku.

Izuku then press the button for the jetpack and they take off into the air again breaking off one of Uraraka’s boots.

“ Ahh, my baby’s ruined”said Hatsume.

“Sorry”said Izuku.

“Uhh, incoming Dickhead”said Elijah.

Izuku then noticed Bakugo behind them, Elijah then shot a web to his face as he was in front of Izuku, then Dark Shadow shielded them from his explosion as the crowd cheered.

“Bye dickhead”said Elijah as they landed.

Bakugo begins to fall but is caught by his teammates.

“Uraraka, how you holding up?” Elijah asks.

“ It's hard to land right with just one foot” she responds.

“ Right, we can't take the skies anymore, not with the broken boot. We'll have to rely on Dark Shadow,Eli’s webs, and my-”

But before he could finish, he noticed Todoroki’s team was in front of them.

“Glad Koopa-hime isn’t on their team”said Elijah,nervously.

“I thought we had it made, guess I was wrong” said Izuku.

“ I didn't think this confrontation would happen until later in the contest. He seems to have it out for you, Midoriya”said Tokoyami.

“ Games only halfway over.We can't stop now!”said Izuku, noticing Kaminari sparking up and a bunch of other teams headed their way.

Dark Shadow covers them but couldn't protect Elijah who took a couple of zaps but surprisingly was okay.

“( I can absorb electricity.. Ace)”Elijah thought to himself.

“Eli-kun, are you-”

“ I'm fine, just found out I can absorb it like a sponge”said Elijah.

Izuku tried using the jetpack but a little bit of that lightning struck it, making it malfunction. Todoroki's team starts to move in fast and quickly catching up to them.

“Damn we can't catch a break”said Elijah, frustrated.

“Eli-kun, any chance you can fire off electricity?”Izuku asks.

Before Elijah could answer they stopped as they had nowhere left to run with Todoroki's Team catching up, they kept trying to freeze them but they quickly moved out of the way.Then out of nowhere, the million point headband was taken.They noticed Todoroki's team on the other side with the headband, surprising Midoriya.

“ Let's get those points back” said Uraraka.

“Kaminari’s still a problem.It'll be smarter for us to try for other points now”said Tokoyami.

“ Agreed”Elijah added.

“We can't! We don't know who's got the other headbands, this is our only chance!” said Izuku.

“ Then let's go” said Uraraka.

As their team got closer, Elijah noticed Todoroki about to use his flames but Izuku used one for all on his eyes to search for the 10 million points. He then raised his arm slowly but surely as he grabbed a 10 million points from under Todoroki’s nose.

“ I got it!”said Izuku.

“Wow, with 11 seconds left. Team midoriya who lost their 10 million points took it right back, but it's almost time to end it folks”said Present Mic.

“Uh, wait a minute. Please tell me I got something wrong with my eyes”said Hatsune.

“He tricked us”said Izuku.

“ He makes the headbands up. There is no way we'd leave the prize on top,you underestimate us”said Yaoyorozu.

With such little time, Team Midoriya charges at them at the same time as Bakugo coming in and doing the same. Elijah then got an idea and quickly fires a web and stole one of the headbands of Bakugo without him noticing.

“ Time's up!! With that, second round is officially over!”said Present Mic.

“Just in time” Elijah mumbles.

“ Now, let's take a look at who are top four teams are! In first place, Team Todoroki! In second place, Team Bakugo! In third place is Testute–Wait, what? It's team Shinso? when did they come back from the dead?” Present Mic asks.

“Hey Deku?”Uraraka asks as she walks over to him.

“ Guys, I'm… really sorry” he said with shadows covering his eyes.

“ You really ain't got nothing to apologize for.If anything we owe you an apology”said Elijah which made him look up in confusion.

“ When Todoroki was shaken by your first attack…I tried to grab the 10 million point headband but things didn't go as planned. Still, I got one that was around his head… where his guard was at the weakest”Tokoyami explain as dark shadow had a headband number 615 on it.

“ And I stole one from Bakugo while he was distracted, which was 300 something”said Elijah.

“Midoriya, you're the one who created the opening for both of us and ensured our advancement”said Tokoyami which made Izuku tear up.

“And in fourth place, Team Midoriya.These four teams will advance to the final round! Now, take an hour lunch break before we start the halftime and afternoon festivities”said Present Mic.

As they all went to get lunch, Elijah and the Izuku were walking together until Bowsette was running up to them.

“ I'll catch you later-”
“ Come on,Eli-kun. I'm sure whatever happened between you two you can-”

“ I'm not at that point just yet”said Elijah as he walked up to Toru.

“Hey you!” she said, cheerfully.

“ So looking forward to what they do for halftime”Elijah asks.

“Umhmm. What about you?”she asks.

“ Can't tell you”said Elijah.

“ Aww, no fair” she playfully whined and followed it by laughing.

With Izuku and Bowsette…

“I'm sorry, I tried to-”

“ I keep telling you you don't have to do anything for me, you guys did really good”said Bowsette.

“ Whose team were you on? Izuku asks but notices a frustrated look on her face.

“ I was on team Shinso but…” she began to say but noticed Todoroki coming over.

“ Do you mind if I speak to Midoriya?” he asks.

“Actually we w-”

“ It's fine, Deku. We'll talk when you get back” she assures him with a smile and walks away.

Back with Elijah...

Elijah was about to grab head to the cafeteria until he saw his Uncle and walks over to him.

"After lunch,stage 2"he said then walks away.

"I'll be ready...(He spends most of the time with Ember and writing terrible music) I can't let her get to me"said Elijah,tighting his fist.

Chapter 16: Sports Festival Arc:Halftime&Between Friends

Chapter Text

Bowsette’s Pov

After having lunch,Bowsette and the rest went to the stands. She sits next to Izuku but notices that Elijah was nowhere to be seen.

“How come Elijah’s not here?”she asks.

“ Don’t know. Hakumure might know”said Izuku, who then sees her next to Ojiro and Jiro.

“Hakumure-san,have you seen Eli-kun?”Bowsette asks.

“I haven’t seen him since lunch”she answers.

“And now performing the halftime event,please welcome LETHEL!!!”said Present Mic.

As the band is shown on the stage,the crowd roars with excitement,Izuku and Bowsette recognized.

“The stealth hero:Prowler!”said Izuku in awe.

“Also Eli-kun’s uncle?!”Bowsette but then noticed most of her classmates looking at her.

“WHAT?!” they said in unison.

“His uncle is Prowler?” Kaminari asks.

“Whoa”said Kirishima.

S’up U.A!!”said Hobie as he starts playing on his guitar.

He starts playing a low baseline which the stadium begins to stomp the ground to.
“There ain’t really nothin’ that you owe me (Okay),
When I touch the stage you can’t hold me down.
When I get rowdy,you gon’ know me(Okay).
In the fast lane,you can’t slow me down.
When I speed off.
Swing around the city,you might see us.
Got me feeling like a man,I’m a phenom
And I don’t think they understand i’m feeling free,
Ain’t no one controlling me now
I know that’s something they don’t like to see now
You can take a seat,I’ll take a lead now
Freedom ain’t a thing that comes cheap,but
I’d rather pay the fee, If I know I won’t be

Elijah’s POV

He waits till there are down with their first two songs then waits for his uncle.

“Thank you U.A. You’ve been great but I got a surprise for our last song”said Hobie.

Elijah then takes a deep breath,then starts playing on his guitar as the podium he’s on starts to go up revealing to the crowd.

With Izuku and Bowsette…

Izuku and Bowsette were stunned but then cheered,the rest of the class did the same except for Bakugo, Todoroki, and Iida who was shocked to see him on stage.

Elijah then went to the mic.

“Yeah eff this system
I quit,won’t miss it
Rough and Wicked
Squandered,the gifted
Lies been twisted
I’ll be the Misfit Ohh,
Yeah, I’ll be the Misfit
Plot’s been written
I’ll stay unscripted
Fought resistance
Don’t want to give in
Got my Rhythm,I’ll be the Misfit Ohhh
Yeah,I’ll be the Misfit”Elijah sings causing the crowd to cheer.

“I’ll be the Misfit”by Gameboyjones&Breeton Boi
SPIDER-PUNK SONG | Ill Be The Misfit - GameboyJones × Breeton Boi [Hobie Brown]

After he finished, the crowd was cheering. Elijah,Hobie, and the rest of the band got off stage.

“How’d you think I did?”Elijah asks, nervously.

“You hear that? You crushed it”said Hobie ruffling his nephews hair but then hears his phone ringing seeing Rachnera’s name.

“That would be your mum to curse me out..pray for me”said Hobie as he walked away.

Minutes later, Elijah changed back to his tracksuit and walked out to the field where he was greeted with the sight of all the girls in class 1-A wearing cheerleader uniforms with looks of displeasure on their faces.

“ Looks like class 1-A is goin’ full-on fan service” said Present Mic.

“How did you get roped into this,Jiro?Elijah asks,snickering but then notices Kaminari and Mineta cackling.

“What?! You tricked us? You're going to regret this!”Yaoyorozu yells.
“ Well that answers my quest-” He cut himself off when he sees Bowsette wearing one that was a bit snug on her.

She then notice him staring at her and turns red and tries to cover herself with her tail.

“ Umm..Could you..not..look..over here?”she asks sheepishly.

“Why is it that I always end up falling for that little perverts stupid schemes?I even use my Quirk to make these outfits”Yaoyorozu sighs.

“ Ugh,I hate those guys!” said Jiro that she threw the pom-poms to the ground.

“ Well, we do have a little time before the final start, and I kind of do like these uniforms,so…How about we just roll with it” Toru suggests.

“ Are you crazy?!”Jiro asks.

“Always seeing the bright side of things”said Elijah.

They were told to choose lots to decide their opponents.Before anyone could choose,Ojiro withdrew from the competition, shocking everyone. A couple of others did as well from that team except for Bowsette. Everyone saw who they were facing and to Eljiah’s surprise, he and Bowsette were going to be facing each other. He then went to sit with the others until he saw Ojiro talking to Bowsette and hid behind a corner.

“Why didn’t you withdraw Koopa-chan? You were used too,so why not”he asks.

“I have my own reasons for not withdrawing…I felt the same way you did but..I’m gonna prove that I should” she answers, gripping her fist.

“I see”said Ojiro.

“I also don’t wanna fall behind Deku and Eli-kun”said Bowsette.

“Then I wish you luck”said Ojiro as he walked ahead.

Elijah then took a deep breath then walked out of the corner to the surprise of Bowsette.

“O-oh, hey Eli-”

“Listen Bowsie,I’ve been a bell(dick) to you..I’m sorry”said Elijah.

“No I should apologize,I know how much your music means to you,still friends?”she asks.

“Of course but don’t think I’m gonna go easy during the match”said Elijah.

“Wouldn’t have any other way”said Bowsette with a toothy grin.

They both then went to do different things, Elijah decided to watch the side games,but Bowsette decided to head to the changing area. After that, they end up watching the first match of the tournament which Izuku wins, the 2nd match which Kaminari lost to the plant girl,and the third match Tenya Iida vs Mei Hatsume which he won after being used to show off her inventions. Elijah was enjoying the show but then he noticed Izuku writing and saying things out loud.Bowsette then noticed Uraraka leaving and followed behind her, Elijah then notice the next match was Mina Ashida vs Yuga Aoyama.

(Writer's notes: I'm just going to put the Team Four Star version here because it's that quick)

Mina melts his belt which makes his pants fall off which he quickly picks up.

“I see London,I see France,I see in the ICU!!” she said as she uppercutted him.

“Mina now has my respect” said Elijah.

“ She didn't before? Speaking of which, I'm surprised the others aren't trying to talk to you after halftime” said Izuku.

“ I threatened to electrocute most of them"he said with a grin.
Meanwhile with Bowsette…
She goes into the waiting room where she sees Uraraka sitting at a table by herself until she notices her.

“You ok?”Bowsette asks.

“I’m going against Bakugo,so…not really”said Uraraka,weakly smiling but then noticed Bowsette sit next to her.

“ I know how you feel… he can be a jerk, but he can't be beaten.Just because he has a flashy Quirk doesn't mean he's invincible, everyone has a weakness and I believe you'll find it and make your way to the finals”said Bowsette.

“ Right but what about you?” she asks.

“Hmm?What are you-”

“ Aren't you going against Hendrix-kun? Are you going to be okay fighting the guy you like?” she asks which makes her blush then sighs in defeat.

“ Everyone but him, honestly…I'm confident I can beat him. Last time it was teams and I was blinded by rage but this time, I know what to expect”said Bowsette.

“So what do you like him?”she asks.

“ Well… that's a bit of a story and funny enough Bakugo was a part of it,I was surrounded by him and his friends and he took something that I got from my mom”said Bowsette.

Flashback…

“Give it back”she demanded, trying to reach for it as one of the boys threw it to Bakugo.

“Tell you what, stop hanging protecting Deku and I might consider it”said Bakugo.

“ No” she answers, which irritates him.

“Hey!”

They all look up to see Elijah, running at them, three of his friends got scared and ran away.

“Tsk, I'm not scared of you”said Bakugo, running towards him.
“Should be” said Elijah as he jumped onto a tree branch, shot a web onto his foot then jumped down which caused him to end up in the tree.

“Argh,get me down from here!” he demanded.

“Give her back what you stole and I might consider it”said Elijah.

“Fine”said Bakugo.

Elijah then let go of the web which caused him to fall to the ground.Bakugo then smirks then throws the object into the woods as far as he could then ran off.Tears begin to form on Bowsette’s face.

“ Cheer up, Bowsie”said Elijah.

“B-but-”

“ Was this what you were looking for?” Elijah asks.

She then look up to see Elijah holding a crown in his hand.

“How did you get it back?”she asks, grabbing it.

“ I snagged in midair.It was a gift for your birthday, right? what's a princess without her crown?” he answers with a smile which makes the girl blush.

“ Thank you Eli-kun”she said with a toothy grin.

Flashback over…

“ I doubt that he remembers it but it meant a lot to me” she says while twirling a lock of her hair.

“ Have you asked him?” Uraraka asks.

“ It's not exactly something you can just bring up.But anyway, I came here to cheer you up before your match with explosive jerk, not to gossip about guys”she answers.
“ But that's what friends are for right?” Uraraka asks.

“We're friends?” Bowsette asks.

Uraraka was stunned until she saw a smirk on Bowsette’s face which caused both of them to laugh.Just then,Izuku and Iida came through the door.

“Looks like you're in a better mood”said Izuku.

“ Something between us girls.Well,I'll catch you later,Uraraka” said Bowsette walking out of the door.

End of chapter.

Chapter 17: Sports Festival Arc:Elijah vs Bowsette 2

Notes:

Elijah vs Bowsette part 2,Let's go

Chapter Text

The crowd erupted in cheers as Bakugo raised his fist in victory, having defeated Uraraka in an explosive match. Shortly after, Kirishima powered through an arm wrestling contest to secure his place in the next round. Now, the stadium buzzed with anticipation for the next fight: Elijah versus Bowsette.

Elijah strode confidently into the arena, greeted by thunderous applause and cheers. He waved at the crowd, his demeanor cool and assured. Moments later, Bowsette entered to her own wave of support, her fiery personality mirrored by the cheers of her fans. The air between the two combatants was electric as they prepared to face off.

From the stands, Jiro leaned over to Midoriya. “Hey, you’ve known both of them for a while. Who’s going to take this one?”

Midoriya scratched his head, clearly conflicted. “Uh… that’s hard to say. Eli-kun’s Quirk gives him incredible agility, the ability to spin webs, and his Venom Blast can be a game-changer. But Bow-chan isn’t just strong—her shell acts as a near-impenetrable shield, and her fire breath makes her dangerous at any range. It’s going to come down to who outsmarts the other.”

In the arena, the two competitors faced each other, their eyes locked as they sized each other up.

*“Last time we fought, it was indoors, and I had the advantage,”Elijah thought, narrowing his eyes.“This open space changes everything. My webs won’t be as effective here. I’ll need to rely on my Venom Blast to secure the win.”*

*“He knows I’m too fast to pin down with his webs,” Bowsette analyzed, her fists tightening. “But I can’t go charging in recklessly with my shell—I might end up out of bounds. My fire breath could work, but his spider sense makes landing a hit tricky. I’ll have to lure him into a trap.”

“Begin!” Midnight’s voice cut through the tension.

Bowsette wasted no time, sprinting toward Elijah in a fiery blur. Elijah anticipated her move, leaping high into the air and aiming a leg sweep as he came down. Bowsette recovered instantly, spinning on her heels and unleashing a burst of fire breath. Elijah dodged sideways, his spider reflexes keeping him just out of range.

He countered with his Venom Blast, aiming for her exposed side, but Bowsette raised her shell to deflect the attack. Sparks flew as the electricity dissipated harmlessly against her shell.

“You’re going to have to try harder than that!” Bowsette taunted, smirking as she launched herself forward again.

Elijah dodged her next strike and attempted to ensnare her with his webs, but she tore through them with ease. “You should’ve known that wouldn’t work,” she said, pivoting to keep him in her sights.

Elijah suddenly darted toward her, reaching out with his hand. Bowsette sidestepped, narrowly avoiding his touch.

“I need to land the Venom Strike, but she’s not giving me any openings… Wait! Her tail!” Elijah’s eyes lit up as an idea formed. *“If I can grab her tail, I can hit her with the Venom Strike and end this!”*

Bowsette, noticing his shift in focus, narrowed her eyes. *“He’s planning something. I just need to stay a step ahead.”*

Elijah activated his camouflage, blending seamlessly into the surroundings as he moved to flank her. Bowsette sniffed the air, her lips curling into a smile. She spun around and swiped at the invisible presence behind her, her claws grazing fabric. A torn piece of Elijah’s tracksuit fluttered to the ground as he deactivated his camouflage, rubbing his neck sheepishly.

“No use hiding, Eli-kun. The nose knows,” Bowsette teased, her grin widening.

Elijah chuckled, shaking his head. “Guess I’ll have to try something else.”

From the stands, Izuku’s eyes lit up with realization. “Bow-chan can smell him! That’s how she’s countering his camouflage.”

“Isn’t there *any* way for him to win?” Toru asked, leaning forward anxiously.

“If he can land his Venom Strike, he still has a chance,” Izuku replied, his voice laced with both worry and excitement.

Back in the arena, Elijah smiled. “Alright, Bowsie. Let’s finish this.”

“Couldn’t agree more,” Bowsette replied, her fiery confidence burning brighter than ever.

The two charged at each other, full speed. Just as they were about to collide, Elijah leaped high into the air, soaring over Bowsette’s head. As he came down, his hand darted out, grabbing hold of her tail.

“KYAA!!” Bowsette shrieked, her face turning an uncharacteristic shade of red. The sound froze Elijah in place for a split second, confusion flashing across his face.

“Huh?” he muttered, but before he could capitalize on his move, Bowsette whipped her tail in a powerful arc, sending him hurtling into the arena wall. The impact was deafening, and Elijah slid to the ground, landing just outside the boundary line.

“The winner is Bowsette!” Midnight declared, her voice amplified by the roaring crowd.

In the stands... Kirishima leaned back, scratching his head. “Man, I thought Eli had that one.”

“There’s no way Godzilla beat him—I couldn’t even beat him!” Bakugo growled, arms crossed as he glared at the screen.

“Deku?” Uraraka asked, noticing Midoriya’s thoughtful expression.

“I thought he had it when he grabbed her tail,” Izuku admitted, frowning. His gaze shifted to the replay, where Bowsette’s face was still visibly flushed. “Something about that reaction…”

“I’m going to check on him,” Toru announced, standing up.

“I’ll come too,” Izuku offered, following her.

In the infirmary... Elijah groaned as he opened his eyes, finding himself lying on a cot with Recovery Girl at his side.

“Oh, you’re awake,” she said, her tone warm but firm.

“How bad is it, doc?” Elijah asked, sitting up slowly and wincing.

“Nothing too serious. Be grateful she didn’t put you through two walls,” Recovery Girl replied, shaking her head. “Especially after what you did.”

“What did I do?” Elijah asked, confusion evident in his voice.

“Tails are a sensitive spot for reptiles. When you grabbed hers, it was… well, let’s just say it was an intimate area,” she explained, glancing at him over her glasses.

Elijah’s face turned bright red as the realization hit him. “Bollocks.”

The door creaked open, and Bowsette stepped inside hesitantly, her face partially obscured by shadows. Elijah tensed, unsure of her mood. Before she could say a word, he slid off the bed and prostrated himself on the floor.

“I am so sorry! I didn’t know—” Elijah began, his voice filled with regret.

“It’s fine!” Bowsette interrupted, her hands waving in embarrassment. “You didn’t know. I just… wish it hadn’t ended like that. I wanted to beat you fair and square.”

Elijah looked up, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. “Honestly? I think you would’ve won either way.”

Before Bowsette could respond, the door opened again, and Toru and Izuku stepped in.

“Are you okay?” Toru asked, concern etched on her face.

“I’m fine,” Elijah said with a small smile. “A little disappointed I didn’t win, but I’ll live.”

Bowsette crossed her arms, glancing away to hide the blush still lingering on her face. Toru tilted her head, her curiosity piqued. “Eli-kun, why didn’t you use the Venom Strike when you grabbed her tail?”

Izuku opened his mouth to explain but was quickly silenced as Bowsette muffled him with her hand. “The important thing is he’s okay, and I’m advancing,” she said, her voice tinged with nervousness.

“Fair enough,” Toru said with a shrug. “You know what? We should all hang out after the sports festival.”

Elijah perked up. “What do you have in mind?”

“We could hit up an arcade,” Toru suggested.

“Or karaoke,” Bowsette added.

“I like that idea,” Toru said, nodding. “Karaoke sounds fun.”

As they discussed their plans, Elijah turned to Izuku. “You’re going against Todoroki next, right? Are you ready for that?”

Izuku clenched his fists, determination shining in his eyes. “I’m going to give it everything I’ve got,” he said, his voice steady.

The group smiled at his resolve, their spirits lifted as they looked forward to what was still to come.

End of Chapter.

Chapter 18: Sports Fevstival Arc:Bowsette Vs Bakugo and Family drama

Notes:

Long chapter to make up for the wait

Chapter Text

The battles raged on with unrelenting intensity. Each clash showcased the raw determination and power of UA’s first-year students. Izuku had fought valiantly but ultimately lost to Todoroki, while Ida managed to secure a victory in his round. Tokoyami’s shadowy strength triumphed over Mina, and Kirishima fell to Bakugo’s explosive might, leading to a fierce semifinal showdown. Ida gave it his all but was overwhelmed, leaving Bakugo and Tokoyami to face off next.

Bakugo emerged victorious, his relentless aggression pushing Tokoyami’s Dark Shadow to its limits. Meanwhile, Bowsette stood undefeated, her powerful and strategic combat style clearing every obstacle in her path. As the next match loomed, Bowsette waited patiently in the arena, her fiery determination unshaken.

She glanced across the ring as her next opponent stepped forward—a girl with light brown hair adorned with hazel highlights, squirrel ears, and a bushy tail to match. Dressed in a UA tracksuit, her confident stride revealed both charm and strength.

With Elijah and Izuku…

“Wait, who’s the cute girl?” Elijah asked, leaning forward with interest.

Izuku adjusted his seat, scanning the arena. “I think her name is Makoto Nanaya. If I’m not mistaken, she’s in the same class as Jackie.”

“Jackie’s in there too?” Elijah raised a brow, surprised.

“She participated in the Cavalry Battle, but her team didn’t make it past the preliminaries,” Izuku explained.

Elijah smirked. “Definitely gonna roast her later. But do you think Bowsette can take this girl down?”

Izuku gave it some thought. “Bowsette’s strong, but Makoto looks pretty agile. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.”

“Oh, Bowsette’s got this in the bag,” Elijah said confidently, leaning back with a grin.

With Bowsette…

Bowsette examined Makoto carefully, her eyes narrowing. Her opponent’s gauntlets were an unusual design, brimming with potential surprises. Before she could analyze further, the bell rang.

Makoto wasted no time, dashing forward with incredible speed. Bowsette barely had time to react as a flurry of punches came her way. She raised her arms, blocking the initial strikes, and used her tail to swipe Makoto off her feet, sending her skidding back.

“She’s quick,” Bowsette muttered.

Makoto smirked, brushing herself off. “I’m more than just quick.”

She charged again, attempting to grab Bowsette’s tail. Anticipating this, Bowsette retreated into her shell. Makoto hesitated, startled as the shell began to spin rapidly, flames igniting beneath it. The fiery shell floated momentarily before rushing toward Makoto like a missile. The first attack missed, but the second grazed her arm, leaving a faint burn mark.

“Not bad,” Makoto said, adjusting her stance. “But I’m not out yet!”

As Bowsette emerged from her shell, Makoto prepared for another strike. However, Bowsette switched tactics, launching herself into the air and delivering a devastating dropkick. Makoto couldn’t react in time, the impact sending her tumbling out of the ring.

“The winner is Bowsette Koopa!” Midnight announced, her voice ringing across the arena. The crowd erupted in cheers.

Makoto picked herself up, rubbing her arm with a wry smile. “Gotta admit, you caught me off guard with that last move. No wonder you beat that spider guy.”

“Thanks,” Bowsette replied, offering a small smile as Makoto exited the arena.

With Izuku and Elijah…

“See? What did I tell you?” Elijah said smugly, nudging Izuku.

“You’re right,” Izuku admitted. “She’s incredible.”

Elijah’s attention shifted to the upcoming match. “Looks like whoever wins next will face her in the finals.”

“Todoroki versus Bakugo,” Izuku murmured. “That’s going to be intense.”

The arena fell silent as Todoroki and Bakugo entered the ring. The clash was as fierce as expected, with Todoroki’s ice and fire clashing against Bakugo’s unyielding explosions. In the end, Bakugo emerged victorious, his explosive power overwhelming Todoroki.

As the crowd roared in anticipation, the arena cleared for the final match. Bakugo strutted into the ring, his signature scowl fixed firmly in place. Bowsette followed, her steps steady and confident.

“I know your last round was disappointing, but cheer up,” Bowsette teased. “I’ll give you a real fight.”

Bakugo smirked, cracking his knuckles. “Looks like I’m having turtle soup for dinner.”

The bell rang, and Bowsette charged, closing the distance in seconds. Bakugo responded by creating a smokescreen and launching himself into the air. Bowsette countered by firing the spikes from her shell, one of them grazing his arm and another his leg.

“Damn it!” Bakugo hissed through gritted teeth.

“What was that about turtle soup?” Bowsette quipped, her voice laced with mockery.

“Shut up, Godzilla!” Bakugo retorted, diving toward her. His momentum was cut short as Bowsette rolled into a spinning attack, slamming into him with full force.

“Looks like Bakugo might be in trouble,” Present Mic announced excitedly. “That spin-dash could make Sonic proud!”

“You’re just giving me more ammo!” Bakugo growled, recovering quickly. He grabbed Bowsette’s shell mid-roll, hoisting her into the air before slamming her down and detonating an explosion directly into one of the shell’s openings.

Bowsette emerged from her shell with scorch marks across her skin, kneeling on the ground. Despite the pain, she glared at Bakugo with unwavering resolve.

“Is that all you’ve got?” she taunted, rising to her feet.

With Elijah and Izuku…

“That hit her directly,” Izuku said, wincing.

“I hate to admit it, but it was a smart move,” Elijah replied, though his tone lacked enthusiasm.

Back in the Arena…

“You might as well give up,” Bakugo sneered. “I don’t expect much from the weakest link.”

Bowsette’s eyes narrowed. “What did you call me?”

“You heard me,” Bakugo continued. “When it comes to you three, I always thought Deku was the weakest. But now I see it’s you.”

Her expression darkened, but she forced a smirk. “This is why Jackie will never give you a chance.”

Bakugo froze, his face twisting in anger. “I’ve got more of a chance with her than you do with the Brit.”

“I’m sorry, what?” Bowsette asked, her voice sharp.

“You think I didn’t notice? That Brit would choose Deku over a female Gamera with a heavier shell,” Bakugo spat, grinning maliciously.

Bowsette’s patience snapped. Her hair ignited into a fiery red, and her nails sharpened into claws. The audience gasped at the transformation. "COME HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT!!”Bowsette shouts.

“What the hell is that?” Bakugo asked, his bravado faltering.

“War God Mode,” Bowsette declared, her voice echoing with newfound power.

"War wha-"Before Bakugo could react, she was upon him, delivering a rapid barrage of punches and a final uppercut that sent him crashing into the arena floor. The ground cracked beneath him, forming a crater where he lay unconscious.

“The winner is Bowsette Koopa!” Midnight announced. The crowd erupted in wild applause.

Bowsette took a deep breath, her hair reverting to its usual blonde as she calmed down.

The Awards Ceremony…

After the final battle, all the participants gathered in the arena for the awards ceremony. Fireworks lit up the sky as the podiums were revealed: Bowsette stood tall on the highest platform, Bakugo was chained and muzzled on the second, and Todoroki occupied the third.

“What the heck is up with Bakugo?” Mineta asked.

“Honestly, this look suits him,” Elijah said with a smirk.

“He’s been acting feral since he woke up,” Kirishima added, shaking his head.

“Where’s Ida?” Elijah asked, suddenly noticing the absence of their class representative.

“He left due to a family emergency,” Izuku explained quietly.

Post-Ceremony...

Elijah sought out his uncle, Hobie, who was carrying his guitar. He found him deep in conversation with a familiar figure: Midnight. Elijah ducked behind a wall, curious.

“You could’ve told me you’d show up,” Midnight said, her tone sharp.

“Come off it, Nemuri,” Hobie replied.

“I love it when you call me by my name,” she said with a flirtatious edge.

“Stop it. I’m here for the crowd, nothing else,” Hobie shot back.

“ With your nephew” said Midnight.

“ What's that supposed to mean?” Hobie asks.

“ I'm just saying, you spend more time on concerts,Shino, the baby, and your nephew than the twins”said Midnight.

Hobbie glared at her“ You are unbelievable. I'm only allowed to see them for as long as possible thanks to you and your damn lawyer”.

“You're the one who left me!” Midnight shouts.

“ Just leave.. I don't know why I try talking to you”said Hobie,looking away from her.

Midnight stormed out, teary-eyed, and Elijah cautiously approached his uncle.

“I guess you heard that,” Hobie said with a weak smile.

“Kind of hard not to,” Elijah admitted.

Hobie sighed,then signals for him to sit down next to him which Elijah does.

“ So before you were born, I was living here and attending UA. Midnight and I were...together for a long time, some things happened and we ended up splittin’. It was really messy and in the custody battle she won and I rarely get to see her cousins”said Hobie.

“ How come we’ve never met them?”he asks.

“ I want you all to meet Ava and Hakeem but Nerm-Midnight always made it a big deal.They haven't even met their lil sis yet because she has a problem with your auntie” said Hobie.

“She hates Auntie Shino?” he asks.

“I wouldn't say.. it's complicated but anyway, you did good today and I was surprised to see you got out so quickly”said Hobie.

“She took me by surprise!” he replies back which makes his uncle laugh.

“ Sure she did. His guitar, I'm going to go try that see them while I can”said Hobie.

“They're here?” he asks.

“ Hakeem attends U.A.”said Hobie as he walked out of the door.

Later on, Elijah was at karaoke with Izuku,Bowsette,and Toru. Bowsette just finished a song until she noticed a serious look on Elijah’s face.

“My singing wasn't that bad was it?”she asks.

“ No it's.. I was just thinking about something”said Elijah.

“You know you can tell us right?”she asks.

“(I can't let what happened earlier get to me) All right I'll be honest.. You and Izuku killing simple and clean almost brought me to tears, I'm so proud”said Elijah.

“ S-Shut up”said Bowsette who playfully hits him in the arm.

“ Same, who knew they're both good singers”said Toru.

“We weren't as bad as Jackie though”said Bowsette.

Flashback…
Elijah was covering his ears, Izuku was crying in the corner, and Bowsette had a blank expression on her face as Jackie was singing”Good Time”by Owl City& Carly Rae Jepson.

“Whoa oh, it's always a good time. Thank you” said Jackie.

“ It's finally over” said an exhausted Elijah.

“ Finally” said Bowsette,teafully.

“ Hooray”said Izuku,tearfully as well.

“ Why you guys must have really enjoyed it if you want I can-”

“ NO!!!” they all said in unison which made her confused.

“It's just that I uh.. have to go home help Mum out, she's due any day now” said Elijah,nervously.

“ I-It's almost my curfew and you know how my mom is” said Izuku,nervously.
“And you know how my Mom and Dad are” said Bowsette, also nervously.

“Alright then, guess I'll see you guys tomorrow” said Jackie as she cheerfully left the room.

“ Never again, we all agree?” Elijah asks.

“ Agreed” they both said in unison.

Back to the present…

They're all explaining this as they dropped Toru off at the train station.

“ Was she really that bad?”she asks.

“Yes” said Elijah,deadpan.
“Umhm” Izuku adds,nervously.
“ Yep, yep, yep” said Bowsette.

“ Glad you guys took a chance with me, see you at school”said Toru as she kissed Elijah then walked towards the gate.

After that, the three then walked all together until they were in front of Bowsette’s home,Elijah and Izuku noticed that she stopped walking and immediately looked at them with panic.

“You guys have got to run right now”said Bowsette which made them raise an eyebrow until they heard the door open and immediately rushed into a hug by a tall buxom woman with long waist length blonde haired as several bangs coming down on her face,wearing a purple sweater and white capri pants.

“Izuku and Elijah it's so good to see the both of you” the woman said cheerfully smothering them into her chest making them both blush.

“ Mom! You're killing them!”Bowsette shouts.

She then turns around and tearfully smothers her.

“Congratulations on getting first place princess”said the woman.

“(I can see why she warned us)” they both thought in unison but then noticed Bowser coming out of the mansion doors.

“ There's our winner of the sports festival.Sorry boys, Shizuka was waiting for her to come home”said Bowser.

“ N-No problem all Mr.Koopa” said a nervous Izuku.

“ Hu-I mean it's our fault for keeping her out too long”said Elijah.

“Geez, Mom…let..go.I need to say goodbye to them”Bowsette protested.

“Dear”said Bowser which made her stop letting Bowsette breathe.

“ Fine, we'll finish this later” she said as she and Bowser walk into the mansion.

“ So your mom’s bo-I mean she's still the same”said Elijah who noticed the scowl on her face.

“Uh,huh. Anyway, I gotta deal with that so I'll see you guys tomorrow”said Bowsette.

“Hang in there”said Izuku.

“ Good luck and again congratulations”said Elijah.

She then hugged the both of them and kissed them on the cheek then ran into the mansion.

“That was unexpected”said Elijah as he began to walk away from that mansion.

“Today is this the second time for everything, second time she's kissed us and second time she's used that form”said Izuku while they were walking.

“ What are you talking about?”Elijah asks.

“ Don't you remember? Her 11th birthday party, she kissed me on the cheek and then when she was about to kiss you you turned and accidentally.. oh crap”said Izuku, wide eyed.

“Wait,Are you telling me that-”

“Oh look there's my apartment well I-”

“Izuku, you might as well tell me everything”said Elijah.

“Okay but you didn't hear it from me” said Izuku.

“ I will blame Jackie if need be”said Elijah.

“ You accidentally kissed her on the lips and I don't really know what you said but it kind of made her mad to the point where she transformed into that and punched you through a tree.When we saw your next day and she apologized you didn't seem to know what she was talking about”said Izuku.

“(So that's why she apologized) I see”said Elijah.

“You're not mad, we kept it a secret from you”said Izuku.

“ We all have our secrets from each other, I'll see you Monday”said Elijah as he walked in the direction of his house.

Later that night...

“ (What exactly did I say to her? Doesn't matter, between that, the tail grab, that morning and add being a jerk about your music. I do owe her)” Elijah thought to himself.

He then looks at his phone for a couple of minutes then grabs it and calls Bowsette who picks up after the second ring.

“ Hey what's up?” she asks.

“ Are you doing anything tomorrow?” he asks.

“ No, why?”she asks.

“ You want to hang out tomorrow?”he asks.

“ Didn't we just go to karaoke, you me and Deku-”

“ Actually it would just be you and me” said Elijah.

He then heard something break but he's not sure what.

“ J-just the Two of Us?” she asks.

“ Yeah, we can do whatever you want unless you have-"

“ No, I mean yeah sure whatever”said Bowsette.

“ I'll pick you up at 11” said Elijah.

“Okay see you tomorrow”said Bowsette as she hung up.

At her mansion…

Actually hung up the phone, she immediately started to hug her pillow but then stop suddenly.

“ I have to remember it's not a date because he’s with Toru, but still he suddenly..argh I can ask him tomorrow I can't think about what to wear” said Bowsette.

End of chapter.

Chapter 19: Not a Date

Chapter Text

Elijah was standing outside the Koopa residence, he let out a yawn then when he heard the door open.Bowsette came out wearing a black and gray checkered shirt, gray denim shorts, and black sneakers.

“S-so where are we headed?” she asks, nervously messing with her hair.

“ How about the park? I know they got some new rides and stuff”said Elijah.

“ Okay” she answered with a toothy grin.

The first ride that they went on was a roller coaster,Bowsette didn't have an issue on the ride however Elijah had to sit down for a minute.

“ So web slinging is perfectly fine but roller coaster rides-”

“ You.. spin around… in your shell!” he said, trying to catch his breath.

The second ride that they went to was a haunted House attraction, Elijah was trying his best not to laugh at how fake it was while Bowsette held tightly to his arm.

“ You know if Izu…you're scared of ghosts?”he asks.

“Remember my cousin?” she asks, quivering behind him.

“Boosette, right? What about her?”he asks.

“ When we were younger she always had this thing where she pulled pranks on people, mainly me!” she explains.

“Yeah if you can give me her number-”

“Don't you even think about it”said Bowsette.

Minutes later outside of the attraction..
“We're finally out” she said cheerfully, sitting on a bench.

“ You were really scared, huh? So you were scared during the villains-”

“ Of course I was. I was stuck with Bakugo and I was really worried about yo- everyone in classl”said Bowsette.

“ I see. Also that transformation you did during the battle with Bakugo is really cool”said Elijah.

“Hm?”She responds.

“ Jackie was talking about it and also mentioned it was the second time that she had seen it” he said, which caught her attention.

“R-really?”Bowsette asks, nervously.

“Listen bow, I'm sorry for what happened all those years ago and for giving you the silent treatment, and what happened that morning, and-”

“What exactly did Jackie tell you about that day?”she asks.

“Well that you're kissing Izuku cheek and when you were trying to do the same with me I accidentally turned the wrong way and stole what I'm assuming was your first kiss” said Elijah.

“ Is that all?” she asks.

“ Yeah, was there something else?” he asks.

“Uhh..nope,you didn't say anything else”said Bowsette,nervouslychuckleswhile waving her arms.

“Are you sure-”

“ Hey let's get on some more rides”said Bowsette, playing with his arm to get off the bench.

“Okay Okay” he said begrudgingly.
“(I'm going to kill Jackie, I told her to never tell him that.. my heart was literally pounding out of my chest)” she thought to herself.

Sunset on a train…

“Well, I enjoyed today” said Bowsette while stretching.

“ So what was that transformation?” he asks.

“ Oh that? That's Warrior god mode. It's something I got from my grandma” she answered.

“ If I remember correctly she was the abnormal hero,right?”he asks.

“Yep, that's grandma Medaka.Mama ended up getting the same quirk and it turns out I got the same ability but with dad's as well” said Bowsette.

“Well I never stood a chance did I?” Elijah chuckles.

“I just don't use it that much because I don't want to rely on it too much, Bakugo was difficult and you..well..uh-

“Yeah I apologize for that.Good thing the cameras couldn't catch what we were saying because your shriek was really cute” he said not nursing her face during completely red.

As they got off the train, they walked until they reached your house, Elijah then watched Bowsette walk up the steps until she walked back and kissed him on the cheek.

“That was a gift between friends and also… thanks for today dumbass” she said quickly walking up the stairs and closing the door to our house.

“Does she..pfft, nah.As if Bowsette has a crush on me” said Elijah as he made his way home.

Minutes later with Bowsette..

“ I tell you it wasn't me” said Jackie over the phone.
“ He specifically brought up your name”said Bowsette.

“ I'm being framed. The only thing I've done behind your back is let him cop a fe-”

“ You did what?!” Bowsette shouts.

“ In short I lost a bet and I let him grab one of my boobs and also my ass and he kind of pin- that's beside the point. I didn't tell him about how you accidentally kissed him even if he did remember what's the issue with it?” she asked.

“ Because of what he said after the kiss and then I punched him out of embarrassment”said Bowsette.

“All because he sa-”

“ Don't say it,it's embarrassing. And if you didn't bring it up then who..Deku” she said aggressively.

“ Let's face it, he probably did tell him” said Jackie.

“ I'm going to have a word for him tomorrow”said Bowsette.

With Izuku..

Izuku was doing some homework when all the sudden, he felt a chill running down his spine.

“ (Why do I have a feeling something bad's about to happen tomorrow?)” Izuku thought.

End of chapter.

Chapter 20: Hero Killer Arc:Hero Names

Notes:

Sorry for the long wait,I was out of Twon plus had finals. Look forward to stain among other characters

Chapter Text

Elijah was just walking with Toru to school holding an umbrella over the both of them, noticing Izuku talking about Bowsette. The two wanted to say hi but then noticed the angry scowl on her face and the tearful one on Midoriya.

“ So, are we-”

“ I feel like we shouldn't interfere” said Elijah.

Minutes later in class..

“ It's so weird that people recognize us from TV.Everyone wanted to talk to me on the way here” said Ashido.

“ Yeah, me too!”said Karshima.

“People on the streets were staring at me and Elijah! It was kind of embarrassing”said Toru.

“Sure but isn't that.. wait, you and Hendrix-kun were walking together?”Ojiro asks, catching everyone's attention.

“ Well…I sort of ran into him and he walked me all the way”Toru answers, nervously.

“ Oh”said Ojiro in relief.

“Morning” said Aizawa as he entered the room.

“ Wonder what's in store for us today” said Elijah but then noticed the cheerful look on Bowsette’s face.

“Good morning Mr.Aizawa” said the entire class except for Elijah.

“Ribbit. Mr.Aizawa, you don't have bandages anymore.That's good news”said Tsyui.

“The old lady went a little bit overboard in her treatment. Anyway, we have a big class today on hero informatics” he said which made the class worry.
“(Uh-oh!)” they all thought to themselves.

“(Bollocks, right after a huge event it's a-)”

“You need code names, time to pick your hero identities”said Aizawa.

“ This is going to be totally awesome!” the class exclaims, cheerfully, which in response Aizawa growled and quickly silenced them.

“This is related to heat Pro Hero draft picks that I mentioned the last time you were in class together. Normally, students don't have to worry about the draft yet. Not until their second or third year actually but your class is different. In fact, by extending offers to the first years like you, Pros are essentially investing in your potential. Any offers can be rescinded if they're interested in you dies down before graduation, though”said Aizawa.

“So you're saying, we'll have to prove ourselves after we've gotten recruited”said Toru.

“Correct. now, here are the totals for those who got offers” he said pressing a button.

Todoroki had 4123,Bowsette had 4022, bakugo and Elijah tied at 3555, with everyone else being beneath them.

“ In past years, it's been more spread out but there is a pretty big gap this time” said Aizawa.

“ Gah,That's not fair”said a deflated Kaminari.

“Todoroki got the most, ahead of Bowsette?” Jiro asks.

“How the bloody hell did I tie up with him?” Elijah asks.

“ Probably because of the concert. Also who wants the guy who had to be chained up at the end-”

“ If I scared a pro, they're just weak!” Bakugo shouts.

“ Suure, that's why”said Elijah, which didn't go unnoticed by him.

“Got something to say?”Bakugo asks.

“ On why some of those Pros don't want to work with you, I have a bunch of reasons”said Elijah.

“ Those eyes of yours give you precognition?” Bakugo asks.

“ No. But I can clearly see bullshit, like every time you talk” said Elijah.

“You know what? Screw you”said Bakugo.

“ Why do you antagonize him like that?” Jiro whispers.

“ At this point it's a game. If he gives in, I win and he knows that” he whispers back.

You've already got to experience combat with real villains during the attack on the USJ facility, but it'll still be helpful to see pros at work. Up close and personal, in the field. first hand”said Aizawa.

“(Got to think wisely)” Elijah thought to himself.

“ These hero names will likely be temporary but take them seriously or..-”

Just then, the door opens to reveal midnight walking through wearing her mask above her eyes.

“ You'll have hell to pay later. What you pick today could be your code name for life. You better be careful, or you'll be stuck with something utterly indecent” said Midnight as the boys gawked at her except for Elijah which didn’t go unnoticed by Izuku and Bowsette.

“Yeah she's got a good point.Midnight is going to have final approval over your names, it's not my forte.The name you give yourself is important, it helps her reinforce your image and shows what kind of hero you want to be in the future. a code name tells people exactly what you represent.Take” All Might” for example” he said grabbing his sleeping bag.

They were then given sheats to right out their names.

“(What I represent, huh? I got it but is she going to hate me because the stuff with unc?) he thought to himself.
Minutes later..

“Now students, who among you is ready to share?” she asks.

“I'll go first”said Elijah, shocking the whole class.

He walks up to the table and shows the board with it saying”The Rebel hero, Spider Punk” leaving the class speechless.

“He said to think about what I represent”said Elijah.

“I like it. It definitely fits” said Midnight.

“That's definitely him”said Bowsette.

“Eli-kun, so cool” said Izuku in awe.

“Glad you didn't hate it”Elijah sighs but then notices Midnight staring at him curiously.

“Next up” said Midnight.

After a few more students revealed their names, Bowsette went next.

“Koopa-Hime”she exclaims,proudly.

“I get it.using your nickname-”

“ I was originally going to go with “Reaper princess” but that name wouldn't go so well” she said, bashfully.

“ Where did she get a name like that?” Elijah asks.

After a couple of other people,Uraraka her name to be “ Unravity” and gave the explanation.Izuku went up and showed his name which made the class gasp.

“ Really, Midoriya?” Mineta asks.

“ You sure about that?”Kaminari asks.

“ Yeah, man, remember, that could be your name forever” said Karshima.

“Right. I used to hate it. But then, something changed. I guess.. someone taught me that it could have a different meaning and that had a huge impact on how I felt. So, now I really like it. Deco, that has to be my codename” he said, happily.

“ I like it”said Elijah.

“ Same here”said Bowsette.

Minutes later..

“Now that everyone shows their hero names, we can go back to talking about your upcoming internships-”

“ Question, are we getting paid for this or-”

“No stop asking. They all last for one week. As for who you'll be working with: those of you who are on the board will choose from among your offers, everyone else will have a different list. You'll have a lot to think about, there are around 40 agencies across the country who agreed to take on interns from your class. Each agency has a different specialty that it's hero focus on. Keep that in mind, turn in your choices before the weekend”said Aizawa.

“Do you mind if I speak to Hendrix for a minute?” Midnight asks, surprising everyone.

“Go ahead”said Aizawa.

Elijah gulps and follows her outside of the classroom, she ends up taking him all the way to the roof of the school.

“ So-”

“I swear I didn't mean to eavesdrop you and uncle Hobbie’s argument, I was just going to get my guitar and I overheard everything and-”

“ I was going to ask if his agency made an offer”said a stunned Midnight.

“Oh,uh..I haven't had a chance to look”said Elijah.

“Listen kid, I'm not going to take my issues with him out on you”said Midnight.

“Then how come we've never met our cousins?”Elijah asks.

“ That's..complicated but you are right, I shouldn't keep those two isolated from the rest of your family.If you want to meet your cousin,he interns at this agency” she said handing him a note.

“Oh, thank you”said Elijah.

He goes downstairs where he sees Uraraka, Izuku, Toru, and Bowsette waiting for him.

First day of internships…

Elijah ends up walking a far distance until he makes it to the clear white building, he walks inside where he's greeted by a woman with long blonde hair with a hat on top of her head, an orange dress with leggings and orange boots.

“(The Huntress hero,Milia Rage..I was lucky she made me an offer.But why would.. doesn't matter) Ello,I’m-”

“Elijah Hendrix, yes I know exactly who you are. Before we begin anything, I would like an assessment of your skills. Go ahead and change into your costume”said Milia.

“(Guess we all gotta start somewhere) Sure thing, ma'am”said Elijah.

End of chapter.

Chapter 21: Hero Killer Arc:Hakeem and Elphet

Notes:

a short chapter but next one will be long

Chapter Text

Elijah had changed into his costume and entered a spacious room with a mat with Millia waiting patiently.

“Ready when you are” said Milia.

Elijah doesn't hesitate when he attempts to attack her, she dodges under him and uses her hair to wake him against the wall but he quickly recovers by sticking to it.

“(Gotta think,Deku told me about her one time.. I remember now, her quirk let her hair turn any weapon she imagines.I better use the Venom blast or web her up)”He thought to himself.

He then flips off of the wall and webs her arms up along her legs but she is able to quickly get out of it to a surprise.

“ Smart move. Making sure your opponents can't use their arms or legs” said Milia turning her hair from scissors back to his usual style.

Elijah rushes at her at full speed but then turns invisible. He then tries to walk behind her but feels the spider sense tingling and sees her hair right behind him in the shape of a boot.Elijah quickly moves out of the way, and makes himself visible.

“You have to hide your steps a little quieter”said Milia.

“(Bollocks.I really didn't want to use it but)” Elijah thought to himself.

Elijah then charges up his Venom blast and jumps at her but is taken off guard when she turns her back to him which sends him crashing face first into her backside. Milia walks ahead and slightly turns to him.

“I am so sorry-”

“ That's enough. I now have a fair assessment of your skills.However, you definitely have room to improve and it's my job to help with that.This week, you'll learn from my experience.As you know Pros receive wages from the government so are civil servants but as you know we're different from regular workers.Our basic duties to control crime.When a crime occurs, the police will contact us and these requests come in all at once, filtered by District.We file reports on the services we provided assisting with arrest, rescuing people, whatever they need.We are allowed to have side jobs of course kind of like your uncle”said Milia.

“Right” said Elijah.

“Oh I should mention that there is another-”

She is interrupted when a young girl with white short white hair in a bob style wearing a white sleeveless dress with a pink ruffled underskirt, black shorts, a pink leather jacket, and thigh-high pink boots with silver spikes came running into the room along with a young African male with long dreadlocks, glasses, wearing a U.A. uniform.

“Sorry for showing up late, ma'am”said the girl.

“She got lost and showed her the way”said the young man.

“ That's perfectly fine. Elijah, this young man here is Hakeem Brown. He is your senior and the girl next to him is the second offer-”

“ Ooh ooh let me introduce myself. Ahem, I'm Elphelt Valentine, I'm full of Rock, death, metal, and love! Hero name is the love hero, Romantica!” she said, striking up a pose as everyone stood there stunned.

“That's.. a.. wait your last name is Valentine? You wouldn't be related to Jackie V-” he began to say but was cut off when she came up close to his face.

“ You know my sister?! Jackie never talked about any of her friends except for the three she never brings around, wait are you one of them?”She asks.

“ Did she mention a British one?” he asks.

“ No way! That makes you Elijah”said Elphelt.

“ Elphelt! Personal space!” Hakeem shouts.
“ Oh my bad but we definitely have to talk after today. I have so many questions”said Elphelt.

“ Since you showed up late, I'll give you the same exact treatment he got. Hakeem, why don't you and Hendrix wait in the break room”Milia suggest.

He shrugs and walks over along with Elijah to the break room until he stops.

“ So you're my cousin, huh?” Elijah asks.

“ What? Wait.. you're my cousin?”Hakeem asks.

“( Dammit!!)” Elijah thought to himself.

“ Now that I think about it.. Dad did mention that before and that he was on stage with…oh, well this is an interesting way of meeting”said Hakeem,nervously.

Few minutes later..

“Okay, I'm starting to understand the situation. To think, I have a bunch of cousins I haven't.. then again neither is Ava”said Hakeem.

“I don't want you to think-”

“ Well it's nice to officially meet you, Elijah” said Hakeem with his hand out.

“ Likewise” he responds by extending his hand.

After being out in the field with Milia, Elijah then sat in a restaurant with Elphelt.

“It's crazy how I never saw you over a house before”said Elphet.

“ Jackie never really invites us over to her house. She's usually hanging at one of ours”said Elijah.

“ And you work on music? What a coincidence, I work in my own music too but don't worry I’m a better singer than Jackie”said Elphet.

“What? I wouldn't say that she...a bloody hell, yeah she's bad”Elijah admits which make her laugh.

“But I actually have a good singer. I know, after we're done with our internships for the day, I can come over to my house and we play something together” she suggest.

“ Is Jackie going to be-”

“ It should be fine or if it'd be better, I can come over to your place”said Elphet.

“Don't know how my g.. okay how about this, we can come here early and practice. I'm sure we ask Milia she would allow it” said Elijah.

“ Great idea!”said Elphet.

“I look forward to working with you,Elphet”said Elijah.

“Same here, Hendrick-kun”said Elphet.

“You can just call me Elijah or Eli”said Elijah.

“Got it,Eli-kun.So, got any embarrassing stories to tell?” she asked with a mischievous smile.

“ Depends.. got any stories about her at home?” he asked what the same look.

“ I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship”said Elphet.

“ I believe you're right”said Elijah.

End of chapter.

Chapter 22: Hero Killer Arc:Worthy

Notes:

Here we are, my favorite arc in the series until later. I made this super long,enjoy

Chapter Text

It was day two of the internship. Elijah was doing some drills along with Elphet as Milia and Hakeem watched on. They go on patrol afterwards but it seems quiet until a man is attacked by a Nomu.

“What the heck is that thing?”Elphet asks, disgusted.

“(It's the same thing that attacked us at the U.S.J.)Elijah thought.

His thoughts are interrupted when he sees more than about to attack a civilian but he quickly webs the two of them together and pulls them away.As he sees them get away his Spider Sense tingles and is then grabbed out of nowhere. He is then flown into the sky where he sees another Nomu.

“(A flying one now?!)Thanks for the ride but this is where I get off” said Elijah as puts a hand on the Nomu's feet and hits him with a venom blast.

It cried out in pain and let go of him.They're pretty high up so Elijah thought fast and immediately made a web parachute landing on top of a roof.

“Well that was close but where exactly did that thing take me?”Elijah Wonder until his phone vibrated.

Then sees it's a text message from Midoriya where it's a map location.Not thinking twice about it, Elijah immediately swings the web over to that location.

“Izuku, you better not do anything reckless without me”said Elijah.

He makes it there just in time to see Iida who's about to get stabbed by a man with a red scarf and immediately swings a web fully can away. Just as that happen, fire was shot at the man with the red scarf but he backs away just in time.

“Two more to get in my way.Today's been full of distractions”said the man.

“ Deku, I came as soon as I got your message”said Elijah.

“Eli-kun” he said excitedly.

“ Midoriya, you need to give more details in times like this. I was almost too late to stop this guy”

Elijah look to see that it was Todoroki with his phone out.

“ Hendrix and Todoroki? “said Iida.

“How did you..and using your left side?” Izuku asks.

“ How'd I get here? Good question. Your message took me a while to figure out, next time try to send more than just your specific location” said Todoroki.

“ Oh I just figured he was in trouble and immediately came here”said Elijah.

“Then again he's not one to send cryptic messages without a reason” said Todoroki, reading himself for a fight.

“Deku, can you stand?”Elijah asks while helping him up.

“ I can't move for some reason”said Izuku.

Todoroki then makes ice pillars for all of them while he rushes Stain.

“Everything will be okay, the pro Heroes will be here any minute!” Todoroki shouts as they slide down the pillar and end up behind him.

“ You're just what they said you were, but you won't be taking any more lives, hero killer” said Todoroki with a flame in hand.

“(Got to admit, he's cool)” Elijah thought as he stood up.

“E-”

“ So all we got to do is buy time, this might be difficult for one person”said Elijah while cracking his knuckles.
“ Guys! You can't let that guy get your blood. I- I think he controls his enemies actions by swallowing it.That's how we got us” said Izuku.

“ That's gross” Elijah comments.

“ He ingest blood to keep people from moving. That explains the blades, all we got to do is keep our distance” said Todoroki.

But as he wasn't looking, a knife was thrown at him but Elijah quickly moves him out of the way but takes the cut.

“ Ya have good friends, Ingenium or you did” said Stain as he attempts to slash at but ends up punching an ice pillar.

Elijah then notices Todoroki looking up to see that he threw his sword in the air but while he was distracted, Stain tries to lick his wound. Todoroki sees this and activates this flames which makes stain take a couple of steps back.

“He's strong” said Todoroki.

“ And quick” Elijah comments.

Stain grab the sword in midair and slashes at the pillar only for turtle Ricky to make the ice grow closer which makes them take more steps back.

“Just stop it..Why are you doing this? His fight is with me! I inherited my brother's name..I should be the one to stop him…The Hero Killer Is Mine!”Iida shouts.

“You're Ingenium now? Strange” said Todoroki as he created a bunch of ice pillars.

All in the air, Elijah tries to web his feet together only for the hero killer day cut it and grab the line pulling him in but Elijah quickly jumps over him and lands on the wall, sticking to it.

“ The Ingenium I knew before never had that look on his face. You've got a dark side, guess my family isn't the only one”said Todoroki.

“Careful guys!” said Izuku.
Just as Elijah was about to punch him he feels two knives I his left leg which made him lose his balance and falls to the ground. He then looks to see Todoroki with two knives in his right arm. The hero killer was about to kill the unconscious hero but his punched by Izuku who then grabs him.

“How is he-”

“ I'm not sure why, but I'm able to move now!”Izuku shouts.

“ So he's got a time limit” said Todoroki.

“ No…That kid shoulda been the last one to be freed.I still can't move a muscle” said the hero.

Just as they land on the ground Elijah is told to dodge as Todoroki uses his ice quirk but once again Stain dodges.

“(It's got to be some kind of trick to his quirk but what?) Elijah thought to himself.

“ He swallows a person's blood to freeze them but I was the one freed first. I've got three different guesses why. His quirk could be less effective the more people he uses it on, the amounts ingested could play into how long it works, or it could be based on a person's blood type”said Izuku.

“If it's the last one, my blood type is B” said the hero.

“ I'm Type A”said Iida.

“ So you figured it out. Bravo, very impressive” he said with a sinister grin.

“ It doesn't really help us that much to know how his quirk works though”said Izuku.

“I thought we could hurry and carry those two out of here, but it's no good. He's too fast, he could avoid my ice and fire. I'd have to leave myself unguarded” said Todoroki.

“Our best choice is to hold down the fort until the pros get here and do our best to avoid getting cut by him or licked”said Elijah.

“ No, you both have lost a lot of blood. I'll distract him while Todoroki supports me from behind and you web me away if I get too close” said Izuku as he charged up.

“Sounds good to me, what about you?” Elijah asks.

“ It's a pretty big risk but alright. We can protect them”said Todoroki.

“ Three against one, huh? This fight won't be easy”said Stain.

Izuku then started to run around him as Todoroki froze the ground then used his flames. Things were going well until Stain got to cut on Izuku's leg.Just as he was about to attack, Elijah spun a web and brought him over them as Todoroki once again fired his flames.

“I can't watch this” said Iida.

“ You want to make your brother proud?! Then stand up and be Ingenium!” Todoroki shouts.

As he was talking, Stain had licked Izuku’s blood causing him to standstill. Elijah then stepped in and attempted to fight the hero killer.

“(Spider Sense can only go so far when he's this fast…damn wanker)” Elijah thought to himself.

“Watch you're right!”Izuku yells.

Stain cuts Elijah across the mask, barely missing his face and goes straight to Todoroki but is able to push him back, firing a fireball at him.

“Ice and Fire. Hasn't anyone ever told you you rely on your Quirk too much? Makes you a careless fighter”said Stain as he is about to slash Todoroki.

“ Todoroki!!” Izuku and Elijah shout.

“ Recipro burst!”Iida yells kicking the sword and breaking it in half then goes in for another kick sending the hero killer back.
“ Took him long enough”said Elijah.

“ You're free, too? Guess his quirk isn't as great as I thought it was-”

“ Todoroki…Midoriya..Hendrix..This has nothing to do with you, I apologize”said Iida.

“ Come on. Not this again”said Izuku.

“ He's more stubborn than Bowsie“said Elijah.

“Okay and I won't let the three of you shed any more blood for me!”Iida shouts.

“It's no use trying to pretend you're a hero now. A person's true nature doesn't change in just a few minutes, you'll never be anything but a fraud who prioritizes his own desires. You're the sickness that’s infected Society and ruin the name “hero”.Someone must teach you a lesson”said Stain, intensely.

“ Mad as a Hatter”said Elijah,nervously.

“ Yeah Fundamentalist lunatic.Iida, don't listen to this murderer’s nonsense” said Todoroki.

“ No. He's completely correct. I have no right to call myself a hero…at all. Even so…There's no way I can back down. If I give up now, then the name “Ingenium” will die!” he shouts.

“ Pathetic”said Stain.

“ Idiots! The hero killer is only after me and that kid in the white armor. Stop fighting ba-”
“I don't think he'd let me run even if I wanted to.Something clearly changed to him just now.He seems rattled” said Todoroki struggling to hold up his flames.

Stain then jumps on debris, Elijah shoots a web to his legs but he quickly cuts it all. Todoroki uses his Flames again but he jumps to a wall avoiding it.

“ Todoroki, can you regulate your temperatures?”Iida asks.

“ Not on my left side but yes, I can” he answers.

“ You got to freeze my leg for me without plugging the exhaust!”Iida shouts.

“ You're in the way!”Stain shouts as he throws a knife meant for Todoroki but Iida takes the hit to the arm.

“ No, Iida”Izuku shouts.

Elijah then noticed that Izuku was moving and had an idea and swung over to him.

“Deku, I have an idea. Can you move your leg?”he asks.

“ It's no good but it's okay. what do you have in mind?”he asks.

Elijah then whispers the plan to Izuku who smiles.

Izuku holds on to Elijah and runs up the wall as Iida runs at the wall as well. His leg hits a spike and winces in pain but continues to run anyway.He then lets go of Elijah who swings on the other side of the wall and runs as well. Iida kicks him in the ribs as Izuku punches him in the face and Elijah punches him on the other side of his face with a Venom punch.

“(It should be enough to knock him out) Elijah thought.

His Spider Sense then goes off just as Stain grabs his sword and was about to hit Iida but misses.

“ I will defeat you, Stain! Because you are a criminal”Iida shouts.

“ Don't let him get away!” Todoroki shouts, shooting flames at him.

Iida kicks him in the ribs again.

“ And I am a hero!”said Iida.

Before they hit the ground, Elijah then grabs Izuku and Iida and flips behind Todoroki.
“Stand up! Keep fighti..” he begins to say but then notices Stain wasn't moving from the ice pillar he made.

“He's got to be knocked out after all of that…right?”Izuku asks.

“ Then, let's restrain him and get them to the streets”said Todoroki.

“ I'm on it”said Elijah.

“ We should probably take away all his weapons, too”Izuku adds.

“ Good idea”said Todoroki.

He then puts them into a web cocoon and picks him up as Native picks up Izuku.

“ Native can you move?”Izuku asks.

“ Yeah. I think I'm good as new now” he answers.

“ You sure?”Izuku asks.

“ I saw you hurt your leg back there, at least let me do this for you” said Native.

“ Thank you so much”Izuku sighs.

“ Hendrix, I can drag him from here”said Iida.

“ You don't think I noticed that your arms are messed up, mate? My arms are still good”said Elijah.

“I have to apologize. I'm supposed to be a pro but I was useless back there”said Native.

“ No, I don't think any one person could take the hero killer on.Not with that weird quirk of his, he was too strong”said Izuku.

“ The four of us barely won against him and even then, it was because his own mistakes” said Todoroki.
“ The man got riled up and desperate and forgot all about Deku’s recovery time, yeah?Add to the fact that he couldn't dodge Iida’s last Reciproburst, my venom punch, and Izuku’s assault.Pretty sure that last attack of his was on instinct ” said Elijah.

“ You're smarter than you look, Hendrix”said Todoroki.

“Oy! You pickin’ a fight?”Elijah asks.

“ I don't think he meant it as an insult”said Izuku.

“ Let's get to the police as fast as we can-”

“ What are you doing here, boy?”

They all look to see an old man with a black mask wearing a yellow and white superhero attire.

“ Gran Torino! I was onl-” izuku didn't get a chance to finish as he was kicked in the face.

“ I thought I told you to stay on the bullet train!” the old man yells.

“Oy! Old Timer, it got a problem with him, you have a problem with me”said Elijah.

“ Who is this?” Todoroki asks.

“ Gran torino, the hero I'm interning with.I don't get it, how did you find us?”Izuku asks, exhaustedly.

“ I was told to come here by someone else. I have no idea what's going on but I'm glad you're not dead, at least” said Gran Torino.

“ Me too. And, I'm sorry”said Izuku.

“ Tch”said Gran Torino.

They didn't hear a bunch of other Heroes coming to their aid but I'm surprised to see children with injuries.
“ Hey look” said one of the heroes.

“ Is that…The hero killer?” Another Hero asks.

“ What?” Gran Torino gasps.

“ I'll get the police on the line” said one of the heroes.

“ Can you walk?” one of the heroes asks.

“ Only if you prop me up” said Izuku.

“ And what about the rest of you?”he asks.

“ Only minor injuries” said Todoroki.

“ A few Cuts here and there but ace”said Elijah.

“Ace?”he questions.

Iida then walks up to all three of them.

“ You guys…You are all hurt because of me, I'm truly sorry. I was just so angry, I couldn't see anything else” he said bowing and crying.

“ I'm sorry, too,Iida. You're going through so much by yourself but I couldn't tell anything was wrong, even though I'm your friend”said Izuku.

“Hey, pull yourself together. You're the class rep”said Todoroki.

“We've all been there mate, so cheer up”said Elijah.

“Right”said Iida, sniffling.

Just as everything seemed fine, Elijah Spider Sense goes off and they see a flying nomu appear.

“( Him again?)” Elijah thought.

“ Get down!” Gran Torino shouts.

It quickly grabs izuku and attempts to fly off but then the hero killer Stain licks the blood of the nomu off one of the heroes and it stops crashing to the ground.

“ The word” hero” has lost all meeting in the society. The world is overrun by fakes and criminals like you who chases pretty dreams” he explains as he stabs the Nomu.

“You must all be purged..Everything that I do.. is to create a stronger society” he said as he took the knife out.

Everyone was completely frozen in fear.

“Everyone be on your guard, we've got a fight on our hands” said the female hero.

“Why are you all standing around like fools?The villain must have flown this way, right?”

They all turn to see the number two hero Endeavor who looked around and saw what was happening.

“Hold on.Don't tell me that man is-”

“Endeavor”Stain said as a piece of his mask came off.

“Hero killer-” he said as he ready to flames.

“Don't, Todoroki!”Gran Torino yells.

“You false Hero.I'll make this right.These streets must run with the blood of the hypocrites” he says walking slowly which sends shivers down everyone's spine.

“Hero! I will reclaim that word! Come on! Just try and stop me, you fakes! There is only one man I'll let kill me! He is a true hero, ALL MIGHT IS WORTHY!!”Stain yells.

Some Heroes fell to their knees as everyone was engulfed by this murderous aura, unable to move a single step until they all see his knife fall to the ground and see that he passed out.

Chapter 23: Hero Killer Arc:Aftermath(part 1)

Notes:

also introducing a female villain in this chapter,but it's a small bit of her

Chapter Text

All the boys ended up going to the hospital to be treated.

“Did you sleep, Midoriya?”Todoroki asks.

“No, not really” he answers.

“How could anyone sleep after what happened?” Elijah asks.

“Thinking about that fight now, we did something pretty amazing”said Izuku.

“Yeah, I agree”said Todoroki.

“After everything that happened back there, it kind of feels like a miracle or we're even alive.With my leg messed up, I was an easy target.He probably could have-” Izuku began to say but was flicked in the head by Elijah.

“ He left the three of us live for some reason and we shouldn't dig too deep into that”said Elijah.

“Did you have to flick me in the head?” he asks.

“ Well,Bowsie's not here so somebody had to do it”Elijah smirks.

The doors then open to reveal Pro hero, manual and Gran Torino.

“ Oh, so the injured youngins are awake” said Gran Torino.

“ Gran torino!” Izuku said, cheerfully.

“ Idiot. I could yell at you for hours right now” he says, walking up to him.

“Yeah, I'm sorry-”

“But before I do, you've got a visitor” said Gran Torino.
They see a dog man wearing a suit walking to the room to the surprise of Izuku and Elijah.

“This is Hosu’s Chief of Police. Kenji Tsuragmae”said Gran Torino.

They all then stand up except for Izuku.

“ No, please, stay seated, woof” said the chief.

“(Did he just say “woof”?)” Elijah thought.

“ So, you're the U.A students who brought down the hero killer, huh?”The chief asks.

“ We are” Todoroki answers.

“ Stain has some serious injuries, severe burns and several broken bones. Right now he's in the hospital under strict guard, woof.Here's a lesson you should have already learned.When quirks become the norm, the police force saw to maintain the status quo.They decided we wouldn't use quirks as weapons.When Heroes step in, they could do what we couldn't if they were licensed, of course,woof” said the chief.

“ I see..wait”said Elijah.

“It would be impossible for the police to condone the use of deadly quirks. After all, we're here to stop such harm from being done. The only reason prose can use their powers now is because the strict code of ethics that the early Heroes chose to abide by. That's why it's against the law for uncertified people to use their quirks to cause injury. Whether you were up against the hero killer or not, none of you had the authority to harm the villain” he explained, making them gasp.

“(Bollocks)Elijah thought to himself.

“ That means the four of you and your supervisors. Endeavor, Manual,Milia rage, and Gran Torino should receive harsh punishments for this gross abuse of your powers” he said.

“ Now wait a minute. If Iida had not stepped in, Native would have been murdered and if not for Midoriya, both of them would be dead.No one else even realized that the hero killer was in Hosu.Are you saying we should have stood by and watch people die?” Todoroki asks.

“ Calm down-”

“ I happen to agree with Todoroki”said Elijah.

“ So it's okay to break the law as long as it goes your way?” the chief asks.

“ But sir, isn't it a hero's job to save people?” Todoroki asks.

“ This is why you're not a full-fledged Pro yet. It's obvious U.A. and Endeavor haven't been teaching you near enough” said the chief.

“ To be fair, it was our second day of our internship” said Elijah.

“ What a shame” said the chief.

“ You damn mutt”said Todoroki as he tries to walk over but Iida,Izuku, and Elijah try to stop him.

“ What I said is the official stance of the police department but any punishment would only be necessary if this went public. If it did, you would probably be applauded by civilians everywhere but there's no way you could Escape from being reprimanded. On the other hand, we could say Endeavor saved the day.Stain’s Burns would support this story completely and we could pretend you weren't involved, woof” said the chief.

“ In short, nobody gets in trouble if we keep our mouth shut about us being there or having anything to do with taking down the hero killer” said Elijah.

“Exactly, you will receive no acclaim at all. The choice is yours.Personally, I know where I stand.I don't want to damage any promising young careers, not for a mistake like this”said the chief raising his thumb.

“ Either way, will need to take responsibility for being negligent as supervisors” manual said, tearfully.

“ I'm sorry, I should have listened”said Iida as he bowed and even got chopped in the head.

“ Yeah! You caused us a lot of trouble. Remember that, and don't do it again” said Manual.

“ Sir!” said Iida.

“ And… I apologize as well” said Izuku, bowing as well.

“ Me too, we'll leave it to you” said Todoroki.

“ I apologize too” said Elijah, begrudgingly and crossing his arms.

“ I know it's not fair, you won't enjoy any of the fame or praise you probably would have received otherwise but at least, allow me as the chief of police, to thank you” he said bowing.

Elijah then saw out of the corner of his eye Milia who had a dark Aura around her which frightened Elijah.

“ Come with me” she said.

“ Yes, ma'am” he said with caution.

As he walks out of the room he sees everyone salutes him as if this is the final time they would see him. Elijah follows her all the way to the roof.She then turns around and to his surprise brings him into a hug.

“I'm glad that you're safe”said Milia.

“(Well I wasn't expecting to be buried into someone's chest.. but I'm not going to complain) I'm-”

“But prepare for a long lecture” she said as the dark Aura appeared around her again.

Meanwhile somewhere else…

The TV broadcast was covering the capture of the hero killer and that of the two nomus. why civilians were passing by, a reasonably tall pale young man with Slim shape with someone muscular build with spiky black hair could be seen.

“Interested in the news?”

He turns to see a young woman with medium height black hair with red highlights style than a shaggy bob with bangs cut above her eyes, magenta eyes, wearing a goth lolita dress that stops at her thighs, fishnets, and black Mary Jane shoes.

“You could say that, Koyomi”said said the man.

They both been walk away.

Back with Elijah…

After getting lectured for 2 hours, Elijah then got a call from Toru about her internship and how it was going.After that everything seem to be okay until he received a call from Bowsette and answered it.

“Hel-”

“Where’s Izuku?” she asks, aggressively which sends shivers down his spine until he sees Izuku.

Elijah then runs over to him which makes him a bit confused until he pointed at the phone he realized he was on it.

“O-oh, hey Bow-chan,Eli-kun and I are fine because Endeavor saved us” he said as Elijah wrote down what he should say.

“ And the location you sent?” she asks.

“ It was.. to warn you to stay out of that location”said Izuku getting a thumbs up from Elijah.

“ I'm a bit hurt that you-”

“ You're a good liar and I trust Izuku” she answers.
“ When have I ever-”
“ Don't even ask because I will bring out the list”said Bowsette.

“Speaking of liars, Did you know Jackie has a sister? I met her during the internship and she's the same age”said Elijah.

“WHAT?!!”Izuku and Bowsette asks in unison.

Some of the people in the hospital told him to keep it down which made him bow in embarrassment.

“ Oh and she had some stories to tell”said Elijah.

“Okay, I want to hear everything after my internship for today” she said.

“ Who are you learning from?” Elijah asks.

“Uhh..No one in-”

“ Come on kid, we're going on patrol”said a familiar man's voice.

“Wait, is that..You're at my Br-”

“ Oh wow..I gotta go, bye” she said immediately while hanging up the phone.

“Isn't your sister-in-law burnin?” Izuku asks.

“Yes”he answers.

“ Weird that we didn't run into her or-”

“She practically does whatever Endeavor says”said Elijah.

End Of Chapter.

Chapter 24: Hero Killer Arc: Afermath (part 2)Prep For The Final exams

Chapter Text

After getting out of the hospital, everyone from their internships went back to class. Elijah was headed up to class when he saw Bowsette paused in the doorway. He looked at her questionably until he saw what she was looking at, which was Bakugo with his hair combed. Bakugo noticed them staring at him which led to a pause until Elijah took out his phone along with Bowsette and took pictures.

“ What do you think you're doing?!” he shouts.

“ Oh I'm just sending these to Jackie”said Bowsette.

“ I salute whoever did this”said Elijah.

“I'll kill you both along with the other two!” he shouts, putting his hair back to normal.

“ It was fun while it lasted”Elijah sighs.

“How was your wee-” Elijah was about to ask until he noticed the intense look that Uraraka had.

“ What about you Eli-kun?”Jiro asks but notices the horrified look on his face.

“(Since you're out of the hospital, your training will be stricter)It was okay”said Elijah as he walked towards Izuku, Todoroki, and Iida.

“ And you are all Lucky Endeavor showed up and saved you guys”said another student.

“ So cool, just what I would expect from the number two Hero” said Toru.

“ Yeah, that's right. He saved us”said Todoroki.

“ Did you guys hear the news about the Hero Killer? Everyone's been saying that he was somehow connected to the league of villains. Can you imagine how frightening it would’ve been if that creep had been there when they attacked the USJ?”Ojiro asks.

“ He's scary, yeah but did you see him in that weird video? It's all over the internet”said Kaminari.

“I didn't even know there was a video of him”said Ojiro.

“ Yeah. Stain’s a pretty evil villain, but, like, super tenacious. He's almost kind of cool, don't you g-?” he begin to say but then flicked in the head by Elijah.

“ What was that fo-”

“ Oy, Ingenium, you knob”said Elijah.

“Uh-Oh! Dude!”said Kaminari.

“No, it's okay. You're fine. It is true that he's quite a tenacious villain. I understand why people might think he was cool but instead of helping the world,instead his beliefs led him to cold-blooded murder. No matter his motives, killing cannot be condoned.To keep anyone else from suffering like me, well, I promise I will strive to be the perfect hero”said Iida.

“ Yeah, let's do it”said Izuku.

“ It's time for class to begin!Everyone please take your seats!”said Iida.

“ He's back”said Tokoyomi.

“ This is your fault for talking about weird stuff”said Jiro.

“ You ruined it,Kaminari”said Elijah,deadpanned.

“Sorry, I'm gonna keep my mouth shut” he said, apologetically.

Later…

The class was standing outside with All Might.

“ Today is hero basic training, feels like I haven't seen you in a while, welcome back. Now then, listen carefully for what's in store. We're going to be conducting a little race. Take everything you've learned from your internships and apply it to the Rescue Training” said All Might.

“ If it's hero training, then shouldn't we be at the usj instead?”Iida asks.

“ Ah, that facility specializes in disasters. As I said earlier, this is a race. So prepare, your about to step into field gamma”said All Might.

All Might explain that they will being groups of five and that the goal is to rescue him. The first group had Izuku,Iida,Ashido,Ojiro,and Suro.

“Huh. I’d say Midoriya is that a heavy disadvantage against those four” said Yaoyoruzu, noticing Elijah sitting next to her.

“ That's what I think, moving around quickly isn't really one of his strong suits, that's for sure”said Jiro.

“ Oh, I wouldn't count ‘em out”said Elijah.

Everyone in class had their bets as the race started, to everyone's surprise except for Elijah,Izuku started moving incredibly fast jumping from one pipe to the next.

“(It kind of reminds me of Bakugo the way he moves)” Elijah thought to himself.

Izuku then tripped which cost him the race in which the winner ended up being Sero.

Group 2 had Elijah, Bakugo,Bowsette, Tsuyu,and Mineta.The race started off strong with Elijah having the lead until he saw Bowsette flying above him in flight mode. He smirks and she's a web on to her shell. He doesn't jump from pipe to pipe no problem and was able to claim first place.

later in the boys locker room…

“Ah, that was some tough training today, huh?”Sato asks.

“ It's the first class in a while they had me glistening” said another student.

As everyone was having a conversation, Elijah took notice of Mineta excited face and I looked at him questionably.

“Hey Midoriya! You won't believe what I just found, the jackpot! Someone shawshanked a hole in this wall! A previous generation has given us a gift, you know what's next door, right? This looks into the girls locker room!”said Mineta, which catches all the boys attention.

“ Don't even think about it! Peeping on them would be criminal” said Iida.

“ Then you'll have to throw me in solitary confinement ’cause you can't stop me! I want to see Koopa and Yaoyorozu’s curves,Ashido’s slender waste,Hagakure’s floating underwear,Uraraka’s super fine body,Asui’s unexpectedly soft boobies!”Mineta shouts.

“What about Jiro? She's also cute” Elijah asks which makes Mineta look at him with disgust.

“ Of course you'd say that, Hendrix-kun”said Mineta.

“The hell that's supposed to mean?”Elijah asks.

He then goes back to look into the hole only to get hit in the eye by one of Jiro’s headphone jacks.

“What a brutal and precise surprise attack from next door!”Izuku shouts while Elijah laughs.

On the other side..

“Ugh. Thanks,Kyoka”said Toru.

“ Despicable. We'll close this hole immediately”said Yaoyorozu.

“(Kind of upset he didn't say anything about me but at Eli-kun still thinks I'm cute?)”Jiro thought.

“Everything okay?”Bowsette asks.

“Uh,yeah. Everything’s fine”said Jiro, nervously.

After school…

Bowsette,Elijah,and Izuku we're walking home when Elijah spots Elphet who sees him and waves.

“ Who's that?”Bowsette asks.

“ Jackie’s sister”he answers but then feels a gust of wind when he sees both his friends go over to her.

“I’m Bowsette Koopa”she said with sparkles in her eyes.

“I'm Izuku Midoriya” he said in awe.

“It's nice to finally meet the both of you, sis has never introduced me to you”said Elphet.

“Yeah, what's up with that? We've been friends with her for years and she doesn't tell us she has a sister-”

“ Actually we have another sister, Ram” and she said, causing all three of them to look at her in disbelief.

“ So we're all going to have a talk with Jackie, right?” Elijah asks.

“ Yes” they both said in unison.

Next day in class…

“Well, it's almost time for summer vacation. Don't get too excited, you can't just relax for an entire month. You'll be training while you're camping in the woods” he said as the part of the class cheered.

“A big sleepover!”Ashido shouts.

“Baths!”Mineta shouts.

(Well there goes my plans for the summer.Wait a minute, I only know of one place in the woods?That could only mean-)”

“ However. Those of you who don't pass the final exam before the semester is over…we'll have summer school” said Aizawa.

“(Well, this should be easy)” Elijah thought until you noticed the nervous look on Bowsette’s face.

Hours later at Bowsette’s house..

“Thanks guys” said Bowsette.

“ No problem”said Izuku.

“ You know it's kind of funny. No one would guess that the smart ones in our group are me and Izuku”said Elijah.

“ Are you calling me stupid?”she asks,glaring at him.

“Not answering that but the point is with our help you could at least be in the top ten”said Elijah.

“Does that mean you guys think I'm smarter than Jackie?”she asks.

“ No” they both said in unison which made her lay her head on the table sobbing.

“ I can't believe you guys said that and in sync,too...You both suck!!”Bowsette shouts.

“Eli-kun, how come you didn't invite Hagakure?”Izuku asks but notices him blushing and turning away.

“ Uhh..well, she had some stuff to do”said Elijah.

Hours before going to Bowsette's house..

“Eli-kun,let's study together”said Toru,cheerfully.

“All right I'll go-” he said about to walk out of the classroom since they were the only two there.

“ I mean let's” study” together” she said, seductively.

Back to present time..

“ Hope she isn't” he mumbles.

“ Did you say something?”Bowsette asks.

“ It's that.. you got this answer wrong” he said pointing at the book.

“ Be honest with me, do I have a shot of passing?” she asks.

“ Yes”said Izuku.
“ Kind of” said Elijah.

“ I'll take those chances” she said with fire in her eyes.

“Looks like we're pullin’ an all-nighter”said Elijah.

Chapter Text

They went on as usual, Aizawa was fixing up some papers in front of the class.

“ There's only one week left before the final exams begin.I'm sure you're all studying constantly, right? Don't forget to keep training, the written exam is only one element. There's also the Practical portion to worry about, good luck” he said as he walked outside the door or the classroom closing behind him.

“I’ve barely even taken notes this semester!!”Ashido and Kaminari shout.

“With the sports festival and internship,I didn't have time to read the textbook”he said while ruffling his hair and frustration as Ashido laughed.

“It's true that we haven't had very much free time lately”said Tokoyomi,nervously.

“(Even he's worried)” Elijah thought.

“As someone ranked in the top 10 I'm not that concerned” said Mineta, smugly.

“ You were ranked 9th,right ?”Elijah asks.

“What? You were ranked 9th in the midterms?”Ashido and Kaminari ask in disbelief.

“Let you know where the little creeps like you are only likable if you're kind of stupid? who's going to like you now?”Kaminari asks.

“ Everyone,trust me”he answers.

“Man, I thought you're one of us. wait,Eli-kun, where were you placed?”Ashido asks, nervously.

“You don't want the answer to that, mate”said Elijah.

“ If I'm not mistaken it was 6th place and Bow-chan 11th,right?”Izuku answered which made both of them go wide eyed and Bowsette winced at the comment.
“ Why Izuku?”Elijah asks.

“ You traitor!”Kimanari shouts.

“ It's pretty hard to fail if you just pay attention to class, isn't it?”Todoroki asks which puts a dagger in Kiminari.

“ Hey, don't worry about it you too, I can catch up the speed on the important topics if you want” said Yaoyorozu which made the other two happy.

“ You're the best,Yao-momo!” they both said in unison.

A bunch of other students gathered around Yaoyorozu asking to be tutored with a wide smile on her face and go on a rant.

Later at lunch..

“Hard to believe they give us anything too crazy”said Iida.

“ The written exam questions will all be stuff from class so… I could at least be able to do those”said Izuku.

“ Do you really think it's going to be that simple?”Uraraka asks, shaking and had a blank expression.

“ It's driving me nuts. I want to know what they'll have us doing”said Izuku.

“ It's a comprehensive test of everything we've learned this year” said Toru.

“ Yup, and about all we could get Mr.Aizawa to tell us”said Asui.

“Okay, so that it'll cover combat training and Rescue Training, oh, and basic training”said Uraraka.

“ We can't just study, we have to stay in great physical shape-”Izuku begins to say until someone elbows him which got noticed by Bowsette.

It was a blonde haired Young man with blue eyes holding a tray.
“ Oh sorry, your head’s so big that it's hard to miss” he said.

“ You're from class 1-B. Um..Monoma,right? That really hur-”

“I heard you guys stumbled across the hero killer.Just like in the sports festival,Class 1-A isn't happy unless they're the center of attention.You realize you're not in the spotlight because people think-”he begins to say but then falls to the ground.

Everyone looked to see that it was Elijah behind him and had used his Venom strike and also caught his tray before he hit the ground.

“ Weird, my dickhead senses were tingling and there's no sign of Bakugo.Eh, he's blonde so close enough”said Elijah.

He then notices a girl with long orange hair tied into a high ponytail on the left side of her head, teal colored eyes, wearing the U.A. uniform.

“ I apologize for him, I'm pretty sure there's a hole where his heart should be”said the girl.

“ He'll be out for at least a couple of minutes.Kendo-san, tell him that every time he messes with one of my mates, he'll go night night”said Elijah.

“ Got it. So I was listening, I know you're worried about what's going to be on the final practical. I heard it's going to be combat against robots like the entrance exam”said Kendo.

“ Well if that's the case this is going to be a breeze”said Elijah.

Time skip to the final..

“Now then. Let's begin the last test. Remember, it's possible to fail this final.If you want to go to camp, then don't make any stupid mistakes”said Aizawa, surrounded by a bunch of other Heroes.

“ Uh, why are all the teachers here?”Jiro asks.

“ I expect many of you have gathered information and believe that some idea of what you'll be faced with today”said Aizawa.

“ We’re fightin’ those big ol’ metal robots!” Kiminari shouts.

“ Fireworks! S'mores! Here we-”

“ I'm pretty sure that means that there's been a change in plans”said Elijah which made the both of them pause.

“ You're correct. This year's test will be completely different from various reasons” said a small stout creature came out of his scarf.

“ Principal Nezu!” The class shout together.

“ You're changing things?” Yaoyorozu asks.

“The test now have a new Focus, there will be hero work of course but also teamwork and combat between actual people. So what does that mean for you? You students will be working together in pair and your opponent will be one of our esteemed UA teachers, isn't that fabulous?”Nezu asks.

“ We're.. fighting the teachers?”Uraraka asks.

“ Well this should be interesting I wonder who my partner-”

a few minutes later..

Elijah stood there next to Bowsette as they were going against a mystery opponent, there was an awkward pause between the two of them until Bowsette coughs.

“(Okay keep calm, you don't know who you're going against and you're partnered with one of your mates who's able to fly for some time and..who am I kidding, I'm screwed)” Elijah thought to himself.

“I wonder who will be facing”said Bowsette.

“Huh? Oh, yeah. That is a good question.We either got to catch this teacher or run away, so could it be?” Elijah wonders until the spider sense went off.

He didn't see a chain sickle moving towards him. Elijah quickly moved himself and Bowsette out of the way.

“ Well, well, well. They told me your reflexes were quick but I guess seein’ is believin”said a voice.

They didn't see a blonde haired man with a black bandana with a white x on his head, dark gray trouser and a sleeveless blue shirt with three zipper teeth below a letter jacket.The jacket's body is red with a tartan pattern, well the sleeves are mostly white, it has black and white print of a clock with “thanks luck” written above the back.

“No way, Axl Low!” Elijah shouts in awe.

“ Who's he?” Bowsette asks.

“ Only one of the coolest British Heroes of all time”Elijah answers.

“ Thanks, mate. You should probably start running now”said Axl as he threw out three more chainsicles.

In the observation room, izuku along with Uraraka and Recovery Girl were watching the match.

“ Wow, I didn't know he was a teacher here” said Izuku.

“He isn't. Aizawa happen to know he was here and called him in to help” said Recovery Girl.

“But I don't understand what Eli-kun and Bow-chan need to work on”said Uraraka.

“ I know. Eli-kun relies too much on his webs opponent or turning invisible while Bow-chan relies too heavily on her fire breath and flying in the air. If they could just realize that they have a chance of passing”said Izuku.

“And that's where Axl comes in”said recovery girl.

Back to the fight..

Elijah then grabbed Bowsette and web swung to the top of a building.

“ What exactly is this Quirk?”Bowsette asks.

“ It's like Yaoyorozu’s quirks but much more.He can create chain sickles and manipulate fire. Probably should avoid using your fire breath”said Elijah.

“ That means I also can't fly” said Bowsette.

“(That's right, we can't use flames and that's her usual go to moves.His chain sickles are another issue)Okay how-” he begins to say but feels the spider sense go off and notices Axl about to kick him until he dodges.

Elijah tries webbing him but he quickly cuts it with the chain sickles then uses both of them to bring him forward and bringing him into a kick which sends him into the wall.Bowsette then brings out her razor sharp nails and begins to slash at him only for him that easily dodge every one of her attacks.

“You're too easy to read, love”said Axl.

He then quickly uses his chain sickles to wrap her up in chains and cause a small explosion.Elijah then fires webs into his face and quickly grabs an injured Bowsette and hides on another building.

“You okay?” Elijah asks.

“He just got me off guard that's it” she said as she stood up but winced and grabbed her arm.

“Okay I have an idea.I know you can't fly but what if I throw you while you're in your shell?”Elijah asks.

“That could work”said Bowsette.

Axl then makes it to the building they were on where he's greeted by Elijah throwing Bowsette’s Shell at him which he easily dodges but she ricochets off the side of the building and lands a hit on him sending him straight into Elijah who uses his Venom touch and puts the handcuffs on him.

“ Team Hendrix and Koopa, have passed the final!” said the announcer.
Bowsette then exited her shell and high fived Elijah and elbow bumped.

“ You kids did good” said Axl.

“ Thank you, sir” they said in unison.

“ I also like the costume design,mate. Very U.k. punk”said Axl as he walked away.

“I can't Adam and Eve it”said Elijah.

“I'm used to Izuku acting like this but not you” said Bowsette.

“ A’ight, let's go celebrate passing“said Elijah.

The two ended up joining with the others who passed such as Tsyui,Iida,Yaoyorozu. They'll continue to watch the others take their finals. Team Kiminari and Ashido failed,Team Jiro and Koda passed,Team Hagakure and Shoji passed.

“Team Mineta and Sero.Practical exam.Ready, go!”said the announcer.

Izuku then noticed Elijah leaving the room.

“Aren't you going to stay and watch?”Uraraka asks.

“I’m gonna to go see To- if they have any snacks around here” he said, correcting himself.

“(I'm surprised you kept the relationship a secret for this long)” Izuku thought.

Elijah continued to walk until he noticed a pair of gloves and boots coming up to him.

“ I passed,Eli-kun!” she shouts, excitedly and wrapping her arms around his head.

“ Happy for you, love” he said.

“ Do you want to go watch some of the other-”
“ The one that's happening right now is not really that interesting, instead want to go grab a snack?” he asks.

“ Oh come on it can't be that-”

“ Mineta and Sero versus Midnight”said Elijah.

“Yeah let's go look for those snacks, oh that reminds me.I'm not pr-”

“ Shh,you don't want the others to hear you but that's good”said Elijah.

“So how was yours?”she asks.

“ Oh, do I have a story to tell”said Elijah.

After eating a snack, they both then went back to observe the next match which was Izuku and Bakugo versus All Might.Elijah then saw Bowsette in the room watching intensely and walks right up to her.

“ So, think they can work together?”Elijah asks.

“ Izuku will try to work with them but you know how stubborn Kacchan is” said Bowsette.

They watch as Bakugo hits Izuku in the face which angers the both of them.Bowsette grit her teeth and was about to walk out until Elijah put a hand on her shoulder.

“Eli-”
“ I know but we can't or else he fails”said Elijah clutching his fist in frustration.

“Oh, dear. There's absolutely no teamwork between those two, don't they realize the trial ahead of them?”Recovery girl asks.

“ Izuku knows which is why he's trying to get that stubborn knobber to work with him”said Elijah.

They look on the monitor to see a huge dust cloud, it clears to reveal All Might in front of them.Bakugo attempts to fight him head on but as quickly caught, he then fires a bunch of explosions in All Might’s face but he grabs his arm and slams him into the ground.

“ I know it's supposed to be rooting for Izuku but-”
“ It's entertaining to watch Bakugo get his butt kicked”said Elijah as he took a bite of some popcorn.

“ When did you get that?”Tysui asks.

“I grabbed it when I knew what match was next”he answers.

“ I can't believe you…can I have some?”Bowsette asks.

He then hands her the bag when she takes some of it with the other classmates looking at them questionably.

“ They must really not like Bakugo” they all thought at the same time.

All Might then appears in front of Izuku. Some words were Exchange and he immediately backs away but bumps into Bakugo.They argued for a couple of minutes but then All Might put a fence on Izuku and punched Bakugo sending him flying.

“That's definitely going to hurt”Elijah winces at the punch.

“You starting to feel bad for him?”Toru asks.

“ Oh, absolutely not”said Elijah.

All Might then walks over to Bakugo, there was a conversation going on between them but then just as All Might was about to punch him,Izuku then punches Bakugo in the face sending him flying but then izuku grabbed him and runs.

“Ace! That was such a great punch”said Elijah.

“Hendrix-kun”said Uraraka,sternly.

“Let me have this”said Elijah.

Just then, they see All Might looking for them when Bakugo attempts to attack him in the face. That's when Izuku with one of bakugos gauntlet. izuku then pull the pin causing a huge explosion giving them a chance to run away to the exit. Just as the two were talking to each other,All Might appears in between them. Bakugo gets ready to fire at him but All Might quickly destroys his gauntlet and destroys the other one that Izuku had.He then knees Bakugo in the face sending him into a building, then grabs Izuku by his arm and just as Bakugo was about to attack,All might then used Izuku to hit him.

“ Izuku”said Bowsette.

All Might then throws Izuku but then Bakugo used his Quirk to create an explosion sending All Might upwards. Bakugo then throws Izuku into the air towards the exit but all might then crashes into him, sending him into a bus and landing on the ground. Bakugo then created a huge explosion towards All Might.He does it again but All Might then puts him down in the ground.

“ Well I guess that's-” but he's interrupted when he sees Izuku delivering a punch to All Might, quickly grabs Bakugo, and makes a run for it.

“ Team Midoriya and Bakugo have passed the exam, all matches for the Practical portion of class 1-A’s finals have been completed” said the announcer.

Later in a small bar..

Shigaraki was looking at a picture of Izuku intensely.

“ Are you curious,Tomura Shigaraki? About this boy?”Kurogiri asks.

Before he can answer, they hear the door open what is he a gray-haired man with a mustache wearing a purple suit and a smoking hand.

“Shigaraki! Your “league of villains” has been the Talk of the Town for the last several days. Word on the street is your about to start something big” said the man.

“ And? Who did you bring?” he says as he disintegrates the picture.

The man smiles and walks away as three people made their way into the room.

“ So it's really you, huh? I've seen you in pictures but I got to say, you're way grosser in person”said A young man with black spiky hair.

“ Wow, It's the weird hand guy!Your friends with my hero,Stain, right? Cool!” said a girl with blonde hair wearing a school uniform leaving her fist up and down.

“ I thought he'd be taller” set a girl with medium black hair with red highlights in a shaggy bob.

“Let me join the league!” said the blonde haired girl.

end of chapter.

Chapter 26: Hero Killer Arc:Encounter

Chapter Text

Shigiraki stare at them for a couple of minutes.

The first was a reasonably tall pale young man with a slim somewhat muscular build, black hair that spikes upward around his head hanging low over his eyes. Besides his turquoise eyes, his most striking features are undoubtedly the patches of gnarled, wrinkled, purple skin that covers much of his lower face and neck, all the way down to his collarbone below his eyes, around his torso. Next to him was a young woman around the same age as him with medium height black hair with red highlights styled in a shaggy bob with bangs cut above her eyes. She wore a black Gothic Oleta dress that stops at her thighs with fishnets underneath and black Mary Jane shoes. Her most striking detail was her eyes as they were very magenta. Next to her is a fair skin girl who was blushing. She has inward tilting yellow eyes with thin slit like irises, somewhere resembling that of a cat and a wide smile which shows her Sharp teeth. She had ash blonde colored hair and styled into two messy buns with numerous wild strands sticking out. She was wearing a school uniform.

“Kurogiri, get rid of these three.I can already tell they're exactly the kind of trash I hate.A brat, a guy and woman with no manners”said Shigaraki.

“Now, now,Tomura Shigaraki. They came all this way, the least we can do is hear them out. Give them a chance.Besides this broker is respected in the Underworld, they're bound to be valuable assets”said Kurogiri.

“ Like’em or not, you still owe me a finder's fee, in cash.I suppose I could introduce the three of ‘em before I go.This one looks like an adorable high school girl, right?She's actually the suspect in a series of deaths where the victims all bled out so far, her name and Faith have been kept out of the media” said the man in the purple suit.

“ Toga, here. Himiko Toga! Life is too hard. I just wanna make it easier to live in this damn world.I wanna be Mr.Stainy, I wanna kill Mr.Stainy.C’mon, handy-man, please let me join your league of villains!”said the blonde girl.

“You've got to be kidding me. Is she crazy?”Shigaraki asks.

“Well, she can hold a conversation..for the most part. C’mon, she could be useful.As for these two, they haven't committed any flashy crimes but they've taken Stain’s ideology to heart”said the man.

“I don't like this. Is your group really dedicated to the hero Killer's mission? I can't imagine you are if you let this little psycho join you”said the young man.

“That's rude” said the girl.

“ I have to do it the girl, she may be a psycho but she knows how to introduce herself to people. Don't just stare, what are your names?”Shigaraki asks.

“ Right now I'm goin’ by Dabi”said the young man.

“Koyomi Hano, but I prefer Willow” said the girl.

“ The girl is okay but you, I want to know your real name”said Shigaraki.

“I'll tell you when you need to know it.In any case,my new purpose is to carry out the hero Killers will”said Dabi.

“ Same with me”said Willow.

“ That wasn't what I asked you, patchwork. Jeez. Why is everyone so hung up on Stain? He's all I ever hear about. Every damn day-”
“ Don't do it- “

“It's really pissing me off” said Shigaraki as he attempted to reach for them as did they but only being stopped by Kurogiri creating portals from one another.

“ Please call me yourself,Tomura Shigaraki. If your desire is to be realized, then we must increase our numbers. Now that we're in the spotlight, our chance isat hand. I advise you to be more accepting”said Kurogiri.

“I'd listen to him”said Willow.

“ You must use them and the ideology Stain has left behind “said Kurogiri.

“I'm outta here” said Shigaraki does he walked out the door.

“ Where are you off to-”

“ Shut up!” he answers as the door closed.

“ I try to make a point not to complain about a client, but he's too young and far too immature” said the man.

“ Really thought he was gonna kill us there for a sec!” said Toga.

“That guy makes me want to vomit”said Dabi.

“Are you not feeling okay” Willow asks.

“Shall we get back to you about recruitment at a later date? I believe our leader knows what he has to do. That's why he left as he did. He understands his circumstances. All Might, then the hero killer, he's been humbled twice very recently. I'm sure he will bring you an answer, one that will satisfy all three of you as well as his own desires”said Kurogiri.

“ That will be fine. Dabi, I'm starting to get hungry so we should go”said Willow.

“ Alright then”said Dabi.

Meanwhile at UA..

“E-everyone, I'm looking forward to hearing all of your stories of how fun camp was”said Ashido,wimpering as the others who fail look depressed.

“Maybe they'll end up letting you guys go!There might be a last minute twist or somethin’” said Izuku.

“Izuku, you're just hurting them more”said Elijah as he patted Ashido on the back.

“Yeah,Midoriya.You're just jinxing by saying that out loud”said Sero,placing a hand on his shoulder.

“ They said whoever failed would have to skip training camp and live in summer school hell. We didn't pass the practicals, so we're doomed. Don't you understand that,Midoriya or did all b?”said Kaminari as he was about to poke him in the eyes but is stopped by Elijah grabbing his fingers.

“ Just because you're depressed and feeling doesn't mean you can hurt the innocent, mate”said Elijah.

“I'm not even sure if I'll get to go, either. Our team only passed thanks to Mineta. I got knocked out and since we don't know how they're scoring, I might have flunked”said Sero.

“At least bring us back lots of Kent souvenirs, please?” he asked with tears in his eyes.

“Save your breath, he's not even listening”said Elijah,sweatdrop.

The doors then open and quickly everyone took their seats.

“Once the bell rings you should all be in your seat..Oh.Morning. Unfortunately, there are a few of you who didn't pass your final exams. So, when it comes to the training camp in the woods…everyone's going!”said Aizawa with a smile to a stun class.

“(Look at that,Izuku call it)”Elijah thought.

“Yeah. The good news is no one bombed the written exam-”

“(Thank you Izuku and Eli-kun)” Bowsette thought.

“Five failed the Practical badly, two teams of course and then Sero failed as well”said Aizawa.

“Aw! Crap, I knew it. Minetta made it to the gate, but I didn't do enough to pass” said Sero.

“Allow me to explain, for the Practical battles, the teachers made sure to leave a way for the students to win. Otherwise, you never would have stood a chance. We were interested in observing how you work together and approach the task at hand”said Aizawa.

“Didn't you promise that the teachers wouldn't be holding back?”Ojiro asks.
“Just to get you on edge. Besides, the camp will focus on building your strength. Those who failed need those lessons the most. We were never going to separate you. That was just a logical deception we used”said Aizawa.

“You got us good”Elijah smirks.

“ He tricked us all. I should have expected this” said Iida, shaking.

He then stands up raising his hand.

“ Mr.Aizawa, this is the second time you've lied to us. Aren't you afraid we'll lose faith?”Iida asks.

“Uh, a little blunt there, Tenya”said Uraraka.

“ Unexpected but welcome”said Elijah.

“That's a good point. I'll consider it but I wasn't lying to you about everything. Failure still failure” said Aizawa which made the ones who failed freezing place.

“(Uh oh)” everyone thought.

“ We prepared extra lessons for the five of you. Frankly, they'll be far tougher than what you face at summer school” said Aizawa.

after school…

“Looks like we'll be at the training camp for a whole week”said Iida.

“ Wait a minute, something about this location seems..oh”said Elijah.

“ What is it?”Bowsette asks.

“It's nothing” he said nervously, which only made her look at him more questionably.

“Since we're off tomorrow and we finally finished exams, I have the best idea! Why doesn't class 1-A go shopping together!”said Toru.

“Hey, yeah! We've never hung out as a class before”said Kiminari.

“Well I won't be going, I have no reason to-” he begins to say but then sees Toru walk up to him.

“ You'll get to see me try on a swimsuit” she whispers.

“Okay, I'm going”said Elijah.

The next day everyone went to the mall together, some people instantly recognized them.They end up splitting into groups and going to different stores leaving Bowsette,Uraraka, and Izuku.

“Guess that only leaves the three of us”said Izuku.

“ Yep”said Bowsette.

“ Yeah”said Uraraka.

“So, what are you both going to shop for today?”Izuku asks.

“ I need to find a bigger swimsuit, I've grown since the last time” said Bowsette, not noticing Uraraka looking at her chest.

“I want to find a few heavier wrist weights so I can up my training”said Izuku.

“I mostly just need bug spray…yep, gotta keep those pests away!” she said running away while dragging Bowsette with her.

“ Do you mean, me?” Izuku asks, eyes bulging out.

With Bowsette and Uraraka..

She finally stopped and let go of Bowsette.

“ You want to explain what that was about-”

“ How did you know you like Hendrix-kun?”Uraraka asks but notices the blank expression on her face.

“ You like Izuku”said Bowsette, which made Uraraka blush.

“That's not it at all-”

“ That's the first thing you'll tell yourself, then you'll think how cute he is, next thing you know you'll be scribbling in your notebook about cute ship names, then you'll get jealous whenever other girls are around him”said Bowsette.

“ There's…well”said Uraraka, struggling to come up with words.

“ I've been in the same boat and still am”said Bowsette.

“But I thought you and-”

“He’s seeing somebody else”said Bowsette.

“Really? Is it Jiro?”she asks.

“ I'm not telling you”said Bowsette.

“Tysui? Ashido? Hagakure?”She asked, seeing her tail move at the last name.

“ Really? Hagakure and Hendrix? I never would have guessed”said Uraraka.

“ Stop talking at my tail!”Bowsette shouts.

With Elijah and Toru..

“ So what do you think of this one?”Toru asks coming out in a blue bikini.
“ It's okay” said Elijah who then feels a weird sensation in his eyes.

“Everything okay?” she asks.

She looks and sees his brown eyes are now turning red, pupiless monochromatic eyes which spooks her a bit.

He then looks up for her and is taken back when he's able to see Toru who had long messy, wavy chartreuse hair with pink specks,bushy eyelashes,and big round eyes.

“Toru..you're beautiful”said Elijah which makes her blush.

“ Wait, you can see me?”she asks.

“Yeah,Everything's a bit weird” says Elijah as he closed his eyes and they went back to normal but now his pupils were red.

“ Must be a new part of your quirk”said Toru.

“ I guess it is.I got to go tell Izuku and Bowsie”said Elijah as he was about to run out the store.

“What about-”

“Go with the pink one from earlier!” he shouts.

He looks around the mall until he sees midoriya but he wasn't alone sitting on a fountain with a man in a black hoodie. Elijah makes his way over there but as he got closer, his Spider Sense goes off.

“ Izuku! Am I interrupt thing..” he stops mid sentence when he sees that it's Shigaraki.

“Don't move, or else he'll be turn to ash”said Shigaraki.

Elijah felt a chill go down his spine and decides to stand there.

“ Good. Now where was I? Right. It's like suddenly, everyone is obsessed with the stupid hero killer. The attack on U.A., the nomus I released on Hosu, he has staged all of it. No ones even giving me a second thought, why is that? Despite what he claims to believe, all he really did was try to get rid of whatever things he didn't like. What do you think the difference is between us,Midoriya?”Shigaraki asks.

With Bowsette and Uraraka…

“He was probably confused by you running away”said Bowsette.

“ I already feel bad for doing that”Uraraka wined.

“ Just go back and apologize I'm sure he'll-”

“ Me? Talk to him? Alone?”Uraraka asks.

“Do you want me to-”

“ Yes, please”Uraraka pleads as she sighs.

Back with Elijah and Izuku..

“(Try him with the Venom sting or try to web him but then he'll.. I can't do anything that'll put Izuku in danger)”Elijah thought.

“What's the difference? I don't understand you. Your goals and your villains…I don't agree with anything you do. I don't agree with the hero killer either but I can't understand him at the least, sort of. The hero killer and I have something in common, we're inspired by All Might.That night, he even save me from a flying Nomu.He's a maniac but he doesn't destroy things just because it sounds fun.And when things were looking bad for him, he didn't abandon his mission like you did.Even if the way he acted was wrong, he held true to his beliefs, that's the difference” said Izuku until he noticed the glare Shigaraki was giving him but since chilled him to the core.

“Ah..That's like a weight off my chest. I see it now… all the dots connected. Why he makes me so angry, why you irritate me so much, everything makes sense. It's him, the problem is All Might” said Shigaraki with a chilling smile on his face.
“(Well he's distracted, slowly walk over)”Elijah thought.

“Yeah, yeah. That's it. That's the most rational explanation. Hehe, I didn't see it even though I was right in front of my face the whole time. What was I worried about so much? It's simple. He's why these morons are able to smile thoughtlessly! They feel so safe because that garbage Pro is smiling thoughtlessly too. As if there's no one in the whole world he can't save. Oh, I'm glad we had this chat, I feel better. I can't thank you enough,Midoriya.I don't need to change my ways after all.Oops, don't struggle, now.Unless you want to die, that includes you too”said Shigaraki looking at Elijah who's a step away from him.

“(Damn)” Elijah thought.

“You want all these people here to crumble as well?”Shigaraki asks.

“Uh,Deku,Hendrix-kun?”

They both turn to see Uraraka and Bowsette standing not far away from them.

“(This is bad..wait, one of them get help)”Elijah thought.

“Is this a friend of your… wait a minute”said Uraraka who got a good look at Shigaraki’s face and realized who he was along with Bowsette.

“Uh,Hey.Let go of hi-”

“Everything's okay, he's just an old friend,Bow-chan,Uraraka-san ”said Elijah, nervously switchmake Bowsette realizedthe situation and slowly walked away.

“Everything's fine, stay back.No closer!”said Izuku.

Shigaraki then released Izuku from his grasp and he coughs.

“Oh, you were here with friends?I didn't know, sorry about that”said Shigaraki.

He then whispered something into Izuku's ear then walked away.Uraraka walk ran over to Izuku checking on him while Shigaraki walks past Elijah.He then looks at him with a smile until.
“What is all for one after?”Izuku asks which makes him stop his tracks.

“Who knows, really. But here's a little word of advice, friend. Be careful.The next time we meet, I'll likely have to kill you” he said as he continued to walk away.

Shigaraki’s point of view..

“(I had convictions and ideals from the beginning, hero killer.I just didn't know, nothing has changed.The only real differences now I know what I'm working towards.To create a world without All Might and to prove how fragile societies sense of safety really is, that's what drives me.From this day forward, I will call it my conviction.Everything is All Might’s fault” he thought to himself.

Chapter 27: Two Heroes Movie: Welcome to I-Island

Notes:

It's unfortunately a break up, We will have that argument that led to that

Chapter Text

Elijah was out on a date with Toru, they first went to a park, then a movie and then ended up watching the sunset on top of the building.

“So did your uncle say how long you were going to be gone?”she asks.

“At least a week but I'll promise I'll bring you a souvenir back from I-island”said Elijah.

“Can you is your new ability?”she asks.

Elijah closed his eyes then opened them revealing red pupiless.He saw that she had a worried expression on her face but turned to a smile.He then walked over and kissed her until he needed air.

“But I have free time, I'll call.I promise”said Elijah.

“Just like you promised we could tell the class about our relationship?” she mumbled.

“ I'm sorry, what?” Elijah asks.

“ It's nothing”said Toru.

“No you said somethin’”said Elijah.

“I'm tired of our relationship being a secret”said Toru.

“It's none of their business and I don't want to be hassled by the guys”said Elijah.

“It's always about what you want-”

“Excuse me? I don't get to hang out with my friends as much as I used to”said Elijah.

“Oh poor one-hit-wonder who can't do anything except play ok songs and can never be like his idol”said Toru which actually hurt him and made her realize she took it to far.

There was a moment of silence between the two that lasted for a good while.Toru tried to reach out to him but he walks away.

“Eli-ku-”

“I'm done with this”said Elijah as he walked away.

The next day…

Elijah got on a plane with his uncle Hobie, his cousin Hakeem,and the rest of his band. During the plane ride, his uncle was asleep and the rest of the band was busy talking to one another which left Elijah and Hakeem to talk.

“So how did you get into this?”Elijah asks.

“My dad told me the place he was headed to and I immediately said yes”said Hakeem.

“Your mom was okay with it?”he asks.

“She was fine with it but I did get into a little argument with.. it's nothing”said Hakeem.

“Argh, you too?Tell me what it was about”said Elijah.

“There's this girl, we've been friends for years and she kind of ask me out and I haven't given her a response yet.When she found out I was going on this trip, it led to a argument and we aren't talking right now”said Hakeem looking away from him.

“ If you add the fact that you didn't give her a yes or no and also sneaking away. I can understand why she's mad-”

“ I thought you would take my side”said Hakeem.

“ Why haven't you given her a response?” he asks.

“ Well.. I don't want to ruin our friendship. I mean we have a good good thing here and I don't want to ruin that or make things awkward-”

“Do you like her?”Elijah asks.

“Yeah but-”
“No buts, that's your answer.Imagine dealing with the hero killer and he was about to kill you, do you want one of the things you regret is not giving her an answer?”Elijah asks.

“I thought I was supposed to be that cool and wise cousin.I'm going to call her after we land” said Hakeem.

“Good”said Elijah.

“You said “me too” earlier, what was yours?” Hakeem asks.

“ I'd rather not talk about it”said Elijah.

“Okay, but when you are, I'm all ears”said Hakeem.

 

The plane lands and after being checked at the security gate, they walk farther down until they hear a bunch of people shouting for All Might.Elijah now in his costume continues to walk until he sees a familiar green haired friend of his and immediately walks over.

“ Izuku?!” Elijah asks.

“Eli-kun?!”Izuku yelps.

Few minutes later..

“ So you're here with All Might because he invited you? Cool”said Elijah.

“ Not as cool as playing with your uncle again”said Izuku.

“Does Bowsie know you're here?”Elijah ask but then notices that terrified look on his face.

“ I forgot to tell her”said Izuku.

“ Well, good because I thought I was the only one who forgot” Elijah, nervously chuckling.

“Maybe we should send her a-”

“We'll just get her a souvenir and apologize when we get back”said Elijah.

“Does Hagakure-”

“Hey let's go see All Might”said Elijah.

Minutes later…

After having a conversation with All Might, they turn to see a pale skin young woman with a quite round face, wavy blonde hair which reach halfway around her back, two shorter pieces she leaves over her shoulders, side swept bangs that frames her face, aqua blue eyes with noticeable upper eyelashes some slightly longer ones extending to each and pronounce lower eyelashes.She was wearing white short sleeved dress shirt with plaid cuffs a lower bow of the frame design on her neck and a dark raspberry pink waistcoat accompanying these are a pale gray capri pants, under which are a pair of plaid pink socks as well as healed brown boots.

“There you are uncle! Finally!”said the young woman as hugged All Might.

“(She's absolutely gorgeous)”Elijah thought to himself while the two were talking.

“Oh,right. Young Midoriya and young Hendrix.Allow me to introduce you to my friend Dave's daughter”said All Might.

“It's really nice to meet the both of you, I'm Melissa shield...”She begins to say but then got a good look at Elijah and blushed.

“Ello,I’m Elijah Hendrix and it is a pleasure to meet you as well” he said, kissing her hand which made her blush even more.

“This makes more sense”said Izuku.

“Huh?” the three said, which made him scratch the back of his head.

“Uh..Nothing! Uh, hi, it's really nice to meet you. We're First Years at UA High School. I'm Izuku Midoriya”said Elijah.

“You're both in the hero course?” she says, getting a look at his costume.

“The costume looks cool but it's a pretty simplistic design. Huh, I don't see any support items either.Judging by your hand, it looks like you should think about upgrading your gear a bit” she says looking at his costume thoroughly.

She then turns and looks at Elijah's as well.

“ What kind of Quirk do you have If you don't mind me asking?”she asks, nervously.

“ Spider and electricity though I did get this other ability”said Elijah.

“ The costumes amazing, especially with the web design.I love the red and blue and there's a belt for support items and the eyes seem to move which I'm guessing is to capture your facial expressions”said Melissa.

“ That's right” said Elijah who then hears All Might clear his throat.

“ Oh! Sorry, I got distracted. Heh.If we hurry, we can surprise Papa in his lab!” she says as the pogo stick turned into rope and she put it into her pocket.

“(A whole week,huh..it's going to be fun)” Elijah thought.

End of chapter.

Chapter 28: Two Heroes Movie:Coincidence

Chapter Text

Still having some time to walk around, Elijah joined Izuku and All Might to meet a friend while being guided by a blonde haired young woman named Melissa who Elijah couldn't help but stare at as he found her incredibly beautiful. The three then ended up looking around the place.

“ You know, almost everything here was created using inventions that Papa patented”said Elijah.

“Amazing”said Elijah.

“I bet you're proud of him”said Izuku.

“These support items will help Heroes around the world. Who knows how many people will be affected because of his hard work” she said which made Izuku and Elijah smile.

“I think it's great that your dad is someone you can look up to like this”said Izuku.

“That's because it's my dream to become a scientist just like him”said Melissa.

“That must mean your training at the school on this island”said Elijah, noticing her blush when he's near.

“ Mmm-hmm, I'm a third year” she answers looking away.

“ The I-island Academy is where everyone who dreams of becoming a scientist wants to go, you must be a real genius!”said Izuku.

“Beautiful and a genius, that's quite impressive” he said which made her blush.

“ Oh, no, I still got a lot to learn. Honestly, I should be studying much more” she said.

“ I feel the same, if I'm going to be a hero like All Might, I got a train even harder” said Izuku.

“Uncle Really hold a special place in your heart, doesn't he, Deku?What about you, Elijah?” Melissa asks.

“ My uncle.Stood up for what he believed in and he didn't care if he became famous or not.He always had the saying that means a lot to me that I take the heart”said Elijah.

“ What was the saying?”she asks.

“ With great-”

“ Looks like you're having fun, Deku”

Elijah and Izuku then turned around and saw Uraraka who had a calm expression on her face which had both of them a bit worried.

“Uraraka, what are you doing here?Izuku asks.

“It looks like you're having fun” she repeats.

“ You said that” they said in unison.

“ Ahem”

“Yaoyorozu?”Izuku gasps.

“You two appear to be having a good time”said Yaoyorozu.

“Et tu, Momo?”Elijah asks.

“Midoriya-kun, Hendrix-kun, I heard everything”said Jiro.

“Jiro’s earphone jack! The Ultimate Spy Tech” said Izuku.

“Are these your friends?”she asks.

“ Two of them, at least”said Elijah.

“There are classmates and I didn't tell them I'd be here.Oh, guys, this is my friend Melissa.She was just showing us the Expo a little bit”said Izuku.

“ Nice to meet you. My dad and uncle Might are really good-”She begins to say until Izuku screamed and waving his hands frantically.

He then whispered something to her which Elijah understood and then walked over to Jiro.

“So who exactly are the two who are your friends?”she asks.

“ You and Uraraka,duh”said Elijah which made Yaoyorozu’s eyes widen.

“We aren't friends?”she asks,

“For classmates but friends, Nah”said Elijah he then sees with a shocked expression.

“Dude”said Jiro, elbowing his ribs.

“What? You want me to lie to her? Come out of it”said Elijah.

“More importantly, I thought you we're seeing someone?”Jiro asks.

“Not anymore”said Elijah.

“ How about we all grab some tea at the cafe?”Melissa asks.

Minutes later at the cafe..

While the girls were talking, Elijah then notice Kiminari and Mineta.

“What are you doing here?” Elijah asks.

“ I was about to ask the same thing”said Uraraka.

“ They need an extra wait staff and since it meant a free trip to the island, we apply to work” he answered.

“We get to explore the Expo on our brakes and make some money.Plus, there's a chance we’ll have passionate encounters with some cute “ said Mineta until he sees Melissa.

“Oh my-” he begins to say but then feels a dark aura around Elijah who smiles.

“Are they also your classmates?” Melissa asks which made them walk over.

“ That's right”said Kiminari.

“ We're basically-”

“ a pervert and an idiot”said Elijah, deadpan which made Melissa laugh.

They didn't see a gust of wind and realize that it was Iida.

“ Why are you two slacking off? You wanted to make more money, didn't you? But you're not willing to work hard?” said Iida which makes the both of them scream.

“ Ida’s here, too?”Elijah,Izuku,and Uraraka in unison.

“I come from a long line of Heroes, it's to be expected that we received an invitation to the Expo, but my family was busy, so it's just me” he explained.

“ I wonder if you'd be here. I received an invitation because my father’s a shareholder and some of the Expo’s sponsor companies.It's so fun to get to go to the preview” said Yaoyorozu.

“ Yeah. And she had a few extra plus ones so we basically gambled for ‘em-”said Jiro until she's her shoulders are grabbed by Elijah.

“ Was bowsie one of them?”Elijah asks.
“No but we saw her earlier. She said her father was a shareholder here”said Jiro the scared looks on his and Izuku’s face.

“(She's going to kill us)” they both thought.

Then hear a noise and rush over to the platform where they see it's some kind of game going on, they look on the Monitor and see that it's Kirshima and on the other monitor Bakugo.

“ For crying out loud, is this the entirety of class 1-A? Izuku don't even answer that” said Elijah, shaking his head in disappointment.

End of chapter.

Chapter 29: Two Heroes Movie:The Reception

Chapter Text

With Bowsette..

Bowsette was in her hotel room and was changing her clothes.

“ So both of them are here together?”Bowsette asks.

“Well, Hendrix-kun came with his uncle and his band and Deku didn't say who he came with”said Uraraka.

“(If I was a gambling girl, I'd say he showed up with All Might)Guess I'll see them later at the reception”said Bowsette.

With Elijah and Izuku…

After everyone went their separate ways, Melissa invited them to her Lab.

“I'm sorry if it's such a mess”said Melissa.

“This ain't a mess, my room is a mess” said Elijah which made her chuckle.

“It looks so professional.I can't believe you get to study in a place like this” said Izuku but stops when he sees the trophies.

“So many trophies, you must be really talented”said Elijah which makes her blush and fidget.

“Actually, not long ago I was getting terrible grades, that's why I've been studying so hard lately” she said walking into another room.

“(I'm liking her more and more)”Elijah thought.

“I've got to be a good student if I want to be a hero” she said which made Izuku and Elijah look at each other.

“ You mean like a pro?”Izuku asks.

“Oh, no. I gave up on that dream a while ago, I mean I'm quirkless after all”said Melissa, which made them gasp.

“ You don't have a quirk?” Izuku asks.

“After I turn five and still didn't have one, I got taken to the doctor. They said I was in the minority of the population that would never develop a power”said Melissa.

“I'm sure anyone Quirk or without a quirk can be a hero”said Elijah as he pat Izuku on the back which made him smile.

“ I was definitely in shock for a while but luckily, I had another big goal that was close to my heart”said Melissa that she walked back into the room.

“ Huh? What was that?”Izuku asks.

“ To be like my father. Papa didn't have a Quirk that would let him be a hero but he supports Uncle Might and other Heroes with the power of science. He's still fighting for peace, just indirectly”said Melissa.

“And you want to be someone who does that too”said Izuku looking at the pictures.

“ Yep. That's how I'll make a real difference or at least I hope so”said Melissa as she opens a box that was in her hand.

“What are these?”Elijah asks.

“This is a support item I made a while ago after observing uncle Might using his power”said Melissa as she put it on Izuku’s wrist.

“What does it do?”Elijah asks..

“Try pressing the button here on the back”said Melissa.

Often do that which then wrapped around their arms forming gauntlets.

“ As far as names go, I was thinking” full gauntlet”.When I first met you guys and had a look at Izuku’s hand, I saw the scars.It looked as though he injured himself, then at the villain attraction I noticed he was limiting himself on purpose. So I was thinking, Maybe your Quirk is too strong and therefore, your body can't handle its full power”said Melissa.

“(She noticed this by just looking at his scars and watching, She's incredible)”Elijah thought.

“I made the gauntlet strong.It can withstand Uncle Might’s punches three times.So I think it'd be a perfect fit for you, too.You should be able to use your full power if you have it on”said Izuku.

“All of it?”Izuku said as he looked at the gauntlet.

“Please take that with you”said Melissa.

“Uh.. but I can't.It's important to you-”

“That's why I want you to use it.Just promise that you'll be a true hero someday and you'll never stop helping people in need”said Melissa.

“ Promise”said Izuku which made her chuckle.

Izuku received the phone call and immediately ran out of the room leaving only the two there.

“I best be-”
“So,um..Elijah..would…you maybe..want to… walk together to the reception?”she asks, fidgeting.

“I'll do you one better”said Elijah.

An hour later…

Elijah was now wearing a black tuxedo suit with a red tie and standing on a rooftop when he saw Melissa with her hair in a ponytail and wearing a blue strapless dress.

“I'm absolutely gobsmacked, you look enchantin' Melissa ”said Elijah in awe which made her blush.

“Oh, uh,thank you.So why'd you invite me to the roof?”Melissa asks.
“A’ight, wrap your arms around my neck and I'll show you”said Elijah.

She does so, and after making sure she was completely safe, Elijah then jumps off the roof and fires a web onto the building.

“This is amazing!”said Melissa as he fired the web to another building.

“ Yeah”said Elijah.

Elijah then continued to swing until they made it next to the building where the reception was and landed.

“So, enjoy the ride?” Elijah asks.

“ That was..exhilarating” she said that she kissed him on the cheek.

As she's about to walk away, Elijah fires a web which spins into his arms and implants a kiss on her lips which she reciprocates.The kiss continued until they both needed air and placed their foreheads against each other.

“I'm sorry, I don't know how I did that-”
“No, no, it's fine”said Melissa.

“We should probably head in-”
“Yeah, we should”said Melissa.

They looked at each other then kissed each other two more times and then ran into the reception.

They looked to see that Izuku and the others were waiting.

“Oh, good, I thought I was going to miss you guys, let's get downstairs to the party”said Melissa.

“Looks like I showed up just in time”said Elijah walking in hands in pocket.

“ The headliner has arrived”said Mineta, eyes watering.

“Mineta, I can't take this much beauty, I think I might actually die!” said Kaminari, weeping.

“ These tickets were a mistake”said Jiro.

“ Hey Jiro, you look good”said Elijah, which made her blush.

“Sorry I'm late guys”

The boys all turn to see Bowsette wearing a black and gray sleeveless dress, Spike bracelets on her arms and hands, on the top of her head laid her signature crown. They were all absolutely speechless except for Izuku and Elijah who walked over to her.

“ Hey Bowsie”said Elijah.
“Hey Bow-chan”said Izuku.

“You look really beautiful” they both said in unison.

“Aww, thanks guys”said Bowsette, cheerfully.

“Are you mad at us for not telling you about-”Izuku begins to ask but then sees her whisper to both of them.

“ No, because I didn't tell you guys I was going to be here so we're even”said Bowsette.

“Am I missing something here?”Melissa asks.

“Oh those three have been friends for a while”said Uraraka.

“Iida, did you find out where Bakugo and Kirishima are?”Jiro asks.

“No good, neither of them are picking up their phones.Knowing those two, they're just blowing off the party”said Iida.

“Bakugo probably would but not Kirishima”said Bowsette.

“How would you know?”Elijah asks.
“He always shows up on time whenever we hang”said Bowsette, noticing the look of disbelief on Elijah's face.

“You and Kirishima… hung out?”Elijah asks.

“Are you perhaps j-” Bowsette begins to ask but then is cut off when they hear an alarm go off.

“ This is an announcement from the I-island security system.We have received a report that an explosive device was discovered somewhere on the I-Expo grounds. I- island will now be in high-alert mode, your safety is our top priority. Residents and Tourists should return to their lodgings. Anyone remaining on the street after 10 minutes will be in violation of the law. As a precautionary measure, most of the main island buildings will now be sealed off” said the announcer as the shutters came down.

Elijah tends to call his uncle but nothing but notice the service wasn't working.

“ I'm not getting any signal. It looks like my service is completely blocked”said Todoroki.

“Same”said Elijah.

“ Are you serious?”Mineta asks.

“ The elevator is not working either”said Jiro.

“ What the heck is going on here?” Mineta asks, beginning to panic.

“It's strange that the system would go on high alert.That's not the protocol whatever explosives are discovered”said Melissa.

“Saying something’s off about this?”Elijah asks.

“Iida, let's go to that party”said Izuku.

“For what reason?”Iida asks.

“Because that's the place we can find All Might right now”said Izuku which makes all of them gasp.
“Wait, All Might’s here?”Uraraka asks.

“Oh, thank goodness, we don't have anything to worry about then”said Mineta.

“You jinxed it”said Elijah.

“So, Melissa.Do you know if any way we can get down there without the elevator?”Izuku asks.

“ Yeah, sure. We can use the emergency stairs. That will get us close”said Melissa.

“We’ll follow your lead then”said Izuku.

“How can we? The doors are all-”Mineta begins to say only for Elijah to walk up to it, use two hands on one door and prick it open leaving everyone dumbfounded.

“ Well go on then, pools open, water's fine” said Elijah as he noticed Melissa walking towards him and he follows right behind her along with the others.

They walk for a good couple of minutes until they see there's a hostage situation and most of the heroes or taped up. Elijah took notice that his uncle and his cousin were also tied up.Izuku used his phone flashing light at All Might.

“He knows we're here.Jiro, can you put your Jacks in?”Izuku asks.

“ Yeah,ready?” she said putting her Jacks in the ground.

Minutes later after learning of the situation…

“ We've received All Might’s orders loud and clear. He's our teacher, I suggest we follow his instructions and escape this place.Otherwise, we'd be going against as will”said Iida.

“ I'm afraid I have to agree with what Iida is saying. We're still only students, we can't fight these villains if we don't have our hero licenses”said Yaoyorozu.

“It's only option”said Elijah.
“Why don't we get outta here and tell the heroes outside?”Kaminari asks.

“It's not going to be very easy to escape.The security system here is on the same level as that of Tartarus prison which is where they keep the most dangerous criminals in the world”said Melissa.

“Then all we can do is sit and wait until everything is over, I guess”said Kaminari.

“ That don't sit well with me,mate”said Elijah.

“Are you really okay with that,Kaminari?”Jiro asks.

“ What choice do we have?”he asks.

“We can at least attempt to stop them-”

“Hey, come on, those villains have even got All Might trapped. There's no way we can stop them ourselves if the actual Pros are stuck!”said Mineta.

“Bowsie, I think Mineta needs a slap to the face because he's acting irrational”said Elijah.

“ On it”said Bowsette.

“Aren't we trying to be Pros ourselves?”Todoroki asks.

“Well, yes, but we’re not allowed to work as heroes, you know that”said Yaoyorozu.

“Does that mean that it's right for us to do nothing at all?” he asks.

“ Well, it's complicated” she answers.

“ I want to help”Izuku said, which made everyone look at him.

“Really, Deku?”Uraraka asks.

“I want to save them”said Izuku.

“You wanna go fight those villains?Didn't you learn anything from the USJ?” Mineta shouts.

“ Or the hero killer?”Bowsette asks.

“ This is totally different. We don't have to fight them”said Izuku.

“I think he's onto something. Find a way to save All Might and the others without fighting them, am I right?”Elijah asks.

“That's right”said Izuku.

“ That's easy to say, but you know it won't be that simple”said Kaminari.

“ I know, but I still wanna try. We can figure out what the best plan of action is and keep these criminals from winning. We can save everyone!”said Izuku.

“I'm in”said Elijah.

“I know where the security system is, it's on the top floor of this Tower. If these criminals manage to take control of it, then the authentication locks and password have probably been disabled. We should be able to restart the system ourselves. We just have to stay off the villains radar until we can get to the top floor, that's all.If we do that, the whole island will be safe again”said Melissa.

“Then it's possible”said Izuku.

“ Sure, but how do we keep on the low for that long? I'm pretty sure Hendrix-kun can't make everything invisible”said Jiro.

“The security system hasn't discovered us yet. That means the villains probably don't know how it works very well”said Melissa.

“So we avoid fighting anyone and try to get the place back to normal, it could work”said Todoroki.
After more talking, agreed to go along with Izuku’s plan.

End of chapter.

Chapter 30: Two Heroes Movie:The Plan& Lizard henchman

Chapter Text

They all end up running up some stairs urging all the way to level 30.

“Melissa.How high does it go?”Izuku asks while panting.

“The 200th floor” she answers.

“The what?”Kaminari asks.

“That's way too many stairs!”Mineta shouts.

“But it's still better than running into the villains”said Yaoyorozu.

They'll continue to run to reach the 40th floor then the 50th. Elijah then saw Melissa slowing down and took it upon himself to pick her up and continue to run.

“ You didn't have to-”
“ But I wanted to know”said Elijah.

They continued until they were on the 70th floor.

“The route’s blocked!”said Iida.

Elijah gently put down Melissa and made his way to the door.

“ What should we do? Break through it?”Todoroki asks.

“ If we did that, I'm sure the security system would alert the villains that someone’s in here”said Melissa.

“ Then why don't we go through this door instead?” Mineta as he pulls the lever.

“Moron”said Elijah.
“ Mineta!”said Izuku.
“No, don't!”said Melissa but it was too late.

“ Stupid little twat.I'll throw the spinner at you later, right now we all have to run like crazy”said Elijah as everyone followed suit.

They continue to run until they realize the gates are closing but Todoroki was able to use his ice to hold one open and Iida was able to kick a door down using his Quirk.They all answer the room where they are surrounded by Greenery.

“ What is this place?”Izuku asks.

“ It's a plant Factory. They researched the effects of that quirks have on fauna here-”

“ Hold on! look, the elevator is coming up”said Jiro.

“ Don't tell me the villains found us” said Mineta.

“ Wow I wonder how oh wait someone open the door”Bowsette scowls at Mineta.

“Duck and dive. once they pass we can go for”said Elijah.

They all wait until they see two henchmen come out and start looking around, Everyone tries their best to keep quiet until.

“ Hey! We see you, stupid kids” which made everyone panic.

“ What’d you say, you bastard?”

“(Of all the people it had to be this wanker?!)”Elijah thought.

“What are you two doin’ here?” one of the henchmen asks.

“That's what I want to know, too”Bakugo scoffs.

“Hey, man, just leave this to me.Okay? Um, we kind of got lost lookin’ for this party?Can you maybe point us in the right direction? Kirishima asks.

“How did they get all the way to the 80th floor looking for the reception?”Mineta whispers.

What are the henchmen then transformed it was about to attack until Todoroki created a a mountain of ice separating them.

“The four of us can keep them busy down here.Look for a way to get to the top” he said, creating an ice pillar sending them upwards.

“But, you guys-”
“I'm fine.Go!”said Todoroki.

“Izuku,Make sure Eli-kun doesn't do anything crazy” Bowsette shouts.

“Why not?”Elijah shouts then smiles as she smiles back.

The rest of them continue to go forward breaking another door as they continue but notice that it was blocked as well until they noticed the vent. Yaoyorozu then created a small bomb and blew the door open.

“If somebody climbs through the vent and to the exterior wall, they can get into the maintenance room” said Yaoyorozu.

“I could probably squeeze through there but” said Elijah as he looked at Mineta with a sinister smile.

“Uh…why are you looking at me like that?”Mineta asks.

“Use your head, mate”said Elijah.

Few minutes later..

“I hate when I use my head!!”Mineta shouts as he and Elijah climb the wall.

“Why did you need me for this?” he whines.

“Oy!If you stop whining we can get this done and after the day is saved you could be on TV and have a bunch of girls who are interested in you think about it, you can have your personal harem”said Elijah which made him speed up a bit.
“Keep talking”said Mineta.

“I'll also tell you Bowsette’s bra size”said Elijah which made him speed up even faster.

They eventually made it into the room and were able to get the security ladder down.

“All right good job now they're able to-”

“ So what size?” look at him with puppy dog eyes.

“She's a D(Which is a lie, from what I heard from her Maids she's an F but he doesn't need to know that)”said Elijah.

They continue to run until Elijah's Spider Sense goes off, he moves himself out of the way where he sees a lizard man burst through.

“ You guys continue to go, I'll handle him”said Elijah.

“Eli-kun-”

“ Go! I'll join you guys as soon as I can”said Elijah as create a web wall between himself and the others.

“ Dumb decision, kid”said the lizard henchman.

He then charges at Elijah who then webs his hands together and jumps on top of him leading him against wall to wall.He then gets out of the webs and Elijah jumps off his back landing on the ground. He then tries to attack Elijah again but this time he goes invisible but the lizard henchman sniffs the air, grabs him,and slams him to the ground.

“ Nowhere to go” said the henchman.

“Somebody's been a bad lizard. I think it's time for you to go night night”said Elijah.

“Night nigh-” the Huntsman asked until he felt an electric sensation that made them fall to the ground on his back.

Elijah then webs them up and a cocoon. After that he saw Bakugo, Todoroki, Kirishima,Bowsette running and immediately follow behind them.

“ Guess those henchmen weren't too tough, huh?”Elijah asks.

“ Look at you though, it looks like you had a rough time as well”said Todoroki.

“ Bollocks, my suit. Mum is gonna to kill me”said Elijah which made Bowsette giggle.

They all then see we're rocking about to be attacked by a bunch of robots until Bakugo jumps and destroys the one that was about to attack her.

“Didn't see that coming” said Elijah.

“ Was close, are you okay?”Todoroki asks.

“Yeah, fine. I use my quirk on Deku and Melissa, they should be able to reach the top”said Uraraka.

“Now you can help us stop these things!” Todoroki shouts as he created ice spikes impaling the Bots.

“ Who died in made you boss?”Bakugo asks as he took out a couple of pots.

“ Aw, come on, man. You're a good team!”said Kirishima as he took out a couple as well.

“Dream On!”Bakugo shouts.

Elijah noticed a couple coming towards him and backs up only to bump into Bowsette.

“I need you to go into your shell and be ready to use your fire”said Elijah.

“ Alright” she said as she got into her shell and Elijah fires a whip onto it.
“Fastball special coming up, now!” Elijah yells as he swung her around then let go. she then took out most of them on the ground and that's her flames spewing from each hole.

But as they destroyed them, more and more Bots began to surround until they were all together.

“Ladies, Gents, and bakugo.. it's been a scrappin ' bots with you”said Elijah.

“ Same”Kirishima smirks.

“ Yeah,Eli-kun”said Uraraka,cheerfully.

“ Whatever”said Bakugo.

“Hendrix-kun, I just want to say-”
“ If you say that you l-”
“ I thought of you were just an asshole”said Todoroki.
“Oh,well-”
“But I also consider you a friend”said Todoroki.
“Same here,mate”said Elijah.

“Eli-kun, there's something I wanted to tell you… I-”Bowsette begin to say until the bots shut down to everyone's surprise.

“What happened?”Bakugo asks.

“They just stopped”said Urauraka.

“ Melissa and Izuku did it!”said Elijah.

“Yeah I guess they did”said Bowsette, nervously but then sees Elijah falls to the ground.

“Hendrix-kun”said Todoroki.

“I’m good. I just need a second, I'm getting tired”said Elijah.
“Hey do any of you have a phone on you?” Bowsette asks.

“I've got mine”said Todoroki.

Bowsette then takes the phone out of his hand and brings it over to Elijah who touches it. there's a static around him and that he start scaling the wall to the surprise of everyone.

“Yeah,He can absorb electricity when he's running low.He got it from his dad's side”said Bowsette.

Everyone then catches up where they see all my struggling to defeat a villain and immediately help him.All might and Izuku eventually defeats the main villain.

Next day…

Most of the others had to say goodbye as they were only there for a while.Elijah made his way to the airport until he saw Melissa who was carrying something.

“Hey”said Elijah.
“Hey” she said back.
There was a pause between the both of them until Elijah sighs.

“So about what happened before everything got crazy-”

“ I'm sorry, Elijah. I won't be able to-”
“ No, no, it's probably fine. Plus, I got to go back to U.A. and long distance doesn't really work out”said Elijah.

“ So, friends?” Melissa asks.

“ Friends” he answers.

“ Well then as a friend, I made you this”said Melissa.

Elijah opens the Box to see it is a new mask with the same design.

“ I made some upgrades to it that you'll notice when you put it on”said Melissa.

“Looking forward to it” said Elijah.

They stare at one another for a minute until they lean closer.

“ You know, I'm still here for another 2 hours if you-”
“ Yep” she agreed.

Chapter 31: Forest Training Camp Arc:Pool Time

Notes:

Enjoy the Stain but didn't like the movie,I got just the thing..pool

Chapter Text

One week after everything that happened in I-island, Elijah was working on some music but then receives a text from Izuku.

“We got pool time for endurance training,wanna join”he read.

He thought about it for a few minutes and smiled.

“ I'll be there in a few”he texts back then grabs his school swim trunks and makes his way to the school.On his way there, He runs into Jackie in a white sundress.

“Ello,ello,if it isn’t Jackie lookin’ ladylike'' Elijah teases.

“ Hahaha, where you headed?” she asks.

“Izuku got us pool time at U.A., so I was going to head over there” he answers.

“ Sounds fun,let me tag along”said Jackie.

“As much as I love your company, it's only for class 1-A so-”

“ Aww,Come on.It's either the pool or having to listen to Grandpa, please” she begs.

“(I should tell her no but something entertaining could happen)A’ight” said Elijah with a sinister grin that went unnoticed by Jackie.

Few minutes later…

Elijah walks out wearing his swim trunks when he sees Izuku and the others.He then sees Mineta and Kaminari rush out only to be disappointed.

“ What the heck are you guys doing here?”Mineta asks.

“Since we're all doing endurance training at the pool, I messaged everyone to see if they wanted to come with us”said Izuku.

“(I'm guessing those pervs probably had a plan to look at the girls in your bikinis but they forgot to factor one thing,Izuku being a good mate)”Elijah thought.

“Eli-kun, you said you invited someone who's not from our class?”Izuku asks.

“No just wait, the fun is just about to start” he snickers.

He then turns and sees all the girls in class stretching in their school sources including Bowsette.

“Surprised that her tail is able to fit into that”said Elijah.

They all take notice of Jackie when she stepped out wearing a school swimsuit, the guys wondering who that was.

“You invited Jackie?”Izuku asks.

“Yep”said Elijah.

“ You know Bow-chan is gonna-”

“Oh, I'm counting on it”said Elijah.

Jackie looked around and saw the most of the boys were staring at her and she sees that who was staring at her.

“ Hey Bo-”

“ Hey Jackie! So question,how come you've never introduced this to your sisters?”Bowsette asks, cheerfully which made her stop in her tracks.

Check it and tried to run to the exit only to be blocked by Elijah.

“ I should have known you were up to something”said Jackie, irritated.

“ Up to something? I just invited a friend to the pool and also wanted to know why she was keeping her family a secret”said Elijah,cheerfully.

“Which one did you even meet?” she asks.

“Elphet”Elijah answers which made her rub her pupils.

“ It just had to be her. Alright, I'll explain everything after the pool”said Jackie.

“ I could agree to that”said Bowsette.

Elijah made his way over to the boys and joined in the training.

“Never thought I'd see you come to the pool for training” said Todoroki.

“ I definitely need it after what happened at the USJ”said Elijah.

“That's right, you don't know how to swim”said Izuku.

“ I think I tried to but I don't remember what stop me”said Elijah.

As the boys were all training, the girls were busy playing volleyball and doing laps in the pool which made Kiminari and Mineta jealous. Iida then brought out drinks for them. Elijah didn't notice that Iida and Izuku we're talking and walked over there.

“ Thanks,Iida but I'm only here because so many people have helped me get here and that's why I'll work even harder from now on!” he said, proudly.

“ You’d better! The next time I beat you, I want you to be at your strongest, you damn nerd”said Bakugo has he made his way over to them.

“ Kacchan!”Izuku yelps.

“Hey, I got your message. Sorry, I'm late. Took a while to convince Bakugo to come out”said Kirishima, waving his hands.

“I'd be careful what you say”said Elijah.
“ Oh, and why is-”
“ Hi Kacchan!”Jackie shouts which makes him blush then look at Elijah and Izuku.

“ Which one of you invited her?!”he shouts.

“Oh, you know it was me” Elijah smirks, pointing at himself.

“ One day I'm going to-”

“ What's that,Bakugo? You think Jackie looks cute in that swimsuit?”Elijah shouts.

“ I didn't say-”

“ Aww, you're so sweet,Kacchan”said Jackie with a wide smile.

“ That's it. You, me, and Deku. Let's settle who's best between us right now!” he said, causing miniature explosions in his hands.

“ We could make this training a contest”said Iida.

“ Wha?”said Elijah.

“ Hey, everyone! I propose that we see which of the boys can swim 50 meters the fastest. A friendly race”said Iida.

“ I just learned to swim, mate”Elijah whines.

“ Iida, why don't you let us help you out with this?”Yaoyorozu asks with the other girls behind her.

“ Yes, please”Iida asks.
“ And, Quirks. Can we use them?”Ojiro asks.

“ We’re at school, so there shouldn't be a problem with that.However, you can't cause damage to your classmates or the building” he answers.

“ I'm going to annihilate you both and that includes you too, Icy Hot.You bastard!”said Bakugo.

“I'm going to sit this one out.I just learned how to swim and I don'-”

“ Still thinking about when Asui gave you mouth to mouth?”Mineta asks.

“What?!” the boys except for Todorki,Izuku,Bakugo,and Iida shout.

“ It's not that big a deal, right,Ashido?” Elijah asks but then notice her fidgeting and blushing.

“Y-yeah,ribbit”said Ashido.

The first race began and Bakugo was the winner by using his quirk to launch himself for work, not even touching the pool. Shortly after, the second race began which was won by Todoroki who froze part of the pool creating a bridge and which made him the winner. Which led to the last group, Elijah focused on both Izuku and Iida. The race began and the two were neck and neck at first until it's revealed izuku one by touching the platform first.

“(To those Izuku,Todoroki,and Bakugo…I can't help but think about when we dealt with the hero killer or the festival)”Elijah thought but then noticed a bummed out Bowsette walking up to him.

“No fair! I'm good at swimming. I could easily beat those three”said Bowsette.

“You do realize you beat them in the sports festival,right?”Elijah asks.

“ I can't count that. Well except for beating Bakugo but I can't count beating you and I never got a chance to fight Todoroki or Izuku.He's changed so much and so have you but here I am…left behind”said Bowsette with shadows covering her eyes until she feels a hand on her head.

“You're not left behind. Izuku's just getting the hang of his, I still got a long way to go but you, you've had a handle on your quirks abilities.If anything, we gotta catch up to you”said Elijah.
“Well I'm sure you'd be able to if you weren't spending so much time with-”

“ Actually.. we split” he said which her eyes went wide.

“Are you-”

“ I'm fine. After I-island and Melissa, I'm completely over it. Well we haven't spoken to each other since but it's fine”said Elijah.

“On your mark, get set!”said Iida as he blew the but then they all fall in.

“ What happened?”Kiminari asks.

“Why aren't they using their quirks?” Sero asks.

“It's 5:00 p.m. Your authorized pool time is officially over. Hurry up and go home”said Aizawa.

“Just when I was about to get good”said Elijah.

“You know we still got to interrogate Jackie, right?”Bowsette asks.

Which put a smile on his face.

Minutes later at a park..

Jackie was on her knees as Elijah and Bowsette scowl at her while Izuku just laughs nervously and scratched the back of his head.

“So, why'd you keep her a secret?”Bowsette asks.

“ Because my sister is.. better than me”she mumbles.

“ Sorry what was that?”Elijah asks.

“Look my friend here, he doesn't like mumbling so why don't you just speak clearly and we'll get ice cream”said Bowsette.

“Because she's better than me. There I said it. Elphelt is a better singer and I thought if you guys had met her you'd replace me with her and not want to hang out with me” Jackie said begrudgingly and blushing.

“ We wouldn't replace you, if anything we would have wanted your sister to hang out with us”said Izuku.

“Yeah. Plus you've been around junior and you don't see Eli-kun and Izuku trying to replace me with him”said Bowsette.

“And do you see them replacing me with my brothers and sister?”Elijah asks.

“ I'm sorry guys. Next time we all hang out, it'll be at my house where you can meet both of my sisters”said Jackie.

“Well if this all settled, who's up for Chinese?”Elijah asks.

“Me!”said Jackie.
“Yeah!”said Izuku.
“I could eat”said Jackie.

They all together go to a Chinese restaurant that wasn't far away from the park.

Chapter 32: Forest Training Camp Arc:The Wild Wild Pussy Cats

Chapter Text

“Now that you all finished up your first semester at U.A. high, it's time for summer vacation to officially begin. However… don't think these will be months of rest For You Heroes- in-the-making. At this training camp, will push you to go beyond your limits. You're aiming to become”Plus Ultra!”” said Aizawa to the students.

“ Yes sir” they all said.

Elijah was talking to Izuku when all of a sudden Urauraka came over.

“ I'm so psyched! I've been looking forward to this camp all semester, deku!” she exclaimed, getting close to him which made him turn a deep red.

“ Oh,yeah, It's definitely close”said Izuku.

“ Hey, what's the matter?”she asks.

“ I'm just a little hot”said Izuku,completely red.

Elijah then watches this but then notices Uraraka turning red. Elijah then backed away and went to go talk to Bowsette. He then sees her talking to Kirishima and immediately backs away.

“I heard that class A is taking extra courses. Does that mean they actually failed the-” he begins to say until Elijah webs his mouth up and that is karate chopped in the head.

“ I really don't like him”Elijah thought to himself.

On the bus..

Elijah was listening to his music until he was poked by Bowsette and took his headphones off.

“I'm bored and Izuku is in the front of the bus”said Bowsette.

“ Why didn't you go sit with Kirishima? I thought that's what you were talking about”Elijah asks.
“ No he was asking me about…are you jealous?”She asks.

“Not really. Just curious”said Elijah, noticing a smug smile on her face.

“(He's definitely jealous.This is my chance, be single and-)” her thoughts were interrupted when she noticed the bothered look on his face.

“ What's wrong?”she asks.

“ I have a theory on where we're going but I'm not entirely sure”said Elijah.

The bus then stops at a wide location, everyone had gotten on the bus and stretched.

“ Finally I needed off that bus”said Kiminari.

“Where is Class B?”Jiro asks.

“ You don't really think we'd stop here just so you could stretch your legs, do you?Aizawa asks which makes them all gasp.

They didn't see a car door open.

“Heya, Eraser!”

“(That voice…it can only be)”

“ Long time no see” said Aizawa.

“ Your feline fancies are here! Say,”Meow”” said a young woman with brown eyes and red-haired style into three bangs going across her face wearing a cat like hero costume.

“ Purrfectly cute and cat-like girls!” said a blonde haired woman wearing a light blue variation of that hero attire.

“You can call us, the wild wild Pussycats!” they both said in unison while striking a pose.
As the entire class was stunned, Elijah was hiding himself behind Bowsette which made her blush.

“Uh, El-”
“ Don't say my name,I don't want her to know I'm here” he retorts.

“These are the pros you'll be working with at the summer training camp-”

“ They’re a four-person hero team who specializes in Mountain rescues! The Pussycats were founded when we were kids, like forever ago!”said Izuku which made them gasp.

“Please make him stop,Pixie-bob is gonna put the paws on him”Elijah pleads.

“ This marks their 12th year working as a-” but he is quickly silenced when the blonde one puts a palm on his face.

“ I'm pretty sure your math must be off.I'm 18 at heart” she said with an intimidating smile.

“Understood!”said blonde woman.
“Everyone, say hello”said Aizawa.

“ Hello! Nice to meet you!”said everyone in class.

The red-haired one looked around and smiled.

“Elijah-kun” She said, which made the boy gasp.

Everyone in class then stared at him until Bowsette moved out of the way.

“ Do you know her?”Bowsette asks.

“Nope..never..seen..her..day..in..my-” Elijah began to say until he was being playfully pushed by her.

“Don't be mean…you used to be so much nicer when you were younger… you could at least say hi” she said which made him turn around.

“Hi Mandol-”

 

“Ah,ah,ah” she said, waving a finger around.

“Argh..Hi auntie Mandalay”Elijah groaned as she hugged him.

“That's better”said Mandalay.

“(Auntie?)” everyone thought.

“Anyways, we own this whole stretch of land out here.Everything you can see.The summer camp you're staying at is there at the base of the mountain” said Mandalay while pointing at the location.

“That's far!”said the students.

“Uh, then why did we stop all the way up here instead?”Uraraka asks.

“I'm afraid we both know the answer to that”said Asui.

“That can't be right” said one of the students.

“Um, back to the bus”said Sero, nervously.

“Good idea.Load up”said Kaminari, nervously.

“ The current time is 9:30 in the morning. If you're fast about it, you might make it there by noon” she said with the Sinister smile.

“ No way!”said Kirishima.

“Save yourselves!”Kaminari shouts.

Elijah’s Spider Sense goes off and he immediately jumps off the ledge which was good because everyone else was thrown off.He then grabs onto a tree and sticks there.

“Good news! Since this is private land, you can use your quirks as much as you want to. You've got a full 3 hours.You should be able to make it to the facility in that time.That is, if you can get through the beast’s forest”said Mandalay.

“ Hey Eli-” Bowsette begins to say only to see his web swinging away in the forest.

“(Did he just run away?!)”Bowsette thought.

“(Why was he trying to hide?)”Izuku thought.

At noon..

Elijah was the first to make it out of the forest, covered in bruises and exhausted.

“ I knew you'd be the first one to make it” said Mandalay.

He then turns to see Todoroki,Bowsette, Bakugo, Izuku among other students who seem tired.

“You said it would only be like 3 hours!”said Sero.

“ I guess we timed it based on how long it’d take us, sorry” said Mandalay.

“(I want to go home)” Elijah thought.

“I thought it would take you kids even longer. But, you did better against my dirt monsters that I thought you would.. You guys were seriously great, especially the four of you and Elijah.It seems like you've had quite a bit of experience”said the blonde haired woman as she licked her lips.

“ Uh oh” said Elijah.

“ I called Dibs on these kittens, I'll groom them myself!-”

“Why?”Elijah asks until he sees the little boy wearing a hat with a sour expression on his face.

“ Oh this little guy? He's my nephew who lives with us now”said Mandalay.

“ I thought that Eli-kun was-”

“ She's married to my uncle,Bowsie”said Elijah.
“Don't be shy,Kota, say hi to everyone” said Mandalay.

“ Hey, there. My name is Midoriya. I'm from the UA High School hero course. It's nice to meet-"Izuku said but then punched him the balls by Koda which made him fall over but Iida and Elijah caught him.

“What a low blow! You fiend of a child! A punch to the scrotum is Unforgivable!”Iida shouts.

“The last thing I want is to hang out with some wannabe heroes”said Koda.

“Wannabe? How old are you, kid?”Iida asks.

“Izuku,Keep it together,mate”said Elijah.

“That's enough playing around-”

“ Nobody was playing around”Elijah adds.

“Get your stuff off the bus.once your bags are in your rooms, we'll have dinner in the cafeteria. After that, you can bathe and sleep. Tomorrow your training starts in earnest”said Aizawa.

Elijah then looked to see his uncle walk out and saw Izuku.

“ I take it you met Koda?”he asks.

“ Yep, he punched me best mate in his berries”said Elijah.

“ When I first met him, you kicked me in the shin”said Hobie.

At dinner…

“So how come you didn't tell us your auntie was also a-”
“As a kid, you think that's cool but when you're about in middle school, your mind changes”said Elijah.

“Hey Eli-kun, do you know anything about Kota?”Izuku asks.

“ That's my auntie's side so, no”said Elijah, noticing the Wayward look on Izuku's face.

Later in the bath…

“The food and stuff is fine, but to be honest, I'm hungry for somethin’ else. Just one little wall, a few pieces of wood, and Heaven’s waiting on the other side.A bath full of boobs and babes ready to be seen by yours truly”said Mineta.

“It's the first day, mate.Can't you save it for like tomorrow or the next day?”Elijah asks.

“ Bathe, my angels. How stupid of them not just dagger the time that we’d be naked next to each other”Mineta groans.

“Boys got issues”said Elijah.

“It's too much for him”said Kaminari.

“ You're to stop this at once, Mineta. What you’re doing is demeaning, for both the girls and yourself, it's Shameless behavior!”said Iida.

“Now I know why I have this quirk. It's because walls are meant to be climbed”said Mineta.

Mineta was about to start climbing until he felt twip sound and sees his hand was webbed up and looked at Elijah.

“ Oops.. my finger slipped, my bad”said Elijah.

“ Hendrix, why?!”Mineta asks.

“Because you are the enemy of all women”said Elijah but then sees him get free and start climbing the wall but after a few minutes falls back to the landing in the water. He looks up to see that it was Kota who then saw in the girl side and was about to fall until Izuku saved him.

“ I'm going to take him back to Mandalay”said Izuku.

“ Hey Hendrix, you've known Midoriya and Koopa for a long time?”Kirishima asks.

“ I have including loud mouth over there” he answers with narrow eyes.

“Do you know if…she's interested in anybody?”he asks.

“Not that I know of” he answers.

“ Also what's with the crown that she wears? She royalty or something?”Kiminari asks.

“I just thought it was a birthday gift that her mum got her but it has a more special meanin’ to it.Her Grandpa had that custom made for her and wanted to give it to her but he unfortunately passed away so her parents wrapped it up and gave it to her, the last thing he crafted.A certain a wanker and his friends try to take it from her but I ended up giving it back, since then I never seen her without it”said Elijah.

On the girls side…

Bowsette was sitting in the bath with the other girls when she overheard that.

“( Baka Eli-kun…but it makes me happy, he remembers)”Bowsette thought.

End of chapter.

Chapter 33: Forest Training Camp Arc:Willow's Way

Notes:

What is Willow's quirk u asks? find out here

Chapter Text

Early in the morning, all of class A were training in different ways to improve their quirks. Elijah was on top of a cliff until he backflips off of it and he's diving until he finally shoots two webs out of his wrist shooting him up. He then jumps from tree to tree all closing his eyes until the spider sense starts tingling and he starts moving out of the way. He opens to see that it was a couple of traps that were set up for him.

“ Impressive, you beat your last time by a couple of seconds. Want to go again?”Hobie asks.

“ Daddy, Daddy!”

They both turn to see a little girl who looked to be about 4 years old with burgundy red hair and tan skin wearing a small shirt with all my on it and shorts.Hobie then goes over and picks her up which makes the girls smile.

“ What are you doing kiddo? I thought we said you won't be able to come outside and play with Kota”said Hobie.

“But he won't play with me” said the little girl until she sees Elijah and smiles.

“Chiho,Now I feel better”said Elijah.

“Eli-onii” said the girl,cheerfully and running over time hugging his leg.

“Wow look at you, how old are you now?” he asks while picking her up.

“ I'm four”said Chiho.

“Your auntie just informed me that the rest of team-”

“ Ragdoll’s here? Would it be possible to-”

 

“Still have a crush on her, I see. You know she's the same age as your auntie?”Hobie asks.

“Oy,I can dream,can’t i?”Elijah asks.

Meanwhile with Izuku and Bowsette…

Both Izuku and Bowsette were trying to hit a man wearing a brown variation of the cat costume who easily dodged both their attack knocking one to a tree and another two a bush.

“ If you don't push yourself, you won't send your muscle fibers, and then you won't get stronger!” said the man.

“Right, sir” they both said in unison.

“I can't hear the both of you!” he shouts.

“ Right, sir!” they both repeated.

“(I have to get better at war god)”Bowsette thought.

Hours later…

Everyone was exhausted but then saw a bunch of table set up and a bunch of ingredients later on on one table with Ragdoll and Pixie bob standing next to it.

“ Now, remember what I said? We're not serving you food anymore!” said Pixie bob.

“ If you guys want to eat, you'll have to make your own meals! Starting with curry!” she said, excitedly.

“Yes, ma'am” they said, exhaustedly as Ragdoll began to laugh.

“Oh, man, do you guys look exhausted but that doesn't mean you can coast by making sloppy cat food”said Ragdoll.

Just then, Elijah appeared in front of her which took her by surprise as he grabbed her hand.

“ At last we meet again,Ms.Shiretoko.Once again you've been stare at me with your beauty”said Elijah.

“(He's at it again)”Pixie-bob thought.

“Oh,uh..hi Hendrix-kun, you've gotten taller”said Ragdoll,nervously smiling.

“Can you get more beautiful every time I see you”said Elijah.

“(What's going on here?)” Both classes wondered.

“Well.. you best work on that Curry, I need to go work on something” she said running away.

“(That's new)”Pixie-bob thought.

While cooking the curry…

Izuku was working on one part of the curry while Elijah was chopping up vegetables.

“Hey if you guys want, I could help out-”
“That's nice of you but you can just start the fire”Izuku,nervously.

“I've gotten bet-” she begins to say but then sees Elijah put a hand on her shoulder.

“Bowsie, we're counting on you for this important part of Curry, let us worry about the small stuff” he said which made her smile and walk away.

“You guys should let her-”Jiro began but is then brought into a huddle with Izuku and Elijah.

“Jiro,I know you don't know this but, Bowsette is a rich girl. She has servants cook for her back home”said Elijah.

“She once made us pancakes and they came out burnt and lumpy with burnt pieces in it and then there's… I don't even want to talk about that day”said Izuku, holding his hand to his mouth.

“See that's why I switched my lunch with the prick…Oy Prick!”Elijah shouts.

“What?!”Bakugo asks.

“Doesn't this bring back memories of that field trip we took in junior high, when you stole my lunch?”Elijah asks.
“Don't remind me! That lunch was disgusting, I thought I was going to die from how bad it was!”Bakugo shouts not noticing who was behind him.

“K-Kacchan”said Izuku.

“ I was looking forward to that lunch-”
“I ended up doing you a favor! That pig slop should be a crime.I'd rather eat dog food than that-”
“ K-Kacchan”said a frightened Izuku.

“What do you want nerd?!”Bakugo asks until he hears the cracking of knuckles.

“So, you'd rather eat dog food then lunch I made specifically for one of my friends”

Bakugo cautiously turns around to see Bowsette who was in Warrior god mode and had a Sinister smile on her face surrounded by a dark aura which sent shivers down Bakugo’s spine.

“You're good”said Jiro.

“Dinner and a show”said Elijah.

After making the curry, everyone sat down and ate together except for Bakugo who was tied to a tree with a couple of bruises.

“You could have told me he stole your lunch”said Bowsette.

“ Didn't want to trouble you”said Elijah.

“ Is anyone going to feed him?”Kirishima asks.

“Oh I gave him the curry I made and I also gave some to that blonde guy from the other class” she said, proudly.

“(We all should avoid her bad side)” the whole class thought in unison.

Little did they know on a cliff not that far away. Dabi,Toga,Willow, in a couple other villains we're there.
“ That makes eight of us”said Dabi.

“ I don't care. Just let me loose, a two pumped up to stand by” said the one covered by a cloak.

“ Shut your mouth, you crazy bastard.We wait, we're still expecting three more people to join our little party”said Dabi.

“ The league of villains made a mistake hiring a bunch of random thugs at the U.S.I.”said Willow.

“That's why it's better to use a small group of Elites. First thing we do is take away their sense of peace and show them that their lives rest in our hands”said Dabi.

Meanwhile with the Pussycats..

Pixie Bob was about to head to bed until she sees Ragdoll walking around in circles.

“ I mean he's gotten older and quite handsome..no, that's grooming..Even though I'm at the age to take a mate..no… what do I do?”Ragdoll wondered.

“Thinking about Elijah-kun?”Pixie-bob asks, earning a shriek from Ragdoll.

“ N-no, I was just on my way to bed” she said running off.

The next day, the class continued their usual training until sunset where they cook themselves dinner yet again. After dinner, they all gathered in a singular spot in the forest at night.

“ Perfect. We’ve filled our bellies and cleaned our dishes. It's time for..”said Pixie bob.

“ A total awesome test of courage!”Ashido shouts.

“ We're going to win!” said kaminari,Sero,Kirishima in unison.

“Not so fast. It pains me to say it, but the remedial class will be having lessons with me tonight instead”said Aizawa.

“ You can just feel the Heartbreak”said Elijah as they were dragged off.
“ Okay, so Class B is going to start out as are “scarers”. When they're in place, Class A will leave in pairs every 3 minutes. There are tags with your names on them at the far end of the root, your goal is to collect those”Pixie-Bob explains.

“Revery in the dark” said Tokoyami.

“(He's been saying that a lot lately)”Elijah thought.

“ Now, those who are our scarers aren't allowed to make physical contact. Use your quirks to terrify the others. got it?”Pixie-Bob asks.

“The winners are the creative students who make the most people piss their pants”said Tiger.

“Did we need that visual?Jiro asks.

“ I see! They're encouraging us to stroke our imaginations as we compete with each other all the while showing us more uses for our quirks in the process”said Iida.

“Makin’ a lot of assumptions”said Elijah.

Everyone then drawn names,Everyone had a partner except for Elijah.

“I see that the world is against me”said Elijah.

“ We were randomly assigned. It's not that nobody shows you or anything-”said Ojiro until he felt a hand on his shoulder.

A couple of them went into the forest but then they all saw smoke in the air.Pixie-bob is then grabbed and smashed into the ground by a man who was dressed like the hero killer but with green skin and another man with long red hair and glasses holding onto some kind of thing covered in cloth.

“ What? No way! I thought they made sure no one could find us, so why the heck are their villains attacking this place?”Mineta asks.

“Pixie-bob!”said Izuku as he was about to rush to her aid until Mandalay and Tiger stepped in front of him.

“ This is bad” said Mandalay.

“ Oh, no. Where’s Kota?” Izuku asks.

"(Uncle Hobie and Chiho should back at camp but Ko-)"

“How are you this evening, UA high school? We are part of the Vanguard action Squad of the league of villains”said the one dressed like Stain.

“The league of villains? What are those guys doing here?”Ojiro asks.

“ I could crush this Kitty's head so easily. How about it, dears, should I?” the other villain asks.

“ You get away from her!”said Tiger.

“ Now, now. Hold on, big sis Mag. You, too,Tiger, calm down.When deciding if someone should live or die, you must be careful that we're abiding by Stains principles”said the other villain.

“ Fantastic, he inspired other villains”said Elijah.

“ So, you're the one he ended up inspiring-”
“At your service. That's us.And you, for eyes.I believe I recognize you.You're one of the self-righteous brats who attacked Stain in Hosu City.Let me introduce myself.Call me, Spinner.I'm here to make Stain’s dream a reality” he said pulling out a weapon with multiple swords.

“I don't care who you are. Your criminals! The woman lying there is named Pixie-Bob. She's a Pro Hero who saved countless lives. She's giving her all for these young Heroes, pushing them to reach their full potential. She's looking for a mate, but otherwise she's-”

“ Don't go putting her business out like that”said Elijah.

“ Point being, what gives you the right to cut such a happy life short?”Tiger asks while bringing out his claws.

“Tiger, I've talked to everyone.Trust the safety of the others students to Ragdoll, you and I will stay here. We’ll back! You return to camp!You're in charge class rep, keep them safe” said Mandalay.

“ Right”said Iida.

They all continued to run except for Izuku who stayed. As they were running,Elijah’s Spider Sense goes off and sees a bat that turns into a woman and kicks him into a tree.

“ Just my luck, what are you?”Elijah asks as he kick up off the ground.

“ You see me everywhere, including in your worst nightmare. I am Willow” she answered.

“Don't care for your poetry slam, it was lame”said Elijah, noticing the shadows over her eyes but then heard sniffling.

“ Hey! I worked hard on that”Willow, with tears coming down her face.

“(Did I just make a Villain cry?)”Elijah thought,sweatdrop.

“Dabi said it sounded good and that green haired hero didn't complain” she said turning and walking away.

“ Green haired hero? You mean Ragdoll? What did you do to her?”Elijah asks.

“I'm not answering you” she retorts.

Elijah then fires away with her only for her to disappear from his vision until the spider sense went off from behind.

“ What a hassle” she said and she tried to strike him from behind but he quickly dodged.

“(She's quick)”Elijah thought.

“While I have you, do you know where I can find a student named Bakugo or another one named Hendrix?”she asks.

“(She's after Bakugo and me?)”Elijah thought.

“I see.One out of two is still good.I'm going to need you to come with me, I'd rather settle this peacefully but if you force my hand-”
“You'll buy me a black macchiato at some coffee shop and paint my nails black?” he asks which put a tick mark on her head.

“Hard way it is then”said Willow.

He activates his camouflage and tries to sneak away only to be caught by the leg and thrown down.

“No use hiding.I see everything”said Willow.

“We'll see this” said Elijah as he fires his Mega Venom blast which sends her back a bit.

“Listen, we discovered one of the villains' targets. It's a student named Kacchan.Kacchan, you should try to avoid combat and stick to a group” said Mandalay using her quirk.

Willow then gets up and dust herself off until she sees fire coming at her.Elijah then looks to see that it was Bowsette, wearing a black checkered shirt and denim ripped blue jeans with black sneakers.

“Bowsie? What are you doing-”

“ I noticed you weren't behind us and ran back”she answers.

“Two against one is unfair but it won't matter”said Willow.

“Be careful, She seems to be able to turn into a bat and she was able to see me while I was camouflaged”said Elijah.

Elijah fires webs but with his electricity going through them when she quickly Dodges only to be met with Bowsette's tail smacking her into a tree.Before she has a chance to get up,Bowsette fires the spikes off her shell but Willow disappears as they hit the ground.

“Where did she-”

“I am the one hiding under your bed,Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red” said Willow.
“ Which way is she going to come from?”Elijah asks.

“I am the darkness, I am your nightmare, I am Willow” she said as her voice echoed through the forest.

Elijah then turned around and saw her right behind him and immediately wept her up and put her to the tree. She quickly breaks out and started to use fire which caught him off guard.

“(Wait, she wasn't using flames earlier..wait, that's Bowsette!)”Elijah thought but is then interrupted when he no longer sees Willow but Bowsette with red eyes.

“ What did you do to Eli-kun?!” she shouts.

“Bowsie, stop. She's using some kind of-” he tries to tell her but it falls on deaf ears as she begins to charge at him dodging most of her attacks.

Bowsette activates war god and begins to charge him with increased speed. Her nails strikes at his chest, leaving claw marks on a shirt. Before he has a chance to recover, she then gets into a shell and rushes at him. He was able to dodge the first time but she didn't Ricochet off of a tree and nailed him which planted him on the ground. She then walked over lifting him by his shirt.

“I'll ask again, where is Eli-kun?” she asks.

Elijah had an idea, he took out his phone and put it on camera mode. Bowsette then looked to see that she was holding Elijah and put him down.

Eli-kun! I'm so sorry!”she shouts.

Before he could say anything he then noticed Willow about the attack her from behind and quickly moved Bowsette out of the way only to be bitten on the neck.

“Eli-kun!!”Bowsette yells.

Before she had a chance to do anything, Willow then is surrounded by a bunch of bats that form around her and Elijah.

“ He won't die but if you follow us, I can't guarantee his safety”said Willow.

The bats then disappeared along with Willow and Elijah. Bowsette grits her teeth and punch the ground in anger and frustration.

“(Eli-kun..I'm sorry)” she thought as tears ran down her face and hit the ground.

With Willow…

Willow reappears in front of Dabi and a guy wearing a black skin tight suit with a white mask at the top they cut off at the nose.

“ Dabi, I captured one of our targets.He'll be paralyzed for at least an hour”said Willow.

“And that makes three.Good job, Koyomi”said Dabi.

“ Baka,It's codenames when we're out” she said, slapping him in the back of the head.

“Scary!” said the guy in the black suit.

“ Shut up, Twice”said Willow.

“ This place was supposed to be hard to find because of the walls of flame and poisonous gas but looks like the gas is gone, things never go according to plan, do they?”Dabi asks.

“Real. This is the pain”said Twice.

“ Also Dabi, he made fun of my poetry”said Willow while dragging Elijah on the ground.

“ What?”He said, aggressively.

He then picks up Elijah off the ground and puts him against the tree. Elijah couldn't say anything but just look at him completely terrified as a blue flame was in one of his hands and brought a close to his face.

“ Where do you get off making fun of her poetry?Huh?”Dabi asks but didn’t get a response.

Dabi then punched him in the gut which was the final blow that knocked out Elijah.

“ Probably should have told you he can't talk either due to the paralysis”said Willow,deadpanned but then sees Toga at the rendezvous point.

“ Huh? Lame. I'm the only one here?”she asks.

“ Hey, crazy. Did you get the blood? How many different times?”Dabi asks.

“ One person's!” she answers, happily.

“ Just one? Hey, what gives? Weren't you supposed to get at least three?”Twice asks.

“That's just the way it went down. I thought those brats were going to kill me”said Toga.

“Whatever”said Twice.

“ You're looking a little too happy right now. Strange. Shouldn't you be full of shame?” he asked which makes her giggle and twirl.

“Yeah, but I made some great new friends. and I found a cute boy I'm interested in!” said Toga.

“ Is it me? No thanks, babe. I love you too!”said Twice.

Toga then turns around and sees an unconscious Elijah and blushed.

“ Two cute boys in one day” she said, excitedly.

“ Both of you, shut it. You're too loud”said Dabi as he looked up.

They then see one of their allies come crashing down. The clears to reveal Izuku,Todoroki, and Shogi.

“Give Kacchan and Tokoyami back to us!”Izuku shouts.

“Wait.I know these kids! Who are they?”Twice asks.

“ Out of the way, Compress”said Dabi.
“Got it” as he teleported out of the way, giving Dabi a clear shot.

He throws flames on all three of them, burning Izuku and Shoji.

“Midoriya! Shogo!” Todoroki shouts but then focused as he was about to be attacked from above.

“ The beat-up little boy and you. You're on shigiraki’s kill list! No, they weren't”said Twice.

While Todoroki was dealing with him,Izuku was dealing with Toga who was now on top of him.

“ I've been thinking since I saw you… that you'd be so much cuter if you just let a little more, I can help!” she said that she brought out a knife it was ready to stop him but is smacked Away by Shoji.

“Midoriya!”he shouts

“Should we help them?”Willow asks.

“I'll help, you hold on to the brat”said Dabi as she handed him to her until they see Compress appear in the crater.

“ I can't believe you wrecked my exit.Unrehearsed amateurs” said compress who then sees Dabi and Willow walk over to him.

“ You got Bakugo?”Dabi asks.

“Of course as I see you have the other Target as well” said compress as he checked his pocket but realize something was wrong.

“ Midoriya, Todoroki, we're done! He gave away his best trick.I'm not sure what your quirk is, but it had to do with those little marbles, right? The ones you stashed in your pocket so I'm guessing these are Tokoyami and Bakugo” said Shoji as he brought out two blue marbles.

“ You rescued them!” said Izuku as Mr.Compress laughs.

“ Well, color me impressed. Just as I’d expect from someone with so many hands. How splendid” said Mr.Compress.
“I don't think they noticed that we had their other friend”said Willow.

As the three tried to run away they then see a Nomu. They try to turn a corner only to be met with Kurogiri.

“It's been 5 minutes since the signal, let's go Dabi”said Korogiri.

“Sorry, Izuku. But I'll see you later, ‘kay?” said Toga as she went to one of the portals.

“Guys we need to-” Izuku began to say until he noticed and recognized who Willow was holding.

“ Eli-kun!”Izuku shouts.

“Let's go-”
“ Hold on. We're not leaving without the other kid”said Dabi.

“Don't worry. They were so proud of themselves for rooting through my pockets that I had thought I let them gloat” said Mr.Compress which made them gasp.

“Allow me to explain a basic tenant of magic. If I'm flaunting something shiny, it's because there's something else I don't want you to see” he said as he took off a part of his mask and sticking out his tongue showing two marvels with Tokoyami and Bakugo.

“He's got them!”Todoroki and Izuku gasp as Mr.Compress snaps his fingers revealing the two marbles that they had were ice.

The three try to run but they were halfway through the portal.

“ Forgive me. I do so adore a twist ending”said Mr.Compress.

“You can't do this!”Izuku shouts.

“One last bow and then the curtain fal-” he begins to say but his mask is then shot by a laser destroying it partially and make him spit out the two marbles.

As Izuku fell, Todoroki and Shoji tried to get both Marvels but Todoroki couldn't get the other because Dabi beat him to the punch.

“Well, isn't that a tragedy.Poor little Shoto Todoroki.Confirm it now.Release them”said Dabi.

“That laser ruined my finale”said Mr,Compress as he snapped his finger revealing the Dabi had Bakugo and they had Tokoyami.

“Checkmate”Dabi scoffs as the portal closes.

End of chapter.

Chapter 35: Forest Training Camp Arc:The Plan

Chapter Text

Not too long after the villains left ambulances and firefighters arrived. Of the 40 students, 15 were unconscious and in serious condition due to the gas, 11 others were injured, 13 were not physically harmed, and two were missing. One of the six Pro Heroes was in serious condition because of a Blow To The Head, one was missing but it was apparent that she had lost a lot of blood.On the villain side, three were caught and arrested, the other attackers disappeared Without a Trace thanks to the warp villain.

With Bowsette…

Bowsette was currently sitting next to Izuku’s bedside.She kept visiting him since he was brought to this Hospital it was the only thing that kept her mind off of Elijah.

“ Kota, I hope he's okay”said Izuku.

“He probably is” she said softly.

“Bow-chan-”
“ It's all my fault. He pushed me out of the way and she caught him and it's my fault”said Bowsette.

The hospital door opens to reveal Kiminari and the rest of the class.

“ Hey-” he began to say but then got a glare from Bowsette which scared him.

“ Reporters are all over the school right now” he explains.

“ It's worse than last time”said Sato.

“ I brought a present. I mean, it's from all of us, it's a melon”said Mineta.

“I caused you trouble,Midoriya”said Tokoyami.

“No, please. I did this to myself.Did everyone from class A come to visit?”he asks noticing a couple of nervous faces.

“ No. Jiro and Hagakure are still out. They were knocked unconscious from that villain’s poisonous gas and Yaoyorozu took a pretty bad hit to the Head, she's hospitalized here. Though, I just found out finally woke up yesterday. So it's just us, though, obviously, we wish the whole class could be here”said Iida.

“Only 16 of us for now”said Uraraka.

“Because Hendrix and Bakugo are gone”said Todoroki.

“They know, Todoroki”said Ashido.

Bowsette then stood up and walked out of the room,Iida wanted to talk to her but hesitated.

“ All Might told me there'd always be people beyond our reach. That we can't protect even though we want to. Which is why we have to save the people we can reach.I.. didn't even realize they had Eli-kun and I was so close to saving Bakugo.It's exactly like Mr.Aizawa said to me..My body…wouldn't move…I couldn't save someone who was right in front of me…since I failed..they're both gone”said Izuku.

After hearing that from outside the room,Bowsette ended up going on to the roof of the Hospital building. She looked at the city with a sorrowful look on her face.She continued to stare until she heard footsteps coming closer to her, she turned to see that it was Izuku.

“Bow-chan,I-” he began to say but was surprised when she brought him into a tight hug.

This hug continued for a couple of minutes until she finally let go of him giving a sorrowful smile.

“ I'm glad you're all right,Izuku-kun”said Bowsette.

“Bow-chan, it wasn't your fault”said Izuku.

“ Yes it is. That woman caused some kind of mind trick on me and he tried to tell me and still attacked him.When I realized it was him, that woman was behind me and he pushed me out of the way and…I-”

“Yaoyorozu put a Tracker on the Nomu that escaped.Some of the others are planning to go save them and I'm going to”said Izuku, which made her look up at him.
“But your injuries-”

“ We don't have to fight, just save them.I didn't even realize he was taken until I saw him unconscious.I know how you feel, he's our best friend and he was taken right in front of us but now there's a chance to make up for that.We can save Eli-kun and Kacchan” he said, sternly.

She then walked past him which made him clutches fist.

“Part of me wants to stop you from doing this but there's a bigger part it's telling me to go with you save our friend and Bakugo”said Bowsette.

“You're coming?”Izuku asks as he turns to face.

“Someone's got to watch your back since Eli-kun’s not here”said Bowsette.

Hours later, the two walked together outside of the where they see todoroki,Kirishima, and Yaoyorozu who's coming out at the same time as they were.

“Koopa,Midoriya” said Todoroki.

“So, how about it? you decide?”Kirishima asks.

“I think that-”
“Hold on!” which makes them all gasp.

They all see that it was Iida.

“Why are you here?”Izuku asks.

“You.Why did it have to be you two of all people?The ones who stopped me when I acted recklessly.Who received amnesty with me after Hosu.Why are you trying to make the same stupid mistakes I made?Didn't you learn?”Iida asks.

“What are you talking-”Kirishima begins to ask but it's cut off by Todoroki.

“We're still just students and U.A.’s in a bad position as it is.Anything we do will reflect on our school! Don't you get it?”Iida asks,clutching his fist.

“ Iida, we have to. I know you don't like us breaking the rules, but-” he begins to say but is punched by Iida.

“I'm frustrated, too! And concern, obviously! I'm a class rap, dammit.I'm worried about all my classmates, not just Hendrix and Bakugo.When I saw your injuries, all I could think of with my brother in the hospital.What if your body ends up Irreparable, just like his, because I didn't step in? Have you not stopped to think about where I'm coming from?Or are you saying you don't care how I feel?”Iida asks, grabbing Izuku.

“Of course I do”said Izuku.

“Iida, you got it wrong. We don't expect to face them head-on and win. Will get them back without fighting” said Todoroki.

“Yeah, we'll be stealthy”said Kirishima.

“We can rescue them without breaking the rules”said Bowsette.

“ I trust in Todoroki's judgment, but still. Thanks could always go wrong, so I'll join us back up.I'll stand by my classmates”said Yaoyorozu.

“ You can't be serious!”said Iida.

“ You're the best”said Kirishima.

“I know I'm hurt but if I can still move it all, that I can't just sit still. I have to reach out and do something. Cuz all I can think about is saving them”said Izuku.

“We’ll never agree. So I'm going with you”said Iida.

End of Chapter.

Chapter 36: Forest Training Camp Arc:It's Your Turn

Chapter Text

Meanwhile, at the Villains’ Hideout…

Elijah and Bakugo sat chained to metal chairs, their arms and legs restrained. The room was dim, the atmosphere suffocating. Across from them, Shigaraki loomed, his eerie presence casting a heavy shadow.

"I’ll ask you both one more time," Shigaraki said, his raspy voice dripping with menace. "Katsuki Bakugo. Elijah Hendrix. Aspiring heroes. Will you join the League of Villains?"

"Go throw yourself into traffic," Bakugo spat, his fiery glare unyielding.

"Bugger off,dickhead" Elijah added, his voice sharp and resolute.

Shigaraki tilted his head, unbothered by their defiance. "Turn on the TV," he ordered.

A henchman obeyed, flicking the screen on to a live press conference at UA High. The sight of their teachers bowing in apology filled the screen.

“ Let's return to our short clip from the UA High School press conference that just wrapped up” set the news reporter.

“(The principal, Mr.Aizawa,Vlad King)”Elijah thought.

Principal Nezu, Aizawa, and Vlad King stood at the podium, their expressions heavy.

"We are here to take responsibility," Aizawa said solemnly. "Recent incidents have allowed harm to come to 27 first-year students. As staff, we were unprepared, and we take full accountability for the trauma caused by our negligence. It is our duty not only to train heroes but to protect heroes in training."

The reporters bombarded them with questions.

"How do you explain this to the families of the injured students?" one asked. "What steps are you taking to ensure their safety going forward?"

"We are increasing patrols and revising security measures," Nezu replied, his voice steady. "The safety of our students remains our top priority."

The broadcast cut off, and Shigaraki turned back to his captives.

“ Isn't that strange? The heroes are becoming the bad guys. Seems like they're not dealing with this very well at all. So much criticism. But everyone makes a mistake or two, right?It's not like they’re supposed to be perfect.Modern day heroes sure have it rough, don't you both agree?” Shigaraki asks.

"Spare us the monologue," Elijah said, his voice laced with disdain.

Spinner leaned forward, his tone sharp. "Once heroes start earning money to protect people, they’re no longer real heroes. Stain’s actions taught us that."

Shigaraki’s voice grew darker as he paced “A hero in this current system only cares about money and glory and since Society buys into those idiotic rules, anyone deemed a loser is shoved aside.So we want to post some questions. What is a hero? What is justice? Is this Society truly Fair? Soon, everyone will be asking. That's when we'll know we've won, I know Bakugo likes winning.”

Elijah narrowed his eyes. "If you hate society so much, why try to recruit us? Wasn’t it not long ago you were threatening to kill me?"

Shigaraki chuckled. "Good question. Maybe it was the Sports Festival. Maybe it was how you fought Willow or even the Hero Killer. You caught my interest."

Elijah shuddered"(Creepy)".

"Dabi, let them go," Shigaraki commanded.

"They’ll just fight," Dabi warned.

“It's fine. We're recruiting them, so we should treat them as equals.Besides, they're smart enough to know they can't take us all, right?After all, U.A. students are so clever”said Shigaraki.

“Hey Twice, you do it”said Dabi.

“Sure thing! No way”said Twice.

“ Do it”said Dabi.

“ Oh, man” he said begrudgingly as he walked over to them.

“ I do apologize for such forceful methods. Please understand that we aren't some kind of unruly mob committing crimes without a third act in mind”said Mr.Compress.

“ I don't. He made fun of my poetry and how I dress” Willow pouts.

“Yeah, I'm sorry about that”said Elijah.

“Alright, he's okay”said Willow, deadpan.

“ That was quick”said Dabi.

“Even though our backgrounds are different, everyone here has suffered.Because of people, rules and heroes who tried to hold us back, I'm sure you both are the same”said Shigaraki.

“Bakugo, I know what you're thi-” Elijah begins to say but is interrupted when he punches twice and use quirk straight to Shigarki’s face.

“I'm done listening to your endless talking.Can you not get to the point or do you just like to hear your own voice? Basically, what you're saying is you want to cause some trouble and you want me to join you. Well, screw you.I like to win, I wanna to win just like All Might. No matter what you have to offer me, that will never change, do you understand?”Bakugo asks.

“ He's a prick but I have to agree with him.Your League can piss off”said Elijah putting up his middle finger.

“ We’ll never join your league of bastards!”Bakugo shouts.

“(Best plan would be the web the guy who teleports, grab Bakugo, and get the hell out of here.Find the nearest police station, tell him about this place, Bob's your uncle)” Elijah thought.

Shigaraki then put a hand in front of the villains.

“ Nobody lays a hand on them, any of you”said Shigaraki.

He then goes over and picks up the hand that fell off his face.
“ These “heroes” is still a valuable pieces. I wish you would have listened to what I had to say. I thought the three of us could come to an understanding” said Shigaraki.

“What, you think we're the same? Not a chance!”said Bakugo.

“Then I have no choice. The hero said they’d continue their investigation of our group, so we don't have time to stand here and talk. Master, lend me your power” he said looking at a game of darts.

“(Master?Does that mean he's not the leader?)”Elijah thought but then notice Mr.Compress walking closer to them.

Just then, they hear a knock at the door.

“ Hello? I got a pizza delivery here”

As they heard that, They then see the wall break revealing All Might.

“Kurogiri, gates!” said shigiraki.

Before he could do that, Kamui would came through the hole and binded them all.

Dabi then tries to burn it but is quickly hitting the head by Grand Torino.

“ Just what I'd expect from a competent new hero and a veteran Pro who moves faster than the eye can see! You can't run anymore, League of villains, understand?Because we are here now!” said All Might.

Another hero shows up and opens the door revealing police and a couple of other Heroes outside.

“Ah, you both must have been scared.But you stayed strong.I'm sorry, you're both safe now young men”said All Might.

“What?! I wasn't scared! Not even close!” he retorts as All Might chuckles.

“Sir, was everyone from training camp-”

“KUROGIRI! WARP OVER AS MANY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN!”Shirgaraki yells.
“The Nomu,right?”All Might asks.

“What are you waiting for, damn it?”Shigaraki asks.

“I'm sorry,Tomura Shigaraki. The Nomus we're supposed to be in a fixed location, but they're gone” said Kurogiri.

“ Huh?”said Shigaraki.

“It seems you have a lot to learn,Shigaraki. You're still green. Your little league underestimated all of us. The Souls of these young men, the police’s diligent investigations, and our righteous fury.Enough is enough.Your game has come to an end,Tomura Shigaraki”said All Might.

Elijah then felt the spider sense tingle but he didn't see any danger until he sees Nomus coming through some kind of black portal. All of a sudden, it started coming out of Bakugo’s and Elijah as well to their confusion and were teleported so it looks like a destroyed building.

“What the hell?”Bakugo coughs as well as Elijah.

“ What's going o-”Elijah then looked around seemed the destruction but also saw the man that was in front of him but also took notice of the villains appearing from that black teleportation.

“ That was so gross”said Toga.

“ This black stuff reeks, I love it”said Twice.

“Well, Dabi’s out cold“said Willow as she picked him up.

“So, you failed once more,Tomura. But do not be discouraged, you'll try again.That's why I brought your Associates back with you.Even these children, because you judged that they were important pieces on your game board” said the man as he walks towards him.

Elijah’s Spider Sense flared violently, forcing him to his knees.

“ Brit!”Bakugo called, but Elijah raised a hand. "Don’t. He’s dangerous"Eljiah warns.

“Ah, there you are” said the man as he looked up.

Elijah looked up to see All Might come in trying to punch the man but he was able to take all the blow.

“I'll have you return my students, All for one!”said All Might.

“ (All for one?Like One for All…What's going on?)”Elijah thought.

The attack scattered everyone that was around, Elijah continue to watch as did Bakugo.All Might attempt to punch him but All for one’s left arm got bigger and created a dust of wind to send all my back crashing into building.

“(He sent All Might back?)” Elijah thought in utter disbelief.

“ All Might!”Bakugo shouts.

“ Don't worry. It'll take more than that to kill him. Get off the battlefield, Tomura. Take the children with you “ said all for one as his fingers created some kind of extensions that went to Kurogiri.

“Kurogiri, warped them away”said All for one.

“Careful! One of the heroes messed with him and he's unconscious. I'm not sure what's going on but if you can teleport, why don't you get us out of her-”

“ My warpower is still new,Magne. There's much I need to learn about it. It's distance is limited, and while he can use teleport to Pacific coordinates, I only transport people to and from my own location or with focus, or from someone I am very familiar with, that is all. It's easier to have Kurogiri to it. Forcible Quirk activation, leave this place” he said as his fingers came from Kurogiri and open up a portal.

“ What about you?"Shigaraki asks but then here's a huge explosion and sees All Might.

All for one begins to float in the air. All Might's punches in creating intense blows of wind. Elijah then notice that him and Bakugo were surrounded.
“ A’ight Bakugo, you take the two on the left, I’ll take the two on the right”said Elijah.

“Screw you, I'll take three”Bakugo retorts.

“ That's the spirit”said Elijah as he tries to charge up but realize nothing was happening.

“ What's wrong?”Bakugo asks.

“ I'm low on fuel" Elijah, nervously chuckling.

“Are you shitting me?!”Bakugo shouts.

“ I don't need my electricity to make you all go night night”said Elijah.

Elijah and Bakugo we're dodging every one of the villains attacks.

“ Look out for the guy in orange and the top hat, he's able to store your attacks in his marbles”said Bakugo.

“ Thanks for the heads up. And look out for the lady in the dress, I don't know where her Quirk is but she was able to cast illusions and turn into a bat plus her fangs paralyzed people so don't let her bite you”said Elijah.

They both continue to dodge until they see a slab of ice. Everyone looked to see but it was Ida,Kirshima, and Izuku flying in the air. Elijah then noticed a shell coming towards them which he then jumps on top of heading towards the three as Bakugo sent himself into the sky. He grabs onto Kirishima’s hand.

“ You idiots!”said Bakugo.

“Izuku,Bowsie!” Elijah shouts.

“ Bakugo, on my mark, you give us a giant-”
“Don't tell me what to do, damn you!”Bakugo shouts.

“It's not the time to fight, you guys!” said Kirishima.

They turn around and saw that one of the villains was about to catch them until Mount lady became gigantic and took the hit for them.

“ The rescue’s priority, go home you dumb kids” she said, falling to the ground.

“(Note to self, thank her personally)” Elijah thought.

As they landed on the ground, Elijah got off Bowsette’s shell and wrapped in arm around Izuku.

“Man like Izuku, Ace”said Elijah,happily.

“Glad your okay,Eli-kun,Kacchan but we got to keep moving” said Izuku.

“A’ight”Elijah he then sees Bowsette on the ground and helps her up.

They all continue to walk until they make it to the main street until they stop at the station.Bowsette then had Shadows over her eyes as she walked over to Elijah.

“ Eli-kun…I'm sorry. She only caught you because of me, if I had just listened to you then-” she began sniffling as tears came down her cheek but that was brushed away by Elijah.

“Come on, you would have done the same for me. There's no reason to cry” said Elijah with a toothy grin.

“ The guy I have a crush on gets kidnapped because of me, of course I'm going to cry,Dummy” Bowsette retorts.

“ I guess that would be a go"Elijah froze at what Bowsette said"what did you just say?”

“ What?”Bowsette asks.

Before he could say anything else, they watch on the huge TV as they saw All Might deliver the ultimate smash defeating the villain,One for all.Sometime after, they were putting him away when all of a sudden,All Might now shriveled up pointed at the camera.

“ Now, it's your turn” he said.
His message made everybody cheer for him but Elijah and Bowsette noticed that izuku crying and decided to hug him from behind.

Chapter 37: Forest Training Camp Arc:Confessions&U.A. Dorms

Chapter Text

After the intense events of the past few days, Elijah found himself in a rare moment of calm. Despite his family's relief and the hugs from his uncle and aunt, an uneasy feeling lingered in his chest. He sat in his room, the dim light of the evening casting shadows on the walls, his phone clutched in his hand.

He stared at it for a moment before deciding to call Bowsette.

“Hey—” she answered, her voice uncertain.

“Bowsette, can we meet up?” Elijah asked, cutting straight to the point.

“S-Sure,” she replied, a nervous lilt in her tone. “Where?”

“The park,” he said simply.

A Few Minutes Later…

Bowsette sat on a bench in the park, fidgeting with her phone. She wore a simple black T-shirt and blue jeans, but her nerves made her feel like she was underdressed for the moment.

“He just told me to meet him at the park,” she said to Izuku over the phone.

“Don’t worry. I’m sure it’s nothing too serious,” Izuku reassured her.

“What if he doesn’t want to be friends anymore? Because of what I did…” she murmured, biting her lip. “Maybe I should just—crap, here he comes. I’ll call you later.”

She quickly hung up, slipping the phone into her pocket. Elijah was approaching with a serious expression that made her stomach twist.

“Hey, sorry for calling on such short notice,” Elijah said, sitting down beside her.

“It’s fine,” she replied, her voice trembling slightly as she sat down next to him. His silence weighed on her, and she felt the worst-case scenarios swirling in her mind.

Elijah scratched the back of his head, clearly frustrated. “So, about the other day…”

“The fight?” she interjected, trying to mask her nerves.

“No… Not the fight.” He turned to look at her, his expression softer but still focused. “I meant what you said… You know, about how ‘the guy I have a crush on got kidnapped because of me.’” He paused, watching her face freeze in realization as if she was glass about to be shattered. “Yeah, that.”

“I-I said that?” she stammered, her eyes wide.

“Yeah,” he confirmed.

Bowsette’s face turned crimson as panic bubbled in her chest.Her mind screamed “Fuck,Fuck,Fuck! Why did I say that?!” She thought, gripping her tail tightly.

“So—” Elijah began, but she quickly interrupted him.

“Hold on!” Bowsette stood up abruptly, taking a deep breath to steady herself. “If I’m going to do this, I need to do it right.”

She turned to face him, “Elijah… I’ve liked you since the first day we met. I didn’t realize it at first, but that day you brought my crown back… You became my hero. I’ve wanted to tell you for a while, but I’m not… great at this.” She glanced down, nervously shifting her weight. “I just thought you should know.”
he began to say but notice her Frozen expression.

Elijah looked at her, momentarily at a loss for words. He took a deep breath and spoke carefully. “Bowsette, I care about you. A lot. But when it comes to this… I didn’t know how I felt at first. I don’t want to risk our friendship by making things awkward…”

Her heart sank, but she forced a small, bittersweet smile. “I understand—”

“Hold on,” he interrupted. “I didn’t finish. You don’t know unless you try, right? So… will you go out with me?”

Bowsette blinked, the weight in her chest vanishing as her eyes widened. “Y-Yes! I mean… yeah,” she said, her lips breaking into a wide smile.

Elijah grinned at her reaction, standing up. “How bout we do something now? Just us.”

“Yeah,” she said softly, wrapping her arm around his. Together, they walked down the park path, the weight of the past few days lifting with every step.

With Izuku...

After his talk with All Might, Izuku was walking home when his phone buzzed. Glancing at the screen, he saw a message from Bowsette. It was a picture of her and Elijah at an arcade, laughing together. The caption read: We’re dating!

Izuku almost dropped his phone in shock. He quickly called Bowsette, and after a moment, she picked up.

“Is it true?” Izuku asked, still processing.

“Yeah,” Bowsette said, her tone a mix of disbelief and excitement. “Still feels unreal.”

“What happened?”

“Well…I accidentally confessed the other day. Then I just told him how I felt—honestly—and he asked me out,” she explained.

“So, being honest brought you two together, huh?” Izuku said with a grin.

“Yeah, you were right. Anyway, gotta go. Jackie’s calling me.”

“Alright. About time, though!” he teased as she hung up.

The next day…

Elijah was in his room, enjoying some downtime, when he heard a knock on his door.

“Elijah, All Might and Aizawa are here,” Rachnera called out.

Quickly making himself presentable, Elijah headed downstairs to find his parents sitting with the two pro heroes. The atmosphere was tense.

“What’s going on?” Elijah asked, glancing between them.

“Well, son… it’s hard to—”

“Your father’s trying to ship you off to U.A.dorm” Rachnera interrupted, her tone annoyed.

“Not ship you off,” his father clarified. “But yes, we’re discussing the possibility of you moving into U.A.’s dorms.”

“After everything he’s been through? Villains, a kidnapping—of course I’m against it!” Rachnera snapped. “We were worried sick when Hobie told us what happened, and now you want to send him to live in dorms? I already stress enough about Cain, but Elijah? My little rocker? That’s a different story, especially with how attached Rachel is to him.”

“Mrs. Hendrix, I understand your concerns,” Aizawa interjected calmly. “But we’ve considered all angles, and this is the safest option for him.”

“Mum,” Elijah said, stepping in, “I want to go. Yes, it’s been scary, but U.A. is doing this for a reason. Besides, I’ll visit whenever I can. And if you don’t let me… well, I might just sneak out.”

“You are definitely her son,” his dad muttered with a sigh.

“Two calls a day,” Rachnera said firmly.

“Deal,” Elijah replied, hugging her.

As Aizawa and All Might observed the scene, the same thought crossed their minds: (He’s so different outside the classroom).
Later That Day…

The two heroes made their way to the Koopa residence.One of the troopas greeted them cheerfully and escorted to to the living room where Bowser and Shizuka.

“I don’t have a problem with it,” she said with a smile.

“LIKE HELL I’M LETTING U.A. TAKE MY BABY!” Bowser roared, his voice shaking the walls.

“Please, Daddy,” Bowsette pleaded, deploying her most effective weapon—puppy-dog eyes.

Bowser grumbled, crossing his arms. “Ugh, fine.”

"(That was quick)"the two heroes thought in unison.

Week later, all of class 1A moved to the edge of UA’s campus, which was the student dorms. Thus was the beginning of their new life. Everyone was standing outside the dorks when Aizawa walked out.

“Given everything that has happened, I'm glad we were able to bring Class A back together”said Aizawa.

“We all got to go-ahead to move on campus” said Sero.

As if it was talking, Izuku couldn't help notice the bashful look on Bowsette’s face as she kept stealing glances at Elijah.

“ I'll explain how dorm assignments will work shortly, first however, we haven't forgotten about the professional hero licenses you were supposed to get during the training camp”said Aizawa.

“(Pretty sure after everything we kind of forgot about that)” Elijah thought.

“ This is important. Listen well. Kirishima, Yaoyorozu,Todoroki,Koopa,Midoriya,Iida. You all are the ones who broke the rules and went to rescue Hendrix and Bakugo that night”said Aizawa.

“(Is it going to-)”

“ Based on your reactions, I assume the rest of you were at least aware of their plan. I'm going to set aside a number of issues and just say this. If it weren't for All Might’s retirement from the hero scene, I would expect everyone here except for Hendrix,Jiro,and Hagakure. The six of you went, of course, but also the remaining 12 who didn't stop them, you betrayed our trust even if it was to keep your friends from getting into trouble. In order to regain our confidence, you'll need to obey every rule to the letter and live as model students, that's all. Now, look alive. Enjoy your new home” said Aizawa.

Bakugo then took Kaminari behind a bush when it's all electricity Spark and then he came back looking Goofy which made everybody laugh.

“Reminds me, mo-Yaoyorozu, remember what I said back at the I-island?” Elijah asks.

“ How we aren't friends-”

“ Yeah after what you guys did, we're friends and I apologize,Yaoyorozu”said Elijah as he bowed.

“ Apology accepted, you don't have to stop calling me Momo” she said, waving her hands around.

“Kirishima!”said Bakugo as he handed him money.

“Whoa, did you shake him down for cash?” he asks.

“ No! This is my money, you idiot. To replace what you spent”said Bakugo.

“How did you know I bought night vision goggles?”Kirishima asks.

“Don't say I never gave you anything”said Bakugo as he walked forward.

“ Aww, he's showing his man that he cares”Elijah teases, which angers him.

“That's it. You, me, right now”said Bakugo but then saw him point at a camera.

“ One of these days Brit” as he continues to walk away.

After all that, they all got a chance to look around the door. They were shown the living quarters and how they would be set up on each level. Everyone then started unpacking and setting up their rooms. Elijah now in his UA jumpsuit decided to meet up with the other who are all in the shared space.

“ What are you all discussing?” he asks.

“ We're going to go check out who has the coolest room”said Ashido.

“Oh, then look no further”said Elijah.

“Oh really, we'll save yours for last then”said Ashido.

First room they went to go check out was Izuku's.

“No, wait, you can't go in there! Please, it's not fit for-”

they all go in to see a bunch of All Might figures posters and pictures.

“It's All Might Everywhere!”said Uraraka.

“ Not much has changed except there's more room”said Elijah.

“Oh yeah, I forget you guys have known each other for a while”said Kirishima.

“Yeah, there were times I would spend the night at his place, so this is nothing new”said Elijah.

The next room they checked out was Tokoyami’s which look pretty dark and gothic until he kicked them out. Aoyama’s room was shiny with a disco ball. The next floor, they checked out Ojro’s which was kind of empty.

“Oh! It's so bare in here!” said Uraraka.

“Did you move anything in at all?” Hagakure.

“Please tell me you just haven't unpacked yet”said Ashido.

“Um, if we're done here, let's go” he said with a tear coming down his face.

The next room they checked out was Ida’s which had a bunch of books all over and he stood there proudly about it.

“ Whoa! It looks like a library in here!”said Uraraka.

“ That's the class rep for you”said Ashido.

“You'll find nothing odd in here”said Iida.

“You have so many glasses!”Uraraka shouts.

“Why do you need so many?”Bowsette asks.
“ I expect them all to be destroyed during training!”said Iida.

They then checked out Kaminari’s room which had a bunch of items all over the place.

“ Really?” they all said it once.

“ This is the store in the mall I’d avoid”said Jiro.

“What? it’s Perfect!”said Kaminari,nervously.

After two other rooms, All the guys feel like they're being judged until Mineta..

“Hold on a second, the girls will be held at the same standards as ours. Maybe even higher, show us those dorms!”said Mineta.

“ I'm into it!”said Ashido.

And with that, the competition truly began to go to the 4th floor. Since Bakugo was asleep, they checked out Kirishima’s room which had a punching bag, motivational posters, a figure, and a couple of books about muscles.

“ A den of Manliness!”said Kirishima.

“ Bruh, this room is the most bro of bros,so ace” said Elijah, giving him a high five with Ashido nodding.

“ If I found out my boyfriend had a room that look like this, I’d dump him”said Hagakure.

“Huh”said Elijah.

“ What?”Hagakure asks.

“No, I just found that statement interestin’is all”said Elijah.

“So bold! Makes me want to work out!”said Uraraka.

“At least you and Hendrix get it”said Kirishima.

“ Next up, Shoji”said Ashido.

They all walk over to his room which didn't have anything.

“ Uh.. more like nothing at all, dude”said Ashido, disappointed.

“ So, you're a minimalist, huh?”Todoroki asks.

“I just never understood why someone would want to feel their room with junk”said Shoji as Mineta looked around.

“ So who's on the fifth floor?”Ashido asks.

“That would be yours truly,Sero, Todoroki, and Sato”said Elijah who notices Bowsette fidgeting.

“(Keep calm, you've been in Eli-kun's room before..but this your entering as his girlfriend...)”Bowsette thought.

“ First up is Sero”said Ashido.

They all look and see that it's very exotic and brown with other variation of colors.

“ I'm surprised” Elijah in disbelief.

“ It's lovely”said Uraraka.

“ Sero, I didn't Peg you for someone who’d like the stuff”said Jiro.

“He,he,he.Yep, that's me, always the wild card”said Sero.

The Next Room was Todoroki's room which was which was in a traditional Japanese style making everyone look in complete shock.

“ So Japanese!” everyone shouts.
“ It was even built differently!”Kiminari shouts.

“We've got these kinds of floor mats at my home.They're much more comfortable than Hardwood”said Todoroki.

“ This isn't your house!”Kiminari shouts.

“ How did you remodel this entire room in just one day?”Mineta asks.

“With hard work” he answers.

“ Respect”said Elijah.

“All right next room is Hendrix-kun”said Ashido.

They check out Elijah's room. They were all taken back when they saw a flat screen TV on the side with the British flag above it, a couple of Rockstar posters, a table with a laptop, black covers on the bed, figures on a shelf An amp, and two guitars. There was even a shelf with a picture of his family and two other pictures.The room has been spray painted with different logos and his moms skull design.

“You even brought that guitar with you?”Izuku asks.

“ Did you think I would leave Ember home where my little brother could destroy it?Come out of it”Elijah smirks.

“He has a flat screen and two game systems? and are the walls spray painted?”Mineta asks.

“The room was a canvas and I painted it”said Elijah.

“(This is somehow more extreme than then the one at his house)“Izuku and Bowsette thought,stunned

“How did you get a TV in here and a game system?”Uraraka asks.

“UA doesn't know I have it here and neither does Iida or Momo less you want game nights” Elijah winks.

“We didn't see anything” said Kaminari with a couple of the others nodding.

“Oh wow I haven't seen this in a while”said Izuku looking at a picture frame.

Everyone look to see a 10-year-old Izuku,Elijah,and Bowsette at a hero Museum with Rachnera behind them.

“(Is that your mom?)”Everyone asks except for Izuku and Bowsette who were staring at the picture.

“She's totally h-”Mineta began to say but had his mouth webbed up.

“ He wins hands down”said Kiminari.

“Save that for when we check out Sato”said Elijah.

They then checked out Sato’s room which was very homely.

“It's a pretty boring room”said Sato.

“ All of them are after Hendrix’s and Todoroki's”said Kirishima.

“Something smells good though, what is it?”Ojiro asks.

“Oh, crap, I forgot about that! I finished unpacking really early. So I started to bake a chiffon cake. I thought we could all eat it together, it hasn't been iced yet, but, want some?” he asked as he checked on it.

“Yeah!!” said the girls.

“ The strong guy’s an expert baker?”Mineta and Kiminari shout.

After having some cake, they all went to go check out the girls' dorm starting with Jiro.

Still take a look to see that it had a red black and white and black checkers game with a bunch of musical instruments and a couple of posters.Elijah then saw a purple guitar with a couple of x’s on it.

“ Whoa, you've got so many instruments!”said Kaminari.
“ It's because Jiro’s totally punk rock”said Hagakure.

“You got nothin’ to be embarrassed about, this room is Ace”said Elijah which made her blush. "Thanks"said Jiro,playfullypunchinghis arm.

“Can you play all of these?”Uraraka asks.

“ Yeah, at least a little”said Jiro.

“Definitely got to work on something together”said Elijah.

“Yeah”said Jiro.

Izuku was looking around until he noticed the dark aura around Bowsette.After that, they went to Hagakure’s room.The room was completely pink with stuffed animals a table with a heart on it stars, and a pink curtain with cherries on it.

“It's.. pink,If my girlfriend had a room like this, I'd break up with her”said Elijah which made her turning his direction.

“We can do mine's next”said Ashido.

They check out her room which had a tiger print curtain that was black and pink but also purple.The entire room had pink, purple, and leopard print in it.

“ Ta-dah! Isn't it super cute?”Ashido asks.

“ Whoa..”Said everyone in awe.

Next was Uraraka’s which didn't really have much except for a fan one poster and the rest was normal.

“ Yeah, it's not very interesting, I know”said Uraraka.

They wanted to check out Asui’s but she wasn't feeling good so they skipped her which led them to Bowsette’s.Her room had little spikes at the top Gray patterns on the walls, a bed that at the bottom look like a turtle shell red curtains, a throne in the middle of the room, a table with a couple of bean bags, and a couple of bookshelves with a plant that looks like you can bite somebody. Most of the class was completely shook.

“(Yep, this is her room)“Elijah and Izuku Thought,relaxed expression on their face.

“It's very…dungeon-like”said Uraraka,nervously.

“Yeah, I'm still trying to get the flame patterns just right”said Bowsette.

“You only brought half of your stuff here?”Elijah asks but notice her grabbing her tail.

“ I had to leave some.. embarrassing stuff home since…you know”said Bowsette,blushing.

It took Elijah a minute to realize what she was talking about and then blush too which Uraraka noticed.

“The last one up is Yaoyorozu”said Sero.

“ The thing is… I maybe miscalculated a few things, my room's a little bit more cramped than I intended” she said that she opened the door.

They saw a huge fancy bed White Walls a couple of books and a fancy dresser.

“ And maybe not as creative as some of yours”said Yaoyorozu.

“That bed is huge! You can't even walk in here!”said Kaminari.

“ It's my furniture from home, so I thought it’d fit.I had no idea how small these dorm rooms would end up being” she said with a finger to her cheek.

“ I forget how rich she is”said Izuku and Uraraka.

They all then went back to the lobby and put all their votes into one box.

“All right, everybody. Has everyone got their votes in? Remember, you can't pick yourselves, guys”said Ashido.
After counting the votes…

“ Here are the results of our first best room competition, minus Bakugo and Tsu.Drum roll, please!”said Ashido as Elijah thank you pencils on the chairs.

“With the total of six votes, the overwhelming winner of this totally awesome contest is Elijah with second place going to Rikido Sato”said Ashido.

“Well I'll be damn” said Elijah.

“Well most of the guys and two girls voted for you and for Sato.All the girls voted for you because that cake was delicious. I want some more”said Mina as the other girls made the same face thinking about the cake.

“ So wait, what did I win?” Elijah asks.

“ Game night” most of the boys answers.

“ Fair enough,I'm going to kip down for the night.. I'm usually a night owl so that's weird”said Elijah.

“I imagine your room had a lot to do with that, good night Eli-kun”said Bowsette.

Elijah then went to his dorm room, close the door and sat in his chair.

“A’ight,Toru. I know you're there, speak your mind”said Elijah.

“ About what happened before I-island.. I'm-”

“ It's fine. You don't need to apologize. We weren't exactly at our best”said Elijah.

“So friends?”said Toru.

“ Friends”said Elijah.

“By the way, I'm happy for you and Koopa, I could tell by the way you two looked at each other”said Toru as she close the door.

With Bowsette…

After Tsu said her peace.Bowsette was getting ready for bed until she face called both Izuku and Elijah who answers showing that they're both in their beds.

“ What's up,Bowsie?”Elijah asks.

“Everything okay?”Izuku asks, halfway asleep.

“ I just… wanted to say even though everything's been crazy we're still getting a chance to live out our dream..To being Heroes”said Bowsette.

“To being Heroes”said Izuku.
“To bein’ Heroes”said Elijah

They'll hang up and fall asleep, wondering what's in store for tomorrow

end of chapter.

Chapter 38: Ultimate Moves

Chapter Text

After their first night in the dorms, they're ready to go back to classes.

“ I believe I mentioned this already, but your main focus this summer is obtaining provisional hero licenses”Aizawa.

“ Yes sir” said the entire class..

“ Do not take this lightly. A hero license means that you're responsible for human lives. You can imagine that the exam to receive one is very difficult. Only 50% of students pass the tests required for these permits each year”he informs them.

“It's that hard to get a provisional license?”Mineta asks.

“In order to prepare, today you'll concentrate on creating something new..To Ultimate moves” said Aizawa as a couple of teachers came in.

“(Well, now it gets interesting)” Elijah thought.

“ When you say”Ultimate” we mean a move that will ensure you win against your opponent”said Ectoplasm.

“An action so unique to your identity that no other person can hope to copy it.Simply put, you must learn to learn your strengths “said Cementos.

“Your moves represent who you are.These days, most Pro heroes have an ultimate move. Those who don't are fools” said midnight.

“ This may sound abstract, but will explain more as the day goes on. For now, change into your costumes and meet in gym gamma”said Aizawa.

Few minutes later…

“ Gym gamma, also known at the Academy as the” Training Dining Land” or TDL” said Aizawa in front of the class.

After a long speech, the class then begins their training. Ectoplasm had his clones talking and training the other students. Bowsette was struggling to hit one of them with her spikes.

“ You rely too much on being in the air and your flames. You need to focus more on using your spikes and your claws” said Ectoplasm.

“Right” she said.

Just then, everybody noticed that bakugo had already taken out one of the Clones as did Elijah who went one up and slammed It to the ground.

“(I'll call that ultimate web)Teach,mind giving me another one?”Elijah asks.

“ Young Hendrix”

Elijah turned around and saw All Might deflated and an arm still in a sling, Elijah then swung over to him.

“Yes?” said Elijah.

“ I got some advice for you. You could dive going from wall to wall while webbing up your opponent and-”
“And end it by zapping them, I'll give it a try”said Elijah as he swung back over to the clone.

“Young Koopa,Have you ever considered firing your spikes then while they're distracted going in for an attack with your nails or tail?” he asks.

“ Well...actually, I want to avoid using my nails as weapons” she said with a sorrowful smile which didn't go unnoticed by Izuku and Elijah.

Later..

Elijah was walking to the development studio when he noticed Izuku in front of him and patted him on the back.

“S’up mate? What are you thinkin’ about?”Elijah asks.

“ Thinking about my finishing move and also Bow-chan.She said she doesn't want to use her nails ever again, why?”said Izuku.

“ Probably because of what happened at camp. Scratch me up pretty good, leaving a pretty cool scar but to her, she injured someone close to her”said Elijah.

“ Have you tried talking to her about it?” he asks.

“ Talking to her about what?” said Bowsette as she walked alongside the other side of Izuku.

“W-Well-”
“You shouldn't let what happened to me at the camp prevent you from using it quirk to the fullest, Bowsie. So I got scratched up, it's not the end of the world” said Elijah, with a grin which put a smile on her face.

“ Whoa, that was a very Izuku of you to say...I'll take it to heart” said Bowsette.

They stop in front of a metal door which was about to open, Elijah Spider Sense then went off and he moves Bowsette away from the doors.

“ Why did you- “ she begins to ask when an explosion happens.

“That's why” said Elijah.

The dust clears to reveal Mai Hatsume who was on top of Izuku and with her breasts in full View.

After testing out some of her new babies, they all went back to the dorms. Elijah was just writing down some lyrics when he heard a knock at the door, he used his web to open it revealing Bowsette wearing a black tank top and blue shorts. She seemed a bit nervous as she walked over to him after closing the door.

“ Somethin’ wrong?” he asks.

“ Eli-kun, I want you to hit me-”
“Not gonna happen”said Elijah.

“I can't think of any other way for us to get even. I left a scar on your chest and that doesn't sit well with me. I know what you said earlier but..” she said which made him sigh.

“ I'm not going to hit you, maybe something else?” he said.

She looked at him confused but then saw his eyes staring her chest and narrowed her eyes.

“ If you can make your perverted eyes stop staring at my chest then I will” she said, grabbing him by the shirt.

“ I wasn't, I just really like the design” he refutes nervously until she lets go.

“So hittin’ you gonna make us even, huh? A’ight. Might want to brace yourself” said Elijah as she closed her eyes.

She then kept them tightly shut but then felt something soft and wet on her lips which made her open her eyes to see that he was kissing her. He then disconnects and goes back to writing.

“ There you go, we're even” he said but then felt Bowsette rest her head on his shoulder.

“ Not fair” said Bowsette, pouting.

“ I know”Elijah smirks.

Everyone can see the training while adding new equipment to their costumes, Elijah added a bit more to a suit except a couple of gadgets.

End of chapter

Chapter 39: Shiketsu High

Notes:

So imagine Bowsette's voice suddenly now start to sound like Giselle Fernandez

Chapter Text

After another day of training, the girls all gathered to study together.

“Argh, does it have to be this hard?”Ashido groans.

“ Well it's not called intensive training for nothing”said Hagakure.

“That's true. But it's strange to think there's only a week left before the exam” said Momo.

“ Momo, how's your ultimate move coming?”Hagakure asks.

“ There's something I really wanna do, but my body just isn't ready yet. I need time to develop my court and improve my general endurance”she answers and sighs.

“(Might want to work on your phrasing there,Momo)”Bowsette thought.

“ How ‘bout you, Tsuue?”Hagakure asks.

“I've perfected a move that makes me even more frog-like than before. I'm sure even you’d look surprised,Toru”said Tsu.

“What's your story Ochaco?” she asked but notice that she wasn't paying attention it was just drinking a juice box.

Bowsette then poked her which made her yelp.

“ You seem a little tense”said Tsu.

“No, it's nothing. Everything's going awesome. I'm just getting started” she said which made all the girls stare at her.

“ At least, that's how I’d usually be. The thing is, recently my heart's been all stood up about something-”

“ It's love!”Ashido shouts which made her blush.

“ What did you say? Glove? Shove? Dove? Never seen one– what's that?” she asked, waving her hands frantically.

“So, who is it? Midoriya, Hendrix,or Iida?You're always hanging out with them”said Ashido.

“ That's not it, I swear!” she said activating her quirk which makes her float in the air.

“ She's floating”said Ashido.

“ Which one? Or someone else? Come on, spill”Hagakura shouts.

“ Yeah, out with it. You know we're not going to give up until we know”said Jiro.

“ I swear, it's no one! Besides, it's not like I even know anything about dating unlike Bowset-oops”said Uraraka.

“Bowsette has a boyfriend?”Ashido asks which made her spit out her water.

“What the heck,Ochaco?!”a blushing Bowsette shouts.

“So who is it? Bakugo?”Ashido asks, noticing her tail not moving at all.

“I know.It's Hendrix”said Jiro which made her tail move around.

“Whoa, no way”said Ashido.

“Seriously?”Jiro asks.

“Oh, wow, look at the time..Well good night” she said as she tried to run off but was quickly grabbed by the other girls with sinister gleams in their eyes which terrified her.

The next day…

They all got up and made their way to the bus. Izuku was talking to Elijah who was yawning but then they turned to see Bowsette who was tired as well.

“ What happened to you?”Izuku asks.

“I was interrogated.Eli-kun-”

“ Say less, you can sit with me-”

“No it's not that, the girls all know” she said.

“ What's that supposed… you spilled the beans, huh?”said Elijah.

“It was Uraraka”said Bowsette.

“Once we all pass this test, I'll have a word with her” said Elijah.

They all got on the bus which drove to a huge building.

“I'm getting kind of nervous”Jiro whined.

“I wonder what they're gonna make us do. Ugh,What if I can't get my license?”Mineta asks.

“Mineta, don't ask if you can. Say you will”said Aizawa.

“ Yeah, sure, I still got this” he said.

“ If you can pass this test and get your provisional licenses, then you novice eggs will hatch into chicks. You'll be semi-pros. I expect your best”said Aizawa.

“ I don't like the term chicken-” Elijah begins to say until you notice a guy bowing his head and crashing It to the ground.

“Who the heck is this..that uniform, they're from Shiketsu, the other school from the West of Japan” said Bowsette.

“I wanted to say it once, Plus Ultra! See, I really love U.A. High School. I am extremely honored to compete against such incredible students, I'm so looking forward to it” he said with blood coming down his head.
“Oy, you going to be okay?”Elijah asks.

As he and others walk away.

Aizawa explained the boy's name is Inasa Yorashi, noting that he was the same age as them and received the top scores for students admitted through recommendations but he turned down the one for UA.After that, the hero known as joke appeared along with some students.

“ Their second years from Ketsubutsu Academy. This is class 2, they're my students”said Joke.

One of the students grabs Izuku’s hands.

“ Hey, I'm Shindo! Seems like U.A.’s had a lot of trouble this year.Must’ve been tough for you”said the boy.

“Uh, yeah”said Izuku, nervously.

“ You're all still aiming to become Pro Heroes, despite those hardships. It's wonderful! Hearts full of fortitude.I believe that's what every hero in the world needs to have” he said gleaming while striking a pose.

“(He's too nice)”Izuku thought.

“(This Charming pretty boy’s gonna steal all our girls)”Kaminari thought.

“Bakugo and Hendrix, it must have been hard for both of you what with that whole kidnapping incident”said Shindo.

“Huh?” they both said in unison.

“And you both have an especially strong will, don't you?Today I'm going to do my best to learn from both of you, hope you guys don't mind” he said, putting his hand out.

“I don't do handshakes” said Elijah as Bakugo slapped the other one away.

“Stop pretending. What you say doesn't match the look in your eyes” said Bakugo.

“Guys!”said Kirshima

“It's fine”said Shindo.

They all got their hero costumes on but they're a group with a bunch of other students.

“ Look at this crowd”said Izuku.

“I’m totally gobsmacked”said Elijah.

“There's so many”said Uraraka.

They then all hear someone groan and turn to see a blonde man who seem to be tired on the stand.

“ Okay then. Let's do this exam thing. I'm from,uh, the heroes Public Safety Commission, name’s Mera.My circadian rhythm is so screwed up.Ah,man” he said introducing himself.

“(And I thought Mr.Aizawa look tired)” Elijah thought.

“ So, about the content of this license thing, basically,1,542 examine these compete in a free-for-all exercise or whatever we're calling it this year. See, we've got a lot of Pros around and since Stain was arrested, many people have expressed doubts about the status of heroes in society. What when you really think about it, getting paid makes sense. If you're going to risk your life to save someone, why shouldn't you ask for a reward, huh? That's just the way the world works. God, I could use a coffee. Anyway, whether they're in for compensation or out of a sense of Duty, we've got too many Heroes working together in the streets these days to keep villains at Bay. Honestly, the time between when an incident begins-”

“(How much longer is the speech going to be?Like how long is it going to take for him to get to that-)”

“ That's what we’ll be testing you on.The first hundred to fulfill the requirements will pass today”said Mero.

“(Meaning a good chunk of us aren't getting a our license)” Bowsette thought as he looked at Izuku and Elijah.

“Well, the world can be pretty crappy. I suppose I should say something about luck. So, anyway, here are the basic rules. The examinee will put three of these targets on his or her body. They can go anywhere you want as long as it's an exposed area.So no souls of the feet or armpits. Each of you will also have six of these balls, the targets are programmed to light up whenever they've been touched by the balls. If all three targets light up, you're out. Oh, and the person who lights up your third target will get credit for your defeat. You get through this round by taking down two people. Got it, good..What else? Um..I guess we'll start passing out the targets and balls.Then, you'll have a few minutes to get situated after we open”said Mero.

“ Did he say open?”Elijah asks.

At that moment, the roof of the facility open to reveal that they were in a huge Stadium with a fake City, a construction site, a couple of landmarks, and a highway.

“I'm sure each of you have different terrains that you like or want to avoid. Use your quirks well and do your best or not. Whatever”said Mero.

After a few minutes, the classes were all separated and we're given the go ahead.

“ Everyone! Stay close together. We’ll fight them as a group”said Izuku.

“Got it”said Iida with Uraraka and Bowsette agreeing as well.

“ Yeah, right. This isn't a field trip” said Bakugo as he walked away.

“Idiots.Wait up!” said Kirishima,following him.

“Kacchan!”said Izuku.

“Kirishima!”Iida shouts.

“I feel like we've been here before, have you been here before?”Elijah asks.

“I'm going on my own too.It's hard for me to use my power safely when a big group’s around” said Todoroki as he walked away.
“I feel like that's a bad idea”said Elijah.

“Maybe, but it's mine to make”said Todoroki.

“Midoriya, there's no time, let's go!”said Mineta as they all started running.

“Izuku, I get what you thought was a bad idea to run off. Everyone knows who we are, which means they know what powers we have” said Bowsette.

“They did research?”Uraraka asks.

“ I see. The sports festival!”said Iida.

“ Wonder why Mr…he knew,he effin knew. Mr.Aizawa is such a tosser”said Elijah.

“Maybe that's how he shows he cares.. by lying to us”said Bowsette.

“ The other schools have probably figured out the same way to win that I have. This is going to end up being a battle between schools. With that in mind, it's likely they’ll gang up against quirks they know”said Izuku.

“ Does that mean-”
“Don't tell me”said Jiro.

Just then they hear a horn blaring.

“ The first test will now begin”said the announcer.

They didn't see a bunch of students surrounding them.

“ I knew it”said Izuku.

“ I saw you on TV. That power of yours also destroys your body. Well, I can't say I'm above taking advantage of that”said Shindo as him and his classmates begin throwing the balls at them but then Izuku kicked one that was powerful enough to push them all away.
Elijah’s Spider Sense gave him the advantage of dodging every one of the balls which he worked up and threw back.

“Oh?”said Shindo.

“This is going to be fun”said Elijah.

Chapter 40: The Play

Chapter Text

The remainder of Class 1-A gathered in a circle back to back as the other students looked on. They didn't notice that blue skinned Cube student throw something towards the one in black with a red scarf grab them and proceeded to throw them into the ground, Elijah Spider Sense began to tingle noticing one and caught it while Jiro use her earphone jacks to plug into the devices on her arms and hit the ground causing it to break.Some of them are headed Meneta’s way most quickly forwarded by Ashido.

“(They're all holding back, waiting for an openin’, we see what most of them can do but not the bloke who likes to shake hands)” Elijah thought but then saw him bring his hands together.

“Maximum force! Tremoring Earth!” he shouts putting his hands on the ground causing tremor and everyone class 1a sink to the ground.

Elijah then got himself out of the ground only to see that he was separated from the others. His Spider Sense then goes off and he sees a student about the tag him but he easily Dodges out of the way and uses one of the balls that he has to hit the student.

“ Probably should have higher ground” said Elijah.

“ Huh? It's about time somebody perked up and passed, WHAA!! What?! There were 120 people taken down? A single person managed to do that in just one attack? That actually surprised me so much that I'm awake! I assume we’ll see a lot of people passing from now on. Everyone, let's get this out of the way so I can take a break Good? Good”said Mero.

“Someone is that powerful?” said Elijah.

His Spider Sense then begins to go Haywire as many other students surround him but he quickly web zips to a rock and then proceeded to see jump from rock to rock while also holding the ball and hitting a couple of students with it, eliminating most of them.

“ Okay, now some more students have just been eliminated, it's just as quick“Mero comments.

“I better find the others” said Elijah as he swings away while activating camouflage.
With Bowsette…

Bowsette found herself surrounded by a couple of students from other schools, she was able to dodge most of their attacks and hiding her shell.She then used her fire breath to send most of the balls the other way eliminating some of the students as well.She turns around and sees Elijah behind her.

“You almost gave me a heart attack” she said playfully punching him.

“My bad,Bow-chan, I know where Izuku any others are” said Elijah.

“Sure.Except one thing” she said with a smile.

“Sure what is it?” he asked but then saw a tail hit him he quickly recovers.

“Eli-kun never calls me Bow-chan” she said, aggressively.

“Well, you and Izuku how are the trick” said the fake as the skin begin to melt into this gray putty.

“I don't have time for this” she said and proceeded to get into a shell and and proceeded to fly away.

As she was flying at blinding speed, she then saw Izuku and the others and proceeded to fly down.

“You will not believe what just happened.Someone tried to pull one over on me and discussed himself says-”

“One of us?Yeah that happened to me too” said Izuku.

“Anyway, we should try to find the others before time runs out”said Bowsette.

Meanwhile with Elijah…

He made his way to the Anter room where he saw a bunch of other students who had finished. He looked around but didn't see any class 1-A students yet, as he kept looking he is approach by the guy from earlier in the day

“Wow! You're the first one from class 1-A to be here!”Yorashi shouts.
“Ri-”
“ Who is your favorite hero?!” he asks.

“ My uncle-”
“Prowler?! He was so cool! I love a hero who are super passionate! They put all of his passion into saving people and his music!” he shouts.

“ You listen to his music?”he asks.

“ A little bit!” he answers.

“(Well at least he's honest)” Elijah thought to himself.

He then walked away to go talk to somebody else,Elijah then walked towards the wall and waited there until a long white-haired girl wearing goggles with orange tints and a black catsuit with the zipper slightly down showing a bit of her chest,white fur on the arms and legs walked towards him.

“ Gotta say I like your costume” said the girl.

“ Thanks. You with-”
“ Ketsubutsu.I apologize for anything Shindo did”she said as she leaned against the wall.

“Names Spider-Punk or Elijah” he said while also leaning against the wall.

“ I do like choices” she purrs.

“ Uh,ahem. So,the Pretty Kitty got a name?” he asks.

“ My name is Kuro Neko, but for you it would be black cat and I just crossed your path” she said walking away, swaying her hips and giving him a look at her snow white tail.

“(Whoa..)” Elijah thought to himself.

“ What are you staring at Hendrix?”
He then turned around to see Todoroki.

“ Uhh,nothing. As much as I would like to talk I got to use the restroom” he said quickly walking away.

“(I wasn't flirting.I did nothing to feel guilty about…)” Elijah thought to himself.

Some other students started to show up from class 1-A. Eventually, Izuku and Bowsette showed up, Bowsette then noticed Elijah and went up to him.

“Looks like the three of us made it” said Bowsette, noticeably fidgeting.

“Oy,Bowsie,you alright?”Elijah asks.

“Well.. if everyone from our class makes it.. is it okay if I.. know you don't like-” she began to say I was cut off by him hugging her.

“Later.I'm glad you and Izuku passed”said Elijah.

After some time the alarm roared and it was announced the last students had passed.All of class 1-A passed.The next part turned out to be a rescue mission.

“(Hi there this is the author, yeah I'm going to skip this part since it's meh.)”

After the exam…

Most of them got their hero license except for Todoroki.As everyone celebrated in the living room, Elijah noticed Bakugo walk past Izuku who then had a horrified look on his face which made him concerned. Elijah then went to his room and texted him but then heard a knock at the door only to see Bowsette who then latches on to him and kisses him.

“ I wanted to do that at the exam but since we're alone-”
“ Actually Bowsie, I kind of needed to mph- he begins to say only to be silenced by another kiss.

“ Hey I got your text, you wanted to ta..”Izuku began to say only to see him on the ground with Bowsette on top of him which made her break the kiss.

“I-I-I didn't mean to interrupt anything, I'll come back-” he began to say only for Elijah to stop him from leaving.

“ What did the wanker tell you?”Elijah asks.

“ He said that we needed to talk about my quirk. I think he might know”said Izuku, which shocked both of them.

“This is bad” said Bowsette.

“If you need someone to-”
“Eli-kun,Bow-chan, I know we've always looked out for each other but… could you let me handle this alone?” he asks, surprising both of them.

“No way am I-”
“Bowsette, he wants to settle this himself, we should let him.This isn't like when we were kids”said Izuku.

“Thanks,Eli-kun”Izuku said as he walked out of the room.

“ Why didn't you try to stop him?”she asks.

“ We've always stepped in for when he was getting bullied and I've always had his back but at some point, he was going to have to confront him by himself. No Uraraka, not you, not me, and not Jackie”said Elijah.

“But what if he does something-”
“ That's the thing. Bakugo hasn't been acting like himself since the fight with one for all. I can tell something was eating him”said Elijah.

“Even still, All Might be told about this.They could seriously hurt each other”said Bowsette.

Hours later(After the fight between Izuku and Bakugo, after All Might’s speech)....

“ Okay, talk. Who knows about you two?”Bakugo asks.
“Recovery girl and principal Nezu. As far as students go, only you, young Hendrix and young Koopa”All Might answers.

“ Seriously?”Bakugo asks.

“They found out while I was training”Izuku answers.

“And you don't want this to get out. ‘Cause that would be bad. Don't worry, your secret's safe with me. I won't tell anyone what's going on, I'll talk to the other two as well. Unlike Deku, I can keep my mouth shut, this will stay between us”said Bakugo.

The next day…

“And that's basically what happened. For 3 days I'll be cleaning up in the dorms on house arrest”said Izuku.

“ Way to go,Izu-”Elijah begin to say until he sees Bowsette scowling at him.

“ I mean…nope,you can get mad at me all you want, I'm proud of him for getting in trouble”said Elijah.

“I can't believe you”Bowsette sighed.

She then got up and placed her backpack in his hand and walked away.

“ So-”
“ That's her settle way of saying” As punishment, carry my bag to school”She'll probably be quiet the entire way but it's the small price to pay” said Elijah.

But you didn't walk out of the room until they see Bakugo in front of them.

“I-”
“We'll talk when we get back from class” said Elijah as Bowsette scowled at him too.

“ Fine”said Bakugo as he walked away.

“(He didn't even yell or are you back…weird)”They both thought in unison.
End of chapter.

Chapter 41: Willow and Dabi

Notes:

Hey guys, I wanted to do a chapter on Dabi and Willow just to give you some information on her and their relationship.There will probably be some more chapters focused on them in the future but for now.

Chapter Text

Dabi woke with a stretch, his muscles tense from another restless night. Sliding out of bed, he moved to the window and pulled open the blinds. Sunlight flooded the room, earning a sharp hiss from the bed behind him.

“Koyomi, we’ve got a job to do. Time to get up,” Dabi said, his voice firm yet tinged with mild amusement.

A groan was his only reply. He sighed, walking over to her side of the bed. Kneeling down, he rested an elbow on the mattress and looked at her.

“Come on, you can’t stay in bed all day.”

“Wanna bet?” Koyomi muttered, her voice muffled by the pillow.

Dabi smirked. “Alright. But I guess that means you’ll miss out on the skull-shaped blueberry pancakes I’m about to make... not to mention a certain somebody’s favorite syrup—”

Before he could finish, her hand shot out and grabbed his wrist.

“You win,” she grumbled, rolling out of bed. “Get started on those pancakes while I get dressed.”

Completely unbothered by her own nudity, she strolled to the bathroom, leaving Dabi chuckling softly behind her.

The pair later made their way to an alley, Koyomi dressed in a sleeveless black goth-lolita dress, her fishnet gloves and parasol completing the look.

“This is going to be boring,” she whined, twirling her umbrella.

“After we recruit these guys, I’ll take you out to eat,” Dabi replied, his tone distracted as his eyes scanned their surroundings.

Up ahead, a group of thugs lounged against the alley wall. One of them straightened, eyeing the pair with disdain.

“Who the hell are you? Your face makes me want to puke,” the thug sneered.

Koyomi’s gaze flicked to Dabi. “Can I—”

“No,” Dabi said sharply.

Another thug stepped forward, glaring at them both. “Keep looking at me like that, and I’ll kill you!”

“And that goes for the weirdo in black, too,” added a third thug. “Nearest strip club’s that way.”

Dabi lifted his hand, flames flickering at his fingertips. “Pity. You’re not what we need.” With a snap of his fingers, blue flames engulfed the group.

Koyomi watched the flames with a small, private smile. He’s so cute when he’s mad, she thought.

“Stay down,” Dabi said coldly as the men writhed in the fire. “You’ll make good fuel. Let my flames consume you.”

A door creaked open further down the alley, and a female villain stumbled out, her face a mask of horror. She froze when she saw Dabi and Koyomi.

“Dabi, can I?” Koyomi asked, a faint hunger gleaming in her eyes.

“She’s with them. Go ahead,” Dabi replied.

Koyomi leaned in and kissed his cheek. “Thanks,” she whispered before launching herself at the woman. Her fangs gleamed as she sank them into her prey’s neck.

“Thank you for the meal,” Koyomi said softly, stepping back from the now-lifeless husk.

later at night...

Dabi and Koyomi sat on the edge of a rooftop, the city sprawling below them in a web of lights. She rested her head on his shoulder, her parasol discarded nearby.

“Koyomi,” Dabi said, his voice uncharacteristically soft. “The moon is beautiful tonight, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, it is…” Her voice trailed off as her eyes caught movement. Dabi was holding a small box. She gasped.

“You know I’m not good with words,” he began awkwardly, opening the box to reveal a simple but elegant ring. “So…what do you say?”

Tears welled in her eyes. “Dabi, you know I love you, but…I’m a monster. I can’t... It’s not you. It’s just—” Her voice cracked as the tears fell freely.

He pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. “This is about what he did to you, isn’t it?”

Koyomi froze.

“You know he can’t hurt you anymore,” Dabi murmured. “Do you remember what I told you after we killed him?”

A flashback(Koyomi’s perspective)...

“My name is Koyomi Hano. My quirk, Vampire Veil, is a combination of two legacies: the vampiric abilities I inherited from my mother and the shadow manipulation passed down from my biological father. Growing up, my parents always told me I was destined to be a great hero, just like my mother. But one day, everything fell apart. A villain named Venom—someone who sought revenge against my mother—tracked her down. He killed both my parents without mercy. For reasons I’ll never understand, he didn’t kill me. Instead, he revealed the horrifying truth: he was my biological father. And then he turned me into something far worse. The quirk my parents once celebrated as a gift became a weapon of destruction under his control. Venom kept me locked in a cage, forcing me to train under his twisted guidance. He taught me how to feed on people, how to wield powers I never knew I had. But whenever I resisted or tried to fight back, he’d punish me—dragging me into the sunlight to burn, to suffer. I thought that life would be my eternity, that I’d never escape his cruelty. But then…he showed up.”

The dimly lit, abandoned warehouse is shrouded in darkness, illuminated only by the eerie flicker of a single, broken fluorescent light. The atmosphere is thick with an oppressive silence, broken only by the occasional drip of water from a leaky pipe. In the center of the room, a large, rusted cage holds a girl, her face pale and eyes wide with terror. Her clothes are tattered, and her wrists are chafed from the chains binding her.

In the shadows outside the cage, Venom, the hulking symbiotic monstrosity, prowls with predatory intent. His eyes glint with malevolent amusement as he looms closer, his tendrils snaking around the cage.

“Won't say it again, get out of the cage or else-”

She shudders as suddenly, a burst of blue flames ignites at the entrance, illuminating the space with a fierce, fiery glow. Dabi strides in, his presence commanding and intimidating.

“Well, well, what do we have here? A little bird trapped in a cage with a monster”he smirks.

Venom hisses in frustration, his tendrils snapping toward Dabi, but the flames dance around him, warding off the symbiote’s assault. Dabi's confident stride and the intense heat of his flames force Venom to retreat momentarily.

“Hey, he's probably going to come back.I can use any information you have on it” he said but notice the fear and the girl's eyes which irritates him.
He then brings her out of the cage as stairs directly into her eyes.

“You’ve got a choice to make. Either stay here and become Venom’s plaything, or take my hand and escape this hellhole”he shouts.

The girl’s eyes widened as she looked up at Dabi while noticing his blue flames around them had an almost otherworldly glow on his features. There’s something mesmerizing about his presence, despite the chaos he’s bringing. She blinks rapidly, trying to process the situation.

“Who—who are you? Why should I trust you?”she asks, timidly.

“The name’s Dabi. And unlike Venom here, I’m offering you a way out. Trust me, you don’t want to stay. I can get you out of this nightmare. But you have to come with me”said Dabi.

Venom roars angrily, his form shifting and pulsating as he tries to break free from Dabi’s flames.Koyomi watched with a mix of fear and hope in her eyes. She hesitates, glancing back at Venom and then at Dabi.

“Let's get something straight.I’m not here to be your savior. I’m offering you a choice to fight back, to be more than a victim. There’s power and purpose waiting for you, but you have to make the decision to seize it. I can give you a place where you can be strong and free, but you have to leave this behind”said Dabi.

“And what happens if I join you? What’s in it for me?” Koyomi asked, still hesitant.

“Freedom. Power. Revenge. You’ll be under my protection and in control of your own fate. I know what it’s like to feel trapped, to want something more. I can offer you a chance to change the rules of your game”said Dabi.

Koyomi took a deep breath, her eyes searched Dabi’s face. There’s a raw vulnerability in his gaze that pulled at her, mingling with the desperation and hope she feels.

“Alright... I’ll come with you. But... I need to know who you really are”said Koyomi.

As she steps out of the cage, Dabi’s expression softened ever so slightly, though his smirk remains. He pulls her closer, the flames around him casting a warm, protective aura.

They turn to leave, Dabi guiding her through the warehouse as Venom roars impotently behind them but is silenced by her running at him and bit him. Koyomi glances up at Dabi, feeling a surge of conflicting emotions. The fear and confusion are still there, but they are now tempered with a growing sense of trust and admiration.

Flashback over…

“ I told you all that and now look at you, you know monster, especially not to me” said Dabi.

She then leans and kisses him on the lips and in a tearful smile.

“ Then in that case…I will marry you” she said repeatedly kissing his lips.

End of chapter.

Chapter 42: Relationships,Big Three,and Bad luck On The Horizon

Notes:

Sorry for the wait but here's chapter 42,enjoy

Chapter Text

Elijah was playing on his guitar along with Jiro. They were playing like this for a while until Jiro stared at him.

“ What's up?” he asks.

“Just to be sure again, Koopa is okay with you being in here with me?” she asks.

“You are literally there when I ask”said Elijah.

Flashback to two days ago…

While Iida was directing everyone in line,Elijah was walking next to Jiro and Bowsette.

“ Man needs to chill. That reminds me, Kyoka,when are we ever gonna play somethin?”Elijah asks.

“We keep saying we're going to but then stuff happens-”
“I heard a little rumor about class 1–”Monoma begins to say but is silenced by Elijah webbing his mouth.

“Oops, my hand slipped. My bad,lad. Let me just get that off”said Elijah, deadpanned.

Elijah then zapped him was made him fall unconscious and he took the web off of his mouth.

“ Oh no, looks like he's out for the count” said Elijah.

“ Yeah he was just fine a minute ago, weird”Kaminari plays along.

“ I bet he probably failed just like last time”said Karshima.

“Actually everyone in our class passed”

They all look to see Kendo along with other students from her class.

“ I believe this belongs to you” said Elijah as he hands him over to her.

“ According to teacher Vlad, we’ll have classes together this semester. Doesn't that sound like it'll be fun? I'm looking forward to it” said a blonde haired girl with horns.

“Hey, isn't she that Exchange student?”Kaminari asks.

“I thought there was two others were coming from a different schools”said Bowsette.

“At this point? Bloody hell.Hopefully they don't end up on our class” said Elijah.

“I hope it's a girl”said Kaminari.

“Anyway, you free after class?”Elijah asks.

“Sure but what about-”
“Bowsie, will it be okay if Kyoka and I played somethin together?”Elijah asks.

“Huh? Oh, yeah, sure, go ahead”she answers.

“Are you sure?”Jiro asks.

“ Yeah, it's fine”said Bowsette.

End of flashback..

“ Just find it hard to believe she'd be okay with you being in a room with another girl”said Jiro.

“ It means that she trusts you as a friend and knows he won't make a move on her boyfriend”said Elijah.

“ I didn't think of it like that. I don't feel so nervous”said Jiro.

“A’ight, let's get back to it.Wanted to try this new song I've been thinking about” said Elijah.

“So, you weren't surprised by Bakugo and Midoriya getting into a fight? Jiro asks.

“Nah. Hell, I'm probably next. He's been wanting to run my fade for a while.See me versus Bakugo is the same as Mineta being a perv to the girls, it's inevitable” he said which made her laugh.

“So who would win?”she asks.

“Me”he answers while playing on his guitar as she joins along.

Meanwhile with Bowsette…

“What was I thinking?!”Bowsette shouts.

She was currently in her dorm room with Uraraka.

“I mean it's fine right? It's Jiro”said Uraraka.

“ And that's the problem.Eli-kun is a rocker and she's also a rocker, it's as obvious as what happens when you’re rubbing two sticks together”said Bowsette.

“I'm sure she doesn't have feelings for Hendrix-kun.The two are probably just good friends having me and him are friends and you don't have an issue with that” said Uraraka.

“ You're right. I'm freaking out for nothing,Not like there's another girl after him” said Bowsette.

Later in the evening…

Elijah was taking a walk outside the dorms when he sees Hakeem talking to someone and walks over.

“ Hey”said Elijah, getting his attention.

“ Oh, hey you might want to-” he begins to say but then an attractive girl with long periwinkle hair twisting around her waist and reaching all the way to her knees step in front of him.

“ Who is this him?”she asks.

“Yes, Nejire. That's my cous-”
“Nice to meet you, I'm Nejire Hado, a third year student. You have a lot of piercings, are they part of your quirk? Did you dye your hair? Are you some kind of delinquent?You also have an accent, are you from a different country?”she asks, getting up close.

“No they're not part of my quirk, no I didn't dye my hair, part of my hair became lavender over time,I consider myself more of a misfit than a delinquent, and yes, I'm from the UK”said Elijah.

“ You answered all of her questions in record time” said Hakeem.

“ So cool. I want to know so much but I also want to thank you too”said Nejire.

“Thank me for what?” he asks noticing the bashful look on Hakeem’s face.

“ Soo, remember on the plane ride to I-island that a friend confessed to me…she's my girlfriend”said Hakeem, rubbing the back of his head.

“ And he's my boyfriend thanks to you”said Nejire, hugging his free arm.

“Ahh”said Elijah.

“ When I told her about what happened you kind of came up. I was just telling her not to bring it up in your class but well here you are”said Hakeem.

“ Well,I'm happy for you”said Elijah.

“Well as much as I'd like to catch up, we were just about to go back to our dorm”said Hakeem.

“See you tomorrow”said Neijire as she waved goodbye and walked alongside him.

“(Tomorrow?)”Elijah thought to himself.

Elijah then went back to the dorms or he saw Bakugo and Bowsette staring at each other but then looked at him.

“ Guess we're having that conversation now, let's go to my room”said Elijah.

Minutes later…

Three were sitting in the room to absolute silence until Elijah coughs.

“So, you now know his secret”said Elijah.

“That's right”said Bakugo.

“So what now?” Elijah asks.

“How did you two find out?” Bakugo asks.

“We happened to stroll the beach and saw All Might with him then deflate at that moment”said Bowsette.

“You've got to be freakin’ kidding me”said Bakugo.

“Nope, that's how we found out, they explained everything and we said we’d keep it a secret.Izuku wanted tell you after the first time you two went at it but I stopped him”said Elijah.

“Typical Deku”said Bakugo as got up to leave.

“ That was it?”Bowsette asks.

“What of it” he said as he opened the door and slammed it closed.

“Can never understand what's going through his head”said Bowsette.

“Well since you're here, want to play a game or watch a movie?” he asks.

“ Actually I wanted to talk about...our relationship”said Bowsette.

“Is this about me hanging out with Jiro earlier?”he asks.

“Well, it's just…you two have a lot in common and we practically already know each other. I-i'm just afraid that…you may get bored and not want to be with me”said Bowsette.

“ Bowsie, can I squeeze your boobs?” he asks, earning an irritated look in response.

“My boobs”said Bowsette.

“ Yep” he responds.

“ What the hell?” she asks.

“ Let me squeeze your boobs,Bowsie”said Elijah.

“For someone really smart, you say the dumbest shit at times”said Bowsette.

“ Do i?”he asks.

“ Why would I let you squeeze my boobs when there's a window in your room?” she asks.

“ I'm sure you'll let me squeeze them if I ask enough”said Elijah.
“ N-no I wouldn't!” she shouts.

“ Are you sure? You tend to buckle-”
“ I'm not that easy-”
“ I know you aren't. but am I the only one holding back?Aren't you also?”Elijah asks which made her blush and turn away.

“ I'm not really..” said Bowsette but turned around to see him with his arms open.

“ Come here”said Elijah.

She hesitantly walked over.

“But in return, let me squeeze your boobs a little”said Elijah.

“ Wh-what the hell?!”said Bowsette.

“Are you telling me to hold back while you run free?”he asks.

“I'm not really holding-” she began to say but then saw him come closer with his arms out.

“Close to closing my arms”Elijah teased as she then rushed in and hugged in.

“(Goddammit!)”She thought to herself.

“See, you were holding back”said Elijah.

“ It's your fault for tempting me”said Bowsette.

“So can I squeeze your boobs, then?” he asks.

“ D-Do whatever you want!”said Bowsette.

“Maybe another time”said Elijah.
“ Then why did you-”
“ I wanted to know how much you were holding back”said Elijah.

“Wh-What? You say that like I'm the only one being needy”said Bowsette.

“Bowsette, you don't have to hold back with me. If you don't want me hanging out with other girls just say so. Also, I would never get bored with you and break up with you”said Elijah but noticed her cheeks were red.

“What? Were you expecting something?” he asks which made her face turn completely red.

“ N-no it's just you really call me by my full name” said Bowsette pushing her fingers together.

“(Just not calling her name)Bowsette”said Elijah.

“Don't say my name like that,less you need something chill on that”said Bowsette.

“(Maybe just one more time)Bowsette”said Elijah.

“Stop and don't look at my face for a sec, please?” she said, turning away.

“No need to be embarrassed”said Elijah as he hugged her from behind.

“ Just…call me my full name when we're alone”she said in a low voice.

“ Okay then”said Elijah.

The next day…

The two began to walk to school when they see Izuku behind them.

“ Well our trouble friend is finally off house arrest. How's it feel to be a free man?”Elijah asks.

“You make it sound like he actually got arrested”said Bowsette.

“I'm sorry I disappointed you guys” he said bowing as steam came from his nose.

“ I'm not-” Elijah began to say only to be elbowed in the ribs by Bowsette.

“Just try not to get in trouble again.We've got to Eli-kun”said Bowsette.

The three then walked the class together but as they took their seats,Izuku was bowing and apologizing to everyone in class.

“I'll catch up with everything I felt behind these past 3 days!”Izuku shouts.

“That's the fightin’ spirit! Do it, man!”Kirishima shouts.

“(Being on house arrest makes Izuku a dull boy)”Elijah thought to himself.

Aizawa then walks in which made everyone go to their seats.

“Morning, now that Midoriya is back, we'll go into more detail about what the work-studies entail”said Aizawa.

Elijah then raised his hand.

“No, Hendrix, you will not be getting paid for this”said Aizawa, which made him lower his hand.

“(We should)” Elijah thought to himself.

“Go ahead and come in”said Aizawa.

Just then three students walk in, one was a blonde haired young man with blue eyes, in the middle was Neijire, and the third was a black haired young man with pointy ears who looked like he didn't want to be here.

“I'll have people who experienced them first hand explain. I suggest you listen carefully as they point out how work studies differ from internships.These three are third years at U.A.They rank at the very top of our student body, you may know them as The Big Three”said Aizawa.

“(Hakeem's girlfriend is one of the big three?!)” Elijah thought to himself.

Meanwhile at Ketsubutsu academy…

“Well you'll transfer into class 1-A tomorrow,ms.Han” so the principal to a white haired young lady with blue eyes and a cat's tail.

“ I'm so happy for you, Ferisha”said Joke.

“(Class 1A,huh? purrfect)” she thought to herself.

End of chapter.

Chapter 43: The Big Three And The Transfer Students

Notes:

Chapter 43, couple of things. This version of black cat is the daughter of another Marvel hero and will be a somewhat rival to Bowsette while Luna snow will just be a friend.

Chapter Text

Everyone was mesmerized by The Big Three.

“Oh,wow!”Ashido shouts.

“(Izuku talked about them but to think that..wait it's the guy..)”

Small flashback…

Izuku,Bowsette,and Elijah we're watching the sports festival race together at his place.

“ So who are you guys moving for?”Izuku asks.

“ Don't know yet”Bowsette answers.

“Blondie looks like he'll be fast”said Elijah.

The race starts but the three gasp when they see him completely naked and struggling to put on his pants.

“Huh?”said Izuku as Elijah covered Bowsette's eyes.

“Why was he naked?”Bowsette asks.

“Just be glad he wasn't facing the other way”said Elijah,nervously.

Back to the present time..

“(Hard to believe this flasher is one of the big three, I wonder if the other two-)” Elijah thought to himself but then look to see a wide-eyed Izuku to the left and a blushing Bowsette to the right.

“Get to it. Introduce yourselves briefly, let's start with Amajiki”said Aizawa.

He then gave them an intense stare that shook half the class.
“It's no good..You too go. I just can't. Even if I try to imagine them as potatoes, I can see their human bodies. I know that they're still people. No words are coming outMy mind's blank and my mouth is dry” he said, trembling.

“Uhh” said most of class 1-A.

“ I can't say anything. I wanna…go home” he said turning away from them.

“ Can he not handle crowds?” Elijah asks.

“Come on,Amajiki! You need to have the heart of a lion, not a kitten. You know, even though you're human. Get what I mean? This is our kitten,Tamaki Amajiki and hi, my name is Nejire Hado. I'm supposed to talk about work-studies. You first-years have a really exciting time ahead of you”said Nejire.

“(She's different than before, maybe-)”

“ Hey, wait, hold on. Why are you wearing a mask? Is it ‘cause you're feeling sick? Or just…trying to look cool” she asks, getting close to Mezo.

“(I spoke too soon)” Elijah thought and she started to ask a bunch of questions to the class.

“Oh, goodness! There's so much I want to know about every one of you, let's have a Q&A!”said Nejire.

“(Is she like this with Hakeem?)”Elijah thought to himself but then notice the scary look on Aizawa’s face.

“ There's no need to worry, Eraser Head. I'm up next and I'll get the audience refocused” said the blonde hair student.

He then went to the podium and put his hand on his ear.

“ The future's gonna be..” he said.

“Gonna be what?”Kaminari asks.

“Awful! That's your part, guys! Oh, crap. My call and response was a total fail” he said then followed It up by laughing.

“Still better than a certain teacher”said Elijah.

“Okay, you guys look like you have no idea what's going on. I guess we are third years who just showed up in your classroom to explain a program that’s completely voluntary. I can see how you'd be confused by that.Hmm.. you guys got your provisional licenses as first years, right? Huh! This batch of new students have proven to be pretty darn energetic, so the problem is, you must not have a sense of humor. That's why my joke didn't land” he said.

“I don't believe in comedy”said Elijah, which made everybody look at him.

“ I was only kidding”said Elijah.

“Heads-up, the red new plan is all you first-years fight me at once” he said with his fist in the air.

“Huh? Huh?” everyone in class said.

Minutes later and gym a..

Class 1-A or all in their tracksuits as was the blonde haired young man.

“ I know he suggested it but-”
“ Somethin’ bout facing him all together for you wrong”said Elijah.

“Mirio, you're impossible. It would have been simple enough for us just to tell them” this is what it's like, here's what we learned from it.” not everyone has your level of drive. Plus, think about it. What if some of them can't recover after fighting you? No one wants to spend the next few years in a hospital bed” said Tamaki.

“(Ominous.Izuku’s probably trying to figure out what is quirk is…It has to be some kind of-)”

“ Hey, listen up. It's story time. Long ago, A student got frustrated in class and quit being a hero, and it was terrible for everyone. Did you know that? So, Togata, I know our job is tough. but you better make sure you know what you're doing, be careful, okay?”Nejire said while playing with Ashido’s antennas.

“ Let's think about this. You're obviously much further ahead than us but we've fought Pros before”said Tokoyami.
“ Not to mention, we took down some legitimate villains. I don't think you need to worry about hurting us. We're not a bunch of wannabes” said Kirishima.

“Mm! Heard, but you're gonna have to show me that's the truth.Now, who's gonna start this party?” he asks.

“I've got this-
“No.I’m first”said Izuku.

“My boy!”Elijah shouts.

“Go, Izuku!”Bowsette shouts as well.

“Heads-up, he's fast.This will be a good lesson”said Aizawa.

Izuku then charges at him along with some of the others but then are taken back when some of his clothes come off.Most of the girls blush and look away while the guys were freaked out.

“ Again?!”Elijah shouts.

“Kyahhh!!”Bowsette shouts turning red and covering her eyes along with Jiro and Momo.

“Why did your clothes just fall off?” Sero asks.

“Oopsy! My quirk’s kinda tricky”said Mirio as puts his pants on.

Izuku try to land a hit but it went right through him to the shock of everyone.

“ Went for the face, huh?”Mirio said but then was followed by which other attacks in the class that went through him as well as smoke appeared.

It clearly revealed that he was no longer in that spot. He then up here behind Jiro once again completely naked which made her blush and freak out.

“(Is he able to go through matter?)”Elijah thought but then quickly took notice of how easily he took out Tokoyami,Sero,Mineta,as well as others.

Elijah’s Spider Sense then goes off and sees that he's behind him and quickly moves out of the way sticking to a wall.

“He just took out half the bloody class” said Elijah.

“Think that does it for the long-distance Fighters, all that's left are the ones who specialize in close quarters combat”said Mirio.

“(Okay, let's think about this.He's able to face three things but it's also more than that. He's also quick, webbing him is out of the option so that I'd have to do is wait till he solid and hit with the Venom strike)” Elijah thought.

“There's more to his quirk than we're seeing. Whether his true power is slipping through matter or whether he's somehow or bringing himself through space, either way, he still landing his attacks directly. We should be able to counter him the moment he's about to make contact. Even if we can't tell what he's doing,We should theorize with what we do now and use that knowledge to find a way to beat him”said Izuku.

“Yeah, you said it. House arrest didn't put a dent in your fightin’ spirit”said Kirishima.

“Then see if you can figure out how to win”Mirio said as he ran towards them.

As he got closer he then faced through the ground, he then appeared behind izuku but he saw this coming and attempted to kick him but Mirio was able to faze through his feet into his head but then switched and punched him into the air, taking him out of the fight.

“Midoriya”said Iida who was also taken out.

“Damn!”said Kirishima who is also taken out with a punch to the gut along with Oraraka,Toru, and Bowsette who tried to use her fire breath but he faced through and landed a punch that knocked her out. He then took out the rest of the class only leaving Elijah.

“ You're one of the ones that got taken hostage”said Mirio.

Elijah cracked his knuckles and rushed at him only for him to faze through the floor, he then came behind him but due to his Spider Sense, Elijah already charged up his Venom strike.Just as it looks like he was about to win, a face through it and slammed Elijah to the ground and punch in the stomached.

“POWER!!”Mirio shouts.

“(Why.. was I… the only one… he.. hit.. with a combo?…)” Elijah thought in pain.

Minutes later…

“ I tried to make it so you wouldn't see my willy.Sorry if you got a peek. But, anyway, that's a taste of what it's like to fight me”said Mirio as the entire class held their stomachs in pain.

“We all just got punched in the stomach without ever knowing what was going on” said Izuku.

“ Why did I get slammed and punched?”Elijah asks.

“ Right, so, whaddaya think? Isn't my quirk?” he asks.

“I feel an explanation is needed”said Elijah as the others complained.

He explained that his quirk was called” Permeation” and what everyone thought was him warping turned out to be quite the opposite. He then explained that he activates his ability to his entire body and passes through anything he wants, including solid ground.Wherever he deactivates it, he is sent up words due to physics. He then explained that he made his ability that way and left the class with a lot to think on after he explained the work study and how they're treated as sidekicks or a pros.

Hours later…

“Hey! If you got trash then bring it over here right now!”Bakugo shouts.

Kirishima, Tokoyami, along with some of the others brought their garbage onto him.

“ Thanks for taking care of this”said Elijah with a medium garbage bag.
“ You bastards, it's like you've been hoarding this for weeks!” he shouts.

“ So I know you guys are tired of me asking but I'll say it again…why was I the only one slammed and punched?!”Elijah shouts.

“I don't know, man. Maybe because you have three”said Kirishima.

“Maybe because you have a girlfriend, you traitor”said Mineta.

“Okay, those are some… how did you know that?”Elijah asks.

“Uhh, look at the time I got-”said Mineta who tries to walk away only we grab on the shoulder by Elijah who had a terrifying aura around him.

“ Mineta…” said Elijah with a grin that terrified him.

“ Okay,Kaminari told me!” he shouts.

“ I only found out because of Sero!” he retorts.

“ Well I only found out because I overheard Jiro and Yaoyorozu talking about it” he said, pointing a finger at the both of them.

“ We're sorry, but it's not like anyone knows it's Koopa,opps”said Momo.

Some of the boys then stared at Elijah who then turned invisible and ran off.

“ Let's find him and interrogate him!”Mineta shouts, with some of the other boys agreeing.

“(Gotta get outside and quick)”Elijah thought to himself.

He then jumped off the wall and made his way to the front door and quickly close it after him.

“ Did that door just open and close on its own?”
“Hendrix, reveal yourself”

Elijah recognized the voices Mr.Aizawa and made himself visible and turn to him to see two girls with one of them he recognized but the other one had one side of her short hair black with the other side being white, when I being Brown and the other way being blue and noticeably both were wearing U.A. uniforms.

“ Showed up just in time” said Elijah.

Aizawa was a bit confused along with the two girls. They then walked in but Elijah walking behind them. They open the door getting the attention of everyone who lined up including the boys who saw Elijah hiding behind the three.

“ Listen up, we have two new transfer students who will be joining our class as of today. Go ahead and introduce yourselves” said Aizawa.

“My name is Seol Hee, my hero name is Luna Snow, nice to meet you” she said cheerfully.

“Ferisha Han but my hero name is Kuro Neko” she said, winking which made the boys blush.

“ Two gorgeous girls”said Mineta and Kaminari in unison.

“Since he volunteered, Hendrix will help you too with your luggage”said Aizawa, making the boys scowl at him.

“As if I wasn't enough trouble”said Elijah.

“But I figured you would like trouble” said Ferisha, placing her hands on his shoulders, earning a gasp from the class.

Elijah then cautiously turns to see a shocked Bowsette.

“Anyway, let's get these two settled in(Well, things just got worse)” Elijah nervously chuckles.

End of chapter.

Chapter 44: Ferisha Han and Seol Hee

Notes:

Hey guys I'm back. Sorry this chapter is a little small but I wanted to introduce this version of black cat and Luna snow. These two are a bit different from the 616 versions of them.,Especially Luna snow

Chapter Text

The day after the two settled in, They took their seats in class. Aizawa explain the internships to the class and after they went on their way.

“ So, any idea on where you're doing your work study,Eli-kun?”Bowsette asks.

“The same agency I went to last time. What bout you?” he asks.

“I think i’m gonna go somewhere different”she asks.

“You gon’ tell me”Elijah asks.

“It’s a secret”she said with a toothy grin.

Elijah smiles.

“Hey si-”
“Hey spider”
He turns to see Ferisha Han who wraps an arm around him to his surprise.

“F-Ferisha,hi”said Elijah.

“Ferisha,wait up”

He looks to see Seol running towards them.

Elijah then cautiously looks behind him and sees an angry Bowsette.

“Eli-ku-”
“(Oh no,)Uhh,was there something you needed?”he asks as he quickly slipped away from her and moved over to Bowsette.

“Well, since we're new in town.I was hoping you could show us around this weekend”said Ferisha.
“But couldn't we as-”
“But you also wanted to ask him about his music so this’ll be killing two birds with one stone.What do you say, here to show the kitty around town?”she asks.

Bowsette then wraps her arms around his and stares at her.

“We would be happy to show you around,tomorrow”said Bowsette.

“ We are?”he asks.
“ We are”Bowsette answers.

“ Lucky us. I'll meet you here in the morning”said Ferisha.

Ferisha and Seol walk away with Ferisha winking at Elijah which irritates Bowsette.

“B-bow-”
“ Don't talk to-”
“ Bowsette, I'm sorry” said Elijah.

She whimpers, looks around, and kisses him.

“You're forgiven”said Bowsette.

The next day…

Elijah and Bowsette were giving Ferisha and Seol around, they took him to an arcade, a mall, and finally went to a cafe.

“ Well that was fun. By the way, Hendrix.I really enjoyed your song at the festival. I was watching on TV and thought it was really good”said Seol.

“ Thanks”said Elijah.

“Chance will hear you play again?”she asks.

“ If the opportunity comes up” he answers.

“ Also Koopa, I hope really Amazed by how you won”said Seol.

“ Well, it wasn't an all out win” she said, bashfully and scratching the back of her head.

“ What about you two?”Elijah asks.

“Well, I'm 36 on top, 24, 36, and I'm a Capricorn” said Ferisha which caused Elijah to almost spit out his drink.

“Ferisha!!”Seol shouts,blushing.

“Guess that's not what you meant. Alright my mother's Korean and my father is Japanese, my quirk is Bad luck. It gives me the ability to cause bad luck for others”she explains.

“My light and dark ice quirk, I can use light ice for healing and dark ice for destruction”Seol explains.

“You and Todoroki will get along”said Bowsette.

“O-oh, Endeavor’s son” she said, nervously.

“ You might as well tell them,Seol”said Ferisha.

“(Sighs) Shoto Todoroki is actually my cousin” she confesses.

“ Whoa”said a wide-eyed Elijah.

“Where did he didn't recognize you-”
“ That's because he doesn't know. You see…I was adopted by the Hee family. I didn't find out we related until Junior High” she confesses.

“ What about your parents?”Bowsette asks, cautiously.

“ I've only ever met my mother but I haven't met my biological father yet.Speaking of what, I got to go visit her, I'll catch you guys later” said Seol.

She leave some money and walks out of the cafe.

“ Her mother is in prison. It's hard for her to talk about but yeah”said Ferisha.

“ You seem to know a lot bout her”said Elijah.

“We've been friends for quite some time. Her actual mother and mine used to be friends but that's a different story. I’ve been meaning to ask, are you two seeing each other?”Ferisha asks.

Bowsette then wraps her arms around his.

“ We are”said Bowsette, aggressively.

“ Easy, princess. Who says I'm going after him..” she said.

She then walked over and placed a hand on Bowsette’s chin.

“Maybe I'm coming after you”she smirks while looking her lips.

This made both Elijah and Bowsette turn red which makes her laugh.

“ I think that's enough fun for one day. See you two back at U.A” she said, winking at both of them.

The two then sat there completely Frozen, not sure what to make of the situation that just happened.

“ Is she-”
“ I believe she is”said Elijah.

With Ferisha…

“ Those two are too adorable, it's going to be fun messing with them”said Ferisha.

Chapter 45: Shei Hassaikai Arc:Peach and Baiken

Chapter Text

In Izuku's Room....

The group sat together in Izuku’s room. He was explaining how he met All Might’s former sidekick, Sir Nighteye, while Bowsette and Elijah recounted their own experiences.

“Wait, you said her last name was Han?” Izuku asked suddenly, his face lighting up with recognition.

“Yeah, why?” Elijah asked, raising an eyebrow.

“No way! Why didn’t I realize this earlier? The white hair, the tail…Her mother is White Fox!” Izuku exclaimed.

“White Fox?” Bowsette tilted her head. “Oh, isn’t she the Number 7 Pro Hero?”

Elijah frowned, deep in thought. *(Wonder why she didn’t mention that?)* he thought to himself.

“Well, I’m glad you found an agency for your work study,” Bowsette said with a warm smile.

“Not surprising for either of you, but your mate actually got a big offer,” Elijah teased, grinning.

“You got an offer?!” Bowsette and Izuku exclaimed in disbelief.

“Yep. From one of the most badass heroes ever... Baiken,” Elijah said, his grin widening.

Both Bowsette and Izuku froze, their faces paling.

“B-B-Baiken?! She’s almost as bad as Bakugo!” Bowsette stammered.

“She’s not even nice to her fans!” Izuku added, his voice shaking slightly.

Elijah waved them off dismissively. “Come on, she won’t be that bad. And if she’s like Bakugo, I can handle her no problem. That said… I’ll be in Kyushu for a while.”

“WHAT?!” they both shouted in unison.

“Yeah, sorry to spring this on you, but I already talked to Mr. Aizawa about it. Everything’s been handled,” Elijah explained.

“But we won’t see you for a while,” Bowsette said, her voice tinged with sadness.

Elijah walked over and hugged her tightly. “I promise to call when I can.”

“You better. I’m going to see you off, of course,” Bowsette replied firmly.

“I’m leaving in the morning,” Elijah said softly.

“I’ll be there,” Bowsette said with determination. She kissed him on the cheek before walking out of the room.

Elijah turned to Izuku. “Izuku, watch over my girl while I’m gone.”

“Of course,” Izuku replied without hesitation.

The Next Morning....

Elijah stepped out of his dorm, suitcase in hand, to find Bowsette waiting for him outside.

“Don’t tell anyone, but I’m leaving a spare key,” he whispered with a smirk.

She rolled her eyes, but they both chuckled as they headed downstairs. At the entrance, they found Mr. Aizawa and Tokoyami waiting for him.

“I’ll bring you something back, love,” Elijah said, giving Bowsette a soft smile.

She nodded, and he leaned in to kiss her cheek before walking out with Mr. Aizawa and Tokoyami.

*(From this point on, the story will focus on Bowsette.)*

Bowsette arrived at her work-study agency, a pink building resembling a small castle. She stepped inside and was greeted by a short man with a mushroom-shaped hat.

“I’m here to see Miss Peach,” she said politely.

“You must be here for your work study, like that other girl. Follow me,” the man said, leading her deeper into the building.

Soon, Bowsette found herself in a grand room. A woman with long blonde hair, wearing a pink and white jumpsuit and a crown, stood at the center. Beside her was a familiar face—Jackie.

“Jackie?” Bowsette asked, surprised.

“Bowsette? You’re here for your work study? Aww, this is going to be so much fun!” Jackie squealed, running over to hug her.

“So you two know each other? That’s wonderful,” Peach said with a kind smile.

“I look forward to working with you, ma’am,” Bowsette said, bowing slightly.

On Patrol....

Minutes later, Bowsette and Jackie were on patrol, walking through the area assigned to their agency.

“So, why did you choose this agency?” Jackie asked curiously.

“I wanted to try something different,” Bowsette replied with a shrug.

“Ahhh, makes sense. Well, if you ever need help, just ask. By the way, where’s Izuku and Eli-kun—” Jackie paused, noticing the shadow crossing Bowsette’s face.

“Izuku’s working with All Might’s old sidekick, Nighteye. And Eli-kun is in Kyushu, working with Baiken,” Bowsette explained quietly.

Jackie gave her a reassuring smile. “I can see why you’re a bit down… but I’m sure Elijah will be fine. He can handle anything.”

After finishing their patrol, the two returned to their dorms.

Later that evening, Bowsette was lying on her bed when her phone buzzed. Seeing Elijah’s name, she quickly answered.

“Hey, Bowsie,” Elijah’s voice came through, warm and familiar.

“Hey. So, how was your first day in Kyushu?” she asked.

“Not bad. Baiken’s actually pretty cool to work for. What about you, luv?”

“It’s been fine. I’m working at the same agency as Jackie,” Bowsette replied.

“Both of you in the same place? That’s brilliant,” Elijah said, chuckling.

“It’s not too bad. We just went on patrol today. Nothing exciting happened,” Bowsette said casually.

“See, because you said that, now something *is* going to happen,” Elijah teased. “Anyway, I’ve got to go. Just wanted to check in.”

“Okay. Call me tomorrow?”

“Will do,” Elijah promised.

As the call ended, Bowsette held her phone to her chest, a small smile on her face. Little did she know, tomorrow would bring more challenges than she expected.

Chapter 46: Shie Hassaikai Arc:Unpleasant Talk

Chapter Text

Bowsette was asked to come in but not in her costume, she then sees Uraraka and Tsyui and walks with them. They're also joined by Izuku and Kirishima. They all walk to the station together and turns out they were all headed the same way.

On the train…

“This is kinda weird”said Izuku.

“I think we’re all going to the same place,Izuku”said Bowsette,nervously.

“No way”said Kirishima.

“Want to make a bet?”Bowsette asks.

“3,050 yen if your right”said Kirishima.

Few minutes later…

They saw that the big three were also there along with a bunch of other heroes.Kirishima then pulls of 3,050 yen and hands it to Bowsette who puts it into her bag.

Bowsette eyes widened as she saw their teacher“Mr.Aizawa?!”

“Not only am, the Dragoon hero,Ryukyu, the BMI hero,Fat Gum,Rock Lock,Kesagiri Man,and Mr. Brave”said Izuku.

“Why are all these heroes in the same room?”Bowsette asks.

Bowsette went over to Princess Peach”What's going on?”

“Patience little one,it’s about to begin”Peach said,cheerfully.

Night eye then walks in front of the room”Thanks to the information provided by all of you, our investigation has processed substantially.We've invited you all here for a joint conference to share the Intel with acquired..Regarding the yacht is a group Shie Hassaikai and what we believe they might be planning.”

“(Yakuza group?)”Bowsette thought.

“Some bad guys’re planning to do some bad things and they’ve called a meeting so we can talk it all out.Trust me.You two are very much involved” said Fat Gum.

Everyone then takes a seat the tables that are set up.

“All right, let's begin at the beginning.For the past couple of weeks now, those of us that Nighteye agency has been conducting and investigation into Shie Hassaikai, a small but organized group of criminals” said Bubble Girl while reading from a tablet.

“What promoted this?”Kesagiri Man asks,

“An accident involving a game of Thieves called “The Reservoir Dogs” ”said Bubble Girl.

“Yeah, I heard about that”said Mr.Brave.

“The police thought the whole thing was an accident but they were a numbers of details that didn't add up.So, we began tailing them”said Bubble Girl.

They explained that they found that the group had increased contact with the organization including other groups but his business dealings are less reputable. Explaining that they've been expanding the organization and enriching its coffers.I also went over that they made contact with a member of the league of villains,Jin Bubaigawara aka Twice.Explain it's two groups in an altercation with one another.Fat Gum then told them about drug that destoys quirks which catches everyone's attention. It is explained that they found human blood and cells.They then go over Shie Hassaikai head Chisaki maybe using his “daughter’s”body into bullets and selling them on the black market.

“To be clear, we aren't certain days actually selling the bullets.At this point, that efficacy appears the questionable.It's possible that there's still in the testing phase and he's giving them out of samples to really more people to his cause.We have no heart evidence but we do know he's Gathering allies and funds from across the nation.If the completed truck allows him to annihilate someone's quirk entirely, imagine the devastation he could cause ”said Nighteye.

The next day…

Izuku was training intensely after their meeting the other day,all of them were on standby.Kirishima,Urarak,Asui,and Bowsette were also doing the same since they were also part of the operation to save Eri.Bowsette knew that this was getting to Izuku.

Later that night…

The next day, Izuku trained intensely, the weight of their mission heavy on his mind. Bowsette and the others—Kirishima, Uraraka, and Tsuyu—also prepared rigorously. They were all part of the operation to save Eri, and Bowsette couldn’t help but notice how much it was affecting Izuku.

Later that night, Bowsette found him sitting on his bed, staring at the wall. His usually bright demeanor was replaced with a somber shadow.

“Hey, Izuku,” she said, leaning against his doorframe. “What’s got you looking like a kicked puppy?”

Izuku startled but quickly composed himself. “Oh, Bow-chan. It’s nothing, really.”

“Liar,” she teased, stepping inside. Her playful tone softened as she sat across from him. “What’s bothering you?”

After a moment of hesitation, Izuku opened up. “It’s Eri. I feel so powerless. And Sir Nighteye’s prediction about All Might...I’m terrified. He’s done so much for me. I don’t know what I’d do without him.”

Bowsette’s expression grew serious. “You don’t have to carry all this alone. You’ve got us—your friends, your classmates. We’re in this together.”

Izuku nodded, though the weight still felt heavy in his chest. “I know, but it’s hard. I just want to protect everyone, especially Eri.”

Bowsette smiles"Eli-kun probably tell you "Mate,Ya gotta focus on saving that girl,then worry bout saving All Might" hehe, please don't tell I tried to do the accent."

Izuku laughs"It wasn't that bad actually.Wonder how he's doing."

Days passed and in the middle of the night,Bowsette’s phone went off,ran down the stairs to the elevator or Izuku came out and they were soon joined by Kirishima,Uraraka, and Tysui.

“All right.You, too?”Kirishima asks.

They nod in response.

“We got it”said Tysui.

“It’s happening” said Izuku, intensely.

Day of the operation…

After being informed by the police and given a list of members according to their database and what their quirks were, the police then gave them a warning. After that, the heroes then moved out. Just before the police officer could bring the doorbell, one of the members punched the officer in the face, sending him flying but was saved by Izuku. Ryukyu then said to leave this to her agency and with that, the heroes ran inside. Bowsette stuck close to Jackie as they ran in with Peach inside. As they went inside they had not yet seen the main members, Sir nighteye then stop in front of a plant which made all the other stuff.

“This is it.There's a device here that opens a hidden passage.” he then moves the base out of the way and begins to press the boards”You press down the floorboards in a specific order, and then..”

The wall then begin to move slowly.

“It's like a ninja hideout! How cool!” said Bubble girl.

“(This is nothing compared to it back home)”Bowsette thought.

Just as the hidden passage opened a bit more, gang members started to pour out but were quickly taken care of by Bubble Girl and Centipeder.The other Heroes then continued down the path going down a staircase but then stopped at a dead end.

“Let me go take a look”said Mirio.
“Lamillion, if you go through you'll be naked”said Kirishima.

“It's okay. Mirio’s costume was constructed from a special fiber made of his own hair.It's designed so it becomes permeable when he activates this quirk” said Amajiki.

Lamillion sticks his head to the wall then back out”The hallway’s just been blocked with this wall.Breaking through it is not going to be easy.”

Kirishima and Izuku were able to break through the wall. The heroes don't continue to go down the hallway but then something strange begins to happen.

“What's going on with the walls?”Bowsette asks.

The walls begin to shift along with the floor, the heroes along with the police begin to separate as the entire building turns against them.Lamillion begins to run off on his own but Bowsette was right behind him.

Lamillion turns and sees her behind him“Wait you're-”

“You shouldn't run off on your own”said Bowsette.

“Didn't you just do the same?”Mirio points out.

“It's different when I do it”Bowsette retorts.

They continue to run together until black smoke appears in front of Bowsette and with no time they get out of it, she runs into it which sends her to a different part of that building.

“What just happened?”Bowsette asks.

Just then a woman appears in front of her with glowing white eyes, her face covered by a cloak, a black shiny leotard, black sleeves with claws put her hands, and black thigh high boots.

“How quickly do you want us to end?” she said with her claws out.

“(She wasn't in the report)So you're with the league of villains then?”Bowsette asks.

“Correct.Hmm, I believe I was informed about looking out for one with a turtle shell.”She then walks closer”Shall we begin, child?”

“There's only one of-”

“That's where you're wrong.There's two”

Bowsette's eyes widen and she instantly recognized The Voice and saw that it was none other than the one who tricked her into fighting Elijah back in the camp, Willow.

“Consider this payback for last time but then again it was more of you versus your friend”said Willow.

Bowsette grunts but attempts to keep her cool and tries to stay focused until she sees someone come out wearing a Jack-o-Lantern mask a white skin tight one piece that was listing the wrist and calves.

“Looks like I got separated from this…B-I mean uh-Koopa Hime, funny running into you here and it looks like my timing couldn't be better”said Jackie.

Bowsette seemed confused but welcomes her friend.

End of chapter.

Chapter 47: Shei Hassaikai Arc:A Brief Fight &Villians True Play

Chapter Text

Jackie stepped closer to Bowsette, her body tense as she prepared for a fight.

Bowsette whispered, "Be careful with the one in black. She has some sort of vampire quirk."

Jackie smirked. "Got it. And the other one?"

"I don’t know yet," Bowsette replied, glancing nervously at their opponents.

“How bothersome,” Willow pouted mockingly.

In a flash,Wink teleported in front of Bowsette, delivering a swift kick that sent her crashing into a wall. Bowsette quickly recovered, taking a deep breath before unleashing a torrent of fire breath.

Wink dodged, teleporting to avoid the flames—only to find a small white minion, wreathed in fire, flying toward her. The minion exploded on impact, sending her crashing into a table.

“More where that came from!” Jackie called out proudly.

Hero Name: Jack-o’-Lantern
Quirk: Iron Pumpkin Flail
Ability: Summons minions that assist her in combat. These minions can transform into weapons or objects, such as the prison weight chain currently coiled around her ankle.

Jackie summoned two more minions—one armed with a spear and the other flying with a sword and shield. "Get her, boys!"

But while Jackie focused on Wink, Willow crept behind her, fangs bared. At the last moment, a spike shot past Jackie, narrowly missing Willow.

Willow hissed in frustration. "This is getting annoying."

Wink teleported again, appearing behind Bowsette with her claws raised. Jackie’s prison weight chain sprang to life, firing a minion engulfed in green flames, knocking The Wink into a wall. Bowsette retreated into her shell, spinning toward Willow and landing a direct hit. Willow transformed into a swarm of bats, flying to The Wink's side before reforming.

Willow's glowing eyes narrowed as she conjured a massive hammer, its surface writhing with a symbiotic texture. She swung it wildly, but Bowsette evaded each strike.

“I’ll admit,” Willow said, her tone sardonic, “I’m impressed. You’re not the same girl from the camp. When did you graduate from pull-ups?”

Bowsette smirked bringing out her sharp nails and attempts to swing at her. “About the same time you got a boyfriend.”

Willow raised an eyebrow while dodging her attacks. "Joke’s on you. I’m getting married soon."

Bowsette blinked. "Well, good for you... I think?"

“Thank you. And congrats on you and Spider-Boy finally getting together,” Willow teased.

Bowsette flushed. "How do you know about that?! Are you reading my mind?"

Willow smirked. “Wouldn’t you like to know? Unfortunately, our little game is over for now.”

Just as Willow formed twin blades from her arms, a telepathic message echoed in her mind.

“Willow… help… My head’s splitting,” Twice’s voice rasped.

Willow sighed"(Toga, regroup and help Twice)".

“(On it!)” Toga’s voice chirped cheerfully.

Willow signaled Wink. “We’ll have to finish this later. Looking forward to next time.”

Wink smirked. “Now you see us, now you don’t.”

A plume of smoke engulfed the area, and the two villains vanished. Bowsette clenched her fists, furious they escaped.

"Dammit"said a Fraustrated Bowsette.

Jackie placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Don’t worry,” Jackie said. “We stood our ground. Let’s focus on regrouping and finding that little girl.”

Bowsette smirked. “Let’s leave that to Deku. The pros will know what to do.Let's go look for them or Lemillion.”

Toga wraps a pink cloth around his ripped mask while the wink leaned against the wall and Willow watch them.

“(If it wasn't an order I wouldn't even be here..But the reward is just as good..we just gotta stick to the plan)” Willow thought.

Flashback…

Shigaraki stood infront of Twice and the rest of the league of villains in an empty office building with Toga sitting on a desk,Dabi and Willow sitting on a nearby couch together,Spinner sitting on a box,Mr.Compress sitting in a chair with part of his left arm wraped up.

”You want us to work with the Hassaikai?”Twice asks.

“Yeah.Why do I have to keep repeating it? Their plan has some serious potential.So from today on,Toga,Willow,Twice, and our newest member who you'll meet will be Yakuza members”said Shigaraki.

Twice squints through his masks”I don't find this joke humorous.That's hilarious,Shigaraki”said Twice.

“They also wanted Kurogiri but I held out.” as he walked past Twice”He's got his own job to do right now, so there's no way I can spare him.It's too important.There's an underground root you can take to-”

Twice place the hand on Shigiraki’s shoulder”What are you thinking with this crap? Stop pretending everything is cool.Why’re this beak face loser give you orders? He killed big sis Mag! and he took and he took Mr. Compress arm! Did you forget? And it's all my fault! I brought him here to meet with you” twice then took off his mask to show a blonde haired man with stubble sweating nervously”I may be a villain, but I'm human, too.We all are, man.” Twice then looks a Toga” Come on, Toga. Don't you agree with me?”

Toga takes her knees from her chest and dangles them on the desk” The question I've got for you,Tomura is what we mean to you?” as she got off the desk.

“To me, the league is a place where I feel at home.I joined you ‘cause of Mr.Stainy.” as she twirled around with a knife in hand”To make the world a place where I can do whatever I want and live freely.It’d be such a Bummer to get distracted from my goal” tell them place the knife next to shigiraki’s neck”I guess what I'm wondering is…Why should we do something I don't want to do with people I wanna cut?”

Willow stood up and walked over to them“I agree with Toga..Also I want to get married to my man,sooo”

Shigiraki took the hand off of his face and smiles“It's simple.” but then made a serious expression to make their eyes go wide”Because this is all for us.They want to keep the league in check, so they'll try to win the four of you over, little by little.I want you to infiltrate them, flatter them but never forget they’re beneath us.Twice, you said they have to pay for what they did.We'll make sure they do, this will work.I believe in you guys.”

Back to the present…

“Now I understand why the Yakuza is dying out!”Twice shouts.

“Yeah! They really are hopeless losers!”said Toga.

Willow smirks“While you're fake leader ruins what's left of you-”

“Your real leader’s a bedridden old man” Toga finishes her sentence.

The Wink crosses her arms“A group from a bygone era, how utterly worthless.”

“I can't imagine anyone more worthless than that!” said Toga.

“ Your group is about to disappear like Footprints in the Sand” said Willow.

They then heard a loud scream and the building began to shake.

Twice then rose his fist in here“Ha! Big bro Irinaka sure gets angry easily!”

“The wimpiest guys always have the worst tempers!”said Toga.

Just then a hole opens from where they're standing and they all slid down a bunch of rocks.

“(So we got into a fight earlier, we'll play nice with the heroes just this once)“Willow thought.

End of chapter.

Chapter 48: Shei Hassaikai Arc:The Villians Play

Notes:

Sorry for the long wait,had Finals but here's chapter 48,enjoy

Chapter Text

Earlier That Week…

Toga, Willow, and Twice entered the Hassaikai's headquarters, their steps echoing in the vast halls.

“Please?” Toga whined, clasping her hands together like a child begging for candy.

Willow sighed, brushing back a lock of her hair. “Fine, you can be the bridesmaid.”

Toga squealed with delight, throwing her arms around Willow in an enthusiastic hug. “Yay! This is going to be so much fun!”

As they continued down the corridor, they spotted a woman leaning nonchalantly against the wall. She had a sharp, calculating gaze, and her aura exuded both confidence and menace.

“That chick scares me. She's totally hot!” Twice blurted, his voice oscillating between admiration and nervousness.

Willow locked eyes with the woman and reached out telepathically. “You're the other member?”

The woman replied in kind, her voice smooth and steady in Willow's mind. “I am. Along with another operative who's currently on a separate assignment. My name is Bernadetta Gaetani, but you can call me Wink.”

Willow raised an eyebrow. “Wink? Interesting. And a foreigner. Your Japanese is impressive.”

Toga tilted her head, visibly confused until realization struck. “Oh, you were doing that mind-talking thing!”

Later, the group was seated in front of Chisaki and his Yakuza underlings. The tension in the room was palpable.

Willow began, her tone cool and composed. “I am Willow. Shigaraki instructed me to be here.”

Toga followed with a half-hearted introduction. “My name’s Toga. I was told I had to come here... Hiya.” Her lack of enthusiasm was almost comical.

Wink simply stated, “My name is Wink.”

Twice, however, crossed his arms dramatically. “Long time no see, Birdman! Be warned—I’ll never forgive you!” He slashed a hand across his neck. “But hey, so happy to be on the team!”

Chisaki sighed, barely reacting to Twice's outburst. “Wonderful.”

Rappa, on the other hand, cracked his knuckles, grinning. “The League of Villains? This is perfect. Let’s brawl!”

“I’ll kill you,” Twice shot back.

“Yeah, no thanks,” Willow and Toga said in unison, deadpan.

“Also not interested,” Wink added, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Chisaki scratched his head, exhaling slowly. “Sorry about Magne. It was unfortunate. I didn’t want to kill him.”

The room went icy. The three women stared daggers at him as well as Twice.

“You mean her,” Twice corrected, his voice dangerously low.

“Don’t make that mistake again,” Toga added coldly.

“(I’m just as mad as you two, but we need to play nice... for now),” Willow’s telepathic message soothed her comrades.

Chisaki shrugged, brushing off the tension. “Anyway, grudges are counterproductive. We’re on the same team now, and I want your help with my plan.”

Twice bristled. “Bastard. Acting like you’re above it all! So, what are our orders?”

“Follow instructions like everyone else here. But first, I need to understand your Quirks in detail. It’ll make coordination easier,” Chisaki explained.

Toga crossed her arms, scowling. “I’ll tell you about my powers when I feel like it. And just so we’re clear, I still don’t like you people.”

Willow scoffed, glancing at the Yakuza members. “None of them are even worth my time.”

Nemoto, one of Chisaki’s men, stepped forward. “What is your Quirk?”

Twice groaned, but against his will, he began to explain. “I can make doubles of anything, but I need a precise image in my head—height, measurements, the works. If it’s a person, I need every detail. Doubles are weaker than the real thing and melt after taking too much damage. I can only double two things at once. Oh, and for personal reasons, I won’t double myself.”

Twice snapped back to awareness, blinking in shock. “Huh? What just happened? I couldn’t stop talking!”

Toga smirked. “Wow. That was pretty stupid.”

“It wasn’t me, Toga! I swear!” Twice shouted defensively.

Nemoto turned to Toga. “And you?”

Toga rolled her eyes but against her will. “If I drink someone’s blood, I can transform into them. The more I drink, the longer I can hold the form. A cup gives me about a day. I can even mix multiple blood samples to change into different people, but that gets messy.” She paused, a mischievous glint in her eye. “Oh, and I have to get naked for it to work properly. Embarrassing, right?”

Toga then covers your mouth up and looks at Twice then back at them.

Nemoto turned to Willow. “And your Quirk?”

Willow smirked, her tone confident. “(Whatever his quirk is it won't affect me best to keep some a secret) I have two. First, I possess vampire abilities—venomous fangs, shapeshifting, and enhanced senses. Second, I can manipulate shadows, transforming parts of my body into weapons, shields, or even wings. If I drink enough blood, I can heal almost instantly.

Wink groans“I have sharp blades in my arms and before you ask—yes, I can teleport, but for bigger places such as countries, I have to either have been there or have visual of it.”

Chisaki nodded, satisfied. “Good. Then I’ll accept you as members of the Hassaikai. But wanted criminals like you need to stay underground unless I say otherwise.”

“House arrest?” Twice shouted.

“Lame!” Toga complained.

“Once I trust you more, you’ll have freedom. For now, prove yourselves,” Chisaki said before leaving the room.

The group was then led by Mimic, whose shrill voice grated on their nerves. “Fix those attitudes if you want to be taken seriously. We’re Yakuza, not street thugs.”

Willow noticed Wink’s gaze lingering on Mimic, her expression unreadable. “(That little one hasn’t stopped staring at me),” Wink thought.

Willow smirked inwardly. “(He’s been ogling me, too. Just play along… for now).”

Back to the Present…

The villains continued to fall through the collapsing building. Toga laughed as she teased the Yakuza.

“Wimps like you always lose your cool. You show your true colors when you’re mad!” she jeered.

Willow, arms crossed, silently observed. “(This might just give the heroes the opening they need).”

Meanwhile with Bowsette and Jackie…

Bowsette and Jackie prepared themselves for the chaos ahead when they hear a monstrous yell as the room began to shift.

“That's the one who's warping hideout”said Jackie.

Bowsette then enters Warrior god mode turning her hair fluorescent red.Bowsette then uses her razor sharp nails to dig their way out of the room.She continues until she and Jackie fall down a hole.Bowsette go into her shell with Jackie holding on until they fall out.they land on the ground,Bowsette gets out of her shell to see Lamillion badly injured.He had a spike in the side of his rib cage,blood covering the left side of his face. Bowsette was in shock but then noticed Eri who looked terrified.

Jackie then points and whispers”Look it’s the leader,Chisaki.he looks in rough shape.”

“You wanted to become a hero so badly and couldn’t even save Eri.You’re filthy,Lemillion,Infected”said Chisaki in pain.

Bowsette then asks Jackie”How strong are your minions and can they throw far?”

Jackie understood her plan and created her flying minion.Bowsette got back into her shell,the minion picked her up with ease.The minion flew high enough not to be seen and threw her.

“Every last one of you”said Chisaki.

Lemillion pulls out the spike and runs toward him“Chisaki!!”

Chisaki puts his hand down“I told you that’s not my name anymore!”

Bowsette then pops out her shell and delivers a devastating sidekick which sends him a couple of meters away.

Bowsette then quickly went over to Lemillion“Hey,are you both ok?”

With Willow…

The four villains watched as Izuku,Nighteye and a couple of cops run forward from a bridge on the ceiling.They then began to crawl away.

Twice“What should we do?”

“There’s a good chance Izuku’s gonna get bloodied up,I’d really like to see that again..But,maybe more than that…”Toga then had the look of disdain”Right now I just wanna make Overhaul cry like a little baby.”

“I’m with Toga”said Willow.

“In that case,I’ve got no Idea! Here’s what we should do”said Twice.

“I’m listening”said Toga.

Twice then whispers it to Toga who smiles with glee to the confusion of Willow and Wink.

“Oh,that’s perfect,Jin”said Toga.

“Care to share with everyone?”Wink asks.

Toga then looks at them”Let’s just say it’ll make Tomura real happy!”

Wink then looks at Willow”You trust them?”

Willow looks at Toga and Twice,sighs, and then back at Wink“Yeah,I trust them.”

“Good enough for me”said Wink.

“Okay,If Izuku’s group and Overhaul come together,everybody’s gonna end up bruised and bleeding.The fight between the heroes and the yakuza will be epic! I bet at the end of the battle,both sides’ll be super messed up,Ooh,I wish I could watch!”said Toga.

Willow then looked at Twice”Great plan.”

“ But that’s only part of it” said Twice.

Willow then raised an eyebrow.

Back with Bowsette…

Bowsette was checking on Lemillion and Eri when Overhaul launched an attack on her but she uses her shell to sheild herself and Lemillion.

“You brat!”Overhaul shouts.

Before he could do it again,a wall nearby broke revealing Izuku who punches Overhaul far enough away.

Aizawa used his quirk”Nighteye,quick! Secure those who’ve been injured.”

Jackie then made her way over to Aizawa.

Bowsette noticed Mirio was stumbling and rest his arm over her shoulder.

“Get Eri out of here.She’s right behind me”Mirio struggles to say.

Nighteye then walks over and grabs hold of Eri and placed a hand on Mirio’s shoulder”Rest.You were amazing.You found her,Mirio.”

Aizawa and Izuku rush towards Overhaul.

Overhaul growls”Time to get up,Chrono!”

Aizawa realised something was wrong and used his tape to move Izuku out of the way.Aizawa gets cut in the process.

“Those pieced by the long hand will find their movements slowed.I meant to skewer both of you at once,but,then,that’s heroes for ya”said Kurono.

“I’ve got you”said Izuku.

Aizawa blink and in that moment,Overhaul activated his Quick,placed his hand on the ground,and spikes sprouted from the ground.Izuku was pinned by the rising spikes.Bowsette
was able to back away with Eri as Nighteye and Jackie back away.

Bowsette then looks at Eri”Hey,those spikes didn’t hit you did they?”.

Eri shakes her head no.

Bowsette smiles through her masks but wince in pain as some of the spikes did get her arm and left leg.

Bowsette notices the concerned look on Eri but smiles“These are nothing for a hero like me.”

Their attention is then caught when a loud boom is heard.

“I’ll acknowledge that you were stronger than me,Lemillion.I respect your perseverance. But in the end,I will still be the victor”smoke clears to reveal Overhaul with monstrous
claws, two additional arms deformed with spiked claws and black parts of Shin's cape. His hair gets spikier, and his mask rips apart, seeming to be fused onto his face, which is also covered in black fabric. Shin is presumably conscious in the fused form as his mouth is used through Kai's right hand and his Quirk is in use”Now,heroes.I’ll have you return Eri to me!”

Bowsette then looked around and noticed something”(Jackie’s gone,so is Mr.Aizawa,and underling…Izuku’s pinned but not injured..I just need to keep Eri safe from Overhaul.)”

“Cleanliness is an obsession of mine.When someone contaminates me with their filth,I lose control.It’s never gone quite this far before,though.What an unfortunate turn for you,Lemillion..You chose to get involved with Eri,with me,and now your quirk is lost forever”said Overhaul.

Bowsette’s eyes widened“His quirk is gone?”

Overhaul uses one of his newer arms to open a dark red box“If you’d only backed down sooner,you could have held on to your pathetic dreams”Overhaul pulls out a vile”But instead you fought, refusing to give up even after your Quirk was gone. And now, thanks to your heroics, your friend along with you!”

Overhaul lunges putting his monsters hands to the ground as he made his way to where Bowsette and Eri were.Bowsette quickly turned and shot the spikes off her shell.Overhaul was able to knock them away but just as he was about to munch at her again, Izuku rushed in with a part of the floor that has a spike.

“(Leave them alone!!)” Izuku thought.

Despite brakes forming around Overhaul.Izuku trust to kick him but Overhaul forms a makeshift shield to deflect it.

Overhaul fires a blast directly at him.

Bowsette then saw Sir Nighteye running towards the scene“Stand down,Deku.I’ll deal with him! You and Koopa-Hime look after Lemillion and Eri!!”

Yes,sir!”both Izuku and Bowsette shout.

Bowsette picks up Eri and runs over to where Lemillion was laying along with Izuku.

“B-KP,how’s Eri?”Izuku asks.

“She’s fine.Lemillion,do you think you can walk?Bowsette asks.

“Yeah.No problem.I’m fine”said Mirio breathing heavily”But I failed.You’re sad again and it’s my fault”.

“C’mon.Let’s go”said Izuku.

Bowsette lifts one of Lemillion’s arm around her shoulder,gently helps him up as Izuku punched a hole through the wall.

“I’m pretty sure this’ll lead us back,we need to get away from Chisaki!”said Izuku.

Bowsette then noticed the terrified look on Eri’s face”No.That’s enough.”tears then fell from the little girls face”I’m so sorry”.

Before anyone could say anything they all heard a sharp sound,Bowsette, and Izuku,and Mirio slowly turned.Their faces showed a mixture of shock and horror as Sir Nighteye was impaled in the left arm and the middle of his chest.

No!”Mirio shouted which echoed through the room.

In anger,Izuku runs at Overhaul.

Bowsette protests“Iz-”

“GET ERI AND LEMILLION OUT OF HERE!!”Izuku shouts.

Bowsette was conflicted but new she had to get them out of there and did what she was told. She helps Miro and Eri out of the room and into a hallway. She noticed the tearful look of Mirio who was about to fall over but she catches him.

“Let's go,Eri.Find somewhere to hide.Wait for help.Dozens of people are doing everything they can to save you.Just hide.It's all good”said Mirio.

Before she can say anything, they hear a voice saying”Someone else is about to die because of you! Is that really what you want? Eri!”

Bowsette instantly knew it was Overhaul in the distance”How could someone say that to a kid?”

Eri then ran away from both of them while Bowsette went after her. Did you end up going back to that battle where Izuku had spikes in his arm and his thigh.

“Wait.It's not…I don't want this!” said Eri.

“Easy to stay back, go back to the million and Koopa-Hime,Eri”said Izuku.

“Eri”Overhaul using his hand that had a mouth on it”Look at him, injured and alone.You don't really think he can defeat me, do you?”

Eri with the look of utter dread“No, I don't.”

“Smart girl. So then, what do you suppose you should do?”

“I’ll c-”

Eri is cut off when all the sudden Bowsette hugs her from behind.

“Listen to me kid, can't trust him.I know what you're thinking and he won't.After you go back with him, he'll kill everyone here.”

Eri turns to her, who sees Bowsette smiling to her surprise.

To both of their surprise,Izuku pulls out one of the spikes“Maybe you think you don't want my help, but I won't let you down,Eri.I'm not letting anyone die!” Izuku crushes the spike”I'm going to save you!”

Bowsette smirks”You heard Deku.”

Just then, the ceiling begin to crack with Ryukyu in her giant draconic form along with Tsuyu and Uraraka.

Bowsette puzzled “What?”

“Ryukyu! You guys came!”said Izuku.

“ Deku! Wait”said Uraraka.

“If you're here, who's the Deku we just saw?”Tsuyu asks.

“(Another Izuku? Wait, that can only mean..The league of villains are still here?)”Bowsette thought.

With Willow and the others…

Toga’s ability was wearing off which was about to leave her ugly naked until Willow walked over with her clothes in one hand while an umbrella in the other as Wink walked over to her.

“ ”Go beyond! Plus Ultra?” I prefer go confusion! Plus Chaos! ” said Toga.

“Clothe yourself before you give this old man a heart attack” said a copy of Mr.compress.

Willow places her clothes next to her“That has to be the biggest downside to your Quirk.”

“You made a duplicate of me so I could extract you?” the duplicate Mr.compress asks.

Twice then points at him”That's right!That's step one of the plan.I make a copy of compress.Step two, using compress’s quirk, we tunnel through the ground and escape to the surface.Step 3, Toga disguises herself and notifies the heroes.”

Willow turns to Twice”I'd say it's going good so far.”

Twice tuns to her”Here comes the best part cause this is the first time the Yakuza have Let Us near the kid their whole plan depends on.”

“Their secret weapon’s a kid?” the duplicate asks.

“Sure is”Wink answers.

“Which means you need to get down there and grab her” said Twice.

The duplicate turn with the look of dread on his mask“ Me?”

“Don't be such a baby about it, what's the worst that could happen?”Toga asks.

“I would go down there myself but I'm not good with sunlight” said Willow.

“Hey! I already lost an arm to that man, you want me to let him finish the job?” the duplicate asks.

“He's not the real Mr.compress, right?”Wink asks.

“Yep” they all said in unison.

“So you'll be fine” said Wink as she kicked him in.

“Psychos! Are you unable to think about anyone but yourselves?” he asked as he slid down.

Willow turns to Wink”For being a newbie, you're fitting right in”.

“I was about to say the same thing”said Toga.

Back with Bowsette and Izuku….

Izuku runs towards Overhaul but overhaul shoots a pillar under Eri and Bowsette which sends them into the air. Before she can go into her shell,Overhaul delivers a punch to
Bowsette which sends her into a wall and falls to the ground unconscious.

Hours Later...

Bowsette woke up in an unfamiliar bed. For a moment, she was disoriented, but then the memories of the recent events came rushing back. Her heart raced as she sat up abruptly, scanning her surroundings. The sound of a door opening caught her attention. She turned to see Izuku and Mr. Aizawa stepping into the room.

"Bow-chan, you're awake!" Izuku exclaimed, relief and joy evident in his voice.

"What... happened?" Bowsette asked cautiously, her throat dry.

Aizawa exchanged a glance with Izuku, who gave him a silent nod before exiting the room and closing the door behind him. Bowsette's chest tightened, sensing the weight of bad news in the air.

Izuku hesitated, his hands clenching into fists before he spoke. "The good news is... Eri is safe, and Chisaki has been apprehended along with his accomplices."

Bowsette let out a shaky sigh of relief. "As long as she's safe—"

Izuku's expression darkened. "But... there were sacrifices. Mirio lost his Quirk, and... Sir Nighteye… didn’t make it. He succumbed to his injuries."

The relief on Bowsette’s face was replaced with heartbreak. Without thinking, she threw her arms around Izuku, holding him tightly. He embraced her in return, neither saying a word as the weight of their grief settled around them.

After what felt like an eternity, Bowsette pulled away. The doctor entered the room soon after to examine her. Her injuries, fortunately, were minor and would heal with time. Once she was cleared, she changed into her school uniform and left the hospital room.

Outside, she found Izuku and Kirishima waiting for her.

"Koopa, you're already up and moving?" Kirishima asked, giving her a thumbs-up.

"Yeah, luckily my injuries are minor. I just need a bit of rest," Bowsette replied with a faint smile.

Before they could continue, two police officers approached them, saluting sharply.

"Izuku Midoriya, Eijiro Kirishima, and Bowsette Koopa?" one of the officers asked.

The trio nodded.

"Apologies for interrupting after your discharge, but we need you to come down to the station. We have some questions regarding the incident," the officer explained.

"Yes, sir," Kirishima replied, his voice steady.

"Anything you need," Izuku added with determination.

Bowsette gave a short nod. "Understood."

Much Later...

The three walked back from the police station, the weight of the day's events still pressing on them. Bowsette leaned her head against Izuku’s shoulder, her exhaustion evident.

"Is she okay like that?" Kirishima asked, concern lacing his tone.

Izuku smiled faintly. "Yeah. She used to do this all the time when we were kids. Whenever she got too tired, she'd fall asleep, and either Eli-kun or I would carry her home."

"Deku! Kirishima! Koopa!"

The shout startled them. They turned to see Uraraka waving excitedly, with Tsuyu standing beside her.

Before they could respond, there was a soft thud. Bowsette had collapsed to the ground, still half-asleep. Izuku quickly crouched down and helped her up.

"Sorry, Bow-chan," he said gently.

She mumbled something incoherent in response, still too groggy to fully wake.

"Are you two just getting back to the dorms now, too?" Izuku asked as he supported Bowsette.

"Yup!" Uraraka replied cheerfully.

"There were a lot of last-minute forms to fill out at Ryukyu’s office," Tsuyu explained.

"We had to do the same thing," Kirishima added, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

Together, they all began walking toward the dorms.

"You know what’s weird?" Uraraka said, glancing around. "It feels like we haven’t been back here in forever."

"Yeah," Tsuyu agreed with a quiet croak.

"Well, let’s go," Kirishima said, his voice cutting through the somber mood. His enthusiasm snapped Izuku out of his thoughts, and the group quickened their pace, eager to return to the comfort of their dorms.

End of chapter.

Chapter 49: School Festival Arc:Aftermath,School Festival,And Luna's Mother

Chapter Text

Before they knew it, September was over and fall was upon them. And the air outside grew colder, they tried to come to terms with everything they had been through. All Might and Aizawa took those were involved in the Shie Hassaikai raid to Sir Nighteye’s funeral. It was one last chance to say goodbye to him, the teachers and the hero agencies talked about the work study program and decided it would be best to put them on hold.Nighteye’s sidekick,Centipeder, took over his agency. He and Bubble Girl eagerly awaiting Togeta’s return to their ranks. Eri regained consciousness and recovered but she was still emotionally unstable in her quirk could go out of full control at any time so the hospital had to take precautions and she couldn't have visitors.

With Elijah(Back as to his story)….

Elijah was walking to the dorms along with Tokoyami, reflecting on what they learned when I made it to the entrance of the dorm.

“You think they're waiting for us?”Tokoyami asks.

“Not after what happened with the others,mate”said Elijiah.

They both walk in where they were greeted by a lot of their classmates but Elijah noticed Bowsette wasn't one of them. He then went to Izuku’s door. He knocked and was greeted with a smile.

“Welcome back,Eli-kun”said Izuku.

“Good to see you,Izuku”he replies.

“So are you here to-”

“Where's Bowsie?”Elijiah asks.

Izuku notice the terrifying smile on his face”I-is everything okay between you two?”

“Oh, I don't know.I mean I tried to call her multiple times but went straight to voicemail, I texted her a couple of times but never got a reply, and also I found out about everything that happened with you two from Uraraka instead of to you so what do you think?”Elijah asks.

“You're mad-”

“Definitely”Elijah answers.

Before he can say anything else,Izuku found himself being dragged off by Elijah.

At Bowsette’s Door....

Elijah knocked twice. No response.

“She usually answers right away,” Izuku said, puzzled.

“Bowsie, we need to talk,” Elijah called out, his voice steady but firm.

From behind the door came a muffled, nervous voice. “E-Eli-kun?! Uh, now’s not a good time… come back, um… never.”

Elijah’s eyes narrowed. “I’ve lost the plot. Are you mad at me for something? If anything, I have every right to be mad at you!”

“No… I just… I can’t see you right now,” Bowsette stammered. “I don’t want you to see me.”

Silence fell between them, the weight of her words hanging in the air. Elijah stood frozen, his expression a mix of confusion and frustration.

“I guess if that’s what you want… fine,” he said at last, turning away.

Izuku looked at his retreating friend, worry etched across his face.

The Next Day....

Class proceeded as usual, but Elijah was noticeably distracted. His mind wandered as he replayed the events of the previous night. Izuku, on the other hand, couldn’t help but notice Bowsette’s conspicuous absence. Uraraka picked up on the tension between them.

At Lunch....

“So, did something happen between Bowsette and Eli-kun?” Uraraka asked Izuku, lowering her voice.

Izuku hesitated, glancing at Elijah before whispering back, “I can’t really say—”

“She broke up with me,” Elijah said flatly, interrupting them.

“What?!” Uraraka blurted out, earning curious glances from their classmates. She quickly apologized before turning back to Elijah.

“No way…” Uraraka said in disbelief.

“I wouldn’t have believed it either if I hadn’t been there,” Izuku added.

Uraraka frowned, determined to get to the bottom of this.

Later that day,Uraraka went to Bowsette’s door and knocked on it.

“Who’s there?” Bowsette asked cautiously.

“It’s Uraraka. Koopa-san! Is it true? You break up with Eli-kun?” Uraraka called out.

“What?” Bowsette replied, startled.

“I heard it from him and Izuku. He seems really—”

Before she could finish, the door opened abruptly, and a hand yanked Uraraka inside. The door shut just as quickly.

Uraraka’s eyes widened as she took in Bowsette’s appearance. Her skin was peeling in patches, her hair had grown noticeably longer, and her chest appeared… larger.

“I didn’t break up with him,” Bowsette said, sighing. “I just told him I couldn’t… Ugh, now I see the confusion.”

“Are you okay?” Uraraka asked, her concern evident.

“It’s bad enough I have to deal with this. Now my boyfriend thinks I broke up with him,” Bowsette groaned. “This is what happens when I grow. It’s a… shedding process. Izuku and Eli-kun don’t know about it, and I didn’t want them to. I only told Mr. Aizawa because the process can be painful and, well, embarrassing.” Her tail flicked anxiously behind her.

“Maybe you should explain it to Eli-kun,” Uraraka suggested gently.

“I was going to wait until tomorrow, when the process is over,” Bowsette said.

“Call him now,” Uraraka insisted. “Before someone like Ferisha swoops in.”

The thought of Elijah and Ferisha together made Bowsette’s heart ache. Reluctantly, she grabbed her phone and sent Elijah a text.

“Could you… stay here with me?” Bowsette asked. “I’m not sure how he’ll react.”

“Of course,” Uraraka said reassuringly.

Moments later, a knock sounded at the door. Bowsette panicked and quickly retreated into her shell. Uraraka opened the door to reveal Elijah and Izuku.

“You’re here too, Deku?” Uraraka asked, surprised.

“I wanted to help sort this out,” Izuku said nervously.

They stepped inside, their eyes scanning the room until they noticed Bowsette’s blue eyes peeking out from the shadows of her shell.

“Eli-kun… I didn’t break up with you,” Bowsette said softly. “I just… needed time. Could you and Izuku turn around for a moment? I need to prepare for this.”

The two boys exchanged a confused glance but complied. Taking a deep breath, Bowsette emerged from her shell.

“Promise you won’t laugh,” she said nervously.

“We won’t,” they replied in unison.

“You can turn around now,” she said, bracing herself.

The boys turned to face her.

“So… what?” Elijah asked, his expression neutral.

“What do you mean, ‘so what’?” Bowsette asked in disbelief. “My skin is—”

“Shedding. We know,” Izuku interrupted. “Junior told us you do that sometimes.”

“(That little twerp!)” Bowsette thought, exasperated.

“Your mum explained it in more detail. We’ve always just given you your privacy,” Elijah added.

Bowsette turned away, embarrassed. “Well… I guess this is resolved. Eli-kun, I’ll make this up to you tomorrow if we’re still—”

“It was a misunderstanding, so we’re ace, Bowsie,” Elijah said with a grin.

The Next Day.....

Elijah walked into class only to be greeted by the sight of Izuku attempting to breakdance—badly. He bit his lip, trying not to laugh, but Bowsette's pouty glare only made it harder.

"(Should I tell her she looks even cuter when she tries to look mad? Nah, she'll just pinch me again.)" Elijah thought, amused.

"Eli-kun," Bowsette called out.

"Yes?"

She marched over, pinching both his cheeks and stretching them out. "What a bad boy! I know you're thinking something mean!"

"But I wasn’t!" he protested, muffled by her grip.

"Liar."

"Fine. I was thinking you’re adorable when you try to look mad, especially when you pout."

Bowsette released his face, her cheeks flushing as she played with a strand of her hair. "O-oh… I guess that's fine then."

Meanwhile, Kaminari was talking enthusiastically, "Seeing Ashido dance reminds me of Sato always baking. It’s a hobby, but it helps with hero work too. Man, so smart!" He turned toward Jiro. "Speaking of hobbies, I bet yours is the same, huh, Jiro?"

"What? I don’t know," Jiro mumbled, blushing slightly.

“Come on! Your dorm room looks like a recording studio! One look and I could tell music is your whole life just like Hendrix-kun”Kaminari teased.

"Drop it, moron," Jiro snapped, her blush intensifying.

“Oh, yeah that's passi-”
“Eli-kun!”said Jiro.

Before Kaminari could push further, Elijah casually shot a web at his mouth. "They say silence is golden, mate."

"Thanks," Jiro muttered, relieved, as she went to her seat.

Later in class...
“It's coming.The school Festival” said Aizawa and his sleeping bag.

“Normal school stuff!” the class shouted except for Elijah,Bakugo, and Todoroki.

Kirishima stood up“Hold on,Mr.Aizawa.Are you sure this is okay?”

“Hush,Kirishima. Don't you ruin this!”Kiminari whispers.

“Think about it, though.There are villains everywhere right now!”said Kiminari.

“You're right.That's a reasonable point.However, there are students here besides those in the hero course.You get the spotlight every year at the sports fest.This is for everyone else.The support course, General studies, and don't forget the business course students.This doesn't get as much attention as the sports Fest but it's still the yearly event they all look forward to”Aizawa explains.

“(Don't feel bad that they're in our shadow)” Elijah thought.

“Many of your peers are feeling stressed out by the current conditions here at U.A.Especially the dorm system, which had to be adopted because of the hero course-”

“(Now I feel even more guilty)” Elijah thought.

“When you put it like that, guess it'd be unfair to cancel it”said Kirishima.

“Correct.So, yeah.It's still on and hopefully everyone will enjoy it.So unlike festivals in the past, this year's will only be open to UA students and staff with a few exceptions.”Aizawa then sat on the ground inside his sleeping bag”You may not be the focus this time, but your class still needs to participate with some kind of original programming.You need to decide what you want to do today.” he explained as he fell asleep.

“He's out” all the students said.

Elijah smirks, pulls out a marker, then activates camouflage.

Iida and Yaoyorozu stepped up to his desk.

“All right! As class representative, it is my duty to facilitate the process from here! I promise I will do my very best.Let's start! First, we will have a quick brainstorming session! If anyone has an idea, raise your hand!”Iida explains.

Quickly, a bunch of their classmates raise their hands.

“Well, I wasn't expecting so much enthusiasm! Come down now! We’ll go one at a time, please”Iida then points a hand at Kaminari”Yes! You,Kaminari!”

Kaminari then set up“A maid Cafe! Seriously! Imagine it!” as he imagined all the girls from class 1-A and maid outfits”Now imagine it again with more details and if you imagine it me and the center of-”

“Eli-kun”said Seol Hee.

“Kay”said Elijah.

He then shoots a web onto his mouth yet again.

Bowsette was a bit jealous“(First Jiro,now Hee? Since when did those two hang out?)”she thought.

“That's way too tame!” Mineta shouts.

“Mineta!”Iida points for him to explain.

“A topless-” he began to say but was then tied up by Tsyui.

“Wanna help me tie this off?” she asks.

“Sure thing”said Sato.

“A mochi shop”Uraraka recommended.

“Celebrating Japanese cuisine!”said Iida.

“An arm wrestling match”Kirishima recommended.

“So intense!”Iida comments.

“A fun house” Hagakure recommended.

“Don't know what you mean, but sounds interesting!”Iida comments.

“A Creperie”Sato recommended.

“That'd be great for eating on the go!”Iida comments.

“Disco!”Ashido recommended.

“Sounds invigorating!”Iida comments.

“A hero quiz” Izuku recommended.

“As I'd expect from you!” Iida comments.

“Scavenger hunt”Ferisha recommended.

“Sounds interesting”Iida comments.

“The” Frog song” in a round”Tsyui recommended.

“How charming!”Iida comments.

“Gaming tournament!”Bowsette recommended.

“Interesting!”Iida comments.

After hearing a few more recommendations, it was put on to the Holographic chalkboard.

“Okay.I think we've got something from everyone except for Hendrix who said"Dunno yet, mate. Just vibing." which I don't understand”said Iida.

“To begin with, let's cut some.Anything inappropriate, impossible, or confusing”said Yaoyorozu looking at her pad,Giving a few recommendations an x.

“Who said a local history presentation?That sounds super boring”said Hagakure, which hurt Iida.

“And we do group studies sessions all the time”said Kaminari.

“Who came up with that bloody lame idea?”Elijah asks.

Yaoyorozu put on a brave smile but then cried which made Elijah feel bad.

“Way to go, Hendrix” everyone thought in class while staring at him.

Just in the bell rings and Aizawa then got up”That was a highly unproductive meeting.Decide what you'll do by tomorrow morning.If you don't, we'll go with my idea… and educational lecture.”

“You mean just a class?” everyone in class said but then got a good look at his face and was trying not to laugh as they saw a monocle a French mustache and a goatee as well as A a drawn in unibrow in marker.

“Uhm…Mr.Aizawa?”Yaoyorozu gives him a mirror.

Aizawa then looks at what happened”Who did this?”

“I think I saw a Bakugo getting up going “bwahaha” with a marker in hand but that's just me-”

“You are so full of it, spider Brit!”Bakugo shouts.

“I find that hard to believe-”Aizawa began to say but saw Seol raise your hand”Go ahead.”

“Sir, I happen to see Bakugo sneaking over to you with the marker”said Seol.

“I saw him as well” said Ferisha twirling her Cattail.

“In that case,Bakugo, you got detention today”said Aizawa.

Aizawa leaves the class.Bakugo glares at Elijah who just whistles the United Kingdoms national anthem while giving Bakugo the middle finger. As everyone went to lunch,Bowsette was about to go up to Elijah when she sees Elijah doing some sort of handshake with Seol Hee then he walks up to Bowsette.

"You good, Bowsie?" he asked, noticing her frown.

"It’s… nothing," she replied, brushing him off.

Some who are on the raid we're catching up on some missed classes. on their walk back to the dorms,Izuku noticed the concerned look on Bowsette.
“Everything okay?”Izuku asks.

“Have you ever noticed how close Eli-kun and Seol are?”Bowsette asks.

“Sort of.But I don't think they're really that close”Izuku answered.

“Maybe it's just me” said Bowsette.

“Maybe you should talk to him or her? But at least hear them out before you come to conclusions and get mad”said Izuku.

Meanwhile at the dorm…

Todoroki had came up with the idea of doing something with dancing and singing with others agreeing.
“Well, if we're talking about music.. two people come to mind” said Hagakure.

They all turned their attention to Jiro,Elijah who had his headphones in, and Seol Hee who was looking at something on her phone until they all noticed that some of their classmates were staring at them.

Elijah then took out his headphones”What's going on?”

“Uh,what?”said Jiro.

“Why don't we perform live? With all your instruments? You and El-Hendrix could play on guitar while Seol Hee sings”Hagakure suggests.

Elijah raises an eyebrow“Now I'm interested.Another chance to play on a stage, I'm in.”

“Absolutely not”Jiro protest.

“What's wrong? We all know he's good at playing and so are you along with teaching people how to play.You always look like you're having a ton of fun when you make music! I bet everyone in school would love to hear you along with them rock out!”said Hagakure.

“No.I'm not Ashido for Sato.Their Hobbies actually help their hero work.They have a purpose.But music.. it's just a hobby-”

Elijah jumped off the couch and walked up to Jiro”Is that what this is about? What Kaminari said earlier? Forget what the bloke said,I felt the same way you did when I first played but you know what? When I saw all those people enjoying the song that I wrote, seeing the smiles on everyone's face, it made me want to do it again.I'm sure if all three of us work together, we can come up with something so good, it'll make the hero say” we got to get her to our agency” in a heartbeat.”

“I'm with Hendrix.I think your music will definitely be useful when you're a pro!”said Koda.

Yaoyorozu then walks in front of Elijah and Koda“Look, I understand where you both are coming from, but it is her choice.If she doesn't want to perform, that's fine.”

“Well, after what they said…If I didn't do it, I guess it wouldn't be rockin’ at all” said Jiro.

Elijah smirks”I mean I could definitely rock out the place but it wouldn't be the same.”

Jiro playfully punches him in the arm”Jerk but I get what you mean.”

The next day…
Bowsette woke up and went to the kitchen but then hit behind a wall which she saw Elijah and Seol Hee talking to each other.

“I hope it's not a problem but-”
“It's totally fine.Why don't we get going?”Elijah asks.

Bowsette then comes from behind the wall surprising the both of them.

“Why are you two all dressed up? Headed somewhere?”Bowsette asks in a sharp tone.

“It's not what you think,Bowsie” Elijah began to say,sweatdrop.

“And what do I think?” she asked, glaring at him.

“Well I don't want to-”
“It's fine Eli-kun.Why don't you get dressed and come on with us?”Seol Hee asks with a warm smile.

“Are you sure?”Elijah whispers.

Bowsette then turns to walk out of the room“Give me 10 minutes.”

10 minutes later, the three made their way towards a prison that was located on an island, as they went in they were checked for anything and then escorted to a room with a mirror. Bowsette felt anxious and a bit confused as she sat in a chair and saw Seol Hee clutching her fist.That's when he door on the other side opened and a tall woman with a curvy body, long Indigo colored hair with numerous scattered pink streaks, with two full shoulder length strands of her hair framing her face.Her purple eyes with a mauve shade with dark, blue colored angled eyebrows wearing a red inmate jumpsuit.

"Wait… that’s Kaina Tsutsumi—Lady Nagant! But why are they visiting her?"

The woman sat down across the glass and smiled softly. "It’s been a while, Seol."

Seol Hee’s voice trembled. "Yes, it has, Mama."

End Of Chapter.

Chapter 50: School Festival Arc:Kaina Tsutsumi and Teams For The Festival

Notes:

So I wanted to make Luna snow's backstory a bit different than her 616 backstory and add a bit more tragedy to lady Nagant's story.

Chapter Text

Bowsette sat in stunned silence, trying to process what she had just heard.

“Who are these two?” Kaina asked, her voice soft but inquisitive.

“They’re my friends,” Seol replied, glancing at Elijah and Bowsette.

Kaina offered a weak smile. “I see. Our last conversation left you uneasy—”

“No, it’s not that,” Seol interjected, her voice tinged with hesitation. “It’s… about my father.”

Kaina sighed deeply, her expression turning somber. “I understand. I’ll start by saying I don’t know if your father is alive, but I hope he is. His name was Kija Himura, but you may know him by his hero name—”

Elijah’s eyes widened in recognition. “Night King?”

Kaina nodded. “Yes. He is..was one of the brightest parts of my life. We were together when I was a pro hero. Married. And when I found out I was pregnant with you, Seol was happy.When I was going into labor, he dropped everything—his interview, his responsibilities—just to be at the hospital.”

Seol’s expression darkened, her hands curling into fists. “Then why did you both give me away?”

Kaina’s face filled with regret, her gaze dropping to the table. “It was to protect you. When I was arrested and sent here, your father knew most people weren’t aware of our relationship—or that we had a child. To keep you safe, he made the hardest decision of his life.”

Seol shot to her feet, her voice shaking with anger. “If he really loved you, if he loved me, why hasn’t he visited you? Why hasn’t he tried to find me?”
Kaina’s eyes darted to the camera monitoring their interaction before returning to her daughter. “Every so often, I receive a single flower—a blue hyacinth. It’s my favorite. There’s only one person who knows that.”

The buzzer signaling the end of their visit suddenly rang, cutting off Kaina’s words. Reluctantly, she rose to her feet.

“Mama, wait—” Seol called out, her voice cracking.

Kaina turned back one last time, her face softening. “Hearing you call me ‘Mom’ fills my heart, Seol. I promise you, your father cares about you. He hasn’t forgotten either of us.”
With that, Kaina disappeared through the door, escorted by guards. The trio sat in silence for a moment before making their way back to the dorms. At the entrance, Seol bowed deeply to Elijah and Bowsette.

“Thank you both for coming. I’m sorry if it got uncomfortable—”

Bowsette waved her hands quickly. “No! It wasn’t any trouble at all. I should be the one apologizing. I thought you were trying to take Eli-kun.”
Seol’s lips twitched into a faint smile. “No, we’re just friends. We actually worked together at Baiken’s internship.”

At the mention of Baiken, both Elijah and Seol flinched, a haunted look crossing their faces.

“Are you two okay?” Bowsette asked, her concern evident.

“The first rule of Baiken’s internship: we don’t talk about Baiken’s internship,” Elijah replied, quivering.

“Why is Seol crying?” Bowsette pressed.

Seol wiped her eyes dramatically. “Second rule of Baiken’s internship.”

“(What did she do to you guys?)” Bowsette wondered, horrified.

“I imagine it's a surprise to find out about my real mother.When I ask my adopted parents, they didn't know much.When I was old enough, I had a DNA test and found out my mom was her.I went to go visit her when I was 14 at first”said Seol.

Flashback…

The cold steel doors of Tartarus Prison loomed large in front of Seol Hee as she adjusted her scarf against the biting wind. Her heart pounded in her chest, each step up the gray stone path growing heavier, more uncertain. Fourteen years of unanswered questions, vague memories, and the gaping hole in her heart had led her here. Today, for the first time, she would meet her mother.

The guard escorted her through the stark halls, the sound of her sneakers echoing faintly. Her fingers clenched and unclenched nervously. Was she ready? What would she say? What if her mother didn't recognize her?

When they reached the glass room, the door creaked open, and Seol Hee stepped inside. Seated at the far end of the room was a woman in an orange jumpsuit, her posture stiff, her indigo hair streaked with pink. Despite her weary appearance, the woman’s sharp, almond-shaped eyes locked onto Seol Hee the moment she stepped inside.

Time seemed to freeze. The woman's lips parted in disbelief, and her hands, trembling, moved to her mouth.

“Seol…?” The name escaped her like a breath she’d been holding for years. Tears welled in her eyes, spilling down her cheeks as recognition bloomed across her face.

Seol Hee stood frozen, her own vision blurring as a flood of emotions washed over her. She had spent countless nights imagining this moment, yet nothing could have prepared her for the overwhelming connection she felt.

“Seol?” she whispered, her voice cracking.

Seol Hee froze, her breath catching in her throat. Tears welled in Kaina’s eyes, spilling over as she stood, her movements hesitant and unsteady.

The name felt foreign on Kaina’s lips, yet it carried the weight of longing and regret. “I….You’ve gotten so big.”

Seol Hee’s chest tightened, tears streaming down her cheeks as the emotions she had buried for so long surged to the surface.

“I’m Seol Hee,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I… I think you’re my mom.”

Kaina stepped closer, her shackled hands trembling as they reached out instinctively, only to stop mid-air.

“I am,” Kaina choked out, her voice thick with emotion. “I’m your mother. I… I never stopped thinking about you.”

Back to the Present….

“Since then, I've been meeting with her here and again”said Seol.

“Do you know why your mother-”

“She got into a heated argument with another hero and accidentally killed him.We don't know the full story”said Seol Hee.

“I don't know about that? I always hurt rumors about what happened? Not to mention on the web, there was always this rumor that some of the heroes were sent on missions to kill other heroes or criminals.And that lady Nagant was a” Elijah began to say but then there's the looks on both their faces”Then again it's just a conspiracy but there's possibly some truth to it.”

“But again thank you for being there, it really means a lot to me”said Seol that she walked inside the dorm.

Later that night, Elijah heard a knock on his dorm door. When he opened it, Bowsette stood there, wearing a cozy sweater dress. Her cheeks were flushed as she quickly stepped inside.

“I… I wanted to apologize,” Bowsette began, fidgeting with her hands. “I got jealous earlier, and I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay—”

“No, it’s not!” Bowsette blurted, cutting him off. “So… go ahead and hit me!” She squeezed her eyes shut, bracing herself.

Elijah smirked, leaning closer. “Okay.”

Bowsette waited, eyes shut tight, until she felt something soft press against her lips. Startled, her eyes flew open to find Elijah kissing her gently. When he pulled back, his eyes were calm and reassuring.

“Do you really think I don’t get jealous too?” Elijah asked softly. “It’s fine, Bowsie. Really.”

Bowsette’s lips twitched into a pout as a new idea formed in her mind. With cheeks burning, she grabbed his hands and placed them on her chest. Elijah’s face immediately flushed scarlet, and Bowsette’s voice wavered.

“You mentioned this once… so consider it… part of my apology.”

They stood frozen, both too embarrassed to move,Elijah then squeezed twice hearing a moan in response. Bowsette abruptly pulled his hands away, her own face now as red as a tomato. “A-apology over! I-I’m going back to my room now!” she stammered before bolting out the door.

As Elijah stood there, staring after her, only one thought ran through his mind: “She wasn’t wearing a bra… Ace.”

Bowsette sat on her bed”It should be fine right? But yeah I just need to focus on my extra classes and the school Festival…Seol only sees him as a friend so I don't have to worry about her…Ferisha on the other hand.”

The next day after class….

“The school Festival is one month away! We don't have much time. We should start making decisions right now”said Iida.

“First, we need to pick out a song, right? What should we do?”Hagakure asks.

“I don't know much about popular music, so I'll leave it up to you guys” said Ojiro.

“Same”Shoji agreeing.

“If we're doing this for everyone, shouldn't it be a song that most people know so they dance and sing along with us?”Kaminari asks.

Elijah was thinking when he saw Jiro thinking as well.

“With those things in mind, I think I know what would make sense,What about you,Hee,Eli-kun?”Jiro asks.

“A hardcore four- on- the-floor club song ain't really my style but I think I know of one” Elijah smirks.

“I'm fine with whatever you two decide”said Seol.

“EDM would probably be the most popular but you guys want to play instruments, right?”Jiro asks.

some of class 1-A looked at her questionably.

“Anyone play bass or drums or anything?”Jiro asks.

“By the dodgy look on their faces, that's a no”said Elijah.

“Okay.Well, I'd say that drums are the backbone of any band.I'd take on the responsibility myself but, honestly, I mean guitar, not percussion”said Jiro.

“Same here.Teaching a beginner to play an instrument while practicing yourself would be impossible in just one month”said Jiro.

“Hey! Didn't you accidentally admit your parents made you take music classes when you were a kid?”Kaminari asks Bakugo.

“Huh?”said Bakugo.

“Awesome! Take a seat and show us what you've got” said Sero with drumsticks in hand.

“In your dreams, moron”said Bakugo as he turned to walk away.

“Right, I bet the drums are too hard for ya” Sero teased.

Elijah smirks“Sero,Sero,Sero,it's not that at all.It's just that the wanker doesn't want to step up to me when it comes to playing-” he began to say but then was greeted by the sight of Bakugo taking the drumsticks out of Sero’s hands.

He then showed that he was great at playing the drums, then stopped and looked at the class”Well?”

“Not bad” said Elijah while the other students were in awe.

“But there's no way I'm making a fool of myself on that stage-”

“Yes because playing on stage is more embarrassing than having a muzzle on your mouth and being chained up in front of a bunch of people at a stadium.Just admit you don't want to compete with me because you know I'll do better than you”Elijah teased.

“Listen here,Brit, don't you know what's gonna happen? I'll spell it out for you.We're doing this because we want to let other courses blow off some steam, right? But we're the ones who cause their stress to begin with.So we're just trying to make ourselves feel better.”Bakugo turns to the direction of his classmates”This is gonna seem like a slap in the face from the people they can't stand.”

“Don't be rude.We're just trying to help!”Hagakure retorts.

“Yeah, that' kinda is what I'm talking about”said Bakugo.

“(I hate to admit it but he has a point)” Elijah thought.

“I see.Perhaps he’s right.Did we think this through enough?” Iida asks.

“You didn't help us decide what to do, so you can't complain now”said Todoroki.

“Doesn't all this make you mad? It's not like we wanted villains to show up and ruin things for everybody.Why do we have to be concerned about how these weeklings feel? Stop trying to get on their good side! We're not here to make friends, we’re here to fight! If we're gonna put on a show, then we can hold anything back! Let's murder everyone in U.A. with killer music!”Bakugo shouts.

“Bakugo!!” everyone shouts except for Todoroki and Elijah who just nod in approval.

“Your reasoning is scary, but if you'll do it, who cares!”Hagakure shouts.

“Don't ignore the other part!”Bakugo shouts.

“He has a point”said Elijah.

Everyone stopped and then looked at Elijah”Did you just agree with him?”

“It's known to happen”said Elijah.

“Ha! Looks like the-”
“I mean he's still a wanker with a hot mom, speaking of which? How’s Mitsuki doin’ these days?”Elijah asks.
Bakugo gets mad”I'll kill you!!”

Elijah playfully runs away with Bakugo chasing after him.

Few minutes later…

“This might help.As part of my classical education, I've studied the piano since I was a little girl.I'd be happy to play in the band if you need me”said Yaoyorozu.

“Oh,yeah! Momo will totally Rock on keyboards!”said Ashido.

“I mean we got to have someone on synth for the dance music”said Jiro.

“Yeah, she’d be perfect for the gig”said Elijah.

“Then I'll do my best!”said Yaoyorozu.

“Aw,I wanted all the girls to get together for a big choreo but you'll still look cute up on stage”Ashido groans.

“Base is my specialty, so now we need someone else on vocals with Eli-kun and Hee.”

“Does that mean everyone else is on dancing?”Ojiro asks.

“Hmm…I'm not really sure if that's enough to get the audience excited”said Iida.

“In that video I showed earlier--”

Ashido steps in”We’ve gotta have special effects!”said Ashido.

“Exactly”said Todoroki.

“I'll leave that part of you guys“said Elijah as he put in his headphones.

He listens to his music until he saw the others to come in, the class explained what they were doing and then, Elijah took off said headphones when he hears”Who else will be on vocals?”

Everyone chimed in with their own choices until Elijah steps up to Jiro“You're not going to be on vocals too?”

“What? But you and Hee should be enough”said Jiro.

“Come off it, mate.You and I both know you're great on vocals”Elijah smiles.

Jiro blushes“Uh,I’m not that-”

Elijah was then handed a mic by Hagakure”Wow look what just showed up? A mic.”

Jiro sighs, takes a deep breath, then exhales. She sings a little surprising most would never hurt her sing before.Elijah smirks while the other is amazed and how beautiful her voice is.

“Really just need another person on guitar” said Elijah.

“Oh,yeah! Pick me! It's so cool to play instruments! ”Kaminari shouts.

“Let me strum!”Mineta shouts.

“Sorry gents, I had already decided on Tokoyami being on guitar”Elijah said apologetically.

Mineta cries dramatically”What?!”

“Yeah, he's really good”said Elijah.

“Prove it!” they both shout.

Elijah went to his room, brought out a guitar, and handed it to Tokoyami who plays it like a Pro.

“It's like that riff is speaking directly to my heart”said Kaminari.

“You can play? Why didn't you say anything?” Shoji asks.

“I put down the axe when I was bested by the F chord”said Tokoyami.

“It's hard for beginners”said Elijah.

After 1:00 in the morning…

“That's it. Everybody’s roll in the festival has been decided!”Iida with bags under his eyes.

“The band team which will be yours truly,Jiro,Momo,Seol,Tokoyami,and Bakugo”said Elijah.

“The effects team is Todoroki,Kaminari,Sero,and Koda”said Yaoyorozu.

“And the dance team will be everyone else.Rest up, guys! Starting tomorrow, we're hard at work!”said Iida.

“Yeah” said everyone.

End Of Chapter.

Chapter 51: School Festival Arc:Swapping places

Chapter Text

Saturday arrived, and everyone was busy preparing for the upcoming festival.

With Elijah and Jiro...

Jiro and Elijah sat cross-legged in the classroom, scribbling down ideas for songs.

"So, what do you think of this one?" Jiro asked, sliding a sheet of notes toward Elijah.

Elijah scanned the paper, nodding thoughtfully. "This could work for the opening. But for the second song... I was thinking something from 007-”

Just on the door Creeks open with Bowsette picking your head through.

“Hey, would it be possible to borrow Eli-kun?”she asks sweetly.

Jiro smiles“It's fine.We were just about to take a break.”

Before Jiro could respond, the door creaked open, and Bowsette peeked inside.

"Hey, would it be possible to borrow Eli-kun for a bit?" she asked sweetly, her golden eyes shining with innocence.

Jiro chuckled. "Go ahead. We were about to take a break anyway."

Elijah followed Bowsette out into the hallway, and the two strolled through U.A., casually chatting. As they rounded a corner, they spotted Mirio, Izuku, and Eri.

Bowsette approached Eri with a warm smile. "Hey there, Eri. How are you?"

"Hello," Eri said softly, clutching Izuku's hand.

Izuku gestured to her. "Eli-kun, this is Eri."

Before Elijah could greet her, a large dinosaur skeleton prop loomed around the corner, startling both Izuku and Eri.

"Ah, sorry!" Tetsutetsu from Class 1-B grinned from behind the prop. "Hey, it's Midoriya, Koopa, and Hendrix from Class A!"

From behind the skeleton, Neito Monoma appeared, smirking as usual. "Why am I not surprised? Wandering around like you’ve got nothing to do while the rest of us hustle. Typical Class A."

Izuku crouched down to Eri's level. "Eri, are you okay?"

Eri nervously nodded. "I thought it was that dragon from before."

Bowsette chuckled softly. "Ah, you mean Ryukyu. She’s a hero. That was just her quirk."

Monoma continued, clearly unimpressed. "Ignoring me now? How rude. I heard Class A is doing a concert for the festival. Cute, but honestly, Class B's stellar play will easily outshine—"

"Eri, look over there!" Bowsette pointed suddenly.

Eri turned, following her gaze. Elijah caught on, giving a slight nod. A faint zap of electricity sparked from his hand, knocking Monoma unconscious.

Bowsette smirked. "Looks like it got away."

"What exactly are you guys doing for the festival?" Elijah asked.

“So what are you guys doing?”Elijah asks.

“We're doing Romeo and Juliet and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Return of the King.It's a completely original play written by us.Sorry about Monoma.Kendo isn't around, so there's no one to keep him in mind” said Yosetsu,picking him up.

“That's weird, the two of them typically show up as a set”said Izuku as he looked around for Kendo.

“Well she's off preparing for the beauty pageant right now, so-”

“Beauty what?”Izuku and Elijah asks.

“It's kinda funny.She didn't even mean to enter” he explained.

“Monoma is still right, though.We're pullin’ out all the stops” said Tetsutetsu as they walked away.

“Sorry ‘bout that,Eri,U.A.’s great but every place has its downside, I guess”said Mirio.

“Mr.Aizawa didn't say anything about there being some kind of beauty pageant.I would have liked to have entered it”Bowsette pouts.

“Too late now”said Elijah.

“But you know who's really getting hard to win this time?”Mirio asks.

Elijah raised an eyebrow. "Nope."

“Not a clue”Bowsette added.

“No idea” said Izuku.

“Last year's runner up! The big three's best girl,Nejire Hado”Mirio answers.

Mirio took them to go see her where Nijire was floating in the air wearing a teal blue dress with a white top that showed off her arms and a bit of her chest which made Izuku blush,Elijah smirk but then turned away when his Spider Sense Tangled and quickly turned away as Bowsette glared at him.

Nijire then notices them”Hey, hey! What's Eri? Hey girl! Why ya here? For funsies?”

Elijah then saw his cousin Hakeem walk over to him”What are you guys doing here?”

“We should put Nejire in something that skews cute instead of sexy” said Yuyu, holding a purple dress.

“Yeah, that cost her last year” said another student.

“You've got a flashy quirk and you're so nice! and your body is so bou..bou-”

“Balanced, hard to believe you only got second place”said Bowsette.

“Yeah, listen to this! Are you listening? Every year, I lose the same girl! She's just too amazing.The beauty pageant Queen,Bibimi Kenranzaki from support course class 3-g!”Nejire explains.

“She sounds incredible” said Izuku.

“This year's path of the stacked.Kendo gain some underground fans thanks to that commercial, so she's a real contender.And of course,Hado won't be holding back.Just thinking about performing in front of all those people, it sounds like a nightmare”Amajiki holds his stomach”Imagining it makes me nauseous.”

“At first, the only reason I entered was because Yuyu told me to but turns out, it's lots of fun! I wanna crush it! That's why, this year, I'll definitely come in first! It's my last chance”Nijire smiles.

“You can do it”said Mirio.

“She's definitely going to win it”said Hakeem.

Mirio and Deku continue to give Eri a tour while Elijah and Bowsette go their own way.The two were eating lunch together in the cafeteria.

“So, how's everything with the dance group?”Elijah asks.

“It's going good.Ashido’s a really good teacher.But that reminds me… to your parents know that we're dating?“Bowsette asks.

"How's dance practice going?" Elijah asked between bites.

"Great! Ashido’s a good teacher. Speaking of... do your parents know we're dating?" Bowsette asked casually.

Elijah grinned. "Yeah. Mum had a feeling. Pops didn’t mind. What about yours?"

Bowsette hesitated, her eyes darting away. "Mama knows... but Daddy doesn’t."

Elijah blinked“You didn't tell your dad about us?”

“He wasn't exactly thrilled about me going to move to the U.A…I was afraid if you found out we were dating… he might have wanted to… kill you”said Bowsette.

Elijah laughed and grabbed her phone. "Let's fix that."

"Wait, no!"Bowsette protest.

“Sweetie?”Bowser asks.

"Hi, Mr. Koopa. Elijah here. Bowsette and I have been dating for a few months. Bye." Elijah hung up, grinning.

Bowsette froze. "What if—"

Her phone rang. She answered nervously. "Hi, Daddy... oh... okay... really? I’ll tell him."

She hung up, blinking in surprise. "He said he's fine with it. But he wants you over for dinner after the festival."

Elijah shrugged. "See? Nothing to worry about."

"The problem is... remember my cousin, Boosette?"

Elijah's eyes widened. "Oh no... her?"

Flashback…

A warm summer breeze rustled the leaves in the backyard of the Hendrix home, where Elijah Hendrix and Izuku Midoriya sat cross-legged under the shade of a large oak tree. The two boys had been playing hero games all afternoon, their laughter echoing through the yard.

Elijah, his dark curls bouncing with every movement, spun a plastic spider-web shooter on his finger. "Oi, Midoriya! Bet you can’t beat my record on the training course!"

Izuku grinned, freckles lighting up his cheeks. "You're on!"

As they set off toward the obstacle course set up by Bowsette, a chilling breeze swept by, and the temperature seemed to dip.

"Oi... you feel that?" Elijah stopped in his tracks, narrowing his eyes.

Izuku shivered and glanced around nervously. "M-maybe it’s just the wind?"

Suddenly, from behind the oak tree, a ghostly figure emerged with pale skin, long white hair, and piercing red eyes. It was Boosette, Bowsette's mischievous cousin. She hovered a few feet above the ground, her trademark smirk painted across her face.

"Boo!" she yelled, her voice echoing unnaturally.

Both boys screamed and jumped, tumbling over one another. Elijah scrambled to his feet, heart pounding. "Oi, Boosette! Don’t do that! I nearly lost my soul!"

Izuku caught his breath, his hands trembling. "She scared me half to death!"

Boosette floated down gracefully, giggling. "Awww, you two are too easy to spook. But you know... I think a little reward for your bravery is in order." She sauntered closer to Elijah, her red eyes gleaming with playful malice.

"Reward?" Elijah raised an eyebrow. "What are you talkin' abou-"

Before he could finish, Boosette planted a quick kiss on his lips. Elijah’s eyes widened in shock as Izuku gasped, covering his mouth.

"W-what was that for?!" Elijah stumbled backward, touching his lips as his face flushed bright red.

Bowsette, who had been approaching from the side with snacks for the trio, stopped in her tracks. Her eyes narrowed as she watched the scene unfold. "Hey! What are you doing, Boosette?!"

Boosette twirled in the air, laughing. "Oh relax, Bowsie~ It's just a little fun! You can’t blame me if Elijah's cute.Where you about to say it should have been me?"

Bowsette's cheeks turned bright red. "I-I wasn't going to say that!"

Elijah groaned, tugging at his hair. "I can't believe you just did that!"

Boosette winked. "That’s part of the fun, love!"

Years Later...

The late afternoon sun hung low in the sky as Elijah and Izuku waited outside Bowsette’s house, casually leaning against the front gate. Elijah's foot tapped against the pavement as he sighed.

"Oi, she’s takin' forever. You sure we didn’t get the time wrong?" Elijah asked, tossing a pebble between his fingers.

Izuku shook his head. "No, she said to meet her at 4. Maybe she’s just getting ready."

The door creaked open, and Bowsette stepped out onto the porch—but something was different. Elijah's eyes widened as he stared at her hair, which was now dyed bright green, cascading down her back.

“Sorry for the… what's wrong?”Bowsette asks.

Izuku blinked rapidly. "B-Bow-chan? Your hair!"

Elijah stammered, pointing. "When did you decide to go green, Bowsie?!"

Bowsette blinked at them innocently. “What are you guys talking about?”

Izuku pulls out his phone where she sees her reflection.Bowsette’s eyes widened in horror as she grabbed at her hair.

Before either boy could respond, a burst of laughter echoed from above. They all glanced up to see Boosette perched casually on the roof, clutching her sides as she giggled uncontrollably.

Bowsette glared up at her cousin, her face turning red. “You’re so dead, Boosette!”

Boosette stuck her tongue out, playfully kicking her feet over the edge of the roof. “Catch me if you can, Bow!”

Back to the Present….

“I remember her” Elijah groans.

“Going to be over…She's not as bad as she used to be…please come over for dinner?”Bowsette asks.

Elijah sighs”I'll be there.”

Bowsette smiles and kisses him on the cheek”Thank you. c’mon we should probably get back to work for the festival.”

A week later with Bowsette…

Bowsette walked into the classroom with Izuku, her curiosity piqued when she noticed Mina wearing a sharp suit and a pair of sunglasses. A few other classmates stood behind her, mimicking bodyguards.

(When Izuku told me they called him in here, I didn’t expect this...) Bowsette thought, raising an eyebrow.

Mina strode up to Izuku with dramatic flair, resting a hand on his shoulder. "Midoriya, I’ve got bad news," she began, her tone grave. "You’re fired from the dance team."

Izuku yelped in shock, while Bowsette’s eyes widened.

“Oops! Maybe that sounded a little harsh,” Mina quickly added, ripping off the sunglasses and suit to reveal her uniform underneath. "You’ve been scouted by another team! You’re on special effects now."

Izuku blinked in confusion. "It has to be me? I already told Eri I’d be dancing…"

“They wanna make it so Aoyama swung around enough that the whole room lit up” she explained, nervously.

“I'm pretty sure everyone's gonna be able to see him”said Izuku.

“But we don’t have a proper fly system in the gym,” Mina continued. "So they need someone with a power quirk to move him by hand."

Bowsette glanced at Izuku, who looked conflicted. (He really doesn’t want to do it... He promised Eri he’d be on stage.)

At that moment, Aoyama struck a pose. "At the start of the performance, I shall transform from a dancer into a disco ball. It’s the perfect job for moi! Say you’ll help us, Midoriya~!"

"So… I’ll be behind the scenes, where no one can see me," Izuku murmured, clearly disappointed.

"Sorry! I know it feels like all your dance practice will go to waste, but—"

"What if I did it?" Bowsette interjected, stepping forward and catching everyone’s attention.

“Bow-chan…” Izuku started, looking at her in surprise.

“Actually, that could work!” Kirishima exclaimed. “She could fly him around in her shell! That’s way cooler than just moving him with a rope!”

"But Bowsette, what about your dancing?" Izuku asked, concerned.

Bowsette placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder and smiled. “It’ll be fine. As long as you put on a good show for Eri, that’s what matters.”

Izuku nodded, his determination rekindled. "I will."

The room erupted in cheers, with Mina clapping enthusiastically. "Bowsette saves the day! Alright, let’s get to work, people!"

The class would have practice in meetings similar to this everyday after class.Bowsette was training with Elijah helping her.

The class dove into practice every day after school, each team perfecting their parts for the festival. Bowsette spent her time training, with Elijah helping her refine her moves.

“How’s the band coming along?” Bowsette asked, taking a breather after a particularly tough drill.

Elijah smirked, leaning against the wall. “Four words: Bakugo. Is. A. Wanker. Other than that, it’s going great.”

Bowsette chuckled. "Yeah, I can imagine why working with him might not be ideal."

Elijah tilted his head, watching her thoughtfully. “Are you sure you’re okay about not being on the dance team anymore?”

Bowsette shrugged, picking up a towel to dab at her sweat. “I’m fine. As long as Izuku can keep his promise to Eri, that’s what’s important.”

Elijah lay down on the ground beside her as she dropped to do push-ups again. Without warning, he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

She froze mid-push-up, eyes wide. "What was that for?" she asked, flustered.

Elijah smirked, resting his head on his hand lazily. "Just ’cause. Now quit slacking and get back to work."

He followed the comment with a playful slap on her rear, making her yelp.

“Elijah!” she shouted, her face flushing red.

"Alright, alright," he said, laughing as he rolled away to avoid her swiping hand. "No need to get all violent!"

Despite herself, Bowsette found her lips curling into a smile. “You’re impossible.”

“Yeah, but you love me anyway,” Elijah teased, sitting up to watch her return to her drills with renewed energy.

“You're lucky that I love you”said Bowsette.

“Yeah I..” Elijah's eyes widen”Oh.”

Then the realization hit her like a truck. ")Did I just think I love him out loud?!)"

Her face turned a deep crimson as she awkwardly muttered, “Uh, I just remembered something for the festival—I’ll be right back!”

Before Elijah could say anything, Bowsette bolted, leaving him behind with a puzzled expression and a faint chuckle.

End of chapter.

Chapter 52: School Festival Arc:Bowsette vs Gentle Villian

Chapter Text

The dining area buzzed with the usual energy of the U.A. dorms as students mingled and chatted. Elijah scanned the room, his eyes darting around in search of someone. Not spotting Bowsette, he sighed and made his way toward Uraraka, who was pouring herself a cup of tea.

“Hey, Uraraka, have you seen Bowsette?” Elijah asked, his voice tinged with mild frustration.

Uraraka paused, thinking for a moment. “Hmm… I haven’t seen her all day. Did you try asking Deku?”

“Yeah, he hasn’t seen her either,” Elijah replied, running a hand through his hair. “I guess I’ll just talk to her another time.”

As Elijah turned to leave, Bowsette’s signature shell suddenly flew into the room, landing softly on the couch. She emerged from it with a relieved sigh, stretching as if shaking off fatigue.

“Phew… Hey, Izuku—” Bowsette began, only to pause when she noticed Izuku muttering furiously to himself while staring at his phone.

“All Might had an item, All Might had an item… I’m such a failure for not knowing…” he mumbled, completely lost in his thoughts.

"(Oh no, he’s in fan mode again…)" Bowsette thought, nervously smiling at the sight.

“Hey, Deku, aren’t you going to try some of Momo’s yummy tea?” she asked but freaked out a little when she saw him.

Izuku didn’t respond, his muttering continuing unabated. Bowsette sweat-dropped, turning to Uraraka for help.

“Don’t mind him, Uraraka,” Bowsette said with an awkward laugh, waving off Izuku’s peculiar behavior.

Uraraka chuckled and shrugged. “By the way, Hendrix-kun was looking for you earlier,” she mentioned casually.

“O-oh, was he?” Bowsette stammered, her face flushing slightly. “I’ll, uh… I’ll just go find him later.”

Her nervous tone didn’t go unnoticed by Uraraka, who raised an eyebrow but decided not to press further.

Bowsette’s attention drifted back to Izuku’s phone just as his thumb accidentally clicked on a video. Both of their eyes widened when the sound began to play.

“Gentle video. Dearest viewers, do you drink different types of tea for different occasions?” a man’s refined voice echoed from the device. “Whenever I prepare my personal kettle...”

“A video… about tea?” Bowsette blinked, puzzled.

“That’s perfect timing!” Uraraka exclaimed, startling Izuku. She handed him a cup of Momo’s tea and grabbed another for Bowsette. “Here, give this one a try!”

The video continued as a smooth, sophisticated man spoke on screen with a cup of tea next to him.

“This particular fine blend is called Royal Flush. Whatever could that name imply, I wonder?” the man said in a theatrical tone.

A soft, feminine voice replied from off-camera, “That your discriminating taste sets you apart from the rest of the world?”

The man on screen then appeared fully, capturing everyone’s attention. His appearance was strikingly refined and eccentric: slicked-back hair with a single curl falling over his forehead, a perfectly groomed handlebar mustache, and a medium-length beard. Thick black eyeliner, seemingly applied by hand, framed his intense eyes.
His outfit was equally extravagant—a dark purple jacket with oversized collars and coattails, loose pinstriped pants, two belts, and a woolly scarf. Purple gloves adorned his hands, and he leaned casually on a cane as he addressed his audience.

“Be sure to stay tuned, my dear viewers,” he said with a dramatic flourish. “My next video is an alarm—not just to my faithful followers, but to all of society. Try to contain your anticipation until then.”

The video ended, leaving Bowsette, Izuku, and Uraraka in an awkward silence.

“Well… that was… something,” Bowsette finally said, her tone laced with confusion and intrigue.

Uraraka tilted her head, clearly unimpressed. “That was short. Not much of a video, huh?”

Izuku snapped out of his daze, his expression shifting to recognition and excitement. “That’s Gentle!”

“Gentle?” Uraraka repeated. “Is he famous? People don’t seem to talk about him much.”

“I guess you could say he’s infamous,” Izuku explained, rubbing the back of his neck. “He’s a villain who uploads videos of himself doing stunts and making social commentary. He’s not like the League of Villains—more… peculiar.”

Bowsette raised an eyebrow. “A villain who critiques tea and society? That’s definitely a first.”

Izuku nodded, the gears in his head turning. “What’s crazy is that he’s been making these videos for years and hasn’t been caught yet. I wonder what he’s planning next?”

“Hopefully, nothing too crazy,” Bowsette muttered as she took a sip of her tea. Her thoughts began to wander. “Guess you never really know what’s coming.”

A voice chimed in from behind them. “You’re right about that, Bowsie!”

Bowsette froze, her eyes widening. Slowly, she turned to see Jack-O Valentine standing there, dressed casually in U.A. track pants and a black tank top. Her signature mischievous grin stretched across her face as she struck a playful pose.

“Jackie?!” Izuku yelped, nearly spilling his tea.

“When did you get here?!” Bowsette demanded, half-shocked and half-annoyed.

Jack-O waved her hand dismissively. “Well, you said you wanted to talk to me, so I had one of my little minions bring me over here. Stealthy, right?” She winked, clearly proud of herself.

“You’re unbelievable,” Bowsette groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose. “C’mon, Uraraka, let’s head to my room before she causes more of a scene.”

Minutes Later in Bowsette’s Dorm Room….

Bowsette sat cross-legged on her bed, her face flushed as she recounted the day’s events. Across from her, Jack-O and Uraraka sat wide-eyed, hanging on her every word.

“You told him you love him?!” they both exclaimed in unison, causing Bowsette to hiss at them to lower their voices.

“Shh! Not so loud!” she whispered harshly, her cheeks burning brighter. “Yes… I said it. But I didn’t give him a chance to respond because I—well, I panicked.” She fidgeted nervously, poking her fingers together as her tail flopped around.

Jackie leaned back, crossing her arms. “You can’t keep running from him, Bowsie. It’s not healthy.”

“But… what if he feels the same way?” Uraraka interjected, tilting her head thoughtfully.

Jackie grin returned. “That’s a good point. What’s your name again?”

“Oh! I’m Ochaco Uraraka,” she said, offering a polite smile.

“Nice to meet ya, Ochaco,” Jackie said before turning back to Bowsette with a smirk. “Now listen, Bowsie…The next time you see him you're going to what?”

Bowsette groans”Try not to run away.”

“That's right”Jackie smiles.

After finishing one more rehearsal in the gym, the class headed back to the dorms. Bowsette wandered through the living room, searching for Elijah, but he was nowhere to be found. She sighed, joining the others gathered around Izuku, who was inspecting the rope that would be used for Aoyama’s performance.

“Ah, this rope is so frayed,” Izuku muttered, frowning as he examined it.

“Mon dieu! We put it through so much during practice!” Aoyama exclaimed dramatically. “It’s physical proof of our blossoming friendship!”

“Friendship or not, it’s dangerous to use this in the performance,” Izuku pointed out.

Bowsette stepped forward. “That’s on me. I should’ve noticed it earlier.”

“Yaoyorozu can make you a new one—and maybe some tea while she’s at it,” Kaminari suggested with a grin.

Ashido glared at him. “Yaomomo’s already asleep, and she’s not your personal factory, Kaminari!”

“Hey, people use me as a phone charger all the time,” Kaminari retorted, crossing his arms. “What about Hendrix?”

“His webs won’t work,” Izuku explained. “They only last for an hour or two.”

“I’ll just buy a new rope in the morning,” Bowsette said firmly. “It’s my fault for not catching this sooner.”

“Are you sure?” Izuku asked.

“The performance starts at 10 a.m., and most stores don’t open until 9,” Kaminari pointed out.

“There’s a hardware store 15 minutes from U.A. It opens at 8. Just give me the directions—I’ve got this,” Bowsette replied confidently.

“That’s cutting it close,” Kaminari muttered, but Bowsette was already determined.

The Next Morning...

At 6:30 a.m., Bowsette woke up, brushed her teeth, and got ready for the day. She had a quick breakfast in the quiet kitchen before heading outside for some fresh air. As she wandered the campus, she spotted Izuku and All Might training nearby.

“What are you two up to?” she asked, sipping her coffee as she approached.

“Just working on a new move,” Izuku explained with a sheepish smile. “I’ve never seen you up this early, Bo-chan.”

“Usually, I’m not,” she admitted, shrugging. “But since I’m up, mind if I join in for a bit?”

“Of course,” All Might said with a nod.

7:49 a.m.

After finishing her impromptu training session, Bowsette raced to the hardware store. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the specific rope she needed—it was a specialty item. The clerk directed her to another store, costing her precious time.

8:14 a.m.

Bowsette finally found the rope and began her return to U.A. As she hurried down the street, she suddenly stepped into the path of two people emerging from a nearby house.

“Dear me!” the man exclaimed in surprise.

“I’m so sorry!” Bowsette apologized, stepping back quickly.

“You must be more careful,” the man said, adjusting his coat. “You nearly ruined the aftertaste of the Gold Tips Imperial! A travesty I could not bear.”

Bowsette blinked, unsure how to respond. “Uh… okay?”

“Come, honey,” the man said to his companion, a petite girl with a camera.

“Honey? Oh, yes! That’s me. Honey!” the girl said enthusiastically, following him.

Bowsette watched them head back toward the house, her curiosity piqued. “Gold Tips Imperial… isn’t that the tea Yaomomo always drinks?” she muttered, glancing at the building. “Must be some fancy café…”

As she turned to leave, the man suddenly walked back toward her with an exaggerated flourish.

“You recognized the tea?” he asked, his tone theatrical. “Ah, a young woman of refined taste. It’s always a pleasure to meet a fellow connoisseur.”

“Um… well, my mom and a friend introduced me to it,” Bowsette said hesitantly. “(Why does his voice sound so familiar?)”

“How delightful,” the man said, smiling. “You must have a wise mother and an excellent friend.”

“Y-Yeah… I’m lucky like that,” she replied. Then her eyes narrowed. “(Wait a second… this guy—)”

Before she could finish her thought, the man clapped his hands together. “Now, if you’ll excuse me—”

“Hold on!” Bowsette called, stepping forward.

The man paused, turning back slowly.

“That tea is part of your ritual, isn’t it?” Bowsette asked, setting down her bags.

The man’s eyes widened slightly. “Ritual? Whatever could you mean?”

“A friend showed me a video of yours,” she said firmly.

“La Brava, it seems we’ve been recognized,” the man said, removing his mask with a dramatic gesture.

Bowsette’s heart sank. “You can’t do this! I don’t care what you’re planning, but I won’t let you go anywhere near our school!”

8:33 a.m.

“Well, aren’t you a perceptive young lady?” Gentle said, his refined demeanor unchanged.

“(Just my luck—no one’s around, and there aren’t any hero agencies near U.A. I can’t count on backup. I’ll have to handle this myself…),” Bowsette thought, bracing herself.

“La Brava,” Gentle said, “there’s been a slight change of plans. From this moment on, no matter what, don’t stop filming!”

“Oh, I’m all over it, Gentle!” La Brava exclaimed. “But… are you really going to fight here in the street? What about your master plan?”

“My dearest viewers!” Gentle declared, casting off his jacket. “Try not to be so dazzled as your favorite scoundrel shows off his talents! Gentle Criminal, at your service!”

“(Not cool at all),” Bowsette thought grimly. “I won’t let you do this!”

She lunged at him, but suddenly it felt like she was pushing against an invisible wall.

“I conjured a barrier as I cast off my coat!” Gentle explained. “My Quirk is Elasticity. I bestow its properties to anything I touch—even the air itself. Gently Rebound!”

Bowsette was flung backward, landing hard.

“I abhor using violence to solve my problems,” Gentle said calmly.

“Yeah, but that move was intense!” La Brava said, her camera trained on him.

Bowsette gritted her teeth and stood. “I don’t care what tricks you’ve got up your sleeve. I’m not letting you anywhere near U.A.!”

“Sorry to cut and Run but The Show Must Go on!” Gentle shouts as he runs away along with LA Brava.

“Apologize by not going to my school!”Bowsette shouts, running after them.

“Clever girl, but no such luck for you” Gentle then jumps back, touching the road”Gentle trampoline!”

Bowsette felt the road become all robbery and it sent her upwards into the sky but she quickly recovers by getting into a shell and flies towards him.

“When I was a student, I too, worked hard to put on social events.I'm sure you have feelings invested in this Festival but they can't win against the desires of my mustache and my soul! The scheme is a crucial step towards my becoming a legend..Be a deer and stay out of my way”said Gentle.

before he go any further, she tries to launch herself at him but he's as elasticity to hold her back which almost sends her into the ground.

“I remember where I’ve seen her before.That girl is Bowsette Koopa! She's the one who won the sports festival, she knocked that one boy out with tail and then went crazy on the other one”said La Brava.

“By Jove! Wheat better get out of here post haste” they hop on the elasticity he was creating”We'll carry out the plan before she is able to alert her peers.”

“Hello again my friends, the outrageous scheme that's currently in progress has now been a race against the clock!”said Gentle.

“(Izuku's trying to let Eri enjoy the festival,Jiro and Eli-kun works so hard on their music,I Won't Let You interfere with her hard work!!)”Bowsette activates War God mode which increases her speed hitting Gentle in the back. She then hopped out of her shell,her hair fluorescent red, grabbed his arm, and threw him into a construction site.

“You won't ruin this for my entire School!”Bowsette shouts.

“Dear girl, that's not your decision” said Gentle.

They both crashed to the construction site, as the Smoke Clears,Bowsette looked around for him but didn't see him.

“What an unexpected turn, this will not do it all”

Bowsette turn to see his jacket stuck.

“However, one must keep a sense of humor about such things, mustn't one?” he chuckles.

“Shouldn't you drop the act at this point?!”Bowsette shouts.

“My plan will be a smashing success! This is but a delay! Minor setbacks don't worry a gentleman”said Gentle.

Bowsette glares at him.

“Yes.That's the result of Gentle Criminal!”he said.

“You call yourself a gentleman? You're planning to do something to U.A…What do you want with my school?”Bowsette asks.

“Hmm..You'd like to know my scheme,eh? Ruffian I may be, I am poor you not to confuse me with those foul wretches from the league of villains.You see, I have no pallet for kidnapping or murder or any such rubbish.I simply wished to sneak into your school Festival so the world knows that I am indeed a master Criminal.Now, kindly let me go”said Gentle.

“The campus is on emergency alert, you have to know that.Someone's bound to catch you before you sneak in, which will set off all kinds of alarms.The police will have to get involved, the school Festival would be canceled and you'll end up in jail! Just give up!”said Bowsette.

“Oh–ho,I don't fear being detected.My partner has devised an ingenious way to disable every security sensor.Nothing will be canceled and my dastardly plan will be a success, it's a win-win situation, my girl”said Gentle.

“It's a win for you but a disaster for all the students who put in work at the festival”said Bowsette.

“Fair enough” said Gentle.

“(A rhetorical defeat!)” La Brava thought.

“So, now you're aware of my nefarious scheme.It's been lovely chatting with you but I best bid you goodbye and be on my way”said Gentle.

“The authorities have already been called, Stay put.The police and the pro Heroes will be here any minute now(Pretty sure this is something izuku would do.Please let this Bluff work)”said Bowsette.

“I don't think so.Why all the aftertaste of tea remains, I'll make certain you can't ruin my machinations!” said Gentle as he bounced away.

He started to bounce all around her using the beams with his quirk.

Bowsette uses a fireball from her mouth but he's able to bounce it back at her.Bowsette tries to lunge at him.

“Do pay close attention to what I'm about to say.I can't cancel the effects of my quirk.The things I elasticize return to normal gradually over time.Imagine how the structural integrity of the steel is affected by this unnatural bounce.Oh, and did I mention that I thought it was prudent to remove the bolts from the when I was standing upon? Just think, should this beam full the Havoc it would wreck on anything or anyone below.”

Bowsette’s eyes widen at the realization.

“You're a U.A. student, yes?” gentle got off the beam which was about to fall”If someone's in danger… you'll step in.”

Bowsette caught the beam with both hands but was barely holding it.

“Thought you didn't murder?”Bowsette asks.

“I'm not.I simply wanted to keep you occupied.I plan to bounce the beam out of the way myself if you didn't step in for some reason.I thought you'd simply rush for the chap.You really do have frightening levels of speed and Power. I hate to leave you under such a strain but stay put and bear the pain patiently” he said grabbing a crane’s hook”Help will arrive soon and you'll be saved, I should be done filming by that point”said Gentle.

Bowsette’s anger boiled over as gentle and La Brava launched themselves into the air. Bowsette spits a fireball at them which almost hits but he moves out of the way.Bowsette places the beam down and jumps for another beam and goes inside her shell flying towards them but also keeping an eye on their movement.

“(The fireball was able to knock him off his projectory, in order to recover from that and land, he put two of his bouncy air membranes)”Bowsette jumped on one of them and when she got close, she used one of her spikes and fired it off her shell but she didn't aim at him but one of the membranes which bounce and was able to hit him.

“Are you okay?” la Brava asks, concerned.

Before he can respond,Bowsette tackles both of them grabbing both his arms and lay her on her stomach”Enough, I've got you both, just give up.I'll give you to the police as soon as I can, please don't try to fight back”

“I love you, Gentle” said La Brava, tearfully.

“And I you, my La Brava” said Gentle.

The two stared at each other but then a spark happened was caught Bowsette’s attention and gentle started to get up matching her strength.

“(What's going on? He wasn't this strong earlier)”Bowsette thought.

“Apologies, young lady.”

They both Escape her grasp before she get blank. Bowsette quickly got up to face them”I I abhor using Brute Force, so I usually edit out seeing as such violence.”Gentle walked up to her”It would be best if you took a nap.”

Before she could react, she felt a blow to the back of her neck and almost fell to the ground but continued to stand”I won't let you…You're not the only one”BowsetteThought of all of her friends during the festival and Elijah working on his music”Fighting for someone they love.We're not finish.”

Bowsette fires one of her spikes but he dodges but she immediately rushes at him and so does Gentle.

“Just give up!”Bowsette shouts.

The two class back and forth but then gentle put up his hands”Gently sandwich!”

He uses multiple air membranes to put Bowsette down.

“The thinner the sandwich, the more elegant it's considered.I do regret having to pile on so many layers, but I suppose it can't be helped” as he got on top of the top.”Sacrifices must be made to achieve the dreams of my youth, to make certain history remembers me, this is no longer my ambition I hold simply for myself! Unless I want my name to fade I must persevere.My aims are not so trivial I would abandon them only because you asked.You're a U.A. student, so you must understand what it means to yearn for a goal”said Gentle.

Bowsette broke free”I do.If you understand that, then why would you target the school's Festival? Why would you ruin everything we've worked so hard for?” she asked has she slammed him into a tree but he bounced off of it and clotheslined her.

“Because there's no other way”said Gentle.

Bowsette grabs him by the jacket”It's your dream.So nothing else matters? You'll get the whole event canceled and take away the happiness from a girl who doesn't even know how to smile yet!”

He kicks her but she recovers”I will.If that's what it takes to achieve my goal”said Gentle.

He starts to bounce off the trees faster and faster.

“You may mock me, say that I'm weak, I care not what you think, we will prevail” said Gentle.

Bowsette slams him with a judo throw to the ground”I won't mock you but I can't let you go to U.A.!”

“Defeat her! You have to!” La Brava cries.

Bowsette felt him getting stronger and looked to at La Brava”(It's her Quirk, it's why his powers are increasing.)”

Bowsette could feel Gentle growing stronger with each clash. Her eyes darted to La Brava, watching from the sidelines with unwavering devotion.

“(It’s her quirk… that’s why he’s getting stronger.)” Bowsette realized, gritting her teeth.

Gentle took a step forward, pushing her back with a burst of strength. “Tell me,” he said, his voice calm but weighted, “why do you want to be a hero?”

Bowsette pushed back against him, the fiery determination in her eyes unshaken. “We’re not so different, you and I. But the dream I have—it hasn’t been just mine for a long time.
There are three people I made a promise to…” Her voice grew stronger as she stood her ground. “They make me want to be better. I want to be a hero to help those in need, to show the world there’s always a tomorrow!”

Gentle paused, her words striking a chord within him. “I see…” he murmured, his tone softer.

But hesitation wasn’t enough to stop him. With a burst of power, he tossed Bowsette into a nearby tree. She collided with a heavy thud but pushed herself back to her feet, unwavering.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed La Brava trying to slip away, clutching a laptop tightly to her chest.

“(I can’t let her go!)” Bowsette thought, preparing to intercept.

“Stay focused on me,” Gentle demanded, surging forward with a knee aimed at her stomach.

Bowsette blocked the blow, grunting from the impact. “Do you still think me an unworthy opponent?” Gentle asked, his voice rising. “I will throw away my pride, my honor—everything—to defeat you!”

Bowsette’s fiery aura flared as she responded with an explosive attack. Launching several spikes from her shell to disorient him, she propelled herself forward with blinding speed.

"SKYFALL!" she roared, her fist crashing into Gentle with incredible force.

The ground trembled as Gentle was driven into it, the impact kicking up a cloud of dust. As the dust cleared, he lay motionless on the ground, his chest heaving with labored breaths.

Bowsette stood over him, panting heavily. “You were a worthy opponent… the toughest I’ve faced,” she admitted. “You’re someone I can understand.”

“No!” La Brava’s anguished voice cut through the air. She ran back to Gentle, tears streaming down her face. “Get off him!” she cried, clutching his arm protectively.

Gentle opened his eyes, weak but resolute. “La Brava… you need to go. Save yourself.”

“No! I won’t leave you!” La Brava sobbed, her small hands trembling. “You’re all I have!”

Bowsette watched the scene unfold, her resolve wavering as she saw the raw emotion between them.

“You don’t understand,” La Brava continued, glaring up at Bowsette. “He’s not a villain. He’s just… he’s just trying to be someone the world remembers!”

Gentle weakly reached for La Brava, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Enough… La Brava. We’ve lost. There’s no need to fight anymore.”

As the dust settled, Gentle Criminal stood over Bowsette, his expression unreadable. La Brava clung to his arm, tears streaking her face. With a deep sigh, Gentle knelt down and adjusted Bowsette’s position carefully.

“This must end without further chaos,” he said softly, more to himself than anyone else.

With surprising gentleness, he used his quirk to create an elastic cushion beneath Bowsette, launching her back toward U.A.’s perimeter—carefully, so it would seem like nothing out of the ordinary had happened. “Goodbye, dear girl,” Gentle murmured, watching her disappear from sight.

Bowsette landed near the school grounds, stumbling to her feet just as Hound Dog and Ectoplasm approached, concern evident in their expressions.

“Koopa!” Hound Dog barked. “What happened? You look roughed up. Did you get into a fight?”

Ectoplasm’s tone was more measured but just as serious. “Did you encounter anyone suspicious? Speak up.”

Bowsette, catching her breath, shrugged in her usual laid-back manner, a mischievous smirk tugging at her lips. “Oh, I heard some guy was planning to pull a prank on U.A. We sparred a bit to settle it. Don’t worry, everything’s fine now.”

Before the heroes could press further, their communicators buzzed. A message came through about the situation.

Hound Dog growled, visibly annoyed.“A wannabe streaming villain just turned himself in,”

“So that’s what this was about.”the voice on the line informed them.

Ectoplasm nodded, his voice calm. “Not a big deal, then. Just a misguided attempt at fame.”

As Bowsette turned to leave, Gentle’s shouts“Bowsette Koopa… I, too, once trained to be a hero. This identity, Gentle Criminal, is the result of my failures. I’m in no position to offer advice, but I hope through your actions, you reach those you are hoping to reach. I wish you a bright future.”

Ectoplasm handed her the bags she had left behind. “Here. You’ll need these.”

“Thanks,” Bowsette said, grinning. She ran back toward the school, her injuries aching but her determination intact.

The festival went off without a hitch, and Class 1-A’s performance blew everyone’s minds. The music, the energy, the passion—all of it left the audience in awe. For Bowsette, however, there was still one more thing she needed to do.

After the show, she searched for Elijah, weaving through the backstage crowds. She finally found him near a quiet corner, leaning casually against a wall.

“Elijah,” she called, her voice firm but tinged with nerves.

He turned, surprised to see her. “Bowsie? What’s up?”

She took a deep breath, steeling herself. “I’ve been meaning to tell you something… I love you. I’ve been in love with you for…since we first met. I know you might not feel the same way, and that’s fine. I can wait—or I’ll make you fall for me eventually.” She laughed nervously, then added, “And… I’m sorry for running away the first time I said it. That was cowardly.”

For a moment, Elijah just stared at her, his expression unreadable. Then, he said, “Bowsette, I will never love you.”

Her heart sank, and she looked away in embarrassment—until she noticed him sticking his tongue out at her, a mischievous glint in his eye.

“Wait a second…” Bowsette muttered, realization dawning on her.

Elijah laughed. “You’re too easy to mess with.”

“Jerk!” she exclaimed, punching his arm lightly.

Still chuckling, Elijah’s expression softened. “Bowsette, I love you too. I’ve loved you for a while now. I was just waiting for the right moment to tell you.”

Bowsette’s cheeks turned bright red, but she didn’t hesitate. She grabbed him by the collar and kissed him, a spark of warmth and relief coursing through her.

When they pulled apart, Elijah grinned. “Took you long enough to catch on.”

Bowsette laughed, shaking her head. “Come on, let’s go enjoy the rest of the festival.”

Hand in hand, the two of them joined the bustling crowd, ready to celebrate with their friends and classmates. For Bowsette, the day was proof of her strength—not just as a fighter, but as someone who could stand up for her dreams, her school, and her heart.

Chapter 53: School Festival Arc:Dates And Dinners

Chapter Text

Izuku wandered through the festival grounds, searching for Eri. He’d been tasked with making sure she was enjoying herself, but the little girl seemed to have vanished amidst the excitement. As he turned a corner near one of the quieter walkways, he accidentally bumped into someone, nearly losing his balance.

“Ah! I’m so sorry!” Izuku exclaimed, looking up at the person he’d bumped into.

It was a girl—a stunning girl with long, silky black hair with red highlights and a relaxed demeanor. Izuku couldn’t help but notice the faint glow of her shark-like tail swaying lazily behind her. But something else caught his attention: she was fast asleep, standing upright.

“Wha—wait, is she okay?” Izuku panicked, gently checking her. She seemed fine, just… really tired. Without hesitation, Izuku carefully picked her up. “I-I’ll take her to the nurse’s office!” he muttered to himself, trying not to think about how awkward the situation was.

As he carried her, the girl stirred awake, blinking up at him.

“Huh…? Where…?” she murmured, her eyes locking on Izuku’s.

“Ah! You’re awake! Are you okay?” Izuku asked, setting her down gently. “I, uh… noticed you were asleep and thought you might need some help.”

The girl rubbed her eyes, then stretched lazily, her tail swishing behind her. “I’m fine. Thanks for the lift, though. That was pretty sweet of you.” She tilted her head, studying him closely. “Wait… I recognize you. You’re the cute, nerdy one… Izuku Midoriya, right?”

Izuku’s face turned beet red. “C-cute?!” he stammered, trying to focus anywhere but on her playful gaze.

She chuckled, crossing her arms. “Yep, that’s you. I’m Ellen Joe. Class 1-B.”

“Oh! You’re in Class 1-B?” Izuku said, still flustered but curious now. “I don’t think we’ve really met before.”

“Well, we’re meeting now,” Ellen said with a wink. Her tail flicked behind her as she leaned closer. “Tell you what. Wanna study together sometime? Or maybe go on a date?”

Izuku froze. “A-a-a date?!” he stuttered, his mind racing. He had no idea how to handle this kind of situation.

Ellen laughed at his reaction, pulling a pen out of her pocket. “Here. Call me when you figure it out.” She grabbed his hand and scribbled her number on his palm, then handed him a lollipop. “Keep your sugar levels up, hero.” With that, she waved and walked away, her tail swaying lazily behind her.

Izuku stared after her, his heart pounding. “What just happened…?” he muttered to himself.

“Pretty smooth move, Midoriya.”

Izuku nearly jumped out of his skin, turning to see Jackie leaning against a nearby wall, arms crossed and a mischievous grin on her face.

“W-wait, how long have you been there?!” Izuku asked, panicked.

Jackie struck a dramatic pose. “I saw the whole thing!”

“P-please don’t tell anyone!” Izuku begged, waving his hands frantically.

Jackie smirked, pulling out her phone. “Relax, I won’t say a word.” Then she started texting.

Izuku’s eyes widened. “Wait, what are you doing?!”

“Nothing~” Jackie replied innocently, but Izuku could feel a sense of impending doom.

Meanwhile, Bowsette sat in a classroom, facing a lecture from All Might, Ectoplasm, and Hound Dog.

“Don’t think you made the right call,” Hound Dog growled. “Things weren’t grizzly this time, so the festival’s still going on. But this could’ve gone real bad. You’re a U.A. student with a provisional hero license. You should’ve relied on us to handle him. Your teachers wanna protect this school just as much as you.”

“Yes, sir,” Bowsette replied, bowing her head.

Hound Dog’s tone softened slightly. “Now, put a smile back on your face and beat it.”

Bowsette blinked in surprise.

“The fest is on,” Hound Dog said. “You better enjoy every minute of it.”

Smiling, Bowsette bowed again and left the room. Outside, she found Elijah waiting for her with the smuggest grin she’d ever seen.

“Well, well,” he said, arms crossed. “Miss Never-Gets-In-Trouble finally got in trouble.”

Bowsette flushed. “Shut up, Eli-kun!” she snapped, but her blush gave her away.

He poked her playfully. “You’re so easy to tease.”

Before she could retort, both of their phones buzzed simultaneously. They checked their messages and froze. Jackie had sent them a picture of Izuku talking to Ellen, complete with the caption: “Midoriya’s got game?! Who knew!”

Their eyes went wide.

“Oh, we are definitely finding him.(My boy’s finally becoming a man)” Elijah said, already walking off.

“Absolutely,” Bowsette agreed, following him.

Izuku, meanwhile, was helping his classmates clean up after their incredible performance. Despite the lingering chaos in his head from meeting Ellen, he couldn’t help but smile.

The festival was a success, his friends were happy, and, for once, things seemed to be going smoothly.

Little did he know, Bowsette and Elijah were on their way, armed with questions and teasing smiles.

The festival had finally wound down, and Izuku was headed toward his dorm room, still processing everything that had happened during the day. Between the incredible Class 1-A performance, ensuring Eri had a good time, and… Ellen Joe… his mind was spinning.

As he reached for the door to his room, a firm hand landed on his shoulder.

“Ah!” Izuku flinched and cautiously turned around, only to find Bowsette and Elijah standing there, both wearing mischievous smiles.

“W-we need to talk,” Bowsette said, crossing her arms.

Izuku blinked nervously. “About what…?”

“Oh, don’t play dumb,” Elijah said with a smirk, stepping closer. “You know exactly what. Ellen Joe. The shark girl from 1-B. Jackie sent us the picture.”

Izuku sighed, realizing there was no escaping this conversation. “Okay, okay, fine. She, uh, she kind of… asked me out,” he admitted, scratching the back of his neck, his cheeks flushing red.

Bowsette raised an eyebrow, clearly conflicted. “She asked you out?” she repeated, her tone neutral but her expression giving away her inner thoughts. “But… what about Uraraka?”

Izuku flinched. “U-Uraraka? What about her?”

Bowsette hesitated. She’d seen how Uraraka looked at Izuku, and it didn’t take a genius to figure out her feelings. But before she could say anything, Elijah chimed in.

“Listen, man. Forget about overthinking it. Ellen asked you out, right? So, call her and set up the date,” Elijah said, his tone blunt but encouraging.

“W-what?!” Izuku stammered, waving his hands. “I-I don’t even know if I can—”

“Do it,” Elijah cut him off, grinning.

Bowsette frowned, about to protest. “Wait, Elijah, you can’t just—”

“Ah-ah,” Elijah said, holding up a finger. “Bowsie, you’ve got no room to talk right now. Need I remind you that you got yourself in trouble today? And after class tomorrow, we’ve got a lovely family dinner with your parents and Boosette.”

Hearing the name “Boosette” made Izuku shiver. Memories of her terrifying presence at their last meeting flashed through his mind. “B-Boosette?!”

Bowsette sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of her nose. “Don’t remind me,” she muttered.

Elijah smirked at her before turning back to Izuku. “See? Everyone’s got their challenges. Now go on and call Ellen before you chicken out.”

Izuku hesitated but finally pulled out his phone, dialing the number Ellen had written on his hand. As it rang, he could feel the weight of Bowsette and Elijah’s stares. When Ellen picked up, her cheerful voice on the other end made his nerves spike.

“H-hi, Ellen. It’s, uh, Izuku. Midoriya,” he started, stumbling over his words. “A-about that date… Would you like to go tomorrow after class?”

There was a pause, followed by Ellen’s delighted laugh. “Of course! I’ll meet you by the school gates, okay?”

“Y-yeah! That sounds great!” Izuku said, his heart racing. After they hung up, he turned to Bowsette and Elijah, his face still red.

“There. I did it,” he said.

“Atta boy!” Elijah said with a grin, clapping him on the shoulder.

As Izuku hurried off to his room, Bowsette turned to leave as well, but Elijah grabbed her wrist.

“Nah, Bowsie. You’re not off the hook yet,” he said, his tone shifting to playful but firm.

Bowsette raised an eyebrow. “What are you talking about?”

Elijah crossed his arms, smirking. “You’ve been quite the naughty girl lately. First, running off after confessing you loved me. Then fighting a villain right before the show. Don’t get me wrong, part of me is proud of you, but the other part?”

“What about the other part?” Bowsette asked cautiously, taking a step back.

Elijah’s smirk widened. “The other part thinks you deserve a punishment.”

Before Bowsette could protest, Elijah lunged forward, his hands finding her sides as he started tickling her mercilessly.

“E-Elijah! Stop it! I-I’m sorry!” Bowsette squealed, doubling over in laughter as she tried to squirm away.

“Nope. You brought this on yourself,” Elijah teased, continuing his assault.

“Okay, okay! I’ll behave! Just stop!” Bowsette cried, tears forming in her eyes from laughing so hard.

Elijah finally relented, grinning down at her. “That’s what I thought. Now, come on. We’ve got a big day tomorrow with your family. And maybe after, we can figure out this whole ‘love’ thing, huh?”

Bowsette flushed but managed a small smile. “Yeah… Maybe.”

The two walked off together, the night settling peacefully over U.A. as another day of excitement came to a close.

The Next Day with Izuku….

Izuku Midoriya walked nervously beside Ellen Joe away from the school gate. She looked effortlessly cool, her shark tail swishing behind her, a lollipop in her mouth, and her carefree demeanor putting Izuku in a state of both awe and anxiety.

"So, where are we going?" Ellen asked, glancing at him with a sly smile.

"Uh, well, I thought we could start at the arcade?" Izuku suggested, fidgeting with the straps of his backpack.

Ellen nodded, blowing a small bubble from her gum before it popped. "Sounds fun."

The date started smoothly. At the arcade, Ellen crushed Izuku in almost every game—especially air hockey, where her reflexes were unmatched. But her soft laughter and teasing comments made it clear she was having fun. Afterward, they stopped by a café for snacks, chatting about school, quirks, and even their dreams.

Just as Izuku was starting to feel comfortable, he caught sight of a familiar blonde spiky head peeking out from behind a lamppost. His heart sank when he realized Bakugo, Kaminari, and Mineta were following them.

“Kacchan?!” Izuku whispered, horrified.

Ellen tilted her head, noticing Izuku’s panicked expression. “What’s wrong?”

Izuku forced a nervous laugh. “N-nothing! Just… hold on tight!”

Before Ellen could respond, Izuku grabbed her hand and bolted down the street.

“Oi, Deku! Don’t you dare run, nerd!” Bakugo shouted from behind, giving chase. Kaminari and Mineta followed, Kaminari laughing while Mineta muttered something about how "lucky" Izuku was.

Ellen, who had been caught off guard, couldn’t help but laugh as Izuku carried her in his arms. “Midoriya! What’s going on?!”

“I-I’m so sorry! Just trust me!” Izuku stammered, his face red as he darted through the streets, weaving through alleyways and jumping over obstacles.

By the time they finally stopped, the sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over a quiet park. Izuku set Ellen down gently, panting. “I-I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to ruin our date…”

Ellen, brushing herself off, gave him a warm smile. “Ruin it? Are you kidding? That was the most fun I’ve had in weeks.”

Izuku blinked, stunned. “R-really?”

“Yeah,” Ellen said, sitting on a park bench and patting the spot next to her. “Honestly, I was kind of nervous about this date. But you’ve made it really fun, so… thank you.”

Izuku sat down, his heart racing again—not from running, but from her words. “I’m glad you had fun. And, um… next time, we can do something you like!”

Ellen chuckled, leaning over and pressing a quick kiss to his cheek. “Next time, huh? I’ll hold you to that.”

Izuku turned crimson, his mind short-circuiting for a moment. But he managed to recover, standing up and offering her his hand. “Sh-shall we head back?”

Ellen smiled, taking his hand. “Yeah, let’s go, hero boy.”

Hand in hand, they walked off into the twilight.

With Elijah and Bowsette…

Meanwhile, at the Koopa residence, Bowsette and Elijah stood at the front door. Bowsette was visibly nervous, adjusting her hair and biting her lip.

“You good, Bowsie?” Elijah asked, tilting his head.

“I-I’m fine! Just… my family can be a little… much,” Bowsette said, gulping.

Before she could knock, the door flew open, and Shizuka Marikawa, Bowsette’s mother, appeared in the doorway. She was stunningly tall and curvaceous, her blonde hair cascading down her back, her sleepy hazel eyes glinting with warmth. She wore a snug blue turtleneck sweater and white capris, her presence both comforting and intimidating.

“Elijah! You’re here!” she exclaimed, pulling him into a crushing hug.

Elijah’s face was immediately buried in her chest, muffled sounds of protest coming from him. “Mmmph—Bowsette—help!”

Bowsette quickly yanked him free, her face burning with embarrassment. “Mom! Stop suffocating him!”

“Oh, sorry, sweetie,” Shizuka said with a soft giggle, stepping aside to let them in.

As they entered, Bowser Jr. came sprinting into the room. “Sis!” he called out, grinning—before abruptly kicking Elijah in the shin.

“Hey, what was that for?!” Elijah yelped, hopping on one foot.

“That’s for dating my sister,” Bowser Jr. said smugly before darting off.

“Junior, behave!” Bowsette scolded before sighing. “See what I mean?”

From the dining room, a booming voice called out. “Bowsette! Elijah! Welcome!”

It was Bowser, standing tall and imposing, but his smile was warm as he walked over to greet them. “Glad you could make it. Dinner’s almost ready.”

Before they could respond, another figure entered the room—Boosette. She was casually dressed in a tank top and shorts, her hoop earrings catching the light as she floated closer.

“Well, well, if it isn’t my darling cousin and her boyfriend,” Boosette teased, her ghostly aura adding to her playful smirk.

“Boosette, don’t start,” Bowsette muttered, her cheeks flushed.

“Oh, relax. I’m just teasing. For now,” Boosette said with a wink.

Elijah leaned over to Bowsette and whispered, “This is going to be a long night, isn’t it?”

“You have no idea,” Bowsette muttered back.

As the family gathered around the table, Elijah braced himself for whatever chaos was about to unfold.

Before dinner, Bowsette led Elijah upstairs to her room. As the door clicked shut behind them, Elijah took a moment to look around feeling Nostalgic. The room was exactly as he remembered—bold, vibrant, and distinctly Koopa. Posters of famous heroes adorned the walls alongside framed family photos,the two of them as kids along with Izuku and Jackie, and her bedspread was fiery red with gold accents.

“Still a nice setup,” Elijah said with a smirk, flopping onto a beanbag chair near her desk.

“Thanks,” Bowsette replied, sitting on the edge of her bed. She looked at him, her fiery orange hair glowing softly under the dim light of her bedside lamp. “Do you remember when we first found out we were all going to U.A.?”

Elijah chuckled. “How could I forget? I got pranked you and Izuku.”

Bowsette laughed. “Hey! It was exciting! I mean, after everything we went through to get there? It felt like a dream. And now look at us—provisional licenses, hero training, and… everything else that’s happened.”

She trailed off, her expression softening. Elijah noticed the way her eyes glimmered, a mix of nostalgia and pride.

“You’ve grown a lot, Bowsie,” Elijah said, leaning forward. “You’re not the same girl who used to boss me around back then. Well… you still boss me around, but it’s different now.”

Bowsette snorted. “I can’t help it. It’s part of my charm.”

Elijah grinned, shaking his head. “Yeah, sure it is.”

They sat in comfortable silence for a moment before Elijah added, “You’re tough, stubborn, and a bit bonkers—perfect hero material.”

Bowsette burst out laughing. “I'm only this way 'cause of you and Izuku.”

“Absolutely,” Elijah said which only made Bowsette laugh harder.

As their laughter died down, the mood shifted. Elijah stood and stepped closer to her, their faces mere inches apart. Bowsette felt her heart race as he leaned in, and she tilted her head slightly, ready to close the gap—

“Dinner’s ready!”

Boosette phased through the wall, her mischievous grin plastered on her face. Elijah nearly jumped out of his skin, letting out a startled yelp.

“Boosette!” Bowsette shouted, her face red as she threw a pillow at her cousin.

“Sorry, couldn’t resist,” Boosette said, floating out of the room with a cackle.

Elijah sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “She’s really enjoying this, isn’t she?”

“You have no idea,” Bowsette muttered, dragging him out of the room and toward the dining hall.

Dinner was nothing short of grand. Bowser’s butlers had prepared a lavish feast, with plates piled high with roasted meats, fresh vegetables, and decadent desserts. Bowser sat at the head of the table, his booming laugh echoing as he welcomed everyone to sit.

“Welcome to our home, Elijah!” Bowser said, clapping him on the back so hard that Elijah nearly fell forward. “Now, let’s talk about how classes are going. Everything good? And Bowsette—how’re you holding up after what happened with Sir Nighteye?”

Bowsette straightened her back, a proud smile on her face. “I’ll admit it was tough, but it’s nothing I can’t handle, Daddy! I’m a Koopa, after all!”

Bowser’s eyes filled with tears as he reached for a handkerchief, one of the butlers rushing over to offer a fresh one. “That’s my girl!” he cried, blowing his nose loudly.

“Now,now honey”said Shizuka.

Meanwhile, Bowser Jr. sat on Elijah’s left, kicking his chair lightly. On his right, Boosette floated just close enough to poke his arm.

“Having fun yet?” Boosette whispered with a smirk, elbowing him playfully.

“Loads,” Elijah replied dryly, though he shot her a smirk of his own.

Bowser Jr., meanwhile, was furiously tapping at his game console, groaning in frustration. Elijah glanced over and noticed the kid was stuck on a particularly tough level.

“Need help?” Elijah asked.

“No!” Bowser Jr. snapped, but after a moment of hesitation, he handed the console over. “Fine. But don’t mess it up.”

Elijah grinned, quickly navigating the level and passing it with ease. Bowser Jr. stared in awe before muttering, “Okay, you’re not completely useless.”

“(Without Bowsie around,he's ruthless)I’ll take that as a compliment,” Elijah said, laughing.

Bowsette watched the exchange with a soft smile, feeling her heart swell.

As the evening wound down, Bowsette glanced at the clock and realized how late it had gotten. “Oh no, we’re going to miss curfew!”

Elijah groaned, stretching as he stood. “Guess we better head out, huh?”

“Yeah,” Bowsette said, standing as well. “Thanks for dinner, everyone!”

As they said their goodbyes, Bowser gave Elijah a hearty pat on the back. “You take care of my daughter, alright?”

“Yes, sir,” Elijah replied, grinning.

As they walked out the door, Bowsette leaned closer to Elijah. “Thanks for coming. I know my family can be… a lot.”

“Eh, they’re not so bad,” Elijah said with a shrug. “Well, except Boosette and Junior.”

Bowsette smirked. “She grows on you. Eventually.”

Unbeknownst to Elijah and Bowsette,Boosette had something planned. She smiled to herself, thinking of how to surprise them.

Chapter 54: Boosette’s Surprise Visit

Chapter Text

Elijah sat at Izuku’s desk, leaning back slightly, while Izuku sat on the bed, still processing the events of his date.

“So, how’d the date go?” Elijah asked, smirking.

Izuku scratched the back of his head. “Relatively well… except for the part where I had to run with her because Kacchan, Kaminari, and Mineta decided to tail us.”

Elijah chuckled. “I’m surprised the wanker cared. So, will there be another one?”

“Well, she did ask if we could have lunch together, but—”

Elijah stood up, walked over to Izuku, and rested a hand on his shoulder. “Izuku, we’ve been friends for years, right? So I’m giving you an ultimatum.”

Izuku sighed. “One of your famous ultimatums?”

Elijah grinned. “It may live in infamy, but it’s simple. Either you have lunch with Ellen, or I tell Bowsie it was you who broke her Midnight figure.”

Izuku’s eyes widened in horror. “You swore you’d never tell her!”

“I took the bullet for you back then,” Elijah said with a casual shrug. “But I did say I’d come to collect at some point.”

Flashback…

A ten-year-old Izuku and Elijah were playing in Izuku’s apartment. Izuku was messing around with an All Might figure, while Elijah fiddled with an Axl Low action figure. Then Izuku noticed the beautifully detailed Midnight figure on a shelf.

“He’s got backup!” Izuku declared dramatically, grabbing the Midnight figure.

“Uh, Izuku, I wouldn’t—” Elijah began to warn, but before he could finish, Izuku smashed the figure against a toy truck. Midnight’s head and an arm popped off instantly. The room fell silent.

“That… was Bowsie’s figure,” Elijah whispered.

Izuku took a step back, his face paling. “She’s going to kill me,” he whimpered.

Just then, the door opened, and a young Bowsette walked in, her tail swaying behind her. She was about to speak but froze upon seeing the broken figure. Shadows covered her eyes, her expression unreadable as she walked over and picked up the remains of her precious action figure.

“Who. Did. This?” she asked, an ominous aura surrounding her.

Elijah sighed and stepped forward. “Sorry.”

Without hesitation, Bowsette smacked him across the face with her tail.

“You’re buying me a new one, jerk,” she huffed, storming out of the room.

Izuku looked at Elijah with guilt. “Eli-kun, I—”

“You owe me,” Elijah grumbled, rubbing his cheek. “And one day, I’ll come to collect.”

Back to the Present…

Elijah groaned. “I had to pay with my allowance for that new figure, and she gave me the silent treatment for a week!”

Elijah smirked towards Izuku. “So, what’s it going to be? Have lunch with Ellen or take a hit from Bowsie’s tail?”

“I’ll call Ellen now,” Izuku said, pulling out his phone.

“Wise choice.”

With Bowsette…

Meanwhile, Bowsette had been called to the front of the dorms. When she arrived, she immediately spotted her cousin, Boosette, standing there with her usual mischievous grin. She wore an oversized white shirt, black jeans cropped at the calves, and sneakers.

“Heya, Bow-Bow~” Boosette greeted teasingly.

A tick mark formed on Bowsette’s forehead. “Why are you here?”

Mr. Aizawa stepped up beside them. “Apparently, you left your ID at home, and she came to return it.”

Boosette wiped an imaginary tear. “And I ran all the way here just to give it to you,” she pretended to sob dramatically.

Bowsette snatched the ID from her hand. “Thank you. Now go—”

“Aww, can’t you show me around and introduce me to your friends?” Boosette asked sweetly.

“She did come all this way,” Aizawa pointed out.

Bowsette sighed, crossing her arms. “Fine.”

“Yay!” Boosette cheered.

A few minutes later, Bowsette led her cousin into the dorms, making sure no one was around before stepping inside. “Alright, listen—no disturbing my cla—”

She turned to where Boosette had been standing… only to find her gone.

Bowsette’s eyes widened in panic. She immediately turned and rushed upstairs, heading straight to Elijah’s room. She knocked—no answer. Without wasting time, she ran up to Izuku’s room, barged in, and found both Elijah and Izuku sitting there.

Elijah, noticing her outfit—a black sweater with a Union Jack on it, slightly sliding off her shoulder to reveal her bra strap, paired with tight blue leggings and sandals—smirked. “Nice sweater, love.”

“No time for that now,” Bowsette huffed. “Boosette’s loose in the dorms!”

Izuku and Elijah exchanged looks before turning back to her.

“Why did you even let her in?” Izuku asked.

“She snagged my ID! You have to find her before—”

Suddenly, a terrified shriek rang through the dorms.

The three of them immediately dashed toward the kitchen, where they found Momo, Uraraka, and Ferisha trembling in fear.

“I’m sorry, Koopa-san! Is this because I threw away the breakfast you made?” Uraraka asked frantically.

“Is it because I never offered tutoring you and Hendrix-kun?” Momo asked nervously.

“Is it because, in the bath, I couldn’t stop staring at your body and wanted to rub you all over?” Ferisha admitted shamelessly.

Izuku and Elijah immediately turned red at the thought, while Bowsette twitched, her own face burning.

“We didn’t mean for you to die!” the three girls said in unison.

“I’M NOT DEAD! That’s just my cousin!” Bowsette barked.

“…To be fair, Bow-chan, you two do look pretty similar,” Izuku admitted.

“One wears her hair in a ponytail, the other lets it down. One has normal skin, the other’s pale as a ghost. And you both wear the same crown,” Elijah added.

“Not helping,” Bowsette growled.

Just then, Boosette smirked. “Gotta run~” she giggled before phasing through the wall.

“AFTER HER!” Bowsette yelled, sprinting after her. But before she left, she shot a glare at Ferisha. “And you and I are having a talk later.”

With Mineta…

Mineta was strolling down the hallway when Boosette suddenly appeared.

“Koopa, did you change your clothes and hair color?” Mineta asked suspiciously.

Boosette smirked and decided to mess with him. “Yes, I did. You know… I’ve been thinking. You’re really cute—better looking than Elijah.”

Mineta’s eyes widened. “Is this finally… my moment?!”

Boosette leaned in, whispering, “If you want, you can touch them. I’ll even let you slip your hand into my br—”

“LEAVE THE PERVERT ALONE!” Bowsette roared, turning the corner and pointing at Boosette.

“…Are we talking about Mineta or Boosette?” Izuku asked.

“Yes,” Elijah answered flatly.

Mineta, still stunned, gasped, “Wait… there are two Koopas? My dreams have come true!”

Boosette floated into the common room, her gaze sweeping across the area until she spotted Bakugo lounging on the couch. On the other side sat Todoroki, watching as their classmates moved around, chatting and unwinding after a long day.

A mischievous grin spread across her face as she materialized right on top of Bakugo’s lap.

“You!” Bakugo barked, eyes wide in shock.

“Aww, I missed you too, Katsuki,” Boosette cooed before planting a quick kiss on his cheek.

The room fell silent.

“Whoa, I didn’t know you had a girlfriend,” Kaminari blurted out, his expression caught between amusement and disbelief.

“I’m surprised too,” Todoroki admitted, his usual monotone somehow making it even funnier.

“She’s not my girlfriend!” Bakugo roared, face turning red as he shoved Boosette off him.

Just then, Mina, Tsuyu, and Seol Hee walked in, catching the tail end of the scene.

“So, Bakugo does have a girlfriend who kinda looks like Koopa?” Mina teased. “I always had a hunch that she was your type.”

Bakugo growled, glaring at her. “I don’t—”

Boosette pressed a finger to her chin, feigning thoughtfulness. “That’s not how I remember it. Remember when we were kids? We were inseparable. You used to hold me all the time like this—” She floated behind him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, making him tense. “I even used to babysit you, remember?”

“That’s got nothing to do with this!” Bakugo snapped, trying to shake her off.

Boosette giggled before continuing. “Ohhh, but what about the time on your porch when you fell asleep on my lap and peed on me?”

The room erupted in laughter.

Bakugo’s face turned scarlet. “That never happened!”

“Oh, and when you found out I was moving away, you cried and swore, ‘I’m gonna marry you one day!’”

Everyone gasped.

“SHUT UP!!” Bakugo shouted, face now a dangerous shade of red.

Boosette smirked. “And let’s not forget when you told me you actually had a thing for my cousin instead of me—”

The room fell silent again.

Bowsette, Izuku, and Elijah all narrowed their eyes at Bakugo.

Elijah crossed his arms. “I’m absolutely gobsmacked. Is that why you had a problem with me and Izuku? Because we hung out with Bowsie?”

“Ew, you had a thing for me?!” Bowsette recoiled in disgust.

“As if—” Bakugo started, but Boosette cut him off.

“I mean, you did keep calling her ‘Godzilla with huge tits.’ Would someone not interested really focus on that?”

Bakugo clenched his fists, eyes burning with rage. “You little—”

Before he could make a move, Boosette cackled and vanished through the floor.

“Oh no… she’s heading for the dorm rooms,” Izuku realized.

Elijah smirked. He had a pretty good idea where she was going.

Boosette materialized inside Elijah’s room, floating toward his guitar, Ember.

“Hmm… nice guitar,” she mused, reaching out to touch it.

Thwip!

A web shot out, pinning her to the wall. She gasped and looked up to see Elijah stepping out of camouflage, arms crossed.

“How’d you know I’d be here?” she huffed.

“You’re a creature of habit,” Elijah replied coolly. “Now, end your little game, or you’ll end up embarrassed.”

Boosette scoffed, phasing through his web. “Oh, I’m so scared. What are you gonna do, English?” She turned her back to him, wiggling her hips teasingly.

Elijah smirked. “You might want to take me seriously… since I know your weakness.”

Boosette rolled her eyes. “I don’t have a—”

Thwip!

Elijah shot a web at her crown, yanking it off her head.

The room fell silent.

Boosette’s entire body turned bright red as she quickly covered her face. Her usual mischievous energy evaporated in an instant.

“E-Eli-kun, could you not look over here?” she stammered, voice barely above a whisper.

Elijah raised a brow, watching her flustered state. (As I thought… she acts like a brat, but without her crown, she’s actually really shy.)

(Boosette Boo,Quirk:Ghost.She's able to face through walls, cast illusions, among other things, but without her crown given to her by her father, she becomes very shy)

A knock at the door startled Boosette. “E-Eli-kun, please give me back my crown!” she pleaded.

“Only if you apologize to everyone for today,” Elijah bargained.

“Okay, okay!” she agreed in a panic.

Elijah handed it back, and the moment it was on her head, she returned to her usual self. Bowsette opened the door.

“Boosette—”

“I’m sorry for everything,” Boosette grumbled, puffing out her cheeks. “I might have gone a little too far.”

Bowsette blinked and looked at Elijah. “What exactly did you do?”

Elijah smirked. “British charm.”

Minutes later, Boosette begrudgingly apologized to Class 1-A before taking her leave.

Later that night, after some gaming with Bowsette and Izuku, Elijah stepped out onto the dorm rooftop. A soft breeze drifted through the air.

“I knew you didn’t actually leave,” he said, not even turning around.

Boosette floated down beside him, arms crossed. “I have to know… how did you figure out my secret?”

Elijah smirked.

Flashback…

An 11-year-old Elijah was playing hide and seek with Izuku, Jackie, Bowsette, and Boosette in the woods. He had been it and was searching when he spotted Boosette—without her crown—cornered by two barking dogs.

She looked terrified.

Without thinking, Elijah shot webs at the dogs, securing them to a tree. Then, he quietly retrieved her crown and placed it back on her head before jumping into the trees before she could see him.

Present…

“That was you?” Boosette asked, eyes wide.

“Yeah.” Elijah leaned against the railing. “If you’re wondering why I never told the others, it’s because… well, even though you annoy the hell out of us, you are fun. Honestly, I kinda miss this.Plus you only came here because you were worried.”

Boosette blushed slightly. “Y-you don’t know that…”

Elijah grinned. “And I’m guessing the real reason you showed up here wasn’t just to mess with us—you saw everything we went through with the League of Villains, didn’t you? You were worried.”

Boosette’s face turned even redder. “Shut up.”

“And you were extra worried about a certain cousin because she’s like a sister to you.”

“…Maybe. A little.” She huffed. “If you so much as tell her—”

“I won’t,” Elijah assured her. “She is my girlfriend, after all.”

Boosette smirked and gave him a kiss on the cheek.“T-that was a reward…thanks. For back then..See you around, Eli-kun. ”

“No problem,” he said, watching as she vanished into the night.

With a small chuckle, Elijah turned and headed back inside.

“Everything okay?” Bowsette asked as he rejoined the game.

“Course, love,” Elijah said, smirking.

Bowsette raised an eyebrow but let it slide. Izuku, completely unaware, kept focused on the screen.

And with that, the night continued.

Chapter 55: Mineta

Chapter Text

Bowsette groggily sat up in her dorm room, rubbing her eyes. The sun peeked through the blinds, casting a warm glow over the room. She stretched, yawning as she got out of bed and walked toward the living room, her claws clicking softly against the floor.

As she neared the common area, a strange noise caught her attention. It was faint at first, but as she got closer, the unmistakable sound of… kissing echoed through the room.

She frowned. Who the hell is making out this early in the morning?

Looking around, she saw no one on the couch, no one in the kitchen. But something told her to look up. Slowly, she tilted her head back—

Her heart stopped.

There, sticking to the ceiling like it was the most natural thing in the world, was Elijah, locked in a passionate kiss with a beautiful woman. She had long, flowing black hair, a sleek purple leotard hugging her figure, and thigh-high boots that gleamed under the dorm’s soft lighting.

Bowsette’s breath hitched. She felt a lump form in her throat. Her hands clenched into fists, claws digging into her palms as a stinging pain settled in her chest. She quickly turned on her heel and left the room, holding back tears.

She ran straight to Izuku’s room and burst in without knocking.

"Izuku," she said, her voice shaking.

Izuku jumped, nearly falling off his bed. "B-Bowsette? What’s wrong?"

She wiped her eyes. "It’s Elijah. I—I saw him kissing some woman on the ceiling!"

Izuku blinked. "Wait, what?"

Before either of them could say more, Mineta strolled into the room with an obnoxious grin. "Tch! You think that’s crazy? I did something way cooler!"

Both Bowsette and Izuku turned to him.

Mineta crossed his arms smugly. "I took down Elijah and Todoroki. By myself!"

Bowsette’s eyes widened slightly. "You… defeated Elijah and Todoroki?"

"Yep!" Mineta puffed out his chest. "It was an epic battle! Elijah tried to use his webs, but I was too fast! Todoroki tried freezing me, but I dodged with my incredible reflexes! In the end, I stood victorious!"

Bowsette stared at him, her cheeks slightly red. "Mineta… you’re actually kinda cool."

Izuku’s jaw dropped. "Wait, what?"

Before anyone could process what was happening, Bowsette leaned down and pressed her lips against Mineta’s.

Mineta’s eyes went wide as saucers. Is this a dream?!

But then, something even more insane happened. She grabbed his hands and placed them on her chest.

Mineta’s soul nearly ascended.

Izuku covered his eyes. "W-What is happening?!"

And then—

Mineta clapped his hands together. "So! What do you guys think of my story? Pretty cool,right?"

A long, painful silence filled the room.

Everyone in Class 1-A, who had somehow ended up listening, just stared at him.

Elijah, who had just walked in, took a deep breath—then slapped Mineta across the face.

Before Mineta could even react, Bowsette stepped up and punched him straight in the balls.

Mineta collapsed to the ground in a whimpering heap, his dreams shattered, his soul leaving his body.

Elijah and Bowsette turned and left the room together, leaving everyone else in stunned silence.

Kirishima scratched his head. "Dude…"

Ferisha pouted. "How come I wasn’t in it?"

Jiro crossed her arms. "Why would you want to be?"

Auther's notes:April fools,but on a serious note,nex chapter coming soon.

Chapter 56: Japanese hero Billboard Chart

Chapter Text

Everyone in Class 1-A was lounging around in the common room, chatting and enjoying a peaceful afternoon when a knock suddenly echoed at the door.

“Ah! Our guests have arrived!” Iida announced, practically vibrating with excitement. “Let’s welcome them!”

“Guests?” Elijah blinked, mid-sip from his soda can.

Iida strode over and opened the door with theatrical flair.

“Your feline fantasies have arrived!”

PFFFFFT! Elijah instantly spat his soda all over Mineta.

“DUDE! NOT COOL!” Mineta shouted, wiping his face off in horror.

A group of voices followed, chiming together in energetic unison:

“Allow us to lend a helping paw!”

“We're champions serving up justice!”

“Purr-fectly cute, catlike heroes!”

“We’re the Wild, Wild Pussycats!”

Elijah slowly turned toward the entrance, eyes wide. Standing there in all their costumed glory were four familiar figures—his auntie Mandalay and her team.

“You knew about this, didn’t you?” he muttered, glancing accusingly at Bowsette and Izuku.

“We had no idea!” Izuku replied, both hands raised defensively.

As most of Class 1-A eagerly rushed over to meet the famous hero team, Elijah tried to make a quiet escape.

“Okay, just gonna sneak out and—”

“Leaving so soon?” a familiar voice called.

He froze.

Turning slowly, he saw Mandalay—not in her usual uniform, but dressed casually in a knee-length skirt, dark leggings, high-heeled shoes, and a cozy turtleneck with a loose collar. She smiled warmly at him.

“Auntie…” he began, only to be pulled into a tight hug.

“Elijah… I’m so sorry,” she murmured.

“We’ve been over this,” he said softly. “It wasn’t your fault.”

“Still… I was worried,” she said.

Just then, Ragdoll appeared behind him, grinning from ear to ear. “She heard you were visiting the hospital almost every day,” she said. “She wanted to thank you.”

“You really don’t have to. I mean, your Quirk—”

“Still!” Ragdoll chimed. “It was sweet of you.”

Then, before Elijah could say another word, Ragdoll kissed him full on the lips.

His eyes widened, a stunned sound caught in his throat—

And then he passed out in her arms.

Moments later, Bowsette turned the corner.

“Hey, have you guys seen Eli—”

She stopped mid-step, her eyes locking onto the sight of Ragdoll holding Elijah like a damsel in distress, lips still glossy from the kiss.

“…What just happened?” she asked, deadpan.

“I just gave him a reward for being such a sweet boy,” Ragdoll replied with a wink. “I hear you're his girlfriend. Just think of me as your rival~!”

“Huh?” Bowsette blinked.

Later…

Elijah slowly stirred awake, finding his head resting comfortably on Bowsette’s lap. She absentmindedly ran her claws through his hair.

“So,” she said calmly, “Ragdoll kissed you.”

“I SWEAR I didn’t see it coming,” Elijah blurted out.

“It’s fine,” Bowsette replied coolly. “Now we’re even.”

“…What?”

“Remember when I got that kiss on the cheek from one of my favorite heroes? This evens the score.”

Elijah blinked. “Okay… fair enough. Are they still around?”

“They left a little while ago,” she explained. “Ragdoll’s gonna be working behind the scenes since her Quirk is still gone. The team’s going back into action—they made the Japanese Billboard Hero Chart again.”

“If I’m not mistaken, they ranked 411 this term,” Elijah said thoughtfully. “I wonder how the rest of the rankings will look, especially now that All Might's retired.”

Bowsette smiled. “We’re watching it with Deku, right?”

“Yeah, unless…” Elijah smirked. “You wanna make it a private date thing?”

“Actually,” Bowsette said, “I was thinking more of a double date. You, me, Izuku, and Ellen. She’s got a day off and said she’s down to come by.”

“…I feel like if we watch it here, Izuku’s in danger from random jealous classmates.”

“Wait,” Bowsette suddenly remembered, “your camouflage—doesn’t it work when you hold on to people?”

The Next Day…

The four of them were gathered in Elijah’s room.

Izuku was nervously accepting a lollipop from Ellen, who winked at him while resting on his arm. Bowsette and Elijah were curled up on a beanbag, sharing a bowl of popcorn as the TV flickered on.

The Hero Billboard Chart Special was about to begin.

Elijah leaned over and whispered, “This is actually kinda perfect.”

Bowsette grinned. “Told you. All we needed was snacks, a little drama, and some backup for Izuku.”

From the screen, the host announced, “And now… our top 10 Pro Heroes!”

Elijah leaned back with a smirk. “Let’s see what the future looks like.”

The Hero Billboard Chart broadcast blared to life.

“Coming in at Number 10, dropping one rank since the last chart—

The Dragon Hero, Ryukyu!”

Ryukyu walked on stage gracefully, waving to the audience.

“Honestly, I don’t think I deserve to be ranked this high,” she said modestly, rubbing the back of her neck.

“At Number 9, also slipping down a rank but refusing to go down without a fight—

The Equipped Hero, Yoroi Musha!”

A stoic older man in heavy samurai armor took the stage.

Elijah and Ellen exchanged a confused glance.

(“I’ve never heard of him.”)

“Number 8! You know him from those squeaky clean commercials—

It’s everyone’s favorite laundry hero: Wash!”

“Oh yeah, I remember his commercials,” Izuku said, eyes lighting up. “He’s actually got a powerful Quirk!”

“Number 7, jumping up the charts in a big way—

Kamui Woods!”

“Well deserved,” Ellen nodded.

“I heard rumors Mount Lady is dating either him… or Zero,” Bowsette added casually.

“Zero?” Ellen raised a brow.

“Number 6! Making an even bigger jump—

The Black Knight Hero… Zero!”

A dramatic figure emerged onto the stage, clad in a sleek, dark purple bodysuit adorned with golden stripes. His outfit merged Victorian elegance with futuristic design: a high-collared cloak, a flowing cape with crimson lining, and an imposing, spiked mask covering his face. The mask glinted ominously under the lights, concealing everything but a subtle eye slit designed for precision.

“Just happy to finally be on the list,” Zero said calmly.

“Number 5! With energy that’s hard to ignore—

The Rabbit Hero, Mirko!”

She stepped confidently on stage, strong and striking. Her lean, muscular frame carried effortless power. Her long white hair flowed behind her, and her crimson eyes locked onto the crowd like a predator eyeing its prey.

“I heard you formed a team,” Mirko said, smirking toward the camera. “Talk about weak.”

“Argh, her...” Elijah groaned, sinking a little in his seat.

“I know she and your brother have history,” Bowsette whispered.

“They were married. Had a kid. Got divorced. That’s not history, that’s trauma,” Elijah muttered. “She’s the reason I knock before opening doors.”

Flashback...

Elijah, fresh from his first day of middle school, cheerfully stepped into his brother’s apartment.

“Cain? You home?”

The place was unusually quiet… until he noticed a couple of articles on the floor: Cain’s hero costume and… a white leotard?

He heard faint moaning and rhythmic smacking noises from upstairs.

Face twitching in confusion and dread, Elijah climbed the stairs, following the sounds to the bathroom.

“Just a little longer~” came a breathy female voice.

“He could be here any second… I’m about to—”

Elijah opened the bathroom door.

His eyes widened in sheer horror.

Cain and Mirko were entangled in the shower—very naked, very active, and very startled.

“OH MY GOD, ELIJ—” Cain yelped.

Elijah slammed the door shut and bolted down the stairs.

A few minutes later, Cain came down, awkwardly trying to salvage the moment.

“So, uh… how was school? What you saw was… Mirko helping me with a plumbing issue.”

Mirko casually strolled in, now dressed in a bathrobe. “Might as well tell him the truth. He’s gonna find out about sex at some point.”

“You’re not helping,” Cain hissed.

She knelt beside Elijah with a grin. “What me and your brother were doing is what adults do when they love—or really like—each other.”

Back to Present...

“Still haunted by that,” Elijah muttered, rubbing his temple.

Bowsette patted his back. “Honestly? That sounds like something out of a rom-com turned horror flick.”

“It was my horror flick,” he grumbled. “Unskippable.”

“At Number Four—shooting up the rankings with a massive jump—

It’s the one and only, Sol Badguy!” announced the host with excitement.

A fierce figure stepped onto the stage, commanding attention with every move.

Tan-skinned and muscular, Sol had wild, spiked brown hair that trailed down to his waist, kept in check by a red headband emblazoned with “Rock You.” His intense gaze seemed golden at times, his slit pupils betraying something… inhuman. A Gear. The headband also hid a mysterious red brand on his forehead—further proof of that identity.

He wore a black undershirt beneath a sleeveless red and black jacket, paired with white jeans and heavy red shoes. A belt bearing the word “FREE” hung diagonally from his waist, with another red cloth draping behind him. Gloves, straps, and an overall rebellious flair completed his warrior-punk aesthetic. His entire vibe screamed don’t mess with me.

“He seems familiar,” Izuku murmured, eyes narrowed.

“Yeah… total badass,” Elijah added. “But those eyes... they look like someone I’ve seen before. I just can’t place it.”

“Now, let’s move on to Number Three!” the announcer called.

“He’s currently on hiatus, but his reputation remains untarnished—especially after the Kamino incident. He holds the highest approval rating this round… It’s the Fiber Hero, Best Jeanist!”

Best Jeanist’s name appeared on screen, followed by a still image of his heroic form.

Izuku lowered his eyes slightly.

“Still recovering after what happened… but even resting, he's a true symbol.”

“Coming in at Number Two! He flies his own path, and his rise has been nothing short of meteoric—

The Wing Hero, Hawks!”

Hawks appeared on stage with a casual wave, his crimson wings folded loosely behind him.

“Well, I’m not sure I deserve all that hype,” he said with a smirk, clearly unfazed by the crowd’s thunderous applause.

Elijah raised an eyebrow. “He’s cocky, but I kind of dig it.”

“He’s fast. Like really fast,” Bowsette added. “You can’t even blink.”

Then, the lights dimmed dramatically.

Only the stage was illuminated now. The room held its breath.

“And finally…” the announcer said, his voice echoing as the tension mounted.

“He’s been acting as the temporary Number One, but today—it’s official. He inherits the title, the legacy, the burden…

Flame Hero: Endeavor!”

Endeavor strode onto the stage, flames roaring subtly from his shoulders, casting ominous shadows across the floor.

The crowd erupted with a mix of cheers, gasps, and silence.

Elijah, Bowsette, and Izuku all exchanged uncertain glances.

Mixed emotions filled the air—respect, unease, hope… and doubt.

“…He’s got big shoes to fill,” Elijah finally said.

“Not just shoes,” Bowsette muttered. “A whole symbol.”

Izuku remained quiet, staring at the stage, fists clenched.

Endeavor stood tall beneath the glaring lights, flames flickering with each breath. He gazed out at the crowd, eyes firm, posture unwavering.

The crowd hushed as Endeavor stepped forward, his deep, gravelly voice cutting through the silence.

“I stand here not to replace All Might… but to surpass him.”

There were murmurs in the audience—some in awe, others doubtful. Flames flickered around his shoulders as he continued, his tone resolute.

“I will protect this nation. I will lead as the Number One hero—not by title, but by action. If you doubt me… watch me.”

The crowd erupted into applause, though it wasn’t unanimous. The weight of his words hung heavy.

Elijah crossed his arms, his brows furrowed. “...He means it.”

“Yeah,” Izuku nodded slowly. “But… do we believe it yet?”

“I don’t know,” Bowsette replied, arms loosely folded. “He’s trying. I’ll give him that.”

Then her eyes drifted to Sol Badguy, who stood in the wings, arms folded, cool and calm as ever.

And it hit her.

“…Wait a second…” she leaned forward, squinting. “His eyes…”

Elijah looked at her. “What?”

“They’re just like Jackie’s.”

Elijah paused for a beat. Then his eyes widened.

“No freaking way—”

He immediately pulled out his phone, scrolling to Jackie’s contact and hitting call. When she answered, he put her on speaker.

“Hey, Jackie. Real quick—you watching the Hero Rankings?”

“Uh… yeah,” Jackie replied, her voice crackling through. “Why?”

“You see Sol Badguy?” Elijah asked, tone sharp.

There was a pause.

“…Yeah.”

Elijah leaned in, suspicious. “You related to him?”

Another pause—longer this time.

Then Jackie sighed. “...Yeah. That’s my dad.”

All three of them blinked in disbelief.

“What?!” Elijah nearly dropped the phone. “Why didn’t you ever say anything?!”

“Because,” Jackie said, flustered. “Dad’s intense. I mean, like… really intense. And after seeing how you and Izuku practically had a panic attack when you saw Bowsette’s dad—yeah, I kinda kept it quiet.”

Bowsette blinked, then scowled. “Hey!”

“No offense,” Jackie said. “But your dad’s the king of terrifying energy. My dad is more like... the embodiment of a lava explosion with a grudge.”

“That actually makes sense,” Izuku muttered. “Sol Badguy’s whole vibe is just—raw power and smoldering rage.”

“And you inherited none of that?” Elijah said sarcastically.

“Shut up,” Jackie replied.

Bowsette leaned back, arms crossed. “Well damn. The rockstar, rebel-biker energy runs in the family.”

Elijah still stared at his phone, dumbfounded. “So, you’re telling me we’ve been hanging out with the daughter of one of the most badass, underground legends alive and you just casually didn’t mention it?”

“...Yes.”

A long pause.

“…Respect,” Elijah said finally.

“Same,” Bowsette added with a smirk.

“Thanks,” Jackie replied dryly. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to text my super intense dad to stop smirking like he’s cooler than everyone on national TV.”

Ellen glanced at her phone, frowning. “Crap. I have to be back at my dorms before curfew.”

“Need an escort?” Izuku asked, offering a sheepish grin.

She smirked. “Only if you promise not to trip over anything on the way.”

Elijah waved lazily from the couch. “You two nerds behave.”

Ellen gave him a mock salute. “We’re climbing out the window. Don’t tell anyone.”

Bowsette raised an eyebrow. “Why the window?”

Izuku smiled nervously. “Easier than explaining why we're outside this late.”

Ellen already had the window open, and with the grace of a trained fighter, she climbed out onto the ledge. Izuku followed clumsily but managed to keep up. Before disappearing, he looked back and gave Elijah a quick thumbs-up.

“I’ll text you when she gets in safe,” he said before slipping into the night with Ellen.

The room was quiet now.

Just Bowsette and Elijah.

She flopped back onto the couch, arms behind her head, her spiky blonde ponytail falling over the cushion. “So. Jackie’s dad is a rockstar legend, Endeavor made everyone emotional, and then mineta with yesterday.”

Elijah chuckled softly, picking up his guitar from the corner. “Yeah. Kinda makes you wonder what the hell tomorrow’s gonna look like.”

He sat down, strumming the strings lazily, letting a soft, bluesy melody spill into the room. It was slower than his usual playing—raw and emotional, with little flourishes that felt more personal.

Bowsette turned her head toward him, watching quietly.

“You wrote that?” she asked, voice low.

He nodded without looking up. “Yeah. Thought about calling it ‘Rooftops and Regret.’ Kinda stupid, huh?”

“Not at all,” she whispered.

He glanced up, their eyes meeting across the room.

For a moment, neither of them said anything. The tension wasn’t sharp—it was warm. Familiar. Like something that had been waiting for the right moment to bloom.

Bowsette stood, walked over slowly, and knelt beside him as he set the guitar down.

“...You always hide behind the jokes,” she said gently.

“Yeah,” Elijah replied, barely above a whisper. “You always call me out.”

She leaned in. “Because I see you.”

The words hung there, powerful in their simplicity.

And then she kissed him.

Soft at first. Then deeper—real.

Elijah froze for a half-second, caught off guard. Then his hand rose, gently brushing her cheek as he leaned into it.

When they finally pulled apart, both of them had slightly dazed expressions.

“…So uh…” Elijah said, voice cracking a little. “You wanna—like—talk about that or…”

Bowsette smirked, her eyes half-lidded. “Shut up.”

He laughed quietly. “Right.”

She leaned her head against his shoulder as the guitar rested across his lap, both of them looking out the open window where Izuku and Ellen had gone.

For once, the night felt peaceful.

Chapter 57: Spider-Verse Arc PartI:Elijah Lafayette Of Earth 2821

Chapter Text

Elijah, Bowsette, and Izuku were heading to class together when Elijah’s Spider-Sense suddenly went off.

"Something wrong?" Bowsette asked, noticing his tense posture.

"It's coming from over there," Elijah said, taking off in a sprint.

Bowsette and Izuku exchanged glances before chasing after him. They turned a corner and found Elijah frozen in place, staring wide-eyed at something—or rather, someone.

Standing before them was an older version of Elijah, clad in a different Spider-Punk suit, accompanied by a striking woman with long black hair. She wore a skintight blue leotard, matching thigh-high boots, and long gloves, exuding an air of confidence.

“Are you positive the wanker came through here…” the older Elijah muttered. “Bet—” He cut himself off as he turned and locked eyes with his younger counterpart. "Bollocks."

The woman, now identified as Betsy, also turned to face them.

"Eli-kun?! Not that I’m complaining, but how are there two of you?!" Bowsette exclaimed.

"Do you have another brother?" Izuku asked, equally baffled.

“We should get going,” Betsy said urgently.

"Right, love," the older Elijah replied, quickly opening a portal with glowing hexagonal shapes swirling around it. Without another word, the two of them stepped through.
But just as the portal was closing, Elijah, Bowsette, and Izuku leaped in after them, landing with a thud on the other side. They found themselves inside an elevator.

Betsy sighed, rubbing her temples. "Kids…"

"He’s not gonna be happy about this," the older Elijah muttered.

Elijah stood up, shaking off the impact. “Where are we?”

“Whether you meant to or not, you’ve entered the Spider Society,” the older Elijah replied as the elevator doors opened.

The sight before them was overwhelming—Spider-People. Everywhere. Some were walking, others clung to the walls, chatting as if this was just another day for them.

“They’re all…?” Izuku trailed off.

“A bunch of Eli-kuns,” Bowsette finished, eyes wide.

Betsy smirked. “You, little one, are known as the ‘Man of Spiders’ in your universe, yes?”

"Man of what?" Elijah blinked.

"She means Spider-Man," the older Elijah clarified.

"My superhero name is Spider-Punk," Elijah corrected.

"Same difference. Anyway, here, we have people who go by Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, or Spider-Girl," his older counterpart explained.

“So, there are a bunch of people like Eli-kun?” Izuku asked.

"Correct. I’m Elijah Lafayette, and the woman next to me is Betsy Braddock, also known as—"

“Psylocke,” Betsy said, finishing the introduction.

A man in a classic spandex Spider-Man suit approached and removed his mask, revealing a full beard.

“This is Pete,” the older Elijah said. “We ran into a bit of trouble.”

Pete studied the newcomers before looking back at Elijah. “You know we can’t allow outsiders unless—”

“What could I do? They tagged along,” the older Elijah said with a shrug. “More importantly,You guys sure he ran into that universe?”

Pete’s expression darkened. “You'll have to ask Miguel.If he did, that's a whole mess of problems.”

As they took a step forward, Elijah, Bowsette, and Izuku suddenly began to glitch.

“Oh, right,” Pete said, tossing them each a wristband. “Put these on. They’ll stop you from glitching.”

"Glitching?" Elijah asked, slipping his on.

"Miguel will explain everything," Betsy said.

"Who's Miguel? And who are you?" Bowsette demanded.

"I'm Peter Parker from Earth-718," Pete explained. "Like most of the people here,I was bitten by a radioactive spider and gained my powers."

“Were most of you bitten by radioactive spiders?” Izuku asked.

“Mostly,” the older Elijah admitted.

“So… no one here has a Quirk?” Elijah asked.

"A Quirk?" Pete raised an eyebrow.

"Think of them like the X-Men," the older Elijah explained. "Except they’re not called mutants; their powers are just known as Quirks.Kind of like Spider-Man from sternbuild.Accepting his Universe they're called Next" He studied Izuku and Bowsette. "Hmm… taking a wild guess here—Bowser, right?"

"How’d you confuse me with Daddy?" Bowsette huffed.

Betsy chuckled. “Yeah, this is definitely one of the weirder ones.”

Elijah turned to his older self. "So, are you the top hero in your universe?"

The older Elijah gave him a nostalgic look. “You’re still at U.A., judging by your uniform. That takes me back… Did it happen for you yet?”

“What? Getting captured by the League of Villains?” Elijah asked warily.

As they walked through the corridors, they passed rows of laser-guarded cells. Inside, various people sat in containment. One figure caught Elijah’s attention.

"Izuku… isn’t that—?"

They both turned to see a version of Toga, who perked up at the sight of them. “Izuku?”

“How is she here?” Izuku whispered.

A holographic woman materialized in front of them. “They’re anomalies—folks who wound up in the wrong dimension.”

“Some try to fight us, so we have to stop them and send them back,” Betsy added.

“She’s not your Toga,” the older Elijah clarified. “This one’s just a normal girl.”

Toga tilted her head. “You looks so much like my Izuku.”

“…You're Izuku?” The three of them said in unison before moving along.

Elijah’s eyes landed on another prisoner—a lizard-like creature. “That guy looks familiar…”

“Every Spider-Person has fought a Lizard at some point,” Pete said.

Eventually, they entered a dimly lit room bathed in red. A tall figure in a futuristic Spider-Man suit stood at the center.
“Elijah Hendrix, meet Miguel O’Hara—Spider-Man of 2099,” the older Elijah introduced.

The elevator came to a slow stop. Miguel turned to them, eyes narrowing. “Who are they?”

“They tagged along,” the older Elijah explained. “But more importantly, are you sure he ran off into that universe?”

“We ran a scan and it definitely shows that he's in that universe more specifically hiding out somewhere in that area” Miguel’s tone was sharp.

The older Elijah clenched his fists. “Goblin...”

Miguel’s eyes darkened.

“Who is this Goblin guy?” Elijah asks.

“Is he bad news?” Bowsette asks.

Psylocke’s eyes widened. “You haven’t…It’s nothing. He’s nobody.”

Miguel exhaled. “I’ll see who we have available to help—”

“Why not let us help?” Bowsette interrupted.

Miguel glanced at her.

“We may not seem like it but we actually have hero licenses so we can definitely help” said Elijah.

“We want to help if we can” Izuku added.

Miguel studied them for a moment before nodding. “Fine.Lafayette, Braddock, take the kids with you and bring Goblin back here”

Later…

Elijah now wore a sleek black and red Spider-Man suit. Izuku’s was green, while Bowsette’s was black and gray.

Izuku adjusted the lenses on his borrowed suit, eyes wide with curiosity. “So this is what it’s like to wear your gear… The optics are insane. Built-in cameras, HUD, auto-focus—”

“Not the time, Izuku,” Elijah cut in, voice firm as he checked his own gear.

Bowsette flicked her tail behind her, smirking. “Honestly, I’m surprised they had one that fits me—with room for my shell and tail.”

The trio approached the glowing teleporter pad, where a Spider-Man in a hooded suit stood next to a striking woman in a shimmering silver leotard. A sleek spider-themed robot hovered behind them, its legs clicking quietly.

Miguel’s voice came through the comms with sharp clarity.

“Team, your objective is simple. Capture the target—bring him back. No unnecessary risks. Understood?”

With a nod, the group stepped onto the platform.

In a flash of blue light, they were gone.

The alley they reappeared in was damp, dimly lit, and eerily quiet. Far enough from U.A. to avoid detection—but close enough to feel the tension in the air.

Psylocke stood nearby, fingers pressed to her temple as her eyes flickered with psychic energy. “We’ve got two unconscious officers outside. Reinforcements en route.”
“Stay sharp,” Elijah ordered. “This isn’t just any villain.Goblin's a threat on par with the worst of them. Doesn’t matter the universe—he always leaves a trail of pain.”

Further ahead, cloaked in their stealth camouflage, the two Elijahs crept up the side of an old warehouse.

“You sure we’re not being watched?” the younger Elijah asked, whispering as they clung to the wall.

“No movement yet. But stay alert.”

A pause, then the younger one glanced over. “So… what did this guy do to you?”

The older Elijah’s expression darkened beneath his mask. “In my world, every Green Goblin’s done damage. But mine? He killed my best friend. Took something from me I can’t get back.”

A heavy bang echoed from inside the building, followed by another. The two paused, then slipped through an open vent, landing silently on the steel rafters above.

Below them… a monstrous figure moved through the shadows. Hulking, green-skinned, grinning like a demon from a nightmare. The creature turned, revealing rows of jagged teeth, glowing yellow eyes—and a twisted mockery of a familiar face.

“Well, well…” the Goblin said, voice like gravel and venom. “If it isn’t Elijah. You look older than the last time I tore you apart.”

The younger Elijah tensed. “You know him?”

“He knows me,” the older replied, eyes narrowing. “Don’t let him confuse you.”

The Goblin’s grin widened as he cracked his knuckles. “So I get the honor of crushing not just you… but a younger version too? What a delightful reunion.”

Then, with a monstrous roar, the Goblin lunged—straight toward them.

The older one looks at him and says”You remind me so much of her.. my Izumi..”

The warehouse shook as the fight kicked off, the two Elijahs launching into motion with perfect synergy.

The older Elijah swung low, webbing up crates and hurling them toward the Green Goblin, while the younger zipped high, landing blow after blow with his agile kicks and spiked sneakers. Their punk-styled spider gear glinted in the dim light, graffiti-painted armor moving like rhythm through chaos.

“You’ve got good moves, kid,” the older Elijah said between swings.

“You too, old man,” the younger shot back with a grin, twisting midair to avoid a swipe from Goblin’s claws.

They were doing it. Actually holding their own.

But the Goblin wasn’t just brute force—he was cruel.

“So… how’s Bullet these days?” he sneered, catching one of Elijah’s fists and slamming him into a stack of metal drums.

The older Elijah froze for a second. His fist trembled.

“Shut your mouth,” he growled.

The Goblin chuckled, stepping over the wreckage. “Oh, I forgot—she’s dead, isn’t she? Funny how you couldn’t save her. You were too slow.”

“Older spidey, don’t listen to him!” the younger shouted.

But it was too late.

The older Elijah’s fury spiked, and he rushed in with reckless abandon. Goblin dodged and struck back with a brutal uppercut, sending Elijah crashing through a wall.

That was the opening.

The rest of the team poured in—Izuku, Bowsette,and Psylocke.

Everyone hit the Goblin hard and fast.

Webbing pinned his arms. Psylocke slashed with a psychic blade. Bowsette hurled a chunk of concrete, and Izuku launched a Full Cowling smash straight into the villain’s gut.

Goblin stumbled, roaring.

“We’ve got him!” Izuku yelled.

But Goblin wasn’t finished.

With a twisted grin, he slammed his fists into the floor, cracking open a bundle of hidden pipes. Steam and gas hissed out—followed by a spark from his gauntlet.

BOOM.

A light explosion rocked the area. Dust and smoke filled the air.

As the team scrambled to help dazed civilians and secure the building, the Goblin emerged from the shadows—grabbing Psylocke by the throat and yanking the younger Elijah close with a chain of webbing he’d stolen.

“No sudden moves,” Goblin snarled, “or I tear them both in half.”

Then he vanished into the night with them—laughing.

Minutes later, on a rooftop nearby, the older Elijah stared out at the city, fists clenched. His eyes were burning—not from pain, but rage.

“I should’ve ended him…Maybe that he wouldn't have Betsy and” he muttered.

Behind him, Izuku placed a hand on his shoulder. “Elijah. You need to breathe. Getting angry won’t help them. Focus.Also.. the Elijah I know wouldn't kill anyone..If you allow yourself to get to that point, you know different than the villains.”

“The older Elijah looked at him with wide eyes”Izumi, I..”

Bowsette approached, folding her arms. “Izumi?” she asked quietly.

Elijah looked away. “Her name is Izumi Midoriya… You could say she's your counterpart, Izuku.”

Izuku’s eyes widened, stunned.

“She was smart, tough, and way too good for someone like me. She died protecting people—killed by that monster.”

The rooftop went silent for a beat, wind brushing past.

“But right now, we don’t have time to mourn,” Elijah continued, eyes sharpening. “Goblin’s teleporter is damaged. I saw it on his suit—he’s scavenging parts to repair it.”

“Where’s he headed next?” Bowsette asked.

A shimmer flickered beside them as a holographic woman appeared—Lyla, Miguel’s AI assistant. Her blue projection looked worried.

“There’s another lab down the road. I scanned the chemicals he’s carrying. He’s heading there to complete his device. You might want to hurry.”

Elijah’s fists tightened. “Then we stop him. Before he escapes this dimension with our friends.”

Izuku nodded. “Let’s go.”

And with that, the chase resumed.

Chapter 58: Spider-Verse Arc Part II:Ghosts and Gravestones

Chapter Text

Inside a dimly lit, steel-walled chamber, the sound of whirring machinery and clanking tools echoed like ticking clocks of dread.

The younger Elijah and Psylocke were bound together by high-tension webbing, sitting back-to-back on the cold metal floor. Across the room, the Green Goblin hunched over a table of scattered tools and glowing tech fragments, frantically piecing together a cracked, sparking teleporter.

“Hurry up,” Goblin muttered to himself. “I’m not getting stranded in this pathetic universe.”

The younger Elijah struggled slightly, testing the web. “It’s reinforced. Can’t budge it.” He looked back toward Psylocke, voice low. “Hey… can I ask you something?”

“Make it quick,” she said, still trying to remain calm as she watched Goblin work.

“What… what exactly happened to the older me?” His voice was hesitant. “He’s strong. But the way he looks at Goblin… it’s more than hate.Also during the fight, he mentioned..Izumi.”

Psylocke paused for a long moment.

“…You deserve to know.Your green haired friend looks very much like her..Izumi…she meant the world to him only for that monster to take her away”

FLASHBACK:

Laughter echoed through the rooftop terrace of the Sanctum, city lights flickering like stardust behind them. Streamers tangled in the breeze, half-forgotten drinks glistened in red solo cups, and old war stories were being passed around like candy.

In the center of it all, stood Elijah, older and freshly shaven for once, arm draped proudly around Bullet, his fiancée. Her expression was its usual unreadable stoic—until she met his eyes. Then, for a flicker of a moment, there was softness.

Across the rooftop, Izumi approached with a gift in both hands and a shy but genuine smile on her face. Her long, fluffy green hair curled in rebellious swirls around her shoulders, her freckled cheeks slightly flushed.

"Congrats, you two," she said, holding out a neatly wrapped box. She wore a red and black sweater dress that swayed with each step. “Just… don’t make the wedding invitations explosive or anything, okay?”

Elijah laughed. “No promises.”

Bullet took the gift and gave a short, respectful nod. “Acknowledged. Thank you.”

Izumi chuckled. “You know, that would sound a lot warmer if you smiled when you said it.”

“I don’t… smile on command,” Bullet muttered, but her lips twitched faintly anyway.

The night wore on, guests trickled out, and the rooftop fell quiet under a blanket of moonlight. Bullet and Elijah remained, sitting side by side on the ledge overlooking the city.

“You’re staring again,” Bullet said, glancing sideways without turning her head.

“Can’t help it,” Elijah murmured with a grin. “You’re beautiful, love.”

Her cheeks reddened, barely visible in the low light. “He says that stuff out loud like it’s nothing… idiot.”

He leaned in close, brushing a strand of her white hair aside. “Idiot or not, I’m lucky.”

Before she could reply—

BZZZT.

Their communicators flared to life.

“Code Red. All heroes report immediately. Sinister Six attacking downtown.”

Bullet groaned, already standing. “Of course it’s them.”

Izumi reappeared in the doorway, tugging her gloves on. “Every time there's cake, those bastards show up.”

Bullet turned to Elijah, cupped his cheek, and kissed him hard and fast. “We finish this later,” she said with fire in her voice, pulling down her mask.

Elijah grinned, smacked her ass playfully. “Yes, ma’am.”

The Sinister Six tore the city in half like it was paper. Heroes spread out like wildfire, trying to contain the inferno.

Elijah faced Kraven and Toga, blood and sweat smearing across his costume as the battle dragged. Every punch hurt. Every second felt wrong.

He webbed them down—then his comm went dead.

Bullet’s signal. Gone.

Panic surged. He knew something was wrong.

He launched through the city, his heart pounding louder than the explosions. Sirens howled. Buildings collapsed. Somewhere in the distance, someone screamed.

He arrived just as the rooftop crumbled into embers.

Shattered glass littered the ground like dying stars. The stench of smoke filled his lungs.

And then—he saw her.

Bullet, limp in the Green Goblin’s arms. Her gauntlets were cracked. Her outfit torn and burnt. One boot was missing. Her brown skin was marred with cuts and burns—but her eyes, barely open, found him.

“Elijah…” she whispered.

His soul stopped.

“No!!”

He sprinted, but Goblin grinned with cruel amusement.

“I like her,” he said, voice thick with venom. “So fierce. So fragile.”

As he climbed up the bridge Then—he dropped her.

“NO!” Elijah screamed, leaping without thinking.

He fired a web, a desperate thread of hope—it caught her ankle. She swung like a pendulum and slammed hard against a broken girder, body limp like a rag doll.

He reeled her in, arms trembling.

“Bullet. Bullet! I got you—I got you—please—”

Her head lolled. No breath. No heartbeat.

Elijah clutched her tightly, holding her as if he could will her soul back in. His mask fell off as he sobbed, forehead pressed against hers, whispering her name like a broken record.

Moments later, Izumi arrived, winded, cuts bleeding freely down her arms. Psylocke followed, blades still drawn—but both froze the second they saw him.
Saw her.

Elijah rocked gently, cradling the woman he loved. Sirens roared beneath them. The Goblin's laugh echoed and faded.

That was the night something inside him died.

BACK TO PRESENT:

Psylocke’s voice was low and brittle. “He hasn’t smiled since. Not the same way. He blames himself. Every time he sees that monster… it’s like watching his soul get dragged through hell all over again.”

She looked away, her shoulders tense.

“He didn’t even want me near the mission at first. Like I was some fragile glass. Sometimes I wonder if I even matter to him, or if I’m just a reminder of what he lost.” She hesitated, then murmured, “That monster turned him into a ghost.”

The younger Elijah clenched his fists. His jaw trembled, but his voice came out steady—cold. “Then I’ll make that monster pay. For him. And for Bullet.”
Across the room, the Goblin chuckled to himself, admiring the glowing green core of his repaired teleporter like it was a twisted trophy.

Psylocke narrowed her eyes. “Listen—there’s a knife by that crate. If I can just—”

Elijah squirmed, trying to shift his weight—and accidentally grabbed Psylocke’s ass.

“Gah! Sorry!”

Her cheeks flushed, but she waved it off with practiced discipline. “Focus.”

Elijah blinked, noticing something—his foot barely touching the edge of a nearby box. A sliver of metal stuck out. A blade.

“I’ve got a better idea. On three, twist left.”

They both shifted at once—but in the process, his face landed squarely against her breast.

They both froze.

Goblin turned sharply.

“What are you two doing?!”

Psylocke cleared her throat, deadpan. “I had an itch.”

Without missing a beat, Elijah buried his face deeper. “Real bad itch,” he mumbled.

Goblin sneered in disgust. “Gross. Couldn’t get with ours, so now you’re creeping on the younger one? Certified pedophile.”

He turned back to his device, muttering about “heroes with no class.”

Once he looked away, they started inching toward the exit, inch by inch, their movements synchronized like dancers in a deadly ballet.

In the narrow vent just outside the lab, Bowsette and Izuku followed behind Elijah,Bowsette’s tail occasionally scraping against the wall, sparks flicking off.

“This place smells like a gym locker full of melted copper and testosterone,” she muttered.

“Classic villain lair,” Elijah replied, distracted.

Bowsette scooted a bit closer. “So… what’s the story with you and Psylocke?”

Elijah blinked. “What?”

“You heard me. The way she looked at you earlier—the hand on your cheek, the way she nearly broke the door to get to you? That’s not just teammates.”

“We’re just… friends. Colleagues,” he mumbled.

“Right. And I’m a vegetarian,” Bowsette muttered. “Elijah, that woman would jump into lava for you. That’s not just friends.”

Izuku, crawling behind them, added softly, “She did look heartbroken when you mentioned…Bullet.”

Elijah opened his mouth to deny it—but something pulled at his memory. A sharp pain, vivid and clear.

FLASHBACK...

A cold, stormy night.

Elijah stood in a graveyard, drenched in rain. A lone headstone before him read:

Bullet
Beloved. Brave. Gone too soon.
A true hero.

He was trembling. A gun dangled from his hand, slick with rain.

“I couldn’t save you,” he whispered. “I should’ve died instead…”

His knees buckled. The gun hit the stone with a dull clatter.

Then—arms. Around him. Warm.

Psylocke.

No judgment. No scolding. Just presence.

She knelt beside him, arms pulling him in.

“You’re not going out like this,” she said gently. “You’re not alone.”

“She was everything to me…” he choked. “There’s nothing left…”

“She wouldn’t want this. She wouldn’t want you to disappear too. You hear me? You’re not alone, Punk of Spiders.”

His hand trembled. The gun slipped from his grip. He collapsed into her arms, sobbing.

And she held him like she was holding together what was left of the world.

Back in the present…

Elijah’s breath hitched. “...I forgot about that night.”

Bowsette tilted her head, voice gentle. “You okay?”

“She… saved me,” he whispered. “At Bullet’s grave. I was ready to give up. And she didn’t say much. She didn’t judge. She just stayed.”

“Because she loves you,” Bowsette said bluntly. “ If I was in her shoes, and after everything that happened with Bullet, I would try to bury my feelings but still look after you and try to smile.”

Elijah looked down, guilt washing over his features like waves.

“I’ve been blind,” he muttered. “For so long…I'm an absolute wanker”

Bowsette smirked faintly. “Join the club. You know how many times I wanted to scream at my Eli-kun for missing the obvious? I've laid hints, until I accidentally let it slip after rescuing him and Bakugo from the league of villains”

“Well, you didn’t make it easy,” Izuku shot back.

“Yeah, yeah,” she rolled her eyes. “But if I was in Miss Psylocke's position, I would most likely stay with him, always check in on him whenever I can because..”

She paused, voice softening.

“Because I love him.”

Elijah chuckled under his breath. “Taking emotional advice from Bowser’s daughter in an alternate universe dating a version of me. This day just keeps getting weirder.”

Bowsette grinned. “Just talk to her, genius. Don’t need to fix everything. Just don’t run from the people who care.”

Elijah nodded. “Thanks.”

Lila appeared before them, her expression tense. “He’s close to finishing his teleporter. But... there might be a way to stop him for good. There’s a lab nearby—equipped to synthesize a cure. If we’re fast, we can permanently turn him back into Norman Osborn.”

Bowsette and Izuku exchanged a glance before turning to the older Elijah.

“We’ll keep the jolly green psycho busy while you cook up the cure,” Bowsette said with a sharp grin.

“I can’t believe you kids are even—”

“We’re not trying to win,” Izuku interrupted, calm but firm. “We’re just buying you time. Trust us.”

Elijah sighed, his features tight with worry. “Watch out for his pumpkin bombs. And Izuku—he’s fought versions of you before. Mine struggled with him, so don’t underestimate him.”

As Elijah crawled off through a maintenance shaft, Bowsette and Izuku slipped into the main chamber—and immediately froze.

Goblin stood smirking near his teleporter, while Psylocke and younger Elijah were tangled in a rather compromising position.

“Well, well. Just you two?” Goblin sneered. “Guess the spider decided not to come out and play.”

“We’re more than enough,” Bowsette snapped, leaping into action.

She spun into her shell and rocketed at him, but Goblin caught her mid-air and hurled her aside. She ricocheted off a wall and slammed into his back with brutal force. As he stumbled, Izuku surged forward.

“One For All: St. Louis… SMASH!”

His kick blasted Goblin across the lab, sending sparks and debris flying.

Bowsette landed beside the containment door and forced it open, freeing Psylocke and the younger Elijah.

She raised a brow at the awkward positioning. “Really? Wanna explain why your face was buried in her boobs?”

“It’s not what it—”

“Explain later,” she cut in, pulling them out. “You’re free. Let’s move.”

“Where’s Elijah?” Psylocke asked, already scanning the room for danger.

“He’s working on the cure,” Izuku answered. “We just need to hold Goblin off long enough.”

“If we can damage his suit, I can break through his mental defenses,” Psylocke said, forming a psychic blade in her hand.

Goblin groaned as he stood up, blood dribbling from his mouth. He grinned wildly. “Should’ve known I recognized you, girlie. Didn’t get to kill your version back home… Guess I’ll make up for it now.”

Elijah, Bowsette, and Izuku rushed him as Psylocke stayed back, reaching out with her mind.

::Elijah, can you hear me?::

::Yeah. I’m in the lab with Lila. Making progress. Five minutes. Maybe less.::

::Do you need my help?::

::Not yet. But… Betsy.::

::What is it?::

::I’m sorry.::

::For what? You don’t—::

::You’ve been carrying this weight. Watching over me. And I think… I think I finally understand.::

Her breath caught.

::Understand what?::

::How you feel.::

Psylocke’s eyes widened. Her pulse quickened. ::Feel? Me? I don’t—I don’t have time for feelings. I’m a warrior. I don’t love anyone—::

::Betsy…::

She hesitated.

::Let’s say… hypothetically… I did feel something. I wouldn’t want you to think I’m trying to replace Bullet.::

There was silence on the line—before Goblin’s roar snapped her back to reality. The others were struggling.

She gritted her teeth, summoned her full psychic energy, and dashed forward, her blade crackling to life in her hand.

“No more running,” she muttered. “Let’s finish this.”

The lab was chaos incarnate—flames, smoke, and the screeching cackle of the Green Goblin echoing off the walls.

Another pumpkin bomb flew, but Bowsette spun mid-air, her shell deflecting the explosion in a burst of embers. Across the room, the younger Elijah launched a venom blast that struck Goblin dead-on—only for the villain to shrug it off and retaliate with a brutal punch, following it up with a pumpkin bomb to the chest.

BOOM!

The younger Elijah was sent flying, but before he could crash, a hand caught him—his older self.

"Kept you waiting, huh?" the older Elijah said with a smirk.

“You finished it?” asked the younger Elijah, breathless.

“It won’t win any awards, but it should turn him back. I’ve got a plan—if you’re all in.”

Bowsette, Izuku, Psylocke, and both Elijahs quickly huddled up, whispering, nodding—then turned to face Goblin, who loomed like a twisted titan.

“NOW!” shouted Elijah.

Izuku grabbed Bowsette’s shell and held tight as the older Elijah sprinted forward. With explosive strength, he hurled them like a rocket.
Fastball special.

“GO, DEKU!” shouted Bowsette from inside.

Izuku twisted mid-air and launched her shell with pinpoint precision. It smashed into Goblin’s chest with a crack, sending him stumbling.

With a fiery burst, Bowsette erupted from the shell, airborne, glowing.

“Hope you like it hot!”

She unleashed a stream of scorching fire breath, searing through Goblin’s armor and forcing him to his knees.

“RRRAAGH!” he roared, pounding the ground in fury.

Bowsette dropped hard, her aura glowing red-hot. Her eyes flared. War God Mode: Activated.

She moved like a thunderclap—raking her claws across his torso, slicing deep into his armor. Each strike crackled with energy, then—WHIP!—her tail struck his gut like a sledgehammer.

He snarled and retaliated, striking her and sending her crashing through a reinforced window.

“BOWSETTE!” the older Elijah shouted—memories of Bullet's fall flashing in his mind.

Without hesitation, he dove after her, catching her mid-air shoots a web to the wall and sticks to it holding her.

“You okay?” he asked, voice tight with emotion.

“Y-Yeah,” she coughed, surprised.

He near tears up but chuckles softly, holding her close. “(Glad...I got to save someone this time...)”

She blinked. “Are you okay?”

He nodded, steadying his breath. “Always.” He pulled his mask back on.

Back inside...

Goblin reeled, but before he could recover, Psylocke charged in, psychic sword blazing.

“For the last time—STAY DOWN!”

She plunged her blade into his shoulder, drawing a scream from him.

“You call that a fight?” he sneered, blood dripping from his mouth as he grabbed her by the throat and lifted her.

“You think you can stop me?! I’ve torn apart stronger!”

Suddenly, his body jerked. His eyes widened.

He staggered—his expression shifting from rage to shock.

Behind him, the younger Elijah stood, panting, a small injector pressed against Goblin’s back.

“You talk too much,” Elijah muttered.

Goblin swayed, clutching his side. The serum worked quickly—his enhanced strength draining as confusion set in.

“No... not like this…”

“Together!” the Elijahs shouted.

With synchronized fury, both Elijahs sprinted in, fists drawn back.

BOOM.

Their twin punches hit center mass, launching Goblin into the teleporter console. Metal crumpled. Sparks burst.

Silence.

Smoke filled the air. Goblin slumped, armor flickering out. His monstrous face began to shift—mutating in reverse.

Green skin faded to pale. Red eyes dulled to blue. The beast was gone.

Norman Osborn blinked up at the ceiling, dazed.

“…Where… am I?”

Izuku lowered his fists, breath ragged. “We did it.”

Bowsette dropped to her knees, exhausted but grinning. “Hell yeah we did.”

Psylocke approached Elijah quietly, eyes still locked on Norman. “Is it really over?”

The older Elijah looked at her and gave a small nod, pulling her into a gentle embrace. “For now… yeah. It’s over.”

SIRENS.

The sound of police grew near.

“Time to go,” said Izuku.

The older Elijah hoisted Norman over his shoulder, and they slipped into the shadows. Once on a rooftop, he activated a device on his gauntlet, opening a swirling portal to the Spider Society.

Before stepping through, he turned to the trio.

“You kids… you really came through. Thank you,” he said, removing his mask.

“You have my thanks as well,” added Psylocke, bowing her head.

“No problem,” said the younger Elijah.

Bowsette suddenly gasped. “OH CRAP. Mr. Aizawa is gonna kill us. We missed class! And we broke, like, thirty laws—”

A familiar shimmer of light.

Lyla appeared.

“Relax. All security footage in this building’s been wiped. As far as anyone’s concerned, you weren’t here. And as for UA? We’ll return you to the exact moment you left.”

Izuku sighed with relief. Bowsette gave a sheepish thumbs-up.

“Oh—but we do need those Spider-Suits back,” Lyla added with a wink. “And remember: no talking about the Spider-Verse. If you do… memory wipe. Easy.”

Moments later, within the Spider Society—

The trio, now back in their UA uniforms, stood before a portal.

Izuku turned with a grin, waving goodbye before stepping in.

Bowsette followed, blowing a playful wink at Psylocke before disappearing through the light.

The younger Elijah was next, but the older version stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.

He handed him a sleek, red-and-black watch.

“Miguel said you earned this. If you ever wanna visit… just call. Maybe we’ll even write some music.”

The younger Elijah chuckled. “You gonna be okay?”

The older Elijah looked to Psylocke, her gaze warm but unreadable, then back at him.

“I will be.”

Elijah nodded and stepped into the portal, vanishing home.

Chapter 59: Spider-Verse Arc Part III:Permission to Move On

Chapter Text

The battle was over. The dust had settled. After returning from the multiverse to theirs, Elijah and Betsy Braddock—Psylocke found themselves standing quietly in his apartment.
The silence was thick but not uncomfortable—more like the calm that follows a storm.

Betsy stood by the window, arms folded, her gaze distant. “You’re always throwing yourself into danger,” she murmured, barely above a whisper. “Taking the hits… apologizing like it makes it okay.”

Elijah stood across the room, his mask resting on the table beside him. His shoulders slumped with exhaustion, yet his eyes remained locked on her.

“I know,” he said softly. “I’m not perfect, Betsy. But I’m trying.”

She turned to face him then, her eyes narrowing with emotion. “You saved Norman. Those kids. Me. Again.”

A beat passed. She took a step closer.

“And still… I hate how close I came to losing you. Again.”

Elijah’s jaw tensed, heart pounding as he watched her advance.

“As for earlier… Elijah, I’ve always—”

She didn’t get to finish.

He closed the space between them in a heartbeat and kissed her.

Her eyes widened, startled—but only for a second. Then she melted into it, arms wrapping around his neck, fingers tangling in his hair like she’d been waiting years for this. His hands gripped her waist gently, grounding them both in a moment that finally felt real.

When they parted, his forehead rested against hers, their breaths mingling.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered. “I should’ve done that a long time ago.”

Betsy smiled, eyes warm. “Then stop apologizing and do it again” she whispered before kissing him again—firmer, deeper.

KNOCK KNOCK.

They both turned toward the door.

“Elijah?” called Izumi Midoriya, her voice soft. “I just… wanted to check on you. I know we haven’t talked much lately, but... I was worried when Betsy went quiet as well.”

Elijah sighed, still leaning into Betsy. “I’ve got a lot of apologies to make.”

“I’ll be with you,” Betsy said, fixing her hair as she gently pulled back.

He nodded, offering a small smile. “I hope so.”

Meanwhile, in My Hero Universe…

Bowsette sat cross-legged at the edge of Elijah’s bed, clad in her black-and-gray striped sweater dress, while Elijah sat awkwardly on the floor in front of her, his cheeks pink with guilt and confusion.

“I can’t believe you waited till after class to bring this up,” he muttered.

Bowsette’s eyes were shadowed as she leaned forward. “Start talking. How exactly did you and Ms.Psylocke end up like that?”

Elijah groaned. “It’s not what it looked like. The first time, I accidentally pressed against her—uh—rear. The second time... it just kinda happened.”

Bowsette tilted her head, expression unreadable. “Uh-huh. And that stupid grin you had afterward? Says you liked it.”

He sighed, rubbing his face. “Fine. Maybe a little. Go ahead, hit me.”

Before he could brace himself, Bowsette grabbed him by the collar and yanked him into her chest, smirking like a smug queen claiming victory.

“Elijah,” she muttered, her cheeks a bit red, “Just so we’re clear—mine are definitely bigger.”

His face went nuclear red. “B-Bowsie?!”

She held him there a second longer before letting go and flopping back onto the bed, satisfied.

“That was my revenge,” she said, crossing her arms. “… are you happy?”

Elijah sat up, scratching the back of his neck, a soft smile tugging at his lips. “Yeah. I think I am.”

Bowsette nudged him playfully with her foot. “Good.I still can't believe there are other versions of you.Wonder if there are different versions of me?”

Back in the older Elijah and Betsy….

A candlelit dinner flickered softly in a quiet apartment.

The other Elijah twirled a bit of pasta on his fork, watching Betsy across the table.

“So,” he said casually, “how long have you had a crush on me?”

She flushed. “Well… I’ve always admired how you put others before yourself. When the X-Men were struggling with the Brotherhood, you didn’t have to help, but you did. And that time you took off your mask for that frightened child—showed him he had nothing to be afraid of. How could I not fall for you?”

Elijah leaned forward, resting a hand on her cheek. “I see...”

“You probably think that’s silly—”

“Not at all,” he interrupted gently.

She smiled. “I thought we said no more apologies.”

He chuckled. “Right.”

“So… what exactly is this?” she asked, voice hesitant.

He shrugged softly. “Why don’t we start off slow?”

Betsy nodded. “O-of course. Start off slow.”

Hours Later…

Clothes lay scattered across the floor.

Betsy stretched atop Elijah, her body bare against his as she traced slow circles across his chest.

“Was that your idea of slow?” she teased, breath warm against his skin.

Elijah smirked. “Not even close. We’re definitely dating now.”

She kissed him softly, lips brushing his jaw. “Wanna go again?”

His answer came in the form of kitten kisses trailing down her neck.

Moans, panting, and laughter filled the room—two souls finally letting go of their burdens, if only for the night.

The next day…

The sun barely peeked through the overcast sky as Elijah stood in front of Bullet’s gravestone nestled beneath a lone tree on the hill. The wind whispered gently, tugging at his coat as he kept his hands in his pockets.

He knelt slowly, brushing a few leaves from the base. A fresh bouquet of white lilies lay at the foot.

“Hey,” Elijah said softly. “I’m sorry I haven’t visited in a while. Things got... complicated.”

He sat down cross-legged in front of the grave, letting the quiet settle before speaking again.

“I was gone. For a long time. Another universe, actually. Or a few. You’d probably laugh if I told you everything. I met another version of me—one who hadn’t lost as much yet. I saw things... I never thought I’d see again. People I thought were gone. Possibilities I’d buried.”

A small smile tugged at his lips.

“Betsy. You always said I needed someone who could challenge me—and probably punch me when I deserved it.” He chuckled softly. “She’s that. And more. We’re... together now. Took me long enough.”

His smile faded a little, eyes growing distant.

“I still remember the look on your face that day. The last one. I couldn’t stop it. I wasn’t fast enough. I wasn’t enough.”

His voice faltered, carried away by the breeze.

“But this time, Bullet... I did something different. There was this kid. She reminded me of you. Same fire, same recklessness. And I stopped it. I got there in time. I made a different choice.”

He let the silence linger again. The wind moved through the trees, as if nature itself listened.

“I think about you every day. I always will.There won't be a day where I don't think about you…but I can’t keep carrying this weight like I used to. It’s killing me.”

He looked down at his hands, flexing them slowly.

“I came to ask you something…I need to move forward. I need to live again. Not just survive. I want to laugh, and love, and build something with Betsy.”

He placed a hand gently against the stone.

“I hope that’s okay. I think you’d want that for me.. right?”

The wind shifted gently, and a leaf landed in his lap. He picked it up, holding it between his fingers, then smiled.

“I’ll keep telling your story. I’ll never forget you. But I’m going to be okay now. I promise.”

He stood, brushing the grass from his coat.

“I love you, Bullet. And thank you…for everything.”

As he turned to leave, he paused, glancing back at the gravestone one last time.

This time, it didn’t hurt as much.

And for the first time in a long time… Elijah walked away with peace in his heart.

Chapter 60: Dabi and Willow's Wedding

Chapter Text

The moon hung high, casting silver light across the ruins of an old cathedral nestled deep in a forest long forgotten. Vines crawled up broken stone pillars, and rows of chairs were haphazardly arranged beneath shattered stained glass. Candles flickered in floating orbs of blue fire, illuminating the night with a cold, haunting beauty.

Willow stood inside a room lit only by a single lamp. Her dress was pitch black, shimmering subtly like obsidian under moonlight. Lace traced along her arms, thorns embroidered across the corset like an ode to both elegance and defiance. Her long white-silver hair had been braided back, wild yet composed, her eyes calm.

Toga peeked into the room with a grin. “You good in there, dark queen?” she asked, dressed in a twisted version of a bridesmaid dress, blood-red and full of slashes. Wink, in a neater version of the same with a hood covering her face, followed behind, offering Willow a thumbs-up.

Willow looked at them through the mirror. “I’m fine. Just thinking.”

Toga groaned. “Seriously? A midnight wedding? You’re lucky I love you. My beauty sleep’s on the line.”

“If we had it in the daytime, I would burst into flames in front of Dabi” Willow said, deadpan.

Wink giggled softly, but Willow smirked and turned around. “Come on, you two. You knew this wasn’t going to be normal.”

Toga rolled her eyes. “No one here is normal.Speaking of normal, where's that boyfriend of yours?”

Wink sighes“Daken isn't there.Oh you may not want to stay too close to him, he has a bit of an attitude.”

Willow stepped outside soon after, the cold wind brushing over her skin like an old friend. She made her way through the crumbling cathedral until she found Shigaraki, standing under the archway, scratching at his neck idly. His red eyes lifted as she approached, curiosity evident.

She stopped in front of him, tone uncharacteristically gentle. “Thank you for showing up.”

“Get to the point,” Shigaraki muttered, frowning.

Willow took a breath. “My father is dead. And I’m not talking about Venom. I’ll never accept that man as my father. Since you are the leader of the League of Villains… and someone I respect…”

She met his gaze.

“Would you walk me down the aisle?”

For a second—just one—Shigaraki was visibly surprised. His fingers twitched at his side. “You’re serious?”

“I am.”

His eyes narrowed. “I’ll do it… only if you tell me Dabi’s real name.”

Willow didn’t even blink. “Though you are our leader, and you have my respect, of course… I will not betray the man I love.”

A long silence passed between them. Then, slowly, Shigaraki sighed, letting out something almost like a laugh—but not quite.

“...You’re a pain in the ass,” he muttered. “Fine. Let’s go.”

As they walk away, she couldn't help but smile.

The music began to echo—a slow, haunting instrumental played on strings that sounded half-broken, yet beautiful. Guests of all kinds(Mainly the original members of The League of villains) turned their heads as Shigaraki stepped into the aisle, escorting Willow making sure not to touch her.

Eyes widened. Even Dabi straightened up at the altar, his ever-casual smirk faltering for a split second as he saw her.

The priest, a quivering civilian who owed the League a favor, swallowed hard and tried not to faint under the pressure of Dabi’s stare.

Dabi stood at the end, dressed in all black—a suit tailored just enough to be formal but worn like armor. His hair was slicked back for once, scars illuminated in candlelight. And when Willow reached him, he didn’t say a word—just took her hands, his fingers lacing through hers.

“You look like something out of a dream,” he muttered low enough for only her to hear.

“Funny. I was going to say the same.”

Shigaraki stepped back, folding his arms and watching. For once, there was something solemn in his eyes. Maybe even approval.

The priest nervously cleared his throat. “D-do you… Dabi… take this woman to be your—your—”

“Yeah,” Dabi said, not even waiting. “I do.”

“And you, Willow—”

“I do,” she said clearly.

When the priest stammered, “Y-you may kiss the—” Dabi pulled her in, crashing his lips to hers before he could finish.

The crowd erupted into wild cheers, some howls, some clapping—Toga screamed, “FINALLY!” while Wink tossed black petals into the air with a proud grin but no one could see.

Dabi held Willow close, forehead resting against hers. “We’re married now. No take-backs.”

Willow smiled. “I never planned on backing out.”

And under the shattered roof of an old cathedral, where villains gathered and the stars burned above, they kissed once more—two souls forged by fire and shadow, sealing their bond in a night that belonged to them.

The reception was a blend of chaos and dark elegance.

Villains danced under the broken moonlight as violet lanterns hovered above, casting ghostly hues across the ruined cathedral grounds. Drinks flowed, laughter echoed, and a custom cake in the shape of a burning city sat mostly untouched on a long blackened table.

Dabi stood at the edge of the celebration, coat off, sleeves rolled up, his tie long discarded. The night was loud, but his mind was elsewhere—calm, reflective, still basking in the surreal truth that he was married now.

Then the sound of a lighter flicking cut through the air.

From the shadows of the veranda stepped a tall man—pale, built like a lean predator, with black hair and lavender undercut, swept bangs, and piercing garnet-red eyes. A silver glint caught Dabi’s attention—the guy had cartilage piercings lining both ears and wore a spiked choker over his crisp pure-black suit, tailored but worn with a casual edge.
He lit a cigarette and exhaled slow, smoke curling like a dragon around his words.

“If it isn’t the man of the hour. Congratulations.”

Dabi narrowed his eyes. “Who exactly are you?”

The man took another drag, then smirked.

“Guess we haven’t been properly introduced. Which is funny… since we both have the same issue.”

He stepped closer, footsteps deliberate but relaxed.

“Name’s Daken.”

Dabi stared, the name unfamiliar—but the vibe instantly suspicious.

“What do you mean, ‘same issue’?”

Daken leaned in, dropping his voice low enough that only Dabi could hear.

“We both had fathers who wear hero mask… but were complete scum underneath.”

Dabi stiffened. His eyes sharpened.

“What are you—”

Snikt.

Three claws shot out from Daken’s hand, gleaming beneath the moonlight—sleek, deadly.

“You’ve heard of the Wolverine, right?” Daken said, almost bored. “Yeah… I’m his kid.”

He tilted his head, eyes glinting with something dangerous and nostalgic.

“Because of him, my mother is dead. Torn apart by betrayal wrapped in a hero’s name.”

Dabi didn’t respond. He didn’t have to. His clenched jaw and still hands said enough.

Daken took another drag, casually retracting his claws.

“You’ve got the same scent, by the way. Not just the fire and ash—but something deeper. Rebellion. Rage. Family wounds.”

He started to walk off, throwing a glance over his shoulder.

“We should talk another time. For now—enjoy your day, groom.”

As Dabi stood there, processing the encounter, Daken made his way toward the crowd—specifically toward Wink, who was just pouring herself a glass of blood-red wine.

He grabbed her by the waist and kissed her right through the hood.

She blinked, then pulled back slowly.

“Want to tell me what that was about?” she asked, one eyebrow raised behind her hood.

Daken’s hand casually slid down to her ass, squeezing with a smirk.

“Depends on later tonight.”

Wink snorted a laugh, rolling her eyes. “You’re lucky you’re hot.”

She didn’t stop him, though.

Back on the veranda, Dabi eyes still watches the crowd. A new player had just entered the game—and he wasn't sure yet if Daken was trouble… or the kind of trouble he could learn from.

Either way, tonight was far from over.

He barely reacted when Willow approached, her long black dress flowing like ink in the breeze, the faint glow of her crimson eyes catching what little light remained.

“You good?” she asked softly, stepping up beside him.

Dabi exhaled slowly, the smoke drifting from his nose. “Yeah. Just needed a moment. Been a weird night.”

Willow tilted her head. “Weird even for us?”

He chuckled faintly. “Apparently. Some guy came up to me. Tall, smug, said his name was Daken. met him?”

Willow smiled faintly, like she'd been expecting this.

“I have,” she said. “Back when we got back to base after dealing with the Hassaikai mess. He showed up uninvited. Same attitude as now—casual, confident, doesn’t knock.”

Dabi raised a brow. “And you just let him hang around?”

Willow crossed her arms and shrugged. “He’s Wink’s boyfriend.”

Dabi blinked. “Seriously?”

Willow nodded. “Yeah. It’s… complicated. But it works for her.”

There was a pause. She glanced sideways at him, gauging his reaction.

“Honestly,” she added, “I think you two would get along. You’ve got that same ‘I’ve been through hell and I’m not apologizing for it’ vibe. Except he’s a bit more… flirty.”

Dabi scoffed. “Yeah, I noticed.”

Willow smirked and bumped her shoulder lightly against his. “You survived our wedding. You’ll survive meeting your wife’s chaotic extended circle.”

Dabi looked at her with a small, real smile. “This whole thing’s surreal.”

Willow stepped closer, resting her head briefly on his shoulder.

“You deserve it, Dabi. The peace. The love. Even the weirdness.”

He didn’t say anything right away. Just took another drag and looked out at the quiet stars.

“Thanks,” he muttered. “For being you.”

Willow grinned. “Well, someone had to keep you from setting the cake on fire.”

They stood together in silence for a few more seconds, the weight of the night finally settling into something calm.

Chapter 61: Daken and Wink-Origin

Notes:

Hey guys,sorry it's been a while but here is a short chapter to make up for it and the next coming soon.

Chapter Text

The warehouse had once belonged to a rival faction of villains—traitors to the League. Shigaraki had given them one order: take everything of value and leave no trace.

Daken and The Wink stood before the heavy rusted door, her form draped in living shadows, his in a sleek black combat suit, claws twitching with anticipation.

Inside were four armed individuals—mercs and low-tier metas.

Wink’s voice was calm, almost seductive.

“We’re only here for your supplies. Step aside, and we’ll leave you breathing.”

The mercs glanced at one another, then lifted their weapons.

“We don’t take orders from the League,” the leader spat.

Daken rolled his eyes.

“You just had to pick the stupid option.”

Moments later, the room was coated in shadow and smoke. Tendrils ripped through the air, binding and snapping limbs, while Daken darted between bodies, claws flashing crimson under the emergency lights. Blood sprayed against crates, walls, and steel pipes.

One tried to flee—only for a long glove-blade to pierce through his chest, coiling like a whip and retracting instantly.

Silence.

A rooftop, several blocks away.They landed together, the air crisp and damp from the night's rain. Daken lit a cigarette, flicking the lighter with practiced ease. Wink stood near the ledge, darkness still swirling at her heels.

Without a word, Daken reached over and pulled down her hood.

Revealed, beneath the veil of smoke, was a beautiful yet scarred young woman. Deep green eyes, tight black curls, and a jagged mark across the left side of her face—a reminder of betrayal and survival.

Daken leaned in and kissed her without hesitation. His hands traveled over the smooth surface of her latex sleeveless leotard, stopping to cup her ass, squeezing with a familiar hunger.

“Mmm…” Benedetta smirked against his lips.

In an instant, they vanished, teleporting through the 5th dimension.

Their apartment – Moments Later...

Clothes discarded, limbs entangled, breathless heat filled the room. She rode him like a storm—smoke trailing from her fingers as she clawed his back, and he met her rhythm with a feral growl. When it was over, they lay tangled in satin sheets, the city outside humming faintly.

Daken stared at the ceiling.

“When did I fall for a magician?” he muttered.

Wink—Benedetta Gaetani—chuckled lowly.

“You mean The Great Gaetani’s daughter?”

“You never told me everything,” he said quietly.

She turned to face him, expression soft.

“I was a ghost before you, Daken.”

She told him—about Aldo & Corazon, the world-famous magician couple. About being an awkward, unwanted child backstage while her mother basked in the spotlight. About Aldo’s descent into debt and madness. The infamous “Disappearance” illusion, the night her mother abandoned her, and the scars the mob left behind. How her father was murdered, how she vanished from the world... and became a rumor.

How Roekel, the quirk scientist, found her. Promised her safety. Promised her mother. How she almost believed him—until Daken found her.

He had shown her the truth: surveillance footage, recordings, schematics of Roekel’s twisted experiments. That very night, she helped Daken slaughter Roekel and his men.

“You taught me to take control of my body. To become The Wink. You gave me the only thing no one ever had before… a choice.”

A silence hung in the air, filled only by their breath.

She touched her scar absently.

“Why don’t they bother you? The marks?”

Daken turned, brushing her curls aside to plant a kiss on the scar itself.

“Because they’re not bad. They’re beautiful. They tell the truth about you. That you survived. That you don’t hide anymore.”

Wink blinked slowly, her emerald eyes misting just a little—before she grinned, wicked and sweet.

“Then I guess I’ll have to show you how I wear them best.”

With a snap of her fingers, shadows devoured the light once more.

Daken sat at the edge of the bed, shirtless, cigarette in hand. Wink lay asleep behind him, a tangle of dark curls and sheets. Moonlight filtered in through the cracked blinds.

He exhaled slowly and narrowed his eyes.

“Funny…” he muttered to Benedatta. “Out of all the blood I’ve spilled, that night still burns brightest.”

Flashback – Years Earlier-European city, night...

Daken watches from a rooftop, masked in shadow. Below, in a narrow, dimly lit alley, Roekel, dressed in his usual fine coat and silver gloves, speaks to a young woman in a black hooded cloak—Benedetta Gaetani.

Her stance is guarded but hopeful.

Roekel’s tone is warm. Charming. Manipulative.

“We can reunite you with your mother. Protect you from the ones who hurt you. You’re not alone anymore, Benedetta.”

She doesn’t answer immediately.

Daken narrows his eyes.

EXT. BENEDETTA’S TEMPORARY APARTMENT – LATER THAT NIGHT

Daken leans against the wall outside her window. She storms out, arms crossed.

“Why are you following me?”

“Because you don’t know what Roekel really is,” Daken says coldly.

“He’s helping me!” she snaps. “He understands what I’ve been through.”

“No,” Daken replies, pulling out a small data drive. “He’s using you. Just like he used the others.”

He tosses it into his laptop and placed it into a desk.he signals for her to watch which she did while narrowing her eyes at him.

Footage plays: twisted rooms, test subjects sobbing—pieces of people with quirks dissected, wired to machines.

Benedetta’s hand flies to her mouth in horror.

And then—one file catches her attention.

“Subject: Corazon Gaetani.”

Her eyes go wide. It’s her mother. Strapped to a chair, quirk inhibitors locking her abilities. Her once-beautiful face blank with sedation.

Benedetta falls to her knees, trembling. Her voice is shattered glass.

“No… Mama… I thought she left. I thought—she… planned this.”

Daken kneels beside her, placing a hand gently on her back.

“He took her. She never left you. He just took her and used her.”

She sobs into his chest.

EXT. ROEKEL’S LAB COMPOUND – THE NEXT DAY

Benedetta was dressed in a long red coat and black lace gloves. Her hood concealed most of her face, except the scar that made her avoid every mirror. Daken followed her through the night streets like a shadow, keeping his distance. She knew he was watching her.She looked up for his signal.

Not yet.

Inside Roekel's lab, she stood still, nervous, eyes wide as monitors lit up with twisted x-rays, quirk maps, genetic mutations.

Roekel, all charm and smirking cruelty, extended a hand.

“You’re more than just smoke and magic, my dear. You are a breakthrough.”

Benedetta didn’t speak. Not until the screen behind him flickered—then glitched—then played hidden footage Daken had spliced in.

Footage of Roekel.
Talking to mercs.
Discussing what to do after her usefulness ended.
How Benedetta was “ripe for harvesting.”

Her hands trembled.

“You lied to me”she whispered glaring at him.

Roekel snarled, stepping back.

(Writer's note:Listen to Monaco by Bad Bunny instrumental,fits the scene..)

Benedatta stood still for one long second.

Then she dropped her hands.

The room darkened.

Her shadows came alive, coiling like snakes across the walls. Molecules in the air shimmered. Roekel’s men rushed in but were ripped into the fifth dimension—screaming, fading, gone.

He turns as Daken approaches alone.

“Ah. The disappointment returns.”

“Funny,” Daken replies. “You always said I was the broken one. A failed version of Laura. Of my old man. But I’m still standing, and you’re still hiding behind lies.”

Roekel laughs.

“You’ll never live up to your sister. You never had her control, her poise. You were just claws and anger—”

His claws punched through Roekel’s chest like hot knives. Blood spattered onto Benedetta’s boots. Roekel gagged, eyes wide, sputtering blood.

“I’m not her,” Daken whispered in his ear. “But I’m the one you should’ve feared.”

He dropped the corpse like garbage.

As the flames from the building behind them grew, Daken turned away.

“Go home, Gaetani.”

“Where’s that?” she asked, softly.

He far enough for the compound to be just a distant flame.

Daken wipes the blood from his claws and turns to her.

“You shouldn’t follow me. I’m not what you need.”

She takes a step forward, eyes fierce even through her tears.

“I am following you. Because you’re the only one who told me the truth. The only one who gave a damn.”

BACK TO PRESENT...

Daken stares at the smoke curling from his cigarette.

“That was the first time someone ever chose me,” he mutters. “Even now, I still don’t know why.”

Wink rises, walks over, and sits behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist. She presses a kiss to the back of his shoulder, then to his neck.

“I had nowhere else to go,” she whispers. “Roekel promised answers. But you gave me something more than that—you gave me the truth. You gave me a reason to fight again.”

He turns to face her. Their foreheads touch.

“I’m not a hero, Benedetta. I’m not some shining light.”

“Neither were they,” she says, brushing her fingers along his scarred chest. “They did nothing for me. You did. That’s all that matters.”

He sighs, hands settling at her hips.

“You’re insane for staying with me.”

“Probably,” she smirks. “But that’s what love looks like for people like us.”

Chapter 62: Spiderpunk vs Static?

Chapter Text

Morning sunlight filtered through the treetops as Bowsette and Elijah walked side by side along the sidewalk toward U.A. High. The usual banter between them was absent this time. Their steps were quiet, thoughtful.

Elijah had his hands in his pockets, his usual swagger slightly dulled as he glanced to the side. Bowsette noticed his silence.

“You alright?” she asked softly.

Elijah let out a breath and gave a faint smirk. “Yeah, I’m fine. Just… still thinkin’ about yesterday. That whole broadcast, y’know?”

Bowsette nodded, and his mind drifted—back to the dorms, the living room, and the weight that had fallen over them all like a cold blanket.

Flashback – U.A. Dorms, The Night Before…

The TV flickered, showing live footage from the city. Flames roared across buildings as civilians screamed and fled in panic.

“Breaking news: A powerful Nomu has appeared in downtown Hosu. The pro heroes are struggling to contain the threat…”

The camera cut to him—Endeavor, Japan’s new Number One Hero, battered and bleeding, locked in brutal combat with a massive, horrifying creature: Hood.

“No way,” Elijah muttered under his breath, eyes locked on the screen.

Izuku sat on the couch, fists clenched. “That Nomu… it’s on another level…”

The room was tense. Even Kaminari wasn’t making a joke. No one moved, not until they heard footsteps.

Shoto Todoroki walked in, silent and stone-faced, but his eyes darted straight to the screen.

Hood’s claws tore through Endeavor’s side, sending him crashing into a building.

“Bloody hell…” Elijah whispered.

Everyone stared in horror as the broadcast continued.

Endeavor stood again, flames flickering violently around him. He roared, pushing himself further—

“PROMINENCE BURN!!”

The screen filled with light.

As the smoke cleared, the Nomu fell.

And Endeavor, injured and barely standing, raised a flaming fist in victory.

The camera panned to the crowd… to a young man watching with tears in his eyes—Shoto’s older brother.

Then, finally, back to Shoto himself.

He dropped to his knees, eyes wide, breathing hard. Relief written all over his face.

Izuku’s voice broke the silence.

“He… he did it.”

Elijah leaned forward, staring.

“…Mad bastard really pulled it off.”

Back to Present…

Elijah blinked, the memory still fresh in his mind. “Can’t get that image outta my head—bloke nearly died and still stood tall at the end. Never thought I’d say it, but… he earned that top spot.”

Bowsette hummed in agreement. “Izuku cried when Shoto dropped to his knees. Said he could feel the weight of it.”

“El ain’t the only one.” Elijah looked up ahead as the school gates came into view. “Even I felt somethin’ watchin’ that. And I ain’t exactly a fan of big flaming egos.”

As they entered the building, they passed classmates huddled together, talking in hushed tones.

“Did you see Endeavor last night? He looked half-dead…”

“Yeah, but he didn’t back down.”

“I didn’t think anyone could follow All Might… but maybe…”

Inside Class 1-A, the room was buzzing.

Kirishima looked up as they walked in. “Yo, Hendrix! Koopa! You guys agree,right it was so manly?!”

Elijah gave a small grin. “See it? Mate, I was holdin’ me breath the whole bloody time.”

Sero shook his head. “He was on fire. Literally.”

“Don’t forget Hawks was amazing…” added Uraraka.

“Not to mention dreamy”Hagakure added.

“Definitely” Ferisha added.

Bowsette nodded firmly but then noticed Elijah staring but looked away.

As the class continued chatting but then Todoroki walks in.

Izuku walks up to him, Elijah leaned closer to Bowsette and murmured, “World’s changin’, innit? Heroes gettin’ pushed harder than ever.”

Bowsette looked at him, then nodded. “Which means we gotta work just as hard.”

Just then, Eraser Head entered the classroom, coffee in hand and scarf draped around his shoulders, ready to give his usual half-hearted greeting.

“Alright, class—sit dow—”

He paused, surprised.

The entire class was already seated, facing forward with unusual discipline.

“…Huh. That’s… unexpected,” he muttered under his breath before straightening up. “Well, good. Stay like that.”

He stepped toward the front, eyes narrowing.

“It’s time to stop playing around and start getting serious. Things only get harder from here.”

The room fell completely silent.

“You may only have provisional licenses, but that still means something. You’ve been certified to act as heroes… officially. Or—”

His eyes scanned the room.

“—most of you have.”

Elijah blinked, then slowly turned his head to look at Bakugo, who was glaring at the floor with clenched fists.

“…Oi,” Elijah whispered. “Still in the kiddie pool, yeah?”

Bakugo gritted his teeth but didn’t respond. Todoroki, sitting calmly, didn’t react either.

Aizawa continued, tone firm and dry.

“Two of you remain in supplemental courses. That needs to change fast. Starting today, we’re kicking your training up a notch. So be prepared.”

He opened his mouth to begin the day’s lecture—
But then—

WEE-OOO! WEE-OOO!

Red lights flashed across the ceiling, and a robotic voice echoed through the room:

“Emergency drill. Emergency drill. Hypothetical villains have infiltrated U.A. High School grounds. Assistance from Hero Course Class 1-A requested immediately.”

The wall behind them rumbled, then split apart, revealing vertical slots containing suitcases—each embossed with their names and holding their hero costumes.

“Please change into your hero costumes and report to designated emergency response zones as soon as possible.”

Iida stood up in an instant, hand raised in a sharp salute.

“You heard the announcement, everyone! Let’s move swiftly and professionally!”

“YEAH!” the class echoed in unison, springing from their seats with excitement—

Except for Elijah, Bakugo, and Todoroki.

Elijah stood slowly, slinging his coat over his shoulder and muttering in his signature Cockney accent,

“Another bloody drill, huh? Hope it’s got more bite than the last one.”

Todoroki said nothing, simply rising and heading for the suitcases with quiet focus.

Bowsette approached Elijah with a smirk. “You’re not excited?”

He gave her a sideways grin. “Oh, I’m ready—just savin’ me energy for the moment the fun begins.”

Minutes later…

Location: Simulated Disaster Zone, West Block

The debris had barely settled when Elijah, now suited up in his black and red Spiderpunk outfit—spikes along the shoulders, torn denim patches stitched into the design, and glowing webbing lines pulsing with bio-electricity—helped lift a beam off one of the mock "injured" students for the Rescue Team.

“Gotcha, mate,” he said, offering a quick salute before spinning around. “Next casualty?”

Just then, a violent gust swept through the area, and a loud hum buzzed overhead.

Smoke exploded from a hidden canister, making everyone tense.

As it cleared—

NEJIRE HADO hovered above the group, her spiraling energy tendrils swirling around her like ribbons. Mina Ashido hung suspended behind her, arms and legs tied up by glowing energy bands.

“Hey, hey! Don’t think the game’s over yet!” Nejire said, spinning midair with a grin.

“Do you guys remember me?~ I’m the villain today~!”

“So Hado’s playing a bad guy in this drill?” Izuku blinked, confused but intrigued.

Then—

ZING!

Elijah’s Spider-Sense screamed.

Before he could think, he grabbed Momo and dove left—

CRASH! A blast scorched the spot they’d just occupied.

“W-what?!” Momo gasped—only to go red as she realized Elijah’s hand had landed squarely on her chest.

He quickly recoiled, eyes wide. “Bloody hell—! I didn’t mean—!”

“I-it’s fine! Focus!” Momo said, cheeks still burning.

Elijah whipped around, crouched low, eyes scanning.

From the smoke, a figure stepped out—wearing a high-tech, black hooded jacket with neon yellow lines like emergency tape, layered over a sleek bodysuit. His mask had dual-lens goggles, a glowing static symbol on the chest, and his mouth visible under the dark hood.

“...Wait… no way—Hakeem?!” Elijah’s voice cracked with surprise.

He had never seen his cousin use a Quirk before—not once.

“Name’s Static” the figure said with a chuckle, fingers crackling with electric energy.

“Didn’t think I’d show up like this, huh, Eli?”

From above, a quiet voice followed:

“Not just her…”

Tamaki Amajiki appeared next to him, cape fluttering.

“...We’re villains too.”

Elijah slowly let go of Momo, standing upright as realization settled in.

“...You know, with your mum bein’ Midnight, I expected ya to show up in leather and perfume, not this techno fire-fighter cosplay.”

Hakeem smirked under the mask. “You wish,cus.”

Meanwhile with Bowsette…

On the east side of the rubble, Bowsette had just finished rounding up civilians—her form striking in her dark, elegant hero outfit: an open black jumpsuit with stockings at the thighs, a sleek skull mask, and deadly high heels clicking against the pavement.

“I swear, if this is another fake villain drill with a guy in a fish mask—”

“Boo!”

Jack-O’ Valentine descended dramatically from a rooftop, swinging a massive iron pumpkin flail, landing with a twirl. She held her mask to her face, then flung it aside.

“Villain Jack-O’ reporting for battle! Now prepare to be beaten into pumpkin paste!”

Bowsette blinked, then tilted her head and snorted.“Really,Jackie? You? Trying to be a villain?”

Jack-O’ pouted, shifting to her childish tone.“B-But I practiced my evil laugh and everything!”

She switched to her mature voice, eyes narrowing.“Fine. Dopros! Summon the minions. Go beat up Koopa-hime and Deku.”

With a pulse of green light, her floating familiar, Dopros, summoned white pumpkin houses that instantly popped out spear-, sword-, and staff-wielding minions.

Izuku skidded into view. “Wait—Jackie’? Why me too!? I didn’t say anything-”

“Shut up!”Jack-o pouts.

Elijah’s voice echoed from across the field.

“Oh this is gonna be a day, innit?”

Bowsette cracked her knuckles, turning to face her bizarre opponent.

“Alright, pumpkin girl—let’s dance.”

Sparks flashed as Elijah flipped over a crumbling pillar, firing twin webs at two charging pumpkin minions. One exploded in a puff of green smoke, the other tangled in a webline and launched backward into a barrier wall.

Static—aka Hakeem—landed beside him with a crackling slide, electricity flickering around his gauntlets. The two circled one another, tension building.

“Oi!” Elijah called mid-combat, webbing a flying spear minion away from Momo. “Can I ask—why the bloody hell are you helpin’ with our training all of a sudden? Thought you didn’t care about this hero drill nonsense.”

Hakeem narrowed his eyes behind his goggles. “...You wanna know why?”

FLASHBACK – Earlier that week…

Nejire Hado clasped her hands in front of her boyfriend, pleading with cartoonishly sparkly eyes.

“Please, Hakeem~! Just help with this one training session! You’d be so cool as a surprise villain!”

He folded his arms and looked away, unimpressed. “Nope. Not my thing. I’m not some cosplay punching bag.”

Hado leaned in closer… and dropped her voice to a whisper.

“If you help, I’ll let you pick the next movie on date night…”

Hakeem raised a brow.

“…and I’ll do that thing you like.”

He blinked. “...Lap pillow?”

Her smile turned sly. “Lap pillow.”

There was a beat of silence.

“...Damn it. I’m in.”

PRESENT…

Back in the chaos of the battlefield, Hakeem ducked under a swipe from Elijah and slid backward with a grin.

“I have needs,” he said simply.

Elijah paused. “Wot the hell’s that supposed to mean?”

With Bowsette…

Jack-O’s minions swarmed in all directions, their pumpkin houses growing more resistant with every second.

But Bowsette wasn’t fazed.

She zipped forward with a glowing dash attack, tearing through the field like a black bullet. Her high heels scraped across the pavement as she spun midair, delivering a twisting roundhouse to three minions at once. They shattered into green-glowing fragments.

“Gotta say,” she called out, landing with style, “your little gremlins are cute, but they die too easy.”

Jack-O huffed and summoned more. “You’re so rude! Dopros—level up the house!”

Nearby – Izuku and Amajiki…

While shielding a downed student, Izuku glanced to his side where Amajiki was quietly edging away behind a tree.

“Wait—Amajiki-senpai! You too?! Why’d you even agree to this drill?”

Amajiki froze, sighing with a downcast look.

“Because if I leave... Hado will get mad at me,” he muttered. “And… also… Mirio.”

That got Izuku’s full attention.

“Mirio asked me,” Amajiki continued softly. “He said, ‘Tamaki, help them. Push them to grow. They’re the next generation. I’m counting on you.’”

Izuku’s eyes lit up with determination.

“I didn’t want to… but he believed in me.”

Cut to – Jack-O’ (Blushing Behind Her Mask)

As she launched another barrage of minions, Jack-O recalled her own conversation.

FLASHBACK – Dorm lounge, Sunset…

“Please,Valentine-san,” Mirio said, his tone gentle but direct. “We need people like you. You’re powerful, creative—and the others will rise to your challenge.”

Jackie pouted, spinning her iron pumpkin flail lazily. “Tch… not interested. Let someone else do it.”

Mirio leaned closer, sincere blue eyes meeting hers.

“I know it’s asking a lot… but will you help me?”

Her heart skipped. Her adult voice faltered. The cool persona crumbled.

“…I… I…”

PRESENT…

Back in the fight, Jack-O, face flushed beneath her mask, looked away.

“I… I couldn’t say no.”

Izuku blinked. “Eh?”

Bowsette smirked from the side. “Let me guess—you’ve got a thing for sunshine-boy?”

“Sh-shut up!!” Jack-O cried, flustered, firing a wave of glowing green blasts in their direction.

With Elijah…

Elijah, hearing the commotion, laughed as he launched another web-line. “Oi, this drill’s turnin’ into a soap opera.”

Static grinned back, electricity building in his palms.

“Don’t pretend you’re not loving it, punk.”

As the battlefield raged with minions and quirks flying in every direction, Elijah narrowed his eyes at Hakeem. Sparks of electricity coiled around his cousin’s fingertips as he darted through debris with practiced footwork.

But Elijah smirked beneath his mask. Time to wrap this up.

In one fluid motion, he activated camouflage mode—his suit flickered with static before vanishing into the background, rendering him nearly invisible.

“Oi, where’d he—?” Hakeem muttered.

Thwip! Thwip!

A pair of web-lines launched from seemingly nowhere, snagging his arms and yanking him upward. Before Hakeem could retaliate, another set of web-lines tangled his legs, pinning him flat against the side of a building like a spider’s prey.

“WHAT THE—?!” he shouted, struggling against the bindings.

Elijah reappeared in a shimmer just above him, crouched casually on the wall. “Sorry, mate. Guess I win this one.”

Across the field…

Bowsette’s body trembled with power as her War God Mode activated.

Her eyes glowed a dangerous crimson, and her hair ignited into strands of fluorescent red, crackling like molten lava. A visible aura of heat shimmered around her form as she let out a low, guttural growl.

“Uh-oh,” Jack-O whispered. “She’s gone full beast mode…”

Without warning, Bowsette withdrew into her spiked shell, the whirling, armored form now glowing with flame patterns. A massive burst of fire breath shot from her maw, propelling her through the sky like a meteor.

Jack-O flinched, crossing her arms to brace for impact—

But Bowsette didn’t strike.

Instead, just inches from collision, she launched out of her shell mid-air, flipping with acrobatic precision. She landed behind Jack-O, grabbing her before she could react and tying her up with a glowing coil of flame-infused ropes.

“H-Hey!! That’s not fair!” Jack-O pouted, her minions bursting into pixels around her.

Other Side of the Arena…

Nejire Hado floated backward, trying to charge another spiral blast—but a combined surprise attack from Momo, Uraraka, and Hagakure overwhelmed her.

Uraraka launched rubble to distract, Momo fired a net-gun from a cannon she constructed in seconds, and Hagakure tackled Hado mid-air to ground her.

Nearby, Bakugo had Amajiki pinned to a tree with an explosion-scorched vine net, glaring with smoke rising from his palms.

SFX: WEEEOOO–WEEEOOO

The lights turned normal again, and the training bots shut down.

A calm, automated voice echoed over the grounds:

"THE DRILL IS OVER. THE DRILL IS OVER. ALL VILLAIN UNITS NEUTRALIZED."

Everyone froze for a moment before slowly lowering their guard. Breathing heavily, some students grinned, while others collapsed from exhaustion.

Jack-O groaned from her tied-up position. “Ughhh… that wasn’t fair at all! She used her berserk mode!”

Bowsette, eyes still faintly glowing, stood over her, chest heaving. The heat around her was slowly dissipating. Elijah jumped down from the wall, helping his cousin Hakeem down with a grin.

“Well,” he said, hands on hips. “Call that a win for Class 1-A.”

Hakeem muttered, “I better get two lap pillows after this…”

students began catching their breath, an angry bark echoed across the field.

“Fight me!!”

Heads turned.

Bakugo, still crackling with leftover adrenaline and aggression, pointed a gloved finger straight at Amajiki, who blinked like a deer caught in headlights.

“Uh… w-why?” Amajiki asked, startled.

“You went easy on me earlier, didn’t you?! Admit it!”

Amajiki rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. “No… I was just… terrified of your face—”

“DON’T YOU UNDERESTIMATE M—!”

ZAP.

The sentence died on Bakugo’s tongue as Elijah, already standing behind him, casually tapped his neck with a venom sting blast from his gauntlet. Bakugo stiffened mid-rage, his body locking up like a frozen statue.

Elijah blinked with mock innocence. “Oops. Guess I slipped.”

Bakugo, paralyzed but glaring daggers, managed to slur out,

“O…ne… of… these… days… Brit…”

“Oh, I’m counting on it,” Elijah smirked.

And with artistic glee, he pulled a marker from his utility belt and added insult to paralysis: a twirly mustache, a goatee, and a bold "E" logo right on Bakugo’s forehead.

Laughter erupted from nearby classmates as they pulled out their phones for photos.

Later – U.A. Dormitory…

Hakeem lay in the grass, Nejire’s lap comfortably under his head, her fingers gently combing through his hair.

She gave him a playful pout. “You were holding back, weren’t you?”

Hakeem didn’t deny it. “I wanted to see what my cousin would do. Besides, you saw how he webbed me up—punk’s getting creative.I honestly thought he’d go for his Venom punch or sting but I feel like he knew that wouldn't work.”

Nejire giggled. “Well, I think you did a good job…”

She leaned down and kissed his cheek, making him blush deeply.

“You’re getting better every time, Static.”

U.A. Dorm Rooftop – Sunset…

While Bakugo rampaged below like a bloodhound on a mission, Elijah and Bowsette laid low, perched on the edge of the roof. The sun was melting into the horizon, splashing golden hues over the sky.

“Think he’s gone yet?” Elijah asked, peeking over the ledge.

Bowsette snorted, crossing her arms. “You knew he’d come after you.”

Elijah leaned back, strumming a few lazy chords on his guitar, his camouflage undone.

“Maybe. But it gave me an excuse to watch the sunset with you.”

Bowsette stiffened, her cheeks glowing as red as her War God hair earlier. She quickly turned her head away.

“Baka. Don’t let Bakugo be the reason you say cool lines like that.”

Elijah chuckled, tuning his guitar as the wind tousled their hair.

“Then I guess I’ll have to find cooler reasons.”

Bowsette rolled her eyes, but a tiny smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she scooted just a little closer.
