It’s the day after Izuku began the process of gaining another Apostle, much to the delight of his inner legions. But he can’t help but feel worried. He visited, of course, when he had the time, and it seems to be progressing well. Despite Kiri’s worries, a little tossing and turning from Pixie-Bob is nothing compared to the alternative.

So it wasn’t that which hammers his skull right now. No, not even the funerals and media cover-up. The deaths couldn’t be hidden for long, and so the public was told the truth of it, partly anyway.
33Please respect copyright.PENANARxK9eEYBPo
Izuku made sure to respect the losses properly. Using his quirk, he shaped the ice tower created in his fight with All For One into a memorial statue of the resting heroes. A new monument and landmark for the city, so Aizawa, Best Jeanist, and Vlad King won’t be forgotten.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAPmhCB6lulI
All of that got the media off his family’s back and allowed Izuku to focus on what he is currently doing.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAoWSDnST9zL
Izuku: ‘Momo…’
33Please respect copyright.PENANAlSmbeDeexW
Didn’t take him long to learn about the situation when he tried to visit Momo on the second day. Her parents apparently don’t want her in U.A and don’t approve of her relationships.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAEGwwfOxBj9
That didn’t stop the boy from going to the gate every day to plead his case.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAqZMgmWdVmj
Cecelyne: “A wasted effort.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAROZWSXrm3R
Izuku: “Better that than breaking in. It’s why I didn’t tell Kiri. She has enough to deal with anyway.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAboj494SaZe
Which brings us to now, outside the gated mansion once again. The boy presses the speaker button, ready to hear the grating voice of Momo’s mother.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAyGSeEcIJNU
“Let me guess, the cripple returns?”
33Please respect copyright.PENANARrwhc8JZkW
Izuku: “And I will continue to until you see reason.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAM7FzqJxXWq
“You’re lucky I don’t call the police to remove you from the grounds.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ5IQWE7rZ
Izuku: “I just want to see Momo.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANANRRzQ2IuMm
“And take her back to that school, I know. Why come here? I won’t change my mind.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANABpwF5yhWS9
Izuku: “And I won’t give up. I know Momo still wants to be a hero and I won’t-”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAUMyKENPnWw
“Unless you are prepared to break the law and kidnap her, you have no say in the matter. But by all means, keep coming back, you offer good entertainment.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAdfdYP3nJGG
The legion within bubbles with impatience as the woman continues to disrespect the prince. But Izuku holds the building negative emotions back as he closes his eyes.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAszFQcRH4gm
Izuku: “Please… just let me see her.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAuRFyugEW0B
“… I appreciate what you have done for this city. But I won’t allow it. As long as my daughter is with you or at U.A, she will be in extreme danger. Surely, you can agree with me on that.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAsApubC3PfC
Izuku: “I can protect her.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAGeyZCIrY8x
“It only takes one mistake to lose everything.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANA00p5tQLurP
And with that, the intercom cuts, and once again, Izuku is left alone, having achieved nothing.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAfzSivqeTTu
Slaanesh: “This is getting ridiculous. Just take your woman and be done with it.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANABUdGHkiaHZ
Cecelyne: “Or send one of the legion to retrieve her. There are some within that would be suitable.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAyt5dM4ucnk
Izuku: “That would be against the law.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAMLtUz9uSer
Cecelyne: “There is NO law aside from my own, and yours, my prince.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAsKMCKpT1x9
The boy stills at the tone Cecelyne spoke in, feeling the weight of her words sink in. His mind returns to the battle with All For One, and the moment where Cecelyne tried to make a deal with him.
33Please respect copyright.PENANA6PqbAFqpT6
One that didn’t sit right with him.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAcwmWyAP2mH
Izuku: ‘I can’t forget what these things are.’
33Please respect copyright.PENANAs90usrKpqm
Not letting his guard down or his morals slip, the boy gives his answer.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAXBTlRG3PiX
Izuku: “My law, is to obey the laws of his country. That’s how I become a Hero.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAKUHbDMGfmX
For a few moments, the legion was quiet. But it wasn’t a peaceful one. It hung in the air like a noose around his neck.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAZpfjTGqs12
Cecelyne: “Then prepare to lose what you hold dear.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAITuq0XFXLt
And with that, they went fully silent. At an impasse, Izuku decides to simply go home. There’s nothing more he can do right now.That didn’t stop his mind from running away from him.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAM3qqN27uAZ
He tried to think of ways to convince his girlfriend’s mother. Ways to see Momo and maybe form a united front. But all plans fall under impossibilities or law-breaking.
33Please respect copyright.PENANArVTBmSrITj
If it were Kiri, he could talk to her telepathically even at this distance. But the psychic connection simply wasn’t as strong. Calling was out since it would always go to voicemail.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAXeYw041TT6
The boy was running out of time. School will resume, and if Momo doesn’t get permission…
33Please respect copyright.PENANAOCL8Odt55i
Izuku: ‘Should I… let her go?’
33Please respect copyright.PENANAGX18CjPRvC
The idea nearly made him hurl in revulsion. The answer was obvious.
33Please respect copyright.PENANACmFKgjoqvh
Izuku: ‘Never.’
33Please respect copyright.PENANAaZJxmDbDP9
Then what is the solution to this problem? Before he can think more about it, a voice calls out to him on his way home.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAJXzVRJrZ2y
“Finally, found you!”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAng3datriUf
Dropping from the sky was a surprise to be sure. Brown skin, rocking body, and bunny ears. Standing over the boy was-
33Please respect copyright.PENANABo97LlwWPi
Izuku: “Miruko, the No. 7th hero!!?”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAszDI6L5L4n
For a moment, fanboy Izuku returned as he looked up at one of the most popular heroes in the country.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAlIjE2UNJQV
Miruko: “And you’re the kid that fought All For One with All Might.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAlI372lv9qi
And so his smile slowly fades.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAf7C7QqXtjN
Izuku: “Y-Yes, is there something wrong?”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAMC6XOxKTJj
Miruko: “Hey, I’m not some news hound. I’m not here to ask questions, berate you, or any of that nonsense.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAcyCZfuZ1Kv
Izuku: “O-Oh!? Y-Yeah, that doesn’t sound like something you would do. But then why-”
33Please respect copyright.PENANATqNpWDjJ3q
Considering her personality, the answer quickly came to him.
33Please respect copyright.PENANA2aRrw71MXh
Izuku: “No way…”
33Please respect copyright.PENANA412i49AWo5
Miruko: “I couldn’t help myself. A student who could fight alongside Tornado and All Might? I had to see for myself!”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAo9mNtaebf0
Izuku: “So a spar?”
33Please respect copyright.PENANACUpvnsq9DK
Miruko: “Yeah! Fight me, Aeon the Firestorm!”
33Please respect copyright.PENANApkBzpHEOhW
Before Izuku could shake with happiness due to his hero name being used, his inner world had to complicate things.
33Please respect copyright.PENANATE3KNtqZYN
Khorne: “I like her. This human seems like a true warrior.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANALpn5oGzxEa
Slaanesh: “I’m more interested in her body, verrry nice. Come on Prince, rethink the harem plan.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAoFPnFVdFMp
Izuku: “No. I-”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ2H9XPxCt
The Second: “&$(B!)^$*%.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAy3edr7Qrww
Izuku: “… Of course, you want her too… ”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAqK6rHpQtZY
Cecelyne: “You did want a replacement for your sister. Be grateful.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANA5MZ8QGvRdi
Izuku: “I… guess.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAVNZFF9yIbb
While he was lost in his mind, Miruko simply thought he was stunned by the offer. Snapping her fingers in his face, she brought Izuku back to the waking world.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAWlJ8dPOTOD
Miruko: “Hey! What’s your answer!?”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAipfYdupEjx
Izuku: “O-Oh! I-I don’t know. Without my other arm-”
33Please respect copyright.PENANApfjvRJTzT5
Miruko: “Like that would stop a hero! Which is the other reason why I want to fight you. Villains won’t wait for you to find a good prosthetic. It’s better to get used to your state now than waiting till school starts.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAPTPEXKnU9m
Despite her not knowing that he’ll regrow his missing limbs in time, Izuku finds himself agreeing. But he wasn’t the only one.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAgoj8VaO6IN
The Third: “%*#)!*#.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAh9r7GeJIuT
There seems to be a breakthrough on the horizon of this exercise. One encouraged by more than just The Body. Sighing, Izuku nods.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAnfXk178aZw
Izuku: “I needed a distraction anyway.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAsPKUti6Akg
Miruko: “Great! Follow me, I have a great place for us to fight.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAWHQmnFKQMq
The boy floats after the rabbit hero while trying to focus on the upcoming fight. Instead of the turmoils caused by Momo’s mother.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAtiSJqGtMU6
33Please respect copyright.PENANABzpxGYOCdo
The princess misses her lovers and the warmth they provided. It’s been days since she has seen them, days of confinement to her room and bed. She wasn’t even allowed to go to the funeral, only watch the news of it. All for her safety, her mother said. As always, her father took her side.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAiinrckOgbj
It wouldn’t be so bad if she were simply moving to another school. Sure, she won’t be able to see Izuku or Kiri for a long time. But when she graduates as a hero, she can see them again. Maybe she could even continue to help them while working as a sidekick.
33Please respect copyright.PENANATqOAnlTjMS
Anything would be better than what is actually planned.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAkNmjhu0aSU
Momo: “Why, Mother?”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAypgjts1nrU
She whispers as she remembers the conversation that got her so heated that she revealed her relationship status, and how much it means to her.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAz3Z74sDDfN
It fell on deaf ears. Her mother still plans to send her abroad and take her out of the hero course. Back to the original plan, for her to take over the family business and find a “proper” husband.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAEVHQq8PLm3
Momo: “She couldn’t have told Kiri or Izuku everything. They would have broken down the doors if she did.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAK0vGcGvPjJ
The thought causes her to softly smile as she falls back onto the bed. The same bed she has been intimate with them in. Once again, Momo is surprised by the path life has taken her. But despite the strangeness of it, she loves them both and doesn’t want to leave. Especially since they will be facing more threats in the future.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAkVV4b5G0DC
She has to be there, by their side.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAmgECHjuwn8
Momo: “But what can I do?”
33Please respect copyright.PENANANn2NxXkDRb
Balling her fists, the girl glares at the extravagant ceiling that didn’t always feel like a prison. Raising her fist, Momo flexes OFA, causing red lightning to pulse under the skin.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAZxa8jUzPDt
Momo: “I have a duty to All Might as well. I can’t give up.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANA9vH3uzxlz7
But confronting her mother the normal way is out of the question. Running away wouldn’t allow her to go back to U.A. But is going to school necessary?
33Please respect copyright.PENANATb5ljDsq03
Momo: “A vigilante… ”
33Please respect copyright.PENANArvxgN20MkH
Before the funeral, the news was nearly constantly talking about Kiri and Valkyrie. If they let her past actions go, wouldn’t that suggest that vigilantism is fine? Some said that she encouraged vigilantism with her actions, and letting her go would do the same. Others say that letting her continue to earn her hero license would do the opposite.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAk2PIPMof5c
This is not even getting into theories on Kiri’s true nature and why Heroes or U.A staff didn’t turn her in.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAJeHCi7nZfc
Either way, the situation has called the current system into question. Something Momo is sure doesn’t please the higher-ups. She doesn’t want to make the situation worse, especially since some in the media have already guessed her relationship with Kiri and Izuku.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAprFZzBYoEF
Momo: “But what choice do I have? If Mom doesn’t let me go… ”
33Please respect copyright.PENANA4wgvyZCz2M
She will have to take drastic actions.
