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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S4npNtQ7J
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBQyOXYUu1
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnotXgNfHfF
All of that got the media off his family’s back and allowed Izuku to focus on what he is currently doing.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7AgKcqneA
Izuku: ‘Momo…’
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmswyT6xlw
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUW4JrupG6
That didn’t stop the boy from going to the gate every day to plead his case.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqjIuouKOD
Cecelyne: “A wasted effort.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HYFOiEYYV
Izuku: “Better that than breaking in. It’s why I didn’t tell Kiri. She has enough to deal with anyway.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhlZHAxekq
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y688WgdYB
“Let me guess, the cripple returns?”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW24mF0dN4
Izuku: “And I will continue to until you see reason.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvokdEwJFh
“You’re lucky I don’t call the police to remove you from the grounds.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4eC9axpGD
Izuku: “I just want to see Momo.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDvIPeHWq5
“And take her back to that school, I know. Why come here? I won’t change my mind.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1AEQ8a45K
Izuku: “And I won’t give up. I know Momo still wants to be a hero and I won’t-”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx2IwYULxS
“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.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy984HrDiS
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S4gVUMJl1
Izuku: “Please… just let me see her.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXDImInoF5
“… 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.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAR0OPipOJ
Izuku: “I can protect her.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUOHpdI50U
“It only takes one mistake to lose everything.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0w5XZj2Pi
And with that, the intercom cuts, and once again, Izuku is left alone, having achieved nothing.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBFfgKOnI1
Slaanesh: “This is getting ridiculous. Just take your woman and be done with it.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHdEoEMDTz
Cecelyne: “Or send one of the legion to retrieve her. There are some within that would be suitable.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKWwkjR85g
Izuku: “That would be against the law.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL6bWWP8vp
Cecelyne: “There is NO law aside from my own, and yours, my prince.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzaJgnd3x7
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGgQeIbrRR
One that didn’t sit right with him.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0efMaoenzp
Izuku: ‘I can’t forget what these things are.’
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ4FH7KnIh
Not letting his guard down or his morals slip, the boy gives his answer.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpUfmj3Mi4
Izuku: “My law, is to obey the laws of his country. That’s how I become a Hero.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXLrJFOfiJ
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgKA6ew5lA
Cecelyne: “Then prepare to lose what you hold dear.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis9QOULbBF
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaGSU8OTO1
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX1dx6EUQX
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXTWJ6Eikq
The boy was running out of time. School will resume, and if Momo doesn’t get permission…
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6euAYv7xh
Izuku: ‘Should I… let her go?’
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU0onxlPlh
The idea nearly made him hurl in revulsion. The answer was obvious.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcUjT9i4C7
Izuku: ‘Never.’
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2mu4UYpcy
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB46BCkv37k
“Finally, found you!”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xW0ygavJd
Dropping from the sky was a surprise to be sure. Brown skin, rocking body, and bunny ears. Standing over the boy was-
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjAItIZRPT
Izuku: “Miruko, the No. 7th hero!!?”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW02589MZO
For a moment, fanboy Izuku returned as he looked up at one of the most popular heroes in the country.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOXjaKiPxi
Miruko: “And you’re the kid that fought All For One with All Might.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZonU7ZDXPB
And so his smile slowly fades.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aScj0mEpe
Izuku: “Y-Yes, is there something wrong?”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrjlm07UYV
Miruko: “Hey, I’m not some news hound. I’m not here to ask questions, berate you, or any of that nonsense.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4IUexwYZQ
Izuku: “O-Oh!? Y-Yeah, that doesn’t sound like something you would do. But then why-”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuv62h4eRL
Considering her personality, the answer quickly came to him.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1VSeT5V52
Izuku: “No way…”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOHnVu0tD0
Miruko: “I couldn’t help myself. A student who could fight alongside Tornado and All Might? I had to see for myself!”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatOStF7nIz
Izuku: “So a spar?”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtEPXnD6Qz
Miruko: “Yeah! Fight me, Aeon the Firestorm!”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54N6Or0zBt
Before Izuku could shake with happiness due to his hero name being used, his inner world had to complicate things.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwlV281Vov
Khorne: “I like her. This human seems like a true warrior.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolBDqUq4Um
Slaanesh: “I’m more interested in her body, verrry nice. Come on Prince, rethink the harem plan.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehhBRJ88Da
Izuku: “No. I-”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk3h3w9go3
The Second: “&$(B!)^$*%.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GxRBwUUAe
Izuku: “… Of course, you want her too… ”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqXySLUIbz
Cecelyne: “You did want a replacement for your sister. Be grateful.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gNrnKjrD5
Izuku: “I… guess.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcq7ZhXfJZ
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKgARyT8KV
Miruko: “Hey! What’s your answer!?”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLov1onuMq
Izuku: “O-Oh! I-I don’t know. Without my other arm-”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FVyUaQRJd
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.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHjvzWY6bd
Despite her not knowing that he’ll regrow his missing limbs in time, Izuku finds himself agreeing. But he wasn’t the only one.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASB9opsRsl
The Third: “%*#)!*#.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuaW1ZVQyS
There seems to be a breakthrough on the horizon of this exercise. One encouraged by more than just The Body. Sighing, Izuku nods.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZLY8qwQz7
Izuku: “I needed a distraction anyway.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnovaJA4A7l
Miruko: “Great! Follow me, I have a great place for us to fight.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcXSiA9R6i
The boy floats after the rabbit hero while trying to focus on the upcoming fight. Instead of the turmoils caused by Momo’s mother.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcXLEftU3D
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKLHosXHLx
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQooVosyks
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEnt9dA7Kv
Anything would be better than what is actually planned.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9QmljQKpl
Momo: “Why, Mother?”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT8YkDUyl9
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbVJV8fM3W
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYOhcp3XAw
Momo: “She couldn’t have told Kiri or Izuku everything. They would have broken down the doors if she did.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0q3RmEEoZ
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa0nqiaItB
She has to be there, by their side.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fm1Py0tkI
Momo: “But what can I do?”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Reu3Cs2w3
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYywkyb1QVI
Momo: “I have a duty to All Might as well. I can’t give up.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPYdAkTnps
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?
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5FbLU2egJ
Momo: “A vigilante… ”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIUGs3Xs7f
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHaOQOPwK7
This is not even getting into theories on Kiri’s true nature and why Heroes or U.A staff didn’t turn her in.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZavwLgG5u4
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.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAtx2l8zhZ
Momo: “But what choice do I have? If Mom doesn’t let me go… ”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK1Du7d8GZ
She will have to take drastic actions.
