Unexpected Bonding Time!

As Eijiro ran frantically passed the front gate of U.A., a man walking by looked over towards him.

"Hey! Are you alright, son? What's got you so spooked?" He asked.

"I-I don't have time! My friend Alyx has gone crazy berserk! There's this weird mask he's wearing and it's like he's feral!"

"Alyx? His last name wouldn't happen to be Leonidus, would it?"

"Uh... Yeah, why?" Kirishima puzzled.

The man took his hat off, "Let me in, boy, that's my Grandson I've been looking for."

Meanwhile, back at the dormitory grounds, Leonidus had easily taken out Shoto and Yaoyorozu using the full power of his Overdrive. Aizawa had tried to stop him, but the sealed mask was preventing Shota from erasing Alyx's Quirk. He stood in front of Momo and Todoroki as Alyx slowly walked over to them.

"Finally decided to put your little seal to good use, Daniela?" A voice spoke.

Alyx stopped and turned around to see his grandfather, Enzo Leonidus, with Kirishima standing right next to him. Enzo handed his trilby hat to Eijiro as he cracked his neck.

"Stand back boy, this might get messy..." Enzo warned Kirishima.

Leonidus darted towards Enzo, he struck at his grandfather's face but Enzo dodged it. Enzo hit Alyx with a debilitating uppercut that cracked the mask and sent him into the air.

"...For him." He continued.

Within almost less than a millisecond, Enzo appeared in front of Alyx, his Overdrive flourished around him as he held back his open fist palm.

"That's. Enough." Enzo thundered.

His full force open palm strike landed on Leonidus' face quicker than he could react, completely shattering the mask as he was sent into the ground. Enzo floated back down onto the ground as steam rose from his left arm.

"It took all of my strength to break that seal, she must've used her strongest one, that's a first." He thought aloud.

"Woah! You're super cool, old man! How'd you move like that?" Kirishima grinned.

"Now's not the time, he's getting up, be on your guard."

He stood on his guard in case the seal was still active. Alyx sat up and rubbed the side of his face.

"Owch... It feels like I got hit by 400 trucks... Huh?" Leonidus finally spoke.

He looked up and saw his grandfather standing next to Kirishima and Aizawa. He tilted his head with sheer confusion at the sight.

"Grandpa? What're you doing here? Wait... Was there a villain!?" Alyx realized.

He looked around to see that nobody else was around besides Momo and Shoto. Alyx saw a mask shard on the ground with the seal still intact on it.

"You had been brainwashed by your grandmother, son. I was in the neighborhood getting supplies for the Dojo I opened up around here when I heard the commotion. I'm glad I came when I did or else your friends here would've been toast." Enzo informed him.

Leonidus quickly darted over towards Momo, "Did I hurt you?! Are you okay!? I'm so so so so so so so so so sorry! Please forgive me!"

Momo smiled at him before hugging him. She brushed off some dirt that was on his face.

"There, I forgive you, it wasn't your fault."

"Are you okay too, Shoto?"

"Yes, I'm alright."

Enzo picked up a mask shard, "What were you doing anyway? How did this happen?"

"Well, I was wanting to try and talk to her to see if we couldn't just call the whole 'I'm going to kill you' thing quits. All I remember is making it into her little headquarters before blacking out."

"I'd admire your attempt, but once she has her mind set, it's near impossible to deter her. Trust me, I was married to her! From everything I've heard, it sounds like you need a break, kiddo."

"Indeed it does!" Mr. Ubuyashiki chimed in.

Alyx turned around and saw him standing there with Bakugo and Kaminari. Ongaku Uzui, Fujin Shinazugawa, Etsuko Iguro, and Akua Tomioka appeared out of the treeline.

"Were you guys just standing there?" Alyx wondered.

"No, we had just arrived right when you attacked your grandfather. We would've stepped in, but it seems as if that old man of yours can handle his own!" Ongaku replied.

Mr. Ubuyashiki studied the seal, "I do believe that a break is necessary. That'll be your next mission, Leonidus, a four day rest break!"

"Four days?! That's a lot though I mean-"

Fujin smacked the back of his head and mumbled something under his breath. Alyx sighed as he had no choice but to accept the "mission". Several hours after cleaning up the dorm grounds, Alyx was in Momo's room staring up at her ceiling.

"What am I gonna do, Momo? I can't do hero stuff or else Mr. Fujin's gonna cut my hands off! I don't want that!" Alyx whined.

"Just do whatever you want besides hero work? So, let's say you were dismissed early from a Work Study and you're the only one at the dorms, what would you do?"

"Wait for you guys to get back home."

"I guess that's one thing you could do, but why don't you ever go out by yourself and explore? Or perhaps partake in some sort of recreational activity that you like personally!"

Leonidus thought about what she said for a moment. Suddenly, an incredible idea came to his mind!

"I can hang out with Mikey!" Alyx exulted.

"The arrogant one you've told me about? You two are friends?"

"Yeah! We've known each other since we were kids! He should still be staying here in Japan, at least, I hope."

Momo sat down in front of him, "You remind me a bit of Midoriya, you know? Both of you have odd friendships with people like Bakugo and Mikey."

[The Next Day...]

Mikey received a knock on his door, he opened up the door to see a bright eyed Alyx standing there.

"How'd you get this address?" Mikey questioned.

"Oh, being I've come into contact with you with my Overdrive, I know where you are at all times!"

"That's... Fucking scary... What do you want? Did something go wrong or are you here to annoy me?"

"I wanna hang out!"

Mikey looked at him blankly, "No."

"Whaaaat?! Why not?"

"I'm only here because Master Star and Stripe wanted me to make sure you're okay. If she never said anything, I couldn't give a damn less, you can handle your problems on your own. I bet you're just disguising this as one of those problems of yours, if so, I'm not having it."

"I'm not! Honest! I was told to go on a four day break by Mr. Ubuyashiki! Everyone at school's at there Work Study besides me. Besides, Momo told me I should explore more so-"

Mikey raised an eyebrow, "Momo? Is this some girlfriend of yours?"

"That's not important! Can we just hang out?!"

"Fine, fine, but it better not be anything stupid! I swear if you rope me into even helping a woman cross the street, I'll kill you!"

The two then made their way into Musutafu, they passed by a main street when they heard music. Leonidus looked over down the street to see some kind of festival going on.

"Look at that! Looks like a festival! Come on, let's go!" Alyx chirped.

"H-Hang on, wait...! Ah, never mind... Damn it."

Mikey caught up to Alyx as he ran over towards the festival site. He quickly lost sight of him through the dense crowd.

"Damn it, where'd he go?" He muttered.

He searched around the various pop up shops for him, but still couldn't find him. Mikey stood there and waited for him to show up.

"Hey! Mikey! Over here!" Leonidus shouted.

Mikey made his way over to where Alyx was. He noticed that he had both of his hands behind his back.

"Ta-da! Look at why I got!" He beamed.

Alyx held up two matching hoodies, one blue and the other a gold color. Mikey looked disgusted at them.

"Y-You got... Matching hoodies?" Mikey cringed.

"Yeah huh! Yours says 'Two Peas' and mine says 'In a Pod'! See? I'll show you!"

He put his hoodie on as Mikey held his, he popped his head through as he put it on, an abnormally positive look was on his face. Mikey looked down at his hoodie with embarrassment, Alyx waited for him to put it on.

"Put it on." Alyx told him.

"N-No! This thing is stupid! 'Two Peas in a Pod'? That's generic as shit!"

"That's what makes it better, so put the damn thing on!"

Mikey rejected the gift, "I said no!"

Alyx took a deep breath in then puffed his cheeks out. Mikey watched as his friend had stopped breathing right before his eyes.

"Stop that. Now. You're gonna hurt yourself."

Alyx didn't respond nor seem to care about his statement. Mikey looked down at the hoodie, accepting his fate.

"Fine! Just knock that shit off, will you?" Mikey growled.

Mikey reluctantly put his new hoodie on, he stood there afterwards with inner rage beyond godly comprehension, Alyx stood next to him with positivity beyond that same comprehension.

"So, where you wanna go now, Mikey?" Leonidus asked.

Mikey didn't say anything, he merely vibrated with malicious intent, trying not to wrap his hands around his friend's throat.

"Mikey?" He repeated.

Soon, the boys moved on to different attractions, they eventually stopped at a small pond at the far end of the festival after Leonidus spotted dozens of geese.

"So, you like this girl or something? What's this Momo girl look like?" Mikey brought up.

"Oh, right! I almost forgot! Let me get a picture of her."

He pulled his phone out to pull up a picture of Yaoyorozu. Alyx turned his phone around to show Mikey the picture. He nodded at it before Leonidus put his phone back in his pocket.

"Uh huh... Is she like some sort of exhibitionist?" Mikey questioned.

Alyx's Rage Quirk flared up, "She is a ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ, not something like that, I suggest you apologize or ๐˜ฅ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ."

"You can't exactly get mad at me when I've never met the girl in my entire life. The fuck am I supposed to do? Not assume?"

"YES?!?!"

Mikey rolled his eyes, "Whatever..."

Alyx looked at the time on his watch, it was a little bit after noon. He sat down at the edge of the pond next to Mikey. The two were quiet for a few minutes until Mikey broke the silence.

"Are you happy with her? I mean, after everything that happened with Laura?"

"I am. But there's no possible way that I could ever forget about her. Speaking of, do you remember the Nomu that Endeavor caught a couple months back?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"That Nomu was Laura," Alyx revealed to him, "I'm not sure how, but they turned her into one of those creatures. The doctors at Tartarus have been trying to figure out a way to turn her back but haven't had much luck, which is why I haven't been able to visit her."

"She's a... Nomu? Shit..."

"Yeah, but I guess that leads me to my next question. When or well... If... Laura does get better, do you think that we could all hang out?"

Mikey didn't answer him, he glanced over and noticed Leonidus' slightly somber expression.

"Yeah, I don't see why not." He answered.

Alyx warmly smiled as he looked across the lake, Mikey got up and looked at his phone.

"Well, I gotta jet outta here, Master Star and Stripe's wanting to talk to me about something." Mikey told him.

"Gotcha. Well, see you around, Mikey!"

Mikey left the pond, Leonidus still sat there with a smile on his face, "๐˜ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ, ๐˜”๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ."

Alyx got up and headed back to the festival, he passed by a strongman game, he noticed that a boy was struggling to win it. He starred at the game before stepping back from it.

"Giving up already kid?" The attendant asked.

The boy looked at his last dollar before giving it to the attendant. Before he picked the hammer up, Leonidus grabbed it, the kid was confused.

"Here, let me help you." Alyx offered.

Alyx rose the hammer high into the air, he slammed it down onto the machine's lever, the hammer went right through the machine! The game attendant looked stunned, Leonidus looked at the now destroyed hammer and game.

"Oops! Looks like I went a bit overboard there!" Alyx chuckled.

Leonidus used his Overdrive to repair the strongman machine, the attendant still held a look of disbelief on his face as he awarded the boy a prize.

"Thank you, mister!" The boy smiled at Alyx.

Alyx nodded at the boy before he ran off. Leonidus left the festival site, wondering the streets of Japan to what felt like no end.

"Hey! Leonidus!" Mirio shouted to him.

Alyx turned around to see Mirio and Izuku patrolling the streets. He waved at them as they approached him.

"Whatcha doing out here? Shouldn't you be doing your Work Study?" Mirio wondered.

"Funny you mention that, I was actually tasked to be on a four day break since like, I apparently don't know how to take a break." Alyx replied.

"They aren't wrong though." Izuku remarked.

"Not you too... Does everyone think that?"

Alyx felt someone bump into his leg, he looked down and noticed a scared, white haired little girl.

"Oh, are you alright?" He asked.

He knelt down to heal her just in case she hurt herself. Izuku noticed that the girl was clinging onto him for dear life.

"Eri, why'd you run off like that? You had me scared sick." A man called out.

The boys looked up to see a man with a plague doctor mask standing before them. He held out his arms and waited for Leonidus to return Eri to him.

"Come on, let go of that boy, we need to go back home." He continued.

"That mask of yours... You're with the Hassaikai right?" Mirio observed.

The man nodded at him, "Quite knowledgeable, you'd be correct. This mask protects me from all this filth and disease, I'm quite sensitive to it. I'd like to know something as well, what agency are you two from?"

"Oh, we're just doing internships!" Mirio lied.

"I see... Now if you excuse me-" He replied.

Izuku glared at him, "What have you done to this girl?"

Everyone remained silent as they stared at Izuku. Mirio could tell that the tension was quickly building up. Before anyone could say a word, Eri slipped out of Alyx's arms and ran over to the man.

"If you'd like to know, then you can follow me." The man snapped.

As the man turned to head into the alleyway, Alyx followed him.

"Hey, wait!" Alyx yelled.

The man turned around with an eyebrow raised. Leonidus activated his Overdrive in his left hand before flicking something off of his jacket.

"You had something on your jacket! Don't worry, this hand is completely sterilized whenever I have my Quirk active." Alyx smiled.

"Oh, thanks." The man responded.

He turned around and headed further into the alleyway. The man looked behind him, he froze up as Alyx had been looking back at him, clearly seeing murderous intent within his eyes. Leonidus then faced forward before nonchalantly walking out of the alleyway.

"Come on, let's go." Leonidus deadpanned.

Alyx walked passed Mirio and Izuku, Mirio caught up to him, he saw the look on Alyx's face.

"You handled that well, I'm glad you didn't lose your cool there." Mirio complimented.

"He's torturing that girl, she was whispering things in my ear, telling me not to let go of her. If I was alone back there, I would've had him killed."

Izuku caught up and Alyx looked behind him, "Izuku... If that's one of the people you two are looking for, do me a favor, put him six feet under."

"A-Alyx... I-I don't know if I can do that morally." Izuku sputtered.

"Morally? Locking him up in Tartarus is only going to do him a favor, spending an eternity in Hell is where someone like him belongs. I'm not upset at your thinking, I fully understand your morals and values, Deku. But if I were in your place, I would've killed him right then and there." Alyx replied.

[Later That Night...]

Alyx was fast asleep, his door suddenly flew open, Momo rushed inside and shook him awake.

"H-Huh?! What's wrong?" Alyx fretted.

"I need your opinion on something! It's extremely urgent!"

Alyx wiped his eyes as Momo pulled her phone out, "How do you feel about... Bed attire?"

"Bed attire...? What? Like what I'm wearing now?"

Momo turned her phone around to reveal a panda bear onesie to him. Alyx turned his head over to his alarm clock, he noticed that it was 2:40 AM.

"Momz... It... It's almost 3 in the morning. Why?"

"Well, the truth is I wanted to cuddle with you ๐’ƒ๐’–๐’• I also needed a second opinion on a potential purchase. I have one of two things accomplished now!"

"It's cute, can I go back to bed now? Please?"

Before Momo could say a word, Alyx wrapped his arms around her and fell back into his bed. He looked over and booped her nose.

"You know, I think you look even cuter with your hair down." Alyx flattered.

"Oh, stop it!" Momo blushed.

Leonidus smiled at her before finally relaxing in his bed. Momo slowly sat up as Alyx's veins began to glow like his Overdrive aura.

"A-Alyx...!" She gasped.

Leonidus looked at his hands as the glow crept up to his head. He suddenly seized up as his mind was flooded with visions of the future. He saw All-Maker with the lifeless body of Daniela, holding her up into the sky before erasing her. Lady Chiyoko then appeared in an unfamiliar place, using her Infinite Mode technique.

"๐‘จ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’•๐’”๐’–... ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’—๐’† ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’” ๐’ƒ๐’๐’š, ๐’•๐’‚๐’Œ๐’† ๐’‰๐’Š๐’Ž ๐’”๐’๐’Ž๐’†๐’‘๐’๐’‚๐’„๐’† ๐’†๐’๐’”๐’†!" Chiyoko shouted.

Alyx forced himself awake from the "dream", he quickly looked over to see that Momo was gone, it was almost noon! He tried to wrap his head around what just occurred, Leonidus chalked it up to just a strange dream before getting out of bed. He walked downstairs into the common room, Alyx turned the TV on, quickly switching to the news to see if he could spot any of his classmates conducting their Work Study. Instead, there was a live report of a huge explosion taking place on Paradise Island, the location of Daniela Leonidus and the members of her team.

"What the...?" Alyx muttered.

"Leonidus, we no longer have time! My Father..." Amatsu suddenly spoke.

Leonidus slowly looked back at the TV, "...He's here!"
