Back alley deals.

Man that felt good!

Why the fuck didn't I just do it earlier. Like fuck.

I looked at Himiko, who was cuddling with me, as Deku came in.

Did I forget to lock the door? I thought.

Yep. I forgot to lock the door. I remembered.

And now Deku was staring, blank eyed at us.

Eh whatever.

I patted the bed beside me.

"Wanna join in?" I teased.

Deku blushed all colors of the fucking rainbow.

Hold on. How in the fuck is that even possible?

First the power of love doesn't work but then Deku can blush in a literal fucking rainbow? And is that steam coming from his ears? What in the actual tittyfuck?

Damnit world! Keep some consistency!

"N-no. I-i-i..." he stuttered.

"Well then, mind closing the door?" I said.

He nodded and closed the door behind him. With him still in the room.

Ugh. This idiot! I facepalmed.

"No. Deku. Close the door after you get out!" I expalined.

He nodded like a jackhammer, before fumbling the door open and leaving.

Himiko giggled away like a hyena.

"Alright." I said, holding back a chuckle, "He probably came to call us for lunch. Let's get dressed and go. Cold food doesn't take quite as good, I reckon."

When we got out, Deku was nowhere in sight.

We found him sitting in the bar, with his face in his hands, shaking and muttering 'Awawawawa!'

I walked up to him and slapped him on the back.

"Yeowch!" He cried.

"Dont be embarrassed. It's not your fault. Besides, you've already seen me naked. What's to be embarrassed about?" I said.

"B-b-ut..."

"No buts. Chill the fuck down. You'll get used to it. In time. I think. Let's eat first." I said, taking a seat.

After finishing the meal, I sat there having a drink of juice, as Kurogiri commented.

"So how was it?"

"Deku told you huh?" I said, looking at Deku with a squint.

Deku shrunk into his shirt like a turtle.

"Hahaha. Of course he did." Kurogiri answered.

"Well, it was fine." I said.

"Just fine?" He asked.

"Yup. Was it supposed to be something more?"

"Well most people tend to exaggerate it. And with me being, well.." He pointed at his body.

"Yeah. I get that. Must suck though. How do you even piss?"

"Portals." He said.

"Should've figured." I said.

As we finished the juice, and paid the bill, Kurogiri stopped us.

"Say, would you be interested in making some extra cash?" He asked.

"I'm listening." Deku said, sitting back down.

"Why not?" I said.

"Sure." Himiko added.

"Great." Kurogiri said, "Actually, the owner was looking for some people to do a ...job."

"What sort of job?" Deku asked innocently.

"What would you say about paying an unexpected visit to some unpleasant customers?" He asked.

"Does this visit involve breaking and entering perchance?" I interjected. I had the feeling I knew what this was for.

"Maybe? Maybe not? You in?" He replied.

"I don't think so." I answered.

"Same here!" Deku replied.

"What about you?" Kurogiri asked Himiko.

"I don't know." Himiko answered, "It hasn't been four months since I was acquitted. Can't be getting caught again this early."

"Oh no. You don't need to worry about that. We'll teleport in and teleport out. You'll just need to kill time. It's gong to be easy as can be." Kurogiri assured.

This wasn't some small job. This was the attack on USJ. Now I was almost sure of it. If it weren't for me hiding my power, I'd have confirmed it using Laplace Junior.

I immediately used telepathy to tell Himiko to agree.

She eeped when my voice sounded out in her head.

"You can use telepathy?" She asked.

"Only when I'm touching people and looking at them." I lied.

"That's neat. So why do you want me to agree? Didn't you just get me out of this?" She asked.

"Just trust me. I won't let you get caught. I have a feeling this is bigger than a simple robbery. I want you to be my inside guy, or gal in this case. I'll get you a pardon if you get caught. Just don't kill anyone." I replied.

"Okay!" She agreed.

"So?" Kurogiri repeated.

"What's the payout like?" She asked.

"Pretty good. 100k. Half now, half later." he replied.

"Sure." Himiko said, "But you get me out in time, okay?"

"Of course." Kurogiri said.

"And you wear a mask." I said.

"And that." Himiko parroted.

"Wait, are you sure Himiko? You don't have to do this." Deku asked concerned.

"Don't worry, its probably just intimidating some debtors. Like loan sharks or something, right?" I said, giving Kurogiri a look.

He nodded.

"Yeah. It's just some debtors up in Tokyo. Nothing too difficult. A little bit of intimidation and rough housing. No need to worry, Deku-san." He assured.

Deku considered it for a moment, before looking at Himiko.

"Just take care. Don't waste our efforts in saving you, alright?" He said softly.

I ruffled his hair playfully.

"You worry too much Deku. Nothings gonna happen."

"If you say so Haru-chan." he replied.
