Steps Towards Confession? Rumble on, Bakugo & Leonidus!!

In a bar room, Tomura Shigaraki watched the closing ceremony of the Sports Festival, he paused the broadcast on Leonidus' face.

"That boy there... Alyx Leonidus... That was the kid staring at me after I destroyed their little barrier at U.A. His Quirk, I wonder what it is exactly? I think it's time we start making some moves, don't you think, Kurogiri?" Tomura pondered.

"Tomura, don't you think we should acquire more assistance before we do that?" Kurogiri replied.

"Hmm... Maybe you're right, perhaps that'd be a smart idea, they can help us kill All Might! We just need to somehow send a message." Tomura agreed.

Kurogiri set a glass down, "Sir, if I may, what is your obsession with All Might? What would you gain from killing him?"

"What would I gain? Heh... Control over every single person in this city, just like Father wants. What interests me the most is how similar that Midoriya kid's Quirk is to All Might's, it's just... Too similar..." Shigaraki replied.

As Tomura pondered on what to do next, back at U.A., Shota dismissed the students for the next two days for the students to recuperate from the Sports Festival. Momo walked with Leonidus to his house afterwards.

"That was an incredible showing, I'm certain you've drawn the attention of thousands of Pros!" Momo complimented.

"Maybe? If I did, that'd be super cool! But I've gotta feeling that there's gonna be a lot of papers for me to look through." Leonidus responded.

Momo put her hands behind her back as she walked, "Yeah... So, do you think that I'll get a good amount of nominations?"

"I know so! I made sure that you did a number on me during our fight in the tournament." Alyx grinned.

"Y-You did? Why?" Momo asked.

"I couldn't help but hold back so you could shine, you were a recommended student, right? You being able to hold out against me while I didn't use too much of my strength, that's pretty impressive, I was trying against you in terms of combat. I can't wait to help you out with your fighting skills! With my Total Concentration Breathing, I'm pretty formidable as is!" Leonidus told her.

Momo looked to the side and blushed, "T-Thank you, Alyx."

The two finally made their way to Alyx's house, he opened the door and Liz came flying around the corner.

"Hiya, pretty lady! You fought Aly didn't you? I'm Liz! Can I hug you?" She greeted.

"Oh. My. Goodness! She's adorable!" Momo chirped.

Momo knelt down and gave Liz a hug, unbeknownst to her, Liz has an iron grip. She stood up and Liz came right with her.

"Yeah, I forgot to mention she really likes hugs!" Alyx chuckled.

"I can tell! She really looks like your Mother!" Momo giggled.

Momo and Alyx went into the living room to go upstairs to his room, "Does Mama and Papa know that you have a friend over?"

"Uh huh, I told them before the Sports Festival ended. Speaking of them... Could you go tell them that I'm home please?" Alyx informed her.

Liz nodded and slid of Yaoyorozu, she quickly scurried downstairs, Leonidus and Yaoyorozu on the other hand entered Alyx's room. He set his bag down next to his desk before taking off his School Uniform Blazer.

"Well, here we are! Give me one second here..." Alyx conversed.

Leonidus took a deep breath, Amatsu Mikaboshi then phased out of him, which caused Momo to yell out of fear.

Momo hid behind Alyx, "W-What is that?! Is that a malicious entity?!"

"Woah, take it easy! He might look scary, but he's just the friendliest thing on the planet, right? Mikaboshi?" Leonidus attested.

"Alyx, I was ordered to possess and take control of you by your Grandmother, you are calling me an ally despite that?" Amatsu reminded him.

"HE WHAT?!?!" Momo screeched.

"T-Take it easy," Alyx pleaded, "Allow me to explain, you already know about my Grandmother, or at least somewhat know. Her Quirk is called 'Witchcraft' and she's extremely proficient with it. I'd argue she's one of the most dangerous people on Earth, but anyway, she used her Quirk to summon good ole' Amatsu here to possess me. As you can see, it didn't work out so well for her, being that he's not using my body to kill people."

"Indeed, he has shown me a different path. Upon entering his consciousness, I was enveloped with the sensation of calming winds, pure blue skies, and some sort of humming noise that was one of pure serenity. Of all my years of living, I have never been in a realm like that before." Amatsu finished.

Momo set her bag to the side, "Oh... That's good to know. I apologize if I offended you, Mr. Mikaboshi."

"Hmph... The God of Evil and the Stars cannot be offended little one." Mikaboshi replied.

Amatsu phased through Alyx's bedroom wall, Momo watched it happen then quickly looked back over at Leonidus.

"You just let him do that?" Momo asked.

"Yeah, he's basically family now, so he just leaves my body when I'm home." Alyx confirmed.

Yaoyorozu looked around Alyx's room, she noticed the various posters of different American Rock Bands, Anime, and she found a large shelf next to a computer desk.

"That's a lot of Manga, Alyx." Momo observed.

"Is it? I kinda thought it wasn't too much, I've been thinking about expanding it, for quite some time now. Two or three shelves should be more than enough maybe? What do you think? I've been thinking three but that might be a little excessive..." Leonidus rattled on.

Momo watched as he constructed an example shelf with his Overdrive as he continued to talk. The shelves suddenly poofed out of existence as he heard Momo giggle at him.

"Your ramblings are rather adorable, you know that?" She smiled.

Leonidus' cheeks turned red, "O-Oh, I-I didn't... I didn't know that!"

The two settled in after Alyx's Manga ramblings, Yaoyorozu saw the picture of Laura on Alyx's nightstand, she walked over and looked at it.

"Hey, is this...?" Momo wondered.

Alyx walked over and grabbed the picture. He dusted it off as he slightly smiled at it.

"Yeah, you'd be right, that's me and Laura. Back when times were a lot simpler, when I didn't have to worry about being tracked down by my Grandmother and her group of villains. She's in my heart, although I do wish I had some way of preventing her death, the only thing I can do is move on." Leonidus told her.

"Alyx, what you said about Villains, did you really mean all that?" Momo spoke up.

"What brought that up?" Alyx questioned.

"Your Grandmother, she's a Villain, is she not? What do you think about her?" Momo responded.

(I.R.P.: Listen to "Tanjiro Meets The Boy (Rui's Motif)" From Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train)

Alyx sat down on his bed next to her, "She's evil, there's no question in my mind that she's incapable of doing good. As for other Villains, I treat them as my equal, as a basic human being. Villains have families and various reasons they do what they do, maybe they're forced into it because of their living situations, all it takes is one person to understand their perspective without treating them like dirt. If there's even an ounce of positivity in them, I want to help them, no matter the cost. That's what being a Hero has always meant to me, saving others no matter who or what they are, if they can be saved I want to help out as best as I possibly can."

Alyx smiled at Momo, a wave of warmth washed over her, she realized what Mikaboshi spoke of was true. Every intention he had was pure, his eyes held an honest look in them as she gazed into them.

"Your kindness is truly extraordinary, Alyx. You would be a blessing to have in anyone's life. So... What do you do for fun here?" Momo smiled back.

"Oh! I was just about to ask you what you wanted to do, hmm... Hang on a sec!" Alyx responded.

[Several Hours Later...]

"I didn't think that reading encyclopedias would be an activity I'd be doing, but here we are." Alyx told her.

Alyx was sitting on his floor next to Momo reading an encyclopedia she created. Leonidus' eyes grew heavy, causing him to start to doze off, he looked over at the clock and saw that it was 9:30 PM.

"Geez, it's late... Hey, if you want, I have a bathroom you can use to change. It's that door right next to my desk." Alyx pointed.

Yaoyorozu nodded and went into the bathroom to change into her bed clothes. Alyx got up and put the encyclopedia on his desk. Alyx put on sweatpants before taking his shirt off to examine the Rage Arm wounds on his back. He carefully unwound the gauze and bandages around his body. He faced his mirror then turned around to look at his back.

"Damn, you really did a number on yourself, didn't you?" He muttered.

Yaoyorozu stepped out of the personal bathroom and immediately looked away, "O-Oh goodness! I didn't realize you were changing! My apologies!"

"It's alright! I don't really care honestly, I was just checking to see if my wounds healed up." Leonidus reassured her.

Momo looked towards Leonidus to see that he was pointing at his back.

"See? They're pretty yucky looking!" Alyx gagged.

"Do you have any medication that you can put on it by chance?" Momo asked.

"No, but could you give me your hands, please?" Alyx responded.

Momo walked towards him and held her hands outward. Leonidus' Overdrive lit up around her hands. He sat down on his bed with a shirt next to him.

"Just put your hands on my back and you'll be able to heal me. It won't get rid of the markings completely, it'll just get rid of some of the aching feeling." He continued.

She sat down behind him, "O-Okay, how will I know that I'm healing you?"

Momo pressed her hands gently against his back, a tingling sensation hit her hands, she watched as the Overdrive slowly seeped back into Alyx. He stood up and stretched a bit before bending all the way around to test his flexibility.

"Yep! I'm feeling a lot better!" Alyx chirped.

He stood up straight again then put on his shirt, "Well, if you'd like, you can sleep in my bed. I don't mind sleeping in the guest's room."

"Actually I..." Momo's voice trailed off.

Momo looked to the side and started to blush, "...I was wanting to sleep with you... I-If that's okay."

"O-O-Oh... I uh... Yeah! That's fine!" Alyx sputtered.

Leonidus climbed into bed next to her, he used an Overdrive Whip to turn off the lights, Momo curled up next to him as he laid back down.

"I just... I just really enjoy your warmth." Momo admitted.

"I see..." Alyx quietly replied.

"𝘖𝘩 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘩 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘩 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘩 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦!" Both Momo and Alyx thought.

Leonidus slowed his breathing down as he closed his eyes, he put one arm around Yaoyorozu and hoped for the best.

"It was you, wasn't it?" Momo suddenly spoke.

Alyx opened his eyes, "Hm? What do you mean?"

"Do you remember that Giant Villain that nearly killed a small family about a couple years back? I think his name was City Eater?" Momo asked.

"City Eater? Yeah, I remember that clear as day, it was the first time I ever used my Base Mode at full power. That's when I used to-" Alyx agreed.

"The S&S Vigilante?" Momo interrupted.

"How did you... Wait, no way, I saved you and your family from him?" Alyx marveled.

Momo looked at him and giggled, "And I just confirmed my suspicions about you too! You were the S&S Vigilante after all!"

"Ah, shoot..." Alyx muttered.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret!~" Momo winked.

The two eventually quieted down and tried to get some sleep, but Yaoyorozu had a question lingering in the back of her mind.

"One more thing," She spoke up, "You wouldn't happen to be looking for someone, are you, or are you more focused on your academics?"

"Do you mean romantically or like looking for as in wanting to kill?" Leonidus asked.

"The fact that I have to specify... Romantically, I meant." Momo sighed.

"Honestly, I've been thinking about that for a while now. I think I'm ready for another one. Although it'll take some time getting used to I'd imagine." He replied.

Momo didn't say anything, she scooted closer to Leonidus before closing her eyes. Alyx gently smiled at her as he relaxed himself, he closed his eyes then drifted into sleep, at least he thought he would. Visions of destroyed homes, burning buildings, and clouded skies ran through his mind.

"𝘏𝘦𝘺? 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦? 𝘈𝘭𝘺𝘹, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦, 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱! 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦?" A man's voice echoed.

In his sleep, his face twitched with uncertainty, was this the person that Amatsu was talking about?

[The Next Morning...]

"Get the fuck up." Bakugo told Alyx.

Leonidus shot up from his bed, "B-BAKUGO?! W-WHAT!? HOW?!"

"Your parents let me in, Blue, are you that fuckin' stupid or something? You said we were hanging out sometime." Bakugo fumed.

"Yeah but- Wait, did Momo leave already?" Alyx quickly replied.

"Yes, she already did, are you two like lovers or something?" He nodded.

"N-No! Well... Gah! I-I don't know, it's complicated, I guess?" Alyx sighed.

Bakugo lowered one of his eyebrows before rolling his eyes. He left the room and let Alyx get ready for the day. Leonidus left his room to meet Bakugo downstairs by the front door.

"Alright, I'll be back soon!" Alyx called out.

"Okay dear! You two be careful now!" Marie answered.

The boys left the house and walked down the street, the two stopped at a crosswalk, Bakugo looked over at Leonidus.

"So, you sure you two aren't a thing or whatever?" Bakugo asked once more.

"Y-Yeah, I'm sure, it's kinda weird honestly. I don't really know what to call it." He agreed.

"Sleeping in the same bed isn't relationship worthy to you? Seriously? Are you that naive?" Bakugo slightly laughed.

Alyx frowned and lowered his eyebrows, "No! I just don't want to assume anything, you know?"

"Yeah yeah, totally." Bakugo deadpanned.

The two crossed the street and made their way into a restaurant for breakfast. They got sat down in a booth after ordering.

"Hey, Blue, about what I said to you at the Festival. I was only meaning to rile you up, you know that, right?" Bakugo mentioned.

"Yeah, I know... But I've got a question for you, I don't mean anything by this, but why are you so nice to me?" Alyx inquired.

"Because you aren't like those other extras, there's something about you I can't place my finger on. Not to mention you're damn strong." Bakugo admitted.

Alyx felt a warm feeling in his chest and smiled, "Thank you, Bakugo. You're pretty damn strong yourself! Honestly, I'm really glad my family decided to move here, all of you are incredible people."

Bakugo didn't say anything as he looked out of the window, their food soon arrived, Katsuki looked at the large amounts of food in front of Alyx.

"Fuckin' hell, you gonna eat all that?" Bakugo chuckled.

"Uh huh! My Master's gotta food regimen set out for me that I follow everyday! Not to mention all of my training that I do in order to maintain control of my Quirks." Alyx nodded.

Bakugo nodded back at him, as Leonidus started eating, he glanced back at the building across the street. He noticed the peculiar architecture of the building, he looked for a door but couldn't find one.

"That building's never been there before..." Bakugo muttered.

"Hm? What?" Alyx replied.

Across the street, inside that very building, was Daniela Leonidus! The building was only a temporary hideout for her and her group known as "The Authority". She looked over a banister towards an empty chair.

"You haven't found Jax yet?" She questioned.

"We've been scouring the globe, Daniela. There's been no reading of him whatsoever." Black-Heart answered.

Ernesh smirked as he stood on the corner, "Good, the fool was too dumb to even take out his own Father. Didn't you all create me to kill that brat anyway? I would be more than enough to take him on."

"Heh... You say that now, then you'll be beggin' us for help when he kicks your ass." Gorgophone laughed.

Ernesh snarled at Gorgophone before an alarm sounded off. Daniela used a spell to look outside of the building and saw a rather unpleasant sight.

"W-What the?! How... How has he found this place?" Daniela panicked.

"Now's our chance! We can-" Arlen responded.

"No! We can't attack him yet, instead, we'll send in a decoy!" Daniela disagreed.

Meanwhile, Alyx inspected the building, "Hey, what do you think this place is?"

"Beats me, all I care about is-" Bakugo scoffed.

"GRAAAAGHH!!" Someone screamed.

Leonidus turned around and saw a behemoth of a man charging towards them! He quickly hit his watch and flipped over the man, his hero suit covered his body as he landed back on the ground.

"Woah! Easy there big guy!" Alyx shouted.

"Kill you! Stay away from Bull's Master!!" The man roared.

Bakugo blasted the Bull's back with an explosion, "Fuck off will you!? We ain't doing shit!"

Bull roared once more and grabbed Bakugo, jumping into the air with him. Alyx gave chase to the fiend as he jumped from building to building. Bakugo's explosions seemed to not phase Bull whatsoever! Bull chucked Bakugo into an open field, Leonidus tackled him and drove him into the ground.

"Fucking hell..." Bakugo sighed.

Leonidus ducked under Bull's huge right fist as it came towards him, "Here's a 'Fuck You Sandwich' coming riiiiight up!"

Leonidus punched Bull with a Full Power Overdrive Fist, Bull slid across the ground while still standing on his feet. Steam came out of Bull's mask as he brushed himself off.

"Melissa! I need some input here, is he out for the count?" Leonidus wondered.

"I'm reading his vital signs, his heartbeat is... Oh man..." Melissa relayed.

"Ah, crap..." Alyx simpered nervously.

As Bull charged towards Alyx, Katsuki pushed past Leonidus and held his hand out, unleashing a hellish explosion against Bull.

"G-Geez! Don't kill him, Bakugo!" Alyx fretted.

"Shut up, the worst I did was put 'em in a coma I bet!" Bakugo grinned.

The smoke cleared, revealing a huge hole in the ground with Bull knocked unconscious. Alyx grabbed Katsuki's wrist as his Overdrive activated once more.

"We should probably get going before the police show up." Alyx suggested.

The two took off into the sky back towards town, they landed on a rooftop, Leonidus hit his watch and his hero costume disappeared into his watch. The two looked to where the building was, but noticed that it was gone.

"Whoever the hell that guy's master was must've left. Damn shame, I wanted to bash some more skulls in." Bakugo noted.

"I guess it was all just a distraction, I wonder if we could've caught someone?" Alyx wondered.

With a narrow escape, Daniela and co retreat further into solitude, plotting the destruction of Alyx Leonidus. Meanwhile, somewhere in mountainous terrain, a group of explorers were wondering through a cave. They stumbled upon a man frozen in ice, to their surprise, he shot open his eyes as they approached him. Shortly after, screams and blood spattered against the wall as the man laughed maniacally.

"I'm coming for you... Leonidus!" He shouted.
