Chapter Text

Izuku, Toru, and Mina finished cleaning the beach and celebrated their achievement with those closest to them. Aizawa and Nemuri were unable to attend due to a breakthrough in a quirk trafficking case they were involved in. The Hagakure and Ashido families gathered with the trio, Hitoshi and Toshinori, on the beach where they had a party and enjoyed the fruits of the teen's labor. As they celebrated, Izuku noticed a familiar face at the top of the steps staring down at them. Izuku slipped away and headed up the steps to where Himiko was standing.

"Himiko, why don't you come down. We're celebrating the beach getting cleaned."

Himiko smiled, but Izuku could see the strain in her face and how she shuffled her posture. She was on edge. "I can see that. That's a lot of people down there."

Izuku nodded "it's mostly Toru and Mina's families. Are... are you ok?"

Himiko hummed as she looked at the people "it's a lot of people..."

"Ah... yeah, it is. I get it if you're not comfortable. I can go get Toru and Mina-"

"Nah... good job on the beach, Mr.hero, tell your girlfriends congratulations."

"Sure... are you sure you don't want me to get them?"

Himiko shook her head "don't worry about it. I'll get to see you three cuties plenty later. I was just passing by. See you around Izu."

Izuku frowned as Himiko skipped down the street. She always avoided them if it was anyone more than the three of them, but if it was just Izuku and his girlfriends Himiko would pop by and sometimes spend hours talking with them. He made his way back down to the party and told Toru and Mina about Himiko stopping by.

Toshinori stood before the three teens. They all smiled, seeing their mentor had stuck to their plan and was starting to fill out a bit. He would always be a very skinny person, but at least he wouldn't look like a skeleton. "Alright, you three, the beach is clean... Thank you so much for that. This place holds many wonderful memories for me, and it makes me happy to see the beauty of the beach again. You've also done a great service to the community. Now we can start the All American Dream Plan!"

Toshinori handed out a stack of paper to each of them "this details your workout schedule, sleep schedule, and diet. Keep to this plan, and you'll be more than ready for UA. it's especially important for you, Young Hagakure, to not stray from this plan."

Toru blew a raspberry. "This is gonna be tough, but I'll do my best, sir."

Mina looked it over "oh wait, hold on. This list of food we can't have is not gonna fly, Mr.Yagi; some of my favorites are on here."

Toshinori shrugged "save them for your cheat days. Now let's get warmed up and start the training!"

__________________________________________________________________

Izuku smiled as Nemuri paced around the kitchen cooking "you know I would have helped get dinner ready if you wanted."

Nemuri stopped and looked at him. "No, I'm fine. It's your day off, just relax and rest from your training. Hirooki will be over soon. I'm sure you'll want to ask a million questions about Indonesia."

The doorbell rang, and Izuku hopped up, "speak of the devil."

Hirooki smiled as Iuzku opened the door "heya, kid. It's been a while."

Izuku smiled and gave them a quick hug "it's good to see you again. Nemuri is running around the kitchen like a deranged chicken."

"Hey! I heard that!" Nemuri yelled before poking her head out of the kitchen and waving a bit, "hey... I'm a bit behind, but dinner will be done soon."

Hirooki chuckled and gave her a quick kiss "take your time. I can wait. Though you may want to check this out."

Nemuri groaned as they handed her a magazine "another tabloid? What are they saying about me now?"

Izuku watched her eyes widen before her face turned into a scowl. She growled and slapped the magazine on the counter "that's so stupid!"

Izuku walked over and picked up the magazine. He realized immediately what the issue was. The front cover was a photo of the two of them on one of Nemuri's days off. They were headed into a restaurant. The headline questioned who the young man was and what his relationship was with Midnight. Hirooki sat on the couch and said, "I read it just cause I wanted to see what they would say."

Izuku left the magazine and sat on the couch. "I kinda forgot this was something that was gonna happen. We had just gotten lucky for so long."

Hirooki chuckled, "well, according to that particular magazine, it looks like Midnight has a new 'boy toy is what I think they said. Though he looks kinda young for her. Could Midnight be taking advantage of this innocent young man?"

Izuku watched Nemuri groan loudly and glared at the magazine. "I hate these people. They're gonna bug me to no end until I give a statement."

"Are you going to tell them? Because I don't really mind if you tell them I'm your kid."

Nemuri rubbed the bridge of her nose. "I guess I'll have to. It's better than them trying to run with the idea that I'm dating some high schooler."

Nemuri finished putting dinner together while Hirooki told Izuku about the heroes they met in Indonesia and the quirks they used during the rescue and clean-up work. Once dinner was ready, the three sat around and ate dinner while catching up and talking about future plans.

__________________________________________________________________

The All-American Dream Plan was hell. The trio spent more time sore than they didn't, but the results started to show themselves over time. The trio and Hitoshi were down at the beach on a day off, enjoying the good weather. Toru sat on a blanket in a pastel blue one-piece with frills across the chest with dark blue trim and a white shawl over her shoulders. She had been enjoying the weather and the beach in general until her partners showed up, and Toru came to the wonderful conclusion that her partners looked hot and were jacked.

Izuku stood there in dark green trunks as he talked to Mina about something. Mina was dressed in a two-piece black swimsuit with white polka dots. As they talked and motioned with their arms. Toru noticed that Izuku had gotten taller, and his muscles were more toned. He stood straighter than when they had first met, and his shoulders were broader nowadays. She frowned a bit, seeing some faint scars on his shoulders, chest, and back.

Toru's eyes wandered over to Mina, who was laughing and Toru had to suppress a groan. They were both hot, and it wasn't fair. Mina had curves in all the right places, and now, with the workout regime they'd been doing, her legs looked even better.

"I'm gonna assume you're drooling over your partners."

Toru jumped and nearly yelped as she looked at Hitoshi, who was standing there in purple trunks. He stared down at her and said, "you know you're dating them, so you could just go up and... touch them or whatever."

Toru sputtered, "I- well yeah, but... they're so hot I get nervous."

Hitoshi sighed and rolled his eyes before laying out on a towel. "I'm gonna take a nap; you guys go splash around or whatever."

Toru hopped to her feet and took a deep breath before going over to her partners. Despite all her issues with being invisible, she was glad it hid her blush for her.

_____________________________________________________________________

Mina smiled, "So how long are we gonna stand here acting like we're talking about something?"

Izuku cleared his throat. "I just need a minute... Toru looks really cute, and it's hard not to stare at her."

"She does look adorable in that swimsuit... though why aren't you struggling with me being near you?" Mina motioned to herself, "I'm wearing my best swimsuit." She grinned as she realized her boyfriend was looking near her but never right at her. "Oh, that's why."

Izuku's face felt hot as he crossed his arms "shut up."

Mian giggled and grabbed his arm and pulled him close before kissing him quickly. She smiled, seeing Izuku blush and tense up "come on, you need to compliment your girlfriends on their swimsuits. It's what a good boyfriend is supposed to do."

Izuku looked at Mina and felt his brain sorta skip a bit, but he managed to say, "You look great. In that swimsuit. I-it suits you really well."

Mina grinned "thanks. You look super hot as well."

While Izuku blushed and tried to pull himself together, Toru came over, and Mina complimented her swimsuit, and Toru fidgeted as she returned the compliment. Izuku managed to pull himself together and complemented Toru. The trio spent a few hours having fun and enjoying the beach.

__________________________________________________________________

Himiko took a shaky breath as blood dripped from her mouth. Her uniform was ruined, but it wasn't her fault. The guy bleeding out behind the dumpster wasn't cute at all. She wanted nothing to do with him, but he kept following her. He recognized her apparently from one of the lovely people she'd cut up. Himiko was on edge and made a mistake. She was cornered, and he was mad, so she killed him, and then she saw his blood, and it looked so tasty, and now she was a mess.

Himiko pulled on her quirk to change into the man, but a wave of nausea hit her, and she stumbled and nearly fell over. "D-damn it... stupid fuck was high on something." she felt her body wretch as her quirk squirmed under her skin and failed to activate.

"C-can't do that again... gotta walk home... while covered in blood. Totally not cute." Himiko tried to whip the blood off her face but simply smeared it across her cheek as she stumbled out of the alleyway. Luckily it was late, and no one was out. Himiko stumbled down the street. She was pretty sure she was heading the right way. Whatever that guy had in his blood was really messing with her. Tonight was not going to be fun.

________________________________________________________________

Toru slipped her shoes on. "I'm heading out real quick. Be back in a minute."

Toru's mom told her to be safe as the invisible girl headed out into the night for a last-minute snack run. Despite the time, Toru decided to go a bit farther to get to her favorite convenience store. She jogged there and arrived in a few minutes, then grabbed her snacks and paid. As Toru walked home, she saw someone staggering their way down the road. 'Is that a drunk lady?'

Toru was getting ready to walk around her when she saw the messy buns and realized the lady was wearing a school uniform. As Toru got closer, she said, "is that you, Himiko?"

Himiko stopped moving, and Toru walked around only for the words in the invisible girl's mouth to die as she saw the blood covering Himiko's mouth and the front of her uniform. "Himiko?! What happened?"

Himiko blinked slowly and looked at Toru. "Toru... cutie."

Toru felt panic rising in her chest. "Um, Himiko, can you understand me?

"Hmmm... what do you want? I ain't got any money."

Toru pulled her phone out. "I'm gonna call Izuku ok. Just wait a second."

Himiko sat down on the sidewalk and stared at the blood on her hands. Toru watched as Himiko licked the dried blood slowly. "H-Himiko, maybe don't do that."

The older girl stopped "...it tastes good but funny too..."

Toru's phone rang twice before Izuku answered, "Hey, what's up?"

Toru did her best not to sound panicked. "I um was out and found Himiko... She's got a lot of blood on her. She doesn't look hurt, though. I don't really know what to do."

Something fell over on Izuku's side of the line "fuck... uh, what has she said?"

"Nothing really... she looks really out of it." Toru pushed Himiko's hands away from her face.

Izuku was silent for a moment before saying, "bring her here. If she worries about other people, Nemuri is out on patrols tonight. I know some first aid and stuff. If something is wrong with her that we can't help with, we'll take her to the hospital."

"O-ok, can you call Mina? I'll bring Himiko."

"Good idea, and Toru, I'm sure Himiko will be fine," Izuku said, settling Toru only slightly.

____________________________________________________________________

Izuku opened the door and let Himiko and Toru in. Mina jumped up off the couch and rushed over to help Himiko to the bathroom. As they sat Himiko down, Mina asked, "She's really out of it. What happened?"

"I don't know. She was stumbling around when I found her." Toru said as they started trying to clean the blood off Himiko's face and hands.

Izuku knelt in front of Himiko "hey Himiko how are you feeling?"

Himiko blinked "...bad. Stupid guy... high on something."

The girls looked concerned, and Izuku chewed his lip "guy? Did someone hurt you?"

Himiko giggled "he wishes he could have."

Mina swallowed "who's blood is this, Himiko?"

The older girl shrugged "didn't get a name. Not cute at all, and blood had stuff in it. Quirk didn't like it."

Izuku swallowed and let Toru clean Himiko's face off before he asked, "so his blood reacted poorly with your quirk?"

Himiko nodded slowly "... drugs in blood... don't work well with quirk. Make me all..."

Izuku tapped her knee "Himiko."

Himiko took a breath "blugh... I wanna vomit."

Mina grabbed a bucket and shoved it in front of the blonde, who promptly leaned over and retched into it. The girls rubbed Himiko's back as Izuku held the bucket. Once Himiko was done vomiting, she groaned, "not cute... stupid druggie."

The girls finished cleaning Himiko's hands and face. Izuku checked her face and mouth but didn't see anything wrong. He assumed Himiko's issues were stemming from her quirk. Mina spoke up as she put the rag down "let's get her out of these clothes. Izuku, we'll get her cleaned up. Can you lend her some clothes?"

Izuku nodded and put the bucket to the side. "I'll leave them outside the bathroom and go heat up some food."

As they started getting ready, Toru's phone rang. The invisible girl cursed before she answered, "Hey, mom... No, I'm fine. Yeah, I just... ran into a friend, and she needed my help. Mina and Izuku are with me... Mom! No, that's not what's happening, gosh. I'll see you later. I love you."

Mina giggled "what did your mom assume?"

"N-nothing. Come on, let's get Himiko cleaned up."

Izuku left the bathroom, put some of his clothes outside the bathroom, and informed the girls before heading to the kitchen to put something together for Himiko to eat. He wasn't sure if she'd be able to eat anything, but it'd be better for her to have the option when she came out.

___________________________________________________________________

Himiko groaned as Toru and Mina helped her get dressed. The effects of her quirk messing up were starting to wear off, and she was beginning to feel really tired. The girls managed to get her to the living room, but she passed out shortly after lying on the couch.

Izuku sighed and started putting the food away. "I'll text Nemuri and tell her Himiko's sleeping on the couch."

Toru sighed as she leaned on the counter in the kitchen. "So... her quirk was acting up because some guy who attacked her had drugs in his blood?"

Izuku nodded "none of us know her quirk, though. She's never talked about it, but we can assume it has to do with other people's blood. She probably has to ingest it to do something."

Mina came back from dropping Himiko's clothes in the wash. "Do you think she'll be ok?"

Izuku shrugged "not sure. If she's still not feeling right in the morning, we'll have to try and convince her to go to a hospital."

"Do you think it'll be hard to do that?" Toru asked as she leaned on Mina's shoulder.

Mina hummed "she is pretty skittish if other people are around. She'll probably be reluctant at best." Mina leaned on Toru's head "she's really taken a liking to us, huh?"

Izuku nodded, "that just means we have to try our best to help her..." Izuku blushed. "So, are you two going to stick around?"

Mina smirked, "oh are you asking your girlfriends to stay over for the night since your mom isn't home?"

Izuku scoffed "what? No... I just didn't know how you'd feel about Himiko being here alone with me... I figured you'd want to stay."

Toru pushed off the counter and hugged Izuku. "That's sweet. We know you wouldn't do anything, Izuku, and honestly, I don't think my parents would let me stay even if I did think something would happen."

Mina smiled and walked up, giving Izuku a kiss on the cheek. "I trust you too, babe. Text us tomorrow morning. We'll come over asap and talk with Himiko."

Izuku nodded and gave both girls a quick kiss "of course. Goodnight, you two. Get home safe."

The two girls nodded and said their goodbyes leaving Izuku to get ready for bed. Things with Himiko were not what he was expecting them to be. She seemed to be a good friend, but she kept so much close to her chest it felt like they barely knew her. Izuku sighed, and before heading to bed, he checked on Himiko, who was still sleeping soundly.

_________________________________________________________________

Himiko groaned and blinked the sleep out of her eyes as she sat up. Her head was throbbing, and her mouth tasted like copper and vomit. She looked around and panicked, quickly gripped her chest, and woke her up 'where am I? This isn't where I was squatting... what happened?'

Himiko was about to get up and go see who grabbed her off the street and maybe kill them when she smelled something. Himiko grabbed her shirt and sniffed it. A smile broke out as she curled up and giggled a little to herself. 'Izu smells good... but if he saw me, he probably told Toru and Mina...'

Himiko got up and snuck around the apartment. She found her clothes in the dryer and took them out before peaking in on Izuku. She smiled, seeing his sleeping face. Himiko bit her lip and exited the room. She knew for sure that Izuku had seen her less than stellar state. She couldn't remember much, so it's possible the other two saw her. Letting them see the bloody part of her life was not something that was supposed to happen until she wanted them to see it. Himiko grumbled as she headed for the door. She'd need to put some distance between them for a few days just until she could think of a way to explain things in a way that wouldn't lead to them prying into her life.

"Leaving already?" Himiko's head snapped around to look at Nemuri in the kitchen. Nemuri sipped some tea. "Izuku and the others will worry if you're not here tomorrow morning."

Himiko slipped her shoes on and left without a word. She knew they'd be sad, and it was cute to think of how distraught they'd be, but once she knew what to say and came back, it would be even better. Himiko smiled as she walked out into the night. Just give it a couple days, then talk to them and get even closer to the three cute heroes.

____________________________________________________________________

Izuku sighed as he sat on the beach with his girlfriends. Today was the day. Toru would gain One for All, but something weighed on all three of them for the past couple of months. Mina leaned her head on his shoulder "thinking about Himiko?"

Izuku nodded "she just disappeared. We haven't seen her in so long. I guess I'm worried about her."

Toru leaned on his other shoulder as she said, "same. Her phone got disconnected, so we can't even try to call her. None of us know where she lives either."

The three sat there worrying over their odd friend as Toshinori arrived. He cleared his throat "uh... are you three alright?"

The three teens looked up at their mentor, who stood a little straighter and looked healthier every day. Izuku nodded as the girls got up "yeah, just worrying about our friend. We still haven't heard or seen her in a while."

"Ah yes, you told me about that. I hope things work out for the best, but today we have something very important to do." Toshinori bulked up into All Might as Toru stood in front of him. Mina and Izuku stood on either side of Toru as All Might spoke, "you three have proven to be wonderful heroes. You not only restored this beach but my hope for the future and even managed to set me on a path to better help. Young Hagakure, it is thanks to you and your heroic spirit that all this happened. Make no mistake, young lady, you earned this, and I cannot wait for the day when you can say 'I am here'!"

Toru teared up a bit and took a deep breath. All Might plucked a hair from his bangs and, while still smiling, said, "now to gain my power... eat this!"

The teens stared at his hair than at him for several seconds before Mina muttered, "well... I'm even more glad I didn't accept this."

Izuku facepalmed, "sir... why are you trying to feed Toru your hair?"

The symbol of peace sputtered, "well... One for all requires a transfer of DNA, and this is the least gross option I could think of."

Izuku stared in disbelief "sir... we could do a small blood transfusion. You have to know someone who could do that for us."

All Might deflated back into Toshinori. "Hm... yes, I do. I will give her a call and see if she's available." the pro clapped Izuku on the back "so glad you're here to help make sure things go smoothly, Young Midoriya."

Izuku groaned as their mentor stepped aside and pulled his phone out. The blonde man spoke for a few minutes before coming back, "alright, load up into my truck; we're headed to UA."

The teens did a double-take, and Toru said, "wait, what? We're going to UA?"

Toshinori nodded "yes, the nurse there is Recovery Girl. She, as well as dean Nezu, know about One for All. now come on, we don't got all day."

The group piled into Toshinori's truck and drove towards the teen's dream school. Izuku spoke up as they drove "this isn't my first time at UA."

Mina giggled. "What did Nemuri take you to work one day?"

Izuku nodded "technically, she did take me to UA one day, but it was before she adopted me."

Toru leaned forward. "So why'd she take you to UA?"

Izuku rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "I uh... I got hurt real bad. Recovery Girl patched me up. That was back before I met Toru."

Izuku didn't see the concerned looks his girlfriends shared in the back seat. The rest of the ride was spent in idle chatter. As they pulled up to the teacher's parking lot, Nezu was standing there waiting for them. The Dean smiled as they filed out "ah, it's wonderful to see you, Toshinori. It is also wonderful to finally meet your students."

Toshinori nodded. "It's good to see you too, sir. This is Toru Hagakure, Mina Ashido and Izuku Midoriya. They all have true heroic spirits."

Nezu smiled as his black eyes scanned them. "Wonderful to meet you two, and it is a pleasure to see you again and in better health, Mr.Midoriya."

Izuku nodded "it's good to see you as well, sir."

The Dean nodded once more before turning and starting to walk "let's not keep Recovery Girl waiting."

________________________________________________________________

When they arrived at the nurse's office, Recovery Girl led Toru to a bed and instructed Toshinori to sit nearby as she got ready to draw his blood. Mina sat by Toru and saw Izuku turning to the Dean. "sir, could I speak to you in private for a moment?"

Nezu smiled and motioned for the door "of course, Mr.Midoriya."

The two exited the nurse's office and walked a short way away to an empty dead-end hallway. "What would you like to discuss, Mr.Midoriya?"

Izuku fidgeted and cleared his throat. "It's something I was going to bring up once I was in UA, but since I'm here... why did you listen to me about what to do with Bakugo back then? I was a kid who'd been getting bullied by him for years. You had no reason to follow through with what I said. You could have informed the police and let him pay for his crimes."

Nezu chuckled softly as he looked at a map of UA at the end of the hall. "After I found the footage of Mr. Bakugo's assault, I looked into him more. I saw he had plenty of potential but was straying. I had plans for a much harsher way to set him on the right path, but I wanted to see what you said first."

The Dean approached the map as his eyes scanned it. A false layout of his domain set here to confuse people for his enjoyment and throw off those who would wish to do him harm. "After you spoke to me about what you wanted to happen and I saw the look in your eyes, I was reminded of someone I care about."

The Dean turned to face Izuku, who was watching him intently. "Do you know anything about my past, Mr.Midoriya?"

Izuku shook his head. "I've looked a bit, but I haven't found much of anything from before you becoming the dean of UA."

"That is because I do not want it to be easy. I have experienced much hardship in my life, much like you. I do not remember much of my early life, but before UA, I was a test subject for humans to poke and prod. I am part of the first generation of animals who have gained quirks. My hyper-intelligence was of such interest to them. They wanted to know my limits no matter how hard it hurt."

The Dean sighed as his paw traced his scar. "I grew to despise almost all of humanity while I was there. The only reason I do not say all of you is because quirked animals were not the only ones being tested. They believed mutation quirks were a link to animals having quirks, so there were humans as well. Of those test subjects who were human was a young woman who cared for the animal subjects. She found out about my plans to escape and kill all the humans I could find, but she convinced me to be more merciful, and so I was. I killed those who directly hurt me, and those who were left were spared while I worked on catching their bosses."

Izuku looked on with shock clearly evident on his face. Nezu chuckled, "as it turned out. Sparing them was the right choice. When I tracked down the bosses who ordered the experiments and brought them forth to face justice, those I spared testified against them. They were imprisoned for life with no chance of parole. It also set in motion Japan's quirked animal rights act, which paved the way for me becoming UA's Dean."

Izuku blinked. "I... that's. I had no idea you suffered so much, sir. What happened to the woman who spoke to you?"

Nezu smiled "she married the lawyer I had hired to help me back then, and they have a wonderful family. I often stop by to spend new years with them, but that is beside the point. I suppose what I'm getting at is, as I stated earlier, you reminded me of her, and I felt the desire to put her words into practice again. I feel that while I am quite merciful, I have also strayed in recent years and become quite harsh to those not affiliated with UA." 

The Dean locked eyes with Izuku "so thank you, Mr.Midoriya, for reminding me of my first friend and the way she wanted me to live my life. If you'd like to know, I can update you on Mr. Bakugo's status. Whether or not he is still on the right track or not."

Izuku bit his lip but shook his head "no, sir. I'd like to find out once I'm in UA."

Nezu smiled "then let us head back. I'm sure they're already done with the transfer."

Izuku nodded and followed the Dean back to the nurse's office.

______________________________________________________________

Izuku entered and took a seat by Mina, who took his hand and whispered, "you good?"

Izuku nodded "yeah. Just had to ask him something. Learned more than I thought, but I feel good."

Toru chuckled, "good to hear. I feel normal, which is not what I was expecting. I kinda thought there'd be this big woosh or something."

Toshinori chuckled "we'll give it a couple hours, then see what's changed. Nezu, would you mind if we use one of your gyms?"

Nezu chuckled as he poured some tea "of course I don't mind. It will be wonderful to know what the ninth user is capable of before she comes here."

They spent their time waiting in the nurse's room. After some time, Toshinori placed a hand on his chest and spoke so softly they almost didn't hear him "It's moved on..."

The teens saw a tear prick the corners of his eye, but he quickly wiped it away and stood. "Come along now. Nezu, which gym shall we use?"

The Dean tapped his chin. "Gym Zeta is empty, and if her quirk reacts how Mr.Midoriya and I think it will, Zeta will have what we need."

__________________________________________________________________

The group made their way to Gym Zeta and found it empty as Nezu said it would be. Recovery Girl retrieved a few pairs of shades as she explained, "Gym Zeta is specialized for quirks that cause a lot of light. Nezu informed me you can cause flashes of light, so while you see what you're capable of, we will all wear these, so no one goes blind."

Toru nodded and hopped around a bit as everyone else put on their shades "alright... let's do this."

Mina and Izuku chuckled as their cute invisible girlfriend jogged a few yards away and shook her arms, making her silver bracelets jingle. Toru took a deep breath and showed off her basic light refraction abilities. A couple quick flashes from her hands and face, and then because her partners were watching and wouldn't go blind, she showed off, making the source of the light dance across her arms, face, and legs. She was glad she wore shorts today.

She smiled, hearing them both chuckle but quickly decided to get back on track. She could feel the difference right when she started refracting light. She wasn't sure what was going to happen, but she could feel her quirk wanting to go farther than before. Toru took a deep breath and muttered, "plus ultra."

Toru turned so she wasn't facing her audience and held her hands out, and started to refract light. As the light bent to her will, she felt energy being pulled from the other parts of her body exposed to light. The power built in her arms, and Toru sucked in a breath as she watched a rainbow of light pass before her eyes before suddenly it all disappeared, and she felt a tingling in her hands. Toru looked up and gasped, feeling the energy falter and stop as she looked at the hole she was melting in the wall.

Toru stumbled back as a wave of exhaustion washed over. She groaned and felt hands on her shoulders. The invisible girl looked over and saw her partners holding her up as Nezu clapped. "That was quite the show. It seems One for All has boosted your light refracting ability to the point where you can fire lasers. How did you feel while you were melting the gym wall?"

Toru shook her head. "Um... I could feel the energy from inside me move to my arms, and all the parts of me exposed to light seemed to channel the light towards my arms. Then it all just went out and... sorry about the wall."

The Dean laughed. "No need to apologize, my dear. I cannot wait to see what else you'll be able to do, but for now, I believe it would be best for you to go home and rest."

The teens thanked Recovery Girl and Nezu for their time and headed to Toru's house to let the invisible girl rest and so they could just spend more time together while not at school or working out.

Notes:

check out my latest fic's first chapter it's called Watching Over You.
