CHAPTER START---

Opening his eyes Law is greeted by the absolute darkness of his dorm room. So dark that his unmasked features cannot be seen, only felt by his bedmate who had a vice grip on him.

Momo's arms were holding onto him as her legs wrapped around him, their naked forms intertwined as they'd been all night.

Law relaxes and activates his Quirk, enjoying the feeling of Momo's body against him.

But he expands his senses across all of UA, sensing a few teachers already awake and preparing for their classes today.

Even fewer students are awake, as Law usually takes his hour of sleep and then wakes up before sunrise.

'Life at UA just keeps getting better...' he feels Momo press herself against him just a bit more before he gently moves her arm, signaling for her to roll over and release him.

'Time for work.'

SHAMBLES!

He warps away, and after a few minutes is stepping out of the shower to brush his teeth.

While brushing his teeth he unlocks his phone to check his messages, seeing a few from Ryukyu.

'Horizon, I'm sorry about my outburst during the Raid Debrief, it was just a lot to process in the moment. But you're right, Kai Chisaki was too dangerous and I wouldn't have been able to protect anyone from him if you didn't take such extreme measures. Also, working with you is always a pleasure, I hope we can team up again and more often.'

He finishes brushing his teeth and smiles, "Huh, maybe Nezu did have to worry about me fucking a dragon lady," he chuckles.

SHAMBLES!

He warps his UA uniform onto his person, along with his visor and body glove of course.

Standing in front of the mirror he takes another look at himself, making sure everything is in place before he continues scrolling through his phone.

Looking at all his updates from the Hero Network.

'Good progress, I guess we can start some more serious raids within three or four weeks. But I'll have to coordinate them simultaneously, Endeavor and Edgeshot will be instrumental in that. I can work solo...no, it'll be better if I keep Team Horizon together for this.

Our first big takedown as a full team. That'll definitely give the public even more reason to bet on us as the next 'big three'. But I want to be held apart from them, so I need to have them operating clearly under me instead of just as a team.

Ugh, but people are so brainwashed to expect conventional things that they won't let go of this 'big three' nonsense since they're so used to it. Maybe if I add one more person to the team that'll get the message through that I'm above the team just leading and building them.

Because Horizon has no peers, he's above everyone. But I need a third, someone that fits the efficient and all business culture and look of my team.'

He opens his files on the students of 1A and 1B, all the observations he's made regarding them as students, opponents, and allies.

'The best bet would be to get a girl into the team to show some inclusivity for the sheep, but the best of them is Momo, and she's not a good fit for our team culture. Sero and Shinso would feel limited in what they can do or how they can act with a girl there.

Not to mention I don't think she's as clear with her goals as them. Sero wants money, Shinso wants fame, but her nebulous goal of just helping people isn't selfish enough, I can't trust that not to fall apart when shit gets difficult.

The second best would be, Kendo or Tokage. But Kendo's Quirk sucks, just isn't multifunctional enough to warrant me giving her any training. And Tokage is useful but her goals are even more lofty than Momo's, if she has any.'

He scrolls through the short list of girls even more, "hmmm, Asui? But Asui doesn't like me, and won't mesh well with us," he releases a long sigh. "Plus any girl I pick will lead to them probably being jealous, fuck it, I'll just talk to Juzo about this. He fills the role that will be vacant if I'm not present."

Horizon sends him a quick message, inviting him to lunch with him.

"Yeah, Mudman is good at leading a team in his own way, his performance in the Mid Terms definitely shows that, Sero isn't the leader type he's more support. And Shinso is still more of a solo act, which works since he's a mini Eraser Head, so Mudman it is."

SHAMBLES!

Horizon warps back into his bedroom, and even in the absolute darkness he easily navigates it with his Quirk.

Opening his mini fridge he takes out a can of orange juice and one meal bar, then pauses, looking at the meal bar.

SHAMBLES!

He warps into the dorm kitchen, placing the meal bar on the counter and looking through the fridge.

"There has to be something in here, just something..." he says while looking through the fridge. "Really not in the mood for a meal bar."

"Looking for something?" Jiro asks, but gets no reaction after carefully sneaking up on him.

"Nothing specific, and my Quirk doesn't let you sneak up on me, which you should know."

"I had to try," Jiro shrugs before hopping up to sit on the counter. "I was just about to make breakfast, want me to make you some."

Horizon shuts the fridge and turns around to face her, seeing her already in full uniform. "Why are you up so early?"

"I have some reading to catch up on before class starts, you?"

"I'm always up this early, what are you making?"

"Oatmeal."

Horizon just sighs, "You got my hopes up, for oatmeal...really?"

"Hey I like it, besides don't you usually eat one of those candy bars for the entire day?"

"I'm in the mood for some actual food, and just because I can eat one of those and be fine doesn't mean I don't enjoy good food."

"Hey, I'm just surprised robots can eat," Jiro chuckles.

"Ugh, is that joke ever going away?"

"Not if the internet has anything to say about it, oh, sorry, not a robot, cyborg, right?"

"Sometimes I really hate the internet," he walks to where Jiro is sitting on the counter. "Makes me even happier that I've got this," he taps the side of his visor.

"But aren't you Horizon 24/7?"

"Sadly," Horizon says as he stands in front of her, making her look up at him. "So, ready to go get breakfast?"

"What do you mean 'go get breakfast'?"

He puts his hands on her waist and steps forward between her legs, and her face goes bright red.

"We've done more than just this and you're still blushing, I'll never get sick of that..."

Jiro looks away but raises her hands up to his shoulders, "well, it's still just, a lot you know."

"No, I don't know, now hold on," he quickly cups her ass and raises her up, and she instinctively wraps her legs and arms around him.

SHAMBLES!

They both appear on the far side of Musutafu, closer to the docks, in a small shop that's still closed. The security doors aren't even open for the public to see inside yet.

"Where are we?" Jiro asks as he gently puts her down, "did we break into this place?"

"Technically yes," Horizon says. "But they never mind..."

"Who---"

"Oh, it's you," an older man steps out of the back room where the kitchen is and sighs in relief. "I heard talking and thought someone broke in."

"Nope, just me."

"The usual?" the man asks, not even bothered by the two new people.

"Two, I brought a plus one," Horizon gestures to Jiro.

"Right, I'll make it extra special for your lady," the man says before he disappears into the kitchen.

"Uh, what was that?" Jiro asks, still stunned. "And I'm not supposed to leave UA without permission, my student ID is on me so they already know I broke the rules."

"And that I'm with you, and that you suddenly traveled 15km in an instant, it's fine."

"Oh, right, the Horizon privileges," she says.

"Well, when you're the best people treat you better, it's that simple."

"Like these people," Jiro gestures to the door to the kitchen. "What's the deal with them?"

"This place has the best Tamagoyaki in the city."

"You like omelet rolls?"

"Perfect breakfast food. And the owner usually starts preparing super early so he said I can just stop in whenever I want. Honestly, I have to force the guy to take my money..."

"Huh, so, did you save him or something?"

"Nope," Horizon shrugs. "They just know the low crime rate here is due to me, and they appreciate it."

Jiro has to stop herself from looking at him with stars in her eyes. But he still caught a glimpse of her admiration.

"I know you said your reasons for being a hero are selfish, but, doesn't it make you feel good when you know you helped people? Or at least when they're nice to you like this."

"It's just a job," Horizon says. "I knew people would be thankful like this but it's just a bonus that I rarely use. I do what's expected of me, that's all."

"Yeah but you don't do it for the money since you were rich before UA," Jiro twirls her Earlobes. "Did I ever tell you why I decided to be a hero?"

"I never asked, does it matter?"

Jiro rolls her eyes, "I'm trying for us to have a moment here, and the reason I decided to become a hero was, well, I just think that people who help others are really cool, people like you..."

A tense moment passes before Jiro looks up at him, then he just looks away from her and back toward the kitchen, "that's the most retarded reason I've ever heard."

"Uh, ah, ugh," Jiro sputters. "Why do I even like you!"

"Because I'm impossible to not fall in love with...or you just have bad taste in men," Horizon shrugs. "Probably both."

"You're just the worst," Jiro mutters.

"Yeah, but you like it," Horizon pulls her in close and opens his visor, to give her a gentle but passionate kiss.

And Jiro can't help but stand on her toes to get a bit closer to him.

"Uh, your breakfast is ready," they're suddenly interrupted by the business owner...
