Back in the dorms, the class was lazing on the couch as they had a day off after the Humarise crisis. Iida is reading about engines at the dining table with an orange juice half full. On the couch was Uraraka, Aoyama, Mina, Sero, Kaminari, and Mineta. Sero and Kaminari were playing a fighting game on the TV while the others on the couch watched or switched in when they needed to. Everyone else was either in their room or in the gym like Bakugou, Todoroki and Kirishima. Momo suddenly burst out of the elevator along with everyone else.
"Switch to the news!"
Quickly turning off the game Mineta changed it to the news. It was showing Midoriya cuffed to a chair with turrets pointed at him and in front of him was Madam President of the HPSC. Momo noticed the red vials loaded in the guns.
"Is that-?"
"Quirk nulifiers. They really went all out."
Everyone turned to Bakugou to keep explaining.
"The commission is planning to turn his quirk off so he can't adapt to whatever the hell they throw at him next."
The class's eyes widened at the revelation as their attention was drawn to the TV by the sound of gunfire. The room Midoriya was trapped in was filled with smoke completely hiding the room. The class watched on in suspense that is until Bakugou spoke.
"The hell you all worried for? It'll take a lot more than that to take care of that bastard. Especially after Humarise."
The dust cleared revealing Midoriya sitting on a metal throne made from the turrets from the wall. He was looking at the president with a bored expression. The class blew a sigh of relief seeing that he was okay. The broadcast continued with Midoriya walking through the glass wall separating him from his jailer and arresting them. Looking over to the camera he signed off. The news anchors reappeared now discussing the footage they were shown. Bakugou walked back into the kitchen to get himself a drink followed by Kirishima. The rest of the class stayed on the couch with the news still on and waited for Midoriya to return from his false imprisonment.
An hour passed with nothing notable happening as the news kept discussing the leaked documents. That was until an urgent announcement was made.
"Look it's Invincible."
Cameras pointed to the sky showing Invincible slowly floating down and landing on an awning. Invincible's eyes shifted and the protesting crowd spread out. Even the class felt some form of compulsion from his words.
"What the hell was that?!"
"He should explain it. The crowd looks more confused than we are."
Invincible apologised for the mishap saying it was an unknown side effect and allowed the reporters to ask some questions. The questions were mainly to confirm what was shown on the news the fates of the people involved and Invincible's immunity to quirk cancelling effect which seemed to be the main question in the crowd. After a few minutes, the crowd started to disperse and the reporters began to pack up when suddenly a white blur sped past them and onto the awning.
Believing that it might be an attacker the cameras were quickly pointed in the blurs direction.
"Izu!"
'Izu!?'
This thought was shared by everyone in the class though one was more... possessive yet sad. The camera focused on the blur, it was Miruko who was hugging Invincible tightly with a bright smile on her face.
"Yeah, I am. Sorry about worrying you Rumi."
If it wasn't obvious before it was now. The two of them seemed to have realised where they were woken up from their focus on each other by the crowd and teleported away in a wisp of green smoke. The class was very surprised by this as before this Midoriya had not shown any interest in anything like dating. Every interaction they had with him did not indicate he would be open to a relationship with anyone. The only hint of it would be during the interview training with Mt Lady. A shrill shriek interrupted their ruminating. Mineta was on the floor on his knees with red scratch marks on his face.
"How the hell did this happen!? All the girls in class already like him and now he bagged the best one!"
A prehensile tongue came from behind and smacked him on the head making him pass out face down ass up on the carpet.
"Hey Bakubro, did you know anything about this?"
"How the hell would I know? I see him just as much as you all do Metapod!"
"Didn't know you cared about Pokemon enough to reference it."
"Shut it Electabuzz!"
"Enough of Bakugou's surprising interests. Do any of you have any inkling of Midoriya being in a relationship with Miruko?"
The class looked at each other with a look of 'Do you know anything?' but after a few seconds, it was obvious that they knew nothing. Mina slammed her fists on the table.
"How the hell could I have missed this!? I thought I had a knack for these kinds of things."
Toru patted her on the back comforting the gossip queen.
"Don't blame yourself, Mina. He doesn't talk about that kind of stuff around the class. We wouldn't have known."
The others didn't really know what to think about this but decided to confront Midoriya when he got back.
---
Inko was watching the protest on the news waiting worriedly for her son to return. Seeing him appear above the building calmed her down immensely as she lay on the couch. As she was about to get up turn off the TV and go about her day sudden gasps caught her attention.
"Izu!"
The rabbit hero was hugging her son.
'The rabbit hero was hugging Izuku. She even used a nickname'
"Yeah, I am. Sorry about worrying you Rumi."
'First names! I need to meet her.'
Like the wind, Inko disappeared out of her door.
'We have so much to talk about Rumi.'

The stockpile now only has one chapter remaining with the one after almost done. I'm running into a big block and I feel that it would be best if I take a week off uploading to rebuild the buffer. If I do go through with it you all will still get the next chapter after this one and I'll do a small mass release if I feel it would not eat into the stores too much.
