Chapter 16
Mighty World. One of the many theme parks modeled after the now-late All Might. Of course, it wasn't all All Might, it was based on. There was Endeavor, Hawks, Miriko, and lots of other things based on other heroes.
It was Izuku's favorite park...and so naturally when Ochaco, jokingly, pointed out one day that they had enough money to just buy it, he did so immediately.
Meaning that Izuku could, when the park was normally closed, open it back up for himself, and whoever he felt like bringing.
Of course, he would hire temporary employees to operate everything, exclusively for when he felt like doing this, because he couldn't reasonably ask that the normal employees just not have a day off.
But aside from them, it would be a pretty much empty park.
And leave it to Bakugo to ruin that for him.
He watched as his daughter ran around the park with a smile on her face. She instantly got on all the rides, she effortlessly won all the prizes(Because they made everything easier), and all the food was pre-paid so she could just ask for whatever she wanted. And she was having fun. Lots of it! And he loved that.
But Bakugo's words about him hiding her away from everyone, seeped into his mind, as he looked at the completely empty park.
There should be people here. It was unnatural for a park this big to be this empty.
It made them look...alone.
And so that is what led to Izuku, sitting down on a nearby bench, holding an enormous Unicorn plush, pouting as he watched his daughter do the ring toss game not too far away.
"Izuku, you gonna spoil it for her!" Ochaco scolded. His wife was sitting next to him, holding up some half-eaten Cotton Candy.
"I'm sorry dear it's just that...she shouldn't be running around this park when it's so empty," Izuku confessed to her.
Ochaco gave her husband a confused look. "You want to be in this park on a normal day?"
"No. I don't think she could handle that...honestly I don't think I can handle that." Izuku admitted. "But she should have some friends! Growing up without any friends is unhealthy! I mean look at me! Remember how I was when we met!?"
Ochaco grabbed Izuku's face and made him look at her directly, eye to eye. "Izuku, you know that the reason you were the way you were, was not just because of a lack of friends. And you know that we would never. EVER. let her get like that."
"I know. I know. But friends, and having a social life, is a big part of a child's life." Izuku told her, before looking away. "Sometimes I wonder, what would have happened if I met you instead of Bakugo back then. How different would my life have turned out? How different would both of our lives have turned out?"
"Well." Ochaco leaned back into the bench. "My guess, we would have been best friends from minute one. I would have been kicking the crap out of bullies in elementary school. We'd have been dating since middle school. And we'd have been married way sooner...and you wouldn't have had to endure all that pain...and you'd probably have better self-esteem."
"Hmmm. I'm not sure about that last part." Izuku remarked. Getting a questioning look from his wife.
"You think I would have let people talk to you like they did?" Ochaco asked him. "I wouldn't have even let them near you."
"And that's kind of the problem," Izuku told her. "I have no doubt my life would have been better if you'd been around earlier. But as much as I hate to say it, it would have been far from perfect. At the end of the day, I would have been living my life in a cage. With you keeping me from everyone else, away from the rest of the world. No one would be able to hurt me. But all I'd ever have was you and mom...and if something happened to you...I wouldn't have been able to keep going."
Ochaco gave him a concerned look, and Izuku immediately started panicking.
"It's not like I'm saying it's your fault or anything! You just wanted to keep me safe, and you helped me through the darkest period of my life. But because I never really...improved. I became dependent on you." Izuku clarified. "And I just let you, because I had no aspirations left."
Ochaco frowned, and looked down at her feet thoughtfully for a good minute, before giving her response. "I get it now. I'm sorry that I...I didn't do more to help you-"
"I told you it's not your fault. If anything it's mine." Izuku cut her off, not letting her blame herself for this. "You're not a psychologist now, and you definitely weren't back when we met. You were just a high school girl, doing her best to fix a broken person that no one else really wanted to deal with. And I'm so grateful for it. But mistakes were made along the way. And we're making those same mistakes with Eri, I think. We're keeping her away from the rest of the world, and we need to stop."
Ochaco nodded. "I see what you're saying. We need to expose Eri, bit by bit, to the outside world...but where do we start? None of our friends have any kids we can introduce her to, and I think school may be a bit much right now."
Izuku paused to think about that. "I...I don't know. All I know is that we need to get her some friends."
The two parents looked out towards their daughter, who was still running around, playing games.
"Alright." Izuku set the giant Unicorn aside. "Let's get to brainstorming."
XXXXXXXX
"Swordsman. Have you approached the park yet?"
Standing in an alleyway close to the amusement park that Izuku and Ochaco were located in, was a man dressed in bright purple, wielding a Katana, and talking into a communicator.
"I am nearby." The uncreatively named Swordsman said into the commutator "The others are in position, I will start approaching no-"
SLICE.
Suddenly a knife flew past Swordsman, skewering his communicator.
Swordsman looked behind him and saw Stain standing there, with his own Katana in hand.
The purple grabbed villain readied his sword. "The hero killer I presume? If I recall correctly, I am not a hero?"
"I'm in the interest of getting rid of scum." Stain took out his second Katana. "And you. Definitely qualify."
"Well then, I believe no more words are required." Swordsman got into a battle stance. "Have at you!"
XXXXXXXXX
"Hey, maybe we should start a program!" Ochaco suggested, gaining her husband's attention. "After we take care of this tech leak, we can start a program for exceptional students to be mentored by um...I don't know Hatsume or something, and then we can take a look at their profiles and how they behave and see if we can introduce some of the kids to Eri! How does that sound?"
Izuku took a minute to think about it. "Sounds reasonable. I can imagine we can find some good kids to make friends with. And they'd all share an interest in technology."
"Ok, but real quick. We are sure she is actually interested in making and studying technology, and it's not just her wanting to be interested in what you're interested in right?" Ochaco asked him.
"I think so. At least she seems eager. It'll be hard to know for sure given that she'd probably say she's interested regardless of how she actually feels." Izuku said. "I think we should go through with the plan and see what happens. If she is genuinely interested then that's good. If not, then I'm sure they can find something else to bond over. Although Mei won't like having a bunch of kids distract her during work."
"Well we all have things we don't like to do for work, and we literally pay her a fortune to do her dream job, so I think she'll just have to deal with a bit of discomfort," Ochaco smirked, but stopped when she saw her husband's disapproving look. "What! I'm just making her earn her paycheck."

The sounds of swords clashing rang, as Stain and Swordsman's blades clashed on the rooftop close to the park.
Swordsman jumped back and activated his quirk, making his sword glow with a yellow light, before he slashed his sword through the air, unleashing a sword beam at Stain.
Stain jumped to the side and dodged the beam, however, Swordsman unleashed three more beams, covering all sides he could escape from.
Thinking outside the box, Stain backflipped off the building.
Swordsman stood on guard, deactivating his quirk as he prepared to defend himself. Knowing his opponent wouldn't have done such a thing thoughtlessly.
He expected that his opponent would come from behind or his sides.
What Swordsman did not expect was for a drill to burst from the ground below him, and cut his cheek, as it soared into the sky.
And then his opponent came at him from behind.
Swordsman barely reacted in time, bringing his blade up behind him to block Stain's sword, but due to the rushed nature in which he did this, it left his stance rather weak, and so Stain was able to kick him back, creating some distance between them.
And that was all Stain needed, as the drill from earlier came back down, and fell right into Stain's hand, with just a smidge of blood on it.
Stain took a lick of the drill, and the battle was over.
Swordsman's body shivered before it locked entirely. Not budging an inch. "What!? No! No! Move damn it!"
Stain smirked and raised his blade. "Sorry. But I have to take care of you friends next."
Swordsman could do nothing but look on in despair, as the hero killer approached him.

"Hey Eri, are you having fun!?" Izuku asked his daughter as they walked through the park, looking for the next ride.
Eri nodded very enthusiastically.
"How much fun?" Izuku asked her with a huge grin on his face.
Eri paused for a moment before she put her arms in the air and spread them apart. "This much."
"Wow." Izuku smiled at her, genuinely overjoyed that she was having fun.
"That's amazing Eri." Ochaco patted the small girl on the head.
Eri turned her head over to a particular ride. "What's that ride?"
Izuku and Ochaco looked at what Eri was referring to and blushed a bit when they realized that the ride she was referring to was Midnight's tunnel of love.
"Um...that's a ride for lovers to go on. Like me and your father." Ochaco told her.
"Because you're married?" Eri asked, tilting her head.
"That's right Eri," Ochaco confirmed
"Hmmm." Eri stopped to think about something. "Will I be married one day?"
Izuku opened his mouth, only for Ochaco to put her hand over his mouth. "If you want to honey if you find the right guy. And if mommy approves of him."
"What about daddy?" Eri asked her mother.
"If mommy approves of him, then daddy will too. Right. Izuku." Ochaco gave her husband a look that dictated if he disagreed with her here, then he'd be in the proverbial dog house.
Izuku looked away to hide his expression. "Yes, dear."
XXXXXXXXX
Three villains waited on a rooftop near the park where Izuku and Ochaco were located, sitting around, waiting for their time.
One of them was wearing a huge frog costume. One of them was a ten-foot-tall anthropomorphic Elephant man. And the last one Was in an orange and green costume.
"This is getting boring." The frogman aka LeapFrog said as he looked down at his phone. "When is Swordsman gonna hurry up and engage so we can do our job, and make sure the target doesn't escape?"
"Who knows. Pretentious bastards like him might just try to make an entrance first." The Elephant man, aka Mammomax said.
"You don't think something happened to him?" The man in the strange costume, aka the Trapper, asked.
"Don't be ridiculous if that happened the boss would have called the mission off." Leap Frog dismissed.
"Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that." The villains looked up at a nearby antenna and saw Stain perched atop it, holding Swordsman's blade.
The villains reacted immediately, with Trapper aiming up and shooting out a glue-like substance from his hands at Stain.
Stain jumped up and flipped in the air, dodging the glue blast, and throwing a knife at Trapper.
The knife's blade cut in the man's side and stabbed into the ground.
The blade then sucked the blood into the knife, bringing it into a special compartment in the handle, before the handle shot off away from the blade, back into the air, and into Stain's hand.
Stain landed behind Trapper and brought the knife's handle to his mouth, pressed a button, and the small amount of blood the knife drew went onto his tongue.
"Agh!" Trapper shouted, as his body suddenly froze. "What! No! I-"
Trapper didn't get to say another word, as Stain rushed him with his Katana and cut his head clean off.
"Holy shit!" Leap Frog shouted out in fear.
Mammomax decided to be brave, and charged at the hero killer, reaching him before taking a massive swing at him.
Stain pressed a button on his blade, and caused it to glow, before dodging to the right of Mammomax's punch, and sticking his sword right into his heart.
"Aghhhh. Howwww?" Was all Mammomax could say before he died.
Stain quickly pulled out his sword and moved further to the left, to avoid the dead villain's body toppling over onto him.
The hero killer then gave Leap Frog a menacing look, causing the villain to freeze in pure terror for a moment, before he turned the other way, and gave a mighty leap, jumping to the other building.
"Tch. Should have gone after him first." Stain chided himself before he went to pursue.
XXXXXXXXXXX
The sun went down as the Midoriyas day at the park seemingly ended.
Izuku and Ochaco were walking out of the park, with a very sleepy Eri in their arms.
"So. Best day ever?" Izuku asked his daughter.
"...No," Eri answered sleepily. "It was fun...but not the best."
Izuku raised an eyebrow. "Really? Then what was your best day?"
"...The day we saw the sun again," Eri told him.
A pang of sadness went through him, as he recalled that particular day when he escaped from Overhaul.
Even though he had escaped captivity that day, and that was probably one of the most important days of his life, he wouldn't count it as one of his happiest. Not with all the people he had killed.
He felt a hand on his shoulder, and looked to his left and saw Ochaco giving him a concerned look.
"I'm fine," Izuku told her, bringing himself back to the present. "I'm fine."
Suddenly, one of Izuku's guards ran up to him. "Sir, there is an issue."
Izuku gave the guard a serious look. "What happened?"
"There have been multiple villain sightings around the area. It's as if they were surrounding the park." The guard said, as more guards surrounded Izuku and his family. "They've probably come for you, sir. We need to get you out of here."
"What, how did they know we'd...no...I guess an amusement park owned by Izuku Midoriya being open on a day when it's normally closed would have tipped them off." Izuku grit his teeth in anger at the thought of villains coming after his family. "Damn it I was so happy about defeating Whiplash that I got careless, I didn't even have a suit on me."
"The suit requires a whole mechanism to put on. You couldn't have brought it here." Ochaco pointed out.
"...But maybe I could make a portable suit. It would be less powerful but...better than nothing." Izuku speculated. "Also from now on, we won't go out like this, without Chizome. He'd keep Eri safe."
XXXXXXXX
In an abandoned warehouse, Leap Frog stood up against a wall, talking frantically into a cell phone.
"It was him! I'm sure it was him!" Leap Frog shouted. "He killed them! He killed all of them! I only barely got away!"
"Hmmm. The hero killer...so he is the one who took down all my men." The boss said. "And you said that YOU escaped from him?"
"That's right!" Leap Frog said.
"Hmmm, stay on the phone for a minute." The boss said.
"Huh? What do you mean?!" Leap Frog asked, only to receive silence. "What? Boss!? Boss?! Wha-ACK!"
Leap Frog felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and he looked down to see a glowing blade coming through the wall, impaling him.
SLICE!
The blade traveled upwards, splitting the villain in two from the waist up.
"That's what I thought." The boss said as he heard his subordinate die horribly.
Chapter 17
"Izu…"
"Huh?"
"Izuku wa…"
"Nnnnn."
"Izuku wake up!"
"Huh!" Izuku jolted up and found that Ochaco was the one that had woken him up, and the worried look on her face immediately put Izuku on alert. "What happened?"
"Take a look." Ochaco turned on the T.V.
"Break news! The pro hero Froppy has been taken, hostage!" Said a newswoman. "The pro hero was ambushed by a group of villains and turned to stone by one of their quirks. She is now being held hostage, and the group is threatening to kill her, should Izuku Midoriya, outside his armor, not show himself within the next two hours. Should any pro be spotted too close to the area, they will kill Froppy."
Ochaco turned off the T.V. and looked at him with a fearful expression. "What are we going to do?"
Izuku thought for a moment. "Where are they, and how long will take me to get there in a car."
"The docs, and about an hour," Ochaco answered. "Why?"
"Well, then I have an hour to finish up my latest armor," Izuku said as he got up and started running towards his lab.
"They'll kill her if they see you in armor." Ochaco pointed out as she ran beside him.
"I know, and that's why they won't see the armor," Izuku told her. "Not until it's too late."
XXXXXXXXXXX
"We have ten minutes left before the villains are said to kill pro hero Froppy." Said a reporter to her camera crew. "We are at the city docs, where a small crowd has formed behind police lines, as the city worriedly waits to see if someone will come to the rescue, or if Izuku Midoriya will actually show up to...wait! I think that's him!"
Behind the crowd, a limousine rolled up, stopping a good distance behind everyone, and immediately gaining the attention of all present.
The back door open, and Izuku stepped out, wearing a black business suit, and bearing a serious expression.
Izuku started walking towards the police line, and he made it a few steps before the press started to swarm him.
"Mr. Midoriya are you seriously coming to face the villains without your armor?!"
"Mr. Midoriya do you intend to try and bribe the villains!?"
"Mr. Midoriya do you know what these villains want with you?!"
"Move," Izuku said simply, yet firmly. "Or else it's your jobs on the line."
Almost immediately everyone moved back, although many were surprised by this action coming from Izuku, given how he's acted in public before.
Izuku approached the police line and went right under it.
"Sir you can't be here." Said one of the officers, getting in front of him.
"And you going to stop me?" Izuku asked, looking far more intimidating than the officer first expected.
"Uh...yes. That's my job sir." The officer answered nervously.
"So if you didn't have this job anymore then you wouldn't be in my way." Izuku threatened.
"I…" The officer froze, not sure how to respond to that.
"That was your one warning. Don't get in my way." Izuku said, moving around the officer, and no one tried to stop him.
XXXXXXXXXXX
Izuku made his way outback, behind the warehouse, and into the shipyard, where he saw four villains waiting for him.
One was a guy who clearly had a fire-based quirk, as his orange and red costume, with fire details gave that away instantly. There was also a fist emblem on the center of the suit for some reason.
The next one was a rather large man, who was quite exposed, only wearing a pair of gold shorts.
After that, there was a man who was just as large, but he was wearing a pair of boots that looked rather tech-based.
Lastly, there was a man who looked to be made of stone and was most likely the one who turned Asui to stone. He had on some purple gloves and boots, but the most notable thing about him was the purple wing pack on his back.
And in the center of them was Asui, turned to stone in a pose that indicated she'd been struggling against the stone villain before he got her.
"Finally! Izuku Midoriya." The fire villain smirked. "And here I thought you were just going to let Froppy here, croak."
"I wouldn't even think about it," Izuku said, glaring instantly at them. "Now what do you want? Is it money? Technology?"
"No, nothing like that." The grey man said.
Suddenly the fire villain aimed his palm at Izuku. "We just want you gone!"
Just as the villain ignited his fist, Izuku brought his hand to his chest and pressed down.
BOOM!
The fire villain shot out a huge blast of fire at Izuku, the engulfed him completely.
Once the fire died down, there was a massive amount of smoke, blocking the villain's line of sight, although they didn't care all too much, as far they were concerned, they'd already won.
Oh, how wrong they were.
Suddenly, Izuku, in his armor, flew out of the smoke, and grabbed Asui, before carrying her into the air.
"All systems operational! The Mark 4, Mobile Armor is ready for use." Jarvis said.
The mobile armor. After what happened at the amusement park, Izuku decided it was best, to always have armor on hand. As such, the mobile armor was created.
With the ability to either becoming a suitcase or in this case, being worn on Izuku's chest before expanding to the rest of his body, this thing could be taken pretty much anywhere.
Of course, there were plenty of downsides to this suit. After all, he didn't have a whole mechanism to put on his suit back at home for nothing.
This suit had to be made a lot of different, and often case, worse materials than his standard Iron Man suit. Meaning it was significantly weaker, slower, less durable than his standard suit. And the only weapons it had were its strength, the repulsor beams, and the Unibeam.
It was an armor only meant to be used in emergency cases, where using his regular armor at home wasn't an option.
"Sir, I have done an analysis on all four of the villains," Jarvis told him. "The villains are Firebrand, Grey Gargoyle, Arsenal, and Titanium Man. All of them are classified as B-class villains."
"So nothing like Whiplash then," Izuku said. "Good. Alright, first priority is putting Asui somewhere safe, without getting too far away from the villains. I can't let them escape. But where...ah. Yeah, that'll do."
Izuku then promptly threw Asui directly into the sea.
"Shit we just lost our hostage!" Firebrand cursed, before aiming his gauntlet-covered hands at Izuku. "Everyone kill him now before the heroes show up!"
Firebrand started shooting fire at Izuku, while suddenly weapons like rocket launches, Bazookas, and Laser canons came out of his body, and shot out rockets and lasers at Izuku, and Grey Gargoyle took to the sky with his wing pack and charged at Izuku.
Izuku started dodging all the things being shot at him, with Grey Gargoyle chasing behind him.
"Sir, all the technology being used originates from Midoriya Industries," Jarvis told him.
"Yeah, I figured," Izuku growled.
Izuku turned and shot two repulsor blasts at Gary Gargoyle.
In response, Gray Gargoyle blocked both blasts with his wings, before continuing to chase him.
"Agh." Izuku groaned, lamenting the weaker repulser blast this suit had. But hey it was either that or reduce the power efficiency. "Jarvis, analyze his wings for a weak-gah!"
BOOM!
As Izuku was flying he got blasted by one of the rockets and sent hurtling to the ground.
CRASH!
"Ohhhh." Izuku groaned, as he quickly pulled himself onto his knees.
FWOOSH!
"AGH!" Izuku grit his teeth, as Firebrand blasted him with fire.
His armor protected him for the most part, but he could still feel the intense heat of Firebrand's quirk, combined with his enhancer gauntlets.
"This armor can not take continued contact with this level of heat for much longer," Jarvis told him.
"Got it." Izuku fired off his thrusters, and dashed out of the path of the fire, before shooting off repulsor blasts at Arsenal and Firebrand.
Only for Titanium Man to step out in front of them, and turn his body into metal and tanking the blast.
"Tch. Damn it." Izuku silently swore.
"Above you sir!" Jarvis said urgently. "Grey Gargoyle Incoming!"
Izuku didn't even bother to look, instead, he just reacted, using his thrusters to blast him backward, as Grey Gargoyle came down, missing Izuku entirely.
The armored hero flew over the water, taking another look at his opponents.
"Sir, Titanium Man has the ability to turn into an extremely durable metal. However, it appears that he is unable to move while doing so." Jarvis analyzed. "Use this information as you will."
"Alright," Izuku said as Arsenal launched more rockets at Izuku, which Izuku flew up to avoid.
However, the rockets started flying up with him.
"Tracking rockets. Great." Izuku was more upset that they were tracking him with HIS tech than about the tracking itself. He flew through the air, outpacing the rockets, however, he saw Grey Gargoyle approaching him from the side.
And then he got an idea.
"This is MY tech," Izuku said. "And I'M gonna be the one to use it! Jarvis increase the thruster speed!"
Immediately Izuku blasted off, now moving at twice the speed, he did before, rocketing upwards, as the rockets followed him from a distance, although Grey Garyole was left in the metaphorical dust.
Izuku went upwards, going up a good distance, allowing the rockets to get closer, before diving back down.
Right on top of Grey Gargoyle, with the missiles in tow.
Once Grey Gargoyle was in sight, Izuku knew it was the time. "Put even more power into the thrusters!"
VROOM!
Izuku boosted even faster, rocketing past Grey Gargoyle, so fast that the villain froze up in terror.
And that was his mistake, as now Izuku was out of the missiles tracking range, and they were now just going in a set direction.
That direction being right at Grey Gargoyle.
KABOOM!
The rockets hit Grey Gargoyle, creating a huge explosion, which sent the villain plummeting unconscious to the ground.
"Shit he took out Gargoyle!" Firebrand shouted. "Everyone stay together. Arsenal unleash hell!"
More weapons came out of Arsenals body, and he blasted more rockets and lasers out, as Firebrand unleashed even more fire.
Izuku dodged everything that he could, repluser blasting some of the missiles that came too close to him.
He also unleashed a few blasts towards the villains, however, Titanium Man would act as a human shield, and stop whatever attacks came towards them.
"How much power do we have?" Izuku asked.
"We are at 71%" Jarvis answered.
"Run an analysis on Titanium Man, how much does he weigh in metal form, and how tough is he?" Izuku asked.
"Already done sir. While this suit does have the capabilities to lift or damage him in his metal form, doing so would quickly drain the power of this suit, and leave you valuable to the other villains." Jarvis told him. "Finding another solution is advisable."
"Alright, well he can't move…" Izuku thought deeply about this while dodging and blasting the attacks being sent at him, and looking over the battlefield. In particular, the nearby sea. "If I could just get him close to the water."
Izuku quickly formulated a plan, and then landed on the ground, a few yards away from the villains. "Hey! Rip off Tetsutetsu!"
"Huh!?" Titanium Man instantly became enraged. Looks like he touched a nerve. "Why the fuck do people keep calling me that!?"
"Hey, it's your own fault for being the dollar store version of a hero who's already a rip-off of a better hero!" Izuku silently apologized to Tetsutetsu. "That's like rip squared! How pathetic can you be!? You can't even attack!"
"Why you little!" Titanium Man charged towards Izuku, blinded by rage, unable to see how bad of an idea this was.
"No, you idiot come back here!" Firebrand cried out.
But Titanium Man ignored him, charging towards Izuku, approaching him, before coating his fist in his metal, and punching down at him.
He never stood a chance.
Izuku dashed between his legs, and jumped at his back, drop-kicking his exposed back, using his thrusters to push him away.
Titanium Man was sent flying right into the water.
SPLASH!
"Agh!" Titanium Man wildly flailed around in the water. "What the hell!"
Izuku raised his arm to fire another blast, however, Titanium Man saw this, and turned to metal once again, causing him to quickly sink into the water.
"Well, looks like he's gonna be in there for a bit," Izuku said, before turning to the remaining two villains, who looked at him with eyes full of fear. "Now it's time to take care of you two."
Firebrand looked at Izuku, and then at Arsenal.
Then the flame-wielding villain went behind Arsenal and blasted him in the head with fire.
"AGH!" Arsenal immediately went unconscious from the heat, and started to fall forward, only for Firebrand to grab him, and hold his hand to his head.
"Don't come closer!" Firebrand said, threatening Arsenal. "Your one of those goody-two-shoes! Right!? Could you really live with yourself if you got a man killed!? Even him!?"
Izuku grit his teeth. "Coward."
"Maybe! But I'm a coward that'll be the one to escape!" Firebrand said as she started moving away, trying to escape with his hostage in his arm.
"Jarvis. What do I do here." Izuku asked his A.I.
"There is no need to worry about that sir," Jarvis told him. "May I remind you that you are not the only crime-fighter here?"
THWACK!
Suddenly, Tsu decamoflaged, appearing right next to Firebrand, and kicking him in the face, with her extremely powerful legs.
"AGHHHHHHHH!" Firebrand was sent flying a few dozen yards away, smashing into some storage crates, and laying there unconscious.
"Oh. I guess when Grey Gargoyle was taken out, she must have been turned back to normal." Izuku realized.
"Indeed. It appears she also took care of Titanium Man." Jarvis told him. "Take a look to your left."
Izuku looked to his left and saw Titanium Man hanging on a crane, over the water.
"Oh, thanks, Tsu!" Izuku called out to the rainy season hero.
"I think I should be thanking you, Kero," Tsu told him. "Looks like you got into some trouble, because of my mistake. Sorry about that."
"It's fine. I've made more embarrassing mistakes." Izuku told her. "Are alright? I can imagine waking underwater could be a bit jarring."
"It was, but grasped what was happening pretty quickly," Tsu said. "Now I think we should wrap this up, Kero. You can tell me what happened later."
"Right, let's get these guys in restraints," Izuku said.
