She turned her attention to the random outburst from across the street. Her eyes narrowed confused with pursed lips. "Hey now, isn't it that cashier from the bookstore?"

Izuku was standing dumbstruck.

The person floating in the air, either ignored or didn't hear Izuku. He had a firm smile always plastered on his face. "Oi, Utsushimi just come back willingly and I'm sure we can work something out."

The blonde turned her attention back to the enforcer. Her eyelids lifted with a playful smirk. "Sorry, Inasa." She twinkled her fingers with a feign apology wave.

"Then I have no choice, it was nice being partners while it lasted." He raised his arm up high and air began to swirl around his palm. The surrounding area suddenly grew windy, centering around him.

Izuku's eyes filled with dread. His heart was pumping faster and faster while everything around him began to slow. His body didn't want to listen to him.

"Compression shot!" Inasa hurled the built-up air pressure straight to her.

Izuku paled seeing the force about to collide with her. He couldn't react until their eyes met. It was only for a moment but that was enough. Because no matter how calm and spunky she was acting he could see it in her eyes.

Without thinking his body reacted. Full cowling five percent! Lightning crackled on the ground where he once stood, having vanished with a burst of speed.

The air pressure exploded on impact with a huge backlash of debris.

She had squeezed her eyes shut at the last moment in fear, she was too tired to dodge it. The wind erupted around her but the direct force never came.

Instead, it was a warm sensation that swept her away, piercing through the explosion. She hesitantly opened one eye, taking a peek, she opened both wide with a gasp, seeing him. He was emitting lightning and she figured that's what gave her the tingling feeling when he saved her. He was carrying her bridal style, while planting his feet on a wall of a street building, running up it. She stared at his focused eyes, they were sparking with resolve and vivid intensity. He was completely different from earlier today.

"For real? You're using your quirk?" She was shocked he was using it so willingly too.

Izuku didn't reply with words, he simply held her a little tighter, making sure she was secure.

Inasa used his coat to protect himself from the smoke, he wasn't able to see clearly but he was sure it was a direct hit.

"Bye, bye." She waved over Izuku's shoulder as they escaped up a skyscraper.

Inasa's eyes grew hearing her voice. "What, from where?!" He used his quirk to clear the settling dust. He snapped his head in all directions until he saw a speeding bolt reaching a rooftop and it was carrying her. He surrounded himself with wind and gave chase.

They landed on the roof and Izuku placed her on her feet. "Holy crap, what am I doing? I just became an accomplice. The counter quirk agency is going to find me! My life is over!" He cringed with bulging eyes.

She tilted her head, confused at his demeanor before giggling. "Well, looks like you have no choice in helping me escape, ne?" With a sly smirk. "Cause I'm the only one who can help you." She playfully sang.

"Eh? Wh-Who are you?"

"Here, hide your face." She ignored his question. She stepped into his personal space, her bust grazed his chest giving him an uncomfortable feeling but she didn't seem to mind their closeness. She reached with her hands, grabbing the hood of his sweater from both sides, and placing it on him, staring up at his face, sharing eye contact. "C'mon, let's go." She grabbed his wrist, dragging him along. "And it's Camie, by the way."

"W-Wait, what are we gonna do?"

She held her free hand up to her lips and blew, letting out a pink smoke before it became an illusion.

"Y-You have a quirk too?"

"Now we're, totes, stuck together." She laughed.

Izuku looked behind to see what she had created. It was a fake wall hiding them from view as they approached the ledge of the building.

"Inasa is strong but he's a dense guy."

"Oi, Utsushimi where'd you go?!" He called out. He tapped his index finger to his forehead, thinking. A light bulb went off in his head. "I bet she used her quirk. If that's the case, I'll just clear up this whole roof." Gathering wind.

"Get ready to jump across to the next building." Camie told him, as they ran to the edge. The building next to them had a sliding slant and was shorter than the one they were on.

"Show yourself!" Inasa roared as he threw out an unrelenting wind force throughout the roof, easily dispersing the fake wall, hiding them.

"Jump!"

They lept off, catching the wind for momentum. Camie soared across elegantly twirling her body with the flow of the wind.

Izuku's body was flipped. He tried to correct himself, his eyes widened seeing the enforcer beginning to fly after them. 'Calm down, Izuku..! Get hold of your senses!'

He was suspended in air and upside down, he extended his arm holding his wrist as if aiming, he curled his middle finger under his thumb like a trigger. He had one eye closed and slowed his breathing, lining up his sight picture. He got a lock. His middle finger glowed as he increased his power output to thirty percent in that moment and flicked his finger, firing an air bullet. He gritted his teeth holding back the cry of pain, as his finger bruised, not able to withstand its own force. 'I knew thirty percent was pushing it, but I didn't break my finger!'

"Gwah!" The blow collided into Inasa, spiraling his momentum downward and incapacitating him momentarily as he fell in between the building, hitting a wall with a thud.

Izuku crashed with a roll, sliding down the slope of the building until he eventually stopped at the even ground. Camie easily planted her feet, landing like a cat. She hastily ran down the slope, checking on him. "Are you alright?" He nodded as he got up, holding the bruised finger he used. "But that was pretty cool, what kind of quirk do you have?"

"It's called Plus Ultra, it gives me the ability to go beyond."

"To go beyond? I don't really get it, but it sounds pretty amazing." She laughed at her own ditzy nature. She blew out some pink dust again. "My quirk is called Glamour and it lets me create illusions."

"That's actually pretty cool. Ah, I wish I had my notebook. W-Wait, this isn't the time for that. We need to get out of here."

"Ah, follow me, I have a safe house nearby."

"S-Safe house?"

She took a few skips, then a quick step on to the edge, hopping to the nearest building. Izuku followed with a jog before jumping across, landing next to her. The could hear Inasa yelling as he recovered from the air bullet, coughing out at times.

"We need to hurry, just get on my back and give me directions as we go." Izuku kneeled down, in front of her. Camie looked back at Inasa's direction, he had just appeared over the building, spotting them as well. She turned back to Midoriya and got on his back. "Just start heading to the bookstore and I'll guide you from there."

"Got it." Before Izuku stood, he focused his quirk. 'I can control five percent as my base form, I have to try to increase it right here.' He gritted his teeth. "Full cowling... Eight percent..!" He couldn't risk putting his body at ten percent yet, and forcibly maintained eight percent. "Let's go!"

Inasa was about to reach them until they disappeared in the wake of a lightning bolt. The whiplash force halted Inasa. He covered his face from debris. "He's fast! I've never heard of a speed type quirk with long rage abilities as well, he's probably an unregistered, even more of a case to take them in!" He trailed the traces of lightning throughout the city. "He has more agility but I have the velocity."

Izuku was zigzagging across the skyscrapers while Inasa followed in a straight path. Izuku darted around a corner, into an alley between the skyscrapers. Inasa was forced to slow down as he tried to turn to follow. Izuku was running off wall to wall, hopping around like a static rabbit. Inasa was beginning to form a scowl. He chased after them, gathering up air in his hand. Izuku skidded, landing on a train track bridge that went around the city. Inasa eventually caught up, flying next to the train tracks Izuku was running on. Inasa increased his speed, flying ahead of him on the tracks, turning to face him. He thrusted forward the hand with built-up air. "Compression shot!"

Camie squeezed her arms around his neck. "It's at point-blank range!"

In a blitz, Izuku side stuttered stepped juked, shifting his momentum narrowly away from the air tunnel and bursting past the explosion radius.

"What?!" Inasa was caught in his own attack as Izuku sped right past him. Inasa was hurled into the sky, but he caught himself with his quirk. Izuku felt his bones cracking, his body, dropping to seven percent. He pushed forward sprinting on the tracks before lunging to the farthest skyscraper he could reach. Izuku looked back, Inasa was still after them.

'This is bad, I have to use the buildings to move while he can fly, come on Izuku, think! My body is about to drop to six percent... Come on!'

"Watch out!" Izuku heard at the last second, seeing a ball of air headed straight for him. His foot slipped on the wall right as he kicked off, not giving him as much distance, the ball of air hit the wall expanding into a large pocket of force, knocking Izuku off his course. "Agh!" As they began to plummet to the city street.

"I got you now." Inasa lifted his hand and clutched it shut as if capturing them. The wind followed his command and swept them up, holding them in mid-air.

"This is bad, this is really bad!" Izuku was glancing all around for an escape. 'Not like this, my life can't be over like this..!'

As Inasa closed in, Izuku's brain process went into overdrive. 'I have to find a way. I'll find it!' But his mind also wanted to reminiscence those two memories.

It was late and they were closing up shop. She was putting books away, hugging them to her chest. She was placing one on a shelf that was a little too high up, she extended too far and the rest of the books flopped out of her grip. She bent down to pick them up. He went to help her. When it was left to the last book he placed his hand to get it but she placed hers over his, stopping either of them from finishing.

"Once it's over, we close..." She whispered, her eyes staring directly into his.

Staying in that moment with her.

She was playing a melody on her piano. He was making a delivery like every other day but this time she was found in the music room, playing her piano. And he never would forget the image of the gray breaking sunset piercing through the window wall, radiating her serene sorrow.

"Oh, Midoriya..! Do you mind joining me." She had that everlasting smile.

And they sat together as she played her music. After she finished she rested her head on his shoulder. Enough time had passed and Izuku decided to stand or at least attempt. She grabbed his shirt collar, tugging him back down, he turned to her and she was staring up into his eyes with an onyx twinkle in her own eyes. "Maybe for today... Just a little longer?"

Staying in that moment with her.

Izuku squeezed his eyes shut in frustration, scared he wouldn't spend time with either of them again. "I never even got my first kiss!" He cried out.

"Thanks for trying but I guess this is it."

Izuku snapped his eyes. He wasn't doing this for himself. He was helping someone. 'Is that why I have my quirk? To help people. The only times my quirk has decided to activate on its own is when... That means..!' The realization came as his eyes widened vividly with intense focus, crackling out emerald electricity. He reeled his arm back, it began to glow as his power output skyrocketed. "It's not over!"

One-hundred percent.

The force blasted out in all directions, shattering the imminent windows. Inasa couldn't resist and was blown away, smashing into a building. The cars below them all honked their alarms. The light posts began to haywire along with the street lights.

Izuku and Camie were propelled to the sky. They were holding each other tight with their eyes shut. Their momentum began to fade as they slowed, reaching a peak. Izuku dared to open his eyes. His lips parted, mesmerized by it.

"It's... beautiful." His breath came out condensed with awe.

Camie was clutching his neck with fear until she heard his words. She slowly opened them but at the sight, they were fully wide. "A... Amazing!" Her grip freed from him and she began to immerse herself in the sky.

They were above the clouds and seeing the marvelous night sky for the first time with their very own eyes. The gray blanket of nothing below them seemingly separated them from the world below. Izuku had seen pictures of space but he never knew how surreal it could be seeing the moon and stars illuminated across the sky.

Both of them basking under the glow of the milky way.

The two began to free fall. She reached out, cupping his cheeks with her hands. His eyes refocused from the shine in the sky to the shine in her orbs as she fell timelessly with him. She tilted her head before pulling his face to hers, pressing their mouths together.

Their lips embraced under the constellations and above the clouds.

She pulled away with a smirk staring at his bewildered expression. "You said you never kissed a girl, right?" She giggled. His eyes grew enamored as the moonlight added to her joyful smile, radiating her lunar laugh.

Staying in the moment with her.
