Mikoto and Iida were far from the others as they both sat down near a table.

Some people who walked by seem to recognize them from U.A but didn't say anything...

Although there were some whispers.

Mikoto: So...what did you want to talk about...

Iida stayed quiet for a moment, as he looked down at the table, a flash appeared on his glasses shielding his eyes from meeting Mikoto's.

Mikoto grew a little concerned.

Mikoto: Tenya...

At the sound of his first name, Iida looked up to see Mikoto giving him a small smile.

Mikoto: It's okay if you don't want to-?!

Iida: I'M SORRY!

Mikoto: E-Eh?!

Iida: Yukimura-kun! I am truly sorry!

Mikoto: W-What are you saying sorry for...

Iida manage to calm down before regaining his composure a bit.

Iida: I...wanted to apologise for my actions back at the internship.

Mikoto:.....

Iida: I...was so foolish... because of my actions, many people had suffer...even you...who suffered the most out of everyone that was there. Because of me...you, Midoriya-kun, and Todoroki-kun had to fight Stain. You almost lost your life twice because of me! I'm so so so sorry...I just...wanted to help my brother...

Mikoto stayed quiet as he watched the taller teen cried...it made Mikoto's stomach twist with guilt.

That night, Mikoto was angry at Iida for endangering but now he can't help but feel sorry for him. I mean after all,  even though his brother survived the hero killer...but his career is over. Now he has to spend the rest of life in a wheelchair and Iida has to take on the role of Ingenium.

Mikoto: Tenya...Please...look at me...

Iida looks up at him and Mikoto pulls him into a hug.

Mikoto: I...well...just go ahead and cry...I'm here.

And that's exactly what Iida did...he cried on Mikoto's shoulder quietly telling him how sorry he was or how it was his fault that all of this happened.

Iida: *Sobs* Sorry...I'm sorry...Brother...Brother...he's...

Mikoto: I know...just be thankful...that he's still alive and breathing. That's all that truly matters...

Iida nodded. After a while of crying, he pulled himself together.

Iida: T-Thank you Yukimura-kun...I needed that...I'm so sorry.

Mikoto: Please...Stop apologizing... Everyone's okay now and no one blames you. I shouldn't act hypocritical about this...Anyone would've done the same if they were in your shoes. Souta would if it was his brother. Sylvia would if it was her father. Shouto would if it was his siblings...his mother...Me....I also...would have done it if it was Izuku...or my parents...

Iida: I see...

Mikoto: Iida...for now on...You don't have to suffer anymore...let Izuku, Uraraka, and everyone else in Class
1-A help you. So remember, we are all in this together.

Iida: Yes...You're right. You really are inspirational, Yukimura-kun! Truly a better hero than I am.

Mikoto: Oh please stop degrading yourself...You're starting to sound like Izuku...

Iida: I supposed that's true...

Mikoto: Iida...when I first met you, I thought you was a jerk... Especially to Izuku. Remember, back at the practical exam?

Iida jolted a little. Right, how could he forget that. He made Midoriya-kun looked like a fool in front of everyone and accused him of sabotage and not taking anything seriously. He truly felt guilty for calling him out like that.

Iida: Yes I do...And I'm truly am a jerk...I should think before I act sometime...

Mikoto: No... You're not a jerk...maybe a bit of an asshole.

Iida: *Gasp* Language!

Mikoto: Hahahaha! Okay! Okay! But... seriously, Iida...you maybe a bit of a jerk. But you're different from what I expected. You're smart, serious all the time, but you're really funny. I mean seriously! What's with the hand chopping movements?! Are you a robot.

Iida: *Hand movements* No! I can assure you I'm not!

Mikoto: You act like one~!

Iida: Seriously?! You and my brother sometimes! He said I acted like one too! I don't understand how both of you can compare me to a robot!

Mikoto: You speak and act like one~!

Iida: *Pouts*

Mikoto: As I was saying...You want to fight for your friends and your brother. But you're scared of looking like a coward because all your quirk does is help you run super fast. From the festival, I noticed how much you struggled to win. You want to help people, not run away. Whether you think your not better than anyone or not. Your heart is in the right place Iida...and like my classmates, I'm happy that you're one of my greatest friends. You'll be a great hero, Iida. I just know it!

Iida stayed quiet trying to muster up all that had been said before smiling from the praise.

Iida:.... Yukimura-kun...I'm touched. I so glad you have forgiven me...even after all I done...I'm so grateful that you given me another chance...I am forever in your debt. I won't fail you! I will work harder than I ever done before and become a great hero. Someone that inspires people like you and Midoriya-kun do.

Mikoto: That's the spirit!

Iida: Please...if you need anything. Don't hesitate to ask.

Mikoto: Oh I won't...Just make sure you keep on eye on Izuku for me. He's a villain magnet. It's like everywhere he goes, trouble will follow.

Iida:... It's not a promise, but I will try my best! After all, you, Uraraka-san, Todoroki-kun, Asui-san, Midoriya-kun and everyone else are my best friends!

Mikoto: *Smiles* I'm glad we are.

-Later-

Mikoto had left Iida to give him time to be alone and walked over the spot where he left Izuku and Uraraka...

But he couldn't find them...

Mikoto: Where are they?

???: Waaaah! Miichan!

Mikoto turned his head to see Uraraka.

Mikoto: Uraraka? What's wrong?

Uraraka: H-Have you seen Deku anywhere...I can't find him!

Mikoto's eyes went wide.

Mikoto: W-What do you mean you can't find him. Wasn't he with you?!

Uraraka: I-I went to the bathroom to cool my head for a few minutes...but when I got back...He was gone!

Mikoto: O-Okay. Let's not panic. He probably went to go look at some All Might Merchandise.

???: Yukimura-kun...

Mikoto turned his head to see Hein and Lilac nearby.

Mikoto: Ah. Hein-chan. Lilac-chan... What's wrong...?

Lilac looks at her girlfriend for a moment and asked.

Lilac: Should I tell him?

Hein: You sure you don't want me too.

Lilac nodded as Hein gave her permission.

Mikoto: *Raised an eyebrow*

Lilac: Mikoto-kun! We need to get the others back together. Hein had just sensed something terribly wrong.

Mikoto didn't like the sound of that and Uraraka looked alarmed at the news.

Mikoto: What is it? What's going on?!

Uraraka:.....

Hein:....

Lilac stayed quiet for a moment before speaking. The next few words brought the horrible feeling back to the young heroes.

Lilac: ...A villain is here at the mall...

-OMAKE-

Before the incident...

Luna: Hey Zoe, how does this perfume smell on me~?

Zoe: Hmm...?

Luna: Come on, smell me.

Zoe went up to Luna and sniffed the fragrance.

Zoe: Your armpits smell like aquamarine with a hint of freshness.

Luna: Cool~! Thanks! Mio, you're next.

Mio: Eh? Okay...

Zoe: *Sniffs*...You smell like paint.

Mio: Oh...

Destiny: Hey! What about me?! How do my armpit smell? I bet I don't stink~!

Zoe: *Sniffs*....

Zoe's face turns purple in disgust.

Zoe: APOCRINE SWEAT GLANDS!!!!!

Destiny: Eh...?

Luna/Mio: *Laughing in the corner*
