Eve point of view

Art the guy every superhero goes to for costumes whether it's a rookie looking for their first costume or 20 year superhero veteran just needing a patch job or is the guy you go to

I don't know how he first got started, but he's a master at this craft. I don't know how he does it. He does prom dresses by day and by night creates super suits for superheroes he's also a really good guy.

It's been awhile since I've been to art, partly because I don't really need to get my costume fixed. I can just use my powers to fix it myself or make a new one so there wasn't really much use going to a tailor.

Art: so you want the new boy... I thought you'd be taller?

Izuku chuckled: you know I actually get that a lot I think it's mostly just due to the fact that I jump around a lot

Art: well I have good news for you. Cecil already sent me your measurements and I think I have something to improve your lo-

Izuku stop him: I appreciate it but honestly I'm not looking for iconic. I just want my superhero costume back in one piece... And if you could could you

Art seemed confused: really? That's what everyone wants iconic something a symbol for kids to draw in the margins of their textbooks while they daydream about being as cool as you... You don't want that

He rubs the back of his head: yeah... It's just not my cup of tea I want what's practical not what looks good and I'm comfortable with my costume plus... It was kind of a gift from my mom so I don't really wanna lose that

Art seeming to understand: well I can't argue with sentimentality... I can fix it up but at the very least let me increase the density of the material it should make it your costume lighter and tougher that way you won't be tearing up so easily and as for your metal gauntlets I've already fixed them and I've made them a bit more adorable you should theoretically be able to block an attack from Omni man

I cross my arms as I raise an eyebrow: theoretically?

Art chuckles: well I didn't have a chance to test them... It was Cecil's recommendation

Well, I get that izuku is strong but what exactly does Cecil expect him to go up against... Omni man?

Izuku: thanks... Is there any other improvements you could make to my suit? I would appreciate it. Just don't change the design and please don't change the cape.

Art: sure thing kid I'll get to work on it right away you shouldn't take me too long. Maybe you should go to the coffee shop across the street and come back in an hour or so. Your new suit should be ready by then.

Izuku: thank you I really appreciate it

The two of us then leave and do exactly what our suggested go over to the coffee shop we said that we were gonna hang out might as well start now while we're waiting for his super suit to be finished

We get a table by the window it's starting to get dark. So there aren't that many people in the coffee shop which is good I guess since I wanna ask him some questions.

I start with: so why exactly don't you want something more iconic?

Izuku taking a sip from his coffee: because it doesn't save lives if there's one thing that my homeroom teacher at UA taught me is that how you look doesn't help much you need to think about what's practical and functional not what's gonna make you look good besides... By the looks of it in your world iconic means walking around with a giant symbol on your chest or a giant letter that's not exactly... Fashionable in my world

Oh, that's interesting: you're telling me that no superhero has like the letter that starts their name in the centre of the chest or symbol like mine

He twiddle his thumbs for a minute: well technically there are some it's just... Well and I mean this and no disrespect to you but... When a superhero dresses like that where I'm from it just kinda makes them look... Stupid and in my opinion it's like asking to get shot

I raise an eyebrow. I'm not offended by what he said: why do you think it's like asking to get shot?

Izuku: well to me it just seems like you're having a bull's-eye in the centre of your chest that's just begging to be shocked if that's actually what happened to most superheroes back when that was fashionable in my world they got shot in the chest right in the symbol because it was what the gunners first aimed for besides all the best superheroes in my world they don't have the symbol in the centre of the chest or a letter either they have something else that makes them iconic... Whether it's their attitude there unique style or just how that power makes them look they have iconic in a different way

I guess that makes sense and now I feel the sudden urge to redesign my costume because I'm realising that the amount of times I've almost been shot in the chest and probably as a result of me wearing a symbol in the centre of it maybe I could just change it to my arm or something

I'll think about that later. I'm still curious about a couple of things.: when you say other heroes, what are they like?

He then goes on to tell me about the different type of superheroes there are like endeavor, Hawks, Cobbly woods, Mount lady, midnight, eraser head and surprisingly a superhero that is apparently a dishwasher

I cannot believe what he just said: hold on hold on you're telling me that one of your top 10 heroes is a dishwasher

He nods and I still can't believe it: yeah your reaction isn't unwarranted. Honestly people from my world had the same feelings when he first got onto the top 10 list.

Well, if that's not iconic and its own way, I don't know what is seems a bit ridiculous but it's still in its own way iconic: it's still hard to believe a world that was overflowing with superheroes is in danger collapsing all over the actions of one man

Izuku expression changed from happy to slightly sad: it's not their fault that this happened it's everyone's fault I guess including mine when my mentor first took the stage he took the world by storm he saved people in record time did things that some people were impossible saved countless lives but along the way we forgot he was human and only one person seriously tried to surpass him. Everyone else just stood back and cheered him on thinking whatever happens all might will take care of it

That is a very toxic way of thinking and forgetting that someone's human just because of their powers that's definitely a lot but still it doesn't justify how his world got so bad is how he's describing it

I still don't completely understand: but I just don't get it. Your world has 80% of its population having superpowers right and it was overflowing with heroes. How could it have gotten so bad? Where did the other heroes go?

Izuku: they just... They had enough

My eyes widen as I realise what he said: so wait they just quit the world needed them and they just threw in the towel

Izuku: it's not that simple Eve, everyone has limits even me even you and I'm sure Omni man has as well the truth is a lot of people that were heroes in my world. They weren't exactly heroes for... Justice they were interested in becoming rich and famous and as bad as a sound that worked so long as someone was protecting the peace, no one cared what their motivation was whether it was to get money or famous it didn't matter but when something really bad hit when it hit really hard

I nod: they just couldn't take it anymore could they?

Now I think about it there have been times when I thought about just throwing in the towel. I mean the world gets darker and darker every day especially now with the guardians gone. And some days where someone leaves a bad comment about me on the Internet as my alter ego and I just wanna scream and say screw it I'm not doing this anymore.

Izuku: it's exactly what happened to death arms but it was more harsh for him... In the raid against the paranormal liberation front he lost he lost a lot of friends and his sidekick which was like a son to him. He even dressed like him and then people started screaming at him telling him that it was his fault that all those people died and that he shouldn't even try anymore he just couldn't take it anymore the worst part is he told himself that he wasn't a real hero. He was just a man.

God, I can't imagine that I mean sure I slightly wish for Rex and Kate's death now but if that happened before I found them in bathroom together if someone had taken them from me and then told me it was my fault I don't know how I would feel

Which makes me wonder: izuku you said you had a limit so do you think you're coming close to it?

Izuku shrugged: I don't know you don't know until you reach it, I will say I've had to deal with... Difficult times in my life and people have often told me to give up before I even started being a hero still it was mentally taxing when people would scream at me and throw garbage at me telling me to just go away but you know something coming here it's kind of rejuvenated me in a way I mean sure it's been... For lack of a better word terrifying and difficult to adjust but the people here... They don't blame me for what happened they say I did what I could and I still feel guilty about all those people that died during the invasion but the fact that so many people tell me that I did my best helps me get on with my day and helps me keep one foot in front of the other

That's a nice way of thinking about it sure there are the occasional people that say we don't do enough and yes one bad comment can overcome 1000 chairs but sometimes you just gotta keep going

Izuku: eve listen we've been talking about me a lot and my problems I just wanna ask how are you doing with... Your problems?

I don't really wanna talk about it, but it's sweet of him to ask: truthfully I don't know... I'm angry with Rex and Kate mostly with Rex because he thought... But just because I was hanging out with you more that gave him an excuse to... well you know, but I'm angry with Kate as well. I mean, we were best friends in what world is it okay to... do something like that with your friends boyfriend

Izuku: well admittedly in Kate's defence Rex did trick her into thinking-

I glare at him and he immediately shot up then I feel bad about it: I know but honestly I don't think I can trust her again. I mean after everything we've been through those two doing something like that... Honestly I don't think we're friends anymore. Ironically you might be my best friend now.

Izuku seem a little shocked by this: oh... Really? I mean I'm flattered but what about you know Mark?

OK Mark's definitely a close second but: he's a close second, but honestly, I feel closer to you I mean you actually listen and despite your mumbling, sometimes you've got a good heart

He blushed a bit: oh really? I'm happy you think that way

He's so cute when he's blushing no eve don't even think about it. You're still getting over Rex. Izuku is your friend quite possibly your only friend right now you don't wanna mess that up because you're still trying to get over your ex.

Just continue talking with him and give yourself some time maybe these emotions will fade as you get over Rex... Or maybe they won't but only after you're absolutely sure that you're over wreck should you even think about making a move

Izuku: well if this might sound cheesy but... I always kind of thought you could do better than that guy and hell you deserve so much better. I'm sure there's a guy out there somewhere that can see you for what you really are

This kind of feels like flirting, not that I don't mind it: oh really and what's that?

He blushes slightly: a smart beautiful... Lovely kind hearted young woman who deserve deserves so much more than what the world has given her

Shit, he's really making it hard not to fall for him

Narrators point of view

An our head passed and the two superheroes had spent the entire time in the coffee shop drinking coffee and talking about things, pacifically about the hero adventures about their lives although izuku was less than for coming about details of his childhood he didn't want to burden Eve with the truth

When the two had realised they had spoken for an hour they started walking back over to art where izuku new suit was waiting

The young hero from another world looked at his new costume. It was almost identical to his old one. Only this time it was in one piece

Art: did exactly what you told me, kept the original design but improved it in certain places your costume shouldn't be tearing upon you no unless you plan on going against Omni man

(foreshadowing much)

Izuku happy at his new costume: thanks Art. I really appreciate it more than you know.

Art: think nothing of it just keep saving lives and I consider that payment enough

The young hero nodded as he got changed back into his civilian clothes. He and Eve walked out of the place they could fly, but walking was a nice change of pace

Nana: ask her if she wanted company going home... Come on kid do it

The ninth wheeler ignoring the seventh advice: so... Eve do you wanna hang out again at some point?

Eve smiled: yeah that would be nice. I would ask if you wanted to go on patrol together tonight, but I have to clean out the team base now that we have broken up.

Izuku: oh do you want some help?

Eve shook her head: no actually I could use some time by myself, but I appreciate it. I had fun on our date.

That word slipped out of her mouth. She had no control over it. The young heroin training took a moment to process what she just said and when he did, he blushed looking away slightly.

Izuku: eve this wasn't a date was it? Because if it was I... I didn't know.

Eve: no it wasn't... It was just two friends hanging out

She then saw izuku expression drop from embarrassment to sadness. He was actually slightly upset that it wasn't a date and in her own way Eve was as well.

Eve taking a moment: that being said I wouldn't mind going out with you on another time

The young hero didn't know how to react to that he just blushed wildly as his face turned completely red eve giggled as she walked away: think about it, okay?

He just nodded, unsure about what just happened

Nana appeared beside him: oh everyone it looks like the ninth has a date

There was laughter coming from inside the wheeler of one for all's head. No one else could hear it but he could and it was making him slightly embarrassed but also happy because the past users were cheering him on as well as slightly teasing him

Izuku turned around putting his hands in his pocket as he started walking back to the Grayson household: a date... Never thought I would ever have that it does sound nice though

Later with Eve, she was in the base of her former team team team taking down pictures of her and her team but more pacifically her with Rex

Every picture she took down, brought back a new memory somewhere good memories somewhere bad but it didn't matter each one she took down felt like digging a hole inside her soul. She hated herself for being so gullible. Rex had... Done some devious things that were stupid and hurt her but she always forgave him.

But him with Kate was the last straw she was done, but it still hurt

She removed one more picture from the wall of her and Rex when they first started dating they were holding hands. She remembered how happy she fell in that moment but the memory was now spoiled rotten by what Rex had done.

She was about to continue cleaning up when she heard the sounds of explosions in the air. The basis door was open so she could hear them coming from outside at first he thought the city was under attack so she raced out of there only defined that the explosions were fireworks

This confused and brought to joy to Eve with a joy was quickly overcome with a little bit of hatred when she saw who was responsible Rex who was flipping coins up in the air after dodging it in his energy making it explode and form fireworks

Against her bad judgement, even went down to join Rex crossing her arms still very unhappy with him

Rex on the other hand noticed her and stood up smiling: hey

She didn't respond she wasn't interested in talking to him

Rex could see that she was still hostile towards him: okay yeah I messed up. I know I did. I don't know why I do these things, but you know you know that I love you.

Eve expression softened: yeah I know, but that wasn't an apology Rex

Rex: yeah, right sorry shit look just give me a do over one more chance I promise I won't screw this one up

This was an excuse that he had used and he gave him and gave him another chance only for her to get hurt again and again and again

She thought about what her and izuku spoke about in the coffee shop about how heroes had reached their limit with certain things and she wondered if she had reached her with Rex

Then the memory of what the green haired boy told her came to mind "you deserve better" the sentence that ruminated in her mind he was right she did deserve better and whether it was izuku or some other guy, she wanted to find him

But she couldn't do that if Rex was still in the picture: no Rex, I'm sorry but I'm not giving you a chance this time

Rex was heartbroken: why...? I admitted my mistake and I know I was an asshole but come on Eve it's us you're really gonna throw that away.

Eve: no you threw that away the moment you put your dick in Kate Rex I just I'm done. I've given you chance after chance but you keep fucking it up and I can't take it anymore. I deserve better.

The ex-boyfriend grumbled: oh let me guess better involves a green haired boy that dresses up as a bunny from hell!

Eve grumble as she crossed her arms once again cross: don't bring him into this he's got nothing to do with this

Rex disagreed: oh I disagree. The moment he showed up you were all over him. How long did it take you to get in bed with him a week a day?

Infuriated by what Rex was saying she went over and slapped him around the face: don't like I said nothing happened between us... Not back then but do you wanna know something? He told me that I deserved better and he's right that's with izuku or some other guy I don't know, but what I do know is it's not with you

Rex holding his cheek, still surprised that Eve actually slapped him

She stepped back a bit using her powers to get into the air: good luck with the new team

She then flew away, leaving Rex alone heartbroken angry and with a ton of misplaced blame: it's his fault izuku when I get my hands on you, I'll blow up your nuts!

Speaking of the hero from another universe, it was late when he got back to the Grayson household he got caught up in a villain attack nothing that he couldn't handle by himself but it did take a bit of time

When he got back all the lights were off and he had to use his own key to get in assumed that everyone was asleep and he thought about joining them in that endeavour but that was wishful thinking

The truth was izuku rarely ever slept at most he would get three hours in and the occasional 15 minutes power naps that he would have throughout the day

(basically Batman's sleeping schedule)

It was nothing he was not used to by now in fact he'd grown accustomed to it. It was just his way of coping. He couldn't sleep for more than three hours. It would just wake up and feel the need to do something so he thought might as well use that energy for something else pacifically finding out who murdered the guardians of the Globe.

It had been a couple of weeks since the guardians murder was announced to the public and ever since then a bunch of people had come up with their own theories as to why the guardians were murdered as well as who could've done such a thing that was mostly the government since most of the public thought the guardians died heroically saving people

Izuku was one of the few people who knew the truth and he wanted to get to the bottom of it. He felt slightly responsible for the guardians death because he was teleported into their battle and all he could do was panic and faint without trying to help any of them.

So with the guilt in mind he looked into the guardians death mocking every super villain that could accomplish killing the guardians as well as injuring Omni man and that list was growing shorter every day however there was one name that remained on his list one name that he wanted to erase but he couldn't... Because the evidence just pointed towards him

Izuku looked at the list. It had gone down from 50 names to now only 10 there was one name in particular on the list that he kept looking at

Omni man

The young hero didn't want to believe it but Omni man was still a suspect. It was just a gut feeling he had that Nolan wasn't all he appeared to be and the fact that every time he got... Emotional danger sense went off which was a red flag of its own.

Izuku whispering into the dark: I wish I wasn't so dead shit on this

Suddenly there was a cold shiver in the room to the point where the young hero could see his breath and something felt off. He felt like he was being watched. He got off from his table and chair in his room and looked around suspiciously with his fists ready to fight.

Then beside him suddenly appeared... Damien dark blood

Izuku was surprised at first but calmed down when he first got here and got access to the computers of this planet. The first thing he did was search up all the heroes in the world didn't take him too long and Damien dark blood was on there a Demon supposedly trying to save his own soul by solving crimes

Damien dark blood : didn't mean to scare... one of the survivors

Izuku: and your Damian dark blood

The Demon seems surprised: you know of me

Izuku: yeah I did a bit of research. You're a Demon supposedly a Demon detective which is something I never thought I would say out loud. I'm guessing you're here to interview me about what I saw. Am I right?

Dark blood : correct what did you see?

The young hero shrug : honestly not much. I got teleported into the guardians base by then the majority of them are already dead. I looked around at the carnage and it just was too much for me. I vomited and passed out the last thing I remember seeing is something red and then I just passed out. It could've just been the blood though.

Dark blood : mmmuuu not the answers I seek yet it appears that you have searching for answers as well

The Demon was referring to  izuku list seeing no harm in it he gave the Demon his list: these are the people I think are responsible and capable of killing the guardians

Dark blood : the molar twins when they not in jail at the time of the guardians death

The young hero agreed with that but gave the Demon a counter : well yes but they're also geniuses that can clone themselves... What's stopping them from making two clones of themselves and then sending them to attack the president that way they can catch the guardians unaware and kill them they've got the strength and they've got the brains

The Demon didn't want to admit it, but the boy had a point he didn't think of that still didn't change his theories. It just added as Damien continue looking down at the list he was surprised to see one name in particular a name that seemed to been rubbed out and then re-written a few times

Omni man

Damien dark blood : you suspect the very man that you share a house with to be responsible

Izuku look down he hated suspecting Mark's dad he really did but he just couldn't ignore the possibility: I'm not entirely sure... It's just other than me he's the only other survivor and I can't find any villains that could cause him that kind of damage that landed him in the hospital. I don't know maybe someone was mind controlling him or mind controlling the guardians to get them to kill each other... But I just I can't shake the feeling that maybe Omni man in someway is a part of this

Damien nodded : keep this to yourself. Tell no one else you find anything or remember anything come to me and I will put the pieces together.

Izuku looked up: sure but how can I contact-... and you're gone

He was the Demon had disappeared into the darkness, presumably without a trace  izuku rub the back of his head this world just kept getting weirder and weirder

In the house across the street where the agents were watching the Grace and family and  the hero from another world Cecil and Donald looked at the screen pacifically the one in izuku room they had seen every thing and heard it as well

Donald : sir you don't really think that Omni ma-

Cecil: I don't know what to think Donald what I do know is this kid smarter than people give him credit for... If he's seriously suspecting Omni man we might need to start thinking he's the culprit too

Donald: but sir he's been a hero for 20 years. Why would he suddenly turn around and do this?

Cecil looks back at the screen with izuku continuing his own investigation: I don't know Donald but something tells me our new hero is going to be the one to find out... Speaking of which how's the other thing coming along?

Donald: with secured the funding we just need a location... Sir are you sure about this? You said it yourself izuku isn't aware of how gifted he is. Are you sure you want to give him this kind of backing?

Cecil: izuku from a universe where somehow against all odds they're still keeping their heads even though 80% of them have superpowers as well as somehow managing to combat an immortal evil tyrant that's psychotic... I think we need his input and ask for a location. I've already got something in mind the old teen teen base since the team is now broken up he'll be the perfect place for izuku to discover his gift
