Captain Deku

Movie Watching

Summary:

Izuku and Mei watch a movie, and Izuku settles on what kind of weapon he wants!

(4 hours later: Midoriya residence)

"This is quite the list the doctor provided for you," a woman equal to Inko's age and height commented as she read through the list on the kitchen table.

This woman was Mei's mother, Hana Hatsume. Hana had short pink hair that reached her neck, yellow eyes much like her daughter, pale skin, and a pair of goggles that also functioned as a pair of glasses that currently rested on her nose. Both she and her husband were brilliant inventors known for making equipment that had saved the lives of countless heroes and civilians.

Hana and Mei had come over for their daily visit, as was their tradition ever since the two children had become friends. While she and Inko were talking in the kitchen, Izuku and Mei were watching a few American movies Hana's husband had brought back from his latest trip.

"I know. This page is for trainers, this one's for the heroes who teach self-defense, this one's for weapon experts, and that's barely scratching the surface," Inko sighed, placing the sheet she was holding on top on one of the three stacks of papers the doctor had provided. "I can understand about being thorough, but this seems a bit...excessive."

"That's the understatement of the decade," Hana mumbled under her breath. "And you said the doctor mentioned Izuku should get some kind of equipment?"

"Yes, but we haven't had the time to decide or discuss what that item should be. I-I don't want my son using an actual weapon; he could end up killing someone by accident!"

"Well, maybe he doesn't need an actual weapon. There're plenty of items out there that could help him out. Maybe some kind of armor? Or a capture weapon?"

While their mothers continued discussing what to get Izuku, the child in question and his friend were busy with their own devices. They watched, captivated, as a man in red, white, and blue came falling from the sky. He landed on a bad guy, shield first, and smashed him through a truck's window.

Then the hero kicked the truck and sent it smashing into another villain. The hero threw his shield, knocking another bad guy back before the shield bounced back to the hero.

Raising the shield high to block a volley of bullets, he ran and jumped onto a truck that a villain was currently standing on. Snatching the gun from the bad guy's hand, the hero landed a solid punch to his opponents' stomach, sending him flying and crashing into a cement pillar.

Following the hero up, two more heroes, a woman wearing red and a man with mechanical wings, flew into the scene and began to attack, kicking, punching, and sending the villains dressed in black flying through the air and smashing into their trucks. The woman in red then helped by floating the red-white-and-blue hero into the air and through a glass window.

Blocking more bullets, the hero smashed another villain into a metal desk before hiding behind a pillar of cement to protect himself from more bullets.

He bounced the shield off of the floor and a wall, and it smacked into a bad guy and sent him flying out of the building through a window. A new villain rushed him after that, but the hero swept his leg and knocked him to the ground. The hero followed that up by grabbing the man's leg before smashing him into another cement pillar.

"That's so cool!" Izuku cried out in excitement. "I want a shield like him! I want a shield to be my equipment!"

"Equipment?" Mei questioned, confused.

"Uh huh! The doctor said I should have some equipment since my quirk won't be good for fighting. I want a shield just like that guy!"

"A shield may be the perfect thing for you Izuku," Hana said as she and Inko walked towards the two. "It's the perfect combination of offense and defense, and you won't seriously hurt anyone like your mother fears. My husband and I could make one for you, if you'd like."

"Oh Hana, that's very generous, but we don't want to be of any trouble! And I'm sure a shield like that could be really expensive—"

"It's no trouble at all, Inko! This is a hero item we're talking about; the government will have no problem at all funding it."

"But Izuku's not a hero yet."

"Details, Inko, details! He's not one yet! What the government won't know won't hurt them," Hana stated, causing Inko to sigh. She knew it was of no use to argue with Hana and her family. Once they set their mind to something, they got it done. "Anyway, how are you guys enjoying the movies?"

"The heroes are cool and all, but none of them are as cool as my hero," Mei informed her mother, leaning on to Izuku's shoulder with a big smile. Ever since the chair incident, Mei had taken to referring to Izuku as her hero. The greenhead in question blushed bright red. It didn't help that their parents cooed at the sight.

"So cute!" Hana whispered, rapidly tapping the button on her phone to take pictures. After about 50 pictures, and with Inko trying to pry the phone out of her hand to make her stop, she decided that was enough for now. "Ok, come on Mei, it's time to go."

"Goodbye, my hero," she cooed before pecking Izuku's cheek and getting up from her seat. She sent a wink back at him, which made his whole head turn red.

"Ugh, you do that now after I put my phone away?!" Hana groaned, causing Inko and Mei to laugh.
