Two weeks later....
The two of them walked hand in hand to a special place in Midoriya's heart. It was cold as usual but signs of spring were present. The trees were starting to bloom and their breathes were not visible all the time.
"Which beach are we heading to," she asked.
"Dagobah." He replied.
"Izuku that place is such a heap of junk; why there?"
"It's not anymore. I cleaned it up awhile ago."
"And where did you put it all?"
"I assume it went to a landfill. All Might had me load it into his truck."
"Wait All Might?"
"You see, before the entrance exam, All Might trained me at first by having me move all that junk."
"You cleared all that trash? How?"
"A lot of time and effort. It wasn't straight forward."
"Well let's just see how things have been since then."

When Kendo saw the sand, she was a bit blown away. Midoriya was surprised that she hadn't known earlier about it.
"It's amazing that this was once full of people's junk; it is so open now! You did a great job!"
"T-Thanks."
"I still can't get over it." Kendo said.
"Get over what?"
"That we're going to be separated for several weeks. It's going to be a challenge."
"Like you said we'll stay in touch. So are you looking forward to Okinawa?"
"Heck yeah! I'm surprised that my agency got me a position at all."
"Do you know who else is going?"
She reached into her purse and pulled out a slip of paper. There were several names of her friends on it.
-sestune
-TetsuTetsu
-Momo
-reiko
-Kirishima
"Just those people? I would've thought more would be going." Midoriya commented.
"Well they were the ones that I know are going; there's likely plenty more."
"Midoriya, there's something that I wanted to ask you."
"R-really? What is it?"

"Let me get this straight," Roach said. "There are several major targets in addition to the kid that you're looking for? Who are they?"
"Patience; it will do you no good to know right now. Your objective is this individual. I've been able to construct a rough guess of what their face looks like." Ujiko replied.
"Well, from the intelligence that I have gathered, it sounds like they're going to I-Island. And they'll have Endeavor's agency to provide protection." She commented while looking at a picture of a girl.
"I'm not surprised by that; I-Island will likely be conducting research on that girl. And with the security it boasts, I don't doubt their competence."
He scratched his mustache and turned back to the computers. Roach and the others stood about in the lab. Some of the Nomus stared blankly while others were watching. To think that they were once living people made her feel confused inside.
"What else have you discovered about the girl?"
He asked.
"From the sounds of it, she does not have any combat experience. No surprise since she is so protected."
"This I already know."
"Any suggestions on how to get into I-Island?"
"All for one knows of a way; this would not be the first time that the place was breached."
"But he's locked up in Tartarus."
"I was about to say that he brought someone to me for additional quirks and mentioned how they were getting in. I fill you in on the details in a bit. For now, I have a gift for you."
"Will you wrap it up and put a pretty bow in it?" She asked sarcastically.
"It's already in a box. Here."
He handed over a small container that looked like for proposing. She opened it but didn't see a ring. Instead was a band of wire with straps connected.
"That will boost the number of people you can control at any given moment with your quirk. Instead of fourteen, now you can do up 914."
"Wait what?!"
"It's a device that I made based off of stolen designs from I-Island. If you tried any more than 914, you will lose consciousness and possibly die."
"Doctor! You're spoiling her!" Shigaraki said.
"This will come in handy. I think I'll take it for a test drive; Dabi, care to volunteer?" Roach said.
"Not this time!"
******
"Of course." He replied.
