It had been two weeks since starting my new school, and things had been somewhat rocky. I've had to keep an eye on Bakugo, but I'm never sure when or if he would come for his revenge. Not to mention the buttload of work to catch up on while, of course, tackling my hero duties. But today was different.

Today was a day for me. At least, that was the plan. Zipping up my coat, I made sure my hero costume wasn't poking out, wiping a small cut. Then, staring in the elevator mirror, I smiled, finger-pointing. I quickly stopped as the elevator came to a halt. Spinning on the spot, Harry was already there with a party popper. "Suprise! Happy birthday, Y/N!"

Throwing aside confetti, I walked in fist bumping Harry, ecstatic. "Thanks, Harry. Seriously, we could have just had a small gathering at my place."

"I don't want to hear it, dude; we're holding a party here. Did you get here alright?"

Walking around the giant penthouse, I nodded, amazed. "Yeah, my Aunt May dropped me off. But, you know, it still amazes me just how huge this place is. I think the bathroom is bigger than my entire front room and kitchen combined."

"You should see what my father's place is like back in New York. It makes this look like a student dorm." Harry laughs, forcing a party hat on me. "Come on through; Peni and Otto are setting up the food and drinks."

Walking into the dining room, I saw more decorations all lined up with my name and age, now that I was 16. Peni and Otto were pouring the drinks as she turned to me, waving. "There he is! Happy Birthday, Y/N. To think you're now older than me. Such a shame."

"I'm only four months older, Peni; hey Otto, how have you been?"

Otto nods to himself, shaking my head. "Pretty good, thank you. I seriously thought I got the wrong place; I knew your father was rich, Osbourne, but this is something else."

"Please, Otto, I insist. Just call me Harry." He laughs, pouring himself a drink, eyes widened. "Oh, right, I almost completely forgot; I invited some of our old friends from middle school. I'm sure you wouldn't mind."

I paused, pulling Harry over. "When you mean you invited some old friends, you don't mean?"

Harry smugly nodded, wrapping his arm around me. "You bet I did; I invited Kirishima and Ashido. I even said they could bring their friends."

"Harry... Damn it, man, will you seriously give it a rest? Whatever, it's not like they're going to come."

"Harry, your friends have arrived. Would you like me to send them in?"

"Of course, Bernard, send them in, please." Harry gloated, punching me in the shoulder. "Never tell me the odds, buddy."

Rolling my eyes, I gulped some juice walking over to greet everyone. 

"Holy moly! This place is huge! I could easily get lost, dude!" Kaminari yelled, spinning around. "How can anyone live here?"

"Are we seriously welcome... This doesn't feel too right." Midoriya whispered, trembling slightly.

"Relax, Midoriya. Harry said we could bring as many friends as we'd like. So it's not like we don't know the guy." Kirishima stated, catching wind of me. "There he is! Y/N Parker! Yo, yo!"

Waving slightly, I nervously chuckled. "Hey, everyone. This is a surprise to say; I wasn't expecting so many people."

"We aren't overstepping it, are we?" Uraraka questioned, conflicted. "We were told we were welcome to come."

Shaking my hands, I tried defusing the situation. "No, no. Of course not; it's great to see you all. Even if we don't go to the same classes, the more, the merrier."
