The day was a little awkward for the two hidden Foundation agents. Izuku attempted to pretend that the morning didn't happen, and Eve was too embarrassed to say anything about it. At least, until Izuku brought it up when they were alone, away from prying eyes, and definitely away from Mina. "I... heard... what you dreamt last night... but I wanted to ask... what do you think of me?"

"Huh?" She was surprised by the question.

Reiterating his point, Izuku asked: "What do you think of me?"

She held her tongue for a moment, collecting her thoughts and coalescing them into something he would appreciate. "Izuku... I can't really describe what I feel for you. You were the only one who did anything back then... when I was, well... considered less than human. In a world that didn't care, you did. And it... left an impact on me. You were my first friend. You saved my life, in more ways than just one. Helping you was the least I could do... but I feel you deserve more. I..." She swallowed her nervousness. "I think I do love you, Izuku Midoriya."

He was shocked. He didn't think this would possibly be an outcome. Despite his feelings towards her, the green haired boy thought she only saw him as a friend... at least until last night. He could feel something warm and wet slide down his face. A tear. It wasn't of sadness, though... it was a much better emotion. Joy. His voice cracking due to emotion, Izuku replied softly, "I... I think I feel the same." They both stood there for a moment. In this moment, stretched to eternity, they had no idea what to do next. After all, love wasn't something they ever thought would be an option at the Foundation... yet... the Bright family had worked there just fine. Maybe they could make it work? "I... I guess... do you want to be my girlfriend?"

"Of course!" She beamed, walking close and crushing him with a hug, careful to avoid the pendant. "I would... love... for you to be mine."

"I'm not going to lie... due to... this..." After breaking the hug, the verdant haired boy tugged at the chain to 963-1. "It's likely I'll outlive you."

"Then I'll have to make it so you'll never forget me." She then leant down slightly, being just a little over a head taller, and kissed him on the lips. Alone, they continued the make out session... until they needed to breathe. After letting his mouth go, Eve watched as the greenette stayed still, shocked at her antics and sheer audacity. His brain suffered from a critical error, amusing the brunette as she carefully dragged him back to the dorms, giggling slightly to herself. A few glances went her way from other students, but they figured it was just what it was. However, even as giddy as she was, Eve did remember what Director Rabenherz said to her in private: If you break my adopted son's heart, I will not hesitate to make sure you're in an unfortunate... accident. Understand?

Now, as someone who was completely loyal to her Izuku... she couldn't possibly think of doing that... but she felt the same to her. I completely understand, Director... but it won't matter. We're in this together.









Meanwhile, at a bar, far from UA:

A figure entered through the front. A spy from the institution which was their enemy. He strode stoically, one foot at a time, towards the bar, and the occupant sitting in front of it, hand on a glass. He was older, with long, pale silver blue hair... and the leader of the League of Villains. They had successfully attacked the USJ and killed a student, before Allmight arrived and overpowered the Nomu. Another was behind the bar, made from smoke. As the spy walked towards him, Shigaraki Tomura's voice clawed at the eardrums of the arrival, not even looking to the suspicious individual. "What took you so long?"
