She couldn't figure out why Izuku seemed upset throughout the work day. She had wanted to re-ask him if he could help to pickout a phone company tomorrow.

But seeing as that wasn't going to happen she opted for asking the next in line.

Before having to leave she went looking for Amy. When she found her in the break room she was also happy to find 1 donut left.

Grabbing the sweet she turned to her other female coworker, "Would you be interested in going shopping tomorrow? I need help finding a phone company. Also, my sudden career change didn't come with a new wardrobe."

Whenever she spoke one on one with Amy she used English. During what little conversations they had during break and between paperwork she had picked up a few things.

Amy knew a few languages but turns out Japanese was her worst one. She had a compact translator in her desk that she noticed. It seemed that she was embarrassed for Rin to see her use it.

Rin has almost asked her if she needed help but in the end chose not to. It probably would have been embarrassing for her shy coworker and honestly, if she had gotten by this long without her help she still could.

Amy has been working for the company for 9 years and has been at this location for 4 of them.

Her last location was the Detroit one.

The one Rin had tried to go to.

Another important detail to know about Amy is that she LOOKED asian. When she saw heroes and other officials come in to give reports to translate they were often surprised with how choppy her Japanese was.

"I would like that. I personally think that you should start with AU. SoftBank was my first phone company here and ended up switching."

"Awesome. We could meet in front of the office building."

Amy nodded and smiled.

Waving with her donut in her hand she left to exit.

The donut was her 4th one. She found that she just kept going back and getting one during the work day.

As she made it to the front doors she couldn't help but pause.

She really had no life anymore. What to do? What to do?

Groceries. That's what she needed to do.

Izuku was waiting at the office desk that read Ground Zero on the nameplate. He was being so stubborn about what Rin had said earlier.

Be did admit to himself though that his childhood friend had grown into an attractive man. He also felt that he had too.

Jealously was an ugly emotion.

He had to wait to get details on Ground Zero's charity donation and if he was attending the event. He was qualified to go as long as he agreed not to wear is equipment.

He had already talked to a large number of old classmate and other heroes at the agency.

After Rin's comment earlier he had chosen to make Katsuki his last victim.

"Oi! What the shit was that this morning?"

Izuku turned to see his friend enter.

"You already know. She wanted to greet you. I tried to stop her but she's persistent. I knew you had parole last night and probably get back late."

Bakugou had stayed up a lot later than usual. But as to why, he wasn't about to tell Deku. It also appeared that his friend was getting friendly with the ex stripper.

Ground Zero sat on his desk and pulled out a clipboard that had a villain report clipped to it.

"I didn't think we'd ever bump into her again." He started small talk. During their co workers retreat that All Might made their asses go on he has been doing this more.

'It builds bridges.' He mocked the counselor in his head.

But still Bakugou didn't mind the small talk with a few people. Izuku seems to understand what to an not to say to him by now too.

"Agree. But apparently she applied and got the job. Since being pulled off of field work I now have her as a deck neighbor. Plus All Might homed her in our building."

"Leave it to him to try to be a hero for everyone. Even a stripper from across the world."

Midoriya's frown could not be hidden.

"She's different now." He paused, "She definitely has a flirtatious sense of humor though."

Leaning back in his chair with his feet in his desk Katsuki contemplated telling his friend about the night in the alley or the fact that he watched her fuck herself with his glove.

After the images reeled through his head he realized he wanted this one for himself.

He still struggled with this internal desire of competing against Midoriya Izuku.

His childhood friend turned enemy turned frienemy and now they were friends again. Granted it will probably never be like how it was.

Midoriya had a loving mother, been given a kickass quirk by their number one hero, was mentored by him and now he was feeling that he was wanting this too.

Well, Ground Zero wasn't about to give Deku the pleasure of even imagining her in heat.

He was just going to let his friend assume that the woman was all talk and no bite.

And he knew she could bite because there were moments where he could still feel it.

"If you say she's changed I'll believe you." He took his feet off the table and with his elbows on his desk and his face in his hands.

He looked into his friends eyes and couldn't help the grin he had.

"I wonder if she still has her school uniform?"

Red faced from his memories of the uniform Midoriya thought now was officially the time to talk business.

"I came here to ask if you'll be coming to the charity event."

"You like to ruin all the fun."

With a side glance he ignored his respond. "Apparently there are 3 children that put you down as their favorite hero. It would be nice if you joined the event."

"Can't I just donate the 5k, sign some prints and that be it?"

"Red Riot and Chargebolt will be there. And of course I will be going."

Katsuki groaned. He REALLY didn't want to be around some brats.

"Today when All Might and I told Rin about how she has to work it she got excited and said that she would come in costume."

This mildly got Bakugou's attention.

"She said that she wanted to be dressed as the hero who looks 'sexy' and 'comfortable'." Izuku look at his friend, "She said that she's going to come in a Ground Zero costume."

Ground Zero shifted in his seat at the discomfort in his pants. They were baggy enough to hide any foreseeable issues.

"Still not enough to convince me." He needed to play if off at the least.

It was Izuku's turn to groan, "There will be an after party with an open bar. It's at a local pub across from the hospital. They're mostly just doing it for publicity but there is that too."

To be honest, Bakugou had already decided to go when he was told Red Riot was going. The bastard would never let it go otherwise. But he liked to see how far he could push Izuku.

"Okay. I'll go. But no pictures."

Midoriya knew there would be pictures but wasn't going to bother with that right now.
