The heroes follow the villain for a while. He does not seem to suspect that he is being tailed.

The villain went into the mountains a good distance, but was still on a trail with a gravel road. It led to a cave entrance where he double checked his surroundings before going in.

"I got this," Lemillion informed the other heroes before submerging into the ground.

He shot himself into a good part of the cave where he could see everything. He made a mental note of everything and returned to the group to report what he saw.

"Okay, it's a big place down there." Lemillion began. "It looks like a large underground factory, and there's a bunch of people working on different machines.

"Do you have a good idea of how the layout is from the entrance?" Deku asked.

"Yeah, it was somewhat like this." he replied as he started drawing a map in the dirt. Deku then took a picture of the map to send it back to the I.H.O.

"Hey, thanks again for helping out Lemillion." Deku shared sincerely.

"Hey, anything for an old pal!" he said back with a thumbs up.

"We need to gather more intel." Ingenium suggested as he caught up to the heroes.

"Yeah," Deku began. "What do you think Ocha-" he started again, but was cut off by her expression.

Uravity was still filled with anger from earlier, and if she could, she would barge in there right now.

"Ocha? Are you there, love?" Deku waved his hand in front of her face trying to snap her out of the rage.

Her mind clicked back to normal and she was puzzled.

"Huh?" she asked, then started looking around. "Where are we?"

Everyone was shocked and drained of color for a moment there.

'Is she actually that upset?' Deku asked himself.

"I think we need to report back to The Director and see what the next step is." Deku suggested. "Maybe they could send in some of the intel division to scan it better than we could."

"I agree," Ingenium admitted.

Deku grabbed his phone and put The Director on speaker.

"Sir, we have identified a point of interest." He began. "Lemillion tagged along to help us track down the villain, and he was able to peek inside of a cave that leads to an underground factory."

"Understood. Thank you Lemillion for your help." The Director replied.

"I'm sending coordinates now," Deku added as he plugged in some information to the portal.

"Sir, what's the next step you would like us to take?" Uravity asked.

"Fall back for now. I will dispatch Invisible Girl and Vantablack to go in further without raising any suspicions." He explained.

"Good work, all of you." The Director also added in. "And Togata, you know it's not too late for you to join us. We require someone of your skill and nature on our team."

"I appreciate the offer once again sir, but I want to keep up with my promise still." He explained. "But our agency is always open to teaming up with you!"

After graduating from UA, Mirio, Tamaki, and Nejire kept their promise with each other and started a hero agency together. Tsukauchi has tried numerous times to have him and the others join the I.H.O, but it simply does not interest them.

The group of heroes go back into the city where the battle had taken place.

Some more local pros came in for cleanup of the fallen building.

"What was this building?" Inginium asked himself out loud.

"What do you mean?" Deku replied.

"Why was this the only place the villain targeted?" he began. "Think about it. He only hit this building and ran off. Whatever he was looking for here, he must have found."

The two heroes stood there puzzled for a moment trying to figure out what exactly the villain would have been after in that building, but they could not think of anything with significance.

A few hours had gone by, and cleanup was nearly over with. Izuku met back up with Ochako and the couple began to walk down the road.

"Hey, I'm sorry about earlier." Izuku explained.

"It's not your fault. It's the villains" Ochako replied.

"I never did get to finish my question, you know." He began. Ochako grabs his hands and gives him a kiss. She pulls away and looks him in the eyes.

"We'll have another chance. For tonight, the mood is ruined." she explained, winking at the end.

"We should probably get back to the woods and get our car." Izuku stated.

"You know, I think that is a great idea! I'll go get us food!" Ochako teased. "See you in a bit!"

She walked off towards a restaurant downtown while Izuku took off into the sky laughing at the stunt that his girlfriend just pulled.
