My Hero Academia: Voyage Through Time

Chapter 20 - Back to Normal

Several minutes have passed, and the police officer had not returned to Aizawa, Nezu, Tim, and the manager of the junkyard. Tim had been trying to speak to them, but Aizawa had just kept telling him to shut up and to stay quiet. Tim tries to think of some other way of communicating with them, and he looks down at the dirt below him. He gets an idea, and with his foot, he spells out the words "NOT A COP" on the ground below. Aizawa looks down at it, then looks at the direction in which the alleged police officer went in. Now, Aizawa's suspicious.

"Alright, Tim. I'm going to activate my quirk and take your duct tape off. Tell me what you're trying to say." Aizawa says. He activates his quirk and rips the duct tape off Tim's mouth.

"Ah! That's not a cop! That's Kim, and she's getting away!" Tim yells out.

"That doesn't make any sense. Why would your own partner turn you in?" Aizawa asks, believing this to be another trick or something of the like.

"I don't know either! We had an argument, and she threatened to turn me in, took my money, but I didn't think she would! She's crazy! And a cheater! And a bad person! And a piece of sh-" Tim continues, before Aizawa puts the duct tape back on Tim's mouth.

Aizawa, confused, looks at Nezu, then says "Call Tsukauchi. Tell him to get over here."

"Alright, on it." Nezu says, dialing Detective Tsukauchi.

The manager, who has stayed awkwardly quiet, decides to break his silence. He pats Tim on the shoulder, then waits for Tim to look at him.

"Hey uh, I think you might have left a bomb in your car," the manager says, pointing over at the car on fire.

Tim's gaze falls to the floor, disappointed in himself.

At UA High, it is now 11:30 o'clock at night, and most of the 1-A students are asleep. Izuku, however, could not seem to sleep, so he got up and went for a walk outside of the dorm buildings. His mind is a bit cloudy with several thoughts from earlier in the day, such as those of him being accused of being a criminal, the text messages he got from his mother asking why she saw her son on the news robbing a store, and then All-Might having to go on T.V. publicly to clarify what really happened.

"Deku?" a familiar voice calls out.

Izuku turns to see Uraraka behind him, her head to the side. It's quite dark outside so he can't make out her face or defining features, but Izuku can tell by her recognizable voice that it's her.

"What are you doing out here so late?" she asks, walking closer.

"Oh, hey Uraraka. And I just came out here to get some fresh air." Izuku says, putting his hands in his pockets and looking down at the cement below.

"Oh, I see." she says, putting a hand over her elbow.

Izuku looks up at the constellations. Since there's so much light pollution from the city, only the bright stars are visible, so Orion is pretty much the only easily noticeable one.

Uraraka looks at Izuku and smiles. She walks up beside him, and taps him gently on the arm.

"Yeah?" Izuku asks, looking over towards her.

Uraraka grabs hold of Izuku's collar with a fierce grip, and pulls him towards her face. Izuku is obviously startled by the sudden tug, but once he sees Uraraka close her eyes and lean in, he realizes what's going on. Likewise, he closes his eyes and leans in, kissing her.

A thousand words could perhaps maybe describe all of the thoughts going through Izuku's at that point in time. "Oh my god, it's happening again! Another kiss!", or "I wasn't even ready! My lips are chapped!" But the best words to describe it all, Izuku was truly happy. And so was Uraraka.
