Izuku Midoriya adjusted his tie once again as he waited at the arranged meeting point. His outfit significantly smarter than the kind of casual wear he normally wore, a black shirt under a dark green jacket with matching trousers along with black and red shoes on his feet.
He had been waiting for the person he was meeting for nearly half an hour now and had been nervous long before then. What if he was too early? Too late? What if this was a trick? What if-
Izuku heard the sound of something landing behind him and the boy turned to look at who it was. Stood there, her wings folding up into storage and wearing a dark red dress over her mostly white and black body-
“What? Think I was going to stand you up or something?”
“Not for a moment…”
-was the most beautiful woman ever built.
“…V.”

Izuku felt worthless. It had been another terrible day at Aldera like usual, but this time Kacchan, for Izuku’s birthday, had chosen to give him some particularly nasty explosions as a present. Izuku knew he likely wouldn’t be able to cover up the wounds this time and was wondering what to say to his mother right before the air split apart in front of him.
A massive black orb appeared out of nowhere, wind blowing everywhere around it and forcing Izuku to shield his eyes before several bodies fell out of the orb, that same orb vanishing as quickly as it had appeared. Cautiously, Izuku looked at the roughly three-dozen people that had fallen through. All of them appeared to have unnaturally pale bodies as well as some sort of black visor over their eyes, their skin looking segmented and artificial as if-
“Are you robots!?”
A purple haired robot spoke first. “Holy fuck! A human!“

“You know I could download all of these and view them all twenty times each before any one of these finishes playing.” V said as the silver-haired drone and the green-haired human stood in the cinema foyer.
“I know, but mom said that seeing a movie with friends is better than watching one on your own. I mean, we’ve watched films with N, Uzi and the others together.”
V contemplated Izuku’s words for a moment. “Okay then squirt. What movie should we watch?” Izuku looked up at the overhead screen showing what movies were on before V interrupted him. “And no, we are not watching ‘An All Might Tale: Edition 23’.”
“Yeah, the last seven editions haven’t been very good either.” Izuku said. “They over-speculated over what he did during his recovery five years ago and the makers of Edition 19 got sued for implying that he-“
V put a finger over Izuku’s mouth a smirk on her own face. “Focus Izuku.” V said before lowering her hand.
Izuku looked at the screen again before smiling. “How about Star Wars Episode 49: The Second Revengence of C-3PO?” Both Izuku and V looked at each other for a moment before they broke out in laughter, the two needing to support each other as they laughed for a good amount of time, regardless of what the people around them thought.

It had been two months since the surviving residents of Copper-9 has been taken under U.A’s protection (the HPSC had proven disturbingly eager to ‘study’ the alien robots), the older drones being given jobs while the younger ones would be taken on as students in the new year. One particular future student was currently helping to train Nedzu’s new personal student.
Izuku grunted as he was slammed into the ground, quickly pulling himself up in full expectation of a follow-up attack. One that didn’t come as Izuku’s pig-tailed attacker looked on with her hands pressed against her hips. “Honestly brat, most people would have learnt to avoid taking a hit like that by now.” J said, a digital frown on her face. “Now we’re going to try this again and if you don’t dodge, I promise it’s going to hurt.” J then spread her wings and dashed forward, Izuku’s eyes widening as the disassembly drone rushed him, no time to jump out of the way.
Before Izuku could be struck however, a white and black blur struck J, forcing her to the ground before impact. “What the heck was that for!” J shouted at the offending party.
“Izuku has his private tutoring with Nezu in half an hour.” V said. “Do you want to be the one to explain why Izuku needed to go to Recovery Girl first?”
J was about to respond before she rolled her eyes. “Fine.” The female drone groaned before walking off.
“Er, you didn’t need to do that.” Izuku said. “I mean, I’ve taken harder blows than that before.”
“Doesn’t mean you have to.” V said, looking away from Izuku. “That said, next training session…” V then turned to look at Izuku, a wide, vicious smile on her face. “It’ll be my turn to train you.”

V and Izuku exited the cinema laughing. “That was so bad!” V laughed. “I thought movies were supposed to be well-made. I could literally see the backdrop falling apart in one scene.” The two then broke out into laughter again before Izuku spoke up. “I don’t think the staff appreciated you throwing popcorn at the screen.”
“Well, what was I going to do with it? Eat it?” That broke the duo out into more laughter as they walked away. “You know Izuku, I haven’t been to that beach that was used as a dump since Nezu had all the scrap gathered and melted down for parts. Want to check it out?”

“Expelled, the lot of you are expelled.” Shouta Aizawa said to the students in question, namely N, V, J, Uzi, Izuku and dozen others that had tried to defend most, if not all of them them, the brown-haired girl, the pink-skinned girl with horns and the tall girl with the long ponytail in particular looking on in shock at their teacher’s dismissive attitude.
“There are so many things wrong with that, I don’t know where to begin.” A voice said from nearby and everyone turned to see another robot approaching, one that resembled an older male with a moustache, more importantly, next to that robot was a being of interminable species. “Oh wait, yes I do-” Aizawa was about to interrupt but Nezu lifted a paw up. “Don’t. I heard you declare most of this class expelled. Why?”
“This is a hero school. This isn’t a place for toys or someone who would be a liability in the field at best. The others should have known better than to try and defend them.”
“I can assure you, Izuku Midoriya would be no liability.” Nezu said, lifting his paw up to stop Aizawa from trying to interrupt. “I am fully aware he is quirkless. That was one of the first things I learnt about Midoriya before making him my personal student.”
“Told ya.” V couldn’t help but say over her shoulder to the four boys that were the only ones not to defend Izuku (or the drones), the glasses wearing boy and the ball-headed one looking as if their whole view on life had been challenged, the two-tone haired boy looking as disinterested as he did at the start of the tests and Exploding Idiot having a face that only a mother could love looking like it had swallowed a skinned lemon.
“Of course, had you bothered reading the files I had sent all the faculty staff, the files labelled ‘Priority, must read’, you would know that. And if you had bothered turning up to staff meetings or even reading any of the files I had sent you over the past few months, not only would you be aware of the circumstances regarding students V, J, N and Uzi, but you would also have know that thanks to your actions last year nearly ruining this school’s reputation, you had been demoted to teaching assistant. So, imagine my surprise when I heard from 1-A’s actual homeroom teacher that her class was missing.”
“What are you talking about, I’m the homeroom teacher.” Aizawa interrupted.
“No, I am.” A voice said from the man-robot only for Aizawa to realise the voice came from someone behind the robot. At which point something detached itself from the robot’s back and landed on the ground. “Hello 1-A.” A fleshy blob with a single purple eye said. “I’m Nori Doorm-“
“WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!”
“OH GOD, WHAT THE FUCK?!”
“MOM?!”
Several eyes then turned to look at Uzi who could only groan. “Ugh, bite me.”

“Still can’t believe how much better this place looks now.” Izuku said as he as V watched the ocean lap across the sand of Dagobah Beach. Now vacant of the junk that had filled it for so long, the sandy shoreline has been largely restored to its former beauty.
“Yeah, too bad I can’t walk on it.” V groused as she wiped the sand dust off her legs, her lack of proper feet having prevented her from keeping upright on the sand and only Izuku’s quick save had kept V from face planting the beach. “Should have known better.”
“Don’t be like that V.” Izuku said. “The nights only just started. There’re other places we can go.” V almost blushed for a moment before smiling. “Oh yeah? Like where Izu?”

After the debacle that had been the battle trials where Bakugou had damn nearly brought a skyscraper down on himself, Iida, V and Izuku in an attempt to kill the latter, and All Might barely arriving in time to keep V from attacking the berserker (and that had ended with Bakugou bumped down to gen-ed, forced to undergo sessions with Hound Dog and knocked out by Midnight due to his rage), everyone had expected an easier lesson at the USJ. They were wrong. But they were not the only ones expecting things to go the way they wanted.
Case in point, a gang of villains had ambushed them in the USJ but before the apparent leader could finish talking, he was attacked. Now his body was held suspended in the air by a purple symbol.
And his head laid several feet away. The symbol disappearing and allowing the fresh corpse to drop. “Okay you bastards.” Nori Doorman said as her blob-like form skittled across the floor, solver-held and bloodied pickaxe suspended overhead as J and V stood next to her, faces displaying an X each and weapons deployed in place of their hands. “Who’s next?”

“Okay, I’ll admit it, this isn’t a bad place to go.” V said as she and Izuku walked through a nearby park. Streetlights alongside paths allowed the two to see where they were going (Izuku more so than V) through the largely vacant park. “Though to be fair, I’ve not seen a lot of parks to compare.” For a moment, Izuku thought V wasn’t enjoying herself. Was he being a bad date? Was he- “Don’t go there.” V said suddenly, Izuku realising he had said that out loud. V then blushed slightly as she looked away. “I’ve… never been on a date before so this is… nice.” The drone then looked at Izuku. “But you do not let J and Uzi know that.”
“Hey look, it’s Deku!” Izuku froze up at those words and he turned to see a group of familiar people making their way out of the darkness. All of said people being his former Aldera classmates. “How’s it going Deku? Been living the high life at U.A while the rest of us had to put up with being expelled from our high schools?”
“Hey look, it’s one of those robots we’ve heard about.” Another of the group said as they surrounded Izuku and V. “Deku’s so pathetic he can’t get a date with a real person!”
“Hah, that’s just like Deku.” Another said who went to shove the boy only for a synthetic-white arm to lash out and grab hold of the offending boy. “Hey let go.”
“So, you claim to have heard of me, do you?” V said calmly before turning her head to look at the group one by one. “If that’s true.” V’s expression then turned vicious. “Then you know quirk laws don’t apply to me!” V then deployed her claw-hand with her free arm, the implication clear as most of the group backed away, V releasing the one she had hold of.
“Tch. Let’s go.” The group’s leader said. “Deku can keep his toy.” The group then slinked away, V watching them very carefully as they did. Once they were far enough, V turned to her date. “Come on, I’ve got an idea.” Before Izuku could say anything, V grabbed hold of Izuku, spread her wings and hauled him into the sky.

The sports festival had been a disaster. It had gone fine until the third event, where Izuku was forced to break his own leg by that purple-haired fucker (while V had been happy to curb-stomp him, Nezu would be having words with Aizawa for overturning his disqualification), J had lost both her legs to Todoroki’s ice and Katsuki had attacked N after N had removed him from the ring. The fact that V and Uzi were the ones to make to the final had just fanned the flames and by the next day, U.A’s competence had been called into question.
And yet, that was preferable to what V was dealing with now. A maniacal murderer who had tried to kill Izuku for the crime of daring to try and be a hero. The Hero Killer crossed blades with V again and again, she forced him back. The madman spat words at her again but V didn’t care. All that mattered to her right now was keeping him away from Izuku. As the Hero Killer charged again, V deployed one of her rifles and fired, forcing Stain to change direction before V charged him, slamming her blade against his…
SLICE
And deploying her other blade again in time to decapitate the Hero Killer. Retracting her weapons, V made her way back over to Izuku, wounded and still unable to move. “He, he was mine.” The armoured teen nearby groaned, V in turn rolling her eyes as she dealt with more immediate concerns.

Izuku couldn’t help but feel a little frightened as V soared upward, holding Izuku under his arms as she did. For a moment, Izuku looked down and help his stomach drop as the city retreated beneath him. Without warning, his view was obstructed by fog, no cloud, before becoming clear again before V spun the two of them around with a laugh. Izuku cried out before the spin stopped and the two levelled out. “Calm down
Izuku. You know I won’t drop you.” V said, those words doing enough to calm the boy down as he took in his surroundings. The city was still visible but the sky above was far clearer than he would ever see it from the ground and he couldn’t help but stare in wonder.
“Thought you might like this.” V said as the flyer carried her passenger through the night sky. As they carried on, the two took in the beautiful view in silence, awed by the night’s wonder as they enjoyed each other’s company…

Nori had made it very clear following her daughter’s kidnapping from the camp, along with Izuku, that there was going to be nothing stopping All for One from dying that day. What she didn’t know was that the one thing she, or any of the drones, hadn’t wanted to leave Copper-9 had been hiding in Uzi all this time and had made use of a Nomu’s cybernetic quirk to attain a new body for itself.
“Get snuck up on.” The monotonous voice of Cyn declared from the Nomu, a null sphere engulfing the area that All Might had just vacated. He knew full well how dangerous those things were after All for One had wrongfully believed it wouldn’t hurt him, the now-dead villain reduced to mush. Several heroes, along with N, V, J and Nori danced around the Absolute Solver’s attacks one after the other, some failing and losing their lives in the process.
The battle was hard but between Cyn’s refusal to die and the Nomu’s quirks, it couldn’t have been any less. But by the time the fight was over, the monster that had destroyed Copper-9 and so many lives was finally dead and gone, as were several heroes and a sizeable part of the city.
Yet even then, as V saw Izuku and Uzi make their way over, the disassembly drone could only feel relief that it was finally over…

Izuku landed feet first on the ground as V let go of him just a foot off the ground, allowing her to land gracefully before retracting her wings. “That was amazing.” Izuku said. “Just how much can you carry by yourself? Are you able to carry more than one person?” Any further questions were cut off when V presses her mouth against Izuku’s, shocking him into silence before V pulled back. “How about we just enjoy this moment while we can?” The dress-clad drone said before pulling Izuku in for another kiss.

V watched from afar as the white-haired girl sat on Izuku’s lap kept reaching for N’s tail, the sole male disassembly drove playfully pulling it out of her reach every now and then. V was beginning to question if Izuku had a ‘doom magnet’ quirk given that their internship with Ryukyu had started with the two of them rescuing a fleeing child and arresting her abuser who turned out to be a yakuza boss.
Then there was ‘Sir’ Nighteye who had threatened to have V dismantled and Izuku blacklisted if they didn’t have ‘Overhaul’s’ arrest overturned and the child, Eri, returned to him. V had to try very hard not to gut the man there and then. Eventually, the yakuza broke out Overhaul and they had the balls to actually attack U.A in an attempt to retrieve Eri. An attempt that not only resulted in more than half the Shie Hassaikai dead, including Overhaul, but Nighteye trying to blame Izuku for the attack. This had been the last straw for All Might, whose relationship with his former sidekick was already heavily strained, and the man successfully encouraged the HPSC to have Nighteye’s license revoked. Last V heard of the control freak, Nezu had driven him from the country.
Her thoughts were broken when she heard Eri calling for her, the child having plodded over to V during the latter’s ruminations. “Excuse me. Can I ask you something?”
“Sure kid, why not?” V said.
Eri tensed for a moment. “Mister N says that Deku is like a dad with me. Does that mean you’re like a mom with me?”
V would deny that it took seven attempts to reboot herself and, as N found out, she would rip the head off anyone who said otherwise.

Izuku and V were engaged in happy conversation as the two made their way to Izuku’s home. Stopping their conversation to say goodbye, Izuku found his attention drawn to a note on the door. “Huh, mom’s had to go into work. She won’t be back until late tomorrow.”
“Well then.” V said, hand on her hip. “Mind if I keep you company a little longer?” Izuku smiled at V before opening the door and holding his hand out. “Don’t see why not.” With a smirk of her own, V followed Izuku into his home. Has anyone been watching, they would have seen the drone press her mouth against Izuku’s once again as the door closed before wrapping her arms around his head…

It was over.
Tensions between U.A and the HPSC had reached tipping point and the corrupt government body had tried to kidnap all of the worker drones from out of the school, earning the ire of the WHA in the process. In a blatant attempt at a power-grab, the Japanese HPSC allied with the Meta Liberation Army in direct opposition to both the government and the WHA, effectively starting a war.
It had been short, but brutal and several U.A students and former alumni had chosen to side against the school. Including Bakugou Katsuki who had actively tried to murder Eri solely for the fact she saw Izuku as a father.
As Izuku managed U.A’s forces, it had fallen to Eri’s adoptive mother to defend her. Bakugou had mocked V, belittled her and Izuku and somehow, despite everything, believed that he was still destined to be the world’s greatest hero. Such beliefs, that he was undefeatable and unmatched by anyone, were so firmly ingrained into his mind that even when V shoved one of her broken blades through his chest, Bakugou refused to believe that could be beaten, his delusional ranting only ending when the berserker finally collapsed and died.
Once she was sure Eri was safe, leaving her with Uzi knowing full well the teenage worker drone wouldn’t hesitate to murder anyone who threatened the child, V extended her wings and headed for where she knew Izuku was stationed. Her robotic heart stopped for a moment when she saw Shota Aizawa and Shinso Hitoshi, the two just as treacherous as Bakugou had been. A moment’s observation however showed that the two of them were restrained, Nori nearby and keeping a close eye on them. “Idiots tried to jump Izuku while he directed everyone. From what I’ve heard, that one,” Nori pointed her trademark weapon at Shinso. “-Used his quirk to make a good number of his ex-classmates kill themselves. For someone who kept using the villainous quirk’ excuse, he sure did a shit job of helping his case.”
“Is Izuku okay?” V asked the drone-turned-solver parasite, Nori rolling her single eye before pointing at the nearby door, V not even hesitating to kick it open.
“V?” Izuku said, stood over the table, several small pieces and papers over it. “Is everything okay?” V simply smiled before walking towards Izuku and hugging him. “Yeah, everything’s fine.”

Inko hadn’t been expecting her phone to ring at that point of the day, especially during work and she hadn’t been expecting Izuku to be calling her. He’d just had a date with V just under a week ago. Perhaps she’d asked him out for another date and in his excitement, her son had called her. Not wanting to ignore her son, Inko answered the phone. “Hello, Izuku?”
…
“What do you mean you have a quirk?”
…
“It lets you WHAT with robots!?”

“Wait, how did you find that out?”

“Bye Daddy, love you.” A teenage girl said as she left for her first day at U.A, robotic wings extending from her body. The girl looked into the sky, electric yellow eyes darting back and forward before leaping into the air, her bio-technological nature giving her enough strength to jump several metres before flapping her wings, Izuku watching as his second child flew towards U.A.
“She’s going to enjoy it there.” A voice said from behind Izuku and the pro hero turned to see the love of his life. Said love had modified herself over the years, notably taller with slightly thinner hips as well as longer hair, reaching to the base of her spine. “Think she’ll make friends?” V Midoriya asked her husband.
“Yeah.” Izuku said, recalling that Eri had made plenty of friends on her first day before pulling his wife into an embrace. “I think she will.” For a moment the two held their embrace, recalling how lucky they were to have a loving partner and just how much they did love each other and their children.
