Melissa talks with Izuku!

After Izuku had made sure everyone was alright, and Inko had made sure that HE was alright while they were in one of the tower's medical rooms, Melissa looked at him as he relaxed back on a cot. "Deku, thank you. You helped save Papa..." she told him.

"I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did, without your gauntlet... though I seriously damaged it," he noted, holding it up. "It probably wouldn't hold up for much more than another hit at full power..." Melissa nodded in agreement, seeing the cracks in the gauntlet. "Still, it saved my life at the end there... doubt I could have stopped that attack without it, at least not without obliterating my own arm..."

"Saved both of our lives," Melissa noted with a smile, blushing as Izuku sat up. He was currently shirtless, so Momo could apply some ointments to cuts and bruises earlier. Her heart pounded as her mind raced. "And... It's fine that you damaged the gauntlet. I can mend it pretty easily, especially since all the pieces are still in place. Even if you broke it completely, it would still have been well worth it," she added, chuckling slightly. "Frankly, you used it as intended. Better the gauntlet than you."

Izuku nodded, before jumping as Bakugo gave a stifled yelp from a nearby cot as one of the medical bots wrapped up his wrists. Cracked both radius and ulna in both wrists from overuse of his Quirk. Go figure. "Be careful, you bucket of bolts!" he bellowed.

"Hey, what happened to the dress shoes I rented for ya?" Kirishima asked Bakugo from the cot right next to him. "Not to mention the tears in your suit, but some clothes manipulating Quirks can fix those. I have to pay for that shit if I can't return it!"

Bakugo grimaced and turned his head away. "Just send me the bill, Stupid Hair..."

"Sure you can afford it? I mean, the class swear jar's been bleeding you dry for practically the whole term..." Momo sniggered at Bakugo.

"Shut the fuck up, Ponytail!" Bakugo roared at her teasing. Everyone else was chuckling at Bakugo, though trying not to be too blatant about it.

"I should probably thank Bakugo too..." Melissa noted with giggle of her own. "But Deku... Can I have a quick word with you? Actually, with you and your girlfriends?"

Izuku blinked, trying to figure out what she wanted to ask about. "Okay, sure..." Thankfully, no one in the harem was hurt badly enough to warrant confinement after the medical bots had scanned them, just mostly needing to rest a bit. Or gorge herself in Momo's case. Indeed, she had a large burger at the moment after having assisted the bots, mainly with Izuku.

They stepped out into the hall after Izuku had put on a shirt. "So, what's this about?" Setsuna asked, though with her grin, it was clear she already had some idea.

Melissa turned to face them, and took a deep breath. "I... I know we all only just met, but... Would you guys all be interested in... Potentially including me in your group?" she questioned, looking away with a blush.

Of all the things Izuku had expected, that was definitely not one of them. His face invented a new shade of red as his brain basically went, "Does not compute." Swallowing dryly, he asked, "Um, what!?"
