CHAPTER START---

"So how do you feel?" Horizon asks.

He was currently sitting in a high end hotel room in Musutafu, looking at UA in the distance atop its hill while listening to some news reports on his phone.

"I still can't believe this is happening," a woman says as she takes the seat opposite him. An older woman approaching her sixties, hair already grey and face wrinkled, but dressed in a suit.

"That didn't answer the question."

"I'm feeling better than I have in years," she takes a deep breath. "I can finally breath freely again, and my back pains are gone...I can probably keep up with my grandkids now."

"Well, I'm good at what I do, I promised a full checkup and to fix whatever I found, and I delivered."

"Yes, but honestly when the big bad Horizon came knocking, I expected to be dragged off in cuffs, not negotiating a deal."

"Well, I can always do that later, but that doesn't get me what I want."

"Not like I could stop you, not like anyone could. The information you requested is in my car downstairs."

Horizon puts his phone down and looks toward the car, through the floor, "the papers?"

"Yeah."

SHAMBLES!

He warps away for a moment the reappears with a thick stack of papers.

'No wonder villains have their head in the sand, kids a monster,' she thinks but wisely doesn't say aloud.

"Handwritten, why?" he asks, already skimming them.

"You asked me for the manifests of all my clients hidden airfields across Japan, that's not something I'm willing to just download to give you a backdoor into my system. I have a business to run."

"Fair enough."

"How'd you find me by the way?" She asks. "I made sure the Pro Heroes and Police didn't even know I existed, but you just called my phone like it was nothing."

"Maybe you aren't as invisible as you thought..."

"Bullshit," she scoffs. "Someone talked, so who's the rat?"

"Everyone talks when I put hands on them, but all that matters is you're useful to me, so I'll keep you around."

"Was useful, I'm leaving Japan. I'm not foolish enough to stick around when UA's golden boy knows my address, that's not how I lasted this long."

"What you do is none of my business, just be gone by the end of the week, now back to my question about these being handwritten, not even printed, that's unusual, so..."

The woman sighs, "Tech."

"Tech?"

"That's a name that came up once or twice," she says. "My business was brining people in under the radar, big names and big players that had to get themselves across borders or move a lot of...higher tier items."

"I know, you dealt with guns and glory, no drugs and silly things like that, I've done my research obviously."

"Well you asked me to look into anyone by the codename Wolfram, got one hit from a landing strip up in the mountains to the west. Big guy, a foreigner, could control metal from the way he folded up the fence at the airstrip."

"That's the one."

"Yeah well his trail ran cold, and I figured if I helped you find him maybe you'd be honest and stick to your deal...at the time I still thought this was a setup, can't blame me for being paranoid."

"Understandable."

"Well everywhere this guy goes the cameras start glitching, telltale sign of someone else, a group called Tech, must be thousands of hackers working together. One of their men passed through Japan before about five years ago before heading back to America."

"For what?"

"To set up supply lines, linking Japan, America, Europe, Russia, Brazil, and China, plus some others, factories with vehicle and computer parts."

"Using their quirks to manufacture commercial goods, highly illegal without the proper licenses, which they probably don't have," Horizon says.

"But they pay, and since they're connected to seemingly everything, I didn't want to take the risk of exporting these files on Wolfram, hence me having to stay up and write it all out."

"I see," Horizon ponders this information for a moment. "Well you kept up your side of the agreement, we'll never mention this to anyone and you can get out of Japan as soon as possible."

"Thank you, and for the record, I much prefer when Pro Heroes ask for what they want instead of coming in swinging, even if your bedside manner needs a lot of work."

"I get that a lot, but does it really matter, you're a villain..."

"Criminal," she corrects him. "Villain means I used my Quirk to commit a crime, and since I'm not somehow committing crimes with my Acid Spit, I'm just a regular criminal."

"Technicalities, I've got work to do, have a good life."

SHAMBLES!

Now back in his room Horizon sits on his couch and puts his feet up, flipping through the stack of papers he just got.

Shrinking his Room to only encompass the dorms, he looks around for a moment.

He senses Sero playing video games with Kirishima and Ojiro in the common area. Shinso and Tokoyami finishing up some studying for tomorrow.

Deku and Bakugo are outside sparring, with Shoto and Uraraka watching them.

Then his focus jumps over to Momo's room where he senses her, Jiro, and a few other girls excitedly talking on her bed.

'I really hope that's not about me...' he thinks before cutting off his Quirk. 'It's probably about me.'

"Nezu's system is the most secure in the world, it'll be fine if I just scan these files," he mutters while taking out his phone.

---10 Minutes later...

Standing in front of a hologram being projected in his room, he sees a map of Japan with dozens of small dots across it.

"Too many places, Wolfram can use any of these as a cover if he cares about a place with a lot of metal that nobody would care about if it went missing."

He swipes his hand and the map refreshes, now completely blank.

"Ok, if I were him, then I'd assume that Horizon is protecting the Shields so I could just team up with the league, but the league hasn't shown up in weeks so that doesn't give me any new leads either."

He thinks for a moment, then opens the Hero Network on another hologram and gives a command, "map the most recent Nomu sightings."

Three dots appear on the opposite side of Japan, to the southwest shore, "been weeks since the last one...dead leads.

Well, atleast I know Wolfram is in Japan. No face or description, like hunting a ghost, but the only thing I can confirm is that my bait works. But he won't strike unless they leave UA or I'm not around. So best to just stay put and hope he gets impatient, then I'll kick his teeth in when he shows his face."

With an annoyed grumble he sits back and looks at the map.

"So much bullshit to deal with, all to play the perfect hero role...but I'll have this world groveling at my feet in no time.

Save the Shields- get David and Melissa Shield in my pocket, and instantly have All Might's most famous and outspoken supporter in my corner. Almost guaranteed hall of fame potential in that alone from the credit he'll bring me.

Maybe find a way to reverse the Nomu operation...unlikely, but atleast make an effort. Having Eraser Head on my side makes UA a lot more tolerable already, and hell a Nobel Prize could be fun to have.

Same with this," he raises his hand and activates his Quirk, allowing the energy mist to waft off his hand. "Figure out a way to cure things without being there and suddenly I'm at the top of the world...and I'm never coming down.

And they won't have a choice but to give me everything I want, and then some."

He then looks back up to the map, "if only I could make progress on this idiot first."

'Maybe if I just dip into Arsenal or Law Matani's resources,' he genuinely contemplates this. 'No, keep all three separate. Law is a businessman, Horizon is a perfect Hero, and Arsenal's connections are for criminals only...the only way I win is to have the world in my hand, then leave.

Give it all up and disappear to live a peaceful life somewhere. I almost can't wait for that day... But I will somewhat miss people tripping over themselves to reach me, this Pro Hero gig has its uses.'

With a wave of his hand, the map goes away as he neatly stacks up all his papers.

Then he taps his phone a few times, and another map of Japan shows up. This time with red lines covering some of the roads to blinking red nodes in major cities and some smaller towns. Even some places just off the shore were blinking.

"Orca and Edgeshot must have updated my map today, some of these routes are new," he can't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it. "First-year UA student, leading his own independent takedown of major contraband distribution lines across the country, so successful that even Pro Heroes jump onboard to get a piece of the action, Rank 1 here I come..."

And just as he's about to review their updates, a knock on his door pulls his focus away.

He expands his Room enough to sense Momo anxiously waiting outside his door.

A folder in her hands, wearing a sweater dress, and nothing below it.

'Huh, guess Mina got into her head, I'll need to thank Pinky later...now to check one item off the to-do list...'

CHAPTER START---

Hearing Momo knock on his door, Horizon pauses his hologram and decides to walk over instead of his usual Warping.

Not wanting to make her any more nervous than she already is.

But when he opens the door, just for a tiny moment, he freezes.

Because while his Quirk allows him to sense anything within his Room, it doesn't give him any sense of color.

So looking at Momo, wearing only a sweater dress, white with blue lining, and his logo proudly displayed at the bottom above her left thigh. And the faint pink lip-gloss on her lips, he's completely caught off guard.

He completely ignored the folder in her hands and just watches her for a moment, taking it all in as she nervously fidgets before him.

"Huh, I always knew I'd look good on you..." He nods to her outfit.

"Well, I, I was told you'd like it."

"Oh, believe me, I do," he steps aside for her to enter, and she scans the hallways quickly as if expecting someone to stop her or yell at her for what she's doing. "But I don't think that's licensed merchandise from my website..."

"Oh, I, made it myself, I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind."

"The view is well worth it, make whatever you like with my signature on it," Momo's cheeks blush slightly as she sheepishly nods.

"It still feels strange being in a boy's room," Momo says, following his lead as he gestures to the couch.

"You'll get used to being in here," he turns his back to her and begins making some adjustments to the hologram, which finally catches her eye.

"You have one of those in your room?"

"Nezu let me design my own room, and this helps me manage my current cases," he gestures to the map as he makes a few adjustments. "Look familiar?"

Momo thinks about it for a moment while trying, and failing -because of how nervous she is-, to get comfortable on the couch. "A map of Japan's highways?"

"Close," he saves his work and takes a seat to her left, resting his arm on the back of the couch. "I put this case together myself, very confidential, and what you're looking at is the known transport route for all manner of contraband, a lot of people work together so Heroes never learn about this, but I'm not just any hero."

"So how did you find out about this?" Momo's eyes widen in amazement as she speaks, carefully analyzing the map.

"I have my ways."

"Always one step ahead," she mutters, still trying to comprehend the magnitude of the map he's displaying.

"And I see you brought something too," he gestures to the folder beside her.

"Oh, well, you seemed interested in the rifle designs I came up with so I figured...you could see what the Shields and I have been working on together, they're almost ready."

"Maybe some other time, but right now it's already nine o'clock, so I'd rather just focus on you," he gently reaches out and lifts her chin so she's staring at him, and he can almost see the excitement in her eyes.

Then something many of the girls have been wondering pops into her head.

"Will you take off the visor?"

Horizon pauses for a moment, then retracts his hand, and she leans forward slightly, not wanting him to let go, before catching herself.

"I'll have to, but I'd rather you cover your eyes, for your own safety. I'm so handsome it could give you a heart attack."

Momo gives him a skeptical look, "I won't look if you don't want me to, I respect your privacy."

He considers it for a moment, ready to use his UA tie like a blindfold as he'd done with Ryuko at the summer camp. But before that, takes a different approach.

"Thank you, but honestly, how about I show you..."

Momo's breath hitches.

"But its a bit...intense, because of my Quirk, and you can't look for long, it can be dangerous for you."

"Well, if you're comfortable with it."

"I trust you," Horizon says.

And he slowly reaches behind his neck and deactivates his visor. Sensing it unbind from his body glove around his neck and begins folding away.

And Momo's eyes widen in genuine surprise at what she sees.

His face was still covered in the white matching ski mask as he always is, but through the eye holes were steady thick streams of the blue energy vapor.

His eyeballs themselves were bright blue, glowing like bulbs. And Momo finds herself squinting when looking at them for more than a moment.

A clever use of Booster Shot to create this effect, gives a bit more justification for his body glove and visor being Lifestyle Support Items, in the unlikely case that Momo gossips atleast.

And hopefully makes this entire situation easier for her to stomach.

"So, not what you expected?" he asks playfully, seeing her brain trying and failing to process this.

Without a word she slowly reaches up, and touches the energy vapor pouring out of his face.

She feels the cool and soothing sensation flowing through her finger, familiar, the same as his healing energy from earlier that day.

'It's a containment suit for his power...it must have taken him a lot to trust me like this,' she forms her own conclusions. 'I can't imagine what terrible things he's had to deal with to live like this...'

And in her eyes he's elevated that much higher, overcoming adversity she can't even fathom.

Giving him a joyful smile, so glad that he trusted her with such a secret, Momo lets some of her inhibitions go and leans forward, sitting up properly to clumsily crash her lips into his.

She feels a tingling sensation in her body before the soothing and relaxing feeling overcomes her, helping her to melt into his gasp much easier as his hands hold onto her.

Nearly two minutes pass before they finally separate, and Momo leans back completely out of breath with her arms around his shoulders, feeling one of his hands at the small of her back and another holding onto her rear.

"I'm so sorry, I should have asked you first," she says between quick breaths.

At this Horizon just chuckles, and she feels the vibration of it in her entire body, "Momo, I'm Horizon, if I don't want someone touching me, they can't touch me, and as you can feel, I'm very happy with how this is going..."

And that's all she needed to hear before greedily diving back in.

Twenty minutes later and Momo is straddling his lap, now wearing a comfortable blindfold she made in his colors, on his bed.

And it's only when he gently begins lifting the edge of her sweater dress, which only has her naked body under it, that she realizes exactly how badly she'd really wanted this.

Years of being prim and proper and never getting to have friends or talk to boys. Never even having so much as a crush.

And now she's here, in the bed of her first crush, dear she says her idol. Her gold standard for what she needs to become, and she's about to give him everything, to share the most intimate experience with him.

She wants more than anything to give in and finally cast aside her inhibitions, but that nagging feeling haunts her and she reaches for his hands, stopping him from undressing her as she holds onto them.

"Are you alright?" Horizon asks, and his voice hits her in a way that sets her blood on fire, her heart pounding in her ears.

"I just," she takes a few short breaths. "I don't know if, am I...am I being a good person."

"Momo, you're one of the best people I know, golden-hearted to a fault honestly, but you always doubt yourself."

"But, what am I doing?"

Horizon rolls his eyes, "babe---"

She feels her heart skip a beat, that word having such a strong effect on her, like honey to her ears.

"---you aren't doing anything, this isn't on you, it's on me, because you're just following my lead, right?"

And with those few words all the responsibility falls away from her, and her inhibitions with them.

Momo leans forward, grabbing his face and kissing him as he removes her sweater dress.

Showing off her naked body below...

The start of a very good night for both of them. And certainly one that they'd never forget.

Minutes later, as the lights are finally off so he can stop excessively burning energy, Horizon lays her down on his bed, the now disheveled mess that was Momo Yaoyorozu, to begin the rest of their night.

He does one last scan of the dorms, and notices something interesting, someone eavesdropping on them, and enjoying herself while doing so.

He has to stop himself from laughing and just decided to ignore it for now, because he had more than enough to focus on in his bed at the moment.

'One task at a time, I'll get to her later...'
