Izuku’s face seems to beam once his offer is accepted, but who wouldn’t be happy about something like this? It’s the world’s safety nearly ensured now!
Or something like that.
“It’s pure pleasure working with you,” he jokes, body relaxing a little as he speaks. He’s not sure whether it’s a sign of genuine relief, or another element of the part he found himself playing to get here; but either way, it shouldn’t speak ill of him. If anything, it would only help. “I’ll be here when you shift ends, then,” he reassures and grabs the other’s hand. “Just tell me when.”
Who would have thought it could be this easy! One half of him is still worried the guy might be playing him here, especially with him saying yes so quickly, but… he wouldn’t be the only person led astray by the mere mention of money. Plenty of such types around the world.
“So, wanna give me your name now, since we’re temporarily partners?”
Of course the other would look so happy after Rody gave in to the deal. At least they were both getting something out of this. “Yeah yeah, sure it is.” There’s a small chuckle. “Will do. I hope you eat those fries while you wait.” They were probably cooled down completely by now; a shame really.
"Rody." Just the first name was fine. His partner certainly didn't need to know his last name. "And what do I have the pleasure of calling you?"
...
Well, he got the first half as promised. He'd never been more on edge heading home that night with that much money on him. It would have been the worst night to be robbed. Fortunately, it was a quiet walk home and he was back at his trailer in no time with dinner and his siblings waiting for him. Rody made sure to put the money away securely.
The next day, he spent hours at the library before his work shift, going through information on the chip he had. Of course this sort of information couldn’t be found out so easily. Why would it be if they wanted to keep it hidden?
Fast forward to after his shift, the brunette was now standing with the green-haired fellow in the alley next to the bar. Rody held out a folded up piece of paper towards his temporary partner. It was a print out of the layout of the Humarise main base, with the presumed lab circled on the diagram with a question mark next to it, and the location of the base written at the top of the paper.
“This is all the info I could get for you. Unfortunately, most of the scientists that worked on the bombs are either deceased or missing.” Well, one was in a coma. He waited for the other to grab the paper before continuing. “The base is far north of here. Maybe a five hour or so drive... Around a two hour flight if you have access to that sort of transportation.” If Freckles had access to an open account, who knew what else he had access to.
Rody’s eyebrows shot up, staring at Uraraka in disbelief. Even if she had some sort of point... Even if those with more powerful quirks could do more...
“It’s enough. At least I think it is.” Who knew how much importance Rody’s opinion really held. He could be saying nonsense. “You say only power can save people, but you’ve saved people yourself. You and Deku have completely different quirks, but you can both save people with them in your own way. Your quirk is your strength and you choose to use it for the better.”
“I really don’t think it’s average at all.” He glanced at Pino for a quick moment. “Your quirk has a ton of potential. You have a ton of potential.”
Ochako's hands turned to fists at her sides, brows furrowing before she shut her eyes. Of course he was right but...it made her feel like...she wasn't enough. "I...can't even make the life of my parents easier. And I don't want to feel like...like I'm not a good heroine." She sighed and opened her eyes. "It's just...I've seen how fragile this whole world is and I wish I could do more, even if I can't do anything for myself."
She put on a sad smile. "I guess that's a silly thought, huh?"

Every Time Deku Says “Rody”
Dub: 20
Sub: 33
Out bowling for a friend's birthday
I wonder who I am
Oblivious to Izuku's malfunctioning, Rody continued walking with his hands in his hoodie pocket, grinning as his eyes wandered.
It still felt unreal to be here. He wanted to take in every moment the best that he could.
Upon arrival, Rody watched Deku with a smile as he gushed over the cats. He only approached and stood next to the hero at the window once he questioned him.
"Oh, Pino's fine." Rody waved his hand as if to say not to worry about it. "Those cats can't get to her so there's nothing to be concerned about. There are a ton of stray cats back home too, so she's used to them."
With that said, Rody got a closer look at the cats, Pino peeking with interest as well. "Call me boring, but I've always liked the orange ones. Maybe because.. they're a happy color?"
rody-soul:
Rody leaned over in curiosity, trying to peek at his phone. He basically ended up being shoulder to shoulder with Deku from leaning so close.
He hummed at the suggestion, looking up at his own forehead. He thought it was nice that Deku was thinking of her. Pino hopped in place with a chirp. She was all for it.
Rody chuckled. “Looks like she likes the idea.” He peeked back at the map on the hero’s phone. “Well, let’s not keep her waiting.” He playfully bumped his shoulder with his own, starting to walk in the direction of the store.
Izuku didn’t realize how close Rody was close to him until he turned his head to speak. Or, at least, he tried to speak. If Izuku had leaned in any further, their faces would have touched! The thought was enough to make his cheeks grow hot.
So…close…!!
Still, he managed a smile when Pino expressed her enthusiastic approval of his suggestion. He was amazed with himself that he even managed to bump Rody’s shoulder back in return. “U-uh… right!” he stammered, trying his best not to let his flustered state get any worse.
He quickly pulled ahead so he could remember to breathe as he led the way towards the storefront. Why was his heart racing so much…?! It reminded him too much of when he’d blush around Uraraka.
Thankfully, the pet store wasn’t too far. He shelved his wandering thoughts and distracted himself by staring at the kittens in the storefront window. The kittens’ fur were of varying shades and patterns. One was orange striped, another was spotted with brown and black, and the most energetic of the three was mostly black save for a white “tux” at the front of her chest.
Izuku gasped loudly, his eyes growing brighter as he continued to watch them. “Oh, wow! They’re so cute!” He turned to look at Rody. “Is Pino alright with cats?” The last thing he wanted to do was cause the bird any distress.
