Int. Living room
Inku poors Dani tea.
Dani
Thanks, but you didn’t have to.
Inku
It’s the least I can do.
Nola and mercy roll around fighting.
Mercy
Take it back All Might would never win in a fight Bare Blood. Her ability is mega cool.
Nola
Who cares what his ability is. All Might doesn’t need power to beat that woman.
Mercy
They’re a man.
Nola
Oh, sorry. Hey, where’s Zuko.
Inku
Well.
Int. Deku’s Room
The room is dark. Nola and Mercy poke their heads in the room.
Mercy
This is creepy.
Nola
Hey, Zuko. Are you o-
Deku
Do you see? He’s so strong. I wish I was like him. The doctor said I have too many bones in my pinky toe to have a quirk.
Mercy
So you wanna just mope in your room for eternity. That’s way too depressing for a four year old.
Nola
Mercy!
Mercy
What? Are you going to tell me I’m wrong?
Nola
Zuko, What is it that you're worried about? If you don’t have a quirk then who cares.
Deku
I do! I care! If I don’t have a quirk how will I ever be a hero like All Might. All i’ve ever wanted was to be hero.
Nola slaps him.
Nola
Wake the hell up! Life isn’t fair! Yeah? Not every person is born with powers. And you have to get over that!
Mercy
Good speech sis.
Nola
Will you shut your pie hole Merc! Do you think All Might would wanna fight bad guys with someone that mopes around.
Deku
n-no.
Nola
Hell no!
Mercy
Oou i’m tellin’
Shut up Mercy! If being a hero is what you want. Then you can be my hero. But you have to go to the best school. And you can never ever
Present Day
Int. UA
Mina presses on Deku's desktop.
Mina
Family Cookout! Where?
Deku
Well, my Aunt is hosting it at the family lake house in Fujika for a family friend's birthday.
Denki
Ugh! A lake house in Fujika sounds fun.
Deku
Yeah it is. The family is really good at making good food like Mac n Cheese, Peach Cobbler, and my favorite. Ribs.
Mina
Umm.
Deku
And that's not even the best part of it. The uncles slamming Domino's on the folding table or maybe swimming in the lake with all the cousins.
Mineta
Swimming you say?
Mina
Midoriya, How old is your friend?
Deku
They're around the same age as us. Turning 16.
Bakugou walks in.
Deku
KacChan?
He grabs Deku's collar.
Bakugou
Give me your phone!
Deku
Wha- why?
Small explosions pop on Bakugou's hand.
Bakugou
Give it to me, or I'll kill you.
He walks off with Deku's phone.
Bakugou(o.s.)
Why?! That's not funny you damn Idiot! Ugh. UGGGH!!!! Stop fucking laughing! I'm gonna kill- No. That's not! Stop Crying damnit!
Mina
Did he seem a little different to you guys?
Denki
Yelling, being violent. And threatening to kill midoriya. Seems the same to me.
Mina
Deku. Can I go with you to your family trip? It sounds so fun.
Sero
If you don't mind, I'd like to go too.
Deku
Yeah, you're all welcome to come. My family makes way too much food anyway.
Mina
Yeah! Momo your swimsuit duty.
Todoroki
Midoriya, are you sure you want all of us to go? I mean to say, do you really want Bakugou around your friend’s family?
Deku
I'm sure he'll be fine. If he wants to even come.
Int. Hall
Bakugou holds Deku's phone tightly.
Bakugou
Just be careful next time. Don't block my number again. I know where you live. Stop, acting tough you'd never win even with that quirk of yours. Alright I have to get to class. Yeah, I love you t-
Kirishima
Bakugo? What are you doing?
The phone goes in smoke.
Bakugou
What the hell is your problem?
Kiri
Should I be asking you that? Why are you sitting in the hall moping like that?
Bakugou
I don't mope.
Kiri
Yeah. Seems like you are from here.
Bakugou
Well I'm not so shut the hell up.
Int. Classroom
He opens the door. And throws Deku his busted phone.
Deku
It's still hot!
Mina
Bakugou, do you know midoriya's cousin?
Bakugou
What?
Mina
She's turning 16 this weekend. We're all going to his family's lake house. You should come too. I bet there'd be cake.
Bakugou
What cousin?
Deku
Nola.
Bakugou
Nola... I'm going. But there won't be cake. I'll make sure of it.
Deku
I'm sure she'd be so happy to see you. But I guess I don't have a phone to call her from now.
Kiri stares at Bakugou.
Bakugou
What shitty hair?
Kiri
It's nothing.
Ojiro
Yeah, he's definitely acting weird.
Mina
Right?
Bakugou (V.O.)
Nola, huh?
Int. Bathroom
Nola sneezes. she rubber bands the ends of her french braids.

Mercy
Nola, you're gonna be late for your shoot if you keep worrying about your hair.
Nola
It might not matter to you because you Don't have hair to begin with.
She looks at the locket hanging from the jewelry stand.
Int. Kitchen
Nola grabs a titanium plate. The locket hangs from her neck.
Mercy
And my life couldn't be more simple and easy. I’m surprised you can braid with those nails.

Nola
It was hard. I almost broke one.

She blows blue flames onto the plate.
Nola
We haven't really been as close since he started the super hero school.
Al
That's a bummer sweet heart hope for his sake you two talk it out.
Nola
Me too.
All the beacon vanishes.
Mercy
Yeah right. You guys talk on the phone like everyday.
Nola takes two pieces from Mercy’s pile of meat.
Nola
Shut up. No we don't.
Al
Putting that aside, have you thought of where you want to intern.
Nola
I'm beat. All the good agencies in this city haven't called back. And the ones that did want me to relocate to Tokyo.
Al
Well that's not good especially with your quirk.
Nola
God this sucks!
The floor, counter, handles, and table tops are made of titanium. And so is her chair.
Al
Yes. Having such a strong quirk I would've expected you’d to want to be a hero like that Midoriya boy.
Nola
Me? Yeah no thanks. I just want to live a fairly comfortable life as an actress. Maybe get rich and successful. Not fight with scary men everyday.
Mercy
Criminals come in all genders, Nola.
Nola
Doesn't matter. I love what I do. And I don't want to be anything else.
Dani
And with my help you'll never have to.
Nola

Dani
Al. I need you to call Kiara to see what's going on with the food.
Dani
I don't know why that girl is always messing around. Not taking anything serious. Just like you Mercy.
Mercy
I tr- ah what the hell. There's no point in lying to you.
Al
She says she’s on her way to the butcher.
Nola kisses her Patty’s head.
Dani
The cards say something unexpected is bound to happen today. Something to do with cake.
Nola
Oof. Well, it’s time for me to go to my shoot. Bye now.
She hugs Dani and daps up Al.
Shines Mercy’s head before she could slap her hand away.
Dani
Try to get here before 5.
Nola

Kirishima to Sero.
Sero gives Deku a note.
Note
Hey Izuko, what’s up with Bakugou. He's been acting strange all day.
I saw him telling someone he loves them on the phone.
Hey do you think he has a girlfriend?<(`0`)\ data-tomark-pass >
-Kirishima
Deku(v.o.)
KacChan has a, A girlfriend?
Looks up. Bakugou clinches the back of his neck.
Deku writes.
Kiri opens the note.
Note
No offense but KacChan with a girlfriend doesn’t seem realistic.
Maybe you misheard him.
-Midoriya
Deku
Who’d date KacChan?

Nola puts her skates in her locker. And puts on her heels. She sneezes.

Int. Photo Studio
Nola walks in.
The makeup team brushes up on Hawks’ makeup.
Celvia
Takami! Where the hell have you been. I went to your hotel and you were nowhere to be found.
Hawks
I’ve been here. Make up, hair. It takes longer than you’d think, Doll Face.
Nola bows.
Nola
Good Morning everyone my name is Nola Strex, I hope we have a good shoot today.
Hawks watch her.
The make up artist grabbed her arms guiding her to the makeup.
Hawks
Who is she?
Celvia
She’s the model shooting with you today.
Hawks
She looks a little young for a shoot like this.
Celvia
It’s not like you're gonna be doing anything crazy.
Hawks
Damn.
Celvia

Nola steps on the black wallpaper.
Hawks follows her.
The lights are blinding.
Hawks
Is this your first time?
Nola turns to Hawks.
He smiles at her.
The light flashes.
Nola
No. It’s not. I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name.
Hawks
Keigo Takami. My hero name is-

The light flashes.
His wings spread.
A few of his feathers loosely fall.
The light flashes.

Hawks
Look at me.
Int. Bakugou’s Room -Night

Look in eyes. Don’t you dare look off again.
He kisses her.
His hand slides up her neck.
Int. Photo Studio
Hawk slides his hand down her neck.
Nola faces him. He embarrassed her while glaring at the camera.
Photographer
Yes. Hawks you have to protect her. Nola gives more defenseless in your look.
She places her ear to Hawks chest.
Hawks holds her tighter.
Ext. Park
Bakugou pulls her into his jacket.
Bakugou
Dumbass. Did you come all the way here without an umbrella?
Int. Photo studio
Nola clings to Hawks shirt.
He looks down at her. Shut and teary eyes.
Later...
Photographer
And that’s a wrap everyone.
Nola ties her robe closed.
Hawks
You did great.
Nola
Thank you.
Hawks
It was like you weren’t fazed about anything I did. Finally someone professional I’ve worked with. My agents kept giving me newbies.
Nola
I’m sorry, Mr. Hawks. I lied to you before. This was my first ever couples shoot.
Hawks
No!
Nola
I didn’t know what else to say. My mother said the best thing to do when working with a pro is to be professional.
Hawks
Well, I guess I shouldn’t be upset. It was one of the best shoots I’ve done in a while.
Nola
Really? My nerves were getting to me the whole shoot.
Hawks
Don’t down yourself. You got somethin’ kid. Own it.
Hawks walks away.
Nola’s glows green.
Her scales disappear leaving her dark skin.
Ext. School entrance

Scales, answer the damn phone. We need to talk about your-
TEXT From MY T-REX
I’m on the phone right now. Call me when you're out of school.
Bakugou kicks a pole.
Deku
Hey KacChan?
Bakugou
What?
Deku
I wanted to ask you something, if you don’t mind. Well. Me and Kirishima were talking earlier and well. I wanted to know if what he said makes sense to you.
Int. Locker Room
Phone ring.
Nola
Merc, you won’t guess who I just met!
Mercy(o.s.)
Who?
Nola
Hawks, the No. 3 I mean No. 2 hero.
Int. Mercy’s Rooms
The walls covered the Hawks wallpapers and figurines
Merc
What?!
Nola (o.s.)
Yeah he was the guy for my shoot.
Merc
Why didn’t mom tell you he was going to be at your shoot.
Ext. Street
Nola paces back and forth on the sidewalk.
Nola
I don’t know. Maybe because she knew I’d be too embarrassed to pose with him like we’re going to kiss!
Merc screams.
Mercy
You were that close.
Nola
Yes. Yes! Oh my god. We were like-
Her phone vibrates.
Incoming call from BAKUHOE
A picture of Bakugou brushing Nola’s hair into a ponytail in her bathroom is her screen saver.
Mercy
If you see him again around can you please get his autograph for me?
She declines the call.
TEXT To BAKUHOE
I’m on the phone right now. Call me when you're out of school.
Mercy
Are you listening to me, Nola?
Hawks walks out. And sees Nola texting.
Nola
Yeah, get Hawks’ autograph.
Hawks
Me?
Nola eyes turn goldish green.
NOLA
Merc, hold on.
She holds her hand on the mic.
Nola
Hey.
Hawk
So. You want my autograph?
Nola
Yes. I mean, no. Shit. Sorry. I really mean my sister. She’s a big fan of yours. Actually I was just talking about you to her on the phone and-
Hawks laughs.
Hawks
You're honestly the cutest thing. What’s her name?
Nola
Mercy.
Hawks takes her phone.
Hawks
Hey, Mercy. This is-
Mercy
(Screams)
Int. Mercy’s Room
She runs around her room.
Mercy
Oh my god! Your- you're Hawks!
Hawks
Damn right.
Mercy
I can’t believe you're talking to me.
Ext. SideWalk
Nola watches Hawks on her phone.
Hawks
(laughs) … I love this. You sound beautiful. Maybe one day I can meet-
He pulls the phone from his ear.
Nola
What happened?
Hawk
I guess she hung up.
He shows her the screen.
Time 3:45
Nola
Holy crap, it’s so late.
She turns away from him.
Hawks
Hold on a second, kid.
He takes her hand.
Nola
Yes?
Hawk
Your phone.
Nola
Oh, yeah. Thanks.
She takes her phone.
Nola
And thank you for talking to my sis. Bye now. Hope to work with you again!
She skates off.
Int. Park
Bakugou
Spit it out Shitty Deku!
Deku
Do you have someone that you like? Maybe someone like NolaChan?
Bakugou
Where the hell is this coming from?
Deku stares at him.
Bakugou
Ugh! What's it to you? Why the hell are you sniffing behind me all of a sudden!
Deku
I guess I'll never get my answer. Because, you're not here. Mentally of course.
Bakugou
Are we gonna talk or fight?
Deku
Stop playing KacChan, it's not funny anymore. For a few weeks now, you laid off teasing me as much. I Should've picked up on the facts sooner. Especially, when I saw your mom and Nola in the grocery store last month.
Bakugou
What the hell are you getting at?
Deku
So, it’s true.
Bakugou
And, so what if it is? Are you going to do something about it. I knew you had a thing for scales when I met her. But I didn’t care. Because I knew I’d have her. And I do.
Deku
Damnit KacChan! Why the hell did you have to like her? You had everything when we were kids?
Bakugou
I’ve told you too many times you’ll never beat me. You're the one who thought you had a fighting chance.
Deku
Well, I guess there’s only one way to settle this then.
Ext. Creek
Nola climbs on the boulder and Deku holds her tail.
Deku
Be careful Nola.
Nola
I’ll be fine just keep a hold of my tail alright.
Deku missteps.
Pulls Nola’s tail down with him.
She screams.
Kacchan grabs her leg.
Kacchan
Your both stupid! Why did you climb that dumb rock anyways?
Nola
Zuko are you okay?
Kacchan
Uh, hey I was-
Deku
I’m fine, I just scraped my knee.
Nola
That looks bad. Maybe we should go ask your mom for a band aid.
Deku
No, I’m okay don’t worry.
Kacchan
Hey!
Nola
Even so, a scrape like that could get gross.
He pulls her tail and then her hair.
Kacchan
I was the one that saved you! You better say thank you.
Nola
Ew, get your hands out my hair. Meanie!
She swats her tail at him.
He pops her tail with his explosions.
Nola starts to cry.
Deku
Hey, stop Kaachan!
Kacchan
Why are you crying?!
Deku
You shouldn’t hit girls, kacchan.
He pulls her arm.
Ext. Sidewalk
Bakugou waits at the crosswalk.
Bakugou's phone chimes.
Bakugou’s Phone
Nola on his homepage.
MY T-Rex Outgoing
Nola(o.s.)
Hello?
Bakugou
Was there a reason you didn’t tell me about your birthday.
Ext. Driveway
The Strex family unpacks the truck.
Nola
Well hello to you too. My loving charismatic boyfriend.
Bakugou(o.s.)
Stop joking around.
Nola
(sighs)
Can we talk about this another time. I’d rather talk to you about something that isn’t stressing me out.
…
Nola’s scales lift.
Nola
Please, don't do this. Not now.
Bakugou(o.s.)
You invited that damn shitty Deku. But not your own boyfriend. So yeah Nola, we’re doing this now.
Nola
Okay, fine. Three weeks we were at your place, after. I told you my birthday was around the corner. Do you remember what you said?
…
Nola
I was so scared when I found out the league of villains kidnapped you. But you can’t tell me that it didn’t change you. I don’t know what they did to you but. I tried so hard to be there day end and out. But there’s so much verbal abuse a girl can take kacchan!
Bakugou(o.s.)
So now you're too weak to just be here for me. So you decide to invite him instead.
Nola
God. Listen to yourself! You act like it’s always you or him for me.
Bakugou(o.s.)
Because it is! It always has been! Even when we were growing up you always picked him over me.
Tears stream down her cheeks.
Bakugou(o.s.)
Dammit stop crying! I’m the one who should be upset!
Nola
You're so irritating. I was a good friend for Zuko. You kept teasing him. I was the one who pulled him out of that depression. I put him first. Because no one could. But before I knew it,
Int. Freezer aisle
Mitsuki holds the cart still. Nola reaches for the ground beef.
Mitsuki
Thank you for helping me out with the groceries.
Nola
Oh no you don't have to thank me. I wish I could do more. But my quirk would probably have me break you're kitchen supplies.
Mitsuki
(sighs)
I'm surprised that you ended up with my loud mouthed hot tempted son. And also that you didn't end up going to UA. With such an a quirk like yours.
Nola
My mom and dad both encouraged me to try my luck in being an actress. There still isnt alot of rep for animalistic quirked black women on the big screen, plus I never thought I looked good in leotards.
Mitsuki and Nola laugh.
The cart stops.
Deku stares at Nola.
Deku
Nola? Is that you?
Nola
Zuko.
Deku
Mrs. Bakugou hi. It's been awhile.
Mitsuki
It has. Well, I'll let you too catch up.
Nola
Huh?
Mitsuki
I'll go grab the taco shells.
Nola
Wha wait a second, Mrs. Bakugou.
Mitsuki
See you at checkout, Nola!
Deku watches his feet.
Deku
So you and Kacchan's Mom.
Nola
Oh. Yeah, I guess I'll have dinner at their place tonight.
Deku
I guess that makes sense.
Nola
What?
Deku
Oh. Nothing I just thought seeing you just caught me off guard is all. I haven't seen you since that night.
Nola nervously smiles.
Patches of scales cover the face and hands.
Deku
Don't worry. I haven't told anyone about what happened.
Nola
It's not that. I guess seeing you here caught me off guard as well. I heard you saved Katsuki from a slush.
Deku
Well I didn't really do anything. My legs just moved by themselves and-
She bites down on her lip.
Nola
Thank you. I bet you'll be a great hero one day. Even if he never says it. You're the only real friend that guy has.
Deku
Nola. You're crying.
Nola
Sorry, I guess the whole Katsuki being kidnapped is really getting to me. You two are becoming strong everyday. But things like these get to me so easy ya know.
Deku
You really care about Kacchan.
Nola
Of course! I care about both of you.
Deku
(Smiles)
Yeah. But growing up, you always scolded him like his mother. It was always so funny.
Nola
You think? Remember the first time he popped my tail?
Deku
How can I forget? I had to drag you back to my house with you kicking and screaming.
They laugh.
Nola watches Deku laugh while her own smile fades when she sees his deep scars on his arms into a blank expression.
Nola
Hey, you should come to my birthday cookout in the summer.
Deku
You're still doing that?
Nola
Yeah. Like always BBQ, friends, family, and music. Guess fish fry as well. You can bring whoever.
Deku
Okay. Yeah, it sounds fun.
Nola
Great. Well I have to get going. She's probably looking for me. But, before I go.
She writes her number on his hand.
Nola
My number, I want to hear what happens at that new school of yours.
Deku
Yeah. Of course.
She runs off.
Deku
Bye.
Nola stops holding her mouth.
Her tail rips out. And knocks things off the shelf.
Ext. Train station
Bakugou pushes the people out of his way.
Nola(o.s.)
Zuko didn’t look like anything special anymore.
Bakugou
So. What does this mean-
Int. Nola's room
Her back is pressed to the door.
Bakugou(o.s.)
For us.
Nola
What do you mean?
Bakugou
Do you want me to spell it out for you.
Nola
Do we really have to have this fight the day before my birthday?
…
Nola
Katsuki?
Ext. Suburbs
Bakugou walks in the street.
Bakugou
Your right. We shouldn't do this now.
Nola (o.s.)
It feels like everytime the fights get worse. And one or the other loses interest.
Bakugou
You're the only one that does that.
Nola sighs.
Nola(o.s.)
You do know how much I-
Bakugou
Stop talking!
He grabs the vines.
Nola
Who the hell are you talking to like that?!
Ext. Nola's family backyard
Bakugou climbs up the vines to her bedroom window.
Bakugou
It's not my fault if your rabbit eared sister wakes up.
Nola
What are you talking about?
Bakugou
Just open the damn window dumbass.
Int. Nola's room
Nola pulls the blinds up.
Nola
I don't get this.
His head pops from the window.
Int. Nola's room
He jumps inside.
Nola is shocked.
Nola
How did you know where the cabin was?
Bakugou
Don't worry about that.
Her back to the wall. His arm pinning her to the wall.
Bakugou
Take it off.
Her scales cover her body completely. Her tail is thick. And her claws are sharp.
Bakugou
Look I know it was selfish of me to steal you from him, but you have to understand.
He grabs her locket.
Bakugou
I don’t plan on giving you back.
Nola
That’s what all this was about?
Bakugou
No.
Nola
Midoriya isn’t who I love anymore.
Ext. Deku’s House
Deku drapes a coat on her head.
Nola wraps her arms around him.
Bakugou watches from across the street. He puts his hood on.
Int. Nola’s Room
He pulls down on it.
She pushes her hand on his chest.
Bakugou
I don’t think I’ll ever believe that from you.
Nola
You're so threatened by him that you don’t believe me now.
He grabs her chin.
Nola(v.o)
My name is Nola Strex, my quirk is Godzilla. And this is, well my Katsuki.
Bakugou
Hell no!
Nola
To what?
...
Bakugou punches the wall behind her.
Nola(v.o.)
Our relationship is very complex. To sum it up. He and I want to be together. But, he doesn’t trust me. And I can't care less. But I promise. We are in love. In our own way.
Bakugou
You fucked us up.
Nola
Are you serious?
Bakugou
...No.
Nola(v.o)
Because I’m not fond of flashbacks I’ll just give you a recap. I was in a very uncomplicated relationship with my childhood friend Izuko Midorya. But Katsuki claims he stole me from him. I moved away and this dumbass gets kidnapped. Now our. whatever this is got like. This. Take notes, this is what happens when you stay in the ‘talking faze’ for too long.
Nola
I’m so done with this.
Nola locks the door.
Pulls on the cover.
Nola
I had a really good day before you called.
Bakugou
What did you just say?!
Nola
You know you did too.
Bakugou
How can you be so cold to me?
Nola
I’m just tired, Katsu. You said you stole me right? And even when I left the city we stayed in this weird place. Are you sure you respect your own decision?
Her head hits the pillow.
Bakugou
I’m in love with you. If that’s not enough for us to be together, I don’t know what is anymore.
Nola
Then. Do you wanna sleep with me?
Bakugou
Sex doesn’t fix anything, dumbass!
Nola
Why did you come to my room in the middle of the night?
Bakugou
To talk to you.
Nola
We were talking on the phone.
Bakugou
So you didn’t miss me?
Nola
Of course I did. I still do. But you're not the you I want to see right now.
Bakugou
If you want a ***** footed boyfriend then you should just go back to Deku.
Nola
I guess I’ll just ask Midoyria to sleep with me.
She reaches out to her phone on the nightstand.
He towers over her body.
He slaps her phone on the ground.
Bakugou
Come again?
Nola
The best thing about Izuko was his warm cuddles. They always heated me up.
*Most reptiles have cold blood causing cold air to be deadly for them.
Bakugou
So by sleep with you, you mean.
Nola
Sleep. It’s late and I’m cold.
He wraps his arms around her under the covers.
Bakugou
What was so good about your day?
Nola
I can’t tell you.
Bakugou
Why not?!
Nola snuggles into his chest.
Nola
You're so hot, it’s almost overwhelming.
Bakugou
Then you're too close.
Nola
Stop moving away!
Her breasts hit against his chest.
Bakugou
Shit! It’s hot as hell in here!
Nola
Good.
MORNING
Bakugou pulls closer to a stuffed bear. To open his eyes and see her not there.
...
Nola clips her claws.
Bakugou sits up and watches her from the vanity mirror.
Nola smiles. Picks up her hair product. And sections off her hair.
Bakugou isn’t in bed.
He pulls her neck back. And Spiderman kisses her.
Bakugou
Happy birthday, Teddy bear.
She pulls him back down.
Kissing him with tongue.
He separates to catch a breath.
His face is red.
Nola
Can you part the back for me?
He grabs the rat tail comb and parts from the peek of her ear.
Bakugou
Who the hell taught you how to kiss like that?
Nola laughs.
Bakugou
Stop laughing at me.
Nola
You're just so cute, I like this side of you. Blushing after a kiss is so like you.
Nola hands him two hair ties.
Bakugou
I don’t blush.
He brushes her hair into a loose bun.
Nola grabs the gel off the vanity.
Bakugou snatches it out of her hand.
He takes some and puts it on the back of his hand.
Nola
Hey. Why can’t I do my own hair?
Bakugou
You can’t part for shit. And I have everything so there’s no point of fighting me on it.
Nola
So now you're a pro on styling 4c black girl hair.
Bakugou
Just shut up and let me do your hair.
Nola
Well then I want bando knots.
Bakugou
That’s a **** no. You're getting four braids.
Bakugou walks off.
Bakugou
Where’s your hair box?
Nola
The closet.
A knock on the door.
They turn to each other.
Ext. Cabin
Town cars drive up.
Mineta, Deku, Mina, ochako.
Kirishima, sero, momo, Kaminari and Satou.
Int. Nola’s room
Nola opens the door.
Mercy
Bakugou.
Mercy sitting on Nola’s dresser.
Mercy
I would say it’s a surprise to you but-
She points at the bed.
Bakugou
What the hell. You little creep.
Nola
Does mom and dad know?
Mercy
That he’s here? Hell yeah, Dad’s seizing in the kitchen after mom placed the cards on the table. But mom’s laughing her *** off. She didn’t tell him that you guys didn’t-
Nola
Mercy. Out.
Mercy
Fine. But I think it’s time for guys to come downstairs.
Int. Cabin
Bakugou shakes Al’s hand.
Al
So, you came after all, Nola was so shy to introduce you to us she told us you weren’t invited.
Nola
Because he wasn’t.
Al
So tell Katsuki, where did you sleep last night?
Bakugou
… in her bed.
Al
Is that all you did?
Bakugou
Yes.
He covers his mouth.
Al
Good to hear.
Nola covers his eyes.
Nola
Dad, you seriously want me to bring people around you? Stop using your quirk on people.
Al
It’s not my fault.
Nola(v.o)
My dad Al Strex, he’s a journalist. And his quirk is called howl. It only works if someone gives him eye contact. But only direct eye contact.
Dani shoves on his glasses.
Mercy
I’d hate to be you right now.
Bakugou
Morning Merc.
Mercy
Morning.
The blueberries disappear.
Mercy in the spin chair.
Nola(v.o.)
My older sister, Mercy. Quirk; speed racer. But for some reason her body stopped growing three years ago. So she looks around my age. But she’s 19.
Dani places a card on the table.
Dani
We have guests?
Nola(v.o.)
That’s my mom Diana Strex, he owns a psychic voodoo witchie store. Actually my mom is Quirkless. But she’s actually really great at reading the future by tarot cards. So good people forget she’s quirkless.
Nola
Yeah, aren’t your friends from UA coming.
Ext. Lake house
Bakugou opens the door.
Ochako
Is your family friend rich or something, Izuko?
Deku
Ugh, well I don’t really-
Mina
Bakugou? What are you already doing here?
Kiri
Bakubro!
Mercy and Nola stand on the porch.
Dani
We'll be at the sight.
Al
Bye bumpkin. Keep an eye on your sister.
Nola
Yeah sure.
Mercy
Is that!
Mercy picks Deku up from behind.
Mercy
Zuko!
She laughs and spends him around.
Deku
Mercy?
Mercy
Have you always been so small.
Deku
I don’t think- wait if you're here then.
Patty starts blowing fire at deku’s feet from her wheelchair. He runs away screaming.
Kiri
Why are you here so early?
Bakugou
I should be asking you guys that? The party doesn’t start till later.
Denki
Well, we didn’t have anything else to do.
Momo
So we decided to come and meet everyone.
Nola
Well, then. My name is-
Mineta
Leg that never ends, sexy figure, gorgeous black skin, snake-like eyes with the finishing touch of randomly placed scales! Your- You’re
Blood gushes out his nose.
Mineta
Nola Strex! The model from Mad Doll.
Ochako
You're a model?!
Sero
No wonder, you're really pretty.
Nola smiles.
Nola
Why thank you.
Bakugou rolls his eyes.
Momo
I think I remember my mother saying something about Mad Doll.
Nola
Hopefully something good, my job is pretty lucrative with negative backlash.
Mineta
Nola’s an aspiring lingerie model. She mostly works for Mad doll but our mother is her manager.
Denki
Makes sense of how you know her then.
Mineta
I’d do anything to have your foot pressed against my face and the ground. Revealing a short moment of your underwear under your skirt.
Nola continues to smile nervously.
Bakugou pulls her closer into his chest.
Blocking Mineta from Nola.
Bakugou
Hey creep juice. My girl doesn’t do shit like that! So I’ll be the one to kill you instead.
Mineta
No thanks I want only sexy pieces of *** like Nola to step on me.
Nola holds Bakugou back.
Bakugou
I’ll fucking kill ‘em!
Nola
Katsu calm down, you can’t beat up your friends.
She looks at them while they stare at her confused.
Nola
Well, is anyone hungry? Katsu was going to make me and my family breakfast!
Bakugou
Like hell-
Int. Dining room
Bakugou in pure bliss cooks the eggs bacon and waffles to perfection.
Ochako bites into her egg whites.
Ochako
So good. I've never had mushrooms in egg whites before.
Mercy
Eww. You can have mine. Bakugou only makes food like this because of Nola's supermodel diet.
Nola
Dont say it like I'm forcing him to make all this.
Mina
Not that I'm complaining i love to see Bakugou not yelling for a change
Nola
I won't be for long. He and I will disagree on a lot for the next few days. Especially, because of this morning.
Momo
Hold on a second. You two are dating?
Mina
Yeah, I've been wondering that too.
Nola
(smiles)
Well, he and I want to. But, our beliefs in what goes in a fully functioning relationship.
Mina
So you guys just like each other.
Kiri
What the hell dude. You didn’t even tell me you had someone you liked all this time.
Bakugou / Nola
No, it’s not like that. We don’t just like each other.
Mina
So you're both. In love?
Bakugou looks over to Nola and blushes.
Denki
(laughs)
Bakugou, in love? Yeah right!
Bakugou
What the hell is that supposed to mean.
Sero
Sorry but that just doesn’t seem like your kind of personality.
Nola watches deku and mercy laugh and talk.
Nola
How could I be so rude, I never ask what your names were.
Mina
Oh, i’m sorry. My name is Mina, and to your right is Momo, Ochako, Satuo, and well you already know deku.
Nola
Deku? Why would guys call Zuko such a rude name?
Bakugou
Because this dumbass thought it was a good hero name.
Nola
Oh. So it's just a nickname?
Deku
Yeah.
Bakugou pulls Nola's t shirt.
Bakugou
Nola.
Nola
What?
He drags her off.
Nola swarms.
Nola
Where are taking me? I want to talk with your friends somemore.
Mercy
Well. My name's Mercy. I'm a second year college student.
Deku
Your in college?
Mina
Whao what do you study?
Mercy
Quirks actually. More importantly different types of speed quirks.
Mina
We have a classmate with a quirk like.
Mercy
Really? Do you think he's gonna come tonight?
Momo
Probably, he said something like it's rude to invade a strangers family gathering. But I did see him in this really obvious getup on the connecting train.
Mercy laughs.
Int. Hallway
Bakugou and Nola stare at each other.
Nola
Why?
Bakugou
Because, I said not too.
Nola
He's my friend. You can't just tell me to ignore him for the whole weekend.
Bakugou
I still don’t get why you fucking invited him. Knowing you, you might just be doing this to get me angry.
Nola
Get a grip, not everything I do is about you. Narcissist.
Bakugou storms away.
Nola
Katsu, wait.
Int. Kitchen
Denki and Kirishima laugh at Mineta.
Nola pulls Bakugou's arm.
Nola
You're acting like a child right now.
Bakugou
Let go, Scales.
Nola
Just talk to me.
Bakugou leaves.
They all flinch when the door slams.
She yells and drops to the floor.
Mercy
Sis?
Deku
Hey are you okay?
Nola
I'm fine. He's just. So, I can’t understand him.
Deku grabs his shoes and leaves.
Mina
So. Bakugou's a shitty boyfriend.
Mineta holds his hand out. Sero slaps a 20 in his palm.
Momo confort Nola.
Nola
I’m so sorry you all had to see that.
Kirishima
No, it’s fine. We’ve all seen how explosive Bakugou is.
Mina
Can I ask? Why he stormed off.
Nola looks up to them all.
Later…
Denki
Wow, I guess that makes a lot of sense of why he left.
Mina
But if you and Deku broke up before Bakugou knew why he thought he stole you from Deku?
Ext. Lake
Bakugou throws rocks at the lake.
Deku
Hey, kachan.
Bakugou
What?
Deku
I’m guessing that she didn’t tell you what happened that night.
Bakugou
I knew you saw me.
Deku
Yeah, but it’s not what you think.
