Int. Deku’s Room

 

 

Deku re-watches the tape of all might saving people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

C.R.E.A.M -  Wu- Tang Clan

 

 

‘Cash moves  everything around me. Cream. Get the money. Dolla Dolla bill y’all.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mercy Quirk: Speed

 

 

*runs faster than light.

 

 

-low constitution

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nola

 

 

It was hard. I almost broke one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Al

 

 

Is that boy coming to the lake house?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Al Quirk: Howl

 

 

*compelled to tell him anything

 

 

-Eye contact

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nola

 

 

Nope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Patty

 

 

Why not? He's real’ good on the grill. Plus he's not scared of a little fire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Patty Quirk: Dragon Breath

 

 

*Breaths blue fire

 

 

-Unknown

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

Mom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dani's Quirk: Quirkless

 

 

*ability to track the future by tarot cards.

 

 

*98% accuracy

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

Kay!

 

 

Ext. Nola’s family Home

 

 

Nola skates off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Int. Class 1A

 

 

The class writes notes.

 

 

Kiri

 

 

Psp!

 

 

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?

 

 

Int. locker room

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nola

 

 

Please don’t tell me, I’m catching a cold before a shoot. And my birthday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

Perv.

 

 

FAVORITE MISTAKE - Giveon

 

 

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-

 

 

 

 

 

 

Photographer

 

 

Alright, Hawks. Nola. This shoot is pretty direct. Animalized biracial couple. Show us your wild side. Give us sexy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nola

 

 

Right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

She drops her robe.

 

 

Nola Strex Quirk: Godzilla

 

 

*reptile features superhuman strength

 

 

 

 

 

 

Her scales cover her neck, breasts, sides, arms and legs. Almost completely covered. A tail slowly grows from her backside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hawks’ wings twitch.

 

 

The light flashes.

 

 

He sits on the throne.

 

 

The light flashes.

 

 

Nola sits on the floor between his legs.

 

 

She holds his face while he looks down at her.

 

 

The light flashes.

 

 

His wings spread.

 

 

A few of his feathers loosely fall.

 

 

The light flashes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Photographer

 

 

Perfect. Nola pull Hawks face closer to you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The light flashes.

 

 

She shifts turning towards Hawks getting closer.

 

 

Nola turns away from him.

 

 

Hawks grabs her waist. And guides her chin back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hawks

 

 

Look at me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Int. Bakugou’s Room -Night

 

 

Bakugou kisses Nola’s lips intensely. Nola pushes him back to catch her breath.

 

 

Bakugou

 

 

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.

Bakugou calls Nola.

 

 

Bakugou

 

 

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.

ch. 3

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.
