The Symbol of Peace Agency, the biggest Hero agency in all of Japan. It was founded by All Might himself years ago. The agency was highly elite, scouting the best of the best upcoming Heroes, not only limited to UA alumnus. Every Hero worked either individually or in teams and had sidekicks who worked under them in their division — every UA alumni who joined when the agency was founded had a division of the agency almost like their own agency within the agency.

The building was equipped with the latest and greatest technology and overall equipment for Heroes and sidekicks alike. Other than the dozens of offices and bunk rooms, there were three stories of a fully equipped gym for all sorts of workouts and Quirk training, an enormous bath house, and a very impressive workshop where their resident inventor/item support person resigned.

Currently, Momo was making use of the baths. She was in one of the many showers, cleaning her body of all the dirt, blood, and over all grime she had accumulated during her eventful day. Thoughts about what she had witnessed today swirled within her mind. Being a Hero was hard sometimes, and she specialized in rescue and support so she dealt with those who had been more victimized. She fought Villains too just like everybody else, but with her Quirk helping others was the best use for it — and today she was able to save many lives.

Today could have been much much worse.. she thought, turning the shower off. She remained in place, staring down at the knob, letting the droplets of water run down her bare body. It's always like this after a day like this.. Disasters happen and there are always people we can't save.. Unfortunately..

Momo shook the thoughts from her mind, choosing to think about Shouto and look forward to their night together. He'll be making dinner tonight. Her lips upturned at the image of him cooking their food, wearing his apron that she had bought for him that said 'Kiss the Cook' across his chest.

She exited the shower, grabbing a towel and drying her body before dressing herself in the warm attire she had brought with her. By the time she had left the room and entered the elevator it was nearly eight o'clock and completely dark outside. I forgot my purse in the office.. I hope I'm not keeping Shouto waiting..

The elevator dinged and stopped on the twelfth floor — her and Shouto's floor. She exited, walking past several other offices that belonged to their many sidekicks, a large rec room/lounge, and lastly she arrived at her and Shouto's enormous office — one large enough that it was basically a loft.

Momo entered her office and stopped, surprised to see that she had two guests waiting. "Kyouka. Denki. What are you two doing here?" she asked when she laid her eyes in her close friends who were sitting on the long couch that was facing a wall sized TV.

Kaminari and Jirou worked at the agency along with them. They had their own division just like Momo and Shouto had, and their own floor was the one just above theirs. All the Pros who had their own divisions had an entire floor to themselves — several of the Heroes paired off in couples like Momo and Shouto, Kaminari and Jirou, while others who were together chose to keep their divisions separate such as Deku and Uraraka, and Bakugou and Kirishima.

Jirou looked over to Momo, standing up and approaching her. "I saw that monster attack on the news," she said wrapping her arms around her friend in a hug. "I heard everything that happened. Are you and Shouto okay?" she asked, parting from Momo who had returned the hug.

Momo gave an assuring bob of her head accompanied with a gentle smile. "We're both fine. Shouto, Katsuki, Ochaco, and Deku did a great job at taking it down outside the city."

"I saw! They keep replying it on the news!" Kaminari exclaimed, jumping to his feet from the couch and joining the girls. "The fight was so epic! It was like something straight out of a monster movie! Heroes: Shouto, Ground Zero, Uravity, and Deku vs Godzilla!"
