Chapter Text

       "How're you doing lately?" Shouta Aizawa asked Toshinori Yagi, otherwise known as All Might. They're currently on their way back to UA from the Supermarket, bags full of unhealthy snacks that Present Mic, Hizashi Yamada, had been complaining about the lack of snacks in the teacher's lounge for weeks, and really, nobody wants to hear him complain any longer.

       "Quite well despite not having a stomach." All Might tried to joke, but no one was laughing. So he laughed at his own joke...awkwardly. "Anyways...How do you like Class 1-A this year—" All Might stopped in his tracks when his foot hit something hard.

       "What'd you trip over?" Aizawa looked to see a green haired boy, laying beside the pole. He hadn't even moved when All Might had kicked him. It was a boy, and it didn't look like it was an orphan from the way it's dressed. Aizawa cautiously shook the boy, but it didn't move.

       "Oh my gosh...did I kill him?" All Might gasped in horror.

       "No, he's not living." Aizawa craned the male's head forward, the nape of the neck showed some sort power button. "Mechanic..." Aizawa clicked the button, only for it to spark, causing the two Heroes to jump back.

       "Are you all right?" Aizawa gave a small nod in response. All Might looked at the boy, smiling. "All right, let's bring this back with us."

       "What? Did that shock make you lose your mind or something? We don't even know what that is." Aizawa spouted, he's thinking rationally here.

       "Something threw the poor thing away, maybe we can get someone from the school's DOS to fix him up."

       "Are you even listening to me, Toshinori? The Department Of Support no doubt can fix him, but think rationally, we can't take something unknown into school grounds." Aizawa groaned, sometimes All Might acted even more immature than the hero course he expelled last year. Seeing as All Might wouldn't budge, he sighed, "Fine. If we get in trouble, it's your ass on the line."

       "No problem!" All Might smiled, handing the groceries to Aizawa, he picked up the young boy, and they continued their journey back to UA.

Power Loader hummed as he stared at the peculiar machinery Aizawa and All Might had brought to him. Nedzu hung comfortably on his large yellow helmet that was undoubtedly in the shape of a rectangular excavator claw.

       "You found this where?" Power Loader asked, pointing to the seemingly human machine that currently laid across his work table.

       "Just a few blocks from the Supermarket." Aizawa informed, All Might went to deliver the snacks to Present Mic at the teacher's dorms. "Can you fix it- him?" Honestly, he's not sure what to call it, whether it wanted to be male, female, or just an it.

       "Well—" Power Loader was cut off by a loud sound of explosion next door, before the door slammed open.

       "Whew!" Hatsume Mei, one of his students, coughed out, waving her hand from side to side, clearing some smoke. Her face was covered in residue from the explosion. "Heya! Oh, what's that?" Hatsume's quick to get her hands all over the machine at the table. "Is this a new support item? What do they do? Is it alive? Hm, what's it doing here? Have I seen this before? Is it broken? Something wrong with his CPU? Are you trying to fix it? Oh! Can I help?" Hatsume's asked endless questions, not leaving any room for the teacher's to answer in between.

       "That's a great idea!" Nedzu jumped off of Power Loader, surprising those who had forgotten he was there in the first place. "Yup, it's me! The one who could be a mouse, or a dog, or a bear, though the only important thing is... I'm the Principal!" Nedzu shouted out his usual catchphrase, funny how it wasn't getting old.

       "Principal Nedzu, are you sure? Hatsume's still a student of mine." Power Loader voiced his concern. There's no doubt, Hatsume's intelligent and a very skilled inventor, but she is still his student.

       "Yes! I think this will be a great experience for her, don't you think? This can be like extra credit! You'll be supervising her, of course!" Nedzu swung his arms around. Since it was somewhat a request, Power Loader agreed with the principal.

       "Awesome! I'm so excited!" Hatsume jumped in excitement.

       "Careful, he may be metal and all. But he has just as much rights as a human." Aizawa warned, his eyes giving a small glare at Power Loader. A silent threat to not destroy or kill the machine. This whole new situation made him a bit giddy, not that he'd tell anyone.

It's been two weeks since Hatsume has started her expedition on fixing the robot...android..? They're still not too sure on what to refer to it. All classes have been dismissed early, and staffs gathered around. Most have been informed about this new machine they had found, and to not alarm any teachers, Nedzu thought it was best to show everyone at once.

       "After a lot of trial and error, over the past week. I think I've got it!" Hatsume spoke, and it really showed how hard she'd been working from the look of her face, she even took the time to dress the machine in UA's uniform. They were currently out in a clearing instead of in Power Loader's work place.

       "Why're we out here?" All Might asked.

       "Oh! There's a chance this thing might cause a big explosion!" Hatsume smiled brightly, her hands shooting out happily to imitate an explosion, acting as if she hadn't just told them how it might explode. Aizawa gave a small look at Power Loader, who could only give a nervous but reassured smile. Before any else was said, Hatsume clicked the power button. Heroes on scene readied for any explosions to come, but none came, then there was a whirring of sounds.

       "𝙿𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙾𝚗....𝚁𝚎𝚋𝚘𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚂𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚖 𝙸𝚗 𝟹...𝟸...𝟷...𝚁𝚎𝚋𝚘𝚘𝚝 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎." Ever so slowly, do the lids of the machine open. It was so surprising how authentic it's eyes looked, so brightly green, like an emerald. It's eyes darted around, scanning it's surrounding. "𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘, 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝙸𝚣𝚞𝚔𝚞."

       "Oh my gosh! It worked!" Hatsume preened, extremely happy for her success. "Hello! Ah! It worked! Izuku, Do you know who I am?"

       "𝚈𝚎𝚜. 𝙰𝚌𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚒𝚕𝚎, 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝙷𝚊𝚝𝚜𝚞𝚖𝚎 𝙼𝚎𝚒. 𝙰𝚐𝚎: 𝟷𝟼. 𝙱𝚒𝚛𝚝𝚑𝚍𝚊𝚢: 𝙰𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚕 𝟷𝟾𝚝𝚑. 𝙷𝚎𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝: 𝟷𝟻𝟽.𝟾 𝚌𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜. 𝙱𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚃𝚢𝚙𝚎—"

       "Ah! Nice work, Izuku!" Hatsume cut Izuku off before he said anything embarrassing.

       "𝙰𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚏𝚎𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝? 𝚈𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚑𝚒𝚐𝚑 𝚕𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚕𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝚂𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚗. 𝙷𝚒𝚐𝚑 𝚕𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚕𝚜 𝚂𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚗 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚋𝚎 𝚍𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚜. 𝙳𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍 𝚖𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚕 𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗?" Izuku looked at Hatsume up and down. The teachers are surprised by the interaction between the two.

       "Ahem." Nedzu caught the attention of the two, standing in front of Izuku. The boy's eyes lit up as he saw the Principal.

       "𝙸𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝙸 𝚍𝚘 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚒𝚗 𝚖𝚢 𝚜𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚖. 𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚏𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎 𝙽𝚎𝚍𝚣𝚞-𝚜𝚊𝚗. 𝙰𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊 𝚍𝚘𝚐? 𝙰 𝚖𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎? 𝙰 𝚋𝚎𝚊𝚛?" Izuku circled around Nedzu, looking at each nook and cranny he could find, everything's so fascinating.

       "Curious thing, aren't you? All that matters is that I'm the principal!" Nedzu patted Izuku's head, oddly enough, it felt real. "Now, everything seems to be okay, hm?" Izuku tilts his head.

       "Oh, Izuku. Status Update, please." Power Loader asked the boy kindly.

       "𝚂𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐..." Izuku shut his eyes as he waited, "𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚢 𝚏𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚞𝚙𝚝𝚎𝚍."

       "Will it affect the others?" Aizawa asked cautiously.

       "𝙽𝚘, 𝚜𝚒𝚛. 𝙸𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚝 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚒𝚕𝚎, 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙸 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍, 𝙿𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚅𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚘...𝙸𝚗 𝟹...𝟸...." Izuku informed before he projected some sort of video. The video itself wasn't the greatest quality, parts of the screen were static, completely obstructing any visuals, luckily the audio seemed completely fine. Well, somewhat.

       "Izuku, do you know who I am?" the unknown voice spoke, it's voice was deep but soft, so much happiness can be felt through it's voice.

       "𝚈𝚎𝚜. 𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚏𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚘𝚛 𝙷𝚒𝚜𝚊𝚜𝚑𝚒 M̷i̷d̷o̷r̷i̷y̷a̷, 𝚑𝚞𝚜𝚋𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚏𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚘𝚛 I̷n̷k̷o̷ ̷M̷i̷d̷o̷r̷i̷y̷a̷..." Izuku's voice sounded much younger, as young as a robot could sound.

       "Correct, but that's not what I'd want you to call me. Can you say 'Dad'? Can you try that? Dad." The voice, who belonged to Hisashi, suddenly sounded far away. Then the audio switched to two unidentifiable adults arguing, yelling and crashing.

       "𝙼𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛..." Izuku spoke, slowly walking towards the woman flailing her arms, Izuku then was pushed harshly onto the ground.

       "Stop that! You're not him! Don't call me that!" The woman pulling at her hair, screaming at Izuku who didn't move from his place on the ground.

       "Inko! He's just a child!" A male's voice, presumably Hisashi, though he sounded much older, ran to pick Izuku up.

       "He's fake, Hisashi! He's an android! Why are you trying to replace our son so much?!" Inko cried, pointing accusingly at Izuku.

       "Izuku is still our son, android or not. I'm not replacing him. Inko, you were always crying at night at the thought of Izuku. Now, look! We revived him! Look, it's still him!" Hisashi sounded desperate.

       "That is not my son. He's incapable of feelings. Everything he does, we programmed him! I hate him! Hisashi, he's not Izuku." Inko broke down, collapsing to the floor, "I hate him..." she continued yelling out tiny curses as Izuku clung to Hisashi.

       "Inko..." Hisashi whispered lowly, prying Izuku's hands off his shirt, scooting closer to his own wife, giving her a kiss on the temple, "We didn't program him to act like this, you—" The video then switches, even without being a psychologist, you could see the woman being mentally unstable. Acting violently, especially towards Izuku. Pushing him down the stairs, pulling his circuits, and other little flashes of each incident that occurred. He neither felt pain, nor did he blame the woman. Hisashi would fix him up like new, assuring Izuku, it was not his fault. Apologizing for the sudden hostility from Inko. The video cut off once more, this time there was no audio. There was a man who clung at a woman, urging her not to leave. Still, the woman shook him off and left. Leaving the man, and Izuku alone. Another video comes to view, there was no other audio, but you could make out some of it's face. The man gave a small smile, mouthing two words, before the video ended. I'm sorry.

They all stood silently, there was so much information being taken in. Not only was Izuku an abandoned Android, he was also abused before being shut off.

       "Well, that wasn't what I was expecting, now was I?" Nedzu tried lightening up the mood, "Aizawa, I'm going to put you in charge of Izuku!"

       "Sweet! Shouta, ain't that awesome?!" Yamada screeched, he was a loud person, even without a quirk. Aizawa gave a shrug of acknowledgement before walking away, looking back to make sure Izuku was following him. And he was.

       "Since you'll be here with me, and I'm in charge of you. Should I tell you the rules?" Aizawa glanced back, making his way towards Class 1-A dorms.

       "𝙽𝚘 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍 𝚜𝚒𝚛, 𝙸 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚞𝚕𝚎𝚜. 𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚕𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚕 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝚑𝚒𝚐𝚑, 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚠𝚊𝚢 𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚏𝚒𝚡 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝?"

       "Well, you'd be stressed too if you had a troublesome class." Yamada piped in, excitedly walking along next to Izuku, having his arm slung around the young male. "Be real though, am I heavy?" he whispered.

       "𝙽𝚘𝚝 𝚊𝚝 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚜𝚒𝚛, 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚠𝚎𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚡𝚒𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝟽𝟿.𝟻𝟸 𝚔𝚐. 𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚝 𝚞𝚙 𝚝𝚘 𝟺𝟹𝟶.𝟶𝟶𝟼 𝚔𝚐." Izuku gave Yamada a small smile, a smile that made him want to protect him at all costs. They stopped in front of a building, and Izuku took time to scan the surrounding, his Iris becoming smaller while his pupil grew bigger. The large building was circled by low hedge bushes that leave a path open to the entrance. The entrance is comprised of two sets of double doors. Alongside the pathway are two park benches and two towers with lights on them. The first level of the building is white while the upper levels are colored brown on the outside.

       "Just call me Yamada! Wait...that's a bit informal...how about...Mic! What're you standing there for?" Yamada asked, seeing as Izuku continued to stare at the 5-story building.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝟸𝟷 𝚘𝚌𝚌𝚞𝚙𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚋𝚞𝚒𝚕𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚑 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚏𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚊𝚛 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑." Izuku answered, looking up at Yamada.

       "You can see inside the building?" Izuku gave a nod.

       "Here's a test. Give me a description of the extra person." Aizawa knew who else was in the building besides his students, a journalist who had come to write a story about UA's newest (hopefully) promising heroes-to-be. If he wasn't notified about the freelance journalist, he would've been alarmed when Izuku told them there was 21 people inside the building. Izuku gave a nod, staring intensely at the building once more.

       "𝙸𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚜𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛 𝚖𝚊𝚗, 𝚠𝚊𝚟𝚢 𝚑𝚊𝚒𝚛. 𝙷𝚒𝚜 𝚏𝚊𝚌𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚞𝚕𝚊𝚛 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚑𝚒𝚐𝚑 𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚎𝚔𝚋𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚜, 𝚠𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗-𝚏𝚛𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚍 𝚐𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚜 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚕𝚊𝚛𝚐𝚎, 𝚌𝚒𝚛𝚌𝚞𝚕𝚊𝚛 𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚜." Izuku blinks, as he takes in the information for himself, "𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚗𝚎𝚌𝚔...𝙷𝚎'𝚜 𝚊 𝚓𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚜𝚝." he concluded.

       "Correct." Aizawa has never seen such accuracy, granted he's never really met someone like Izuku before.

       "Whoa! Izuku aren't you awesome!" Yamada complimented.

       "𝙽𝚘𝚝 𝚊𝚝 𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝚊 𝚖𝚊𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚎, 𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚠𝚎𝚛—"

       "Izuku, one thing for sure, you are not merely a machine." Aizawa cut him off, not wanting Izuku to dehumanize himself any further, "Let's head inside." With a nod of agreement, Aizawa opened the doors of the dorm that belonged to the troublesome students of Class 1-A, and surprisingly, the dorm was not in chaos. No fire caused by someone sticking a fork into the toaster, no barely 4ft student hung on the ceiling for trying to peak into the girl's side of the dorm, no melting sofas from a particular student who decided to play around with their acid, no student who has anger issues but won't admit it screaming at any who dares to look at him and initiating fights. They were all sitting calmly surrounding the journalist as he talked. Students perked up upon seeing their teacher.

       "Aizawa-sensei!" Mina Ashido ran towards the teacher, more interested in the boy next to him who was dressed in their school uniform, "Is this a new student? There's never been a new student after the entrance exam? Ooh, maybe your kid? You seem old enough to have a kid with this age! Transfer student? He doesn't look foreign." The students quickly lost interest in the journalist and gathered around the three males by the door.

       "Oh, is this a tattoo, kero?" Tsuyu Asui pointed at a name printed at the side of Izuku's neck, "A name, right?"

       "Who in their right fucking mind would tattoo Deku into their neck?" Katsuki Bakugou asked when he saw the name, Izuku turned to face Katsuki.

       "𝙼𝚢 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝙸𝚣𝚞𝚔𝚞. 𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘 𝙰𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚍𝚘-𝚜𝚊𝚗, 𝙰𝚜𝚞𝚒-𝚜𝚊𝚗, 𝙱𝚊𝚔𝚞𝚐𝚘𝚞-𝚜𝚊𝚗..." Izuku continued as he greeted every one of the students around him.

       "Class, this is Izuku. He will be joining us since I will be supervising him for the time being," He contemplated on whether to tell the class what Izuku was.

       "What're you, a robot?" Ah. There goes that thought.

       "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝙸𝚣𝚞𝚔𝚞. 𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚖𝚊𝚢 𝙸 𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚜𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞?"

       "Yes, he is....somewhat a robot." Aizawa replied lazily, "We should have an extra room on the second floor..." There was a map of the dorm layout, the room Aizawa chose for Izuku is on the second floor, between Mineta Minoru and Aoyama Yuuga.

       "Sweet! Lil dude, let's get your room set up!" Yamada finally yelled, he was tired of keeping quiet.

       "Is this one of UA's projects?" Taneo Tokuda snapped a photo, "A robotic student, the world would love to see this." Aizawa glared at the journalist.

       "Best if you keep this information to yourself Tokuda-san." A warning to who knows what if the journalist decides to write an article on Izuku. Aizawa found himself unwillingly becoming protective of Izuku.

       "Shouta! We've got another meeting!" Yamada yelled as he ran down the stairs, for the past hour, he had been with Izuku setting up his room. He offered to buy any material Izuku needed, but the android declined.

       "Aizawa-sensei already left for the meeting." Mashirao Ojiro informed Yamada.

       "WHAT?! I need to go quick!" Yamada rushed towards the door, "Watch Izuku for me! Consider it homework!"

       "W-Wait...What're we.." Yaoyorozu Momo called after, but it was too late. Present Mic was already somehow halfway to the school building. "supposed to.." The class have just met Izuku, they don't know his favorites, whether he'd be allowed to eat or drink, the things he should be kept away from, and etcetera.

       "𝙼𝚒𝚌-𝚜𝚊𝚗...." Izuku looked around the room for Yamada, nobody heard him come in, in fact his footsteps were as light as feathers, perhaps even lighter.

       "Izuku~" Mina slung her arm around Izuku, "The girls and I are going to have a girl's night! Come join us~" Most girls nodded in agreement.

       "Nope, as his first day," Hanta Sero slung on the other side, "He's hanging out with us boys, we're going to game all night!" He pointed to the group behind him.

       "Come on! He should hang out with us! You can get him tomorrow Sero!" Mina whined.

       "He should hang out with us, not do whatever boring stuff you do!"

       "It's not boring! Give me one reason why he can't hang out with us girls!"

       "You're having a girl's night. Last time I checked, he's not a girl."

       "How do you know that, huh? We're bringing him with us!"

       "No, you're not!"

       "Would it not be easier to ask him?" Fumikage Tokoyami, asked. Hoping to cease the fighting. The two perked at the idea, both turning to Izuku as if asking a silent 'So? Who're you choosing?'

       "𝙸 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚞𝚕𝚊𝚛𝚕𝚢 𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚍....𝙿𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎 𝙷𝚘𝚕𝚍.....𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙳𝚊𝚝𝚊𝚋𝚊𝚜𝚎....." Izuku blinks as his glowing eyes began to dim, "3,452,000,000 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚞𝚕𝚝𝚜 𝚏𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍.

Izuku read the information he found then continued to blink a few more time to process the information, before coming to an conclusion, "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚏𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚎..." There were a few audible whines and shouts of 'yes' before he continued, "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚎 𝚎𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛. 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚛𝚘𝚒𝚍, 𝙸'𝚖 𝚊𝚏𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚍 𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚒𝚙𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚎𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚜𝚎 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚜."

       "Ah...you're right..."

       "We could, you know, just hang out as friends." Mezou Shouji concluded, there was no need to split the class into two genders, they could've all just hung out together as a group.

       "I don't see anything wrong with that.." Mina looked over towards the girls, who nodded in agreement.

       "I guess that doesn't sound too bad.." Hanta agreed, the two are almost like siblings who made up after getting into a fight. "As long as we're not doing anything boring."

       "You sir, clearly haven't done a girls night." Mina giggled.

       "It's actually not so different from your boys night if you think about it." Ochako Uraraka added, joining the group that formed. Izuku stared as he watched others join the circle around the TV.

       "Izuku, you coming?" Rikidou Satou asked when he realized Izuku hadn't moved. The android nodded before going to join the group.

       "So, I was thinking..."

The credit start to roll in from who knows how many movies and shows they had watched, after hours of playing games, it has been quite a while since Present Mic entrusted the class with Izuku.

       "So...how do you like this movie?" Kaminari Denki asks, leaning towards Izuku.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚊𝚜 𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚞𝚕𝚒𝚊𝚛 𝚊𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝚖𝚘𝚟𝚒𝚎𝚜. 𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙽𝚒𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚖𝚒𝚢𝚊-𝚜𝚊𝚗 𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚜𝚑𝚕𝚢 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚊𝚒𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐? 𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚑𝚒𝚍𝚎 𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚙𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛?

Izuku rambled, there was so much information he had to process from what he had just watched.

       "Well, I think it's simply because they're different. People fear things they don't understand, feeling repulsed by it, and it would lead to all those hate." Momo explained.

       "𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚑 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚍𝚒𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚝, 𝙸 𝚍𝚘 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚏𝚎𝚎𝚕 𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚞𝚕𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚏𝚊𝚌𝚝."

       "Their world is different than ours, but somewhat similar. Now, as for the blond...it depends on how one would view him.

The arrows, are somewhat a show of accomplishment? Or maybe something to identify him? I'm not too sure on that one either, American shows confuse me."

       "No, no, no! It's just you're adorable! Please don't ever change!" Tooru Hagakure hugged Izuku, well it seemed like a hug.

       "Change of subject, so....do you have a quirk, mon ami?" Yuuga Aoyama asked, being as sparkly as ever.

       "Oh! And birthday? Do you have a birthday?"

       "How old are you?" More questions filed in from the rest of the curious class, buffering symbols appeared on Izuku's eyes, he was searching again.

       "Izuku! Oh my gosh! We killed him! Did we kill him?"

       "Quick someone check for a pulse, do robots even have a pulse?"

       "Someone call Aizawa!"

       "We are so dead!"

Chapter Text

       "Is he all right?" Aizawa sighed, when he heard from his students that Izuku collapsed, he didn't even mind the fact he ran out of the meeting, dragging Power Loader along with him. He's not....attached per say...and he doesn't care for the android either! Or...maybe just a tad bit. He really ought to castigate his class, almost ruining Izuku. The android is currently laying on the metal table in Power Loader's workplace. Well, at least they were smart enough to bring him to Power Loader's office. Though, he was at fault too. He didn't exactly give any explanation, only that he was an android that'll be living within UA for the time being.

       "He's completely fine! His CPU started overheating." Power Loader explained, straighten up Izuku's uniform. Aizawa quirked a brow, it's not like he's great at computers and electronics. Sure, he took Programming as a side class, but that was it. "The Central Processing Unit. And thankfully, nothing was fried."

       "Great. That's good." Aizawa let out a breath, at least they didn't kill Izuku, then who knows what Aizawa would've done if they had killed Izuku. "Any idea how it happened?"

       "No, there can be many different causes. We're better off asking your students before making a conclusion." Aizawa nodded in agreement. The door swung open with a loud BANG!

       "I heard what happened! Is Izuku okay?!" Hatsume asked frantically. She, too, has grown attached to Izuku.

       "He's completely fine, well, from what we can see. We'll need him to confirm when he wakes up. Now, to find the cause of him overheating. Then find a way to keep him cool so he doesn't overheat again. It'd be a problem if he overheats all the time." Power Loader wrote down a bunch of scribbled nonsense, well, Aizawa couldn't read it, but he wrote something down.

       "I've got just the thing!" Hatsume ran to her station, where she usually has all her....what'd she call 'Baby' which are many inventions she has thought of, from the time she has started at UA, and that was not long ago. "This! Can keep him cooled at all times! It's almost as strong as someone with an Ice Quirk!" She held up some sort of device, no doubt created by her. All her inventions have distinct markers, A pair of steampunk goggles, much like the one she wore, as a precaution, just in case someone tries to steal her work. "We'll just attach this baby onto his CP—"

       "Nope! Hatsume, you're a bright student. No doubt about that, but this is a new invention. And I'd like it if we tried it out before putting it in someone." Power Loader quickly shot down Hatsume's idea. If Izuku wasn't alive, then maybe he would've allowed her to try that idea, but Izuku was very alive, and nobody would want to be charged with manslaughter....hopefully nobody.

       "Right, right! Let me just go grab something to try it on." Hatsume can be fast when she wants to, and really, she was fast. So fast, it might just rival The Flash, a show that came out before Quirks were discovered. "We'll just attach this on here....and there!" Hatsume placed the whatever she had used, it sort of seemed like a robot? She hadn't really explained what it was. And within seconds since she placed the object down, the whole contraption began to freeze into an ice cube. "Well! Seems it's too cold! Power Loader-sensei! I'm going to borrow some stuff!"

       "Please do not run in the workplace!" Power Loader went after Hatsume, and boy oh boy was Aizawa relieved, thank the Mother of Quirks they didn't allow her to try it on Izuku!

       "𝙿𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙾𝚗..." Izuku's eyes shot open as he laid on the table, "𝙶𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚊𝚏𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚘𝚘𝚗. 𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝙸 𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚜𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞?" Aizawa was quick to rush to Izuku's side, as the green haired android sat up.

       "Is everything okay? Nothing broken?" Aizawa squished Izuku's face, which was surprisingly very soft, as he checked for any scratches or bruises, he's been itching to do that since he got here, but didn't want to distract Power Loader.

       "𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚜 𝟷𝟶𝟶% 𝚗𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚕, 𝚜𝚒𝚛. 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚌𝚝 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚖𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚊 𝚏𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛, 𝙰𝚒𝚣𝚊𝚠𝚊-𝚜𝚊𝚗." Izuku answered, giving a smile to Aizawa when the older teacher dropped his hands from his face.

       "Do I now?" Aizawa was amused, keeping the tiny smile to himself.

       "𝚈𝚎𝚜. 𝙰𝚕𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑, 𝙸 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚊 𝚏𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛. 𝙱𝚊𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚍𝚊𝚝𝚊 𝙸'𝚟𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚎𝚍, 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚛 𝚛𝚘𝚕𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚟𝚒𝚍𝚎 𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚞𝚙𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝. 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚞𝚗𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚕𝚢 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎.

       "Am I? Well, am I amusing you?"

       "𝚅𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚖𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚜𝚘." Izuku replied, ducking when Aizawa ruffles his hair.

       "Let's head back—" Aizawa froze when he saw who was at the door. It was Midnight and Present Mic, who both probably saw Aizawa smiling and laughing...

       "Oh my gosh! Did I see that correctly? Shouta, do it again!" Yamada was ecstatic! Aizawa was not one to smile, so seeing it might really be a once in the lifetime thing!

       "No- I wasn't- Get off Hizashi!" Aizawa shoved Yamada's face towards Midnight who was also crowding him.

       "𝙳𝚘 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗?" Izuku tilts his head to the side, earning a small 'aw' from Midnight.

       "He was smiling! I wanna see that again!" Yamada told Izuku happily.

       "𝚂𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐?" Izuku did a quick search, "𝙰𝚑. 𝚈𝚎𝚜. 𝙸 𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚞𝚖𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚖𝚎𝚊𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜." Izuku's eyes glowed as he projected an image of Aizawa, who was indeed smiling.

       "Oh my gosh! Can you please send this to me, Izuku!?" Midnight pleaded, hands clasped together.

       "𝙾𝚏 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚜𝚎, 𝙼𝚒𝚍𝚗𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝-𝚜𝚊𝚗." Izuku closed his eyes, and Midnight's phone dinged, indicated someone had messaged her. In this case, Izuku sent a photo.

       "Send it in the group chat! We have to show all the staffs!" Yamada laughed devilishly, along with Midnight.

       "Don't you- I swear I'm going to- You- I swear if you don't delete that, I'm going to throw out your sock puppet collection. Hey- I swear- Delete everything!" Aizawa yelled reaching for Midnight's phone, which she gracefully threw at Yamada, then there was the clanking of metals. Turning their heads towards the source of the sound, not caring when the phone cracked as it was dropped to the ground. Izuku had fallen over, like he had passed out. "Izuku!" Aizawa hastily ran to his side, propping the android to an upright position.

       "𝙳𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝙵𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚜..." There was a blinking trash can symbol illuminating from his eyes.

       "Shit, go get Power Loader." Aizawa ordered, and the two teachers were quick to comply. He groaned, he really should've paid attention in that side class, pulling his hand across his face.

       "𝙳𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙵𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚜 𝙸𝚗 𝚃-𝙼𝚒𝚗𝚞𝚜 𝟺𝟶 𝚂𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚜....𝟹𝟿....𝟹𝟾..." Izuku was still unconscious.

       "Dammit, isn't there like cancel button!?"

       "𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚌𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝙲𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚍....𝚁𝚎𝚋𝚘𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚂𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚖...." Izuku's eyes opened, looking up at Aizawa. "𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘, 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝙸𝚣𝚞𝚔𝚞."

       "Thank god—" The door slammed open, Midnight and Yamada pushed Power Loader into the room.

       "What's wrong? Everything okay?" Power Loader knelt down next to Aizawa.

       "Yeah...he's fine now. He just took what I said to Hizashi, and started deleting his files. When I said 'cancel' he stopped." He explained what he could, looking at Izuku, who seemed to have his gaze fixed on his hands, like they were the most interesting thing out there.

       "That is odd, I'll have to look into that. In the mean time, you should ask your class what happened before Izuku crashed." Power Loader ushered them towards the door, "Izuku, would you like to go with them?" Power Loader asked, he didn't want to force Izuku to stay if he didn't want to.

       "𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝚜𝚒𝚛. 𝚆𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚏𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖? 𝙸𝚏 𝚒𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝, 𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚏𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖." Izuku stood up, and walked towards the Pro-Heroes standing by the door.

Not that anyone in particular is watching so closely...but there was something off about how Izuku walked. Maybe it's the fact that Izuku lagged behind the three, when he had no trouble keeping the same speed as Yamada. Or maybe it's because Izuku seemed to be walking more...robotically one would say.

       "You doing okay there, little listener?" Yamada turned his head to look back at Izuku.

       "𝚈𝚎𝚜, 𝚜𝚒𝚛. 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚜 𝚘𝚔𝚊𝚢, 𝚎𝚡𝚌𝚎𝚙𝚝 𝙸 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖 𝚝𝚘 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚖𝚘𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚓𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚜."

       "C'mon Izuku, I told you to call me Yamada or Mic!"

       "𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚜𝚒𝚛." That one sentence had Aizawa freeze in place.

       "Repeat that again?" Aizawa turned to face Izuku.

       "𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚗𝚘 𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚢 𝚘𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚒𝚗𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝. 𝚆𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚏𝚎𝚛𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝚊𝚜 𝚈𝚊𝚖𝚊𝚍𝚊-𝚜𝚊𝚗? 𝙸 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖 𝚝𝚘 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚏𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚜 𝚎𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛, 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚠𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎 𝚒𝚝 𝚗𝚘𝚠?" Something was wrong, clearly so wrong. Didn't he cancel the process? Maybe...Izuku was just having a small malfunction, yeah, that should be it. Aizawa's got to stop trying to make an excuse. Do they head back to Power Loader?

       "Ah...shit. Knew it wasn't that easy.." Aizawa grumbled, "You two go handle the students, I'll bring Izuku back to Power Loader."

       "We're counting on you." Midnight gave a small friendly kiss to Izuku and a hug to Aizawa, pulling Yamada along with her, before Yamada start to protest about wanting to go with them.

       "𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝, 𝚜𝚒𝚛?" Izuku asked, his hand rubbed his cheek, it still felt warm.

       "She kissed you, it's like a form of affection."

       "𝙺𝚒𝚜𝚜...𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚜𝚒𝚛, 𝙸 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚋𝚘𝚛 𝚏𝚎𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜 𝚝𝚘𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚍𝚜 𝚑𝚎𝚛."

       "It isn't necessarily that kind of feeling, what she did was more so platonic." Aizawa explained, honestly he's not that great when it comes to these type of stuff.

       "Majima...Sorry to be back so soon," Aizawa would only ever call Power Loader by his surname in private, or whenever he was serious about something, "but there's something with Izuku's memories." He couldn't exactly say wrong because it technically wasn't wrong.

       "His memories?"

       "Yes, Izuku has no memories of the events from today. Could it be possible that it was deleted?" Aizawa asked, Izuku had long wandered to the side of the workshop, staring at whatever machine he could set his eyes on.

       "That is a possibility, but I'd have to check to see. Izuku. Can you give me a status update please?"

       "𝚈𝚎𝚜 𝚜𝚒𝚛. 𝚂𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐.... 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚜 𝚏𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚜 𝚒𝚝 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚋𝚎, 𝚜𝚒𝚛."

       "Hm, I might have to check him manually." Power Loader brought his hand up to his chin, thinking.

       "Wait, that won't hurt him right?" Aizawa was cautious, he didn't want to hurt Izuku further.

       "No, I'll just be checking his motherboard, the CPU, and the PCB. I'll need to shut him off though. It's less risky this way." Power Loader waved Izuku over, the android followed through without problem. "Izuku, I'm going to need you shut off, okay? I'll be right back." Power Loader walked off to the side of the workplace.

       "It's temporary. It won't hurt at all, and I'll be staying right by your side." Aizawa added, it was more for himself than Izuku.

       "𝙾𝚔𝚊𝚢. 𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚎 𝚊𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚊 𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚍? 𝙸 𝚍𝚘 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚏𝚎𝚎𝚕 𝚙𝚊𝚒𝚗, 𝚜𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚗𝚘 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚢." Izuku looked up at Aizawa, "𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚕𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚕 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚍𝚎𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎. 𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝'𝚜 𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝." Aizawa sighed, giving Izuku a few head pats.

       "All right Izuku, let's fix you up."

       "𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚋𝚛𝚘𝚔𝚎𝚗....𝙰𝚖 𝙸?" Izuku held his hand on the top of his head, right where Aizawa had given him a pat in the head.

       "No, you're not. We're just making sure everything is in place, you know, in case your scanning missed something." Aizawa explained, and he really shouldn't be explaining that to him. Sure, he did graduate near the top of his class, but that doesn't mean his programming or computer skills were on point. "Can you do what Power Loader told you to?" Izuku nodded.

       "𝚂𝚑𝚞𝚝𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙾𝚏𝚏..." Izuku wasn't standing completely straight, so when he shut off, he fell forward. Aizawa was able to catch him. Note to self, make sure Izuku's at least sitting so he wouldn't fall and hurt himself next time. Aizawa picked up the android, placing it on the all too familiar metal table.

       "All right, let me just.." Power Loader begun to unbutton Izuku's top, only to be stopped by Aizawa.

       "What're you doing?"

       "I need to take his shirt off to access the motherboard." Power Loader explained, which was enough to have Aizawa loosen his grip. It wasn't particularly his fault for reacting the way he did. Before he became a teacher at UA, Aizawa was given a not so nice mission involving a trafficking ring of children. The mission was successful, except for the fact that the ringleader was able to escape, which made the underground Hero spend three months chasing them down. In the end, he was able to arrest the ringleader, but he hadn't been able to save some children from that traumatic experience. "Okay," Power Loader's voice brought Aizawa from his thoughts, "So when you told him to cancel the process. He had already deleted some of his newest memories from his drive. Luckily, Hatsume has his memory backed up to a hard drive." Power Loader moved around his workplace before coming back with a hard drive in hand, along with some jump wires. "Think I should use the green one? He seems to like green."

       "Yeah...I think he likes green." Aizawa knew Power Loader was trying to lift the mood, because Aizawa is totally not blaming himself because he was the one who, not directly, told Izuku to delete everything.

       "All right, we just need to wait for everything to load." Power Loader used the jump wire to connect the hard drive to Izuku. "The process is long. So, I think you should head back and take some rest. Come back to check on him tomorrow." Power Loader informed, he was genuinely worried, since he hasn't seen Aizawa get into his yellow sleeping bag at all.

       "It's fine. You can go, I'll stay here with him." And he did. Aizawa sat in a stool while he waited for Izuku to... 'wake up'... one would say. He'd perk up at each ping indicating Izuku was 1% closer to finish redownloading the memories.

       "𝙳𝚘𝚠𝚗𝚕𝚘𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐....𝟻𝟺% 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎..." The android beeped, and Aizawa stayed awake for the whole process, not leaving his side. Well, he tried to at least. Before falling asleep with his arms crossed in front of him.

Aizawa jolted awake when he felt something on him, ready to fight whoever intruded his room. Except, right. He's in Power Loader's workshop.

       "Sorry, didn't mean to wake you." Yamada whispered, holding the blanket he was trying to place on Aizawa.

       "'s fine..." Aizawa replied groggily.

       "Did you stay here all night?" Midnight asked, handing him a cup of coffee.

       "mm..yeah, was waiting for him." Aizawa tilted his head towards Izuku as he drank the coffee. "How much longer...?"

       "𝙳𝚘𝚠𝚗𝚕𝚘𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐....98% 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎....."

       "Great, he's almost done!" Yamada yelled excitedly.

       "Hizashi, it's too early for you to be yelling."

       "It's only 7 in the morning." Midnight laughed, "C'mon Mic. You're coming with me to get breakfast for this hobo." Yamada allowed himself to be dragged away from Aizawa and the android. The other Hero struggled to keep himself awake, and it was only when a chorus of tiny bells rung did he fully wake up.

       "𝙳𝚘𝚠𝚗𝚕𝚘𝚊𝚍 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎....𝙻𝚘𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙵𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚜...𝙿𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙾𝚗.....𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘, 𝙰𝚒𝚣𝚊𝚠𝚊-𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒. 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚔 𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚒𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚞𝚜𝚞𝚊𝚕, 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚠𝚊𝚢 𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚜𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞?"

       "I'm fine, I just didn't sleep on a bed. How's everything?" Aizawa asked, helping Izuku sit up. At some point in the night, he buttoned up Izuku's uniform as much as possible without disrupting the process.

       "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝟷𝟶𝟶% 𝚏𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙰𝚕𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚒𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚞𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚌𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚊𝚛𝚢, 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚔 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚋𝚢 𝚖𝚢 𝚜𝚒𝚍𝚎, 𝙰𝚒𝚣𝚊𝚠𝚊-𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒." Izuku gave Aizawa a comforting smile.

       "I told you, I'd stay by your side. I would never break a promise to you." Aizawa replied.

       "𝙸𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚊𝚢." Izuku noticed the hesitation in Aizawa's voice, "𝙼𝚊𝚢 𝙸 𝚊𝚜𝚔 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝚖𝚎?"

       "I guess an Android can see through everything, huh?" Aizawa joked, bending down on one knee, "There's just something I need you to do, so we can make sure this won't happen again. Since we don't know all your commands. If we accidentally say one of your commands, I need you to make sure we're directing it at you before you follow through."

       "𝙾𝚔𝚊𝚢, 𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚖 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚊 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚒𝚜 𝚜𝚊𝚒𝚍 𝚝𝚘𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚍𝚜 𝚖𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑."

       "Another thing, you have a choice to follow through or not. If it's not something you want, you have the right to deny that. Okay?" Aizawa wants Izuku to know, he's as human as any of them. And he isn't forced to do anything.

       "𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝙸 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚒𝚏 𝚒𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙸 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝?" Izuku asked, but it seems Aizawa's lost in thought. So Izuku thought of giving Aizawa a pat in the head, two pats in fact. Because two pats are always better than one. "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚍𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚒𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚎. 𝙸𝚜 𝚙𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚘𝚗𝚎'𝚜 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚍 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐?" Izuku asked, still patting Aizawa's head.

       "For some people, yeah." Aizawa laughed, "Did you ask me something?"

       "𝙽𝚘. 𝙸𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚞𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚍𝚘 𝚜𝚘. 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎, 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎. 𝙿𝚊𝚝. 𝙿𝚊𝚝." Izuku spoke almost as monotone as Shouto Todoroki.

       "All right, all right." Aizawa laughed once more, before pulling away so nobody would see that. "Homeroom will start in fifteen minutes, how about joining our class today?"

       "𝙸𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚓𝚘𝚒𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚢𝚎𝚜. 𝙸'𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝, 𝙰𝚒𝚣𝚊𝚠𝚊-𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒." Izuku almost chirped.

       "Then let's go, problem child." Aizawa waited for Izuku to step off the metal table, not caring for the tiny nickname he'd given Izuku.

       "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝙸𝚣𝚞𝚔𝚞."

       "Yes. Yes you are." Aizawa gave another small smile, before walking out of Power Loader's workshop.

Chapter Text

There are 20 seats in the classroom, that's the maximum amount students that can enroll in UA's Class 1-A Hero Course. And there are currently 21 students if Izuku is included. Which is why Aizawa is currently working out a way to get a desk for Izuku, and that, is a lot of work. More work than he would like. First, he'd have to decide whether it would be easier to have Izuku sit with the class, or be near him. Second, if he were to be seated with the rest of the class, he'd then have to figure out how to fit a desk for Izuku. After finalizing the initial thought of how he would go about from there, he'd have to do all the paperwork for the proper materials needed for Izuku. So, it would be very helpful if his class would just sit tight, and not cause any ruckus.

       "𝙲𝚊𝚗 𝙸 𝚊𝚜𝚔 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚍𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝙰𝚒𝚣𝚊𝚠𝚊-𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒?" Izuku stood next to the podium, that sat in the front center of the class.

       "Trying to decide if it's a good idea to expel this class." Aizawa mumbled, he was not trying to decide that. If he wanted to, he could easily expel them, but they haven't annoyed him to that point yet. "I swear if they don't shut up, I'll get a migraine."

       "𝙼𝚒𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚜 𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚔𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝚋𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗 𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜. 𝚃𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚐𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚒𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚜 𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚕𝚞𝚍𝚎, 𝚏𝚘𝚘𝚍/𝚍𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚔𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚞𝚖𝚎, 𝚝𝚘𝚘 𝚖𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚘𝚘 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚜𝚕𝚎𝚎𝚙, 𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚜, 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚎.

       "No, not now. You can write them down for me." Aizawa handed Izuku a blank sheet of paper who was very happy to be useful. Homeroom was only 10 minutes, and somehow it feels like 10 agonizing hours with the constant yelling, from Bakugou Katsuki, and Iida Tenya, the Class Bomb and Class Representative. Well, at least Izuku doesn't seem bothered by them.

       "I AM WALKING INTO THE CLASSROOM LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" All Might yelled, slamming the door open. Yes, this is normal....apparently. He had learned from Aoyama Yuuga that a normal person is to give themselves a dramatic entrance, and so he did. "Ahem. Today, is sort of a free day. We will be strengthening our quirks for tomorrow's special field trip!" All Might is just the type of person who has way too much energy to spare in the morning. "Everyone into your gym uniforms! Go, go, go!"

       "𝙰𝚖 𝙸 𝚝𝚘 𝚏𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚌𝚑 𝚖𝚢 𝚌𝚕𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘𝚘, 𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝙼𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝-𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒?" Izuku didn't know if he could join along with the class, truth be told, he wanted to join them.

       "I don't see a problem with that! Go be a hero!" All Might gave Izuku a light smack on the back.

       "We have a spare uniform in the locker-room. Ask one of the boys to get one for you, I'll meet you out in the field." Aizawa replied bluntly, he has to go out and actually set up the field. Izuku nodded and followed the rest of his classmates out of the room.

Izuku held a pair of UA's official gym uniform, staring at it. Realization hit him, he doesn't know how to wear them. Nobody had taught Izuku how to wear any sort of clothing, Professor Hisashi and his wife used to be the ones who helped him, but that memory was long lost. Hatsume helped him too, but Izuku was unconscious when she'd done so. Instead of taking up space downloading files on how to wear clothing, Izuku decides to watch other students to learn from them. Quickly catching on, Izuku took off his uniform jacket with ease, and apparently with too much force when the fabric tore into pieces. 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩 𝘉𝘺 60%  A good choice he made, reducing his strength when he took off his pants didn't cause the fabric to tear. Izuku didn't have an undergarment underneath like the others, and he didn't mind.

       "Whoa! Midoriya you're a guy right?" Mineta asked, he was just staring creepily at Izuku.

       "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚛𝚘𝚒𝚍. 𝙲𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚊 𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚎." Izuku stopped midway from taking off his shirt.

       "But you don't have a—" Mineta was cut off with Ojiro Mashirao swatting him with his tail.

       "And here we thought you were done with that." Shinsou Hitoshi covered Izuku with a towel, blocking Mineta from staring any further. His action really confused Izuku, because this never really happened....well, he doesn't really have much memory left.

       "𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐?" Izuku asked, his hands hadn't moved from it's place, suspended midair.

       "Please just, change. Mineta probably won't stop asking inappropriate questions until you do." Shinsou kept his gaze, anywhere else but Izuku.

       "𝙸 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚊 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚘𝚗 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚘 𝚌𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚖𝚎. 𝙸 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚜." Izuku looked down at himself, because he indeed didn't have them.

       "Doesn't make what he said appropriate." Ojiro replied, coming over to assist him. He caught on to the fact, Izuku probably didn't know how to change from how he kept staring at them. "Let's put your pants on first." He handed Izuku the pair of gym pants, guiding him to place his foot through the large hole on top, through to one of the holes at the bottom. "Our gym clothes are like jackets, so we just need to unzip the front.." Ojiro explained as he showed Izuku what he was doing. "Well, it's better if you have something underneath, so you can—"

       "He can use one of my tank tops!" Kaminari Denki handed Izuku his tank top, "I never used this one, so you can wear it."

       "𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚔 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝙺𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚛𝚒 𝙳𝚎𝚗𝚔𝚒." Izuku held the black tank top, with streaks of yellow through it. "𝙻𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐..."

       "Yep! Lightnings are one of my favorite things in the world! Right behind hamburgers!" Kaminari grinned, holding a thumbs up.

       "Yeah and before hamburgers are those magazines you hide und—" Shinsou was cut off by Kaminari shoving his hand in his face. None would have known these two would be best friends. One that looked like he would pass out if he did anything, and the other who has too much energy to spare. They're practically the definition of what opposites attract meant.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝙺𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚛𝚒 𝙳𝚎𝚗𝚔𝚒." Izuku stared at the tank top he was given, "𝚂𝚘, 𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚍𝚎𝚌𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎." Izuku extended his arms forward, intending to return the piece of clothing back to it's owner. For an android, Izuku's skin was really smooth, looking as if one soft punch would bruise it.

       "Nah, man! Don't worry about it! That's what friends are for, right?" Kaminari pushed Izuku's hands back, patting the android on the back. "I'll meet you outside!" Kaminari dashed and clung around Sero, who has Mineta tightly bound in his tape, dragging them to the field.

       "That's a shirt! It's upside down!" Shinsou yelled, getting the attention of Izuku and Ojiro. The android had tried to put on the tank top, but he mistook the tank top to be the same as the pair of pants, sticking his leg into the tank top. His action earns a snort from Ojiro.

       "Your head goes through the bottom, here." Ojiro pointed, allowing Izuku to try again. Only helping, if the android was struggling. He held up the jacket for Izuku to slip his arms into. When Izuku was fully dressed, Shinsou lowered his arms. "Let's go join the class." Ojiro gave a smile, ruffling Izuku's hair.

       "Since All Might decides to disappear on us, I don't really have an agenda of what to do. Take this as a free day, practice your quirks, exercise or whatever. Just don't bother me unless Izuku is hurt." Aizawa explained, All Might was nowhere to be seen. Aizawa left to do his own thing, most likely climbing into his sleeping bag out of sight.

       "Funny how he says 'Izuku' only and not someone in our class." Aoyama Yuuga gave a nervous laugh.

       "Ooh! Think we can try our quirks on you, Izuku?" Hagakure Tooru asked, "Can we?"

       "𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚍𝚘𝚎𝚜𝚗'𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚊 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚘𝚗 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚝𝚘." Izuku replied, he feels happy to be included. Well, he thinks it's happiness, it felt like it.

       "Ooh! I wanna go first!" Uraraka Ochako raised her hand.

       "𝚄𝚛𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚔𝚊 𝙾𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚔𝚘. 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔, 𝚉𝚎𝚛𝚘 𝙶𝚛𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚝𝚢. 𝙸𝚝 𝚗𝚞𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚒𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚎𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝚘𝚗 𝚜𝚘𝚕𝚒𝚍 𝚝𝚊𝚛𝚐𝚎𝚝𝚜 𝚋𝚢 𝚝𝚘𝚞𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚊𝚍𝚜 𝚘𝚗 𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚙𝚜, 𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚠𝚎𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚊𝚝.

       "I can probably even float you to the Sun!" Uraraka joked, though what she said was highly possible. There wasn't a limit to how high she can float an object, not one that they've found yet. Once Izuku gave her the 'Okay' Uraraka patted Izuku on the back, causing him to float upwards. It wasn't graceful, no it was not. The android was flipping all around while mid-air.

       "𝙵𝚊𝚜𝚌𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚒𝚜 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚐𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚝, 𝚊𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚊𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚞𝚗𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝚝𝚘 𝚏𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚋𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚔𝚎𝚎𝚙 𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚞𝚙𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚍𝚜 𝚞𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚕 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎𝚍.

Izuku kept floating upwards towards the sky, he didn't mind staying up there a bit longer, but Uraraka looked like she'd puke any minute.

       "I can't drop you from that height!" Uraraka was nervous, that doesn't end well when she's using her quirk.

       "I got him!" Sero Hanta shouted, his elbows shooting long cellophane tape-like strips towards Izuku, carefully retracting the tape. If he went too quick, he might ripped his limp off by the sheer force, not that he tried or anything! From many experience, his tape can easily bruise someone, if he pulled harshly. They don't know how durable Izuku is, they might accidentally break him. Once the height Izuku was off the ground, reduced to a reasonable amount, Uraraka released her quirk, having Sero catch him.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚔 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝚂𝚎𝚛𝚘 𝙷𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚊. 𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚘𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚙𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝚝𝚘𝚘.  𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝'𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚌𝚊𝚙𝚊𝚌𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚎𝚡𝚝𝚎𝚗𝚍? 𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚊𝚕𝚜𝚘 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚘 𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗. 𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝'𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚍𝚞𝚛𝚊𝚋𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝚘𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚝𝚊𝚙𝚎?" Izuku's hooked on Sero's quirk, there were so many possibilities and outcomes for when Sero uses a quirk!

       "Um, I'm not sure about how long I can shoot it, but I'm working on a super move that can protect my allies and I from enemies!" Sero's face turned red, there weren't many people who were interested in his quirk to want to know everything about it. "Let's check out everyone else's Quirks! Like Kouda's! He can talk to animals."

       "𝙺𝚘𝚞𝚍𝚊 𝙺𝚘𝚞𝚓𝚒. 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔, 𝙰𝚗𝚒𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎. 𝙳𝚎𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚙𝚘𝚙𝚞𝚕𝚊𝚛 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚏𝚜, 𝙺𝚘𝚞𝚍𝚊-𝚜𝚊𝚗 𝚍𝚘𝚎𝚜𝚗'𝚝 𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔 𝚝𝚘 𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚜. 𝙷𝚒𝚜 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚜 𝚑𝚒𝚖 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚊𝚋𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝚝𝚘 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚖𝚊𝚕 𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚍𝚘𝚖 𝚋𝚢 𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖."

       "Eh? Wait? You can't talk to animals?!" Sero's eyes looked as if they'd pop out any second from how intensely he's staring at Kouda.

       "...no..." Kouda whispered, so low a feather dropping would be louder than him. "....I can exchange information with them...? I-It's not very helpful..."

       "𝙽𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎. 𝙸𝚗𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚙𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝚠𝚎𝚊𝚙𝚘𝚗. 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚕𝚘𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝚟𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚘𝚞𝚜 𝚙𝚎𝚘𝚙𝚕𝚎, 𝚘𝚛 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚊𝚗 𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚖𝚢 𝚑𝚒𝚍𝚎-𝚘𝚞𝚝. 𝚈𝚘𝚞'𝚍 𝚋𝚎 𝚊 𝚠𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚌𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚘." Izuku gave Kouda a pat on the shoulder, it's an attempt to cheer one another up from what he's seen. One by one, each student showed their Quirks to Izuku. Some were given permission to try their Quirks out on the android, while those who physically can't, gave a demonstration of their Quirk. One way or another, Izuku was always impressed and satisfied by their Quirks, giving feedbacks that were really helpful. It went from Aoyama shooting his laser, Tokoyami Fumikage introducing the android to his companion Dark Shadow, Iida Tenya and Izuku having a friendly race with Iida ultimately winning with Izuku closely behind, Kirishima Eijirou showing him how his hardening Quirk worked, Satou Rikidou chugging down packs of sugars, Momo Yaoyorozu creating tiny Russian roulette dolls for Izuku, Ojiro showing his martial arts skilled, Jirou Kyouka amplifying the sound of her heartbeat, Bakugou shouting out curses when his hands sparked emitting explosions that the android referred to as fireworks, Mineta Minoru's super sticky grapeballs, Mezou Shouji extending his limbs all around him, Kaminari almost maxing out on his quirk trying to no doubt show off to Izuku, Tsuyu Asui sticking to walls and blending in, Shouto creating tiny ice sculptures, Hagakure even took off her gym clothes for Izuku to locate where she is on the field. A game of hide and seek!

       "You think he can find her?" Kaminari whispered to Shinsou, who shrugged and waited for the results.

       "𝚂𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚊..... 𝙵𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 𝙷𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚔𝚞𝚛𝚎-𝚜𝚊𝚗." Izuku tapped Hagakure's shoulder, "𝙸𝚝 𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚜 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚠𝚘𝚗."

       "So amazing~ and I told you! Drop the honorifics, Izuku!" Hagakure scoled, her hand pointing at Izuku, well nobody could see her pointing.

       "Bro, Shinsou. Will your Quirk work on him?" Kaminari asked, he was practically leaning on Shinsou. The violet haired male shrugged, walking over to try out his Quirk. He had to at least try, right?

       "Hey, Izuku?" Shinsou spoke up, he waited for a response from the android, before he could actually Brainwash him.

       "𝚈𝚎𝚜? 𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝙸 𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚙 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚘𝚞 𝙷𝚒𝚝𝚘𝚜𝚑𝚒?" Unlike anyone else who he uses his Quirk on, Izuku does not become limp like the others. "𝙰𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝?" Izuku asked, "𝚂𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝙸 𝚝𝚊𝚔𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎?" So, his Quirk didn't exactly work.

       "No, I'm okay. Seems like it didn't work." Shinsou rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, "Didn't know why I tried."

       "𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚍𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚊𝚗 𝚎𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚘𝚗 𝚖𝚎, 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚕 𝚑𝚞𝚖𝚊𝚗 𝚋𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙸𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚟𝚎 𝚍𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔. 𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚊 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚝𝚘𝚘!" Izuku went on about all the different ways Shinsou could use his Quirk.

       "You wouldn't be so optimistic about it, when you actually have a quirk like mine."

       "𝙵𝚊𝚕𝚜𝚎. 𝙸𝚏 𝙸 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚊 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔. 𝙸 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚊𝚕𝚜𝚘 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝙱𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚠𝚊𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐." Izuku gave Shinsou a pat in the head too, he has so much more head pats to give! "𝙿𝚊𝚝. 𝙿𝚊𝚝. 𝙳𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚙 𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚊𝚡 𝚢𝚘𝚞?"

       "Is it odd that it does? Can't believe I have a someone older than me giving me assuring head pats." Shinsou laughed.

       "No way you're that young! You're even more mature than Kaminari!" Sero butted in, earning a small offended shout from Kaminari.

       "That's because, he's mentally like 2 weeks old." Shinsou exaggerated.

       "𝙰𝚖 𝙸 𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚎𝚡𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚖𝚢𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚘𝚔𝚒 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚘'𝚜 𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔?" Izuku asked when he found an opening in the conversation between the two.

       "Didn't he show you his ice sculptures? Well, he's sitting over in the shade over there." Sero pointed, and Todoroki was sitting under the tree. If this were a show, he would definitely be the lonely protagonist with a traumatic background, possibly... Izuku stalked over to Todoroki, who stared out into the distance, though it was all trees.

       "Can I help you?" Todoroki's voice was monotone, it has always been monotone since the start of his time at UA.

       "𝙸'𝚟𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚘𝚋𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔, 𝚃𝚘𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚘𝚔𝚒 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚘. 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚖𝚊𝚣𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔. 𝙰𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚠𝚒𝚎𝚕𝚍 𝚝𝚠𝚘 𝚘𝚙𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔𝚜. 𝙸 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚛𝚎𝚚𝚞𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚏𝚕𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚜." Izuku stood in front of the dual-haired male, waiting for a reply.

       "I decline. I can't— won't use someone else's flames." Todoroki's voice laced with venom at the thought of his father.

       "𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍. 𝙸𝚜 𝚒𝚝 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚏𝚕𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚜?" Izuku asked, and that was when Todoroki spilled everything quietly to him. About his so-called father, the number two hero, his mother and his siblings. About how he loathed his father for treating his mother like she was nothing, when she deserved the world, for bringing him and his siblings to life, instead his mother was driven up a wall till she couldn't hold much longer, resulting in the ugly scar that rested on the left side of his face. That he couldn't face his mother, in fear of resentment. "𝙳𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚛 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚑𝚞𝚛𝚝?"

       "You're the first person to ask that when I tell people I got burned," Todoroki gave a small chuckle, "Usually, someone would say sorry that it happened to me."

       "𝚆𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚊𝚜𝚔 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝?" Todoroki shook his head.

       "No, what you said was fine."

       "𝙸𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚒𝚜𝚝, 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚕𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚏𝚕𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚏𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚖 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚏𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚢. 𝙲𝚊𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚏𝚕𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚠𝚗? 𝚄𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖 𝚝𝚘 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚊𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚖.

The flames dancing around in the air before slowing dying down.

       "You think I can turn something this scary, into something nice?" Todoroki wouldn't admit it, he feared the flames that dwelled in him. That fear keeps the flames trapped in it's cage. The fear that if he tried to embrace that warmth that the flames once emitted, it would hurt him if he got too close. It'd be too late as it spreads, kill- burning anything in it's way.

       "𝙽𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚕𝚎𝚝 𝚐𝚘 𝚘𝚏 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝'𝚜 𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚝. 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚛."

       "What's.....that supposed to mean? What's important?" It was a quote, Todoroki knew that much. But he doesn't understand what it meant, and why it was said to him.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚘 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚞𝚝. 𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚐𝚘 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝙰𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚍𝚘-𝚜𝚊𝚗." Izuku stood up, he made up his mind of no longer pestering the dual-toned male on using a Quirk he hated. Leaving Todoroki with his own thoughts, he'll understand what the quote meant....probably.....hopefully.

       "𝙰𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚍𝚘-𝚜𝚊𝚗, 𝙸 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚖𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚘𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚜, 𝚒𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎." Ashido Mina smiled brightly at the request.

       "Nope! I'm not showing you! Unless, you call me A-shi-do!"

       "𝙰-𝚜𝚑𝚒-𝚍𝚘-𝚜𝚊𝚗."

       "Very funny, Izuku. Drop the -san or I'm not going to show you my super awesome, super cool Quirk!" Ashido stuck her tongue out, she really meant what she said.

       "𝙰𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚍𝚘."

       "Hehe, okay! Watch my super amazing Acid Quirk!" Ashido jumped, throwing her hands upwards, raining down tiny droplets of acid around her. She might've been more excited to do that than she's showing, which is probably the reason why she didn't watch her surroundings before releasing her Quirk. That didn't matter to Izuku though, her Quirk was just as awesome, just as cool, and of course, just as amazing as she said.

       "𝚆𝚊𝚛𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐...𝙰𝚌𝚒𝚍 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚂𝚞𝚛𝚏𝚊𝚌𝚎......𝙸𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝙰𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚍𝚘'𝚜 𝚊𝚌𝚒𝚍. 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚖𝚎𝚕𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐." Izuku stared at his forearm, the metal was really melting. Most acids cause metals to rust or become corrosive, while Ashido's acid was strong enough to completely start melting the metal.

       "Ahh! Oh my god! Got to get you to Recovery Girl!" Ashido pushed Izuku, "Wait, do I bring you to the Support Department? I thought robots are like- acidproof or something! Oh god!" the commotion has started to get the attention of every other classmate. "Just- Oh my god- Don't die!"

       "𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚊𝚕 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚙𝚞𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 𝚒𝚗 𝚖𝚢 𝚊𝚛𝚖. 𝙸𝚝 𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠𝚜 𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚓𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚜, 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚒𝚗 𝚍𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚛." Izuku's feet dug into the ground, he wasn't stopping her, but he wasn't walking either.

       "Explain later! We need to get you checked!" Ashido, now with the help of others, hauled Izuku off the ground and marched to Recovery Girl's office. Some, rushed to the support department. And the rest.....have to stay and distract Aizawa if he were to wake up. He'd no doubt kill the whole class if he found out what happened.

The android noticed three things today. One, they were all very welcoming to him, despite being made of literal wires and metals. Two, they are caring, he had explained how he was nowhere near in danger, they still insisted for him to fix his almost somewhat melted arm. Everyone has a really nice smile. That's the last thing Izuku realized today, they had a nice smile, so warm. Yeah....it was a nice smile.

Chapter Text

Izuku acted as if his arm wasn't even melting, while Hatsume stopped the acid from melting the metal any further. Going on and on about how amazing Ashido's Quirk was, and it really was amazing.

       "Sounds like you really like the new class," Hatsume lifted the welding helmet up, to talk to Izuku face to face.

       "𝚈𝚎𝚜, 𝙸 𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚌𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚜. 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚋𝚎 𝚓𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚞𝚜? 𝙸 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚍 𝚎𝚗𝚓𝚘𝚢 𝚖𝚎𝚎𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖." Izuku smiled, he somehow found it fun watching Hatsume weld a piece of metal into his arm.

       "Ah- No. I'm not in the Heroes Course." Hatsume continued on with her class.

       "𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝚗𝚘𝚝? 𝙸 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚍 𝚋𝚎 𝚊 𝚠𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘."

       "Well, my quirk isn't exactly suitable. Plus, I wasn't aiming for the Hero Course anyways. I like being in support. What about you?" Hatsume always dreamed of working in the Support Department, creating new inventions she'd call 'baby' for anyone who needed it. Right now, she's fulfilling that dream to the fullest.

       "𝙸 𝚊𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚎 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚎𝚗. 𝙷𝚊𝚝𝚜𝚞𝚖𝚎 𝙼𝚎𝚒, 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚊 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘 𝚝𝚘 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚎𝚜."

       "What? No, you're joking." Hatsume laughed at what Izuku said.

       "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚗𝚘𝚝, 𝙸 𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚕𝚢 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘 𝚝𝚘 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚎𝚜. 𝙸𝚏 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚊𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚎, 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚖𝚢 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘." The android didn't lie when he told Hatsume she would be a Hero to all Heroes. The world of Heroes wouldn't turn without the people from those Support Departments, and they should get the credit they deserved once in a while.

       "Awe, Izuku can be my Hero too," Hatsume felt honored to be called Izuku's Hero, "All right! Your arm should be good to go!" She used her gloved hand, and gave his arm a small knock, indicating she was done fixing it. "Aren't you lucky, we have the same materials that your Professor guy used for you?"

       "𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝, 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚏𝚊𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚢 𝚕𝚞𝚌𝚔𝚢." Izuku gave a bright smile. It's really amazing how much he's grown since the first time he was brought to UA.

If the other staffs in the room heard Aizawa grunt, they kept silent. Aizawa was livid, one would say.....if they could read his expression. You'd think leaving highschool students by themselves and giving them a free day, to train, they'd be somewhat responsible. First, there are theories of the reason Izuku was created, then with the help of Power Loader, they were able to narrow down the cause of Izuku overheating. Lastly, he gets a call about Izuku's arm being melted. Aizawa pressed at his temple, an attempt to ease the upcoming migraine.

       "𝙸𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚊 𝚖𝚒𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚎, 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊 𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚘𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚎𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚍 𝚒𝚜 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚎𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎. 𝚆𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚛𝚢?" Izuku came into Aizawa's view, smiling happily. The android has been showing many emotions lately, and it was truly a miracle to watch.

       "Honestly, I'd try anything right now." Aizawa sighed, his elbows propping up, and resting his chin on the back of his hand. Izuku placed a hand on Aizawa's forehead, and immediately the migraine started to subside. "How's your arm? I'll be sure to talk to Ashido about using her Quirk dangerously." The android's hand felt cool, it wasn't weird because he was made of metal, but they were usually more room temperature. Izuku's hand was like Todoroki's Ice Quirk, cool. Izuku doesn't have a Quirk. His hand cold— "Izuku-" Aizawa moved to get up, before he was stopped by Izuku.

       "𝙳𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚖𝚢 𝚗𝚎𝚠 𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚖? 𝙷𝚊𝚝𝚜𝚞𝚖𝚎-𝚜𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚊𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚍 𝚒𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚜𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚒𝚡𝚎𝚍 𝚖𝚢 𝚊𝚛𝚖." Izuku was almost dancing from where he stood. "𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚜𝚝 𝚑𝚞𝚖𝚊𝚗 𝙸 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚘." If we're being honest, Aizawa was the only person Izuku wanted to show the new update he had. And good lord did Aizawa think it was adorable how Izuku was like a six year old, showing his parents an artwork he made during class.

       "Coolest thing I've ever seen." Aizawa joked, because he would never miss out on making a joke.

       "𝙰𝚑. 𝙸𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚊 '𝚙𝚞𝚗'?" The teacher nodded, "𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚒𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚏𝚞𝚗𝚗𝚢. 𝙷𝚊𝚑𝚊." The laugh sounded more human than anything else Aizawa's ever heard come out of the android's mouth. "𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚗𝚘𝚠, 𝙰𝚒𝚣𝚊𝚠𝚊-𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒?"

       "Doing the preparations for tomorrow's Hero Class. We're going to be doing something new instead of having mock battles." Aizawa was currently finishing up the paperwork that would allow him to bring the student's out of campus for tomorrow's course. The class will be going to UA's very own Unforeseen Simulation Join, also known as USJ, while a job of a Hero is to protect it's citizens from villains, rescuing them from natural disasters is also something these students need to learn. "Shouldn't you be in class? Hizashi's teaching English right now."

       "𝙲𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗, 𝚑𝚎'𝚜 𝚜𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚗𝚘𝚠. 𝙳𝚒𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠, 𝙼𝚒𝚌-𝚜𝚊𝚗 𝚒𝚜 𝚊𝚏𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚊 𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚖𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚋𝚘𝚖𝚋𝚞𝚜?"

       "Hizashi's always been scared of bees, especially bumblebees." Aizawa had tiny flashbacks to his younger years, when he was a student in UA, he and Hizashi were decent friends, and the blonde male always clung to him when there was a bee nearby. "Do you want to help me grade quizzes?" The teacher thought of handing Izuku a task, so he wouldn't be bored standing next to him. Although Aizawa was their Homeroom teacher, he still partook in some of the classes....by pretending he was asleep in his yellow sleeping bag. He often stayed around to help the other teachers if needed.

       "𝙸𝚏 𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚋𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚙." Aizawa pulled the chair from the cubicle next to his, they wouldn't mind if he borrowed the chair for a bit.

       "You'd always be of help, Izuku. Here are the Mathematics I quiz from last week." Aizawa handed Izuku half of the class's quiz, decided to do the rest himself. Izuku sat quietly with a red pen in hand, marking the incorrect answers with a check, and circling the correct answers. The android drew swirls with petals on the students who had gotten full marks. Aizawa's never seen someone so excited about grading a quiz.

Students were dumbfounded when they received their quiz scores back, because Ectoplasm-sensei does not draw those spiral with petals for students who passed with full marks. They knew occasionally Aizawa-sensei marked their quizzes too, but he wasn't one to use them too. Maybe they mixed the papers up with another class's....but nope, all the students' names was written on the top right corner. Ectoplasm was amused by his students' reactions, some of them had their eyes bulging out, looking at the giant mark next to their score, others were too busy staring at the score itself, complaining about how they weren't satisfied with their score.

       "Oi, no fucking way I got a lower score than Icy-Hot. I know I got 17 correct." Bakugou slammed his paper onto the podium.

       "𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚜𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚋𝚎 𝚕𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚃𝚘𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚘𝚔𝚒-𝚜𝚊𝚗'𝚜, 𝚒𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚋𝚘𝚝𝚑 𝚐𝚘𝚝 𝚊 𝟿𝟿?" Izuku was standing next to him, staring at the crumbled paper.

       "Getting the same answer as him is the same as being below him, and I am not below that shitty extra." Bakugou growled.

       "Let me see....I didn't grade your test, but—" Ectoplasm tried talking before Bakugou's explosive personality cut in.

       "Then who the fuck did?"

       "𝙸 𝚍𝚒𝚍, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚒𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚏𝚊𝚌𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚠𝚎𝚛 𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚝." Izuku paid no mind to the blond's scowl, "𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚎𝚚𝚞𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗, 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚐𝚘𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚜𝚒𝚐𝚗 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎." Izuku pointed, and there was a negative sign Bakugou had missed. "𝙰𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝, 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍'𝚟𝚎 𝚜𝚞𝚋𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚎𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚜𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐." The android, with the permission of Ectoplasm, wrote out the equation on the board behind them, explaining the steps on solving the problem, even using an easier equation that the explosive blond used.

       "Excellent work, Izuku." Ectoplasm patted Izuku's head, he came to realize Izuku liked it when someone patted his head, as much as he liked to do it to others. "Any more questions?" There was no answer, "I know five of you that failed this quiz." Ectoplasm stared at the five students who failed, if they don't speak up, he won't push them to ask. "If there's no question, you are free to be dismissed for lunch." Students said their 'thank you's and 'Goodbyes before leaving for lunch. Some came up to drag Izuku away, who stared at Ectoplasm, who gave a nod, and allowed himself to get pulled along with lunch.

       "Come on! We're setting two tables together for us all to sit together!" Ashido was the one pulling him along, Kaminari, who also pulled Shinsou along, hummed in agreement behind him. Entering the dining hall, there were already many students in line, buying food, sitting and chatting with friends.

       "Anything you want to eat? Lunch Rush is an awesome cook!" Kaminari cheered, before whispering, "Don't tell my grandma though, she'd get jealous."

       "More like your grandma won't send you her homemade cookies." Shinsou accused, "Can you eat food?"

       "Maybe eating like...bolts and nuts? And drink oil?" Sero replied, it shows he watches too much science fiction movies.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚋𝚘𝚕𝚝𝚜 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚒𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚊𝚝, 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚍 𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚑." Izuku thought Sero meant, he ate bolts and nuts. "𝙼𝚘𝚝𝚘𝚛 𝚘𝚒𝚕 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚋𝚎 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚖𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝚒𝚏 𝚜𝚠𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚍 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚊𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚕𝚞𝚗𝚐𝚜."

       "I didn't mean me! I eat human food! Like, oranges! They're my favorite!" Sero pulled an orange from his pocket, he apparently always carried one around.

       "𝙲𝚒𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚜 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚞𝚗𝚎 𝚜𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚖. 𝙸𝚏 𝙸 𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛 𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚕𝚢, 𝙺𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚛𝚒 𝙳𝚎𝚗𝚔𝚒'𝚜 𝚏𝚊𝚟𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚒𝚜 𝚑𝚊𝚖𝚋𝚞𝚛𝚐𝚎𝚛𝚜."

       "Yes, it is! Can't believe you remembered it!" Kaminari hung onto Izuku, he wasn't that much taller than the android. Around an inch or two taller.

       "𝚈𝚎𝚜, 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚍 𝚜𝚘 𝚏𝚊𝚛 𝚒𝚗 𝚖𝚢 𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚢."

       "So, you can even remember what we talked about today, in like 10 years?" Kaminari's eyes were practically shining.

       "𝚈𝚎𝚜, 𝚞𝚗𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝙸 𝚍𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎 𝚘𝚛 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚌𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚢 𝚍𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎 𝚖𝚢 𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚜, 𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚒𝚗 𝟷𝟶 𝚢𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚜."

       "Man, I'd kill to have a memory like yours!" Kaminari complained, "Think about how I'd never lose my pencils again!"

       "You don't even use a pencil." Ashido chimed in, earning a shove from Kaminari, "I'm hungry, so let's go eat!" Ashido dragged them to the large table, Class 1-A had set up together. There wasn't any assigned seats, but still, they sat how they usually sat, with their own group of friends. Iida ran around, handing each lunch his classmate had ordered, instead of them potentially losing their table. Uraraka was the one pulled Izuku to the lunch line.

       "Uraraka! Good afternoon! What would you like today?" One of the servers there was quite energetic, mostly because Uraraka Ochako was a student they all loved to serve. Unlike other students, she wasn't picky with her food, and appreciates anything she's given.

       "Good afternoon! Anything you recommend?" Uraraka replied happily, she's been hooked on the food here since the start of UA. "Oh, Izuku! This is Takeda-san, he's a really great cook! He can even give you a food that you think you won't like, but then it turns out you'd love it!"

       "𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚊 𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚎𝚎𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚃𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚍𝚊-𝚜𝚊𝚗." Izuku did a small bow.

       "Uraraka, I didn't know you had such a respectful boyfriend!" Takeda laughed, his hand busy plating food.

       "H-He's not- Takeda-san!" Uraraka's face flushed red, "He's not m-my boyfriend!"

       "𝙰𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚎 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚏𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚜?" Izuku asked sadly, he didn't quite understand the word 'boyfriend' and took it as a friend that was a male.

       "I-Izuku, that's not what b-boyfriend means! You are my friend." Uraraka quickly tried to clear up the misunderstandings. First of all, Izuku is her friend. Second of all, she's in high school! Isn't that early for her to think about dating? Third of all, she doesn't know if she's interested in dating, she's busy with wanting to become a hero. There would be a time where she'd have to choose either her lover or her career as a hero, and she doesn't even know if she'd be able to choose between them!

       "I'm teasing, here ya go! Today, Uraraka gets these takoyaki we made with a different recipe! Izuku, you look like one to like katsudons!" Takeda smiles happy, handing them each a tray of their food. "Now, you kids go eat! Come back for seconds, if you like!" The server shooed them away, going to attend to the next person in line.

       "Welcome back! Take any available seat!" Kirishima called to them, he had a whole meat platter in front of him. Uraraka found a seat between Tsuyu and Jirou, while Izuku sat between Iida and Shouto, Bakugou and Kaminari sat in front of them. Most of them were already in their own world, having a conversation with their friends, others, like Izuku, were eating their food quietly.

       "Hey, Izuku." Izuku looked at Mineta who was standing on his chair, because he'd rather stand than get a booster during lunch. "Where do the food go when you eat?" Izuku didn't know the answer, he was simply following the same motions they were doing while they ate.

       "𝙸'𝚖 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚜𝚞𝚛𝚎.." Izuku pulled his awkward looking tie off, he's been practicing ways to tie a tie, but he can't seem to make it look normal. The android took off his jacket, then pulled at his button-up shirt, the top two buttons popping off, revealing his torso. The girls squeaked and looked away, Izuku was undressing! Shouji placed his hands on Izuku's, stopping the android from removing his clothes. Tokoyami used Dark Shadow to cover the views of others staring. It was already the center of attention, when the tables were placed together, and now with Izuku taking his clothes off, everyone was staring.

       "Izuku, you shouldn't do that in public." He explained when Izuku looked up at him in confusion.

       "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚖 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚐𝚘𝚎𝚜."

       "Yeah, but only a dumbass would strip for everyone to watch." Bakugou threw his jacket at Izuku, Iida ran to get a spare shirt for Izuku.

       "You also shouldn't pull button up shirts too harshly, the buttons would fall off." Satou picked up the forgotten buttons, it was clear the android still had trouble with clothes. Honestly, it was quite adorable, but it'd be a problem if he suddenly took off his clothes in public, he might even get arrested! Nobody would want that to happen.

       "Is there a reason why we're having this meeting?" Aizawa asked, shutting the door of the conference room. All of the other teachers where there too. Nedzu, who sat at the end of the U-shaped conference table, quickly found his way onto Aizawa's binding cloth.

       "Yes, come sit!" Nedzu pointed at an empty seat, even with his happy tone, Aizawa knew they were going to talk about something serious. When everyone had taken their seat, it was then that the Principal looked serious. "This is something regarding Izuku."

       "Is there something wrong?"

       "Is he hurt?"

       "What's wrong with Izuku?" and many other questions were asked.

       "He's completely all right. I passed him eating happily with the students in the dining hall." All Might cut in, he was...watching from afar....yeah, he was doing that.

       "Izuku is an incredible android. A really special one. He's actually developing human emotions, unlike previous records of humans making robots all those years ago." Nedzu started, "But...Izuku's android presence in UA is to be kept confidential, don't let him go too far from town, don't let him out of your sight."

       "Why do we need to do that?" Snipe asked, he's one of the teachers at UA.

       "Izuku is an android, and UA is already under close watch by the Commission. If they were to find out about Izuku, we won't know what'd they do."  Recovery Girl spoke up, she's the nurse at UA.

       "I see....that's a reasonable answer.." Midnight thought over what Recovery Girl had just said, none of them really like the Commission. The Hero Commission used to be something they all admired when they were teenagers, but now, as Pro-Heroes, they wanted nothing to do with the Hero Commission. On the outside, the Commission looked like a literal dream, but in reality, they use others for their own personal benefit, having others do their dirty deeds while they had the perfect image. The meeting went on for another half hour, before teachers had to return to teach their class.

       "As of right now, Izuku is a human student. The Commission also thinks Izuku is a human, let's keep it that way." Cementoss finished, before dismissing everyone, and leaving himself.

       "Aizawa." Nedzu stopped Aizawa from leaving the room, not yet.

       "I know, keep him out of trouble. Don't leave him out of sight." Aizawa knew what Nedzu was going to say to him, and as much as he hated stripping that privacy from Izuku, if it was to keep him safe, it would be worth it.

       "Yes. That and, I would like it if we don't restrict his movements, because he's a curious human." Nedzu requested, though Izuku can't be known to the world, it was his android status that can't be known.

       "I won't."

       "Good. Now, Izuku's android status must be—"

       "Kept secret." Aizawa finished, walking out of the conference room.

Chapter Text

The bell rung, indicating lunch was over. Students rushed to their own class, not wanting to be late. Class 1-A arrived to their empty classroom. Today, was a Tuesday. On Tuesday's, Class 1-A had Heroics with All Might after Lunch, then ending the day with Modern Literature with Pro-Hero Cementoss. 

       "If you're not going to go into class, don't block the way." A tired voice spoke from behind, it was Aizawa. Upon seeing their teacher, the students scrambled into the classroom and to their seats.

       "Sensei! Where's All Might?" Iida Tenya asked, as one would if their teacher was missing.

       "He's out right now, but he'll be joining us shortly. Today, your afternoon class has been cleared to focus on today's Heroics course." Aizawa held up a card, with the letters ' R E S C U E ' plastered in capital letters in blue. "Today's class turned into a class with three instructors, All Might and me, and another one."

       "Looks like it'll be a lot of work this time, too...I'm exhausted!" Kaminari complained, quiet enough for Aizawa to notice, he was still sore from yesterday's training. Ashido agreed, pumping her fist lowly.

       "Idiots, this is part of the duty of a hero!" Kirishima punched Kaminari lightly from behind. "I'm ready to do some rescuing!"

       "Nobody can beat me when it comes to water, kero." Tsuyu joined in from the red-head's right.

       "Hey, I'm not done talking." Aizawa didn't look angry, he just looked more tired than a few seconds ago. "If you want to wear your costumes if you want, because some of your costumes most likely would limit your abilities when training today." Unlike most schools, there are no windows in the classroom, except for the ones by the door. The reason was because the wall is used to store students' hero costumes. "This training will take place off-campus. So, we'll be taking the bus. Now, I'm done. Start getting ready. If you're late, I'm leaving you here." Aizawa then left the classroom. Leaving the students to change into their costumes if needed and meeting them out at the front of campus.

Despite how Aizawa threatened to leave the class if they were late, he still waited an extra 20 minutes for Sero and Kaminari who really just took their time to change into their hero costumes. Iida, being his usual self, who also somehow had gotten his hands on a whistle, from god knows where, gathered the class around, instructed the class to form two lines by their seat number order while boarding the bus.

       "Iida's really going at full throttle..." Uraraka didn't know whether to laugh for not, Iida kept blowing the whistle in his mouth to get people's attention.

At that moment, Iida felt utterly embarrassed.

       "Apologies, I didn't think it'd be this type of bus.." Ashido laughed loudly next to Iida. He had imagined the inside of the bus to be like those Tourist Buses, where there are seats of two facing forward, but they were more similar to Metro buses. There were 4 connecting seats on either side of the bus, back facing the window, more seats towards the back, and plenty of room for them to stand if needed.

       "Then, there was no point, huh?" Ashido's words took a jab at Iida, she's too busy laughing to see her words stab through Iida.

       "Midoriya." Tsuyu turned to the android sitting next to her.

       "𝚈𝚎𝚜, 𝙰𝚜𝚞𝚒?" Izuku looked over at Tsuyu, she was wearing her Hero costume, a large headband over her head, bright green turtleneck bodysuit, with gloves that have large buckles on each wrist guard, in the color tan. Two matching belts straps at either shoulder connecting to the one around her chest, leading down under her armpits. There was also two black lines running down her suit, all framed with yellow, ending with green webbed flippers resembling frogs, just like her Quirk.

       "Call me 'Tsu' instead." Tsuyu allowed was a nickname she allowed her close friends to call her.

       "𝙸𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝." Izuku paused for a moment, "......𝚃𝚜𝚞."

       "Will you be getting a costume? You can become a hero with us, kero." Tsuyu put a finger to her chin, sticking her tongue out, like she was thinking.

       "Wouldn't that be manly? Being the first Hero without a Quirk. Plus the fact of you being an Android! You can do lots of flashy stuff!" Kirishima cheered, "My Hardening, like you've seen, is strong against others." Kirishima's muscles bulking out from being hardened, "unfortunately, it doesn't look much though."

       "𝙽𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎, 𝙸 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚒𝚜 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚕!" Izuku's eyes shined, reaching a hand to touch Kirishima's forearm. It wasn't the first time he's seen Kirishima's Quirk, but it was and always will be fascinating to him. You could feel every ridge on his arm, it was weird, but a good kind.

       "My Navel-Laser, of course, will beat you in the flashiness and strength aspect," Aoyama Yuuga gently pushed his hair back, and it somehow seemed like roses were growing around him.

       "But it's not great that it gives you stomachaches." Ashido knew just where to hit them, getting an instant 'K.O.' it wasn't intentional, and many found it amusing to watch.

       "𝙸𝚗 𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝚏𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚑𝚢 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚐, 𝚃𝚘𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚘𝚔𝚒-𝚜𝚊𝚗'𝚜 𝙱𝚊𝚔𝚞𝚐𝚘𝚞-𝚜𝚊𝚗'𝚜 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚊𝚕𝚜𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚐𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚜." Todoroki had his eyes closed, and seem to be sleeping. And Bakugou made no move to join in on the conversations, only clicking his tongue.

       "Bakugou's always mad, so he doesn't seem like the type that'd be popular." Tsuyu blurted, she's most likely the only other female, other than Ashido, and maybe Hagakure, who don't mind speaking what's on their mind.

       "What the hell! You wanna fight!" Bakugou screeched, that one sentence only annoyed him to the core.

       "See?" Tsuyu pointed at Bakugou, resting her case.

       "We haven't known each other that long, so it's amazing that everyone already knows his personality is crap steeped in sewage." Kaminari had a smug face, while Bakugou literally vibrated with anger.

       "What's with that vocabulary, ugly bastard?! I'll kill you!" Bakugou turned his attention towards Kaminari, gripping onto the railing as he threatened the electric blond.

       "𝙸'𝚖 𝟷𝟶𝟶% 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎, 𝙼𝚞𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚛 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚘 𝚙𝚊𝚜𝚜 𝚊𝚜 𝚊 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘." Izuku cut in, reminding Bakugou, he's training to become a hero here.

       "Shut up, shitty Deku!"

       "𝚂𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚖𝚎 𝚊 𝚗𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎...𝙸, 𝚝𝚘𝚘, 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚘𝚗𝚎....𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙵𝚘𝚛 𝙽𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚜.....𝙺𝚊𝚌𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗." Izuku smiled, not at all intimidated by Bakugou's scowl.

       "Haah?! What kind of name is that?!" Bakugou was not satisfied by that nickname.

       "See? Even Izuku's teasing Bakugou~" Ashido sang, pointing at Izuku.

       "𝙸𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚕𝚢 𝚏𝚊𝚒𝚛 𝚒𝚏 𝙸 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊 𝚗𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚎." Izuku concluded, if he was given a nickname, though it doesn't have a meaning to it, he should give a nickname in return. Nicknames were used to show familiarity towards something/someone, or even used between friends. There's no evidence, but Izuku definitely made nicknames for his classmates, not that he'd outright use them.

       "Tch. I don't fucking care." Bakugou sat back down, deciding to ignore them for the rest of the ride, because he will not waste his time on extras.

       "𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕, 𝙺𝚊𝚌𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗." That might just become his favorite word, if nobody stops him. Bakugou stuck his middle finger at him as a reply, two of them in fact. On the plus side, nobody seem to be affected by his attitude.

The bus came to a stop, students got of the bus to be greeted by someone who wore a white space suit design, but instead of an actual suit, it had more of a puffy jacket form. They had a black helmet, with white, that seemed like eyes, and a pair of yellow boots. Immediately, she was recognized to be the Space Hero: Thirteen!

       "Everyone, I have been waiting for you!" Thirteen was excited to show the new class what they'd be doing today.

       "𝚂𝚙𝚊𝚌𝚎 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘: 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚎𝚗. 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚣𝚎𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝚜𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚎, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚊𝚒𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚕𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚕𝚢 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚘 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘𝚗𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝚙𝚎𝚘𝚙𝚕𝚎 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜. 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔: 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝙷𝚘𝚕𝚎..." Izuku hasn't realized he's mumbling the information he's found on Thirteen out loud, but nobody else stopped him, too busy being excited that they're meeting another Pro-Hero. The Hero was quick to lead them into the Dome building, giving a quick explanation as what to expect, and expect the unexpected, and brief information on all the eight different zones, and roughly 6 disaster scenarios they'd be seeing. The proper name for the building was "Unforeseen Simulation Joint" often shortened as "USJ" had the purpose of training heroes-in-training for disaster rescues, created by the Great Thirteen, herself!

       "Thirteen, where's All Might?" Aizawa walked to Thirteen, giving a look around to hopefully spot the other Hero hiding somewhere. "He was supposed to meet us here."

       "About that...." Thirteen silently held up three fingers, not needing to speak any further. Aizawa understood what that meant, and he so very much wished to give that man a hard smack in the head, perhaps that would be the only way to knock some sense into him. The public didn't know about All Might's current health condition, and now only able to keep to Hero work for a certain time period. And this time, he did too much....some would say, on his way to UA, but ultimately running out of time, not being able to hold onto his Hero form much longer. Though, he's safe and sound, resting....anxiously in the lounge.

       "Well...It can't be helped..." Luckily, they took precautions, just incase All Might couldn't make it to their lecture today. "Shall we begin?" Aizawa stepped to the side, for Thirteen to make her speech, Izuku followed behind Aizawa. It doesn't take anyone to see as Izuku also grew attached to Aizawa, even if they both hadn't realized that.

       "Let's see....before we begin, please. Hm, let me say one thing...er...maybe two...or three..." Thirteen continued, the numbers increasing. "Everyone, I am sure you are aware of my Quirk, Black Hole. I can suck up anything and turn it to dust. I've used this power to save many people, but it is a power that can also kill easily. Some of you also have Quirks like that, right? In our society, personal Quirks have been certified and regulated. At first glance, it doesn't seem to be a problem...However, please do not forget that there are many Quirks out there that can easily kill with one wrong step." Nobody knew if she was talking from experience, "You're learning to use your Quirks to save people's lives. The reason you have these powers given to you, is not for you to harm others. I hope you will leave here with an understanding that you have these powers in order to help those around you."  Thirteen's so cool. Was probably what most of them are thinking. As she concluded her speech, the Space Hero gave a quick bow. Many youngsters try to go into the Hero career, thinking it's the easiest to earn money, putting villains in jail. They fail to remember that Heroes aren't just someone to save someone from being assaulted in a back-alley. A Heroes' job is to protect it's citizens, not just physically, but also mentally. There are times where many Pros neglect those in need, those who just needed a little light of hope, to brighten their world in the vast darkness, because they seem to be alright. There are scars and wounds that are well-hidden from sight, scars on the heart, and some would constantly pick and peel at the surface trying to heal itself, then they'd bleed, and nobody can see the bleeding that hides itself under layers of skin and muscles. Nobody to be there to place a bandage or stitch over the wound, staying and helping them till the bleeding subsides. That's one of the very aspect they want to find in a young Hero-to-be. Someone who'd be there, to hold them up when needed. 

       "All right, then—" Aizawa stopped in his steps when he felt someone stopping him from stepping closer towards the steps. The Erasure Hero stared at the android behind him. Izuku shook his head, prompting Aizawa not to go any further, it looked almost like a warning.

       "𝙰𝚒𝚣𝚊𝚠𝚊-𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒.....𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝.....𝙳𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚛......" Izuku finally spoke, his grip as strong as metal (quite literally, mind you). There wasn't an explanation on why he didn't want the teacher to move any closer, just he shouldn't. Because there's danger.

       "What're you—" The lights around the dome smoked as electricity surged through them, someone else is here. Someone's watching. Years of training, Aizawa knew when there's a change in environment, knows when there's someone else watching, someone who isn't supposed to be here. He whipped his head around, just in time as dark purple mist comes to view, two yellow glowing eyes staring right back at him, before expanding. The next moment, there was a hand reaching out. "Don't move!" He instructed the students, now he understood why Izuku stopped him. Izuku is able to sense the amount of occupants in the building, and he had realized there's too many people to account for as just the students and two Pro-Heroes in the dome. "Thirteen, protect the students!" His arm swung out protectively.

       "Wait- What's that?" Kirishima pointed, there were many people coming out from the mist, he squinted his eyes, trying to enhance his vision. "Is this like the entrance exam?" He took a step forward, before he was abruptly stopped by a harsh shout.

       "I told you don't move!" They knew there was something wrong when Aizawa wore his goggles, he only ever uses them against fighting villains when he used his Quirk. "Those are actual villains."

Chapter Text

       "Thirteen and Eraser Head......All Might was supposed to be here, too.." The purple mist spoke, you couldn't see where his mouth was. One man stood in front of the mist, looks like he's the leader of the whole army that emerged, even the one that who wore a pair of beige pants with two knee-pads, had a large black monster-like body, muscles that rivaled All Might's. It's body littered with scars, with their brain exposed for all to see.

       "Where is he?" A scratchy voice spoke out, it was the one who looked like the mastermind. The one who had fourteen....grayish-blue zombie hands positioned onto different parts of his body. "To think I even went through the trouble of bringing a whole crowd here... All Might... I can't believe he's not here." He growled out angrily, "Will he come if we kill some kids?" The thought of hurting his students triggered Aizawa's anger, his capture weapon moving at his will, expanding outwards, making him seem bigger and more intimidating.

       "Aren't there sensors for trespassers?" Yaoyorozu Momo asked, she wasn't accusing anyone. She didn't understand how the villains could easily infiltrate one of the most prestigious Hero School in the area.

       "Either way, the sensors aren't working. That means they have someone with a Quirk that can do that." Todoroki concluded, he was ready to fight if needed. "Picking an isolated area, at a time where there's limited Heroes.....these villains might be fools, but they're not dumb. This surprise attack of theirs was carefully planned with some sort of goal set in mind." Many students tensed at Todoroki's words, because he's right. Everything was too perfect, way too perfect  for everything to go so smoothly.

       "Thirteen, start the evacuation. Try contacting the school. If these villains had something to counteract the sensors, it's possible they have someone interfering with the radio-waves. Kaminari, you should try contacting the school with your Quirk, too." Kaminari nodded and went right to work, "Thirteen, I'll leave them to you." Aizawa them launched himself forward into the crowd. Making quick work of the squads of villains in front.

       "Didn't it say there'd only be All Might and Thirteen? Who is that?" A woman yelled, her hair floating out aggressively. It isn't a surprise if they didn't know him, Aizawa was an underground Pro-Hero. He worked mostly behind the seen. out of the spot-light.

       "Doesn't matter! If he thinks he can come at us by himself...then he's an idiot!" The villain that had his fingers shaped like barrels of a guns, readies himself to shoot bullets, only to realize his Quirk isn't working. The small hesitation they had, was enough for Aizawa to wrap his capture weapon around them, pulling them together, and swinging them around to the villains who tried to ambush him from behind.

       "H-He's Eraser Head! He can erase Quirks just by looking at them!" One of the villains on the side spoke, his determination struggling to keep itself intact. Those who weren't at all intimidated by whatever Aizawa's Quirk was, charged in full force, not working about their Quirk being erased, it was a rumor that the Erasure Hero's Quirk does not work on Mutant-Types, and they were willing to bet on that rumor if it means to get their way. True to the rumor, Aizawa couldn't erase those Quirks that had it's physical appearance on it's host. What he lacks in his Quirk, are picked up on his combat prowess. The villain with messy grayish-blue hair scratched his neck in annoyance, mumbling how he detest Pro-Heroes. The purple mist, using the split second he has between Aizawa's erasure, warped himself in front of the fleeing students, blocking their only exit.

       "I won't let you leave." Aizawa cursed, he had made sure to keep his eyes on the one villain that seemed the most troublesome, but in the second he blinked, the villain took it's opportunity to slip by. Dropping the villain at hand. Aizawa tried to return back to the side of his students, only for his path to be blocked by the sea of villains. He cursed once more, only having to entrust the class with Thirteen, until he can go and help her. "Nice to meet you. We are the League of Villains." The mist introduced who they were, as if he didn't just threaten their lives. From hearing his introduction, one thing was clear. Their objective is All Might, they're here to kill the Symbol of Peace. As a villain, he still asked the students respectfully as to the whereabouts of All Might. Thirteen readied herself to use her Quirk, before Bakugou and Kirishima jumped forward in a fit of rage upon hearing they'd want to hurt All Might. Bakugou igniting a large explosion, that seemed to do no damage as it's whole body seemed to be engulfed in the mist, except for the metal brace around it's neck, dodging the explosive assault against him.

       "Move away, you two!" Thirteen shouted, she hadn't had the time to know the names of the students, but right now...isn't exactly the time for friendly introductions. And luckily she doesn't, it would be troublesome if Villains catch the names of these newly hatched Heroes. In a blink of an eye, the students (most of them at least) were scattered all around the different zones of the dome.

       "Where'd they—" Iida, along with a few other students remained at the platform.

       "𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐.....𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝚊𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚋𝚞𝚒𝚕𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐." Izuku informed Iida.

       "What should we do? Physical attacks can't hit him, and he can warp everything..." Sero realized it when Bakugou's attack did no damage, and the fact that his classmates were warped away.

       "Class Rep!" Thirteen caught the attention of Iida, "I'm entrusting this task with you. Please, run to the school and tell them about our predicament here." Iida didn't have to open his mouth to protest for his classmates to know he'd be saying, he couldn't leave his classmates and flee on his own. Satou along with the rest of the classmates left on the platform vowed to protect him, assuring him that if he went to ask for help, they'd end this whole situation much quicker. "Use your Quirk in order to protect others!" Thirteen opened the small cap of her gloved hand, using her Quirk to suck the purple mist, giving Iida the opening he needed to go request for help.

Izuku found himself staring at the bird-like creature. There was so much information he's processing at the moment, part of his system is telling him to obey Aizawa's order on to staying back, but another part of him is telling him that he should help the teacher that's busy keeping the villains limited to the plaza below. The android, like the rest of the class, has full confidence in their teacher. But, there's only so much the Pro-Hero could take. If Izuku can realize, that the instant when Aizawa's hair stop floating, is the short time where he blinks and releases his Quirk...then there's no doubt a villain would realize the same thing. And he did, the slim man who's body was covered with severed hands used that opportunity to get to Aizawa. When Izuku's eyes witness the teacher's elbow crumbling, the first and only thought on his mind was, 𝚂𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚑𝚒𝚖, and his legs moved on it's own. Jumping down the steps to the Erasure Hero, because he has to 𝚜𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚑𝚒𝚖. Izuku's hand reached out to grab Aizawa by the back of the capture weapon and pull, bringing them both back a few feet.

       "Iz- You—" Aizawa stared at Izuku, utterly dumbfounded, ignoring the fact that the skin on his elbow is crumbling away, revealing the red pulsing muscle underneath.

       "𝙴𝚛𝚊𝚜𝚎𝚛—" Izuku didn't have enough time to speak before a villain came his way, moving Aizawa to the side, ready to kick the villain away. That's what it looked like, before changing trajectory, kicking the air, and moving back once more. "𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚍: 𝙽𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝙻𝚊𝚢 𝙰 𝙷𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝙾𝚗 𝙰 𝙷𝚞𝚖𝚊𝚗." The android beeped, moving away once more to avoid another villain. It was a command, he has to follow all commands, and that's what he'd be doing. Instead of fighting them, Izuku sought to evade their attacks, make them worn out.

       "Isn't that sad? Having to be saved by a student?" The villain laughed, the one who disintegrated his arm. Before any of them could react, the monstrous creature was behind Izuku. The android tried to back away, but he was too slow. Aizawa rolled towards the side, he was thrown by Izuku.

       "IZUKU!" Aizawa yelled out, the name slipping past his lips. It didn't matter because, right now, the giant creature was holding Izuku down, pushing its weight onto him.

       "Izuku, huh? Interesting...." The villain smiled sinisterly, Aizawa realized...he shouldn't have said the Android's name, no-matter the circumstances, he shouldn't have, "Why don't I generously introduce my big friend here. He's the anti-Symbol of Peace, the bioengineered Noumu." Just as he finished, the so-called Noumu gave off an ear-deafening screech, it's jaw stretching much larger than one of a normal....bird....human could. "This kid's got guts, charging in to save his dearest teacher. But, that's all he is. A kid...who was courageous." The Noumu clenched it's hand on one of Izuku's arm.

       "No-" Aizawa got up to run towards Izuku, his path blocked by more villains. The Noumu pulled Izuku's arm backwards, more so than how a hand is able to go, there's a few popping sounds of Izuku's shoulder joints, there weren't real bones underneath the metal, but the Android's body was one that sort of mimicked how a human's body would.

       "Oh-ho-ho, aren't you a brave, little, hero~" He taunts Izuku, signaling the Noumu to continue with its assault. Izuku made no sound, even when his broken arm was slammed against the ground. The scene brought Aizawa back to the video, where Izuku allowed the abuser to continue their ongoing act of violence. "Hm. What if we killed you?" Aizawa knew it was a bluff, but at the same time it wasn't. The villain just wanted to rile him, and it did. He fell right into their trap, right when Aizawa powered through the villains to get to Izuku, the creature turned it's attention from the android underneath to Aizawa. "Gotcha~" In a swift move, the Eraser Hero is pinned on the ground. Eraserhead isn't made of metal like Izuku, he's made of skin. Made of skin that easily tear and bleed from the slightest scratch. "You can erase Quirks. What a wonderful Quirk...but it's nothing impressive. You might as well be considered Quirkless when facing Noumu." The Noumu pulled Aizawa's head up by his head, making him look at the villain who towered over him currently. The warp gate makes it's appearance next to the grayish-blue haired villain.

       "Shigaraki Tomura." It seems like the villains don't care whether their name's being exposed or not.

       "Kurogiri, did you kill Thirteen?" Izuku lifted his head up, he liked Thirteen. She's a nice Hero.

       "I put Thirteen out of action, but one of the students was able to run away." The warp gate, Kurogiri, spoke in a respectful manner.

       "Huh?" Shigaraki Tomura turned towards Kurogiri. "....so troublesome..." Shigaraki felt an itch, it was itchy, he has to scratch it. Get rid of the problem that's causing him to itch. "If you weren't a warp gate, I would've crushed you to pieces." he threatened, scratching violently at his neck.

       "We won't be able to win against a dozen heroes." Kurogiri informed, most of the villains here are small-time villains.

       "Fine, guess it's game over." Shigaraki's voice was calm, with a hint of anger behind them. He wanted All Might to be there, but the Number One Hero was no where to be seen. "Before we leave, let's smash some of his pride as the Symbol of Peace!" Shigaraki turned towards the students who clearly didn't hide very well. The villain was fast, really fast, he was in front of Tsuyu Asui in a swift movement, reaching a hand towards the frog girl.

       "I AM HERE!" All Might's voice cut through. Shigaraki's hand froze before it could touch Tsuyu, she took the opportunity to move underwater, dragging Mineta and Shinsou along with her. The villain turned look for the owner of the voice, but there was no All Might in sight.

       "Where is he?" Shigaraki sounded obsessed, and in a sense....he is.

       "I AM HERE!" There it was, again. And again, and again. But there was no All Might. Then Shigaraki realized, it wasn't coming from just anywhere in the dome, it was coming from Izuku.

       "Am I a joke to you?" Shigaraki was frustrated, he was being played by a mere kid. He stalked over towards Izuku, "If you want to die so badly, I'll help you out—" The villain stops when he realized his Quirk wasn't working, meaning it was being Erased.

       "Don't. Touch. My. Student." Aizawa glared at Shigaraki, through the bleeding. The Noumu pulled Aizawa's head back, before smashing it violently onto the ground.

       "𝙴𝚛𝚊𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚍..." Izuku was staring at Aizawa, ignoring the existence of Shigaraki's hand, the hand that's inching towards his face. But the decaying villain was stopped once more, this time by a loud crashing from the entrance/exit of the dome.

       "I am here!" The actual, in the flesh, All Might revealed himself from the disappearing smoke. He had this terrible feeling, as if something dreadful was about to happen. So, he decided to check on them, meeting a distressed Iida on his way. It angered All Might, a Hero who was always smiling. It must have been frightening for these new students, and troublesome for his coworkers to fight against so many villains while protecting the students. Those who could see All Might, cried as the feeling of fear finally caught up to them. Some villains tried to get away at the sight of the Symbol of Peace. For Izuku, hearing All Might was enough for him. Because Aizawa is hurt, he's losing blood. The android didn't need to look over, to know that there was no smile on All Might's face, just hearing the Hero's tone, he knows All Might was not smiling.

       "I've been waiting, hero." The tone Shigaraki used when saying 'Hero' was utter disgust, and sounded like he was mocking him....them. "You're a trash of society." All Might made a quick move to knock out the rest of the villains on the plaza, along with the ones who tried to flee.

       "I'm sorry, Aizawa." All Might apologizes as he picked the injured Hero up, using his speed to his advantage, All Might prioritized the safety of the students who were still within reach. Shinsou Hitoshi, Tsuyu Asui, Mineta Minoru, and Izuku. "I'm leaving Aizawa to you. Head to the entrance." he commanded the four students. Shigaraki threw a tantrum when All Might knocked a hand off his face, apologizing to the hand, he called 'Father.'

Shinsou hauled Aizawa onto his back, refusing when Izuku offered to do so. "You should take care of that arm of yours." was what Shinsou said when Izuku questioned why the Brainwashing Hero wouldn't allow him to carry their teacher. Mineta lead the way, looking out for potential villains, Tsuyu in the back making sure there was nobody trying to ambush them, while Izuku made sure Aizawa didn't slip off Shinsou's back. Their movement were slow, because Aizawa was a grown man (so he's not very light).

       "Let's hurry before any villains see us!" Mineta rushed, and oh boy does the indigo-haired Hero want to kick the shorty in the face. He's not the one trying his best to carrying their homeroom teacher to safety.

       "𝙰𝚗𝚝𝚒-𝚂𝚢𝚖𝚋𝚘𝚕 𝚘𝚏 𝙿𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚎....𝙸𝚏 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚛𝚢 𝚝𝚘 𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚝 𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝙼𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝......𝙰𝚗 𝚊𝚍𝚟𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚘𝚞𝚜 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚋𝚎....𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚌𝚔 𝙰𝚋𝚜𝚘𝚛𝚙𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗..." Izuku theorized as they retreated slowly towards the stairs. "𝙰𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚢𝚜𝚒𝚜 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎....𝙸 𝚊𝚙𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚐𝚒𝚣𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚋𝚞𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚗 𝚘𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚕𝚕, 𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎 𝚎𝚜𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝙰𝚒𝚣𝚊𝚠𝚊-𝚜𝚊𝚗 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚊𝚏𝚎𝚝𝚢." The android gave a small pat on Aizawa's back, he had learned very quickly that patting sometimes helps....just a bit, before turning back to make his way back to All Might.

       "Wait—" Shinsou and Mineta called out to stop him.

       "It's okay, he has a plan. We should first help Aizawa."  Tsuyu had complete trust in Izuku, he was a trustworthy person.

When Izuku arrived back to the central plaza, there was more destruction than not even 10 minutes ago. There was a huge chunk of ice, that was definitely not there before. Todoroki had frozen part of the Noumu who had All Might in its grasp. Bakugou had Kurogiri pinned down by the metal brace, Kirishima backing him up. Shigaraki, who stood a good distance from the group, scratched his neck once more, going on how he was disappointed in making himself vulnerable against Bakugou. With an order from the Villain, the Noumu pulled itself free from Todoroki's icy prison, not caring how its arm tore off. Within seconds, its arm grew back and charged towards the Explosive Hero. This time, though, Izuku was ready, memorizing what All Might did, he grabed the three students and backed off to the side, before Noumu could get a direct hit on them.

       "...so annoying..." Shigaraki complained, voice laced with venom. "Doesn't matter no more, kill them." All Might went in for another punch at the creature, despite the failed attempts from before. "I've already told you, your punching is useless against Noumu." Shigaraki hated repeating himself.

       "𝙵𝚊𝚕𝚜𝚎. 𝙸𝚏 𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝙼𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚞𝚎𝚜 𝚙𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚛𝚊𝚙𝚒𝚍𝚕𝚢, 𝚍𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚕𝚢 𝟹𝟶𝟶 𝚘𝚛 𝚜𝚘 𝚋𝚕𝚘𝚠𝚜...𝚒𝚝 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚌𝚔 𝙰𝚋𝚜𝚘𝚛𝚙𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙽𝚘𝚞𝚖𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚜." Izuku informed, his grip on Bakugou's Hero suit tightens, as the ash-blond struggles in his hold. All Might understood what Izuku was telling him, if he were to continuously punch the Noumu, the Shock Absorption wouldn't be able to keep up, giving him the strength he needs to defeat the creature that was 'meant' to destroy him.

       "....you're..." Shigaraki glared at Izuku, then it hit him. Izuku had no injuries, he wasn't bleeding, and he's either great at acting....or his broken arm didn't affect him at all. Whatever his Quirk was....Shigaraki wanted it. Not wasting any time, Shigaraki was in front of the students once more, hand reaching out towards Izuku. "....interesting...." They were too slow, in two seconds Izuku would turn into dust, Todoroki's ice won't be quick enough to reach him, even Bakugou's quick reflexes can't help because they're too late. Then a shot of bullet came flying over, penetrating Shigaraki's hand. The villain cried out in pain as he was shot once, twice, three more, the other Pro-Heroes were here. They were here, and the students are safe. The Heroes made quick work of the remaining villains left around the building, yelling injured students to safety. Kurogiri had gotten the chance to escape with Tomura Shigaraki, but right now, the safety of the students are their priority, they can't abandon them to look for the two villains without any leads.

Chapter Text

Izuku made quick recovery since the incident at USJ, his broken arm was easily fixed with metal plates, screws, and some good ole wielding. Hatsume did a great job too, replicating Izuku's arm exactly how it was, you wouldn't even be able to guess that Izuku's arm was fixed with metal....if you didn't know he was an android in the first place. UA is currently experiencing backlash from the media, regarding the whole 'Villains Infiltrating UA' fiasco. The school decided to push forward the yearly Sports Festival as a way to avert the attention of the media. Overall, it allowed the students to show their potential to scouts that were in the audience. Bakugou had came in first place, Todoroki in second, and Tokoyami in third. Truth be told, if Iida hadn't withdrew from the competition due to some unforeseen circumstances, he might've been able to take the spot from Tokoyami. Unfortunately, Izuku was unable to join in the fun, because his existence shouldn't be known to the world. Not yet, not when the group of villains who called themselves "The League Of Villains" still lurking around in the shadows. And the possibility of the Hero Commission keeping a close eye on UA. The Sports Festival was also beneficial for those students from the Department of Support, who could show off their inventions, and those in the General Education, who can use this as a second chance to have an opportunity to take the Hero course. With the Sports Festival coming to an end, interning's were starting up. Some students were offered to intern at particular agencies, while those who did not receive nominations from Pro Heroes, took on one of the forty Agencies who agreed to take in UA students as their apprentice for the week.

Izuku was asked by All Might, to go visit a former homeroom teacher of his, called Gran Torino. 'To check on his health' was the excuse, but Izuku knew All Might didn't want the android to feel left out when all the other students are interning.

       "𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘, 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝙸𝚣𝚞𝚔𝚞, 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚄𝙰 𝙷𝚒𝚐𝚑." Izuku knocked on the door of the somewhat rundown home. The door creaked open from Izuku's knocking, like it does in horror movies. Out on the center of the room, laid a old man in a yellow suit, there was substance under him that looked like blood. However, the scene didn't faze Izuku, as he just stares and waited for the man to get up. After a minute or two, when the man didn't move, Izuku spoke once more, "𝙳𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍 𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎? 𝚂𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝙸 𝚊𝚕𝚎𝚛𝚝 𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚖𝚋𝚞𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎?" The android took a step in, maybe his sensors miscalculated, and the man was actually dead..

       "Not surprised? I could've been dead." The man laughed as he sat up, waving his hand, urging Izuku to come in.

       "𝙸𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚍𝚎𝚌𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎𝚍, 𝙸 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚊𝚕𝚎𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚘𝚏𝚏𝚒𝚌𝚒𝚊𝚕𝚜, 𝙶𝚛𝚊𝚗 𝚃𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚘-𝚜𝚊𝚗."

       "And how do you know I wasn't dead?" 

       "𝙼𝚢 𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚘𝚛𝚜 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚍𝚎𝚝𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚝, 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚎, 𝚑𝚎𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝, 𝚠𝚎𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚜. 𝙸 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚏𝚊𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚢 𝚌𝚎𝚛𝚝𝚊𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝟷𝟶𝟶% 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚝𝚑𝚢." Izuku explained to the former Pro-Hero.

       "What if I was actually dead, and your sensors didn't pick that up?" Gran Torino, with the assistance of the android, cleaned up the mess on the floor.

       "𝙼𝚢 𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚘𝚛𝚜 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚏𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚍."

       "Just because it hasn't happened, doesn't mean it would never happen. Toshinori, I taught you this."

       "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝙸𝚣𝚞𝚔𝚞." The android corrected him, Toshinori was All Might's name.

       "Yes, yes. What was your name?" Gran Torino doesn't seem to have the greatest memory out there.

       "𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝙸𝚣𝚞𝚔𝚞."

       "Ah, got it." The retired Hero was currently heating some Taiyaki in the microwave. "What was it again?" Now, Izuku knew Gran Torino was playing around, having Izuku repeat his name over and over again. Even so, he told the Hero his name once more. For an old man in their 70's, Gran Torino was quite an energetic man. "Come, come! Sit. Toshinori must've sent you to me, so I could entertain you." He patted the seat next to him.

       "𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚝𝚊𝚒𝚢𝚊𝚔𝚒 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚞𝚛𝚗 𝚒𝚗 𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚡𝚒𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝟷𝟹 𝚜𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚜, 𝚒𝚏 𝚒𝚝'𝚜 𝚔𝚎𝚙𝚝 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚖𝚒𝚌𝚛𝚘𝚠𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚘𝚘 𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚐." Izuku stalked over to the microwave......ah, he doesn't know how to work the microwave. Burning food can cause fire, and its best not to commit arson, even when it is by accident. Without a second thought, Izuku broke the glass of the microwave to remove the plate of fish-shaped cake. "𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚝𝚊𝚒𝚢𝚊𝚔𝚒 𝚒𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚋𝚞𝚛𝚗𝚝. 𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝚗𝚎𝚠𝚜."

       "And it was at the cost of a microwave." Gran Torino pointed to the microwave that suddenly sparked a bit. Sure, he could have told Izuku that the microwave would've stopped on it's own, but where's the fun in that? "It was a new one too."

       "𝙸𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎, 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚎 𝚒𝚝? 𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚐𝚘 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚎𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚞𝚢 𝚊 𝚗𝚎𝚠 𝚘𝚗𝚎." Izuku had already begun searching for the closest market that sold kitchen appliances. Money wouldn't be a problem, since Aizawa had given him some, before he left to go see the former Hero.

       "Nah," Gran Torino waved a hand, his voice was exaggerated, "We can just fix the glass tomorrow, no rush. Now sit with me and let's watch some old documentaries." If the older Hero offered Izuku one of his taiyaki, which is his favorite food in the world, that he'd never share with anyone.....Toshinori doesn't have to know, he has favorites.

Unsurprisingly, Izuku found a new person to add to his list of favorites. Lately, all he's been telling Aizawa were about how Gran Torino had taught him how to crochet. That and when Aizawa asked the android if he made the new gloves that were left at the teacher's desk, and Izuku did not tangle his limbs between the yarns. Izuku told his teacher, who often acted as a guardian, about how Gran Torino taught him how to jump off the walls fairly quickly, though the result ended with a literal body print of him on the wall. He also told Aizawa about how he broke the former Hero's microwave, that they replaced the next day. Gran Torino also liked watching All Might documentaries, but told Izuku that he couldn't tell All Might about it, and Aizawa's Eraserhead, so he could tell Aizawa. So, if anyone asked why Gran Torino has a bunch of All Might DvDs at his house, they were hallucinating. In the span of three days, the retired Hero was able to teach Izuku more than he did when he was at UA. Today, they'd take the train through Hosu City, to Tokyo. The excuse was how Gran Torino liked the taiyaki sold near the west of Tokyo, but the android knew there was a completely different reason. Despite going on about Gran Torino for hours, they went onto the topic of Hosu City, because Iida Tenya currently interns in Hosu City. Izuku brought up the fact that Iida Tenya had been acting strangely. More so than usual, Iida always looked like he was distracted by something. He knew so little, only how his older brother, who's a Pro-Hero, currently paralyzed from the waist down and hospitalized.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝙶𝚛𝚊𝚗 𝚃𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚘—"

       "If you keep talking about Gran Torino, I'm going to be jealous that I'm not your favorite hero." Aizawa joked, he's accompanying the android to the train station because Izuku didn't seem to want to stop telling him all kinds of stories. And because Izuku was not interning, they're a few hours later than those who had to take the train to their agency.

       "𝙽𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎, 𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝙼𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚖𝚢 𝚏𝚊𝚟𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘." Aizawa didn't expect that answer from Izuku. "𝙸𝚏 𝚒𝚝 𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚍, 𝙰𝚒𝚣𝚊𝚠𝚊 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚊 𝚒𝚜 𝚖𝚢 𝚏𝚊𝚟𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚘𝚗." Aizawa hid a smile when Izuku told him that. Maybe, the android only said that to make the Hero feel better.....that didn't matter, because Izuku said he was a favorite of his.

       "Oh, we're cutting through Hosu City." Gran Torino pointed out the window, they spent their day eating taiyaki and doing what they normally did. It was currently nightfall, they won't arrive till probably when the sun fully set.

       "𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚒𝚝 𝚋𝚎 𝚊𝚕𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚍𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚊𝚒𝚢𝚊𝚔𝚒?" Izuku asked, ignoring the beautiful city lights (his lost, really). He stared at the setting Sun, calculating just how long it'd be before the star would disappear to the other side of the planet.

       "It's not just taiyaki! It's the best one out there, which is why it's good!" Gran Torino smiled, he's already hungry from the slightest thought the taiyaki that's only miles away. "Plus, I don't travel around much with people. So, it'll be more fun!" He wasn't a very lonely man....not really, if  his student would come visit him more often, then he wouldn't be lonely. Yeah, it's Toshinori's fault for ignoring this teacher of his, how dare he!

       "𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚠𝚎 𝚋𝚎 𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚙𝚙𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚝 𝙷𝚘𝚜𝚞 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗? 𝙸 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚒𝚗𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖 𝚊 𝚌𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚘𝚗 𝚖𝚢 𝚊𝚛𝚛𝚒𝚟𝚊𝚕." Izuku mostly wanted to check up on a particular classmate of his, not because he's worried, because he doesn't have feelings....or maybe just a small amount, because he, an android, named Izuku, doesn't feel, probably.

       "Sure, sure." Gran Torino waved his hand, grumbling about how kids these days are all about their smartphones.

       "𝙸𝚗𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚐....《𝙸𝚒𝚍𝚊 𝚃𝚎𝚗𝚢𝚊》....𝙷𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚖𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚊𝚐𝚎, 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚍𝚒𝚍𝚗'𝚝 𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚕𝚢..." Izuku was not sulking, not because Iida didn't reply to him, nope, nah. Not possible, because Iida Tenya is probably busy. The two sat in silence for the next few minutes, before the train to an abrupt stop, the wheels screeching against the rails. With the sudden stop, many passengers started to panic. To the opposite side of the train, passengers stood, pointing at a building that suddenly went up in flames. The driver informed the passengers to stay seated on the intercom.

       "Is there a fire?" Gran Torino asked, he had heard someone talking about how a building was up in smokes.

       "𝙳𝚎𝚝𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 (𝟹) 𝚄𝚗𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠𝚗 𝙴𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚎𝚜...." Izuku beeped, his beeping got louder as whatever was headed their way got closer. Suddenly the top of the train exploded, someone or something was peeling away at the metal roof, revealing a pale green monster  with four eyes protruding from its brain. "𝙽𝚘𝚞𝚖𝚞..." It had similar properties as the one he saw during the USJ incident, it didn't have the same statistics, but it's similar. Izuku stood up, everyone had already retreated to the back of the train cart. Before the android could take a step forward, Gran Torino, using his Quirk, kicked the Noumu out and into a (hopefully) empty building, it looked empty, the lights were turned off, and the sign below, indicated it was a business. Good thing, insurance is a thing with all the damages inflicted when fighting villains. "𝙶𝚛𝚊𝚗 𝚃𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚘—"

       "You, stay right here." Gran Torino ordered, pushing Izuku back with a little force to show that he meant it. Gran Torino looked at Izuku once more, before taking a deep breath and following the Noumu, who started climbing out of the building.

Izuku knew he should listen to an order, it's one of the easiest thing to do. Weighing the pros and cons on disobeying the elder....he shouldn't, he knows he shouldn't...but there's a feeling that Iida Tenya could be in trouble, or causing trouble....though highly unlikely, but with the state of mind he's been in lately, he might just cause some trouble that he'd regret later on. So without a second thought, Izuku scanned the area. 𝚂𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙵𝚘𝚛 𝙸𝚒𝚍𝚊 𝚃𝚎𝚗𝚢𝚊.....

Chapter Text

The whole city was in turmoil, many Pro-Heroes are occupied with evacuating citizens to a safer area in the city. A few stayed behind the fight off the Noumus that suddenly appeared. Izuku ignored the warnings of the Pro-Heroes and officers who informed him of the evacuation procedures and continued on his way to where Iida was located, he had long lost connection to the location of the Hero-to-be, now running purely on intuition. By the time he arrived at the scene, Iida had a katana in his shoulder keeping him pinned to the ground by another, who was not a Hero. With it's appearance, Izuku instantly knew that this person, was The Hero Killer. The villain pulled his katana out, grinning at Iida who was under his foot.

       "That's why you'll die." Were the only words he heard, the android didn't bother acknowledging anything the villain was spouting. Raising the katana high and ready to plunge the katana through Iida, Izuku moved forward quickly. Using the narrow alley to jump off the wall, like he had learnt from Gran Torino and threw a swift punch to the left of his face. Nedzu, along with Power Loader had reprogramed his commands, allowing him to defend and protect. The Hero Killer fell backwards as Izuku landed in front of Iida, right where the villain once stood. Having just recovered from the shock of what just happened, Iida looked up at the figure that stood in front of him, still in his school uniform.

       "Iz....Izuku...?" Iida couldn't finish saying the sentence. Maybe he's frustrated with the fact that the vengeance he sought out for didn't go as he had planned, or maybe he felt embarrassed that Izuku, who had just joined their world not long ago, had to see him in such a pitiful state.

       "𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚊𝚒𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝙸𝚒𝚍𝚊." Izuku turned his head slightly, taking only a small glance back. He shouldn't distract himself at the moment, and keep an eye on the Hero Killer. It didn't take long for the other to get back on his feet.

       "Izuku, why are you here?" It didn't sound like Iida was asking Izuku the question, it sounded more as if he was asking the question to himself. "How..?"

       "𝙸𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚜𝚊𝚒𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝟼𝟶% 𝚘𝚏 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘 𝙺𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚛'𝚜 𝚟𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚜 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 𝚒𝚗 𝚕𝚘𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚙𝚎𝚘𝚙𝚕𝚎.

Izuku starred at the villain who made no move, and stood where he had landed "𝙸𝚒𝚍𝚊, 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚘𝚟𝚎? 𝙸𝚏 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚎, 𝚠𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚖𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚘 𝚊 𝚕𝚊𝚛𝚐𝚎𝚛 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚎𝚝, 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚎'𝚕𝚕 𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚒𝚕𝚢 𝚋𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚗."

       "I...can't move..." Iida's voice was hoarse, most possibly from the yelling he had done not so long ago. "Ever since he stabbed me with his sword, it's most likely his Quirk."

       "𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙳𝚊𝚝𝚊𝚋𝚊𝚜𝚎....𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘 𝙺𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚛: 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚒𝚗... 𝚊𝚕𝚜𝚘 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠𝚗 𝚊𝚜 𝙲𝚑𝚒𝚣𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝙰𝚔𝚊𝚐𝚞𝚛𝚘. 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔: 𝚄𝚗𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠𝚗, 𝚖𝚘𝚜𝚝 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚕𝚢𝚣𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗" There was only a limited information known about the Hero Killer, "𝙳𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚞𝚙𝚘𝚗 𝚌𝚞𝚝𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚟𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚖? 𝙸𝚏 𝚜𝚘, 𝙸 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚊𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚍 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚋𝚕𝚊𝚍𝚎." Izuku then turned his attention to the unconscious figure lying on the ground a few feet away, "𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎'𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘...𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚋𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝..." Izuku mumbled to himself, it was a habit he had picked up.

       "Izuku..don't get involved! This has nothing to do with you!"

       "𝙸𝚒𝚍𝚊—"

       "Your friend came to save you." The Hero Killer finally spoke, grabbing the attention of the two, "If we clash, of course, the weaker will be culled." The villain's stare made the air heavy, it filled the whole alley will malicious intent. He wasn't saying those words for fun, he's telling them that Izuku is the weaker one, who will be slaughtered in the end. "Now, what will you do?"

       "𝙸𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚎𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚍...𝙸 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚋𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚖𝚎." The android still hadn't realized what Stain meant, not knowing how the Hero Killer believed that the android would have no chance of victory against himself. "𝙰𝚕𝚎𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝙿𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚕𝚜 𝙰𝚗𝚍 𝙴𝚛𝚊𝚜𝚎𝚛 𝙷𝚎𝚊𝚍....𝙵𝚘𝚛 𝚗𝚘𝚠, 𝙸 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚖𝚢𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞." Izuku stood in a fighting stance.

       "Stop it! Run away! I told you, didn't I? It has nothing to do with you!" Iida yelled out, still struggling against the paralysis he was under.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏𝚒𝚜𝚑 𝚘𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝙸𝚒𝚍𝚊-𝚜𝚊𝚗." Izuku stood straight, turning his attention back to his classmate on the ground, this was the first time in a fairly long time, since he called out to the class president in such a formal way, "𝚃𝚘 𝚜𝚊𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚌𝚎𝚛𝚗 𝚖𝚎, 𝚊𝚖 𝙸 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚏𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚍?

Stain laughed at Izuku's word, thinking this teenager in front of him was being foolish. Without any further words, Izuku charged forward, his left arm bent back, ready to throw a punch. Luckily, with the help of Hatsume, Power Loader, and Principal Nedzu, they were able to somewhat overwrite the command of harming humans. He was only to retailiate if he is in harms way, or when protecting another student/citizen.

       "Good," Stain grinned to himself, swinging his katana forward. Seeing Izuku deciding to shorten the distance between his opponent with a long reach, Stain thought about how this was a smart decision for a foolish kid.

       "Don't! If you get cut--" Iida warned Izuku, when he saw Stain's left hand reach for the daggers tucked at his left side. To be completely honest, they didn't know whether Stain's Quirk would affect the android or not, and frankly, none of them really wanted to try and find out. Izuku took the opportunity to slide under the Hero Killer, successfully dodging the attack. When Stain turned behind him, there was no Izuku in sight. Like he had disappeared into thin air. Was that the kid's Quirk? No. Because there was a presence above him. Izuku had jumped into the air as the villain turned, using his momentum, he delivered a kick right at Stain's head, knocking him down.

       "𝙺𝚊𝚌𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗'𝚜 𝚖𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚎𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎. 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑, 𝚒𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝙸'𝚟𝚎 𝚐𝚘𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚗 𝚌𝚞𝚝." Izuku's hand reached to the side of his arm, where the dagger had slightly grazed him. Stain smiled sinisterly as he brought the dagger towards his mouth, before stopping abruptly.

       "There's no--" The Hero Killer was taken aback, he couldn't use his Quirk on the kid. Iida was puzzled, how was Izuku not paralyzed like him?

       "𝙸 𝚜𝚎𝚎." Izuku came to a conclusion, hitting his fist onto his left palm, likely saying 'aha.'  "𝚂𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚎, 𝚑𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍𝚜 𝚊 𝚜𝚊𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚟𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚜' 𝚋𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚍. 𝚂𝚎𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚜 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚛𝚘𝚒𝚍, 𝙸 𝚍𝚘 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚋𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚙𝚞𝚖𝚙𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚖𝚢 𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚎, 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚞𝚗𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚘𝚏 𝚑𝚒𝚜." Stain threw a dagger at Izuku, who jumped back to dodge. He then realized his mistake, Stain had deliberately lured Izuku farther into the alley, away from Iida. The Hero Killer threw another one of his daggers at the android, unable to dodge. The dagger struck at Izuku's shoulder, the force of the throw pushed him against the wall of the back alley, pinning him there.

       "People who are all talk are a dime a dozen, but you are worth letting alive." Stain walked towards Iida slowly, not needing to worry about Izuku's oncoming attacks. There were very few, meaning none, other than All Might, that Stain ever acknowledged and deemed worthy of the title of a Hero. "You're different from these guys." Stain could've meant physically, as Izuku wasn't human, like the rest of the society.

       "𝚆𝚊𝚒𝚝..." Izuku called out, pulling the dagger out of his shoulder. Throwing the dagger aside, using the same movements from before, jumping off the walls to quickly get closer to Iida. Not caring if the wires in his shoulder were sparking, because he needs to be faster. Faster to save Iida, but he wasn't fast enough. Stain once again gripped the handle of his katana in both hands, ready to plunge it straight through Iida's skull. "𝙸𝚒𝚍𝚊." Even though Izuku wasn't close enough to Iida, he still reached his hand out, hoping for some miracle to happen. And a miracle did happen. A giant glacier came rushing towards Stain, making the older villain dodge. Izuku who stumbled onto the ground, got up once more and made his way towards Iida. He didn't need to look to know who the glacier belonged to, it was Todoroki Shouto.

       "One after another...There are a lot of people getting in my way today." Stain complained, landing farther away as he dodged the glacier.

       "Izuku. You need to give more details in times like this." Todoroki was talking about how Izuku had only sent his location to Class 1-A's group chat. "You made me late."

       "T-Todoroki, you too?" Iida was baffled to see the dual-haired teen, especially in Hosu City. Because Todoroki decided to join Endeavor's agency, and Endeavor's Agency is nowhere near Hosu City to arrive in such short notice.

       "𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘, 𝚃𝚘𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚘𝚔𝚒. 𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎?" It wasn't that the other teen was not welcomed, when he sent his location into the group chat, he was hoping for more of a Pro-Hero. More likely to be Aizawa, or Present Mic, or perhaps All Might even. Though, it was still helpful for the teen to come. They were hours away from UA, who knows how long it would take for them to arrive. "𝙰𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚏𝚎𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚍?" Izuku asked after seeing Todoroki breathing out misty clouds, one you would see when you breathing during a cold winter morning.

       "Why? Shouldn't that be my line? It took me a few seconds to figure out what you meant, since you only sent your location info." Todoroki still stood at the entrance of the alley, it was amazing how Todoroki was able to deduce that Izuku was in any sort of danger, Stain jumped again when the concrete floor began to ice over from where Todoroki was standing.

       "𝚃𝚘𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚘𝚔𝚒, 𝙸 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚒𝚗𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚌𝚎𝚎𝚍. 𝙷𝚒𝚜 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠𝚜 𝚑𝚒𝚖 𝚝𝚘 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚕𝚢𝚣𝚎 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚊𝚛𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚞𝚙𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊 𝚜𝚊𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚒𝚛 𝚋𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚍." Izuku stood back to back facing Stain, "𝙸 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚋𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚎𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚞𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚋𝚕𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚜."

       "Then I'll just keep my distan--" Todoroki was cut off by Izuku shoving him roughly to the side as a throwing knife flew at his head. "Shoot!" Even with Izuku pushing him, the side of his cheek was still cut by the knife.

       "You have good friends, Ingenium!" It wasn't a compliment, he was taunting Iida. While he laid on the ground unable to move his limbs, his friends were risking their lives right now. The Hero Killer swung a dagger at Todoroki, who was able to block it by creating a giant spike of Ice. With the dent made into the ice, it showed just how strong Stain was without even using his Quirk. Todoroki kept creating ice to block Stain's path, only for them to be destroyed by a slice of the katana.

       "Why are you two...why...please, stop! I'm the one who inherited my brother's name. I have to do it.." Iida wanted to clench his fist, but he was still paralyzed. "That guy's mine...!"

       "You inherited it? That's strange." Todoroki slammed his palm onto the ground and chunks of ice blocked the whole alley, "The Ingenium I saw before never had that look on his face. You've got a lot going on behind the scenes in your family, too, huh?" Izuku had gone over the check the situation with the other Hero, making sure they were alive, before going over to Iida to assess his injuries. With a few slices from his blade, the chunks of ice became smaller chunks.

       "To block your own view against an opponent faster than you is such a foolish plan." Stain was suspended mid-air

       "I wonder about tha--" Todoroki raised his arm once more to create more ice, but winced in pain when throwing knifes lodged themselves into his arm.

       "You're pretty good, too." Stain held the hilt of his katana once more, ready to strike down at Todoroki. It looked like he was going for Todoroki, but his actual target was the original Hero that he had caught from the start. Todoroki, who was closest to the Hero at the moment, grabbed the Pro by the wrist and swung them to the side. Remind himself to give an apology after they've gotten out of this situation. However, it was too late for Todoroki himself to dodge away from the oncoming attack, soon there was a blur of a shadow in front of him. Izuku had jumped up before Stain could land his attack on the other boy, the katana the Hero Killer held pierced through Izuku's chest, right where the heart of a human would be. With Izuku's weight, the villain fell backwards, landing on his own two feet, his hand still had Izuku with the katana through him.

       "Izuku--!" Both Iida and Todoroki's eyes widened, and suddenly flames emitted throughout the alley. Stain threw his katana to the wall, essentially throwing Izuku along with the sword.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎'𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚢 𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝, 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚘𝚟𝚎." Izuku called out, before standing up.

       "We should hurry up and carry those two out of here, but his reaction's are so fast. He avoided my ice and the fire just now." Todoroki held his injured arm, he had long pulled the daggers out of his arm. "I think our best option is to hold on by avoiding close combat until the Pros arrive."

       "𝚃𝚘𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚘𝚔𝚒, 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚟𝚎 𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚝 𝚝𝚘𝚘 𝚖𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚋𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚍. 𝚂𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔 𝚍𝚘 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚊𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚖𝚎, 𝙸 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚝 𝚑𝚒𝚖. 𝙸 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚊𝚜𝚔 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚜𝚞𝚙𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚋𝚎𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚍." Izuku ripped the sleeves of his jacket, using one to cover the wound and used the other as a make-shift tourniquet to slow down the blood flow from his arm.

       "That's a pretty big risk....but it's the best choice we've got.." Todoroki reluctantly agreed. "The two of us will protect them." Truth be told, Todoroki has been worried about Iida ever since his older brother had been attacked, because he knew very well the face of someone who would act on pent-up resentment, like he once did. Everything had been simple, but because of resentment clouded their judgement, none of them realized how simple it was. The android shot forward, jumping from wall to wall once more, while Todoroki supported him with his ice and flames from behind. He finally realized what Izuku had meant that day, when the class had shown their Quirks. To never let go of what's important to him, just those few simple words, had changed Todoroki's view on the world. It was also what had encouraged him to seek out for his mother once more, and never had he regret seeing her again.

       "Please stop..." Iida didn't want to see his classmates continue to fight for him any longer, but he couldn't bring himself to close his eyes or look away. He desperately held back his own tears, "I'm--" Todoroki clenched his jaw.

       "If you want us to stop, then stand up!" The heterochromatic teenager couldn't bear to watch his own class president drown himself in self-pity any more, because it doesn't solve anything. "Look properly at what you want to be!" Stain had gotten past Izuku and aimed at Todoroki, the teen used his flames once more. The heat made the Hero Killer back off for a moment. When he had heard those words from Todoroki, it was like a flood had let lose, and Iida couldn't stop the tears from falling out of his eyes. The whole time, he had yelled about how he would never forgive Stain for what he did to his brother, and yet he did nothing to fix the root of his problem, only setting out for revenge. Iida struggled to clench his fist from frustration. What kind of Hero am I? Iida asked himself, needing to be protected by his friends, having them bleed for the sake of protecting him. From the incident regarding his brother, Iida only saw what was in front of him, never seeing anything else except himself.

       "𝚃𝚘𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚘𝚔𝚒, 𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎 𝚋𝚞𝚢 𝚖𝚎 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎." Izuku ran towards towards the back wall of the alley. Stain ignored Izuku and dodged the incoming fire, using an extra katana he had, intending to cut off Todoroki's arm before Iida got up and kicked the sword with enough force to snap it in half. Using his engines, Iida did a backflip and landed another kick at Stain, who backed away. "𝙸𝚒𝚍𝚊-𝚜𝚊𝚗, 𝚒𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚎." Izuku was stating the obvious.

       "Todoroki, Izuku, this had nothing to do with you two, and I apologize for dragging you into this." Iida had bowed to them, in the middle of battle.

       "𝙸𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚗'𝚝 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚍, 𝚜𝚊𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗."

       "I can't allow you two to hurt yourselves any more than this. He was right before, I have no right to call myself a hero. Even so, I cannot give in to his words." Iida clenched his fist, a trail of blood rolled down his arm. He knew that the moment he gave in, then the legacy of Ingenium will die. Seeing Stain charge forward at Iida's words, Todoroki pushed Iida back and threw a wave of flames at the villain.

       "You idiots!" The unconscious Hero woke up, hearing most of the conversation, "The Hero Killer is after me, right? Don't fight back. It'd be better if you ran away!"

       "If we ran away, who would save you?" Todoroki wanted to call this Hero an idiot for even suggesting to leave him behind. Iida tried to use his engines once more, but only a few pumps of air left the exhaust pipes, making him wonder if he broke his radiator when he kicked the Hero Killer earlier.

       "There's-- Todoroki, can you regulate temperature?! Freeze my legs without plugging up the exhausts!" He had no time to explain, the sooner they immobilize, the better for them to leave the rest to the Pros. Izuku was still at the back alley, he's been calculating the best method to knock into Stain to render him unconscious, without injuring anyone. Kicking off from the back of the wall seemed like a good plan, but with his height, he wouldn't be able to get enough force to reach Stain. Deciding to use the chunks of ice scattered around the alley, the android used the wall the propel himself forward towards the chunk of ice, using it to jump higher at a greater speed. Both Iida and Izuku landed their kicks onto the Hero Killer, before he could do any further damage, he was finally knocked unconscious.

       "𝙶𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚓𝚘𝚋, 𝙸𝚒𝚍𝚊 𝚃𝚎𝚗𝚢𝚊. 𝙸 𝚐𝚞𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚋𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚋𝚎 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚍. 𝙿𝚊𝚝. 𝙿𝚊𝚝." Izuku smiled seeing the unconscious villain on the ground, he gave two light pats on the taller teenager, like one would give to their younger sibling or kids praising them.

       "Let's restrain him and get out to the street." Todoroki informed the two, "Confiscate his weapons first." Iida nodded silently, checking Stain's body for any dangerous weapons that he still had.

       "𝙿𝚛𝚘 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘: 𝙽𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎, 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚘𝚟𝚎?" Izuku held out a hand to the Hero.

       "Yes, I'm fine now. Thank you, you three are strong for being teenagers, imagine how strong you'll be in a few years." Native grabbed Izuku's hand and got up, "Let's get this sword out of you." Without thinking, Native grabbed the handle and pulled.

       "𝚆𝚊𝚒𝚝, 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍𝚗'𝚝--" Native had already pulled out the katana. Along with the sword, it had dragged out a strange object from Izuku that they had never seen before, but it resembled strangely like a human heart. The three were horrified, "𝙸'𝚖 𝚊𝚕𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑-" Without finishing his sentence, Izuku slumped against Native.

       "Izuku!" Iida's shout echoed throughout the alley, "Quick! Let's get onto the road and find him an ambulance!" Todoroki worked out pulling the tied up Hero Killer, Native held the android on his back, Iida held Stain's weapons, along with the strange object. They made no haste and ran out of the alley. Just as Gran Torino arrived.

       "Wh-- Why is he here?" Gran Torino asked upon seeing Izuku being carried on Native's back, behind him was Eraserhead who had ran over as fast as he could when Izuku had sent his location.

The three students were quickly rushed to the nearest ER when the ambulance arrived, Todoroki had only suffered minor injuries, Iida had more severe injuries that were being tended to by another doctor, and the rest were rushing Izuku into the surgery room by a few nurses. 

       "What's the situation?" A doctor had joined them, helping to push the stretcher that Izuku laid on.

       "From what we know, this kid was stabbed with a sword. They pulled something strange out of his chest." One of the nurse replied, looking at the hole at the left side of Izuku's chest, there were some wires sticking out.

       "There's no pulse!" Another nurse pipped in, her hand held Izuku's wrist, she had been trying to check for Izuku's pulse and she still hadn't felt any. Aizawa tried to follow the stretcher past the two doors but was stopped by the nurse telling him he couldn't go any further. Aizawa had briefly heard something about Power Loader and Recovery Girl's on their way over. He couldn't calm himself down, his breathing was ragged, and he couldn't focus on anything else, because Izuku is dying right now. Izuku could be dead for who knows how long, and there's nothing he could do at the moment but wait. It wasn't long before Recovery Girl and Power Loader had actually arrived to the hospital and let into the room. Everything was in their hand for now, Izuku's in good hands. Aizawa reminded himself.

Chapter Text

       "How is he?" Aizawa asked Power Loader and Recovery Girl who both stood by the hospital bed, "What was the thing Iida brought with him? He said it came from Izuku, is he in danger? Is he alive right now?" So many questions were rushing through his head, he had been waiting for hours until Izuku was transferred into a different hospital room. Since none of the doctors knew what exactly was going on with Izuku, they moved the android into one of their intensive care rooms so they could monitor him.

       "He might be around 3 months old, but the object that came from his body is centuries years old. Possibly before Quirks even existed." Power Loader looked over at Izuku, the metal they had used for the hole in his chest was much different from the materials the android was made of, so there was a slight difference in color and feel to it. Not to mention the slight outline of the hole, making it look like a scar.

       "I've pulled out some archives. The object is called an 'Artificial Heart.' It replaces the heart, in circumstances where heart transplants are impossible. This artificial heart seems to be special, not only that, this looks to be homemade. We just need him to wake up on his own." Aizawa sighed in relief, slumping against the wall. Unlike patients, Izuku was not connected to cardiac monitors, being an Android, the electronic waves might just interfere with the equipment nearby. And they don't know much about Izuku in general, so the best and only option is for him to wake up on his own. The door slid open, revealing two students. Todoroki Shouto and Iida Tenya.

       "Good morning, Aizawa-sensei." Iida bowed, the sun was already rising. It's surprising how the fight with Stain was merely less than 12 hours ago. "I believe I owe you an apology." Iida was still bent over, "I acted on my emotions, and I dragged in two of my classmates. They had nothing to do with this matter, and I'm ready to take full responsibility for the consequences." Todoroki stood by his side quietly.

       "𝙸 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚗'𝚝 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚍, 𝙸𝚒𝚍𝚊-𝚜𝚊𝚗." Izuku's voice was quiet, but it sounded as if it echoed throughout the room. "𝙸 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎 𝙸'𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚏𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚜 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚘𝚕𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚕𝚎𝚖 𝚝𝚘𝚐𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛.

Izuku sat staring up at the ceiling before looking over at Iida, who stared at him wide-eyed. Aizawa was once again the first one to move and check for any injuries on the android.

       "Does anywhere hurt? Are you feeling any pain? Anything broken?" Aizawa checked all around Izuku's limbs for any scratches that they may have missed during the operation.

       "𝙸 𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝟷𝟶𝟶% 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝. 𝙰𝚒𝚣𝚊𝚠𝚊-𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒." The door slid open once again, this time revealing a detective wearing a tan overcoat and matching hat.

       "I see you're alive and well, Izuku." The detective smiled, he was one of All Might's most trusted friends and have been informed on the situation with Izuku. "Shouldn't you kids go back and rest? Those injuries won't heal with you walking on and about." Power Loader and Recovery Girl understood that the detective wanted to talk to the android and other Pro-Hero alone, they ushered the two back to their rooms.

       "Detective Tsukauchi, what brings you here?" Aizawa got out an extra folding chair for the Detective.

       "I've got the information on this Professor Hisashi you wanted." Detective Tsukauchi held up a thick manila file, it's probably been more than decades old from how the manila file looked. "He's got quite the record, good and bad."

       "His whereabouts?"

       "For all we know, he's most likely dead. It's been centuries."

       "𝙷𝚒𝚜 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐." Izuku piped in, "𝙷𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚍, 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚞𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎𝚊𝚝." he pointed to his own chest.

       "How can a dead person's heart still continue to beat?" Tsukauchi asked, it was physically impossible for that to happen, unless there was something pumping oxygen into the heart, which is highly unlikely.

       "𝙸𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝙰𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚏𝚒𝚌𝚒𝚊𝚕 𝙷𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝," Izuku once again pointed to his own chest, this time to the right, where his heart was, "𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚐𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚏𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚘𝚛 𝙷𝚒𝚜𝚊𝚜𝚑𝚒." Then it dawned on the two adults, whoever this 'Professor Hisashi' was, he had given Izuku his own heart.

Soon enough, everything that had happened was swept under the rug. As if they never happened in the first place, the Pro-Heroes that were on scene that day were told to keep quiet about who was really responsible for the capture of Stain. Technically, the students have committed vigilantism, but with Endeavor receiving the credit and never uttering a word of that night....everything would be okay, is was the Hero Commission has decided. Them and the Chief of the Police Force. Iida had no problem accepting that fact, even asking for them to administer some punishment. Todoroki seemed unhappy with the outcome, but overall, after hearing that Endeavor was also unhappy with it, he became happy once again. Because if there's a chance that Endeavor is unhappy, then Todoroki Shouto will sure as hell be ecstatic about it! Izuku never minded the end result, he neither gained nor lost anything. The three students each got a slap on the wrist and a promise not to do such until they receive their Hero License......kind of, Aizawa spent two hours nagging-- He called it lecturing-- on the safety....Honestly, they weren't listening. If Aizawa had repeated the same words over and over again, you'd eventually get sick of it too. As of right now, the class were told to gather in one of UA's meeting rooms.

       "Are we in trouble?" Uraraka Ochako asks, trying to recall any situation where someone in their class had broken a rule.

       "If anything, it's those three dumbasses fault." Bakugou pointed at the trio, Sero Hanta, Denki Kaminari, Ashido Mina, the three who caused the most accidents in the month they had started the internships.

       "Hey! Don't accuse us!" Sero held his chest, acting as if he was stabbed.

       "𝙺𝚊𝚌𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗, 𝙸 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚏𝚊𝚕𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝚊𝚌𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚢𝚘𝚗𝚎. 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚖𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚋𝚎 𝚒𝚗𝚗𝚘𝚌𝚎𝚗𝚝." Kaminari latched an arm around Izuku, hugging him on the side, as a say of 'Thank you' for believing in them, even though they weren't offended by Bakugou's words. They've already gotten used to his shit personality, so anything he ever screams like a gremlin had no effect on the class.

       "shut the fuck up deku, and stop calling me Kacchan!"

       "𝙸 𝚛𝚎𝚏𝚞𝚜𝚎." Izuku replied without a heartbeat.

       "Hah?"

       "𝙸 𝚜𝚊𝚒𝚍, 𝙸 𝚛𝚎𝚏𝚞𝚜𝚎. 𝙸 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔 𝙺𝚊𝚌𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚋𝚎 𝚊 𝚏𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚗𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎, 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖 𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚊𝚐𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚟𝚎. 𝙺𝚊𝚌𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚌𝚞𝚝𝚎 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎, 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔? 𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗 '𝙳𝚎𝚔𝚞' 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚑 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚗𝚘 𝚖𝚎𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐."

       "Fuck you, Deku." Bakugou stuck up both middle fingers at Izuku.

       "𝙸 𝚜𝚎𝚎..."

       "You're not blind, of course you can see." Bakugou scoffed.

       "𝙺𝚊𝚌𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗'𝚜 𝚟𝚘𝚌𝚊𝚋𝚞𝚕𝚊𝚛𝚢 𝚒𝚜 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚕𝚒𝚖𝚒𝚝𝚎𝚍." Izuku concluded. " 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝙸'𝚕𝚕 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚋𝚢 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙸 𝚜𝚊𝚒𝚍. 𝚂𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚎, 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚕𝚢 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚑𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚊𝚢 𝚒𝚜 '𝙵𝚞𝚌𝚔'."

       "Bakugou, look what you did! He just cursed!" Ashido Mina, lightly punched Bakugou who dodged out of the way.

       "It's not my fucking fault!" Soon the conversation turned into small bickers while they waited for the rest of the staffs to gather.

All Might clapped his hands, trying to get the attention of those who continued to talk while the teacher had finished their task and sat down in their seats.

       "Hello, everyone! Please, quiet!" Nedzu currently sat on Aizawa's shoulder, waving his hand- paw around. "The Hero Commission has come to UA today." Aizawa turned his head towards Nedzu, because he was not told about this. After giving a look to Nedzu, he turned to Izuku, because Izuku really shouldn't be here when the commission's on their way. The Hero was just about to get up and escort Izuku out of the room before the door swung open, revealing three workers from The Hero Commission.

       "Please, all to your seats." One of them looked at Aizawa, who was still frozen in place. The three of them looked really familiar, like those background characters you'd never pay attention to.

       "We've heard about the particular Android you found. Very smart, and takes his order easily. We, at the Commission, have decided that we'll be confiscating it. With the right programming, we can make the Android the ultimate weapon- Hero, against all the villains around—"

       "I think that's enough. We'll be refusing that offer." Yamada interrupted, no longer able to bear how they talked as if Izuku was some object.

       "I believe, this is not up to debate. Why are you deciding to refuse?"

       "You may be the Hero Commission, but only we, at UA, have custody over Izuku." Nedzu replies, "Now, please—"

       "You named the piece of metal? Either way, no negotiations. Hand him over." One of the workers held a hand out.

       "You think we'd sit still and let you fucking take him, you piece of shit?" Bakugou slammed the table, the class had kept out of the conversation for the most part.

       "We'd like the Android, peacefully. I believe nobody here would like us to be forceful." Another worker took a step forward, and in turn, the class stood in front of Izuku, creating a barrier around the green-haired male.

       "I'd like to see you try." Kirishima bumped his fists together, hardening his skin.

       "Enough. We will never be handing Izuku over, and neither will you put your hands on MY students." Aizawa had gotten up and stood between his kids and the three Commission workers.

       "Just think about how much stronger we'd be with such a valuable asset?"

       "Izuku is not a weapon." Recovery Girl cut in, she also had been sitting on the side-lines, "Now, think about what the world would feel seeing the Hero Commission attacking poor innocent students from this school?"

       "Thank you for your stay!" Midnight joked, waving her fingers. The three men from The Commission said their goodbye before retreating back to the Safety Commission Agency. After they had left, the R-rated Hero turned back towards the students, "Now, I believe it's lunch time for you darlings. Go on now, shoo!"

After the last of the students had left to the dining hall, Kayama Nemuri resumed her serious face, no longer smiling.

       "You think they're gone?" Kayama, aka. Midnight, was never one to talk formally to her colleagues, but right now, she spoke somewhat formally.

       "It's possible, but it's the Commission..." They all knew full well just what type of people, those at the Hero Public Safety Commission are. They claim to be all pure and innocent, but they're the devil right down to the core. Using others to do the dirty work, while they look like it's the dream place to work at.

       "No doubt, they'd play dirty."

       "From now on, no one is allowed to be alone. Have students travel in groups in crowded areas if possible. We shouldn't leave Izuku unattended either." Nedzu concluded, perhaps they should add more security. They had increased the security since the villains infiltrating UA back near the start of the year, but if they were to go against The Hero Commission of all places, then they'd have to act more careful than ever. After going over the precautions, and how they'd move forward. The meeting was officially adjourned, and they all left to eat their own lunches before continuing on with class.

Chapter Text

All students were advised to travel in groups, even across the grounds of UA. Whether you're from the General Department or a Hero Course student, there's a strict rule of traveling in groups. Not pairs. Groups, and with the heavy punishment of possible suspension and expulsion, nobody dared to go against this rule.

       "Remind me again why I'm here?" Shinsou was dragged away from his own group into Ashido's, consisting of Tenya Iida, Hagakure Tooru, Shinsou Hitoshi, and herself. It was no doubt an odd looking group, since they rarely spoke to each other, with the exception of Hagakure going to Ashido's exclusive sleep overs, and knowing all the gossips going on around the dorm.

       "Because, Hagakure found out that Tokoyami was... then Izuku said.... but Aoyama with his French accent was all..." If anyone's honest, the explanation is a bit... complicated. Despite that, Ashido tried her hardest to explain, motioning her hands around while she talked, "And Mineta started talking, and it was disgusting. But Sero shut him up with the tape. And then Jirou decided we should hang him... wait, what was I talking about again?" Sometimes, it'd take a while to get Ashido to talk about one topic and explain everything. "Oh right! So, Bakugou started criticizing Aoyama's accent, which then caused this whole argument, which Iida had to fix.... And Yaomomo was all....then Izuku told us.... and I was all like 'we have to do this!' and Iida's here to chaperone us."

       "But, why did I get dragged into this?" Shinsou sighed, he didn't talk to any of those classmates she had mentioned. Maybe one or two of them he'd occasionally consult with at 4 in the morning after a night full of caffeine, and a certain blonde with gifting cheese at everyone's balcony (but that's a secret from everyone).

       "Because, Jirou was busy with Shouji, Satou, Yaomomo, and Bakugou, who decided to tag along with them. Aoyama needed (more like wanted) to find Izuku some more clothes that say 'shirt' and Tokoyami, Kirishima, and Uraraka's tagging along. And everyone else is busy."

       "I believe what we're doing is reckless. We should head back, and maybe rethink about our next decisions?" Iida chopped through the air, he's always been the rational one... more rational than his attempted murder that no one shall speak of. Still, what he said was correct. Although, UA hasn't restricted their freedom to roam around campus and outside of the school, they should still proceed with caution. The small bicker came to a stop when a hooded figure blocked their path, Iida stepped to the right, the hooded figure stepped towards their own left, Iida stepped towards the left, and the hooded figure stepped towards the right, blocking Iida's path. "Sir, if you'd kindly just move towards the side, please."

       "You guys really don't seem like bad kids," The hooded figure sighed, it sounds like they has some sort of voice changing device, "A job's a job though." After the hooded figure finished his sentence, he moved swiftly behind Hagakure, giving her a quick kick forward.

       "He—" Shinsou was cut off from using his word when the hooded figure chopped at his throat, with an amount of force that caused him to fly backwards. Realizing, this wasn't some joke, and they were really being targeted, both Ashido and Iida both got into a fighting stance. Ready to back each other when needed. Their priority was to get to safety, not engage to fight. Both students devised a plan for Ashido to create an opening for Iida to quickly bring the other two students to safety, since he was the faster one out of the two. Though it was a silent plan, the two knew each other well enough to know what the other was thinking. Iida was not fond with the idea of leaving her behind, but Ashido reassured she'd be able to hold whoever this hooded figure was back. She'd been planning to test her new Ultimate move, so it was kind of an win-win situation.... kind of....

       "Hm? Izuku? What're you looking at?" Yaoyorozu's currently serving tea to the android, she found it quite pleasant to talk with Izuku. And it was currently that time of the week where she shares her freshly brewed tea with anyone who wanted a cup.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚔𝚢..." He isn't wrong, he's currently staring out the window at the sky, but there's this feeling of uneasiness boiling inside of him.. metaphorically, "𝚒𝚝 𝚍𝚘𝚎𝚜𝚗'𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚊 𝚐𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚍𝚊𝚢..."

       "How so? Isn't our day going well?"

       "𝙸 𝚜𝚞𝚙𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚎, 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝙸 𝚏𝚎𝚎𝚕 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚊𝚗𝚡𝚒𝚘𝚞𝚜.. 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚗 𝚒𝚝." Izuku took a sip from the tea he was handed, "𝚊𝚑. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚔𝚢 𝚒𝚜 𝚌𝚛𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐.. 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚕𝚘𝚞𝚍𝚜 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚛𝚘𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐.." Izuku pointed up at the sky, the once bright blue sky turned a gloomy shade, and it had started to rain with a bit of thunder.

       "It's called rain," Yaoyorozu couldn't help but laugh at how cute Izuku was, though she couldn't deny the unsettling feeling she felt.

       "𝚈𝚊𝚘𝚢𝚘𝚛𝚘𝚣𝚞-𝚜𝚊𝚗, 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚏𝚊𝚌𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘𝚘... 𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚍𝚘𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚍𝚎𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎𝚍, 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚜 𝚜𝚊𝚍?" Izuku pointed at Yaoyorozu, then pointed to his own face.

       "Huh?" Yaoyorozu reached to touch her cheek, and it was indeed wet. Peculiar... there was no reason for her to suddenly cry, is there?

It's been two days since UA has been closed down due to unforeseen circumstances, that was what was said to the public though. Telling the world that four students from the Hero course are hospitalized doesn't seem like the best idea. There are already rumors going around about how it was a villain attack, despite it being almost impossible to even trespass onto UA grounds. The staffs have been going nonstop at trying to stop any students from causing anymore ruckus with meaningless rumors. Not wanting to take any further risks, Nedzu has created a rule that students were only allowed to leave their dorms if they needed to see Recovery Girl for emergencies, and would also have to be accompanied by one of the teachers too, disobedience would lead to expulsion.

       "Did you hear? It was horrible!"

       "Who'd target Class 1-A after everything they've been through? And beating them to that extent!"

Aizawa glared at the students who continued to gossip as he escorted his class to the hospital down the street. How had the class convinced him to allow them to go off campus to see their hospitalized classmates? Who knows, but one thing for sure, he'd make sure his students will be safe and healthy. Because while they're under the roof of UA High School, they're his children, his kids to care for. And he'd even go against the whole commission to protect his students. Maybe even commit a few crimes... it's a joke, he wouldn't... probably.... Yeah... he wouldn't.

       "𝙰𝚒𝚣𝚊𝚠𝚊-𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒..." Izuku pulled on the teacher's scarf, despite having these so-called programmed feelings, he still felt guilty. This was somehow his fault, he knows this. And maybe the others knew this as well, except they decided not to comment on it. Aizawa made no move to say anything, only giving Izuku a few pats on the head.

Out of the four hospitalized students, Hagakure was the only student that had ended up in the ER, she was still unconscious and unable to receive any visitors at the moment. The other three students were roomed together, which was slightly convenient. Many brought get-well cards, gifts, and even some games to keep the three occupied. Aizawa stood outside with a Doctor reporting to him about each student's condition, some students stood near the door, acting as if they wanted to leave as soon as possible. Not wanting to show their concern over the rest. Some students tried to cheer the others up, talked about some stories, anything to distract them from the current situation.

       "Hey there, bud.. How're you feeling?" Kaminari didn't know whether to approach Shinsou or not. His vocal box was pretty messed up, that he would neither be able to talk nor use his quirk if he doesn't get the right treatment. And for some unknown reason, the hospital just wouldn't treat him. Iida and Ashido were in the same predicament, the engine's in Iida legs would cause him problems in the future that would prevent him from being a Pro-Hero, along with Ashido, who at the moment, cannot produce any acid from her hands. Hagakure, who was currently in a separate room... nobody really knew how bad her condition was at the moment. Each of them broke off and went to their small little groups and had their own little conversation. Izuku couldn't see a place for him to fit in, only able to watch from the sidelines, just watching as the world around him moved, while he stood there silently.

       "𝙸... " Izuku finally started talking, and everyone faced his way, "𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝙸'𝚟𝚎 𝚍𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚍... 𝙿𝚎𝚛𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚜 𝙸 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚓𝚘𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚊𝚏𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚊𝚕𝚕." There were looks of protest, but he continued before any of them could utter another word, "𝙸𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚜𝚏𝚒𝚎𝚍 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝙵𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚔𝚕𝚢, 𝙸 𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎𝚍 𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚑 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚖𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚎𝚗 𝚋𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑. 𝙱𝚞𝚝, 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚜 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚙𝚊𝚒𝚗... 𝙸 𝚏𝚎𝚎𝚕 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝." Many shook their head in disbelief, Izuku couldn't just submit and allow himself to become a weapon, because he's human too.

       "Good, it seems I don't have to convince you anymore," A new and unfamiliar voice spoke out, "Hello there, just here to pick up the Android." The female in black waved her gloved hand, "Let's go, shall we?"

       "No, you can't!" Iida was the first to speak out, struggling to stand up. "You can't just use Izuku like this!"

       "Iida, sit back down." Aizawa placed a hand on his shoulder, when had he come in? Who knows, but most are more curious as to why he isn't stopping Izuku either. "Standing is the last thing you should do right now." Iida was about to protest, until he saw the look in his teacher's eyes.

       "Izuku, you can't give yourself up like this..." Ashido teared up, this wasn't how she wanted to see Izuku, not being taken away to be used as a weapon. This could really be the last time they would see the Android.

       "𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚊𝚕𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝, 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚊𝚕𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚢 𝚍𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚏𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚒𝚛 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚗. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚏𝚘𝚌𝚞𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚕𝚢 𝚘𝚗 𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐." Izuku didn't, and would never forget Hagakure, even if she wasn't there with them at the moment, "𝙸𝚏 𝙸 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚏𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖, 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚙 𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚛𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚣𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚕. 𝙸𝚜𝚗'𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚕 '𝚠𝚒𝚗-𝚠𝚒𝚗 𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗'?" Without any other protests, Izuku turned away from the group.

       "I..ts....n..ot...a..nd... wha... bou...t...yo..u...?" Shinsou's voice was rough, and it sounded scratchy, he really shouldn't be talking. "..h..ow... is... th...s... fa..ir... f..or... y..ou..?" Shinsou tried desperately to voice his thoughts, because Izuku needs to get it through that thick metal skull.

       "𝙸 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎 𝚒𝚝'𝚜 𝚏𝚊𝚒𝚛 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚢 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚏𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚎𝚜." Izuku smiled, and it really is the worst smile ever. Because, whenever he chose to smile like that, it was like he was silently telling them, 'it's okay, I deserved this.' He didn't, because the only thing he's been trying to do, was live alongside them, trying to be human too, trying to feel human. With a tiny wave, Izuku followed the woman dressed in black out of the room. Aizawa stopped every student who tried to go after them.

       "Everyone, gather around. I'll do a headcount, and we'll head back to the dorms for the day." Aizawa informed, treating them as if they were kindergarteners who were on their first field trip. Knowing well enough that the Commission would no longer be a threat to UA, he sent the students on their way back on campus, with a few security guards who'd meet the students half way. After seeing the students off, Aizawa turned back towards the three students who sat on the hospital bed. All of them facing the other way, not wanting to see their teacher at the moment, because it hurt too much, looking at the teacher who allowed one of his students go, even when it wasn't fully his fault. "Everyone has the right to be upset, I know. But, this is the last choice we could give Izuku..as a human." Aizawa looked back towards his students once more, before closing the hospital door.

Miraculously, Shinsou was able to get the surgery he needed to fix his voice box. Ashido and Iida were able to get the necessary treatments to heal their hands and legs. And gradually, the school opened once more for the new semester. If there was an extra empty desk at the back of the room, nobody spoke of it. If one of them found a loose button on the floor, none of them said a word. The once lively class that filled with laughter, has become lifeless and silent.

Chapter Text

The female in black escorted Izuku on their way out of the hospital, despite her serious composure just a second ago, she was now happily skipping down the halls. The doctors and nurses paid no mind to the two as they walked out the front doors.

       "Hm, you know, you don't look all that special..." She then looked Izuku up and down, "And you don't look to have any powerful quirk..." She continued forward, waltzing as if she were in a grand ball.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝙸 𝚍𝚘 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚊 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔."

       "Then—"

       "Please do not interact with the android." A man, also dressed in black, interrupted. "Our mission is to retrieve the android, not make friends."

       "Yes, yes. Let's not dilly-dally for too long."

It's been a week since Izuku had decided that he would willingly turn himself to the Hero Commission, a choice that Aizawa allowed him to make. Class 1-A's quieter than usual, there's no quarrelling between classmates, those who were physically in class... their minds wandered around, thinking about Izuku. A few students had opt to skip class, and while Aizawa would usually expel them on the spot... they're all going through a hard time, so he'd tolerate it... to an extent. It's been a week, if they're serious about becoming a Hero, then it's time for them to stop wallowing in sadness. Which is why Aizawa (on Present Mic's advice) decided to have an one-on-one talk with those who have been skipping out, it would be easier if he were allowed to expel them all in one swoop. But Nedzu had already forbid him from pulling a stunt like expelling a whole class (like the previous year).

Shinsou Hitoshi currently sat (very much like Bakugou) in front of Aizawa. His dark eye bags can barely be seen, probably because he spent his day sleeping instead of attending class and doing anything else, other than eat and use the bathroom. For the past week. Usually, Aizawa wouldn't care about the scowl on his student's face, but really, he's trying not to—

       "How can you call yourself a hero?" Shinsou was the first to talk, slamming his hands on the table, "You let them take and use Izuku! Like, like he's some object!"

       "Shinsou—" Aizawa was cut off once again with Shinsou blaming him, a hero, for allowing Izuku to be taken away forcefully. "Enough!" Aizawa's eyes glowed red, while his hair floated. That seemed to shut the purple kid up, Shinsou staggered back a bit before sitting back down, crossing his arms and looking anywhere but at Aizawa. "You have a right to be upset about this. And I will not tell you to suck it up, why? Because, yes, it sucks that I allowed them to take Izuku. But I will not tolerate you blaming me or any other Pro-Hero for not stopping him. This was his decision, as a human being, not an Android. You should understand, this is UA against a whole organization. An organization that has no flaws, where nobody knows how fucked up they are, and support them fully." the Erasure Hero wasn't yelling, and he rarely cursed either, which is something that really surprised Shinsou. Aizawa sighed, "Currently, UA does not have the necessary power to go against the whole commission. But do you really think we'd allow them to take Izuku without a plan to get him back?"

       "W-What?" Shinsou's eyes brightened, he did not hear about this, "How?" Shinsou stood up, leaning forward, waiting for Aizawa to tell him whatever plan they came up with, he wanted every detail. Izuku was his friend afterall.

       "That's confidential." Shinsou sat back with a huff after hearing so, "When he comes back, do you think he'd want to see you acting like this? Skipping class, for sleep? Though, thanks to that, you actually look more alive." Aizawa wasn't talking about if they get Izuku back, he was talking about when. Meaning, even if the plan were to fail, the Pro-Hero would still find ways to bring Izuku back home. "He might even joke about getting kidnapped more often if it'll get you to sleep more."

       "Nice try, Izuku doesn't even know how to joke." Shinsou chuckled, the thought of Izuku coming back really did make him happier.

       "He's more human than you think Shinsou. Enough about this, let's talk about this week's worth of work you need to catch up on, especially those two tests you missed."

       "Whaat? I missed a week, not a month!"

Another half a week had gone by. There wasn't anything interesting that happened... except how Sero had gotten his elbow stuck behind Kirishima's closet, which isn't supposed to be possible. But, this is Class 1-A we're talking about... anything's possible when it comes to them. Class had ended 2 hours ago, and most of the class kept quiet, going about their day on their own in the common room. That is until Kaminari Denki bursts out of the elevator.

       "Hey, I got an email!" Kaminari couldn't help but tell everyone that was in the room, shoving his phone in their faces.

       "What's so special about an email?" Jirou pushed Kaminari's hand away, it's impossible to look at the screen when it's shoved right against your face.

       "But, it's an email! From Izuku!" Now that, was something everyone was interested in. But why did Kaminari of all people get an email from Izuku? Before anyone could ask for the contents of the email, Shinsou had already started dragging him towards the school. The first thing to do is to inform Aizawa, he'd know what to do next (hopefully).

       "That was easier than expected.." It was the female from the hospital.

       "Who knew that this scrap of metal knew how to care for others?"

       "Don't lump it in with us, humans. It doesn't have feelings." The owner of this voice was also female, except their voice was a lot deeper.

       "Even if it did, they're just imitations. When we get back to HQ, they're going to remove all the imitations of these so-called feelings, and the android would be back into being the robot it was created for."

There was silence, before it continued, starting off with someone sighing loudly, "But you know, those kids were pretty strong." You could hear some popping noises before the voice continued, "I still beat them though."

       "Don't you think you went a little overboard? They could be valuable assets in the future too."

       "Those kids were nothing! What's harder was stopping the doctors from healing those students."

       "Should we really be saying this in front of the android?"

       "Eh, they turned it off anyways." CLANG!

       "DUDE! Don't kick it!" This was a new voice, it sounded like they haven't been working at the commission for long from the way they talked.

       "It's fine, it's not like this thing's alive or anything. Plus, it's just metal. It can't feel anything."

       "Still, if the commission finds of that you're kicking around their newest asset... you know that won't be fun."

       "Yeah, yeah, whatever. We're supposed to keep quiet about this, nobody'll know as long as we keep our mouths shut."

Aizawa ended the audio there. There's more evidence to show, but if he continued listening to the audio any further, he really would jump at the commission.

       "As you can see, we have proof of what you've done to our students, including Izuku. As of right now, UA is preparing a lawsuit against the Hero Commission." This was the only ever time Nedzu had looked so serious.

       "You think you can threaten us?" Currently there was only a small group of those from the Commission, and someone who came as a substitute of the President.

       "Consider this payback. A gift, if you will." Midnight sneered, it felt great to have an upper hand against the commission.

       "You think the court would allow you to blackmail the Commission?"

       "If the court doesn't want to hear from us, I wonder what the world would think. The perfect Hero Public Safety Commission attacking innocent vulnerable students." Some would think this is a bit overboard, but it's what they deserved.

       "We can cancel the lawsuit if you give us Izuku back. The parents have yet to know the truth behind what happened to their children. We'll be having a conference with each student to see how they'd like to go about. If even one parent decides to bring the Commission to court, know that UA will be supporting them fully." This is a demand. They will get Izuku back. There were a few murmurs from those of the Commission before they gave an answer.

       "Fine, you can have that useless android back. We can do better than a piece of metal."

       "His name is Izuku. And he is not just a piece of metal. Give us the address of his whereabouts, so we can bring him home." Present Mic growled out, he will not sit by and allow them to continue to dehumanise Izuku.

       "The address cannot be disclosed, but we will send someone to escort it back—"

       "Him. Now, this concludes our meeting. Please, kindly leave the grounds of UA and never return unless there's a valid reason to." Nedzu forced a smile, everyone could see it was forced from the way it strained his face. Those from the commission left quickly after the meeting ended, and finally, were the staffs able to let out a breath. No matter how much of an upper hand you have against the HPSC, it would always be pressuring. Pro-Heroes cleared up and left for the day with their minds at peace, because Izuku is coming home.

Chapter Text

       "Tomura Shigaraki." All For One called out from the screen.

       "Sensei." Shigaraki turned to the empty screen, you could only see static. He had once told All For One about a certain android that's currently in UA's hands, and frankly it intrigued him. That android, Izuku... will be his.

       "I've heard about the transport of that android, isn't this a good time for us to take that android?" All For One had worded it as a question, but it was an order. An order that Shigaraki's willing to fulfill. He nodded, not that his sensei would be able to see. "Kurogiri."

       "Yes, sensei." Kurogiri stopped wiping the bar counter, he was by no means a bartender. But this is a bar (that nobody goes too).

       "Assist Shigaraki. I would like the android by this afternoon. You can do that, yes?"

       "Yes, Sensei." Both Shigaraki and Kurogiri replied as the screen shut off.

       "All right, the android's loaded." A man tapped the back of the truck, signaling those sitting in the driver and passenger seat that they could leave. After UA had blackmailed the HPSC, Eraserhead had personally made sure those at the Commission knew what would happen if there was a single scratch on the android. The Erasure Hero was probably one of the very few who had the guts to personally make a threat against the HPSC. The man watched as the two drove off, "Man, if we were just going to give 'em back the android, what was the point? And to make sure it doesn't get damaged?"

       "Didn't you hear? Apparently, Eraserhead had stormed into the headquarters demanding for the android's whereabouts. Since this lab is confidential, he threatened the President that he wouldn't let the Commission off if we even so much as mark the android!" A woman whispered, she had helped load other cargoes along with Izuku onto the truck.

       "It's just Eraserhead—"

       "Ahem," A voice from behind interrupted, "If you both still want your job, I'd shut my mouth." The whole situation with Eraserhead threatening the President supposedly 'never happened' and should be kept that way.

       "So, when exactly is Izuku coming back?" Mina's been hovering over Aizawa's desk everyday since she caught wind of the news of Izuku's return. "You know, we should set up a party for his return! Sensei, how much longer—"

       "Ashido, if I hear another word out of you... Expect to receive twice the amount of assignments than your classmates for the unforeseen future." Mina squeaked before dashing out of the Teacher's room. Aizawa sighed as the door slowly closed shut, he understood how Mina felt. He too, felt excitement with the thought of Izuku returning, but he really can't listen to Mina asking every second of every day. Though, it's been three days since the Commission had agreed to allow Izuku to return to his home. You know, it couldn't hurt to ask (not that he ever cared about the Commission). Picking up the phone, that he uses strictly for Hero work, he dialed the Commission. At the start of every Hero's career, Heroes are provided a phone, for easier connection in the Hero World. The phones themselves are embedded with a code, that would self destruct when the password is inputted incorrectly (which is why it's strictly important that Heroes never forget their own unique passcode) or when it can no longer detect the Hero's heartbeat (because the Commission is full of weird people, and they probably did some weird voodoo on it). The phone rang a few times before someone on the other end picked up.

       "State your name."

       "Eraserhead," The HPSC would never actively try to remember the actual names of Heroes, especially underground Heroes. There was an audible sigh on the other end.

       "What do you need Eraserhead?" The person tried to sound nice, but it sounded way too strained.

       "Put me on with the President." This was a demand, they were either going to put the President on the phone, or he'll storm up there himself. With a deeper sigh, they told Eraserhead to wait a minute or two. It didn't take one or two minutes, it took 4 minutes and 21 seconds. (He wasn't counting, just stating facts).

       "Eraserhead, please understand that I am a very busy—"

       "Spare me the lecture, where is Izuku?" The sooner he finds out how much longer it'd take for Izuku to return, the sooner he can end this phonecall.

       "Izuku?" The President questioned, as if she doesn't know who it was, "Ah... the Android. We've already sent someone to escort him to UA. He should've arrived yesterday afternoon." During his last visit (Four days ago) he had emphasized that the Android was a 'him' and his name is Izuku.

       "Well, I wouldn't be calling to ask if he was here. Would I?" Aizawa snapped back.

       "Eraserhead, I am still your superior." Then another sigh, "Please wait while I call the two escorts." With a click, the call ended.

It wasn't until another 15 minutes did the President call Aizawa back, "How's Izuku?" he asked hurriedly, screw formalities.

       "Before we continue, please understand that this whole situation was out of our control." Bad news, it's a bad news. Something happened to Izuku.

       "Did something happen to Izuku?"

       "The two escorts are currently hospitalized. On the way to to UA, they were attacked by the League Of Villains. As for the android, his whereabouts are currently unkno—" Aizawa immediately hung up, because if he stayed on the line, nothing would come out of it. The door to the teacher's room slid open,

       "Hey, Shout—"

       "Fuck!" Aizawa kicked the side of his desk, because fuck. The League took Izuku, he shouldn't have said his name during the USJ attack. He shouldn't have brought Izuku in the first place.

       "You okay?" It was Midnight, she placed a hand at the back of his chair. She looked at Aizawa with eyes filled with concern, because Aizawa Shouta does not curse. Even if he did, he wouldn't have kicked his desk.

       "Cancel the rest of the day, we're having a staff meeting right now." Aizawa stood and headed for the door.

       "O-Okay? What about class?" Midnight scrambled to follow after him, because he would never willingly call for a meeting unless it was an emergency.

       "Izuku's more important than class."

       "What's wrong with Izuku?

       "I don't know."

       "Is he okay?"

       "I don't know," Aizawa increased his pace, Midnight had to jog a bit to keep with him.

       "Well, if you don't know then—"

       "Because he's missing. You hear that? Missing." Aizawa snapped, "I don't know where he is. I don't know how he's doing. I don't know why they took him. I don't know if he's even alive right now. I don't know anything," his voice wobbled as he continued, "I... Fuck, I shouldn't have, if I had just left him here instead. If he wasn't at USJ, if I hadn't stupidly said his name. All this wouldn't even be happening right now." He pulled at his scarf, suddenly it's getting harder to breathe. It was getting hot, why was it getting hot? The heat made him nauseous, fuck.

       "Shouta. Shouta, look at me." Midnight was suddenly in his view, "This isn't your fault. Don't you dare say you shouldn't have brought Izuku to USJ. If he hadn't been there, you would've been dead. Shouta, it's not your fault." Suddenly, the weight of something pulling on his hair was gone. He had been unconsciously pulling at his hair, Midnight now held both his hands in hers. The silence between them felt nice. Once in a while Nemuri would squeeze his hands, as if to remind him that she's still there. The next time Aizawa opened his eyes, Midnight's staring at him. Creep. "How're you feeling?"

       "Tired... what was that?"

       "Mm... a panic attack," Midnight uncapped and handed Aizawa a bottle of water, "Completely normal, used to have them when I first started my Hero career." They sat for a while, before Aizawa remembered the staff meeting. "I've already called everyone. Even briefed them on what you told me, we'll rest for another five minutes and then we'll head down to meet the rest of the staffs." Aizawa grumbled a disagreement but made no move to actually get up.

Both Midnight and Aizawa entered the meeting room, Midnight had offered to explain the situation to the rest of the staffs, but Aizawa had insisted that he tell everyone. He's the only one who knows the full story. He started from Mina leaving the teacher's room to his phone call with the President, to hearing Izuku's whereabouts being missing. After listening, the staffs all devised a plan. The situation with Izuku missing is to be kept from the students, this year's batch of students would no doubt run off on their own in hopes of finding Izuku. UA will work with the Police force to find any potential hideouts for the League. Although they'll need all the help that can be given, the staffs still had students to teach. Any free time would be used to help find Izuku, and bring him home. Because he will come home.

Chapter Text

       "Sensei, we've brought the android." Shigaraki stepped to the side as Kurogiri carried Izuku into the room. All For One smiled, putting his head on his hand.

       "Turn him on, and you may leave." Kurogiri did just as told, pulling down the collar of Izuku's shirt to reveal the power button. When he pushed the button, Izuku began whirring. The door slammed shut, leaving Izuku with All For One.

       "𝙿𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙾𝚗... 𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘, 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝙸𝚣𝚞𝚔𝚞." Izuku stared ar All For One who sat at the other side of the room.

       "Come here, Izuku." All For One smiled, extending his hand for Izuku to take.

       "𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚌𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚅𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎 𝚁𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚐𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚂𝚘𝚏𝚝𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚎.... 𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘, 𝙷𝚒𝚜𝚊𝚜𝚑𝚒." Izuku made no move, only standing where he woke from. This was Professor Hisashi. THE Professor who created him. The Professor who would fix his circuits when they got pulled out. The Professor who would mend the injuries he received. The Professor who gave Izuku his artificial heart. So, why... how is he alive? All For One chuckles at Izuku's bewildered look, even though Izuku was just staring. He was the one who created Izuku, so of course he would understand Izuku best.

       "Izuku, come here." All For One repeated, this time with more force. Izuku didn't want to, but he found himself shuffling forward. "Good boy, you've grown so much." He pulled Izuku onto his lap, laughing as he patted the Android's back. It was supposed to be a warm gesture, from father to son. This was anything but warm.

       "𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚏𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚘𝚛.... 𝙷𝚒𝚜𝚊𝚜𝚑𝚒.." Izuku didn't know what to say as he sat there, Hisashi... isn't supposed to be alive, because he didn't have a heart (literally).

       "Hm? If you have a question, you can ask." All For One smiles, patting Izuku on the head. It didn't give off the same warmth as when Aizawa patted his head.

       "𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚝 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚎? 𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚋𝚎𝚎𝚗 𝚌𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚜..." the Android asked, paying no mind to how the Professor continued to caress his arm.

       "I've had a quirk for centuries. Well, before people would call quirks as witchcraft." He explained, furrowing his brows as he caressed Izuku's forearm, "This, isn't the metal I used. Who did this?" All For One tightened his grip, he created Izuku. From the bolts and metal to the whole programming, who touched Izuku? His Izuku, the Android he created?

       "𝙰𝚑, 𝚢𝚎𝚜. 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚍 𝚋𝚎𝚎𝚗 𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚌𝚌𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚒𝚗𝚟𝚘𝚕𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊 𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔. 𝙰 𝚂𝚞𝚙𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚘 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚑𝚊𝚍 𝚋𝚎𝚎𝚗 𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚎𝚗𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚝𝚘 𝚠𝚎𝚕𝚍 𝚒𝚝. 𝚂𝚑𝚎 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚊𝚍𝚍𝚎𝚍 𝚊 𝚗𝚎𝚠 𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚖." Izuku chose his words carefully, although Professor Hisashi created him.. it's been centuries, Izuku had the right to be wary about him.

       "We're going to go fix that arm right now, and remove that cooling system too." All For One didn't like the idea of someone else touching what was rightfully his.

       "𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚏𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚘𝚛 𝙷𝚒𝚜𝚊𝚜𝚑𝚒, 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚠𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚖𝚢 𝚊𝚛𝚖. 𝙼𝚢 𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚘𝚛𝚜 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚗'𝚝 𝚍𝚎𝚝𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚊𝚗𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚖𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚖 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚍." Izuku liked the cooling system Hatsume installed, it helps Aizawa-sensei with his migranes. "𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚏𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚘𝚛, 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚎𝚖𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚝. 𝙸𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚐𝚛𝚒𝚙 𝚖𝚢 𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚝𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚎𝚛, 𝙸'𝚖 𝚊𝚏𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚖𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚖𝚎𝚕𝚝 𝚖𝚢 𝚊𝚛𝚖." Izuku tried to pull his hand away, but All For One held tight.

       "Don't move Izuku, I wouldn't want to ruin anything." The android opened his mouth, only for All For One to interrupt, "I think it's okay, if this arm melts. I can always fix you Izuku." All For One smiled, it wasn't like the ones Izuku liked seeing from the students at UA.

       "Pens down. Turn in your exams, and the rest of class will be study hall." Aizawa waited for everyone to hand in their papers, some went back to their seat, while someone (Ashido) fidgets. Aizawa sighed, "What do you want, Ashido?"

       "Well, it's been a while.. when is Izuku coming back?" That was the last thing he wanted to hear come from her mouth. If these kids were to find out about Izuku being missing, they won't just sit back and wait. "Sensei?" Ashido gave him a worried expression, Aizawa's silence was all she knew, and she understood what it meant. Something had happened, something happened to Izuku.

       "Study hall." Aizawa said nothing else, only pointed to her desk. Ashido said nothing else, and retreated to her seat. "I'm leaving for the rest of class, Iida, you're in charge." Aizawa then picked up his stuff and left. They can deal with themselves before lunch.

       "You put your students at study hall again? This is the third time this week." Vlad King was walking a few steps in front of Aizawa. Any other time, he would talk about how Class 1-B is superior than Class 1-A and the Erasure Hero could care less. Nemuri joined them along the way to the meeting room.

       "With the help of Detective Tsukauchi, we were able to find some sort of evidence." Nemuri informed him, giving Aizawa a few files that would be distributed to the other staff members, "There's no physical evidence but..." Her attention trailed to Hizashi, who was rushing towards them.

       "We-" Hizashi took in a huge breath, "found Izuku. We found him."

They found Izuku.

Chapter Text

       "𝙿𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙾𝚗... 𝚁𝚎𝚋𝚘𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚂𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚜...𝟸𝟹% ..." Aizawa found himself staring at Izuku, laying on that god forsaken metal table, waiting for Izuku. Power Loader had finished giving an overall check up on Izuku two hours ago, nothing was broken. On the contrary, it looks as if Izuku was given an upgrade. Whether it was good or not, they'd have to find out on their own. "....𝟸𝟻%" Izuku beeped, and Aizawa sighed, this will be a long night.

       "Let's see how long you want to play friends with those puny heroes, Iz-u-ku." 

       "𝟷𝟶𝟶%... 𝚁𝚎𝚋𝚘𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎." Izuku's eyes shot open, startling Aizawa. He definitely heard Professor Hisashi's voice. Right, he saw Professor Hisashi too. What did he say to him? Izuku doesn't know, why doesn't Izuku remember? It was as if Professor Hisashi had erased his memory drive.

       "Izuku. Are you okay?" Aizawa looked worried, and he held Izuku's face so softly, more than Professor Hisashi ever could. Izuku held tightly on Aizawa's sleeve.

       "𝚂𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒..." Izuku whispers, "𝚂𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒..." he repeats, as if he couldn't believe Aizawa was there. "𝚂𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒..." A third time, this time he sounded relieved. Izuku leaned forward, laying his head on Aizawa's chest.

       "I'm here," Aizawa had his arms around Izuku, as best as he could, "I'm here, Izuku."

       "𝙿𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝚖𝚢 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎, 𝚂𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒. 𝙸'𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝚖𝚢 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗. 𝙿𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝚖𝚢 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎."

       "Izuku." He'd repeat it as many times as Izuku needs. Clearly, something happened. And he wouldn't mind dragging his nonexistent reputation through mud to put an end to the League. Izuku repeats, asking him to say it once more. "Izu—"

       "𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚎: 𝙱𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎 𝚊𝚝 𝟽%! 𝚁𝚎𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚝: 𝙱𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎 𝚊𝚝 𝟽%! 𝚆𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚗 𝚘𝚗 𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚙𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛 𝚖𝚘𝚍𝚎? 𝙸𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎. 𝚆𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚒𝚏 𝙸 𝚐𝚘 𝚘𝚗 𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚙𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛 𝚖𝚘𝚍𝚎? 𝙸 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎 𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚏𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗. 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑, 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚏𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚋𝚎 𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚊𝚒𝚛𝚎𝚍." Izuku let go of Aizawa's sleeve.

       "Of course. Let's bring you to the teacher's dorm. We recently installed another charging port for you." Aizawa smiled gently, it had no hidden meaning behind it like Professor Hisashi's smile. Does he remember how the Professor smiled at him? He's brought out of his thoughts when Aizawa ruffled his hair. "Welcome home, Izuku."

       "𝙷𝚘𝚖𝚎. 𝙸𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚗𝚘𝚞𝚗, 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚜 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚕𝚢, 𝚎𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚊𝚜 𝚊 𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛 𝚘𝚏 𝚊 𝚏𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚢 𝚘𝚛 𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚑𝚘𝚕𝚍. 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝙸𝚣𝚞𝚔𝚞'𝚜 𝚑𝚘𝚖𝚎?" Izuku asks Aizawa, and the Erasure Hero nods. "𝙸𝚣𝚞𝚔𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚊 𝚑𝚘𝚖𝚎." The android tells himself, "𝙷𝚘𝚖𝚎." He repeats, like it was the best word he's ever heard in his life. It probably was, when he never had a home for himself. And Aizawa meant it when he told Izuku, this was his home. "𝙻𝚘𝚠 𝙿𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛 𝙼𝚘𝚍𝚎: 𝙰𝚞𝚝𝚘 𝙰𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚍"

       "Let's go." Aizawa held his hand out for Izuku to hold, and the android gladly takes his hand.

Aizawa shuts the door behind him, Izuku's currently recharging in the newly installed charging port. Sure, they had to clear out a bunch of storage to make a room for Izuku... It was worth it.

       "How is he?" Hizashi asks before any of the other teachers could. The common room of the teacher's dorms is a mess, full of paperwork and boxes they haven't went through yet.

       "As good as any android can be." He sighs, plopping down to sit on a crochet turtle floor cushion. When Izuku really got into crocheting from Gran Torino, he made floor cushions for every staff member.

       "Everyone's here?" They all turn towards the voice, it was Power Loader. He didn't have his helmet on, but he had his hair down, blocking half of his face like his helmet would. He was holding some data sheets in his hand. God, how does he see through that. "We need to discuss about Izuku."

       "Is he okay?" Midnight asks, "I thought you said that his check up showed no abnormalities."

       "That's not what I wanted to talk about. Izuku's as healthy as they come, but there's something I want to address." Power Loader threw down the data sheets, "I've been monitoring Izuku since the day he was brought into my workshop. Based on these charts, Izuku can understand human emotions as well as feel these emotions too. And he's learning to express them as time go on." None of that made sense, and to be completely honest, they can't read the charts either.

       "Interesting. This means, our Izuku here is developing more human emotions. Like a growing child." Nedzu's laying on his stomach in front of the charts, comparing one to another. When had he gotten there?

       "So, Izuku is becoming more human by the second?" Cementoss asks, he kind of understood.

       "Precisely. Though, he's not physically human."

       "The question is, will he be a danger to us all ?" It was a rhetorical question, they knew that. Because Nedzu's just that type of person. Still, Aizawa answered him anyways.

       "No. He won't, because it's Izuku." Is it possible to have this much trust in something- someone who's not even human? Yes, there is and he would bet on it. Izuku would never willingly hurt anyone.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝙸𝚗𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚗𝚒𝚊. 𝙷𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚋𝚎𝚎𝚗 𝚏𝚎𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚍? 𝙿𝚎𝚛𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚜, 𝚒𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚍𝚞𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚒𝚛𝚛𝚎𝚐𝚞𝚕𝚊𝚛 𝚜𝚕𝚎𝚎𝚙 𝚜𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚍𝚞𝚕𝚎, 𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚘𝚞-𝚔𝚞𝚗.

Where did he learn all these?! As if sensing his question, Izuku answers, "𝙰𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚍𝚘 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝚒𝚗𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗. 𝙸𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚍𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚠𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚐?" Of course, Ashido Mina had to be the culprit of this. Sighing, Shinsou shook his head.

       "Just, don't do that. It's not common here. Midnight-sensei was an exchange student in America for some period of time, and she liked the way they greeted each other. Here, we do handshakes instead." He explains, it's better if the android knows about this... lest he gets charged with assault.

       "𝙾𝚗 𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚎, 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚏𝚊𝚌𝚝 𝟽 𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚞𝚝𝚎𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝟹𝟺 𝚜𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚜 𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚌𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚜 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝙲𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚘𝚜𝚜. 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚞𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚜𝚔𝚒𝚙𝚙𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚌𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚜.

       "I-zu-ku!" Ashido pounced onto the android the moment she saw him, "I missed you, my child. My sun, my lovely, my everything!"

       "𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘, 𝙰𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚍𝚘. 𝙸𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚍, 𝚊𝚜 𝙸 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚗𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚊 𝚏𝚎𝚝𝚞𝚜. 𝙸 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚢 𝚊 𝚑𝚞𝚖𝚊𝚗, 𝚞𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚜 𝚜𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚊𝚜 𝚒𝚛𝚘𝚗, 𝚊𝚕𝚞𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚞𝚖, 𝚠𝚒𝚛𝚎𝚜, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚎.

       "It's a metaphor!" Ashido cuts him off.

       "Actually, it's a hyperbole." Shinsou corrects her, he has his foot up on the table, playing games on his phone.

       "Yeah, hyperbole or whatever."

       "𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝙸 𝚊𝚕𝚜𝚘 𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚋𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚋𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚖𝚎𝚊𝚗𝚜 𝙸'𝚍 𝚋𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚛𝚐𝚊𝚗𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍—"

       "Just say you missed me too." Ashido says helplessly, she's really got to teach this smarty pants.

       "𝙾𝚔𝚊𝚢, 𝙸 𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚘𝚘." Izuku hugs Ashido, based on his research, you hug a person when you miss them, the only problem is... when do you stop hugging them?

       "Ashido looks like she's about to die, Izuku." Shinsou pats his shoulder, urging him to let go. Izuku lets go of Ashido, giving her two pats on the head.

       "Oh, how I missed this!" Ashido continues to hug Izuku tightly. "We are so going to have a sleepover tonight with everyone."

       "Sweet, we'll use the living room." Shinsou replies, not looking up from his phone, he's currently relaying this message to the rest of the class.

To say the dorm is a mess, is an understatement. Pillows and blankets are scattered around in an attempt to make a fort, or even an area to sleep. Students arguing with each other on what should be put where, and how things should be done.

       "And I'm telling you, this isn't how you'd make a fort!" Although Hagakure is invisible, you could practically see the steam coming out of her ears. She's pulling at a sheet of blanket.

       "Who said we were making a fort, I'm trying to make it comfortable for everyone!" Kaminari responds, pulling on the other end, "Who cares about forts anyways! Izuku would like this better!"

From the other side of the room is Kirishima and Sero carrying the couch as they argue where the best location is for it. The supposedly friendly yet easy sleepover quickly turned into a fight where everyone's throwing pillows at each other.

       "You are so dead!" One yelled

       "That's if you can catch me!" Another retorts, running across the room. Izuku spent his time leisurely watching the class enjoy each other's presence. He watches as Kirishima hardens himself on the impact of a pillow, earning complaints from Mineta on how 'using quirks is cheating'. Even the stoic Todoroki is seen being taught how to pillow fight by Sato. As it turns out, pillow fighting requires accuracy and having control of your strength, if not one could end up like Bakugou's victims (aka Kaminari, who's still on the ground).

       "Psst... Izuku, come here." Izuku turns to the voice, it was Dark shadow, peeking out from what seems to be a fort. Seeing Dark Shadow beckoning him over, Izuku quietly follows him into the fort. Inside, one can see Yaoyorozu created more pillows from her quirk as to make the corner fort extra comfy. A bright smile appears on her face as she turns around to see the android.

       "Izuku! Welcome in, I hope you'd enjoy our wonderful abode. Although, I haven't made forts before, I hope this is to your standard." She says as she hands Jirou some pillows.

       "𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐... '𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚘 𝙱𝚞𝚒𝚕𝚍 𝚊 𝙵𝚘𝚛𝚝'..." Izuku's pupils display buffering symbols, "𝚋𝚊𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚜, 𝙸 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎 𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚜𝚊𝚢 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚌𝚎𝚛𝚝𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚘𝚙-𝚌𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚜." Izuku proceeds to give each of them two head pats in the head. Despite how small it looks, the inside of the fort was quite big. As Izuku moved deeper into the fort, he sees Shouji sleeping. How does one sleep with the chaos outside? As time goes by, the noises outside the fort soon dies down. By now, everyone has calmed down and has fallen asleep. Slowly, Izuku climbs out of the fort. As he crawls out, he's met with a pair of black boots. It was Eraserhead! Aizawa puts a finger on his lips, as Izuku opens his mouth to speak. Realizing why he had done that, Izuku nods his head. As they stood face to face, Aizawa felt a sense of relief. Izuku was finally back at UA, that's great! Aizawa knew that, but there was something bugging him that he didn't understand. The question is, what's making him feel this discomfort? It's as if it's at the tip of his tongue. He's lost in thought while he holds Izuku's hand, leading them back to the android's room.

       "𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘𝚘 𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚍 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚊 𝚋𝚞𝚒𝚕𝚍𝚞𝚙 𝚘𝚏 𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚖𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚖𝚊𝚢 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚛𝚞𝚙𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚋𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗. 𝙼𝚊𝚢 𝙸 𝚒𝚗𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜?" Izuku's voice cuts through his thoughts. Somehow, without Aizawa realizing, he's tucking Izuku into his charging pod. It really was great that the kid's back. That's it, Izuku's the problem. Well, the source of it. It was too easy.

       "Izuku," Aizawa hesitates, it feels wrong to doubt him, "There's something I'd like to ask you," He waited for the android to respond, it really was too easy. Why would the league take him? How was there no fight? As if Izuku was no longer needed, thrown away by the league.

       "𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚠𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚖𝚢 𝚊𝚋𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚎𝚜."

       "What happened after the Hero Commission sent you home?" Aizawa asks warily, "Do you have any recollection of what happened after?"

       "𝚂𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚜.... 𝙽𝚘 𝚁𝚎𝚜𝚞𝚕𝚝𝚜 𝙵𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍. 𝙸 𝚊𝚙𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚐𝚒𝚣𝚎, 𝚒𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚗𝚘 𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚜 𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜 𝚋𝚎𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚞𝚙 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚒." The way Izuku talked was different than before, less human and more robotic. But he has no memories of what happened, asking Izuku won't solve anything.

       "That's alright, Izuku." Aizawa pats Izuku on the head, "Nothing to apologize for. It's getting late, tomorrow Vlad King will be combining his class with ours for a field trip to The Beast's Forest for training." Aizawa watches as Izuku goes into low power mode before being plugged into the charging pod. "I'll see you tomorrow, Izuku." He shuts the door behind him as he leaves.
