Chapter Text
When Deko awoke, she felt something nibbling at her neck, only to discover that it was Todoroki doing so.
“TODOROKI!”
Deko slapped Todoroki until he let go of her.
“What?” Todoroki smiled. “Was I not supposed to enjoy the company of the sexiest girl ever?”
Deko glared at Todoroki. Then, she burst out laughing.
“Oh, you’re so silly, Todoroki!”
Todoroki giggled.
“Seriously, though, ask permission before you do stuff like that, Sillyroki!”
Todoroki smirked. “Oh, you mean stuff like this?”
Todoroki grabbed Deko’s massive breasts, causing her to gasp and blush.
“You bastard! I oughta…”
“Oughta…AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
“Yeah, very funny to grab a girl’s boobs now that you’re being tickled!”
“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I’LL GET YOU FOR THIS!”
“Say that again?”
“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I SAID I’LL GET YOU FOR THIS!
“I wouldn’t think…AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Todoroki put on an evil grin. “See how it feels…Midoriya?”
“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! STAHP!”
And so, Deko and Todoroki engaged in a little tickle war before Deko decided she’d had enough and grabbed Todoroki’s wrists.
“OK, Tickleroki, let’s get dressed and get to class!”
===
Deko and Todoroki got dressed and headed for their first class of the day, making a stop at the hill where they could get reception, and Deko got a call from Jiro:
“Hello?”
“Good morning, Midoriya, although it’s evening back here in Japan.”
“Hey, what’s up, Jiro?”
“I got some information on Steel Wolf. His real name is Kichiro Regenbogen, Reichsführer-SS of the Japanisch-Deutsches Reichskommissariat. His Quirk is Polyalloy, meaning that his body is actually made of liquid metal. This Quirk allows him to take the form of other people and meld into floors, walls and ceilings. There are a few limitations to this Quirk: First of all, he can’t change into anything small like a pack of cigarettes, only objects of similar size. Second, he can’t form complex machines such as cars, guns or bombs. He can, however, form knives or other stabbing weapons from his arms and legs, as well as blunt objects such as crowbars.”
“Got it. Did you find out about anything else?”
“No, that was all I could get on Steel Wolf and the JDR.”
“OK, I’ll let the others know. Have a nice day, Jiro!”
“You too!”
Jiro hung up.
“What’s going on, Deko?” asked Todoroki.
“Jiro got some information on Steel Wolf, I’ll…”]
Just then, Deko caught a glint out of the corner of her eye.
“GET DOWN!”
Deko pushed Todoroki to the ground just in time to dodge a sniper’s bullet.
“Deko, you…you saved my life!”
“You’re welcome! Stay down!”
Deko and Todoroki darted in and out of cover to avoid getting shot, while Todoroki used an ice shield to protect them out in the open. While the sniper was good, his bullets couldn’t penetrate Todoroki’s ice. Deko and Todoroki were almost at the school building when they heard loud screaming. They looked over and saw a violent rustling in one of the bushes, so against their better judgment, they hurried over to check it out, only to see a werewolf in a Waffen-SS uniform getting torn up by a female lion, who promptly took notice of them. Unsure if the lion was going to eat them, Todoroki drew a Smith & Wesson Model 29, blued steel with an 8 3/8” barrel.
What really surprised them, though, was when the lion changed into a young blonde girl with her head shaved on the sides and back, but a messy mop on top and a large bang on the right side of her face, and amber eyes. She wore a purple vest with yellow trim over a white blouse with a black necktie, a dark purple pencil skirt with a black belt and black loafers with black knee high socks, plus ear and labret piercings.
“OK, put down the hand cannon, big guy. I’m on your side…sort of.”
Todoroki holstered his Model 29.
“Excuse me, but are you a student at this school?” asked Deko.
“Was. My name’s Zadi Feldshuh. I’m technically supposed to be on the run with Elda, but I’m working undercover to combat the JDR.”
Deko smiled. “Nice to meet you, Zadi! I’m Izuko Midoriya, and this is my boyfriend, Shoto Todoroki. We’re exchange students from UA High School in Japan, and we came here to combat the JDR, too.”
“Just one question,” said Todoroki. “Why are you on the run, and who’s this ‘Elda’ you speak of?”
“Elda Kristov is the daughter of former headmaster Archibald Kristov. She attempted to lead the Dragon-Marked people into the outside world while they were under the influence of the Shadow Spawn. Jonathan Lebron’s sacrifice prevented this, but she and I escaped, and it was then that we got into contact with the League of Villains and the JDR.”
“But why are you helping us?”
“I’m Jewish. Us and Nazis don’t exactly see eye to eye, so I’ve been working undercover to stop Elda and the JDR. Before I go, though, let me say this: the JDR has a mole in Supernatural Academy.”
“Who?” asked Deko.
“Dunno; I haven’t gotten that far yet. Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go; if I stay any longer, Elda’s gonna get suspicious of me! Nice meeting you two!”
“Bye!”
Deko and Todoroki waved at Zadi, who waved back at them before leaving.
“Very strange, don’t you think?” said Todoroki.
“What do you mean?”
“This Zadi girl, why would she risk her life by working undercover with Nazis? Wouldn’t they find out she was Jewish sooner or later?”
“Judging by the tone in her voice, the pupils in her eyes and her body language, she’s trustworthy. Besides, there have been cases of Jews working undercover against the Nazis. Ever heard of Marthe Cohn?”
Todoroki stroked his chin. “Can’t say I have.”
Deko smiled and put her hand on Todoroki’s shoulder. “Look her up when you get a chance! Now come on, let’s report this to Mrs. Lebron!”
“Right!”
“Oh, one more question…”
“Yes?”
“Where did you get a gun, and how did you get it past airport security?”
“My father is friends with an arms dealer. As for getting it past airport security…that’s a trade secret, Deko.”
“Then maybe I’ll tickle it out of you!”
Todoroki pushed her hands away. “No time to fool around; let’s go.”
===
Before breakfast, Deko and Todoroki headed up to Lienda’s office to report the shooting:
“Oh my!” Lienda put her hand up to her chin. “I’m glad you two are OK! Any idea who did it?”
“There’s no doubt in my mind: the JDR knows what we’re up to and is trying to kill us. They have a mole inside the school, but I’m not sure who it is. Regardless, I’m not backing down!”
Lienda smiled. “I admire your courage, Midoriya. You and the rest of your fellow students go about your business. In the meantime, I’ll have the Council Enforcers double up on security.”
“Right!” said Deko and Todoroki.
===
At lunch, Deko had different company: Jessa, Mischa, Uraraka and Tsu. Uraraka had suggested that they have a girls’ club day, so it was them hanging out. Mischa inquired about the attempted assassination:
“Deko, I heard you and Todoroki almost got shot today. What’s going on?”
“The JDR must’ve gotten wind of our plans and sent someone to assassinate us. I’m sure of it!”
Jessa smacked the bottom of her fist against her palm. “Then we gotta act now!”
“But how do we even know where they’re going to strike?” asked Uraraka.
“Ochaco’s right,” said Tsu. “If we charge in without a plan, we’re as good as dead, ribbit. Besides, we don’t even know where their headquarters are.”
“We’ll figure out a way.” Deko clenched her fist. “It could take some time, but we’ll get through this!”
Mischa smiled. “I like your spunk, Deko! By the way, may I ask you a question?”
Deko nodded. “Go ahead.”
“Why is Bakugo so angry all the time? Seriously, it seems like he blows up over the smallest things!”
“Yeah, you’d think he eats dynamite for breakfast or something!” Jessa giggled.
Deko shrugged. “I’m sort of at a loss to explain that one, Mischa. As far back as I can remember, he always teased me because I used to be Quirkless, but when I got One For All and joined UA, he tried to do whatever he could to one-up me and constantly got frustrated when he failed. I guess what I’m trying to say is that not only does he feel inferior to me, but he also feels like he has to work twice as hard to try to surpass me and is frustrated at being surpassed by a girl.”
Mischa frowned and leaned away from Deko. “Wow, talk about a sexist pig!”
Deko crossed her arms. “Sexist he may be, but he is very powerful and a valuable ally if you can get him to cooperate.”
Jessa frowned. “Still, I wonder how any of you put up with him!”
“Well Jessa, it’s not a question of putting up with him so much as the teachers won’t put up with him,” said Tsu. “As long as they hang the threat of expulsion over his head like the Sword of Damocles, he’ll stay in line, ribbit.”
“I just wish it didn’t have to be that way,” said Uraraka.
Louis stopped by with a white cardboard box in his hands. “Hey Midoriya, someone from UA bought a cake for you.”
“But we didn’t ask for any…”
Suddenly, Midoriya’s nose turned up at a weird smell, almost like motor oil, when she realized…
“IT’S A BOMB!”
Deko jumped over the table and tackled Louis, causing him to drop the box. When it hit the ground, it ripped open, revealing that yes, indeed, there was a bomb concealed in a phony cake. A number of students fled for the door screaming, except for Todoroki, who ran over to where Deko and the girls were.
“Where’s the bomb?” asked Todoroki.
“Over there!”
Deko pointed to the cake bomb on the ground, and Todoroki used his ice to freeze the bomb and render it inert.
“Wow Todoroki, how did you know to do that?” said Uraraka.
“I saw a documentary on bomb squads. There was this one for the London Metropolitan Police Department that used a special robot that could inject bombs with liquid nitrogen.”
Tsu put her index finger up to her chin. “That’s impressive, ribbit.”
Louis got to his feet. “Midoriya, Todoroki, I don’t know how to thank you. I really shoulda thought twice about that cake. I’ll hand it over to the Council for analysis.”
“Right.”
===
No further accidents occurred to Deko, Todoroki or any of the other UA students that day. After classes, the UA Six met with their supernatural compatriots – plus Chanelle – on an obscure corner of the quad. Deko informed everyone of Jiro’s intelligence.
“Sounds like we might have a tough time beating this guy,” said Uraraka.
“Regenbogen doesn’t sound too tough,” said Todoroki. “Judging by what I know about metal, a well-aimed Flashfreeze Heatwave should take care of him.”
Brax gave a thumbs up. “Great idea, Todoroki. I like your thinking!”
“But what about the rest of the JDR?” asked Terra. “We don’t even know anything about them.”
“We’ll find out somehow,” said Deko. “Keep in mind that pro heroes have some of their own going undercover to…”
Just then, a shot rang out and just barely missed Deko.
“WATCH OUT!”
The students dodged out of the way while machine gun fire tried to cut them down. After getting into cover, the students made an effort to determine where the gunfire was coming from. Deko tapped Todoroki on the shoulder and pointed to a group of bushes that rustled a bit and held up three fingers, indicating that there were three gunmen. Todoroki nodded and drew his Model 29. He then proceeded to ice surf out of cover.
“HEY, I’M UP HERE, YOU NAZI ASSHOLES! COME AT ME!”
Todoroki managed to draw the attention of the gunmen, who turned out to be about as good shots as the average stormtrooper. With the shooters focusing on him, the other students came out of cover and used their powers against them. They managed to destroy the gunmen’s cover, but the gunmen themselves – essentially werewolves wearing SS uniforms and wielding MP40 submachine guns – proved to be rather tough customers. They tried focusing on as many students as they could, but Todoroki used this opportunity to freeze them in place, leaving only their heads uncovered. All the students moved in to surround them.
“All right, whoever you are, talk: how did you find this place, and who’s the mole you sent here!?” said Deko.
“Go to Hell, Schweinhundchen!” said the head werewolf.
“You first,” said Todoroki. “Unless you’d rather warm up?”
“We’ll never talk!” said another werewolf.
“Will you? This .44 Magnum is not only one of the most powerful handguns in the world, but it’s loaded with special silver core bullets. You have no chance to survive.”
“OK, we’ll talk!” said the head werewolf. “The League of Villains got into contact with one of the students here and told her to report all of your activities back to them!”
“Who?”
“Her name is Shan! I swear to you, I’m telling the truth!”
Todoroki looked over at Deko, who nodded. He then focused his attention back on the JDR man.
“Very well, we’ll let you live,” said Todoroki. “Don’t expect the council to be so merciful towards you.”
Speaking of the Council, some of their Enforcers moved in to apprehend the Nazis, and Lienda and Louis came to see what was going on.
“How did these men get here!?” said Lienda. “Jessa, Mischa, are you OK?”
Jessa nodded. “We’re fine, Mom.”
“Yeah. Midoriya and her friends were a real help, too!” said Mischa.
Lienda turned towards Deko. “Well, we owe you our sincere thanks!”
Deko smiled. “You’re welcome! Actually, we have some information about the Japanisch-Deutsches Reichskommissariat.”
“Tell us more,” said Louis.
“The mole they have is a girl in this school by the name of Shan.”
“That rotten harpy!” said Jessa. “I knew she was up to no good, but this…”
“Then no doubt Opal is in cahoots with them as well!” said Mischa.
“We’ll deal with them accordingly,” said Lienda. “Midoriya, you and your friends go about your classes in the meantime, and don’t do anything unnecessary, OK?”
Deko nodded. “Right!”
Louis smiled. “Oh, and sorry about the cake earlier!”
Deko smiled. “It’s OK, Louis; you didn’t know! Besides, Todoroki saved people’s lives today!”
Deko gave Todoroki a big hug and kiss, which he gladly returned. After they broke away, Todoroki felt someone tap him on the shoulder.
“IcyHot…” said Kacchan.
“Yes, Bakugo?”
“WHY THE CRAP DO YA HAVE A GUN ON SCHOOL PROPERTY!? AND HOW THE CRAP DID YA GET IT PAST AIRPORT SECURITY!?”
“I have my ways.”
Kacchan let out an angry growl. Even after all this time of being a UA student, he would never understand his classmates.
