Chapter Text
“So?”
Izuku looked up, confused. He was sitting in Madam President's office looking over some assignments.
“So what?”
“How is U.A, anything to report on it.”
Oh yeah, he forgot that he was being used as a snitch. He let out a mental sigh, this was going to be a long school year.
“It was ok. Although I'm not too sure as to why they let All Might teach there, from what I can see he has no teaching experience.”
Izuku could see Madam President's eyes sparkle with some sort of weird need for more information. Geez were these people going to lay off him.
“Is that so? Well maybe there's a different reason as to why he is there.”
Izuku knew based on the way that she said that Madam President wanted him to get more information, he was going to but she could just ask instead of playing these weird mind games.
“You are dismissed, Pyromancer.”
Izuku nodded and quickly left the room. Once back in his room, he got to work on his homework and the assignment that Madam President wanted him to do. It wasn't a lot of work but he was still a bit tired afterwards, the long day of social interaction had caught up to him.
The next morning, he woke up to his alarm like normal. He got himself cleaned up and got his school uniform out. He stopped at the mirror and looked in. Looking at his bare body, he could clearly see his scars.
He gently touched one that ran across his shoulder. He remembered getting it, getting all of them.

“PYROMANCER!!”
He painfully sat up, choking back a sob as Keigo ran over to him. He touched his shoulder, feeling the wetness of the blood.
He was dragged to the med station and quickly patched up, then sent right back into the training room.
The trainer had put him and Keigo against each other. While fighting, Izuku misstepped and Keigo's feather sliced through his shoulder. The wound was deep and took some time for the doctor's healing quirk to fix.
That night he wasn't given dessert or any free time, it was a punishment for messing up. The remainder, a thin scar along his shoulder.

Jumping from obstacle to obstacle, he was quick. He knew his body was small and thin which allowed him to move quickly and make sharp and sudden turns.
He was up against some robots, ones that the Commission had made for his training.
As he maneuvered through the training room that had been set up to mimic a dense city, the robots followed. He turned to see how far they were and saw that one had a weapon.
This caused him to lose his footing. He was told that the robots wouldn't have any weapons. He felt the pain as he was hit in the back. He managed to tuck and roll as he hit the ground.
The training session was called off as he lost consciousness.
When he woke, he was in the med bay. His back was heavily scarred and he was in trouble. He had messed up again.
This time he wasn't allowed to spend time with Keigo besides training for a week.
___
Unlike Keigo, he kept his scars. He absolutely refused to have any surgeries to have them removed. Keigo was insecure, Izuku knew that, that's why he always got scars fixed whenever they happened, stretch marks removed as they appeared, acne and pimples fixed as they showed, used all sorts of skin products to keep his appearance perfect and young.
It was because of the Commission, how they talked about heroes needing to be perfect, being greater then life, being the best and to Keigo that translated into physical appearance as well.

“Hey Izuku.”
He looked up from his thoughts, Iida was walking over to him.
“Oh, hey Iida.”
“You ok? You seem a little distant.”
“Oh don't worry about it. Just thinking.”
It wasn't technically a lie, but he didn't want to worry his classmate with his issues. He saw Iida nod and he turned and looked out the bus window.
Once the bus stopped, everyone filed out. The USJ, a massive training facility for rescue. Izuku had been there before, the place was good for more serious rescue training.
Standing at the front was the rescue hero Thirteen. Once everyone walked into the building, Thirteen started to explain how quirks can be dangerous. Izuku had heard it all before but listened anyway.
Bakugou was silently complaining about how boring it was and Izuku elbowed him in the ribs to shut him up.
Suddenly a black mist formed over the fountain. That wasn't part of the training.
Izuku and Aizawa got into fighting positions instantly as a bunch of Villains stepped out of the mist. The other students started to back up.
“Everyone stay back, these are real villains.”
Izuku rolled his eyes, like hell he's going to stay out of it. Aizawa looked at him and nodded.
“You have experience so you can fight but you stay at the backlines.”
Izuku nodded. He wasn't experienced enough to properly fight, nor did he have a licence so he was just last defense.
Aizawa started fight the villains as more figures stepped through the mist. One was a scrawny guy that had grey hands over his body, another was a man in smart clothing and made of black mist, so was the one making the mist portals and the last one was a massive…creature.
The thing had black skin, bulging eyes and it's brain exposed. Definitely not human, or not anymore.
Izuku knew this wasn't right, there were too many villains and only two licensed heroes. One being a rescue hero and one who was best with one on one combat. He reach down and grabbed the red feather that hung from his necklace. He gave it light squeezes and pulls, slowly getting a Morse code sentence out.
He just hoped Keigo was right about being able to feel each of his feathers.
__
It wasn't looking good. Several of his classmates had been portaled across the facility, Thirteen was down and Aizawa was getting exhausted. Izuku was helping as best he could.
He used his fire to make shields and walls to help Aizawa. Occasionally roping together some villains for the underground hero to knock out.
The scrawny hand man seemed to be getting upset. He pointed to Aizawa and the large creature attacked him. Izuku tired to stop it but it was far too strong and broke through his fire.
Aizawa was on the floor when the doors broke open and the teachers of U.A walked in. Standing in front is All Might. The scrawny hand man seemed to be excited with that and the creature, which appeared to be called nomu, went to attack the number one.
While All Might fought the nomu thing, the other teachers went around helping the students and taking down the villains. Izuku got up and helped Aizawa to his feet and away from the fighting.
As he got out of the facility, he saw the place was swarmed with police and medical professionals, who were looking over the students. Izuku gor Aizawa to one of these professionals and then walked up to one of the officers. A man he recognized as Tsukauchi Naomasa, a detective.
“Detective Naomasa.”
The detective looked over at him and walked over.
“Hey kid, you must be Midoriya. Hawks said you tow go way back.”
“Yes sir. I'm the one who sent the message, and I'm glad that it got through to Hawks.”
“Yes, we are glad too. You should go get checked up, you're bleeding abit.”
The detective tapped the side of his head and Izuku touch his with his hand. Pulling it away he saw a bit of blood. He nodded at the detective and walked over to one of the medical people to get patched up.
