My Anti-Hero Academia

When Jason Todd dies, he is given a choice. Life or Death, Peace or Chaos. Armed with a Quirk and friends he will do everything he can to keep his new life; even become an Anti-Hero, Vigilante, or Villain.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

AN: I don't own Red Hood, My Hero Academia, Ghost Rider, X-Men, or Frozen. They belong to their respective owners.

AN: I wrote the voice Jason talks to with Steve Buscemi in mind.

"This story is about how I became the greatest hero ever, but it is also about the friend who helped me become the greatest hero. Before I was born people began developing abilities called Quirks. 80% of the population has one, while 20% doesn't. I was born without a quirk. You are probably wondering how I was able to become the greatest hero then. This story starts years ago, before I was born actually. In a world outside our universe."

The crowbar came down and struck him. It hurt, but not like the first ten times. The pain was beginning to dull, not by much though. The crowbar struck again. It was as if the madman was reading his thoughts and began hitting him harder.

Then the Joker hit him in the face. "WOW. That looked like it really hurt." Then the Joker hit him three more times and savored every hit like it was a cheese sample. "Whoa, now hold on. That looked like it hurt a lot more. So, let's try and clear it up shall we pumpkin. What hurts more? A?" The Joker hit him again. "Or B?" And he was hit a second time by the Joker. "Forehand?" The Joker hit him a third time. "Or backhand." The Joker hit him again and began laughing his sadistic laugh.

Jason murmured something. The Joker leaned down and said. "A little louder lamb chop. I think that one of your lungs is collapsed. That tends to always impede the oratory." Jason spit blood up at the Joker. The Joker returned the favor by slamming his face into the floor. "Now that was rude. The first boy blunder had manners." Jason smiled even though it hurt. The Joker wiped the blood off his face. "I suppose that I'll have to teach you some manners. So that you can learn to follow in his footsteps better." The Joker contemplated that for a bit. Then said. "Nah... I think that I'll just keep hitting you with this crowbar." Then the Joker laughed as he hit Jason repeatedly with the crowbar. Jason closed his eyes, wishing he were somewhere else.

After a while the Joker got tired of beating Jason with the crowbar; he put on his overcoat and his hat. He looked at Jason and said. "Okay kiddo I have to go, but it was fun right?" Jason stayed silent. "Well maybe a bit more fun for me than you. I'm just making guesses since your being so quiet. Oh well. Be a good boy, get your homework done, and be in bed by nine. Oh, and if you see the big man tell him I said... hello. The Joker began laughing hysterically and left.

Jason opened his eyes and got to his knees. He slid his handcuffed hands under his legs, so they were in front of him and he tried to stand but fell back down, he looked at the door and figured that it was locked. He crawled towards it and when he got to it was indeed locked. Jason closed his eyes, and he heard it a faint beeping. he looked to his left and saw a bomb. Of course, the Joker planted a bomb. Why wouldn't he? Jason saw it counting down and he knew that he didn't have long.

He crawled to a box he used all of his strength to stand only to fall back down he caught the box and it tipped over on him it was big enough for him to fit under. It was a freaking miracle. He fumbled with his utility belt and found a pellet. It had foam in it. He crushed it and he was enveloped in foam. A few seconds later, he felt the explosion.

As Batman searched the wreckage that was once a building, he found a limp body. He picked it up and wrapped it in his cape. "Jason." Batman said. That was the last thing Jason heard before he went to sleep not expecting to wake up.

Jason was floating in blackness. "Where am I?"

"Well." A voice said from the blackness. "Who have we here?"

"My name is Jason. Jason Todd."

"Well Jason Todd. The reason you are here is because I need your help?"

"You're kidding right? I just died; how can I help you?"

"You can make a choice."

"What choice?"

"Do you want another chance at life? Or do you want to stay dead?"

"I want a chance to live."

"Excellent. I will need to make a Quirk for you seeing as you don't have one, and you will need a team."

"What?"

"Yes. A team. You need a team. Three more should be sufficient."

"I don't understand."

"Here. Pick one." The voice said.

Three boxes appeared in front of Jason.

The first box was black, the second box was red, and the third box was both black and red.

Jason tapped the third box.

"Oh. An excellent choice. Now hold on. This might sting a bit."

Jason felt his entire body change. "What did you do to me!?"

"I gave you your Quirk. Now. The way it works is very simple. You think of an object, and it's summoned to you. You can use it for as long as you want to, or as long as you need it."

"What's the catch?"

"Oh. Nothing really. It's just. The more you use it, the more humanity you lose. It's not much of a catch."

"WHAT!"

"Don't worry. As soon as you are done using it, you'll gain your humanity back. You have nothing to worry about."

"What happens when I use all of my humanity?"

"Oh. You become a berserker who can't be calmed down, and who will destroy the world."

"Then I won't use it. I have my natural skill that I can rely on."

"Yes, yes. Of course. Now. Onto your team. One of your teammates will be of my choosing. You can choose the other two."

"Who are you choosing?"

"One of my bounty hunters. He will be there to help you, and kill you should the need arise, if you commit genocide or something like that. Other than that, he's your friend, and will help you to the best of his abilities."

"Why would I commit genocide?"

"Why does anyone do anything?"

"Where are my other choices for teammates?"

The man behind the voice snapped his fingers and Lights flickered on.

Jason looked around and saw rows of people. "You treat people like shopping supplies!"

"What? No! They are waiting to be reborn. For their second chance as it were."

"Okay." Jason floated through the rows for hours until he spotted a girl with red hair and a white streak. "What's her story?"

"Ah yes. She has flight, super strength, the ability to make stuff blow up, and she can take other people's Quirks. The longer she holds on, the more of the Quirk she takes. If she holds on too long, she takes their Quirk and puts them in a coma."

"Okay. I'll add her to my team. She probably hasn't had many friends, and people were probably afraid of her. So, I'll be her friend."

"An excellent choice. Now. Who's your next pick?"

Jason walked around until he saw a girl a few years older than him. "What about her?"

"He Quirk is ice based. When she was eight years old, she hurt her five-year-old sister and locked herself away for 13 years until she became Queen of her town in Norway. She learned to control her powers through love, and then because of love she sacrificed herself to bring unity to her kingdom."

"She looks so... sad."

"Yeah. Dying will do that to you."

"Add her to my team."

"Okay. So, we've got two hotheads, an ice Queen, and a girl who can't touch anyone or she could kill them."

"Is that it?"

"Nope." The disembodied voice said. "This is."

Jason felt pressure behind his eyes before passing out.

"Jason," A comforting female voice said. "Jason sweetheart. It's time to get up."

Jason opened his eyes and saw a woman. She looked familiar.

"Come on Jason. It's almost time to go to school."

Jason took a bath, ate breakfast, and walked to school with the woman. She was his mom in this world, but why did she look so familiar.

"Good morning Sheila," A slight woman with forest green hair and eyes that shined said.

"Good morning Inko," Sheila said back.

It was his biological mom from the previous life. He'd been given a second chance with her.

When they got to his school, he hugged her tightly and went into class. He sat down and his hands started itching. He scratched them.

"Okay." The teacher said, Jason couldn't remember her name. "Everyone grab your safety scissors."

Jason reached for his safety scissors, but a pair of black and red scissors appeared in his hands. They weren't hot, but they startled him for a second.

"Congratulations Todd," The teacher said coming up to him. "You have gotten your Quirk. May I see them?"

Jason handed the teacher the scissors.

"Ouch!" The teacher said when she touched them.

Jason looked at her hand and saw burned skin. "I'm sorry." He said picking up the scissors.

"Don't worry Todd," The teacher said. "You have a great Quirk."

Jason looked at the scissors. Why was he able to use them, and no one else?

He saw a kid with messy green hair who looked sad. So, he went over to him.

"Hi. My name is Jason Todd. What's your name?"

The kid looked around himself; seeing no one else around he asked: "Me?"

"Yes, you."

"Midoriya Izuku."

"Why are you sad Midoriya?"

"I don't have a Quirk. Yours is so cool."

"You'll get your Quirk someday."

"Deku is Quirkless," An annoying voice said from behind Jason. "He's almost five and hasn't gotten his Quirk yet, which means he won't get a Quirk!"

"How do you know?" Jason asked turning to face the kid. "For all you know he's just a late bloomer or maybe his body just can't handle his Quirk yet."

"Because. He can't possibly have a quirk. He's too weak?"

"Do you have a quirk?" Jason asked the explosive kid. What was his name?

"Yeah!" The kid created explosions in his hands

Jason grabbed the kid's wrist, he'd done this in the alternate universe, but his body was so small that he didn't know if he could do it. He spun and flipped the kid. "Don't think you're better than anyone because you have a flashy Quirk."

Jason turned back to Midoriya when he heard popping. He turned back to the kid and saw that he was creating explosions with his hands.

"I'll make you pay for that," The kid said.

Jason created twin batarangs.

"BOYS!" Their teacher yelled.

Jason looked at the teacher.

"It's great that you both have your Quirks, but no fighting in class."

Jason dropped the batarangs and they disappeared.

The rest of the day was quiet, and eventually it was time to head home.

After school Jason and Izuku were walking when the hairs on the back of Jason's neck stood up, and he shoved Izuku out of the way.

A fireball hit his arm.

"I'll teach you to do that to me!" The explosion kid yelled.

Jason looked at his arm, there was some soot, but other than that he was fine.

The kid sneered. "Do you think that you're better than me because my Quirk can't hurt you?!"

"Hey!" A kid with blond hair and blue eyes said. "What's going on here?"

"I'll make you pay," The explosive kid said.

Jason looked at the blond and felt a connection to him. "Are you one of the ones that voice said would help me?" He asked the kid.

"Yeah. Johnny Blaze," The kid said offering his hand. "The others are over there."

Jason looked towards the others and saw two girls. One had white blond hair, and the other had auburn hair with a white streak.

"Don't ignore me!" The kid yelled.

"Katsuki!" A female voice said. "You got your Quirk. Come tell me about it."

Katsuki ran to the voice.

Jason looked at Izuku and saw that he had skinned his knee when Jason pushed him.

"Midoriya! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you so hard. Here. Let's take you to my mom. Her Quirk is a healing Quirk called 'Augment'. It Augments the person's body to heal itself."

Johnny helped put Midoriya on Jason's back, and they walked to Sheila Todd.

"So how is my body able to do this?" Jason asked Johnny.

"You still have your memories from your previous life, including muscle memory, you're just stuck in a 4-year old's body." Johnny said.

Jason thought about that. Is that why he wasn't acting like a four-year-old?

The two girls joined him, and they made their way to Sheila Todd.

"Hi Jason," Sheila said. "Are these your friends?"

"Yeah. This is Midoriya. He skinned his knees, can you heal him?"

Sheila looked at Izuku's skinned knees. "I sure can." She said waving her hand over Izuku's knees.

"The pain stopped!" Izuku said. "Thank you," He bowed four or five times in a row. "Can I ask you about your Quirk? Like, does it heal using your body or my body? How much can you heal before needing a break? How much can you heal?"

"You're very welcome," Sheila said. "My Quirk uses Ultraviolet Light that my body stores to heal others. I can absorb the energy during the day and can use it at night. When I'm at the hospital for long shifts I sometimes have to stand under an Ultraviolet Light on my break. It really depends on the injury. I could probably heal more than one hundred skinned knees, or twenty broken bones, or two severe burn victims, or one person in a body cast. I can't heal someone who has passed away, and my body has a natural healing factor, but I couldn't heal myself or cure myself of Cancer or something."

"WOW!" Izuku said.

"Who is everyone else?" Sheila asked. "Do you have your Quirks?"

"I'm Johnny," Johnny said. "Yes, I have my Quirk."

"I'm Elsa," The girl with the white blond hair said. "And I have my Quirk."

"I'm Anna Marie Darkhölme," The girl with red hair and the white streak. "And I have a Quirk too."

"It's nice to meet such nice children. Oh, Jason. Your teacher called and said that you got your Quirk. What is it?"

Jason created a flower and gave it to his mom.

"It's love- OUCH!" Sheila said dropping the flower. She looked at her hand and saw a second degree burn on her fingers.

"I'm sorry mom," Jason said.

"Oh no. It's fine Jason," Sheila said watching her hand heal the burns. "You have a good Quirk; you just have to learn how to control it. What are your Quirks?"

"This is mine," Johnny said changing from his normal look to a fiery skeleton. "I don't know the extent of this, but I can't wait to find out what I can do." He said in a demonic voice.

"Wow. What a... fascinating Quirk," Sheila said.

"I can create ice," Elsa said creating an ice flower for Sheila.

"It's lovely," Sheila said, taking the flower.

"I can borrow other people's Quirks," Anna Marie said, touching Jason on the neck and creating a flower as well and giving it to Jason.

Jason took it, and it didn't burn him.

"I can also fly, and I'm super strong. I can also make stuff blow up."

"Wow. You're very talented, aren't you?"

"Yeah. I got the strength and flight because I drained another superhero of her powers. I got the ability to blow stuff up from my..."

Johnny stomped on her foot.

"Ouch. What was that for?"

"She's kidding about that," Johnny said. "She's just really talented is all. She got the Quirk jackpot because of her mom."

"Okay," Sheila said thinking it was just kids being kids.

"Can we go to the park?" Jason asked thinking it's what a kid his age should say.

"You'd have to ask their parents."

Johnny, Elsa, and Anna Marie went to find their parents.

The slight woman with forest green hair and eyes that shined walked up to them. "Hello Sheila, hello Jason." She waved with a smile that seemed to light up the world.

"Hi Midoriya San," Jason bowed. "Can Izuku come play at the park?"

Inko looked shocked. "I-I guess so." She said shocked at Jason being so vocal now after almost a year of silence. Maybe it was because he was getting used to Japan?"

The others came back with their parents.

"Hi," A woman said to Sheila. "My name is Clara Blaze. Johnny says that he wants to go to the park with a friend from school."

"Hi," Sheila said. "My name is Sheila Haywood. This is my son Jason." She motioned at Jason who smiled and waved.

"My name is Raven Darkhölme," A pale woman with blue eyes and black hair walked up. "My daughter is Anna Marie."

Jason must have been imagining things when he saw the looks his mom and Raven were giving each other, right?

"Hello," A couple said in unison. The man had flushed, fair skin with freckles and red hair with a matching mustache. His eyes were a shade of pale blue that made him more trustworthy somehow. The woman beside him was short and had auburn hair with fair skin and flushed cheeks. She also had freckles and her eyes were the deepest blue that you could drown, just by looking into them. "My name is Agnarr, and this is my wife Iduna. Elsa is our daughter, and this is our 2nd daughter Anna." He said pointing at a small child in Iduna's arms.

"Pleased to meet you," Sheila said. "As I said my name is Sheila Haywood, and this is my son Jason. He wanted to go to the park with his new friends today."

The group agreed and made their way to the park.

When they got to the park the kids ran off to play while the adults stayed and talked. The kids played until Izuku got tired and ran to the adults. He sat next to Anna who was playing on a blanket playing with some toys. She handed him one, and they played while the adults talked.

"So," Jason said. "Who are you guys and what are your Quirks?"

"My name is Rouge," Anna Marie said. "My "Quirk" is Absorption. I absorb strength, memories, super powers, etc. from whoever I touch. I have better control of it than I did so I can take specific things that I want. I did take someone's strength and flight powers, and I took my ex's ability to blow stuff up."

"Cool," Jason said. "What about you?" He asked Elsa.

"My name is Elsa Martin. I have ice magic that I had to learn how to control through love. I have okay control now, but I'm afraid that I might hurt my sister. What happens if I lose control again?"

"Can we help, hon?" Rouge asked with an accent that wasn't there a second ago.

"I don't know."

"I can take your powers for a bit when they get to be too much?"

"Thanks."

"You're welcome sugar."

"My name is Johnny Blaze. I am bound to the spirit of Vengeance, Zarathos, which grants me an abundance of abilities. I can't die, by normal means, I turn into the flaming skeleton, and I can't be hurt by anything other than spiritual or blessed objects to name a few."

"Wow. That's amazing," Jason said. "My name is Jason Peter Todd. As of yesterday, I was a 15-year-old kid who didn't like being held back from taking out the bad guys. They were bad guys. They won't listen, they won't become rehabilitated by going to prison, you need to strike hard and fast and take them out so they can't become a bigger problem."

"So, what happened?" Johnny asked.

"A bastard beat me to death with a crowbar and killed me. Now I'm here."

Johnny looked vengeful. Elsa looked horrified. Rouge looked pissed off.

"So, what do you bring to the table?" Johnny asked after he calmed down a little.

"As far as I can tell I'm stronger, faster, and more agile than I was in the past life. I can do things that a normal four-year-old can't do. I also know how to fight, my fighting style is aggressive, and brutal. As for my Quirk. I can create objects out of thin air, but only I can touch them."

"Sounds like 'Hellfire Creation'," Johnny said.

"What's that?" Rouge asked.

"The user can create objects out of fire and brimstone and only they or people with similar powers can use them."

All of the sudden the ground began shaking.

While the kids talked, so did the adults. Agnarr held Anna while Iduna set out a blanket and toys before Agnarr set Anna on the blanket.

"So, Raven," Sheila asked. "What's your Quirk?"

"Oh. My Quirk is 'shapeshifting'. I can turn into different people and the such, I don't gain their full power or anything, just enough to be convincing. Anna Marie's Quirk is 'Absorption'."

"That can be a dangerous Quirk though," Agnarr said.

"It can be, but I'm teaching her to control it as best I can."

"Is her father in the picture?" Iduna asked.

"No," Raven sighed. "He's Quirkless, and was abusive towards Anna Marie."

"That's terrible!" Sheila said.

"Yeah, but what are you going to do about it? I kicked him out when I found out. I called the cops after I calmed down and realized what I'd done."

"My Quirk is 'Augment'," Sheila said. "I hope you don't mind Inko, but Izuku skinned his knees at school. I healed him."

"Oh. Thank you," Inko said. "My name is Midoriya Inko. Midoriya Izuku is my son. My Quirk is the ability to draw small objects towards me. It's called 'Attraction'."

Izuku came back and began playing with Anna.

Sheila looked at Agnarr and Iduna. "You're Elsa's parents, right?"

"Yes. My name is Agnarr, and this is my wife Iduna. My Quirk is I can control the wind, and Iduna can control fire, Elsa can control Ice. We are hoping that Anna can control water or earth."

"Why one of those?" Sheila asked.

"My family has had elemental Quirks for generations. My great, great grandfather had a lightning Quirk."

"Okay."

"You're Johnny's mother," Sheila asked a woman with blonde hair.

"Yes. My name is Clara, I'm afraid my Quirk is actually very dangerous. I secrete acid through my saliva. I'm naturally immune to it, but my husband isn't, and Johnny's quirk keeps him safe."

"What is your husbands Quirk?" Sheila asked.

"He's a Technopath. He is really good with technology, and we own the bike shop on main street."

"Okay..." Sheila was interrupted by the ground shaking.

Izuku looked over and saw his friends, and watched in amazement and horror as he saw who they were.

Jason was wearing a red and black suit with mask covering his eyes, yellow R over his heart, and utility belt on his waist.

Elsa was wearing a dress that dragged the floor, and glittered in the sunlight, her hair was in a braid that went down her back, and a pair of heels.

Rouge wore a yellow, and green jumpsuit with an X on the belt. She wore a brown Jacket, and the whole top of her hair was white with the majority of it auburn.

Johnny wore a black motorcycle jacket with spikes on the shoulders and wrists. A pair of blue jeans, and black motorcycle boots. He had a chain that went from his left shoulder to his right hip, and a shotgun from his right shoulder to left hip.

"Whoa," Midoriya said in awe.

The ground erupted in a plume of dirt, grass, trees, and playground equipment.

Jason spun around and saw a giant worm.

"Fear me!" The villain yelled.

Jason thought of the batarangs and they appeared in his hands.

He looked over and saw Rouge, Elsa, and Johnny in similar battle stances.

"Elsa. Can you freeze him so we can hit him?"

"I can try."

"Johnny. What do you need?"

"Got a chain?"

Jason thought of a chain whip, and one appeared. "Here you go."

"Thanks," Johnny said taking the chain.

"Can I borrow some of your power?" Rouge said.

Jason put his hand out for her to slap.

She did, and he saw her make a deck of cards. "First we charge the card," She said. "Then. We throw it," She threw the card at the worm villain.

"Let's move," Jason said.

Jason forgot that he was a four-year-old, because he ran out of energy after a few seconds. He looked over at the others and saw that they were the same way.

"JASON!" Sheila yelled.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" A loud booming voice laughed. "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

"All Might!" Midoriya and Sheila yelled in unison.

"Don't worry! Why? Because I am here!"

Jason watched as a Hero he'd seen many times on TV was now standing in front of him. He was amazed by his power. He could feel it from here.

"You'll make a fine hero one day young man," All Might said to Jason. "You all will, but until then. Leave this to the professionals. NEVADA! SMASH!" All Might yelled punching the worm Villain away."

Why was Jason getting so excited? He'd met Superman in his previous life, so why was he all giddy all of the sudden.

"JASON TODD!" Sheila yelled. "What was the meaning of running out like that? I couldn't stand it if I lost you." She said wrapping him in a hug.

"I don't know," Jason said. "I just had this feeling to keep everyone safe."

"And that is what makes a true hero," All might said coming up to them. "Each hero says that they had a defining moment where their legs moved on their own, keep up the good work, and you will be a hero someday."

Jason looked up at All Might in awe. 'Wait. What am I doing? He's just like Superman, right? I wouldn't act like this around Superman. Why am I acting like this around All Might?'

All Might jumped into the air and he was gone.

The group went their separate ways.

One year later.

Jason ran as hard and as fast as he could. He had to get to Izuku's apartment fast.

He knocked on the door of their apartment.

Inko opened the door. "Hello Jason," She sighed a heavy sigh.

"Did Izuku find out?"

"You can ask him yourself," She moved out of the way.

Jason went to the computer room and saw Izuku watching the same video they had grown to love over the past year. "Izuku?"

Midoriya turned around with tears in his eyes. He pointed at the screen and asked in a broken voice. "Can I still become a hero... without a Quirk?"

Jason felt like someone had kicked him in the gut. He got his breathing under control. He'd been a Hero without a Quirk, Izuku could too. "Yes," He said firmly. "Yes. You can still be a hero."

Midoriya's face lit up. "Really?"

"Yes. I can help train you to become strong. You don't need a Quirk to be a hero."

"Really?"

"Really."

It had been quite for a while, and Inko went to check on the boys. When she opened the door to the computer room, she was shocked. Izuku wasn't crying. Instead he was exercising.

"Nine... huff, huff... ten." Izuku said dropping.

"That was good," Jason said. "Next is sit-ups." Jason got into a sit-up position and started with those.

After he did ten, Izuku followed.

Jason did several exercises and showed Izuku how to do them. It brought a smile to Inko's face. Jason was a good friend.

"If you do these every day," Jason said. "You can become a hero."

AN: Nevada Smash and the Worm Villain was a reference to the Tremors movies.

Chapter 2: One Bad Day

Summary:

It had started out as such a good day, but then it seems like just one bad thing after another happens, and Jason might become a villain before he can even enter U.A.

Chapter Text

AN: I don't own any of the characters used in this story. I do have some My Hero Academia merchandise though, but that's about it.

AN: I made every character added to the My Hero Academia happy. Jason had his mother; Johnny had the family that Crash, and Mona had fabricated for him hoping that it would be less painful than the truth that his mother abandoned him. Rouge had a mother who genuinely loved her for who she was and not what she could do. And Anna and Elsa had their Family who loved them and cared for them. Enjoy.

Izuku Midoriya stood protectively in front of a Quirkless kid that Bakugo and his friends were antagonizing. "L-leave him alone," Izuku said, his arms out in front of him in an attempt to keep Bakugo and his friends from attacking the kid.

"Look who it is!" Bakugo snarled, creating an explosion to punctuate the air. "Little Quirkless Deku!"

"And us." A voice said from behind them before vaulting over them to stand next to Izuku.

"Todd!" Bakugo snarled.

"Present." Jason winked at Bakugo.

"Don't forget about me." A flaming Skeleton on a flaming Tricycle drifted around Jason before making doughnuts around the group.

"Or me." Rouge said landing beside Izuku.

"Don't forget about us." Elsa said pulling Anna along in a wagon and stopping beside Rogue.

Bakugo and his friends saw they were at a disadvantage and turned tail and ran.

"Thanks." Izuku said. "I don't like having to rely on you guys to stop Kacchan."

"Don't worry about it." Jason said putting his hand on Midoriya's shoulder. "That's what friends are for, and Bakugo isn't a friend, so don't call him Kacchan."

They started talking to the kid that Bakugo was bullying, helped him up, and made sure that he was okay before walking him home.

Nine years later.

Izuku was running through the city towards Aldera Junior High. He had heard that there was a fight with a villain, and he wanted to see it, and now he was running late for school.

"Hey Izuku!" A familiar voice yelled. "Need a ride?"

"Johnny?" Izuku asked.

"Yeah. Jason said that you might need a ride when he saw the Villain fight on the news."

"Thanks."

"No problem. Hop on." Johnny said, handing Izuku his helmet.

Izuku got onto the back of Johnny's custom-built motorcycle, put on the helmet, and they headed for school.

They got to homeroom just as the bell rang and sat down with their friends.

"Glad you made it." Jason said.

"Thanks for sending Johnny. I wouldn't have made it if you hadn't."

"Don't worry about it. That's what friends are for."

"Yeah." Anna said. "Isn't this great. After next year we get to go to U.A."

"Ha." Bakugo laughed. "You. Go to the U.A.? Don't make me laugh. You are three years younger than everyone else. What makes you think that you could go to U.A.?"

"She's three years younger." Rouge said. "Because she's smarter than you and her Quirk has you beaten."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!" Bakugo demanded with an explosions. "You think someone younger than me is better than me! I'll kill you all!"

"Oh! Why don't you splash some water in your face to cool off!" Anna waved her hand and water slapped Bakugo in the face before landing in the crotch of his pants.

"Dude!" Johnny yelled. "You wet your pants!"

The class turned to Bakugo who turned beet red.

Getting up, his hands popping with explosions. Bakugo lunged at Anna. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT YOU DAMN BRAT!!!!!"

Jason was up and, in his face, before he'd even taken one step, and his hand was pressed up against his chest. "Back! off!" He growled. "You brought this on yourself. Maybe if you weren't such an ass all the time then maybe you wouldn't get treated like one."

"Boy's!" The teacher, Kanzanibu Sensei, yelled to get their attention.

Bakugo backed away to show a handprint in his clothes where Jason's hand had been. "You'll pay for that!" He growled.

"Who's going to make me?" Jason asked. "Cause I know for sure that it won't be you." He stomped his foot at Bakugo.

Bakugo ground his teeth together so hard that Jason thought he was going to break them.

"Whoa, whoa." Johnny said. "Chill out. Take a chill pill. If you don't have a chill pill take a chill strip, put it on your tongue, let it dissolve... chill. Or ya know. Just ask Elsa."

Bakugo glared at him.

"Bakugo. Todd." Kanzanibu Sensei said. "Sit down."

Jason and Bakugo sat down.

"Now." Kanzanibu Sensei said. "I'll pass our plans for the future..." he grabbed the papers and threw them behind him. "No need. You all are going into the hero courses."

The class, apart from Jason, Johnny, Rouge, Elsa, Anna, Midoriya, and Bakugo, burst into shouts of joy and laughter, and began showing off their quirks.

"Hey!" Bakugo said with a Cheshire Cat grin. "Don't lump me in with these other extras! I'm the only one here with any kind of potential!"

"Oh yes." Kanzanibu Sensei said. "You are going to U.A. High."

Bakugo vaulted onto his desk. "That's right! I'm going to U.A.! And I'm going to surpass All Might as the Number One Hero!"

It took everything Jason had to keep himself from laughing.

Rouge and Johnny weren't as successful.

"You!" Johnny yelled. "Surpass All Might? Your too much of an asshole! You'd have better luck passing Endeavor if you could even surpass Hawks!"

"He's right sugar." Rouge added. "Unless you learn how to treat people the way you want to be treated then you won't surpass All Might in anything... well except maybe..."

"Enough!" Kanzanibu Sensei yelled. "Bakugo. It's good that you want to go to U.A., but don't let your ambitions consume you."

"Don't forget that we are going to U.A. Too." Jason said.

"Oh yes." Kanzanibu Sensei said. "You, Blaze, Darkhölme, the Martin's, and... Midoriya? Is this true? Are you applying for U.A.?"

The class apart from Izuku's friends and Bakugo began laughing at him.

Izuku began blushing in embarrassment as his class laughed at him.

Jason felt rage roll off Bakugo and had a second to guess his intentions... he guessed wrong.

Bakugo's eye began twitching in anger and annoyance. "Y-you! You are going to U.A.! You're Quirkless!" He yelled slamming his hand into Izuku's desk knocking him to the floor with an explosion.

Jason, Johnny, and Rouge attacked Bakugo while Elsa and Anna helped Izuku to his feet. Jason grabbed Bakugo and flipped him over his back and onto the floor face first and planted his knee into his back. "This is why you'll never surpass All Might!" He seethed. "You don't believe in anyone but yourself; you can only go so far alone, asshole!"

Bakugo began making explosions and hit the floor in front of him sending Jason off of him, over the desks, and into the wall. Leaving an outline of Jason in the wall.

Johnny grabbed Bakugo and slammed him into a desk before throwing him at Rouge who picked him up and slammed him into the floor.

"ENOUGH!" Kanzanibu Sensei roared. "TODD! BLAZE! Darkhölme! To the principal's office! NOW!"

Jason pulled himself out of the wall and landed on the floor in a three point landing. Standing, he glared at Kanzanibu Sensei for punishing them when they had reacted to Izuku being attacked.

Kanzanibu Sensei looked down and Jason felt embarrassment and fear roll off him.

"Hey hon." Rogue said, rubbing Jason's arm to ground him. No sense having him lose control and hospitalize Kanzanibu Sensei. "Just calm down. No need to lose your cool."

Jason walked to the door and slammed it open followed by Johnny and Rouge.

Anna, Elsa, and Izuku watched as their friends left for the Principals office.

On the other side of town, a robbery had been committed.

A woman screamed and activated her Dome Shield Quirk as a Sludge Villain ran past her, a cash register in his slime and money flying off of his back.

The Sludge Villain ran past a convenient store as a skinny underdeveloped man walked out with his purchases.

"Ugh." A man said. "People using their Quirks for bad. There's no end to them."

The underdeveloped man became a large well-built man with a large smile. "There is an end." He said. "Because I... am here!"

The crowd gasped as they recognize the Number One Hero.

The Sludge Villain looked at him and became anxious.

When class was over, and the students were heading home for the day Bakugo and his friends cornered Izuku and began making fun of him. Bakugo took Midoriya's notebook and taunted him.

"Hey!" Anna yelled stepping in front of Izuku and getting in Bakugo's face. "Give. It. Back."

"Shut up!" Bakugo yelled. "You aren't even supposed to be in this class. The only reason that you are is because you were somehow able to trick the teachers into thinking that you were smarter than you were. Your Quirks not even that good. How can you possibly expect to go to the U.A. If you are a weak pathetic brat like you?"

"That's enough Kacchan!" Izuku said, clenching his hand into a fist. He'd been training with Jason to become stronger over the last nine, almost ten years. He didn't look it, but he was strong. Not as strong as Jason, Johnny, or Rogue; but strong enough that he could probably take Kacchan if he needed to.

"Shut up!" Bakugo yelled hitting Izuku in the chest with his Quirk before using it to blow up his notebook and throw it out the window.

"HEY!" Elsa yelled storming up to them. "Leave Izuku and Anna alone!"

"Why should I?" Bakugo asked with a sneer. "If you're not strong enough to stop me..."

Bakugo was stopped as a fist connected with his face hard enough to drop him. "Please stop." Izuku said, panting heavily. "I don't want to fight you, but I can't stand by and let you say those things to my friends."

Bakugo rubbed his hand over his cheek and glared at Midoriya. "You'll pay for that!" He yelled.

"Hey Jason." Anna said waving at someone.

Bakugo and his friends turned around to confront Jason, but there was no one there.

When they turned around, they saw that Anna, Elsa, and Izuku were gone.

"I'll get you tomorrow!" Bakugo snarled, clenching his hands into fists.

Outside

"Are you okay Izuku?" Anna asked.

"No. I just want to be alone for a bit." Izuku said, walking away.

Anna went to follow him, but Elsa stopped her.

Izuku stopped by one of the Koi ponds and pulled his notebook out. 'Great. I'll have to dry it when I get home.' He thought.

Aldera Junior High: Principle Seller's Office.

Jason was in the principal's office. Johnny and Rouge had gone in before him, and now it was his turn.

"Well Mr. Todd." The tall woman asked. "Why don't you tell me what happened in your own words?"

"We were in class when Kanzanibu Sensei told us about the future plans but threw them away because we were all going into the Hero business. He then said that Bakugo, Midoriya, my friends, and myself would be going to U.A., and Bakugo lost his shit. He attacked Midoriya, and that's when Johnny, Rouge, and I jumped in to stop Bakugo, and Elsa, and Anna went to help Midoriya."

"I see." The principal said. "So, you attacked Bakugo."

"After he attacked Midoriya."

"Yes, but the important thing is that you attacked Bakugo." The woman said, staring down her fake ass glasses at him.

"How is that the important thing?"

"Midoriya will have to get a normal education, and a normal job, like garbage man or something, whereas Bakugo could benefit in the fight against villains."

Jason was starting to see red. He wanted to make her pay for what she said. The only difference between Heroes and Villains were the Point of View. He saw Bakugo as Villain material, Bakugo saw everyone as a stepping stone to his destiny as the next Number One Hero, Principle Seller saw him and his friends as potential Villains for defending a Quirkless student and attacking a student with an "Amazing Hero Quirk". Hero Quirk his ass. Bakugo's Quirk was only good for beating people with, and Jason didn't even need to use his Quirk; not since...

"Are you listening Mr. Todd?" Principle Sellers asked.

Jason looked at her and nodded.

"So, as I see it you and your friends will have detention for the next week."

"What about Bakugo?"

"As far as I'm concerned Bakugo was the one wronged." Principle Sellers said in a sickly sweet tone that made him sick.

"Screw that! He threw the first punch!"

"You can have two weeks detention."

"I could have your job!" He shouted. He really could. With all the evidence he had, he had Aldera over a barrel and they didn't even know it. If only he knew a lawyer that he trusted.

"Three weeks!"

"You can take that detention and shove it up your ass!"

"You're suspended for four weeks!"

"Say goodbye to your job! Last I checked what you're doing is illegal, and you could lose your job, and be blacklisted!"

"Are you threatening me?"

"No. When I threaten you, you will know it? I am simply promising you that unless you stop acting like a bitch then I will direct the police to the schools video tapes."

"Blackmail?"

"Now why would I need to stoop to blackmail when you're not doing anything wrong?"

The Principal looked shaken. "How did you know?"

"Know about what?" Jason asked innocently.

"Then you were just bluffing."

"Bluffing about what? About the fact that you are doing things that you shouldn't be doing in your office behind locked doors?"

The principal looked shaken.

"Like the alcohol that you keep in here, second drawer from the bottom? Or what about the drugs in your drawers, top drawer on the right? Or even how about the fact that you have items that the parents would be appalled to know that you have hidden in here, in your bottom drawer under the secret panel?"

"H-how did you find out?"

"I didn't know anything until you proved it right now." A lie. He'd hacked the camera's and saw everything. Aldera's camera's were disgustingly simple to hack into. Too bad he couldn't take his evidence to his mom. She wasn't Bruce. She would ask how he got said evidence and that would just be too messy to explain. He'd have to explain the coding on his laptop and the panel's in his room, and even his first aid procedures. There was just no way that his mom would understand.

"You! You little bastard!"

"So, here's what's going to happen..."

The principal's hand shot out to grab Jason by the throat, crushing it with her minor strength Quirk. She loved using the paddle she kept in her middle drawer with her Quirk active. She took too much disturbing glee out of it. He grabbed her hand, and activated his Quirk. He had maybe thirty seconds before his Quirk's negative side effects took over and Rogue or Johnny would have to stop him... if they heard him at all. The soundproofing in this room would either have to be really amazing or the Receptionist, secretaries, and counselors were okay with their boss sounding like a dog in heat at lunchtime.

"You don't scare me." He said in a voice that was way to calm. "Do you want to know you don't scare me?"

The principal tried moving her arm away, but Jason tightened his grip, and her skin started burning.

"BECAUSE I DIED ONCE! I'M NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING ANYMORE!" He began losing control and shut off his Quirk.

Outside

Johnny and Rouge were sitting outside waiting when they heard Jason yell. "Because I died once! I'm not afraid of anything anymore!"

The receptionist looked at the two who shrugged, and she went back to her business.

Jason came out five minutes later. He looked angry.

"So, what happened?" Johnny asked.

"We don't have detention anymore." Jason bit out.

"How'd ya manage that sugar?"

"Let's just say that she doesn't want the police to find out how she relieves her stress on the job." He shook his head as he felt his Quirk start taking over.

"So, you blackmailed her?" Johnny asked.

"The stupid bitch said that Midoriya would never amount to anything. I need to calm down. I need cat videos or ice cream or something that is going to help me calm down because I don't like the idea of dying at the age of fourteen!"

"I want to go talk to her." Rouge said walking back towards the Principals office.

Jason grabbed her shoulder. "You don't want to go in there yet."

"What did you do?" Johnny asked.

"She tried to grab my throat, and I grabbed her wrist. My Quirk may have activated in a moment of weakness."

"Pease tell me that you didn't burn her hand off."

"No, but she's not going to treat anyone with disrespect ever again. Where are my cat videos?"

Rogue pulled out her phone and pulled up her "Jason's gonna blow!" file and put it in his hand. "There ya go hon, all the cat videos to get your happy juices flowing again."

The trio walked back to homeroom to grab their stuff and stopped by the bike rack so Johnny could get his bike and headed home, all while Jason watched cat videos to get his serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins back up so he didn't lose control.

They stopped by Johnny's dads' garage and Johnny went in after saying goodbye.

Jason and Rouge continued walking when Rouge stopped.

"Jason. What did you do to Principal seller?"

"I told you. I grabbed her wrist when she tried to grab my throat and burned off a few layers of skin. That was it. If she goes to the police, I'll tell them to do an investigation into her because of drugs, alcohol, and adult toys."

"Seriously?"

"Yes."

"That's gross! On school property?"

"Yeah. Did you hear our conversation?"

"Yeah. There isn't much between her office and the outside offices."

"So that means that the others know what she does during lunch and either leave for lunch or just don't care."

"That's disgusting."

"Tell me about it."

"Is this part of that "Bat Computer" thing you don't want your mom knowing about?"

"Bat Cave, and yeah. I have knowledge from another universe. Do you think I can just tell my mom. "Oh yeah, just so you know I have all this blackmail material on my school because I have knowledge from another universe that I died in and was reincarnated here."? Cause I can't."

"I guess not. My mama wouldn't understand either. She barely understands my abilities."

"I don't think our moms, or Johnny's parent's understand our abilities. Why would a Quirk turn their user into a blood-thirsty monster? And I don't believe that it's a villain's Quirk. Anyone who thinks it is can choke on a bag of dicks."

"I agree. I don't think Johnny cares what anyone thinks about his Quirk either."

"He shouldn't. It's a kick ass Quirk that makes him look bad ass as hell."

"Yeah, and I don't care that mine is considered a Villain's Quirk either."

"Izuku has a notebook on each of us. That's an accomplishment in and of itself."

"Yeah."

They walked in silence until they got to Rouge's house.

"See you tomorrow Jason." Rouge waved goodbye.

Jason waved goodbye and continued walking.

He was walking when he saw a crowd gathered and saw Izuku shuddering at the back of the crowd.

"Hey Izuku, what's going on?"

Izuku nearly jumped out of his skin. "Oh. Jason. It's Bakugo."

"What about him?" Jason asked harshly.

"He's being attacked by a Sludge Villain and the Heroes can't get in close. Though if Backdraft were to prioritize the Slime Villain rather than the fire, or if Mt. Lady were to pick up the Slime Villain..."

Jason sighed and calculated his Quirk's time limit. "Can you make a distraction? I don't like Bakugo, but I know what it's like to be helpless. It sucks."

Izuku looked at Jason.

"Can you?"

"Yeah." Izuku said, thinking about his notebooks, and the fight he'd seen that morning and knew just what to do. Running through the crowd, past the Heroes he spun, gathering momentum before throwing his backpack at Sludge Villain, hitting it in the eye. He grabbed fistfuls of the Sludge Villain and began pulling. Jason had trained him since that day making him stronger, but this was an opponent who was slick and could slip out of anyone's grasp easily.

"Hey asshole!" A voice called out. "Leave Baku-bitch alone!"

The crowd parted like the Red Sea as Jason ran through them with the sleeves of his uniform burnt off and his arms covered in smoking red and black glove. He reached into the Sludge Villain and grabbed Bakugo before pulling as hard as he could.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Sludge Villain yelled. "That's hot!"

Jason ripped Bakugo out of Sludge Villain and threw him towards the Heroes.

"I'll make you pay for that!" Sludge Villain yelled.

"You can try!" Jason snapped. "But you can't take the heat!"

The Sludge Villain made a grab for Izuku, but Jason pushed him out of the way and was caught by the Sludge villain.

'Crap. I can feel my humanity slipping. I can't stay like this for much longer. If I don't shut off my Quirk I'll lose my humanity, but if I shut off my Quirk I'll suffocate or drown in slime.'

"What are you going to do now?" Sludge Villain asked.

"Let my friend go!" Izuku yelled throwing punches and kicks knowing it wouldn't do anything but knowing that he needed to help Jason. 'Too bad Elsa isn't here. She could use her ice Quirk to freeze Sludge Villain. Or Anna could use her Quirk to thin the sludge enough for Jason to get out, or Johnny could change and pull Jason out, or Rogue could borrow Backdrafts Hydrokinesis and drown the Sludge Villain!'

"Your attempts are futile!" Sludge Villain yelled before swinging at Izuku.

Izuku backflipped out of the way of the swing before charging in again. "LET! MY! FRIEND! GO!" He yelled with each punch or kick.

"ENOUGH!" Sludge Villain yelled grabbing Midoriya. "I'll kill you!"

There was a pressure wave, and All Might was standing in front of Izuku.

"Even though I admonished you, I wasn't putting what I said into practice!" All might punched through the Sludge Villain and grabbed Jason with one massive hand. "Pros are always risking their lives!"

"ALL MIGHT!" Sludge Villain yelled, swinging at him.

"DETROIT! SMASH!" All Might yelled punching the Sludge Villain while pulling Jason out and catching Izuku.

There was a pressure wave, and Sludge Villain was gone.

The crowd cheered while Jason and Izuku were stunned from the fight, giving Jason enough time to regain his humanity.

After everything was said and done Jason and Izuku got chewed out by the Heroes for being reckless.

"I didn't see your pathetic asses doing anything!" Jason snapped at the Heroes. " Backdraft! You could have used your Hydrokinesis on the Sludge Villain and diluted him before returning to the fire! Mt. Lady! If you weren't such an attention hog you could have reached in and pulled people out of harms way! Death Arms! You could have reached into the Sludge Villain and pulled Bakugo out! You are supposed to be Heroes! Act like them!"

The Heroes looked shocked and tore into Jason.

Jason just ignored them but felt like he was being watched. He turned around and saw Bakugo glaring at him while Heroes surrounded him, consoling him and telling him that he did good, surviving so long, and that he would make a good Hero and to call them when he's looking for a Hero Agency.

Jason and Izuku were walking home after the Sludge Villain incident when they heard someone yelling at them.

"Todd! Deku!"

They turned to see Bakugo.

"Kacchan?" Midoriya asked.

"I never asked for your guy's' help!" He snarled. "And you guys didn't help me! Got it! I was fine by myself! You're a Quirkless failure playing without a full deck, and a loser who hangs out with other losers. Don't think you can look down on me! Do you think I owe you guys now? I don't! Don't look down on me! You damn nerds!"

They looked at each other before they continued walking.

"He's right you know." Izuku said. "I didn't really accomplish or change anything. Maybe now I can think about a realistic future."

"What are you talking about?" Jason asked. "You can be the first Quirkless Hero. You can give hope to other Quirkless kids who are want to know if they can be a Quirkless Hero."

"I can't be a Hero. So, I need to look into a more realistic future."

"Who the hell told you that you can't be a Hero? I'll go and kick their ass right now!"

Before Izuku could answer All Might showed up.

"I am here!" All Might yelled startling them, causing Jason to lash out punching him.

"What the hell are you made of!" Jason demanded, shaking the discomfort out of his hand, before realizing who he had just punched.

"A-All Might!" The duo yelled in unison.

"What are you doing here?" Izuku asked. "You we're surrounded by reporters until just now."

"Ha ha ha ha!" All Might laughed. "Getting away from them is rather easy. Why? Because I am All Migh..." All Might coughed up blood and became a scrawny shrimp again.

"Who are you and why are you impersonating All Might!" Jason yelled making a knife, realizing what a bad idea that was after his limit was pushed.

"No, no." Izuku said stepping in front of Jason. "It's All Might all right. This is just a side effect of an injury."

"Okay." Jason said. "But I'm not putting the knife away yet."

"Fair enough." The maybe All Might said wiping his mouth of blood. "Young man." He said turning to face Izuku. "I come with thanks, a correction, and a suggestion."

There was silence for a second before he continued.

"If you hadn't been there... if you hadn't of told me about your life... I would have turned into a guy in a bodysuit who was all talk. Thank you."

"That can't be... it was my fault in the first place. I got in the way of your work."

"Uh." Jason said confused. "Did I miss something?"

"I'll tell you later." Izuku said before turning back to All Might. "Besides. I said all of those impertinent things even though I'm Quirkless."

Jason glared at All Might. So he was the one who told Izuku he couldn't be a Hero without a Quirk. He was about to be the guy who kicked All Might's ass.

"That's right." All Might said to Izuku. "It was because it was none other than the timid, Quirkless you at the scene that I was able to act."

Izuku looked at All Might.

"Say What now?" Jason asked, snapping out of his plotting.

"Top Heroes have stories about them from their school days. Most of their stories have one thing in common: Their bodies moved before they had a chance to think. It happened to you ten years ago." All Might pointed at Jason. "Ten years ago, at that park you and your friends moved on your own to protect your families and friends."

Jason was taken aback that All Might remembered. Maybe he could put kicking All Might's ass on the back burner.

Izuku started crying.

"That was true for you wasn't it?" All Might asked Izuku.

"Yesss!!!!" Izuku sobbed through clenched teeth before falling to his knees.

"You can become a Hero." All Might said to Izuku.

Jason watched as one of his best friends, and the Number One Hero just sat in silence.

After a while All Might spoke up. "You are worthy to inherit my power."

Jason's head spun over to look at All Might and Izuku looked up with a runny nose and tear-filled eyes. "Huh?" He asked. "In-inherit your power?"

"Ha ha ha ha!" All Might laughed. "What's with the face? It's just a suggestion. The real show starts after this."

All Might walked up to Izuku, and Jason tensed ever so slightly.

"Listen, young man. You need to decide..." All Might held one hand in the air. "... whether or not you will accept my power!" He yelled pointing at Izuku before coughing up blood.

"What are you saying?" Jason asked putting words to Izuku's thoughts.

"I'm talking about my power." All Might said to both of them. "The Tabloids called it Superhuman strength and a boost and I constantly dodge the question with interviews with a funny joke. I did this because the Symbol of Peace, All Might, had to be a natural born hero. But I will tell you the truth, I am swearing you both to secrecy, and if you promise to keep quiet about this then I will tell you."

"I can keep a secret." Jason said.

"I can too." Izuku nodded.

"Very well. My secret is that My Quirk was passed on to me like a sacred torch."

"So, you were Quirkless too?" Jason asked.

"Your Quirk was passed down to you?" Izuku asked at the same time.

"That's right. And next, it is your turn?"

"So, you weren't Quirkless?" Jason asked.

"W-Wait! Wait a minute." Izuku said. "It's true that your Quirk is something hotly debated as one of the world's greatest mysteries. So much so that not a day goes by when I don't see someone talking about it online. But we'll, I don't really understand. What do you mean by inheriting or passing on a Quirk..."

"Great." Jason said. "And now he's muttering to himself."

Jason and All Might looked at each other before looking at Izuku.

"You always start with denial, don't you?" All Might asked. "Nonsense!"

"Huh, What, huh?" Izuku asked breaking out of his thoughts.

"I may hide a lot of things." All might said. "But I don't lie! The power to transfer power... that is the Quirk I inherited! I was crowned with "One for All"!" A multicolored light appearing in his open hand.

"One for all?" Jason and Izuku asked in unison.

"That's right. One person cultivates the power and passes it onto another person, who also cultivates it and passes it on. It is the crystallization of power that spins together the voices of those who need help with a courageous heart."

"Why-why are you giving me something so great?" Izuku asked.

"Because. I have been looking for a successor. And then, I thought it would be all right for you to inherit it. You are just a Quirkless Hero fanboy, but you were more heroic than anyone else back there."

"Even Jason?"

"Jason has a Quirk to protect himself with. You don't. That makes you more Heroic than even Jason."

"R-really?"

"Never mind! Well, it's up to you, though. What will you do?"

Izuku clenched his hand into a fist before he wiped the tears from his eyes and stood up. "I'll do it!" He said with confidence and conviction.

"An immediate reply." All Might said. "That's what I thought you'd say. Meet me at Dagoba Municipal Beach Park tomorrow morning at sunrise, and we will begin your training."

"Training?"

"Yes. You can't just inherit One for All, you need to train to inherit it. If you didn't then your arms, legs, and head would be blown off by such awesome power."

"Please tell me you're joking." Jason said.

"I wish I were, but the power of One for All is Vast..."

Jason's and Izuku's phones rang at almost the same time. They looked at each other sheepishly before answering their phones.

"Hi mom." They said in unison.

Two loud female voices erupted from the speakers.

All Might looked at them and knew that he had made the right choice.

AN: So, Jason, Izuku, and their friends are pretty close. When Bakugo tried attacking Izuku, Jason, Johnny, and Rouge went to fight Bakugo, and went a little overboard, and Anna and Elsa went to help Izuku. Then when Bakugo was attacking Anna and Elsa, Izuku punches him hard enough to drop him, but not hard enough to keep him down. He doesn't have the almost twenty years of experience that Jason has, but he has been training with Jason since he was five.

Jason treating the Principal the way that he does might be a little unbelievable, but it does seem like something he would do later on in the DC universe. Though his friends have every reason to be worried. I'll explain why later on.

As for Izuku and Jason attacking the Sludge Villain I just wanted a reason for a Jason/Izuku team up.

And I can't imagine Their mothers being happy about it.

Enjoy.

Chapter 3: Coming Clean

Summary:

Jason, Johnny, Rogue, Anna, and Elsa tell Izuku about who they were before coming to this world.

Chapter Text

AN: I don't own the characters used in this fic. They all belong to their respective owners.

AN: Possible trigger warning. There is a mention of rape, and a character is said to have lustful thoughts about minors.

It was Sheila and Mitsuki's day off, and the two were sitting in Inko's living room having tea and talking with the T.V. on in the background when they heard: "Hey asshole! Leave Baku-bitch alone!"

Sheila spun around and saw the crowd part for Jason, who had the sleeves on his school uniform burned off, and ran through the crowd towards a Slime Monster. "JASON!" She shouted desperately, as if yelling loud enough could let Jason hear her.

"IZUKU!" Inko shouted, hodling her hand to her heart when she saw Izuku standing to the side as Jason reached into the Slime Villain and pulled Katsuki out before throwing him to the Heroes.

"Serves the brat right!" Mitsuki shouted. "He thinks he's tough shit because his all of his teachers and classmates tell him that he's going to be an amazing Hero, well now he has to get saved because his Quirk isn't the best!"

Deep down Mitsuki was terrified, but she had always been the blunt one, the strong one. She couldn't show any kind of Weakness. Then Sheila's kid got caught by the Slime Villain.

"NOO!!!" Sheila yelled. " Please! Someone! Do something! God! Please! Do something! Don't let Jason lose control! Please! I'll do anything! Don't let Jason lose control!"

Inko rubbed her back consolingly while Mitsuki watched with what, for her, was horror filled eyes.

'Kami in heaven.' Mitsuki prayed. 'Please don't let Sheila's kid change. There's no telling what he would, or could, do if he changed.'

"DETROIT! SMASH!" Another familiar voice, that Sheila wouldn't forget for as long as she lived, yelled before punching the Slime Villain with enough force to cause it to rain.

"Oh God!" Sheila shouted, as fresh tears streamed down her face. "Thank you!"

Inko hugged Sheila while Mitsuki wiped sweat from her brow. As strong as Katsuki was, and he was strong; if only he could show some fucking humility, Sheila's kid was terrifying. After what Sheila said happened at the mall with Anna... Mitsuki shivered at the thought. She hoped that Katsuki never pissed Jason off enough to see what he was really capable of.

"I need to get home." Sheila said, grabbing her stuff, and running out the door.

I should probably get home and get started on dinner." Mitsuki said, letting nonchalance ooze from her. "Are you going to be okay until Zuzu gets home?" She asked, using the nickname she'd given him when he and Bakugo were still friends rather than acquaintances.

"Yes, I'll be fine. Thanks. Tell Katsu-kun I said hello."

"Will do. See you next week."

"See you next week." Inko said before heading into the kitchen to start dinner.

After Jason got home that night his mom chewed him out for running into a dangerous situation when there were Heroes on the scene.

"But the heroes weren't doing anything." He said.

"That's because they could see a dangerous situation."

"No. They weren't thinking. If they had been thinking, then Izuku and I wouldn't have needed to save Bakugo."

"That wasn't your call to make."

"I helped save Bakugo though."

"Yes, but you nearly got hurt yourself. I don't know what I would do if I lost you."

"Sorry mom, but I couldn't just sit back and watch. Bakugo was helpless, and I couldn't just sit back and do nothing."

Sheila wiped her face. "Jason. It's admirable that you want to save everyone you see in need, but not at the cost of your own life."

Jason thought about that. "Sorry mom."

"Just promise me that you'll be more careful. You know what happens when you use your Quirk."

"Yeah." Jason said darkly. "I know. I nearly went over my limit today. If All Might hadn't knocked me out I would have changed."

Sheila shivered and hugged Jason fiercely. "That's one reason why I'm glad you found that MMA dojo you train at on the weekends. It helps you fight so you don't need to use your Quirk."

"I'll try and be more careful mom."

"That's all that I ask."

Jason went upstairs to his room and fell on his bed.

His phone rang a few minutes later and he picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Jason."

"Hey Izuku. Did your mom chew you out too?"

"Yeah. She said that it's dangerous for people who have Quirks so that makes it twice as dangerous for me."

"My mom said that I can't use my Quirk or else... well. You know what happens when I use my Quirk."

"Yeah. I still remember two years ago when that guy pushed Anna down the stairs."

Jason remembered that guy. Anna only bumped into him and he shoved her causing her to fall down the stairs.

It had taken Johnny, Izuku, and Rouge to keep him from killing the guy while Elsa kept Anna cold until the paramedics got there.

Last time Jason checked the guy wasn't going to be walking anytime soon, and the burns were deep.

"So, were you going to train with All Might?" Jason asked changing the subject.

"I'd be crazy not to. I mean you've helped me a lot. I'm more confident. I am stronger. But I need more training. You can only teach me so much, and All Might... he's a pro."

"Hey. I get it. I'm not mad or anything, and who knows. Maybe we can train together."

"Maybe."

"Hey. Tomorrow after school all of us need to talk."

"Okay. Why?"

"Just something that you need to know."

"Okay."

"Talk to you tomorrow."

"You too."

The two hung up and Jason got ready for bed before going to bed.

The next day they met in the courtyard.

"Hey Izuku!" Anna yelled.

"M'rning." Izuku yawned.

"What happened to you?" Johnny asked. "Is there a special someone keeping you up at night?" He asked elbowing him.

"What? No! I just woke up with the sunrise."

"Oh." Everyone but Jason said sympathetically.

"Why were you up at sunrise sugar?" Rogue asked.

"I'm not sure I can tell you guys."

"Don't worry." Jason said. "We will talk after school. Remember when I said that we had to talk?"

"Yeah."

"Well we have been keeping a secret since we were four years old, and I think that you have a right to know that secret."

"Okay."

They walked into the school and saw Principal Seller with her arm in a sling.

She glared at Jason.

Jason glared at her with a look that seemed to rip the courage from her body leaving her weak and cowering from him.

"What's wrong with Principal Seller?" Izuku asked.

"I'm not sure." Jason said.

They went through their day with no problems. Bakugo didn't even try antagonizing Izuku after what had happened the previous day.

After school they all met at Elsa and Anna's house where they did homework together.

After homework Jason spoke up.

"Okay. Izuku. There is something that you need to know."

"What is it?"

"We aren't from here."

"Yeah. I know that."

"No. I mean that we aren't from your world."

"Like aliens?"

"No. We come from... have you ever heard of the multiverse?"

"In comics."

"Okay. We are from different universes."

"Oh." Izuku said letting that sink in. "Where are you guys from then?"

"I am from a universe where I lived in Gotham City. I lived on the street from when I was six and was picked up by a Hero named Batman. He took me to a reform school where I was taught to steal anything and everything I could. I was also taught to fight, but I was... unrefined; like a wild animal. I got away after three years and found Batman. I was later trained to fight crime by Batman, and it eventually led to my death."

"But if you died. How are you here?"

"I was given a second chance."

"Is that true?"

Jason reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of red cloth with a yellow R and a tattered mask. "This is a part of my suit from that universe. In that universe some people had Quirks, and others didn't. I didn't have a Quirk, but I still fought crime. I used martial arts and gadgets to fight."

"Is that why you say that I can be a Hero without a Quirk."

"Yes. I didn't have a Quirk and yet I still fought crime. Even criminals with Quirks. In fact, Batman was Quirkless, and he fought that universes version of All Might, and won."

This brought gasps from everyone in the room.

"No one can beat All Might." Izuku said.

"Batman did."

"That's crazy."

"He was."

"What about the rest of you?" Izuku asked.

"I guess I'll go next." Johnny said. "I made a deal with the Devil to save my father, and, big shocker, the Devil lied. My father died, and I was turned into this..." He changed into the Rider. "I am nigh indestructible with the exception of holy and blessed objects. I can change any vehicle into my ride. It's not just my bike. I had a chain whip and shotgun I used to fight demonic threats to the human world. I also have an attack that burns the soul."

"What's it called?"

"The Penance stare. It allows me to see what the victim of the stare has done, and inflicts the pain they caused. The worse the person the more painful the... not really death considering they are in more of a comatose state reliving their pain for eternity. Though they wish they were dead."

"Why would you choose to become that?"

"Would any of you do anything to save your loved ones?"

They thought about that for a second.

"One other thing. I can produce fire that only burns the wicked."

"Okay." Izuku said, not really knowing what else to say.

"The only proof that I have is my fire." Johnny said holding out his hand and creating a fireball. "Only the righteous can pass through the fire without being burned. The wicked will burn."

Izuku waved his hand through the fire and was fine.

Anna, Elsa, and Rogue were next and also didn't burn.

"The fire might not work on you because your Quirk is Hell based."

Jason waved his hand through the fire and felt heat. "I can feel heat."

"Then that means that you are a wicked soul."

"I used to kill criminals." Jason said with no shame in his voice. "I used to kill criminals who were never going to change and would lie about it."

"I think that the reason you can feel the heat is because you lied about killing them, but I also kill the wicked so I cannot judge you for that."

They looked at Jason. They knew that he had a thing against people who hurt others he cared about, but he was admitting to killing criminals.

"I guess I'm next." Rogue said breaking the silence. "I was born in a world where people were afraid of people with Quirks. They called us Mutants. I was born to a father who was ashamed of me. A woman came and adopted me. She became my mama. She trained me how to use my abilities. She's the reason I can fly and have super strength. She told me to grab hold of a woman and not let go. I did, and I didn't let go. I drained her of most of her power and put her into a coma. I was so horrified by what I had done that I ran away...well, flew away really. I found a man by the name of Professor Charles Xavier, and he helped me. I made friends there, and even found someone I think of as an older brother."

"What happened?" Izuku asked.

"The Friends of Humanity happened." Rogue snarled.

"Who are they?"

"A bunch of Mutant hatin' humans. They attacked the mansion where Professor X had his school and took Jubilee. What they did to her..." Rouge wiped away a tear. "What they did to her wasn't human. It was an act done by monsters."

"What did they do?" Jason asked.

"They crucified her and left her out to die." Rogue cried.

Anna and Elsa moved their hands to their mouths in horror, Johnny's fire grew in intensity, Izuku choked, and Jason bowed his head but began shaking in rage.

"When Logan found her, he was furious. He'd sorta taken her and me under his wing and became the big brother we wanted, but after that he changed. He became more animalistic and bloodthirsty. He left the school and hunted down every Friend of Humanity member like they were wild game. I went on to meet Gambit, and we hit it off. We were both running from troubled pasts and found comfort with each other. Then one day his old crew came and killed him. His dying wish was that I take his Quirk. I did, but after a few more years of the same song and dance I just lost the will to live. I didn't kill myself, but I didn't defend myself when under attack."

Everyone stared at Rogue.

Anna hugged her. "I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault sugar."

"It doesn't have to be for me to feel sympathetic."

Rogue hugged Anna tightly for a few more minutes.

"Thanks sugar. I needed that."

"You're welcome." Anna said before walking back to stand with Elsa.

"I guess we're next." Elsa said. "My name is Elsa Martin, and my sister is Anna Martin. Where we came from, we were Elsa Agnarrsdotter: Queen of Arendelle and Anna Agnarrsdotter: Princess of Arendelle. I was born with Ice magic that was feared by my parents. When I was eight years old, I hurt Anna with my Ice powers and ended up locking myself away for the next ten years until I took over the kingdom. The short version is that I lost control, ran away, nearly killed Anna, and found that all I really needed was love. Then I ended up sacrificing myself because I loved my Kingdom."

"I was not very smart." Anna said. "After years of isolation I tried to marry the first man I met, terrible idea by the way. He tried to have Elsa killed. I jumped in the way of his sword and because of my love for my sister I was able to help her learn to control her ice powers, and I married the second man I had met, but one night I went to sleep and woke up inside a one year old's body." Anna huffed.

"You were a very cute one year old." Elsa tried placating.

"I have to admit." Johnny said. "It wasn't a great experience waking up in a four-year old's body. I mean I was twenty-five one night and four the next morning."

"I was twenty-three." Rouge said.

"I was twenty-one." Elsa said.

"So was I." Anna said. "We're the same age now!" She said hugging Elsa tightly.

"Anna... Air." Elsa reminded.

"Oh. Sorry." Anna said, letting go.

"I was fifteen." Jason said.

Everyone looked at Jason sadly. "I'm so sorry." Anna said.

"Cheer up sugar." Rogue said. "You've got us. You'll live a long life."

Izuku looked at his friends. He was shocked but they were telling the truth." He pulled his phone out of his pocket and scrolled through his pictures. "So, are these you guys?" he asked showing him some of his first drawings into his notebooks.

He showed Jason a tall boy with an eye mask and a red and black suit with a yellow utility belt and yellow R over his heart.

"Yeah." Jason said in shock. "How?"

He showed Johnny a blond man with black motorcycle boots, blue jeans, a black motorcycle jacket with spikes on the shoulders and wrist, a chain wrapped from his left shoulder to his right hip, and a shotgun from his right shoulder to his left hip.

"That's what I looked like as an adult. How did you find out?"

He showed Elsa a beautiful woman with platinum blonde hair that went down her back in a braid. She wore an icy blue dress that dragged the ground with white heels.

"Yes. How did you draw this?"

He showed Rogue a woman wearing a green and yellow jumpsuit with an X on the belt. A brown leather jacket with mostly red hair except the top which was white.

"How did you draw this sugar?"

"That day we went to the park ten years ago, when the ground started shaking and you guys went into action. I saw these. I didn't know what they were, but I couldn't get them out of my mind until I drew them. If what you guys are saying is true. Then I saw who you were, and you were all Heroes. So, I believe you."

"That's good." Anna said. "Otherwise we might have sounded crazy."

"Oh no. I'm sure we sounded Crazy." Johnny said. "Izuku has just gotten used to our brand of crazy."

"So, what did All might tell you?" Jason asked.

"He says that I need to follow this list until we go to the U.A. next year." Izuku said handing Jason a piece of paper.

Jason read the list. "You're already doing most of this stuff."

"I know, but it's extra help for the U.A."

"Well then we will help you follow through." Anna said. "I mean how hard can this training be?"

The next day.

"Why are we up so early?" Anna asked.

"We are meeting All Might at Dagoba Municipal beach park." Izuku said. "He told me that I had to meet him there every day, and that I would train to take his place."

They got to the Park and saw All Might there. "Good morning young men and women. It is good to see you."

"You were expecting us?" Anna asked.

"Yes. I knew that as soon as Young Midoriya told you what was going on that you would join him."

"You knew that I was going to tell them?" Izuku asked.

"Of course. You share a strong bond with them. I knew that you shared a strong bond with them when you told me how loyal you were to each other."

"So, what are we going to do?" Johnny asked.

"An excellent question young man. You're going to clean up the beach with Young Midoriya. As well as do everything on that list."

"Cool." Johnny said turning into the Rider.

"No no no no." All Might said shaking his finger at Johnny. "Absolutely no use of your Quirks. This is about training your body and your mind."

"What?" Johnny said.

"Come on wimp." Jason said bumping Johnny with his shoulder before running down to the beach and starting to Clean it up, pulling work gloves out of his bag and tossing a pair to the others.

Izuku, Anna, Elsa, and Rogue followed leaving Johnny with All Might.

"Well?" All Might asked.

Johnny went off to help.

Two days later.

"Hey hey hey." All Might said. "This fridge is rather comfy, but we aren't going anywhere."

Izuku fell on his face, Anna and Elsa fell on their butts, Jason slipped but turned the slip into a flip before landing in a crouch, and Johnny fell into him knocking them both to the ground.

"I don't mean to bother you guys, but if you could move it even a little bit then that would be a little easier."

Rogue walked over and picked the fridge up. "Come on guys." She smiled. "It's not that heavy is it?"

"Cheater." Johnny groaned.

"Don't be jealous sugar."

"Why can't you guy's move this?" All Might asked. "I thought that Jason and Johnny also had enhanced strength."

"Not whenever we are pulling an industrial fridge with you sitting on it." Jason said. "And there's probably stuff inside it too to make it heavier."

"You are right."

"You weigh 274 kilograms." Izuku said. "Add that to..."

"No." All Might said. "I lost weight. I only weigh 255 kilograms... in this form."

"How heavy is the fridge?" Johnny asked.

"Not that heavy sugar." Rogue said changing to holding the fridge with one hand.

"Why are we doing this?" Izuku asked.

"It's to get you into shape to be the proper vessel to take One for All, you know."

"Vessel?" Jason, Johnny, and Rogue asked.

"Yes. My Quirk, One for All, is the fullest physical ability of many people gathered into one. An unprepared body cannot fully inherit it. Your limbs and head would blow off, and your body would explode."

"MY LIMBS WOULD WHAT!" Izuku yelled before falling into shudders.

His friends looked at All Might in horror.

"All in favor of Izuku keeping his limbs say aye." Anna said, raising her hand.

"Aye." Everyone, including All Might said.

"So, wait." Elsa said. "You're telling us that Izuku is picking up trash to train his body?"

"Yes." All Might said with a thumbs up. "However, that is not all. I did some research yesterday and found out that this part of the beach parks coast has been like this for many years."

"That's right." Izuku said. "The currents here cause objects to drift towards this coast, and some people take advantage of it to hide Illegal dumping, and the local residents don't really come here either."

"Heroes nowadays are all after the showy stuff. originally, being a Hero meant doing Volunteer service." He walked over to Rogue and pressed down on the refrigerator. Rogue pushed back and they crushed the fridge halfway. "Even if people called that boring or whatever, you can't waiver from those roots." All Might and Rogue crushed the fridge flat, showing them the sun shining on the horizon. "None of you can." All Might looked at each of them. "You all will restore the horizon for this whole section. This is your first step in becoming Heroes!"

There was an energy that seemed to vibrate in all of them.

"My first step?" Izuku asked.

"Our first step." Anna and Elsa said, putting supportive hands on his shoulders.

"We... are going to clean... all of this?" Johnny asked, motioning around them.

"You all want to go to U.A. right?"

"Yes." They all said confidently.

"Young Midoriya. You know this but I'm going to tell you again. You can't go to U.A. without a Quirk. It is sad, but that is what the reality is. U.A. is the hardest of all of the Hero courses to get into. In other words..."

"I have to complete my vessel before the entrance exam in ten months."

"Yes. That is where this comes in. It's a complete list of what you will need to do, eat, and the time periods that you should be increasing. It will help you finish cleaning this beach. You will follow this list in every aspect of your life."

"Cool." Jason said. "Where's ours?"

"Um... I only made the one for Young Midoriya."

"But..." Anna said with a sniff; leveling the biggest, most dangerous puppy dog eyes at All Might. "...we told Izuku that we would help him become the greatest Hero that he could be. How can we do that if we don't have a daily plan that we can follow?"

"Wait wait wait." All Might said trying to calm Anna down before she could start crying. "I'm sure that you can make a copy to follow."

"Okay!" Anna said bouncing back to her cheerful self so fast that it gave All Might whiplash.

All Might shook it off and looked at Izuku. "Between you and me this is a super hard schedule. Do you think you can follow it?"

"Of course." Izuku said. " I will have to work harder than anyone else, even with Jason's training, but I will do it."

"And so begins the ten months of hell." Johnny said becoming the Rider.

Every morning Izuku and his friends would wake up early and race to Dagoba Beach where they would pick up discarded Junk.

All Might pushed them until they had to leave to get ready for school when they would leave, but the next morning they were back at it again.

School was difficult because they were already tired from the extensive exercise, and everyone, with the exception of Jason and Rogue, would be caught falling asleep, but they would take careful notes for each of them.

One day Izuku began muttering about training and drew everyone's attention towards him.

"Midoriya!" One of their teachers said before using his Quirk to chop him in the head, only for Izuku to block the teacher's hand.

Izuku grabbed his face in embarrassment, letting the teacher try again, only for Jason to grab the teachers hand and crushing it in his hand, burning it with a Hellfire glove, and glaring at the teacher with a glare that made the teacher need to run to the bathroom.

Class went on in silence.

After class everyone met at Izuku's apartment to do homework.

"Are you okay?" Anna asked Jason. "You were really tense in class."

"I'm fine." Jason said in a clipped tone.

"No, you're not hon." Rogue said. "Getting trapped by that villain brought up some really painful memories didn't it?"

Jason was quiet for a while. "Yeah." He said with a bowed head and a sniff.

Everyone looked at Jason in shock. He just sniffed like he was about to start crying.

"It's okay hon. You can let go."

"Yeah." Anna said. "Let it go."

Elsa looked at Anna.

"Why?" Jason asked.

"You were 15 years old when you were brutally murdered after being rendered helpless." Johnny said. "You just went through something where you were rendered helpless again, and you thought that you were going to die. You need to come to terms with that."

Slowly the dam broke and Jason broke down.

Inko heard the commotion and came into the kitchen. "Is everything okay?" She asked.

"Yeah." Rogue said hugging Jason. "Jason is finally coming to terms with the Sludge Villain incident Auntie Inko."

"Oh. I'm sorry."

"He just needs some time."

"Okay."

After Jason calmed down, they got back to work, and left soon after.

They continued following the list of what they needed to do.

When summer hit, they would spend all day at the beach taking breaks to swim, eat lunch, and relax so they didn't overwork themselves, but Izuku was always pushing himself to be better.

Finally, All Might had Izuku give him a piggyback ride to see where his strength was.

When fall hit, they were running while All Might rode a Segway.

Jason and Johnny were using their Quirks to keep warm, so they were wearing basketball shorts and a T-shirt. Elsa was used to the cold because of her Quirk, and was wearing sweats and a light hoodie. Everyone else was wearing warm workout clothes.

They were jogging when Izuku fell down.

"Izuku!" Anna and Elsa yelled.

"Izuku!" Jason and Johnny yelled.

"You okay hon?" Rogue asked.

"You're not going to make it today." All Might said. "Wanna give up? Wanna take it easy and rest today?"

Izuku struggled to his knees.

All Might and Jason noticed it right away.

"You overworked yourself." Jason said.

"The 'Aim to Pass: American DreamPlan' was adjusted with your body in mind." All Might said. "It was adjusted so you would make it in time for the entrance exam. You haven't been sticking to the plan... Overdoing it will have the opposite effect!" All Might was mad. "Don't you want to get in?"

"I do..." Izuku said struggling. "...but I can't just get in. I have to work a lot harder than other people. Otherwise I won't be able to catch up." Izuku struggled to stay on his knees. "I want to be like you. I want to become the Greatest Hero, like you!"

Anna and Elsa covered their mouths while Jason, Johnny, and Rogue bowed their heads in guilt. They had been doing this to help Izuku, but it seemed like they were just hurting him as constant reminders of what he was missing.

"You're foolish young man."

Everyone gasped.

"You have friends who are here with you rather than enjoying their free time in the way of their choosing. They have put the last few months on hold to help you. I admire your tenacity, looking to the future, but don't forget to be in the present as well." All Might change, becoming the Number One Hero. "You are a go-getter fanboy. I like that, but if that's the case then you really can't rush things now. But I do understand your feelings. Leave it to me to adjust your plan."

Eventually it was the day of the Exam, and they made their way to the beach to clear away the last of the debris.

When they put the last piece of trash on the pile Midoriya climbed to the top and yelled.

"Hey, hey. Hey!" All Might said coming up to them. "You guys even cleaned outside of where I told you to. There's not even a speck of dust!"

"Doesn't sand qualify as dust?" Anna asked.

"He was speaking metaphorically hon." Rogue corrected.

"You guys finished at the last minute. This is perfect! Oh my... oh my... goodness!" All Might said becoming the Number One Hero.

Izuku swayed from the top of the pile and fell.

Jason, Johnny, and Rogue ran to catch him. Anna and Elsa covered their mouths.

There was a pressure wave, and All Might caught him. "Good work."

"I did it All Might. I did it."

"Yeah. You surprised me. All of you did. You gave up the last ten months to help your friend's."

"Did we?" Elsa asked. "Or did we spend the last ten months making memories that we will carry with us forever, and build a bond stronger than the one we had before?"

"A very deep thought." All Might said. "You will all make great Heroes." He took out his phone and showed Izuku something. "Here. take a look." It was a picture of Izuku on the ground with tears in his eyes wondering if he could really do this.

"That's..."

"It's you, ten months ago." He took a picture of Izuku as he was currently and showed him. "This is you now. You did good. You really did. The mirage of it is, finally, just barely visible, but you have certainly become a suitable vessel."

"Izuku has been training with Jason for the last ten years though." Anna said. "Wasn't this just extra training to get him ready for U.A.?"

All Might looked at Izuku. "You didn't tell me you were training before this training." He said, confused.

"Actually, he did." Rogue said. "He said it at the beginning. We just thought that this was extra training."

All Might looked at Rogue and felt a sweatdrop on his forehead.

Izuku looked at his hand. "I feel like I'm cheating..."

That caught everyone off guard.

"...You did all this... for me..." Izuku started crying tears of joy. "I'm too blessed."

All Might laughed.

"It was all your own hard work." Jason said giving words to All Might's thoughts.

All Might patted Izuku on the back. "We'll have to fix those leaky eyes of yours. Now, It's time for the award ceremony, Izuku Midoriya!"

"Yes sir!" Izuku said, wiping his eyes

All Might reached up and plucked a single strand of hair from the plumes on his head. "This is something I was once told: "Something that you receive because you are lucky and something you are given because you are recognized are different in essence." Take that to heart. This is the power you earned because of your own effort."

Izuku's face became determined.

"Congratulations!" Anna and Elsa yelled.

"You earned this." Johnny said patting him on the back.

"Way to go." Rogue encouraged.

Izuku looked at Jason.

"Well?" Jason asked with a smile on his face. "What are you waiting for? We've got bad guys to catch."

All Might handed Izuku the strand of his hair. "…Eat this."

Everyone was shocked to various degree's

"Huh?" Izuku asked.

"What?" Jason and Johnny said.

"You mind running that by us one more time?" Rogue asked.

"Eww!" Anna said making a disgusted face.

Elsa covered her mouth.

"It doesn't really matter what it is, so long as you take in my DNA."

Jason's mind began racing, and finally he came to a conclusion. "Out of everything he could have chosen. It's actually the best-case scenario."

Johnny and Rogue thought about that.

"Dude." Johnny said. "That's kind of sick how quickly you thought that through."

"Why did you even think like that?" Rogue asked.

"Hey. I lived in Gotham. People in Gotham are sick and twisted individuals."

"What do you guys mean?" Anna asked.

"Trust me sugar. You're better off not knowing."

All Might looked at Jason before comprehension dawned on him. "Oh my."

"I don't think that you would actually use any of those methods." Jason said waving his arms. "It's just that..."

"No. I see your point. It is a bit vague, but luckily enough One for All has only been carried by Heroes with righteous intentions."

I looked from Jason to All Might back to Jason. "WAIT!" He yelled. "Why would you even think that?"

"Hey! I've seen things that would make you think just like me. I had to learn how to think fast and, on my feet, otherwise I could have been killed."

"What is this?" All Might asked. "Why do you say that?"

"Long story short." Jason said looking at All Might. "We aren't from here." He waved at Johnny, Rogue, Anna, Elsa, and himself. "We are from different universes. Ten years ago, we all showed up here as if we had been living here all our lives with memories of our families and friends, as well as our memories of the universe we came from."

All Might tensed for a second. 'Was it that fight? Ten years ago, I got into a fight with a Villain who had an unusual Quirk. Was it that fight that brought them here?'

"We have to go, or we will be late." Johnny pointed out.

Izuku took the hair and wrapped it up before he put it in his mouth and swallowed.

Jason tossed him his water bottle and he downed the entire bottle making sure to swallow the hair.

"Hey." Johnny said slapping Jason on the back. "Want to race to Main street."

"You're on." Jason said. "Hey guys!" He yelled running towards Main street. "Let's meet up at U.A.!" Before turning around. He jumped in the air, smacked his hands together and pulled them apart creating a black and red motor bike before racing off.

Johnny became the Rider and touched his motor bike causing it to become demonic looking. "Ah hell yeah! See you guys at U.A.!" He yelled before racing off after Jason.

Everyone else looked at Izuku. "See you at U.A.!" They yelled excitedly before taking off to get ready.

Izuku looked at All Might. "Um. Hello?" He poked All Might.

All Might shook his head. "Yes? Young Midoriya?" He asked shaken.

"I don't mean to bother you, but um. How exactly do I use One for All?"

Jason and Johnny were racing through the streets at speeds that normal bikes couldn't reach.

They were laughing and taunting each other as they sped towards Main Street.

Jason looked behind them and saw that not only were they tearing up the street literally, but they were also melting the asphalt.

They saw Main Street and sped towards it.

Just as they were about to cross the street a family started walking across.

'Shit!' Jason thought. He jumped in the air and made the bike disappear before creating a glider that he used to glide over the family.

Johnny wasn't so lucky. He turned to stop but ended up rolling his bike in front of the family. He rolled to a stop and his bike skidded.

"Are you guy's okay?" He asked.

The two kids that were with the family looked scared, and the adults looked angry.

"What the hell is your problem?" The dad asked. "Do you think that it's okay to put people in danger just for a street race?"

"Um... no."

"Then why did you do it?"

"Because we're young and stupid."

"Do you think this is a joke? You could have killed my family!"

Jason walked up. "Are you hurt?" He asked.

"NO, but we could have been."

Jason's danger sense went off and he backflipped out of the way as the man threw knives at them.

The knives melted on contact with Johnny's fire.

"What the hell!" Johnny yelled.

The man forgot about Johnny and lunged at Jason. "GIVE ME YOUR QUIRK!" He yelled.

"NO!" Jason yelled kicking the man.

The man grabbed Jason's leg. "GIVE! ME! YOUR! QUIRK!"

Jason could feel his energy being drained. 'Parasite.' He mumbled.

Johnny saw Jason go limp and charged the man. He spun him around. "Your soul is stained with the blood of the innocent! Look into my eyes and feel their pain!" He yelled.

Johnny saw the man walking around town stalking people before breaking into their houses and taking their Quirks before killing them. He had taken multiple Quirks, but he could only use them once. He saw him talking to a man shrouded in shadows. 'Bring me Jason Todd. You can take his Quirk as payment.' Then he was given a Quirk that gave him the ability to take multiple Quirks and use them as many times as he wanted. He took a brainwashing Quirk. He used it to rape and kill. He saw Jason and saw him use his Quirk to save Bakugo, and he needed his Quirk... no. He lusted for his Quirk. He stalked Jason, and all of them. He wanted to hurt them. He had lustful thoughts about Anna, Elsa, and Rogue, and wanted to take Jason's Quirk before taking them.

Johnny pulled free from the man's sins and let out a rage filled roar before throwing the man away and stalking after him.

Jason struggled to lift his head and looked at the man's 'family'. They looked lifeless. Their eyes had no soul in them.

Jason saw red.

Johnny knew that the man's soul had been seared, but he felt an overwhelming urge to beat him to death. There was an ominous pressure, and Johnny realized where his mistake was. He looked back to see Jason. There wasn't anything odd on the outside, but his eyes were black and red. "Oh shit."

White strips wrapped around Jason, and he went limp before falling to the ground.

"Who did that!" Johnny demanded.

"I did." A gruff voice said.

Johnny spun around. "Eraser Head!"

"Yes. Who are you?"

"Johnny Blaze. When I become a Hero, I'm going to take the name Ghost Rider... or Zarathos, one of the two."

"Hero?"

"Yeah. Jason and I were heading to U.A. when this guy came out of nowhere and tried taking Jason's Quirk. I-I used an ability and saw his sins. He was a monster." Johnny hid the fact about the man shrouded in shadows. He needed to ask Jason what to do about him.

"I know. I've been tracking him all summer." Eraser thought about this. "You two were able to stop him?"

"I guess so."

"Impressive. What do I need to know about... Jason?"

"His Quirk is dangerous. It's 'Hellfire Creation'."

"What!?"

"His Quirk. It's 'Hellfire Creation'. It's really dangerous. He loses his humanity the more he uses it."

"I see. Is it okay to let him go?"

"Wait! Have you been glaring at him this entire time?"

"Yes."

"Then stop. Jason won't hurt anyone so long as he keeps his humanity."

"What will happen when he loses his humanity?"

"The last time his humanity got too low he put a guy in the hospital after breaking all of his bones and giving him multiple third-degree burns. Last I checked the guy is still in a coma."

"And he wants to be a Hero?"

"Yes."

"When was the last time he lost his humanity?"

"Two years ago."

"I'll take you to U.A."

"Wait. Really?"

"You need to take the entrance exam, right?"

"Yeah, but what about Jason? This guy drained his strength."

"I'll get him to recovery girl."

"Can I come with you? I trust you, but someone did just try and kill him."

"No need to apologize. The paranoid live. I will let you follow me to the infirmary, but you need to get to the Exam."

"Thank you." Johnny said before grabbing his bike. He hopped on and followed Eraser Head towards the school.

When Jason woke up, he felt drained. "The hell happened?" He asked.

"Good, you're awake."

Jason jumped out of bed, spun around, and tried creating a Batarang, but failed. He dropped into a fighting stance instead.

"Good. You don't always rely on your Quirk."

"Eraser Head?"

"Yeah. How did you know my name?"

"My friend Midoriya Izuku is a huge Hero Fanboy. He has like thirteen books filled with notes on Heroes, or maybe it's fourteen now. You're in one of them."

"I see."

"What am I doing here? Where's parasite?"

"Para-who?"

"Parasite. The villain who attacked Johnny and I."

"He told you his name?"

"No. I saw his Quirk in action and dubbed him parasite."

"I see. You are very observant."

"I try not to rely on my Quirk. So, I have to be."

"What makes your Quirk so bad?"

"My Quirk isn't bad per say, but it can get out of control if I use it too much."

"What do you mean by out of control?"

"My Quirk has a very bad side to it. The more I use it, the more humanity I lose."

"Explain your loss of humanity."

"I become a berserker that can't be stopped. The last time I lost it... It took all of my friends to pull me off of the guy I was attacking."

"Why did you attack him?"

"He pushed one of my friends down the stairs." Jason clenched his hands into fists. "If my mom hadn't gotten there in time then Anna would be dead." His fists became black and red. "Last time I checked he was still in therapy and was going to need plastic surgery."

"Is there a reason why you mutilated him?"

"He nearly killed Anna!"

"But you took the law into your own hands."

"And I would do it again in a heartbeat."

'What is it about this kid? He has a fire that I haven't ever seen in a long time. It's almost like he knows how priceless true friends are and isn't willing to pay the price.'

"What time is it?" Jason asked. "I need to get to U.A. for the Entrance Exam."

"The Exam is over."

"WHAT! No! That can't be. I need to get into U.A."

"Please calm down Young Jason." A talking rodent said coming into the room.

"How hard did I hit my head?" He asked Eraser.

"You're not hallucinating Young Jason." The Rodent said. "I am Principle Nedzu of U.A.; am I a dog, a bear, a mouse? No one knows and I won't tell."

"Okay." He looked over at Eraser. "Do you see the talking rodent?"

"Do not disrespect Principle Nedzu."

"Okay. Just making sure."

"As I said Young Jason. You do not need to worry. You and Young Johnny have been given an exception on the Entrance Exam because you fought a Villain. That is equivalent to passing the Entrance Exam."

"What?" Jason asked. "Really? What about being labeled as Vigilante's?"

"We will say that that was self defense, and say that because you fought a Villain, you get into the Hero Course. Aizawa will watch you and if you show promise by the Sports Festival you will be allowed to stay, if not, then you will be transferred to General Education."

"What?" Jason asked.

"Congratulations Todd." Eraser Head said. "Welcome to U.A."

Chapter 4: Coming to terms with their Quirks.

Summary:

Jason and Izuku make some discoveries about their Quirks.

Chapter Text

AN: I don't own the characters used in this fic.

An: During the last chapter I gave three different stories about what happened when Anna got pushed down the stairs. Which one of them is true? Jason and his friends don't exactly trust people without getting to know them first, even if it's a hero. So that's why there were three different stories about what happened to Anna.

Jason left the infirmary thinking about what Principle Nedzu and Eraser Head had told him.

'Welcome to U.A. High.' Eraser said.

'Mr. Todd. Please. Keep quiet about getting into U.A. For the time being. We have to go over the Data gathered from the Entrance Exam before we decide who goes to which Hero course.'

'I understand. Would it be possible to find out how my friends did, or should I wait?'

'You can ask your friends how they did.' Eraser said. 'But there is one other thing we need to talk about?'

'What's that?'

'The circumstances that you and Blaze entered U.A. High are unusual. If we, the teachers, feel that you are not Hero material or that you two lied then you will both be Expelled. Do you understand?'

'Yes."

Jason thought about that. 'They think we might not be Hero material. They think we lied about fighting the Parasite Villain?'

"Heads up!" A voice yelled.

Jason turned around to see Elsa, Anna, Rogue, and Izuku running up to him, well, Rogue was flying.

Anna barreled into him fast enough that she would have knocked him down if he weren't prepared for it.

"OHMYGOSHAREYOUOKAY?JOHNNYTOLDUSTHATYOUGOTHURTANDWEWEREREALLYWORRIEDABOUTYOU!"

"Whoa, whoa. Anna. Slow down. Say that again, only slower.

"Okay. Oh my gosh are you okay? Johnny told us what happened, and we were really worried about you."

"I'm fine, I'm fine. You can thank Johnny for pulling me out of the fire."

Anna tackled Johnny. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"No problem." Johnny said.

"Is it true that you met Eraser Head?" Izuku asked.

"Yup."

"What was he like?"

"Dark, brooding, kind of angsty. Other than that, he was kind of cool."

"So cool!"

"Are you really okay?" Rogue asked.

"Yeah. The guy came out of nowhere and kept yelling at me to give him my Quirk. I felt my energy leave when he grabbed my leg, but now I'm back to normal." He said creating a Batarang. "See."

"That's good. Johnny said that your eyes went black and red for a second."

"I did see red, but I'm fine. Now tell me about the exam."

"Elsa and I couldn't tag team Robots!" Anna yelled. "They separated us!"

"I took control of a robot." Johnny said smugly.

"I broke a few robots." Rogue smiled. "It was kinda cathartic."

"I'm pretty sure I failed." Izuku said with a frown.

"Why do you say that?"

"Everyone kept taking the robots I was going to destroy! I was was only able to get eight points."

The friends told Jason what he had missed. How each robot had a number assigned to it, and the more you destroyed the more points you earned. Izuku told them how he saved Uraraka.

Jason chopped Izuku on the head. "Don't you realize that the Heroes probably took that into account? You want to be a Hero; therefore, you want to save people. I'm sure they didn't tell you that part of the test was to save people."

"Really?" Izuku rubbed his head.

"Yeah. Now why not tell me how 'One for All' did?"

Izuku got quiet. "I Uh... I broke my arms and legs."

"WHAT!"

"I did what All Might said to do, and I broke my arms and legs."

"What did he tell you to do?"

"That when I use 'One for All' I need to Squeeze my buttocks and yell "SMASH!" In my heart."

"Why?"

"I don't know. That's just what he said to do."

"No. I mean why didn't All Might teach you about controlling 'One for All'?"

"Oh. I don't know. I didn't know that I needed to control it. I was doing good until Uraraka needed held. The Robots weren't that hard to destroy, but when I saw Uraraka trapped I panicked and jumped at the robot with as much power as I could, and broke my legs, then I put all my strength to destroy the robot with a punch. If Uraraka hadn't used her Quirk to take my gravity away then I would have either destroyed my other arm, or smashed face first into the ground."

Jason wiped his face, and when he looked up, his eyes turn black and red.

"NO!" Johnny yelled turning into the rider.

Rogue grabbed Anna and Elsa and flew into the sky. "What the hell are you thinking?" She asked.

"A-are you that mad at me for not controlling 'One for All'?" Izuku asked.

"No." Jason said in a very normal voice.

"What!" Everyone yelled in confusion.

"How long have you been able to control it?" Rogue asked.

"Only a few months now, and I can only control it for a few minutes before I start seeing red."

"How do you "control" it?" Elsa asked.

"I Meditated and found out what the problem was."

"What was the problem?"

Two months ago.

Jason walked home after finishing homework at Izuku's apartment. He walked into his apartment, it was Thursday, so his mom was working a graveyard shift at the hospital. He walked into his room, and took the panels off his walls to create his 'Batcave', and opened his computer. He needed to get over his Quirk's downside.

He sat in the lotus position and began breathing in and out, in and out. He woke in his Mindscape, a world that is very much not Future Japan. He is sitting at a booth in 'Big Belly Burger', a Belly Flop Burger, Chocoriffic milk shake, fries, a cola, and a slice of apple pie; with a shadowy figure sitting across from him.

"What do you think you're doing?" The figure asked.

"What do you mean?" Jason asked, confused.

"What are you doing with your Quirk? Why aren't you using it?"

"Because I can't stop myself from going on a rampage when I use it."

"That's because you're using it wrong."

"How am I using it wrong?"

"What do you think about when you use your Quirk?"

"I go into fight or flight, and let it out."

"Why?"

"What?"

"Why do you go into fight or flight?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"I don't know. I just do."

"Might I suggest that you go into fight or flight because you are still stuck in the mindset from when Joker killed you?"

Jason went stock still as everything fell into place and he realized that he was. He'd been stuck in the mindset of fight or flight from the second he'd activated his Quirk for the first time. He thought it was just a part of his Quirk, but it wasn't. It was his body being flooded with adrenaline and going into fight or flight.

"You were 'Quirkless', and you were put into a situation where you were completely helpless, and you almost died, and you don't want to be put in that situation again, and you were put in that situation again. You have a Quirk that will help you NEVER be helpless again. When you activate your Quirk your body goes into Fight or Flight and make it so you aren't helpless, but you put too much power into it, and that's why you go batshit."

"That makes a lot of sense. How do I control my Quirk?"

"Before you use your Quirk remind yourself that you aren't helpless, that you don't need to go into fight or flight. That should help you control your Quirk."

"Okay. Will I ever get to see your true form, or is this you true form?"

"You aren't ready for my true form. Now, eat up."

Jason ate and left his mindscape with the taste of his favorite meal on his lips. He walked to the kitchen and fixed dinner for him and his mom for when she got home.

"So it's because you connected your death with your Quirk, and whenever you activate your Quirk your body goes inta fight or flight and it causes you ta push too much of yer Quirk out." Rogue asked.

"More or less."

"So did seeing Anna like that make you panic and go into Fight or Flight and you just lost your shit?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah. So I needed to learn control."

"What does your control give you?" Elsa asked.

"Enhanced strength, speed, and agility."

"Wow." Anna said. "Do you think you will be able to access it without seeing red anytime soon?"

"Maybe. I have to meditate everyday to keep my emotions in check."

"So cool." Izuku said.

Jason turned to Izuku as his eyes went back to normal. "Throw a punch at me."

Izuku looked startled but dropped into a fighting stance before throwing a punch at Jason.

Jason spun out of the way, and tripped Izuku before grabbing his collar and pulling him off his feet and throwing him to the floor. "Tell me something. Why was I able to do that?"

"Because you have more experience than me." Izuku groaned.

"True, but also wrong. Get up and do it again."

Izuku got up again and threw a second punch.

Jason grabbed Izuku and flipped him over his back before holding his foot over his face. "Why was I able to do that?"

"You are going to an MMA Dojo on the weekends?"

"I am, but that's the wrong answer. Get up and try again."

Izuku threw another punch that Jason caught and extended before placing his arm on his leg.

"Jason stop!" Anna and Elsa yelled.

"Just tell him already!" Johnny yelled.

"I'm not breaking his limbs. He already did that. He needs to figure out what I'm doing, by himself."

"You are controlling the fight!" Izuku yelled.

Jason let go of Izuku's arm. "Yes. I wasn't trying to hurt you, but I needed you to figure it out before you went and hurt yourself again. You need to control the fight, your body, to control your Quirk."

"I get it. I need to learn how to use 'One for All' before I use it again."

"Meet me at Dagoba beach tomorrow."

"Okay." Izuku said.

They went their separate ways for the night.

Jason walked to Dagoba beach and shouted.

"Jason?" Rogue asked from behind him.

Jason spun around. It was a testament to how zoned out he was that he didn't notice Rogue following him.

"Are you okay?"

"No. I didn't mean to hurt Izuku, but he needed to learn that he now has a responsibility to survive."

"Hey. I know. I get it. Izuku hasn't gone through what we have gone through. You had it worse than any of us. Johnny had Crash and Mona, I had my Mama or Professor X, and Anna and Elsa at least had shelter and people to look after them, but you. You had it worse than any of us. You lost your family at the age of six and had to live in hell for three years before you were given to a woman who exploited you for your skills. When you got out of it you were trained to fight criminals. You were an emotionally scarred twelve-year-old, and you were taught how to fight. Then you were killed three years later. You had it worse than any of us. In fact, I think that the reason you chose us was because we had something in common. Johnny lost his parents, and got adopted, my mama exploited me for my abilities, Anna and Elsa were left alone, and they both were killed. You chose us because we can relate with your pain."

Jason thought about that. He hadn't thought about why he chose them, but Jason had felt a connection with Rogue and Elsa, but now that he thought about it, he had a connection with Anna and Johnny as well.

"Ya know that it's not unmanly to ask for help right?" Rogue said.

Jason looked at her.

All Might and Principle Nedzu at U.A. High

All Might looked at Principle Nedzu.

"What seems to be the problem Toshinori?"

"Sensei. I think I made a mistake."

"What mistake?"

"Do you remember ten years ago. When I fought that villain?"

"Come now Toshinori. You and I both know that you have fought many villains in the last ten years."

"Of course, Sensei. I fought a villain with a Space/Time Quirk."

"oh, yes. I remember him now. His Quirk ended up backfiring after you hit him with an ultimate attack."

"Yes. I think that that fight caused an anomaly that created an alternate timeline."

"What makes you say this?"

"Young Midoriya's friends told me that they are from different universes and arrived here ten years ago and have memories of alternate universe's as well as memories from this universe."

"I see." Principle Nedzu said. "This is most troubling."

"How so Sensei?"

"Why were these children sent here? What is their purpose? Are they here to help us or hinder us? These are only a few of the questions we need answered."

"Do you really think that they are here to hinder us?"

"No, but Shōta has told me something troubling."

"What is it?"

"Young Jason's Quirk is 'Hellfire Creation'. A dangerous Quirk for sure. I think we need to keep an eye on young Mr. Todd."

"How will you do that without alerting him to your intentions?"

"I will bring her in."

"But Sensei... do you really think that's wise?"

"So long as she has a handle on her Quirk, I think that it will be fine."

The next morning.

Jason and Izuku met at Dagoba Municipal beach park the next morning.

"So, what are we going to do this morning?" Izuku asked.

"First off. I wanted to apologize for yesterday. I was so caught up in the fact that I didn't want you to make the same mistakes that I did, that I let that fear control me."

"You were afraid that I'd get killed, weren't you?"

"Yeah. I've made mistakes, and I don't want to see my friends make those same mistakes. You, Johnny, Rogue, Elsa, Anna. I never really had friends when I lived in Gotham, and now I do, and I don't want to lose you guys. You guys are more of a family than I've ever had... well except for my mom. She's great and I wouldn't want anything to happen to her."

"I understand, but can you really teach me how to control my Quirk?"

"I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that you guys live to see your eighteenth birthdays."

Izuku gulped.

"Now. Show me how your Quirk Works."

Izuku went through the steps until his arm glowed with red lines.

"Hold it!" Jason yelled.

Izuku stayed where he was.

"Pull your power back."

"What? How?"

"Act like you're going to shut it off, but don't. Hold it until you barely feel the power coursing through your body."

Izuku focused on his Quirk until he barely felt it anymore.

"Do you just barely feel your power?"

"Yeah." Izuku grunted. "I don't know how much longer I can hold it."

"Okay. Let it go."

Izuku punched and there was a pressure wave that knocked him back.

"What the!" Jason yelled with his hands on his head. "That was awesome!" He yelled before he started laughing.

Izuku looked at his friend like he'd grown a second head. "How did you know how to do that?"

"When I trained with Batman, he taught me how to refine my fighting skills. That's what he told me to do. I figured that it might work for you too."

"That doesn't make any sense!" Izuku yelled. "You were learning how to control your strength not power."

"Wrong. I was learning how to control my rage."

"What! How are your Rage and my Quirk the same thing?"

"They aren't. I took a gamble to see if it would work for you like it worked for me. If you would have told me that you couldn't, then I would have tried something else."

Izuku didn't know how to feel about that.

"Okay. Let's try that again but let a little more power through."

"When will we stop?"

"We will stop when you say it's enough."

"Okay." Izuku clenched his hand into a fist and let his power flow before pulling it back until he felt it like the pinprick of a needle, and he let it fly creating an even bigger pressure wave.

"Again!" Jason yelled.

Izuku let more power into the punch creating a furrow in the sand.

"Again!"

Izuku let more power in and punched, but it felt like he pulled something when he punched towards the ocean. "Ahh!" He yelled as he fell to his knees and his arm reflexively went to his shoulder.

"Izuku!" Jason yelled before running to his side.

"My shoulder hurts!" Izuku said through clenched teeth.

"I think your shoulder is dislocated, but let's go talk to my mom, and see what she says."

They made it to Jason's apartment and Sheila took a look at Izuku's arm.

"It was just dislocated." She said. "Jason, do you want to help me?"

"Yeah."

Jason took Izuku's arm in his hands and waited for his mom to tell him what to do.

"Okay. On the count of three I want you to lift Izuku's arm."

"Okay."

"One, two, three."

Jason lifted Izuku's arm and they heard a popping sound.

"Ahh!" Izuku cried out in pain.

"Here." Sheila said waving her hand over Izuku's shoulder.

The pain slowly ebbed away. "Thank you."

"You're very welcome. How did training go?"

"It went well. Well at least until I dislocated my shoulder."

"Yeah. That sucks. I would tell you no more training today but knowing Jason he wouldn't stop training even if he broke all four limbs."

Izuku flinched at that.

If Sheila noticed, then she didn't show that she knew.

"That was good." Jason said. "I'd say that you are anywhere from three to five percent in control of your Quirk."

"That's not good enough." Izuku clenched his fists. "I need to have better control now."

"Have you heard of meditation?"

"You mean controlling your breathing?"

"That's one part of it. Batman tried getting me to do it to control my rage, but it didn't work."

"Then why do you think I can do better than you?"

"Because. You already do it."

"I do?"

"In a way. Whenever you mutter to yourself. That's a form of meditation. I'm going to show you something different."

Jason put a candle on the table and lit it with his finger. "Look at the flame. Concentrate on it."

Izuku looked at the flame.

"Concentrate on the flame. Concentrate on the heat. Concentrate on the light"

Izuku woke up, but he didn't remember going to bed. "Where am I?"

'Welcome young Midoriya. It is unusual for you to seek us out so early.'

"What do you mean?"

'One for All' is a Quirk that is passed on to a new vessel after time has passed, and each vessel seeks us out eventually.'

'What happens when they search you out?"

'We teach the Vessel how to use one for all.'

"Wil you teach me how to use one hundred percent of your power?"

'We will give you the tools, but it is up to you to reach the peak.'

"What do I have to do?"

'First. You must never use this power for personal gain. Only use it to protect yourself and others.'

Izuku nodded.

'Second. You cannot use one hundred percent of this power unless absolutely necessary. ' One for All' is an enormously powerful Quirk and could cause untold damage.'

Izuku gulped.

'Third. You were chosen because you have great potential to be a Hero. Your heart is pure, and your mind is sharp, but remember that being a Hero means that you have to follow the laws. Just know that sometimes it is better to ask forgiveness than permission.'

Izuku nodded.

'Finally. You have people who have more experience than you. Your teachers and friends. Listen to what they have to say.'

"How did you know about my friends?"

'Toshinori was the vessel before you.'

"Oh. I guess that makes sense."

'Take what we have taught you and become the Hero that Toshinori knew you could become.'

"I will."

Izuku blinked awake and saw Jason staring at the flame.

"Jason?" He asked.

Jason didn't move.

Jason's meditation.

"Why did I nearly kill the kid who pushed Anna down the stairs?"

'Did you not experience blackouts when you saw red before figuring your Quirk out?'

"Yes." Jason said unsure of why that was important.

'Those blackouts were when I take over. Your rage was and is so perfect that it offers me the chance to breach the barrier that keeps me from leaving.'

"What barrier? What are you saying?"

'I am a spirit that was bonded to you to give you your Quirk. Had you chosen the other Quirks then you would have been bonded to a Spirit of shadows or a Spirit of hellfire.'

"So, you're saying that I'm possessed like Johnny?"

'In a way.'

"But what about what that guy said? The one who sent me here, and gave me my Quirk?"

'He lied. Big shocker.'

Jason looked at his Quirk in shock.

'I know that you don't want to hear this, but you and your team aren't some grandiose group meant to protect this world. You guys are the equivalent of a clean-up crew, cleaning up his mess.'

Jason looked at his Quirk in disbelief. "What!"

'He told you that you were meant to protect this world. Right?'

"Yeah."

'Nope. Sorry. He made a mistake fifteen years ago and he needed someone to clean up his mess because he didn't want to admit he messed up.'

Jason looked devastated.

'The way I see it, you have three options. One, just do what the guy wants you to do and clean up his mess.' He put one finger up. 'Two, you take a stroll off of the U.A. High roof.' He put a second finger up. 'Or three.' He put a third finger up. 'We work together and prove that we aren't a clean-up crew.'

Jason looked at his Quirk. "Tell me what to do."

Reality.

Izuku was getting worried about Jason. It had been ten minutes since he came out of his meditation and Jason was still in his own meditation.

He was about to call for Sheila when there was a flash.

He looked over and saw someone standing in Jason's spot wearing a pair of black boots, with black cargo pants, and a black shirt with a red bat in the center of his chest. On his head was a red helmet with glowing white eyes. "J-Jason?" He asked.

The woman was sitting in her office filling out paperwork when she got the call.

"Hello?" She answered her phone.

"Ah. Hello Black Chan." Principle Nedzu said from the other end.

"Sensei." She said.

"I was wondering if you still do Hero consultations."

"Yes. It's one of the services my organization offers."

"How is your business doing?"

"It's doing well. Thank you for asking."

"I was wondering if you could sit in on the first week of class with a few new students and give us a complete rundown on their skills, mentality, and anything of interest."

"May I ask why?"

"These particular students are an interesting group. Has your Quirk improved since last we talked?"

"Yes Sensei. My Quirk has increased to being able to see the most likely course an individual's life will lead."

"Excellent, excellent, and what of your telepathy?"

"I have improved greatly. I haven't had a panic attack in the last two years."

"That's good. I will send you the files on the students now."

"Thank you, Sensei."

"You're most welcome Jean."

Jean hung up and opened up her email where she saw five files. She opened each of them and looked at the five students.

'Jason Peter Todd.' She said to herself before reading his file.

While she was reading, she got a flash.

Jason looked up in horror as the man touched his middle, and final finger to the woman's throat, and she began to decay.

"MOM!" Jason yelled as he struggled against whoever was pinning him to the floor.

"Fight." Were his mother's last words.

Jason's eyes went red, and Jean was forced back to reality.

"What the hell?" She gasped. "I can't let that happen. No child should be forced to watch their parent die."

She quickly looked through the other files and had psychic visions for each of them.

Johnny was forced to watch as his mom was forced to kill his dad.

Rogue was forced to drain her mother's Quirk leaving her in a coma.

Anna and Elsa were forced to fight their parents and ended up killing them.

"What the hell is wrong? This isn't right. I need to stop this."

She called Principle Nedzu and told him about what she had seen.

Jason looked at Izuku with glowing white eyes.

Izuku gulped and stared back. "J-Jason. Is that you?"

Jason's helmet disappeared to show his face. "Yeah. It's me."

"What happened during your meditation?"

"I learned more about my Quirk."

"Really? What did you learn?" Izuku asked, pulling his notebook on Jason out of the back of his pants, to start writing.

"I was lied to when I was given my Quirk. When I see red, I get a boost because of all of the rage my Quirk accumulates. That's why I black out."

"Um... Okay. How do you explain last year?"

Jason thought about last year.

Anna, Elsa, Jason, Johnny, Izuku, and Rogue were heading to the mall for Anna's Birthday.

"So?" Johnny asked. "What do you think Anna is going to want to do today?"

"My money is on Build-a-bear." Jason said.

"I think that she will want to go to the petting zoo." Izuku said.

"I think that she will want to get Froyo." Johnny added his vote.

"I think that she will want to spend some of her Birthday money." Elsa said.

"Why not all of the above?" Rogue asked.

"Yeah!" Anna said jumping up and down before turning and running to the stairs. "Oops. Sorry." She said when she bumped into someone.

"Get out of the way kid!" The person she bumped into yelled before shoving her down the stairs.

The others watched in horror as Anna rolled down the stairs, running to catch her.

When she hit the floor, they saw that she was bleeding from her head, her left arm and right leg were bent at awkward angles.

"What the hell did you do that for!" Johnny demanded.

"She was in my way." The guy said.

Jason jumped at the guy and punched him in the stomach before he kneed him in the face and kicked him down the stairs. He jumped after him and grabbed him. He slammed his head into the ground before he realized that someone was pulling him away. He threw them off and continued attacking the guy for hurting Anna. He wanted to make him pay... No. He needed to make him pay.

There were three sets of hands on him now, and they dragged him off the guy before he was pulled into the air.

"Shh. Calm down sugar." Rogue said in a calm soothing voice. "Calm down. It's okay. Shh, shh."

Jason calmed down and slumped in Rogue's arms.

"That's it." Rogue said before flying them to the ground.

Jason felt Rogue lay him on the ground. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest, and tears leaking out through his closed eyes. He didn't want to see Anna die. She was the youngest of their group and looked up to them like siblings rather than friends.

He felt something wet and sticky touch his arm and looked over to see Anna bleeding while Elsa used her Quirk to try and keep Anna cold enough that she could keep her sister from bleeding out.

"Did you see what he did to him?" A man asked.

"How can a child be so violent?" A woman asked.

"His parents are to blame." Another woman said accusingly.

"Hey!" Johnny yelled at the people talking. "Shut the fuck up! You have no idea what you're talking about! Jason at least did something while you pieces of shit just stood by."

Jason closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he was in a hospital room.

"What... happened?" He asked.

"Jason!" A female voice yelled.

He looked over, dazed. His eyes focused on his mom. "Mom? What happened?"

Sheila Todd ran a hand through her hair. "I only know what Johnny, Rogue, Izuku, and Elsa told me." She said.

"What did they say?"

"They said that you sort of blacked out and attacked the man who pushed Anna down the stairs. They said that it took Johnny, Rouge, and Izuku to pull you off before Rogue pulled you into the air. Rogue said that you calmed down after that."

Jason looked at his mom. "I don't remember what happened. The last thing I remember is Anna... oh shit! Is Anna okay? Where is she? What happened?"

"Anna's fine. She is resting. It was a simple procedure. Izuku called me while Rogue called the police. I was at lunch with some colleagues and I raced over. I healed her and by the time the ambulance got there they rushed the three of you here."

"Three of us?" Jason asked confused.

"You, Anna, and the man you attacked."

Jason looked at his mom. "I only reacted to him pushing Anna down the stairs."

"I know, but your Quirk scared a lot of people. I don't want you using your Quirk unless you have to."

"I only use it when I have to."

"What about that guy?" Sheila pointed at the door.

Jason looked at her. "Okay. So, I blacked out, but he pushed Anna down the stairs and could have killed her."

"You're missing the point. You blacked out and beat a fully grown man to near death! He will have to do Physical therapy and multiple surgeries to repair the damaged skin. You melted his flesh!"

"I did what?"

"You melted his flesh Jason. I don't want you using your Quirk until you have a better handle on it."

"Fine! It's not like I even need to use my Quirk anyways."

"Thank you."

"I don't know." Jason said. "I just have to figure it out."

"Do you really think that you should be wearing something like that with your mom in the next room?" Izuku asked.

The suit disappeared leaving Jason standing in his clothes.

"Um?" Izuku asked. "Doesn't you Quirk burn everything it touches?"

"Flame proof clothes. My mom bought them after the Sludge Villain incident."

"Oh, Okay."

"So. Do you want to keep practicing with 'One for All'?"

"Yes. I need to keep practicing to get better."

"Then let's meet at the Beach tomorrow."

Izuku nodded and left.

Jason went to his room. He had a lot to think about.

That night he left his house. He had to rage over what he had learned.

The next morning

Izuku met Jason at Dagoba and saw that he had been there for a while.

Jason was using two guns for target practice.

"Um... Jason. You know that handguns are illegal right?" He asked.

The guns disappeared and were replaced with a Katana and a crowbar. "I can use these if you prefer."

"You don't want to get arrested. Unless you do?"

"No, but if I need to then I want to be able to use them."

"Okaaay. Anyway. I am here to train."

"Yeah. You need to gain as much control as possible before we go to U.A."

"I will train as hard as I can to get as strong as I can."

"And I will push you to your limits."

They started training, and Jason did push Izuku to, and past his limits.

The next week was rough. Izuku worked hard and pushed himself. He would only stop when he pulled or dislocated something.

The one time that he actually hurt himself was on Friday when his arms felt sore at the bone.

He didn't know what was wrong, but when they went to Sheila, she said that he probably fractured his arms.

They took Izuku to the hospital and took some X-rays.

While they were waiting for the X-rays to develop, they called Inko.

Inko came to the hospital and asked if Izuku was okay.

"Izuku is fine." Sheila said. "He had some hairline fractures, but they were easy enough to heal."

"Izuku?" Inko asked. "Were you training?"

"Yes. I need to learn to control my Quirk, so I don't break my body again."

Inko looked shocked and surprised. "Is that why you're training?"

"Yes. Jason has been training me in controlling my Quirk, and he has helped me. I am slowly learning to control it."

"Izuku is right Auntie Inko. He has gone from not being able to control his Quirk to using between five to seven percent of his Quirk. It may not seem like much but considering that he's a late bloomer it's actually progress."

"Th-thank you Jason, but please don't let Izuku hurt himself."

"I won't." Jason said.

That night everyone received an envelope with a disk inside and met at Anna and Elsa's house to watch their video's together.

They activated their disks one at a time, and a hero appeared in each disk.

Izuku's, Rogue's, Anna's, and Elsa's had All Might doing the recording.

All Might welcomed them to U.A. High with his usual enthusiasm.

Jason's and Johnny's had Eraser Head.

Eraser Head was less enthusiastic.

"Todd/Blaze. You have been accepted into U.A. High as a result of your fighting the Villain known as Parasite. However. If we find out that you lied to get in, or if we find that you do not possess the skill required of a Hero, or if you show villainous tendencies you will be kicked out of U.A. and put on probation for the foreseeable future. If these are acceptable... welcome to your Hero Academia."

After they watched the video Jason looked at the disk. "He's bluffing."

"WHAT!" Anna, Elsa, Izuku, and Rogue yelled.

Johnny looked at Jason. "How can you tell?"

"Do you really think that the Heroes would risk us becoming Villains?"

"No. I guess not."

"He's bluffing. Just watch."

The weekend was stressful as the friends waited for Monday. They were excited, but also anxious about the start of their Hero course.

Monday.

The friends met in the U.A. courtyard and headed towards their class. They were all in class 1-A and were excited to see what their first official day of class held in store for them.

Chapter 5: Day 1

Summary:

It's the first day of school, and lines are drawn. They take the assessment test, and Jason doesn't like what he sees in Minetta.

Chapter Text

AN: I don't own the Characters used in this fic.

As the friends walked into class 1A, they saw a tall kid with glasses telling Bakugo to take his feet off the desk.

"Who do you think you are!" Bakugo demanded. "Telling me what to do?"

"I am Tenya Iida, and I attended Somei Private Academy." The kid with glasses said.

"Somei!?!" Bakugo asked. "So, you're part of the damn elite? I guess that I'll have fun crushing you."

"What!" Iida said. "Crushing? What do you mean?"

Jason grabbed Bakugo by the leg that was on the desk and lifted as high as it would go, then some, and dropped it with a crash that drew everyone's attention. "Shut the hell up Bakugo. The only thing you're crushing is my patience."

Bakugo glared at him. "How the hell did you make it into the hero course? I didn't see you at the exam!"

"I was in another lot." Jason said. "I got 98 points. How many did you get?"

Bakugo went quiet with rage.

"I thought so. Now sit down and shut up!"

Iida noticed Izuku standing in the doorway.

"You-you're..."

Everyone looked at Izuku.

"Oh, um..." Izuku stammered.

"Good morning!" Iida said before stalking up to Izuku. "I am from Somei Private Academy. My name is..."

"I heard!" Izuku yelled a little loudly and backed away. "I'm Izuku. Nice to meet you, Iida."

"Izuku, you realized there was something more to the practical exam, didn't you?"

"What?" Izuku asked.

"I had no idea... I misjudged you. I hate to admit it, but you are better than me."

"Um. Sorry. I actually didn't realize anything until after the exam when I talked to Jason. He's the one who told me about the hidden objective."

A girl came into the classroom. "Oh, that curly hair! You're the plain-looking one!"

"AHH!" Izuku yelled causing Johnny to burst into laughter. "That's Izuku for you. He sees a cute girl and freezes up."

"Hey!" Anna yelled.

"You want to repeat that hon?" Rogue asked with the thick accent she got when she was upset.

"What does that make us?" Elsa asked.

"I um..." Johnny said. "I didn't mean you guys. I mean... you're cute and all, but Izuku grew up with you. I meant other cute girls." Johnny looked at Jason. "A little help over here?"

"Hey." Jason said holding his hands up. "You made your bed. Now you need to sleep in it."

Jason felt something ominous, ever since accepting his Quirk fully he had been able to sense negative emotions, and he felt a lot coming from Bakugo. His ire was directed at Izuku. Jason looked over and saw that the girl was still talking to Midoriya. She was saying something about orientation, but he felt another emotion. It was directed at Anna. It was lust. Or something akin to it. He looked around and found the source. A kid with purple balls on his head instead of hair.

"Hey." The kid said to Anna. "How old are you? Maybe we could go out and..."

"Not on your life maggot!" Jason yelled punching the kid into a wall. "Keep your slimy mitts away from Anna or I'll burn them off!"

"And we'll help." Johnny said, the commotion making Elsa and Rogue stop their assault.

"What was he trying to do?" Rogue asked.

"Hey." A voice said from outside the class. "Go somewhere else if you want to make friends."

Izuku, Iida, and Ochaco looked outside and saw a man in a sleeping bag.

Jason went and looked outside. "Eraser head? What are you doing in the hallway? In a sleeping bag?"

"As of today, you may call me Aizawa Sensei." Eraser head said. "This is a Hero course after all."

Everyone looked at him as he climbed out of his sleeping bag.

"Okay." Eraser said. "It took you eight seconds before you guys got quiet. Time is limited, and you are not rational enough."

The class got quiet.

"Hello class." Eraser said. "I am your homeroom teacher, Shouta Aizawa. Nice to meet you."

Everyone looked at him as he pulled a gym uniform out of his sleeping bag.

"I know that this is kind of sudden but put on a uniform and meet on the field."

Meanwhile

All Might was in the library reading a manual. He got worried after reading that the U.A. Didn't follow the beaten path when it came to teaching, and that Aizawa had expelled his entire class the year before.

On the field.

"A Quirk assessment test?!" Everyone but Rogue, Johnny, and Jason yelled.

"Wait." Ochaco said. "What about the entrance ceremony? The orientation?"

"If you're going to be a Hero, you don't have time for such leisurely events." Eraser said. "U.A.'s selling point is how unrestricted its school traditions are. That's also how the teachers run their classes." He said turning to look at them. "You guys have been doing these since Junior High right?" He held up his phone. "We were sent your physical fitness tests while you weren't allowed to use your Quirks. Now I want you to show me what your Quirk can do. Bakugo. You finished the entrance Exam with the highest score. So, you'll go first." He tossed Bakugo a softball.

Bakugo looked at Eraser.

"What about Jason?" Iida asked. "He said that he scored a 98 on the practical exam."

"He lied. Jason didn't score on the practical Exam because he got into U.A. High due to subduing a Villain. In the process he was injured and missed the Exam. We, the teachers, determined that his skill was sufficient enough to enter U.A. High without taking the Exam."

Everyone looked at Jason in shock.

Bakugo looked at him with sheer hatred.

"So, as I see it." Eraser said. "Jason will go last because he didn't take the practical exam."

"I-I see Sensei." Iida said with a bow.

Bakugo walked into the softball ring.

"So long as you stay in the ring anything goes." Eraser said. "Now. Give it everything you've got."

Bakugo stretched. "Well then..." Bakugo blasted the softball away while shouting: "...DIE!!!!".

The others became excited.

"That looks fun." One of them said.

Jason felt a spike of malicious joy.

"If you think this is fun." Eraser said. "The one in last place will be expelled."

Everyone looked shocked.

Johnny, Rogue, Anna, and Elsa looked at Jason who shook his head once.

"Welcome to the Hero Course." Aizawa said with a malicious grin.

"This isn't fair!" Ochaco exclaimed.

"Life isn't fair. Natural Disasters, Big accidents, selfish villains, calamities whose time or place can't be predicted. Japan is covered in unfairness. Heroes are the ones who reverse those situations. If you wanted to hang out with your friends after school, too bad. For the next three years U.A. will give you one hardship after another. Go beyond. Plus, Ultra. Now. Come on and overcome it with all you've got."

Everyone put their game faces on. It was time to get serious.

Test one. The fifty-meter dash.

For the fifty-meter dash everyone was paired up.

Jason and Johnny.

Jason let his eyes glow black and red enhancing his natural speed and dropped into a running stance.

Johnny dropped into a running stance and became the Rider. He had enhanced stamina and agility, but that was nothing compared to Jason's speed.

"On your Mark..."

Jason and Johnny got ready to run.

"Get set..."

They tensed.

"Go."

The two teens took off running and crossed the finish line neck and neck.

"4.50 Seconds."

"We tied." Jason said.

"Cool." Johnny said. "But if I'd had my bike then you would have lost."

"But you didn't."

"But if I did."

Anna and Elsa

Anna and Elsa walked to the starting line.

Anna drenched the ground with a layer of water, and Elsa froze it before creating a pair of skates for each of them.

"On your Mark..."

They got ready.

"Get set..."

They tensed.

"Go!"

The sisters took off and crossed the finish line with Elsa in the lead and Anna a millisecond behind her.

"3.50 seconds."

"3.51 seconds."

"That was pretty good." Jason said.

"Elsa has always been a better skater." Anna said.

"You beat our time." Johnny said.

"With Elsa's help." Anna blushed.

The friends turned to watch Rogue and the kid with the purple hair.

Rogue and Mineta.

Rogue walked up with the weird kid with the purple hair ogling her.

"You-you're so hot!" The kid said practically drooling.

"Quit ogling me. In fact. Quit ogling girls in general and you might find someone who likes you."

"On your Mark..."

Rogue waited for the right moment.

"Get set..."

She felt something touch her foot and looked down. She saw a line of purple orbs connecting her and Mineta.

"Go."

Rogue walked towards the finish line.

"WHAT!" Mineta yelled. "BUT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN AWESOME QUIRK THAT WOULD HAVE CARRIED ME TO VICTORY!"

A Batarang cut the orbs connecting the two and Rogue flew towards the finish line.

"10.00 seconds."

Mineta ran across the finish line.

"15.39 seconds."

"It's not fair!" Mineta yelled. He failed to see the two guys and three girls come up behind him.

Eraser head saw them move in. "Next event!" He called out.

Test two: grip strength.

Each student was given a handgrip strength test.

Jason

Jason let his eyes glow and he pulled on the handle and looked at his screen when it beeped.

200 kilograms

There was some kid who had a grip strength of 540 kilograms. 'Cool.' Jason thought. 'I might want to fight him sometime.'

Johnny

Johnny became the Rider and pulled the handle on his test and looked at the screen when there was a beep.

300 kilograms.

'Hm. I wonder how I did compared to Jason?'

Rogue

Rogue pulled the handle on her grip strength test and broke it. "Um. Sensei." She said holding hers up. "I need a new grip strength test. I broke mine."

Aizawa handed her another one. "Be careful with this one."

"Okay. I will. Sorry." She said as she pulled on hers with just enough strength.

700 kilograms.

Aizawa looked at Rouge confused. 'Just how strong is she?'

Elsa

Elsa wasn't as strong as the others, she was strong, but not as strong as her friends. Even Izuku was stronger than her.

She looked over at Izuku. "Hey Izuku. What's your grip strength?"

"Um. 77 kilograms." Midoriya said sheepishly. "What's yours?"

"55." Elsa said glumly. "Hey Anna. What's yours?"

Anna looked at hers. "40." She said looking put out.

"Well we tried our best." Izuku said.

Test three: standing long jump.

They made their way to the standing long jump and waited their turn.

Jason

Jason took his stance and let his eyes glow before he sent all of his strength to his legs and pushed off. He landed halfway outside the sandbox.

Johnny

Johnny became the rider and jumped landing just outside the sandbox.

Rogue

Rouge jumped, flew, and landed five feet outside the sandbox.

Elsa

Elsa jumped and landed in the middle of the sandbox. "Dang it." she said.

Anna landed just barely behind her.

Izuku jumped next and landed a few feet in front of where Elsa landed.

Test four: repeated side steps

The went to the next test which was the repeated side steps.

They were supposed to step to the left before stepping back to the right for one minute.

Jason

Jason took his stance and began. He didn't even need to use his Quirk for this test.

One minute later he stopped.

125

Johnny

136

Rogue

120

Elsa

Anna

Izuku

Test five: Ball throw.

They made their way back to the softball field.

Jason

Jason let his Quirk completely take over covering him from head to toe leaving him in the suit.

He could hear everyone talking about his Quirk.

He pulled his arm back and threw it letting his Quirk enhance his strength to the max.

He threw the ball as hard as he could.

550 meters.

Johnny

Johnny walked up and took the ball. He changed into the Rider and launched the ball as far as he could.

617 meters.

Rogue

Rogue walked up and took the ball before pulling back and throwing it as far as she could

880 meters

Everyone looked at her in shock.

Elsa

Elsa took the ball and threw it with a bit of ice magic to give it some more distance.

76 meters.

Anna followed Elsa and threw her ball.

50 meters.

Izuku

Izuku walked up and took the ball.

'I have to use 'One for All' now. If I don't, I could be put in last place if I don't.'

"Don't do it!" Jason called out to him. "Remember. You can access your Quirk without hurting yourself! Concentrate! Don't worry about anything but throwing that. You have more than enough power."

"Shut up Todd!" Bakugo yelled. "Let this Quirkless nobody fail on his own!"

"Quirkless?" Iida asked. "Midoriya is not Quirkless. Did you not see him at the entrance exam?"

"What?" Bakugo asked. "What are you talking about!"

Izuku let 'One for All' power up and let it roll up his finger before putting 100% of the power into his finger letting it fly as far as it could go.

705.3

Izuku clenched his hand into a fist, clenching his teeth when the pain of his broken finger, and looked at Jason with an intensity in his eyes that Jason knew all too well.

'I won't stop! I won't stop trying to become a Hero!'

"WHAT THE HELL!" Bakugo yelled before charging Izuku.

Jason, Johnny, and Rogue ran after him while Anna and Elsa used their Quirks to tag team and freeze the ground, making it slick.

Jason threw out a black and red line that caught Bakugo's arm and tossed a chain to Johnny who cracked the end towards Bakugo grabbing his other arm.

Rogue flew over to Izuku and carried him into the air.

Cloths wrapped themselves around Jason, Johnny, and Bakugo.

"These are weapons of capture." Eraser head said. They are made of Carbon fiber woven together with metal wire made of a special alloy. Now calm down, and don't make me use my Quirk. I have dry eyes."

Eraser head let them go, and Jason and Johnny let go of Bakugo.

Rogue flew Izuku back to the rest of the class.

Test six: sit ups

They had one minute to do as many sit ups as possible.

Jason

Johnny held Jason's feet while Jason did his sit ups.

Thanks to the fact that Jason had good core strength from the alternate universe, and from the MMA Dojo in this universe, he was able to out preform everyone.

200 sit ups

Johnny

Jason and Johnny switched places and Johnny began doing sit ups.

120 sit ups

Anna

Elsa held Anna's feet while she did her sit ups.

72 sit ups.

Then the sisters switched places and Elsa began doing her sit ups

80 sit ups.

Rogue

Rouge didn't get paired up with Mineta for the sit up portion of the test, and she was thankful for that...

Until the kid with the electric Quirk started trying to flirt with her.

"You want to get a girlfriend, then don't waste time flirting. Just go and talk to them."

"Oh." The kid said. "My name is Denki Kaminari."

"My name is Anna Marie Darkhölme."

"Um... hi."

"Hello Kaminari. Now let's finish this test."

Kaminari held Rogue's feet while she did her sit ups.

150 sit ups.

Izuku

Izuku was paired with Ochaco.

He held her feet so she could do her Sit ups before they alternated where she held his feet.

He tried to push the pain of his finger to the back of his mind, but he couldn't' he let it drive him.

150 sit ups.

Test seven: Seated toe touch

The next test was the seated toe touch.

They sat against the wall and tried touching their toes to test their flexibility.

They all touched their toes.

Test eight: long distance run.

They went outside to run the long-distance run.

Jason and Johnny dropped into running stances and waited for Anna to tell them to go.

"On your Mark... get set... GO!"

The two took off running until they got to the end of their run.

Johnny had slowly pulled ahead throughout the race and crossed the makeshift finish line first.

Jason crossed two seconds after him, but still at an impressive speed.

After the long-distance run Aizawa released the results.

"Here are the results of the test."

2nd Place: Shoto Todoroki

3rd Place: Anna Marie Darkhölme

4th Place: Katsuki Bakugo

25th Place: Minoru Mineta

"WHAT!" Mineta shouted. "NO! I CAN'T BE EXPELLED! I JUST CAN'T BE! THERE ARE SO AMNY THINGS I HAVEN'T DONE YET!"

"Well maybe if you didn't try and cheat." Rogue said.

"Maybe if you weren't a disgusting pervert!" Jason snapped.

"Enough!" Eraser said. "I was lying about the expulsion. It was a rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your Quirks."

"WHAT!" Most everyone yelled in unison.

Anna, Elsa, Izuku, Jason, Johnny, Momo, and Rogue were the few that didn't freak out. Izuku because he was too busy concentrating on the pain and relieved that he wasn't going to be expelled.

The others began talking amongst each other.

"There are handouts of the curriculum, and such in the classroom so when you get back, look them over." Eraser said walking away. He stopped by Izuku. "Have the old lady in the nurse's office fix you. Tomorrow will be packed with even more rigorous tests. Prepare yourself."

The class went to their respective locker rooms to change.

Principle Nedzu's office.

"So. What did you think?"

Jean and Principle Nedzu had walked to the field to watch class 1A before walking back to Nedzu's office.

"Young Todd surprised me."

"Oh?"

"Yes. When he ran after the boy with the explosive Quirk. I was able to look into his future."

"What did you see?"

"He was fighting a large man in a destroyed building next to All Might."

"I see. Did you see anything else?"

"Yes. Johnny. I saw him crash a flaming Semi truck into the man that Jason was fighting."

"Did you see anything else?"

"Yes. I saw Rogue. She was smiling. I saw lightning weave around her, but she was happy."

"That is good to hear."

"The sisters. Anna and Elsa."

"Yes?"

"I saw memories from Elsa. She was pulling Anna in a wagon and laughing. I felt Anna's memories though. For whatever reason she felt embarrassed."

"Do you know why?"

"No. I couldn't get a full read on her, but it felt like she might have been older. It shouldn't be possible to get that feeling from a child."

"I see. Thank you. Is there anything else?"

Jean walked to the window and saw Jason walking back to class with Johnny. She concentrated on him.

I-Izuku." Jason choked out.

"What is it Jason?"

"I know that you will become a Hero that will make All Might proud. I did what I could by making sure that you would survive, but the rest is up to you."

"No! Jason NO! You can't die! Jason!"

"The one good thing to come out of this war is that I'll be able to see my mom again." Jason said before the light left his eyes.

Jean stumbled back and fell to the floor gasping for breath.

"Jean!" Nedzu said. "What happened? What did you see?"

"There is a war coming, and unless we can stop it, Jason, and countless others will die."

Izuku was walking out of school feeling exhausted. 'Oh. I'm so tired.'

Someone grabbed his shoulder.

He turned around to see Iida. "Oh. Iida."

"Is your finger healed?" Iida asked.

"Yeah. Thanks to Recovery Girl."

"You seem tired. Was Class that hard on you?"

"Not really. Recovery Girls Quirk requires Stamina. So, it drains your energy."

"I see. What did you think of Aizawa Sensei?"

"Huh?"

"I thought. "This is the best of the best" and things like that. I didn't think that a teacher would encourage us with a lie."

"HEY!" A voice said. "You two!"

They turned around to see Ochaco running up to them.

"Are you two going to the station? Wait for me."

"Uraraka?!" Izuku asked.

"You're the infinity girl, right?" Iida asked.

"I'm Ochaco Uraraka. Um, you're Tenya Lida, and you're Deku Midoriya, Right?"

"DEKU?!" Izuku said in alarm.

"Huh? But during the fitness test, the boy named Bakugo said- Right?"

"Um... My real name is Izuku?"

"Huh? Then why does Bakugo call you Deku?"

"To make fun of me." Izuku said bowing his head in shame.

"An insult?" Iida asked.

"Oh." Ochaco said put out. "Is that right? I'm sorry, but Deku sounds like the word for "You can do it". So, I kind of like it. Can I call you that?"

Izuku went red in the face and started sweating. "YOU CAN CALL ME DEKU!" He shouted.

"Izuku?" Iida asked. "You're accepting it too easily! Wasn't it an insult?"

"Wasn't what an insult?" Johnny asked.

"Deku." Iida said.

"Oh. You mean the name that Bakugo gave Izuku when we were younger?"

"Yes. Did you know the true meaning?"

"Yes." Rogue said coming up to the group. "There are two meanings for it. One meaning being 'A person who can't do anything by themselves' and two. 'Someone who can succeed.' I'm paraphrasing on their definitions."

"So, what are we talking about?" Anna and Elsa asked coming up to the group.

"The definition of Deku." Johnny said.

"Was Bakugo talking crap again?" Jason asked coming up.

"When isn't he talking crap?" Johnny asked.

"Hello." Iida said changing the subject. "I am Tenya Iida."

They went around and introduced themselves before they headed towards the station to take them home.

They talked until they made it to their stop and got off.

"See you guy's tomorrow." Ochaco said.

The group waved goodbye to Ochaco and Iida before walking to their homes.

"So Izuku?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah?"

"What do you think about Ochaco?"

Izuku blushed.

Anna and Elsa cooed in unison.

Johnny nudged him. "Hey. I'm just giving you crap. If you like her then treat her right."

"That doesn't mean you can treat her like garbage." Rogue said. "I'll personally kick your butt if you treat her wrong."

"I know that you won't treat her wrong." Jason said.

"R-really?"

"Yeah. Because your mom raised you better than that."

Izuku felt a warm feeling come over him as he thought about what his mom had told him that morning.

'Izuku...' Inko had said. 'I think you're cool.'

"Yeah." Izuku said. "She did."

"So." Anna said. "Are you going to ask her out?"

"A-Anna!" Izuku blushed. "This is the second time we've talked."

"It has to start somewhere." Anna said mischievously.

"Oh no." Elsa facepalmed. "Once Anna gets it in her mind there's no stopping her."

The friends continued walking home enjoying each other's company.

Chapter Text

AN: I don't own the characters used in this fic.

AN: Some thematic elements.

The next day the friends walked into class.

"So. What do you think Aizawa will have us do today?" Johnny asked.

"I don't know." Rogue said. "Maybe he'll have us fight each other."

They walked into class and saw Present Mic standing at the front of the class.

"I bet you guys thought you could get out of regular class work, didn't you?" He asked with a cheeky smile.

"I figured that we would have to do this but was optimistic that we wouldn't." Jason retorted.

"I see. Then sit down. We have class in a few minutes."

They sat down and began working on their English work.

Present Mic wrote four sentences on the board.

1. The man whom I most respect is my father.

2. That is the house in which I lived.

3. I well remember the day on which we met.

4. Please tell me all that you know.

"Now. Tell me which of these sentences is wrong." Present Mic said.

"Damn." Kaminari said. "This is sooo boring."

"Everybody Heads up!" Present Mic yelled. "Let's get this party started!"

Momo raised her hand up.

"Okay, Yaoyorozu, come on!"

"Number four is wrong. The relative pronoun is in the wrong place."

"Correct!"

After morning classes, they went to lunch.

"Whoa." Anna said. "This place is huge."

"Do you smell that?" Elsa asked.

The sisters sniffed the air.

"Chocolate." They said in unison.

The friends laughed at the sister's antics.

"Wow." Rogue said. "This is some really good food."

Jason took a bite out of some curry. "Wow. This is really good."

"Thank you." Lunch Rush: the Cook Hero said coming up to their table. "White rice is great comfort food isn't it?"

"Yes, and this curry is amazing."

Izuku began Fanboying over the fact that he was meeting Lunch Rush, THE Lunch Rush.

They continued their meal in comfortable conversation, and eventually it was time to go to afternoon classes.

"So, what's on the schedule for this afternoon?" Johnny asked.

"Hero Basic Training." Izuku said.

They were about to start talking when the door opened.

"I am..." All Might said. "...coming through the door like a normal person!"

"All Might!" Everyone said in unison.

"Wow." Kirishima said. "He really is a teacher."

"Wow. That costumes from the silver age isn't it?" Asui asked as All Might walked to the front of the classroom.

"The style is so different." Ojiro said. "I have goosebumps."

"I teach Hero Basic Training." All Might said. "It's a subject where you train in different ways to learn the basics of being a hero. This subject will have the most units in it." All Might struck a pose. "Let's get right into it! Today we will be doing... Combat training."

Jason felt a stab of malicious intent and looked around. He saw Bakugo with a predatory smile on his face.

"Combat?" Bakugo asked with that same wicked smile.

"Training?" Izuku asked with a gulp.

"And to go with that are..." All Might pointed at the wall. "...these."

25 lockers appeared from the wall panels, every other panel being a set of lockers.

Everyone was excited to see their costumes.

"After you change." All Might said. "Meet in ground Beta."

"Yes sir!" The class shouted.

All Might waited for the students to change.

Everyone walked out wearing their costumes.

Rogue was wearing a Yellow and green jumpsuit with a brown belt, a brown leather jacket, with yellow leather gloves, a green headband, and yellow knee-high boots.

Anna was wearing dark blue pants with a light blue long sleeved shirt and a black corset, she had a pair of Brown boots with pink soles and golden designs on the front, and a pink cape.

Elsa was wearing a light blue top with icy blue pants and light blue boots. Her Hair had been tied into a braid and went down her back.

Johnny was wearing a pair of black motorcycle boots with a pair of blue jeans and a plain blue T-shirt with a black leather jacket, and a chain that went from his right shoulder to his left hip.

Jason walked out wearing a pair of black combat boots with black tactical pants, gunmetal gray armor, a brown motorcycle jacket and a red motorcycle helmet that covered his face with two triangular eye slots.

All Might looked at the five teens. They were so much different in what they classified as costumes.

Jason's Costume hid his Identity to protect his loved ones while also giving him the options of gadgets and accessories.

Johnny's costume gave him camouflage, so long as he lost the chain.

Rogue's costume was perhaps the most unique out of the group with the exception of Anna. While Rogue's didn't offer her camouflage or much in the way of gadgets and accessories it did help to ensure that she didn't accidentally touch someone and take their Quirk or energy.

Anna's costume seemed to be designed with being cute in mind, but All Might got the feeling that there was something else in mind when she made it.

Elsa's costume seemed to reflect her Quirk more than having any practicality involved.

"They say the clothes make the man, young men, and ladies" All Might said. "Be fully aware... from now on... you are HEROES!" All Might looked at everyone. "That's great. You all look cool! Now, let us begin, you Zygotes."

Izuku was still in the locker room. He was looking at his costume.

His mom had it made by looking at his notebooks and found the costume he'd wanted ever since he was a kid.

His mom had told him that what she had said after that fateful day before Jason showed up kept bothering her and she couldn't believe that she had given up so easily when he kept dreaming about becoming a Hero. He kept chasing his dream. She told him that she would support him openly with everything she had from then on.

Izuku changed into his costume. His mother had put her feeling into getting him his costume, and he would wear it with pride. He ran out to Testing Ground Beta.

"Oh, Deku?" Ochaco asked.

"Uraraka!" Midoriya said in shock.

"That looks cool! It's really down to earth."

Izuku looked at Uraraka from the feet up in amazement.

"I should have written down what I wanted." Uraraka said rubbing the back of her head. "Mine ended up being a skintight bodysuit." She said nervously. "It's really embarrassing."

"I think Izuku really likes it." Anna said walking up to them.

Mineta walked up and looked at Anna and Ochaco. "The Hero Course is the best." He said practically drooling.

"No, you don't!" Jason said kicking Mineta out of the way. "Pervs like you don't belong in the Hero course. Either stop being a perv or leave!"

"You look good." izuku said to Ochaco.

"Y-you really think so?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"Where did you get that?" Bakugo asked Izuku nodding to his costume. "The trash?"

"N-no." Izuku stammered. "My mom had it made for me for getting into the U.A."

"Oh. Are you so poor that your mom had to make it out of scraps?"

"Stop it Kacchan!" Izuku said harshly.

"DON'T... CALL ME... KACCHAN!" Bakugo yelled running to hit Izuku with his Quirk.

Jason spun around and kicked Bakugo into a wall before slamming him face first into the ground and ramming his knee into his kidney. "Do you really think you are going to surpass All Might like that? You won't! If anything, you will become a villain that he throws into prison... or worse. A villain he has to put down."

Bakugo blew the ground beneath him up and knocked Jason off.

Jason flipped in the air and threw a Batarang at Bakugo.

There was a pressure wave, and All Might sent the Batarang Flying and grabbed Bakugo and Jason. "This is not the way Heroes in Training should act!" All Might yelled.

"I'LL KILL TODD!" Bakugo yelled. "HE CAN'T DISRESPECT ME LIKE THAT!"

"The same way you disrespect Izuku all the time!" Jason snapped back.

"ENOUGH!" All Might yelled. "I don't want to give you two detention, but I will if I have to."

Jason and Bakugo looked at All Might before looking at each other.

"That's better. Now. Mingle away from each other."

Bakugo left and Jason went to talk to his friends.

"I'm sorry young Midoriya." All Might said coming up to him. "I will not show you favoritism or anything that would look like favoritism because if it were to come out about our connection it could look bad."

"I understand." Izuku said.

All Might looked at Midoriya's costume and saw the twin plumes on his head and the smile on the mask. He held back a laugh. 'It's so obvious that he based his costume off of me.' All Might composed himself and gathered the students together. "Now it's time for combat training."

"Sir!" Iida said raising his hand.

Izuku looked over at the hero in the robotic looking costume. 'Oh. That's Iida. He looks so cool!'

"This is the Battle Center for the entrance exam. So, will we be conducting urban battles again?"

"No!" All Might said. "We are moving ahead two steps! Most of the time fighting villains takes place outside, but if you look at the total numbers, atrocious villains appear indoors at a higher rate. Imprisonment, house arrest, backroom deals- in this society of heroes, truly intelligent villains hide in the shadows. For this class, you'll be split into villains and heroes and fight 2-on-2 indoor battles."

"Without basic training?" Asui asked.

"This is a real battle to understand those basics!" All Might said clenching his fists in front of him. "However, the key this time is that there is no robot you can just beat up."

"How will wins and losses be determined?" Momo asked.

"Can we beat them up anyway?" Bakugo asked in a bored tone.

"Will the punishment be expulsion like with Aizawa Sensei?" Ochaco asked timidly.

"How will we be split up?" Iida asked standing upright with his hand raised.

Isn't this cape crazy?" Yuga asked.

"Ugh." All Might grunted in exasperation. "I will answer all of your questions!" He opened a booklet.

'Is that a script?' Jason and Izuku thought in unison.

All Might cleared his throat. "The situation is that the villains have hidden a nuclear weapon somewhere in their hideout. The heroes are trying to dispose of it. The Heroes will have an allotted time to either beat the villains or get the nuclear weapon away from them. The villains need to protect the nuclear weapon for the allotted time or catch the heroes."

'Hm.' Izuku thought. 'This whole situation feels very American.'

All Might brought out a box with Lots written across the front in bold letters. "Teams and opponents will be determined by drawing lots." He said.

"They are being decided that haphazardly?" Iida asked in shock.

"Pros often have to make makeshift teams with heroes from other agencies." Izuku explained. "So maybe that's why they are doing it this way?"

"I see." Iida said fascinated. "The discernment to look ahead..." Iida bowed. "Please excuse my rudeness."

"It's fine." All Might said punching his fist in the air. "Let's go!"

Team A: Izuku Midoriya and Jason Todd

Team B: Mezo Soji and Shoto Todoroki

Team C: Minoru Mineta and Momo Yaoyorozu

Team D: Katsuki Bakugo and Tenya Lida

Team E: Mina Ashido and Yuga Aoyama

Team F: Koji Koda and Rikido Sato

Team G: Denki Kaminari and Kyoka Jiro

Team H: Tsuyu Asui and Fumikage Tokoyami

Team I: Mashirao Ojiro and Toru Hagakure

Team J: Hanta Sero and Eijiro Kirishima

Team K: Ochako Uraraka and Johnny Blaze

Team L: Anna and Elsa Martin

"What about me?" Rogue asked.

"Oh." All Might said embarrassed. "Um. You can team up with Anna and Elsa."

"Okay." Rogue said walking towards Anna and Elsa.

Team L: Anna and Elsa Martin and Anna Marie Darkhölme

"Yay!" Anna shouted hugging Rogue.

"Think he paired us together for a reason?" Jason asked Izuku.

"Maybe." Izuku said. "If I were All Might I would pit us against Kacchan because of the fight earlier. I would want to see how we handle the situation. Do we fight Kacchan in a two on one match and completely destroy him like Villains, or do we tag team him and fight more fairly, or do we split up and one of us goes to face Kacchan and the other goes to fight Iida?"

"How do you want to do this? I'll take on Bakugo, or I'll take on Iida."

"I need to fight Bakugo. I need to show him that I'm not the same scared kid he used to bully in middle school."

"Then I'll fight Iida."

"How do you want to fight Anna, Elsa, and Rogue?" Johnny asked Ochako.

"You know them Best. How should we handle them?"

"Personally, I think that you should go take on Anna and Elsa since you can probably take both of them on and not completely steamroll them."

"Okay. So that means that you will take on Rogue?"

"Yeah. She's the strongest in our friend group, but Jason and I tie for second. I can hold my own against her."

"Right." Ochako nodded.

All Might called the teams who were going to fight, and the battles were intense.

Izuku and Jason fought Iida and Bakugo first.

Jason and Izuku were walking together through the halls when a Gauntleted fist came crashing down on top of them.

Izuku grabbed Bakugo's gauntlet and threw him over his shoulder. "RUN!" He told Jason. "I've got this!"

Jason took off for Iida, leaving Bakugo and Izuku to fight.

"FIGHT ME YOU DAMN NERD! YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING DOWN ON ME SINCE THAT DAY!"

"No I haven't!" Izuku said. "That was the day that I realized you weren't my friend, but I hoped that you would change your mind! That's why I still call you Kacchan!"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Bakugo roared, letting off and Explosion.

Izuku rolled out of the way, and to his feet before motioning Bakugo towards him.

Bakugo took the taunt about as well as Izuku thought he would and charged at him, slamming an explosion down where he had been a second ago, and Izuku punched Bakugo in the face, knocking him to the ground.

Bakugo kicked Izuku's feet out from under him and got up snarling at him. He aimed his bracer at him. "This gauntlet stores my extra sweat allowing me to make a larger explosion!" He shouted. "NOW DIE!"

"BAKUGO DON'T!" All Might shouted over the comms.

Jason was walking until he arrived at the fifth floor where he heard Iida practicing lines for the role of a Villain.

"Welcome Hero!" He said. "I have been expecting you. Welcome. To my lair of evil." He waved his arms out.

"You do know that that's not how real Villains talk, right?" Jason asked.

"It's not?" Iida asked, shocked.

"No, It's not. A Villain is just like you or me. They don't think what they are doing is wrong... Well, most don't. You need to ask yourself why the Villain is doing this. Are they desperate? Do they need money for a loved ones operation? Are they crazy and want to watch the world burn? Are they being Blackmailed? So... Why are you here to blow up the city?"

"Oh! Me? I want to watch the world burn."

"Good. Because that makes this a hell of a lot easier."

"What?" Iida asked, confused.

Jason threw red and black marbles as well as a black and red bolo, but Iida dodged them and ran at Jason. As soon as he grabbed Jason, Jason activated the taser hidden in his suit, shocking Iida.

"That." Jason said as he walked past Iida and was about to touch the Bomb when he felt an Explosion and grabbed Iida out of the way before jumping out the window and rappelled down to the ground as an explosion took the roof off. "DAMN IT!" He roared as he dropped Iida and ran into the building.

Jason ran through the building until he saw Izuku and Bakugo lying on the floor, both unconscious. He picked Izuku up and threw him over his shoulder before grabbing Bakugo by his gauntlet and dragged him outside before placing them next to Iida. There wasn't much of Izuku's uniform left, but his respirator was still in one piece. He ripped both his helmet and Izuku's respirator off and watched his chest rise and fall, but there were lacerations and burns covering his body.

Bakugo on the other hand was bleeding from his head and likely had a concussion.

"Step aside young Jason!" All Might said.

"Iida is unconscious from getting shocked by my body taser, Izuku has burns and lacerations across his torso, and Bakugo has a concussion." Jason explained.

"Excellent work Young Jason. They need to be taken to Recovery Girl."

"Do you want me to take them?" Jason asked. "You have a class to teach."

"Very well." He took out a pad of paper and wrote a note explaining that Jason was taking them to the infirmary.

Jason looked at All Might. "Can you ask Ochako to take their gravity away? It will make carrying them smoother."

"I will instruct her to go with you so she can negate their gravity. Her team will go last."

"Thank you."

A minute later Ochako ran up to him. "Oh my gosh! Are Deku and Iida okay!?"

Jason winced at the use of the nickname Bakugo gave Izuku, but let it slide as he had other things to worry about. "Iida is just stunned. I tased him. Izuku... I don't know. He has burns and lacerations."

"Ooh! I hate Bakugo!" Ochako stamped her foot.

"What happened?"

"He aimed his gauntlet at Deku and pulled the pin! It created a HUGE explosion!" Ochako waved her arms wildly. "If Deku hadn't knocked Bakugo's legs out from under him and sent the explosion up then he might have died!"

Jason glared at Bakugo. He would have wanted to leave him here, but All Might told him to get him to the infirmary. "Here." He handed Izuku to Ochako with one arm. "Can you take his gravity away and carry him to Recovery Girl? Can you also take Iida's gravity away?"

"Sure!" Ochako said, taking Izuku's gravity away and walking over to Iida, taking his gravity away. "Wow. You're really strong."

"I had to be. I didn't rely on my Quirk because it was just too dangerous. So I spent my time training. Izuku, and I can deadlift, lift, and hold each other with one arm."

Ochako's eyes sparkled. "R-really?"

"Yeah. I'm sure that if you asked he could show you his training regimen, and he might let you sit on his back while doing push-ups."

Ochako blushed and Jason smiled. 'You're welcome Anna. The rest is up to you.'

"Let's get them to the infirmary." Jason said as he dragged Bakugo behind them... with all his weight causing him to drag across the floor.

When they arrived at Recovery Girl's office Ochako opened the door and placed Izuku and Iida on beds before Ochako replaced their gravity.

Jason flipped Bakugo on a bed to reveal his face and hands having been torn up.

"Oh, no. What happened?" Recovery Girl asked.

"Bakugo blew the roof off a training building and injured himself and Izuku. I tased Iida with my body taser."

"Well, get back to class. I'll have to wait for them to wake up before I can heal them."

"Thank you." Jason bowed before they left, heading back to Ground Beta.

When they arrived back at Ground Beta there were two fights left. They asked for an update, and received them. The fights following Jason and Izuku's were not as intense, and Izuku's friends were angry that Bakugo tried to use him as a punching bag, which made them miss the fights in between the first and the last.

Finally, it was the last fight.

"Team K vs. Team L." All Might said. "With Team K being the villains and Team L being the heroes.

Ochako and Johnny looked at Anna, Elsa, and Rouge.

"Sorry." Johnny said to them.

"It's only fake." Anna said. "Right?"

"Yeah. It's only fake."

The group walked to their building and Ochako and Johnny walked in first.

"Okay." Johnny said. "Since this is Anna, Elsa, and Rogue I'm going to take on the role of a Villain. I want to make this as real as possible. Do you want to stay with the nuke and I'll go hunting? You're going to see me do some pretty fucked up stuff."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to take up the role of the kind of person I hate the most." Johnny said before changing into the Rider.

Five minutes later Anna, Elsa, and Rouge walked in.

"Where do you think they are?" Anna asked.

"I'm not sure." Rogue said. "But we need to be careful. Johnny is skilled, and I'm sure that he's going to show the class that this isn't a game."

"But we have the advantage though... don't we?"

"Johnny is used to fighting against the odds remember."

"What about Ochako?"

"If we can take Ochako out first then we might have a chance."

"Um... guys." Elsa said in a worried tone. "We lost the element of surprise."

Rogue and Anna turned around to see Johnny walking up to them.

"Well, well, well." Johnny said as the Rider. "What do we have here? Three little girls ripe for the taking."

Anna and Elsa threw water and Ice at him, but Johnny melted the Ice and evaporated the Water creating a steam cloud, giving him the element of surprise.

Rogue knew what Johnny was doing and took her role, flying at Johnny she threw him into a pillar. "Is this how you have fun? Attack defenseless girls?"

"I would just like to point out that you aren't defenseless." Johnny said. "You're Heroes."

"Shut up!" Rogue yelled punching Johnny through the pillar.

"Your blood is too pure, look into my eyes and become tainted!" Johnny shouted a bullshit stare, freezing Rogue before turning his stare on Anna and Else, who followed Rogue's lead and froze.

"Right." Johnny said before he walked to the girls and tied them up with his chain. "So many ways to have fun, so little time.?" He said, poking Anna before saying "Done."

Anna looked sick but sat down.

Johnny went to Elsa and poked her. "Done." He said.

Elsa felt sick but sat down.

"Get the hell away from me!" Rogue spat.

Johnny poked Rogue but fell down.

Rogue broke from her restraints and kicked Johnny with enough force to send him through the building before flying through the building to the top to find the bomb. She flew into the last room and saw Ochako with all of the office supplies from this floor as ammo, and she threw it before releasing its gravity. Rogue had to be careful because Ochako wasn't Jason or Johnny. She couldn't tank a hit from anything Rogue sent her way.

A chain tied around Rogue and pulled her back towards Johnny. "We weren't finished." Johnny said in a pleading tone. "Let's finish our game."

Rogue kicked her foot, sending Johnny flying outside the side of the building and flew at Ochako to grab the bomb, office supplies be damned.

"This battle is done." All Might said through the loudspeaker. "The Villain team wins!"

Elsa, and Anna came out of the building, while Johnny walked around the building looking no worse than he had twenty minutes ago.

"Let's never do that again." Rogue said, flying Ochako down to the ground. "You two are way too good at being bad guys."

"I feel really sick." Johnny said. "I don't like being the villain."

"How do you think we feel?" Anna shuddered. "I mean I know it was fake, but it was still messed up."

"I know, but it was the only thing that I could think of to teach the class that this isn't a game."

All Might came down to them. "I would like to discuss this in more detail, but Ochako, Johnny. You two were surprisingly good villains."

"Please don't say that." Ochako said.

"The fact that you feel this way means that you are on a good path. Keep up the hard work, and I will see you later."

With that All Might left them.

The rest of the class came over to them.

"Um." Hagakure said nervously. "Why did you guys choose to portray the villains the way you did?"

"Because." Johnny explained. "Did you think that was a game?"

"No."

"That's why."

"Dude! You totally gave me chills!" Karishima shouted.

"It was supposed to. I wanted to make you think. This isn't a bunch of seven year old's playing Heroes and Villains. This is us training to be Heroes in a world where people like that exist. Not everyone is a versatile as myself and Rogue, but..." He glared at Minetta. The Rider was begging to sear the perverts soul, but there was a chance that he could change. A small chance. Johnny didn't know it, but he was going to regret not letting the Rider Sear the grapes soul.

The friends were in Class 1A when the door opened and Iida, Izuku, and Bakugo shambled in.

"Dude!" Karishima said to Bakugo. "That was intense! Did you really have to do that Midoriya!?"

"BITE ME!" Bakugo snapped.

"Okay, but I don't you you'd enjoy it as much as I would." He smiled his shark teeth at Bakugo. "Just tell me when and where."

Bakugo looked so taken aback that he jolted backwards as if he weren't in control of his body. "What?" He asked too confused to be mad as he was leaning against Aizawa Sensei's desk.

"I'm Gay bro. You said to bite you. I asked when and where."

Bakugo looked like his brain was fried. He grabbed his stuff and headed home in complete silence.

"Holy shit!" Johnny said as he looked at Karishima. "I have never seen Baku-Bitch that flustered before."

"Baku-Bitch?" Karishima asked.

"It's a nickname we gave him in middle school. He wanted to be a bitch, he could be a bitch."

"He's more of a Drama Queen than Jason and Elsa!" Anna said. "I didn't think it was possible."

"Don't call Bakugo that." Karishima said. "Maybe that nickname is why he's so angry."

Jason, Johnny, Rogue, Anna, and Elsa looked at each other before saying: "Nah." In unison. "He's Angry because he's mad that he's a Pomeranian... or maybe a hedgehog." Jason said.

"Dude." Karishima said. "What's your beef with Bakugo?"

Jason looked at Izuku who shrugged and left.

"He bullied Izuku every chance he got since he got his Quirk. All because Izuku's Quirk was too O.P. for his body to handle." Jason explained. "That's why." He said as the friends left leaving Karishima to watch them leave.

The friends were leaving the school that day when they were stopped by All Might. "Good Afternoon children." He said.

They greeted All Might.

"I wanted to talk about class today."

The five students shuddered at that.

Izuku looked at them. They had told him how class went after he left, but apparently, he'd missed something.

"First off I wanted to say that I am concerned that you thought to do that." He looked at Johnny.

Johnny looked at him.

"I'm not proud that I did that." Johnny said. "But that is a very real threat in the field. Villains are not rational, and some of them are twisted to a point that they don't care who they hurt."

"Exactly. I wanted to thank you for showing that no matter how uncomfortable it made you."

"Well it was either that or leave them powerless and beat them to near death with a crowbar and blow them up." Jason said

"You really showed the dangers that Heroes can face, and I will be going over that in greater detail next class."

"I'm glad that something good came out of our discomfort."

With that All Might went one way, and the friends went another.

As promised, All Might went over the previous class during the next class.

"Who can tell me why Johnny's villain portrayal were so important?" All Might asked.

The class was silent.

"No one?"

The class stayed silent.

"Very well. The reason Johnny's villain portrayal were so important is because there are villains like that out there. There are villains out there who do not care who they hurt, how they hurt them, when they hurt them, why they hurt them, what they hurt them with, and where they hurt them. These villains are more dangerous than your average villains and are classified as Supervillains."

The class stayed quiet.

"Normally we don't go over this until you get your provisional licenses, but after what happened last class it's a subject that needs to be discussed."

"Why isn't it covered earlier?" Asui asked.

"It is a serious subject that we want you children to be mature enough for that talk."

"I see."

The rest of the class was kind of downcast after that.

Principal Nedzu's office.

Principal Nedzu and Jean watched the recording of Ochako and Johnny vs. Anna, Elsa, and Rouge before watching Jason and Izuku vs Iida and Bakugo.

"What did you think?" Principal Nedzu asked.

"I think we should be glad that Young Johnny is not villains." Jean said. "If he were to apply that to either side of the fight his opponents would be in trouble. Young Jason's fight was interesting. He took time to help Young Iida understand that there are different types of villains, and that is rare. Someone who understands Villains better than we do."

"I agree. Where you able to see anything?"

"Yes, but what I saw was disturbing."

"What did you see?"

"Memories."

Principal Nedzu looked at Jean. "Do you feel comfortable explaining?" He asked.

"Jason was killed."

Principal Nedzu looked shocked. "What?"

"Jason Todd was killed by a supervillain."

Principal Nedzu looked out the window in concentration. "Perhaps we should call Young Jason and his friends in and discuss this in greater detail."

Hero Basic Training was interrupted when Anna, Elsa, Jason, Johnny, Izuku, and Rogue were called to Principal Nedzu's office.

The six friends made their way to Principal Nedzu's office and waited to be called in.

"Good to see you children." Principal Nedzu said in a friendly tone. "How are you enjoying U.A. High?"

"It's pretty cool." Johnny said. "I mean it's really cool learning how to be a Hero instead of trying to figure it out on our own."

Jean got a glimpse of a man becoming a flaming skeleton for the first time.

"Excellent, excellent. I asked Black San if she would watch your classes for a few days and tell me her thoughts. You six interested her greatly."

Jason tensed ever so slightly.

"Please calm down Young Jason." Principal Nedzu said. "Black San is a Hero counselor of sorts."

"You have some kind of Psychic Quirk." Jason said looking at her.

"Yes, I do."

"You've been watching us, specifically haven't you?"

"Yes."

"What did you find out?"

"You might want to sit down."

chairs were brought in and the friends sat down.

"My skillset is very wide." Jean said. "My Quirk gives me telepathy as well as the ability to see the most likely course of action an individual's life will go. I can see memories, and sense emotion."

"Why do I get the feeling that you aren't telling us everything?" Jason asked.

"Because I'm not. My Quirk is in constant flux. Sometimes I show a new ability, and other times I lose an ability I had."

"Sounds dangerous." Rogue said.

"It is. I have had episodes in the past, but I have been able to control my Quirk long enough to get a job where I can help Heroes, and to answer your question I take time off when I have bad days."

Elsa put her hand down.

"What did you find that was so troubling?" Jason asked. "You and I both know that we wouldn't be here if you didn't find something that terrified you."

"You're right. Over the week I have gotten flashes from all of you... Even you young Midoriya."

Izuku's face heated.

"What where they?" Rogue asked.

"There is a war coming." Jean said. "And it's a war that will test the limits of Heroes and non-Heroes alike."

"We are a focal point in this war, aren't we?" Jason asked.

"Yes. For one thing you all lose your families."

"WHAT!" The friends yelled in horror.

"Yes. Three years from now you will all be put in horrifying circumstances that will either break you or push you past your limits."

"We all die, don't we?" Jason asked.

"Everyone but Izuku. Your deaths are what pushes him to end the war, but the cost was too great."

"I know that this is difficult to hear." Principal Nedzu said. "But I will not force you to listen to it if you don't want to."

"A little late for that." Johnny said. "We have an invested interest in it now."

"Very well."

Jean told the friends that Anna and Elsa were forced to kill their parents, and completely shut down afterwards, eventually dying in an attack because they were practically catatonic.

The sisters broke down into sobs and hugged each other tightly promising that they wouldn't do that.

Jean told Rogue how a group of villains forced her to hold her mom and absorb her mom's Quirk until she killed her.

Rogue held a hand to her mouth and cried tears of rage.

Jean told Johnny how he was force to watch as his mom crushed his dad underneath a car and left him there to die an agonized death before killing herself.

Johnny wasn't sure which emotion to feel and became the rider allowing his flames to grow hotter and waver as if he were crying.

Jean looked at Jason. "You are forced to watch as a man touches his hand to your mom and decays her completely. Her last words to you were 'Fight.'."

Jason clenched his fists and teeth in rage.

Jean looked at Izuku. "After the deaths of their parents and Anna and Elsa. You, Jason, Johnny, and Rogue, as well as your classmates, stage an offensive to bring the villains down. Rogue is the first to fall followed by Johnny. Rogue is killed by 'Decay' while Johnny is crucified to a silver cross and drown in Holy Water."

Rogue and Johnny flinched.

"What about Jason?" Izuku swallowed the lump in his throat.

"He is killed due to blood loss. He dies in your arms and says that 'the only good thing to come of this war is that he gets to see his mom again.' He dies moments after that. Their deaths give you the motivation and push you to reach your full potential and beat the villains back, but when asked how you felt now that the war was over you said that the cost of winning was too great. You remain the symbol of peace, but you look at the world in a new light."

Principal Nedzu watched the children. "I would ask that you not tell anyone else about this."

"You said that it was the most likely outcome... right?" Jason asked quietly.

"Yes. It is the most likely outcome of events to come, however you have the possibility to change them."

"That's why you told us, isn't it?" Jason asked. "You told us in the hopes that we can change that to another possibility."

"Yes."

"Well then you can kiss that future goodbye because I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure it doesn't happen."

"That's what I wanted to hear." Jean said with a smile.

"I know that this is very troubling news." Principal Nedzu said. "But please keep what you have heard today to yourselves. Black Sans Quirk must be kept secret."

"You can count on us." Jason said.

After school Jason created a motorbike and drove off as fast as he could push it.

Johnny grabbed his bike and drove off after Jason.

Rogue picked Anna, Elsa, and Izuku up before flying to Dagoba Municipal Beach Park.

When they got there, they saw Jason looking out at the water.

"Jason?" Anna asked.

"I refuse to let that future happen." Jason said without turning. "I won't let you guy's die."

"What about you?" Rogue asked.

"If I have to die so you guys live, I'll make that sacrifice."

Izuku punched Jason in the face, knocking him to the floor.

Everyone looked from Izuku to Jason back to Izuku.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Izuku yelled. "I WAS THE ONLY ONE LEFT ALIVE AFTER YOU ALL DIED! YOU DIED IN MY ARMS!"

The friends were horrified. They had never seen Izuku so mad.

"What's your problem?" Jason asked rubbing his jaw.

"You were the first person that truly believed in me." Izuku panted. "Even when I didn't believe in myself, you did."

"Izuku..."

"NO! You don't get to talk! None of you guys are dying!"

"We can train to get stronger." Johnny suggested. "We did it for ten months what's three more years?"

"What if that training is what leads us to killing our parents?" Elsa asked.

"It won't hon." Rogue said. "We'll make sure of that."

Everyone looked at Jason.

"What?" Jason asked.

"Do you have a death wish?" Rogue asked.

"No."

"Then why throw yourself to your death when we have a chance to change the future?"

"I... I just don't want to lose you guys."

"Do you think it would be any easier for us to lose you?"

"I don't know."

Izuku walked over and chopped Jason in the head.

"Ow! What the hell!"

"You're an idiot, you know that?"

"What!"

"You're an idiot."

"Though we can't really blame you." Rogue said. "From the time you were six, the first time, you haven't had the best life. You never really learned that your life really does matter."

"What are you talking about?"

"In your first life did you have the kind of life like you do now?"

"No."

"Would you rather live this life or your first life?"

"This life." Jason said without hesitation.

"It's because you have the life you want here. You live with a mother who loves you and would never abandon you."

Jason thought about that. "You're right. I'm so afraid that this life will turn out like my previous life that I almost let it happen again."

"Then let's make sure that doesn't happen." Izuku said, reaching down to offer Jason a hand up.

Jason grabbed Izuku's hand and pulled himself up.

"We're going to stop this war." Johnny said. "And anyone who stand in our way..." He changed to the Rider. "...Won't like the consequences."

The others nodded in agreement.

"Let's go home." Rogeu said.

The friends walked home not really sure what to expect, but whatever it was they would face it together.

Jean watched the friends leave the Beach park.

"You know what Shigaraki." Jason said. "You might think that you can kill our parents and our friends, but you can't, and to make sure that you can't..." Jason pulled the trigger sending a red and black bullet through Shigaraki's brain.

"NO!" All Might yelled. "Why would you do that!"

"He was a monster All Might. There was nothing you could do. He didn't want to be saved. He wanted to kill."

"But you don't understand..."

"No! You don't understand. He would have killed until everyone, but the villains were dead or in their prisons. And you wanted to let that thing live?"

"He was just lost!"

"No. He made his choice, and so did I."

Jean watched the friends in horror. "What have I done?"

Chapter 7: Day 2

Summary:

Class 1-A chooses a class president. Lunch gets interrupted, and they go to the USJ.

Chapter Text

AN: I do not own the Characters used in this fic. They belong to their respective creators.

The friends were walking to school when they noticed a group of reporters outside the school.

"Great." Jason said. "As if regular people weren't bad enough."

"Huh?" Anna and Elsa said. "What do you mean?"

"The press." Jason pointed at the group. "If there were ever a more dishonest group of people, I haven't found them."

"I still don't understand." Anna said.

"The press, or paparazzi as they are sometimes called, don't care who they hurt so long as they get a paycheck. They will take whatever you say and twist it so that it makes them money. Compared to them Johnny and I are saints."

"What do you have against the Press?" Johnny asked.

"Here's why I hate them." Jason said before clearing his throat. 'Mr. Wayne, Mr. Wayne! Can you tell us why you chose to adopt a second boy? Why didn't you say, decide to adopt a girl after raising young Richard Grayson? Is it perhaps that you somehow feel more comfortable around young boys?'

"Or what about." 'Jason! Jason over here! Are the rumors true that Bruce Wayne adopted you in the hopes of making you perform certain tasks for him to repay him for adopting you?'

"Or maybe even." 'Does Bruce Wayne abuse you? Is that how you got those bruises? What about Miss Kyle? Since the two have gotten together has she tried taking advantage of you?'

"Maybe that's why I hate the press." Jason said before shoving his way through the crowd.

His friends stood speechless.

A woman at the front of the group shoved a microphone in his face. "What's it like having All Might as a teacher?" She asked.

"It's great." Jason said gathering up all of his control not to kill the reporter. "Yeah. He's teaching us all of his special techniques. I wouldn't be surprised if all of us could use one of his smash attacks by the end of the year." Jason said before pushing past the reporter.

"I have one more question!" The woman shouted.

Jason reached behind himself and flipped her and the other reporters off. He chuckled at their scandalized gasps. 'Suckers.' He thought.

They walked into class and saw that Lida, Ochaco, and Bakugo had gotten caught up by the Media.

Class started when Aizawa Sensei came in. "I'm glad you all made it through the mob of reporters. I also want to congratulate you on the Combat Training. I saw the videos, and the results. Bakugo. That was your one and only warning. Next time you attack a fellow student like that, I will expel you without a second thought."

"WHAT!!!!!" Bakugo Shouted.

"Midoriya." Aizawa continued. "You settled it by breaking your arm again. I thought Todd was teaching you control. Whether Todd is a bad teacher, or you are a bad student I don't know, but you better fix it."

Jason knew that this was another one of Aizawa's deceptions to try and get Izuku on the right track, so he didn't say anything.

"I hate having to repeat myself, but if you can learn how to control your Quirk then you will go far."

"Yes sir." Izuku said.

Aizawa turned to Johnny and Ochako. "Good job on your villain portrayals but try not to get comfortable being villains. You are both on your way to becoming capable heroes."

"Thank you, sir." The two said in unison.

"Now that that's taken care of." Aizawa Sensei said. "On to homeroom business. Sorry about the late notice, but today I'll have you..."

The classroom filled with tension.

"...Decide a Class Representative."

The tension left the room.

"ME!" Kirishima yelled throwing both hands in the air. "I wanna be Class Rep! Pick me!"

"Me too!" Kaminari said, raising his hand.

"I want to do it too." Kyoka said, raising her hand too.

"It's a job made for me." Yuga raised his hand.

"I'll be the leader!" Mina shouted, jumping up.

"My manifesto is that all girls' skirts have to be thirty centimeters above the knee!" Mineta yelled before Jason spin kicked him into the wall.

"Sensei, may I kick this pervert's ass?" Jason asked before spin kicking Mineta into a wall.

"Let me do it! ME!" Bakugo yelled waving his hand in the air.

Izuku raised his hand.

"I want to do it!" Anna yelled. "Or better yet... Elsa."

"I don't want that much responsibility." Elsa said. "Why not Jason?"

"No way." Jason said.

"Silence, please!" Iida yelled. "The Class Representative is a job with a serious responsibility of leading others. It's not just a job for just anyone who wants to do it. It is a calling that requires the trust of those around you. If we want to use democracy to decide on a true leader, then we should hold an election to choose one."

"You raised your hand the highest!" Class 1-A yelled in unison.

"I suggest Iida." Jason said. "He's the only one here with a head strong enough for the responsibility, he's not a hot head, a pervert, or an attention whore. He tells it like it is and will tell you everything while giving you no information whatsoever. He was made for this role."

"I agree." Johnny said. "Either Iida, Izuku, or Jason."

"What is that, responsibility?" Jason asked. "Get that shit away from me."

"Why did you suggest that?" Kaminari asked.

"We haven't known each other very long." Asui pointed out. "So how can we trust each other or anything?"

"If that's the case and everyone votes for themselves..." Kirishima said.

"Don't you think that is precisely why whoever receives multiple votes here can truly be considered the most suitable person?" Iida pointed out. "What do you think Aizawa Sensei?"

"I don't care, so long as you decide before homeroom is over." Aizawa Sensei said before laying down in his sleeping bag.

"Thank you very much!"

They voted and they went down the list.

Izuku Midoriya- five votes

Jason Todd- three votes

Momo Yaoyorozu- two votes

"I got five votes!" Izuku shouted.

"Why Deku!" Bakugo shouted. "Who voted for him!"

"Well, it's better than voting for you." Sero said.

"What did you say!" Bakugo yelled.

Jason looked around and saw that Ochaco had voted for Izuku. He had to hold back a laugh, but he also voted for Izuku.

They heard muttering and saw Iida muttering to himself.

"Then it looks like Midoriya is the Class Rep." Aizawa Sensei said. "And the Deputy Class Rep will be Todd."

"S-s-seriously?" Izuku asked. "Seriously?"

"How vexing..." Momo said.

"That might not be too bad." Asui said.

"After all is said and done, Midoriya can be pretty fired up, anyway." Kirishima added.

"And Jason was pretty cool when he saved Iida and dragged Midoriya and Bakugo out of the building!" Someone added.

"YOU DID WHAT!" Bakugo roared at the top of his lungs.

Jason flipped Bakugo off before going back to his seat.

"Oh wow! There are a lot of people here today, too!" Ochaco said during lunch.

"That's because everyone in the Hero course, Support course, and Management course meet in the same place."

"The rice is so delicious!" Ochaco said with a big smile on her face.

Jason noticed something and caught on. He made a note in his phone and sent a text to his friends.

J.T.: Does Ochako seem to eat more food than advisable during lunch? Does she not eat at home? Does she have money to eat?

Putting his phone away, he looked at the others.

"Even though I was chosen for class Rep, I don't know if I'm qualified for it."

"Sure, you are." Jason said, not missing his friends checking their phones. "You have thirteen notebooks filled with notes on hero Quirks and abilities. so that means that you are tactical and analytical. You don't run when someone is in trouble. We can tell story after story of times that you stood up against Bakugo to protect someone else. Hell. You saved Ochaco during the Entrance Exam even though you knew that it would cost you. You outsmarted Bakugo during combat training, and if that's not enough you have the strength to carry everyone's burdens and still care. You did it before your Quirk activated, and you only got better afterwards. You are more than able to be the Class Rep."

"Yeah." Anna said. "You and Jason Co-Lead our group. You are the guy who thinks things through while Jason is the one who will defend us at the drop of a hat... Not that you wouldn't, it's just that Jason is a lot more aggressive than you... that's not what I mean!"

"We know what you're trying to say Anna." Elsa said. "But she has a point. You are a wonderful tactician and strategist. Jason is an amazing fighter. Johnny is a great protector. Rogue also is a great protector and supporter while Anna and I can use our Quirks to make some decent combos."

"Do you really think so?"

"We know so hon." Rogue said, speaking up for the first time. "You, Jason, and Iida would all make excellent Class Representatives."

"Thank you for your vote of confidence." Iida said.

"I believe in you Deku." Ochaco said confidently.

Jason cringed at the nickname, but now wasn't the time to say anything about it.

"Your courage and judgement at critical moments make you worth following." Iida added. "Your friends are confident in your abilities to lead, and from what I've seen. You have my support. That is why I voted for you."

"It was you?" Izuku asked in shock.

"I voted for you too." Ochaco said.

"And me." Jason said.

"I voted for you too." Elsa said.

"I voted for Jason." Johnny said.

"Me too." Anna and Rogue said.

"Why did you guy's vote for me?" Jason asked.

"Because." Johnny said. "You are a natural born leader. Remember ten years ago at the park?"

"You mean when I nearly led you guys to your deaths?"

"Yeah. Thankfully, All Might was there."

"WHAT!" Iida and Ochaco yelled.

"You guy's tried fighting a villain when you were four?"

"Yeah." Jason said rubbing the back of his head. "Not my finest moment."

"But wait." Ochaco said. "Didn't you want to be Class Rep Iida?"

"Wanting to be Class Rep and being Suitable to be Class Rep are two different issues." Iida said sagely. "I merely did what I judged to be correct."

"Merely?" Izuku and Ochaco said in unison.

"You don't usually use that word." Izuku said.

"Oh, that's..."

"I've been thinking..." Ochaco said. "Are you a rich boy Iida?"

"Rich..." Iida gasped. "I tried to change how I talk because I didn't want to be called that."

Izuku and Ochaco stared at Iida.

"Being rich isn't all it's cracked up to be." Jason said.

"You've got that right." Anna and Elsa said in unison before laughing.

Johnny and Rogue looked at their friends and were soon joined by Iida and Ochaco.

"Damn." Jason swore.

"Everyone, spill your secrets!" Ochaco said excitedly.

Before anyone could say anything, an alarm went off.

"There has been a level three security breach." An automated voice said over the loudspeaker. "All students please evacuate promptly."

"What is a security three?" Iida asked an upperclassman.

"It means that someone is trespassing on school grounds." The student replied. "I've never seen anything like this in the three years I've been here! You should hurry too!" The upperclassman said leaving.

"It's probably the press." Jason said. "But in the event that it isn't we should get out while we can."

The hallways were crowded leaving Jason, Johnny, Rogue, Elsa, and Anna in the cafeteria.

"Where's Izuku?" Jason asked.

"I'll see if he's in the crowd." Rogue said flying into the hallway.

She saw people pushing against each other until she saw Izuku, Ochaco, and Iida. She picked them up and flew them back to the cafeteria.

"Why did you do that?" Iida asked. "We were supposed to evacuate."

"Did ya want ta be trampled ta death hon?" Rogue asked.

"No. Thank you for the assist." Iida bowed.

"You're welcome but stop bowing to me. We are classmates after all."

"Rogue." Jason said. "Can you fly over the crowd to see what's happening?"

"Yeah. Sure thing sugar," Rogue said before flying over the crowd and looking outside. "It's the press!" She shouted to Jason.

"All right." Jason said before creating a megaphone. He looked over at Izuku. "Do you want to do the honors? I mean you are the Class Rep."

"Um. No thanks. You can do it." Izuku said.

"Okay." Jason said. "Anyone else?"

"Give me that." Johnny said taking the megaphone. "Hey!" He shouted into the Megaphone. "You guys can calm down now! It's just the press!"

"Ouch!" The students in the back said. "Watch it will you?"

"Yeah. Sure. As soon as you guys cool your jets."

The people in the front were still pushing.

Jason took the Megaphone and Whistled into it as loud as he could.

The people in the back complained as they slammed their hands over their ears.

"HEY!" Jason yelled. "If you people in the front will kindly stop moving and listen, I will tell you what the problem is!"

"The police are here!" One kid yelled.

"Oh good." Another said.

They were back in Class 1A after lunch.

"Come on Class Rep." Jason said.

"W-we need to talk about the other class officers." Izuku said. "But first, can I say something?"

"Huh?" The class asked.

"I think... that Jason Todd or Tenya Iida should be Class Rep." Izuku said. "And that Momo Yaoyorozu should be Deputy Class Rep."

"What?" Iida and Momo asked.

"WHAT!" Jason yelled.

"Iida has always been good at following the rules, and getting people's attention, and today Jason was able to lead and calm everyone down during the crisis. So, I suggest that they get to be Class Rep."

"Let's vote on this." Momo said writing Jason and Iida's names on the board. "All those who want Iida to be Class Rep?"

Tenya Lida- 13 votes.

"And all those who want Jason to be Class Rep?"

Jason Todd- 13 votes

"Aizawa Sensei." Momo said. "We have a tie, and we need a tie breaker."

"Then play rock, paper, scissors or something." Aizawa Sensei said.

"Is that even legal in this situation?" Iida asked.

"Just get this over with."

"Fine." Jason said, looking at Iida. "Heads or tails?" he asked, taking a coin out of his pocket.

Momo took the coin and inspected it.

"Heads." Iida said.

"Then I take tails." Jason replied.

Momo flipped the coin.

The class watched with bated breath as the coin spun up in the air before spinning down.

Momo caught the coin and put it on the back of her hand. She pulled her hand away in what seemed like slow motion. "Tails." She spoke. showing them the coin.

"Congratulations." Iida said. "I am sure that you are going to make an excellent Class Representative."

"Why can't I just give you the position?" Jason asked.

"ENOUGH!" Eraser Head shouted. "Todd. You are the Class Representative. We have taken too much time with this as it is. Now get up here and represent your class."

Jason walked up to the front of the class. "If I'm going to be the Class Representative, which will be temporary until Izuku takes the damn position back by the way, then I will do so to the best of my ability. This means that I will treat you the way that you treat others. If you treat others well, then I will treat you well. If you treat others with disrespect, then I will treat you with disrespect until you learn respect. Now. Let's go over the other offices."

Outside the school Principal Nedzu, Recovery girl, Midnight, and 13 looked at a portion of damaged wall.

"How were ordinary members of the press able to do this?" Principle Nedzu asked. "Someone instigated this. Did someone evil slip in, or was this intended to be a declaration of war?"

The next morning a Villain was holding a family hostage.

"Listen Heroes!" The Villain shouted. "Don't follow me. Otherwise, I'll kill this family."

Mt. Lady grit her teeth at the situation.

"It's fine now, family!" All Might yelled. "Missouri Smash!" All Might hit the villain knocking him out and grabbing the family. "Why? Because I am here on my way to work."

"AHH!" A woman yelled. "A hit-and-run!"

All Might groaned. "It'll be bad if I'm late, but..." He jumped off. 'Huh? I've gotten slower. After I gave young Midoriya 'One for All', my powers have been weakening.' He looked at his hand. 'On top of that, after forcing myself that time, the time I can spend in this form has gotten shorter than before.' All Might slammed his hand down on the car involved in the hit-and-run.

"Someone's barricaded themselves in the neighboring town!" A grocer said.

All Might jumped towards the next town.

U.A. High.

"For today's Hero Basic Training." Aizawa Sensei said. "It's turned into a class with three instructors, All Might, myself, and one other Hero."

The class became excited.

"Excuse me!" Sero said. "But what will we be doing?"

"Disasters, Shipwrecks, and everything in between." Aizawa said holding up a card with the word Rescue on it in bold, blue words.

There were murmurs throughout the class.

"Hey. I'm not done."

The class went quiet.

"This time you can decide if you want to wear your costume." Aizawa Sensei pressed the remote unlocking the lockers from the wall. "Because there are probably costumes that limit your abilities, too. The training will take place off-campus, so we're taking the bus. That is all. Start getting ready."

Everyone started getting ready.

They met out front.

"Oh." Ochaco said. "You're wearing your P.E. clothes. Where's your costume?"

"They got ripped during the combat training, so I'm waiting for the support company to fix it."

Johnny looked at Izuku and gave him a thumbs up.

"Let's go people!" Jason said. "Let's go save some people."

Everyone went to the bus and started getting on.

Everyone walked on and took their seats on the bus.

Rogue sat next to Kaminari while Anna and Elsa sat together.

Johnny sat next to Mina while Asui sat next to Jason and Ochaco sat next to Asui,

Mineta tried squeezing in between Anna and Elsa, but after Jason cleared his throat, he moved away.

"I wish Iida had been picked instead of you." Mineta whispered.

"Quit acting like a pervert and I'll stop." Jason said. "Girls hate pervs like you, and if you keep it up then you'll die a sad, broken, bitter man!"

The bus went quiet at that."

"Was that really necessary?" Anna asked in a scolding tone?

"He needs to know that his actions have consequences. What better time than right now?"

"Isn't that a little hypocritical?" Toru asked.

"I know that my actions have consequences. I learned that at the age of four."

"I call bullshit!" Mineta yelled at Jason.

Jason got in close to Mineta. "Ask Johnny, Rogue, Anna, Elsa, and Izuku." he asked in a dangerous tone.

Mineta looked at Rogue.

"It's true." She scoffed at him. "We thought that we could take out a Villain and Jason led us in that fight. If All Might hadn't shown up... we'd be dead."

Mineta looked at Anna and Elsa who nodded.

He looked at Johnny.

"It's true." Johnny said.

Mineta looked at Izuku.

"I watched as my friends ran at a Villain. If All Might hadn't shown up, they would be dead right now."

"Speaking of All Might." Asui said to Izuku. "Midoriya..."

"Um, yes, Asui?"

"Please call me Tsu."

"All Right." Izuku stammered.

"Your Quirk is like All Might's."

"Huh! What! No, it isn't! Do you really think so? But I'm... um..."

"Wait a second Tsu." Kirishima said. "All Might doesn't get hurt when he uses his Quirk."

"That we know of." Rogue said cryptically.

"They do look similar though." Kirishima said.

Izuku let out a breath.

"Though it's nice having a simple augmenting-type Quirk. You can do a lot of Flashy stuff! My hardening is strong against others, but unfortunately it doesn't look like much."

"I think it's really cool." Izuku said.

"Have you ever thought of sharpening it?" Jason asked.

"What?" Kirishima asked.

"Sharpening your edges? Have you ever thought about Sharpening them?"

"No. Do you think that could work?"

"If you're fighting someone who doesn't have a protective Quirk or armor, I think it could be effective."

"Jason tends to think that the best defense is a good offense." Johnny said.

"I see."

"What do you think I could do?" Tsu asked.

"Your Quirk is 'Frog', right?"

"Yes."

"Hm. Have you ever thought about using your tongue as a tripwire?"

"No. That sounds like it could be painful."

"It's just an idea. Or maybe you could charge someone and barrel into them with all your weight."

"If I picked up enough speed I suppose."

"What about me?" Iida asked.

"Have you thought about Mixed Martial Arts?"

"Yes."

"Hm. What if you were to compress your engine until the last second before you kick? It could be risky, so don't try it until you have practiced... If it will work."

"Thank you. I will consider it."

"What about me?" Yuga asked. "My Navel Laser is Pro-Level in both Flashiness and Strength."

"Until you get a stomachache." Mina said.

"I suggest you try and push your Navel Laser to its limits when you train so you can use it longer. I'm not saying to try for a minute, but try and hold it for one second, then two, then three, and so on. Eventually you will be able to get over the stomachache downside and use it at will." Jason advised.

"Thanks for the advice."

"What about me?" Mineta asked sheepishly. "My Quirk is no good."

"Every Quirk is good." Jason said. "You just have to find the good. I didn't really use my Quirk for the longest time because I thought I would hurt my friends and family, but I learned how to control it, and now I'm not as afraid of hurting them."

"Then what good is..." Mineta popped one of the purple balls off his head.

"You can use it for climbing up walls... regular walls and not the walls to the girl's locker rooms!" Jason said sternly.

Mineta looked sheepish.

"If you can learn how to use your Quirk properly then you can go pretty far in life."

"Do you really think so?"

"We're here." Aizawa Sensei said. "You can continue your conversation later."

"Yes sir." The students said.

When they disembarked, they were met by a hero dressed like a marshmallow astronaut.

"Hello everyone." The hero said. "I've been expecting you."

"Space Hero Thirteen." Izuku fanboyed. "The gentlemanly hero who has rescued tons of people from disasters!"

"Oh, I love Thirteen!" Ochaco Fangirled.

"Better hurry up." Johnny Whispered to Izuku. "Otherwise, you might lose your chance with Ochaco."

Izuku went beet red.

"Hurry." Thirteen said. "Let's get inside quickly."

"We look forward to working with you." The class said in unison.

They walked into the building and stared around in awe.

"Wow. It looks like the USJ!"

"A shipwreck, a landslide, a fire, a windstorm, et cetera." Thirteen said. "This is a training ground that I made with different types of disasters. It's called the 'Unforeseen Simulation Joint.' Or USJ for short."

"This is the USJ!" Half the class said in unison.

"Thirteen?" Aizawa asked. "Where is All Might? He was supposed to meet us here."

"About that..." Thirteen whispered. "...it would appear that he did too much Hero Work on his way to work and ran out of time, so he's resting in the lounge."

U.A. High teachers' lounge.

"Sorry Sensei." All Might said to Principle Nedzu. "I should be able to go for a little bit at the end. I'm really sorry."

USJ.

"That's the height of Irrationality." Aizawa said. 'Well. We took precautions just in case.' "It can't be helped. Shall we begin?"

"Before we begin let me say one thing." Thirteen said. "Or two... or three... or four, or five, or six, seven..."

"Why is it increasing?" Someone asked.

"Everyone. I am sure that you are aware of my Quirk... 'Black Hole'. I can suck up anything and turn it to dust."

"You've been able to use your Quirk to save people." Izuku said. "From all types of disasters, right?"

Ochaco nodded her head rapidly.

'It would be a great Villain Quirk.' Jason thought.

"Yes, but it is a power that can easily kill."

Everyone but Jason, Johnny, and Rogue gasped.

Jason noticed that Johnny and Rogue caught onto how dangerous Thirteen's Quirk was too.

"Some of you also have a Quirk like that too." Thirteen said. "In a superhero society, personal Quirks have been certified, and stringently regulated, so that doesn't seem to be a problem at first glance. However, please do not forget that there are many Quirks that can easily kill with one wrong step. With Aizawa's Physical Fitness test, you found out about the possibility of your own hidden powers, and with All Might's person to person combat training, I think you experienced the danger of using those powers against others." Thirteen looked at Jason and Johnny. "And how a dangerous mind is just as, if not more, dangerous than a dangerous Quirk."

Jason and Johnny rubbed the backs of their necks.

"This class is a fresh start. You shall use your Quirks to save people's lives. You do not have powers so you can harm others. I hope you leave here with the understanding that you have powers in order to help others."

Everyone felt a little more confident after Thirteen's speech.

"That is all." Thirteen said with a bow. "Thank you all for listening."

The class erupted into applause.

"All right then." Aizawa said trying to get the class back on track. "First..."

The electricity in the overhead lights went out, followed by the water from the fountain acting weird, and a purple/black portal opened up in the fountain.

Aizawa turned around just as Jason dropped into a fighting stance, Johnny grabbed his chain whip from his shoulder and Rogue hovered into the air.

A head poked through the portal.

"Gather together and don't move!" Aizawa said urgently.

Jason, Johnny, and Rogue stood in front of the students to offer the best protection they could.

"Thirteen. Protect the students!"

"What's that?" Kirishima asked.

Villains started walking out of the portal.

"Is this like the Entrance Exam where the lessons already started?"

"No." Jason said.

Izuku began walking forward when Aizawa yelled. "Don't move!"

Izuku looked at Aizawa as he put his goggles on.

Jason felt someone touch his hand, and figured it was Rogue. He created a pair of guns on his sides and a knife in his boot.

Johnny felt someone touch his hand and figured it was Rogue. He tightened his grip on his chain whip in case he needed to use it.

"Those are Villains." Aizawa said.

Everyone but the trio gasped.

Jason created a Batarang in each hand. 'We have a mole.' He thought.

AN: And so, begins the USJ fight. How different will it be from canon, and how good of a Class Representative will Jason be?

Chapter 8: USJ

Summary:

Pandemonium ensues at the USJ after the Villains arrive. The students are separated and are forced to fight. What happens when people who are used to killing are put into a situation where it's kill or be killed? Lines are crossed. How far will they go to protect their friends and classmates?

Chapter Text

AN: I don't own the characters used in this fic.

The Teachers and Students watched in horror as the Villains walked out of the portal by the dozens.

"Thirteen and Eraser Head huh?" One of the Villains, possibly the guy creating the portal, asked. "The teachers schedule we received the other day..."

The portal took the shape of a tall man.

"... said that All Might was supposed to be here."

"The trespassing the other day was the work of these scumbags after all, huh?" Eraser asked.

The Villains walked forward.

"Rogue." Jason Whispered. Take Iida and get back to the U.A. Tell them what happened."

"What are you gonna do?" Rogue asked.

"Buy you time." Jason said. "Wait for my signal."

"Where is he?" A low voice asked. "All Might... I went through all this trouble to bring a crowd and he didn't show up. Maybe if we kill some kids he will."

Eraser bristled at that and made his scarf weave around him.

Jason tensed. 'This is going to be a fight to the death... isn't it?'

"What!" Kirishima said. "Villains! There's no way they could get into a Villain school!"

"Unless we have a mole." Jason said.

"What! No way!"

"Sensei." Momo asked Thirteen. "What about the trespasser sensors?"

"We have them, of course, but..."

"Did they only appear around here, or around the whole school?" Todoroki asked.

'Or did the mole disable them?' Jason thought.

"Either way." Todoroki continued. "If the sensors aren't responding, that means they have someone with a Quirk who can Jam the sensors. An isolated area separated from the main campus, during a time when a class is supposed to be here. They might be fools, but they aren't dumb. No. This surprise attack was carefully planned with some sort of goal in mind."

Everyone but Jason, Johnny, and Rogue flinched.

"Thirteen." Eraser said. "Start evacuating the students and try calling the school. These Villains had something to counteract the sensors. It's possible that someone with Radio-Wave-type powers is interfering."

Jason looked at Kaminari out of the corner of his eye.

"Kaminari. Try contacting the school with your Quirk too."

Jason created an earpiece in his ear and slipped one into Rogues hand.

"Yes sir." Kaminari said.

"What about you sensei?" Izuku asked. "Will you fight by yourself?"

"No." Jason said as Johnny and himself walked up. "We've fought a Villain before sensei. Let us help."

"Get your classmates to safety." Eraser said.

"But with that many Villains." Izuku continued. "Even if you erase all their Quirks... your fighting style is erase and capture."

"You can't be a one trick Hero." Eraser said.

Everyone looked at Eraser.

"I'm leaving it to you Thirteen." Eraser sad before jumping to fight the Villains.

"Shooting Squad!" A villain wearing black pants, a white wife beater, and a helmet yelled raising his hands that were guns at Eraser. "Let's go!"

"Didn't our intel say it would just be Thirteen and All Might?" A Villain with long grey hair, wearing black boots, a dark blue, purple, and grey bodysuit asked. "Who's that!"

"I don't know!" A large Villain in an olive-green bodysuit, with a gas mask and three horns. "But if he thinks that he can come at us from the front by himself..."

"Then he's an idiot!" The three yelled in unison.

The large Villain raised his head and what looked like nostrils lit up red.

Eraser Head activated his Quirk leaving them Quirk-less. He wrapped them up in his wrappings and pulled them into the air before smashing their heads together leaving them unconscious.

The other Villains looked at him in shock.

"Idiot!" One Villain yelled. "He's Eraser Head. He can erase Quirks just by looking at them."

"Erase, hm." A Villain who looked like he was made out of rock said. "Can you Erase the Quirks of heteromorphic-type Villains like us too?" He jumped at Eraser.

"No." Eraser said dodging his punches. "I can't." He punched the Villain hard enough to send him flying. "But the skills of guys like you..." he threw his wrappings and grabbed the Villain before ducking a punch from another Villain and pulled on the wrapping. "... Are statistically more likely to manifest in close combat..." He spun around and kicked the second Villain away. He pulled on the first Villain and brought him down hard in three villains. "... So, I've taken measures against that."

"Hm." Shigaraki said. "He's also strong in hand-to-hand combat, and since he's wearing goggles, you can't tell who's Quirk he's erasing. When he fights against a group, that makes it harder for them to work together."

A Villain tried activating her Quirk only to end up with a boot to her chest.

Eraser wrapped a Villain with a Skull on his head around the neck and pulled.

"I see." Shigaraki said. "I hate Pro Heroes. The masses don't stand a chance against them.

Eraser pulled another Villain away.

"Wow." Izuku said. "Aizawa Sensei is really good at fighting large groups of people by himself."

"Let's go Izuku!" Jason yelled.

Izuku turned to run.

A portal opened in the floor and the man with the portal Quirk blocked their path.

"I won't let you leave!"

'Damn it!' Aizawa scolded himself. 'I blinked once, and the most dangerous guy got away...' He kicked a Villain out of the way and went to help his students, but he was blocked by the others.

"Nice to meet you." The portal Villain said. "It may be Presumptuous of us, but we have invited ourselves in..."

Thirteen put an arm in front of the students to act like a barrier between them and the Villain.

"... to the home of the Heroes, U.A. High School, in order to have All Might, the Symbol of Peace, take his last breath."

Izuku was shaking, like more than half the class. "What?" He asked.

"I think All Might should have been here. Has there been some kind of change?"

Bakugo, Jason, Johnny, Kirishima, and Rogue grit their teeth in anticipation of a fight.

"Well." The portal Villain continued. "That is neither here nor there." He reached out his portal towards the students. "This is the role I am here to play."

Thirteen opened one of their fingers and aimed at the portal Villain, but Bakugo and Kirishima jumped at the Villain.

"Rogue!" Jason yelled.

Rogue flew over to Iida and picked him up before flying over the Villain and out the door.

Bakugo blew up the Villain when he reached for Rogue and Iida.

"Did you ever consider that you would be beaten by the students before you played your part?" Kirishima asked.

Everyone watched as the smoke cleared and showed the portal Villain.

"Oh dear, that's dangerous."

Bakugo and Kirishima were taken aback by the Villain.

"Even if you are students, you are excellent golden eggs."

"No!" Thirteen yelled. "Move away you two."

"My job is to scatter all of you!" He encircled them in his portal. "And torture you to death!"

"MOVE!" Jason yelled.

Shipwreck Zone

Jason, Johnny, Mina, and Tsu were thrown into the Shipwreck Zone.

Jason fell into the water and was quickly attacked by a man with a Shark Quirk.

"I don't have anything against you kid, but goodbye." The Shark Villain said opening his maw and went to bite down.

Jason activated his armor which began boiling the water around him.

Tsu kicked the Shark Villain and wrapped her tongue around Jason before swimming away.

They surfaced and Tsu lifted Jason onto the deck of the ship.

"Thanks, Tsu." Jason said.

"You're welcome, Jason." Tsu said climbing up the side of the ship. "Do you know if we were the only..."

"Jason!" Johnny yelled.

"Johnny! You're all right."

"Yeah, and Mina's here too."

"Are you guys all right?"

"Other than the fact that we are under attack by Villains." Tsu said. "But other than that, I'm doing all right, Kero, kero."

"I'm okay." Mina said.

"Good." Jason said. "Johnny. Go to hell."

Johnny nodded and became the Rider. He put his chain whip over his shoulder and asked. "Do you have a shotgun I can use?"

Jason created a shotgun and tossed it to Johnny.

He looked at Tsu and Mina. "We are under attack. These guys want to kill us. Are you prepared to defend yourselves?"

"What should we do?" Tsu asked.

"If it comes to you or them... choose you." Jason said.

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Mina asked.

"If it comes to killing a Villain so you can live..." Jason said. "... kill the Villain."

"I don't know if I can." Mina said.

"They want to kill you." Jason said. "And they severely outnumber us. They chose to be Villains, and they want to kill children so they can murder the Number One Hero. I'm sorry if I sound rude, but I choose you guys over them."

"Same here." Johnny said before looking at Jason. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Yeah. They knew the schedule, and the other day when the press got in... there's definitely a traitor at the school."

"A traitor?" Mina asked worried.

"Sadly, that makes sense, kero, kero." Tsu said.

"I think we have bigger problems." Mina said pointing over the edge of the ship.

They looked over and saw Water Villains swimming toward the boat.

Jason activated his armor and pulled out his pistols. "Come and get some you bastards!" He yelled before connecting his pistols and making a sniper rifle.

He aimed over the side and began popping off Villains one by one.

Johnny raised his shotgun. He didn't have the aim that Jason did, so he would have to wait for them to get closer... unless. He grabbed his Chain Whip and swung at a Villain who came into range and wrapped his chain around his neck before pulling and breaking it.

"What can I do?" Mina asked.

"Johnny." Jason said. "Go with Mina to the other side and keep them off our backs. Tsu and I will do the same over here.

"Come on Mina." Johnny said.

"R-right." Mina said following Johnny.

"What can I do?" Tsu asked.

"Watch for Villains. I know you don't like the thought of killing..."

"They said that they would torture us until All Might got here, kero, kero." Tsu said. "I'm more than content not to die."

"Good." Jason said before shooting another Villain.

There was the thunderous crack from a shotgun and Jason hoped Johnny was doing all right.

The second of contemplation allowed a Villain to get behind Tsu and raise a trident.

"Tsu!" Jason yelled, pushing her out of the way and taking the hit from the trident.

Johnny and Mina got to the other side of the Ship and saw the Aquatic Villains were swimming towards them and closing in fast.

"Can you melt the deck, so they fall through if any of them make it up here?" Johnny asked Mina.

"Yes, but it could potentially sink the ship putting us in more danger."

"They want to kill us. Unless we stop them, they will get their way."

Mina looked scared.

"I know you can do this Mina. You... can... do... this."

Mina looked at the deck and put a layer of acid in it that melted away the top of the ship before dropping down two more levels.

"Good job."

"Thanks."

The first aquatic Villains jumped onto the deck and fell through the hole.

Johnny looked over the edge and saw the Villains trying to get up. "Not on my watch you sons of bitches!" He yelled before grabbing them with his chain whip and throwing them into the hole on deck, out to the water, or breaking their necks.

Mina watched in horror as a Villain made his way behind Johnny. "JOHNNY!" She yelled.

Johnny spun around and fired his shotgun, but not before being impaled on the Villains spear.

"JOHNNY!" Mina yelled.

Landslide zone

Todoroki, Mineta, and Anna landed in the Landslide Zone

Todoroki was the first one up and saw they were surrounded by Villains.

He froze them from the neck down. "It's pathetic to lose to a child!" He yelled. "Get ahold of yourself. You're an Adult, aren't you?"

"That's kind of mean." Anna said.

"Go out with me!" Mineta yelled.

"Ew, gross!" Anna said.

Collapse Zone

Bakugo and Kirishima stood back to back as they took out Villains.

Mountain Zone

Momo handed Jiro a machete and pulled a bo staff from her arm while Kaminari stood his ground as Villains surrounded them.

Fire Zone

Ojiro stood in front of Elsa who had collapsed due to the fire.

'Damn it!' He swore to himself. 'I need help. I can't fight them and protect Elsa.'

Squall Zone

Koda and Tokoyami stood back to back surrounded by Villains.

Ochaco, Shoji, Sero, Sato, and Izuku watched with Thirteen as Their Friends and Teacher fought for their lives.

A man with hands covering his upper torso pointed at the students and a large bird man began walking towards them.

Izuku felt something rise inside him.

That morning at Dagoba municipal beach park

"Hey Izuku." Jason said.

"Yeah?"

"Show me how much you can push 'One for All'."

Izuku clenched his hand into a fist, concentrated on his Quirk and let it fly punching towards the ocean.

It had been much stronger than normal.

"That was pretty impressive." Jason said. "I'd say that you are at least able to control fifteen percent. How are you able to grow so quickly?"

"I've started to have my Quirk active all day pushing it to grow as quickly as possible."

"Good. If you keep that up, I'm sure that you will be able to master 'One for All' by the time we graduate if not sooner."

"Really?!" Izuku asked excitedly.

"Yeah. Now give this one everything you've got without hurting yourself."

Izuku jumped down to meet the bird man and pushed 'One for All' to his limit. 'One for All! Twenty percent!' He yelled punching the bird man in the chest.

The bird man looked at him and backhanded him out of his way.

"DEKU!" Ochaco yelled.

Izuku flipped and held his stomach. 'My insides are on fire. I didn't realize that he could do that.'

Bile began flowing up Izuku's throat and he knew he was going to puke.

Ochaco watched as a gout of flame erupted from Deku's mouth. 'Is that a side effect of his Quirk?'

'What is this?' Izuku asked. 'I can breathe fire. I've got dads Quirk! I'm not Quirk-less after all!' A determined smile crossed his face and he jumped onto the bird man and belched a gout of flame into his face.

The bird man grabbed him and threw him into the floor.

The flames stopped, and Izuku felt something break.

He slowly got to his feet and dropped into a fighting stance. "I won't let you..."

*CRACK!*

A thunderous crack ripped through the air and the bird man's head exploded into a red mist.

"EAT HELLFIRE YOU SON OF A BITCH!" A voice yelled from the shipwreck zone.

The man with the hands on his torso turned and looked in the direction. "NO!" He yelled.

Izuku stood up a little taller.

"Deku!" Ochaco yelled running down to him.

The portal Villain wrapped Ochaco in his Quirk and put her by the hand Villain.

The hand Villain put her in front of him and forced her to face the shipwreck zone while the portal Villain stood between him and Izuku.

"OCHACO!" Izuku yelled running towards her.

"Not so fast young Hero." The portal Villain said. "If you want to save her, you have to get through me first."

Rogue flew overhead keeping an eye on Iida. They needed to get help fast.

They got to U.A. High and Rogue tried the earpiece that Jason had given her.

"Jason." She said into the earpiece. "Iida and I made it back to U.A. High. Can you hear me?"

Static came through the earpiece.

"Jason. Can you hear me?"

A pressure wave sent her tumbling through the air. When she righted herself, she flew back to the USJ leaving Iida at the school. This time she didn't have to fly as slow.

Izuku looked at the Portal Villain. "Get out of my way!" He shouted.

"I don't think so."

Izuku took in a deep breath and expelled a gout of fire that quickly fizzled out.

"It would appear that you are out of options."

"No. I'm never out of options." Izuku said, throwing something from his utility belt.

The portal Villain created a portal and opened it in front of Ochaco.

"NO!" Izuku yelled.

Something heavy landed on the Portal Villain before jumping up and grabbing the Hand Villain by the neck and pulled him up and over his back.

The Hand Villain dropped Ochaco and went flying over Jason's shoulder.

"Jason!" Izuku yelled.

"What's up Izuku?" Jason asked.

Eraser Head took out the last of the small-time villains and looked at Jason and Izuku. He activated his Quirk taking theirs.

Jason felt weak and felt his armor disappear. "What happened?" He asked.

The hand Villain jumped at him and grabbed his arm. "If I go down then I'm taking you with me!"

Jason looked at his arm. "Was that supposed to do something?" he asked before kicking the Hand Villain in the face.

"No! Where did it go so wrong?" The Hand Villain yelled.

"I'll tell you how." Jason said. "You messed with my friends and my class, and that... is something that I take very personal." Jason said in a voice so low and filled with a fiery rage that it sent shivers down Erasers back.

Jason kicked the Hand Villain in the face.

"Todd." Aizawa said. "Were you alone?"

"No sir. I was with Johnny, Mina, and Tsu."

"Where are they?"

Earlier

"Jason!" Tsu yelled when the Aquatic Villain stabbed him with his trident.

Jason backed up and saw the trident had melted on contact with Jason. He patted his stomach and saw that he wasn't hurt.

"Wh-what the hell are you?"

"Me?" Jason asked. "I'm your worst nightmare." Jason punched the Aquatic Villain hard enough to punch him into the railing, breaking his back. He walked over and pushed him over the side.

"Are you okay?" Tsu asked.

"I'm fine. Are you okay?"

"Yes. Just startled is all. Kero, kero."

"Sorry if I scared you."

"Kind of."

"Sorry..."

They were interrupted by a scream from the other side of the ship. They ran to the other side of the ship and saw Johnny holding a Villain over the edge.

Smoke was coming out of the Villain's eyes.

"Maybe next time you will think before attacking my classmates." Johnny said before dropping him into the water.

"Mina." Tsu said jumping over to her. "Are you okay?"

"They impaled Johnny, but he just pulled the spear out and killed him by looking at him."

"What did you see?" Jason asked.

"It was horrible. He was a sadist. He would kidnap and kill people. He got off on that shit."

"Then I'm glad you killed him."

"So am I."

"Did we get them all?"

"Yes. They are all taken care of. Everyone except the ones who fell in there." Johnny pointed down the hole in the deck.

"Take care of it."

Johnny pumped his shotgun and emptied it into the hole.

Jason walked over to the other side and looked toward the entrance. He saw Midoriya fighting a bird man. The bird man slammed Midoriya into the ground.

Midoriya stood up and said something.

Jason created a sniper rifle, aimed, and fired.

*CRACK!*

The round for the sniper rifle blew the bird man's head off.

"EAT HELLFIRE YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Jason yelled.

Johnny, Mina, and Tsu ran towards him.

"We have to find our classmates." Jason said. "Johnny. You go to the Fire Zone. See if there's anyone there you can help. Mina Head over to the Mountain Zone. Tsu. Head over to the Squall Zone. Whenever you guys finish there move out to another Zone.

"Sure thing. You got a bike?"

Jason created a bike for Johnny but grabbed the side of the ship for support.

"Are you okay?" Tsu asked.

"I'm fine. My Quirk just takes a toll on me the more I use it. I think I'm about at my limit."

"Don't go over your limit. The last thing we need is you going bat shit crazy."

"Tsu?" Mina asked. "Can I get a lift over to the Mountain Zone?"

"Sure." Tsu said. "But Jason. Where are you going?"

"To the entrance. I need to get the others to help and tell Aizawa what's going on."

"Okay. Kero, kero. But how will you get there?"

Jason crouched down low before jumping using rocket boosters to give him a little more height. He created a glider and glided to the front.

Johnny drove over the edge of the ship and landed in the water with a hiss of steam before he took off towards the Fire Zone.

Tsu grabbed Mina and jumped towards the Mountain Zone.

"That's what happened." Jason told Aizawa.

"We will talk about your actions later, but we need to get the other students."

The Hand Villain grabbed Ochaco and stabbed her in between two of her ribs with a piece of debris and leveraged downward breaking her ribs.

"AAAHHHH!" She shrieked in pain.

"Ochaco!" Izuku yelled.

Jason ran at the Villain, but the Portal Villain created a portal sweeping them away.

Izuku ran to Ochaco and fell beside her.

Jason looked around and saw that the villains who hadn't been caught were being teleported away, and he grit his teeth.

The door burst open, and the students looked up to see All Might and Rogue.

"Rogue!" Jason yelled. "Ochaco needs a hospital! Now!"

"Right." Rogue said picking Ochaco up as carefully as she could, but still caused her to gasp in pain.

"I know sugar." Rogue said. "I'll get you to Recovery Girl as fast as I can without shaking you too much."

All Might walked in and looked around. "No. Why would they do this?"

"They wanted you dead." Jason said.

"What! Why?"

"Because, with the Symbol of peace dead, the world would be sent into Chaos?" Jason suggested.

"That's not a bad guess."

"I killed, All Might." Jason said, putting his head against All Might's chest. "I killed to protect my class and friends."

All Might put a hand on Jason's shoulder. "Do not worry young Todd. Unfortunately killing is a possibility in our profession, but if we take pleasure in ending a life... that is when it becomes wrong."

"I didn't kill to enjoy killing. I killed because they said they were going to torture and kill us until you got here."

"WHAT!" All Might yelled gritting his teeth in rage.

Pro Heroes and police showed up to take the Villains away.

When they found the bodies of the Aquatic Villains, they became worried.

Outside.

Jason was checking in on his classmates when the Police came to talk to him.

"Todd-Kun." The first officer said.

"Yes?"

"We have some questions we would like answered."

"Of course." Jason said as respectfully as he could. "Do you mind talking while I check on my classmates? I want to make sure they are all right."

"This will only take a moment and you can get back to checking on your classmates."

Jason walked a little way away with the officers.

Shoji looked at Jason and listened to the conversation.

"Is this about the dead Villains?" Jason asked.

"Yes. There were fourteen dead Villains inside. Twelve were around the Shipwreck Zone, one was in the entryway, and the last one was in the Fire Zone."

"We were surrounded by villains who wanted to torture us. I don't know what they had planned, but I can only assume that they wanted to torture and kill my classmates."

"That's pretty messed up." The second officer said.

"I wasn't sure what they wanted to do to us, but I thought up the worst-case scenario and went with it."

"Why would you do that?"

"Because if you go in thinking about the worst-case scenario... then you won't be surprised when it happens."

The officers looked at each other before looking at Jason.

"Who was you with?" The first officer asked. "If they can corroborate your story then we will leave it at that. You guys were in a pretty tough situation, and tensions were high."

"Thank you, officers. I was with Johnny Blaze, Mina Ashido, and Tsuyu Asui. May I go back to my class now?"

"Yeah. We'll contact you if we have any more questions."

"Thank you."

Jason walked back to class 1A. "Did you hear everything you wanted Shoji?" he asked in a whisper.

That jolted shoji out of his listening. "How did you know?" He asked when Jason walked by.

"It's what I would do." Jason said back.

"Did you really do it with our best interest in mind?"

"Yeah. No one threatens my classmates and friends." Jason said before walking to find Anna and Elsa.

He found the sisters crying in a heap.

"What happened? Are you both okay?"

Anna looked at him with watery eyes. "Someone tried to kill Elsa by imitating me." She cried.

This revelation fueled Jason's rage. "Is that all?"

"Someone tried killing me by imitating my ex." She whispered.

"An illusion-based fear Quirk?" He asked.

"Maybe." She spoke.

"Do you guys need anything?"

"No."

Jason hugged the sisters tightly before he walked towards Iida.

"Thank you for getting help."

"You're welcome. Though you didn't need it."

"We didn't know that." Jason whispered so only Iida heard. "We didn't know if we were going to be alive from one second to another."

Iida looked shocked. "I apologize for my rudeness."

"Don't worry about it." Jason said before patting Iida's shoulder.

He headed around asking if his classmates were doing okay.

They were mostly shaken by the attack.

He found Bakugo and decided to ask.

"You doing okay Katsuki?" He asked.

"Like you care."

"I do..."

"Bullshit!"

"Maybe if you weren't being an ass all the time we might get along."

"As if."

Jason lost his last semblance of patience. "You know what Bakugo."

"No! What!"

"Acting like a dick won't make yours any bigger! You overcompensating ass hole!"

The crowd of teachers, students, and emergency workers went quiet at that.

Jason continued his rounds.

He walked up to Izuku.

"How are you doing?"

"I hurt. The paramedics think I have a couple hurt ribs, and my throat is as dry as a desert."

Jason reached into his bag and pulled a water bottle out of it before handing it to Izuku.

Izuku downed the contents like a dehydrated man in a desert.

"Thanks." He said handing Jason his water bottle back.

"Don't mention it." Jason said before walking up to Mina.

"How are you doing?"

"I guess I'm doing as good as I can."

"I understand. Did the police come talk to you?"

"Yeah. I told them what happened."

"Good. I'm going to go check on the others."

"Okay."

Jason walked up to Tsu. "How are you holding up?"

"I'm doing okay. Kero, kero."

"Did you talk with the police?"

"Yes. I told them what we discussed and what we did."

"Good. They need to know what went on in there."

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For what you did in there, and for pushing me out of the way of that guy."

"Oh. You're welcome, though anyone would have done it."

"No. Not anyone would have done it. Kero, kero. That's why you doing it was so special."

Jason didn't know how to respond to that. "You're welcome." He spoke. "I'm going to go check with the others. When we're done here, we're going to head back to the school. I think everyone is exhausted."

"I would think so. Kero, kero."

Jason walked over to Johnny. "How are you doing?"

"Probably better than the others."

"I know right. You, Rogue, and I have more experience dealing with Villains than the others."

"Yeah. Some police officers came by and asked me what happened."

"And?"

"I told them the truth. We were surrounded by Villains and fought our way out."

"Thanks for that."

"No problem."

"Would you mind talking to Anna and Elsa?"

"Yeah, sure thing, no problem."

"Thanks." Jason said walking towards Rogue and Kaminari.

"Hey." He said to Rogue.

"Hey. I tried contacting you with that earpiece you gave me. I only heard static."

"So, they were jamming us."

"Yeah."

"Thank you for getting Ochaco to safety so quickly."

"You're welcome."

"Would you mind taking Izuku to see her if you can? I know it would probably cheer the both of them up."

"Yeah. Sure thing hon."

Rogue flew over to Izuku and picked him up under his arms before flying up.

"How are you doing?" Jason asked Kaminari.

Kaminari stayed silent.

The pieces clicked together. "You like Rogue." Jason said.

"Yeah." Kaminari said.

"You don't have to worry about me taking her away. She's more of a sister than anything."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but if you hurt her..." Jason let his voice drop. "...just know that she's got five really good friends, and two of them know how to hide bodies and evidence."

Kaminari went pale and ramrod straight.

"Nice talking with you." Jason said, conversationally, before walking away.

When Jason had talked with his classmates, he made his way back to the officers.

"Excuse me. Officers. I just wanted to check in with you two to see if I could head back to school with my class?"

"Yeah." The first officer said. "Your classmates corroborated your story. You're free to go."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Stay safe."

"You too." Jason said before leaving.

He walked back to the bus. "Okay guys." He spoke. "Let's go."

Everyone boarded the bus, and they headed back to U.A. High.

When they got back Jason went to talk to Recovery Girl.

He walked into the Infirmary and saw Izuku, Ochaco, and Rogue sitting in the room with Recovery Girl.

"Oh. Hello young Todd." Recovery Girl said. "Is there something I can do for you?"

"I was hoping to check in on my classmates."

"Oh. Very good. You are a good classmate."

"Jason is also the Class Representative." Izuku said.

"Oh. Well then. You are a good Class Rep."

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Here. Have some gummies. They will help you recover."

Jason took the gummy bears.

"Don't eat them all at once now."

"Thank you." Jason said, bowing.

"Thanks for coming to check on us." Ochaco said. "My parents are taking me out of U.A. for a week to help recover."

"Get better soon." Jason said.

"I will."

"Oh. Jason." Izuku said. "I have something to show you."

"What is it?"

Izuku took a deep breath and held it for five seconds before blowing out a gout of fire.

"What? What just happened?"

"I inherited my dad's Quirk."

"That's awesome."

"Thanks."

"That was sooo cool Deku." Ochaco said. "The way that you jumped onto that bird villain and blasted fire into its face."

"R-r-really?" Izuku asked with a blush.

Jason tapped Rogue on the back and nodded out the door.

The two left the Infirmary and went to get ready to leave.

"So." Rogue said.

"Yeah." Jason answered.

"Was it like you remembered?"

"No. It was worse."

"How was it worse?"

"The villains used to be trying to kill me and Bruce, but today... today they were trying to kill friends and classmates. They tried to kill Johnny, Mina, and..." Jason paused. Why did he feel this way?

"And who?"

"Tsu." Jason said not understanding why he felt so weird.

"Aw." Rogue said. "I think little Jason has a crush."

"A what?"

"Wait. Do you really not understand what a crush is?"

"I was an emotionally stunted kid who was killed at fifteen. What do you think?"

"Enough said. A crush is when you are attracted to someone but aren't officially dating."

"Wait. You mean like boyfriend/girlfriend?"

"Sort of. It starts out as a crush, and blossoms into romance."

"Nope." Jason said walking the other way.

"It is adorable that you think you can get away from this." Rogue said, grabbing his jacket.

"What if I told you that Johnny has a crush on Mina?"

Rogue thought about that. "I can see them being a couple."

When Rogue looked back, she saw that Jason had disappeared. "What the... how did he do that?"

Later that night.

The friends made sure that they got home safely, making sure that Anna and Elsa got home safely first, then Rogue, Izuku, Johnny, and finally Jason walked home alone.

Anna and Elsa.

Agnarr and Iduna were in the kitchen when the front door opened.

"Anna? Elsa?" Agnarr asked. "Did something happen at school?"

When the parents got to the front room, they saw the looks on their daughters faces.

When the sisters saw their parents, they ran to them and hugged them tightly.

"What happened?" Iduna asked.

The sisters told edited versions of what happened.

Agnarr and Iduna were horrified.

"Villains made you see what?" Agnarr asked.

"Th-they made me see Anna trying to kill me!" Elsa cried into her father's shoulder.

"A man was chasing me telling me that no one loved me!" Anna sobbed into her mother's chest.

The couple looked at each other before leading their daughters into the kitchen for dinner and hot chocolate hoping it would make their daughters feel better.

Rogue.

When Rogue walked through the door, she saw her mom waiting for her.

"Oh my gosh. Are you alright? Agnarr and Iduna called! Are you okay? What happened?"

"Mama!" Rogue said trying to push her mother away. "What are you talking about?"

"Agnarr called saying that the school was attacked. He said that Anna and Elsa were hysterical."

"I was sent to get help, so I'm not sure what happened except for what everyone told me."

"You aren't hurt, are you?"

"No mama." Rogue said.

"Oh, thank goodness." Raven said, grabbing Rogue in a crushing bear hug.

Rogue struggled against the hug at first, but the more her mom held her the more she realized she needed a hug.

She calmed down and hugged her mom and started crying.

"Marie?" Raven said.

"Oh gosh mama." Rogue cried. "I could have lost my friends. I didn't realize it until now, but they could have died, and I wouldn't have realized it until after the fact."

Raven held her daughter tightly, and the two stayed like that for a while until Rogue was able to get her emotions under control.

"Come into the kitchen for dinner."

Rogue followed her mom into the kitchen.

Izuku

When Izuku walked into his apartment he was scooped into a hug by his mom.

"IZUKUAREYOUALLRIGHT!AGNARRANDRAVENCALLEDSAYINGTHESCHOOLGOTATTACKEDBYVILLAINS!ICALLEDYOURFATHERANDWEAREBOTHSOWORRIED!"

Mom, mom. Mom! MOM!" Izuku finally yelled.

"What!"

"Please calm down and tell me what you said again."

"Are you alright? Agnarr and Raven called. They said that the school had been attacked by villains. I called your father. We are both worried."

"I'm all right. We did get attacked by villains. You called dad? How is he doing?"

"No. Answer me."

"Okay, okay. I'll tell you what happened."

Izuku spent the next several minutes telling his mom what happened.

When he got to the part where he fought the bird man his mom burst into tears when he told her about getting his dads fire-breathing Quirk, and how he got thrown into the floor before Jason killed the bird man.

Inko jumped up and called Sheila telling her to thank Jason for saving Izuku.

After she got off the phone with Sheila, she called Hisashi and told him the news about Izuku's Quirk.

"WHAT!" Hisashi yelled. "IZUKU GOT MY QUIRK!"

"Yes!" Inko said.

"THAT'S MY BOY! Can I talk to him?"

Inko handed Izuku the phone.

"Hello." Izuku said into the phone.

"IZUKU!" Hisashi yelled into the phone. "Congratulations on getting your Quirk! You'll make an amazing hero."

"Thanks dad."

"You're..."

"MIDORIYA!" A man yelled from the other side of the phone.

"Yes sir." Hisashi said.

"I'm not paying you to stand around!"

"Yes sir. Sorry sir, but my son got his Quirk."

"Congratulations, but he's not the one working, now, is he?"

"No sir."

"Then get back to work."

"Yes sir Mr. Todd."

'Todd?' Izuku thought.

"I've got to go now son, but..."

"Wait! Dad! Did you just call your boss Mr. Todd?"

"Yeah. My boss is Willis Todd. Why?"

"One of my friends from school is Jason Todd."

"It can't be the same Todd then. My boss has a picture of his family on his desk, and he has a wife and three kids. The oldest is a girl about your age. Though I wouldn't try hooking you two up because she's a... well. She's not a very nice person."

"Oh. Okay."

"I've got to go son but take care."

"I will. You too dad."

Izuku hung the phone up and looked at his mom.

"What would you like for dinner?"

"I don't know. I have to call Jason."

"O-okay."

Izuku ran to his room and called Jason.

Johnny.

Johnny walked into his house and was tackled by his mom who began looking him over.

"Are you okay? Did you get hurt? What happened? I heard that you were attacked by villains."

"Mom." Johnny said. "I'm okay. My Quirk saved me."

"What?" His dad said coming into the room. "What do you mean your Quirk saved you?"

Johnny opened his jacket to show a hole in his T-shirt where he was impaled. "If I hadn't been using my Quirk then I would have died... Actually I probably would have turned into the Rider."

Clara hugged Johnny tightly. She had never been more grateful for her sons Quirk than this moment.

Johnny went to the back yard and changed into the Rider.

He fell to his knees and roared into the sky.

He started punching the ground and clawed at his face.

Clara came outside and wrapped him in a hug. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"I just want the images to stop!" He spoke.

"Images? What images?"

"The images of the man kidnaping and killing children."

Clara didn't know what to do. She just held Johnny while he shook with emotion.

"Come here." She said, pulling him into the house.

They sat on the couch and rocked him back and forth not knowing what else she could do.

Once Johnny fell asleep, she started crying.

Barton put his hands on her shoulders to comfort her.

"What are we going to do?" She asked.

"Johnny's a strong kid babe. I know that he will overcome this."

"He's only fourteen."

"I know, but he's always gotten up after he fell down.

Clara nodded. She hoped Barton was right.

Jason

Jason walked into his apartment and slid down the front door.

"Jason?" Sheila asked.

"Hey mom." He said weakly.

"Agnarr, Clara, Inko, and Raven called. They told me what happened. Do you want to talk about it?"

"I don't know. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the whole thing."

"You were attacked by villains who wanted to..."

Jason's phone rang. He answered it without looking at the caller I.D.

"Jason!" Izuku yelled through the other end. "What was your dad's name?"

"What? Why?"

"What was your dad's name?"

"I don't know. I was really young when he left."

"What is it?" Sheila asked.

"What was dad's name?"

"Willis Todd. Why?"

"My dad's name was Willis Todd. Why do you want to know?"

"Because I know where he is."

"You do?"

"Yeah. He is in America."

"How did you figure that out?"

"I talked to my dad, and he called his boss Mr. Todd. He has a family with another woman! He has a daughter our age!"

"WHAT!" Jason roared. "He not only left my mom after she gave birth to me, but he knocked up another woman before he left her! I'll kill him!"

"Jason! What are you talking about?"

"Apparently dad was cheating on you before he left!" Jason yelled.

"What?"

"Yeah!"

"Jason?" Izuku said.

"What!" Jason snapped before calming down. "What?" he asked more calmly.

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. It's that bastards."

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Jason said before hanging up.

Sheila hugged Jason. "I'm sorry."

"I should be saying that to you." He said hugging his mom back.

"Why?" Sheila asked, holding Jason at arm's length.

"Because that bastard was cheating on you even before you had me. He deserves to be covered in honey and hung from a tree for the bears to eat."

"First off. Don't swear. Second. Your father was always too busy with work. We were never intimate with each other. He married me for the status of being married."

"So... how did I... was I adopted?"

"No, no. Of course not, but I wouldn't love you any less if you were. I used artificial insemination to get pregnant."

Jason knew that his mom was lying, he could feel that it was a lie, but it wasn't malicious, so he left it alone. "So that bastard didn't love you enough to have a family. You had to do it artificially?"

Sheila hugged Jason. "You know that I love you right?"

Jason hugged his mom. "Yeah. I know."

"Let's get takeout." Sheila said.

"Okay." Jason said. "I'm going to go shower."

"Okay. I'll call you when the food gets here."

"Okay." Jason said, walking to his room.

The next day.

The friends were walking into the courtyard when they heard Bakugo.

"Todd!" Bakugo yelled.

"Not today, Bakugo." Jason said.

Bakugo used his Quirk and sent Jason face first into the ground.

Jason got up and wiped his face off. "You know what!" He said dropping his bag. "Screw you!" He ran at Bakugo and clotheslined him before putting him in a chokehold and tightening his grip.

Bakugo clawed at Jason's arm, but it was locked into place. He used his Quirk to try and get Jason away.

Jason went flying but flipped landing on his feet and ran back at Bakugo.

Bakugo threw an explosion at Jason who vaulted over him and punched him in the kidney before grabbing his head and slamming him into the floor.

Jason rammed his knee into Bakugo's kidney. "I'm sick and tired of your bullshit! What the hell is your problem!"

"TODD! BAKUGO!" Aizawa yelled. "Principles office! NOW!"

Jason got off Bakugo's back, grabbed his backpack, and headed to Principle Nedzu's office.

Rogue helped Bakugo to his feet, but she wasn't wearing her gloves in an attempt to see what was wrong.

She gasped, and Bakugo shoved her away.

"Get away from me you bitch!"

Johnny strode forward, determined to put Bakugo in his place.

"Wait." Rogue whispered.

"But he..."

"No." Rogue said with tears in her eyes.

Johnny was taken aback. "Did he make you cry?"

"No. Bakugo's an abuse victim."

Chapter 9: Therapy Part 1 of ?

Summary:

Class 1A get's therapy after the USJ incident. They get specialized help from Jean with her Psychic Quirk.

Chapter Text

AN: I don't own the Characters used in this chapter

Jason was sitting in the office when he received a text from Rogue. He looked at his phone and was shocked, by the text.

R: Bakugo's mom abuses him.

R: verbally.

Jason rubbed his face. 'Damn it! Some detective I am. Batman would have figured it out almost immediately. Instead, I made it worse by attacking him in a vulnerable state. Shit!' He looked over at Bakugo.

"What do you want Todd!" Bakugo snapped when he saw Jason looking at him.

"Are you okay?" Jason asked sincerely. "I really mean it. Are you okay?"

"Of course, I am! Why wouldn't I be?"

"What about at home?"

Bakugo went quiet.

There was silence for a few long seconds.

"If you are in a bad situation there are people you can talk to..."

"Shut up Todd!"

Principle Nedzu walked out of his office. "Ah. Young Todd, Young Bakugo. Please. Come in, come in."

The two went in.

"Please. Sit down." Principle Nedzu said before sitting at his desk.

The two sat down.

"Now. Please tell me what happened."

"Todd called me an overcompensating ass hole yesterday!" Bakugo yelled.

"Oh my. Why did you say that Young Todd?"

"Yesterday was stressful, and all that stress built up before exploding out. I'm sorry."

"Yesterday was a stressful day. Are you still afflicted by it?"

"Yes sir."

"What happened this morning?"

"Bakugo attacked me and slammed my face into the floor with his Quirk."

"Why did you do that Young Bakugo?"

"He called me an overcompensating ass hole!"

"Please do not take that tone with me. Now. Words are just words. We give words their power. The sharpest blades are made from words, not steel. Also. The people who we respect have the sharpest words that cut the deepest. You must really respect young Todd if his words impact you so much."

"WHAT!"

"Young Bakugo! If you keep this up, you will be given detention!"

Bakugo went quiet.

"Now. How do we expect to fix this?"

"I'm sorry Bakugo. It wasn't a way for a Class Representative to act."

"What are you doing Todd!"

"I am acting like a Class Representative should act. Bakugo. If there is anything you need, please, let me, as your Class Representative, know so I can help you."

"DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ME!" Bakugo yelled.

"What the hell is your problem?" Jason asked.

"You think that you can just look down on me because you are the Class Representative!"

"What? No! What is your problem?"

"Students." Principle Nedzu said in a scolding tone. "Please. Calm down."

Jason wanted to argue but refrained.

Bakugo grit his teeth but calmed down.

"Thank you. Now. Classes have been canceled until all of Class 1A has talked to our Hero counselor. An experience like this was bound to impact you children."

Jason nodded.

"WHAT!" Bakugo yelled. "I DON'T..."

"Enough!" Principle Nedzu snipped. "I am sorry Katsuki, but you are not the only one who was at the USJ! I know that you are a very private person, but that does not mean that you can disgrace a teacher by yelling at them!"

Bakugo looked at his feet.

"Now. Jason. As Class Representative I want you to get everyone ready to meet with Black San."

"Of course, Sensei."

"You are both free to leave."

Jason and Bakugo left Principle Nedzu's office.

"I'm going to say something." Jason said. "And if you want to hit me afterwards you will have one free punch. Any extra will cost you so make it count."

"What do you want Todd!"

"I want you to tell me if the reason you are an ass all the time is because of the way your family treats you."

"What do you even know about family problems? You have the perfect family..."

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Jason shouted. "You don't know shit! I got a second chance! I don't know if you believe in reincarnation, but I remember a past life! A past life that was terrible! I know what rotten food tastes like, but I have never eaten rotten food before! I know what it feels like to be beaten for the crime of sleeping in the wrong spot on the street! I have memories that I shouldn't have. Now tell me. Does that sound like I don't know what I'm talking about?"

Bakugo looked at Jason. 'If he really was reincarnated then his skill makes more sense.' "Why should I believe you?"

"There is nothing I can do or say to make you believe me. Either you will or you won't."

Bakugo pushed past Jason. "Let's just finish this so we can get back to class."

Class 1A met in the hallway outside their class.

"Hello." Black San said. "My name is Jean Black. I will be talking with you today. If you need to talk about anything, please feel free to. Now first up is Yuga Aoyama."

Yuga Aoyama

"Hello Aoyama." Jean said.

"Hello Black San." Aoyama said.

"Hi. I know that it can be difficult to talk to someone about trauma, but..."

"J'ai rate mes amis! Mon Quirk est inutile! Comment faire face a mes amis en sachant combien je les ai rates?" (I failed my friends! My Quirk is useless! How can I face my friends knowing how much I failed?).

Jean listened as Aoyama poured out his fears in front of her. She had to learn how to translate different languages to help Heroes who spoke different languages. "Aoyama. You are only fifteen years old trying to learn how to use your Quirk to become a Hero. You are only in high school. Do you really think that the teachers expect you to know how to fight villains right now?"

"Je ne sais pas." (I don't know.)

"No. They don't. They shouldn't expect first year students to know how to fight Villains."

"Vraiment?" (Really?)

"Yes."

"Est-ce que je pourrai controler mon Quirk un jour?" (Will I be able to control my Quirk one day?)

"Of course, you will. You just need to work hard at it, and you will be able to control it just fine."

"Merci, Black te manque." (Thank you Black San.)

"You're very welcome, Aoyama. Please send in Ashido next."

Mina Ashido.

"Mina. Would you like to talk about what happened yesterday?"

"Yesterday my class was attacked. I saw a classmate get impaled, pull the spear that was used to impale him out of his body, grab the Villain that Impaled him by the throat, and kill him by looking at him! Then the same classmate, and another classmate killed twelve Villains as if they had been doing it all their lives, and- and..." Mina was near tears.

"And what Mina?"

"And I helped kill some of them!" Mina shouted as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Jean walked over to Mina and hugged her. "I'm so sorry Mina. That must have been difficult."

Mina grabbed Jean and sobbed into her shoulder. "I-I Know th-that I did the ri-right thing by saving us, but-but..."

"But you still feel bad for killing."

"Yes-s-s-s!" Mina wailed.

Jean hugged Mina and held her. 'Damn those Villains. Attacking children.'

Once Mina calmed down Jean gave her a moment to compose herself.

"Will you send Asui in?" Jean asked.

"Yeah." Mina said leaving.

Tsuyu Asui.

"Good morning, Asui." Jean said.

"Please call me Tsu." Tsu said.

"All right Tsu. Would you like to talk about yesterday?"

"We were attacked. We defended ourselves. It was life or death."

"You are taking it really well."

"I don't like killing, but Jason told us that if it came to us and the Villains to choose us. I did. Is that wrong?"

"That is difficult question to answer. Did you enjoy killing?"

"I didn't kill, but I didn't stop Jason and Johnny from killing."

"How did that make you feel?"

"I don't know. I'm glad that I'm alive."

"Good."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Even though I didn't kill them, is it a bad thing that I'm glad that they are dead?"

"Again, that is a difficult question to answer."

Tsu looked down.

Jean could hear Tsu's thoughts. 'Should I ask her if it's bad that I like Jason because of how determined he was to save us?'

"Was there something else?" Jean said, trying to hide a smile.

"No."

"Okay. Please send in Iida."

"Of course." Tsu said leaving the room.

Tenya Iida

Iida stood in front of Jean.

"You can sit down Iida."

"Thank you Black San."

"Would you like to talk about yesterday?"

"Yes. Thank you very much."

"Was there anything about yesterday that bothered you?"

"I am thankful that I was fast enough to save my classmates, but I have asked myself 'What would have happened if I wasn't fast enough?' How do I handle that Black San?"

"That is very deep Iida. How does it make you feel?"

"I do not like feeling this way."

"Well. Can I ask you what you are going to do about it?"

"The only thing I can."

"And what is that?"

"I must become faster. I must become fast enough that I don't have to worry about being too slow."

"I applaud your confidence, but don't push yourself too hard. There is a difference between pushing past your limitations and pushing beyond what you are capable of. Remember that."

"Thank you. I will."

"Is that all you wanted to talk about?"

"Yes, Black San."

"Thank you, Iida. Please send in Ojiro."

"You're welcome." Iida said with a bow.

Mashirao Ojiro

Ojiro stood in front of Jean.

"Good morning, Ojiro. How are you doing?"

"Good morning Black San. I am doing well."

"That's good. Please. Take a seat."

Ojiro sat down and looked at Jean.

"Would you like to talk about yesterday?"

"Elsa and I were in the Fire Zone. We were surrounded by Villains, and Elsa was weak because of her Quirk. I tried my best to protect her, but It wasn't enough."

"I'm sure you did your best."

"Elsa began crying and begging Anna's forgiveness. I turned around and saw a Villain walking towards her, but when I tried getting to her the, other Villains stopped me. I thought Elsa was going to be killed."

"What happened next?"

I was fighting the Villains as fast as I could in order to get to Elsa, but it seemed like if I hit one, two more took its place. The Villain raised a knife to kill Elsa, but then music started blaring."

"Why is that important?"

"It was 'Highway to Hell' and Johnny showed up. The first thing he did was kill the Villain targeting Elsa."

"What did he do?"

"He blew his head off with a shotgun at point-blank range."

"That must have been traumatizing."

Ojiro shuddered for a second. "Sorry."

"No, no. Don't be. You went through several traumatic experiences yesterday. Sometimes the best thing to do is talk about them."

Ojiro took a deep breath. "After Johnny killed the Villain, the Villains I was fighting disappeared, and Elsa let out a blood curdling scream before yelling 'ANNA!'."

Jean watched the memory and held back a shudder. "That must have been scary."

"Sometimes I close my eyes and that is all I hear."

"Oh. I'm so sorry Ojiro."

They sat in silence for a moment before Jean spoke up again.

"Would you like some time alone before going outside again?"

"Yes please."

"Okay." Jean said, getting up. "I'll be outside when you are ready to come out."

Ojiro nodded, and Jean left.

When Jean stepped outside, she saw the other students looking at her. "Ojiro needed some time. Why don't you take a five-minute break?"

The students left the hallway to use the restroom, get something to eat or drink, and came back five minutes later.

When they got back Ojiro was sitting in the Hallway.

"Kaminari." Ojiro said. "You're next."

Denki Kaminari.

"Hi Kaminari." Jean said.

"Hi." Kaminari mumbled.

"How are you doing?"

Kaminari shrugged. "I don't know. I tried to help out, but the only thing I did was hinder Momo and Kyoka."

"How so?" Well, I tried to shock all of the Villains surrounding us, but I wasn't able to, and I was used as a hostage to keep Momo and Kyoka from attacking the Villain who attacked me. What kind of Hero does that?"

"More than you think."

"Wait. Really?"

"Yes. Do you know how many Heroes come to me with that exact problem?"

"No. How many?"

"Quite a few. You're young, and you've already learned one of the hardest lessons of being a Hero."

"Really?"

"Yes. How did you feel?

"Well... I felt bad, but I also felt sad."

"Why sad?"

"Well. I kind of wanted to get to know someone in class a little better, and I thought that I might not get that chance."

Jean caught glimpses of Rogue. "Do you want to talk about them?"

"I don't know."

"Talking about them might give you the courage to talk to them."

"It's Rogue. I don't know why, but I think I might like her. She's stern, but in a way that I want to respect rather than make fun of."

"I think you might be developing a crush for her."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"How do I tell her?"

"Just go tell her. You just need a confidence boost."

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"I don't know."

Jean looked at Kaminari and implanted a small boost of confidence. "Do you want to tell Rogue how you feel?"

"Yes." Kaminari said standing up and walking out of the room before Jean could ask him to send in Kirishima.

Jean walked outside and saw Kaminari walk up to Rogue and tell her how he felt about her. 'Sorry.' She thought when she saw Rogue blush at Kaminari. "Eijiro Kirishima." She called.

Kirishima walked into the room.

Eijiro Kirishima

When Eijiro sat down he looked at Jean.

"Hello Kirishima."

"Hello Black San."

"Would you like to talk about yesterday?"

"What about yesterday?"

"Was there anything that you want to talk about from yesterday?"

"I don't think so. I was pretty manly yesterday."

"Manly? What do you mean by saying you were manly?"

"Bakugo and I held our own and took care of the villains. That's pretty manly... right?"

"Well. I suppose so, but is being manly really what being a hero is all about?"

"Well... yeah. Crimson Riot says that a hero is manly." Kirishima flexed.

Jean smiled. "Have you thought that your words can impact others?"

"What do you mean?"

"When you say manly do you say it in a general term, or do you mean saying manly?"

"I've never really thought about it. I've always said it. My dads say it all the time."

"I see."

"Have I been saying something wrong?"

"No. Not necessarily."

"Can I go now?" Eijiro asked.

"Yes. Please send in Koda?"

"Okay." Kirishima said leaving.

Koji Koda

"Hi Koji." Jean said.

"Hi." Koda signed.

"Do you want to talk about yesterday?"

"Not really."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. I'm sure."

"Okay. If you want to talk later just come ask me, okay?"

"Okay."

"Please send Sato in next."

Rikido Sato.

Sato sat down.

"Hello Sato."

"Hi."

"Would you like to talk about yesterday?"

"Yesterday I was frozen in fear. A Villain told another to attack us and Midoriya was the only one who jumped to our defense. The rest of us were frozen in fear. Maybe if we would have reacted sooner then maybe Ochaco wouldn't be in the hospital."

"Hey, hey. How old are you?"

"Fifteen."

"That's right. You are fifteen years old. Don't take this the wrong way, but what do you think a fifteen-year-old can do against Villains?"

"Midoriya jumped into the fight..."

"If Midoriya jumped off a cliff, would you follow?"

"No. Not unless he had a plan."

Jean pinched the bridge of her nose. "Jumping off a cliff is never a good idea."

"Okay."

"Was there something else you wanted to talk about?"

"Other than the fact that I froze during that fight no."

"It's not your fault. As humans our bodies are hardwired with natural instincts. You've heard about about Fight or Flight right?"

"Yes."

"Most people have, but the one that most people seem to forget all the time is Freeze."

"Freeze?"

"Yes. Our natural instincts say that if we can Fight our way out then we should fight to get away. If we can't Fight our way out then our bodies do two things. If our bodies think we can escape the threat then we will run, that's Flight, but if our bodies don't think we can escape then our bodies will Freeze in the hopes that the threat will not see us because most threats in the animal kingdom are movement based. It's primal."

"Oh. I see."

"So it's not your fault that you froze. It was your primal brain saying "We can't fight, we can't run, maybe if we stand still the threat won't see us and move on." Does this make sense?"

"Oh, okay. Yes."

"Do you have any other questions?"

"No. Thank you"

"Okay. You're excused. Please send in Shoji."

Mezo Shoji.

"Hi Shoji."

"Good morning, Black San."

"Is there something you'd like to talk about from yesterday?"

"I am concerned about something."

"What is it?"

"Jason admitted to killing the Villains in the Shipwreck Zone."

Jean didn't know how to take that. "How does that make you feel?"

"We are heroes. Should we really be killing?"

"Shoji. I'm going to ask you something."

"Okay."

"The Villains yesterday. What were their intentions for you?"

"They said that they were going to kill All Might."

"What were they going to do to you?"

"They said that they were going to torture and kill us."

"You have exceptional hearing. Was that all the Villains wanted to do?"

"Not all of them. Some of them had other motives."

"Okay. Now, I'm not saying what Jason did was good, but he refused to let you guys get hurt. Were his motives a little violent? Probably, but the Villains wanted to do worse. Should you really be worried about what Jason did?"

"I suppose not."

"I'm not trying to make you feel bad..."

"I understand. I suppose that my worries are unnecessary."

"If Jason starts killing people when it's not necessary then you can worry."

"Thank you. I will."

"You're welcome. Is that all?"

"Did I do enough yesterday?"

"Did you do everything you could have?"

"I believe so."

"Then I would say yes."

"Then that is all."

"Very well. Please send Jiro in."

"Of course." Shoji said leaving.

Kyoka Jiro

Jiro walked into the room and sat down.

"Good morning, Jiro."

"Morning."

"Would you like to talk about yesterday?"

"I guess."

"What happened yesterday?"

"Well. Momo and I were with Denki in the Mountain Zone."

"What happened?"

"We were surrounded by Villains. We fought as best we could, but we became overwhelmed, and Denki tried evening the odds by sending out an electrical pulse that took out most of the Villains."

"What happened next?"

"A Villain with an electrical Quirk was unaffected and was going to electrocute Denki unless we surrendered."

"And?"

"We did. What else could we have done?"

"Fair point. What happened after that?"

"We thought we were done for until Mina showed up."

"What did you do?"

"We took the chance to take him out. Momo used her Quirk to send a pole into his forehead, and I created a sonic blast with the stereo in my boot."

"I see. Did you knock him out or kill him?"

"We knocked him out and headed back towards the entryway."

"Okay." Jean felt something. "Is there something else you wanted to talk about?"

Jiro blushed. "How do you know if you like someone or if it's something else?"

"Is it Momo, Denki, or Mina?"

"Momo." Jiro blushed.

"You might have strong feelings for her because you both survived a horrifying experience. Wait a week. If the feelings are still there, then go talk to her."

"Okay."

"Is there anything else?"

"No."

"Then you are excused. Please send Hanta in."

"Thank you."

Hanta Sero.

Hanta walked into the room.

"Hi Hanta."

"Hello."

"Would you like to talk about yesterday?"

"I'm going to be honest."

"Please do."

"Yesterday was probably the scariest day of my life."

"I can imagine."

"I mean. When that guy said his purpose was to torture and kill us. I wasn't sure what to do. I mean Bakugo and Kirishima. They threw themselves at the guy. Rogue and Iida took off to get the Teachers. Midoriya and Jason fought off Villains alongside Aizawa Sensei, and the other students got scattered."

"How did that make you feel?"

"Scared... but also... jealous."

This caught Jean off guard. "Would you mind elaborating on that?"

"The others got to be heroic while the others and I stood around."

"But you followed your teacher's instructions."

"I know, but... how can I call myself a Hero if I am scared and jealous?"

'There's the problem.' Jean thought. "So, you are worried about being Jealous?"

"Yeah. Heroes aren't meant to be Jealous of other Heroes."

"True, but you are still young. You will learn."

"Really?"

"Yes. I was very jealous of others when I went here."

"You were?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"My Quirk was unstable, and I was bullied relentlessly for it, and some students even called me a Villain for it."

"THAT'S NOT COOL!"

"No. I guess it wasn't, but as you can see. I pushed past it, and now those heroes who called me a Villain come to me when they feel inadequate."

"Really?"

"Yes. I don't hold a grudge against them because that's not very Heroic, but they do realize that they messed up and apologize."

"That's good."

"Yes, I guess it is."

"Thank you, Black San."

"You're very welcome. Is that all?"

"Yes."

"You're excused. Please send in Tokoyami."

"Okay. Thanks again."

"You're welcome."

Fumikage Tokoyami

"Good morning." Tokoyami said walking into the room and standing next to the chair.

"Good morning, Tokoyami. You can take a seat."

"Thank you." Tokoyami said sitting down.

"Would you like to talk about yesterday?"

"Koda and I were in the Squall Zone. We were surrounded by Villains and might have lost if Tsuyu hadn't shown up."

""By lost do you mean..."

"Died, been caught, tortured. Whatever those Villains were planning to do to us."

"That must have been scary."

"For Koda perhaps."

Jean poked at Tokoyami's mental walls.

"I wouldn't." A dark voice said, causing Jean to jump.

"Wouldn't what?" Tokoyami asked.

"She was trying to probe your mind."

"Did you wish to see if I was lying?" Tokoyami asked Jean.

"Yes. Sometimes people try to hide their true thoughts and feelings. My Quirk can help with that."

"I thank you for your concern, but I have nothing to hide."

"Then why block me?"

"You wouldn't want to see inside my mind."

"If you don't want me to look inside then just say so."

"I would very much like it if you stayed out of my mind."

"Very well. I won't look inside your mind. I do ask that you keep my Quirk a secret. While I do not use it with dangerous intent, I use my Quirk to help people and Heroes who are hurting, and I would like it to stay that way."

"I will honor your wishes so long as you honor mine."

"I can agree to that."

"Thank you. May I be excused?"

"Yes. You are free to leave. Please send Shoto in."

Tokoyami nodded and left.

Jean looked at her watch. 'Two more the lunch, and I'll finish the rest.'

Shoto Todoroki

Shoto walked in and sat down.

"Good morning Shoto."

Shoto nodded.

"Would you like to talk about yesterday?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Would you like to talk about anything else?"

"No."

"What about that burn?"

Shoto's eye's flashed dangerously. "No." He said deliberately.

Jean got a flash of a woman pouring boiling water on Shoto. If not for many years of training she would have shown that she knew, but thanks to that training she kept her poker face. "Okay. What about your father?"

"If you mean my sperm donor then no."

Jean got a flash of Endeavor hurting Shoto's mom and siblings.

"Why do you call him your Sperm donor?" She got a flash of Endeavor's "Training". More like torture.

"Because. He's not my father. Just the man who knocked up my mom."

Jean felt that Shoto still loved his mom but was still cautious about her.

"Okay. Do you want to talk about your mom?"

"Not really." Shoto said in a softer tone than before.

"Okay. So, there is nothing you want to talk about?"

"No."

"Then you are excused. Please send in Toru."

Shoto got up, bowed, and left.

Toru Hagakure

"U-um Hello." Toru said walking in.

"Good morning, Toru."

"Good morning, Black San."

"Please. Take a seat."

Toru sat down.

"Would you like to talk about yesterday?"

"U-um. N-not re-really."

"Is something wrong?"

"N-no."

Jean looked inside Toru's mind. There wasn't much resistance at all.

'She can't find out that I hid while Ojiro and Elsa were in trouble.'

'Ah.' Jean thought. 'I have to handle this delicately.' "Yesterday was scary, wasn't it?"

"U-um yeah."

"Some people would have probably hidden."

"Eep." Was Toru's only response.

"It's not a crime to be afraid you know."

"Is it a crime to hide while two of your classmates fight for their lives?" Toru asked before she slapped her hands over her mouth.

"No. Sometimes fear gets the better of us, and we act on our basic survival instincts, Fight, Flight, or Freeze."

Toru began crying.

Jean got up and hugged Toru. "Cry for as long as you need."

Jean felt arms wrap around her and Toru began sobbing into her stomach.

Toru stayed like that for fifteen minutes.

When Toru was finished crying Jean sat back down. "Do you want to stay here for a while to regain your composure?"

"Yes please." Toru said with a sniff.

"Okay. I'm going to send everyone else to lunch. I'll have something brought to you."

"Okay. Thank you."

Jean left the room and was surprised to see Lunch Rush and Principal Nedzu in the hall.

"Ah Jean." Nedzu said. "I asked Lunch Rush to fix up a lunch for the students. I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all. I was about to release them to lunch anyway."

"Splendid, splendid."

"Could I get a lunch for Hagakure?"

"Of course." Lunch Rush said handing a tray with white rice, mixed fresh vegetables, and a sushi roll. "And one for yourself." Lunch Rush said handing her a tray with Tori Katsu instead of Sushi.

"Thank you."

"You are most welcome."

Jean walked back into the room.

"Hi Toru. Would you like Sushi or Tori Katsu?"

"Tori Katsu please."

"Here you go."

"Thank you. That was fast."

"You're welcome. Principal Nedzu had Lunch Rush bring some over here."

"Oh. Well, I'll have to thank him too."

The two sat in silence as they ate their lunches

Anna, Elsa, Rogue, Denki, Jason, Tsu, Johnny, Mina, Midoriya, Ochaco, and Tenya sat together while eating lunch.

Mineta had tried to squeeze in between Anna and Elsa but decided against it when he saw a flaming skeleton, a pair of red and black eyes, a flaming skeleton with red and black eyes, a pair of frigid eyes, and six sets of cold eyes glared at him.

"Is there something I'm missing here?" Denki asked.

"Mineta is a pervert." Mina said.

"He is?"

Rogue looked at Denki. "Have you not noticed?"

"Not really."

"Okay. You are either blind, or you think that a guy being a perv is an accomplishment."

"No, no. It's not that. I just thought he was more passionate about..."

"There's a word about guys who are more passionate about girls." Anna said.

"It's pervert." Elsa finished.

"I didn't know that!"

"Well." Rogue said patting his shoulder. "Now you do."

Denki glared at Mineta.

"Hey!" Mineta shouted. "You were just as excited about the peephole in the locker room as I was!"

Jason created a knife and jumped at Mineta grabbing one of the purple balls on his head.

Mineta popped it off and the ball stuck to Jason's hand. "What's your problem!" He yelled.

Jason created a glove in between his hand and the ball, melting the ball.

The look of sheer terror on Mineta was equal parts priceless and terrifying.

"SOMEONE HELP ME!" Mineta yelled.

"Now, now." Principal Nedzu said coming over. "What seems to be the problem here?"

"TODD IS TRYING TO KILL ME!" Mineta shouted.

"Mr. Todd. Would you care to explain yourself?"

"Mineta just admitted to looking through a peephole in the locker room."

The girls let out disgusted noises and began marching on Mineta.

"Please sit down." Principal Nedzu said before turning to Mineta. "Is this true?"

"U-um Y-yes s-sir."

"Come with me."

Nedzu and Mineta walked into the room, and Toru walked out a minute later.

"Principal Nedzu said that we should get comfortable. We could be here a while."

The rest of the students sat down grumbling about Mineta.

"What happened while I was in there?"

"Mineta admitted that he was peeping into the girl's locker room." Momo said.

"Eep!" Toru said, covering herself.

"You are invisible." Denki said. "It's not like he can see you... right?"

Twenty-three sets of eyes glared at him.

"Um..."

"Dude." Kirishima said. "It's not very manly to look at a girl naked at any time."

"Yeah." The girls said in unison, glad that at least one of their classmates was standing up for them.

"I didn't mean it like that!" Denki said waving his hands in front of him.

"Then what did you mean by it?" Rogue asked.

"Children, children." Lunch Rush said. "Please calm down. We will get this all sorted out soon enough."

Denki bowed his head in shame. "I'm sorry."

"I know." Rogue said. "But you should really change the way you act towards girls and women."

"I will."

Mineta walked out shortly after that with a devastated look on his face.

"Lunch Rush." Principal Nedzu said. "Would you please escort Mineta to my office?"

"Of course." Lunch Rush said.

Five minutes ago.

Mineta and Nedzu walked into the room Jean was using for her counseling sessions.

"I'm sorry principal Nedzu." Jean said. "But..."

"I understand Jean, but this matter is urgent."

"Very well. Toru. Could you excuse us?"

"Uh huh." Toru said getting up and leaving.

"Sit down young Mineta." Nedzu said sternly.

Mineta sat down.

"Good. Now tell us. What have you been doing?"

"I didn't know what I was doing was wrong."

Jean looked inside Mineta's mind. She saw Mineta hitting on girls. When they told him to stop, he would act like he hadn't heard them or come back the next day and try again. His current target was Anna. He would ogle the female students both in and out of costume. He would set up scenarios to get the girls into certain positions to ogle them better.

The last thing she saw made her sick.

Mineta found a peephole in the locker room and would look at the girls as they changed. He showed Denki Kaminari who thought it was all fun and games and let it go at that.

To make matters worse this started three years ago when he hit puberty. The boy had been treating girls this way for the last three years.

When Jean was done, she was boiling in rage. She mentally sent what she learned to Nedzu who went over it.

"Mineta!" Nedzu snipped. "I know what you did, and I see three options for you. 1.) You can take a month-long detention where you will take a class on sexual harassment awareness. 2.) You are given a week of suspension where you will be taught the same course. Or 3.) You will be expelled from UA and put-on Parole, and a sexual predator watchlist that will keep you from becoming a hero."

"WHAT!" Mineta yelled.

"You brought this upon yourself."

"But-but. I can't be expelled!"

"So that leaves the suspension or the month-long class." Jean said.

"I'll take the class!" Mineta yelled.

"Very well. Come with me." Nedzu said

Mineta got up and left with Principal Nedzu leaving Jean in the room.

Jean thought about something else that she saw.

Mineta, Todoroki, and Anna were in the Landslide zone.

Todoroki had just taken out a group of Villains

"That's kind of mean." Anna said.

Mineta realized that Anna was there and turned towards her.

"Go out with me!" Mineta yelled.

"Ew, gross!" Anna said.

Mineta kept advancing on Anna, and Anna fell down cowering begging him to stop.

Mineta was drooling at the thought of Anna begging him.

'More, more, more! I want Anna to beg me more! I can already imagine the things I could do to her.'

Anna punched Mineta in the face. "LEAVE ME ALONE HANS!" Anna yelled.

This caused Jean to jump out of the memory. 'Who is Hans?"

Jean decided to ask Anna when she got the chance, but that was later.

She walked outside the room and spoke. "Bakugo."

"I don't want to talk!" Bakugo shouted.

"Okay." Jean placated. "If you change your mind..."

"I won't!"

"Fine. Midoriya. You're next."

Midoriya walked in and sat down.

Izuku Midoriya.

Midoriya walked in and stood at attention.

"You don't have to be worried Midoriya. You aren't in trouble."

"Okay."

"Would you like to sit down."

"Yes. Thank you."

"Would you like to talk about yesterday?"

Midoriya began wringing his hands. "Yesterday-yesterday I almost hurt Uraraka. I threw a throwing knife, and a man with a portal Quirk sent it flying in front of her face. I was reckless, and Uraraka almost paid the price. If Jason hadn't shown up... I don't want to think about what would have happened. Uraraka was hurt by A Villain with a decaying Quirk. He stabbed her with a piece of debris, and broke two of her ribs. Thankfully Aizawa Sensei took his Quirk and kept him from killing her. I didn't help her."

"You doubt yourself too easily."

"What could I have done to keep Uraraka from getting hurt?"

"Nothing perhaps, but you did what you could."

"What's the point of being a Hero if you can't save everyone?"

Jean pinched the bridge of her nose. "You are foolish young Midoriya."

"What?"

"A Hero isn't going to be able to save everyone. They make it safer for the ones they can."

"I can't accept that!" Midoriya yelled. "I have to be able to save everyone!"

Jean looked inside Midoriya's head. She saw Midoriya watching the clip of All Might saving those people with a smile on his face. She watched as Midoriya befriended Jason, Johnny, Anna, Elsa, and Rogue. She watched the times that Bakugo tried attacking Midoriya, but his friends intervened. She watched the good times, and the bad times Midoriya and his friends went through. She watched him exercising to become Hero, and training with All Might before taking All Might's Quirk, and the training he'd done since then to get stronger.

"Black San?" Izuku asked.

"Yes?"

"You got quiet. I was wondering if you were all right."

"Yes. Thank you. Midoriya?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think that you are pushing yourself too fast?"

"What do you mean?"

"How much of your Quirk can you control?"

"About twenty percent if I push myself."

"Okay. That's not too bad. What if you train your Quirk completely before you try saving everyone?"

"Do you mean to focus on my training?"

"Yes. Why don't you focus on your training?"

"I suppose I could."

"I'm sure that if you train then you can be just like All Might."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Izuku took a deep breath and started crying.

"Midoriya! Are you alright?"

"Yes." Midoriya cried. "I'm just so happy that you believe in me."

"I take it that not many people believe in you?"

"Not really."

"They will."

"Thank you." Izuku said, drying his tears.

"You're welcome. Is there something else you want to talk about?"

"I'm not sure if it's my place to say."

Jean read his mind.

'Do I tell her about Jason's dad?'

"Does it have something to do with you or a friend?"

"A friend."

"Will they talk about it?"

"I don't know."

"Then you can tell me what it's about and I can tell you if you should tell me or not."

"It's about Jason."

"Oh. I think I can get Jason to talk about it then."

"Okay."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

"Very well. Could you send Yaoyorozu in please?"

"Yes." Midoriya said getting up and leaving the room.

Momo Yaoyorozu.

"Good afternoon, Yaoyorozu."

"Good afternoons Black San."

"Would you like to talk about yesterday?"

"Yesterday was bad, but I have come to terms with it."

"You have?"

"Yes. We were faced by Villains willing to torture and kill us, and we fought them off."

"You are very mature for your age."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Is there anything you want to talk about?"

"I..." Momo began but stopped.

"Yes?"

"I don't know if I have a crush on someone."

Jean smiled and glimpsed Momo's thoughts. They were filled with Jiro. "Might I suggest something?"

"Yes. Of course."

"Talk to your crush. See if they feel the same way."

"I don't think I could do that."

"Why not?"

"What if they don't return my feelings?"

'Ah. Classic high school drama.' Jean thought. "If I were to bring them in do you think you could talk to them?"

"I suppose, but what would I say?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I don't know. They caught my eye during our first class, and yesterday my feelings only became more prominent."

"Why can't you say that?"

"Because. What if they don't return my feelings, or think I'm weird for feeling that way, or what... what if they laugh?"

"If you tell the truth then I don't see why they would."

"Okay." Momo said shyly. "It's Jiro."

"I'll call her in." Jean said getting up and walking outside.

Jean walked outside and walked over to Jiro. "Could you please come with me?" she asked, keeping her face neutral.

"Um... Y-yes." Jiro said getting up and following Jean into the room glad that Mineta wasn't there.

When they got inside the room Jiro saw Momo sitting down.

"Jiro. Momo has something she would like to tell you."

"Really? Because I have something, I want to tell you too."

"You can go first." Momo said.

"No. You can..."

"Girls." Jean said, stopping the drama before it could start. "Why don't you say your thoughts together."

"Okay." Jiro agreed.

"I am okay with that." Momo said.

"On three then." Jean said.

"One..."

"Two..."

"Three."

"I like you!" The girls shouted in unison before looking at the other in shock.

"There." Jean said. "That wasn't so hard now, was it?"

"No." Momo said before Jiro hugged her.

Momo returned the hug slowly before wrapping her arms around Jiro.

"Is there something else?" Jean asked the girls.

"Will we have to keep this hidden?" Jiro asked.

Jean read their minds to see revulsion at Mineta. "No. Mineta will be taken care of, and I know that Mineta is afraid of Jason. Soooo..."

"Do you think that if we tell Jason that he will keep Mineta in check?"

"If his detention doesn't straighten him out then I am sure Jason can keep him in line."

"Thank you." Momo said. "He was uncomfortable to be around."

"I know." Was all Jean could say. "If that is all, could you send Anna in?"

"Yes." Momo said taking Jiro's hand and the two left the room.

Jean smiled. 'Young love.' She said to herself.

Anna Martin.

"Hello Anna." Jean said before her smile fell. "Anna. What's wrong?"

"I'm scared." Anna said.

"What's wrong?"

"I um... I have separation anxiety from my sister."

"Why is that?"

Anna went quiet.

Jean looked inside Anna's mind and saw memories of a man saying he loved her but only wanted the throne... 'Throne? Why a throne?'... She saw Elsa, an older Elsa, but still Elsa hit her with her Quirk freezing her heart, and the man tried killing both sisters. He locked Anna in a room hoping she would freeze to death. Anna escaped and threw herself in front of the man's blade as it was coming down to kill Elsa who was devastated because she thought she killed Anna. The blade broke against Anna's hand and sent the man flying back. When Anna woke up, she was hugging Elsa and the eternal winter surrounding the kingdom vanished. Three years later she lost Elsa when Elsa sacrificed herself to save their Kingdom, and three years after that she went to bed one night and woke up in the body of a one-year-old.

"Black San?" Anna asked after a few minutes of her being quiet.

"Yes?" Jean asked confused.

"You blacked out for a moment. Are you okay?"

"Um, yes."

"You saw something from my past, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"What did you see?"

"A man who tried to kill you and Elsa."

"Oh." Anna said rubbing her shoulders. "That was Hans."

"Hans?"

"Yes. I was really stupid and decided to try and marry the first guy I met after years of isolation. Needless to say, it did not go well."

Jean was shocked.

"Then my sister decided that she needed to sacrifice herself to keep our kingdom safe."

"That must have been difficult."

"It was."

"What about waking up as a one-year-old?"

"That was embarrassing."

"I can only imagine."

"My friends think they had it hard. They at least had proper bladder control!"

Jean suppressed a giggle at that and looked at Anna. Would you like the chance to vent at your friends?"

"Yes."

"Very well. Sit here, and I will get them." Jean said walking outside.

She came back with Elsa, Jason, Johnny, and Rogue.

"Anna. Was there something you wanted to say to your friends?"

"Yes." Anna took a breath. "You guys are total jerks!"

"What!" Elsa exclaimed. "How can you say that?"

"Because you guys think that you had it rough when we first got here, but you didn't! I had the toughest time here!"

"What do you mean?"

"You all were four years old, and had control over your bodies, but I was a twenty-one-year-old stuck in a one-year old's body. Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is when you don't have proper bladder control?"

"We're sorry Sugar." Rogue said. "We didn't realize how badly you were affected. Why didn't you say anything? You were able to speak coherent sentences at age three."

"Would you want to talk about something that embarrassing?"

"I guess not."

"Anna?" Jean asked. "Do you have anything else to say to your friends?"

"Can you guys try to be more considerate about others?"

"Of course." Elsa said hugging Anna.

"Now that that's taking care of." Jean said. "Why don't we talk about yesterday?"

"Okay."

"What happened yesterday?"

Jason and Johnny told the group about their time at the USJ.

"I wish that we were with you." Anna said hugging Elsa.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Jean asked.

"Someone with an illusion-based Quirk made me see Hans walking towards me saying that no one loved me."

Elsa, Jason, Johnny, and Rogue gripped their arm rests that much harder.

"It turns out that someone made Mineta look and sound like Hans."

"I'm going to break Mineta's legs." Elsa snarled.

Jason, Johnny, and Rogue looked at Elsa with something akin to horror. They had never seen their friend this angry before.

"I kicked him in the balls, and face." Anna said.

"All right!" Everyone yelled.

Anna blushed at the praise.

"Calm down." Jean said, trying to get them to calm down. "Elsa. Why don't you tell us what happened?"

Elsa shuddered. "Ojiro and I were sent into the Fire Zone. I was made helpless almost immediately due to the fire, and Ojiro had to try and defend me. Then someone came up and changed into Anna when she was frozen entirely and kept telling me that I had killed her. I kept apologizing, but she wouldn't let up, and I couldn't get away. I was so scared."

Anna hugged Elsa. "You know that I don't blame you for what happened, right?"

"Yeah, but it was so scary."

"I bet."

"Then Johnny killed the Villain by blowing her, I mean his, head off."

"Sorry." Johnny said rubbing the back of his head. "I didn't realize that you were seeing Anna. If I did, I wouldn't have killed the Villain that way."

"You shouldn't have killed the Villain in the first place." Jean scolded.

"You're wrong." Johnny said. "Do you know what the Villain was about to do to Elsa?"

"What?"

"When I drove into the Fire Zone, I saw the Villain picking up a pipe to hit Elsa. So, I'm sorry if I acted a little violently when MY FRIEND WAS ABOUT TO DIE!" Johnny said, turning into the Rider.

Jason put his arm in front of him. "Calm down!"

Johnny slowly changed back. "I'm sorry." Johnny said.

"I know, but you shouldn't resort to killing people if you can help it."

"I don't kill because I feel like it. I kill because I need to. More times than not I maim or seriously injure."

"Same." Jason lied.

"Don't lie to a Psychic Mr. Todd." Jean chastised.

Jean felt a stab of anger. "What's wrong Jason."

"Don't call me Todd." Jason said barely holding back his anger.

"Why?" Anna asked.

"Last night I found out that my father married my mother for the status of being married. He didn't love her at all. He was probably screwing his secretary and ran away with her to start a new family, and to make matters worse he impregnated another woman around the same time leaving my mother alone."

"That's messed up." Johnny said.

"So, what did you mean not to call you Todd. What should we call you?"

"For now, I'll be taking my mother's name unless she changes her name."

"Jason Haywood." Rogue tested the name. "I like it."

"My dad is a lying piece of shit!" Jason seethed. "I refuse to share his name."

"I can understand that." Jean said. "Finding out something like that would be pretty devastating."

"It was, and if I see him, I'm going to kill him with no mercy."

"Also, understandable. Is there something else you would like to discuss?"

"Bakugo is verbally abused at home." Rogue said. "At least. I'm not sure if there are other forms of abuse."

"What?"

"I can see memories with my Quirk, and I saw memories from last night. He acts out because his mom verbally abuses him."

"I see. I might have a talk with Bakugo."

"He might act out." Jason said.

"I know about Bakugo's temper. If that is all."

The group nodded.

"I'll be out to get Bakugo shortly."

"Okay." Rogue said.

After the group left Jean wrote down a few notes before walking out.

"Bakugo." She spoke.

"I don't want to talk!" He yelled.

"Be that as it may I need to talk to you."

"Fine!" Bakugo said getting up.

Katsuki Bakugo.

Bakugo slumped down in the chair in the room.

"Thank you, Bakugo."

"Whatever."

"Is there something you want to talk about?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I am!"

"I would appreciate it if you didn't use that tone with me."

"There isn't anything I want to talk about."

"Do you want to talk about your home life?"

"NO!" Bakugo snapped.

Jean saw Bakugo's mom yelling at him, slapping him, punching him. Bakugo was a handful, and he had a big ego because the teachers at his other schools wouldn't discipline him for using his Quirk against other students, but that didn't mean she had to punch, hit, and belittle him.

"If you are being hurt at home you can tell someone."

"Drop it!"

"Only if you promise to talk to someone if it gets to be too much."

'Maybe I'm paying for my mistake.' Bakugo thought.

"Are you sure that you don't want to talk about anything?" Jean urged.

"YES!"

"If you are hurting then you need to..."

Bakugo created an explosion. "I don't need to talk about..."

"BAKUGO!" Jean yelled.

Bakugo went quiet.

"Now." Jean said pushing her hair back. "Would you like to talk about this now or later?"

"Later." Bakugo said.

"Okay, but we WILL be talking about this."

"Fine."

"You are free to go then."

Bakugo got up and left.

Jean left the room. "You can go back to homeroom." She spoke.

The kids grabbed their stuff and headed to homeroom.

When they got back to homeroom Aizawa was sleeping in his yellow sleeping bag.

The kids sat down in their desks.

Aizawa got up and stood at the podium. "We have a few announcements before you go home."

"First off. UA will be closed for the rest of the week while we try and solve the USJ incident."

"Nice!" Kirishima said jumping up.

"All right!" Denki yelled.

"No school!" Mina shouted.

"Wait!" Iida said. "No School? That sounds horrifying!"

"Hey!" Aizawa said. "I'm not finished yet."

The second announcement is that Mineta will be taking a course on sexual harassment for the month after you get back..."

"YES!" All the girls yelled.

"You are excused for the night." Aizawa said before picking up his sleeping bag.

Everyone grabbed their bags and walked outside.

Jason, Johnny, and Rogue made sure to walk Anna, Elsa, and Midoriya home before they escorted Rogue home. Jason made sure that Johnny got home safely and made his way home.

Jason was walking home when he was attacked.

Elsewhere

A man sat cloaked in the shadows of his office when he got a call.

"This is Todd!" He growled into his phone.

"I don't care how you take care of him! Just kill him!"

"I don't care if you kill her! I want him dead!"

"Fine! Up the bounty to one million dollars for him and half a million for his mother!"

"Of course, I'm sure! I want Jason Todd dead!"

Thursday night

Jason was walking home after making sure his friends got home safely. He felt the cool night air rolling around him and was enjoying the solitude when his danger sense went off and he rolled to the side.

A girl flew past him slashing at him with a knife.

Jason created a knife in each hand. "I don't know who you are, but you made a mistake attacking me by yourself."

"Blood!" The girl yelled. "I need blood!"

"Why?" Jason asked before taking a good look at her, he couldn't fuck up again like he did with Bakugo. If this girl needed his help, it was up to him to help her. She was dirty and wore an outfit that was dirty and scuffed in places with some cuts on it. Her hair was dirty and looked like it hadn't been washed in a while.

"Hey." He asked. "Are you okay?"

"I need blood!" She yelled.

"Okay, okay. How much blood do you need?"

"I need blood!" She yelled again.

Jason took a good look at her and felt pain in his stomach like he hadn't eaten in a while. He felt pain in his limbs that he hadn't felt since the alternate reality.

This girl was starving, but not like normal starvation. It was almost like se was being denied something that she needed. Was it the blood? Did she need blood to survive?

"Okay. If I give you some blood and food, will you calm down?"

"Blood!" She yelled, salivating.

Jason made his knives disappear and led the girl back to his apartment. Once there he kicked his shoes off at the door and walked into his room. He walked to his closet and opened a panel in the back of his closet and opened a mini fridge. Taking out a blood bag he tossed it to the girl who began drinking the blood greedily.

He watched her drain his blood like it was the first thing she'd had to eat or drink in a while. Taking out three more blood bags he handed them to her before looking up to see a large box with a Red Cross on the side. Above the first aid box was another box. He replaced the panel and put his closet back to its proper state before turning around.

The girl was on her third blood bag and looked up at him. "Fanks." She said around the bag.

"You're welcome. Want to tell me what happened?"

"You aren't wondering why I'm drinking blood like you would drink a six pack?" She asked reaching for the fourth blood bag.

"I'm pretty sure it has something to do with your Quirk."

The girl dropped the blood bag in shock.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

"No. You're the first person who guessed that. Everyone else thinks I'm a monster."

"Have people hurt you because of it?"

The girl got quiet.

"Where are your parents?" he asked tentatively.

The girl's eyes went dark.

"Did they hurt you?"

The girl closed in on herself.

"If you don't want to talk about it tell me, but I want to help you."

"No one wants to help me." She said in a pained tone.

Jason got up and walked to his dresser and pulled out a pair of Pajamas before walking to the cupboard in the hall and grabbed a towel. "Here." He said, handing her the clothes and the towel. "The bathroom is right there." He pointed at the bathroom. "I'll get you something to eat. My mom is probably still at the hospital, so we have a bit of time before she gets home."

The girl put her knife to Jason's throat. "What are you trying to pull?"

"What do you mean?" He asked, not intimidated by her, more than likely, self defense tactic.

"Your mom isn't home. You're trying to get me to shower. You're making me food. Are you trying to drug me so you can..."

Jason grabbed the girls arm and pulled her hand away from his throat before flipping her over his shoulder and slammed her into the floor. "I wouldn't need to drug you!" He snapped at her.

She jumped up and stabbed at him.

He let the knife hit him but activated his armor, melting the metal.

The girl looked at her blade. "What did you do to my knife!" she demanded.

"I melted it."

"Why?"

"You tried stabbing me."

"But you melted my knife!"

"Here." Jason said taking the hilt and creating a knife blade. He stuck the blade to the hilt, melting it in place.

He walked to the bathroom and ran the blade under the water cooling it off.

"What did you do?" The girl asked.

"I made you a new knife."

The girl hugged him. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She Squealed as if no one had ever given her anything or replaced anything of hers before.

"Um... You're welcome?" He said rubbing the back of his neck.

The girl grabbed the clothes and the towel Jason had given her and walked into the bathroom.

Jason walked into the kitchen and took out a steak, a package of mixed vegetables, a curry pack, and some rice.

The girl came out wearing her underwear. "I need help." She said hopefully.

Jason looked away. "What do you need help with?" He asked.

"My hair." She pouted, turning around.

Jason looked at her and saw that her hair was knotted up.

"Let me go grab my mom's conditioner. I think that untangles hair." Jason said, going into his mom's bathroom and came back with a comb, a brush, shampoo, and conditioner.

The girl grabbed his hand and pulled him into the bathroom with her.

'What the Hell! what the hell! what the hell!' He thought. 'I'm in a bathroom with a girl! Damn it! What am I going to do!'

She stood under the water and soaked her hair.

Jason put the conditioner in the girl's hair and began working it through her hair while looking anywhere but at her. When he'd worked the conditioner into her hair, he pushed her head under the shower head and rinsed it before combing through it, when he came to a knot in her hair, he pulled it out slowly, making sure that he didn't hurt her. He left as soon as he finished so she could take the rest of her shower.

The girl laughed at Jason's obvious discomfort. It was the first time she'd laughed in a long time. It felt good.

Jason went back to the kitchen and started cooking the rice and steak. Once the steak was done, he cubed it and mixed in the vegetables and stirred them together before adding the curry pack.

The girl came out wearing the Pajamas that Jason had given her and sat at the table. "Thank you." She spoke.

"You're welcome. Are you hungry? I have a raw steak if you want it." Jason offered.

"Do you think I only survive on blood?" The girl asked almost offended.

"I don't know. Do you?"

"NO!"

"Okay, okay. I'm making Curry. Do you want some of that?"

"I've never had curry before."

"What happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"I know when someone has had a bad life..."

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT A BAD LIFE!" She snapped as if someone had flipped a switch

"I know more than you think. At the age of six I was abandoned to the streets. I lived on the streets for three years until I was found by a man who took me to a reform school where I was beaten for not stealing, fighting, or lying. I ran away after three years and found someone who helped me."

"Who was it?"

"The same man who put me there in the first place."

"What did you do?"

"He took me in and trained me."

"Then how did you get here?"

"Do you believe in reincarnation?"

"No."

"Well. That's what happened. I worked with the man for three years before I was brutally beaten to near death and blown up. I was reincarnated into this world."

"BULLSHIT!" The girl yelled. "You can't pass a dream off as real-life experience!"

"I didn't. You can't taste food or feel pain in a dream. Yet I know what rotten food tastes like, and I have a heightened pain tolerance from being beaten to near death."

"PROVE IT!"

Jason created a crowbar and handed it to the girl. "Hit me with it as hard as you can with that."

The girl looked at the crowbar.

Jason cooled the crowbar off and handed it to her.

She took the crowbar and thought about Jason making fun of her. She hit him and didn't stop... when she finally did stop, she looked at Jason on the floor. He was panting heavily, but other than that he didn't seem phased at all.

She looked at the crowbar and dropped it. "Why didn't you defend yourself?"

"I had to prove that I wasn't lying."

"And letting me beat you senseless was the way to prove that?"

"It was a way."

The girl dropped into her seat.

The crowbar disappeared, and Jason got to his feet shakily. "I'm not lying to you. I know what you've gone through."

"No, you don't. You haven't been locked up except for going to the Quirk suppressors. My Parents kept me locked away until I nearly died. I ran away hoping to find some blood."

"But I thought you said that you don't survive solely on blood."

"I don't, but I still need it to keep my blood levels up. Blood is how I stay alive... and, it's how my Quirk works."

"That's cool. I have a friend who will want to talk to you about that."

The girl had stopped listening after Jason said her Quirk was cool. No one had ever told her that her Quirk was cool.

"Hey." Jason said. "I forgot to ask. What's your name?"

"Oh. My name is Himiko Toga."

"Hey Toga. Will you tell me where your parents live?"

"Why?"

"I'm going to make sure they never hurt anyone ever again." Jason growled.

Toga couldn't believe what she was hearing. Jason was saying that he was going to kill her parents.

Jason cleaned the blood up and went to wash up, leaving Himiko to her own thoughts.

The door opened and Sheila walked in. "Hey Jason." She called out tiredly. "Sorry I'm late. We had several people come in and I needed to stay late." She put her purse on the table and saw Himiko. "Um..." She spoke. "Did I walk into the wrong apartment again?"

"I don't think so." Himiko said.

"Then what..."

"Hey mom." Jason said, walking into the kitchen.

"JASON!" Sheila yelled when she saw him. "What happened?"

"I saw these guys attacking Himiko and stepped in." He lied. "They got in a few good hits, but I chased them away."

Sheila ran over to Jason and looked him over. "Is anything broken?"

"I don't think so." He said, rubbing a few spots on his body to sell the lie.

"Come on." Sheila said. "We are going back to the hospital. Come on Himiko."

"What about dinner?" Jason asked.

"Don't worry about dinner."

Sheila led Jason and Himiko to the subway and to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital Himiko began feeling on edge.

"What's wrong Himiko?" Jason asked.

Himiko stayed quiet.

Jason handed Himiko his phone and created a new one.

J: What's wrong?

H: I don't like hospitals and I don't trust doctors.

J: Do you trust me?

H: For whatever reason I feel like I can trust you, and I don't know how I feel about that.

J: Why can you trust me?

H: You were the first person that was nice to me.

J: Let's talk about that later.

H: Fine, but you were the first person that was nice to me.

J: I will want a list of the people who hurt you.

H: Okay.

J: You aren't going to ask why?

H: No. I want to help. ;)

J: Fine.

They were interrupted when they were called back.

Jason laid flat on his back as the doctors took X-Rays of his entire body.

"What are they doing to him?" Himiko asked.

"They are taking X-Rays to make sure his bones aren't broken. After this we will take him to get an MRI and CAT Scan to make sure everything else is okay. We will also do the same for you."

"Why-why me?"

"Because." Sheila replied. "Jason said that you were attacked by some bad people. I want to make sure you weren't hurt."

"I wasn't!" Himiko yelled.

"Himiko." Sheila said dropping to one knee so she could look her in the eyes. "I'm a doctor, so I know a child suffering from abuse. Will you tell me what happened?"

Himiko backed away. "I don't trust doctors." She hissed.

Sheila felt anger bubble up inside her. Someone had taken this girl to doctors who hurt her, and now she didn't trust people she was supposed to. "Do you trust Jason?" She asked.

"Yes."

"Do you think that Jason would trust someone who would hurt another person?"

"I don't know."

"I won't hurt you Himiko."

Himiko looked at Sheila. She had learned not to trust adults. Adults had taken advantage of her Naïveté and hurt her. Adults were not meant to be trusted.

Sheila broke Himiko out of her thoughts by handing her a hospital gown. "You're turn."

"For what?" Himiko growled.

"Your X-Ray."

"I don't think so."

"You need to get an X-Ray so we can see if anything is wrong."

"There's nothing wrong with me!"

"I'm not saying there is, but we need to make sure you are okay."

Himiko drew her knife and pointed it at Sheila. "I told you. I'm fine!"

"Himiko." Jason said. "What are you doing?"

"She told me to wear that." Himiko pointed at Sheila holding the hospital gown.

"Himiko. Do you trust me?"

"You are the only one who has been nice to me in my entire life..."

Jason felt a spike of malicious intent coming from his mom.

"... So, with that in mind you are the only one I can really trust."

Jason handed the hospital gown to Himiko. "Then will you change into this?"

Himiko took the hospital gown from Jason and stripped down in the hallway before putting it on.

Jason spun around and covered his eyes.

Sheila rolled her eyes and covered them. This wasn't the first time a child was lashing out by stripping in front of the doctors, though it was the first time a teenager had done it in a while and wasn't trying to get a doctor's attention.

When Himiko was in the hospital gown she huffed.

"Thank you." Sheila said.

"I didn't do it for you." Himiko glared at her.

Sheila walked Himiko into the X-Ray room and helped her onto the table.

Jason walked in and held Himiko's hand. "Don't worry. I'm right here. Do you want to give me your knife to hold onto?"

Himiko's grip tightened on her knife.

"They can't take X-Rays if you have metal on you."

Himiko begrudgingly gave Jason her knife.

The X-Ray technician began taking X-Rays of Himiko.

When they were done Jason gave Himiko her Knife back.

Sheila looked over the X-Rays. "Well, the good news is that neither of you have any broken bones."

"The bad news?" Jason asked.

"There are two more tests to run."

"Let's get them over with." Jason yawned.

The trio made their way to the MRI room.

"Good evening Dr. Haywood." The Technician said.

"Hey Haruto." Sheila sighed.

"Rough night?"

"Yeah. Jason was walking home and found Himiko being attacked."

"Oh. I'm sorry Himiko. Are you okay?"

Himiko hid behind Jason.

"Himiko doesn't trust doctors." Jason explained.

"Did a doctor hurt you Himiko?"

Himiko stayed behind Jason.

Jason felt a flicker of anger come from Haruto.

"Come with me Jason." Haruto said.

Jason was led to the MRI machine and laid down on the table before Haruto sent him into the machine.

"I need you to lay very still Jason, do you think you can do that for me?"

"Yeah." Jason said.

"Also, close your eyes"

Jason closed his eyes, and relaxed.

"So." Jason's Quirk said. "How does it feel to have control of your Quirk?"

"It felt good not having to worry about losing my humanity. Though I do have a question."

"Shoot."

"How will I explain not losing my humanity."

"Didn't you already tell them that you gained control of your Quirk?"

"Sort of, but..."

"Jason." Haruto said. "Jason. Wake up."

Jason blinked awake. "What happened?"

"You fell asleep."

"Oh. Sorry I guess."

Jason got up and walked to his mom and Himiko.

"Are you all right Jason?" Sheila and Himiko asked in unison.

"Yeah. I'm just tired, that's all."

"Okay." Sheila said. "Himiko, it's your turn."

Himiko glared at Sheila. "I'm not going in there."

"Himiko..." Sheila tried.

"Wait." Jason said. "Himiko. If I am in the room with you, will you take the tests?"

"I suppose." Himiko said.

"Let's go." Jason said walking into the room with Himiko.

Himiko laid down on the table and was sent into the machine.

"Please relax young Himiko." Haruto said.

"I'm right here Toga." Jason said, putting his hand on her ankle. "I'm right here."

Himiko seemed to calm down after that.

Haruto finished the MRI scan, and they made their way to the CAT scan lab.

Once there Jason laid on the machine first and relaxed.

"Where were we?" Jason's Quirk asked.

"I don't remember."

"I asked you if you told your friends about gaining control of your Quirk."

"I told them that I control my Quirk by controlling my emotions."

"That is one way of looking at it."

"Then what is the..."

Haruto shook Jason awake.

"What happened?" He asked.

"You fell asleep again."

"Sorry."

"Just make sure you get plenty of sleep tonight."

"Will do."

Himiko walked into the room and took Jason's hand.

Jason held her hand while she laid on the table, and the CAT scan began.

When it was done Himiko jumped off the table.

"Let's go." Sheila said. "It will take a few days before they get the results, unless Haruto marks them as urgent, but I'm not sure why he would need to."

"What about me?" Jason asked gesturing at himself.

"Normally I would heal you, but if I don't know what's wrong, I could hurt you."

"We can email you the results when we get them Doctor Haywood." Haruto said.

"Thank you, Haruto."

"You're welcome, Doctor Haywood."

The trio made their way back to the subway.

When they got to their stop they began walking home.

They were two blocks from their apartment when three teenage kids came out of the shadows.

"Oh hell no." Jason said creating twin pistols and pointing at two of the teenagers. He had become hypervigilant due to the USJ, Himiko, and lack of sleep.

Himiko did four cartwheels before Somersaulting over the third and poked her knife into his ribs. A wicked smile came across her face. "Give me a reason not to kill you." She giggled showing her fangs.

"Jason! Himiko!" Sheila yelled.

The teenagers looked shocked. "Hey!" The second one Jason was aiming at said. "We weren't going to do anything."

"Right." Jason scoffed. "Three of you out late at night, wearing dark clothes. Not to mention the lust and malicious intent rolling off you."

"You've got it all wrong. We weren't trying..." The teen Himiko was holding said.

"Don't lie." Himiko said giddily. "I trust Jason. So, if he says someone is trying to hurt us, I believe him"

"Fair enough." The first teen said turning his arms into tentacles.

Jason shot him in the shoulder.

The teen fell to the floor in agony as his nerve endings caught fire.

The second teen turned his hands into knives, but Jason shot him in the foot.

Himiko licked the third teens neck before breaking the skin and tasting his blood. "Ugh." She complained. "Your blood is bitter, unlike Jason's."

The third teen bashed his head into Himiko's. "Get off me bitch!" He yelled before wrapping his hand around Himiko's wrist and paralyzing her before pulling her in front of him to act like a human shield. "You're not going to risk hurting her."

"No." Jason said. "I wouldn't, but that was your first mistake, and it's going to be your last."

"What are you talking about?"

Jason let his eye's flash black and red. "You hurt someone I care about. That was your first and last mistake."

The teen looked at Jason in horror.

"You have three seconds to let her go before I introduce you to the sidewalk and trust me when I say that your relationship will be intimate."

The teen let Himiko go and ran away.

Jason shot the teen in the calf.

Jason's eyes went back to their normal color, and he ran over to Himiko.

Sheila walked up to them and waved her hand over Himiko.

Himiko's muscles relaxed, and she lunged at Jason.

Jason held Himiko. "Himiko. Himiko. It's me. It's Jason."

Himiko struggled a little longer before calming down. "Jason?"

"Yeah. It's me."

Himiko stood up and looked around. "Where is that guy who paralyzed me!" she demanded.

"He ran away. I shot him."

Himiko crossed her arms over her chest. "I wanted to kill him."

"Let me heal them and we can go home." Sheila said.

Jason nodded, but Himiko glared at the teens. "You should leave them like that." She growled.

"I'm a Doctor, Himiko. It's my responsibility to heal them."

Himiko crossed her arms over her chest and waited for Sheila to finish healing them.

They walked to the third teen and Sheila healed him while Jason held Himiko back.

When Sheila finished, they walked home.

They walked through the doorway of the apartment, and Sheila looked at the clock. "2:00 A.M." She groaned.

"Go to sleep mom." Jason said. "I'll get Himiko taken care of."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. She can have my room, and I'll sleep on the couch."

"Okay. Good night, Jason."

"Night mom."

Sheila went to her room, leaving Jason and Himiko to their own devices.

Jason walked Himiko back to his room and gave her three more blood packs. "I'm going to need to get more blood packs soon."

Himiko was sipping the blood pack. "Your blood is really good. It's got the right mix of sweet and tart."

"Not many people like the taste of blood you know."

"They don't know what they are missing. Blood is so good, and some blood is so good that it makes me..."

"Please don't finish that sentence." Jason yawned causing Himiko to yawn as well.

"Ohh." Himiko grumbled, after yawning. "You're no fun."

"Are you going to be okay?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. In the morning I'll give you some more blood."

"Thanks Jason." She squealed and hugged him.

Jason hugged her back and left his room. Going to the kitchen he cleaned up before going to the front room and laying down on the couch.

"There was a point I was trying to make." Jason's Quirk said.

"Oh. And what is it?"

"I was going to tell you my name."

"Really? All that talking just to learn your name?"

"I could rescind that offer."

"No, no. Just curious is all.

"I understand your curiosity. My name is Efreeti."

"Efreeti?"

"Yes. I am a Demon who can create weapons out of fire."

"How do you explain everything else I can create?"

"I give you the power to create. Whatever you choose to create will be created. Now, sleep."

Jason went to say something, but he fell into unconsciousness.

Friday.

Himiko woke up feeling hungry, she hadn't eaten anything since last night. getting up she went to the kitchen. She was looking through the fridge when the light flicked on, causing her to draw her knife.

"Himiko?" Jason mumbled wiping his face. "What's wrong?"

"I got hungry." She spoke.

"Oh. Do you want me to make you something?"

"Sure."

"What do you want?

"I'll have whatever you're having."

Jason took the bacon, eggs, and bread out of the fridge. He fried the bacon in a pan and saved the grease when he was done. wiping the grease out the pan he began frying eggs. He put coffee on and began buttering the bread.

Sheila woke to the smell of bacon and coffee. She looked at her alarm clock and saw that it was 5:30. 'How can Jason be up this early?' She asked herself.

Getting up she went to the kitchen where she saw Himiko sitting at the table, and Jason fixing breakfast. "Jason?" She asked. "How much sleep did you get?"

"I got to sleep shortly after 3:00."

"How are you functioning on two and a half hours of sleep?"

"You're one to talk."

"I'm a doctor, what's your excuse?"

Jason picked up a cup of coffee. "Caffeine." He said downing the cup.

"I see. Hopefully, you don't do this on a regular basis."

"Only when I can't sleep." Jason said.

"Good. I'd hate it if you were leading a second life or lying to me."

"Yeah. Good thing I'm not doing either." Jason lied.

Sheila looked at Jason. "Just don't get hurt."

"I won't."

"Thank you. Now, let's eat."

They sat down to eat.

After breakfast Sheila took care of the dishes and told Jason to get ready for the day.

Jason grabbed a new outfit and went to the bathroom to shower and get ready for the day.

"So." Sheila said to Himiko. "Want to tell me your story?"

"No." Himiko said bitterly.

"Did you tell Jason?"

"No. He figured most of it out by himself."

"That's my Jason. He has a way of reading people."

"I only had to correct him a few times."

"So, do you still not trust me?"

"I've only known you for a day."

"You've known Jason for only a day."

"Jason gave me a reason to trust him."

"What did he do to gain your trust so quickly?"

"He brought me here, and gave me food, and a place to stay when no one else would."

Sheila felt anger bubble up inside her stomach again. "What did your parents do to you?"

"They locked me in my room. Fed me table scraps! Made me visit a Quirk suppressor! AND NEARLY KILLED ME BY DENYING ME THE ONE THING THAT I NEED TO SURVIVE!

With each statement Himiko made, it made Sheila more and more angry.

"I take it that's what you meant by Jason's blood, last night?"

"What if it is?"

Jason was in the shower when he felt a stab of anger. He rinsed and dried off before getting dressed and rushing out.

"Mom? Himiko? What's wrong?"

"We were just talking." Sheila said.

"I felt anger."

"That was me." Himiko said. "Your mom wanted to know what my parents did to me. So, I told her."

"Oh."

"Yeah. Oh." Himiko said.

"Himiko. Why don't you go take a shower?" Sheila suggested.

"Fine." Himiko said walking to the bathroom.

"Jason." Sheila said. "We need to talk."

"About what?"

"How are you giving Himiko blood? You don't have any puncture wounds. So that means you have blood packs that you're giving her. Where are they?"

"I did give Himiko blood packs. They are hidden."

"Why?"

"She needs blood to survive."

"That's not what I meant. Why do you have blood packs in the first place?"

"In case I, or someone else, needs a blood transfusion."

"How are you drawing the blood? Where are you getting the equipment? When did you start doing this? What else are you hiding from me?"

"Whenever I would go to the hospital with you, I would take some of the equipment for drawing blood, I have been storing blood in a specialized container that keeps it cold, I started doing this after the incident with Anna, and you don't want to know what else I've been hiding from you."

"I am your mother! I have a right to know!"

"What I've been doing, is making sure that my friends and family are safe."

"Jason. Tell me what you are doing?"

"I have been making plans to keep you safe."

"That didn't answer my question."

"FINE!" Jason yelled, pulling out his phone. He unlocked it and opened a hidden app before showing her. "This is what I'm working on."

Sheila scrolled through the app. She was both shocked and impressed with Jason. There were at least seven different armor sets, weapons, gadgets, vehicles, chemical equations, and bios on people. "Jason? what is this?"

"Since I found out how dangerous my Quirk is, I have been designing Armor, Weapons, Vehicles, Gadgets, etc. So, I don't need to rely on my Quirk. Since I started attending UA, I have started keeping files on the teachers and my classmates, and after the USJ incident I'm going to start looking for which of them might be a traitor."

"I can understand the armor and stuff, but what are these formulas? You're a smart kid, but these chemicals are highly advanced. What even are they? What is this... Venom?"

"That's a hypothetical compound. I tried thinking of a way to give a temporary strength boost, but I can't think of how to make it with negative consequences."

"Is it a drug?"

"I'm trying to find a way to make it without the use of drugs."

"You aren't going to use it... are you?"

"Not until I figure out how to make it safe."

Himiko came into the kitchen. "Make what safe?"

"A support item."

"Okay."

Sheila looked at Himiko who was still wearing Jason's Pajama's. "Himiko. Do you have clothes?"

Jason went to his room and came back with a blood pack and Himiko's outfit from the day before. "This is what she was wearing when I found her."

"We need to take you shopping."

"Only if Jason comes. No offense, but I still don't trust you."

"Fine. I'm going to get ready, check my emails, and then we will go."

"Okay." Jason said.

Sheila went to get ready.

Jason looked at Himiko. "Where do your parents live?" He whispered.

Himiko looked at Jason. "I wanted to help you."

"I don't know if I can get back in time. If I can't I need you to stall.

"Fine." Himiko said giving in.

Sheila was in the shower thinking about what Jason had told her. What kind of a mother was she for letting Jason do the things he was doing? Stealing medical supplies, designing armor, weapons, vehicles, gadgets, strength enhancing drugs. Keeping files on his teachers, and classmates. Lying to her. Did she go wrong somewhere?

She stayed in the shower until the water went cold before getting out. Drying off, she dressed, and sat down at her desk. Scrolling through her emails looking for an email from Haruto. She found one and opened it.

Dr. Haywood,

I got the results back from Jason's and Himiko's MRI's and CAT scans. The results on Himiko's suggest that she is missing nutrients in her bones and muscles. We can run tests to see what nutrients she is missing and get her the nutrient packs she needs to get to where she seems to have some muscle damage, but that could be linked to the MMA Dojo you've mentioned he attends. All in all, I am sending you the scans in case you want to look at them yourself.

Sincerely,

Satoshi, Haruto.

Sheila looked through the scans and was pleased that Jason wasn't too badly hurt. She was worried with Himiko's scan though. If what Himiko said was true, then she was suffering from malnutrition. She finished getting ready and walked to the front room where Jason and Himiko were sitting.

"Ready to go?" Jason asked.

"I just have one thing to do before we leave." She said before waving her hand over Jason.

Jason felt rejuvenated and replenished as his body was healed from the day before. "Thanks mom."

"Don't thank me yet. You're going to have to repay the hospital for taking the Phlebotomy equipment, and you are grounded."

"What! Why?"

"You stole hospital equipment..."

"I took the old equipment they were going to throw away!"

"What?"

"When I took the stuff, it was because they were going to throw it away. I took it and repaired it as best as I could. Even the refrigeration unit."

"Where did you get the needles and blood bags?"

"I took the damaged ones and had them repaired."

"Do you know how unsanitary that is?"

"I had them cleaned too. I took them to a guy I know who repairs and cleans things with his Quirk if you bring him food. Depending on what it is depends on what kind of food he wants."

"And what did he want for repairing and cleaning the medical supplies?"

"The Phlebotomy equipment cost a sushi roll and a green tea. The refrigeration unit cost a large bowl of extra hot curry. The needles and blood bags cost a bowl of Katsudon."

Sheila wiped her face. "Are you sure that you did nothing illegal?

"The only illegal thing I did was take stuff that was damaged and hide the fact that I have been making my blood packs."

"How did I not notice the puncture marks?"

"I would only make blood packs when you were at the hospital on Friday nights and covered it up by wearing long sleeved shirts, and you'd heal it after MMA practice."

"I don't suppose telling you to stop would stop you."

"You can tell me to stop, but it wouldn't stop me. You would have to watch my every waking moment."

Sheila rubbed her face again. "Damn it Jason."

"Mom. As much as I know this must be hurting you, I am not doing this out of self-destructive or selfish reasons. I'm doing this as a worst-case scenario. It's not like I'm doing drugs, drinking alcohol, or sneaking girls in to my room for sex. Hell, because of this I might have kept Himiko from becoming a serial killer."

Sheila looked at Jason and sighed. "But you've been lying to me."

Jason looked at his mom. He knew she was hurt, and he didn't like hurting her, but she didn't know about his past. This was all stuff that he did in the other universe, but he had help from Bruce. He also hated the fact that he lied to her about other things.

Jason ran to the address Himiko told him.

He ran up to the door and knocked on the door.

A man answered the door. "Are you Toga-San?"

"Yeah. What want?"

Jason kicked Toga-San in the knee. "What is your problem!"

"Shit!" Toga's dad yelled. "What's your problem!"

"You're my problem!" Jason yelled walking in and closing the door. "What the hell were you thinking doing that to Himiko!"

"Why do you care about that freak of nature?!"

Jason curb stomped Himiko's dad's kneecap.

"AAAHHHH!" He yelled as his knee broke.

"She is your daughter! You are supposed to protect her! Instead, you locked her in her room! Starved her! Neglected her! You disgust me!"

"Atsushi?!" A woman asked coming into the room. "What's wrong!?"

"Aimi!" Atsushi groaned through the pain. "Run!"

Jason looked at Aimi. "Did you willfully neglect your daughter!"

"That monster wasn't my daughter!" Aimi spat.

"Why didn't you just take her to an orphanage, as much as that thought disgusts me, it would be better than enduring your torture."

"Why would I curse someone with that monster!"

"If you don't want her, then sign her over to Sheila Haywood!"

"What! Are you saying that she would take that, that thing!"

"STOP CALLING HER THAT! IF YOU WEREN'T SO AFRAID OF HER THEN YOU COULD SEE HER AS YOUR DAUGHTER AND NOT A MONSTER!"

Aimi took out a packet from a drawer. "If we sign this, will you leave us alone?"

"Yes, but you might want to leave. I might be back."

"Fine." Aimi and Atsushi Signed in triplicate custody of Himiko Toga over go Sheila Haywood.

Aimi Gave Jason the three envelopes. one for him and two copies to put in the mail to the Family Court, and Child Welfare Services.

"I'll be back." He said taking the copies.

He ran to the Mailbox and mailed the copies to the Family Court and Child Welfare Services.

He ran back to his apartment and climbed the wall into his room, put on some deodorant, and ran to the front room where Himiko was sitting.

They waited two minutes before Sheila came out.

He'd made it back home and his mom was still in her room. He told Himiko what had happened, and they sat waiting for Sheila.

"I know mom." He spoke. "I'm sorry."

Sheila looked at Jason. "You're still grounded. You will go to school and come straight home afterwards. No going to Dagoba Beach before or after school. No going over to friends' houses. No texting, calling, or whatever else friends."

"For how long?!"

"Until I think you have learned your lesson."

Jason felt a surge of negative emotions rush through him. "Fine." he said darkly.

"Let's go." Sheila said before looking at Himiko. She was wearing the outfit from yesterday. "Are you sure that's the only outfit you have?"

"No." Himiko said. "But my other outfit is at home with my crazy parents."

"Wait. Outfit? As in singular?"

"Yeah.

Sheila felt a rush of anger overcome her. "Let's go. We will get you seven outfits, socks, underwear, bras, shoes, pajamas, some hygiene products, and whatever else I'm forgetting."

They left the apartment and walked to the Subway.

Jason couldn't help but feel a twinge of hatred towards his mom for not understanding.

They were walking to the station when Jason felt fear and rage in an alleyway. He stopped and looked down the alleyway.

"Jason." Sheila said. "Are you thinking about running down that alley?"

"No. I feel fear and rage coming from down there."

"What?" she asked, walking towards him.

Jason looked down the alley and saw a girl running towards him.

The girl had been here for as long as she could remember. However, she was only five so this was all she had ever known.

The bad men hurt her. All the time. If they weren't hurting her by breaking her, they were stepping in her feet, squeezing her arms and hands and arms, grabbing her neck or hair.

She didn't know what she could do, but she needed to get away. She waited for the right time to run. She had to get away. She wanted to get away from the pain. She had to get away from the pain. She waited for the right moment and ran. She didn't know how long or far she ran; she just knew she had to get away.

"ERI!" The bad man yelled after her.

Eri became Terrified and ran. She saw a dark alleyway and ran down it. She had to get away, she had to get help.

"ERI!" The bad man yelled again.

Eri felt the concrete and rocks tearing at her feet, but she couldn't stop. She ran faster pushing her body farther than she knew was possible.

She broke out into the sunlight again only to run into something hard.

Whatever she ran into grabbed her, but not as hard as the other people. It was to keep her from falling rather than to hurt her.

She looked up into the blue eyes and her exhaustion overcame her.

"What happened?" Sheila asked. "Oh, my goodness." she said, walking up to the girl that Jason was holding. She looked her over and saw scars. She felt the girl's pulse and felt that it was erratic, and she looked malnourished, and abused. "Who did this to her?"

A hand burst from the alleyway and touched Sheila.

Sheila felt a burst of pain and looked at Jason before she exploded.

Time slowed down as a hand erupted from the darkness of the alleyway and touched Sheila.

Jason watched as his mom looked at him, and her face changed from worried to pained, and finally she exploded.

Time sped back up, and Jason felt agony. "MOM!" He yelled.

"Give me the girl!" The man yelled.

Jason handed the girl to Himiko. before taking out his phone. He called Aizawa Sensei and turned on his location before handing it to Himiko too. "Take this and run." He spoke.

"What are you going to do?" Himiko asked worried.

"Make him pay!" Jason snarled, suiting up.

The man reached down and touched the blood smear that was Sheila, and she reformed. "I'll keep killing her until you give me the..."

Jason lunged at the man and kicked him away. "MOM, RUN!" He yelled pushing the man into the alleyway. "YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!"

"Spare me your petty threats." The man said touching Jason's shoulder.

The man's hand erupted in pain.

Jason's armor shattered, but reformed.

The man looked at his hand and saw the melted skin. "How dare you touch me!" He yelled in disgust.

"Shove it up your ass!" Jason yelled throwing a punch at the man.

The man lunged at Jason and touched him again only to be burnt again. "AHH! He yelled.

"I'm going to kill you now.

The man ran back down the alleyway and touched the walls as he ran destroying them and cutting off Jason's path to follow him.

Jason looked at the destruction caused by the man before walking back out the alley.

The last thing Sheila remembered before blacking out was terrible pain.

The next thing she knew she was awake and in pain, but she heard Jason yell for her to run.

Sheila was too disoriented to run. She didn't even think that she could crawl away. So, she just sat there trying to recover and remember what happened.

Aizawa Sensei

Aizawa was sitting at his desk in the teachers' lounge when his phone rang. The Caller I.D. was blank, but Aizawa answered it. "Who is this?"

He heard someone breathing heavily and running. "Got to keep her safe." The voice on the other end said. "Jason wants me to keep her safe."

"Hello." Aizawa said again. "Who is this? Are you in trouble?"

"I can't believe he did that to Jason's mom. What's going to happen now?"

Aizawa's phone beeped, and he saw the notification saying a location. He tapped it and the map app opened showing the location of the person on the other end.

Aizawa ran outside and used his capture scarf to get to the top of the buildings before running after the person on the other end.

Anna and Elsa

Elsa woke up early that morning and was studying for school with her desk lamp on.

She had just finished the homework assigned over the long weekend and was going to get in the shower when she heard Anna wake up.

She looked over at Anna and saw the messy mane of hair that Anna had every morning.

"Elsa?" Anna yawned. "What are you doing up so early? We have the day off."

"I was finishing homework so I can enjoy the long weekend."

"Oh. Okay. I'm going back to sleep."

"Okay. Good night."

"Good night."

Elsa grabbed a change of clothes, her toiletries, and a towel before heading to the bathroom to shower.

Once Elsa was gone Anna ran to the desk, took out Elsa's homework and copied the answers to their assignments.

It's not that she didn't know the answers to their homework, but homework was soooooooo boring.

After she finished, she went back to bed.

Elsa came back ten minutes after Anna went back to bed and began braiding her hair.

After she was done, she grabbed a book and began reading.

After a few minutes of reading Anna stretched awake. "Hi Elsa."

"Hello Anna."

"Was there any hot water left?"

"There was a bit."

"Okay. I'm going to take a shower. Will you help me with my hair afterwards?"

"Of course. What do you want done with it?"

"I don't know."

"We can decide after you're done."

"Okay. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After Anna left for the shower Elsa took out her homework and changed her answers to the correct ones. She had marked enough of the answers incorrect so that Anna would get a decent grade. She knew that Anna copied her homework, so she would make sure to mark a few of the answers incorrect so they weren't caught cheating.

Anna came back shortly after Elsa had changed her answers and got ready so Elsa could do her hair.

"So?" Elsa asked. "What are you thinking?"

"Twin braids." Anna said.

"So, your usual?"

"Yep."

"Okay." Elsa said as she started doing Anna's hair.

When they were finished, they went downstairs.

Their house wasn't as big as the castle back in Arendelle, but it was comfortable. Their parents were the CEO's of a business, but only went in once a week allowing them to spend time with Anna and Elsa.

Today they had decided to go in, leaving Anna and Elsa to tend to themselves.

"Are you ready Anna?" Elsa asked when they got to the sunroom.

"Yeah!" Anna yelled excitedly. No matter how old she got she was always happy when her sister made it snow.

Elsa stomped her foot down and snowbanks covered the sunroom, and snow fell from the ceiling.

"YAY!" Anna yelled diving into a snowbank.

Elsa used her ice to make a snowball and threw it at Anna.

Anna ducked into the snowbank and came out throwing water at Elsa.

"ANNA!" Elsa laughed. "NO FAIR. I ALREADY TOOK A SHOWER!"

"All's fair in love and sibling rivalry!" Anna yelled back.

The sisters played in the sunroom until Anna's stomach growled.

Elsa's growled shortly after Anna's.

"Breakfast?" Anna shrugged.

"We have to clean up the mess first."

Anna opened the back door and commanded the water outside while Elsa made the snow disappear.

The sisters went to the kitchen and made breakfast.

Elsa made oatmeal and toast while Anna grabbed yogurt and orange juice from the fridge.

They sat down to the table and ate in companionable silence.

When they were finished, they washed the dishes and put them away before going to the front room to watch T.V.

They turned on the T.V. and saw a documentary about Joan of Arc playing.

"Can we watch it?" Anna asked excitedly.

"Sure." Elsa said.

They were watching the Documentary when their phones beeped.

They looked at them and saw that it was the map app. They opened the app and saw...

Jason Todd.

Moving across the screen.

"Hey." Anna said. "You don't think that was an accident, do you?"

"No." Elsa said worried. "Jason wouldn't post his location without a good reason. He might be hurt."

"Let's go." Anna said.

The sisters got up and ran out of the house following their friend's location.

Johnny.

Johnny had gone to bed early the previous night hoping to spend the entire day with his dad at the garage. He was a pretty good mechanic if he said so himself, but Zarathos left a lot to be desired. So today he was going to ask his dad to teach him how to do mechanics while using his Quirk.

He went to the basement where their home gym was and began working out. He and Jason were always competing for second place in their group, what with Rogue being able to bench press a train, and all. Granted Izuku was in third place, but he was quickly catching up. Hell, he'd been training with Jason since he was five, and the ten months of hell had made him even stronger. He'd been able to bring out twenty percent of One for All at the USJ due to the close to eleven years of physical training, and he would probably be able to use fifty percent by the end of the year. Then there was the fact that he'd gained a fire breathing Quirk which belonged to his dad. Izuku might even be able to take the number one spot in their group if he kept growing at that pace.

He was brought out of his musings by his mom calling down to him.

"What?" He asked. "I zoned out for a second."

"I said it's breakfast."

"Coming." He said wiping off the sweat from his workout.

He went up and ate breakfast with his parents.

"Hey kiddo." his dad said. "Want to come to the shop with me?"

"Yeah. I was wondering if you could help me learn how to be a mechanic while using my Quirk."

"Sir, but doesn't your knowledge transfer over to your Quirk?"

"No. It's like I'm a different person when I change."

"I see. Well then. I don't see why not."

"Thanks."

Johnny finished his breakfast and showered before meeting his dad in the garage.

"How about taking the bikes?" His dad asked.

Johnny smiled. "Let's go."

Father and son drove to the mechanic shop.

When they got to the shop, they went in.

Barton was teaching Johnny, with the Rider's head, how basic mechanics work. when Johnny's phone chimed.

"Go ahead." Barton said.

Johnny looked at his phone and saw that it was the map app. He opened the app and saw...

Jason Todd.

Moving across the screen.

Johnny reverted back to himself. "I have to go."

"What's wrong?"

"Jason is in trouble."

"Oh. Get going then."

Johnny hopped on his bike and drove off after Jason.

Izuku

Izuku had exercised before going to bed and woke up early so he could work out.

When he woke up, he got dressed in a mint green track suit, and went for a jog. He jogged to Dagoba beach and began doing his workout. He had to do Push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, and lunges before he jogged back home and finished his workout. He did three sets of ten reps for each exercise.

When he was done at Dagoba he jogged home and began doing his at home workout. He did triceps dips, squats, curls, and Diamond push-ups. He also did three sets of ten reps for each exercise.

Once he was done with his workout, he took a shower and went to the kitchen where Inko was finishing cooking breakfast.

"Sit down Izuku. Breakfast is almost ready."

"Okay mom." Izuku said sitting down.

Inko put a Bowl of rice and plate with fresh fruit and vegetables in front of Izuku.

"How did your workout go?"

"It was great. If I keep working at it, I think I'll be on Jason and Johnny's level by the time we graduate."

Inko looked at Izuku feeling sad. If only he could see what she and the others saw.

After breakfast Izuku sat in front of the T.V. watching the news for any new Heroes while using grip strengtheners to work out his forearms.

He had just finished his final set when his phone chirped.

Izuku looked at his phone and saw that it was the map app. He opened the app and saw...

Jason Todd.

Moving across the screen.

"Mom!" He yelled. "I need to go!"

"What? Where are you going?"

"Jason's in trouble." Izuku said putting his shoes on.

"Shouldn't you call someone else?"

"I don't know, but I have to go."

"Be careful then."

"I will." Izuku said walking out the door.

Once he was outside, he powered One for All into his legs and took off running.

'I can only run at fifteen percent without hurting myself. I'm coming Jason!'

Rogue

Rogue had decided that she would take the day off to sleep in.

She slept in until 10:00, and when she got up, she walked into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee.

"Sleep good?" Raven asked.

"Mm-hmm." Rogue mumbled.

"Good." I have a coupon for us to go to the spa today. Go get showered and dressed, and we will go."

"Can't you look like anyone?"

"That's not the point." Raven said indignantly. "I want to spend some time with my daughter."

"Okay." Rogue said. She would spend time with her mom.

She took a shower, got dressed, and was just about to walk out the door when her phone chimed.

She looked at her phone and saw that it was the map app. She opened the app and saw...

Jason Todd.

Moving across the screen.

"I'm sorry mama, but Jason needs help."

"What? How do you know that?"

"He just sent out his location without a text. That means he's in trouble."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah mama. Jason doesn't just send us his location without a text, and it's moving. So, either his Phone was stolen, and he remotely activated it to find the thief, or he's in trouble and can't explain."

"How do you know that?"

"I've used my Quirk on all my friend's multiple times. I know how they think."

"Okay. Go help your friend."

"I'm sorry mama. We can go to the spa tomorrow."

Raven hugged Rogue before she left.

'Well. I guess I could always scare the postman or something.' Raven said to herself.

Once Rogue was out of the apartment she jumped over the side and flew off towards Jason.

Himiko.

When Jason handed the girl to her, Himiko just ran. She didn't know what else she could do.

She thought back to what had happened.

That man killed Sheila! He killed her!

Himiko didn't really like Sheila, but she didn't want her dead!

She wasn't crying. She wouldn't cry.

She used her Quirk to change into Jason, growing taller. Her legs lengthened, and her arms grew longer. Her body broadened and filled with muscle.

She was able to hold the girl better, and her stride lengthened.

The last thing she noticed was that she was covered in black and red armor. 'What is this?' She wondered.

She ran faster but heard an engine coming up behind her.

"Jason!" A blond-haired boy yelled. "Jason! What's wrong?"

Himiko looked at the boy not sure if she could trust him.

"Jason!" A girl said dropping from the sky in front of him.

Himiko backtracked.

"Jason what's wrong? Wait. Who is that girl?"

"JASON!" A green haired boy yelled coming up beside her. "What's wrong?"

Himiko turned in a circle. 'Too many people.'

"Todd!" A man said jumping down from a building. "Why did you call me, and who was the girl you were talking about? What happened to your mom? Who's that in your arms?"

"WHAT?" Everyone yelled at once. "What happened to your mom?"

"We're here!" A girl with auburn hair said pulling a girl with long white, blonde hair along with her.

"Hold on." Rogue said. "Give him some breathing room."

Everyone backed up.

"Go on Jason."

Himiko figured that they were Jason's friends, and she could trust them if he did.

She took a deep breath. "My mom and I were walking when this girl ran out of an alleyway. My mom and I were looking at her when a hand reached out of the alley and touched my mom. She exploded."

"WHAT!" The group shouted.

"I grabbed the girl and ran."

Rogue touched Jason to try and comfort him when they both pulled away from each other.

"What's wrong?" Anna asked.

"Keep calm." Rogue said. "But this isn't Jason."

"What?" Everyone asked.

Aizawa used his Quirk to nullify the person's Quirk only for a mass of grey sludge to fall off the person's body revealing a girl with blond hair.

Izuku went bright red as they realized she wasn't wearing anything under the sludge.

"Oh gosh!" Johnny said, taking his jacket off and draping it over the girl's shoulders.

Everyone else averted their eye's or looked at her from the neck up.

"Want to tell us what's really going on?" Rogue said.

Himiko was beginning to feel very anxious. Her disguise was gone, she was surrounded by people she didn't know, and because she was carrying the girl, she couldn't defend herself.

She began hyperventilating.

Everyone backed away, giving her room.

A phone rang from the sludge.

Rogue picked the phone up. "This is Jason's. How did you get it?"

The phone rang again, and Rogue put it on speaker. "Hello?" She spoke.

"Good." Jason said over the speaker. "You guy's found Himiko. I need you guys to keep her, and the girl she's carrying safe. I can't explain right now because I'm at the hospital with my mom. Keep them safe, and I'll explain when I can. Whatever you do, keep Himiko calm. She gets anxious really easily."

"Okay." Rogue said. "But..."

"I have to go. I promise that I'll explain everything later."

"Okay. bye."

Jason hung up the phone.

Everyone looked at the phone.

"Let's get back to UA." Aizawa said. "Recovery girl can look over Himiko and the girl."

"Why should I go with you!" Himiko snapped reaching awkwardly for her knife in the sludge.

"Jason told us to take care of you." Anna said. "We can help you at UA."

"I..." Himiko began before the events of the day, and the lack of sleep started taking its toll.

"Catch her!" Someone yelled

Himiko felt hands grab her, but she didn't have the strength to fight them off, and lost consciousness.

When Jason walked out of the alley and looked at his mom. "Mom!" He yelled kneeling down next to her. "Are you okay?"

"I don't know." Sheila whimpered. "I hurt all over."

"We need to get you to hospital."

"Yeah." Sheila agreed. She knew that she was in shock and was handling it as best as she could.

Jason knew that he needed to pick his mom up, but he also wanted to be ready in case that guy came back.

"HEY!" A female voice yelled. "Get away from her!"

Jason looked up in time to see a foot coming directly at his face.

Jason was sent flying by the kick and rolled to his feet.

"Stay away from her. Villain!" The voice yelled.

Jason looked up to see rabbit feet, toned legs, a hero costume with a rabbit tail sticking out of it, toned arms, a head of white hair, and a pair of white rabbit ears.

"Rabbit Hero: Mirko." Jason said. "I am not a villain. My name is Jason Haywood. That is my mother. Sheila Haywood. I attend UA High. My mother and I were attacked by a villain. I need to get her to the hospital."

"You look like a villain dressed like that." Mirko said.

"Well, I'm not."

"Show me your student I.D.."

Jason took his student I.D. and tossed it to Mirko.

Mirko looked Jason's Student I.D. over. "Show me your face."

Jason took his helmet off.

Mirko looked from the I.D. to Jason, back to the I.D. "Okay. You're who you say you are."

"Thanks." Jason said putting his helmet back on. "Can I take my mom to a hospital now?"

"Yeah. Do you want some help?"

"Can you take my mom to the hospital? I want to make sure that the guy who hurt her doesn't follow us."

"Don't you want to stay with your mom?"

"I know what he looks like, and my Quirk burns his hands."

"Okay. I'll help you." Mirko said picking Sheila up carefully.

Jason walked behind Mirko keeping his senses open for negative emotions.

They got on the subway and took off to the hospital.

When they got to the hospital Mirko put Sheila on a gurney. "This woman needs help." She spoke.

"What happened?" A nurse asked before looking at Sheila. "Dr. Haywood! What happened."

"A villain attacked us." Jason said. "He touched her once and she exploded, then he touched her again and she was back. I can't explain it."

"Who are you?"

Jason took his helmet off.

"Jason!" The nurse said shocked. "Don't worry. We'll do everything we can for her."

"Thank you."

"If you want to go sit in the waiting area, we'll come get you later."

Jason walked to the waiting area and sat down putting his head in his hands.

He was only sitting for a second when Mirko sat down next to him. "Do you need anything?"

"Yes. No. I don't know. I need- I need to make a call." He said creating a phone and walking to the hallway.

He put his number into the keypad and pressed call.

The phone rang three times before someone answered.

It was Rogue. "Hello?" She spoke.

"Good." Jason said relieved. "You guy's found Himiko. I need you guys to keep her, and the girl she's carrying safe. I can't explain right now because I'm at the hospital with my mom. Keep them safe, and I'll explain when I can. Whatever you do, keep Himiko calm. She gets anxious really easily."

"Okay." Rogue said. "But..."

"I have to go. I promise that I'll explain everything later."

"Okay. bye."

Jason hung up and rubbed his eye's. He was starting to feel tired.

He went back to the waiting room and saw Mirko was gone.

He sat in his chair and stretched. He closed his eyes and fell into unconsciousness.

Chapter 11: Tragedy: Part 2 of 4

Summary:

A man walked into a warehouse. He heard someone walking towards him and raised his hands showing his gun hands. "Who's there!" He demanded.

"Chill out man." Another male voice said. "We're all waiting."

The man didn't lower his hands. "Why should I believe you, and who's we?"

"I'll explain." A powerful voice rang out through the warehouse. "I have a job offer for one of you."

"What's the job?" a voice asked from the far side of the warehouse.

"I want you to kill someone. In exchange I will power up your Quirks, and the one who kills them will be given one million USD, and a spot on my security force."

"Prove it" The man with guns for hands said skeptically.

"Come forward."

He walked up to the front.

"What's your name?" The man asked holding out his hand.

"Tōru." The man with guns said taking the man's hand.

They shook hands and Tōru became shrouded by light. When the light faded Tōru's hands changed. Instead of .40 calibers for fingers his hands had been changed into Shotguns for forearms, and he had an instinctive knowledge that he could fold the shotguns into his arms and have prosthetic hands instead. That would make life a little easier.

"Here you go Tōru." The man said.

"What's your name?" Tōru asked.

"My name is Willis Todd, but you may call me Upgrade."

Everyone made their way up to the front of the warehouse, waiting to get their Quirks upgraded. Once everyone's Quirks had been upgraded Willis looked out over the crowd. "Are you ready for your target?"

"YEAH!" The warehouse erupted in noise.

"You're target... Jason Todd!" He pointed at the wall where a projection of Jason shone.

The room went quiet.

"The one who kills Jason Todd will get one million USD. If you kill his mother, Sheila Haywood, you will get half a million USD, and I will take you with me as part of my security team. That way you won't have to deal with the law."

"Screw it!" A voice said. "For that much money I'll kill a kid!"

The group left the warehouse to go about their job.

Tōru went back to his house and went in after folding the shotguns back into his arms and changing his arms into hands. He walked in and sat at his computer. One of the good things about dumbing down how smart you were was that no one suspected how smart you actually were. He Hacked into the cameras around Musutafu and looked for Jason Todd and Sheila Haywood. He found that Sheila Haywood had been administered to the Hospital. "Jackpot." He grinned an evil grin.

When Himiko woke up she was lying in a bed. She smelled antiseptic and began to worry. Was the last night a dream? Did her parents send her to a hospital?

"Hello." A wizened voice said.

Himiko looked over to see an old woman sitting at a desk.

The woman had grey hair tied into a bun with what looked like a needle sticking into it. She picked a cane that looked like a needle up and walked over to her. "Hello, hello. How are you?"

Himiko glared at the woman.

"No need to be worried. You are safe. We are at UA High school."

"Where is the girl I was carrying." Himiko demanded

"She's over here." The woman said pointing her cane at a bed to Himiko's right.

Himiko stood up and looked at the girl. It was the first time she had gotten a good look at her.

She had blueish grey hair and a horn on her head.

Eri was back at the compound.

She was in her room when the door opened.

Overhaul stood in the doorway.

Eri pushed herself into the wall trying to get away from him.

Overhaul walked in and grabbed her arm before dragging her out of the room.

Eri was taken to the room where he broke her.

He put her on the table and put a mask and gloves on.

She felt dread rise inside her.

The door burst open, and someone with kind eyes came in.

Overhaul grabbed the person with nice eyes and broke him.

"NNOOO!" Eri yelled.

"Now it's your turn." Overhaul said reaching for her.

The girl's eye's snapped open and she began whimpering and thrashing.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" Himiko yelled.

"We didn't do anything." The woman said. "But the girl is traumatized, which is troublesome."

"YA THINK!"

"Stop yelling. You're scaring her."

Himiko stopped yelling.

"Thank you."

"Hello." The woman said to the girl. "Can you tell us your name?"

The girl turned to look at them. "Am I safe?" she asked, breathing heavily.

"Yes."

"Where is the bad man?"

"The bad man?" The woman asked.

"The man who was chasing me."

"He's not here."

The girl seemed to relax after hearing that. "Where is the one with the nice eyes'? The one I ran into?"

"I'm not sure." Himiko said. "The bad man touched Jason's mom, and..."

"NO!" The girl yelled.

"What?" The old woman asked.

"He breaks things with his hands."

Himiko shuddered at remembering what the man had done to Sheila. At least she was alive... somehow.

"Can you tell us your name?" The woman asked.

"It's Eri."

"Hello Eri. My name is Recovery Girl."

"H-hello." Eri said stuttering for the first time.

"Are you scared of us Eri?"

"Y-yes."

"Get some sleep." Recovery Girl said kissing the top of Eri's head.

Eri laid back down on the bed as Recovery Girl left.

Himiko turned to leave but stopped when Eri grabbed her hand.

"Will you stay with me?" Eri asked with a quivering lip.

Himiko didn't know what to do. She decided to stay with Eri because she knew what it was like being afraid. She hadn't been afraid in a long time. She learned that being afraid didn't help the situation, but she felt compelled to make Eri feel better.

While Himiko sat down next to Eri she thought about the events of the past day. She met Jason, who didn't even think twice before helping her, even after she attacked him. She found an adult she might be able to trust. And she met this little girl that seemed to trust her. What was happening to her life?

Tōru walked to the back entrance of the Hospital Sheila Haywood was staying in, and snuck in. He found her room after stealing the roster and crept inside. Stabbing a doctor in the neck while looking over Sheila's medical chart, making sure to cut through the Carotid Artery.

The doctor fell to the floor in a pool of blood, and he walked over to Sheila's bed.

He went to the heart monitor and placed a disk on the side. He'd stolen the disk in case he needed it, and he was glad that he'd stolen it. It would mimic readings on whatever machine it was placed on and buy you time to do your job.

Messing with the machine he made it look like Sheila had flat lined and waited. He only had to wait five minutes before he heard someone knock. He aimed his shotguns at the door and fired.

Jason Jolted awake when he felt someone's hand on his shoulder.

"Whoa, whoa." A feminine voice said. "It's all right. You're all right. They just called you back."

Jason looked up blurrily and rubbed the sleep out of his eye's before looking up again.

"How did you sleep?" Mirko asked.

Jason got up and stretched, popping his joints and spine. "About as well as I could I guess."

"You must have been tired." Mirko said as they walked towards Sheila's room. "I went to get you something to eat and drink, and when I came back you were asleep. You slept all the way through your mom's exam."

They walked to Sheila's room, and Mirko knocked on the door.

Jason felt malicious intent coming from the door and pushed Mirko out of the way before powering up his armor just in time to take a gunshot to the chest.

The door exploded as a shotgun blast tore through it.

Mirko looked up in time to see the door explode, and Jason took a step back. "What the hell!" She yelled.

"Are you Jason Todd?" The man in the room asked.

"No." Jason said. "My name is Jason Haywood. Who are you, and did you hurt my mother?"

"See for yourself." The man said.

Jason walked in and saw a doctor lying on the floor with a pool of blood forming around his head. He looked at his mom and saw that her heart monitor had gone flat. "What did you... DO!"

"Someone said he would pay me an insane amount of money if I killed you and your mom."

Jason tackled the man out of the room before punching him into a wall. "YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME WHO PAID YOU!"

"Yeah. Right kid, and you're not fooling me by calling yourself Haywood. I know that you are Jason Todd, and once I kill you, I'll be able to retire a rich man."

"Who said that you were going to be able to kill me?!"

The man raised his arm, which was a shotgun, and aimed at Jason's head.

Jason didn't flinch, and grabbed the man's arm, turning it away from him.

Tōru felt a burning sensation in his arm. "What the hell! What's happening to my arm?"

"Tell me who paid you!" Jason yelled, crushing his arm, melting the metal.

Mirko was working on getting doctors into the room and didn't notice what Jason was doing until doctors had gotten to the room. The man had somehow managed to shut off the machines. Sheila wasn't dead... Mirko was brought out of her musings by the man. She looked over to see Jason turning the man's shotgun arm away from his head. "Tell me who paid you!" Jason yelled.

"Jason!" Mirko yelled. "Jason! Listen to me. Your mom is not dead! Do you hear me? She's not dead!"

"I just need a name." Jason yelled. "Tell me who paid you!"

"It was your dad!" Tōru yelled. The pain was intense, this kid was literally melting the flesh from his body. What was this kids Quirk? Why didn't he check the kids Quirk? for being smart that was dumb. He should have checked the kids Quirk, but he'd seen that the kid was in the Hero Course and figured he would be too scared to use his Quirk, but he wasn't. Who was Jason Todd?

Jason's world shattered. He knew that his dad was a bastard, but why did he want him dead? "WHY!" He demanded. "WHY DOES WILLIS TODD WANT ME DEAD!"

"He didn't say. He only said that he would pay me a lot to kill you. I only know that I wasn't the first, or the only one he hired."

"Come on." Mirko said. "Let the police take care of him."

Jason let go of the man's arm to reveal a molten handprint embedded in the metal. The Villain held his arm as carefully as if it had been broken.

Mirko walked Jason into Sheila's room and sat him down next to Sheila's bed, after he made his armor disappear.

Jason stared into nothingness while waiting for his mom to wake up.

"Jason Todd?" A man asked.

Jason looked up at the man.

"My name is Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi. I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions?"

"Um... Yeah. I guess. Yeah." Jason stumbled over his words.

"I only have a few questions so this should be quick."

"Um... All right." Jason wiped his hand over his forehead.

"Can you tell me what happened to get you to the hospital?"

"I um. My mom and I were going shopping." He felt like the world was too bright and loud, He couldn't think "A... uh. A young girl ran out of an alley. My mom and I, we were looking her over when uh... a uh... a hand reached out of the alley and touched my mom." Jason took in a deep shuddering breath, and closed his eyes and covered his ears as the world began screeching and he couldn't focus. He felt hands on his shoulders, and felt discomfort from the sensation. He rolled his shoulders, trying to push the hands away, and felt the world return to something resembling normalcy. "He um... he made my mom explode." He continued.

"He what?!" Tsukauchi asked, wanting to hurry before Jason became ill.

"When he touched my mom, he uh... he made her explode." Jason felt the world spin and wanted to be sick. He held his head in between his legs. "That's the best way I can explain it. I'm not entirely sure how best to describe it."

"Do you want to take a break?"

"I want to get this over with." Jason said as his skin felt like insects were crawling over it.

"Okay. Just tell me as best you can."

Mirko grabbed a cold compress and held it to Jason's forehead.

Jason jumped back and nearly brained himself on the back of the chair, and looked at Mirko.

"Enough!" Mirko shouted, not seeing Jason wince at the volume. "He's been through enough! He doesn't need you badgering him!"

"We need to know who did this." Tsukauchi placated. "We want to keep this from happening to someone else."

"I handed the girl to Himiko and told her to run after putting my phone on the location setting and called my homeroom teacher."

"Who is this Himiko?" Tsukauchi asked.

Jason's world began spinning, and he was grateful for Vertigo in the alternate world. Thanks to him, he wouldn't throw up. "She is this girl I found yesterday. She didn't have anywhere else to go, and I offered her a place to stay."

Tsukauchi looked at Jason. Most of that had been true. "What happened then?"

"The man um... he undid what he had done to my mom and told me um..." Jason grabbed the arms of the chair and gripped them as tight as he could, cracking the wood under his strength. "... he told me that if I didn't bring the girl back, he would continue to kill my mom until I did."

"What did you do?"

Jason let his rage build as it seemed like his rage soothed him. "I created armor that my Quirk allows me to create and fought him off."

"Do you have your Hero License or Provisional Hero License?"

"No." Jason bit out, his heart racing as his rage built. What was happening to him?

"So, you willingly used your Quirk without the proper paperwork?"

Jason felt his anger become a furnace of rage in the pit of his stomach. It wanted him to let it out, no, it NEEDED him to let it out. 'What the hell?! Does this guy realize that if I hadn't then my mom would be dead!? Does he really care more about a piece of paper than the safety of the people?! Is he a dirty cop?!'

Tsukauchi had been a cop long enough to gain a danger sense, and right now his was screaming at him to run, hide, anything. Just get as far away from this kid as possible.

"Are you saying that you care more about a piece of paper than the safety of the citizens?" Jason asked in a tone that marked him as a threat hunting his prey.

"No. I care about the citizens safety, but you can't go around using your Quirk like that." Tsukauchi's danger sense was shrieking at him to run and hide.

"Because I used my Quirk my mom is still alive!" Jason's temper rose, and he felt his rage shoot through his body. "What! Did you just want me to leave my mom to die like that and run away to find a Hero with the proper paperwork!"

"I need you to calm down son." Tsukauchi's danger sense took over and he jumped out of the way as Jason's fist flew over his head.

"I'M NOT YOUR SON!" Jason yelled.

Mirko and the other cops froze and turned at that.

"Detective Tsukauchi." Mirko said. "Young Jason just found out that his father has sent killers after him. Maybe it's best not to poke the bear."

"Of course." Tsukauchi said. "We can finish this some other time."

"Don't bother." Jason snarled. "As far as you're concerned, I'm no better than a villain because I used my Quirk to protect my mom. So, either arrest me now, or don't come back!"

Tsukauchi looked at Jason. The boy really thought he was doing the right thing, but in a world like this, paperwork came before doing the right thing.

The cops left, and Jason sat down next to his mom's bed.

Mirko knelt next to Jason and rubbed his shoulder. It was hot. Almost uncomfortably so. "Tsukauchi was just doing his job you know."

"In a world where people get penalized for doing the right thing." Jason said.

"I don't agree with it, and I think you did the right thing, but there are laws used to protect people..."

"Where the fuck were the laws when my mother was blown to atoms!" Jason yelled.

Mirko rubbed Jason's shoulder. "Is there anything you need?"

Jason's stomach growled.

"I'll go get you something to eat." She spoke softly.

Jason sat in the silence of the room and shuddered as he watched his mom atomize in front of him on repeat. 'Someone has to do something to stop villains like that.' He finally decided.

Mirko walked through the hospital to the cafeteria. 'Poor kid.' She thought. 'He has the power to help people, but thanks to those stupid laws he can't even mom when she needs it. Shit! What can I do? He doesn't need this crap right now. What can I do to help him?' She walked into the cafeteria and looked at what was available. "Could I get the Sushi roll, pot stickers , and a green tea." she asked. Paying for the food and walked back.

'Should I tell him about when I was a Vigilante? I mean I don't have a problem with Vigilantes. Eraser doesn't. Would it be so bad for me to tell him?" She came back to see Jason staring at his mom's bed. "The cafeteria was still serving lunch." She spoke.

"Thanks." Jason said taking the box from her and tucking into the Sushi roll, pot stickers, and green tea.

"No problem." She spoke.

She went quiet for a second before deciding against it. "I have to get going. Is there anything you need before I leave?"

"No." Jason said. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." Mirko said before leaving.

Jason looked at his mom and felt like a piece of shit. "I'm sorry mom." He said finally breaking down and crying into her blanket. He clenched the fabric in his hands and sobbed.

"Shh." Sheila said combing her hand through Jason's hair.

Jason looked up at his mom. "I'm so sorry mom."

"For what?"

"I hated you after you grounded me. I hated you. Then you were killed, and..." Jason cried. "I didn't want you to die thinking I hated you."

Sheila motioned for Jason to come closer.

Jason moved closer to his mom, and she hugged him, and he returned his mother's embrace.

"Oh Jason." she said softly. "I'm sorry. You shouldn't be going through this."

There was a knock at the door, and a familiar voice rang out. "Hello Sheila."

"Hi Haruto." Sheila replied tiredly.

"I was just coming to check if you were awake so we could run a few more tests."

"I'm awake."

"That's good. Hi Jason."

"Haruto." Jason declined his head.

"Let's get you to X-Ray then. You can follow Jason."

Jason followed Haruto as they pushed his mom towards the X-Ray lab. They lifted Sheila from her bed and placed her on the table.

Haruto took several X-Rays before sending them off to get developed.

"I'll try and get those developed as fast as I can." Haruto said before they lifted Sheila back onto her bed.

"Thank you, Haruto." Sheila said.

"It's my pleasure Dr. Haywood."

When they finished with the X-Ray lab, they went to the MRI lab.

Jason and Haruto lifted Sheila into the MRI machine and Jason waited by the machine while Haruto went to the computer and began the MRI.

After he finished the MRI, he sent the results off, and they moved Sheila back to the bed and went to the CAT scan lab.

When they arrived Jason and Haruto lifted Sheila into the CAT Scan machine.

Again, Jason stayed by his moms' side as Haruto went to the computer.

He finished and sent those off too.

"Well, the good news is that we are done." Haruto said after he helped Jason put Sheila back in her bed.

When they finished, they walked back to Sheila's room.

"I'll get your results back as quickly as I can." Haruto said when Sheila was back in her room.

"Thank you." Sheila said.

"You're Welcome." Haruto said as he left.

Sheila looked at her phone. "Is it that late already?"

Jason created a watch and looked at it. The watch said 5:30 PM. "Apparently." He spoke.

"You're going to have to leave soon."

"I'm not leaving." He said resolutely.

"Jason. You're old enough that you don't..."

"It's not because of that."

"Then what is it?"

"Willis Todd is trying to kill me."

"He's what!" Sheila said before a cough escaped her.

"He's sent people after me hoping to kill me."

Sheila was at a loss for words. "I don't know what to say. Why would he do that?"

"I don't know. Maybe because he thinks that he's my biological father?"

"He's not. Willis Todd is not your biological father."

"He seems to think so."

"Well, he's not." Sheila said. "I'll tell you tomorrow, but you should go now."

"Okay, okay. You don't have to tell me." Jason said emphasizing the last word. "I'm still not leaving in case he tries something else."

"You would be putting the rest of the patients in danger." Sheila pointed out, knowing he would back down at the thought of endangering innocents.

"Fine." Jason said with a hint of bitterness. "I'll leave, but I'll be back tomorrow."

"Okay."

Jason left the hospital and walked to the subway. He got off when he reached his stop and walked home. When he arrived home, he went to his room and opened the various panels around his room. Most of the panels in his room had trophies he'd collected since coming to this world. The first trophy he'd ever collected was a pipe from that day in the park ten years ago. Others consisted of things he found while visiting Villain attacks or just while walking home from school. He'd found a few of his trophies while cleaning Dagoba Beach. The most recent one was a chunk of rock from the USJ incident.

He took out the Phlebotomy equipment and began filling blood packs. He found a vein and punctured it with practiced ease before he started filling the blood packs. While filling blood packs, he called his phone.

Anna, Elsa, Izuku, Johnny, and Rogue were sitting in the teachers' lounge waiting for either Aizawa Sensei to come get them or Jason to call them.

"What are we waiting for?" Anna asked.

"We are waiting for Aizawa sensei to get back." Rogue said. "Or to hear from Jason how his mom is doing."

"He's been gone for hours though."

"He's been gone for..." Rogue looked at her phone and saw. "... Holy. It's already six thirty. We've been here for six and a half hours."

"Seriously?" Johnny said. "No wonder I'm so hungry."

"Has Jason called?" Elsa asked.

"Not yet."

"I hope his mom is doing okay." Anna said.

"You've been really quiet Izuku." Johnny said. "What's wrong?"

"I'm worried about Himiko and that girl."

"I know what you mean sugar." Rogue said. "Jason knows when something is wrong. Something must have happened to Himiko and the girl."

"Did you guys notice how Himiko was acting when she looked like Jason?"

"She was afraid of us." Johnny stated.

"Yeah. Almost like she suffers from anti-social tendencies." Rogue added. "If not something worse."

"I wonder..." Anna began but was interrupted by Jason's phone ringing.

"Jason!" The group said as Rogue accepted the call.

"How's your mom?" Anna and Elsa asked in unison.

"What happened?" Rogue asked.

"Who's Himiko?" Johnny asked.

"Who's the girl?" Izuku asked.

"Hold on guys." Jason said. "One at a time."

"How's your mom?" Anna asked.

"She was fine when I left the hospital."

"What happened?" Rogue asked.

Jason told them about finding Himiko the night before, and how they went to the hospital, and how they got home. He told them about the morning, and Himiko's situation.

"Wait, wait, wait." Johnny said. "You're telling me that you found Himiko's parents and threatened them to give custody of Himiko to your mom?"

"Yeah."

"AND IT WORKED!"

"Yeah."

"Dude. You're crazy."

"I have been told."

"What else happened?" Izuku asked.

Jason continued by telling his friends about his and his moms' conversation, and how he began feeling negative emotions towards her until the girl ran out of the alley and the guy made his mom explode.

"WHAT!" His friends shouted in unison.

"Yeah." Jason said. "One second my mom is standing there looking at me, and the next she is a smear..." He stopped talking. "Sorry."

"How is she alive now?" Rogue asked the difficult question.

Jason told them how he gave the girl to Himiko, called Aizawa, activated his location on his phone, and suited up before attacking the man, and how the man pulled his mom back together before Jason tackled him into the alley.

"Weren't you afraid of him touching you?" Anna asked.

"I sort of wasn't thinking." Jason admitted. "My entire thought process was to make him pay for hurting my mom."

"I understand that." Johnny said. "I'd Penance stare the hell out of the guy who did that to my mom."

"I'd fly up as high as I could before dropping him." Rogue said darkly.

"I would break every bone in my body before I would be done with him." Izuku said darkly.

Anna and Elsa hugged each other tightly not wanting to talk about their parents dying.

Jason continued talking about how Mirko helped him get to the hospital after the misunderstanding was cleared up.

"You got kicked in the face by Mirko and walked it off!?" Rogue asked. "How? She kicks concrete for her training warm-up."

"I'm a bad ass." Jason said with an air of cockiness.

"Right." she said sarcastically.

Jason's tone darkened as he told them about the guy who was paid to kill him.

"Your dad did WHAT!" Johnny yelled, becoming the Rider.

"He's hired people to kill me." Jason said before they heard the keys of a keyboard clicking. "I'm going to find out why."

"I guess that you're going to use the 'bat cave' or whatever you call it?" Rogue asked. She had gotten a memory of it when she touched his hand at the USJ, and she meant to ask about it, but forgot to.

"Yeah." Jason said. "And you're lucky my phone is encrypted with encryption codes used by Batman from my other life, or I'd be more than a little pissed off."

"Why?" Johnny asked.

"My mom has no idea that I know half of the stuff I do. Back in my previous life I learned how to use computers from Ma Gunn and Batman. I know how to hack and code, and I can do it from my phone."

"So, you're saying that 'the Bat cave' is a program?" Izuku asked.

"No." Jason said. "It's just my room, only with a few changes."

"Like what?" Anna asked.

"Right now, it's my laptop, and panel's I have on my wall removed."

"What's under the panel's?"

"Currently. Medical supplies, and trophies."

"I didn't know apartments had panel's like that." Izuku said.

"I didn't know at first, but it's what inspired me to remake the Batcave."

"Is there a point to this?" Rogue asked.

"Yes. I'm going to find out why Willis Todd..." Jason stopped talking.

"What is it, Jason?" Rogue asked.

"I'm going to kill him." Jason said in a low, dark voice.

"What is it? Jason, what's wrong?"

"Look up Willis Todd online." Jason said darkly.

Rogue looked up Willis Todd on Jason's phone and saw:

Willis Todd runs for senate.

Appear on the first article.

"Your dad is wiping the slate clean of any of his Past mistakes." Johnny said numbly.

Rogue and Anna were close enough to slap him, but Elsa froze his head.

Johnny became the Rider thawing his head before rubbing his head. "Sorry. That's not what I meant."

"No worries, but I think I know what I'm doing this summer."

"Don't do anything you'll regret." Rogue advised. "You're hurting right now. Come to UA. That's where we are. That's where Himiko and the girl are. Come here so you are with friends. you can spend the night at one of our houses."

"Yeah." The others agreed.

"Fine. Come pick me up."

"I'll be there shortly." Johnny said getting up to leave.

"See you soon." Jason said hanging up.

"Yup." Johnny said walking outside the Teachers' lounge.

"Be safe." Rogue said.

"Yup." Johnny said waving.

After he left Anna turned to Elsa. "Can you make him?" she asked with a slight blush.

"Who?" Elsa asked confused.

"Olaf."

Elsa felt embarrassed, and happy at the thought. "Why haven't we thought of this before?"

"I don't know. It seems like something we should have thought of before today."

"Let me see if I can do this." Elsa said concentrating.

"What are you doing?" Izuku asked.

"You'll see." Anna said with a giggle.

Elsa weaved her arms through the air and snow began flowing before a snowman formed.

"What kind of snowman is that?" Izuku asked.

"It's Olaf." Anna said.

"What's an Olaf?" Rogue asked hesitantly.

"Hi." The snowman said. "I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs."

"The hell!" Rogue said jumping back.

Elsa pointed at Olaf and a snow cloud appeared above the snowman. "There. Now you won't melt."

"YAY!" Olaf said running to hug Anna and Elsa.

Anna and Elsa hugged Olaf back.

Olaf ran over to Izuku and waved. "Hi. I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs."

"Hello." Izuku waved back sheepishly.

Olaf ran up to Izuku and hugged him.

Izuku looked up at Anna and Elsa who mimed hugging. So, Izuku hugged Olaf.

Rogue looked at the snowman and wasn't sure how to feel about it. "How did you do that?"

"Magic?" Elsa shrugged.

Olaf ran up to Rogue and reached up towards her. "Hi. I'm Olaf and I..."

"I heard. You like warm hugs."

Rogue Knelt down and reluctantly hugged Olaf.

"YAY!" Olaf cheered.

"Now we just have to get Jason and Johnny to hug him." Anna said.

"Good luck." Rogue laughed.

The door opened and Aizawa Sensei walked in. "We have come to a decision about the girl... What is that thing?"

"Hi." Olaf said. "I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs."

Aizawa looked at Elsa.

"What?"

"This is an irrational use of your Quirk... to alleviate your boredom."

"Not true." Elsa said. "He could be used to help comfort small children, and people who are scared."

Aizawa looked at Elsa before turning around. "Follow me."

The group followed Aizawa to the Infirmary. Aizawa knocked on the door, and they heard. "Come in." They went in to see Recovery Girl sitting at her desk with Himiko, who was wearing a hospital gown, sitting next to the girl.

"Is she awake?" Aizawa asked.

"Yes. She's awake right now."

"Martin. Test your theory."

"Right." Elsa said. "Olaf. There is a girl over there who might want a hug."

"Okay." Olaf said waddling over to Himiko. "Hi. I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs."

Himiko looked at the... thing. "I'm Himiko, and I like stabbing people."

Eri looked at the thing standing next to her bed and didn't know what to make of it. "What is that?" She asked Himiko.

Olaf turned to Eri and waved. "Hi. I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs."

"Hello Olaf." Eri said.

"Can I have a hug?" Olaf asked.

Eri got out of bed and hugged the snowman. It was cold, but also warm at the same time.

The friends and adults saw that Eri wasn't smiling.

"What's wrong?" Rogue asked.

"She's suffered from intense emotional, Mental, and physical abuse." Recovery girl said sadly. "She's only five years old."

Anna and Elsa covered their mouths while Rogue and Aizawa felt rage in the pit of their stomachs.

"Hey." Elsa said. "My name is Elsa. "What's your name?"

Eri pushed into Himiko to try and hide.

Elsa raised her hands in a non-threatening gesture. "You don't have to be afraid. We won't hurt you. Can I show you something?"

Himiko didn't know what to do. She had no experience in this area. Last night was her first experience with positive human contact.

"Watch." Elsa said stepping on the floor and creating snow in the infirmary.

Eri looked up as snowflakes began landing on her. She looked up to see snow falling.

"Oh." Eri said in awe.

"Yay." Olaf said jumping up and down excitedly. "It's snowing!"

Eri looked up at the snow in awe, but still, she wouldn't smile.

"That didn't work." Elsa said sadly.

"Maybe Jason will be able to help when he gets here." Rogue hoped.

Jason's phone chimed after a few minutes of watching Eri and Olaf play in the snow.

Ghost Rider: Where are you guys?

Rogue typed a response and sent it.

Robin: The Infirmary.

They watched as Jason's phone registered it was responding.

Ghost Rider: Got it. On our way.

They waited for Jason and Johnny outside the Infirmary.

When Jason and Johnny got there. Rogue, Anna, and Elsa hugged Jason.

Jason returned their hugs and fist bumped Izuku.

Aizawa came out and talked to Jason.

"How is your mother, Todd?"

"Haywood." Jason corrected.

"What?"

"My last name is Haywood."

"Why are you changing your name?"

"I refuse to share the name of the man who abandoned my mother and I, and has sent people after me to kill me."

Aizawa became very quiet. "I see. I have some things to discuss with the principal. I will be back."

"Where's the girl and Himiko?" Jason asked.

They led Jason into the Infirmary where he saw Eri and Olaf playing in the snow while Recovery Girl and Himiko watched.

"Himiko catch." Jason said tossing Himiko a fresh blood pack, which she began drinking greedily.

"Oh, my go..." Himiko moaned in pleasure as she drank the warm, mostly fresh blood.

Izuku went beet red at the sound, and the others looked from Jason to Himiko, back to Jason.

"What's the big idea?" Recovery Girl scolded hitting Jason in the head with her cane. "Why did you give her blood? How did you get the blood? How do you know the blood isn't..."

"Shut up granny." Himiko said before draining the blood bag and tossing it in the trash can. "I need blood to survive, and that was the best blood he's given me yet."

Everyone looked at Jason.

"Care to explain?" Recovery Girl asked.

"I have stored blood, and she needed blood yesterday. I gave her some and made a fresh bag today. I thought she might want some fresh blood. I also brought the rest of my stock." Jason said, pulling three blood packs from his bag.

Recovery Girl took the blood and put it in her refrigerator. "Everyone but Jason, Eri, and Himiko... get out!" she said sternly.

When everyone left Recovery Girl glared at Jason. "What's wrong with you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Storing blood!" She yelled, hitting Jason with her cane. She noticed that Jason didn't even flinch. "Why are you storing blood?"

"In case I need a blood transfusion."

Recovery Girl rubbed her temples. "Stupid boy. You could hurt yourself by doing this."

"Sorry, but this turned out to be good for Himiko."

"Be that as it may. You can't be doing such reckless things."

"I'm sorry, but..."

"But nothing!" Recovery Girl said hitting him with her cane again. "You will not store blood by yourself again."

"Does that mean that you will help me?"

"Let me talk with Himiko."

Jason walked outside.

"Haywood." Aizawa said. "Principal Nedzu wants to see you."

Jason went with Aizawa Sensei to Principal Nedzu's office. When they arrived at Principal Nedzu's office, Jason walked in.

"Ah." Principal Nedzu said. "Young Haywood. I am sorry to hear that your weekend has been going poorly. Rest assured that UA will do everything in our power to keep you, your mother, Himiko, and Eri safe."

"What do you know?" Jason asked.

"Jean was able to use her Quirk to tell us Eri's and Himiko's stories."

"Will that hold up in a court of law?"

"Unfortunately, no."

"Then how will that help?"

"Let me rephrase. We can help Himiko by taking her parents to court."

"Who is going to get custody of her?"

"UA would get custody of her."

"She won't like that. She has some serious trust issues."

"I don't blame her." Jean said. "She was locked in her room only coming out to see Quirk suppressors. When she was fed it was barely more than table scraps, and the only time she was given blood was when she took it from the Quirk suppressors and counselors. That is until last night. The poor girl was practically starving."

'I should have killed her parents this morning.' Jason thought, clenching his fists in rage.

"What of Young Eri-Chan?" Nedzu asked.

"What she went through was torture. She was ripped apart and put back together so many times that normal pain no longer registers..."

Jean was cut off by an intense wave of killing intent.

The teachers and principal looked at Jason who was vibrating with rage.

"Young Haywood?" Nedzu asked.

"Maybe it's the fact that in the last twenty-four hours I have found a girl who was being abused and neglected by her parents, found a girl who was being tortured for who knows what reason, watched my mom killed before being brought back to life and hospitalized, and found out that my sperm donor wants me dead so he can wipe away any past mistakes. But It's made me realize that someone has to stop them!"

"That's literally the point of this Academy." Vlad King growled out.

"You don't get it!" Jason snarled. "I wasn't referring to the other heroes that will come out of this school. I'm referring to me. I will become a hero that makes the Villains think twice before committing a crime. I will be the reason villains become uneasy when the sun goes down because it means I come out to play, and rest easy when the sun comes up because they think I'm not watching. I will be the reason a madman will think twice before he beats a child to near death before blowing him to hell."

Jean saw a flash of a pasty white man with a crowbar.

"This resolve..." Nedzu said."...I like it. You are going to make a fine hero."

"Did you say that your father wants you dead?" Midnight asked.

"Yes."

"WHAT THE HELL!"

"He's apparently running for the senate and wants to wipe the slate clear of any mistakes..."

Midnight got up and stalked towards Jason.

Jason took a step back but stopped when Midnight held her hand up.

"I'm not going to hurt you, Haywood." Midnight put her hand on his shoulder. "You are not a mistake."

"Um... thanks. I already knew that. My mom already told me that."

"Never forget it." Midnight said.

"Okay. I won't."

"You may go for now." Nedzu said.

"Thank you." Jason bowed before leaving.

"What do you think Jean?" Nedzu asked after Jason left.

"I think he's been through hell, and I'm surprised he's doing this well."

"I don't know if he's really meant to be here." Vlad said. "He's starting to sound like a villain."

"Are you kidding me Vlad?" Midnight asked. "You heard what's happened in the last twenty-four hours. If anything, he sounds more like a Hero than some of the Heroes we put out in the world."

"What makes you say that?" Nedzu asked.

"Rather than killing he's restrained himself."

"Just barely." Vlad scoffed. "I say we throw him out before he becomes a full-fledged Villain."

"Do that." Aizawa said. "And he will become a full-fledged Villain, one we aren't ready to deal with."

"Yes." Jean added. "If you kick Jason out now, not only will he become a Villain, but he might become the very thing that destroys hero society itself."

Vlad looked at the door.

Jean felt a feeling from Vlad that she couldn't describe. It felt like fear, but also something else.

"I believe we can call it a night." Nedzu said.

Everyone but Jean left.

Once everyone was gone Nedzu made a pot of tea. "Did you find anything?"

"A few things."

"Start with the bad news."

"Jason thought that he should have killed Himiko's parents when he visited them this morning."

"I am glad that he didn't."

"So, am I, but don't you think it's disturbing that he went and saw them this morning?"

"What did he do?"

"He broke her father's leg and forced him to sign custody of Himiko over to his mom."

"That is serious, but you know more about Himiko's situation than I do." Nedzu held his hand up. "Please do not show me. Himiko should be able to keep her dignity."

"Then you felt the Killing Intent roll off Jason."

"Yes. That was most distressing."

"It was after we told him about Eri."

"What do you think it means?"

"He obviously has issues with children being hurt."

"What do you make of it?"

"I caught a flash of a pasty, pale man with a crowbar."

"Do you think...?"

"I hope not."

"That is very troubling."

"So is the fact that his dad put out a kill order on him."

"Yes. We should put a stop to that."

"Agreed."

"Do you have more?"

"Yes. I saw a glimpse of the future. It's the farthest I've seen so far."

"How far?"

"Ten years."

"Your previous record was six, wasn't it?"

"Yes."

"You are making excellent progress."

"Thank you, Sensei."

"What did you see?"

"I saw the Hero Board."

"Hmm. What did it look like?"

Jean took out a piece of paper and wrote.

1) Hero Team Green Tea: Dikeru the Dragon and Uravity

2) Raven the Rogue

3) Ghost Rider the Bounty Hunter

4) Icy hot: The Half and Half Hero.

5) Red Hood the UA Knight

6) Ingenium: The Rapid Hero

7) Dyno-Might: The Explosive Hero

8) Sentinel: The Guardian Hero

9) Yuki Onna: The Ice Queen

10) Naiad: The Water Sprite

Jean handed the paper to Nedzu.

Nedzu looked over the paper before memorizing it and burning the paper. "Thank you, Jean.

"For what?"

"We are leaving the world in good hands."

"There is a possibility that this future won't come to pass though."

"I'm sure that we can find a way to make this reality stay."

"How Sensei?"

"We will find a way.

Jason made his way to his friends after he left Principal Nedzu's office.

When he got back to them, he found them sitting out in front of the infirmary.

"Hey." He spoke.

"What did the principal want to talk to you about?" Anna asked.

"He wanted to know what happened."

"Did you tell him?" Rogue asked.

"Yeah."

"I have a question." Elsa said.

"Shoot." Jason wiped his hand across his face.

"How are you so calm? I mean if I went through what you did, I would have shut down."

"Or run away and build an ice castle in the mountains while freezing the rest of the city?" Anna poked Elsa.

"That was only the one time." Elsa said. "Plus. Mama and Papa didn't help by telling me to conceal and not feel."

"What the fuck is it with bad parents?" Jason asked rhetorically, wiping his face.

Everyone looked at Jason like he'd grown a second head.

"What?" Jason asked a little harshly.

"You just dropped the F bomb." Anna said sheepishly.

"Oh. Sorry. I guess that this day is finally catching up with me."

"It's fine dude." Johnny said. "We understand."

"Hey Izuku." Jason turned to him. "How's Ochako doing?"

Izuku looked like he'd been hit by a truck. "I completely forgot to check!" He yelled, pulling out his phone and texting her.

Izuku: Hey Uraraka. How are you doing?

The friends stood in silence until Aizawa sensei came to them. "It's late. Normally I would send you home but considering the last few days it would be completely irrational to send you home right now. So, the principal has decided that you will stay here tonight and go home tomorrow.

"Where Will we sleep?" Anna asked.

"Follow me."

The students followed Aizawa Sensei.

Aizawa Sensei took them back to the class 1A classroom where sleeping bags were on the floor.

"Sleepover!" Anna cheered.

"Call your parents and tell them what's going on. We have gym uniforms for you to use as sleep wear."

"What about toothbrushes and toothpaste?" Elsa asked.

Jason created toothbrushes. "Want to cool them off?" Jason asked Anna holding the toothbrushes towards her.

Anna put the toothbrushes in a bubble of water and watched as it began steaming.

The friends went to the respective bathrooms and changed before brushing their teeth.

After they finished, they went back to their homeroom and pushed the desks out of the way before sliding into their sleeping bags.

Anna sent a text to her dad.

Anna: Hey dad. Elsa and I are at UA. something happened. We will tell you about it tomorrow.

Dad: Okay. so long as you guys are safe. Text us if you need anything.

Anna: Okay. we will. Love you. Good night.

Dad: I love you too. Good night.

Elsa sent a text to her mom.

Elsa: Hi mom. I just wanted to let you know that Anna and I are at UA. We are with the others and are safe. We will explain everything when we see you tomorrow.

Mom: Okay. Be careful. Let us know if you need anything.

Elsa: We will. See you tomorrow. Love you. Good night.

Mom: Good night. I love you too.

Izuku sent a text to Inko.

Izuku: Mom. Don't worry. I'm fine. I'm with everyone. We are staying the night at UA.

Mom: What happened?

Izuku: I'll tell you tomorrow.

Mom: Are you alright? How's Jason!

Izuku: I'm fine. Jason is doing okay. I'll tell you tomorrow.

Mom: Okay. Be safe.

Izuku: I will be.

Mom: Good night.

Izuku: Good night.

Jason sent his mom a text. He wasn't sure if she would reply.

Jason: Hey mom. I'm at UA. Don't worry. I'm with my friends, and we are all spending the night here.

He waited for a few minutes before he supposed she was asleep for the night.

He thought about talking to a Divine Being, but with everything he'd seen, and experienced he figured that there was no such thing. What kind of Divine Being allowed all the evil around the world to exist? Did they do it because they got some twisted pleasure out of it?

If so, he refused to worship it.

Johnny text his parents.

Johnny: Hey mom. Dad. I'm at UA with my friends. I'll explain tomorrow.

Mom: Okay.

Dad: How's Jason?

Johnny: I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Dad: ? Okay. Talk to you tomorrow.

Johnny: Good night.

Mom: Good night. Love you.

Johnny: Love you too.

Dad: Good night.

Johnny: Good night.

Rouge sent a text to her mom.

Rogue: Hey mama. I'm at UA with my friends. Don't worry.

Mama: Are you guy's safe? How's Jason?

Rogue: I'll tell you tomorrow.

Mama: Okay. Get some sleep, and don't party too much.

Rogue: I won't. Good night.

Mama: Good night. Love you.

Rogue: Love you too.

After they talked to their parents the friends talked until one by one, they fell asleep.

Jason was the last one to fall asleep. He kept wondering what he could have done differently. If there was something else that he could have done to save his mom and Eri.

He kept wondering until exhaustion took over and he passed out.

Chapter 12: Tragedy: Part 3 of 4

Summary:

Things go from bad to worse when Jason gets a call.

Notes:

Chapter Text

AN: I don't own the characters used in this chapter. They belong to their respective creators.

AN: Edited on 2/15/2021

Saturday

Jason woke up when he heard a phone go off. He got up and saw that it was his. He looked at it and saw a missed call. After a second, he saw a notification for voicemail. He opened the voicemail and listened.

Jason. This is Haruto from the hospital. Call me back.

Jason went outside the room and called Haruto back.

"Jason?" Haruto asked when he picked up the phone.

"Yeah. what's this about? How's my mom?"

"I'm sorry Jason. I really am, but it's not good. Your mom is dying."

Jason felt an enormous weight accumulate around him. "What?" He asked as a lump rose in his throat.

"Your mom. She's dying. I know that this must be difficult to hear, but if you want to talk to her before she passes on you need to get here. The sooner the better."

"I'm on my way." Jason said hanging up.

Izuku.

Izuku woke up when he heard a phone go off. He got up and looked around to see Jason look at his phone before listening to it and walking outside. He walked to the door and listened to Jason say. "Yeah. What is it? Is it about my mom?"

Jason went quiet before saying in a voice that was polar opposite of him. "What?" Jason went quiet before saying. "I'm on my way."

Midoriya moved to the side as the door opened and Jason walked in and changed before walking out.

"Guys." Izuku said shaking Johnny and Rogue. "Guys wake up."

Johnny and Rogue woke up and went on high alert.

"What's wrong?" Johnny asked.

"Jason just got a call about his mom."

The two were up and ready to go in record time.

"Anna. Elsa." Johnny said. "Wake up."

"What's wrong?" Anna asked stretching.

"Jason's going to see his mom."

The sisters got up and dressed quickly before they ran to the entrance.

Once outside Johnny ran to the bike rack to get his bike, Rogue picked up Anna and Elsa an took off towards the hospital, and Izuku powered up One for All and channeled it into his legs before running.

Johnny pulled up beside Izuku and pulled him onto the back of his bike and changed into the Rider before taking off.

Shota watched from the roof of UA as his students ran off to support their friend.

He pulled out his phone and sent a text to Hizashi and Nemuri.

Shota: Meet me at the hospital. Haywood just left. He's going to need some support.

Hizashi: I'm leaving now.

Nemuri: I'll meet you there.

Shota put his phone in his pocket and used his capture Weapon to follow his students.

Jason

When Jason arrived at the hospital, he saw his friends waiting for him.

"What are you guys doing here?" He asked.

"Did you really think we were going to let you do this alone?" Johnny asked.

"I guess not."

They walked to the back entrance where Haruto was waiting.

"I see that you brought your friends." He spoke.

"They tagged along."

"Very well. This way."

They walked to Sheila's room and Haruto ushered them in.

Jason walked up to her bed and took her hand. "Mom." He spoke.

Sheila struggled to open her eyes and Jason could feel her pain. It was all over her body, but especially in her head. There was so much pressure in her head that he didn't know how she was awake and not on pain killers. "Hi Jason." She wheezed. "I thought you left."

"I did, but Haruto called."

"Oh. What did he say?"

Jason looked at his mom and couldn't bring himself to tell her the truth. "He said you were going to be okay." He lied. "He said that everything was going to be okay."

"Oh. That's good. I guess I just needed to rest."

"Yeah."

"Jason. If there is one thing that I want, you to know. It's that I'm proud of you. You are always putting others above yourself, even if you are a little reckless and violent. I know that you will make an excellent Hero."

"Mom?" Jason asked feeling a lump rise in his throat. "Why does it sound like you're saying goodbye?"

"Jason. I'm a doctor. I know what's going on. I've given plenty of these talks to other families. How long do I have?"

Jason broke after that. "No." He sobbed. "Please. Don't. I can't lose you again."

Sheila gave Jason's hand a slight squeeze. "Promise me something." She spoke.

Jason looked at her with tear filled eyes.

"That little girl will need you. Please become the Hero that she needs you to be. Become her knight in shining armor or her Guardian Angel. She doesn't need someone who works around the law to get things done, she needs to see that the law works. Become a Hero that makes the laws work. Please promise me this."

Jason looked at his mom.

"Please." She pleaded.

"Okay mom." He sobbed.

"Thank you." She said before she started coughing.

Jason sat her up slowly and reached for some water.

"Thank you." Sheila said after she drank some of the water.

"You're welcome." Jason said with a sniff.

Sheila hugged Jason lightly and whispered something to him before he laid her down on the bed. He sat next to her and held her hand.

As Jason's friends watched their friend say goodbye to his mom, a woman they all saw as another mother to them, they all started crying. They were so overcome with their emotions that they didn't notice when Aizawa Sensei, Mic Sensei, and Midnight Sensei walked in.

"Hey there little listeners." Mic said so softly that it didn't sound like him. "Let's give him some privacy."

The Heroes in training were led out of the room and into the hallway. They waited for Jason until they heard him howl in emotional agony, and doctors and nurses began running to the room

Midnight went into the room while Aizawa and Mic held the friends back.

Midnight walked out carrying Jason. "I had to use my Quirk." She said sadly, tears glistening in her eyes. He tried fighting the doctors and nurses.

The group walked out to the waiting room and sat Jason in a chair.

A nurse walked up. "Are you here to check him in?"

"No." Midnight said. "We're here to support him."

"I'm so sorry. Who was it?"

"His mother."

"Oh. I'm so sorry to hear that."

"His mom was Dr. Haywood." Rogue said, trying to keep her voice calm, but it broke after a second and fresh tears streamed down her face.

"What?!" The nurse said startled. "No. How did she die?"

"As far as we know it was a Villain attack." Midnight said

"Oh no. Poor kid."

"Are you new here?" Rogue asked.

"Yes. I started a little over a month ago. Dr. Haywood was always nice to me. I'll miss her."

"We need to get Young Haywood back home." Mic said. "Back to UA."

"Of course." The nurse said getting out of the way.

The group left the hospital sadly. Wishing that one of them had a Quirk that could change things, one that could bring Sheila back.

Jason woke up in a void. It was dark, the only light coming from the fire along the edges.

"Where am I?" He asked.

"You're at a crossroads." Efreeti said.

"What!" Jason demanded.

"You're at a crossroads. You have a choice to make."

"And what choice is that?"

"You can either choose to be the Hero your mother wanted you to be, or you can choose to be the Hero this city needs. Be the Knight in shining armor, or the Black Knight. Be the Guardian Angel, or the Archangel."

"I'm not sure I follow."

"You can be the Hero who gives people hope or the Hero who keeps them safe."

"I can't be both?"

"I'm going to chalk you not understanding what I'm saying up to grief. You can either be the type of Hero who just gives people hope by throwing Villains in prison. Or you can be the type of Hero that keeps people safe by killing the Villains, and therefore making the world a safer place."

Jason thought about that. "The old me would kill Villains without a second thought."

"But?"

"But the old me has to be killed so I can keep the promise I made to my mother."

"I see. How do you plan on killing your old self?"

"By sacrificing it."

"How are you going to sacrifice yourself?"

"By cutting all ties to Jason Todd and bringing Jason Haywood into the light."

"I see. How do you plan on doing that?"

"Willis Todd has to die."

The friends and their teachers walked outside to Johnny's bike.

"Do we want to take Jason back to UA?" Rogue asked.

"I think it would be best." Johnny said. "That way he can wake up somewhere neutral.

"I'll take him." Rogue said holding out her hands.

Midnight handed Jason to Rogue. "I think you should go talk to your parents." She spoke.

That broke the dam and the friends started crying.

Rogue took off to UA with tears stinging her eyes.

Johnny got on his bike before looking at Anna and Elsa. "Can I drop you guys off at home?" He asked feeling a lump rise in his throat.

The sisters got on Johnny's bike with Anna in front of Johnny and Elsa sitting behind him with her arms around his waist.

"Can we walk you home Young Midoriya?" Midnight asked.

"I think that I need some time to think about today." Izuku said through his tears.

"Okay." She spoke.

Izuku began walking and muttered to himself causing the world to distort around him.

"I'll follow Rogue and Jason." Aizawa said swinging his capture weapon to get onto the roof.

"I'll follow young Midoriya." Mic said.

"Then I'll make sure that the others get home safely." Midnight said.

The teachers went their separate ways to follow their students.

Rogue was almost to the school when her head erupted in pain.

"AHH!" She yelled accidentally dropping Jason to cover her ears. She realized what she had done and flew down to catch him only to be hit with the same sonic blast. "JASON!" She yelled.

Jason was caught by a white strip of fabric and pulled towards...

"Aizawa Sensei!" Rogue yelled.

"Darkhölme!" Aizawa yelled. "Get down here and protect Haywood. I'm giving you permission to use your Quirk to keep the two of you safe!"

Rogue flew down and stayed with Jason while Aizawa Sensei glared at the Villain erasing his Quirk.

Rogue looked up at the Villain and saw that it had bat wings and clawed feet. She felt something move next to her and saw Jason stirring. "Just hang on sugar."

There was the click of a gun from behind her and a voice said. "Don't move or I'll blow your brains out all over Jason."

"How do you know his name?"

"I'm one of the guys sent here to kill him."

Rogue felt something brush against her foot and saw Jason's hand moving towards the guy.

"Now. Lay flat on your stomach so I can kill Jason. Then maybe I'll have a little fun before letting you... OW!" The Villain yelled as Jason cooked his flesh with a hellfire armored hand.

"You're going to tell me what I want to know." Jason said darkly. "So, who sent you!" He demanded.

"I was hired by your father to kill you!" The man yelled.

"Good. Now. Listen to me. You are going to find my father and kill him."

"He'll kill me!"

"I'll kill you if you don't."

"He's the one who powered up my Quirk! His Quirk allows him to power up weak Quirks! I had guns for hands before he upgraded my Quirk giving me guns for arms!"

"I don't give a damn what his Quirk does! You're going to find him and kill him, or I'll kill you!"

"No! Please! You don't understand..."

The man was cut off by Aizawa knocking him out and away from Jason's grasp.

"Damn it!" Jason yelled.

"What is it hon?" Rogue asked.

"This means Willis Todd is most likely in Japan right now, he's so close and I can't do anything about it!"

"What do you mean?"

"How could someone overseas contact so many Villains and power up their Quirks overseas?"

"You have a point." Rogue said.

"Darkhölme." Aizawa said. "Get Haywood back to UA now!"

"Right." Rogue said picking up Jason and keeping him from struggling while she flew to UA.

"You don't understand!" Jason yelled. "I have to get rid of him!"

"Hush sugar." Rogue said pinching the bundle of nerves on Jason's neck sending him into unconsciousness. "I hope I did that right." She spoke.

Johnny drove up to Anna and Elsa's house. "Are your parents' home?" He asked.

"They should be." Anna sniffed.

"Thanks for the ride Johnny." Elsa added.

"You're welcome." Johnny replied before watching them get into the house and drove off.

He was not even two hundred feet from the house when he was kicked off his bike.

He skidded to a stop and jumped up, becoming the Rider. "I don't know who the hell you are, or who you think you are, but that was the last mistake you'll ever make."

"Oh. I'm so scared of a kid. What about your little friends?" He asked pointing at the house where two more Villains were trying to get inside.

"You bastard!" Johnny yelled.

"Blaze!" A female voice yelled from the side. "You have permission to use your Quirk. I'll take care of Anna and Elsa!" Midnight ran towards the house.

"Thanks, teach." Johnny said cracking his neck and knuckles. "But I was going to use it whether you gave me permission or not."

"Hold on a second." The Villain said backing away. His bravado leaving now that Johnny was no longer restricted by the law.

Johnny jumped at the Villain and grabbed him by the shirt. "Ya know. On a normal day I would probably kick your ass and call it a day, but I'm having a really bad day. So. Look into my eyes and feel the pain you have caused the innocent."

The Villain screamed as he felt every horrible thing he'd done be inflicted on his soul.

Johnny dropped the corpse and looked over at a kid looking at him. He pointed at the kid. "You... innocent... uh. Don't do drugs." Before walking over to his bike and grabbed it. The bike changed into his ride, and he drove up to Anna and Elsa's house. When he got there, he saw the door broken down and he ran inside. "Anna! Elsa! Midnight sensei!"

"We're in here!" Anna yelled.

Johnny walked in and saw two villains frozen in ice. "Nicely done."

"Thanks. Midnight Sensei helped us."

"Thank you, Midnight Sensei." Johnny said with a nod.

"You're welcome. Take Anna, Elsa, and their parents to UA. You have full permission to use your Quirk."

"Right. Let's go." Johnny said.

Anna, Elsa, and their parents ran outside. They got into their SUV, and Johnny was in the driver seat.

"Johnny?" Agnarr asked.

"Trust me. I know what I'm doing." He said putting his hands on the dashboard sending hellfire into the car. The SUV changed becoming more demonic and caught fire.

Agnarr and Iduna screamed when they saw the fire.

"Don't worry." Johnny said. "You should be safe."

"Should be?" Agnarr asked nervously.

"Yeah. If you are a sinful person, then you might be burnt by the flames." Johnny floored the SUV in reverse and spun around before he changed it to drive and smashed the accelerator to the floor.

Agnarr and Iduna were screaming as their car tore through the streets.

Johnny looked into the rear-view mirror and saw his bike following them. "That's my girl." He spoke.

Agnarr and Iduna looked back and saw Johnny's motorcycle following them and screamed again.

"Uh. Johnny." Anna said. "The cops are following us."

Agnarr and Iduna looked at each other before they both passed out.

"Hold on." Johnny said and he touched the dashboard again. The SUV sped forward and he saw that he was coming up on a railroad crossing. "Hold on!" He yelled pushing the accelerator to the floor putting a bit more speed into the car and jumped the crossing mere seconds before the train would have hit them. "Next stop UA." He spoke.

They turned into UA and stopped in the courtyard joined by his bike.

Johnny changed and both vehicles changed back. "Get inside." He told Anna and Elsa who ran towards the school. He picked up Agnarr and Iduna before he whistled, and the vehicles went and parked.

When they got inside the school, they took Agnarr and Iduna to the infirmary.

"What happened?" Recovery Girl asked when they arrived.

"They passed out."

"How?"

"I was driving their car."

"That seems a bit extreme."

"I was using my Quirk, and their car was on fire."

"That makes more sense."

"Where's Jason?" Anna asked.

"He's sleeping." Recovery Girl pointed at a bed.

"I need to call my parents." Johnny said leaving.

"So do I." Rogue said. "Anna. Elsa. If Jason moves freeze him."

"Okay." Anna said.

Johnny and Rogue walked outside.

Johnny opened his Phone and called his mom.

"Johnny?" Clara asked. What's wrong?"

"You and dad need to get over to UA. Now."

"Johnny. What's wrong?"

"You need to get to UA! I'll explain then."

"Okay, okay. Your dad and I are on our way."

"Thank you."

"We'll see you soon."

Rogue called her mom.

"Hello?" Raven answered her Phone.

"Mama. You need to get to UA now."

"What's going on?"

"You might be in danger."

"What?"

"Just get to UA and we will explain here."

"Okay. I'm on my way."

"Thanks mama. I'll see you in a little while."

"I'll see you soon Marie."

Rogue hung up and walked back to Johnny.

"We should probably wait outside." Johnny said.

"Right." Rogue said.

The two walked out to meet their parents.

They were waiting ten minutes when Midnight Sensei and Inko showed up.

"Johnny. Rogue." Inko said. "Where's Izuku?"

"He's not with you?" Rogue asked, nervously.

"No." Inko said worried.

"I'm going to find him."

"No!" Midnight said. "He's with Hizashi. He'll be safe."

Rogue didn't like the thought of leaving Izuku out there, but Mic Sensei was a pro Hero, so Izuku should be safe.

A few minutes later Barton, Clara, and Raven showed up.

Barton was on his custom motorcycle and Clara and Raven were riding on Clara's.

Midnight scanned her card over a card reader and let them in.

Raven got off the bike and hugged Rogue. "What happened?"

"Can you wait a few more minutes so that everyone is here?"

"I suppose."

Barton and Clara drove off to the garage to park their bikes.

While they were coming back Agnarr, Iduna, Anna, and Elsa came out.

"Will someone please tell me what's going on?" Agnarr asked.

"Wait until Izuku gets back." Rogue said.

"Very well."

Izuku was walking home while muttering to himself when his phone vibrated.

He took it out of his pocket and looked at it.

There were several notifications about Heroes, ten missed calls, and seventeen texts.

Three of the texts were from Ochako, ten were from his mom, and the other four were from his friends.

Rogue: Look out. Villains are attacking. Get to UA ASAP.

Johnny Blaze: Hey. Be on the lookout for Villains. Come to UA.

Anna: HEY! Be careful. Come back to UA. It's not safe.

Elsa: Izuku! We were attacked by Villains. It's not safe, get back to UA!

He also noticed that most of the calls were from his mom, two were from Ochako, and one from each of his friends.

He read Ochako's texts.

Ochako Uraraka: Hey Deku. I'm doing okay. I'm bored. How are you doing?

Ochako Uraraka: How is your day off?

Ochako Uraraka: Can we talk?

He listened to Ochako's voicemail.

"Hey Deku. I guess you're pretty busy. I'm just waiting at home. It's nice and all, but it's really boring because my parents won't let me help out around the house. How are you holding up? I know it's only been a few days, but I'm really bored. How are Iida, Anna, Elsa, Jason, Johnny, and Rogue? How are Tsu, Mina, and Denki? Oh wait. You probably haven't talked to them yet. Well, maybe you talked to your friends since you are pretty close, and I'm rambling now so I'm going to say goodbye. So, goodbye. Love you."

Izuku went red and listened to the next voicemail.

"Deku I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say I love you! I mean I like you and everything, but not love! Or at least not love love. I don't know what I mean. Bye."

Izuku looked at his phone sheepishly before his friend's texts finally registered in his brain, and he turned around to run only to be grabbed by his throat and lifted into the air by a bald man with red eye's.

"I'm going to kill you unless your little friend Jason comes to get you." The man said. "Then I'm going to kill Jason."

"Why do you want to kill Jason?" Izuku wheezed.

"For the money, his old man put on his head."

"LEAVE MY STUDENT ALONE!" Mic Sensei yelled at the man with his Quirk.

The man dropped Izuku and covered his ears.

"MIDORIYA, I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO USE YOUR QUIRK!"

Izuku powered up One for All to twenty percent and punched at the man. "I WON'T LET YOU HURT JASON!" He yelled punching the man with his available strength.

"MIDORIYA! RUN BACK TO UA! I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS GUY FOR THE POLICE!"

"But Mic Sensei!" Midoriya protested.

"DO WHAT I SAY!"

Izuku turned around and saw three men coming up behind them. "Get away! He yelled, taking in a deep breath and breathing out a gout of Violet flame shrouded in green lightning.

Two of the men were hit with his fire breath. One of them received burns while the other was hit by the lightning, paralyzing them.

The third villain was out of range and ran at Izuku with his fists clenched and bone claws protruding from his knuckles. "Kid. I don't care about you. I'll kill you and then kill Jason. One and a half million is a lot of money."

Izuku felt rage fill his stomach and did something he hadn't ever done before. "DIE!" He yelled charging up One for All and punching the Villain with One for All one hundred percent.

The Villain felt his ribs shatter and was sent flying.

Mic sensei had finished tying up the Villain he was fighting when he heard Midoriya yell. "DIE!" And someone grunt in pain.

He turned around and saw Izuku holding his shoulder and sobbing angrily. "Hey there listener. What's wrong?" He walked around and saw Izuku holding his red arm and the hateful look in his eyes. "What happened little listener?"

"He said that he was going to kill Jason for money!" Izuku bit out through the pain.

"Let's get you back to UA." Mic said putting his hand on Izuku's uninjured shoulder. 'Something is very wrong here.' He thought. 'I've only known Midoriya a short time, but what I know about him, he's not one to get angered easily.' Mic helped lead Izuku away and called the police to tell them what happened.

When they got back to UA, they saw Johnny and his parents along with Rogue and her mom, and Anna, Elsa and their parents waiting for them.

"Izuku!" Anna yelled. "What happened to your arm?"

"I can't remember." Izuku said through clenched teeth. "I remember talking to a Villain and he said something, but after that... nothing. The next thing I remember, Mic Sensei and I were walking back here."

"IZUKU!" Inko yelled running up to him and smothered him in a bear hug. "Midnight came to our apartment and brought me here. What happened to your arm!"

"Let's get inside." Mic Sensei said.

The students, teachers, and parents made their way into the school. Izuku and Inko were taken to the Infirmary while the others were led to Principal Nedzu's office.

"Please come in." Principal Nedzu said. "Sit down, sit down. Tea?"

Everyone took a seat.

"Where's Jason?" Clara asked, ignoring Principal Nedzu's offer of tea.

"He is with Recovery Girl in the Infirmary." Aizawa said. "He needs to rest."

"What happened to Jason?" Raven asked. "Why isn't Sheila here?"

"I am afraid that Sheila Haywood is no longer with us." Nedzu bowed his head.

"WHAT!" The parents yelled in shock.

"What happened!" Raven yelled, tears streaming down her face. "Sheila's gone! Why is she gone! How is she gone!"

The other parents and students looked at Raven, they knew, or at least knew enough that Sheila and Raven were at least trying to be together.

"From what we know her body was put under a great deal of stress and her heart couldn't handle it." Aizawa said. "We could be wrong but won't know until we get the coroner's report."

"What happened?"

"Jason knows what happened." Midnight said. "And he's not in any condition to talk about it right now."

Raven, Iduna, and Clara got up. "Where is he." They said in unison. Tears of pain, rage, and sadness in Raven's eyes.

"Darkhölme." Aizawa said. "Take them to the infirmary, but don't let them overwhelm him."

"Right sensei." Rogue said getting up and leading their mothers to the Infirmary.

"What's going to happen to Jason?" Barton asked.

"We are taking measures to allow UA to gain custody of him." Nedzu said.

"We were friends with his mother though." Agnarr stated. "Shouldn't one of us get custody of him?"

"We are also taking steps to gain custody of Himiko and Eri-Chan. Both of them have problems trusting people. So far Himiko only trusts Jason, and one of the first things she asked was where Jason was. We cannot take the chance of separating them."

"What about letting them all come with one of us?" Barton asked.

"Do you have adequate room for them?" Aizawa asked.

"We do." Agnarr said. "We have extra rooms and could put them up."

"That's an option." Nedzu said. "But let us not get ahead of ourselves. We have contacted the UA lawyers, and they are already preparing a case for Young Haywood, Himiko, and Eri-Chan."

"Do you expect there to be trouble?"

"We have proof that someone is after Eri-Chan. Someone who is willing to kill to keep her."

"Are they the ones who killed Sheila?"

"We believe so."

"What's going to happen?"

"We are looking through our current options to see what we can do."

"And?"

"We are not at liberty to discuss that yet."

Agnarr and Barton rubbed their faces.

"How the hell did this go so wrong?" Barton asked.

"Jason's dad put a kill order on him." Johnny said.

"HE WHAT!" Barton and Agnarr yelled, rage ingrained in both words.

"Jason's dad is running for senate in the States and wanted to wipe the slate clean."

"He thinks that being divorced is a bigger scandal than murdering his wife and son!" Barton yelled.

"Apparently."

"What the hell! He's crazy."

"Yes." Elsa said. "Yes, he is."

Izuku and Inko walked into the Infirmary and saw Jason laying on a bed in the corner. Himiko was sitting next to Eri's bed watching Eri play with Olaf.

"Well, well, well." Recovery girl said. "What happened?"

"I'm not entirely sure. I blacked out for a bit."

"Let me take a look at it." Recovery Girl said.

Izuku walked over to Recovery Girl and let her look at his arm.

"Hm." Recovery Girl said. "It doesn't appear to be shattered, so that's good."

"What happened to it then?" Inko asked.

"He damaged his muscles and broke his arm. I'll need to take an X-Ray to be sure."

Recovery Girl took Izuku into a room with an X-Ray machine.

Inko waited while Izuku had X-Ray's taken of his arm.

When he was done, and Recovery Girl developed the X-Rays .

"You have hairline fractures all over your arm. You didn't break it, but you fractured it."

"That's good." Izuku said.

"NO!" Recovery Girl said hitting Izuku with her cane. "No, it's not good!"

"I meant its better than breaking my arm."

"In that case it is, but no. It is still not good."

"Okay. Can you heal my arm?"

"Yes, but don't do this again."

"I will try. I'm not excited for Jason to find out."

"Maybe he will knock some sense into you."

Izuku looked over at Jason's bed.

"Go lie down, and I will let you talk to Jason after I have healed you."

"Thank you." Izuku said walking to an empty bed and lying down.

Recovery Girl walked over to Izuku and Kissed his arm causing it to return to its regular color.

Izuku fell asleep as the drawback to Recovery Girls Quirk activated.

"He will be okay." She told Inko.

"Thank you. May I stay here?"

"I don't see why not."

"Thank you." Inko said looking around when she saw Jason look at his phone before calling someone.

Jason was lying in the Infirmary staring up at the ceiling. He was thinking about what his mom had told him before she... Jason blinked tears away. He was alone again. After ten or so years of a good life, he was alone again, not alone alone because he had friends, but he didn't have his mom, he didn't have Bruce. He was alone.

"Jason." Sheila said. "Call a friend of mine. Their number is (608)-666-6886. He will explain everything. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Jason thought about that before he decided to call the number. Maybe it would get his mind off of his asshole of a father. He dialed the number and called.

"You have reached my answering machine." A refined almost posh voice said. "Please leave your name and number after the tone and I will get back to you at the earliest convenience. Thank you." *Beep.*

"Hello. My name is Jason Haywood. My mom told me to call you and that you would explain everything. My mom is... she's... she died earlier today. I don't know what she meant but she said that you could tell me. So, call me back."

Jason put his phone down and looked over at the girl, who he'd been told was named Eri, and Himiko. There was a walking, talking snowman named Olaf who wanted a hug when he'd woken up in the infirmary. He'd rolled over on his side and thought about what had happened. He was looking around when Inko walked over to him.

"Jason?" She asked. "How are you doing?"

Jason sat up and bowed his head. "I can't believe she's gone." He said in a dead tone. "I keep expecting her to call or text, saying she's going to be late, or just leaving work. I keep kicking myself because..."

Inko hugged Jason. "Don't go there Jason." She spoke. "Your mother wouldn't want you thinking like that."

"I know, but what am I going to do? He only touched her! He killed her just by touching her! It's so simple but I couldn't stop it and she died because of it! Why was it her! Why wasn't it me!?! I have a Quirk that could have stopped him! Why didn't he touch me? WHY!?!"

Inko held Jason. "Shh. Shh." She Cooed. "Go ahead and cry."

Jason felt fear and sadness coming from Eri. He looked at her causing her to look away. "What's wrong Eri?" He asked pushing his own emotions aside for her sake.

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

"Sorry for what?"

"I ran away, and he hurt your mom."

Jason let go of Inko and dropped to one knee before looking at Eri. "Eri. That man was hurting you. You did the right thing by running away."

"But he broke your mom."

"Eri. You are five. Nothing is your fault. If he said that everything was your fault, then he was wrong."

Eri looked at Jason.

"Eri." Inko said. "Did the bad man tell you that everything was your fault?"

Eri nodded.

"Eri. The bad man was wrong. You are a good girl for running away from him."

"R-r-really?" Eri said her eye's filling with tears. No one had ever called her good before. In fact, no one had ever treated her like an actual person before.

Inko walked towards Eri, but she moved too fast and startled the girl.

Eri moved away from Inko.

"Oh. I'm sorry." Inko said. "Would you like a hug?"

"What's a hug?" Eri asked. She knew what they were, but her experiences had taught her that grown-ups were not always nice people.

Inko's eye's filled with tears and Jason clenched his fists in rage.

"Co-could I show you what a hug is?" Inko asked.

"Um." Eri looked at Jason, Himiko, and Recovery Girl.

Recovery Girl and Jason nodded.

"Um. O-okay." Eri said.

Inko dropped to a knee and held her arms out for Eri.

Eri tentatively walked up to Inko.

Inko slowly and deliberately moved her arms around Eri until she was hugging her.

Eri was startled by the gentle contact. What was this? This felt different then how she was used to being treated. It felt... nice.

Inko was surprised when she felt Eri return the hug.

Jason looked at Eri and wondered how anyone could even think about hurting someone like her, but he knew all too well that there were people out there who would be willing to kill newborn babies. He thought about a psychopath with pasty white skin and a sadistic laugh.

Himiko looked at Inko hugging Eri and felt jealous. No one had ever hugged her like that.

Jason felt Himiko's jealousy and looked at her. 'I'm responsible for her.' He thought before getting up and sitting next to her.

"Do you want a hug?" He whispered.

"What." She said startled by the question.

"Do you want a hug?" Jason asked again.

"No." Himiko said indignantly crossing her arms.

"Okay." Jason said going over to his bed.

Inko walked over to sit by Izuku's bed waiting for him to wake up.

The door opened and Raven walked in.

"Hey Jason." She spoke.

"Hi Raven." Jason said sounding hollow.

"How are you holding up?" She asked walking over to him.

"Fan-freaking-tastic."

"Hey." She said squatting down in front of him. "You are a strong kid. You have a good head on your shoulders."

"Thanks, but I keep seeing it play over in my head."

Raven hugged Jason. "I'm so sorry." She spoke.

Jason could feel turmoil roiling up inside Raven. He wasn't sure what it was, but Raven was in emotional agony over something. "What's wrong?" He asked.

Raven looked at him. Should she tell him the truth.

"Yes." Jason said. "You should tell me the truth."

Raven sighed and felt tears prick the corners of her eyes. "Jason. I don't know if your mom told you, but... We were seeing each other, romantically. Tuesday nights, we would go out. Sometimes it was to a bar, other times it was to a love hotel, other times it was just to a restaurant, but we went out on Tuesday's. We were developing feelings for each other, and it might have led to more. You and Rogue might have been step siblings one day."

Jason wanted to say some smart assed remark about how they were developing more than feelings if they were visiting love hotels, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. Instead he hugged Raven tightly. "If you made my mom happy I would have given you my blessing." He said.

They stayed like that for a while just sitting there. After a while Raven looked at Jason, a sad, soft smile on her face. "Iduna and Clara are outside. They want to come talk to you."

"Okay." Jason said.

Raven left the infirmary. "You can go in." She told Iduna. "Just..."

"I know." Iduna said walking into the Infirmary.

Jason looked up. "Hi Iduna."

"Hi Jason. I just wanted to check up on you."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. Do you need anything?"

"I don't know. For all I know I'll be staying here for the foreseeable future. If I don't get put into the foster system."

"That won't happen!" Iduna snapped. "Agnarr and I, as well as Barton and Clara, Raven, and Inko will fight so that one of us gets you... I mean..."

"I know, and I thank you."

"You're welcome. Are you sure that there is nothing we can do for you?"

"I'll let you know."

"Okay. Clara wants to talk to you."

"Okay."

Iduna left and sent Clara in.

Clara walked into the Infirmary and walked over to Jason. "Hey there."

"Hi Clara."

"There is nothing I can say to make it better. Just know that we are here for you."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. I'm sure Iduna and Raven already told you this, but if you need anything."

"They did but thank you."

"You're welcome, stay strong."

"I'll try."

"You will. I know it."

"Thanks."

Clara nodded and left.

Jason laid down on the bed and tried relaxing. He was just nodding off when he heard his phone ring.

"What?" He answered without looking at the caller I.D.

"Is this Jason Haywood?" The refined voice from the answering machine asked.

"Yes." He said bolting up startling everyone.

"Good. I need to talk to you. Can you get somewhere you can talk in private?"

"Yeah. Give me a second." Jason said leaving the Infirmary.

He walked past Rogue, Raven, Iduna, and Clara.

He walked to Class 1A and sat down. "Okay." He spoke.

"First allow me to give my condolences to your loss. I knew Sheila. Her loss is a tragedy."

"Thank you."

"How are you? Is there anything you need?"

"I'm... surviving."

"Good. If you need anything you can call me."

"Thank you, but can you tell me what my mom said you could explain?"

"Of course, of course. First off let me tell you that your mother has lied to you in order to protect you. She told you that your father and her were not involved due to your father's work. They were involved. In fact, it was your mother's job that kept them from having children at first."

"Wait. What do you mean?"

"Your mother was in medical school when your parents married. She agreed that they could have kids after she finished. You were born about a year after she finished."

"So, what happened?"

"When you were three there was an incident at the hospital."

"What happened?"

"Your mom was at the hospital when a young woman came in asking for an abortion. Your mother refused and the operation was given to a less experienced doctor... the young woman died."

"So?" Jason growled. "She was going to kill her unborn child... Unless she was raped."

"I don't know all of the details, but your mother was thrown under the bus. Your father told her to leave, and never come back. He was so disgusted by her that he told her to take you and leave."

"So, he abandoned her!"

"Yes. I'm afraid so."

"THAT BASTARD!"

"Please don't yell."

"So why did she decide to move to Japan?"

"I suggested it."

"Why would you help her?"

"I have my reasons. One of them being that I am your namesake."

"Your name is Jason too?"

"Yes. Hello Jason. My name is Jason Blood."

"So, I have your name and the bastard's last name?"

"I thought you said that your name was Jason Haywood."

"I changed it a few days ago because I thought he abandoned my mom."

"In a way he did."

"Yeah, but yesterday I found out that he has been sending out Villains in an attempt to kill me."

"He WHAT!"

"Yeah. He's put a bounty on my head."

"Is it because he's running for senate?"

"I think so. I have a friend who thinks he's doing it to wipe the slate clean."

"And murdering his son is less scandalous than admitting he's divorced!"

"Apparently."

"Jason. I am so sorry. If I had known that then I would have done something."

"I don't know if there was anything you could have done."

"I am sure there was something I could have done."

"What are you going to do now?"

"I will be in Japan shortly."

"What? Why?"

"I will explain when I get there."

"How long will it take you to get here?"

"I will catch the next flight out."

"Okay. I guess that I will see you then."

"Yes. I guess you shall."

Jason hung up and looked at the wall. He knew about Jason Blood in the other universe and knew that he was Etrigan. "Is he my biological father?" He asked shocked.

America

Jason Blood put his phone up and looked at the picture on his desk.

It had a man and woman with a little kid with black hair. "I'm so sorry Sheila." He spoke. "I should have gone with you."

He stood up and looked into a mirror. 'Some father I am.' He thought.

He bought a plane ticket for the next flight to Japan. 'I'm on my way Sheila. I'll take care of our son.'

Jason walked out of the classroom and back to the Infirmary on autopilot. When he got there, he saw Aizawa waiting for him.

"Aizawa Sensei?"

"Follow me Young Haywood."

Jason followed Aizawa through the halls until they got to a room.

"What are we doing here?"

"This is where you and young Himiko will be staying until we get this figured out."

"Oh. Thank you, Sensei."

"You're Welcome."

"Where will Eri be staying?"

"With you for now."

Jason's defenses rose up. "For now?"

"Yes. When we can I will be taking custody of her."

"Okay. So, you won't be giving her to an orphanage?"

"Absolutely not. She is unable to be sent to an orphanage. The only other option we have is to send her home with Midoriya and his mother. Whichever is the most logical."

"Thank you."

"You're Welcome. Have you eaten today?"

"No, I haven't."

"I will see if Lunch Rush can fix you something."

"Thank you, Sensei."

"It's my job to take care of you on School property." Aizawa said before leaving.

Jason walked in and saw Himiko sitting on the couch in the room, and Eri sleeping on the bed.

He closed the door and sat down in front of the door.

"They brought your bag here." Himiko said bringing Jason his bag.

Jason opened it up and pulled his laptop out.

He typed Jason Blood into the search engine of 'The Bat computer' but didn't find much.

Jason Blood was a historian studying medieval history, specifically the study of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

"What are you looking up?" Himiko asked.

"Someone my mom knew."

"Oh. Find anything good?"

"He teaches Medieval History."

"That's boring."

"It was a fairly bloody time period."

"I can't drink that blood. So, I'm not interested."

"Okay. Then I found nothing interesting on him."

"What's his Quirk?"

"He doesn't have one listed."

"So, is he Quirk-less?"

"It doesn't say if he is or isn't."

"Okay."

They sat on the floor and Jason brought up his Classmates files.

"What are these?" Himiko asked.

"These are files on my classmates."

"How did you get them?"

"I have my ways. I'm specifically looking at one in particular."

"Which one?"

"This pervert." He said pointing at Minoru Mineta.

"He looks annoying."

"He is, and he's a pervert."

"Can I cut him?"

"Let's hold off on that." Jason said as he began looking for everything on Mineta.

He found everything that dated back to elementary school.

"Looks like he started being a perv back in middle school which means just after he hit puberty."

"So what?"

"It means that once his hormones took over, he gave them control and hasn't looked back."

"Creepy perv."

"Yeah. It looks like several girls complained in middle school, but he always got away with a slap on the wrist."

"Can we stab him now?"

"Not yet. Wait until Monday. We can show Nedzu what we know, get him expelled, and then you can stab him."

"Okay." Himiko said with a dangerous gleam in her eye.

"Only once." Jason rephrased.

"Oh. You're no fun."

There was a knock on the door, and it began to open.

Jason and Himiko moved out of the way and to the feet drawing their knives.

"Oh my." Lunch Rush and Nedzu said in unison.

"Sorry." Jason said making his knife disappear.

Himiko slowly put her knife away but kept her hand close so she could grab it if she needed to.

"We are sorry to startle you." Nedzu said.

"Sorry Principal Nedzu." Jason said with a bow. "Just a little on edge."

"I don't blame you Young Haywood." Nedzu said. "You have certainly had an interesting weekend."

"That's one way to put it."

"I have news."

"What is it?"

"The UA's Lawyers have gotten in contact with your mothers' lawyer and found her last Will and Testament."

"Really? What did it say?"

"The Lawyer will be here on Monday to read the will."

"I see. Thank you."

"You are very welcome. In the meantime, eat. Lunch Rush has made an excellent meal for you three."

"Thank you, Lunch Rush."

"It was my pleasure. I have made white rice, Katsudon, Curry, Onigiri, Udon, Yakisoba, Shogayaki, and Miso Soup."

"I'm sorry Sensei, but we won't be able to eat all of that."

"Oh." Nedzu said. "Did Shota not tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"All of your friends and their families have been put up here until we figure out this predicament."

"No. Aizawa Sensei didn't tell me that."

"I see. Well, you and your friends will be staying here until we can figure this predicament out."

"What about their jobs? Agnarr and Iduna are CEO's of a company, Clara and Barton run a mechanics shop, and Raven is a fashion model."

"I understand your concern, and measures have been taken to ensure their safety at work."

"What are they?"

"We have asked the police to escort them to and from work on the days that they work."

"Okay. Why not Heroes?"

"Police are Heroes in their own right. They just wear a uniform instead of a costume."

"I see. Thank you." He spoke.

"You are most welcome." Nedzu said. "Now. Tuck in."

Jason and Himiko took what they wanted and made a plate with a little bit of everything for Eri when she woke up.

"Himiko." Nedzu said. "Recovery Girl asked me to give you this." He handed her a blood pack. "Recovery Girl will be regulating your blood intake from now on and said that you can have one with every meal, and an artificial blood pack for snacks."

Himiko dropped her plate, and Jason caught it. "Wait. You mean that I can have blood on a regular basis now?" Himiko asked as tears started to form in her eyes.

"Yes..."

Nedzu was cut off as Himiko hugged him tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She shouted.

"You are very welcome." Nedzu said with a sad smile.

After Himiko put Nedzu down, he and Lunch Rush left to the other students.

Jason put some animé on his laptop and He and Himiko sat down in front of it and ate dinner.

While they were eating Eri began having a nightmare.

Jason moved over to her and tried calming her down, but her Quirk activated and hit Jason.

Himiko watched as Jason began screaming as Eri's Quirk did something to him.

"Hi-Himi-Himiko!" Jason yelled through the pain. "Go... get... help!"

Himiko ran to the door and called for help.

Jason felt like he was being undone. 'Her Quirk probably lets her rewind things or undo them. Something like that. So, if I hurt myself then she will undo the damage, and not me.' He created a knife, but it was undone. 'No. I can create things, and she will undo them.'

He began creating everything he could think of and Eri kept unmaking them.

Himiko kept yelling for help, and Rogue came flying into the room, and the others were waiting outside.

"What's wrong sugar?"

Himiko pointed at Eri, and Jason.

Rogue went over to the bed. Jason looked like he was in pain, and Eri was having a panic attack. She touched Eri and took her Quirk causing it to shut off.

Jason fell to his knees panting heavily.

Eri was laying on the bed crying.

"Hey there sugar." Rogue said picking Jason up and sitting him on the couch. "Want to tell me what happened?"

Jason was panting and trying to catch his breath.

Rogue went over to Eri and knelt down. She started running her fingers through Eri's hair. "Hey there sugar. How are you doing?"

Eri curled in on herself and started crying.

Rogue touched Eri's head with an exposed finger and saw what Eri had seen.

A man with a surgical mask was looking down at her, and he touched her before she exploded in pain. When she came back, she was still in pain, and her Quirk activated.

Rogue was terrified by the memory. So, she could only imagine how scared this little girl was.

"What happened?" Someone asked.

Rogue looked up to see Aizawa Sensei. "We need to talk." She said grabbing Aizawa and pulling him outside the room.

"What is it Darkhölme?"

"That little girl was ripped apart and put back together on a regular basis! She is terrified, and the last thing she needs is people yelling at her for not being able to control her Quirk!"

"Darkhölme!" Aizawa said sharply. "I never said anything about yelling at her for not being able to control her Quirk."

"Sorry Aizawa Sensei."

"Can you tell me anything about her Quirk."

"Yeah. I took it for a few hours. It will slowly wear off and she will have it back."

"What is it?"

"It's the ability to rewind."

"So, she can basically rewind a person back to an embryo?"

"Theoretically yes."

"That is a terrifying power. We need to help her control it."

"I agree, but we also have to be gentle."

"Do you think she should sleep in the same room as Jason and Himiko tonight?"

"Yes. They are the ones who rescued her, so they are the ones she seems to be most comfortable with."

"Very well."

"One of us can stay in there with them in case it happens again."

"You can."

Rogue nodded and went back in, and Aizawa went to talk to Nedzu.

When Rogue went back into the room, she saw Jason rubbing Eri's back while she held a plate of food.

"You can eat, Eri." Jason said.

"I don't want to go to sleep."

"You don't have to go to sleep. You can eat."

"But If I eat, I'll go to sleep."

Jason and Rogue came to the same conclusion. 'Sedatives.' They thought in unison.

"What if I eat a bite first?" Jason asked. "Will you eat if I eat a bite first?"

Eri shrugged.

Jason used his fork and took a bite from everything on Eri's plate.

They waited thirty minutes, and when nothing happened Eri began eating.

Himiko had been quietly waiting in a corner of the room drinking her blood pack. She had seen Aizawa Sensei usher everyone away before talking to Rogue. She was impressed.

"Hey Eri." Jason said. "Do you want to watch T.V.?"

"What?" Eri asked.

"Cartoons? Do you want to watch cartoons?"

"I don't know."

Jason pulled up cartoons and pressed play.

Eri watched the animated characters talking about what they were going to do that day and ask where their pet was.

"Eri?" Jason asked. "Can Himiko sit with you?"

Eri shrugged.

Himiko sat next to Eri and watched the cartoon about kids building a roller coaster through their city. While Jason and Rogue walked outside.

"They sedated her!" Jason whispered harshly.

"That's not all." Rogue said.

"What's up guy's?" Johnny asked walking up.

They were joined by Anna, Elsa, and Izuku.

"Eri was tortured." Rogue whispered loud enough for them to hear.

"What!" Johnny whispered harshly. "Where are these guys? I'm going to Penance Stare the hell out of them."

Izuku clenched his fists in anger. "I'm with Johnny on this."

Everyone looked at Izuku.

"What?" He asked.

"How do I put this?" Johnny said.

"If you were a food." Anna interrupted. "You would be a Cinnamon roll!"

Everyone, including Elsa looked at Anna.

"What?" Rogue asked.

"He's a Cinnamon roll." Anna reiterated. He's sweet with a little bite to him."

"Is that your other life talking?" Jason asked.

"Guys!" She spoke. "That's not important. What is important is that Izuku is not meant to be this ball of angst. He's supposed to be cute and cuddly, and him and Ochako are meant to be together!"

Izuku blushed crimson red at that.

"Wait, wait, wait." Rogue said. "Are you shipping us?"

"Maybe. I have Izuku and Ochako, Jason and Tsu, Johnny and Mina, You and Denki, and Elsa and Todoroki."

If they thought Izuku couldn't go even more red, they were wrong. Izuku's face went even more bright red, and the others began protesting.

"Let's get back on topic here." Jason snapped his fingers silencing everyone. "We need to help Eri."

"We need to get her to smile." Anna said.

"Good luck with that." Rogue said.

"Too bad that there isn't some way that we can put on a show that would guarantee her smile." Elsa said.

"The only thing we can do is try." Jason said.

Principal Nedzu's office.

Principal Nedzu watched as his students made plans to help Eri-Chan smile.

It brought a smile to his face.

'They are good kids.' He thought.

OMAKE: Midnight made her way to the Martin's house by calling in a favor from a Hero with a teleporting Quirk. She made it there before them and waited to make sure that they got home safe. What was this feeling she had that something was wrong? She only had to wait a few minutes before Johnny pulled up. He asked if their parents were home, and Anna and Elsa said that they should be.

Johnny watched them go in and began driving off.

Midnight let out a sigh of relief but was cut off as Johnny was kicked off his bike.

Johnny activated his Quirk and was about to fight when he looked behind him.

Midnight looked towards Anna and Elsa's house to see two more villains break the door down."

"You bastard!" Johnny yelled.

"Blaze!" Midnight yelled at him. "You have permission to use your Quirk. I'll take care of Anna and Elsa!" She said before running towards the house.

Johnny said something but Midnight didn't hear it.

She ran in and saw Anna and Elsa standing in front of their parents protectively.

"Hey assholes!" She yelled.

The villains turned to her.

"Don't you want me?" She asked folding her arms under her bust, pushing it up.

The villains looked at her. "I guess we could have some fun before taking these girls hostage." One of the Villains said licking his lips.

'That's right.' Midnight thought. 'GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY STUDENTS!'

The villains came up to Midnight who rolled up her sleeves and activated her Quirk knocking them out.

"Anna! Elsa! Freeze them!"

"Torrential Downpour!" Anna yelled soaking the villains from head to toe.

"Arctic Blast!" Elsa yelled freezing the villains from the neck down.

"Combo move: Arctic Downpour!" The two yelled in unison.

Johnny came running in a few minutes later. "Anna! Elsa! Midnight sensei!" He yelled.

"We're in here!" Anna yelled back.

Johnny walked in and saw two villains frozen in ice. "Nicely done."

"Thanks. Midnight Sensei helped us."

"Thank you, Midnight Sensei." Johnny said with a nod.

"You're welcome." Midnight said. "Take Anna, Elsa, and their parents to UA. You have full permission to use your Quirk."

"Right. Let's go." Johnny said.

Anna, Elsa, and their parents ran outside.

Midnight looked at the Villains and called the police.

While she was waiting, she called Midoriya San.

"Hello?" Inko asked.

"Is this Midoriya Inko?"

"Yes. Who is this?"

"This is Midnight Sensei from UA. I am Izuku's art teacher."

"Oh my. Has Izuku done something wrong?"

"No, no, but I need you to get ready to go. Something has come up and I need to take you to UA."

"O-okay."

"Thank you. I hope everything will be explained soon."

"You're welcome. Good-bye."

"Good-bye." Midnight said hanging up. "Now I just have to wait for the police."

Sunday

The man walked into the Tokyo Airport and went through security before grabbing his bag and leaving. He went and paid for a car and drove off towards Musutafu. 'I'm on my way Jason, but first.' He stopped at a diner for breakfast. He walked in and sat down at the counter.

"What will it be?" The waitress asked.

He ordered a coffee with eggs, bacon, and toast. When he finished, he used his coffee to draw a magical circle, and put his coffee in the middle of the circle. "Ostende mihi Jason Haywood." (Show me Jason Haywood.) His coffee swirled around and showed Jason sleeping on a couch with a little girl sleeping on his chest. 'Did Sheila remarry, or adopt?'

The image distorted and showed UA High School. 'Okay. What defenses does it have?' The image showed a wall that would rise up when someone without a school I.D. tried to enter. 'Really? A wall? As if I haven't had to breech a wall before.'

He looked at the coffee cup again. "Ostende mihi Willis Todd" (Show me Willis Todd.) The coffee swirled showing the diner he was sitting in. It swirled again to show a man sitting in the corner. He got up and walked over to the man. "Excuse me." He spoke. "Are you Willis Todd?"

"Yes I am." The man said looking up at him.

"Almost sixteen years ago you had a child. This weekend you sent people after him with the intent to kill him."

Willis Todd smiled a smile that said. 'You can't prove that.' "I'm sorry. My family is back in the states. My first-born child is a girl." He took a long sip of coffee.

The man glared at Willis. "You may think you are safe, but I assure you. You are the farthest thing from safe. As good as it would feel to end you right now, I will save that honor for Jason. Ending your putrid existence will be an excellent form of catharsis for him."

Willis smiled a smile that said. "I'd like to see him try."

"Just so you know." The man said. "My name is Jason Blood. Remember that name."

"Okay?" Willis asked. "Is that some sort of threat?"

"No. A promise." Jason Blood said, turning around and leaving.

He got into his car and drove off. 'I'm on my way Jason.'

Jason woke up on the couch with a weight on his chest. He looked up and saw Eri laying on his chest. He didn't want to wake her, so he stayed quiet.

"Aww." Rogue cooed taking a picture of him with Eri on his chest.

"Enjoy it while you can." Jason smirked.

"Oh, I plan to." Rogue said taking more pictures from different angles.

Jason let her have her fun because he wanted to let Eri sleep.

Himiko got up a short while later and was jealous of Eri.

"What's wrong Himiko?" Jason asked.

"Nothing." Himiko lied. "I'm hungry."

"Come on sugar." Rogue said. "We'll go to the cafeteria to see if Lunch Rush is cookin' yet."

Himiko looked at Rogue before looking at Jason.

"You can trust her." Jason said.

Himiko walked behind Rogue to make sure she wouldn't try anything, and they went to the cafeteria.

"Hello girls." Lunch Rush said. "Hungry?"

"Yes." Rogue said.

"Excellent." Lunch Rush said. "Sit down. I'll bring you your breakfast. Himiko. Recovery Girl brought me a blood pack for you."

"Really?!" Himiko perked up. The thought of Jason's blood exciting her.

"Yes."

Himiko sat down ready to eat.

Lunch Rush brought out two bowls of white rice with fruit and steamed vegetables. "Enjoy."

Himiko looked at the food and started eating, though not as fast as Rogue thought she would.

"What's wrong sugar? You not hungry?"

"Not what I was expecting." Himiko said around a mouthful of food. "Jason made me eggs, bacon, and toast for my first meal."

"Oh. Yeah. We are used to different foods. Jason likes American food for breakfast. So, he eats Bacon and eggs a lot."

"Oh."

"Yeah. It's not exactly a traditional Japanese breakfast."

"Oh well. At least I have Jason's blood." Himiko said taking a sip of the blood. Her eyes went wide, and she swirled the blood around her mouth tasting the crimson liquid.

"Hey hon." Rogue said. "Are you okay?"

Himiko swallowed and made a noise that made Rogue blush.

"What happened sugar? I've never heard anything like that except in a bedroom."

Himiko had to catch her breath before she could speak. "I don't know whose blood that was, but it was amazing." She shuddered in delight again. "Whose blood was that?"

Rogue looked at the blood bag and saw a name tag on it. 'Midoriya, Izuku' "Oh no."

"Whose name is on it?" Himiko asked looking over her shoulder.

"Oh. It's um... no one."

Himiko grabbed the blood and looked at the name. "Ooh. My little Izuku. I'm going to go find him and thank him for the blood." She spoke.

"He's probably not even up yet." Rogue suggested. "So why not go get ready for the day and meet Izuku later."

"Okay." Himiko said getting up and holding the wall as she stumbled out.

Rogue got up and left the cafeteria to find Izuku. When she found him, he was getting back from running around the campus. "Izuku!" She yelled. "Did you donate blood to Himiko's blood bank, or whatever Jason's calling it?"

"Yeah. She was talking about Jason giving her blood, and I asked if I could help, and she said yes."

"You don't know what you did by doing that."

"What do you..."

"IZUKUUU!" Himiko yelled jumping at him and swinging around his neck before hugging him. "Thank you for the blood." She spoke. "It was delicious. I didn't know you were so good." She said licking his neck.

"Uh, uh, uh, um." Izuku said blushing brightly. "What?"

"Your blood was good. Jason's blood is sweet and tart, but your blood is sweet and tangy, and so good. You made me..."

"Let's not go there." Rogue said pushing Izuku and Himiko away from each other before Himiko could tear all of Izuku's innocence away. "Izuku has to go get ready for the day too Himiko."

"I understand. I'll talk to you later Izuku."

"Uh, uh, uh, um. What just happened?" Izuku asked.

"It looks like Ochako has some competition." Rogue smirked.

Izuku blushed and headed for his room to get ready for the day.

Jason Blood stood outside UA. He walked toward the courtyard. When the wall came up to block his entrance, he took out a knife and made an incision in his hand and drew a magic circle on the wall. "Dona mihi ostium." (Grant me entrance.) A portal appeared in the wall, and he walked through. "Child's play." He said before taking out the napkin from the diner, and watched it point in the direction of his son.

Jason woke up when Eri climbed off of him. "Sleep well?" He asked her.

"Uh huh." Eri said.

"Want to get breakfast?"

"Uh huh."

"Let's go." Jason said getting up and stretching, popping his back.

They left the room, and Eri grabbed Jason's hand. They walked to the cafeteria and sat down.

"Good morning." Lunch Rush said. "Breakfast?" He asked.

"Yes, please sensei." Jason said.

Lunch Rush came back with two bowls of white rice, fruit, and steamed vegetables.

"Thank you Sensei." Jason said with a bow before taking a bite of his food.

Eri watched Jason.

After half an hour Jason handed Eri his food and took hers. They ate in silence and when they were finished, they walked towards the training area. They got there and found Izuku training. "Hey." Jason said. "What's going on?"

"I'm training. I need to train my fire breathing."

"I think I might be able to help." A refined voice said.

"Blood San?" Jason asked.

"Yes. However, you may call me Jason or... I'm not entirely sure how to say this, but..."

"You're my biological father?" Jason asked.

"Yes." Jason Blood said. "How did you know?"

"You're my namesake. My mom told me to call you. Willis Todd's Quirk is that he can power up another person's Quirk, my mom's Quirk was healing, and mine is Hellfire Creation. If yours doesn't have something to do with hellfire, then I have a mutation." Jason ticked the signs off on his finger. "So, what's your Quirk."

"Allow me to show you." Jason Blood said.

"Change, Change! O form of man!

Free the Prince forever damned!

Free the might from fleshy mire!

Boil the blood in the heart for fire!

Gone! Gone! the form of man.

And raise the Demon Etrigan!"

Jason blood was surrounded by fire and emerged as the Demon Etrigan.

Eri hid behind Jason's leg while Jason stood his ground, and Izuku went into super fanboy mode, after seeing such a unique Quirk.

"Wh-wh-wh-what!" Izuku yelled, pulling his notebook out of his waistband and writing down all the information he saw. "What is your Quirk? Do you have to recite that poem to activate it? What powers do you get with that form? What..."

"Silence Child!" Etrigan snapped. "Jason Blood will explain everything so long as you keep your passions bridled."

"Begone, Begone, O Etrigan

and rise once more the form of man."

Jason Blood was back and brushed some lint from his jacket. "I assume you have questions."

"So many questions! "What is your Quirk? Do you have to recite that poem to activate it? What powers do you get with that form?"

Jason Blood had come up with a story to hide his Curse and claim it was a Quirk. "My Quirk is unusual. I must recite the poem to change and revert. As for my powers... you might want to get comfortable."

Izuku looked up at Jason Blood with wide eye's that Jason Haywood hadn't seen in a long time. Someone was actually taking the time to answer his questions, and he was enjoying every second of it.

"My Quirk offers me a long list of abilities. These include: Superhuman strength, speed, agility, endurance, etc. Heightened senses, A rapid healing factor, Flame manipulation, Precognition, Telepathy, and I am able to produce Hellfire.

Izuku wrote everything down at rapid speed. "I've never heard of a single Quirk offering so many abilities."

"There is one other ability that I have that explains why I have an abundance of abilities, but I ask that you not write it down, or anything else that I'm about to tell you."

"Okay."

"Another ability my Quirk allows me is Immortality."

"WHAT!" Izuku yelled.

"Hey." Jason said. "You're scaring Eri."

"Oh. Sorry, but didn't you hear?" Izuku whispered. "But didn't you hear? He's Immortal."

"I am not the only one who is immortal. There are others."

"WHAT! IMMORTALITY IS A QUIRK!"

"No. There are people in the world who are immortal. Immortals are the ones who started Quirks."

"Wait! What!"

"Yes. Immortals are the ones who created Quirks. After years of reproduction, the genes of their descendants eventually mutated, and Quirks were created."

Izuku began muttering and the world distorted around him.

"Is that normal?" Jason Blood asked.

"For Izuku." Jason Haywood said. "I have some questions."

"You want to know how your mother and I met."

"Amongst other things."

"It was many years ago when we met, almost sixteen years. We met one night when your mother and Willis were having a disagreement. He was working a lot and she wanted to start a family, but he was constantly working."

"Wait! That was true?"

"Yes. Willis was constantly working and said that he couldn't think about having a family at that moment. When your mother and I met it was in a bar on her night off and we started talking."

"And I'm guessing that one thing led to another, and one night you guys got a little too friendly and it resulted in me."

"That's a crude way of putting it, but yes. Your mother and I started seeing each other more and more frequently, and we did eventually..."

"Let's skip the part where you guys had sex or made love or whatever."

"Very well. We continued to see each other until she became pregnant. After that we decided to stay in contact, but not see each other. We also decided that you should take Willis's last name."

"And look how that turned out." Jason snarked.

"Yes. I am sorry about that. If we had known that Willis was capable of doing that then you would have taken Sheila's last name."

"Not that it would have saved her." Jason said sadly.

"What do you mean?"

"She died because a villain who was chasing Eri here made her explode before pulling her back together. The running theory is that her body couldn't handle the strain."

"I'm sorry. No child should have to live without their mother."

"Or their father."

Jason Blood rubbed the back of his neck. "I know. I'm a terrible father."

"At least you didn't send Villains to kill me."

"But I wasn't there for you and your mother. Do you know why you and your mother left?"

"You said she got fired."

"Yes and no. Willis Todd became involved in something that scared Sheila. She was planning on leaving him. That is until the incident at the hospital happened."

"I see.

"Jason. Your mother valued life. All life. Every person from the oldest person on earth to the smallest child in the womb. She would have quit if they had made her perform that abortion."

"So, she was a good person..."

They were interrupted by a skeletal fist connecting with Jason Blood's face.

"Johnny!?" Jason asked. "What the hell is wrong with you!"

Johnny had woken up that morning and went about his daily routine.

He ate breakfast, showered, and went to work on his bike.

Anna and Elsa decided to join him and watched him work. While they watched he showed them how certain things worked.

He was wiping his bike down when he felt something he hadn't felt in a long time.

The hunger for vengeance.

True he made sure to let the Rider out whenever he could, but they had come to terms years ago that they would only punish the truly wicked and not the guy who stole candy from the candy store or something small like that.

This, however. This felt like an old evil.

Johnny tried fighting to keep the Rider under control, but the urge was explosive.

"Johnny?" Anna asked. "What's wrong?"

"G. Ge. Get JASON!" Johnny yelled before the Rider erupted from his body.

Anna and Elsa whipped out their phones and called Jason, but he wasn't answering.

They ran to try and find him.

Johnny followed the stench of evil to the courtyard where he saw Eri, Jason, Izuku, and some guy he'd never seen before, but the evil was coming from him, and he lashed out punching the man.

Jason said something that he didn't catch because he was already moving again.

"Gone, gone, the form of man. Release the Demon... Etrigan!" The man said before he was replaced by a demonic looking man.

"You... guilty." The Rider said pointing at the demon.

"You know not what you have done." The demon said.

The Rider ran at the demon and punched him making him roll away. The demon got up and belched fire at the Rider. The Rider walked through the flames and grabbed the demon by the mouth and lifted him up.

Jason, Izuku, and Eri were watching in horror as their friend, and Jason's biological father fought.

"We have to stop them." Izuku said.

"Izuku." Jason said. "Hurry and get someone. I don't care who it is. We can't leave Eri alone if we are going to try stopping them."

"Right." Izuku said running off.

Jason watched, trying to think of a way to stop them without hitting them and startling Eri more than she already was.

"I am here!" Yagi Toshinori said running out with Izuku.

"All Might. Can you bulk up to stop them?"

"I cannot right now young Haywood."

"You're out of time already!"

"Sadly yes. I was on my way back from Might Tower this morning to prepare for tomorrow. I stopped to help citizens in need and talk to the press. I am sorry Young Haywood."

"It's not your fault All Might. You didn't realize that Johnny would lose his shit. Can you stay with Eri while Izuku and I handle this?"

"Yes."

"Thank you." Jason said suiting up while Izuku pumped eighteen percent of One for All into his body.

The two ran off and All Might looked down at Eri.

"Hello." He spoke.

Eri looked up at the man and felt an odd mix of fear and safety standing next to him.

That was ruined when he coughed up blood and sent her into a panic attack causing her Quirk to activate.

Jason and Izuku ran at the two people who were fighting and jumped at them.

The Rider used his chain whip to grab Etrigan and use him like a weapon against them. Jason and Izuku became tangled in the chain and thrown to the floor with Etrigan pinning them to the floor. The air was pushed from their lungs causing them to gasp for air. Etrigan tried moving off them, but the Rider grabbed him.

Johnny walked over to the trio and grabbed Etrigan. "Your soul is stained with the blood of the innocent..."

Etrigan belched fire into his face, knocking him away. He loosened the chains, so he didn't hurt Jason Bloods son, and ran at the Rider.

Jason caught his breath quickly and helped Izuku up and looked at them. "Izuku. We need to think up something Quick."

"We could use water." Izuku suggested.

"We don't have any water." Jason huffed.

"Combo move: Arctic Downpour!" Anna and Elsa yelled in unison flash freezing Johnny and Etrigan.

The fire from the Rider cracked and shattered the ice sending it everywhere.

"This is enough you two!" Aizawa and Rogue yelled in unison, Aizawa cancelling their Quirks and Rogue flying them into the sky.

"Are you two going to settle down or do I have to drop you?" Rogue asked.

"Do you really think this will be my first time falling?" Etrigan asked bitterly.

Rogue dropped Etrigan. "I don't know you, and I don't know how you got in here, but you better start talkin'.

"He's, my dad!" Jason yelled.

"Well. In that case." Rogue said pulling her arm out to punch Etrigan.

"Not Willis Todd!" Jason reiterated. "My biological dad."

"Excuse me sugar, but did I hear you say that Willis Todd wasn't your biological father?"

"Yes. We can talk about it inside. Let me get Eri and..." They looked over at Eri and saw her and All Might passed out.

"What the hell happened!" He yelled.

"Eri-Chans Quirk Activated." Aizawa said. "I erased her Quirk and called Recovery Girl."

"Want to explain what's going on?" Rogue asked Jason.

"It's so convoluted it's not even funny."

"We've got time hon." Rogue said in an 'I am one hundred and ten percent done.' Tone, she reserved for special occasions.

"Fine." Jason said sitting next to Eri. "Willis Todd was a bastard even before I was born."

"He told my mom that they could start a family after she finished medical school, but when she finished, he told her that he couldn't stop what he was doing in order to start a family."

"Ass hole." Johnny said after reverting back from Ghost Rider.

"That's when my mom met him." Jason nodded over at Jason Blood.

Jason Blood nodded at them.

"After they met it went about how you think it went and it resulted in me."

"So, wait." Rogue said. "You and Jason's mama cheated on his daddy, and let him think that Jason was his son effectively puttin' a target on his back?"

"That is one way of looking at it I suppose." Jason Blood said.

"And you guys thought that was okay?"

"At the time yes."

"What is wrong with you?"

"I saw a woman who was sad and miserable and made her life less miserable."

"Until you made it more miserable."

"You are quite intuitive, aren't you?"

"You better believe it, and I can kick your ass seven ways from Sunday!"

"Stop yelling." Recovery Girl said coming into the Courtyard. "You are too loud."

She began looking over Eri and Toshinori. "I think Eri-chan will be okay. She's just exhausted, but I need to get Toshinori to the Infirmary."

The group moved Eri into her, Jason, and Himiko's room with Anna and Elsa before they went to talk to Principal Nedzu.

"Oh." Principal Nedzu said. "You are Young Haywood's guardian?"

"Yes sir. I am his biological father through an affair with his mother."

"And are you the one who sent the Villains after him and his friends?" Nedzu asked dangerously.

"No. I am not, but I plan to use everything at my disposal to keep Jason and his friends safe..."

"How so?"

"I wish to train them too. I know that I don't look it, but I am rather skilled in multiple areas."

"Would you care to elaborate?"

"To name a few I can teach them self-defense, how to make the most of their Quirks, teach them how to communicate with each other in multiple languages so they can talk out in the open and not be afraid of giving away secrets, disappear in a crowd, and how to think strategically, tactically, and analytically to name a few."

"I see, and how did you get past our perimeter defenses?"

"Please. A wall? If the Great Wall of China can be breached, then so can yours."

"I see. It looks like we will have to upgrade our security."

"I would recommend adding panels that will shock anyone who is not allowed access, and perhaps adding panels along the top that when active will be able to create a dome to keep intruders from breaching from above."

"Thank you for your suggestions. I will talk to Power Loader about that."

"I would like permission to gain custody of Jason."

"I am sorry, but there are laws we must abide by. You must have proof that you are young Haywood's father, there must be proof you can care for him, you must have proof that you are a capable guardian..."

"I assure you that I can. I will give a blood sample to test against Jason's, I can give you bank statements proving I am capable of caring for him..."

Nedzu's phone rang interrupting the conversation.

"Yes..." Nedzu began but was interrupted by a call from Recovery Girl.

"Nedzu! I just finished checking Toshinori."

"What did you find?"

"His lungs are completely healed! The damage done to his lungs is gone!"

"What!" Nedzu exclaimed.

"Yes. Toshinori's lungs are completely healed. I can't explain it unless... Eri-Chan!"

"Her Quirk rewinds or undoes things." Jason said. "It's completely possible that she was unable to undo the damage done by whatever caused the damage in the first place."

"Wait!" Izuku yelled. "What does this mean about his Hero career?"

"I'd say that it just got upgraded." Johnny said leaning up against the wall with his arms crossed. "What I want to know is why Zarathos went bat shit crazy over Jason's dad."

"Possibly because Etrigan is an ancient demon who kills?"

"No, no, no, no. This urge that I got was powerful, VERY powerful. It didn't just want to kill you. It wanted to annihilate you. I only get those for really evil souls."

"Etrigan loves killing people. He lives to fight. He is a Sadomasochist"

Johnny looked at him. "I wonder if it has anything to do with the last few days."

"Perhaps." Nedzu said. "You have been in rather stressful conditions since Wednesday. All that stress building up. It had to be released somehow."

"Yeah." Rogue said. "If it wasn't for the fact that Johnny and Jason's dad nearly killed each other..."

"We wouldn't have killed each other." Johnny said. "I don't know about Jason's dad, but I can hold my own."

"I'm afraid that Etrigan has survived worse than a flaming skeleton."

"Seriously?" Rogue asked. "Jason's dad and best friend are having a dick measuring contest?"

The two stopped bickering.

"Thank you. Now. Can we please get back on track?"

"If we knew where the track was." Jason said. "I know everything, and I'm still confused."

"Perhaps we can talk about this tomorrow." Nedzu suggested. "This week has been stressful, and I think rest is in order. Mr. Blood. Would you stay and talk to me for a while?"

"Of course."

Everyone but Nedzu and Jason Blood left.

"Mr. Blood." Nedzu began. "I am responsible for Young Haywood's well-being until a proper guardian can be found. He just lost his mother and wants nothing more than to find the man responsible and make him pay for taking her from him. This is both an amazing time to be young and a terrible time to be young. All the wonderful emotions humans go through thanks to their hormones, such as love, joy, and hope. As well as all of the negative emotions you go through, such as pain, rejection, and loss. I want to ask that if you do become Young Haywood's Guardian that you do not encourage him to go after Willis Todd or the man who murdered his mother."

"Thank you for your concern." Jason Blood said bowing. "I will not encourage him from taking revenge. I do have a question though."

"Oh, and what is that?"

"Willis Todd is still at large. If he is in Japan still, and Jason runs into him..."

"I see your point, and it is valid. Do you have your Hero License?"

"No. I never saw the need to get it."

"Hm." Nedzu hummed putting his paw under his chin. "Would you be willing to get one so you can protect Young Haywood?"

"Yes. If it were to protect Jason, I would."

"Work on getting your Hero License, as well as your Teaching License."

"I am a professor of Arthurian History."

"Ah. Excellent, excellent. You might be getting a job offer for UA next semester."

"Really?"

"Yes. Though please don't tell Jason."

"Of course."

"Thank you. If you could get all of the information we need so you can take custody of Young Haywood as soon as possible..."

"Of course."

"Thank you."

Jason Blood stood up and left the office.

"So?" Rogue asked. "What do you guys want to do?"

Izuku began muttering about something.

"Hey Izuku." Rogue said. "Are you okay?"

"I was just thinking. If Eri was able to rewind All Might's injuries, then could she rewind his injuries completely?"

"No way." Jason said. "She was in a lot of pain yesterday when she had a panic attack. I felt her pain. She needs to learn how to control her Quirk better."

"What if Rogue uses her Quirk, and borrows Eri's Quirk to try it?"

"I suppose I could try." Rogue said.

"Jason?" Izuku asked.

"So long as Eri doesn't get hurt you can try and heal All Might completely."

"Let's go." Rogue said.

They went to Jason's, Eri's, and Himiko's room.

Eri was watching Cartoons with Anna and Elsa.

"Hey Eri." Rogue said. "Could I borrow your Quirk?"

Eri moved away from Rogue.

"I'm sorry." Rogue said.

"You can trust her." Anna said. "Jason wouldn't let her hurt you."

"Are you sure?" Eri asked.

"Yes."

"Okay." Eri said tentatively reaching out towards Rogue.

Rogue touched Eri's hand and borrowed her Quirk.

"I'll be back." Rogue said.

Izuku left with Rogue.

"So." Jason asked. "What are you guy's watching?"

"We are watching 'My Little Pony'." Anna said. "Eri can't be scared by ponies."

Jason sat down and started watching with them. "So, what's this about?"

"Friendship." Anna said.

"It's about how the power of friendship can overcome anything."

"Really?" Jason asked skeptically.

"Yeah." Anna said. "I mean we've proved that. Look at everything we've done as friends. We got Izuku into UA. We helped him get his Quirk. We stopped Bakugo from beating him up. We stopped him from jumping off the roof that onetime Bakugo told him to jump off and wish for a Quirk in the next life. He helped you pull your head out of your butt that one time. I mean the list goes on, and on."

"I suppose so, but what does..." Jason watched the Show for a minute. "... did you say that Bakugo told Izuku to jump off a roof and hope for a Quirk in the next life?"

"Yes. Weren't you... oh? No. You weren't and we decided not to tell you because..." She covered Eri's ears. "... we didn't want you to rip his arms and legs off before lighting him on fire."

Anna removed her hands from Eri's ears.

"And why didn't Rogue or Johnny step in?" Jason asked through gritted teeth.

"Rogue went home early because of her period and Johnny got sent home for punching a teacher who called Izuku an abomination."

Jason took out his phone and started hacking into Aldera junior high before finding the list of teachers. "Who was it?" he asked in a forced calm tone.

Anna looked at the list and pointed at their math teacher.

Jason left the room, called the teachers home phone, and waited.

"Hello." A woman said on the other end.

"Hello." Jason said in a false calm voice. "Is Yamamoto sensei home? I had a question about the assignment."

"I'll go get him."

"Thank you." Jason said before creating a respirator.

"Hello." Yamamoto Sensei said. "Who is this?"

"I know how you treat Quirk-less students!" Jason snarled into the phone. "I know your every move! If you call Quirk-less students abominations again I will rip your heart out and burn it to ashes, but I will do the same to your wife before I kill you so you can suffer longer! Am I UNDERSTOOD!"

"Y-y-yes!" Yamamoto sensei sobbed into the phone. "Please. Just leave us alone!"

"So long as you stop treating Quirk-less students like they are Abominations, I will not bother you any longer."

"Thank you!" Yamamoto sensei sobbed.

"Goodbye." Jason said closing the connection before walking back into the room.

"Did you really have to say all that stuff?" Anna glared at Jason.

"I got results."

"You probably terrified him."

"Oh. I'm sorry that I stopped a bigot from belittling Quirk-less students or students with weaker Quirks."

"Wasn't there another way of stopping him?"

"What world are you living in?" Jason asked harshly. "We live in a world where people without Quirks or weak Quirks are considered less than others. We live in a world where the strong think they can hurt a little girl because they are powerful!" Jason pointed at Eri. "We live in a world wheRE A WOMAN IS KILLED BECAUSE HER SON HATED HER BECAUSE SHE TRIED TO BE A MOM, AND HER HUSBAND TRIES KILLING THEM FOR POWER! WHY WOULDN'T I WANT TO CHANGE THAT WORLD!"

Anna was looking up at Jason with tears rolling down her cheeks and Elsa was holding a crying Eri.

"Oh shit!" Jason said. "I'm so..."

"Leave!" Anna yelled. "Just get out of here! Leave!"

Jason threw open the door and ran as fast as he could. He needed to get out of here.

Izuku and Rogue went to the Infirmary.

"Could we see All Might?" Izuku asked.

"He's resting right now." Recovery Girl said.

"Well." Rogue said. "We were hopin' that you'd let us try something."

"What is it?" Recovery Girl asked suspiciously.

"I borrowed Eri's Quirk and was hoping that you'd let me see if I could completely rewind All Might's injures."

"Hm. You are getting dangerously close to experimentation."

"No, no. Nothing like that. We just want to try and help All Might. If it works, then he will be completely healed."

"And if not?"

"I'm not sure."

"I have a friend who has X-Ray vision. Let me call him and if he can come over then yes, but if at any point he tells you to stop, you will stop."

"Of course."

Recovery Girl made the call and looked back.

"He will be here in an hour."

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me yet."

"Why can't you use whatever machine you used to find out that his lungs were back?" Izuku asked.

Recovery Girl hit Izuku in the head. "Because it can't be used during an operation, only afterwards."

"Oh. Okay." Izuku said rubbing his head.

"Yes."

They were waiting for about twenty minutes before Anna called them in tears.

"Whoa, Whoa. Anna." Rogue asked. "What's wrong?"

"Jason found out about Yamamoto Sensei, and he called him, and threatened him, but I called him on it, and he yelled at me, and I told him to go away, and he did! I'm not sure where he is now!"

Rogue groaned. 'Damn it, Jason. Why'd you have to take out your anger on Anna?'

"He tried apologizing, but I told him to leave and now I don't know where he is."

"I'll go find him." Izuku said, leaving the infirmary.

"Be careful. Jason is grieving so we don't know what he'll do."

"I will." Izuku replied.

"Poor child." Recovery Girl said. "I can't blame him for lashing out, but he lashed out at his friends."

"I know what you mean." Rogue said. "I wish we could help him."

"All you can do is be there for him."

Johnny was working on his bike but was stuck in his own thoughts. 'Hey. We need to talk.'

'I agree.'

'What were you thinking fighting Jason's dad?'

'Do you have any idea how long it's been since we have gone hunting?'

'Fifteen years?'

'Fifteen years. Every day I can feel the innocent's of this world begging to be avenged, but no. You keep saying that we can't, but then you go and call on my power and use me. Make up your mind.'

'I've killed multiple people for you. Aren't you satisfied with that?'

'No. There are evils in this world that need taken care of, granted you did convince me that a toddler running around killing people was a bad idea, but you are fifteen now. You are certainly old enough to go hunting, and yet you rely on my power for trivial matters. If we do not go hunting soon, I will take over and go hunt the wicked.'

'Fine, can you wait a little while longer? At least until I get my hero license, so I don't get in trouble.'

'Fine, but we are going hunting tonight.'

'Not tonight.'

'WHAT! WHY THE HELL NOT!'

'First off. Could you be any louder? And second. It's Sunday. We can go hunting on Weekdays.'

'You are really beginning to test my patience.'

'Just remember our deal.'

'Yes, yes. I can only kill the truly evil. The murderers, rapists, serial offenders, etc. I remember."

'Good. We can go hunting tomorrow.'

'THANK YOU! I've been waiting forever! Is this what Christmas feels like?'

'I guess. If you are feeling a sense of anticipation.'

'I am.'

'Then yeah. That's what Christmas feels like.'

"I like it."

Jason ran towards Dagoba beach and didn't stop until he got there. When he got there, he fell to his knees, and began panting until he caught his breath. He looked out at the ocean and felt angry at himself. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid!' He scolded himself. 'That was Anna, Elsa, and Eri! How could you yell at them! You idiot!' He was so busy yelling at himself that he didn't feel the overwhelming malicious intent coming towards him.

"Hey!" A guy said. "Toss over your wallet and we won't hurt you."

"Screw you." Jason flipped them off as he started pacing.

"Ooh, hoo. Tough guy. You won't be so tough when we are through with you."

One guy ran at Jason and punched him in the face knocking Jason down.

Jason got up and wiped his jaw. 'It feels like I got hit by a...' He ducked under the next punch and grabbed the guys arm, activating his armor and burning the guy's clothes, and skin.

"Ow, ow, ow!" The guy said.

"Do you guys really want to do this?" Jason asked when he suited up. "Because I'm really not in the mood to hold back, and you guys will probably die."

"Tough guy thinks that since he has his armor Quirk that he's safe." The guy in charge said. "But he's not. You should have just given us your wallet."

Jason created a crowbar and smacked it into his hand. "Come and take it." He snarled.

The others looked at their leader.

"Get him!" He yelled.

Four guys ran at Jason while one tried to stop the burning in his arm and the leader stood back and watched.

One guy hardened his hands into brass and punched at Jason.

Jason ducked and swung the crowbar at the guy and hit him hard enough to break some ribs and throw him to the side.

Another guy brought hands that were chainsaws down on Jason, but Jason's armor super-heated the saw blades and melted them.

"MY HANDS!" The guy yelled. "YOU MELTED MY HANDS!"

"Shut up!" Jason yelled slamming the crowbar into the guys neck breaking the collar bone.

The guy shrieked in agony.

The third guy grabbed Jason in a ball of water and began freezing the water.

Inside the water bubble Jason began pumping his rage into the armor, super heating it and boiling the water making it evaporate.

He grabbed the guy by the neck and lifted him up before throwing him into the floor leaving him screaming in silent agony because Jason had burned the flesh from his neck.

Jason looked at the fourth guy. "What can you do that might actually stop me?"

The guy created fire. "You can't burn me Ass hole."

"No, but I can still beat the shit out of you!" Jason said stalking towards the guy.

The guy hit Jason with a fire ball sending him flying backwards. "I've got you beaten." He said creating a flaming Katana. "Now. let me take your head!"

Jason hit the guy in the kneecap breaking his leg. "What part of 'beat the shit out of you' didn't you understand?"

The guy stabbed at Jason, but Jason caught his arm and broke it. "How many bones will I have to break before you get it?"

The first guy walked up to Jason and bulked up before punching him and sent him flying.

"Your Quirk may give you the ultimate defense, but mine gives me the ultimate offense. I can bulk up my body, and enhance my strength tenfold, but thanks to some guy's Quirk I was able to get an upgrade. Now I can create sonic blasts that send people flying."

"HEY!" Izuku yelled jumping at the guy. "I don't know who you are..." He kicked the guy with One for All twenty percent sending him stumbling backwards. "...but leave Jason alone!"

The guy wiped his face. "Good try kid, but not good enough."

The guy went flying when Jason punched him. "If you're going to be overconfident in your abilities, make sure you are that good."

"Jason." Izuku said. "Let's get out of here."

"Not yet. I have to finish this."

"No. Why do you have to finish this?"

"To let off some steam."

"No! Anna told me what happened! It's not your fault! They don't blame you for the outburst! Now come on!"

There was a sonic blast and Izuku was sent flying.

Jason created a grapple and shot it at Izuku wrapping itself around his ankle.

The guy punched Jason creating a sonic blast.

When Jason didn't move the guy looked at him in confusion.

Jason created a crowbar and slammed it into the guy's head dropping the guy.

Jason retracted the grapple and pulled Izuku towards him. When he pulled Izuku back to him he made the cable disappear leaving a burn on Izuku's ankle.

"Shit." He swore. "I'm sorry." He made his armor disappear and picked Izuku up before he walked towards UA.

When they arrived back at the school Jason took Izuku to the Infirmary.

"What happened?" Recovery Girl asked.

"I screwed up. I went on a rampage, and if I had stopped when Izuku told me to then he wouldn't have gotten hurt."

"What happened to his leg?"

"He was thrown by a guy's Quirk, and I caught him with a hellfire grapple."

Recovery Girl looked at Izuku's ankle.

"I can heal him, but you need to be more careful."

"I know." Jason said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Maybe you should talk to Jean." Recovery Girl suggested.

"Maybe. I'll think about it."

"Go get some sleep."

"Okay." He said before he went to his room.

When he got there, he saw Anna and Elsa sitting with Eri.

"Anna..." Jason began.

Anna walked up to Jason and glared up at him before hugging him. "Don't do that again." She said into his chest.

"I won't yell at you again." He said hugging her.

"Yeah. Please don't. You can yell at the people who deserve it, but not us. Also don't run away like a drama queen again. Elsa's enough drama queen for all of us."

"Hey!" Elsa complained.

"Come watch My Little Pony with us." Anna said, dragging Jason over to the couch.

The friends and Eri watched My Little Pony until they fell asleep.

Toshinori woke up in the Infirmary. "What happened?" He asked.

"How do you feel Toshinori?" Recovery Girl asked.

"I feel different, but I can't put my finger on it."

"How does your wound feel?"

Toshinori grabbed his side but didn't feel the scar.

He pulled his shirt up but didn't see the swirl scar that was normally on his left side. "What happened?"

"Eri-Chans Quirk allows her to rewind an objects physical status. She rewound the damage to your lungs, and Rogue borrowed her Quirk to finish the process."

"What does this mean about my time for One for All?"

"How long did you have before today?"

"About two hours."

"I'd say that this could have doubled your time. So, you could have between four and five hours now."

"WHAT!" Toshinori yelled.

"Congratulations."

Toshinori bulked up and didn't feel pain from the change.

"How do you feel Toshinori?"

"I'm... All Might!" He yelled, punning with his own name.

Recovery Girl hit Toshinori with her cane. "No puns!"

"Ow." Toshinori whined rubbing his head.

"Don't complain Toshinori. Everyone knows that you can bench press an Ocean Liner with one hand tied behind your back. A simple cane to the head won't hurt you."

"Well yes, but it still hurt."

"Don't you have a class to prepare for?"

"YES!" He said running out of the Infirmary.

Recovery Girl looked over at Izuku. "Please don't turn out too much like Toshinori." She sighed.

Chapter Text

AN: Beta Read by Brawn1984 and Starrmastrr

AN: I do not own the characters used in this fic.

Mineta woke up on Monday morning feeling depressed. He took a shower, ate breakfast, and got dressed before leaving for school. 'Stupid Jason.' He thought to himself. 'It's his fault that I have to take this class. The girls at school should be happy if someone is happy to see them. No one would like them otherwise.' He was pulled out of his thoughts by a woman selling flowers.

"Hello dear. Why are you sad? Did you lose someone or are you just depressed?"

Mineta thought about that for a second. "Yes ma'am." He said sweetly. "Could I have some flowers?"

"Of course, dear. What type of flowers would you like?"

Mineta paid for the flowers and ran to school. 'This will show Jason not to mess with me.' He thought.

Jason woke up, showered, and got dressed. School uniforms had been provided for him, Himiko, and his friends. He and Himiko got dressed in their uniforms and a UA gym uniform small enough for Eri was found. After they got dressed, they went to the cafeteria and had breakfast.

Jason made sure to check Eri's food before they ate.

Himiko was given a blood pack. She swirled the blood around her tongue and tasted it.

"Something wrong?" Jason asked.

"No. It's just different. It has a savory flavor." She looked at the name and saw. 'Rogue' on the label. "I'll have to thank Rogue."

They finished breakfast and went to talk to principal Nezu.

"Ah. Young Haywood, young Himiko, Eri-Chan. Come in, come in."

They went into Principal Nezu's office.

"Sit down. Tea?"

"I'm good." Jason said.

"I didn't ask if you were." Nedzu joked. "I asked if you wanted tea."

"No thank you." Jason replied.

"No." Himiko said.

Eri hid behind Jason and Himiko.

"What can I help you with?" Nedzu asked.

Jason took his laptop out of his bag and turned it on before showing Nedzu what they'd found.

Nedzu looked at Jason before taking out his phone and calling Aizawa.

"Shota. Come to my office please."

"I hope we do not have to expel Mineta, but we may have no choice."

The door opened and Aizawa sensei walked into the office.

"Thank you for coming Shota. Please come in and close the door."

Aizawa walked in and closed the door.

Iida had gone to the restroom before class and found the door open when he came back. 'I am sure that I closed the door when I left, he thought.' He looked into the room and saw Mineta putting something on a desk, Jason's desk to be precise. 'What is Mineta doing?' He thought. His thoughts were interrupted when his phone rang. He answered it. "Hello." He spoke. "You have reached Tenya Iida. How May I help you?"

"Tenya." Tensei Iida said on the other end. "You forgot your homework."

"WHAT! I need that! I..."

"Tenya!" Tensei yelled. "I'm on my way, meet me outside."

"Thank you Tensei. You are an amazing brother. I do not deserve you as my brother."

"Okay drama Queen. Just meet me outside. I'll be there soon."

"I will meet you outside." Iida said before walking outside to meet his brother.

Anna, Elsa, Johnny, Midoriya, and Rogue walked into class 1A with the rest of their classmates. They stopped when they noticed everyone else standing, looking at the class.

"What happened?" Anna asked.

The group moved to the front of the crowd and stopped when they saw Jason's desk.

"Did Jason die over the weekend!" Mina yelled.

"No." Elsa said meekly.

"This is my last day of freedom!" Mineta yelled not seeming to care about the current situation. "This is my final act as a free man!" There was the sound of fabric tearing and Anna shrieked in horror.

Elsa clamped her hands into fists and the classroom froze freezing Mineta in place.

The class moved away from Mineta and saw him with two of his purple orbs in hand, the remains of Anna's uniform stuck to the orbs.

Elsa looked over to see Anna wearing Johnny's blazer and being held by Rogue.

Johnny had his chain in hand and threw it at Mineta to keep him from moving, as moot as that was.

Elsa froze Mineta from the feet up and glared frozen death at him, wishing that she had the resolve to take another's life, just this once.

Principal Nedzu, Aizawa sensei, Eri, Himiko, and Jason were walking through the halls towards class 1A.

"Are you certain that there is nothing we can do?" Principal Nedzu asked.

"No," Aizawa said. "I thought that I saw something in him, and so decided not to expel him."

"Wait," Jason said. "You weren't joking? You were actually going to expel someone?"

"Yes. It's better to crush their hopes than send them out into the world where they will hurt themselves or others."

"I suppose that makes sense."

"It was a logical decision."

They got to Class 1A and tried opening the door to find it locked.

"That's not normal," Aizawa said.

Jason kicked the door shattering it.

"Neither is that."

They walked in and saw the entire classroom frozen with Mineta frozen in the middle. A quick scan of the room gave Aizawa, Jason, Nedzu, and Himiko all the information they needed. Mineta standing frozen in the center of class with two purple orbs with fabric stuck to them. Anna with Johnny's blazer covering her, Rogue holding a crying Anna, Johnny with his chain wrapped around Mineta with ice coating both Mineta and the Chain, Johnny smoking from the exposed portions of his skin, Elsa fighting with some decision, the class frozen in horror, rage, and disgust.

"What happened!" Aizawa demanded harshly.

"Mineta tried rippin' Anna's clothes off!" Rogue yelled.

Jason looked over to see Rogue holding Anna who was wrapped in Johnny's blazer.

Johnny was smoking from his neck up and his hands.

Elsa was livid and debating whether she should go to Anna or finish off Mineta.

Mineta knew he was in trouble, but his eyes grew wide in horror when he heard ice sizzle and begin cracking.

He looked over to see Jason walking towards him with his armor moving up his body from the feet up, and the ice was flash cracking with each step.

When Jason got to him, he looked at Mineta, his armor finished materializing with his helmet wrapping around his head leaving two triangular eye slots glaring at him, as if looking into his very soul. "Why did you do it?" Jason asked in a 'I am one hundred and ten percent done' tone.

"Mineta! Did you put those Red Spider Lilies on Jason's desk?" Iida asked.

Everyone looked at Jason's desk and saw Red Spider Lilies on his desk. The flowers a great distraction, and the lesser of two evils at the moment.

Nedzu and Aizawa looked from Jason's desk to Mineta to Iida.

"Iida-Kun," Nedzu said. "Why do you think Mineta put those in Jason's desk?"

"I saw him around Jason's desk this morning, but I had to run outside because I forgot my homework at home this morning and my brother brought it to me, and when I came back, I saw this, and the only thing out of place were those flowers."

Aizawa glared at Mineta. "You're expelled." He said in a dangerously low tone.

"Come with me young Mineta." Nedzu said in a stern tone. He had learned how to hide his emotions years ago, but this seriously trying his patience. "Young Martin. Please release Mineta."

Elsa looked at Mineta and tried thawing him but couldn't bring herself to, the harder she tried, the colder the ice got until she'd created permafrost.

Jason touched Mineta and thawed him.

Mineta jumped away from Jason and ran towards Nedzu.

As Nedzu walked Mineta to the Principals office Aizawa walked over to Jason's table and picked the Red Spider Lilies up. "Haywood. Do not take what Mineta did seriously." He threw them into the garbage bin before placing the garbage bin outside the classroom.

"I won't Sensei."

"Why were those flowers a bad thing?" Eri asked meekly and softly. "I thought flowers were a good thing?"

"Mineta was saying that he wishes I were dead." Jason explained.

"I don't want you to die!" Eri yelled before breaking down into hysterical sobs and unintelligible words. She didn't want Jason to die. Jason had saved her. If Jason was dead then she would still be with the bad man.

Anna, Elsa, Johnny, and Rogue glared from Jason to the hallway. Rogue picked Eri up and floated around the class trying to calm her fears, go so far as to hum and sing.

Jason could feel their killing intent. After what Jason went through this weekend, the last thing he needed was that.

"Martin." Aizawa said. "Thaw the classroom."

Elsa tried to thaw the room, but her emotions were so out of control that she couldn't, and she ended up creating an eve more dense layer of ice, causing her classmates to shiver and Tsu to fall asleep.

"Martin. Take your sister to the Infirmary and call your parents to bring a new outfit for her. Haywood. You and Blaze thaw the ice. We have a lot to discuss today."

Jason heated his armor up, and Johnny became the Rider. Jason walked through the left side of the class melting the ice. Johnny was struggling to keep Zarathos in line, but Zarathos wanted to make Mineta pay for doing that to Anna.

When the room was thawed, they opened the windows, and Momo created towels to dry the chairs and tables off.

After they finished, they sat down.

Jason tossed Momo a Granola bar from his bag. "Here you go."

"Thank you." She spoke.

Jason nodded, and knelt next to Tsu and let her absorb his heat, She woke up slowly and groggily.

"Jason?" She asked groggily.

"Yeah. It's me. Just take it easy." He said.

Tsu struggled to get up, but managed it eventually, and sat in her desk. Jason handed her a protein bar and an energy drink from his bag. "Eat and drink. Then take a twenty minute nap. You should be fine after that."

"Thank you Jason." She said, nibbling on the protein bar, and sipping the energy drink.

"I have a few announcements." Aizawa said, noticing Jason's actions, but not mentioning them. "First off I want to announce that the sports Festival will be here next month. You need to prepare to do your best."

"I'm going to crush everyone!" Bakugo yelled.

"Only until Midori crushes you." Mina said.

"DID YOU SAY SOMETHING RACOON EYES!"

Jason walked over to Bakugo's desk from Tsu's desk.

"What are you goi..." Bakugo began.

Jason threw Bakugo's desk with Bakugo in it. "Shut the hell up. This weekend was complete shit, and I don't need to deal with yours!"

Bakugo got up and began creating explosions.

Izuku jumped in front of Jason. "Bakugo! Stop it! I won't let you do this."

"AND WHO'S GOING TO STOP ME SHITTY DEKU!?! YOU!"

Aizawa glared at them activating his Quirk. "Sit down!"

Jason and Izuku sat down.

Bakugo glared at Jason and Deku.

"I said sit down Bakugo!" Aizawa said again. "If you make me repeat myself then I will send you to the Principles office and have you removed from Heroics! You are still on thin ice from the Hero Training the other day!"

Bakugo picked up his desk and sat down.

"Now. Like I said. You need to prepare for the sports Festival. You have a month. The second item of business is that there will be Heroes watching the sports Festival. You will be given internships after the sports Festival. You will want to impress them because you will only have three chances to get an internship. The internships will give you a step up in the Hero industry. Do well and you will be one step closer to becoming Heroes. Third. This is Himiko Toga. She will be joining our class shortly. That is all. Go and train."

Jason got up and left the classroom. He was walking towards the Support classroom when he was joined by his friends.

"Want to talk about it hon?" Rogue asked.

"How am I going to be the Hero my mom wanted me to be if I fly off the handle like I did Sunday?"

"You have us." Himiko said practically hanging off Izuku's arm, causing the boy to blush. "You helped me when no one else would. You already are a Hero. Just keep doing that, and you will be the best Hero ever."

"What are you guys talking about?" Elsa asked walking up to them with Anna walking beside her silently."

"Jason's worried that he won't be a good Hero." Rogue said.

"What!" Anna said. "You're going to be a great Hero."

"Even after I yelled at you?"

"You were stressed out. You just lost your mother, and had your world turned upside down. It's not your fault."

"I wish I could believe you."

"Where are you going?"

"The support classroom."

"What are you going to do there?"

"I'm going to get some gear made."

"Like what?" Anna asked as they walked into the Support classroom as an explosion went off.

Jason held everyone back.

"Sorry." A blond-haired kid said running up to them. "You'll have to forgive Hat...su...mé." He slowed down when he saw them. "A-Anna?" He asked.

"K-Kristoff?" Anna replied.

Kristoff nodded, and Anna ran at him and hugged him with a passionate hug before Anna stepped up on her tiptoes and the two kissed.

"WHAT!" All but Elsa yelled. They tried taking a step forward, but Elsa created a wall of ice in between them and Anna.

"Elsa!" Jason yelled. "What the hell!"

"No!" Elsa said sharply, startling them. "Let Anna have this. Then she can explain."

There was a knock on the ice and Elsa brought the wall down.

"Thank you, Elsa." Anna said. "Everyone. I would like to introduce you to my husband."

"From the alternate universe?" Jason asked.

"Oh yeah. I forgot to add that. Sorry."

"Well, whatever you do." Rogue said walking up to Kristoff and poking him in the stomach. "Don't think you can hurt Anna."

"You don't have to worry about him." Anna said. "You have to worry about Hans."

Jason felt anger roll off Kristoff and Elsa at the mention of the name. "Is this the guy who tried killing you and Elsa?" He asked.

"Yeah. I punched him in the face though."

"I'm sorry." Kristoff said. "I haven't introduced myself. My name is Kristoff. Kristoff Bjorgman."

Jason shook Kristoff's outstretched hand and felt the strength ripple under his grip.

"My name is Jason Haywood. This is Johnny Blaze, Anna Marie "Rogue" Darkhölme, Izuku Midoriya, and you already know Anna and Elsa."

"I do. It's nice to meet you all."

"Kristoff?" Izuku asked. "What is your Quirk?"

"Oh. My Quirk is..." he glowed a soft blue before a reindeer appeared beside him.

"SVEN!" Anna and Elsa yelled hugging the reindeer.

Sven began prancing around then.

"My Quirk manifested when I was four and it was the ability to summon Sven. So, I named it reindeer. It's not very useful except in Support. So, I decided to become a support hero, and help people with ice-based Quirks, and in icy terrains since I know my way around ice."

"That's awesome!" Anna said. "My Quirk is this." She said creating a globe off water.

"I call it Drizzle. It allows me to pull the water molecules from the air and control them."

"What's Elsa's?"

"It's my ice magic." Elsa said. "I call it Cold Front."

"Nice. Now that I know you guys are here, I'll work on making you some gear that will help enhance your Quirks."

"Did I hear someone say they want to make babies?" A bubbly voice asked from another room.

Everyone but Kristoff was caught off guard.

"Hatsumé no." Kristoff complained.

"Hatsumé yes!" The girl called Hatsumé yelled coming in.

"Now. Who's here to make babies with me and Kristoff?"

Izuku went beet red, and everyone shuddered at her boldness.

"I'm sorry for Hatsumé." Kristoff said. "Her "babies", are gear and inventions."

"Oh." The others said thankful for the clarification.

"Yes. What do you need us to build?"

"Are you ready for a challenge?" Jason asked stepping forward.

"Challenge accepted, just so long as you don't mind explosions."

"That sounds fun." Anna said.

Hatsumé ran at Anna with a tape measure that appeared out of nowhere and began measuring Anna. Hatsumé looked at Anna with stars in her eyes. "She's perfect! Will you be my sister!" she yelled, grabbing Anna's hands.

"Sure!" Anna yelled. "The more sister's the better!"

"But-but-but." Elsa stammered. "I'm Anna's sister." She whined.

"Well now we have another one." Anna said proudly.

"Now." Hatsumé said to Jason. "What babies do you want me to make?"

Jason took out his phone and opened his hidden app to the armor, gear, and gadgets before showing her.

Hatsumé looked at the gear before looking up at Jason, and back to the gear.

"MARRY ME!" She yelled practically drooling.

Jason was caught off guard. "What!" He yelled.

"No one, and I mean no one, has ever designed this much gear before, who wasn't a Hero. You make me feel all tingly inside showing me this. Challenge accepted!" She yelled. "Can I have a copy of this?"

"Only so long as no one else I haven't approved sees the plans. I don't see why not."

Hatsumé squealed and hugged Jason. "Thank you!" She yelled.

Jason sent Hatsumé a copy of his gear, and she started taking measurements for his suits.

When they were done, she got to work.

They stayed and chatted with Kristoff and Hatsumé, though Kristoff was the more talkative one currently, until the bell rang for lunch.

They headed towards the lunchroom when they saw a blue boy who had a pointed tail, pointed ears, and walked on legs that were inversed.

"Kurt?" Rogue asked.

The guy turned around.

"Rogue?" He asked.

The guy, Kurt, teleported to Rogue and they hugged each other.

"Oh my gosh it's great to see you!" Rogue said.

"Und you as vell." Kurt said.

"How do you guys know each other?" Anna asked.

"Before you get ahead of yourself hon." Rogue interrupted. "This is my step half-brother Kurt."

"Ja." Kurt said. "ve share a Mozer, but different fazers. Alzough Rogue vas adopted by my Mozer after she abandoned me."

"In the alternate universe I hope." Jason said.

"Ja. My Mozer and Fazer in zis universe are amazing. My Mozer is Raven Wagner und my Fazer is Azazel Wagner. I have my Fazer's Quirk und my Mozer's skin tone."

"Want to come hang with us?" Rogue asked.

"Sank you."

They were in line to get their lunches when someone bumped into Jason.

Jason looked down and saw a zoned out, and bruised Tsu.

Tsuyu was walking to the cafeteria after using the restroom, she needed to splash some water on her face to wake up the rest of the way after her premature hibernation this morning. She had told Mina, Jiro, and Momo to go on without her, and to save her a seat. She was thinking to herself about how Jason had defended Mina this morning, not paying attention to where she was going, when she bumped into someone. "I'm sorry. Kero," She said.

"Oh. You think you can bump into us, and get away with it?" The first student asked her.

"No. I was just lost in thought, and didn't see you? Kero." she said truthfully.

"Oh. You think that you can do whatever you want because you are a firsty?" The second guy asked.

"No. As I said. I was walking to lunch and didn't see you. Kero, kero."

"You disgust me." The first guy said. "Do you know what I do to things that disgust me?"

Tsu didn't like where this was going. "Um, no. Kero."

He grabbed her by her jacket and punched her in the stomach.

Tsuyu kicked the guy hard enough to send him flying away. "I don't want to fight you. Kero. But I will if I have to."

The air became bitter cold, and Tsu fell to the floor due to the rapid temperature change. "S-s-so cold." She shivered.

Both boys took the chance to hit her a few times before leaving.

Tsu laid there wondering why no one seemed to notice her, or them. Was it a Quirk? She kept thinking back to the USJ, and how Jason was so determined to save them. If he were here, would he have helped her? When she felt like she wasn't going to fall into another premature hibernation, she got up and began walking on auto pilot, using the wall for support. She could only think about Jason's determination, and how much warmth his Quirk produced.

The next thing she knew was someone tilting her chin up and seeing Jason's face. Everything came back into focus when she saw Jason's eyes. They seemed to care so much, and yet were filled with hatred that wasn't directed at her. He wiped some blood away from her lip. When did she start bleeding?

"Who did this to you?" he asked in a quiet, tense tone.

She could feel his anger rolling off him, and his Quirk activated giving off heat. She drank in his heat, fighting off the hibernation. "I don't know. Kero. They called me a firsty though. So, they are a second or third year."

Jason took out his phone and used his facial recognition to find Tsu.

She was leaving the restroom, looking down, and she bumped into two guys.

Jason searched for them and found them on the far end of the cafeteria.

"Rogue." Jason said.

"Right." Rogue said taking Tsu. "Come on hon. You can sit with us."

"Okay. Kero."

Jason walked over to the far end of the cafeteria trying to restrain his Quirk with every fiber of his being. He walked over to the two boys sitting at a table with their friends. "Are you second year Asuka Saito, and second year Haruka Okada?" he asked looking at his phone.

"Are you stalking us?" Haruka said.

"Haruka Okada. Quirk: Flash Freeze. You can freeze anything for a split-second causing people to get weak, and woozy making them easy targets for Asuka Saito. Quirk: veil. You can make sure no one sees you or your friends, or victims."

"I think he is stalking us." Asuka said his eye's glowing silver. "You think coming over here was a tough move?" He asked getting up. "Veil does so much more than that. While Veil is active no one, and I mean no one. Can get in or out."

"Then there's no reason for me to hold back!" Jason snarled.

Haruka tried to flash freeze Jason only for it to not work.

"You hurt one of my classmates earlier." Jason growled. "She is susceptible to the cold, and already entered a premature hibernation once this morning!"

"Was she that frog bitch?" Asuka asked.

Jason felt rage engulf him, but this rage was something different. Instead of being typical rage this was more... primal. Like the need to protect. "DON'T... call her that."

"Why? What are you going to do? Frog bitch couldn't stop us..."

Asuka was cut off as Jason rammed his knee into his gut. "I told you... not to call her... that." Jason wheezed in rage, the desire to protect was so strong that he couldn't breathe.

The veil shrouding them flickered and disappeared showing the students Jason with his knee in Asuka's gut, and Asuka coughing up blood.

"I don't know how you did that..." Haruka began only to be interrupted as Jason's foot connected with his kneecap breaking his leg.

"If I've learned one thing." Jason said. "It's that joints are excellent places to attack someone."

The rest of their friends surrounded Jason. "You asked for it." One of the friends said.

"No." Jason said. "They asked for it when they attacked my classmate and friend."

The friends looked at each other before looking at the two.

"Are you serious!" One of them said. "You attacked another student?"

"This has happened before?" Jason asked, at the inflection.

"Yeah." The kid said. "Twice. They will be expelled for this."

Jason cracked his neck and knuckles. He grabbed the two and dragged them to the table his friends were sitting at.

"Tsu. These two ass holes have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Tsu asked.

"We-we'r-we're so-sorr-sorry." Asuka said through wheezing breaths.

"Yeah." Haruka gasped through his pain. "We're sorry."

"Thank you for apologizing." Tsu said.

Jason dragged the two boys to Principal Nedzu's office.

When he got too principal Nedzu's office he was met by Nedzu.

"Ah. Young Haywood. I've been expecting you."

"Did you watch the fight?"

"I did."

""Then you know what happened."

"I do."

Jason dropped them. "Can I leave now?"

"Yes, but could you come back to my office after classes?"

"Yes."

"Thank you."

With that Jason walked back to the cafeteria. When he got back to the cafeteria he walked to the table with his friends and grabbed Tsu's hand. "Let's get you to Recovery Girl." he said softly. He ignored the looks the other students were giving them.

"Thank you." Tsu said.

"You're welcome." He said as they walked towards the Infirmary.

"Is he always like that?" Kristoff asked when Jason and Tsu were gone.

"No." Anna said. "I mean he's always capable of that level of violence, but he's been through a lot lately."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"He reminds me of Logan." Kurt said.

"Kinda, yeah." Rogue said.

"Fighting on school grounds except in the designated fighting area's is prohibited." Iida said. "However, Considering the circumstances..."

"Give Jason a break." Izuku said.

Everyone looked at Izuku in shock.

"Midoriya!" Iida began. "What happened this weekend?"

"It's not our place to say." Elsa said. "If Jason wants to tell you then he can, but we can't invade his privacy."

"I understand." Iida said.

Jason stayed with Tsu until Recovery Girl healed her.

"Disgraceful." Recovery Girl said. "Why Nedzu didn't expel those boys after their first offense is beyond me."

"I wouldn't know." Jason said. "Principal Nedzu seems to see the best in everyone. No matter how big it is."

"Yes. One of his double-edged traits."

Recovery Girl looked at Tsu. "You will be tired for a while. So, have some of these." She handed Tsu some gummies. "Don't eat them all at once."

"Thank you." Tsu said eating a red gummy.

"Do you need to rest?"

"No thank you."

"Do you need anything Young Haywood?"

"I think I need to talk to Black San."

"I'll call her."

"Thank you."

"Are you okay? Kero."

"You'll find out eventually. It might as well be now."

"Okay."

Jean came into the Infirmary a few minutes later. "Is everything, all right?" She asked.

"I need to talk to you." Jason said.

Jean sat down. "Go ahead. Are you sure that you want Tsu here?"

"She's going to find out eventually. It might as well be now."

"Okay. You can start now."

"Okay. I don't know where to begin. I have all these emotions and I'm not sure how to feel."

"Jason. You lost your mother. It's no surprise that you are having trouble emoting."

"I keep switching between being sad and being angry."

"That's normal, but have you properly grieved?"

"I don't know."

"There are five levels of grieving."

"Stage one is denial. Denying that the problem or change isn't happening."

"I did that. I kept wanting to change it."

"That's good. It's part of the grieving process. The next stage is Anger."

"Oh, I'm plenty angry."

"I can tell. I would be too."

"I... I... I."

"It's okay." Jean said. "Let it out."

"I hated my mom for a split second!" Jason yelled. "I hated her for a split second, and the next thing I knew she was gone! She was gone one second, and then she was back! I thought she was getting better, but she wasn't, and she almost died thinking I hated her!"

Jean walked over to Jason and hugged him.

Jason hugged her back and broke down.

He fell to his knees and cried.

Jean sat down next to Jason and let him cry.

Tsu listened in growing horror as Jason told Black Sensei what he was struggling with. 'Jason was hiding this. How was he so strong to keep it pushed down this long?' She put a hand on Jason's shoulder to support him.

Jason just sat and cried.

Jean used her Quirk to see Jason's thoughts. They were chaotic, and unfocused. He had images of his mother dying on repeat, and it was tearing him up.

When Jason stopped crying Jean sat him down. "Do you want to continue?"

Jason nodded.

"The next stage of grief is bargaining."

"I wish I could change it."

"I know, and it will make you upset, and depressed, but you need to talk to someone about it."

"I keep thinking how I wish it were me, or how I wish I had a healing Quirk, or wishing that I would have reacted faster."

Jean hugged Jason. "That's all part of the grieving process."

"Is there anything I could have done?"

"No. I'm sorry, but it wasn't destiny that took your mom. It wasn't supposed to happen. It was just a villain who was chasing after a little girl. He got mad and took it out on your mom. That's it, and I'm sorry to say that there was nothing that anyone, not even a Hero, could do about it."

"Then I think it's time for a new type of Hero." Jason said.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that it's time for a Hero who's willing to cross the line. There are some Villains you can rehabilitate, but there are those that you can talk to till you're blue in the face, and they still won't change. I think it's time for a Hero who's willing to do what needs to be done about these Villains. I think it's time for an Anti-Hero."

Jean looked inside Jason's mind. She was expecting to find him still grieving, but instead she found a hardened resolve.

Tsu looked at Jason and felt that she understood him better. He could have used his mother's death as an excuse to kill villains, but instead he'd turned it into an oath to help those he could. The crossing the line part was a little distressing, but she would just chalk that up to grief.

Jason stayed like that a little longer, but eventually decided to get up.

"Better?" Jean asked.

Jason took in a breath. "Not one hundred percent, but I'll get there."

"Okay. Come talk to me anytime you need to talk. Even if it's at 2:00 in the morning."

"Okay. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Jason looked at the clock and saw that it was 3:00. "We missed afternoon classes." Jason said. "Sorry Tsu."

"Don't be sorry. Kero. You helped me even when you were dealing with your mother's death. The least I could do was support you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Tsu said hugging Jason.

Jason was shocked at first, but slowly moved his arms and hugged Tsu back.

"Maybe we could go somewhere to help you get back to being one hundred percent?" Tsu suggested.

"Sure, just... not right now."

"I understand. Kero. We can decide later. It's just a suggestion."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Kero, kero."

After that they exchanged numbers in case Jason wanted to talk, and Tsu left.

"I have a meeting with Principal Nedzu." Jason said leaving.

"Before you go." Recovery Girl said. "Have some Gummy's." She handed him some gummy's and he ate them while he walked.

"Why are you crying?" Recovery Girl asked.

Jean wiped away tears as she watched Jason and Tsu's relationship blossom into romance. "Something wonderful." She replied.

She just hoped that it stayed. Jason deserved something good in his life.

Jason knocked on Principal Nedzu's office door and waited for it to open.

He only waited a few seconds and walked in when Nedzu beckoned.

When he walked in, he saw his moms Lawyer, his dad, and someone he assumed to be his dad's lawyer.

"Jason." Jason Blood said. "This is my Lawyer, Bryce Clark."

"Jason." His moms Lawyer said. "I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll do everything in my power to help you."

Jason nodded.

"Let us begin." Principal Nedzu said. "Jason. You have a right to know the autopsy report came back. I'll tell you before we bring in the others."

"Others?" Jason asked.

"For the reading of your mothers will."

"I see."

"I will respect you, and not sugar coat this." Nedzu said. "Your mother fought to the death, but the damage was too severe for her Quirk to heal. She had severe internal bleeding. It's a miracle you got to say goodbye."

"Thank you for being honest with me." Jason said.

"You're welcome. I'm just sorry it happened."

"So am I."

"If you would like a copy of the Autopsy report, I can give you one."

"I'd like that."

Nedzu handed Jason Haywood a copy of the report.

Jason put the report next to him. He would read it later.

Nedzu called someone. "You may come in." He spoke.

A few minutes later the door opened and Aizawa sensei, Johnny and his parents, Anna, Elsa, and their parents, Rogue, and her mom, and Inko, and Izuku walked in.

"Thank you for coming." Nedzu said. "We decided to read the Last Will and Testament of Sheila Haywood in my office for two reasons. One being that Young Haywood is without a guardian at this point, and the Will fixes that problem. Second because it is perhaps the safest place to do so."

Everyone nodded.

"If there is nothing else." Nedzu said. "You may begin."

Jason's mother's Lawyer got up and opened his briefcase before pulling out an envelope. He opened the envelope and pulled out a copy of Sheila's will.

"I Sheila Catherine Haywood, being of sound mind and body, hereby declare this as my last Will and Testament. With the exception of the following, I leave all my earthly possessions to my Son Jason Peter Todd/Haywood/Blood. Whichever name he chooses to go by. Jason. I did not tell you this because I thought you would think less of me. Willis Todd is not your biological father. Your biological father is a man named Jason Blood, your namesake. He can tell you the full story of how we met, and I hope that you two will respect each other.

To Raven Darkhölme. I leave you my blue dress that you always seemed to like. I hope you will have more use of it than I seeing as I was working most nights.

The Lawyer handed Raven a box. Raven opened the box to see a dark blue dress that went down to just past her knees. She put the dress back in the box and nodded, tears falling down her face.

Jason could sense the anguish inside Raven. She was feeling loss on a whole other level than the others. The only thing he could compare it to was how he felt when his mom died. Raven Loved his mom.

To Barton Blaze. I leave you a fifty-year-old bottle of scotch. You were always there when I needed someone to help with Jason. You took him to movies, arcades, sports. You were the strong hand that helped Jason become who he is today.

The lawyer handed Barton a wooden box with a bottle of scotch in it.

He nodded to the lawyer, and sniffed, trying to hide his emotions.

To Clara Blaze. I leave you a fifteen-year-old bottle of wine, for all the nights you stayed up talking with me when I had a rough day. Thank you for your support.

The lawyer handed Clara a box with a bottle of wine in it.

Clara nodded to the lawyer, and couldn't help bet let a few tears out.

To Agnarr and Iduna Martin. You have been good friends and have helped me with so much. You have been a good influence on Jason's life, seeing how you make time for your daughters is a good example for him to follow.

Agnarr. You have showed Jason that a good man does not need to use force, but that the strongest force comes from his heart. I would like you to have the painting "Fateful Signs." You always seemed interested in it, and I'd like it to be appreciated.

The lawyer handed Agnarr a 20 X 24 picture frame with a picture of Thor God of Thunder in it.

"Thank you." Agnarr said, his voice cracking and tears falling.

To Iduna. You are the one who taught me to dress sharp, so I leave you the blue and black pinstripe suit you urged me to buy for the conference in Tokyo.

The lawyer handed Iduna a box and she opened it to show the blue pinstripe suit she'd urged Sheila to buy as a joke, and she couldn't help but release a sad, watery chuckle. "I'll remember you when I wear it." She spoke.

Inko Midoriya. The first day we met I was a wreck. I was a single mother with a three-year-old turning four, and you came in and made it better almost instantly. You were a great friend in my time of need. You took me shopping to get what I would need. Brought Izuku over and had Jason and Izuku play in the front room while I took a nap, and you cleaned up my mess of an apartment. I do not have much that you don't have, but I would like you to have my copy of American cooking. I know that you enjoyed borrowing it and would like you to have it.

The lawyer handed Inko the cookbook.

Inko was in tears as she took the cookbook.

"I have two more things to bring up. The first is something for your children, and the next is guardianship of Jason if he is not 18 at the time of my death. First. To Johnny Blaze, Anna and Elsa Martin, Anna Marie Darkhölme, Izuku Midoriya, and My son Jason. I was coming home from a work meeting in Tokyo when I saw an overturned vehicle. I went to help the people trapped inside and rushed them to the closest hospital. Two weeks went by and the man driving the car showed up at the hospital I work at. He asked me if he could repay my kindness. Because of me, his wife and daughter survived. I told him that I was just doing my job as a doctor, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. This is what I asked for in return."

The Lawyer handed each child an envelope with a globe and stylized "I" on the front.

"This is..." Izuku gasped through his own tears.

"As Izuku has probably figured out." The Lawyer continued. "The man I saved works on "I island". Inside each envelope you will find his final rendition of what he designed for each of you. I believe that each of you will make great Heroes, and this is my way of saying good luck."

"Thank you." The Heroes in training said in unison.

"Now onto the matter of Guardianship of Jason. If Jason Blood is unable to take custody of Jason, then Inko Midoriya has been given custody of Jason. However. I am leaving the choice up to Jason. He can let Jason Blood be his Guardian or he can let Inko be his Guardian. The choice is his."

Everyone looked at Jason.

"I would like to get to know you better." He said looking at Jason Blood. "However. I reserve the right to choose Inko if I don't think you will be a fitting father figure."

"Very well." Jason Blood replied. "I think it's fair considering that I haven't been a part of your life since you were born."

"Now that that is all taken care of." Nedzu said. "You can make funeral arrangements."

"Thank you." Jason Blood said. "May I talk with Jason now?"

"Yes, yes. Of course."

Jason and Jason Blood left the office.

Everyone looked at Sheila's Lawyer.

"This feels wrong." Barton said. "She was our friend, and she was taken too early."

"I'm sorry." The Lawyer said.

"I'm sorry. I didn't catch your name."

"Makoto Ono." The Lawyer said with a bow.

Barton bowed back. "Nice to meet you."

"Will you tell Jason that I will be at his services, just like I was for his mother." Makoto said, handing Barton a business card.

Barton took it. "Of course."

"Thank you." Makoto said with a bow before leaving.

"I am afraid that I must also take my leave." Bryce said before he glowed and disappeared.

"I am sorry for your loss." Aizawa said before leaving.

Nedzu looked at everyone. "Your children will be excused for Sheila's funeral."

"Thank you." Agnarr said, wiping tears away. "Let's go girls." He said, leading his family out of the room.

"Why do I get the feeling that we are more depressed about Sheila's death than Jason?" Raven asked.

"Jason copes with things in his own way." Rogue said.

"Yeah." Johnny said. "It usually involves a lot of fighting."

Jason and Etrigan were running across rooftops away from UA.

"So?" Jason asked creating a grapple and shooting across to the next building before tucking, rolling to his feet, and kept running. "How did you find me?"

"Jason Blood activated a tracking charm on you and Willis Todd."

"Why Willis Todd?" Jason asked jumping across to another roof.

"Willis Todd threatened his son, and that we couldn't condone."

"So, you killed him?"

"No. Jason Blood wanted you to have that privilege. A rite of passage from a bygone age."

"Good. I want to look that bastard in the eyes when I kill him." Jason used the grapple to get over another building.

"He will suffer for his sins."

"What are your thoughts on killing?"

"It is necessary."

"And Vengeance?" he asked, looking over a building.

"I live for it!"

"I want to kill the man who killed my mom."

"You will need training. You are good, but not as good as you think?"

"WHAT!"

"You're not ready to fight a full-fledged Villain."

"BULLSHIT! I CAN TAKE A VILLAIN IN A FIGHT!"

Etrigan punched Jason, sending him flying over the edge of the roof before jumping after him.

Jason used the grapple to get over to a building, but Etrigan caught him, and pinned his arms to his side.

Jason created his armor, and struggled against Etrigan, but Etrigan was stronger. His eye's glowed black with three red comma shaped symbols, and he knew what he needed to do. "Efreeti! Hear my plea! I unlock your chains and set you free!"

There was a blast of fire and Etrigan was knocked back.

Etrigan looked up and saw a Demon wearing black pants with red armor covering his midsection, red Pauldrons, and red gauntlets. The demon had four horns and wielded a large sword with a large wooden shield.

"So. This is your true form." Etrigan said.

"I have you to thank for that." Efreeti said. "Thanks to you I can move ahead with my plans."

"What plans?"

"That would be telling."

"Are you going to hurt Jason Bloods son?"

"No. Why would I hurt my host? I simply plan on helping him achieve his goal."

"You plan to help him kill the man who murdered his mother?"

"Yes. As well as the rest of the scum in this city. You can feel it right? The corruption flooding through this city."

"I can."

"I will help young Jason clean these streets."

"Do not get him killed. Jason Blood would not be happy if his son were to die."

"I will not. He will not remember how to summon me after he wakes up. It will take too much of a toll on him as he is right now. Train him to control true Hellfire. Then, and only then will I allow him to summon me."

"I see. I will train him."

"Good. We will meet again." Efreeti said dissolving leaving Jason in his place.

Jason crumbled to the floor.

"Begone, begone, O Etrigan, Return once more the form of man."

Etrigan disappeared and left Jason Blood in his place.

Jason Blood picked Jason Haywood up and looked around to see they had gathered a crowd. "He's training his Quirk." He said before walking away.

He walked them back to the hotel he was staying at.

That night.

Jason woke up later that night and looked at his phone.

The screen said 10:00.

'First Patrol.' He thought, getting up. He looked around and saw a hotel room. His dad wasn't in the room and opened the window looking out over the city. He was three blocks away from UA. He created his armor and used a grapple to get across the city, and to another building. He let his senses take over and felt for negativity. He was specifically feeling for pain or fear. He felt pain coming from somewhere below him and jumped down.

The man walked out of the drug store and took out the bottle of painkillers he'd taken and popped a few in his mouth. "Damn it!" He swore. "Damn it! Why is the pain so bad!" He leaned against a wall and grit his teeth. "Damn it!" He swore. "I'm going to kill Endeavor for what he did to me!"

Someone landed in front of him with a crack.

He activated his Quirk letting blue flames engulf him heating up his scars and causing more pain. 'Damn it! Why aren't the painkillers taking effect?'

"Are you okay?" The armor-clad figure asked. "I felt your pain. Do you need help?"

"Why would I need your help, Hero? I've been alone for the last ten years. I'm fine."

"Right." The armor-clad figure said sarcastically. "Because scar tissue is the new hip thing."

"Shut up!" The man yelled throwing a blue fireball at the figure.

"Cute." The figure said. "I'm fireproof in this armor."

The painkillers took effect, and the man straightened up before surrounding himself with blue fire. "Let's test that theory." He said surrounding the figure in blue fire and bringing it crashing down around him.

The figure walked out of the fire and walked towards him. "Todoroki Touya." The figure said.

"How do you know that name?" Touya asked.

Jason landed on the ground with a crack and stood up.

The guy activated his Quirk, and Jason felt his pain.

"Are you okay?" Jason asked. "I felt your pain. Do you need help?"

"Why would I need your help, Hero?" The guy asked. "I've been alone for the last ten years. I'm fine."

"Right." Jason said sarcastically. "Because scar tissue is the new hip thing." "Computer. Run facial recognition. Replace the scar tissue, and cycle through every hair color until you find a match."

Back at UA Jason's laptop activated the Bat Computer program and brought up a picture of the man and replaced the scar tissue with skin and began cycling through different hair colors until it came across a name.

Match found:

Name: Touya Todoroki

Gender: Male

Birthday: January 18th

Father: Enji Todoroki

Mother: Rei Todoroki

Sister(younger): Fuyumi Todoroki

Brother(Younger): Natsuo Todoroki

Brother(Youngest): Shoto Todoroki

Quirk: Cremation

"Shut up!" The man yelled throwing a blue fireball at the figure.

"Cute." Jason said. "I'm fireproof in this armor."

Jason felt pain as the man straightened up before surrounding himself with blue fire. "Let's test that theory." He said surrounding the figure in blue fire and bringing it crashing down around him.

Jason's helmet clicked and the computer answered.

Jason walked out of the fire and walked towards him. "Touya Todoroki." He spoke.

"How do you know that name?" Touya asked.

"You are the child of Enji and Rei Todoroki..."

Touya erupted in blue fire and sent a fireball at Jason.

Jason moved out of the way. "What if I could help you get revenge on Endeavor?"

Touya stopped. "Would you really help me kill Endeavor?"

"Yes."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Meet me at Dagoba Beach tomorrow at 5:00 PM. I'll prove it then."

"Fine, but if you double cross me, I'll kill you."

"I won't."

Touya walked away grabbing his bottle of painkillers as he left.

Jason aimed the grapple upward and flew towards the top of a building.

He had been on patrol for an hour when his phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Jason! Where are you?"

"I went out to clear my head."

"Jason! Are you out looking for your mother's killer?"

"No."

"Are you lying?"

"I am not out looking for my mother's Killer. That ass whooping Etrigan gave me made me realize that I need to get stronger than Etrigan in order to beat my mother's killer. So, I will train until I can kick Etrigan's ass, then go find the bastard who killed my mom."

"Come back to the hotel, and we can start training tomorrow."

"Okay, but I want you to help train my friends too."

"We can talk about that tomorrow."

"Fine. I'm heading back now."

"Okay."

Jason hung up and made his way back to the hotel.

The next day.

Jason woke up and looked around the hotel room.

"Good." Jason Blood said. "You're awake. I would like to talk before you go to school."

"Okay."

"First off. Might we use your middle name when we are together? It could be confusing if someone calls out 'Jason', and we both turn."

"That seems reasonable. I could have a pseudonym in public. It could be a good cover."

"As well as throw any remaining villains off your scent."

"What about Peter Blood?"

"That sounds like a plausible name."

"Should I change my name to Peter Blood?"

"That is your decision. I will not try and influence your decisions."

"Okay. What else do you want to talk about?"

"Well. I would like to get to know you. I know that you don't have any reason to do that since I practically abandoned you and your mother after Willis threw you two out."

"Okay. I want to know more about your work. You are a Historian studying Arthurian history, right?"

"Yes. I take it you looked up my web page after you called me?"

"Yes. I find the subject interesting. Is it true that Merlin bonded you with Etrigan?"

Jason Blood looked surprised. "Where did you hear that?"

"Myths and legends of Camelot. It was an interesting read."

"Don't believe every myth and legend you read."

"Is it true?"

"Yes."

"So, does that mean that you know magic?"

"Um... I, um."

"You do, don't you?"

"Yes."

"Can you teach me?"

"We don't have time right now. We will work on it during training."

"Okay." Jason said getting up and walking to the bathroom.

While Jason Haywood showered Jason Blood created a portal and reached into it before pulling out Jason's school uniform from his closet at his apartment and put it on the bathroom door.

Jason came out and saw the Uniform. He took it inside the bathroom and changed.

When he came out, he looked at Jason blood.

"I have a request while I'm a school."

"What is it?"

"Look into Enji Todoroki. He's Endeavor the number two Hero."

"Okay? Why?"

"I think he's an abusive asshole who tortured his oldest and youngest sons."

"What makes you say that?"

"His youngest son is in my class, but I ran into his oldest son last night on patrol. He is covered in scar tissue."

That is disturbing. I will look into it."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Now, get to class."

Jason walked over to UA and met his friends in the courtyard.

"So, how's your dad?" Rogue asked.

"He's not bad. Etrigan is really strong. We sparred last night, and he wiped the floor with me."

"Seriously?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah."

Izuku was vibrating.

"What's up Izuku?" Jason asked.

"Did you guys look at the envelope from I island?"

Jason took his out of his bag. "Not yet."

"Open it." Izuku said pulling out his notebook. "I looked at mine last night, and put it, and all the specs in my notebook."

The others took their envelopes out.

"Want to look at them?" Anna asked.

Izuku vibrated. "Yes! Yes!" Izuku said bouncing up and down.

They went to Himiko's and Eri's room to pick up Eri and Himiko before going to the class 1A classroom.

Eri sat in Jason's lap as Izuku opened his notebook and showed him his entry.

They looked at Izuku's armor specs. It was Jade green samurai style armor with two wings like protrusions jutting from his back that looked like wings, and a helmet that looked like a dragon's head with five horns pointing behind the helmet.

"That looks pretty cool." Anna said.

"That's only the front." Izuku said turning the page to show the back of the armor. On the back of the armor there was a piece of metal looking like a short tail. Izuku had drawn dotted lines showing that the tail was telescopic. "Guys. It has a tail!" Izuku said happily.

"Why are you so happy about a tail?" Johnny asked.

"Are you kidding!" Izuku yelled. "I can create a fighting style to incorporate it! It will be awesome!"

"I'm sure you will be able to sugar, and with your Quirk, and One for All, you will be unstoppable."

"Do you think so?"

"I know so sugar."

"Who's next?" Izuku asked pulling out a pencil.

"I guess me." Johnny said, opening his envelope.

He pulled out a disk and placed it on the table.

The projector showed a Skeleton before it placed a black suit over the Skeleton with a design on the front that went over his pectorals and down his front over his abs and branched out. There were flames branching across his obliques.

The projector lit the Skeletons head on fire.

Izuku began writing rapidly, and muttering distorting the world around him.

The projector put notes up around the black clad skeleton. The suit was fireproof, bullet proof, tear proof, waterproof, and would protect the wearer from the road if they were thrown from a motorcycle. The inside of the suit was insulated and ventilated well.

"This is amazing." Izuku said.

"It is pretty cool." Johnny said. "I can't wait to try it out."

"Who's next?" Izuku asked.

"Me next! Me next!" Anna yelled, opening her envelope and putting her projector on the desk.

A feminine figure appeared in the air and was covered by a dark blue body suit. The projection spun the suit around before wings sprouted from the back and fluttered.

"YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FLY!" Izuku yelled writing that down.

A hood came up over the figures head and a rebreather appeared over the figures mouth.

"AND BREATHE UNDERWATER!" He yelled.

Notes appeared around the suit. The wearer would be able to travel under water in subzero temperatures due to the interior of the suit having special sensors that regulate body temperature and keep the body at a constant temperature of whatever it was before they entered the water.

The suit would also allow them to dive deep due to other sensors in the suit that regulated the pressure of the water by pushing outward with equal force.

"HOW DID THEY DO THAT!" Izuku yelled.

"I don't know!" Anna yelled back. "But I love it!"

More notes appeared on the outside of the suit. The suit was also bullet proof, fireproof, and tear proof.

"Me next." Elsa said putting her projector on the table.

A feminine figure appeared in the air.

A pale blue bodysuit appeared with notes. The bodysuit would keep Elsa's body at a constant temperature to allow her to use her Quirk, even in fire areas, and was tear proof.

"I wish I had that during the USJ incident." Elsa said.

A set of multihued blue robes trimmed with white appeared on the figure with notes. The robes provided insulation and camouflage. They were also bullet proof, tear proof, and fireproof.

"That will help if I'm in a blizzard area."

The projection added a hooded cloak with a white hood that could be pulled over Elsa's face and provide protection from the elements. The midsection of the cloak was dark blue, and the lower section was white and dragged the floor.

The cloak was Bullet Proof, fireproof, and tear proof.

"I love it!" Elsa said.

Izuku took notes on it. "What an amazing Hero costume." He spoke.

"I guess I'm next." Rogue said putting her projector on the table.

A feminine figure appeared in the air and was surrounded by a green bodysuit with white stripes across the suit. The suit was bullet proof, fireproof, and tear proof, and would allow for comfortable flight in the upper atmosphere due to sensors in the suit that kept a constant temperature from when it was put on.

The projector put black boots and gloves on. The gloves could be taken off to allow Rogue to use her Quirk.

There was a utility belt on her hip that was made out of a special carbon fiber alloy blend so it couldn't be cut.

"Hm." Rogue said. "I like it, except for the fact that it's a skintight bodysuit. I'll look like Midnight sensei in that thing."

In the teachers break room.

Nemuri Kayama was sitting at her desk when she felt chills run up her spine and she sneezed.

"Are you okay Nemuri?" Hizashi Yamada asked. "Are you coming down with something."

"No. I'm fine. It just felt like someone was talking about me."

"Oh. Any idea who it is?"

"No."

"Hm. I wonder who it is."

"We may never find out."

Class 1A

Izuku was writing everything down. "Jason. You're next."

Jason reached into his bag with one arm and made sure Eri didn't fall with the other arm. He pulled out his envelope. "Hey Eri. Want to help me with this?"

Eri held the Envelope while Jason opened it.

"Want to take it out?" He asked.

Eri reached into the envelope and pulled the holographic disk out but dropped it.

Jason caught it and put it on the table.

"I-I'm sorry." Eri whimpered.

"For what?" Jason asked. "You didn't do anything wrong."

"Okay." Eri said.

A masculine figure appeared in the air and a black bodysuit appeared around it. The bodysuit like all the others was tear proof.

The projection put olive drab green pants on the figure, and a black Kevlar, Carbon Fiber with titanium weave long sleeved shirt on.

"OH MY GOSH!" Izuku said. "THAT IS SOME SERIOUSLY TOUGH ARMOR!"

"It's not finished yet." Jason said.

The Projection put a pair of gauntlets on the figure and showed spikes that could extend. The shortest at six inches and the longest at two feet long.

"AAHHH!" Izuku yelled. "THAT"S SO COOL!"

The Projection put a utility belt and gun belt on figure.

"Whoa." Rogue said. "That's some pretty heavy hardware."

The projection put a rust red hoodie with red trim on.

"Looks a little bare." Anna said.

"Maybe we can put something on the hoodie later."

"Maybe."

The projection put a pair of knee-high combat boots on the figure.

"I'd hate to be the guy you kick with those." Johnny said.

"I wonder what else they can do?" Jason asked.

The projection put a red skull like helmet on the figures head.

Eri tried hiding her face in Jason's chest, and whimpered.

Jason held her and covered the projection. "Is that mask scary?" He asked.

"Uh-huh." Eri Whimpered.

"It's meant to scare bad guys. That mask won't hurt you."

"The bad man wore a mask." She shuddered.

Jason hugged Eri. "I won't let the bad man hurt you." He spoke.

"None of us will sugar." Rogue said. "Come here." She said picking Eri up and flying around the classroom.

Jason looked at the projection and saw the mask. It was fearsome and would scare the shit out of some villains.

He turned off the projection and put it in his bag.

Eri was content to be flying around with Rogue and had stopped whimpering.

Himiko looked at everyone. She was feeling...She didn't know what she was feeling, but she didn't like it.

Nedzu walked into the room. "Himiko. Could I speak with you?"

Himiko left the room, and they walked to Nedzu's office.

"Please sit down Young Himiko." Nedzu said. "Tea?"

"No. What's this about?"

"I got a call last night. Your parents gave custody of you to Sheila."

"Okay."

"You don't sound very surprised."

"Sheila's dead. Who has custody of me now?"

"Seeing as Jason Blood is Young Haywood's legal guardian, we could try and use that as a loophole to get you into Jason Bloods custody."

"Okay."

"What are you thinking?"

"I wasn't wanted by my parents. The only people who have ever been nice to me are Jason, Eri, and Sheila. Not including you, Recovery Girl, Aizawa, and Jason's friends, and their families."

"I know that you must be hurting."

"How would you know!" Himiko yelled as tears stung the corner of her eye's. "How would you know what it's like to not be wanted by anyone!" Tears started rolling down her cheeks. "How would you know what it's like wondering if that day would be your last day!" The tears began rolling faster. "How would you know what it's like wishing that you didn't wake up the next day because it would be better than wondering when you were going to be able to eat next!" Himiko broke down into sobs and fell to the floor in a heap. "How do you know anything?" She sobbed.

Nedzu rarely felt anger, but what Himiko told him made his blood boil. "I know more than you think, Young Himiko." Nezu said sitting down next to Himiko.

"What could you possibly know?"

"I wasn't always an intelligent animal. I used to be a lab animal."

Himiko looked up. "What?" She hiccupped.

Nedzu sat Himiko in her seat and sat down before telling her his Story.

Notes:

Enter my favorite MHA character, Dabi, though I prefer Fanon Dabi, so that's the Dabi I write.

Chapter 15: Changes: Part 2 of 2

Summary:

Jason fights, Eri helps, Mitsuki rages. Inko calls Hisashi.

Chapter Text

Jason went through his required classes on autopilot, he needed to focus on something, but it was hard to focus, and the coroners report in his bag only seemed to weigh him down. He didn't want to read the report because he was terrified of what it would say. This was the third time he'd lost his mom. The first time was in the other universe when she'd sold him out to the Joker in an attempt to save her own life. He couldn't necessarily hate her for that. He'd used his body to cover the bomb in the hopes that she would make it out alive, unfortunately she'd been hurt worse than him somehow. He'd also been brought back from the Lazarus pit. The second time was when the bastard had killed her before bringing her back. Now she was dead for real, and there was nothing he could do to change that, no matter how hard he tried. All he could do was go to her funeral after his dad, made the arrangements.

When lunch came around, he and Eri sat with Tsu, Eri sitting in his lap and eating after he's assured her that her food was safe.

Anna looked at them and cooed. "They look so cute!"

"You didn't have anything to do with that, did you?" Elsa asked.

"Nope, but I will give Izuku and Ochako the push they need."

"WH-wh-what!" Izuku stammered out.

"Don't fight me on this." Anna said, a determined look on her face. "Otherwise, I'll bring in the big guns."

"What?"

Anna looked around and found Mina before walking over to her. She talked to Mina who squealed in delight and affirmation.

"I think you and Ochako will be dating by the end of the year." Johnny said.

Izuku went beet red.

After lunch it was time for Hero basic training. They changed into the UA Gym uniform and went to the Arena.

"All right." All Might said, looking more Heroic today after having his body completely healed from his past injuries. "Today we are doing single battles to prepare for the one-on-one event during the sports Festival. Who wants to go first?"

"I DO!" Jason yelled jumping up, not realizing how tense he was, but defiantly wanting to fight no holds barred.

The arena went quiet. They hadn't seen Jason this... unhinged before.

"Well come on to the arena and you can pick your opponent." All Might said.

Jason gave Eri to Anna and went down to the Arena. "I want to fight..." he looked around, making a show of it, until he said. "... Bakugo."

Bakugo walked down to the arena and looked at Jason, he had a bad feeling about this, like Jason wasn't going to hold back unless All Might physically held him back. That was fine by him.

"All right." All Might said. "You may use your Quirks, and so long as you don't go overboard, anything goes. Also. The winner gets to choose their next opponent."

"I choose Deku!" Bakugo yelled. This was his time to fight that shitty nerd, he felt a weight drop in his stomach. Why was he feeling this?

"Fight!" All Might yelled.

Bakugo flew at Jason using his explosions to get in close, a terrible mistake on his part.

Jason ran at Bakugo, clotheslined him before jumping on his back and slamming him into the ground. "Why did you tell Izuku to 'take a swan dive off the Aldera Junior High roof and hope for a Quirk in the next life.'?" He hissed into Bakugo's ear. "You had to know that I would have found out eventually."

Bakugo tensed from hearing that.

Jason let go, grabbed Bakugo, and suplexed him into the ground before rolling onto his back and ramming his knee into his back. "Were you just saying that to be a dick, or did you want him to kill himself!" He hissed again. He grabbed Bakugo in a choke hold. "If it weren't for Anna and Elsa he would have jumped. His blood would be on your hands!"

Bakugo created an explosion and knocked Jason off. "YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT!" He yelled. "I WAS THERE THE DAY THAT HAPPENED! I WATCHED AS THEY PULLED HIM AWAY FROM THE EDGE!"

In the stands everyone began talking amongst themselves... all but five. Johnny and Rogue were suppressing their anger while Anna and Elsa looked shocked, and Izuku had gone white as a sheet.

"Then why didn't you do anything about it?" Jason asked.

"I TRIED PUSHING DEKU TO BECOME STRONGER! IT WAS THE ONLY WAY I COULD THINK OF TO TRY AND MAKE IT UP TO HIM! BY PUSHING HIM I COULD MAKE SURE THAT HE BECAME THE HERO HE WANTED TO BE!"

"That's not what he needed! If you wanted to spar with him then you should have just asked instead of whatever the hell you call what you did."

"I'VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR THAT FUCKING MISTAKE SINCE I TOLD HIM TO JUMP! I THOUGHT THAT IF I TURNED THE OLD ME INTO A TRAINER THEN HE COULD EVENTUALLY FORGET WHAT HAPPENED!"

"You don't just forget someone telling you to kill yourself."

All Might looked at Bakugo to Midoriya and felt a surge of anger. "Young Bakugo! Young Haywood! This training session is over! You may use this period as a study period. Young Bakugo. Come with me."

Bakugo followed All Might, and Jason went to talk to Hatsumé.

When he got to the support department, he saw Kristoff sitting at a table working on something.

"Hey Kristoff." He said startling the blond.

"Oh. Jason. It's you."

"Yeah. It's me. Is Hatsumé here?"

"Yeah. She's in the back room." He said pointing to the back.

Jason went back and found Hatsumé working on something. "Hey Hatsumé."

"Whoa!" Hatsumé yelled.

"Sorry. I came to ask you something, and request you start on something before the others."

"Sure. What's up?"

"I was wondering if you could make the wrist mounted computer."

"Funny you should ask. That's what I'm currently working on."

"Oh. How's it coming? I know that computers in general take time..."

"Done." Hatsumé said handing him a bracer that looked a little thicker than his I Phone.

"This is amazing. How did you get this done so quickly? I was expecting at least a week if not a month."

"These are surplus." Hatsumé said, showing him a crate of the bracer. "During the earliest days of Heroes, they used these wrist computers to check the Hero boards, the wanted posters, and the bounties. Now they are given to the support class for the beginners to practice on. When I saw this in your list of things you wanted made, I got to work and here you go. We have like... five more crates of the things?"

"Thanks." Jason said putting it on his arm and tightened the bracer. He put in the encryptions and codes for the bat computer, and it lit up. "This is amazing. Thank you."

"You're welcome. What's the next thing you want made, and I'll add it to the list."

"List?"

"Yeah. Not a lot of people like me working on their gear because of all the explosions that happen around me, but I still have a list of things people want made."

Jason scrolled through his new wrist computer and showed her three things.

"Pick one."

Hatsumé looked at the three images and squealed in delight.

"I'll make the..."

Jason's phone rang.

"Hello." He said after he answered it.

"Hey." Anna said through the phone. "Eri was wondering where you went. I think she's getting bored of playing with Olaf, and a little scared that you and Himiko aren't here."

"Oh. Okay. I'm in the support classroom. I'm heading back right now."

"Okay. Tell Kristoff I said hi."

"Will do." Jason said before hanging up.

"I'll see you later." Jason nodded to Hatsumé.

"Okay. Bye."

Jason walked out but stopped by Kristoff. "Anna says hi."

"Tell her that Sven and I say hi back."

"Will do." Jason said leaving the support classroom. He walked back to the classroom when he bumped into someone.

"Watch it." A harsh pompous voice snarled.

Jason looked at him and saw a well-defined facial structure. The kid looked like he was around his age, with blue eyes and brown hair. The thing that startled Jason the most was the sheer and utter hatred and disgust that rolled off him.

"Is there a problem?" The kid asked.

"No." Jason said.

"Aren't you going to apologize?"

"For what?"

"For bumping into me."

"No." Jason said walking away.

"Hey Graydon!" an annoying voice said. "Wait up! Oh. I see you ran into one of those 1A snobs."

"Yes. He needs to be taken down a peg."

"Shall we."

"Do you really want to do this?" Jason asked, turning around taking a picture with the wrist computer before shutting it off. "I'm not in the mood for your inferiority complex, and I can't promise to hold back."

"Ooh hoo!" The blonde kid said touching Graydon's neck. "We can beat you."

They both turned into Jason.

"You look like me, but do you know my style?"

Graydon jumped and brought his foot down on Jason.

"No. You have my body, but you have your own skill sets." Jason said activating his armor.

Graydon kicked Jason only to have his leg caught by Jason, and his pants leg burned, and twisted out of Jason's grasp with the flexibility of an Olympic gymnast.

"Monoma!" He shouted.

"Right." Monoma said, reaching for Jason.

Jason caught Monoma's arm and burned his blazer.

"Do you really think that I am afraid of you?" Monoma asked with a crazed smirk, like, if he beat Jason that would validate his inferiority complex.

"Just wait until the pain starts." Jason said.

Monoma pulled his hand away.

"You wouldn't be so tough without that armor." He yelled.

Jason's armor disappeared and he walked up to Monoma. "What were you saying?"

Monoma gasped and shuddered before stammering.

Jason walked away from Monoma towards the Arena.

"That's right!" Monoma shouted. "Next time we won't go so easy on you."

Jason flipped Monoma off before he looked down at his wrist computer.

Name: Monoma Neita

Gender: Male

Birthday: May 13th

Father: Unknown

Mother: Unknown

Siblings: Unknown

Blood type: A

Quirk: Copy (He can copy an individual's Quirk just by touching as little as a few strands of hair.)

'Strange.' Jason thought. 'Why doesn't the Bat Computer have his family listed? Thoughts for another time I guess.' He scrolled over to the other one... Graydon.

Name: Graydon Creed Jr.

Gender: Male

Birthday: Unknown

Father: Graydon Creed Sr.

Mother: Raven Creed

Siblings: Unknown

Blood type: Unknown

Quirk: Morph (Shapeshifting.)

'Hm.' Jason thought as he walked into the arena.

"Jason!" Eri yelled running to him.

"Hi Eri!" Jason yelled back before dropping to one knee. "What's up Eri?"

"What's that?" Eri asked pointing at his wrist computer.

"Oh this? It's a new support Item I'm taking for a test run."

"What is it?"

"It's a computer."

"Who's that sugar?" Rogue asked.

Jason showed her the screen with Graydon Creed.

The room seemed to drop ten degrees.

"Jason." Rogue said in a hollow voice.

"What is it?" He asked.

"That man. He needs to die."

"What?" he asked in shock, Rogue wasn't opposed to killing, but she never outright wanted to kill anyone.

"That man. He's the leader of 'The Friends of Humanity'."

Rogue had told them about 'The Friends of Humanity'. It wasn't good.

"Jason?" Rogue asked. "What is he doing here?"

"I don't know."

Graydon Creed waited outside class 1B. He took his phone out and opened his contacts before selecting one number.

"What?" A voice asked from the other end.

"She's here."

"Keep an eye on her. I'll find some way to get there."

"Are you willing to wait until the sports Festival?"

"Why don't I just send your parents to get her? They could say that she's been missing and could claim to be her parents."

"If you could be patient..."

"WE NEED HER BACK LAST WEEK!"

"Okay, okay. Do whatever you need to do."

"I will try and get them there tomorrow at the latest. Be ready."

"All right. I'll pull the fire alarm or something. Send me a text when you're ready."

"I will." The owner of the voice hung up.

Graydon walked into Class 1B.

All Might walked Bakugo into the office.

"Is Nedzu Sensei in?" All Might asked.

"He's in with Himiko right now."

"When will he be done?"

"Let me check."

"Thank you."

The Receptionist called Nedzu's office.

"Hello?" Nedzu asked when he answered the phone.

"All Might is here to see you Nedzu Sensei."

"Ah. Thank you, Emi. Please send him in."

"Very well."

Emi hung up. "Please go in All Might."

"Thank you, Emi."

Emi smiled and went back to her work.

All Might and Bakugo walked into Principal Nedzu's office.

A few minutes later Himiko walked out and sat down.

"How is Himiko today?" Emi asked.

"Meh." Himiko said taking out an artificial blood pack. She took a sip and blanched at the taste.

"Something wrong Himiko?"

"The artificial blood tastes weird. I know that Recovery Girl says that I need to get my nutrients back up, but these taste like crap."

Emi was shocked. This was the most Himiko had ever talked to her. 'Huh. I guess Nedzu sensei is having a positive influence on her.'

All Might and Bakugo walked into Principal Nedzu's office.

"Ahh. All Might. What can I help you with?"

"I have distressing news Sensei."

"What is it?"

"Would you like to tell him Young Bakugo, or would you like me to tell him?"

Bakugo looked away in shame.

"It would appear that Young Bakugo told Young Midoriya to 'Jump off the roof at Aldera Junior High and pray for a Quirk in the next life.'."

"Oh my." Nedzu said. "Did he try to?"

"Yes. If it wasn't for Anna and Elsa Martin, He might have succeeded."

"Oh my." Nedzu said folding his hands. "This is very serious. When did this happen?"

"Eighth grade." Bakugo mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Eighth grade." Bakugo said louder.

"Where were his friends?" All Might asked. "I can't see his friends letting you do that."

"They weren't there."

All Might and Nedzu rubbed their faces.

"Why would you do that?" Nedzu asked.

Bakugo went quiet.

"I think I understand. I do not want to expel you from UA. I think you have a bright future here, but you can't be around Young Midoriya. So. As I see it you have two options. You can either be taken out of the Hero Course and be put into the General Education course until you can prove that you are Hero Material. Or. You can be expelled from UA and try your hand at another Hero Academy. I should tell you that there are some conditions though. You will take a week's suspension, and when you go back into the Hero Course you will go into Class 1B."

Bakugo looked at Nedzu.

After school.

After the last bell Jason asked Momo if they could talk about class President business.

"What did you want to talk about?" Momo asked.

Jason opened his phone and showed her a list of their classmates.

"Yes? That's our class."

"Two things. First. As class president and Vice President, I think it is our duty to make sure that we acknowledge our classmates' birthdays. Nothing huge, but something like a card and a candy bar or something."

"I think that is a valid idea."

"Great. We need to find out what their favorite candy, treat, or snack is."

"I agree. We can do that tomorrow in class."

"Yeah. Next. I think we should try and get our classmates families here to support them for the Sports Festival."

"I think that's a wonderful idea. You are an excellent Class President."

"Thank you. When do you want to meet to plan this?"

"Tomorrow or the day after?"

"That should work."

"Very well. I will see you tomorrow, Jason."

"Goodbye Yaoyorozu."

"You can call me Momo."

"Oh. Okay. Goodbye Momo."

After Momo left Jason went back to his room where the rest of his friends were doing homework.

He looked at his phone and saw that it was 3:15.

"Hey Rogue?"

"Yeah?"

"I need your help at 5:00."

"Okay. What's up?"

"You will need to borrow Eri's Quirk."

"Oookay?"

"I'll explain later." Jason walked over to Eri and knelt down. "Hey Eri, Can Rogue and I borrow your Quirk?"

"Why?" Eri asked shyly, hugging her knees to her chest.

"There is someone that I think your Quirk will be able to help."

"My Quirk doesn't help anyone. It's a curse that can only hurt people."

Jason felt Eri's self-hatred and disgust at herself, and wanted to torture the man who had hurt her. He wanted to discover new tortures just so he could torture him with torture that no one in the history of torture's been tortured with the torture like the torture he'd torture that monster with.

He picked her up and hugged her. "You matter." He spoke. "You are a person and deserve to be treated as one. You are too young to be in the kind of pain you're in. You didn't deserve what he did to you. It wasn't your fault."

This caught everyone by surprise.

Rogue touched Eri's hand with her uncovered one and got a swarm of emotions. Doubt, self-hatred, disgust, self-loathing. "Oh sugar." She spoke. "You are important, and cherished. You deserve..."

Rogue was interrupted when the door opened and Inko ran in.

"Izuku!" Inko yelled. "Why didn't you tell me!"

"Tell you what?" Izuku gulped.

"That Katsuki told you to Jump off Aldera Junior High and hope for a Quirk In the next life!"

Katsuki Bakugo walked into his house only to have his mom grab him by his ear and drag him towards her before smacking him upside the head.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Mitsuki Bakugo punched Katsuki in the head. "I GOT A CALL FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL SAYING THAT YOU TOLD IZUKU TO JUMP OFF THE ROOF OF YOUR SCHOOL IN EIGHTH GRADE! WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING!" Mitsuki slapped Katsuki. "I ALWAYS HATED YOUR TEACHERS FOR MAKING YOU THINK YOU WERE GODS GIFT TO EARTH, BUT THIS BULLSHIT CROSSES THE FUCKING LINE!" Mitsuki punched Katsuki in the head. "GET TO YOUR FUCKING ROOM! YOUR GROUNDED UNTIL YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL! NO I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR! YOU'RE GROUNDED UNTIL I SAY SO! NOW I HAVE TO CALL INKO AND APOLOGIZE FOR YOU!"

Katsuki walked past the kitchen and saw his dad.

His dad looked pissed but ignored him. As much as the hag's physical abuse hurt, his dads silent treatment hurt worse than any physical abuse the hag could put him through. His dad was always quiet, but when he went completely silent it was the worst. Maybe if his dad had been left in charge of his punishment instead of his mom then he wouldn't have turned out like this.

Mitsuki picked up the phone and dialed Inko's number.

Inko picked up her phone after the third ring and heard heavy breathing. "Hello?" She asked.

"Hey Inko." Mitsuki said in a tired voice.

"Oh. Hello Mitsuki. How are you doing?"

"First off let me just say how sorry I am for my little shit of a kid."

"Sorry for what?"

"You didn't know that Katsuki told Izuku to jump off the school roof?"

"HE WHAT!" Inko asked worried.

"Yeah. In Junior High. I swear that I only found out today. If I had known, then I'd have taken care of it sooner."

"I know Mitsuki, but I have to find Izuku, and get to the bottom of this."

"I understand. Maybe I can call you tomorrow? If not I'll talk to you on Tuesday."

"Yeah." Inko said. "Talk to you tomorrow." Inko hung up and ran to find Izuku.

The friends were trying to comfort Eri when Inko ran in

"Izuku!" Inko yelled. "Why didn't you tell me!"

"Tell you what?" He gulped.

"That Katsuki told you to Jump off Aldera Junior High and hope for a Quirk In the next life!"

Izuku gulped. "I um..."

"Izuku. How much have you been hiding from me?"

"We might want to go back to our room." Izuku shook.

Jason looked over at Izuku.

Inko and Izuku left the room.

"What do you think happened?"

"I don't know." Jason said.

"Is Izuku in trouble?" Eri asked.

"No sugar." Rogue said. "He's not in trouble."

"Okay."

Jason looked at his phone.

"Come on Rogue. It's time to go."

"Okay. Hey Eri. Want to come with us?"

"I don't know."

"You don't have to do something you don't want to." Jason said.

"I'll come with you." Eri said.

Jason put Eri on his back, piggyback style, and pulled a Hoodie over them before putting the hood on Eri. "Is this okay?" He asked.

"Uh huh." Eri said, holding onto his neck with all of her strength. Jason took the hoodie off and created a harness before tossing it at Elsa who froze it causing it to flash cool. She grabbed it from the air and tossed it back. "Want to feel?" Jason asked, holding the harness up to Eri.

Eri touched the harness. It felt warm, but not uncomfortable. "What is it?" She asked meekly.

"It's a harness. I'll put it on, and you'll sit inside against my back. That way you don't have to use so much energy to hold on."

"Okay."

Jason put the harness on and Rogue put Eri inside.

"You okay sugar?" Rogue asked Eri.

"Uh-huh."

"Okay. Hold on." Jason said, putting the oversized hoodie on again, covering Eri.

Jason and Rogue said their goodbyes before walking out, Eri hidden and holding onto Jason's neck, despite the harness.

Once outside Rogue picked Jason and Eri up before flying them towards Dagoba beach.

Touya walked towards Dagoba beach.

'I don't even know why I'm doing this. The kid will probably be a no show.'

"Hey." A voice said.

Touya turned around to see a man with light blue hair and a hoodie covering his face.

"Do I know you?"

"No, but I know you. I have a Party Invite ."

"Come talk to me tomorrow."

"Are you sure? The invite might not be available tomorrow."

"I'm supposed to be meeting someone."

"Fine, but you don't know what you're missing. It might be game over though."

"Meet me tomorrow."

Fine." The man pouted before walking away.

Touya shook his head and continued walking towards Dagoba beach. When he got there, he saw a couple waiting there.

"Are you the guy I met last night?" He asked.

"I am." The same voice said from under a helmet.

"Who's she?"

"She's the one who can help you."

"How?"

"Can I show you?" The girl asked.

"You can show me anything you like." He said suggestively.

The girl walked up to him. "This might hurt a little." She spoke.

"I'm used to pain."

The girl touched his chest and activated Eri's Quirk.

Jason and Rogue landed at Dagoba beach three minutes before 5:00.

"Eri?" Rogue asked. "Is it okay if I borrow your Quirk now?"

"Uh huh." Eri said from Jason's back.

"Give me your hand sugar."

Eri reached out of Jason's hoodie and let Rogue touch her hand.

Rogue borrowed Eri's Quirk and they waited.

While they waited Jason created his helmet.

They only had to wait until 5:02.

A man with scars over his body walked up to him.

"Are you the guy I met last night?" Touya asked.

"I am." Jason said.

"Who's she?" Touya asked.

"She's the one who can help you."

"How?"

"Can I show you?" Rogue asked.

"You can show me anything you like." Touya said suggestively.

Rogue walked up to Touya. "This might hurt a little."

"I'm used to pain."

Rogue touched Touya's chest and activated Eri's Quirk.

Touya felt pain like he'd never felt before. It felt like he was being... undone? The pain became so intense that he thought he was going to pass out. Images of Endeavor flashed through his memories, and he bit back the pain. He let rage take over and fought through the pain.

When Rogue stopped, she looked at Touya. Not as the scarred man he had been, but as a renewed individual.

"You clean up nice hon."

Touya looked down and saw that he was sweating profusely. The staples that had been holding his scars in place were on the ground with flecks of his blood. He looked at his hands and saw they were scar free. He tore off his shirt and saw his arms were healed. He took his phone out and activated the front camera looking at his face. All of his scars were gone. "Ho-how did you do that?"

"I reversed your injuries." Rogue said.

He looked at her in shock.

"How's the pain?" Jason asked.

"It's gone." Touya said in awe.

"Good. Now..." Jason took out his phone and showed Touya a picture of Shoto.

Touya looked at Shoto's school I.D. And felt rage engulf him. The last time he'd seen Shoto, his youngest brother was happy and smiling. He didn't have a scar over his eye. Touya's rage blinded him, and he flashed back to better days.

"Get out Touya!" Shoto yelled pushing Touya out of his room. "Get out! Get out! Can't you go any faster!"

"Oh no." Touya said. "Gravity... it's increasing on me." Touya fell on Shoto.

"No, it's not!" Shoto yelled.

"Uh huh." Touya said indignantly. "The same thing happened yesterday." Touya said completely falling on Shoto.

"You rotten brother!" Shoto yelled.

"How sad for you." Touya snarked.

Shoto crawled out from under Touya and walked into his room. "Why are you so weird!" He yelled before slamming the sliding door on Touya's head.

Touya smiled at the memory and felt tears roll down his cheeks.

He saw Shoto sitting on the couch, curled up in a blanket, crying. "Hey there buddy." He spoke.

"He hurt you again." Shoto said with tears in his eyes.

"It's not that bad."

"Why does he hurt you?"

"He wants me to be stronger than All Might."

"But All Might's the strongest."

"Don't worry about that. Want to watch a movie?"

Shoto nodded his head.

"Great. You pick the movie while I go get snacks. "

Touya grabbed a few juice boxes, Hi-chew, Pocky, and rice cakes. When he went back to the den, he saw that Shoto had picked out 'The Little Mermaid.' He sat down and opened two juice boxes and Pocky and they watched 'The Little Mermaid.'

Touya had just finished a training session with Endeavor and was outside with his younger siblings.

He sparked his blue fire Quirk to life.

Shoto was so intrigued by his blue flames that he reached forward.

Touya and Shoto were filled with so much light back then, and Endeavor snuffed it out.

Touya looked at the people standing in front of him. "Where's Endeavor!" He demanded.

"Not sure where he lives, but Shoto goes to UA. I'm sure if you go there then you could talk to Shoto." Rogue said.

"Would he even remember me?"

"I don't know, but you could at least talk to him."

"Fine. I'll come talk to him tomorrow, but Endeavor has to die!"

"Agreed." Jason said.

Touya looked at himself in the camera again.

He wasn't in pain anymore. He didn't need painkillers anymore. He was able to use his Quirk without pain again.

"Do you need a place to stay tonight?" Jason asked.

"I've got a place."

"Is it on the streets?"

Touya went quiet before saying: "I have a friends house I can stay at."

"What should we do?" Rogue asked.

"Guy's. Don't worry. I'll be at UA tomorrow to talk to Shoto. I won't do something stupid and go to kill Endeavor yet. I want to crush him and take everything that matters to him!"

"I'll help." Jason said.

"Why? What did Endeavor do to you?"

"To me? Nothing. To his family... He needs to be put down."

Touya looked at Jason. 'Who is this guy?' He asked himself. 'Willing to take on the number two pro Hero.'

"We have to get going." Rogue said.

"Okay. Thank you again for what you did."

"You're welcome." Rogue said before picking Jason up and flew away.

Touya watched as Jason and Rogue flew off before walking away from the beach. 'I'll see you tomorrow Shoto.'

Johnny was in the garage at UA.

"You aren't backing down, now, are you?" Zarathos asked.

"No. It's just been while since we've gone hunting."

"Well, the sooner we..."

Johnny and Zarathos felt an immense pressure. Johnny's flesh began melting away as Zarathos took over leaving pale white bone in its place. As Zarathos awoke a spark flashed across his eye's, and his skull ignited in flames.

Ghost Rider walked towards his bike, and pulled his chain out of his left saddlebag, and slung it over his right shoulder to his left hip. He took his shotgun out of his right saddlebag and slung it over his left shoulder to right hip. His bike became demonic as he straddled the seat.

Ghost Rider tore out of the garage and towards the area the pressure was coming from. He tore through the streets of Musutafu and moved towards the soul of the innocent. When he arrived at the area where the innocent soul was at, he got off his bike and walked towards a body.

He saw that the victim was a woman. Her body had been ravaged.

Ghost Rider growled. He walked back to his bike and pulled an emergency blanket out of his left saddlebag and opened it before covering the woman's body.

"You... Innocent. I will avenge you."

He looked over and saw markings in the ground. He grew his flames brighter, and he saw writing. He walked around and saw writing carved into the ground.

Quirk-less must die

When Johnny saw that through the Riders eye's he felt rage build in the pit of his stomach, and he let out a roar that that shook passers-by to their bones. He jumped on his bike and followed the stench of this injustice and evil.

As he tore off, it began raining. He drove through the rain following the stench of injustice and ended up at a bar. He walked up to the door and knocked. A small panel opened up showing a man's eyes. Johnny felt like he'd been slapped with wickedness. 'Can I kill them?' Zarathos asked.

'I'm tempted to let you."

"What!" The man demanded.

"You... Guilty!" Zarathos yelled, kicking the door off its hinges and running into the bar. When he got into the Bar he looked around and saw five threats.

"All of you... Guilty!"

One of them grabbed a pole and changed it into a Katana.

Another changed his body into yellow gas.

A third changed his arms into swords

A fourth changed his hands into guns.

A woman changed her hair into barbed wire.

Johnny and Zarathos connected the injuries from the woman in the alley to their weapons.

"I'm going to kill you first." He said swinging his chain whip through the air at the woman.

The woman threw her barbed wire hair and tangled up Johnny's chain.

Ghost Rider pulled hard, pulling the woman towards his. "Your soul is stained with the blood of the innocent. Look into my eyes and feel their pain!"

The woman shrieked in agony as her soul was seared with the pain of the innocent.

The man with the Quirk that changed himself into gas surrounded Ghost Rider.

Ghost Rider spun his whip in a circle creating a funnel and sending fire into it.

The gas screamed as he burned.

The Villain with swords for arms ran at Johnny only to get shot in the face with hellfire powered buckshot.

"Screw this!" The first guy yelled running.

Ghost Rider flicked his chain, and wrapped it around the man, and pulled cutting him in half and cauterizing the wounds.

The man with the guns looked at Ghost Rider before running.

Ghost Rider grabbed him and pulled him towards him.

"Your soul is stained with the blood of the innocent. Look into my eyes and feel their pain!"

Ghost Rider walked out of the bar as the man's screams died down.

"Villains beware... the Ghost Rider." He said as he got onto his bike and drove off into the night.

Graydon walked into his apartment that night and saw his parents getting ready for tomorrow. His father was assembling a custom gun that he could hide under his trench coat His mother was looking at a picture of the girl... Eri? He thought was her name. His mother became Eri and aged her to his mother's age and added a few finishing touches, so she didn't look like an exact replica of Eri.

"How was school?" His mother asked.

"Not bad. I got into a fight with the girls current guardian."

"And?"

"I let him win." He said before grabbing a pair of weights and doing some curls.

"Why?" His father snarled looking at the 100-pound weights his son was curling. "You could have beaten him easily. With my strength, your mother's flexibility, and Quirk. You should have crushed his bones into dust."

"His Quirk is difficult to work around." He said showing them his burnt pant leg.

"So, he's got a fire Quirk. Who cares!"

"He can produce flaming armor."

His mother looked at him. "That's going to be problematic."

"Just turn into someone with fireproof skin."

"It doesn't work like that Creed."

"Why not?"

"Just because we can make ourselves fireproof doesn't mean we can hold onto things that are hot. We have our limits."

"Fine." Creed growled.

"How are you getting in?" Graydon asked.

We sent out a call to the police today saying that we were looking for our daughter, and they were the next police station on our list."

"And they told you about her?"

"Yeah. Apparently, the principal had to let the police know even though he knows she was running from Overhaul."

"So, we go in, get the girl, and get out?"

"If we are lucky."

"Hopefully, they resist so I can crack some skulls." Creed said.

"I'm going to bed now."

"Good night." Raven said.

"Keep all that damn moaning down!" Creed growled after him.

"Then make my room soundproof!" Graydon yelled back.

"Let him be." Raven said.

"It's so weird. Did you ever do that?"

"Yes. I wanted to see why guys were always making a big deal about it. Girls have way more fun by the way."

Creed was repulsed by that. "You mean..."

"Yeah. He's probably figured that out by now."

"What!"

"If he chooses to use a female form when he's older we are going to support him!" Raven glared at her husband. "Right!?"

"But..."

Raven grabbed Creed and slammed his head into the table. "RIGHT?!"

"Right." Creed grumbled.

Graydon was on his room where he turned on his computer and opened some porn and played it. He opened his phone and began texting Overhaul.

Graydon Creed Jr.: can I get the cure now?

Overhaul: not yet. Get me Eri and I'll give it to you.

Graydon Creed Jr.: I'll get you Eri. Just make me normal again.

Overhaul: we have a deal. Remember.

Graydon Creed Jr.: yeah. We have a deal.

Graydon turned off his phone and went to bed.

Jason and Rogue were walking through a store. They had decided that since they were out and about, they might as well get Eri some actual clothes and toys and other things little girls needed.

"So." Rogue said swinging Eri with Jason as they walked.

"Yeah?" Jason asked.

"Is there a reason why your hoodie is like three sizes too big? You look like All Might sensei.

"You're just jealous that I can pull it off." Jason snarked.

"Okay. Yeah. Sure. I'm jealous that you can wear an oversized hoodie. Guess what? We all have oversized hoodies."

"Yeah, but I look fabulous in mine."

Rogue began laughing. "You did not just use the word fabulous."

"So, what if I did?"

"Are you turning into Yuga?"

Jason shuddered. "Not on your life. In fact, I bet that his Hero name will be something like 'Twinkle-Shine' or something like that."

Rogue laughed harder. "Or what about 'I CAN'T STOP SHINING!'?"

It was Jason's turn to laugh. "Or what about 'I CAN'T STOP SPARKLING'?"

The two laughed a good long laugh.

"Thank you." Jason said wiping a tear away. "I needed that."

"You're welcome."

"What's so funny?" Eri asked them.

"Just someone in our class." Jason said.

"Oh. Okay."

Jason heard a scoff.

"Is that your daughter?" An older woman asked.

"Yes ma'am." Jason said seriously. "We had her when we were ten years old!"

The woman looked scandalized.

"No, you stupid shit!" He growled. "This is my five-year-old cousin, and she's one of my best friends! Now do yourself a favor and don't assume because it makes an ass out of both of us!"

The trio walked away to the clothing aisle.

"See anything you like Eri?" Jason asked.

Eri and Jason walked down the aisle while Rogue went to get a cart.

"What do you want?" Jason asked looking at all of the shirts and clothes.

Eri grabbed a shirt and pulled a shirt off of the rack.

Jason grabbed it and saw the little ponies on the front of the shirt.

"You sure?"

"Uh huh." Eri nodded.

They walked through the clothes.

Every time Eri saw something she liked they put it in the cart.

Rogue helped Eri pick out underwear because Jason had no idea what to do there.

"It's not that hard sugar." Rogue said holding up the girl's underwear. "Or is this because your embarrassed to touch girl's underwear?"

"First off." Jason said. "I'm not Mineta. Second. I have no idea what to do."

He lowered his voice and whispered. "I was fifteen when I died."

"So? Johnny was single, and I didn't have a kid, yet I can touch guys underwear just fine."

"I think you're missing the point."

"No." Rogue said. "I think you are." She said tossing the underwear at him.

Jason caught the pack and put it in the cart.

They moved onto socks and shoes.

Eri picked up some shoes that had lights in the heels.

Rogue put them on Eri, and they watched as Eri ran through the store fascinated by the light up heels.

They walked towards the toy aisle and let Eri pick out some toys.

"What do you want Eri?" Rogue asked pointing at the toys.

"They don't have you guys." She said pointing at the Hero toys.

"What?" Jason asked.

"They don't have you guys."

"We aren't Heroes yet hon." Rogue said picking Eri up. "They only make toys of Heroes."

"I want you guys."

"How about this." Jason said. "Tomorrow we will ask Momo if she can make toys of us. How's that?"

"Yay!" Eri shouted, smiling for the first time. It felt odd, her face pulling in opposite directions.

Jason and Rogue looked at each other.

"She Just smiled!" Rogue said. "She just smiled!"

She took out her phone and turned on the video camera.

"Eri? Do you want toys of us?"

"Yeah!" Eri smiled again. She liked it.

Rogue laughed as she sent the video to their friends.

Jason called Momo on his phone while Rogue was taking pictures of Eri smiling.

"Momo!" He yelled into the phone when she answered.

"Yes?" Momo asked when her hearing came back.

"Can you make toys!?"

"Um... in what capacity?" She asked.

"Children's toys."

"If I had the specifications for them then yes."

"Great. Can you meet me tomorrow morning before class?"

"I suppose so. What is this about?"

"It's about Eri."

"Oh. Then yes. I can."

"Great. See you tomorrow."

"Okay. Goodbye."

"Bye."

The trio made their way to the front of the store to check out.

The parents in the toy section looked at the trio with nostalgia in their eyes. They remembered what it was like to have young children.

Jason and Rogue got to the check out.

"33,713.76 Yen." The cashier said after she scanned their purchases.

Jason took out a credit card and swiped it.

The cashier gave him the receipt.

Rogue and Jason grabbed the bags and went outside.

"Come on Eri." Jason said pulling his hoodie up and letting Rogue put Eri on Jason's back.

Jason pulled his hoodie down over Eri, and they headed back towards UA.

Mineta was walking around Musutafu when he was approached by a figure cloaked in shadows.

"Hey." The figure said.

"You lied to me!" Mineta yelled. "You told me that if I helped you guys that I would be put in with Anna, I could rescue her, and be seen as the hero, and she would do whatever I wanted, but she didn't! I got expelled because of you!"

"What if I said that you could still get the girl?"

Mineta began drooling. "Really? I can still get Anna?"

"Yeah. We are planning an assault. You will be able to get your hands on your girl."

"I'm in."

"Then let's go."

Mineta and the figure walked into the darkness of the alley disappearing into the shadows.

Inko picked up the phone and called Hisashi. What was she going to tell him? She covered her mouth with her hand and felt the tears start.

"Hello?" Hisashi said in a tired voice.

"Hisashi." Inko said, her voice breaking.

"What happened?" Hisashi asked, completely awake when he heard his wife crying. "What's wrong?"

"I just found out that Katsuki told Izuku to throw himself off Aldera Jr. High and pray for a Quirk in the next life when they were in eighth grade."

Hisashi was horrified. Katsuki? Izuku's best friend? Had told him to kill himself. "What?" He asked, horrified. "Izuku tried killing himself?"

"Yes1" Inko sobbed. "Our baby..." She took in a deep shuddering breath to try getting her tears under control, but it didn't help. "Our baby tried killing himself."

Hisashi was horrified. He knew that Izuku's Quirk came in late because his body wasn't ready to handle it's power, but the bullying had gotten so bad that he thought the only way out was to kill himself. It broke his heart and made him so made. If it wasn't for the fact that Masaru and Mitsuki would deal with Katsuki then He ould have paid the boy a visit during his next trip. "Inko. Do I need to come home?" That may have been sooner rather than later.

"No, no. Just stay where you are. Mitsuki will take care of it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Are you going to sue Aldera? You'd win."

"I think so. If it happened to Izuku, then who knows who else it's happened to or happening to?"

"Aldera will be scrap by the time you're finished with them."

"I should let you get back to bed." Inko said.

"Actually, I need to get up anyways. Got to get ready for work."

"Oh. That reminds me. Are you still working for Willis Todd?"

"Yeah? Why?"

"He put out a kill order on Jason and Sheila."

"HE WHAT!"

Inko started crying again. "Sheila's dead Hisashi!" She sobbed into the phone.

"NO! Not Sheila! How's Jason!?!"

Inko nodded and wiped her eyes. "Sheila wasn't killed by Willis or anyone. She died because of a man hunting a poor little girl. He touched her, and she was killed."

Hisashi closed his eyes and covered his eyes. He prayed to Kami for the man's arrest or painful death. "How's Jason doing?"

"Not well. He's trying to be brave, but you can tell that he's not handling it well. He doesn't know how to process things, and according to Izuku one of his classmates put flowers on his desk the other day."

Hisashi clenched his hand into a fist. "Hold on Inko. I need to take care of something." He walked over to the window of his apartment and opened it before blasting a gout of flame into the air with a shout of rage. Why did it seem like Jason was getting the sort end of the stick all of the sudden?

Inko heard Hisashi yelling over the line, which meant he was probably using his Quirk to blow off some steam.

"I'm back." Hisashi said in a raspy voice. "I'm sorry to hear that. Jason is a good kid. He didn't deserve that."

"No, no he didn't."

"Are you sure that you don't want me to take time off?" Hisashi asked.

"No, no. Were fine. Just come back whenever you have vacation next."

That most likely meant the last two weeks of the year.

"Okay."

"We might have custody of Jason." Inko said. "It was in Sheila's will."

"Okay." Hisashi said. What else could he say to that?

"I better let you go. I don't want to make you late for work."

"Okay. I'll talk to you later."

"Goodbye."

"Bye." Hisashi dressed for the Gym. He was going to put in his two weeks. He'd go back to Japan, get another job there so he could be closer to his family, especially if they were going to be taking care of Jason. It would be good for him to have support. He also refused to work for a man who had a kill order put out on his own son. He just wished that he could end Willis Todd's existance, but for a businessman he had more bodyguards that a normal businessman should have.

As hisashi walked out the door he didn't notice the Hero's silhouette in the background. So stuck in his thoughts was he that he missed the signal in the sky shining against the grey clouds.

Chapter 16: Assault

Graydon Creed Sr., Raven, and Graydon Creed Jr. try taking Eri and get more than they bargained for. Eri gets taken, Jason gets hurt, Monoma is Monoma, Himiko is Himoko, and Rogue has a panic attack.

Chapter Text

AN: I don't own the characters used in this fic. They belong to their creators.

The next morning.

Jason met Momo in Class 1A the next morning.

"Good morning, Jason." Momo said. "What toys did you want to make?"

"Good morning, Momo." Jason said pulling out a greasy McDonalds breakfast and put it on the table. "In case you need a recharge."

"Thank you. Now. What did you need me to make?"

Jason pulled up a picture of Barbie's and G.I. Joe. "I need toys made like this, but they need outfits like our uniforms and Hero Costumes."

"How many?"

"Twenty-six. Can you start by making ones for Anna, Elsa, Izuku, Myself, Johnny, and Rogue before making the others in our class?"

"Yes, but why twenty-six?"

"You make one for each of us and our classmates, Himiko, and Aizawa Sensei."

"Oh. Then yes. When do you need them?"

"As soon as you can safely get them to me."

"Okay. I'll do my best."

"Of that I have no doubt."

Momo looked at the picture of the G.I. Joe and Barbie dolls before she pulled a Barbie doll that looked like Rogue out of her arm. "How's this?"

"Great. Can you make her a school uniform?"

Momo concentrated and pulled a complete school uniform and Gym uniform out of her arm. "Do you have a picture of Rogue's Hero Costume?"

Jason scrolled through his phone and showed her a picture of Rogue wearing her Hero Costume.

Momo created it.

"Thank you." Jason said.

Momo concentrated and made a G.I. Joe. Next, she made the school uniform, the gym uniform, and Jason's Hero Costume. Next, she made Anna and Elsa with their uniforms, gym uniforms, and their Hero Costumes. She made Rogue and Johnny with their uniforms, gym uniforms and Hero Costumes. The last one she made was Midoriya with his Uniform, gym uniform, and Hero Costume. "I think I'm at my limit." She said with a bead of sweat on her brow.

"Don't worry. You did great. Eat up."

"Do you want to go over the list of Classmates birthdays while I eat?"

"Sure." Jason agreed.

They sat down and Jason took out a calendar from his bag and his wrist computer. He typed in a few commands and pulled up the classmates' birthdays. "Okay. We need to ask everyone in class today about their favorite treat or something."

"Agreed." Momo agreed.

Jason showed her the list of names and birthdays.

Momo wrote each name and date on her personal calendar.

Jason looked at her Calendar and copied the names and dates to his personal Calendar.

"When Aizawa Sensei asks for any announcements, we will send out this." Jason said, handing her a sheet of paper.

"Favorite candy bar? It's on point, but it sounds a little odd."

"Yeah. If you have a better way to say this."

Momo took out a piece of paper. "What if we just send the paper around and ask them to right their favorite snack on it?"

"That works."

They got ready for class and waited.

Touya was waiting outside UA when he saw Shoto walking towards him, more the school, but still in his general direction.

"Shoto." He called out to his brother.

Shoto looked at him. "Yes?" He asked.

"I don't suppose you remember who I am."

Shoto looked at him. "You look familiar, but I can't place you."

Touya growled inwardly at Endeavor. "I'm... this might be hard to hear, but I'm... I'm your older brother."

Shoto looked at Touya. His hair, which had been dyed white looked like his mother's shade.

"Are you older than Natsuo and Fuyumi?"

"Yes. I'm the oldest."

"I don't really remember you. I'm sorry. You do look familiar, but I just can't place you."

"I see. What happened to mom?"

Shoto became quiet. "She's..."

"Did Endeavor kill her?"

"No, but he beat her until she had a mental breakdown and did this." He said moving his hair to show the burn Mark.

Touya clenched his fists in rage and blue flames erupted from his hands.

"What did he do to her?"

"He beat her and put her in a hospital."

"Where?"

Shoto looked down. "I don't know. He wouldn't tell me. He told me that she was a hazard to my health."

"FUCK THAT! He's a hazard to your health! I'm going to find her. When I do, I'll take you to her. We are going to get her out of that hospital!"

"What about him?"

"I'm going to take everything he holds close. I'm going to take you guys away from him. I just need time to do that."

"Do you think you could do it by the time the sports Festival comes around?"

"I'm going to try."

"Okay. Even if you aren't my brother. I'll take any excuse to get away from Endeavor."

Touya took out a box of Pocky. He took one and held it out for Shoto.

Shoto saw the box and flashed back to him and Touya watching 'The Little Mermaid' and eating Pocky. "Touya?" He asked.

"Yes. Do you remember me now?"

"I remember watching 'The Little Mermaid' and eating Pocky."

"We did that a lot. It was your favorite movie because Ariel didn't take shit from her dad. You kind of wanted to be like her."

"What else?"

"Don't you need to get to class?"

"You can walk with me." He spoke.

The two walked through the gates talking.

"You were so entranced with my Quirk. You liked your Quirk, but my Quirk was different, and you liked the blue hue to my fire."

"What else."

"Ah. Todoroki Kun." Principal Nedzu said walking up to them. "I believe your brother has to get to class and you have that meeting with me this morning."

"Um. Yeah. Right." Touya said. "I'll see you later Shoto."

"Bye Touya." Shoto said.

The two brothers went their separate ways.

When Nedzu led Touya into his office he became a little worried. "We didn't have a meeting."

"I know. Were you serious about getting your family away from Endeavor?"

"How did you..."

"I am not stupid." Nedzu said. "I know what's going on with your family."

"Then why the hell..."

"Please let me finish." Nedzu said putting a hand up. "The reason we haven't taken action against Endeavor is for two reasons. The most important being that your family is not stable enough to be out on their own. Endeavor made sure of that."

"What did he do to them?"

"He's made them solely reliant on him. He uses Fuyumi and Natsuo as leverage against Shoto, and vice versa."

"How long have you known this?"

"Since young Shoto started here. I may seem like an average talking rodent, but I assure you that I know more than I say and see more than I let on. I also have access to security cameras. I watched and recorded your conversation with young Shoto. That's how I knew to get you."

"You said that there were two reasons why you couldn't act against Endeavor. What's the second reason?"

"The Hero Commission won't let us. All Might is retiring, and they need someone strong to show that Heroes are still able to keep them safe."

"By putting that piece of shit trash fire at the top!"

"This brings me to my offer."

"Offer? What offer?"

"Come work at UA. You would get to spend time with Shoto, save money to get a place for your family, and your Criminal past could be expunged... Dabi."

"How do you..."

"I told you, I know more than I let on."

"What would I be doing?"

"You would be a teacher's assistant to All Might."

"Really? To All Might?"

"Yes."

"Would I be able to save up enough to get my family away from Endeavor by time the sports Festival comes around?"

"We can try and help you get enough by the time the students come back from their internships. If all else fails, we will go to option two."

"Option two?"

"Selling Endeavor's house and using that money to buy another one."

"I like option two."

I thought that you might, but. First things first. We need to bring you back from the dead."

"Probably a good idea. "

Nedzu's phone rang. "One moment please." He pressed the intercom button. "Yes Emi." He said into his intercom.

"Principal Nedzu." Emi said. "There is a couple here to see you. They say it's about their daughter. They came in with Graydon Creed."

"Send them in."

"Very well."

A couple came into the room.

"where's my daughter!?!" A woman who looked like Eri asked in a panic.

"Creed San." Nedzu said in a careful tone. "I am so glad that you came. I will have Eri brought up to the office." He said calling Shota's room. "Shota. Could you have Todd-Kun bring Eri up to the office please?"

"Of course, Sensei." Aizawa said without missing a beat.

"Thank you." Nedzu said, hanging up. "Please sit while we wait." Nedzu offered a chair.

"How can I wait another second when I've been trying to find my daughter all this time?" The woman asked.

"How long has she been missing?" Nedzu asked.

"A little over six months. we tried finding her, but the police gave up hope."

"I'm terribly sorry. I can't imagine what that must have been like."

"There were a lot if sleepless nights."

Nedzu paid attention to everything in the room and looked over at Touya who gave him a slight shake of his head. He was about to say something when there was a knock at the door. "Come in."

The door opened to reveal Jason holding Eri and the woman looked at Eri. "Oh my gosh! Eri, are you okay? we've been searching everywhere for you."

Eri pushed herself into Jason, and Jason began backing up slowly, positioning Eri so he could caver her with his own body if he needed to.

"Okay." The man who claimed to be Eri's father said. "We tried it your way. now we try it mine." He said pulling a custom-built shotgun out of his jacket.

"How the hell did he get a gun in here!" Touya yelled flaring up.

Jason spun around created the back of his armor and stood between Eri, Emi, and Nedzu's office.

Nedzu looked at the Situation unfolding before him. "Oh dear. I wish I had thought about getting back up... Oh wait. I did." He smiled an evil smile.

Rogue flew into the office and ripped the shotgun out of Creeds hands before she broke it in half.

"Raven!" Creed yelled, causing Jason and Rogue to look at each other.

Raven jumped up and grabbed Rogue before twisting in midair and spun her into the floor.

Creed ran outside and pushed Jason out of the way before manhandling him and ripping Eri out of his arms with a sickening pop before running.

"JASON!" Eri yelled.

"ERI!" Jason yelled, reaching for her to no avail as his arms were dislocated.

Jason was kicked in the back by someone who sent him into a wall.

Rolling over he saw Graydon Creed Jr. who had a smirk on his face. "I'm going to break you." He snarled, swinging his arms and relocating his shoulders with a wince.

"If you can catch me." Graydon said, hopping around Jason and punching him when he got an opening.

"You talk too much." Touya said, throwing a fireball at Graydon. "Go get the girl." He told Jason. "I'll keep this guy busy."

"Thanks." Jason nodded before going off after Creed.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Graydon asked.

"You should be." Touya said, surrounding himself with blue fire.

Rogue picked Raven up and threw her at the ground, but Raven twisted around her arm and latched onto her back.

"Let go!" Rogue yelled.

"Make me." Raven said.

Rogue slammed Raven into the ceiling before rolling over and slamming her into the floor.

"OW!" Raven yelled.

Rogue picked Raven up and slammed her into the floor before tossing her to the side at Nedzu's feet.

"Why did you try to take Eri-Chan?" Nedzu asked.

"She's, my daughter! Why wouldn't I..."

"No." Nedzu said in a harsh tone. "No, she is not. I knew from the second you walked in that you were not who you said you were."

"WHAT! How?"

Nedzu showed her his computer. It showed Graydon calling someone.

"She's here."

...

"Are you willing to wait until the sports Festival?"

...

"If you could be patient..."

...

"Okay, okay. Do whatever you need to do."

...

"All right. I'll pull the fire alarm or something. Send me a text when you're ready."

...

Graydon walked into Class 1B.

"I have camera's everywhere." Nedzu said. "Not a thing happens on my campus that I don't know about. You will never be getting that girl." Nedzu said in a truly terrifying voice. "Now. Tell me why you really want Eri-Chan." Nedzu said walking towards Raven.

Jason ran after Creed.

They were next to the Support classroom.

He couldn't attack him, otherwise he could hit Eri. He jumped onto the wall and jumped off grabbing Creed by the hair stopping him.

"JASON!" Eri yelled.

"Jason!" Kristoff yelled running out of the Support classroom.

"Kristoff! Get Eri to class 1A! Tell Anna and Elsa to protect her, and Himiko, Johnny, and Izuku to protect them!"

Kristoff grabbed Eri and was able to pull her from Creed's hands with Jason's help. He called Sven and jumped on his back holding Eri close and ran towards Class 1A.

"You're going to pay for that!" Creed yelled, grabbing Jason by his head and lifting him over his head. "Your armor may be superheated, but can it protect you from this!"

"No!" Jason panicked as he realized what was about to happen. "No! No! No! No! No!" He yelled as Creed brought him down on his knee, breaking his back before kicking him across the hall.

"AAAHHHH!" Jason yelled out in agony as his armor disappeared after he went into shock from the pain.

"Hopefully, that will keep you out of my way long enough for me to get the girl!" Creed said over his screams.

The other first year classes peaked their head out of their rooms.

"Well, well." Monoma said. "It looks like the 1A brats aren't as all powerful as they think. Do you need Recovery Girl?" He mocked.

A hand came down on Monoma's head. "He's got a broken back you ass!" A girl said trying to find some way to help him. "Go get Recovery Girl!"

A girl came out of the General Studies classroom. "I can help. I think."

"Do you need help?" The girl from 1B asked.

"Yes. Can you straighten his spine?"

"I can try."

The girl put her hands under Jason and made her hands grow before Jason was laying on both of her enlarged hands.

"What are you doing?" Vlad King asked harshly. "Wait for Recovery Girl!"

"I um... I can help him. My Quirk... um, my Quirk is Love... um, my Quirk is Loving Sacrifice. I can... um, I can use my stamina to... um, to heal another person. no matter how... um, how bad the injury."

"What's the downside?" Vlad asked.

"I get really tired, but... um, but Recovery Girl has given me some... um, some gummies to help with... um, to help with that." she said popping a gummy into her mouth.

The girl with the enlarged hands put Jason on the ground.

Jason hissed in agonizing pain.

The girl with the Loving Sacrifice Quirk held one hand towards Jason's legs and the other towards his head.

Jason felt like he was wrapped in a warm blanket. Tears rolling down his cheeks not from his broken back, but from the thought of failing Eri. From failing his mother. His Hero journey ended here. He hoped the others would protect Eri better than he could. "Sorry... Eri." He said before falling into unconciousness.

When Nedzu called class 1A and called Todd-Kun to come to the office it put them all on edge. They knew something was wrong.

Jason and Eri got up and nodded at Rogue.

Rogue walked outside with them.

"Something is wrong." Izuku said.

"Definitely." Johnny agreed.

"Doesn't Nedzu know that Jason's last name is Haywood?" Anna asked.

"Yeah." Elsa said.

Class 1A was on edge and tried concentrating on their work when they heard an ear-piercing shriek, causing Aizawa Sensei to ready his capture scarf.

"JASON!" His friends yelled, getting out of their seats, Johnny and Izuku dropping into fighting stances.

The door was ripped open, and Kristoff came in. "Anna! Elsa!" He yelled. " Jason told me to tell you to protect Eri, and for Himiko, Johnny, and Izuku to protect you!"

Anna grabbed Eri and took her to the back where Himiko was and Elsa created an ice barrier from the ceiling to the floor.

Johnny grabbed his chain from his bag and held it at the ready.

Izuku let One for All at 22 percent course through his veins and held his breath to use Dragon Breath.

The door opened and a man who looked like a heavy metal rock star ran in.

Izuku blasted him with Dragon Breath causing him to flinch allowing Johnny to throw his chain catching the man around the waist and pulling it tight.

Aizawa was up and threw his capture weapon at the man before glaring at him.

The man pulled against Johnny and Aizawa with incredible strength.

"SMASH!" Izuku yelled punching the man with One for All 22 percent.

The man let himself go slack and was sent flying out of the room, dragging Johnny and Aizawa with him.

Creed reached down and grabbed their heads smashing them together before throwing them down the hall before walking back into the room and saw the remainder of class 1A. "Give me the girl or I will kill everyone in this room."

"If I go with you..." Eri said. "... Will you leave them alone?"

DON'T DO IT!" Class 1A yelled in unison.

Izuku reached for Eri, but she smiled at him. It wasn't the smile a five-year-old girl should be smiling, and he realized that it was Himiko. "Eri don't." He said sadly.

"Get over here girly!" Creed growled, one hundred and ten percent done with the day, and it wasn't even 9:00 yet.

Eri walked up to the man while the other students grit their teeth in anger.

The man grabbed Eri and pulled her into his arms. "Don't follow... AHH!" He yelled when he felt knives stab into him.

Eri was stabbing the man and laughing a murderous laugh as she smiled. "THIS IS FOR HURTING JASON!" She yelled, slicing his face open. "AND THIS IS FOR HURTING JOHNNY AND AIZAWA SENSEI!" She cut across his eyes. "AND THIS IS FOR TRYING TO KIDNAP ERI!" She yelled stabbing her knives into his chest.

Creed grabbed Eri and threw her into the kid who breathed fire on him and pulled the knives out of his chest.

Kirishima ran at the man hardening his fists and punching him before Momo created capture tape, she didn't have the knowledge of how to make Quirk suppressing handcuffs, something she would need to learn how to make now, and threw it at Iida who ran around him and tied him in said capture tape.

A glacier of ice shot off towards the man and encased him in ice.

"Combo Move: Arctic Downpour!" Anna and Elsa yelled adding another Layer to the ice prison.

Izuku got up with Eri cuddling his chest and hugging him. He was smart enough to realize that this was Himiko. "Hi-Him-Himiko!" He yelled, blushing!

"Hi Izuku." Himiko smiled up at him covered in the man's blood. "Can I stay like this for a while?"

Izuku felt like he was going to die of embarrassment right then.

"What happened?" Denki asked. "Did Himiko turn into Eri, or did Eri snap?"

"I'm Himiko." Himiko said waving at the class, still looking like Eri.

"How?"

Anna and Elsa grabbed Eri and took her to the back of the class where Himiko was, and Elsa created an Ice Barrier from the floor to the ceiling.

"What's wrong?" Eri asked. "What happened to Jason? Why did he scream? Why are the bad people here? I thought I was safe."

"You are safe." Himiko said. "Eri. Can I borrow your blood?"

"What? Why?"

"My Quirk lets me copy people if I drink their blood."

"Will it hurt?"

"Only for a second."

"Okay." Eri said sadly.

Himiko took one of Eri's fingers and put it in her mouth next to her sharpened Canine, and bit down only hard enough to break the skin.

Eri cringed at the pressure but sat still.

Himiko tasted Eri's blood and felt weird. Eri's blood tasted... wrong. She couldn't explain why, but it tasted bad. After Himiko drank enough of Eri's blood she concentrated, but it felt weird, like she couldn't access her Quirk. Eventually she found it and activated it. She shrunk down to Eri's size. Her hair became long and grey-ish white. A horn appeared on her head, and she was wearing A pair of light up sneakers with a pink frilly skirt and a shirt with Rainbow Dash on it. "Open the ice enough for me to get out, and close it backs up when I leave." Himiko said in Eri's voice.

"Right." Elsa said.

When Himiko left Elsa created a slot in the ice to watch what was happening.

They watched Himiko attack the man before she was thrown away and their classmates reacted.

After they saw Todoroki freeze the man Elsa melted the ice, and the sisters grabbed hands before shouting... "Combo Move: Arctic Downpour!" Freezing the man in a second layer of ice.

"And that's what happened." Himiko said.

"Whoa!" Kirishima said. "Sacrificing yourself to keep a little girl safe. So manly!"

"I'm going to stay like this for a while." Himiko said making herself comfortable on Izuku's lap.

She smiled a cruel smile when she realized that Izuku couldn't go anywhere because of the way she kept moving. She was going to give him so much trouble for it.

Rogue looked down at the woman who wanted to kidnap Eri, disgusted. "Why did you want to kidnap a little girl!" she demanded.

"You can try to make me talk, but I won't."

"You don't need to." She spoke.

Touya tossed a smoking Graydon into the room. "This guy wasn't much of a challenge. Only reason he gave Jason trouble was because he had two dislocated arms, and was caught off guard."

Rogue looked at Graydon with burning hatred in her eyes. "You!" She seethed.

"You tell me what I want to know..." Rogue grabbed Graydon by the face, and lifted him into the air with no trouble. "...otherwise, I'm going to drain him of his life energy! I'll fucking kill him, I swear to God I'll kill him!"

"You wouldn't!" Raven exclaimed.

"Fuckin' try me bitch!"

"No! He's my son! please! Don't hurt him!"

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU GOING TO DO TO ERI!"

"I can't tell you. Overhaul would kill me."

Graydon groaned as Rogue began draining him of his life force.

"Eri's blood! He wants her for her blood!"

"Why?" Rogue asked continuing to drain Graydon.

"He said that her blood can take away Quirks!"

Rogue was so shocked that she dropped Graydon. She began hyperventilating. It was a cure! Overhaul had a cure! It was just like her world. They made a cure! They were going to "cure" them and kill them, just like 'M' Day. It was a cure!

"Rogue!" Nedzu said, snapping her out of her panic attack.

"What?" Rogue asked, breathing heavily.

"Go sit in the waiting area please."

Rogue went and sat in the waiting area, putting her head in between her knees and breathing. She had to do something. Overhaul couldn't keep that cure. He had to die. Overhaul had to die. They needed to stop him.

Jason woke up feeling like there was nothing wrong in the world. He felt better than he had in a long time. "Where... am I?" He asked.

"Good." Recovery Girl said. "You're awake."

That brought him back to reality and he remembered Creed breaking his back. "Will I be able to walk again?" he asked, expecting the worst-case scenario.

"Yes, and you're lucky. If Honjou-Chan hadn't used her Quirk, you probably wouldn't be able to walk for a long time."

Jason slid off the bed and stood up. "I'll have to thank her then."

"You should know that, thanks to you and your friends, Eri is safe."

Jason looked at Recovery Girl feeling relief. Sighing, he asked his next question. "What about the three who came to get her?"

"They have been arrested, and in the case of the boy, taken to the hospital. A Detective Tsukauchi wanted to talk to you."

"Probably to give me the: 'That's strike two.' Talk." Jason said bitterly. Wondering if Touya or Rogue sent Graydon to the hospital.

"Actually no." a voice said to Jason's side.

Jason looked over to see Tsukauchi. "Then why?" He scoffed.

"To get your side of the story."

"Are you going to arrest me because I used my Quirk?" Jason asked bitterly.

"I don't make the rules." Tsukauchi said. "But I do have to enforce them. I think what you did for your mother was Admirable, but the Hero Commission has to keep strict rules to stop Vigilante's"

"Right, and the Hero Commission doesn't do it to control people."

"What happened today?" Tsukauchi changed the subject, wondering why this kid hated the Hero Commission so much.

"I was sitting in class, and Aizawa Sensei had just told us that next semester a student from one of the other courses would be coming to Class 1A to exchange places with another student who is switching out."

"Okay. What next?"

"Momo and I were about to talk about Class President stuff when I got called to Principal Nedzu's office, but it was by the wrong name, so I knew it was a trap and took Rogue with me."

"Rogue. Auburn red hair with a white streak? Her Quirk gives her the ability to take other Quirks?"

"Yeah. Though she usually only borrows them. Why do you ask?"

"Because she used it to take a shapeshifters Quirk."

"She must have had a good reason. She doesn't do that normally."

"She was let off with a warning because Principal Nedzu, Touya Todoroki, and Emi Fukita were able to vouch for her. The Shapeshifter is Comatose, and his mother is trying to press charges, but thanks to the fact that she's a villain, they won't stick."

"Okay."

Tsukauchi felt his Quirk go off. "You don't really feel okay about that."

"Not really. I've been thinking. You have a Hero like Endeavor who abuses the shit out of his family, but he gets away with it because he's a Hero. Then you have a guy who steals money for his kid's operation, but he's a villain because he stole. What the hell. These guys are different because they were trying to kidnap a girl, and I would gladly rip the flesh from their bones, but for others who aren't like them and are labeled villains for just trying to survive, or Hero for having a strong Quirk! What the fuck!"

"Do you have proof that he abuses his family?"

"Talk to his kids." Jason showed Tsukauchi a before and after picture of Touya. "This is Touya Todoroki, his eldest son, before and after yesterday."

Tsukauchi looked at the pictures, and sure enough Jason wasn't lying. "Do you have proof of this? Without proof I can't do anything."

"Ask them. Hell, ask all of them."

"I will, but in the event that Endeavor has counter for the accusations you should be ready for his repercussions."

"I will be, but will he be ready for mine?"

Tsukauchi looked at Jason apprehensively. This kid was determined to see Endeavor go down by whatever means necessary.

"What did Endeavor do to you to make you hate him so much?"

"He hurt his kids. I hate people who hurt other people. Especially people who hurt kids."

Tsukauchi understood Jason Haywood a little better now, but this intensity was... he hadn't seen this drive in a kid this young. Jason Haywood was an interesting kid.

That afternoon.

Jason sat down next to Rogue. "So." He spoke. "I heard that you took a guy's Quirk."

"Yeah." Rogue sighed.

"Wanna talk about it?"

"He was a monster."

"His mom would probably say the same thing about you."

Rogue grabbed Jason by the throat and lifted him into the air. "I DIDN'T KILL MY OWN KIND!" She yelled, glaring at them with hollow eye sockets from Johnny's Quirk.

Jason grabbed her hand and gasped for air. "Rogue! Air!"

"I DIDN'T HUNT DOWN, TORTURE, AND KILL MY OWN KIND!"

Jason tightened his grip on Rogue's hand. "Rogue! Don't make me hurt you!"

"I DIDN'T PLAN THE GENOCIDE OF MY OWN KIND!"

Jason created a superheated layer under Rogue's hand, burning her.

"Gah! Damn it Jason!"

Jason landed in a heap coughing and gasping for air. "I know what you're feeling. That rage. That red hot rage coursing through your veins. I feel it every time I fight a criminal. I feel it every time I sense an innocent in pain."

"But you act on your rage!"

"I know. I'm not a good example. I act out. I lash out. At the end of the day, I know I am not a good person. I won't hesitate to kill. It's probably my greatest weakness."

"He needed to die Jason. I have his memories."

"And?"

"And he was working for someone called Overhaul."

"Overhaul?"

"Yeah. He was sent here to kidnap Eri. He wants to use her blood to make a cure for Quirks. He wants to take everyone's Quirks away."

"He... WHAT!"

"His goal is to make a cure. I don't know why, but Eri's blood can make a cure..."

"That's not what I meant. It makes sense now. At least partially. The reason Eri is so terrified. Her Quirk. It's all starting to make sense."

"What is it?"

"Eri said that he breaks stuff with his hands, and if he's the same guy who killed my mom."

Rogue covered her mouth with her hand. "No. You don't think..."

"Yes. He kills her for her blood, and puts her back together, and her Quirk does the rest."

Rogue punched the wall putting her fist through it. "THAT BASTARD!" She yelled.

"You uh..."

Rogue shaped shifted into Eri, and used her Quirk to repair the wall, and changed back. "I can't believe he would do that!"

"I can. Anyone who wants power will do whatever it takes to get it."

"Jason. You know that he's not going to stop. He's going to try again."

"Looks like we need to stop him."

"Johnny?"

"I'm thinking You, Johnny, and I go hunting. If we find him, we kill him."

Nedzu watched the camera recording of Jason and Rogue. He picked up his phone and called Tsukauchi. "I have a name for you." He spoke.

"..."

"Overhaul."

Tsukauchi was looking at the Touya Todoroki file. He apparently had died ten years ago, but they never found a body. If young Haywood was telling the truth Endeavor had done something to him. He looked at the other Todoroki files that Nedzu had... acquired. Rei Todoroki had been forced into a loveless Quirk marriage. Enji Todoroki had forced his son to train at a young age, and Touya just disappeared one day. His other kids were labeled as useless after their Quirks were shown as weak. Natsuo Todoroki's Quirk created pocket dimensions while Fuyumi's Quirk could create hailstorms. 'Now why does Natsuo have a different Quirk? It's a Mutation, but why is he the only one?'

Enji had Rei put in the hospitals Psychiatric ward and had taken full custody of their children. Unfortunately, he had made Natsuo and Fuyumi solely reliant on him in some sick and twisted way to keep them under his thumb. He also trained Shoto the same way as he trained Touya, but he was more careful than he was with Touya. 'Young Haywood was right. Endeavor is a monster disguised as a Hero. We need to stop him.'

That night.

Jason was lying in his, Himiko's and Eri's room on the couch.

He sent a text to Johnny and Rogue.

JH: We need to find and kill Overhaul.

R: Agreed. The longer he's out there the more danger Eri is in. He needs to be put down.

JB: I'm with you guys 100 percent, but when? After today do you really think Nedzu will let us out of his sight?

R: Good point.

JH: We will have the perfect time to strike.

R: When?

JB: When?

JH: When we leave for our internships. One week. That's our timeframe. One week to hunt down and kill Overhaul.

R: Should we really be discussing murder over text?

JB: yeah? Doesn't the government watch our texts or something like that?

JH: No. Any conversation I make with my phone goes through the Bat Computer and is made safe. As far as anyone else is concerned we are talking about the attack.

R: Good.

JB: Okay.

JH: I've asked my dad to train us. So be prepared to train your asses off for the next month.

JB: sounds good. Though I do have a question.

JH: What?

JB: Which of us will go to the final task? I mean we've all watched every sports festival since we were five. We all know that there is a one-on-one round. Which one of us will go to the top?

R: I nominate Jason. You and I would be too much for pretty much anyone else. So, I suggest Jason. He doesn't rely on his Quirk as much as us, and he could give Izuku the best fight without curb stomping him.

JB: So, what? We help Jason and Izuku get to the finals?

R: why not? We wouldn't make it obvious we were helping them, but we would just make sure ass holes wouldn't specifically target them.

JB: okay.

JH: I don't like the idea. It sounds like cheating, but at the end of the day I guess that out of all of us I have the best chance of letting people see the real Izuku Midoriya.

R: Its settled then. We get Jason and Izuku to the finals, and Izuku kicks Jason's ass.

JH: I'm game.

JB: Let's do it.

R: Good. Now get to bed.

They shut their phones off and went to bed.

AN: Dabi is my favorite Character in MHA, and I like reading Good Brother Touya fic's. So, I thought I'd make this a Good Brother Touya fic. I'm not entirely sure if Himiko could turn into Eri, but in this fic she can. If she actually can't please let me know. The next chapter will be training, and the Todoroki Family followed by the sports Festival. So, prepare for that. Enjoy.

Chapter 17: Training for the Sports Festival

Summary:

Jason and his friends train for the sports festival while the Dabi reunites with his family.

Chapter Text

AN: I don't own the characters used in this fic.

Jason Blood looked at Izuku. "Young Midoriya." He spoke. "Your Fire Breathing Quirk is called Dragon Breath, correct?"

"Yes sir." Izuku said.

"And you have been training with Jason since you were five, correct?"

"Yes sir."

"Did he train you to fight?"

"Yes sir."

"Martial arts?"

"No sir."

"I see. Would you like to learn Martial arts?"

"Can I?" Izuku asked eagerly.

"Yes. I have a Martial arts form that I could show you."

"What's it called?"

"Dragon Style Kung Fu."

"That sounds so cool!"

"It is. Jason said that you are very Analytical. Is this true?"

"Um... Yes sir."

"Very well. Watch me as I go through the motions of Dragon Style and see if you can follow it."

"Yes sir!"

Jason Blood took his suit coat off and put it to the side.

He stood at attention before bringing his hand up. He held his left hand open before curling his index finger in and bringing his thumb and pinkie towards each other without letting them touch. He kept his right hand closed tightly in a fist. He moved his arms up and to the sides and brought his left leg up and moved forward straightening his left hand and keeping his right hand slightly curved, but extending his index finger, and bringing his thumb and pinkie closer together without touching them.

He moved forward straightening his fingers and holding his arms out before bringing his right foot in front of his left and crossing his arms extending his index and middle fingers on both hands, bringing his ring fingers down, and bringing his thumb and pinkie towards each other almost touching them. He made his hands almost claw like and stretched them outwards before bending his legs and crouching. He stood back up and spun completely around before he brought his right arm up and his left arm down. He took a step back and brought his left arm back with him while holding his right arm forward and brought them down while he stretched his right leg forward and squatted before pulling his arms backwards and standing up. He brought his right leg back and brought his arms back like he was going to throw something.

He brought his arms down and moved his left leg forward before he brought his arms down with the left arm forward and the right arm back. He stood up angling his left arm down while keeping his right arm back and moved forward. He brought both hands up with his leg. He moved backwards bringing his right leg up while moving his left arm down and right arm up with his thumb curved in and his fingers on his left hand pointing straight and his fingers on his right angled inward.

He snapped his left hand forward and brought it back while curling his right hand into a fist. He brought his left hand back and punched forward before bringing his left hand back and down and twisting his right arm pushing it down. He alternated this with both hands several times before he leaned forward and punched out with his right fist and opened it before bringing his arms to the left with a graceful motion. He pulled his right arm back and extended his left hand with the same posture of index and middle fingers extended and slightly curled, ring fingers bent into the palm, and pinkies and thumbs almost touching. He slightly bent his legs and brought his hands up before extending his left hand and curling his right hand into a fist and swinging it down before snapping it back and holding his left hand out mostly straight.

He brought his left hand up and brought it back before swinging with his right hand again. He snapped his hands to the left and began moving towards the left while spinning and swinging his hands in almost erratic gestures, but if one looked close they would see that each gesture was precise. He jumped and spun before crouching and holding his right hand out at an angle and his left arm in the air angled with his fingers opened and thumb extended. He spun his left arm down and brought his right arm around before he brought his right arm in towards his chest and lashed out with his left hand. He brought his right arm down forming a fist and swung his left arm down before he brought both arms up and swung his right arm down while moving his left arm up.

He moved his left arm into his chest and lashed out with his right arm. He weaved his arms to the left and extended them diagonally with his left hand pointed up and his right hand pointed down. He bent his right leg and angled his left foot behind him and bent his leg. He brought his left hand down and moved his right hand towards the left and spun around bringing his left foot over bending his right leg and pointing his left arm down and right arm up. He weaved his arms through the air and moved across the room in an arc.

He extended his right arm and held his left arm at the ready before bringing his right arm up and held it angled with his hand ready to strike out. He moved his arms, so they were close to his chest and moved them to the sides before kneeling down and pointed his right hand down and pointed his left arm up with his left hand open with his palm facing upward. He stood up and spun his arms around and Weaved around slicing his arms through the air in graceful arcs before pivoting on his left foot spinning around and weaving his arms around and reaching forward with his right hand and crouching down. He turned around and brought his arms down bringing them back towards him, slowly moving forward in slow methodical motions bringing his hands over his head. He brought his right arm down in a swing and held his left hand up before snapping his right hand back and lashed out with his left hand.

He brought his right hand back and punched out and pulled his left hand back before putting it at his side and bringing his right hand to the right and spinning his arms making long arcing motions and walking forward before bringing both hands in and pushing forward with his thumbs, ring fingers, and pinkies pointing forward with the middle and index fingers pointing up.

Jason Blood stood up and ran a hand through his hair, smoothing it out.

"That's so cool!" Izuku yelled.

"This is Dragon Style Kung Fu."

"I want to learn that!"

"Were you able to analyze it?"

"Yes."

There was an alert on Izuku's phone. He pulled it out and saw a message from Jason. He opened it and saw four videos tacked onto it.

Jason: I recorded the demonstration from four different angles. Hope this helps. Izuku looked around and saw Cameras in each corner of the gym.

"I suppose that Jason sent you some help?"

"Yeah. He sent me your demonstration from four angles."

"Let's see what you learned."

"After just watching you?"

"This is a test to see how good your analytical skills are."

Izuku stood up and got into the fighting stance.

Jason Blood corrected Izuku's stance. "Good start. Show me how much you remember."

Izuku went through the steps only stopping when Jason Blood told him to stop and correct his form.

"Not bad." Jason Blood said. "However, this is merely a slowed down version of Dragon Style. You need to pick up the pace."

"Will I be able to use this during the sports Festival."

"I don't know. I'm not going to say yes, but if you work hard, you might be able to use some of what you've learned."

"Okay. I'll work hard."

"Don't overwork yourself."

"I won't. Otherwise, the others won't let me hear the end of it."

"You have good friends. You should listen to them."

"I will and I do."

"Good. I will train you and your friends Quirks and in various Martial Arts until the Sports Festival."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. I will help you afterwards, but I'm not sure what I can do until then to help you."

"Whatever you can do will be appreciated."

"Thank you, but you have homework to get to, and I have things I must attend to as well."

"All right. Thank you, and goodbye."

"Goodbye." Jason Blood said before reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone.

He called the Mortuary where Sheila's funeral was to be held and made arrangements for Saturday.

Touya Todoroki was sitting in the courtroom waiting to hear the judge's decision.

"I acknowledge that Touya Todoroki is alive, and urge him to find a job, and a place to live; that is to this courts satisfaction. This court is Adjourned."

Touya stood up and left the courtroom. As he was walking down the stairs he was mobbed by reporters.

"Touya! Touya!" A reporter yelled. "Where have you been for the last ten years!"

"I've been living on the streets for the last ten years just trying to get by."

"Why!" Another reporter yelled.

"My father is an asshole who tried to kill me when I was fifteen."

"Why!" The first reporter yelled again.

"Because he wanted someone who could surpass All Might since he's too much if a pansy ass bitch to do it himself!"

"Are you calling Endeavor a coward!" A new reporter yelled.

"He took two five-year-old kids and put them through training that would make Heroes beg for mercy, terrified my mother to the point she poured scalding water on my youngest brothers face because it reminded her of the bastard, and beat her before locking her in a mental hospital! What do you think?"

"Do you have anything else to add?"

"He also bought my mom and raped her four times, to try and get his "masterpiece"!" Touya snarled with air quotes.

The crowd went silent, and Touya walked away.

Jason Blood looked at Anna.

"What are you going to teach me?" Anna asked.

"Aikido. It's a grapple fighting style. It will compliment your stature greatly."

"Are you calling me small?"

"No. Well actually I guess I am. Now. You need to learn to be fluid so your opponent can't catch you. So, I will teach you several stretches to help get you flexible enough to use Aikido. You will also want to increase your body's natural strength."

"Okay."

Touya was walking through Musutafu when he saw a kid walking away from a store. "Natsuo?" He called out.

The kid looked at him, a strange mix of terror and relief in his eyes. "Touya?" He asked.

"Yeah. " Touya said. "It's been a while."

"Yeah. Where have you been?"

"I was living in the streets for the past ten years. I made some connections, and now I'm going to talk to one. You're old enough to drink right?"

"Yeah."

"Come on. I'll buy you a drink."

The brothers walked to a bar and sat down.

"So, what have you been up to?" Touya asked.

"Not much."

"Natsuo." Touya said. "I'm not stupid. I know what that jackass is like. If I got messed up, I'm sure you and Umi did too."

"Fuyumi and I have Quirks. Not powerful ones, but we have them."

"What are they?"

"Fuyumi's is 'Hailstorm'. It activates when she's anxious or scared or stressed. The more she's feeling the stronger it gets."

"Okay. What about you?"

"It will be easier to show you." Natsuo said before he and Touya were standing in a void with a house in it."

"What?" Touya said hearing his voice echo around him. "What is this place?"

"It's my Quirk. It's called 'Pockets' I got a mutation Quirk that lets me create pocket dimensions."

"That's so cool. Where did you get a house?"

"It's one of Endeavors spare houses."

"You stole a house from Endeavor!?"

"Yeah. A lot of other stuff too. Come on in, and I'll show you."

They walked in and saw the equivalent of a boy's dorm.

"It looks lived in." Touya said.

"Yeah. I stole pretty much everything in here. Each room has a Plasma Screen T.V."

"How many rooms are in here?"

"Seven."

"You stole seven plasma Screen T.V.'s?"

"No. I stole ten. I have one for every room in the house. including the Bathroom, Kitchen, and attic."

Touya looked at Natsuo. "I'm not sure whether to be impressed or not."

"Hey. You abandoned us. We did what we had to in order to survive."

Touya wanted to lash out, but Natsuo had a point. "What happened?"

"Well. Fuyumi tried to hold our family together after mom snapped, and went away, but the stress of everything broke her. I hid Shoto and myself in here on her bad days. She teaches school and is on antidepressants and who knows how many other pills. I became a klepto, and Shoto..."

"I've seen Shoto." Touya said. "I'm going to make this right."

"What are you going to do, kill Endeavor?"

"So much worse. I could use your help."

"What do you need?"

"This place."

"Do you want one of your own?"

"What?"

"Do you want a pocket dimension?"

"Can you give me one?"

"Yeah. Fairly large one too. I've been training."

"Great. Give me the biggest one you can give me. Then I'll show you how a real Klepto works."

Natsuo smiled. "This is going to be fun."

Elsa looked up at Jason Blood. "So. What are you going to teach me?"

"Judo. you have an Ice Quirk, correct?"

"Yes."

"Very well. Judo will greatly enhance your ice powers because of the style. Judo uses a lot of throws, and with it you will be able to grab your opponent, freeze them, and throw them."

"I'm much more comfortable fighting from long distances though."

"Not all opponents will let you have that advantage. Do you think Peter would let you attack him from a distance?"

"Who?"

"Peter. I mean Jason. Sorry, I've been calling him Peter when it's just us so as not to get confused in public."

"Okay. He wouldn't. He would attack me and win in five seconds or less."

"Judo will give you an advantage."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"I'll learn it then."

"Very well. You will need to work on your upper body strength. Judo requires a bit of upper body strength."

"Okay."

"Good. Let's get started."

Touya walked into the school Natsuo said Fuyumi taught at.

"I'm here to see Fuyumi Todoroki." He said to the receptionist.

"Let's see. It's her prep period right now. Her room is 221."

"Thank you." He spoke, heading for the room. finding the room, he went in. "Umi." He spoke.

Fuyumi Todoroki flinched when she heard that voice. 'That isn't... Is it?' She turned around to see Touya standing there. She ran at him and barreled into him. "TOUYA! IS IT REALLY YOU? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"

"Yes Umi." Touya said, hugging her shuddering form. "It's me. I've been... I've been on the streets ever since that day."

Fuyumi cupped Touya's face between her hands, looking into his eyes with her own reddened ones. "I'm so sorry." She said hugging him.

Touya returned the hug. "Natsuo told me what's been going on with Endeavor. I'm so sorry that you've been forced to do that. I shouldn't have left."

"NO!" Fuyumi yelled. "You got out..."

"I'm going to get you all out. I'm working on a way to get you all out from under his thumb."

"You need to get Shoto away from him. I'm afraid that Shoto will break and kill him."

"I'm working on getting you all away from him. Mom too."

"Do you know what happened with mom?"

"Yeah. I talked with Shoto, and he told me."

"It wasn't her fault!"

"I know. I'm going to get her out of that hospital."

"Please. I'm not sure I have the strength to keep it together much longer."

'Damn.' Touya thought. He closed the door and pulled out his phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Calling a potential employer." Touya said.

Nedzu was enjoying a cup of tea with Himiko when his phone rang.

"Yes? Hello?"

"Nedzu. This is Touya."

"Ah yes. Todoroki-Kun. How may I help you?"

"I'm with my sister right now. She has something to tell you."

"I'm listening."

"Um. Nedzu-San. I am not sure how much longer my younger brothers and I can live in the same house as our father. He has pushed Shoto to a point where I'm afraid Shoto will either fade away or break under the stress. School is the only place he isn't under our father's thumb. Natsuo is acting out against our fathers wishes, and I'm afraid he will become a villain, and I think our father would kill him before that happened. And I..." Fuyumi began crying.

Nedzu was overcome with emotion. He began plotting, and making notes. He'd need to call Hinata-chan.

"...I'm sorry. I just feel like a failure because I can't keep our family together."

"You aren't a failure, Fuyumi!" Touya shouted. "You are barely an adult! You shouldn't have to be a sister, and a mother, and a housekeeper, and a nanny, and a teacher! You should be living your own life, but thanks to that bastard, you are trying to do all of that, and so much more! You need a break before you break!"

"Young Touya is right." Nedzu said. "This is no way for a child to be treated. I am going to make some calls. By the end of the day, you will be relocated until the custody hearing."

"Will you take Shoto away?" Fuyumi asked worriedly.

"No. Your family has suffered enough. You will be kept together so long as I have something to say about it."

"Thank you." Fuyumi sniffed.

"Thank you, Nedzu." Touya said. "I'll take you up on your offer. Make me a teaching assistant to All Might."

"Very well young Touya." Nedzu said, realizing that young Touya was probably doing this to jab at Endeavor, but he was willing to allow him to be petty. He had many things to do to before the day was over. He had to call Shota, Hizashi, and Nemuri for starters, and he'd have to set up the protection, as well as the hearing itself. A million things to do, and only so much time to do it in.

Jason Haywood looked at Johnny and Rogue.

"Okay." He spoke. "You guys need to learn a fighting style. I suggest street fighting to compliment your Quirk's."

"I don't need to learn how to street fight sugar." Rogue said. "I'm strong enough."

"Okay." Jason said. "Then let's get Aizawa Sensei in here to cut your Quirk. If you can beat me in fight, I won't make you learn street fighting."

"I'm good." Rogue said. "I'll learn street fighting."

"Good." Jason said before turning to Johnny. "What about you?"

"If Rogue says she'll do it without a fight, then I'll do it too."

"Then come at me. Both of you."

Rogue ran at Jason first, and punched at him.

Jason caught Rogue's arm and threw her over his shoulder before he swung her into Johnny.

Johnny caught her and rolled her across his chest and dropped her before running at Jason. He threw a haymaker with his right causing Jason to backflip out of the way. He ran at Jason but wasn't expecting Jason to change direction and kick him in the face, knocking him on his back.

Jason vaulted up kicking Johnny in the face but flipped right into Rogue's fist.

Rogue punched Jason back sending him flying backwards.

Jason rolled and got up.

"Oh gosh Jason!" Rogue yelled. "I'll sorry. I didn't mean to hit you that hard."

"Wa ou ean?" Jason asked before he realized what was wrong. He touched his jaw and felt that it was lopsided.

"Let's get you to Recovery Girl." Rogue said picking Jason up carefully.

"I an alk." He spoke.

"Your jaw is messed up." Johnny said.

"Ot the orse thin Tha's ha'ened."

"We know, but still."

They carried him to Recovery Girl's office and took him in.

"What happened this time?" Recovery Girl sighed.

"I broke his jaw." Rogue said. "We were sparring, and I lashed out a little."

Recovery Girl looked at Jason. "You don't seem to be in much pain." She spoke.

"Ot the orse thin Tha's ha'ened." Jason mumbled.

Recovery Girl kissed Jason's forehead, and he was shrouded in a soft aura.

His jaw mended and he became drowsy.

"Here." Recovery Girl said handing him some gummies. "And no training for the rest of the day, and take it slow for the rest of the week."

"Fine." Jason sighed, popping a red gummy into his mouth.

Fuyumi, Natsuo, and Touya walked up to the Todoroki house.

They were met by Shoto being led by two women from Child Protective Services.

"Hi kids." One of the women said, pulling out her I.D. "My name is Hinata Sato. This is my friend and partner Asami Hyuuga. We're the one's Nedzu calls when he finds out a student is in an abusive situation. We're going to go in and I'll take stock of the situation before I make my final verdict."

"Okay." Fuyumi said feeling hope rise in her chest.

They walked in and immediately Hinata could feel darkness of the house. This didn't feel like a good home. It felt more like a prison. No, not a prison. Prisons weren't like this. This was worse than a prison.

Asami's eyes glowed and she looked around the house, texting something on her phone and sending it to... someone.

Endeavor walked out of his office and saw Hinata and Asami.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked.

Hinata walked forward. "I'm Hinata Sato." She said looking him dead in the eyes before showing him her badge. "CPS. I'm here to see if your home is suitable for your children."

Hinata felt Endeavor look at his kids and freeze when he saw Touya.

"Hey old man." Touya said darkly. "Guess who's back from the dead."

Endeavor became very quiet. Not a submissive quiet, but a hidden rage quiet.

Hinata looked at him. "I'm going to search your house." She spoke. "I have a search warrant ." She said handing him the paperwork.

Endeavor took it and read it before he crushed it in his hand and the edges started burning.

Touya stepped in front of his siblings and got ready to flare up if he needed to. He felt something at his feet and felt gravity Leave. He fell and got up. When he looked around, he saw that everyone, but Endeavor was in Natsuo's pocket dimension.

"Where are we?" Hinata asked.

"My Quirk is called Pockets." Natsuo said. "I can create pocket dimensions, and I pulled us into mine. Endeavor was about to lose his shit, and we didn't want to be in his blast radius."

"How do you know that?" Asami asked, not wanting to hear the answer she had guessed.

"He's done it before."

"Let me out." Touya said. "I have better heat resistance. I can see if it's over."

Natsuo let him out and he saw that the house was on fire, and Endeavor was standing in what used to be the hallway.

"So," he said, putting his hand in his pocket. "You haven't changed old man. You don't like something or don't want someone finding something out and you torch it. Classy."

"They won't believe that I did this." Endeavor said. "I can blame this on you."

"No, you can't!" Hinata yelled.

They looked over and saw a burned Hinata.

"I thought you were..."

"In the Pocket Dimension?" She wheezed. "I am. My Quirk is called 'Duplicate'. It allows me to make multiple copies of myself. The only downside is that my copies are exact replicas of me. So, they feel pain."

"So, you made a copy of yourself to search the house?"

"Yes. Before we came in. I made a copy and had it crawl in through a window. I found enough evidence to show that this place isn't a good home, and with the police on their way. We better get into the pocket dimension." She spoke.

Touya grabbed her and pulled her into the pocket dimension Natsuo had given him.

The next day everyone in Class 1-A noticed that Shoto and Aizawa Sensei were gone.

"Where is Aizawa Sensei?" Denki asked. "Do we have a substitute?"

"I wonder who it will be?" Mina asked.

"Do you think it will be a retired Hero?" Kirishima asked.

The door slid open to reveal Mic Sensei.

"Good morning little listeners!" He yelled.

"Oh." Mina, Kirishima, and Denki whined.

"What's this?" He asked. "Is said... GOOD MORNING LITTLE LISTENERS!"

"Good morning, Mic Sensei!" They yelled back.

"That's what I like to hear!" Mic said taking the Podium. "Now! I have some announcements before handing it over to the class President!

1.) Bakugo has been removed from Class 1-A permanently. He will be attending the General Studies Class. If he impresses the teachers, he will be permitted back into the Hero Course Class 1-B.

2.) Aizawa Sensei has been called away for reasons we, the school, are unable to disclose.

3.) Todoroki Shoto has been called away until further notice.

Now. With that out of the way. I turn the time to our Class President."

Jason stood up and walked to the front of the class.

"I only have one thing to say before class starts. Momo will pass around a piece of paper. On that paper, please write your favorite snack or candy bar. The reason behind this will be made clear eventually, but not today. Thank you." He finished with a bow.

"Thank you, Young Haywood!" Mic Sensei said. "Now. Let us get to work!"

Shoto looked around the house.

Aizawa Sensei had sat him down in the front room after they got to his house.

"You'll be staying here until the custody hearing." Aizawa said. "Your other siblings have been taken to different houses of Heroes that Nedzu Sensei Trusts. I'm sorry we had to separate you from them, but for right now it is what was best."

"Thank you." Shoto said in his monotone.

Aizawa walked into the kitchen.

"Hey." The woman in the kitchen said.

"Hey." He said putting his hands on the island in their kitchen.

"Don't beat yourself up..."

"The signs were all there!" He said harshly. "I just wasn't looking!"

"Shouta." She said, taking his hand.

He grabbed her hand. "What am I going to do?"

"Be the man I fell in love with." She spoke.

He turned around and walked back to the front room where he'd left Shoto.

"Would you like to see where you'll be staying?"

"Sure." Shoto said.

Aizawa took him upstairs and showed him a room. "If you don't like this one, we have another..."

"This will be fine. Thank you, Sensei." Shoto said walking in and sat down on the bed. He looked around and saw a bookcase, and a desk. He sat at the desk and ran a hand over it.

Aizawa watched him and felt rage course through his veins.

"I never had a desk." Shoto said. "Or a bookcase. Just a futon."

"What about a closet?" Eraser asked.

"Yes. I had a closet, but it didn't have a door. My room had a door though, but the lock was on the wrong side."

Aizawa clenched his fists in rage. "You were a prisoner in your own home?"

"I had a window, but it could only open about six inches."

Eraser grit his teeth together. It was the only thing keeping him from swearing.

"Thank you, Sensei, but what about School?"

"You won't be going back to school until after the custody hearing."

"Oh. Okay."

Aizawa knelt down in front of Shoto. "I'm sorry Todoroki. I'm sorry for everything that you've had to endure. I hope we can get it taken care of."

"Thank you Aizawa sensei."

Aizawa looked at Shoto before heading downstairs.

Fuyumi looked at the Hero in the back of her class and blushed before going back to grading papers.

"Hey." The Hero said walking up and standing next to Fuyumi's desk. "Whatcha doin'?"

"I'm grading my students tests while they are outside."

"I see. So, I hope I'm not being too forward with this, but do you want to hang out after work? Ya know, help you unwind."

"Um." Fuyumi said blushing. "I don't know. Are you asking me out?"

"That wasn't my intention. I just wanted to know if you wanted to hang out to help you relax, but if you want to call it a date, then sure."

"Oh. That's not what I meant. I'm sorry."

"Wow. Endeavor really did a number on you, didn't he?"

Fuyumi rubbed her arm. "The only time he ever physically touched me was when dinner wasn't on the table when he got home. Even a few times when I was sick."

"That bastard!" The Hero yelled.

Fuyumi jumped back.

"I'm sorry." The Hero said. "I wasn't yelling at you. Sorry."

"It's fine." Fuyumi said.

"No, it's not!" The Hero said.

"Please don't cause a scene. I just want to get through the day."

"Fine, but we will be talking about this later." The Hero said tapping her rabbit foot.

Natsuo walked through the store and tried slipping his tail.

"You do realize that speed is kind of my thing, right." A female voice said from his left.

He turned to his left to see nothing.

Something tapped his right shoulder.

He turned to his right and saw nothing.

Someone put their hands over his eyes and whispered seductively in his ear. "Guess who."

He dropped them both into his pocket dimension.

"Who are you?" Natsuo demanded when he turned around and saw her for the first time.

"My name is Barbara Allen, and I am the fastest woman alive."

"I'm not sure about that. Now why are you following me?"

"Well. I'm supposed to. Nedzu Sensei asked me to."

"You don't look older than me. How old are you?"

"You're never supposed to ask a lady her age or weight."

"You can't be older than 20."

"Thank you!" She yelled hugging him. "That makes me feel better."

"What? Are you actually like 40?"

Barbara stopped hugging him and started crying.

"Why are you so mean!" She yelled, pointing at him. "How could you say such horrible things! I'm not that old! Twenty-five doesn't make you that old! You're so mean!"

"So, you're twenty-five." Natsuo said.

"You're so mean." Barbara whined.

"What's your Hero name?"

"Dash." Barbara said wiping a tear from her eye.

"Are you seriously crying?"

"YES!" Barbara yelled jumping up and slamming her fists down by her sides. "You're mean!"

"Well, you try living with Endeavor as a father and come away without a tainted soul!"

"I'm sorry." Barbara said. "I didn't mean to say that."

"It's fine. I'm over it." Natsuo said. "Let's just get out of here." He let them out of his pocket, and they went about their day.

Touya looked at Nedzu. "Seriously?" He asked.

"Yes." Nedzu said.

"You're really going to make me pick a handler?"

"No, but you need to pick someone who will protect you in case something happens. Preferably a hero."

Touya wiped his face. "Fine, but it's my choice."

"Very well."

Touya took out his phone and looked through his contacts until he found the one, he was looking for.

The other end picked up after the third ring.

"Hey Birdy." He spoke.

Chapter Text

AN: Bet Read by Brawn1984 and Starrmastrr

AN: Some strong language and brief graphic violence.

Outside the Musutafu Courthouse

A News team was standing outside the Musutafu courthouse waiting for any information on the case that was currently taking place.

"We are standing outside the Musutafu Courthouse, where custody for Endeavor's, the number two Hero's, children will be determined. Last week Touya Todoroki, Endeavor's oldest child, told us that Endeavor has been abusing him and his siblings in order to try and surpass All Might, the number one Hero. This is Kiko Yamamoto signing off."

Inside Musutafu Courtroom.

Touya sat in front waiting for the judge to come in. He looked to his left and saw the number three Hero Hawks sitting in between him and Umi who was sitting next to Mirko. He looked to his right to see Natsuo sitting next to a blond bombshell. He looked past Natsuo and the blond to see Shoto sitting in between A dark haired, scruffy looking, almost zombie like man, and a fair skinned greenette. He looked at the other side of the room to see his burning trash can of a sperm donor glaring at him. He glared back.

The door opened and everyone looked up to see...

"Mom!" Fuyumi and Natsuo yelled.

Rei Todoroki was led into the courtroom. When she saw her children, she smiled sheepishly at them. Then she looked at Touya and bolted for him. She wrapped her arms around him and sobbed into his shoulder. "My baby's alive!" She sobbed. "My baby boy is alive!"

Touya saw Endeavor get up and glared fiery death at him.

Aizawa and the greenette saw Touya glaring at Endeavor and stood up, ready in case something happened.

"All rise." The bailiff said. "For the honorable Judge Sado."

Everyone stood up as a kind, grandfatherly man walked in from his chambers.

"Please sit down." The kindly man said, sitting down. "We are here to determine custody of the Todoroki family, yes?"

"Yes, your honor." Hinata said standing up. "I received a call from Principal Nezu at UA High saying that one of his students were in an abusive household and sent me and Asami Hyuuga in to investigate."

"And what did you find?"

"The Todoroki children living at home were no better than prisoners in their own home your honor. If I may."

Judge Sado nodded.

Hinata brought a file up.

Judge Sado looked through it.

"I was only able to look around for maybe five minutes your honor, but I knew about Endeavor's temper and used the time that I had wisely. As you can see your honor, the locks on their doors were inversed so they were locked from the outside. Their closets didn't have doors, their windows couldn't be opened more than six inches. The bathroom didn't have a lock on it, and in the bathroom, I found anti-depressants for Fuyumi Todoroki. Along with a variety of other prescriptions as you can see. The Todoroki children need to be taken away from Endeavor for their physical, mental, and psychological safety. Living with him is hazardous to their health and development."

"Enji Todoroki?" Judge Sado said. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

"I was trying to raise my children in an environment where they would not see me as a way to get money, power, or fame..."

"Shut the fuck up!" Natsuo shouted. "You nearly killed Touya and covered it up, and now you're pushing Shoto to the breaking point! School is his only solace away from you, and you've driven Fuyumi to having psychotic episodes to the point that I have to hide Shoto and I from her! Don't make this sound like you're doing us a fucking favor! You aren't! Maybe we should tell them about how you used to abuse mom to the point that she poured fucking scalding water on Shoto's face! Or what about when you fucking pull Fuyumi out of bed by her hair when she's sick because dinners not on the fucking Table! You are a fucking monster, and I would kill you myself if I weren't so fucking weak!"

"What was that you said?" Judge Sado asked, horrified.

"Endeavor hurt all of us. He hurt Touya by burning his arms and face. He hurt my mom to the point that she had a psychotic break and tried burning Shoto's face with boiling water. Then he beat her for hurting his "prized possession"." Natsuo said with finger quotes. "He traumatized Fuyumi to the point that she needs antidepressants and who knows what else. He would grab her by her hair when she was sick and drag her out of bed because dinner wasn't done! He beat the shit out of Shoto on a daily basis! He doesn't deserve to be a father, let alone a Hero."

"What about you?" Judge Sado asked. "What did he do to you?"

"He pretty much ignored except to tell me how useless I was. I mainly hid in my pocket."

"I assume this pocket you are talking about is your Quirk."

"Yeah. Pockets. My Quirk is Pockets."

"I see."

Natsuo looked around. Everyone but the two of them were frozen. Endeavor looked like he was about to blow a fuse.

"Is this your Quirk?"

"Yes. Standstill. It allows me to stop time around me and up to four other people for five minutes."

"So, it's kind of like mine."

"In a way."

"What are you going to do about Endeavor?"

"I will ask the rest of your Family and Endeavor their sides of the story before I make my verdict."

"Just so you know. Endeavor will probably lie and try to spin this in a way where he's the victim or some bullshit like that."

"I know the type. Don't worry."

The world came back into focus and Natsuo looked around to see Endeavor getting ready to lose his shit.

The next moment Judge Sado called for a Recess.

Touya.

Touya looked at Judge Sado. "What happened?" he asked.

"My Quirk. I can stop time for myself and up to four people around me for five minutes. Why don't you tell me what Endeavor did?"

Touya handed Judge Sado his phone with a picture of him before and after Rogue rewound his scars.

"He did this to you."

"Yes. He wanted someone to be stronger than All Might. He did whatever it took to try and get someone stronger than All Might. He put me through training that would break some pros. One day we were training, and he made me increase the temperature of my flames until it got too hot, and out of control. When I woke up, I was in agony I tried getting help, but no one would help a kid who looked like he crawled out of an incinerator... well, no one but the guy who found me. He couldn't get me medics help, but he was able to get in touch with someone who could."

"And did they help you?"

"Yes, but that was the best they could do."

"Then how did..."

"Some girl with a Quirk that could undo injuries like that helped me."

"I see. Why didn't you go back home?"

"At first I couldn't remember where home was, but after I did, I figured that Endeavor would kill me in order to keep his hands clean."

Judge Sado wiped his face but stayed quiet.

Fuyumi

"Fuyumi. Can you tell me your side of the story? Natsuo and Touya told me their sides of the story, but I want to know yours."

"I um... I failed my family. I tried keeping us together for as long as possible, but now we'll be separated and it's all my fault." Fuyumi started crying.

Judge Sado cursed Endeavor. "Fuyumi. You did not fail your family, and you and your family will not be separated. Not if I have anything to say about it."

Fuyumi sniffed and took off her glasses before wiping her eyes. "R-really?"

"I will do everything in my power to keep you and your family together."

"Even our mom? Dad hurt her after she had a break and poured boiling water on Shoto's face because she was terrified of that side of his face."

Judge Sado looked at Shoto who had a burn on the left side of his face. He looked down at a woman who was silently typing away.

She looked up at him with a sad look on her face.

"Is what Natsuo said about Endeavor true?" Judge Sado asked.

Fuyumi nodded her head.

"I'm so sorry." He spoke

Shoto

Judge Sado looked at Shoto. He looked cold, unsure. He seemed to judge anyone he came into contact with. It was a defense mechanism to being hurt for so long. Shoto Todoroki was in danger of becoming apathetic. "Would you like to talk about your family?"

"Natsuo and Fuyumi are good siblings, I guess. Fuyumi gets really angry a couple of times a month, and sometimes Natsuo has to hide us in his Pocket, but I would rather deal with that than Endeavor."

"And why's that?"

"Because he did this." Shoto said moving his hair out of his face to show the burn mark."

"He burned you?"

"He might as well have considering he hurt my mom to the point that she did this to me because she was terrified of this half of my face."

"Is there anything else?"

"He used to hurt Touya when we were younger, and one day he didn't come back. That's when he started training me. My mom tried stopping him, but he would hurt her to get to me."

"What else?"

"He doesn't really bother Natsuo except to tell him how useless he is, and he hurts Fuyumi when dinner isn't ready. One day she forgot about dinner and saw him coming home. She ran into the kitchen and threw a fully frozen chicken and asked me to thaw it."

"Did you?"

"Yes, but because dinner wasn't ready, he hit and kicked her. I feel like if he does something like that again I'm going to kill him. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about it before."

Judge Sado looked at Shoto. "Thank you. That was very informative."

Rei

Judge Sado looked at Rei. "Todoroki San..."

"Himura." Rei Whispered.

"What?" Judge Sado asked.

"My maiden name is Himura." Rei repeated.

"Very well. Himura San. What was it like living with Endeavor?"

Rei looked over at Endeavor nervously.

"He cannot hurt you or your family. You are safe."

"He um... he bought me from my parents in a Quirk marriage. If you could call it marriage. He wanted a child who could do what he couldn't and surpass All Might. He would hurt Touya..." Rei looked at Touya still in disbelief. Her baby boy was alive. "He hurt him, and when I tried to stop it, he would make me stop. Sometimes it was one hit. Others it was more than ten. Sometimes it was until I passed out."

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes." Rei cried. "I hurt Shoto! I hurt him!"

"What happened?"

"His left side looks so much like Endeavor. I was so scared. Scared for my life. Scared for my children's lives. I was so scared."

"I know. I know." Judge Sado soothed. "It must have been terrifying."

"That doesn't excuse me for what I did. I was making a pot of tea, and Shoto startled me. I grabbed the pot and poured it on his left side hoping to get rid of Endeavors face. I didn't realize what I was doing until after I heard Shoto crying, but by then..." Rei sobbed. "By then it was too late. I wish I could go back and stop myself from doing it, but I... but I can't!"

Judge Sado felt bad for Rei. He let her out of his Quirks effects.

When the world came into focus Rei was in tears.

Touya was on the verge of raging.

Natsuo was vibrating with rage.

Shoto looked indifferent, but Aizawa could tell that he was not happy about something.

Fuyumi was on the verge of tears.

And Endeavor stood there looking at his family enraged and embarrassed.

"There will be a fifteen-minute recess." Judge Sado said. "Then we will continue with Endeavor. Eraser Head. Miss Joke. Please come to my chambers."

Touya looked over and saw the Greenette and the scruffy looking guy get up and walk towards the judge's chambers.

Judge Sado's Chambers.

"Eraser head." Judge Sado nodded.

"Your honor." Aizawa bowed.

"Miss Joke." Judge Sado nodded.

"Your honor." Emi bowed.

"I want you two to be present when I question Endeavor."

"Of course, your honor." Aizawa said.

"I'm assuming you two know about my Quirk?"

"Yes sir." Emi said. "Your Quirk allows you to stop time around you and up to..." she stopped and looked at Aizawa.

"Four other people for five minutes." Aizawa finished.

"Yes. Four other people for five minutes." Emi said, finishing her thought.

"Good. I am glad you are aware. My Stenographer, Morita San, myself, Endeavor, and you two will be in the loop. If Endeavor acts out, and you two are unable to contain him, Setsuko will use her Quirk."

"May I ask why you are telling us this, your honor?" Aizawa asked.

"Because. Setsuko's Quirk is Gravity."

The couple looked at each other.

"As in the ability to increase gravity?" Emi asked.

"Yes. So, in the event that you cannot stop him. Prepare to be hit by a wave of gravity that will push you to the ground. I'm telling you this as both a warning and a courtesy. Not many people know about Setsuko's Quirk."

"Very well your Honor." Aizawa said with a bow.

Emi also bowed to Judge Sado.

With that they left the chambers.

When Eraser Head and Miss Joke left for the Judge's Chambers Endeavor stood up.

Touya practically jumped to his feet and walked over to Shoto before sitting down next to him.

Hawks went and also sat down.

"Who's that?" Shoto asked.

"This is Hawks. He's a friend of mine."

"Yeah." Hawks cut in. "I was doing patrol one day I saw him fighting off some thugs. I took him to a doctor friend of mine and had him taken care of. You know; snip, snip." He said making a scissor motion with his fingers.

Touya elbowed Hawks in the stomach. "Shut your lying face." He snapped.

Shoto looked at Touya and Hawks in a neutrally confused face.

Touya looked over at Natsuo. "So Natsu." He spoke. "Who's your friend?"

"More like menace." Natsuo said bitterly.

"Don't be mean." Barbara said with a flirtatious pout. "Otherwise, I might cry again, and you wouldn't want that."

"Nice." Touya said. "Looks like you're a real lady killer."

"Yeah." Hawks said. "A real chick magnet. Hey Bab's." he said smiling at Barbara.

Barbara flipped Hawks off.

"Oh. Is there a story there?" Touya asked.

"Yeah." Hawks said. "I beat her in a race, and now she hates me."

"Excuse me?" Barbara said. "You cheated. I'm the fastest woman alive."

"Maybe on the ground." Hawks said.

"When you say the fastest woman..." Touya said. "...does that include in bed?"

"Touya!" Rei and Fuyumi yelled in unison.

"What?" Touya asked. "I'm just asking if she's trying to bed Natsuo, that's all."

Barbara blushed a deep crimson.

Natsuo looked at her before looking at Touya then back at her and the floor.

"Natsuo?" Touya asked.

"Shut up!" Natsuo hissed.

"Dude." Hawks said. "He totally wants to..."

Hawks was cut off as Mirko slammed a hand over his mouth.

He mumbled something.

"What was that?" Mirko asked, taking her hand off his mouth.

"Don't ruin my money maker." He spoke.

"News flash." She spoke. "You need a money maker to get it broken."

"Ouch." Touya said.

Endeavor watched as his family seemed to be enjoying themselves... without him. He got up to walk over to them, why shouldn't he? He was the head of the family after all. He began walking when the bailiff spoke.

"All rise, for the Honorable Judge Sado."

Everyone rose, and the judge sat down.

The world around Endeavor froze and he looked at Judge Sado.

There were three other people in the courtroom that were not frozen in time.

Eraser Head who was wearing his capture scarf, Miss Joke who was glaring at him, and the Stenographer.

"Endeavor!" Judge Sado said harshly. "I have spoken to your family, and I am horrified."

"Horrified by their accusations?" Endeavor asked.

"Quite frankly, YES!" Judge Sado said. "Your family has told me horrific tales of abuse and neglect. Is it true?"

"In attempting to make them self-reliant..."

"Self-reliant?" Judge Sado asked. "What part of burning your eldest child and abandoning him? What about dragging your daughter out of bed by her hair when she's sick because dinner isn't ready? Or beating her because dinner isn't ready? What part of neglecting your son and calling him worthless and useless do you consider self-reliance? What about terrorizing your wife to the point that she is terrified of your youngest son, and pours scalding water on him so he doesn't look like you anymore?"

"She abused him! Why isn't she on trial?"

"Because you sick son of a bitch!" Miss Joke yelled. "You are the one who forced her to that point!"

"I didn't force her to pour the water on his face. She did that of her own Volition."

Aizawa held Emi back from throttling Endeavor.

"Miss Joke!" Judge Sado said sternly. "Stop this action right now or you will be held in contempt."

"It would be worth it." She whispered to Aizawa.

Aizawa patted her shoulders. "I know." He whispered back.

"Endeavor! I am appalled by what you did to your family, and hereby find you guilty of abuse and neglect."

Endeavor tightened his hands into fists and let out a growl. This man was telling him how to treat his family! How dare he!

Aizawa grabbed his capture scarf and let it swirl around ready to strike and got ready to activate his Quirk.

Miss Joke dropped into a fighting stance ready to move.

Everyone felt the gravity increase around them.

"Endeavor!" Judge Sado snapped. "Stand down."

Time sped back up as Judge Sado's Quirk stopped.

Everyone looked at Aizawa and Miss Joke ready to fight Endeavor.

Touya jumped up and grabbed Endeavor before dropping them into the pocket dimension that Natsuo had given him.

"You think you're pretty tough old man." Touya said donning his Dabi persona. "Let me show you what I became thanks to you."

He held his hand out towards Endeavor and shot a blast of blue fire at him.

Endeavor walked out of the fire and shot a blast of Hellflame at Touya.

"You were always weak to the flames!" He yelled.

Dabi blasted the flames creating a greenish hue for a split second.

Endeavor ran at Touya and jumped before blasting himself into the air. He expelled fire from his feet to keep him in the air and threw a flaming spear at Touya. The spear hit and exploded. Bathing Touya in fire.

Dabi got to his feet. "You're still not holding back. Just like when I was a kid. You haven't changed at all."

Endeavor landed and Dabi threw blue fire at him. "You always try and sear your problems away. Let's see if I can burn you out of our lives!"

Endeavor three twin balls of Hellflame at Touya.

The twin balls of Hellflame burst on contact and knocked Touya down.

He got to his feet. 'Fuck. My heat resistance is almost at its limit. I need to end this fast.'

Endeavor ran at Touya and grabbed him before using Hellflame and blasted Touya away.

Dabi struggled to his feet. "Is that all you've got old man?" He asked.

Endeavor held his hands out and began charging Hellflame for a power blast.

Dabi held his hands out while charging Cremation to blast Endeavor.

The blast knocked them both back.

"Fuck." Dabi said, getting up. "I think my heat resistance is done for. If this is my final stand. I'm going to make it a good one."

Blue Flame shot up Dabi's arms and he ran at Endeavor punching him in the face singeing Endeavors face.

He smiled. "So. Your heat resistance is gone too? Fancy that."

Endeavor grimaced as his flesh burned.

"Thanks to your training old man, my fire is even hotter than yours now."

Endeavor punched at Touya sending fire engulfing him.

Touya's flesh burned as Endeavor's Hellflame burned his skin, but he'd dealt with it before, and he could do it again. He pushed through the fire and grabbed Endeavor's hand. "Can your Hellflame keep up with my cremation?"

Endeavor felt the skin on his hand burn... no, not burn, melt. He felt his skin melt away. He did the only thing he could do and groaned in pain.

"No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Dabi said. "I didn't come here to hear you groan in pain. I came here to HEAR YOU SCREAM!" He grabbed Endeavor by the throat. "Let me hear you scream old man!"

Endeavor could feel his skin melt away leaving the smell of boiled blood and burnt muscle in the air. The pain finally overpowered his Will and he yelled.

"That's what I wanted to hear." Dabi said before kicking Endeavor out of his pocket and walking out. When he walked outside, he dropped his Dabi Persona and felt his burns. He dropped to his knees and looked around.

"TOUYA!" Rei yelled.

"Stay back!" Touya yelled warding his mom off with a wave of his hand. "He could get back up!"

Shoto and Natsuo ran up to Touya and helped him up.

"Natsuo. Take mom and Fuyumi into your Pocket."

"Right." Natsuo said.

Touya and Shoto walked over to Endeavor

Endeavor burst into flames melting the floor.

Aizawa grabbed Emi and swung them out of the way.

Touya jumped in front of Shoto and blocked the heat.

The others held their hands in front of them to ward off the heat.

"Stand down Endeavor!" Aizawa yelled. "You can still walk away from this!"

"Fuck you!" Endeavor yelled. "Fuck all of you!"

Aizawa activated his Quirk, erasing it.

Endeavor's Hellflame cut off.

Everyone looked at Endeavor.

Endeavor grabbed his side where he'd been burned.

Everyone stood their ground. Endeavor was wounded, and they weren't sure how he would react.

He could back down, or he might react like a wounded animal.

Touya knew he would react like a wounded animal.

Endeavor lashed out.

Aizawa threw his capture scarf and caught him before pulling him to his knees.

Endeavor pulled against Aizawa.

Aizawa held fast but wasn't ready for his capture scarf to go slack suddenly.

He stumbled for a split second which was enough for Endeavor. He took the chance and pulled.

His Quirk roared to life, and he burned through Aizawa's capture scarf.

Shoto covered his left side with ice and threw as much ice as he could at Endeavor creating a spontaneous steam explosion that destroyed the front of the courtroom and knocked everyone to the floor.

Mirko came out of the judge's chambers and saw the destruction. "What the hell! I'm protecting the Judge and Stenographer, and you guys are blowing the courtroom to hell, and back!"

"In my defense." Hawks said. "I was up here." He said flying down.

"Blame Endeavor!" Barbara yelled. "He wouldn't stay caught!"

"You have super speed! Why didn't you use it and Quirk Suppressing cuffs to catch him!"

"Because I would burn through my clothes if I did!"

"Why didn't you change into your costume?"

"H-here? I-in front of everyone?"

"Seriously?"

"Children!" Miss Joke yelled. "Now is not the time for this. Either be the Heroes you trained to be or leave."

Eraser took a pair of Quirk Suppressing cuffs from his pocket and restrained Endeavor.

Judge Sado and Morita San came out of the Judge's Chambers.

"Endeavor!" Judge Sado said. "You will be fined 53973500.00 Yen, a restraining order will be filed against you for your family's protection, and you will spend one year in jail for this little stunt."

Touya looked at Endeavor. 'That's not good enough.' He thought. 'He needs to pay.'

Natsuo, Rei, Hinata, and Asami came up out of Natsuo's pocket.

"Whoa." Natsuo said when he saw the destruction.

Musutafu Funeral Parlor

Jason Blood looked out at the room. Peter, his friends, and their families were standing, waiting for the time to start. When ten o'clock came around he tapped on the side of the podium. "Please. take your seats." Everyone sat down.

"Thank you for coming. We are here to honor the life of a mother and a dear friend..."

"And don't forget wife." A voice that made Jason Blood and Haywood's bloodlust spike.

"Willis." Jason Blood said barely keeping his rage in check. "What are you doing here?"

"I just came to pay my respects to my late wife."

Jason Haywood jumped up and created a knife before stalking towards Willis Todd. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't gut you where you stand!" He snarled.

"Because You'd ruin the carpet and upholstery." Willis said with a cocky grin.

"There are other ways of killing you." Johnny said walking up with glowing red eyes and smoking flesh.

"Hold on now." Willis said. "Can't we solve this after the funeral? Besides..." He snapped his fingers and a dozen men came in with their amplified Quirks. "... I might still lose, but so would you."

Jason growled but stalked back to his seat.

"Stay in the back with the rest of the trash." Johnny said.

"Ooh hoo." Willis said. "You've got a bite. Go on and enjoy the funeral."

Johnny walked back to his seat, but he didn't like it. Jason had to like it even less, and Jason Blood looked like he was ready to blow a fuse.

Jason Blood looked around the room before continuing. "Rather than having a Eulogy, we will now give everyone the chance to give a few words on Sheila." Jason Blood stepped down.

Jason Haywood stepped up to the podium. "My first memories of my mom was when I was four. That was the day that I met my best friends, but almost got them killed."

"Some friend." Willis said.

Jason ignored the impulse to kill the monster. "My mom was so scared that I would die. She was so relieved when I didn't..."

"Wasn't that a shame." Willis interrupted.

Everyone flinched at that.

Jason continued. "Over the years my mom tried to help me become the best version of me that I could, but I disappointed her at every turn."

"Total disappointment." Willis added.

"It took her death for me to realize what she meant by the best version of myself."

"Dead?" Willis asked.

"It meant that rather than let my emotions affect my actions, it means that I should control my emotions, and only when I have completely read and felt out the situation, only then should I act. I made her a promise on her death bed that I would become the Hero that she knew I could be..."

"A dead one?" Willis cut in.

"And in this case. The Hero she knew that I could be. Is an Anti-Hero." He glared at Willis with a determination that startled the man. His eyes glowed with an intensity that shook Willis to his core and made him feel something that he hadn't felt in a long time.

Fear.

"Oh fuck." Willis said.

Izuku got up next. "Haywood San was always nice to us. Whenever we got hurt while playing or training, she was always there to help us. Whenever she had any spare time to help us with anything, be it homework, problems with school, or problems with each other. She always helped us. I am grateful that I was able to get to know her and am sad that she is gone." He left the podium and sat down.

Rogue stood up next. "Sheila was a great person. She not only raised a child as a single parent, but she was also a great doctor. She always seemed to have the cure, whether it be her Quirk, advice, or just a different perspective on life. The world lost a great human being, and a great kid lost a great mother." She looked in the back at Willis and glared death at him.

Willis could feel her threat loud and clear but didn't move.

Johnny got up next. "I'll be the first to admit that Sheila was a bit of a hard case, but she cared about all of us. Every time we were over at the Haywood apartment for homework, dinner, sleepovers, whatever we were there for we were always taken care of as if we were her kids. We are all really close and consider each other family. So, it wasn't like losing a close family friend. We didn't lose a family friend. We lost a mother, or a sister, and in Blood San's case, a lover. I hope that it gives everyone some comfort in knowing that she is in a good place." He glared at Willis, and the rage behind his eyes finished his sentiment. 'You won't.'

Willis felt like he wanted to run but couldn't find the strength to move. Where were his men? Where was his strength? Where was his will?

Anna and Elsa stood up and walked to the front. "We just wanted to say that we will miss Sheila." Elsa said. "Yeah." Anna added. "I probably wouldn't be here without her." They walked back to their seats.

Himiko stood up and walked to the front. "I didn't really know Sheila, but at least she didn't try to hurt me, so in my book she's okay." She sat down, and Barton stood up.

"Wow. I didn't realize how much of an impact Sheila made on our children." He wiped a tear away from his eye. "We all know that Johnny was right, and that she was hard on all of our children, but that's because deep down she wanted them to succeed, and I can tell from the way that they have spoken today that she set them on the right track. Jason. I expect you to live up to your mothers' expectations. She wouldn't have had them if she didn't think you could do just that."

Jason nodded.

Clara got up. "Jason. I'm sorry for what happened, and I'm not sure what I can say that's already been said, but I know you. You're going to inspire others with your strength." She sat down and Inko took her place.

"Sheila was an amazing person, and a great friend." She started crying. "It was a pleasure to know her. She always knew what to say when something happened. She helped me when Izuku was diagnosed as Quirk-less, and through the years when Hisashi was gone. It's sad that she's gone, but as long as we choose to keep her alive, she will always be with us." Inko sat down and Agnarr and Iduna stood up.

"There isn't much that we can say. We knew Sheila and she was a good friend. We are glad to have known her and know Jason."

Raven stood up. "Sheila was a good friend. On the days that she had off we would talk about anything we wanted to, like a couple of schoolgirls going to the mall. When she called me at 2:00 in the morning because something was wrong, I would talk her through it. She would help anyone she could. Even if it was a smile, encouragement, just talking, or even using her Quirk. She was a good friend, and a great mother." She glared at Willis who froze at the sheer hatred in her eyes. "The world lost an amazing woman, and an amazing kid lost a wonderful mother. Jason." Jason made eye contact with her. "Your mother was loved, and so were you."

Jason could feel pain coming from Raven. 'Wait. Did Raven have a thing for my mom?' He thought.

Raven sat down.

Jason Blood stood up. "Thank you. I knew Sheila, and I loved her. She will always hold a special place in our hearts. There is so much that we could say about her, but the most important thing is that we will miss her."

"Wait." Willis said. "I have something to add."

Everyone in the parlor looked at him with hatred and rage behind their eyes.

Jason stepped to the side. "Make it quick." He spoke.

Willis walked to the front and looked at her in the casket. "When I met Sheila, she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever met, but as work kept me busy, I wasn't able to give her the time she needed, and I chased her into the arms of another."

Everyone looked at him, confused.

"By the time that she left what we had, was gone, and it's my greatest failure as a husband. I should have given her the attention she deserved."

Jason Haywood felt malicious intent coming from Willis, but he wasn't sure why.

"I know that what I did, can't be undone, but I can try to make up for it."

"Jason. I would like to offer you my assistance in becoming the Hero she knew you could be."

"Why?" Jason Haywood asked harshly.

"Because. It's the only thing that I can give you. You don't want my name, and this is the only thing I can do." He took out a vial and held it over Sheila's casket.

Everyone jumped to their feet.

"Take my hand." Willis said. "Otherwise, I'll drop this."

Everyone glared at Willis.

"Don't try anything." Willis said. "This will eat through anything."

Everyone looked at Jason.

"Fine." Jason said. He walked up to Willis and reached for his hand.

"Ah." Willis said. "No funny business. Otherwise, I'll drop this."

Jason knew that he wasn't bluffing. He took his hand.

"That's better." Willis said before activating his Quirk.

"We are standing outside the Musutafu courthouse where the number two Hero, Endeavor, has been rushed to the hospital with multiple third-degree Burns. We are here with the Todoroki family.

Touya! Touya! What happened?"

"Endeavor tried attacking my family. I stopped him." Touya said before he powered through the crowd leading his mother and siblings through the crowd.

"Touya!" A reporter shouted. "What happened? Where did you get those burns?"

"Endeavor. Where do you think?" He asked.

They got out of the crowd of reporters and made their way to the train station. As soon as they were inside Touya sat down on a seat. "Fuck." He swore. He reached into his pocket but forgot that he no longer carried painkillers. "Fuck!" He yelled in pain.

"What's wrong?" Fuyumi asked.

"The thing about getting burned is that it hurts just as bad the second time." He hissed out in pain.

Natsuo jumped into his pocket and came back out a minute later with a bottle of painkillers.

Touya grabbed them and popped three into his mouth. He had to wait a few minutes before they kicked in, but they eventually did.

Outside the train.

Hawks flew over the train While Barbara ran besides it, and Aizawa, Miss Joke, and Mirko rode inside the train.

"So." Mirko said to Fuyumi when she walked into their car. "That was pretty intense."

"Yeah." Touya said. "Fuck Endeavor. I hope he dies in prison."

"Touya!" Rei scolded. "Don't swear."

Everyone looked at Rei.

"What?" She asked.

Natsuo and Touya began laughing.

"Ah fuck!" Touya hissed. "It hurts to laugh."

Jason was writhing on the floor as his body began changing.

"What the hell did you do!" Rogue yelled, picking Willis up by the shirt and Elsa freezing his hand so he couldn't drop the vial.

"I amplified his Quirk. Enhanced it. Made him better than who he was."

"He was already the best version of himself!" Rogue yelled throwing him across the room into Johnny's arms.

The door opened and Willis's bodyguards came in with Quirks active.

Jason kept writhing as it felt like his body was being ripped apart and put back together.

"What did you do?" Jason Blood asked from Jason's side.

"I simply enhanced his Quirk."

"Why is he in pain then?"

"He's fighting the change. If he fights it, then it will feel like he's being ripped apart and could have untold consequences."

Rogue grabbed Willis.

"Like what?" Rogue asked, tightening her grip.

The bodyguards moved closer but stopped by a flick of Willis's hands.

"I don't know. It's different for each person."

"Why?" Barton asked.

"What fun is a game without breaking a few rules?"

Rogue threw Willis. "You've fucked up Jason's life enough! Why do you want to hurt him more?"

"He's going to be the greatest Hero in the history of Heroes. His origin story needs to be the most horrific. The best Heroes are the ones with the most trauma."

"You're doing this to make him better?" Iduna asked.

"No. I'm doing this to make him perfect. I will be his Nemesis."

"LEAVE!" Inko shouted. "Leave right now. Or you will find out exactly what parts of the human body are considered small objects!"

Every man in the room flinched and moved their hands protectively over their crotch.

Willis just smiled a smug smile and left.

The others glared at him as he left.

They turned around when they heard cloth tearing and Jason screaming in agony. They looked around and saw that his body had grown massive. He looked like he stood at least ten feet now. His body was hulking with large bulging muscles, and his skin was a burnt red. His head was ordained with two large horns on the sides of his head, and two smaller ones near the front. He passed out and shrank back to his normal size.

"What the hell just happened?" Johnny asked.

The Todoroki family sat in the waiting room while Touya was being treated for his burns.

"So." Rei said. "Tell me everything that I missed out on?"

"It's not pretty." Natsuo said.

"I know. I'm sorry. I..."

"It's not your fault mom!" Natsuo yelled. "It's his." He pointed at the wall. "He hurt you! He hurt us! He almost killed you, and Touya, and Shoto! It's not your fault!"

"I should have done more to protect you." Rei whispered.

"You did all that you could." Fuyumi said squeezing her mom's hand lightly.

"But I could have done more."

"We have a new start." Shoto said in a monotone that surprised everyone. "We have a chance at a new life. A life without him."

"I wish that were true sweetie." Rei said pulling Shoto into a hug.

Shoto remembered this. He remembered his mother's hugs. He remembered the warmth they provided, the safety, and comfort too. He held his mom as tight as he could and buried his face in her shoulder. Tears rolled down his face. Why was he crying? It had been so long since he cried. Why was he crying now?

Rei noticed Shoto begin to shake against her and pet his hair. "It's okay. I'm here."

Natsuo and Fuyumi were shocked. The only emotions they had ever seen Shoto display were anger or nothing. To see him actually showing anything else was... well shocking.

Mirko and Barbara watched from the other side of the room.

"Aww." Barbara said, wiping a tear away. "That's sooooo cute."

"Yeah." Mirko said. "I guess it is."

Touya's room

Touya was lying down in bed. His burns were mostly healed. The healer who healed him needed a lunch break to refuel his Quirk but said that he would be back in thirty to forty minutes. He was hazy but felt good.

There was a tap on his window that startled him.

He looked over to see Hawks flying outside his window.

Hawks opened the window and sat on the edge.

"So." He spoke. "How's the world's hottest fire user?"

"Are you hitting on me birdie?" He croaked out.

"Not unless you want me to. Blue fire is really hot, so I figured I'd use it."

"Okay."

"Dude, how high are you?"

"5'9"." Touya said.

"Dude!" Hawks laughed. "You totally are!"

The door opened and the doctor, a short, pudgy man, about 5'5", with short, black hair, and came back.

"Oh. Hawks. How are you doing?"

"Just checking in on Touya here. Tell me Doc. Will he be able to play the piano again?"

"Ha, ha." The doctor said. "You should get new jokes. I don't even think a miracle could heal them."

Hawks gasped. "You wound me doc."

"Too bad I can't heal pride."

"Your bedside manner sucks dick." Touya grumbled.

"And he would know." Hawks laughed.

"Hawks." Touya said.

"Yes?"

Touya threw a blue fireball at Hawks, knocking him outside.

The doctor closed the window and walked back over to Touya.

"How do you feel?"

"Like shit."

"I'm not surprised. The painkillers we had you on are beginning to wear off. Would you like some more?"

"Will this next bit be painful?"

"Only about as painful as the last one."

"Then no."

"Okay." The doctor said walking over to Touya's right side and touched Touya's face and stomach.

Touya felt his body begin to knit itself back together. He stayed quiet for the most part, only making small grunts and groans when something really hurt.

After ten minutes the doctor took a granola bar out of his pocket and began eating it. "You will be okay. Just rest, and you can leave tomorrow."

"Thanks doc."

The doctor left and Touya drifted off to sleep.

When Jason came to, he was lying in a bed that was both comfortable yet uncomfortable. His senses were acting up. His ears hurt because of all the sounds he could hear. He felt sick from the mix of smells. He could feel the fabric touching his skin. He wasn't wearing the suit he'd worn to the funeral. He looked onto one smell but couldn't place it. He tasted stale, medicated air. The smell was getting stronger. He could see even though his eyes were closed it was bright enough to see. "Where am I?" He rasped. He recognized the smell and snapped his eyes open, which was a mistake. He snapped them close and jumped up.

"Jason!" A familiar voice yelled at him. "Jason! Calm down. You're in the hospital!"

He listened to the voice and calmed down. "Inko?" He panted. "What happened?"

Inko told him what had happened, and that the others were at the cemetery.

"They said that they would record the graveside service for you." She spoke.

"So did you draw the short straw?" He asked.

"No! I volunteered."

"Okay."

"You're really calm for someone who was told that Willis Todd is your Nemesis."

"He's not." Jason said pulling the I.V. Out of his hand. He got up, and walked to the bathroom, and looked in the mirror. "I'm taller." He said looking in the mirror.

"Yes. Willis enhanced your Quirk. He said that the reason you were in so much pain was because you were fighting it."

"Of course, I was fighting it." Jason said. "I don't want anything that bastard could give me."

"He said that there could be negative side effects if you fought it."

"Okay. Were there?"

"I'm not sure. You grew in size, almost double."

"Did Izuku make a sketch?"

Inko took out a piece of paper and gave it to him.

Jason looked over the paper and saw what could be a demon. A note said that he was anywhere from ten to twelve feet. The sketch had huge, bulging muscles, and burnt red skin. A note said that his body gave off an enormous amount of heat. The drawing had four horns on his head. Two on the sides, and two closer to the front. "What did he do to me?" Jason asked.

"I'll go get the doctor." Inko said. Inko left the room leaving Jason alone.

'Hello?' Jason asked. There was no answer. 'Hello? Is anyone there?' There was still no answer.' Efreeti?' He gave up after the third try.

Inko came back with a doctor.

"Hello there young man." A short, pudgy man, who stood about 5'5" tall, with short, black hair said. "My name is Doctor Tanaka. Are you feeling any discomfort?"

"No." Jason said. "I'm not feeling any discomfort."

"Then is there anything that I can do?"

"My Quirk was enhanced against my will. Can you tell me what happened?"

"I will get the specialists who can help you, here as soon as possible."

"Thank you."

"You're most welcome young man." Doctor Tanaka said before leaving.

Jason sat against the wall.

Inko looked at Jason. He looked so defeated. "Jason?" She asked. "Are you okay?"

"No." Jason said. "I feel so... I don't know. I feel so... so."

"Violated?" Inko asked.

Jason's throat burned. "Yes. I didn't want my quirk enhanced. It's fine the way it is. I don't even know what this enhancement will do."

Inko didn't know what to say, so she did the only thing that she could. She wrapped herself in a blanket and hugged Jason.

Jason looked at her, confused.

"Your body produces a lot of body heat now. When we tried moving you after the incident you burned Raven.

"Is she all right?!" Jason asked worried.

"Yeah. She's fine."

Jason sighed in relief. "Um. I have a weird question."

"What is it?"

"Did Raven have a crush on my mom?"

"Yes. It wasn't a secret. Your mom knew about it, but she said that her first priority was raising you."

Jason wiped his eyes. "Did I get in the way of my mom's happiness?"

"What? No. How can you ask that?"

"Do you think my mom had a thing for Raven?"

"It wasn't a secret that they liked each other."

"What about my dad?"

"I don't know. Your mom tried to do what was best for you."

"At the cost of her own happiness?!"

"I don't have all the answers."

Jason smacked his head against the wall.

The door opened, and another Doctor walked in.

"Young Haywood?" She spoke.

"Yeah?" Jason asked.

"I am Doctor Suzuki. Doctor Tanaka said that you had some Quirk related issues?"

"Yeah. My Quirk was forcefully enhanced by another Quirk."

"Oh. I see. Do you know what your enhanced Quirk does?"

"That's what I wanted to find out."

"Okay. How do you usually activate your Quirk?"

Jason created a Hellfire knife.

"Okay. Did anything feel different?"

"Not really?"

"Have there been any changes?"

"His body temperature is higher than normal."

The doctor grabbed a thermometer and held it to Jason's forehead.

The thermometer beeped, and the doctor looked at it. "200 degrees Fahrenheit." She spoke. "Do you feel sick at all?"

"No. I feel fine."

"Okay. Is there anything else?"

"When his Quirk was first enhanced, he changed."

"Really? Into what?"

Jason handed her the drawing.

"My son sketched that." Inko said.

"Did you look like this?"

"I guess. I was in a lot of pain."

"I guess that you were fighting the enhancement?"

"Wouldn't you if it was forced on you?"

"That falls under the assault and rape laws. If you know who the offender is, then you can file a report."

"He can?" Inko asked.

"Yes."

They looked at Jason.

Jason looked inwardly. He wanted Willis Todd dead, but if he went to prison, he wouldn't be able to... "I'd like to file that report." Jason said. 'If I can get Willis in an isolated area then I can take him out on my own time. After completely destroying him.'

Touya woke up feeling better than he had in a long time. He stretched and yawned.

"Morning sleeping beauty." Hawks said.

"Go fuck yourself." He said rolling out of bed.

"Why should I when I have you for that?" Hawks asked.

"That was once." Touya said darkly.

"Admit it. You loved that night."

Touya closed the bathroom door and looked at himself.

"Is this about what your family would think?" Hawks asked outside the door. "Because I can tell you that Mirko feels the same way about Fuyumi..."

"Mirko and Fuyumi have known each other for less than a week?" Touya said. "How the hell can she love someone after only a week?"

"Ever hear of love at first sight?"

"That's some fairytale bullshit, and how does Mirko know that Fuyumi reciprocates her feelings?"

"There's this little thing called dating." Hawks said sarcastically. "You know the thing we've been doing for the last three years?"

"What do you call the two years before that?"

"Friend zone. We were both feeling each other out before we felt each other up. If you catch my drift."

"A corpse could have caught that."

"You should know."

"Fuck you."

"Only if you ask... whoops. Uh. Touya. You have some visitors."

"I'll be out in a minute." Touya said splashing some water in his face and rinsing his mouth out. He used the bathroom, washed his hands, and walked out to see his family and their bodyguards.

"How are you feeling?" Rei asked.

Touya lit his hands on fire. "110 percent." He spoke.

"Then let's go get lunch." Fuyumi said.

Touya got dressed in the clothes that Hawks had brought him, and they walked to the cafeteria.

They were sitting there when Shoto noticed someone.

"What's he doing here?" Shoto asked more to himself than anyone else.

Touya looked over to see a kid with black hair that seemed to tint red when the light hit it just right. It looked like the kid who helped protect that girl in Nedzu's office, and... He wanted to facepalm. It was the same kid who helped him.

"Do you know him Shoto?" He asked.

"From school." Shoto said.

"What's he doing in the hospital?" Rei asked.

Touya got up and walked over to him.

"Hey kid." He spoke.

The kid turned around. "Oh. Hey. You're Shoto's brother, right?"

"Yeah, but cut the crap. You're the kid in the armor."

"Guilty. What about it?"

"Thanks." Touya said gruffly. "For what you did."

"Don't mention it."

"So. What are you in for?"

"Some ass hole forced a Quirk enhancement on me."

"They what?"

"His Quirk was the ability to enhance other Quirks. He forced a Quirk enhancement on me like he was doing me a favor."

"Are you going after him?"

"Yeah."

"Want some help?"

"If you're offering, but I want to kill him."

"I'm in, but can you help me kill Endeavor?"

"I'm assuming you want to deal the final blow?"

"Yeah."

"I'm game." the kid said, extending his hand to shake.

Touya took the kids hand and noticed how hot it was. It wasn't uncomfortable by any means, but it was still startling.

The two shook hands before going their separate ways.

Touya sat down at his table.

"What was that about?" Natsuo asked.

"I just wanted to thank him for helping me."

"Aw." Hawks said. "You're just a big softie."

"I'll burn you, birdy." Touya threatened.

"Why is he in the hospital?" Fuyumi asked.

"Apparently someone forced a Quirk enhancement on him."

Rei, Fuyumi, And Barbara gasped in horror.

Natsuo, Mirko, and Hawks looked pissed.

Shoto showed no real emotion.

"Yeah." Touya said.

Jason sat down at his table and thought about killing Willis Todd.

Aizawa and Emi sat down on the far side of the room.

"Did you hear what they said?" Emi asked.

"Yeah." Aizawa said.

"What are we going to do?"

"I'm going to bring this up to Nedzu, and we are going to find out whoever hurt Haywood. Then we're going to put him and Endeavor in a maximum-security prison for their own protection."

"Tartarus?"

"I don't think we can pull that, but we can try."

"Haywood and Todoroki didn't deserve what happened to them, but is murder really what they think the answer is?"

"Considering what's happened to them I'm not surprised, but we need to try and stop them from becoming Villains."

"They are victims."

"That's not how the Hero commission would see it." Aizawa growled.

Emi pinched the bridge of her nose. "I hate this."

"So do I." Aizawa said. "So do I."

Chapter 19: Problems

Summary:

Problems ensue when Izuku wakes up in a void, Jason opens the Coroners report, Jason and Aizawa find a certain purple headed teen, Raven and Jason Blood have a talk. Things only escalate when Nedzu gets involved.

Izuku was standing in a void."Wh-where am I?" He asked.

"Calm down Young Midoriya. It is us. The previous users for One for All."

"Oh. So, are you going to teach me how to use One for All?"

"We will start out slowly. If you are able to learn quickly then we will meet again soon."

"What's the first lesson?"

A lean man with short, white hair that parted away from the base of his forehead, and thin eyes that slanted slightly downward walked from the shadows. He had two scar-like cracks stretching from the left side of his forehead down to his chin.

"I am Hikage Shinomori. I am the fourth wielder of One for All. My Quirk was 'Danger Sense'."

"Like a sixth sense?!" Izuku asked excitedly.

Yes. 'Danger Sense' will allow you to detect any potential threats in the surrounding area, thus giving you the opportunity to properly react to them quickly. It is similar to a sixth sense but be careful. The detection of a threat is like a sharp stabbing sensation that will make your head hurt."

"Okay. Is that all I need to know about it?"

"No. Danger Sense' will take a toll on your body depending on the threat."

"I see. Thank you for telling me." He said with a bow.

"Here." Hikage said extending his hand. "Take my hand, and I will transfer 'Danger Sense' to you."

Izuku took Hikage's hand and felt different. He looked around and saw that Hikage had disappeared. "Hello?"

"The one called Hikage Shinomori is no more. He has fused with you until you pass 'One for All' down or die."

"I understand." Izuku gulped.

"Next." The voice said.

A fairly short man with short, dark hair parted twice away from his narrow eyes walked out of the darkness. He was wearing what looked like a hero costume. He wore a large jacket with numerous straps and buttons, and a high collar that obscured his mouth and nose. He wore a pair of dark, fairly baggy pants and large white hiking boots. His forearms were also wrapped in sports tape.

"My name is En. I am a Pro Hero, and my Quirk is Smokescreen."

"Don't you mean that you were a Pro Hero?" Izuku asked.

En contemplated Izuku before speaking.

"Even though I died I still consider myself a Hero."

"I see." Izuku said with a bow. "Please forgive me."

"I forgive you. My Quirk is 'Smokescreen'. What you need to know about my Quirk is that 'Smokescreen' allows you to generate a thick cloud of smoke from your body. You can use the smoke to cover a wide area. With it you can obscure the vision of your opponents and catch them by surprise."

"That's so cool!"

"There is a downside to this though."

"Oh. Is it that if you make the smokescreen too thick then you run the risk of giving your opponent an advantage over you?"

"Yes. You have a truly analytical mind."

"Thanks."

"Take my hand, and you will unlock my Quirk."

Izuku took En's hand and felt different. It felt like a headache was starting.

"The Hero called En is no more. He has fused with you until you pass 'One for All' down or die."

"I understand." Izuku said with a bow.

"Can you continue?"

"I think I can do one or two more."

A large muscular man with a wide build walked out of the darkness. He had a square jaw, small eyes and lacked eyebrows. He was also bald but had a short beard. He wore dark leather clothes, stylish goggles, and a bandolier. He wore a leather jacket that had shoulder pads. It was open showing that he didn't wear a shirt revealing his muscular torso.

Izuku went beet red out of embarrassment.

"What's wrong kid?" He asked.

"N-nothing."

"Am I really that intimidating?"

"To me. I don't think Jason, Johnny, or Rogue would be intimidated by you."

"Okay. Well, my name is Diagoro Banjo. I was the fifth wielder of One for All, and my Quirk is 'Black Whip'." He punctuated this by creating a black tendril of energy.

"OH WOW! Just imagine the possibilities! You can grab people, swing into danger, out of danger, use it offensively and defensively..."

"Kid!" Diagoro yelled.

Izuku flinched. "Yes?"

"Yes 'Black whip is very versatile, but you can geek out later. Now. Do you want my Quirk or not?"

"Yes!" Izuku said, startling Diagoro with his determination.

"Then take my hand." Diagoro said reaching for Izuku.

Izuku shook hands with Diagoro and felt different. His body ached and itched before he heard the disembodied voices of One for All.

"That is enough. We will be back after you have acclimated to these Quirks."

Izuku bowed and passed out.

Jason looked at the envelope. He knew that he shouldn't open it considering that he just barely got out of the hospital, but he had to know. When he came back to U.A. Eri and Himiko had tackled him, and Eri hadn't stopped crying until he was sitting on the couch with her watching My Little Pony. She had started drawing a pony, but it looked like an original character.

Himiko was just cuddling into his side like a little kid. "Are you okay?" she'd asked.

"Yeah? Why?"

"You're hotter than usual."

"In what way?" He asked.

"Temperature wise." She spoke. "Your body is hotter than usual."

"So, you can feel that through the regulator shirt?"

"I guess. What's a regulator shirt?"

"It regulates my body temperature. My new body temperature is 93.3 degrees Celsius."

"That's hot."

"Yeah."

They watched 'My Little Pony' until Eri began falling asleep.

Jason put Eri to bed, and Himiko crawled in next to her. Jason sat on the couch and looked at the ponies Eri had been drawing. The first one was a pony with a red head and a green flank. The upper torso was grey, and the cutie mark was a red skull. He looked through the others and saw a green and white Pegasus with an auburn mane and tail that had a white streak along the top of both. The Cutie mark was a red circle with a black X in the center. A third one was all black except for the head and hooves. Those were white, and the mane was fire. The cutie Mark was a flaming chain. The fourth pony was ice blue with a white mane. The cutie mark was a snowflake. The fifth pony had an auburn mane with black hooves, a dark blue flank, a black midsection, and light blue upper torso with magenta streaks going along its back. Its cutie mark was three stripes resembling water. The last pony was green with the exception of its hooves, which were red. Its cutie mark was a rabbit that was hopping but had lightning coming from its feet and fire coming from its mouth.

He chuckled for a bit because Anna had to have drawn the cutie marks. He looked at the one that she had been working on and saw a tired looking pony. He had to keep himself from laughing so loud. He put the drawings back and grabbed the envelope he'd been dreading since he got it. He broke the seal but couldn't bring himself to read it. He got up and left. He made his way to the garage where he found Johnny working on his bike.

"Couldn't sleep?" Johnny asked.

"Nah. I was going to read this, but I couldn't bring myself to."

"Want me to?" Johnny asked.

"Sure." Jason said, handing Johnny the envelope.

Johnny opened the envelope and read through the report. "Damn." He spoke. "Sorry. That was pretty messed up, but the guy who killed your mom made a mess of her. I'm surprised that she lived as long as she did." Johnny kept reading. "Wait. What's this?"

"What?" Jason asked.

"Dude. It says that your mom was dying."

"WHAT!"

"Yeah. It says that she had an inoperable brain tumor."

"FUCK!" Jason yelled kicking a trash can across the garage, luckily missing the few cars that were parked, and hitting the wall. He began breathing heavily and his skin began smoking and growing red.

"Whoa!" Johnny yelled. "Jason! I need you to calm down!"

"That bastard took away my mom's last few months! How the hell do you expect me to calm down!"

"Because. He might have actually kept your mom from a painful death."

Jason went quiet before calming down. His skin stopped smoking and went back to its original skin tone. He leaned against the wall and gasped before sighing and eventually crying.

Johnny walked over and put a hand on his shoulder. "There is nothing I can do to make the pain your feeling go away. Trust me. I know that you're hurting, and you're angry, and probably a little bit bitter, but I know that with pain and sorrow, there is also happiness and joy. You may not understand this right now, but something good will come from it. Maybe it was getting Eri away from her torturers. Maybe it will be something else but remember that the darkest days often end with a rainbow."

" I need air." Jason said leaving.

Jason didn't know how long he walked, but he knew it was a long time. He was walking when he heard ragged breathing. He looked around and realized for the first time that he was able to see clearly in the dark, granted it was grey, but he could see clearly. He walked around and saw a kid lying on the ground, and it looked like he'd been beaten pretty badly. He looked around the kid and saw bruises around his neck, chin, mouth, and nose. He looked down at his wrist computer and called Jason Blood.

Jason Blood was roused from his sleep by his phone ringing. He looked at it and saw Peters' name. "Peter?" he asked, already awake. "What's wrong?"

"Dad. I couldn't sleep and was out for a walk when I found this kid passed out with bruises, and I wasn't sure who else to call."

"Did you call an ambulance?"

"Not yet."

"Where are you? I'll be over as fast as I can. Call an ambulance."

"Okay. I'm sending you my location now."

"I'll be there quickly." Jason hung up and got dressed.

"Gone, gone the form of man.

Release the Demon..."

He was surrounded by fire and emerged as...

"Etrigan!"

He opened the window and jumped out. He made his way to Peter's location before he changed back.

"Gone, gone O Etrigan,

Return once more the form of man."

Jason Blood walked over to Peter who was sitting next to the unconscious child. "Has he moved since you found him?"

"No, but I did a search and found out that his name is Hitoshi Shinso. His Quirk is 'Brainwashing', and I found several bruises. Some of them around his face."

"So, you're thinking that someone is muzzling him?"

"I think someone is abusing him."

The ambulance arrived shortly after and took Hitoshi to the hospital.

"Do you want to follow him?" Jason Blood asked.

"Not particularly. I want to follow the address and see where it leads."

"The sun will be rising soon."

"I know." Peter said before leaving. "See you later." he said with a wave.

Jason Blood went to the closest hospital.

Eraser Head was on patrol that morning, like every morning, and wasn't expecting much trouble. He needed something to take his mind off of the court case... and young Haywood. He was just about to finish his patrol when something, more like someone, caught his eye.

A figure was walking while looking down at their wrist.

He followed them and was surprised when they turned around to look at him.

"Hello Aizawa Sensei." Jason Haywood said.

"Haywood. What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk. I found a kid passed out with bruises on his face and body. So, I called an ambulance, and while I was waiting, I looked the kid up."

"And."

"His name is Hitoshi Shinso from Gen. Ed. His Quirk is 'Brainwashing'."

"Okay." Aizawa said, not liking where this was going.

"I looked up his address... turns out he's in the foster system."

Aizawa REALLY didn't like where this was going.

Jason's wrist computer beeped, and he looked at it. He growled at whatever he read before he showed Aizawa.

Aizawa facepalmed. "You're kidding me, right?"

"No, and I loathe those kinds of people. They are in it for the money, and not the kids' wellbeing."

Jason's wrist computer beeped again, and he looked at it.

"What is it?" Aizawa asked.

"Facial recognition found a match."

"How do you have facial recognition software?"

"I put it in my computer."

"Why would you run them through facial recognition?"

Jason showed Aizawa a picture of Shinso when he found him.

Aizawa glared at the picture. "I see. Let's go."

They walked to the house in silence. When they arrived at the house Aizawa knocked. They waited a few minutes before he knocked again. He knocked again a few minutes later.

Jason created his armor and a pair of guns.

Aizawa opened the door, and they walked in. They saw the destruction as soon as they walked in.

Jason walked up stairs while Aizawa looked downstairs.

"Be careful Haywood. Don't do anything reckless."

"I won't. You should be careful too."

Aizawa walked downstairs. The front room was a mess, the furniture was overturned, and the glassware was shattered. He moved onto the kitchen and found the knife block empty. He became even more vigilant. He looked down and saw a trail of... salt? He followed the trail and found a pile of salt with something sticking out of it. He walked over to the object and found a medical bracelet. The owner was diabetic. He looked around some more and froze. He saw salt in the shape of a hand. He felt something move behind him and spun around to see a child. She couldn't have been more than eight or nine.

"They hurt him." She spoke. "So, we stopped them."

"What?" Aizawa asked.

"They hurt Shinso. So, we stopped them."

"Who's we?" He asked.

"Ichirō and I. We stopped them. They won't hurt him again."

There was a thud upstairs and Aizawa ran upstairs with the girl not far behind him.

Jason walked upstairs and began searching through the rooms.

The first room was a bedroom. The bed had plain blue sheets, a nice solid wood dresser, and a desk with a lamp, computer, an in/out box, notebooks, textbooks, and a desk caddy with pens, pencils, highlighters, markers, notepads, sticky notes, and whatever else a dedicated student would need.

The second bedroom was much like the first one except the sheets were pink.

He walked to the third room and saw a brown futon, plastic dresser, and a card table with notebooks and a laptop that looked like it had seen better days. He looked around and saw a pile of clothes in the floor, and a muzzle with a chain tethered to the wall next to the futon. Under the futon was a bedpan. 'What the fuck?' he asked himself.

He moved onto the bathroom and saw an immaculate bathroom. Everything looked extremely nice. The shower was made out of tile with fluffy towels hanging next to the shower. The shower could be closed with an Opaque door to offer privacy. The toilet practically shined, and the sink looked like it was brand new.

He moved onto the final room at the end of the hall, and it was the master bedroom. He walked in and saw a kid lying on the bed with a corpse lying at the foot of the bed.

"Who the hell are you kid? Why did you kill this man?"

"Because he deserved it." The kid said.

"Why?"

"He beat Shinso. So, we killed him and the old lady."

"I applaud your efforts kid, but that's two murder charges. How are you going to cover it up?"

"With Honoka. Her Quirk will turn this hell hole into a pile of salt."

"What's your Quirk?"

"Mine lets me control probability. Like if you shoot me, what's the probability that you will shoot yourself?"

"Okay." Jason said. "I'm going to put my guns away now."

His guns disappeared and he looked at the kid.

"So, you control luck."

"That's one way of looking at it."

"So how did he die?"

"They were hitting and Kicking Shinso because he said that he didn't want to wear the mask again. Honoka touched the woman and turned her to salt, good riddance. That's when the old man tried attacking her."

"And?"

"I grabbed the knives from the knife block and threw one at him. He caught it and chased me up here. That's when I activated my Quirk and made him miss me every time. He stabbed himself to death. I didn't do anything."

"So, you're innocent."

"No. I'm guilty for letting them hurt Shinso as long as they did."

"Didn't CPS come check in?"

"Yeah, but they would need Eraser Head or a Hero who can see through bullshit to find anything wrong."

"What do you mean?"

"The old lady's Quirk was 'Glamour'. It let her make anything look like she wanted it to. CPS wouldn't see anything but what she wanted them to see."

"What about yours and Honoka's rooms?"

"Those are actually nice."

"Why?"

"We don't have a "Villains" Quirk."

"What about U.A.?"

"The old man's Quirk was a healing Quirk. It gets rid of any bruises that Shinso acquired the night before."

Jason hit the dresser in the room and shattered it.

"Dude! Chill! Yeah, it was bad, but they can't hurt anyone else anymore."

"Haywood!" Aizawa yelled from the end of the hall.

"In here!" Jason yelled.

Aizawa and a girl came running in.

"What happened?" Aizawa asked.

"Turns out it was worse than we thought. They were abusing him, keeping it hidden from the authorities, and healed him every morning to hide the abuse."

"What the fuck!" Aizawa yelled, enraged.

"Might I suggest calling Nedzu?"

"I'll do that. Grab their stuff and meet me outside."

"Will do."

Aizawa left, and Jason looked at Honoka.

"You gonna dust him?" He asked.

"Yeah." She said walking over to the old man and touching his shoulder before he turned to salt.

"Oh no." Jason said in a monotoned voice. "You shouldn't have done that. Now they won't be able to tell the cause of death."

"Good." Ichirō said spitting into the salt.

Jason looked at the two. "Grab your stuff."

"Why?" Ichirō scoffed. "So, you can send us to live in another house that has parents who live just like them?"

"No. I think I have an idea of who you guys could live with. If you're interested."

"Who are they?" Ichirō asked.

"The teachers at U.A. They are all pretty nice, and I'm sure we can find one of them who will take you guys in."

"Only if we can go together." Honoka said.

"I'll see what I can do."

They gathered their stuff, and Jason conveniently didn't hear the house starting to fall around them as Honoka turned it to salt as they walked out.

*Beep*

There was darkness.

*Beep*

And a strange beeping noise.

*Beep*

Where was he?

*Beep, beep*

He had to get out of here. Wherever here was.

*Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep*

The beeping was getting louder, and faster.

*Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep*

"Doctor!" A voice yelled.

"No! Help!" He yelled. He needed to get away from them. Did they beat him worse than the old man could handle this time?

"Young man, I need you to calm down." A smooth female voice said.

He felt something he could latch onto and grabbed it. "Let me go." He spoke.

The woman let go.

He opened his eyes and saw a bright florescent light up above. He wasn't in his room back at that house. He sat up and looked around. He felt pain, but nothing nearly as bad as when he had collapsed. He looked around and saw the nurse standing there. Waiting for him to tell her what to do. "I'm going to let you go now. I don't want you to hurt me." He let her out of his Quirk's control, and she looked at him.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Where am I?"

"Musutafu general hospital. How do you feel?"

"Better than I did. Who brought me in?"

"A gentleman who found you unconscious on the ground. Do you know your name?"

He thought about that. He could lie, but...

There was a knock on the door and a small voice spoke up. "Excuse me nurse, but do you suppose that I could talk to this young man for a moment?"

"Um... who are you?"

"I am Principal Nedzu. I am young Shinso's principal at U.A. I just wanted to ask him a few questions."

A woman walked in behind him out of breath.

"Damn it Nedzu Sensei." She spoke. "Why must you torment me like that?"

"Because it's fun being on this side of the maze." Nedzu said.

The woman picked someone up and placed an animal on the bed.

Shinso looked at the animal before looking at the woman. "Who are you?" He asked.

"My name is Hinata Sato."

"And I am Principal Nedzu."

"Why are you here?"

"What was your home life like?" Nedzu asked.

"It was fine." Shinso said defensively.

"Hmm. I know what it's like to be in an abusive relationship." Nedzu said.

"So do I." Hinata added.

"What do you know?" Shinso snapped. "Did you dread going home every day? Did you wish that a villain would just kill you on your way home? Did you just wish that you wouldn't wake up the next morning so the pain and torture would just end?"

"Yes." Hinata said startling Shinso.

"How do you know?"

Hinata rolled up her sleeves to show the word... Villain... carved into her arm. She rolled up her other sleeve to show... Monster... carved into that arm. She unzipped the jacket that she was wearing and pulled down her turtleneck collar to show the scar along her throat before pulling it down farther to show... Useless... carved into her upper chest. She pulled up her shirt to show... whore, and slut... carved into her stomach.

Nedzu was quietly pondering revenge against the monster who did that to one of his students... again.

Shinso looked at her in horror.

"I didn't show you that to earn pity or make you feel bad. I lived in the foster system after my parents were killed. The monster who I lived with... her Quirk was basically like a voodoo doll. She took a picture of a person and could draw on it to make scars appear."

"Why did she do that to you?" Shinso asked.

"Because I was a beautiful, young girl, and she was an ugly old cat lady who wore nothing but pink and had self-esteem issues. If it weren't for Nedzu Sensei I probably would have died like the others."

"Others?"

"Yes. I wasn't the first one. She always passed it off as the girls being bullied but not talking to her about it, and then she'd cry. Finally, Nedzu had enough of it and investigated her and sent her to prison for multiple life sentences and had me put with a nice family. When I graduated, I wanted to help people like me, so I became a CPS Hero, and now I want to help you."

"Chef Glamour." Shinso said. "Chef Glamour and her husband."

"What?" Nedzu and Hinata asked. They were shocked but knew that anyone could be an abuser.

"They said that my 'Brainwashing' was a Villains Quirk, and therefore they had to beat it out of me."

Hinata walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and shrieked in rage before coming out. "Continue." She spoke.

"Her Quirk was a Glamour Quirk that let anyone she wanted to see what she wanted them to. She did it when CPS came over and they would see that I was in a nice room, and that I was just moody despite having a nice home."

Nedzu rubbed his head in frustration.

"Mr. Glamour would hit me and kick me for no reason, and whenever I went to bed, he would put a mask on my face so I couldn't use my Quirk on them."

"THEY FUCKING MUZZLED YOU LIKE A DOG!" Hinata yelled enraged.

"Yeah." Shinso said flinching. "The one time that Ichirō or Honoka tried to help me they thought I brainwashed them and hurt me even more."

"Nedzu Sensei." Hinata said harshly. "I swear to whatever nonexistent god is up there that I'm going to kill them."

"Too late." Shinso said. "I think that Ichirō and Honoka beat you to it."

"What makes you say that?"

"When they were attacking me Ichirō and Honoka stepped in to try and stop it and told me to run."

"Why do you think they are dead?"

"Honoka can turn whatever she touches to salt, and Ichirō can effect probability. They are dead. I wouldn't be surprised if the house is destroyed too."

Nedzu and Hinata looked at each other.

"What?" Shinso asked.

"The house was destroyed." Nedzu said. "Turned completely to salt. Nothing was left standing."

"Doesn't surprise me." Shinso sighed. "What's going to happen to them?"

"Well." Hinata said. "I know a few people who would be willing to adopt a few kids down on their luck."

"Who would want a kid with a villains Quirk?" Shinso asked self-deprecatingly.

Nedzu and Hinata looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"Wait. What are..."

"OH! MY!! GOD!!!" Emi Fukukado yelled at a decibel that would put Present Mic to shame.

They were sitting in Nedzu's office being updated on the situation, and Shinso had just been led in.

"You look like a mini Aizawa! You are so cute that I just want to..."

Aizawa put his hand over her mouth. "Damn it Joke!" He said in an annoyed tone. "Has anyone ever told you how loud you are?"

She mumbled against his hand.

"What?" he asked before pulling his hand away and wiping it on his shirt.

"I said." Emi said in a softer tone. "You. At least once a day."

"Yes, yet you are still very loud."

"But look at him!" She yelled. "He could be your son!"

"You are literally the only person I have ever had sex with, and we always use protection." Aizawa said in a bored tone. "How could he be my child?"

"Some woman found your DNA on the street, synthesized a strand that could be tacked onto an unsuspecting husband's DNA before him and his wife made hot, passionate love, and boom. Shinso was born and is technically your son." Emi said breathing heavily.

Nedzu just chuckled. "While that is technically a possibility..." he said. "... I find it unlikely that this is the case. Though an amusing story."

"Don't encourage her." Aizawa said.

"Why don't you two take Shinso home." Nedzu said. "Here is his case file. I suggest you read it." Nedzu said letting his tone shift ever so slightly that only Aizawa noticed it.

"Of course." Aizawa said with a bow.

Emi got up and bowed as well before leading Shinso out after Aizawa.

Nedzu looked out the window. He wondered how Present Mic and Midnight were doing.

"Hey there kiddo." Nemuri said to Honoka. "What's your name?"

Honoka stayed Quiet.

"My name is Nemuri."

Honoka stayed quiet.

"Would you like something to eat?"

Honoka's stomach growled in response to that question.

"We can order out or I can cook something if you want. What are you hungry for?"

"I want to know what happened to Shinso and Ichirō." Honoka said firmly.

"I can call Aizawa and Hizashi. They took custody of Shinso and Ichirō. We can meet somewhere for dinner."

"Fine, but if you're lying, I'll turn your food into salt."

"Okay. Okay. Let me call them and get changed." She said pointing at her Hero costume she was still wearing. "Do you want me to take you to your room so you can put your stuff away?"

"Fine." Honoka sighed.

Nemuri led Honoka to a room in her apartment.

Honoka walked to the bed and sat down on it. She laid down and felt that the bed was too soft. She got up and turned it to salt before laying on the floor. She was lying on the floor when Nemuri came in.

"What happened to the bed!?" She asked.

"I turned it to salt." Honoka said like the bed had insulted her.

"Why?"

"It was too soft. I don't deserve a soft bed."

Nemuri dropped to a knee and looked Honoka in the eyes. "Why do you think you don't deserve it?" She asked.

"Shinso never had a nice bed or room. He just had a futon, and the bowl he used for a bathroom, and the mask they made him wear at night."

"What?!" Nemuri asked in horror.

"They treated him like a bad person even though he wasn't a bad person. He always helped us when he could, and never hurt us because they treated him badly. He didn't even hate us when he could have." Honoka started crying. "He only hated them for only seeing him as a villain."

Nemuri pulled Honoka into a hug. "I'm so sorry." She spoke. "I'm so sorry that he went through that."

"Why couldn't they see him for the good person that he was!" Honoka yelled into Nemuri's shoulder.

Nemuri hugged Honoka a little tighter.

Hizashi looked at Ichirō. "Hey there little listener!" He yelled.

"What's up Screamo." Ichirō said.

"I like you kid. We're going to get along just fine."

"Just keep coffee in the coffee pot, melon soda in the fridge, snacks in the cupboard, and anime on the T.V. And we'll be good."

"I like you little listener." Hizashi laughed. "But not that much." He walked away, and slipped on the carpet, face planting.

"Nedzu told me about your Quirk little listener, but don't think that you can use it to get your way."

"Okay." Ichirō said content with the situation. "I wanted to see how you would react to my Quirk. You passed."

"I'm glad to hear it, but I teach high schoolers for a living little listener. You don't know what true fear is until you've met a bunch of hormonal teenagers."

"Is it scarier than watching your brother be tortured because he has a villains Quirk?" Ichirō asked harshly.

"I didn't mean it like that little listener. Do you want to talk about it?"

"No."

"Okay..." Hizashi said before his phone went off. He looked at it and saw a message for Nemuri.

Nemuri: Hey. Want to get dinner with Honoka and I? She's really worried about Shinso and Ichirō.

"That was Nemuri." Hizashi said. "She wants to know if we want to get dinner with Shinso and Honoka."

"Let's go." Ichirō said walking to the door.

"Hold on a second little listener. I have to get changed first."

"Then do it and let's go."

"Let me show you to your room, and you can decide what you want to do with it."

"Does it have a bed?"

"Yes?" Hizashi asked confused.

"I think I'll crash on the couch." Ichirō said.

"Why?"

"Those shit heads gave us really nice rooms but gave Shinso a shit hole of a room. I won't sleep on a bed unless Shinso has a better room than we had."

"Okay, okay. I'll talk to Shota and Emi." Hizashi said. "But if you really want to sleep on the couch, I won't stop you."

"Okay."

Hizashi went to his room and dressed in a pair of black slacks, a white t-shirt, red jacket that showed his midriff, golden chain necklace, and red bead bracelet. He was putting his hair in a ponytail when he walked back into the front room. "Okay." He spoke. "Let's go little listener."

Hizashi and Ichirō left the apartment.

Shota and Emi led Shinso into their house.

"We'll take you up to your room now." Aizawa said. "Let's get you settled in. Then we can take you shopping and get you something to eat."

"Sure. Whatever." Shinso said.

"You will be free to do whatever you wish." Aizawa said. "This is your home now."

"Just show me my room." He spoke.

They walked upstairs and to the left.

"This will be your room." Aizawa said.

*POP!* "Yay!" Emi yelled, popping a confetti popper.

Shinso looked at the room. "So, this is the new screensaver." He said in a bored tone.

"No." Emi said. "This is your new room. We aren't going to hurt you or treat you poorly. We want to help you."

"At least until you get bored or Nedzu tells you to stop."

"No, no. Not at all." Emi said. "Look. We know that you have had a difficult life, but we really want to help you."

Aizawa's phone rang. He looked at it and saw a message from Nemuri.

Nemuri: Hey. Want to get dinner with Honoka and I? She's really worried about Shinso and Ichirō.

"Nemuri wants to have dinner together. Honoka is worried about Shinso and Ichirō."

"How does that sound?" Emi asked Shinso.

"Sure. Whatever." Shinso said.

"We'll get changed." Aizawa said. "You get settled in, and we'll leave afterwards. On the way home we will pick you up some more clothes and whatever else you want and need."

"Whatever." Shinso said.

Aizawa and Emi went to their room to change.

"I can't believe someone did that to him." Emi said, taking off her shirt.

"I'm not surprised." Aizawa said, handing her a casual outfit. "People can be cruel to those who don't fit in. Remember Mic and Nemuri?"

"Don't forget yourself." Emi said putting on the long-sleeved shirt, and taking off her shorts, and pulling on a pair of pants. "You were also treated horribly. Your father was a drunk and would hit you and your mother."

"The day I took him down was the most satisfying day of my life." Aizawa said taking off his capture scarf and putting it in a messenger bag.

"I'm sure if we asked Mic and Nemuri they would say something similar." Emi said taking her socks off and pulling a new pair on.

"What are the chances that the big three from our year would come from broken families?" Aizawa asked, taking off his Hero costume and grabbing an outfit.

"Considering it happened." Emi said. "I'd say it's pretty high."

Aizawa got dressed in a pair of black pants, a black long-sleeved shirt, and black socks. "Let's go." He said putting his knife on the back of his pants and covering it with his shirt.

They went to Shinso's room and saw him asleep on the bed. He looked so peaceful.

Emi took a picture. "I guess we aren't going out tonight."

Aizawa took out his phone and sent a text to Hizashi and Nemuri. Aizawa: Shinso is asleep. We won't be making it to dinner.

Nemuri: We will grab something for dinner and come over. I don't want Honoka to turn anymore furniture to salt.

Hizashi: And Ichirō won't sleep in his bed until he knows that Shinso has a bed that's nicer than the one he and Honoka had.

Aizawa: Considering what I saw in that hellhole. I don't blame them for wanting better for him.

Nemuri: What do you think Shinso would want for dinner?

Aizawa: Don't know. He doesn't trust anyone. Understandably.

Hizashi: We'll be there shortly.

Shota put his phone away and looked at Shinso.

They stayed like that until the door opened and Hizashi walked in.

"Hey there." he said softly. "How's the little listener doing?"

"Still asleep." Emi said.

Ichirō looked at Shinso's room. "It's nice and everything, but not nice enough. Looks like I'm sleeping on the couch tonight."

"Hey." Emi said in faux anger. "He's only been here for less than an hour. If you come back next week, he'll have the best room you've ever seen."

"Looks like I'm sleeping on the couch for a week then." Ichiro said not budging on his stance.

"Come on little listener." Hizashi practically begged.

"You weren't there!" Ichiro hissed. "You don't know what he went through! I can't even look at a bed without flashing back to his room!"

"What if we go to the store tomorrow..." Hizashi suggested. "... and you can pick out what you want in your room?"

"Fine, but I'm still not sleeping in it until he has the best room he can have."

"Why don't we make a day out of it?" Emi suggested.

"Make a day out of what?" Nemuri asked. "Sorry for just walking in." She was wearing a pair of black slacks with a pink and purple plaid shirt with her hair in a ponytail and a purse over her shoulder and crossed over her chest. In her hands she had bags from a local restaurant.

"We are going to take Shinso, Ichiro, and Honoka bedroom shopping tomorrow."

"Yay!" Midnight said. "That'll be fun, right Honoka?"

"Whatever." Honoka sighed.

They sat down at the table and ate dinner. While they ate, they talked about whatever they felt like, and eventually it was time for Hizashi and Nemuri to leave. Shota and Emi were cleaning up when A purple haired zombie walked into the kitchen.

"I guess I missed dinner." Shinso sighed.

"No." Emi said. "We have plenty of leftovers. You won't have to worry about going hungry again."

"Then... could I..."

Emi pushed the leftovers into Shinso's arms. "Help yourself." She spoke. "I'm not normally like this, but once you get used to home here, I'll go back to my normal self."

"Never get used to this place." Shota said with a thousand yard stare.

Emi hit Shota in the chest. "And you say that you don't have a sense of humor." She spoke.

"I don't."

"AH HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Emi grabbed her stomach and started rolling on the floor laughing.

"Is she always like that?" Shinso asked.

"Yes."

"And is it..."

"Yes."

"How do you cope?"

"Coffee and cats."

"Really?" Shinso asked, his interest piqued.

"Yes. Eat dinner and I'll show you them afterwards."

"Aww!" Emi cooed. "You're already bonding."

Aizawa just left the kitchen while Shinso reheated the leftovers.

"Hey." Emi said.

"Yes?" Shinso asked.

"Knock, knock."

"What?"

"Knock, knock."

"I don't get it."

"What do you do when someone knocks on the door?"

"Ask who's there and open the door?"

"Yes. So, say who's there."

"Okay."

"Knock, knock."

"Who's there?"

"A little old lady."

"What?"

"No, no, no. You're supposed to say, 'a little old lady who?'."

"Okay."

"Knock, knock."

"Who's there?"

"A little old lady."

"A little old lady who?"

"Hey. You can yodel!"

"I don't get it."

"You will." Emi said. "You will."

The next day

Ochako stood in front of the Class 1A door. Should she go in? Could she face Deku-Kun? He hadn't replied to her call or text yet. Was he ignoring her because she said that she loved him? It was so embarrassing! She covered her face with her hands and negated her gravity.

Something wrapped around her midsection and pulled her down. "Are you okay Uraraka-Chan?" Tsu asked around her tongue.

"I'm so embarrassed." Ochako said. "I said something embarrassing, and now Deku-Kun is avoiding me!"

"What? No, he's not. Why would you say that?"

"He hasn't replied to my texts from last week."

"That's most likely because this past week has been kind of intense."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's get inside class, and I'll tell you what's happened."

They went inside the class and sat down. Tsu told Ochako what had happened the last week, and Ochako was shocked by the attack on the school, and Eri. Tsu had just finished when the door opened, and Izuku walked in.

"Deku-Kun!" Ochako yelled.

"Uraraka-San!" Izuku shouted running up to her. "Oh no! I'm so sorry I forgot to reply to you. So much has happened, and I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to ignore you. I just..."

"Deku-Kun!" Ochako said grabbing his shoulders, remembering to keep her pinkies out. "It's okay. Tsu told me that this week was intense."

"You only have a small part of the picture." Izuku said.

"What do you mean?"

"After I listened to your message..." He blushed Crimson. "... I like you too Uraraka-San."

Ochako blushed crimson and covered her face.

Tsu caught her when she began floating.

"After I listened to your messages I got attacked by a villain."

"What!" Everyone asked before Aizawa came in.

"Sit down." Aizawa said. "Class is starting. You can talk after class. Now. As you can tell. Haywood and Todoroki aren't here today. Haywood will be back tomorrow, and Todoroki will be back next week. Now. Let's start class."

They went through their morning classes and when lunch came, they met at the table with Izuku and Ochako.

"Tell us what happened!" Denki yelled.

"Are you okay?" Hagakure asked?

"Wait, wait. Wait!" Izuku said calming everyone down.

He told the story of that day and how Mic helped him fight off the villains who tried catching him.

"You fought off multiple Villains!" Kirishima yelled. "That's so manly!"

They talked like that for the rest of lunch before it was time to go to afternoon classes.

They walked into the gym.

"Hello!" All Might boomed. "Today we will be continuing the one-on-one fights we started last week. Now! Who wants to go first?"

The room went quiet.

"How about you Young Midoriya?"

"M-me?"

"Why not?"

Izuku walked down to the arena and waited.

"Young Tokoyami." All Might boomed. "Why don't you fight Young Midoriya?"

"Very well." Tokoyami said getting up. He walked down to the arena and waited for the fight to begin.

"Begin!" All Might yelled starting the fight.

"Dark Shadow!" Tokoyami yelled trying not to give Izuku the chance to come up with a plan.

Izuku flinched and created a smokescreen, disappearing into the smoke.

'What!' All Might thought. 'What is this?'

Tokoyami and Dark shadow were confused.

Twin black tendrils shot out of the smoke and pulled Dark Shadow into the smoke. There was a flash of light and a burst of energy that sent Dark Shadow out of the smoke before he was pulled back in by the tendrils.

"Dark Shadow!" Tokoyami shouted.

There was a flash of light and Dark Shadow was sent flying into Tokoyami, knocking him out of the arena. The smoke cleared and Izuku was standing there. "Sorry Tokoyami!" He shouted. "I guess I put too much power behind that. I didn't mean to."

"What!" Kirishima yelled. "What was that!"

"Young Midoriya." All Might said. "Please stay after class. I'd like to talk to you."

"Um. Okay." Izuku said nervously.

The rest of class went by quickly.

"Don't worry about it sugar." Rogue said after a fight with Johnny ended in her favor. He nodded at her and watched the last fight eagerly.

After class he walked up to All Might who walked him to the teachers' lounge where Aizawa was asleep in his sleeping bag. All Might deflated and sat down on one of the couches. "Young Midoriya. When did you get those new additions to your Quirk?"

"Last night." Izuku said. "I had a dream and when I woke up, I was able to use them. I was surprised that I was able to use them as effectively as I did. Did I do something wrong?"

"No Young Midoriya." All Might said. "You did nothing wrong. I just wanted to know because..." All Might lowered his voice. "... those are Quirks used by previous One for All users."

"Yeah." Izuku said. "I know. They told me."

All Might coughed up blood. "You already knew!" He yelled.

"Y-yes? I found out while training with Jason."

"Of course, you did." All Might sighed. "Young Haywood has been helping you out when I should have been the one teaching you."

"It's not like that!" Izuku yelled flapping his arms. "You're a teacher and you're busy!"

"Thank you Young Midoriya, but it is not Young Haywood's place to teach you how to use your Quirk. That is why from now on I will take a more active role in teaching you, and in order for that to happen. You need to know something about me."

"What?"

"I... was Quirk-less too."

Nedzu's office.

Nedzu was enjoying afternoon tea when he heard...

"YOU WERE WHAT!"

"Hehe." He chuckled. It sounds like Toshinori told Young Midoriya that he was Quirk-less."

Nedzu sipped his tea as if nothing had happened.

Jason Blood and Peter Haywood were in an outdoor sparring area. They were sizing each other up before they started their spar. Jason Blood jumped at Peter and stabbed his hand at him.

Peter dodged to the left and punched Jason's arm causing it to seize up from the blow.

Jason spun around and hit Peter with his injured arm, sending him to the ground.

Peter rolled to his feet and kicked out at Jason. Hitting him in the side.

Jason went with the kick and rolled backwards to his feet before charging Peter.

Peter jumped to the side and grabbed Jason before putting him in a choke hold that got tighter the longer, he struggled.

Jason tapped out.

Peter let go and wiped his forehead on his arm.

"You are very skilled Peter." Jason said.

"Kind of had to be since I couldn't rely on my Quirk."

"Speaking of which. How are you coping?"

"I don't know. I haven't been able to talk to Efreeti since my Quirk got enhanced, so it's kind of weird. I don't feel any drawbacks to my Quirk. I can create pretty much anything I want, as many of an object, it doesn't matter. I can't feel any negative side effects."

"I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing." Jason said sympathetically. "I'm sorry."

"It's not like you're the one who did this to me."

"What about emotions? Are any of your emotions stronger than the others?"

"No. I feel... normal I guess."

"What is normal for you?"

"I guess my new normal is just trying to be a good student, class President, friend, Hero in training, Vigilante, and kid."

"I see. Do you ever take mental health days?"

"Not really, no. I don't have the luxury for those."

"Why not?"

"Look at my shit hole of a life. Villains are trying to kill me every other day! My friends are in danger because I am a target! I became the brother to a girl whose parents were neglecting and abusing her! I became the guardian of a girl who was being tortured, ripped apart, and put back together because of some ass hole! My mom was dying and couldn't find the courage to tell me because... because... FUCK! Why couldn't she tell me!" He yelled.

Jason Blood was not a very affectionate man, and the fact that his son was in emotional agony, and there was nothing he could do was eating away at him.

So, he did the one thing he could do.

"Hello?" Raven asked when she picked up her phone.

"Yes. Raven. I'm having a bit of trouble."

"What kind of trouble?"

"It's Peter. I'm not sure how to comfort him, and he is in desperate need of comfort."

"I'm on my way." Raven said leaving her and Marie's room at U.A. She was on her way out when she saw a girl that looked like the girl Marie said that Jason had a thing for. She walked up to the girl. "Um... hello."

"Hello." The girl said. "Are you lost? Kero, kero."

"No. Are you friends with Jason Haywood?"

"Yes. Why?"

"He's not in a good place, emotionally, and I was wondering if you knew anyone who could help him out of his funk."

"We were planning on going out somewhere when he was steadier after his mom died. Kero, kero."

"So could you help?"

"I suppose, but how do I know that you are who you say you are? Kero, kero."

"I am Rogue's mother."

"Okay. Could you call her to prove that?"

"Smart girl." Raven said, taking out her phone.

She called Marie who picked up after the second ring.

"Hey mama. What's up?"

"Hey Marie. I'm here with one of your friends and she wanted to make sure I'm who I say I am."

"Okay. Put them on."

Raven handed the girl the phone.

"Hello?" Rogue answered.

"Rogue. It's me. Kero, kero."

"Oh. Hey Tsu. What's up?"

"Your mom just came up and asked me to go check on Jason with her because he's depressed, and needs cheering up."

"Oh. Do you want me to come with you?"

"If you wouldn't mind."

"Okay. I'll meet you at the front gates in five minutes."

"Okay. Thanks Rogue. Kero, kero."

"No problem. See you soon."

Tsu handed Raven her phone back. "Okay. I believe you."

"You're a very smart girl."

"I know. I also know that if you wanted to hurt me that you couldn't thanks to the teachers, students, and Principal Nezu."

"That's good. Should we go meet Rogue?"

"Sure. Let's go."

They left the school and met Rogue out front by the gates.

"Hey Tsu." She spoke.

"Hello. Kero, kero."

"Hi mama."

"Hello Marie." Raven said. "How was school?" she asked as they started walking to where Jason Blood and Haywood were. When they arrived, they saw Jason Blood standing silent vigilance over Jason Haywood.

Raven walked up and knelt down next to Jason Haywood. "Hey there kiddo. Want to tell me what's wrong?"

"Did you know that my mom was dying?" He asked.

Raven's silence was all the answer he needed.

"Did you even love her?" He asked harshly.

"Of course, I did." Raven said calmly, though Jason could feel her anger. "I wanted her to be happy, and you were what made her happy." Raven wiped a tear from her eye. "So, I watched as the woman I had grown to love gave all of her love to you."

"She should have left with you. At least you would have been able to make her happy."

"She would have brought you along. She wouldn't have been happy without you there."

"But I caused her so much pain and trouble."

"You're a teenager. You're still learning how the world works and think you know everything. It's what you're supposed to do."

"But..."

"No buts mister. Now. Rogue and Tsu are here. You are going to go do teenager stuff to get your mind off this topic while I talk with your dad."

Rogue grabbed Jason and pulled him to his feet.

"Let's go." She spoke.

Tsu leaned in close to Jason and soaked up his extra body heat.

When they were out of earshot Raven looked at Jason Blood. "Explain. Now!"

"Explain what?" He asked.

"You should have been able to handle that! You're his father for crying out loud!"

"I am not good at comforting others."

"Then you better learn!" She yelled. "You're struggling with Sheila's death, but he's struggling worse! He's lived with her his entire life, and one day she's gone. He needs a strong caring hand to guide him through this time in his life. So, either buck up like his father or leave!"

"I suppose I must do what's best for Peter."

"No shit Sherlock!"

"Then I must regrettably leave him in more capable hands than mine."

"Good. Sign custody of him over to Inko then."

"Very well. It will be done by the end of the week."

"After you sign custody over." Raven said. "Stay out of Jason's life. He already has one shitty father. He doesn't need a second one."

Meanwhile. At a complex in America

Willis Todd walked into the conference room with his three bodyguards, two on his sides and one behind him.

"Nice of you to join us, Todd." A man said condescendingly.

"Forgive me." Willis said. "I just got back from Japan."

"Did you take care of your personal business?" A woman asked.

"Not yet, but I have sowed the seeds."

"Excellent. Now. Does anyone have anything to say before we begin?"

"Actually yes." Willis said getting up.

"Well?"

"I am taking over." He spoke. "You can either join me or die."

The other members of the group looked at each other before looking at Willis and back at each other.

"Willis. This meeting is to decide the next leader of the syndicate. You can't just say that you are the leader now."

"I gave you the chance to hand control over to me." Willis said. "Now I'll take it by force." Two of his bodyguards stood beside him and a force field surrounded them. The third bodyguards body began glowing brighter and brighter until he exploded sending shrapnel from the chairs, table, lights, ceiling, and floor in every direction of the room. When the dust cleared everyone, but Willis and his bodyguards were dead. "Tell the others." Willis said. "We're taking over."

"So?" Touya asked standing in front of a house. "What do you guys think?"

They were standing outside a modest house. It was a two story, three-bedroom, two-bathroom house.

"It's nice." Rei said.

"The bedrooms were nice." Natsuo added. "But where will everyone sleep? There's five of us, and three rooms."

"So should we look for a bigger house?" Touya asked.

"Why don't you, Shoto, and Natsuo share the master bedroom. While mom takes one of the rooms, and I take the other room?" Fuyumi said.

Touya moved his hand to scratch the back of his head causing Fuyumi to flinch back on instinct. 'Fuck you Endeavor.' Touya thought. "I'm sorry Umi." Touya said. "I didn't mean to scare you."

"No, no. It's not your fault."

"It's not yours either." Natsuo said. "It's Endeavor's."

"Natsuo's right Umi. Endeavor screwed all of us up."

Fuyumi nodded.

"We still have to decide what we're going to do about the house though." Natsuo said.

"What about the house in Natsuo's Quirk?" Shoto asked. "Why can't we use that one? It's got the room... right?"

Everyone looked at Shoto before they looked at Natsuo.

"It has seven rooms, three of which have bathrooms in it, a bathroom in the hallway. It has a nice kitchen, living room, attic, den. In fact, the only problem you might have is that it looks a little lived in."

"Don't lie." Touya said. "It looks like a boy's dormitory."

"Natsuo." Fuyumi complained. "Is that true?"

"Maybe." he said sheepishly.

"Well." Rei said. "We might as well clean it up now."

The Todoroki family went to the Miruko's Hero Agency. When they arrived Miruko met them with a slime on her face, and a hug for Fuyumi and Rei and handshakes for Touya, Natsuo, and Shoto.

"What can I do for you guys?" She asked.

"We need a place that we can access Natsuo's Quirk." Fuyumi explained. "And it seemed weird to do it in the middle of nowhere."

"Yeah. That could get awkward."

"Not that way." Touya complained with his hand over his eyes. "She meant cleaning the place out. Have you been inside it?"

Miruko burst into laughter as someone caught the dirtiness of her joke. "You should see the look on your face."

"Fuck you." Touya said flipping her off.

"No thanks. While I'm flattered, I swing the other way. As Hawks has said you and he do."

"Fuck that bird." Touya growled.

"You do. From what he's told me. Very nicely from his praise."

"I'm about to have roasted rabbit if you don't stop talking."

"Touya." Rei said. "I want you to be happy, and I don't care who you love, just tell me that you are using protection."

Touya went beet red. "Of course, I am mom!" He yelled embarrassed.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you. It's just. I know what it's like to be unloved and I don't want that for any of you. I just want you guys to be happy no matter who you are happy with. Just promise me that we you are happy and being safe."

"Yes mom." He grumbled in embarrassment.

"Now that the embarrassment is over..." Hawks said flying down from the ceiling.

Rei stalked over to Hawks and got up in his face. "If you so much as hurt a single hair on Touya's head I will tear your world a-fucking-sunder, and no Hero Commission will be able to save you from me."

"Please don't tear Touya apart." Hawks said. "He's my whole world."

Rei was taken aback by that but came around when she heard everyone but Touya and Shoto laughing, and Touya groaning loudly before slamming his head into the wall.

After everyone stopped laughing, and Touya stopped giving himself brain damage, they went into Natsuo's pocket.

"Oh my gosh." Fuyumi whined. "Natsuo! My school kids are cleaner than you."

Miruko picked up a pair of basketball shorts. "I've seen worse." She spoke. "You aren't a junkie right, Natsuo?"

"No." Natsuo said. "Just a Klepto."

"I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you." Rei said. "I should have been there for you."

"What do you mean mom?" Fuyumi asked.

"I have a child I thought I lost. A child who suffers from anxiety. A child who turns to crime. And a child who suffers from psychological trauma. Not to mention that all four of you suffer from some form of PTSD. I'm so sorry." She said before she started crying.

Touya glared at Natsuo. Before walking over to Rei. "Mom. You suffered more than any of us." He said wrapping her in a hug. "He bought you like a side of beef. Raped you, not once, but four times. He beat you whenever you tried to defend us. He terrified you to the point that you thought Shoto was him, and you lashed out at him. He gave you more trauma, anxiety, and PTSD than any of us."

Rei grabbed Touya and sobbed into his chest. "Do you know the worst part of all of this?" she asked in a muffled voice.

"No. What is it?"

"I realized what I'd done to Shoto after I did it, and I panicked. I tried putting out the heat with my own Quirk!"

"Shota has heat resistance on that side of his body." Touya said. "The hot water probably just startled him, but then the cold from your Quirk is what actually hurt him."

Rei nodded into Touya's chest. "The most painful Shoto ever experienced wasn't caused by his father..."

"It was caused by you." Shoto finished.

Rei sobbed into Touya's chest louder. "YES!" She sobbed causing everyone else to feel her pain in that anguish filled cry.

Shoto walked up and hugged his mom from behind. "I don't blame you." He spoke. "I blame him for what he did to you."

"But I know different." She sobbed.

The group pitied Rei and cursed Endeavor.

Jean was sitting at her desk at the agency when she zoned out. When she zoned back in, she was in a burning building.

"Hello!" She called out. "Is anyone in here?"

"Hello!" A voice called out. "Are you okay?"

"Yes!" She called out.

"Please stand away from the wall."

Jean stood at the far end of the room she was trapped in. A few seconds later the wall exploded as the pieces floated up.

A hero who looked like a fiery frog and hero who looked like a male Ochako with a green suit instead of pink ran in.

"Don't worry." The frog said through a voice modulator. "I am the Hero 'Hellfrog', and this is 'Zero Gravity'. We're here to rescue you."

Zero Gravity picked Jean up and Hellfrog hopped behind them making sure to keep the fire away from them by absorbing the fire into their body. When they escaped the inferno Hellfrog reached for their ear and said into the comm. "Ice it!" They yelled.

The building was wrapped in water and frozen, putting the fire out. The building glowed a hellish red before the ice melted sending water cascading into the street.

"Seriously Hellfrog!" A demonic voice said. "What the hell is your problem!"

Hellfrog took the voice modulator off to show a girl. "Oh, get over it Razor. We saved everyone and you melted through the ice."

"The name is 'Hellrazor' thank you very much."

"Fine... Hellrazor. I knew that you could survive the temperature drop by flaring up what's the big deal?"

"What if it wasn't me? What if I had civilians with me?"

"You didn't. Or did you forget..."

"Excuse me." Jean said.

Everyone looked at her.

"Oh." Zero Gravity said. "Sorry about this. It might look like we're fighting, but this is just a discussion about the op."

"Thank you for saving me, but who are you guys?"

"We're heroes." A pale kid with platinum blond hair on one half of his head and Snow-White hair on the other half said. "I'm 'Kamal: The Snow Devil'."

"I'm 'Ariel: The Water Sprite'." A girl with Auburn hair that had gold streaks said.

"I'm 'Zero Gravity: The Gravity Hero'." The kid who looked like a male version of Ochako with Izuku's color scheme said. "The moody one is 'Hellrazor: the Dancing Inferno'." Zero Gravity said.

"And I'm 'Hellfrog: The Hellfire Hero'." Hellfrog said.

"It's nice to meet you all." Jean said scanning their minds.

Kamal was the son of 'Icy Hot: The Half and Half Hero' and 'Yuki Onna: the Ice Queen'.

Ariel was the daughter of 'Naiad: The Water Sprite' and 'Brokk: The Ice Smith'.

Zero Gravity was the son of 'Uravity: The Gravity Hero' and 'Dekiru the Dragon'.

Hellrazor was the son of 'Ghost Rider the Bounty Hunter' and 'Pinky: The Alien Queen'

Hellfrog was the daughter of 'Red Hood: the UA Knight' and 'The Rainy Season Hero: Froppy'.

She looked in their minds and found another Hero. The Daughter of 'Raven the Rogue' and 'Charge bolt: the Stun Gun Hero' 'Power Drain: The Electric Parasite'

She was pulled from her musings by the sound of an engine revving. She looked over to see a massive... tank looking thing. The canopy slid open and a tall imposing figure wearing black combat boots, olive drab green pants, body armor, gauntlets, a utility belt, gun belt, a rust red hoodie with the UA symbol in the center of the chest and a red bat symbol in the center of his chest, and a red helmet jumped out.

"Good job kids." The figure praised as he walked towards them. "Now get back to the dorms. I'm sure that Kathryn has learned her lesson and will be out for the next training."

The group walked away leaving Jean and the Red Hood.

"Hello Miss Black." The Red Hood said taking his helmet off to show angry red skin. It was still Jason, just his skin was red now.

"Jason? What happened?"

"War." Jason said. "The Great Hero War happened."

"What started it?"

"All Might's death. That was the thing that started the war. Then the 'League of Villains', they preferred to be called the 'Meta Liberation Army' or Paranormal Liberation Front, or whatever the hell they called themselves, but we always called them the 'League of Villains'. They attacked the school. Took All Might and Midnight before killing them on National television. Then they slowly killed the rest of the teachers until it was just the students."

"All the teachers?"

"Yes. Even you and Dabi. They killed them all on national television. Different spots every time, but they killed them. We were only third years at this time, but we went to fight them anyways."

"You never needed a reason to fight."

"No. I didn't. We took down the Hero Commission because they were hindering our ability to fight and then we took the fight to the League. You need to tell Nedzu that he needs to keep 'All for One' from transferring his Quirk to Shigaraki. That can't happen. Also, can you tell my younger self to give into the enhancement that the bastard gave us. Also, when Aizawa arrests the bastard make sure that he takes out his bodyguards. If his bodyguards are left alive then that will start a whole shit storm they don't need."

"Okay. I'm sorry, but what does all of this have to do with us?"

Jason held out his hand and Jean took it before he grappled them up to the roof of a building and she looked out to see complete and utter destruction in every direction.

"Because of the new defenses Jason Blood put on UA it was the only thing left untouched in the war. Those of us who didn't die moved in here. We try and let our kids lead normal lives, but the truth of the matter is..."

"You're like rats in a cage."

"Pretty much. Now. Go back to your time and fix the future."

With that Jean zoned out and woke up in her office. "I have to call Nedzu!" She said reaching for her phone.

Inside Natsuo's pocket

Fuyumi almost gagged as she held up a moldy pizza box. "Natsuo." She whined. "Why!"

"I was just trying to be an ass to Endeavor. I never thought that we would be living here in the future."

There was a red blur and Barbara dropped two bags on the floor gagging. "Natsuo! You're such a pig!"

"Yeah kid." Hawks said. "I know that guys have to spank the monkey from time to time, but at least keep your porn stash a secret."

Fuyumi blushed at that.

"At least get a phone." Miruko said. "It takes up less physical space, and whenever you need to relieve some stress, you just pull it out and go at it, then put it up. Unless you like making a mess on the pictures." She said with a raised eyebrow.

Fuyumi went an even brighter shade of red, and Rei wasn't far behind.

"What are you guys talking about?" Shoto asked.

"Wait." Hawks said. "You mean to say that you've never spanked the monkey?"

"That's enough!" Touya yelled.

"Okay, okay. Fine."

"No." Shoto said. "I don't even know what that means."

"You never got... the talk?" Hawks asked.

"What talk?"

"The birds and the bees?" Barbara asked.

"No."

"When a mommy cat and a daddy cat love each other very much?" Miruko asked.

"No."

"Holy shit!" Hawks yelled. "Touya! As the oldest male in your family, it is your job to tell Shoto about the birds and the bees."

"No." Rei said. "That responsibility would have fallen to Enji, and I if things hadn't gone horribly wrong. It's my responsibility to tell him when he's ready."

"But..." Hawks gasped falling and grabbing Touya. "... that means that he'll never be ready. He'll be a forty-year-old virgin living in someone's basement until someone finally takes pity on him and punches his V card."

"Shut up!" Touya yelled dropping Hawks.

"Is this something that I need to know?" Shoto asked.

"Well." Rei said. "Your body has gone through changes. Changes that make you think boys or girls aren't as disgusting as you may have thought when you were a child."

"I have literally never had any contact with anyone my own age until I went to UA." Shoto said.

Rei went quiet as tears went down her face. "I'm sorry Shoto. I'm really sorry."

"For what?"

Rei hugged Shoto. "For everything." She cried.

Nedzu and Jean were sitting in his office waiting. They waited in silence for two minutes before Nedzu looked at his computer before getting up and opened the door for Jason. "Ah. Young Haywood. Thank you for coming."

"You called me to your office sensei." Jason replied. "Why wouldn't I come?"

"A good mindset. Please. Sit, sit."

Jason sat down and looked from Jean to Nedzu. "What's this about?"

"I had a vision." Jean said.

Jason felt a weight drop in his stomach. "What happened?"

"I went to a possible future."

"What did you see?"

"We won the upcoming war, but the cost was so very high."

"How many died?"

"All of the old Heroes."

"What!?" Jason asked in alarm.

"Yes. The Heroes I ran into... well. I don't want to influence the timeline one way or the other, but I did run into your older self."

"Really?"

Jean nodded in the affirmative. "He gave us several warnings and a message for you."

"For me? Why for me?"

"He told you to embrace your enhancement. He didn't say why, just that you should."

Jason looked at Nedzu and Jean.

"Young Haywood, if I may." Nedzu said. "When we are given words of wisdom, we are usually urged to follow them."

"But sensei..." Jason said in a hurt tone.

"I understand your reluctance." Nedzu held up a hand. "And I will not urge you one way or another. That is your decision."

Jason looked at Jean.

"I can show you what the future looks like, but that might influence your decision, and I don't want to take away your free will."

Jason looked at Nedzu and Jean for a while before he asked his question. "Can you show me that future?"

Jean nodded before her eyes went opaque.

Jason looked around to see that UA was the only building standing for miles in each direction. Everything else was rubble and on fire.

He jumped in his seat and looked at Jean. "That's what we're facing?"

"Yes." Jean said.

"What warnings did the older me give you?"

Jean looked at Nedzu who nodded in approval.

"He told us that we can't let 'All for One' transfer his Quirk. We can't let Willis Todd's bodyguard's escape. You need to accept the enhancement. I caught glimpses of regret when he said that."

Jason looked at her before looking at his hands. "I suppose that I'll meet you in Recovery Girls office then." Jason said with a bow. "May I leave sensei?"

Nedzu nodded.

Jason left Nedzu's office and headed for Recovery Girls office. He began typing away on his wrist computer and sent a text to his friends. Jason: meet me in Recovery Girls office. When he'd sent it, he continued walking.

Natsuo's Pocket

The group had finally gathered up all of the trash from the house and had thrown it outside.

"That was a good day's work." Natsuo said.

"Yeah." Miruko said. "And tomorrow the actual work begins."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the cleaning the rooms, cleaning the bathrooms, cleaning the carpets, mopping the hardwood floors, dusting, wiping down the walls and the ceilings, you know. All of that stuff."

"That sounds like a nightmare."

"Yeah?" Touya asked. "Well, it wouldn't be if you'd taken ten minutes and cleaned up after yourself."

"Amongst other things." Barbara said.

"Let's go get dinner." Miruko said. "I'm buying."

With that the group left Natsuo's pocket and walked down the street.

Jason was sitting in Recovery Girls office with Jean, Nedzu, and Recovery Girl. She had kicked his friends out when they realized there wasn't going to be enough room. Nedzu had also called Aizawa in case things got out of control.

"Are you sure you want to do this dearie?" Recovery Girl asked.

Jason took a deep breath. "No." He replied. "But I am willing to."

"Here." She said handing him some gummies. "Eat these before you go through with this."

Jason took the offered gummies and began eating them one at a time. When he was finished, he began meditating. He went down to where he could feel the heat of his Quirk. He began sweating as his body temperature increased, and he began trembling with the anxiety of what he was about to do, and what effect this enhancement was going to have on his body. There was something else, something... powerful. He grabbed it and blacked out.

Anna, Elsa, Eri, Himiko, Izuku, Johnny, Rogue, and Tsuyu were standing outside the infirmary waiting for Jason.

"Do you thi..." Rogue began until she heard Jason cry out in agony. She ran to the door and threw it open to see Jason on the floor writhing in agony and his flesh began ripping away as large bulging muscle took shape. She flew in and picked up the four beds and hefted them in the air as Jason's bulk grew larger and larger until it finally stopped growing.

The others peaked their heads in and saw Jason... or what used to be Jason lying limp on the floor. The floor began steaming and they could see the floor begin to melt. Johnny ran in and picked Jason up before holding him over his head, and they could see an outline of how Jason was lying on the floor melted into the wax and tile. Anna sent water onto Jason's body and sent steam into the air while Elsa sent ice into the air to cool the room down. Izuku and Himiko were keeping Eri hidden from the sight.

Eventually the temperature in the room went down and became colder, cold enough to make everyone's breath show in the frigid air.

Rogue set the beds back down, and Johnny laid Jason down on one of the beds and shook his hands before looking at them to see his flesh begin to regrow.

"Out!" Recovery Girl snapped. "Get out so I can give him the care he needs!"

Everyone but Aizawa, Jean, and Nedzu left the room.

"What can you tell us?" Nedzu asked.

"Nothing yet. I have several tests that I need to do."

The teachers sat in silence as Recovery Girl ran the tests. When she was done with the first set of tests, she looked at them.

"His new core temperature is 93.3 degrees Celsius. He is 12 feet tall, his shoulders are four feet long, he is covered in muscle, and..." She was interrupted by Jason speaking.

"Efreeti. Hear my plea, chain yourself, and set me free." Jason whispered shrinking down to his normal size before he said. "Efreeti. Hear my plea. I unbind your chains and set you free." With that he grew back to being 12 feet tall, and he blinked awake. "What happened?" He asked. "Wait. Is that my voice? Why do I sound so-so..."

"Young Haywood." Nedzu said. "What is the last thing you remember?"

"Accessing the Bastards enhancement, I felt pain, and I blacked out."

"I see. Would you mind repeating this phrase. "Efreeti. Hear my plea, chain yourself, and set me free." ?"

"Efreeti. Hear my plea, chain yourself and set me free." Jason said before he glowed and went back to his human form.

"How do you feel Young Haywood?" Recovery Girl asked.

"Like shit." He wheezed. "Could I get some water?"

Jean went to the sink and turned on the cold water before grabbing a cup and filled it. She walked over to Jason and handed him the cup.

He took it and downed it in one swig before handing it back.

Aizawa went to the door and looked outside. "Martin. Both of you, get in here."

The sisters walked in and looked at Jason who was back to normal.

"Anna." Jean said. "Can you produce a stream of water for Jason to drink from?"

"Yes." Anna said creating a stream of water from the particles in the air.

Jason put his face in the water and drank greedily.

"Elsa. Can you create a wall of ice around Jason to try and cool his body temperature?"

"Yes." Elsa said creating a wall of ice around Jason, covering from shoulder to shoulder.

The group stood and watched as Jason continued to drink the water provided by Anna, and his skin steamed from contact with Elsa's ice. When his thirst was quenched, he stood up.

"Whoa." Anna said. "You got taller."

He looked down to see that he had indeed gotten taller. He looked at Recovery Girl. "How tall am I?" He asked.

"In your new form you are 12 feet tall. As you are now... walk over to the wall."

Jason did and stood under the Stadiometer. Recovery Girl hit the button on the wall at hand level and the stadiometer whirred as it climbed up to Jason's height. When it was over his head the arm flicked out, and Recovery Girl pressed the down button, and stopped when she felt resistance from Jason's head. She grabbed the step stool from her closet and climbed up to Jason's head. "8 feet tall." She said down to the group.

"Whoa." Elsa said. "That's tall."

"Not as tall as the 12 feet he stands when he's actively using his Quirk." Recovery Girl said.

"12 feet?" Anna and Elsa asked in unison.

"Yes. 12 feet."

"Haywood." Aizawa said. "Go change into your gym uniform and meet me on the field. You're going to be taking the Quirk assessment test again. I'll get Nemuri to cover my afternoon classes." He walked to the door. "Midoriya. Go get dressed in your gym uniform. I'll be testing you again with your new mutations."

"Yes Sensei."

"As for the rest of you." Aizawa said. "Get back to your classes."

Everyone but Eri and Himiko left.

"You too." Aizawa said. "Go with Nedzu."

"Do we have to?" She asked.

"Yes."

"Fine!" She stomped away with Eri in her arms.

"Let's go." Aizawa said to Jason.

"I want you to come back after this!" Recovery Girl called after them.

"Yes ma'am." Jason called back.

Recovery Girl and Jean looked at each other hoping that Jason would be all right.

Shoto was eating Soba at a Raman house close to an empty lot for sale when he heard someone talking to him. "Hmm?" He asked.

"I asked you if you wanted to look at another lot?" Touya asked.

"Well. It's close to a Raman house. So, they have Soba."

"Done." Touya said. "Is everyone okay with this place?"

"If you guys are happy." Rei said. "I'm happy."

"I'm okay with this place." Natsuo said.

"Same here." Fuyumi said.

"Then this is where we are staying." Touya said. "I'll call the guy and buy the lot."

They finished lunch and Touya called the realtor.

"Okay." Aizawa said. "This will be the same Quirk Assessment Test from the beginning of the school year. I want you to use your Quirks to the best of your abilities. Go beyond, Plus Ultra, and all that."

Jason looked at Izuku and smiled. Izuku smiled back.

"Let's begin." Aizawa said. "First is the 50-meter dash."

Jason and Izuku stepped onto the track.

"Efreeti. Hear my plea. I unlock your chains and set you free." Jason said as he was surrounded by fire before he appeared as a 12-foot demon with red skin, lean muscle that made Jason built, but kept him slim. He had two sets of horns, one in the side of his head, and one on the edge of his forehead.

"Whoa." Izuku said in awe.

"I know right!"

"Go." The robotic tracker said.

Jason and Izuku pushed off the ground. Izuku pushing 20 percent of 'One for All' into his legs, and Jason creating twin rocket boosters in his feet propelling him forward.

"2.50 seconds." The robotic tracker said.

Aizawa was impressed, but he wouldn't show that. "Next is the Grip Strength test." He led them to the gym where he handed them both a Handgrip strength test.

Jason pulled the trigger and heard a beep before he looked at the screen 500 Kilograms. "Not bad. Hey Izuku, what did you get?"

Izuku activated 20 percent of 'One for All' before he pulled the trigger and heard a beep. "200!" he said excitedly.

"Nice." Jason said. "That's better than 77, right?"

"I KNOW! This is awesome!"

"Next test." Aizawa said. "Go to the Standing Long Jump."

They went to the Standing Long Jump and looked at the other side.

"Let's go." Izuku said.

"Right." Jason replied.

Izuku stood at the line and activated 20 percent of 'One for All' and pushed it into his legs before he jumped. He activated 'Black Whip' and caught a tree before swinging himself onto the other side of the field.

Aizawa was impressed but wouldn't show it.

Jason prepared himself. He lowered himself to the floor and jumped as far as he could before he created a thruster on his back and launched himself towards Izuku. When he landed, he held his fist down. "Good job." He spoke.

"Thanks." Izuku smiled fist bumping Jason. "You did better too."

"Next is the Repeated Side Steps."

Jason stood in between the two robots that were counting his Repeated Side Steps and waited for his cue.

"Begin." One of the robots said.

Jason moved quickly until he heard...

"Time. 200"

Izuku took Jason's place and waited to start.

"Begin." The robot said.

Midoriya activated 'One for All' and began side stepping until he heard...

"Time. 399."

"Dude!" Jason yelled. "That's some crazy improvement!"

"Thanks. You too."

"Not as much as you. You're going to be an amazing Hero with this level of improvement."

"You're going to make a great Hero too."

"Next is the Ball Throw." Aizawa said.

The trio moved onto the softball field and Aizawa tossed Izuku the ball. "You know the drill. Don't hurt yourself or I'll expel you on the spot."

"Are you sure this isn't another logical ruse Sensei?" Jason asked.

"No Haywood. This time I mean it. If Midoriya can't control this now he doesn't deserve to be a Hero. Do you understand Midoriya?"

"Yes sensei." Izuku said wrapping his arm in 30 percent of 'One for All' and hoped his arm didn't break."

"Beat Bakugo's score." Jason said.

Izuku smiled as he threw the softball with a crack of Thunder as the sound barrier broke and a circular cloud appeared in the air.

"Holy shit!" Jason yelled. "What the hell was that?"

"30 percent." Izuku said rolling his shoulder.

The scanner beeped and Aizawa held up the device. 800 Meters

"You have improved." Aizawa said. "I won't be expelling you today. Haywood. Get up here."

Jason walked up and took the soft ball that Aizawa held out to him. He rolled his shoulder and thought about what to do. A wicked smile appeared along his face, and he pulled back and threw the softball as far as he could.

Aizawa and Izuku didn't see the thruster Jason had put on the softball, but as the timer on the thruster softball reached 0 the thruster activated and sent the softball flying faster and farther. The thruster on the ball burnt for ten seconds before fizzling out and the softball kept flying until it fell to the floor.

Aizawa looked at the scanner and showed Jason as it beeped. 1609 Meters.

"Whoa." Izuku said. "That was amazing."

"Right? Could I throw another one?" Jason asked. "I want to see what my base strength without my Quirks help is."

"Very well." Aizawa said.

Jason pulled his arm back and threw the softball as hard as he could. A few seconds later there was a beep and Aizawa showed him his score. 756 Meters.

"Okay." Jason said pleased with that development.

"Next is the Sit-Ups." Aizawa said leading them to the gym.

Izuku had to use 'One for All' to keep Jason's feet pinned while he did his set.

Jason was able to pull 300 Sit-Ups out of this because not much had changed other than he gained more muscle mass.

Jason held one foot on Izuku's feet and Izuku was able to pull out 301 Sit-Ups because he had improved since the last time, and he wasn't distracted by a broken finger.

"Next is the Seated Toe Touch." Aizawa said.

Jason and Izuku both touched their toes and waited for Aizawa to let them up.

Aizawa waited for a minute before he decided to let them up. "Next is the Long-Distance Run." He spoke.

Izuku and Jason went out to the track and stood on their marks.

"Three..." Izuku said.

"Two..." Jason said

"One!" The two shouted in unison as they took off running.

Izuku let 20 percent of 'One for All' into his legs and took off running. Jason let his long strides carry him and both students kept an even pace with each other for the most part.

Aizawa watched as his students ran and decided to catch up on his sleep. He set a time for one hour and drifted off to sleep.

After an hour his alarm went off and he looked up to see Haywood and Midoriya still running as if they could run all day.

"Time!" He called out.

The two students came running up to them, and they were barely even sweating.

"Haywood. Go talk to Recovery girl. Midoriya. Go back to homeroom."

"Yes Sensei." The duo said in unison before running towards the school.

Aizawa updated his students' scores in his phone and checked the results.

Shota knew that he was going to have to reevaluate their abilities. Maybe at the summer training camp, but that was a problem for another day. For now, he was just trying to see if his students had improved since their Quirks had mutated. He wasn't disappointed in the results.

He grabbed his sleeping bag and left the field.

Shoto was walking through the cleaning supplies store with Natsuo and Barbara while they gathered the items, they would need to clean the house the following day. His mom, Fuyumi, Touya, Hawks, and Miruko had gone to talk to the realtor about getting the land for their home.

"Okay." Barbara said looking up at the carpet extractors. "It says that this one is a vacuum and Carpet extractor, but this one says that it produces a fruity smell to eliminate odors."

"Just get both of them." Natsuo grumbled, putting his hands in his pockets.

"What?"

"Just get both of them." He said pointing at them. "Have you seen the floor in that house?" He pointed over his shoulder. "It needs all the help it can get."

"And whose fault is that!" Barbara yelled.

"I don't deny that it's my fault!" Natsuo yelled back.

"What about this one?" Shoto asked pointing at another carpet extractor, this one had a vacuum, carpet extractor, upholstery extractor, and floor scrubber.

"Who designed that?" Natsuo asked wide eyed looking at the monstrosity.

"It says that it was designed by the Mode corporation. I wonder if they are related to that costume designer in America?"

"It costs 328,299.00 Yen." Barbara gasped, shocked.

"It's Endeavor's money, so who cares?" Natsuo said casually dropping it into his pocket. "Now. Let's go grab the carpet cleaning chemicals."

They walked to the end of the aisle to look at the chemicals.

"Let's get summer nights." Barbara suggested grabbing a bottle of the chemical.

"How about Ocean breeze?" Natsuo said pointing as his preferred choice.

"Summer Nights!" Barbara yelled.

"Ocean Breeze!"

"Summer Nights!"

"Ocean..."

"What about Snow Lilies?" Shoto asked holding up the bottle. "I saw mom smelling some at a flower shop earlier. I think she really likes them."

"We're getting Snow Lilies then." Natsuo said sliding the entire stock into his pocket.

"What are you doing?!" Barbara asked with clenched fists and a scowl.

"I'm getting the chemical to clean the carpets." Natsuo snarked.

"12 bottles?!"

"It's a big house."

"UGH! Men!"

Shoto looked at Natsuo before looking at Barbara in confusion. "We are." He spoke.

Natsuo couldn't help it and laughed.

Barbara's cheeks went red in embarrassment and anger. "That's not what I meant." Barbara said, crossing her arms.

"Are you two going to have sex?" Shoto asked.

Both Barbara and Natsuo went red.

"NO!" Natsuo finally yelled.

"Oh. Because Touya said you guys were. Him, Hawks, and Miruko have a bet to see when, where, what time, and how long before you guys make it official."

"WHAT!" They yelled in unison.

"I don't think I was supposed to tell you that."

"No, you weren't." Barbara said. "But I'm glad you did."

"Why?"

"Because now we can stop them. Shoto. Do you think you could help me with something?"

"I guess."

"What do you have in mind?" Natsuo asked.

"We are going to get them to bet against each other."

"How?" Shoto asked.

Jason walked into Recovery Girl's office.

"Good. Now sit down so I can fill out your medical profile."

Jason sat on one of the beds, and Recovery Girl came over with what she needed. "Did anything unusual happen during the Quirk Assessment?"

"No. Not really."

"Okay. How well did you perform with your enhanced Quirk?"

"I did better than the first time, so I guess it helped out. I did better in every test, so that's improvement."

"Yes, it is. Did you go over your limit?"

"No."

"Did Midoriya?"

"No, and we were able to run for an hour."

"You were running for an hour?"

"Yeah. Is that weird?"

"Your endurance is amazing if you were able to run for an hour."

"Not if you've exercised as long as Izuku and I have. We've exercised every day since we were five."

"That's incredible willpower."

"I guess so."

"Did your body overheat?"

"No. As a matter of fact, I was able to fist bump Izuku and he wasn't burned."

"Hmm. I wonder why that is?"

"Izuku might know."

"He might. Now what about your emotions? Did your emotions get out of hand?"

"No. I felt in control the entire time."

"Good, good. Do I need to know anything else?"

"My speed, strength, reflexes, and durability has increased."

"Not surprising since your Quirk has been enhanced."

"That's it."

"Very well. You may leave."

Jason left the room and went back to homeroom for the final few minutes of the day.

Touya, Hawks, Fuyumi, Miruko, and Rei were at the real estate office buying the plot of land to put their new house when it was finished.

"So." The real estate agent said. "When are you going to start construction?"

"The house is already built." Touya said. "We just need to move it from its current location to the land."

"Excellent. So, when do you expect to be setting the house down?"

"By the end of the week."

"Excellent, excellent. It's been pleasure doing business with you."

Touya nodded and left. Fuyumi and Rei bowed to the man, and Hawks and Miruko nodded before leaving.

"Well, now what?" Hawks asked.

"We need to get back to Natsuo and go shopping for bedrooms." Fuyumi said. "We should also clean the bedrooms we'll be using."

"Then let's get back there." Miruko said.

The group made their way to train and to the Raman House where they met Shoto, Natsuo, and Barbara.

"Hey guys." Touya said. "How did you guys do?"

"Natsuo almost stole the cleaning supplies!" Barbara huffed. "If I hadn't reminded him to pay for them, he would have."

"Eh, what can I say?" Natsuo said. "I'm a Klepto."

"That's not a good thing!"

"Admit it, you find me attractive."

"No, I don't!" Barbara said flustered by his actions.

"But you guys got the stuff, right?" Touya asked.

"Yeah. We got the stuff. It's sitting in the front room."

"Great. Now we need to get bedrooms for everyone."

"Let's go."

They walked to the furniture store around the corner. When they entered the store, they stayed as a group and walked to the bedroom sets. They were walking around when they heard...

"HI SHOTO!" A loud female voice called out.

Everyone looked around and saw Aizawa, Emi, Hizashi, Nemuri, Shinso, and two other kids walking towards them.

"What are you guy's doing here?" Miruko asked.

"We are getting bedroom sets for Ichiro, Honoka, and Shinso here." Mic said. "What are you guy's doing here?"

"Same thing." Natsuo said.

"Do you want to meet up afterwards for dinner?" Nemuri asked.

"Sure." Rei said. "We'd love to."

They walked through the store looking at each of the beds and the bedrooms sets.

"Hey Shinso!" Emi asked. "Do you want this bed?" she asked, pushing on the bed and falling in up to her elbows.

"No." Shinso said.

"What about this one?" she asked, pushing on another one that didn't budge.

"No."

"Well, I'm not going to give up." Emi said undeterred. "I'll find you the best bed ever." She turned around when Shinso didn't respond and saw him laying on a bed contentedly. She pushed on the bed and felt that it was soft but didn't give too easily. "Do you want this one?" She asked.

"Yeah." He spoke.

"Okay. Let's buy it."

Shinso, the bed, and matching bedroom set disappeared into Natsuo's Pocket.

"Don't worry." Natsuo said. "I'll let him out when we get back to your house."

"You might want to tell him that." Emi said.

"Oh shit." Natsuo said disappearing into his pocket.

Emi tried not to laugh.

When Natsuo appeared in his pocket Shinso was standing ready to fight. "Don't worry kid. I just dropped you into my pocket."

"Your what?"

"My pocket. It's my Quirk. I put you in here so you can sleep."

"Oh. Really?"

"Yeah. You looked tired."

"Thanks. I'm going to bed then."

"Cool. See you later." Natsuo said jumping out of his pocket.

"Is he okay?" Emi asked.

"Yeah. He's fine."

"Oh good."

"Yeah. Don't worry, I'm not going to steal your son."

Emi's eyes glistened with tears.

"Is everything all right? I didn't mean to make you cry."

"You just have no idea how much it means to me that you called him my son."

"Well, isn't he? He looks like Aizawa."

Emi burst into laughter. "Oh god!!" She yelled. "Oh god! Shota! You won't believe this!" She yelled as she laughed so hard, she started crying.

"Um. Are you okay?" Natsuo asked.

"What did you tell her?" Aizawa said from behind him.

"I just called Shinso your son and she started crying then I said that he looked like you and she started laughing."

"Ugh." Aizawa groaned. "She's not going to let me hear the end of this for at least a week."

"Sorry. I didn't mean to make your life harder."

"No. Don't worry about it. Emi has wanted kids for a while, but we both love being Heroes too much to stop to have kids. This is a way that we can do both."

"Okay. Cool. I'm going to go check on the others to see if I can help."

Aizawa nodded as Natsuo left.

Natsuo was looking through the store until he found Present Mic and the kid who he was looking after looking at a bed whose frame looked like a race car.

"Are you sure that you want this one little listener?" Hizashi asked.

"Yes. I want this one."

"Okay!" Hizashi said giving Ichirō a thumbs up.

"This the one you guys want?" Natsuo asked.

"Yup!" Mic yelled.

Natsuo dropped the bedroom set into his pocket.

"Cool!" Ichirō said. "Is that your Quirk?"

"Yeah. It's called 'Pocket'. I'll drop it off at your house."

"Did Shinso get a bed?"

"Yeah. Want to see?"

"Yeah!"

Natsuo dropped Ichirō into his Pocket before looking at Mic. "Do you want to go with him?"

"Nah Dude. If he's with Shinso I'm sure that he'll stay out of trouble."

"Cool. I'm going to find Nemuri."

"Cool. I think I'll go with you if that's all right."

"Sure. Come on."

They walked through the store until they found Nemuri and Honoka looking at a Canopy bed with midnight blue curtains and light spots in the fabric that represented stars or fireflies, and on the inside of the canopy was pale lights that acted like a nightlight.

"So, is this the one you want?" Nemuri asked.

"Does it have a matching bedroom set?" Natsuo asked.

"It comes with a privacy screen." Nemuri said. "But no. It doesn't have a matching bedroom set. Did Shinso's and Ichirō's?"

"Yeah." Natsuo said. "Theirs came with a dresser and nightstand. Shinso's came with a chest and a bookshelf and Ichirō's came with built in shelves."

"Honoka. What else do you want for your room?"

"Like Shinso's!" Honoka yelled.

"Then go pick it out." Natsuo said dropping her bed into his pocket.

"Whoa." Honoka said in amazement.

"Go pick out your bedroom set, and I'll let you go hang with Shinso and Ichirō."

"Really!?"

"Yeah, but you have to finish shopping first."

"All right!" She yelled running to look at dressers.

"That was really sweet." Nemuri said.

"Eh. I can relate to her on some level. It sucks when the people you're supposed to trust turn out to be bastards."

"Yeah." Hizashi said. "It's why I agreed to take Ichirō when Nedzu asked."

"You had a bad childhood too?"

"I don't like talking about it too much, but I was in the foster system when I was younger. My Foster Parents didn't like that I was so loud, and they made sure that I knew it."

"What happened?"

"When I got too loud, they would put a muzzle on me to shut me up. They could have used the wife's Silencing Quirk, but the husband was a sadist."

"Holy fuck. What happened?"

"After I got my Hero License, I grabbed Shota and Nemuri and we took down our abusive families..."

"Wait." Natsuo said. "You were in an abusive household too?"

"Yeah." Nemuri said quietly. "My father was physically abusive towards my mother, and Sexually abusive towards me."

"What the fuck!"

"I couldn't use my Quirk to help me because his Quirk allowed him to nullify Quirks used on him, and when I tried it only made him more desperate."

"Please tell me that bastard is dead."

"Yes. It was bad. Shota erased his Quirk, and I shoved as much of my Quirk into his body as I could, and he never woke up. Since then, I've realized three things."

"And those are?"

"1) I learned that my Quirk is very dangerous.

2) I learned that I could use my body to my advantage which is why I wear the skintight body suit and the alluring gear.

3) I'm not attracted to men."

"Really? You learned that when you killed your dad?"

"Well, it sounds weird when you say it like that, but yeah. I had two dapper and dashing young men standing beside me, and we've stayed friends with no attraction to each other. Though I have tried the dating thing and I'm not attracted to guys. Ladies on the other hand, yes. I am attracted to ladies. Unfortunately, Shota took the best one for himself."

"You want her?" Shota asked from behind them, causing them all to jump. "You can have her."

"Holy shit!" Natsuo shouted. "Don't do that!"

"Why? It's fun." Aizawa said with his signature grin that could bring villains to their knees.

"Who do you think you are, Batman?"

"No. He lives in Gotham in America. He retired a few years ago after his second son was killed. Last we checked he's catching up with drinking, dancing, and Women."

Back at U.A.

Jason shuddered as a shiver went up his spine.

"What's wrong Jason?" Himiko asked.

"I don't know."

"Okay. If you figure it out let me know."

"I will." Jason said as he thought about what could have happened to make him feel that sense of... Doom? Nostalgia? Whatever the hell that was. After a few minutes he went back to doing his English homework and acing it.

Natsuo looked at Shota. "Was... was that a joke?"

"No. I do not make jokes."

"I picked it out." Honoka said coming up to them.

"Show me." Natsuo said.

The two ran through the store until Honoka pointed at a Midnight blue dresser and nightstand with a purple chest and bookshelf.

"This is what you want?" He asked.

"Yeah!" She yelled.

"Okay." He said making each one disappear into his pocket before he tapped Honoka, and she disappeared into his pocket too.

When she appeared in the pocket dimension, she saw Shinso sleeping on his bed while Ichirō was laying on his bed while playing a game on his phone.

"Hey guys!" She yelled. Her voice echoed through the void that was Natsuo's pocket. "Whoa. This is so cool."

"Yeah." Ichirō said. "Natsuo has a cool Quirk."

Honoka sat on her bed and squealed in excitement. "I can't believe that this is my bed... MY bed."

"Yeah. I know what you mean. Shinso is probably going to sleep through the weekend."

"Probably."

The air distorted and Touya and Natsuo walked in carrying a box spring followed by Miruko and Hawks with a mattress. They set it by the house in the background and winked out of existence before coming back with a dresser, nightstand, bookshelf, chest, desk, and Armoire.

"Wow." Ichirō said. "Who's is that?"

"Shoto's." Touya said.

"Yeah. Endeavor never let him have any of this, so he gets it now. Not that Endeavor will need the money we're spending in prison."

"Okay."

They came back four more times with four more bedroom sets, three queen sized beds, and a king-sized bed.

"So, who's bed is that?" Honoka asked.

"Our moms." Natsuo said. "She didn't want a kind sized bed, but she deserves something nice after what that bastard put her through."

"Oh. Okay."

When they finished, they walked out of Natsuo's pocket?

"So?" Nemuri asked. "How are they enjoying your Quirk?"

"They are laying on their beds and seem to be happy with it."

"That's good. Well. Let's go check out."

They gathered and walked to the front. They showed the cashier the bedroom sets they chose, and the cashier added up the total.

"661,950.00 Yen." The cashier said.

Natsuo took out Endeavors credit card that he'd taken from Endeavors wallet and gave it to the cashier.

The cashier swiped it and gave him the receipt before they left the store.

"So. Where do you want to go?"

"I want Soba." Shoto said.

"There is the Raman shop." Fuyumi pointed out.

"Why not ask the kids what they want?" Nemuri suggested.

"I'll be back." Natsuo said dropping into his pocket.

"So, when do you think we'll get dinner?" Honoka asked.

"Don't know." Ichirō said as he was scrolling through social media.

"I hope we get dinner soon. I'm Starting to get hungry."

"Hey guys." Natsuo said, appearing in his pocket. "We're trying to decide on dinner. What do you guys want?"

"Hey Shinso!" Ichirō yelled. "What do you want for dinner?"

"Katsudon sounds good." Shinso mumbled.

"Katsudon." Ichirō and Honoka said in unison.

"I'll tell them." Natsuo said disappearing.

"Yeah! Katsudon for dinner!" Honoka said. "Aren't you excited Shinso?"

"Yeah." Shinso said. "Actual food and not scraps."

Honoka and Ichirō looked at each other before they ran over to Shinso and jumped on him knocking the air out of him.

"The kids say they want Katsudon." Natsuo said jumping out of his pocket.

"Then is everyone okay with going to a place that serves Soba and Katsudon?" Miruko asked.

"I'm okay with it." Fuyumi said.

"Same." Hawks said.

"Let's go." Touya said.

The group walked to a restaurant and had a nice meal with good company.

"So do you guys have a favorite Hero?" Hawks asked.

"Yeah." Honoka said. "It's Haywood."

"Haywood? Nemuri and Hizashi said. "As in Jason Haywood?"

"I don't know." Ichirō said. "Eraser Head called him Haywood. Lousy Hero name, but he's a good Hero."

"He's not a Hero." Nemuri said confused. "He's a Hero in training."

"Then he's going to be a good Hero."

"We're hopeful." Shota said.

"I'm going to be just like him someday." Ichirō said.

"Me too! Me too!" Honoka yelled.

Shota hit the table with his head. "Damn it, Haywood." He spoke.

They finished dinner and went to Nemuri's apartment. When they got there, they put Honoka's bedroom together, and wished them a good night before leaving.

Honoka looked around her room and smiled.

"Here are your sheets." Nemuri said. "Tomorrow, we will take you shopping for clothes and anything else you might need.

"Okay." Honoka said before she hugged Nemuri. "Thank you."

Nemuri hugged Honoka back and cried tears of joy.

The group headed towards Hisashi's apartment and set up Ichirō's room together before they said good night and left.

"Thanks." Ichirō said to Hizashi.

"No problem little dude. Now, get to sleep so we can go shopping for clothes tomorrow. Ya dig."

"I dig dude."

Hizashi couldn't be happier than right now, and he held his fist out for a fist bump.

Ichirō fist bumped Hizashi, and Hizashi went to his room doing a silent happy dance down the hall.

The group made their way to Aizawa's and Emi's apartment and set up Shinso's room before he face planted into his unmade bed.

"Thank you." Emi said hugging everyone.

"No worries." Natsuo said. "We abused kids have to stick together and help other abused kids."

"We'll let you guys get to bed." Fuyumi said. "You look tired."

"Shota is always tired." Emi said. "He'll be going on patrol in a few hours anyway."

"Okay. Well, we'll still let you go."

"I'll see you in class on Monday Todoroki." Aizawa said.

"Himura." Shoto said.

"What?"

"I'm changing my last name to Himura. I'm cutting all ties to the bastard."

"Hell yeah!" Natsuo said. "We are the Himura's. Touya Himura, Fuyumi Himura, Natsuo Himura, and Shoto Himura."

"Don't forget mom." Fuyumi said.

"Oh yeah." Natsuo said. "Rei Himura."

Rei felt a warm sensation rise in her chest and tears began rolling down her cheeks. "Thank you." She said as she started crying.

"Don't cry mom." Fuyumi said hugging her before grabbing her brothers and pulling them into a hug.

Emi took her phone out and took pictures until Aizawa took her phone.

After the Himura's came down from their emotional high, they left and went back to Miruko's agency and dropped into Natsuo's pocket. They laid out their mattresses and laid down before falling asleep.

U.A.

Jason was looking at the Bat Computer program. He was looking at the hacked police footage. He checked all of the "villains" that had been booked after the USJ. He needed to talk of them.

He opened a new tab and began running a search program for the worst of the worst of the villains. He was looking for the murderers, rapists, serial killers, anyone who got off on hurting people. They were going to pay for what they had done.

He opened a third tab and hacked the camera next to the Hero Commission. He was going to get facial recognition on everyone who came in and out of the Hero Commission and find the board of Commissioners before he would put fear into each of them until they changed their policies about Heroes and Hero Society. Seriously, they said who could and couldn't be a Hero, praised the stronger destructive Quirks while belittling the weaker and Villainous Quirks, and they made villains. They were the reason for so many Villains. He was going to take them down.

He opened a fourth tab to a prison that was holding a familiar face. The green sludge moved through his specialized cell, a long tube that moved through the cell and could be closed on two sides to put food and water in the tube. Jason wanted a bit of revenge, so he would plan a prison break. By this time next year, the sludge villain was going to escape and die.

The Himura's woke up the next morning and went to work cleaning the carpets while Hawks, Miruko, Barbara, and Natsuo left to get breakfast.

Touya and Rei were mixing the Snow Lilies carpet cleaning chemicals while Shoto and Fuyumi vacuumed the carpets, wiped down walls, and dusted for cobwebs. When they finished a room Touya and Rei went in and cleaned the carpet. They had to go through each carpet three times before the water came out mostly clear.

"Damn it Natsu!" Touya growled. "What the hell did you do to these carpets?"

"Hey guys." Natsuo said. "Breakfast is ready."

"You!" Touya said rounding on Natsuo. "You're going to carpet clean the next room by yourself!"

"What! Why?"

"Because you're the reason the carpets are so fucking nasty!"

"Fine!" Natsuo yelled.

They worked through the day only stopping for lunch and finished before dinner. They had taken care of the bedrooms first so they could put them together.

"Let's put the bedrooms together before we go to dinner." Fuyumi said.

"We're going to sleep good tonight." Miruko said.

They set up the bedrooms and went to dinner. After dinner, they went back to Miruko's agency and went to their rooms before falling asleep.

Shoto looked up at the ceiling and felt his lips point upward in a small smile. He was home.

Chapter 21: The Sports Festival: Part 1 of 4

Summary:

The sports festival begins.

Chapter Text

AN: Beta Read by Brawn1984 and Starrmastrr.

AN: I do not own any of the characters used in this fic except the OC's of my own creation.

Disclaimer: Language.

Class 1A looked up when they were called out.

"And now!" Present Mic yelled over the speaker. "Let's hear it for Class 1A!"

The crowd erupted into a thunderous applause.

"These little listeners are the ones who were able to hold out against Villains at the USJ!" Mike yelled.

"Yeah!" A much younger feminine voice added. "Those Villains didn't know what hit them!"

Elsa, Izuku, Jason, Johnny, and Rogue laughed when they heard Anna in the announcer's box. Nedzu and Aizawa had told her that she couldn't participate in the sports Festival because she was too young. She almost threw a fit when Present Mic told her she could sit with him and Eraser Head and commentate on the festival instead. She grumbled but finally agreed.

Class 1A walked out to the field followed by the other classes.

"Next is Class Hero Course 1B. General Education classes 1C, 1D, and 1E. The Support Department classes 1F, 1G, and 1H. The Business Management Department Classes 1I, 1J, and 1K. These are the UA First Years!"

The crowd applauded, and the families from class 1A were the loudest ones there. Jason and Momo had gotten together with Nedzu and convinced him to help get the Class 1A parents to the festival. He'd agreed but told them that he couldn't get everyone's parents to come because the festival was used for Pro's and scouts to find cool Hero potential students. They'd agreed and all of Class 1A's families showed up to watch the festival.

"SHOTO!" The Himura family yelled waving Banners and Shoto flags and foam fingers. Touya shot blue fire into the air before getting yelled at for Quirk usage.

Shoto Looked up at his family and blushed slightly before he kept walking.

"MOMO!" Momo's family shouted their support.

Momo waved at her family and smiled.

"OCHOKO!" Ochako's parent's shouted. "COME ON BABY GIRL!" Her dad shouted. "YOU'VE GOT THIS!" "COME ON OCHAKO!" Her mom cheered.

Ochako smiled and covered her mouth as fresh tears formed in the corners of her eyes.

"TSU!" Tsuyu's family cheered. "YOU'VE GOT THIS!"

Tsu smiled up at her family and waved before she kept walking.

"TENYA!" Tensei Iida cheered. "YOU'VE GOT THIS!" "COME ONE TENYA!" His Parents cheered.

Tenya bowed at the waist to his family.

"MINA! MINA! MINA!" Mina's family cheered for her.

Mina spun and gave a double peace sign at her family.

"COME ON YUGA!" A girl who could only be Yuga's sister shouted. "YOU'VE GOT THIS! SHINE THE BRIGHTEST!" "YOU CAN DO THIS YUGA!" His parents yelled.

Yuga smiled and he seemed to glow brighter as he waved at his family.

"COME ON MASHIRAO!" A couple called out. "YOU CAN DO THIS!"

Mashirao waved and kept walking.

"COME ON DENKI!" A girl shouted. "PROVE THAT YOU AREN'T AS DUMB AS YOU ARE!"

Denki blushed and rubbed the back of his head before walking to his spot on the field.

"GET HARD EIJIRO!" A man yelled. "YOU'VE GOT THIS SON!" Another man yelled. "REMEMBER! IT'S MANLY TO WIN, BUT JUST AS MANLY TO DO YOUR BEST!"

Kirishima flexed and pointed at the men before flexing again.

"DON'T EMBARESS ME KODA!" A man yelled.

Koda rubbed his shoulder and walked away in shame.

"YOU'VE GOT THIS RIKIDO!" A family shouted. "WE'LL COOK A LOT OF FOOD NO MATTER HOW YOU DO!"

Sado waved at his family and raised his fists into the air.

"DO YOUR BEST MEZO!" A family shouted.

Shoji waved and kept walking.

"ROCK ON KYOKA!" A couple that looked like hippies shouted.

Jiro waved with her hands and earphone jacks.

"YOU CAN DO THIS HANTA!" A family yelled. "WE'LL GO TO THE COMIC SHOP TOMORROW AND GET MORE OF THOSE SPIDER-MAN COMICS YOU LIKE!"

Sero shot tape into the air and waved at his family before he kept walking.

"DO YOUR BEST FUMIKAGE!" An older couple shouted.

Tokoyami bowed, and Dark Shadow waved.

"TORU!" A family shouted. "SHOW EVERYONE THAT THEY SHOULDN'T UNDERESTIMATE YOU!"

"I AM WAVING AT YOU!" She yelled.

"WE KNOW!" Her family yelled. "WE CAN SEE YOU!"

"Oh." Toru said. "I forgot."

"SHINSO!" Miss Joke yelled. "COME ON SHINSO! YOU'VE GOT THIS! DO YOUR BEST AND KNOW THAT SHOTA AND I HAVE YOUR BACK!"

Shinso, who was walking out with Class 1C, tried covering his face so no one could see how embarrassed he was.

"IZUKU!" Inko, Barton, Clara, Raven, Iduna, Agnarr, Himiko, and Jason Blood yelled. "ELSA!" They Cheered. "JOHNNY! MARIE! JASON! DO YOUR BEST AND WE WILL CELEBRATE AFTERWARDS!" Eri was excited but stayed quiet for the most part.

Izuku blushed but waved at his mom and his friends' families.

Elsa waved at them with a simple royal wave.

Jason waved and walked on.

Johnny became the rider and gave his parents a rock on gesture.

Rogue flew through the air and waved at her mom and her friends' families before landing with her class.

"INTRODUCING THIS YEARS JUDGE'S!" Present Mic yelled. "THE R-RATED HERO! MIDNIGHT!"

There were cheers and wolf whistles from the crowd.

"AND... CEMENTOS!"

The crowd cheered, politely.

"All right!" Midnight spoke into the mic. "Now. Normally we would have the student who scored highest in the entrance exam give a speech to inspire the students and get the crowd pumped, but due to... circumstances. That's not going to be possible. So instead, we are going to have the Class 1A President give the opening speech!"

Everyone looked at Jason who walked up to the stage and looked at his wrist before typing something into it and taking control of the camera's. "This goes out to anyone who needs a hero..." He panned the camera across the different UA Students. "... In the famous words of All Might. "Don't worry... Why? Because we are here! We plan on becoming Heroes, and today we take our first steps to proving ourselves capable of being Heroes. Look at us." He said panning the camera across them. "If you need help, and you can't find a Hero. Find one of us, and we will help you. Go Beyond, Plus Ultra!"

The crowd cheered as Jason left the stage and Midnight took the stage again.

"Truly Inspirational. Thank you, Young Haywood. Now! This is the wheel to decide your fate!" Midnight said as a wheel with different events appeared on the stage. "And your first event is..." She spun the wheel and waited for the wheel to stop on a panel that had paint and a track on it. "PAINTBALL OBSTACLE COURSE!" She shouted.

There were murmurings among the students and cheers among the audience.

Elsa, Izuku, Jason, Johnny, and Rogue looked at each other. They had watched every Sports Festival since they were five, and they had seen the Paintball Obstacle Course. "Fuck." Rogue said.

The first years were waiting at the starting line for the obstacle course to start.

"Wait back." Jason said. "When the race starts, Rogue fly us up. It's going to bottleneck fast, really fast. I'm pretty sure that Himura is going to create an ice wall to keep us at bay. If that happens Izuku and I will break through."

"On your mark!" Midnight said.

The First years got ready to run.

"Get set!"

Izuku wrapped 'Black Whip' around his friends and Rogue grabbed the tendrils.

"Go!"

Rogue flew into the air pulling her friends with her and the First Years exploded forward bottlenecking the passage like They did every year, and Himura frosted the ground freezing the other's feet to the floor. He created an ice wall and shot off.

Rogue swung Jason and Izuku Forward, and they shot toward the wall of ice. Jason changed into his muscle form and super-heated his body while Izuku pushed 26 percent of 'One for All' through his body, and they punched the ice wall shattering it before they landed, rolled to their feet, and shot off like red and green rockets.

Jason created a motorcycle for Johnny and let it fall to the side seeing as only Johnny, Rogue, or someone with a heat-based Quirk would be able to touch it.

Rogue flew out of the tunnel and dropped Johnny and Elsa before flying forward. Johnny ran to the bike and became the Rider before he hopped on and took off while Elsa jumped on Himura's Ice Slide and shot off after him.

"Gotta go fast!" A voice yelled from beside her and shot off leaving a strand of blue hair in his wake.

"Don't aim to be first!" Johnny yelled. "Remember, they will start shooting paintballs soon and we don't want to have the handicap next round!"

"Right!" Elsa yelled back. "Are Jason and Izuku acting as ba..."

She was cut off as a massive paintball exploded behind her.

"AND THE ROBOTS HAVE BEEN RELEASED!" Mic yelled. "THAT'S RIGHT! THIS YEAR WE DECIDED TO USE ROBOTS THAT SHOOT PAINTBALLS AT THE STUDENTS RATHER THAT GANG ORCAS SIDEKICKS."

"Shit!" Johnny yelled. "Change of plans."

"What?"

"Run like hell!"

Jason and Izuku were running on ahead. They were perfectly content with letting Himura pass the finish line first. He'd get the handicap next round, and not them.

"What do you want to do about Gang Orcas sidekicks?" Izuku asked.

Jason created two pistols and spoke. "Don't worry. They are Airsoft guns with bigger pellets. They will hurt like hell, but not much else."

They were caught off guard as a massive ball landed in front of them and would have covered them in paint if Jason hadn't created a dome shield.

"That's not Gang Orca." Izuku said.

"No. It's not."

"AND THE ROBOTS HAVE BEEN RELEASED!" Mic yelled; his voice lowered by the shield. "THAT'S RIGHT! THIS YEAR WE DECIDED TO USE ROBOTS THAT SHOOT PAINTBALLS AT THE STUDENTS RATHER THAT GANG ORCAS SIDEKICKS."

"Shit." Jason swore. "All right. On three. I'll take the robot out and you run for the finish line."

"No. I'll use 'Black Whip' and when it pulls taut, I'll pull you up to me."

"Fine." Jason said collapsing the shield before creating a large assault rifle and shooting at the robot while Izuku pushed 27 percent of 'One for All' into his legs and shot off.

Jason shot the robot with superheated explosive rounds that melted through the exterior and exploded. He was running at the next one when he felt Izuku pull him forward. While he was airborne, he shot the next robot until he landed and rolled to his feet. He finished that Robot off and went flying when Izuku pulled him forward.

Rogue saw Jason flying through the air as Izuku pulled him forward. She flew at a Zero Pointer Robot and punched it hard enough to shatter its head.

She looked down at the group and saw several students getting taken out by the massive paintballs. She looked at the robots and flew at one and sent it flying.

"And it looks like Rogue from Class 1A is doing great. Jason and Izuku have great teamwork skills and look at Johnny. He's tearing it up down there. Some of you may be asking if that's even legal, but I have to say that I don't care. I'm just here to support my friends and sister. And speaking of Sister, Elsa is chasing Himura, and I approve."

Rogue had to chuckle at Anna's antics. Elsa might not have found it funny, but she did.

Johnny was tearing through the obstacle course swinging his Chain Whip at the Robots that were shooting at him. He had just destroyed another one when Anna started talking and he had to laugh. He looked at Elsa who was blushing a very bright pink.

Elsa was following Himura and was gaining on him when Anna began talking and said that she approved of her chasing him. She couldn't help but blush. She created icicles and threw them at the robots she was sliding by and was about to speed up when she heard explosions coming up beside her and she was knocked to the floor.

"OUTTA MY WAY!" Bakugo yelled.

"Oh, fuck no!" Rogue yelled as she flew down to Bakugo and slapped him sending him face first into the ground.

"And that's what you get for picking on my sister you loser!" Anna yelled.

"Martin!" Aizawa's voice said over the speaker.

"What?"

"You know what."

"Fine." She whined.

Rogue flew back and helped Elsa up. "You okay hon?"

"I think so." Elsa said touching her arm and hissing.

Rogue looked at her arm and saw a long thin cut on her arm. "Are you really, okay?"

"Yeah." Elsa said frosting over the cut. "I can keep going."

"Look at that, folks!" Mic said. "Isn't that great?"

There was a sound of agreement in the crowd. The sound was drowned out by Bakugo's explosions.

"Go." Rogue said. "Beat Bakugo. He needs to be brought down a peg."

"Right." Elsa said as she took off.

Rogue looked around at the other students running through the obstacle course. she flew towards them instead of the finish line.

"Why isn't Rogue flying towards the finish line?" Mic asked.

"She has her reasons." Anna said.

Jason and Izuku made it to a chasm filled with tightropes that zigged and zagged across to rock formations and to the other side. Jason created twin grapples and used the first one to hook it into the first rock formation. "See you on the other side." He said before jumping into the chasm.

"Deku-Kun." Ochako said huffing as she ran up to him.

"O-oh hi Uraraka-Chan." He stammered.

"How do you plan to get across?"

"Well..." He had an idea. "...Uraraka-Chan. Are you willing to help me get across, and I will help you get across?"

"Sure, thing Deku-Kun."

Izuku looked over at the rock formation and saw Jason flying to the other side. "Can you make us float?"

"Yes." She spoke. "Can I use my Quirk on you?"

"Yes."

Ochako touched Izuku and activated her Quirk on him before activating it on herself, and they both floated into the air. Izuku looked at the rock formation and activated 'Black Whip'. The two of them shot off towards the rock formation and flew past it to the other side.

"It looks like Haywood and Midoriya have split off, and Midoriya and Uraraka have teamed up." Aizawa said.

"Yup." Anna said. "Before you know it, they will be a pro Hero Team."

"Martin." Aizawa scolded again.

"Not sorry." Anna said.

"Thanks, Deku-kun." Ochako said blushing at Anna's choice of words.

"You-you're welcome. Don't cross the finish line first."

"What? Why not?" Ochako asked startled.

"Because there is a penalty for finishing first."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Be anyone after first place."

"Okay. Thanks, Deku-Kun."

"You're welcome Uraraka-Chan."

"Let's go." Uraraka said as they took off towards the finish line.

Johnny saw the chasm and floored it. He lived for this; the wind rushing through his hair, the adrenaline coursing through his veins, the thought that he could die if he did this wrong... psych. He couldn't die. He forced Hellfire into the bike making it faster before he drove over the edge.

"WHAT IS THIS!" Present Mic yelled. "JOHNNY BLAZE IS JUMPING THE GORGE!"

"Do you have to be so loud Mic?" Aizawa asked.

"That's Johnny." Anna said. "He's a daredevil and stunt man. No challenge is too dangerous, and his Quirk helps him accomplish them."

Johnny felt the bike begin to fall, and he aimed it for the rock formation. He landed and gunned it again before flying through the air again.

There were explosions beside him, and he saw Bakugo flying next to him using his explosions to fly. He grabbed his chain and swung it at Bakugo tangling him in the metal links causing Bakugo to fall from the sky.

"WHOA!" Mic yelled. "WHAT DOES BLAZE THINK HE'S DOING?"

"He's giving Bakugo a taste of his own medicine." Anna said.

"Martin. That's not something you say over the loudspeaker." Aizawa scolded.

"It's the truth." Anna said. "And a Hero is supposed to always tell the truth." She said smugly.

Johnny realized that his bike wasn't going to make it to the other side, so he stood on the seat and jumped for the edge. He landed and rolled into a three-point landing before pushing off the ground and running for the finish line.

Elsa came sliding up to the chasm and slid across the pathway before continuing towards the finish line.

"And that's my sister everyone!" Anna yelled.

"No favoritism Martin." Aizawa scolded.

"I can't root for my sister?" She asked.

"Not when you're an announcer."

"Fine." She whined again.

Elsa couldn't help but laugh as she skated towards the finish line. She was sliding when there was an explosion that knocked her down.

"AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOUNG HAYWOOD FOUND THE MINEFIELD!" Mic yelled.

"Minefield!" She yelled. How could they have forgotten about the minefield? "JASON! "She yelled.

Jason was almost to the finish line. He was currently in third place when the ground exploded under him. He flew backwards and rolled to his feet. 'Minefield.' He thought. 'How did I forget about the fucking minefield?' He needed some way to cross it. He thought for a second longer before he ran through the minefield.

"HAYWOOD IS RUNNING THROUGH THE MINEFIELD!" Present Mic yelled.

The crowd cheered loudly.

"That's Jason." Anna said. "He's so stubborn that his stubbornness lets him plow through all obstacles."

A mine exploded under his feet, but he flipped and let the momentum push him forward before continuing. He felt something wrap around his hand and looked behind him. Izuku had used 'Black Whip' to grab Jason, and Jason pulled on it, sending Izuku and Ochako flying.

'When did they Team up?' He wondered. 'Oh well.'

He saw them sail through the air and past the finish line. He ran past the finish line and changed back watching as he walked up to the group that had assembled, and watched the other contestants cross the finish line.

A red and black Llama ran past the finish line followed by a girl with poofy blue hair and another girl with turquoise hair.

He looked at his wrist computer and found them.

There was no one to cheer for Rio, but she knew that her older sister was watching the sports Festival.

"Hm." Jason said. "They could be a problem." He watched as a girl with a brown-purple Pixie cut, round ears, and hazel eyes crossed the finish line followed by a group of boys with short blond hair, two red Fox ears on their heads, Fox tails at the base of their spines, and whiskers on their faces.

Jason looked up to see Shinra smiling a large, wide grin.

A zero pointer with spiky hair that was yellow on bottom, orange in the middle, and red on top crossed the finish line. When he was over the finish line, he changed from a Zero Pointer to a white kid with sky blue eyes. "Oh yeah!" He cheered. "Who's awesome? I'm Awesome!"

"You did great Joni!" A businesswoman with Auburn hair and teal eyes cheered.

"Way to go son!"

"You know that he wouldn't even have a Quirk without us, right?" Two girls with red hair said. "If it wasn't for us then he'd still be Quirk-less."

""Be happy for your brother!" Their mom said.

"I knew you guys could do it!" A loud booming voice called out. The voice belonged to a 6'9"male with a spiky orange/red Mohawk. "You guys will do great in the next event!"

"We need to take him to an aviary." Lazuli said. "His birthday's coming up, and I think he'd like it."

"You don't have to tell me twice. He's taken care of us since dad... well, you know."

"Yeah. I know."

"I mean. All I ever wanted to do was be a Park Ranger, but noooo! I had to be a Hero to bring prestige to the family because dad was a failed scientist."

"I know. Do you think I wanted to be a Hero either? No. Just find some nice guy and have a nice family. Was that too much to ask?"

"Apparently. Now let's get in line or whatever we need to do."

They were followed by a girl with pink eyes and black hair that grew red the closer it got to the end. She set down a boy she was carrying with dark red eyes and black hair that also grew red the closer it got to the ends.

Kamiko Ryu- Quirk: Demon. Her Quirk gives her demonic strength and speed.

Track: General Education 1E.

Notes: Kamiko is Mute, but she wants to be a Hero alongside her brother.

'No, no, no! I wasn't supposed to cross the finish line!' Zen thought frantically. 'I was supposed to stay safe. Now I'm in danger.'

'Hm. I wonder…' Jason thought as the final student crossed the line.

Kaede Honjou-Quirk: Loving Sacrifice. She can heal any injury no matter how severe. The cost of using her Quirk is unknown.

Track: General Studies 1E.

Notes: She will be an amazing healer one day, but we need to understand her limits first.

'I suppose I made it to the next round. I hope it won't be anything physical. My Quirk is meant for healing not fighting.'

'Hm.' Jason thought. 'I think that she is the one that healed my back when Creed broke it.'

When the last student crossed the finish line Midnight hit a button and a buzzer sounded. "Here are the 48 students who will continue to the next event!" She yelled, and a score board lit up with their names.

Rogue, Johnny, and Elsa crossed the finish line soon after Hanjou.

"These lucky 48 first years will continue onto the second event!" Midnight said into her microphone. "Let's give a big round of applause to all the first years!"

The crowd applauded and cheered for the first years.

"Now! Let's spin the wheel to see what the next event is." Midnight said as she spun the wheel.

The wheel landed on a picture of two teams with a skull in between them.

"Shit." Jason said.

"Shit." Izuku said.

"Team Deathmatch!" Midnight yelled.

The crowd erupted in cheers and screaming.

"Shit." Johnny said.

"Shit." Rogue said.

"Oh no." Elsa said.

"Crap." Anna said into the microphone.

"Martin." Aizawa scolded again.

"Sorry." She spoke.

"The students involved in the next match will have fifteen minutes to put a team together." Midnight exclaimed. "But first..." she pointed her whip at the board and a number value was associated with each name. "Gear! Come up here!"

A kid with long spiky blue hair walked up, and they watched as Midnight sensei held up a black headband with 10,000,000 in white numbers across the top.

"That's right." Midnight said. "Each student will be given a numerical value of points, and the sixteen students with the most points will advance to the third event. So come on up and get your points!"

AN: So, there were a few new characters to this chapter. Can you guess who they are? Enjoy.

Chapter 22: Sports Festival: Part 2 of 4

Summary:

It's the second part of the Sport's Festival, and it's a Team Deathmatch. How will Jason and Izuku fair? Will they make it to the third event?

Chapter Text

AN: Beta Read by Brawn1984 and Starrmastrr

AN: I do not own My Hero Academia or Red Hood

Jason and Izuku looked at each other.

"Want to team up?" Jason asked. "Our Quirks work well together."

"Sure!" Izuku said before turning to Ochako. "Hey Uraraka! Do you want to team up with Jason and I?"

"Sure, thing Deku!"

Jason cringed at the nickname but decided to wait till after the festival to deal with that mess. "Let's find Tsu and see if she wants to join us too." Jason said.

"All right." Izuku and Ochako said as they went to find Tsuyu.

"Hey Tsu." Jason said. "Want to team up with us?"

"Thanks Jason, but no. I want to see what I can do without you and Izuku. Kero, Kero."

"Oh. Okay." He said feeling a little hurt as Tsu walked away. He pushed that to the back of his mind. "Let's see." He said, looking around until he saw a pink haired girl. "Hey Mei!" He called out.

Mei turned around to see Jason, Izuku, and Ochako walking towards her. "Hey guys!" She spoke. "Want to team up?"

"If you want." Jason said.

"Can you help me show off my babies?" She asked.

"Sure!" Ochako said.

"Great! I have just the Babies I want to use!" She said pulling a box over before pulling out three jetpacks, a pair of rocket boots, and a utility belt. "Sorry Jason. I know that you wanted me to work on the Tumbler baby, but I hit a snag and so made this while it unsnags. I hope that's okay." She said, handing him the belt.

Jason looked at the belt and put it on before he felt a shiver climb up his spine.

"Are you okay?" Izuku asked.

"I'm better than okay." Jason said. "We're going to win this thing." He spoke.

"Oh." Mei said. "I hope you don't mind, but I asked my aunt to help me with the utility belt. She told me the materials to use for the belt, the inside of the pouches, and the dispersal capsules."

"Dispersal capsules?" Ochako asked.

"Oh yeah!" Mei said excitedly. "Jason asked me for a utility belt filled with all sorts of gadgets and things. It's so cool."

"Suit up." Jason said pulling on his jet pack and looking at the others who put on their jet packs and Mei put on her rocket boots.

"Times up!" Midnight yelled. "Go to the field for the second event."

Everyone walked to the field.

"In order!" Midnight yelled. "We have Team Gear! With 10,205,000 points!"

The crowd applauded as Shun Gear, Neito Monoma, Tenya Iida, and Rio Busujima walked onto the field.

"YEAH TENYA!" Tensei yelled.

"You can do it Tenya!" His parents yelled.

"Team Ikeda! With 5,003,040 points!"

Akari Ikeda, Honjou Kaede, Kristoff Bjorgman, and Kurt Wagner walked onto the field.

"Go Akari!" The pale girl with purple hair, the tall, slender woman, the dark grey Fox kid, and the person with mint-green hair cheered.

"Come on Kurt!" A blue skinned woman cheered. "You'll do great!" "You've got this son!" A red skinned man cheered.

"Go Kristoff!" Elsa Cheered.

"GO KRISTOFF!" Anna yelled into her mic.

"MARTIN!" Aizawa Sensei yelled.

"NOT SORRY!"

Meanwhile.

Agnarr and Iduna looked at each other. "Is Anna already interested in someone?" Iduna asked.

"Is she already dating?" Agnarr asked.

"I don't know. Do you guys know anything about this?"

"No." Raven said. "Maybe it's just a crush. You know how girls Anna's age can be."

"True." Iduna said. "I had a crush when I was Anna's age."

"You did?" Agnarr asked.

"Yeah."

"What happened?"

"I married him."

"Oh." Agnarr smiled. "OH!" He said when comprehension hit him. "It looks like I'm going to have a talk with that young man then."

Iduna hid a smile. Agnarr might have thought that he was an intimidating figure, but the truth is that he wasn't that intimidating.

Raven on the other hand had no problem laughing at Agnarr's expense. "I'm sorry Agnarr." She laughed. "But you aren't as intimidating as you think."

"What? What do you mean?"

"I mean. You aren't going to intimidate that boy. You might want to ask Jason, Johnny, Rogue, me, or hell, even Izuku or Elsa."

"Wh-what!" Agnarr yelled. "Are you saying that our children are more intimidating than me?"

"Yeah." Raven said.

"Yup." Barton said.

"Sorry." Clara said. "But it's a good thing that you aren't intimidating... right?"

"Oh, I don't know. How am I supposed to know whether or not he's a proper young man?"

"Invite him over for dinner, and we'll all go out. It's not like he can lie to all of us."

"And if he does." Raven continued. "Jason will be able to tell. 'Hellfire Creation' is one hell of a Quirk."

The other adults groaned at the terrible pun.

"Team Midoriya! With 1,530,000 points!"

Izuku, Jason, Ochako, and Mei walked onto the field.

"Izuku!" Inko cheered. "Jason! You guys can do this."

"Kick ass and take names!" Raven yelled.

"You've got this!" Iduna and Agnarr cheered.

"Cause some Chaos!" Barton cheered.

"You guys will do great!" Clara cheered.

"Use what I've taught you and you will succeed!" Jason Blood said.

Raven gave Jason Blood a sideways glare. She wasn't happy with how he'd handled Jason, and she hated that Nezu had already offered him a job so that he couldn't get the hell out of Jason's life, but there wasn't anything she could do. She looked back at the field and went back to cheering Jason and Izuku.

"Team Himura! With 1,120,075 points!"

Shoto Himura, Momo Yaoyorozu, Eijiro Kirishima, and Ojiro Mashirao walked onto the field.

"SHOTO!" The Himura family shouted.

"YOU'VE GOT THIS SHOTO!" Touya yelled shooting blue flames into the air, getting scolded for Quirk usage again.

Natsuo stuck his head into his Pocket dimension and out through the Pocket dimension he'd given Shoto. "Hey Shoto." He spoke. "You've got this. We're rooting for you."

"Thanks?" Shoto asked.

"Oh. I forgot that you don't know what it's like to have people support you. That's going to change from now on. We are rooting for you."

"Thanks, I guess."

Natsuo disappeared back into his Pocket.

"You can do anything you put your mind to Momo!" Her parents cheered.

"Eijiro!" His dads cheered. "You can do this! Just do your best!"

"Remember your training, Ojiro!" His dad cheered.

"You'll do great Ojiro!" His mom cheered.

"Team Shinso! with 205,040 points!"

Hitoshi Shinso, Akio Kuzco, Launch Roshi, and Fumakage Tokoyami walked onto the field.

"SHINSO!" Miss Joke yelled. "YEAH SHINSO! YOU'VE GOT THIS!"

Shinso went as red as a tomato.

"SHINSO!" Ichiro and Honoka cheered. "You've got this!"

"Fumikage!" Fumikage's parents cheered for him. "You can do this! Do your best!"

"Come on Kuzco!" His family cheered him on. "You can do it!"

"I believe in you Launch!" The man with three eyes cheered. The smaller kid still just sat there with his arms crossed.

"Team Shishida! With 65,690 Points!

Jurota Shishida, Juzo Hononuki, Hiryu Rin, and Setsuna Tokage Walked onto the field waving at them.

"Team Kendo! With 20,600 Points!"

Itsuka Kendo, Ibara Shiozaki, Pony Tsunotori, and Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu walked onto the field.

The class 1B students waved at the crowd who cheered them on.

"Team Yanaki! With 19,000 Points!"

Reiko Yanaki, Joni Tesuto, Kosei Tsuburaba, and Shinra Kusakabe.

"You'll do great Joni!" His mom cheered.

"Do your best son!" His dad cheered.

"Don't screw this up for us Joni!" His sisters called out at him.

"Girls!" Their parents scolded.

"Team Gero! With 18,800 points!"

Lapis and Lazuli Gero, Rikido Sato, and Kevin Wendell Crumb walked onto the field.

"Just do your best Lapis. You too Lazuli." The tall 6'9", low voiced man cheered them on.

"Let's take him to the aviary after this." Lapis said.

"Yeah, okay." Lazuli said. "I was thinking of getting him a parrot for his birthday next week anyway."

"Yeah, all right. He deserves it."

"Rikido!" His family called out. "You can do it!"

"Team Kamikiri! With 13,450 points!"

Togaru Kamikiri, Masashi Kishimoto, Kojiro Bondo, and Zen Bushida walked onto the field.

"COME ON MASASHI!" Kushina called out. "YOU'LL DO GREAT!"

"Kushina!" Minato said, trying to calm his wife down.

"CHEER FOR OUR SON MINATO!" Kushina yelled.

Minato sighed. "Go Masashi!" He cheered, though not as loud as Kushina.

Masahi waved at his parents before crossing his fingers together and making ten copies of himself and making a human pyramid before yelling. "I'LL DO MY BEST AND MAKE YOU PROUD!" He yelled. "BELIEVE IT!" Masashi and his copies all gave his parents the peace sign.

Zen crouched on the ground and tried hiding. "No, no, no!" He cried. "I'm not supposed to be here! Can't I trade places with someone? Why me! Why me! Why me!"

"Team Shoji! With 12,600 points!"

Mezo Shoji, Denki Kaminari, Hanta Sero, and Tsuyu Asui walked into the field.

"You've got this Mezo!" His family shouted.

"You made it this far Denki!" His sister shouted. "You've proven that you aren't that dumb! Prove it again!"

Denki rubbed his shoulder and bowed his head.

"Hey." Hanta said. "Don't pay attention to her. She's just jealous."

"No, she's not." Denki said. "She's telling the truth."

"No, she's not. You're a capable student, and you're going to an even better hero."

"Do you really think so?"

"Yeah. Your sister doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. Fuck her."

"Um. Let's not and say we didn't."

"Huh? Oh. Oh! OH! NO, NO, NO! That's not what I meant!"

"I knew what you meant, and thanks for cheering me up."

"You're welcome."

"You can do it Hanta! Do your best!"

Hanta waved at his family.

"Go Tsu!" Her family cheered.

Tsu waved to her family.

"Team Ryu! With 6,020 points!"

Kamiko and Isami Ryu, Kichiro Fukushima, and Rin Rimuru walked onto the field.

"You can do this Kichiro!" The girl said.

"We're here for you Kichiro!" The mom said.

"Yeah. We're here for you son!" The dad said.

"All right!" Midnight called out through the mic. "If all of our teams are ready..."

Team Midoriya got ready.

"Get set..."

Team Midoriya went to activate their jet packs and rocket boots.

"GO!"

Team Midoriya activated their Jet Packs and Rocket Boots while Jason threw a series of pellets covering the field in a thick smokescreen.

"AND TEAM MIDORIYA IS OFF TO A STRONG START!" Mic shouted.

"YUP!" Anna joined in just as loud. "THE OTHER TEAMS MIGHT AS WELL GIVE UP NOW BECAUSE TEAM MIDORIYA IS GOING TO WIN!"

"Martin!" Aizawa growled.

"NOT SORRY! I'M CHEERING FOR MY FRIENDS!"

Jason and Midoriya laughed. Jason took a visor out of his Utility Belt and put it on. He could see the other teams. He reached into the belt and pulled out several small pellets.

"What are those?" Ochako asked.

"Foam pellets. They will coat the others in foam so we can grab their..."

He was cut off as the smokescreen dissipated by a blue blur.

"Shit!" Jason swore. "Izuku! Mei! We've got a speedster! Start planning on how to take it down."

*BAMF* Kurt appeared next to them, and Jason lashed out at him only for him to teleport again with a *BAMF*. Jason looked around and saw Kurt next to Izuku. He threw a pellet that coated him in foam and dropped him.

"Thanks." Izuku said with a nod.

Jason gave him a thumbs up and flew down and caught Kurt so that he had a softer landing than if he'd just plummeted to the ground.

"Look at that folks!" Mic yelled into his mic. "Just because they're on different teams won't stop Haywood from being a good sport."

Jason looked around and flew back up. "Mei. Can you see if you can see Team Gear? They are the biggest threat since we took out Team Ikeda's Teleporter."

Mei looked around and couldn't see Team Gear. Team Himura had created an effective defense of having Himura and Yaoyorozu hidden in an ice base backed into a corner with a moat of ground where Kirishima and Ojiro were keeping anyone out, and they were surrounded by a moat of ice.

Team Shinso had also taken a defensive strategy where Akio Kuzco had transformed into a Llama, while Launch rode on his back shooting at people with, hopefully, rubber bullets while Shinso and Tokoyami would walk up to people close to them and get their points.

She looked around and saw Team Gear stop, and hand points they'd stolen to Gear who put them on his neck and took off again leaving Busujima as a rally point.

"Good news!" She shouted. "Team Gear is using Busujima as a rally point! If we hover over her then we can just wait to grab them when they come back."

"No good. Her Quirk allows her to see two minutes into the future giving her the advantage... unless. I have an idea."

"How bad of an idea?" Izuku asked.

"Let's just say that it involves me being bait."

"Is there any way around this idea?"

"It looks like Team Gear, Team Midoriya, Team Himura, and Team Shinso are the only ones in the race now!" Mic yelled. "Team Himura's Defense can't be beat, Team Gear's speed is unparalleled, Team Shinso's strategy is unbeatable, and unless you can fly Team Midoriya's Strategy is for the birds!"

"Seriously Mic?" Aizawa growled.

"Oh, I get it!" Anna said. "It's because they're flying."

They could hear Aizawa facepalm into the mic.

"Ten Minutes!" Midnight called.

"I'd say no." Jason said. "Here. You guys take some of these foam pellets and when they stop to rally and help Busujima throw them at us. I'll dive out of the way, and then you can swoop in and grab their points."

"Sounds good to me." Mei said.

They flew down and Jason dropped in front of Busujima who swung her wooden Katana at him. He rolled out of the way and created a crowbar. He swung it at Busujima who blocked but was pushed back by the overwhelming power behind the strike.

"You're Plan won't work." She spoke. "I know what you're planning?"

"Oh really? And what am I planning?"

"Your plan is to distract me so when my Team comes back to me, your Team will swoop in and take their points."

Jason realized that Busujima's Quirk had one glaring hole in it. She had to wait for her Quirks cooldown before she could use it again, and when she saw what she saw she thought it was what was going to happen. There was no room for change. He was going to exploit it ruthlessly.

"Well." He spoke. "It looks like we'll have to change our strategy to beat you guys. I'm still going to fight you though. The crowd deserves a good fight."

"Agreed." Busujima said.

They swung their weapons and connected. Swinging their weapons like the warriors they were. Advancing, deflecting, dodging, fading, feinting, guarding, lunging, parrying, pivoting, retreating, shedding, striking, and eventually they were both breathing a little heavier.

"You know what." Busujima panted lightly. "You're not a bad swordsman."

"Neither are you." Jason returned the compliment. "I'd like to spar more frequently if you have time."

"Hey Busujima!" A voice called out.

Jason dove out of the way, and Team Gear was caught off guard as several foam pellets fell from the sky and enveloped them.

"Bet you didn't see that coming." Jason taunted as he walked up to gear and pulled the points from around his neck and flew back up to Team Midoriya.

"LOOK AT THAT FOLKS!" Mic yelled. "YOUNG HAYWOOD AND BUSUJIMA GAVE US A SHOW OF SWORDSMANSHIP, AND THEN TEAM MIDORIYA PULLS OFF A STUNNING STRATEGY AND... WAIT! WHAT'S THIS?! TEAM GEAR WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE 10,000,000 POINT HEADBAND!"

Jason looked at the headbands as he passed them to Izuku. No 10,000,000-point headband. He smirked. It looked like Team Gear had taken precautions to stay in the race.

"Five minutes!" Midnight yelled into her mic.

"Should we try and get the other points?" Ochako asked.

"Himura has the ultimate defense, Gear is stuck in foam, and Shinso is heading for Gear." Mei said.

"What do you want to do Izuku?" Jason asked.

Izuku began muttering before he got an idea. "I have an idea, and if it works, it could be a combo move."

"What is it?"

"Hellfire Bullet." Izuku explained.

"I like it. How do we pull it off?

"I throw you, and you power up your armor afterwards."

"Let's try it." Jason said. "Ochako. Take my gravity away."

"Right." She said touching five fingers to his exposed arm.

He shut off his jet pack as soon as it was done and just floated there. He went prone and Izuku placed his hand on his feet before pushing 27 percent of 'One for All' into his arms. "COMBO MOVE! HELLFIRE BULLET!" They yelled in unison before Izuku threw Jason.

"WHAT IS THIS?!" Mic yelled. "HAYWOOD AND MIDORIYA ARE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OFF A COMBO MOVE!"

Izuku threw Jason with 27 percent of 'One for All', at the dome of ice that Himura had set up. Jason activated his Hellfire Armor and slammed into the dome of ice.

"What!" Himura yelled as Jason shattered his dome of ice. He threw up an ice wall to protect him and Momo.

Jason Spartan kicked the ice wall, shattering it. He reached through and grabbed Himura by his shirt. He began pulling the headbands.

Himura grabbed Jason's arm and froze it in place... or tried too at least. Jason's Hellfire armor melted his ice. Jason pulled Himura and threw him out of his ice dome. Himura jumped to his feet, and ice formed up his left side.

Jason charged at Himura who shot balls of ice at him. He dodged and reached into his utility belt before he threw a smoke pellet at the floor shrouding him in the thick white smoke.

Himura looked at the smoke cloud and shot ice into the cloud.

"TIME!" Midnight yelled.

The smoke cleared to show a solid block of ice. Jason was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey Himura!" A voice yelled from the sky causing him to look up. What he saw shocked him.

Jason was flying in the sky. "You missed!" He yelled.

"LOOK AT THAT FOLKS!" Mic yelled. "TALK ABOUT AN EXPLOSIVE FINISH!"

"That's Jason!" Anna said. "He's the most over dramatic drama Queen I know!"

"HEY!" Jason yelled at Anna. "I resent that!"

"Drama Queen!" Anna yelled.

"Martin! Haywood!" Aizawa yelled.

"But he is!" Anna defended.

"Am not!" Jason yelled.

"MOVING ONTO THE THIRD EVENT!" Mic yelled before things could get out of hand. "It looks like Team Gear will be moving onto the third event with 10,000,000 points. Along with Team Midoriya with 4,109,600 points, Team Shinso with 2,784,640 points, and Team Himura with 1,120,075 points. Let's hear it for them folks!"

The crowd applauded the four teams that would be moving onto the third round.

"We are going to take a lunch break before the third event. So, take an hour, and be back here at 12:30 so you can experience the third event."

The crowd began dispersing.

Jason walked around and met the other contestants.

He walked up to Team Gear. "Hey." He spoke. "You guys did pretty well."

"Better than you 1A snobs at least." Monoma said.

"Yeah. You can take your inferiority complex and shove it." Jason said.

"Jason!" Iida scolded. "As Class 1A's president you need to have more self-control than that!"

"I haven't punched him yet." Jason snarked. "Keyword being YET. Keep it up Monoma, and I'll make sure that you don't make it to the third event."

"JASON!" Iida snapped. "What did you come here for? If it was just to antagonize Monoma, then I must respectfully ask you to leave."

"Well, I did come here to ask how you guys were doing, but then Mr. Inferiority Complex started yapping'."

"We are doing fine." Iida said. "Now, please Leave."

Jason walked away to check on the next Team. He walked up to Team Ikeda. "Hello." He spoke. "How are you guys doing after that event?"

"I have been better." Kurt said. "Zank you for not letting me hit ze ground. Zat would have hurt."

"You're welcome. What about the rest of you?" He asked.

"Well, we were hoping to make it to the next round." Akari said. "Well. I guess that we'll just try harder next year."

"Yeah." Kristoff said. "I wasn't expecting to get to the third event anyway."

"No negativity!" Akari scolded. "Think positively, and anything can happen."

"I agree." Honjou Kaede said. "A positive attitude can make all the difference."

"You're Honjou Kaede." Jason said.

"Um... Yes."

Jason bowed. "I haven't had a chance to thank you for healing my back last month when the Villain broke it."

"Oh... You-you're welcome."

"AKARI!" The purple haired girl shouted. "You were amazing."

"But I didn't win."

"That doesn't matter! You did amazing! You'll do better next year."

"You're right! I'll train harder, and I'll do better next year!"

"YEAH! Let's go get lunch."

Jason looked at the others.

"Lunch sounds pretty good right now." Kristoff said. "I'm going to find Anna."

"Be careful." Jason said. "After those announcements? Agnarr and Iduna are going to be on a warpath."

"Are you kidding? I've faced Eternal Winter Elsa. If I can face that, I can face anything."

"Okay. If, you're sure."

"I'm going to go find Rogue." Kurt said.

"Bye." Jason said.

"Goodbye."

Honjou looked at Jason. "I'm going to go get lunch now."

"Enjoy." Jason said walking away to find the next team. He found Team Himura on their way out of the Arena. "Hey." He called out.

Team Himura and Team Shinso stopped on their way out.

"Hello." Himura said.

"How are you guys doing."

"I'm just psyched that I get to go to the next round." Kirishima said.

"It will be a little intense." Momo said. "You will be a tough Competitor."

"I'm not going to make it easy." Jason replied. "You'll have to earn the right to pass on to the next bracket."

"Well." Kirishima said. "We might as well give up now. You're the strongest member of Class 1A."

"Is that how a Hero would act?" He asked.

"I'll beat you." Shinso said. "I'll prove that you aren't as tough as you think you are."

"Whoa." Kaminari said. "You don't know what Jason is capable of."

"Yeah." Kirishima added. "He's like the strongest kid in class without his Quirk."

"Then is that why he got his back broken by a Villain?" Shinso asked.

"Nice alliteration." Jason said. "But keep this up, and I'll have to treat you like an actual threat."

'Yes.' Shinso thought. 'Keep it up. You're making it too easy for me."

"You'll make a great underground Hero someday." Jason told Shinso. "Maybe we'll cross paths in the field sometime."

Shinso looked at Jason in shock.

"What?" Kirishima asked. "You're not going to be an above ground Hero?"

"With my tactics?" Jason asked. "No Thank you. My tactics are better suited for an underground Hero."

"Suit yourself bro."

Shinso looked at Jason before someone else caught his eye.

"Hey Jason!" Mei yelled.

Shinso looked at Mei, and he felt conflicted. Did he stay here and talk some more, or did he run for it?

"Hey Mei." Jason said. "I was just talking with Shinso. He's trying to get into Heroics, and I think you might be able to help him with some gear."

"Ooh! You want me and Shinso to make babies together?"

"WHAT!" Everyone yelled.

Shinso went from being dead tired to fully awake in an instant, he didn't like it. "WHAT!" He yelled.

"Yes." Jason said. "After the Sports Festival will you help him make some Hero Gear? Even if he doesn't make it into Heroics, I'm pretty sure that he'll need Hero Gear."

"Eraser Head Sensei already asked me to make babies with Shinso. What did you have in mind?"

"What did Aizawa Sensei have in mind?"

"He swore me to secrecy. So, I can't tell you."

"Well. All right then. I guess there's not much you can do till after the sports Festival then."

"Okay. Talk to you later."

"Actually, I was going to get some lunch too. Want to meet up with the others?"

"Sure. I want to talk to you about our babies."

"WHAT!" The group yelled.

"Let's go." Jason said.

They walked away leaving the group confused.

Jason and Mei walked into the cafeteria and grabbed lunch from Lunch Rush before going to sit down at the table with their friends.

"Hi Tsu." Jason said.

"Hello Jason." Tsu replied. "Congratulations on getting into the third event."

"Thanks." Jason said not sure what else to say.

"Can we talk." Tsu asked.

"Yeah. Sure. Let's go."

They walked out as Team Himura entered. Himura walked over to Izuku and looked at him. "Midoriya. Can I talk to you?"

"Uh... Sure."

They left the cafeteria and found an empty room.

"What did you want to talk about?" He asked.

"You're All Might's secret love child, aren't you?" Himura asked.

"Um... no. What made you think that?"

"You have a Quirk similar to his."

Izuku had brainstormed with his friends about how to handle people finding out about 'One for All'. So, he was ready for Himura when he asked. "My father's Quirk is 'Fire Breath', and I have a mutated version of it called 'Dragon'. It gives me enhanced strength, speed, agility, and the ability to breathe fire. I was a late bloomer because of how strong my Quirk is. I needed to train my body in order to be able to handle it, but I still have trouble handling it because my body is still getting used to it."

"Oh. Then I suppose that I was mistaken... unless that is a lie to give you peace of mind."

Izuku wasn't ready for that, and he believes that he handled it in an appropriate manner... "WH-WHA-WHAT! NO!" He shook his hands in front of him. "NO! WHY WOULD I LIE ABOUT THAT!?"

"Because. Like me you are embarrassed of who your father is. I can understand that. Having the Number one Hero as your father must be incredibly stressful, and I can understand why you would want to hide that. Nonetheless I will beat you using my left side so that people do not confuse me for Endeavors son. I will keep your secret. Just know that I will not hold back."

Izuku looked at Himura in confusion. How could someone be that... "Hey!" He called out. "If you aren't going to use your fire then how do you plan on not holding back?"

"I don't need my fire to beat you."

"Fine." Izuku said, putting his foot down. "If you're not going to use your fire, then I won't use my Quirk."

"What?! Why?"

"Because. I don't need to use my Quirk to beat you. If you come out swinging with everything you've got, then so will I, but if you hold back... so will I."

Himura looked at Izuku and hardened his eyes. "Fine." He said walking away.

Izuku headed back towards the lunchroom feeling conflicted.

Nezu watched Izuku and Shoto talk and was intrigued. He began typing away at his computer. This was going to be interesting.

When he finished with that, he turned to look at another conversation happening in another classroom.

Jason and Tsu looked at each other for a long while. "Jason?" Tsu asked.

"Yes?" Jason replied.

"Are you okay? Kero, Kero."

"Yeah. I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well... You know that I tend to speak my mind."

"Yes."

"Well. It just seems to me that you have become hyper focused on becoming a Hero since... well since you lost your mom. Kero."

"And that's a bad thing?" Jason asked. "We are at a school to BECOME Heroes."

"Yes. I know that, but it seems like you are trying to fill the void left by your mom with becoming a Hero."

"And that's a bad thing?"

"It is when it's all you focus on. Kero. You need to do more than train, go to school, and train."

"I do. I eat, I sleep, I'm not falling behind in school, I'm still in the top five students, what else is there?"

"What about your social life?"

"Every spare second I have is devoted to helping my friends and taking care of Himiko and Eri."

"Exactly. Himiko is older than you, but you treat her like a little sister. You need to let her do her own thing rather than watch her, every spare second of your life."

"But..."

"No buts!" Tsu snapped. "She is at the school. Give her some space. You don't need to coddle her."

"What about Eri?"

"You are not the only one here! She is with Himiko, and she has an army of Heroes, and Heroes in training in front of her. It's not like you need to be holding her hand every day. Kero."

Nezu thought about that and typed up a memo.

Jason looked at Tsu. "What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to take care of yourself. Kero."

"I will. Once everyone is safe from the Villain who killed my mother."

Tsu shot her tongue out at Jason and caught him. "I'm thorry Jathon." She spoke. "But I won't let you hurt yourthelf or put yourthelf in danger. There are people who care about you, and they would hate it if anything happened to you. They would thank me for doing thith." She took out her phone and texted Aizawa Sensei.

Aizawa Shota and Emi Fukukado were sitting in the teachers' lounge when Shota's phone chimed with an alert. He took out his phone and looked at it.

Asui Tsuyu: Aizawa Sensei. It's Tsu. I need your help with Jason. We're in the lounge next to the cafeteria.

"Damn it, Haywood." Aizawa swore.

"What's wrong?" Emi asked.

"Apparently Haywood is being irrational again."

"He's the one who lost his mom, was forced to accept a Quirk enhancement, and is still just an average teenager?"

"There is nothing average about Haywood, but yes."

"Do you want help?"

"Yes but stay back. I don't want him thinking we are threatening him."

"Okay. Let's go."

They got up and headed for the lounge area next to the cafeteria.

When they arrived, they saw Haywood tied up in Asui's tongue.

"Okay." Shota said. "Asui. What happened?"

Tsu explained her findings and her fears of how Jason was acting, and why she was worried about him.

"Haywood." Shota said. "Why are you acting this way?"

"Because. The longer that Villain is out there, anyone who is seen with me, anyone who has been seen with me, and anyone who might be seen with me is in danger."

"Your reasons are invalid and irrational."

"What!?"

"You are training to become a Hero, correct?"

"Yes."

"Are You planning on having any kind of relationship, whether it be with a partner or spouse?"

"Y-yes." He said caught off guard.

"Why don't you think they would be in danger?"

"The chances of them being a Hero are rather high."

"And Himiko, Eri, and your friends aren't Hero potential?"

"No! It's just..."

"It's just what?" Shota asked.

"I don't know. I'm a Hero in training and I couldn't do Jack shit to save my mom."

Shota rubbed his face. "I want to see you here tomorrow talking with Hound Dog or Miss Black about this. If you don't, I will expel you and Asui. Asui."

"Yes, Aizawa Sensei?"

"Make sure that Haywood meets with one of the counselor's tomorrow, or you will be expelled along with him."

"Yes, Aizawa Sensei."

"What!" Jason demanded. "No! You can punish me but leave Tsu out of this!"

"You have proven that you value your friends more than yourself. This will ensure that you visit with the Counselor's."

"This is another logical ruse isn't it!" Jason demanded.

"No. I will be talking to Hound Dog and Miss Black on Monday morning. If they tell me that you did not visit with either of them, I will expel you and Asui at the start of class. Am I understood?"

"Yes Sensei." Jason glared at him.

"Good. Now get back to lunch and proceed back to the field for the third event."

Jason and Tsu walked back to the cafeteria.

"Tsu." Jason said. "I am so sorry."

"Don't be. So long as you get help, I'm fine with being there for you. Kero."

They walked back to the cafeteria and finished eating.

The sixteen students walked out to the field when it was time for the third event, and we were waiting for it to start.

"Good afternoon!" Present Mic shouted. "Are you ready for the third event!"

The crowd erupted in applause.

In the Stands Inko's phone rang, and she took it out to look at the caller I.D.

"HISASHI!" She answered happily.

"Hey Inko." Hizashi said over the phone.

Inko could hear noise over the phone. "Hisashi where are you?" She asked only to hear an echo.

"Turn around." Hizashi said from behind her.

Inko turned around to see a tall man who looked like an older Izuku, her husband and Izuku's father, Midoriya Hizashi. "HISASHI!" She yelled running at him and hugging him before planting a kiss on his lips. "When did you get in?" She asked.

"Just now. I came straight over from the airport."

"Are you on vacation?"

"Kind of."

"What do you mean?"

"I Uh... I got let go."

"What! Why?!"

"Lay-offs. I did get to keep my pension though."

"Well... that's good, I guess."

"Yeah. Don't worry. I'll find another job."

"We can worry about that later. Let's just watch the sports Festival, and we can go out to dinner later."

"Sounds like a plan." Hisashi said.

Inko led Hisashi to their seats where everyone greeted him, and they sat down to watch the tournament portion of the sports Festival.

AN: Sorry if this chapter had less fights in it than you were expecting, but there were three speedsters in it (More like two speedsters and a copycat), so they were going to take out a lot of people very quickly. So that's why I wrote the chapter the way I did. It also allowed me to do a bit of world building and some character development. Enjoy.

Chapter 23: The Sports Festival: Part 3 of 4

Summary:

The third task begins, and Present Mic gets the crowd going. Anna tries supporting her friends. Aizawa tries to keep her from showing favoritism.

Chapter Text

"All right!" Present Mic yelled. "Who's ready to watch these kids RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!?"

"I'm ready to watch Jason and Izuku take this tournament by storm." Anna said.

"Martin." Aizawa scolded.

"Oh, come on Aizawa Sensei." Anna Whined. "You've seen Jason and Izuku fight. You know who's really going to win."

"There is always a chance that another student could win."

"I actually calculated the odds of anyone other than Jason and Izuku winning."

"Keep it to yourself."

"What? You don't want to know that..." *Click.*

"Young Martin. How did you even get that chalk board in here? We don't even use chalk boards anymore."

"Don't encourage her Mic." Aizawa said.

"All right! Let's get this tournament started!" Present Mic yelled.

The crowd cheered in anticipation.

"But first! Let's see what the order for the bracket is!"

The screens lit up and the digital wheels began spinning until they landed on the order of the tournament.

Round 1

Jason Haywood Vs. Mashirao Ojiro

Round 2

Launch Roshi Vs. Eijiro Kirishima

Round 3

Izuku Midoriya Vs. Neito Monoma

Round 6

Round 7

Hatsumé Mei Vs. Rio Busujima

Round 8

"Will Jason Haywood and Mashirao Ojiro please report to their waiting rooms?" Present Mic asked.

Jason looked at Ojiro and nodded. The two got up and made their way to the elevator that led to the waiting rooms.

Once in his waiting room Jason took the time to look inside himself.

'I could easily win this fight just by using my Quirk, but I want to give the people a good show and allow Ojiro to show what he is capable of.' Jason came to a decision right there. 'I will only rely on my MMA skills.'

After fifteen minutes were up, Jason walked to his exit.

"HEYYYY!" Present Mic yelled. "LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR THE PRESIDENT OF CLASS 1A! THE GUY WHO CAN CREATE WHATEVER HE WANTS! THE GUY YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO TOUCH WHATEVER HE CREATES BECAUSE IT'S SO HOT IT CAN MELT SOLID STEEL! GIVE IT UP FOR JASONNNNN HAYWOOOOD!"

The crowd erupted in applause as Jason walked out before backflipping into the ring before creating his armor and strutting around the ring. 'I'm so glad no one can see my face. This is so embarrassing.'

Meanwhile, In the stands.

Johnny, Rogue, and Elsa were brimming with uncontrolled mirth.

"I-I can't be-believe J-J-Jason is do-doing that!" Rogue yelled through her tears.

"He m-must be ha-hating that!" Johnny said.

"Why?" Kristoff asked, confused.

"Because he's so used to being invisible." Elsa explained. "He doesn't like the attention, and so doing something like this is WAY outside his comfort zone."

"I wonder if he will use any of our babies!" Hatsumé yelled.

"You-your what!" Iida asked, red faced.

"Our babies. We spent half of the time he was supposed to be training making babies together."

"WHAT!" Iida yelled. "That is not what those training periods were for!"

"Not that way!" Rogue yelled. "That's what Hatsumé calls her inventions!"

"Yup." Hatsumé smiled. "Jason brought me a list of things he wanted built and asked me to help him. I told him to choose three and leave the rest with me for a later time."

"What did he choose?" Eijiro asked.

"I can't build and tell." Hatsumé smirked.

"I know." Kristoff laughed. "And let's just say that I wouldn't want to be a villain being chased by Jason when they are done."

Ojiro

Ojiro stood in the tunnel waiting to be announced.

He heard Present Mic introduce Jason and wondered how he would be introduced.

"NEXT! GIVE IT UP FOR THE MARTIAL ARTIST WITH A POWERFUL APPENDAGE! WILL HE PUNCH YOU, KICK YOU, OR HIT YOU WITH HIS TAIL? GIVE IT UP FOR MASHIRAOOOO OJIROOOO!"

Ojiro walked out to the arena to applause and jumped into the arena before landing on his tail and waving to the audience.

"Are you two ready?" Midnight asked.

"I have a question." Jason said having lost his armor when Ojiro entered. "Well, it's more of a request."

"What is it?" Midnight asked.

"Could we fight by Martial Arts rules?"

"Is this okay with you Ojiro?" Midnight asked.

"I'm okay with it."

"Very well." Midnight said. "Martial arts rules it is. Now, what are they?"

Ojiro explained the rules to Midnight, with the exception that they would use three strikes rather than the more complex point system, and she agreed.

"Face me." Midnight said. Jason and Ojiro faced Midnight. "Bow." The two bowed to Midnight. "Face each other." The two faced each other. "Bow." The two bowed. "Fight!"

Jason and Ojiro launched at each other, each trying to get the first blow. Ojiro blocked a strike from Jason before attempting to land one of his own only to be blocked by Jason. The two fought each other in the hopes of gaining the upper hand, and finally Ojiro landed the first hit striking Jason in the stomach. Jason sucked in a deep lungful of air while he walked back to his side of the arena.

"Face me." Midnight said. They faced Midnight. "Bow." The two bowed. "Face each other." They faced each other. "Bow." They bowed to each other. "Fight!" Midnight yelled.

Jason ran at Ojiro and jumped at him only to fall to the floor when Ojiro hit him in the stomach with his tail.

In the stands.

"Why is Jason doing this?" Rogue asked. "He's a way better fighter than that."

"He's giving Ojiro the best chance possible." Johnny said.

"He's what?" Hagakure asked.

"He's giving Ojiro the best chance possible to show what he's capable of." Johnny said. "Jason could beat Ojiro easily, but he wanted to show what his opponents were capable of."

"There's the next round." Rogue said as the two started fighting in the third round only to have Jason elbowed Ojiro in the back gaining a point for himself.

"Do you think he will win?" Kristoff asked.

"Just watch." Rogue said.

They watched as Jason and Ojiro bowed to Midnight before bowing to each other. The two ran at each other, and Jason earned another point by kneeing Ojiro in the stomach.

Jason and Ojiro

Ojiro looked at Jason. "Was this your plan the entire time?"

"Pretty much." Jason said. "Give you the lead before tying it up and leaving it to a single point."

"May the best of us win."

"Face me." Midnight said. Jason and Ojiro faced Midnight. "Bow." They both bowed. "Face each other." They faced each other. "Bow." They bowed. "Fight."

Jason and Ojiro ran at each other before Ojiro spun his tail at Jason. Jason vaulted over Ojiro's tail and landed in a crouch before he barely missed a kick from Ojiro by rolling out of the way. Ojiro swung his tail at Jason who caught it and threw him to the side and spun around before landing a kick in Ojiro's stomach sending him out of bounds.

"JASON HAYWOOD WINNNS!" Present Mic shouted into the microphone.

"Was there any doubt?" Anna asked.

"We know." Aizawa said in a monotone. "We just watched the fight."

"I know, but I'm hyping it up."

"You're still on speaker."

Jason walked to Ojiro and offered him his hand.

"Look at that sportsmanship!" Mic yelled.

Jason and Ojiro waved as they walked off the field and into the tunnel.

"Good fight." Jason said.

"You too." Ojiro replied.

They walked into Recovery Girls office.

"Hello, hello, hello." Recovery Girl said. "That was an impressive fight. I am glad that you didn't injure yourselves too badly."

"We were fighting by improvised Martial Arts rules." Jason said. "We were fighting to put on a show of our skill rather than maim or seriously injure each other."

"Well." Present Mic said over the speaker. "As exciting as that last match was, let's hope that the next match is even better."

"I thought it was pretty good." Ojiro said.

"He's just hyping up the audience." Jason replied.

"You two are okay." Recovery said. "You can go back to your class."

"Thank you." Both Jason and Ojiro said with a bow.

"Our next match up will be Launch Roshi of the 1B Hero Course and Eijiro Kirishima of the 1A Hero Course." Present Mic said over the speaker. "Will Launch Roshi and Eijiro Kirishima please report to the preparation rooms?"

Kirishima walked towards the elevator and met Launch.

"Hey." He spoke. "Let's do our best and give 'em a show."

"Oh." Launch said. "Okay. Let's do our best."

They walked out to the Arena and stood on their sides of the Arena.

"Are you ready?" Midnight asked.

"Yes!" Kirishima cheered.

"Um... yes?" Launch said.

"Begin!"

As if on cue, Launch sneezed, and the shy girl was replaced with an aggressive girl who pulled submachine guns out of her hair and began firing at Kirishima.

Kirishima went hard with an "Eep!" and began walking towards Launch. He didn't have long, maybe only thirty seconds at most, so he couldn't waste it. He turned his walk into a run and charged Launch.

Launch wasn't expecting Kirishima to charge her, and so she wasn't prepared for when he bodychecked her out of bounds.

"And Eijiro Kirishima wins!" Present Mic yelled. "He will move onto the next round!"

"Yet will he be able to go toe to toe with Jason?" Anna asked.

"Martin." Aizawa scolded.

"What?"

"You know what."

"Onto the next match." Mic said. "The next match is Izuku Midoriya Vs. Neito Monoma!"

"YES!" Inko and Hisashi cheered. "COME ON IZUKU!" They cheered. "YOU CAN DO THIS! COME ON BABY!" Inko cheered. "YOU'VE GOT THIS IZUKU!" Hisashi cheered. Agnarr, Iduna, Barton, Clara, Raven, and Jason Blood cheered with them.

"Will Izuku Midoriya and Neito Monoma report to their preparation rooms?" Present Mic said.

Izuku got up and walked to the elevator while his classmates cheered him on.

"You've got this Izuku." Jason said. "You have all the skills you need to beat him."

"Come on Izuku." Rogue said. "Kick his sorry excuse of a face into the ground."

"Make him regret messing with Class 1A." Johnny added.

"You'll do great Izuku." Elsa said.

"You can do this Deku!" Ochako cheered.

The rest of his class cheered him on, and he made his way to the hallway leading down to the waiting room. He walked down the hallway when he saw Monoma in the elevator start pressing the close button. As the doors closed Monoma smiled a sly smile. Izuku had to wait for the elevator to return but wasn't sure what to do about Monoma. He wasn't sure what Monoma's Quirk was and wasn't sure what to do about it. 'I guess I'll play it by ear then.' The elevator door opened, and he walked in. He moved to his preparation room while muttering to himself.

He was waiting, wondering what he could do when his thoughts were interrupted by Present Mic. "Izuku Midoriya and Neito Monoma, please report to the arena for your match." Izuku walked out and zoned out while waiting to be introduced.

"...GIVE IT UP FOR IZUKUUUU MIDORIYAAAA!" Present Mic yelled.

The crowd burst into applause as Midoriya walked out. He looked at the arena and saw that Monoma had been introduced first.

"I'm sorry for taking the elevator." Monoma said. "It was just nerves and all."

"Oh. I understand." Izuku said.

"No hard feelings?" Monoma asked, reaching out his hand.

"No hard feelings." Izuku said, shaking Monoma's hand.

"Ready?" Midnight asked.

"Ready." Monoma said, walking away with a sly smile.

"Ready sensei." Izuku said, walking to his side of the arena.

"Then fight." Midnight said, dropping her whip.

"I can't believe you are sitting on all this power!" Monoma yelled as his arm became shrouded in blue lightning.

"NO!" Izuku yelled. "STOP! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!"

"I won't be stopped by you 1A brats! Always looking down on us because you're class 1A! Well, you're not better than us! And I will prove it by using your own Quirks against you! Now, take this!" Monoma yelled, punching out at Midoriya with 'One for All'.

Izuku used 'One for All' forty percent to get out of the way and behind Monoma. He looked at Monoma and was about to ask if he was okay when Monoma shrieked in agony. "My arm!" Monoma shrieked. "What did you do to my arm!" Midnight looked at Izuku and Monoma and saw that Monoma's arm was a nasty shade of black and blue. Monoma fell to his knees and grabbed his arm only to whimper in pain.

"I tried to warn you." Izuku said as tears began filling his eyes.

"Neito Monoma is unable to battle." Midnight said. "Izuku Midoriya wins!"

The medics came to the field and laid Monoma on a stretcher before carrying him off the field. When the dust around the arena cleared the crowd saw that Monoma had destroyed most of the arena with that attack.

"Midoriya?" Midnight asked. "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry." Izuku Apologized.

"Whatever for?"

"For Monoma. I tried stopping him from attacking, but he wouldn't listen."

"That's not your fault young Midoriya. Monoma chose to do that, and now he has to suffer the consequences. Go back to your seat so Cementos can fix the arena."

"Okay." Izuku sniffed.

When Izuku got back to his seat he saw his friend's waiting for him.

"That wasn't your fault." Rogue said.

"You got that right." Johnny agreed. "That Monoma kid tried to harness your Quirk, and he couldn't handle it. It's his own damn fault."

"I wish that made me feel better." Izuku said, clenching his hands into fists.

"Hey." Jason said. "Stop worrying about that kid. He screwed up, and he learned a valuable lesson."

Izuku sat down and felt tears sting the corners of his eyes. Someone had gotten hurt because of him.

It took Cementos twenty minutes to repair the Arena, but eventually it was fixed, and they were able to continue.

"That last match was interesting, but let's hope that the next match is more interesting."

The crowd cheered.

"The next match is Hitoshi Shinso Vs. Akio Kuzco!"

"YAY SHINSO!" Miss Joke yelled. "SHINSO! YOU CAN DO IT! COME ON! YOU'LL DO GREAT!"

Shinso looked around. "I swear I don't know that woman." He spoke.

"But she's waving a foam finger with your name on it." Kichiro Fukushiro said.

Shinso tried to hide a blush.

"And now she's holding up a sign with your picture on it that says: 'My son's gonna kick your ass!'."

"Fine." He sighed. "That's mama Joke."

"Wait, wait, wait." Lazuli said. "Your mom is Miss Joke?"

"Yup."

"Next thing you'll be telling us is that Aizawa is your dad."

"Dadzawa and Mama Joke." He said as he left the stands.

"Wait, what the shit!"

Shinso got in the Elevator and met Kuzco.

"Hey." Kuzco said.

"Yeah?"

"You should just give up now, because once I break out my moves, there won't be anything you can do about it."

"Oh no." Shinso said in mock fear. "Please don't hurt me."

"Then just walk out of the ring when the match starts."

"Yeah. Sure. I'll just walk out of the ring once the match starts."

"Good." Kuzco said.

Shinso walked to his preparation room and sat down. He cleared his mind and was just about to relax when his phone chimed.

Dadzawa: Don't die.

Shinso: I thought you weren't supposed to show favoritism.

Dadzawa: I'm not.

Shinso put his phone away and took a breath. Fifteen minutes past and Present Mic began announcing. "Will Hitoshi Shinso and Akio Kuzco come to the Arena?"

Shinso left his preparation room and saw Kuzco. Kuzco points at his eyes before pointing at Shinso.

They walked to their ends of the arena.

"Now put your hands together for this student! He's in General Education, but he's gunning for a spot in the Hero Course! It's Hitoshi Shinso!"

The crowd applauded loudly as Shinso walked out to the Arena.

"And on this side!" Mic yelled. "We've got Akio Kuzco!"

A red and black Llama ran onto the Arena before it changed into Akio Kuzco. "BOOM BAM BABY!" He called out.

The Arena was filled with cheers, but the loudest was Kuzco's family.

"All right." Midnight said. "Are you ready?"

"I was born ready." Kuzco said.

Shinso just nods.

"Begin!"

Kuzco went to run at Shinso, but Shinso stopped him.

"So, you just want me to walk out of the Arena?" He asked.

"Yeah." Kuzco said. "If you don't..." Kuzco went stiff and dropped his arms to his sides.

"Walk out of bounds." Shinso commanded.

Kuzco turned around and walked out of the Arena no matter how loud his family yelled at him.

"YES! SHINSO!" Miss Joke yelled. "YOU DID IT! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!"

"Well!" Present Mic yelled. "I wish that fight had been more interesting. Maybe the next match will be more interesting."

It wasn't.

Shoto blasted Momo out of the ring with an ice round as a beanbag flew past his head close enough to brush past his face. He touched his face with his hand, and almost shook with how close that had come.

"Well, well, well!" Present Mic yelled. "We had an old-fashioned shootout. That's probably been the most entertaining match we've had so far, but still not what we were hoping for. Will the next match be more entertaining?"

The answer was no... Shun Gear ran over to Iida, pushed him out of the Arena, and ran back to the other side of the Arena in the blink of an eye.

"WHAT HAPPENED!" Present Mic yelled. "ONE SECOND YOUNG IIDA WAS STANDING ON HIS SIDE OF THE ARENA AND THE NEXT HE'S OUT OF BOUNDS!"

"It just means that we have a lot of prospective Heroes." Aizawa said.

"But that's not what the listeners want to see! They want to see fights!"

"You do realize that an actual fight only lasts a few seconds if not minutes at most right Sensei?" Anna asked.

"She's right, Mic." Aizawa added. "In a real fight either you or your opponent will be out of it in a few seconds, very few fights last longer than a few minutes."

"But the listeners." Mic whined.

"If you want a good fight." Anna chimed in. "Just wait until Jason and Izuku get into the ring. Then you'll have a fight on your hands."

"Martin." Aizawa scolded. "How many times have I told you not to show favoritism?"

"But I really wasn't this time." Anna whined. "If the crowd wants to see a fight, then show them Izuku and Jason sparring. They won't be bored after that."

Nezu got an idea, an awful idea. Nezu got a wonderful, awful idea. "That's what I'll do,' Nezu laughed in his throat. "I'll hack the computer and make it so that if Young Haywood and Young Midoriya get to the finals that they will fight each other." He left the stadium laughing and making everyone else give him a wide berth.

"Our next fight is... oh no...I mean! Our next fight is... Hatsumé Mei Vs. Rio Busujima!"

The crowd went wild as the prospect of an epic fight was dangled in front of them.

The teachers all groaned at the prospect of the upcoming destruction of the Arena and the school.

The crowd was disappointed, and the teachers all let out a collective sigh of relief when Mei looked up into the crowd and saw the support moguls and turned it into a sales pitch.

Rio was confused when she activated her Quirk and she saw Mei ask her if she could use their match to show off her babies, and then she would walk out of bounds. She wanted to see where it went, so she stood at the ready with her wooden Katana in one hand, and her wooden Wakizashi in a reverse grip in her other hand.

Mei stole control of the mic and went through the entire match showing off her babies, and what they could do.

There was a clang that echoed through the stadium when Power Loader facepalm when Mei ended her pitch with..."... and remember. We're Hatsumé Industries, where everything doubles as a bomb. That motto is patent pending. "She said before walking out of bounds.

*Yawn* "Excuse me!" Present Mic yelled. "Sorry folks, but that match wasn't very entertaining. Let's hope the next match is better. Let's hear it for Ochako Uraraka Vs. Fumikage Tokoyami."

"Wish me luck." Ochako waved at Izuku.

Johnny nudged Izuku with his elbow.

"Uh, uh, um... good luck Uraraka-Chan."

"Good luck Tokoyami." Class 1A said. "Good luck Uraraka."

Tokoyami and Uraraka walked to their preparation rooms and waited.

"We can't let Uraraka get close to us." Dark Shadow told Tokoyami.

"Yes. That would be a mad banquet of darkness if she were able to use her Quirk on us."

"Let me charge her and push her over the edge."

"That does seem to be the best option we have."

"Let's go."

Ochako was sitting in her preparation room trying to figure out how to beat Tokoyami. She looked around the room and saw something that might help her. Hopefully whoever left it wouldn't mind her borrowing it. She put it in her pocket and waited for Present Mic to call them out.

"Will Ochako Uraraka and Fumikage Tokoyami please come to the arena?!"

Ochako and Tokoyami made their way to their sides of the Arena.

"He's the guy you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley, but his friend is a pretty nice guy. Put your hands together for Fumikage Tokoyami!"

The crowd applauded as Tokoyami walked out onto the field.

"And you've heard of being thrown into the sun? Well, she can actually do it! Let's hear it for Ochako Uraraka!"

The crowd applauded for Ochako as she walked out onto her side of the field.

"Are you ready?" Midnight asked.

"Yes." Tokoyami said.

"Yes." Ochako said, pulling something out of her pocket.

"Begin!"

Ochako ran to the side and opened the compact mirror and aimed it at the sun before aiming it at Dark Shadow.

Dark Shadow launched himself at Ochako and was almost there when something bright hit him square in the eye. "AAHHH!" He roared in pain as sunlight hit him in the face, blinding him, and sending him flying around the arena.

"DARK SHADOW!" Tokoyami yelled.

Ochako ran at Tokoyami and tried touching him with all five finger pads, but he smacked her hand away and threw a punch.

Ochako grabbed his arm and spun Tokoyami hoping this was how Deku threw Bakugo.

It wasn't.

"AAHHH!" Tokoyami yelled as Ochako dislocated his shoulder.

"I'M SORRY!" Ochako yelled. "I'M SO SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO THAT! I WAS TRYING TO THROW YOU OUT OF BOUNDS!"

Every Martial Arts Hero cringed when they heard that. She needed to learn how to fight so that she didn't do that again. They all decided right then and there that they were going to offer her a chance to intern with them.

"Tokoyami?" Midnight asked. "Can you continue fighting?"

Tokoyami grabbed his arm and felt around until he felt the ball connect with the socket. He pushed it back in and yelled out in pain again. He was panting heavily when Midnight asked again.

"Tokoyami? Can you continue."

Tokoyami rolled his arm with obvious discomfort, but he nodded. "I think I can."

"Then continue."

Ochako pushed at Tokoyami and pushed him out of bounds.

Tokoyami fell over the edge and landed on his bad arm and grunted out in pain.

"SORRY!" Ochako yelled. "SORRY."

"And young Ochako wins!" Present Mic yelled.

Ochako walked back to her seat, and everyone gave her a wide berth.

She walked up to Izuku and his friends. "What did I do wrong Deku? You threw Bakugo like that. Where did I go wrong?"

"Um, you um, your mistake was trying to throw someone bigger than you when they were planted firmly. I threw Bakugo when he was off balance."

"Oh. I didn't mean to hurt Tokoyami."

"Maybe you should join us when we train." Jason suggested. "We'll show you how to fight properly."

"Okay." Ochako said.

"One other thing."

"Yes?"

"Don't ever try and do something that you've seen someone else do again. Chances are they have training in that, and if you don't have proper training then that means that you'll end up hurting people you don't mean to hurt."

"Okay." Ochako said. "I really didn't mean to hurt Tokoyami."

"We know." Izuku said. "But it's going to take a while for others to understand that."

"Well!" Present Mic yelled. "That was intense. Don't worry about Young Tokoyami. Recovery Girl will have him back up in no time. Moving onto the next match..."

The bracket appeared showing:

Round 1

Jason Haywood Vs. Eijiro Kirishima

Round 2

Izuku Midoriya Vs. Hitoshi Shinso

Round 3

Shoto Himura Vs. Shun Gear

Round 4

Rio Busujima Vs. Ochako Uraraka

"... next up its Jason Haywood Vs. Eijiro Kirishima!"

Jason and Kirishima looked at each other and nodded at each other. They walked to the elevator and entered.

"So." Jason said. "How do you want to do this?"

"What do you mean?"

"How do you want to fight?"

"Come at me with everything you've got." Kirishima said.

"All right." Jason Said. "See you in the arena."

"See ya."

Jason went to his preparation room and lay on the couch.

Kirishima went into his preparation room and looked in the mirror. "Holy Crap!" He yelled. "I'm going up against Jason! What the hell! What the hell! What the hell! It's like going up against Momo and Bakugo at the same time! How am I going to beat him!"

"Will Jason Haywood and Eijiro Kirishima come to the arena!?"

Jason and Kirishima left their preparation rooms and walked to the arena.

"He's the class 1A President! He's the guy who is always ready for a fight! It's Jason HAYWOOOOOOOOOOD!"

The crowd erupted into applause as Jason walked onto the field.

"And in the other corner! He's tough! He's got abs of stone! He's the man! It's Eijiro KIRISHIMAAAAAAAAAA!"

The crowd applauded and cheered.

"Are you two ready?" Midnight asked.

"Yes!" They yelled in unison.

"Begin!"

Kirishima hardened his arms and ran at Jason.

Jason ran at Kirishima and formed his armor around him. The two met in the middle of the arena and their fists connected with a spark of superheated metal against stone.

The crowd erupted in cheers.

"NOW THIS IS A FIGHT!" Present Mic yelled.

Jason swiped Kirishima's legs out from under him, grabbed his leg with a superheated hand and slammed him into the ground. He kicked Kirishima and created a superheated wall that Kirishima bounced off and into Jason's fist as Jason punched him into the ground.

Kirishima staggered to his feet. 'Holy Crap!' He thought. 'If this is Jason going all out, then I'm stronger than I thought.'

"Are you ready for me to go all out?" Jason asked.

'Oh shit.' Kirishima thought. "Yeah. Bring it." He said pulling his arms up and hardening them.

Jason bulked up to his twelve foot height and Kirishima stared up at him in amazement and horror.

The crowd wasn't sure how to take this turn of events, so they cheered their heads off.

"LOOK AT THAT!" Present Mic yelled. "JASON HAYWOOD HAS JUST TAKEN THIS FIGHT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!"

"That's Jason." Anna said.

"Dude." Kirishima said. "That's AWESOME! When did that happen?"

"Last month." Jason said. "Some ass hole forced a Quirk Enhancement on me."

"Dude! That's not cool!"

"No. It wasn't."

"Then why do you use it?"

"Because. I'm going to use this form to break the asshat who did this to me."

That actually made sense. "Then I'll give you the best fight you've ever had."

"Bring it!"

Kirishima ran at Jason and jumped at him. Jason grabbed Kirishima's arm in one massive hand and tossed him out of bounds.

Kirishima jumped up and looked at Jason. "That was an awesome fight! Want to go again after the sports festival?"

"Sure." Jason said coming down from his muscle form and walked towards Kirishima. He held a hand towards him and helped him up.

"Look at that!" Mic yelled. "Let's hear it for them, and for the best fight we've had so far!"

The crowd cheered and applauded for Jason and Kirishima.

Jason helped Kirishima walk towards Recovery Girls office. When they walked in, he was met with an irate Recovery Girl who was yelling at him.

"What were you thinking!" She yelled.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"You beat Young Kirishima within an inch of his life!"

"Oh. That."

"Yes, that! What do you have to say for yourself!?"

"Uh... he asked for it?"

Recovery Girl raised her cane to hit Jason, but Kirishima jumped in front of him.

"He's not exactly lying, but he should have worded it better!"

"Why did you ask him to beat you up?"

"I didn't tell him to beat me up, I told him to come at me with everything he's got."

Recovery Girl could feel a headache coming on and rubbed her head. She looked at Jason before looking at Kirishima. "And you didn't think it was a good idea to tap out when he grew to twelve feet in height?"

"No, not really. I just wanted a good fight."

"Testosterone!" She scoffed. "That's what it is. There's no self-preservation among any of the males in class 1A or 1B."

"No." Jason replied.

Recovery Girl hit him in the head with her cane. "You weren't supposed to confirm that." She scolded.

"Sorry."

"Uh huh. Now get out of here so I can heal Young Kirishima."

"Ciao." Jason said, waving a two fingered salute at Kirishima.

Once Jason left, Kirishima sagged onto a bed. "Ow!" He exclaimed.

"Serves you right. What did you think you were doing out there?"

"I wanted to see how I stacked up against Jason."

"The answer... You don't."

"Not yet."

Recovery Girl hit him with her cane. "Don't joke like that!" She yelled.

"Ow!"

"Quit whining! Now go lay down!"

Kirishima walked over to a bed and laid down. He looked up at the ceiling. He wondered how strong he'd have to get to reach Jason's level.

Jason ran out to the rest of Class 1A just in time to see Izuku and Shinso walk onto their respective sides of the arena.

"He May look like a pushover, but he's really not! Let's hear it for Midoriya Izuku!"

The crowd cheered as he walked onto his side of the field.

"IZUKU!" Hisashi cheered. "YOU'VE GOT THIS SON!" He blasted a gout of fire into the air.

"Excuse me sir." An usher said. "Please, don't use your Quirk in the stadium."

"Oh. Sorry." He apologized.

"Just don't do it again."

"IZUKU!" Inko cheered. "COME ON BABY! YOU'LL DO GREAT! YOU CAN DO IT."

Izuku looked into the stands when he heard a familiar voice cheering him on and saw a gout of flame. "D-dad?" He asked as tears filled his eyes.

"And in this corner!" Mic yelled. "He's the one Heroics is watching for potential! He's the one who has been making waves! He's going to leave a message! It's Shinso Hitoshi!"

The crowd applauded, but they were drowned out by a single voice.

"SHINSO!" Miss Joke cheered. YOU'VE GOT THIS SHINSO! WE'RE CHEERING FOR YOU!"

"Is that your mom?" Izuku asked.

"Yeah." Shinso sighed. "That's Mama Joke."

"Wait! Your mom is Miss Joke?!"

"Yeah."

"WHAT!"

"What?" Shinso asked.

"Your mom is Miss Joke, is your dad Aizawa sensei?"

"Yeah. Wh..."

"This makes so much sense!"

"What do you mean?"

"You look like Aizawa Sensei, does that mean that you have a voice based Quirk?"

Emi laughed so loud that Aizawa heard her in the announcer's booth. 'Damn it, problem child.' He thought. 'Joke's not going to let me hear the end of this.' He looked at the stadium as Shinso looked startled.

Midnight was laughing so hard that she couldn't start the match.

"WHAT!?" Shinso asked. "No! They aren't my biological parents! They are my adoptive parents!"

"OH! Sorry! I didn't mean to..."

"Just walk out of the ring!" Shinso yelled.

Izuku dropped his hands to his sides, turned around, and began walking out of the Arena.

"NO!" Inko yelled. "IZUKU! TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND IZUKU!"

"IZUKU!" Raven yelled.

"IZUKU! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Barton and Clara yelled.

"IZUKU!" Agnarr yelled. "TURN BACK!"

"TURN AROUND!" Iduna yelled. "IZUKU! TURN AROUND!"

"IZUKU!" Jason Blood yelled. "USE WHAT I'VE TAUGHT YOU! YOU CAN GET OUT OF IT!"

"IZUKU!" Hisashi yelled.

Something inside Izuku snapped, and he let out a gout of fire that knocked him off balance just as he was about to step out of bounds. He landed on his side... hard. He snapped out of Shinso's control and rolled to his feet.

"Oh shit." Shinso said.

Izuku ran at Shinso, grabbed his arm and flipped him before slamming him into the ground hard enough to make him see stars.

"I'm sorry." Izuku said. "But I have my reasons for winning too." He pulled Shinso by his arm and threw him out of bounds.

"And Izuku Midoriya wins!" Present Mic yelled.

"YES!" Inko cheered. "YES! I knew you could do it baby! Yes!"

"Great job son!" Hizashi cheered.

The other parents cheered for him, and he walked over to Shinso.

"Good job." He offered his hand to tell him up.

"Not good enough." Shinso said, taking Izuku's offered hand. "I don't know if I did good enough to leave an impression."

"You did." Izuku said. "I know you did."

"How can you be sure?"

"Because. If I know Aizawa Sensei, you've made an impression."

"He's my adoptive dad. It's a conflict of interest."

"Don't worry about it. Aizawa Sensei can see potential, and I'm sure he can see the potential in you. Although he'll probably chew you out for not using your Quirk to its full potential."

"But... I was."

Izuku looked at Shinso and laughed. "That's a good one. Miss Joke is rubbing off on you." He said as he went to the Class 1A seats.

Shinso stood in the walkway confused. "I wasn't joking." He said to no one in particular.

"Next up is Shoto Himura Vs. Shun Gear!"

"SHOTO!" The Himura's shouted.

"You've got this!" Fuyumi cheered.

"You can do it!" Natsuo cheered.

"Come on Shoto!" Rei cheered. "You can do it!"

"Shoto!" Touya cheered, shooting blue fire into the air.

"SIR!" An usher said. "Please stop using your Quirk! I know it's exciting, but someone could get hurt if you're not careful!"

"Fine, Fine." Touya said. "I'll be more careful."

"Thank you, sir. Is that your son in the arena?"

"ACK!" Touya yelled. "No! That is my youngest brother!"

"Oh... wait! You're Touya Todoroki!"

"Who?"

"Touya Todoroki! Endeavor's kid!"

"No, no. I'm Touya Himura."

"Huh? But... you're Endeavor's oldest, right?"

"Why would I want to answer that if I were? From what I heard the guy was an ass hole."

"No. I'm pretty sure I saw you exiting the courthouse calling Endeavor a bastard."

"Listen. You better run if you know what's good for you."

"You aren't allowed to use Quirks here."

"I've shown that I don't give a fuck about the rules. Now leave before I burn you to a crisp!"

"Fine, Fine. I'll leave." The usher said leaving.

"Finally." Touya said.

"Next is the kid who's faster than fast, quicker than quick, and his opponent better watch out cause when he gets going, he has no speed limit!"

Mic was wrong as Shoto froze the floor and Gear spun out of control, and out of bounds.

"I thought that was going to take longer." Mic said.

"It just goes to show you that you shouldn't underestimate people because as you saw, a quick layer of Ice beat a quick hero in training." Anna said.

"She has a point, Mic." Aizawa added.

"But... I was just trying to liven things up."

"Way to go Shoto!" His family cheered.

Natsuo stuck his head into his Pocket and out of Shoto's. "That was pretty kick ass Shoto. Good luck in the next round!"

"Thanks, I guess?" Shoto asked.

"You're Welcome. Don't forget that we're rooting for you." Natsuo said before disappearing into his pocket.

Shoto walked back into the stands and waited for his next fight. It looked like he was going to be fighting Jason next. He didn't know if he'd be able to beat him."

"Next up is Rio Busujima Vs. Ochako Uraraka!" Mic yelled. "Will Rio Busujima and Ochako Uraraka please report to their respective Prep rooms?"

"Good luck Uraraka-Chan." Izuku said.

"Thanks Deku." Ochako said before she waved at the rest of the class.

She met Rio on the way down.

"Good luck." Rio said.

"Same to you." Ochako said.

They walked into their prep rooms and Ochako looked into the mirror. She could do this... right? She knew that Rio had some kind of Quirk that allowed her to glimpse the future, but that was it. How did she beat someone who knew what she was going to do before she did?

How would Deku fight her?

He would wait until she used her Quirk, and then do the opposite of what she expected him to do, but by doing the opposite that would mean that she was going to see that which means that she should do her original idea... right? Unless she did the opposite then did the opposite of the opposite... her brain hurt.

Rio walked into her prep room and waited. She didn't want to suffer from a dislocated shoulder, which meant that she needed to keep Ochako at a distance, and with her Quirk she was able to see what Ochako did before she did it... unless Ochako was one of those people who tried to overthink her Quirk. Then she wouldn't be able to use it leaving her virtually Quirkless with hand to hand and weapons combat training. She paced around and waited for Present Mic to call her and Ochako out to the arena.

"Will Ochako Uraraka and Rio Busujima please report to the arena?" Present Mic called.

"Speak of the devil." She spoke.

Ochako and Rio walked out to the arena.

"She'll float you to the sun if she gets her hands on you. It's Ochako Urrrrarakaaaaa!"

The crowd cheered as Ochako walked into the arena.

"There's nothing you can do if she knows what you're going to do before you do! It's Rioooo Busujimaaaaa!"

Rio walked onto her side of the field looking straight ahead. "I hope you won't be offended if I try to keep you at a distance." She told Ochako. "I like my shoulders where they are."

"I wasn't trying to hurt Tokoyami!" Ochako spluttered, waving her hands. "Just throw him out of bounds with a move I saw one of my classmates use!"

Rio pinched the bridge of her nose.

"My classmates with actual fighting backgrounds told me not to do something like that again unless I have actual training." Ochako chuckled nervously. "They even invited me to learn how to fight by joining them in the afternoons after school, and during training hours."

"Good."

Are you ready?" Midnight asked.

"Yes." The girls said in unison.

"Fight!"

Ochako ran at Rio before getting ready to jump only to be hit with Rio's Katana. She grabbed it and touched all five pads on her fingers to the Katana and threw it in the air.

Rio drew her Wakizashi and swung it at Ochako... her future sight ended, and she knew what was about to happen. She grabbed her Katana and Wakizashi and ran at Ochako.

Ochako rolled out of the way and swiped at Rio's foot only to miss with her pinky finger.

Rio pulled her foot out of the way and backpedaled. How had Ochako tricked her like that? "Hey!" She yelled. "How did you do that?"

"I waited for you to come at me, and then decided on which plan to use, and then used the other plan."

Midnight and Rio looked confused. "What?" They asked in confusion.

"It makes sense!" Ochako yelled before running at Rio. She swiped at her only for Rio to hit her hand with her Katana. "OW! She complained, shaking her hand.

Rio took advantage of the situation and swung at Ochako, sending her on the defensive.

Ochako rolled out of the way and grabbed Rio's ankle touching it with all five finger pads.

Rio began floating, with Ochako being the only thing to keep her in the Arena.

Ochako got up and smiled. "I did it! Now I can move on!"

"Don't jump the fence before you've built it!" Rio yelled, dropping her Katana and Wakizashi and grabbing her Odachi. She swung her Odachi and hit Ochako in the temple with the back of her Odachi.

Ochako fell to the floor dragging Rio with her, and lost consciousness.

Jason watched Ochako with a pit in his stomach. "No." He spoke. "No, no, no."

"What's wrong Jason?" Rogue asked.

Jason began doing some quick calculations. "Ochako needs to get to Recovery Girl now." He said urgently.

"Why?" Izuku asked.

"The amount of force that Rio's Odachi had when it hit could lead to bleeding in the brain."

"What!" They all said.

"OCHAKO URARAKA IS UNABLE TO KEEP FIGHTING!" Present Mic yelled. "RIO BUSUJIMA WINS!"

The crowd erupted as Ochako was carried off the field.

"It's time for the next match!" Present Mic yelled. "Will Izuku Midoriya and Rio..." Present Mic was cut off as the screen showed Izuku Midoriya Vs. Shoto Himura, but the names said Izuku Midoriya Vs. Rio Busujima. "Umm..."

"THAT'S RIGHT!" Anna yelled. "IT'S BROCCOLI VS. CANDY CANE! YOU KNOW WHO I'M ROOTING FOR!... GO SHOTO!"

"HEY!" Izuku yelled from the stands.

"SORRY IZUKU!" Anna apologized. "YOU KNOW I'M ROOTING FOR YOU TOO!"

Meanwhile

Nezu sat in his seat sipping tea and smiled. He flashed back to lunch when he may have changed the pictures of who would be fighting in the semifinals so Midoriya and Himura could fight. There seemed to be something that needed to be done between the two, and he wanted to give them the chance to solve whatever problems they had.

He smiled when he remembered the pure mischievous delight he saw on Anna's face when he told her and asked for her help in the matter. This was going to be good.

"Uhh... folks. We're going to have an intermission before the semifinals. So go get some snacks and drinks, stretch your legs, answer the call of nature if you have to, just make sure to be back here in 15 minutes so we can watch these two powerhouses go at it!"

The crowd stood up and went their separate ways for the break.

Jason and Izuku with their friends went to the Infirmary to check on Ochako. When they arrived, they heard someone crying from the other side.

"I'm sorry dad." They heard Ochako sob. "I failed you guys."

"Ochako." A male voice said. "How could you think that? I am so proud of you."

"But I lost."

"You made it to the third round of the Sports Festival. I don't think that's a failure. You're one of sixteen students, out of your entire year, who made it to the third event. I couldn't be prouder."

"Your father's right, Ochako." A woman's voice said. "You did an amazing job, and you'll do better next year."

"Izuku." Jason Whispered. "Run into the Infirmary as if we didn't just hear this. Run back that way then come back and run in so you look like you ran all the way here."

Izuku nodded and ran back two hundred feet before he came running back and ran into the infirmary. "URARAKA!" He yelled, running in.

Jason and the others followed Izuku's example and ran in.

"Oh." Jason said. "We're sorry for intruding on such a private moment. We'll just go now."

"No, no." Mr. Uraraka said. "Please, stay."

"Are you okay Uraraka-Chan?" Izuku asked.

"Yeah. Sorry Deku-Kun. I wanted to go on to the next round, but I..."

"No!" Izuku yelled. "You did great! You shouldn't think that you didn't."

"He's right." Jason said. "You did good. Considering that she has combat training, you really did do good, but it's good that you got knocked out. Getting hit in the temple is not a good thing. It could cause bleeding into your brain."

"That's not good." Ochako said.

"No, it's not dearie." Recovery Girl said. "Head wounds are never good."

"Will Izuku Midoriya and Shoto Himura please report to the arena!" Present Mic yelled.

"I've got to go!" Izuku said.

"Good Luck." Ochako said.

"Do you want to go watch his fight?" Rogue asked.

Ochako looked at Recovery Girl.

"You can go, but if you start feeling lightheaded, confused, nauseous, or sick, have one of your friends bring you back here."

"I will. Thank you." Ochako said getting off the bed. She ran to her parents and hugged them before bowing to Recovery girl.

The group ran towards the seats and got back to their seats at the same time Himura shot out his first glacier.

AN:

OMAKE: "All right!" Present Mic yelled. "Who's ready to watch these kids RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!?"

"I'm ready to watch Jason and Izuku take this tournament by storm." Anna said.

"Martin." Aizawa scolded.

"Oh, come on Aizawa Sensei." Anna Whined. "You've seen Jason and Izuku fight. You know who's really going to win."

"There is always a chance that another student could win."

"I actually calculated the odds of anyone other than Jason and Izuku winning."

"Keep it to yourself."

"What? You don't want to know that..." *Click.*

"Young Martin. How did you even get that chalk board in here? We don't even use chalk boards anymore."

"Don't encourage her Mic." Aizawa said.

"Martin? Is that Multi Colored chalk?"

"Yup." Anna smiled and nodded. "Fruit scented too. Smell it."

Mic took a stick of chalk and took a sniff. "Mm. Cherry."

"Mic! Martin!" Aizawa scolded. "We're supposed to be commentating on the sports Festival!"

"Wait!" Mic yelled. "Smell this Chalk Eraser! She's even got Watermelon scented Chalk!"

"We're supposed to be Commentating on the Sports Festival, not smelling chalk!"

"But it smells so good!" Mic pleaded.

"Please excuse us as we are currently experiencing technical difficulties." Aizawa said. "We thank you in advance for your patience."

The Microphones were turned off as Aizawa looked at Anna and Mic.

"Guava scented chalk?" Anna asked, holding out a pale yellow stick of chalk.

"Shota!" Mic yelled. "I'm getting a chalkboard, just so I can buy scented chalk!"

"Mic!" Aizawa wiped his face. "You are an embarrassment."

"Martin!" Mic exclaimed. "Where did you get this chalkboard and chalk!"

"I found the Chalkboard, but I bought the Chalk online at !"

"That sounds like a questionable website." Aizawa said. "Does your parents know about it?"

"My dad's the one who showed it to me." Anna said. "He buys scented markers and paints there."

"SCENTED PAINT!" Mic yelled.

"Yep." Anna said, popping the P. "My room is painted in cotton candy scented pain. Elsa's is Painted in Lavender. I think it's because she needs to chill."

Mic laughed while Aizawa groaned at the terrible pun.

Mic grabs a pen and writes on his hand. "Guess who's room is going to smell like apples?" He asked in a singsong voice.

"Why are you like this?" Aizawa asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Shota!" Mic whisper yelled. "Shota! They have coffee scented paint!" He sent a screenshot to Shota and Emi.

"I'm listening." Aizawa said suddenly very interested

In the stands.

Emi Fukukado's phone exclaimed: "HEEYYY!" In Mic's voice. She looked at it and saw a picture. She went to the website and looked around. "Ooh. Coffee cake. I wonder what other scents they have?"

Back in the Announcers box.

"Um… Sensei's?" Anna asked. "Aren't we supposed to be commentating?"

Mic ran to the microphone. "HEY THERE LISTENERS!" He yelled into the microphone.

"You need to turn it on sensei." Anna said.

Meanwhile

Nezu was in his office laughing at Mic, Aizawa, and young Martin's antics. He thought that they would have to be the Announcers every year from now on. He scrolled through the website and bought several gallons of tea scented paint. A diabolical smile spread across his face. Did he dare? He added one of every paint to his cart and checked out.

Chapter Text

AN: Beta Read by Brawn1984 and Starrmastrr.

AN: I do not own the Characters other than the OC's used in this fic.

AN: Sorry for the evil cliffhanger a few weeks ago. Enjoy.

"And we're back from the break!" Present Mic yelled. "I hope you all stretched, got some snacks and Drinks, and are ready for an exciting finale! Cause with only the Semifinals and the finals this promises to be an epic finish!"

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause.

"The next match is Izuku Midoriya Vs. Shoto Himura!"

The crowd cheered as Izuku and Shoto walked onto the field.

"I won't use my fire." Shoto said.

"Fine." Izuku said, walking back to his side of the field.

"Are you ready?" Midnight asked.

"Yes." Izuku said.

Shoto nodded.

"Begin!"

Shoto launched a glacier at Izuku hoping to knock him out of bounds.

The glacier shot out of the arena and Shoto turned to leave the arena.

"HEY HIMURA!" Izuku shouted.

Shoto turned around and saw Izuku standing to the side of the glacier, about to fall out of the arena.

"YOU MISSED!"

"And it looks like Young Midoriya has thrown down the gauntlet!" Mic shouted.

Shoto shot an ice ball at Izuku who flicked it away with ease.

Izuku punched the glacier, shattering it so he had space to move. He ran and stared Shoto down. "I told you that I was going to give you the fight that you gave me!"

"You don't get it!" Shoto shouted. "I can't use my fire! Otherwise, people will only see me as Endeavor's son and not as the Hero I want to be!"

"Do you even WANT to be a Hero!"

That caused Shoto to stop. Did he want to be a Hero? It's what his father had wanted, but was it what HE wanted? "I... I... I don't know."

"Then you better figure that out! Because everyone here is putting their all into showing what they're capable of, and all you can do is complain about your kick ass Quirk! I didn't even have a Quirk until the day of the Exam! I had to push myself harder than everyone to get where I am today, and you don't want to accept YOUR Quirk! It's not your dad's Quirk! It's YOURS!"

Shoto looked at Midoriya and was shocked. What was he going to do?

"Psst!" A voice hissed from beside him. He looked over and saw his family.

"It looked like you needed some encouragement." Touya said.

"So, we decided to give you the push you needed." Natsuo added.

"We believe in you Shoto." Fuyumi cheered.

Shoto looked at his mom and saw that she had tears running down her cheeks, but she was smiling. "Mom?" He asked.

"You can do whatever you want." She said, "If you want to be a Hero then be a Hero. If you don't want to be a Hero, then you don't have to be a Hero. Please don't hold yourself back because of me or your father. That's all I ask."

Shoto nodded and looked at Izuku. "You're going to regret not taking the easy win." He said.

"No." Izuku smiled. "I don't think I will."

The arena exploded in flame as Shoto's left side became consumed in his fire. He threw a fireball at Midoriya only to have it blasted out of the way and a second shockwave that shattered his glacier.

Izuku pushed One for All to his limits and shot off towards Shoto. He stopped and transferred his momentum into a kick and kicked out at Shoto who barely ducked the kick and rolled out of the way and to his feet. He froze the Arena hoping it would make Midoriya slip, but Izuku grabbed him with the Black Tendrils he'd become adept in using.

Shoto coated both sides with his fire and ice, but it didn't seem to affect the tendrils.

Izuku pulled Shoto towards him before he tossed him towards the out of bounds.

Shoto rolled in midair and landed before stopping himself before he fell out of bounds. "Fine." He said. He slammed his foot on the arena floor and made walls grow around the edge of the Arena. "You want my fire!" He yelled at Izuku. "You can have it!" He made his fire as intense as he could until the telltale signs of a stream explosion could be heard.

"CALL THE FIGHT!" Cementos yelled while waving his arms.

Izuku looked at Shoto and Smiled before he raised his arm at Shoto and with a flick of his finger sent Shoto flying out of bounds.

The Arena exploded, and Izuku squatted before he propelled himself into the air with a One for All powered jump.

The sounds of explosions could be heard as Izuku kept himself aloft by flicking his fingers as releasing One for All blasts into the incoming explosion.

He dropped to the Arena floor when the explosion died down and looked at Shoto.

Shoto looked up at Midoriya. He'd lost, but for some reason it didn't seem to matter so much. He nodded at Midoriya in a sign of respect. Izuku returned the nod and walked over before reaching out a hand to help him up.

"Not yet." Shoto said. "They haven't ended the match yet."

Izuku looked up and saw that the Stadium was looking at them.

"IZUKU MIDORIYA WINNNNS!" Present Mic yelled.

Izuku grabbed Shoto and walked him to Recovery girl.

"Thanks." Shoto said. "For doing that. I don't know why you took a chance at losing the fight to help me, but..."

"Isn't that what being a Hero is all about? Helping people."

"I suppose so."

"But seriously. You need to take being a Hero seriously. If you don't take it seriously then you're only telling those of us who are trying our best that our best isn't good enough. Is that what you really want?"

"No. I just didn't want to be known as Endeavor's son or Endeavor's kid."

"I can't say that I understand, not fully at least, but your Quirk isn't your fathers. It's yours. Show people that your Quirk is yours."

"Okay."

They were met by the Himura's.

"Congratulations Shoto!" Fuyumi cheered and ran to hug him.

Shoto was caught off guard by this, but let Fuyumi hug him.

Natsuo walked up and clapped him on the back. "You did good."

Touya walked up and ruffled his hair. "Way to go kid brother."

Rei walked up and hugged him. "I'm so proud of you." She said,

"Thank you." Shoto said.

"We're going out tonight to celebrate." Touya said.

"Will Izuku Midoriya please come to the arena for the finals match?"

"That was fast." Izuku said. "Then again it is Jason we're talking about. See you later Himura." Izuku said before running to the arena.

The crowd cheered as Izuku and Shoto walked off the field, Inko and Hizashi being the loudest.

"YOU DID IT BABY!" Inko cheered.

"YES!" Hizashi cheered. "YOU DID IT SON!" He almost released a gout of fire into the sky but stopped himself at the last second.

"Way to go Izuku!" Agnarr and Iduna cheered.

"YEAH!" Barton cheered.

"You did it Izuku!" Clara cheered.

"That's how you do it!" Raven cheered.

"Well done, Izuku!" Jason Blood cheered.

His friends cheered for him from the students' seats.

"NEXT UP IS JASON TODD VS. RIO BUSUJIMA! Please report to your waiting rooms while Cementos repairs the Arena!"

Jason stood up but felt something in his gut.

"What's wrong?" Johnny asked.

"Something's wrong. I'm not sure what, but something is very wrong."

"What do you want us to do?"

"Johnny. You try to figure out what's wrong. Rogue. Come with me. Let's see if you can borrow Rio's Quirk. Then see if you can push it to see what's wrong."

"Right." Rogue said, getting up.

"Elsa. Contact the teachers. See if they can do something."

"Right." Elsa Said getting up to leave.

"What can we do dude?" Kirishima asked.

"Momo, is there anything you can do to try and detect anything wrong with the stadium?"

"Can you be more specific?"

"Any kind of threat. I'm not sure what it is, everything."

"No. I'm sorry."

"Damn it." Jason said.

"What?"

"I'm an idiot." He looked at his wrist computer and began looking at it. He checked for threats, but it was taking too long. He took it off and handed it to Momo. "Can you give Elsa an earpiece so she can communicate with you? The computer will do the work. Just tell Elsa what the computer says when it flashes red."

"O-Okay." Momo wasn't sure what was going on, but Jason seemed to think that something was wrong. Maybe it was nothing, but maybe something was wrong. She created two earpieces and handed one to Elsa.

With that Elsa went to find Nezu. She ran to a Camera and looked at it. "Nezu Sensei. I need to talk to you! It's about Jason!"

She only had to wait a moment before a panel opened and Nezu was motioning her to follow him. "This way young Martin." He said.

Elsa followed Nedzu and they appeared in his office.

"Now." Nedzu said. "What is this about young Martin?"

"Thanks Momo." Jason Said.

"You're Welcome." She said looking back at the computer.

Jason looked at Rogue and the two ran towards the waiting rooms. They stopped by the other waiting room and knocked.

Rio opened up. "Yes?" She asked.

"Can Rogue borrow your Quirk?" Jason asked.

"Why?"

"There's a problem and Rogue's going to try and figure out what it is. If she can borrow your Quirk."

"Is this a trick to take my Quirk for the fight?"

"Will Jason Todd and Rio Busujima report to the arena!" Present Mic announced.

"We're out of time, Rio. Please. I'm not trying to trick you."

"Fine. Tell me what I have to do."

"Shake my hand sugar." Rogue said, extending her hand.

Rio shook Rogue's hand and felt a momentary discomfort before Rogue let go. "Thanks. Don't worry, I didn't take your Quirk, just borrowed it. You'll still be able to use it. Now get goin'."

Jason and Rio walked towards the arena.

"Why did you need Rogue to use my Quirk?"

"I've got a bad feeling that the Festival is in trouble."

"What? Why? How?"

"I don't know. I'm trying to figure that out."

"I See."

"YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO BE ON THE RECEIVING END OF THIS LISTENERS TEMPER BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES HE HAVE A HOT QUIRK, BUT HE'S PROBABLY ALREADY FIGURED YOUR STRATEGY OUT, BUT WILL THAT HELP HIM OUT AGAINST A LISTENER WHO KNOWS WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO BEFORE HE DOES! Give it up for Jason Haywood and Rio Busujima!"

The crowd burst into applause as Jason and Rio walked onto the arena.

Jason created a pair of bat shaped daggers and stood in a fighting stance.

Rio drew her Odachi longsword and looked at Jason. She took a deep breath and waited.

"Fight!" Midnight yelled.

Jason ran towards Rio and spun around her before she could get her Odachi up to block him and slashed at her.

Rio spun and let her momentum help her swing her sword at Jason.

Jason blocked the wooden blade with his arm and punched at Rio who jumped back and swung up at Jason who blocked the blade and caught it in his blade before he reached forward and caught the blade in his other blade before reaching forward again.

Rio let go and Jason tossed the Odachi out of bounds. She grabbed her Wakizashi and Katana and held the Wakizashi in a reverse grip.

Jason let his blades disappear before he created a Katana and a Crowbar.

"IT APPEARS THAT THE FIRST ROUND GOES TO YOUNG HAYWOOD!" Mic yelled.

"As I predicted." Anna Said into her mic. "Jason and Izuku are going to face off in the finals!"

"It could be Busujima who faces off against Midoriya." Aizawa said.

" Sorry Aizawa Sensei, but I have to disagree. As you can clearly see from my chart... My very colorful chart... my very colorful and scented chart..."

"We get it Martin."

"Jason and Izuku are going to face off in the finals."

Jason let Rio determine the fight for now. Rio moved to the left, so Jason moved to the left. They circled each other until Rio lunged at Jason. Jason deflected with his Crowbar and swung at Rio who blocked with her Katana.

"You're Good." Jason said.

"This isn't even a warm up for me." Rio countered.

"Then how about we give them a show?"

"Think you can keep up?"

In response Jason put on a burst of strength and pushed Rio away before he created a pair of curved daggers and held the Katana out for Rio. She took it and waited for Jason to make his move.

Jason held the daggers in a reverse grip before he ran at Rio who blocked his first dagger but wasn't quick enough to block his second knife and he cut her uniform, leaving a tiny cut on her side.

Rio looked at her side and looked at him. "You are very skilled with daggers." She said,

"Yes, yes I am."

Rio swung her Katana at him again and again; he blocked with one dagger and left a small cut on her arm.

"We can keep doing this, but unless you change your strategy, I'm just going to keep cutting you until Cementos tells me to stop."

"How did you get so good?"

"Necessity." Jason replied. "I couldn't use Quirk for the first few years because of how dangerous it was. You ever see a kid with a fire Quirk throw a tantrum?"

"No."

"Then what about a kid with anger management issues?"

"Yeah."

"Combine the two, and that's what I was like. I needed to learn how to fight Quirkless."

"Oh. I see." Rio said before she swung the Katana up trying to throw Jason off his game, but Jason blocked again and cut her shoulder.

Rio's Quirk cut out. No matter what she did Jason always had a counter! Why?! Why was he able to counter her every move!? No! There had to be a way to beat him! She had a Quirk that let her get around peoples attacks and defenses! She could do this! She could win!

Jason watched as Rio ran at him and he could tell what she was going to do thanks to Bruce's training. He watched her and waited for her to attack. When she did, he sidestepped and tripped her out of bounds.

"HA!" Anna yelled from the announcers box. "I told you that it was going to be Jason Vs. Izuku in the finals!"

"Martin!" Aizawa scolded.

"Hopefully it will be better than this fight." Mic complained.

"Are you in for a treat?" Anna said.

"Will Izuku Midoriya please come to the arena for the finals match?"

They had to wait a few minutes before Izuku ran out to the arena.

"THERE HE IS FOLKS!" Present Mic yelled.

"Yup! It's Izuku Midoriya! Or as I like to call him..."

"Martin!"

"Finnnnne!" Anna whined.

"LET'S SEE WHAT KIND OF SHOW THESE TWO WILL GIVE US!" Mic yelled.

Jason and Izuku walked into the center of the Arena and looked at each other.

"We made it this far." Izuku said.

"Then let's show them what we're made of." Jason said, holding up a fist.

Izuku tapped Jason's fist with his own and they went back to their respective sides of their stadiums.

"Let's not use our Quirks." Jason said. "Only our Fighting abilities."

"Sounds Good." Izuku said.

"Fight!" Midnight yelled.

Jason and Izuku took a breath before they ran at each other. Jason kicked out at Izuku only for Izuku to dodge out of the way and spin around Jason.

Jason caught Izuku's arm and threw him over his shoulder before he curb stomped Izuku.

Izuku rolled out of the way of Jason's foot and spun trying to knock Jason to the floor, but Jason backflipped and vaulted back up before he brought his fists down on the spot Izuku had been, but Izuku brought his hand in for a clawing motion like Blood Sensei had taught him, but Jason rolled out of the way and threw a punch at Izuku who grabbed his arm and tossed him to the floor.

Jason relaxed and hit the floor before bouncing up and lashing out at Izuku and caught him on the face with a spin that sent him into a backflip.

Izuku landed in a kneeling position while Jason landed in a three point landing. They had both taken a few good blows.

Jason stood up and spit blood on the floor.

Izuku stood up and wiped his nose.

In the stands

Inko and the others were keeping Eri Distracted, as much for their benefit as it was hers.

Eri wasn't the least bit interested in the fight. Not when she had pictures to draw.

Back in the arena.

"So." Jason said. "What say we add in our respective speed to the fight?"

"All right." Izuku said activating One for All.

Jason let his legs bulk up enough so he could take advantage of his speed, but not his strength.

There was a flash and the two were at it again. They delivered a flurry of punches and kicks to each other, both trying to gain the upper hand. That didn't happen seeing as they kicked each other, sending each other to the edge of the arena.

Jason got up and brushed himself off before he looked at Izuku who was also brushing himself off.

They went in for another attack, but they ended up kicking each other in the face.

They staggered back and Jason spit out a tooth. He smiled to show that it had already grown back. "How about we go all out?" He asked.

"Will the Arena be standing when we're done?"

"Only one way to find out."

'One for All! 50%!'

' Efreeti! Hear my plea! I unbind your chains and set you free!'

Izuku was shrouded in green lightning while Jason burst into flames and went from an eight foot student to a twelve foot Djinn.

"HERE WE GO!" Anna and Present Mic yelled at the same time.

Jason and Izuku looked at each other. They circled each other and when they found a good moment to strike, they took it.

Jason and Izuku pushed off their respective sides of the arena, shattering it with the pressure they were able to produce.

"WHOA!" Present Mic yelled.

"Okay. I didn't know they could do that!" Anna yelled.

"Shota! What are you teaching those kids!"

"I Didn't teach them that. They came that way."

Jason and Izuku ran at each other and pulled back to deliver one final, devastating punch.

When they hit, the shockwave was so powerful that the arena shattered.

The safety measures put in by Nezu activated and the stands were surrounded by protective glass polymers to keep everyone safe.

Cementos created a bunker around himself and Midnight.

"TALK ABOUT AN EXPLOSIVE FINISH!" Mic yelled.

Everyone looked at the destroyed arena. Izuku was balanced on a piece of the arena while Jason was stuck in the wall.

"IZUKU MIDORIYA WINNNNNNNS!" Mic yelled.

Jason shrunk down before he fell out of the wall. He rolled to his feet and walked over to Izuku and held his fist out.

Izuku fist bumped Jason and was caught off guard when Jason lifted him in the air and grew to twelve feet to show everyone that there was no ill will between them.

"Look at that folks! Jason Haywood and Izuku Midoriya met in the arena as rivals and leave as brothers!"

"They already were brothers Mic Sensei."

"Then they left as friends!"

"They already were friends."

"They left the stadium."

"That works."

Jason and Izuku left the field for Recovery Girl's office, and Jason put Izuku down. "Good fight." Jason praised.

"You too. Too bad we couldn't go longer."

"Are you kidding? If we threw more than one punch, then the stadium would have been destroyed."

"Probably."

Elsa and Nedzu were in his office when something piqued Nezu's interest. "Hmm." He thought.

"What is it, Sensei?"

"It says that we're scheduled for an annual system update. Most unusual, most unusual."

"What's unusual about that?"

"Well for one thing, I'm the one who updates the systems. Secondly... Do you know of anyone who uses a plumber's truck to do system Maintenance?"

"No. What should we do?"

"I'll send a message to the teachers and Heroes to evacuate the school."

"What should I do?"

"For now..." Nedzu was interrupted as Someone said something into the Earpiece in Elsa's ear.

"It's for you." Elsa said, handing Nedzu the earpiece.

Jason, Izuku, Shoto, and Rio stood on the pillars that would raise them into the air for the award ceremony.

They didn't have to wait long as they were raised into the air. They were met by the thunderous applause of the crowd above.

They waved at the crowd as they rose into the air, and Jason looked around and saw that people were being ushered away. 'I guess they found something.' He thought.

"I AM HERE!" All Might bellowed. "To give these students their medals!"

The crowd ate it up.

"Young Himura. Young Busujima. Do not think of your losses as something to be ashamed of. Think of them as a stepping stone that will propel you into a win next year." All Might put a third place medal around each of their necks.

Jason's gut clenched with the feeling that something was very wrong.

"Young Haywood. You have shown great skill. This does not mean that you can take it easy. In fact, you might find it more difficult next year. Keep up the hard work and dedication to be a Hero." All Might place the second place medal around Jason's neck.

Tensei was in the stands when his phone vibrated. He took it out and looked at it. It was Nedzu. He answered the phone and placed it to his ear.

After a moment he leaned over and whispered something to his parents.

In unison the three Heroes sped away.

Barbara Allen was in the stands when her phone rang. She answered it, and within a moment she took off, speeding through the stadium to find out where she was sent to.

Touya's phone went off and he looked down before answering.

"Mom. Fuyumi. Go with Natsuo, get to Shoto."

"Where are you going?"

"Something came up." He said walking towards the school where Hawks was waiting.

Natsuo led his mom and sister into his pocket, and they appeared In Shoto's pocket. They waited until the ceremony was over and he pulled Shoto into his pocket.

"What's going on?" Shoto asked.

"Not sure, but Touya said that something was up, and to get to you as fast as we could. So, here we are."

"Okay." Was the only thing that Shoto could say.

Aizawa and Mic heard their phones vibrate and looked at them.

Aizawa began scanning the stadium for any sign of the threat.

Anna saw Mic and Aizawa Sensei start looking around the stadium as if they were looking for something. She knew that look all too well. Something was wrong, very wrong. She took out her phone and sent a group message to her friends.

Anna: Trouble.

Midnight's pager went off and she looked at it to see Nedzu Sensei was calling her. She looked at Cementos who was looking at his own pager. Something was wrong.

Emi Fukukado's phone rang, and she answered it. She grabbed Ichiro and Honoka by their hands and led them to the tunnels throughout UA and towards Principal Nezu's office.

All Might walked to Izuku. "Well done young Midoriya. You did an amazing job today. You all did, but reaching the top is only a part of the sports festival. Now, you have to keep the top spot. Train hard and try to reach the top again next year." He placed the first place medal around Izuku's neck.

Izuku looked up and smiled a watery smile.

"No tears young Midoriya. Enjoy the spotlight."

A reporter came up with their camera to get pictures of the group, and Jason's gut clenched with dread.

The reporter took their picture and as the bulb flashed, and Explosion rocked the stadium with a bone shaking *KA-BOOM!*

AN: Sorry for another Evil Cliffhanger. Enjoy.

Chapter 25: Check

Summary:

An attack at the Sports Festival leads to a kidnapping, and the students needing to step up.

Momo was surprised when Jason handed her his Wrist Computer and told her to be on the lookout for anything Dangerous. She had been looking for anything even remotely dangerous, and was caught off guard when the computer flashed red.

*Hazardous material detected* The computer screen flashed.

Momo pressed the talk button on the earpiece. "Elsa." She spoke. "I need to talk to Nedzu Sensei.

"It's for you." Elsa said on the other end.

"Nedzu Sensei." Momo said. "Jason's wrist computer says that there's Hazardous Material detected."

"Okay. Let me just check young Haywood's computer really quick."

"You can hack into Jason's wrist computer Nedzu Sensei?" Elsa asked.

"Oh yes. It's simply adorable that young Haywood thinks that his little program is unhackable."

"Oh. Okay."

"Oh my."

"What is it Nedzu Sensei?"

"I need to start evacuating the stadium." Nedzu said. "Momo. Please evacuate Class 1A. I will get the other classes to evacuate."

"Right." Momo Said. She took a deep breath and got up. "Let's Go." She said as she passed Class 1A.

"Where are we going?" Tsuyu asked.

"We're leaving the stadium." Momo explained. "Let's Go."

Nedzu and Elsa were in Nedzu Sensei's office while Nedzu found out where the warning was coming from.

"Young Haywood's Program is truly amazing." Nedzu complimented. "It may not be difficult to get into, but it really is an amazing program."

Nedzu made several texts to the Heroes and called Emi Fukukado.

"Young Fukukado." He spoke. "Please bring your charges to my office and escort them and Young Martin out of the Arena."

"Right." Emi's voice said over the phone.

Nedzu was about to activate the safeguards that would allow only one path to the exit that would change based on the dangers so everyone could get out when the stadium was rocked by an explosion. "Oh no." He said as he began typing faster. "Who was hurt? Who was hurt? This isn't good. No, no, not at all."

All Might stared at the reporter and into the stands where the explosion had just happened and down to Young Haywood who just fell to his knees in pain. "Young Haywood! What's wrong!?"

"So. Much. Pain." Jason grunted. The negative emotions were so strong that he could actually feel the pain.

"Young Haywood!"

"JASON!" Izuku yelled.

"Stay where you are." The reporter said calmly.

"And if we don't!" Izuku demanded.

The reporter pulled a remote from behind his back. "I'll blow up another section in the stadium." He said coldly.

Izuku took a step back in horror. This man wasn't kidding.

"What do you want Villain?!" All Might asked coldly.

"Jason Todd."

"Why?" Izuku asked.

"Because the man who hired me wants a word with him."

"And if I don't go?" Jason asked coldly.

The reporter pressed the remote again and an empty part of the Stadium exploded.

All Might readied himself to stop the Villain.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." The reporter said.

"And why not?"

"Because if you do then the rest of my team will kill the spectators they are being evacuated with."

"What! But there are Heroes from all over Japan in the stands! How!"

"You'd be surprised at how thorough my boss is."

"Why?" Izuku asked.

"Hey I'm in this for the money. The money was good, so I took the job."

"So, you're a Mercenary." All Might said.

"Yeah. I just go where the money is."

"What a diabolical profession."

"Eh. It pays the bills."

Jason was hit with another bout of pain that sent him to his knees, coughing. When he came up for air, he was bleeding from his mouth and nose.

"JASON!" Izuku yelled at the same time All Might yelled. "YOUNG HAYWOOD!"

"Come with me Mr. Todd."

"My name is Jason Haywood." Jason said.

The reporter nodded and hummed before he pressed the remote again causing another explosion in the stadium. "Don't try my patience again." He spoke. "Oh, and uh, drop your Utility Belt. Don't want you escaping now do we."

Jason dropped his Utility Belt and hoped that he'd worn it long enough for the trackers that Mei had coated it with had made their way onto him. "Fine. I'll come with you." He said putting his hands up.

"JASON NO!" Izuku yelled.

"Don't worry Midoriya. I'll be fine."

"Sorry to say that you probably won't be kid. Sorry, but my boss wants you out of the way."

"Because of course he does." Jason said, putting his hands up.

"That's good kid." The reporter said before putting a bubble around Jason. "Now. There's enough oxygen for you to breathe. If you use your Quirk, you'll run out of oxygen."

All Might and Izuku watched as Jason was taken away by the Villain.

"Oh..." the reporter said. "...here's a parting gift." He tossed the remote to the side showing a timer counting down from five minutes. "Good luck finding the rest of the bombs. You'll need it."

"Young Midoriya!" All Might yelled. "Get out of here! I'll find the explosives!"

"The search will go faster with two of us." Izuku countered.

"No. This is a job for the Pro's."

"Right." Izuku nodded and ran for an exit.

All Might pushed One for All to twenty percent and ran through the stadium looking for the explosives after he picked up the remote.

The reporter led Jason to a van and pushed him inside.

"Sorry, but my parents told me to never get into strange vehicles with strangers. Something about stranger danger. They also told me never to take candy from strangers either."

A hand reached into the bubble and ignited in flames burning away the oxygen.

Jason held his breath for as long as he could, but eventually passed out from lack of oxygen.

"Huh. Five minutes." The reporter said. "Impressive Mr. Todd. Truly impressive. Let's go."

"What's so impressive about that boss?"

"How many kids do you know who can hold their breath for five minutes?"

"Not many."

"That's why it's impressive." The reporter said.

The group git into their van and drove off.

"Do it." The leader said from the driver seat.

Each mercenary pulled out a remote and pulled the trigger.

Musutafu power Plant

A hidden explosive tacked onto the main reactor flashed white before an explosion caused it to explode.

Musutafu Water Plant

An explosive tacked onto the generator glowed white before exploding.

Musutafu Prison

Explosives tacked around the prison glowed white before exploding letting all the prisoners out into the streets.

Musutafu Police Station

Explosives tapped to the four corners of the police station glowed white before exploding causing the building to become structurally unsound.

Musutafu City Council

Explosives tacked to the chamber hall glowed white before exploding.

Musutafu sewage treatment center.

Explosives tacked onto the sewage pipes exploded causing raw sewage to flow freely.

UA, Nedzu's office.

Nedzu was working on his computer when his power went off. He waited a minute while the backup Generators came on and watched in horror as the power plant, water plant, prison, police station, city council, and sewage treatment center all shut down. "Oh no." He spoke. He made a critical decision consequences be damned.

Outside UA

Everyone was waiting outside UA not sure what they should do when they heard and felt explosions before watching the power go out.

The Heroes were about to jump into action when the P.A. Came on and Nedzu Sensei began speaking.

"Heroes and students. Please remain calm. As of right now you are the only ones Musutafu has to protect it. I realize that this is unorthodox, but I am giving all students permission to use their Quirks to get home safely and protect themselves and their families. Heroes. We need you to go to the Power Plant, Water Plant, Prison, Police Station, City Council, and Sewage Treatment Center. I am giving the students temporary Sidekick status until the crisis is over, so long as they have a Hero who is willing to work with them. Please, save our city."

The Heroes looked at each other before looking around at the students.

Mei ran over to Johnny. "Johnny! You said that your dad was a technopath right?"

"I don't remember saying it around you, but yeah."

"Great! Come with me."

Johnny and his parents followed Mei through the school and towards the support classroom, and into the Garage.

Mei ran to a tarp that was covering something big. "This is what I've been working of for Jason." She said pulling the tarp of to show a large black vehicle. "I don't have time to explain, but I've hit a snag. I was hoping that your dad could help me with it."

"Why?" Barton asked.

"Because it's the only thing that can accurately track Jason."

Barton held his hands up and glowed an electric blue and yellow. The vehicle also glowed blue and yellow before they heard the sounds of bolts ratcheting, electricity sparking, and the vehicle roaring to life.

"Thank you!" Mei yelled to be heard over the roar of the engine before opening the bay door. "Johnny! Do you want to take it for a test drive?"

"Do I!" Johnny yelled back before jumping in.

Barton looked around. "Where do you keep your scraps around here?"

"Why do you ask?" Mei questioned.

"Because there's no way our bikes could keep up with that beast."

Mei got a gleam in her eyes before she led them to their scrap machinery.

Barton glowed Blue and yellow before two Mad Max looking motorcycles were sitting in front of them.

"I had no idea your Quirk was so versatile." Mei said.

"So long as it's a machine, I can put it back together." Barton said.

Barton and Clara jumped onto the bikes and shot off after Johnny.

Izuku ran outside and looked around for his friends and family. He spun around and saw his dad. He bolted for him and burst into the group. "GUYS!" He yelled. "They took Jason!"

"WHAT!" The group yelled.

"Yeah! They took Jason and made him drop his utility belt!"

"WHAT!" Raven and Rogue yelled.

"Then he put him in a bubble that only has enough oxygen to let him breathe! He can't use his Quirk!"

"WHAT!" Jason Blood yelled.

"Yeah! I'm not sure what to do!"

There was an explosion in the sky, and everyone looked up to see a cloud of smoke.

All Might found all of the explosives and launched them as high up as he could before exploding them before he ran out to the street. He heard Nedzu Senpai's message and looked around for Young Midoriya.

He found him and made his way through the crowd. "Young Midoriya! Will you be my Sidekick until this crisis is over?"

Everyone looked at Izuku's who looked up at All Might with determination burning in his eyes.

"Yes." He spoke.

There was the sound of a jet engine powering up before the sound of a car moving at high speed and everyone saw a large black vehicle of some type shoot off into the city.

"Mama." Rogue said to Raven. "I'm going to follow and help. Do you want me to take you home first?"

"No. I'll stay here."

"Okay." Rogue said before jumping into the air and flying off after the vehicle.

A few seconds later and couple drove off after the vehicle on two Mad Max looking bikes.

All Might and Izuku jumped into the air and after the convoy, Izuku using 'Black Whip' to get from building to building.

Jason Blood walked back into the stadium and found Jason's Utility Belt. He turned around and saw Raven standing behind him.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"I'm going to find Peter."

"Then I'm going with you."

"Are you sure that's wise?"

"I. Am. Going. With. You." Raven said through grit teeth. "Am I understood?"

"Yes."

Jason Blood created a spell circle and laid the utility belt in the center of it before casting the spell. *Ostende Mihi Jasons Haywood.*(show me Jason Haywood.)

The metal of the utility belt showed Jason in a bubble unconscious... no, not unconscious. He opened an eye to look around before closing it.

"YES!" Raven yelled. "He might be caught, but he's not helpless!"

"This doesn't help us find where he is though."

"Then how can you find him?"

"I can create a location spell. It will find him."

"But?"

"It will be slow, and we will have to wait until he stops moving."

"Why!"

"Magic is fickle that way."

"Damn it!" Raven swore.

Anna and Elsa looked at each other.

"We can help at the Water Plant." Anna said.

"What did you say?" A voice asked.

The sisters looked at the speaker. "I Said that we could help at the Water Plant." Anna said. "My Quirk is Water Based, and my sisters is Ice Based."

"How specifically can your Quirks help at the Water Plant?"

"I can freeze the water." Elsa said. "And I am able to pull the water molecules from the air, so I'm confident that I could do that on a larger scale."

"Trial by fire." The man said. "Well, it's not like we have many options. I am the Storm Hero: Neptune. I can control the environment."

"I can help too Kero, Kero." Tsu said coming up. "I can help with rescue."

"Very well. Come on."

"Wait!" Kristoff yelled. "I have gear for you!"

The sisters, Tsu, and Neptune turned to see Kristoff.

"Where are they?" Anna asked.

"Here." Kristoff said reaching into his bag and pulled out a few small gadgets. He handed a pair of gloves to Anna. "These should be able to allow you to form water into weapons."

"Should?"

"It's a prototype."

"Thanks. I'll try them out and tell you what I think."

"Thanks." Kristoff said before walking over to Elsa and handing her a pair of gloves. "These should allow you to control your ice to make very thin beams or make your ice palace megalithic."

"Oh. Thanks." Elsa said.

"You're Welcome." Kristoff handed Tsu a mask. "This should protect your eyes and face. I based the lenses off of a welders mask, and the material is a special blend of Kevlar and Titanium weave to be both comfortable and practical."

"Thanks. Kero, kero."

"You're Welcome." Kristoff turned to Neptune. "I'm sorry sir!" He said with a bow. "I wasn't expecting any of this and don't have anything for you."

"Ah, but you do." Neptune said.

Kristoff looked up confused. "I do?"

"Yes, you do. You have your can do attitude and spirit which had you bring these to your friends so that they wouldn't go into battle unprepared. Keep up the good work, and I believe that you'll make an excellent Hero one day."

"But, I'm in support sir."

"A support Hero is still a Hero." Neptune said. "Now. Let us go."

With that the sisters and Tsu followed Neptune.

Kirishima and Tetsutetsu walked up to the Heroes. "We'd like to help at the police station." They said in unison.

"Are you sure?" A Hero wearing blue and gold armor with large gauntlets asked.

"Yes. We have good Quirks in terms of offense and defense."

"I'm the Shield Hero: Defender. Stay with me and you can come with."

"Thank you!" The two said in unison before following Defender.

Tenya was looking around for his family when they appeared in front of him.

"We're going to go help at the prison." Tensei said. "Want to come on a run along?"

"I would be honored to!" Tenya yelled bowing.

"Let's Go." His father said, and the family ran off.

"Hey kid." A Hero with black hair and blond lightning bolts said walking up to Kaminari. "I noticed that you've got an electricity Quirk. Want to help me at the Power Plant?"

"I'm not sure. I don't have the best control and my best offensive attack is my three million volts attack."

"Three Million? Kid, Ima become your mentor after this. I'll send an internship invite, make sure you accept it. Three million volts. I've got a lot to teach you about being an electric Hero and pick a good name too."

"What's your name?" Kaminari asked.

"Me? I'm Lightning Bolt Volt." The Hero said. "Now come on. We've got a Power Plant to get back online."

"Yes sir!" Kaminari yelled, following Volt.

"Young Honjō." Recovery Girl Said walking through the crowd. "Come with me. We'll set up a medical station."

"Yes Sensei!" Honjō called after Recovery Girl.

"We need someone to help at the City Council!" A Hero called out.

"We'll help!" Six voices called out.

Momo, Jiro, Kendo, and the Gero siblings walked up to the Hero.

A Hero wearing a tactical suit with an overcoat looked at them. "My name is the Grey Guard: Sentinel. Are you sure that you want to come with me? It could be dangerous."

"Yes." The tallest of the Gero Siblings said in his deep rumbling voice.

"What's your Quirks?" She asked.

Momo, Jiro, and Kendo explained their Quirks before the Gero's explained theirs.

"We have Quirks that augment our bodies." Lapis and Lazuli said. "His Quirk is a little more complicated."

"Complicated how?"

"Complicated in the fact that he has one Quirk that acts like three."

"What?" The group said. "What is it?"

"His brain is basically a computer. It can make him stronger, let's him communicate with animals, birds specifically; and he's able to get a burst of explosive power and speed."

"That's amazing!" Sentinel said.

"Very."

"Alright, let's go."

The group left for the City Council building.

"I need help at the sewage treatment plant!" a Hero wearing a yellow Hazmat suit said. "Can anyone help?!"

"I can!" Thirteen said walking up.

"I'll help too." Uraraka raised her hand.

"Me too." Shoji and Sado walked forward.

"I'll help too!" Monoma ran up.

"Great!" the Hero said with a thumbs up. "My name is Toxi-king the toxic Hero. I specialize in cleaning up Toxic spills. Prepare yourself. This won't be easy."

The group ran with Toxi-King for the Sewer Treatment Plant.

Jason woke up when they came to a stop. "Where are we?" He asked.

"We're switching vehicles." The reporter said.

"Oh. I see. Then do you think that you could get me a first class seat this time? Riding in coach sucks ass."

"You don't get it!" A thug yelled. "This isn't a game! You are going to die by the end of the day!"

"Eat a dick." Jason retorted. "Actually don't. You might enjoy it."

The thug lit a fire in the bubble and Jason passed out again.

"It's still impressive that he can hold his breath that long." The reporter said.

"Let's just get him to the boss."

The mercenaries moved Jason into another car and drove off. They changed cars two more times before they finally arrived at their destination.

"Huh." Jason said. "So nice of you to roll out the red carpet for me."

"You're still a Smart ass." Willis Todd Said.

"And a bad ass and have a great ass." Jason snarked. "So that makes me a triple threat."

"Let me kill this kid!" One of the thugs yelled.

"All in Good time." Willis Todd said. "First I want him to know WHY he has to die."

Jason glared at Willis with an intensity that Willis admired, but he still had to die.

The group brought Jason into the warehouse and let him out of the bubble.

Jason immediately grew to his max height and let his armor cover him. He lashed out and kicked one of the guards into a wall with an ominous crunch. He rounded on the others only to have a bubble encompass him and siphon his oxygen. He lashed out until he fell to his knees from lack of oxygen but kept trying to fight. It wasn't long until he passed out, his armor fading."

"Tie him to the chair." The Reporter said. "Don't be gentle."

"He killed Volt!" another thug yelled.

"Damn it!" The reporter said. "Aqua is gonna be pissed!"

"Want me to tell her?"

"No. I'll do it. Do whatever Mr. Todd tells you until I get back." The reporter said taking out his phone. "She'll probably want to drown the brat herself."

"Right." The thug said as the reporter left.

"Bolt." Willis said. "Why don't you wake him up?"

Bolt smiled a cruel smile and held up his hands to show bolt guns. "This is gonna be fun."

Johnny drove the machine that Mei had given him to help find Jason. Jason had a file on it in the Bat Computer, what had he called it? Tumbler? Something like that.

He was trying to follow Jason, but the overwhelming presence of evil was so suffocating that he couldn't help but follow it. The presence led him to the Musutafu prison. He jumped out of the vehicle and let the Rider loose.

The Rider grabbed his chain wrapped around his chest and let it fly at a prisoner, catching them in his chain and pulled them back towards him. He looked at the man and saw everything he'd ever done. "You! Innocent!" He roared putting the man down. The man was in prison for killing the man responsible for brutally raping and murdering his girlfriend.

The Rider went back to work not noticing Barton and Clara riding up to the vehicle.

Rogue was flying over Musutafu when she heard screams coming from below. She looked down and saw a woman with clawed hands terrorizing a group of kids. She flew down and landed behind the woman and knocked her into a wall. "Get out of here kids!" she yelled. "Get home where it's safe!"

The kids ran and the woman walked out of the hole she'd created. "Do you know who you pissed off?" She snarled.

"A big bully who needs to be taught a lesson." Rogue smiled.

"No! You just pissed off Lady Deathclaw of the Yakuza!"

'Lady Deathclaw? Isn't that one of Logan's villains?'

Lady Deathclaw jumped at Rogue, swiping at her face.

'Oh no. That was Lady Deathstrike. My mistake.' Rogue thought as she grabbed Lady Deathclaw by the wrist and tossed her away.

Lady Deathclaw spun and ran back striking up and to the side trying to cut Rogue. A lucky claw cut Rogue and she felt poison course through her body.

"What did you do to me?"

"That is one of the poisons I coat my claws in. You'll slowly die as it liquifies your insides. If I cut, you with all five you'd be in excruciating agony for about ten seconds before you died."

Rogue switched to Johnny's Quirk and the Poison was purged from her system.

Lady Deathclaw watched as the girl went from writhing in pain to perfectly fine in a few seconds. She also watched as her flesh melted away leaving a flaming skeleton in her place.

"Tell me something!" The girl yelled. "Do you know what pain you've caused people?"

"Wh-what!" Lady Deathclaw demanded.

"Do you know the pain you've caused people? Cause I do." Rogue grabbed Lady Deathclaw and picked her up before looking directly into her eyes. "Look into my eyes and FEEL THEIR PAIN!"

Lady Deathclaw screamed out in pure agonizing torture as she felt every person, she'd ever hurt by stabbing with her claws, every person she'd ever gutted, every person she'd ever taken a bite out of. She felt it all. It felt as though it was happening in an instant and yet for an eternity. She tried to scream, but by the time the noise left her lips she was already dead.

Rogue looked into the brimstone colored eyes of Lady Deathclaw and puked. How the hell could Johnny do that all the time?

She walked to a fountain and rinsed her mouth out before spitting into a plant and looked around.

There were screams coming from the City Council building. She ran over and saw a pillar had fallen leaving the building structurally unsound. She flew to the pillar and held it in place so the people could continue evacuating.

Jason Blood and Raven stopped by a pond and took out Jason's utility belt.

Jason Blood cast the spell to find Jason, and the two were horrified at what they saw.

A man with bolt guns for hands was using them to torture Jason. He was using the bolt guns to break Jason's bones which were healing, and he was breaking.

Raven could feel tears flow from her eyes when she saw that Jason wasn't crying or screaming. He was just sitting there, grunting when the bolt hit.

"Why! Won't! You! Scream!" The torturer yelled.

"Because this pain doesn't even make my top ten list." Jason said.

"Then how about this!" The man said raising his bolt guns to Jason's Temples.

"Stop!" A man yelled. "You can't kill him yet!"

"Fine." The thug said before lowing the bolt gun.

There was a crack and Jason roared in agony.

"YES! YES! YES!" The man yelled in pure arousal.

Raven turned and puked. When she turned around, she glared at Blood. "Where the fuck are they!" She snarled.

Jason Blood cast a locator spell on Jason. His utility belt glowed on the right side. Jason Blood followed until it glowed in the front. 'Hold on Peter.' He thought desperately.

'Jason!' Raven thought. 'We're coming! Don't worry!'

Izuku and All Might landed at the Police Station. They scanned the area and found a group of police officers trying to keep the suspects from leaving.

"It's fine!" All Might cheered. "Why?"

"Because we are here!" Izuku finished; squealing internally that he'd been able to say his Heroes famous line.

"All Might!" Tsukauchi yelled.

"All Might!" The suspects yelled before surrendering.

'His mere presence is enough to make villains surrender.' Izuku thought.

'Just because a person commits a crime doesn't make them a villain!' Jason's voice yelled in his head.

'Right. I forgot.'

"Are you All right Young Midoriya?" All Might asked.

"Yeah. Just worried about Jason."

"The best way to help him is to focus on your job."

"Right."

Anna, Elsa, Tsu, and Neptune made their way to the Water Plant but were stopped by a group of villains.

"Where do you think you're going?" One of them asked.

"To bring the Water Plant back online." Anna said.

"Not unless you can get through us." Another Villain said.

"We don't have time for this! Elsa snapped pushing her hands up creating an ice cage around the villains. "Those bars are -53 degrees Celsius. If you touch them, you will regret it."

One of the villains touched the bars and shrieked in agony as his hands froze to the bars before burning from the cold.

"I warned you." Elsa said before they started running again.

Anna looked at Elsa. She had a determined look on her face. It was comforting, but also scary.

When the group made it to the Water Plant, they saw that the place was flooded.

"Anna?" Elsa asked. "Can you part the water?"

"I don't know. I haven't tried anything like that before."

"Can you do it for Jason?"

Anna's eyes became determined, and she nodded. She held her hands out at the water and thought about helping Jason. She let that one singular thought flood her consciousness and she pulled her arms together before pushing them apart.

At first there was nothing, but then the water parted down the middle as if it couldn't get away fast enough.

Elsa froze the water the way it was to subzero temperatures and left it like that. "Great work Anna!" She cheered.

"Th-thanks Elsa." Anna panted.

"Astounding work!" Neptune praised.

"I Didn't know you could do that; Kero, Kero." Tsu said.

"Neither did I." Anna answered truthfully.

The group moved into the Water Plant and saw the flooding was severe and electrical cables were in the water electrifying it.

Neptune scanned the area and found what he was looking for. "Please. Tell me your Hero names." He asked.

"We don't have Hero names yet."

"Then come up with the first name that comes to mind. You can change it later. A secret identity is very important in our line of work."

"Yuki Onna for Elsa." Anna said.

"I'll be Froppy." Tsu said.

"Anna can be Naiad." Elsa suggested. "Like the water sprite."

"Those will work for now." Neptune said. "Froppy. There is a panel over there. Do you think you can jump over there and shit it off?"

"Why can't I make an ice bridge?" Elsa asked.

"We run the risk of electrocution if it breaks, subzero burns if you make it too cold, or slipping into the water. It's too risky."

"Oh. I see. Thank you for catching the flaws of my plan."

"Don't sell yourself short. Given enough experience you will be able to come up with flawless plans. Not to say that there isn't risk with this plan, but it's the only way I can see to get to the other side with the least amount of risk."

"What about crossing the catwalk?" Anna asked pointing at the wraparound catwalk."

"Look closer." Neptune said.

The group looked around the catwalk and saw an electric cable touching it.

"Oh." Anna said.

"It's All right." Neptune said. "You are still young. You still have much to learn."

Tsu backed up and hopped to the edge before she hopped towards the far wall.

Defender led Kirishima and Tetsutetsu through Musutafu to the police station.

When they arrived, they were shocked to see that the escapees were all in squad cars or handcuffed to poles or loose debris.

"It looks like you have everything under control here." Defender said.

"All thanks to All Might and his Sidekick." Tsukauchi said. "They showed up and the suspects just surrendered."

"So cool!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu yelled in unison.

"If you want to stay and help until we get the all clear we wouldn't say no."

"Then we'll stay." Defender said. "Just in case you need it."

"Thank you." Tsukauchi bowed.

As the Iida family ran towards the prison to help, they were intercepted by a long vehicle.

The door opened and a man looked at them. "Want a ride?" He asked

Tensei shrugged and jumped into the vehicle Follower by his parents and brother. "Trick shot." He said holding his hand out.

"Ingenium." The man, Trick Shot, returned the hand shake. "What the hell happened?"

"Not sure. The sports festival was attacked, and Chaos ensued."

"Right. Well, you guys headed to the prison too?"

"Yeah."

"Then let me get geared up."

"How is this... vehicle driving itself?" Tenya asked.

"That would be me." Another voice piped in. "We're all from the same agency."

"What agency?"

"Chaos Incorporated." Trick Shot Said. "There's me, my friend, our partners, and my butler."

"WHAT!" Iida yelled.

"Yeah. That's why we call ourselves Chaos incorporated."

"What are your Quirks?"

"My Quirk is called Radical. You know is shooting games how you have a radical that tells you where to shoot?"

"Yes?"

"That's my Quirk. Do long as I'm shooting, I'll always have a radical showing me where to shoot."

"Okay."

"My partner is Tech Support. Say hello babe."

"Hello babe." A female voice said from the back of the vehicle.

"Cute."

"You know that's why you love me."

"Yes, yes. Love you babe."

"Love you too."

"Next is Paladin."

"Sup." The person driving the bus waved. "I'm Paladin. My Quirk is weird, so it'll be easier to show you, but the easiest description is that I summon things."

"Summon?" Tenya asked.

"Like I Said. It'll be easier to show you, so wait till we get to the prison."

"Do you want to introduce Mina?" Trick Shot asked.

"The lovely lady sitting next to me is Mina. Want to explain your Quirk?"

"My Quirk is called Fire Trap. It's also easier for me to show you rather than tell you. My Hero name is Firebrand."

"And now, my butler." Trick Shot said directing them to a thin man who gave off an aura of menace and danger. "He is ex-military, fluent in at least seven different languages, keeps all of us patched up after a long night of fighting, is an exceptional swordsman, superb shot with a gun, has written two... no three books, has starred in at least two different movies, is always punctual, keeps us punctual, can kick our asses seven ways from Tuesday, and... he makes a killer cup of tea."

"That's amazing!" Tenya exclaimed. "What's his Quirk?"

"He makes a really good cup of tea."

"Tea sir?" The butler asked offering tea to Tenya.

"Thank you." Tenya bowed and tried the tea and was shocked at how good it was. "This is amazing."

"I know right!" Trick Shot said.

The group made their way to the prison and Trick Shot walked to a panel and opened it to show a variety of guns. He grabbed three and pulled on a shoulder holster before putting the largest of the three into the holster and two magazines on the other side. He pulled his top up and put the middle sized gun into the holster hidden in the small of his back before leaning down and pulling up his left pant leg to show an ankle holster. He placed the smallest gun in the ankle holster before he put his pant leg down to hide it. He grabbed a rifle from the cubby and pulled it over his shoulder. "You guys ready?" he asked.

"Yup." The others called out.

"What's your names?" Tech Support asked.

"Call us Ingenium." Tensei said.

"Both of you?"

"Yes."

Tenya looked at his brother who gave him a look that said they would talk later.

"Three..." Trick Shot said.

"Two..." Tech Support continued.

"One." Firebrand finished.

Denki followed Volt to the Power Plant. "Hey." He spoke. "Isn't the power plant Nuclear?"

"What? No. We stopped using nuclear power after Quirks became as big as they are. Don't they teach you anything at UA anymore?"

"Yeah, but what do they use for power?"

"Electricity, wind, water, solar, geothermal."

"Then why are we going there?"

"Because. In order to jumpstart the Power Plant, we need a massive power surge."

"Oh. Okay. Is that where I come in?"

"No. It would take almost triple what you generate to jumpstart the power plant."

"How much do you generate?!"

"About 13 million volts when I'm being reckless."

"Oh. Okay. So why am I here?"

"To learn, and to help me if I need it."

"Oh. Okay." Denki said as he followed Volt into the power plant.

Bakugo and his parents ran through the streets of Musutafu towards their apartment. Bakugo would have rather stayed and fought, but his parents told him that they were staying there.

He grit his teeth and stayed with his parents.

"Well, well well." A watery voice said slithering up to them.

Bakugo stared in terror as the slime villain made its way up to his and his parents.

"My old flesh suit." The slime villain said.

Before he knew it, he was moving. He was letting off explosions at the Slime Villain and once he was behind it, he let off a big explosion and backed away.

The Slime Villain turned around to face him and Bakugo slammed twin explosions into his eyes.

"AAHHH!" The Slime Villain screamed in agony. "My eyes! What did you do to my eyes!"

"You want me you bastard! Come and get me!"

"Katsuki!" Mitsuki Bakugo yelled in horror as her son led the Slime Villain away from them.

As the van pulled into the warehouse Bolt stopped his unceasing torture of the Todd boy. He looked at the car and a woman with blue hair, blue eyes, and gills stormed out of the van.

"WHERE IS HE!" She demanded. "WHERE IS THE BASTARD WHO KILLED MY VOLT!"

"Here he is." Bolt said to the woman showing a panting, sweat covered Jason.

"Thank you Bolt." The woman caressed his face before she glared at Jason. "So. You're the filthy bastard who killed my Volt!" She yelled.

"Actually." Jason said matter of factly. "Unlike you; I was wanted."

The woman slammed her fist into Jason's face. "We'll see if you're still a smart ass when I'm through with you."

"Let me talk to the boy first." Willis said walking up to Jason.

"Fine." The woman said.

Willis looked at Jason. "So. You're probably wondering why all of this." He motioned around them."

"Cause you're an asshole." Jason said.

"You're not wrong. Actually. It's because I want what everyone else wants."

"A family? Friends? People who genuinely like you and aren't your own personal ass lickers? Comfort in an ever changing world? A warm house and plenty of food?"

"All those things and more." Willis said. "I want power!"

"Your Quirk wasn't enough for you?"

"I mean REAL power. I mean the kind of power that can only be achieved by getting other people's hands dirty for your own ride to power. I want to control everything. Crime, Heroes, Villains, the World. I want to control EVERYTHING!"

"So where do I fit into your whole plan?"

"You. You are the one person that might have had a chance to actually stop me."

"How the fuck do you figure that, asshole?"

"When you found out that I wanted you dead, why did you think I wanted you dead?"

"I thought you wanted to wipe the slate clean of your last marriage so it couldn't be used against you."

"Nope. I couldn't care less."

"Then why?"

"I had you and your mother followed. Every day since she left America for Japan, I had her followed. When I heard what you did to that man because he pushed your little friend down the stairs... I knew that you could be trouble."

"My mom left you! What right did you have to follow her!"

"Power!" Willis said. "Power was the reason I had her followed. Information is power! If I had information on you then I could use it against you and your mom. Then she had to go and die."

"YOU BASTARD!" Jason snarled, jumping at Willis.

"See. See. Power. I can break you by telling you every little thing that I found out about your mother. Did you know that she was a little whore?"

Jason pulled against his restraints, frothing at the mouth, wanting to murder Willis Todd with his bare hands.

"You didn't. So, you didn't know that Tuesday nights she would go to the bar with that bimbo, the one who can shapeshift. Her daughter has the weird parasitic Quirk."

Jason strained against his restraints. "If I'm not going to let you talk shit about my mom, what makes you think I'd let you talk shit about Raven!"

"Raven!" Willis smiled. "That's her name. You didn't know that she was spending Tuesday nights with Raven?"

"I don't give a fuck who my mom saw!" Jason snarled. "So long as she was happy!"

"I also know about your blood packs." Willis said. "So unsanitary."

"Fuck off!"

"Knowledge is power, and guess what else I know?"

Jason struggled against the bindings. He really hoped that Willis wasn't about to say what he thought he was going to say.

"I know every Weakness your little friends have. Including Izuku Midoriya and All Might."

Jason flexed and his skin began to glow red. He began growing until he hit his max height and burst from his bindings.

"Aqua. Be a dear and kill him."

Aqua walked over to Jason and trapped him in a ball of water before she focused it on his head.

Jason walked over to Aqua and kicked her into a pillar, impaling her on a piece of Rebar sticking out of it.

Willis tried to get away from Jason but was caught off guard when a hand grabbed him and spun him around, into the fist of Raven. "That's for taking Jason!" She yelled, punching him again. "And that's for disrespecting Shiela!"

Willis looked over at the reporter who disappeared into sludge, revealing Himiko.

Himiko's eyes burned with hatred. "Can I kill HIM?" She asked Raven.

"Be my guest." Raven said.

Himiko stalked up to Willis with her knives drawn and ready to kill. She jumped at Willis and cut his arms, but Willis kicked her away.

Jason punched at Willis, but Willis dodged.

When he stood up again, a portal appeared next to him, and a hand pulled him through.

Himiko ran up to Jason and jugged him. "We found you!" She yelled.

Jason sat down and changed back before he lost consciousness.

Chapter 26: Mate

Summary:

The Heroes in Training help out around Musutafu.

Chapter Text

Raven and Jason Blood were running through the streets when they were plowed into by someone much smaller than them.

Raven grabbed the figure and almost lost her hand for her troubles.

"Let me go!" Himiko yelled as she slashed at Raven's hand.

"Toga! We're trying to find Jason too."

"You are?"

"Yes."

"Oh. Okay. You can help me find Jason."

"Lead the way."

Himiko looked at a device in her hand and went straight.

"What is that?" Jason Blood asked.

"Hatsumé told me that in short, it's a tracker to find Jason."

"Good enough for me." Raven said, following Himiko.

Bakugo ran through the streets of Musutafu with the Slime villain hot on his tail.

"Slow down!" The Slime Villain shouted. "I'll make it easier for you if you do!"

"Fuck off!" Bakugo yelled as he ran past a fire hydrant and created an explosion that caused water to gush into the air sending the Slime Villain into the air before he came crashing down with a splat in the water, and he began mixing into the water. "Now die!" Bakugo yelled as he held his hands together and created a large explosive that cratered the ground causing the Slime Villain to fall into the crater with the water. "Good riddance!" He spat before he walked back to his parents.

As Froppy jumped towards the other side of the cat walk to shut off the water she realized that she wasn't going to make it. She looked down and saw water sparking and fizzing under her. She looked at the power lever and flicked her tongue out towards it. She caught it and felt gravity take effect as she felt her tongue jolt for a second. She felt the lever slide down, shutting off the power causing the water to stop sparking.

She swung herself to the wall and climbed up to meet her friends and Neptune.

"Well done, Froppy." Neptune said.

"That was amazing!" Naiad cheered.

"Good Job." Yuki Onna said.

"Thank you. Kero, kero." Froppy beamed.

"Now. Let's see what we can do about the water." Neptune said.

Naiad looked at Yuki Onna. "I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work. Can you flash freeze the water instantly?"

"I'll do my best." Yuki Onna nodded.

Naiad looked at Froppy. "Can you hold me, so I don't fall?"

Froppy nodded and grabbed Naiad around the waist.

Naiad concentrated on the water and began moving her hands forwards and backwards. To her surprise the water began moving back and forth. She increased her motions until she was making waves.

"Elsa!" She yelled.

Yuki Onna began flash freezing the water as it hit the wall.

Naiad pulled back before she shoved her arms forward and the water hit the wall with enough force that it splashed off the wall and came towards them.

Yuki Onna flash froze the water, and the water froze mere inches from Naiad's nose.

"Did it work?" Froppy asked.

They looked down to see a mostly dry floor with a thin sheen of ice on it.

"I'm tired." Naiad said.

"Excellent job." Neptune said.

"Thanks. Can I take a nap?"

"Not yet. We still have a ways to go, and we are still in potential danger."

Naiad slapped her face and shook her head. "Let's go."

"That's the spirit!" Neptune said leading the way to the bottom floor.

Denki looked around for Volt and saw him walk up to a button.

"Come on Kid!" Volt shouted. "We don't have all day."

Denki ran over to Volt and saw the machine. "Okay. So, how are we going to fix this?"

"Why don't you work through this one yourself. If you're going to be my intern for a week, I want to see what you can do, so I know what I'm working with."

Denki looked at the machine. "The Machines aren't getting power..."

"Yes."

"...so, we need to find out What's stopping the power from getting to the machines..."

"Yes."

"...and after that we can see what we need to fix and fix it."

"Let's Go find out What's wrong then."

They walked through the power plant and found a row of the generators with a massive holes in them.

"Okay. We need to find a way to fill those holes." Denki said.

"Bow chicka bow wow." Volt said. "And not quite. We need new generators. Those aren't going to get here anytime soon, so we need to power the plan ourselves."

"Wait, seriously?"

"Yeah. Who do you think the city calls when we have a black out and they need someone to power the city."

"So, you can power the city?"

"Kid; you could Power the city with three million volts."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. If you could sustain it, and at least for a little while. So. I'm going to teach you how to maintain your electricity, starting now."

"How."

"Shock me, and slowly increase your current until you can hold that. We'll take breaks as needed and you'll get better."

"Thanks!" Denki shouted.

"You're Welcome, Kid. Now. Hit me with your best shot!"

Rogue was holding the pillar up as civilians escaped, but she heard a crack and another pillar cracked, causing the roof to crack. "NO!" She shouted.

"Poor little Hero!" An acidic voice said. "Can't save these people?"

"Bite me!" Rogue shouted.

"If you insist!" The owner of the voice said morphing their jaw into something truly monstrous. The figure walked up to her and jumped up, latching onto her leg.

"ACK!" Rogue shouted as the villain bit into her thigh. "Fuck!"

The Villain screeched in pain and terror as Rogue simultaneously took their Quirk and burned their mouth before they fell to the ground, Quirkless.

Rogue wore Jason's armor on one leg but let herself be bitten on her other leg to take the Villains Quirk. She activated Eri's Quirk and healed her leg before she spit at the Villains. "Y'all want to mess with me now!"

"We don't need to!" Another villain said. "We just need to drop the building on you."

"Would you care to say that again you son of a bitch?" A deep rumbling voice asked as the Villain went flying through a pillar and Rogue grunted under the increased weight.

"Aim away from the building next time big guy." A girl with blond hair said.

"I am Sorry. I will help hold the building up." The absolute giant of a man said, walking to the pillar and held it up with both hands as if it didn't bother him.

"Yaoyorozu!" A hero said. "Can you build hydraulic jacks to help distribute the weight of the building so they can help us."

"Yes." Yaoyorozu said, creating several hydraulic jacks that they maneuvered into position and pressed into the pillars to keep the building steady.

"Thanks sugar." Rogue said, tossing Yaoyorozu a protein bar from her bag.

"You're Welcome." Yaoyorozu Said, taking the protein bar and taking a bite.

Rogue caught Jiro giving her the stink eye. "Don't worry hon. I don't swing that way. Besides. I have my eye on a Someone else."

Jiro blushed, but the Hero spoke up. "My name is Sentinel. We need to secure this building and keep it safe until the lockdown has been cleared. Will you help us young hero?"

"The names Rogue." Rogue said. "And I've been keepin' this place clear, I don't see any reason to stop now."

"Thank you, Rogue. Now. Please, take to the sky and keep a lookout for threats."

"Will do." Rogue said, flying into the sky.

The smell was unbearable as the group walked towards the Sewage treatment plant.

"Put these on." Toxi-King said, handing the group gas masks.

They put them on and could breathe.

"Now. I'm going to neutralize the sewage and you will help clean it up, move debris, and rescue any civilians. I'm going to warn you now, you might see drowned victims. I'm sorry for that, but as heroes, it's part of the job."

The group nodded and Toxi-King walked out into the sewage, and they watched as it became clear and was purified.

Thirteen walked over and began sucking the purified sewage up with their Quirk while Uraraka, Shoji, Sado, and Monoma followed.

Uraraka used her Quirk to like heavy debris and move it to one side while Shoji used his Quirk to listen for survivors or look for unsafe conditions.

Sado and Monoma lifted other debris and moved it out of the way for the others.

In no time they had cleared away the debris and had found a few survivors, and some that weren't as lucky.

For once, Uraraka needed to be sick in a way that wasn't related to her Quirk usage.

They didn't know how long it took, but by the time they finished, the sun had set, and they were surrounded by the darkness of night.

"Look at this guy." Paladin pointed at Johnny who was currently the Rider and was detaining some criminals while killing others. "It's like he doesn't care."

"Actually sir," the butler said. "If you watch closely, you'll notice his eyes glowing momentarily before deciding to detain or kill."

"So, what you're saying..." Trick Shot began.

"...is he's an Evil Detector!" Paladin finished.

Firebrand and Tech Support slapped them upside the back of their heads.

"Thank you, ladies." The Butler Said.

"Do you have a Hero name?" Tenya asked.

"Yes," the Butler Said. "It's Sebastian."

"What's your actual name?" Tensei asked.

"Diablo," Sebastian explained.

Tensei and Tenya looked at each other.

"Right!" Trick Shot Said. "What do you do when your real name is cooler than your Hero name?"

"We have work to do." Sebastian said, nodding at the prisoners.

"Right!" Trick Shot Said. "Let's go!" He waved his hand towards the fray.

Touya and Hawks few through the sky, Hawks carrying Touya in his arms bridal style.

"Say one word, and I'll roast you." Touya threatened.

"Okay, okay. Spoilsport." Hawks muttered.

They flew until they found a secluded area and Hawks landed.

"I'll be a minute." Touya said. "I'll find out if my friend knows anything, and we'll leave."

"Okay, but hurry."

Touya nodded and walked into the building. "Compress?" He asked.

"Dabi?" Compress asked. "What are you doing Here?"

"I need Information."

"On what?"

"On what the fuck's going on in Musutafu today. The sports festival was attacked, a kid was kidnapped, and buildings have been sabotaged. Do you know anything?"

"Yes. There was a fellow who was amplifying Quirks a while ago. He offered money, a lot of money, to kill a kid and his mother. I may dabble in the occasional ransom, but murder, no thank you; no matter how outrageous the price."

"What was his name?"

"Todd, Willis Todd. He's someone you want to steer clear of. He's not a good person even by our standards. Rumor has it that he's trying to bring all crime under his control and kill anyone who objects to it."

"Thanks." Touya Said.

"One more thing before you go."

"What?"

"If Todd has that kid... he'll either be a criminal by the end of the day, or dead."

"Let's hope it's the former and not the latter."

"I agree with you."

Touya nodded and headed outside.

"Well?" Hawks asked.

"We need to find Jason before whoever took him makes him a Villain, or worse."

Hawks gulped and picked Touya up, carrying him through the sky. "By the way, while you were in there, I got a call from Nedzu."

"About what?"

"Don't know. He said that I need to get back to U.A. Now."

"Let's Go. I Can check on my family while you talk to Nedzu."

"Sounds like a pretty solid plan." Hawks Said, as he carried Touya back to U.A.

Nedzu was in his office when he came across something that made his mouth dry up and his skin go cold.

He picked up his phone and called Hawks.

"Hawks. Please get back to U.A. As quickly as you can. It's urgent. I need to talk to you."

He hung up and called All Might.

"Toshinori. Please get to U.A. It's of the utmost importance and bring young Midoriya."

He hung up and called Jason Blood.

"Blood San, please Young Haywood back to U.A. As soon as you find him. He's in danger. Do you know where young Blaze and young Darkhölme are? Please get them back to U.A. Quickly! They're all in danger!"

Nedzu looked at his computer screen. How had he let this happen? How had young Haywood been able to discover this when he couldn't? This was bad, this was very bad.

There was the sound of bone breaking and Nedzu looked up in time to see a barrel pointing right at him.

"The Hero Commission sends their regards." The owner said before there was the sound of a gunshot.

Shoto was in Natsuo's pocket and was waiting. He waited until he couldn't wait any longer.

"I need to go outside." He spoke.

"Touya told us to stay out until he got back." Fuyumi said.

"We need to know what's going on outside."

Natsuo looked outside his pocket. "Hey Touya! We're here!"

Touya appeared inside the pocket and looked at them. "Okay, I'm glad you guys are okay. You guys need to get home and lock the doors, stay inside the pocket once you get there, and don't let anyone inside until I get there."

"Why?" Fuyumi asked.

"I need to find Jason before whoever kidnapped him, kills him."

"Someone is going to kill Jason?" Shoto asked.

"They Are going to try."

"Go." Rei said.

Touya Left and ran for Nedzu's office.

Natsuo walked over somewhere and walked though, motioning the others to follow.

They walked through the portal and appeared in the house.

"Did you create a pocket in the house?" Fuyumi asked.

"Yup," Natsuo Said. "Let's go."

All Might and Izuku ran into Nedzu's office only to see Nedzu in his chair looking at a body on the floor... without a head.

"What happened?" Izuku asked.

"I happened." A figure appeared in the window.

"Who are you?" Hawks appeared behind her.

"My name is Calvina, Calvina Montgomerie."

"Who was this?" All Might asked, motioning you the headless body.

"Lady Nagant." Nedzu said. "There was a reason I called you back." He motioned Toshinori over to his desk.

All Might walked over and what he saw stopped him cold. "Why is the Hero Commission looking into Young Haywood, Blaze, Rogue, and Midoriya?" He asked.

"Child Soldiers." Calvina Said. "They want Child Soldiers. That's what they did to Lady Nagant, Hawks, and me. It's what they want to do to them. They want Child Soldiers loyal to them and will do whatever it takes to get them."

"Whatever it takes?" Izuku asked.

"Yes. Even if they have to kill the parents and other family members to get them. They don't care, so long as they have their child soldiers."

"You don't think that they killed Young Haywood's mother, do you?"

"Yes." Calvina Said. "I know because I'm the one who killed her."

"Why do you think that?" Nedzu asked.

"My Quirk allows me to create and summon things. I created the cancer that killed her."

Nedzu and All Might looked at each other in horror.

Izuku looked like he was going to be sick. "Why?" He asked.

"Because. The Hero Commission told me to. They want Jason bad, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to get him."

Nedzu was about to ask why wait this long, but he knew the answer. Jason wasn't using his Quirk until recently. They would have put pieces together and they wanted his mother out of the way, so they let the cancer take its time.

"I need help taking down the Hero Commission." Calvina Said. "I can't do it alone."

"What do you mean you need help taking it down?" All Might asked.

"I mean that I need help taking it down. I thought that Nedzu Sensei would be willing to help since he knows what it's like being put in a cage."

Nedzu did know what it was like to be in a cage and knew that he was going to help. "How?"

Jason Blood was carrying Jason when his phone rang. He picked it up and answered. "Hello?"

Nedzu was on the other end.

"Okay. I'll create a portal there right away."

He hung up, placed his phone in his pocket and drew a spell circle one handed on the ground before he, Himiko, and Raven stepped inside, and he said: "U.A.!"

There was a flash and they appeared at U.A. In his room before they carried Jason to Recovery Girl's Office.

"What's This?" Recovery Girl asked. "What happened?"

"Jason was kidnapped and tortured!" Raven snapped.

"He should be at a hospital. Set him on the bed."

"We we're headed to the hospital when Nedzu told us to return here." Jason Blood explained.

"I See. Let me see what I can do here."

Jason bolted upright and vaulted off the bed before he formed his armor and looked around. When he realized that he was safe, his armor disappeared, and he passed out.

"JASON!" Himiko yelled.

"Get him on the bed!" Recovery Girl urged. "I'll run the tests that I can."

Jason Blood picked Jason up and placed him on the bed.

Recovery Girl picked up her phone and called a friend.

Bakugo found his parents and let them hug him.

The ground under their feet shook and a much larger Slime Villain burst from the ground filling the air with the smell of shit. It was worse than before.

"NOW I'LL GET YOU!" The Slime Villain shrieked.

Bakugo felt fear turn into anger and he blasted the Slime Villain with everything he had, gritting his teeth when he felt his wrists snap, but was blasted backwards as the Slime Villain blew up when the methane coating his body ignited.

Neptune stepped onto the floor of the water plant and looked around. "It is clear." He called up. "Let us see what needs to be repaired to get the Water Plant up and running again."

"I might be able to make it temporarily operational." Elsa said. "I just need to know what parts need replaced."

"Let's see what needs repaired first Yuki Onna."

"Oh, right."

They walked over to the machines and saw that it would need to be replaced entirely.

Elsa looked inside and walked around to check the other machines. Once she was done, she walked back and closed her eyes. Imagining the internals of the machines as she'd seen them, trying to make sure everything was as it should before she created an eternal winter copy of the machine.

Neptune looked at the machine. "Good try Yuki Onna, unfortunately it's not going to work."

"Why?" Elsa asked.

"There are internals that won't work. It needs electricity to run..."

Anna pressed the start button and the machine whirred to life, causing the Water Plant to Whir to life.

Neptune looked amazed as the Water Plant came to life. "I misjudged." He spoke. "Will you forgive me?"

"Yes." Elsa said. "We all make mistakes."

"Let us hold our post here until we get relieved."

"Okay." They said as they waited for the crew to return.

Froppy couldn't help by shiver as they waited in the cold of the Water Plant.

Denki panted as Volt let him take a break.

"You're getting better." Volt said.

"Am I?" He gasped.

"Yeah. Don't worry. It might be small, but you're making progress."

"It doesn't feel like it."

"It won't, not at first, but you'll make noticeable progress eventually."

Denki looked at him and smiled. This was the first time an authority figure had believed in him. It filled him with... something. He couldn't explain what it was.

"Let's go again."

Denki jumped up and readied himself, he was full of energy now, and sent a bolt of Lightning at Volt who ranked the hit by dispersing it into the power plant to keep Musutafu running.

Rogue was watching the sky when she saw someone come flying down at them. She caught them and was thrown to the ground with a crack and hissed as she felt ribs break. " FUCK!" She swore.

Sentinel ran over to her and looked over her. "You have two broken ribs. They will need healed."

"Tell me somethin' I don't know." Rogue hissed out as she got to her feet.

"Stay down." The massive man said.

"I'll be fine." Rogue said as she let Eri's Quirk take over undid her injuries. She flew back into the sky and glared at the person who'd thrown her. "You wanna try that again?" She asked the woman who'd thrown her.

The woman blasted her with energy blasts that sent her flying backwards.

"That's not gonna work." She spoke.

"Then maybe I'll just increase the power until you can't withstand it!" The woman snarled.

"Do I know you?"

"No, but I know you, and I hate you!"

"Why!?"

"Because! You think that you're better because you have an overpowered Quirk!"

"What the hell! I don't know you! How do you know me!"

"You and your friends are so arrogant that you use your Quirks out in the open! I'm here from the Hero Commission to take you in or put you down!"

"Why didn't you start with that! Instead, you come in with some half assed challenge like I kicked your dog!"

"I don't have a dog! I hate them!"

"Then I have another reason to kick your ass!" Rogue yelled, flying at the woman.

Paladin ducked under a swing as the person he was fighting tried running from Johnny.

Johnny had killed about ten percent of the people he'd attacked while leaving about ninety percent alive and detained.

"DUDE!" Paladin yelled. "What the hell!"

"Most of the people here are in prison for bullshit reasons!" The Rider shouted. "He..." He pointed at a man on his knees with his hands over his head. "...was brought here because he stole a loaf of bread and some milk to feed his family!" He pointed at a woman. "She! was a prostitute trying to save money for her son's transplant! Her son died while she was in prison! She was in solitary confinement because she lost her shit when she found out! They were labeled as Villains! Do I need to go on!"

"Why did you need to kill the others!"

Johnny grabbed a guy with his Chain Whip and pulled him over to him before staring into his eyes. "This asshole is a serial rapist! Maybe I should let him live?" Johnny asked before Penance Staring him.

"Who the fuck made you Judge, Jury, and Executioner!?"

"Mephisto." Johnny said matter-of-factly. "And I'm not Judge, Jury, and Executioner; I'm the Bounty Hunter. Now, either get the hell out of my way, or help me!"

Tenya ran over to Johnny. "Johnny! You can't kill!" He yelled, chopping the air. "It goes against every law we are being taught to uphold!"

"We are being taught to be hypocritical soldiers who jump at the beck and call of the Hero Commission Iida! You can't see it because it's been gift wrapped and made to seem like this great honor!"

"You're wrong! It's not true! We are being taught to be Heroes!"

"No, we aren't. If that was true, then the Hero Commission wouldn't decide who could be Heroes and what Quirks were classified as Villainous Quirks. The Hero Commission wouldn't have a list of the top ten heroes. There wouldn't be newly minted Heroes running around getting themselves killed trying to move up the list. There would only be people doing the right thing because it's the right thing."

Tenya and Paladin felt like they'd been smacked across the face.

"A touching speech," a prisoner said, "but it's not going to save you from me!" He grew to ten feet and swung at them, Knocking Johnny into the Tumbler, cutting it in half. "We've been hired by the Hero Commission to either subdue or kill you!"

Touya bolted into Nedzu's office and saw Nezu and All Might standing over Nedzu's computer while Midoriya stood in the corner of the room deep in thought. A figure stood in the window with their back to him, talking to Hawks. "What's going on?" He asked.

"The Hero Commission has warrants out for young Haywood, young Blaze, young Darkhölme, and young Midoriya." Nedzu said.

"Why?!"

"Because they want weapons." The figure said from the window. "That's why they bought Hawks from his family, why they recruited Lady Nagant right out of school, why my dad made me. Our Quirks are so fucking dangerous that they want to make us their own personal hit squad.

Touya knew that Hawks had the potential to be dangerous, but there had to be others that were more dangerous, right? "What's your Quirk?" He asked instead.

"Name something."

"What?"

"Name something, anything."

Touya thought for a moment before speaking. "I want Endeavors head on a spit." He said caustically.

"TOUYA!" All Might, Hawks, and Nedzu shouted.

A spit appeared with an Endeavor's doll head skewered on it.

"Name something else. Try to put more thought into it."

Touya thought. "What is your Quirk called exactly?"

"Summoning Creation. It allows me to summon or create whatever I can think of. I'm the ultimate Support Hero. You may call me Montgomerie or Montey. I hate the name the Hero Commission gave me."

"What name did they give you?"

"Summoner."

"Terrible name." Hawks said.

"Yes, yes, it is. Now. What do you want me to summon or create?"

"Bring Rogue, Johnny, and Jason here. If you can summon things, you can summon them, right?"

"Child's play." Montgomerie said.

There was a flash and Jason, Johnny, and Rogue were in Nedzu's office.

Rogue flew into a wall and crashed through the other side. Johnny crashed into a wall leaving an imprint of the Rider and catching the wall on fire, causing the fire alarms to turn on. Jason landed on the floor from about three feet off the ground and curled into the fetal position, and crawled towards the wall, shivering.

"Well done!" Nedzu praised as All Might and Izuku went to check on the students.

A portal opened in the room and Himiko burst through the portal, knives swinging and a snarl on her face that terrified All Might.

Raven burst through the portal and looked around before dropping her guard and glaring at Nedzu.

Etrigan burst through the Portal and snarled out. "Once wasn't enough? This time your life I'll snuff!"

"Please, please." Nedzu urged for calm. "We didn't realize that Young Haywood was back at the school, and Touya asked Montgomerie to bring him and the others here."

"Why?" Raven asked.

"The Hero Commission Want to turn them into child soldiers!" Hawks shouted.

"OVER MY DEAD BODY!"

"I must agree with you Darkhölme San." Nedzu said. "It would appear that Young Haywood had every reason to look into the Hero Commission."

"You're Damn Right he did!" Johnny said. "How deep does their corruption go! I Just fought of an entire Squad who said that they worked for the Hero Commission and wanted me brought in or killed!"

"I fought a woman who had the same orders." Rogue said, working kinks out of her body.

"Jason?" Izuku asked. "Are you okay?"

"Jason?" Johnny and Rogue asked, looking over at Jason. "Oh shit!" Johnny shouted at the same time Rouge shouted. "Jason!"

"Hurts." Jason said, holding his body. He looked pale.

"What happened?"

"They tortured him." Raven explained. "They broke bones and asphyxiated him to torture him and were going to drown him."

"Oh god!" Rogue said. "Why?"

"Willis Todd!" Etrigan shouted. "His reasons are his own, but he will talk when I strip his flesh from his bone!"

"Young Haywood is likely dealing with Phantom Pains." Nedzu explained. "If his healing factor is as powerful as I think it is, he was able to heal the broken areas look, but he will still feel muscular and phantom pains for the next few days."

"Fucking hell." Johnny swore.

"So, what do we do now?" Touya asked. "We can't let this stand, we can't let them get away with this!"

"This is interesting." Nedzu said, looking over the computer. "Guess who's a member of the IHC?"

"The what?" Raven asked.

"The International Hero Commission." Montgomerie explained.

"Oh. If you tell me that Willis Todd is a member, I'm going to storm their headquarters and beat his ass!"

"Good luck." Montgomerie Said. "How do you expect to get to space, into a place where Quirks don't work?"

"What?"

"Yeah. Once you step through the airlock doors, Your Quirk is shut off and you can't use it until you're back on the ship back home... or doing a spacewalk. Not even my overpowered Quirk can get up there."

"Then summon him while he's on earth!" Touya shouted.

"I can't! If I try to use my Quirk on a Commission Member, I'll die!"

"Why? How?"

"They planted a tracker in us, so they know where we are and what we're doing."

Touya looked at Hawks who looked horrified.

"You're a plant?" Rogue asked.

"Yes. They've been listening to everything I've said. Once they listen to the recording, I'm as good as..." before she could finish Montgomerie's head exploded.

When Bakugo came to, He was lying face down on the ground. He tried to push himself up but fell down when he put pressure on his hand; the pain was so intense.

He pushed himself to his knees and stood up, looking around he saw the devastation.

He saw his parents on the ground. "Hag!" He shouted. "Dad! Get up!"

His parents stirred, but when they looked at him, he knew that they had concussions; he'd seen that look on Dek... Izuku's face too many times to count. "Come on! Get up! We need to get back to U.A.!"

"Are your parents out of it?" The Sludge Villain asked. "I can make the pain go away."

"Fuck off," Bakugo said in a broken Voice. "Just fuck off."

"I can't do that, but I can make the pain go away, don't worry, it will all be over soon."

Bakugo thought back over the years and realized that he deserved this. He bullied and tormented people, especially Dek... Izuku. He was going to die alone... fuck that. He clenched his hands into fists, ignoring the pain and turned around. "DIE!" he shouted, creating an explosion that made him pass out.

Froppy was shivering in the cold of the Water Plant. "Are you okay Froppy?" Neptune asked, concerned.

"I'm c-c-cold." She spoke.

Neptune pulled an emergency blanket out of his utility belt and wrapped it around her. "Let us wait outside."

The group went outside to wait... Froppy sneezed.

Denki fell to the floor and puked.

"Take a Break Kid," Volt Said. "I'll take it from here," he grabbed the wires and pumped electricity through the power plant, powering Musutafu until the repair crew got there.

Trick Shot was fighting criminals, firing only wounding shots, when he saw Johnny disappear in a blink. "What the fuck? Where did he go!"

"I don't know!" Paladin shouted. "But this means that we don't need to worry about him killing again!"

"What if he was right?" Tech Support asked. "I hacked into the Hero Commission, and something is wonky!"

"How the fuck did you hack the Hero Commission?" Paladin asked.

"It's adorable that you think I wasn't already hacking into them. I found a hit list for some U.A. Students."

"Who?" Tenya asked.

"Jason Haywood, Johnny Blaze, Anna Marie Darkhölme, and Izuku Midoriya."

"Those are my classmates!"

"Seriously? What did your classmates do to make the Hero Commissions shit list?"

"I don't know!"

"Guy's!" Firetrap shouted. "Sebastian is kicking those guy's asses!" She pointed at the group that Johnny had been fighting and they watched as Sebastian took on the group that had given Johnny trouble.

"Holy shit!" Trick Shot and Paladin shouted in unison.

Rogue picked up Jason and carried him back to the Infirmary, feeling him shivering with Phantom Pain. She wanted to break the ones responsible so badly.

Touya looked at the corpses on the floor. Something didn't feel right.

"Am I going to explode?" Hawks asked, horrified.

"Not so Long As you stay here." Nedzu said, typing something into his computer. "I've activated one of the school's defenses. You are now in the world's largest Faraday cage."

"Did Montgomerie's death seem a little suspicious?" Touya asked. "Or was that just me? I feel like it was suspicious."

"How?" Raven asked. "The Hero Commission blew her head off."

"Yes, but why would the Hero Commission do that? Why not just wait for us to accuse them and then deny it. Show us nice facilities, do the whole gaslighting bullshit that we then have to prove is them gaslighting? As much as I hate to say it, Endeavor is… was smarter than that, mostly. Are you saying that a former Hero was smarter than the whole of the Hero Commission? It doesn't make sense. Also, if Montgomerie's Quirk is Summoning Creation, couldn't she have created a copy of her to kill? Like an exact replica?"

Nedzu looked at Touya. "I think you have a point Young Touya."

"Damn." Montgomerie Said. "I was hoping that would have taken you longer." She stood up and her head regrew.

"So, I don't have a Bomb in my head?" Hawks asked.

"No. I was hoping that you would have seen that and taken on the Hero Commission."

"Making you a Martyr." Nedzu said.

"Yes."

"We're taking on the Hero Commission." Raven said. "No one, and I mean no one messes with our kids."

"The wench is right, the Hero Commission shall feel our bite!" Etrigan said.

"The hell did you call me!" Raven demanded.

"You heard me wench."

Johnny walked over to Etrigan and punched him in the face, knocking him through a wall. "Sorry Nedzu Sensei." Johnny bowed.

"Don't worry Young Blaze. I needed to remodel anyway."

Johnny walked through the hole Etrigan made and stepped on his throat. "Call Raven a wench again, and I'll Penance Stare you! You may be immortal, but I'm sure that you'd feel that."

"And I would take you with me you insignificant little flea!"

Johnny took his foot off of Etrigan's throat and walked back into Nedzu's office. "So, what Are we going to do about the commission's targets on our backs?"

"Marie?" Raven asked when she saw Rogue walking back into the room looking exhausted.

Rogue placed Jason on a bed in Recovery Girl's office and ran a finger across his forehead. She got a wave of memories that made her feel sick. "Oh god! Jason!"

"The thing he needs now, is rest." Recovery Girl Said.

"Would a rundown of what happened to him help you with his recovery?"

"Yes. Can you give me one?"

"Yes." Rogue said as she began explaining what torture Jason had had to endure.

Recovery Girl grew more and more pale the more Rogue told her what Jason had endured. How had a child endured so much pain? How was he still alive?"

"Coming through!" A voice shouted.

Masaru Bakugo ran in with Bakugo in his arms, his wife by his side, and Honjō using her Quirk on Bakugo on his other side. Bakugo's arms ended in stumps where his hands should have been.

"I'm sorry!" Honjō cried. "I tried to repair his hands, but there's only so much my Quirk can do!"

"Is there anyone else injured?" Recovery Girl asked.

"Move!" Another voice shouted as Neptune brought Froppy in and placed her on a bed. "Her body is shutting down!"

"I'm sorry!" Anna and Elsa shouted in unison. "We froze the Water Plant and Tsu didn't tell us that she was too cold until it was too late!"

Rogue took Tsu and placed her next to Jason.

Tsu curled into the warmth of Jason's body and the others looked at Rogue.

"How did you know to do that?" Neptune asked.

"Some assholes tried flash freezing her and she stuck to Jason to absorb his warmth."

"I hope that works."

"She needs to slowly bring her body temperature up," Recovery Girl explained. "Too quickly and it will not help her."

"Right." Rogue said.

Anna looked around and Saw Bakugo. When she saw his hands, she ran out of the room and bolted for the Support classroom.

"I need help Here!" Another voice Said.

"What happened?" Recovery Girl asked when Volt brought Denki in.

"I was using the emergency to help him train and he pushed himself too hard." Volt explained. "I brought him here as soon as the repair team arrived."

"Place him on a bed."

Volt placed Denki on a bed and Rogue walked over to him.

"I'm sorry dearie, but I need you to leave," Recovery Girl Said. "That goes for the rest of you..." she looked at Bakugo's. "I'm so sorry, but for now, I need space to work, I'll have Honjō come get you when I have news for you."

Rogue left the room followed by the Bakugo's, Elsa, Neptune, and Volt.

Rogue made her way to Nezu's office and walked into her mom. She hugged her mom and started crying.

"Rogue!" Raven yelled. "What's wrong?"

"Jason was tortured so brutally! Tsu is suffering from exposure to the cold! Bakugo's hands were taken from him! And Denki is passed out from overusing his Quirk! I hate whoever planned this!" She shouted.

Raven held Rogue while she cried. She hated whoever had done this to her baby girl.

Anna ran into the Support Classroom. "DO YOU HAVE PROSTHETICS FOR SOMEONE LIKE BAKUGO!?" She asked.

"What?" Kristoff and Mei asked.

"You know how Bakugo has those gauntlets that store his sweat, and he can create insane explosions?"

"Yes."

"Can you make hands like that for Bakugo?"

"What happened?" Kristoff asked.

"Bakugo lost his hands somehow, and I want to know if you can make Prosthetics that do the same thing as his gauntlets."

"I would need to contact the company who made his Hero Costume to get permission to build those or to see if they can build them." Mei explained. "I'm sorry, but that would technically fall under the modification clause in their contract."

"Screw the contract!"

"No!" Mei said sternly. "I know how difficult it is to make your own babies. I'm not going to step on someone else's toes. On another note. I have these." She held up a pair of hands. "These are some perfected prototypes I made. Morph Gauntlets. They adapt to whoever's Quirk they happen to be attached to. They should work until I can get into contact with Bakugo's costume company."

"Thank you, Mei!" Anna hugged her, taking the gauntlets, and hugged Kristoff before kissing him and ran for Recovery Girl's Office.

"I didn't know you two were together." Mei told Kristoff, with a smile.

Kristoff blushed and went back to work.

Anna ran into Recovery Girl's Office. "I'm sorry for barging in, but I got these from Mei in Support. She says that they are perfect prototype Morph Gauntlets. They should be able to replace Bakugo's hands until he can get Prosthetics made That will replace his hands."

Recovery Girl looked from Anna to the gauntlets to Bakugo back to Anna. She took the gauntlets and placed them on Bakugo's stumps where they seemed to come alive and wrap around his stumps until you wouldn't have been able to tell he had Prosthetics except for the silver of the gauntlets. "Thank you." She spoke. "But I need you to leave so Honjō and I can get back to work."

"Okay." Anna said, leaving the office.

Once she was in the hallway, all the emotions she had felt came crashing down on her and she slid against the wall, crying.

The Sludge Villain was somewhere Dark and cramped. He could move, but it wasn't comfortable, and he couldn't see.

There was a crack, and he was weightless for a second before he fell.

There was a splash, and he was underwater. He tried getting to the surface, but all he could see was a figure wearing a gaudy suit and a mask.

There was too much water for him to stay together. He was going to die. He was going to die, and it terrified him.

Compress looked down into the water as the Slime Villain began to dissolve. It was a fitting end. When he saw the boy use his explosive Quirk to protect his family and blow his hands off, he knew that he needed to intervene.

The Slime Villain had reformed and was about to take the boy When Compress stepped in and captured the villain in one of his orbs.

He may be classified as a villain, but he was a villain with a moral code that he wouldn't break.

He walked away as the Slime Villain finally dissolved in water. He hoped that the boy lived. He'd wrapped the injuries as best as he could, but there were some wounds that couldn't be healed.

The Next Day.

Nedzu watched his computer screen as the news reported that Musutafu was now running on emergency power and in desperate need of cleaning up. He wiped his face. "How did this happen?" He asked.

"I do not know Sensei." All Might Said, his face in his hands. "We're going to need to help rebuild this city. It's what Heroes do."

"Yes, yes. We need to be strong and stand together as we rebuild the city."

"I will go. The city needs to see its Symbol of Peace."

"I'll go too." Hawks said.

"Me too." Touya said.

"We can help." Rogue said while Johnny nodded.

"No. Thank you, but with the Hero Commission after you, the safest place for you is here."

"Fuck that!" Johnny shouted. "If the Hero Commission wants us, they can try to take us, but this is our city, and it's going to take more that some old geezers with their thumbs up their asses to scare us away!"

"Right." Rogue said. "We can help. Please, let us help."

"We'll stick together," Anna and Elsa said in unison. "All five of us. They can't take all five of us at once, can they?"

"I'll watch over them," Touya said.

"Same Here," Raven added.

"Plus, I need to find my parents." Johnny said.

"We're right Here." Barton and Clara walked inside Nezu's office with Tenya and Tensei.

"We'll keep an eye on them." Tensei said.

"Very well." Nedzu agreed. "We're training you to be Heroes, so go be Heroes."

The group looked at each other and smiled. "Let's be Heroes." They spoke.

Summary:

Jason and Bakugo go to Therapy.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

"I want to see you here tomorrow talking with Hound Dog or Black San about this. If you don't, I will expel you and Asui."

Jason woke up in pain, phantom pain, but still in pain. He looked at the wall clock and saw that it was Saturday. He needed to get to Black Sensei's office. He got up and swung his feet over the side of the bed. He stood up and fell but was caught by something.

"Jathon?" Tsu asked. "Are yu okay?"

"I need to see Black Sensei." Jason wheezed out, hating how weak he sounded.

"I think thath Aithawa Thenthei will gib you a bweak thinth what happeneb, happeneb."

"I can't take that risk, not with you being expelled on the line. I need to get to Black Sensei even if I have to crawl all the way there."

"I'll help you." Tsu said, placing Jason's arm over her shoulders. She half carried, half dragged Jason to the counselor's offices and Black Sensei's office before she knocked.

Jean opened the door to her office and saw Tsu holding Jason.

"What's going on?" She asked urgently and calmly.

"I need to talk to you, so Aizawa Sensei won't expel Tsu." Jason gasped out, obviously in pain.

"No, you need to get back to Recovery Girl for bed rest. I'll talk to Aizawa, and he won't expel Tsu."

"I just want to get this over with." Jason sighed.

"Okay." Jean Said. "Only on one condition."

Jason looked at her with eyes that didn't belong on him. Eyes that cried out in anguish.

"I want you to listen to everything that I say, take what I tell you to heart."

"Okay." Jason wheezed from pain and exertion.

Jean moved and let Jason inside.

"Please, wait outside Tsuyu," Jean said.

"Yes, Black Sensei," Tsu Said, walking outside to wait.

"Jason," Jean said. "Do you want to tell me what's wrong, or show me what's wrong?"

"Just look inside my head," Jason wheezed. "I don't think I could talk for very long and I just want this to be over."

Jean looked inside Jason's mind and was horrified when she came out. What she saw, what had been done to him. She needed to call Nedzu as soon as she was done with Jason.

"Jason. You do know that none of what was done to you was your fault, right?"

"Yeah." Jason said.

"Jason. It wasn't your fault."

"I know." Jason wheezed out.

"It wasn't your fault, Jason."

"I know." Jason gasped.

"Jason. Everything that you've gone through. None of it was your fault."

Jason looked at Jean and she saw his eyes shine with tears.

"I know." He shuddered.

"All the pain and suffering you've endured. It wasn't you fault. You didn't have any control over those situations. It wasn't your fault."

Tears slid down Jason's cheeks. "I know." He spoke.

"You're a child. None of what has happened to you has been your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault."

Jason's composure shattered and he curled into the fetal position sobbing. Jean ran over and held him while he cried. "I know!" Jason sobbed. "I know!"

Jean held Jason and let him cry, after who knew how long he'd pent up everything. He needed this. "It's okay." Jean Soothed. "It's okay. You're going to be okay."

Tsuyu was sitting outside of Black Sensei's office when Bakugo walked in and knocked on the door to Hound Dog's office. His hands were silver, and he was much more demure than normal.

Hound Dog opened the door and motioned Bakugo inside.

Tsuyu was waiting when she heard Jason start crying. "I know!" She heard through the door. "I know!" She pulled her legs to her chest and felt tears burn the corners of her eyes. It hurt her to see Jason like this and she didn't know why. She did like Jason? Like, Like-Like him? She always viewed herself as a very blunt person, so things like this tended to sneak up on her.

The door opened and Black Sensei walked out. "Tsuyu. Would you please sit with Jason while I go talk with Nedzu Sensei?"

"Yes, Kero, Kero," Tsuyu Said, walking into Black Sensei's office and sat by Jason. She could feel the warmth rolling off him and deciding to leech some of it, lay down next to him.

Jean walked into Nedzu Sensei's Office and saw the mess. "Nedzu Sensei. I know that we are in the middle of a crisis, but I have a report on Jason."

"What do you have on Young Haywood?" Nedzu asked.

"I know what he went through while kidnapped and who kidnapped him. We can charge them with kidnapping, assault, sexual assault, and attempted murder."

"Sexual assault?" Nedzu asked, his temper flaring in his eyes. "Someone sexually assaulted young Haywood?"

"I'm not sure what else you would call using a bolt gun on his genitals!" Jean snapped.

Nedzu's eyes roared to life with rage as he began typing. "Let us get to work!" He hissed. "They will be in prison by the end of the day!"

Jean sat down with Nedzu, and they looked through facial recognition to find the people responsible.

Bakugo was sitting in Hound Dog's office and looked up at Hound Dog.

"You don't have to talk until you're ready to." Hound Dog Said.

"I uh... I ran into the Slime Villain." Bakugo Said, rubbing the Prosthetic hands he'd woken up with together. "I ran into him while going home with my parents. I led him away and thought I stopped him, but I didn't. Then I hurt my wrists trying to stop him, but that didn't stop him, and only left me with broken wrists... like... like Dek... like Izuku. It left me with broken bones like Izuku."

Hound Dog noticed that Bakugo was completely different than the last sessions they'd had. He was meek and humble.

"I thought it was done, but he came back. My parents, they had... they had concussions. They couldn't leave, I was the only one there, and I had two broken wrists."

Trauma tended to humble a person, even one as ill-tempered as Bakugo.

"I thought if I put everything I had into one blast, at least my parents, at least they could get away."

Hound Dog nodded but felt anger well up inside him. A student had been forced to mutilate himself to try and survive.

"When I came to, there was a guy in a shitty mask patching me up. He was wrapping my wrists up, and I couldn't feel my hands. I couldn't feel my hands." Bakugo hated himself at how weak he sounded and that he was crying.

Hound Dog handed him a box of Kleenex and waited for him to continue.

"I couldn't feel my hands and this shitty Hero was wrapping my arms. He told my parents to take me to a doctor and they brought me back here. I woke up this morning with..." he held up the silver hands. "...with these."

"Bakugo. May I put my hands on you?" Hound Dog asked.

Bakugo nodded shakily.

Hound Dog knelt in front of Bakugo and placed his hand on his shoulders. "This does not define you. You can still be a Hero. With the advances they've made in medicine and the advances they've made with Hero technology, this doesn't have to stop you. You can still be a Hero. You can be a Hero."

Bakugo looked up at Hound Dog with tear filled eyes. "I can?" he asked in a voice that made the anger boil over into rage.

"Yes, and you'll be an amazing Hero. Let this guide you into the Hero you want to be."

"I want to be a Hero who's strong."

"Then be a Hero who's strong." Hound Dog Said.

Bakugo looked at his hands before looking at Hound Dog. "How do you be strong?"

"That's for you to decide. Go find your path, I'll be here if you need to talk about anything."

Bakugo looked at the clock and saw that his time was up. It was strange how time seemed to fly by when he wasn't paying attention.

Tsuyu woke up when she heard Jason having a nightmare, and she dove out of the way.

"No." Jason said. "No, stop. No! No! Stop! Please! No! Don't!" Jason woke up screaming and bolted up, creating a gun and looked around. He saw Tsu and made the gun disappear before he sat down on the couch; slowly.

"Are you okay Jason? Kero, Kero."

"No." Jason said in a raspy voice before he moved his arms around his body as if checking it for injuries.

Tsuyu turned away when she saw him reaching for his crotch to offer him some privacy.

Jason wrapped his arms around himself as if he was cold. "It's called Phantom Pains." Jason explained. "When the body goes through trauma it can sometimes feel the pain while it's healing."

"You're feeling Phantom Pain now, Kero, Kero."

"Yeah." Jason gasped. "I haven't felt this bad in a long time." He gasped and put his face in his hands offering whatever nonexistent god was up there his firstborn child to make the pain go away.

"Can you take pain killers, Kero, Kero?"

"No. It's not Physical pain. Pain killers won't work. Maybe sleeping pills, but..." Jason groaned as he was wracked with fresh pain. "...I hate taking sleeping pills."

Tsu hugged him and the pain went down marginally. "I'm sorry. What did they do to you?"

"They used bolt guns to break my bones and..." Jason gulped. "...other things."

Tsu swallowed and hugged him. "I'm sorry."

Jason shivered and gasped. "This sucks."

Tsu nodded.

Hisashi, Inko, and Eri were walking from the Midoriya apartment, heading for U.A., Hisashi and Inko swinging Eri in between them. They had just set Eri down when a man wearing a plague doctor mask walked out of an alleyway. "Let's Go Eri!" He demanded.

Eri froze and Inko looked at the man.

"Eri, what's wrong?"

"He's the bad man." Eri wheezed. "It's the bad man. The man who hurt Jason's mom."

Hisashi stepped in front of Inko and Eri. "Leave." He snapped. "Leave us alone."

"Fine. I'll just take Eri!" The man roared. The man was pulled forward as Inko pulled on his mask and Hisashi blew out a gout of fire that caught the man off guard. The man ran through the fire, screaming and reached for Hisashi.

*KA-THOOOM!*

The ground in front of them cratered and a green glow appeared from the dust with twin green eyes infused with rage and sparks of green electricity. A familiar voice called out. "It's fine now, why?" Wind blew the dust cloud to reveal Izuku. "BECAUSE I AM HERE!"

The man glared at Izuku. "Who are you!" He demanded.

"The Next Symbol of Peace! DEKU!!!!!"

"Careful!" Eri yelled. "He breaks things he touches!"

Izuku's eyes glowed neon toxic green as green lightning ran across his body. "Are you the one who hurt Eri?"

"You can't hurt a commodity." The man spat. "That's all she is! She's only useful to destroy Hero society!"

Izuku took a breath to calm himself. "Under the authority of All Might, You're Under Arrest!"

"A Hero can't Arrest me! I'll just kill you all and take Eri back."

Eri gripped Inko's skirt and tried hiding.

Hisashi walked up to join Izuku and held his breath until smoke began coming out of his nose. Izuku held his breath and together him and his father blasted fire, orange and purple with green lightning respectively, towards the man. The man ran and Izuku blasted a pulse of One for All in the direction he was running. He ran the other way, and Izuku blasted another blast of energy in the direction. The man touched the ground, and it was destroyed. When he looked up, they were all gone. In their place stood All Might.

"I believe my sidekick said that you were under arrest, Villain."

"You can't Arrest me!" The man shrieked.

"Actually, we can." Izuku said, Rolling his shoulder out. "You threatened civilians and committed murder."

"And if you're the villain named Overhaul..." All Might Said. "...we're trying to arrest you for your own safety. The child of the woman you murdered wants revenge. If he kills you then we'll have to arrest him."

"Do you have any idea how many people I've killed?" The man asked, trying to intimidate the Heroes. "That doesn't narrow it down at all."

All Might and Izuku were filled with rage at that confession.

Overhaul slapped his hands on the ground and let his Quirk destroy the road.

"HEY!" A Voice shouted as the owner of the voice flew down and crashed into Overhaul. "You're going to pay for what you did to Eri and Sheila! You want a cure! I'll give you a fucking cure! I'm gonna take your Quirk!"

Overhaul groaned as he felt his Quirk pulled from his body by the girl's Quirk. He felt himself grow weak until he couldn't stand. He gripped her hand trying to kill her, but his Quirk wasn't responding. He couldn't use his Quirk!

"Hey! Johnny!" She shouted. Throwing Overhaul at him. "CATCH!"

Johnny caught Overhaul and looked into his eyes as his skin melted away, leaving the Rider in his place. "Your Soul is stained with the blood of the innocent! Look into my eyes and feel their PAIN!!!!!"

Overhaul screamed out in pain as he was forced to live through all the pain, he'd ever caused everyone he'd ever killed or tortured.

All Might and Izuku watched Rogue and Johnny take Overhaul's Quirk and kill him.

Johnny dropped down and walked over to All Might. "He's not dead, but he wishes he were."

All Might looked at Overhaul. He should feel pity for the man, but he couldn't bring himself to pity a man who had caused so much pain.

Overhaul shivered, but nothing he did would ever stop the torment his soul would suffer for eternity.

Willis Todd appeared in a room with a single man surrounded by life support Systems.

"Todd San." The man said. "We have much to talk about."

The city took a month to rebuild, and before long, classes at U.A. restarted.

Chapter 28: Hero Names

Summary:

Class 1A decides on Hero Names. Meanwhile, in an Alternate Universe. A new threat emerges.

Notes:

Happy Valentines Day Y’all.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

AN: I have been waiting to write this chapter for a while. Enjoy.

After the Attack on the Sports Festival security was increased around U.A. Principle Nedzu and the teachers didn't want to take any more chances.

Principle Nedzu and All Might called in favors to increase security.

It took a month for the city to get back on its feet after the attack on the sports Festival. We were all given temporary Hero status to help get the city up and running.

We thought that after the sports Festival, that would be the end of the attacks on Students... how Naïve we were.

Class 1-A walked into their homeroom after the month long Hiatus and began chattering.

The door opened and Jason walked in.

"Jason!" Kirishima shouted. "Are you okay dude? We heard that you'd been kidnapped!"

"Yeah. I'm doing better now. It was rough though. We can talk more later. Hurry and sit down before Aizawa Sensei shows up."

The Class sat down and were waiting quietly when Aizawa Sensei walked in.

"It would appear that the temporary Hero work was good for your discipline." Aizawa Sensei Said when he walked in. "Haywood. I need to talk to you."

Jason walked out of the classroom with Aizawa. "Sensei?" He asked.

"I need to apologize. I thought that ignoring the order to talk to Black San would have been clear after you were taken. I should have talked to you and Black San to let you know that it had been postponed."

"Did Black Sensei chew you out?" Jason asked.

"She gave me an earful, yes, but that's not what's important. I forced your hand back during the Sports Festival Because you were in danger of hurting yourself and potentially others. It was irrational the way you were acting. I'm sorry for putting you in that situation."

"It's Fine Sensei. I have very little self-preservation instinct and tend to care more about others than I do myself. I understand why you did what you did."

"Talk to Black San. She'll help you with that, but for now, get back to class."

"Thank you, Sensei." Jason said as he walked back into class.

"Now." Aizawa said, walking into the classroom. "I have some announcements. First, I know that you've seen our new students." He motioned to Himiko and Shinso. "I'll let them introduce themselves."

Toga stood up and looked around the class. "Hey guys, gals, and non-binary pals! I'm officially a student now. I hope to work with you, stab lots of assholes, and drink lots of blood."

"May you die as you live Toga!" Johnny said. "Stabbing!"

The class laughed and Aizawa cleared his throat to get their attention and to try not to laugh at the mildly amusing joke.

"My name is Hitoshi Shinso. I'm here to become a Hero, not make friends."

"Izuku! Anna! Friendship powers, activate!" Johnny yelled.

Aizawa's eyes glowed red and his hair and capture scarf floated in the air. "I know that we've spent the last month doing Hero work to get the city back into order, and I know that some of you have Hero names, but today we will be coming up with Hero names. I hope this last month has given you a taste of what I was trying to tell you at the beginning of the school year. Life isn't fair. If it was then the city wouldn't have needed saving. Since I'm not good at this kind of thing I've brought in some help."

The door opened and Midnight Sensei strutted in.

"Meanwhile I'll be taking a nap." Aizawa said, holding up his sleeping bag.

"Now!" Midnight Said. "Who has a Hero name that they used in the field over the last month?"

Anna, Elsa, Tsuyu, and Denki walked up to the front of the classroom.

"What are your Hero names?" Midnight asked.

"Naiad: The Water Sprite!" Anna cheered.

"Yuki Onna: The Ice Queen," Elsa Said.

"Froppy: The Rainy Season Hero. Kero, Kero," Tsuyu said.

"Chargebolt: The Stun Gun Hero," Denki Said.

"Those are great names!" Midnight cheered. "Do you want to make any changes? These will likely be permanent."

"No," The Heroes in training said in unison.

"Excellent! Now. The rest of you will be coming up with Hero names. Take these white boards and take some time to come up with Hero names. I'll stop you when it's time to share your names."

The class took white boards and got to work.

"Hey Deku." Uraraka Said. "What's your Hero Name going to be?"

"Don't use Deku as a Hero Name." Jason said. "I know that you changed it to mean "you can do it!" But if you're going to use a Hero name that means "You can Do it!" Then use the actual "Dekiru"."

"Dekiru: the little Dragon that could!" Anna Squealed.

"That's your Hero Name!" Midnight Squealed, pointing her whip at Izuku. "Your Hero Name from now on is Dekiru: The Dragon!"

Izuku blushed as he tried hiding his face in his hands.

"It fits." Johnny Said.

"Yeah, it Does." Rogue agreed.

"What's Your Name going to be hon?" Rogue asked Jason.

Jason wrote something on his board before showing them.

Red Hood: The U.A. Knight

"That fits too." Johnny said. "After you Became Himiko and Eri's knight in Shinso armor."

"Fuck shiny armor." Jason said. "Shiny means that you never see battle. My armor is scuffed to hell and back."

"Language, Haywood." Midnight Said.

"Sorry Sensei."

"Get back to work. You don't have all day. We still have things to do."

They worked until Midnight told them to start coming up to share their Hero names.

Yuga went up first and showed his name.

*I can't stop shining! *

"Try again." Midnight Said.

The Class got to Izuku who walked up to the front of the classroom and showed his name:

Dekiru: The Dragon

Anna and Midnight squealed out, "Dekiru: The Little Dragon Who Could!"

Izuku blushed and practically ran back to his seat.

Mina got up and held her white board up:

Pinky: The Alien Queen

"Try again." Midnight Said. "You don't want people thinking that you are going to cause aliens to burst from their chest."

"Ohh!" Mina whined as she made her way back to her seat.

It got to Jason's turn, and he held his white board up:

Red Hood: The U.A. Knight

"All right!" Kaminari Said. "We've got a Knight and a dragon in our class! This is gonna be awesome!"

"Well done." Midnight Said.

Jason sat down and it was Toga's turn. Toga walked up to the front of the room and showed her Hero name:

Elisabet Bathory: Blood Countess

"Try again." Midnight Said. "We don't Need civilians thinking that you're going to bath in their blood."

Himiko growled as she walked back to her seat.

Eventually it was Rogues turn and she walked to the front of the room and showed her Hero name:

Raven the Rogue

"Interesting name." Midnight Said.

"Thanks." Rogue said as she sat down, and Johnny stood up. He walked to the front of the room and showed his Hero name:

Zarathos: The Bounty Hunter

"Mysterious." Midnight Said.

"Thank you, Ma'am." Johnny said, sitting down.

Shinso walked to the front of the room and showed his name:

Mind Trick: The Jedi Hero

"That might be Copyrighted, so you might have to change it." Midnight said.

"Too Bad. This name is mine, and I'd like to see them stop me."

"I love it!" Midnight shouted.

They went through the rest of the names until they got back to Yuga:

Shining Hero: Can't stop Twinkling

Midnight sighed. "You can't give up on this line of thinking, can you?"

"Non, a Hero such as I deserve a name befitting of me, no?"

"Fine."

"Sensei!" Mina shouted. "Does that mean I can stay Pinky: The Alien Queen?"

"Fine. Himiko, you need to change though."

"Fine." Himiko pouted, walking up to the front of the class she showed her name:

Mircalla: The Blood Countess

"It's Better than Elisabet Bathory."

Himiko skipped to her seat and sat down. She looked over at Jason who looked at her with a Really? Look on his face.

Himiko smiled.

"Now that that's taken care of." Aizawa said, crawling out of his sleeping bag. "We have other things to take care of." He pulled out folders, some bulging while others looked unused. "Come get your internship invites when I call your name."

The class had been given their stacks of Internship invites, some had been given a list of Heroes who helped interns who hadn't received any invites.

Mina, Karishima, Himiko, Shinso, Aoyama, Shoji, Koda, Jiro, Hagekure Sato, had received these.

"WHY!" Mina sobbed loudly. "Why Didn't we get invites!"

some had been given a one invite.

Kaminari had been given an invite from Volt, and Anna and Elsa had been given invites to Neptune.

Some got less than five.

Henta and Tokoyami had been given a small folder of invites.

Some got less than twenty.

Momo, Rogue, Johnny, Tenya, and Tsu had gotten anywhere from six to twenty invites.

Jason, Izuku, Shoto, Uraraka, and Ojiro had been given so many invites it wasn't worth counting.

"So, who Are you going with?" Johnny asked Jason.

Jason slid an invite to Johnny.

"Seriously?" Johnny asked. "You're going with him?"

"I'm going to be an underground Hero. Might as well."

"Sure, but still."

Rogue looked over his shoulder and laughed. You guys are going to kill each other."

"Then I guess that this is goodbye." Jason snarked. "Remember me How I was, an asshole."

"We'll give you a nice Eulogy." Anna said. "Elsa will build you an eternal winter mausoleum."

"I'll take your blood and make you a myth and a legend." Himiko said.

"I have such good friends." Jason wiped a faux tear away.

"You guys are insane." Mina laughed.

"No, we're just fun." Jason said.

They started laughing and Jason looked around. "So, who Are you going with?"

Johnny, Rogue, and Izuku showed their invites.

"Of course, Izuku is going to intern with All Might." Anna laughed.

"He'd be bat shit if he didn't!" Jason said.

"I'm going with Miruko." Rogue slid an invite in front of them.

"Think you can take a beating from her?" Jason asked. "I was wearing my armor and felt her kick."

"Yeah. I'm sure." Rogue said.

"I'm going to be working with Gang Orca." Johnny Said. "My Quirk makes me Look demonic. I want to know what I'm going to be dealing with when I get out into the world of Heroics."

"That's fair." Jason Said.

"Hey, where are the rest of you going?" Anna asked.

"With my brother and his agency." Tenya said.

"I'm either going with Neptune or Selkie. Kero, Kero," Tsu Said.

"With Hawks." Tokoyami Said.

"A Fire Quirk User, hopefully. Maybe Hawks if I can ask Touya to help." Shoto said.

Everyone looked at Shoto.

"What?" Shoto asked.

"Nothing," Kirishima said. "It's Just, you tend to keep to yourself."

"Oh, I guess I did."

"Do you want to hang out?"

"I think I do. My family says that I need friends."

"Let's go to the Arcade after School!" Mina shouted. "Have you ever played Dance Dance Revolution?"

"No."

"You're going to love it!"

"Okay."

"I'm debating between Miruko and Gunhead." Ochako Said.

"Do Miroku Hon." Rogue said. "We can train together."

"Maybe I should train with Gunhead and bring back what I learn so we can train together when I get back?"

"That's a good idea." Jason said.

"Do you Even need This?" Rogue asked.

"I need more sparring Partners on My Level." Jason Smiled. "Izuku is the only one who is even close to my level."

"Wait till we get back sugar." Rogue said in a voice so full of Venom that it sent a shiver down Jason's back.

"Dude," Johnny Said. "I think that you're going to die when we get back from our internships."

"Probably." Jason smiled.

"I'm going to ask Vlad Sensei." Himiko Said. "He has a blood based Quirk."

"Nice." Jason said.

"I didn't get a choice." Shinso said. "I only had two names on my paper."

"Who?"

"Dad-Zawa and Mama-Joke."

"Oof!" Johnny said.

"Tell me about it."

"I guess we're going to be training together." Jason said.

"Who are you Training Under."

"Eraser."

Shinso gave Jason a bored Look.

"I'm going to train under Midnight or Uwamabi." Momo Said.

Jiro looked saddened that she couldn't join Momo.

The rest of the day was spent with the students looking at their papers and eventually it was time for them to head home.

Meanwhile. In another universe. Universe 3.

A man wearing a forest green suit, with dark green hair, and a respirator with a horrifying smile painted on it and looked at what had once been Aldera Junior High.

A teacher pinned under debris reached out as if asking for help.

The man twitched and the teacher's head rolled to the ground. He looked around at the Hero he'd restrained and smiled under the respirator. Walking over to the Hero he took in a breath. "What do you think of our old School... Kacchan?" The man asked.

Bakugo's face went pale. "Izuku?" He asked.

"All for One now." The man said. "Turns out I inherited his Quirk, but it didn't activate until I took that Swan Dive off the roof."

"You just disappeared one day."

"Yes. The day you told me to jump off the roof and pray for a Quirk in the next life. Looks like I didn't need to pray. I got one, so, I suppose that I should thank you. Thank you, Bakugo... Or should I call you King Explosion Murder?"

"I know I fucked up Izuku. I'm sorry."

"Ah, yes. Now that I have a powerful Quirk, you respect and fear me. Did you watch All Might fight my father?"

"What?" Bakugo asked. "All for One was your dad?"

"Yeah. He left after he found out I was 'Quirkless'. Bet it burned his ass when I used my Quirk to take his Quirk."

"You took your dad's Quirk?" Bakugo shuddered.

"Yes. I took his Quirk and killed him."

"You killed your own father!"

"It's adorable that you think Patricide is the worst crime I've ever committed. I'm the one who killed All Might after all."

Bakugo's jaw dropped in horror. "Y-y-you k-k-k-illed All Might?"

"Yes, yes, I did. I created the storm that struck his plane and killed him."

"HE WAS ON A PASSENGER JET! THERE WERE INNOCENT PEOPLE ON THAT PLANE!"

"You and I both know that they weren't innocent. They were people who hate the Quirkless. My goal is to not be a Hero. My dream is to protect the Quirkless... by killing the Quirked."

"NNOOO!" Bakugo roared. "You can take it out on me for bullying you, but don't do this! Don't kill all those people!"

"Really?" All for One purred. "You would pay for all wrongs against the Quirkless?"

"Yes! Just don't hurt the innocent."

"I don't plan on hurting the innocent. The Quirkless, those with "Villainous" Quirks. They are the innocent. They are the ones who have been targeted by those with Quirks. I will leave the Quirkless and those with "Villainous" Quirks alive and kill everyone else. We will begin a new world. One without the discrimination of the Quirked."

"It sounds like you traded your brains for that Quirk." Bakugo deadpanned.

"I know it sounds like that, but I have thought things through. I know what I am doing, but... if you can withstand the Quirk of my choice then I will rethink my plan."

"YES! Do it! Take your anger out on me!"

"Very well. The Quirk I choose is... 'Explosion'." All for One said, stealing Bakugo's Quirk as painfully as possible. "If you can withstand me using 'Explosion' on you for ten minutes, not only will I give you 'Explosion' back, but I won't kill everyone."

"Bring it." Bakugo said, determination burning in his eyes.

All for One spent the next ten minutes using 'Explosion' on Bakugo, and Bakugo withstood the pain with the determination of a Hero. "Well played Hero, well played. Here is your Quirk back."

Bakugo felt his Quirk forced back into his body, but something was wrong. He felt pressure building up in his body until it was painful.

"Oops." All for one said. "I gave you the wrong Quirk. I accidentally gave you a Quirk called 'Self-Destruct'. It's similar to 'Explosion', but different. I don't know if you can handle it. I can't wait to see what happens."

Bakugo looked at Izuku and cried as the pressure grew to unimaginable agony.

All for One created a shield as Bakugo exploded, sending body parts and other parts flying all over. Splashing against the shield. He placed his hands into his pockets and walked away with insane glee in his eyes. The world was his plaything, and he was only getting started.

Notes:

I’m going to try updating the next chapter on St. Patrick’s Day.

Chapter 29: Return to U.A.

Summary:

Jason, Himiko, Eri, and Izuku have to get back to U.A.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Jason, Izuku, and Himiko headed home. They had been allowed to go back home after Overhaul had been disabled. Jason had been a little miffed that he didn't get to kill Overhaul, but Overhaul was worse off than if Jason had killed him.

They walked into the Midoriya apartment. Eri ran to them and jumped, Jason caught her and hugged her before handing her to Himiko who hugged her and passed her to Izuku who hugged her and placed her on his shoulders.

"Hey kids." Hisashi Said. "Clean up and start on homework."

"Okay dad." Izuku said, giving Hisashi a hug.

Hisashi hugged him back.

Himiko hugged Hisashi Next and Jason sat at the table.

"Mom will be back soon." Hisashi said. "I'm making dinner."

Jason pulled out his homework and got started.

Himiko and Izuku started on their homework.

"How do you do this?" Himiko asked, clearly frustrated.

"Carry the seven and divide by three." Jason explained.

"That's not How Ectoplasm Sensei Said we're supposed to do it, and I can't remember how to do it."

Jason showed her how Ectoplasm wanted it done and how he did it, getting the same answer.

"How?!" Himiko asked.

"Different equations, same solutions."

"How did you know that?"

"I'm actually pretty smart, but I dumb it down by being a smart ass."

"Language." Hisashi Said. "You don't want to be the reason Eri picks up bad habits, do you?"

"No." Jason said as his phone chimed, and he looked at it. "Inko's home."

"How do you know that?" Hisashi asked.

"I made some Upgrades to the apartments security system."

"The apartment doesn't have a security system."

"Then I added a security system. Nothing too fancy: security cameras, scanners, tripwire tasers, and if they get inside..."

"Shut it off." Hisashi Said, a hint of fear in his voice. "Let Inko in."

"She's Fine," Jason explained, showing the different camera spectrums and scanners. "If it wasn't Inko, the cameras or scanners would see it, and the tripwires would activate. It's also on a different power source so that if someone manages to cut the power to the building the security system won't shut down."

"Okay." Hisashi Said. "Do I even want to know what happens if someone who isn't supposed to be inside the apartment happens to get inside?"

"They will regret their life." Jason said.

"What happens if it malfunctions?"

"In the VERY unlikely event that that happens, the house will shoot foam pellets that will harden the more the victim struggles, the beanbag guns will be deployed, the flashing light and alarms will go off, and a recording of Johnny as the Rider telling you that: your soul is stained with the blood of the innocent, look into my eyes and feel their pain!"."

Hisashi's eye twitched. "You installed all of that into our apartment?"

"Yeah. You think I'm going to let you adopt me, putting yourselves in danger, for my sake, and not repay you guys by giving you an upgraded security system to keep you guys protected?"

"It's just, we're planning on moving into a bigger apartment or a house."

"I'll just take the security system with us then."

"How?"

"The same way I put it in."

The door opened and Inko called out. "I'm home."

They walked to the front door to greet Inko who had a gift basket in one arm and a stack of files in the other arm. "The firm wanted to welcome me back with a gift basket," she said, handing said gift basket to Hisashi, "and some cases I could look through and pick the one that I want."

"Wow. It seems like they missed you." Izuku said.

"Your mom was one of the best Lawyers in all of Japan." Hisashi said. "People came from all over to ask her to defend them in court."

"Stop Hisashi," Inko blushed. "you're going to make me blush."

"Too late." Jason, Himiko, and Izuku said in unison.

Jason's phone chimed and he opened it to see Aizawa Sensei and Principal Nedzu coming up to their apartment and opened the door.

Shota walked through the halls of the apartment building the Midoriya's lived in with Nedzu riding in his capture weapon.

Nedzu had found something absolutely terrifying while investigating the Hero Commission that it made him want to raid the Hero Commission right then and there to keep his students safe, but the rat had a point. It was safer to move them back into U.A. And take the Hero Commission out when it was safe.

He knocked on the door to the Midoriya apartment and waited in a tense silence.

The door opened and Haywood stood in the doorway.

"May we come in?" Shota asked.

Haywood moved and Shota walked in. He saw Izuku, Toga, Eri, and Haywood on one side and a couple that had to be Midoriya's parents on the other side.

Midoriya Inko was a slight woman with green hair who wore a business suit that looked more expensive than Shota's apartment.

Midoriya Hisashi was a lean, sinewy man who looked like he could give as much as he took, and by that he meant that he looked like he could break Shota over his knee. The traitorous Nemuri in the back of his head asked how Inko had survived their wedding night he was so jacked. The traitorous Hizashi part of his brain asked how Izuku was this man's son he was so small.

"Pack up." He spoke. "You're moving back into U.A."

"What?" Inko asked. "They just moved back!"

"They Are moving back to U.A.," Aizawa explained.

"Why!" Both parents asked.

"We will explain at U.A.," Nedzu explained.

Jason came into a room with six bags. "Eri, come on."

Eri ran over to him and jumped into his arms.

"Come on Himiko." He spoke.

Himiko ran over to Jason and jumped onto his back.

Jason turned to Izuku. "I'll meet you guys at U.A."

"Right." Izuku said.

Jason ran out the door, through the halls, downstairs, and outside before he took off for a garage, and disappeared inside.

A group of five ran towards the garage and stopped. They heard a noise that only increased in decibels until it sounded like a jet engine.

The group dove out of the way as the garage door burst open and a black vehicle flew out before tearing through the streets of Musutafu and roared off towards U.A.

"We lost him sir! He's driving in a black... tank!"

"A tank huh?" The man said. "I've always wanted a Tank." He walked over to the map and watched as the tank made its way to U.A. "No, I'm sorry, but I can't let you get to U.A." He walked over to the door and jumped out.

Etrigan was watching Jason Blood's son as he made his way to U.A. A plane flew overhead, and a door opened as someone fell out. Etrigan jumped at the figure and caught him.

"You will leave Jason Blood's son be, or your entrails I will free!"

"I don't think so." The man said, as he flexed and broke Etrigan's grip.

Etrigan blew fire into the man's face and was thrown away.

Etrigan watched as the man plummeted towards Jason Blood's son.

The top of the vehicle opened, and Jason Blood's son jumped out and changed into Efreeti before grabbing the man and threw him to the ground.

He landed back in the cockpit and drove off.

The man stood up and brushed himself off before looking after the tank. He took off after the tank knowing he could follow it.

Shota and Nedzu watched as the Midoriya's gathered their things and got ready to leave.

They were getting ready to go when the door was kicked open and Hisashi yelled for them to get to the kitchen.

They ran for the kitchen, and they heard the Security system power up before going off.

They heard tasers go off before something liquid went off followed by people being hit by something, lights began flashing and alarms went off before Johnny's voice filled the apartment.

"Your Soul is stained with the blood of the innocent, look into my eyes and feel their PAIN!"

Shota looked at Hisashi who looked at him with an awkward smile. "Jason said that he added a security system." Hisashi explained.

"I'll have to have him add it to the U.A. Security system." Nedzu chuckled.

"Let's go!" Shota shouted, running out of the kitchen and towards the fire escape.

Izuku jumped out of the window and rolled down one level on the fire escape before flicking at the people climbing up the fire escape, sending them flying.

Shota caught them in his capture scarf and let them land softly so Izuku wouldn't get in trouble.

They got to the base of the fire escape and Shota looked at Izuku "Get to U.A.! We'll get your parents to U.A.!"

"Right." Izuku nodded as he used Black Whip to fling himself into the air.

"Hey kid." A feminine Voice said. "I'm the seventh holder for One for All. My Quirk is called Float. I want you to take my Quirk."

Izuku glowed and felt power surge before he felt his gravity leave his body and he was floating. "Whoa." He used Black Whip to launch himself toward U.A.

"Hey Kid." Hawks flew around him. "Want some company?"

"Hawks!?" Izuku said. "Sure. I wouldn't mind some company!"

"Then let's go." Hawks smiled as they flew towards U.A.

Izuku and Hawks were nearing U.A. When a voice called out to them.

"Hawks! Bring that child to the Commission! He needs to be brought under Commission control before he becomes a villain!"

"Fuck that!" Hawks shouted back. "Fuck the Commission! And fuck you!"

"Hawks. Don't make us use the collar."

Izuku saw Hawks tense and felt a furnace roar to life in his stomach.

"You can't threaten me like that!" Hawks shouted.

"Hawks! Don't you understand?! He and his friends are dangerous! They need to be brought under the Commissions control before they become Villains!"

"Why Are you so sure that they would be Villains when they are Training to be Heroes!"

"Power! Their kind of power corrupts! We wanted to get them away from their parents when they were younger, but we couldn't! We could have trained them properly if we'd gotten them when their Quirks first manifested, but now we have to play catch-up with them! If we wanted them to be Heroes instead of Villains, then we HAD to get them! That's why we had to kill Shiela Todd! She was going to let her son be a Villain if we hadn't!"

Izuku's eyes glowed toxic green when he heard those words. The Commission admitted to killing Haywood San? He felt the furnace burn hotter than anything he'd ever felt before and he let One for All consume him.

"ONE FOR ALL! ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!" He shouted as he powered up and crashed down on the Commission member.

The Commission Member, Kabataka Hirokura, smiled as Izuku Midoriya came crashing down towards him. He readied the Quirk Suppression collar and struck When he felt the impact, but something smacked his hand out of the way.

He jumped back, waiting to see who had done that when a familiar figure walked out of the smoke.

"So!" An enraged voice called out. "You killed Haywood's mom?! I'm going to make you pay for that... Villain!" Mirko snarled.

Johnny and his parents had gathered everything that they would have needed and drove to U.A.; outrunning everyone who had tried following them. It helped that they were on motorcycles, and they tore into U.A. As the wall came up, cutting off their pursuers.

They ran through the halls until they arrived at Nedzu's office where they found Anna, Elsa, Agnarr, and Iduna waiting for them, alongside Aizawa, Nedzu, Hisashi, and Inko.

"What the fuck's going on?" Johnny and Barton demanded in unison.

"We will Wait for Young Haywood, Young Toga, Young Eri, and Izuku." Nedzu explained.

"Where's Rogue and Raven?" Johnny asked.

"Right behind ya sugar." Rogue said.

There was a knock on the window and Aizawa opened the door for Hawks and a struggling, absolutely livid, Izuku.

"Midoriya!" Aizawa shouted, grabbing him and negating his Quirk. "What happened!"

"They killed her!" He shouted. "They killed Shiela! They killed her!"

"Izuku!" Rogue shouted, grabbing him and holding him. "Who killed Shiela?"

"The Commission!" Izuku shuddered before his anger became rage filled tears.

"WHAT!" The group shouted.

"HELLO!" A voice came through a speaker on the police Scanner in Nedzu's computer. "Hello! This is Jason Haywood! Any Heroes out there! I am being chased by an unknown, unfriendly! I have a child on board! Repeat! There is a child on board! Any Heroes out there! This is Jason Haywood! I could use backup! There is a child on board, and I don't want to cause any unnecessary collateral damage! Please! Send back up! I'm heading for U.A. And just turned onto Main Street and am heading for Hero Boulevard! I need any Heroes for back up! Hell, I'll take any Vigilante..."

The transmission went dead, and they heard Heroes reply.

"Jason! I'm on my way!" Mirko shouted.

"I'm on my way!" A second voice shouted.

"Hang on Kid!" A third voice shouted.

"Hang on!" A fourth voice shouted.

Aizawa and Hawks jumped out the window and took off for Hero Boulevard.

Nedzu's Office went on lockdown to keep the others inside.

"Let us out!" Johnny shouted. "We need to help Jason!"

"The Hero Commission wants you kids." Nedzu said. "You Aren't leaving this school."

"That's not what a Hero would do!" Rogue shouted.

"You're Not Heroes yet." Nedzu said. "Let the Heroes do their job."

"We May not be Heroes, but that doesn't matter! A Hero would jump into danger regardless of whether or not they could do something!"

"And the Heroes have gone to do something."

"Damn it Nedzu! He's our friend! We can't just sit here with our thumbs up our asses!"

"And yet, that's what you're going to do." Nedzu said dangerously.

Johnny glared at Nedzu who stared back.

"Fine! But I don't have to like it."

"That's part of life young Blaze." Nedzu said. "That's part of life."

Jason was driving as fast as he could, and he drifted around a corner and took off again.

He was just speeding up when the Tumbler was hit.

"HELLO!" He said into the radio. "Hello! This is Jason Haywood! Any Heroes out there! I am being chased by an unknown unfriendly! I have a child on board! Repeat! There is a child on board! Any Heroes out there! This is Jason Haywood! I could use backup! There is a child on board, and I don't want to cause any unnecessary collateral damage! Please! Send back up! I'm heading for U.A. And just turned onto Main Street and am heading for Hero Boulevard! I need any Heroes for back up! Hell, I'll take any Vigilante..."

He was cut off as the person chasing him hit the Tumbler causing him to spin out of control.

Jason! I'm on my way!" Mirko shouted.

"I'm on my way!" A second voice shouted.

"Hang on Kid!" A third voice shouted.

"Hang on!" A fourth voice shouted.

"Himiko." Jason Said. "Stay with Eri! When you get a chance. Head for U.A."

"No!" Himiko shouted.

"Damn it Himiko! Get Eri to U.A.!"

"FINE! But if you die out there! I'm going to kill you!"

"Fine!" Jason shouted as he jumped out of the Tumbler. Looking around he saw a man with a mane and sharpened teeth.

"Well! I suppose that I'm going to drag you back to the Commission and take that Tank as payment."

"Blow me." Jason said as he grew to his demon form and created a crowbar that he swung into the man.

"Nice try, but no luck!" The man shouted as he grabbed the crowbar and stopped it, creating a wind blast from the clash.

"You've done it now Kid! You're going to be labeled as a vigilante at best, and a villain at worst!"

"Actually!" A familiar voice called out. "He's not. I gave him permission to use his Quirk on his way to U.A.!"

Jason and the man looked up to see Eraser Head, Hawks, Mirko, and Three other Heroes.

"Well!" Aizawa said. "This is your fight Red Hood! Kick his ass! we'll help you as needed."

"Yes Sensei!" Jason shouted as He pulled the man towards him and grabbed him before he suplexed the man into the ground and created a stocks and forced him into the stocks as the smell of burning flesh and the sounds of pain filled the air.

"Oh fuck!" Mirko shouted as she felt her stomach turn over as she wanted to puke.

"Damn." One of the Heroes said.

"Shit." Another Hero Said. "This guy isn't messing around."

"Dude, that's cold!" The other Hero Said.

"Serves you Right!" Hawks shouted.

Aizawa watched as Jason looked up at him. "Get To U.A. Hood!"

"Yes Sensei!" Jason shouted as He jumped into the Tumbler and took off for U.A.

Aizawa jumped down and looked at the man who was currently acquiring third and fourth degree burns on his wrists, thighs, and neck. "I'm going to let you out. Then you're going to tell me everything that I want to know." He demanded.

The man passed out from the pain. And Eraser put some Quirk nullifying cuffs on him before pulling his knife out and popping the locks on the stocks before pulling him out ripping fused flesh off the stocks and called for an ambulance.

Jason drove through the streets towards U.A. And drifted around the corner into U.A. Before Jason looked outside to see the people who had followed him to U.A. All people who were wearing black stealth suits.

One of them held his hands up and activated a Quirk, pulling the Tumbler towards them.

"Himiko! Hand me Eri! We need to get out of here!"

Himiko undid Eri's seatbelt and handed her To Jason before undoing her own seatbelt.

"Hold onto me! It's going to get hot!"

Himiko bit Jason's neck and drank some blood before changing into him and held on as Jason tapped a button on the control panel.

The front of the Tumbler exploded and they were shot off on a motorcycle towards the back of U.A. As the Tumbler Shot back towards the people.

Mei was in the garage when she heard a motorcycle and looked up to see Jason, Himiko, and Eri on the motorcycle from the Tumbler. "Where's the Tumbler-Baby?" She asked.

"It was caught by someone with some kind of telekinesis or magnetic Quirk. We got away with the motorcycle."

"Jason! That was a month of work!"

"Sorry."

"Well, at least let me see the scrap to see what I can salvage from it."

"Himiko, take Eri to Nedzu's office and wait for Inko and Hisashi."

"But..."

"Someone needs to protect Eri." Jason cut her off.

Himiko left for Nedzu's office, leaving Mei and Jason to find the Tumbler.

They walked outside and around the corner to see the Tumbler sitting outside the gate.

Mei used her Quirk to see it. "Why is the Tumbler-Baby filled to capacity?"

"They are probably hoping to sneak inside like it's the Trojan horse or something."

"That Just won't do." Mei pulled out a car remote and pressed a button.

Immediately the Tumbler was filled with commotion as the people inside tried desperately to claw their way out.

"Don't worry, it's just a mild sleeping gas. It won't hurt them."

Mei pressed another button and the Tumbler drove inside and parked itself in the garage where they were met by the teacher and principal Nedzu riding on All Might's shoulder.

"Are these the people After the Students?" Midnight asked.

"One of them had a telekinesis or magnetic Quirk that tried pulling me back in the Tumbler." Jason explained. "Then they tried using the Tumbler as a Trojan horse like a couple of dumbasses."

"I see." Nedzu said. "Not very bright. Unless that was their plan all along."

"In which case we'll just blow up the Tumbler-Baby!" Mei cackled like the mad scientist she really was.

None of the capture team jumped up begging them not to blow the Tumbler up so they opened the cockpit and the capture team jumped out, one of them grabbing Jason who changed into Efreeti and grabbed the capture team member and slammed them into the ground with enough force to crack the floor, the team members ribs, and spine while burning the team member and the concrete.

"Target is hostile!" One of the capture team yelled into a mic.

"Oh, this isn't Hostile," Jason said. "If you want Hostile! I'll give you Hostile!"

"No don't!" Rogue shouted, flying over and catching Jason, holding him back. "Don't you realize that that's what they want you ta do?"

Jason looked at the capture team. He remembered his mother's words to him and changed back. "What should we do with them then?" He asked.

"They May Leave." Nedzu said. "Tell the Commission that you failed."

"We aren't leaving without them." One of the capture team said. "Even if that means we have to take them."

"Oh really?" Mirko asked, tapping her rabbit foot on the ground, leaving spiderweb cracks in the concrete. "Want me to take Care of them?" She asked.

"Yes please." Nedzu said.

Mirko grabbed two of the capture team in headlocks and dragged them outside only for the capture team to attack.

The teachers pushed the fight outside while Rogue dragged Jason deeper into the school.

The teachers were fighting the capture team, All Might threw a punch at five percent, knocking them into a tree with a crunch.

Midnight tore her suit and activated her Quirk, knocking a member of the capture team out.

"HEY!" Mic yelled. "GET OUTTA OUR SCHOOL! YA DIG!"

Cementos created a cement prison for the remaining members of the capture team and the members that had been taken out by All Might and Midnight.

The three members of the capture team that were conscious moved their mouths and the teachers watched in horror as they began gagging and white foam came out of their mouths.

"They have suicide pills." Nedzu realized. "All Might. Hold the others mouths open and someone look into the back of their mouths. One of their teeth should look false. Rip it out. That's where the suicide pill should be."

All Might used two fingers to hold the two remaining capture teams mouths open and Ectoplasm created two clones who looked into their mouths, saw a tooth that looked slightly different from the others, reached in, and pulled out said teeth.

Nedzu sighed in relief. Now they could get answers.

Rogue dragged Jason through the school to Principle Nedzu's office.

"Jason!" Toga shouted.

"Jason." Eri said in a quiet voice. "Are they going to take you?"

"No. No one is going to take me. If they did, then I think that the others would have something to say about that."

"You're damn right we would!" Raven shouted.

"So, how are we going to destroy the Commission?" Johnny asked.

"We're going to need stealth." Jason said. "And shapeshifters."

Raven smiled a cruel smile. "What do Ya Need kid?"

Nedzu and Aizawa had been waiting patiently for the crew member they were waiting for to wake up.

"Ah. Good morning." Nedzu Said with a carefully crafted persona. "I am Principle Nedzu, and I have some questions for you."

The capture team member stayed silent.

"I see. Well, your teammates have already told us everything. We don't actually need you. We will just send you back to the Commission with a recording of everything we have learned."

"NO!" The capture team member shouted in desperation. "Please! Don't! They'll send me to Warehouse 13 if you do that!"

"What is Warehouse 13?" Nedzu asked.

"I don't know. All I know is that if you get sent to Warehouse 13, you're never heard from or seen from again. I've heard rumors that it's where the Commission try to make Nomu's of their own to make use of the Heroes they've discarded. To make them of use. The only difference is that these ones have minds of their own. You know of at least one of these Nomu's."

"Who!" Eraser demanded.

"He's a Student Here!"

"WHO!" Eraser grabbed the team member in his capture scarf and his eyes glowed red as his hair floated. "GIVE ME A NAME!"

"Yuga! Aoyama Yuga! Didn't you think it was weird that his Quirk hurt his stomach while he's supposedly had it for the last ten years! It's Yuga Damn it!"

Eraser's eyes glowed like the pits of hell. "Tell me Everything." He said in a voice That was so calm That Nedzu was worried he'd become so angry that he was calm.

"His dad worked for the Commission and when he found out that his Son was Quirkless he begged the Commission for help! Our Geneticist took the Quirk from a brain dead Hero and gave it to his son!"

"How convenient that you know this." Nedzu said.

"Not Really. I Wanted a way out, so I did some digging and found out something that would make the Commission leave me alone if I needed them too."

"What's your name and Quirk?"

"I don't have a name. My I.D. Is 621995."

"And your Quirk?"

"I know things. If you ask me a Question I can tell you the answer, even if I don't know the answer right now. The more specific the question the more detailed the answer."

"Is Eraser Head Married? If so, to whom, when were they married, how long have they been married, do they have any children, and if so, how many?" Nedzu asked.

"Eraser Head is married to Miss Joke, they use a ruse when they see each other in public where Miss Joke asked Eraser Head if he'll marry her and he'll refuse, then she'll laugh like it's the funniest joke she's ever heard. They were married roughly six years ago in June. It was a private affair with only a few friends. They do not have any biological children but see their classes as their children. They have adopted a child, Hitoshi Shinso, after he was found unconscious on the side of the road by Jason Todd now Haywood, and it was discovered that his foster family was abusing him by muzzling him to the bed during the night so he wouldn't use his "Villains" Quirk on them. He wasn't allowed to speak for fear of using his Quirk. He is happy and refers to Eraser Head as Dadzawa and Miss Joke as Mama Joke As his preferred titles when he is out of their hearing range, and he means them as a term of endearment."

Eraser looked at the team member. "Why does Willis Todd keep attacking Jason Haywood?"

"Willis Todd is bored. He is using Jason Haywood as a means of entertainment and as a way to punish Sheila Haywood for cheating on him and leaving him. He is using this ruse as a way to torture Jason Haywood for fun. He has used the excuses that he wants a rival, or he wants to make Jason Haywood stronger amongst other reasons, but the truth is that he is a sadist getting off on torturing his wife's son."

Aizawa and Nedzu looked at each other and grit their teeth.

"Two more questions to see if this is your Quirk and two more Questions to get answers."

"Yeah. Sure."

"Who is the one responsible for bringing Jason Haywood and his friends to this world?"

"His name is Calvin..."

Aizawa activated his Quirk cutting off the team members Quirk.

"Does this mean that Your Quirk knows the information?"

"Yeah. I Just answer questions. My Quirk is the one that gives me the answer."

"I'm going to ask the Question again. Does that count as one question or two?"

"One."

"Okay. Who is responsible for bringing Young Haywood and his friends to this world?"

"His name is Calvin Montgomery. He is the Commission's Geneticist but is considering leaving the Commission after what they did to Jason. He is also not from this world. He is a being beyond space and time. He is everything, everywhere. He is inevitable and a God. He is also a Demigod. He created Calvina Montgomery in his lab. Using the Egg from a Hero sent to Warehouse 13 and his own sperm he created Calvina, studied her, watched her grow, gave her the Quirks that he wanted her to have, and when she was five he brought her out of the isolation tank he'd kept her in and trained her until he was able to bring her to the Commission at the age of eight; where they trained her to be what she is today. When he found out that she had been used to kill Jason's mother he vowed revenge against the commission by any means necessary as well as a way to repay Jason Haywood for his mother's death. If you want to know anymore, you'll need to ask another Question."

"How do we stop Willis Todd?" Aizawa asked.

"Willis Todd is working with the Super Criminal All of One. He has been since the attack on the sports Festival. If you want to stop him, you need to get him away from All for One and kill him. If you put him in Tartarus he will escape, and with an army of villains that he will use to wage war against the Heroes leading the fall of Hero society as we know it. You need to kill him."

Nedzu and Aizawa looked at each other and nodded.

"What is the Death Guard?" Nedzu asked.

Notes:

My Anti-Hero Academia will return on Easter.

Chapter 30: Politics

Summary:

The Hero Commission tries taking Jason and his friends. Nedzu fights back.

Chapter Text

Kotaro Inuzuka walked through U.A. With determined footfalls. He was a man on a mission, and he wouldn't be delayed. He marched to Principle Nedzu's office and was surprised when the door opened on its own.

"Come in, come in." Nedzu said.

"Where are those fugitives?" He demanded.

"Fugitives?" Nedzu asked. "I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about."

"Cut the crap! I'm talking about Hawks, Summoner, Jason Haywood, Anna Marie Darkhölme, Johnny Blaze, and Izuku Midoriya!"

"Why?" Nedzu asked.

"We've lost Track of Hawks and Summoner, and this is their last know location, and as for the students, they are threats to society!"

"Oh, I don't know. They just need some training. They are only first years after all."

"First years my ass! They have the training of Pro's and don't follow the rules that the commission has put out to keep Japan safe!"

"Is that what you really think you're doing?" A voice asked from the corner.

Kotaro spun around and saw a man standing in the corner. It was a police detective.

"You're not protecting Japan." Another voice caught Kotaro's attention and he looked over to see Eraser Head Walking out of the unnaturally deep shadows of another corner.

The detective pulled three stacks from his bag, placing them on Nedzu's table.

Kotaro felt the blood freeze in his veins as he saw what was on the table.

Kiego Takami: Hawks

Calvina Montgomerie: Summoner

Kaina Tsutsumi: Lady Nagant

"Where did you get these?" Kotaro asked breathlessly.

"What is Warehouse 13?" Nedzu asked.

Kotaro looked horrified. "What?"

"The principle asked you a question!" Eraser Head demanded. "Answer him!" He hissed out, his eyes started glowing. "You do not want to fuck with me right now!" He seethed. "You are threatening my students, one of who has drawn the shittiest hand I've seen in a long time, and I'm surprised he's not a Villain right now! NOW ANSWER THE PRINCIPLES QUESTIONS DAMN IT!"

Kotaro felt warmth stream down his legs and sobbed. He looked in the corner and saw a skeletal looking man. The man's eyes burned bright blue in the middle of black Sclera.

"What is Warehouse 13?" Nedzu asked again.

"It-it's where we put the rejects and dispose of the failures!" Kotaro sobbed.

"What is classified as a reject and a failure?"

"Someone who didn't follow orders or died during training!"

Kotaro could feel Eraser's glare burning between his shoulder blades. He thought of something and let it blossom into confidence. "You know that we can revoke your Hero Licenses for not doing what we say, right?"

"Go right ahead." Kotaro's voice said from the final corner as he watched himself walk up to him. "It won't stop us from doing our job."

Kotaro felt a pinch and grabbed the area. He looked at his hand and saw blood.

Two more Kotaro's appeared and walked towards him. "No one will ever believe you." All three of them said in unison.

Jean appeared behind Kotaro and placed her hands on his temples.

He ran outside, heading for the Hero Commission. He ran for the Hero Commission and ran to the security guard. "Have you seen me!" He yelled, grabbing the security guard.

"Yes sir?" The security guard asked.

"Good! Don't let me inside! I'm a shapeshifter!"

The guard nodded and two other guards came up and grabbed Kotaro by his arms and dragged him away.

"What! NO! I'M ME! IT'S THE OTHER ME WHO'S THE SHAPESHIFTER! I'M ME! LET ME GO! I'M ME!"

"Sure you are." A second Kotaro said, walking up to the guard station. "Hello Jin."

"Inuzuka San." Jin said.

"Jin. How many times have I told you to call me Kotaro?"

"At least once a day."

"Then why do you insist on calling me by my Surname?"

"You are my boss, and we are at work."

Kotaro sighed and scanned his I.D. Card and walked into the scanner.

The scanner moved around Kotaro and showed Jin that it was the real Kotaro. He walked through the scanner, waved at Jin, and walked through the Commission until he arrived at a records room.

Walking in he shifted into Haywood and began placing firebombs around the records room.

Shifting back into Kotaro he walked deeper into the Commission and found the training facilities.

Placing firebombs around the facilities he made his way to the office of the Commission leaders and killed all of them before hacking into their own personal bank accounts, hedge funds, overseas accounts, etc and transferred all the money into Hawk's, Calvina's, Jason's, Johnny's, Rogue's, Izuku's, Anna, and Elsa's accounts making them instant billionaires.

When he was done, he placed firebombs and walked outside to the guard station and pressed the button on the detonator to activate the firebombs.

"Calling it a day Inuzuka San?" Jin asked.

"Yeah. Want to get a drink sometime."

"Sorry Inuzuka San, but I'm on duty until 4:00."

Kotaro looked at his watch and saw the time, it was ten after three. "Okay. Have a good night then."

"You too. Inuzuka San."

Kotaro left the Commission and walked back to U.A. Where the others were waiting for him.

When he came to, he looked around and saw the office as it was when he arrived. "NO! What did you do to the Commission!" He demanded.

"The better question is: what did you do to the commission?" Jean asked as Nedzu showed him his computer screen to show the Commission on fire.

"I must say," Nedzu Said, "you make an excellent infiltration specialist if I do say so myself."

"You turned me into a traitor!"

"Did we?" Raven asked. "Or did we turn you into a respectable individual who wouldn't drag children away from their families and force them to undergo torture to make them into the Commission's attack dogs?"

"Todd doesn't have a family! He is a ward of the state, and the Commission has every right to him! If he ever decides to turn Villain, who's going to stop him!"

"After what you did to his mom?" Eraser Head asked. "He has every right to turn Villain! But the fact that he's not a Villain is a sign that he's Hero material."

"Yet! He's not a Villain, Yet!"

"You're right." Nedzu Said. "We should call Young Haywood in and tell him that the commission is responsible for his mother's death."

Kotaro went deathly pale.

Nedzu typed something into his computer and a minute later Jason Haywood was led into the office.

"What is it principle Nedzu?"

"Young Haywood. I am sorry to say that we have found out more about your mother's death."

"What?" Jason asked, confused. "She died from cancer."

"Yes. Cancer caused by a Quirk."

Kotaro felt the moment that Jason snapped. It was as if a mirror had shattered, and Jason was no longer there. What was left was something else.

"Excuse me?" Jason asked in a voice that couldn't decide whether it wanted to cry, be angry, or be hollow. "Are you trying to tell me that a person, a Villain, killed my mom with their Quirk?"

"Thats exactly what I'm telling you. It was the Commission."

Kotaro felt the air shift, as if a violin bowstring had snapped during a concert leaving a disturbing note in the air.

Jason looked at Kotaro with eyes that burned like a fire about to go out. He was walking a line that would decide the rest of his future. "Why did you tell me this?" He asked Nedzu is a Voice that could break down and cry or turn violent and scream for blood. "Is this a test to see what I will do? Is this the test to decide if I get to be a Hero or Villain?"

Nedzu looked at Eraser Head. "That's not a bad idea." He spoke. "If I make you and your friends Heroes, then the commission can't come after you because you have the support of fans."

"Unfortunately, you would have to be Spotlight Heroes." Eraser Said.

Jason looked at Kotaro who looked like he was three seconds away from shitting himself. "Why?" He asked.

"Wh-Why?" Kotaro asked. "Why what?"

"WHY DID YOU KILL MY MOM DAMN IT!" He shouted, grabbing Kotaro by the throat and slamming him into the East wall. "WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU TAKE MY MOM FROM ME! WHAT THE FUCK DID SHE EVER DO TO YOU!"

Kotaro grabbed Jason's wrist and gasped for air. "Air! I can't breathe!"

Jason dropped Kotaro and stepped on his leg, crushing it with a sickening crack.

Kotaro screamed out in pain as the others watched.

"ANSWER ME!"

"YOU'RE TOO DANGEROUS! LOOK WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO ME!"

Jason squatted down so he could look Kotaro in the face. "You brought this on yourself. You killed my mother. If I become a Villain that's on you and the Commission. You created me the way you created other Villains, but my mom wouldn't want me to be a Villain. She told me to be a Hero for Eri and Himiko. So that's what I'm going to be. Despite what the Commission did. I will honor my mother's final wish. And I'll do it without the Commission's help or approval. Fuck you and the Commission. And one more thing."

Everyone watched as Jason broke Kotaro's other leg, his arms, and his ribs; filling the air with several sickening cracks and crunches.

"Get Recovery Girl to heal you..." he turned to Nedzu. "...then send this Fucker to prison with the other Villains. Or let Johnny Penance Stare him. I don't Care Which."

Jean followed Jason out of the room and Nedzu looked at Kotaro.

"You may get up now." Nedzu said.

Kotaro looked around and saw that he was fine. "What did you do to me?" he asked hoarsely.

"We Just showed you a possible future. Young Jean is quite skilled when it comes to psychology."

"Is the Commission destroyed? Did I burn it down?"

"No. The Commission is still there, Young Haywood didn't find out what the Commission did to his mother, and you are in one piece... for now."

"The Commission will be hearing about this."

"Actually..." Nedzu Said. "...I'm afraid they won't. Seeing as there is a warrant for your arrest."

"WHAT! WHY?!"

"It seems that you stole some very sensitive documents that are going to result in the deaths of Hawks and Summoner."

"WHAT!? No, I didn't!"

"According to the Commission you were the last person to enter the records room. So as far as they are concerned, you did."

Kotaro looked at Nedzu in horror. "Please! You have to help me! The Commission! They'll kill me!"

"Why should we care!?" Eraser asked, Rage filling every syllable. "You murdered someone! A students Parent! And for what! To turn the child into a Weapon! You're Lucky we aren't telling said child and letting him end you!"

"We will help you." Nedzu said. "On one condition."

"Anything!" Kotaro cried.

"You will record an interview with Mic Sensei telling all of the Commissions secrets. This will earn you a ticket to the Philippines with one hundred thousand dollars to start a new life. No politics, no Heroics, nothing. You may get a job and live there and only there. Am I understood?"

Kotaro bit his lip.

"This offer expires in three seconds."

"YES!"

"Thank you." Nedzu smiled. "Eraser will take you to Present Mic and you will complete the interview before being allowed to leave the school."

"Not like I could leave the school anyways." Kotaro said, following Eraser.

"You Are evil." Raven Said. "Using Himiko, Marie, and myself to change into him before having Jean make him think that he'd seen a possible future. genius."

"He and the Commission threatened my students." Nedzu said. "For that, they get no sympathy from me."

"Oh, I wasn't complaining. Absolutely destroy them for all I care. They killed Sheila and took a mother from her son."

"As well as your friend and lover." Nedzu added.

"Yes. If we'd actually made it to our fifth anniversary together then we would have thought about marriage. We would have asked our kids what they thought, but we wanted to be together. We both had assholes for partners before, and we wanted something new. We wanted to be happy, but we also wanted our kids to be happy."

"I can't say that I understand everything," Nedzu said in an understanding tone, "but I do understand the desire to be happy. I think at some level, every being desires to be happy."

"I think you're right."

"Have you told Young Haywood and your daughter about your and Sheila's plans?"

"No. I don't think that I can."

"Young Haywood is an understanding youth. I'm sure that if you told him then he would be more than understanding."

"Maybe you're right but look at where we are now. Look at what's happened."

"I understand, but you can't move on without this."

Raven thought about that. "You're right."

"Go talk to Young Haywood and your daughter. Tell them. Give yourself some closure."

Raven left the room to find Rogue and Jason while Nedzu sat in his office, plotting against the Commission.

Kotaro was led to the office where Present Mic sat at his desk.

"Mic." Aizawa said. "You have an interview with this..." Aizawa tried thinking of a word that he could use, and finally decided on one that he could say without wanting to strangle Kotaro with his capture scarf. "...individual."

"What did this listener do to make you talk about them with such disgust?" Mic asked.

"He works for the Commission and demanded that we hand over Haywood, Blaze, Darkhölme, and Midoriya."

"Oh." Mic Said, changing his tone. "So, what do you want me to do?"

"He's going to tell you everything about the Commission in exchange for extradition."

"I see." Mic said. "Let's Go listener." He led him to a sound booth. He wasn't happy.

Aizawa had seen Mic upset, but this was different. This wasn't anger, Mic was full of rage. Mic didn't feel rage. He was going to have to cancel Mic's Quirk by the end of the day. They would need to use the Soundproof room in the gym, before the day was done.

Raven stood at the door to Jason's room at U.A. And knocked.

The door opened and Jason answered the door. "Oh, hey Raven."

"Jason. I need to tell you and Marie something."

"Okay, come in. We're just doing homework."

Raven walked in to see Anna, Elsa, Himiko, and Eri on the floor. Eri was drawing cats on the floor while the others worked on their homework.

Rogue was hovering while chewing on a pen while working on science.

Johnny was sitting cross-legged on the bed while Jason sat back on the bed and let his legs rest against the wall.

"Jason, Marie." Raven said. "There's something I need to tell you."

"What's up mama?" Rogue asked.

"I..."

"Hold Up." Jason said as he looked around the room. "Guys. Give us the room."

Johnny, Elsa, Anna, Himiko, and Eri Left the room, giving Jason, Rogue, and Raven the room.

"What's up Raven?" Jason asked whenever the others left.

"This is kind of stressful." Raven said. "But I'll try my best."

"Take your time mama." Rogue said.

Raven took a breath to calm herself and spoke again. "Jason. I loved Your Mother. We would spend Tuesday's together..." She blushed. "...we had planned that if we still felt like this five years after then we would plan on making things more official and we would have asked you both for permission to get married."

"Really?" Rogue asked, not unkindly. "I never noticed."

"Yes. We found that we loved each other after one of our Tuesday nights, and we decided to see where it would go."

"How many years were you on?" Jason asked. "How many years had you been together?"

"This was year Four." Raven explained.

"You had been dating for four years with the intent of marrying after five years, and we didn't know about it?"

"Yes." Raven said, feeling nervous.

Jason got up and looked at Raven. "I want you to know that I would have been okay with you and my mom being together. So long as she was happy."

"So would I." Rogue said. "You deserve to be happy, and if Sheila made you happy then I would be fine with her being my stepmom."

Raven felt tears sting the corners of her eyes.

"Raven." Jason said. "Do you want me to ask Inko to transfer custody over to you? Do you want to either hyphenate or take my mom's last name?"

That was the last straw and Raven hugged Jason and Rogue, sobbing. They hugged her back and looked at each other. They already saw each other as siblings, same as everyone in their friend group, so it wasn't going to be much different if Raven was Jason's stepmom

Aizawa looked up as the door to the sound booth slammed open and Present Mic walked out before walking through the school to the gym and stopped in the soundproof room.

Aizawa could hear Mic's shout of rage from the gym. It was a good thing that the soundproof room had been modified by Cementose and Power Loader to be able to take hits from All Might, there was nothing Mic could do to destroy it.

Mic came back with obvious stress rolling off him. He seemed cranky, something that didn't fit the normally cheerful man.

Mic walked back into the sound booth and slammed the door closed.

Definitely not normal.

Mic did that two more times, coming back with even more stress each time.

When he was done Mic led Kotaro to Aizawa and stared at him. "I'm going to head home now." He spoke. "Please take him back to Nedzu."

"You okay Mic? You want to get drinks?"

"I would love a drink, but tonight is animé night with Ichiro, and I can't miss that. Maybe tomorrow."

"All right. See you tomorrow Mic." Aizawa said, pinching the bridge of his nose before grabbing Kotaro and leading him to Nedzu's office. "Just so you know," he said to Kotaro. "Mic is one of the kindest people I know, and the fact that you pushed him this far makes me feel irrational. You really don't want to see me when I'm irrational."

Kotaro gulped and let Aizawa take him to Nedzu's office.

Present Mic walked into his apartment where Ichirō was doing homework at the table. "Hey listener." He spoke.

"What's wrong?" Ichirō asked.

"Today was just a trying Day listener."

Ichirō activated his Quirk and took a guess. "Someone threatened your students again?"

"Yeah." Mic sighed a sigh that had no right coming out of his mouth. "I'll be playing the interview on my Radio show and on my social media accounts. What I was told... it's horrifying."

"Well, do you want to watch slice of life feel good, funny, a mix, what?"

"Let's watch something lighthearted."

"Okay, perfect. I know the perfect Animé then."

"What do you want for dinner?"

"Can we do takeout?"

"Sure. What do you want?"

"I want Katsudon."

"Coming right up."

Mic ordered food and sat down to watch the anime, Drug Store in another world: the slow life of a Cheat Pharmacist.

They got through two and a half episodes, five episodes really since each episode had two or three mini episodes, before the food arrived.

Present Mic paid for the order and gave an autographed shirt to the delivery person. He handed Ichirō his food and sat down with his own food and they kept watching.

When they finished Mic did the dishes and ushered Ichirō to his room before he dressed in a pair of skinny jeans with yellow shirt that had WKRP stamped across it before putting his midriff revealing denim jacket on and slicked back his hair before going to his studio. He was going to play the recording over the next week, post clips of it across his various social media sites and give his take as a Pro Hero and teacher.

The Commission was going to pay for the atrocities they'd committed.

U.A.: that night.

Jason was awakened by his phone going off. He looked at it and saw a notification for his secret App and opened it.

It was the Bat Computer program, he really needed to get that back from Momo. It was saying that it had found new information on the Commission.

Opening it, it was a Radio Program from Present Mic's Show. He listened to the whole thing and felt rage build in his stomach, fueling the furnace that was his sense of Justice and Vengeance.

Getting out of bed he walked to the door and opened it... only to find Nedzu standing in front of the door.

"Ah, young Haywood. Would you mind sitting down for a cup of tea with me? I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

"I'm actually kind of busy right now." Jason tried.

"The Commission can wait." Nedzu deflected.

"Okay?" Jason asked, following Nedzu to his office where he could smell tea steeping.

"Please. Sit down."

Jason sat and Nedzu brought him tea, tea that reminded him of Alfred's tea back in Gotham. "What would you like to talk about?"

"Young Haywood. Your program is truly amazing." He spoke. "But it is also incredibly dangerous."

"Which program?" Jason asked dully, not giving anything away.

"Come now. I am of course referring to the "Bat Computer" program you have installed on your phone, laptop, and wrist computer."

"Welp, can't fool you, can I?"

"Not so easily as everyone else." Nedzu blew on his tea before sipping it. "I know that you had plans to destroy the Commission, Overhaul, Willis Todd, Endeavor, and the Sludge Villain."

Jason gulped. "Overhaul and the Sludge Villain are dead. There are firsthand accounts of them being dealt with."

"Yes, but that still leaves the Commission, Willis Todd, and Endeavor."

"Your Point?"

"Don't go down this road." Nedzu said. "This road leads down a path I'm not sure you want to go down."

"If it stops people from getting hurt, I'll take that burden."

"I was afraid you would say that. In that case. Let me help you, so that your burden will be lighter."

"You want to help me?" Jason asked, confused.

"Yes. The Commission is corrupt. As Heroes it is our job to fight corruption. Therefore, I will help you bring down the Commission."

"What about Endeavor and Willis Todd?"

"Jean told us that if we wanted to stop the upcoming war then Willis Todd and his group had to die. As for Endeavor..." Nedzu slid a report across the table towards Jason.

Jason picked it up and read it. It was a prison report about Endeavor. Apparently, he'd been killed in prison. Every person he'd put away had decided to get revenge.

Jason took out his phone and accessed the prison Footage. It was right there. Endeavor was Walking towards the exercise yard when he was jumped and swarmed. By the time the guards arrived he was dead.

"Let's say I believe this report. That leaves Willis Todd and the Commission."

"Yes?" Nedzu asked.

"How Are you going to help me stop them?"

"What if I told you that I could take your program to the next level. To the point that you could create an authentic looking Hero License for yourself and your friends?"

"I'm listening..."

Chapter 31: We interrupt your program...

Summary:

Present Mic uploads an interview that causes trouble.
This chapter should be read before the chapter called "The Future".

Chapter Text

That night Present Mic walked to his office with a recording of the interview with Kotaro. The entire thing made him angry, angrier than he'd been in a long time. Angrier since they'd lost Shirakumo.

He walked into his studio, locked the door and put the thumb drive into its port.

He pulled the chair out and sat down.

"Hey there listeners!" He shouted into the Microphone. "Put your hand up! It's Present Mic, back for a special broadcast. I have an interview that needs to be put on the air ASAP! It contains content that isn't suitable for young audiences, so parents, you might not want to let your children listen in on this, ya dig. So, listeners, prepare yourself for this, cause it ain't pretty. I've also uploaded this to all of my social medias so you can watch, read, or listen to it however you please. With that out of the way, let's go!"

Present Mic played the recording and sat back.

"Would you State your name, occupation, and Quirk for the audience?" Present Mic asked.

"My name is Inozuka Kotaro. I work for the Hero Public Safety Commission as the liaison between the Commission and the Hero Schools, and My Quirk is the abilty to summon a partner, a dog, my partner is a dog, and when my partner is around, my senses are enhanced."

"What is your partners name? Give the listeners a name to come up with a face."

"I'm not very good at coming up with names, I just call him dog."

"Why would you do that? If he's the best boy in the whole world, why not give him a name befitting the best boy?"

"Like I said. I'm not good with names."

"I see. So, why exactly are you here today?"

"I made a deal with Principle Nedzu that if I come clean about everything then I would be given safe passage to somewhere that isn't Japan. I may not be safe wherever I end up, but it will buy me time."

"Why do you need time?"

"The Hero Commission might be the most corrupt organization on earth since before Quirks were a thing."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Hero Commission has a database of every Quirk. They have been gatekeeping who can and can't be Heroes since it became a profession."

"You're kidding!"

"I wish I were, but I'm not. They also decide who can be in what profession. There was a young man who wanted to be a Hero, but because his Quirk made him into a Humanoid Lizard, he was declined, even though his Quirk would have been perfect for scaling walls and getting people out of upper floors of buildings."

"That's horrible."

"Thats not all. This Young Man tried becoming a doctor next, but when he went to college the Hero Commission told the College to do everything they could to fail him. He ended up dropping out and the Commission knows that he's turned to Villainy to try and survive. This keeps the Villain population up so the Heroes have work."

"That's despicable." Mic hissed.

"Welcome to Hero Society. The Commission also makes it hard for Quirkless individuals to even live. They pay places a bonus for not having Quirkless employees."

"WHAT! Why!"

"Because. This is a Hero society. Heroes need people to rescue. Why not the people who can't save themselves? The Commission also runs companies who run Quirkless people out of business so that they need to turn to the Commission and the Heroes for help. Haven't you noticed that a lot of the shelters are run by Heroes?"

"Excuse me. I'll be right back." Present Mic Said.

There was about five minutes of silence before a faint yell could be heard before another five minutes of silence.

"Thank you." Mic Said. "Continue."

"The Commission also counts on Quirkless people to either become Villains or commit Suicide as a result of their treatment."

"Why!?"

"Because if they are dead then it only enforces the need for Heroes."

"What about Vigilante's?"

"The Commission doesn't really care so long as they increase the Heroes popularity without becoming too popular themselves. If Vigilantes become more popular than the Heroes people might start seeing Heroes as meaningless."

"Because the Commission made them that way."

"Yes."

"What else is there? That can't be all."

"It's not. There are... darker parts of the Commission."

"Darker than that?"

"So much darker. The Hero Commission has a warehouse called Warehouse 13. It's more or less a prison for Heroes, Vigilantes, Villains, Quirkless individuals. It doesn't matter, if the Commission doesn't like it, it gets sent to Warehouse 13."

"What happens at Warehouse 13?"

"The Commission hides its darkest secrets there, but they make artificial Heroes there for one thing, but they also use it as a prison that makes Tartarus look like a nightclub."

Present Mic gulped. "What takes place behind its walls?"

"I mentioned the Artificial Heroes, but the way they make Artificial Heroes is by taking the Quirk from a Hero, Villain, or Vigilante who crossed the Commission and gives it to another Hero or Someone who's Quirkless to make them a Hero who will listen to them. I can name at least three Heroes and at least two Hero Students at U.A. who are Artificial Heroes."

"There are students like this?"

"Yes. Their parents brought them to the Hero Commission when they were younger and begged them to give their children Quirks."

Present Mic gulped again. "Who are they?" He asked in a haunted tone.

"Aoyama Yuga and Uraraka Ochako."

Mic's breath caught in his throat, and he took a sip of water. Things made sense now, and he hated it. That's why Yuga constantly got stomachaches and why Uraraka was always throwing up when her Quirk was overused. "What did the Commission demand in return for this?"

"They would be the Commission's spies and find potential threats that the Commission could take under their control. Unfortunately, the Uraraka's have seemed to forgo that, and the Commission has made life difficult for them."

Present Mic Left for the second time and his shout could be heard over the radio from wherever he was.

When he came back, he sounded hoarse. "Anything else?"

"We have a Geneticist. Someone who grew his daughter in a lab, took the Quirks that he wanted and gave them to her to create an amazing Hero that the Commission would be proud of."

"What happened?"

"The training the children the Commission takes... it's no less than torture. They try to justify it, but it's straight up torture. They torture children to become the "Best" versions of themselves. They drug them up so that their Quirks can't evolve past a certain point. Hawks! Hawks should have been molting for a while, but they stopped his Quirk from evolving Because they know best. Lady Nagant. They forced her to resort to firearms. She has, well had, the potential to be the most versatile Hero of her kind and they kneecapped her so they could have an assassin."

"What about Calvina?"

"No one knows. Calvin kept a close eye on her and so he had to do something to keep her to the Commission's standards."

"I'm afraid to ask this, but why not keep Yuga and Uraraka?"

"Spies, and they couldn't just take Uraraka away from her family. The family knew too much. They were already ingrained into their life. I will say this about the Uraraka's they played it smart. Always around people, always doing construction work for whatever they could get. It made the Commission leave them alone because they had too many connections. They helped build parts of U.A. As well as other schools."

"They were indeed smart."

"Yes, yes they were."

"What else can you tell me?"

"The Commission is not opposed to killing whoever gets in their way to get what they want."

"Do you have an example?"

"Yes. One that you should know very well."

"What?"

"Do you know Jason Haywood?"

"Yes, I know Jason Haywood. I teach him at U.A."

"The Commission is the one who killed him mother."

Mic ran out of the room this time and bolted. The next thing that was heard was the loudest scream that could be heard yet.

When he came back into the room he glared at Kotaro. "What?" He asked in a very cold, very cruel Voice that made him sound anything but Present Mic.

"Sheila Haywood." Kotaro said. "The Commission had her killed. They used Calvina Montgomerie to give Sheila Haywood Cancer, the cancer that killed her. It was slow acting so that they wouldn't be able to track it. You saw the Coroner's Report. Sheila Haywood died of Cancer. When Overhaul destroyed her and put her back together, he caused the cancer to speed up to the point of killing her within twenty-four hours."

"How did you know about Overhaul?"

"The Commission knows everything... Well, everything except How Jason Haywood is so capable of escaping their grasp every time."

"Is that all?"

"No. I have some other things to say. Like that the Commission encourages elementary and middle school students to discriminate and bully Quirkless and weak or Villainous Quirk students in order to make more Villains or get them to commit self-harm or suicide. It's how their system works. What are the statistics of Quirkless students making it adulthood?"

"Last I checked it was somewhere like forty percent of Quirkless individuals making it to adulthood, which is why we have Heroes on the lookout... wait a minute..."

"Yes. It's all part of the Commission's plan. If a Hero rescues a Quirkless individual from taking their life that proves just how good Heroes are. If a Hero sets up a shelter for Homeless individuals that goes to make Heroes look good again. If a Hero starts a scholarship to get jobless people jobs, Heroes look good, and if that ever got out then that would make Heroes look like Villains for doing their job. Hero society would come crashing down."

"Why tell me this?"

"Because the Commission needs to be stopped. You need to stop the Commission! Save Hero Society! Save the future!"

"Thank you for your time. I'm sure that Nedzu has your travel plans."

Present Mic stopped playing the recording. "Listeners. Life may seem dark right now, but just remember that it's always darkest before the dawn. We can make it through this. We just need to be strong. Stand together, band together. Make the world safe again. Let's get rid of terms like Hero, Villain, Vigilante, and Quirkless. Let's get back to what we are meant to be. We're people. Let's treat each other like such. I'll be leaving this to play every other hour. If you want to watch it on my social media Sites, You're more than welcome to. I hope to hear from some of you in a couple of hours when I come back in. This is Present Mic, signing off."

Mic got up and headed outside. Once outside he headed for home only to feel a burst of heat from behind him that knocked him to the ground as his station was destroyed. Getting to his feet he looked around. "So, did the Commission send you to get rid of me?"

"Yes." A metallic voice said from the darkness. "You should never have aired that recording."

"That's the hazards of being a Hero." Mic Said. "You have to do what's right."

"Then I am afraid that you must die."

"I don't think so!" A voice shouted from the shadows.

"Ichirō!" Mic yelled, spinning around to see the boy he'd adopted running towards him and his attacker. "Run! Get away!"

"No." Ichirō said. "A Hero doesn't run when things get tough. That's what Haywood taught me."

"He's right." Another voice said. "I'm going to take your advice. I may be a Vigilante, but if I'm doing what's right, doesn't that make me a Hero?"

"Listeners!" Mic yelled, his heart breaking that they would interpret his message that way. "That's not what I mea..." Mic was punched by something Metallic and sent flying only to be caught by a familiar cloth. "Shota!"

"It's me Mic. Sorry I'm Late, but I picked up some backup."

The Metallic Voice began laughing as Miss Joke announced herself. "Hey Eraser! Marry me!"

"No." Aizawa said in a bored Tone.

"HA! And you say that you don't have a sense of humor!"

"I don't."

"Good one!"

"Coming through!" A Hero that Mic didn't recognize yelled as he punched the owner of the Metallic voice in the face causing him to flip over and land on his face.

"Thanks Samson." Eraser Said.

"You're welcome!" The Hero, Samson, bellowed.

"We're not through yet." Eraser said. "We've still got at least four more."

"Did you bring anyone else?" Mic asked as he grew a shadow... in the middle of the night? Turning around he saw a family flaming Skeleton. "Blaze!?"

"My Hero Name is Zarathos." Johnny said before charging into the darkness to grab the Metallic voiced assailant to reveal an individual in a suit of armor. "Your Soul is stained with the Blood of the innocent, look into my eyes and feel their PAIN!"

The air was filled with the sound a metallic screams as Johnny seared the soul of the metallic voiced individual.

Johnny grabbed the man and slammed him headfirst into the asphalt with a sickening crunch. "You disgusting pile of shit!" He roared. "May Mephisto have Mercy on Your Soul Because I sure as hell don't!"

The night lit up as Johnny's fire blazed, revealing the other four standing in the shadows.

Eraser threw his capture scarf and grabbed on while Miss Joke ran at another one. "Knock knock." She spoke.

"Uh? Who's there?"

"A little old lady."

"A little old lady who?"

"Hey! You can Yodel!" She said before activating her Quirk, leaving the assailant in convulsions of mirth before slapping Quirk restraining cuffs in them and used her baton to hold their mouth open and pull the false tooth out. "Check their mouths for false teeth! They could try to kill themselves to prevent capture!"

"Got it!" Aizawa said as he pulled his knife from between the assailants' teeth with the fake tooth in hand.

"Here it is!" Samson Said as he held a fake tooth up.

"Here's one!" Zarathos said, holding a tooth in between two skeletal fingers.

"Here ya go." Ichirō said, handing a tooth to Present Mic. "The one that tried getting away ran into a wall and knocked his tooth out."

Mic took the tooth and looked at it. "What kind of world do we live in?" He asked, falling to his knees.

Aizawa walked over to Mic and held him. He pulled his head into his shoulder and negated his Quirk. "It's okay to cry." He whispered while he rubbed his hair.

Mic grabbed Aizawa and sobbed into his shoulder.

Ichirō looked at the two men before looking at Miss Joke. "What's going on?"

"Mic and Eraser have a bond stronger than brothers." Joke explained. "They had harsh upbringings, took their fathers down at the same time, and helped their friend Midnight get through the toughest day of her life."

"And you don't mind them being like that?"

"Why should I? They share a bond that I can't have with Eraser. It's not quite a Platonic relationship, but it's not a romantic or sexual relationship. It's something in between and yet stronger than any relationship Eraser and I could have."

"I don't get it."

"Don't worry. It'll come eventually."

Mic sobbed into Eraser's shoulder until he was nearly unconscious, and Eraser looked at Joke. "I'm going to take him home. I don't know how long I'll be gone."

"Right. See you when I see you." She said before turning to Johnny who was already gone.

She headed for Eraser's patrol route and would finish patrol before heading home.

Samson ran back to his own route. He'd need to get a haircut before going into work tomorrow.

Aizawa led Mic and Ichirō home while looking in the shadows. "You gonna follow us back to Mic's apartment?" He asked the darkness.

"Yeah." A Voice said.

"Who are you?"

"Not the student I was two years ago." The voice said. "You expelled me because I didn't have what it took to be a Hero, but being a Vigilante and listening to Mic's interview made me realize that I had a lot that I was lacking in."

"What's your Quirk?"

"I have the ability to disappear into, appear from, and walk through the shadows. I am the Vigilante Shadowcrawler."

"Nice to meet you Shadowcrawler." Aizawa said. "I won't turn you in; so long as you don't go around killing, torturing, assaulting, or other crimes like that. Unlike Spotlight Heroes most Underground Heroes don't mind working with Vigilante's."

"Not all Spotlight Heroes are like that." Shadowcrawler Said. "Mirko doesn't mind working with me."

"That's Mirko. She and I used to be Vigilante's. That's why we don't take Vigilante's in unless they cross the line." Aizawa thought about his problem children, especially Haywood, Darkhölme, and Blaze. "If you run into three Vigilante's named Red Hood, Rogue, Or Zarathos, you can trust them, so long as you give them a reason to."

"Okay. I'll keep a look out. Thanks Sensei."

"You're welcome. How are you doing outside of Vigilante work?"

"I have a job, I work full time, and am a part time vigilante."

"Sounds like you're doing well for yourself."

"Thanks. Do you know if there's any way, I can become a Hero?"

"Join an Agency as a sidekick. They'll make you a Hero."

"Oh. Okay. Do you know any agencies that would work well with me?"

"Nighteye's Agency. You could look into Underground Heroes. They might take you on, and before you ask, No I won't take you on. Maybe ask Mirko."

"Okay. Thanks Sensei."

"You're welcome."

They walked to Mic's apartment and found that his apartment had fire burning out of the windows.

"Oh shit!" Shadowcrawler yelled.

"NO!" Ichirō yelled.

Aizawa glared at the burning apartment. The Commission had gone too far this night. The Commission was going down, even if he had to throw an enraged Haywood at it.

Chapter 32: The Future

Summary:

Jean takes a trip to a future.

Notes:

Trigger Warning: There is a mention of rape, readers discretion advised.

Chapter Text

Jean woke up to the smell of sea air and swaying. She opened her eyes to see that she was in a room with hammocks hanging in the air.

She got out of her hammock and walked to a staircase that led up. Walking up she realized that she was on a boat.

"Hey Black Sensei." A familiar voice said.

Turning around she saw Jason standing in front of her. He was older and looked nothing like he had the last time they'd met.

He was maybe 6'2" and had red hair. His eyes were the color of the sea, and he smiled easier.

"What happened to you?" She asked.

"I Kinda went through another mutation since the last time we met." He smiled a smile that said that life had tried to break him and had failed miserably. "I actually went through several mutations, but the first took place during my internship with Eraser. I was saving this guy, Calvin Montgomery. Sadly, his daughter died."

"I'm so sorry."

"It led to my first mutation. He was grieving and accidentally transferred his daughters Quirk to me. When I went to bed that night her Quirk overtook My Quirk and they combined."

"What happened?"

"Our Quirks combined and sine we both use Creation as one of our Quirks activation triggers they cancelled out and I was left with Hellfire Summoning. Unfortunately, her Quirk was stronger than mine and so it took the driver's seat."

"What is Your Quirk Now?"

"I summon other versions of myself from across the Multiverse."

"You do what Now?"

"Yeah. At first I could only summon the different versions of me, but then I went to I Island, and boy was that rough."

"What happened?"

"We went to I Island to get our suits while they were doing I Expo and villains attacked in order to steal one of David Shield's inventions that was going to be able to help All Might stay the Symbol of Peace Because at That Point I think he was down to two or three hours on his Quirk."

"Oh, okay."

"So, the Villain tried using it on himself, but I jumped in and cover the needle before he could inject himself, and it kind of ended up injecting me which caused my power to increase tenfold."

"An injection?"

"Yeah. Somehow David Shield had gotten ahold of Willis Todd's blood and thought that he could use it to make something to amplify All Might's Quirk but the Hero Commission Said that it was too Dangerous and locked it away. Then he tried making a crown or helmet or something that would do the same thing, but it also got locked away."

"What happened?"

"Like I Said, My Quirk was enhanced tenfold, and I was able to summon more than just one of me. I could summon multiple Jason's from the Multiverse, it wasn't just one of me at a time now. Unfortunately, the Villain had also grabbed the crown and used that to amplify his power, and it took everyone to beat him."

"That's terrifying how scary he was."

"Yeah, but we beat him and destroyed the crown."

"That's good, that's too much power. When did this happen?"

"During the trip to I Island the week before the training camp. Aizawa was pissed off, and almost killed David. If not for All Might he probably would have."

"I see."

"Next was after we'd gotten our Hero Licenses. We were sent to Nabu Island to help out until a new Hero could be Dispatched. We were attacked and Izuku and I needed to work together to beat the Villain. He transferred One for All to me and My Quirk was amplified again. I now had the ability to not only summon other versions of me, but also their teams, friends, Mentors, or armies."

"Armies?"

"Yeah. One of the Jason's I can summon is a conqueror. He has an army. I can summon his army with him now."

"That's amazing."

"I know right? Izuku can even summon different versions of himself, but he doesn't because the first time he did, he summoned an evil version of himself that tried to destroy Hero kind, and the worst part, he was Quirkless and was able to keep up with us."

"That's terrifying."

"We all kind of shit ourselves."

"Did you ever summon an evil version of yourself?"

"Too many times to count. The scary part is that sometimes they are necessary because they cross lines that even I won't cross."

"That's kind of hard to believe."

"Be that as it may? It's true. There are some lines even I won't cross."

"Okay, wow."

"Yeah, but then we discovered a new threat."

"What threat was this?"

"A group of Quirkless Religious Zealots who tried to bring around the end of those with Quirks by causing their Quirks to go out of control, killing them, and leaving only the Quirkless alive."

"Thats horrible!"

"Yeah, it was."

"Did it cause your Quirk to go out of control?"

"Kind of. I helped Izuku when one of the nut cases tried injecting themselves with Trigger, but I stole it and ended up injecting some of it into myself."

"What happened this time?"

"So, you know how I said the Hellfire part of my Quirk took a back seat?"

"Yeah."

"And remember how I had an enhancement from Willis Todd lying dormant in my body somewhere?"

"No."

"Oh, well I did, and thanks to that it mixed with that dormant enhancement and ended up waking up the Hellfire part of my Quirk and gave me the strength, speed, agility, dexterity, and endurance of Efreeti condensed into a human body."

"What are your weaknesses?" Jean asked.

"Well, my biggest weakness is my friends and family, followed by my stamina and endurance. I can fight for a while, but It's not like I'm invincible. I bluff a lot of the time, so people think I'm stronger than I am, but I'm not on Izuku's or Rogue's or even Johnny's level anymore. I took fourth place in our group with Johnny taking third place, Rogue taking second place, and Izuku taking third place."

"You really lost a lot of strength when your Quirk changed."

"Yeah. I was really bitter about it at first, so you'll want to help me there, but I learned to live with it."

"Okay."

"Want to meet some of the other Jason's I can summon?"

"Sure." Jean said.

"Well, this is Pirate Jason's boat. He's probably in the Captain's Quarters. Then there's Emperor Jason our lord and master, he's the conqueror I told you about. Next is Jedi Jason, Ninja Jason, and Hunter Jason. Finally, we have Vanilla Jason, Fire Force Jason, Alchemist Jason, and Assassin Jason."

Jean watched as nine different Jason's appeared.

One Jason wore black pirate boots, charcoal gray pants, a charcoal grey v-cut long sleeved collared shirt, a red headband, and a grey coat. He wore a belt and a bandolier. The Bandolier had a flintlock on his left side and a cutlass on his hip. The belt had another flintlock on his right side and a knife on his left hip. The final part of his costume was a red greatcoat.

Another figure was wearing charcoal grey tactical armor with red gauntlets, boots, and helmet. He had a crowbar and a sword on his back with twin pistols on his hips and sides.

The next figure had some kind of armor that looked like it belonged in a video game. The armor was black from the feet up to the neck and the helmet was red. He wore two pistols on his sides with two cylinders on his hips and a futuristic rifle on his back.

The next Jason in line was wearing black sandals with bandages that went from his feet under a pair of black pants that had multiple pockets. He had a kunai pouch on each leg, and a Chakra blade on each hip. He wore a charcoal grey long sleeved shirt with the Tenshi clan symbol on his chest. The symbol was a red bat in the center with a golden scorpion behind it, pincers open and ready to lash out and its tail ready to strike. He wore a brown jacket, and on his back was a black Kusanagi with the Tenshi clan symbol on the hilt. On his head he wore his hitai-até letting his long dark blue hair blow in the wind. His eyes were covered by a pair of black glasses.

The next Jason had red hair like the current Jason, his eyes were golden and gave off an aura of danger. He was lean and sinewy. He wore charcoal grey armor with light grey knee pads and charcoal grey gauntlets. He wore plate armor with a red bat in the center of a white snowflake. He wore a white sleeveless hoodie but didn't seem to have any weapons on his person, but his shadow seemed to be alive, and his Aura seemed to be warn of something powerful.

The next Jason in line had black hair with a white streak. He wore alloy armor with a leather jacket rolled up to his sleeves with charcoal grey gloves and a red helmet. He had a gun belt and utility around his waist.

The next Jason wore a fireman's outfit and seemed to be much calmer than the other Jasons.

The next Jason wore black shoes, black slacks, a black suit coat, a charcoal grey vest, a blood red shirt, a black tie, and a mask with red face mask and black Domino mask. On his back he had a symbol of a cross with a snake slithering around it with wings at the top and a crown over the whole thing.

The final Jason was wearing a pair of sturdy tennis shoes with a pair of black pants and a red hoodie. He held himself with a dangerous Aura that made him seem like a badger or a ferret or maybe even a hyena depending on how he moved. His aura screamed of danger and to stay away.

"Hello." She spoke.

"Hello." The Jason's said in unison.

"Do you all have Quirks or skills?"

"I'm just a pirate." Pirate Jason said.

"And I'm just an Assassin." The final Jason Said.

"I'm a conqueror." Emperor Jason our Lord and Master said.

"I am a student of the force." The Jason with the cylinders on his waist said. "I trained to be a Jedi, like my master, and his master before him. I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me."

"I see." Jean said.

"I was raised to be a killer but chose to be a Ninja. I specialized in Blood Jutsu's."

"Oh." Jean Said, unsure of how to take that. "What is Blood Jutsu?"

"A Ninja Technique Where I use Blood to Attack or Defend or even just do every day activities."

"I see." Jean gulped. That Jason was somewhat terrifying.

"I told Jason that I would help him with his cause." The Jason with the dangerous Aura and living shadow said. "I have fought a war, killed two immortal beings, and saved the multiverse. Helping him is nothing more than a way to train myself, seeing as killing Grimm is child's play. So long as I get to go back home to my family, I have no objection to helping him. Which reminds me..." he turned to Jason. "Weiss's birthday is coming up, I was hoping that I could bring her something from this universe since it's unique to our own. What would you recommend?"

"She uses a Dust Rapier, right?"

"Yes. I'll have a friend make her something and bring you back when it's done. When's her birthday?"

"Next month."

"Should be enough time."

"Thank you."

"How did you reach this level of peace?" Jean asked.

"I lived a very difficult life. I was abandoned on the streets when I was six where I lived for three years, was forced to witness my best friends rape. I experienced her death because my senses were just that advanced. I lost my legs during an attack at my school, lost my team during an attack on my school. My sister was brutally raped and murdered by a psychopath and my eyes were cut out by the psychopath's mother, and just before I was about to die, I stole the Semblance, what you would call Quirks, of the psychopaths grandfather allowing me to attain immortality. My wife's father tortured me and nearly killed me. I was forced to fight with a failing Aura, and died, if not for my wife and I sharing a soul bond I would have died. Then my wife gave birth to our daughter, and we were ripped away from her by an immortal who later revealed to me that he was responsible for every bad thing that had ever happened to me and my friends and family. So, I killed him. I may have left a few things out."

Jean gaped at him. "WHAT!?"

"Yes. I got Therapy, so I'm over it now, but as Dr. Thompson and Dr. Quinn are fond of saying: "The kindest people tend to have gone through the most shit. "."

"True that." The Jasons agreed.

Jean watched as the Jasons had bonded over their different Traumatic experiences.

"I'm the Jason that all these guys are based on." Jason explained. "From what Montgomery said, I'm the original that he takes either when I die or get tossed through a portal when Artemis and Bizzaro end up in another universe. I'm the Anchor of the Multiverse."

"Oh. I See."

"I am a member of Special Fire Force Company Eight where I live with my father and his crew of firefighters. We deal with the poor souls that get turned into infernals and send them off to the afterlife in peace. I am a third generation pyrokinetic who's fire ability is my fire suit. It keeps me safe and allows me to recite the prayers with Sister Iris to put the Infernal souls to rest."

Jean looked at that Jason.

"Yeah, he's like that." Jason said. "But if you ever get the chance to see him fight, oh boy is he insane."

"I am not insane. If anything, I'm the most sane here."

"He's not wrong." The Jason with the terrifying Aura said.

"I'm an alchemist." The final Jason said, touching his hand to a chunk of metal and changing it to statue of him. "I'm also the edgiest one here. Seeing as I learned Alchemy to take revenge on the man who killed me, and then decided to keep using Alchemy to kill."

"So, are you a Hero, Villain, or Anti-Hero?"

"I'm an alchemist."

"Believe it or not," Jason said. "He's a Hero in his Universe. He only killed those who were evil and ended up saving the universe from destroying itself. He did everything behind the scenes though while the Elric Brothers we're getting all the attention. His specific brand of Alchemy is Metallurgical Alchemy that allows him to kill someone with the metal in their body or even metal in the air."

"Way to give away my secret asshole!"

"Well, it was very nice to meet you all." Jean said. "But I need to get back home."

"Goodbye Black Sensei." Jason Said. "Oh, and before you go, be sure to tell Mama-Doria to sue the fuck out of Aldera Middle School. They are corrupt as hell. I thought I was doing good by scaring the shit out of the teachers, but that only caused the bullying to get worse. Not to mention the suicide rate. I'll take responsibility for that now. If it changes the future I don't give a fuck. Save the kids I technically killed."

Jean nodded and appeared in her office. She needed to talk to Nedzu.

Nedzu was in his office, trying to figure out what to do about the Hero Commission when he opened his door as Jean was about to knock on the door.

"Hello Jean." He spoke.

"Hello Nedzu Sensei. I need your advice on something."

"What seems to be the problem?"

"I went to the future again."

"So soon? It must be important."

"That's what I need your advice on. If I listen to what I learned, then that means I have to let a student get a new Quirk, like a brand new Quirk, and then I also let all sorts of bad things happen to let this students Quirk get more powerful rather than hinder them."

"Would this student be better off with this new Quirk?"

"They looked happier than the other future, but that also leads to the next issue. They told me that Aldera has to be shut down, but that could change this future which means that it could change what happens and this student might not have the same future that they did and I will have let this student get a new Quirk for no reason and it will be devastating for the future."

"When does this student get the new Quirk?"

"During their internship."

"So, you have a week to start your assault on Aldera. Get the ball rolling and the day before the internships start check on the future to see if it has changed."

"My Quirk doesn't work like that. I can't really control when I jump to the future."

"This student, do you think that they will be able to handle the changes?"

"Yes."

"Are you willing to trust your abilities to help them?"

"Yes."

"Are you willing to let them accept the consequences if you don't get an answer?"

Jean thought about that. Was she willing to let Jason go through that if she didn't know how it would impact him? People without her Quirk had to go on blind faith, could she? "I will go on blind faith if I can't get an answer."

"Excellent. Now. Why do we need to destroy Aldera Junior High?"

Inko walked up to Principal Nedzu's office and was about to knock on the door when the door opened automatically, and she peeked inside.

"Ah, Midoriya San." Nedzu said. "Please, come in, come in."

Inko walked in, and seeing Nedzu and Jean, began to worry her skirt. "Hello Nezu San. Is something wrong? Had Izuku, Himiko, or Jason done something wrong?"

"No, no. It only has to do with Aldera Junior High. It has come to my attention that Izuku has a bad history with Aldera. Did you notice anything when Izuku while at Aldera?"

"Well..." Inko worried her skirt again. "...there was some issues at first but That stopped after a while, and so I thought it was over, but I guess that it didn't and I should have been more worried when I found out that Katsuki had told Izuku to kill himself, but I was just so relieved that Izuku was alive and I..."

"Midoriya San." Nedzu said softly. "We want to bring Aldera to Justice, but we need to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. We would like you to take the case against Aldera and make an example of them to show what will happen should another school follow Aldera's example."

Inko's eyes glowed an almost toxic green. "I've been wanting to take them to court since I went back to my law firm, and I've already gathered data for their takedown." She brought out a stack of folders that were bulging to the point of exploding. "Also, I would like to Sue them for not only hurting Izuku, but Katsuki as well."

Nezu smiled. "Midoriya San. I would like to ask for your hand in friendship."

Inko took Nedzu's hand and Jean felt her world come crashing down around her. Nedzu and Inko would be a terrifying friendship.

Sunday.

Jean was laying on the futon in her office, trying to get the future aspect of her work to activate.

She had tried drinking tea to help her sleep, but it wasn't working.

She turned on some relaxing music, but that wasn't working either.

She tried deep breathing exercises, but that didn't seem to work until she heard Jason.

"Hey Black Sensei." Jason Said.

Turning around she saw Jason doing... Yoga?

"Jason?"

"Yeah?"

"Did anything change?"

"Yeah. Mama-Doriya shut down Aldera, started making the other schools start treating everyone equally regardless of their Quirk status, and eventually took down the Hero Commission, labeling all the board of directors and what not as war criminals and war profiteers."

"How?!"

"Oh, she made the argument that they were profiting for the war on crime and that by labeling and deciding who got to be Heroes and what was classified as a villains Quirk she was able to destroy the commission."

"That's terrifying."

"Mama-Doriya is the definition of terrifying."

"What about Your Quirk?"

"What Quirk?" Jason asked before laughing at Jean's horrified look. "I'm just kidding. No, My Quirk is Great. It's the same summoning Quirk with the enhanced stats."

"Has it changed at all?"

"No, but I've changed."

"How?"

Jason got up and walked to a desk before handing Jean a card.

Haywood Enterprises

Jason Haywood

81733463825

Jean turned the card over and looked at the back.

2-35 Itakura, Itakura-cho, Oura-gun, Gunma

(Add Email Address)

"You're a Businessman?"

"Yes. By day I'm Jason Haywood, the dumb ass who can barely tie a tie, but by night I'm: Red Hood the U.A. Knight, the Underground Hero."

"When do you Sleep?"

"Whenever I Can."

"Just like Eraser Head."

"Anything else you want to let me know?"

"I destroyed the League of Villains."

"WHAT!" Jean asked so hard that she woke up in her office. She bolted up and ran for Nedzu's office.

Nezu and Inko were in Nedzu's Office when Jean ran inside. "I'm sure that the student I was telling you needs to get their new Quirk!"

"What brought this on?" Nedzu asked.

"I saw the future again. I'm sure they need to get this new Quirk. It will help them and bring peace to the future."

"Then I think you have your answer."

"I do." Jean smiled.

Nedzu nodded.

Jean looked at the contents on the table. "What are you working on?"

"We're going to destroy Aldera Junior High." Nedzu laughed.

"Okay." Jean Said. "I'll leave you too it." She said leaving.

Nedzu smiled and went back to his work.

Chapter 33: Hero Internships Part 1

Summary:

Hero Internships are here, and excitement is in the air, but will things go smoothly?

Notes:

Wow, really coming down to the wire on this update, only a week left in the month. I'm not ignoring this fic, but I did start working on an original work after friends and coworkers told me that I should give it a try. So if I miss an update, it's not because I'm blatantly ignoring any of my Fics, it's because I'm working on an original idea. It's been going well, and in the last three-Ish months, I have written about forty-four chapters, all varying from one or two pages to one being well over twenty-six pages long.
Now, enough about me and my other projects, let's get you to the reason you all are really here. My Anti-Hero Academia, Chapter 33, the Hero Internships arc. Enjoy.

Chapter Text

Class 1-A met in their Homeroom before they were supposed to head to the station. Ochako and Yuga weren't looking so good. The classroom stayed silent while the others watched.

Aizawa sensei came in and saw the students standing around. "Get ready. We will be heading to the station momentarily. "

Ochako walked over to Aizawa and bowed. "Aizawa Sensei. "I would like to decline from the Internship and be expelled from U.A." She bowed deeply, sobbing into the air.

The student's watched in horror and noticed that Aizawa was glaring, not at Ochako, just glaring. "Uraraka." He spoke. "Why do you think I would expel you?"

"Because! I'm Quirkless and a spy!" She shouted, sobbing.

Yuga looked at Uraraka and walked up to the front. "Oui." He spoke. "I would like to also decline and be expelled."

"I would also like to be expelled!" Izuku shouted, bowing. "I was Quirkless until the day of the U.A. Exam when my Quirk came in!"

Jason, Johnny, Rogue, Anna, Elsa, and Himiko grabbed their bags, letting Aizawa know that if he expelled Ochako, Yuga, and Izuku that they were leaving with them.

The rest of class 1-A grabbed their bags, telling Aizawa sensei that they weren't going to stand for the injustice of what the Hero Commission did.

"Sit down, all of you." Aizawa said. "I'm not expelling you, any of you, so long as you prove that you deserve to be here. Now, grab your stuff and let's get you to the station. Haywood. Stay."

Jason stayed while the others headed for the station. "What is it, Sensei?"

"I know that you have that program, tell me, can you find evidence against the HPSC?"

"As if you have to ask Sensei." Jason said, pulling out his laptop.

"Show me when we get to my Agency." Eraser said.

"Right." Jason said when he heard Izuku Shouting for people to stop. He ran into the hall and saw that Izuku had green lightning running across his body and was holding Johnny off with one hand and Monoma off with the other.

Jason took off down the hall and jumped at Monoma, kicking him in the face, sending him flying. "Do you really want to try pissing me off today, Monoma?" Jason asked, dropping into a fighting stance, his skin smoking. "What happened?" he asked, looking at Izuku.

"What happened!" Aizawa demanded, his eyes glowing red.

"Monoma began bullyin' Yuga and Ochako!" Rogue shouted. "He called 'em Quirkless! Johnny lashed out and Izuku used his Quirk ta stop him from killing Monoma. Then Monoma began eggin' Johnny on, and that's when Jason kicked Monoma out of the way."

"What's going on here!" Vlad king shouted.

"Your student showed flagrant bigotry and hatred!" Aizawa demanded. "He called Aoyama and Uraraka Quirkless!"

"Is this true?" Vlad asked.

"Yes." Kendo said, rubbing her arm uncomfortably."

Vlad pinched the bridge of his nose. "Let's go Monoma." Vlad said, leading Monoma to Nedzu's office with Aizawa heading to Nedzu's office with Uraraka and Aoyama.

"Haywood." Aizawa said. "You and Shinso come too. The rest of you head to the station. I will be contacting your Hero sponsors and checking to make sure that you arrived on time."

"Same goes for me." Vlad King said.

The students, with the exception of Jason, Shinso, and Himiko headed towards the Train Station wondering what was going to happen.

"What's up?" Jason asked Himiko.

"Vlad King is my Hero Mentor." Himiko reminded.

Jason nodded, that was right.

Together the trio headed to Nedzu's office with their teachers, classmates, mentor, father, and Monoma

Nedzu's office.

Nedzu looked at Monoma, Ayoyama, and Ochako. "Would you please explain what happened?" He said in a cheerful voice that was anything but cheerful.

"I asked to be expelled because I was revealed to be Quirkless and a Spy." Ochako said.

"Oui." Yuga agreed.

"Then Izuku asked to be expelled with us, and Aizawa told us to sit down. Then we headed for the entrance to go to the station, and that's when Monoma began taunting us."

"What did you say Monoma?" Nedzu asked.

"Nothing that wasn't true." Monoma defended himself.

"Really?" Nedzu asked, a sharp tone in his words.

"Yes."

"May I ask what you said, word for word?"

"I don't remember. Haywood kicked me pretty hard in the head. Shouldn't he be expelled for what he did to me?"

"We are not discussing young Haywood's actions young Monoma; we are discussing yours. Now, what did you say?"

"I don't remember." Monoma said, defiantly putting his hands in his pockets.

Nedzu sighed and turned on his computer, showing the events as they unfolded.

Class 1-A was walking towards the school's entrance when they passed Class 1-B.

"Hey." Monoma shouted. "Don't you think that you two belong in Class 1-B, or better yet, in general education so the REAL heroes can take their spots in class 1-A, instead of two Quirkless wannabe's?"

Johnny spun around and grabbed Monoma. "I've had just about Enough of your bullshit!" He shouted, changing into the Rider. "As far as I'm concerned Ochako and Yuga belong in class 1-A! You don't even belong at this school... second place."

Monoma's eye's narrowed and he activated his Quirk, taking Johnny's, but before he could do anything, there was a flash of green and Izuku was in between them, pushing Johnny back, and holding Monoma back.

Kendo reached for Monoma to pull him back, but Jason jumped over the group and kicked Monoma away from Izuku and twisting Kendo's hand.

"I think that we have seen enough." Nedzu said. "Monoma. I am not entirely sorry to say this, but you have been nothing but trouble since you started here, trying to start fights, spreading discord, sowing chaos. You are hereby expelled, and a note will be put in your own personal record stating that you should be blacklisted from Hero work, and that no Hero school should indulge you."

"WHAT!" Monoma shouted. "No! You can't do that!"

"You have given me no choice Monoma." Nedzu said apologetically, "but if you want to be treated like a Hero then you should have acted like a Hero."

"I can change!"

"No you can't." Aizawa said. "I've had too many students like you. You can't change, not without a big change that is forced upon you."

"Monoma..." Vlad King said. "...Grab your stuff, you are leaving."

"I will sign the paperwork and talk to Hound Dog and Jean." Nedzu said. "If they clear young Bakugo for Hero work, young Bakugo will take Monoma's spot when the students return from their internships."

"NO!" Monoma shouted. "NO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! ALL I'VE EVER WANTED WAS TO BE A HERO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!"

"Maybe you should have thought about that before you brought this upon yourself." Aizawa said, his eye's glowing red.

"IF YOU EXPEL ME! I'LL KILL MYSELF!" Monoma shouted.

"Take Monoma to Jean's office." Nedzu said. "I will call the hospital and have them come pick him up."

"NO!" Monoma shouted, tears coming to his eyes. "NO! NO NO! NO NO NO! NO NO NO NO! I'M SORRY! I WON'T DO IT AGAIN! NO! PLEASE! NO! PLEASE."

Ochako and Yuga watched in horror as Vlad King gently but sternly ushered Monoma out of Nedzu's office and towards Black Sensei's office.

"What a nightmare." Aizawa said.

"Young Ochako, young Yuga." Nedzu said. "I will not expel you, but, if you still wish to remain here at U.A. I will allow it, but, if you wish to leave, I will allow you to transfer to another class, perhaps Support, or General?"

"I wish to be a Hero to support my parents." Ochako said, tears in her eyes.

"I would like to transfer to Support." Yuga said. "I wish to turn my focus from Heroics to that of making Heroes look fabulous."

"I understand, and will make the appropriate changes, young Yuga." Nedzu said. "As for you young Uraraka, you need to get to your internship. Eraser will see you there safely."

Aizawa bowed and ushered Ochako out of the room.

Nedzu shook his head and wondered what U.A. would look like in the following weeks.

The following week.

Class 1-A met in their classroom and talked about how their internships went, and only quieted down when they noticed that Jason wasn't in class.

"What happened to Jason?" Kirishima asked.

"He's in the Hospital." Shinso explained. "He passed out and when he woke up his Quirk was... different."

"Different?" Momo asked. "Different How?"

"He summoned an older and much more terrifying version of himself."

"Really? How could he be more terrifying than Jason?" Denki asked.

"He was Quirkless and fought better than Dadzawa."

"WHAT!" The class, with the exception of Rogue, who looked a little worse for wear, Johnny, Izuku, Anna, Elsa, Himiko, and Hitoshi shouted in unison.

At that moment Aizawa Sensei walked in with both arms in slings, causing the students mouths to drop.

"Sit down." Aizawa said as if nothing was different.

"Aizawa Sensei! What happened!?" Mina asked.

Aizawa looked at his students and began speaking.

One week earlier.

Aizawa, Jason, Shinso, and Ochako walked into Gunhead's Agency and the Hero stopped his class. "Eraser Head, what brings you here?"

"There was an incident at U.A. this morning." Aizawa said. "It's been taken care of, and I'm here to drop Ochako off."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Gunhead asked. "I mean, since... you know."

"Yes." Eraser said, holding Jason back. "Just treat Ochako as you would any other student."

"I would, it's just... think of the liability."

"Are you saying that you won't take Ochako?" Eraser asked, increasing his grip on Jason's shoulder as Jason tried breaking free so he could probably fight Gunhead.

"Yes."

"Think of her as a civilian coming in for training then."

"This is Hero Internship week. I don't take civilians on Hero Internship week."

"Then how about we settle this on the mat?" Jason asked. "No Quirks, just me vs you."

"I am not going to fight a child!" Gunhead shouted.

"Then how about me." Mirko said, tapping her foot. "You vs me. If I lose, I train Ochako, if you lose, you train Ochako."

"Then why don't you just train her then?" Gunhead asked.

"Ochako?" Mirko asked. "Want to train with Rogue and I?"

"Sure." Ochako said sadly, tears coming to her eays, and streaming down her cheeks.

"Come on then." Mirko said, extending an arm to Ochako. "Aizawa."

"Rumi." Aizawa said, staring at Gunhead before leaving for his and Emi's house, practically dragging Haywood with him.

Upon arriving at his home, Eraser looked at Jason and Shinso.

"I can't believe that you were going to fight Gunhead." Shinso said.

"I would have kicked his ass." Jason said.

"He's got years of training on you."

"I would have fought dirty. I don't mind breaking bones, plus, my strength is always active."

"What would you do if you lost your Quirk though?"

"I've fought without my Quirk before. I don't see how that would be any different."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"You're delusional if you think that you can take on a Hero by yourself."

"Aizawa Sensei, wanna spar?"

"Hey Joke." Aizawa called to his wife. "Want to fight Haywood? I'll cancel both of your Quirks for as long as I can, as soon as your Quirks come back, the fight is over."

"Sure thing." Miss Joke said, coming into the room. "Come on kiddos." She motioned them for the basement which had been remodeled into a gym.

"Cool set up Sensei." Jason said, looking around the gym.

"Thanks Haywood." Aizawa said. "Now. You and Joke take to the mat."

Jason and Miss Joke stepped onto the mat and dropped into fighting stances.

Aizawa pulled his goggles on and activated his Quirk, looking at Joke and Haywood, cutting off their Quirks. "Go." He spoke.

Jason and Emi moved in a circle, looking for an opening and when Jason found one, he attacked with everything he had, catching Emi off guard, grabbing her arm and flipping her over his shoulder, onto her back, and threw her out of bounds.

"What the fuck was that!" Hitoshi shouted.

"I knew that Miss Joke would underestimate me, and I used that too my advantage." Jason explained. "She wouldn't want to hurt a kid, and she was thinking of this as a spar. I went in thinking that it was a fight to the death."

"Let's go again." Miss Joke said.

Jason and Emi sparred again, and this time it was much closer, Emi nearly one, but Jason was able to barely push her out of bounds.

"Ugh!" Jason said as he fell to the mat, breathing heavily. "Oh god. You are no slacker. I shouldn't have underestimated you."

"I am a Hero." Emi said. "I worked hard to become a Hero. I have to be able to take down villains up to five times my size and up to ten times my strength. The only reason you won the first round so easily was because you took advantage of my compassion and naivete. From now on I will not hold back from a fight with you."

"Sounds good to me." Jason said before looking at Aizawa. "Sensei, did you want to look over that project."

"You can show Joke as well." Aizawa said.

Jason took out his laptop and sat it on the table. "Here is everything that I've gathered on the commission so far." He spoke. "I've sent a copy to Nedzu and Inko."

Aizawa, Emi, and Hitoshi looked at the laptop. It had pictures, addresses, lists of properties, lists of cars, assets, empty bank accounts, lists of misdemeanors and felonies, what stores they bought their clothes at, what brand of food they preferred, their favorite brand of sake, everything about the people running the Hero Public Safety Commission.

"What happened to their bank accounts?" Aizawa asked. "They are empty."

"I know, but it wasn't my fault."

"What happened problem child?" Aizawa asked.

"All their money was transferred into other accounts."

"Whose accounts problem child?"

"I didn't transfer the money into the accounts." Jason reiterated.

"Whose accounts."

"Mine, Izuku's Rogue's, Johnny's, Himiko's, Anna's, Elsa's, Hawk's, and Calvina's. I transferred half of the money from my account into an account for Eri, and even with that there's still a lot of money in my account."

"How much?" Hitoshi asked.

"Six digits."

"Damn!"

"Yeah. With the compound interest Eri should have seven digits by the time she can access her account. I think it's the least she deserves. I've also used the majority of my money to get a building built."

"What kind of building." Emi asked.

"One that will help people in need." Jason said. "It's going to be a place for people who need help. Therapists, doctors, Quirk Counselors, Support, Day Care, you name it, I'll make it happen."

"Ambitious." Eraser said.

"I know, but I'm planning on doing some good... especially after I've shut down so many evil organizations. The Yakuza "had" money, but now they don't. I transferred it into Eri's account. The drug dealers "had" money, but I transferred it into my accounts."

"How are you doing this without getting caught?" Hitoshi asked.

"Oh, I have it be transferred in a little at a time so that it's not suspicious. Or I have it sent as checks for me to cash, I just scan it into my money app, and it's done. Or I have it sent through the mail as cash."

"HOW!" Everyone shouted.

"Oh, Himiko. I tell Himiko to go to the bank where the money has been deposited under the name of the Inozuka Kotaro. She has everything she needs including a disguise, and she takes out cash, gets a check, whatever I need and brings it back to U.A.. Then I give her a percentage of what she brought me, and a blood pack."

"I'm going to have to have a talk with Himiko." Aizawa said.

"If you're going to expel anyone, expel me. I'm the one who convinced her to do it."

"I'm not going to expel her. I'm going to give her tips on how to best blend in with her surroundings."

"You aren't mad?"

"Oh, I'm absolutely furious that you are doing something so dangerous without talking to me or at the very least Nedzu about this."

"Who do you think gave me the idea?" Jason asked.

"What?"

"I was going to go on this revenge killing spree, killing people, taking over crime, scaring the shit out of criminals who deserved it, but Nedzu talked me down to cyber theft, and stopping them all through the power of the internet."

"What's the catch?"

"I have to give five percent to U.A. to help fund the new security features Nedzu has planned."

"Oh god." Emi said. "Nedzu is training you to be a mini him."

"Not just me." Jason said. "Izuku, Anna, Elsa, Johnny, Rogue, Himiko, and Eri are all learning from Nedzu."

"NNOOO!" Aizawa shouted, grabbing his phone and called Nedzu.

"What was that for?" Jason asked Emi.

"Oh, you have become a lot more dangerous thanks to Nedzu teaching you. Aizawa is trying to stop you from becoming too much like Nedzu. We don't want the world to be destroyed."

"Then I probably shouldn't tell you that Nedzu is looking at recruiting Shinso next."

"NEDZU!" Aizawa shouted into his phone. "LEAVE MY SON ALONE! YOU DERANGED RAT!"

Emi, Jason, and Hitoshi could hear Nedzu laughing like a loon on the other side of the phone and slowly backed away from the Aizawa.

"Suit up." Emi said. "We're going on patrol."

Jason suited up and waited for the others to do so. "So. What are we doing tonight? Hunting down criminals? Scaring petty criminals onto the right track? Practicing Parkour?"

"None of those things." Emi said. "We're just walking around, sticking to the shadows, and waiting to see what happens. You and Shouta will take one route, and Hitoshi and I will take another route. If we run into each other, we will make small talk, banter, I'll propose to Shouta, he'll reject me, and we will go our separate ways."

"Fun." Shinso said sarcastically.

"I know!" Emi said. "Your and my first patrol as mother and son! It's going to be great!"

"Please don't say that again." Shinso blushed. "People will take it the wrong way."

"It's only wrong if you let it be wrong!" Emi shouted.

"Stop!" Shinso and Shouta shouted in unison. "You're making it worse!"

Emi looked at Jason who was looking anywhere but at them. "Can you believe these two?"

"Yes." Jason said. "People are fucked up. Take a deep dive on the internet some time, you'll see why they are acting like that."

"Haywood. I am a teacher. I know why they are acting like that, and it's disgusting that society has fallen this low. I choose not to let it be seen as the way it is seen. Now, everyone dressed, let's go."

They left the house and headed for their respective patrols.

Shouto and Touya walked into an apartment.

"Birdy." Touya said. "We're here."

"Touya..." Hawks gasped. "...help."

There was the sound of someone falling, and Touya ran deeper into the apartment, his flames rising up his arms, ready to cremate whoever had hurt Hawks.

Hawks was in the bathroom, leaning over the toilet, his wings drooping, and feathers all around, talons growing out of his toes and his heel. He puked again, and Touya ran to his side, pulling his phone out. "What happened?" He asked.

"Don't know." Hawks said before he gripped the side of the toilet and puked so hard that he puked up blood.

Touya dialed Nedzu.

Shouta watched in horror, not sure what he could do. He didn't know what to do and felt useless. What did he do?

Mirko and Ochako walked to a building where an exhausted Rogue looked up at them.

"Rogue?" Ochako asked. "What happened?"

"I got attacked." Rogue said, her accent thick with exhaustion. "If'n it wasn't for me takin' Overhaul's Quirk I don't think that I'd have made it here."

"Who attacked you?" Mirko asked harshly.

"I'm pretty sure it was the Commission. They wore all black and seemed to be a capture team."

"And you were able to hold them off?"

"Yeah. I don't think that they were expextin' me ta be able ta destroy stuff with a single touch."

Mirko kicked Rogue through the wall of the building before walking through.

"MIRKO!" Ochako shouted.

Rogue stood up and brushed herself off. "Ya satisfied?" She asked.

"Yeah." Mirko said. "If you were a shapeshifter that would have broken your concentration, and you would have reverted back to whoever you were."

"Glad you're satisfied."

"What is this all about!" Ochako shouted.

"I got attacked and Mirko wanted ta make sure that I didn't get switched with a shapeshifter, which as you can see... I haven't been."

"How do you know?"

"Why do ya think that Mirko kicked me through the wall? A shapeshifter would have lost concentration and been reverted back."

"Is there any way that a shapeshifter could have kept their concentration?" Ochako asked.

Mirko looked at Rogue. "Why don't you tell us what happened?"

An hour ago

Rogue stepped off the train and began walking towards Mirko's agency. She was startled by how quiet it was, looking around she didn't see anyone out and about, causing her hackles to rise. As she walked, she felt an itching between her shoulder blades and ducked as someone swung over her head.

Reaching up, she grabbed the arm and threw the owner down with enough force to crater the ground, killing her attacker.

Someone swung, hitting Rogue into a tree.

"Gah!" Rogue shouted when she hit. Standing up she looked at her attacker. A large brute wearing a black tactical suit that covered from head to toe.

Tentacles wrapped around her, tying her to the tree, and a figure walked towards her with a syringe. "Time to go to sleep." The figure said, changing to look like Rogue.

Rogue touched the tentacles and activated Overhaul's Quirk that she'd stolen, destroying the person keeping her tied to the tree. "Ya really think that you can kidnap me in broad daylight?" She asked. "Yeah, I don't think that's happening."

The brute ran towards her and swung down only for her to grab their hand. "You don't know what my Quirk is, do ya? It gives me the ability to take other people's Quirks and use them as my own and I can take more than one!" She activated Overhaul's Quirk again, destroying the Brute before looking around to find the shapeshifter.

"Hey. You okay?" A woman asked worriedly before stabbing the syringe into Rogue's neck.

Rogue grabbed the woman and threw her into a tree before switching to Johnny's Quirk and burning off the sedative. "Now, you're going to tell me what you want with me whether you want to or not!" Rogue snapped, taking her glove off, grabbing the woman's face with her bare hand, and taking her memories.

Someone grabbed Rogue from behind and put her in a sleeper hold with enough strength that she passed out in exactly one second. "We have the parasite." The muscle said into an earpiece.

"Excellent." A voice said over the earpiece. "Bring her to Warehouse thirteen."

"Acknowledged." The muscle said.

The Shapeshifter looked at her final party member and headed towards Mirko's agency.

"And that's what happened." The shapeshifter said, biting down on a fake tooth killing herself.

Mirko raged and destroyed her agency in her anger. "Let's go kid." She spoke.

"Where are we going?"

"We're going to find warehouse thirteen." Mirko grit her teeth, heading towards the station so they could get to U.A..

Johnny was riding his motorcycle, heading for Gang Orca's agency. As he was heading for Gang Orca's, he noticed how quiet it was. 'Do you feel that?' He asked Zarathos.

'Of course I feel it.' Zarathos said. 'Give me...'

Zarathos was cut off as something exploded in front of him, and he was caught in some kind of goo that covered him from head to toe.

Changing to Zarathos the inside of the goo heated and hardened from the heat. He tried punching his way out, but the harder he punched the more elastic the hardened goo became, what was he in? He pulled his shotgun from his saddle bag and fired only for it to ricochet around inside doing absolutely nothing to him or the goo.

"Do you like it?" a voice asked. "It's my Quirk. It adapts to anything that you could think of to try and escape.

Zarathos could feel the pure evil coming from the owner of the goo. They had used it for so many deplorable reasons. He had an idea to use the Penance Stare against it, and it worked... a little too well. The man was pure evil, evil enough to overload the Penance Stare, causing Zarathos to lose consciousness, and killing the owner of the goo.

'We've got the skeleton.' A figure in black said.

'Excellent. Bring him to warehouse thirteen.' The person on the other end said.

'Done.'

"I THINK NOT!" A booming voice echoed. "That child is under my care and protection, and I will not let you take him!"

The capture team looked around and saw Gang Orca and his sidekicks walking towards them.

"Rabbit Hero: Mirko called me and told me that Rogue had been taken and to be on the lookout for Young Zarathos. Fortunately, I decided to meet him at the train station. Now, let him go before I make you let him go, and trust me when I say that you will be letting him go one way or another."

"Beat it fish fry." One of the capture team said. "We have work to do."

"So do I, and it starts by rescuing that young man. FIRE!"

Gang Orca's sidekicks open fired with their cement guns, immobilizing the capture team.

"I am sure that Nedzu and Eraser Head will want to talk to you all." Gang Orca said.

The capture team broke their fake teeth and swallowed their suicide pills rather than face capture.

"Kami above." Gang Orca said. "I didn't believe it when Nedzu told me. They really were willing to die than be captured." Looking over he saw Zarathos unconscious on the ground. "Medic!" He shouted. "Medic!"

The Medic ran over to check on Johnny and came to a conclusion. "He needs rest." He explained.

"Then let's get him back to the agency." Gang Orca said.

The group made their way back to Gang Orca's agency in the hopes that Johnny would wake up soon.

Izuku and All Might were running through Japan, jumping over buildings, running at high speeds, free running, and parkouring to get to All Might's agency.

"Well young Dekiru." All Might said. "How does it feel to be my official side kick?"

"WOO HOO!" Izuku shouted loud enough that All Might was sure that Nedzu could hear it all the way back at U.A.

"I'll take that as a compliment Young Dekiru but remember. We are working to help you come to terms with One for All."

"Right." Izuku said as he backflipped over a water tower. "I can't wait!"

"That's what I like to hear." All Might said before they heard a scream. "Let's go check that out Dekiru."

"Right!" Izuku said, freefalling to the ground below where the scream came from.

'All Might!' Mirko shouted into All Might's earpiece. 'All Might come in!'

'What is it Mirko?' All Might asked.

'Someone took Rogue! Keep an eye on Dekiru!'

'I will! Thank you for the warning.' All Might jumped after Dekiru calling his name as he fell. "Dekiru!" He shouted.

Izuku looked up and saw All might plummeting to the ground as if in a hurry.

Something enveloped Izuku but wasn't able to withstand All Might crashing down on top of it, and Izuku was free a moment later. "I ask that you leave my Sidekick alone." All Might said. "Now, why did you try taking my Sidekick?"

"The commissssion wantsss them, and what the commissssion wantsss, the commissssion getsss." A hissing voice said.

"I think not!" All Might said, getting into a defensive position.

"It Doesssn't matter what you want, All Might. It only mattersss what the commissssion wantsss. We already have the parasssitic one. We just need to capture the ssskeleton, the sssissstersss, Jassson, and your sssidekick."

"You took Rogue!" Izuku shouted.

"That we did." The voice said.

"GIVE! HER! BACK!" Izuku shouted, his eyes glowing toxic green as lightning arced across his body, and his blood pulsed in his veins.

"Not unlessss the commissssion sssaysss ssso."

Izuku listened to where the voice was coming from and flicked a quick 'One for All' two percent into a trash can where a snakelike individual jumped out of the trash, and threw a bolo at All Might, acknowledging him as the more dangerous threat.

Izuku used 'Blackwhip' to grab the bolo and throw it back at the figure and flicked a finger at them with five percent 'One for All' at them, sending them into the wall.

"Stay back young Dekiru!" All Might said. "It might be a trap!"

Five figures jumped down from the surrounding buildings and surrounded the two.

"Cover your ears young Dekiru!" All Might said.

Izuku covered his ears, and All Might clapped his hands with enough force to shake the surrounding buildings, knocking the others over, and caused it to rain in the Alleyway.

Izuku had to used 'Float' and 'Blackwhip' to hold onto All Might to keep himself from falling over or go flying. When he righted himself, he saw that the people who had come to take him had been knocked into the walls.

All Might moved so fast and captured all of the attackers, took their fake teeth with their suicide pills, and threw them all into the rolling trash can the snake villain had been hiding in before closing it and crushed it closed so they couldn't get out easily. "Let's take them to the police!" All Might said to Izuku.

Izuku looked at All Might and hadn't even realized that he'd done all of that in under ten seconds. "All right, let's go."

Hero and Sidekick ran for the closest police station to drop off the criminals.

Anna and Elsa were heading to meet with Neptune when a group met them. One was a man wearing a sharp suit with glasses over yellow eyes, green and yellow parted hair, and a permanent scowl.

The others were a boy with spiky yellow hair, blackish-blue eyes, the number one million on his chest, and a red cape, a sentient centipede wearing a tuxedo, and a girl with blue skin, and a diving mask on her face.

Anna and Elsa took each other's hands and raised their other hands over their heads, activating their Quirks. "Combo move:..."

"Wait!" The man in the suit said. "We are here to help. I am Sir Nighteye, this is Le Million, Centipeder, and Bubble Girl. I was All Might's Sidekick years ago."

Anna and Elsa looked at them. "Why should we believe you?" Anna asked.

"We captured a capture Squad who were ordered to capture you. They have already captured a friend of yours, I assume, and they were going to capture you in order to use you to get your friends."

"They what!" Anna shouted.

"They captured someone named Rogue and were going to capture you in order to use you as bait to capture your other friends." Le Million explained.

"Why should we believe you?" Elsa asked.

"Yuki Onna!" Neptune shouted. "Naiad! Where are you!"

Anna and Elsa looked around and saw Neptune running up to them.

"Oh! Good! I found you. Nighteye? Did you save my Sidekicks from the capture team? Mirko called and told me that Rogue had been captured and Yuki Onna and Naiad might be next."

"I saw." Nighteye said. "We captured the capture team and came to find your Sidekicks."

"Thank you Nighteye." Neptune said.

"You said that someone took Rogue?" Anna and Elsa asked.

"Yes." Neptune said. "Mirko called me. I am sorry for the loss of your friend."

"SHE'S NOT DEAD!" Anna shouted, tears streaming down her face.

"No. No, no. Of course not." Neptune said. "Please forgive me of that callous misspeak. I just meant that she had been captured."

"We need to find them!" Elsa said.

"We will." Nighteye said. "Come with me to my agency and we will come up with a plan to get your friend back."

"Let's go!" Anna said. "We're wasting time!"

The Heroes and Sidekicks ran for Nighteye's agency.

'Hang on Rogue!" Anna and Elsa thought in unison. 'We're coming!'

Jason and Aizawa were running across rooftops when Jason dodged to the left and spun around, kicking his attacker over the edge of the roof.

"What was that?" Aizawa asked.

"Someone attacked me. I'm used to it by now. I kicked the attacker over the edge."

Aizawa looked over the edge and saw someone hanging onto the edge.

"Pull me up!" The attacker said.

"Why?" Aizawa asked. He wasn't going to let him die, but he was going to get answers.

Jason's phone chirped and he took it out to look at it because he had it set to chime only in an emergency when he was on patrol.

"Why did you attack my sidekick?" Aizawa asked.

A shadow grew over Aizawa's back and Jason's massive arm reached past Aizawa to grab the man by the face and lifted him to Jason's face, twelve feet off the ground. "WHERE IS WAREHOUSE THIRTEEN!" Jason shouted into the man's face. "WHERE IS ROGUE!"

Aizawa glared at Jason with his Quirk active, causing him to shrink down to eight feet, but he was still holding the man up with one arm. "Hood! Drop him! We can't get answers if he's dead!"

Jason reached into the man's mouth and pulled out three of his back teeth, and a chunk of his gums.

The man wailed in agony before passing out.

"Talk!" Jason hissed.

"HE CAN'T TALK HOOD! HE'S IN TOO MUCH PAIN! HE'S UNCONCIOUS!"

Jason dropped the man. "Sensei. I'm afraid that you're going to have to arrest me when I'm done. I'm going to find Rogue."

"We're going to regroup and come up with a plan! We will head back to U.A. and we can formulate a plan there."

"How long will Rogue be at Warehouse Thirteen? Will they have taken her Quirk? Will they have tortured and experimented on her?"

"She's tough. They won't be able to without a fight."

Jason paced away before kicking a chimney and sent it flying. On the one hand they could regroup and get Rogue back, but it would take time, and Rogue might have been tortured or lost her Quirk, or he could rush in and... what? what would happen if he rushed in. Him against the commission? Taking out his phone, he called Raven, taking his helmet off so he didn't sound like Darth Vader when talking to his psuedo-stepmom.

"Jason!" Raven said when she picked up on the second ring. "What's wrong?"

"Rogues been taken." Jason said. "Raven. They took her and I'm not sure what to do."

"WHO! WHO TOOK MARIE!"

"The Commission."

"We're meeting at U.A.! We're going to get her back!"

"Okay." Jason said. "Raven. I'm sorry."

"Was there anything you could have done to stop it?" Raven asked.

Jason thought about that.

"NO!" Raven snapped. "Jason! There was NOTHING that you could have done to stop this! Now, get your ass to U.A. We're going to get your sister back!"

"What if they took her Quirk?"

"Then they are going to wish their ancestors had never met!" Raven hissed before hanging up.

Jason hung his phone up, wiped his eyes which he didn't remember crying. "Let's go." He spoke, putting his helmet back on.

Aizawa picked up the man and jumped down to the street.

Jason jumped down and was tackled out of the air and into a car.

"HOOD!" Aizawa shouted.

Jason grabbed his attacker and spun them away before grabbing them by their head and choked them out before they could take their suicide pill. "Who's next?" He asked.

four people ran over and Aizawa intercepted them. "Keep casualties to a minimum!" Aizawa shouted.

A woman with twin katanas on her back, and three people wearing armor walked over to Jason, one had a Bo staff, one looked like a good flex would send the armor flying, and the third had a cannon in the center of its face. They all had similar armor, and it would hamper what he could do to stop them. He clenched his hands into fists. "You're going to pay for taking Rogue." He spoke, menace dripping from every word.

"Sure." A woman said. "After we get paid for capturing you."

Jason squinted his eyes at them. "Oh, and who is paying you to capture me? The Commission or Willis Todd?"

"Just know that someone wants you and are willing to pay."

"Gonna be pretty hard for you to spend that money, since I'm going to torture and kill you and all."

The woman jumped at Jason, pulling twin katanas from the sheathes on her back, lightning fast, and coating them in electricity.

All four of them charged Jason and he created two guns and fired at the group, the bullets either being deflected by their weapons or bouncing off their armor, endangering the civilians.

"HOOD!" Aizawa shouted, dealing with his four members of the capture team.

"I KNOW!" Jason shouted back.

Jason let his Quirk activate, creating armor to cover him. The woman jumped at him, stabbing the Katanas where he'd been a moment before he'd moved out of the way, and vaulted over her, shooting down on her while she blocked. All he needed was to get one bullet to stick into her flesh, and her nerves would catch fire, literally.

She swung around and he jumped out of the way, still shooting at her, he didn't want to endanger the civilians, but going into close quarters combat with these four was dangerous, so he fired liberally, using his Quirk to make it seem as though his guns had an endless supply of ammunition, and while it was difficult, he concentrated, multitasking, and made the bullets disappear if they missed. It put an incredible strain on him, mentally.

She followed him, and he slid to a stop, putting his arms out to increase wind resistance. The assassin wearing a suit of armor tried flanking him while he was distracted with the woman, but he vaulted out of the way, and slid under the Bo staff assassin's staff as though he was playing limbo.

The Bo staff assassin came after him, deflecting his bullets, and letting his armor tank the ones he missed. The assassin swung, and he backflipped out of the way before rolling out of the way of a second swing.

The Bo staff assassin came back after him, and he kicked him out of the way only for the katana assassin to swing at him, causing him to duck followed by the Bo staff assassin swinging at him causing him to jump up, backflipping, and landing on the Bo staff assassin before jumping off him and kicking the Bo staff assassin away.

The katana assassin and Bo staff assassin tried tag teaming him, causing him to give up ground as they tried backing him into a wall. Jumping on top of a car before jumping to a tree. "Do you even know who the fuck I am?" He asked, shooting down at the katana assassin and the Bo staff assassin.

"You're our target!" The Bo staff assassin said.

The face cannon assassin ran up and shot at the tree, knocking Jason to the ground, causing him to roll, lose his guns, and get caught by the heavy assassin who threw him into a wall which hurt like a bitch.

"That hurt. Let me ask you something. If you have all this power, and all you do with it is hire yourselves out as mercenaries?"

"From what I hear..." The Heavy assassin said, picking Jason up by his head. "...we've got that in common."

"You heard wrong." Jason said throwing some kind of disks at the Heavy assassin that magnetized to his armor and exploded.

The katana assassin and Bo staff assassin ran in, swinging at him, only for him to duck the Bo staff assassin's strike, but got hit by the katana assassin's blade which cut his armor, but didn't cut through to his chest. He created a katana and blocked the katana assassin's strikes, as she tried hitting him before he kicked her away.

The Bo staff assassin swung at him causing him to duck before he kicked out at him, and the Bo staff assassin knocked the katana from his hands, leaving him to fight with his body.

He could feel the civilians' eyes on him. He needed to stop this fight fast, so they didn't get hurt.

The Bo staff assassin got through his guard and knocked him head over heels, onto his stomach.

"I thought you'd put up more of a fight." One of the assassins said.

"Oh, the fight hasn't started yet." Jason said. "I'm just stalling."

The Bo staff assassin lifted his Bo staff to deal a devastating blow when a piece of fabric wrapped around the Bo staff and ripped it out of the Bo staff assassin's hands.

The Heavy assassin ran at Aizawa who blocked and kicked him away.

"What took you so long?" Jason asked Aizawa.

"Shut up and fight!" Aizawa snapped.

Jason began fighting for real this time, and blocked the katana assassin's blades with his arms, before punching her in the gut and hit her back, slamming her into the ground before twisting around and blocking the Heavy assassin's hits, before slamming his fist into his face, sending him backwards as the katana assassin got to her feet and tried fighting Aizawa who was fighting with a knife, and his body.

Jason knocked the Heavy assassin back, and Aizawa pushed the katana assassin away so they could focus on the face cannon assassin and the Bo staff assassin.

The Bo staff assassin knocked Aizawa away and Jason ran over after kicking the face cannon assassin away before blocking the Bo staff assassin's blow, punching him before spin kicking him away, blocking the katana assassin's swing, and kneed her in the stomach before punching her to the ground, She glared at him, and swung, cutting him across his arm, causing him to cry out in surprise more than pain, grabbing his arm. She backed him up and swung out at him.

The Heavy assassin lifted a car and tried throwing it at Aizawa only for him to backflip over it, causing it to crash into the face cannon and explode before turning back to the heavy assassin, running at him, kicking him in the face, knocking him to the ground only for him to get back up and swing at him with his massive arms, causing Aizawa to jump, backflip, and handspring out of the way.

Jason ran at a wall, turned around, and launched himself at the katana assassin, kicking at her, landing, spinning, and grabbing her wrist before twisting it behind her arm, and hitting her, knocking her unconscious from the force of the hit, rather than where he hit her; he may have also broken some ribs, and some vertebrae, if not dislocating them. He spun her around and slammed her head into his knee, breaking her nose, sending the cartilage into her brain, killing her.

He heard fighting and saw Aizawa fighting the Bo staff assassin. He saw him grab the Bo staff with his capture weapon and pull him into his fist, knocking him unconscious when his face suddenly stopped.

The face cannon assassin jumped out from wherever he was hiding and blasted a beam of Light at Jason and Aizawa.

"LOOK OUT!" Jason said, jumping in front of Aizawa, taking the hit to chest, knocking the wind out of him.

Aizawa threw his capture scarf at the face cannon assassin, who rolled out of the way, and blasted Light at him. Aizawa rolled out of the way, but the face cannon assassin was faster and jumped at him, kicking down, only to have his foot caught by the capture weapon and flipped the opposite way. He landed and turned a roll into a kick that sent Aizawa sliding across the road and into a wall, tearing up his back, and he felt his collarbone break when he hit the wall at an angle. "GAH!" He shouted out in pain.

The pain was so intense that it caused him to black out from the pain, waking Jason up as the face cannon assassin walked over to him, glaring at the face cannon assassin who stepped on his arms and legs to keep him pinned.

"Awfully close." Jason said, rage leaking from his eyes, body, and words. "You afraid you'll miss?"

"Unfortunately, I can't kill you, but that doesn't mean you have to be conscious."

Jason looked into the face cannon and grew to twelve feet in height before flipping the face cannon assassin and punched him in the face hard enough to crush his head between his fist and the ground. Looking up, he saw the Heavy assassin walking towards Aizawa and, and raised his arms to bring them down on Aizawa, attempting to kill him.

Jason threw a cable around the heavy's neck and pulled with all of his strength, decapitating the heavy assassin, before walking to Aizawa.

Picking Aizawa up in one arm, he grabbed the members of the capture team who were still alive, and unconscious and headed back to U.A. at a walk so he didn't hurt Aizawa any more than he already was. This was going to suck.

Chapter 34: Hero Internships Part 2

Summary:

Rogue has been taken, and her friends, teachers, and mom are going to rescue her.

Chapter Text

Jason, Johnny, Izuku, Anna and Elsa, Raven, Himiko, Shinso, and Ochako were in Class 1A planning on how to save Rogue.

"I think the best option is to attack the commission from three sides. Izuku attacks from above, Johnny attacks from the ground, and I'll head in and get Rogue out."

"What about us." Anna asked.

"You two can flash freeze the commission after we save Rogue."

"Okay."

"And us?" Raven asked.

"I don't think we need infiltrators, so you stay with Anna and Elsa to protect them."

"Right." Himiko nodded.

"What about us?" Ochako asked.

"You two can stay and keep the teachers distracted." Jason told her and Shinso.

"Whoopie." Shinso said. "I'm going to take a nap."

"Leave it to us." Ochako said, a determined look on her face.

"Let's go save your sister." Raven said.

Jason nodded at the group.

Rogue woke in a room that smelled musty. Where was she? Looking around she saw three walls, a ceiling, a floor, and a glass wall with air holes.

Gulping, she felt something around her neck. Reaching up, her hand shaking, she felt her worst nightmare. A collar around her neck, grabbed it, she pulled with all her, now, normal strength. She didn't have her strength, her Quirk, her powers, they were gone.

"NO!" She shrieked in horror. "LOGAN! PROFESSOR! KURT! HELP!" Tears streaked down her cheeks. JASON! JOHNNY, MAMA! ANYONE! HELP!"

The people in the viewing room watched Rogue callously, watching to see what would happen. Would they be able to repurpose her, or would they lose her?

Back at U.A., the teachers listened in on Haywood's plan.

"It's a bold plan." Gang Orca said.

"We can't let them do this." Miss Joke said. "That would paint a target on their back, likely labeling them as vigilantes at best and Villains at worst."

"We know." Eraser head said.

"Then let's go get her back!" Mirko snapped.

"We need a better plan than raid the commission." Eraser replied.

"Your students are about to beat us to it!"

"That's why they aren't Heroes yet."

"Why can't we just expel them?" Vlad King asked.

"Because they would become vigilantes or villains." Aizawa said.

"Please." All Might said. "I'm sure that Young Midoriya will see reason, and help the rest see reason."

"Listen..." Eraser said. "...does that sound like he's seeing reason?"

The teachers listened as Izuku spoke up.

"I feel like I'm unworthy of using All Might's power." Izuku said. "I'm planning on going against the teacher's orders by going to rescue Rogue."

"Want to stay behind so you don't get in trouble?" Jason asked.

"No. Rogue is my friend, I'm going to rescue her. I just don't feel worthy to use All Might's power."

"It's not All Might's power anymore!" Jason snapped. "Or were you just lying to Himura during the Sports Festival?"

"No! I was being genuine."

"Then stop calling it All Might's power! It's yours. If you want to pay homage to All Might then use the prefectures instead of the United States as your smash attack names."

"Can I really do that?"

"It's your power, why not?"

"I guess you're right."

"I know I am. Any other objections?"

"No."

"Maybe I should go talk to them." All Might said. "Maybe at least young Midoriya will listen."

"Go on, All Might." Nedzu said. "We will wait for your return."

All Might stood and headed for Class 1A while the others listened in.

Jason looked at the others. "Any other objections?"

"No." The group said.

"Suit up." He said, creating a suit of armor with weapons galore.

Johnny pulled his motorcycle jacket on and pulled his chain over his shoulder, the rest of his gear on his bike.

Izuku pulled his mask down and his respirator up.

Himiko pulled her knives out of her backpack and looked like she was ready to cut people to ribbons.

Raven just looked at the kids and looked out the window. "Hang on Marie." She spoke.

The door opened and All Might walked in. "Students..." He spoke. "...please, do not do this. Let us rescue young Darkholme."

"What's your plan?" Jason asked.

"We are working on one to rescue young Darkholme as efficiently as possible."

"We've already come up with a plan All Might, and I mean no disrespect, but we are going to save Rogue."

"Young Midoriya." All Might looked at Izuku.

Izuku knelt down in front of All Might. "I'm sorry All Might, but Rogue is in danger, we won't leave her like that."

"What about the threat of detention or expulsion?"

"Are you expelling us?" Jason asked. "Because if you are then we no longer need your permission to do this, and we no longer need to worry about holding back against the commission."

"NO!" All Might said, shaking his hands. "No! You are not expelled."

"Are you going to physically detain us?"

"Could I if I wanted to?"

"Yes, but you'd have to break our bodies enough to keep us from going, maiming us, and possibly crippling us."

"No. I will not."

"Then we'll be leaving All Might. Tell the other teachers and Heroes that we will understand if we aren't welcome back after we rescue Rogue."

"I see. I will let them know."

"See you after we rescue Rogue." Jason said, leading the others out, leaving Ochako and Shinso with All Might.

All Might watched the students leave, shaken that young Haywood would go to such extremes to save his friend... he wasn't sure if that made him a hero or just reckless.

Walking back to the room with Ochako and Shinso on his heels, he saw the other's getting ready. "What's going on?" He asked.

"Suit up." Aizawa said. "We're going to follow them and when they get in over their heads, we'll step in."

Rogue panted on the floor, she had cried all her tears away, ripped her fingernails out trying to rip the collar off, screamed herself hoarse. She was exhausted and in pain.

The door opened and she looked up to see a man in medical gear, holding a needle.

Staggering to her feet she held her hands up, ready to fight.

The man waved his hand and four people ran in, grabbing Rogue.

Rogue put what Jason Haywood and Blood had trained her to do into practice, she fought. Using broken nails, she clawed exposed flesh. She kneed and kicked when she could, headbutted and bit a chunk of an ear out before she bit a chunk of neck out and tried biting a chunk of cheek out before someone grabbed her head and slammed it into the wall.

The four people piled upon her and the person in medical gear injected the contents of the needle into her hip.

Rogue felt the burn of the needle and raged, kicking out, she felt something break under the kick.

The man in the medical garb fell to the floor and swore.

Three of the four jumped off of Rogue and pulled the man out. The fourth grabbed her by the hair and slammed her head into the ground before running.

Rogue pulled herself into the corner and started crying, crying until whatever was in the needle pulled her into unconsciousness.

Jason, Johnny, Izuku, Anna, Elsa, Himiko, and Raven walked into the garage.

Johnny and Himiko walked over to Johnny's bike and mounted it before he pulled out of the garage and headed for the commission.

Izuku walked out of the garage and pulled himself into the air with Black Whip before he flew off towards the commission.

Jason, Raven, Anna, and Elsa walked over to the Tumbler and got in. Jason fired it up, the roar from the engines reverberating through and shaking the garage.

Jason pulled out of the garage and tore off towards the commission.

All Might, Eraser Head, Miss Joke, Mirko, Gang Orca, Vlad King, Nedzu, Neptune, and Nighteye walked out of the school and headed towards the Hero Commission. Today was the day the commission fell.

Touya, Shouto, and Tokoyami sat in the waiting room, waiting for news on Hawks.

"Do you think that he'll be okay?" Shouto asked.

"He better be." Touya said, holding his head in between his hands. "He better be."

A nurse came out. "Himura san?"

"Yes?" Touya said, getting up.

"Hawks has been checked out and will no longer need you to..."

Touya ran through the hospital and ran out the back to see Hawks being loaded into a van. Running outside he threw a fireball at the wheels, melting them, and ripping the door open to see Hawks and commission guards. "Get out." He said in his Dabi persona.

"We're taking Hawks back to commission to heal him. He needs help."

"Not your kind of help." Dabi reached in and pulled one guard out before burning them alive. The second guard ran away, only to be frozen in place by Shouto.

Dabi extinguished his flames and picked up Hawks, carrying him back to the hospital.

Johnny drove up to the commission and looked over his shoulder at Himiko. "This is where you get off." He spoke.

Himiko jumped off and looked at him. "Can I have some blood?"

Johnny held his wrist down to her and she bit his wrist, drinking his blood. "Thanks."

"Don't mention it." Johnny said, changing to the Rider as Himiko stepped away.

Looking at the Commission, Johnny revved his bike and tore off towards the Commission, reaching insane speeds before crashing into the wall, kicking his bike at someone before stalking towards another person and grabbing them by their throat. "You, guilty. Your soul is stained with the blood of the innocent, look into my eyes and feel their pain!"

Johnny saw every horrible, awful, evil thing the person had done. They were a "trainer" for the commission, more like torturer. They'd been responsible for torturing Hawks, Summoner, and Lady Nagant, as well as countless others to get what the Commission wanted. Soldiers, completely subservient to the Commission.

The trainer felt every bone he'd broken, even ones he didn't have, like wings, tails, antennae, fins, etc. over and over. Every bruise, every cut, scrape, and injury.

Johnny dropped the torturer who's eye's looked like burning charcoal. He grabbed his chain whip and swung at the fire extinguishers, making them explode with fire retardant foam going everywhere.

The sprinklers activated and the water began evaporating from the heat coming off of Johnny, making the Commission lobby hot and muggy while flooding other parts of the commission.

The ceiling shattered and Johnny looked up to see Izuku, shrouded in green lightning, come crashing down, cratering the ground under him.

Johnny held his fist out and Izuku fist bumped him before the two stood back-to-back, ready to fight off anyone who would try stopping them from rescuing Rogue.

Izuku flew towards the Commission, his thoughts on rescuing Rogue. He thought about what he should do, and before he knew it, he was at the Commission. He wrapped his body in Full Cowling.

"In honor of Rogue." He spoke through his respirator. "MISSISSIPPI SMASH!" He shouted, punching down at the commission, before crashing down into the lobby where he saw Johnny.

Johnny held his fist out and Izuku fist bumped him before the two stood back-to-back, ready to fight off anyone who would try stopping them from rescuing Rogue.

Izuku used Black Whip to pull a guard into him and punched them into the lobby desk.

Johnny used his chain whip to wrap around a guard's neck, "You, guilty." Pulling on the chain, breaking their neck.

They worked their way through the Commission attacking and defending, detaining those who Johnny deemed "Not Guilty." and killing those that he deemed "Guilty."

They worked through the Commission.

"Is it just me, or does this feel too easy?" Izuku asked.

"Yes, but then again, you are basically All Might, and I am the Devil's Bounty Hunter; we have multiple abilities and are fighting people who only have one Quirk. What can you expect?"

"I guess."

A door opened and multiple figures wearing tactical gear walked into the hallway, cutting them off.

Izuku activated Smokescreen and Johnny followed the trail of pure evil coming off of the figures.

Izuku waited until the smokescreen disappeared. His eyes widening when he saw two Johnny's.

"Izuku!" Both of the Johnny's said. "It's me, I'm the real Johnny. Stop him." They pointed at each other.

Gunfire filled the air and both Johnny's were hit, one catching the bullet in his teeth, the other dying from a headshot.

"The real Johnny is bulletproof and mostly unkillable, and in this case, extra." Jason's voice filled the air.

"Jason!" Izuku said.

"It's me. Let's save Rogue."

"Right." Johnny and Izuku said.

Jason was piloting the Tumbler towards the Commission. "Raven, take over." He said, leaning forward and pressed a button, causing the front of the Tumbler to open up and a motorcycle shot off towards the Commission.

Raven slowed the Tumbler to a stop and Himiko crawled into the Tumbler from the front.

"Hello Himiko." Raven said.

"Hello." Himiko replied. "Who's ready for violence?"

Raven smiled and shook her head before looking towards the Commission as Jason crashed through the front. "Be safe." She spoke.

Jason crashed through the front of the Commission and threw his bike before rolling to his feet, growing to his twelve-foot height as his body bulked up, heat rolled off of him, and his armor appeared on his new body.

Walking through the Commission, he passed people who'd been detained. He thought about killing them for being guilty by association, and he probably would have if Rogue wasn't the priority.

The detainees tried pushing as far away as they could when they saw him, but most of them were already pushed against the wall, and they couldn't get away any farther than they already were.

Jason scoffed and kept going when he saw Izuku looking at two Johnny's. Pulling a pistol out, he shot both Johnny's, and the real Johnny caught the bullet in his teeth. 'And they call me a drama queen.' Jason thought.

"The real Johnny is bulletproof and mostly unkillable, and in this case, extra." He spoke.

"Jason!" Izuku said.

"It's me. Let's save Rogue."

"Right." Johnny and Izuku said.

The trio moved through the halls when the vents opened up and released a gas into the air... the trio moved through it without difficulty.

Panels moved and shot tranquilizer darts at the trio, but they were burned to a crisp, or deflected before Jason and Johnny melted the tranquilizer guns.

Panels closed down around them, trapping them in the space. Jason and Johnny melted the wall and kept walking.

Water began flooding the room and spilling out the melted panel and into the hallway.

The trio moved through countless countermeasures until they got to the detention area and saw cubicles upon cubicles. Over the entrance they read:

Now entering Warehouse 13

"Guess we found Warehouse 13." Jason said.

They moved through the warehouse and found many people being held captive but couldn't find Rogue.

"Kill me." Several of the people trapped in the cubicles were begging.

Johnny looked over the people. "Them... innocent." He spoke.

"You two take care of them." Jason said. "I'll go find Rogue."

Johnny and Izuku nodded and went to work helping the people trapped in their cells while Jason went to find Rogue.

Rogue woke in a room. "Where...?" She looked around and saw all the amenities. "Where am I?" She asked.

"Good morning, Rogue." An unfamiliar voice said.

Rogue spun around and saw a woman. "Who are you!"

"I'm your handler. You will address me as Kaina or ma'am. Your training begins tomorrow, if you pass, you get to stay here, if not... you'll be taken to warehouse 13."

"And what happens if I say no?" Rogue asked.

Kaina touched a button on a remote and Rogue felt electricity course through her body before she fell to the floor. "Any other questions?"

"Fuck... you..." Rogue said.

Kaina pressed the button on the remote, shocking Rogue again.

The shocking stopped and Rogue looked up to see Kaina with a large hand, crushing her head. She closed her eyes, and lost consciousness.

Jason was walking through the facility when he saw a figure pulling someone out of a cubicle. He was average height for a man with thinning, graying hair, blue eyes, and American. "Who are you?" He asked.

"Whoa!" The man jumped, his Brooklyn accent on full display. "You startled me there."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Montgomery, Calvin Montgomery. I'm Calvina's dad. I made her."

"Yeah, everyone has a dad, it's part of being born."

"No, no. Well, yes, but Calvina is special."

"Special how?"

"Oh. She was born here. I only ever wanted to give her the chance to be a Hero, but the Commission took that away from me."

"How?"

"They turned her into an assassin. I never wanted that for her."

"I'm sorry."

"Thanks. I'm sorry Jason. I'm sorry that the Commission used her to kill your mom. They are holding Rogue in the living quarters."

"How do you know my name?" Jason asked, creating a gun.

"I know who you are because the Commission wants you. I don't want anything to do with the Commission anymore. I'm leaving the Commission, unfortunately, Calvina has passed away."

"I'm sorry for your loss."

"I hope that someday I'll be able to make up for it."

"Just try and be better, I guess."

"Yup. I'll just try and be better than I was yesterday. That's all I can do, though... I don't know if there's really anything that I CAN do."

"Maybe become a doctor?"

"Maybe. I'll be seeing you around Jason." Montgomery said as he laid Calvina on a gurney and rolled her away.

Jason kept going, not noticing what Montgomery had done to him. Even now, his body was changing on the genetic level.

He made his way to a cell where he saw Rogue writhing on the floor while a woman pressed a button on a remote. Seeing red he punched through the glass and grabbed the woman by the head, crushing it in his hand.

"Rogue." He spoke. "Rogue. Are you okay?" He saw the collar on her neck and broke it between two fingers. "You'll be okay." He spoke. "You'll be okay."

Raven was waiting in the Tumbler when there was a knock on the window. Looking outside she saw Aizawa standing outside.

"Aizawa Sensei!" Anna and Elsa shouted.

"What's going on Aizawa San?" Raven said.

"We're here to rescue Rogue." Aizawa explained. "We knew that Haywood wouldn't listen, so we listened in on your planning session and made contingencies to account for the holes."

"I see."

"Don't worry, we'll get your daughter back."

"Are you going to expel them?"

"No, we won't expel them."

"There will be consequences though?"

"There has to be. They have to know that their actions have consequences."

"I understand."

"LOOK!" Anna shouted, pointing at the Hero Commission.

Aizawa and Raven looked forward, seeing people walking out of the Commission.

Raven, Himiko, Anna, and Elsa stepped out of the Tumbler and walked forward with the teachers.

People were walking out of the Commission, others were carrying some out, and some were being carried by black tendrils leading towards Izuku.

Three figures caught their attention. One was wreathed in lightning with black tendrils coming from him, carrying many people from the commission, one was a flaming skeleton, and the third was a twelve-foot-tall demon, each carrying someone.

"ROGUE!" Raven shouted, running for Jason

The Heroes ran forward to check on their students and the ones rescued from the Hero Commission.

"Students!" Nedzu said. "How are you? Are you safe?"

"Yes." Jason, Johnny, and Izuku said.

"Excellent, excellent. When we get back to U.A. we will discuss your punishment."

"Okay." the trio said in unison.

"For now, let us call the police and Emergency Services."

Jason gave Rogue to Raven. "I told you that we would get Rogue back. We got her back."

Raven hugged Jason and sobbed and held Rogue's hand. "Marie." She spoke. "Marie."

Rogue opened her eyes. "Hey mama." She spoke.

"Marie." Raven sobbed. "Thank god you're okay."

"Thank Jason mama. He, Johnny, and Izuku rescued me."

"I know." Raven sobbed. "I know."

The police and paramedics showed up and had to call in back up with how many people needed help.

They put Rogue in the back of one of the ambulances and Raven jumped in, going to the hospital with them.

"Anyone else?" A paramedic asked the teachers and students.

"No..." Aizawa began when Jason fell to his knees before falling to the ground like a puppet with his strings cut. "Haywood?"

Jason didn't answer.

"Haywood!"

"JASON!" Anna, Elsa, Johnny, Izuku, Himiko, and Mirko shouted.

"YOUNG HAYWOOD!" All Might, Gang Orca, Vlad King, Nedzu, Neptune, and Nighteye shouted.

"HAYWOOD!" Aizawa and Miss Joke shouted.

Jason's body began changing on the genetic level. His DNA unwinding and being rewritten to change. A second Quirk had been tacked into his genetics thanks to Montgomery.

The Quirk that Montgomery had tacked onto his genetics was called Summoning Creation. It allowed him to create or summon anything that he could think of.

Summoning Creation and Hellfire Creation tried fighting for dominance, to be his main Quirk, but both Creation aspects of the Quirks countered each other, leaving Hellfire Summoning. The Summoning aspect of the Quirk was the stronger of the two, leaving his Quirk as Summoning letting Hellfire take a backseat.

His DNA sealed and Jason was forever changed. When he woke up, he would not be happy.

Rogue woke up in the hospital with a jolt.

"It's okay Marie." Raven said, running her hand through Rogue's hair. "You're safe, you're safe."

"I was so scared mama. They had a collar around my neck, and I couldn't use my Quirk, and I kept calling out for you and they injected something into me and I was so scared."

"Shh." Raven said. "Shh. I know. I know. I'm so sorry you had to go through that Marie, you're safe now. You aren't in danger anymore. That place is gone now."

"Okay." Rogue sighed. "Okay." She said, falling back to sleep.

Raven looked at Rogue and started crying. Listening to how they had treated her daughter, she was a little more than pissed. If they weren't dead, they would soon hope that they were.

Aizawa was sitting in Haywood's hospital room, waiting for him to wake up.

The air filled with the smell of ozone and Aizawa looked up to see a body on the floor.

Looking in the bed, he saw Haywood, so who was the person on the ground. Getting up, Aizawa walked over to door. "Can I get a nurse in here?" He asked before walking towards the person. "Are you okay?" He asked, reaching to shake the person's shoulder and was rewarded for his efforts by having the person grab his arm, spin around, twist his arm, break his arm, and dislocate his shoulder.

"FUCK!" Aizawa swore.

The person looked up and Aizawa was frozen in place. "H-Haywood?" He asked, looking over to see Haywood still sleeping in his hospital bed. "Who are you?" He asked, maneuvering himself in between Haywood and the doppelgänger.

The person looked like they were barely able to stand.

"Can I get a nurse in here!" He yelled.

A nurse ran in and saw Aizawa with a broken arm and a person who could barely stand and looked like they were a torture survivor. "Excuse me, sir." She said to the torture survivor. "Can you come with me?"

The figure lunged at the nurse and Aizawa jumped in front of her taking a knee to the face as reward, he fell on his back, suffering whiplash and getting a concussion. The figure grabbed his other arm and broke it at the elbow before dislocating his other shoulder.

"AAAHHHH!" Aizawa shouted.

"Sensei!" Someone yelled.

Aizawa rolled over and looked up to see Midoriya. "Problem child! Run! Get Joke!" He shouted.

Th figure jumped at Izuku who blocked and began fighting the figure with his Dragon Style Kung Fu, and within seconds had the figure on the defense.

The figure jumped back and Izuku used Black Whip to catch him. "Nurse!" He shouted.

The nurse ran up and administered an injection to the figure. "Lay him on the floor."

Izuku laid the figure on the floor, and they fell into unconsciousness. "Sensei. Are you okay?"

"Two broken arms." Aizawa said. "Dislocated shoulders, whiplash, concussion, and bruised tailbone."

Another nurse came into the room followed by Emi Fukukado, Shinso, Anna, Elsa, Agnarr, Iduna, Johnny, Crash, Mona, Himiko, Inko, Hizashi, Eri, Rogue, Raven, Mirko, and Ochako.

"Is Jason okay?" Eri asked.

"Yes." Inko said, rubbing her back, "He's just resting."

"Okay."

"Sensei." Anna asked. "What happened?"

"Emi went to get food, and while she was gone, I saw him..." Aizawa pointed at the person on the ground. "...lying on the ground. I called for a nurse and went to check on him. He broke my arms and dislocated my shoulders."

"Shit Sensei." Johnny said. "Way to make the rest of us look bad."

The second nurse maneuvered Aizawa to a chair and began looking at his arms and head.

A doctor came in and looked around. "What happened?" She asked.

Aizawa explained what had happened and they took the figure to an examination room so they could check them over and run tests if they needed to so they could figure out what was wrong and what had happened to him.

The doctor looked at Aizawa and ordered for X-Rays, his shoulders to be relocated, the bones set, healed, and put in slings if need be.

Aizawa came back to Haywood's room, his shoulders relocated and arms in slings, to see the doctor explaining something. "Excuse me doctor." He spoke. "Could you tell me what you're talking about?"

"The person you found in this room. We found a name."

"What is it?"

"Jason Todd."

Everyone looked at Jason, lying unconscious in his bed.

"He was suffering from infections, he's been tortured, broken bones, acid burns, shredded skin, some of the bones in his hands have been cut, gouged, and stabbed, and he has the letter J branded into the left side of his face under his eye."

Aizawa clenched his hands into fists while the others felt other emotions. Someone had tortured Haywood.

"How is that possible?" Mirko asked. "Jason is sleeping right there."

"His DNA says that he is Jason Todd."

"A clone?" Johnny asked.

"A shapeshifter?" Himiko asked.

"A shapeshifter is unlikely." The doctor said. "It would be unlikely that they could make their DNA match Haywood's exactly, though a clone might make sense."

"Who's cloning Haywood?" Aizawa demanded.

"We don't know, and until he wakes up, we won't be able to find out."

"Thank you doctor."

"You're welcome." The doctor left.

"Who could do that to Jason?" Anna asked, crying.

Elsa and Iduna hugged her and Agnarr held his family.

Rogue held onto Raven, both crying.

Eri didn't understand, thankfully, but she knew that everyone was sad, and so she felt sympathetic.

Izuku and Johnny looked angry, like they wanted to hunt down whoever had done that to Jason, regardless of it was a clone or not.

Aizawa looked at Emi and they both wanted to find out who'd done that to Haywood.

Beep...

'What?' Jason thought. 'Where am I?'

Beep...

'That's a heart monitor.'

Beep...

'Am I in the hospital?'

Beep...

'Or... am I back at the commission?'

Beep...

'Did we fail?'

Beep...

'Did they catch us?'

Beep...

Opening his eyes, Jason looked up and around and saw a hospital room. Trying to move he couldn't. "Hello?" He asked.

"Haywood." Aizawa Sensei's voice filled the room.

"Sensei?" He asked.

"I'm here Haywood. You collapsed after the Commission assault."

"Oh. Did we save Rogue?"

"Yeah, problem child, you did."

"That's good." Jason shuddered.

"What's wrong?"

"I feel cold."

"Your body temperature dropped. It went from 93.3 degrees to 40 degrees."

"What? Why?"

"We aren't sure. They need to run tests."

"Okay."

"I'll go get the nurse."

"Thanks Sensei, and sensei."

"Yes?"

"I'm not sorry for going to get Rogue. Expel me if you want, but I don't regret it."

"Why would I expel a Hero in Training?" Aizawa asked. "You were an intern, not a student."

"I see. Thanks Sensei."

"Don't thank me yet, there will still be consequences."

"Understood Sensei."

"Good." Aizawa said as he left to get the nurse.

"Sensei." Jason asked when he saw Aizawa's arms, what happened to your arms?

"We'll talk about it later problem child."

"Okay sensei." Jason said.

Jason went through a series of tests and waited for the results.

He waited, and waited, and waited, and waited. He waited until a doctor came in.

"Young Haywood." The doctor said.

"Yes?"

"I have news, whether it is good or bad, that will be for you to decide."

"What is it?"

"Your Quirk, what is it called?"

"Hellfire Creation."

"I see. well, we can't find it."

"What?" Jason asked, not sure if he heard that right, but feeling a seed of anxiety grow in his stomach.

"We can't find your Quirk... well, we can't find Hellfire Creation. We did find A Quirk."

"What is it called?"

"Summoning."

"What?"

"You have a new Quirk, an evolution perhaps?"

"Is that why I'm so cold all of the sudden?"

"Perhaps. We will have a Quirk Therapist visit you and help you understand what your new Quirk is and offers you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome young Haywood. I am sorry for the loss your old Quirk, but may your new Quirk aid you just as well as your old Quirk."

Jason nodded.

With that, the doctor left to care for other patients.

Jason thought about his old Quirk, clenching his fists, he felt weak, weaker than he'd ever felt... correction, the one time he'd felt this weak was when Aizawa Sensei had taken his Quirk away.

He thought about his new Quirk and a screen appeared in front of him. It said one word and had rows of five pictures with words next to them.

Summon:

Jason Todd/Robin/Arkham Knight: Summoned.

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Red Avatar: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Crimson Hunter: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/J'son T'odd: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Crimson Crusader: Summon?

Jason looked at each picture. What did this mean? Who were these people? He looked at the Arkham Knight Jason Todd, the one that said "Summoned". Why was he summoned? How was he summoned.

The Arkham Knight lit up and the screen said: Do you want to dismiss Jason Todd/Robin/Arkham Knight? Y/N?

Yes? He thought.

The screen changed.

Summon:

Jason Todd/Robin/Arkham Knight: Unable to Summon.

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Red Avatar: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Crimson Hunter: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/J'son T'odd: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Crimson Crusader: Summon?

"Haywood?" Aizawa said. "The doctor just told me what had happened. The Quirk Therapist will be here tomorrow, try not to use your Quirk until then."

"I think I already have." Jason admitted.

"Why do you think that you already have?"

"I see a screen in front of my face."

"Oh? What does the screen say?"

"At first it said that it wanted me to summon one of five, and that I'd already summoned one of them. Now it says that I'm not able to summon one of them because I sent him back, but I can summon four others."

"Please don't. If my hunch is correct, then the one you sent away is the one who broke my arms."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"It wasn't your fault. You have a new Quirk, and you are getting used to it, so, wait for the Quirk Therapist."

"Okay, I will."

"I have to go back to school tomorrow, so don't give the staff too much trouble."

"I won't sensei. Why aren't your arms fully healed though?"

"There hasn't been an available healer around, they were taking care of other patients. I'll ask the old lady to heal me up tomorrow."

"Okay."

"You'll get through this problem child. We'll have to reevaluate your results of the Quirk Assessment exam after you better understand your Quirk, so train so you don't get last place. If you don't get into the top ten this time, I'll expel you, and I'm being serious. I won't allow you to become a Hero if you let this hold you back. I don't expect you to make it to top five, but the top ten should be easily within your reach."

Jason looked at Aizawa. "Fine Sensei. "I'll make sure the train hard and make it into the top ten."

"Good. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, Sensei."

Aizawa left and looked at the group outside. "You can go inside. It doesn't look like his Quirk is going to activate. I'm sorry that I kept you away from him for now, please accept my apology."

"Was he scared?" Iduna asked.

"This is Haywood we're talking about; he doesn't show fear. You can ask him yourself." Aizawa said, leaving with Emi.

The group walked into Jason's room while Aizawa and Emi left.

Jason was inside his room, pulling his blanket up to his chin, he was so fucking cold. His body temperature had dropped one hundred degrees. Above average body temperature for a normal person, but he'd not been normal since that bastard had changed him.

The door opened and before he could put up a facade his friends and family came in.

"Jason?" Iduna asked. "You okay?"

"Cold." He admitted, "so fucking cold. I can't get warm."

Johnny, Rogue, Raven, and Himiko walked over to Jason's bedside. Johnny became the Rider while Himiko and Raven changed into the Rider, and Rogue activated Johnny's Quirk.

Inko headed to the cafeteria to get a bowl of soup and Iduna headed to the Gift Shop to get a blanket and a jacket.

"How are you doing Rogue?" Jason asked, feeling content in the warmth.

"I'm good, thanks to you guys, all of you."

"You're welcome." Jason said.

"I'm sorry." Rogue said.

"I would do it all over again, even if it meant I lost my Quirk again."

"NO!" The group shouted.

"Why?" Jason asked.

"Why do you always do this Jason!" Raven asked. "You always do this whenever you get hurt?"

"I don't know. I guess it keeps me from feeling numb."

"Do you feel numb a lot?"

"Sometimes I guess."

Raven hugged Jason. "I'm sorry Jason. I'm so sorry."

Jason leaned into the hug and felt tears roll down his cheeks. "I fucking hate this." He cried.

"I know." Raven said. "I know." She ran her hand through his hair.

The others watched and Rogue joined the hug, deactivating her borrowed Quirk so she didn't hurt Jason or her mom.

Inko and Iduna came back to the room, Inko with some soup and Iduna with a hoodie and a blanket. The hoodie said: "I came in for a flu shot and left without my appendix." She thought that it would make Jason smile.

They walked into the room and saw Raven and Rogue hugging Jason while the others watched. Joining the group, they waited for the trio to finish the hug.

Jason looked up and saw Inko and Iduna. "Hi." He said, wiping his eyes on his sleeves.

"Here you go dear." Iduna said, handing him the blanket and hoodie.

Jason looked at the hoodie and laughed a watery laugh. "Thanks, I needed this." He chuckled, pulling the hoodie on and wrapping the blanket around his shoulders.

"Here you go Jason." Inko said, handing him the soup.

Jason sipped at the soup, cupping it between his hands. "Thanks, Inko." He spoke.

"You're welcome." She spoke.

The group sat and talked late into the night until visiting hours were over. Raven and Rogue stayed while everyone else went home.

That night Raven and Rogue watched as a restless Jason tried to sleep but couldn't.

Jason tried to sleep, but he couldn't get comfortable. He finally lost consciousness around 4:30 in the morning.

Raven and Rogue were just waking up when they finally saw Jason fall asleep.

"I'm glad he's asleep." Rogue said.

"So am I." Raven agreed. "Let's go see if the cafeteria is open. We can get breakfast, and then you can get ready for Mirko and Ochako come to pick you up."

"Okay." Rogue said.

Raven and Rogue headed to the cafeteria and ordered breakfast, afterwards they headed back to Jason's room and saw him still asleep.

Mirko and Ochako stopped by and picked up Rogue, taking her back to U.A. while Raven stayed with Jason.

After a few hours a woman knocked on the door and walked in. "Excuse me, I'm Dr. Yukina Sato."

"I'm Raven Darkholme. This is Jason Todd." She pointed at the bed where Jason was sleeping.

"Should I come back?"

"He didn't get to sleep until 4:30. I'm sure that he'll sleep better knowing whatever you can do to help him." She shook Jason. "Jason. The Quirk Counselor is here."

Jason woke up and looked at the counselor. "Hello." He spoke.

"Hello." Dr. Sato said. "What can you tell me about your new Quirk?"

"I see a screen, and on that screen, it gives me five options."

"What are the options?"

Jason looked at the screen.

Summon:

Jason Todd/Robin/Father Jason Todd: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood: Gotham Knight: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Jason Montgomery: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Jason Todd: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Crimson Crusader: Summon?

Jason looked at Dr. Sato and told her what he saw.

"Why don't you start by summoning the first one?" Dr. Sato suggested.

Jason thought about Summoning Father Jason Todd.

An older man wearing Cassock appeared in the room filling the room with the smell of Ozone. "Hmm?" He asked. "Hello. Who are you? Do you need help?" He asked, looking around and saw Jason lying in bed. "Hello young man, may I be of service to you?"

"Who are you?" Jason asked.

"I would say that I'm an older version of you." Father Jason Todd said.

Jason didn't want to believe it, but he had to.

"Are you able to summon the second one?" Dr. Sato said.

Jason looked at the screen and looked at the second name and summoned the Gotham Knight Jason Todd to see an older man, built like a truck. He had a buzzcut around most of his head with a patch of hair on the top. He had a scar going from the top of his head down to his upper lip.

"Huh?" He asked, where am I?"

"The Peaky Blinder's called." Jason said. "They want their haircut back."

The Gotham Knight Jason looked at him. "Hey, I happen to like this haircut, and I think that you are a little too young to be watching that show.."

"Who are you?" Raven asked.

The Gotham Knight Jason looked at Raven. "Oh dude, is this your mom?" He asked.

"Stepmom." Jason said. "My mom died, and she adopted me as her own."

"Nice dude." He said, looking at Raven. "I'm Jason Todd. I'm from a universe where I came to terms with my death and the man who raised me and our choices. My and my brother's and... sister? I guess. We protect Gotham now, after our dad died."

"Gotham?" Raven asked.

"You don't know what Gotham is?" Gotham Knight Jason asked, looking at the other Jason. "Did you get out of the life? Where are we?"

"Japan." Jason said. "I summoned you here with my Quirk."

"Quirk? What's a Quirk?"

"It's a Meta Gene."

"Oh, so, you're a Meta?"

"Yeah. It changed from what it was."

"What was it?"

"Hellfire Creation. It allowed me to create anything out of hellfire."

"Sounds dangerous."

"It was. I melted a dude's face off for hurting one of my friends."

"Oh. Did he deserve it?"

"He hurt one of my friends."

"But did he deserve you melting his face off?"

Jason looked at the third Jason and Summoned him.

The older man looked around the room. "The My Hero Academia Universe?" He asked. "Jason Haywood. I'm sorry for everything that you have lost. Do not worry, it will get better, it will be worth it. Don't worry."

Jason summoned the fourth Jason and looked at a man who wore very loose-fitting clothes and looked around.

"Um... can you send me back?" He asked. "I have a class in like five minutes."

Jason sent him back and summoned the last Jason... which was a mistake.

The fifth Jason appeared, and Jason could immediately feel his danger sense go off.

Across the world an oppressive aura overcame everyone, making them feel anxious for reasons they couldn't identify. A shadow overlayed itself over the inhabitants and structures, melding with the shadows, becoming one with them. The majority of people didn't seem to notice, but a handful of people worldwide noticed.

Aizawa looked down to see that his shadow seemed more active than usual. He activated his Quirk, but nothing happened. He would keep an eye on his shadow throughout the day and if the shadow became hostile, he would find a way to deal with it.

Nedzu looked down to see his shadow acting unusual. "Hello." He said to his shadow, talking to the entity that now occupied his shadow.

"Hello." The Entity said back.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine, I guess. I don't really know why I'm here, but I'm doing okay."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Jason Todd. Though you may also call me Jason Haywood, Jason Xiao Long, Jason Schnee, Jason Schnee-Todd, Jason Todd-Schnee. All of these names are acceptable."

"I see. You aren't from this world or universe, are you?"

"This world is not Remnant, is it?"

"No. The country you are currently in is called Japan."

"Japan. Odd name for a world, but it's not my world."

"You misunderstand. Japan is not this world. It is a country on this world. We have many countries on this world."

"Are these countries similar to Kingdoms?"

"I suppose they could be comparable to kingdoms, yes."

"I see. Your world is full of strife."

"That is true, but we do our best to try and keep the peace, but we are not always successful."

"I hope that you don't mind, but I am currently hunting down and killing people who are trafficking and enslaving others and freeing their slaves."

"Thank you. We've had quite the issue with the slave trade and human trafficking. It is a truly horrific practice."

"You aren't going to ask me not to kill the people responsible?"

"No, in fact I have a request?"

"What is it?"

"Make it hurt."

The entity in his shadow laughed. "I have a feeling that you and I would be very good friends."

"They are profiting on another's pain and suffering. They do not deserve a slow Painless death. They deserve pain and suffering."

"What is your name?"

"Nedzu. Am I a Mouse? A dog? A bear?"

"If I had to guess, I would say that you are a stout."

Nedzu looked at his shadow. "You are only the third person who has gotten it right without me having to tell them."

"I see. Nedzu. From one sadist to another, may I ask for your hand in friendship?"

"Do you have a corporeal form, or are you just shadow Mr. Todd?"

A figure appeared out of the shadow and looked down at Nedzu.

Nedzu looked at the figure. "You are indeed Jason Todd, but not our Jason Haywood."

"No, I'm currently talking to him, as well as an immortal."

"Really? An immortal?"

"Yes. He's trying to get me to join him. He is terrified of me."

"He is, how can you tell?"

"Yes. Aside from being able to smell it rolling off of him, but he's trying to get me to join his side. People only try to get me to join them when they realize that they are completely outmatched and outclassed by me."

"Oh? Is he outmatched and outclassed by you?"

"I could wipe out your entire world without breaking a sweat."

"I suppose you could if you wiped out the entire human trafficking and sex trade."

Jason's shadow opened and corpses and half dead individuals clawed at Nedzu begging for help.

Nedzu looked at them before looking at Jason. "I believe you." He said, looking back at the half dead people. "You brought this upon yourselves." He said, looking back at Jason. "I believe you Mr. Todd. Thank you."

Jason closed his shadow, pulling the corpses and half dead individuals back into his shadow. "Don't worry. Their suffering has only begun. People will be finding them and pieces of them for decades to come. I've also made it clear what will happen if the human trafficking and slave trade keeps going."

"Does that mean that you are staying here?"

"No. I have a wife and children to get back to. No, I just killed them in the most horrific way in front of other people. Do you know how fast word like this travels? It's like a wildfire."

"I see. May I ask what you did to get your message out there?"

"Furnaces, car crushers, and industrial shredders were some of them."

"I see." Nedzu gulped.

"So, as you can see. I have more than enough power to wipe out your world without breaking a sweat."

"I believe you, so, why don't you?"

"I have to go back home, and I can't do that if the person who brought me here is dead. I have a wife and children to get home to."

"Oh. May I ask how long you and your wife have been married?"

"Depends on how long you want to count. It's either one hundred years, or one hundred and twenty years if you want to count the time before we were sent back in time."

"You were sent back in time?"

"Yes. TLDR, we were at war, lost and were sent back in time to not lose the war. So, if you count the time before we were able to get married again, then its one hundred and twenty years."

"May I ask how old you are?"

"Again, if you count the time before we were sent back in time, one hundred and forty years old."

"Oh my. You look to be in amazing shape for someone so old."

"I'm actually still young according to the standards of Remnant."

"Oh?"

"Yes. We live for very long lives. Since we discovered medical science and killed the two immortals responsible for most if not all of our troubles, our lifespans have drastically increased. The youngest we die of natural causes is five hundred years old."

"Five hundred?!" Nedzu asked, shocked.

"Yes."

"May I ask the oldest you live?"

"If we are lucky, we can live to one thousand, but that is more wishful thinking than anything. Most people die well before then."

"What would you say the average lifespan is on Remnant? If I may ask."

"On average?"

"Yes."

"Seven hundred and fifty years old, conservatively."

"Oh my."

"Yes."

"I have so many questions."

"I'll answer as many as I can."

"What allows you to live so long?"

"Most people believe that it's so we don't go extinct because of the Grimm. Others believe that it's because our souls keep us alive. And yet others believe that it's an evolutionary trait."

"What do you believe?"

"I know the answer as to why we live so long?"

"Oh? What is it?"

"It's all of the above. Our souls being an external force makes us live longer because they protect us from outside forces, but they take damage and the more damage our souls take the stronger our souls become meaning that the stronger our souls become the longer we live. We evolved this way because the Grimm were such a massive threat that we needed the longer lifespans in order to try and keep the world populated."

"I see. What is the average number of offspring that one of your kind can have during a lifetime?"

"Well. A carrier can get pregnant once every two years. They conceive, carry the child/children for nine months, and then they use the next fifteen months to recover, and menopause usually happens when a carrier hits five hundred years old, but I've heard of it happening as young as three hundred or not coming until they are six hundred or seven hundred. It's not necessarily a law to have children, but it's sort of a soft expectation to have children as soon as you are married if not sooner, and that you have as many children as possible between the time you have your first child, and the carrier reaches menopause."

"That many children? What is the age of consent on Remnant?"

"Sixteen?"

"So, if you have a child at sixteen, and have a child every two years until you reach, let's say, seven hundred... that's 392 children."

"Yes, but that is being generous. My biological parents had two children, my mom left for a bit, came back and they had three more. My aunt and uncle had one, my aunt disappeared for a bit, and when she returned, they had another kid. My sister and brother-in-law have had three children, my cousin and cousin-in-law had six, and my wife and I have had nineteen and are expecting twins."

"So many?" Nedzu asked, shocked.

"Yes. Not every two years. Our oldest is one hundred next year, then the next two are seventy-eight. The next two are seventy-six. The next two are turning seventy this year. Then we've got the eighteen-year-olds, the sixteen-year-olds, the fourteen-year-olds, the twelve-year-olds, the five-year-olds, and the two on the way."

"Oh my. That is a lot?"

"We are definitely one of the biggest families in Remnant, but not THE biggest."

"There's a family bigger than yours?"

"Yes. A family who started as soon as they graduated and got married at twenty-one, and they've had at least one child every two years, but up to eight in one go."

"Eight?"

"Yes. She was on bedrest for that entire pregnancy, and they took a break for a decade after that so she could get back in shape after being in bed for six months."

"Oh my."

"Yeah. They hold the record for biggest family at 169 children."

"One-hundred-and-sixty-nine!" Nedzu shouted.

"Yes. one set of octuplets, three sets of septuplets, eight sets of sextuplets, nine sets of quintuplets, five sets of quadruplets, two sets of triplets, nine sets of twins, and three sets of one child."

"Oh my."

"Yes. The reason for all the children is that Geoff feels responsible for all the people he killed during the war. He was a pacifist for so long, but given enough pressure, even a good man will break." Jason said, looking saddened by the memory.

"Oh. I'm so sorry."

"Thinking about him reminds me of just how different we are. He is a good man... I'm not."

"There are people who are free right now who might argue otherwise." Nedzu offered.

"Perhaps..." Jason looked around. "It appears as though I am leaving. I just did something stupid, and my wife is yelling at me across our Soul Bond."

"Soul Bond?"

"Yes. I'll have to tell you about it the next time I visit."

"You'll be back?"

"More than likely. It appears that Jason Haywood has been given permission to summon me back, conditionally."

"Oh. I see. I look forward to your next visit. May I ask what you did to make your wife so upset?"

"I shot myself in the head." Jason said before he disappeared, leaving Nedzu in shock.

"Jason Todd, shot himself? In the head?"

All for One felt something that he hadn't in a very long time. In fact, he had no memory of ever feeling this sense of unease before. He looked around but could see nothing. Using a telepathy Quirk he'd acquired he felt a mind that sent unease through his body. This mind was much more formidable than anything he'd ever seen or felt before. He had to make an ally of the owner of this mind before it found another ally that turned the owner of the mind against him. "Hello." He thought.

"Who are you?" The owner of the mind said, unkindly.

"My name is All for One."

"All for One? Really? Classic villain name."

"There are those who call me a villain..."

"But you see yourself as the hero?"

"Not hero, no, but I see myself as... necessary."

"Of fucking course you do. So, what's your backstory or whatever?"

"I've seen how those with Quirks treat those without or those who have... villainous Quirks. I wish to rectify that."

"How?"

"By tearing Hero Society down and letting the strong rule over the weak."

"You do realize that by that logic; I would be ruling over your weak ass, right."

"Excuse me?"

"Oh please. I can smell the fear and anxiety rolling off you in waves. You are three seconds away from shitting yourself and you haven't even seen me, just felt my presence."

"How did you..."

"I am the most powerful person in my world, and I have killed two immortals."

All for One gulped at that.

"I know that you are only one of hundreds of immortals, hell, there is one living in your sun."

"WHAT!"

"Yeah. There's someone just living in the sun. I'm pretty sure that he is the strongest person here, maybe even stronger than me, and if I'm saying that someone is strong, they are. You don't even rank in the top five people who are a threat to me. Maybe top ten, but not even top five."

All for One was upset, beyond upset if he was being honest. He was being told by this voice that he was nothing special. He was All for One. He was supposed to be feared by all. He was supposed to be a ghost, a name that filled people with fear and anxiety. He was terror incarnate.

"Hey. What does this do?" The voice said. "Oh, this is life support. You're on Death's Door, aren't you?"

"DON'T!" All for One snapped.

"Why?" The voice asked, venom coating the word with enough vitriol that it might as well have cut All for One.

All for One flinched away. He had to have something in his repertoire of Quirks that could save him from this... thing. This monster.

"Don't." The voice said. "If you attack me, I will pull you into my Shadow Realm and I will kill you slowly and painfully, keeping you alive as long as possible, drawing your agony out as long as possible."

"Very well. A truce?"

"You still haven't given me a reason to not pull your plug."

Before the voice could do anything, it disappeared.

All for One took a breath. He could relax now. He had to find Quirks that could defend against the owner of the voice. He had to live to see his vision come to fruition.

Around the word, people with psychic, telepathic, empathic, sympathetic, or intelligence Quirks, people with excellent senses, or people who were in tune with themselves, their bodies, or their emotions noticed the shadows. Out of nearly eight billion people on the planet, only around 10,000 people were able to acknowledge the Shadow that had overlaid the world.

The shadow stayed for a while before disappearing, taking the oppressive aura with it, the anxiety people were feeling, lifting, leaving them feeling serene.

Whatever that shadow was, it had shown up, appeared, and left, leaving the people thinking that it was probably just another Quirk, which; it was. A Quirk that was given to a fifteen-year-old who's Quirk had changed over the last week. A Quirk that was unlike anything they had ever seen before. A Quirk that would forever change the Hierarchy of power in this universe forever. The power to summon even stronger versions of oneself was unprecedented and overpowered. A Quirk that was a Swiss army knife to give you exactly what you would need in the moment. How would anyone be able to compete with such a powerful Quirk?

However, for a fifteen-year-old in the hospital, he didn't see it that way. He saw his original Quirk as the more powerful of the two because of its physical benefits. The uncertainty of his future leading him down a darker path than the one he was originally on. Would he be able to come back from this dark path before he went too far? Would he see the value of his new Quirk? Would he still be able to be a Hero with this new Quirk? These and other questions, would have to be answered in time. Only time would give him the answers he sought.

As for others, both in this universe as well as others, knew the truth. He was more of a threat now than he was with his other Quirk. He could be an amazing Hero, a great Vigilante or Anti-Hero, or a terrifying villain.

What path will he choose? Which path will he follow? Can his friends, family, teachers, and new Quirk lead him down a path that his mother would be proud of? That his friends, family, and teachers would be proud of? That is a good question.

Chapter 35: Hero Internships Part 3.

Summary:

Going back one week we see what happened before Jason was hospitalized before picking up where we left Jason in his hospital room with the other Jason.

Chapter Text

One week ago

Jason carried Aizawa into the Recovery Girls office at U.A. where Recovery Girl and Honjou Kaede were waiting, both seeming content, and both tending to students.

Jason laid Aizawa on a bed and looked at them. "Please look after Aizawa Sensei." He spoke. "He has a broken collar bone."

"What happened?" Recovery Girl asked.

"The commission took Rogue. They tried taking me. Aizawa Sensei stopped them."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going after Rogue." Jason said, leaving the room.

Recovery Girl handed Honjou some gummies. "I give you permission to use your Quirk on Aizawa. He needs to go after young Haywood."

Honjou activated her Quirk, healing Aizawa, and ate the gummies afterwords before laying down to take a nap.

Aizawa woke up feeling healed and refreshed. The old lady couldn't have done that. Did Haywood take him to the hospital?

Opening his eyes he looked around and saw that he was at U.A.

"Aizawa." Recovery Girl said. "You need to go after young Haywood. He said that he was going to rescue young Darkholme."

"Damn it, Haywood." He snapped. "How did you heal me?" He asked Recovery Girl.

"I allowed Young Honjou to use her Quirk to heal you. Young Haywood needs to be stopped before he does something reckless."

"Tell Young Honjou thanks for me." Aizawa said, leaving the nurses office for Nedzu's office, walking in when he the door opened. "We need to find Haywood before he gets himself captured or killed." He told the rat.

"Young Haywood is in the Support Class talking to Young Hatsume."

Aizawa turned to leave.

"Shouta." Nedzu said. "I've called the other's telling them to come back to U.A. so we can strategize on how to get Young Darkholme back."

"Are you going to stop Haywood?"

"No."

"Nedzu!"

"Let me explain." Nedzu held his hand up.

"I'm listening."

"I'm going to let Young Haywood invade the commission, and when he fails... we will be there to pull him out of the fire, and, hopefully, with any luck. He will gain some humility, this will hurt him, but hopefully it will save him."

Aizawa held his hand to his face. "Isn't there any other way?"

"No." Jean said, walking into the room. "If there were, we would have found it by now. He's in pain and lashing out at people he feels are responsible for his pain. In this case, the commission. This is the only way."

"Kami above." Aizawa said. "Fine. But only if you are sure."

"I am."

"Fine. Let's get the others."

Jason was in the support lab with Mei. "Is that gadget I asked for ready?"

"No, and I don't feel comfortable making it."

"Why?"

"You are asking me to make a branding iron that goes on your utility belt. Why do you even need a branding iron for your utility belt?"

"I need it for people like the commission, people like Overhaul, people like Willis Todd."

"No!" Mei snapped. "You are trying to cause pain in the people who hurt you. That is not a Hero. You want to be a Hero, be it without your Branding Iron of Justice or whatever it's called."

Jason took a deep breath. "Okay. I'll let you get back to work."

"Thank you." Mei said, getting back to work.

Jason left the lab and headed to class 1A.

Johnny woke up and punched out, changing into the Rider and jumped up. "Bring it on!" He shouted as the Rider.

"Young Zarathos." Gang Orca said. "You are safe. You are at my agency, but Principal Nedzu called and wants us back at U.A."

"Okay."

"You're going to trust me, just like that? Someone did try kidnapping you."

"I can tell you are who you are and that you are telling the truth. I could also incinerate your entire agency if I wanted to. Want me to try?" He tilted his head with the question, angsitly.

"Please don't."

"Good. Let's go."

Gang Orca and Johnny headed to U.A.

Anna and Elsa led the group into U.A.

"Centepieder." Sir Nighteye said. "Take Mirio and Bubble Girl back to the agency and then take them on patrol."

"Yes sir." Centepieder said.

Nighteye, Neptune, Anna, and Elsa headed to Nedzu's office, but were met by Eraser Head.

"Sensei?" Anna asked. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm going to help rescue Rogue."

"Eraser." Nighteye said. "I need to talk to you."

"Neptune." Eraser said. "We're in the conference room. Martin, go find Haywood. He's not taking Rogue's abduction well."

"I need to talk to you about Haywood." Nighteye said.

"This way." Eraser led Nighteye to the teacher's lounge where Jean was waiting. "What is it?" Eraser asked. "One of my students is missing and another student is unhinged."

"Something is going to happen to Haywood."

"I know." Jean said. "It must happen."

"Why?" Nighteye asked.

"Do you know about my Quirk?"

"It's unpredictable."

"Yes. The future is in flux. What is going to happen MUST happen in order to stabilize the future, otherwise... we lose."

"Lose what?"

"Everything."

Nighteye looked at Jean. "What?"

"This has to happen, or the extinction of the world is imminent."

"Then... this has to happen?"

"Yes. May I ask, how you found out?"

"One of the people we caught told us."

"Did they tell you their name?"

"Montgomery. That was all he told us. His name was Montgomery."

"Montgomery?" Jean asked.

"Yes, why?"

"We had someone named Montgomerie help with the defense of Musutafu and U.A. Is Montgomery related to her?"

"He didn't say anything about any family, but maybe he's doing it anonymously to keep his family safe."

"Maybe."

"Nedzu is waiting for us." Aizawa said. "Let's go."

The heroes headed towards the conference room.

"Welcome." Nedzu said. "We have much to discuss."

The Heroes arrived at the HPSC to see the Tumbler sitting there.

Aizawa knocked on the window.

"Aizawa San?" Raven Darkholme said.

"Aizawa Sensei!" Anna and Elsa Martin shouted.

The group talked until Anna pointed at the commission and the group watched Jason, Johnny, and Izuku walk out, carrying Rogue and others.

They got Rogue and the other's taken to the hospital.

They watched as Jason collapsed and was put on a stretcher and rushed to the hospital.

"What the hell was that?" Aizawa asked.

"I'm not sure." Nedzu said. "But your intern and student need you."

"You're right." Aizawa said, heading towards the hospital where they were taking Haywood.

"Combo Move!" Anna and Elsa shouted in unison, taking each other's hands. "Torrential Downpour!" Freezing the entirety of the commission.

Present day

The fifth Jason looked around Jason Haywood's hospital room with yellow cat's eyes and an aura of menace. "Where am I?" He asked, his tone brooking no room for argument.

"Japan." Jason gulped, Raven and Dr. Sato, both frozen on terror.

"Where is Japan? It's not on Remnant, I've been all over Remnant, and I know that there isn't a place called Japan."

"It's not Remnant or wherever you are from."

"Then where is it?"

"Earth. You're on a place called earth."

"We have earth Dust on Remnant, is this place made entirely out of Dust?"

"Dust?"

"Who the fuck doesn't know what Dust is?"

"We know what dust is, but the Dust you're talking about is something we don't know about."

"Why did you summon me?"

"I have a new Quirk and I'm trying to understand what it is."

"What is a Quirk?"

"My Superpower."

"Is a Quirk like a Semblance?"

"What's a Semblance?"

"A power that's used to survive in Remnant's harsh world."

"I guess."

"What is this "Quirk" of yours?"

"Well, it WAS Hellfire Creation But now it's just called Summoning, and it allows me to summon any of five different versions of myself apparently."

"So, you have to rely on other people because you can't rely on yourself?"

"You're being a dick."

"I wonder why? I was chilling in my own world, living my best life, going home to my wife and kids, then some upstart kid pulled me out of my world because he's just trying to understand his newfound abilities!"

"You think this is a picnic for me?!" Jason snapped back. "It's not. I had powers, I was using them to save my stepsister, and the next thing I know, they are gone, I can't even get warm because my body temperature was at 200 degrees and now it's down to just over 100! Last week I had a strong Quirk that I was going to use to protect people, and now I might be kicked out of the Hero program because my superpower is summoning assholes like you! Eat a dick, asshole."

The other Jason looked at Jason Haywood. "Fuck." He spoke. "How many times have I been in your shoes?" He asked.

"What?" Jason Haywood asked.

"How old are you?"

"Almost sixteen."

Jason sighed. "I am well over one hundred years old, and I have forgotten how it feels to feel powerless because I've been happy and content for the last one hundred years. I remember what it's like to be you, but only through the lens of a memory from a century ago."

"How old are you?" Jason Haywood asked.

"I turn 121 next year."

"So, you're 120."

"Yes."

"Does Remnant allow you to live longer?"

"We have incredibly long lives, yes, but a lot of people die so young because of the Grimm, that's why the Age of Consent is Sixteen. They want people to keep reproducing so that we don't go extinct."

Jason gulped. he couldn't imagine being asked to reproduce when he turned sixteen. He couldn't imagine reproducing at all really. He didn't really hate the idea of sex, but he didn't really like the thought of sex... was that something bad. Was it bad that he didn't? He'd have to ask Raven or a doctor or someone about it.

"What?" Jason asked.

"What?" Jason Haywood asked.

"I can smell your uncertainty. My sense of smell is so heightened that I can smell emotions and even lies."

"Really?"

"Yes, you are uncertain and confused."

"I just can't imagine having to have kids at sixteen. I can't imagine having kids at all, but at sixteen?"

"Don't worry, you won't forget your first time. I remember the first time that Weiss and I had sex. It was just after a horrible fight. Our first time was amazing, almost... magical. We unintentionally traumatized her brother though, our bad."

"Poor brother."

"Yeah, we did apologize, but the damage was already done."

"I bet."

"Yeah."

"Excuse me." Raven said, coming out of her terror state, still scared, but her need and desire to protect Jason pulling her from it long enough to say something. "Who are you?"

Jason looked at her causing Raven to flinch back. "I am Jason Todd. I'm from a world called Remnant."

"Okay. You said that it was a harsh place. Is that why you are giving off a sense that makes me want to run away and hide? Like you'll kill me if I don't?"

"Yes. I am currently the strongest person on Remnant. We had two immortals there, and I killed them. It was a very difficult, but it was worth it. Our world is still dangerous, but now we at least stand a chance."

"And you said that the age of consent was sixteen?"

"Yes. My wife and I didn't lose our virginities until we were... nineteen or twenty."

"Don't you think that is a little too much information?"

"Not particularly. Why, do you?"

"Yes. My not even sixteen-year-old stepson is right there, and you are talking about sex."

"What is the age of consent in this Japan place?"

"Sixteen."

"And yet you feel that it is not appropriate to talk about sex when your stepson is almost of age. Have you even given him the talk yet?" Jason looked over at Jason Haywood. "I'll get you started. There are three holes."

"ENOUGH!" Raven snapped. "He's already been given the talk, but this place isn't Remnant. We have different cultures obviously. We don't parade sex through the streets. We view it as something more..."

"I'm going to stop you right there because I just killed... a lot of people involved in the human trafficking and sex trades. Do you have any idea how many people were being trafficked? How many children?"

"How did you stop that?" Jason Haywood asked, interested in his answer.

"My Semblance gives me complete control over the shadows. I simply used the shadows to terrify and slaughter them."

"I see."

Raven looked at Jason. "You did what?"

"I solved your human trafficking and sex trades problems. It wasn't that hard when I can be anywhere and everywhere simultaneously. I left warnings to everyone about what would happen if they started them up again."

"What did you do?"

"Do you really want to know? Cause I'll tell you if you do."

"What did you do to them?"

"Watch the news, you'll know soon enough. They'll be pulling bodies from places that bodies were never meant to go for decades. They'll be asking what kind of animal such things could do, but it wasn't an animal. It was me. Jason."

"That is terrifying." Jason Haywood said.

"I know." Jason said. "I'm also having some interesting conversations with some people, one is a... Stout? I think? We're having a very interesting conversation about the differences between our worlds."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'm also having a conversation with someone who is very powerful and immortal. He's trying to get me to join his side because I am scaring the shit out of him."

"You are?"

"Yeah. People only try to get on my good side when I outmatch and outclass them and considering that I just wiped out the entire human and sex trafficking, I outmatch and outclass this Immortal."

"Really? How?"

"Well, for one thing, I'm immortal. For another. I'm about to take him off Life Support."

"You're immortal?" Jason Haywood asked.

"You're going to kill someone!?" Raven demanded.

"Yeah." Jason Todd said, pulling a gun from his shadow and shot himself in the head, taking no damage and being completely fine. "See." He said before he flinched. "Oh shit." He spoke.

"What?" Jason Haywood said.

"Oh. My wife is pissed."

"Why?"

"Oh, she felt me shoot myself in the head. She's not happy, add that to the fact that she's pregnant with twins... yeah. I need to get back and make up for it."

"How did she feel that?" Raven asked.

"Our Soul Bond." Jason Todd explained.

"What's a Soul Bond?"

"I can't stay to explain, I'll tell you the next time you summon me."

"You're giving me permission to summon you?" Jason Haywood asked.

"Yes. So long as it isn't mine and Weiss's anniversary. If it is, then I might have to throw you into a tree or the sun if you interrupt me on my anniversary... either of them actually."

"What does that mean?"

"That's a story for another time. Summon me again sometime and I'll explain it."

"Okay."

Jason Todd walked into his shadow and disappeared.

Jason Haywood looked at the screen that was his Quirk.

Summon:

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Red Avatar: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood: Gotham Knight: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Crimson Hunter: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/J'son T'odd: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Crimson Crusader: Summon?

"The versions I can summon just changed." Jason said.

"It did?" Dr. Sato asked.

"Yes."

"What was that last summon?" Dr. Sato asked. "He was so... terrifying."

"Me from a universe where he has to be that terrifying... or at least, had to be."

"I see. What are the new summons you have?"

"They are all summons I've had access to previously."

"Okay. Do you need help with anything?"

"I don't understand why this happened."

"One option is that the stress of what happened caused your Quirk to change so that you would never have to be put in that situation again. You saw that your Quirk wasn't strong enough to protect those closest to you, and you evolved into someone who could protect those who are important to you?"

"Really?" Raven asked. "Is that possible?"

"Many animals go through painful evolutions to become the best version of themselves, their perfect selves. Look at nature. Animals evolve to have spikes or horns on their bodies or to secrete poison. It's an evolutionary trait to stay safe... also to attract mates."

"I have a question." Jason said.

"What is it?"

"When the other Jason was talking about sex... I don't know. I didn't feel anything. I wasn't really uncomfortable, I just... didn't feel anything. Should I have felt something? Anything?"

Raven and Dr. Sato looked at each other.

"That could just be everything that you've gone through." Dr. Sato said. "You've gone through a lot in the last year, so maybe it's that. It could be other things like chemical imbalances or maybe even your sexuality. I'll leave it to you and your mom to discuss if that's something you want to discuss further and call it a day. We can talk about your Quirk more tomorrow and then I'll set you up with a counselor to talk with weekly until further notice."

"Thank you, Dr. Sato." Jason said.

"Thank you." Raven said.

"You're welcome." Dr. Sato said, leaving the room.

Raven turned to look at Jason. "Is there something that you want to talk about?"

"I don't know. What should I be feeling?"

"You like that Tsu girl from school, right?"

"Like, like her, or do I want to have sex with her?"

"Let's start small, you are still in school after all. Do you like her?"

"I mean... Yeah, I guess. I got mad when those assholes hurt her. I liked spending time with her when we went to the mall after mom died. I like hanging out with her at school and stuff."

"Okay, good start."

"What does sex have to do with any of that?"

"It's complicated. Do you remember the talk we gave you when you started middle school?"

"Yes."

"Do you ever feel any of that towards anyone at school?"

Jason thought about that. "No. Not really. Why? Do people really think about that?"

"What did you think your mom and I were doing on Tuesday nights?"

"I don't know. Dancing, sleeping... wait... were you two having sex?"

"Yes." Raven said with a blush.

"Oh. Oh shit. Wait."

"Jason. What do you think about when you think about sex?"

"I don't know. Nothing really. I know what sex is on an academic level, but when I think about actually having sex... I can't. It's like it's the farthest thing from my mind."

"Okay. Maybe we'll talk to a doctor about it."

"About what?"

"Well, it might be normal, or there might be something wrong."

"Like what?"

"I don't want to make any assumptions, best to let a doctor tell us."

"Okay."

Jason's Quirk activated and the screen appeared.

Summon:

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Agent Jason Todd/Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D/Codename Red Hood: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Jason Todd LPC: Summon?

Jason Todd/Father Jason Todd: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Jason Todd Professor of Classical Literature Gotham University: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Crimson Crusader: Summon?

He summoned Agent Jason Todd.

A man who appeared to be in his late thirties/early forties appeared out of a portal. He was built, big, almost as big as All Might. He had short cut hair with a white streak in it. His eyes were steely blue and looked as though they saw everything. "Where am I?" He asked.

"Japan." Jason said.

"Oh. Nice place. I might get some Raman before I get picked up."

"I don't think you'll be getting picked up."

"Why?"

"I don't think that you are in the place that you think you are."

"Which time period, universe, dimension, timeline, reality, or realm am I in?"

"I'm not sure. This is Japan in the year 2174. Where or when are you from?"

"That's a funny question since I've time traveled, been sent to another universe, came back to the right time and place, and went back in time, collected the people who I went back in time with the first time, and brought them back to the right time."

"Really? How"

"My sister's mom is fucking insane. She did this thing where she gave some people powers and others she killed. She tried killing me, but I had the gene, and it gave me a power."

"What power did it give you?"

"The power to change."

"Change? Change what?"

"Everything. I got sent to an alternate dimension where my world was split into two different worlds. A world the Justice League and the Avengers lived in different worlds. Then, five years later I came back. Then I time traveled back and brought them back."

"I don't see how that is a power."

"It gives me the power to be where I need to be, when I need to be there."

"My Quirk is what brought you here."

"I didn't say that it didn't. Why did you bring me here?"

"I don't know. I haven't met you yet, so I was wondering who you are."

"What else. There is something else. You're worried about something."

"What?"

"I can read people. Your stepmom is worried, you're worried, and it has nothing to do with your... Quirk, was it?"

"How did you know that she's, my stepmom?"

"She looks nothing like you, and she still has the air of a woman who just adopted a stepchild, you, and she can't help but smile. It's in her eyes. She is worried, but her eyes aren't, they are... not happy, but close enough. Therefore, she's your stepmom. Have you called her mom yet?"

"Yeah?"

"That's what it is. Joy. Now, what's going on? why are you worried?"

"We were talking about something with another version of me, and he said something that made us worry."

"What did he say?"

"He was talking about how sex is great and that I won't forget my first time."

"Oh, and how did you react?"

"I didn't feel anything."

"Welcome to the club kid."

"What?" Raven and Jason asked in unison.

"Oh. Do you not know about Asexuality?"

"What?" Jason asked.

"Oh." Raven said. "Yes. I have. It's a sexuality that doesn't feel sexual attraction normally. They might never feel sexual attraction, or they might feel it conditionally."

"Yes, but trying to force it has... negative consequences."

"What kind of consequences."

"Bad ones."

"Any advice?"

"Don't try and force it. If you do find yourself attracted to someone, boy, girl, then it might not be a bad idea to try it, if you enjoy it then you enjoy it, if you don't then you don't, and if you enjoy it occasionally, then you enjoy it occasionally. I recommend finding out more about it rather than taking my advice because I know what I do and don't like, but you don't seem to know anything about the subject, so... learn about it."

"Okay. Thanks. I'll look into it."

"You're welcome. Also, I'm sorry about your other parent, I'm assuming your mom."

"What? How did you..."

"When I asked if you called your stepmom your mom your eyes dilated for a second before you schooled your emotions, so I knew that something happened to your mom. What happened?"

"A supervillain killed my mom."

"I'm sorry. At least you've got a great stepmom."

"Yeah, plus I have my friends and their parents, so, I'm pretty well off."

"Don't bottle all that up, okay. You can let yourself mourn. You can feel emotions; you can feel pain and sadness and suffering. If you bottle it up, then you'll only hurt yourself in the end. Get mad, get sad, rage, get pissed, cry, laugh. If you don't... you'll end up like me. You don't want to end up like me."

"What's your damage?" Jason Haywood asked Jason Todd.

"I don't think you have enough time for that, just know that it's a lot and you don't want that weight on your shoulders."

"Okay. Thanks."

"You're welcome, just do your best."

"Okay."

"Mind letting me go. I have a thing I need to get to."

"Okay." Jason Haywood said, deactivating his Quirk.

"Would you like to talk to someone who we can talk to about Asexuality?" Raven asked.

"I guess."

"I'll go find someone." Raven said as she left.

Jason waited, and wondered what his mom would say. So lost in thought that he didn't notice Raven return with a counselor until she rubbed his back.

"Hey?" Raven asked. "You okay?"

"Yeah. Just wondering what my mom would say."

"She would love you, and she would do everything to help you understand this about yourself."

"Okay."

"Hello young Haywood." The counselor said. "My name is Yuna Akaya. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in LGBTQIA+ clients, helping them understand themselves and their identity. Thankfully this isn't the twenty-first century when the LGBTQIA+ was targeted just for trying to exist. Your mom said that you had some questions, so, how may I help you?"

"I... this is... it's... I'm confused."

"Understandable. Why don't you start by telling me what's confusing you?"

"My Quirk; it allows me to summon different versions of myself. One of them started talking about sex and I felt nothing. They said that I wouldn't forget my first time, and I felt nothing. They talked about having kids and I couldn't imagine having kids at any point in my life. Then I summoned another version of myself, and they said that there's a chance that I'm Asexual."

"Okay. There's a checklist we can go through, and while it won't definitively say whether you are or aren't Asexual, it will give you a starting point."

"Okay."

"First. Do you enjoy thinking about having Sex?"

"I'm fifteen."

"That's a no."

"Do you like looking at people when they are naked?"

"What?" Jason asked, looking at Akaya-San, confused.

"Pornography?"

"No."

"Does your perfect relationship require sex?"

"I don't know. I just feel numb to the idea, again, I'm fifteen."

"Okay. If your partner were to ask you for sex, would you have sex with them, for them?"

"I don't have a partner."

"A boyfriend? Girlfriend? Friend?"

"I mean... I guess. If I had one. Sure. Maybe."

"Okay. Do you yourself need sex?"

"I'm fifteen."

"No masturbation or anything?"

"I mean... yeah, but not like a lot."

"Sex is only meant to have children?"

"Is there another purpose for sex?"

"Do you understand when people hot or sexy people in a passionate way?"

"I've put things together, so I know what people mean when they talk about "hot" or "sexy" people in passionate ways. I just don't understand why they want to do half the shit they talk about doing. That's why I would beat the shit out of Mineta whenever he would ogle or sexualize the girls at U.A. They are too young to be mothers."

"So that's a no."

"How? I said that I understand them."

"No, you understand the words they are saying, but you don't understand the intent behind the words."

"Okay."

"Is sex an unnecessary part of life?"

"I mean... without it, we would die, so, no. We need it to reproduce and continue living as a species. Even if there are some that I think are better left out of the gene pool."

"Okay. Do you even feel like you want to touch someone else's body for pleasure?"

"Pleasure? What does that mean?"

"To make them feel good or to feel good yourself."

"What?"

"That's a no. I kind of asked this a while ago, but do you masturbate?"

"Yes. When I get too pent up to think straight, other than that, no."

"Okay. Do you think about sex, even if you don't feel the need to experience it?"

"Sometimes, but only when it's brought up."

"Okay. If your partner, in this case hypothetical partner, told you that they never wanted to have sex again, would you still love them?"

"Have we already had children?"

"Does that matter?"

"No. I would still love them. Do people actually leave their partner if they don't want sex?"

"Sadly, yes."

"That's some fucking bullshit. Is sex really that important?"

"To a lot of people, yes. In the twenty-first century there was anywhere from one to five percent of people were Asexual. Today, it's anywhere from seven to fifteen percent."

"That much?"

"Yes."

"Why such a big jump?"

"Childhood trauma, sexual assault, rape, trauma, politics, genetics, people figuring out who they really were, people were coming to terms with who they were, people thinking that they were broken for so long until they found out that they weren't. It was a sad and dark time. So many horrible things happened. Thankfully that is in the past, and people are much more accepting now."

"What happened?"

"For the most part people believed that Asexual's were broken because they didn't like having sex. They didn't understand. They forced them to take medicine and "therapies", and in the worst, most awful days, corrective sex."

"What?" Jason and Raven asked.

"Yes. It was rape reworded as corrective sex. Horrible, awful, disgusting."

Jason's and Raven's eyes flashed dangerously.

"Let us move on." Akaya- San said. "Let's not linger on such dark things."

"Agreed." Jason and Raven said in unison.

"Are you sexually attracted to anyone?"

"I don't think so."

"Okay. Would you have sex with someone you love, even if you don't enjoy sex?"

"Maybe? I guess. If I loved them and they needed it, and I didn't. I suppose that I would."

"Okay. If you can imagine having sex, could you see yourself enjoying it?"

"I don't know. I don't think I can see myself having sex, and I never have had sex, so I don't know if I could enjoy it."

"Okay. If you were to have sex, do you think that you could have it if you knew the person, and knew them well?"

Jason thought about that. He imagined a scenario in which he knew someone, cared about them, loved them. He Imagined a life where he knew someone, married them, loved them. They had dated for a while before getting married. They knew each other better than anyone. They were meant for each other, and they knew it. They were romantic, platonic, and... sexual. "Yes."

"Would you ever ask your partner for sex?"

"In a very specific situation, maybe."

"Is not having sex a choice?"

"No. I feel no desire to have sex. For one. I'm fifteen, and for another, I can think of a dozen other things I'd rather do than have sex."

"What about that very specific situation?"

"Am I in that very specific situation?"

"I don't know, are you?"

"No. I'm sitting in the hospital, not in a fantasy."

"Okay. Sex is like food, we need it to survive, even if we don't like the taste."

"I mean... If I don't have sex, will we go extinct?"

"Let's say yes."

"Then yes."

"And if I say no?"

"Then no."

"Sex is an overrated concept."

"Absolutely."

Akaya-San laughed. "Okay. If you'll let me just go over your answers, we will get a baseline to start with."

"How?" Raven asked.

"Her Quirk." Jason said.

"You are correct young Haywood." Akaya-San said. "My Quirk is called Database. I have all the knowledge associated with my profession in a database that I can access at any time. I'm checking your answers across my database to get the results of your answers and then we can go from there."

"Where do we go from here?" Raven asked.

"Well, for some, just knowing that they aren't broken is enough. For others, it explains some things. Others, it makes things worse. Yet others go on with their lives."

"Okay."

"Young Haywood." Akaya-San said. "You are likely Asexual, and quite possibly, Greysexual."

"Greysexual?" Jason and Raven asked in unison.

"Yes, Greysexual people don't feel a strong sexual attraction to others. However, they do occasionally think about sex and engage in such activities. However, grey-sexual individuals don't find it essential to have sex in their life. It's a spectrum between being completely nonsexual and being somewhat sexual. Greysexuality is not a medical condition. Plus, it defers from celibacy or abstinence."

"Is that from your Quirk." Raven asked.

"Yes. I remember everything that I've studied since my Quirk came in."

"That's amazing." Jason said.

"Thank you."

"Thank you. Is there anything we should do now?"

"Just live your life. This doesn't detract from anything, if anything, it adds something."

"Like what?"

"Perspective, for one."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"What's the other ones?"

"You can love in a way that some won't ever think about. It might be an even more potent form of love."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Do you have any questions?"

"I think that I need time to process this."

"Of course, just call if you need anything."

"Will do."

Akaya-San left, and Raven looked at Jason. "Did Mineta... did he go after Marie?"

"Yeah. But she took care of him."

"Good."

"I kicked the shit out of him."

"I want to scold you for attacking another student but thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Are you hungry?"

"I want to think about what Akaya-San said."

"Okay." Raven said, leaving to get lunch and bring something back for Jason.

Jason thought about what Akaya-San had told him. Looking at his Quirk, he saw the screen.

Summon:

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Agent Jason Todd/Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D/Codename Red Hood: Unable to summon.

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Jason Todd LPC: Summon?

Jason Todd/Father Jason Todd: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Jason Todd Professor of Classical Literature Gotham University: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Crimson Crusader: Summon?

He summoned Jason Todd LPC.

"Hello?" An older man asked. He was somewhere in his forties if Jason had to guess. "May I help you?"

"I don't understand some things."

"Oh? What don't you understand?"

"Why am I the way that I am?"

"Why are any of us the way that we are?"

"That's not helping."

"Then give me something to work with."

"Like what?"

"Like why I'm here? I have a 2:30 appointment and I'm going to be late. The poor guy called me up and asked for an emergency appointment because his partner decided to cheat on him, again, and he doesn't know what to do. I mean, seriously. Third times the charm, but he keeps giving chance after chance to someone who doesn't love him back. They are just using him for whatever he can offer."

"What can he offer?"

"A stable place for them to rest while they go out and break his heart."

"Sounds bad."

"It is. Now, either start talking or send me back to my time or universe or wherever you took me from."

"Am I broken?"

"Ooh boy. Short answer. No. Long answer. Do you want to commit heinous war crimes to people who look at you wrong, genocide an entire group of people because you got kicked out of school, or conquer the entire known world?"

"No."

"Then no, you are not broken."

"What if I would have said yes?"

"I would have you sent to a psych ward where you would be drugged out of your skull until you stopped talking like that."

"I'm fifteen."

"Even more reason to do so now before you get old enough to put those plans in motion."

"Well, good thing that I'm not broken then."

"Yeah. So, why do you feel broken?"

"I don't know. So much has happened, and I feel like my life is spinning out of control."

"That is relatable. So, what happened?"

"My mom died, my dad's an asshole, but he's not even my dad, he was just married to my mom when I was born, I was kidnapped and tortured, my stepsister was kidnapped and tortured, I had a Quirk, I lost my Quirk, I got a new Quirk, and I'm Asexual."

"That's a lot to unpack. What's a Quirk, and why is being Asexual causing you distress?"

"A Quirk is a superpower, like having a metagene."

"Okay, so, what was the Quirk that you had?"

"It was called Hellfire Creation."

"Was?"

"It's not anymore. I went to rescue my stepsister, passed out, and when I woke up my Quirk was changed to this. To Summon."

"Okay. I'm not a specialist on Quirks, so I'll leave that to the specialists. Now, why does being Asexual bother you?"

"I literally found out about it today. No real warning, just, congratulations and welcome to the club. It feels... I don't know, overwhelming."

"I see." The other Jason looked at his watch. "I have another appointment to get to. I would like to set up another appointment for next week if you are okay with that."

"Sure." Jason Haywood said.

"Thank you." Jason Todd looked at his phone. "How does Friday next week at 3:00 sound?"

"I'm just getting out of school, so, okay."

"Okay. See you next week." The other Jason said before Jason Haywood let him go.

Raven walked in with food and set it on Jason's nightstand.

"How much of that did you hear?" Jason asked.

"Hear of what?"

"I'm not stupid. I know you were out there. How much did you hear?"

"Jason. You aren't broken, okay? You aren't."

"I just want to stop feeling this way."

"I know." Raven hugged Jason. "I know." She rubbed his back.

Jason hugged her back. This had to be retribution for everything that he'd done in his past life. All he people he'd thrown off rooftops, beaten, killed. Everything he'd stolen. This was his penance for everything he'd done. He wished that Johnny would just penance stare him and get it over with rather than whatever this long-drawn-out process was. He'd have to ask Johnny to do that the next time he saw him. Asking him was one thing, convincing him was another.

Raven handed him his food and he ate silently, then he took a nap. When he woke up, he was surrounded by his friends and classmates.

"Dude!" Kirishima shouted. "Is it true what happened?"

"Yes." Jason said. "It's true."

"That's so manly it hurts."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, dude."

Him and his classmates talked for a while until most of them had to leave, he grabbed Tsu's hand and asked her to stay for a moment.

"What is it, Jason? Kero, Ker."

"Tsu. I don't know why I'm doing this. It doesn't make any sense to me, but I need to know."

"What is it, Jason?"

Jason sighed and took in a breath. "Is there something between us, besides friendship?"

Tsu looked at him. "I thought there was."

Jason sighed. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize."

"Don't worry. You've gone through a lot, lost a lot. Plus, my mom says that boys are just slow when it comes to romance. Kero, Kero."

"Okay. There might be another reason, but I don't know if I'm ready to talk about it yet."

"Okay. We can talk about it when you're ready."

"Thanks. How was your internship?"

"It was fine. I went with Selki." Tsu said, telling Jason about her time with Selki.

"Are you okay?" Jason asked after she finished.

"Yes. I'm fine. I'm not hurt at all, Kero, Kero."

"That's good."

"Yeah. When will you be back at school?"

"When they let me go and clear me to return to school. Though, I might not be staying for long."

"Why not?"

"My new Quirk isn't very good at Hero work."

"Aizawa Sensei is a Hero, and he's basically Quirkless."

"I guess you're right. Thanks Tsu."

"You're welcome, Jason. I have to go. I can come visit you tomorrow if you want. Kero, Kero."

"I think that I'd like that."

"Okay. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, can you send Johnny in?"

"Yes, Kero, Kero." Tsu said.

Johnny walked in and knew that something was wrong. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"I need you to do something, and I don't want you to argue with me."

"What is it?"

"I want you to Penance Stare me."

Johnny looked at Jason. "You do realize what the Penance Stare does, right?"

"Yes, and I'm ready."

Johnny looked at Jason before changing into the Rider. "Your soul is stained with the blood of the innocent. Look into my eyes and feel their pain."

Jason looked at Johnny and felt... "Why didn't anything happen?"

"You, innocent." Zarathos said.

"Am I really though?"

"Yes. You have done things, but they aren't enough to stain your soul with the blood of the innocent. I don't think you've ever hurt an innocent."

"Then why do I feel this way?"

Johnny's flames glowed blue, and Johnny placed his hands on Jason's head and heart. "Be at peace." He spoke.

Jason felt warmth envelope him, and he drifted off to sleep.

Johnny left the room and looked at his classmates, friends, and family.

"What's wrong?" Raven asked.

"He asked me to use the Penance Stare on him." Johnny said.

"Did you?" Raven asked.

"Yes, but nothing happened because his soul isn't stained with the blood of the innocent. That's not how the Penance Stare works. I did heal him somewhat, but he needs a lot more help than I can give him. I can only heal his body and his spirit; I can't heal his mind and his heart."

"Thank you." Raven said, hugging Johnny, which started a group hug with his friends and family, and some of his classmates.

"You're welcome." Johnny said.

"I'm sorry." A nurse said. "But visiting hours are over."

"Thank you." Everyone said their goodbyes and left, Raven staying behind while Rogue went with Inko, Hisashi, Izuku, Eri, and Himiko.

Raven sat down in the chair and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Jason woke the next day to see his classmates in his room. The room was filled with the scent of flowers and there were gifts and cards everywhere. "What?" he asked, yawning and blinking the sleep out of his eyes.

"Hey dude." Kirishima said. "We thought that we would come over today and spend the day with you, as long as we can."

"Okay." Jason said.

They spent their time telling Jason about how their internships went.

Chapter 36: Hero Internships Part 4

Summary:

Class 1-A tell Jason about their Internships. Some stayed the same, some changed. Enjoy.

Chapter Text

Jason sat on his bed while the others told him about their internships.

Mina, Kirishima, Shoji, Koda, Jiro, Hagakure, Sato, Hanta, Momo, Tsu, and Ojiro each took turns talking about their internships.

Next was Kaminari and Tenya.

"We took down Stain!" Kaminari shouted. "It was fucking terrifying!"

"What happened?"

Tenya and Tensei walked into Tensei's Hero Agency and headed to Tensei's office.

"Tenya." Tensei said. "I have something to tell you, and it's not going to be easy to hear."

"What is it?" Tenya asked.

"I'm retiring from Hero work." Tensei said.

"WHAT!" Tenya shouted. "WHY!?"

"Because Tenya. Hero work is dangerous. I've had more than a few close scrapes, and I want to retire, maybe start a charity or something, maybe get married, start a family, raise the next generation of Heroes."

"But, why?"

"The biggest reason?"

"Yes?"

"The Commission. After Present Mic's broadcast and his studio got attacked. I want to show the world that Heroes aren't doing this all for the glamor, plus, there's Stain. More people are beginning to think like him. Maybe I can show them that Heroes aren't all about the spotlight. I can show them that Heroes care. I can do something Tenya; shouldn't I at least try?"

"Yes, yes you should."

"Thank you, Tenya. I want you to take on my name. Show people that Ingenium is still out there, protecting people. I'll show people the good Heroes do as a retired Hero, and you take my place as Ingenium. Please."

"Okay. I will."

"Thank you. I won't retire until you graduate and take my place, and by that time, I'll have trained you to be my equal."

"Thank you, Tensei. I won't let you down."

"Good. Now, let's go in patrol. We need to help stop the Hero Killer Stain before he moves onto another city."

"What is his MO?"

"He kills about four Heroes in every city then moves on. So far, he's killed one."

"Do you have any case files? I want to try something."

"What?"

"My classmate, Jason Haywood, has taught me a few things that I want to try."

"Like what?"

"He told me that each villain has a reason for doing what they are doing. I want to see if I can get inside his head."

"Great idea." Tensei said, leading Tenya into a room and they began looking over the case files.

Volt looked at Kaminari. "Okay kid. I have an idea for you to try, and if it works, you can thank me later."

"Okay! What is it?"

"Wrap your body in electricity."

Kaminari did so and Volt began throwing things at him.

"What are you doing!"

"I'm trying to see if we can make some kind of shield for you. Like a forcefield, but better."

"How?"

"Try reversing your polarity if you can." Volt said throwing a stapler at Kaminari.

Kaminari tried deflecting it, and it worked. "DUDE! I DID IT!"

"Hell yeah ya did! Let's keep practicing."

They kept practicing until Kaminari could deflect at will, and they turned it into a game.

That was day one. Day two was a bit more taxing. Volt had Kaminari try and use his electricity to make an electromagnet, to pull things towards him. That was a lot harder.

"I don't know if I can do it." Kaminari said, wiping sweat from his brow.

"Maybe you can, maybe you can't, but the important thing is that you try."

"Can you?"

Volt showed him his own electromagnet before looking at him. "Let's take a break. Go get lunch, and then we will try something else."

"What?"

"We're going to turn you into a taser."

"Really?"

"Yup. Let's go."

Kaminari and Volt headed out to get lunch.

Tenya looked back over the files and the only thing that he found was that everyone Stain had attacked and killed was a spotlight Hero. He had to think about this like Jason. He thought back to the training from the beginning of the year and remembered Jason asking him why he was the villain "A Villain is just like you or me. They don't think what they are doing is wrong... Well, most don't. You need to ask yourself why the Villain is doing this. Are they desperate? Do they need money for a loved one's operation? Are they crazy and want to watch the world burn? Are they being Blackmailed?"

"What was that?" Tensei asked.

"Oh, I just remembered something that my classmate said. He said that Villains have reasons for being Villains. We just need to figure out why Stain is a Villain."

"Yeah, but what is his motivations?"

"He's only attacking Spotlight Heroes. So, he might be going after famous heroes? Maybe Heroes only in it for the money? Maybe we should look for any Heroes who were making big splashes in the media in the past, but are kind of out of the public eye, or maybe even ones that are in the public eye now? Maybe Heroes who just graduated or Heroes who are flaunting their wealth?"

"Where did this come from?"

"He's only attacking Spotlight Heroes. Maybe he thinks that a Hero's purpose shouldn't be in the spotlight. Can we check to see if there were any survivors or maybe even someone who he might have mistaken?"

Tensei looked through the database on the Stain case. "There are survivors, and they all said the same thing. He's taking out the "False Heroes"."

"That's it!" Tenya shouted. "That's his motive!"

"If that's true. We need to get this to the HPSC."

"How?"

Tensei reached for his phone and called the commission. "That's weird." Tensei said.

"What?"

"The commission. They aren't picking up."

"Is that not normal?"

"No. I'd usually be put on hold for a bit. I'm going to run over there, want to come with?"

"Can I?"

"Yeah. It'll be part of your training."

"Okay, let's go."

The changed into their Hero Costumes and ran for the Commission. Upon arriving there they saw a sight that caused them to freeze in place. The commission was completely frozen. It was thawing, but it was slow going, even with Heroes with heat, fire, water, and ice-based Quirks.

"What happened?" Tensei asked.

"Neptune's Sidekicks happened!" A Hero called to him. "They just flash froze the Commission! Neptune took complete responsibility and said that the Commission was under investigation until further notice! He might lose his License and be banned from Hero Work!"

"What?" Tensei asked.

"Yeah!"

"Why?"

"Can you really blame them!? After what they did to Present Mic and those kids?! Shoulda froze the whole lot of those bastards inside the Commission building!"

"Were there any casualties?"

"A lot! They were all taken to the hospital!"

"Any Commission personnel?"

"Who knows, from the rumors going around that a group attacked and killed everyone. You'd have to ask the survivors."

"Okay. We are hunting Stain and have important intel for the Commission or anyone in general."

"You could always spread the word through word of mouth?"

"Okay. Tell all Heroes that Stain is targeting Spotlight Heroes that he feels are "False Heroes"."

"False Heroes!? What does that mean?!"

"No idea, just pass it along. Stay in groups of two or more when on patrol."

"Okay! We'll tell them!"

"Okay. See you." Tensei said before he and Tenya ran off.

"Where are we going now?" Tenya asked.

"We are heading back to the agency, want to stop and get food on the way back?"

"Yes."

"Great. Let's go."

They ran to a restaurant and sat down for lunch.

"Hey Ingenium." A voice said. "You here for lunch too?"

The brothers looked up and saw Volt and Chargebolt.

"Yeah." Tensei said. "We just ran to the commission to tell them that we think we figured out Stain's motive."

"No shit." Volt said. "Care to share?"

"We think that he's going after Spotlight Heroes that he classifies as "False Heroes"."

"Oh. That makes sense."

"Yeah. Now we are headed back to the agency but decided to get lunch first. If you go out on patrol, make sure that you are in a group. We don't know where Stain is."

"Want to team up?" Volt asked. "We could Team up and if we run into Stain, we could stop him."

"Stain needs to be stopped." Tensei said. "If our interns agree, then yes."

"Yes." Tenya and Denki said in unison. "Stain has to be stopped."

"Then we will eat and head back to my agency and plan our patrol." Tensei said.

"Sounds like a plan." Volt said.

The group ate lunch and headed back to Tensei's Agency to plan on how to stop Stain. They made plans and contingencies, trained, and practiced. Then they would take a break and head out on patrol.

On Friday they were on patrol, walking down an alley, when they were attacked.

"Are you really going to retire?" Volt asked.

"Yeah. I was thinking about retiring before the incident at U.A.'s Sports Festival, but then when the evidence about the Commission came out, I knew that I needed to retire. Maybe if I do, then I'll be able to help sway public opinion in a way that shows them that what the Commission did was wrong, but Heroes are still a force for good."

"Well, if anyone can do it, it's you." Volt said.

There was a schnikt and Tensei fell to the ground.

"Ingenium!" Volt shouted.

"He's not dead." A cold, steely voice said. "He will be a warning as to what happens to False Heroes."

"Stain!" Volt shouted, looking around.

Chargebolt and Ingenium the junior spun around, trying to see Stain. Chargebolt shoved Ingenium the Junior out of the way and pumped his electricity once to deflect Stain's sword and send a jolt of electricity into Stain's arms, making them go numb, but getting cut in the process.

"Fuck!" Chargebolt shouted.

Stain charged Chargebolt who fell to the ground.

"CHARGEBOLT!" Volt shouted.

Ingenium the Junior and Volt looked at each other before Stain kicked his Katana towards Volt who deflected it with a pulse of electricity and stabbed it into the wall up the hilt.

Stain glared at Volt and charged him, ducking under a bolt of electricity and bit his wrist before spinning, drawing blood and Volt went down.

Tenya looked at his three fellow Heroes and was frozen for a moment.

"TENYA!" Tensei shouted, causing Tenya to come back to his senses in time to see Stain coming for him.

Dodging out of the way, Tenya spun, kicked, and sent Stain headfirst into a wall that definitely should have given him a concussion, but Stain walked it off... until Chargebolt's hand shot out, grabbing Stain's leg and shocked him, knocking him out.

Tenya ran over to Stain and put Quirk Restraining cuffs on Stain's wrists and ankles before he fell to the floor. "Kami above, I'm glad that's over." He spoke.

After everyone got control of their bodies back, Tensei and Volt grabbed Stain and took him out of the Alley and towards a police station.

"And that's what happened." Denki said.

"Congrats dude." Jason fist bumped him and Tenya.

"Yeah. It was terrifying, but totally worth it."

"Understandable."

"Here's the paper with us getting credit." Denki handed Jason a newspaper.

"Congratulations dudes." He spoke.

"Thanks." Denki said. "Who's next."

"Your praise means a lot." Tenya said with a bow.

"Touya's healed." Shouto said.

"What happened to Touya?" Jason asked.

Touya, Shouto, and Tokoyami were sitting in Hawks room when a tall lanky American came in and started talking to them. "Oh, Hawks, what did they do to you?" He asked.

"Who are you?" Touya asked, causing his flames to activate. "Are you with the Commission?"

"No. More accurately, not anymore."

"What do you mean not anymore?"

"The commission killed my daughter. I want nothing to do with them. I'm just glad I got out when I did because otherwise..."

"What happened?"

"The Commission got assaulted, frozen in ice. No one is left... except me, but I don't work for the commission anymore." The man looked over Hawks. "Oh boy."

"What is it?"

"Hawks is going to be fine, but I'd say he's not going to be able to do any Hero work for a while."

"Why?"

"His body needs time to heal. He should have been molting, evolving, but unfortunately, the commission didn't want to spend any more time on making him a Hero than they had to that they froze him in place as he was and it led to this, as soon as he stopped taking the meds that froze his body in place, his body started evolving like it should have. He should be an Apex Predator; they left him at little better than your average hawk."

"So, he'll be stronger?" Tokoyami asked.

"He'll be stronger than strong." The man said. "Speaking of... Touya, may I do something?"

"What do you want to do?" Touya asked suspiciously.

"I just want to shake your hand."

Touya shook the American's hand and felt something weird happen. "What did you do to me!" He demanded.

"I gave you the fireproof gene you were missing, you should be able to burn your fire as hot as you want now and not even sweat."

"Really?"

"Yes. Go ahead, try it out."

Touya activated his fire and burned it hot enough to set the alarms off, signifying that the water sprinklers were about to go off and Touya let his fire go and saw that he wasn't even singed. "This is... amazing." Touya said. "I can use my fire without needing to time it, so I don't burn myself."

"You're welcome." The American said. "My Quirk allows me to alter Genetics."

"That's amazing."

"I'm going back to medical school so I can become a doctor. A licensed doctor."

"Good luck." Touya said.

The American left and Touya turned to Shouto and Tokoyami.

"That was a mad banquet of darkness." Tokoyami said.

"And that's what happened." Shouto told the group.

"That's amazing." Jason said. "So, Touya can use his Quirk without consequence now?"

"I mean, he can still get dehydrated." Shouto deadpanned.

The group chuckled, their chuckles becoming laughs.

"What?" Shouto asked.

The class laughed even harder.

"Oh yeah!" Kirishima shouted. "Bakugo's new hands came in! They look just like his actual hands and work with his Quirk.

Bakugo looked at the silver hands on his wrists before pulling his shirt on. Buttoning up his shirt, he did his tie and pulled his jacket on and grabbed his bag before heading downstairs. "I'm heading out!" He snapped.

Mitsuki pulled him into a hug.

"What are you doing hag!" He snapped.

"I'm giving you a hug before school Katsuki." She explained.

Bakugo felt his throat burn and tighten. "You don't have to do that." He spoke, hoping his voice didn't sound as bad as he thought it did.

"Katsuki..." Mitsuki said, feeling tears burn the corners of her eyes. "Damn it." She swore. "I was hoping that I could do this without crying."

"What?" Bakugo asked.

"Katsuki, I haven't always said it, but I love you."

"WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS COMING FROM, HAG!" Bakugo shouted.

"I almost lost you!" Mitsuki broke down and started crying. "When you lured that Villain away, I thought I was going to lose you, then you..." She looked at his hands and started sobbing. "Kami, you... you... Kami above. I'm sorry Katsuki! I'm so sorry!" She hugged him. "I'm so sorry!"

"What are you talking about, hag!" Bakugo said, trying to break away.

"I told myself that being harsh was my way to counter your teachers making you so prideful and arrogant, but it only made things worse, and before long, it was too late, and you weren't my baby boy anymore."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HAG! STOP EMBARASSING ME!"

"When the Slime Villain caught you, I was terrified but thought that if I was hard on you rather than care or coddle you, but I was terrified."

Bakugo looked at his mom in shock. "What."

"I'm sorry Katsuki." Mitsuki said. "I'm so sorry."

Bakugo was shocked, stunned, frozen. What did he do?

"I have to go." He said, heading out of the house.

Walking to school, he headed for Gen Ed when he was stopped by Mei. "Bakugo!" She shouted.

"What do you want Hatsume?" He asked, being respectful since she was the one who gave him the prosthetics that allowed him to remain a Hero Student.

"I talked to the company that made your costume and asked them to make this." She handed him a box. Opening it up, he saw a pair of prosthetic hands complete with synthetic flesh. Picking one up, he looked at it.

"We can go to the Support Class, and I can help you put them on?"

"Yes."

"Great, let's go." Mei led the way to Support and had Bakugo sit down at a desk and placed the box to the side. "Okay..." She said, taking out a cuff and one of the hands. "First we need to take this off." She said, taking the silver prosthetic off and washed his stump with a rag from her belt and some water from a water bottle before fanning it dry and slid the cuff on. "Why don't you move it around until it feels comfortable?"

Bakugo gripped the cuff and moved it until he found a position that felt comfortable. "There."

"Okay, this might be uncomfortable and might feel like pins and needles." Mei said before connecting the new prosthetic to his wrist.

"What are you talking about?" Bakugo said, before his hand and fingers began tingling with a pins and needles sensation. "What the fuck!" He shouted, grabbing his wrist and squeezing it. "What the fuck! What the fuck! What the fuck!"

"Bakugo!" Mei shouted. "Are you okay?"

"I can feel my fingers!" Bakugo shouted. "I can feel my fucking fingers!"

Mei smiled. "Yes. I didn't want to get your hopes up, but it allows you to feel your missing limbs and appendages."

Bakugo looked down at his hand with tears in his eyes. He could feel his fingers. He could feel his hands.

Mei put his other prosthetic on and after a moment, took him out to the bay and opened the door to show him a target. "Why not work up a sweat and see if you can use your Quirk." She suggested.

Bakugo jogged in place before pointing his hand at the target and activated his Quirk.

The Explosion was much weaker than he was used to, but he dropped to his knees. "My Quirk." He said with tears in his eyes. "My Quirk's back."

Mei smiled. She was glad. He had his Quirk back. He'd lost his Quirk and now it was back. She discreetly wiped a tear away.

Bakugo raised his head in the air and shouted as he sobbed.

"And that's what happened." Kirishima said.

"That's great." Jason said. "I'm glad that he's got his Quirk back."

"He's a lot more chill now." Kirishima said. "And he got moved to Class B. Monoma got expelled."

"Finally." Jason said. "That guy was a pain in the ass."

"Yeah, he was."

"Who's next?" Jason asked.

"Me." Ochako said, raising her hand and bouncing on her feet.

Ochako and Mirko left the hospital after making sure that Rogue was taken care of.

"So." Mirko said. "What's your motivation for being a Hero?"

"Um... I want to get money so I can help my parents." Ochako said meekly.

"That's an admirable goal. Most Heroes are in it for the money, the fame, or the glory. Its people like you and Jason who make true Heroes. because you are doing this for your parents and Jason is doing this for the people he cares about, but he has a long way to go before he can be classified as a true Hero."

"Huh? Why?"

"Jason rescued Rogue, right?"

"Yeah."

"But he also got hurt in the process. What good are you if you hurt yourself while rescuing people?"

"Oh. I guess I see."

"So, if Jason wants to be a Hero, then he needs to learn how to rescue people without getting hurt or with minimal injuries."

"Okay."

Mirko walked Ochako back to her Agency and they walked in to see a bare room with mats on the floor.

"So." Mirko said. "I saw what you did in the sports Festival, walk me through what you did to Tokoyami."

"Well, during the Hero Team exercise at School, Deku ended up throwing Bakugo, so, I thought that I could throw Tokoyami the same way."

"How did... Deku... throw Bakugo?"

"Um, he grabbed his arm and threw him." Ochako said.

"Was Bakugo grounded or in the air when Deku threw him?"

"Oh, he was flying at him."

"And was Tokoyami flying at you or grounded when you tried to throw him?"

"Grounded." Ochako blushed.

"So, let's work on the basics."

"Okay." Ochako said, instantly regretting it when Mirko smiled a predatory smile that did not belong on someone with a Rabbit Quirk.

"Now, let's begin." Mirko said, showing Ochako proper techniques, stances, and katas until she couldn't stand.

"Good job." Mirko said. "Let's get you upstairs to the bathroom." She led Ochako upstairs to the bathroom and dropped her into the bathtub that was full of Ice water.

(We won't talk about the indignant scream that Ochako made for the sake of her dignity.)

The next day Ochako crawled out of bed, with Mirko's help.

Mirko came into Ochako's room with a bowl of marbles she'd stuck in the freezer and poured them into Ochako's bed.

Ochako's scream woke the neighborhood.

"Why did you do that?" Ochako asked with a pout.

"Are you awake?" Mirko asked.

"Yes, I'm awake."

"Good, now, let's start, we have a long way to go in a short amount of time."

"Where are we going?"

"On a run before breakfast, then we will have breakfast, and I'm going to work you until you drop. We will stop for lunch, but I'm probably going to make you cry before the day is done."

Ochako wasn't looking forward to that part but smacked her cheeks. "Let's go." She said walking outside into near pitch black. "Um. What time is it?"

"3:30. Why?".

Ochako groaned. "I could have slept in."

"No, you couldn't. You got eight hours of sleep, which is optimal for most people, and you need to train. Come on." She clapped her hands together, let's go. We'll start with stretches."

They did their stretches and Ochako and Mirko began running with Mirko running behind Ochako to keep her at a Pace that Mirko thought was acceptable... which was intense for Ochako, but she was able to survive.

Mirko handed Ochako a carrot and started eating.

Ochako took a bite, and Mirko broke into a fit of laughter. "I didn't think you'd actually eat it." She laughed.

"I didn't want to be disrespectful." Ochako blushed.

"You're too cute." Mirko said. "Let's go get breakfast."

After a high protein breakfast, Mirko and Ochako started with stretches, katas, stances, and techniques.

Stopping for lunch, Ochako fell to the ground, panting and sweating profusely.

Mirko handed her a towel. "Dry yourself off." She spoke.

Ochako grabbed towel with a shaky hand and began wiping the sweat from her exposed body before dropping the towel in the floor. "Are we done yet?" She asked.

"For an hour." Mirko said.

Mirko brought out Rice balls and miso soup. "Eat up." She spoke.

Ochako grabbed a rice ball and started eating it.

After eating, Ochako took a nap.

Mirko smiled when her alarm went off and Ochako didn't wake up from her nap.

Grabbing a bottle of ice-cold water, she dumped it on Ochako, waking her up.

"What the hell!" Ochako shouted.

"Glad that you're awake." Mirko smirked. "We have more training to do."

Ochako groaned and pulled herself up and stood up, holding her knees, panting. "I hate you." She spoke.

"I know, but you'll thank me later."

Mirko began taking Ochako through all the techniques, katas and stances, putting them all together to create a fighting style that worked for her.

That night before dinner Ochako grabbed Mirko and flipped her, activating her Quirk to make her weightless before kicking her into a wall.

Mirko clapped, cackled, and threw her fists in the air, which was aimed at the floor causing Mirko to punch the floor and send herself into the ceiling. "YES!" She cheered. "Take a break."

"Thank God." Ochako said, collapsing to the floor and laying on the floor.

"Think you can let me go?" Mirko asked.

It was a struggle since Ochako's arms felt like lead weights, and it took her nearly two minutes to let Mirko go, but she eventually, she was able to drop Mirko. "I can't feel my arms." She spoke.

"Let's get you upstairs."

"Ugh. The Ice Bath?"

"The Ice Bath."

"Ugh."

"Let's go." Mirko said. "Up, up, up."

Ochako half crawled, half carried herself up the stairs and spilled into the Ice Bath.

After the Ice Bath, Ochako walked downstairs and saw food causing her to drool and she devoured. everything in sight before passing out.

The next morning, she woke up as soon as she heard Mirko shake the bowlful of Marbles. "Not today!" She shouted, getting up to her feet.

"I'm impressed." Mirko smiled. Usually, it takes most of my interns a full week before they wake up at the sound of the marbles."

"Guess it's a good thing I'm not most interns." Ochako smiled.

"Guess so. Let's go. Get dressed, and we will start stretching."

Ochako got dressed in her workout clothes that had been washed and dried the night before, before starting her stretches.

Mirko and she ran, came back, ate breakfast and practiced her fighting style until lunch then again until dinner when she took an Ice Bath, ate dinner, and went to bed only to do it for the next two days and on Friday Mirko looked at her.

"Hey Uravity. Do you want to spar with Gunhead's interns, or do you want to spar with me today and we can get food later and celebrate your final day?"

"I want to see how I compare to Gunhead's interns!" Ochako shouted.

"Let's go." Mirko smiled a sadistic smile.

Mirko and Ochako walked into Gunhead's Agency and looked around.

"Hey Gunhead!" Mirko shouted. "I want to pit my Intern against your Interns."

"No." Gunhead said. "I won't be held responsible for hurting a Quirkless student."

Mirko held Ochako back. "Why? Scared my "Quirkless" Intern will make your Interns look like beginners?"

Gunhead looked at Mirko. "I know what you're trying to do." He spoke.

"Doubtful, but if you're scared, we'll leave."

"Fine." Gunhead said, taking the bait. "Shinji, you're up."

"Is this your best Intern?" Mirko asked.

"One of them."

"No. I want your best Intern."

"No."

"Your best Intern or we leave."

Gunhead ground his teeth. "Fine. Chinibu, you're up."

A male intern with arms bigger than Ochako's head walked onto the mats.

Ochako and Chinibu looked at each other, bowed, looked at Gunhead, bowed, looked at each other, and waited for the signal to start.

Gunhead started the match and Chinibu ran at Ochako, swinging with one massive arm.

Ochako ducked, touched Chinibu's arm with all five fingers and let his momentum carry him out of bounds.

Gunhead looked at Ochako in shock and awe.

Mirko smirked a wicked grin. "How's that for "Quirkless?". She asked, using finger quotes with the word, Quirkless.

"Shinji." Gunhead said. "You're up."

Shinji and Ochako squared up, bowed, bowed to Gunhead, bowed back to each other, and squared up again before Gunhead said: "Start."

Shinji and Ochako circled each other, feeling for an opening when Shinji used his Quirk to create a Smokescreen to get in close to Ochako only to not see her. Ochako slapped both her hands on his back, letting all ten fingers touch him and shot him towards the ceiling before canceling her Quirk and letting him fall, hitting the mats and all the air was ripped out of his lungs from the fall.

When the smokescreen cleared, Shinji was on the floor and Ochako was standing to the side.

Mirko cackled this time. "Should we run a gauntlet to see how many of your students she can beat before one of them take her down?" She smiled a vicious rabbit smile.

"No." Gunhead said.

"Then apologize to Ochako."

Gunhead looked from his students to Ochako to Mirko back to Ochako back to his students back to Ochako before he bowed his head. "I am sorry for refusing to train you." He spoke. "However. I think that you may have gotten a better instructor than I ever could have been."

Ochako looked at Mirko who smiled and nodded. Bowing, she said: "Thank you, Gunhead." She bowed back and walked over to Mirko.

"Let's go get Yakiniku." Mirko said.

"Absolutely!" Ochako cheered as Mirko led Ochako to a Yakiniku place called "All you can Grill!", and they gorged themselves on grilled food.

"And that's how my internship went." Ochako said.

"Wow." Jason said. "That's awesome."

"I know right."

"It's crazy how you were able to get so good in only a week."

"Well, I'm not that good, I just did what Mirko told me to do, I have to keep practicing."

"Your fighting style seems to be a mix of Aikido and Judo."

"That's right."

"It works really well with your Quirk."

"Yeah, it does."

"That's cool."

"Yeah, it is."

"You should join us when we train."

"Thanks!" Ochako cheered.

"Ooh! Ooh! Me next! Me next!" Toga cheered."

"Okay." Jason chuckled. "How was your internship?"

"I learned how to use my Quirk more effectively."

"Okay. How?"

"Vlad taught me."

"Do you want to go into detail?"

"Not really. I'm bored now, who's next?"

Jason laughed and looked at his classmates. "What did you and Miss Joke do during your internship?" Jason asked Shinso.

"We practiced with my Quirk." Shinso said.

"How?"

"She gave me ideas, and I tried them."

"What kind of ideas?"

"Ideas, just ideas."

"Knock, knock jokes?" Jason asked.

Shinso's eyes widened for a split second, but enough time to let Jason know that he was right.

"Okay." Jason smiled.

"Who's next?" Shinso changed the subject with the tact of a bull in a China shop.

"I guess I am." Johnny said.

"What happened?" Jason asked.

After Jason was taken to the hospital, Gang Orca walked over to Johnny. "Young Blaze. I know that you are worried about your friend, but we have work to do before the week is through."

"Let's go." Johnny said.

"Please activate your Quirk. I want you to be in your Quirk as much as possible this week to show the people who you are, and who will be rescuing them."

Johnny looked at Gang Orca before activating his Quirk, becoming Zarathos. "You... innocent." He pointed at Gang Orca.

"Thank you?" Gang Orca asked. "Let us go."

Gang Orca and Zarathos headed back to Gang Orca's agency, and on their way, Johnny was stopped in his tracks and looked down an alley before walking into the alley

"Zarathos?" Gang Orca asked, following Zarathos into the alley.

In the back of the alley, a figure stood over a corpse. The figure turned around to show a child.

The child turned around to see Zarathos and exhaustedly the child made a fist, ready to fight.

"You... innocent." He pointed at the child.

Gang Orca came around the corner and saw the child. "Oh my?" He spoke. "What happened here?"

"This man tried kidnapping her." Johnny said. "She killed him in self-defense."

"I see." Gang Orca said. "Come little one, let's get you to the hospital."

"NO HOSPITALS!" The girl shouted. "I WON'T GO BACK!"

Johnny looked at the girl and saw why she didn't want to go back to the hospital. "Don't worry, no hospital."

The girl began shaking with relief.

"What is wrong young Zarathos?" Gang Orca asked.

"Her parents have been using her for spare parts for her sister. She asked this man to take her away, but he tried kidnapping her. She was desperate and needed an out."

"Who are her parents?"

"No clue, but I'm sure that we can find out."

Gang Orca dropped down to one knee. "What is your name little one?"

"Abi." She spoke. "My name is Abi."

"Abi. Will you let us take you to the police? We will keep you safe."

Abi nodded. "Okay."

"Let us go." Gang Orca said as he led Johnny and Abi out of the alley and to the police station while Gang Orca's sidekicks took care of the body in the alleyway.

The police took down Abi's information and called her guardians.

Johnny waited with Abi while Gang Orca talked to the police.

"Does it hurt?" Abi asked. "The fire."

"No." Johnny said. "It used to, but not anymore."

"Does it hurt other people?"

Johnny held out his hand and Abi put her hand in the fire, not feeling anything. "It doesn't burn."

"My fire only burns the wicked, and you are not wicked."

"Oh. Okay."

Abi looked at him.

"You want to know why your parent's treat you like you spare parts."

"Yes."

"I will know when your parents get here."

"How?"

"I just will. It's part of my Quirk."

"Okay."

"You aren't spare parts. You know that, right? You are a person, deserving of love and care."

Abi straightened ever so slightly.

"I don't know your parent's, but maybe they love you, they just aren't sure how to show it?"

Abi pushed away from Johnny.

"I am not defending your parent's. Using you for spare parts is a shit thing to do to a child. You should be able to do thing that children do, not being used for spare parts."

Abi seemed to relax.

Two people ran into the office and Abi tried making herself as small as possible and hid.

Johnny stood in front of her, looking at the parents as they ran to the information desk.

"Thanks." Abi said.

"You're welcome." Johnny said over his shoulder, looking at her parents. They weren't BAD people, more misguided. They needed to be educated on the fact that Abi was a child and not spare parts.

Gang Orca and Abi's parents came over with a social worker and a police officer.

"Abi!" Her mother said, trying to get around Johnny, but Johnny put his hand out to stop her. "What are you doing?" She gulped when she looked into his flaming eyes.

"Abi is not spare parts." He said coldly. "She is a child. Stop using her like she is."

"My daughter will DIE without Abi!"

"And you will lose both of your daughters if you keep going!" Johnny snapped.

"Young Zarathos." Gang Orca warned.

Abi's parents looked at Johnny.

"You either change, or you will lose Abi and then your other daughter WILL die. Maybe Abi will lose all hope and take her own life so that she has some semblance of choice. Maybe she runs away, and you never see her again. Maybe she becomes a Villain."

"She can heal everything that we take." Her mom said, confused as to why Johnny was being so protective.

Johnny looked at them, Zarathos cried out to sear their souls. He wanted to Penance Stare them, and Johnny was willing to let him.

"What do you mean by that?" Gang Orca asked Abi's parents.

"Her Quirk..." Abi's mom said. "...she heals herself. Whatever we take, she can heal."

"And what all has she healed?" Gang Orca asked dangerously.

"Cord blood, bone marrow, and our other daughter needs a kidney, otherwise she could die."

Johnny grabbed Gang Orca and moved him out of the way before placing his hand on Abi's parent's shoulders, and glared at them. "I want to Penance Stare the hell out of you, but I won't, but what I will do, is let my fire show you the error of your ways. Only the truly wicked will be burned by my fire, and you are not the most righteous people I've met."

Abi's Parent's felt pain from the fire. They felt heat. They were burning. They felt all the pain that Abi had ever experienced, even the emotional pain of being treated like a spare instead of a daughter.

Then, the fire changed color, from red, orange, yellow, and white, to blue and white, and Johnny spoke again; "Look at your daughter through new eyes. She is your daughter, not spare parts." He said before stepping to the side to let them see Abi, but staying by her side in case he needed to jump in and stop them.

Her parents looked at her, and they broke down in tears. "Abi." Her mom said, her voice cracking. "Abi, we're sorry."

Abi pulled away from her parents and her parents broke down in tears, knowing that they deserved this, but wanting to fix it.

"Abi." The social worker said. "Would you like to come with me while we sort this out?"

Abi walked around Johnny, keeping him between her and her parents and taking the Social workers hand as they left the police station.

"You may have lost your daughter for good." Johnny said. "The ball is in her court now, don't fuck this up, or you'll lose her for good."

With that, Johnny left with Gang Orca nodding at the officers and leaving them to deal with Abi's parents.

"Young Zarathos." Gang Orca said. "I can understand your anger, but please, do not push me out of the way like that again. For one, I am an Orca, I weigh as much as an Orca, so being moved so easily by someone who doesn't weigh a tenth of my weight was disconcerting to say the least."

"Oh. Sorry. I just moved."

"The makings of a Hero for sure, but remember that if you were able to move me, then you would be able to throw a much lighter person. Watch your strength from now on."

"I will."

"Good, now, let's get back to my Agency."

And we went back to Gang Orca's Agency, and the rest of the week was more or less normal." Johnny told his friends and classmates.

"Sounds legit." Jason said. "You're a badass. If you can move Gang Orca, what's your max weight?"

"The most I've ever lifted was twenty-five tons."

"Damn." Jason said while Izuku pulled out Johnny's notebook and wrote that down.

"Who's next?" Jason asked.

"Me." Izuku said before he began speaking.

Izuku and All Might stood in front of an unsuspecting Apartment building and All Might knocked on the door... no answer.

All Might knocked again... again, no answer.

All Might opened the door, and they saw a man bleeding out with his intestines hanging out of his stomach.

Izuku walked in and picked up the intestines off the floor, put them in the fridge and cleaned up the blood before rolling him over. "You shouldn't waste food." Izuku chastised the man. "There are people who will go to sleep without food tonight."

The man looked up at Izuku. "How did you know?"

"You haven't ever been to Halloween at Jason's house. We've watched horror movies that would make our mom's ground us for life if they knew what we've watched. I know what intestines look like, and it's not sausages."

"Young Dekiru..." All Might said. "...Do I need to talk to your mother?"

"Eep!" Izuku squeaked. "Um... no."

"I won't this time, because of the context." He looked at the man. "Gran... this is my student Dekiru."

"And why has it taken you so long to introduce us, Toshinori?" The man named Gran asked.

All Might went ramrod straight at Gran's tone. "Uh... um... I intended to, but..."

Gran jumped at All Might only for Izuku to grab Gran with Black Whip and pulled him back. "All Might! Run! I've got him!"

Gran turned around and kicked at Izuku who flared Full Cowling and grabbed his foot before throwing him into the wall.

"DEKIRU!" All Might shouted.

Izuku turned to look at All Might. "What?" He asked. "He was going to..."

Gran kicked Izuku into the wall, breaking the wall, and Izuku let out a Smokescreen.

"Toshinori..." Gran said. "What is this kid?"

Izuku grabbed Gran with Black Whip, and flung him into the wall.

"He's my student. He's taken on more of One for All than I ever could."

"I noticed!" Gran shouted as Izuku knocked him around the room, not trying to hurt him, but trying to keep him from hurting All Might.

"He's also a devoted fan of mine."

"I also didn't notice that!" Gran said as Izuku held him in the air.

"I'm willing to let you go if you don't attack All Might." Izuku said.

"I wasn't going to attack him." Gran said. "I was just messing with him."

"Dekiru here has a problem with distinguishing between bullying, hazing, and playing around."

"I see, I see." Gran said. "Will you let me down now kid?"

"You aren't going to hurt All Might?" Izuku asked.

"No." Gran said.

"Okay." Izuku said, letting him down.

Gran looked up at Izuku. "So, you're the next holder of One for All."

"Yes." Izuku chirped.

"Kinda plain looking, dontcha think, Toshinori?"

"He has the heart of a true Hero." All Might said.

"I can see that. Okay. Let's go on patrol."

"Wait, right now?" Izuku asked.

"I was going to have you try and catch me, but you already did that, so I don't think we will really need to work on that, so that leaves patrolling... unless you don't want to go on Patrol."

"NO!" Izuku dropped to his hands and knees, slamming his forehead into the floor. "Please, let's go on patrol!"

All Might and Gran looked at each other before looking at Izuku.

"I was just pulling your leg kid." Gran said.

"Oh. Okay." Izuku said.

"Go put your stuff in the guest room on the left, and let's go."

"Okay!" Izuku bounced up and ran upstairs, putting his stuff in the guest room, he headed back downstairs. "I'm ready."

"Let's go Young Dekiru." All Might said.

"Okay." Izuku said, as the three went out to Patrol.

Izuku, All Might, and Gran Torino were on patrol walking around, keeping the masses safe when a concussion hit a train track knocking the track off course. while a Train was coming towards it. It would derail and injure many people if they couldn't do something.

All Might ran over to the train track and pushed it back into place, holding it in place for the train to pass safely until the repair team could arrive and a detour could be given while the train tracks were repaired.

A second concussion hit the Ferris Wheel causing it to begin to tilt and fall.

Without thinking, Izuku flew towards the Ferris Wheel to stop it from falling. Using Black whip, he grabbed the Ferris Wheel and pulled with all his might, but it wasn't enough. He needed to anchor himself and use Full Cowling to stop the Ferris Wheel.

Looking around, Izuku saw a tower and shot Black Whip out of his other hand and felt the intense strain on his body almost immediately.

"Full... Cowling... one hundred percent!" He screamed as his muscles burned and he felt them begin tearing, holding the Ferris Wheel in place as the building began cracking, glass began shattering, and steel began bending under the strain.

Izuku grit his teeth and felt tears roll down his face as the strain was almost too much. He felt his skin begin tearing under the strain of keeping the Ferris wheel up. His arms strained and he felt like his shoulders were going to dislocate. "RAAGGGHHHH!" He shouted in frustration as he flexed to keep the Ferris Wheel from falling.

Gran Torino looked around for the Concussion user and saw him getting ready to hit the kid. "Not on my watch." He growled. Jumping at the Concussion user and kicked him in the kidney causing the Concussion user to cough up blood. "You caused untold damages, committed villainous actions, and tried killing my student who is holding up a Ferris Wheel and can't defend himself. You earn no mercy from me!"

All Might ran over to the Ferris Wheel after the train tracks had been shut down and he no longer needed to hold it up and began pushing against the Ferris Wheel to take some of the strain off of Izuku. "Young Dekiru!" He shouted. "DON'T WORRY! WHY!? I AM HERE!"

Izuku felt tears burn the corners of his eyes as he heard All Might say his Catchphrase and felt himself become reinvigorated by the words, allowing him to pull the Ferris Wheel upright with All Might's help.

"Don't worry!" A familiarly unfamiliar voice called out, using All Might as a springboard to get up to the Ferris Wheel and fuse the metal back together. "You're good Hero!" The voice shouted at Izuku. "You can let go! I welded the Ferris Wheel back together."

Izuku felt his strength leave him with a sigh of relief and he fell out of the sky.

Gran Torino caught Izuku, and they landed hard, but much lighter than if Izuku had landed by himself.

A thunderous Crack filled the air and looking up, Gran Torino saw a portion of the building come crashing down towards him and Izuku.

"Gran! Dekiru!" All Might shouted, running over to them, and catching the building with his massive arms. "Gran! Get Dekiru out of here!"

Gran dragged Izuku out from under the chunk of building. "You're good!" He shouted at Toshinori.

All Might dropped the chunk of building on the ground and looked around. "Are there any injured?" He asked in his calm and confident, but worried tone.

The Ambulances, police, and firefighters pulled up to the accident as well as the news stations.

"ALL MIGHT!" A reporter asked. "What happened?"

All Might picked up Izuku and carried him to an Ambulance.

"What happened..." Gran Torino told the reporters. "...is that a villain tried to derail a train, and cause destruction with the Ferris Wheel if not for All Might, his Sidekick, and that up-and-coming youngster." He pointed at the one who welded the Ferris Wheel back together."

"Gran Torino!" A reporter yelled. "Are you back!"

"For now." Gran said.

"Who is All Might's new Sidekick!" Another reporter asked.

"Dekiru the Dragon." Gran said.

"Is he from U.A.?"

"Yes."

"Who was the Attacker?" Another reporter asked.

"He had a Concussion based Quirk."

"Why did he do this?"

"That is for the police to determine."

"Who's the new hero?" Another reporter asked.

"Go ask him yourself." Gran Torino said.

The Reporters ran to the new Hero to ask him who he was.

Gran Torino headed to Toshinori. "Toshinori." He spoke. "How's the kid."

"They took him to the hospital." Izuku said.

"Let's go." Gran Torino said.

Izuku woke up in a hospital room, something that he was getting more and more used to at this point. Looking around, he tried to sit up only to find out that he couldn't. "H-hello?" He asked.

"Young Midoriya." All Might said from the corner of the room. "Are you okay."

"I can't move." Izuku said, feeling a little better knowing that he wasn't alone.

"The doctors didn't want to heal you until they knew all the damage that you had taken, and you were awake."

"Okay. Did we save everyone All Might?" Izuku asked.

"Yes, Young Midoriya." All Might said. "There were limited casualties, and the Ferris Wheel didn't collapse."

"That's good." Izuku said.

"Yes, Young Midoriya, it is. Let me call the nurse." He said, heading to the door and calling out to the hallway to get a nurse's attention. "Excuse me." He spoke. "My intern is awake."

"Of course, we will be right there." A nurse said, going to find a doctor.

A few moments later, a doctor and a nurse came in and began looking Izuku over. After an examination they determined that they could heal him over the course of a few days and began healing him.

Inko and Hizashi stopped, and Inko cried as he had put himself in harm's way to save innocent people, but that didn't mean that she didn't let All Might have a piece of her mind.

Inko glared up at All Might's seven-foot three form, standing exactly two feet taller than her. "I will not hold this against you." She spoke, going into Lawyer mode. "Izuku was on a Hero Internship, and Heroes get hurt, but please. Keep my baby safe from now on. Mitsuki can tell you horror stories of what are classified as "small objects" from when we were in college together. I hope that I've made myself clear."

"Of course." All Might said, sweating from the intensity of Inko's threat.

Izuku and Hizashi looked from each other to Inko to All Might and back to each other.

An old gravelly voice cackled from the corner, reminding everyone that Gran Torino was in the room. "The strongest Hero in the room and you are still cowed by an angry mother."

Inko walked over to Gran Torino and glared down at him, standing a few inches taller than him. "The same warning I gave to All Might applies to you." She glared down at the diminutive Hero.

Gran Torino just laughed. "I like you. Keep Toshinori on his toes when I'm gone." He spoke.

Inko was taken aback but agreed.

"And that's what happened." Izuku said.

"Wow." Jason said. "When I thought that I couldn't get more afraid of Auntie Inko."

"Your mom is terrifying!" Denki shouted.

"You don't even know the half of it." Rogue said.

"Us next!" Anna shouted.

Anna and Elsa pulled on their gloves, gifted to them by Kristoff, looked at the Hero Commission building, looked at each other before taking each other's hands and raising their other hand into the air before saying: "Combo move: Arctic Downpour!"

The water vapor in the air rapidly cooled, and the Hero Commission building froze solid into a massive block of Ice, freezing everything in place, cryogenically freezing the corpses left inside by Jason, Johnny, and Izuku.

Neptune looked at them. "Let us go young Naiad, Yuki Onna."

"Coming!" Anna called after him, leaving the others staring at the Hero Commission frozen in a megalithic block of ice.

Everyone looked at Anna and Elsa as they left with Neptune.

"So." Neptune said. "Where should we go? What should we do?"

"I think that we would be more useful as environmental Heroes." Anna said.

"Yeah." Elsa agreed. "Maybe we could just go wherever you go and help out where we can?"

"Okay." Neptune said. "Let us go."

They spent the next week helping out where they could.

On Friday, they got an alert that a Tsunami was going to hit the coast.

Anna and Elsa ran down to the beach and Elsa pulled her gloves on before shooting her ice into the water, freezing the water, walking out farther and farther, freezing the ocean as she went out until the Tsunami was in sight.

Pushing herself to the limit, she froze the Tsunami into a wave break, freezing it solid, and backing away, freezing as she went until she was on the beach again, and flopped onto the beach, panting and gasping.

"Well done, Yuki Onna!" Neptune cheered. "Well done!"

"YOU DID IT ELSA!" Anna cheered, Hugging Elsa.

Elsa hugged Anna back. "Thanks." She spoke. "Can we go home now? I'm exhausted."

"I don't doubt that." Neptune said. "You stopped a Tsunami in its tracks... however, I fear for the repercussions of your actions."

"What repercussions?"

"Where will all that ice go when it melts?"

Exhaustion took Elsa sending her into Morpheus Embrace.

"You froze a Tsunami!" Jason shouted.

"Yes." Elsa blushed.

"I think the appropriate expression is..." Shouto said. "... that's hot... though I don't know why since Ice is cold."

Everyone looked at Shouto before looking at Elsa.

Elsa was blushing furiously pink.

"OH! MY! GOD!" Ashido said.

"CUUUUUTE!" Hagakure cooed.

"AWW!" Anna cooed.

Uraraka squealed.

Momo tried to be composed, but she was breathing slightly heavier. Creating a fan, she began fanning herself and blushed slightly.

"They would make a good couple." Tsu said.

Jiro just smiled a sly smile.

Toga smiled a sharp smile and giggled a horrifying giggle.

Everyone watched Toga.

"You good Toga?" Jason asked.

"Yeah. Why do you ask?"

"Just making sure."

"May I ask what you did with the energy from the Tsunami wave and the Earthquake?" Momo asked Elsa.

"Neptune took care of it." Anna said. "His Quirk is so cool, but it's kind of hard to explain."

They looked at Izuku.

"What?" Izuku asked.

"Where's your notebook entry for Neptune?" Jason asked.

Izuku looked at them. "Neptune is a Hero who has an Environmental Control Quirk. He could cause it to rain, causing flooding, or he could cause a drought, or even make the next Ice Age, or any number of other Environmental disasters... I'll have to ask him if he could Terramorph other planets, or maybe even..."

"Izuku." Jason said, pulling him out of his spiral.

"What? Oh, right. Um, where was I? Oh yeah. He mostly uses his Quirk to feel for environmental changes and only alter and change them if the Environment would harm humanity. If he were to die, I am sure that we would see many changes with the Environment going back to normal. Haven't you noticed how we haven't had many typhoons and bad weather since Neptune debuted?"

Class 1-A thought about that.

"So, my best guess is that Neptune allowed Elsa to do this so she could get a better understanding of her Quirk. He probably cancelled out the Earthquake with his Quirk... though maybe not cancelled it, maybe lessened it? I don't know. I'll have to ask him for a more in depth understanding of his Quirk to see just how strong his Quirk is... I think his Quirk is an Alpha Level Quirk, it might be an Omega level Quirk."

"Anything else?" Jason asked.

"Nothing that I would feel comfortable saying without more proof."

"Cool, so Neptune stopped the Earthquake and the Frozen Tsunami."

"I would say so." Izuku said.

"Cool. Kirishima. You're next."

"Not much happened dude." Kirishima said. "Tetsutetsu and I worked with Sentinel, and that was it. It was pretty boring. We went to work with the police, did grunt work, and honestly, I think I might go back. Might not, but I guess we'll see. The Police are so manly!"

"Cool." Jason said.

There was a knock on the door, and a Nurse came in. "Okay. Visiting hours are over."

Class 1-A groaned but made their way out of Jason's room.

"See you tomorrow, Jason." Tsu said, moving from foot to foot before running her hand along his shoulder, and left the room.

The nurse smiled, checked Jason over, and left Jason for the night.

Tsu came back the next day after School and walked in on Jason talking with an older version of him. "Oh." She spoke. "Sorry, I didn't know you were busy. Kero Kero"

"No, no. This is Jason Todd from a world where he is the most powerful person in the world."

The older Jason looked at Tsu who felt like she was being looked at by an Apex Predator. "I approve." He spoke.

"What?" Jason and Tsu asked in unison.

"Oh. She's attracted to you. The Pheromones coming off her aren't overly powerful, not like Weiss when she's horny or pregnant, but they're there."

Tsu blushed.

"Dude." Jason said. "Knock it off."

"I forgot that you don't know what I'm talking about. She's into you. She wants you in the coupling sense."

"DUDE!" Jason snapped, seeing Tsu's blush deepen.

"What?" The older Jason asked, looking at Tsu. "Tell him how you feel." He told her.

Tsu felt compelled to tell Jason how she felt. Tapping her fingers together, she looked at Jason. "Um... I do." She blushed.

"Please be specific." The older Jason asked, almost annoyed. "You're almost sixteen, you're practically an adult, and adults are confident and specific about what they want... well, well-adjusted adults are."

Tsu looked at Jason. "I like you, Jason." She blushed. "Kero Kero."

"See." The Older Jason said. "That's better, isn't it?"

"I like you too, Tsu." Jason said, causing Tsu to blush.

"Good." The older Jason said. "I'll leave you two. Remember to use that watch I gave you. You can call me on any of the days that are not marked, and I'll add more days as more and more events come up. Okay. Have fun you two." He said before falling into his shadow before coming back out. "Can you send me back to my own world?"

Jason let the older Jason go and was left with a blushing Tsu. "Sorry." He spoke.

"It's fine." Tsu said. "When are they releasing you? Kero Kero."

"I should be released on Friday. The doctors just want to make sure that I am okay and not going to collapse or something."

"Are you okay? Kero Kero."

"I have to wear warm clothes now because my body doesn't produce its natural heat like it used to, but other than that, I'm fine."

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry."

"I'll get used to it, and Aizawa sensei said that I need to retake the Quirk Assessment Test again and that if I'm not in the top ten that he WILL expel me, no logical fallacies to push me to do my best this time."

"What are you going to do? Kero Kero."

"I'm going to push for top five. My new Quirk isn't as powerful as my old Quirk, but I'll make do."

"If anything, I'd say that your new Quirk is more powerful than your old Quirk, purely from an adaptability standpoint. You can call on any of your other versions, and if they are all like that version of you..." Tsu gulped. "...That's terrifying. Kero kero."

"You have a point." Jason said. "I just hate that I have to rely on other versions of myself rather than being able to do it myself. I'll never be able to fight Izuku or Johnny or Rogue on equal footing again. I'll always be in the background, always calling the shots, I won't be the one fighting my own battles. How can I confidently call myself a Hero when I'm sending other versions of myself to take care of the threats alongside my friends?"

Tsu looked at Jason. "Soooooo your entire reason for hating your new Quirk is because it takes you out of harm's way, even though you are the equivalent of a Swiss army knife, being able to call upon the exact thing that you need at that moment? You are Rogue just in more of a physical form. Rogue can get the Quirk she needs right there, but you, you can look at a situation, realize the exact person you need for that situation, and take care of the problem without a second thought. Though, I don't see how most issues can't be solved with that Jason that you just sent back. He's terrifying. When he looked at me, it felt like I was being looked over by an Apex Predator, and he read me like a book, instantly. Kero Kero."

"He is pretty terrifying, isn't he?"

"Yes, he is."

Jason got quiet for a moment. "Um... Tsu..."

"Yes Jason?"

"How should we... um... how should we go about this... if we wanted a relationship, that is."

"Well... I think that we've done the hard part already, but we might want to take things slow for a few weeks, maybe see where we stand. If we want to take this to the next level of a relationship after a few weeks, we can, and then if everything works out after a bit, we make it official. Kero Kero."

"Okay. I think that I can agree to that."

"Okay." Tsu said. "I can agree to that too." She said, sitting next to his bed, taking his hand in hers.

Chapter 37: Training Montage Part 1 of ?

Summary:

Jason has to get stronger, so he has to train, and not just him, all of Class 1-A. They have a little under two months until the Final Exam.

Notes:

Trigger Warning: Mentions of Kidnapping, SA, R@pe, and murder, Viewer Discretion advised, also mentions of Pedophiles.

Wow, another chapter after only two weeks. I don't think that's happened in a while. Hopefully the next chapter won't take too long to get out, but I won't make any promises because it seems like whenever I try to stick to a schedule, I end up failing to meet expectations, and I'm sorry for that.

There is an update at the end of the chapter, so please look into that. Enjoy.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Jason was released from the hospital Friday at 17:00. He met with the Therapist version of himself at 3:00.

"Hello Jason." Therapist Jason said. "Usually, I take this first session to get to know my patients, so, would you like to take some time to tell me about yourself?"

"My dad is an asshole; my mom was killed by a villain with a Quirk that literally destroys things, and he could pull them back together, and that activated the fast-acting cancer that the Hero Commission put inside my mom. My dad forced a Quirk enhancement on me, which is basically rape. I was kidnapped, tortured, almost killed by villains my dad hired to kidnap and kill me. My friend was kidnapped, and I went to save her, and then I lost the Quirk that I did have and was given this Quirk to summon other versions of me... that's the Cliff Notes Version."

Therapist Jason looked at Jason. "Oh boy. We have a lot of work to do."

"I figured." Jason said. "I'm pretty fucked up."

"Nope." Therapist Jason said. "We aren't going to do that. What we need to do is we need to start with positive affirmations. Rather than saying: "I'm pretty fucked up." Say: "I have some work to do."."

"A lot of work."

"Nope. Say it. Say: "I have some work to do."."

Jason looked at Therapist Jason.

"Say it." Therapist Jason said.

Jason grumbled something.

"Say it."

Jason mumbled something.

"Say it."

Jason whispered something.

"Say it."

"I have some work to do." Jason said, chuckling near the end.

"Come on now. That laughter is a deflection. A way to deflect the emotions that you are actually feeling. You don't feel safe expressing emotions, so you deflect with humor. Now, say it, but don't deflect, let the emotions out, feel the emotions, we will work on them together."

Jason looked at Therapist Jason.

"Say it." Therapist Jason said.

"I..." Jason took in a shaky breath. "I... have some..." Jason's chest felt tight and hot. He pulled on his collar to relieve some of that heat and discomfort. "...work to do." He said, clearing his throat.

"Good. Say it again."

"I have some... work to do." Jason felt his throat burn, and tears sting the corner of his eyes.

"Again."

"I have some work to do." The burning in his throat burned worse, and tears began leaking from his eyes.

"Good. Again."

"I have some work to do." Jason said, his voice breaking, as he began silently crying.

"Good. Again."

"I have some work to do." Jason whispered, his voice hoarse and raspy.

"Good. Why don't we call it a day. I'll wait with you if you want, but your Stepmom is here, and I would like to talk to her for a few minutes."

Jason nodded.

Therapist Jason walked over to talk to Raven.

"What's wrong?" Raven asked.

"Jason has a great deal of Trauma we need to deal with."

"Shit sherlock, first name no. What makes matters worse is that all of this has happened this year."

"This year?"

"Yeah, this year."

"Fuck." Therapist Jason wiped his face. "Okay, yeah, we have a lot of work to do. I want to see him once a week, and maybe you should take him to see a psychologist so he can get some medication to help with that. A lot of the trauma he's dealing with is what is making it so difficult with him accepting his knew Quirk. If he could come to terms with what's happened, he might be able to come to terms with his new Quirk and realize that it's a good thing. A new beginning."

"Okay." Raven nodded. "I'll look into it."

"Please do."

"I will."

Therapist Jason walked back to Jason who sent him back to his own world.

Raven walked over to Jason. "Hey kiddo. You ready to go home?"

Jason nodded, and pulling in a shuddering, shaking breath.

"Let's go." She spoke.

Jason and Raven walked out of the hospital and headed home.

When Jason and Raven got home, Rogue was there, working on homework.

"Hey Marie." Raven said.

"Hey mama." Rogue said, looking up. "Hey Jason." She smiled, glad that her stepbrother was home from the hospital.

"Hey Rogue." Jason said, his body physically drained, emotionally exhausted, and his voice mirrored that.

"You, okay?"

"No, but I'll get there."

"Yeah, you will, you'll get there."

"I'll make dinner." Raven said. "Go rest up, and I'll come get you when dinner is ready."

Jason nodded and headed to his room, put his stuff up, and passed out.

Raven started cooking dinner.

"Is Jason okay, mama?" Rogue asked.

"The Therapist thinks that he should see a psychiatrist so he can get medication to help him come to terms with his new Quirk."

"Maybe we could talk to Jean Sensei. Maybe she could do something?"

"Maybe. We can try."

Jason woke up from his nap only to realize that it was dark. Looking at his phone, he saw how late it was.

00:21

"Fuck." He swore, changing out of his clothes and into a pair of shorts and a muscle shirt before looking at his Quirk.

Summon:

Jason Todd/Bandit/Jason Kyle/Jason Kyle-Wayne: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Red Avatar: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood: Gotham Knight: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/J'son T'odd: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Crimson Crusader: Summon?

Looking at the new Summon, Jason decided to Summon him.

A figure appeared, floating in the air, almost as if he were sitting in an armchair, reading until gravity took effect, and he fell, but he landed gracefully, before looking up and staring at Jason. "Huh. Where am I?" He asked, nonchalantly. "Who are you?"

"Um. You're in Musutafu Japan. My name is Jason Todd. I'm a younger version of you. I used my Quirk to summon you here. My Quirk is the ability to summon other versions of myself."

"I see." The older version of himself said. "So, why have you summoned me?"

"Partially... mainly because I wanted to see what your whole thing is about. One of the people I'm able to summon is a version of me with absolutely terrifying power. The power to control the shadows."

"Terrifying." The man said nonchalantly.

"So. What's your thing?"

"I'm a thief. My thief name is Bandit." He said, turning the page.

"Bandit?"

"Yes, Bandit. My Thief suit is based on the Ferret. I have these capsules and smoke bombs that I can throw that smell heavily of skunk. So, Bandit."

"Oh, I see."

"So. Why did you really call me?"

"My Quirk is not my old Quirk. My old Quirk made me a genuine threat to deal with seeing as I was able to fight, create weapons, and was so much stronger than I am now. Now, all I can do is summon other versions of me to fight my battles for me."

"So, your new Quirk or whatever it's called makes it easier for you to stay safe, but it makes you feel weaker because it takes you out of the danger zone and offers you the best version of yourself to deal with the problem at hand. Does that sound about right?"

"Well, when you put it like that..."

"Okay. Stand up." Bandit said, standing up, and putting his book down.

Jason stood up and met Bandit in the center of his room.

"First." Bandit said, extending his hand. Squeeze my hand as hard as you can. Don't give me some bullshit, arbitrary amount of strength. Squeeze my hand like you mean it."

Jason did so, and Bandit looked at him. "I told you no to give me some arbitrary amount of strength. Squeeze my fucking hand."

"I am." Jason said.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Wow. You're weak. Like pathetically weak. Like, a newborn deer levels of pathetically weak."

"Asshole." Jason said, trying to pull away, but Bandit wouldn't let go.

"I'm not even trying, and my grip strength is easily ten times this strength. No wonder you miss your other Quirk. Now let me show you proper strength." Bandit said, crushing Jason's hand in his own, and it kept getting tighter and tighter, like a vice grip, until Jason's hand was about to break and Bandit stopped. "Wow. It looks like you desperately need help. Here. I'm going to help you."

Bandit took Jason through several exercises to make his grip strength stronger and making him stronger. "You need to start climbing everything. Climb everywhere. Start small until you are able to climb skyscrapers. Take it slow and don't use ANY kind of climbing gear. Do Parkour, Wall Crawling, tightrope walking. Start small and work your way up to being able to walk tightropes blindfolded. Become someone without fear. Take away your fear of falling, take away your fear of dying, and take away your fear of not having your other Quirk, and you will become unstoppable."

"Really?"

"Yes. Now, let's start."

Raven and Rogue woke up the next morning and walked to Jason's room. "Jason?" Raven asked, knocking on his door. "Are you okay?"

The door opened and mother and daughter were met by an older version of Jason, maybe his mid-thirties? Unlike other versions of Jason, this one wasn't built like other ones. He was built different. Rather than having broad shoulders and visible muscles, his body was thin, almost lanky and spindly.

"Hello." This Jason said, controlled and liquid, seductive almost. "Are you looking for the younger me?"

"Yes." Raven said, awestruck by this version of Jason.

Bandit stepped aside and showed Jason doing a handstand on his fingertips, and doing... push-ups? He would flatten his hands until his palms were toughing the floor, then he would push himself up until he was perfectly balanced on his fingertips.

"This is an exercise to build up Jason's finger strength and grip strength. He's actually not completely useless. He has a good foundation, but he never fully realized his potential. That's what I'm doing, realizing that potential."

"Jason is already incredibly skilled." Raven said, defending Jason.

"Skilled yes, has he realized his full potential? No."

"What do you mean?" Rogue asked.

"He relied too much on his Quirk and now feels like he's nothing without his Quirk, so I'm making sure that he deserves his Quirk because if he's nothing without his Quirk then he doesn't deserve it."

Rogue wanted to say something but knew that Bandit was right.

Jason kept exercising until Bandit told him to stop.

"Okay." Bandit said. "You can stop now. We'll work on the next exercise now."

"What's the next exercise?" Raven asked.

"Let's go." Bandit said, leading Jason to the ground floor of Raven's apartment.

"What are we doing?" Jason asked Bandit.

Bandit scaled Raven's apartment before climbing down. "Do that." Bandit pointed at the apartment.

"What?" Jason asked.

"Come on." Bandit said. "Climb the building."

"Is this the next exercise?"

"Yes. Do it."

"I don't have nearly that level of skill."

"Just do it." Bandit said, pulling out a book to read. "Oh, and if you fall, here's a Grapnel to catch yourself."

"Thanks." Jason said, putting the Grapnel on the back of his shorts, and tried climbing the apartment. "I can't get any traction." He told Bandit.

"You can, you just aren't trying hard enough."

Jason tried climbing it, getting only a few feet off the ground before sliding down the wall. "How do you do this?"

"Practice." Bandit said nonchalantly.

"UGH! Fine." Jason snapped, trying to climb the apartment building again.

Bandit watched as Jason failed to climb the apartment building again and again and again. He watched as Jason tore his hands up again and again and again.

Jason kept at it though, and he admired that, even though he wasn't showing it, he admired Jason's drive. If Selina were here, she would teach him drastically differently, but Bandit knew how Jason thought and felt, because Jason was him, he was Jason, so he needed a different way of training Jason.

Jason looked at his hands and refused to stop until he reached the top of the Apartment building.

After hours of reading, Bandit closed his book, finished reading his signed, first edition copy of Sense and Sensibility. Selina had stolen it for him as an Adoption Day Present after he'd stolen each suit of Bruce's and the Bat Families Bat suits for her Adoption Day Present.

Looking around, he noticed that he couldn't find Jason. Did he leave when he saw that Bandit was enjoying his book? He was going to get it. Bandit was going to throw him off the roof and make him climb the Apartment Building... He was cut off when a scream of accomplishment filled the air.

Looking over at the wall, he saw blood coating the side, all the way up to the roof.

Climbing the apartment in record time, Bandit found a sweaty, bleeding Jason, lying on the roof, exhausted.

"Well, color me impressed." Bandit said, crossing his arms, smirking down at Jason. "You actually did it."

"Fuck... you..." Jason gasped.

"Ew, gross. One, why would I have sex when I can read a good book? Two, if I were going to have sex with you, a younger version of me, when I could have sex with an older, mature person who isn't you?"

"You like... fucking... cougars?" Jason asked.

"No, I don't like fucking anyone. I'm Ace. Fuck sex. Give me a bucket of garlic bread, a cake, and a good book any day over sex. When I said older and more mature, I meant someone who wasn't a literal child. What are you, fourteen? Fifteen? Sixteen?"

"Fifteen... going on... sixteen."

"Yeah, no, I don't fuck children. Selina and I play this game called bounce the Pedo where we toss pedophiles off buildings to see how far they can bounce. If they go splat, we both lose."

"Oh. I see."

"Yeah. Now, get up and climb down. Then you can go shower and take care of your hands."

"Seriously?"

"Yes."

"My hands are torn to hell and back."

"That sounds more like a you problem." Bandit said, crawling over the edge and looking at him. "Oh yeah, and if you use the stairs, you'll have to climb up and back down again."

"I hate you."

"Good. Hate is a good motivator." Bandit said before climbing down to side of the building and laid under a tree to take a nap.

Jason pulled himself over to the edge of the building and began climbing down, practically sliding down the wall, tearing his hands and shoes up even more.

Bandit looked up when he heard Jason land hard on the ground, making sure that he wasn't overly injured. "Good job. Now, go take a shower and clean up your hands, and I'll give you your next exercise."

Jason just sighed and headed up to Raven's apartment.

Raven and Rogue had cooked and cleaned up after breakfast, lazed around for a bit, cooked and cleaned up after lunch, and were not expecting a knock on the door.

Raven walked over to the door and opened it to see Jason whose hands were torn up, and he was bleeding.

"Jason?" Raven asked. "Are you okay? Whose blood is that?"

"Bandit made me climb up the apartment complex and then climb down the apartment complex. This blood is mine."

Without thinking, Raven changed to Shiela and healed Jason's hands before changing back and looking at Jason whose eyes were wide with pain. "Oh fuck." Raven said, running to her room, closing the door and broke down in her bathroom, sobbing at what she had just done.

Jason walked into his room, grabbed his stuff for a shower, and walked into the bathroom, getting into the shower, still dressed in his workout clothes, turned the shower on, and sat in the shower as his clothes rapidly began to get wet.

Rogue walked to her mom's room and knocked on the door. "Mama. What happened?" When no sounds came from her mom's room, she went to check on Jason in the bathroom, but no sounds came from the bathroom, so she went to the front room to wait.

Bandit climbed the apartment complex until he reached Raven's apartment and knocked on the window to the front room.

Rogue looked up and saw Bandit before letting him inside.

"Thanks." Bandit said, sitting in a chair and pulled out his book before starting to reread Sense and Sensibility.

"You don't seem too shaken up by being brought here." She spoke.

"Why should I?" Bandit asked. "If I get stranded here, I can always steal whatever I need to get by."

"Like what?"

"Name something and I'll bring it back, if I ever come back."

"The Declaration of Independence." Rogue smirked, remembering National Treasure.

"Childs play." Bandit said, taking out his phone and scrolling to a picture and showed her a picture of him and a woman wearing a cat suit standing in front of a security camera waving with one hand and holding up the Declaration of Independence with the other hand. "Selina and I stole the Declaration of Independence on August 2nd."

"Okay." Rogue said. "I see what you did there."

"Thanks. It's sort of a big brain joke. If you know, you know. We stole it, posed in front of the security camera, put it back, and left, just to show that we could do it."

"Did you get in trouble?"

"We stole the Declaration of Independence. Of course we got in trouble."

"What happened?"

"We had to help the National Archives Museum with their security systems so something like that won't ever happen again."

"Did you?"

"It was either that or prison for a very long time. So, we helped them out."

"Did you upgrade the system?"

"Yes, and now the National Archives is the most secure place on earth... along with a ton of other places including Arkham."

"What's Arkham?"

"A psych-prison. It's a psych hospital but also a prison. It originally started out as a psych hospital, but as time went on in Gotham, it slowly became more of a prison. Their worst inmate, a psychopath named the Joker eventually died."

"How so?"

He tried kidnapping me hoping that it would drive Batman over the edge since Batman and Selina are an item, but he didn't take into account that Selina took it personal and ripped him to shreds before he could so anything to me and made sure that the bastard was dead before putting him in an industrial grinder, Michael Myers style and the rest was history."

"Wow. She must really love you?"

"Yeah, and I love her, as my mom. There were two other Jokers and one of the other one's tried killing her as revenge for the other Joker, so I killed him."

"What did you do?"

"I broke his back over my knee, broke his arms and legs and strangled him to death before throwing him into an industrial grinder. The third joker finally wised up and went more or less on the straight and narrow and his crimes became more or less harmless pranks. He even made it to Selina and Bruce's wedding."

"Really?"

"Yeah. It wasn't a bad wedding either, but if Selina's AO3 account is anything to go off of, their honeymoon was erotic as fuck."

"What does that mean?"

"Selina wrote so much Batman X Catwoman smut that it nearly tripled the tag. Her and Bruce are about as horny as two rabbits in heat year-round."

"Oh, wow."

"Yeah. There are some things that you never want to know about your parents."

"True." Rogue said.

Raven was in her bathroom, crying, part in fact to the fact that she had so easily shifted to Shiela, and half because she had been so careless.

Once she had finished crying, she fixed herself, took in several deep breaths, and walked out to check on Jason.

"Jason?" She asked, checking his bedroom.

Jason?" She asked in the front room where she saw Bandit and Rogue talking.

"He's in the bathroom, mama." Rogue said. "Are you okay?"

"I accidentally shifted to Shiela, and it startled me at how easy it was."

"Oh." Rogue said, understanding.

"Did mom die in this universe?" Bandit asked.

"Yes." Raven said. "She was killed twice. First by a man whose Quirk allowed him to rip things apart and put them back together at his leisure, and second by the Hero Commission who put a slow acting cancer in her body so they could get easier access to Jason."

Bandit's eyes flashed with fury. "Where do these Commission bastards live?"

"They are already dead." Rogue said. "Jason, Johnny, and Izuku killed them, and Jason also stole all their money."

"Where do they live?"

"Jason knows that; I don't."

"I know where they live." Jason rasped from the hallway, startling everyone.

Jason was in the bathroom, breaking down, when he felt someone touch his shoulder and when he looked up, he didn't see anyone, but he felt his mother's presence. He knew that she wouldn't want him acting like this and felt strength flood his limbs before he stood up, stripped out of his stopping wet clothes and showered, cleaning away all the grime and sweat before he wrapped his towel around himself and walked to his room before dressing in shorts and a muscle shirt before leaving.

When he got to the front room, he heard Bandit asked. "Where do these commission bastards live?"

"They are already dead." Rogue said. "Jason, Johnny, and Izuku killed them, and Jason also stole all their money."

"Where do they live?"

"Jason knows that; I don't."

"I know where they live." Jason rasped from the hallway, not realizing how fucked his voice was, startling everyone. "I know where they live."

"Where?" Bandit asked.

Jason went and grabbed his wrist computer and scrolled to a file with the Hero Commissions information on it before handing it to Bandit.

Bandit took the computer, read the information, remembered it, and handed the computer back. "I'll be back." He said, jumping out the window.

Raven walked over to Jason. "I'm sorry." She spoke. "I reacted without thinking."

"It's fine." Jason said. "I mean, it's not fine, but it's fine."

"I'll start working on dinner." Raven said, leaving Jason and Rogue alone in the front room.

"You, okay?" Rogue asked.

"Not really." Jason said. "But I will be."

Bandit found a map, looking over the map, accessing the Hero Commissions addresses in his memory and found their houses on the map, and made his way to the first house.

Making his way to each house, he laughed at how easy it was to break into, look around, and leave before heading back to Raven's apartment.

Raven was in the kitchen, cooking dinner, Katsu Curry, when Jason came in and began cutting the cabbage for dinner.

Raven wanted to say something, but Jason spoke first.

"My mom wouldn't want us to break down every time we think about her. It was a natural reaction to seeing me bleeding. Thank you."

"You're welcome." Raven said. "I never meant to..."

"I know." Jason said. "I know."

Jason and Raven cooked in silence until dinner was done, and placed the plates on the table.

"Marie." Raven called out. "Dinner."

Rogue came in and sat down.

Jason and Raven sat down, and the three began to eat.

Bandit climbed in through the window and walked into the kitchen. "So, I looked at the Commission's houses, and they don't have anything worth stealing. If they thought they were real, they thought wrong and bought fakes."

"How did you figure that out?" Rogue asked.

"Please. I stole Lex Luthor's dignity." Bandit laughed.

"As if that ever existed." Jason snarked.

"Okay smart ass." Bandit said. "I stole the Hope Diamond." He tossed his phone to Jason, which had a picture of Bandit wearing the Hope Diamond around his neck. "And; I stole the Declaration of Independence."

"So, you're Nick Cage now?"

"National Treasure was over complicated and boring. Selina and I walked in, stole it, and walked out."

"Okay, fine, you win."

"Good. Now. For your next exercise, you need to keep up your practice. Climb the apartment complex, your school, and stores until you can climb it in under a minute. Once you can do that, call me back and I will give you your next assignment."

"Okay." Jason said.

"Good, now, send me back. I'm going to steal Superman's shorts, so he only has the blue suit to wear."

Jason activated his Quirk, and unsummoned Bandit.

After dinner, Jason helped clean up and went to bed. He could deal with other problems tomorrow.

Shigaraki's Bar, Kamino Ward.

Mineta racked the bar and sat up off the bench press, looking in the mirror. He looked different now. His orbs looked like they had been put into a playdough syringe and squeezed out.

Sensei had given him another Quirk that had made him stronger, he now had the ability to alter his orbs and after looking through various hair styles, he liked these dreadlocks best. They made him look cool and tough.

Looking in the mirror, he stood up and saw that his much smaller frame had been filled out, and he had muscle. He was strong. To prove it, he walked over to the punching bag in the "Gym" and punched it, hard enough to knock it off the ceiling mount.

Wiping the bench off and heading to his room, he took a shower before dressing in a pair of pants, a muscle shirt, and a form fitting shirt.

Looking at his bed, he saw his... "Partner"... lying spread eagle with her arms secured to the bedposts. He smiled, remembering the good times he'd had. Leaving her alone, he didn't hear the sigh of relief and the whimper she'd made... had he noticed, he would have stayed and given her his full attention.

Walking down to the bar, he sat down and took the non-alcoholic beverage Kurogiri passed him.

The door opened and Monoma walked in.

Monoma was so cool. Sensei had also given him a new Quirk, an adaptability Quirk. He could now steal another's Quirk and Adapt to their Quirks so he would never get hurt by their Quirks like he did when he took Midoriya's Quirk at the Sports Festival.

Monoma was also more confident and less likely to talk trash because he no longer felt inferior or superior, he just was, and that was what made him so cool.

He wore a pair of sports tennis shoes, relaxed fit jeans, a muscle shirt that hid just how jacked he was, and an unbuttoned button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to just above his elbows. He was so cool.

"Minetta." Monoma said.

"Hey Monoma." Mineta said.

Monoma headed up to his room to do whatever he did up there. Another thing that made Mineta think he was cool.

Monoma opened his window, pulled out his pack of cigarettes and began smoking. He fucking hated Mineta. He wouldn't have a problem with him except for the fact that he was a damn kidnapper, rapist, and murderer. He would kidnap women that looked like Anna, keep them locked in his room, then when they stopped looking like Anna, he would kill them and ask Shigaraki to dispose of them.

The only reason Monoma had joined the League of Villains was because he was blacklisted from Hero work. He hated this life, but he was at least free to use his Quirk as he saw fit.

Finishing his Cigarette, he put it out, flicked the butt outside, aired the room out, and went to sleep.

Mineta finished his drink and headed upstairs to his room where he was going to have some fun. She probably only had a few more days before he'd have to bribe Shigaraki to dust her and he'd have to find a new "partner". Oh well, all's well in love and war and all.

Jason woke up the next morning and did his exercises given to him by Bandit.

Once he had done his exercises, climbing up the apartment building, and climbing back down. It was much easier today, and he finished in a decent amount of time, showering, eating breakfast, and going back to his room to look at what else he could do to train. He went back to school tomorrow, and he wanted to be at his best.

Thanks to his years of training, he wasn't as far behind Bandit as he likely would be if he'd just started yesterday.

Looking at his Quirk Screen, he saw:

Summon:

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Jason Todd: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/Red Avatar: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood: Gotham Knight: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood/J'son T'odd: Summon?

Jason Todd/Robin/Crimson Crusader: Summon?

Jason summoned the first Jason and a man who wore very loose-fitting clothes appeared in his room and looked around. "So, you're the version of me who can summon other versions of himself?"

"Yeah." Jason said.

"Why did you summon me?"

"How much time do you have?"

The Yoga Jason looked at his watch. "I have a few hours until my first class, why?"

"Because I was wondering if you could help train me."

"Train you?"

"Yeah."

"How?"

"What is it that you teach?"

"Yoga."

"How useful is that."

Yoga Jason did a splits and contorted his back so the crown of his head was touching the floor. "I'd say very useful."

"Can you teach me Yoga then."

"Yes, it's not very difficult, so, let's get started."

Rogue and Raven passed Jason's room hearing talking.

"Jason?" Raven asked, knocking on the door. "You, okay?"

"Yeah." Jason said. "Just training."

"Okay."

"I made breakfast. It's on the table."

"Thank you." Raven said as her and Raven.

Raven and Rogue went to the kitchen and saw breakfast on the table. Omelets.

Sitting down for breakfast, they ate.

"Do you want to go to the spa today?" Raven asked Rogue.

"Sure, mama." Rogue said.

"Let's go get ready then." Raven said.

"Jason." Raven said, knocking on his door. "Rogue and I are heading to the spa for the day; did you want to go with us?"

"I'm going to stay and train." Jason said.

"Okay." Raven said, heading out to get ready for the spa.

Jason was doing yoga with Yoga Jason, doing yoga until Yoga Jason had to leave for class.

Jason kept practicing what Yoga Jason had taught him, until he was tired, and decided to take a nap.

Raven and Rogue walked into the spa, and Raven paid for the full package, and since Raven was a model, she could do walk-ins like that.

Raven and Rogue laid on the massage table, and their Massage Therapists came in.

"Hello Darkhölme-san." Raven's Massage Therapist said. "Do you want the usual?"

"Yes, please Mori-San." Raven said.

"Okay Darkhölme-san." Sachi said, starting Raven's Massage.

"Hello Darkhölme-Chan." Rogue's Massage Therapist said. "My name is Kobayashi. Before we start, would you feel more comfortable with a male Massage Therapist."

"I think I would rather have you than a guy, Kobayashi-San." Rogue said.

"Okay. I am just required to ask."

"Understandable sugar." Rogue said, laying down on the table.

Kobayashi-San began with Rogue's Massage.

After Raven and Rogue finished their Massages, they moved onto the Sauna.

"Ugh." Rogue moaned. "This feels good, mama."

"I told you." Raven sighed. "Too bad Jason didn't come with us. I think that he'd enjoy this."

"He probably would." Rogue said.

They stayed in the Sauna until it was time to get out.

They moved onto the mud baths, then they showered off, bathed in the mineral water, before rinsing off and sitting in the hot spring before showering and leaving the spa for the day.

"That was fun, mama." Rogue said.

"Yes, it was Marie." Raven said, hugging her daughter. "Thank you for indulging me."

"You're welcome, mama. What should we do for dinner, if Jason hasn't already fixed it himself?"

"We'll figure that out when we get home."

"Okay, mama." Rogue said.

On their way home, a villain attacked.

"Stay here, Marie!" Raven said. "Let the Heroes take care of it."

"But I'm here and can do something about it, mama."

"I know, Marie, but I can't watch you get hurt. I can't watch you in the hospital again... not like that."

"Okay, mama." Rogue said.

"Thank you." Raven said.

They watched as the Heroes showed up but were outmatched by the Villain's invulnerability and adaptability.

"Hey!" A voice shouted. "Try this on for size! RAAGGGHHHH!"

The air was filled with the sound of someone powering up, before the wind began spiraling before light filled the air and a beam of energy shot out towards the villain, overpowering them, and knocking them unconscious from the sheer power of the energy beam.

The wind calmed, and everything went back to normal as the Villain was taken away.

Rogue picked Raven up and flew home where they found Jason in the front room.

"So." Rogue said. "How did it feel to fight that villain?"

"No clue what you're talking about." Jason said.

"Jason." Raven said. "That sounded like you, an older, angrier version of you, but it sounded like you."

"Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't."

"Did you at least have fun?" Rogue asked.

"Yeah. I trained for a bit, took a nap, and made dinner."

"And stopped a villain." Raven said.

"Allegedly." Jason said.

"Sure." Rogue said. "How was training."

"Great. I think it will help in class."

"Let's hope so."

"Dinner." Raven said.

They sat down at the table, ate dinner, and went to bed.

U.A. the next day.

Jason walked into class 1-A and was bombarded by his classmates.

"Let's sit down." Jason said. "Aizawa Sensei will be here soon, and I'm already going to get chewed out for what I did on my internship."

"Dude!" Kirishima shouted. "What did you do on your internship?"

"I'll tell you later, let's sit down."

Aizawa walked into class 1-A, expecting them to be acting like little shits, running around the classroom and being menaces, so when he walked in and they were sitting down, not being little shits, he was sure there was an ulterior motive... then he saw Haywood.

"Haywood." He spoke. "Stay after class. "I have your evaluation for your internship."

"Yes sensei." Jason said.

"Blaze. You stay too; I have something to talk to you and Haywood about."

"Yes Sensei." Jason and Johnny said in unison.

"Now, the final Exam is coming up quickly, and you need to train and study. If you fail the exam, you will be forced to take summer classes to make up for your exam. The rest of you who do pass, will be going to a training camp to train your Quirks. Any Questions?"

The class was quiet for the most part, just some quiet talking among friends. How different class was when Jason was in it, and something exciting wasn't happening... which he expected in the next bit.

"In other news. I Island will be holding I-Expo the week before the camp. So, if you are somehow fortunate enough to go to the expo, don't embarrass the school."

The class was quiet for that too... was this even class 1-A?

"Furthermore, at the end of the camp, you will be taking the Hero Exam. Seeing as..."

"HERO EXAM!" Kirishima and Denki shouted. "That's awesome!"

"But we'll only be second years next year, Sensei!" Uraraka shouted, raising her hand.

"Ooh!" Ashido shouted. "That means that we will be Heroes one year early!"

'There it is.' Aizawa thought. 'At least Haywood, Blaze, Darkholme, Midoriya, and the Martin Sisters are being quiet.'

Jason snapped his fingers, and the snap filled their air, making everyone stop talking and look at Jason.

Aizawa looked at Haywood and nodded. "Thank you, Haywood." Aizawa said.

"You're welcome, Sensei."

"Now." Aizawa said. "Next year, on the first day, you will be taking the Quirk Assessment test again. If you have not made any improvement, I will expel you, and this is not a logical fallacy. You have been training for a year, and if your numbers haven't improved, I will expel you. That being said, if you stay in the same position as last time, but your numbers have improved, I will not expel you, but if your numbers are worse than last time, or you have gone down in ranking without any improvement, I will expel you. The last thing the world needs now is a bunch of Heroes who can't even Hero running around. We are working on establishing a new HPSC, with more regulations to keep them in line and serving the common people, but the old commission had made a mess, and the civilians are not willing to trust Heroes so easily, so you need to give them a reason to trust us again. I suggest many of you choose to become Underground Heroes, and if you get expelled, I suggest that you become a Vigilante if you wish to still become Heroes. Many Underground Heroes are willing to work with Vigilantes so long as they don't cross the line. Am I understood?"

"Yes, Sensei." Class 1-A said in unison.

"Good." Aizawa said, looking at Jason. "Haywood. My warning still stands. If you do not make it to the top ten, I will expel you..." He looked at the rest of Class 1-A. "...and if any of you try to fudge your scores to make Haywood look better, I will expel all of you. Trying to make a classmate look better is not admirable, it is foolish and idiotic. That being said. I want all of you to try and ensure that Haywood gets eleventh place or lower, make the Quirk Assessment as difficult as you can for him, so he has to work even harder for it. That being said, you can do silent study or silent group study. Haywood, Blaze, with me."

"Yes, Sensei." Jason and Johnny said, walking out to the hallway with Aizawa Sensei.

"Haywood, Blaze." Aizawa said. "It has been decided that you two will take the Entrance Exam next year with the incoming students. We want to see you do your best and will be judging you harsher than the incoming students. We won't tell you how so you don't have an unfair advantage, but we will be judging you harsher. Am I understood?"

"Understood, Sensei." Jason and Johnny said in unison.

"Good, Blaze, leave Haywood and I so we can talk."

"Yes, Sensei." Johnny said, leaving Jason and Aizawa.

Aizawa motioned for Jason to follow him to the Nedzu's office.

"Ah, young Haywood." Nedzu said. "Come in, come in."

Jason walked in and sat down in front of Nedzu's desk while Aizawa stood by Nedzu.

"Is this the part where you tell me I'm expelled?" Jason asked.

"No Young Haywood." Nedzu said. "However, because of your actions, you have lost your old Quirk and are going to have to do considerable training in order to catch up to the rest of class 1-A. You have a little over a month to train, and so, we are offering this one time offer to help train you to get up to where the other teachers feel you should be. If you say no, your training will fall in your own hands, and if you fail, that will be on you and no one else."

"This is only for you, Midoriya, and Uraraka." Aizawa cut in. "If Midoriya thinks that I didn't hear his confession about only getting his Quirk the day of the Entrance Exam, he has another thing coming, he should have told me about this at the beginning of class."

"If I may, Sensei." Jason said. "Izuku didn't because up till his time at UA, teachers haven't had his best interest in mind, so why would you think that he would trust a teacher who hadn't shown that he cares about him or his well-being?"

Aizawa felt like he'd been struck. "What did you say?"

"Midoriya-San and I have been planning on taking down Aldera Junior High for some time now, Shouta." Nedzu said. "If you would like to help, we meet after school hours are over."

"I'll take that into consideration." Aizawa said before looking at Jason. "15:00, you, Midoriya, and Uraraka will meet me, and whichever teachers can spare the time until the week before the final exam. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Sensei." Jason said.

"Good, now, get back to class."

Jason bowed and left Nedzu's office. There was work to be done.

Notes:

In terms of Storyline, I have the Training Montage ark which will last as long as I need it to in order to get the characters to where they need to be. My timeline goes as follows.

Training Montage Ark: 2-6 chapters.
Final Exam Ark 2-4: chapters.
I-Expo Ark 1-3: chapter.
Summer Camp Ark: 2-6 chapters. (Jason, Bakugo, and Izuku will come to terms with each other in this ark [I have been waiting to write this ark since I wrote chapter 1. I have been waiting to write this and coming up with different ways to deal with this, and I can't wait to write it, and I also won't write a chapter for "Tales of the Multiverse" because Spoilers, but I am VERY excited to write this ark, especially with what I have planned I will tell you that it involves Johnny and Elsa coming up with a Combo that I have had planned since Chapter 1, and I am very excited to write it).
Hero Training Ark: 1-3 chapters.
Hero License Exam: 1 Chapter

This is just my basic outline, things are subject to change, I'm more or less just letting you know what to expect. I only have plans up to the Hero License Exam. I have plans for after the Hero Exam, like:

Heroes' Rising Ark: 3-6 chapters.
Worlds' Heroes' Ark: 3-6 chapters.

But as I said, things are subject to change and I'm not entirely sure how to get from the Hero License Exam to the Heroes' Rising ark, maybe I'll just jump over to Heroes' Rising after the Hero License Exam ark, but I don't know, and I don't even know how I'm going to get to the Worlds' Heroes' Ark yet, but I'll figure it out.

Anyway, I've taken up a lot of time on this note, hopefully the next chapter won't take too long to get out, until next time, enjoy.

I'm honestly surprised Jason would feel that way towards to All Might considering hes supposed to be very jaded to the concept of heroes in general due to how Batman didn't kill the Joker after killing him. I don't see why he would want to ever be a "hero"

  This Jason hasn’t been put into the Lazarus pit so he doesn’t suffer from the Pit Madness, or that corruption. He also has that childlike wonder because he’s younger and while he has the brain of a fifteen year old he also has the brain of a four or five year old.

  After taking some time to think it over, and looking at your channel, I do both think that I would have a problem with you making an audio drama of my work.

      Yes, go for it. I trust that you'll take care to keep it in the same spirit that I've written it, and give people another alternative to enjoy my work.

  That is an excellent point that I didn't even think about when writing. It makes sense that he would do that. I might have to add a scene that explains why he didn't/doesn't or go back and have him do it.

Can I make a suggestion?
When Monoma tries antagonizing Class 1-A, I want Jason to beat the ever-loving shit out of him.

  I love your enthusiasm and where your heads at, and I will say that I love that idea, but for now, I will see what happens. I can say that Monoma copies the wrong Quirk and pays dearly for it though.

        Okay. I thought you might have been going for true Anti-Hero Jason or Villain Jason. I won’t tell you what happens because that would be telling. I will let you read and see what happens before letting you decide if you are okay with what happened.

Jason really needs to make a retractable mask if people are gonna keep asking him to show his face.

  My idea for his final mask is the mask from Arkham Knight, that might change, or he might just tell people to screw off when they ask to see his face.

Is Willis like the Black Mask of this universe or something?

  Or something. Alfred Pennyworth Said it best in ‘The Dark Knight’: “Some men just want to watch the world burn.”

  Quite possibly, but the Penance Stare makes you feel all the pain you’ve caused others throughout your life on a continuous loop, and Overhaul has caused A LOT of pain, so that is probably the last thing he sees before the loop restarts. If you haven’t read it, I recommend reading a fic called “Wolf in sheep’s clothing.” It’s a fic where Izuku becomes the new number one villain after killing All for One. Eri gets revenge on Overhaul in it. Pretty dark but worth it in the end.

      Here’s a link and the title and author in case the link doesn’t work. I thought it was on AO3, but it looks like it’s only on Fanfiction.net.

This mental is so dumb I can never respect villains for pathetic excuses for hurting others. It like a school shooter coming killing innocent just cause someone bullied them. In my own mind if your hurt get the help you need if your a victim stay one you don’t get the pass to hurts other, OTHER than you abuser. I have always thought about writing a book on the bully perspective of someone who was abandoned by their loved ones for being exposed of being bully, but they ended up changing opening a disciplinary Academy, and always thought about bakugo when I think of writing this and reading this chapter honesty disgust me to my core this doesn’t solve anything but your deep sick desires. I have read stories that people said the bully deserves to be raped LIKE REALLY.

  You’re talking about the alternate universe where there is the evil Izuku. It’s an alternate universe where Izuku snapped and destroyed Hero Society. That is a plot line, and will be important later on.

      Ah, I see. I did have to reread your primary message a few times to understand, then I had to go find the chapter that you posted it on, and that's when it made sense.
      It is difficult to understand meaning text.
      I'm glad that you are enjoying the story, and I hope you keep reading.

It’s a shame that barely anyone knows this fic exists cause it’s fantastic and you did a good job on it

  Thank you, I'm glad that you like it. Knowing that you like it is more than enough for me, keep on reading, I'm hoping to have the next chapter up sooner rather than later.

      I don't really use any social media. I only have X to follow one of my favorite fic Authors.
