Hey guys, so yeah, long time no update. IDK why but I've been having trouble continuing some of my stuff. It's not that I don't like it, its more like re watching a movie you know inside and out. Oh well, I will be working on that stuff soon, probably Monsters Run just due to the fact I am tired of it still not being done.

But on to why you are here! So this was actually one of the first three ideas I had for MHA Fics. The first was Monsters Run, followed by Dreams, then came this. This was the fic that came about from trying to understand the appeal of Mina Ashido. Fics like Awkward energy gave me that sudden appreciation, then the anime Toradora gave me the protagonist. Running gag of that show is that the main character's eyes scare other people, so I began to wonder what a protag that actually had terrifying eyes would be like in MHA. Thus Hunter was born.(watch toradora btw it is the greatest thing ever)

This will be my first attempt at a series, as this will have three parts, the latter two will be a crossover but in a rather unique way I think. I really hope you all enjoy!

Chapter 1

"Guys! Wait up!"

"If you could simply leave the classroom without all of the gossiping we wouldn't need to wait up."

Mina mock pouted. "You're so mean Kiri. How is that supposed to be manly, you picking on fair ladies such as myself?"

Her friend laughed. "Fair ladies? Where?"

She elbowed him in the side as she laughed along with her friends as they made their way home. Kirishima and Denki had wound up in a spar against each other thanks to Vlad King taking over their PE for the day, Kiri had won, though Denki insisted that he was taking it easy on him. Jirou had smacked him in the back of the head with one of her jacks before mocking his thumbs up smile after he used his full power. She was about to join in the teasing when something caught her eye across the street. Across the street was what appeared to be a large bear, walking upright, and wearing a UA uniform. She didn't realize she was staring until her friends stopped to look as well.

Denki shuddered. "Just look at those paws. I'm glad he's not in our class."

Mina frowned at that. Denki hadn't ever shown issue with anyone's appearance before. Hesitantly she asked "You know him Denki?"

Denki shook his head. "No, but he unnerves me. I head he had one of the highest scores in destruction points in his class, second only to Itsuka."

"So he's in 1-b?" Mina asked. Curious at her friends sudden discomfort.

"It doesn't matter," Kiri cut in, "he has a reputation from his prior school. He used to terrorize a lot of kids in his old school, so much so that his parents had to pull him out and teach him themselves. He shouldn't even be here..." Mina was shocked. Kiri's fists were clenched and the anger in his voice surprised her. She and Kirishima had been friends since they were kids, and she knew that he had never met the kid across the street, so why were her friends being so hostile?

"Has anyone here actually met him?" She asked pointedly.

"No but-" They both started before she cut them off.

"Then why are you both so quick to assume he's so bad?"

Kirishima started slowly. "Because it's not just one rumor, it's all of them, every story that anyone knows from before he came here. His own class doesn't want to be near him. And he won't open his eyes-"

Mina scowled. "So we pick on the blind now? It sounds to me like the only problem is that he looks weird and sits alone... Although that is starting to make sense now." She said pointedly before sliding away. It surprised her exactly how angry she was with him, and to be honest, it scared her a little. She didn't even know the kid's name but watching her best friend, the one person who had always hated people that picked on her because of her weird looks, judge him set her off. Her parents noticed her foul mood but didn't pry. After dinner she helped Makoto with his homework and made sure his backpack was ready for the next day. She had ignored Kiri's texts that night. As her brother went to brush his teeth before bed, she slowly lowered the braille text book into the bag, and felt a pang of guilt. She would apologize to Kirishima in the morning. After all, she had probably over reacted when she learned the other kid was blind. There was no way Kiri had actually meant for it to come out that way!

"I can't believe you!"

Kirishima crossed his arms defensively. "I apologized for my comments last night, but I'm not going to go out of my way to befriend the guy."

Mina scowled at him. "Are you serious? What on earth has gotten into you? What happened to the guy who never let anyone get picked on because of their appearance?"

"I don't. Watch him. Watch how he treats his class. He's a bully Mina, and I won't abide that."

She turned away from him and began to stomp away. "Tell that to your buddy Bakugou!" She spat over her shoulder.

At lunch that day she ignored her friends and headed straight towards where 1-B sat for lunch. To her surprise she didn't see the bear-like figure anywhere. Monoma caught her looking and stood up, only to be knocked out with a chop to the back of his neck, as Itsuka stood instead.

"Ashido, right? What are you looking for?"

Mina smiled. "Hey Kendo, I was just looking for someone. He walks home the same way I do and I wanted to introduce myself. But I haven't been able to figure out what class he's in." She hoped her sort-of lie would slip past the big sister on 1-B and to her delight it did.

"What's he look like? Maybe I can help!" The redhead said happily.

Mina grinned. "Great! He looks pretty much like a bear..." She trailed off when all of 1-B suddenly focused entirely on their food. Even Itsuka stopped smiling. "Did I say something wrong?"

Itsuka waved her concern away. "It's not that... Hunter is... different. He always eats outside, but I wouldn't plan on him being excited to meet you. He's been in our class since the beginning of the semester and he only speaks a few words to me... Just...be careful, okay?"

Mina nodded and walked away more confused than before. Why was everyone so on edge around this guy? It didn't make sense, and Mina was resolved to getting to the bottom of the matter. She made her way outside and stopped in her tracks. Her target was sitting underneath a tree, eating a roll of sushi with chopsticks, with his eyes still closed. If it hadn't been for his arm still bringing the sushi to his mouth, she would have thought he was asleep! She began slowly making her way towards him until his ears seemed to almost rotate towards her and he put his chopsticks down. She froze for a second, but since he didn't move, she made her way towards him. "Hi, I'm Mina Ashido, I hope I didn't disturb your meal, I just wanted to-"

Abruptly the bear sighed. "Look Ms Ashido, there is no point in doing this. You can head back inside, tell them that I was rude, or that I snapped at you, or made indecent remarks. Tell them whatever you want. Then forget about me and enjoy the rest of your life." His voice had almost a growl to it, but it was cold, and he went back to eating dismissively. Mina frowned. This was not how this would end.

"I think we may have gotten off on the wrong foot," she said, forcing a smile back onto her face. "I know how tough it can be in a new school when you're blind. My little brother is blind as well, so I-"

"I'm not blind." He growled mid bite.

Mina tilted her head quizzically. "I'm sorry, I just always see you with your eyes closed and I assumed."

"I know why you did it." Mina felt a brief flash of annoyance. She was trying to be nice and he kept growling at her! His nostrils flared and he put the chopsticks down. This time when he spoke the anger was gone, and he was almost remorseful. "Look, I'm sure you are super nice. I'm sure your friends said some really crappy stuff about me, and you couldn't believe it, so you came to meet the poor outcast. Heck you could be an outcast yourself. But this outcast is fine being alone. I appreciate what you are trying to do, but it's better for you to just walk away." She was going to tell him off, but his voice changed towards the end, and he couldn't hide the sadness in his tone. Mina grinned, she knew exactly what to do. She plopped herself down right beside him.

"Well outcast, I'm gonna call you outcast till you tell me your name by the way, I think today is a lovely day to eat outside!" She smiled as he tensed up beside her, only to frown as he closed up his lunch box, and stood up.

"Well, enjoy it." He growled and stalked back inside. Mina tried to call out to him, but he was already inside, so she dejectedly began eating her lunch.

She was on her way back to class when Vlad King pulled her aside and told her that she was expected in the principal's office. Countless pranks, rule violations, and failed tests popped into her mind as she was lead down the long hallways towards Nedzu's office. Before Vlad could even knock, the principle called for them to enter. Mina was lead to a seat facing the principal's desk as Vlad closed the door. To her surprise, Hound Dog took the seat next to her, emerging from the shadows behind her. Suddenly the roller chair slowly rotated, showing the principle. He smiled at Mina as Vlad took a seat on the couch behind them. Nedzu winked at Mina. "Don't worry, my dear, you aren't in any trouble."

Curiosity got the better of her. "Then why am I here?" She blurted out, before covering her mouth in embarrassment.

Nedzu laughed before hopping onto his desk, and padding his way over to her, patting her on the head as he sat on the edge of his desk. "A good question will never get you in trouble my dear. However, I shall leave the answering of your question to the school guidance counselor!"

Hound Dog shook his head at the principle before turning to Mina. "What are you trying to accomplish with Hunter?"

Mina was surprised that they already knew about her attempts to get to know him. "I just wanted to talk to him. I thought he was blind, he wasn't, but my brother is blind, so I figured that he might want a friend."

Nedzu laughed again. "I told you there was nothing to worry about. Mina may not be our star student, but I knew she was not mean spirited. As a matter of fact-"

"Excuse me," Mina interjected softly. "I don't mean to be rude, but what is the big deal with Hunter? Everyone seems to have some opinion on him, even those outside of his class, and now all of this?" She said motioning at the three faculty members. "Something weird is going on, and it seems like I am the only one who doesn't know!"

Nedzu was a little put out about being interrupted, but Hound Dog spoke. "Hunter is a special case. We aren't allowed to discuss student's personal information but just know that a lot of us have our eyes on him. What you tried to do today was well intentioned, but was handled wrong, in the future please do not attempt to force him to talk with you. Just keep being friendly. Maybe try and sit with him again, but further away the next time."

Mina's head was spinning. There was definitely something going on with Hunter, but no one was going to tell her, and that only deepened her resolve to get to the bottom of this. Nedzu was talking with someone over the PA system, but she didn't notice until Aizawa walked in. She shrank down in her seat under her teacher's withering gaze as he sat on the couch by Vlad. Nedzu hopped off of his desk and walked towards the two teachers, Mina and Hound Dog spinning their chairs to face the same way. Nedzu paused dramatically before speaking. "I think we should have a temporary swap. That would seem to solve all of our problems." Hound Dog, Vlad, and Aizawa all stiffened.

Hound Dog objected first. "Such an environment shift would not help. It may even feel as though his first teacher didn't want him."

Aizawa rubbed his eyes. "Give up Hound, there's no point in fighting it... who do you want me to swap for?"

Vlad scowled. "Hunter." Aizawa's hand stopped, and he looked up at Nedzu.

"And who am I swapping?"

"Ojirou!" Nedzu cheered.

Aizawa glowered at the furball in front of him. "You want me to give up one of the best behaved students I have, and put one of Vlad's most disruptive... in the front row!"

"Of course not!" Nedzu denied making Aizawa relax. "I've already worked out a new seating chart for you."

So our journey has begun.

First things first: Mina is OOC. Well sort of. I don't write characters like her well, but I will be trying to get her into the pink bundle of energy we know and love. She is OOC here because everything is a little different. Her brother is disabled, and so she tries to branch out and befriend someone she thinks is the same way. Obviously she would approach someone like that differently due to her experience with her brother.

Second things second: Kiri is OOC. Not really. As will be addressed later, Kirishima hates bullies, and he has actually met people that claim to be victims of Hunter's. He means well, but Hunter unnerves him as well.

Third things third: Makoto. I don't remember where I heard the name, but I love it as her younger brother. If the author who came up with that reads this, or if any of you know the author, let him/her know and have them pm me if they want it changed. I don't want to step on any toes, I just liked the name.

Last things last: This will not be something focusing on class activities. This is about Mina and Hunter, so don't expect too much about their day to day activities in class. Hunter will only be in 1-a for a few weeks before the hero killer arc, though his activities will be with 1-B and Ojirou will return for 1-A activities, to avoid continuity errors there.

Again i really hope you all can enjoy this, please let me know things you would like to see Mina and Hunter do, or at least Mina try to get Hunter to do to break him out of his shell. Feedback will be crucial here to help me keep Mina the same way we all know and love her. I hope you will stick around to see whats coming next*cough*mutants*cough*
