Lily pad family
"It's like a puzzle." A familiar voice informed.
Izuku glanced around the roof he was on. Tsuyu Asui! "You didn't jump away from Leon?" He asked. She was moving her eyes all over.
"Maybe there's a specific route." She assumed. "But I noticed you stay behind too. I was surprised when you flew ahead of me. In an instant you caught up to Bakugo. Midoriya is amazing!"
He laughed nervously. "I'm still not sure what happened. Um, Asui how do you feel about working together to get Leon."
She thought it over, her tounge sticking out. "Call me Tsuyu. It does help both of us. What would you ask them for anyways? I would ask for a pond on the roof of our school."
"What? That's it!" 'Compared to me. I sound greedy.'
"What about you, Midoriya?"
He scratched his cheek. "A Boss watch. I want to start a family."
She lit up at that. "Even better for us to work together."
Blink, blink. "Eh, Nani?"
"I think you're the kind of Boss I want to follow. In my family, it's tradition to leave and follow a new Boss for a few years. Then decide if we want to return or not. How about it, Midoriya. Can I join, your family?" Tsuyu as always, is blunt and speaks her mind.
Izuku took a step back almost falling of the ledge of the roof. "Why-why, so easily? I haven't done anything worth while."
"But you saved Uraraka and Takanashi."
"Takanashi?" It did sound familiar. 'Probably another student.' "I didn't save anyone..."
But everyone saw his actions. Except young Midoriya. He glared at his hands. How was he doing this? What was he doing? 'She's saying I helped them. How come I can't remember any of it?'
"For now we should focus on this maze." His new and first family member suggested.
Midoriya snapped out of his confusion. He didn't understand this ability, but he needed to use it right now. He clenched his fist shut and nodded.
He stood, broding on the ledge of a cathedral. His coat shrouded his being. He was at an abandoned hang out spot for him and-
"How do we transport through the invisible barrier, Dark Shadow." Rikka Takanashi, wielder of the Titan's eye, flame: Mist and sky.
Fumikage Tokoyami. Flame: cloud. Carnage boxweapon: Dark shadow.
He closed his eyes. "It feels like the city. Not just a cluster of buildings."
She crossed her arms with a victory nod "And where would Leon be?" She pointed. "The school!"
Bakugo roared in frustration. "The fuck was that, Deku! What the fuck is up with this stupid illusion, Die!" He exploded past buildings. "Where's the damn school!"
Izuku was unknowingly in full cowling, except his movements were thoughtless with pure reaction. Tsuyu couldn't keep up so she just wrapped her tounge around his waist and enjoyed the ride.
Izuku landed on the same bridge he walked past that morning. Tsuyu released her grip and landed with a frop next to him. "The school shouldn't be far from here. It's an illusion, but the layout is Namimori, and Leon has been high above the roof of our school since we entered this fake world." He was able to deduce.
Tsuyu nodded. "So even in this confusing area we have to take our normal routes to school and head to the roof."
Izuku nodded. "From the skyscraper, to the muffin shop, across the train track bridge, over my apartments, and landing on this bridge. We shouldn't be far."
"Let's hurry Midoriya! Others probably figured it out!"
"Die!" Bakugo had made it to the front gates of school, but so did some others.
A powerful presence was holding them all back.
I-pin, and Lambo were barely standing. Rikka and Tokoyami were both using their boxweapons. Dark Shadow was doing its best offensively and defensively. Rikka held a Sythe twice her size, slashing and hacking with agility. She was blocked and countered every single time, same with Tokoyami and Dark Shadow.
Bakugo blasted his fist full of explosive flames foward after leaping. A direct hit. "It was blocked."
One raised forearm.
He stepped in. "Extreme!" With a corkscrew punch!
Chrome facedpalmed from the stands. "Please go easy on them, Ryohei-san."
Bakugo took a direct hit to his gut! He skidded back clutching it. 'A Vongola guardian! Fuck!' "I'll kill you all!" Charging back at the boxing legend.
"That's manly. To the extreme!"
Along with Ryohei guarding the entrance to school was his Kangaroo Box weapon.
Uraraka glanced around. "Where am I?" She was standing on a wall that was one window. "Namimori... Academia... Ara? Leon is right there!" She pointed at the roof above her.
Beeb. Beeb.
It was faint, but growing closer. "That sounds like a timer... what?!" She leaped off as everything blow up. The window-wall and a huge chunk of the school!
The students and Ryohei at the front entrance dropped their jaws. The huge amount of explosive debris was coming right at them!
He lit a cigarette, stepping out of the exposed side of the wall. "That was only a double bomb, kid."
"You too Gokudera-san." Chrome repeated the same cringe of worry for the students.
Uraraka waved her arms trying to fly. She eventually regained control and landed behind the school. "Now it's raining. Man I can't catch a brake."
"Sorry, sorry."
"...Rain..." Deku stopped at the front of the school with Froppy. He opened his hand and held out his palm. The drops slipped past his fingers, some splashed down on the woven threads of his glove.
"Midoriya, it looks like the guardians are in our way. You ready?"
Gokudera was smoking a cigarette defending the interior. Ryohei was protecting the practical route. Yamamoto Takeshi was free roaming. "The carnivores will appear here, right?" The strongest guardian, Hibari yawned, standing on the roof of his school.
Deku, the hero, rose his arm and closed his eyes in hope. "Yea Tsuyu!" Clenching his fist shut and running foward!
