Hello again! Here is next bit...this was a chapter I did at 4am so there is prolly some OOC-ness and crazyness but I've have at least two people tell me it's not bad so...anyways thanks again to TheKursed for being my very brave beta reader!

Apparently, due to Izuku being added in as a 5th recommendation student, there was going to be some sort of 'Quirk Demonstration' that Izuku got to go to at UA for today. Nezu had explained that for recommendation students the demonstrations were usually private and just so the UA staff could understand what they were going to be dealing with and how their future student's quirks worked. This time, however, some parent had requested it all be done at once since Izuku was being made an exception. He wasn't 100% sure what was going to happen, but Nezu had said there would be a volunteer for him to heal, besides, he gets to go to UA!

Izuku bounced up and down as his mother walked him through the gates of UA with their guest passes. Wow! It was just, even more, 'wow' in person! Izuku stopped dead in his tracks trying to take in the beauty of his future school, luckily his mother reminded him they were already running behind time so he quickly hurried along. There would be time later for being awed by everything. They hurried into the school and All Might was waiting for them inside the main doors, just like he said he would be, and Izuku had to resist the urge to well...fan. Even after two months of training with All Might he still got giddy whenever he saw the Hero. However, today they were here for a reason. Recommendation students had to be recommended by past UA graduates, and All Might was the one who officially gave Izuku his. Wow! (x 3) Even if Nezu probably just asked Mr. Yagi to do so, it was still an honor, and Izuku was getting a bit nervous for today, worried he wouldn't live up to it.

After the meet and greet with All Might and his Mom the Midoriya's were guided to a gym where a small crowd of people, including 4 other teens had gathered. Izuku scanned the crowd and was surprised to see Endeavor there. Ah, so the boy with the half red hair must be his son! Cool! He didn't look that excited to be here though… so instead Izuku scanned the group for Momo.

Momo had been Izuku's friend for a few years now. Her father graduated from the UA business department when he was younger, and while he didn't like the idea of his daughter in a career where she could get hurt, he was supportive enough of her choice. Izuku and Momo were first connected through their college as they were the same age and both extremely young to be in such classes. They were study buddies, and then sparring partners. Momo had been the one to get Izuku into martial arts, mostly because she kicked his butt. However, between overusing her quirk and overtraining, Deku had to heal Momo several times. He understood why she was working so hard, but he had also tried to convince her to slow down. She replied that she would slow down when he did.

Izuku hadn't told Momo of his recommendation, so when he finally caught her eye across the room she smiled in surprise. "Izuku!" She said running over an hugging him tightly. "I can't believe you didn't tell me you were the mysterious 5th student!"

Izuku giggled, hugging the friend he hadn't seen in a while just as tightly. "Sorry Momo, it's kinda a new thing and I wanted it to be a surprise!"

"Well I'm certainly surprised!" she exclaimed, peering over his shoulder to where All Might stood. "How did you even get All Might to recommend you?" He could practically just see a light bulb go off in her head and her eyes narrow in suspicion. "Wait a second...Izuku, when you lifted that bus was it because of-"

"SHHHH!" Izuku whispered. "It's supposed to be a secret." Of course, Momo, who was probably smarter than Kacchan, would piece it together too. Izuku had just hoped it would take longer, as it had for his mother whom he had finally told last month. Luckily Momo understood and nodded once professionally, she wouldn't spoil his secret when she knew how important to was to him. Izuku and Inko also greeted Momo's father quickly as Nezu called for everyone's attention.

"Welcome everyone! Family, friends, facility, past students, and future ones!" Nezu winked towards Izuku and Momo's direction and smiled. "Since we have conveniently gathered around in a circle, please each student tell us your name and then show us what you've got! We have 6 members of the staff here to witness your abilities today." Nezu gestured over to where Eraserhead, Vlad King, Present Mic, and Midnight were all sitting. So he must be counting himself and All Might too. "So go Plus Ultra and show us what you've got! Honenuki Juzo, first to my left, would you go first?"

"Sure! My name is Honenuki Juzo, and my quirk is Softening!" He said excitedly. As he touched the floor and started to sink like it was quicksand. Izuku had just enough time to think 'that's so cool' before Honenuki undid the effect and the floor went back to normal. He also used it on a few other items and the bleachers, as the teachers took notes and looked only mildly interested as they discussed something among themselves. Izuku kept getting a funny feeling they were talking about him with all the discreet looks, but then again most of the people in the room kept looking at him so Izuku just chalked it up to him walking in with All Might and being the 5th student.

"Very good!" Nezu said clapping after the bleachers were reformed. Next was Tokage Setsuna who had a quirk called Self-Amputation. It was also a totally amazing quirk, and Izuku could easily think of several good uses for it, like having her eyes be silent moveable cameras.

Todoroki Shoto just said his name and then sent a line of ice out freezing over half of the room they weren't on, making Present Mic jump, and dropping the temperature in the gym as a whole. No explanation, no nothing, his face passive. A little bubble of worry for the boy came to life inside Izuku. Was he alright? To use his quirk with only a slight scowl on his face? It also seemed to make his father upset, but the sheer power display awed Izuku and everyone else in the room. Some of the teachers watching nodded in approval and Present Mic and Midnight talked animatedly between each other. A few seconds later the ice turned to steam and rose out the open skylights. Izuku was just wondering when he could get the other teen alone to offer to heal his scar, maybe then he would smile? Izuku just knew he would have a lovely smile.

Momo was next. She wowed everyone in the room by pulling out several items, including a medical kit, a gun, and her staff. As a finisher, she turned away from everyone and pulled out an entire motorcycle making a few of the teachers' clap as Present Mic strode up to ask if he could keep it.

Then it was Izuku's turn. Nezu had told him he had something planned for him, so even Izuku was a little unsure how to proceed. Izuku had worked up as much courage as possible, surely he could do this no problem. "Hello, my name is Midoriya Izuku, and my quirk is called Regenerate."

And then Endeavor snorted.

"Something the matter?" Nezu calmly asked as if he had been expecting the small outburst from the number two hero. Izuku thought he probably was if Endeavor was the parent that had complained.

"Oh, I just thought UA still had the policy about not accepting vigilantes into your program." Endeavor said casually like he was not insulting anyone. "But even so, I think it's a tad unfair. I had Shoto recommended years ago. Then the second 'All Might' finds a kid you add in a whole new slot for something as simple as a regeneration quirk." He sighed then. "It's so sad to see the UA standard dropping."

Ouch. That hurt. Izuku had felt bad about just being added into the mix years late, but to hear the number two hero put it so bluntly made Izuku want to cry and crushed what little courage he had built up. His mother put a comforting hand on his shoulder, as both Momo and All Might looked ready to defend him only for Nezu to beat them to it.

"I like to think this is actually our standards rising," Nezu said smiling. "Izuku's, already known and popular with the public as 'Deku', has a quirk license, and was not charged with any sort of vigilantism."

"He what?! He is too young to have a license!" Endeavor sneered.

Nezu hummed. "Normally yes, but Hospitals can issue field licenses to first responders to aid medical teams. Granted normally they do not have a problem with age because you need a college degree and extensive training to be approved, but Deku here is an overachiever and completed both in record time." Nezu smiled at Izuku.

"Everyone here is an overachiever." Endeavor growled. "How does that earn him a spot here?"

Nezu smiled wickedly. "Ah, yes. Let me show you why." And with that Nezu tapped his ear and said: "Send him in."

The doored in the back of the gym opened. A man in a wheelchair rolled in with slight bug features, both his legs cut down to stubs. Izuku recognized him immediately.

(((hahaha I just make up heros now...))))

"You're the Pro hero Grasshopper!" Izuku exclaimed

The man looked surprised as he wheeled up. "I operated in Brazil kid, how'd you know me?"

"You worked in Brazil, but you graduated from UA, and your injury was all over the news!" Izuku said suddenly feeling giddy, Izuku would bet anything he would get to heal this man.

Grasshopper frowned a bit, but before he could comment Nezu started to speak. "Welcome the ex-hero Grasshopper; the jumping hero!" He then gestured to the chair bound hero. "Would you please explain why you're here?"

"I'm here because you told me to be Nezu…" The man muttered, but then continued on doing a small speech that sounded rehearsed. "Hello everyone. Two years ago I lost my legs during the 8.3 earthquakes in Chile. Normally I would be an ideal candidate for prosthetics, but due to my Exoskeleton it made it impossible to fit one without it being personalized for me." Grasshopper laughed then. "But oh, did they try. I think I went through over a hundred attempts..." He then turned to face Izuku. "However, if Nezu is to be believed, then I won't have to get prosthetics at all..."

Izuku grinned ear to ear. "No Sir!" he said gesturing to the man's arm. "May I?"

"Be my guest" Grasshopper replied giving his arm to Izuku.

"I take it Nezu has already explained everything?"

"Yup. Please, go right ahead."

Within seconds Izuku was fusing his skin to the ex-heroes. A few small gasps could be heard around the room, but Deku needed to concentrate so he closed his eyes. Deku had regrown several sets of legs and arms over the years, but these legs were special because of this man's bug mutation. Luckily all of his insides were the same, even having normal bones under his bug-like exterior, the muscles were different but Deku loved a challenge. He smiled, by the time he was done he would have this hero jumping again.

It was five, maybe six minutes later when Deku finished. Unfusing his hands and opening his eyes he breathed deeply and looked up at his patient. The room was silent. Sometime over the past few minutes, every last person in the room had gathered into a tight circle around the wheelchair and Deku. They were all staring at the crisp, clean new legs Grasshopper now had. It was kind of a funny sight actually. Izuku had regrown the massive bug-like legs, but it had done nothing for the cut off pants the man had on, making it look like he was wearing booty shorts.

Then, ever so slowly Grasshopper began to flex. He moved one leg than the other, slowly feeling the joints, his eyes big as saucers. Finally, with a choked sob, he stood up. He stumbled for a second almost as if his brain forgot what legs were like but quickly caught himself before standing with a blank look on his face.

Ten long seconds later Deku was starting to get concerned. He had still not said a word and Deku was about to ask for him, anyone, to make a sound, but then Grasshopper smiled.

And jumped.

Twenty feet straight into the air.

He landed with a heavy thud, his bug-like legs bending down into his hero pose before the man himself started to shake violently. He was laughing and crying at the same time. So much so he had to sit down on the ground. Izuku had seen similar reactions before to regaining a lost limb, people overcome with emotions was normal but never failed to put a smile on his face.

"Gods Nezu," Grasshopper hiccupped, wiping away fat tears. "You didn't tell me he would repair them completely!"

Izuku's eyes went wide at Grasshopper comment. "He didn't!" Izuku squeaked then turned to Nezu.

Nezu cleared his throat. "Ah, Yes. I may have brought Grasshopper here under the impression you were just going to fix his phantom pains. If I told him I had a kid that could regrow his legs completely he would have never believed me."

"Your damned right I wouldn't have Nezu, you sly dog!" Grasshopper laughed again taking another big jump before smiling once again, big and open at nothing and no one in particular. "Oh my god. I can go back to being a hero!" He laughed again giddy on resolved feelings and excitement. "I can be a hero again! God! It's a miracle!" Then almost if realizing something he looked to Izuku. "You're Deku right?"

"Ahh...yes?"

Grasshopper smiled. "Any chance you'd want to intern in Brazil?"

"Ah...I don't...I mean-" Izuku tried to reply, but All Might stepped forwards.

"I can guarantee, Hero Grasshopper, that Deku will have many other much closer opportunities for his internships." Then there was some extensive posturing, the two heroes eyeing each other in some unspoken speech, before Grasshopper stepped down a second later, defeated.

"I guess you're right..." Grasshopper sighed. "However still, Deku, I am forever in your debt, if there is anything I could ever do to thank you, let me know."

"Can I have an autograph?" Izuku asked before he could think about it.

"You want an autograph?" Grasshopper asked confused.

"Yes!" Izuku replied. He really really did.

"You just regrew my legs and you want an autograph in return?"

"Yes...?" Izuku said taking out his notebook. Grasshopper just laughed again as he took it and signed on the page Izuku opened it to. It seemed to also be the queue for everyone else to start talking again because all of a sudden everyone was chatting at once. Momo was complimenting him, his mother was nearly crying, two of the other students were getting excited, teachers asking questions, All Might and Nezu giving their approval, but it was all silenced by Endeavors quite comment in the back.

"Ah, so Recovery Girl finally wants to retire. How trivial."

For the second time that afternoon, you could hear a pin drop in the room it was so silent. No one seemed to know how to respond to the Man, even All Might looked lost. Heck, the man's own kid looked affronted on Izuku's behalf.

Nezu pushed his way underfoot and cleared his throat. "You would be wise not to call 'anything' I do trivial, Todoroki." For once Izuku was scared of Nezu, of the simultaneously calculative look and dark and threatening tone that sprang from the tiny creature.

Perhaps, so was Endeavor.

"I mean no disrespect, Principal Nezu," Endeavor backtracked, "Recovery Girl was a fine nurse, and I'm sure this boy," He gestured nonchalantly towards Izuku, "will make a good one too. But honestly, wouldn't his talents be better in the general department, and not using up valued class space and time? The Hero course is for warriors afterall not 'healers'." He spoke the last word with such disdain that for the first time Izuku found himself getting really mad. Number two hero or not, what right did this man have to say it like that?

"He could have my spot."

It took the whole room a good second before they realized who had spoken. It was Todoroki Shoto, Endeavors own kid.

"WHAT?!" Endeavor hissed.

"I said," Shoto calmly spoke, refusing to even look at anyone besides Izuku, "he can have my spot. I would be happy to take the normal entrance exam."

Izuku couldn't help but beam at the boy with large happy eyes and who gave him a smile of his own in return. It was small, more a defiant quirk of the lips, but it was a smile nonetheless and Izuku was overjoyed. Unsure of what he did to make the boy like him, but grateful for it.

"He absolutely cannot!" Endeavor hissed again. "You have been signed up for UA since you were four years old and I will NOT have ANYONE tell me otherwise!" The words were punctuated with bursts of flame, but before anyone could react Momo was already speaking.

"Then he can have my spot!" She called, "Principal Nezu! I would gladly take the entrance exam! If anyone deserves to be here its Izuku!"

"That's quite nice of you, but it is not necessary-" Nezu started but was too quiet to hear over the burst of flames and the chatter.

The last two future students in the room then smiled at each other nodding. "We would take the exam too!" They yelled.

"Yeah! We saw you Deku! On the TV! If you don't belong here than who does?!"

There, with every student pledging their spot to Izuku and every parent squabbling in the room, Nezu calmly walked up to Momo, asked for a megaphone, took it, turned it on high and yelled.

"SILENCE!" ... "Thank you," he said curtly. Nezu then huffed getting up onto All Might's shoulder before addressing the crowd again. "Now, I do not know what has gotten into you all, but let me make this clear. I am in charge of this school and ultimately it is my decision who will attend. Furthermore, this behavior will not be tolerated. From anybody." Punctuating his last words Nezu's stare pierced the Number two hero.

"Mr. Mydoria, as explained over email to all of you, is not taking any spot as I have exercised my right as the principal of this school to make a new spot for him. He will be the 21st student in one class. However, as a last minute addition not only was he recommended, but he will take part in the entrance exam as well." Nezu paused then, "It is considerate of you young ones to offer your spot, but that offer comes at a price. I do not add at 21st student lightly, and the one who finds themselves there must beware. One mistake and they will be the first to go, and that is the end of it."

During this SOMEONE had gotten a little too hot and by the end of Nezu's speech the fire alarm was going off. That was the end of that.

Nezu had dismissed them all. Telling them the testing was over, to leave, and to contact him over Email. People scrambled to get out as Nezu rushed to shut off the alarms before the sprinklers went off. Izuku's mother pushed him along and out the doors and before Izuku had known what had happened he was sitting next to his mother on a Taxi ride home.

It was then that Izuku realized that his gut had been unhappy the whole time, 6th sense just finally calming down.

No really, what just happened?
