"So... I guess he's doing alright, for now." Tsukauchi sighed. He had been talking to Yagi about Nana and All for One, and he had heard what had happened when Midoriya's friends came. He wanted to check up on the kid, and just happened to bump into Nishiya and Kamihara in Midoriya's room, as well as Shuzenji.

"Until we start asking questions about what the League did." Shuzenji mumbled, "I have a few speculations, none of them good."

"There were a few security feeds that our team managed to salvage from the League's Hideout." Tsukauchi stated, crossing his arms, "We haven't reviewed it yet... but hopefully... it will give us more information about the League."

They were speaking as softly as they could to avoid bother Midoriya, but they could tell that the green haired boy was not, in fact, sleeping, and was trying to listen to the conversation. He was curled up in a ball under Iida's jacket, and while none of them thought was a good position to sleep in while recovering, they didn't talk about it; whatever made Midoriya more comfortable, they'd let him do it.

There was a knock on the door, and Tensei poked his head inside the room, "Sorry I'm late... Tenya just wouldn't stop talking about Midoriya and complaining about the absurdity of hospital protocols."

Nishiya looked at his watch, "At this time? It's almost midnight."

Tensei looked at him and dryly replied, "Yes; the restraints pissed him off that much."

Midoriya shifted slightly, and Tensei froze, before relaxing, noticing the absence of several items.

"He's much calmer now. That's awesome. I was honestly afraid he'd panic again when his friends left."

"Yeah, Nezu was right about letting his friends visit." Nishiya shrugged, "He hasn't attacked anyone since, so I just think he just panicked because the conditions were... a bit too similar to that of when he was being held by the League."

They continued talking, before there were some sounds from outside.

Tensei frowned, "Was there supposed to be anyone else coming?"

"No, there's just supposed to be you, Edgeshot and Kamui Woods." Tsukauchi replied, checking his phone for the list of shifts.

"Also, no updates in the chat either. No one else should be joining us." Nishiya added.

There was something bumping on the door, before they heard a chirp and some meowing. The heroes kept their eyes glued to the door, as they heard the doorknob rattling.

"Not going to lie, that's actually kind of creepy." Nishiya admitted.

Finally the door opened, and Kamihara spotted a white and brown bird pressing down on the door handle, as a small white cat with a bandaged paw pushed the door open with its head; the door was pretty heavy, so it must have had a running start in order to gain enough momentum to open the door.

Nishiya blinked, as the cat held the door open long enough for the hawk to fly into the room, before letting the door close. It shook its head, before spotting Midoriya on the bed.

"Did I just... see a cat and a bird open a door?" Kamihara asked.

Tsukauchi was equally surprised, "Err...Yes?"

Shuzenji sighed, "After they appeared at Kamino, I am no longer surprised. Hello, Reiko, Ryuto."

Reiko turned towards Shuzenji, meowing, before she leapt onto the bed. Ryuto flew over to her, and Midoriya opened his eyes slightly, not moving as the bird gently nuzzled Midoriya's neck, before settling down.

Nishiya texted the group chat.

Wood Man:

We got a cat and bird in the room.

Ryu:

How did they even get there.

Loudspeaker:

Oh, that's where they went. Hitoshi was looking for them in the dorms.

LetMeSleep:

White cat and white/brown bird?

Wood Man:

Yep.

Let me sleep:

Reiko and Ryuto then. Door or window?

Wood Man:

Door. Ryuto pressed down on the handle and Reiko pushed it open. Window can't even be opened.

Loudspeaker:

Yeah, you're right. They're smart.

DracoLady:

Isn't the door pretty heavy?

WoodMan:

Yeah, I think Reiko bashed her head against the door a few times before it opened.

Loudspeaker:

Ouch.

Loudspeaker:

Wait, how did she know where the hospital was?

RatBastard:

You told her it what city the hospital was in when you were talking to Shinsou, Mic.

LetMeSleep:

I told you not to talk about it in front of them.

LetMeSleep:

And I'm pretty sure that you told her how to get there, didn't you, Nezu?

RatBastard:

No. I just told her the general direction of the city, actually. I didn't really know why she was asking, to be honest. I was busy staring at these stupid papers all day.

DracoLady:

So we have Google Cats instead of Google Maps. Great.

CloningMachine:

Told you she was smart.

CrystalBall:

I am here for some reason. Who added me? None of you have my number, as far as I know.

DracoLady:

Err... who are you CrystalBall?

AllMight:

I am so sorry, Nighteye, I added you by accident and I do not know how to remove people.

LetMeSleep:

Good to know you're not stuck in caps lock like that other time.

WoodMan:

Why on earth did you call yourself crystal ball Nighteye?

CrystalBall:

Accurate name, is it not?

CrystalBall:

Stop typing and go to sleep, All Might. You're still a teacher in UA, you're not completely retired yet.

RatBitch:

Also, finishing up my paperwork. Will visit if nothing else pops up. Toshinori, get ready.

CrystalBall:

Sounds ominous. Get ready for what?

CrystalBall:

Actually, I'm curious, I'll pop by tomorrow too.

"Yeah... Eraser and Shinsou were looking for them." Nishiya stated, pocketing his phone, "Came from the dorms, again. Nezu and Nighteye are coming tomorrow... for some reason. Endeavor wants to talk to All Might."

Tsukauchi shook his head, confused, "I just... really want to know how Reiko and Ryuto managed to get here. How did they even know which room Midoriya was in?"

Shuzenji sighed, "Don't think about it. We stopped asking a long time ago."

Reiko shot a glance at Tsukauchi, before looking at Nishiya and Tensei. She hopped off the bed, walking over to the heroes, before leaping up onto the chair, then the table. She stared at Tensei expectantly, before looking at his hand.

"Uh... you want a pat?" Tensei asked, reaching his hand out to her. She sniffed his hand, before nuzzling his hand, and Tensei grinned, scratching her behind the ear.

"I'm practically a tree. She won't try and climb me, right?" Nishiya asked, and Reiko glared at him like he had asked the most stupid question on earth.

"Well, she certainly is expressive." Tsukauchi smiled, letting Reiko sniff his hand, Kamihara following suit.

"Kamui, she's not going to hurt you. I think she's just deciding whether she can trust us or not." The Ninja hero stated.

Reiko nodded, and meowed, and Nishiya hesitantly reached his hand out, letting Reiko sniff his hand, before deeming him okay and rubbing her head against his hand. She hopped off the table, and made her way back to the bed, letting out a delighted purr as she licked Midoriya's cheek, before curling up beside him.

Kamihara watched at Midoriya shifted himself slightly, moving his arm so that he was wrapped around Reiko and Ryuto protectively, before finally relaxing, the tension in his shoulders finally disappearing.

"So… All Might." Sasaki greeted, standing by Yagi's bed. Midoriya was hanging out with his classmates in his room, and while Sasaki was curious about the quirkless child, he did encounter his vigilante persona before, after all, he didn't want to bother them. He had heard about the panic attacks; he figured that he should let the boy spend as much time with his friends before they were kicked out of the hospital.

Hakatama was also in Yagi's room, as well as Nishiya and Tatsuma. Chatora, Tsuchikawa, and Yamada were currently looking over Midoriya.

"No need to be so formal, Sasaki." Yagi laughed, "I can't sustain that form anymore. Call me by my real name."

"Alright then, Yagi." Sasaki replied, "So… the embers are truly gone?"

"Yeah. My power has been weakening slowly since I passed One for All to Young Mirio. Even without fighting All for One… these embers would have burned out sooner or later." Yagi nodded.

"Uh... this seems like a private conversation? Should we leave?" Nishiya asked, but Yagi shook his head, "No... that's fine. We allowed the threat of All for One to linger so long because we kept quiet about it. He is behind bars, but his supposed successor, Shigaraki, is still out there. I think... it's better if more heroes are aware of what he is capable of, so another incident like Kamino would not happen. Mirio will be able to stand as a pillar... but he can't defend the entire city alone. Speaking of Young Mirio... he's been doing a very good job with One for All."

"That is why I recommended him, Yagi." A small smile appeared on Sasaki's face, "How are you doing so far?"

"Great, actually. My arm will still be a cast for a few more days, but I'll be discharged in a day or two." Yagi smiled, before his face fell, "But Young Midoriya… he's going to have to stay for at least another week. Actually… there's… something I need to discuss with you, actually. Regarding the quirk."

Sasaki raised an eyebrow, "Yes?"

Yagi raised his head, looking at Sasaki directly, "There is a possibility that Young Mirio may have other… abilities… that he would have to hone."

The hero looked at his former mentor, confused, "What do you mean by that?"

"Young Mirio is the ninth of One for All. The quirk has been passed through seven others before me. One for All was created from a power stockpiling quirk, combined with a quirk that allowed the quirk to be given to someone. Assuming that the same could apply to all the other previous users..."

"Mirio could have six other powers to deal with." Sasaki finished, still looking somewhat confused, "You never were the type to think like this. Did All for One tell you anything?"

"No, actually. Young Midoriya was the one to suggest this." Yagi admitted.

"The quirkless child that was involved in the Kamino Incident. You did mention that if you met him earlier, you might have considered him as a candidate for One for All. You told him about the quirk?"

Hakamata and Tatsume stopped talking, and looked over to the conversation between the former Number One hero and his former sidekick.

"I assigned the students to write an essay about me." Yagi started, "Young Midoriya gave me an essay... I still haven't finished marking it... But he seems to have some sort of knowledge about me that no one else does. It's in the office... once I get out I'll let you take a look."

"That won't be necessary. Just give me a brief summary."

Yagi sighed, "He mentioned that the amount of time I had spent out in public had been slowly decreasing, from around the time of my fight with Toxic Chainsaw. However, he stated that Toxic Chainsaw would not realistically be able to cripple me to the point where I can no longer spend as much time patrolling. He suspected that the Nomus that attacked the USJ... were made by someone who knew my weaknesses, as Shigaraki stated that the Nomu was made to defeat me, and that was most likely the villain who was able to crippled me all those years ago."

"Smart kid." Sasai nodded.

Nishiya blinked, "Uh... not to burst your bubble... but wasn't the kid being uh... smashed by the Nomu?"

"Shut up, Kamui." Tatsuma sighed.

"He noted that the Nomu seemed to have multiple quirks, and no will of his own. He reasoned that the villain must have a quirk that allows him to give and take quirks at well. He speculated that my quirk... cannot be taken like the other quirks, and since it's not related to super strength in any way at all, he theorised that I have two quirks that were combined into one. Since one quirk is useless on its own, he also thought that the quirk that the villain could not take was more likely given to the person with the super strength quirk, and from there, he raised the possibility that the quirk also could be given to other people, theoretically being able to collect and stockpile these quirks as well." Yagi finished.

Sasaki was impressed. Midoriya wasn't entirely correct, but given how little information there was floating around, it was amazing that he could even make an analysis at all. Not to mention that it was actually pretty accurate, given that it was mostly just guesses and speculations from small bits of information that most people would brush off.

"That got me thinking... as far as I know, every other wielder of One for All had a quirk... if what Young Midoriya theorised is correct, Young Mirio could manifest other powers and abilities." Yagi finished, "I think it is a very likely possibility, and I would like to take some time to actually work with Young Mirio on this after I have sufficiently recovered."

Sasaki hummed, "Absolutely. I would also like to work with him on this... I think we should invite Midoriya, as well; he was the one that brought it up, and I would like to see his analytical skills first hand."

"Er... about that... he hates me." Yagi admitted.

There was a knock on the door, and Yamada walked into the room, alongside Aizawa and Nezu.

"Shift change. Tiger and Pixie Bob went back to check on Ragdoll. Met these two on the way here." Yamada grinned, as Yagi warily eyed the two binders in Aizawa's hands. One was much thicker than the other.

Nezu grinned, his eyes glinting, before he climbed up onto a chair.

"Uh oh." Nishiya gulped.

"Hello, Yagi." Nezu grinned, "There's a lot I have to say... but all that can wait until you're discharged. Since you're resting, Aizawa figured it was a better use of your time to finished marking the essays before all the work starts piling up again."

Yagi flinched, as Aizawa handed Nezu the thinner, more familiar looking binder. The principal placed it on the hospital table, along with a red pen.

"Uh... how many essays are in there?" Tatsuma asked.

"He just has one essay he hasn't finished." Aizawa grumbled, "You're delaying the return of the rest of the class' essays."

Nezu watched as Sasaki looked at the binder with interest; no doubt that Yagi was telling his former sidekick about Midoriya's analysis on his quirk, "You can read it, Nighteye, just don't help Toshinori mark it."

"Sure." Sasaki gave a dry grin, picking the binder up and was about to flip through it when the door burst opened, revealing an enraged Enji.

"Ah, hello, Endeavor." Yagi politely greeted, and Enji growled, "You're retiring?"

The former Symbol of Peace blinked, confused, "Yes? Is there a problem?"

"I've been working my entire life to surpass you, and yet, this is how I gain the Number One position? By technicality?" Enji hissed, "I refuse to accept the position like this."

"Endeavor, please, be reasonable. The city needs a symbol, a beacon of light to guide them, to give them hope. You're the Number One hero now, even if you dislike or hate me, please, don't let that get in the way of bringing everyone peace."

Enji growled, but it was clear that he was somewhat calmer, and the new Number One hero proceeded to stomp out of the room, only for Nezu to speak up.

"There is always room for improvement, Endeavor." Nezu grinned, taking the other binder from Aizawa, "There's some analysis made of you, take a read. We already looked through it, it's all fairly accurate."

Nezu passed the super thick binder over to Enji, who reluctantly took the binder from Nezu, and flipped it open curiously.

He immediately burst into flames, and Aizawa had to erase his quirk before he burnt anything by accident.

"What on earth is this?" Enji angrily hissed, but Nezu was barely fazed by the much taller and larger man.

"Hush now, this is a hospital. By the way, there wasn't enough space in the binder for the entire report, I'll send the remaining two parts of the report to your hero office." Nezu gave Enji a shit eating grin, as the fire hero's hand lit on fire.

"Also, it's printed on fire-proof paper so you wouldn't burn it by accident." Nezu continued, glancing at Yamada as the hero stared at his phone, "Also, if you would like, we can send this to the Hero Commission and let them take a look at it. I'm sure they'll have a lot to say."

Enji snarled, but didn't say a word before he stomped back out of the room.

A big smile formed on Yamada's face, and the Voice Hero burst out laughing, "Oh my god! Thank you for telling me you were going to do that! I got it all on tape... I'm going to send it to Nemi and Tensei."

"Uh... what just happened?" Nishiya muttered, confused, as Tatsuma and Hakamata looking at the laughing teacher.

"Was that the essay that Young Midoriya wrote?" Yagi asked, "He wrote about Endeavor, and you guys were laughing about it in the staff room."

"Yep." A small grin crept onto Aizawa's face, "Midoriya wrote an analysis that's around three thousand pages long, about Endeavor. He basically threw shade at Endeavor for the entire report, and he does have evidence to back it all up, in the appendix."

"And... you can somehow use that report to blackmail Endeavor?" Nishiya asked incredulously.

"Sent! In our hero group chat as well!" Yamada proudly declared, "Nemi's going to get a kick out of this!"

Hakamata blinked, and Sasaki burst into laughter.

"Okay, now, I really need to meet that kid." Sasaki grinned, "He's truly an interesting one."

Nezu carefully pushed open the door to Midoriya's dimmed room, seeing the heroes talking amongst themselves in the room. Yaoyorozu and Iida had to leave early for other matters, and Todoroki had left earlier to visit his mother with his siblings, and according to Sakamata, Uraraka and Shinsou had been forced out of the room by Shuzenji to grab a bite.

Midoriya was lying on the bed, seemingly asleep, with a jacket draped over him which Nezu assumed belonged to either Iida or Shinsou. Reiko and Ryuto were cuddling with Midoriya, lying against the small boy's neck. The principal walked over to the bed, watching as Midoriya sensed his presence and opened his eyes slightly, revealing his emerald orbs.

"Hey, Izuku." Nezu gave Midoriya a small smile, "How are you doing?"

Midoriya blinked, his eyes flickering to the IV and the lights, before looking back at Nezu.

"Yeah, you must be pretty bored in here. Don't worry about it, okay? You'll be back on your feet soon enough. Just rest up, okay? Your body needs energy to heal. Sorry I couldn't visit for so long." Nezu stuck his paw out to pat Midoriya's head. The green haired boy closed his eyes, and gently pressed his head against Nezu's paw.

Nezu ruffled Midoriya's mop of messy green hair, and Midoriya opened his eyes.

"Recovery Girl said that you'll be discharged in about a week... and the rest of your classmates will be moving into the dorms on that day as well." Nezu stated, and Midoriya blinked, frowning slightly.

Nezu rubbed the back of his head, "Don't worry about it. I've heard about Mineta; we've purposely added more rules in place to limit his behaviour. If he goes too far... then we'll deal with it."

Takeyama and Sakamata looked over to where Nezu was conversing with Midoriya, and the Killer Whale blinked, and whispered, "Midoriya's not talking or signing at all? How are they holding a conversation?"

Snipe shrugged, "Midoriya's never been one for talking. Some of the students are pretty good at reading Midoriya as well, though not to this extent... I guess it's just familiarity."

Nezu's phone vibrated, and the principal fished the device out of his pocket, and groaned, "Sorry, Izuku. The Hero Commission just scheduled another meeting. I need to go."

He reached out to pat Midoriya again, before turning to the door, "Take care of yourself, okay, Izuku?"

The green haired boy gave Nezu a tired nod, watching as the principal pulled open the door and walked out in frustration.

"Poor Nezu..." Snipe shook his head, "He's still blames himself for sending Midoriya for the camp."

"And the Hero Commission is constantly on his tail on pretty much everything." Sakamata sighed.

Yagi was discharged the very next day, though his right arm was still in a cast, and Nezu had called him, as well as Aizawa and Kan, to his office.

"Thank you, All Might." Nezu started, "For a long time, you've sacrificed your body and time to save thousands. As a citizen, a hero, and a principal, I cannot thank you enough. However... there are many that do not believe that you should continue as a teacher in UA, because they feel that everything that had happened was because you came to work here. "Now that he can't fight, won't the children be caught up again?" they say. Everyone's uneasy, that's why we must make the faith in heroes stronger for the very children who were affected, and the one that you passed the torch to. The threat is still there... and we must protect our future heroes with more strength than before. The dorms have been built for children who live very far from UA... but I feel we should implement that plan that we had in mind since the USJ incident." Nezu pushed a stack of consent forms towards the teachers, "Izuku and Shinsou are already staying here, and I'm counting on you to visit the other parents."

Aizawa grabbed the stack of papers, before looking up at Nezu, "Are you going to visit Midoriya in the hospital again?"

Nezu's ears drooped, grumbling, "Yeah. Once I finish this new stack of paperwork."

"Nezu... are you okay?" Yagi asked, looking as Nezu's tail twitched.

"It was my idea for... Izuku to go on the training camp... He was only there because I told him to go! If I had just considered the possibility that there was an info leak..." Nezu sighed.

"Nezu, you had his best interests at heart. None of us knew that the League would conduct a raid on the camp." Kan argued, "It wasn't like you wanted him to be kidnapped."

"You think that it's your fault, and you don't deserve to see him," Aizawa interjected, "But out of everyone, you're the one that he trusts the most; support can't do him any harm, especially if it's from you."

"I know that..." Nezu sighed, "Just... go deal with the parents first. I need some time to myself."

"That's not very rocking. Even if it didn't turn out to be anything serious, to announce that you're starting an all-dorm system like nothing happened after my only daughter was involved!" Kyotoku growled.

"What you're saying is quite right. However, we took another look at the pride and negligence that grew without us realising it, and thought about what we could do. Will you please leave it to us?" Aizawa asked, bowing slightly, "We will definitely raise Kyoka to be a fine hero."

"Ah? Aizawa-sensei, you don't have to bow! We already decided what to do after we got the notice in the mail." Jiro closed the door, two cups of tea in her hands, "When this old man saw All Might's fight, I heard him say "I can't believe my daughter's being taught by someone so rocking!", and then he cried."

"Kyoka! Stop! I'm trying to act like a strict dad!"

"Shut up, old man!"

"Stop it, you two. We're not at a loud rock concert!"

Jiro glared at her father, before turning to Aizawa and Yagi, "But... I do have to ask... how's Midoriya? The news didn't cover anything about him at all... is he okay? I heard from the others... that he single handedly defeated Muscular... and then taken by the League..."

"Wait, you didn't tell me about that!" Kyotoku stared at Jiro, but Jiro just huffed at her father, "I didn't even know about it until someone told me. I wasn't even anywhere near the fight at the time."

"I'm not supposed to say anything due to patient confidentiality, but I can say that he's recovering." Aizawa's face fell, as he continued, "The media has completely forgotten about him, for the time being, due to his quirklessness... and we're trying to keep everything about his condition under wraps to keep him safe."

Jiro hummed in agreement, before asking, "He'll be staying the dorms too, right, once he's discharged?"

Aizawa nodded, "He's been living in the dorms ever since... that incident. The dorm system was supposed to be optional, but given that so many things are going on right now, everyone had decided that the students would stay in the dorms, with a teacher, at all times."

Jiro nodded, "Midoriya's kept risking his life to protect us all... Just once... I would like to help protect him as well."

"Oh, sure! I'm counting on you!" Mitsuki grinned, smacking Bakugou in the head.

"Don't hit me, old lady! I'll kill you!"

"Shut up! Don't yell at me!" Mitsuku growled, smacking Bakugou on the head again, "You got captured, and had to be saved by the others, and resulted in that other kid getting kidnapped!"

"You two... stop it... You're startling the teachers..." Masaru tried to break up the incoming fight, only for Bakugou to yell back, "Shut up, old man! Don't butt in!"

"Katsuki, you're the one that should stop! If you're going to talk, then speak clearly!"

"Are you... sure it's okay?" Yagi asked.

"The dorms? Yeah, we'd be grateful, actually. Katsuki's reckless, and really good at everything, and he was blessed with a good quirk. He had people fawning over him all the way from preschool to middle school and made him like this. He's been taken down a notch ever since he got beaten by that quirkless kid at the Sports Festival, and he's mellowed out a lot since coming to UA, and we're grateful for that. You may face harsh criticism, but I trust you guys and will leave him to you."

Mitsuki pushed Bakugou's head down, before bowing, "He's a hard headed hopeless guy, but please train him hard and make him a good hero."

Bakugou pushed smacked Mitsuki's hand off him, "Sensei... I have to ask... how is Midoriya?"

Aizawa sighed; every student that he had visited so far had asked the same question.

"He's recovering; that's all I can say due to patient confidentiality." Aizawa stated. "I can't say anything more; we're trying to keep him as safe as possible, away from the media."

Bakugou relaxed slightly, "That's good. That nerd better recover properly so I can beat him fair and square."

"Katsuki, be polite!" Mitsuki growled, smacking Bakguou on the head again. It didn't take too long for them to finish up at the Bakugou household, and they exited the house.

"I was honestly expecting to face more criticism." Aizawa admitted, strolling back to the car.

"To be fair... If Nezu wasn't Midoriya's guardian, we'd probably have a huge problem on our hands." Yagi sighed, closing the door of the car behind him.

Aizawa grabbed his phone and unlocked it, before sighing, "Midoriya's trying to walk."

"But..." Yagi muttered, trying to find the right words, "He still needs to rest."

"That's the problem. He's too stubborn for his own good. To be fair, it is pretty boring sitting around and not doing anything." Aizawa grumbled, "I have my shift soon, you think you'll be okay finishing up the last few houses on your own?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine." Yagi nodded, "Go take care of Midoriya."

The lights in Midoriya's hospital room gradually grew brighter and brighter, to the point where Midoriya was perfectly fine with the regular brightness of the lights. His motor skills had also improved, though that was mainly because Midoriya was very stubborn and refused to stay in his own bed, leaving the nurses and heroes with no choice but to keep a constant eye on Midoriya because the kid just wouldn't keep still.

It had taken a few days for Midoriya to actually be able to walk around, though it did wear him out a lot quicker than they expected; he actually spent a lot more time sleeping. Pets weren't allowed in the hospital, but the first and last time that the nurses had tried to tell Midoriya that Reiko and Ryuto couldn't stay, Midoriya had hissed and glared at them.

Midoriya was actually a lot calmer during check-ups, the doctors realised, and Reiko and Ryuto didn't make a mess or kick up a fuss at all; the doctors just decided to ignore that rule all together when it came to Midoriya. Midoriya was also much more relaxed around the heroes; apparently, he trusted Reiko's judgement. If she thought that the heroes could be trusted, Midoriya would take her word for it.

The heroes were just happy that Reiko and Ryuto were also taking care of Midoriya. They couldn't stop Midoriya, since they were too small, but they did keep an eye on the boy, and alerting the heroes when Midoriya was about to lose his balance, since the second the heroes turned away from Midoriya, the boy would have gotten out of his bed and would be trying to walk around the room. Not to mention that Midoriya seemed to have a knack for moving around undetected; even Inui and Sakamata were trying to figure out how they never noticed Midoriya despite their enhanced senses, only noticing that Midoriya was out of his bed when he stumbled and knocked something over by accident.

He could also talk, albeit very softly, though he never spoke unless it was necessary. He did talk to Nezu, Reiko and Ryuto... but that was about it. He didn't even speak to his classmates when they visited, though Yaoyorozu, Shinsou, Uraraka, Iida and Todoroki didn't seem to mind too much.

The doctors had eventually deemed Midoriya well enough to be allowed to watch television, and the first thing that Midoriya did was to flick the device on, which happened to be playing a rerun of the Kamino fight between Yagi and All for One.

Nishiya, Aizawa, and Sakamata happened to be supervising Midoriya, and they stopped talking to watch the rerun.

Yagi practically deflated into his skinny form, and Nishiya remembered his own reaction upon watching it for himself; the complete shock and utter disbelief running through his veins as he questioned everyone.

Midoriya didn't seem too surprised, though, and continued watching as Yagi eventually overpowered All for One at the cost of his arm.

There was a knock on the door, and Tsukauchi poked his head in, "Uh... is this a good time?"

Midoriya turned to face the detective, and Sakamata asked, "Good time for what?"

"Questioning about... you know what." Tsukauchi sighed, "I don't think I should be conducting this so soon, but the Hero Commission is getting a little... pushy."

"What do you think, Midoriya? You think you can handle some questions?" Aizawa asked, and Midoriya looked away for a few seconds, before nodding.

"Can I ask you to step out for a second? It shouldn't take too long." Tsukauchi stated, stepping into the room. He grabbed a chair and pulled it over to Midoriya's bed, a notebook in hand, and Nishiya, Sakamata and Aizawa exited the room, closing the door behind them gently.

"Alright, can I ask you some simple questions?" Tsukauchi asked, and Midoriya nodded.

"What's your name?"

"Midoriya... Izuku."

Midoriya's words were soft, and he had to take some time between his words to figure out how to voice them, but he could speak. Tsukauchi was glad for that; his quirk didn't work with signing, and Midoriya was recovering.

"Age?"

"Fifteen."

"Okay... what was the last thing you remembered about the training camp?"

Midoriya frowned, "Gave collar... to Shinsou... Fighting... collapsed... Twice picked... me up... and portal."

It wasn't much, but Midoriya did have some recollection of the training camp. Now for the hard part.

"Alright... what do you remember after that?"

Midoriya's eyes glinted, and he looked up at Tsukauchi.

Tsukauchi had called a meeting between all the pro heroes who had participated in the Kamino Incident, save for Enji, all the UA teachers, the Pussycats, and a select few other heroes. While they didn't think it was necessary, they allowed Shinsou, Todoroki, and Iida to keep Midoriya company for around an hour. Yaoyorozu and Uraraka had to finish packing, since they were to move into the dorms the very next day, and couldn't come.

Aizawa tapped his foot impatiently, waiting for the meeting to start. First, the questioning with Midoriya had taken a really long time; the detective had said that it wouldn't take too long, and yet, Tsukauchi had spoke to the problem child for over an hour, before leaving the room in a hurry.

"Is everyone here?" Tsukauchi asked, "Great... then we can start."

"Are you okay, Naomasa? You seem... distressed." Yagi asked.

"I'm fine, Toshinori... but Midoriya isn't." Tsukauchi replied, settling down into his chair, "You remember those security feeds that I mentioned before?"

Some of the heroes nodded, and Tsukauchi continued, "We've managed to recover those feeds with the help of Power Loader and other members of our hacking team... they were feeds of Midoriya's prison. Shigaraki Tomura had been disintegrating him, Toga Himiko had been stabbing him, and Hikiishi Kenji, or Magne, she's also taken to using her quirk to slam Midoriya against electrified bars of his prison. The others... they didn't really hurt him, they just talked, though they did spend a lot less time with the boy than Shigaraki, Toga and Magne."

Nezu immediately snapped to attention, practically seething, "And they've been keeping an eye on him from the hideout?"

"Yes... but that isn't the most troubling thing at hand."

"What could be more troubling than that?" Tatsuma snarled, "They hurt him to the point where he should have died, and yet, Midoriya's acting way to normal to seem affected by what had happened... he probably doesn't even remember what they did to him!"

"That's where you're wrong." Tsukauchi clenched his fists. "I interrogated Midoriya yesterday."

"What happened during the questioning yesterday?" Sakamata asked, "It took a really long time for you to finish interrogating him."

Tsukauchi flipped open his notebook, "Midoriya's still having trouble with long sentences, but he did give me a lot of words for me to string together. This is exactly what he told me, uh, he had trouble saying Shigaraki so we agreed to shorten his name to Shiggy for the interrogation."

The detective looked down at his notebook.

"Woke up. Metal bars, a meter and a half away. Chained. Blindfold and muzzle. Shigaraki. Masked man. Open metal door. Touch forehead, read mind. Asked about taking quirk. Masked man moved away. Shigaraki disintegrated left shoulder. Rammed into Shiggy. Shiggy hit metal bars. Disintegrated left shoulder, and left. That's what he started off with, word for word."

Even without context, it was obvious that Midoriya was describing what happened, even though his throat made it impossible for him to form full coherent sentences. Short sentences and phrases were the best he could do.

"I honestly thought that he was imagining it... my quirk registered everything as truth, but there was no way that he could remember everything in so much detail..." Tsukauchi admitted, "Then I checked it against the security feeds. It matched what he said, exactly."

Tsukauchi pressed a button, and a video played, depicting the scene that Midoriya had just described. It was obvious that the masked man was All for One, but Midoriya did not have that knowledge at the time.

"That's not all he remembered." Tsukauchi continued, "He remembered everything."

"Everything?" Yamada asked in disbelief.

"Everything." Tsukauchi confirmed, "Every single detail, from who was first person of the day to torture him, to the layout of his prison. The metal bars, the dimensions of the room he was in, to even the placement of the security cameras."

Tsukauchi played another video, and they saw Midoriya bashing his head against the bars of his cell despite getting electrocuted, to the point where one bar was slightly dislodged. Something fell from the ceiling, almost hitting Midoriya on the head, but the green haired boy moved away in time, before continuing to throw himself against the bars again. Kurogiri appeared out of nowhere, somehow managing to stop Midoriya from bashing himself against the cell bars, before he teleported away. Midoriya, still blindfolded and muzzled, tilted his head slightly, before turning to his right, in the general direction of the security camera. He brought out his uncuffed left hand and even though the security feeds were fuzzy, it was obvious that his thumb was dislocated."

"He was testing the waters." Sakamata noted, "He dislocated his thumb to escape his cuffs, and deduced the location of the camera by checking if Kurogiri noticed that he was out of the cuffs. Smart."

Midoriya snapped his thumb back into place, before kicking what looked like a block of cement towards metal bars in the direction of the camera. He walked over to the bars, careful not to electrocute himself, before looking around. His movements slowed, and he paused, staring directly at the camera. He reached out, feeling for the bars, and flinched backwards when his fingers brushed against the cell bars, electrocuting him. Midoriya moved away from the cell bars, before moving his foot backwards. In one swift movement, he kicked the block of cement, and the cement flew through the bars of the cell, directly at the camera, before the feed turned black.

"He managed to figure out the exact location of the camera?" Takeyama gaped, "And managed to kick that cement block at it through the cell? And in that state?"

"Apparently so. Midoriya did sense that something was going to go wrong on the day when the League attacked." Chatora spoke up, "He's always had pretty sharp senses."

"Also... it seems like the League had also been played by Midoriya." Tsukauchi stated, as the heroes looked at him in confusion.

"Excuse me, care to explain?" Torino frowned.

"Midoriya had been analyzing the League the entire time while they had captured him." Tsukauchi said, "We know more about the League, their members and their quirks."

"Based on our research... we knew the names of the quirks of the villains... but we didn't know the details about them." Kamihara muttered, and Tsukauchi nodded, "But Midoriya... he figured them out, not just during his captivity but also while fighting against them. All of them, save for Toga Himiko, and we already know about Shigaraki and Kurogiri. Spinner's Gecko quirk gives him his reptilian appearance, and allows him to cling to walls and other surfaces. Dabi's quirk gives him the ability to create really hot fire. Magne's quirk allows her to polarise people, and males and females are of opposite poles. That's how she used Yaoyorozu to pull Aizawa away, and repelled Twice with Compress, and that giant weapon she carried? That's a magnet, and a powerful one at that."

"He managed to take note of all of that, while fighting?" Tensei muttered in amazement and disbelief.

"Twice can make two clones of other people, but he requires specific measurements in order to do so. The clones also retain the personalities of the actual person, as well as their quirk. He also has the ability to clone himself, theoretically being able to constantly generate more and more copies of himself infinitely, but he currently is unable to do so due to past trauma. Compress' quirk allowed him to very literally compress any into a small, spherical marble, and requires physical contact in order to do so. Not just people, but also other objects, and this process also reduces their weight. He can also compress himself to escape attacks, and apparently... his quirk factor lies in his hands, much like Shigaraki."

"That's why he aimed for the arms first." Kamihara mused, "When he fought Shigaraki and Compress... one of the first things he did was to snap their wrists."

"We already know about Shigaraki and Kurogiri's quirks... the only one we don't have much on is Toga." Tsukauchi finished.

"But we still haven't figured out why they wanted to kidnap him in the first place. They specifically called him a priority target." Kan muttered.

"Midoriya figured that out as well. They wanted to him to lose trust in heroes, and use that to break our society. Midoriya is a pretty prominent figure; being the only other general education student besides Aizawa to win the UA Sports Festival, and he also suffered the brunt of the damage during the USJ attack." Tsukauchi replied, "Midoriya...he constantly fought back at first, before gradually pretending to give up. He appeared to have given in, and even managed to fool Shigaraki; according to you guys, Shigaraki was surprised when Midoriya fought back when you rescued him. He pretended to break, he played the victim while in the League's clutches, but he had been using all that time to silently analyze the villains."

"But how is he still... sane? How can he continue making such rational choices despite... all that?" Kayama asked worriedly, "Is that even the right word? We saw his injuries... they practically killed him. And he remembered everything they did to him... How is he still acting so normal? He doesn't even seem affected, doesn't even seem to care about the fact that he almost died."

"Because he was the only one that was really hurt." Aizawa growled, "Midoriya cares more about other people than he does about himself... and he thinks very logically. He disregards his personal feelings in favour of rational decision making. He probably thinks that being affected by this, that trauma wouldn't help the situation at all, and is ignoring all the pain that he feels."

"Midoriya is actually much more affected by this than he lets on. He hides all his emotions and feelings, and doesn't let anyone see his pain." Inui shook his head, "Nezu... you're the only one out of all of us that he's willing to talk to. Can you speak to him about this?"

Nezu shook his head, "I'm not going to press. Izuku may talk to me, but that doesn't mean that he's willing to talk about what happened. He'll speak when he's ready; forcing him to talk when he doesn't want to isn't going to help with his trust issues. And as much as I hate to admit it, this is something that Izuku is least likely going to talk to me about. He knows that I care about him... and all the more he isn't going to "bother" me with something that he considers trivial."

Tatsuma sighed, "He's bottling everything up. One day, he's going to break for real. He needs more emotional support."

"That's not the point." Tsukauchi growled, "The villains didn't succeed, but we still failed. Midoriya has never trusted us from the very start; the League couldn't break his trust in heroes because it never existed in the first place. And it's very clear that the only reason why he can even sleep and rest properly around us is because he trusts Reiko's judgement."

"First... we should let Midoriya recover fully." Nezu stated. "Give him time and space, let him think things through. Letting him know that he can trust us, that we will wait for him, that's the most important course of action right now. We just have to be patient, and wait."
