Chapter 2: Times Like These

_Izuku's POV_

"So, this is Ireland?" Ranger asked with an unimpressed look.

"Why do you ask?" Izuku asked, slightly offended.

"Look, I know this is your home, but I expected more…" Ranger began.

"More what?" Izuku asked.

"More green." Ranger began to explain, "In the movies Ireland was always shown as pubs and lush farmland as far as the eye could see."

"That's just the movies." Izuku began to explain, "We should get to UA soon. Nezu wants you to stay at Heights Alliance during the search and setup of the new base."

"Anything I should know beforehand?" Ranger asked.

"Just that Nezu probably only told the staff we were coming." Izuku explained while watching Ranger light a cigarette.

"PUT THAT OUT!" a random person yelled at Ranger, "YOU KNOW CHILDREN BREATH THAT AIR!"

"FUCK OFF!" Ranger yelled as he and Izuku began to make their way to UA.

_Tsuyu's POV_

To say the last three months had been hard for Tsuyu would be an understatement. Sure she had her classmates and Eri, but something was missing, or rather someone. She missed Izuku with all her heart and was excited when he made contact with UA, from San Francisco. He was stuck there because he had no identification on him when found, or a working cell phone. Even though he would call regularly, it wasn't the same as being in the same room with him or him holding her in his arms. Unfortunately one classmate wasn't so nice about the whole thing.

"I keep telling you all. He's not coming back." Mineta said to the shock and anger of everyone, "I mean, he didn't even have a quirk. Why would he even be welcome anywhere?"

"Cause he is more heroic than you could ever be." Jiro said to the purple midget with quiet fury.

"He even defeated a leader of the IRA." Momo pointed out.

"So. Adolf Hitler was a published author, but no one talks about his accomplishments when compared to the bigger picture." Mineta started before being interupted by Jiro, now in a state called "Beyond Pissed".

"DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE HIM TO HITLER!" Jiro yelled at the grapist.

"Why would you even make that comparison?" Iida asked in shock.

"Cause it's true." Mineta began with a smug smirk, "Cause even their biggest accomplishments will be overshadowed by the simple facts. Hitler commited mass genocide and Midoriya is completely worthless."

"Can I kill this guy?" all the inhabitants of the common room looked towards the new voice in the room, "Cause he just tried to use Hitler to plead his case."

"You can't kill him Ranger." an all too familiar voice began to explain, "You can hurt him however."

"That sounds more fun." the newly identified Ranger replied before pulling out a knife and chasing the grapist out of the room.

"Did you miss me?" Izuku asked everyone left in the room.

"Midoriya?" Iida began, "You look like…"

"Like Dave Grohl." Jiro finished.

"Someone gets it." Izuku said while gesturing to Jiro.

"Are you really here?" Tsuyu asked in shock.

"I'm really here." Izuku said while taking Tsuyu's hand, "And I'm here for good."

At this point Ranger came back dragging a hog-tied Mineta behind him before dumping him on a table.

"What I miss?" Ranger asked, causing everyone's focus to get directed at him.

"Who are you?" Momo asked.

"As you heard my friend say earlier, I'm Ranger and for the time being, your new housemate." Ranger explained.

"Why are you here?" Iida began, "Only teachers and students can stay in the dorms."

"Your principal hired me as the new quirkless combat teacher." Ranger explained, "And to save time and resources he made me the new dorm RA for your class."

"Why does Izuku look like Dave Grohl?" Jiro asked.

"For starters, the hair is just a lack of a haircut for the last three months." Ranger began explaining Izuku's appearance, "As for the beard, that's because two months ago on one of our missions, he got a pretty bad cut on his upper lip and chin so he grew the beard out to cover the scars."

"It's true." Izuku said, still holding Tsuyu's hand, "Some chinese woman with fingernail knives got me."

"Could have been worse." Ranger reminded him.

"How?" Izuku asked.

"Could have gotten the eyes." Ranger pointed out.

"True!" Izuku replied.

"So, what's his quirk exactly?" Momo asked.

"You could have asked me directly." Ranger began, "My quirk is called Unsainted. The more angry I get, the more powerful I get."

"Sounds useful." Iida pointed out.

"Wish my family saw it that way." Ranger said with a sad look before changing to a positive one, "But that's a story for another day. Can anyone tell me where I can get set up?"

Sure, I'll show you to one of the empty rooms." Jiro said while escorting Ranger to his room.

"I'm going to put my stuff in my room." Izuku said to the group before getting stopped by Tsuyu.

"No one has been in your room in three months so it's not that clean." Tsuyu explained, "So you might want to set up in my room for now."

"Got it, besides, I would rather see Eri first." Izuku said to his girlfriend.

_Ranger's POV_

"So, this is my room then?" Ranger asked the girl with what looked like earphone jacks hanging from her ears.

"Be lucky you are not next to Mineta." Jiro deadpanned.

"And that is?" Ranger asked.

"The midget with balls on his head." Jiro pointed out.

"Right, the one who loved Hitler." Ranger replied, causing the punk to start laughing.

"He also thinks Limp Bizkit is the greatest rock band of all time." Jiro said, causing Ranger to gain a look of disgust.

"Of all the people I've met who think that, he is the only one who wasn't huffing spray paint." Ranger pointed out.

"Is that a common thing in America?" Jiro asked with a confused look.

"Only in Alabama." Ranger answered, "If you lived in a state whose college football team named themselves after a euphemism for a woman's period then you'd want to be high as balls to."

"Your kidding, right?" Jiro asked.

"I'm afraid not." Ranger began explaining, "Their college team is called the Alabama Crimson Tide."

"The fuck is up with Americans?" Jiro asked in shock.

"Let's see there's the anti-vaxxers, meninists, incells, republicans, democrats, basically all politicians and the fact we have nazis again and there comfortable wearing their swastikas in broad daylight. It's times like these I'm glad I left America." Ranger explained to Jiro, who had gone pale white at all this information.

"Is that why you came with Izuku?" Jiro asked, still pale white.

"Partially. I also have to oversee a branch of my group here and hunt down that new Firefly cult." Ranger explained.

"Aizawa told us about them. Said there trying to create some "New World Order" or something like that." Jiro explained to the American.

"Yeah, that's them. Anything fun to do here when not doing school stuff?" Ranger asked.

Authors Note: Times Like These - Foo Fighters. The reunion between Izuku and 1-A….Partially. Also Ranger is a POV character in this story, same as Tsuyu. BTW all those things about America are true. As an American myself, I didn't intend any political rants, I just wanted to make some political jokes. I also wanted to make Mineta as un-likable as possible.
