"Why was I not allowed to explain anything?", Trace said to Nezu, anger still in his voice. "I had a note to give him but he didn't want that nor did he want my opinion, cause he assumed i would make something up to bail my friends, but that paper was important". Trace was stopped by a hand on his shoulder, he turned to see All Might standing there.

"It seems a lot of emotion has built up within you young Wilqs, should we be concerned", All Might asked, worriedly.

"If there is, then you should inform us immediately, after all, the students are our top priority", Nezu said calmly.

Trace slumped in his chair, sorrow filling his body. "Sorry, it's just been a really shitty few days", Trace said meekly.

"So what did happen in the classroom", All Might asked.

Trace took a breath, preparing to tell the story again to All Might.

"Mina, Todoroki, And Iida, took me to the hospital, after that we rushed back to make it to class, we had walked through the doors when Aizawa wanted us to explain our absence, I raised a hand to speak but he said i wasn't allowed to speak, Trace took a stress ball on the table and Threw it against the wall with a thud before yelling, "HE BASICALLY BRUSHED ME OFF BEFORE I COULD EXPLAIN ANYTHING THINKING I WOULD LIE". Trace sat down and clutched his head in his hands. He began to sob. His Anxiety was going through the roof. He started looking at his wrist, pondering if he should use the bracelets or not.

"What are you staring at?", Nezu said, concerned.

Trace immediately looked away before saying, "My inhibitors".

"Inhibitors?", Nezu asked, confused.

Trace looked at his wrists again, "Doctors orders,"Trace began," they are suppose to restrain how much power my emotions can give me so I don't go supernova in a situation that doesn't involve a life-threatening situation, But if I click this green button, they release a chemical into my body to reduce my anxiety levels down, thus equalizing my emotions, im suppose to use it whenever my anxiety spikes up this badly, right now they only reduce anxiety".

"Then why not use it now Trace?", All Might Questioned.

"Because it didn't work", was all he said.

"Care to elaborate", Nezu asked, hands folded in front of himself.

"Despite using the chemical, I still lost my temper and lashed out at Aizawa for standing by as one of his students was on a knee, barely able to breath".

"I see", Nezu said calmly, then continued. "When are you supposed to use the chemical", Nezu asked innocently.

"Whenever my anxiety spikes up to the point I was at when I screamed about Aizawa", Trace said honestly.

"I would use it now then to try to calm yourself", Nezu began, "Did the doctor say to do anything else".

"He wanted me to bring the bracelets to Mei Hatsume to further reduce my power output through my emotions", Trace said, claiming as the chemical rushed through his body.

"Mei Hatsume", Nezu asked to ensure he heard right.

"Yeah?", Trace said confused.

"Mei Hatsume is in our support class, she works tirelessly on gadgets for heroes to use out in the field", Nezu grabbed a device out of his drawer to give an example. A small machine with a single button on it. "While this doesn't look like much, it actually has the power to silence anyone within 10 feet of the device unless calibrated to purposely avoid you".

"I should probably get ready for my next class, it will be starting in 4 minutes", Trace said looking at the clock.

"Nonsense", Nezu said cheerfully, "Your mental health comes first, go see Hatsume, I can inform Midnight of your condition and explain the doctors orders to her".

"Thank you Nezu", Trace said before exiting the room.

(10 minutes later)

"Hey Ten Million", Mei said, seeing Trace walk through the support class doors.

"Apologies but my name is Trace, not Ten Million", trace said, chuckling.at the new nickname.

"Oh right, sorry", Mei said bashfully.

"No problem, to be honest, I might just have you call me ten million, it's actually kinda funny", Trace said smiling.

Mei's eyes lit up at that. "So what did you need Ten Million".

In response, Trace removed the bracelets on his wrists, and handed them to Mei. "Doctors told me to start wearing these wristbands, they currently release a chemical into my body to reduce my anxiety and in turn, my negative emotions, the chemical isn't bad for my body by the way, anyway, The Doctor wanted me to bring these to you to see if we can make them reduce how much power I can draw from with my emotions, this way I don't blow the roof off the building unintentionally", Trace explained.

After a few minutes Mei nodded her head, "Give me about 5 minutes and I can get that done", Mei said excitedly.

"Thank you", was all Trace said in response.

After about 5 minutes, Mei handed Trace the wristbands, excitement written on her face.

"Okay, if these are working properly you should be able to get angry without being able to access your max power", Mei began, "If you come with me we can test to ensure they were successful".

Trace simply nodded before saying, "where to".

Mei simply gestured for Trace to follow her, guiding him to the training area in the support class. Once there, Mei gestured to a dummy before saying, "launch a punch wearing the wristbands".

"Unfortunately, it's not that easy", Trace said.

Mei was about to question him when she remembered. "Oh right, emotion based", Mei said, gently smacking herself upside the head.

Trace began thinking of the darkest of times, when he was a cutting board for that girl. His eyes flashed with rage as he fired a punch into the dummy. The dummy went backwards but not by too much, maybe about 5-6 feet. There was a little wind behind the punch, but no energy was seeping from his body. Trace smiled before turning to Mei. "Thank you so much Hatsume", Trace said, bowing his head to her.

Mei simply dusted off her hands saying, "another day, another success, glad I could help, oh yeah, if you want to fight at full power, just say "release inhibitors", to remove the restraining power for one hour".

With that, Trace said a goodbye before heading toward the exit.

"Oh yeah, Trace", Mei quickly said to catch the boy before he left the room.

Trace turned quickly, "Yeah?".

"You never explained your quirk to me", Mei said.

"I'll admit, I'm quite curious myself".

Both kids turned to look at the door to see the hero/teacher "Power Loader", enter the room.

"I saw you at the festival and couldn't pinpoint it".

Trace walked up to the two before starting his lecture about his quirks. After about a half-hour he had finished explaining to them everything about his quirks. They both just stood there wide-eyed.

"Truly amazing Trace", Power Loader began, "I mean, I knew you were powerful but wow".

Mei simply nodded.

"Thank you sir, now I need to get to class before the teachers chew me out", Trace said heading to the door. He said his goodbyes before shutting the door behind him. Once the door was shut, he sighed in relief that his quirk wouldn't kill someone so long as he had the bracelets on.

"There you are Trace", a familiar voice said.

Trace turned to his left to see Mina out of breath.

"Where have you been Trace", Sarcasm in her voice but also worry.

"The doctor had told me to take these inhibitors to Mei Hatsume, the girl on our calvary battle team, and wanted me to ask her to make these inhibitors reduce my power when in a negative emotion, that way, I don't accidently supernova in a non-threatening situation", trace explained.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack Trace", Mina said, wrapping her arms around him.

Trace returned her embrace, Joy overtaking him. "Nice to know others care", he said calmly.

"Of course we care Trace", Mina started, bringing Trace's eyes to meet her own, "We care so much, not just me, but all of class 1-a cares about you", Mina hugged him close, basking in his warmth.

"As much as I want to just sit here and enjoy your warmth, we need to get to class, baby", Trace said holding up a stopwatch.

Mina gave him a peck on the cheek before separating. "Yeah, you're right", she said.

They both began walking back, fingers intertwined together. Trace couldn't have asked for anything more than what he has received in the past few days. He showed the world he could be a hero, He showed the world he would fight for those he cared about no matter how badly injured he was, He had friends who truly support him… He has a girlfriend who truly feels affection toward him as well. He smiled, thinking about all this.

"What did I do to deserve all the good I have gotten", Trace said joyfully, tears in his eyes.

"Let's see", Mina said counting on her fingers, "you saved my life not once but twice, you helped Todoroki overcome his issues with his father and even convinced his father to change, you managed to fully become one with Djinn, and to top it all off, you went through so much crap, but was still the kindest, most caring, loving young man… So I'd say you deserve the good you're receiving", Mina said hugging Trace closely.

By the time they returned to class, there was 10 minutes left.

Midnight gestured for them to leave the room, Midnight following soon after. Once outside the room, Midnight shut the door and turned to the two students.

"So, what took so long", Midnight said smiling.

"The principal allowed me to head to the support class so they could make my wristbands restrain my power output, which itself took about 10 minutes, plus the walk is 10 minutes to return", Trace said holding up his arms to show the wristbands.

"Good answer Trace but what was your excuse Mina", She said, pointing to Mina.

"Well, you see…", Mina began blushing heavily, rubbing her left arm shyly.

"She came to make sure I was alright as I had an outburst in Mr.Aizawa's class", Trace said, speaking up for her.

"That in itself should have only taken a few minutes", Midnight said, crossing her arms.

"Well you see, nezu told me he went to the support class, but i didn't know where the support class was", Mina said tapping her fingers together.

Midnight began laughing, "Yeah, that makes sense, okay you're good, but if I may ask", Midnight said in a low voice, "what was the outburst about Trace".

Trace's eyes began glowing a faint yellow, "I have a condition that causes the levels of anxiety in my body to naturally be radically high which causes my emotions to be stronger, so when Aizawa was chewing me out for facing endeavor, I began having a panic attack, which he brushed off as me faking", Trace said, trying to restrain himself, "He brushed off my condition as me faking, not even bothering to take the note I tried to give him". Trace began taking deep breaths. "I apologize Midnight but I don't want to get another panic attack, so I wish to stop speaking on this topic".

Midnight seeing his pain, dropped it. "Alright then, luckily, you had a free period as second period so you didn't miss anything, so head back in for the last 5 minutes". Midnight motioned to the door.

Trace and Mina walked in and took their seats, oblivious to the many eyes staring at Trace. They heard everything that was discussed right outside the room. Trace didn't want anyone to worry about him, but now the whole class was worried, except for Mineta who began formulating a plan to get even with Trace, his condition was exactly what Mineta was looking for. The bell rang signaling the end of school, everyone began walking out of class. Trace collected his things and walked out the door. He got to the courtyard when he was grabbed by Aoyama, and brought to the other classmates.

"What's going on here", Trace asked confused.

"Why didn't you tell us about your condition Trace", Tsuyu said bluntly.

Trace scanned the crowd, Mina, Iida, and Todoroki were nowhere to be seen. Trace began silently hoping they would show up. He preemptively pressed the buttons on his wristbands, he felt he would need that boost.

"I don't want others to worry about me", Trace said, trying to defend himself.

"We are a family", Toru began, "We look out for one another, you should have told us so we could help".

"I didn't want people to waste their time trying to help me, I didn't want to be a burden", Trace said, head hung low.

"Forget that, you couldn't be a burden if you tried", Kaminari said, beaming with electricity.

"We are a team, we are supposed to have eachothers backs", Sato said, holding a sugar cube in his hand.

"We look out for one another, that is the way of class 1-a", Fumikage said, smirking.

One after another, they threw confidence at Trace who was frozen by their accepting of him.

"How can you accept me so easily", Trace said, tears in his eyes, "I've killed people".

"No", Ojiro began, "the shadow has killed people, and you've tamed the beast within anyway so it wouldn't happen again".

Ochako was next to speak, "You are part of our team Trace, we care about you".

"What's going on over here", Iida asked confused.

"We were just talking about Trace's amazing feats over the past few days", Toru spoke up immediately.

"He wasn't being interrogated about his condition, was he?'', Todoroki said, coming around the corner.

Everyone fell silent.

"Well", Todoroki said, slightly annoyed, "did anyone berate him for anything".

Toru spoke up. "I was upset he didn't tell us but that was about it".

"I see", Todoroki turned to Trace, "How are you holding up Trace".

Mina had already grabbed onto Trace, wrapping him in her warmth. "I'm okay", was all Trace said.

"How are we just overlooking the fact that he's a killer", Mineta said, seeing his moment.

Everyone turned to Mineta in surprise. "He has hurt and maimed so many people and now he suddenly wants to join UA to be a hero", Mineta looked at Trace with Hatred. "How do we know you aren't here to kill us when we least expect it".

Trace was taken aback before realizing. He smiled. "You're pissed I didn't give you details about me and Mina aren't you", Trace said calmly. "Well I got news for you Mineta, my relations are my business, I don't have to tell you about my relationships, and I don't have to tell you anything about my personal life Mineta… So stop trying to get it out of me". Trace's eyes were faintly yellow at this point.

Mineta grabbed a ball off his head and threw it at Trace, aiming for his eyes again. A block of ice stopped that plan cold.

"That's enough Mineta", Todoroki said, no empathy present.

Mineta grumbled something before walking away.

By then, Trace was on a knee, clutching his heart.

"TRACE", Mina immediately crouched down, Trace's arm over her shoulder. He couldn't move.

He attempted to speak but it was almost incoherent. "Green.. U...on".

Mina looked at his bracelets to see a green button. She pressed the button on both wristbands, releasing the chemical into Trace for like the 5-6 time today.

After a few minutes, Trace's breathing stabilized, he slowly stood to his feet, arm still slung over Mina.

"Thank you", was all Trace could squeeze out of himself.

"Here", Mina began, helping Trace get to his feet, "Let me take you home, so you can sit down and relax".

The others nodded in agreement as Mina helped Trace across the street to his house. Once to the door, Trace pulled the key from his pocket and shakily opened his door. Once inside, Mina took him to his couch and sat him down. Trace put his arm over the armrest and turned his head to find Mina.

The house was small, 4 rooms. A kitchen, living room, restroom, and bedroom.

"Thank you so much Mina", Trace began, "I couldn't move, Mineta…", he froze at that name.

"Don't worry about it", Mina said, anger slowly filling her voice, "Mineta stepped way out of line today, I intend to give the pipsqueak a lesson Monday".

"He pushed his luck today", Trace said, sharing her anger.

"Why does he have it out for you anyway", Mina asked, sitting on the couch next to trace.

"After I had left the nurse's office from the USJ attack, Mineta had started asking some pretty inappropriate questions, "Trace was controlling his rage quite well at the time, "he had asked if we had… done things", Trace blushed a little when he said that.

Mina began turning a shade of purple. "He seems to think everyone is just going around wanting to do the do", Mina said angrily.

"When he continued asking, I yelled at him to stop, and told him not everyone is like him". Trace had begun to move his hand to his head, but decided against it. "Mineta's probably gonna become an issue", Trace said jokingly.

"He tries anything, I'll give him some acid burns", Mina said holding her hand out.

Trace chuckled at her response, but mostly from picturing Mineta covered in a weak but painful acid.

"Thanks for your help today Mina, a lot could have gone wrong if you hadn't found me when you did", Trace wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer to him.

Mina returned the gesture by snuggling into him, purring slightly at his warmth. "It really was no biggie Trace, you're my boyfriend after all". Mina winked at Trace, causing him to begin blushing heavily, but was still smiling.

They both began snuggling further into each other, enjoying the other's warmth. It was as if nothing else mattered. They could have sat there together for hours had it not been for a call from Mina's phone. She picked it up and answered to a distressed Mr.Ashido.

"Where are you honey, you nearly gave your old man a heart attack", Mr.Ashido though trying to hide it he was chuckling.

"Oh crap, sorry Dad, Trace had been taken to the hospital, he was released a few hours ago but I helped him home after school, I didn't want to leave him alone", Mina said blushing.

"Is Trace okay honey", Mr.Ashido asked.

"Oh he feels great, turns out he has a condition that makes his anxiety levels naturally high, so the doctor's prescribed some medication to lessen his anxiety", Mina said with a bubbly personality.

"Good to know he's okay right now, now you should probably start making your way home dear", Mr.Ashido began, "I know you're probably hanging out, but mother is worried about you".

"Okay, I'll start making my way there, I should be back by 7-8", Mina said.

"See you soon sweetie, love you"

"See ya soon dad, love you". Mina hung up the phone and turned to Trace who was smiling.

"Welp, I gotta get going Trace, Can't wait to see you tomorrow", Mina said, grabbing her bag.

Before she could exit the door, Trace wrapped his arms around her waist before playfully snuggling into her shoulder. "I love you so much Mina, and thank you for saving me", Trace was so joyful.

Mina began blushing heavily as she returned his embrace. "We're Boyfriend Girlfriend so we look out for each other, so it's no biggie, I love you trace".

"I love you Mina", Trace said happily.

With that Mina exited the house and began making her way home. This was the happiest Trace had been in years. He felt like the luckiest man alive. He truly just needed time for repairs.
