"Helping Midoriya"
.

.
The faces of both boys looked with concern seated in their eyes, their gestures of immense anger were mutated to a state of intense panic. A panic that neither of them could imagine.
A help message could mean anything, but if it came from Midoriya, it was serious. The freckled boy was in real danger.
Todoroki watched with dread the cell phone where the help message came, with no information, more than those simple words that denoted a great weight in them, because if that implied that Midoriya was in danger, it could be the situation or the villain with whom he would probably be facing, imagining the exact point where Midoriya surely struggled to survive. Memories of the confrontation against Stain invaded his head.
"We must call the others." He could say, pulling Bakugou out of his thoughts, who upon hearing him looked at him in a mixture of fear and guilt.
"What makes you think we need help?" He muttered restlessly.
Todoroki stood still, surprised at the explosive boy's behavior, if a few seconds ago he looked like an unleashed beast.
Why now that Midoriya had sent them a message of help, he was anxious to such an extent that it was notorious in front of him?
What exactly happened to him?
"Bakugou?" He wanted to calm his tone.
"I'm fine" He snapped, even though guilt was visible on his face. "What are you waiting for? Call if you want, we have to help the nerd"
"Yes." He made the calls, in which the two of them ran away from there. "We will send an alert to the school, we need help from the professionals"
"Whatever" He murmured, following him.
"If you are indisposed to"
"Shut up!" He interrupted in a snort. "I'm perfect"
"It doesn't seem like it" He denied. "I'm worried about Midoriya too" He commented to comfort that face of fear that Bakugou carried. A fear that he knew he would never admit, being the proud man he was, would not provide words that would relieve his current state.
Their fight was intense, they told themselves the things that had been saved, they were beaten, they threw themselves down the street, but above all, they admitted their love for Midoriya in tow of everything.
Arriving at school, they were interrogated by Professor Aizawa, who looked surprised to see them both arrive at school during the holiday period. They let him know about the message of help from Midoriya and that they asked others for help in case they wanted to support them.
"I see…" It was Professor Aizawa's stoic words, and with his sleepy face, he didn't hesitate to recruit teachers who hadn't gone on vacation. "The only condition that I impose on you is that you need to put on your costumes if you want to come" He notified them by becoming serious. "Because you are students, but more than anything, future heroes, and if we will make an intervention to support a hero who is only asking for help, we will give it to you "
They nodded and went to put on their suits.
The others soon arrived, and then they went to put on their costumes, quite willing to go to help the most beloved roommate.
Kirishima went to Bakugou's side, looking at him not quite convinced with his quiet behavior; in the same way, for him it was very rare that Bakugou did not emit any word since they arrived at the school.
It was not normal for someone as loud as him.
Perhaps it was affecting him more than anyone in the group, and it may be because of what he did on the occasion of the previous day, but also because he assumed that the feelings he had for Midoriya were such that they far exceeded his own.
When he had put on his suit, Uraraka and Iida approached him with a worried gesture.
"Deku spoke to you?" Uraraka said with panic clearly reflected on her face. He just nodded, stoic. "But what exactly happened?"
"Yes, what happened?" Iida burst.
"I don't know." He flinched to say, helpless to have all the answers to his questions, but he didn't even have the answers to his own.
His vain response did not seem to satisfy them at all, but what else could Todoroki do if he didn't know the rest of the situation?
Kirishima approached them along with Kaminari, Sero and Bakugou, who was behind them with the dry gesture of everything.
Todoroki raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
"What about Midoriya?" Kirishima questioned.
"We don't know the situation," Iida intervened in righteousness. "We don't know exactly what happened, or if Midoriya is still in danger"
"How can you not know?" Exclaimed Kirishima, dismayed. "You recruited us for something"
"Calmed bro" Kaminari reached in, putting a hand on Kirishima's shoulder.
"It's that Midoriya is so helpless" Kirishima replied, waving his hands of helplessness. "Leaving him alone is cruel!"
"I know," Uraraka shrieked desperately.
Before Todoroki said anything about it, his cell phone rang from his suit pants; his face froze at the sight of the person who called him: Midoriya.
"Who is it?" They all chanted in tune.
"Midoriya" He admitted, opening the orbs of his eyes in disbelief.
"What are you waiting for? Answer!" Iida shouted.
He answered the call, feeling a lump in his throat eating him beforehand.
"Midoriya!"
"Ah." He heard him sigh in relief. "Todoroki-kun, where are you?"
"At school" He replied. "Where are you? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine" He spoke quickly, his voice shaking. "I was out of danger, the one who didn't leave unharmed was my mother, they hurt her"
"How?" He released in fright.
"I-I'm going to school!" He concluded almost screaming.
"But"
"I hope Recovery girl helps my mother." He was desperate, but he was trying her best not to scream and cry at the same time. "I'll be there soon." He heard Midoriya's mother cry, just when he said that, ending up hanging up the call in a loud way.
Todoroki was stunned, being watched by his friends and Bakugou's gaze from which he expressed intensity.
"Midoriya is fine" He spoke seriously. "He is on his way here."
"What?" irishima snapped. "So does that mean he's okay?"
"What a relief!" Uraraka sighed, lowering her chest with a hand placed on it.
"But they hurt his mother" He added.
"How?!" Iida exclaimed.
"Midoriya will be shattered" Kaminari said, rubbing his forehead in distress.
Bakugou made a gesture of despair, wielding his hands tightly, breathing frequently.
And as if the universe were in tune with his mood, it began to rain like a pitcher. Raindrops crowding on the windows, making water paths like small streams in the tempered glass; Some of the cold could enter from the small open windows, conditioning the waiting room, where everyone waited impatiently for Midoriya's arrival.
Todoroki walked from one end of the room to the other, almost obsessively thinking about what happened to Midoriya. Who was the villain who dared to attack him and his mother, when he was not fit for a confrontation?
Someone very cunning.
Someone clever and clever enough to know that the curly-haired boy was sad, that is, vulnerable to attacks, negative thoughts, neglect of his person, etc.
Whoever that villain was, he knew that Midoriya was weak, suffering.
The door swung open twenty minutes after he spoke with Midoriya, revealing an exhausted Midoriya, with a cut in the forehead, where a path of blood ran down his right side of the face. He carried his mother with extreme care, sensing the will of his character by protecting his mother.
"Midoriya!" They shouted in unison.
The aforementioned, breathed through the mouth.
"Take me with Recovery girl!" He asked agitatedly. "My mother… my mother is hurt!" He expressed devastated.
Midoriya's mother looked pale, with a wound in her belly, since blood flowed abundantly from there; she clung to her son's chest, sobbing in pain and despair of staying by his side.
"Please help me" He pleaded, staggering.
The largest in room 1A brought a stretcher, where Midoriya deposited his mother carefully, firmly taking his hand in his hands.
"You'll be fine" He said on an exhale.
"Izu-Izuku," his mother muttered weakly, nodding with a hopeful smile.
Todoroki approached Midoriya, as did his two friends, being supportive figures for the poor hero apprentice, who kept on suffering tragedies in a row.
"Todoroki," Midoriya called, telling him to accompany him. He agreed, notifying Iida and Uraraka to stay waiting in the waiting room, because Midoriya wanted to tell him some previous things.
Once, taking his mother to the Recovery Girl clinic, and having Midoriya take his mother's hand in his, assuring her that she will be fine, no matter what happened.
"Izuku" His mother nodded, before falling asleep from anesthesia.
"When you wake up, it will all be over" Midoriya declared, trying to keep calm. He squeezed his mother's hand and with a tarnished look of tears accumulated in his eyes, he gave himself solemnly to tears, collapsing on the floor, falling to his knees, hiding his face with both hands.
"Midoriya." Todoroki leaned to his side, circling his arm until he settled his head on his chest. "Will you tell me what happened?" He nodded trembling. "First, you need to heal the wound on your forehead, it could get infected." Midoriya put a hand on his mouth, shutting it. He opened his eyes in surprise.
Todoroki frowned, confused.
"It's just a scratch" He said, breathing deeply and deeply. "I-I don't need to heal myself." He took his hand from his mouth, taking it away to wipe the tears that fell like soft caresses over his cheeks, running down the boy's pink cheekbones.
"Midoriya, please explain to me what happened." Todoroki asked kindly, feeling helpless because he couldn't have been helpful; adding that the feeling of seeing him endure everything alone was unsustainable.
Midoriya took a deep breath, placing a hand on his chest, closing his eyes.
"When I got home" He started slowly. "I greeted my mother, then I went to the bathroom, but when I went there when I opened the zinc handle" He demonstrated to open the key handle. "A noise was heard, very similar to that to an earthquake, only that in this case it was not an earthquake, but a viscous zinc monster came out" His teary eyes widened in terror, his little body trembled elusive, and he attached himself to his chest in instinct of wanting to be protected his part. "He attacked me first, but then I dodged him around the room, I yelled at my mother to leave the house, however, she wanted to stay by my side" His eyes crystallized, although this time, they didn't burst into tears. "She protected me from dying the moment I distracted myself by telling her to run away, she pushed me and… and… "He choked, releasing a sob drowned from his throat. "She got the blow by my fault!" Midoriya hugged him, hiding his face in his chest; his entire body vibrating.
"It's not your fault"
"Yes, it is." He denied it regretfully. "If only I hadn't been distracted, none of this would have happened."
"Midoriya, things happen for a reason" Todoroki advised, stroking his hair between his fingers. "Your mother will definitely be fine."
"I know I could have done more!" He said guilty, shaking his head from his chest, tightening his firm grip, to this Todoroki returned the gesture with greater force, enjoying the closeness of Midoriya's body.
"Don't blame yourself" He said almost in a whisper. "It's over"
That said, Midoriya slowly walked away from the hug they shared, and wiping away the tears with the backs of his hands, breathing shortly, regaining his calm breath.
Soon after he calmed down, a change in Midoriya's expression sent him a chill running through his entire spine.
That expression meant that Midoriya was putting together a plan, a plan that, for better or worse, was putting it together.
"You're not planning a revenge, are you?" He asked with dread, thinking the worst.
"What?" He looked up. "No!" He said as he asked the question he asked.
"It's not good for you to machine so many things at once" He advised, nailing both hands on his shoulders, pressing a little. "You just saw your wounded mother, Bakugou broke your heart, you're not fit for a confrontation, Midoriya"
"I know," he nodded. The gleam of his eyes began to stir, and that was not going for a good path. "The villain has a certain similarity to the slime monster, only that the only difference is that it is much greater and his attack capacity is even worse and more aggressive than he is." He set his characteristic thoughtful frown.
Oh no… this was not good for him, as for Midoriya's mother, as for anyone in the group.
"He challenged me," he revealed in full analysis. "And I accepted his challenge, because no one hurts my mother." He shook a hand, bringing it close to his chest, putting that determined gesture that shook Todoroki's heart. "Let's defeat that villain, Todoroki-kun"
"Midoriya" He insisted uselessly, since he had already made his decision without consulting anyone.
"For that, I have a plan"
"Are you sure of what you are doing?" He asked, worried about the mood in which they subjected the poor Midoriya. He didn't deserve any kind of suffering, for he was the friendliest and friendliest person in the world. Hurting him meant not having empathy for any living being.
He nodded extremely determined, making a fist with both hands at shoulder height.
"For the plan to work" He said secretly. "I need you to be with me"
Midoriya was impulsive for this kind of situation, but he even more by agreeing to remain by his side.
Todoroki nodded.
"Always Midoriya"
Seeing that proud smile full of sparkles around his eyes, it was devastating for him.
"Then." He approached in confidence. "This is the plan…"
