A/N: I don't own MHA or Saints Row, although if I did we would have a Saints Row 5 by now.
Quirk Name': Saint's Flow
Abilities:
Halo Veins: When activating his quirk Izuku gains two sets of glowing lines that loosely resemble a nervous system all over his body. One set is lime green while the other is a dark violet. When his quirk is turned off all the way the glowing lines, which Izuku has nicknamed Halo Veins, have faded out mint green and and faded out light violet glows to them.
Super Strength: Unknown limit but allows to jump around at incredible distances. Increased durability as result. Can channel more energy to attacks to give more power but can result in pain or injury for Izuku.
Super Speed: Currently can run at Max speed of 120 kilometers per hour. (33.3 m/s)
Healing ability: Can focus energy to heal self faster and others but can leave the Izuku is used on tired after. Can give headaches if used too much in a short time.
Blast: Charges up energy that user can throw like a projectile with different effects:
Green blast: Energy forms into a green ball that when it is thrown breaks upon impact with force and sends a small shockwave of force that pushes everything slightly away from where it hits.
Supercharged Green blast: Izuku forces more energy into a green blast that can multiply it's affects. Can strain his arm and make his arm unusable for a bit if strained too hard. Requires two hands.
Supreme Green blast: Izuku uses different flowing strands of green energy that he shoots out simultaneously that create a green blast that has the power of forty green blasts combined. Extremely dangerous to use as even the slightest bit of a misstep could result in the energy releasing early in Izuku's arm and injuring it gravely.
Purple blast: Energy forms into a purple ball surrounded by purple flames. Flames do not burn user and burn out in a flash once blast impacts something. Flames disappear instantly but do burn anything near where the blast impacts.
Supercharged Purple Blast: Izuku forces more energy into a purple blast that can multiply it's affects. If used too often in a shirt span it too overloaded with energy can lead to danger for burning his arms. Requires two hands.
Mold: Blue energy that can be held like a solid object and molded into many things. Dense but light weight. Can be used to bring things closer to Izuku or swing from object to object. If used for too long or the mold takes damage can lead to a mental strain on Izuku that begins with a nosebleed. Over time as Izuku has used it bright blue lines gave formed the ridges and lines on his hands and lower forearms.
Electricity: Izuku can conduct yellow electricity inside of himself that he can release in any direction. If he charges up too much to release he will shirt circuit his bodily functions and be paralyzed momentarily. Usage has caused yellow arcs of electricity to start shooting around in his sclera. Can be used to give Izuku a quick boost of energy.
Wings: Izuku has a pair of wings that can be materialized with a flown of energy or vice-versa. Wings are green in color and most feathers have small purple flames that are mostly harmless but give feathers a burnt appearance. Wings have own senses of feeling that Izuku gains instantly. Wingspan is 6 meters Izuku has lost his wings since having them ripped out in the attack at USJ
Devil's Sight: In Izuku's left eye there is an infusion of red enegy stolen from the Nomu at USJ. Red halo veins cover the left side of his face in a crack like design, even running through his left eye, keaving res cracks of energy through his sclera and iris and leaving his pupil blood red. Through using this energy his left eye can see better in the dark, but everything is in shades of red. A flash of light will be more blinding than usual and will shut off the eye momentarily.
Ping: Izuku can release a small amount of energy using his red halo veins and locate any nearby Saints or demonic powers. However when he does this every person with powers like his in the area can feel his energy as well. Only Izuku can see where the others are with this, anyone caught under it is just aware of his ping and general area.
Transformations: Izuku channels more energy from the halo that activates a new state or transformation. Currently Izuku has two transformations:
Transformation - Saint's Rage: Izuku activates all abilities at once, forcing him and the halo into a state of higher work. Can cause extremd exhaustion in Izuku and requires a long cool down. Physical changes involve purple flames coming from his eyes and his skin taking on a purple hue.
Transformation - Saint's Demons: Only accessed by extreme stress or anger. Izuku loses all sense of reasoning and control and becomes extremely violent. All of Izuku's abilities are locked off and he only has access to increased super strength, super speed and healing ability. Gains long claws for fingers that are extremely sharp. Physical changes include black leathery skin, halo veins all become thicker with only a dark purple fluid, horns that go back across his head and his eyes become solid black orbs that cause fear in anyone who sees them from all of the malice Izuku gives off in this state. A flat part of the left horn is permanently sticking out of Izuku's skull, believed to be there because of the ted energy. This transformation is extremely dangerous for Izuku to use because he has no control over himself and will attack anything he sees.
Previously on The Heroic Saint:
Getting to the bottom of the stairs he spoke before looking up. "Hey I decided the gun itself would be easier for you to wor-"
Izuku stopped talking and dropped his gun, which broke apart as it hit the floor, when he looked up and saw him.
Standing a couple of meters away was his father.
Hisashi Midoriya.
A stray shot somehow launched out of the pistol as the broken pistol hit the floor, hitting the floor right next to Katsuki.
Everyone looked at it for a second, except Izuku who hadn't taken his now wide eyes off of his father.
No one said anything, feeling a tension between the father and son.
"Izuku." The gruff voice of Hisashi said. Hisashi was tall, built like an athlete with short wild green hair that looked like it was made of flames almost. He looked similar to Izuku, except Izuku had his halo veins and horn to separate himself farther from Hisashi.
Katsuki was gripping his fists tightly and being held back by Yui. He could easily break out of her grip but part of him wanted Izuku to beat his father's ass by himself, just to stick it to him.
Izuku gelt something break inside, as if the mere sight of his father and the one word he said was a trigger to make him relive every beating he had gotten as a child. His response was to try to go back up the stairs.
"Midoriya." Nezu spoke. "Come back here."
"Why?" Izuku turned around, looking slightly mad. He knew that it was Nezu behind his father being there. Probably another damn test of his control.
"We need to sit down and have this matter resolved." Nezu answered.
"What matter resolved!?" Izuku shouted. "Do you mean the trauma you don't even fully understand and are trying to trigger by bringing him here!?"
"Midoriya your transformation is a risk." Nezu burrowed his brow, noticing a bit of black fluid in his halo veins.
"To no one! It hasn't gone off since USJ!"
"You have no control of yourself during it." Nezu said.
Izuku was gripping the rail really tightly, just being in his father's gaze was bringing back everything. He could feel the back of his neck burning as if it was happening again. Black fluid was going through his veins faster and more frequently than before, and everyone in the room could clearly see that. Some of them feeling tense.
"Enough." Hisashi said to Nezu. "Let me speak to him myself."
"I have nothing to say to you!" Izuku was now understanding more about his transformation, it was a panic button for his extreme fear as well as a state of anger. He was fighting back the transformation he felt starting to warm up.
"Iz-" Hisashi tried to speak but Izuku cut him off.
"Anything you wanted to say to me you could have said before you abandoned me in that fucking alley!" Izuku shouted, going back down the stairs while doing so.
"If you would ju-" Hisashi was looking mad when Izuku cut him off again.
Izuku looked like he was shaking trying to hold himself back. His green veins were losing their green shade and slowly becoming purple.
Momo pulled Eri closer to her, making sure the girl wouldn't be in the way.
"Fuck you! You don't deserve to say ANYTHING!" Izuku's transformation was turning all of his fear into anger. It barely had to try as Izuku had pent up aggression building up since everything happened.
Nezu was starting to regret bringing Hisashi here, what he thought was simply being abandoned was quickly shown to not be just that.
Hisashi grit his teeth. "Let me speak."
Izuku knew he had to leave the area that exact instant or he would not be able to stoo the transformation. The black tar like substance started to appear on his skin, leaking out from his halo veins. His one visible horn was gaining a little edge. "I didn't hear anything from you for ten years. I don't need to hear anything now!" Izuku attempted to go back up the stairs.
"You still act like a little brat." Hisashi growled.
That was the pushing point for Izuku.
In the next few seconds multiple things happened.
Izuku's transformation of Saint's Demons was almost fully activated, covering him mostly in the demonic form, his red veins now stretching and covering his entire face in a blood like design. The tar like covering missing in only a few spots.
Izuku turned and leapt at his father with his clawed had already going for a strike at Hisashi's face.
"Midoriya no!" All Might shouted as he quickly moved to grab the boy and not let him attack his father.
Several of the students had either jumped farther back to get space or jumped forward to stop Izuku like All Might, those being Momo, Aoyama, Mezou and Fumikage. Katsuki joined as well, but it was against his better judgement because he fully believed that Hisashi should get what he deserves.
All Might didn't grab Izuku quick enough to prevent his first strike. His blackened claws cutting four large slashes across Hisashi's face, not deep enough to kill him like intended, as All Might was quick enough to prevent that from happening.
Hisashi fell backwards onto his ass, actually looking up in fear at the demonic boy who All Might could barely hold.
"Midoriya STOP!" All Might was glad that so far Izuku hadn't turned on him but the state of rage could make him do so any second.
Fumikage quickly put a hand towards Izuku and used his Loa Dust to try to calm him down. "Midoriya stop."
Izuku, still being guiding by his rage struggled to break out of All Might's hold, digging his claws into All Might's arm slightly.
"Monsieur Midoriya!" Aoyama was struggling to hold Izuku back.
Momo out herself in between Izuku and his father as he tried to claw him again. "Izuku no!"
The sight of Momo being struck, even the slightest bit that she was, pulled back Izuku's rage enough to give him back more control. Izuku stopped struggling, breathing heavily. He broke out of All Might's loosening grip and glared at Nezu. Not looking at Momo, ashamed that his rage made him strike her on accident.
"You had NO right to bring him here!" He shouted with tears starting to appear in his eyes as he stormed over to the exit. Everyone watching as he slammed the door so hard it actually broke off of the wall. It was dead silent and no one knew what to say. What would they say following someone turning into a demon to try and kill their father?
Momo felt her cheek, feeling the blood leak out of the blackened cut Izuku gave her.
All Might looked at Nezu. "I told you this wouldn't end well."
Nezu didn't respond, not expecting to be so drastically wrong about how bad a situation was.
Hisashi still stared at the spot Izuku was in when he attacked him, frozen in fear from the hate he saw in his son's cold, dark black eyes. Now having the look of fear he once gave his son.
Nezu had quickly escorted Hisashi out of U.A., leaving All Might to go find Izuku. The rest of 1-A was left in the commons.
"I should have thrown a punch myself." Katsuki scowled.
"Did Midori really get abandoned in an alley?" Mina asked quietly, no one speaking above a whisper.
"Yes." Katsuki muttered. "His father is a jackass."
"What happened to Izu?" Eri asked, looking scared and bing held tightly by Momo.
"He entered a power he had. It happens when he is angry." Katsuki said.
"Midoriya was actually shaking he was getting so mad." Minoru said.
"Katsuki since that all happened can you please just tell us what happened?" Momo asked, having put a bandage over the cut to stop the bleeding.
Katsuki frowned. "It is his business, but I guess that was thrown out the window. That bastard wanted to have a son he could mold into a second version of himself. That stuff Icy Hot unloaded on us the other day about what his dad was like pretty much. Except Spitfire was more abusive, especially after he found out Izuku didn't get born with flame breath."
"He was born quirkless." Ochaco said.
"Yes, His father didn't know this until Izuku was four, and the next year wasn't good. Bastard took out his rage on Izuku, physically, before deciding to just abandon Izuku one time." Katsuki had to stop to breath, getting pissed off because he couldn't forget how he didn't improve things for Izuku back then. "The guy made Izuku believe he was worthless. Which is why when Johnny appeared like Izuku said he did Izuku leeched onto him, finally having a positive role model for once, someone who believed in his potential. But as you could see Izuku never got over any of the problems, only hiding them and letting them get worse."
"We should find Izuku." Momo said, worried about him.
"Yes we should." Fumikage nodded.
"The second anyone finds him tell everyone else." Katsuki said as he stood up. "Someone needs to stay here with Eri." Katsuki didn't want the little girl who must have been scared shitless to go out there in the dark.
"No!" Eri argued, as much as she was scared she wanted Izuku. "I want to help Izu!"
"Good Lord what happened to our door!?" The voice of Tenya spoke and everyone turned to see him just returning.
"Midoriya broke it." Fumikage said.
"His dad was here." Mina added.
Tenya got quiet also. "Is he alright?"
"We were just about to go find him." Minoru said.
"Where would he go. Would he even still be on campus?" Tooru said.
"With his father around?" Aoyama said. "He could have left campus altogether."
Momo got an idea. "I might know where he is."
"Where?" Katsuki asked.
"Where's the one place he spent the most time with Gat?" Momo asked.
"It's either that beach or the burger place." Katsuki said. "Split into two groups and search them first."
"Isn't that place closed right now?" Kyoka asked.
"Dude just tried to kill his own dad. I don't think he cares about a locked door." Minoru said as they tried to exit the building. Only to run into Aizawa.
"Kids I know you all are aware of the curfew." Aizawa said.
"But sensei!" Mina tried to argue.
Aizawa held up his hand to signal for her to stop. "Let me finish. The rule stipulates no entries back onto campus after nine. Just find someplace to stay, if you can't I can still look the other way." Aizawa knew what happened when he saw All Might, he also disagreed with the whole of Nezu's plan. "I saw him storm off of campus if that helps at all."
"Shouldn't you also be concerned for him?" Katsuki asked their teacher.
"I am concerned. However I believe you guys are more suited for this." Aizawa stepped out of their way.
"Okay so we have either the beach, Burger place or he possibly went back to his mom." Katsuki said. "I will lead the group to his mom's place because I am the only one here who knows where it is."
"I can take people to Pete's." Ochaco offered.
"I can take the beach then. It is Dagobah Municipal beach correct?" Momo asked
"Yea." Katsuki nodded. "I don't care who follows me." He left, Yui, Eijiro, Tooru and Mina following him.
"Okay Pete's group follow me." Ochaco took the path there, Minoru, Mezou and Tenya following her.
Momo, holding Eri, looked to the three people left. Fumikage, Aoyama and Tsu. "Looks like we have our beach group."
"Let's go find Midoriya." Fumikage said as they started on their way.
Inko opened the door to her apartment. At first confused about seeing a group of teenagers, but recognizing Katsuki.
"Hello Katsuki, why are you here so late?" Inko asked as she let them enter.
"Did Izuku come back here?" Katsuki asked.
"Yes he was here earlier with that sweet girl Eri." Inko answered. "That was hours ago shouldn't he be back at school?"
"We don't know where he is " Mina said.
Inko felt panic, hours after just lecturing Izuku to be careful and he was missing? "What happened?"
"He came back to U.A., but Spitfire was there." Katsuki said.
Inko sat down on her couch. "Oh dear. What happened? Tell me everything."
Katsuki sat in the chair he would normally take there, the others joining him in sitting around the area. "As far as I can tell the Principal was worried that Izuku had no control over his Saint's Demons transformation and wanted to get rid of any triggers."
"And Izuku's father was a trigger." Mina added.
"A big one." Eijiro nodded.
"What did that man say to my son?" Inko was definitely getting stressed out again.
"Izuku wouldn't really let the guy speak. He kept cutting him off and yelling at him." Eijiro said.
"Yea at first he looked really scared but then started getting angrier and angrier as it went on." Tooru said. "Spitfire maybe got out two full sentences."
"Izuku snapped when the bastard said he was still a brat." Katsuki said. "It took All Might, me, bird boy, Arms, Frenchie and Spiky hair to restrain him, and that was a struggle."
Inko probably gained a few more gray hairs. "After that?"
"Well Midori cut his dad's face pretty good. Yaomomo got him to calm down just enough that Midori instead yelled at Nezu and stormed off of campus. We started looking for him after that."
"Do you know why Hisashi would come?" Inko asked.
"We only know what Principal Nezu's intentions were." Yui spoke. "Midoriya's father couldn't get enough out for anyone to know his own intentions."
"It's like the halo was forcing Izuku to be mad almost." Eijiro remarked.
"It would make sense. Anger can access his transformation better and the halo might be protective of Izuku and didn't want him to have fear at all." Katsuki theorized.
"Wait... how do you know about the halo?" Inko asked them.
"The boss told us all. He actually made that group his grandfather wanted." Tooru answered that.
"We need to find Izuku though." Katsuki stated, getting antsy.
"Izu hasn't come here." Inko said. "He might come here though so I will let you know if he does."
Katsuki nodded. "Okay, sorry to bother you Ms Midoriya. We will find Izuku." The group started to leave.
"Um the lights aren't on and the door is looked so I wanna guess Midoriya isn't here." Minoru said as he tried the door to Pete's, which was locked and closed for the night.
"Izuku might have gained his senses back and locked the door behind him." Tenya offered as he looked through the glass.
Mezou made more ears with his Dupli-Arms and focused on the inside of the building. "There are no sounds inside. If he is in there he is being deathly quiet."
"If Izuku was coming here he would've broken the door on accident probably. I don't think he can pick a lock and the door is locked and in normal condition." Ochaco sighed. "He didn't come here so if it is any of the spots it's the others."
Everyone's phones went off at the same time.
"Bakugo says he wasn't at his mom's." Minoru reported.
"So it's the beach if any of the three spots." Mezou said.
"Let's go then."
Aoyama was the first one who had been able to find Izuku the whole time, being told to search farther down the beach he found Izuku. He had kept a distance from the Saint until he was sure Izuku had reigned in his demonic state, which has been evaporating off of him like purple and black steam. Aoyama not wanting to be attacked at all.Izuku had stopped near a dock, close enough to the water that he was just arms reach away. He was sitting there in the sand with his head in his knees.
Aoyama pulled out his phone and his
Aoyama put his phone away and approached Izuku slowly. He could hear the sounds of Izuku sobbing as he got closer.
"I'm not... talking to him." Izuku muttered. "You can't make me." Aoyama guessed that Izuku was assuming it was a teacher who found him.
"Monsieur Boss I can assure you I will not send you to that man." Aoyama said. "I would be a hypocrite."
Izuku looked slightly in Aoyama's direction. "What?"
"A hypocrite. I would be a hypocrite, sending you back to your father when I didn't want to talk to mine." Aoyama sat next to Izuku, he could see the puffiness in Izuku's eyes.
"You had a bad dad too?" Izuku asked.
"Oui. He was nowhere near as bad as your father, but he was bad enough. He wanted me to be version two of him, something I didn't meet the standards of."
"Our class has three terrible dad's so far. Endeavor is better actually, he is trying to fix himself." Izuku took a breath. "What was the deal with your dad?"
He actually has a dark dagger like quirk." Aoyama said. "He was not the kindest when instead of a new and improved version of his quirk I gained a second version of my mother's. She could make herself shine brightly. I got bright lasers from my stomach, but with a major drawback."
"The stomach contents being used as a source of power." Izuku filled in.
"Oui. He was never kind to me, never paid a hand on me but was emotional abusive. My mother separated from him when I was eight, I decided to put myself as far away from him as possible. If he was a shadow I would make myself shine so bright that he wouldn't matter and be nothing to me."
"I wish it was that easy for me." Izuku said.
"The harder the polish work is done the more we shine in the end." Aoyama stated. "We can both put in more elbow grease and show them that they were wrong, and that we will shine bright with our own vibrant light."
Izuku made a smile. "As long as we are the twinkling buddies."
"I would have nothing else." Aoyama grinned, glad he was cheering up Izuku.
"It's kind of weird that three people in the same class all have fathers who were dicks for pretty much the same reason." Izuku pointed out.
Aoyama nodded. "May I also point out that the only one who was born with their father's quirk in any way was the one who had their father realize his mistake himself and try to change."
Izuku exhaled. "Kind of interesting."
They stayed silent for a minute. Both turning when they heard two people approaching. It was Momo holding Eri.
"Hey Izuku." Momo spoke softly, Eri half asleep in her arms. Izuku eyeing the bandage and feeling guilty.
Izuku made an awkward face, standing up and facing Momo. "I'm sorry. I-"
Momo out a hand over Izuku's mouth. "It's fine."
"No it's not it's-" Izuku stopped talking when Eri woke up.
"Izu!" Eri rubbed her eyes.
Izuku gave a weak smile to Eri. "Hi Eri, sorry you had to see that."
"That was scary." Eri stated.
"I know. That was my powers trying to protect me."
"You're powers were trying to protect you?" Eri asked.
"Did you learn more about the halo's transformations?" Momo let Eri down so she could go to Izuku, which was helping him feel better.
"The halo might be activating that state as a way of self defense. Like it feels my extreme emotions and just overloads me with the extremely potent dark purple stuff."
"That would make sense." Momo sat close to Izuku opposite of Aoyama, Eri in between Izuku and Momo.
Izuku looked at the bandage on Momo's right cheek, still not accepting what happened. "Momo I am-"
Momo leaned towards him, putting her hand over his mouth again. "I know."
Izuku leaned his head against hers, both of them looking at the waves close by.
"I don't blame you." Momo said quietly.
"You should. I lost control and you got hurt." Izuku argued.
"It was only a prick, I knew you wouldn't hurt me worse. It's not in you." Momo whispered back.
"Beast would not willingly attack his beauty." Aoyama commented.
"Greetings." Fumikage said as he and Tsuyu approached.
"Are you okay?" Tsuyu asked.
Izuku breathed a little heavier. "I guess. Remembering everything just sucks."
"We are here if you want to talk." Fumikage dropped down next to Aoyama, Tsuyu sitting next to him.
"I just want to sit here for now." Izuku replied, putting his head back against Momo's. Everyone nodding.
A minute passed in silence before the rest of the search groups all found their way to the group.
"Room for more?" Katsuki asked, not waiting for an answer before he sat next to Momo. The rest of the kids forming a line sitting on the beach.
Izuku looked up and down the line, seeing everyone that came to be there for him. Proving the torment that made him believe he was worthless for years to be wrong. Izuku started to tear up
"I don't deserve you guys." Izuku started sobbing.
"Yes you do." Momo wrapped one arm around Izuku.
Aoyama rubbed Izuku's shoulder. "We barely deserve you."
Small golden flecks of fluid appeared in Izuku's halo veins.
All Might gave a small smile as he finally found the boy he has spent an hour looking for, being comforted by his friends. He didn't plan on interrupting them any time soon. Instead he pulled out his phone to tell Aizawa he would be watching them to make sure they were fine.
Nezu sighed as he started to dig through some paperwork in his office. He was almost always right, rarely being wrong. However this time he was severely wrong. In hindsight he should have done just a little more digging to find out how ring he was. His overconfidence in himself made him think it was just abandonment issues, when he could now see now barely hidden files, as if someone didn't want these to be found at all but used lackluster means of hiding them. Notes of physical injuries with at that time an unknown cause became much clearer as obvious abuse from his father.
Nezu had created a mess, no telling how Hisashi would react to this and especially how Izuku himself would react in the next few days.
A while later on the beach most of the students had actually fallen asleep in their spots. All Might deciding that he should get them all to a more suitable place to sleep. He was thankful that one of the four kids still awake was Ochaco.
"Young Uraraka." All Might spoke quietly because he didn't want to wake any of the others.
Ochaco looked up to the hero. "Are we in trouble?"
"I should hope not. Can you help me however with getting your classmates to the dorms?"
Ochaco nodded. "Float them back?"
"If you are willing."
Ochaco poked Katsuki to make him float, not noticing how when he was sleeping he was leaning on Yui, who was awake and had a small smile. "I'm willing."
Tenya stretched. "Will we do more in the morning? I want to make sure Izuku is fine."
Eijiro picked up the sleeping Tooru in his arms, not minding carrying her himself. "I think this definitely helped the guy, but we can't force this with him. Gotta let him open up when he is ready."
"Indeed. If anyone he would open up to you kids." All Might said as he watched the sleeping Izuku started to float up, under the effects of Ochaco's quirks. "I have no doubt that this wasn't the end of events between the two."
"I'm not going to lie when I say I might want to kick his father's ass as much as or even more than Bakugo." Eijiro said.
"As wrong as wanting pain against another person is I do agree that he deserves punishment." Tenya nodded, helping guide the sleeping students.
Later All Might looked at the four students in front of him. They had taken the students to their own rooms, putting Eri with Momo to give Izuku the night.
"I know you all are aware of the Saints and their history. I was told parts of it myself. I want you to remember that what has happened to Izuku has made him very vulnerable when it comes to his own self worth. If what I have seen in the past has taught me anything it's that he struggles with the belief of being deserving of friends like you kids. I want you four to pass in the message to the others. Help Izuku learn of his self worth, he is only going to drive himself farther and farther into danger to take everything for you. Little Eri is definitely helping in that regard especially."
Tenya nodded. "It is like he always says. Saints look after each other."
"He is too busy looking out for us so we gotta return the favor." Eijiro agreed.
All Might waved to them. "I will be going now. Good luck and good night to you kids."
Hisashi looked in the mirror at the three large cuts covering the right side of his face. Blackened along the edges and large enough to fit his finger tip in If it hadn't been for his son not having his middle finger Hisashi would have had a fourth cut go right three his right eye.
Hisashi remembered the absolute hate in Izuku's eyes, filled with malice all aimed at him. If it wasn't for All Might interfering along with some of the other students Hisashi had no doubt his son would have definitely done worse damage, or even killed him.
Perhaps he should tread more carefully the next time he tries to talk to Izuku.
Izuku shot up in cold sweat, having another nightmare. This time it was about the time his father abandoned him. His neck felt like it was burning with the heat that had touched it years ago, any marks having long since faded away. He checked his clock and saw that it was barely close to three in the morning. He sat there breathing heavy for a minute before he brought his breath to an even level.
He thankfully didn't have the words echoing in his head anymore. The words that always out him down, belittled him, made him feel weak. He only had the silence at that moment, and he wanted something to fill it.
Getting up and shuffling to his door he decided to go just sit in the courtyard downstairs. Right as he was about to go down the stairs he heard a door open.
"Izuku?" Momo yawned as she saw him.
"Hi Momo." Izuku waved weakly.
"What are you doing up? How did we even get here?" Momo whispered as she got closer.
"Someone moved us probably." Izuku thought about it.
"Are you okay?" Momo put a hand on Izuku's shoulder.
"Can I lie?"
"Please don't."
"Then I am not fine." Izuku sighed. "That dick made me think for so long I wasn't worth anything, even after I got the halo, and you guys. It just kept ringing in my head."
Momo pursed her lips. "He isn't worth anything if he couldn't see your value."
Izuku smiled. "You know, it's weird for the diamond to tell a quarter it has value."
Momo smiled as well. "Are you calling me a diamond?"
"I wanted to say something even rarer and amazing but I drew a blank."
"You couldn't think of anything more incredible then a diamond?"
"A star?"
"The word your looking for is Izuku."
"False, it is Momo."
"We can argue about this all night." Momo said.
"I will argue this because I firmly believe in my side." Izuku replied.
"How about instead of arguing we go fix your pistol, I think it's still in the commons."
"You didn't want to continue arguing because you knew I would be right." Izuku started for the stairs.
Momo nudged him in the side. "I will win this argument."
"Nope. Saints are too stubborn to lose."
"I'm a Saint too you dork."
Eri had watched the two talk in the hallway, before they went downstairs. She wanted to say something but it felt wrong to interrupt them. She could just stay there in Momo's room for the night and let the two have their time.
It was now morning.
"Honey I'm home!" Denki shouted as he, Hanta and Mashirao entered the dorms.
"Why do we have a new door?" Mashirao asked as he walked up to the table where a few of the others were already eating.
"Can you wait until the others return for an explanation?" Katsuki asked in between bites of bacon.
"Okay I guess." Hanta plopped down. "Say why did Aoyama send his location to us all?"
"Part of the explanation." Ochaco answered.
"Mysterious." Denki remarked as he sat down.
A minute later Shoto entered the dorms as well, followed directly by Neito and Kyoka.
"Hello." Shoto said quietly as he sat down.
"How are your stitches?" Minoru looked to Neito.
Neito pointed to the area where the stitches had to be redone. "They redid them and so far it's okay."
"His sister flipped out and wanted to give him a hug afterwards while apologizing and almost caused them to reopen again." Kyoka had a small smile.
"I just need probably one more day before I'm back to normal than intended." Neito replied as he sat down.
"Okay you six you get to play catch-up right now." Katsuki said.
"Did something happen yesterday?" Shoto asked.
"Spitfire was here." Ochaco said as she grabbed a piece of toast.
"He was!" Denki gasped. "Oh shit."
"Yea. Barely said a word but his presence alone was enough to trigger the boss's demon state." Minoru added.
"Where is Izuku?" Neito asked.
"He and Spiky hair decided to work on his gun down here last night apparently and passed out on the couches. I woke them up a little bit ago so they can get dressed or shit." Katsuki stated.
"Is he okay?" Shoto guessed that from his reaction the week prior to Shoto mentioning his father that the man being there wasn't good.
"We had to find him yesterday because he stormed out of here, because the bastard was here and Izuku ended up at Dagobah beach."
"What happened exactly?" Mashirao asked.
"Boss straight up tried to kill his dad, but All Might, Yaoyorozu and some others stopped him." Minoru answered that question.
"How bad did he fuck up his dad?"
"He only got one attack before All Might grabbed him." Ochaco said.
"Yea but it still took a group to stop Izuku from attacking the guy, All Might actually struggled to hold Izuku for a second." Katsuki added.
"The only reason he managed to stop was Yaoyorozu got in his way and Izuku accidentally hit her, it made him stop before he left."
"Is Momo okay?" Kyoka asked.
"He just nicked her cheek with one claw." Ochaco drew a line with her finger on her right cheek.
"Anything else happen we should know about?" Shoto asked.
"Yea, when we found Izuku he needed comforting for obvious reasons. We gotta make sure he stays fine but we can't force this with him. Momo said he was starting to last night with her." Ochaco said.
"So Bakugo won't beat our asses for saying Spitfire anymore?" Denki asked. "As long as we aren't trying to mess with the boss that is, which I wouldn't do."
"Sure." Katsuki shrugged.
"So who was Kirishima's secret date?" Denki asked.
"Hagakure." Minoru answered and watched as Denki handed Hanta money.
"Crap."
"Told you." Hanta grinned as he counted his new cash.
"You guys bet on it?" Kyoka seemed irritated by that.
"I said it was most likely Hagakure and Denki doubted it so we put money on it." Hanta said. "No harm is done."
"Anyways on to more important things." Katsuki interrupted them. "I saw All Might earlier and he changed what we were doing today to something lighter."
"Did he say what it was?" Ochaco asked.
The explosive teen nodded. "Yea, a race thing, he wanted to explain it to me but I said could wait for class to hear it."
More people had started to show up in the commons, everyone there save for Izuku.
"So... what is going to happen now?" Tenya asked. "Surely yesterday wasn't the last of this particular thing."
"Well next time I won't hold Izuku back." Katsuki said. "I shouldn't have last night."
"Let's join him next time."
"What next time?" Izuku came down the stairs, holding his still broken sunglasses in his hands.
"Um boss we were talking about yesterday." Denki seemed afraid of saying it.
Izuku didn't even take a slip in his pace to the table. "Oh that."
"What happened?" Melissa, actually being around them for the first time since class yesterday asked.
"An asshole was here yesterday." Izuku said as he sat down. "On to better things. I think I had an epiphany on fixing my glasses."
"So you finally won't be looking like a broke bitch." Katsuki went with the change in topic.
"What's the idea?"
"Gramps made these special for me with his quirk." Izuku had to watch his words around Melissa. "His energy made them the way they were. I just guessed that what if the Nomu's energy fucked up the way my Gramp's energy did its thing and I could just use my own energy to fix the way it all did its thing."
"Makes sense." Fumikage said.
"Didn't Todoroki absorb the Nomu's energy?" Melissa asked.
Shoto nodded. "Perhaps I can help take leftover energy if it's there."
"Nah, I am keeping it if there is any. I just needed to say it to you guys first so someone could talk me out of it if it was a dumb idea." Izuku said.
Momo had a smile. "Finally listening to what I have been saying?"
"Only that one thing. I still think you are wrong about this morning."
"I disagree."
"If course you do. You think you're right."
"Because I am right, Izuku."
"Wrong." Izuku put his hand over Momo's mouth to stop her from speaking. Pulling it away in surprise when she licked it. "Wait, you're gonna complain when I lick your hand covering my mouth, but then do it yourself?" Izuku wiped his hand on his pants leg.
"Don't be surprised when someone turns one of your tricks on you." Momo replied with a smirk.
"I'm going to find a way to make you regret those words." Izuku poked her shoulder.
"Just try to." Momo poked him back.
"I intend to. That's why I said it." Izuku poked her again.
Katsuki coughed really loudly, getting them to stop. "*Ahem* Do the thing with your glasses. I want to see them blow up."
Izuku and Momo both got red faced before Izuku nodded and held his glasses again. "Yes. Let's watch me blow up my glasses and hopefully my life now." Izuku began to leak a small amount of his green and purple energy into the glasses. It was the first time Izuku tried to pour his energy into an inanimate object and it felt weird. He could feel the other energy that was left by Johnny in it and how it wasn't flowing properly at all, meaning that everything at USJ must have knocked it apart. He didn't know which way the energy went originally and decided to make it flow in a spiral through where the lenses would be and have the edges flow into the frames. The energy started to kick it into a higher gear and flow faster. The glasses started to have a dim purple glow that was getting brighter before the glow disappeared completely, the glasses back in perfect condition.
"It worked!" Izuku said happily as he put back on his sunglasses. Everyone noticed how golden fluid appeared in his veins for a second. Izuku saw people looking at him oddly. "What?"
"Dude, what does the gold do?" Denki asked.
"What gold?" Izuku asked in confusion.
"Your halo veins. Gold shit just went through them." Katsuki explained.
"Really?" Izuku looked but didn't see any gold. "I didn't know that was a thing."
"New ability?" Ochaco guessed.
"If it's like that black shit like it looks like it is you might have another transformation." Katsuki shrugged.
"Nice." Izuku thought for a second. "If the Saint's Demons transformation is triggered by my negative emotions and it has the black fluid. Then this gold stuff must be triggered by happier emotions."
"Which makes since when it appeared as you fixed your grandfather's glasses." Shoto said. "Perhaps it might be an inverse to the demonic mode, like perhaps an angelic mode."
"Neat. One of these days I got to achieve it." Izuku said. "Let's focus on that after the Sports Festival."
"When is the Sports Festival?" Eri asked.
"It's the Monday after next. So we have eleven days to train." Eijiro grinned. "Honestly I'm pumped."
"So I am." Izuku nodded.
"Get to kick the other classes asses." Katsuki added.
"And show the world the debut of the Saints." Izuku grinned.
Chisaki was walking through an alley, returning to his hideout, when someone spoke.
"Are you Chisaki Kai?"
Chisaki looked at the man who had just approached him with curiosity, how did this man know his name. The man was huge, wearing a mask that he could barely make out the red and green designs of underneath the hood that man had up.
"How do you know that name?" Chisaki thought to take off his gloves and use Overhaul, but the man seemed to be purposely standing as if he meant no harm.
"I take that as a yes. Don't worry I am just a messenger." The man scratched the part of his face not covered by the mask.
"Forgive me if I feel like I should worry." Chisaki replied. "Not many are bold enough to speak my name, or get in close proximity to me."
"I have been told I am bold before." The man had a smirk. "My master is even bolder. He actually has an offer for you."
"Who is your master?" Chisaki scanned the area and saw no one else.
"He is not able to come here yet. However he wanted to offer help because of something. Help in return for help."
"How can he help me?" Chisaki gave a raised eyebrow.
The man pulled out a phone and held it up, showing the clip of Chisaki and that boy when they fought for Eri. "You have a similar pest problem as my master, he want to offer help in your cause and in return have you crush the Saints."
"How will he help me?" Chisaki did feel intrigued to take the offer but needed more information.
"Well the Saints being crushed is something you should want as well. However my master told me to give this extra boost to you if you accept." The man held up an orange medallion with what appeared to be a tribal styled stencil if a Stag's head on it in white.
"What is that?" Chisaki looked at it confused.
"Power." The man replied with a grin.
They were now in their classroom, Melissa and Eri excluded. Melissa went to the support department and Eri was with All Might at Recovery Girl's clinic. She wasn't hurt or anything, they were just doing more tests on her quirk to find out what it was.
"So what do you think we got today with Aizawa-sensei?" Mina asked.
"Probably nothing extra." Denki shrugged.
"Hey Momo did you try to cool things with General Studies yet?" Izuku asked.
Momo closed her encyclopedia. "I did try to speak with them but they didn't want to hear it, I think they assumed I was trying to talk them down."
"Hey at least you tried." Izuku responded. "They didn't want to hear words and that's on them."
"Hello class." Aizawa shuffled into the class. "I have a few announcements. First here is this." Aizawa pulled a letter out of his pocket and handed it to Mashirao. "Can you pass that to Midoriya?"
Mashirao nodded and it was passed back to Izuku, who saw it was just his name printed on the front.
"Who is this from?" Izuku asked, not wanting to open it if it was from his father.
"The Principal wants to apologize but thought you wouldn't want to see him right now." Aizawa said.
Izuku put the letter in his pocket, deciding to read it later.
"Next I want to be honest with all twenty of you." Everyone looked at Aizawa confused. "I know about the Saints."
"Yea we have mentioned it before and you do sponsor us." Izuku said.
"Midoriya you know what I mean." Aizawa gave the boy a tired look. "It took only a second to think about all of your powers and I admittedly interrogated All Might last night when he returned from bringing you all here last night. He told me some of it. Don't worry about your secrets. They are safe with me. You all have come together as a group to help each other's potential grow and I won't be in the way of that. Just keep me in the loop so I can make sure you kids don't put yourself in too much trouble." Aizawa finished.
"Got it." Izuku was worried at first that Aizawa had found out, and interrogated All Might, but Aizawa was now a willing ally.
"Finally, due to me knowing your group and everything. I asked for a certain future task to be done today. If you all want to be debuting your group at the Sports Festival you all should have your hero names."
"Our hero names!?" Mina gasped in excitement.
Aizawa looked like the loudness that came over the class had given him a headache. "Yes, Midnight is going to be here in a minute to help you all, since I have no expertise or advice in this area." Aizawa pulled out his sleeping bag and laid down in it behind his desk.
"Our hero names!" Denki said. "Oh boy I can't wait to have mine. I already know what I want it to be!"
"The dumbass hero: Pikachu." Katsuki started laughing.
Denki deflated. "You're probably going to be called The Jackass Hero: Bitch-boi."
Katsuki threw a paper ball at him. "Fuck you. Although I do admit that was a good comeback."
Izuku took the chance to read Nezu's letter.
Dear Midoriya,
I apologize immensely for how horribly I mis guessed how bad things were in regard to your relationship with your father. I would not blame you if you have a grudge against me at this point. I have escorted Hisashi off of the campus last night and asked him to not set foot on the campus as we do not condone the treatment you had received. Wether or not this all comes to light in the public eye is up to you. I hope this doesn't dissuade you from continuing your tenure at U.A..
Sincerely Nezu
"What did Principal Nezu say?" Neito asked.
"He wanted to apologize for how badly he fucked up. He kicked my father off of the grounds and barred him from being here. Also said that it is my choice wether or not the shit my father did to me in the past is revealed at all." Izuku summarized.
"He might start kissing your ass now for a bit." Katsuki said.
"I already know my hero name now!" Mina said. "You all are going to LOVE it! But you gotta wait for Midnight to be here!"
"Did someone say Midnight!?" The named hero entered the room. "Hello little cuties!" The class greeted her. "Okay let's get right into it. Today I help you all make your hero names! You must be picking a name that you are all going to be alright with. Because once you debut anywhere with that name it will be what people remember as your hero name. Make it kid friendly if you can, we can't be dropping F bombs every time you are mentioned." Katsuki could be heard cursing quietly as now he had to change his name.
"You don't need an epithet, the more descriptive part of your hero name, but they can add a little pizzazz to your name."
"Wait do we have to avoid copyrights?" Mina asked.
"Please do."
Mina snapped her fingers in disappointment. "Well there goes being called Alien Queen."
"You could just go by Pinky. Half of us call you that already." Katsuki said.
"Alien Queen fits you a bit more." Fumikage said from his seat next to her.
Mina was going to say something to Katsuki about Pinky being the best choice but Fumikage's words made her stop and think.
"Here are some whiteboards. Think it over and come up here one at a time to present to your classmates. Or do it from your desk."
Tenya raised his hand. "What if we don't have one." Tenya was told by his older brother that he would one day get the Ingenium name. He didn't want to have something that wasn't his family's well known hero name.
Midnight nodded and answered. "It is fine if you don't have one yet. After today if you don't have one you can always come by my class to have me file in the name when you get it."
Tenya nodded, satisfied with his answer.
"Alright who's first!" Midnight asked.
Denki shot up. "Here's Mine!" He held up his board, which read something he spoke. "The Stunning Hero: Chargebolt!"
"Perfect! It describes your quirk perfectly."
"Here's mine." Hanta stood up. "Taping Hero: Cellophane."
Mashirao stood next, holding his board that said one word. "Someone said my tail reminded them of the animal and it can describe my fighting spirit." Mashirao seemed embarrassed. His board read the word "Lion."
"Ah dude that's awesome. Lion is badass." Denki said.
"It fits you." Ochaco gave a smile.
Minoru stood up, on his desk to get noticed. "I am going to be The freshly Picked Hero: Grapevine!"
"You literally are a grape vine if we think about it." Hanta nodded along.
"I shall be The Shining Hero: Étoile!" Aoyama declared with one of his poses.
"Étoile? Sounds french." Midnight remarked.
"Oui. It means Star, the only things to outshine me."
"It's perfect for you man." Izuku nodded.
"I'm going to be the Sturdy Hero: Red Riot." Eijiro said.
"Sounds badass, especially after you took those scars." Katsuki said.
"I'm The Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl." Tooru said her really on the nose name.
"The Rainy Season Hero: Froppy." Tsuyu announced hers.
"Cute. Definitely going to be well liked."
Yui looked at Katsuki, who was struggling to come up with something not overly violent. "Need help?"
"I wanted to go with King Explosion Murder but now I don't think I can." Katsuki frowned, that was his second option.
"How about Fuse?" Yui offered. "You can create explosions and are your own fuse."
Katsuki mulled it over. He patted Yui's shoulder. "That's amazing. Thanks." Katsuki actually had a smile
Yui's face turned red the second she saw the smile and Katsuki started to write down his name.
"I'm next!" Katsuki stood up. He held his board. "I'm going to be The Explosive Hero: Fuse."
"It's good." Midnight nodded, expecting to say something she would have to veto hard.
"Damn right it was good. It was made by a smart person." Katsuki sat down, Yui blushing harder at the praise.
Fumikage stood up. "My name shall be the Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi."
"Fits your whole dark theme." Mina grinned. "Okay! I'm going to be The Alien Queen!"
"That might remind people of the Xenomorph, and scare kids." Midnight said.
"Don't care. I look like an Alien, I am definitely a queen!" Mina defended herself.
"Plus she acts like a fool half the time so she's really not scary." Katsuki added.
"I'm going to find something to scare you with!" Mina pointed at Katsuki.
"Oooo I'm so scared." Katsuki waved his arms mockingly. "I'm shaking."
Midnight decided to not argue with the Pink girl over her hero name.
"I will be keeping my regular name for now." Tenya announced.
Mezou held up his board. "Tentacle Hero: Tentacole."
"Fits." Midnight nodded.
Ochaco raised her board. "It's not the best but Uravity is what I want to go with."
"It's unique, definitely fits." Mashirao said.
Yui, finally getting her blush under raised her board. "I chose Rule."
"Funny that I keep calling you Princess and now you are named Rule." Katsuki chuckled. "Trying to take control of the class apparently."
Yui blushed again, but luckily it was small enough to not be noticed. She didn't know why she felt like the way she was at that moment everytime Katsuki spoke, interacted with, or was just around her.
"It's not really original but The Hearing Hero: Earphone Jack." Kyoka held up her board.
"I like it." Neito said.
Kyoka looked at him, a small smile. "Of course you like it."
"It's my thing. My name is going to be the Copying Hero: Phantom Thief " Neito stated.
"Nice." Kyoka commented as Neito sat down.
Shoto stood up and held his board. "I choose Coldfire."
Momo went next. "The Everything Hero: Creati."
"Cute." Izuku remarked as she sat back down.
"Thanks, I try. Well you're last so what's your name?" Momo asked.
Izuku looked at his blank board, trying to think of a name he remembered a conversation a few years ago.
"What's the point of superhero names in this timeline?" Gat asked as he spotted Izuku, who was benching a small fridge as he was told to do."When quirks first appeared Vigilantes would use code names to hide their identities. Heroes nowadays use hero names to honor the first heroes." Izuku explained, halfway through putting the fridge down."Pssh, honestly if I was gonna be a hero I would just use my name, or a family name I guess. If anything not name related it would be Stilwater, I was raised there." Gat flicked a broken cars mirror. "Something that should mean something to me I guess."I still don't know what my hero name is going to be." Izuku said, he was trying to think about it but couldn't think of anything.
"Just make it your name then. I don't know how hero names work. As long as it means something to you and what has made you what you are then I think you're set brat." Gat fist bumped Izuku's shoulder. "Now we gotta do something manly to get over this sentimental stuff. Let's spar so I can see how you have been working on your form."
Izuku had a soft smile as he wrote down his hero name. Knowing exactly what it should be now.
"You're last boss. What's the name?" Katsuki asked.
Izuku looked at everyone. "My hero name is based on what I was told once, Make your name mean something to you and what has made you what you are. I want to show where my strength comes from. My name is going to be just that. Show exactly where I got my strength." Izuku flipped over his board and showed his Hero name. Everyone nodded when they saw it, knowing how much it truly did mean to Izuku and where he got his true potential.
The Heroic Saint: Gat
A/N: I apologize immediately if you guys weren't satisfied with Izuku and his father. I wanted to do more but I actually have a plan for farther down the road and I think it might be fulfilling if I take that route.
Some of the hero names were changed slightly because I personally thought they might be cooler that way. I was conflicted between Katsuki's current name of Fuse and Ground Zero instead but Fuse just spoke to me a little more.
Tension is now rising in the shadows, Chisaki just got a new toy maybe? Who knows who that man was?
Let me know how it was.
