Uraraka was sitting in her room slightly afraid of what Bakugo wanted to talk about. Both she and All Might knew that there was only a matter of time before someone would see the connections between All Might and her. But now she was afraid that Bakugo has somehow seen a connection between her and Deku. Her thoughts were interrupted when someone knocked on the door. "Uraraka, would you come to my office?" Aizawa asked. "I'm coming" Uraraka replied and opened the door. "Follow me" Aizawa said and began walking down the corridor. "Is it about what happened today?" Uraraka asked. "Yes" Aizawa replied and kept walking. Uraraka quickly followed behind.
After passing the curious looks of the rest of the class and sitting down in Aizawa's office Aizawa faced Uraraka. "Do you have any idea why you're here?" Aizawa asked. "Since Bakugo is here, I guess it's about what he wanted to talk about" Uraraka replied, briefly glancing at Bakugo. Aizawa nodded before facing Bakugo "Bakugo, why don't you tell her what you saw" He said. "Alright. Do you know why Deku has your blackwhip quirk?" Bakugo asked. "I-I" Uraraka stammered. "Cause there is no fucking way he got hand of a completely identical quirk. Not to mention that you two both have very similar strength enhancing quirks" Bakugo continued.
"Enough Bakugo. Let her talk and there is no reason to curse" Aizawa said before looking towards Uraraka as she stared into the floor, speechless. "Uraraka, I've been an underground hero for a long time. I know how to read expressions. You knew something about this" Aizawa stated. "Yes" Uraraka replied. "Then would you shed light on why you had information on a villain and didn't tell me or any other heroes? Cause right now it seems like you've been conspiring with Deku" Aizawa asked. "I-it's complicated" Uraraka stuttered.
"I should probably get All Might" Uraraka said and stood up and began walking towards the door. "Ochako Uraraka. If you step out of this room before I say so, you will be expelled on the spot and I will not hesitate to arrest you for conspiring with a villain" Aizawa said loudly, making Uraraka stop in her place. "Then can you get All Might to come here? I left my phone in my room" Uraraka asked. "I fail to see how this has anything to do with him" Aizawa replied.
Bakugo then had a look of realisation "He gave you his quirk didn't he" Bakugo stated. Drawing the attention of both Aizawa and Uraraka. "How did you find out?" Uraraka asked. "I've been suspecting it for a while. First Deku manages to transfer quirks. Then the guy All Might fought at Kamino could take and transfer quirks. And all of a sudden, you can use super strength. Not to mention the other quirks that has popped up. It becomes pretty fucking obvious after a while" Bakugo explained. "Is that true Uraraka?" Aizawa asked. "Yes" Uraraka replied. "Alright then. I'll call All Might" Aizawa sighed.
Toshinori knew Aizawa didn't make a call without a good reason. So when he called and said it was about Uraraka's quirk, he got worried. He then arrived to an annoyed Aizawa, grumbling Bakugo and ashamed Uraraka. "Good, you're here. Could you please give me a good explanation for why my student and a villain both have your quirk" Aizawa said, clearly fed up with everything. "And don't try to weasel your way out of this" He warned.
"So let me see if I got this right" Aizawa sighed. "You have a quirk that stockpiles power and can be passed down. And you decided to give this quirk to one of my students without informing me?" He asked sceptically. "Well, Nedzu approved of it" Toshinori said meekly. "Nedzu's approval has as much worth to me as your concern over student safety" Aizawa retorted harshly. "Anyways. Deku also manages to get his hands on your quirk. And you still don't tell any others except for a chosen few when this information could have been vital to taking Deku down" Aizawa said. "Tsukauchi works on the investigation" Toshinori mentioned. "One person can't see every possibility Yagi. That is why we have teams of investigators on this case. You should know better" Aizawa said, making Toshinori shrink into his chair. "And if that wasn't enough, this one for all also stores the quirks of the users which now both Uraraka and Deku have access to. And to top it all off, Uraraka and Deku have been sharing dreams for roughly two years now due an unknown reason" Aizawa finished.
"Is there anything I missed?" Aizawa asked. "Actually. Me and Deku, or just him actually. He found out why the dreams happen" Uraraka replied, surprising everyone in the room. "When did that happen?" Toshinori asked. "Just a few days ago. He found out from a former one for all holder. Essentially, the predecessors' consciousness ends up split between me and Deku, and it almost drove them insane. But the remnants of you All Might, remained whole within me. And your remnants connected me and Deku via the dreams so that the predecessors could be whole from time to time and gather their thoughts. Unfortunately, there is no way for us to fix that. And to be honest, we gave up long ago. Nowadays we just talk" Uraraka explained.
"You talk regularly with a villain? About what exactly?" Aizawa asked. "Well, about life in general, things we can agree on and the nature we walk through. I'm sorry but a lot of it is private, between me and him. We sort of-" Uraraka said before Bakugo cut her off. "How is he?" He asked. "What?" Uraraka wondered. "How fucking is he!? I've knew him for a long time. He might act all high and powerful, but I can see it in him. He is hurting. I saw it when he visited…" Bakugo said before trailing off. "His mother's grave?" Uraraka suggested, making Toshinori slightly flinch. "Did he tell you?" Bakugo asked "Yes. He seemed very dismissive of that" Uraraka replied
"As for how he is mentally. It's difficult. Sometimes he can seem like two completely different people. Not exactly split personality, but more like two different mindsets he switches between. One is Deku, the unhinged maniac who you fought today Bakugo. But he can also be calm, cold and calculative, plotting how to best destroy society. Then, sometimes, he becomes Izuku. He still believes in his revolution, but at the same time he becomes the smart, caring, happy and motivated kid he was before his mother died. He usually becomes like that when he thinks about his mother or takes care of Eri" Uraraka explained. "Wait, Eri? The kid we tried to save from Overhaul?" Aizawa asked. "Yeah. Deku tricked Overhaul and saved Eri from him" Uraraka replied. "Define saved" Aizawa said. "Don't worry, she's doing fine. She is smiling and Deku has kind of become her adoptive father" Uraraka said with a smile.
Aizawa had a look of suspicions for a moment, but it quickly disappeared, and he leaned back into his chair. "Alright. I think it's best if we just gather our thoughts an discuss this further tomorrow" Aizawa said. "And I think it goes without saying that not a word of this leaves this room" He added. "Of course" Toshinori said and began leaving the room with Bakugo and Uraraka. "Actually, Uraraka?" Aizawa called out. "Yes?" Uraraka replied. "There is just something else I need to discuss with you" Aizawa explained. "Okay" Uraraka said and sat back down.
Once Toshinori and Bakugo had left the room, Aizawa leaned forwards and his face became very serious. "Uraraka, there is one thing you haven't explained to me. And that is why you have needed to leave the campus three times a week for-" Aizawa said and began shuffling through a few papers. "-personal reasons. Because I can't make sense of what that could be, in addition to you being the only student regularly using that reason. And considering how you described Eri, I would almost believe that you have met her since Deku 'rescued' her" Aizawa said.
"If I say that I meet Deku three times a week outside our dreams. Would you tell anyone else?" Uraraka asked. "That depends. But if you're afraid that I'll tell All Might and Bakugo, then don't worry. They are too personally involved with him as it is. As long as you tell the truth, I won't punish you" Aizawa replied. "Fine" Uraraka sighed. "I guess it started when I let Deku and Eri visit the culture festival during my first year. He had some quirk that makes you not focus on him, so nobody noticed him" She said. "That would explain why Hound Dog acted so weird" Aizawa mentioned. "Weird?" Uraraka asked. "He kept walking around gaining the scent of someone, then losing focus. He was just making growls at the end of it" Aizawa explained. "So, besides allowing a villain onto the UA campus, what else happened?" He asked. "Well, I ended up running into them when Eri remembered me and grabbed my attention. Making me notice Deku. We talked a bit and then just continued with our day" Uraraka explained
Uraraka then sighed before continuing her explanation. "Then Eri wanted to see me again. So me and Deku, or mostly Deku, bought an apartment and arranged for me and Eri to spend some time together. The troubles began when she wanted to see me again and again. And as I soon came to learn, it is difficult to say no to her" She explained. "I swear, that smile of hers is infectious" Uraraka chuckled. "So, just like a cat?" Aizawa asked. "Cat?" Uraraka wondered. "Yeah. They just keep on nagging you until you give them what they want. Usually food or head scratches" Aizawa explained with a hint of fondness. "I guess so. Anyways, after a just a few months I was spending time with Eri regularly. Deku isn't there, he just brings her to the apartment and comes and picks her up once we're done. Although, sometimes we end up talking a bit afterwards" Uraraka explained. "We don't share information or anything!" She quickly added.
After a moment of tense silence Aizawa finally said something. "I see. So you've grown attached to them" He stated. "What!? No, he's a villain. These meeting are just for Eri's sake" Uraraka exclaimed. "I thought I told you not to lie to me" Aizawa retorted, making Uraraka look down in shame. "Uraraka, there is no need to be ashamed. Many years ago, before I worked at UA, I too got attached to someone I shouldn't have" Aizawa said, grabbing Uraraka's attention. "It was supposed to just be a regular undercover job. I'll skip the details since they are classified, but in the end, a month-long mission turned into eight months. During that time, I came to know a villain who was working for the people I was investigating. He was trying to help his family and had turned to villainy after he lost his job in a hero fight. He was a nice man who tried to do the right thing for those he loved, but he killed innocents to achieve that goal. When the hammer finally fell down on the place, me and Present mic had to fight him. Due to my attachments I hesitated and Present mic got hurt. Only then did I manage to capture the villain" Aizawa explained, leaving Uraraka slightly shocked.
"The point I'm trying to make is that these sorts of things happen, and I won't judge you for it" Aizawa said softly. "Thank you" Uraraka said quietly. "On one condition" Aizawa added with a much stricter tone. "What is that?" Uraraka asked. "You will report any piece of information you get from Deku directly to me. Don't actively question him. He has shown that he smart, he will catch on. But if you learn something from him, and I mean anything. Even if it is when he eats breakfast, I want you to write it down and give it to me. I'll use the information in the investigation, but you'll remain anonymous, and you'll be allowed to continue your meetings with Eri" Aizawa explained.
"I can't do that Aizawa. Me and Deku promised not to reveal information to those around us, and he has kept his end of that promise" Uraraka protested. "Uraraka, I told you it is alright that you got attached to a villain, but remember that he still is a villain. Just today, he is responsible for 139 confirmed deaths so far, not to mention everything else he has done. Not telling me about any information you have on him is withholding evidence from an active criminal investigation. Which are not only grounds for expulsion, but also criminal charges" Aizawa said sternly. "Am I making myself clear Ochako Uraraka?" He asked. "Yes" Uraraka replied in defeat. "Good. I expect you to start writing down the information and giving it to me as quickly as possible. Of course, don't let it get in the way of your education or internship with Lemillion. That takes higher priority" Aizawa explained. "That is all, you can go back to your classmates" He said and opened the door. "Okay, I'll go and write down what I know so far" Uraraka said and walked out.
Once Aizawa had closed the door he pulled out his phone and made a call. "Shota, my man!" The energetic voice of Present mic replied from the other end. "Hizashi, I'm going to need you to follow and monitor Uraraka the next time she leaves campus. Don't let her see you" Aizawa replied. "Why? She's one of your strongest students. I'm sure she can take care of herself" Present mic asked. "She's taken a Mirage" Aizawa answered. "You know I don't like it when your students ends up like you, but this is on another level of copying you stupid. I mean, I still have the scar that guy got me" Present mic more seriously. "This is a lot worse Hizashi. She's taken a mirage, with Deku" Aizawa stated. "Oh my" Present mic said "That can't end well"
