avaxenakis: Dang right I did lol.
The bus was quiet until there were screams heard. The kids stuck in the dorms were shouting out questions, not knowing what was going on. They kept screaming but had no answer. The bus started to dissolve into ash as everybody got off and ran. The phone hit the pavement once the bus was gone completely.
They could hear muffled shouting, a voice that they didn't recognize. Then the video ended. They were all silent on the couch, shocked and so worried. Luffy's hands were shaking. "We… we should go and help."
He didn't hear Aizawa there anymore. Luffy said he was going to go help, and he dashed out of the building as fast as he could, hearing shouting at him to stop. But he wouldn't! His friends we there, screaming! He knew where USJ was. Not very far in his fastest speed. He zoomed down the street, faster than anybody could keep up with him but maybe Thatch or a flying quirk.
When he reached there, he saw a villain with hands all over him. The students weren't in view, but all the police officers were down. Not dead, but not conscious. Luffy said nothing as he jumped and flew into the villain with hands, maiming him with all his claws, cutting his all over his back, chest and arms and even his face, dodging his hands, knowing they were probably the main problem. He dug the claws in his arms and yanked, making him scream.
When he heard somebody behind him, he was gone too fast to be seen, sensing he had a warp power. Luffy was in the bushes, thanking being so tiny for once, as the main villain bled from many places, all over his middle, arms and face. His arms were limp. He was screaming about being unable to move either of them.
Luffy dashed to where he smelled and heard his classmates. Luffy's hands and claws were dripping in blood, leaving bloody tracks as he zoomed to them. He stopped when he saw all of them with All Might looking exhausted and many others in the same state. "Luffy?!" they shouted in shock.
"Are you okay?! The bad guy left!" he said, hurting over. All Might demanded to know why he was there, sounding genuinely angry, but still looking so tired. Luffy could smell something off about him, but he couldn't pinpoint it. Luffy said he got worried when everyone was screaming on the bus.
All of his friends and classmates looked so tired. Uraraka asked what he'd done, where the villain had gone. "I cut him up and he left with the warp guy," he said simply, showing his hands and claws drenched in blood. They sighed, and many collapsed or sat down. All Might said, if he really was cut up so much, then he shouldn't come back a third time.
Luffy asked if he used his hands for his attack. They nodded. "I cut them so he couldn't move them right now. So he can't use his hands right now," Luffy explained, panting from how much he'd run. He fell to his butt, too, and wiped the blood off on the grass beneath him. Kaminari asked if he'd run there.
The four armed, small teen nodded. He expressed he was really tired now. Rayleigh looked very disappointed, and it made Luffy feel bad. But he'd helped his friends, so that was all that mattered. He could get detention, he didn't care! A new bus came, this one not dissolved and hopefully staying that way.
Luffy was taken aside, and was scolded for being reckless. "But everybody else was fighting and needed help!" He must look like a little kid being scolded by his parent or teacher. Everyone was taller than him, after all. "You were in protection for a reason. We don't know if the situations are connected. Luffy, you could be in great danger now." Luffy's eyes widened and he put his hands over his ears.
He muttered he wanted to help, and was scared about them getting hurt. "That was noble, but you must think more before doing things like this," Rayleigh said, his voice no longer upset. But Luffy looked up at him challengingly.
"Even if I thought about it longer, I would have made the same decision," he said firmly, hands fisted, no longer on his ears for comfort. Rayleigh sighed, and said they were leaving for now. Luffy walked back to the bus, holding his own hands. He sat on the bus in the back, next to Zoro.
"We don't think you were wrong to come here to help," Kirishima said loudly. Much of the bus agreed. Rayleigh was sitting in the front but nobody cared. He didn't say anything about it, and Luffy couldn't see his face. He hoped that the teacher wouldn't stay angry at him for a long time. But he'd accept any punishment. He saved his class, and more importantly, his three closest friends.
He wiped his eye with the back of his hand, the furry spot. "I was so scared when everybody started screaming on the bus," he said quietly. Zoro smiled and said he didn't mean to scare him. He just dropped the phone at the worst time. When they got back to the school, they were taken into the auditorium. Everyone. When his fellow detainees came over, Law punched him hard on the head.
"You're an idiot," he said in a harsh voice. Luffy stood up tall, even if he was a lot shorter.
"I did what I had to save all my friends. You think I wouldn't have done the same for you?" he asked in a harsh voice before going to his best friends. Many were banged up, but only those with serious injuries were first taken to Recovery Girl. Nezu was there. All Might and Rayleigh were present as well, though both looked exhausted and beat up as well. Their outfits were ripped up, much like everybody else's outfits were. Luffy wasn't in his hero one, but it wasn't ripped up at all.
Nezu mostly congratulated them for making it against villains, calling them all strong and brave. But hoped they learned some things from this, anything helpful. "Something good must come out of it, even if it was terribly scary and traumatizing. Anyone who needs help due to trama, it will be available for free. We will be deciding about what to do from then on."
They were excused, and went to Recovery Girl. Zoro's hands were bruised badly. When Luffy looked at them in concern, he said that holding such powerful magnetic bursts had hurt his hands. He still had room to improve. Sanji didn't look hurt but for some cuts on his arms. His legs looked unharmed.
Midoriya was bruised in many places, and looked like he'd broken a finger, but not from is own quirk. Nobody looked happy. Even Zoro looked sad and worried. They all should be worried. They were targeted by villains. But Luffy heard they were waiting for All Might, their reason for being there. And he wasn't there? Luffy thought he was supposed to be. So maybe the kids weren't their targets at all?
Well, Luffy probably made a big enemy. But it was to help his friends. Who knows what would have happened? Even the teachers were exhausted. Luffy liked to think he was helpful, but maybe he wasn't. He drooped, holding his hands together.
"You were really helpful, Luffy. Don't let others say you shouldn't have been there," Sanji said strongly. Luffy said maybe he shouldn't have gone. But then those around him who had been there, all of them roughed up and heading to Recovery Girl en mass, said he was helpful. He should have been there. Luffy was still feeling down, and his front hands went back over his ears, while his middle arms held hands.
Law walked up next to him, and apologized. Luffy said he forgave him. Maybe he was stupid and reckless, but he didn't regret it. He had no injuries, so he just went with his friends to get fixed up. They were in a line since there weren't enough beds for them to all fit in the infirmary. Those who hadn't gone with them were there, comforting their friends.
After everyone were healed, they went home. Luffy continued to stay in the dorms, and called his brothers to tell them what had happened. He wished they weren't mad at him, and was so happy when they weren't. But they told him to be very careful and aware of his surroundings. He nodded, saying he won't let bad guys get him. Never. He was too fast to let anyone do that. He did wonder if he should have changed forms. But being light and small kept him on the guy's back easily.
So he stood by his choice to use his normal form. At night time, Luffy was on his laptop, watching random movies that were free and shitty, Law knocked on his door. He knew it was Law, and told him he could come in. The lights were off in his room, only the bathroom light on to let some into the room.
Law sat down against the wall. Luffy asked what was wrong, sitting up. "I feel bad about insulting you earlier." The smaller said he'd already apologized, and he'd forgiven him. "I shouldn't have said that to a friend."
"It was worry, right?" Law nodded, looking awkward. "Well, I'm not mad. I was a little before because Rayleigh got mad at me, too, and I really like him. I don't want anybody angry about it. I feel like I did something good. Maybe not good for me, but for them all," he said honestly. Law said he wished he'd gone, too. "You're not fast like that."
The white spotted furred teen looked so ashamed, reminding Luffy that he could fly. He had forgotten about that. So, Law could have come. He asked if he'd thought of that at the moment. "No. It didn't even cross my mind."
Luffy replied, "Well, it's not like you purposely decided not to help, right?" Law sighed and nodded. "I can't tell you to not feel guilty, cause I felt guilty, too. But we can move on. And if those bad guys come again, we can all take 'em out together!" Luffy said confidently. Law said he hoped they wouldn't be attacked again.
Then he looked at the necklace, and wondered how long they had to wear them, how long they had to stay there. Luffy said he wasn't sure. And he wanted to go home to his mom, but was afraid to risk hurting her. If something bad happened because he was home. He looked at the double mattress.
"Even this bed feels too big. I bet they gave us queens because we don't know how long we'll be stuck here," he said. He laid on his stomach, still facing where Law was. "You know, we should come up with a name for ourselves. Since there nothing like us but we both look similar." Law looked curious, but said he had no ideas.
Luffy said he didn't either. Most animals weren't named after how they looked. "Except sloths," he amended. He took his phone and downloaded a random word app. It would just choose random letters that could be words. So, he pressed it with a fingered claw. He only had his pointer fingers in their fleshing glove fingers.
"Faup-ta," he said. That was the first word generated. He tried again. "Aou-ro-no. I kind of like faupta." Law said he was fine with it. "Then our quirks could be named 'somthing faupta'. I know there is a guy who looks a lot more normal than use with four arms. Only his arms all come from his shoulders. Not two from his shoulders and two from the middle back. I could be 'black faupta' and you are 'spotted faupta'."
Law stayed quiet through his tangent. He said it sounded silly, but a lot of quirks could sound silly. "That's fine. We can start writing that as what we are, and maybe it will catch on. It sounds unique." Luffy smiled and nodded.
"Then it's decided," Luffy said firmly. "I do wonder if there are others that look like we do. It's strange to have two like us in the same place, y'know? Though I think it would be cool for it to be just us. Original but not all alone."
Law nodded, much less of a talker than Luffy was. Then he looked at his computer's clock. It was getting pretty late. Food was brought to them from the cafeteria. "We should go to bed," Luffy said, Law agreeing and leaving the room. "Night, Law."
"Night," Law said, and left the room. Luffy changed into his pjs, which were just shorts. He stood on the step stool to brush his teeth. Nothing was sized for him in there. There were big bath tubs, very big for Luffy. After all, some people had quirks that made them larger, like Shoji. So Luffy had a very nicely sized tub.
He closed the curtains and went to bed, setting his phone's alarm and falling asleep quickly.

Two days later, one day as a break for all but those still confined, Luffy got up to go to school and noticed a lot of construction going on. He took his headphones off and looked around, seeing buildings bigger than theirs built. Luffy frowned, wondering what was going on. He hurried to class alone, early so he could speak to Reighley, who wasn't there when they woke up.
He only stayed at night. And hadn't spoken to Luffy since being at USJ. He walked on his back legs to the main building and took the elevator up to the right floor. He found Rayleigh not in their classroom, but in the teachers lounge. The door was big so All Might could fit through. As well as other large staff members.
The black faupta knocked on the door way, getting Rayleigh's attention. Luffy was relieved that he didn't look angry. He walked ot him, backpack still on and with one set of hands holding the straps. "How are you, Luffy-kun? Are you feeling alright?" Luffy nodded, and looked down.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry about my attitude. I meant what I said, though I'm a little worried now about it, but I feel like I was rude," he explained. Rayleigh surprised him by him apologizing. He said that he was snappish, but was only concerned about him being on his own when there were villains around.
He assured Luffy that he was not angry, but didn't want him to go off on his own again. Luffy frowned, but didn't agree. Instead, he said he wouldn't be stupid, and would only do anything if it was a big, big emergency. "That's as good as I think I will get," Rayleigh said lightheartedly. Luffy smiled, really liking him.
"Oh, it's kind of silly, but Law and I made up a name for out quirks. It's just a made up word," he said kind of nervously. He didn't want it to sound stupid, but Rayleigh gave him a patient and encouraging look. "Faupta. F-A-U-P-T-A. I'm the black one and Law's the spotted one."
Rayleigh said he thought it was good that they made a name for their quirks. They were quite the unique ones.
The bell rang, surprising Luffy, not having thought he was there for so long. "I'm glad you found something like that. There are many whose quirks are just beyond recognition of anything in the world before them." Luffy nodded and the two walked to class together. When he entered, he saw many looked just tired. Those who had been at the villain attack.
Luffy felt okay, not having been there for the worst of it. All Might came in, too, with Rayleigh. They all looked up, looking so tired. "Two days from now, students will be moving into the dorms. We visited your homes yesterday, and shall be moving your belongings into your rooms the day the dorms are finished."
The black faupta didn't understand why nobody said anything. He looked at Zoro angrily, who had a look of realization on. "Sorry, I forgot you were already here," he said quietly, sounding ashamed. Both Sanji and Midoriya's shoulders slumped. They forgot, too, most likely.
All Might continued. "Those already in dorms will be moved to the new and improved ones. The classes will all be in the same dorm, with private rooms and bathrooms. There will be a kitchen and common rooms. It will be as comfortable as we can make it." Luffy felt bad for them but happy for him about this. He would have the rest of his friends there! Luffy looked to the side and saw Law looked slightly disappointed.
Well, he wasn't good with people in big, concentrated groups. And it will be noisier. So it made sense he was a bit bummed. "From then on, you aren't allowed to leave campus unless you get permission from a teacher," Rayleigh added. "Your safety is of the upmost importance."
After that, normal class continued. During lunch, Luffy told all he could about his and Law's self-made names. Nobody thought they were stupid, were glad they had something to call their quirks. It made Luffy happy they approved. Those few were still wearing the necklaces, but would not be alone anymore. Well, without their closest friends.
School resumed like normal again, and hero training class was not anything physical that day. It was analyzing what had happened and going through their steps of what they could have done better, or safer. Luffy thought it was kind of mean to bring it up, but they all looked determined to do this.
Luffy's was short. He had attacked with his claws, but his improvement would have been to use his bigger form. Though that would have given the bad guy more of an area to grab. So he was unsure about that. Those who weren't there were going through what they would have liked to do if they'd been there. How they would do it safely, get away efficiently.
Luffy's took minimal time, and he ended up doodling on the back of his paper. Once everybody was done, they turned in their assignment and went home, one of the last days of being home for most. Luffy missed his mom a lot, but didn't want to endanger her if he made a big enemy. But, after dinner, he was in his room on his computer again, researching paralysis of the arms. Wondering if he'd done that to the bad guy.
The places Luffy had cut were random, but he did rip up his skin. Dig his claws in and pull, ripping it open. And based on where he saw the cuts when he was hiding in the bush after maiming him, the blood was coming from important areas. And he was crying over his arms not moving. He wished he knew what happened afterwards, but nobody knows.
He did hope he'd made him unable to use his quirk to hurt anybody else. Would have nipped their little organization in the bud. The League of Villains, ruined before they could really even start. He would be happy for that.
Law didn't come that night, so Luffy went to bed a bit earlier, the buzzer necklace on the night stand next to his head.
-x-
Luffy's room looked like his old one. Even the walls were painted the same. And he was happy that sound proof boarding had been put on either wall shared with others. Across from him were Zoro and Sanji, while next to him was Law and Midoriya. It was nice, being with all his friends. He had a twin sized bed, because he didn't like how tiny he felt in the bigger one. More room, but more to remind of how small he was. Though his size had been an advantage against the bad guy.
Maybe his size could be something good! He could fit into more places, be faster. His family and friends were right about that. He didn't really know what he thought of it anymore. His feelings about it flip-flopped a lot. So, his room had photos on the walls, some posters of his favorite books, a big TV, a desk with a chair high enough for him to sit on, and his beanbag chair from his room at home. There was also a dresser of clothes along with the closet built into the wall. he didn't need a step stool for the bathroom counter. They'd thoughtfully made a step in front of the counter when building.
When they went around showing their rooms, they all looked very unique. Midoriya's was funny, though not surprising. So much All Might merchandise. Law's room was darker, a lot of the stuff black or dark gray. It was almost depressing. Luffy said it would be nice to watch movies in there since it was already so dark.
Then they got to his room, Bellamy for some reason was going around with them, and Bakugo was sleeping. Well, they needed one asshole apparently, but he wasn't welcome. When he opened his door, nobody commented on the furniture size but Bellamy. "Looks like a little kid's room," he said snarkily.
"Well, I am little, so… what's your point?" Luffy asked, earning some snickers. Bellamy didn't like his attitude and asked why he'd be proud of being little when nobody would take him seriously. Law kicked him in the nuts from behind, making him bend over and face plant into the wall. Everybody just moved to the next room, ignoring the pained bully. Law said nothing, too.
Once they were all done judging their rooms (Luffy's not winning anything), they got used to the kitchen. Sanji loved to cook, so he offered to make a lot of the meals. Luffy grinned, glad to have someone like Sanji making all of his meals. Makino was a wonderful cook, but Luffy didn't like her making extravagant meals. Not because they didn't have the money, but because he wanted her to do things other than "mom duties".
The couch was big for Luffy, whose legs didn't touch the floor when relaxing them. It was fine, they were comfortable. Over all, Luffy was happy with the new arrangements. He got to be around his friends, now, and wasn't so lonely. The room wasn't cold and uncomfortable. He missed home, but this was much better than the previous dorm set up. Nobody saw what Rayleigh's room looked like, but it was nice knowing he was there.
