Chapter 1: Green
An exclusive report.
Authorities have officially stated Allmight's death.
After three months of investigating his sudden disappearance, our police force as well as pro-heroes couldn't find any trace of our former Symbol of Peace. Thus, concluding that he has gone away from public to have his eternal rest privately.
We mourn for the sudden loss of our beloved hero, Allmight.
Next on our evening news, heroes' and civilians' sudden loss of quirks. On this, we have Kiriko-san's interview with our new Symbol of Peace, Deku.
[ Deku-kun, how are you doing? I've seen you in the news all the time. By the way, it has been a month since they have announced Allmight's passing. We're all here at UA to pay our respects. I just hope you're doing okay... text me back? ]
Ochaco held her phone tight. Closed it without sending the text message. There has been about a hundred messages, contained in a folder named My Freckled Idiot in her phone. She stopped sending him messages a year after they have graduated. It was as if the Deku just enclosed himself, trying so hard to do what he was tasked to do.
"Deku-kun, you idiot. Where have you been gone to?"
"OY! Ochaco!" a voice echoed in the silent corridors of UA.
"Ah, Bakugo-kun. Is everybody in the Commemoration Hall now?" Ochaco asked as she walks toward Bakugo Katsuki, now known as Number One Hero -- Ground Zero.
"They're here," he answered, "but...not everybody," his glance then drifted outside the window.
"I see..." Ochaco replied looking at the ground as she and Katsuki walk side by side, "do you think..." she was cut-off when her phone buzzed.
Quickly, she looked at her phone, hoping it was her Freckled Idiot who managed to at least send her even a simple 'hello'.
Katsuki could only look at how flustered Ochaco was upon opening her flip phone. She hasn't changed it; it was too sentimental of her -- she got to call Deku using that very phone after the Hosu incident.
[ Ocha-neechan, Deku-nii is here in the hall. - Eri ]
"He's here... he's really here!" Ochaco squeezed her phone close to her heart. She started to shed a tear as she ran out of the corridors going to the Commemoration Hall, leaving Katsuki behind.
"Damn, Deku..." Katsuki walked slowly with one hand inside his pocket and the other scratching his head.
"Midoriya-kun how have you been?" Iida Tenya asked the green-haired hero. "Why sit alone?" he added, placing his plate of food on the table.
"Ah, Iida-kun.. Sorry, I was just... lost in thoughts. Might have been the things happening lately." Midoriya Izuku, better known as Deku, responded.
"How come Ochaco's not sitting with you? You guys were inseparable since UA," Todoroki Shoto asked as he joins the two heroes in the table.
Izuku glanced at the brown-haired girl who was sitting beside Asui Tsuyu and the other girls of Class 3-A.
"She seemed fine..." he thought.
When their eyes met, he immediatly avoided hers.
"By the way, Midoriya," Shoto, breaking the silence in their table, "about the other heroes and civilians losing their quirks... was it the same as when Shigaraki Tomura got all the quirks for himself?"
"But... is that even possible? His league wwas already apprehended and were all in jail. And we all saw it, Midoriya-kun already defeated Shiguraki Tomura. Shiguraki... ended his life after using his own quirk." Tenya answered, waving his arms as usual.
"I still don't know yet," Izuku responded, "I have already notified the police force to work with other Hero Agencies to find clues about it, but I haven't heard any -- "
Before Izuku could finish, Katsuki dropped folders on the table.
"My agency's been monitoring incidents of people losing their quirk since the day you got interviewed. Hagakure and that damn of a pervert Mineta has been investigating a lot these days. Look. If you want to, we could all work on this. Together."
Everybody was speechless.
Never have they imagined THE Bakugo Katsuki will be working with Midoriya Izuku.
"Somehow, you're a bit out of character, Kacchan. I accept the offer, though." Izuku smiled as he looked at the files on the table.
"Since we just all got together, why not take this job all together, too?" Ashido Mina enthusiastically suggested.
"LET'S DO IT!" Kirishima Eijiro yelled, as all Class 3-A agreed.
"Just like the old days..." Ochaco thought as she looked at Izuku, who was smiling like he was still a student in UA, while the class gathered around him and Katsuki.
