As Izuku was finishing his training with Momo, who had arrived much sooner than Izuku was expecting her. She ended up startling him quite badly (he had Momo focus on multitasking over anything else, creating objects quickly would be a bonus but nowhere near as great as fighting while creating, they made some progress. Momo was capable of creating a couple of paper clips while Izuku was attacking her with all he had, minus the quirks, he was honestly expecting it to be half-formed or incorrectly created items this early in her training but the paperclips were perfect. Baby steps would pay off eventually.)
But then Eraserhead appeared to call him to the staff room, meaning that Izuku would have to delay the next training session.
"So, erm. What is this about Aizawa-sensei?"
"Just Aizawa, or Eraserhead. I'm not your teacher anymore."
"Ehehe," Izuku laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly "So. Am I in trouble?"
Eraser slowed down and narrowed his eyes at Izuku over his shoulder "Why would you be?"
"Erm... I don't know?"
"Pft, well, you're not. We just need to discuss things with you at length."
And so the rest of the walk to the staff room was spent in silence as Izuku tried desperately to figure out why he was being called already.
Any worry Izuku had was not alleviated by the fact that every staff member's eyes were on him as Eraser opened the door.
"Problem child's here, take it away." Aizawa grunted as he took his place in the corner, zipping himself up in his yellow sleeping bag.
"Midoriya." All Might, in his less muscular form, started.
"Y-Yes!?" Izuku said, stiff as a board.
"Calm down, young man, we're just here to discuss the more mundane parts of hero life with you."
Izuku gave the blond man a quizzical look.
"Namely the issue of a hero agency."
Izuku stopped fidgeting, stopped doing anything in fact.
He was completely still with a blank look on his face.
"Y-You forgot didn't you?"
A slow nod.
Followed by light-hearted laughter of the various staff members (and annoyed grunts from the hero turned caterpillar in the corner of the room).
All Might just sighed.
"We already talked it over a little, assuming that you did forget to organise anything. And we came to a few conclusions. You could either make your own agency like Hawks did, or you could join one of the agencies we manage or are involved with. To prevent you from being taken advantage of by shadier characters."
A moment of contemplative silence for Izuku. Running through both options, simulating different situations.
"I don't think I'd be capable of doing the same thing Hawks did, he's more of a prodigy than me when it comes to this I just have a grossly overpowered quirk. It'll probably be better to join one of your agencies... I-If none of you m-mind that is." Izuku exclaimed, flustered, waving his hands around his head.
"Well, you heard him." Ectoplasm said.
"Normally we'd be fighting over you right now, Midoriya, but we've already agreed who's getting to keep you." Midnight responded.
"That would be me!" All Might said in his muscle form.
"W-W-W-W..." Izuku tried to form a coherent sentence but failed miserably.
"Great, now you broke him, we told you to be more gentle with the news." Midnight deadpanned.
"Hahaha! He'll be fine! Isn't that right, young Midoriya?" All Might said simultaneously slapping Izuku's back, which somehow managed to fix his overheating brain.
"B-B-But you can't take me in! I'm just a rookie hero, All Might!"
"Who said I can't? I'm taking you in, you'll get along nicely with my sidekick, I can already tell he'll like you."
And so the conversation was done and Izuku now belonged to an agency.
However the gears didn't quite click in his head. Not enough to realise how big of a splash this would make in the media, All Might rarely accepted heroes to his agency, definitely not ones who were as eye-grabbing as Izuku. The youngest hero, who managed to effectively ace his hero license exam.
The media were going to hound the two of them for a while.
Oh boy...
Sorry about this being so short, I just wanted to get this half-finished chapter somewhat 'done'.
I don't really wanna write the rest of this arc right now since it gets preeeetty hype so I really have to be 100% there for it and with my GCSEs going on (formal qualification in the U.K), despite my lack of studying, I'm not really 100% here so I'll write the rest of this whole shitfest when I'm prepared to really go for it.
It is going to be 2 arcs overlapping (one manga only so far) so yeah, pretty hype, the other arc is Hero killer. Although I'm gonna do it in a different way, possibly.
Sorry for my inactivity as a whole, I'll try to get a little bit done here and there and post when the chapters are a little longer. Altho that won't apply to this fic since it needs more care and attention, I'll prolly do some of Pantheon's exposition and maybe finish that almost finished second chapter of Eternity. No promises.
I'll be back soon, after these next two weeks of exams I get a few months worth of break so I'll use some of that on writing.
Thank you to anyone sticking around despite my inactivity.
