Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I do not own My Hero Academia. Only my brat of an OC belongs to me.
Warnings: Cuteness, bullying, Dadzawa, a hint o' All Might, inattentive hero students, little baby cinnamon roll Midoriya running about, etc(am I just making up warnings as I go along? Yes, yes I am.)
A/N: What's this? Three chapters released within the same week? Yup, though this isn't my normal scheduling for stories. I try to do them by a week by week basis (unless it's As Time Runs Out. I will get back to it! And possibly some of my older fics as well...). As of this week (1/25/19-2/1/19), there has been a polar vortex that has caused most of the state I live in to be put into a state of emergency and all the schools have been closed due to the weather. And let me tell you, it is boring. So I have enough time to write.
Anyways a big thank you goes out to janus3997, ExtraordinaryPhantom, pokemansuperallstar, Kokoro-Sol, AmaltheaLuchiaAizen, MODdenial, Xx-ashes2ashes543-xX, animelove22, Ariette5, New Elements92, theLoverofAllThings, Flareblitz the God, TheGallopingCupcake, TentaiMahou98, devilhuntermistress, Sb2282490, Carayen, Russy Jayz21501, Uzumaki of authority, Blue-Dragon-570, Maximum Ride 12345, Melancholy's Sunshine, Deus Terran, UniqueSpeciesOfGabby, and clockworkreaper.
Now to reply to some reviews:
TheGallopingCupcake: I am glad you are enjoying the story so far! Yeah, once again I feel bad for the trauma that I put our cinnamon roll through, but things will get a little lighter...hopefully.
As for Asa's Quirk, I wanted to make it unique and also give a reason that he is destined to be a villain. I also wanted to give a reason for Midoriya to fear him when they meet once more. The only thing I am not sure of is whether or not Asa will be with the League of Villains or not. I have time to decide on that, but I feel like it will need to be addressed.
As for Dadzawa, he is very protective of his "son".
I hope that you like this chapter as well!
Now on with the chapter!
Walking into the halls of U.A., Aizawa led Mrs. Midoriya to the office of one he knew could help the little boy.
Knocking on the door, Shouta thought back on the events that led him to this.
Aizawa showed up pretty early for his shift to escort the Midoriya boy to school. His main goal was to see if there was more that he would need to work with the child on (or protect him from, Shouta thought to himself). Knocking on the door, Aizawa waited to be invited in.
Opening the door carefully, Mrs. Midoriya was relieved to see that the person at her door was the hero who had been so very helpful to her and her son.
"Oh, hello," Inko said with a small smile. "Come on in, please."
Aizawa returned the smile with one of his own, as he walked into the Midoriya's new home.
"I see that you both have settled in alright." The dark haired man replied. "That is good to see."
Inko made some tea and offered it to Aziawa. As she was readying to pour some for herself, a strange noise alerted her to something going on with her baby. Aizawa heard it as well and they both hurried to the boy's room.
Upon opening the door, Aizawa took survellience of the room (sheesh, how big a fan of All Might was this kid?). Noting that it was clear, he rushed over to the boy's bedside, where young Midoriya was thrashing about in a nightmare.
Could this be caused by what he has been through? Aizawa thought, trying to plan out his next move.
"I-izuku?" Mrs. Midoriya called, but it seemed like her son could not hear her.
Aizawa turned to look at the mother, a look of sadness crossed his face. His mind raced with how to help the boy. Know that it was a risk, the pro hero began to wake the boy.
"Midoriya," he called, carefully to gauge how the boy reacted.
He finally caught the slight movement of the 5 year old's head, as if trying to clear out the bad dream. Inko caught on and tried calling out as well.
"I-izuku, honey?" She called out gently.
A gasping sound, as if the young boy was forcibly slammed on the ground, came from him. This urged Aizawa to change his tactics.
"Midoriya, wake up!" He all but yelled this command.
Emerald snapped open with a scream. His heart racing, Izuku looked to see who had saved him from the nightmare. He could see his momma standing behind a man who was becoming all to familiar to him.
"E-eraserhead?" He stammered in confusion. "W-why a-are y-ou h-here, s-sir?"
Chiyo Shuzenji, or Recovery Girl as she was more well known as, was getting ready for her day. She silently hoped that none of the students would be stupid enough to wind up in her infirmary. As she was checking her medical supplies, a knock came at her door.
"Yes, who is it?" She cautiously asked. One could never be to careful when answering the door at a school for superheroes.
"Recovery Girl, its me," called out a familiar voice.
Opening up the door, Recovery girl saw that Aizawa was standing there with a small bleeding boy in his arms.
"Is this the boy that Nezu..."
"Yes, he is." Aizawa said curtly, interupting the older woman.
While normally, Recovery Girl would reprimand the man for his behavior. But one look at the state the boy was in and how his mother looked worried, she decided that now was not the time for such things.
"Bring him in and lay him, gently, on the empty bed there," she said, pointing at the freshly made bed.
Aizawa nodded and did as instructed, Mrs. Midoriya following him. Recovery Girl sighed. This was going to be a long morning.
"Are you the boy's mother?" She asked Mrs. Midoriya gently, knowing how stressful this situtation must be.
"Y-yes." Inko stammered in reply.
Recovery Girl took note of the nervousness in the mother's voice. She turned to Aizawa.
"Is this a Quirk related injury?" The nurse asked.
"They are older injuries that had begun to heal." Aizawa answered. "They somehow re-opened while the child was having a nightmare. I do believe it was caused by the one who originally gave him those injuries."
"I see." Recovery Girl replied.
As she carefully pulled at the boy's pajama top, which was stained fresh blood, Recovery Girl took note of the injuries that marred the boys skin and the bruises that had begun to fade.
"How long had this been going on?" She asked, redirecting her attention towards Inko.
"I am not sure," Inko replied. "It always seemed to happen whenever I wasn't with him."
Turning back to Aizawa, Recovery Girl knew what she had to focus on next. The healing of both mother and son. She knew that Aizawa meant well by being there, but she didn't know if she could get full answers from Mrs. Midoriya with him looming over the boy.
"Thank you, Eraserhead." The older woman stated, "You can head back to your classroom and your duties. If I need your assistance, I will send for you."
Aizawa knew better than to argue with the nurse. Nodding to Mrs. Midoriya, he left.
Now able to refocus her attention fully on Mrs. Midoriya, Recovery Girl needed to get more information.
"Now, when did all of this seem to escalate?" The older woman asked, concern filling her voice.
Inko thought for a moment.
"It all started when Asa first came to our home." Mrs. Midoriya recalled, "then after we found out that Izuku was diagnosed as Quirkless, it got worse."
"I see." Recovery Girl replied. "Thank you for your assistance."
Inko nodded, glad that the older hero didn't want to bring up any bad memories.
"Now, let's get your baby back on his feet, again." The nurse said with a warm smile.
A few days had passed and Izuku was ready to go back to school. His mother had told him that Mr. Eraserhead would see him off to school and would be by to pick him up after. Izuku was over the roof with happiness. After all, how many 5 year olds could say that a hero was helping them with school?
With a big smile beaming on his face, Izuku all but skipped his way to school with Aizawa right behind him. It made the hero happy to see the young boy so cheerful. It seemed like the nightmare that had tormented Izuku was far away.
Or so Aizawa thought.
His mindset changed when they got to the school.
"Hey, look!" A child's voice called out. "It's Deku!"
Izuku stopped, trying not to let Aizawa see his sadness. Some part of him prayed that Kacchan would not notice he was there.
He was wrong to hope.
"Hey, Deku!" Another voice called out. It was Kacchan. "Where were you? Teacher said that you had to stay in the hopital."
"Yeah..." Izuku meekly replied.
Aizawa was silent. He knew better than to let his anger get the best of him, but it bothered him that the brave little boy who fought to survive would be brought down like this. He was already coming up with a plan to help the boy. He would need Nezu's help though.
"So why are you back?" Bakugo asked, the flames of his Quirk flickered and popped in his hands. "Your mommy get tired of you, Deku?"
"N-no, Kacchan," Izuku replied, tears threating to spill. "Momma said I was all better and it was alright for me to go to school, especially when Mr. Eraserhead walks with me."
"Eraserhead, as in the hero Eraserhead?" Kacchan asked with a scoff.
"Y-yes..." Midoriya stammered.
"Why would a hero do that for you, Deku?" Kacchan growled. "You are nothing but a waste of time."
It was then Aizawa stepped up. He had heard enough to make his final decision. The other kids faces turned to awe as they saw a pro hero step up behind the one they called Deku.
"Midoriya, let's take you home." The Capture hero said.
"But..."
One look from Aizawa silenced the boy's protest. Reaching for the hero's hand, they turned and headed back to the boy's home.
After getting the okay from the boy's mother and Principal Nezu, Aizawa brought young Midoriya into Class 1-A with him. The students began to wonder who the little boy was.
"Aizawa-sensei, who is that?" The class president was the one brave enough to ask.
"This is Izuku Midoriya." Aizawa said introducing the young boy to his class. "And he will be joining us today."
A couple of the prospective heroes mumured amongst themselves. Why would their teacher bring in a civilian?
"He is also your assignment for today." Aizawa continued, with a devilish grin. "If you can keep the boy in this classroom all day, you will pass. The room is where it is safe and as heroes, you will sometimes need to keep the one you save in a safe area until the danger is over."
Half of the class felt a little cocky. This assignment would be easy. The other half knew better. Aizawa then put his attention on Izuku.
"Alright Midoriya," He whispered, his grin never leaving his face. "As soon as I leave the room, their assignment begins. I want you to give them a 'fun' time."
Izuku's face lit up as he thought of the fun he could have with these older kids.
The time that the class had with Aizawa flew. To keep himself busy, Izuku doodled while Aizawa taught. A few of the students kept their eyes nervously on both their teacher and the 5 year old boy he brought in with him. Soon it was time for their next class and Aizawa chuckled as he left the room. Midoriya saw his "guardian" leave, and as the students mingled with one another, the little boy ran out of the room. His screams of joy and laughter echoing in the halls.
"Um, guys?" A girl said, knowing that her classmates were not paying attention. "The little boy just ran out."
"WHAT?!" The entire class shouted and raced to the doorway, trying to find their charge.
Elsewhere...
Toshinori Yagi coughed, spitting up blood. Seeing the crimson liquid stain his fingers, he began to wonder how much time was left for the Symbol of Peace...
End of Chapter 5
A/N (p.s. edition): So that took a while to write.
This is now my longest chapter written. I tried to pack in as much information as I could regarding Dadzawa's growing relationship with Izuku. I hope you do not mind. I, myself, prefer long chapters as they give more meat to the story. But that is just me.
On to a minor detail: This chapter and the next one are the only ones that you will see the random unnamed characters that fill in for Aizawa's students and Izuku's classmates.
Thank you for reading!
