It was finally Saturday. Izuku's first time out patrolling the streets like a real hero. Even with Present Mic beside of him, he was nervous. He kept getting weird looks from the others in his class because he needed someone to be with him and it seemed no one connected the dots that he didn't have a hero license.

Hizashi was a little annoyed because he had one other student. Izuku was easy to get along with but Aizawa had stuck him with Bakugou too.

I wonder what I did to piss him off. He's going to hear about this when we get home later tonight.

"I can't believe I got stuck with Deku. Even that mind control freak would've been better."

"At least Shinsou has a cool quirk," Izuku said.

"What the fuck did you say-

"Boys, enough. We have to work together. What if there is a villain nearby?" Present Mic said with an uneasy smile.

This isn't going to be easy. It's already like pulling teeth.

"So we have to cover twenty blocks by three pm and then write a report?" Izuku asked.

"Don't you know how a patrol goes? What's wrong with you?" Bakugou snapped.

Hizashi sighed and stopped, "He came from a public school for heroes. Every hero school is different. That school was a five year course where UA is a three year one."

"Whatever."

Why did Uncle Shouta do this to me? To Present Mic? I get I have to work with others but this is ridiculous. All he's done is complain for the last ten minutes. At this point I would take Shouto and his weird staring over this.

"Taking notes?"

Izuku looked up at his teacher and nodded.

"I know we are supposed to look out for suspicious stuff but what else should we look for? I know you're not allowed to tell me the answers and such but I've noted twenty different things since we started and I'm not sure if they're relevant or not."

"Well, I can't tell you that either. I'm sure Aizawa will get a kick out of everything that you have so far! Let's just keep walking and you can pay attention to everything you can."

"Dumbass."

"That's funny coming from the third top student of the class."

"You shithead-

"Alright! Let's turn this way!"

Two hours had passed and they still had three more to go. Izuku had filled up ten pages in his little notebook. He had to listen to Bakugou insult him under his breath still calling him that name Deku.

"So, Bakugou, what's your hero name?" Izuku asked.

"Why the fuck does it matter to you?"

"Hitoshi had informed me everyone had named themselves already. I was just curious."

"I don't have one yet."

"Oh."

"The ones I had picked out were rejected."

"I'm not trying to be a smartass but were any of them containing the word 'murder' in them?"

For the first time ever, Izuku saw a smile appear on Katsuki Bakugou's face and it was beautiful. It wasn't a creepy smile or anything like that either. Hizashi looked mildly surprised by this too.

"It might have."

Izuku started giggling and Katsuki blushed. He looked away quickly trying to pretend he was pay attention to something else but this interaction wasn't missed by their teacher of course. It was a little unusual for Bakugou to be civil to someone else other than Shouto. He didn't say anything though, he didn't want to ruin that small moment of peace they had.

They reached block fifteen when the three of them heard a familiar ringing sound. Bakugou had a devious grin on his face.

"I that an alarm to some place? Did someone break in?" Izuku asked.

"Damn right it is! I can't believe some action finally!"

"Let's tread carefully. You never know what might be there waiting for us."

Izuku nodded.

Present Mic, Katsuki and Izuku broke out into a sprint. Izuku lagged behind because he wasn't allowed to engage unless he got permission from Uncle Hizashi and he wanted to see how things were done. He didn't want to mess up a crime scene or get in the way of a fight.

All he knew for sure was he was nervous.

As they got closer, the alarm was louder. It was shrill and almost hurt his ears but Izuku did his best to ignore it. It almost seemed impossible but there was a few sounds louder than that alarm- it was screaming. It was a bloodcurdling scream that Izuku recognized immediately... It was because he had sounded the same way with Stain.

Just thinking of Stain's name was enough to hike his heart rate and blood pressure up. Why would he be thinking of him now? It was because of the screams that reminded him of his own that night. The same screams he did his best to repress through nightmares he had. He felt all the heat leave him body, making him shiver and feel cold.

Why of all times... why now?

Bakugou had turned around like he sensed the air around Izuku change. The boy's normal color had drained from his face and even his freckles looked like they had disappeared. He almost looked like he was deathly ill and Katsuki was close to telling Present Mic they should leave him behind but Izuku continued pressing forward trying to fight through it.

What the fuck is his problem? He can't be that nervous.

The scene that fell before them as they looked through the broke window was horrible. Present Mic motioned for them to follow him inside without saying anything and they followed. It looked like there was jewels missing but it look more burnt with broken glass everywhere. Some lady inside was screaming and they could hear a kid crying.

"Fuck," Bakugou hissed.

Izuku couldn't hear him over the pounding of his ears.

There were blue flames still flickering here and there but nothing more. It was definitely caused by someone's quirk. Present Mic heard a faint moaning as he walked around the counter to see a pink haired woman laying on the ground. Most of her outfit was burnt away and her hair was singed badly.

Her eyes fluttered open to reveal her dark eyes to be lifeless almost. There was something weird about the expression on her face. Bakugou came around the counter to see what his teacher was looking at and the color drained off his face. He had never seen... something like that.

"That's Heatwave."

Present Mic and Katsuki turned to see Izuku. He looked pale and sweaty.

"She's a powerful sidekick for Kamui Woods," he whispered barely loud enough for them to hear.

"Izuku, are you ok?" Hizashi asked, "This is too much for you-

"He's a hero in training! He has to get used to it!" Bakugou barked looking uneasy.

"You don't understand-

Izuku dropped to his knees, grabbing his his head pulling at his hair. He thought he could hear Present Mic calling his name but he was fading away from reality fast. All he saw now was the light fading from his vision like he was back in the alley way. His mind changed Heatwave into the image of his mother bleeding all over ground.

"Not again- was all Izuku choked out before a strangled scream came.

"You fucking idiot Deku stop it!" Katsuki yelled, starting to freak out a little

Present Mic pushed him out of the way and slapped his hand onto Izuku's mouth as soon it started to smoke. He didn't blame Izuku for his reaction. Hell, he saw the look on Katsuki's face. It wasn't everyday that they came across a live person that was burnt and almost naked... especially if it was a respectable and powerful sidekick at that.

"Call Aizawa!"

Present Mic tossed over his cell phone. He moved his hand off Izuku's mouth slightly when the scream came out. It was scary and it sounded almost like a wounded animal. Mic couldn't hear anything that his student was saying over the banshee like wailing coming from the boy's mouth.

Bakugou didn't know why he did it but he called All Might too. Maybe it had to do with what he heard but he was scared. The half dead sidekick and the wailing Izuku had produced was blood chilling. How could someone react so horribly to that...? It wasn't like she was dead but the screaming scared him.

It took another ten minutes for Izuku to calm down. All Might did show up and whisk the boy away without any argument from Present Mic. The voice hero rubbed his temples trying to calm his own nerves as his boyfriend Eraserhead came running in. He ordered Katsuki out as the police and other heroes showed up.

Hero Patrol Training was over.
