Katsuki, Izuku and even Present Mic had the next two days off. All Might had did his best to convince Aizawa to let him take Izuku home but he was shot down without hesitation. Izuku had made it very clear he wasn't willing to talk to anyone about his problems and if he wasn't going too, he would stay at UA.

That day had sent Katsuki into a semi permanent bad mood that even Shouto gave him space. He continued to had fits of anger and screaming incoherent things about Izuku. Nothing was on the news about it yet and Katsuki was told to keep quiet about what he saw. He was on lock down at UA too.

Aizawa had directed Hitoshi try to stay with Izuku since he was his only friend to make sure he didn't spiral further. The purple haired boy had a general idea of what happened to Izuku's parents but he didn't know the exact details. No one but All Might knew what horror the young boy went through.

Toshinori had told Nezu, Shouta and Hizashi of course so it was no surprise he lost it seeing Heatwave. The thing with Heatwave wasn't as brutal in terms of how his father died but it was pretty bad. Shouta wasn't trying to hurt Izuku further but he felt like he needed a healthier way to deal than working himself into exhaustion.

All Might couldn't help but agree more.

"Izuku."

The green haired boy rolled over in his bed to look at his friend.

"Let's go to Recovery Girl."

He blinked. He didn't understand.

"You had accidentally cut your arm on glass on top of your burn so I think that would be best. I don't have to stick around but I think you should go."

Izuku laid there staring at the wall for a few minutes.

"Alright."

"Awesome! Get changed!"

Shinsou left him alone while he changed. Izuku picked out his All Might hoodie to cover his face and blue shorts. He wasn't in the mood to really care what he looked like as he slipped on his All Might slippers too and headed out of the room to be greeted by his friend. He gave him a gentle pat on the back and they started walking through the dorm area.

Izuku looked up for one moment to see Shouto standing there. They locked eyes for a few seconds before he pulled his hood over his eyes. They were out and headed for the school. Shinsou knew she didn't leave until seven at night just in case anyone got sick. He shot Aizawa a text of where they were going just in case he went looking for them.

"Hello boys! What can I do for you?"

"He's just has some lingering burns and a new cut from some glass."

She frowned, "When did this happen?"

"The burns was from last week and the cut is from yesterday."

"Take off your hoodie and lay on the bed. I'll have to clean it up before I try healing it."

"I have to go take care of a few things," Hitoshi said with a smile, "I'll pick him up in an hour. I know he needs time to rest."

"Yes. Goodbye."

Izuku stared up at the ceiling.

"So, Flamethrower's son huh?"

Izuku's head snapped to the side.

"I've read your file boy. Don't look so surprised."

He didn't say anything. She began soaking his fresh cut so she could clean it out properly.

"I can imagine that things have been rough for you lately."

"Yea."

"I know about Stain. I heard what he did to you and your family."

Izuku swallowed hard.

"Y-yea," he choked out.

"There's no shame son. I know how hard it is."

He looked at her.

"Really?"

"I'm a healer and I've seen people die. A lot of them have died in my arms too. Friends and foes alike. It's never easy when it's someone you cared about."

Tears gathered in his eyes.

"I... I didn't do anything. Just stood there... I didn't even do anything to help Heatwave either."

"Well, from what I understood at the school you were in, you didn't do those things until your fifth year. I even have to say with Heatwave she was in bad shape anyways and most heroes haven't come across such brutality often."

He said nothing.

"I cannot fix mental problems but it's obvious you have PTSD. You need to see someone-

"NO!" he yelled jerking from her.

Recovery Girl gave him a glare. He turned away shaking. Her expression softened some and she reached over, pulling his arm lightly.

"Come back here."

"I-I don't want to see anyone."

"Then just talk to me."

He turned around.

"What happened at the robbery scene?"

"I had a flash back. I saw my mom laying there again."

Izuku swallowed hard.

"Sometimes traumatic things come back whenever they want... even with simple every day activities. It doesn't make you weak. In fact, it's an unfortunate edge you have over other children. When something happens, you can assist them."

He looked thoughtful for a second.

"Ok."

"It's not easy being a hero."

"I know."

"Your father kept himself on the down low. His death was never mentioned in the papers. I assumed he would've wanted it that way."

"That sounds like Dad."

"I know young Shinsou is your friend. I think it would be best to confide in him once in a while. I know Toshinori, Shouta or Hizashi are there for you too. You'd be surprised to know but Toshi had lost someone close to him too. He had watched her fight to the death. It may be something he isn't ready to tell you but just know, he knows how you feel too."

"I had no idea."

"He smiles a lot but he just wants other to feel better. You remind me of him. He never wants to burden the world with his problems."

Izuku didn't say anything.

"Feeling pain isn't weakness. Hurting mentally isn't either. Trust in your support system and take baby steps. One day you'll get there."

She kissed his forehead and his arm healed up.

"Why do I feel so tired all the sudden?" he asked blinking his eyes.

"My quirk speeds up your recovery time but uses all of your energy. Go ahead and sleep a bit."

He nodded slowly and was out.

Izuku dragged himself back to the dorm where everyone was at. He messaged Hitoshi and told him he would be fine going back alone. He needed a little time to himself but that feeling was short lived when Bakugou stopped him when we close to the doors. He looked angry and Izuku just wasn't going to deal with it right now. He didn't have the mental strength to do so.

"Deku."

Izuku stopped.

"My name is Izuku Midoriya, not Deku."

He went to walk by him but Bakugou pushed him back.

"I'm talking to you!"

"What do you want?!" he snapped.

"You're a real piece of shit! You don't belong here! We are heroes to help people, not the type to break down and scream like a fucking lunatic!"

Izuku rolled his eyes and went to go by again. Bakugou grabbed his shirt and slammed him against the brick wall. Black dots danced across his vision.

"You need to leave! I don't see what All Might even sees in someone so fucking pathetic!" he yelled.

"It's none of your business!"

"Isn't it? What? You got in just because you're related to Aizawa?!"

What? Where did he get that idea?

"What-

"You called him 'Uncle Shouta.' The day of the paper test!"

Izuku fell quiet.

"You're the biggest fucking loser to ever step foot here!" Katsuki screamed, "Get the fuck out of here!"

"NO!" Izuku screamed back, "I belong here just as much as you do!"

White flashed before Katsuki's eyes and he was sent flying into a nearby bush. Izuku fell into a heap on the ground. Aizawa stood there with a pissy look on his face.

"Bakugou, what have I told you?" Eraserhead said his voice filled with fury, "You need to stop harassing others."

"Why the hell do I care about what you say? He's only here because he's related to you!" Katsuki snapped, "He got in here the easy way!"

Izuku looked at the ground. He didn't try to stand up.

"Whatever you think you know, keep it to yourself. Midoriya got here through recommendation. Didn't your boyfriend come in the same way?"

Bakugou growled at him.

"Whatever."

The blonde boy stormed off the UA grounds onto the sidewalk.

"Are you alright-

"No! I'm not alright!" Izuku yelled as tears ran his face.

Wow, that's a new reaction.

"I'm tired of being told I'm weak!"

Aizawa watched as Izuku wiped his face.

"I've messed up but I'm not weak! I'm not and I'm going to prove it by beating his ass and his boyfriend's! At the same time!" Izuku screamed, "I can prove myself!"

A grin appeared on Shouta's face, "Oh really? At the same time?"

"Yea, I can and I'll do it in front of the whole school too if I have too!"

"That's some big talk from you. Are you sure you're up for the challenge?"

"Yes I am!" he yelled.

"Alright. I'll keep that in mind. I'd like to see you prove yourself, Problem Child Number Two."
