Chapter 24: The Black Queen

The classroom was divided into small groups of friends, talking amongst themselves hyping up the upcoming sports festival, and hyping up themselves, and our trio was doing the same. Kaminari was the loudest between the three, but he wasn't talking about himself, rather he talked about Izuku. Praising him and telling him how he stood out

"Izuku with his bravado and posing can easily steal glances from the heroes even if [ZA WARUDO] is not visible! And not only that! Whenever he uses his real ability it always ends with him having a bigger bravado." He looked away for a moment, lost in his mind before looking back at Izuku and back to the ground. "I wish I could stand out like that"

Jiro quietly looked at Denki feeling sympathy for his friend, however, it didn't take long before she took action. She railed her arm back and punched Kanimari on the shoulder.

"Yo! What the hell was that for!" he rubbed his arm ferociously as the tingly pain spread all across his arm. Jiro rolled her eyes.

"It's not like you don't stand out yourself man!" Izuku nodded agreeing with his friend. "You have one of the strongest quirks in this classroom, in my mind, you are in the top five of the most powerful quirks" She looked around the classroom and kept ongoing. "Midoriya, Todoroki, Bakugo, you and Momo are in my list." Denki started to look up thanks to the words of his friend. "I don't know how you think shooting lighting from your body isn't cool, even if I call you Pikachu, it doesn't make it less cool or less powerful." Denki chuckled at that last comment

"Thanks, Jiro, I really needed to hear that."

"Anytime, dude."

After a hyped Uraraka later. Everyone finally decided to get food before time ran out. As Izuku and his friends walked to the cafeteria they were intercepted by the Underground-Hero and Homeroom teacher, Aizawa

"Midoriya, I'm going to need you to come with me for a couple of minutes"

"Of course Aizawa sensei, but may I know why?"

"You're not in trouble if that's what you are worried about but we cannot discuss the reason with your friends around" Aizawa turned around and started walking away. "The faster we get this over with, the less break time you're going to spend."

"Hey Denki, please save me a plate of food." Izuku walked away with Aizawa.

"Don't worry I got you!"


Izuku followed Aizawa into the teacher lounge, Izuku sat down on a chair while Aizawa sat in front of him on a couch while drinking coffee from a cup. After sipping a little from his beverage he put his cup down on a long black coffee table that was in between him and Izuku.

"Midoirya I'm going to cut to the chase and ask you something, I want you to answer with complete honesty otherwise…" Aizawa stared down his student letting his gaze tell everything that was needed to be said at that moment.

"Yes, sensei"

"Good. Let's get straight to the point. Midoriya how are you connected to the villain who attacked us?"

Izuku felt his blood turn cold, he felt the gaze of Aizawa on him weighing him down. He started to think, what should he do? Should he tell the truth? A lie? Or stay in the middle? He tried his best to think of an answer. It's way too late to say "I don't know" waiting for more than a couple of seconds ruled that option away, he finally decided on what to say.

"I believe the man who attacked the school used to work with my dad while he was in America."

"So you know him through your father?" He took another sip from his coffee allowing the effects of caffeine to do their magic.

"Not really know him, all I know is that he used to work with my dad until they went their separate ways when my dad came back to Japan." He tried to keep his cool to the best of his abilities.

"Is that all you know?"

"Yes sensei"

Aizawa nodded in approval, "You're not lying yours and your father's stories connect without faults." Midoriya sighed within his mind otherwise this would be over. Aizawa left the couch and walked over to his student. He got closer to his ear. Izuku felt sweat build up. Finally, Aizawa whispered.

"You're a good kid, with the heart of a hero, that's is for certain, I know that something is going up, but I won't tell anyone, be more careful in what you do, the same goes for your friend. Now I want you to act normal while leaving this room, he is looking at us" He felt his heart stop for a moment, his stomach felt sick. He needed to stop time. He gasped for air while his hand reached his chest(1) He let some of the stress out by exhaling fast and hard (2) and finally got back into position and exhaled one more time (3). Aizawa patted his shoulder and moved away from his ear. "You can go eat with your friends now, sorry to waste your time Midoirya."

Izuku stood up and smiled at Aizawa. "It's okay sensei, I know you're doing this for the safety of everyone." with that Izuku walked away from his teacher. Aizawa watched as Midoriya left and once the door closed behind him, he looked at a camera located underneath the coffee table.

"What a problematic child, I already have enough on my plate."


Izuku sat beside Denki and started to dig in his food. Denki, however, took no time and quickly asked Izuku what happened. Sadly he did not get the answer he was hoping for at least not right at this moment.

"I know you want to know really bad, but this is something I can't speak of in school, this has to do with my part-time job, with Himiko, you know?"

Jiro dropped the fork she had in her hand, thankfully her ears were able to catch them in time.

"Oh shit," Denki whispered. "This is serious". He took a bite of his food and tried to change the subject. "Hey, have you noticed that everyone in our class is still looking at your arm?"

Jiro facepalmed as some students of class A, who Midoriya wasn't even aware that they were looking at him, avoided his eyes.

"Now I do."

Finally, the bell rang and the class was over, Everyone started packing and the first one ready to leave was Uraraka, she opened the door and in surprise yelled, "What's going on here!?" A bunch of kids from other classes were blocking the door stopping everyone from going out.

"Yea, come on! You're blocking us off! The electric type-idiot of the class yelled.

"They are checking us out, we were the ones that survived the villain attack, they are measuring us up before the school festival," Midoyira grabbed his backpack and stood on the right side of Denki.

"And still you don't look that grand" The crowd of students started to be pushed around and from within, two kids emerged. One with blonde hair and the one who stood out the most with purple hair. "Don't you agree, my dear Shinso" The student known as Shinso rubbed the back of his neck, shook his head, and said nothing.

"You guys are the talk of the school! And I bet that all of you feel all-powerful right now" The blonde kid sounded as if he were on some type of stage, and his melodramatic movement added to that feeling

"Look asshole! You don't know what happened there!" Yelled kaminari.

"Pssh, you look just fine, I bet those guys were nothing but some petty thugs, that's the only way you guys were able to do anything"

Denki gritted his teeth.

"Monoma" Shinso finally spoke but was ignored by his classmate.

"Look at you, so pathetic, you can't even counter-argue what I just said."

"Monoma"

"I wager all of you are weak! And just act tough to become popular."

"Monoma"

"My friends got hurt, asshole! One of them almost died too!" Monoma simply smirked

"What? Was the villain too scary for your little fri-*SMACK!*" Monoma's face twisted as if something slapped him across the face.

"Monoma! Rethink what you said, Don't let your jealousy get the better of you again." Something in Monoma's head snapped. He looked at Kaminari and at Midoriya, and quickly got on his knees and apologized. "Please forgive the words that came from my mouth, sometimes my brain gets the best of me!" Denki didn't know what to say.

"Uhh, you-ah-are forgiven?" Monoma got back to his feet.

"Thank you!"

Shinzo shook his head once more. "You were so over your head you didn't notice the green-haired kid was ready to send you to the hospital with his quirk"

Monoma looked at Izuku but he was just standing there menacingly.

"What do you mean? He is just standing there"

Midoriya was the first one to realize what was happening.

"You are a stand user!"

"He is!?" Denki and Jiro both asked.

"A stand? Is that what he is?" A purple humanoid creature appeared beside Shinzo. It had an athletic built but also robotic but what made it even weirder, it looked as if it was made off multiple purple tentacles.

"So that's what he is? [HIEROPHANT GREEN] is a stand."

Out of nowhere, Izuku had a small notebook in his hand and a pencil that was moving by itself at incredible speeds to everyone except Shinso.

"Got it! Hierophant Green has been added!" He showed his notebook to Shinzo.

"How the hell were you able to draw me and my stand in just a couple of seconds and so realistically!"

"Sorry can't say! Got to save it for the festival!"

"Wait, I want to know more abou-"

"Come on kids time to go home, you can't stay here any longer" Cementoss showed up and told everyone to leave.

"But I need to know more!"

"Sorry, rules are rules,"

"NEXT TIME WE MEET YOU WILL ANSWER MY QUESTIONS!" Shinsho yelled as he and Monoma and the rest of the students were moved by Cementos.

"I WILL!"


They were approaching Izuku's home and the streets were empty, it was finally time for Denki to ask Izuku what happened.

"Aizawa knows, he knows I'm Dio, he knows who Dread-Locks is"

"No fucking way, but how?"

"That's the thing Jiro, I don't know how he knows"

"Just give it some time, I know Izuku can figure that out."

"That I promise Denki, that I promise" They finally made it to the Midoriya family apartment Izuku opened the door and walked in along with his friends. The sound of fast but small steps echoed in the apartment and they got closer and closer until finally, the maker of the sounds revealed themselves as a cute red-eyed girl.

"DAD!" The little girl hugged Izuku's leg as if her life depended on it. Izuku got on one knee and picked her up. Eri no longer had her bandages and she now was wearing a white short-sleeve dress and a red pinafore with two gold buttons on each side of her chest. To finish her look she had a green heart pin on her hair.

"Hey, Eri! Sorry I was a bit late! Something happened at school and I took a bit longer than expected" Izuku smiled at her, she tried to smile back but couldn't. Her face showed a hint of sadness something that Midoriya could not let happen. "Hey, it's okay If you can't smile just yet! Remember to just keep fighting until we get there ok?" Eri determinedly nodded. "That's my Eri!" Izuku turned around with Eri in his hands. "Well Eri, I want you to say hi to my friends ok?" Izuku put Eri down allowing her to introduce herself.

"Nice to meet you both, My name is Eri, Eri Midoriya" She politely bowed.

"Oh my God! She is so cute!" "Nice to meet you Eri, you can call me Jiro" Jiro bowed too.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Jiro"

"And you can call me Uncle Denki!" Kaminari reached for his backpack and from within he pulled out a simple caramel apple that was sealed by plastic. He kneeled close to Eri and handed it to her. "I heard you liked apples and I bought you this on our way here! This is a million times sweeter than a normal apple!" Eri was in awe while she looked at the apple in her hand, a small trail of saliva appeared on the side of her lip that she wiped away with her sleeve. She looked at her dad asking if she could eat it without saying a word. Izuku nodded a yes. She pulled apart the plastic and took a bite, that was all it took for her to reach the clouds, and for a small second her lips tried to go upwards but in the end, they went back to a neutral position. Something that Midoriya noticed

"Thank you so much uncle Denki. This is so good. She opened her arms wide and hugged her newfound uncle. Denki's heart grew three times that day.

"My pleasure! Next time I'll bring you an even sweeter caramel apple!" He gave the widest smile he could possibly give

"Really?" Eri kept on trying to lift her lips but still couldn't

"Uncle Denki promises!" He raises his pinky finger to signify that a promise was made.

"Yay," Eri took another bite of her apple savoring the sweetness of Kaminari's present.

Izuku looked around the living room looking for Himiko "Hey Eri where is your mom?"

"She is sleeping right now, we were watching cartoons, and she fell asleep" She pointed at Izuku's room. "She has been sleeping for'' she turn her hand into a fist and started lift her fingers one by one starting from her pinky until she stopped at her thumb, "five hours"

"It's almost 7, I guess Himiko stayed awake with Eri for most of the night" the five of them sat down and decided that it was finally time to relax. "Let's leave Himiko alone, she needs her sleep" Izuku turned the T.V on letting Erii to watch her cartoons.

"Yo Izuku? Can you pass me your stand notebook?"

"Sure"

"I want to see how this guy's stand looks like" Izuku threw his notebook at Denki who caught it with one hand. He flipped through pages until he found Shinzo's page. "Well, that thing looks cool? Don't it?" Jiro who was sitting to the left of Denki extended her arm with an open palm. Denki put the notebook in her hand.

"Shinzo? Wasn't that the name found in most of the arcade when we got attacked by..." After taking a quick glance at [HIEROPHANT GREEN] she went back a single page "[BORN THIS WAY]?"

Izuku tilted his head in thought "You're right! I guess he was there during the attack. Users tend to attract other users."

"These stands keep popping left and right" Denki ruffled his head. "And they're also super terrifying! How many do you think there are?"

"I don't know, hopefully not many" Izuku said as he looked out the window as the sun started to set and the night started to enter.

The moon was high in the sky and the streets became quieter, people hurried back to their homes as the chances of facing a villain became greater, some others kept on going knowing that there will always be someone there to help them.

*Splash* was the sound made by someone stepping on a puddle. "Dammit, and I just got these new boots" He blew a cloud of smoke after taking his cigarette out of his mouth. "What to do? What to do?" He talked quietly to himself while navigating the alleys of the city. He flicked away the now used cigarette, and put his hand back in the pocket of his black unzipped hoodie.

"Hmm, a new tv? Or a new set of boots? Tv it is I do like these boots. Now where to get money? Bank? Criminals? CIvilians? Or Heroes?" He kept on walking not sure on what to do. *Splash* He stopped mid-step and turned around.

"Criminal it is" He pulled off his hoodie finally letting his short gray hair feel the breeze.

"Hey pretty boy let's make this quick, give me all the money you have and that necklace on your neck, and maybe I'll let you go easy."

"Funny, I was just about to say the same."

"What?" The criminal raised an eyebrow.

"Look, man I'm just like you, except for the clothing, you look like an extra acting in a movie as a thug with the white tank top full of holes and all '' The criminal growled.

"Well consider this alley your grave." With that said metal spikes erupted from his body.

The young man chuckled. "That explains the holes, Tonight was not your night." The criminal rushed like a rhino trying to kill a predator. Once he got close to his prey, It vanished. The man full of spikes stopped, he looked around but found nothing. He suddenly felt something touch his neck. He quickly spinned around while using his spiked elbow to attack, however it hit nothing but air.

"Where the fuck are you!?" The criminal yelled as he reached for his neck, for some reason it felt like something was on it. When he touched his neck he felt scared, what he felt was metal, a part of his neck turned to metal. "What the fuck did you do?"

"It's my quirk, whatever I touch will turn to iron if I want it so." The voice came from across the criminal but there was no one there.

"However this part is not part of my quirk." The criminal's spikes were forced back into his body.

"Wha-what's happening?" The rage in his voice left, he trembled in fear. His legs started to shake but not because he was scared but because the spikes in his knees were forcefully pulled out. It did not stop there though, as they kept on being pulled until the bones that were connected to those spikes came out in an explosion of blood, He dropped to the ground and he tried to yell in pain, but those screams were muffled as staples were formed in his lips and they closed his mouth shut. He tried to open his mouth with his own hands, scraping some skin off his mouth. He felt the force of a punch hit him on the cheek and got sent to the ground.

"So know that you're on your knees, I'll give you a chance to live, give me everything you have and I'll let you go." He finally showed himself again. He was sitting on the ground right beside the villain.

The criminal pulled all the cash he got in his pocket, a watch, his phone, and the necklace he had.

The black-hooded man looked at his loot and sighed.

"This is nowhere enough for a new Tv, and you call yourself a villain, how pathetic" The criminal tried to crawl away, but the silver-haired man grabbed his leg and turned it into iron. The villain could no longer crawl as the weight of his leg was too much and most of his strength was now spent.

The grayed hair man stood up and got in front of the villain. The now half-metal man looked up in horror, he looked at those dull blue eyes. " I was going to let you go but what you had was not enough to satisfy me." He got on one knee. "Sweet dreams" The palm of his hand touched his head, slowly turning it into metal, in one moment of adrenaline the villain was able to open his mouth one last time to let his agony out. His head finally turned completely into metal and dropped dead.

The killer walked away from the body as he pulled another cigarette. "Time to find someone else" He pulled a lighter out of his pockets and lit his cigarette, he let a cloud of smoke out. But his nicotine break was interrupted by someone. "Stop right there criminal scum!"

He chuckled. "Oh, how nice of you to come to me, I'll make it quick just for that."... TO BE CONTINUED
