"-I want my quirk gone"

"And why would the league ever help you?"

"Because I'm a student at UA"

It' been seventeen or so hours since the phonecall he'd made to the League of villains and they'd been very quick to be suspicious and make him prove that it was a serious offer and he wasn't some sort of double spy.

He had one task, one he suposed would be fairly easy considering his quirk- he had to steal the information about the upcoming first year hero course trip to USJ.

It was simple in theory, the league would cause a distraction with the press and create chaos in the hallways as everyone tried to evaccuate, then he could slip into the teachers longue undetected and snag the file sure to be around the homeroom teachers desk, all he had to do was read the file and relay the information after a reset.

Though as everything else, it was always much easier in theory.

An alarm sounded through UA, loud and blaring

'Warning level 3 security breach, please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion'

Izuku unlocked the bathroom stall he'd been waiting in and heard the commotion from the corridoors- he'd chosen one closer to the teachers areas, they wouldn't clog up the hallways like the mass amount of panicking students would and they'd soon all leave to move students along and make sure everything was going smoothly.

Izuku waited for two minutes before slipping out of the bathroom and looking down the hallway- nobody to be seen.

He started going through the actions he needed to, walking down the hallway quietly with ears straining to listen for any people who may be coming his way whcih was fairly difficult over the blaring alarm that really was starting to get annoying.

The teachers longue was in sight, he approached it and gently turned the doorknob- as he had expected they didn't lock it in the hurry to calm students down and make sure everybody was evacuating.

If it opened anything other than quietly he couldn't tell and glanced around the room before declaring it empty and entering, closing the door behind him.

His eyes darted around the various different cabinets and desks labelled with different teachers names, when he landed on 'Aizawa Shouta' which was in the far right corner he walked towards it slowly, looking back to the door every other second.

Just as he'd reached the desk and began looking on the desk for any information about USJ he turned to look at the door as a precaution to see the doorknob turning and it beginning to swing open- acting fast he pulled the chair at the teachers desk back and crouched under the desk, watching as one of the teachers opened the door and walked in

"Is anyone still in here?" they yelled over the alarm

Shit, he was going to walk over here and see Izuku under the desk and there would be so many questions- it was hardly a choice to reach into his pocket and brandish his usual weapon and turn it on himself.

He came to in the same bathroom stall he'd been hiding in a couple minutes ago and sighed quietly to himself, he hadn't even found the sheet yet and he could only hope it was actually at his desk and not under tight lock and key- the league had said that they were sure it was but could he really trust the word of villains?

'Warning level 3 security breach-'

Izuku blocked the alarm out as he checked his watch and waited eight long minutes with nothing but that blaring noise for company, as soon as it had passed he unlocked the door and walked out of the bathroom- checking down the hallway and see's nothing of the teacher that'd made him reset, at least he was out of the way.

He had walked down the hallway and had just reached the outside of the teachers longue when in his periferal vision came the last thing he wanted to see- Katsuki barelling toward him from across the hallway

"Izuku!" he was very out of breath as he neared Izuku and the other boy had half a mind to just bring out his knife and-

"Where were you? You said you needed the bathroom but then the alarm- why didn't you evacuate"

"I got lost in the people evacuating and shoved aside"

Katsuki grabs his wrist and starts pulling him along

"We better get evacuated before people come looking for us"

What Izuku really wanted to do was to pull away and reset right there, but he knew that doing that in front of Katsuki ended in him remembering more than he was supposed to.

He allowed himself to be dragged by Katsuki to the swarm of students and then back to lunch when the threat was ruled to only be the press. It was a long ten minutes of waiting for the chance to get away for ten seconds to reset, as soon as they got back to the lunch hall Izuku excused himself again, giving the excuse that the alarm had gone off before he'd actually been able to get to the bathroom.

Izuku resets without second thought and wakes up in the exact same place but twenty minutes earlier, it had been a little disorientating since he'd never reset and then woken up in the same place but he shook it off and carried on as he was meant to- waiting two minutes almost got him caught by a teacher and waiting eight got him caught by Katsuki.

He waits four minutes in the bathroom before slipping out and following the same hallway he has twice before, it's silent other than the blaring alarm that's really starting to grate on his nerves and he reaches the teachers longue.

He opens the door and looks around inside, after confirming it was empty he slips inside and closes the evidence he ever entered behind him.

This time he heads straight for the most right corner and starts rummaging through all the papers on the homeroom teachers desk- first test results, something about a class president election and then finally under a couple sheets meaningless to him is the information about USJ, a parental permission sheet detailing the time and place that USJ would take place-

Izuku slips a flip phone he was instructed to buy out of his pocket and dials the number etched onto his skin forever

"You got it?"

"Yes-"

Izuku relays the information of the sheet he's holding to the person on the other line who scowls audibly when he finishes

"This isn't good enough- we want to be shown a physical copy of the sheet not just information, it's not enough to make sure it's true"

Izuku is about to stuff the sheet into his pocket when he hears Katsuki calling his name over the sound of the alarm- he wouldn't have time to actually steal the sheet and leave, this was throwing his theory off.

"I'll try again" he says more to himself than whatever villain is on the other end of the line, he wastes no time in bringing out his trusted weapon and resetting, there's a blurry end of Katsuki entering the room and-

Izuku is back in the cubicle and uses the four minutes he has to re think his theory over- the league would cause a security breach with the press, he'd sneak into the teachers longue and get the sheet he knows the exact location of, he'll leave the longue with the sheet just before Katsuki comes looking and they'll evacuate together, he'll tell the same lie and nobody would suspect a thing.

Just as his last one, he knows that it is a lot easier in theory than in practise but hopes this is the last reset he has to do for the day, too many is risky especially at UA.

Izuku leaves the bathroom after four minutes pass and sets his mind to making it to the teachers longue- he barely gets ten steps before he hears his name being called and a Katsuki who is a good four minutes earlier than he's meant to be is running at him- a deviation was the opposite of what he needed as the alarm wound his nerves a little tighter, he really was not in the mood to relive ten minutes of evacuating

"Izuku! I've been looking everywhere for you, we should evacuate with the rest of the students- this alarm is giving me a real headache"

As Katsuki is dragging him along and they encounter the same teacher from the first time around an idea sparks in his mind- maybe Katsuki being early wasn't such a setback after all.

He waited for the call about it just being news people to be given and soon he and Katsuki were back at their lunch table, and just like before he uses the same excuse and resets in the same bathroom.

He wakes up in the same place and waits exactly two minutes before slipping out of the bathroom and walking to the teachers longue, keeping an eye and ear out for either people who keep getting in his way.

He makes it to the longue and enters quickly, he looks out of the small window on the door and when he see's Katsuki run by he ducks a little

"You should be evacuating with the rest of the students! I'll show you to the evacuation point" he hears the voice of that teacher and breaths a small sigh of relief- luckily the small deviation had been perfect for getting them both out of his way.

He walks to the desk he needs to and grabs the sheet right away, he's just tucked it into his pocket and turned to leave when the doorknob twists and he can see black hair in the window of the door from the other side, it's too late to do anything as the teacher he was just stealing sensitive information from is standing right there

"Why are you in the teachers longue? You should be evacuating with everybody else"

"I got pushed out of the hallway and got lost, I don't take classes in the hero section and don't know where I'm going"

Aizawa doesn't seem to believe that at all

"Come on, I'll show you the way"

As soon as his back is turned Izuku pulls out his weapon and resets, he is not going to sit through another evacuation today, in the few seconds before death he sees the teacher turn around and begin to-

Izuku is back in that bathroom, he'd literally had what he needed in his pocket and then-

He sighed a little, today was tiring and long and the alarm that had just started to go off was really not helping his mood.

After four minutes he left, entered the teachers longue, hid under the desk that hid him the most and waited- Aizawa entered the room and looked around for a couple seconds before leaving.

Izuku breathed a small sigh of relief to himself and got out from underneath the desk, quickly picking up the sheet he needed and putting it into his pocket after a couple of folds.

He kept a hawks eye on the door as he walked towards it and opened it slowly, quietly checking the hallways for people as the alarm finally shut off. He closed the door behind him gently and went back to that same bathroom he'd woken up in four times.

The phone rang twice before it was picked up

"Did you get the information"

"Yes, I have the sheet, nobody saw me"

"Good, we'll text you the adress to drop it off at"

After his tiny phone dings and he writes the adress on a piece of paper and tucks it into his pocket, he dumps the burner after snapping it in two- he makes a mental note to get a couple when he goes out that night.

"Izuku are you in here?"

Izuku puts on his best and unlocks the cubicle

"When I didn't see you in the evacuation I was worried- where did you go?"

"I did evacuate just with a different group, I came back here to get my bag"

Katsuki's expression changes from tight worry to calm acceptance, it's almost too easy to lie to him since he seems to believe whatever he wants to hear

"Ok, well we better head back to lunch- and maybe stop into recovery girl because my head is killing me, I think it was that alarm"

He continues to make light conversation and Izuku is hyper aware of object in his pocket, maybe it's the ticket to getting exactly what he's wanted for years, to think one little sheet of paper could be the answer to all his prayers when he'd spent so much more time testing over and over and over again for nothing but failures to be made.

On some level he's aware that Katsuki is eyeing him a little weirdly with his brighter than usual demeanor but he is too caught up in the thought of being free to care even a little if Katsuki knows something is up- he has before and yet he won't leave, Izukus killed him and he's sure Katsuki has to know that something was up and yet he stuck around, he knows it will take much much more to make Katsuki give up on his hope, and a tiny part of him is curious as to just how far he can push it, just how much he can do before Katsuki says 'enough'- killing him? Killing people? Hurting people? Dying in front of him so much?

It's a morbid thing to wonder what would break a person, but Katsuki has put up with so much whether he's aware of it or not that Izuku just has to consider what would break him- maybe he could test what he remembers? For how long? Test if he remembered it all, none or it at all or just tiny snippets of it.

Izuku was ever curious as to why Katsuki could remember, and if he would listen to that part of him that savoured the thrill of holding power then maybe he would let himself test it out
