Syllabus in hand, Dick ran towards Green as he walked out the entrance of the school.
"Hey, Green!" he shouted, Green turned around, clearly confused. Dick ran over and asked the other, "So, how's the finger?" he gestured towards the others bandaged hand. Before Green had the chance to respond, Speedy ran up and asked the same thing. Only, he did it more politely.
"Oh, it's doing fine now thanks to Recovery Girl." Green responded before beginning his walk to the exit once again, but this time with two people beside him. Once again, he looked down at his injury, thinking.
"I was bit concerned about Mr. Aizawa's approach to class today, but U.A is the top program in the nation. However lying-" Dick cut Speedy off before he could finish his thought.
"He wasn't lying." The other two looked at him, confused.
"At least, not at first." Dick continued.
"Of course, he was lying!" Speedy began to wave his arm up and down like a robot, "How else would none of us be expelled!?"
"Look, Speedy," Iida squawked at the nickname while Midoryia winced, "he probably changed his mind. The whole thing was about 'potential'" here Dick used air quotes, "right? So, what if we all had potential, but he thought we wouldn't."
Green agreed with him, "Yeah, you're right! Mr. Aizawa seems really serious about hero-work. I don't think he'd let someone who wasn't cut out for it to stay at U.A." Dick nodded, that was just what he had been thinking.
"But, why would he do that!?" Speedy shouted once again, "We all passed the entrance exam somehow so we all belong here!"
"He doing his job. What kind of hero would he be if he let someone who was going to be killed immediately become a hero?" Dick answered.
Speedy glared at him, "If that were true, you wouldn't be here." Dick glared at the boy, and out of the corner of his eye he noticed Green wincing as if he were in pain.
'That guy has some issues.' He thought, 'I wonder why?'
"I just mean that you don't have a quirk." Iida backtracked, Midoryia's reaction to is words going unnoticed, "If you went up against a villain you wouldn't stand a chance."
"Hey! Wait up you three!" Zero-G, or Uraraka, shouted as she raced after the group of boys. "Are you going to the station? I'll join you guys!"
"Saved by the bell." Dick mumbled, still shooting metaphorical daggers from his eyes.
"Oh, you're the infinity girl." Speedy noted, sweating slightly.
"I'm Ochaco Uraraka!" She introduced, "Let's see…. you're Tenya Iida, and you're Deku!" She looked at each of them as she said their names, or in Midoriya's case his nickname. When she got to Dick, she paused, "I'm not to sure what your name is. Sorry, but you were way impressive during the physicals." She scratched the back of her head.
"Dick."
"Huh."
"Don't be rude, you shouldn't call other people names!" Speedy yelled.
"That's my name, jackass. It's short for Richard."
The trio were surprised, "You want us to call you by your first name, but we've just met." Her cheeks turned pink. With a shrug of his shoulders Dick attempted to reassure them, "Don't worry about it, I hate my last name."
"Oh, okay." Dejected she turned to Green.
"So, uh, Deku it was pretty cool how you threw that ball, uh?" She attempted to bounce the conversation back into a more comfortable place.
"Deku!?" Green shouted.
"Yeah, isn't that what Bakugo called you during the fitness exam?"
"Uh, yeah but that's the name Kacchan calls to make fun of me. My real name is Izuku Midoryia." He muttered.
"That un-sportsmen like," the blue haired boy commented.
"Yeah, but Sparky is an ass, so it fits." Dick commented.
Zero-G looked guilty. "Oh, I'm sorry." She perked up in an attempt to cheer up the other, "You know what, I like Deku!" She proclaimed, "It could make a great hero name! Plus, I think it's kinda cute."
Blushing Green shouted, "Deku it is!"
Both Iida and Dick looked at the other boy with confusion.
"What? Just like that? But I thought you said it was an insult?"
"Damn Green, you have it bad for Zero-G. Speedy's right though, its still and insult so why're you using it?"
"Paradigm shift!" He covered his face with his hands, still blushing at the compliment the girl gave him.
"Zero-G?" Uraraka asked, oblivious to the crush the other obviously had on her.
Dick nodded. "Yeah, Zero-G. Your quirk makes it so you can float things hence Zero-G. It's why I call Sir Goody-Two Shoes," he pointed at a, once again, flusted Iida, "Speedy. And I would give Green some other nickname besides his hair color, but I don't think you'd appreciate Broken Bones Jones?" He elbowed the blushing boy besides him.
"Just call us by our names!" Speedy ordered.
"Nah." Dick turned around and began walking towards the train station, "Come on you slow pokes!" He shouted behind him. "You don't want to miss the train do you?"
A common thing in this story will Dick's quirkless status. My plan is to have the other students, and some of the teachers, eventually accept the fact that he's not going anywhere but there will always be opposition to him being a hero as it goes against the 'status quo' of only the people with the 'flashiest' quirks becoming heroes.
This chapter is way shorter than the last one but the next couple will probably be a bit longer. Leave a review if you think something doesn't make sense or you just fell like it!As always, thank you for reading!
