After an hour of explanation, the four of them were allowed to leave, but with one rule. They were not allowed to tell anyone about the real purpose of the program, not even their parents. Izuku was concerned about this. He was terrible at keeping secrets, especially from his mother. How would he keep this a secret?
As all four of them were riding the elevator back up, the reality of what they were just told set in. Not only were Aliens real, but they lived right here in Japan under the disguise of humans with mutations. They had just been recruited to join an organization, the plumbers, that protected these aliens as well as fight against rogue aliens who threaten the planet. The whole thing sounded like a movie. Fourteen-year-olds fighting aliens, was that even legal?
"Well, that certainly was one hell of a wild ride" Kirishima said with a smile, finally ending the awkward silence. The rest of the group nodded. He summed up the experience pretty well.
"Sure was" Jiro sighed as they entered the lobby. The receptionist waved at them but didn't say anything as they passed by. They now found themselves outside the front of the building. Izuku checked his phone. It was 4:45 pm, almost time for dinner.
"So, that watch on your wrist, the Omnitrix, lets you transform into one of ten different aliens, each with its own set of powers and skills" Uraraka asked inquisitively, trying to get a better look at the device. She looked like she was trying to get the pieces of everything together in her head. Izuku obliged and rolled up the sleeve on his jacket, exposing the strange watch for all to see.
"Yeah, although I've only transformed six of the ten so far. That leaves four more forms to transform into. I wonder what their like. I'll have to experiment with them at home..." The rest of the group were left stunned by Izuku's ability to mumble. Even Kirishima, who had heard Izuku mumble before, stood in awe. He began to list theories he had of the four other forms judging by the way the silhouettes looked and how they could be used in hero situations.
"It's a very useful device for someone like me who doesn't have a qui..." Izuku, realizing where that statement was going, stopped abruptly and covered his mouth.
"I'm sorry, were you about to say, 'Someone like me who doesn't have a quirk'?" Jiro's question lingered in the air for what felt like an eternity. Izuku glanced at Kirishima before sighing. Welp, too late.
"Y-Yes, I'm quirkless" Izuku looked away embarrassed. He couldn't believe he let that slip.
"Wow dude, that must really suck" Jiro was the first to break the tension.
"Aww, I feel really bad for you now. You probably get a lot of hate at school for it" Uraraka gave a sad look.
"Yeah, I get picked on quite a bit. Most people just ignore my presence all together" Izuku sighed, relieved by their words. This was the second time his expectations had been wrong about people judging him for being quirkless. Sure, they gave him looks of pity, but that was it. No being a jerk about it.
"People can be such jerks. Luckily, I was raised to respect people, regardless of their quirk" Jiro looked off into the distance, a slight look of irritation in her eyes.
"Exactly!" Kirishima agreed. Uraraka nodded to agree with both of them.
"Thanks guys!" Izuku smiled. However, something else was bugging him now. "Hey Uraraka-san, Principal Nezu said something about you being rescued by an alien hero. What was that about?". The brown-haired girl seemed lost in thought for a few seconds before answering.
"Well, I was rescued by someone three years ago following a kidnapping incident. I never realized they were an alien until now when Nezu-san said it. I don't remember much detail about it or even the name of the person who saved me. It all happened really fast" She admitted to the group.
"You were kidnapped, and an alien saved you! That's insane!" Kirishima was the first to say anything. Both Izuku and Jiro nodded in response.
"Yeah, my life went a bit nuts that day..." Uraraka gave the understatement of the century. "...Hey! I just thought of something! Let's exchange phone numbers!". She excitedly got out her pink flip phone. The rest of the group got out their phones without much hesitation. Since they were apparently a team now, they should at least share their numbers. Izuku was ecstatic.
"I finally have a girl's phone number! Amazing!" The rest of the group laughed lightly at Izuku's enthusiasm.
"Well, I probably should get home. Mom will be worried" Kirishima said, checking his phone. It was 5:00 pm! Wow, time flies. The other teens seem to get the hint and begin parting ways with Izuku and Kirishima going one way and the girls going the other.
"What do you think of them?" Aizawa asked as he watched the group of four part ways on the monitor. They seemed rather cheerful, smiling and waving at each other.
"They seem like a lively bunch" a new voice answered. It belonged to a woman, who looked to be in her forties, with orange hair and green eyes. A man, her husband, with black hair and black eyes, trailed behind her slightly.
"Don't forget, Gwen, we used to be like that too" Gwen nodded. Back when they were a team with Ben, they really did some stupid stuff. However, many times, they did save the world, so the stupid things were often forgotten about.
"I know that, Kevin. Oh, to be so young and reckless".
"Now, you're just reckless".
"Kevin!".
Aizawa sighed as he watched the couple stare each other down. He knew he'd have to get involved in the middle of this dispute before anything bad happened.
"What do you think of the new wearer of the Omnitrix?" The words made them focus again, thankfully.
"He's got a lot to learn, that's for sure" Kevin was the first to answer. Gwen nodded in agreement.
"Yes, but I do see potential in him. I think he'll make a good hero, like Ben was" Both Gwen and Kevin smiled at the thought. This world better get ready for the power of the Omnitrix.
