Chapter 39
I put my jacket on as I looked at myself in the mirror.
Today I was taking Uraraka on a date. Thankfully we had 3 days off until class started.
We were keeping it quiet so no one would try to spy on us.
We both agreed that Uraraka would leave first then I would sneak out.
Mina, Toru and Camie would have a field day if they knew, so we kept it on the down low.
My phone rang, signaling a received text message, I grabbed my phone and read the message. It was Uraraka, she was outside.
Opening the balcony door, I jumped down and landed on the grass, crouching.
I saw Uraraka walking to the entrance of UA. I ran over to meet up with her.
"Uraraka!" I called out and she turned to see me, she smiled as she wore a casual outfit, a pink shirt with blue shorts. "Deku! You ready to go?" She asked me as I rushed over to her.
"Yeah, come on." We exited UA without any of our classmates knowing… or so we thought
"You sure it was okay to just lie to them?" She asked me. "Would you have the three gossipteers hounding you?" I asked, referring to Mina, Toru and Camie.
"... Fair point." Ochako muttered as we made it to the train station and rode to the next city over.
"Keep quiet." Mina hissed as she, Toru, Camie, Jiro and Momo were wearing disguises as they were watching as Uraraka and Midoriya walked down the street from the edge of a building.
"Why am I even here?" Jiro grumbled as she scratched the wig she was forced to wear.
"Because you have super hearing." Camie whispered as the couple were looking at stuff in a stand.
"And why are you here, Yaomomo?" Jiro asked the Yaoyorozu heiress.
Momo blushed. "I was curious.." She muttered, embarrassed and a bit jealous.
Mina grinned wider as Midoriya got Uraraka a pair of star earrings, Uraraka was trying to refuse but Midroya seemed to insist as he already paid for it.
"Why are we even watching them?" Jiro asked as they sneaked around to follow the two.
"Don't tell me you're not at least curious about seeing two cinnamon rolls get together!" Toru hissed as she turned invisible and leaned out more to get a better view.
Jiro sighed. "There's no way they can't see us…" She muttered.
"They look too distracted to notice anything." Mina waved off, sure of what she said.
"Are they still following us?" Ochako whispered to me as she put on the earrings I just got her.
"Yup." I chewed on my lip as we made our way to get something to eat.
"How did they even know?" She wondered as she tapped her cheek, she thought she was careful.
"Toru…" I guessed with a shrug. "She probably saw us walking out together."
"Maybe.. Let's just go get some food." Ochako sighed tiredly.
Looking around, I then grinned as I pulled her with me. "Come on, let's lose them." I whispered as we walked into a crowded area and ducked into an alley, I used blackwhip to grapple us to the top of the building.
"Deku!" Ochako held onto me tight as I pulled us up. I leaned down and saw the girls frantically searching for us.
"Wow Momo is with them as well?" Ochako tilted her head in confusion as she saw our friends.
"Strange… come on." I nudged her as we walked to the other side of the roof and Ochako floated us down safely without anyone noticing.
"Thanks, now what are you in the mood for?" I asked as we walked out of the alley onto a not so busy street.
"Ummm.." She looked around and I knew that she was trying to find something cheap so she could help pay the bill. "You know I'm treating you right?" I reminded her.
"But you don't have to." She muttered. "I want to, besides, I have more than enough to get us something nice." I assured her as I spotted a noodle shop.
"What about here?" I pointed, she stared inside and licked her lips. I took that as a yes as I took her inside.
I relished in the nice cold air as we got a corner booth and a waiter gave us our menus.
"Whoa.. this looks so good." Ochako drooled. "Yeah." I agreed, I had to admit, watching Naruto made me love ramen and noodles in general.
"I'll get the udon." She hummed as she looked down. "With some sweet tea.." She told me.
"I'll get some beef ramen with some sushi on the side." I responded, I noticed mochi in the dessert section.
"Want mochi?" I asked with a small grin, I saw her freeze and try to stare at the menu.
"N-no.." I chuckled. "Don't worry, the mochi will be fine." I assured her.
The waiter came back and we gave our orders, I added the mochi to the order.
As the waiter left, I looked at Ochako. "Well.. we have our license." I started. "One step closer to our goals." I grinned.
"Yeah! I wonder what we'll be doing once classes start again." Ochako gave me a bright smile in excitement.
"Maybe we'll be doing some hero work like our internships." I hummed.
"Oh I could go back to Gunhead!" Ochako smiled even brighter at the thought.
I couldn't look at her directly as I looked away and muttered. "Too bright…" Why was this girl so bright.. It should be illegal.
Just then, the waiter came with some spring rolls and placed them in front of Ochako…
I blinked as I noticed him giving her a kind smile. "Oh I didn't order this." Ochako looked nervous as she pointed at the spring rolls. "On the house." The waiter smiled as he left.
The feeling of jealousy bubbled inside me but I forced a smile. "Oh thanks, my date and I will enjoy this" I said in a forced cheerful tone as Ochako realized what was going on.
The waiter blinked as he recognized me and gulped. "S-sorry umm.. I'll get your orders." The waiter scurried away.
The feeling subsided when I felt a foot nudge mine. I looked at Ochako who was giving me a small smirk.
"What?" I asked, confused. "Deku, are you jealous?" She teased.
"N-no!" I denied as I looked away embarrassed. I hated to admit it… I was jealous…
"Aww don't worry, it's just us." She laughed. I pouted as a different waiter came with our food.
I ate with my chopsticks as Ochako was drinking her sweet tea.
"This is delicious." She munched on the free spring roll. "I should thank that kind boy." She smirks at me, I huffed slightly. Since when could she tease..
We exited the restaurant after paying the bill, Ochako looked happy. "Awww I'm so full." She looked content.
I laughed. "Me too." I was about to put my wallet in my pocket when someone bumped into me and just rushed off…
Blinking, I looked at Ochako who was just as shocked. "Was I just robbed?" I asked, still trying to register what happened.
Ochako nodded as we turned to see the robber who was running… pretty slow.
"Well.. This is a good time to use this." I took something out of my jacket pocket, two gloves which were copies like my Air force gloves, Melissa and Mei were miracle workers. I put them on and grinned. "I'll be right back!" As I dashed towards the robber.
I reached the robber and used black whip to catch and restrain him. "You know, it's stupid to rob a hero student who just got his provisional license." I smirked as I took my wallet back. "D-dekiru!" The robber recognized me and was pale.
"STOP!" I blinked as I turned and saw a hero who wore white and had a green cape, he was breathing heavily as he looked at me.
"You… aren't… permitted… to … use your quirk.." He told me.
I simply stared at him as I took out my provisional license. "This man just tried to rob me and I took action."
"That's obviously fake!" He finally caught his breath as he stood straighter, he looked like an arrogant guy.
Fake? I raised an eyebrow until another hero in gray and was wearing a domino mask who looked older walked up to us. "Chain! What are you doing?!" He demanded as he walked up next to the other hero.
"Oh Spiker umm." Chain looked nervous as the Spiker looked at me. "Ah Dekiru, it's good to meet you." Spiker grinned.
I finally recognized him, Spiker, a hero who shot spikes from his palms and was a hero for a few years. Thank you Hero Knowledge.
"Oh Spiker!" I pulled the robber and presented him to the hero. "Sorry, this guy tried to rob me and I didn't really want to lose my wallet."
Spiker laughed. "Ha! I know that feeling." Chain looked at Spiker in shock. "HE USED HIS QUIRK WITHOUT A LICENSE!" He shouts
"Ah thanks sidekick…" He rolled his eyes. "Do you have a license?" Spiker asked. I showed my provisional license.
"Ah looks legit, you're free to go, sorry for the inconvenience Dekiru. Tell Eraserhead I said hi." I blinked as I nodded and walked off as the sidekick looked at me in shock.
"THAT WAS FAKE!" "You can't fake a license and I doubt All Might's successor would do something like that."
I made my way back to Ochako, who saw the whole thing and was giggling. "That was so funny to watch." I chuckled. "Yeah and better to put that guy in his place." I grinned as we made our way back to UA.
We entered the dorm and I saw the girls sitting on the couches, they saw us and I gave a small wave. "Hi." I looked at Ochako. "Talk later?"
Ochako looked at the girls and at me. "Please take me with you?" She pleaded.
"Sorry." I quickly walked as she was taken by Mina and Camie to be grilled.
I walked to the elevator and ran into Mr. Aizawa. "You used your quirk." He raised an eyebrow as he had his arms crossed.
"Ummm yeah…" I looked nervous. "Don't worry Spike told me what happened, good work, you responded quickly and efficiently, just wanted to be sure he was telling the truth, that man tells so many tall tales." He walked away.
I blinked as I hummed and got into the elevator.
A day after, I was eating breakfast with the rest of my class when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, I took it out and looked at it, I frowned. "Oh geez.. I gotta go." I got up and made my way to the door.
"What, why?" Momo asked while frowning. "My mom texted me, Eri's locked in her room, she doesn't want to go to her first day of elementary school." I responded as I left the dorms. Her school was supposed to start today.
Everyone looked at each other, then started to eat quickly and dashed to get changed.
I walked to the faculty dorm fixing my shirt. I was thankful for Nezu who was able to get Eri into a good elementary school in such a short notice.
I sprinted up the steps of the faculty dorm and saw Aizawa open the door. "Where?" I asked without even bothering with a formal greeting. "2nd floor, she's still not coming out." I nodded at my teacher and ran up the stairs and found my mom knocking on the door of Eri's room.
Inko noticed me as I approached. "Oh Izuku, you're here, I can't get her to come out.." She looked worried. "I got her in her uniform and then as we were about to leave the room, she ran back inside."
"Probably got nervous… Let me talk to her." Inko nodded and stepped back, I walked up to the door and knocked softly. "Eri?" I called, no response. "It's me, Izuku, can you let me in?" I asked.
After a while, there was a soft click. I looked at my mom and nodded at her, I stepped into the room, I looked around, I saw a lump on the bed under the blanket.
Closing the door behind me, I walked over and sat on the bed. "Hey there." I greeted with a small smile. "Are you gonna come out?" I asked.
"... No.." Eri responded softly. "Why not?" I asked as I put a hand on the top of the blanket.
"I don't wanna go to school." I sighed. "Eri, it's just like when you're studying with Nezu, but this time, the teacher is gonna be focused on other kids your age."
"Why can't I learn from Nezu?" She asked softly. "Because Nezu is a busy…. Rat." I said after a moment of contemplating on what to call the principal.
"I don't wanna go." Eri repeated. "Eri, you need to, school is a place where you can learn and make friends." I slowly pulled the blanket off to see my little sister in tears as she was wearing her elementary school uniform.
"There she is." I smiled as I poke her nose making her scrunch it up.
"But I want to stay here.." Eri looked down and sniffed. "I know, you'll come back after your school is finished." I pulled her into my arms and felt her cling to me.
"You can make more friends your age and if anything happens I'll teach them not to mess with a Midoriya." I stroked her silvery hair.
Eri giggled and nuzzled her face into my shirt, I smiled. "Come on, you don't want to be late." I got up and she grabbed my hand, we walked out of her room and smiled at my mom who sighed in relief.
"Sorry.." Eri looked down guiltily, "It's okay to be shy, Eri." Inko assured her as we went downstairs.
Aizawa, who was standing by the door, looked at Eri and his eyes softened, "You okay now kiddo?" He asked her, Eri nodded.
"Good, there's a car waiting outside to take her and your mom." He told me, "Who's taking them?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Mic volunteered, don't worry so much, problem child." I nodded slowly as we left the building, I blinked as all of class 1-A was standing outside, even Bakugo was there.
"Hey guys, what are you doing?" I asked them, "You seriously thought we wouldn't be here to see our favorite unicorn off to her first day of school?" Mina grinned as Toru agreed. "Yeah!"
It was amazing to see a visible Toru no matter how many times I see her.
I grinned and looked at Eri. Before she had nothing, stuck in a horrible place, now she had this family.
"She looks so cute!" Ochako cooed with a cutesy face. I pulled Eri down the steps as mom watched with a smile.
"Please do your best, remember, listen to your teacher!" Iida gave his advice with his normal arm chops.
"But also have fun!" Toru waved her arms around, her habit of using physical movements to show her expression.
"Make lots of friends!" Mina gave a thumbs up.
"I know this is rushed but here in case you get hungry!" Sato handed Eri a paper bag with what I could have guess had sweets.
"If someone tries to pick on you, remember to punch them right in the face." Bakugo smirked, "BAKUGO!" Iida scolded the explosive teen.
"Don't listen to him, if someone does pick on you, go to the teacher." Momo knelt in front of Eri and made a hairpin with the symbol I spray painted behind the dorm building and placed it on her hair with a kind smile on her face.
"What's the name of the school she's going to?" Shoto asked me, "I think it was called Sakuhana Elementary." I mumbled as I scratched my head. Shoto blinked.
"That's the same school my sister works at, I could let her know about Eri beforehand." He stated. "Oh that's good, I would appreciate that." I smiled.
I looked at Eri who started to tear up as she was in the center of attention. "Eri!" The class looked panicked as Eri was sniffing. "Was it too much!?" "Iida, you came too strong!" "Be quiet, you're scaring her!"
"T-thank you all!" Eri smiled as she felt so loved by everyone.
Mina blinked before she teared up also and hugged Eri tightly. "WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE!" She cried as Toru joined, tearing up as well. "It's not fair!" She sobbed.
We had to pry the two away from Eri as Mom took her to the gate. Before Eri got in the car I called out.
"Eri, remember, be brave alright?" Eri looked at me and nodded as she got in the car. The class was waving as the car left through the gate, I felt so proud of her, she was growing up slowly.
I turned to follow my classmates as we made our way to our dorms.
I heard my phone ring from my pocket, taking it out of my pocket, I saw it was Tsukauchi.
Picking it up, I placed it against my ear. "Yeah?"
"We found Kurogiri, we found Machia also, seismic activity is through the roof in the area." Tsukauchi explained.
I blinked as I turned away. "When are we moving?" I asked.
"As soon as possible, hopefully in a few hours." I nodded. "Nezu?"
"Gave the green light." He responded. "I'll get ready." I walked back into the dorm room as I put my phone in my pocket. Game time.
Eri was nervously shaking, her grip on her small book bag tightening, Inko held her other hand as they walked through the hall of the new school she was going to attend.
"Don't worry Eri, you'll be okay, now according to the guard the room should be, oh?" Inko blinked as a woman with a mix of white and red hair was standing in front of a door.
The woman spotted Inko and Eri. "Oh you must be Inko Midoriya, I'm Fuyumi Todoroki, I was told I was gonna be getting a new student." She smiled kindly and looked at Eri. "And this must be Eri."
"Ah yes, wait, Todoroki, are you related to Shoto Todoroki?" Inko asked, "Yes, he's my younger brother." Inko smiled brighter.
"Oh that's grand, my son is his friend." "I know, he let me know about Eri earlier, don't worry I'll take care of her." Fuyumi promised.
"Thank you so much, Eri?" Eri looked up at Inko, "Be nice and behave." Eri whimpered and held Inko's hand tighter.
"Eri, remember what Izuku said?" Inko kneels to Eri's level. This reminded her of when Izuku attended his first day of school.
"... Be brave." Eri took a deep breath and put on a brave face, Fuyumi wanted to coe but simply smiled wider. "If anything happens-" Inko started but Fuyumi cut her off.
"I'll tell Shoto, who'll tell your son and he'll tell you." Inko nodded, then thought if Eri were to be bullied.
She could hear the screams of those poor kids.
"... Here's my number, please text it first before anything." Inko hastily wrote down her number on a piece of paper and handed it to Fuyumi who took it with a nod of understanding.
"I have to go now, Eri." Inko kissed the girl's forehead and left.
"Let's introduce you to everyone." Eri looked up at Fuyumi and nodded as Fuyumi guided her inside.
Eri walked to the front of the room and froze as there were so many eyes on her, unlike Class A, these were other kids her age.
"We have someone new joining us today." Fuyumi announced as she looked at Eri. "Go on, introduce yourself."
Eri gulped and remembered the words of her big brother, Be Brave.
Gathering the courage she spoke. "M-my name is Eri Midoriya, it's nice to meet you all." She gave a small bow.
Fuyumi smiles. "Great, Eri you can sit… there's an empty seat right there." The woman pointed to the empty seat next to a boy with short blond hair and brown eyes.
Eri slowly made her way to the seat and sat down, the others stopped staring so she felt a bit better.
Looking to her right, the boy looked down shyly, make friends.. "I'm Eri." She introduced herself softly.
The boy looked at her. "K-Katsuma, Katsuma Shimano." The boy introduced himself shyly.
"It's nice to meet you." She gave a smile. "I hope we can be friends."
"Okay, class let's get started." Fuyumi smiled at her students.
In a dark room in an unknown location.
A boy with green hair and freckles on his cheeks was chained up on the floor face first. It was so dark…
The door to the room opened, illuminating the room, a guard in futuristic armor walked in.
"Hello 3316, how are you on this fine day?" The boy asked as he attempted to move his head but his neck was also chained. "Is it day? There isn't a clock here so it's so hard to tell the time." He continued in a cheery tone.
The guard took out a syringe as he injected the substance into his collar. "Ow. at least feed me, having these shots is so painful for me." The boy muttered.
The door opened once again, a man in a black lab coat with the words OAO on the left breast.
"Is that you doctor?" The boy asked. "I would stand but I can't." The scientist simply moved his arm as the boy was lifted off the ground, the chains extending.
Black eyes met blood red. "Ah, much better." The boy smiled wide. "Let me guess, trying to strip me of what I took fair and square?"
The scientist simply placed a device on the boy's chest as it glowed red. The boy grunted as his body was covered in red and black lightning.
The device short circuited and fell off. "Damn." The scientist cursed as he took the device and glared at the boy.
"Failure again?" He gave a wide grin. "Well that's a shame… say how's dear Ethan doing or should I say Izuku?" He asked with a head tilt. "Still doing your little experiment?"
"..." The scientist didn't say a word and walked out as the guard followed, the boy was slammed back onto the floor.
The door closed, engulfing him in darkness.
"Hehe… soon.. I'll find you.." His red eyes glowed with malice and hatred. "And I'll make you suffer for what you did to me."
I was walking to the car that was going to take me to the site where Kurogiri was spotted but stopped and rubbed my cheek as I felt something… Off..
Why did I feel like something was missing…
I shook my head and got into the car. I had more important things to worry about.
