Chapter 40

I was sitting in the back of Tsukauchi's car as Gran Torino was sitting in the passenger seat and Tsukauchi was driving. We made a small pitstop for me to change into my hero costume before arriving at the site.

I got out of the car and saw some policemen waiting along with a few heroes, I recognized all of them.

The Wild Wild Pussycats, Ryukyu the current number 9 Hero, Nejire, Mount Lady and Kamui Woods.

Kamui took notice of me first. "What's he doing here?" He asked, confused.

Mt. Lady turned to look at me. "Izuku Midoriya!" She was in front of me immediately. "Soooo I noticed you didn't give me a title…"

I felt my brow twitch. "There isn't much of a title to give." I told her, making the older woman pout.

Moving past her, I greeted the WWP. "Hey guys, it's been a while." I gave them a grin. Tiger blinked at me. "Midoriya? Why are you here?"

Tsukauchi walked up next to me and patted my shoulder. "Dekiru is here because he has a skillset that we need for this operation." He explained to them.

"Midoriya!" I was immediately face to face with the periwinkle pixie known as Nejire. "How are you? It's been so long. Did you forget about me? When were you planning on visiting? Why are you here?" Nejire shoots her questions at a rapid pace.

I blinked as I pushed her back. "I umm.. Sorry.. I've been busy." I rubbed the back of my neck ashamed. "Wait, what are you doing here?" I looked at her confused,

"Oh, I'm doing my work study with Ryukyu! Don't worry, you'll learn about that sooon~" Nejire grinned widely at me

"Oh alright. How's Mirio and Tamaki?" I asked her as I adjusted my gauntlet.

"They're great! We were happy about you being okay after Kamino." She responded.

Mandalay looked at Tsukauchi. "What exactly are we going to be doing?" She asked the detective.

"We're here to capture a member of the league of villains, the one known as Kurogiri." He showed a picture of the warp user.

"The warper?" Tiger asked.

"That's right." Gran Torino walked up next to me. "We were able to find him after we received reports of him being sighted near the area." The veteran explained. In other terms, with my quick tips to check the forest areas all over Japan, they were able to find him much quicker.

"That's why I requested you all to be in this operation." Tsukauchi explained. "The Pussycats are here because they're quirks will be useful, it's the same as Kamui, Ryukyu and Mt. Lady."

Pixie Bob raised her hand. "If we're going after Kurogiri, why not pick other heroes?" The blond asked.

Torino sighed. "There's been sightings of something large walking through these forests. We think that Kurogiri is looking for whatever is around here." He explained.

"And we have reports of something big wandering around and we don't want to be caught off guard." Tsukauchi continued.

Kamui looked at me and Nejire. "Should the kids be here for this?" He asked. I could tell he was worried since we weren't professional heroes yet.

"I trust Nejire and she can help with her quirk." Ryukyu defended her student.

"And Dekiru isn't a snot nosed brat, he was able to help take out the villain Muscular." Torino spoke up in my defense.

I looked to Mandalay who gave me a thankful nod.

"Alright, we have a large cage ready for the beast when we come into contact." Tsukauchi points at the rather large box that I could only assume is the cage.

"You seem prepared for something like this.." Ragdoll looked surprised.

"We're not taking any risks here." The detective turned to Torino and me. "You two are the fastest, you'll be taking point and need to apprehend Kurogiri once you see him."

"Right." Gran nodded.

"Got it." I agreed as my mask snapped over my face.

"Mandalay, you and the other Pussycats will be nearby in case things go south, same with Kamui and Mt. Lady."

"Nejire, can you fly up and get a bird's eye view." Ryukyu asked her student who nodded and flew up into the sky. The pro looked at Tsukauchi. "I'll be close by in case."

"Right." He turned to the other officers. "You all have your ear pieces?" I caught an ear piece that Gran Torino threw at me without looking. "Alright. Let's move." I turned to look at Torino who was walking away.

I rushed to catch up. "Keep up rookie." He challenged with a smirk. I scoffed. "I should say that old man." I smirked right back as I tapped into Fa-jin and dashed forward with Torino following.

I was hiding in the trees as Kurogiri calmly walked through the forest.

"I see him." I whispered softly into my ear piece.

"Hold, we have one chance at this." Tsukauchi said. "Get ready with those whips boy." Gran Torino butted in.

I rolled my eyes as I had black whip ready to latch onto its target.

"... NOW!" I pounced as soon as the word was given and wrapped black whip around Kurogiri. Gran Torino sprung from his position and was crouching over the villain with his hand on the warper's head.

"Got you." I grinned as I tightened my grip on the warper.

"Nowhere to go." Gran Torino smirked as Nejire came floating down.

"Wow, that was easy." She said surprised.

The warper grunted as he tried to move. "Tell me something Midoriya." I narrowed my eyes as Kurogiri spoke. "Have you heard of the beast of the forest?"

Suddenly, the ground started to shake… Large footsteps.

My mask recedes showing my face to the warper. "I have… and let me ask you, how much force does it require to take down said beast?" I mocked as trees were pushed aside, showing Gigantomachia.

… Okay my comment sounded better in my head…

Nejire gasped as she flew back. Gran Torino looked at the beast in surprise. "You said he was big… I thought he would be bigger.." The old man muttered.

I let my mask snap over my face and knocked Kurogiri unconscious with a blow to the head. "Gran Torino, get him out of here, now!" I ordered as I put a finger on my ear. "Ryukyu, Mt. Lady, the beast is here, we need back up!"

Gigantomachia looked at the warper then at me, he sniffed the air. "One.. for… all…" I froze in place.

Either the All for One gave the beast a scent for him to recognize or he could sniff out certain quirks… or the doctor…

"Nejire, go with Torino!" I leaped away and heard the crushing of more trees. I looked behind me to see the beast chasing after me. I grinned, just as I thought One for All is a priority target.

"No! Get Kurogiri!" My eyes widened as the radio around his neck gave the order, Machia turned and went after Torino.

I tethered myself to a tree and flung myself towards the beast. "Oh no you don't!" I swung from tree to tree to catch up.

Then I felt someone grab my hand. I looked up to see Nejire. "I told you to go with Gran Torino."

"Well, you're my kohai, I'm not leaving you alone." Nejire flew faster as I sighed. "Okay, just get me close to him."

Just then Mt. Lady grew larger and grabbed the beast. "Hah! You're not so tough!" I wanted to face palm as Machia started to grow larger.

"Idiot…" I groaned as Ryukyu transformed into her dragon form and grabbed him from behind.

Kamui used the surrounding trees in an attempt to restrain the large beast.

"Get me close to that radio!" I pointed at the radio hanging around the beast's neck.

"Okay!" Nejire flew close enough for me to grab the radio with the whips and yanked it off.

"Anddd." I turned off the radio and held on as Nejire flew us back to the site where Kurogiri was being held.

"Here!" I threw the radio to Tsukauchi who caught it with a surprised look.

"That's how Machia is getting his orders." I said as I let go of Nejire's hand and she landed next to me.

"Well we can't trace it sadly.." The detective sighed as the ground rumbled. I looked back and saw the two heroines struggling against the beast.

"I'm going back in there." I looked at Nejire. "Trust me?" I asked her, she nodded, she looked so serious.

"Good, now go help Ryukyu!" Nejire nodded and flew towards her mentor. I looked back to Gran Torino. "Get that sedative ready."

"Yeah yeah." Gran gumbled as I jumped into the forest and swinged towards the battle of titans.

"Hey!" I screamed as I pulled myself into the sky and shot some air bullets at Gigantomachia, his attention shifted towards me.

"GET OUT OF HERE!" Ryukyu screamed at me.

"Sorry not gonna happen!" I argued as I pulled myself towards Gigantomachia with my whips, I winded my fist back and tapped into 40% of OFA.

"DETROIT SMASH!" I screamed as I slugged the beast on the cheek, creating a shockwave.

His head snapped to the side but he simply grew larger and roared in anger. "HOLD HIM!" I called as I tethered myself away from a punch that would most likely end me if it made contact.

"Nejire! Keep at it!" Ryukyu encouraged her student who was firing spirals of energy at the beast.

I landed on the ground and caught my breath. This was harder than I thought.

"Ragdoll." I put a finger on the ear piece. "Can you pinpoint a weak point on this guy?" I asked as I could feel the ground rumble and Machia sank a bit.

"No… I don't see anything, Pixie-Bob was able to sink him, Mandalay has been trying to distract him but he's not even fazed." Ragdoll said through the coms.

"This guy is a pet for a lunatic… I don't think he has that much brain capacity.." I sighed as I started to think of a plan.

Looking at the battle, Mt. Lady was wrestling with Machia from behind while Ryukyu was trying to push him away from the site where Kurogiri was.

The wood kept breaking and was replaced by more wood from Kamui…

If Mt. Lady could open his mouth long enough for Gran to throw the sedative into his mouth, that could do the trick… But then we would need to wait for the sedative to take effect which will take a while.

"Come on big brain." I muttered as I paced on the spot.

I stopped, then looked at the beast, then at my boots… It could work… I just hoped I wouldn't break my legs from it…

Nejire flew around Machia, firing more spirals at him. "I can't keep this up!" She called, she could feel her vitality taking a toll.

"I got the thing!" Gran called as he shot through the air. "I need you to open his mouth!"

"Right!" Mt. Lady gritted her teeth but tried to pry his mouth open.

"Hang on!" I cried as I kicked it into Overdrive and leaped into the air. Shooting black whip at Machia, I was able to get a hold and pulled myself towards him. "HEY MACHIA! I shouted, now or never!

"YO MASTER'S SO FAT! THOSE QUIRKS GO TO HIS WAISTLINE!" I taunted him.

Machia stopped and looked at me, Mt. Lady and Ryukyu looked at me in shock. Nejire covered her mouth trying to keep her laugh in. Gran barked out laughing as he flew through the sky.

"RAWWWWRRRRRR!" Machia roared in rage, the two heroines were pushed back from the shockwave. Gran immediately threw the sedative down his throat.

"NICE!" I cheered as I shot a whip at Nejire who caught it and pulled me away just in time as Machia swiped at me.

"Okay! We got the sedative… Now what?" Nejire asked as she flew faster.

"We wait for the drug to take effect." Tsukauchi spoke through the ear piece.

"WHAT!?" Mt. Lady screamed. "LOOK AT HIM! THAT'LL TAKE FOREVER!"

"Keep your voice down!" I shouted as I landed on Mt. Lady's shoulder. "I have a plan, but I need him to stay in a single spot long enough for it to work." I explained.

"We can give you 1 minute but it won't be easy." Kamui said as he controlled the wood around him to restrain Machia once more.

"What's your plan?" Ryukyu asked me.

I smirked as I simply asked. "Mt. Lady, how's your throwing arm?"

Ryukyu roared and wrapped herself around Machia, the ground under them sank, Kamui restraining Machia with more wood, he was getting tired from overusing his quirk.

"KID IF YOU HAVE A PLAN! NOW'S A GOOD TIME TO DO IT!" Gran yelled as he flew past Machia's head.

"Kid are you sure about this?" Mt. Lady asked as she held me in the palm of her hand.

"Yes, now do it!" I ordered as I braced myself.

Mt. Lady mustered all her strength and threw me into the sky with all her might.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Gran screamed at Mt. Lady. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!"

"IT WAS HIS IDEA!" Mt. Lady screeched back.

I was so glad I had my mask and visor on, it helped as I was flying up, I think I was nearing the atmosphere..

As I was slowing down, I tensed my leg, getting ready to fall back to earth. Looking down, I could see a city in the distance… Wow I was so high up… No time for that…

I positioned myself as I spoke. "Lunar… DROP!" I kicked upwards just as I stopped ascending and was about to fall, the kick sent me rocketing back down.

After I spun in the air so that I was gonna land feet first and straightened my body. I willed Black whip to wrap around my whole body as a protective shell. I pushed OFA to 100% and prepared to use whatever kinetic energy I had left in Fa-jin.

This won't kill Machia… but it'll be enough to knock him out!

Nejire hovered nearby the battle and heard a loud BOOM. Just then there was a bright flash as lightning struck the top of the beast's head.

The impact caused a huge shockwave sending everyone back.

Tsukauchi and the other policemen felt the shockwave from their position.

The detective coughed as he waved the dirt away. "Damn… That kid's gonna be the death of me.." He muttered making everyone look at him. THAT WAS THE KID?!

I coughed as I snakingly stood up. Not broken… No… No, it feels painful… Push through it.

I stumbled as I looked down. Gigantomachia was unconscious under me…

"Ha… eat your heart out Delsin.." I laughed as I sat down.

"Dekiru! Are you okay?" Mandalay spoke through her telepathy.

"Yeah I'm fine." I spoke into coms. "We need help carrying this big guy into that cage." I groaned in pain as I looked down, huh, he was shrinking.

Danger sense flared up. I simply laid down and rolled out of the way as Gran Torino slammed into the spot next to me with an angry expression on his face.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!?" He screamed at me. "YOUR WORST THEN TOSHINORI!"

"I got the guy, your welcome." I responded as I sat up again.

"What am I gonna do with you.." Gran rubbed his temple trying to stop his headache.

In a dark lab, a short man in a lab coat watched through a screen and got up. "I really shouldn't use this but I can't allow two of our best assets to be captured." The doctor walked to the far wall and placed his hand on a scanner.

The wall opened up to a single cloning tube, in the capsule, there was a thin but buff Nomu,

"We were saving you for a special occasion... But I don't have much choice." He pressed the button on the console, sending electricity into the nomu.

The Nomu's eyes shot open revealing glowing gray eyes.

I sat under a tree as I watched the police chain Machia inside the cage.

Nejire came over drinking an energy drink… This girl doesn't need an energy drink… But for her quirk, maybe it's needed.

"Long day huh?" She sat next to me.

"Yup… so Work Studies… Do you think you can recommend some of my friends to Ryukyu?" I asked.

"Sure! Who?" Nejire asked with a smile.

"Ochako Uraraka and Tsuyu Asui." I told her as I leaned my head back.

"Ohhh I know those two! Sure!" Nejire offered me some of her energy drink, which I took and drained pretty quickly.

Nejire giggled. "Wow, looks like you needed that more than me."

"Yeah." I chuckled. "Sorry."

"Don't worry! I got more in the car." Nejire got up and left to get another drink.

I sighed. Machia was down, now I had to find Shigaraki… Wherever he was…

My head started to ring loudly, causing me to shut my eyes in pain. "Damn!" I grabbed my head and stood up.

"Izuku do you feel that?" Nana asked from my subconscious. "Yeah…" I answered.

"Strange… I don't feel anything.." Yoichi hummed.

"Wait… so it's only Nana?" I asked as I looked around, this wasn't danger sense…

I limped my way to the heroes with my hand on my forehead, I was thankful for the vibranium boots, they helped with the blowback of my axe-kick from heaven. "Ragdoll, do you sense anything in the vicinity?" I asked the green heroine.

Ragdoll blinked and closed her eyes. Her eyes snapped open with a gasp. "There's something coming! It's coming in fast!"

Pixie-bob groaned. "Come on…" She whined.

"Where?" Tsukauchi demanded.

I looked at Gran Torino who nodded at me. I knew we came to the same conclusion, the doctor wasn't giving up Machia and Kurogiri easily.

"There!" Ragdoll pointed at the sky, I saw something rocketing towards us… No, towards Kurogiri! If it got him, he could get Machia out.

My mask snapped over my face once more. I pushed OFA to Full Cowling and used my good leg to push myself into the path of what was coming towards us.

The air left my lungs as I was taken into the sky with the thing's hand around my throat. I heard my name being called out, but I was too focused on what was holding onto me.

It was a Nomu, this one was dark blue but wasn't too bulky, openings on it's shoulders for propulsion. Its eyes were yellow and gray pupils, but the weirdest thing.. The smile stitched to its face.

Down right unsettling!

I choked as I clawed at its arm. The Nomu stopped and threw me as hard as it could, sending me flying.

No no no no no, I need to get back! "NANA!" I called out. "On it!" Nana responded.

As I fell, I could feel myself becoming weightless, just like when Ochako took away my gravity.

I finally activated Float…

Flipping myself to an upright position as I saw the Nomu making its way back to the camp, this wasn't Hood, I didn't know they had another Nomu…

I grabbed my head as I felt a strong stinging pain in my brain. What the hell? No not now, need to get my head in the game.

I positioned my arms behind me and just like Bakugo, used my air bullets to propel myself towards it. "HEY!" I called out as I kept propelling myself forward.

The Nomu didn't turn at my call, mindless, so it was receiving orders in some way.

Once I got close enough, I shot my whips towards it and smirked as it wrapped around the nomu's leg. "Gotcha!" I pulled myself towards it and got on its back.

"Not gonna get rid of me that easily!" I wrapped my whips around it to help me stay on.

The Nomu had other ideas as it rocketed towards the camp once again. I gritted my teeth as I activated the ear piece. "DEKIRU! ARE YOU OKAY?" Tsukauchi shouted.

"I'm fine!" I spoke as I tightened my grip. "This thing is a Nomu and it's after our prisoners! Get them out of here!"

"We're not leaving you!" Ryukyu denied.

"I can handle it! JUST GO!" I screamed as I dive bombed towards the camp. I pulled hard, steering it off course and it pulled up to not crash.

"Not gonna happen!" I looked to the side to see Nejire flying beside me. "Stop trying to do things on your own, Dekiru!" Nejire scowled.

I stared at her before groaning. "Fine! We need to ground this thing!" I told her as I steered the Nomu away once again. "Any Ideas?"

This thing had no wings and the holes on its shoulders were shooting out wind so powerful I couldn't just cover them and I doubt that those were helping this thing fly.

"I could give full power but I can't do that and keep up." Nejire said, I noticed that her forehead was shining, sweat… Was she using all of her power to just keep up?

I held on tighter as it tried to buck me off its back. "I'll try to aim it towards you so you can get a clear shot!" I told her. "Get ready!"

Nejire nodded and stopped her pursuit.

The Nomu struggled more. "Let's go for a ride." I pulled hard, making it turn around and fly towards Nejire, who was ready to unleash her quirk.

The Nomu tried to steer away but I kept it from doing so. "No you don't!" The headache got worse and I nearly let go but tightened my grip. "Izuku I feel it too!" Nana exclaimed.

"NEJIRE WAVE!" I pulled up and the attack hit the Nomu right in the chest, it screeched as I landed a punch right in it's brain.

The screeching got louder and a loud ringing filled my ears, I could hear Nana's scream in pain as well. I let go and started to fall along with the Nomu.

I tried my best to block out the ringing as I activated Float and slowed my descent.

The Nomu crashed into the forest, I slowly landed next to it and restrained it with black whip. My mask receded letting me breathe easier.

Nejire hovered next to me. "Nomu has been grounded, please send back up and something to restrain it." She spoke into her ear piece.

The ringing faded as I took a closer look at the Nomu. It was so familiar… I then spotted something on the side of its head where the ear should have been.

I got closer and saw that it was an earpiece. I took it out and put it against my ear. "GET UP! GET UP!" I looked around. "The doctor who made these monsters I presume?" I asked.

The shouting stopped as I said it. "Midoriya Izuku…" Doctor Ujiko's voice was filled with malice as he said my name.

"Yup, now why don't you save us the trouble and tell us where Shigaraki is?" I demanded.

"Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you." The doctor scoffed as I sighed. Of course…

"But… aren't you curious about the nomu you just defeated?" Ujiko asked. "It's quite special, she was made just for All Might… But from what my master tells me, it'll work on you just as effectively."

I narrowed my eyes and stared at the Nomu as it laid there, breathing… waiting for a command from its creator.

"Now don't tell me you haven't felt it?" My eyes widened. "What?"

"Ahhh so you have felt it… You have your theories don't you… Come now… tell me who she is." Ujiko giggled in a demented way.

"Izuku…" Nana whimpered from my mind… No…

"No…" I whispered as I let go of the whips and stared at the nomu as I finally realized who it was before it was turned into this monstrosity.

"Yes… You figured it out! Hahahaha!" Ujiko cackled. "Tell me! TELL ME!" He demanded.

"Nana…" I fell to my knees, I felt disgusted… hatred… towards the men who did this to Nana Shimura's body "How can you do this to her.." I whispered.

"Well… my master wanted to hit All Might where it hurts to most… But this works just as well! Goodbye Mr. Midoriya." The earpiece short-circuited in my hand, but I didn't care.

I felt the tears well up in my eyes, how long?

"Dekiru?" Nejire stepped forward with an unsure look on her face as she tried to reach out for me.

I was enraged, All for One took Nana's body, twisted it, mutilated it, experimented on it… HOW LONG?!

Nana was sobbing as she saw through my eyes what that monster had done to her body, I could feel her disgust and the anger of all the other users.

It boiled up into a scream of pure rage as I punched the ground creating a crack as OFA seeped out.

I breathed heavily as I sat down and stared at the nomu.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Nejire giving me a sad look. "Was.. she someone you knew?" She asked.

She didn't understand… It was more than that… But all I did was nod and look at the Nomu with heavy eyes.

"I'm so sorry…" She whispered and kneeled down, giving me a hug, I didn't respond, hearing the other users cursing All For One, Yoichi's disappointment was washing over me.

The police and the other pro heroes arrived and immediately restrained the nomu. "Don't hurt her…" I begged.

Tsukauchi and Gran Torino looked at me, Nejire looked up. "Who's Nana?" She asked.

Gran's eyes widened as he looked at the Nomu, then at me. I teared up and slowly nodded. "It's her…" I whispered.

Gran fell to his knees and looked down, despair written on his face… I didn't blame him.

Tsukauchi looked shocked and let out a shaky breath. "She… was someone close to Izuku, Gran Torino and … All Might…"

"Thats not her…" Gran Torino denied.

I took a deep breath and looked at Ragdoll. "You can see her quirks… right?" I asked. The heroine nodded.

"... Can you see float in there?" I asked her. Ragdoll slowly stared at the Nomu and searched. She closed her eyes and nodded in confirmation.

Gran Torino got up and walked away. "I'll be in the car…" He said numbly.

"Can you have someone take us back to UA?" Nejire asked the detective.

"No I need to-" I was cut off as Nejire put her hand over my mouth.

"You are going back to UA and get some rest." Nejire interjected as Ryukyu sighed.

"I'll do it…" She said as Nejire got up, pulling me up with her.

"I'm not a baby.." I grumbled as Nejire dragged me with her as she followed her mentor.

Tsukauchi looked at the Nomu and took out his phone. Nezu needed to know about this…

After falling asleep while riding with Ryukyu and Nejire back to UA, I found myself in the vestige world.

The user's were on their thrones… save for 2, 3 and Nana…

Nana was sitting on the floor next to her throne, staring blankly into the distance.

Yoichi was the first to speak. "I'm so sorry for my brother…" The first user looked ashamed. "I never thought he would stoop this low…"

"It's not your fault." En spoke up. "Who knows what he did to our bodies after he killed us.." The sixth user crossed his arms looking at his successor.

"He already went after her family!" Daigoro screamed as he slammed his fist on the arm of his throne. "Now he used her …" He stopped short as he stared at Nana.

"My corpse…" Nana mumbled as she looked at the other users. "He was gonna use it against Toshi… I'm sorry you had to go through that kid.." She looked at me.

"You don't need to be sorry." I told her as I clenched my fist. "All for One is behind bars now, he won't hurt anyone."

"Is that what you believe?" The second user asked. "He's gonna take over that boy's body… and probably break himself out." The second user turned to face me. "He needs to be put down!"

"I agree…" Hikage nodded. "This has gone too far…"

"We can't stoop to his level." Yoichi looked saddened. "But… we need to do something about … Tenko."

The third user sighed. "We don't even know where he is…"

"Yes we do, Jakku Hospital." Second looked at me. "We just have to get a team and storm the place."

"We need to do it right…" I rubbed my forehead.

"Right?" Second scoffed. "Listen… I know things aren't the same as my time but we have the knowledge to make changes but you won't act on them!"

"He's been doing a lot already! Cut him some slack!" Nana stood up, glaring at the second user.

"Well he needs to do more!" Second argued.

"ENOUGH!" I screamed as I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"I'm sorry if you think I'm not doing enough but I'm still a UA student!" I glared at the second. "I have to do things carefully and not become a criminal by taking things into my own hands, plus I'm not strong enough to take on those high end nomus that the doctor has alone… I know you're angry." I looked at the users.

"I know that it seems dark but we'll get through this.. We'll stop Tenko, we just need to take cautious steps." The second user scoffs at my words and turns around.

"... He'll cool down.." Yoichi sighed.

"Yeah… can't be like that forever." Daigoro rubbed his head.

Nana looked at me. "You should go… I think you'll be at UA soon."

I didn't want to leave but I knew they needed time.

I closed my eyes and woke up to… my head on Nejire's lap as she stroked my green hair.

Nejire saw my eyes open and she gave me a gentle smile. "Hey, are you feeling better?" She asked.

I tried to sit up but she stopped me. "Take it easy, we're almost there." Nejire assured me.

We were in the back seat… wait I was laying on her lap with her hero costume on and…

I turned red as I looked away.

"I'm okay.." I told her. "Can I sit up?" I asked. "... Not until we get to UA, your hair is too fluffy." Nejire giggled as she kept playing with my hair.

Why…

"We're here." Ryukyu said from the driver's seat as we stopped, I got up and got out of the car, I looked around to see the main campus of UA. I limped to the back of the car and opened the trunk taking out my suitcase, sleeping in my hero costume wasn't comfortable…

Nejire walked up beside me and got her suitcase. "If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask… Okay?" Nejire smiled at me, this was the first time I've ever seen this side of her..

"... yeah." I nodded. "Thank you." I turned to Ryukyu who I bowed to. "And thank you for taking us back."

The dragon hero smiled. "It's no problem… Go rest up." I nodded and made my way to the dorm of Class 1-A.

I was limping slowly but it felt like moments as I made it to the door of the building.

Opening the door and stepping into the building, everyone of class 1-A stopped to look at me. Oh… Aizawa is here too.

"Midoriya, where have you been!?" Iida demanded as he marched towards me. "You vanished right after Eri left!" I just brushed past him and limped to the elevator.

Iida looked shocked as he was ignored. Aizawa stopped me by putting a hand on my shoulder. "Midoriya." He stopped when I looked at him, he saw the look in my eyes and slowly let go.

I nodded in thanks and entered the elevator and went up to my room.

Aizawa recognized that look, all too well. "No one bother him, he needs space." He told the other students who looked worried.

"What happened?" Camie asked with a frown on her face.

"I intend to find out." Aizawa left to go speak with Nezu.

I flopped onto my bed after taking off my gloves and boots.

This… this wasn't something I expected… Did this happen in canon? Will my knowledge become useless?

I turned to face the ceiling as I let sleep take me… This time, I had no dreams.
