There are tearful reunions, and everything's sorted out, but nothing is. Shouto wakes up to a quickly-scribbled note:
"The villain Dabi is your brother Touya, he had amnesia for ten years." Fuyumi and Natuso are freaking out.
"We have to save him. If he's just remembered, he must still be trapped with the rest of the villains." Natsuo says.
A day or so later, class was back in session. Shouto was talking with Izuku about cats when Shinshou's phone beeped.
"He texted back!" Shinsou said, and looked closer at the screen. His expression grew steadily more incredulous.
"Wait. Wouldn't that mean...a Tuesday." he suddenly looked at Shouto.
"I'm good friends with your brother." he said.
"No, you aren't. Natsuo would have told me." Shouto pointed out.
"Not Natsuo." Shinsou said. There was a moment of silence.
"He got hit by a quirk ten years ago on a Tuesday." Shinsou offered. Shouto stared at him.
"I met him one day in a library; he was trying to find out who he was. Now he has, because of you. Um. Also, he got hit by someone's quirk that body-switches his brother on Tuesdays. Which is concerning, because of the fact that you recognized and talked to him on a Tuesday. Because it wasn't you, then." Shinshou said. Shouto wondered how to handle this.
"Hey, come back!" Shinshou shouted, as Shouto took off across the hall.
It was some time after that the Big Three came to Aizawa's class. Izuku quickly made friends with Mirio, and despite certain troubles, joined Sir Nighteye's internship. One Tuesday, Kacchan suddenly privately messaged him.
Kaboom, Bastard: i'm immortal
Kaboom, Bastard: when you meet eri, grab her and run
Kaboom, Bastard: don't listen to mirio or the birdface
Dekiiiiru: are you okay?
"Is something wrong?" Mirio asked.
"I got a concerning text from my friend." Izuku said, and showed him.
"Huh."
Kaboom, Bastard: look ask nighteye to do his future seeing thing
Kaboom, Bastard: if you don't trust me
Dekiiiiru: how do you know Sir's quirk?
Kaboom, Bastard: i know a lot of stuff
Kaboom, Bastard: i know about halfnhalf's brother wait you don't know about him nvm
Kaboom, Bastard: ask halfnhalf about touya
"He has an explosion quirk, right? This is strange. Maybe you should ask...HalfnHalf...about a Touya." Mirio said.
Izuku privately messaged Shouto.
Dekiiiiru: do you know a touya
TuesdaysAreSuperior: touya is my brother. I have recently come across new information about him. is this what this is about?
Dekiiiiru: kacchan says he knows about touya
TuesdayAreSuperior: he was at kamino he would. has he told you?
Dekiiiiru: what does Kamino have to do with it?
(1) private message from (Kaboom, Bastard)
Kaboom, Bastard: i forgot about kamino ask runes about touya he'll freak out
Dekiiiiru: hey hitoshi what do you know about touya
Purple Cat: Did Shouto tell you I know him?
Dekiiiiru: no kacchan
Purple Cat: WHAT how does bakugou know did Shouto tell him
Dekiiiiru: he found out at kamino?
Purple Cat: he found that I'm touya's friend at kamino?
Dekiiiru: shouto did you tell kacchan that hitoshi's friends with touya
TuesdaysAreSuperior: I don't think so I only found that out after Kamino we haven't really talked since then
TuesdaysAreSuperior: but I might have and can't remember
CLASS 1-A GROUP CHAT
Dekiiiru: who here knows touya
Nevermore: I don't
TuesdaysAreSuperior: izuku why
Purple Cat: yeah why
Kaboom, Bastard: no one else knows
Dekiiiiru: Kacchan did Shouto tell you about Touya
Kaboom, Bastard: no i just know because of stuff
Kaboom, Bastard: one example is the fire nation
Dekiiiiru: the what
TuesdaysAreSuperior: HOW THE FRICK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT
TuesdaysAreSuperior: wait I remembered
TuesdaysAreSuperior: who do you switch with? We could meet
Kaboom, Bastard: switch with?
TuesdaysAreSuperior: you said you switch at night
TuesdaysAreSuperior: we probably shouldn't talk about this on the group chat
Kaboom, Bastard: i did not say that there may have been a misunderstanding
REDRIOT: there is no context to this and I love it
TuesdaysAreSuperior: Prince Zuko
Kaboom, Bastard: the guy from the quirkless-magic anime
TuesdaysAreSuperior: the what
TuesdaysAreSuperior: I mean on Tuesdays
Purple Cat: aha! So how did you recognize Touya?
Purple Cat: wait a prince really
Purple Cat: and what does Bakugou mean an anime
Dekiiiiru: kacchan is weird sometimes
Uraravity: He can temporarily disappear from existence
TuesdaysAreSuperior: yeah how'd you do that at kamino you had quirk suppressant cuffs on
electric_attraction: I am here to confirm that Shouto is sometimes Zuko
Nevermore: Are we telling the class about Tuesday's passenger?
King of Beasts: I can help
HearMyEars: does this have something to do with you yelling about Coldsun and Hawks
TuesdaysAreSuperior: I do not regret that and actually neither does he, once he thought about it
fractalblooddungeon: who
fractalblooddungeon: who is 'he'
Frog: who is he
Tailman: who is he
MasterChef: who is he
Spider_Tape_Man: who is he
Fullmetal Ponytail: who is he
Now-you-see-me: who is he
talktothehands: who is he
Sonic: What is going on here?
electric_attraction: Shouto
TuesdaysAreSuperior: what?
Dekiiiiru: I just wanted to find out why Kacchan said to kidnap someone named Eri
REDRIOT: he said what
Kaboom, Bastard: no you have to save her from Overhaul
Sonic: The yakuza villain?
Nevermore: the what
Kaboom, Bastard: * y'all I'm coming I'll do it myself
Kaboom, Bastard: don't get shot
HearMyEars: I am concerned
Purple Cat: Bakugou please don't fight the yakuza
Purple Cat: Touya says they have quirk-erasing bullets
Tailman: who is this mysterious Touya and how does he know the yazuka
three people are typing...
Kaboom, Bastard: he's a villain
TuesdaysAreSuperior: he's my brother
Purple Cat: he's my friend
Purple Cat: frick we all posted at the same time
Fullmetal Ponytail: Your brother is a VILLAIN!?
TuesdaysAreSuperior: he's not a bad guy he just had amnesia for ten years
Spider_Tape_Man: which villain
Kaboom, Bastard: the blue fire scar *er Dabi
TuesdaysAreSuperior: don't call my brother that
talktothehands: he attacked us!
electric_attraction: he's not really your brother tho
TuesdaysAreSuperior: excuse me
electric_attraction: yeah because tuesdays
Nevermore: he is as much his brother as the other siblings
King of Beasts: you don't have to be blood to be family
electric_attraction: you've never met him! And he attacked us!
REDRIOT: I don't know what's going on here but Denki has a point
TuesdaysAreSuperior: I can't save Azula, so I'm going to save Touya. Agni himself can't stop me.
Now-you-see-me: who are Agni and Azula?
Kaboom, Bastard: the god of fire and Zuko's sister
fractalblooddungeon: the god of fire?
Purple Cat: I'm sorry about your sister
Purple Cat: Touya knows he's going in the wrong direction don't worry
Purple Cat: he knew joining was a bad idea to begin with, but says he can help take down the League of Villains now
Frog: *your* sister he said Zuko's sister who's Zuko
Purple Cat: oops
Dekiiiiru: What have I done I just wanted to figure Kacchan out
Kaboom, Bastard: I have magic powers
Sonic: I highly doubt that.
Dekiiiiru: actually that would make perfect sense
Uraravity: it would explain so much
Dekiiiiru: are you the reason I haven't broken any bones
Kaboom, Bastard: yeah remember the runes the day of the entrance exam
Dekiiiiru: Why haven't you told me this before?
Kaboom, Bastard: bc you need a quirk to use magic
Kaboom, Bastard: i would have taught you otherwise
TuesdaysAreSuperior: Are you spirit-blessed?
Tailman: are we going to question this or
Kaboom, Bastard: no its because of the murder cat
MasterChef: the what
TuesdaysAreSuperior: so it sent you somewhere with magic
Kaboom, Bastard: among other places
Kaboom, Bastard: i would still like to clarify whether you are an anime character or not
TuesdaysAreSuperior: I
TuesdaysAreSuperior: I don't think so
TuesdaysAreSuperior: I think I would have found out at some point
REDRIOT: I can say with confidence you are not an anime character
Purple Cat: wait you're switching with someone from an anime?
Purple Cat: is that even possible? and which one
Kaboom, Bastard: no its not an anime here it's one in the magic place
Kaboom, Bastard: which still begs the question of where you come from
TuesdaysAreSuperior: the Fire Nation
Fullmetal Ponytail: and we're back to the beginning and still know nothing
Kaboom, Bastard: so a different planet?
TuesdaysAreSuperior: we think so
Sonic: Are we actually considering whether Shouto is an alien or not?
Nevermore: not Shouto Zuko
King of Beasts: Tuesday's passenger
Dekiiiiru: this clarifies nothing
Kaboom, Bastard: there's probably a reality where we're all anime characters
Kaboom, Bastard: imagine if I went there and everyone freaked the * out
Kaboom, Bastard: wait maybe i can
Kaboom, Bastard: see you in eight seconds
fractalblooddungeon: what
