The friends were walking to school when they noticed a group of reporters outside the school.
"Great." Jason said. "As if regular people weren't bad enough."
"Huh?" Anna and Elsa said. "What do you mean?"
"The press." Jason pointed at the group. "If there were ever a more dishonest group of people, I haven't found them."
"I still don't understand." Anna said.
"The press, or paparazzi as they are sometimes called, don't care who they hurt so long as they get a paycheck. They will take whatever you say and twist it so that it makes them money. Compared to them Johnny and I are saints."
"What do you have against the Press?" Johnny asked.
"Here's why I hate them." Jason said before clearing his throat. 'Mr. Wayne, Mr. Wayne! Can you tell us why you chose to adopt a second boy? Why didn't you say decide to adopt a girl after raising young Richard Grayson? Is it perhaps that you somehow feel more comfortable around young boys?'
"Or what about." 'Jason! Jason over here! Are the rumors true that Bruce Wayne adopted you in the hopes of making you perform certain tasks for him to repay him for adopting you?'
"Or maybe even." 'Does Bruce Wayne abuse you? Is that how you got those bruises? What about Miss Kyle? Since the two have gotten together has she tried taking advantage of you?'
"Maybe that's why I hate the press." Jason said before shoving his way through the crowd.
His friends stood speechless.
A woman at the front of the group shoved a microphone in his face. "What's it like having All Might as a teacher?" She asked.
"It's great." Jason said gathering up all of his control not to kill the reporter. "Yeah. He's teaching us all of his special techniques. I wouldn't be surprised if all of us can use one of his smash attacks by the end of the year." Jason said before pushing past the reporter.
"I have one more question!" The woman shouted.
Jason reached behind himself and flipped her and the other reporters off. He chuckled at their scandalized gasps. 'Suckers.' He thought.
They walked into class and saw that Lida, Ochaco, and Bakugo had gotten caught up by the Media.
Class started when Mr. Aizawa came in. "I'm glad you all made it through the mob of reporters. I also want to congratulate you on the Combat Training. I saw the videos, and the results. Bakugo. You're talented, so don't act like a kid."
"I know." Bakugo grumbled.
"Midoriya." Aizawa continued. "You settled it by breaking your arm again. I thought Jason was teaching you control. Whether Jason is a bad teacher, or you are a bad student I don't know, but you better fix it."
Jason knew that this was another one of Aizawa's deceptions to try and get Midoriya on the right track, so he didn't say anything.
"I hate having to repeat myself, but if you can learn how to control your Quirk then you will go far."
"Yes sir." Midoriya said.
Aizawa turned to Jason and Johnny. "Good job on your villain portrayals but try not to get comfortable being villains. You are both on your way to becoming capable heroes."
"Thank you, sir." The two said in unison.
"Now that that's taken care of." Aizawa said. "On to homeroom business. Sorry about the late notice, but today I'll have you..."
The classroom filled with tension.
"...Decide a Class Representative."
The tension left the room.
"ME!" Kirishima yelled throwing both hands in the air. "I wanna be Class Rep! Pick me!"
"Me too!" Kaminari said raising his hand.
"I want to do it too." Kyoka said raising her hand too.
"It's a job made for me." Yuga raised his hand.
"I'll be the leader!" Mina shouted jumping up.
"My manifesto is that all girls' skirts have to be thirty centimeters above the knee!" Mineta yelled before Jason spin kicked him into the wall.
"May I kick this pervert's ass?" Jason asked before spin kicking Mineta into a wall.
"Let me do it! ME!" Bakugo yelled waving his hand in the air.
Midoriya raised his hand.
"I want to do it!" Anna yelled. "Or better yet... Elsa."
"I don't want that much responsibility." Elsa said. "Why not Jason?"
"No way." Jason asked.
"Silence, please!" Lida yelled. "The Class Representative is a job with a serious responsibility of leading others. It's not just a job for just anyone who wants to do it. It is a calling that requires the trust of those around you. If we want to use democracy to decide on a true leader, then we should hold an election to choose one."
"You raised your hand the highest!" Everyone yelled.
"I suggest Lida." Jason said. "He's the only one here with a head strong enough for the responsibility, he's not a hot head, a pervert, or an attention whore. He tells it like it is and will tell you everything while giving you no information whatsoever. He was made for this role."
"I agree." Johnny said. "Either Lida, Midoriya, or Jason."
"What is that. Responsibility?" Jason asked. "Get that shit away from me."
"Why did you suggest that?" Kaminari asked.
"We haven't known each other very long." Asui pointed out. "So how can we trust each other or anything?"
"If that's the case and everyone votes for themselves..." Kirishima said.
"Don't you think that is precisely why whoever receives multiple votes here can truly be considered the most suitable person?" Lida pointed out. "What do you think Mr. Aizawa?"
"I don't care, so long as you decide before homeroom is over." Mr. Aizawa said before laying down in his sleeping bag.
"Thank you very much!"
They voted and they went down the list.
Izuku Midoriya- five votes
Jason Todd- three votes
Momo Yaoyorozu- two votes
"I got five votes!" Midoriya shouted.
"Why Deku!" Bakugo shouted. "Who voted for him!"
"Well it's better than voting for you." Sero said.
"What did you say!" Bakugo yelled.
Jason looked around and saw that Ochaco had voted for Midoriya. He had to hold back a laugh, but he also voted for Midoriya.
They heard muttering and saw Lida muttering to himself.
"Then it looks like Midoriya is the Class Rep." Mr. Aizawa said. "And the Deputy Class Rep will be Yaoyorozu."
"S-s-seriously?" Midoriya asked. "Seriously?"
"How vexing..." Momo said.
"That might not be too bad." Asui said.
"After all is said and done, Midoriya can be pretty fired up, anyway." Kirishima added.
"And Yaoyorozu was pretty cool when we were going over the battle results!" Someone added.
"Oh wow! There are a lot of people here today, too!" Ochaco said during lunch.
"That's because everyone in the Hero course, Support course, and Management course meet in the same place."
"The rice is so delicious!" Ochaco said with a big smile on her face.
"Even though I was chosen for class Rep, I don't know if I'm qualified for it."
"Sure, you are." Jason said. "You have thirteen notebooks filled with notes on hero Quirks and abilities. so that means that you are tactical. You don't run when someone is in trouble. We can tell story after story of times that you stood up against Bakugo to protect someone else. Hell. You saved Ochaco during the Entrance Exam even though you knew that it would cost you. You outsmarted Bakugo during combat training, and if that's not enough you have the strength to carry everyone's burdens and still care. You did it before your Quirk activated, and you only got better afterwards. You are more than able to be the Class Rep."
"Yeah." Anna said. "You and Jason Co-Lead our group. You are the guy who thinks things through while Jason is the one who will defend us at the drop of a hat... Not that you wouldn't, it's just that Jason is a lot more aggressive than you... that's not what I mean!"
"We know what you're trying to say Anna." Elsa said. "But she has a point. You are a wonderful tactician and strategist. Jason is an amazing fighter. Johnny is a great protector. Rouge also is a great protector and supporter while Anna and I can use our Quirks to make some decent combos."
"Do you really think so?"
"We know so hon." Rouge said, speaking up for the first time. "You, Jason, and Lida would all make excellent Class Representatives."
"Thank you for your vote of confidence." Lida said.
"I believe in you Deku." Ochaco said confidently.
"Your courage and judgement at critical moments make you worth following." Lida added. "Your friends are confident in your abilities to lead, and from what I've seen. You have my support. That is why I voted for you."
"It was you?" Midoriya asked in shock.
"I voted for you too." Ochaco said.
"And me." Jason said.
"I voted for you too." Elsa said.
"I voted for Jason." Johnny said.
"Me too." Anna and Rouge said.
"Why did you guy's vote for me?" Jason asked.
"Because." Johnny said. "You are a natural born leader. Remember ten years ago at the park?"
"You mean when I nearly led you guys to your deaths?"
"Yeah. Thankfully, All Might was there."
"WHAT!" Lida and Ochaco yelled.
"You guy's tried fighting a villain when you were four?"
"Yeah." Jason said rubbing the back of his head. "Not my finest moment."
"But wait." Ochaco said. "Didn't you want to be Class Rep Lida?"
"Wanting to be Class Rep and being Suitable to be Class Rep are two different issues." Lida said sagely. "I merely did what I judged to be correct."
"Merely?" Midoriya and Ochaco said in unison.
"You don't usually use that word." Midoriya said.
"Oh, that's..."
"I've been thinking..." Ochaco said. "Are you a rich boy Lida?"
"Rich..." Lida gasped. "I tried to change how I talk because I didn't want to be called that."
Midoriya and Ochaco stared at Lida.
"Being rich isn't all it's cracked up to be." Jason said.
"You've got that right." Anna and Elsa said in unison before laughing.
Johnny and Rouge looked at their friends and were soon joined by Lida and Ochaco.
"Damn." Jason swore.
"Everyone spill your secrets!" Ochaco said excitedly.
Before anyone could say anything, an alarm went off.
"There has been a level three security breach." An automated voice said over the loudspeaker. "All students please evacuate promptly."
"What is a security three?" Lida asked an upperclassman.
"It means that someone is trespassing on school grounds." The student replied. "I've never seen anything like this in the three years I've been here! You should hurry too!" The upperclassman said leaving.
"It's probably the press." Jason said. "But in the event that it isn't we should get out while we can."
The hallways were crowded leaving Jason, Johnny, Rouge, Elsa, and Anna in the cafeteria.
"Where's Midoriya?" Jason asked.
"I'll see if he's in the crowd." Rouge said flying into the hallway.
She saw people pushing against each other until she saw Midoriya, Ochaco, and Lida. She picked them up and flew them back to the Cafeteria.
"Why did you do that?" Lida asked. "We were supposed to evacuate."
"Did you want to be trampled to death?" Rouge asked.
"No. Thank you for the assist." Lida bowed.
"You're welcome but stop bowing to me. We are classmates after all."
"Rouge." Jason said. "Can you fly over the crowd to see what's happening?"
"Yeah. Sure" Rouge said before flying over the crowd and looking outside. "It's the press!" She shouted to Jason.
"All right." Jason said before creating a megaphone. He looked over at Midoriya. "Do you want to do the honors? I mean you are the Class Rep."
"Um. No thanks. You can do it." Midoriya said.
"Okay." Jason said. "Anyone else?"
"Give me that." Johnny said taking the megaphone. "Hey!" He shouted into the Megaphone. "You guys can calm down now! It's just the press!"
"Ouch!" The students in the back said. "Watch it will you?"
"Yeah. Sure. As soon as you guys cool your jets."
The people in the front were still pushing.
Jason took the Megaphone and Whistled into it as loud as he could.
The people in the back complained as they slammed their hands over their ears.
"HEY!" Jason yelled. "If you people in the front will kindly stop moving and listen, I will tell you what the problem is!"
"The police are here!" One kid yelled.
"Oh good." Another said.
They were back in Class 1A after lunch.
"Come on Class Rep." Momo said.
"W-we need to talk about the other class officers." Midoriya said. "But first, can I say something?"
"Huh?" Momo said.
"I think... that Jason Todd or Tenya Lida should be Class Rep." Midoriya said.
"What?" Lida asked.
"WHAT!" Jason yelled.
"Lida has always been good at following the rules, and getting people's attention, and today Jason was able to lead and calm everyone down during the crisis. So, I suggest that they get to be Class Rep."
"Let's vote on this." Momo said writing Jason and Lida's names on the board. "All those who want Lida to be Class Rep?"
Tenya Lida- 13 votes.
"And all those who want Jason to be Class Rep?"
Jason Todd- 13 votes
"Mr. Aizawa." Momo said. "We have a tie, and we need a tie breaker."
"Then play rock, paper, scissors or something." Mr. Aizawa said.
"Is that even legal in this situation?" Lida asked.
"Just get this over with."
"Fine." Jason said looking at Lida. "Heads or tails?" He asked taking a coin out of his pocket.
Momo took the coin and inspected it.
"Heads." Lida said.
"Then I take tails." Jason replied.
Momo flipped the coin.
The class watched with bated breath as the coin spun up in the air before spinning down.
Momo caught the coin and put it on the back of her hand. She pulled her hand away in what seemed like slow motion. "Tails." She said. showing them the coin.
"Congratulations." Lida said. "I am sure that you are going to make an excellent Class Representative."
"Why can't I just give you the position?" Jason asked.
"ENOUGH!" Eraser Head shouted. "Jason. You are the Class Representative. We have taken too much time with this as it is. Now get up here and represent your class."
Jason walked up to the front of the class. "If I'm going to be the Class Representative then I will do so to the best of my ability. This means that I will treat you the way that you treat others. If you treat others well, then I will treat you well. If you treat others with disrespect, then I will treat you with disrespect until you learn respect. Now. Let's go over the other offices."
Outside the school Principle Nezu, Recovery girl, Midnight, and 13 looked at a portion of damaged wall.
"How were ordinary members of the press able to do this?" Principle Nezu asked. "Someone instigated this. Did someone evil slip in, or was this intended to be a declaration of war?"
The next morning a Villain was holding a family hostage.
"Listen Heroes!" The Villain shouted. "Don't follow me. Otherwise I'll kill this family."
Mt. Lady grit her teeth at the situation.
"It's fine now, family!" All Might yelled. "Missouri Smash!" All Might hit the villain knocking him out and grabbing the family. "Why? Because I am here on my way to work."
"AHH!" A woman yelled. "A hit-and-run!"
All Might groaned. "It'll be bad if I'm late, but..." He jumped off. 'Huh? I've gotten slower. After I gave young Midoriya 'One for All', my powers have been weakening.' He looked at his hand. 'On top of that, after forcing myself that time, the time I can spend in this form has gotten shorter than before.' All Might slammed his hand down on the car involved in the hit-and-run.
"Someone's barricaded themselves in the neighboring town!" A grocer said.
All Might jumped towards the next town.
U.A. High.
"For today's Hero Basic Training." Mr. Aizawa said. "It's turned into a class with three instructors, All Might, myself, and one other Hero."
The class became excited.
"Excuse me!" Sero said. "But what will we be doing?"
"Disasters, Shipwrecks, and everything in between." Aizawa said holding up a card with the word Rescue on it in bold, blue words.
There were murmurs throughout the class.
"Hey. I'm not done."
The class went quiet.
"This time you can decide if you want to wear your costume." Aizawa pressed the remote unlocking the lockers from the wall. "Because there are probably costumes that limit your abilities, too. The training will take place off-campus, so we're taking the bus. That is all. Start getting ready."
Everyone started getting ready.
They met out front.
"Oh." Ochaco said. "You're wearing your P.E. clothes. Where's your costume?"
"They got ripped during the combat training, so I'm waiting for the support company to fix it."
Johnny looked at Midoriya and gave him a thumbs up.
"Let's go people!" Jason said. "Let's go save some people."
Everyone went to the bus, and started getting on.
Everyone walked on and took their seats on the bus.
Rouge sat next to Kaminari while Anna and Elsa sat together.
Johnny sat next to Mina while Asui sat next to Jason and Ochaco sat next to Asui,
Mineta tried squeezing in between Anna and Elsa, but after Jason cleared his throat he moved away.
"I wish Lida had been picked instead of you." Mineta whispered.
"Quit acting like a pervert and I'll stop." Jason said. "Girls hate pervs like you, and if you keep it up then you'll die a sad, broken, bitter man!"
The bus went quiet at that."
"Was that really necessary?" Anna asked in a scolding tone?
"He needs to know that his actions have consequences. What better time than right now?"
"Isn't that a little hypocritical?" Toru asked.
"I know that my actions have consequences. I learned that at the age of four."
"I call bullshit!" Mineta yelled at Jason.
Jason got in close to Mineta. "Ask Johnny, Rouge, Anna, Elsa, and Midoriya." He asked in a dangerous tone.
Mineta looked at Rouge.
"It's true." She scoffed at him. "We thought that we could take out a Villain and Jason led us in that fight. If All Might hadn't shown up... we'd be dead."
Mineta looked at Anna and Elsa who nodded.
He looked at Johnny.
"It's true." Johnny said.
Mineta looked at Midoriya.
"I watched as my friends ran at a Villain. If All Might hadn't shown up, they would be dead right now."
"Speaking of All Might." Asui said to Midoriya. "Midoriya..."
"Um, yes, Asui?"
"Please call me Tsu."
"All Right." Midoriya stammered.
"Your Quirk is like All Might's."
"Huh! What! No it isn't! Do you really think so? But I'm... um..."
"Wait a second Tsu." Kirishima said. "All Might doesn't get hurt when he uses his Quirk."
"That we know of." Rouge said cryptically.
"They do look similar though." Kirishima said.
Midoriya let out a breath.
"Though it's nice having a simple augmenting-type Quirk. You can do a lot of Flashy stuff! My hardening is strong against others, but unfortunately it doesn't look like much."
"I think it's really cool." Midoriya said.
"Have you ever thought of sharpening it?" Jason asked.
"What?" Kirishima asked.
"Sharpening your edges? Have you ever thought about Sharpening them?"
"No. Do you think that could work?"
"If you're fighting someone who doesn't have a protective Quirk or armor, I think it could be effective."
"Jason tends to think that the best defense is a good offense." Johnny said.
"I see."
"What do you think I could do?" Tsu asked.
"Your Quirk is 'Frog', right?"
"Yes."
"Hm. Have you ever thought about using your tongue as a tripwire?"
"No. That sounds like it could be painful."
"It's just an idea. Or maybe you could charge someone and barrel into them with all your weight."
"If I picked up enough speed I suppose."
"What about me?" Lida asked.
"Have you thought about Mixed Martial Arts?"
"Yes."
"Hm. What if you were to compress your engine until the last second before you kick? It could be risky, so don't try it until you have practiced... If it will work."
"Thank you. I will consider it."
"What about me?" Yuga asked. "My Navel Laser is Pro-Level in both Flashiness and Strength."
"Until you get a stomachache." Mina said.
"I suggest you try and push your Navel Laser to its limits when you train so you can use it longer. I'm not saying to try for a minute, but try and hold it for one second, then two, then three, and so on. Eventually you will be able to get over the stomachache downside and use it at will." Jason advised.
"Thanks for the advice."
"What about me?" Mineta asked sheepishly. "My Quirk is no good."
"Every Quirk is good." Jason said. "You just have to find the good. I didn't really use my Quirk for the longest time because I thought I would hurt my friends and family, but I learned how to control it, and now I'm not as afraid of hurting them."
"Then what good is..." Mineta popped one of the purple balls off his head.
"You can use it for climbing up walls... regular walls and not the walls to the girl's locker rooms!" Jason said sternly.
Mineta looked sheepish.
"If you can learn how to use your Quirk properly then you can go pretty far in life."
"Do you really think so?"
"We're here." Aizawa said. "You can continue your conversation later."
"Yes sir." The students said.
When they disembarked, they were met by a hero dressed like a marshmallow astronaut.
"Hello everyone." The hero said. "I've been expecting you."
"Space Hero Thirteen." Midoriya fanboyed. "The gentlemanly hero who has rescued tons of people from disasters!"
"Oh, I love Thirteen!" Ochaco said.
"Better hurry up." Johnny Whispered to Midoriya. "Otherwise you might lose your chance with Ochaco."
Midoriya went beet red.
"Hurry." Thirteen said. "Let's get inside quickly."
"We look forward to working with you." The class said in unison.
They walked into the building and stared around in awe.
"Wow. It looks like the USJ!"
"A shipwreck, a landslide, a fire, a windstorm, et cetera." Thirteen said. "This is a training ground that I made with different types of disasters. It's called the 'Unforeseen Simulation Joint.' Or USJ for short."
"This is the USJ!" Half the class said in unison.
"Thirteen?" Aizawa asked. "Where is All Might? He was supposed to meet us here."
"About that..." Thirteen whispered. "...it would appear that he did too much Hero Work on his way to work and ran out of time, so he's resting in the lounge."
U.A. High teachers' lounge.
"Sorry." All Might said to Principle Nezu. "I should be able to go for a little bit at the end. I'm really sorry."
USJ.
"That's the height of Irrationality." Aizawa said. 'Well. We took precautions just in case.' "It can't be helped. Shall we begin?"
"Before we begin let me say one thing." Thirteen said. "Or two... or three... or four, or five, or six, seven..."
"Why is it increasing?" Someone asked.
"Everyone. I am sure that you are aware of my Quirk... 'Black Hole'. I can suck up anything and turn it to dust."
"You've been able to use your Quirk to save people." Midoriya said. "From all types of disasters, right?"
Ochaco nodded her head rapidly.
'It would be a great Villain Quirk.' Jason thought.
"Yes, but it is a power that can easily kill."
Everyone but Jason, Johnny, and Rouge gasped.
Jason noticed that Johnny and Rouge caught onto how dangerous Thirteen's Quirk was too.
"Some of you also have a Quirk like that too." Thirteen said. "In a superhero society, personal Quirks have been certified, and stringently regulated, so that doesn't seem to be a problem at first glance. However, please do not forget that there are many Quirks that can easily kill with one wrong step. With Aizawa's Physical Fitness test, you found out about the possibility of your own hidden powers, and with All Might's person to person combat training, I think you experienced the danger of using those powers against others." Thirteen looked at Jason and Johnny. "And how a dangerous mind is just as, if not more, dangerous than a dangerous Quirk."
Jason and Johnny rubbed the backs of their necks.
"This class is a fresh start. You shall use your Quirks to save people's lives. You do not have powers so you can harm others. I hope you leave here with the understanding that you have powers in order to help others."
Everyone felt a little more confident after Thirteen's speech.
"That is all." Thirteen said with a bow. "Thank you all for listening."
The class erupted into applause.
"All right then." Aizawa said trying to get the class back on track. "First..."
The electricity in the overhead lights went out, followed by the water from the fountain acting weird, and a purple/black portal opened up in the fountain.
Aizawa turned around just as Jason dropped into a fighting stance, Johnny grabbed his chain whip from his shoulder and Rouge hovered into the air.
A head poked through the portal.
"Gather together and don't move!" Aizawa said urgently.
Jason, Johnny, and Rouge stood in front of the students to offer the best protection they could.
"Thirteen. Protect the students!"
"What's that?" Kirishima asked.
Villains started walking out of the portal.
"Is this like the Entrance Exam where the lessons already started?"
"No." Jason said.
Midoriya began walking forward when Aizawa yelled. "Don't move!"
Midoriya looked at Aizawa as he put his goggles on.
Jason felt someone touch his hand, and figured it was Rouge. He created a pair of guns on his sides and a knife in his boot.
Johnny felt someone touch his hand and figured it was Rouge. He tightened his grip on his chain whip in case he needed to use it.
"Those are Villains." Aizawa said.
Everyone but the trio gasped.
Jason created a Batarang in each hand. 'We have a mole.' He thought.
AN: And so begins the USJ fight. How different will it be from canon, and how good of a Class Representative will Jason be?
