The place was full of chaos, villains and heroes going at it as they exchange blows. The UA school building was severely damaged, students running to safety while being protected by their teachers. Except for a large amount of students from class 1A who decided to join in on the action.
Shigaraki was in the middle of it, grinning madly with deadly intent in his eyes. A teenager was in front of him. Said teenager was a first year in class 1B who was trembling in fear. "I might as well kill one of your students while we're here" he laughed manically as heroes and students shouted in alarm. Before he could reach out his arm for the teens face, all of a sudden the teen's eyes flashed green and then there was a puff of smoke.
Everyone stood in shock except for the teens teacher and classmates who were familiar with his quirk and relaxed. As the white fog cleared, in the once terrifying villains place was a small terrified child with dark hair. The kids eyes darted from place to place in confusion and panic before someone behind him cursed and scooped him up into their hands.
"We don't have time for this, Kurogiri!" The man now revealed as Dabi called out to the man made of mist as he leaped through the portal, followed by the other members of their group.
"Later heroes!" Toga sung out as she entered the portal.
"It was a pleasure battling with you all" Compress bowed before following.
"Bye! Eat shit!" Twice and his alter ego said before repeating the same action as everyone else
And like that, they all disappeared. The teenager who was almost murdered sagged in relief before getting up and stumbling towards his teacher.
Everyone was confused but soon after were debriefed on the teens quirk. Vlad King quickly took over and explained his students quirk, "His quirk de-ages anyone who looks into his eyes while it flashes green. The amount of years that one is de-aged depends on the person. The amount of time that one stays that age depends on the age they were sent back to. How long do you estimate he'll stay that way?" he asked the boy still trembling a bit beside him.
Looking up, he says "I- I think since he looked to be 4 or 5, he'll most likely stay that way for a few months... m-maybe 2 or 3 months ... most people usually go back 1 or 2 years but the youngest one was 5 years old and she stayed that way for 2 and a half months" he stated.
Everybody's eyes widened. "Yes, well this gives us a chance to capture him while he's vulnerable. Of course he's now a child so we have to be gentle. Does that mean he lost all his memories from his current age to now?" Nedzu asked, curious for more new information. "Yeah, he uhm, he reverts back to both his past body and mind" All Nedzu does in hum before turns to the rest of the staff with a smile.
"First we'll get all the students back home to rest and then take care of the mess that was made. After that, UA staff members please gather in my office since it was luckily unharmed. We'll be having a meeting before you're dismissed to take care of yourselves"
-in the LOV's hideout-
"Now that I get a closer look at the kid, he looks almost nothing like his older self" Dabi said in disbelief while staring at the tense kid in front of im who can only stare back with wide eyes.
"Are you sure this is shiggy when he was younger? He looks so frail and innocent" Toga said while leaning forward from where she was perched on top of the counter.
"He looks so cute! His eyes are so wide and bright it makes me want to barf" Twice and his counter part said.
"Now now, lets give the kid some space. He must be frightened to be in such an unfamiliar place" Compress expressed, taking off his mask to reveal only his eyes and mouth showing. The rest of his face blocked by black fabric.
"Hello Shigaraki, do you remember me or anyone present in this room" he smiled down at the trembling child who just blinked and cocked his head.
He mumbled something but they didn't understand him. "Can you repeat that for me please" Compress encouraged, smile still plastered on his face as the rest of the league only watched.
"T-that isn't my name" the boy said nervously. Everybody blinked in surprise 'Who would have thought...'
"Well then, what is your name then huh mini shiggy?" Toga said adding herself into the conversation. The boy jumped in surprise before answering her question after a hesitant pause.
"My n-name is Tenko... Tenko Shimura" He said slowly while glancing up at her shyly. "When can I go b-back to my mom? She said I'm not allowed to talk to strangers" he added quickly while fidgeting with his hands.
"About that kid, your older self was hit with a quirk that turned you into whatever age you are now so I don't think we can really find your parents anytime soon." Dabi piped up from his spot on the stool while getting harsh looks from those around him. "What? You'd rather lie to the kid or something. Best not to get his hopes up since we don't even know how long he'll stay like this"
Everyone understood but Magne still rolled her eyes as she said "could have broke the news a bit more gently you know, he's still like 4 or something" Tenko replied to this comment even though he was still processing everything he was just told, "I-I'm actually 5"
Dabi just scoffed and got up to leave. Nobody stopped him.
"So I can't see my mom? Or my sister?" Tenko said eyes beginning to water
"You have a sister Sh- Tenko?" Toga said, slipping a bit at the name. "Yeah!, she's really nice and always plays with me and she believes in my dream to be a hero and she's like, really nice!" He said instantly beaming as he repeated his praises for his sister.
But everyone was too focused on the fact that he just said he wanted to be a hero. Shigaraki (or well now Tenko) just said he wanted to be a hero. The guy who hates every hero like they killed his dog.
"W-whos your favorite hero Tenko?" Toga asked while trying and failing to contain in her laughter at the irony. Spinner and Twice weren't better off, as Spinner doubled down laughing.
"I like All Might the most, he's super cool and strong!" Tenko yelled out in glee, fist in the air and mouth spread into a wide smile which would make some of them awe if it weren't for the topic at hand.
"O-Oh my god, Dabi is going to love this" Spinner said from the corner of the room.
The whole time they were all talking, Kurogiri was watching behind the counter while cleaning some cups as usual.
"Would you like a cup of juice or milk young Tenko? You look quite dehydrated" Kurogiri spoke up for the first time while the others except for Compress and Magne were still calming down.
"U-uhm, that's alright... you don't have to" Tenko said while biting his lip, going back to his nervous state. "Nonsense, I insist" Kurogiri said while already grabbing a cup from the cabinet.
"Okay uh, juice please" he said with a hesitant smile. Both Magne and Compress sat alongside Tenko on the stools as they were also given their beverages.
"Why are they laughing? Do I not become a hero in the future" Tenko said, looking down sadly as he sipped on his juice. "No, it's something else. Let's call it an inside joke involving the other you" Compress said
Magne snorted "Yeah, an inside joke"
Tenko just nodded and watched as the three strange adults (the pretty girl looks like a teenager though) continued to laugh although it was less dramatic than before.
