AN: Sorry this took so long, I had to fight this chapter and it still didn't really come out the way I wanted it but I have homework and can't continue to fight this
Shouta numbly answered his phone, his fingers running on auto pilot. "Nezu?"
"Shouta, I intercepted detective Tsukauchi's distress signal. I assume in is the feral child?" how Nezu had figured that out from the default distress message, Shouta will never know.
"Yes, it is." the underground hero pinched the bridge of his nose. He was going to need so much coffee.
"Good, put me on speaker." Shouta obliged. "Izuku Midoriya, to what do we owe the pleasure of this meeting?"
If the feral child was surprised upon hearing his name, he didn't show it. He simply smiled as though this were a friendly phone call. "I'm here to warn you that your students are about to be attacked, taken, and/or killed." A shocked silence followed from the other end of the line.
"Is that a threat?" nezu asked, point blank. The kid just laughed.
"No. personally I would have preferred if it was just me, but the league of villains had decided to get more… hands on in its projects. And recently they have acquired more hands. I've gathered profiles for the new recruits the league has gathered, but you still need my help." Shouta looked to Tsukauchi, who nodded, confirming the villain's words.
"And what help do you offer?" Shouta felt shivers go down his spine as the feral child smiled just as he had before he attacked the students at the sports festival.
"I'm so glad you asked."
Izuku made his way across town, feeling quite good about how his meeting with the heroes went. Hopefully, Izuku would be able to convince Tomura his upcoming absences are for research or training, which would be the truth. It just wasn't for him.
The heroes had agreed to let Izuku train the hero students on how to fight the league of villains.
The training sessions were scheduled to start in one hour, in the USJ gym off of UA's campus.
Izuku was well aware that the heroes could have simply set a trap for him and send him back to Stillwater, but if they did so they would be screwed when it came to the attack. Ether way, Izuku did everything he could to help.
There was also the problem of the spy the league had in UA. So, unbeknown to the students, they were going to be camping out in the USJ, completely cut off from outside communications and under 24 hour surveillance. They were going to hate it, but that would just make everything more amusing for Izuku.
He arrived to the USJ, scanning the surrounding area for hiding pro heroes or police, but only seeing the UA school bus. The feral child shrugged. He didn't figure he would be able to spot the ambush if they had one anyway.
Navigating his way into the facility, Nezu had left a single security breach for his to exploit but refused to tell him which one, Izuku could hear a familiar yelling.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE ARE STUCK HERE UNTILL THE SUMMER CAMP!" ah, it was Bakugou. Figures he would be the first to complain about the situation.
"Bakugou, we have already gone through this, it is for security reasons." Eraserhead sounded exhausted. Izuku almost felt bad for all the trouble he was going to go through for this plan. So, when Bakugou went to reply, Izuku figured he better step in.
"You really should listen to your teacher. He knows what he is doing." The feral child jumped down from his place in the shadows, completely unsurprised that all the students took up fighting stances immediately upon seeing him. All but one.
"You came back." Uraraka spoke softly as she hesitantly stepped around her classmates, closer to Izuku.
"Ya, I did. And I understand if you are mad about the USJ and the sports festival and even the hero killer thing, but I'm sorry, I swear I am so sorry, I never wanted to hurt anyone, but it was me or someone else and I was supposed to be better but I wasn't an I'm so-" Izuku rambled, unable to stop himself until Uraraka took matters into her own hands.
Izuku didn't even know how to respond as Uraraka hugged him. "I forgive you." The words left Izuku's mind in shambles as she pulled away to look him in the eyes, smirking. "I knew you weren't a villain." Izuku felt a smile fill his face, one far more genuine than he had worn in a long time. Sadly, the happy moment didn't last.
"DEKU!" oh, right. Bakugou. "Why is the hobo telling us you switched sides?! What are you trying to pull?!" the explosive blond didn't even give him a chance to respond before attacking with a big right hook, just like when they were kids.
Izuku slipped the hook, letting Bakugou overbalance himself and fall to the floor. "You never did learn anything from our previous fights did you kacchan. Still leading with a big right hook, just like a child." Bakugou charged in again, only to find himself back on the floor as Izuku tripped him. Maybe the feral child was taking a little joy in tormenting his old bully, but he was already a villain, he might as well go all out.
Bakugou screamed as he continued his attempted assault on Izuku, only managing to get knocked to the ground over and over, each fall harder than the last. It wasn't until Izuku threw the explosive blond over his shoulder that Eraserhead stepped in, wrapping both boys up in his capture weapon.
"Part of the deal was that you don't attack the students." Eraerserhead spoke in a deadpan tone, though Izuku could hear the rage seeping in underneath. But the green haired villain just shrugged at him with a 'what can you do?' look. Surprisingly, Erasehead released both boys, and quirk powered glare convincing Bakugou to give up the fight.
"Ok hero kiddies," Izuku addressed the students, smiling broadly at the glares they shot him. "just as my good friend Eraserhead was about to tell you, there is a major villain attack coming from the league of villains and they plan to try to kill or kidnap you, and you have to stay here under strict supervision, not only to prepare to fight off the attack, but also because the league has a mole in the hero course and we don't want my sensei to find out I told you this and trained you to win."
The villain watched the students faces carefully during his explanation, looking for any signs of panic or lack of surprise at the news. He saw many shocked faces, a few poker faces, and a couple angry faces.
Interesting.
"Aizawa-sensei, this can't be true! How could you let this villain onto UA grounds?!" it was Ilda who broke out of his shock first and protested, chopping his hands violently. Eraserhead just signed and pinched the bridge of his nose. Izuku almost felt bad about the headaches the underground hero was going to have to endure living with the hero students for two weeks. Almost.
"Yes, Ilda, it is true. Principal Nezu and the feral child made a deal after he came to us to warn us about the attack, he has a plan to take down the villains based on the profiles he made of them and shared with us." Eraserhead leveled the students with a glare. "You will treat his as though he is any other instructor at UA, at least until he trains you to fend off this attack."
"Yes, we are going to pull an uno reverse, ambush them when they think they are ambushing you." Izuku smiled brightly as Eraserhead turned his glare to him. "But that is going to take a lot of work." The smile took on a more sinister edge, causing a few students to shudder. "So, let's get started."
