I was gone for much longer than I thought I would be, so long that season 6 is already airing…like damn. Anywho, this was something I smashed together in around 4 days' time, which is a shorter time than I normally take, but it has been long enough. With this chapter, we're back in the present with the HIVE 5, so let's get back into things, shall we?
Chapter 7: Unfolding Plans
(UA – First Year Sports Festival Stage)
"Hold on, what do you mean that Ingenium has been taken down?" Izuku asked over the phone.
"It's just like I said, Stain took the guy out. Some people saw it and posted it on social media." Julius replied to him as he had been just searching through his socials to pass the time in between the events on for the 2nd years when this hot little piece of internet rumors started popping up. It didn't take long for him to search it and see images being posted.
"Which means that the younger Iida could learn about it any minute now. This could compromise our observations of him." Beatrice noted as they already had seen the youngest Iida take to the field and while not as impressive as some of his other classmates, he was still quite the student.
"Can you confirm this?" Izuku asked as this could mess with what they already planned.
"Yeah, Sienna just finished a call with Kurogiri. He just finished setting up a meeting with Stain and can confirm that Stain took him and two others down." Julius replied as Emily was texting both Sienna and Abraham who were watching the third years in action.
"Did he kill them?" Beatrice asked, not at all concerned about the potential loss of human life and more along the line of how this will make their jobs harder.
"He didn't say, but going from the images being posted, Ingenium is being loaded up into an ambulance so he might survive. The other two aren't so lucky, they came out of there in body bags." Julius said as he checked the image before downloading it onto his phone, no doubt government censors will find and take down the images soon so he needed to get a copy of them before then.
"Hold on, I'm making this a group chat," Julius said to them as he went about setting one up, it didn't take all that long for Izuku to also get a notification on his own phone inviting him to the group chat which he quickly entered. "Everyone here?"
"We're here. Had to find a quiet spot first." Abraham said as he and Sienna stood in an empty hallway so that they could discuss this in full. They could trust that between the two of them, they'll pick up anyone or anything trying to spy on them long before any eavesdropper could hear anything.
"We're listening. So, what's our play?" Sienna asked, her ears twitching ever so slightly as they worked to ensure they heard anyone approaching.
"We'll have to meet up with Tomura first and see what he thinks about this. He is our boss for the time being." Izuku pointed out before they could do anything. And as much as they hated it, they weren't operated as a completely independent team this time round, they had someone to answer to.
"Knowing him, he'll see this as a good thing and nothing more. He wouldn't stop to think about the fact this will attract more pros to the area where Ingenium went down." Beatrice noted as they had already seen that the man-child had a whole lot of growing up to do. It was annoying enough having to listen to him use gamer terms to describe things like he was 12 years old.
"By the way, where did he go down?" Sienna asked him, she hadn't really checked up on pro patrols as of late nor did she follow Stain's attack patterns.
"Hosu," Julius told them.
"Oh for the love of-It had to be the city we were planning our operation in. Do we pull back?" Abraham asked as the bank they planned to rob was in Hosu. One of the reasons they had even chosen the site was because the city had a relatively low crime rate and villain attacks, meaning that there would be fewer pros that can intervene but after this, that was sure to change, at least in the short term.
"And lose out on that massive pay-day. They'll be transferring most of the money to a secure location soon. If we don't hit it when we planned to, we can say goodbye to all that cash." Emily reminded them.
"She's right. We checked around. We haven't found a location with as much cash as we would want. It would be dangerous to just assume we could fund one in time and properly scout it." Julius agreed with her. They were lucky that they were able to find out about this golden egg from the league's info broker, Giran. The odds of another opportunity just landing in their laps were next to zero.
"So, we won't change our plans, not too much." Izuku will need to check up on information on the side-kicks that worked under Ingenium and other pros that he may have good relations with as chances are, they'll be prowling around Hosu looking for Stain until he is either captured or moved on to another city as was his pattern. If he recalled the numbers, Stain typically took down 7 pros per city before leaving, with Ingenium and two others down, which leaves just 2 left for Hosu.
"What was Kurogiri meeting with Stain about anyway?" Abraham asked as they let Izuku do his thing and quietly mutter to himself all the alterations and changes the plan would need. It wasn't as bad as when they first met, but the guy did have a habit of voicing his thoughts aloud, though he tended to speak too softly and fast for most to even catch what he was talking about.
"Tomura wants him to join the league," Sienna replied as she had asked the shadowy bat tender the same thing.
"He won't. Tomura is far too immature to convince him and they're too different. Stain has ideals and Tomura just wants destruction." Izuku stated, re-joining the discussion as he could already see several problems with that prospect.
"So, the meeting won't be pleasant. Got it, we shouldn't all show." Beatrice nodded her head. It would will some of them free time to do whatever they wanted.
"Yes, just Sienna and Beatrice should do. The less he knows about us, the better. We may need to take him out later." Julius told the two of them, who nodded their heads at their team leader's directives.
"You think we're up to it?" Emily asked him with a coy smile, though she was worried about this.
"Please, the guy only uses blades, they wouldn't have a chance of getting past my armor,". Stain may be a hero killer but so was he.
"I wouldn't rush to do so. Tomura may not be able to convince him but maybe we can." Julius advised against it as it would be a shame to lose such an ally.
"What makes you think he'll work with hired guns?" Sienna asked him, something they were all wondering since it was known that Stain had some ideals to him that made him think himself better them a criminal.
"I can be persuasive when I want to be. It is my best skill." Julius reminded them.
"Until you need one of us to bail your ass out of the fire." Beatrice joked to him, which lead to the group laughing at their fearless leader's expense.
"Oh, hardy ha-ha. Screw you guys. We'll continue this chat later, just focus on learning all you can from these games." Julius replied to her, looking annoyed in the group chat but they all knew he was just as amused as they were.
"Got it," Abraham said as he signed off.
"Sure," Sienna replied, soon all of them had signed off and gone back to what they had been doing before.
"This will complicate things," Izuku said as he took a deep breath through his nose. He hated unforeseen complications.
"We've been trained for this and have dealt with….complications in the past. This will be no different." Beatrice said as she leaned into his side as the two went back to watching the 1st years in action, which was good since the second event had just been explained and was gearing to start.
(Later)
"Interesting. Truly interesting. As I figured, he made it to the final round." Izuku said as he looked to the side where Bakugo's team had scored third place, against the odds.
"And not just he, the Yaoyorozu heiress, little Ingenium, and the spawn of Endeavour also made it to the finals. Was that their heritage or their skills?" Beatrice joked as she did find it amusing that all three that came from wealthy backgrounds made it to the finals. Of course, she didn't suspect anything, the game was structured in a way that outside influence would have been more trouble than it was worth but still.
"I would say a healthy mixture of the two. That Todoroki seems to enjoy using that power of his, but I wouldn't call him dumb." Izuku replied as he had been quite interested in how the boy had used his power. Granted it seemed like he was far too used to being able to muscle his way out of situations but he also was quite intelligent in how he did it. He didn't just throw his power around. That combined with the fact he brought together such a well-structured team made him quite a hero student.
"But what I'm interested in, is the fact that boy from general made it as well. What was his name again?" Beatrice asked as it had come out of nowhere for most of the audience but not to them. The two of them had seen how a tired-looking boy and his team went about this. They stuck to the back wings, let others have the spotlight, and got what they wanted without incident. That was a feat in and of itself.
"Hitoshi Shinso. They haven't said anything about his quirk yet though." Izuku replied.
"Smart, they wouldn't want to give the hero course any more advantage than they already do, seeing how they're the only ones with actual combat training," Beatrice responded as they hadn't been able to make out what his quirk was, only that it must be some sort of mental power as none of his teammates had to get physical to gain points. Their targets would just freeze long enough for the Shinso as the rider to snatch up headbands and make a quick escape. One team that seem to not know the meaning of quiet was team Monoma, who repeatedly went after Bakugo's team. Even when there were easier targets.
"We'll see them all in action soon enough," Izuku started as the students were dismissed for a small break, which was a good thing seeing how the final 16 would need the time to rest and grab a bite to eat. "Hold on." He added in as he noted that Todoroki approached one of his classmates, one that hadn't been on his team, and then walked off with them, alone.
"What is it?" Beatrice asked him.
"It seems like Todoroki wishes to have a small chat with a fellow classmate," Izuku said as he and Beatrice watched as the two walked down a path the others weren't taking. Now, they could be just like them and they are dating but it never hurt to be sure about something.
"It's that Uraraka girl. What does he want with her?" Beatrice asked as she did recall how the girl seemed to make herself weightless during the first event and then used some powerful air-flick of all things to launch her forward. It clearly wasn't planned or something she had done before since she crashed and only placed 8th in the first event because of it.
"I don't know," Izuku said as he got up from his chair with a small smile on his face. "But I'll find out."
"Are you sure that's wise? This is enemy territory." Beatrice asked him as though their booth was secure and how no cameras or listening devices, who's to say the rest of the stadium was the same.
"I've broken into and out of worse. We both have, besides," Izuku said as he pulled something out of his pocket and showed it to her. "I need to plant these cuties." He finished with a smirk as he showed her the tiny, little disk-like device in his hand. It was no bigger than a coin but it was also a cutting-edge piece of hardware.
"Gizmo?" Beatrice asked with a smile that made her appear far more dangerous than normal.
"Gizmo." He answered as he put the listening device away. It wouldn't do for someone to see him holding it.
"Then make sure to get back before the matches start up." Beatrice laughed as he made his towards the door.
"I'll get you a Kit-Kat while I'm out," Izuku said as he looked back at her one last time before exiting the room.
"No soda, just mineral water!" Beatrice yelled through the door before he got too far away.
(Later – in the many hallways of the stadium)
'Where did you two get off two?' Sometime later, Izuku found himself creeping through the underbelly of the stadium as he worked to try and find his target and not be detected by any security, but the thing was that there was a disturbing lack of such.
'For a top hero school, the level of security is laughable. No motion sensors, no large locked gates, checkpoints, and barely any cameras. That rat is as arrogant as they came. Did they truly believe no one would attack like at the UJS?' Izuku wondered to himself as he couldn't make out any sort of security measure. Come to think of it, they were barely screened when they entered the premises, the staff focused more on the media staff than the average people.
"Uraraka, are you All Might's secret love child or something?" He heard someone pick up ahead of them, just behind the bend that he could see lead out into the open going by the sunlight.
'Found you.' He thought to himself as he moved silently into position, standing with his back to the corner so that he could see anybody approaching from either side and still hear the conversation.
"Secret….love child…?" He heard the girl, Uraraka, reply to the question. Now that he thought about it, that was kinda out of nowhere. The two looked nothing alike.
'There is no info on All Might's civilian life so it wouldn't be impossible. The man is certainly old enough to have a teenage daughter.' Izuku thought to himself but he doubted that the girl was related to him. When they researched the number one, even during his days at UA, there was no info or even plausible rumors about him dating anybody. The same was true when he went pro and although the odds of him just being good at hiding his private life were good. There were no known interactions with Toshinori Yagi and Uraraka's family.
"Well, are you?" Todoroki asked, he sounded somewhat impatient though.
"No! It's not like that, I can assure you that I have a mom and dad and my pops isn't All Might." Uraraka defended herself, though she sounded more worked up than one would expect.
"Since you said it's not like that, I can assume that there is a connection between the two of you. Just not one akin to a father/daughter relationship." Oh, it seems that Todoroki was as observant as he was since he caught that wording as well. So, there was a connection between the two. He doubted that the number one would have a romantic relationship with an underage girl so perhaps he had taken a shining to her. Teachers all had favored students after all.
"As you already know, my father is Endeavour. He's been stuck as the number two since forever, even before we were born forever." That was common knowledge, All Might had been at the top of the pile for over two decades now. The man was a seasoned veteran with more power in one hand than most pros had in their entire body. "If there is some kind of connection between you and All Might, then that is more incentive for me to beat you." Okay, was this some sort of challenge between the two camps?
'This might yield something, but I can't stay here.' Izuku thought to himself as he could see that the two didn't know there was another person there. It would be had if he was caught, so he was forced to leave but not before tossing one of those listening devices toward the ceiling. There no one would see it and it could be able to capture the entire conversation for later. As he quietly walked off, he pulled out a burner phone that was connected to the listening devices and started to listen in, acting like he was just answering a call.
"My father has a strong desire to rise up in the world. As a hero, he has won himself a name with crushing force. Because of that, the living legend All Might, is an eyesore to him."
'So, Endeavour has some pride issues, does he? Interesting.' Izuku concluded from the way Todoroki's tone changed in that sentence.
"Since he couldn't defeat All Might himself, he moved on to his next plan." The boy's tone took a dark tone at this part. What was he implying, was Endeavour planning to kill All Might or something?
"What are you talking about, Todoroki? What plan? What does this have to do with us?"
"You've heard of quirk marriages, right?"
'Oh?' Oh, Izuku wasn't liking where this was going. Not one bit.
"It became a problem for the second and third generation of people with quirks. The practice of choosing a spouse solely because of what quirk they processed, in order to strengthen your own and pass that strength to your children. This super-powered age didn't just stagnate society but it also brought back the old practice and beliefs of eugenics. It was clearly unethical, against morals and modern norms but no one cared about that anymore. To them, it was worth throwing aside their ethics."
'Don't tell me…'
"My father is a man of many accomplishments, both of whom have garnered him impressive wealth and influence. He used that to buy out my mother's relatives to obtain her quirk."
"Oh no, don't tell me….he wouldn't."
"He did, he figured that if he could never best All Might, then he'll create a hero that would. I'm the fourth and youngest of my siblings, all of whom he deemed failures because they didn't manifest the quirk he wanted them to. I did."
'That flaming son of a bitch. He deemed his own kids' failures for not having some quirk he wanted them to?' Hearing all this, Izuku found himself growing in ire for the number two hero. All that just to best All Might? Did he care nothing for the job, for the profession? Was this all that he could call himself the best? Then he had the balls to declare his kids' failures just because they may not have the power to live out his dreams, not their own but his. This guy was a pageant mom on steroids.
"Of all my siblings, I was the only one. The only one cursed to both his power and blessed with my mothers. From the day I found out what my quirk was, He decided that I would become his way to surpass All Might."
"It's so annoying, I refuse to become his…tool, to obey his twisted wishes." Good for you, Todoroki, though if he was in your shoes, he would have done much worse to his dad if he did half that, heck he did do worse.
"In my memories, my mother is always crying. I don't recall a single day that went by when she wasn't sad or crying. I couldn't even begin to imagine what she went through, all those years with that bastard. All I do know is that one day, it became too much for her to handle."
"Too much to handle?" Uraraka asked him, sounding as scared as he was at that choice of words.
'Oh lord, please tell me it didn't end like that.' Izuku pleaded with himself as he may have not known about this or ever met the Todoroki family but dammit, he didn't want a mother to have to crack and kill herself.
"'Your left side is unsightly', those were her words to me as she tossed boiling water unto my face, giving me this for life.'
"Oh god…" Uraraka worded, something he shared as it was a mystery why the boy had the scar in the first place.
"Sorry, but I picked this fight with you, to show my old man just what I'm capable of, without using his power. No, I'll reject him completely but winning this whole thing, defeating everyone here, with just my mother's gift to me."
"But that's not true!" Uraraka yelled back at him, seemingly getting a second wind to her from her tone.
"What?"
"Your father is a bad man, a very bad person but you can't go on like this. I know that our lives have been very different. That you of had to endure pain and loss that I couldn't even begin to imagine, the thought of my mom doing such a thing….it terrifies me." She admitted that to which he could agree, he was a man who both loved and respected his mother. Those years when she wasn't on his side were the toughest of his life, but if she had actively hurt him, he couldn't imagine what that would have done to him.
"Then why-"
"But it's your life! You get to choose your path, no one else! He may be your father but his quirk is Hell-flame or whatever, your quirk….your quirk is Half-Cold Half-Hot. That's your power and yours alone." Hmm, was she trying to…help him? She must have known full well this was a competition, why aid that said competition against herself?
"I have so many people who believe in me, so many who have helped me get to this point. But so do you. You said you have siblings, don't you want to show them that you're better than him? That you won't let anger and hate make you into something ugly?" Oh, that was why? She wished to save him….that was oddly quite heroic.
"Todoroki, the future isn't set in stone. Please, don't let your hatred destroy yours."
"…I've never thought about it like that….but still." Todoroki didn't sound as sure as he once did, this must have been a new experience for him.
"I don't expect you to just get over this, this is something that will take time. But think about what I said, okay?"
"Are you sure you're not related to All Might? You seem to have the same power to somehow meddle in others' affairs."
"No, he and I aren't related. I'm pretty sure I'll would know that." Uraraka replied to the question with a rather sweet-sounding laugh.
"Quite the pair, those two are." Izuku mused to himself as he looked down at the screen and saw that the whole thing had been recorded, as the phone was designed to do. Seeing that the two had left, he ended the call but opted to leave the device on, who knows, he may pick up more info later. 'For someone so young and inexperienced, she sure is quite wise. But that begs the question, what is her connection to All Might? I'll have to speak with the others about this.'
(With Beatrice)
"Hahahaha, I can't believe it. They brought in cheerleaders from the states for this. UA really does have a lot of money to burn." The panda-looking girl laughed to herself. She didn't really see the appeal but then again, she had seen this kind of thing enough times that it lost its charm. But there was something that did catch her attention.
"But then, why the hell are those girls in cheerleader costumes too?" She asked herself as she looked to the side and saw every girl from 1-A was dressed up as well. That was strange, why were they the only ones? Sure 1-A was under more spotlight than the other classes but that just seemed like overkill. She could tell that the tallest girl, Yaoyorozu seemed to have a problem with this as she yelled at some of the boys from her class but she couldn't make anything out so she left that be and instead waited for the finals to be explained.
"Just as I thought, it's a one versus one tournament style set-up. Do they only care for combat ability?" Beatrice said to herself as she heard the door to her booth being opened. She didn't bother turning around, already knowing who it was and only holding out an outreached hand.
"Most likely, UA is a hero school after all. And most pros these days are just glorified brawlers, the average isn't even that good here compared to places like the US east coast." Izuku spoke up, having heard her question as he placed her water in her hand before sitting down. With him, he had also brought a couple Kit-Kats and a large pack of jelly babies for himself.
"You got what you needed?" Beatrice asked him as she looked at him out of the corner of his eye.
"Yeah, they didn't have any sour babies but they did have these," Izuku replied as he took the time to swing by the food stands outside and grabbed some food for them. "Here's your Kit-Kat." He finished as he handed her two large chocolate bars.
"Anything new?" He asked as the two of them ate their sweets and waited for the third and final game set-up to be explained.
"Only recreational games, nothing worth mentioning from either hero class," Beatrice replied as it had been rather boring watching the students fool around. She could see the entertainment value but that wasn't why she and so many others were here.
"Most likely are saving their strength for the finals, smart move," Izuku said as that felt like the most logical thing to do in this case. As they listen to Midnight explain the final event and the rules, one of the students, Ojiro rose up his hand and asked to forfeit, much to the confusion of the crowd.
"Oh? He wants to drop out?" Beatrice asked as this was rare, how many times had some wanted to drop out of the festival?
"It seems his pride gets in the way of things; we can use that against him," Izuku answered as they listened to his explanation as to why he didn't feel like he deserved it.
"And he isn't the only one either, those two also wish to forfeit. They were all on Shinso's team, that can't be a coincidence." Beatrice added in as they saw that another boy, this one from 1-B also asked to drop out.
"What are you thinking? That they may have not been willing to partner with him?" Izuku asked her with a smile, thinking the same thing as she was.
"Well, we already know his power must be some sort of mental-based one. I would say he forced them to team up with him. Why else would they feel bad about this?" Beatrice explained as she bit into her chocolate.
"So, they basically were his glorified tools? Oh, that's gotta hurt their pride." Izuku summarised as Midnight allowed the three to leave the field and be replaced by three others. To him, he didn't see the problem in it as they were taught that everyone uses everyone for something, even friends and loved ones. The trick is to not get too upset about it and try to rationalize it. After all, in this case, they may have been used without their permission but in return, they made it to the finals, something most of the other students didn't, it was mutually beneficial.
"Either way, we'll get to see 16 students show off what they can do, any thoughts?" Beatrice asked him as the match-ups were displayed and to Izuku's slight surprise, Uraraka was paired up against Bakugo. With their other prime targets, Yaoyorozu would face off against Tokoyami, Iida against a student from the support class by the name of Hatsume and Todoroki would fight his classmate Sero. That last one didn't seem fair to her but life wasn't fair so she was tempted to skip it since they both knew that Todoroki would win.
"If that Shinso really has some kind of mental power, he has a solid chance of winning this whole thing, especially if the activation requirement isn't too high and the others don't know about it," Izuku said as they saw that Shinso would go up against Kirishima, a brawler against a planner, that was the setup they were seeing. If Kirishima could land even a single blow, he'll win since Shinso didn't look all that in shape, quite skinny in fact but if he could gain control over the boy and make him fight himself or even just walk out of bounds, the match would be his. "That being said, we also can't factor out Todoroki and Bakugo. Those two have a strong case." He finished as he had a strong feeling that his former friend would make it to the finals.
"Why not Iida and Yaoyorozu?" Beatrice asked him, both could make a fine target to take down, especially since they came from such wealthy backgrounds.
"Yaoyorozu didn't show much drive in the first and second events, I can't imagine that changing now. She doesn't have her head in the game for some reason. Iida may be a solid thinker, but he's too strict, too rigid in his approach. The others can take advantage of that." Izuku explained as he had watched them all very closely and seen that both had inherent flaws that the other two did not. Iida was strong but he wasn't much of an on-the-spot thinker and he was rather stiff, both mentally and physically. Yaoyorozu was smarter, most likely the smartest one there from what little they had seen but books-smarts don't translate into fighting smarts very well. She also didn't appear to be someone that could take charge and more likely was a follower, she wouldn't be able to make decisive decisions in the heat of the moment.
"Well then, I suppose time will tell. Especially since Uraraka goes up against Bakugo in the first round. You learn anything about that?" Beatrice asked him, referring to when he went off to find out what Todoroki wanted from her.
"I didn't hear anything about her quirk or fighting style, but from how she had performed so far, I would say she had a fair chance of winning," Midoriya replied as he was still thinking about that. All Might must favor her for a reason, right? Was it her drive, her power, or some mix of the two? Either way, if she had the attention of the number one and the prime target of the league, then she was assured to put on quite the show for them.
(Later – After the Sports Festival)
"Quite the eventful day, wasn't it?" Later that afternoon, the group found themselves riding the train back home. They had stayed not only to watch the festivals but also the reward ceremony as well.
"Anything happen on your end?" Beatrice asked everyone else.
"Not really, some guy did lose his clothes during the match. That was something." Abraham told the group, which surprised them as they didn't know how to respond to that.
"Yeah, then there was one that seemed as scared as a chicken," Sienna added in as she was also confused and quite irritated by that little nude feast. It didn't help that the guy was built like a Greek God and dominated the match in only his underwear. "You guys see anything good?" She asked to distract herself from that mental image.
"Not really, those 2nd years didn't stand as out much as I thought they would," Emily replied, sad that they didn't get to see anything big happen on their end.
"It was pretty boring most of the time." Julius agreed with her as he was expecting more from UA, what they saw was quite subpar to what he was led to believe.
"Well, we got to see the son of Endeavour go up against a mad bomber," Izuku stated with a tone of barely hidden disgust as he was still thinking about what he had learned about Endeavour. He would need to contact HIVE and have them dig up anything they can about him and his family.
"And?" Emily asked him, eager for any juicy details that can be obtained.
"They knocked each other out. One KO and the other out of bounds, they tied." Izuku replied as the two had faced off in the finals and had fought each other for a full 14 minutes before the match ended. It was ice and explosions everywhere. He wasn't sure how ice fragments didn't hit the audience since most of it ended up as shrapnel.
"They had a tiebreaker which Bakugo won." The tiebreaker in question was an arm-wrestling contest. Not the showiest but seeing how both looked like death after their fight, it made sense. Bakugo proved to be stubborn and just outlasted Todoroki's remaining reserves before taking the victory.
"He must have been pleased about that," Abraham noted.
"Not really, he looked pissed off by it," Beatrice replied as the guy looked downright murderous at the end there. Though when he was given his first-place medal, All Might said something to him that got him to calm down again.
"Why?" Sienna asked as she looked out the window at the passing countryside as the bullet train went along.
"Hell, if I know, the guy was always just a ball of rage and pride. Probably wanted more from this or something." Izuku answered as he saw that his old bully was vastly different from what he once was, so until he got more data on him, he didn't feel comfortable making any calls about his odd behavior.
"We'll discuss things in detail later, for now, I'll contact Tomura and see if we can't get you two there for the meeting with Stain. The rest of us will look over our present plans." Julius informed them as he took out a small book and started to read. His word proved final as none of them said anything against it.
And that is that. The sports festival is done and over with. The next time we get back with them, we'll see their meeting with Stain and some parts of Bakugo's interactions with his classmates.
Equinoxhun: Yes but it'll be a side-plot kinda deal.
