( In Indian tik tok auntie voice ) Hello my followers ! Jokes aside can we all just take a moment to appreciate the Seconds actual quirk I really like it .
XxxxxXxxxxX
Nezu sighed before cracking his strangely humanoid knuckles and opening up his laptop . He'd finished all his work for today which meant he had some time to indulge in his recent hobby .
Gideon*
A mysterious analyst that despite only appearing four months ago was already a big name in the underground hero sector for top notch quirk analysis done in record time . He ( or she ) had more talent than some of the professionals Nezu knew . He'd also sent over evidence of any corruption in the heroes ranks and seemed to have grievances with the Shie Hassaikai. His work was excellent.
The issue here is that the identity of Gideon was unknown and while they were a benefit now without any glimpse at their personality Nezu couldn't be sure if a betrayal was coming . Gideon could simply be playing the long game and gaining their trust before leading them into a trap .
This of course wouldn't do , so Nezu had dedicated some free time to profiling Gideon. Sure he could just use some hacking to find a location. He clearly knew some hacking himself considering he covered his tracks quite well but it wasn't something Nezu would have trouble with.
But that took away all the fun .
Call it his base animal instincts but Nezu loved the thrill of the chase. How else would he push High Spec to its limit? After all how can he expect his students to go Plus Ultra if he couldn't ? That would be hypocrisy at it's finest !
So he logged on to a forum frequented by underground heroes and therefore by Gideon and the hunt began . Or at least that's what he was expecting. What he got was much better .
User Gideon has invited you to a chatroom . Accept ?
In a surprising turn it seems he was expected . His answer was obvious .
Gideon : I finally caught you at the right time . Your schedule is horrendous.
The Principal: Its much harder to ambush someone who changes the plans on a whim don't you think?
Gideon : A necessary paranoia , but enough about that I have business with you .
TP : Oh ? What could you possibly need me for ? Information perhaps ?
G : Later maybe . What I actually need is your reputation. I can't pull this off otherwise.
TP : That's quite the thing your asking for especially after we just met .
G : I wouldn't normally but its already a bit late for something like this .
G : I assure you my proposal is something that will benefit hero society as a whole.
TP : That's irrelevant while you are a decently respected person in the hero circle you've only been active for months. I can't stake my reputation on a rookies schemes .
G: Would a rookie know about this ?
( File sent . Open ? )
Opening the file Nezu wasn't afraid to admit he nearly had a heart attack . It was a photo of a man ,one that would be suspicious to anyone who got their hands on this chat but Nezu saw as the show of power it was .
On the screen was the scrawny body of Yagi Toshinori.
This just got dangerous .
TP : delete this before it becomes an issue .
It was done .
G : Now do I have your attention.
TP : What do you want ?
The tone was obvious. Nezu was on the back foot now .
G: Relax . Even if you deny my proposal I won't use this . He's an ally to us both .
G: Clearly you're to suspicious about me . Tell you what, pick a place I'll say what I want in person .
Gideon left the chat .
Nezu spent a couple moments staring at the laptop screen . Now composed he realised that he'd actually won that exchange . Of course it was more that Gideon seemed to be impatient about whatever it was they wanted . Enough to reveal all their cards and put themselves in a dangerous position .
Whoever Gideon was they just made quite the miscalculation .
XxxxxXxxxxX
Izuku had in fact miscalculated . In his haste to make his plan possible he not only made himself more suspicious but also forced a meeting he wasn't at all ready for in a location he wasn't ready for .
This plan wasn't even that good . Saying it was flawed was an understatement looking back it was downright stupid ! Sure bringing Endeavour's crimes to light would solve some of their problems but they would lose major fire power . Sure there were alternatives but he was the best option they had for foes like All for One or High End Nomus should it get that far .
And Nezu just told him to come to UA brilliant.
Thankfully Izuku had a wonderful mother .
" They have no idea what you want dear. You can just tell them about your time traveling like you planned to anyway , that'll clear up any suspicions . After that just admit your plan was bad and move on, nothing will come of you beating yourself up about it . You made a mistake that's fine . Calm down and keep moving ."
As always his mother was right . He was being to drastic with his changes of the timeline . If he kept on making changes like this he'd lose the precious foresight he possessed. If he wanted to keep his advantage he had to mitigate the butterfly effect.
He had to keep calm , he will save everyone but not by being drastic and definitely not without making sacrifices.
He knew himself enough to see his reckless plan was made to end Todoroki's suffering . As much as he wanted to help his friend , to save him from the abuse the fact was they needed Endeavour . Izuku could save Todoroki again but if he didn't go on internship with his father he might not grow quick enough to challenge Dabi .
His quirk analysis could only help so much. Todoroki needed his fathers experience with fire if he was ever going to grow as well as he did in Izuku's time . It wasn't a sacrifice he wanted to make but if he wanted to save everyone this is what he had to do .
' I'm sorry Todoroki , please forgive me.'
XxxxxXxxxxX
Well that got heavier than I thought it would but it's something Izuku had to learn he can't save everyone immediately not without consequences. I really liked writing it though I hope you understand my reasoning.
A reference to Sir Gideon Ofnir the All Knowing ! I'm a big fan of FromSoft the Soulsborne games are my favourite games of all time.
Anyway this AN is long enough .
( once more in Indian tik tok auntie voice) bye my followers !
