TW: mentions of underage sexual assaults

Izuku hates life right now.

His first day of school, and not only was he stressing to avoid Ass Might from talking or going near him, but his thermal suit also failed to keep his body warm and protected from the water, got electrocuted by this boy he likes and on top of all that, swallowed the same fucking water and got pneumonia not long after!

Izuku sat on his bed with a pillow behind him for support despite his body screaming for sleep, he felt that he had slept enough, yet his body shivered from the fever he was currently having, moaning from the dizziness that came with it.

"I hate being weak…"

The verdanette barely recalled the event after the water shock, yet he could have sworn Katsuki was checking on him with a sound of panic and being picked up by Shouto to take him to Recovery Girl. Everything became hazy after that until he heard Momma Mitsuki yelling asking what the hell happened. Izuku chuckled a bit before his head throbbed, even unconscious he feared her angry side.

Currently, Poppa Masaru was taking care of him while Momma was at work and Katsuki went back to school. It took a lot of persuasion and sick puppy eyes to melt his brother's stubbornness. It was for the best, his brother needed to make friends.

Izuku's stomach rumbled a bit and nausea came after. His body needs calories, but at this time, he can only handle light foods, like rice and broth. For some reason, which he had added to his Quirk journal, when he goes into thermal shock the fiery wings disappear and surround his core as a survival instinct. He had tried to get them to come out since the verdanette was no longer in danger, but it looks like after observation, it is a passive ability. Once the body recovers, he guessed, he will be able to use his Quirk again, but damn he misses katsudon right now.

Speaking of food, Izuku was in kind of a torturous situation. He was currently on the worst possible diet he could think of on this planet: the slurry. He has a grudge against the person who gave it to him too, despite it being for the best. Recovery Girl had given him a powder that thickens liquid to a slimy jelly and several times he had regurgitated back up, the texture reminding him of what he was forced to swallow in the past. They did not have the same fucking taste, thank god, but the texture…he does not want to remember any of it!

Tears started falling as his mind was forced to relive images and events he was forced to do with those…monsters. The pain was unbearable, every time they rearranged his organs, suffocating him from their sizes, vomiting their…seeds…and that bitch of a mother would just laugh, drink her sake, film everything, take payments, and laugh some more.

Inko: Scream louder Izuku, that's it! Scream like the whore you are!

Man 1: This Quirkless slut is squirming so much, I already came twice inside him!

Man 2: Swallow my jizz, cum dump!

Inko: That is all you are good for, a weak, quirkless, cocksucker.

Inner Izuku: You are weak, you allowed them to do this…you are tainted…used…ruined…why live…

"I am so weak…is it even worth it to continue?"

"What is wrong, Izuku?"

Izuku jumped and looked to the right of him and Masaru was sitting next to his bed with a tray of lunch. He was looking at the verdanette with concerned eyes, seeing that his boy was crying and mumbling negativities to himself.

"P-poppa…" Izuku stuttered as he wiped the tears away and shifted himself up straighter with the help of Masaru. "S-sorry, I was…remembering some things…things I don't want to remember…"

Masaru nodded and was quiet for a few moments, allowing Izuku to continue. "M-mo-She treated me so poorly all those years and forced me to do things no child should suffer with, and she just laughed about it. I had no choice but to take it, as I believed that I had no one to turn to…even if it nearly killed me, I had no choice."

Fresh tears of frustration fell off the verdanette's face as his flashbacks came to him in fast forward. "I could not fight back, couldn't talk back, couldn't run away or even ask for help. It was like I was so weak and pathetic that I allowed them to do this to me, no matter how much it hurt, how much I was torn! I couldn't save myself! I just took everything and obeyed!"

"I understand you felt like you had no choice, Izuku, and I am sorry that we weren't there for you. You did what you thought was best to survive, but you are no longer in that situation and never will be again, at least not in regard to her. Hopefully, there won't be any other issues in the future, but you know as well as I, that sometimes things happen beyond our control." Masaru said gently, handing him cloth for Izuku to wipe his face. "As I understand, Inko and Mitsuki used to be close and the level of betrayal she gave your momma was a hard blow as well. Inko was able to fool not just Mitsuki, but also me into believing she was a good person. When we found out what she had done to you, we agreed that we could never forgive her and that you not only deserved love but needed it so badly. We wanted to be the ones to give you that love since she never did. She not only tormented you but us too, we love you."

Masaru then gave his youngest a cup of warm chicken broth and noticed the verdanette move away from it with disgust. "Don't worry, I did not use the powder this time, Izuku. I just thickened the broth a bit with some flour, it does not have that jelly texture, it is more like gravy."

Izuku looked at the cup and he could see now that the texture was different and he sighed in slight relief. He took the cup and immediately felt the warmth seep through his fingers and hands and took a tentative sip. His eyes widened at the change and it had tasted so delicious that he thought it was just gravy itself. "This is delicious, Poppa. You only added flour?"

Masaru then chuckled. "Well, there is some curry roux in there as well as a few chili peppers. I heard spice can help with the phlegm buildup."

"I am sure you are going to give the recipe to Kacchan too for the future huh?" Izuku smiled, taking a few more sips.

"Well, how do you think Katsuki is a good cook? He learned it from me." Masaru laughed then gave a wink. "I am sure you already know how Momma's cooking is."

"Pfft, yeah. How many times does she have to read the box just to fail a macaroni dish a sixth time."

They both laughed for several moments before Izuku became quiet once again. "Poppa…do you think it is even worth it for me to continue the Hero Course?"

"Why do you ask that, Izuku?"

Izuku was quiet for a few moments before he continued. "My first day at school, I happened to get injured and sick at the same time. I nearly scared Kacchan to death and I was uncomfortable with…some teachers. Even with Honey, Eevee, and Kacchan, my anxiety was running high, like I felt I was trapped. How can I be a Hero when I don't have the energy or mentality to save myself…"

Masaru, without skipping a beat, picked up one of Izuku's Quirk manuals. "Because you are

brilliant. Remember when you set up techniques and costumes for Katsuki? They helped a lot in reducing fractures from his Quirk. And with the ones you created yourself, you became prepared for the future to prevent the same issues from happening." He then tapped Izuku on the forehead with the book. "You tried to start fixing your uniform when you got home but we had to make you stop or else you would not recover fully. Even if you felt trapped, you found ways to try to avoid it or face it head-on."

"Now, I know that feeling trapped may not go away immediately after what you had been through, Izuku, but you have people who care about you willing to help you anyway they can." Masaru said and put a hand up as he knew the verdanette was about to say something. "You are not a burden, remember that, your former mother may have made you think that you were a 'waste of space' or a 'burden', you will never be that in our Bakugou family. We have the strength to ensure you are taken care of, but you have the brains to help us to help you. Your intelligence alone is what will make you the best possible hero out there, and I'm sure Mitsuki and Katsuki would agree."

Izuku nodded, feeling better after that encouragement Poppa had given him before yawning wide followed by a cough when his lungs became restricted. It took a few moments, but once he got some control back, his body was telling him to sleep, that the conversation was too much stimuli for the body.

"Get some rest, Izuku. Tonight I will bring more broth and some toast." Masaru said with a smile, seeing his youngest laid down and falling asleep within minutes.

Meanwhile, Katsuki arrived at the cafeteria and looked for the group Eevee, Eijirou, and some others were hanging and he was already on his wit's end when that chubby Kirby tried to hit on him once again. He was trying hard not to blast her, but in the end, Honey came to the rescue with a rabbit kick to her face.

"You should have stayed with Izuku, leadfoot. I am guessing that since you aren't glowing he is doing okay?"

Honey was on top of his head now, kneading him as a sign that Izuku is safe. His head was surprisingly soft despite the spiky look and the cinnamon bunny was highly tempted to use some of it in her nest.

"PomPom! Over here!"

The duo then looked towards the voice and found the group at a table close to the window. Eevee and Eijirou were there, as well as Aurora, Denki, the one he raced against in the exam Natsu, and an unfamiliar female with long black hair but had the same sharp tooth smile and wide eyes like Shitty Hair. He guessed this was Kairi, Eijirou's twin.

"Hey," He replied, sitting between Eevee and Eijirou. Honey jumped off and sat on the table and just looked at them all.

"Awww, how cute. Is this Honey you were talking about Eiji? She seems like a no-nonsense yet kind bunny." Kairi said and lifted a piece of lettuce. "Would it be okay if I can give her my lettuce, I am not a fan of them."

"You can if you want, but she will have to decide to take it from you. If she kicks her back feet, then back off. That is a rabbit's version of fuck off."

"Oooh, feisty too. I like her already."

Katsuki suddenly laughed and tried to hold it in. This Kairi has no fear whatsoever, and he was starting to like her. "Yeah, she fits well into the Bakugou family."

"So, Bakubro…how long do you think Izuku would be out for? Will it really be for a week?" Eijirou asked, and immediately the blonde's demeanor changed.

"Right now, we have it set for a week, but it could be longer." He started, and everyone looked at him in confusion.

"What do you mean Blasty? Is Izuku ok?" Aurora asked, her stomach doing somersaults as the feeling of protection was growing. Her tail was twitching hard and her brother Natsu noticed.

"...His Quirk is not active right now. It seems when the water hit him, it put his body into thermal shock and it is protecting his core."

"W-what?" Denki said, sounding surprised at this information. Was it his fault? "H-how…was it from-did I cause it?"

Katsuki looked at the electric blonde and he could tell he was starting to panic. He was starting to blame himself, and for some reason, he felt like he had been through similar trauma to what he had said about his quirk activating from a condition. He isn't going to press though, if he acts like Izuku when pressured it will not go well. "No, you didn't cause it. It was an accident, Denki, you didn't know that Might Sensei would press that button. Izuku was a distance away from you, and you both were cautious of each other. I know you may feel guilty, but you did not cause this."

"PomPom is right, Pichu. Things happened that were out of your control, remember what Eevee said last time, don't let people blame you or don't blame yourself for something you can't control."

Denki tilted his head slightly as he suddenly remembered the nickname. "I haven't heard that since I left with my aunt, but thank you Eevee. Still, I hurt him."

Kairi gently patted Denki's back as Eevee's tail was touching his lower back. It was currently vibrating as the storm outside was starting to increase so it was tickling the electric user's back, and he was starting to chuckle from it.

Natsu was looking at Katsuki with an observant look, and the blonde knew what he was doing. The red-scaled teen knew there was something more to this than a water burst and electrical shock. "You seem more guarded, man. It's like you are trying to protect something."

Katsuki jolted hard and stared at the Flame Dragon teen in shock. How the hell is he this observant yet he didn't know what flogging was? "What are you talking about, Fire Breath?" He growled, and it only raised several more flags on both the Dragneel.

"Bakugou, is there something that involves Izuku? Is he…comfortable or…safe here?" Aurora asked and she saw Katsuki's eye twitch. "We aren't here to hurt you or Izuku. My brother and I come from a protective family, we protect each other and those we see as family." She said and raised her good arm and pointed to everyone here. "You people here I see as a part of my clan, and that includes the Green Bean." Aurora continued, and Katsuki was growling like he was warring with himself. She sighed and decided to be blunt. "My gut tells me Izuku needs to be close, like someone or something is eyeing him. My draconian instinct, even though I am Quirkless, says to guard him. I just don't know if it is because of a threat."

Katsuki looked at both Dragneel trying to detect any bullshit, but he had found none. He already knows how protective Natsu is over his sister, and he was looking at her like waiting for a command to protect the clan. Animal instincts are dead scary, and he could see that in Eevee too. When he looked at Eevee and Honey, the two he knew with more 6th sense than anyone he knew they showed no sign of them lying. He has to follow his guts now.

"Fucking Hell…I can give you a slight rundown." Katsuki replied, and looked around. "I don't want any of this information out or I will kill each and every one of you, got it?"

Everyone nodded as they saw or felt an Oni with them.

"Good," He growled before continuing. "I am sure those in the class noticed Izuku's surname right?"

"Midoriya-Bakugou?" Eijirou asked and Katsuki nodded.

"That should be a dead giveaway that he is adopted. His shitty mother abused him from the age of four, the moment a Quirk Specialist wrongly diagnosed him as Quirkless."

"Bro…" Eijirou said, stunned at the information and Denki paled, looking slightly sick. The girls noticed this and leaned closer to the electric blonde, hugging him and patting his head and he leaned into their touch.

"Yeah, fucked up I know, but that was only the tip of the iceberg. My parents and I didn't find out about her abusing him until a year and a half ago, the same day a villain attacked us. She always acted nice and innocent around us, and should have known it was too good to be true."

"So, since the age of four Izuku has been abused and you only found out almost 2 years ago?" Aurora asked, and internally did the math, paling as each addition increased. "T-that would mean…"

"Ten years." Katsuki confirmed her suspicions, and everyone was starting to look like ghosts. Natsu was growling in draconic rage. "She abused him for ten fucking years, and that is not including the school years."

"Because he was diagnosed as Quirkless, the schools refused to acknowledge them as human beings," Denki said suddenly, causing Katsuki to look at him in surprise. "They bullied him at the schools didn't they?"

"Yeah…and I was one of them."

Everyone looked at him like he had an alien pop out of his ass. "Bro, you hurt him? How are you two brothers then?"

Katsuki was silent for several minutes as he tried to calm himself enough for this. Honey was giving him a warning that his stress level was yellow and he could feel a panic attack forming. He then felt Eevee's hand touch his forearm, giving him grounding and assuring him that he can do this.

"sigh…We almost weren't able to adopt him because of this. The reason why I was part of the aggressors was to protect Izuku from those who tormented him, at least for a while. One kid had a Quirk that was forcing him to puke his guts out and he had it active for fifteen minutes, and I could see blood starting to come out of his mouth from the shredding. I had to act like I was using him to test my Quirks strength to knock him out. Five minutes after everyone left, I immediately took him home to get the Hag to treat him as she was a nurse. She gave me 3 months of punishment after that but there is so much we can do with school rules and hierarchy laws."

"Eevee knows the laws and the hierarchy mentality here. Eevee comes from a family where mom is a social worker and dad is a lawyer. Quirkism, racism, hatred, it is still in this world. Eevee even was a victim of Quirkism, calling Eevee freak, throwing rocks and stones, we are trying to make it a better place, but we can only do so much." She looked at Katsuki who smiled slightly in return. "Izuku was with me while the adoption was being completed, he had been through so much yet he still had hope. Bunbun seems happier now, but fears of the past still remain."

"I can understand that, all too well." Denki replied, and wiped his tears away. "I have been through hell when I was living with my father until the age of six, so for Usagi to be here now after all that, I am sure demons won't go away that easily."

Katsuki nodded and looked outside the window. Rain was pelting down hard, and it was not relenting, reflecting his emotions perfectly. It looks like Eevee was right that it will last all night. "Izuku still has some fears, and right now he is not comfortable around All Might. He has not given me all the details, but what he told me was when he was still Quirkless, All Might told him to abandon his dreams to be a Hero and that he would be nothing but a liability. I have a feeling there is more to this but that is what he had told me."

"Dude, All Might said that to Izuku? I thought he was cool, but that ain't manly one bit."

"I had a feeling he was a Quirkist, when he told me and Aoyama to not be a part of the training yesterday I could immediately sense it." Aurora growled and slammed a fist to the table. "I am guessing that is who we are keeping Green Bean away from, Ass Might?"

Katsuki and the others nodded. They will not let Ass Might near Izuku, and once he gets back to school he will be a part of their circle. Luckily, he was currently on probation from what they had heard, and he will not be back until next week.

-Tokyo, Japan-

New at TJN…

Is All Might's job as a teacher at UA already on the line?

All Might, who was previously in the United States for business and received a job as a teacher at the iconic Hero School UA, is already on probation on his first day of teaching after a student in the First-Year Hero Course received serious injury under his watch.

The story came in by an anonymous witness, stating that All Might stumbled and I quote, "Accidentally" pressed the emergency water dump on four students, one of which has a flame-based Quirk and forcing him to go into thermal shock. Here is an audio recording we were able to obtain…please be advised as profanity is involved and students' names have been redacted.

"YOU f*beep* SON OF A *beep*, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR!?"

"Young *beep* It was an accident. I didn't mean to cause any harm, I stumbled and my hand just happened to hit that button."

"Don't make me laugh! You had no symptoms of dizziness or loss of balance for the last hour and you did it so suddenly that it is no coincidence dumb*beep*. I CALL *beep*, YOU *beep beep beeeeeeeeep*"

The student who happened to be yelling at All Might we discovered is the brother of the injured student, and we tried to get answers from him when he arrived at the school but…well…he had made it VERY clear that he was not interested in the conversation.

We also tried to get information from the Principal of UA. Here is what he has to say.

"I must say I am surprised you got word about this incident and I know for a fact that they weren't from a party involved. I will have to run an investigation on this, and I will say this. Anyone feeding information to the media illegally and without permission from the students, teachers, or parents involved will suffer severe punishment. That will be all."

We will return at 6 with more information if we can gather them. Nezu of UA is very cunning in keeping records safe and it will be a miracle to even get a snippet. As for All Might, he is currently on week probation without pay, who knows if he still has a job after-

A crash was heard and the TV that was playing the news was destroyed by a trophy penetrating it like a rocket. The person who threw it was All Might, panting and no longer having that usual smile.

"It must be that brat, Izuku Midoriya." He growled and picked up a dumbbell. "He knows too much about me already, and I will need to bring him down. I can't have him revealing our…relationship and secrets."

All Might then tossed the dumbbell out the window with a crash, and hit a car halfway across the city. "Looks like I need to remind him that even if she is gone I still own him. Once a fuck bunny, always a fuck bunny."
