Izuku was very excited!
They were on a bus and going on a trip to learn about rescuing!
Learning was extra fun when he didn't have to sit still!
He was practically vibrating with excitement as they sat on the bus. He hopped into Koda's lap and made sure to tell him how excited he was.
Koda smiled and gently pet him. Koda didn't talk much, but it was nice that he was a good listener. Koda had definitely started to be one of his favorite humans.
The frog girl croaked and looked at him "Midoriya, I usually say what's on my mind, and your quirk doesn't really make sense -ribbit-"
The rock boy nodded, "Yeah, your strength is really manly, but I don't get how that makes you smart."
He pulled out his little keyboard and typed out his answer as he chirped and honked happily.
"I'm super dense! So I have the muscles and smarts of a lot of bunnies smushed into one super bunny!"
The boy who smelled like static laughed, "Damn, I wish my quirk made me smarter, mine just makes me stupid sometimes."
They all started talking about quirks and being 'flashy', so he decided it was a good time to take a quick nap until they got there.
He was woken up to Kachan shouting and swearing that it was time to go, which was pretty normal.
He hopped off the bus and sat inside their big dome while the hero Thirteen talked about some stuff.
He may have gotten a little distracted while they talked about safety and started grooming himself during the speech. He wanted to be super clean and ready for rescue training!
Izuku froze when he felt the air shift. His ears shot straight up and his whiskers twitched as he focused on the fountain where a weird purple thing was forming.
Then people started to come out of the purple thing. That was definitely bad.
Aizawa got ready to fight the intruders and told them to run.
Izuku liked that plan, there was still a path to the exit and no places to hide, so it was the best plan.
Oh no!
The purple smoke person showed up at the door!
Maybe fighting first, then running. Kachan seemed to have the same idea, making explosions at the misty man with his friend Kirishima.
But then they disappeared!
The mist man had been saying words for a bit but Izuku hadn't been listening at all, instead trying to find a way past him.
Then the mist spread out and he started falling!
As he fell, it looked like he was in the same building, so he'd need to find his friends and run away.
Then he hit the water.
He stopped thinking.
Bunnies survived by being fast and being good at hiding. Water made you slow and easy to see.
Water was the worst place for a rabbit to be, and that fact was drilled deep into his instincts as panic overtook every thought in his mind.
It didn't matter if he was the smartest bunny in the world, a panicked rabbit is still a panicked rabbit.
He was too scared to think, but he wasn't too scared to fight.
He kicked, clawed, and bit anything and everything that moved as he tried to get to shore. A big tongue tried to grab him a few times, but he wriggled out each time, not letting himself be caught.
One villain came at him from below, but that meant he had the chance to jump off of him and get a lot closer to ground.
Ground was much better than water.
By the time he got there he was covered in blood and only some was his.
He tensed and got ready to fight when someone landed near him. But it was Tsuyu, not a villain, so he didn't need to fight her.
She was saying words, but he wasn't paying enough attention to translate human right now.
He was focused on the fight in front of him.
Aizawa was bleeding on the ground. Despite what All Might said about him being fine even though he was bleeding, Izuku knew bleeding meant dying, and he didn't want Aizawa to die.
Aizawa was nice and that meant he needed to stop the big thing that was hurting him.
And with that he was flying through the air and kicked the big thing, but it didn't move.
So he kicked it again.
Nothing happened, again.
This time he tried scratching, because his claws were very sharp and strong. Clawing worked, but he healed after!
The big thing tried to catch him but he was too fast.
The big thing was very fast, maybe even faster than him, but he was very good at not getting caught.
He shot right between his legs and jumped up, sinking his claws into its back, hanging on where the big thing couldn't reach.
Then the big thing's arm came through purple mist and grabbed him.
No. No. No. Bad. Bad. Bad.
DON'T GET CAUGHT.
Then he was thrown really hard into the wall and it turned into sleepy time really fast.
Bakugou didn't know why everyone was getting so excited about rescue training. He thought that fighting was the best part of being a hero. Apparently everyone else likes this stupid bullshit too though.
He mostly zoned out the bus, not particularly caring about what people were talking about. Then Frog Face and Pikachu had the balls to insult him to his face. He eventually let it go, but he was still pissed.
Deku, being the idiot he is, almost forgot to get off the bus. So he had to wake the fucker up since Koda was too much of a coward to do it, even though the idiot was sleeping on him.
Then they went inside and All Might didn't even show up, which blows. All Might was the most badass hero ever, and instead they got stuck with their hobo homeroom teacher and this marshmallow looking bitch who is lecturing them on safety.
Deku clearly agreed it was a snoozefest of a speech since he was actively licking his asshole. No one wanted to call him on it and Deku had no idea everyone kept glancing at him while he 'cleaned himself'. It was absolutely hilarious. He couldn't think of a better way to insult someone than to lick your own ass during their lecture, though he didn't plan on using that method.
Then all of a sudden some bullshit went down where a warp gate opened up and villains started to pour out. If that shit wasn't bad enough, as soon as he tried to punch that misty bastard he ended up in some rundown building filled with villains.
So, at least he enjoyed the destination.
After beating the shit out of some villains and impressing the cute boy with red hair he heard a horrifying sound.
He'd heard it once before and knew it only meant something horrible was happening. It was the screeching of a rabbit in distress.
"Fuck, shit, we need to go now Shitty Hair." He'd already started moving, not waiting for the idiot to realize he needed to follow.
"What the hell was that sound, man?"
"That was Deku losing his shit. We need to get over there before he kills someone."
"He wouldn't do that, would he?"
"The last time I heard him make that sound was the day I met him. A pack of dogs found their burrow and killed everyone in their colony except him and his mom. And I found the dogs ripped to pieces by Deku. So you tell me what he can do when he's scared enough."
They got to the central area to see Deku leaving the shipwreck area soaked in blood.
After nearly attacking Frog Face, the crazy fucker goes flying at the monster that had Aizawa pinned to the ground.
The fucker with hands on him yelled for the monster, apparently called Nomu, to kill Deku.
Shitty Hair started freaking out "Midoriya's gonna get killed taking that thing on."
"No he won't, he probably won't win, but have you ever tried catching a wild rabbit with your bare hands? Let alone one with super speed. I'm going after portal bitch so they can't get away, you and Frog Face get Aizawa out of here."
The idiot seemed to understand there was no time to argue and took off to their injured teacher. Katsuki himself charged straight at the misty fucker and got him pinned by his neckbrace. Which worked great until Creepy Hands McFuckface charged him and tried to hit him.
As he watched one of his gauntlets turn to dust he realized that he had been distracted by the threat of being disintigrated while Misty Fuck escaped.
Two things happened at the same time. That Nomu fucker reached through a portal to grab Deku, who'd been latched onto his back. He threw Deku across the entire USJ and Katsuki couldn't do anything but watch as the rabbit crashed into the staircase like a cannonball. The second thing was All Might finally showing up. Showing up a second too late.
For once in his life, he completely ignored All Might. He ran across the USJ to make sure that useless Deku didn't get himself killed.
His breath caught when he saw the unmoving bloodied form. But to his relief he could still feel the naturally rapid heart rate within the small body.
Sure, Deku was an annoying little shit, but he was basically part of the family, and Bakugous don't leave family behind.
He held the deceptively heavy rabbit in his arms while he moved as quickly as he could without making his condition worse.
The raging battle behind him seemed to end with All Might declaring victory, but the villains didn't buy his bluff. But Katsuki was the only one who knew it was a lie, that he had a limit, but right now he had to choose between saving his rabbit or his idol. So he steeled himself and kept moving to the exit and away from the fighting. He would not lose his friend today and would have to trust All Might to handle himself.
Luckily, it didn't matter because Snipe shot that fucker before he got a chance to do shit.
The heroes made quick work of the remaining villains and Recovery Girl alongside Nezu came up to him with panic in their eyes at the sight of Deku.
"Lady, unless you suddenly became a master of rabbit biology, get the fuck out of my way and tell me that their's a vet somewhere among those paramedics."
Nezu nodded, and pointed at one of the emergency responders waiting outside, specifically one who looked different than everyone else. "We made sure to have a veterinarian on call for situations like this."
He ran over and laid the rabbit down on the gurney and looked at the vet, "You better fucking save him or I'll explode your face."
She seemed impressively unfazed and left in the ambulance with Deku.
It was official, rescue training fucking sucked.
It had been a few days since the USJ incident when Uraraka finally got news on Izuku. Apparently he was now resting at home and could have visitors. It had taken a lot of asking around, but she found out Kirishima had Bakugou's number and with a lot of pestering they finally got their address.
They weren't really sure what a good 'get well' present was for a rabbit, so they just went with the standard card and flowers and hoped for the best.
It was her, Iida, and Kirishima who went over to the Bakugou household. Kirishima knocked on the door (since he was the most Bakugou proof of the four of them), and was immediately met by a woman who seemed like a taller female version of Katsuki.
"Oh, you must be Izuku's and Katsuki's friends. Give me one second, I'll go get my idiot son." She turned around for a moment, "Oi brat! Your friends are here!"
Only to be answered by, "Shut up you old hag! They're here for Deku not me, so it's not my problem."
"Well, what are all of you standing there for, come in."
They walked in and introduced themselves, then Uraraka asked, "Your son made it sound like Deku lived in your yard rather than your house, is that where we'd find him?"
"Eh, usually, but since he's still healing he's been staying inside. Oh, and his mom has been inside too to take care of him."
Iida nodded, "That is for the best, is his mother intelligent like he is?"
"Not in the same way he is. But she's definitely more mischievous and clever I suppose."
"Mischievous?"
Mitsuki just laughed, "Like stealing your flowers as a snack."
She looked down at the bouquet they had brought and realized a good portion of them were gone, with a daisy floating across the room into the waiting paws of a plump green haired rabbit hiding under the couch.
"She is the reason we can't have any food that is left within line of sight, she will steal all of your snacks without remorse or concern for her weight. Do you have any idea how hard it is to put that lady on a diet?"
Kirishima cocked his head to the side, "How does telekinesis turn into density? The two seem like they have totally different quirks?"
She smiled, "I'm no scientist, but as I understand it, Inko can attract things and Izuku's quirk is basically an internalized version of that. He's attracting himself to himself making him heavy as shit."
They were about to respond when they heard a subdued but happy honking sound as Izuku came out of the side room and into the living room with them. Their rabbit classmate was immediately met with his mother hopping over and showering him in affection.
The three of them felt much better now that they had actually seen that he was okay. All of them felt guilt over his injuries in their own ways and for their own reasons, so it was a relief to have him in front of them and in good spirits.
Even if things had been hard, they were looking up and she had faith in herself and her friends.
