Galaxy Creator of Pisces: Thank you! And thanks for being my only real regular reviewer lol.

A very unintentional very short chapter! Enjoy~

On Monday, he was nervous, but confidently walked back into the classroom and sat down, shocking everyone before they all got up and ran to him. "I'm back. I crammed three months worth of work into two weeks, but I did it. I'm back," he said with a grin. Nobody had forgotten him, they were all happy to see him.

"I do feel bad that I haven't been here to get to know everyone more, and I couldn't help out with the USJ attack. It kind of makes me feel a bit like an outsider." The whole time, Todoroki had an uncharacteristic smile that Luffy returned with a wink, having kept this a secret just to see that happy and surprised face.

"We have time to get to know each other more!" Kirishima said loudly. Uraraka gave him a hug and Midoriya was really happy. Their reactions made him so happy and felt so welcomed. It was wonderful. He didn't even care when he no longer had a cheery teacher.

Aizawa said a brief welcome to Luffy, and had said that he was wrong, and that he would be able to take part in the sports festival. They all cheered, getting a bored reprimand from the teacher, telling them to be quiet.

Luffy easily fell into step, and it felt like he hadn't left. The teachers were all glad to have him back, and despite missing three months, he answered the questions on the books they were reading and the topics they were working on. Everyone could tell he had truly crammed and hadn't just claimed that or anything of the sort.

At lunch, they expressed disbelief that he'd been able to do it all in two weeks. Todoroki told them Luffy had crammed kindergarten to third grade when he was little. "A few months are nothing for him as a teenager compared to years as an eight year old."

"You're talking more," Luffy said happily. Todoroki looked away in concealed embarrassment. "I'm really happy to be back. And I'm happy I wasn't forgotten about or anything." The others nodded, saying he was kind of hard to forget, only if he'd been at the class for a week. He was asked about the glasses since he hadn't had them before.

He answered honestly. "These keep my quirk in check. It's the only reason I was able to leave the hospital safely. They discharged me since I got all depressed and unhealthy." He said he couldn't really explain how the glasses worked, but just to not try and take them off. "There were three assholes at Shiketsu, oh my god. They were 100 times worse than what I'd seen of Bakugo. They were rich and snobby and jealous. One of them took my glasses and wouldn't give them back, so I punched him and then flew off.

"At the end, the last thing I said to them was kind of immature," he laughed. "I told them they would never be able to defeat me since I was moving schools."

Kirishima said it wasn't that immature, if they had been assholes to him. "I'm happy you get to be in the sports festival. It'll be epic." Luffy said he wanted to have fun, even if he didn't get a high score.

He added, "I also feel like I'd be a jerk to get a high place even though I haven't been going here for the last three months." Midoriya said he was a UA student before and only switched because it was necessary. He hadn't left and just changed his mind to come back. "That's true. I'm just so happy I could come back. They were really understanding about it, too. And now that I know I can cram, if I ever have health problems again, it won't be so stressful. But hopefully that doesn't happen."

The others nodded, and asked what it was like to be in a quirk facility. "Better than a hospital. It was nice inside, trying to make it more comfortable and cozy. Still wasn't home, but it wasn't too bad. There were two wards. One for the very dangerous ones, and one for those that weren't so deadly. The extreme ward was often for people who gave off harmful substances. Like gasses. The doctors had to go in there with hazmat suits, so I doubt it was as nice there as in my ward. There were like, 12 people there including me."

"I always pictured them like mental facilities," Iida said. Luffy shook his head, and said that it could have been much worse. "Can I ask what about UA you wanted to come back to?" the taller student asked, voice cautious.

Luffy replied, "I'd always wanted to go to UA The campus is huge! So much room to fly. And even though Aizawa is grumpy and all, the class felt more… cozy, I guess? So I missed everyone even if I barely knew you. And I missed Todoroki a lot. We've been in the same class since third grade. I didn't want that to change now," he said honestly, his voice more quiet at the end.

"I missed you, too," he said, a rare show of emotion from him. Luffy smiled and nodded. "I bet Bakugo isn't happy you're back." Luffy laughed and said he'd move on from his anger at Bakugo targeting his wings a while ago.

"So, something crazy happened while I was gone. Apparently, I've had an older brother this whole time, and he just found me. He's 3 years older, and was in America and then moved here as soon as he turned 18 to find me."

Uraraka said it sounded like a book or movie premise. "Why didn't you know him?" Luffy said he'd gone missing as a child and didn't remember any of his family.

"Actually… I don't think anyone here will make fun of me for this. I want to gain everyone's trust and be closer, so I'll give you the synopsis. Some of it. I was five when my family threw me out of a moving car. After that, I lived by myself in the slums until Hawks came to the area, and saw me walking around with a bunch of nails in me. He forcibly took me to the hospital and then offered to take me home with him. That's how we met." Then he laughed and said, "He was very patient, the first thing I'd said to him was to fuck off."

The table was silent, looking horrified. "Don't worry, it's been 7 years since then. I'm fine. Still a bit insecure about some things, but I'm happy now, thanks to Hawks."

Iida said, "What a hero! I am in awe!" Uraraka was nodding and Kirishima called Hawks a real man.

"Is that all the scars you have? I saw some on your back and the dots everywhere." Luffy replied the scars they'd probably seen were from the road rash and nails. She asked why he was thrown out.

"That's more personal, so I don't want to talk about that part." Todoroki was sending him an unexpected look. Almost like he was proud of Luffy telling someone else his story. He wasn't upset at all that he was now not the only one who knew. Well, he was the only one who knew what his quirk really was. The one he shared so many memories with. His first friend ever.

Once lunch was over, they went to the hero basics training. Luffy didn't compare anything from Shiketsu to UA He wasn't going back. There was no point in thinking about it. All Might was happy to see him again. "Young Luffy! It is good to have you back, I am glad your health problems have been resolved." Luffy nodded, and said it was thanks to the doctors and his new glasses. The ones he had with his costume wrapped around the back on his head. The earphones went over and clipped on, but he didn't wear them at school and only when he was flying.

"Doctors are indeed important! Everyone now knows to not break young Luffy's glasses."

"Yes, sir!"

"Today we will work on stealth missions. Similar to our first exercise, but instead of fighting, you must go through the buildings. If you make a certain amount of noise, you'll be disqualified and lose!" This sounded fun. He was paired with Tsu. They were using the very large buildings, and were making their way to the top floor, only the stairs were blocked.

Bakugo was disqualified and dragged down Sero as well, who wasn't happy. Bakugo had swore pretty loudly when he stubbed his boot against the wall. Midoriya and Iida went well together and made it to the top floor. Next was Luffy and Tsu.

They made their way through the building slowly, and looked to the elevator to see it had fallen, meaning directly climbing up would work. He pointed to the elevator and she looked before nodding. She easily climbed up the side of the shaft and Luffy climbed up the cable wire silently. She helped him out silently and they creeped their way to the objective.

It was surrounded by rocks, but Tsu easily jumped past all of them, Luffy staying absolutely still. They passed! He gave a fist bump to Tsu. "It's good to have you back, Luffy," she said simply. Luffy said he was happy to be back as well.

It was one of the best days he'd had in weeks. When he flew back home he flopped onto the couch with a grin, looking up at the ceiling lights. He was so happy, and messaged Ace about it. He was happy to be texted by Luffy. Hawks was right, Luffy could have a brother even if they only just met each other and Luffy hadn't known Ace even existed.
