"Will you tell me your quirks now?" Midoriya asked when they were at the coffee shop, all drinking hot chocolate. The twins agreed and Ace said, "I can manipulate, become and create white fire." Midoriya looked shocked. Ace looked ashamed and away. They didn't want him to be upset about their quirks.

Luffy answered, "I can manipulate air. I can solidify it and use it as solid weapons or stepping stones. Allows me to run in the air or climb invisible stairs. We didn't get this good at them on our own. We had a trainer who helped us non stop. The same one who taught us the martial arts."

Their friend was shocked and looked sad. "You guys are always so happy, no wonder. You have strong quirks." Ace and Luffy shared a glance and both nodded. It was time to explain to their best friend. Let him know that their life had been far, far from perfect.

Luffy gave it to Ace to explain, since he was better with words. "Midoriya, our parents abandoned us because we had these quirks. They were upset that they were stronger than theirs, so they dumped us on the street at seven. We were homeless street rats for five years. Heroes never showed up where we lived. Our powers made us constantly hide from villains who wanted to use us.

"A hero finally came and adopted us. That's our guardian," Ace finished. Midoriya looked shocked and then guilty. He looked like he hated himself.

His hands shook as he confessed, "All this time, I've been jealous. That you were strong and smart and happy and made friends easily. So happy. And now I know that I've been the one lucky and privileged. How are you so happy?" he asked, eyes wide, not understanding.

Luffy smiled and he was the one to answer, "Because we were saved. It was a little over a year ago. We've been cared for and fed and been sheltered. How could we not be happy? Our lives were hell, and now they're not. We could never not be happy when we have beds to come home to. Food, so we're not starving anymore."

Ace admitted, "I was kind of jealous of you sometimes. When we went to your house and saw all the pictures of you and your mom. You've been loved since you were born. We've been loved for a year. I know that it's the norm for most people. But still, you were blessed with a family that cares about you. That's better than any superpower, to me." Luffy nodded in agreement.

Midoroya started crying into his hands. "I'm sorry. I misjudged, and now I won't be able to go to the same school as you. I wish I had a quirk earlier, I could have learned it. It wouldn't destroy my body," he sobbed.

Luffy rubbed his back and leaned his head on his crying friend's. "At least you finally have a quirk. You can be strong with training, right? You have so much potential now. Maybe you could find a hero to tutor you as well," the younger twin said encouragingly. Midoriya nodded.

"Is it horrible I'm happy your life hasn't been perfect?" he asked quietly.

"Nah. It doesn't bother me. We wouldn't be who we are today if we hadn't gone through that. It's a part of us, and being saved from that changed our world. Now everything is bright. We have a future. We don't need to fight other children for food. We have one another and a loving home. And a great friend that is irreplaceable," Ace said sincerely.

Midoriya hugged Ace tightly, with Luffy rubbing his back. "Thank you. You guys are my saviors. You came and talked to me. Even though you have powerful quirks, you talk to me. And I finally had friends. I wasn't teased anymore, bullied. Thank you! I can never repay you."

"Silly, you don't have to. We didn't choose you out of pity. We could tell you're a good person! And you are. Don't let anyone ever tell you different," Luffy said very firmly, though still with a soft smile.

The green haired pulled away from Ace, had a watery smile on. "We'll be friends, no matter what school we go to." Ace and Luffy nodded, grinning. Then they shared a look, and they knew their tells so well it was as if they could read each other's mind.

Luffy said, "We have one more secret. It's harder to explain, but we trust you not to tell anybody." Midoriya promised he'd keep it a secret, no matter what it is. "We have another power. It's not a quirk, but both of us have almost a sixth sense. We can sense people around. Like, we know where people are when we can't see or hear them. That's why we were able to sidestep Bakugo when he attacked quickly that first day. Ace knew where he was and what he was going to do."

Midoriya was in shock. After all, that had never been recorded before. "You guys are so cool."

Ace grinned and Luffy nodded his head proudly. "And two cool people choose you to be our best friend. That means you're cool, too. You just don't seem to know it yet." Midoriya smiled. He said their kindness had to also be some sort of quirk. Ace laughed and said maybe it was. After an hour of talking and the mood generally lifting, Midoriya's mom offered to drive them home but the twins declined. Their guardian would pick them up.

They called Gunhead and he picked them up, asking how it went excitedly. They explained the robots and how the exam was graded and the point system. "How many did you get?" he asked with an instsient voice.

"60."

"63. And we both got the big bot just for fun, the first time we've ever really gone full force with them. I'm sure we'll be accepted. I hope that Midoriya does as well. He's always wanted to go to U.A. because All Might came from there. I'll be so sad for him and us." Gunhead sighed, feeling for them.

"But I am proud of your strength. I know this time will be different since everyone will know your quirk now. I know having Midoriya would help you out to make friends that you know are true friends," the man said as they pulled up. The other two were quiet but agreed. They didn't have any work to do and went to their room to put on a movie on the TV in there, on the wall since there was no room for anything else in there. The small space was cozy, so they didn't mind.

They waited in nervousness for the next week, and Bakugo seemed pretty haughty. So, he'd scored well. They didn't know how well, but if they matched or had more than that, he'd be so angry. They were sitting with their friends at lunch, all three quiet while the others talked. Ace and Luffy pretended to pay attention, but all three were nervous about the results. They'd be coming that weekend and it was Friday. They'd know soon.

Bakugo came over. "Yo, you all look pretty nervous. How many bots did you get? I got 47," he bragged.

"60."

"63. And we both got the big bot for fun," Luffy said simply. His jaw dropped and he grew more angry than before. "If you don't believe us, you'll learn soon enough. We're really not in the mood, Bakugo," he said dismissively.

He huffed and was going to kick everything off of the table before Ace easily grabbed his foot and threw him off, stumbling backwards. "I already told you. We don't need our quirks to beat you."

"You'll find out just how strong I am if you end up passing. And I mean them, not you Deku. There's no way you passed, damn dirt," he said and stomped off. Midoriya was never angry when they didn't respond to Bakugo when he was mean to him. He knew it was against how they wanted to be and that it was what Bakugo wanted. To have a confrontation. So if all three ignored his words, that was the best solution.

"Do you want to facetime when we get our letters?" Ace offered when they were walking to the parking lot to head home. They'd need to take the train to get to U.A. It wasn't that big of a deal. Or maybe Midoriya's mom could pick them up. Either way it wasn't that big of a deal in the long run.

Midoriya nodded. "If I get accepted. If I don't, I'll call a bit later. I'll probably be a mess if I don't pass." Ace and Luffy nodded, telling them they'd hear him tomorrow. On the way home, both brothers were quiet. Both wishing Midoriya would get in some fluke. Without them, he may slip into the way he used to be. Teased and ridiculed for not having a quirk he can control.

His manifested ten years late, but it was there nonetheless. He should be happy and focus on the future, and how he can control it. He told them it was raw strength, but had damaged his body. Hopefully that wouldn't continue to happen. That's what was good about manifesting it at four. You learn how to control it as you grow up.

The next day, Gunhead ran into the house area and gave both boys their letters. There was something hard in the envelopes and they ran to their room to open it, jumping on the bed and tearing the projector out of the paper.

"Mine first?" Ace asked, voice shaking. Luffy nodded, his fingers digging into the blankets. Gunhead was in the doorway, needing to know as well. Ace let the projector turn on, and All Might was there. He talked a bit before they really started paying attention. They weren't Midoriya. They had a favorite hero, Gunhead. All Might was a legend, but wasn't their favorite pro-hero. But it would be good to learn from him. Maybe he had different advice that Gunhead did.

When the score came up, it showed Bakugo had gotten third place. Luffy was top and Ace was second. Oh, he was going to be a nightmare. Hopefully not in the same class, as their scores were high enough to be accepted even if they hadn't gotten 100% on the tests.

"I'm so proud of you!" Gunhead cried. Ace and Luffy laughed, and then hesitantly looked back at the screen. Midoriya got zero points for any bots, but got 60 points for the rescue of the girl that broke his body. He passed! Just barely, he passed!

"Fuck yes!" Ace said loudly.

"We're all going together!" Luffy cried. "We gotta call him! Right now!" Ace hurried to open his phone and call Midoriya. The phone rang for a while before their best friend picked up, in tears. "I told you! They tricked us and you saved her and that got you to pass! We're all going together!"

There was loud sobbing on the other end, he was so happy. "I hope we're all in the same class and without Bakugo. He's gonna be a nightmare, placing behind us," Ace said, though he was still smiling. "Hey, in the letter it says we have to decide our hero costumes! Have you thought of one?"

Midoriya gave affirmation while the twins had ideas in their heads, but not fully. After talking and laughing and crying for a bit, they got off to celebrate with their family. They had a huge feast that night, and Gunhead cried a lot. It was funny to them. After dinner, they hurried to their rooms to design costumes.

When Monday came, the three of them gushed to their other friends that all three had made it. And hearing that Ace and Luffy got the first top spots, with Bakugo in third place, made them all ready for the big blow up.

And it did come, when the three were outside and heading to the comic book store and then the martial arts store. Ace and Luffy had spending money as congratulations. They could buy whatever they wanted as a gift. Bakugo made a loud explosion noise behind them. Ace and Luffy already sensed him coming. They turned around, as did Midoriya.

"How did you do it," Bakugo demanded coldly. "You were supposed to have weak and lame quirks. Why have you been hiding it?!"

Ace pointed out, "We never told you they were weak or lame. We hid it because we didn't need them to make friends. That was our goal, to make friends. Not be the best. We're not obsessed with victory over other people. That's you, not us." He wasn't being kind, Bakugo had never even been civil with them. He still seemed pissed at Luffy for offering to be friends for some reason.

Others had vacated the area. "I will beat you. You just got lucky then. When we actually fight with our quirks, you'll be decimated," Bakugo swore.

Ace frowned. "We've already shown you we don't need quirks to deal with you." They turned away, and began to talk about what they were going to buy. They left Bakugo behind, and Midoriya smiled. He said they were cool.

"All of us are cool. We're going to U.A.!" Luffy cheered, putting both arms in the air. Ace was grinning and Midoriya was laughing. He was in the best mood he'd been in for awhile. The stress of applying and then waiting for the exam and then the results had been stressful on all of them. But Ace and Luffy were like each other's stress balls. When they wanted to fight out to feel better, the other let them go hard. Despite how much Gunhead hated that.

Their friend bought another All Might figurine. "You really like him, huh?"

Midoriya looked down at the key chain and nodded. "He gave me inspiration. I've always wanted to be like him. It was hard, when I didn't have a quirk. I wasn't going to be able to be a hero, like All Might." Then he looked up, eyes bright. "Who is your inspiration?"

Ace and Luffy pointed to each other wordlessly. Their friend shook his head, asking why he expected anything different. When they went to the martial arts store, they easily found what they wanted. Yin and yang pendants that they put on their wrist bands that they wore everyday. The ones with their name and Gunheads.

"What are you gonna do with those?" Midoriya asked curiously.

"Paint them. Mine will be white and Luffy's will be blue. Then we'll sew them into our wristbands," Ace replied. They had them in the baggy and then went to get some ice cream.

-x-

"There, perfect," Ace said as he looked at Luffy's new addition to the cloth wristband. It was right where his name met Gunhead's name. Family was everything to Ace and Luffy, and Gunhead. He then sewed his own. He had the blue one and Luffy had the red. They couldn't complete since they were sewn, but they knew what they were for and represented.

Summer had begun and it went by too fast. Ace and Luffy spent it training Midoriya in martial arts while he figured out what to do with his self-destructive quirk. And he was invigorated with confidence, so he was easier to teach. He got fitter and quicker at thinking and planning on what move to do next. He didn't have the raw strength that wasn't detrimental that the twins had.

For the summer, Ace and Luffy were covered in bruises. But they trained harder to be stronger and be able to keep up physically when they got to the hero school. Gunhead hadn't gone there, so the two didn't really know what to expect. All they knew was that the campus was awesome and the students there were strong.

They also worked with their quirks, now out in the open since everyone would know anyways. They found a deserted field they practiced in. They perfected duo moves and combined attacks. To be honest, Luffy's quirk was stronger and more versatile than Ace's. He was able to create things out of air and walk on them. He could also make weapons and small shields. He was trying to learn to cover himself in body armor made of air. It wasn't going anywhere. It wouldn't hurt anyone else, but, in theory, it would protect his body from others' attacks.

Ace slammed into his shield and Luffy was fine. "That power is too strong, it's not fair," Ace complained, shirtless and laying on the grass. Both of them were exhausted from fighting for two hours. They put their hands up above their heads and they looked at the sky.

"We're gonna always be together, right?"

Ace sat up and looked concerned. "Yeah, of course. Why do you ask?" Ace bit his lip.

"I still want to be a pair of heroes, but what if one of us changes our mind? I don't want to ever part with you. Is it wrong to depend on each other like this? I mean, we have other friends and Midoriya. But still, I'm worried you'll leave me some day," Luffy confessed.

Ace laid back down and looked at the sky. "I still want to be a pair, too. If I didn't have you… if I was alone in our old life, I don't think I would have lasted. It would have killed me. I can never part with you after what we've gone through. How we were the only things keeping each other sane and not hopeless.

"You're my brother but you're also my best friend. I don't know if it's weird or wrong to be so close, but I don't care. Being with you makes me feel whole. We have Gunhead. But I don't think I'd be able to carry on if something happened to you," Ace said truthfully.

"The world would be against me again if something happened to you. Don't let anything happen to you, okay?" Ace promised he wouldn't. "I'm glad we're in the same class. And with Midoriya, but it would have been so scary if we were separated."

Ace nodded, and then said it sucked they had to deal with Bakugo. Luffy sighed and agreed. "I've lost hope that he will mature anytime soon. What hero tells everyone to die or he'll kill them?" Ace wondered.

Luffy shrugged, not understanding it either. Then he mused what kind of people they'd meet. After all, they had to be capable to get into U.A. in the first place. They placed the top two places, but they knew that some quirks were powerful and not able to be used to destroy monsters or be flashy. "I hope nobody likes us because we're strong."

Ace agreed, and then said he was glad they at least had Midoriya. "His quirk is crazy. How it broke his bones. It wouldn't be very practical in fighting." Luffy agreed, and said he hoped he'd learn fast. "You know what will be awesome? The sports festival! What if we were the top two contenders and had to fight each other?"

Luffy laughed. "That would be a very long fight. We'd know each other's every move, and not just with haki. It would be endless!" he exclaimed. "But I hope we do that. Then one of us would win, and that's good enough. But I'll win first place, like I did with the bots," he bragged.

Ace got up and ran after Luffy, who was bragging about 63 with Ace's 60. They rolled around punching and laughing. "I'll be the number one!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Keep dreaming. You're the younger one, you have to listen to me," Ace said.

"We're two minutes apart! You're barely older than me." Ace crossed his arms and said he was still the older brother and knew what was best. "Yeah, yeah. Keep telling yourself that." Ace scolded him for his rudeness. "You're my brother, I can tease you if I want. Deal with it." And they chased one another again before rolling down the hill and into the creek.

Luckily, their phones weren't on them. Ace dried himself off by raising his body temperature. "That's not fair, dry me off too!"

"Sorry, little bro, it doesn't work like that," Ace said, laughing at Luffy being soaking wet. Luffy swore. "Hah?! How could you say something so terrible to me?!" he shouted in mock hurt.

Luffy got on his knees, looking at the ground. "I'm so sorry beloved brother! I could never think of saying something like that ever again!" Then he looked up. "Bitch." Another chase, though Luffy got away into the air. Ace rocketed up. "Try and reach me now!" Luffy shouted from 60 feet in the air. "I am superior!" he shouted, arms up in the air.

"Fine, you win! I'm starving, let's go home and eat," Ace said. Luffy dropped down and landed on him, knocking the older twin to the ground. He got up and ran, still wet, as a raging Ace followed closely. They would always be best friends. The most trustworthy person they'd either ever have. It would always be them against the world, though they had a couple more little allies. But they would always come first.
