As the last time Deku finds himself trapped in his own body. Something was hurting this time, a wound on his torso, possibly after a great fight against a villain. Soon enough while sitting in bed watching the TV he receives the confirmation. "Dream me sure is a big hero. Wait... didn't Bakugo talked about him having a dream about me being a hero too? Could it be that something is messing up with our dreams?" Sleeping Deku starts thinking about the possibility of all their dreams being tied together in some way but all of a sudden his dream self got up. "That's it, burn as many informations into your head as possible." First he got out of bed... there were definitely two pillows, two night stands and all the clues pointing towards a stable relationship. While looking at the bedroom Deku sees a pair of mittens on the side of the bed but all he manages to think of are gloves and in his sleep, while Kalimni is listening to any information he might get his hands on, he manages to say: "Gloves in bedroom" "You're either very cold at night or a little too hot you kinky bastard" Kalimni says wondering what is Deku seeing in his sleep. Dream Deku then goes to the bathroom. It was filled with haircare, skincare, care-care products. "A room filled with girly products. It somehow feels like I shouldn't be looking at this. Four types of Shampoo, hair conditioner, skin products... Wait...tha...that box is... why is it out in the open like that! I was right, adult me is too adult for me to handle. This is so wrong, it feels like I'm stepping over boundaries I shouldn't be stepping over yet." While creepily watching over Deku sleep Kalimni hears footsteps coming towards Deku's room. He disappears through the window keeping close distance to see who is coming. "Another student talking in his sleep." Aizawa says. "Then it means that corn bastard must be nearby" Endeavor enters the room storming as usual. He was called in as support after the previous unusual night where all the students had unusual dreams each. Being on so high alert they simply could not take this even lightly therefore the teachers decided to bring Endeavor as back up in case Kalimni would appear again. "If someone were to attack the school, to put all the students in this deep sleep stance the attacker must be somewhere in a position where all the ground is covered at once." "The best place from where you can overlook the whole dormitory is on the top of the building. "And that's my que to leave". Kalimni thinks overhearing their discussion. He goes to the top of the building ready to pick Apnea up. "We're done here, they're onto us." "Wait, what if I put on of them to sleep, if what he sees in the future is troublesome enough to confuse them then the whole offensive structure they've built around you might be completely destroyed before being set up." "Then target the flaming one, I'll find a way to take out Aizawa while you keep them all asleep." Aizawa and Endeavor are climbing to the top of the roof. "You go in first. I'll see if anything is lurking around the last floor." "Right. If anything suspicious happens let me know immediately." Endeavor says before leaving Aizawa behind. If only he knew just around the corner from where Eraser Head was standing there was Kalimni holding an obsidian dagger right to his throat. One single move and Aizawa would be done. "Why are you here?" "I told you, I'm searching for heroes." "You're attacking your friends in the middle of the night when they are most vulnerable." "Does a hero deserve to sleep while there's chaos and evil about?" "Listen. Now that there's no one around. Tell me what you've discovered. What did you stumbled upon that made the police come after you?" "Soon your world will be engulfed in flames and you would be faced with the dilemma of a lifetime. All I seek is to find heroes capable of looking at the oblivion and facing it head on." "I preferred you when you were a unruly student rather than a prophecy obsessed doom-sayer. I also liked you more when you had your skin on..." "You want hard real truths. Behind your backs there's a very strong organisation seeking to destroy the fundamentals of your society as you know it ushering an age of chaos which was seen only during the first days of the Quirks. You'll experience the wars in South America all over again on a level never seen before. I hope you're ready to shed blood, tears and lives to put an end to such people. How will you defend yourself against the strong? How will you defend yourselves against the powerful when the laws they've created are there to protect them from you? When the law keeps justice at bay there can be no true heroes, no heroism. "And you want to find a hero how? Punishing the villains and tormenting the students with weird dreams?" Back on the rooftops. "Villain! Stop right there and prepare to face justice!" Endeavor says climbing to the top but Apnea doesn't even flinch. As soon as he took the first step forward Endeavor falls to the ground in a deep sleep. "There are hypnotic ways to make a person talk in their sleep." Apnea says before lowering his head to Endeavor's level. "I'll count to ten then you'll start telling me everything you see. When you see another person in your dream you don't know you will describe it to me, when you are in a place you don't recognize you'll describe it to me. When you see a Quirk you don't recognize you'll describe it to me. One, two... … … ten." And Endeavor started talking about all he was seeing. Endeavor found himself next to a large crowd. He was in a large city he thinks it's central Tokyo but cannot identify it properly. 'Hero awards' is written on one of the numerous signs. The crowd goes wild and then Todoroki Shoto appears on the stage. "It's obvious that my son would receive an award." Endeavor says proudly but... it was weird. Todoroki was cold on the stage, had little to no emotion. He was receiving an award for being such a prolific hero yet he shows no emotion. "I was the number one and I hated it. I was the best but not a hero, I pushed myself in corners I didn't wanted to go, I've done things I wasn't proud off. That was unacceptable..." "What? My son was the number one yet gave up the crown for someone else?" Endeavor shouts angrily. "I'm glad now to be here and finally say that the true number one is ready to take back his place. I've hold onto a title that didn't belonged to me..." "Why? Why would you say that? Being number one is... what I've trained you to be... You're the hero..." "Keep going, what are you seeing, what is happening?" Apnea asks as as Endeavor stops talking thinking for a second. "Why is Shoto happy to be just a hero? The title of number one..." "It means nothing, what else do you see? Who's there, what people are talking about, who's number one? "I see..." Endeavor says sitting quietly listening to his dreams. "Useless." Apnea says. "I'll just make things easier for us" He pulls out a dagger ready to stab Endeavor but Kalimni stops him. "There is no need, a hero never hides from adversity, killing him now will just make us weaker, cower because our powers cannot defeat him yet. We need him to become stronger ourselves." "You've heard what he was saying?" "Yes, and my heart is that much lighter. Call me, childish as if the old Al is still here putting his mark on my decisions." "You're talking as if you aren't the same person." "It matters not, let's go." As Endeavor and Aizawa were driving Kalimni and Apnea away Deku was still in his dream, having, risqué visions of his future. "Oh man, I can't... take this any more. What is dream me going to do next? Ah, my head suddenly moved towards the door, is someone home? I can see the lights turned on in the kitchen, a shadow, someone is coming my way. Who's it going to be? Who..." The clock rings just as Deku was about to see his future soulmate. "NOOOO!" He shouts with a One for All empowered shouts so strong it nearly breaks the frame of the bed. Everyone gathers back to the main hall to discuss their dreams. "I've had a concerning dream last night. I've seen my family happy for the first time all together. I should check on them when I have the chance." Todoroki says. "I too had a pleasant dream, I was the head of a hero agency teaching the new generations how to be heroic." Ida says in response. "I wouldn't call it pleasant as much as... uncomfortable." "Gloves... gloves... shampoo." Deku was mumbling while walking around the room like a zombie. "So close, so close" "Did you had a dream about gloves and shampoo?" Ochaco asks. "Yeah... I must have been cold or something." "Right... I guess you don't have to deal with your Quirk like I do with mine?" "You have to wear gloves?" "Yeah, sometimes when I'm agitated I wear mittens on my hands during the night so I don't randomly activate my Quirk and make my bed levitate during the night." "You... you... you... do?" "Why, is there something wrong? You're all red, were you cold last night and dreamt about mittens then caught an illness?" "No! I mean... mittens... I mean... Excuse me!" Deku shouts while running away in embarrassment.
"Is there something weird about mittens? Or..." Ochaco stops while blushing. "Could it be he dreamt about me?"
