Chapter 7

"Great job you two." Izuku said with a smile while on a couch, clapping his hands together in praise for the two. "That was probably your best introduction yet."

Dekuman let out a chuckle as he reached down a picked up Eri, lifting her up on his arm. "Yeah. You're really getting the hang of this Eri. Keep this up and you'll be the top hero in no time!"

Eri gave him a joyful giggle. "You really think so?"

"Think so? I know so." Dekuman gave Eri his signature hero smile before noticing the others entering the room. "Oh... hey there. You guys must be Class 1-A... Nice to meet ya." He sat Eri down before walking up to the class. His eyes were narrow seemingly scoping them out. Despite that, there seemed to be traces of nervousness in his eyes strangely.

A little nerved by this, Kaminari spoke up.

"Uh, dude? You cool?"

Dekuman's eyes widened in realization, before raising his hands up in defense.

"Oh! Sorry about that. I was just seeing who was in your class. To see if... someone I knew happened to be here."

"Really? Who was it? Perhaps we know them and can ask BJ to bring them over." Iida suggested

A wave of fear washed over Dekuman's eyes as he thought about the person being there. "NO!" After his outburst, he chuckles and scratches the back of his head, embarrassed for his sudden fearful display. "S-Sorry about that. "

Everyone just looked at him perturbed, wondering just who could cause a hero who cracks jokes in the face of death to shout in fear. Whomever it was, they must be truly horrifying.

Letting out an awkward cough, Dekuman decides to change the conversation.

"So, I hear you guys are training to be heroes in your world. Making any good progress? I'll tell ya, being a hero sure ain't easy."

After hearing this, the class eased up. While a little off putting at first, he was still Izuku, in some way or another. Shortly after this, everyone decided to get comfortable, relaxing on the couches, playing games, eating snacks, or chatting with one another.

Many were interested in talking to Dekuman, seeing as he was from a world different than theirs. Unfortunately though, he regretted to inform them that he wasn't allowed to tell too much about his world to them, seeing as they may watch more of it at a later time.

A similar story was told by the Midoriya from another world, but from what he did tell them, his world is pretty much the same as theirs. He just happens to be a father in his. This is only proven further by him casually playing with Eri while somehow managing to maintain a normal conversation.

While it was a bummer to hear they couldn't learn everything, that didn't deter them from wanting to learn more about Dekuman. I mean, it's their classmate and friend from another world, of course they wanted to know more about what he was like.

And they learned that while he does retain some awkwardness that could be seen in their Izuku, he was far more confident and outgoing than his counterpart. It's a wonder what Izuku could accomplish if he just had a smidgen more confidence in himself.

also had the ability to turn into a submarine... Just because it's irrelevant doesn't mean it's not important.

This went on for a while until BJ randomly walked in, holding what seemed to be a clipboard with multiple sheets of paper attached to it.

"No, no, yes, maybe..." He mumbled to himself.

"Hey there BJ." Uraraka said with a wave. "What's that you got there?"

BJ's eyes widened as he realizes just where he was. He really needs to stop walking around to random places while he thinks. "Oh this? It's just some requests for possible universes for you all to see." He shrugs as he grabs a drink.

"Requests?"

"Yeah, don't you remember what I said right before we started? I'm giving viewing rights of this whole experience to a large number of different beings like me who wish to follow along. Naturally, a lot of them would give out requests for which universe they'd like you all to see."

Hearing this caused some of them to look around, as if trying to find where they are currently being watched, only to find no hint at there being anyone else around.

"Um... How many people are watching us exactly?"

Everyone having turned their attention to BJ, they all awaited his answer. Only for them to hear one they weren't expecting.

"I don't know." BJ said casually with a shrug as he continues to write down on his clipboard.

Their jaws had practically dropped to the floor at the answer, most not sure what to even say. Except for Bakugou.

"How do you not know? Didn't you say you were a god or some ****?" Bakugou let out a savage growl at once again being censored. BJ, however, merely rolled his eyes.

"Correction, I said I was the closest thing when compared to you guys. I'm just from a higher plane of existence than you all, which is why I'm able to bring you all here and manipulate things to the way I see fit."

Nezu placed a finger on his chin as he and others contemplated this. "I think I get it. To you, we're all essentially like drawings to you. Us, as 2-D can only do so much with whatever you, as 3-D, give us."

BJ's eyes widened in surprise at the little dog, mouse, bear principle. "Uh, yeah actually. That's pretty accurate."

It was pretty fair to say that Nezu's explanation was far easier to grasp than BJ's, albeit not any less uncomforting to most.

Bakugou on the other hand, scoffed at the thought of him being compared to a drawing of all things. He'll find a way to topple this BJ guy, and show them all why he's the best. In his universe or any other.

BJ however, having heard his thoughts, had a few choice words for him.

"Don't even try it Sparky. Neither you, or even your prime self are anything compared to me." He said with a glare.

While Bakugou was livid at him reading his thoughts, he was still one of the few to catch something strange in what BJ said. "Prime self?"

Hearing the confusion in his voice, as well as seeing it on everyone's faces, BJ slaps his head in realization. "Crap. I didn't tell you guys about the prime universe."

Everyone waited for him to just say whatever the heck he was talking about. Even Nezu and Yaoyorozu were drawing a bit of a blank on what BJ meant. BJ merely sighed as he drew everyones attention.

"Here, let me explain. You all get the idea of the multiverse at this point. What I didn't bring up earlier was what is known by me and some others as the "prime universe." You see, the prime universe is where your multiverse originated from. Every universe we have and will see here was based around this universe. That's why it's referred to as the prime universe."

"Oh, I get it." Said, surprisingly enough, Kaminari as he cockily smirked in pride. "So then I must certainly be from the prime universe then."

Nearly everyone, including even Eri, deadpanned at the boy. "No, you're not." BJ said without care, causing Kaminari to slump down in disappointment.

Ignoring this, All Might asked BJ a question his, and a few others, minds. "Are any of us from the 'prime universe,' as you say?"

In which he got a shake of the head, saying no. Knowing however that there'd be more questions, he decided to elaborate a bit more.

"You see, none of you are from the prime universe, you are all from a universe very similar to it, albeit with a few noticeable changes. Even with all my power, I am incapable of doing anything that manipulates the prime universe in any way." He explained.

"Well why not? If you're able to manipulate our universe, how come you can't you do anything to the prime one?" Iida asked curiously.

"That is because I did not create the prime universe. Since I did not create it or can get permission from the one who did, I have no power over it."

"Well, who did then?"

"A man by the name Kohei Horikoshi. By all intents and purposes, he IS your god."

This was a lot for the group to take in at once. Learning that there's a infinite multiverse as well that they're mostly a copy of another in such a short time frame is sure to scar them for years to come... but we don't have time for that!

"Alright guys, time to get back to the theater room." BJ announced.

"W-what? Already?" Uraraka said, shook by this.

"Yup. Sorry guys, but we need to get this ball rolling again after being absent for a few months." With a snap of his fingers, the door that lead them into the room manifested once more.

"Months? But we were only in here for-" Before she could finish, BJ flashed out of existence. He still needed to find and select other universes to show them.

Shrugging their shoulders, a good few of them started making their way back to the theater. Eri however, couldn't help but clutch onto Izuku's leg. While she definitely wanted to see what other universes her hero was in, she also was having a blast playing with Izuku and Dekuman.

Seeing this, Izuku knelt down to Eri's level. "Go on Eri. It's alright. We'll be here when you get back."

"But..."

Dekuman extended his arm and lifted her up towards him. "Come on Eri, don't you wanna go see more heroic moments with yours truly?" He asked, getting a nod from her. "Then ya gotta go then. And, when you get back, you show me all that you learned. Afterall, if you're gonna be my sidekick, you can't stop trying to improve. Right?"

Despite still looking a little hesitant, Eri shakes it off and now has a look of determination. "Right!" She said as she confidently leaped out of Dekuman's grasp.

He gave her a heroic grin before pointing at the door. "Onwards!" Eri then raced off through the door, prompting Aizawa to sigh and her.

Mirio smiles at Dekuman and gives him a thumbs up for a job well done. "I should probably go too. I can't wait to see you again Dekuman." Mirio then proceeded to leave.

After exchanging a few more goodbyes, everyone else left the room, leaving only Izuku and Dekuman. It was pretty quiet for a while, the two merely looking around the room. That is until Dekuman, the extrovert he was, decided to break the ice.

"So... What do we do now?"

"... I'm not quite sure to be honest."

AN: Finally, the intermission is done. Now we can get back to the fun bits. But if and when I do another one of these, tell me, which Izuku should I also include? 'Cause depending on which one I do bring in, there could be some fun to sprinkle in.

Also, who else should I bring in for the viewing? Feels like I should be bringing more people as we progress through.

Anyway, I'm off to write the next chapter. Be sure to leave me some more suggestions!
