"All of the new students look really promising this year."

"Of course. They get better and better every year."

". . ."

"Is there somthing on your mind?"

"Yeah. . .I'm just worried about one student in particular."

"Which one?"

"The boy with green hair and freckles."

"What makes you worry about him?"

"Well. . .his record shows that he had a bit of a temper problem back in grade school. And no parents to speak of."

"That would be difficult if I where orphaned at such a you age. But whats so wrong about it?"

"After grade school, he almost had nothing abnormal in the slightest. He didn't stand out in class, didn't get in trouble. Hell, for the first two years of middle school he was labeled not to have a quirk at all."

". . ."

"It just seems strange for someone like him to try and become a hero. Its almost as if he has no drive."

"What did he write on the written exams?"

"When it asked him why he wanted to become a hero?"

"Yes."

"He just goes on and on about 'Keeping the balance'"

"Interesting. We may need to keep a close eye on him. All Might?

"Yes sir?"

"I want you to do that for me."

"Understood headmaster."

Izuku opened his eyes.

It was dark, and not a sound to be heard.

Izuku groaned and placed his head over his aching forehead as he started to remember what had happened. He remembers falling. . .and a sharp crack as he hit something. To Izuku it felt like a wall of concrete.

He wanted to stop thinking at the mercy of his aching head, but his thoughts continued to run wild.

He let his hand fall back onto the bed with a thud. And with that force, Izuku was suddenly aware of the I.V. in his forearm, causing him to wince.

Everything seemed to hurt. It seems like he had broken more than a few bones in the process of whatever he did.

Izuku breathed in for a moment and exhaled a small puff of green flame. It seemed to dance around the room giving life to his surroundings in a hazy green light. Once it found a place where its light reached all the corners of the room, it stood there flickering.

Izuku stared at the ball of light for a second, its life capturing his less-than-awake attention.

That was his quirk.

It was called pyromancy. He could create flames from his mouth and control them at will. Interesting sure, but not something Izuku really cared for.

The reason why is a story for another time.

Finally gaining control over his thoughts, he scanned the room around him. It didn't really look like a hospital, so it must have been the school's medical office.

Before he could think to get out of the bed, a sudden bang rang out in the silence of the room.

Izuku tensed and quickly dispersed his flame before the nurse walked in.

"About time you woke up." She stated calmly at the doorway.

"You scared the crap out of me old lady. Could you be any louder?" Izuku asked, relaxing again.

The nurse seemed to give a small smile as she walked to Izuku's side. Still smiling, she placed her hand on Izuku's bandaged arm causing him to cry out in pain.

"Honey, I can be as loud as I want to. This is my hospital and you are supposed to be asleep." She said pressing on his arm again.

It was morning.

The sun was out and smiling. The clear autumn sky beckoned for a frolic in the woods. However, Izuku laid there on the bed with a rather angry expression on his face.

Not because he was bedridden by they nurse who refused to let him leave.

But because his throbbing arm wouldn't let him sleep ALL NIGHT, and because of this HUGE man who sat next to him with a huge, cheeky grin.

It was All Might.

The superhero who supposedly stood out from the rest. He was said to be the strongest with hidden powers. He was rumored to be the one who stopped a full on villain attack ten years ago.

But since then, he hasn't been nearly as active as he once was. Izuku had idolized him when he was younger, but after a little while that love seemed to diminish.

So of course he's "irritable" when this random man feels obligated to talk so loudly for a HALF. HOUR. STRAIGHT. He kept going on and on about "The power hidden within" and "The goodness of heroes".

It was honestly sickening.

"Hey, All Might?" Izuku said, interrupting his monologue. The great man beside him stopped for a second. A hint of surprise in his expression.

"What is it my boy?" He responded.

Izuku was also slow to respond. "It's not that I don't enjoy what you're saying All Might. . .But I was wondering when I might be released?"

Izuku waited for an answer as All Might leaned back in his chair. "Within the next five hours or so. Are you eager to be back home?"

"Not especially.I'm just tired of sitting around in this hospital bed waiting."

"That's all part of the healing process my boy."

"It just. . .gets boring. And that makes me really anxious for some reason."

"Well then, this might make things a little bit more exciting." All Might Gestured to the door. "You can come in now Miss!"

Not a moment later, the door creaked open revealing a girl behind it. She was in relatively normal clothes with short brown hair. He eyes were wide and soulful in those light brown irises.

"Hey." Uraraka said awkwardly, with a wave of her hand.

"Hey." Izuku responded, just as timidly.

There was a moment of silence that passed before All Might decided to stand up.

"Welp!" He said clapping his hands together, "I best leave you two be. Have a good day children!"

However, it was only a few moments before his head popped up again in the door frame. "And no prohibited activities you two! This place may not have cameras but it is still a hospital!"

And before Izuku had the chance to yell at him, he was gone in a flash of wind that shook the room.

And if she wasn't already nervous about being here alone, she sure was now. Her face was as red as the setting sun as her mind probably went through all kinds of scenarios that she played out.

There where a couple more moments of silent awkwardness and Izuku at this point felt like he was going to die.

"So. . ." She mumbled. Izuku's head snapped to attention.

Uraraka fumbled with her hands a bit, like she's not quite sure what to do with them. Then she clasped them together and looked at Izuku with a newfound confidence.

"I wanted to thank you for protecting me at the entrance exams." She said.

"Uh. . .you're welcome." Izuku responded. However there was still a question on his mind.

"What happened after i took out the zero pointer? I don't remember much after that."

Uraraka looked a little surprised for a moment. "You really don't remember?" She asked.

Izuku just pointed to the bandage around his head.

"Oh, right." She said, rubbing the back of her head with an expression of mild embarrassment.

She then put her finger to her chin in deep thought. "After you took it down, a piece of it's finger fell on the rock I was under allowing me to get out. But my gravity effect was still on you during the explosion you caused. So you flew really hard into a bench that off the side if the street. After that I carried you out and got you to the teachers who took you here."

Izuku leaned back in his bed and let out a small huff, along with a spurt of green fire.

"I'm sorry about that. I didn't even think about what would happen after I managed to beat that thing." Izuku Apologized.

"Don't worry about it." Uraraka said, smiling.

Izuku smiled back, feeling content.

Suddenly Uraraka dug into her bag, fishing for something.

"I Brought you some clothes." She said handing him a 6 pack of boxers, a pair of jeans, some socks, and a tacky shirt that read "Eat. Sleep. Game. Repeat."

She gave a sheepish smile as he read the shirt. "Sorry about that. It was the only thing that looked to be in your size."

Izuku smirked, "Thank you for doing this." He said now smiling.

Uraraka's smile widened a bit.

"No problem. Although I would have gone by your house to pick up some clothes. But considering we had just met yesterday, I decided to call your family to see if they could do it."

Izuku's smile suddenly dropped.

"Because obviously your clothes where in tatters. But you didn't have any emergency contacts. So I decided to get you some clothes instead." Uraraka continued.

Izuku absently rubbed his finger over the shirt cloth, thinking.

Uraraka noticed this and said, "Hey. Are you alright?"

Izuku looked up seemingly snapped out of his trance, "Yeah, I'm fine." He said.

"it's just. . ." He paused, "would you like to get lunch after I'm released?"

Izuku watched as her face grew red like a ripening tomato, "As thanks for bringing me clothes?" He quickly added.

After a few moments of an internal freakout from Izuku and an external one from Uraraka, she eventually agreed and walked out the door with a promise to see him again.

After another moment passed by, Bakugo walked in the door.

"Nice going there captain flirt." He said with a thumbs up.

"Shut the fuck up." Izuku promptly replied.

"Missed you to man." Bakugo said sitting down on the bed opposite from him.

"Hey, I got you a little something since you have a girlfriend now." Bakugo said with a wicked grin reaching for his pocket.

"Bakugo, I swear to God, if those are condems I'm going to smack you with my fire."

"IIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT'SSSSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,"

"Bakugo, I'm warning you."

"CCCCCOOOONNNNDDDDOOOMMM!" Bakugo yelled as the rubber landed on his chest.

Bakugo was hysterical for a few moments before his hair suddenly felt singed.
