Denki Kaminari yawned tiredly, lazily scrolling across his social feeds in the dark living area, sprawled out across one of the couches. He really didn't focus on much else, until he saw it was a good hour before class yet no one else had entered the living area to join him in the normal morning rush for breakfast and chatter. It was almost creepy how silent it was. While he did enjoy a few moments of peace, he thrived among his fellow students.

To no one, in particular, he yelled loudly, hoping someone would hear him. "Hey! If you all are sleeping in, wake up! We don't need to get in trouble today just because all of you slept in!" Honestly, why were they being so lazy today? It wasn't like him to be the most responsible of the group.

He heard some movement upstairs, which was a good enough excuse to relax again. He went back to scrolling on his phone in the dark. He didn't feel like turning the lights on. Sitting in the dark was oddly comforting.

Soon enough people started to enter the living area by the stairs, not the elevator. Odd… Sure he had done it that morning too, but that was just how he woke himself up on extremely slow mornings. He sat up, turning his phone screen off as Iida went, opening the curtains that covered the large windows. He flinched back, wincing as the bright morning light invaded the room.

"Turn on the normal lights, too bright!"

"We can't turn on the morning lights, didn't you see the alert from the school?" Iida countered easily. "Power to all the dorms are out."

"Oh," Denki glanced around at the crowd of boys. They were all dressed in uniform, though some of them looked worse for wear already.

"My phone is dead," Rikido Sato sighed as he sat down on the couch. His hair was unkempt and his uniform wrinkled everywhere. Suppose he didn't iron it last night.

"Mine too!" Minoru Mineta whined, crawling up onto the seat beside Denki.

"Hey! What's going on?" Momo Yaoyorozu yelled as she came out of the stairwell into the main room, a hair iron in hand. "Why is all the electricity off?" All the girls were following in step behind her, Tsuyu Asui carrying a flashlight so none of them tripped up in the stairwell.

Momo's hair was soaking, the only thing saving her uniform from the water was the towel she had placed around her shoulders.

"I got a text from the school," Iida explained calmly to them. "Something happened to the power and they say it'll take an hour or so to fix it. Classes are to go on as normal because the actual school wasn't affected."

"What, I can't go out like this!" Toru Hagakure whined loudly. She was still in her Pjs with a towel wrapped around what anyone could assume to be her hair.

"My phone didn't charge at all last night," Jiro complained as well. "I can't believe it has been out all night."

Denki curiously looked around. Was he and Iida the only ones that weren't that bothered?

"Iida, why is your phone still going?" Denki curiously asked.

"I had it hooked up to my mobile charger in my bag," he explained calmly. "I'm glad I did or I would have missed the morning alarm."

"I only woke up because I'm used to getting up this early," Momo sighed. "I can't believe this."

So much trouble just because the electricity went out. Hell, he could fix this easily- wait, why didn't he then? Denki sat up on the couch, motioning for Momo.

"Come here," he said while holding out his hand. "Let me see that flat iron."

"Um, okay?" Momo cautiously walked over, handing the item over. Denki looked at the plug. It didn't look comfortable. USB ends were the best to hold onto, but he could handle a normal outlet plug. He lifted it to his mouth, biting down lightly on the two prongs. He felt a spark between his teeth and the redlight on the flat iron turned on. He offered it back to Momo, keeping the plug in his mouth with a muffle 'tada'.

Momo gasped, then lifted the iron up to her hair without question.

Denki turned away and grabbed Sota's and Mineta's phone, holding them to his chest. Both screens turned on as they started to charge. He made a brief motion with his free hand to Jiro and she handed over her phone eagerly.

Before Denki knew it he had a dozen phones cradled in one arm and 3 plugs in his mouth. He was happy they were being careful and asking before they did anything. The girls who all had plugs in his mouth were trying to work fast, but it really didn't bother him. The power was out, his quirk allowed him to bring back their comfort and general needs before class started. It would look unprofessional if they all turned up looking like a mess.

Yuga Aoyama even got the iron out of his room and was helping people iron their uniforms with lightning speed, after asking if he could hold a fourth plug in his mouth.

It was odd, but he actually felt important. He wasn't the butt of a joke, and he was helping out his classmates in a way he couldn't in battle.

"Denki, this is amazing." Deku eagerly said, writing down in that notebook of his.

It was flattering he was worthy enough to be written about.

"When did you discover you can charge and power things with your quirk? How long have you been doing this? Can you do this on any electric tool? Does activating this quirk this way wear you out? How long can you charge things? How many items can you charge at once? What's the biggest item you've powered with your quirk? I see you have the plugs in your mouth, is there a specific reason for that? How are you able to-"

"Deku," Ochaco Uraraka gently interrupted. "His mouth is full of plugs, I don't think he can answer your questions."

Deku flushed deeply, holding onto his notebook for dear life. "Oh no, I'm sorry! I just um…" He shifted uncomfortably on the spot as he dropped his gaze to the floor.

"Calm down," she laughed softly as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "Denki, can you answer his questions later or something?"

Denki nodded, trying not to grin. He didn't want to show just how happy he was to be so needed. It felt nice… Even if it felt nice clearly Deku was too smart for his own good.

As the plugs were removed from his mouth he rubbed his jaw, then grinned goofily.

"Okay okay, questions, right Deku. Um, I only remember a few of them. I've been doing this for as long as I've had my quirk. I discovered I could do this when I fell asleep on top of my phone during school nights. My phone was never low on battery, so I went weeks without charging it. It does get a bit tiring, I like to think of myself as a rechargeable battery. I can charge over time, mostly when I sleep or I can charge up faster if I plug myself into an outlet. When I'm low on charge I do feel pretty drained and tired. But doing this is no issue, besides I can just plug myself in during class, it's an easy fix."

That seemed to be more than enough for Deku, he was writing so fast his pencil was a blur.

"Okay everyone, we should start heading out!" Iida called out to the class. "We don't want to be late! We have a full day ahead of us!"

"Stop the yelling!" Bakugo screamed as he walked out the door, grouching all the way.

"Alright alright, everyone I'll carry your phones to class so they can keep charging!" Denki happily called as he stood up, cradling the phones in both arms now. "Can someone just grab my bag? Oh, and did anyone move my book? I had it on the kitchen counter yesterday."

"Oh, I found it," Shoto Todoroki muttered, digging in his own backpack for a moment before he pulled it out. "I decided to hold onto it so it wouldn't get lost." As he explained he reached down, grabbing the black and yellow backpack from beside the couch. "I'm surprised you read such things, this is pretty advanced."

"What can I say, I love books," Denki shrugged and fell in step beside him, content to just follow the large class of A-1 out of the building. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood, even if they had to skip breakfast. Maybe they could swing by the cafeteria and snag something.

The classes were always so stressful!

Denki pouted to himself, sitting on the left side of the classroom under the windows, near the front of the class. There was a plug right here and the sunlight that came in felt refreshing. He needed to recharge, the intense lessons were draining him faster than when he was charging everyone's phones. He sat with his back to the wall, his favorite plug charging him. He preferred this because the end he put into his mouth was a bit softer and had some rubber around the metalhead, letting his teeth rest on that.

As he 'charged up' he was catching up on his missed book. Honestly, how did he forget it in the kitchen? It was finally getting interesting.

He had his headphones on, blasting out music and he was pretty sure anyone near him could hear it as well. He couldn't be bothered to turn it down, he needed his time alone, but not alone. He was in a room surrounded by rooms, but having a peaceful moment- it was rare he could have a moment like this and he loved it. Long classes paired with strict teachers and stressful tests made his heart pound and he could always feel panic invading his mind. At least they had these brief breaks where he would sit down and relax, recharge and calm himself.

His eyes scanned the pages of the book, his mind jumping between the lessons and the book he was reading. It was hard to focus today, maybe he was too jittery to read after all?

"Denki!"

Denki jumped a bit, then quickly composed himself as he pulled his headphones off of his ears, raising his gaze from his book. Oh, it was Iida.

"I have been calling your name for a while. Class is about to start back up, and listening to music so loudly can damage your hearing, and for a hero that can be dangerous!"

Denki hummed softly moving the charger to one side of his mouth. "Okay okay, I hear you," Denki joked as he turned his headphones off. "Don't worry I'll be in my seat before class starts. I just need some more time to recharge." That seemed to be a satisfying answer because Iida nodded approvingly before stiffly walking away. Denki tried to hide his snicker. Honestly, that man was more robot than human, in a good way.

"Hey Denki," Toru leaned back in her seat so it was balanced on the two back legs. "I was talking to Aoyama and Mineta."

"Oh really?" Well, that was an odd combo. Denki scooted closer, as far as the cable would allow him to. "About what, and why does this involve me now?"

"I was just wondering if you want to tag along. Listen- we," she started to whisper. Denki leaned forward, the charger unplugging from the wall. He didn't notice. "We're thinking about sneaking out tonight and heading into a nearby forest to stargaze and just hang out. Want to join? You can't tell anyone."

"No one?" Denki's gaze shifted away, watching Bakugo yell at Kirishima over his poor note-taking skills. They would definitely be too loud-mouthed, even if they were his friends. It would be okay to leave them just for tonight, they probably won't even notice he was gone. "Got you, I understand. I'm in."

"Great! We'll meet up in your room when everyone goes to bed tonight."

"Why my room?"

"Yours is the best to hang out in! We can hang out in there and use your throwing darts until we're sure everyone is fast asleep. I refuse to go into Mineta's room, and Aoyama's room is too bright for our eyes."

"Got it," Denki laughed lightly. "Sounds like a plan-"

"Why are you not in your seat," Aizawa coldly yelled from the front of the class. Denki felt like the grim reaper was standing behind him, counting down his moments to a very painful death at the hands of their teacher. His head whipped around to the front, his eyes wide when he saw the unamused Pro-Hero. Everyone was in their seats, looking at him. He was too focused on their conversation to have noticed their teacher walking in and taking his spot right at the front of the class.

"Oh, I was- um, nothing!" Denki chopped down on the plug and stood up, grabbing his backpack and hurriedly speed walking to his seat. He really hated class lessons. At least he could relax tonight with the others under the peaceful stars.
