Aizawa had told Hellboy to go to the nurse's office for his injuries, even though he insisted they weren't that bad. They even stopped bleeding by the time he got in the building. His teacher wasn't hearing any of it and had him go anyways. While walking through the halls, he did get a lot of stares from other classes and students walking by. Some people even commented on him.

Two girls that were running an errand whispered to each other, "It looks like he just got into a fight with a huge tiger!"

"He definitely looks like he could though, look at those muscles." They both snickered.

Some other guys that were hanging around, skipping classes. "Woah, look at that big guy!"

"He's a monster!"

"SHHH! He'll hear you!"

"I MEANT IT IN A GOOD WAY, YOU LOOK AWESOME!" the second guy yelled back.

Hellboy just waved his right hand, going into the nurse's office. He was met with Recovery Girl, who when she saw him got nervous. He waved to her, shutting the door behind him. He sat down on one of the beds as she got normal bandages from her cabinet.

"Y'know, you really don't need those bandages. You know I've seen worse than this, or have you forgotten the bar in my back from the entrance exams?" He joked. She didn't laugh.

She closed the door to the cabinets, bandages, rubbing alcohol and cotton balls in hand. "I haven't forgotten about that, but I'm still going to do the best I can to fix you up, sonny." She grabbed a tray, pulling it over to where the student was sitting, and began examining the wounds. "Who attacked you this early in the year?"

The door opened, a white, mouse-like person in a suit and tie with a scar on his right eye came in, along with All Might who was still in his muscular form, but without a smile this time around. The small mouse man, who Hellboy knew as the Principal, Nezu. He was the first to speak, "Actually, we were wondering the same thing. As All Might here has explained to me, you and the creature spoke to each other. And your teacher told us you were surprised it was there to begin with, as if it was supposed to be elsewhere. We would like an explanation, if you can give one."

Hellboy sighed, pulling a sucker out of his pocket, which was covered in blood. He tossed it into the trash across the room, making it in, then looked to the principal. "That thing was a monster, one that is supposed to be in America. A 'skinwalker' as they're called there by the Navajo."

The principal nodded, "That is concerning. But what I'm more concerned about is what you and it spoke about, because it seemed to have been something troubling for you to stop it as rashly as you did."

The mouse caught him there, so he continued, "I asked him why he was here, and he brought up the prophecy. It's just a bunch of bull though, trust me."

All Might crossed his arms, "What kind of prophecy would this be, Hellboy?"

"The 'reason' I was made," he made air quotes with his hands, "to bring forth the apocalypse. But, I don't believe all that crap. I want to do good, I want to help people! I want to fight monsters, not be one."

"Destiny is sometimes a funny thing," the mouse began, "it will happen no matter what you do. If this truly is-"

Hellboy made a quick glare at the mouse bear thing, "It. Is. Wrong. I wouldn't hurt anyone unless they wanted to hurt another."

"And if it isn't wrong?"

"Kill me if we figure that out, but I'm not going to. I guarantee it. Even if I'm not human, that's where I stand, with humans!" He kept a stern glare at the both of them. He loved humanity, Izuku, Inko, Uraraka and Tenya. Hell, even Bakugou, I would fight with them all until the end.

The teacher and the principal looked at each other, then Nezu to Hellboy, with a small smile. "Then, that's all we need. We believe you." The principal turned to the door, "We'll see to it you become a hero and get the support you need to defy your destiny, Bringer of the Apocalypse. We would like you to keep this to yourself though, Hellboy. The usual confidentiality, until further notice."

"I hear ya." The red devil responded with a relieved sigh. The principal left, but All Might stayed, returning to his emaciated form with a cough of blood.

All Might looked to the student, with a pause, he asked him a question, "You came into this world around nine years ago, correct?" Hellboy nodded, "So, it would be safe to assume the monsters only came around because of you?"

He responded, "No, the monsters themselves have been around for a while, any bit of folklore, myth or what have you do have some truth to them. They've only been acting out because of me it would seem."

"I see." He walked towards the student, "The reason I ask is because you said you were wanting to fight monsters. There is an agency, it's been on standby because we were not completely sure about the appearances of these monsters. But as of recently, there have been so many accounts of monsters and so much evidence that it's more than obviously true."

Hellboy raised his eyebrow, All Might continued, "They're called the B.P.R.D, short for the Bureau of Paranormal Research of Defense. Their purpose is to uncover and defend humanity from supernatural entities much like the 'skinwalkers' we just faced. Just some food for thought, not sure if you would be interested, but they aren't a full agency yet. We had no real reason for them up until now, and I'm sure it will only get worse from here on out."

Hellboy nodded, ignoring the nurse as she dabbed his bites with the rubbing alcohol. All Might continued, "Of course, you would still help when someone was in trouble and it wasn't supernatural as it would still be a superhero agency!"

Hellboy smiled, looking to the underpowered hero, "Wouldn't be as cool if I didn't help people every once in a while, eh?"

The hero smiled, standing from the bed and powering up once more. He walked towards the door, turning his head, "Maybe next time we fight together, we'll save the world!"

"Maybe we will."

The teacher left him to the nurse.

Hellboy returned to the classroom shortly after as most of his wounds were sealing up already. He walked in, his uniform on as best as he could. All of the students looked up from their papers, smiling at the pleasant interruption. A lot of them burst from their seats, some even rushing to greet him.

A boy with red, spiky hair was pumping his fist in the air, "MAN, you took those things out like such a MAN! Just shrugging them off like they were nothing!"

A smaller boy with hair that resembled grapes was jumping sporadically, "You totally tore them apart out there! You were a real badass!"

The girl that sat next to Hellboy with the dark purple hair and ear jacks for ear lobes was looking at his chest, which had a bit of a scratch visible, "You really took a thrashing, you must be really hardcore."

The teacher, was visibly annoyed at the disruption. He yelled at the students, "Get back to your seats, now! We're in the middle of a lesson."

Hellboy nudged past them, "Those things are nothing. I've fought a lot worse before." He thought back in the first year of junior high when he fought a Gashadokuro, a giant skeleton that ate people and made them part of their collection of bones. It took a much bigger bite out of his torso, which he barely escaped from, but it still left bite marks on him for a solid week. He reached his seat, taking out some paper from his satchel.

It took a couple minutes for everything to settle down. Hellboy was trying to get caught up with the notes Izuku had passed him, following the notes as fast as possible a copying them down. Luckily, it was the normal stuff any school would give students, so Hellboy could just follow his brother's notes and fill in any blanks.

It wasn't long until lunchtime and he met up with his brother and new friends to sit together. "Man, monster hunting sure does work up an appetite, eh guys?" the devil joked as they walked in the halls.

Izuku laughed comfortably, used to the threat of monsters his brother faced. Uraraka laughed nervously. Tenya didn't, only curious of Hellboy's attitude. "You say that as if we weren't in a life threatening situation hours ago."

Hellboy tilted his head, "What are you talking about, I was fine-"

"You may have been, but other students were put in harm's way. We were not prepared for that kind of attack, and you couldn't have stopped the creature that lunged at us!" Tenya was glaring at Hellboy now.

Hellboy turned and shook his head. "Alright, give me a break! It's not like it's my fault they attacked." He turned away from the direction of the lunchroom and began to walk off.

"No, but you led them towards the school and towards us. That was reckless."

Hellboy turned towards Tenya, frowning, "What would you want me to do? It's already said and done anyways." He continued on his way to the lunchroom, leaving the conversation and his friends behind.

Izuku looked at Tenya once Hellboy was out of view. "Did you really need to be so mean? I mean, it's not easy to control a fight like that, you know?"

Iida looked to the shorter student, the stern expression present, "One thing we have to learn in becoming heroes is to put the safety of others first. Some of the students in 1-A are still unprepared for a fight like that, and had Ashido not used her quirk to stun the creature or Bakugou jumped in the fight to bring the attention to him, some of us could have been hurt or worse." He shook his head, "As much as I hate to admit it, Bakugou saved us in the courtyard."

Izuku wanted to protest, but had no words to say. Tenya was right in a way, Hellboy didn't have the situation under control, and almost got people hurt when he drew the skinwalkers into the courtyard. However, he also knew how some monsters fight, how dangerous they can be. In a way, they were much more dangerous than any person, even with a quirk. Containment isn't always the easiest.

Izuku kept quiet, not wanting to start an argument.

Ochaco tried bringing the tone up a little, "Well, we're still wasting time here. The line to lunch is filling up fast so we should probably get a move on!" She kept a smile, which brought the boys up. They both smiled, nodded to their friend.

Tenya responded, "You're right! We better get some energy in our system, our education depends on it!"

At the lunch table, Izuku, Uraraka and Tenya were met with other classmates in 1-A. Momo Yaoyorozu, Tsuyu Asui, Fumikage Tokoyami and Minoru Mineta. This was an oddity, being with so many people at once, for Izuku. Usually it was just him and his brother, which was fine as they both never ran out of things to talk about. The subject at the table, however, was the incident earlier today. Mineta started the conversation.

"Hey, Midoriya! Where did Hellboy learn to brawl like that?" This caught Izuku off guard, to the point he even jumped a bit. Everyone's eyes were on him.

He didn't really have a straight answer for them, he's always fought with that much furiosity from the first attack they had with the Kappa. Finally Midoriya shrugged, "He's just kind of used to it, I guess. He said it himself though, he's fought worse things."

Tokoyami, who had the head of a bird, perked in, "So, you're saying you and he have fought more of those creatures?"

"W-well," Izuku wasn't sure how much he should say. He only knew so much about the fights, most of the time Hellboy goes around searching for those monsters! He knew how to track down a lot of the creatures and didn't want Izuku getting hurt in the process. "Not just the skinwalkers, he's fought other kinds of monsters too."

Tsuyu Asui, who had a very monotone set of facial expressions, jumped in, "You keep calling them skinwalkers, Midoriya. Ribbit."

"A-ah, yeah, that's what the monsters he fought were called."

Momo Yaoyorozu interjected, pointing her chopsticks at Izuku, "Earlier you said something about them not supposed to be here, right? What was that about?"

Izuku thought back to the library of books his brother had accrued over the years, filled with folklore and myths around the world. He didn't look like it, but Hellboy was a genius in these fields, "Well, I remember from one of the books my brother owns that the skinwalkers are supposed to be in America. They were monsters that tormented Native Americans, and today are said to reside in the Navajo territory." He tried remembering some of the texts his brother had, which sent chills down his spine, "Legend has it they were originally human, but resulted to cannibalism for one reason or another. In doing so, they let in demons that change them and what we saw today is what they turn into."

At this point, the color drained from Mineta and Ochaco's faces. The rest were unsettled by the story. Mineta mumbled to Izuku, "But, that's just a story, right? Demons and cannibalism, right?"

Midoriya shook his head, "I've seen monsters myself over the years. They usually aren't ever as dangerous or hostile as this though. The worst I've seen myself is the Teke Teke up until this point, which isn't even a problem anymore."

Mineta was really anxious, and switched the conversation over, "I-I bet with your quirk you aren't afraid anyways! With how strong you are, I bet you just punch monsters so hard they never mess with you again!"

"Well, I didn't-" Crap, almost blurted out that I didn't have a quirk! "U-um, yeah, I guess they never really messed with me too much." He tried laughing with confidence, which was a miserable attempt at it. Luckily, no one caught him slipping up and just carried on with the conversation.

Tokoyami was the one change topics, "Well, with that out of the way, I wonder what the rest of our high school career will have in store for us."

"Yes, I was actually surprised at how quickly we changed to normal lessons in the classroom, ribbit." Asui added.

The topic of the incident was over, and Izuku was glad about it. Still, I wonder where Hellboy went. It's not like him to miss lunch, even when he's angry and whatnot. I hope he's doing alright.

The lunch period ended and Hellboy was already in class. He figured that he'd already missed lunch anyways, so he decided he would get the notes his brother gave him copied already. Once the students started piling in, Hellboy put the paper back on his brother's desk. Once Izuku came into the classroom and saw his red brother, he walked to him with a concerned look on his face.

"You okay? You didn't eat." Izuku doesn't always get the chance to be a big brother to Hellboy, but when he did he felt important at least for a bit.

Hellboy smiled, giving his green-haired brother a warm pat on the shoulder, "Yeah, I'm doing great. Just had to do some things, that's all."

Midoriya smiled, putting a small bag on his desk,"Well, I got something for you anyways. Can't have you going the rest of the day empty."

The younger brother's smile turned into a grin as he gave Izuku a one-armed hug over the shoulder, "What would I do without ya! Thanks again for letting me borrow the notes."

Izuku rubbed his left arm, laughing warmly, "No problem at all."

Some of the class members watched this interaction, some wondering which one was the older brother and some of the girls left wondering which one was a top and which was a bottom. Mineta caught this and intervened that train of thought, "No way! They wouldn't be like that, they're brothers!"

The rest of the day went off without a hitch, the studies were normal and Hellboy was able to keep up pretty well. For how strange of a person Aizawa was, he was a pretty good teacher.

On the way home, Hellboy explained what the skinwalker had told him to Izuku. "Wait, do you think that something brought the skinwalkers to you then? Are you being targeted?" The shorter brother asked, his heart in his throat.

The devil shrugged, looking at his brother, "That's why you need to work extra hard to get your gift working. Like Tenya pointed out, I won't always be there to knock whatever comes your way down. And we don't know how strong they are going to get."

Izuku swallowed, thinking about the skinwalkers and how fast they were, and imagining what would have happened if Bakugou hadn't jumped into the fight. His friends and classmates, being ripped to shreds, eaten alive, by the skinwalkers. It scared him to the point he felt like throwing up. He was brought out of the vision when his brother placed a clean sucker in his mouth and chuckled.

"We'll be fine. You'll learn how to use your quirk, and once you do, there won't be any monster that can harm anyone ever again!" They had just gotten to their apartments, so they both turned towards the stairs. "C'mon, future Symbol of Peace, let's see what Ma is cooking tonight!"

They both raced up the stairs, eager to get their bellies full of some food after such a long and stressful day.
