Dan sat out on the ledge of the lifeguard tower watching the light gently fade from the ocean in front of him. He took a drag from his cigarette and frowned. He quit smoking years ago but the with the recent events that only happened hours ago got the stress levels up so the old habit came back when Know offered him one.
Know looked at his mate wondering what his thought process was. "According to the kid the guy she was with is part of the league of villains. She's got no idea who Midoriya is or that he's here with you. If she did we both know the boy wouldn't be talking right now"
Dan sighed looking down at the beach sand "If she's with the league then there's certainly a shit storm coming. They were already causing Japan trouble before she came along." Know simply nodded and looked out to the ocean before an opening door behind them grabbed both they're attention and saw Izuku walk over to join them.
"How's the chest kiddo?" "Not as bad as it was before but I think I'll be fine" Izuku said confidently.
Dan stood up to face Izuku "I'm glad you're okay kid but this complicated things. I think maybe it's time we get you home." Izuku was instantly felt with anxiety and confusion "w-what?! Why Dan?!" Izukus voice broke as he tried to speak and hold back tears.
Dan instantly felt guilt but knew it was for the best "You don't realise how dangerous vixen is. It's a miracle she let you live. I can't let you stay and be put at risk. How do you think your mother, all might and your friends would feel if they found out you died so easily without a fight. Your not strong enough to face a quirk like that on your own."
Izuku gulped trying to control his emotions and considered what Dan said to him "But I need your help Dan! Your training is making me stronger you know it! You've helped me control my quirk. A-and if you're with me when or if she comes back we can fight her together."
Dan flinched at the last sentence "I-I don't Know if I can fight back Midoriya..." Izuku raises his brows at Dan but waits for him to continue. "I'm sure Know has already explained my pathetic back story. About Matilda.." Izuku nodded "Well Doctor Vixen Or Victoria as what I used to know here as is Matilda's sister. They were very close. Victoria knew about my quirk because Matilda told her that's how close they were. When I failed to save her Victoria blamed me but didn't use her quirk on me because she thinks that my healing is more powerful then it really is. So she took her frustration out on civilians. I wanted to stop her but I couldn't even save my own girlfriend how could I possibly stop someone like her. Victoria was a heart surgeon and the best around thanks to her quirk but because of me instead of now saving lives she now takes them."
Izuku looked down at his feet and thought for a moment "I'll stop her. But I need you to keep training me. If we don't do this then you'll be exactly what she thinks you are." The words came out harsher then he intended due to the look Dan gave him. "You're a stubborn little shit aren't you Midoriya" Izuku gulped nodding
"Fine but we're leaving the city since i feel it to be risky here. We'll go in land west. We might have some hard work of a different kind for you to do."
League of Villains Lab
Vixen walked around inspecting her new work place "oh my You certainly out done yourselves. This is perfect." Shigaraki and Kurogiri simply stood back watching "Now I have one more request handy man"
Shigaraki cringed at the nickname "We've already discussed your terms. If you happened to kill Izuku Midoriya like Kurogiri suggested then I'd happily be open to your request but you let that brat live" vixen simply crossed her arms leaning on a lab bench "My oh my you're certainly getting your panties in a twist over a boy." Shigaraki growled "That BOY! Is the reason why Overload meet his well deserved fate. That boy is the reason the girl is in UA..." Vixen rolls her eyes and cuts him off "That boy isn't a threat because he isn't in Japan. He's in Australia. Why he is there I don't know and don't care. But he won't get in the way of our current plans. And when we achieve what needs to be done then I'll personally end him for you."
Shigaraki was caught surprised. She was right. That means he doesn't need to worry about him being at UA because he isn't there "Now about my request?" Shigaraki breaks his thoughts and looks back at the doctor "Hmm fine what is it?" She grinned devilishly "I want access to your Nomu. I believe I can do some modifications to benefit both of us. Especially for our little kidnapping operation."
Outback NSW Nyngan
Izuku stared at the landscape he stood in. It was flat. Very flat. Not a hill in sight for miles. The only thing that makes the horizon is distant trees and bushes. It was also hot. Almost unbearably hot.
Dan, Know and Izuku were now at a large sheep station and it was middle of shearing.
Dan decided that Izuku need to work in the wool shed to try a different form of physical labor. When they're not working then they're combat training or sleeping or eating. He felt there was no need to work on the boys quirk. He's basically got Black whip handled as his own. He believes if he pushes Izuku hard enough physically and mentally it'll help his control for one for all and hopefully manifest one of the many quirks that One For All holds. Once that happens then they can begin the process of learning the new quirk and how to use it.
Know and Izuku worked as rouseabouts in the shed. This involves picking up the wool off the floor from where it had been sheared off the sheep, placing it on a table made of spaced out bars and cleaning the dirty wool off it by picking it off. Then it would be placed inside a wool press and packed into bales.
This process is job that needs to be down in seconds since there's at least 6 sheep being shorn at a time. Once a bale was full and packed. It was Izukus job to move the 190kg bales on his own around the shed and stake them. Then race back to continue helping Know. This job involved a lot of crouching, back work and speed. The quicker he can do the job the better it'll benefit him. Plus he gets paid for his work at the end of the day too so that's always a bonus.
The work usually lastes for 2 hours then all workers get a 30 minute break. Unless it's lunch time then they get an hour break. Most people usually eat and sleep for the hour to recover. Others sharpen they're combs for the hand pieces used for shearing the sheep.
Izuku choose to only take the hour break. Whenever the guys had their 30 minute break he decided to go outside and do excercises like sits ups and push ups til work began again.
Dan couldn't help but be impressed with the boys commitment. "If he puts this much heart into everything he does then it's no one wonder why Toshi picked him as his successor. He choose well."
