*Uraraka's P.O.V*
Class resumed 2 days later. Both Midoriya and Iida came to class, and thus easing away my worries. Midoriya was bandaged but still the same Midoriya I know.
"Hey Midoriya... you alright?" I asked walking over to his desk.
"Yeah I'm fine... but is something wrong with Iida?" He asked.
"... Ask him yourself, I think you should hear it from him first." I said.
He must have noticed my shift from happy to serious, because he nodded without saying another word and walked over to Iida's table. Iida explained what happened as Midoriya's expression didn't shift, once Iida was done, Midoriya placed a hand on his shoulder.
"... I can see what you want to do. Don't." He said.
"I have no idea wha-"
"You know damn well what I mean..." Midoriya said as he looked around the classroom, then at the clock, "We'll talk after lunch." He said as he headed back to his seat.
Class started as Mr. Aizawa came in to tell us about internships. He told us that internships have been extended to first years, after that explanation Mr. Aizawa flashed the students who got offers. Todoroki was first with 4021 offers, Iida was second with 2540, Bakugou was thrid with 1123 offers, Yaoyorozu was forth with 756, I was fifth with 98 offers, and the list goes on... but there was something... wrong about this list. Midoriya didn't have any offers.
"Huh, I didn't get any." Midoriya commented, "Oh well, that's how it is." He said nonchalantly. But how? He got second place? Yet no one gave him a single offer?
Anyway, Mr. Aizawa gave us the whole period to think of our hero names with Midnight coming in to give the final say. I had one in mind already... but I felt my phone buzz.
Class went on as everyone made and shared their names, I decided on Uravity, a mix of Uraraka and Gravity. As everyone made shared their names... everyone except Midoriya. Class was almost over and Mr. Aizawa gave us a list of offers for those who didn't get any, so they can experience working for a agency. Once those were handed out we were told to make our choice by the end of hte weekend. Everyone was mulling over their offers, I was as well... though I've been thinking about going to the Gunhead Internship, his martial arts could help me in combat.
Yeah... it's decided, I'm doing Gunhead's internship.
*A few days later*
Iida, Midoriya, Todoroki, and I were at the station about to go to our internships. We had our costumes in hand in case we need to go on patrols. We went our separate ways to go to our respective internships. Still... I'm worried about Iida, I hope he's fine.
*Midoriya's P.O.V*
I'm worried about Iida. We had a talk about him going to get revenge on Stain. I've had a run in with him during my tenure with the League, and he only kills heroes who have strayed from the word hero. So if Iida goes after Stain... and delcares he'll defeat him for his brother, then Stain will kill him. I can't let that happen.
My internship was with All Might's old teacher, Gran Torino. Needless to say, he helped me astronomically. He helped me realize that I need to regulate One for All's power, that realization allowed me to use One for All as a strength and speed buff, I shall call it 'Full Cowling'.
After a few days of honing Full Cowling. Gran Torino and I went on a patrol. Then... as if the universe has it out for me, a Nomu charged into the train and ripped out the side of it. Gran Torino kicked the Nomu out and told me to stay here to protect the civilians. I stayed put for a little while... then I saw a fire happen across town. Staying here won't accomplish s**t! I have to go in and help.
I activated Full Cowling and rushed towards the fire. Once I got there 2 other Nomus were wreaking havoc across the area. Many pros were both fighting them off and trying to control the fire.
"Where the hell are you Tenya?!" Manual... the guy Iida's interning for yelled directing the water at the fire.
Wait... Iida isn't with him, but how can tha- No... don't tell me. That f**king... gah! The minute I find him, I'm slapping his sorry a** face.
I ran off to... some direction in hopes of finding Iida. Stain is a killer who sticks to the shadows, so there is no way he's at the fire area with all the chaos. If anything he should be in an alley way somewhere, somewhere not far from here probably. I rushed through alley ways, glancing down others while running. Come on where is he-
There he is!
"Stain!" I yelled as I kicked off walls.
"Hu-" He said before I punched him in the face knocking him back a few meters.
"Long time no see..." I said as I stood ahead of Iida... and Native? "And you! Why the f**k would you go after Stain, when I SPECIFICALLY TOLD YOU NOT TO!" I yelled, he just laid limp there, "He got you with his Quirk too?" I asked as I pinched the bridge of my nose, "What's your blood types?"
"My blood type is B." Native said.
"I'm type A." Iida muttered.
"Okay... Iida will be released first, then you Native..." I said as I pulled out my phone and sent a message with just my location, I should put more... but I have a killer I need to deal with.
Stain reeled from the punch and stood up to see me, "You?"
"Yup, I'm here, and I'm here to take you down and take my friend and Iida away from you." I said getting ready to fight.
"So you'll stand in my way again?" He asked taking his sword, "I let you go out of the fact that you were a kid, but now I see that you're as far from being a hero as he is." He said.
"Heh... funny you should mention that." I said as I rushed towards him, "I've never claimed to be a hero yet." I said as I stopped before his sword and breath fire on him, "But one thing is for certain." I said kicking him away while he wsa dazed by the embers, "I won't let you kill my friend... and Native too."
Stain shook the embers out of his face and picked up her sword, "Alright then..." He said as he rushed towards me, "I won't let you go this time..."
He charged towards me as I dodged out of the way of his swing, I then kicked off the wall and landed a punch on his head.
"Seems... you've gotten a bit stronger since our first encounter." He said as he gripped the collar of my costume and slammed me onto the wall, with his sword on my neck, "But... not strong eno-"
"Midoriya!" A familiar voice yelled as a wave of fire was sent towards Stain, he jumped out of the way saving himself from the burns. Todoroki.
"Heh... I'm glad one of you jerks came." I commented as he scoffed.
"Well, had you sent something other than your location, more help would have ca-"
Then Stain launched from his flag pole towards Todoroki. Wait, he's focused on Todoroki, I can nail him. I charged up Full Cowling and jumped towards Stain getting ready to punch.
Stain stopped right before my punch could make contact, before I could react, he took his sword and with blinding speed. Severed my arm, the entirety of my forearm was sliced off and landed limply on the ground.
"AGH!" I yelled as I landed face first into the wall. Before I could move again Stain licked my blood off his sword rendering me immobile, my blood type is O, but now Todoroki is alone.
"Midoriya!" Todoroki and Iida yelled as Todoroki sent a wave of ice towards Stain, "Are you okay?!" Todoroki asked.
"MY F**KING ARM HAS BEEN SEVERED!" I yelled as the pain made me lose all rationality, causing my anger to explode.
"F**k, hang tight, the pros will be here in any minute!" Todoroki yelled as he sent waves of ice and fire towards Stain, but his agility is helping him dodge Todoroki's attacks.
Blood was pouring out of my arm... even if I regain mobility, how will I deal with the blood situation.
"Todoroki... freeze my wound." I muttered.
"Why-"
"JUST F**KING DO IT! I'M OF NO USE IF I PASS OUT FROM BLOOD LOSS!" I yelled as I started to feel a bit dizzy.
Todoroki nodded and sent more ice waves towards him, all the while making his way towards me. He kneeled down and froze my wound... that'll at least keep the blood contained. Todoroki then went back to keeping Stain at bay... then I felt a tingle in my body. I'm slowly regaining control. I glanced towards Iida... I can see him drag his fingers across the ground... he's regaining movement as well.
Stain rushed forwards and slashed Todoroki's ice barrier to pieces, he then rushed in to slash at him and stop his movements. Come on... just a little mo- I'm good!
I stood up and jumped in front of Todoroki again, blocking his blade with my left arm. Not only did he sever my left arm, but he also managed to slash my left eye.
"Midoriya!" Todoroki yelled as I gripped my arm wound.
"I-I'm-"
"RECIPRO-BURST!" Iida yelled as he launched himself in front of Stain's sword breaking it in two. Iida then kicked Stain out of the way.
"Iida, you're fine." I said as blood started to pour from my wound.
"Here... hold still, you stupid f**king idiot." Todoroki muttered as he froze my other arm wound, "Why the f**k would you do that?! You lost both your f**king arms!" Todoroki yelled.
I didn't resond. There was nothing to say, there was nothing I could say.
"Midoriya... Todoroki... this has nothing to do with you, I apologize." Iida said.
"Nothing to do with us, who the f**k do you think we are? Complete strangers?" I asked as I growled, "I'll yell at you later, we need to take him down and get Native out of here."
The fight continued, as time went on, Stain got more and more desperate and hasty. He's determined to kill Iida and Native before the pros get here. Todoroki used his fire and ice to keep him at bay, while I used my fire to keep him contained in one area as well.
"Todoroki, can you regulate your temperatures?" Iida asked.
"Not as good with my left side... but yes I can."
"You have to freeze my leg for me." Iida said as Todoroki glanced towards him, "Without plugging the exhast."
Stain jumped and threw a knife at Todoroki, but Iida took the hit with his arm.
"Iida!" I exclaimed as I hit him with my flame breath.
"Why won't you stay down?!" Stain yelled landing another throwing knife in his arm.
"Iida!" Todoroki yelled as the fire from Todoroki went away.
"JUST DO IT!" Iida yelled.
They're open... I have to hit Stain with my Full Cowling, I charged it up while Todoroki froze Iida's leg. Iida pulled out the knife from his arm as he got ready to attack.
Iida launched himself in the air, and I ran after him with Full Cowling. We came at him in two different directions, I can't use my arms... so I'll use my legs!
We both landed hits on his face and his abdomen. I left my leg stiff up, I must have over taxed it with Full Cowling. I was falling to the ground, while Todoroki sent a wave of fire towards Stain.
Stain recovered from the blow and slashed Iida's shoulder, but with his last burst of speed landed one last kick to keep him in the air long enough for Todoroki to finish him off with his fire.
Once I hit the ground the ice on my arms shattered.
"Midoriya!" Todoroki yelled rushing towards me.
Everything... was... blurry...
...
...
...
"Huh...?" I muttered as my eyes started to open, "What happened?" I asked as I sat up.
"Midoriya!" Iida yelled rushing towards me, "You're alright!"
"...So the Stain fight wasn't a dream?" I asked as I looked at my bandaged arms... and I felt my left eye... also bandaged.
"No... it wasn't." Todoroki said, "Stain was captured, but..."
Yeah... I lost my arms. I shouldn't have been so cocky, cocky and gung-ho about that battle, I could have very easily just blew fire at him and not have lost my arms...
Iida tensed up for a bit before bowing, "Midoriya... I'm so so sorry!" He exclaimed, "You told me not to go get revenge on Stain, but I didn't listen. I don't deserve your forgiveness, or to call myself a hero." He muttered.
I extended my right arm... he looked at me with wide eyes, "I would slap you if I could." I muttered.
I was about to yell at Iida, but then the door opened.
Manual, Iida's mentor entered the room... and Gran Torino entered as well.
"You!" Gran Torino yelled rushing towards me, "I could yell at you for days about this! What the hell were you thinking?!" He asked... then stopped himself, "But before I do, there's someone I like you to meet." Gran Torino said as the Chief of Police in Hosu entered the room.
Oh great...
The chief of police explained what we did, we used our Quirks against the Hero Killer. Which... is a problem. Apparently it's against the law to use our Quirks against people if we aren't certified heroes, even if that person happens to be the Hero Killer. He said that because of that we and our supervisors would face harsh consequences because of that act.
"Now wait a minute..." Todoroki muttered, "If Iida had not stepped in, Native would have been murdered, and if not for Midoriya both of them would be dead. No one else even knew the Hero Killer was in Hosu, are you saying we should have just stood by and watch people die?!"
"So, it's fine to break the law so long it goes your way."
... I didn't say anything, as much as I wanted to, regardless of my status at U.A. the people and the police know me as a criminal, so anything I say would be held against me.
"But sir... isn't it a hero's job to save people?!"
The chief looked down, "This is why you are not a full fledged hero yet. It's obvious U.A. and Endeavor haven't been teaching you well enough." He muttered, "What a shame."
"You damn mutt..." Todoroki growled, but I stood in front of him.
"Let him finish..." I muttered, "I should know, there's always a stipulation."
"Well, he is indeed right." The chief said, "What I've said is the official status of the police department, but any punishment would be necessary should this go public."
... I knew it.
"If it did, you would be praised by the general public, but would have to face the reprocussion of the law. Alternatively we could say Endeavor did it, the Hero Killer's burns would support this story, and any mentions of punishment would be gone. However it would mean no one would know about you though, you'd recieve no acclaim at all." He explained, "The choice is yours. Though personally I'd know where I stand." He said as he gave us a thumbs up, "I don't want to tarnish any young careers, especially one of an ex-criminal who wants to do good again." He said.
... That callout was not necessary.
"Either way we need to take responsibility for being negligent as supervisors." Manual muttered.
Iida walked over to Manual, he bowed and apologized. I bowed and also apologized, Todoroki did the same.
"I know it's not fair... You won't get to enjoy the fame that comes with this event." The chief said as he bowed, "But allow me, as the chief of police, to thank you." He said
Todoroki tensed up, "You know... you could have opened with that."
The Chief, Gran Torino, and Manuel left us to rest in the hospital. Iida left to get himself x-rayed, while I sat on my bed looking at my arms. They're gone... my arms.
"Why?" Todoroki asked.
"... I don't know." I muttered, "My body reacted before my mind could question my decision. My mind was telling me, protect Todoroki and Iida at all costs." I muttered.
Before Todoroki could respond, Iida returned.
"...My arm, might have some permanent damages." He stated as I felt a 100 ton weight be added to my heart, "My arms were pretty torn up, but my left arm is especially severe. The damage was to my brachial plexus. Which means... I'll have trouble moving my fingers. And my hand might have some numbness. Apparently, there's a chance it could be healed with nerve transplant surgery." He explained.
"Great... when are you getting it?" I asked.
"I'm not." Iida muttered, "When I came across the Hero Killer, I stopped thinking rationally. The first thing I should have done was call Manual. But I got lost in my own anger." He explained, "I hate him so much, but I can't deny he spoke the truth. That's why, until I'm able to call myself a real hero, I'll leave my left hand as it is." He said, "Though... this is nothing compared to what you have to deal with." He muttered.
I stayed silent and returned back to my bed, "Look, Iida. What you did was stupid, idiotic, and many other adjectives. But... I know more than anybody, what losing control of your emotions can do." I muttered as I looked at him dead in the eyes, "I'm not going to say, 'Don't blame yourself for all this' or 'It's not your fault Iida' because I'd be lying. So, what I'm trying to say, is that we will get stronger... together." I said, "And mark my words... I will get new arms so I can slap you across the face like I promised."
Iida gave a determined smile and nodded, Todoroki looked at us then looked down, "This might be... my fault." He muttered as Iida and I looked at his direction.
"... What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Everytime I'm involved with something... someone's hand gets all messed up." He muttered as he looked at his own hand, "Am I cursed?"
Iida and I looked at him in shock... then Iida burst into laughter while I held it in. "I didn't know you had a sense of humor Todoroki."
"This isn't a joke... I'm like, the Hand Crusher or something."
...Okay that broke me, I collapsed onto my bed in laughter.
"T-the hand crusher!" Iida and I laughed... then I realized something, school.
"Hey... can you guys do me a favor?"
"What is it?" Iida asked.
"Can you guys... not mention this to the others. I want them to focus on their internship and not spend the remianing time worrying about me." I said.
They glanced at each other then nodded, "Alright, we won't say a word... but you will still have to tell them when we get back to school you know?" Todoroki asked.
"... I'll deal with it." I muttered as I laid back onto my bed, "Oh and one more thing... Iida." I said.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Can you... teach me how to kick like you do?"
