The Infirmary was still as the Izuku that had just woken up roared at Hatsume, who was taken back by the anger in his voice, Ochako could see something in this Deku's eyes. Rage. Rage and undying fury burned behind his eyes as he launched himself upwards from the bed and perched on the railing like a beast ready to strike.
"Well? the fuck do you have to say for yourself huh?! Huh?!
Because nearly killing me isn't something I can forgive...ghk!!"
He bellowed before doubling over, clutching at his stomach as looked like he was paralyzed.
"The fuck?! Why does it feel like my blood is boiling?! Grrrrrrrah! I want to punch something or crush something!" Clinging to the railing at the foot of the infirmary bed, he fired up Full Cowl and crushed the railing with his bare hands. He seemed to have gotten a sick and twisted pleasure from crushing the frame railing.
Ochako watched another Izuku rise from his bed, quickly twisting and wrapping himself from head to toe in the standard blanket that the bed came with. Everything was covered except his face, which had the same features that Izuku had, but his eyes were waaaay too different. The flame that burned in them was dulled a little, reminding her more of the glow of dying kindling, he also had huge bags under his eyes, almost like he hadn't slept in weeks, maybe even years! Another thing he had was a deep scowl of annoyance plastered on his lips.
"Do you mind?! Some of us are trying to sleep!" This tired, lazy Izuku hissed at the other, who was still breaking non-vital things with his bare hands. "Ehhh?! Are You talking to me panda face?! Because you ain't got shit compared to me!!" "ugh clearly, look just keep you mindless destruction to a quiet minimum." Ochako, Tsuyu, and Iida watched the back and forth exchange of the two awake Izuku's, as she and Tsu go and pick from the two that remained asleep.
Both of the girls watch the two remaining Midoriya's with concern etched into their faces, they didn't have to wait for long; well Tsuyu didn't, as the Midoriya she was watching over shot up from his bed in a regal and elegant pose, showing off his toned pecs and sculpted abs before laying his smoldering green eyes on the froggy teen. "Mmmm so beautiful and elegant. And harsh honesty? Truly all traits of a fine woman indeed." He flirted as he snapped his fingers and pulled something from behind Asui's ear, which turned out to be a dethorned red rose. He places the rose in her hair then swiftly and passionately embraces her, making the frog girl's mind lock up as she didn't know how to deal with an Affectionate Midoriya.
Ochako felt a pang of guilt for leaving Tsuyu to this affectionate Izuku as he continues to flirt with her, while the angry and the lazy Midoriyas continue to argue as both All Might and Aizawa try to separate the two. She looked back at the Izuku still in bed and checked his features to make sure it was the real one, she felt her face get flushed as she touched his chest and wished she would do this under better circumstances. She was worried for him; the sound of him screaming still rang out in her head.
He began to groan and clenched his eyes together as her soft touch brushed along his abs, hidden under his tight muscle shirt, his deep green eyes fluttering open as he sees a blushing, yet worried, Ochako watching over him. He tries to sit up but Ochako is already off her chair and gently pushing him back onto the bed. "Izuku you need to rest, you had me-us extremely worried." She fretted as the others all came to his bed. He looked at everyone present, then to Uraraka "W-what happened? Why am I staring at three more me's?"
"We were hoping you could answer that for us, Izuku Midoriya." Growled Aizawa already fed up with this, and as he looked to his mentor, All Might looked like he was In the same boat as Aizawa.
Both wanted answers and they wanted them now.
1-A classroom, 9:56 am
Bakugo was happy for once. A blissful smile kept up to his face and has been there ever since this morning. In the dorms, everyone was freaking out over Round Face, Glasses Dork and Frog Legs' return. Raccoon Eyes' (Mina) was the first to ask about Deku. Round Face couldn't give the Acid Girl a straight answer. "Deku got sick while doing his morning run, so we helped him to the infirmary." Was all the two girls said, which Racoon Eyes (Mina) didn't buy.
It was from that point on, Bakugo had to endure the many theories and speculations of his class of idiots, ranging from the mundane, like him having a busted limb again; to the outlandish, like Deku being an agent for a secret organization. He had to roll his eyes on that one, especially when Raccoon Eyes and InvisiBitch wouldn't shut up about it.
"No, No! I'm telling you, his codename has got to be Evergreen! It just makes sense!" Tooru screeched giddily as she and Mina Ashido got into a heated debate over Izuku's spy codename.
Evergreen?really that's a bit on the nose. Thought Bakugo as he rested his chin on his palm.
"Maybe Midoriya is recovering from being in an experiment to enhance his quirk further, though how it happened, I don't know why." Todoroki hypothesized. What the absolute fuck Icy Hot! Bakugo screamed in his head.
"No way, dude! It's so obvious that our Izuku is already working as a sidekick and was called on a mission already!" Kirishima countered in his usual positive tone "No way Midoriya needs a power boost, considering he's pretty manly already!" Fucking Moron! What Weak Ass Agency would want that Shitty Nerd when I'm available? Thought Bakugo, as he painfully grinds his teeth in frustration at the thought of that useless nerd enhancing One For All.
Uraraka was a tad bit uncomfortable by the whole rumor mill that Mina spawned. Sure, it was really sweet and kind to see their classmates fret and worry so much for Deku, but when it got to the more outlandish speculations, she cringed a bit. Although the thought of Deku in a form-fitting tuxedo with a custom silenced pistol in one hand and a fancy drink shaken to perfection in the other got her imagination going. No! Stop it! Don't think about Izuku like that, dammit! She chastised herself mentally as she shook the image out of her head.
"Uraraka, what are your thoughts on this matter?" Momo questioned as she approached the usually bubbly anti-gravity user.
"I already told you guys that he's just sick." She said gently
"Yes, but something doesn't feel right about that statement. We all know Midoriya to be diligent, but for him to let his health decline so rapidly, frankly, it's a little hard to fathom." Yaoyorozu articulated, which prompted Uraraka, Asui, and Iida to give each other side glances as they knew the true reason, but were forbidden from talking about it.
~*Flashback*~
Izuku and his clones were in the process of being looked over after having explained the situation to PowerLoader, Aizawa, All Might and Recovery Girl.
PowerLoader rescinded his outright ban of Mei Hatsume, on the grounds that this incident was looking more and more like a setup. But to what the construction pro hero could not discern, still she had to be punished! So Power Loader opted for a four-day suspension with limited lab access, and she was to report to him immediately if she found any evidence of tampering.
Aizawa and All Might watched the clones get examined by Recovery Girl and wondered 'How did this happen?'
Recovery Girl gave a small hum before turning to the small group of students and teachers present as she gripped her syringe cane and sighed "Well I'll get straight to the point. These three you see standing before you are indeed Izuku Midoriya. Physically, at least. Mentally, they seem derived from the strongest emotions present in his mind at the time of separation." Izuku, Ochako, Tenya, and Tsu looked at the three clones in a new light. Then, Recovery girl spoke up again. "There is one other thing I've noticed. Midoriya, dear, try using your quirk at the most you can handle."
"Umm okay."
Izuku flared up One For All as green sparks erupted and started their dance along his skin, but just as he was about to reach 15% of his power, he felt his chest tighten and dismissed his power entirely as sickly lime green veins started crawling up his hand.
"Deku!!" Ochako cried as she was at his side as soon as he went down, fretting over his well-being. "What happened to him?!" She shouted fearfully.
"Izuku Midoriya, not only have you been divided, but so has your quirk." She gestured to the clones who were looking at themselves in a frenzy. "Your quirk was divided up evenly among your clones. Not only that! but it seems the radiation from the Lazarus cannon has tainted your quirk and poisoned it. If you go above your threshold, then Izuku Midoriya, you and your clones will Die!" She punctuated by slamming down her syringe cane as the room went deathly silent.
~*End of Flashback*~
"Alright, settle down." Called out Aizawa as he lazily walked into the classroom, to which the class stopped all their chatter and returned to their appropriate seats. Bakugo was lounging in his seat as Aizawa started with morning homeroom.
The day blitzed by the students of class 1-A. Sometimes, some of the students would look in the direction of Izuku's empty seat. Things just felt empty without him.
Lunch rolled around, and the students were at the rumor mill again; much to the dismay of three certain individuals, and of course, one blonde haired, red-eyed classmate who looked the happiest he has ever been, which was creepy in itself.
Ochako, Tsu and Tenya made their way to the lunchroom, their other classmates had already gonna ahead but when Ochako looked at her friends she could see the worry raked on their faces, though it was always hard to tell with Tsu. "Don't worry, guys. You heard Aizawa and All might, Deku will be fine." She reaffirmed them- although it was mostly for herself as she, too, was racked with worry.
A curious sight greeted the trio as they entered the lunchroom.
Kendou Itsuka of class 1-B was searching for someone as she held a bag of chocolate chip cookies, looking rather worried.
"Is something wrong, Kendou?" Tsuyu asked as she put a finger to her chin and tilted her head, curious as to why the red-headed martial artist heroine looked so distraught
"Hey Tsu," Kendou greeted "I guess you could say I've lost someone." The trio looked puzzled, unsure of what to do, so she explained. "All morning, everyone has been talking about this little kid in an All Might onesie that's been running around 'helping' people with mundane problems and treating them like they're heroic feats." Tenya, with his stiff arm movements, began to flail around "How could a parent be so negligent as to leave their child wandering the halls unsupervised?!"
"So the cookies are to catch him?" Tsu asked as she points to the bag that kendou is holding.
"Not really, these are my thank you gift." She chirped as she gave a sisterly smile to them. "I met the little guy and he helped me carry a stack of books to homeroom and was super sweet, but he ran off the moment I turned my back to fetch him these. I hope he's okay...Hey! If you see him, can you make sure to give these to him?" She asked as she placed the cookies in Ochako's hand.
"Sure! Anything we should be on the lookout for?"
"Other than his silver age All Might onesie, there really isn't much to go on...Oh! He did have big green eyes. Well, I have to go. Sounds like Monoma is picking a fight with your class again." Kendou gave them a wave and ran off to stop one of Monoma's tirades.
Bakugo stood agape, as did the rest of the class, as they walked back to class from lunch when they all saw Izuku calmly sitting in his seat, eating his favorite food. Round Face was the first to rush past the Explosion User and be at the nerd's side. Something else that caught his attention, along with the rest of the class, was the addition of three more desks in the class.
Bakugo could feel his blood boil with just how chummy and all over him Round Face(Uraraka) was. Scratch that, his blood was boiling BECAUSE he returned. So much for Bakugo's perfect day.
"Hey there Agent: Evergreen~" Mina purred as she bounced her way to Deku's desk with Uraraka in the midst of either being upset with him or being happy to see him.
Izuku looked confused by the codename "Eh? My codename isn't Evergreen." He replied innocently
"Oh don't be coy Midori~ Tooru and I figured out your secret~"
Just as she purred that out, Izuku got supremely pale. His eyes were that of sheer terror. Had she figured it out?! Who else knew?! Got to keep it together!!! "O-oooh? And w-w-what is my secret?" He squeaked out as he tried putting on a mask of indifference on before Mina rose to full height and pointed at him.
"That you're a secret government agent!" she shouted triumphantly.
The pregnant pause after that statement was palpable in the air as Mina's confidence slowly drained, until Izuku finally tilted his head and gave a Hearty "what?" With a chuckle thrown in as he was RELIEVED that it wasn't the secret he thought it was.
"Mina, that theory made no sense," Kirishima said gently as he placed a hand on her slouching shoulders.
"But I even asked Jiro to make his theme song!" Whined the acid user.
"Hey, don't feel bad Mina. I'm sure Midoriya has plenty of stories from working as a sidekick!" Sero exclaimed.
Mina went from depressed to chipper in about 1.4 milliseconds as a large excited smile flashed on her face, only for Izuku to give a confused look in return. "Haven't Uraraka and the others tell you where I was?" Izuku asked, confused, while Momo walked past the two now glum looking students.
"Well, to be honest, we were told that you were in the infirmary, but I don't think anyone here believed it. You've made some huge improvements with your quirk, so we really couldn't picture you needing to go back in there." Yaoyorozu explained, a twinge of guilt on her face as it's clear she had joined in at some point and was slightly embarrassed.
Ochako, with the grace and subtlety of a feline, held on to Deku's scarred arm, scared that he was gonna vanish if she didn't. She was on autopilot as she slowly slides her hand down to his calloused one. Her only witness was a certain pink girl, who just looked up at the moment and was silently cheering for her bubbly friend, until a certain grape headed classmate ruined the subtle moment by being jealous.
Mineta had a few veins bulging on his forehead as his eyes were intense, his lower lip being sucked into his teeth. He was gonna make the whole class turn on Midoriya. " How can you people be so easily fooled?!" He points a finger at Izuku, the statement itself made everyone turn in confusion.
"What the hell are you talking about? He's right there." deadpanned Tooru, as her uniform shirt point towards him as Ochako held a bit tighter.
"Just look at the way Uraraka is all over him, and yet not a single mark of crimson! The REAL Midoriya would have noticed this girl rubbing herself onto him!!"
The other girls turned to him, immediately pissed "Mineta that's going too far!"
"Asshole did you just make ochako out as a floozy?!"
Ochako was not having any of this. After he pointed it out, she and Izuku separated and they were blushing like mad, but she started to stomp in his direction, on her way to slap him.
She was going to reach a hand over to when the classroom door SLAMMED open as a figure rushed in and drop kicked Mineta in the head, with what sounded like steel toed boots. The grape hero launched and bounced around the class, until stopping on the far left wall, which the figure cleared the distance up in a single leap, grabbing Mineta's head and started bashing his head on the floor, repeatedly with every word. "YOU! DON'T! TALK! TO! URARAKA! LIKE! THAT! … ANYMORE!"
The figure rose up to his full height, and the entire class was stunned to silence as they watched Mineta twitch and convulse, blood leaking from his face. When he looked over his shoulder the class could see clearly that it was a much more aggressive Midoriya. They all slowly turned to the left of the class and the Midoriya THEY knew was at his desk, calmly eating as a sound of slow clapping and a long whistle sauntered into the room.
"Well, it's safe to say that's how you make an entrance! Though lacking any real style but still…A for effort Kōgeki." the next Midoriya stated as he saunters into the room, clapping.
Looking at the two currently talking, they could see the differences. The one called Kōgeki wore his uniform in a baggy like fashion; he didn't even bother with the tie and had black and red steel toe boots on his feet and an aggressive look to him, much like the expression the real Midoriya wore when fighting Todoroki.
"WASN'T LOOKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL DEKIRU!" Kōgeki roared
"Maybe not, but consider your actions around them." The one called Dekiru gestures to the rest of the class, which Kōgeki harrumphed at and leaned his frame on the podium. 'Dekiru' had an ere of suave around him. He wore some accessories with his uniform that made him look tough. but with elegance, like a couple for tribal looking bands on his left wrist and an elegantly crafted wolf-fang necklace, strung up by a semi-thick white gold chain. He wore a tight and form-fitting tank top that showed off the beef Midoriya hid underneath his clothes. He wore his uniform with the shirt open all the way and, once again, no tie. His shoes were the same style as Midoriya' classic red hi-tops, but in a more white and gold color.
"Honestly, while I would have done without the grandiose and the damn screeching, Dekiru. I guess it'll do for now. After all, we did get everyone's attention…" A third Midoriya drawled on in a tired monotonous voice as he lazily walks into the class, moving his head back as Kōgeki turns his head quickly and glares at the tired midoriya before screaming. "DON'T BE A FUCKING KILLJOY TAIDANA!!"
Taidana, (or Tai for short, as he will later be known) walked in, dragging his feet a bit. His uniform was messy and lazily thrown on, the tie tied up much like how Normal Deku would tie his, but looked like the effort only lasted halfway before he gave up. He had deep bags under his eyes, and moved slightly slower than the other two. His shoes, like the others, were of the same style of hi-tops, but in a deep dark navy blue. He scanned the class and walked over to his 'brothers', and they all started to converse with one another, which only intensified after Izuku got up and joined them.
Bakugo's mouth was agape as he watched all Four different versions of Deku chatting it up like chums. His day went from bliss to shit in a matter of seconds, and he wanted to know Why?! He got up from his desk, small explosions erupting from his hands as the attention of everyone in the class was shifted to a seething Bakugo,
"Deku…" he snarled as he got closer, Izuku saw Bakugo coming for him, and on instinct, shrunk into himself, as he was preparing to run or fight, but Kōgeki stood in between the two, glaring at the red-eyed blonde.
"MOVE ASSHOLE!" he commanded with a roar, which failed to even phase Kōgeki, whose reply was a solid hit to the solar plexus. which forced Bakugo to get on his knees before the furious clone.
"Try and make me, you damn OneNote firecracker.. or would you rather a demonstration of what REAL power looks like? Spoiler alert: It's not your sorry excuse for pyrotechnics."
The class erupted in shock as everyone on shouted "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!"
Earlier that day.
Huge. Everything so much larger from the tiny heroes perspective. A tiny hero with green, bush like hair and stunning emerald eyes dressed in a Silver Age All Might onesie.
Having escaped the lab of scary people Mighty Might Jr. (Self named) wandered the halls, looking for a way home. However, the call to action was far too great: he rescued a student's pencil case from the confines of the nefarious void. (He crawled under a desk and helped get back a pencil case that was important.) He helped another student out with emotional support, and already he was needed once more when he spotted a female student with red hair fashioned in a side ponytail
Kendou Itsuka sighed heavily. Once again, Monoma was never where she wanted him to be. If she had to hazard a guess, she would guess that Monoma was once again back in the classroom, ranting about how some of the 1-A students were apart of a huge sting operation against some Yakuza, and how they somehow were just being "fame mongers."
She had to roll her eyes every time Monoma was on his tirades about class 1-A, which, if she had to be honest, she held no ill will towards. In fact, aside from Monoma, she was sure no one else in her class did. Ever since the villain attack on the training campgrounds, class 1-B let go of their collective disgust with 1-A and replaced it with a more friendly rivalry, though Monoma never had seemed to miss the memo.
She groaned again as the stack of eight semi-thick hardcovers in both of her hands were starting to get to her. She often wished she could use her quirk while on school grounds, but she couldn't, which means she didn't see the small child that she bumped into.
"Ah!"
"Whoa!"
Startled by the loud, childlike cry, she spun around and tripped over herself, causing the books she was carrying to scatter all over the floor.
"Ah! I'm sorry, are you okay?!" A young voice called out to her as she chanced a glance at a seven-year-old, with the most caring green eyes she had ever seen, reaching out to help her up, although she felt like she had seen them before.
"Uh Y-Yeah, I'm fine." She takes his hand, and knowing this kid doesn't have the muscle mass to lift her, lets him pull her up with some sly aid on her part.
"Why are you caring so many books?" The young child asked curiously. The hood from his onesie moved with his head as he goes about and tries to pick up as many books as he could.
"My classmate decided to ditch me for one of his rants about the rival class." She stated with a tired expression as she picked up the rest of the books
"That's not nice! Then, this a job for Mighty Might!"
Kendou watched as this child was now holding, and barely standing, while holding four heavy semi-hardcover books. "Oh that's okay, I can handle th-"
"No. A hero must help out those in need! No matter how mundane!" The small hero triumphantly stated as he followed her down some corridors and back to her class. Her face flushed with embarrassment as she could feel other students around campus judging her for having a child helping her out.
Lucky for Kendou, the trip wasn't that long, and she could see that her adorable help could at least keep up. Soon, they entered into class 1-B proper and headed over to the podium where she laid the books down on. "Mighty might want to leap up and put the books on the podium?" By using her big sister charm, she got him to hand over the books without much fuss.
"Thanks, little hero. You helped a ton, unlike some people." She directed that statement at a ranting Monoma, but Mighty Might was too enthralled at being called a Hero that he didn't notice. "I think you deserve a reward." Kendou smiled and booped the little hero's nose, eliciting a giggle as she went over to her desk to fetch something.
However, a familiar roar of someone Mighty Might might have looked up to sounded close by, dread filling his body and, as if on instinct, the young child, instead of waiting for his reward, bolted far far away, leaving a very confused and worried Kendou behind.
