To the Execution stand

"Sooo…" Kirishima glanced around at all the stunned faces around him. "Are we just going to stand here staring, or is someone going to question what the heck we just heard?"

"Father?" Momo, surprisingly, was the first person who spoke up. "Did you just call this man- alien, sorry- your father?" Bakugou was silently mouthing 'what the f!#k' in the background. Jiro and Uraraka's mouths had dropped open while Tokoyami was shaking his head mumbling something about how the universe was a dark place full of mystery. Todoroki didn't look at any of them, eyes trained on the man he called his father. Shinsou and Midoriya were the calmest of the group, glancing from Todoroki to Endeavor in silence. Even Aizawa looked slightly stunned.

Endeavor spoke up, quietly at first. "…Where have you been Shoto?"

"Running away from you," Todoroki answered. "On the one planet I thought you wouldn't find me."

To their surprise, Endeavor scoffed. "You thought the planet you were born on would be the place I couldn't find you?"

"Well you didn't. Until now," He added with a frown. Endeavor said nothing.

Ironically the person who made the biggest reaction was the one who had known him for the shortest amount of time. "WHAT?" Present Mic yelled. "I thought you were human!" Both Todoroki's said nothing. Endeavor had paused his tirade from the shock of seeing his son. All who looked onto the scene could tell there was a story behind them, but no one was willing to ask for it.

After a pause Kirishima looked at Present Mic. "What? No, I knew he was an alien right away," Kirishima told him.

"I thought that Shinsou wasn't a human, but I wasn't sure about you," Aizawa admitted. "Never guessed you were Endeavor's son though…"

"Wait, Shinsou?" Jiro turned on Shinsou. "You aren't human either?"

The man shrugged helplessly. "No. Sorry. I came here because many people feared my abilities. I've been able to live a normal life here, instead of Catzawa."

"Catzawa? That's where I'm from,' Aizawa said. Shinso grinned. Jiro thought her head was going to explode.

"How are you an alien f #$r?" Bakugou asked. "You look like a weak human to me."

"I'm half human," Todoroki explained. "Because I am half human I do not need to change my form to appear human, so there are no defining marks that aliens can seek out. The only signs are my eyes, hair and scars. All of which can easily be explained both on earth and in space." The other humans in the area certainly felt like they needed more of an explanation than that. While most aliens were not stunned by his reveal as a non-human, the father reveal caught them off guard.

The new information changed quite a number of things. "Wait…half human?" Aizawa narrowed his eyes at the general who had become oddly quiet. "Endeavor…"

"My, my," A small voice interrupted the silence. "It seems we have a number of things to talk about."

All parties turned to find a small…large…rodent like creature standing next to yet another alien. The rodent creature looked like a bear, dog, and a mouse at the same time, with white fur and a scar over one eye. Next to him there was a women alien with long purple hair and alert red eyes. The aliens recognized them as Nezu, one of the emperors of a number of galaxies, and Midnight the judge. Behind them there was a horde of alien soldiers, all armed and prepared to battle. Instinctively Bakugou got to his feet while pushing Uraraka behind him while the other humans all tensed at the sight. Who did they have to fight now?

To their surprise, Nezu just raised one paw in surrender. "Now, now. There is no reason to start another fight." He let his arm fall, surveying the damage in the people around him. "It appears that there have been enough battles today already." There was a column of smoke coming from the direction Endeavor's ship must have come from. Both he, Uraraka and Bakugou were covered in dust, dirt and smaller pieces of debris. Her house was still gone, with nothing but blackened pieces of wood in its place. And not to mention the frightened humans who were all standing at alert, staring around just doing their best to try and cope with all the new information.

Yeah. They were all pretty tired.

The humans weren't sure they could take Nezu's word that the fighting was over. Despite that, no one saw it coming when Midoriya stepped forward and spoke to Nezu without fear. "If you have any issues with the citizens of this planet," Midoriya spoke up, shocking a number of them. "Then you'll have to discuss it with me. The rest of the human population is only considered to be a level 2 planet, which means you cannot make any decisions for the planet itself. I have higher authorization, so I am able to convene on the earth's behalf." Even Nezu, a being who was considered one of the most intelligent beings in the entire universe, widened his eyes in surprise.

"Uh…Midoriya?" Uraraka muttered, carefully untwining herself from Bakugou's arms. "What exactly are you talking about?"

The man she knew as her best friend turned just enough so she could see his sheepish smile. "Sorry Uraraka but…technically my job in the CIA is actually interspatial intelligence. I deal with any aliens or non-human relations on earth. A long time ago an alien soldier named All Might came and explained to me all about life outside of earth. Now my job is to deal with any alien threats, keep the knowledge of aliens down to a minimum to avoid the population learning too much and help peaceful aliens get assimilated on earth." Bakugou wanted to be offended by the idea that he was considered a 'peaceful alien.' He was also confused as to why he seemed to differentiate between alien and non-human. What else was there exactly? When he noticed Bakugou's confusion he misinterpreted. "Todoroki and I realized you were an alien right away. But when you didn't hurt anyone we decided…Not to say anything." Was…was he implying that Bakugou was in his debt? Oh HECK no.

Jiro had to shake her head, unable to deal with this new information. The shy, fumbling friend of Uraraka's was in charge of…aliens? "Midoriya communicates with aliens…Shinsou and Todoroki ARE aliens…How many aliens are there on this planet?"

While rubbing the back of his head sheepishly he muttered, "Well, Tsyuu's one…"

"TSYUU TOO?"

"Who do you think flew the green ship?" Todoroki asked, pointing in the direction it had gone. "That was the one she used to get to earth."

Others gaped at what Todoroki was acting should have been obvious. "Now I know why you never told me how the two of you met," Uraraka muttered.

Midoriya smiled sheepishly. But as soon as he turned back to Nezu all fear was gone, and for the first time for some of them, they could see how Midoriya could be in charge of something so important. His confidence and stern gaze made him look like a completely different person. "Regardless, All Might gave me the authority to discuss interrelations with other worlds if necessary." A few of the aliens gasped in surprise at the name. Midoriya seemed taken off guard at their reaction. "I-If you don't recognize his authority then,"

"We do," Nezu interrupted. The rarely surprised emperor was rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "I had always wondered what happened to the war hero and military general." Most others did not understand the implication behind Nezu's words. The war that All Might participated in had been one known throughout the galaxy. If earth was in touch with alien relations, they all would have recognized the alien name, even if he was from thousands of lightyears away. Nezu allowed the information to pass for a moment, turning instead to Endeavor with a frown. "And it appears our newest military leader has been hiding a number of things." Endeavor cursed under his breath. Todoroki narrowed his eyes, but remained just as silent.

Carefully, Momo took a few steps closer to Shoto. "So it is true Todoroki? You are an alien?"

Immediately Todoroki's gaze shifted. The hard gaze he was sending his father became one of anxiety and fear when he landed on Yaoyorozu. Instantly his attention shifted to her and he turned so that he could face her alone. "My father crash-landed here during his military training. He and my mother had a kid before he had to run off to avoid getting caught by the military, which could likely lead to both my mothers and my immediate termination. Midoriya and All Might, when he was still here, helped create a human identity for me and found ways to help me integrate properly, as well as hide from my father." The easily flustered of the group turned away when Todoroki reached out to take Yaoyorozu's hands in his own. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you Yaoyorozu."

After a pause she gave Todoroki a warm smile. "It's fine." Todoroki let out a sigh of relief.

In the background Bakugou muttered, "How come half-and-half gets forgiven so easily?"

"Because he wasn't dating her dummy!" Others inclined to ignore Bakugou's yell when Uraraka cuffed him upside the head.

"You had a relationship with a creature from a level 2 world," Midnight spoke to Endeavor. "And you had a son. You know that's illegal, right?" Endeavor scoffed, but couldn't argue. Out of curiosity, Midnight asked, "Why didn't you report it? If you had we could have simply erased the memory of the human and cleared this mess."

Again, Endeavor scowled indignantly. "That was never an option." Most believed he said that because it would damage his career and he would never be allowed to be a general. Shoto on the other hand new that if Endeavor had reported his crimes to get the easy sentence, he may have gotten off easy. However His mother would be left with years of her life missing and a son whom she had no idea where he came from. And Todoroki certainly would have had no idea what to do with his life.

Endeavor never claimed to be a good father. But Todoroki had to admit he at least tried to do what he could to keep both he and his mother alive. There was no guarantee they would allow Todoroki's existence to continue if the court found out about him, or his mother for that matter. If nothing else, Todoroki owed him that. So with that in mind, and the fact that he wanted to stay as far away from his father as he could, he never sought out his paternal heritage and instead stayed happily on earth. Eventually he and Midoriya met, exchanged information and often worked together in dealing with alien affairs. His father was a man who cared for few and often never showed mercy. However, he at least had the decency to keep his son and lover alive, despite the danger their existence brought him.

Shoto could thank his father for that. But not much else.

Midnight seemed curious about the situation as he observed the two men. However any chance she had for getting more answers was whisked away. "We can deal with this matter later," Nezu decided, waving the questions away. Endeavor looked like he wanted to protest, but kept his mouth shut. "For now, lord explosion murder needs to be brought in. Aizawa, you and your team did delay his capture for longer than was necessary. And it appears that one of your members also broke the law in have a relationship with a human. All of you will need to be tried-"

"Bakugou."

"I…" Nezu turned to Bakugou, perplexed. "Excuse me?"

"It's Bakugou. Katsuki Bakugou is my name." He stated with finality. "And like hell I'm gonna let you take me off this planet. I'm staying here, whether you like it or not." Endeavor immediately scowled, hand going for his laser as he prepared for another battle. Midnight and Nezu on the other hand glanced at each other with curious gazes. Staying? They thought he was going to try to conquer as many planets as possible. Yet he was suggesting staying on earth?

"Bakugou, what's" Uraraka finally managed to stand. She stared down at Bakugou, a million conflicting emotions running through her head. "…Are you leaving?" Was she happy? He'd ruined her house. Her parents' house, the one thing that meant so much to her. The thing she'd worked years to keep around. Now that person who did it, the one who she had said she hadn't wanted to see again…Was leaving.

The emotions she was feeling…shouldn't be as complicated as they were.

Emotions were never Bakugou's strong suit. He couldn't read the emotions going on in her head any more than she could. All he could sense was a layer of fear. Was she still angry at him? Did she still want him to leave, so she would never see his face again? He'd gotten her to trust him enough to get her out of the ship, but how long did that last?

Maybe Bakugou's time was really up.

Fine, he thought to himself. But he wasn't leaving it as it was. He startled the others when he jumped to his feet, and grabbed Uraraka's shoulders so she had no choice but to listen. "You wanted to know everything? Here it is. My name is lord explosion murder. I was born on the planet Bakugou and was raised on the planet Katsuki. When I was five a crazy scientist killed my parents and kidnapped me in order to genetically enhance my body to make me into a killing machine. The rest of my life he trained me to kill and conquer whole worlds at a time. But when I was older I thought he was pathetic to only want to take over one solar system so I killed him. Before I could leave the intergalactic military found me, including an alien named Aizawa. He was the first guy to show me any sense of decency in my adult life." Aizawa's eyes widened at his words. Not only did Bakugou recognize it as kindness…but he was actually acknowledging it in front of him.

"The government- these guys," he waved to Nezu, Midnight and Endeavor, "wanted me dead so I didn't kill anyone and I escaped. I crash-landed here, breaking apart that building that you rescued me from. My plan was to get intelligence on this world in order to leave it or conquer it. This was going to be the first world in a long line of many.

But while undercover, you were…so f ($*$g different." Bakugou shook his head, almost cursing out of frustration. "You were scared but spoke up. When you yelled at me you didn't attack me and when you were nice you didn't try to use me. I helped you because I wanted to, not because you made me. I don't know if that's how the real world actually works, but I liked it. And I liked your stupidly bright smile and the way you would laugh and how you could pin a guy down within five seconds. It was different. It was cool. And it showed me that I didn't have just one path to follow.

Even though I hate to admit it," Bakugou added with a grumble. "The other humans were like that. I just thought you were broken for a while, some kind of oddity. But they helped me to. Even when that short-haired one got angry she never spoke down to me or tried to attack me. It was all different and new and I really f (#&%&g like it. But if you hadn't taken me into your house, I never would have seen it.

So if I've got to leave here now then…thanks for…being the hero that helped me see there was more than all that. I don't know what the f#(k you did, or if you even did anything. But I like who I am here with you."

If Bakugou had the choice, he would have told her all this in private. If he knew he had more time and wasn't about to possibly fight for his right to live and stay on earth, he would have waited and told her alone, not when there was a crowd of people around them. But unfortunately, time was not on his side and he knew he had to speak up before he didn't have the chance again. He refused to look at the other humans however, eyes trained on Uraraka and her alone. Her eyes had widened to the size of dinner plates and her mouth had dropped open so far that a bid could have flown right in there. Bakugou, unfortunately, had no idea if this was a good sign or not. And considering how much it hurt when she rejected him, he really was hoping things wouldn't have to end that way.

"…and I've got a f ($*%g tail," he added, hoping it sounded cool. Aizawa shook his head.

Thankfully the boasting was so in character for Bakugou that Uraraka was able to calm down a little bit. She tried to soak in all that he said and carefully analyze everything before responding. She wanted to be mad. She wanted to be so, so mad at him. It was her parents' house. It was he who lied to her about everything…

But she couldn't find it in her heart to be mad anymore.

"I…I'm still kind of in shock by all this…That and the fact that this is the first time you've ever spoken that much at once." Bakugou grunted, but couldn't argue. "I…I'm really not thrilled that you lied to me for so long. But I mean…I do still really like you. If you're willing to then I'd be okay to…try all of this again. I'll miss the house but...I'd rather have you alive than an old building." Bakugou waited, but Uraraka smiled as if she was done.

He scowled. "What's that mean?"

Uraraka rolled her eyes. "It means I forgive you, dummy."

Bakugou blinked. "Oh." He stopped to process the new information. Then, a smirk traced his lips. "Cool. So we're lovers again, right?"

"Not that quickly! I-I mean," Bakugou tilted his head to the side, looking confused and annoyed at the same time. "…We can work it out," she assured him with a sigh and small smile. Bakugou grinned right back at her.

"Really?" Todoroki asked skeptically at the side. "He just admitted his body was built to destroy."

While Jiro was looking quite skeptical as well, she did shrug on Uraraka's behalf. "Technically so was Edward Scissorhands yet everyone thinks he's hot."

"What makes you think you're staying here to do that, monster?" All eyes turned back to Endeavor. He was enraged, probably feeling more empowered not that the attention was off his own scandal. And he probably wanted to keep it away from that. "You are still a dangerous criminal. For the safety of the universe you must be brought in."

Immediately Bakugou was back in defense mode. When Endeavor reached for his weapon Bakugou crouched and his arms stated heating in preparation. "Like I'll even give you the chance to try motherf-"

"Now hold on," Nezu interrupted, silencing them both. "We've all done enough fighting, haven't we? Besides, as I recall from the reports, Midnight was never able to make her final judgement as to whether Bakugou should be executed or not." All eyes turned to Midnight, some confused but most hopeful.

Was that really true? Their judges had the opportunity to overshadow the jury's votes if they deemed it necessary. But hadn't Midnight already decided. "I gave the opportunity for both Aizawa and Endeavor to present the case," Midnight explained. "Either that Bakugou could be reformed and return to regular society or executed for his danger to society."

"I believe his involvement on this planet has already proven that he is a destroyer," Endeavor cut in. "Have you seen all the damage he has caused? The destruction of a number of human developments. My ship!" It seemed that Midnight did pause to consider this. The fact that they had landed so close to Uraraka's former house probably wasn't helping.

"Has anyone died?" She asked.

"No ma'am," Aizawa stated, ignoring Endeavor's glare.

Midnight took that into account. Turning in Bakugou's direction, she silently studied the man in question. "I may not know much about Bakugou, but he certainly has shown to be different than when I first saw him." After a pause she questioned, "He…wasn't able to talk before, was he?"

"I learned," he stated.

She tilted her head. "How to speak?"

"Is it supposed to be hard?"

"…The point is that Aizawa's beliefs have been proven to be right," Midnight explained. "When we had you in our custody, the idea was that you were dangerous and your only goal was to conquer. From the footage Aizawa sent us it showed that not only can you function in a normal society without costing the lives of others, but you also used your abilities to save someone instead of kill them." Bakugou wondered what they would say when they found out he had continued breaking and stealing items from others, but decided it wasn't the time to ask. "As far as I am concerned, since he was proved right, Aizawa ought to be given the chance to decide your fate." Those who understood the situation all sighed in relief.

Well, most of them. "What?" Endeavor shouted. "But he is still dangerous! You think I'm letting this killer remain on the planet my son is?" Todoroki scowled at him, but said nothing.

"True. But as long as he stays within the control of a trusted authority, then what is the harm?" Aizawa tried not to look smug when he turned to Midnight and Nezu. "Perhaps he could be an asset to the universe instead of a villain."

"Do you suggest he be brought back with us to train as a soldier?" Nezu questioned.

"I ain't leaving this f!#($*#g planet you s ($)*( s! Not unless she comes with me!" After a pause he turned to Uraraka. "Do you want to see other planets?"

"N-not right now, no."

"I'm f ()$*)%*g staying here!"

"I meant," Aizawa continued, sounding exasperated. "Is that it is quite clear that there are a number of humans and aliens on this planet. Perhaps, with the interspatial alliance, we can figure out a way to create an intergalactic base here, in order to communicate with those aliens and a few select earthlings until the entire planet has evolved from a level 2 to 3." He glanced over at Midoriya, asking his permission silently.

"I'm sure we can work something out," Midoriya said with a smile.

At the side Bakugou grew even more confused as the wheels in his head started spinning. "Does this mean…if I stay here…is deku in charge of…"

Uraraka quickly grabbed his hand to distract him before he could come to any conclusions. "S-sh! We'll deal with it later!"

"Do you volunteer to stay here and oversee the project Aizawa?" Nezu asked to confirm.

Without a moment's hesitation Aizawa nodded. "Yes, of course. I'm sure Present Mic and Kirishima would like to stay as well."

"Er…" Present Mic tugged at his collar. "Well…"

"YES!" In a second Jiro went from standing at Momo's side to being wrapped in Kirishima's arms. "I'll stay! Jiro, I'm going to take you to mars and Neptune, then I'm gonna take you to my planet…" Jiro tuned such a bright shade of red Nezu and Midnight both began wondering if she was an alien as well. It was also clear to them that Endeavor had not been the only one to break a particular rule.

"An alien site on earth…" Endeavor scowled. "And with humans taking part? Emperor Nezu, that is extremely dangerous." Bakugou scowled at him, ready for another fight even when Uraraka tried to hold him back. Aizawa glanced at his son, wondering of Todoroki truly had his own reasons to fear Bakugou's survival. "You think the rest of the court will allow it? Will allow this creature to live on, knowing that he is not only capable of destroying planets but taking advantage of a human while he's at it. And the fact that one of the soldiers is doing the same thing…"

"Nezu and Midnight here may keep it quiet," Todoroki interrupted. "But if you don't let Bakugou and Kirishima off for this, I will make sure everyone in all of space knows about my existence. How will you continue on being the general if that happens?" Endeavor was shocked at Todoroki's interruption. He was trying to keep him safe yet HE was the one arguing with HIM? Endeavor tried to object again, but Todoroki stood forward. There were very few times Todoroki had stood up to his father. He could count the number of times on his hand. Endeavor hesitated, something many were surprised to see. He didn't want the creature to live, much less on his son's planet.

But his own son was telling him to back off. If he truly found no issue with the situation…Endeavor stepped back and kept his mouth shut. Todoroki decided he had another reason to appreciate his father.

His interruption however had brought them back to the previous argument involving Endeavor. While Endeavor was a general and could likely sneak out of the situation if Nezu and Midnight said nothing, the others did not have his rank. "You realize if it's illegal to be in a relationship with humans…" Nezu told both Kirishima and Bakugou. "You both are breaking the law." Midoriya decided not to mention that he was in a relationship with an alien as well. Best to keep that to themselves.

"Er…I'm sure it'll work out," Kirishima assured him with a sheepish smile.

"Does it really look like I care?" Bakugou scoffed. "I'm already a criminal." Nezu frowned. It was one thing letting off a general who was trying to keep his son alive, but an amateur soldier and one who was already a criminal? That would be hard to justify in his mind of few emotions and all logic.

"Perhaps we can find a way to make an exception," Nezu assured them after some thought. "The law was made so that people would not take advantage of species who did not understand the existence of aliens. But it appears these humans are able to cope with the information quite well."

"So does that mean…Bakugou's let off?" Uraraka gathered her courage to step towards Nezu. "And he's okay to stay here with me?" There was a pause as Nezu considered the situation. He had been called in to bring back and execute a potential killing machine. Now he was debating whether to create a new base on a level 2 planet, let off three aliens for having relationships with humans as well as giving said killing machine a free pass.

…Not his best day. But most certainly not his worst.

"If Midnight feels it appropriate," he concluded. "After all, she is the judge."

All eyes turned to the women in question. She paused for what could clearly be seen as dramatic effect before giving an answer that made all of them sigh in relief. "I certainly hope that you are able to handle him, human. Because he is going to be in your hands for a while."

With a grin, Bakugou reached out and wrapped one arm around Uraraka again. "Trust me, she's strong enough."

…

Nezu, Midnight, Present Mic, Aizawa, Endeavor and their soldiers all left without much fuss. Present Mic and Aizawa decided to go back temporarily to help make arrangements for the new base. Midnight certainly had a lot of work to do explaining this to the council, and Nezu would have to figure out how exactly their relationship with earth was going to work now. Endeavor and Todoroki had gone off for a moment to talk. Anyone could see it was clear that the two of them did not get along. But when they came back, Todoroki seemed much calmer than he had been when they left.

As he got on the ship, Endeavor glared at Bakugou. "Don't think this is the end. We'll be watching you, monster. If you take one step out of line, you will be sorry."

It was meant to be a threat. However all he got in the end was Bakugou smirking right back at him. "I'd like to you try, f #(%()e." Endeavor scowled at him. Before leaving, he glanced back to his son.

For a moment it looked like his gaze softened. "…Take care of yourself Shoto."

His son turned away with a scowl on his face. "Whatever." Endeavor gave no effort to continue.

Aizawa waited until Endeavor was back on the ship before turning to the others. "Midoriya, I look forward to working with you in the future. I'll try and return in a weeks' time so we can work on the details behind this new base." Midoriya nodded, practically beaming at the idea. As he turned away, he paused before going up the steps. "…And Bakugou?" The man glared up at him. Aizawa's face showed the smallest sign of a prideful smile.

"Good job."

The ship blasted off and soared through the air in a matter of moments. Shinsou and Tokoyami stared at the sky as it left, one utterly calm and finally coming to the conclusion that his life was a mess and he would just have to deal with it. Momo had moved to Shoto's side nervously hoping to support him. She had been shocked when Todoroki had wordlessly taken her hand in his. Midoriya went off almost immediately to call Tsyuu and make sure he was okay before having to make a number of calls to higher authorities. Jiro had taken the spot next to a beaming Kirishima while Bakugou had one arm wrapped around Uraraka who smiled contentedly.

As if to break the mood, Kirishima spoke up. "…So, uh…where is Bakugou and Uraraka going to live now?"

Yeah, Endeavor's not my favourite character…but it really does look like he's trying to change in the manga. I'll give him some credit for that. There will be one quick chapter after to just tie lose ends up.
