Momo Yaoyorozu had an odd relationship with her parents. She knew that they loved her very much but she barely interacts with them. The reason why is because both of them work overseas- as pro heroes. Momo never really thought of the pro hero scene outside of her home country of Japan, the fact that other countries have their own heroes and agencies that are dedicated to helping people never really occurred to her. Even though Momo's parents were incredibly wealthy (mostly because her mother came from a very influential dynasty) they still put their lives on the line everyday to help people in need. Whenever she asked why her father always replied "I had a tough life and I want to make the future better for as many people as I can!" and her mother would always say "I was born with so many privileges, what kind of person would I be if I didn't use my gifts to help people in need."
Her mother was the previous heiress to the family fortune (a legacy so important that her father had to change his last name when they got married. Riza Yaoyorozu, her quirk let's her have perfect accuracy with…just about anything. Whether it be a baseball, a dart, or bullets fired from a gun. She can take out legions of villains from afar with her skills. Her prowess in long range combat led to her being christened "Hawkeye", a hero name that she readily accepted.
Yaoyorozu inherited most of her features from her father, Roy. She shared the same eye and hair color as him but also inherited a variation of his quirk. His quirk was known as "alchemy" and it worked differently than hers. Although the both of them needed to know the chemical compositions of the things they wanted to make, her father couldn't make anything out of his body and needs to have some materials with him. That isn't always a detriment to him though, he could instantly transmutate a wall out of the ground for protection for instance. Due to the complexity of his quirk, Momo's father worked and studied endless hours to learn the in's and out's of his power. He figured out that he could do more than transmuting his surroundings. With the right chemicals her father could instantly incinerate anything he wanted to by manipulating the oxygen in the air. He wears custom gloves to start the first spark and those gloves became the most iconic part of his hero costume. Everyone in America knew about the "Incineration Hero- Mustang"
Normally she would treasure the moments where her parents came back home to spend time with her but today she was dreading having to tell them the events that transpired. What was she going to say "It's good to see you mother and father, by the well I may have been expelled from the prestigious school I was attending!" how would they feel when that's the first thing their daughter says after flying all the way from America?
Their meeting did not go how Momo thought it would. For one thing the first thing they did was engulf her in a tight hug while asking her if she was alright. They had received a call from the school detailing what happened to her and then another call from her former homeroom teacher explaining how she and her friends were not wanted by every school in the country and Shiketsu was the only one offering a place for all five of the expelled students.
"So...that kid you saved...was he a friend?"
"Far from it father, he was more of a delinquent if I were to be honest."
Her mother responded "but you still saved him. That's good to hear. There is going to be a lot of civilians who are unpleasant and some are just downright hateful to the people who saved them. Your father actually got sued by several people he saved from a villain attack because he singed their clothes with his flame."
"Is that true father?"
Roy grunted while remembering that incident "Damn right it's true! I just saved that guy's life and he sued me to get a quick pay-day! The nerve of some people…" it was times like these when Momo was reminded that her father didn't grow up in the lap of luxury like her and her mother. His vocabulary often became rather colourful when he got agitated.
Riza butted in "-the point is that your father saved the man's life even when he was difficult. The mark of a true hero is to save even the most ungrateful civilians. After all, who are we to judge who deserves to be saved or not?"
Momo sighed at her mother's attempts at being reassuring "But still, I and four other students got expelled for blatantly disregarding the rules! I've brought shame onto the Yaoyorozu family name, does that not concern you?"
Unexpectedly, her mother chuckled wistfully "I remember the first time I brought shame on the family name. It was when I dared to fall in love with someone who wasn't on the same social standing as me. If I followed the rules set for me then we would never have had you, Momo. I'm not saying to be an anarchist but it's sometimes better to follow your principles."
Her mother stepped up to speak to her now. "Momo, I'm proud of you for what you did. Who knows what might have happened to that kid if it weren't for all of you kids. I wish I had the guts to do what you did…" Roy took a look at Riza, who nodded her head as if he was silently asking her permission to tell the story and she granted it.
"What are you talking about father?"
A melancholic sigh escaped her father's lips "do you remember that one time me and your mom came back home for month?"
"Yes, I was eight years old. You said that the both of you accumulated a lot of vacation days and you wanted to spend some time with me, right?"
"Well that not entirely true...we never told you why we took that leave because we figured that a kid shouldn't hear about such horrors…"
"I don't understand what you saying…"
"When we were in America, your mother and I worked in separately. I was a close range fighter and she was a long range one, so it made sense. I was frequently partnered with a hero named "Fuze" his real name was Shou Tucker and his quirk was "bonding" he could bond anything with anything. Depending on how much he concentrated and how much stamina he put into it, the bonds became stronger. Now usually he would quickly bond criminals to heavy objects or the floor in like a second and anyone could just smash them out with a hammer. But Shou...he was always amazed at what I could do with my quirk and always wanted to go above and beyond with his own…"
"I'm not really following…"
"He started getting obsessed with his research, he kept performing experiments with lab animals to see just how thorough he could make his fusions. I informed the authorities and the agency we worked for and they told me that all of his experiments were sanctioned. They also forbade me from sneaking around his research. I should have disobeyed those orders."
Her father's breath hitched, Momo became anxious. Her father was always a loud, boisterous, and confident man so seeing him be so shook was actually quite unnerving. He continued with his story "the cops found him a week later, ranting and raving about how he perfected his quirk and that he was as good as Mustang. They also found his sick and twisted creation- he fused his five year old daughter and her pet dog down to the genetic level, creating a an abhorrent monstrosity that died of organ failure hours later. Tucker was put in a maximum security prison for life afterwards"
His words hit Momo like a kick to the gut. She felt like she needed to vomit after hearing about the man her father used to work with. She started hyperventilating in panic, something she thought she stopped doing when she was a young girl. This entire conversation was supposed to be about her being expelled from her school and now she was learning about a mad man forcibly mutating his daughter!
Her mother spoke up to try to quell her fear. "After your father told me what happened we both decided to take a leave of absence. Luckily for us, the agencies we worked for understood why wanted to leave. A lot of pros who worked with your father were traumatized about what happened. We wanted to spend as much time with you as possible. We sometimes forget about how much you really mean to us since you were always a smart, mature, and responsible child. Every nanny, babysitter, or servant that worked for us always told us that you were nothing short of amazing, We wanted to truly get to know the wonderful daughter that everyone brags about. That's why we made it a point to fly back to Japan every once in a while after that stuff with Tucker transpired."
An uneasy chuckle escaped Momo's through "Wow, that really means a lot to me…"
Her father spoke again, his trademark confidence seemed to return "I'm so happy that you did what was right and not what you were ordered to do. I wish I could have done the same thing all those years ago. You're friends deserve some congratulations too, if you put any stock into your old man's opinion I feel like you should all go to Shiketsu together. After an experience like that, there's no way you all didn't bond together."
"I agree with your father. I think all of you sticking together will help you all go through the transition much more smoothly. Who are the other expelled kids, anyway?"
"The other students who are expelled are Izuku Midoriya, Ejirou Kirishima, Tenya Iida, Midoriya Izuku, and-" Momo hesitated before whispering under her breath "Shouto Todoroki"
Her father raised a single eyebrow in fascination "Isn't Todoroki that kid you have a crush on? If he joined up with all of you that means he's a great guy! And he has fire powers, fire powers are always cool!"
Momo covered her now crimson face with her hands while a muffled request of "please stop it father.." her mother eventually got Roy to stop teasing her "but seriously Momo, all of you should stick together"
"Then it's settled, I shall go to Shiketsu and I will try to convince everyone else to join me so we could all be united against the harrowing future."
Just before she left the room to call the other students her dad made another suggestions "Hey since you're going to another school, can you mix up your outfit? I mean I understand you need to be exposed to use your quirk but it's a bit uncomfortable seeing you in an outfit with a tiny miniskirt…"
Riza fired back at her husband "That's funny to hear coming from you. Didn't you say that once you become a big name hero you're going to make every one of your female sidekicks wear tiny miniskirts?"
"That was way back then Riza, I was an idiot before! We barely even knew each other!"
Momo quickly left the room as her mother whipped her father.

Iida walked home with an enormous sense of lethargy in his steps. He had warned his peers about the dangers of undergoing such a risky rescue mission and yet somehow he found himself joining them. This wasn't the first time he broke the rules and regulations that he righteously upheld. He had gone on a quest for vengeance against the man who crippled his brother and almost died because of it. It was only through the timely intervention of Todoroki and Midoriya that he lived to see the next day. It was quite hypocritical that he was against the idea of saving Bakugou since he let his emotions drive him before, maybe that's why against his better judgement he joined the other four students on their quest, he owed his life to Midoriya and Todoroki and to him, that was worth whatever punishment he received. That's why he assured the rest of his fellow expelled students that they did not need to apologize to him despite the fact that he was against the idea to save Bakugou.
Still...it was going to be difficult to explain to his parents that he just tarnished the Ingenium family name.
Iida stood in front of his door for what seemed to be an eternity, he had no idea what to say to his parents. He hadn't thought about what school he was planning on transferring to (although his former homeroom teacher recommended Shiketsu, he didn't know if that was the right choice for him) and he certainly hadn't thought of a way of breaking the news to his parents. Still, Iida knew he couldn't just stand outside his house forever and he slowly opened the door.
"Yo lil' bro, we heard what you did. That's freaking' crazy!"
"Your former school informed us of what you did. I must say, I'm surprised that you're such a maverick…" his dad was calmly drinking tea as he said those words.
"The entire group who performed such an act must be anxious about your future. Every major station on the news is either talking about your daring feat or All Might's final battle." his mother interjected.
Tenya was flabbergasted at just how casual they were discussing the events that had just inspired. Sure, they were all former heroes and they were used to such harrowing events but Iida assumed that they would at least be a tad bit more perturbed about this.
"Mother...Father...are you not concerned about the irreparable damage I did to our family name? I was expelled from The most prestigious school of the east due to my actions!" He then turned towards his brother "Tensei...I am sorry that I have destroyed the good will you built and that I have insulted everything you stood for…"
"The hell you talking about, Tenya? You saved your classmate's life when you were told you couldn't do anything! That's sounds pretty heroic to me!"
His father continued the praise "We were always worried that your chronic tunnel vision would make you lose your way my son. But it turns out that our fears were unfounded. If your school decided to punish you for displaying true chivalry and honour than so be it!""
His mother spoke up, trying to make sense out of UA's decision "I assume that all of you were expelled to set an example, but it backfired immensely. UA already had a lot criticism thrust upon on do to the various villain attacks and now there is a backlash due to your expulsion. All around me, I am seeing protests both online and offline vilifying the school."
Tenya raised an eyebrow in interest "what do you mean, mother?"
"You mean you haven't about the public's support for you all? I know you're kind of a square bro, but look all over social media and you will see people all over Japan slander your old school." Tensei showed his little brother what exactly was trending on the internet and the the top two on the trending lists were "#thankyouAllMight" and "#FreetheUAFive". Tenya was shocked that the word of their mission spread around so quickly.
"Do these people not know that we broke so many laws and regulations saving Bakugou?"
His father chuckled at his disbelief "You think the public cares about all that crap? They see someone acting heroic and they give them all the praises. Witnessing five teenagers put everything on the line to save their peer is the type of crazy, feel good stuff you see in movies. Everyone wants to know where all end up. The Shiketsu High Administration knows this and that's why they offered all of you a chance to attend the school. Shiketsu and UA have a sort of rivalry and your former school just gave them a golden opportunity for good publicity…"
"Are you saying that I should attend Shiketsu?"
"We're saying that Shiketsu is the only school that is offering all of you a place. It would be wise to stick to people who you went through so much with…"
"Very well...I will talk to the others and see what schools they would like to go to."
Tenya went to his room to think about the conversation that had just transpired when he heard a knocking on his door. "Come in"
"Bet you thought that our folks would get mad at you for being expelled, eh?"
"Oh, hello Tensei. Yes...I did assume mother and father would be furious…"
"Our grandfather started the Ingenium lineage after being inspired by medieval knights. Warriors who valued their code of honour above any law of the land. Gramps wanted to emulate such heroes. Everyone in our family is a bit more lenient of not following the rules if it leads to you doing the right thing. Hell, between you and me- I actually employed a vigilante that I took a liking to in the past. You've met one of my employees- Sonic Soar, right?"
"Yes, of course."
"Well, he wasn't always a licensed hero. Back then he was a vigilante and called himself the Crawler. I knew about his activities and let him help because I knew his heart was in the right place. Eventually his worked to get his hero license and started working for me. What I'm saying is that the road to being a hero is a lot more complicated than you think...You never know what might happen bro. I gotta leave, Fuyumi's probably home by now after talking to your friend...Take care."
"Farewell" After his older brother left, Iida lay in bed to think about his apparent tunnel vision. His father was right. Midoriya saved Uraraka when he was doing what he was told and ran away. His single-minded devotion in slaying Stain almost cost him his life as well. But he managed to catch on and do what was right and not what was lawful when he joined with the others to save Bakugou.
Maybe there was hope for him after all.

Kirishima felt like garbage. He was so adamant on saving his former best friend that he somehow roped four of his classmate into his quest. Sure, they all said that they wanted to save Bakugou as much as he did but Kirishima knew that they said those re-assurances as to not make him feel bad. All of them were among the top of the class and all of them were expelled because of him.
He had officially ended his friendship with his former best friend Bakugou. A lot of his former classmates thought it was due to Bakugou's ungratefulness at being rescued but that wasn't it. That was just Bakugou being an idiot, the blonde's rant was the last straw however. Kirishima is a good friend with Midoriya's girlfriend- Mina Ashido and when the pink girl suddenly developed a distaste of the explosive blonde he had to ask her why.
What she said what Bakugou put Midoriya through in the past made him sick to his stomach. She told him every detail of the shit Bakugou had done to Midoriya for absolutely no reason. Midoriya didn't have a quirk until the end of middle school and Bakugou had taunted and bullied him because of that fact constantly. Mina even told him that at one point he even told Midoriya to fucking kill himself! Who the hell does that?!"
The worst part is that apparently, Midoriya and Bakugou were once childhood friends! What the hell happened between the two of them that Bakugou felt that it was alright to relentlessly bullet Midoriya?! Kirishima knew that Midoriya would never do anything to warrant such a backlash (the dude destroyed his body for Todoroki's sake at the sports festival) so whatever happened it was surely Bakugou's fault.
Ever since Mina told him all that shit, he had been more wary about Bakugou. He assumed that the blonde was just a hot head but that sort of shit you pull on someone is sociopath levels. He hated to admit but one of the reasons why he was so adamant about saving Bakugou was because he thought he would take the league's offer and become of of their members. Fortunately, bakugou vehemently denied their offers and was steadfast in his desire to become a hero.
That did little to change Kirishima's newfound opinion on the dude. He hated bullies ever since he could remember. Always picking on people weaker than them. He remembered when he ridiculed for his sharp teeth, Mina was made fun of because of her pink skin and horns too but she somehow turned out out to be one of the most popular people in their old school. Most recently he had discovered that Tsuyu was mocked for her amphibious appearance. That made him seeth with with anger, Tsuyu was a cool gal and if you were too ask Kirishima, she was really pretty in an unconventional way!
But bullying someone because he was born without a quirk? Might as well fuck with a paraplegic! Quirkless people already had enough to deal with, what's the point of bullying them? The only reason why he never confronted bakugou over his past actions was because Mina made him swear that he wouldn't tell anyone because Midoriya doesn't want to cause any unnecessary drama. He didn't know how Midoriya never confronted him over his abuse, the guy was meek but he's shown that he could kick ass when he wants to.
'Eijirou honey, you're all over the internet!"
That was not the first thing he expected his grandma to say when he came home. "Uh...Granny...did you get a call from my school?"
"Oh yeah, you're mission to rescue your best friend was apparently too manly for them. Every program that wasn't talking about All Might's amazing final battle is talking about how brave all of you kids are! It reminds me of my youth where heroes fought for justice and not because it paid well."
Kirishima sometimes forgot that his grandmother was from a different and time and she had different values than most people. She always showed a distaste for the "young whippersnappers" that were famous today. Legends like Crimson Riot were the heroes of her day.
"You know I got expelled right?"
"Not just you, but four other other true heroes got expelled too! Just because you kids prioritized saving a life than following the rules. I'm telling you Eji, bureaucrats ruin everything!"
"Uh..thanks Granny…?"
"I bet that friend you always strive to impress is pretty proud of you! Bakugou's his name right? Nothing is more impressive than saving a life!"
Kirishima cringed "Yeah...I don't think I could be friends with him anymore…"
"Why not? You two seemed pretty close."
"It's just that...Well, apparently he wasn't the guy I thought he was...I wish I could say more but I promised someone else I would keep it between us."
His grandmother sighed "I'm not gonna press you with the details but it must be hard finding out whatever you found out about Bakugou."
"Yeah, he was my best friend"
"I wouldn't worry about it too much, Eji. I think you're going to bond with the four other heroes who are going to Shiketsu with you!"
"You want me to go to Shiketsu?!"
"Of course! That's the only school that wants all of you kids and it's about as good as UA. I think the monkeys they have running Shiketsu are smarter because they recognize your values…"
"But Granny, that school's like, across the country. I don't wanna leave you all alone! Abandoning family is super un-manly"
"First of all- I'm old not senile. I could take care of myself and second of all- we live in a tight knit little neighborhood. Mrs. Tanahashi helped me raise you and practically part of her family as well. I'm sure they can spare some time to help an old woman some company."
As if on cue, a knock on the door to Kirishima household was heard. It was Mrs. Tanahashi, alongside her young children, Hiroshi and Kaoru. "Eijirou! We heard what happened on the news, are you alright?"
"Me? I'm fine. In fact, everyone who was with me are alright."
"That's good to hear. We also know about your school status...Do you know what school you will attending?"
Before Kirishima could answer, his grandmother yelled out "He'll be attending Shiketsu so he could stay close to the other kids who went on his journey!"
"Is that true, Eijirou? If that's the case you shouldn't worry about your grandmother. We will take care of her in her absence!"
Kirishima did not expect his talk with his grandmother regarding his expulsion would be so lighthearted.

"I've never seen you do anything so reckless, Shouto! What were you thinking?"
Todoroki took a moment to process what was happening before answering "Where the hell is dad?"
Fuyumi facepalmed and groaned in frustration. Her little brother completely dodged her question entirely! "He's doing a press conference since he's now the number one hero."
Shouto's clenched his fist in anger when he heard those words. His dear old dad didn't deserve the accolade of number one hero. It should still be All Might but like it or not, his time was over. Internally, Todoroki knew that his father wasn't happy about his promotion to number one either. The man spent his entire life trying to surpass All Might and did some sick eugenics bullshit to carve out a successor that could topple his rival but all of it was for nought. Maybe it finally dawned on his father that he was a terrible human being? Shouto didn't care either way.
"I knew what I was doing out there, Fuyumi. We all knew what we were doing. If you want to lecture me about all the laws we broke, you wouldn't be the first. I accept any and all consequences for my actions."
His sister sighed "Normally I would lecture you Shouto...but Tensei and I had a little talk before you came home. He told me what his family believes a hero should be and it made me think. I may have not seen it until recently, but you've grown a lot haven't you?"
Shouto let out an honest smile "I have my friends to thank for that…"
Fuyumi couldn't help but feel happy for her brother. Shouto lived a hard life and the transformation she witnessed him undergoe fascinated her. It all started during the sports festival where he used his fire voluntarily for the first time. Afterwards, he decided to visit mom in the hospital. Fuyumi knew all the emotional baggage her little brother involving mom's stay in the hospital and honestly thought he would never try to reconnect with her. Something changed in his life...she knew it was because of his classmates, namely that Midoriya kid. Somehow that boy got Shouto to open up and attempt to move past his past. Ever since then, Fuyumi noticed that shouto started hanging out with other classmates, and not just Midoriya. For instance she once saw him come with with Midoriya, Ingenium's younger brother (and the probable new bearer of the name ever since the Hero Killer's attack), and the heiress of Yaoyorozu dynasty. Maybe it's just her hopeful feelings but she could have sworn she saw some chemistry between Shouto and the Yaoyorozu girl.
"You have any idea on what school you want to go to?"
"Aizawa recommended Shiketsu high for all of us…"
"Isn't that the guy who forced you to get expelled? Why would he care?"
"Aizawa is a complicated guy. He still wants us to succeed but he also wanted us to know that there is consequences for our actions."
"Shiketsu is the only school that offered to take in everyone who got expelled-"
"Then I'm going to Shiketsu. Staying with my friends is my number on priority. I don't know where I would be without Midoriya, Iida, and Yaoyorozu...Also, Kirishima is nice too I guess"
"Wow...you really care about them, don't you? They've been a good influence on you."
"Yeah...I guess they have…"
0000
All Might was sitting in his living room and talking to his mother. Years ago, Izuku Midoriya might have thought that would be the coolest thing ever but right now he could feel the tension thick in the room.
His mother loved him and did her best to protect and support her quirkless son throughout his childhood. It was tough though...ever since her husband left Izuku knew that his mother was barely keeping it together. She felt like it was her fault that her son was quirkless, it was a completely ridiculous notion, of course but she still let the guilt wash over her. Things changed considerably in the last year or so. He "activated his dormant quirk" and got accepted to his dream school. He also made a lot of good friends got a girlfriend! His mother felt some of the weight that crushed her lift.
Things couldn't stay cool forever though. She witnessed her son break his limbs everytime he fought, saw the pain in his eyes and his shattered limbs flail wildly. That didn't even take account all the times he almost died without using his quirk. Her son was attacked in broad daylight by a member of the League of Villains, then he encountered the Hero Killer, the last straw for her was what just happened. Izuku shattered his arms once again after finally getting a handle of his powers and almost died once again. And to top it all off, he and some other students got expelled for their actions.
"I'm sorry this had to happen Mrs. Midoriya, I tried to keep all of them in UA. I think all of them are invaluable members of their former class. Heck, most of the group were in the top five in the class ranking!"
"I'm not mad at you at all, Mr. All Might. I'm just worried about my son's future-"
"Bah, you don't need to worry at all! Have you seen the news? Every story not involving my final battle is talking about how brave these five young students are. Letters from various prestigious schools, hero or otherwise are pouring in. I assume you got the call from Mr. Aizawa recommending that young Midoriya to Shiketsu, correct?"
"It's...not that...I don't think I approve of my son becoming a hero!"
Izuku, who had been silently observing their conversation. Finally spoke up "What?"
"I'm sorry, Izuku...It's just that I saw you get hurt so much this past year...I can't bear to lose you! You're all I have!" Tears were streaming down Inko's face. She felt terrible, in her head, she was denying her son's dream because she can't let go. All the years of abuse and bullying Izuku put up with to achieve his goal and now she was the one who was going to put a stop to it.
Izuku ran out the room and came back shortly afterwards with a piece of paper. It was a letter from the young boy he saved. "Mom, this is from Kouta. He wrote this to thank me for rescuing him from Muscular. When he needed a someone to help, I stepped. In that moment when I did...everything just felt right. No one ever stepped up for me when I needed it...those times where I felt like nothing because evolution passed me by...when I felt that my dreams were simply impossible...I don't want anyone else to ever feel like that! I get that you don't want me to leave...I don't want to leave you either. But I will become a hero no matter what!"
"Go to Shiketsu, young Midoriya…"
"All Might, I can't just leave my mother like that!"
"He's right, Izuku...That was the only school that wanted to take in all of you kids. You all have bright futures. I can't my fears drag you down."
"But mom...I can't leave you all alone!"
"She won't be alone, young Midoriya! I shall keep her company!"
A simultaneous "excuse me?" came from both Midoriyas and All Might hastily amended his statement.
"Er, I mean, uh Tsukauchi and I will probably keep her company. Tsukauchi will probably strive to hang out more and his wife will probably want to tag along as well. Megumi always lamented not having the time to make any friends, sound familiar Mrs. Midoriya?"
Crimson stained Inko's cheeks "I...uh...don't want to impose…"
"Nonsense! I'm retired now, aside from my teaching job I kinda have nothing to do. Besides, I want to get to know the person who raised such a fine young man" The retired hero turned towards Izuku and somehow morphed back into his gigantic form
"I'm sorry that I cannot come with you to Shiketsu...I don't know how much my training will do you good now that I'm a shell of my former self-"
"Don't say that All Might, you're still the greatest hero!"
A sardonic chuckle escaped All Might's lips along with blood as he morphed back into his now permanent hagrid form "I appreciate that you still think so highly of me, young Midoriya but I have to have to accept my limitations as should you. Gran Torino just moved to a new house close to Shiketsu High, I know that he did so because he knows that I'm useless as a teacher now. That man taught you to use your quirk better than I ever could and judging by his actions he wants you to go to Shiketsu as well"
"I guess I'll go to Shiketsu...I mean, I wanna know where Iida and Todoroki are going to as well! They're good friends of mine…"
"Maybe you should meet up later, all of you I mean. I don't know if it's a mother's intuition or not but something tells me that the five of you all are going to accomplish great things."
0000
The five of them agreed to meet up at a local park to discuss their plans for the future. It had been a long day for all of them, and each wanted to know how the talk with parents went.
"My mother and father were proud that I showed initiative! My father regaled me a story of how he could have stopped a villain from hurting people but chose to follow the law to the letter."
'Wait, your folks are heroes? That's so awesome! Can you tell me more about-"
"-this isn't really the time, Midoriya" Todoroki interrupted his friend's fanboying
"Uh...yeah...sorry."
"It's cool, my sister was pretty angry with me at first. I gotta thank you Iida, your brother told her that what we did was heroic and she seemed to understand. I guess that means your folks were alright with what you did?"
"Indeed, my mother and father told me it was good publicity and that I had grown as a person when I decided to choose justice over the law. Apparently, Tensei employed some vigilantes after he became impressed with what he saw."
"Whoa, you're brother really did that? Damn, he's such a mad lad!"
"Indeed he is, Kirishima. I'm proud that our my actions gained his approval. He seemed to convince your sister of the righteousness of our cause as well…"
"Yeah, she's usually super neurotic over these types of things. I guess her boyfriend is rubbing off on her."
"My grandma said what we did reminded her of the heroes she knew when she was younger. Back before agencies were common and heroes didn't expect to get paid!"
"It must admit, that past heroes did have a certain je ne sais quoi that is akin to the wild west...my brother sought to emulate those sort of heroics when he was active. While still staying within the law, of course."
"Geez, it looks like my mom was the only person that was worried! She told me how scared she was about all the crap that we went through"
"Well you always took the brunt of whatever happened at our school, Midoriya. Hell, you broke your bones for my sake during the sports festival! It's no surprised that your mother would be worried you."
"Yeah but after I told her why I want to be hero she understood. Plus, All Might promised to keep tabs on me to help her cope everything…."
"Did you guys decide what school you want to go to?" Kirishima asked the question they were all putting off."
"My parents said that i should convince you all to attend Shiketsu with me. It is the only school that desires all of us…"
"My sister told me the same thing. She was happy with the friendships I formed this year and would hate to see us be apart."
"My brother and parents also told me to try to stick together. My father especially thinks we could accomplish great things together now that the media's eyes are on us."
"My grandmother basically said the same thing."
"My mother and All Might both wanted us to stick together too!"
"So...we're gonna keep this fellowship going?"
"Come one, Todoroki! Me and Iida fought Stain with you! There's no way I'm gonna let it end like this!"
"Indeed, you helped me regain my bearings during our fight with Mr. Aizawa and Iida and I were representatives for our former class."
"Ah man, all of you know each other so well and I'm over here being the odd one out!"
"Come on Kirishima, you'll get to know us pretty well soon!" Midoriya turned towards all of them "This is probably going to be an even harder path for all of us...But I know that we could overcome any and all obstacles that we face. We made a crazy first impression to a lot of people, let's not disappoint!" Midoriya extended his fist out to the rest of them "LET'S DO THIS!"
The others were so caught up in Midoriya's surprising display of bravado that they couldn't help but perform a five way fist bump
"Yeah!"
*Sorry this chapter took so long, I was trying to give a logical reason why all of their parents would want them to go to Shiketsu. Also, here are some notes-
*Momo's parentage is a big FullMetal Alchemist reference*
*Bakugou is gonna get better, I promise!*
*Does All Might have a crush on Inko?*
