*First of all, I have to thank QuirkQuartz for letting me use Mina's family from "Awkward Energy"

I have to apologize for taking so long to write this chapter. I had to travel abroad fro my job and when i finally came back home I came down with an illness that left me out of commission for a while*

For Micha Ashido, the events of the past few days were an odd blur. He remembered coming home from work and seeing his sister openly weeping in her room. The first thought that popped into his head was that Midoriya broke up with her. After he talked and comforted Mina she revealed exactly what had happened…

His job as an engineer often meant that he was neck deep in his work for days on end but he never expected that he would miss out on the story of the century. All Might, the number one hero in Japan became powerless after one last big battle with a villain. An entire era had ended on that day...he remembered being a teenager himself and watching All Might kick all kinds of ass, so seeing him in his withered state on the news was fucked up. The missed calls and texts from his friends reminded him of the second biggest piece of news that happened on that fateful day. Now normally something as big as freaking All Might retiring after his final battle would push any other story out of the minds of the populace, but there was one other story that was all over the news as well. A group of five UA students went on a mission and saved their colleague from the League of Villains. They got expelled for their trouble. The five teens were Eijirou Kirishima, Tenya Iida, Momo Yaoyorozu, Shouto Todoroki, and….Izuku Midoriya, his sister's boyfriend.

The backlash that was directed at UA for their actions was shocking and unexpected. All over the country, protests were made in favor of the kids who got expelled. He spent the day scouring all over the web for more information and he found out some things. For one, UA's reputation had taken a massive hit in the past few months. Micha himself had no idea what to think of that school anymore. He was elated to see his little sister get accepted into such a prestigious school, who wouldn't be? UA was one of the top hero schools in Japan, rivaled only by Shiketsu High which was across the country. Things changed after she finally started going there…

He flashbacked to the villains attack on the students and some teachers. This was the first time the "League Of Villains" showed their faces and caused some mayhem. They had some huge monster with them and they would have killed everyone if it weren't for All Might. Mina had nightmares for weeks after being part of that catastrophe. Then the UA staff contacted his family about sending his sister out to a training camp, a lot of other families also felt that their child could be in danger. The school, however assured them that the training facility was kept secret.

So of course the League Of Villains' attacked, blindsiding the school once again and this time they managed to kidnap a student. If it weren't for the five kids that went out on their own, this Bakugou kid may have been killed by the League. Whoever at UA that made the call to get rid of them must be feeling real dumb right now. He remember scouring the web and seeing so much stuff regarding them. Journalists and bloggers writing stories all about the kids and how everyone could help them. Others were organizing protests and marches for the "UA Five", it was weird seeing his sister's boyfriend, someone who was pretty damn plain being so revered by the populace. For probably the first time since its inception, UA high was falling under scrutiny.

It didn't help that the five kids that were expelled were the exact opposite of the type of kids who would get expelled. Four out of five of those teens were in the top five of the class rankings with Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida already having some fans after their encounter with Stain. Before that Midoriya and Todoroki made waves when they had their match at the Sports Festival, which was seen as an amazing spectacle to everyone who witnessed it live. The country saw exactly what those two could do. Also, three of the expelled students came from highly influential families. That Yaoyorozu girl who he remembered tutored his sister once was freakin' loaded. If he had to guess, that family was among the richest of Japan, Both Iida and Todoroki also come from rather wealthy families as well and both came from a famous heroic lineage. Hell, Todoroki's dad just became the number one hero!

All of the recent shit that happened to UA made a lot of family members wary of keeping their kids in UA. It was only after the school divulged to them the safety measures that the staff put in place did they cooperate.

Micha made another attempt to talk to his sister about what happened. He felt like he owed her another talk, seeing as how she spent the first one sobbing.

"How…how are you holding up?"

"How do you think I'm holding up?" There was a bitter edge to her voice that Micha never quite heard before. "Some of my closest friends and my boyfriend are gone from my school and are getting shipped across the country because they actually gave a damn about some shit head! And the freakin' school expects us to just carry on like nothing happened! So I don't know, maybe I'm feeling a bit pissed off!"

"If you need any help getting close to Midoriya just tell me, alright? I will be your ride…just let a brother know?"

Mina paused. Did her brother offer to drive her across the country to see her boyfriend? Usually he would start whining if she asked him to drive her to the store but now he's saying he would help her out with no complaints.

"T-Thank you Micha, but why would you do all that for me and Izu?"

Now it was Micha's turn to freeze in his tracks. Why did he willingly offer to drive his sister across the country to see her boyfriend? His mind raced through every logical reason why he would do such a thing but all he saw were snippets of Mina hanging out with that nervous wreck. He remembered the look Mona had whenever she was around that kid. A look of pure reverence was always on her damn face. At first he was confused as to why she would fall for such a plain kid but then he noticed what a guy Midoriya was. That kid…he was something else. Underneath that blush and stutter was someone that was willing to give it his all for the people he cared about and Micha was happy that his sister fell under the category of "people Midoriya cares about". A grim thought wormed its way into Micha's skull. He had committed a cardinal sin among big brothers everywhere- he actually approved of the boy his little sister was dating! Not only that but he wanted them to stay together for long as possible! How could any snot nosed brat make him think like that after only a month of dating his little sister? However Midoriya could have done such a thing would remain a mystery for now, he needed an excuse as to why he offered his chauffeur services to his little sister.

"I just don't want see you all moping around forever. I could barely handle two months of it." Fucking nailed it

"Oh…but thanks anyway, Micha. You're a good brother…"

"Don't mention it, Pinky."

He overslept. Bakugou hated waking up late, if he wasn't punctual then he might miss something important. As he bolted out of his slumber, he clutched his head in pain. He had hoped that after all the questioning from the cops and the earful he got from the old hag that he would maybe get a good night's sleep but that didn't pan out.

Waking up in pain was a thing Bakugou was used to but this was different. This wasn't the agony he felt when he pushed himself to the physical limits during workouts. No, he felt like shit in a completely different way; like he wanted to spend the next twenty minutes throwing up in a trashcan somewhere. He chalked it up to the amount of stress that accumulated since he got kidnapped. Hell, he even had a nightmare, something he hadn't experienced since he was a dumb kid.

It was a fucking weird nightmare too, nothing about being kidnapped or tortured by the league or something like that but he was in a dark, featureless room with no one but himself to talk too. That was literally it, just him talking to another version of himself. Well, if he had to be honest, he wasn't actually talking to his other self more like his other self was laying in on him about how he was a terrible person. What made it worse was that "other him" had the same hairstyle that Best Jeanist gave him. That was a weird dream…"Better get up, if I can't handle shit like this then I'll never become number one."

Bakugou swung his legs off his bed so that his feet touched the floor but before he could get up another pang of pain hit his head. As he clutched his skull he began to remember feeling this way before. Yeah, it was when he was a kid and finally ended that sorry excuse of a friendship with Deku. he chalked it up to disgust at that quirkless runt.

That's called guilt dumbass

"Who said that?" it took Bakugou a bit too long to realize that no one else was in the room with him. It took him longer to get the full gist of the voice in his head. He had gathered that the dream that he had last night was his consciousness taking a (kinda) physical form and directly speaking to him but as long as he was awake then his consciousness would be relegated to his inner thoughts. He was sure that he would be admitted to a mental hospital if anyone caught him talking (re: yelling) at himself out loud so he would stick to just talking to his other self (Other-Ku?) in the recesses of his mind.

You feel like shit because you're guilty about what happened to your former classmates that rescued you. It's okay you know...it's perfectly natural to feel bad.

I don't feel bad. Those guys aren't idiots, they'll manage. They are not the type to give up easily and if I spend my time moping around like a bum then I won't become number one someday

So you are just going to avoid and repress your emotions? Just going to run away from your problems?

The fuck is that supposed to mean?

You're chalking up the sick feelings that are building up inside you know it's because Kirishima called you an awful person. The last time you felt like this was when you decided to throw away your childhood friendship with Midoriya, both of those people were your friends. You didn't think much of anything when you kicked Midoriya to the curb since you had a gaggle of sycophants to build up your already massive ego. Then you met Kirishima, someone who actually liked you as a person and not just a cool, future hero. You liked that didn't you?"

Sweet psycho-analysis, I bet you think you got me all figured out, huh? Well you're wrong because you imply that I give any fucks about Deku when he's out of my way!

I do know that you care about Midoriya more than you care to admit. I know that you get angry at him all the time is because you can't accept that a guy like him is still consistently friendly to you after all the shit you've done to him. Well after what happened I'm pretty sure he won't go out of his way to be friendly to you anymore. So if you want him to stop being so nice to you got your wish. Also, the reason why I am so good at analysing you is because I am you. I'm the part of you that isn't a stubborn mule so don't think you can slap away my advice with a "you don't know me"

Bakugou became silent, he didn't know what so say to refute...himself. Nothing ever prepared him with a debate against his own being. The blonde decided to take a walk outside, hoping that the fresh air would clear his mind. He brushed his and got dressed before he walked towards the kitchen to get an apple to eat on his trek. As he strolled throughout his place he took notice of what his folks were doing- his mother was talking to presumably Deku's mom judging by the way she's congratulating the other person on her "acceptance to Shiketsu" his father was reading a novel on the couch near the door. He hoped that if he kept his head low then his dad wouldn't bug him. His father was one of the few people that could get through to hime (the formal list being His dad, Aizawa, formally Kirishima, and oddly enough, himself or Other-ku) and he didn't want to hear another lecture. Just when he thought he was in the clear as his hand gripped the doorknob he heard a familiar gruff, weary voice

"You know, you should try to talk to that Kirishima fellow. You seemed close to him and it would be a shame if you two drifted apart" he didn't say anything else, he didn't need to say anything else.

The old man is right

Fuck off

Bakugou grumbled in response before heading out. He walked to the local park in attempt to clear his head, hoping that no one would recognize him and ask him stupid questions. Bakugou took the trail that weaved through the more forested area of the park, being amongst nature comforted him better than anything else ever could. If he gave any care about that sentimental shit he would say that the trees looked particularly beautiful today. The walk cleared his head and Bakugou was happy that his conscience didn't butt his know-it-all head into his walk. As he exited the clearing Bakugou saw exactly the last thing he wanted to see.

Round face was sitting on a park bench, her eyes red and swollen with tears. All around her were the Goth guy, the purple-haired brainwashing guy, the gadget person from support, and tentacles oddly enough. They were in a middle of a pity party, well mostly...judging by the look on Round face it seemed that the rest of those guys were trying to cheer her up. Deku and Glasses were her two closest friends and now they were both expelled from UA.

Bakugou was watching the five from behind a tree and he couldn't help but feel a sickened. If this was how Round face was going to react to two friends being seperated from her then how the the hell is she is going to deal with people getting hurt or worse in a pro hero career? It was stupid how emotional people could get and he vowed that he wouldn't too attached to anything or anyone. Besides, All Might never relied on anyone so why should he?

You don't know anything about All Might. That guy is well adjusted, he probably has a couple of good friends…"

Yeah but I do know Round face and look at how she's taking this! She's crying her eyes out for her two friends! It's not like they're dead or anything!

Do you expect her to not feel sad about her two friends? You think bottling up everything is a better way to deal with this shit?

I'm just disappointed, that's it. When me and Round face fought each other in the Sports Festival...it was amazing. She went from an extra to someone who could kick ass! She was interesting, damnit! You know how much it sucks to see her reduced to...to this? A sobbing fucking mess!?

Are you really that stupid? She didn't become a "sobbing mess", when she needed to kick ass, she kicked ass but now she feels sad for her close friends' predicament.

Tch, whatever...Still sad to see such a potential badass cry her eyes out

Are you even listening to your- Wait a minute, I get it

Get what?

You're angry that she cares about Iida and more importantly Midoriya more than you and you're using your disappointment over her "de-badassification" as an excuse

No, I'm not

Yes you are, you're angry that Uraraka cares so much about Midoriya and not you! I mean, why wouldn't she? Midoriya is kind, heroic, brave, while you are a huge jerk. That's the reason why the League thought you would join them right? You can't handle someone who you treated like dirt your entire life be so successful! For all your hard work and talent, you just can't measure up to Deku in courage and kindness and it drives you nuts, doesn't it? The first girl you are genuinely interested in has a thing for that "useless Deku" and not you

Stop being so fucking smug. Maybe in the past I may have had a thing for Round face, but seeing her now the only thing I feel for her is pity. And to think that I'm jealous of Deku of all fucking people is a stupid idea.

Whatever you say. I'm your subconscious, I know what you're really thinking…

"T-Thanks for being her for me" Uraraka could barely speak in between the sobs. She was grateful that she had others to mourn the expulsion of two of her closest friends. It wasn't a surprise that Mei and Tokoyami would share her grief at the departure of her two closest friends but Shouji and Shinsou's presence confused her.

"As much as I am at ease in the darkness I must admit that I spent the better part of today waiting for the dawn to vanquish this terrible nightmare. I just couldn't fathom the leader of our Sports Festival group leaving UA. ig anything, Midoriya was more committed to being a hero than any of us…"

Those words made Uraraka feel even more bad about the current situation. Midoriya wanted to become a hero because he wanted to help people. It was such a pure and simple ideal, much more noble than her goal of making money. Although it was true that both Midoriya and Iida assured her that her reasons for becoming a hero were as noble as any, deep down she still felt like a false hero. Why did fate conspire to get someone like Midoriya kicked out of UA while someone as selfish as her get to stay?

"I hope that Shiketsu high has a good support department…I had to work really hard to upgrade Midoriya's gear so that it would stand the wear and tear that crazy guy puts his body through. I'd hate to see some idiot half ass any upgrades that he decides to put on. I always try to make sure my friends get the best gear they could get because who knows what could happen if anything breaks or malfunctions in a middle of an important battle. Crap, that reminds me that I never got around to upgrading Iida's gear! After all he did to help get eyes on me during the Sports Festival to…"

"I'm sure that either Iida or Midoriya could contact you if they feel like only you could make the best gear for them, Mei" Shinsou's logic put an end to Mei's ramblings

"Mm, I guess you're right...Say, why do you care about Iida or Midoriya leaving?" Mei's question prompted the others to also inquire about Shinsou's apparent newfound fondness for the duo.

"I admit that I didn't have much interaction with Iida but Midoriya connected with me during our fight at the Sports Festival. He told me that I can become a hero with my evil quirk and when he said it...I believed him. I believed him because when he told me that I could become a hero it sounded like he genuinely thought I could and wasn't paying me any lip service. I know that a guy like that will one day become number one someday. He inspires everyone he meets…"

"Yeah, that sounds like Deku alright…" The ever present blush on Uraraka's cheeks grew a bit brighter as she said that

"I actually have the opposite feelings Shinsou has" Shouji interjected "While I never actually talked much with Midoriya, Iida and I got along quite well with each other."

"Ah yes, I remember you saying that the two of you had similar tastes in books."

"You would be right, Tokoyami. It felt like Iida was the only person I could discuss classic literature. From the great works of famous Greek philosophers to men like Voltaire and Machiavelli. Guess our time leafing through such compositions will be severely cut down.

Uraraka felt guilty listening to Shouji's tale. Despite the fact that both Midoriya and Iida were her two closest friends she knows that she spent a disproportionate amount of her feelings lamenting the loss of Midoriya more than Iida. She knew that she had a crush on him but she had hoped that talking to Ashido about it would put an end to it. To her surprise, Ashido was cool with her little crush. Her exact words were "Yeah, Izu is pretty awesome huh? Well, as long as you don't do anything vile to try and steal him away from me than I don't care if you also think he's cute."

How could she still have a crush on Deku after she saw how happy Ashido and him were together? Uraraka was worried that the absence of him would take her head out of the game and she needn't to keep her grades ups by herself since she didn't have her two study buddies to assist her.

This is going to be a challenge...

The student's of Shiketsu High's Elite first year class were more than a bit disappointed that their homeroom teacher made them wake up early on a Saturday to deliver them some news. They were all wondering why this news couldn't wait until they were all fully awake and alert.

"Mr. Bernal, I don't know if this is the norm in America but usually the weekend is the time where students don't have to wake up early in the morning. I could barely open my eyes with how tired I am!" Seiji Shishikura was the first student to voice his displeasure at the early wake up call. He wasn't aware that his classmates and teacher couldn't actually tell that he could barely open his since his eyes were just really narrow all the time. No one had the heart to tell him that though since he was always so sensitive about it.

Inasa Yoarashi was quick to defend the reputation of his teacher "Come on Seiji, Mr. Bernal probably has a good reason for calling us out here this early in the morning! This could count as a lesson, a truly hot-blooded hero should be ready to do important tasks at a moment's notice. No matter the time of day!"

Their teacher let out an amused chuckle watching the two of his students views on the situation clash. His class was pretty small and he was happy that his old acquaintance gave him the opportunity to take in more students, even if the circumstances were a little...controversial. He scanned the three students in the room and noticed that one was missing

"Does anyone know where Utsushimi is? Is she still asleep or…?"

Nagamasa Mora raised his hand to answer his teacher's question "Uh, she told us that she was going to visit her parents yesterday so when you announced that we needed to go to homeroom early today I tried contacting her but she never texted back or answered any calls. I finally called her home and her parents sounded worried. They told me that Utsushimi arrived pretty late and she seemed "out of it" all she wanted to do was go to bed. I'm worried that something bad happened to her…"

"Well, I wanted everyone of you here to tell you this but next Monday we are getting five new students in this class. This gives us eight days to prepare for some new faces around here so-"

"Wait a minute! I thought this high school was one of the best hero schools in the country, should we really be accepting random students?"

"These aren't just random students, Seiji. The students that will be joining you soon are the five teen that had been expelled from UA for rescuing one of their classmates. As you are aware, our rival school is coming under fire for expelling them and the Board of Directors that run this place thought that taking them in would give us good publicity. I'm sure you are all aware of them but if you need a refresher their names are Izuku Midoriya, Momo Yaoyorozu, Tenya Iida, Ejirou Kirishima, and Shouto Todoroki. Now I know that this is happening so suddenly but the school promised the Board of Directors that these five would get a smooth transition to Shiketsu. Can I have your word that you all will help me with that?"

All three of his students nodded in response. While they were an odd bunch, all of the teens in Mr. Bernal's tight knit class adored their teacher and did whatever they could to make him proud.

"I thank you all for accepting this sudden change so quickly. Alright, you're free to go now. If you have any questions I'll be right here all day grading papers

As the three students left the room Seiji noticed something was wrong with Inasa. He caught Inasa speeding towards the dorms and he grabbed his hand to stop him.

"What's wrong?"

"...Nothing is wrong…"

"Come on Inasa, I'm not stupid. I know when something is bothering my boyfriend. Now normally when Mr. Bernal asks us to do something you usually yell about how determined you will be but this time you just nodded your head like a normal person."

"It's about Endeavour's kid. I came here because I thought he was an asshole like his old man, but now I know the type of guy he really his... He willingly risked his life to rescue someone else even if he wasn't supposed to. I thought he was a selfish jerk but in reality he's a good guy."

"No offense Inasa, but holding a grudge against a guy just because he rebuked you that one time is pretty dumb. I mean, he could have just been in a bad mood that day. First impressions aren't everything you know. When I first met you I thought you were pretty annoying, if I hadn't bothered to hang out with you more than I would not have found out how great you are!"

"I guess you're right…"

"Of course I am! Now come on, let's get breakfast, I'm starving!"

*I made Camie a first year student because I wanted to pad out the Shiketsu High class without adding any OC's

I also hope that I wrote Bakugou arguing with his conscience clear. I know he looked like an asshole in the first two chapters but he's going to start getting better I promise

I made the Shiketsu High teacher a foreigner (Mexican-American) on a whim and I named him after a friend and co-worker. You'll see his quirk soon enough.*
