Izuku just got done packing the last of his things for his Journey to Shiketsu. He couldn't quite get a handle on all the emotions he was feeling at this point. The green haired cinnamon roll was somehow nervous, excited, and terrified at the prospect of attending a new high-school. He was going to miss UA and the friends he made there like Tsuyu, Uraraka, Tokoyami, and Shinsou. That didn't even take account of his wonderful girlfriend- Mina Ashido; just when UA was getting dorms he gets whisked away to another school when he could have been spending more time with Mina. Then again, that was typical Deku luck.

Izuku went to the kitchen to get a glass of water when he spotted his mother talking to Mrs. Bakugou. He reminded himself to thank Mrs. Bakugou for giving him a ride to his new school. She probably felt guilty that her son was indirectly the cause of his expulsion. Both Izuku and his mother knew to accept the offer because Mrs. Bakugou will keep insisting until they finally break down and say yes.

"Oh, I can't believe my little Izuku is leaving the nest at fifteen years old Can you believe that Mitsuki?!" tears welled up in his mother's eyes while Mrs. Bakugou did her best to assure her that things will work out. "Cheer up Inko, your son knows what he's doing and you know he's going to visit you a lot."

"I know but it seems like things are going so fast! First Izuku gets a quirk that breaks his bones, he gets accepted to UA, makes so many new friends, then he started dating someone, and now he's expelled and he's a celebrity!"

"...At least your kid is growing up" Mitsuki said between gritted teeth. "In fact, you should be proud of all the recognition Izuku is getting! We both know that Izuku wasn't the most popular kid before high school but look at him now! Ever since the Sports Festival your boy has been on the radar of so many people. He's gonna be a great pro hero someday and I wish I could say that about the brat I have." Mitsuki turned towards Izuku "What do you think of my kid, Izuku?"

Izuku didn't know what to say. What was he supposed to say "After trying to stay friends with that jerk who bullied me constantly ever since he got his quirk I finally realized that I shouldn't even bother with an asshole like Kacchan now that I know what real friends are like "?

Fortunately, Mitsuki knew that his silence was all she needed to hear "I don't blame you for hating my son. Frankly, I'm amazed that you managed to try to stay cordial with him for that long. If it makes you feel better, nobody in his class likes him anymore."

Izuku didn't know how he felt about that revelation. On one hand, he knew what it felt like to be alienated from his peers and have nobody like you. But on the other hand, fuck Kacchan. He didn't know why he didn't feel bad; maybe he was just getting more cynical? But before he could really delve into his feelings someone knocked on his door.

"I'll get it, mom. The man at the door wore a black chauffeur uniform that looked pretty expensive. "Good morning, are you a Mr. Izuku Midoriya?"

"Uh...yeah?"

"Izuku honey, who is this man?"

"Ah, you must be Mr. Midoriya's mother. Please do not worry about anything. I work for the Yaoyorozu family and I assure you that your son will have a safe journey to his new school."

Mitsuki lightly elbowed Inko's arm "Psst, I almost forgot that the heir of the Yaoyorozu Dynasty also got expelled for UA. Those guys are like some of the richest people in Japan. If you ask me, your kid is probably going to have a way more comfortable time lounging in a fancy limo than in my five year old sedan."

"I didn't know my son was involved with such influential people! But if he's okay with, I'll let him go with you sir."

"I'm cool with going with a chauffeur but, uh, we're supposed to show up to Shiketsu at four, it's like ten in the morning."

"Ah, Master Momo wanted to being all of you fine young men to her manor so you all could have a little get together before you depart as a group. As we speak, your fellow peers are being escorted to Yaoyorozu manner."

"Huh, makes sense...Uh, Can I say goodbye to my mother?"

"Of course, allow me to take your possessions downstairs."

"I'll help you!" Mitsuki grabbed a suitcase and headed downstairs. She wanted to leave mother and son alone so they could say their farewells.

Inko grabbed her son in a tight hug and started bawling. No matter how much her son grew into a fan young man Izuku was still her baby boy damn it! She didn't want to see him go across the country to a completely new school.

"I'll miss you so much! Please stay safe, I'll make sure to call you every day to see how everything is going!"

Izuku returned his mother's tight hug as he felt his own tears slide down his cheeks. Crying at the drop of the hat was one of the many things he inherited from his amazing mother. "I'll miss you too mom...I'll come back here to visit you as soon as possible so please don't spend too much time worrying about me." Izuku was really worried about what would become of his mother once he leaves. He hoped that Bakugou's mother would keep her old friend company. Izuku also thought back on All Might promising to keep his mother company with his friends. Izuku still didn't know what to think of All Might hanging out with his mom but he didn't want her to spend the days just worrying about him.

"I...gotta go now mom." he kissed her on the cheek "Love you!"

"I love you too sweetie! Don't forget to eat right!"

"Holy crap, Yaoyorozu's house makes my place look like a shed!"

"You're telling me Kirishima. I live in an apartment and this place takes an entire street!" Both Midoriya and Kirishima stood in awe at the front gate of their friend's mansion. If it weren't for Iida telling them to get a move on they would stood there for another couple of hours.

"Todoroki's already inside, let's get going. We shouldn't waste our time dawdling around instead of acting like the honoured guests we are. Yaoyorozu's parents went above and beyond preparing this luncheon for us so we should repay them in full."

"Uh, yeah!" Both Midoriya and Kirishima said as Iida directed them towards the entrance. Todoroki was already inside speaking to Yaoyorozu's father. Yaomomo herself was actually in the dining room making sure all the food was perfect.

"I'm glad you're working on your fire powers kid. Maybe next time I come back from work I'll give you some tips about fire powers. But I'm guessing your father already is dead set on helping you."

"To be honest Mustang, I'd rather have you help me…"

"What's the matter kid, Have a bad relationship with your dad?"

"...Something like that"

"Heh, no need to feel bad about it. My in laws hate my guts and I don't give a damn. Hey, it looks like your friends are here. Mind if I introduce myself?"

"It's alright."

Roy introduced himself to Kirishima without a hitch. He greeted the red haired teen with a big smile and made sure to tell Kirishima that he could call him Mustang instead of Mr. Yaoyorozu. He did the same thing with Todoroki.

Things got weird when he Iida (rather loudly) greeted him. Roy flinched when he heard the teen's voice (He actually couldn't believe that Iida was only a sixteen years old, looks like his daughter wasn't the only mature looking teen in her class). When the four boys asked him why he flinched Roy gave an odd explanation.

"I'm sorry but Iida sounds exactly like a former vigilante turned coworker I have in the states. The guy's name was "Scar" and he attacked villains because one of them caused the death of his brother. He also attacked any hero who tried to stop him for a while. The two of us actually fought a couple times before we teamed up to stop some sound manipulating villain. After we teamed up I recommended he become an official licensed hero and told him that we get mental health benefits so he could cope with his brother's death. Thankfully, he took my offer and the "Destruction hero- Scar" was born.

Todoroki, Midoriya, and Iida were stunned that this "Scar" guy had almost the exact same motivation Iida did when he swore vengeance against Stain. Midoriya and Todoroki gave Iida a side-eye as if to say "Are you hearing this dude?" Iida himself looked like he wanted to jump off a bridge; his greatest failure that almost cost him his life and the life of his two close friends was being unknowingly thrown back at him.

"Sorry for the random story, kids. You just sound straight up like my coworker and I found it weird. Hell, you even have the same red eyes. But I'm sure someone like you wouldn't do something so foolish. Hell, weren't you the Class President or Representative or whatever at UA?"

Iida, Todoroki, and Midoriya gave Mustang a lively "YES SIR" while Kirishima scratched his head in confusion "What the hell was that, you guys?" Before Mustang could ask the same question Todoroki quickly asked him where Yaoyorozu was so that the older man could stop thinking about the awkward moment that just transpired.

That question seemed to please Yaoyorozu Dad because a giant grin appeared on his face "Oh, Momo's busy making sure all the food and the presentation in the dining room is perfect. She's a real perfectionist about that sort of stuff, really eats away at her mind."

"That seems like her, alright. She was really nervous when we had to fight one of our teachers for a test. I don't know why she felt like she wasn't good; in my opinion she's one of the best in our (former) class."

Mustang raised an eyebrow at Todoroki's statement "Hmm, it looks like you know my daughter quite well…"

Rather obviously, Todoroki gave an answer to his hypothesis "I'd like to think that Mr. Yaoyorozu"

"Well then, I think you should help my daughter make sure everything is perfect. I'm sure your presence will calm her down…" Mustang gave Todoroki a not so subtle wink.

"Sure thing, sir." Todoroki walked away while wondering what the hell was up with Yaoyorozu's father.

Mustang then turned towards Izuku, who was busy pulling a notebook out of his backpack "Uh, excuse me sir but I kinda want to, uh, know how your quirk works."

"Don't sweat it kid. Momo told me that you loved learning about other people's quirks so I whipped up some notes to help you get a bearing on my quirk." Mustang grabbed a small notebook off a nearby table "Now I know that this is probably more info than you're used to about the quirks you learn but I couldn't help myself when I started writing."

"Thank you sir."

"Come on kid, I told you to call me Mustang! You're making me feel old"

"Sorry si- er, Mustang!"

"There you go! Come on; let's head to the dining room. I'm sure you are all starving."

Midoriya and Kirishima never felt so out of place, all the food that was served to them looked extremely expensive to the two students. Iida and Todoroki were more comfortable with the fine dining and they actually helped explain to their two friends just exactly what they were eating.

Momo was a bit embarrassed that her father coerced Todoroki into sitting next to her on the table, something that the fire and ice user didn't understand the implications of. This caused Roy to laugh out loud at how oblivious Todoroki was before a stern look from his wife, Riza made him stop.

Riza then turned towards Midoriya "You aren't still breaking your bones, are you?"

"N-No, mam. I could control your quirk much better now…"

The blonde looked at Midoriya with rigid stare before praising him "That's good to hear, your parents must have been worried sick about you after they saw you break your bone during the Sports Festival."

"Yeah, my mother was really scared when she saw my fight against Todoroki…"

"Still, she must be proud of what you have become now. That fight you had with Todoroki was really an impromptu therapy session, wasn't it?"

Both Midoriya and Todoroki were stunned that Yaoyorozu's mom was able to deduce that much from watching the fight "How did you…?"

She smirked "I didn't get the name "Hawkeye" just because of my quirk." She then turned towards Iida to get a gauge on him "Honey, I thought you said this had red eyes like Scar? He clearly has gold eyes."

"That's impossible! I looked at him straight in the eyes and they were red!"

Kirishima laughed at their dispute. He remembers when his entire former class had a similar debate about Iida's eye colour that was so all encompassing that even Aizawa joined in. Some thought they were red, others thought they were blue; Tooru even claimed they were pink sometimes and Uraraka insisted that they were gold. In the end everyone agreed that Iida's eyes just randomly changed colours for some reason. "You get used to Iida's weird eyes real fast."

Clearing her throat to indicate that she was going to speak, Momo wanted to thank her parents for letting her invite all of them on such short notice "Even though not all of us knew each other quite well beforehand, circumstances led to all of us getting expelled together. I don't know what will happen to us in our new school but I hope that no matter what, we stick together as exiles"

The rest of table praised Momo's fine (albeit exaggerated) speech and the other four students swore that they will stick together through thick and thin. She even got Todoroki to crack a smile! After saying her final farewell to her mother and father before they returned to America, Momo escorted the rest of her friends to their transport to Shiketsu.

Once the five actually arrived on the Shiketsu campus, they were bombarded by a bevy of reporters from various news stations. Before they were devoured by the ravenous horde of information starved journalists, they were accosted by security guards and the five new students were allowed to pass through.

One of the guards directed them to a classroom and he indicated that this room would be their homeroom. Apparently, the teacher and the students were waiting for the new arrivals. They opened the door to see a mere four students and a teacher.

The instructor was a fairly tall man with tan skin and slicked back dark brown hair. It was immediately obvious that this man was a foreigner. In contrast to Aizawa's unkempt appearance, their presumed new teacher was clean cut and wore a jet black two piece suit. The man flashed them a quick smile before introducing himself "Good afternoon guys, I'm Marco Bernal and I will be your homeroom teacher for the rest of the year. I know this is pretty weird for you all. Hell, this is pretty weird for us too but the Board of Directors that give us our funding thought it would be good publicity for you guys to come here after you got expelled. We all hope that all of you are able to find some sort of place here after to the events that happened to you. I talked to Aizawa and he didn't want to expel you either but the chips were down and he made the decision that he thought was right."

The five former UA students quickly assured him that they are happy to be able to all attend this school and they promised that they will try to get acclimated to their new environment. The Shiketsu high students quickly greeted them hoping to make some new friends.

"Hey, I'm Inasa Yoarashi and my quirk lets me control the wind. I hope that all of you manage to excel in this school and become hot blooded heroes!"

"Ugh, sorry about my boyfriend. Inasa tends to get enthusiastic about...pretty much everything. I'm Seiji Shishikura and It's great to meet some new faces around here. This school is basically the western equivalent to UA so I guess that you all are gonna get used to the size pretty quickly.

The new arrivals assured them that Inasa's weird mannerisms weren't that crazy to them. All except Iida who seemed to be deep in thought before speaking

"Wait, You and Yoarashi are dating?"

"Yeah?"

"That's preposterous!" Right after Iida said that, the tension in the room dialed up a couple hundred notches. His fellow UA students were thinking "What the hell Iida?" while the Shiketsu students (barring Camie who was just staring at Midoriya) became agitated.

"Why can't a man date another man?" Seiji asked, daring Iida to answer

"Because I read that relationships between students are forbidden in Shiketsu!" Right after Iida said that all the tension in the room disappeared. Mr. Bernal and the other former UA students breathed a sigh of relief. Nagamasa gave a light chuckle to what he thought was a bait and switch joke and Seiji face palmed at Iida's antics.

Inasa however let out a bellowing laugh at Iida's accusations "I see that you two have read the two hundred page Shiketsu student handbook that is an optional read! It's great to finally find someone else so dedicated to education and rules! But, our teacher discreetly let us be absolved of that rule at his behest!"

"That's true. Once you kids are out of high school no one could stop you from forming romantic relationships between other heroes. I decided to ignore that one rule because it'll help you understand the hardships you will face when you are dating a classmate and in the future a coworker."

Yaoyorozu silently thanks him for not forbidding relationships between students and unbeknownst to her Todoroki was also happy with the teacher's decision. Meanwhile, Iida and Inasa were busy praising the other for being so dedicated and hot blooded.

Nagamasa introduced himself as the class rep and offered to take them all on a tour of the campus after they got settled. Camie however, ignored the other students and made a beeline straight towards Midoriya.

"You must be Deku, I've heard a lot about you and I can't wait to get know a cute guy like you better…"

"Uh, I'm sorry but I kinda have a girlfriend already…"

Camie's sweet demeanor changed instantly "What?! What's her name? What school does she go to?"

"Camie! That is such an inappropriate question! Please refrain from violating your new classmate's privacy!" Nagamasa was lived at her lack of tact "I have to apologize for Camie. She just recovered from an illness and is a bit out of the loop."

Mr. Bernal had enough of the introductions and requested that his students introduced the new arrivals to their new dorms. "The custodian is gonna clean this place up soon so we better get moving"

"Wait, Mr. Bernal! Before we leave can you show us what your quirk is?" Midoriya couldn't help but be curious as to what his new teacher's quirk is.

Mr. Bernal smirked and Todoroki gently put his hand on Midoriya's shoulder "Come on Midoriya, I'm pretty sure our new instructor will tell what he can do in the future.

Surprisingly, Midoriya forcefully removed his friends hand from his shoulders before laying in on him "What a damn shock that a guy who didn't want use half of his own powers would be too lazy to learn about other people's power!" this outburst made Iida, Kirishima, Todoroki, and Yaoyorozu gasp in shock. The Shiketsu students (barring Camie) in contrast, were laughing at the scene.

"Sorry everyone, that's just me messing with you all." Mr. Bernal let the cat out of the bag. "My quirk- "Unstoppable Rage" makes me able to increase the aggression of a single person or multiple targets by various degrees. From a slight annoyance to full on rabid dog level aggression. It's useful for getting villain teams to turn on each other. I'm impressed, I set Midoriya's aggression to nearly max levels and he still was fairly cordial. I have to apologize for messing with you; I just wanted to show what my quirk could do before explaining it."

"Midoriya was a bit shaken from his experiences but he couldn't deny that his new teacher's quirk was cool "I-It's alright…"

"You have to remember that anger isn't always bad, however. If you manage to control and harness your anger and direct it towards villainy it could give you the edge you need to save lives and defeat villains. I will teach you all how to do this during your time here. But in the meantime, you all deserve some relaxation before class starts tomorrow. Nagamasa, show them their new dorms."

"Yes sir!"

*The Bakugou rescue Squad finally arrive to their new school

Mustang's conversation with Iida is reference to the fact that in the English Dub, Scar shares the same voice actor with Iida. Also, Stain is voiced by the same person who voiced Scar's brother which I found funny too

The whole conversation about Iida's eyes is also a joke. Apparently, Horikoshi can't decide what colour Iida's eyes are. Seriously, this tumblr post delves into how weird this is- post/173271321310/what-color-are-iidas-eyes

As always, reviews keep me (and a lot of writers) going*
