Ok, so before we start this chapter, I just want to point out a few things:
1. Would you rather: Fight 10 Midoriya sized All Might's, or fight one All Might sized Midoriya?
2. Don't mock ANY Mental Disorder in the reviews of my stories. I have Autism, Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD myself, so mocking my kind is really triggering, so don't mock mental disorders. Otherwise I block you so you can't review my fics EVER AGAIN.
3. This chapter will contain the following:
• Nothing
The response section on the other hand... Just don't read the part about ZedArchie if you're emotionally sensitive in general. If you are, good luck with life, because everyone here is valid. That probably means that I shouldn't read it whenever I read this story. ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯
Now that I have all of the important shit out of the way, lets get into this!
Izuku stood nervously outside Principal Nezu's Office. It was after school and the broccoli boy had reported as requested. He knew, according to Aizawa, that the Principal wanted to thank him for his actions in the hallway during the break-in. Still, this was the Principal of UA High for crying out loud! Izuku knew Nezu was a Pro Hero too, one of the top Investigation Heroes in the World! It only made sense that he was quite nervous to meet the Principal because of that.
"Feel free to come in, Midoriya." Nezu chuckled and Izuku started as he realized the door to the office had been opened while he was thinking. Nezu chuckled as he motioned for Izuku to follow him into the office. Izuku was offered a seat and the multi-quirk teen sat down. Nezu went around his desk and hopped up into his chair. Once the two were settled Nezu smiled at the teen. "First, I'd like to thank you for your actions today, Midoriya. They were prompt, efficient, and, most of all, successful. You handled that situation like a true Pro Hero!"
"You're welcome, Mr Nezu." Izuku bowed. "But I can't take all of the credit. Tenya Iida managed to spot the press intruding, and told me that the press was intruding, and he let me copy his quirk, which made it easier for me to crowd surf to let everyone know about how the press was intruding."
"I see, well I'll thank him personally, tomorrow." Nezu smiled. "Now I was thinking, would you be willing to help me and Power Loader with an investigation."
"What kind?" Izuku inquired.
"When I got Power Loader to check what happened to the barrier. And he told me that it was disintegrated. And so, I wanted to see if you wanted to help us out and see what could have caused it." Nezu offered.
"Uh, sure!" Izuku replied.
"Alright, head outside and check back with me tomorrow to tell me your findings." Nezu instructed.
"Ok, thank you very much." Izuku bowed again, getting up from his seat. "Bye, Mr... Nezu."
"See you tomorrow, Izuku." Nezu replied.
Izuku left the office, making his way towards the now destroyed barrier of UA.
As Izuku was investigating, Katsuki ran up to him.
"Quirkologist! How'd the meeting with Nezu go?" Katsuki asked Izuku
"It went fine! And he wants me to look at the remains of the UA barrier, apparently that's how the press managed to intrude on the campus. Somehow it was destroyed." Izuku explained.
"Oh really?! What did it look like?!" Katsuki questioned eagerly, looking over Izuku's shoulder at the remains of the UA barrier.
"Well..." Izuku hummed, trailing off slightly. "He said it was destroyed. But he said I should try looking at the remains to see what exactly could've done it."
"So, basically, he wanted you to look at something he doesn't know about?" Katsuki questioned, taking notes.
"Yeah, it seems that way." Izuku agreed.
"Huh! Sounds exciting!" Katsuki grinned.
"Yeah... But..." Izuku sighed, a frown forming on his face. "...I know why he wants me to check out what happened but it sounds kinda dangerous to do definitely a villain out there who wants to attack UA.
Meanwhile, in a bar-like setting, two villains were talking. One looked like he was made up of purple fog, and the other hand light blue hair, and looked like he needed some Chapstick.
"Did you find out more about the boy's whereabouts?" The fog guy inquired.
"Of course I have! And I figured out the best way to finally get him to join the league!"
"And that is?"
"We attack the Unforseen Simulation Joint. It's connected to the place where All Might teaches, UA. Wednesday will be the day that we attack, since it's when those UA students, including Midoriya, will go there, and All Might will be accompanying them."
"So it'll be killing two birds with one stone."
"Exactly."
"When do you want me to get the Nomu ready?"
"Immediately. We only have a day until our missions: kidnap Izuku Midoriya and kill All Might."
"I'll get onto it right away, Shigaraki."
"I knew I could trust you, Kurogiri."
The next day, Izuku woke up earlier than usual, mostly to start working on Momo's new costume, since the previous day, Momo had given Izuku a picture of her current hero costume, so he wanted to get onto it when he could.
"A bit more protection for the legs and knees…" Izuku mumbled to himself as he sketched.
Momo's need for skin exposure for her Quirk was doable, but she was clearly very uncomfortable with her chest being sexualised. So Izuku had made a modified top for the redesign. It would provide support like a sports bra while covering Momo's breasts and neck. A zipper would hold the top closed; but also make it possible to create more skin exposure if absolutely necessary. This would also leave the majority of her back exposed, the largest amount of surface area on the human body, so she could easily create larger items.
The shorts he'd sketched would cover more than her current leotard did as well. They went down to just above mid-thigh and had a utility belt stitched onto them, allowing Momo to carry supplies into the field. This left her stomach fully exposed from just under the top down to her hips, another large skin surface area she could use for bigger creations. This left more of her arms revealed for making small items on the fly. He also incorporated some elbow pads to protect the joint and enable Momo to throw elbow strikes with more force if necessary.
Finally he was finishing up his sketch with her boots. The ones she currently had were heeled, which wasn't as practical for Momo's mobility. So he'd made the design with standard soles and had them go up to just under her knee. The sketch added shin guards to protect her legs, and allow the option of more damaging kicks. A set of kneepads to protect her joints and he felt the design was complete. Momo was covered and protected better, but still had her back, stomach, and most of her arms and legs completely exposed for her Quirk.
After he finished his design, Izuku went out for his morning run. Though, this time, it would be different. Izuku wore longer pants, so he could hide the fact that he was using Engine, aka his new quirk he had gotten from his second best friend. Izuku wanted to train it, so he could control it better.
Plus, it would be useful for running or fighting, especially if he ever needed to flee from something, like, say, a building that was about to fall down.
Today he would focus on strengthening his speed, so he could avoid falling flat on his face after running laps. His endurance was also important, though it didn't hurt his overall agility in a fight, so he was already improving his stamina levels. The training he was doing was a nice distraction, and he found that he liked having his mind focused on something. It allowed him to keep his emotions and thoughts in check during his workouts.
Once he got home and changed clothes, he headed downstairs to watch TV. Izuku loved watching the news and staying up-to-date with the world. It seemed to calm and ease him enough to relax.
The latest story on the news was about the press trespassing onto UA yesterday, and that they would be forced to apologise to the entire staff for causing an entire ruccus.
"Heh, serves them right." Izuku chuckled, taking notes about most of the stories covered.
"As for the disintegration of the UA barrier, the cause of it is currently unknown, but what is known at the moment, all is known is that someone with a decaying quirk is behind this. But who? It's unknown about the true details of this, but we are confident it is a villain." The anchorman reported.
After Izuku had gotten ready for school, he and Katsuki had walked there, having a pleasant discussion, which was mostly just Izuku infodumping about what he saw on the news. Katsuki listened quietly with great interest and nodded occasionally, letting Izuku continue speaking. By the time Izuku entered the classroom, Katsuki was already seated and waiting for their teacher to arrive.
Izuku sat down and started writing in his notebook.
After a few more minutes pass, Momo walks into the classroom. Izuku sees her and runs up to her.
"Good morning, Yaoyorozu, I finished the design sketch, if you want to look at it." Izuku smiled.
The moment she registered his words her eyes lit up and she appeared to have sparkles around her as she almost bounced in excitement.
"Thank you, Midoriya!" Momo smiled brightly at him.
When Momo opened the notebook to the marked page she was stunned. There she was on the page, very well drawn, in a Hero Costume that looked every bit as good as what a Professional Support Company could design.
"Midoriya… I had no idea you were so talented at sketching and design." Momo was very surprised with the amount of effort the broccoli boy had put in the design.
Izuku rubbed the back of his head and fought against the smile that tried it's hardest to form. He wasn't exactly used to getting compliments from people, especially smart people like Momo
"I've just had a lot of practice sketching over the years." Izuku waved off trying less and less to hide the smile that was forming on his face.
Momo smiled back, and then said, "Well, it looks wonderful! I can't wait to give it to the support company so they can upgrade my costume!" She gave a thumbs up.
Izuku smiled at this. Maybe for once, he could belong somewhere and not get bullied for simply being different from everyone else. Not everyone has a quirk that would belong to a villain, after all. Oh, and then there was his autism as well.
It looks like the League of Villains has plans for Midoriya and All Might. And it looks like Momo will be getting a new costume, Soo! And Izuku is also starting to find a sense of belonging within his new friends.
And to respond to the reviews in a fancy way: to paperweight04, I agree that honey can be too sweet sometimes, once I had some honey and it was so sweet, it tasted like sweet cardboard. To ZedArchie, fuck you. You were right about me being gay and autistic, but I'll never be a boy. Im a Non-binary person for crying out loud, if you can't accept that, fuck off. Also i share my lesbian pride with anyone that isn't directly associated with the deleted troll user in a bad way. And you're also racist apparently. I don't condone racism in the reviews in my fanfics. Also if you claim that the greatest fanfiction user of all time's account has been banned, then why am I still here? Like it's a genuine question. Everyone knows that I'm the greatest fanfiction user on this site. To Guest #1, I'm not going to say it right away since it'll be revealed later who I might pair him with, also before I do, this following sentence is a PSA: "Don't always think that someone will be paired up with someone in a fanfic. This can be for a number of reasons, such as:
• The author has not figured out if there will be romance in the fic.
• The author doesn't want to focus on romance in their fanfic.
• Or the author wants to have aromantic representation in their fic.
So please don't ask about romance in a fic, unless the user has stated that they want to focus on romance in that fic." This has been a Public Service Announcement by yours truly. Also the hint is: KB + EK
You're all going to have to put up with underlined text for the rest of the responses, since I can't find a way to turn it off. So if I have to deal with it, then so do y'all.
To Guest #2, I'm going to assume that you're Omni, if so, I've been meaning to chat with you, to say that I sincerely apologise to how I insulted you and other harmful shit I have done to you. How have you been btw? I'm definitely excited about the fact that the user troll person has finally been deleted, since at the start of the year, I jokingly said that the user troll will get banned this year. Lol
Ok, so I finally managed to turn the underlined text off, thank goodness. So now for the last response, because I think this response section is longer than the actual chapter now. To Ryuujin96, thank you for your opinion. And in this AU fic, I think Izuku sort of sees Katsuki as a big brother of sorts. And I used the quotes section of the TV Tropes page "It's Ok To Cry", and a line of an asmr comfort audio about overstimulation, to quote, "I won't judge you. I'm proud of you. If this is how you have to get out your emotions, this is the healthiest way you can do it. It's ok."
And speaking of crying, there's a quote by Fred Rodgers that's about crying that inspired that line of dialogue by Bakugo. To quote:
"People have said, 'Don't cry' to other people for years and years, and all it has ever meant is, 'I'm too uncomfortable when you show your feelings. Don't cry.' I'd rather have them say, 'Go ahead and cry. I'm here to be with you.'"
— Fred Rogers
Now something else that I'd like to say is thank you to whoever is reading this as I've noticed that this story is getting really well-liked, or at least in my own fanfiction standards. So thank you to anyone who as taken time out of their day to read this. I hope that one day this fanfiction will maybe one day get it's own TV Tropes page under the My Hero Academia Fan Works!
Now remember... Go beyond... Plus Ultra!
