I can not thank you all enough for your lovely reviews! I am amazed at the reception for this story and hope you all enjoy Makoto's journey at UA.

I wiped down the expresso bar with a clean cloth, polishing the stainless-steel machine. It was strangely dead for a Thursday evening. Usually, we would have a table or two of students from the local university studying, or an awkward first date of two high school students. The only people in the shop were myself, my boss in the kitchen prepping baked goods for tomorrow, and an older gentleman reading the paper with an espresso macchiato.

The bell on the door chimed. "Welcome," I smiled, turning to face the door. I froze it was Aizawa. I was done for.

"I knew I recognized you," he walked over to the black granite countertop and sat on a stool, eyeing me behind the machine.

"W-what can I get you," I tried to keep my forced smile and put down the cloth.

"You're only fifteen right, that's too young to be working." Aizawa took out a hundred-yen coin. That was the cost for a single shot of espresso. I recognized him. He had been here at night previously, always came in for a shot of espresso quickly and left. "The school also has rules against students taking part-time jobs outside of summer." I queued his shot. The man reading the paper folded it, sat it down on the table, and left.

I kept my eyes on the espresso pouring. "I need this job, so I have a place to live." I took the small espresso cup and set it down in front of him.

"Don't you live with your grandmother and sister?" I nodded.

My boss came out of the backroom with flour on her face and in her salt and pepper hair. "Oh – Eraserhead, you're not the type to strike up conversations."

He tipped the cup slightly with his finger as he pointed to me, "she's one of my students, Haruka."

My boss' face fell. "You need to let her keep her job and attend school. If not, you better be prepared to take her in!"

"Why is that?"

"Her witch of a grandmother makes her work and spend her pay on rent, tuition, and whatever else she needs. Won't spare a dime to make life easier for her."

"Does she make her sister work."

"Please! She gets doted on because she's exactly like her dead daughter. That girls gets everything handed to her."

"You wouldn't have a place to live if you stopped working?" Aizawa turned his attention to me. I stared at the patterns in the countertop and nodded. He sighed. "You would give her time off to attend her internship in two weeks – and for a summer training camp?"

Mrs Haruka scoffed, "of course, her school always comes first. Give me the dates in advance, and we'll switch her shifts around."

"Very well. I'll short out something with Principal Nezu for an exemption. Though – Satoshi, you will be able to make money with a work-study once you obtain your provisional license. That'll be more beneficial for you." Aizawa shot back his espresso in one smooth motion. "See you in class tomorrow." He threw down a bill and swiftly exited the shop.

Mrs Haruka poked my shoulder. "I think he pitied you, so he left a tip for once." I watched the door carefully before picking up the bill. My stomach churned. He left five thousand yen. I placed the large bill with the coins in the jar at the till.

I sat at my desk, head down annotating my textbook notes with those from our lectures this morning. Aizawa looked at us, boredly from his podium. "Today's training will be a little different. You'll have three instructors – me, All Might, and another faculty member will be keeping tabs on you. You'll be working on rescue training, natural disasters, shipwrecks, stuff like that. What you wear in this exercise is up to you. I know how you get excited about costumes. Be aware though; they might limit your abilities. This special training is at an off-campus facility, so we'll take a bus to get there. Change into whatever you want and meet out front."

I got up after the majority of the class had grabbed their cases. Weird, I couldn't find my case. I returned it after last class.

"Satoshi – All Might had yours sent back for a remake. We need to ensure that all of you stays covered for when you use your quirk." Aizawa sighed, rolling his head to the side. "Just avoid going above the knee today." I wanted to hide in a hole – but nodded, going off to change into my gym clothes. Whatever rescue training we were doing, I would need to make sure that I did not dissipate too much. Iida and the others from Soumei had unfortunately been witness to that.

I quickly changed into my gym uniform. Thankfully Bakugo had destroyed Midoriya's in our training the other day, so he wore his as well. I sat in the back corner of the bus, watching through my bangs as everyone happily interacted.

"Bakugo and Todoroki already have cool and flashy pro-hero quirks," the red-haired Kirishima spoke loudly. "Plus – Satoshi has that cool item melting quirk."

"Oh?" That got Midoriya's attention. "What's does her quirk do?"

Kirishima shrugged, "something about matter and elements or something. I don't understand exactly what she does."

The boy who approached me yesterday started to speak up, "it's like that serious guy from-"

"You'll see each other's quirks again later." Aizawa interrupted him, eyeing me in the back, "we're here, so stop messing around." We shortly pulled up to a sizeable doomed building. The space hero Thirteen stood out front. We all filed off the bus, entering the premise behind our teachers. There was diverse terrain throughout the dome. I watched Thirteen excitedly explain the benefits and dangers of our quirks. I was more than well aware of how dangerous my quirk is. Unless I knew the exact composition of an item, I would not be able to reconstitute it. Living things were especially tricky. One single cell out of place and I could kill – that was why I never used my quirk on anyone other than myself.

The lights crackled as they went out. What was going on? Thirteen and Aizawa looked on edge as they whispered between themselves.

"Is the training already happening? I thought we were rescuing people," Kirishima asked.

"Stay back!" Aizawa snapped, "those are actual villains. Kaminari – use your quirk to contact the school. Thirteen, protect the students!" I looked around the class; everyone was stiff and anxious – to varying degrees. This same feeling of being surrounded by villains reminded me of when I was a kid. I felt comfortable, not worried. I swallowed, holding myself tighter. Why did not I feel scared?

Aizawa snapped his goggles into place and leapt down the stairs. I could not see what he was doing against the villains from my spot at the back of the class. Thirteen rushed the class towards the main door. I watched as they ran past me, a large man wrapped in a dark purple smog appeared in front of the main doors.

"There is no escape for you. It's a pleasure to meet you. We are the league of villains. I know it's impolite, but we decided to invite ourselves into this haven of justice to say hello. Isn't this a fitting place for All Might – the symbol of peace to take his last breath? I believe he was supposed to be here today and yet I see no sign of him. There must have been some change in plans we could not have foreseen. Ah well, in the end, I suppose it doesn't matter. I still have a role to play." The man spoke in a deep, calm voice. He must have thought highly of himself.

Kirishima and Bakugo leapt up and tried to attack the man, but he was nothing more than dust – unable to be touched. His tendrils flew out over the class in front of me. In a moment, most of them disappeared. All that remained were the anti-gravity girl, Iida, and four other students.

"Akari – you have your mother's quirk, don't you?" Thirteen spoke, back turned to me. Iida looked back at me with a frown.

"Akari's my sister, but yes, she does," I replied slowly. Thirteen probably wanted my sister to use her quirk to travel to the school quickly. Even though my quirk was very similar to hers, it would take me ten times longer than she would have taken. Iida would get there faster.

"Very well. Class Rep, I've got a job for you then. Run to the school and tell the faculty what's going on here. The alarms aren't sounding, and phones and radios are useless. One of these villains must be to blame. Even though Eraser is cancelling people's quirks, left and right, we're still completely sealed off from the outside world. They could be anywhere. It'll be faster for you to run and get help." Thirteen ordered. "Use your quirks to save others!" Everyone was cheering Iida on. Thirteen tried to syphon the villain away using her black hole, but he created a wrap behind herself. Iida was able to rush past him and out the door – but Thirteen was seriously injured.

I held onto my shoulder with my right arm and held onto my elbow with my left. I stared back at Aizawa, trying and failing to fight against the large black creature that was attacking him. He had taken down almost all the villains that appeared near the stairs.

"Satoshi – we need to try to get help," the brunette anti-gravity girl who had tried to speak out against Aizawa during our initial quirk assessment stood beside me.

I swallowed hard before speaking, "when this is over – would you mind bringing me my clothes?" I kept my gaze fixated on the ground. I needed to help.

"Uh," she froze, her eyes swirling in confusions. "Okay?" I sighed and let my body breakdown. I wish that All Might would've at least kept the suit. I could handle not having boots. I rematerialized in the air behind the blue-haired villain from the chest up. I smacked the back of his head and let my cells breakdown again. I watched as he spun around, looking for what hit him. I reappeared near his feet, pulling his leg out from under him. He stumbled forward but did not fall. I snuck around to his other side and stole one the hands that adorned his body. I dissipated it as well. I shifted the molecules around into a porcelain knife. My arm reappeared near the villain Aizawa was fighting and stabbed the creature in the back. My arm disappeared. I watched as the knife fell out of his back, the wound healing as it dropped.

Aizawa's arms were broken and blood-splattered outward from where the creature had smashed his face into the ground. I could not use my quirk to breakdown and remake other living beings. But if this man could regenerate and heal – maybe I would not be so evil if I used it on him. I might be kicked out for this, but I needed to try to help my teacher. I grabbed onto the massive creature, breaking him down.

"What, where did Nomu go?" The blue-haired man looked around.

Aizawa let out a chuckle, "good job, Satoshi." I resculpted the man twenty feet away, his legs from the knees down stuck into the concrete. I reappeared from the hips up with my back to Aizawa. My front was utterly exposed to the blue-haired man. My arms floated up beside me, ready to attack or defend. The creature was still. Come on, regenerate.

The man sneered, "so you're his daughter. I was wondering what became of you. How pitiful, you want to be a hero. You're supposed to be on our side."

I cracked my neck. "Supposed to and will are two very different things." I frowned.

Aizawa groaned in pain behind me, "don't let him touch you." I let my body dissipate. My atoms flowed towards him, my hand materializing in time to land a blow to his stomach before dematerializing once more. I shifted my atoms around him, landing an open-handed smack to the back of his head. He doubled over with laughter. I reformed behind him from the neck up.

"You and your father are both such jerks," he said before his laughter escalated to maniacal. The creature ripped it's legs off at the knee, their legs reforming from their regeneration. He dragged himself towards Aizawa slowly. The blue-haired man began to run to the left. I turned to follow his trajectory. Midoriya and two other students were in the water watching us. The small boy with purple hair was drooling – his eyes rolled back in his head. Shit. What could I do? "Let's make this hurt!"

From Aizawa's warning, his quirk had something to do with touch. He seemed pretty concerned with avoiding any contact with him. The large creature appeared to be acting mindlessly. With its muscle structure, he had to be naturally strong too. I saw Aizawa's eyes flicker to the left. I nodded, dissipating again. I reformed my leg, aiming a kick to his head, but it was stopped by the giant creature.

"He does whatever I order him to," the blue-haired man sneered. My leg dissipated, pain throbbing through me. I needed to stay broken down. I could not let myself reform yet. His fingers touched the girl's face. "Why are you so damn cool?!" It was Aizawa – he had erased his quirk.

I dissipated my leg again, reforming my top half behind the blue-haired villain and grabbed onto his legs. I rushed backwards, pulling him away from the girl. Midoriya jumped out of the water, his fist glowing, and punched the creature in the gut. His punch did nothing. What was that creature? A large portal opened below him, sucking him through. I let go of his legs and watched as he and the warper from earlier stood at the base of the fountain once again.

The door to USJ slammed open, "I am here!" It was All Might! I kept my gaze on the two villains – All Might would need to take down the creature, but I could keep these two occupied. I dissipated into the air, popping up at the feet of the two. I poked them in their side before disappearing. I kept reappearing and disappearing – keeping their attention on me while All Might rescued the three students and Aizawa from the brain-exposed creature.

I popped out of the ground, making a face at the two villains. They both tried to attack me, only for me to dissipate into the shadows. This was beginning to be a little too entertaining. I heard All Might cry out. I reformed my top half behind the two and slapped their backs before disappearing. All Might was trapped in a suplex with half of the creature split between two warp gates. The beast was trying to pull All Might into the ground. Oh no, were they trying to do what I had done to the creature earlier? All Might could not regenerate, he would die if they managed that.

"Die!" I watched as Bakugo leapt on top of the warper, holding him by the metal neck guard. I let my leg reappear for a moment to land a kick to the blue-haired villain's stomach. Ice began to cover the creature. Damn it – I needed to be more selective of what I let reform now. Three more students, in addition to Bakugo, arrived. Kirishima moved to attack the blue-haired villain. I reformed my hand in front of him to stop him. He jumped back with a yelp. The creature let go of All Might, it's right side shattering with the ice. It stood as its limbs regenerated.

I reformed my head near All Might. He held his bleeding side, "he has super strength, speed, and regeneration. Aizawa couldn't erase his quirk, and even my quirk does nothing on him." I saw Midoriya's horrified face from the corner of my eye.

"Thank you, Young Satoshi – you did a great job keeping them occupied and gathering information." All Might smiled, giving me a thumbs up. The creature rushed towards Bakugo. All Might was gone in a moment. I sighed, breaking down into atoms again. Bakugo had been moved out of the way from their attack, and he had taken the blow instead. "These are just kids, and you didn't hold back?" He let out a pained cough.

The blue-haired man laughed, lifting his arms, "I didn't have much of choice – he was threatening my companion. Besides, these kids are not angels. The girl, she tried to kill my friend here. She is suited to be a villain, after all, guess she proved that. No hero does something like that. Why are some violent acts heroic, and others are villainous?" I reformed my hand behind him, slapping him across the back of the head before disappearing. "Will you stop that? You're beginning to piss me off! Kill them!" The creature rushed at the other students. All Might ran in, punching the creature repeatedly. Dust billowed up. In a moment, the top of the dome exploded outward. The creature was done and gone.

"Surrender villains," All Might roared.

"How could you? My Nomu," the villain began to seethe. Oh no. All Might was smoking from his attacks. Even his muscles must be sore from those repeated quick punches. The villain took a step forward, and I reformed my leg at his feet. His foot caught on my leg, and he stumbled forward. "I said, stop pissing me off! Stop playing and fight me!" I broke down my leg. He turned around, kicking at the dirt.

"Shigaraki – look. All Might looks like he is done and our comrades are regaining their strength." The warper spoke. He was right, the villains Aizawa had taken out earlier were beginning to stand up. Shigaraki rushed All Might again. I let my hands reappear and grabbed onto his legs, pulling him back.

"I told you to stop that!" He scrambled to his feet, hand poised to attack me. A bang rang out. He grabbed onto his shoulder. Another bang and he was on the ground. The warper opened a portal, and the two were gone in a second. All of the teachers from the school were stationed at the top of the stairs. They stood there for a moment before rushing in to help round up the rest of the villains. I smiled, letting myself reappear.

I let out a long breath – they were finally gone. No more playing whack-a-mole with me. I watched as the blonde-haired boy with grenades on his wrists stalked towards me. He stopped in front of me and turned around, "hey, Kirishima!" The red-haired boy began to turn to face us, "stop that you bastard! Go back up the stairs and grab Satoshi some clothes."

I looked down at myself, "aw shit." I quickly tried to cover myself with my hands, pushing my face into my shoulder to hide my embarrassment. I was used to shedding my clothes when I used my quirk – but this was a whole new group of people.

"Does this always happen," he spoke after a moment. I looked up; his head was staring straight ahead of himself. His jaw and fists were clenched.

I nodded. Idiot, he can't see you nodding. "Yeah." I heard footsteps quickly approaching.

"Hey, you two bastards! Turn around and walk backwards," Bakugo ordered. I waited a moment before peering over his shoulder. Uraraka and Kirishima were slowly walking backwards, my clothes in a neat pile in her hands while he carried my shoes. Bakugo put his hands out to stop them, taking my clothes first and held them out to the side for me to get dressed as quickly as I could. He handed back my shoes, as well.

"T-thanks," I muttered, staring at the ground.

Uraraka spun around, put her face in my line of sight, "that was amazing Satoshi! It's so cool that you jumped right in to help. You're so strong!"

"Uh-thanks," I forced a smile on my face.

"Hey, you're not hurt are you," Kirishima asked, starting to turn around. Bakugo threw his arm over his shoulders and started to walk off with him. I watched them walk away before fast walking to the entrance. Uraraka kept my pace. I tried to run from her, but she ran as well. Why would she not let me flee like I always did? She replayed the fight, throwing punches at the air. The rest of the class were waiting outside the main doors.

"Satoshi," the small purple-haired boy looked up at me, drooling, "your breasts are beautiful." I quickly whipped my hair into my face and stalked away from everyone, hiding my embarrassment. Why was there always at least one pervert in every class?

"Makoto," a high-pitched voice screamed as they bear-hugged me. "I came with Vlad the moment they said villains were attacking you! Is my little sister okay, they didn't hurt you, did they?" Akari pulled back and tried to examine me.

"I'm fine," I frowned as she circled me.

She hugged me tightly again, "I am so glad you're okay! How did you hide so well from them?" I shrugged and let her ramble on.
