"Hey! Up here!" Kirishima screamed to Bakugo down below. All Might would have to take the heat from the League of Villains. Whether or not a Nomu would chase them- they didn't know. They had to get their friend back.

Katsuki took off like a rocket. He was sweating so badly. It was muggy down below on the battleground and he was terrified. Not that he knew that- as far as Bakugo knew: he was angry- at himself, mostly, but Shigaraki, too. After all these years he was sent on becoming a hero, someone thought he'd make a better villain. He owed Midoriya an apology... and All Might? Well he deserved some thanks... if he made it out alive.

Sometimes the students called it "Dadding Out" or simply called Mr. Aizawa "Dadzawa." These were in reflection of the moments when the seemingly careless Shota Aizawa, or pro-hero Eraserhead, took great pain in the care and keeping of young heroes-to-be in line. Midoriya knew that he was in deep hell for sneaking off school grounds with Tenya, Shoto, Eijirio, and Momo. Would they get a spanking? Probably not- but only having a *probably* didn't feel good. And whom would they return to? Erasherhead or Dadzawa?

The kids watched from the street in their new costumes as All Might fought heavily. In the end- he won- extinguishing the flame of One for All.

"Who will be our NEW number ONE hero?!" The reporters cried.

Todoroki leaned against the cab door as the streets thinned out. "My dad's gonna explode."

"Congratulations. Endeavor is now the highest ranked hero in Japan." Iidya said, softly. (Midoriya was still sniffling and crying.)

"Yeah." Shoto replied. "Thanks."

He was anxious and didn't say anything more. Shoto knew his father. And he was a monster who felt prideful needs to EARN things- things being "fame" and "pride", not "love from his kids" and especially not love or respect from Shoto. Enji Todoroki EXPECTED more from Shoto.

"Where WERE you?" Dadzawa asked, arms crossed. "Why do you look like that?"

No one spoke.

Eraserhead sighed. "Iida, Yaoyurozu, Kirishima- go to bed. NOW." He turned. "You two. Follow me."

Midoriya nodded, solemnly and tiredly, he followed his teacher into the school infirmary, where Toshinori Sensei was being tended to.

"You should go to an actual hospital." Katsuki spat as he stumbled upon the sight of All Might limping to meet them. "And, like, now."

"All Might!" Izuku breathed, offering an arm for Toshinori to lean on. "Please, let's get you back to bed."

"I'm hardly injured." All Might lied, standing in his gangly limp form. Midoriya helped him turn around and get to his bed. He looked at the kids. "Are YOU TWO okay?" He asked, turning the question on them.

The teens both nodded.

"Alright." Aizawa came in, breaking up the moment. "Midoriya, bed. You've seen All Might. He is still alive, and if I catch you sneaking out again- I will not say the same for you. Got to bed. You have a disciplinary session in the morning."

Deku squeaked. "Ah! But can't you spank me AFTER classes?!"

"No." Aizawa said. "And you'd better hope that you don't get Mic as your disciplinarian."

Izuku scratched the back of his head and was about to ask but found he was too scared to. Luckily, if anything could be considered "lucky" at the prospect of a spanking, Aizawa explained. "You'll have to write a paper if you get Mic."

"That's not so-"

"In English." Aizawa added.

Izuku groaned. He straightened up. "Okay. I'll see you tomorrow morning."

"Ok." Shota nodded, staring down his student.

Midoriya walked across the campus of his school to the dorms building and took the stairs two-at-a-time, before punching in the code to his room and crashing on his bed. He checked his phone.

Ow. -Kirishima

You went before me and you're still complaining?-Iidya

It BURNS. -Kirishima

Midnight's got a heavy hand.- Yaoyurozu

Just wait. It'll burn for you, too.- Kirishima

Where's Shoto?- Iidya

He's up now with Mic.- Yaoyurozu

Can you extras STOP BLOWING UP MY PHONE.- Bakugo

How're you doing?- Yaoyurozu

It's not fair. We didn't fight!- Kirishima

We broke a rule. Several. - Iidya

Katsuki. How are you?- Yaoyurozu

Yeah, man.^^- Kirishima

We were worried.- Iidya

Ow.- Todoroki

Told you!- Kirishima

I didn't say anything. I'm not in pain. That was Shoto.- Iidya

Wait for itttttt.- Kirishima

Izuku got off the phone. He knew that everyone was worried about Kacchan but he decided to go directly to go see his friend since he wouldn't make a public statement in the group chat on his safety. Midoriya knocked. Bakugo answered.

"Kacchan, I-"

He was on the phone. He held up a hand for Izuku to wait a moment before he hung up. "Goodnight, mom."

"Are you okay, Kacchan?" Midoriya asked.

"What the hell are you on about?" Katsuki growled. "First my mom and now YOU." He said, especially bitterly at the "you" part.

"It's okay not to be okay."Midoriya rushed, as Bakugo turned away. "Because I'm not okay and-"

"Well I've always been stronger than you. Have a night, Deku." Katsuki said, closing the door.

Midoriya turned on his heel and left to go to his room, where he wept until he fell asleep. In the morning, he was late to meet with Aizawa. He would have to skip breakfast, so he did. He walked down endless halls that once confused him. Now he knew where to go and even shortcuts. However, he took the longest path possible to meet his Sensei. He was in for a spanking.

Izuku hadn't had more than a single paddling the entire semester and it was humiliating. He recalled being so embarassed as he stripped down to just his uniform shirt and bent over Aizawa's office couch. He promised himself that he'd never end up there again but because his friend was safe, he had no regrets.

A knock. Shota Aizawa looked up and crossed the office to open the door. He allowed Midoriya in and told the teen to undress below the belt after the door was fully closed and locked. He had paperwork to do for the discipline session and completed it before having Midoriya sign. Fifteen paddle thwacks later, he was free to go to class, but Kacchan wasn't there.

Mic took over their classes that morning. When Bakugo returned, Aizawa was also back. Apparently Katsuki had some major flip out that morning and had to be sedated by Midnight Sensei. Izuku disliked the gossip, but was, admittedly, curious.

Everything went back to normal when Katsuki returned. The teachers made sure that it did- Denki was dismissed from class for a "talk" with Aizawa, who brought a ruler to the hallway, and Denki was rubbing out his ass when he got back. It was the same behavior as if their friend wasn't almost recruited or murdered by villains.

It was fine for everyone... except... it wasn't.
