Chapter 13: Fire and Ice
Shoto stared at the triangle. He knew that Katsuki called him the "Triangle Bastard" but didn't think he was an actual triangle.
"Hey are you going to keep staring?" asked Bill.
"Why do you look like the Eye of Provence?" asked Shoto.
Bill sighed, "You know… you're the first person to mention that in a long time… most people call me Dorito or Nacho! But no! You get it…"
"Get out of here." Said Shoto.
"No!" said Bill.
Shoto tried to use his quirk but Bill just pointed it the ice form and it turned into a horrifying bug monster.
"You know Endeavor's Kid…" said Bill.
"Don't call me that…" he growled out.
"What? Can't take it… and oh man… he doesn't know what you found out." Laughed Bill, "To know how sick All Might is… and yet you do… that he's going to retire one day leaving your dear old dad number 1… That all the pain that he did you, your mother and your brother was all for nothing…" mocked Bill.
Shoto glared at the triangle.
"Is that all you want to talk about?" he muttered.
"Of course I'm not here to talk…" said Bill, "Just give you nightmares until you break…"
"What?" asked Shoto.
And that was when suddenly he found himself in a burning room.
A couple days later, Izuku was just staring at his celling floating above his bed.
It was the day that he would get back to school.
Due to the events at the USJ they took a few days off so that they fix security come up with new protocols and also talk about Bill.
None of the Zodiac went to the meeting and it was just Ford and Dipper as it more about telling the staff.
He did get a several texts from Ochaco and Tenya, a couple from Mezo, Kirishima and Hagakure,
But what concerned him was that he got none from Shoto.
Katsuki had been over, complaining about various things or trying to do something with him.
"Come on Izuku!" said Mabel barging into him room, "Don't be such a mopey dope and get up!"
"Mabel! Knock!" yelled Izuku as he filled in the in the air.
"I'm not using my precious corporal time to knock on your door silly!" laughed Mabel.
Izuku sighed.
"Don't listen to what Bill said! He's a huge jerk who's trying to get you down!" said Mabel poking his cheek.
"I know…" sighed Izuku.
"Come on you have school! And remember if you miss it the nerds will complain." Said Mabel.
"Yeah…" sighed Izuku.
He put on his school uniform puppet and headed to the living room.
"Morning Mom!" said Izuku.
"Morning honey!" said Inko.
"Hear anything from your classmates?" asked Ford.
"Haven't heard any Bill sightings from Uraraka, Iida or Shoji…." Said Izuku.
"About Shoto?" asked Ford.
"I haven't' heard anything since the USJ." Said Izuku.
"Keep an eye on him..." said Ford.
Izuku nodded.
He got his backpack and flew to school.
A few students were already there.
Including Tsuyu who approached him.
"Midoriya." Said Tsuyu.
"Oh good morning Asui." Said Izuku.
"I told you to call me Tsu." Said Tsuyu.
"Oh sorry…" Izuku gave off a fake laugh.
"It's fine…" said Tsuyu, "But I should really apologize for the other day."
"Apologize for what?" asked Izuku.
"One the bus ride to the USJ." Said Tsuyu, "I tend to speak my mind a lot and I didn't think about if the question I asked you would be insensitive."
"You have nothing to apologize for." Said Izuku, "You were just wondering about everything…"
Tsuyu looked at the air near the puppet, knowing that's probably where Izuku was.
Even though she couldn't see his face she knew he was lying.
But knew that pressing it wouldn't help at all.
"Okay…" she said.
"Deku…" said Katsuki as he entered the room.
"Hey Kacchan." Said Izuku.
"You better not be moping." He muttered.
"I swear I'm not!" cried Izuku.
Katsuki rolled his eyes as he took his seat which was in front of Izuku.
"Hey Midoriya… you feeling okay?" asked Mineta as her arrived and he also sat behind Izuku.
"I'm fine don't worry…" said Izuku.
That was when suddenly he felt someone pat his back.
He flinched mostly because it should be impossible, but it turned out it was Mabel.
That was when Shoto entered the room.
He looked pale and seemed to avoiding eye contact with everyone.
He sat down and got ready for class.
Katsuki was the first notice the look on his face.
"Hey… Icy Hot didn't text at all when we were off did he?" asked Katsuki.
"No…" said Izuku.
"That idiot…" muttered Katsuki.
Eventually everyone was in class and seated.
Well almost.
"Homeroom is about to begin so everyone needs to be seated!" yelled Tenya.
"you're the only one out of your seat." Pointed out Kaminari.
Then Aizawa came into the room.
"So I'm sure that after the USJ I'm sure that you've all experienced real villains." Said Aizawa, "However your fight isn't over yet."
Everyone was nervous by this.
"The sports festival is happening soon." Said Aizawa.
"That's normal school stuff." Said the entire class.
"The school thinks that holding the event would show that the school crisis magnet protocols are sound… or at least that's what they're trying to say. Compared to past years, it have five the police presence as past events."
"Is that really a good idea though after the villain attack?" asked Mineta.
"Oh come on! It's a big deal! They even watch the Sports Festival in the America!" said Mabel becoming visible.
Aizawa sighed at the spirit.
"What really?" asked Kaminari.
"Cool, I didn't know that." Said Ashido.
"She's right, the Olympics used to be the biggest, sporting event, but for Japan at least the UA Sports Festival has replaced it in importance…" said Aizawa.
"Plus there will be scouts watching us." Said Yaoyorozu.
Izuku froze when she said that.
As they talked more and more about how the sports festival was a way to get noticed, Izuku tuned it out more and more and Bill's words echoed in his head about how there was no way he could ever be a hero.
Mabel saw the look on Izuku face as she was the only one who could.
She gritted her teeth as she realized that Bill's words were getting to him.
Later the second that lunch rolled around, Katsuki grabbed Shoto and dragged him out the room.
"What was that about?" asked Ashido.
"Who knows…" said Jiro.
Shortly afterward Izuku snuck out of the room, hoping no one would notice him leave and try to stop him.
The fact he was missing wasn't until Ochaco was hyping everyone up for the Sports festival in a very scary way…
"All right! Deku! Iida!" yelled Ochaco.
That was when she noticed the that the floating puppet wasn't in the room.
"Wait… I don't think Midoriya's in here." Said Ojiro.
"I think I saw him floating out of the room right when lunch started." Said Ashido, "I think he was in a hurry."
"Mabel…" said Ochaco.
"Sorry… he's really good at slipping away…" said Mabel appearing, "I'm sure whatever he's doing it's fine."
In the teacher's office, Izuku was talking to Aizawa.
"Are you sure about this?" asked Aizawa.
"I'm sure… I mean it wouldn't be fair to anyone…" said Izuku.
Aizawa sighed knowing it that he was lying.
"What did Cipher say to you?" asked Aizawa.
"Nothing… I mean he said something to me but really it was nothing…" said Izuku.
Aizawa sighed, he could tell he was lying. But could tell that whatever Bill said to him the damage was deep.
"Fine, but you have to participate in the reactional games…" said Aizawa.
"Okay…" sighed Izuku.
Elsewhere in the school building.
"What do you want Bakugo?" asked Shoto.
"You think I didn't notice you idiot?" asked Katsuki, "I recognized the look you had on your face the moment you came into class! You have to tell Deku!"
"Tell him what?" asked Shoto.
"That Cipher has been invading your dreams!" yelled Katsuki.
"He hasn't." said Shoto.
"Don't lie! Or did you forget he did the same to me!" yelled Katsuki, "And lying and keeping it yourself will only cause more problems!"
"He's not in my dreams." Said Shoto.
"Yeah right!" yelled Katsuki, "Or did you forget that he outright said that he was trying to get me to kill to kill myself when he did the same to me!"
Shoto narrowed his eyes as at Katsuki.
"It's not happening." He said.
"Oh and having breakdowns are completely normal." Said Katsuki.
"He hasn't been bothering me…" muttered Shoto going to leave, "And I'm fine…"
Katsuki could tell he was lying.
"If you say so Icy Hot." muttered Katsuki.
He was going to tell Izuku on his own.
Knowing him, Izuku was going to help no matter what.
He soon joined the usual lunch group where Izuku told them why he left the classroom.
"You're seriously not going to participate in the sports festival?" asked Ochaco surprised.
"No…" said Izuku.
"Why not?" asked Tenya.
"It's because it wouldn't be fair to anyone…" said Izuku, "If I use one of my robot bodies it just wouldn't be fair… I mean I can't get tired and it takes a lot of to damage them. And using one of my puppets…"
"There's no other option?" asked Ochaco.
"Well there's The Suit…" said Izuku, "But…"
(Flashback)
The old woman wouldn't stop hitting him with her purse… she had already whacked him 10 times with it.
"Please stop!" cried Izuku.
The old woman still just whacked him with the purse.
(End of Flashback)
"The fucking thing shouldn't be allowed on national television." Muttered Katsuki, "Or even exist at all…"
Izuku made sure that his puppet nodded.
"Is that really the reason?" asked Tenya.
"It is! I swear!" said Izuku.
"Deku…" muttered Katsuki.
"Please not I'm lying! I swear! Besides you all need the chances to prove yourselves I'll be fine." Said Izuku.
They all knew he was lying.
Katsuki however just gritted his teeth.
A nearby table, Shoto ate alone.
"Hey!" said Dipper appearing.
"I'm not in the mood to talk." Said Shoto.
"Okay…" said Dipper.
He walked away, he recognized the look on his face.
He knew that Bill was going into his dreams and giving him nightmares.
That afternoon after school when they decided to leave for the day they all saw that the door was surrounded by people from other classes.
"What?" asked Izuku.
"What are they doing here?" asked Mineta.
"Isn't obvious, they want to see the class that fought real villains." Muttered Katsuki.
He grabbed Izuku by the puppet and began to drag him out of the room.
"Out of the way cannon fodder! We got something important to do!" yelled Katsuki.
"Don't call them cannon fodder!" yelled Tenya.
"It's true then… the hero course Students really are modest." Said a very sarcastic voice, "Are all of you in the hero course like this?"
That was when a boy with lavender hair and bags under his eyes moved through the large crowd of students.
Durring this Katsuki ended up letting go of Izuku's puppet.
"Got to say I'm disillusioned. Those of us who couldn't make in the hero course when to General Studies or the other tracks. There's quite a few of us you know that right. Depending on the results of the sports festival they might offer us a place in the hero course. And I understand the reverse is possible for you…" said the boy with the lavender hair.
Izuku flinched when he said that.
However with exception of Shoto, all those that heard Bill's speech to Izuku all got angry.
The boy was about to continued his speech when he saw the glares… absolutely angry glares that the spoke of death.
It was even more terrifying because of the short boy and the fact that none could even see the eyes of the invisible girl.
Their classmates knew right away that whatever Bill said at the USJ was something similar to what he was saying.
"Good luck then…" said Izuku.
"What?" asked the lavender haired boy.
"I'm probably going to get…" said Izuku.
"Don't you DARE finish that sentence." Growled Katsuki.
He then grabbed Izuku's puppet and once again dragged him out of the room.
"Kacchan!" cried Izuku.
"DON'T LISTEN TO THE TRIANGLE BASTARD!" yelled Katsuki, "HE'S TRYING TO GET INTO YOU HEAD AND YOU KNOW THAT! HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT!"
Izuku didn't say anything as he we dragged.
"Now come on we have more important things to do…" he muttered as they got out of the crowd.
The crowd was very confused but let them pass, especially after that outburst.
Tenya stepped up.
"As class representative, I will ask you all to please leave." He said very calmly, but it was very clear he was extremely angry.
The lavender hair boy just stared, he was planning to declare war on them… but it was clear he said something wrong and was now on a good chunk of the class' shit list.
He was about to leave.
"Hey wait!" yelled a voice.
He turned around and saw it was Mabel. He like many other students had seen her around… the strange glowing girl in the cafeteria along with a glowing boy.
"What?" he asked.
That was when she "punched" him in the chest, he didn't felt anything he saw her glowing arm was going through his chest.
He was completely frozen.
"I get you're trying to be intimidating and declare war but if you hurt my family again! YOU PAY! GOT IT!" yelled Mabel.
She removed her hand from the boy's chest who was freaking out.
"YOU ALL HEAR ME!" yelled Mabel.
"HOLY! CRAP! THE RUMORS ARE TRUE!" yelled someone in the crowd, "CLASS 1-A IS HAUNTED!"
The crowd began to disperse in fear of the spirit.
Mabel jsut glared harhsly at the boy and he left, unsure how to feel about everything.
Mabel turned around and gave the biggest smile to the class.
"Okay… Mabel is pretty terrifying." Said Kaminari.
"Yeah…" said Jiro.
"You… better not make the hero course look bad!" yelled a guy with silver hair and weird marks around his eyes rather lamely.
Mabel shot a glare him and he flinched.
"Let's not try to anger her ever…" said Ojiro.
"Good idea…" said Sato.
In the hallway, Katsuki found a place to talk.
"Is this about the Sports Festival I swear… it's because of it wouldn't be fair!" said Izuku.
Katsuki sighed but knew had to table it.
"It's not that… it's about Icy Hot." Said Katsuki.
"So…" said Izuku.
"He wasn't up for talking at lunch." Said Dipper appearing.
"What do you have to talk about?" asked Katsuki.
"Something you wouldn't be interested in." said Dipper with a shrug.
"I have to break in his house won't I?" asked Izuku.
"Does it really count as breaking into his house?" asked Katsuki.
Izuku didn't answer.
"And don't bring up Stan's saying about crimes… his dad is a hero so it doesn't count…" said Izuku.
"So you're going to let Icy Hot get tortured…" said Katsuki.
"Of course… I'm just uncomfortable, this isn't like with you…" said Izuku, "Where a member of his family would just brush it off and laugh about it…"
"The hag totally world…" muttered Katsuki.
"But I know I have to do." Said Izuku.
He made a motion for Katsuki to took the puppet.
"Wait…" said Izuku.
"I'll bring your stuff tomorrow including bring this back." Said Katsuki.
Izuku nodded at Dipper.
"He says thanks." Said Dipper.
Katsuki just shrugged.
"Hey Mabel has Shoto left yet?" asked Dipper.
"He's about to leave… if this is about Bill! Go kick his butt!" yelled Mabel.
Dipper went invisible and two followed Shoto.
Dipper had to help Izuku to well… the train ride.
They quickly found him as he switched out shoes and followed him.
After a while they got to his rather large old fashioned house.
"Good luck Izuku." Said Dipper.
Izuku took a breath and followed Shoto into his house.
He was very uncomfortable doing this, especially since it wouldn't be hours until Shoto went to bed, but it wasn't like with Katsuki where he knew where lived.
So he had to keep an eye on him.
He knew had way too much apologizing to do when this was all over.
He watched over Shoto having dinner with his sister and doing his homework. He also watched Todoroki do some training.
He also noticed that during the relief he had when his sister told him his father wouldn't be home until very late at night.
After many hours of waiting Todoroki finally went to bed.
And as soon as he went to sleep he saw a faint shadow of Bill enter Shoto's body, Shoto's eye suddnelly opened and were glowing.
He began to toss and turn.
Izuku knew that it was true and touched Shoto.
He found himself in a dojo. Then he heard a smacking sound.
He turned to see a younger Shoto on the floor in clear pain and trying not to vomit.
In front of him was Endeavor the number 2 hero.
And of course behind Shoto was Bill looming over.
"That's enough Bill!" yelled Izuku.
That was when the dojo shattered, Shoto returned to his normal age and they found themselves in a black and white version of Shoto's room.
"Midoriya?" asked Shoto confused.
Izuku looked at Bill, who just looked at Izuku.
Bill seemed to have a certain glint in his eye.
Izuku looked at Bill, he was a little nervous….
"Hello Freckles… I heard about what happened in class earlier… so it looks like…" said Bill.
However before he could continue his little speech a large piece of ice impaled his eye.
He screamed in pain.
"Fine! I'll leave you alone Endeavor's kid!" yelled Bill.
Bill disappeared from the dream and Izuku breathed a sigh of relief. Shoto looked at Izuku and he jumped.
"I'm sorry for stalking you, breaking into your house and your dreams but I had to stop Bill!" cried Izuku.
"It's fine…" said Shoto staring at Izuku.
"I'll just leave now…" said Izuku.
"Wait…" said Shoto.
"Yeah?" asked Izuku.
"Are you wearing your middle school uniform?" asked Shoto.
Izuku looked down at his clothes and it was clear he still was wearing his middle school uniform.
"Yeah… I asked Dipper about it…" said Izuku.
(Flashback)
"Hey I was wondering something… "said Izuku, "Do you know why my clothes didn't change despite Bill changing them?"
"For some reason if Bill changes clothes t doesn't affect our clothes." Said Dipper.
"He changed his clothes when he was in your body?" asked Izuku.
"It was part of the puppet show." Said Dipper, "For some reason during the wedding scene the priest was a real person and Bill in my body volunteered for the role."
"What?" asked Izuku.
"I don't know…" said Dipper, then realized something, "Hey Mabel! Why did you have you have a real person play the priest?"
"It's a reference to the Muppet Take Manhattan and that wedding scene!" explained Mabel.
"Oh… huh…" said Dipper.
(End of Flashback)
Izuku explained it to Shoto along with the other.
"I see…" said Shoto.
It was clear that Shoto had forgiven him.
"I could have sworn that Kacchan mentioned something about me going into dreams…" said Izuku.
"Maybe he did…" said Shoto.
He did, but Shoto wasn't part of that group.
"Is everything all right?" asked Izuku, "I mean… what I saw… though it could be something Bill made up…"
"It wasn't… he's been making me remember things as well as exporting my fears." Muttered Shoto.
"What do you mean?" asked Izuku.
Shoto sighed knowing he should tell him.
"Do you know what Quirk Marriages are?" asked Shoto.
Izuku paled when he said that.
And Shoto explained it, that his father literally bought his mother who had a very powerful ice quirk from her family in order to create a child powerful enough to one day surpass All Might… And everything was so bad that one day his mother snapped and poured boiling water on his face leaving him with a horrible scare over his eye.
Izuku was horrified.
"That's why I refuse to use my right side in battle… I refuse to his quirk." Said Shoto.
"But is really his quirk?" asked Izuku.
"What?" asked Shoto.
"You were the one born with that power! It's your power, not his." Said Izuku.
Shoto wanted to argue with him… but there were many reasons he didn't want to… the big one being that Izuku would probably be happy with any quirk.
"Also why not use your quirk in ways that he can't." said Izuku, "I mean have you thought of combining your fire and ice to create water or steam?"
Shoto blinked…
"No… I never thought of it." Said Shoto.
"I realized that a few nights ago before the USJ after remembering you've been focusing on your ice." Said Izuku, "I mean there has to be ways to use the two, including creating drinkable water…"
He began to go on a muttered spree talking about of how if Shoto had a enough ice he could use it to create pool of water which can also be heated to burn people (though he quickly retracted that idea due to obvious reasons) and as well as various methods to use steam.
"Midoriya…" said Shoto.
"Oh sorry… Quirk Analysis has always been my hobby…" he said, "And I tend to get really excited when coming up with possible ideas. Also since I can't sleep I have way too much time on my hands…"
"Really?" asked Shoto.
"Yeah… because my dream was always to be a hero…" said Izuku.
He suddenly quieted down.
"Why do you want to be a hero?" asked Shoto.
"Ever since I was little I always looked up to All Might." Said Izuku, "I always watched his debut video and admired him for how he saved people with smile! I wanted to be just like him…"
Izuku sighed and looked at away.
Shoto looked at him and remembered a time he watched a video of All Might with his mother… and she told him to be the type of hero he wanted to be.
The two of them were quiet for a few minutes.
"What's going to have happen when you get your body back…" said Shoto.
"I don't want to talk about it right now…" sighed Izuku.
Shoto knew it probably was good idea, because he did remember that speech Bill gave.
"What's going to happen to the Pines?" asked Shoto.
"It depends." Said Izuku, "If we complete the Zodiac and kill Bill then they'll move on to the afterlife since their job is done…"
"What about if you get your body back on your own?" asked Shoto.
Izuku actually laughed.
(Flashback)
It was a few months after Izuku's body was stolen and Izuku decided to ask Stan and Mabel a question as Dipper and Ford were at UA working on some robot plans.
"What are you going to do when I get my body back?" asked Izuku.
Mabel looked at Izuku and realized what he was really asking.
"Are you trying to get rid of us?" she asked.
"What?" asked Izuku confused.
"On come on Green Bean! You're practically family to us now." Laughed Stan, "And if it's something you have to know about us Pines is that we care about our family!"
"Ford will probably keep an eye on possible Bill targets and Dipper will probably often help him! But we will visit often!" said Mabel.
"You ain't getting rid of kid! We'll keep haunting you no matter what!" laughed Stan.
Izuku laughed at the two and realized they weren't kidding around.
(End of Flashback)
"It wouldn't surprise me if Mabel stuck around school until I graduated…" laughed Izuku, "They've became like my family… they're even close to my mom… so even if I don't see them often I know that if we don't beat Bill once and for all I'll know they will stick around."
Shoto nodded.
"I noticed you talk to Dipper sometimes…" said Izuku.
"It's nothing…" said Shoto.
"It's conspiracy theories… isn't it?" asked Izuku.
Shoto stared at Izuku.
"Todoroki… he haunts my apartment, I know he's a big conspiracy theorist and considering you asked about the Manotaurs and Gnomes and the fact you believed about Bill it wouldn't surprise me you are one." Said Izuku laughing nervously.
"Don't tell anyone…" muttered Shoto.
"I won't…" said Izuku, "Don't worry I won't…"
""You mentioned earlier you can't sleep…" said Shoto.
"Because I don't have a body…" said Izuku.
Shoto nodded.
"Dipper and Mabel have been teaching me English, we also watch Pre-Quirk movies they love, a lot of them are really good and I never thought about seeing them… thorough some of them…"
His least favorites were Dream Boat High, Grandpa the Kid and Believe in Yourself…
Usually it was the movies that all but one or two hated.
"But if you ever get the chance check out Ghostbusters… I watched that one a lot with them…" said Izuku, "The Sky Walker Saga, Jurassic Park and The Voyages of Loinclothiclese are good too…"
"I don't watch movies that often." Said Shoto.
"Oh that makes sense…" said Izuku.
The two of them sat in silence for a while.
"Is Cipher going to come back?" asked Shoto.
"I don't know… but if he does please tell me." Said Izuku.
"Wait… do you know why you can enter dreams." Said Izuku.
"I never asked Ford… but I think it's tied into the fact I'm on a different plane of existence." Said Izuku.
"What?" asked Shoto confused.
"Dipper explained it on the way to the USJ." Said Izuku.
"I took a nap on the way to the USJ." Explained Shoto.
"Oh…" said Izuku.
Izuku explained the whole thing about being on a different plane of existence.
"I see…" was all Shoto could say.
That was when they heard a thump.
"I think my father is trying wake me up for early morning training." Said Shoto.
"Will you be okay?" asked Izuku.
"I've done this before." Said Shoto.
They heard another thump and Izuku nodded.
Shoto woke up just as Endeavor opened the door.
"It's time for training." Said Endeavor.
"I'm getting up." Said Shoto.
Izuku sighed at he watched this and decided to head to the school early, especially since it would take a while to get there even at top speed.
He was surprised when he saw the Pines waiting for them.
"So how did it go?" asked Ford.
"He left again, but he knows he can ask me to help if it happened again…" said Izuku.
"Still hard to break into a house eh, Green Bean." Said Stan .
Izuku blushed.
"Oh come on what's the worst that could happen." Said Stan.
"He could start smuggling pugs." Said Mabel.
"He might figure out how to invent his own crime." Said Dipper.
"He might get dirt on the prime minister and black mail him." Said Ford.
"I might try to steal an animatronic badger." Said Izuku joining in the teasing.
"Okay! Who's been corrupting him!" yelled Stan.
"You… you're the one trying to corrupt him…" said Ford.
Stan began to grumble.
"So it wasn't too bad was it?" asked Dipper.
"No he forgave me and we just talked through the night about whatever…" said Izuku.
"Izuku… are you hiding something?" asked Mabel.
"Of course not…" said Izuku.
They all looked at him and then looked at each other thinking of ideas.
"You know… I never liked Endeavor… there was always something that rubbed me the wrong way…" muttered Stan.
That was when Izuku flinched.
"Izuku… what did you find out?" asked Dipper.
"Nothing… nothing at all…" said Izuku.
Dipper and Mabel looked at each other recognizing the tone of voice.
It was a tone of voice that Dipper had a one point.
"Look we won't pry to from you…" said Dipper becoming angry.
"What?" asked Izuku noticing the wording of it.
"Don't worry about it kid…" said Stan.
"Why do I have a feeling they're all going to do something bad…" Thought Izuku.
Later that morning Katsuki placed Izuku stuff at his desk.
Including placing his puppet on his desk.
Everyone in the room almost jumped when Izuku (who was there due to the fact he got there first) put on the puppet.
"Okay! Seriously!" yelled Mina.
"Sorry…" Izuku.
"Were you in here the whole time…" said Kaminari.
"I was…" said Izuku, "I had to do something last night and Kacchan took care of my puppet."
That was when Shoto entered the room.
"Oh good morning Todoroki." Said Izuku.
He looked at Izuku and nodded with a small smile.
He knew that it was real.
Later that day, the 6 members of the team all met so that Shoto could explain it and basically reiterate the whole "Tell Izuku if Bill is haunting their dreams".
"You should have told Midoriya right away." Said Tenya.
"I know… I just didn't think he would have been able to help me…" said Shoto.
"Did I forget to mention he can entire your dreams." Said Katsuki.
"No I remember you telling us…" said Ochaco, "But it wasn't all of us."
"Oh yeah…" said Izuku remebering the converstion.
Katsuki just gurmbled realzing he should have brought it up sooner to Todoroki and Mezo.
"If he goes into your dreams tell Deku the next day! We want to avoid you messing you up." Muttered Katsuki.
"It is serous…" said Tenya.
"I'll remember that." Said Mezo.
"Yeah…" said Ochaco, "Come on we really should go eat lunch."
"She's right." Said Tenya.
As they headed to the cafeteria.
"Hey! Shoto! I wanted to talk to you about something." Said Dipper.
Izuku looked at Dipper, who looked back at him as if saying "I'm asking him myself…"
"Come on! Let's leave them to talk…" said Izuku.
"Why?" asked Ochaco.
"It's complicated…" said Izuku.
They left Dipper and Shoto to talk.
"What did you want to talk about?" asked Shoto.
"The way your dad treats you…" said Dipper.
Shoto looked at Dipper.
"Izuku didn't say anything." Said Dipper, "It's just that he's a really bad liar… and we all figured it out with context clues…"
"I see…" said Shoto.
"I don't know what's going on… but you're not alone… if you need help I will help you…" said Dipper, "I knew someone… someone very special to me who had certain family problems…"
"It's fine." Said Shoto, "It's just my father training…"
"I see…" said Dipper, "You should go eat lunch…"
Shoto got a bad feeling but decided to each lunch.
"Okay! It's pretty much confirmed…" thought Dipper sending out a telepathic message.
"All right everyone! Who's up for a good ol' fashioned haunting!" called out Stan.
"This will take a lot of planning…" said Ford.
"All right! Let's make him go nuts!" yelled Mabel.
Something the Pines family all agreed on was that they despised child abuse.
It took years, but Stan and Ford realized their own father was emotionally abusive.
As for Dipper and Mabel… they developed a hatred thanks to Pacifica whose parents… well it's better left unsaid.
Needless to say they were going to have fun tormenting Endeavor.
At Bizuku's hide out there was a drawing of the Zodiac, the symbols for Pine Tree and Fish were crossed out.
He then crossed out the ice bag.
