Bakugo Home: Sunday, April 9th

Inside her room, Satsuki is laying on her bed after a long and exhausting day. Listening to her favorite album from Deep Dope, she replays the event of earlier in the day. More specifically her encounter with Izuku after 2 years.

Turning her head to her nightstand, she grabs the picture frame on it. Looking down at it, like she has been for almost all her life, she smiles seeing the picture of her 4 year old self and 4 year old Izuku while they hold hands. Just then a knock at her door disturbs her thoughts.

"Go away!" Satsuki yells, knowing her mother was the one knocking. Hearing the door start to open, she sits up from her bed.

"What the Hell is wrong with you?! You're way too quiet, which isn't like you!" Her mother yells back. Satsuki glares at her but eventually sighs and hands her mother the picture frame. Taking it from her, her mother's eyes widened in surprise.

"You really kept this? After all these years?" Mitsuki asks, watching her daughter turn bright red.

"What do you think!" Satsuki yells.

"Why?"

"No idea." The two remain silent for a few minutes but the silence is broken when Satsuki speaks again/

"I saw him." She admits.

"Who?" Mitsuki asks, confused.

"Izuku, you old hag!" Satsuki yells. Mitsuki gasps in shock.

"So tell me, how was it?" She asks her daughter.

"He was so different than he was before." Satsuki says, almost as a whisper.

"Well of course he is! It's been almost 3 years." Mitsuki points out.

"That's not it! He's so cold, his eyes don't have the same warmth they had before." Satsuki admits. Her mother just stares at her in worry. Satsuki looks up and sees her mother's face.

"What!" She asks angrily.

"You have to understand, of course he'd be cold towards her. After everything you put him through in the past, you can't expect him to be the same little Izuku." Mitsuki lectures her. Seeing her daughter about to speak, she holds her hand up to stop her.

"You have to accept that Izuku will never be the same scared little boy she once knew. Also, you have to remember that he has a reminder of your past." Mitsuki points. Satsuki's mind goes back to a large burn on Izuku's neck. Mitsuki looks at her daughter, almost a carbon copy of her younger self, and begins to think of her time when she met her husband. She looks at her daughter's eyes and notices something in them.

"So, I bet little Izuku must have gotten pretty handsome in the last 2 years. Huh?" Mitsuki teases her daughter. Satsuki's thoughts go back to Izuku, causing her cheeks to turn red. Satsuki turns away from her mother and lays back down on her bed in embarrassment.

"S-Shut up!" Satsuki yells into her pillow. Mitsuki giggles as she makes her way out of the room.

"Maybe I'll invite Inko and Izuku over for dinner soon." Mitsuki smirks but quickly closes the door, preventing a pillow from hitting her. Satsuki grumbles as she turns back around and looks at the picture once more. She gently smiles and pulls it close to her chest.

"I'm never gonna give up." She whispers.

Monday, April 10th

Life has been different for Izuku Midoriya. Not only is he basically living by himself in Mustafa, to be closer to UA, but his mother is now working at the All Might Agency. Recently though, he feels like there is something going on between Toshinori and his mother. Izuku is really curious but he decided to just wait till they are ready to say something to him. Busy with his internal thoughts, Izuku bumps into someone as he goes through the school gates, causing both of them to fall. Looking down, he finds the person he bumped into in pieces.

"Ah!" Izuku yells. Panicking, Izuku begins to look around at the pieces. Just then, his panicking is disturbed by a girl's laugh. Izuku looks around as the body parts begin to float around him.

Just then, all the pieces begin to put themselves together, revealing a headless girl's body. Izuku looks at the body with panic, curiosity, and confusion all in one. Izuku looks around when suddenly he feels someone's hot breath near his ear.

"Gotta watch where you walk, big boy." The voice whispers in a sultry tone. Izuku whips his head around, finding a pretty girl with dark green hair and jagged teeth, grinning at him. The girl laughs as her head floats towards the body and attaches itself. Walking up to Izuku, she leans forward a little and smiles.

"So, big boy, what's your name?" The green haired girl asks.

"Izuku Midoriya." Izuku reponds

"The name's Setsuna Tokage. So, you go to UA too huh?"

"No, I just bought this uniform online and snuck into the school." Izuku sarcastically responds. He sees the girl smirk up at him and gives a response of her own.

"Oh, you've got a little spunk in you huh? I gotta say, big boy, you really fill out that uniform well." Setsuna points out. Izuku smirks but instead of giving a comeback, he decides to change the subject.

"So, what course are you in Tokage?" Izuku asks.

"Obviously, the hero course. I'm in class 1-B."

"Oh, I'm in class 1-A." Izuku responds.

"Wow, look at you. Well, I think we should get to class. If my classmates see me talking to you, they'll flip." Setsuna suggests. Izuku nods and watches her run off but not before she turns her head and winks at him. Izuku lets out a low chuckle as he makes his way to class.

Class 1-A, UA High School

Izuku arrives in front of the entrance to his classroom and begins to reach for the door when suddenly a voice calls out to him. Izuku turns around to find Uraraka running down the hall.

"Good Morning, Midoriya!" Uraraka says, grinning as she reaches him.

"Good Morning, Uraraka." He replies.

"So, what do you think we'll be doing today? I hope it's something cool." Uraraka asks.

"I hope so too." Izuku responds. Both of them walk into the classroom, only to be met by Iida yelling at the rest of their classmates.

"Everyone! Class is about to begin, get to your seats immediately!" Iida yells out.

"But Iida, you're the only one not in their seat." the red haired teen, Kirishima, points out. Iida looks around and sees that he's right and shakes his fist in frustration. He then turns and sees both Uraraka and Izuku. Locking eyes with Izuku, he marches towards him with determination. As he stands in front of Izuku, Iida bows at a perfect 90 degrees.

"Midoriya, I want to apologize for my rude attitude towards you. When we met I was very rude and misjudged you." Izuku awkwardly smiles at Iida.

"It's fine, Iida. It's all in the past." Izuku assures him.

"Thank you for accepting my apology. I hope that we can become great friends" Iida smiles back at Izuku. At the corner of the class, Satsuki watches the exchange with a frown on her face. Watching him smile at others, she begins to feel something.

"If only he could smile at me like that." Satsuki thinks to herself as she watches.

After everyone sat down, their homeroom began after Aizawa arrived. Their first official school day went pretty much how any normal high school would. After their morning classes finished up and the students had their lunch, it was time for the class everyone was waiting for. As the students awaited their teacher, the door swings open and in a flash, the symbol of peace arrives/

"I AM HERE! COMING IN LIKE A HERO!" All Might announces. All the students stare in awe as the #1 hero poses in front of them.

"Wow, it's really him!"

"All Might is a teacher here."

"He's wearing his silver age costume! So retro!"

As the students begin to stare in awe, Satsuki remains silent but her eyes widen at the sight of her hero. She's never seen him in person but now he's standing right in front of her. In the back of the class, Izuku watches everyone's reaction. Normally, he would be geeking out as well but having spent 2 years with him, it kinda makes him used to his antics.

"BY NOW YOU ALL KNOW WHAT CLASS IT'S TIME FOR! THOUGHT, YOU CAN'T DO ANY HERO TRAINING IN THOSE CLOTHES! HOW ABOUT YOU TRY THESE OUT!" All Might clicks a remote and the wall on the left begins to open, revealing 20 cases.

"EACH OF YOU SUBMITTED A DESIGN FOR YOUR COSTUME BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGAN, WELL THE SUPPORT STUDIO CAME THROUGH AND HAS YOUR SUITS FINISHED! NOW HEAD TO THE LOCKER ROOM AND CHANGE QUICKLY. MEET ME IN GROUND BETA." With that, All Might quickly made his way out of the room. Izuku quickly grabs his assigned case and starts making his way out, but not before being stopped by Iida and the red haired teen.

"Hey man, my name's Ejiro Kirishima. I saw your quirk yesterday and can't help but think it's so cool. Flashier than my quirk." Kirishima changes his arm into stone to demonstrate.

"Thanks but I think your quirk is pretty cool too. Totally Pro-hero material." Izuku assures him.

"I agree as well." Iida chimes in.

Boys locker room, UA High school

Once all the students grabbed their case, they all made their way to their assigned locker room. As Izuku opens his locker, he begins changing into his hero suit. Removing his shirt, he hears Kirishima speak to him.

"Damn Midoriya, what happened to your arm and shoulder?" Kirishima asks him. Midoriya looks at his right arm and sees the several scars that litter it from the times he broke his arm while training and his accident.

"The price I had to pay for my training for UA." Izuku chuckles.

"That's so manly!" Kirishima cries out, letting a tear fall down his cheek. Izuku chuckles as he looks back at the base of his suit.

One month ago

After finishing his daily training, Toshinori joins the Midoriya family for a nice warm dinner. Izuku wolfs down his food, hungry from all the training they have been doing. After dinner, Inko brings out a large box and hands it to Izuku.

"What's this?" Izuku asks his mother. Inko smiles as she gestures for him to open it. Opening the box, Izuku finds a black suit with dark green outlines. He looks up and sees his mother smiling.

"I thought, since you're going to UA, that you would need a hero suit. It's the least I can do for you. I want you to know that I was wrong all those years ago. I should have believed in you back then. She should have known that he would be a hero no matter what." Inko smiles, tears streaming down her face.

"That doesn't matter now. All that matters is that you believe in me now, mom." Izuku whispers to his mother. Toshinori watches the exchange with a smile on his face.

Present, Training Ground Beta

Standing at the entrance of Training Ground Beta, All Might sees his students begin to come out of the tunnel in their hero suits. Smiling at them, he decides to give them words of encouragement.

"YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SAY THAT THE CLOTHES MAKE THE HERO AND I CAN SAY THAT IT'S TRUE! YOU ALL LOOK SO COOL!" All Might praises them. Satsuki is the last of her class to walk out, besides Midoriya. Wearing a long high collar black jacket with an orange X on the front, along with baggy black pants that have green straps to hold her knee guards. She also has a gray metallic neck brace, black combat boots with orange soles. She also has two grenade-like gauntlets on her arms that reach her elbows. (Basically Bakugo's winter suit from the manga)

Satsuki looks around for Midoriya but can't find him. Just then, heavy footsteps are heard from the tunnel and out walks Midoriya in his suit. Wearing his mother's black suit with green outline, Izuku also sports leg braces that reach his thighs along with Iron soles on his shoes. On his arms, Izuku wears dark green Mid-gauntlets that reach his biceps along with a white support gloves. To top it off, Midoriya's suit has a metal respirator around his neck that can cover the bottom half of his face. The suit is just like his uniform, form fitting. (See cover image for reference)

"Wow Midoriya, you look so cool!" Uraraka gushes.

"I must agree, Midoriya." Iida nods his head.

"Thanks guys. You both look cool in your suits as well." Izuku assures them. Uraraka turns bright red and shyly looks away as she waves her arm.

"Oh, stop it!"

"ALRIGHT, NOW THAT EVERYONE IS HERE, TODAY WE WILL BE MOVING YOUR TRAINING UP A COUPLE OF STEPS! NORMALLY PEOPLE THINK VILLAIN FIGHTS ARE OUT IN THE OPEN BUT TRUTHFULLY, MORE FIGHTS OCCUR INDOORS. SO, FOR TODAY'S TRAINING EXERCISE WE WILL BE DOING TWO ON TWO INDOOR BATTLES!" All Might announces. The student's excitement and nervousness can be heard as whispers. All Might opens his mouth to speak but Iida beats him to the punch.

"Isn't that too dangerous for us to start with?" Iida asks.

"IN MY OPINION, THE BEST EXPERIENCES IS IN THE BATTLE FIELD. ALSO, LITTLE REMINDER THAT THESE ARE ROBOTS BUT ACTUAL PEOPLE."

"Do you pick who the winner is?" Momo asks.

"How much damage can we cause the enemy?" Satsuki asks.

"Are we going to have to worry about getting expelled?" Ashido asks. Looking at his students nervously, All Might brings out a box.

"IT'S TIME TO PICK YOUR PARTNER!" All Might announces. One by one, each student walks up and pulls out a letter ranging from A to J. Satsuki looks at her letter and looks around to find her partner. Hoping to have Izuku as her partner, she yells out for her partner.

"Alright, who the hell got D." She yells.

"I did!" A pair of floating gloves move around in excitement. Satsuki groans in frustration, hoping to be partnered with Izuku or atleast Uraraka. With Izuku, he pulled the letter I. After asking around, Izuku feels someone tap his shoulder and turns to find a muscular guy in a yellow suit with rather large lips.

"Hey, I'm Rikido Sato. You're Midoriya, right?" The large teen asks.

"Yeah. So you got I too?" He gets a nod in response. "Well, nice to meet you. So, can I ask what your quirk is?" Izuku asks.

"I call it Sugar Rush. The more Sugar i consume, the more my strength increases. Only downside is that if I consume too much then I start to get tired faster." Sato answers.

"Alright, well my quirk is strength Augmentation. My body stores up energy and then releases it in a coat of green lightning, giving me super strength and speed." Izuku carefully explains. Sato grins and holds his fist up.

"Guess we're like strength bros, huh" Izuku grins back and they both fist bump.

"ALRIGHT CLASS, THE SCENARIO IS THE FOLLOWING; THE VILLAIN TEAM HAVE A BOMB HIDDEN SOMEWHERE IN THE BUILDING AND THE HERO TEAM HAVE 15 MINUTES TO EITHER CAPTURE THE VILLAINS OR GET TO THE WEAPON. NOW TO CHOOSE THE HEROES AND VILLAINS." Bringing two boxes out, he puts his hand in each box and pulls out two letters.

"LOOKS LIKE TEAM I WILL BE THE HEROES AND TEAM J WILL BE THE VILLAINS. NOW EACH TEAM HAS 10 MINUTES TO PREPARE AND LOOK OVER THE LAYOUT OF THE BUILDING WHILE THE REST OF US HEAD TO THE MONITORING ROOM. JUST A PIECE OF ADVICE TO YOUNG MINETA AND YOUNG KAMINARI, EMBRACE VILLAINY!" Looking at Izuku and Sato, he hands them two ear pieces and a map of the building. Both strength user's head towards the entrance and prepare a plan.

"Alright, I think we should clear each floor together. Eventually we'll find them and that's when…" Izuku and Sato discuss their plan as time runs out before they begin. As they finish planning, the bell rings, announcing the beginning of the match. Both students nod at each other as they jog into the entrance of the building.

The two quickly clear the first 3 floors and quickly make their way to the 4th floor. As the two get closer to the large room on the 4th floor, Izuku begins to hear laughter coming from the room.

"So, who do you have your eyes set on?" Kaminari asks.

"Well, obviously Yaoyorozu. Did you see her body?" Mineta replies, almost as if drooling. Izuku can't help but be disgusted by their conversation. He turns to his partner and tells him…

"Alright, let's be careful in there. We still don't know their quirks. I'll go in first with my speed and then you come in. I have an Idea on a power move for you." Izuku suggests. Sato nods as they prepare to enter. After discussing their plan once more, Izuku powers up OFA to 5% and speeds his way into the room.

"Delaware Smash!" Using his support gloves, Izuku flicks his finger, sending a large blast of wind at the two villains. Mineta and Kaminari are both blown back from the force and start getting ready to attack. Mineta grabs his sticky balls and tries throwing them at Izuku.

"You think you're so cool, don't you, pretty boy." Mineta angrily shouts.

"Mineta, let me handle him." Kaminari suggests. Mineta stops his attack and moves out the way. Izuku decides that this is his chance and heads straight towards Kaminari. Kaminari smirks and lifts his arms.

"Try this! 1.8 million volts!" Large amounts of lightning begin to head towards Izuku but that doesn't make him falter.

"Now Sato!" Izuku shouts just as the lightning reaches him. With Full Cowling active, Izuku puts his arms forward and begins to absorb the lightning, turning it from yellow to green as it begins to surround him. Kaminari watches the lightning surrounding Izuku begin to get larger and more violent but soon forgets as his brain gets fried.

"Kaminari, stop the lightning!" Mineta yells, only to be met with a fried Kaminari giving him a thumbs up. He turns back to Izuku and frantically starts throwing his sticky balls. Just then Sato runs in and jumps into the air, eating a small sugar packet, and comes down hitting the ground with his quirk.

"Sugar Crush." Sato's move begins to shake the ground, causing Mineta to lose his footing. Izuku uses his speed to tie both Mineta and Kaminari together while Sato walks towards the weapon and lightly touches it, making them the winners.

"THE HERO TEAM WINS! WITH 5 MINUTES TO SPARE!" All Might announces. Izuku and Sato fist bump in celebration as All Might asks the four students to return to the monitoring room.

"Your plan went perfectly, Midoriya." Sato points out.

"It wouldn't have worked if it wasn't for you either." Izuku responds.

"I'm just glad I listened to you. Who knew that the amount of sugar that I eat affects the amount of strength I use. Didn't want to cause too much damage." Sato and Izuku make small talk as they reach the monitoring room with the rest of the class.

Monitoring Room, Training Ground Beta

In the monitoring room, Satsuki can't help but be amazed once more by Izuku. Not only did he work perfectly with Sato but he easily took down both of the idiots from the other team. Right from the start, her eyes never left Izuku for one second.

Even after seeing his quirk at work yesterday, she still can't believe that it's the same Izuku that she knows. Not only did he win but he basically took down the other team with such skill and perfect synchronization with his partner that it makes her think.

"If I went up against him, would he beat me that easily?" She thinks to herself. After both teams return, All Might praises the winners while giving advice to the losers, as well as some words from the big breasted Yaoyorozu, the rest of the matches continue.

Satsuki carefully watches each match carefully, making sure to remember their quirks for future references. Finally after four matches, her match was about to start. After being chosen as the hero team, Satsuki calls out to her partner.

"Hey, gloves. Come here and listen to the plan I have in my head." Satsuki tells her.

"My name is Tooru Hagakure. Not 'gloves'." Hagakure points out, earning a shrug from the blonde.

"When the match starts, I want you to remove your gloves and boots." Satsuki orders her. Hagakure is shocked but due to her quirk, you can't really tell.

"I guess that's a good plan." Hagakure agrees, still unsure of the plan.

"Of course it is, I thought of it." Satsuki proudly puffs her chest. "While I cause a distraction, you'll sneak in and grab the weapon right from under them. Hagakure shakes her gloves in approval as they make their way out the room and towards the building.

Just like Satsuki said, her plan went smoothly. Uraraka and Asui didn't know what hit them. All They were able to see was large explosions before the alarm blared. Announcing the end of the match. Both girls turned around to find a floating glove touching the weapon behind them. After the match, all four girls return to the monitoring room to see their results.

"Hey, Bakugo. I may have lost but I have to say, you were so good." Uraraka praises the blonde. Satsuki scoffs in response.

"Of course I am!" Satsuki responds as they return to the monitoring room. After a quick praise and a piece of advice, All Might takes them back to the entrance of training ground Beta.

Entrance, Training Ground Beta

"YOU ALL DID EXCELLENT WORK! EVEN THOUGH WHO LOST, YOU MUST HAVE LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON FROM YOUR FAILURES!" All Might tells class 1-A.

"It's nice to hear some praise from a teacher, especially after Mr. Aizawa's class." Asui points out.

"THAT'S WHY I AM HERE! NOW, IT'S TIME FOR ME TO TAKE MY LEAVE! WATCH HOW A HEROES EXITS, WITH STYLE!" All Might shouts as he sprints away from the class. The students remain starstruck but after a few moments. They all head back to the locker rooms and change back into their school uniforms. With this chance to talk to Izuku returning, Satsuki rushes to the locker room and quickly changes into her uniform. Running out of the locker room, Satsuki waits for Izuku once more. After a few minutes, the boys begin to walk out, except for Izuku. Satsuki grabs Kirishima as soon as she sees him.

"Where's Izuku, shitty hair?" Satsuki angrily asks.

"Can't you just say my name once?" Kirishima asks

"Nope! Now, where's Izuku?" Satsuki asks once more.

"Midoriya? He was the first of us to leave, he didn't even change out of his costume. Said he needed to go somewhere." Satsuki growls as she sets Kirishima down and walks away. As she walks away, she is stopped by none other than Uraraka.

"Hey Bakugo, the rest of us girls were about to hit the arcade. The new one is near the train station." Satsuki looks at the group of girls and then back at Uraraka. Giving the girl a small smile, she nods her head.

"Fine, but I won't go easy on you girls." Satsuki says as she runs with Uraraka to catch up to the rest of the girls.

Toshinori's Office, UA High School

In Toshinori's private office, Izuku is having some tea with both Toshinori and Nezu. Both Izuku and Toshinori are still wearing their suits, well in Toshinori's case, his suit was hanging off his body. Nezu is the first to break the silence between the three.

"I watched your match, Midoriya. I can say that it went just as I imagined it. Your planning was perfect and so was the execution. You have vastly improved with 'One for All' in such a short time." Nezu points out. Toshinori puts his arm around Izuku's shoulder and sports a large grin.

"I am so proud of how far you have come in the last 2 years, Young Izuku." Toshinori praises him.

"I really appreciate it. Without both of your help, I don't know where I would be." Izuku admits.

"Nevertheless, I commend you on your great strategy and your victory." Nezu tells the young hero in training. After a few more minutes of small talk amongst the three of them, Toshinori suggested that Izuku head home for the day and rest up. Izuku agrees and heads back to the locker room to change out of his hero suit. As soon as Izuku closes the door, Toshinori begins to cough up blood. Nezu worriedly hands him a napkin as Toshinori curses.

"Dammit! It seems my time as the symbol of peace is almost coming to an end."
