Chapter 18: Recovery!
"The boy still hasn't woken up, has he?"Nezu asked.
A doctor shook his head."The decayed part of the boy was easily healed, Recovery Girl worked her magic at best it be a small scar barely noticeable."
The doctor's demeanour changed."The poison in his system is like nothing I have seen before. Honestly, I'm surprised he's still alive... but I don't think that will remain for long."
Nezu nodded."Thank you."Before he walked away."I let you down, Hisashi, I let down my students, and I couldn't even protect your son... "
He sighed heavily. Aizawa wrapped in a bandage leaning against a wall felt immense shame and guilt as he walked away.
Three days later.
Principal Nezu and the U.A. staff were in a meeting to discuss the USJ incident. Despite their injuries, Aizawa and Vlad King were present both had an expression of immense regret. Thirteen was still in recovery from her injuries. Over the past 3 days, the media was able to question the reputation of the U.A. and what made it worse was the critical condition of Izuku Midoriya.
The other students were healed in a day, Recovery Girl plus Nurse White giving them the stamina to heal all their injuries in a day.
The boy's bravery and how he turned the tide of battle, beating the creature that was meant to kill All Might pushing the villains back and defeating them.
The media was shocked and praised the boys' actions, calling him a true hero in the making. But his condition was leaked, and this caused the media to turn against U.A.
"A student had to do your job?!"
"How's the boy's mother doing?"
"A great hero in the making meets his end all before graduation. "
"He's the kid who broke All Mights record, y'know?"
"Holy shit!? Really? damn kid was aiming big, wasn't he?"
We're some of the words that came from the public who were outraged, and the press only instigated it. However, the public pointed out that the students and the school wouldn't have been put in danger if the media hadn't forced themselves into the school's premises, allowing the villains to steal the schedule.
"I believe I can say that this whole mess is our fault. The fact that a student may never wake up, he was forced to kill the nomu. Only proves a failure of a Hero Course School. Especially when this student broke the record set by All Might. Even before coming to U.A. the boys eager to help and save people were prevalent. Not to say the other students' safety doesn't concern us, but I'm only showing you how bad our image is in the eyes of the public right now." Nezu explained without using his cheerful tone. This statement only increased the guilt All Might, Aizawa, and Vlad were feeling.
"I'm the one to blame. I was too weak to protect the students. In the end, Midoriya was forced to save me alongside Aizawa. In the end, I was completely useless."Vlad King said as he clenched his fist that shook in anger.
"No. The fault is mine and mine alone. I used my time in Hero form, I should've been there from the beginning and stopped the league along with that bastard who poisoned young Midoriya."All Might said frustration and guilt all prevalent on his face.
"The villain committed suicide so we can't even get a cure from him."Present Mic's anger only grew."He made sure to make a poison that we couldn't combat! And then, just to be petty, he killed himself!"
"Now you are all aware of what's beyond the stars, and what Midoriya possesses even though if some of you aren't plumbers..."
"You mean space cops but go on."
"We have an issue that we can not ignore. Vilgax is aware that Midoriya is in possession of the Omnitrix he sent those robots to the main campus even though he hired bounty hunters."Nezu said."From what I can gather he planned this, he knew the villains would attack the U.S.J. He probably knew All Might would've used up his time, that's why the hunters attacked then despite watching him for a while now that's what Tetrax said. He sent the robots to make sure we wouldn't assist in any way. But if he actually wanted to capture, he would not have sent Kaine. Who would've I'm sure would have killed Midoriya."
Everyone grimaced before coming to the same conclusion."He's testing him."
Nezu nodded."Now you all saw the footage. What weakness would you gather from it."
"What weakness would we gather if we were trinaical psychopath warlord? The kid's pretty creative?"
Aizawa sighed." If people are in danger, he'll do anything to save them. Kaine had Yaoyorozu, Shiozaki, Pony, Kaminari, Jirou, and Midoriya prepared to give himself up."
"Someone like him would use such underhanded tactics."
"Tetrax has copied the signal to throw off Vilgax so when Midoriya transforms instead of tracking him to Earth he will be tracking wherever Tetrax is, but this won't fool him forever when he finds out he will come. But we should discuss the future, adding a dorm system protected by the best security system, and finally, the sports festival will be postponed for a month from now."
Class 1-A was quiet. No one felt like talking. Yaoyorozu had eyebags, an indication she hadn't slept in a while, plus her eyes were red, showing she had been crying.
Yaoyorozu wasn't the only one to look ruff, Jirou, Uraraka, Ashido, and Tsuyu's eyes were red.
Some of the guys, as Kirishima, felt so much shame that he just looked down at his table.
Shoji was quiet, well, he was always quiet but this silence wasn't normal for him. They all just heard the ticking of the room clock. Kaminari, Sero, and Mineta felt like they should try and cheer them up.
"Hey guys, c'mon y'know Midoriya is going to be fine. It's Midoriya he always pulls a last-minute trick or something." Sero said.
"Yeah, I don't know the guy very well, but I'm sure he's gonna be fine, and he wouldn't want us mopping around," Kaminari said, moving his arms around.
"R-Right. A last-minute move."Iida said as he sighed."Th-This all my fault. If I was able to get to the teacher in time, then maybe..."
"No."Yaoyorozu said."The fault is mine." She said but didn't elaborate.
Bakugou looked catatonic he had struggled with the fact that if Deku the worthless useless pebble hadn't shown up, he would've.. he would've died. There's no sugarcoating. The villain played with them torturing them, but if he didn't show up...
"This wasn't like the sludge villain where All Might is the one who saved me... but was helpless. I was completely useless against that blackbird freak! If Deku hadn't...I would've... now he's gonna..."Bakugou thought
The door slid open, and everyone turned with some hope that the green-haired classmate would walk in everyone would hug him, he would become a stuttering mess, Bakugou would just scoff and everything would go back to normal.
Instead, the homeroom teacher walked in Mr. Aizawa, which brought some relief in knowing their teacher, was okay.
"Good morning, class." He said as he could feel and see the sad and depressed looks on their faces. These kids went through hell, and a wave of guilt washed over him as he saw the empty seat of number 18. He sighed.
"I know you are all worried about Midoriya, and I would recommend you all see Hound Dog. Right now, we can not dwell on what-ifs. Instead, we need to push forward, take a look at what went wrong, and try to improve." Aizawa said.
They all listened half-heartedly. Before Tokoyami spoke up. "He's right. Midoriya wouldn't want us to be depressed it would only make him feel guilty when he awoke from his deep slumber."
Uraraka nodded. "Right, Dekiru wouldn't want us to feel bad for him."
Everyone nodded."Now, let's begin with today. Sports Festival is coming up."
"Oh yeah, that's right! U.A. is still a school, so it makes sense that we would have school-related activities." Ojiro said.
"The date of the Sports Festival has been postponed. This will give you time to heal your wounds."
Bakugou shot up from his seat."WHAT!? We were perfectly fine! The old hag healed all of our wounds!"
"Not all of us," Ashido whispered to herself.
"I wasn't talking about your physical wounds," Aizawa said.
"Huh?! What are you--"He felt a poke as he then finally noticed the depressed looks everyone had he scoffed before sitting back down.
"But is it really a good idea? There was just a villain attack on U.A. grounds. Sh-Shouldn't we..."Tsuyu trailed off.
Aizawa sighed."You are not the only one to think like that Asui, but precautions have been taken. You are not obligated to participate especially in your first years. If you feel like you can't participate, no one will judge you. You should all prepare in this month"
"A MONTH!? "The class shouted.
"B-But wh-what about Midoriya?" Kirishima asked. "He is still in the hospital."
"He won't have the time to prepare and heal like the rest of us."
Everyone flinched from the name, and Aizawa just closed his eyes. "That's Recovery Girl's decision." He sighed before addressing the class." I should apologize to all of you because of negligence. You all suffered greatly as your teacher. I should have protected you all, and for my weakness, I am truly sorry."
[Time-skip]
It was lunchtime
Uraraka was still in the classroom with Iida, Ashido, Kirishima, and other students.
"C'mon guys like Mr Aizawa said we should look forward," Kaminari said, trying to cheer up his classmates.
There was a depressed aura around the class.
"Oooh, I know. How about you tell us how you met Midoriya?"Kaminari said
Everyone raised an eyebrow. Ojiro put a finger to his chin."Couldn't hurt. I'm sure it would help out."
Uraraka spoke up with a small blush form."I guess I met Dekiru when he stole my purse." She said with a chuckle.
There was silence before everyone's eyes bulged out.
"Wait, wait, wait, hold up, Izuku Midoriya's green hair innocent wouldn't hurt a fly stole... your purse?!" Ashido asked, clearly not believing her.
Iida began making chopping motions."Uraraka, you shouldn't make up stories about our friend!"
"No way was Midoriya secretly a... bad boy!?"Kaminari and Mineta asked.
They chuckled."Well he didn't exactly steal it he's friend did but O ended up chasing them, the purse had my money for the month and phone and my family is kinda tight when it comes to money"
Everyone kinda felt bad and a little disappointed in Midoriya.
"I chased them and pleaded with them, but they ended up escaping in a manhole. Man, hole out of all things!?"
"Can't believe Midoriya would do such. He seems so innocent."
"Yeah, but what came next was more than surprising. I was walking home, and here comes the guy with bruises and bandages that stole my phone bows and hands me 1 million yen!!"
Everyone's eyes bulged out of the eye socket jaws dropped. Everyone had a shocked expression.
Kirishima shot up."Hold up, that's the prize money from the tournament!!"Kirishima said in awe.
Jirou had smiled as she realized."So instead of apologizing and admitting his mistakes like any normal person would he goes to fight in a tournament and we all know he probably went plus Ultra just to win, so he could give you that money."
Uraraka heavily blushed as the classroom laughed from the story and the classroom became a little brighter from the story.
"Sounds like Midoriya he just has to go over the top," Kirishima said with a grin.
"Aw, man, so what did you do with the money?"Ashido asked.
"I didn't take all of it!!"She shouted before putting her fingers together and whispered."Though I was really tempted."
Jirou giggled."And like that, Green Bean will go over the top in making us feel better by getting back up and making a very public apology."
Everyone smiled."Yeah."
"Wait, how did you meet him?"Kaminari asked towards Jirou, who blushed.
"I was being attacked by a group of guys who I beat up before, they caught me off guard and ganged up on me and well green goo-like creature appeared out of nowhere and took them out with his black-haired friend."She blushed.
"Always running into help sounds like him."
"Wait, black-haired teen? Did he look muscular and kinda like a thug."
"Huh? Yeah."
"That's the guy who stole my purse!"Uraraka said with anger in her voice, which made everyone shiver and gulped in fear.
Yaoyorozu had been walking to the student council she heavily sighed usually she would walk with Midoriya where they would chat with one another, they would talk about quirks, pros or anything that would come up it was only a few moments they were alone which she appreciated.
Now she was walking alone in silence, as everyone walked past her talking and chatting, couples holding hands and smiling. Which brought a small smile and also made her sad.
"I'm sorry..."She whispered to herself as she continued walking. As she then felt a hand grab her shoulder, she turned around to see Kendo, who also spotted eye bags and a sad look."Hey Yaoyorozu."
"Kendo? May I help you with something?"She asked.
"Do you mind if we go to the student council?"Kendo asked."We both seem we could use a friend,"
They began walking in silence before Kendo spoke."Y'know he doesn't blame you."
Yaoyorozu didn't respond.
"It's not your fault, y'know Midoriya, a tough guy."She said with a smile Yaoyorozu could sense how unsure the girl was. She didn't want to say anything because she knew she would break down.
"Hey, I'm going to visit him in the hospital."
Yaoyorozu froze.
"If you wanna come, feel free to."
She nodded."Okay."
Yaoyorozu was sitting in the council room. The seat next to her was empty, another reminder of Izuku.
Kendo tried her best to ignore the empty seat as she wanted this whole day to be over to visit Midoriya in the hospital.
"Uh, shouldn't we begin?"
"Hold on, apparently, a new class rep for the business course was instated."
"Oh, I heard about that he's also doing in the support course, right?"A female student said.
The door suddenly opened as a boy and girl with glasses walked in.
"Yes, yes...ugh. Goodbye."
Yaoyorozu, who was looking down, recognized the voice. She looked up and saw a familiar face.
"Oh, Momo, it's good to see you again."The boy said
The girl ignored him. Trying her best not to acknowledge him."It's Yaoyorozu."
"Uh, you know him?"Kendo asked.
"Yes. He's the son of my father's investors."
"Partners, actually. And her future husband."He said condemned
" The engagement was cancelled," Yaoyorozu said immediately
"Tch. I don't know what your father was thinking honestly, but don't worry, when you show your pathetic attempt at the sports festival, he will come to his senses."
"He finally saw that I would never enter a quirk marriage, especially someone as deplorable as you Billions," Yaoyorozu said as a fact
"If I recall, your father said you had found true love or some biblical nonsense like that," Billy said his tone indicating that he was irritated.
"But don't worry, hopefully, you and your father will come to your senses. I always get what I want. And I want you I will have you. Your opinion doesn't really concern me."
This got glares from the girls in the room but had the common sense not to speak up, especially about his reputation.
" And besides, what man could compete with me? I'm the richest, smartest, and my looks are beyond average."
"Can we move on? You called this meeting Billions?"
The boy was around 155 cm, brown eyes, tanned skin, he usually wears red-violet tux and a pink bow tie, but now he was in his U.A inform. Later revealed to be Billy Billions.
"Yes! It concerns the sports festival."Billy said, catching everyone's attention except a girl with brown hair who scoffed and seemed irritated.
"You mean the event where the hero course can just look good?"She said with distaste in her tone.
Kendo, Yaoyorozu, and Shoda didn't react they knew she didn't like the hero course, but Midoriya would always seem to at least manage to calm her down.
"Yes, it's disappointing, but I'm here to make a request."He took a breath."Someone else should make the speech for the Sports Festival."
Everyone looked surprised, Kendo glared at him.
"Every year we have a hero course student make a speech to the top scorer but since he's... currently, out of commission, I propose I make the speech I'll be representing the support and business course."
Kendo shot up from her seat."I decline the proposal."
"Oh?"
"Izuku Midoriya is more than just a student who got first on the hero course exams, but he broke the record, let alone the All Mights record!"
Everyone in the room began to ponder.
"Huh, yeah, he did do that. Everyone will want to see the guy who beat All Mights' score. Marketing for the kid will be insane."
"A record that was considered impossible will certainly bring a lot of attention."
Billy looked irritated before sighing."Let's be honest... he's probably not going to make it."
The room went silent. Kendo's glare intensified."What?" She said threatened.
"I mean... he beat the blonde idiot score, so what? It's not like he will actually make it. Let's not pretend he will survive. When they declare his de--
"Shut up."Momo stood up, her face filled with rage."Don't you dare speak ill of him."
Billy looked shocked before glaring at her.
"You want us to bring a new age to the U.A.what better than the guy who literally placed a new record in U.A. history? The boy who took on the villains was standing proudly a symbol of resilience. Even though the odds were slim, he made it through and going plus Ultra, that's our school motto."
Everyone began to feel somewhat inspired as they listened to the girl's every word.
"If we let someone else when Midoriya hasn't even given woken up yet? What happens if he does wake up? what kinda message will be saying, 'Oh, we didn't expect you to make it? So we replaced you.' Is that U.A. not believing in our students, our classmates? Instead, we hold firm on Midoriya, being our representative will be saying, 'We knew he would make it! And now he stands proudly here, giving a speech to inspire all of us!'"
The girl began to pant.
"Midoriya will make it. We just need to have faith! Before we make any decisions, I implore you to wait! Just wait to give him time, please!"The girl's voice cracked.
This made Billy glare at her. "Why are you defending this boy? He's just some nobody some lucky first year."
"I second it!" Kendo exclaimed
"Me too!" Shoda shouted.
"Uh, what the hell Midoriya seems pretty cool."
"Sure, why not."
Billy just scoffed as he stormed out in anger, slamming the door behind him. "Izuku Midoriya." He said with a glare.
[Back at class]
The class was still in a funk as they packed the stuff. The conversation was small, but there was still some conversation.
"Wha-what's going on?"Ochako asked as the homeroom's door was blocked by a swarm of students.
"What business do you have with class A?" Tenya questioned, accompanied by a chopping motion.
"We won't let you keep us here!"Mineta shouted
Bakugou got his bag and flung it onto his shoulder, eyes narrowing with a serious expression as he walked up to the many of the students blocking the door.
"They're scouting the enemy, small fry. We're the ones who made it out of the villains' attack, so they probably wanna check us out before the sports festival. "He was surprisingly calm as he spoke.
He stopped right in front of them and gave them a fierce glare."Out of the way, extra now you know what a real professional looks like!"
The crowd was rather taken aback by this. Some stepping back, Kyouka rolled her eyes. "More like a professional asshole."
This caused the blonde to be irritated but ignored, and this earned a few chuckles and oohs.
"Stop calling people extras just because you don't know them!" Tenya exclaimed while moving his arms like a robot.
"I came to see what the famous class A and B were like, but you seem pretty arrogant. Are all students in the hero course like this?"Came the monotone voice of a purple-haired teen.
"No, just him." Came the immediate response of the class.
"I heard one of you guys is in the hospital he apparently gave his all to protect both classes. Someone like that is probably a good guy." The purpled hair teen said. The class was curious about where he was going with this.
"There are quite a few people who enrolled in the General Studies or other courses because they didn't make it into the hero course. Did you know that? The school has left those for us a chance. We can prove ourselves, and they'll consider transferring us in that means transferring one of you out."
Everyone began to realize before glaring as some whispers began happening with the students."Hey, if the kid doesn't make it, then there's a free seat!"
"I'm kinda glad you heard what he did in the entrance exam. Dud took on the zero pointer and took it out in one punch!"
Class 1-A just clenched the fist in anger.Do they really think they just take his spot?
"But my pride refuses to take someone who isn't given a chance to keep his spot, so I will be aiming for one of yours, and there will be no question that I earned my spot! That I earned my place in the hero course!"The purple-haired declared, which surprised everyone, including class 1-A."If you don't bring your A-game, I'll take your seat right from under you. I came with a declaration of war!" He finished off.
Bakugou could only scoff as some of class B who heard everything could only smirk. As everyone was about to scatter, a condescending voice came."Ugh, you hero hopefuls so dramatic." Everyone turned to see Billy Billions he made his way through the crowd as he looked at the class 1-A
"So this is class 1-A? Let's see my competition. Ah, a pink raccoon-eyed freak...
Ashido looked hurt by the statement as she glared at him."A guy who looks like his mom is an octopus gross, ugh you're doing everyone a favour wearing that mask, only if could cover up... everything."
"Next, we have a guy with a tail? How's that helpful? Whatever, monkey. Then a toad girl. A guy with earlobes."
Everyone turned to Jirou, who glared at him and began walking towards him. She was stopped by Bakugou, who was glaring at him intensely. Everyone felt offended but was held by Shoji, who shook his head.
"I hear Ochako Uraraka was in the class..."He then turned to Uraraka, recognizing the blushing cheeks and brown hair. He smiled as he looked at her.
"I've heard about your family struggle if you were... persuasive, I wouldn't mind helping out your family."He gestured to her body. Uraraka stepped back, making a gagging noise. This brought a scowl to the boy.
"Yaoyorzu, you associate yourself with such vermin? Honestly, if you losers surved a villain attack, the villains were probably some no-name thugs, probably this Izuku Midoriya? Huh? Y'know Izuku can be read as Deku is also useless? Yeah, a fitting name, don't you think Yaoyorozu Deku fits perfectly for such a useless person."
The class grew even more angry. The students nearby felt the growing tension and moved back.
Monoma himself, despite not liking class 1-A, will admit Midoriya was a hero and to talk such badly about a person made his blood boil.
Kendo was on the verge of beating someone as he was held by Setsuna and Yanagi.
"Well, I should introduce myself. I will be your new classmate and the class rep I will be replacing Dek--"
He didn't finish and to everyone's shock, he was decked in the face by Bakugou!? The pompous boy was sent flying back, clutching his cheek as Bakugou's hands were crackling like with explosions.
"DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK OF THE NERD LIKE THAT! YOU WORTHLESS USELESS THE NERD IS A MORE OF A HERO THAN YOU IN HIS PINKY THAN YOU ARE IN YOUR WHOLE BODY!!"Bakugou screamed, shocking everyone
"Y-You scoundrel, how dare you."He began to get up as he heard footsteps and then felt a sudden slap across the face by Yaoyorozu. "Leave."
She said with authority
Billy was shocked. Yaoyorozu has never ever hit him all for what some guy? Some nobody?
Bakugou was being held back by Sero, Kaminari, and Kirishima, who were both scowling at the boy on the floor.
"Midoriya is someone you will never live up to. Even with all that money, you weren't half the man he is."
Billy's eyes widened in realization."Oh, I get it, I get it, so this Midoriya is the nobody trash that you fell for? That made your father cancel our arrangement?" He asked accusingly. The girl blushed, but her scowl was present. Todoroki, who heard what he said, glared at the boy he resisted the urge to slug him right then and there.
"Then I hope he doesn't make it some lowlife like him. In fact, I hope he dies so I won't have to every five minutes of Izuku Midoriya! Ugh." He said with disgust in his voice.
"SOMEONE LIKE YOU HAS NO RIGHT TO SPEAK ABOUT THE NERD LIKE THAT!"Bakugou screamed in his lungs.
Billy picked himself up as he spat on Bakugou's shoe and walked away."You will be hearing from my father."
As everyone began to calm down, Bakugou looked at himself."Why the hell did I react like that? For the damn nerd?"Bakugou looked at his fist in confusion
As he ran into the corner as the childhood of him and Bakugou replayed in his mind, how they would play being heroes, how he told him he would be his sidekick, but everything changed...
Now he's bloody broken, filled his mind as an unfamiliar feeling washed over him, as he got up and left.
[At The Hospital]
Yaoyorozu had gotten to the hospital she left without Kendo with a couple of flowers as she walked up to his room.
" I'm sorry, Midoriya... You were my first real friend in a while. You didn't judge me for entering through U.A. through recommendation. You admired my intelligence and complimented me with no ulterior motives, which was a breath of fresh air."
"But then I guess began to admire you, when you fought Bakugou and Todoroki showed your intelligence and fighting PROWESS. Honestly, I was kinda jealous. You're as versatile as me and smart as me, but you never hesitate. You can go in and fight two of the strongest without question. Star contrasted with the timid boy I met. "
Honestly, I kinda thought you were cute when we first met." She said with a chuckle, wiping a few tears. Hoping the boy would wake up and become a blushing mess.
"I enjoyed conversing with you. We may not agree that you often throw caution through the wind and take risks. Maybe if we're like you, I could've..."Her face began to stain as tears rolled down her face.
"Midoriya, please... wake up."She pleaded with the unconscious boy.
As a few tears hit his face, as she cried over him, he was hiccuping.
"It's not your fault."
Yaoyorozu quickly turned around and began to wipe her tears to see Kaminari, Jirou, Kirishima, Kendo, Uraraka, and the rest of class 1-A with the added addition of Tetsutetsu and Shiozaki.
"I fried my brain and was basically useless during the fight, maybe if I-I don't know if I just did something anything! Midoriya wouldn't have needed to take the bullet!"Kaminari said. Feeling guilty."Those were basically robots. I can't help but think that if I wasn't brain dead, I could've short-circuited them or something."
"Kaminari..."Jirou said.
"No! You know I'm right!"Kaminari said, shouting.
"I'm the one who let him fight," Tsuyu said guiltily, "If I put my foot down and.."
"Midoriya would've gone in to save our teachers regardless of what you said, "Uraraka said as she placed a hand on her shoulder, Tsu just had her head down in guilt.
"No! I was too weak! He got grabbed by villains, not once but twice! Because I stood frozen!"Kirishima shouted his voice, cracking."I'm the dumbass who let that villain scatter us! If Thirteen was able to sick up that villain, then Midoriya could've... we wouldn't have been separated then we could've taken that stupid bird brain together and won!"
"You weren't the only one who attacked that stupid villain."Tetsutetsu said guilty."How am I supposed to be a shield if I can't protect my classmates."
Jirou had her down."You idiot."
Flashback
This was a week after they had gotten the results, Midoriya and Jirou were hanging out together.
"Hey, green, I've been wondering what kinda of hero you wanna be?"Jirou asked as she slurped on her smooth."Why are we drinking this?"
Midoriya shrugged."I don't know having a Mr. Smoothy after something just... feels right."
Jirou looked at the greenate before shrugging."You really are weird green but in a good way."
He blushed."Well, I guess... I wanna be a hero whose smile brings hope to the world!" As he gave a smile.
Jirou had a small blush. "Kinda like me, I wanna be..."
She was cut off by Izuku
"A hero who brings hope to the world by making others smile. Yeah, I remember."Midoriya finished off.
She smiled before drinking her smoothly before coughing"Okay yeah I can't drink this."
Midoriya finished his smoothy."Yeah, it has a weird taste."
Flashback over
"You saved everyone with a smile, but what about ours, I--we can't stand to see like this!"She said in frustration as her tears kept running down her face.
"I got captured. He sacrificed himself without question to save me... Now, he may not make it because of my hubris."Momo said, her voice cracking as she broke down.
Followed by the rest of the class as they tried to struggle with their own weakness, helplessness, and hesitancy.
Inko, who heard everything it brought her great joy that her boy actually had friends who would cry over him. She composed herself and wiped her tears before walking inside.
"Hello?" Inko knocked getting the attention of everyone in the room.
Kendo and Uraraka immediately recognized the woman, and everyone could immediately tell who she was.
"Mrs Midoriya."Came majorities of the class who quickly wiped their tears. Before she was bombarded with apologizing, they all bowed their heads.
She immediately shook her head and walked up to them."My son always the caring boy, never wanted people to worry about him, yet if he thinks someone hurt he will go above and beyond to make them feel better. And I know my boy would never want his friends to worry about him or cry over him."
She said as she sat next to him and clutched his hand, which was still warm."Ever since the school day began, he would go on and on about his friends and his class he always spoke to about you with a smile like you have never seen before."
This made some of the class smile.
And despite what the doctors say, I know my little champion is fighting like hell just to get back to you. So please don't cry for my boy... remain strong for him."She said as her voice cracked, trying her best not to cry.
The group wiped their tears before nodding.
"You heard, guys! We shouldn't cry! We are heroes will cry when he wakes up!"Kirishima and Tetsutestu shouted.
"Yeah, Dekiru is gonna come back to us! And we all smile together!"
"Midori is tough. A little poison won't keep him down!"
"He always gets back up!"Kendo yelled and then everyone heard a groan. Everyone turned to see the origin of the groan to see it was Midoriya as she clutched her mother's hand.
A few minutes and the boy was still unconscious, but they smiled, feeling some hope.
As the class left, the mother unable to hold in the tears broke down in her son's hand "I already lost your father I don't think I could bear to lose you too Izuku so please... wake up, sweetie."
A few hours later
It was nighttime time most people had gone home, someone in a black hoodie and dark cap was walking towards Izuku's room, They slid open first thing they saw were a pile of tissues on the desk with flowers and get better cards. A growl was heard from the stranger.
"Well, hope satisfied with yourself, Deku." The unmistakable voice of Bakugou.
"Always chasing after me no matter how many times I put in your place, you just kept coming back!" Bakugou said he's facing furious the silence and constant reminders of the monitor beeping.
"Damnit, I told you not to apply nerd! I told you would die!"Bakugou shouted
"I didn't need you! I had everything under control! I was just playing with their villains!!"Bakugou yelled, and the lack of response only made him more angry.
"When the hell did you get so strong? When did you stop being the useless nerd? When the fuck did I began chasing you!?"Bakugou said as his voice cracked.
"DAMNIT, DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT!" He clutched his head in anger.
"It wasn't enough that you beat me in the entrance exam, quirk test, and the fucking battle trial but you just had to prove how useless I was in that fight!"Bakugou shouted tears streaming down his face.
"Say something! Anything! Say how better you have gotten, go on those losers in our class! Say something... anything..."Bakugou said as memories of how he tormented him replayed in his head the same loser who protected him saved him that was a fact. "Damn it."
[Next day]
The U.A. dorms were announced, and the kids were given a day off as they began to build the dorms. Some of them were excited as they were given a chance to know each other better. Nezu decided to put both heroes in the same dorm for commodity.
"So this is it..."Kaminari said.
"Yep," Mineta said as they looked at the building.
A heavy sigh came from Monoma."Being in the same common room as you class 1-A will give us time to learn your weakness. And completely destroy in the sports festival!"
"Seriously dude you're not going to antagonize for the next three years?"Sero asked with his eye twitching.
The blonde just left while chuckling as he entered the building. "U.A's Heights Alliance!"
As he they entered, they saw Todoroki peacefully reading a book in the common room. Yaoyorozu was making herself some tea while Sato was baking something delicious.
Ashido entered a forced smile across her face. "Woah what are you making dude?"
Sato blushed."Oh uh, it's well some muffins y'know just something nice we could all enjoy."
Kendo came down the stairs with Setsuna stretching. "What's that? My nose smells something divine!"
"Oh, can I have some?" Kendo asked.
Sato nodded. "There should be enough for everyone."
Monoma even couldn't resist the amazing baking coming from the kitchen. Soon Kodai and Jirou walked down the stairs as Kaminari had less than PG thoughts of those two coming down at the same time."Woah you two came down at the same time!?"
"Yeah, we she was helping me unpack whatever thought you were having to keep'em to yourself," Jirou said.
"Oh great we have two perverts," Kodai said as she walked down the stairs.
"Hey! I'm not--"
"Kaminari we have caught you leering at us more than once, almost as much Mineta," Jirou said as chuckles came from some of the students. As Kaminari shrunk in embarrassment.
Monoma looked appalled. "Class 1-A has such an individual?! How disturbing."
"Please control your urges."Shiozaki said as she walked in with a bible in hand."It would be sinful if you try anything and that will be met with swift and painful punishment."
Kaminari gulped in fear. Mineta ever the pervert. "I would be into that."
Shiozaki just ignored him as she grabbed a muffin that looked strikingly like Midoriya with the green icing with the black sprinkles. The girl sighed before she put her hands together and prayed. She opened her eyes for a few minutes before enjoying the cupcake.
As the two enjoyed cupcakes with tea before heading to bed early, Kendo went to her bed as she laid in her bed looking at a picture of Izuku receiving an official gi with the dojo's logo on its back."Please be okay..."
Uraraka looked at her the one Dekiru ended up making her. "I wish you were here with me..."
Kodai looked at her text message with Izuku, they would end up talking all night since she gave him her phone number. She smiled. "I still have no idea how you stutter over text..."
Jirou strummed at her guitar the one she got from him when they met at the concert, she blushed with a smile. "Wake up you idiot."
Iida laid on his back remembering how they met, he even he would admit he was kinda of an idiot. "Midoriya I will take up the responsibility till you return as the class is representative."
Todoroki sat in his room. "Midoriya. I hope you get better, you're I don't know why but I know you as my rival I'll grow stronger. I will beat you at the sports festival."
Yaoyorozu was lying in her bed the memory of her meeting him replayed in her mind as she slowly closed her eyes a blissful taking her as her heart began to beat as the words of Billy replayed, and she blushed. "Hope I get to see you again, Midoriya..."
"Thanks, Midoriya, for saving us, dude..."Mineta said in his room.
"Midoriya, please wake up... we all miss you," Tsuyu said.
"Hope we get to enjoy some movies together.."Pony thought to herself.
"Midori... I don't think I can lose you."Ashido said as remembered how he saved her.
"Hope we get to know each other more, Midobro..."Kirishima said.
"Midoriya... you are certainly different wake up so our big sis can stop worrying, " Monoma said
In the hospital room. All Might clutched the boy's arm, and tears began to roll down his face, "You are my pride and joy, you were so brave I have never been so damn proud yet so sad... you were my responsibility. I was supposed to guide you, but I have failed you... as a mentor and a teacher, you were never supposed to carry my burden."Toshinori said as tears rolled down his face.
"I'm sorry, Hisashi. I failed you..." As the memories of the moment when they met, all the good times watching him grow, fighting side by side as Four Arms brought him a smile. In his time as a hero, he wasn't new to a hero's death but this... this pain of his protege laying in his bed he had never felt before. In some ways, it was like his son was dying in front of him
"Please, Izuku, wake up." All Might said.
The words of everyone echo in Izuku's mind, all the pleading for him to wake he heard Kendo asking him to wake up, Jirou calling him an idiot, Bakugou scoffing telling him to wake the fuck up, Yaoyorozu and the rest of his classmates.
The Omnitrix began to glow, and Toshinori gasped as the colours danced around the Omnitrix that began glowing with yellow, green, white, blue, red, and purple glowed with power as it filled the room.
"Young Midoriya..."
With Izuku, he was in a dark void, his body covered with black mist and green outlining. he opened his eyes as he suddenly remembered long forgotten rushed at him as he looked at a strange figure with green glowing eyes, freckles, and a hairstyle that looked striking to his own.
"Izuku, you will be the greatest hero."
"B-But I'm quirkless."
" I see this fire in you, I see something in you like no other. You are my son, and I have no doubt you will be the greatest!"A familiar voice one Midoriya had forgotten so long ago.
"Hey, son! Did you get a girlfriend? I want grand babies!"
"Dad, stop! I'm like 9!" Izuku shouted as he was hoisted in the air by the man onto his shoulder.
"My sweet Inko! Hate to say it, but I love our son more than you." He said with a smile as the boy was playing with an All Might figure.
She kissed him on the cheek. "I know."
As another memory came in...
"Help me save me from the mean dragon!"
The man roared as he released a small fire breath."I'm going to eat you up!"
The women blushed as they heard a young voice. "I am here!" 4-year-old Midoriya ran in a heroic pose as he threw a punch at the man who fell down."Noooo! You have defeated me, hero!"
As the family all hugged both parents in between the boys, he was smiling so brightly. Midoriya fell to his knees and cried at the memories. "H-How could I forget?"
"I don't know if I should be jealous of All Might or not." He mumbled as he put a post of him in his son's room.
Midoriya looked at memories as tears began flowing from his face.
He felt a comforting hand on his head he looked to see a familiar pair of green eyes and freckles. "Your mom's probably worried sick you probably should wake up."
"D-Dad?"He muffled out. He couldn't speak.
The figure was a black mist, his emerald green eyes shining through the darkness but their voice was unmistably his voice.
"One For All is growing. You can't be in this world for long Izuku."
He was suddenly 10 years old again as his Dad put his head on his forehead."I'm sorry I left you and your mom, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I wish I saw you grow. I wish I knew what your favourite food is, I wanna know what your friend you have made, I wanna know what struggles you went through, I'm taking Shinomri's time but he gave me this time just to speak to you, I love you please tell your mother that! God, please tell me you didn't get my muttering. Oh, at least you grew out of it. And..."
The world around him began to grow foggy, he struggled to talk with him his hands as his words began to become like muffled sounds, he couldn't say anything.
"Dad!?"
He shot up from his bed as tears streamed down his face. As then a loud shattering noise came, he turned to his side to see Uraraka, who had just dropped some flowers in a vase.
Today was Friday, and a few of the students decided to visit Midoriya hopefully when he was awake, Kyouka was walking when he heard the unmistakable voice of Izuku. "Green?"
She suddenly bolted to his room, and everyone looked in confusion."Jirou?"
"He's awake! I heard him!" Jirou exclaimed. Everyone widened before looking at each other, shrugging and running at full speed.
All Might, who heard her widened before sprinting himself, "Young Midoriya, please... be true." As he pulled out his phone and began to dial the boys' mothers' number.
Kyouka had been running with her hearing she could the sobs of Uraraka and the comforting voice of...
"Uraraka, don't cry. I'm okay." The unmistakable voice of Midoriya she ended up at his door to see Uraraka crying in his arms, tears began to build up at the corner of her eyes as Midoriya suddenly felt another pair of arms. "You idiot! Don't do that again!"
"Jirou..."He said with a smile. As more footsteps came to the door as he suddenly felt more arms wrapped around him.
"You're not dead!!"
"Dude, you had us so worried!"
"Midori!!"Ashido sobbed.
"I was so scared!" Yaoyorozu said she sobbed
"I'm just happy you're finally awake," Kendo said
Midoriya could only return the hug to his friends."I'm back, don't worry, I'm here."
All Might saw the green-haired boy hugging his classmates. "He's awake." Tears rolled down his face as he could the footsteps of one Inko Midoriya to see her boy smiling and awake."Izuku?"
"Hey, mom," Izuku said with a smile.
"MY BABY!!"The class finally got an answer about where Midoriya got his tears from.
