Deep into his slumber, Midoriya once again found himself in the familiar void that he had experienced previously only a few times. Except this time things were slightly different. Unlike before, he wasn't floating around in a miasma of endless darkness. Now, there was a heavy green aura permeating the space that was this bizarre dream realm.

'This again? I haven't had this dream in a while.' The boy thought to himself while trying to get his bearings.

"Hey nerd, I'm over here!" A noticeably irritated voice called out to him.

"Wha-"

Midoriya quickly turned around to face his apparent guest, only to immediately pause at what he was looking at. There, causally floating in the space in front of him was a very familiar face. It was a short woman with curly green hair dressed in a form-fitting black gown with long sleeves and four high-cut leg slits that show off her legs and low-heeled black shoes.

"Tornado?!" The green haired youth shouted in bewilderment.

"No, I'm the fucking Santa Clause. Of course it's me you brat! Has it seriously taken this long for you to piece that together?"

"What is going on?"

"Look...as much as I would love to have a much needed conversation with you, you're about to wake up soon so we don't have a lot of time."

"What do you mean?" He questioned. Even though this was obviously a dream, Midoriya had a feeling that there was a bit more to it. He couldn't quite explain it, but it was like he was having a conversation with a real person. Not just the fabricated image of someone already dead.

"Just shut up and listen." The woman quickly chided. "Because of our current...arrangement, I've been able to watch the world through your eyes. You're not a total lost cause and I'll admit that you have enough potential for me not to feel totally embarrassed about you now having my quirk."

"Thanks?"

"But my main problem with you is that you're too damn soft. I'm not just talking about when it comes to hero work, but in general. You're easily one of the strongest students in your school. But you insist on holding back and acting like you're not at the top of the food chain."

"I'm...not that kind of person." He replied sincerely.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. You're as soft as marshmallow fluff. And because of that Baka-gou douche you make it a point not to act like you're better than everyone else. Although I find that kind of thinking absolutely ridiculous, I can somewhat respect it."

"Thank you?" He tilted his head in confusion once again. Was this just her way of complimenting people.

"Look nerd, all I'm going to tell you is that you're gonna need to put your sympathy aside when it comes to real hero work. It's okay to have a kind heart, but don't let that cloud your judgement."

"I understand."

"Good. That's all I have to say for now. The next time we see each other you'd better be ready. Because I plan on shoving my foot all the way up your ass and teaching you a thing or two about how to actually use this quirk." Were the last words that Tatsumaki spoke before disappearing into the darkness.

Tokage was up bright and early the next day to make sure that she was ready for class. In fact, the girl had woken up half an hour before her alarm for no apparent reason at all. Seeing as going back to bed would've probably been a bad move, she decided to just go about her morning routine as usual.

After showering and brushing her teeth, the 'lizard tail splitter' user was chilling out on her bed listening to music and catching up on some of the latest yaoi manga. She was still wondering exactly how she was going to go about her talk with Midoriya later. But she had plenty of time to figure out the right approach.

Suddenly, a knock came from her door. 'Who is that?' She wondered. Not feeling the motivation to get out of bed, the green haired teen simply yelled across the room. "It's open!"

Surprisingly, Reiko Yanagi was the one to enter the room. She was slightly hoping that Midoriya would be the one to pay her a visit. Especially since she was in the mood for an early morning make out session before class. But life was never that easy, was it?

"You got a minute?" The grey haired teen asked.

"Yeah, what's up?"

Yanagi took a second to sit down in the T-Rex themed computer chair across the room from Tokage's bed. The girl stayed silent for a moment as she thought about her next words. "You know, don't you?"

"About what?" Tokage tilted her head in confusion.

"About Izuku-kun."

"What about Izuku?"

"I saw you looking at his abdomen yesterday after we dealt with those villains. You didn't really do a good job at hiding it." Was her reply.

The atmosphere of the room quickly changed at that moment. And Tokage's eyes widened briefly at what her stoic classmate was implying. Did Yanagi already know? How? And for how long? It was no secret that her and Midoriya were practically best friends. The two were the "dynamic duo" of 1-B after all.

"What are you t-talking about, Ghosty?" The green haired girl feigned ignorance.

"You know what I mean...his scars."

Seeing as the jig was up, Tokage didn't really see a point in pretending anymore. "So...how long have you known?"

"I found a few days after our internships when the two of us were testing out my first hover-disc. I promised not to tell anyone. So as far I know, the only students who know about it are me and you." Yanagi explained.

"I see." The girl nodded. Naturally she had a lot of questions now running through her mind. But she chose to stick with something easy. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Is he doing anything? I could tell that it's been a while since the last time he did it because none of the scars looked...fresh. But I just want to make sure that he's okay."

"I'm really not supposed to tell you this...but he's started seeing Hound Dog for counseling. He's supposed to go every Thursday. And he asked me to cover for him when he's gone."

'So that's where he was last week.' Tokage said to herself. She wondered where he suddenly ran off to after class that day. And Yanagi's explanation of him staying back to talk to Cementoss did seem a bit weird at the time. But at least now all of that made sense.

"Well at least the school knows about it." Which meant that he was getting the help he needed.

"Yes, but Nezu-san, Kan-sensei, Recovery Girl, Midnight-sensei and Hound Dog are the only ones who know."

"Wait, what?!" Tokage nearly shouted. Kayama knew about this? Since when? Obviously she could see why her aunt of all people chose not to tell her. But man was that a shock to the system.

"Yeah…"

"Okay." The green haired girl then said before standing up from her bed. "This is actually perfect. I was planning on talking to Izuku about this today after class. And I think it would be good for you to be there."

"Seriously?" Yanagi questioned.

"Yeah, I can't just sit on this. I am his girlfriend after all. I may not know a lot about this stuff outside of what my sister told me. But I do want him to know that I'm here for him."

Yanagi took a second to think about this plan of hers. Of course, there were a number of reasons why that might not be such a good idea. Mainly because Midoriya had already told her that he wanted to tell Tokage on his own. But now that the secret was out, it was probably for the best that she be there to help keep the tension down. "Alright, I'll help you. He probably won't like it, but I think it's a good idea."

"Thanks, Ghosty! You're the best!" She flashed the grey haired teen a toothy grin. "We can talk more about it later during class. But for now, we need to just play it cool."

"That's fine." The 'poltergeist' user simply nodded.

With that, the two girls spent the rest of their morning brainstorming exactly how they were going to have this talk. There were still a few topics that they wanted to discuss. Especially what they overheard between Midoriya and Katsuragi. So this was probably their best chance to lay everything out on the table.

Hopefully, things were going to go over as smoothly as they hoped.

"Hey check it out. You guys made it onto the news!" Awase loudly announced to the entire room while holding out his cellphone.

"Seriously?" Kaibara asked, quick to pull out his own phone to see if it was true.

The trio's return to class certainly proved to be a lively affair. Especially since their exploits from the day prior had apparently made national news. With their curiosity now piqued, all of the 1-B students were reading through the hero tabloid article in question. One titled: "Newcomers Make A Splash To Save The Day!". Which was further highlighted by a photo of the three students standing next to Katsuragi.

"Wow, you guys actually stopped one of those bombings, shroom?" Komori asked.

"Nice job you guys." Kendou complimented them.

"Oh wait, here's my favorite part!" Honenuki began chuckling in his seat before clearing his throat and turning towards the others. "Among the rookie heroes was U.A. student, Izuku Midoriya. The young man has not been seen publicly since the events of the Training Camp incident a couple of months ago, but appears to be doing well from what we can see. With the news that the boy is now working under famed rescue hero, Blizzard, rumors have begun circulating about a possible familial relationship between the two. With their similar appearance and identical quirks, many have begun to theorize that Midoriya could be a relative of the Psychic Sisters. But such claims cannot be confirmed at this time." The lipless teen read out loud.

Upon hearing this, Midoriya visibly deflated and drug his hand across his face.

"There, there Izuku." Tokage tried consoling him but did little to hide the amused smirk on her face. "You know tabloid articles only do this to get views. This is why Aunt Nemu said to never read them."

"Yeah...I know."

"Tetsutetsu-kun and Pony made it onto the news this weekend too." Bondo pointed to the two students in question.

"Really, what happened? You didn't tell me about that." Tokage looked to her longtime friend.

"Me, Amajiki and Fatgum busted a group of drug dealers at a festival in Osaka on Saturday night. It was pretty crazy."

"We ended a fight with two gigantic villains. Working with Nejire-senpai, Tsu-chan and Ryukyu-sama was extra exciting!" The horned teen followed up.

"Wow, sounds like you guys are having a blast with your work studies." Shoda said.

"Unfortunately I've decided that doing a work study wouldn't be the best for me right now. I want to focus on my grades for the time being. Taking attention away from academics would be a sin." Shiozaki admitted, albeit a bit bashfully.

"Same." Komori, Kaibara and Shoda agreed.

"Yeah, it makes sense that you guys would jump at the chance seeing as you're all "A" students. Even Juzo and Monoma are doing them." The 'gyrate' quirk user said while trying to hide his shame.

"I'm just glad that Snatch agreed to take me on." The lipless teen responded.

"Monoma, you start with Crust this weekend, right?" Tsuburaba then asked the 'copy' quirk user.

"Indeed I am!" The boy said with a confident smirk.

"You guys shouldn't let this discourage you though." Kendo told her classmates. "Everyone learns at a different pace. Honestly, I'm lucky that Gunhead agreed to only let me work weekends with him. Otherwise I'd have to take those supplementary lessons with Ectoplasm-sensei."

Before long, Kan entered the classroom and ordered the students to take their seats. "Good job out there for everyone in the work study group. The principal was impressed by how well everyone handled themselves. However, this doesn't mean that you all get to slack off when it comes to school."

"Of course, sensei!"

"Now that we got that out of the way, everyone clear your desks because we're having a pop quiz! I hope you all studied, because today's topic is international hero regulations!"

"Ugh!" The entire class groaned at that announcement.

It was late into the afternoon by the time Midoriya returned to the 1-B dorms. His counseling session with Hound Dog went a bit longer than usual, but he still had more than enough time to get back to his room and relax. The moment he walked into the building, the first thing he noticed was Monoma, Tsuburaba and Kamakiri sitting in the common area with their textbooks and homework spread out over the table. He gave the three boys a quick wave before immediately heading up to his room and changing out of his uniform.

T-Rex: Hey, you back yet?

Rabbit: Yeah.

T-Rex: Can I come to your room?

Rabbit: Sure

-(o)-

Barely a few minutes later, the inevitable knock came from the boy's bedroom door. When he opened it, he was a bit surprised to see not only Tokage standing there, but Yanagi as well.

"Hey, what's up?" He gave the two an odd look. Mainly because of the uneasy expressions on their faces.

Neither of the girls responded before entering the room and closing the door behind them. Midoriya could practically feel the tension coming off their bodies as they sat down on his bed and computer chair. And he could immediately tell that something was wrong.

"Is everything okay?" The green haired boy questioned. All Tokage and Yanagi did was quickly glance at one another before the grey haired teen began to speak.

"There really isn't any easy way to say this but…she knows." Yanagi motioned over to the boy's girlfriend.

"Knows what?"

"About your…issue."

For a brief few seconds, all Midoriya did was look at the two girls with a perplexed expression on his face before the realization hit him. His head then snapped towards Tokage so fast that you could almost hear the bones in his neck crack. Silence was all that could be heard between the group as Tokage tried to avoid his gaze. More so out of fear than anything.

"H-how…"

"I kinda…saw them when you spent the night in my room a couple of weeks ago." The girl shamefully admitted. "I tried getting a peek at your abs when you were asleep and well…yeah…"

The world around Midoriya suddenly began to spin as the boy tried to figure out what to do. Tokage knew. His girlfriend knew about his scars. That wasn't good, this was definitely not good. He planned to tell her about it eventually, but not like this. He wanted it to be a good moment. Not completely sprung on him out of the blue like this.

Practically able to read the boy's mind thanks to the almost distressed look on his face, Tokage was quick to jump up from her seat and wrap Midoriya into a tight hug. "I'm sorry. I know you didn't want me to find out. And I really shouldn't have done that."

"I-it's umm…." He whispered out. As much as Midoriya wanted to be upset about finding this out, now wasn't a good time. He needed to do damage control and getting angry about this wasn't the right move to make.

"Ghosty already told me that you're not doing...that anymore. But I still just wanted to talk to you about it."

"I see." Midoriya sighed then moved over to his bed.

"We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, Izuku-kun." The grey haired teen reassured him.

"No, it's...I actually think it would be good to finally get this off my chest." He replied before looking over to his girlfriend. "So I guess you probably have a lot of questions, huh?"

"Well yeah…." She said. "But you don't have to tell us anything if you don't want to."

Silence then filled the room as all eyes turned back on to Midoriya. Both girls would be lying if they said that they weren't the least bit curious about this themselves. Even Yanagi was still in the dark on most of the details.

"To be honest...I don't really know where to begin. I guess I'll just start with telling you that I'm not cutting anymore. It's been a while since the last time."

"How long is a while?"

"The first week of school."

'Okay, so it's been more than a few months.' That gave Tokage some slight relief. Considering everything that happened in between now and then, she was glad to hear that it had been so long.

"And how long have you been doing it?"

Once again, Midoriya took in another deep breath before explaining. "I can't really remember when I started, but it was sometime around my first year of middle school."

"Why?" Was the million dollar question. She already had a pretty good idea as to why, but Tokage just wanted the confirmation to confirm her fears.

"You guys both know that I was actually born quirkless, right?" He asked, earning the affirmative nods from the two girls. "You know how most people develop their quirks by the time they're four years old? Well, that wasn't the case for me. I only got mine a little over a year ago."

Okay, this wasn't anything new to them. Midoriya had already told them this before.

"I'm sure that I don't need to tell any of you this, but quirkless people are looked down upon by society. Especially in younger generations."

Neither of them bothered giving a verbal answer. It was the sad reality of living in a superhuman society. Sure quirkless people made up twenty percent of the world population, but that number was closer to four percent in Japan. Even then, over ninety-five percent of that consisted of the elderly. In fact, neither of them had ever met a quirkless person so far as they knew before Midoriya.

"Naturally, I was bullied a lot because I didn't have a quirk. Almost every single day at school I would get attacked or beaten up because of it." Midoriya continued.

"This happened at school? The teachers didn't know?" Yanagi questioned him, surely the adults had to have known about this.

"Oh no, they definitely knew about it. It's like I said, people don't have a very high opinion of those born without a quirk, that included the school faculty. More often than not, they would just turn a blind eye to it or just write it off completely."

"That's so fucked up." The green haired girl winced. With all of the preaching that goes around about not treating people differently because of their quirks, apparently the rules didn't apply to those without one.

"Yeah...and the worst of it came from Bakugou." He said.

Tokage and Yanagi paused at this announcement. It was no secret that Midoriya wasn't Bakugou's favorite person in the world. The guy gave him a death glare whenever the two just so happened to be in the same room. No one knew what the cause of the bad blood between them was, but now the pieces were starting to come together.

"He used to bully you?"

"Yeah, pretty much every day. We used to be friends when we were younger. But as soon as he got his quirk he started acting like he was better than everyone else. And since I was the only one in school that didn't have a quirk, I was the prime target for him to...practice on."

"And no one stopped him?"

"No... The teachers didn't want him to have any negative marks that would've hindered him from getting into a top hero school. I'm pretty sure they saw his potential and thought that they could somehow benefit from him making it as a pro."

"That's bullshit." Tokage scoffed, folding her arms with indignation. Sure Bakugou was powerful, but calling his quirk "heroic" was a stretch. Flashy and destructive, sure.

However, the boy's words did give them a bit more insight behind what those villains they ran into might have been thinking. They highly doubted that Midoriya was a special case. More than likely, stuff like that was the norm for everyone who wasn't lucky enough to be born with a quirk.

"I'll spare you guys the details of my everyday life, mainly because I'd rather not relive all of that. But eventually, it just got to be too much for me."

"What do you mean by eventually?"

"I had a really bad day at school one day. It started out pretty normal, well normal for me at least. But that particular day, Bakugou was in one of his moods and left me in pretty shape. He found out that I still wanted to become a hero even though I didn't have a quirk and wanted me to understand that it was pointless for me to try. To him, me trying to achieve the same dream as him was an insult to his superiority. I'm pretty sure that's the reason why he hated me so much."

"Why am I not surprised?" Tokage huffed in annoyance.

"That guy never did seem like the mentally stable type." Said Yanagi. She had a few of those at her old middle school. It was actually the reason why she found Midoriya so odd at the start of the year. Kids with strong quirks were usually arrogant and overconfident in their abilities.

"Him and his friends ended up leaving me in pretty bad shape. He even torched one of my hero notebooks just for fun. After that, I needed to cool my head off so I decided to take the long way home from school. And that's when I got attacked by the 'Sludge Villain'."

Both girls' eyes blew open at that, it was a pretty big news story a while ago.

"To make a long story short, he almost got me before All Might just so happened to show up and save me."

"All Might-sensei saved you?"

"Yeah." The boy nodded. "Apparently he was tracking him down and just so happened to show up at the right time."

"There's something I've always been curious about, Izuku-kun." Yanagi suddenly changed topics. "I didn't want to say anything since I don't know the full story. But you don't like All Might-sensei that much, do you?"

"Yeah...I guess you could say that."

"But why?" Now it was Tokage's turn to ask questions. All Might was the number one hero. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who didn't like the guy. Especially if he was the one to save you from getting kidnapped by a villain.

It was then where Midoriya gave them the full rundown on what exactly transpired between the two on the rooftop that day. Needless to say, both girls were shocked by what they heard. Of course there were two sides to every story, but for the number one hero to leave a kid on the top of a building after telling him something so heartbreaking was insane. They were now curious about how many times something like that had happened. Unfortunately for all of them, they still had no idea that Midoriya's memories of that event were altered thanks to All for One.

"I'm not going to pretend that he was wrong. Realistically speaking...he was only telling me something that any responsible adult would in that situation. But at that moment, He might as well have shoved a knife through my chest."

"That's horrible." The green haired girl gripped his hand a bit tighter. Trying to keep herself level-headed.

"After that, my brain kind of went foggy and I found myself wandering the streets. I can't remember exactly how long I was walking around, but eventually I found myself on a random train heading to who knows where."

"And then what happened?"

"I pretty much just ran away from home. I couldn't deal with my life anymore. And after that talk with All Might, I just needed to get away from everything."

Tokage's vision was starting to get blurry as tears began welling up in her eyes. She may have already known about it, but listening to him admit it was just so much worse.

"I was wandering the streets for about two weeks from what I can remember. I spent most of the time just drifting from place to place before eventually winding up in the middle of Saitama Prefecture." He explained, deciding to leave out the part about the events that happened in between.

"And that's when we ran into each other?" It was more of a statement from Tokage than an actual question.

"Yeah." He nodded. "Things are still kind of hazy on how I ended up there. But by that time I had been moving around the city for a while."

"You two met before?" Yanagi gave them a curious look.

"Yeah." Tokage answered. "I was on the way home from school and just so happened to run into him. He was passed out in an alleyway and covered in dirt."

"Shit…"

"After I uh...left, I wandered around for another couple of days before finding the orphanage where Unohana-san and the others live. T-this is kind of embarrassing to say, but I was rummaging through their trash one night when he spotted me."

"Seriously?"

"Mhmm." He hummed. "Him and Kosai-san decided to help me out so they let me stay there for a couple of days. That's pretty much the reason why I help out there all the time. To pay them back for what they did for me. It's actually kind of funny, of all the places I could've stumbled upon a home for quirkless kids was pretty unlikely."

"Yeah, talk about a lucky break."

"It was actually really nice. That was the first time in my life that I could actually be around people who understood what I was going through. Everyone there was really nice and I felt safe being there."

"That's understandable."

The conversation continued on like this for the better part of thirty minutes as Midoriya told them the rest of the story. How he and Unohana quickly became good friends. How they talked about their lives and the unhealthy way of how they learned to cope with their stress. Truly, it was the first time in a while where he was comfortable being around people without having to constantly look over his shoulder.

"Wait, but you already had your quirk by then." Tokage then said, slightly confused about this entire timeline of events.

"You're right." He nodded. "I kept it a secret from them because I didn't know what they would think of me. Pus, I had no clue how to use it at that time so I avoided it. Actually, the first time it manifested was that day we met."

"Wow."

"Eventually I decided to go back home to my mom. Needless to say, it wasn't the most pleasant of reunions."

"I wouldn't doubt it." Tokage gave him a weak grin. She didn't know a lot about Inko outside of what he told her. But the woman did seem like the overly emotional type. Then again, any mother would be if their child suddenly disappeared for an entire month.

"We kinda got off topic here, but yeah. That's pretty much it. After coming back home, I told my mom about everything that happened and about my cutting. It got really awkward around the house and to be honest things haven't been particularly good between me and her since then. But me and my parents agreed to pull me out of school and I did home-schooling to make sure that I was away from everything."

"I say you should've gone back to that hellhole and showed everyone who's boss. Especially Bakugou, we all know that you're stronger than him so you would've been more than justified to put him in his place!" Tokage slammed her fist into her open palm. If there was one thing she hated, it was a bully who had no business terrorizing others. She had to deal with a bit of that herself in school. But not nearly to the level that Midoriya did.

"I couldn't." Midoriya shook his head. "That just would've caused too many problems. Plus, the last person I wanted to see was him."

"I guess you lucked out when your quirk finally developed, then. Still, it's amazing that you're as nice as you are now." Yanagi said to him. "To be honest, if I were in your shoes I wouldn't have had that much self control."

"Well, I'm just not that kind of person. The last thing I want is to start acting like the people who hurt me. It wouldn't be right."

"I can agree with that." Tokage looked at him and smiled. She was happy that he was finally telling her all of this. She had only been given small pieces here and there. But now that they had the full picture, she had a new level of respect for him. To be fair, Midoriya had more than enough reason to hate the entire world.

"Since we're on the subject of quirks…" Yanagi spoke up with a skeptical look in her single blue eye. Moving on to the main reason why she wanted to have this talk. "There's something else that we wanted to talk to you about."

"And what's that?" Midoriya asked.

The two girls glanced over at one another for a brief moment before Tokage decided that she should be the one to start the conversation. "Well…" The girl awkwardly grinned and rubbed her hands together. "The other day when we were all at the agency, we sorta kinda overheard you and Fubuki…talking."

If Tokage's mannerisms were anything to go, Midoriya knew that whatever it was that she was referring to had to be important. "About what?"

"Your quirk." Yanagi flatly stated. "More specifically, something about you being in possession of her sister's quirk and that the two of you were actually related."

"What?"

"Yeah…"

Now it was Midoriya's turn to once again dawn an uneasy look on his face. For what seemed like the next few minutes the boy thought about exactly what he should say. It was already bad enough that he just got done recanting his entire life story. But now he was going to have to figure out a way out of this.

The more he thought about it, the more he started to wonder. Would telling them really be so bad? It wasn't like he couldn't trust either of them. Quite the opposite actually. After another few seconds of contemplation, Midoriya took in a dramatic breath and gave the both of them a slight smile.

"Well…that's a bit complicated." He started. "It's not like it's a secret or anything exactly. I-it's just…hard to explain."

"What do you mean?" Tokage asked him.

"Don't tell me that the two of you really are siblings." The 'poltergeist' user gave him a skeptical look.

Was it possible that Honenuki and Awase were right after all? Was Midoriya actually the 'Psychic Sisters' secret younger brother? Or at the very least a close family relative. It wasn't out of the realm of possibility. But considering what they overheard that day, there had to be more to it than that.

All Midoriya did was look at the two of them before letting out a sigh. "Okay, so here's the thing about that..."

-(o)-

~Twenty Minutes Later~

"So that's pretty much it." Said Midoriya, finally done talking after his rather lengthy explanation.

Across from him, the two girls were busy trying to piece their sanity back together. They really didn't know what they were expecting to hear. But what they got definitely took a minute to process.

"Well shit….That's…actually, I don't even know what to say about that." Yanagi was the first to speak.

"It's a lot to take in, isn't it?" Midoriya shakily replied with a wobbly grin.

"Okay, so let's make sure that I have this right." Tokage started while rubbing the sides of her head and looking him right in the eyes. "You were born quirkless. Honest to goodness, no bullshit, one hundred percent bonafide quirkless."

"Yes."

"And after you ran away from home, before running into me that day in the alley you were kidnapped by the villain boss that All Might fought during the rescue. All for One."

"Yes."

"It was actually more like I tried to break into his house to get out of the rain and he caught me."

"Irrelevant." The green haired girl quipped. "And after running into him, he brought you in for tea and talked to you for hours about quirks and random bullshit."

"That is correct."

"And this villain has the power to take, use and give away quirks at will." Yanagi continued.

"Yes."

"So after this lovely chat of yours, he for some reason decided to give you Tornado's quirk because he couldn't use it and thought that you'd be perfect for it."

"As far as I know."

"Which explains why you were one of the targets for the attack back at the camp. His plan was to eventually capture you when he needed you and turn you into one of his henchmen."

"You guys are doing great so far."

"Okay, we can come back to that later." Tokage interjected. There was already enough that they needed to work through before opening up that specific can of worms. "So after giving you Tornado's quirk, he fucked with your memory and transported you to Saitama Prefecture a few days before you ran into me."

"Things are still a bit hazy on that part. But I'm pretty sure that I was only with him for a day."

"So Tornado is actually dead and you are in possession of her quirk. You're not actually Fubuki-san's brother."

"Technically speaking…no. But Izuku does have my sister's cells in his body. So far all intents and purposes, we are related." The voice of Katsuragi spoke from the video chat on Midoriya's laptop. A few minutes into his explanation he decided that it was best to call her so that she could corroborate his story. "I know this is a lot for you two to take in, but we are telling you the truth."

"Oh no, we definitely believe you." Tokage replied to the woman.

"Yes, Izuku-kun is a pretty terrible liar. He couldn't come up with something this elaborate and say it all with a straight face."

Midoriya wanted to feel offended at Yanagi's words, but it was pretty hard considering it was the truth.

After pacing around the room for a bit, Tokage took a moment to move over to Midoriya's bed and prop herself up against his shoulder. Mainly because she needed something to relax on to help her brain cool off. But also because she just felt like being close to him right now. After all, it wasn't everyday that your entire perception of the very understanding of quirks and science was suddenly flipped on its head in a matter of minutes.

"You guys are actually taking this a lot better than I thought you would." Midoriya slightly chuckled.

"Oh don't worry, my brain already fried during the whole 'plus-alpha cell' transfer explanation."

"My grandfather always says that reality is often stranger than fiction. I guess this is what he was referring to." Yanagi commented.

"I'm actually surprised that you two are only finding out about it now. I thought that Izuku would've told you a while ago." Said Katsuragi.

"Y-yeah well, there wasn't really a good way for me to bring it up." The boy laughed.

"Izuku, don't take this the wrong way, but your life sounds like the plotline of an overly complicated yet surprisingly well written manga series." Tokage deadpanned.

'Or some train wreck of a fanfiction written by a guy with no social life.' The grey haired girl thought to herself.

"Well, as much fun as this was I have to get going. I have some business that I need to attend to. I'm probably going to be calling the three of you in soon, so be ready for that."

"No problem boss lady!" Tokage gave a half-hearted wave to the screen.

"We'll see you later, Onee-chan." Midoriya also gave a wave before the screen went black.

Now that all of that nonsense was out of the way, Yanagi decided that now was a good time for her to take her leave. The grey haired teen still had some homework that she needed to finish, along with an episode of her favorite isekai series dropping soon. So she bid the two greenettes farewell. Leaving the young couple to have some alone time.

"Hey." The girl sat up and faced him.

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for trying to take a peek at you while you were asleep. I know there's no real excuse for that. But I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry."

"It's fine, I'm not upset over that at all." Midoriya waved his hands in front of him.

"No, no, there's no reason for you to forgive me. It was wrong and I shouldn't have done it. But I'm glad that you still trust me enough to tell me all of that."

"Setsuna it's fine, I promise."

"That is why I'm going to make it up to you right now!" The girl announced with a very obvious smirk before standing up facing him. Dramatically changing the atmosphere of the conversation. If anything, the girl needed something to relieve the tension in the room.

"What do you-" The boy didn't even get a chance to finish that statement before Tokage abruptly lifted the bottom of her triceratops themed t-shirt. Only getting as far as her ribcage before Midoriya let out a small shriek. "S-S-S-Setsuna, what are you doing?!"

"To make up for it, I'm going to let you touch my boobs!"

"W-what?!" A now red-faced Midoriya shouted in complete astonishment.

"Was that not good enough?" The girl continued smirking. "I guess I could take my bra off too if you think that will be fair."

"S-stop!" The boy continued to sputter out while covering his eyes out of embarrassment. He already knew that his girlfriend wasn't the most conservative person on the planet. But this was definitely a jump from the regular shenanigans.

"Oh no~." Tokage gasped dramatically and cupped her own cheek. "Don't tell me. You don't want to look at my body, do you? Wow Izuku, that hurts. My own boyfriend doesn't even want to cop a feel because he's so disappointed in my actions. Or is that you're not into me on a physical level?"

"T-that's n-n-not it all!" He replied hastily. "I think y-y-you have a r-really nice body."

"Oh, do you now?" Her predatory smirk grew even wider. This was way too easy. "So why don't have a look and prove it?"

"I can't do that right no- umph!"

The next thing the boy felt was Tokage put all her weight on top of him before falling backwards onto the bed. Despite his best effort, the girl had no trouble removing his hands from his face and planting a kiss on his lips.

"I'm sorry babe, but I just needed something to relieve the tension a bit."

"And that was your first choice?"

"Of course it was." She smiled and planted another peck on his cheek. "Besides…you should really be used to this by now."

"I honestly don't think I'll ever get used to that." He replied.

"It's cool, we have plenty of time to work on it." Tokage stated before continuing. "But seriously, I'm sorry for doing that. I'll find a way to make it up to you."

"It's fine, really. I'm actually really glad that I could finally get that off my chest. I felt pretty bad for keeping it a secret."

The two were silent for a few seconds as they gazed into each other's eyes. In all honesty, it was like a weight was lifted off the boy's shoulders.

"Since we're on the subject…" The girl began walking her finger up his chest. "You actually have a really nice body. Shame on you for hiding such a wonderful treasure from me this whole time. And those scars do give you kind of a rugged, bad-boy look."

"Well t-thank you." He smiled awkwardly. He knew exactly what she was trying to do. And it was nice knowing that his girlfriend was making an effort to let him know that she didn't mind.

Before he could say anything else, Tokage detached her left hand from her arm and sent it across the room to lock the door. "Y'know lover-boy, I really like that whole "making out in the air" thing we did the other night. It was pretty hot."

"Oh…really?"

"Yeah, and that started giving me some ideas. Ideas that I'm in the mood to try out right now~." The girl's tone was sultry and smooth. The next thing that happened was Tokage detaching her head and arms from her torso.

"A-and what ideas are those?"

"Oh…you're about to find out~. Don't worry, I promise to keep things slightly below an "R" rating."

All Midoriya could do was gulp at whatever possible scheme the girl had inside her head right now. "J-just promise to go easy on me."

"Not…a…chance…"

~A few days later~

It wasn't until the end of the week that Midoriya, Tokage and Yanagi had gotten a text message from Katsuragi telling them to meet her police headquarters in Tokyo. The woman was rather vague about the reason why. But the students pretty much assumed that it had something to do with what happened earlier in the week.

"Hey, where are you guys headed off too?" Honenuki asked the trio while also making his way out the door.

"Fubuki called us in. We're going to Tokyo." Tokage told him.

"Really? Me too!" Said the lipless teen. "Snatch told me to meet him at police headquarters."

"That's also where we're going." Yanagi spoke up.

"That can't be a coincidence." Midoriya wondered out loud, seemingly voicing the others thoughts.

The quartet of 1-B students made it all the way to the front gate before encountering a familiar face.

"Greetings." Fumikage Tokoyami said to them with a slight bow.

"What's up Bird-Man, how's it going?!" Tokage greeted him with a friendly wave. Tokoyami gave her a confused glance before Yanagi decided to clarify the misunderstanding.

"She likes making nicknames for people, don't pay too much attention to it."

"I see." The 'dark shadow' quirk user nodded.

"Did you get called in for a work study too, Tokoyami-san?" Midoriya questioned. "You said that you're working with Hawks, right?"

"That is correct. I know not the reason why, but I am to meet him at police headquarters in Tokyo for some sort of briefing."

All four of the 1-B students shared a couple of curious looks with one another before telling the raven headed teen that they were also going to the same place. It became apparent to them that whatever was going on, it must have been pretty big. Especially if the soon-to-be number two hero was involved.

Deciding not to waste any more time, the group of students all made their way over to the train station. For the most part they just chatted about regular school related topics. But Midoriya took the opportunity to ask something that had been on his mind for a while.

"So Tokoyami-san, what's it like in 1-A?" The green haired boy asked.

"It's been rather hectic in recent weeks due to my classmates having to take part in make up classes for the provisional license exam. But aside from that, nothing of note has come up recently." The emo teen replied.

"Your teacher seems like a real hardass compared to Kan-sensei. I bet he wasn't too happy that half of your class failed." Tokage said in a slightly amused tone.

"Indeed. Aizawa-sensei has been pushing the remedial students rather hard in preparation for their upcoming trial. Especially Shinsou-san since he's still further behind in his studies as opposed to the rest of the class."

"Sucks to hear that." Honenuki chimed in. "Hopefully the rest of them can pass this time around."

"I agree."

The group continued talking amongst themselves as they enjoyed the rest of the train ride. And before they knew it, the mob of students finally made their way to their destination. After checking in at the reception desk one of the on-duty cops led everyone to the main conference room. There they were all suddenly greeted with the sight of all of their mentors. Katsuragi, Ozehana, Hawks, Edgeshot and Snatch along with a few notable local and regional heroes. Even Kayama was amongst their ranks.

"Aunt Nemuri? What the hell are you doing here?" Tokage asked.

"Setsuna, I wasn't expecting to see you here." The "R-Rated" heroine said with an equally surprised tone. "I got called in this morning. Apparently there's supposed to be some sort of mission briefing."

"Does anyone else feel out of place?" Yanagi continued looking around the room.

"Oh good, you guys made it in time." Katsuragi then greeted the students.

"What's going on?" Midoriya looked to her.

"We'll go over all the details during the meeting. But it has to do with what happened this weekend."

After a few minutes of brief introductions, the main door to the conference room opened up and drew everyone's attention. The heroes and students glanced over to see a tall man with black hair and brown eyes dressed in an expensive looking grey suit. And without saying a word, he made his way over to the front of the room.

"Welcome everyone, I'm Chief Detective Yoshiko Watanabe. We'll have to save the pleasantries for later. We have much to discuss…"

A/N: Guys I swear, I'm trying to keep these chapters as short as possible. But for some reason I always end up going over 5000 words. The next few chapters are going to be long because of the build up. But after that they should be shorter.

1. So yeah, here's our quad for the raid team. Everyone pretty much suggested Honenuki and Tokoyami, so of course they'd be there. And I decided to throw Midnight into the mix because it made sense for what I have planned. Shiozaki and Monoma were going to be in the mix, but I'm saving those two for later in the story. (If you couldn't already tell, I've been teasing Monoma quite a bit so far.)

2. Someone suggested this to me in the comments, but the quirkless organization doesn't have an official title. If you guys have any suggestions that I could work with, I'd be more than willing to listen. I plan on them having a name by the next chapter.

Like always, thanks for reading and don't be afraid to leave a comment/review.
