And here's another one!


A Round of Robins

(Inspired by Far Cry 4)


Class 1-A is off on a field trip to Sul'list, a city entirely dedicated to the hero industry and the advancement of Pro Heroing as an industry. Here, heroes are the end-all and be-all of anyone's business; they are the juggernauts of the city, they are its rulers, they are its kings.

This is helped by the mayor of the city being a Pro Hero himself, a man that goes by the name of Sulphur, the Alkaline Hero. He is the head of a virtual empire in the city, the executive of a corporate dynasty, with hands that reach across all of Japan, and even to beyond its borders as well. He is one of the most powerful men in the country, and it is by his hand that Class 1-A have been invited into the city.

However, recently, there have been reports of violence in Sul'list. Nothing too serious, just a few idiots with bats trying to run the streets. At least, that's what the reports say. But any report of villainy is a serious report, according to the HPSC, but officials in the city have been resistant to inquiries.

But that does not concern the students of Class 1-A though, as they are all excited to be heading into the heart of the heroics industry and learn all that they can from the giants that came before them.

That is until their bus is ambushed outside of the city by villains, and they are caught in a brief firefight between the heroes of Sul'list and the villainous insurgency against them.

In the aftermath of the skirmish, with the villains being dragged away by the police, the students find themselves confronted by a hero force that has been militarised in the wake of these continuous villain attacks, forming ranks and structures outside of the scope of the HPSC and other hero organisations, and all without any oversight at all.

And Sulphur is nowhere to be found. He has been replaced by a woman named Robin, the Archer Hero, the new mayor of the city and head of its massive hero corporate empire...

And she greets Izuku with thunderous applause.

As it turns out, Robin's actual name is Tori Hada, and she was Inko Midoriya's best friend during her school days alongside Mitsuki Bakugo. Tori had trained to be a hero whilst Inko and Mitsuki had gone their own ways, but she had still been incredibly close friends with them up until Izuku's birth. Hell, she had been there for Izuku's birth, and, well...

Before Inko met Hisashi, his father, she and Tori had been lovers.

Izuku is shocked by this information, and finds himself regularly pulled aside by Tori during their stay in the city as they are led to their rooms in Tori's headquarters in the city, the two of them bonding over time as Tori treats Izuku like her nephew, spoiling him and sharing jokes and stories with him not just about the various heroes that she knows and her adventures throughout the years, but also the tales that she had about Inko and Hisashi and Mitsuki and the things that his mother had never told him.

However, Izuku can tell that there is something... off about Tori's actions and motivations. Whenever she receives a report about a villain attack, she responds to it in a very lax and carefree manner, and yet is not eager to answer questions about why the heroes of Sul'list have been militarised so much as they are. She is pushy and often times almost violent in attitude when someone interrupts them, is very dismissive of Izuku's classmates and treats them as hangers-on (Ofttimes referring to them as 'Pets' more than anything), constantly snarks to the teachers with them, and continuously dodges the question of where Sulphur has disappeared to.

And then are the heroes themselves that fall under Tori's control. Class 1-A and their caretakers find themselves continuously being blocked off from accessing important levels in their temporary facility, are restricted to specific paths throughout the city instead of being allowed to explore to their hearts content, and find that the heroes of the city are becoming more aggressive and the civilians under their watch are becoming more fearful of them as well.

Tori Hada, Robin the Archer Hero, is the Pagan Min of this story, acting kindly towards her Ajay Ghale in Izuku but ruthlessly towards everyone else. Sul'list is her Kyrat, and the heroes under her command are her Royal Guard.

And soon enough, Class 1-A will be the Golden Path to oppose her.

A group of villains launch a desperate attack on Tori's headquarters, but her men are able to repel and capture them. However, Class 1-A, barring Izuku, discreetly follow her men and their prisoners down into the facility's lower levels and are shocked to witness Robin's men execute them. Further learning that Tori has discreetly murdered Sulphur and taken his place as the head of his empire, the students flee her headquarters and find themselves linking up with the villains that stand in opposition to her.

Izuku, however, is left on his own with Tori, and that's when she reveals her final truth to him:

Izuku wasn't born via Hisashi. He was a child of rape when a man forced himself onto Inko. Tori had killed the man in a fit of rage when he found out, but when Inko told her friends that she wanted to abort the baby growing in her womb, it had been Hisashi and Tori herself who had convinced her to keep it, as Hisashi had wanted a child for their family, just not in this way.

However, Tori had been rendered infertile due to an incident in her past as a hero, and wishes for a child of her own. Knowing that Inko did not want the child herself, Tori plotted to steal little Izuku away from her when he was born and raise him as her own son. But her plot was discovered on the night of Izuku's birth, and she was sent packing by her former friends. From there, she had spent her days in misery, climbing up the hero ranks running on simple inertia, and eventually joining in a conspiracy of heroes to overthrow the leader of Sul'list, all before turning them in herself once the conspiracy had run its course and take up the reigns of the city herself, turning it and its commercial empire into her own personal fiefdom.

And now, the city of heroes is about to be torn apart by an impending civil war, with Class 1-A at the head of a growing army of villains and insurgents on one side, and Tori Hada and her force of oppressive heroes on the other, with Izuku caught in the middle...

And now it is about to get worse for everyone, because Inko has joust learnt of what has happened to her son and with whom he is speaking to, and by her words, there would be hell to pay.
