"Normally, I would reprimand you two for doing such dangerous maneuvers to fight All Might." Recovery Girl said as the two sat on the beds in her infirmary with All Might back in his near skeletal state by the window. "But good job."

"So we're not in trouble for it?"

"Don't be dumb!" Recovery Girl said bopping both of them on the top of their heads with her cane. "You're both still crazy! But, I did run a quick test and Hayato: you using your Quirk to that extent actually fixed your muscle issues." Recovery Girl said taking a seat.

"Really?" The three asked looking at her in surprise.

"Surprisingly, yes. What I assume happened is that the cells that were excited got the taste of the power once again and this time they turned off with the others. Now you're back to normal, or whatever you consider normal in this society." Recovery Girl explained before pointing at All Might. "And All Might, learn to hold back a bit! I managed to heal them but if they were any weaker, there would've been considerable damage to these boys!"

"I understand, my apologies." All Might said rubbing the back of his head. "That was amazing today, you really showed me how far you both have come. But this is the first leg of a very long race, you both have amazing potential you've barely managed to scratch the surface of." All Might said smiling at the two boys. Izuku blushed and rubbed the back of his head while Hayato chuckled and scratched the side of his head. "But for doing such an amazing job today, I'd like to reward you boys."

"With what?" Izuku asked as All Might looked out the window.

"Your training camp won't be for two weeks, and my unofficial niece invited me over to I-Island for the I-Expo next week." All Might said watching a plane soar above them. "She let me bring a plus one, but she had no problem accommodating for a plus two instead. This is to see my longtime friend, David, after all."

"Wait, so you want us to come with you to see this guy?" Hayato asked trying to remember where he had heard that name before.

"David? As in David Shield?!" Izuku asked jumping off the bed, beaming at his mentor who chuckled at his reaction.

"Yes, his daughter Melissa wants me to go see him. I haven't seen him in years, I can't wait to see how he's been after all of this time."

"This is so exciting!"

"I'm sure it is, but you two should rest up. You're going to need it. We leave Sunday night and we should be there Monday morning."

"Kiryuu. Midoriya." Shoto said as he saw the two leave the main building. The two turned to look at him and happily walked over.

"Yo, Todoroki." Hayato greeted raising an arm.

"Have you been waiting out here for us?" Izuku asked noticing the time.

"Pretty much. If you both don't mind, I'd like you both to come over to my house for a while." Shoto said making the two look at each other and nod.

"Sure."

"Why not?"

"Wow, talk about traditional." Hayato noted as they arrived at the Todoroki home. They made their way inside and took off their shoes to see a white-haired woman with traces of crimson hair carrying a bag of groceries in front of them.

"Shoto?" The woman asked before noticing the two boys that had arrived with him. "G-Guests?! You should've let me know ahead of time!"

"Uh-" Izuku and Hayato turned to look at Shoto who smiled and pointed at the woman.

"This is my sister, Fuyumi Todoroki. Fuyumi, this is Izuku and Hayato. My classmates."

"P-Please, make yourselves at home." Fuyumi said walking to the kitchen with her bag while Shoto smiled. The three made their way through the house and to the small garden in the middle of it.

"Nice place." Hayato said looking around before chuckling. "Your sister's pretty-"

"Hayato!" Izuku yelled making Hayato turn to look at him confused.

"-nice. Pretty NICE. What the hell did you think I was gonna say?"

"Don't mind her reaction, we're just not used to having guests over often." Shoto said as the three of them took a seat.

"I get it."

"I'm surprised by that, considering how popular Endeavor is." Izuku said making Shoto sigh.

"He's a bastard, who's gonna want to hang out with a man like him?"

"You know, maybe you should give your dad a chance." Hayato said while unbeknownst to them, the number two hero had just walked in and both him and Fuyumi were listening to their conversation.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean? He's been an asshole to me and my family for as long as I remember." Shoto said with venom evident in his voice making both Endeavor and Fuyumi sigh. "This scar, this isn't my mother's fault. It's HIS."

"I come from a broken family too. I know what I'm trying to say." Hayato said while Izuku decided to stay quiet, waiting to hear Hayato's point. "Up until recently, I never wanted anything to do with my parents either. They could've died and I would've either shrugged it off or celebrated, thinking they got what they deserved." Hayato said playing with his white hair. "But, then I remembered I'm only ever going to have one pair of parents. My grandpas are my grandpas and they can be my father FIGURES, but I only have one mom and one dad. I don't know how long it's going to take, but I know my family's going to be fixed the way my sister wants it to be." Hayato continued before smiling at Shoto. "Maybe you should at least give Endeavor the chance to be a dad before you decide you want nothing to do with him."

"But everything he did-"

"Everything he's done to you, already happened. There's no taking it back. But we don't know what the future has in store for us, and I say that knowing I interned under a guy that can see it." Hayato said before chuckling. "Just a chance, buddy. Just a chance."

"Maybe to move away from that subject, why did you invite us over?" Izuku asked noting the change in the younger Todoroki's demeanor.

"Well, if I'm being honest: you two are probably the only real friends I have in class." Shoto said catching both of them off guard. "Friends were never really a luxury I got to have."

"I mean, we're all friends in class, though. I'm your friend, Hayato's your friend, Iida, Uraraka, Yaoyorozu, we're all your friends." Izuku said making Shoto smile.

"I know, but it's still something I'm new to."

"Come on, man. You're probably the coolest guy in class, no pun intended. You don't need to worry about making friends, we already look up to you." Hayato said making Shoto chuckle and stand up. "Now, we're literally looking up."

"Are you ever not making a joke?"

"Not when I'm sleeping."

"I can vouch for that, instead he's saying Yaoyorozu's name when he sleeps and drools." Izuku laughed making Shoto chuckle as well. Hayato then jumped on top of Izuku and held him in a choke hold.

"Says the guy who fanboys about All Might more than he thinks about his own girlfriend! You know how long it took me to not feel like he's watching me when I'm sleeping with the countless posters and toys?! I'm still not used to it!" Hayato yelled while Fuyumi opened the door to call to them.

"Dinner's almost ready, you boys can come eat!"

"So, you boys are the infamous Midoriya and Kiryuu?" Fuyumi asked as she served bowls of soba noodles to the three.

"I wouldn't say INFAMOUS." Izuku laughed with a blush rubbing the back of his head.

"I wouldn't even say FAMOUS."

"Shoto's always going on about how he needs to catch up to you two." Fuyumi said serving herself. "Apparently one of you two is All Might's love child?" Hayato burst into laughter and Izuku tensed up as they knew what she was referring to.

"He wishes!"

"No I don't! He's just our teacher!"

"Midoriya's All Might's favorite, it doesn't take a genius to notice how much attention he gives him." Shoto explained while the two best friends continued to go back and forth.

"Ah, you're his favorite?" Fuyumi asked interested in the topic.

"I-I mean I wouldn't say I'm his favorite!"

"I would." Shoto said raising his hand.

"I second that." Hayato said filling up his mouth with noodles.

"We just have very similar Quirks so he's been giving more advice and focusing more on my growth."

"Sounds like a favorite to me." Hayato whispered making Shoto nod. Izuku pinched his arm and continued his conversation.

"My Quirk used to be pretty dangerous to use, one hit and my arm would be broken."

"And look like a wacky inflatable arm flailing tube ma-" Hayato was silenced by Izuku covering his mouth.

"So All Might helped me condition my body and he's been helping me control it every chance he gets. And as a teacher and the number one hero in Japan, isn't very often." Izuku finished before feeling something warm on the palm of his hand. He pulled his hand back and wiped it off vigorously after realizing Hayato was licking it to make him take it off. "Gross!" Then suddenly the door to the dining room opened and the four watched as Endeavor made his way inside. Izuku and Hayato winced as they felt the atmosphere in the room change to a mix of fear and awkwardness. "H-Hello, Endeavor."

"Good to see you again."

"Hm?" Endeavor looked down and at the two boys. "Oh, you two." Shoto tensed up as he was prepared to hear his father threaten them. "Welcome to my home, any friend of Shoto is a friend of mine." Fuyumi and Shoto looked up at their father in shock before watching him sit down. "Shoto, how did your final exam go today?" Endeavor asked serving himself dinner. Shoto was pursed his lips before seeing Hayato and Izuku motion towards him and Endeavor.

"It went good, I was partnered up with Bakugo for it."

"The boy who came in first at the Sports Festival, correct?"

"Yes. We had a swift victory against Mr. Aizawa following the plan we both made."

"Eraser Head isn't an easy opponent, hearing that makes me proud of you." Endeavor said making Shoto smile slightly. "Any news of when Natsuo is coming to visit?"

"Oh you know him, dad, college and that girlfriend of his. If he comes by, it'll be totally by surprise." Fuyumi said smiling at her father.

"And you two? How are your injuries from fighting Stain and Blitz?" Endeavor asked turning to the two.

"They're healed completely, just in time for us to fight All Might today too." Izuku said with a smile from how quickly the atmosphere was changing. Endeavor stopped eating and looked at the two.

"You fought All Might?"

"Well, I wouldn't say fought. I'd say he toyed with us until he got bored then decided to let us pass." Hayato said with a chuckle.

"Still, at least you boys held your own." Endeavor said before looking at Shoto. "And considering how you won against him, it's safe to assume you can as well."

"We'll never know. Especially now that we have the training camp to look forward to." Shoto said before an idea popped into Endeavor's head.

"Before you go, I was invited to the I-Expo on I-Island. I'd like you to go in my stead and see if there's anything there that catches your attention and may help you out with your Quirk." Endeavor said surprising the other four.

"Thank you for the dinner!" Izuku and Hayato yelled bowing to the three Todorokis as they made their way out of the home.

"Thank you for coming over!" Fuyumi yelled waving to the two.

"Hey!" The two turned around and made eye contact with Endeavor. "I hope next time I see you, you're stronger than you are now."

"Yes sir." Izuku and Hayato said nodding to the man.

"God, I'm exhausted." Hayato sighed as they finally entered their home and made their way to their bedroom. He flopped onto his bed and hid himself under his blanket.

"It's been a long day. Maybe we should just take a break tomorrow." Hayato chuckled and poked his head out of his blanket.

"Does Izuku Midoriya want to SKIP school?! Oh dear, oh no, what has this world come to?!" Hayato joked making Izuku throw a pillow at him.

"I mean we just take a break from working out tomorrow. You know, come straight home and just relax after school." Izuku explained as he laid down on his bed.

"Man, you're no fun." Hayato groaned hiding his head back under his blanket.

"Alright so I think it's clear who passed and who failed their exams." Aizawa said near the of class the next day making Mina and Denki groan in defeat. "However, it'd be unfair to make you miss out on such a valuable opportunity. So Kaminari and Ashido will still be joining the rest of us for the training camp. However you will still have to take remedial classes with me, and frankly they'll be even tougher than if you'd stayed behind. So just go on the rest of your day." Aizawa said making his way out of the class. Mina and Denki then jumped out of their seats happily.

"We get to go!" The two yelled while Kyoka looked at them in surprise.

"You'll still have to take some classes, though."

"Who cares?! It's camp!" Mina yelled before a thought crossed her mind. "I should go shopping for the things I need!"

"Now that you mention it, I need some stuff too." Eijiro said before the rest of the class agreed with them.

"I have an idea!" Toru yelled getting everyone's attention. "Why don't we all go shopping together tomorrow?!"

"Oh, damn it." Hayato groaned making Izuku look at him.

"Oh, right. Mira wanted to spend the day with you tomorrow."

"Yeah, maybe Momo isn't all that excite-" He was wrong.

"We finally get to go shopping together!" Momo happily grabbed Hayato's arm making him sigh and facepalm. "What's the matter?"

"Momo, would you be upset if I said I can't go tomorrow?"

"A little. Why?"

"Mira wanted to spend some time with me tomorrow."

"Mira? Who's Mira?" Mina asked walking over. She gave Hayato a suspicious look and he shook he hands defensively.

"Relax, Ashido! Mira's my little sister."

"Bring her along then!" Mina yelled surprising him.

"Why didn't I think of that? I'd love to have some time with Mira, too!" Momo yelled making Hayato sigh in defeat.

"Hey Hayato!" Mira yelled opening the door for her brother.

"Hey, kiddo. You ready to go?" Hayato asked smiling at his little sister.

"Yep! And I've got daddy's credit card so I can do some shopping for myself!" Mira yelled happily walking out the door while Hayato stuck his head in to look at his mother.

"Should I be worried?"

"Don't be. It's her own card and it has a ten thousand yen spending limit." Hayato's jaw dropped hearing this. "In America it's a hundred dollars, don't worry."

"Now I'm feeling like that's when I should worry the most." He closed the door behind him and followed his sister downstairs.

"So, where are we headed?"

"The Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall. Or as other people call it, Wookies." Hayato said as they made their way to the train station.

"And is it just us?"

"No...my class is going to be there too. We're going to a camp for school in two weeks and we need stuff for it." Hayato said as they walked onto the train.

"Oh, that sounds like fun! I get to meet all of your friends!" Mira yelled happily as they took their seats. Meanwhile unbeknownst to them someone had followed them onto the train, hiding his massively scarred body under a baggy black jacket.

"Where are they?" Hayato asked himself as they arrived at the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall. He looked around for his class while Mira looked at the colossal mall in amazement before noticing a crowd of people.

"What's going on there?" Mira asked pointing at the crowd. Hayato turned his head and the two of them walked over, the conversations being had being made more clear.

"Sports Festival! Sports Festival!"

"Sports Fes..." Hayato asked himself quietly as they made their way through the crowd to see his classmates in front of the crowd, minus Katsuki, Shoto, and Hitoshi. "Thank god."

"Hayato! What took you so long?!" Ochaco yelled noticing the white haired boy and girl walking up to them.

"I had to take the train to pick up this one and then jump on another one over here!" Hayato explained motioning to Mira. "Everyone, meet my sister. Mira, this is my class from U.A."

"You're so cute!" Mina yelled making Mira blush shyly.

"Pleasure to meet you, young lady!" Tenya yelled raising his hand.

"Damn, she really is cu-" Denki stopped mid-sentence as Hayato began to glare at him.

"You can see the family resemblance!" Eijiro said making Hayato chuckle.

"Jiro, where's Momo?" Hayato asked noticing how Momo was nowhere to be seen.

"She went to go get something nearby." Kyoka responded before noticing how Mira was looking at Izuku, who was currently lost in thought as he studied the stores around them.

"Mira. Stop." Hayato whispered, slightly pushing Mira with his elbow.

"Sorry."

"Izuku. Hey, Izuku." Hayato said before looking at Ochaco who shrugged in defeat.

"I've been trying to get his attention and nothing." Ochaco explained taking a step behind Hayato. An idea then popped in his head and he began to snicker. He cupped his hands in front of his mouth and took a deep breath. "HEY IS THAT ALL MIGHT?!"

"WHERE?!" Izuku asked happily looking around for his predecessor. He turned to see Hayato laughing as well as the rest of the class making him blush from embarrassment. "That isn't funny!"

"We see him every day and you still look like a puppy waiting for a treat!" Hayato laughed before Mira slapped him on the arm from embarrassment as well.

"Like you're one to talk." Hayato stopped laughing and turned around to see Momo walking up to them. "Hello, Mira! How have you been?"

"I've been good."

"Well, we all need our own things for camp correct, Iida?" Momo asked turning to the class rep.

"Yes, according to the pamphlet we're going to be there for a full week so it's important we stock up on all things necessary for being in the woods. So insect repellent, breathable clothing, and anything else you believe will be necessary." Tenya explained taking out a blue pamphlet from his pocket.

"Hayato, maybe we should also get some stuff for our trip." Izuku whispered to his best friend making him nod in agreement.

"Right, I need new luggage."

"Me too. All Might also said some dress clothes for a party they're throwing the day before the expo opens." Izuku explained making Hayato nod. They then looked at their girlfriends who were having their own conversations with the rest of the class. "I think we're better off getting the stuff ourselves."

"Yep...I can't just ditch my sister, though." Hayato whispered to himself before another idea popped into his head. "I got it." He walked over to Momo and Ochaco and placed his hands on their shoulders. "Girls, I need a big favor."

"Sure, what is it?" Ochaco asked looking at him.

"Izuku and I need to go get some stuff but I know Mira would rather go shopping for girl things, so can you guys keep an eye on her for a while? Please?" Hayato asked placing his hands together. The two smiled and nodded at him.

"Of course!"

"I will need some form of payment, though." Momo said making Hayato groan.

"How much?" He took out his wallet only for Momo to pull him by the collar for a kiss.

"That's down payment, you still have to pay me the rest later." Momo said licking her lips before letting him go. He blushed and walked back over to Izuku's side, stumbling as he did.

"W-We'll find you guys later!" Hayato yelled before Izuku sighed, grabbing him by the shirt and walking away with him.

"That was bold, especially for you Yao-momo." Ochaco said making Momo giggle.

"I just wanted to see if I can mess with him, and that clearly said mission accomplished."

"All Might said we were gonna be there five days, so something big enough for five days that we can re-use for the training camp too." Izuku said as they looked at several duffle bags.

"I think this'll work for me." Hayato said grabbing a yellow bag.

"And this for me." Izuku said grabbing a black one. They took the bags to the register and quickly paid for them, then swiftly making their way across to a clothing store to look for dress clothes.

"So, I think my sister has a thing for you." Hayato said as he looked through the racks for a dress shirt.

"Really? That's...wow that's a little weird." Izuku said looking at a dark red suit jacket and pants with black stripes on them

"Yeah, she's only met you one other time. And plus you already have a girlfriend so I don't see the attraction." Hayato said before seeing a light blue dress shirt with a white vest. "This is it."

"I think I'm gonna take this." Izuku said grabbing the jacket and pants along with a yellow dress shirt.

"For the love of god, get a clip on tie or a bow tie." Hayato said he grabbed a pair of black pants.

"Why?"

"Dude, you couldn't tie a tie if your life depended on it." Hayato said as they walked to the register to pay for their clothes.

"It is not that bad."

"Dude, if you look at anyone, even BAKUGO, they tie it properly. But when YOU do it, it's so far up it looks like you're wearing an infant's." Hayato said as they paid for their clothes and made their way out of the store. They walked over to the escalator and started making their way down to the first floor. "So, any idea where we're going to find the apples of our eyes?" Hayato asked leaning on the railing.

"No idea, they should still be here on the first floor." Izuku said as they walked around on the first floor looking for Momo and Ochaco. But then the hooded man from the train bumped into Hayato making him drop his bags.

"Whoops, I'm so sorry about that." Hayato said bending down to pick up his items.

"It's okay..." Hayato's eyes widened as he recognized the voice and looked up to make eye contact with the villain he had fought not too long ago. "...Hayato."

"B-Blitz..." Hayato gulped before being lifted up by the disguised villain.

"Let's go for a walk." Blitz said dragging the boy away.

"Hayato?" Izuku asked turning around before hearing someone walk up to him.

"No way! You're a U.A. student aren't you?!"

"Y-Yeah."

"You're the one who had that awesome fight with Endeavor's kid!" Izuku kept his back turned as the person walking up to him hid his pale skin. "You're also one of the one there during the U.A. attack...even during the fight against the Hero Killer and Speed Hunter..." Izuku gulped as he felt the person wrap their arm around his neck and place their hand on his neck except for one raised finger. "...good to see you again, Izuku Midoriya." He looked up and made eye contact with the person who'd been around in every single one of his villain encounters.

"Tomura...Shigaraki..."

"This is beautiful!" Mira said taking out a silver dress and showed it to the girls from Class 1-A who looked at it in wonder.

"It sure is."

"Are you going to get it?" Momo asked only to be answered by Mira shaking her head. "Why not? Is it too expensive?"

"I don't have any use for it. We don't really get invited to anything where he have to dress so nicely."

"Really?" A thought crossed Momo's mind as she remembered a trip she was taking the following week with Kyoka and Ochaco. "I might have a fix for that..."

"What are you doing here? You're one of the top five most wanted villains in all of Japan, anyone spots you and it's jail for you." Hayato said as he and Blitz stood together on the second floor.

"I just wanted to have nice and FRIENDLY conversation with my good friend, Breakneck."

"Last I checked, friends didn't slice up and stab each other with claws like a wild animal." Hayato as he felt the pain from that night surge through his sides and back.

"Maybe I was just testing you."

"Unless Stain is about to burst through a window to kill me, I don't see the point in this conversation."

"I saw what you can do. I saw it first hand. You were untouchable, you were only slowed down by that kid." Hayato's eyes widened as he knew where this conversation was going. "That school, your class, everyone's slowing you down. But me? I can help you get faster. I can help you break through limits and reach speeds you probably wouldn't reach until you've peaked." Blitz whispered into Hayato's ear making him clench the railing, feeling a cold chill go down his spine. "You can be better than I ever was, I can teach you in ways you would've never imagined. Be an amazing hero, and protect the people you love like I couldn't." Blitz whispered as Hayato saw Momo and Mira in a store window on the first floor. "So, what do you say?" Hayato gulped before noticing Izuku sitting down with a stranger on by the escalators. His eyes widened as he noticed the pale skin and his hand on Izuku's neck.

"Why would I learn from someone whose only goal in life has been to kill everyone like him?"

"They were nothing like me. But you, you're exactly like I used to be. That's why I know I could be the teacher you deserve to have, no one understands you as well as I do." Blitz said before pointing at Izuku. "Not even he does. What do you say?" Hayato looked at Izuku one more time before turning his head to Blitz.

"...give me time to think about it."

"Take all the time you want, I know you'll come around." Blitz said before chuckling. "I won't let this get any worse than it should. I'll deal with him." Blitz then suddenly disappeared along with the strange man that was sitting with Izuku making the white haired boy run down to him.

"Izuku!" Hayato yelled as Izuku coughed heavily, feeling an immense weight lifted off of his shoulders. "Who...Who was that?"

"Tomura Shigaraki...apparently once that news report circulated about Stain being involved with the League of Villains, some new villains that got on his nerves joined and he was telling me how he can't wait to rid this world of All Might."

"All Might? What does All Might have to do with anything?"

"He thinks that All Might is the reason why everything's gone wrong in his life. But then he suddenly disappeared. Wait..was that you?"

"Not me." Hayato gulped as he felt the cold chill again. "Another speedster we know."

"You don't mean..." Hayato nodded. "And you suddenly ditching me was him?"

"He wants me to be his apprentice. He thinks that he can help me reach a goal I would've never considered reaching." Hayato said taking a seat next to Izuku. He buried his face into his hands as they could hear their classmates nearby.

"And you said no, right? He's a murderous psychopath that wants to live a failed dream through someone he knows nothing about. What could you learn from him?" Izuku said making Hayato sigh and nod.

"Yeah...I told him to fuck off..." Hayato mentally punched himself for lying to his best friend of all people.

"Well...should we tell anyone what happened?" Izuku asked before looking around.

"And do what? Freak everyone out when Blitz and Shigaraki are gone already? Izuku, we handled everything like we should've. That's all that matters. We can't cause mass hysteria at this point." Hayato said wrapping his arm around Izuku's shoulders. "We're still alive and we have a trip to look forward to in two days."
