Universe Located!
Universe 156146. ‘The Same’
Shisou was afraid, really he feared for his life right now.
Ever since the sports festival, that Midoriya guy has been trying to befriend him, Hitoshi wasn’t here to make friends, he was here to be a hero and prove everyone who told him and was going to be a villain wrong.
Todoroki hums, ‘Yea that sounds about right’ , as Ochacko snorts, gaining a glare from Shinsou.
“This but a losing battle” muses Tokoyami, with his friend of shadows shaking his head fondly at his antics and the squad nodding, all while Shinsou sighs in defeat only looking at his friends' row mates fondly.
Izuku? Yea he's just a blushing mess, ignoring his friends' antics with heavy determination.
Aizawa shakes his head fondly at the kids, ‘Problem child’ .
“This is such a turn around compared to the last two universes” muses Vlad between Hound Dog whose writing in a notepad, where did he get that from, and still distrustful All Might.
But even though he said that to the boy’s face, his answers was just:
“You and I are going to be the best of the besties and you can not stop it from happening” The greenette said with a soft smile but also a very dangerously determined tone. “It’s gonna happen one way or the other, you better just accept it, it’s easier this way”
So… was he just threatened? With friendship? That’s fucking terrifying, oh God, help him.
Aizawa shivered at an old memory of his friends.
Hizashi snickered at that, and the fond memory of his friends, gaining a pointed look from Aizawa.
“Well that’s one way to go about it” snickers Hawks, still a little shaken from last episode's renovation.
“Ya! I like this kid” decides Miriko with a grin and a shoulder to Hawks side; to ease some tension.
The thing that bothers him the most is how perceptive the greenette is. After a week of trying to befriend Shinsou, the teen notices things.
How the lilac-haired boy flinches whenever someone raises their voices, how he goes non-verbal whenever someone points out his quirk.
“Do you- em still?” Ojiro asks quietly from behind, concern flowing in his voice.
“Huh?” Hitoshi bluescreens for a second, “Oh. No, no I'm fine thanks.” he whispers back, getting a reassuring smile back, and a pat on the shoulder from Atsui, Call me Tsu , next to Oujiro.
Momo lets out a tiny sigh of relief, efter Jiro confirms that her classmate is fine.
“He is quite perspective, I wonder if our Midoriya is like that, as well.” Wonders the principal out loud.
Vlad just sighs, “I'd like to know how much of anything we see is true, and what is isin’t, from these universes and what not.”
The rest of the teachers can't help but silently agree.
He notices the small scars on his face. One day Hitoshi came to school with a strong mark on his face that nobody else commented on, but Izuku’s eyes darken when he realized what they were.
Hizashis face darkens at the scene; it brings back bad memories, but the grounding hands of his friends helps relieve the tension in his shoulders. ‘Thanks’ he thinks; not quite up to talking.
Aizawa rubs his thumb on his co-workers and friends' knee, noting Nemuri doing the same.
Nemuri in hopes of calming her friend down puts her hand on his leg, hoping to keep him grounded. She answered Snipe's questioning look with a little “He’ll be fine”.
Snipe turns to Cementos to relay the message forward, nodding his head lightly at the confirmation that his coworker is fine Cementos goes back to the screen.
Those unsure of what they are looking at know it sure as hell looks bad.
They are marks of a muzzle.
The silent anger that filled the room was suffocating.
Shinsou let out a silent huff, accompanied by a slight twitch of his lips a second later as the warmth of a hand on his shoulder filled his chest with the same warm feeling.
He knows how quirk discrimination works with those with ‘villainous’ quirks, if someone had a verbal quirk, maybe allowing them to speak louder or in this case brainwashing someone?
The parents or even other people around this person would always end up muzzling the ‘villainous’ child.
“How terrible” Twice chimes in sadly, “Deserved.”
“Aaah. I agree, It's soo sad. If we could just. Cut them open” Toga whines tugging at Twices hand, but you can hear the sad and disgusted undertone in her voice.
Dabi just huffs in angrily and turns his head away; Compress shakes his head sadly at that.
Shigaraki just scoffs, muttering something eerily similar to ‘Damn heroes’.
So yeah, he knows what they look like, after all, his own father used them on him when he was a child, apparently Midoriya Hisashi didn’t like his son’s muttering habit so much.
The heavy atmosphere just got thicker as all eyes turned to the green eyed boy in question.
“Hey. No, no I'm fine. I-” Midoriya stumbles around the words trying to explain or something, he gets stopped as a soft ‘Midoriya’ cuts off his, actually kinda pathetic, try at explaining.
Shinso’s soft but serious eyes burn into Izuku, trying to find the truth himself, it's not like the greenette would just admit to that, he would know, he wouldn't.
“The nerds fine” Bakugou huffs “That dead-beat bastard hasn't shown his face since we turned three”.
The class with the teachers, who turned to see Bakugou, looked back to the child of the topic for confirmation.
And confirmation they get when the local sunshine smiles at them with his bright smile. “It's true.” he nods “ He works overseas, we barely talk, if not for the wedding pictures of him and mom i wouldnt even remember how he looks like.”
Everyone seems to breathe a sigh of relief at that, not Shinsou, no, he knows better and by the looks of it Aizawa does too as he glances at the child, with skeptical eyes, before turning back to the big cinema screen.
Unnoticed by all, the principal was holding a notepad, ‘Ah this, it's just a few things to look into once we get back, don't worry about it’ . He's smiling, as much as his muzzle lets him, that is, ‘You might wanna continue, the story’s not finished now, is it’ .
He knows how uncomfortable they are, how tight they are pressed against your skin, how humiliating they are to use, how it makes you feel useless, hated by the person who put it on you.
“That is terrible. we must kill the one who hurt the hero; accepted by Stain” Spinner proclaims determined. “Oh! Oh!” Toga bounced in her seat, “I wanna join! I wanna!”. She squealed at the confirming nod from Spinner.
Thirteen is not doing well, they haven't said a lot, but this is really too much. How could someone treat children like that, their own parents, heroes for god's sake.
They will make sure to do something, Something, to help, to at least give some comfort to those kids.
As their teacher, as a hero, as a fellow survivor.
All Might is not sure how to feel, would this really happen to Young Midoriya? Why is that young boy acting like that? So villainous, what should he do?
He really does not know, he’ll need to talk with Nedzu.
With a heavy sigh, a heavy heart, Yagi turns back to the screen.
Izuku can feel two pairs of eyes burning into him, one more discreet than the other, so he lowers his hand from where it has previously massaged the phantom pain of his jaw.
In his case, his mother saw it happen and divorced his father after it, so he didn’t have to endure that treatment for more than two months.
He tilts his head, no he wouldn't do that, couldn't do that, ruin his moms life like that, she already spends so much time worrying about him why would he worry her more.
Either way if they divorced she would have to find a job to keep them both housed and fed. He can't do that, take moms peaceful life away.
“Hey! That's awesome right? So manly!” Kirishima pumped his hand up, which triggered a reply chain of agreements of various types.
“Hell yea!” was heard from the invisible girl behind Mina, which prompted mina.
With a big grin Mina clapped her hands and yelled, “ Applause for Mamadoriya! Whoo!”
And like they do, they did.
With a huff of amusement a few teachers joined, with Toga on the villain's side who stuck out a roseberry at the dirty look she got from Shiggy.
Katsuki felt a twinge of pride at that, of course, aunty is one of the strongest womens he knows, even if she cries a lot.
Denki nudged Bakugou over Ejiro’s seat, Kaminari just wiggled his eyebrows at Bakugou's smirk, who bated the nudging hand away and turned with a huff.
But Shinsou probably didn’t have that luck, were both his parents abusive? There is a high possibility that yes, they are, had this been happening since the teen turned four? If so, it makes sense why he goes non-verbal sometimes.
It made Izuku want to go to the boy’s house and look into his parent’s eyes as he wrapped his hands around their neck and slowly squeezed it until they stopped breathing.
Nobody hurts those who are precious to him.
A chill ran down everyone's spines at the manic look on the childs, on screen, face.
Izuku just nodded with a self satisfied nod, even as the side glances of Jirou seemed more unsure, maybe frightful, but he paid it no mind.
Mezo just put a hand on Sato’s and Koda’s shoulders, both seated on each side of him. They seem to appreciate the gesture.
Vlad had to rub his arms to ease the chicken skin, “That comment I made at the beginning? Yea, I take that back” He shivered again at their own grenette “and put in a formal apology for jinxing it”
Miriko laughed at that as Hawks shook his head silently, this kid is a menace.
He was about to make a comment but noticed Power Loader dozing off, so like the good man he is, he nudged him with a feather.
He just snickered at the pros' reaction and looked away when said hero's eyes landed on him.
Power Loader was just tired, so much drama, he was in the middle of watching Mei when he suddenly got here, so like any reasonable man on earth he just wanted a nap.
That plan went out the window.
He was just dozing off when a feather nudged him, it wasn't hard, but he startled so badly he almost fell, upon finding the owner of the feather he shot Hawks a dirty look, at the snicker he got, he just huffed and turned back when he turned away.
This time watching the screen.
Nedzu was in the process of patting his fur back down when he bore his teeth, a resemblance of a grin, at the screen, ‘This is getting interesting’ , sending shivers down Aizawa's spine a second time.
Shouta just looked back at the screen ignoring Hound Dogs and Mic’s questioning looks, he's very content on ignoring what he just saw, thank you very much.
“Why are you looking at me like you want to murder me?” Shinsou asks nervously
Ah he was starting.
They were at a secluded area from the school, people hardly come here, he followed Shinsou as he has been for the last week, to make the boy company.
Izuku smiles at him. “Oh, I want to murder someone, not you though, but the people who put on a muzzle on you to be more specific”
Momos invested to say the least, those universes, on one hand their illegal at best probably war crimes at worst, on the other hand though those are her friends, although she'd never admit to it out loud, this looks like lots of fun.
So yea she's invested.
“Not so hero like now. Huh?” Shigaraki taunts.
Honestly Dabi would join him if not for the fact he, kinda, maybe got some respect points on the green kid.
What?
The kid basically killed, well hid his body but whatever, Endevor and even thought to get him involved, how thoughtful is that?
Tsuyu, honestly she's enjoying her place on the side lines, front ticket to the theater, a five star play and no need to get involved. “Kero” She gets a pat of sympathy from Ojiro and a pitiful look, she just nods back.
There is no need for any of them to know her opinion on this chaos, plausible deniability and all that jazz.
Hitoshi goes still at that, eyes wide as he stares at the greenette. “How-”
“How do I know? I had the same marks when my shitty dad put one on me” He shrugs nonchalantly.
Sero hangs his head down “How is he so… Chill, about..” He flaps his arms around at loss for words and shoots a fake pointed look at Denki, currently laughing at his misery.
“He does seem rather unbothered,” replied Momo.
“Like a shining star, blocked by a shadow, dim darkness” Tokoyami added, “An Eclipse” chirps his shadow companion.
“A mad banquet of darkness” he nods in agreement.
Aoyama huffs a laugh at his dark friends' antics.
Hawks smiles proudly at his mentee in the lower middle seats, gaining a teasing smirk from Rumi.
That got her a smack with a wing.
“Oh…that’s….I’m sorry”
“I’m sorry too”
“Pfft. That was so awkward” laughed Dabi, Tomura snickered with him “The charisma stats are truly rock bottom”.
He glanced at the green eyed heroling and snickered.
Izuku and Hitoshi both flushed red in embarrassment at that, Hitoshi looked away and Izuku hid his hands as their friend group laughed at them goodnaturedly.
Kayama and Hizashi cooed at the screen and then again at the homeroom teacher of 1a, Aizawa who was previously smiling softly at the screen in front of him dropped his expression, back to a blank look, and flashed his quirk at the two snickering friends beside him.
Nedzu glanced to his side All Might, Yagi Toshinori and the bane of his existence, right efter the HPSC, looked skeptical as if he wanted to go and scold his successor right this moment.
Yagi was looking at Midoriya as if he was a villain in the making.
He's seconds away from just smacking that man in the head, oh well if he doesn't want his successor then why would he leave such great steel in the hands of someone who has no knowledge of smithery.
After that they bond over their traumas, Izuku tells him about his childhood bully who used his quirk on him until he passed out in school, the names the guy called him and the time his once best friend told him to kill himself.
Gasps were heard around, “Ay, Yo! Stop! pause. What the Fuck?!” Shinsou was now standing, “This is-” he looked pointedly at Midoriya “Is this true?”
“You should sit down, we can ask later” Iida scolds with a hand chop.
Shinsou ignores him, narrowing his eyes at Midoriya, who turns his head away in shame.
Shinsou huffs and sits back down in his seat but Izuku can still feel eyes on him, no matter how discreetly they try to do it, how else would he survive being quirkless.
Nedzu checks on Midoriya in his peripheral vision once in a while, he notices that Shota does as well, he reaches forward to pat his shoulder for support.
Aizawa puts his hand on his mentor's paw, silently thanking him for the support, he hopes it's just the universe that he wasn't blind, not ignorant to the struggles of his kid students.
With a sigh he slips his hand off the leaving paw and looks back to the screen, not before checking on the child, still hiding in his hands from prying eyes and questions.
The villain side is filled in silent rage, they look at the hero's side, on the other side of the theater, Tomura nods satisfied at Eraserheads response but turns to Dabi, as do the rest of them, when he scoffs.
“The number one hero my ass” he tilts his head at the said hero.
Turning to look at him they see his face show disbelief, he does not believe the video, “Bitch”.
Shinsou still didn’t consider the greenette a friend, afraid of what it could mean or maybe it was because he didn’t want to lose what they had.
What if Izuku finally realized how much of a mistake it is to befriend him if they make it official? Or what if the greenette was leading him into a false sense of security? To make him see him as a friend only to point and laugh at him for being such a fool?
Everyone just looks sadly at Shinsou, who is currently ignoring everyone as much as possible, Midoriya stands up successfully moving the attention to himself Shinsou included.
Midoriya moves towards Hitoshi and with no words and hugs the hesitant boy.
Hitoshi bluescreens and before he gets to say anything the sunshine boy is already in his own seat but everyone's attention is off of him so he doesn't say, or do, anything.
When the quietness stretches, everyone just moves on to the screen, he sighs in relief and moves on as well, ‘Cuz we don't have time to unpack all of that’ .
Shinsou did end up giving up on trying to push away the greenette after a whole month of pestering him, as much as he would deny enjoying his company, he even started to like the idea of befriending Midoriya after a while, they had a lot in common. If it did end up being all a lie, he could just move on with his life just like he always did when someone tried to pretend to want to be friends with him.
“Awh, are you warming up to me” teases Midoriya making Uraraka chuckle, Shinsou who has accepted his fate a while ago just sighed hiding his smile in his hand.
The green devil in disguise just giggled at that.
“It’s nice that he’s getting friends” Aizawa looked as blank as he always does but if u look close enough you can see the softness on his face, “Reminds me of a certain someone” nudges Hizashi with a smile.
They both looked at Midoriya ‘He looks so much like him,’ with a sigh Souta looked away, Yamada looked at him with a sad look in his eyes, Nedzu pats both of their heads in comfort.
Nedzu sighs in his entire career this is what he regrets the most, the loss of that bright child.
It was after the dorms things happened when Midoriya came to him dorm room and said with a maniacal smile: “I have the power of God and this gun I bought while searching through the deep web to hire an assassin to kill my childhood bully”
“Is that like… a, what is it called? Recurring event?” Kaminari snickers, “A canon event” Izuku questions making Denki snap his fingers, “Yea! that.”
Sero snickers next to Denki, “Imagine our Midoriya like that.” Eijiro laughed on the other side of Denki nudging Bakugou, who shivered, unnoticed by his friends, “No way Midobro? He could never , haha.”
Bakugou is not stupid he knows better than to try anything after the warning he got, so he hasn't said much. Bakugou is not stupid he knew Deku longer than every person here, he has watched him grow up, he has read his notes.
Bakugou is not stupid, he shivered.
Aizawa eyed a grinning Nedzu, ‘Oh god’ .
“...that’s a lot to unpack right there and I’m not sure I want to” He replied putting away his book with a nervous look. What the fuck is going on? Should he tell the teachers? How did the guy sneak a gun into the dorms?!
“Yes, yes you should tell a teacher” pushes Aizawa to the amusement of Miruko and Hawks, “I’m enjoying this so far but yes, if something like this happens you need to contact a teacher” Cementos adds sternly.
A call of ‘Yes sensei’ is heard in the middle of the theater where the students are seated, “Yes of course, there is no room for such things in U.As’ fine establishment” Iida finishes up with a few hand chops.
The whole cult following squad looks at Hitoshi with faces he can only describe as manic, he gulps nodding silently, ‘Yea it’s best to just keep quiet’ .
The villains, who just saw the whole ordeal snickered, this is much more fun and it’ll continue to be as long as they get to be left out and just observe. Yea they remember what happened to Dabi, however true that is.
Oblivious to Shinsou panicking, the other beamed at him excitedly. “I can get you one too, if you want,” Izuku winked at him. “Then you can kill your parents!” He doesn’t suggest using his quirk, the guy has enough trauma linked to it.
So good old fashioned shooting them dead would have to do it.
“Ah but knives are so, sooo much betteeeer.'' Whining Toga tugged on Twice who nodded in agreement then shook his head, “I’m liking this kid more and more” smirks Dabi nudging Tomura, to the right in front of him, with his foot.
“A great addition to the party” hummed Shigaraki showing Dabis’ foot away, “You think he’d join?” Compress questioned only making Shigaraki groan, ignoring the question, Compress hummed in response.
“Old fashioned?” purred Midnight tapping her chin, Nedzu chipped “Well of course,” he did not elaborate, making the U.A. staff shiver a tenth time and the hero duo in the back snicker.
Ochako giggled at Iidas’ antics after stopping him from scolding Deku, noting that these two are not the same person. The entire squad, sans Shinsou who had no choice but to join, looked at each other and shared a knowing smile.
Koda and Dark Shadow are having a quiet conversation, Dark Shadow was positioned under and between Kirishima and Denki, at Kodas lap enjoying head pats.
“You know, I think I’m going to accept that offer” The lilac-haired says instead of answering his questions.
“You want a gun?!” Izuku beams.
“Oh please don’t” Aizawa paled, a whistle sounded out, “Am I stealing another 1a student” Snipe sounded proud. Aizawa looked at him with horror “Snipe don’t y-” he was cut off with a quiet laugh from Nedzu, “Well if they’d like to; I don’t see any reason to disagree.”
Aizawa let out a shuddering sigh.
Shinsou seems to consider it, Iida leaned to him and quietly noted that if he wants to shoot one he needs to get a license, “You could ask Snipe sensei,” Shinsou raised an eyebrow but before he could make a comment about not scolding him Iida just smiled, surprising Shinsou more, and turned away back to the conversation between the rest of the row.
“Awh he’s so cute” cooed Mina making the rest of the class laugh at that.
All Might is so disappointed ‘How could anyone think someone like that would be a hero,’ he shook his head in disappointment and disgust, seeing that Tomura snickered “Ah I can’t wait to meet player 2 in person,” his eyes glinted in sick excitement.
The others, sans Toga and Twice who are deep in a conversation, looked at where the boss was looking and snickered at the sight.
Shinsou just stares at him trying not to cry out of exasperation. “...your….your friendship offer…”
Everyone burst out laughing at the deadpan answer, Mezo whipped a tear from his eye so did a few others only Yagi just scoffed either unheard or ignored, rather ignored the man was never good at being subtle, only Nedzu reacted tugging his ears back.
Tokoyami and Jirou, sitting together, decided to approach the tired teen in hopes of friendship efter the whole ordeal.
Shouta released what could only be a relieved laugh, he does not need another problem child thank you very much.
Little did he know.
Izuku chuckled a lil bit embarrassed. “Oh yeah! Sure! Sorry I got a little bit excited at the idea”
“I could tell” Deadpanned Hitoshi completely done with Izuku’s crazy stunts.
Shinsou snickered, gaining giggles from the squad and a bright smile from Izuku, seeing that Hitoshi smiled softly at that ‘This does not seem like such a bad thing, being here.’
“I’m liking it here” Toga exclaimed to her surprise Shiggy hummed in agreement, “This is much more interesting than i thought; when the admin tp’d us here.”
“Surely it is quite informative,” nodded Compress and a happy agreement, and a disagreement, from Twice.
Dabi is quite interested in the future universes they will see, so are the others, especially Keigo, whose wings won’t stop fluttering in excitement, bumping his shoulders with a just as excited Rumi.
The very excited room was starting to calm down, thinking the episode was done.
“Hahah, anyways! Yeah sure, we’re gonna be besties!” Izuku looks at him with this cheshire cat smile “Now, as my new bestie-”
Hitoshi feels himself still, that smile promises chaos. “Oh no-”
Everyone turns to the screen with mild surprise, “Oh no?” Aizawas' brows furrowed, he does not like the tone of that comment. It seems that no matter how much fun Nedzu is having, his ears twitch in whatever emotion that is, it’s quite hard to tell.
“Ohohhoho, this is getting quite interesting” Compress taps on his mask, “What could he need help with, he literally got rid of Endeavor” Dabi worded that like a question it wasn't.
Tomura just hummed in interest.
All Might narrowed his eyes, ‘How can he drag others down with him,’ he sighed and closed his eyes, rubbing them. He really needs to do something but Nedzu seems to have no problem with what he is seeing.
Maybe the Hero Commission?
“-could you help me sneak a sniper rifle into the dorms? I got it for 1498.31 yen”
Power Loader choked on air, making him cough, the rest of the teachers just stared in pure horror at the screen, only Snipe whistled “That’s a price.” “Makes one wonder how he got such a deal,” the chimera wonders out loud.
The league burst out laughing, “Whahhaahhattt?” Twice questions through laughter, this time without a counter comment, making them laugh even more.
Spinner starts choking on his laughter, the ever nice boss pats his back, a little too forcefully, getting a thumbs up from the lizard.
Izuku gets a side eye from his Stain incident companions, all three ignoring the slight chaos behind them, all he does is give them a knowing smirk, the two friends nod and turn to the screen.
Shinsou sends a questioning look at Iida, who is seated next to him, and gets a smile in response. Very fine in leaving that alone he turns back with a shrug.
Momo wonders that seems like a wayyy too small of a price.
“-I ... .1498.31? Are you even sure the rifle works? That’s the price of a fancy bread!”
“Well, the pistol was 749.15 and it did work!”
“Those prices are getting way too suspicious,” Snipe narrows his eyes at the screen turning to Loader when he speaks, “If he has a friend… or connection to someone who makes them?”
Snipe hums “It’s still quite low,” Nedzu taps his chair getting their attention “Maybe we get to know in time, but for now,” he gets a nod from his two employees.
Midnight's eye twitches at that, ‘This is getting consurning.’ Yagi is getting so as well but Aizawa and Nedzu seem to have an eye on him, so she’ll leave it, for now.
“I need to know where this kid gets all that shit.” Dabi shakes his head, “Even Grian doesn't get deals like that.” Toga nods in confirmation making Shiggy humm ‘It would be good to know.’
“....how do you know it works? Midoriya, did you shoot someone?”
“...”
“Midoriya!”
… “What!” “Hahhahah,” Denki stands up and starts swinging his hands around “It- It’s just Midoriya, he’s just. Joking, right”.
“It’s not our Deku; dunce face” Katsuki barks out.
“See, that’s even better” Kaminari huffs while sitting back down.
“Deku is such a sweetheart, he could never ,” exclaims Uraraka with a sweet smile making the class relax significantly. She just smiles at Shinsou, this time the sweetness looked like it could make anyone sick, he’s unsure if he's happy he’s included or not.
‘Does that get me some sort of immunity?’
“Makes me wonder how we’re in those universes, considering he's still roaming free” Nedzu hums at Hounds question, “He does seem quite trigger happy there” they can’t see Snipes face but the amusement in his voice is hard to miss.
Aizawa agrees with his co-workers the other Midoriya seems to either be very good at hiding which seems, his eyes land on the green child laughing with his friends seemingly at Shinsous’ annoyed face, quite unlikely so their equivalence in that place let it go… ‘At least their Nedzu does.’
All Might doesn't get it, he heard them talk about the problem. Yet his co-workers still ignore it for now he’ll have to ignore it, considering Nedzu and young Aizawa keep staring at him, and if young Midoriya does not cooperate he will have to involve the commission.
“It was bound to happen,” Dabi grinned, sounding a little surprised “considering all the 'kill your past friend’ talk.” Toga is having lots of fun, she's yet to see Izu-kun covered in blood, she really hopes to get to see that soon, Shiggy looks very amused as well.
‘Maybe Izu-kun would like to join us’ she bounces on the tip of her toes on the seat.
“What?! Bitch deserved it!”
“Who was it?” Shinsou asked, trying to formulate a plan if they needed to hide a body, holy shit, his first ever friend was a criminal!
“Formulate a plan” Tsu raises a bow at Shinsou, who is staring dumbly at the screen. He holds his face resigned, “WhyYYyYyyYyy, would you- Agaugagaguuuuuu,” making the upper rows shoot him pity looks, the villains laugh while the lower rows seem very happy with his misery and he’s not gonna, even attempt to, check the teachers.
“We really should have gotten a better look; at the kids” Shigaraki groans, Twice stretches noting that “Those kids are not the same”, suddenly dropping his hands, “No, no all the same.”
“He has a point you know,” making Shigaraki groan, “But” Compress looks at the bottom row of the biddle seating, holding the brokoli head, currently the row of friends are whispering about something.
At the corner of his eye Izuku spots the group of criminals looking at him, seeing as no one else is looking at him, he sends them an amused smile.
“He's gone, it’s too late, too far gone,” Hawks barely manages to get that out through his laughter, it sounds like Miriko tried to say something but unlike her winged friend, she didn't manage.
The teachers of U.A are divided into two types, the ones who laughed at that and the ones that plan to ignore both the heroes on top and what just happened on screen, cough Aizawa cough , and of course there's Nedzu.
“Uhhh, this guy with a mask, he was withs this little girl in the streets, she looked scared, so I shot his ass!”
“Oh my God…is he dead?”
“Nope! Unfortunately! Don’t worry about it! Detective Tsukaushi has my back on this one”
“The bastard” Toga and Twice snarls at the screen, completely missing the ‘little girl’ thing, “The guy had a kid?” Compress was about to get an answer from Spinner when they choked a laugh at Dabis next comment, “Who’d the fuck would lay whith that un-fasioned peacock”
Aizawa blanched at the part ‘What?.. I need to ask him if he’d do that here.’ Aizawa looked sickly anxious, as much as a deadpan, emo, cat man can look. “Nedzu,” “Yes I'm aware Shota,” was Nedzus answer to the pointed look.
The class was simultaneously confused and giddy on who that person is and how he managed to anger their happy and bright friend so much, although it seems that Izuku is just like that, and this is so cool, like a movie and Midoriya is the protagonist.
“Didn’t he like…scold you for having an illegal weapon?”
“Nah, he chill bout’ it!”
“Are you going to elaborate?”
The green-haired just looks into his eyes with a wide smile instead of answering.
Sero stands up and yells “All bow to our great green demon lord” bowing down, the class following soon after with the two anthropomorphic pros at the top even Toga and Twice joined in.
Nedzu cleaned his throat, making everyone turn to him.
“I would like to remind everyone that what we see on the screen is another, universe with unknown changes from our own,” the principal and his protege side eye the top hero, who just looks away from them, “Thus we need you to know that it is very fun to watch, but unacceptable to do.”
The students look away a little guilty, while the villains boo and snicker, until now they thought of it as a funny movie they watch like any other, now it's slowly setting in that the video on screen is real, even if it’s not here.
“On that note” Aizawa continues for the chimera, “If you have or know someone who has done such things and is a danger to themselves and others, please notify a staff member,” they all look at each other, would they really out someone in the class like that? It’s bad and villainous but it would be their friend.
Aizawas' lips twitched in a fond smile like line, those kids have gone through a lot together, he’s happy they’ve grown so close, “It’s not to detain or imprison but to help, you are all heroes in training and we are here to help you, anyway necessary.”
This time Aizawa can't stop the fond smile as his kids relax and sigh in relief.
“That being said,” Nedzu raises his paw; to gain the attention back, “If you are unsafe or in danger from others or yourself, do not hesitate to ask the staff for help.”
“I am always in my office and ready to help” barked Hound Dog, literally.
“If you NPCs are done can we continue with the quest,” Shigaraki skawles at the heroes, the class huffs but turns back to the screen, still swallowing all that.
The ever so lovely Mina named Dekusquad eye each other then shrug, at least they know where they stand, ‘Gotta inform Mei’ Izuku nods.
“Righhttt…being your friends for two minutes already drained half of my life force”
Izuku’s only response was to beam at him, the madlad.
Even in the still somewhat dark atmosphere they can’t help but laugh, I mean look at him.
When the screen went black Hestia turned to the people watching, with a smirk. “Alright! Before we go to the next universe, any thoughts? Questions?”
The whole place exploded in sound, it got quiet real quick though when a shot rang out and everyone looked at Snipe, “Right thank you” they looked around sheepishly, “I’d like to know where or from whom he got such underpriced… gear.”
Hestia beams at him. “Wouldn’t you like to know babygirl? I’m not telling this one, because I would rather see the chaos that will ensue when you find out about it yourself” She winks.
Snipe grumbles unsatisfied, not gracing the nickname with a reaction, altho a few do cough out a laugh at it.
Snipe swats a hand at a laughing Midnight, who yelps in response.
Iida raised his hand before talking anyway, “How come he was allowed to get away with,” he cleared his throat “All that.” Midoriya blushed, “Yes, I'd like to know as well.”
He does shoot Aizawa a, very real as far as they know, apologetic look, getting nothing more than a huff in return.
“This Midoriya Izuku from this universe is the personal student of Nedzu, he is rather protective and would do what he needs to keep the green bean from being taken away from his hands, he definitely knows about the guns but pretends to not know because he finds it funny” She shrugs.
“And well, Midoriya did have a license when he shot Overhaul, that and seriously injuring villains is allowed when necessary”
“Shit” both Aizawa and Bakugou pale at that while Nedzu cackles maniacally sipping tea, where did he… nvm it’s Nedzu, spilling it in the process.
“It does explain a lot, I mean we have Snipe right here as proof“
Said hero tipped his hat at those who looked at him.
‘Who knew the Hero commissions biggest pain in the ass is so protective, ’ he grins ‘God help the poor souls of the commission.’ Because Hawks won’t.
Izuku looks at his friends and grins, ‘I wonder how true to our universe is that .’
They grin back at him.
“Hey” Dabi shouts from his seat, “In the last universes, or at least one of them,” he mutters the second part “He mentions being quirkless, is that the case there as well?”
The grenettes flinch does not go unnoticed to the villains.
“Yes! A lot of alternate universes Midoriya Izuku was born quirkless, and this one was also the case! He was the first quirkless person to get into the hero course in this universe just like the other two”
“That’s so cool” Twice is the one who yells that getting agreements, surprisingly, many more people than just the villains, of course before disagreeing with himself.
The villains, still a little surprised that they agree with them so unreluctantly, cuz villains , they go back to the screen when the heroes and herolings start settling down.
Izuku looks down, looking like a strawberry, with tears in his eyes. ‘I could have done it, they did.’ He takes a deep breath grinning at his friends, ‘I gave up, but I'll finish what I started.’
The world won’t change on its own.
Now certain that this is the end, and the next one will play, everyone makes themselves comfortable in their seats.
Bonus reaction of my co-writer:
(I did the math, a rifle is 8,000 - 15,000$ so in yen it’ll be 1,199,592 - 2,249,235 yen. he paid 1498.31 yen só 9,99$, the midrange is 11,500$ about 1724206,50 yen he paid 99.913% less, 99.933% of the highest price n 99.88% on the lowest. where tf did he get that rifle 💀. ~ Outis/LilGayShit)
