【 Let me go... 】 His voice quivered, raspy as he attempted to pry his hands off of him. Laughter echoed, maniacal and loud, making him flinch the sound.
【 What are you going to do about it? 】 He said mockingly before smashing his face to the ground. He gasped out, the shock and pain washing over his body as he felt something spill.
【 Time to end this once and for all. 】 He could hear him approach, his footsteps loud as he desperately tried to crawl away.
He couldn't even think as he watched himself get thrown around, his body burned and shivered, his blood splattered everywhere. From afar, he could hear the voices of his friends, their shouts and yells.
【 Farewell, BoBoiBoy. 】
Terror filled him as he watched as a bright light came blasting towards him. A scream erupted from his mouth, while he was laughing, as his body burned, it burned!
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!
---------
【 STOP IT! 】 BoBoiBoy screamed out.
His eyes snapped open, jolting up from the bed, heart pounding against his chest. He was covered in cold sweat, his whole body trembling, as he wrapped his arms around himself. His eyes flickered, scanning the room hastily, before shutting them close as he tried to calm his breathing.
【 I'm okay... Retak'ka's gone... I defeated him... 】 BoBoiBoy told himself, repeating self-assurances to himself, counting in his head as his breathing slowed down.
That's right, just breathe. Breathe, 1, 2, 3, 4. Hold your breath, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Now breathe out, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Nice and easy.
It takes a moment, but he manages to calm himself down. With his mind clearer, he finally takes a good look at his surroundings. Everything was white, from the walls to the curtains. His eyes then trailed himself, his left arm was bandaged up, and there was an IV on his right hand's wrist. Bringing his hands up to his head, he could feel the soft material of bandages around his head.
Then it clicks, he was at a hospital.
It reminded him that he hasn't actually gone to a hospital on Earth for years. Even as a kid, with all of those injuries he gained, he somehow managed to avoid getting admitted to the hospital. He was usually able to just patch himself up.
And with him working with TAPOPS, this meant they had advanced alien technology that didn't need him to be admitted to a hospital. Plus it would have been a hassle to teleport to a hospital on Earth and have to explain everything.
Staring at his bandaged arm, his brows furrowed as he gently caressed the spot where his arm got disintegrated. His eyes widen when he finally registers his missing watch. Panic begins to build up, his breath quickening as he spun his head around.
Soon finding it placed on the bedside table next him with his dinosaur cap beside it, a sigh of relief escapes his mouth as he reaches out to grab both the watch and hat.
His watch appeared to not have anything broken, so that was a relief, though he was a bit surprised to see his dinosaur cap was now clean. Did they clean it for him? He smiles softly. He's gonna have to thank them later.
Focusing on his watch, he quickly tries to contact his friends. He frowns, however, when he is met with nothing but a static screen. Even their signals were gone. They were on Earth during the final battle with Retak'ka, weren't they? And even if he did manage to somehow teleport to another country, they have galaxy-wide signals so they should still be able to contact each other, especially if he was only an ocean away.
He sighs. He'll just have to try again later, first he needs to inform someone he's awake now. He turns to the wall behind him, he vaguely remembers that there was a button he could push to alert someone. It didn't take long to realize where it was, and he promptly pushed it, holding it for a second longer before releasing it.
Now he waits, and he doesn't wait long as a nurse comes in. She seemed quite surprised to see him awake, but immediately shook it off and approached him, clipboard in hand. She began to speak, but he couldn't understand what she was saying.
He hated the language barrier he was placed in. He suddenly remembered the time Yaya and Ying asked him if he wanted to try learning every language ever, which he immediately declined, not exactly wanting to spend years learning every language there was. But he kinda wished he did now.
Waving his hands, he catches the nurse's attention, stopping her from continuing any further. "I don't speak... um your language..." BoBoiBoy said meekly.
The nurse immediately understood and quickly bowed her head, he safely assumed she was apologizing for the miscommunication, before rushing out of the room. He stared at the door, jumping slightly when the door slid open again to reveal a different woman who he realizes must be his doctor.
"Hello, BoBoiBoy-san. I am Dr. Kamiya Masayo, I'm glad to see you have finally woken up." The doctor introduced herself, a soft smile on her face as she approached the brunette.
BoBoiBoy stared at the woman, a question lingering in his mind that his month soon voiced, "How long have I been asleep for?"
"You've been asleep for seven days now."
"A week?!" BoBoiBoy exclaimed agasped.
That was longer than he expected, the longest he's ever been unconscious for was 5 days after the fight with Vargobra. He feels a chill down his spine just thinking about the space pirate captain, he never wants to look back at those days.
"You were in critical condition when you arrived, we've healed you to the best of our abilities but you will still have to stay here and rest until you've fully recovered." Masayo explained further.
BoBoiBoy couldn't help but feel a bit guilty upon hearing this. "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble." He apologized, lowering his head and averting his eyes.
Masayo shook her head, her smile still prominent. "You did nothing of the sort, BoBoiBoy-san. This is my job, and I'm here to ensure your well-being. So, there's no need to apologize."
Lifting his head, the brunette is greeted with a warm expression, he gives the doctor a small smile and nods his head.
"If you are all right now, I'm going to need to check up on you." Masayo said, scribbling something on her clipboard.
"Um..." Masayo looked up from her clipboard, finding the brunette rubs his left arm for comfort, he was getting a bit shy, mumbling with his words.
Seeing the brunette caressing his bandaged arm, Masayo quickly voiced reassurances to the boy. "It will heal. It might leave a scar but don't worry, it will only be a faint one."
BoBoiBoy's head jerked towards the doctor, nodding his head upon the news. "I wasn't worried about that but thank you."
"I was wondering how everyone else was..."
Masayo was silent for a moment. She didn't understand what the boy meant but then something clicked in her head. Oh, those Pro Heroes must be who he was referring to.
But she soon discovers that those Pro Heroes aren't the only ones he was referring to. She'll have to ask about them later, the boy is really insistent on seeing them.
---------
It had been a week since the USJ incident. Everyone in Class 1-A was still a bit shaken from the events but everything is slowly getting better.
Waiting for homeroom to start, Izuku scribbles on his notebook, muttering to himself as he writes. Flipping to the next page, the greenette halts, eyes fixated on the page in front of him.
It was the page he made about the boy from the USJ: BoBoiBoy.
There was a poorly drawn (it's hard to draw someone without a reference, Izuku would tell himself) drawing of the boy on the page with information about him beside it. It wasn't much about him Izuku knew about but he wrote down what he knew and saw.
Three Quirks... and maybe even more. Questions filled his head as he tried to make sense of it all. Lost in his own thoughts, Izuku barely even registers that his mummified teacher had came in.
「 Before we start... 」 But his teacher's voice promptly snapped him back to the present.
「 Asui. Bakugo. Kirishima. Midoriya. Mineta. Todoroki. 」 Aizawa called out the six of them, catching everyone's attention. 「 Come outside the classroom with me for a minute. 」
They watched as their teacher walked towards the door. Izuku was a bit stunned and confused but soon stood up from his desk to follow their teacher. Alongside his classmates, he couldn't help but wonder why they were called outside the classroom.
There was a moment of silence, the six all lined up in a straight line in front of the classroom, as they waited for their teacher to tell them the news.
「 You six remember the boy during the USJ incident, right? 」 Aizawa suddenly asked.
「 What a coincidence... 」 Izuku couldn't help but notice the timing. Just a moment ago, he was thinking about him and then the next, his homeroom teacher is asking them about him.
「 He woke up yesterday, and apparently he's been asking to see you six. 」
Gasps escape their lips. Izuku was just as shocked as everyone. They were technically still strangers to BoBoiBoy so why would he ask to see them?
But then, Izuku remembered the promise BoBoiBoy made to them. Was BoBoiBoy worried about them?
「 Usually, we wouldn't let students visit random kids who suddenly appeared on school grounds during an attack. But the kid's been nothing but restlessly worried about you six ever since he woke up. 」
「 He's calmed down but still insists on seeing you guys. So, if you six want to, I'll give you till the end of the day to decide if you want to go. 」
「 If you do, then wait inside the teacher's lounge after school, there will be someone taking you to the hospital he's currently staying in. If you don't, tell me and just go on with your day. 」
No one said a word after Aizawa's explanation ended. Izuku was still processing everything. He's brought back when he hears a scoff to his right.
「 Why the hell would I visit some random stranger I don't know? 」 It was Kacchan. Blunt and straightforward as always. The blond seemed annoyed at the whole situation.
「 Count me out, I have better things to do than that. 」 Bakugou snarks, crossing his arms, muttering something about wasting his time.
Izuku's brows furrowed, glancing at his childhood friend who quickly caught his gaze and glared at him. The greenette lets out a quiet yelp, looking away from the blond who he hears click his tongue.
「 I'm busy later today. 」 Someone else voiced.
Glancing to his left this time, Izuku finds himself looking at the heterochromic boy. There was something about Todoroki's expression that made the greenette muse.
Confusion? Irritation? A mix of both? It was so hard to read the heterochromic boy.
Todoroki spots Izuku's stare, and the greenette quickly looks away. 「 It's bad to stare, Izuku! 」 He screamed in his head.
Aizawa looked at the two teens who declined, waiting for a moment for anyone else to interject their decline, then nodded his head at the two teens.
「 All right, if that's all... 」 Aizawa trails off when Izuku suddenly raises his hand.
All eyes are on him, and he silently regrets his life choices. Taking a deep breath, he asked, 「 Can we stop by somewhere before we go to the hospital? 」

Out of six students, four accepted. Izuku, Tsuyu, Mineta, and Kirishima.
The four made their way to the teachers lounge together, chatting amongst each other as they neared their destination. Opening the door, they entered the empty room, sitting down on the couch to wait for their guide.
To say Izuku was surprised would be an understatement. The last thing he expected was for All Might to be the one guiding them under the guise of his small might form-Yagi Toshinori.
「 Are you the one taking us to see BoBoiBoy-chan? 」 Tsuyu asked, tilting her head as she stared at the blond skinny-looking man.
The blond man smiled at them, giving them a thumbs up.
「 Yes, I've been told that you four want to stop by some places before we go to the hospital so it's best we go now before visiting hours end. 」
After some introductions and a few more exchanges of words to each other, everyone starts filing out of the room. Toshinori, however, stops in place when he feels a small tug on his sleeve. Turning his head around, he is faced with his disciple's worried face.
「 All M- I mean, Yagi-san. What will we do about BoBoiBoy knowing you-know-what? 」 Izuku whispered as quietly as he could, wary of anyone listening in.
Toshinori places a hand to his side, covering his mouth as he whispers back,「 Don't worry Young Midoriya. That's why I volunteered to take you there. I plan on speaking with him directly about it. 」
「 Hopefully he hasn't accidentally told anyone. 」
Izuku nodded, the tension on his face fading as he walked ahead. They should spot dallying any longer before someone walks in on them. The two catch up with the rest, giving them a fake excuse for why Izuku stopped to talk with Toshinori.
Toshinori said he volunteered to do this because he wanted to speak with the mysterious boy himself about his form, but there was another reason for it. Multiple.
His students seem very fond of him, or at the very least curious to know more about him. Izuku had told him how he was his hero; he saved his disciple's life. But he still broke the law.
Was he a vigilante? That would be unlikely considering U.A.'s security systems, but then again the League of Villains managed to get through that so what's to say the boy had something similar.
The principal has deliberated on what the boy's punishment should be, discussing with staff members for their opinions but ultimately decided to wait until Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi's interrogation with the boy is finished to decide the boy's fate.
Everyone was a bit split, but Toshinori was leaning more towards giving the boy the benefit of the doubt. The boy saved and protected his students and his colleague, Aizawa.
They were practically strangers but he still did it. Whether it was a trick or not, Toshinori could find that out during their visit.
---------
BoBoiBoy was left to his own devices, and he was lost in thought. It was all he could do. Being bedridden, there wasn't really much he could do but think and recall.
【 Japan... Does this mean I was just transported here? 】 He muttered softly, Dr. Masayo had kindly answered his questions which only led to more questions which she couldn't answer.
【 Ah. No, this place... this world is different from mine. 】 He didn't believe this was the Earth he knew.
In his world, powers were only given to those who were worthy as Captain Kaizo would say. Power Spheras created and provided those, unlike here where 80% of the population simply manifested powers called Quirks by the age of 4.
It was like a superhero world. And he can't help but be amazed that such a concept could even be true.
With a knock and a slide of the door, BoBoiBoy snapped out of his thoughts and spun his head around to face his visitor. Or in his case it was plural-visitors. Familiar faces greeted him.
He couldn't forget the freckled curly greenette or the frog-like girl or the short purple-haired boy or the spiky redhead or the blond man that deflated before his eyes.
Relief washes over the brunette as the five approached him. They were okay! He was relieved everyone made it out of there all right.
"BoBoiBoy-kun! We were told you finally woke up yesterday and we wanted to see you. I'm glad to see that you're okay!" Izuku exclaimed with a smile.
In truth, he couldn't help but worry about the boy who saved his life. Time and time again, he protected them just as he promised even when he looked like he was severely injured, he pushed himself back on his feet to fight. To protect them.
Izuku wanted to thank him for a long time now. And he wasn't the only one.
"Ah! You guys are here!" BoBoiBoy was told that he was going to have visitors, and he's pleasantly surprised to see it was the people he requested to see except . . .
It was then he noticed the missing spiky blond boy and the dual-colored boy. His heart sank a bit, but then he couldn't help but start to worry. Sensing the brunette's sullening mood, Izuku looks around the room curiously, suddenly remembering how Bakugou and Todoroki were the other people BoBoiBoy wanted to see.
He was about to assure the brunette but Kirishima beat him to it. "Bakugou and Todoroki couldn't come, but don't worry, they're all right!"
That brought BoBoiBoy's mood back up, a sigh of relief escaping his mouth as his shoulder relaxed. "That's good."
Looking at everyone in the room, BoBoiBoy lifts his hand. He remembers everyone but now he was struggling with their names. And oh gosh, he was terrible at remembering names. Pointing at them one by one, BoBoiBoy does his best to call them by their names.
"Izukun." He points to the greenette, who stares at him with a puzzled look.
"Asuyu." He then points to the frog-like girl, who lets out a confused croak, tilting her head.
"Mini... something..." He then points to the short purple-haired boy, who lets out an offended yell.
"Kiri...?" He then points to the spiky redhead, who just gives him a toothy smile. Woah, his teeth are sharp!
"..." He says nothing when he points to the blond man, who gives him a small wave.
Judging from their reactions, BoBoiBoy can safely assume he got everyone's names wrong in some way. Soon laughter echoed in the room, Tsuyu was the first to correct the brunette.
"Close. Tsuyu Asui, but just call me Tsu." BoBoiBoy nodded, whispering her name repeatedly, making sure to remember it.
Mineta was less than pleased, waving his hands around as he corrected him, "It's Minoru Mineta! MI. NO. RU. MI. NE. TA."
Placing a finger to his chin, BoBoiBoy smirked as he pointed at Mineta and said, "Mini Min-Min!"
The short boy groaned but didn't say anything else, so BoBoiBoy took that as a means that the nickname was okay. Kirishima was next, chuckling at the whole sequence.
"If it helps you remember, you can call me Kiri if you'd like!" Kirishima offered, BoBoiBoy's face lighting up at the suggestion.
It would definitely save him some time remembering if their names were shortened. "If you don't mind?"
Kirishima gave him the okay, and BoBoiBoy nodded. Izuku thought it was a good idea too, finally snapped out of his daze a moment ago.
"Yeah, you can call me Izuku too!" Izuku said, smile faltering a bit when he noticed BoBoiBoy's expression of confusion...?
"Pff- did I accidentally put an n at the end of your name? Sorry!" The brunette laughed.
Izuku noticed that too, actually everyone in the room did. "Hold on seriously? I thought he was calling you Izu-kun." Mineta exclaimed, appalled at this discovery.
"I mean- he can't speak Japanese so I doubt he'd know how to use honorifics." Kirishima remarked, chuckling lightly.
BoBoiBoy feels his face heat up, embarrassed but also amused at himself. Turning to Izuku, the greenette was covering his mouth, hiding his smile behind his hand.
"Is it alright if I keep calling you that then, Izukun?" BoBoiBoy asked, catching Izuku's attention.
The greenette lowers his hand, showing the smile on his face as he nodded. "It's perfectly fine, BoBoiBoy-kun!"
Finally it was Toshinori's turn, everyone's heads turned to him as BoBoiBoy asked for his name. The blond man was surprised that the brunette didn't remember who he was or maybe he was pretending. Either way Toshinori was grateful, his secret would've been revealed to his other students if said anything.
"You can call me Yagi, young man." BoBoiBoy repeated the name, then repeated everyone's name quietly.
With the introductions and reintroductions done, Tsuyu brought attention to the plethora of bags they were carrying.
"Anyways, we all brought you some stuff. Hope you don't mind, BoBoiBoy-chan. Ribbit." Tsuyu said, placing the basket of fruit she was holding on the bedside table.
"Yeah, we kinda brought a lot." Kirishima added, lifting the two bags he had in his hands.
BoBoiBoy was touched. "You guys didn't have to do that!" But they all insisted.
Stillness filled the room.
Neither one of them uttered a word for a moment, it was complete silence until Izuku finally let out a breath. BoBoiBoy jumps at the sudden motion of the Izuku, Tsuyu, and Mineta bowing their heads to him, the sudden action surprising even the redhead and blond man.
"Wh-" He couldn't even start his sentence when the three said in unison, "Thank you for everything!"
Lifting their heads, Tsuyu started, "You saved us back then. Ribbit."
The two boys nodding their heads in agreement with Mineta continued, "You were pretty awesome! Beating those villains and protecting us!"
The short purple-haired boy punching the air, fake fighting invisible villains as Izuku finished, "You're our hero. Despite only meeting that day and being injured. We owe you so much for everything so..."
"Thank you very much, Hero-kun!" They exclaimed together.
Speechless.
BoBoiBoy's eyes wide fixed on them, mouth agape. They stared at him bashfully. Now realizing that they might have overwhelmed the still recovering teen. But that unease soon dissipated when they heard BoBoiBoy let out a soft chuckle.
Confused smiles crossed their faces, unsure why he was laughing but they took it as a positive reaction. Finally, BoBoiBoy meets their eyes, his lips curled into a big smile.
"You guys don't owe me anything! And if anything, I should be the one thanking you guys." The three glanced at each other, confusion on their faces but BoBoiBoy quickly answered the confusion.
"You guys saved me from drowning; you guys helped me despite not knowing who I am; you didn't leave me behind even when I told you it was fine."
"Like how I'm your hero, you guys are my heroes."
"So, thank you very much, heroes!" BoBoiBoy finished, bowing to them before lifting his head back up, a smile still on his face.
Now it was their turn to be speechless. Izuku was on the verge of tears but he tried to keep it in; Tsuyu kept a neutral expression though there was a glint in her eyes; Mineta looked like he was about to burst.
Toshinori and Kirishima felt a bit out of place, but there were smiles on their faces. Toshinori was stunned at the brunette's sincere words, and Kirishima was so inspired by the scene.
"You guys are so manly!" Kirishima exclaimed, rubbing his teary eyes as BoBoiBoy lit up at the statement, causing the brunette giggle.
"Man! Why do you gotta say cool things like that!" The short purple-haired boy shouted out.
"I'm really sorry for being so mean to you back then!" He shouted, albeit a bit weaker and softer this time.
BoBoiBoy just smiled, giving him a thumbs up. "It's okay! I would be just as wary as you if I was in your position. Don't worry about it!"
Mineta's eyes started to get glassy. "BoBoiBoy!" He wailed as he started rummaging through the paper bags that he brought.
"Come here. I brought you some cool magazines." BoBoiBoy tilted his head but scooted closer anyway.
"These are from my exclusive collection!" Mineta said in a weird tone, holding out one of the magazines to BoBoiBoy.
Before the dino-capped teen could even touch the magazine, Tsuyu slapped it away using her tongue. "Don't make him uncomfortable, Mineta-chan."
Ignoring the complaints of the short purple-haired boy, Tsuyu held out a bowl of cut apples. When did she do this without anyone noticing was beyond BoBoiBoy, but he still happily accepted the bowl of fruit.
【 This is nice... 】 BoBoiBoy thought.
He didn't like being alone with his thoughts for a while now and having someone- or, in his case, some people around. So for now, he'll enjoy his time with his friends...? Yeah, friends!

"Woah! You can basically become a human shield or spear!" BoBoiBoy remarked, gazing excitedly at the hardened arm of the redhead.
Kirishima chuckled, "It's not really all that flashy though." He said, his voice falling a bit.
"But it's not about the power though!" BoBoiBoy exclaimed loudly, brows furrowed, catching everyone's attention.
"Your power doesn't determine whether or not you can become a hero, it's your actions that does! And I think you're a pretty awesome hero-to-be!"
"Mineta-chan was right, where do you get all these inspirational speeches from." Tsuyu commented as Kirishima smiled widely at the brunette.
"Thanks, BoBoiBoy!"
"BoBoiBoy-kun. I've been meaning to ask." Izuku suddenly said, BoBoiBoy facing the greenette to give him his full attention.
"You aren't from around here, are you?"
BoBoiBoy chuckled quietly at the question, rubbing the back of his neck as he answered, "Yeah... I'm from Rintis Island, Malaysia."
"Malaysia?!" Everyone exclaimed loudly.
"How the heck are you here then?!" Mineta questioned, the brunette shrugging as he replied that he didn't know.
"But why were you injured? Did something happen to you?" Tsuyu asked.
"Ah..." BoBoiBoy's face falls, his words faltering as his hands begin to shake. 【 It's okay... I'm okay... 】 BoBoiBoy muttered, in his native dialect, to himself.
Finally urging himself to answer, he couldn't tell them the details, only a confirmation. "I... yes, something happened to me..."
Everyone noticed the drop in the mood. Tsuyu felt the most guilty for asking the question in the first place. "I'm sorry, BoBoiBoy-chan. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."
BoBoiBoy shook his head. "No... It's okay. It's unpleasant to remember... but I need to overcome this to move forward."
Changing the subject, BoBoiBoy recalls the time Tsuyu asked about his 'Quirk' but he was never able to answer it. "You asked me what my Quirk was back then, right?"
"You still remember that? Ribbit." Tsuyu inquired in response, her shoulders untensing with the change of topic.
This subject interested Izuku the most.
"Do you have multiple quirks? I couldn't help but notice how you used three different Quirks back in the USJ. You used some sort of wind Quirk when one of the villains managed to hit Tsuyu with their Quirk to save us. Then, you created a golem made of rocks! You protect Aizawa-sensei and protect us (again). Lastly was the red and yellow sparks you emitted when you zipped past everyone and saved me (again) from getting killed. Is it some electricity Quirk like Kaminari-kun's or is it something different?"
The greenette muttered his questions, pulling out a notebook out of nowhere, as everyone except Izuku and BoBoiBoy were staring at him with astonished looks.
「 I didn't understand a word... 」
"Um... no? My power is Elemental Manipulation. The three powers you saw back then were wind, earth, and lightning." BoBoiBoy answered nonchalantly.
「 He understood all that?! 」
Izuku's fast mutterings reminded BoBoiBoy of a certain fast talker he's close with. He was so used to her fast speech that he learned how to understand fast speech. He didn't think it was an unusual thing anymore, thought it always caught him off guard.
"Interesting!" Izuku exclaimed, jotting down words in his notebook as BoBoiBoy continued.
"As far as I know, I can manipulate seven elements." A gasp leaves Izuku's mouth, his excited expression changed into a worried one, confusing the brunette. "Seven elements? Wouldn't that take a huge toll on your body?"
"Well, I got my power when I was four. And back then, I could only manipulate three elements: lighting, wind, and earth. As I grew up, I learned that I could control more."
"But don't worry! After I got my power, I trained my body to be able to handle my power. So far, the worst side effect I've ever had was amnesia"
BoBoiBoy's explanation posed a lot of questions but it answered a few unanswered questions. Izuku was quite starstrucked. Elemental Manipulation, basically seven Quirks in one!
"How about the outfit change? I didn't get a good look but I noticed your clothes had changed." Izuku inquired, recalling BoBoiBoy's usual orange vest turned yellow.
"When I transform into my elements, my clothes change. I can't really give you an explanation as to why that happens though." BoBoiBoy answered, scratching his chin with his finger meekly.
Watching the two talk, the rest of them couldn't help but smile. To everyone else, BoBoiBoy may seem like an untrustworthy stranger that came out of nowhere. But here? He's just a kid their age with the same dream that unfortunately got involved in the invasion.
A kid who's bound to do amazing things in the future.

"We better head out now. We were only allowed a few hours but it was nice to see you again, BoBoiBoy-chan." Tsuyu declared, looking over at the window to see the setting sun.
They have been talking for quite some time now, BoBoiBoy was a bit saddened it had to end so soon, but he didn't let his disappointment show and bid them all a farewell. He'll get to see them again someday, right?
"Get well soon, okay?" Kirishima said as BoBoiBoy waved goodbye. "Thanks for visiting me!"
As the brunette's visitors started to leave, two stayed behind which caught the three leaving teens' eyes.
"You three go on ahead, I've already informed the driver. I have something to discuss with Young Midoriya and BoBoiBoy." Toshinori said, the three nodding before bidding their greenette friend goodbye.
"Is something wrong?" BoBoiBoy asked instantly as soon as the three left.
Izuku fidgeted with his fingers, taking a seat next to the brunette's bed at the same time as Toshinori did. "No... it's just... All Might." He fumbled with his words, looking at the blond man beside him for help.
"You saw my form, correct?" Toshinori inquired.
And now BoBoiBoy understood what was going on. "Ah. You mean how you seemed to deflate?"
"I swear to you I never uttered a word about it to anyone, don't worry." BoBoiBoy stated before Toshinori could answer his rhetorical question, his reponse earning some surpired looks.
"I had a feeling it wasn't something I should tell."
A sigh of relief escapes the two, Toshinori voicing his concerns and glad that it was false. "Phew! I was a little worried you'd unintentionally tell someone but I guess I was worried for nothing."
"Well, we at least owe you an explanation, but you must swear to never let this out to anyone." Toshinori said, peeking the brunette's interest.
"My lips are sealed." BoBoiBoy swore.
The next few moments, BoBoiBoy learns of All Might's fatal injury. How the pro hero can no longer work for more than an hour now. He could feel Izuku hold his hand, squeezing it tightly as guilt etched in his face.
He knew... the greenette had to keep all of this to himself? BoBoiBoy squeezed his hand back and caught Izuku's attention, he gave him a comforting smile which the greenette returned lopsidedly.
"You knew about it too... No wonder you were so panicked back then..." BoBoiBoy muttered softly as Izuku nodded his head silently.
Toshinori watched the brunette comfort his disciple, who was distressed about something he didn't do, his heart ached at the sight of it.
"...can I tell you something too?" BoBoiBoy suddenly asked.
"You can tell the authorities and stuff but I don't think I can keep this in any longer."
This intrigued the two, both sitting up straighter as they listened intently to what the brunette was going to say. They didn't expect the next words he'll say were these...
"I think I'm not from here... not as in the country, but as in the universe."
"I had no clue what a Quirk was until now. There's no such thing in my world. Like how being a 'Pro Hero' isn't an official profession in my world."
"My power... isn't even a Quirk."

Izuku and Toshinori left feeling . . . conflicted.
Another world . . . Another universe . . . such a thing isn't impossible but for it to actually happen, it left the two stunned. Izuku glanced at his mentor, the blond man had an unreadable expression on.
「 All Might... Are you going to... 」 The greenette trailed off, but Toshinori didn't need him to finish to understand.
He nodded his head at his disciple, affirming his inquiry. 「 Yes, this information is too important to keep. I'll inform Tsukauchi-kun right away. 」 Especially if what the boy said was true . . .
Izuku watched as his mentor took out his phone, scrolling through his contact list. The greenette's mind thinking back at the conversation he had with BoBoiBoy. The look on the brunette's face when he finally let it all out. There were still things he didn't tell them, Izuku knew that, but he promised to tell them more when he's ready.
Was it selfish of him to say that he was jealous? Izuku knew how important keeping him being All Might's successor is but . . . sometimes he just wants to be able to talk to someone about it. To vent to. Someone that's not All Might. Maybe . . . if he asked, Allight would allow him to . . .
「 Could I... maybe...? 」 Izuku mumbled, his mentor humming in response to indicate he was listening, but Izuku couldn't do it.
Biting his lips, the greenette shook his head. 「 Nevermind. It's nothing! 」 He exclaimed before speed-walking towards the car.
「 My mom's probably wondering where I am. See you at school, All Might! 」 Izuku waved goodbye to his mentor before running off.
No. That was asking too much, and he already messed up as it is. Izuku could handle this. He could handle this alone.
「 Young Midoriya... 」 Toshinori muttered his disciple's name, his face falling as he watched him get into the car and be driven off into the distance.
His disciple wanted to ask him something but refrained from doing so. Something was on his mind and wasn't sure if he could tell Toshinori, and that made his heart sank. Was he neglecting his disciple's feelings too much? The two of them will have to have a talk about it.
For now, he has to relay the information he gained to his detective friend.
---------
"Sorry for the intrusion." A male voice echoed from behind the door.
BoBoiBoy watched as the door slid open, revealing a man in a beige trenchcoat and hat. "Oh? It's okay, Mister."
"You're BoBoiBoy, correct?" The man inquired as BoBoiBoy nodded in response.
The man smiled, introducing himself with an extended hand, the brunette took it and shook his hand. "I'm Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi. You may call me Tsukauchi."
"I'm here to ask you some questions. You can take your time with them. No rush."
"Am I in trouble?" The brunette suddenly asked, catching Tsukauchi off guard.
The brunette's been reading up on the news and laws since he woke up. There wasn't much he could get information on since Dr. Masayo told him to rest up and avoid moving too much. Tsukauchi couldn't promise no punishment, and truthfully he won't know what will happen to the boy until the final decision is made.
But, he tried to reassure the boy the best he could.
"Don't worry. The team and I are going over your case, but ultimately what happens next will be U.A.'s call."
"It'll be alright, don't worry."
BoBoiBoy nodded again, as the man took a seat beside his bedside. They started off with some general questions. What's your name? How old are you? Where are you from? Do you live with anyone? What is your Quirk? So on and so forth.
「 Seven Quirks as one Quirk... 」
Then came the questions for the USJ invasion, where did you come from? How did you get there? Are you working with the League of Villains? Why did you protect the U.A. students? What is your goal? And the brunette answered honestly.
His Quirk told him he was telling the truth. The boy was just an unlucky victim that got wrapped up in the whole mess. But . . . the boy was still holding something back, he just couldn't place what exactly, and Toshinori's call from yesterday was still fresh in his mind.
"You said you were from another world? Another universe. Could you elaborate?"
BoBoiBoy fumbled with his thumbs, a sudden surge of nervousness washing over him. He told Izuku and Mr. Yagi, so he shouldn't be surprised they had told someone. Taking a deep breath, BoBoiBoy explained in more detail, a little bit more confident in confiding the information to them.
No Quirks? No Pro Heroes? Space? Aliens? Power Spheras? Power Watches? That sounded like a whole lot of gibberish but Tsukauchi's Quirk was screaming at him Truth. That was the Truth.
"You think I'm crazy... don't you?" BoBoiBoy said, averting his eyes from the detective, fidgeting with his watch.
He knew Izuku and Toshinori believed him because the man beside him was let in on it, but the detective could very well assume he was a crazy weirdo kid. But he didn't.
"No. No. I believe you. My Quirk allows me to detect lies and truths so I believe you, BoBoiBoy-san." This comforted the brunette.
"Final question, what happened before you got transported to the USJ?"
The atmosphere changed. The brunette's expression darkened, and he went still and quiet for a moment.
"I will never forget it." BoBoiBoy said blankly, his hands clenching his watch.
"I was... I was fighting a villain. A villain who took five of my elements. He hurt me and my friends... He destroyed everything in his path just to get to me. To get to my elements."
「 Stole? Could it have been... 」 Tsukauchi was unnerved. That kind of power reminded him of one person and one person alone.
"I thought my friends were dead. Thank god they were all right. But..." He shut eyes tight, hugging himself as quiet sobs erupted from his mouth.
"He... He killed Hang Kasa... Right in front of me... and I couldn't do anything."
Worry fills Tsukauchi as he places a hand on the brunette's back, rubbing comforting circles. "Hey, deep breaths, BoBoiBoy. It's okay. You're safe."
"You don't have to continue." BoBoiBoy shook his head, he wanted to get this off his chest, Tsukauchi could see that.
"I defeated him. Retak'ka. I defeated him."
"I was exhausted by the end of it all, and I fell, then I woke up at the USJ."
Waiting a second to confirm the boy was finished speaking, Tsukauchi gave him some time to calm down before he asked. He had to ask him.
"BoBoiBoy, have you ever heard of All For One?"

"...Like the three musketeers...? All for one, and one for all?" BoBoiBoy inquired, tilting his head.
Tsukauchi shook his head, not explaining any more, and gave the boy a reassuring smile. It was good that that man wasn't involved. Then again, the boy is from a different world . . . But how much different is it?
"Thank you for your cooperation, BoBoiBoy. I believe that's all for now." Tsukauchi concluded, getting up from his seat, bowing slightly as he made his way out.
"Okay, goodbye Mister Kauchi Sir!" BoBoiBoy called out to the detective.
A smile spread across his lips, and he held back a chuckle. 「 Kauchi? 」 Tsukauchi couldn't help but find the surprise nickname cute.

When he imagined what the U.A. principal looked like, this was not what he was expecting. A few days ago, he was told that they had finally settled on what they'd do with him.
"BoBoiBoy, correct?" The mouse-? Bear-? The U.A. principal inquired.
"Um... yes." BoBoiBoy answered, trying to refrain from showing the confusion he had on his face.
"I am Nezu. The principal of U.A. High School but I'm sure you've already guessed that." Nezu introduced himself.
"The Hero Association is currently looking into your situation but, I have a proposition for you if you wish to accept. Don't feel obligated to accept."
Curious, BoBoiBoy kept silent as Nezu extended his hand, a large envelope in hand. Looking at him for confirmation to get it, BoBoiBoy took the envelope-opening it, and there were papers? Documents?
"BoBoiBoy-kun, do you want to attend U.A. for the time being?"
Said teen's head shot up, shock clear on his face as Nezu continued.
"The school board and I have discussed it and we are giving you the chance to transfer into the hero course under the guise of a foreign exchange student until your situation is solved."
"We will put you under the care of your to-be-homeroom teacher, who will provide for your needs as well, if you wish to accept."
It took BoBoiBoy a moment to process everything. They were offering him so much... and a chance?
"...You said I have a chance... what do you mean by that?" BoBoiBoy inquired.
Nezu was quick to answer his quiry, as if he expected it.
"Right! Of course. You see, I doubt that the students of our school would be delighted to find out that some random student got in without going through the grueling test they've had to take to get in."
"So you will have to pass a test. It's only fair, and besides we still have to evaluate what you can do."
"But like I said before, feel free to decline if-"
"I accept." BoBoiBoy said, interjecting Nezu's sentence.
"I don't have a place to stay, no money, and I don't understand a single word anyone says here. You're offering me education, a roof above my head, and a chance to work towards becoming a better hero."
They offered him more than enough.
"This is a golden opportunity I can't pass up! So I accept Mr. Nezu Sir!" BoBoiBoy exclaimed, determination in his eyes.
Nezu was taken aback by the brunette's declaration, but quickly composed himself and smiled.
"Great! Then we'll provide you with the materials to study for the written exam portion but we'll leave the preparation for the practical exam to you."
"The test will be this week, Saturday. Work hard BoBoiBoy-kun."
After a few more exchanges, most things were settled. BoBoiBoy only had to stay in the hospital for a few more days, and he'll have someone to help him with both the written and practical exams.
As they left, Nezu couldn't help but recall the brunette's wording.
「 A better hero, huh? 」
