| Third Person POV |

"How're you feeling Zuku? You guys are going to the USJ today, are you up for it?" Yamada was driving the family to school, and they were late. Again. Midoriya was returning at least, his body fully healed.

"I-I'm fine. Can you h-hurry, p-please? You're ba-barely going the s-speed limit an-and we're a-already late."

"Okay class, we're going to the USJ today so put on your hero costumes and meet me out front." Aizawa said, p*ssed that he was late.

"Hey, Mido bro! You're so manly!" Kirishima said as they got onto the bus. Midoriya was the last one on the bus as Recovery Girl was scolding him and telling him to NOT get hurt at the USJ.

"Hey Todoroki, can I sit with you?"

"Sure." He responded looking out the window. Shinso was right across the aisle being cuddled by Kaminari as everyone giggled and laughed at them. Now, Aizawa has another kid he hates.

"Ooh H-Hito, you're in tr-trouble! Kaminari, watch o-out for Dad. H-he literally s-said 'don't d-date a loud bl-blonde' and look w-where you are no-now." Others around them chuckled, listening, and watching their antics.

"Don't remind me that my boyfriend and I are getting killed tonight." Kaminari had fallen asleep the second he sat down and a soft snore escaped his lips.

"RIP Hito a-and Kaminari, you t-two lived g-good lives." Midoriya giggled getting the death stare from his dad as he gave them the middle finger. "I l-love you t-too dad," Midoriya mumbled, sitting back in his seat.

"Midoriya, can we talk?" Todoroki said, turning slightly to face his crush. The bus came to a stop as he said that, signaling that they were at the USJ.

"C-can it wait? Sorry, w-we're already h-here and I need to bo-bodyguard H-Hito and Kaminari." Giggling at his own words, Midoriya sat up as Todoroki blushed.

"Sure." Everyone stood up and exited, trying to block the two new boyfriends from their teacher who was out for blood.

The pro hero Thirteen greeted the class, Midoriya jumping for joy and asking them questions until Aizawa shut him up.

They greeted the class and told them what was to happen as the class was in awe at the huge building that seemed to go on forever. Having different sections for different training, it made it even more amazing in the eyes of the teenagers.

"Wow! They even have real villains too!" The sleepy Kaminari said, still clinging onto Shinso. Aizawa death glared at the two, not liking a single bit of it. That was, until he processed the words.

"Those are real villains. Thirteen, evacuate the students, I'll hold them off. Kaminari, can you contact anyone?"

"No! The signals are blocked!" He shouted, fastening himself to his boyfriend who wasn't too thrilled about his situation either. Midoriya wanted to help, but was shoved backward as his father went to fight.

The purple gas villain appeared before the doorway, startling the departing class. "I'm sorry to interrupt, my name is Kurogiri. We've come for All Might; the Symbol Of Peace, and to destroy him." Before Thirteen could do anything, everyone was teleported away as Thirteen began their attack.

Meanwhile, Aizawa was fighting the villains' relentless barrages of physical and now rather useless erased powers. Grouping together, Aizawa was getting overwhelmed by the loads of antiheroes that still trickled through a closing portal. As he took more down they backed off slightly especially with the takedown of one of their strongest allies.

Midoriya never learned to swim, and so the situation he was in was that much worse for him. Especially with the villains that were going in for the kill. Struggling to go upwards, he ran out of breath as he coughed out blood only attracting the shark villain even more towards himself.

Thanks to Asui, or Tsu as she likes to be called, pulled him out of the water and onto the boat getting Mineta second.

"T-thank you A-Asui." Said Midoriya, with a little cough and dribble of blood.

"I told you Midoriya, call me Tsu!"

"S-sorry. We n-need to get ou-out of here. And quick." He said pointing to the villains as Mineta squirmed in fear. As Tsu was explaining her quirk to Midoriya, the villains crept forwards, planning their own attack on the trio. "T-Tsu, grab me a-and Mineta when I ju-jump. Okay? M-Mineta, you know what to do, r-right?" The two nodded as Midoriya jumped with the very squeamish Mineta.

Using One For All at a careful amount he flicked the air, causing the pressure to stick the villains together with the help of Mineta. Tsu did her part and jumped, grabbing the two of them as they made their way to their fighting teacher.

They mumbled plans as Midorya shed a silent tear as he held back as to not fight the main evildoers. After Mineta unsuccessfully gr*ped Tsu and was drowned, the blue-haired villain noticed their hushed whispers and their presence.

Aizawa of course noticed this as his head was bashed in by Nomu.

Shigaraki lunged for Tsu but had his quirk erased too as he was flung around by a literal flick of a finger. Kirishima, Bakugo, and Todoroki soon arrived at the scene as they all fought, Uraraka and Mina carrying their bloody teacher to Thirteen who laid on the ground also severely injured.

Moments seemed to fly by as Bakugo had Kurogiri pinned with the help of Kirishima and Todoroki held back Shigaraki. Tsu and Mineta were helping the others as that left Nomu to attack the one Yuuei student who stood to regain himself after a short crimson coughing spurt.

Narrowly dodging the Nomus attacks, Midoriya landed a solid punch that only seemed to ripple the muscles of his enemy.

"What the heck?!" Midoriya yelled to himself, creating an opening for the beast to grab his shirt and heave him to the ground, ripping the sleeve revealing one of the many words carved into his body that no scar cream seemed to remove.

His skull made the nastiest crunching sound as it began to bleed, causing the itching feeling in the back of his throat to rise. Managing to hold it back as he sat up, Midoriya spat blood onto the ground standing on shaky legs before being stepped on by Nomu.

This action brought back terrible memories as the shadows of everything stretched and elongated until his eyesight became bloody red and black.

| Flashback |

"K-kacchan, please stop!" Was all Midoriya could say before he was chucked into the red brick wall of an alley. With the world spinning, standing wasn't an option for the 'doormat'. Bakugos underlings appeared suddenly beating the breath out of Midoriya as they stepped on him, smashing his head against the cold cement ground knocking him out quickly.

Ignoring the fact that the abused kid was blacked out, Bakugo stepped in himself to beat him up. Explosions rang out somehow not attracting the attention of passerby as Midoriyas open wounds began to clot and stop gushing only to be reopened and go through the process a few times before the group got bored and left their half-dead classmate on the floor surrounded in his own splattered blood.

It wasn't too long until he awoke, screaming in agony at the slightest movement he made. Huffing with an extreme level of discomfort, he grabbed his first-aid kit from his singed backpack. While cleaning his wounds as inexperienced as he was he metaphorically bit the bullet.

It was about then when he started disappearing for long hours when really he was passed out in an alleyway. Inko was of course worried as saying he was 'hanging out with friends' didn't explain his cauterized clothes and bruised body.
