UA ASSEMBLY HALL/IZUKU POV

Currently all of UA's students are seated in the Hall while Nedzu approaches the Podium.

"Students, my apologies for such a sudden assembly but some very disturbing news has come to light and as such must be addressed now." It was at this point I noticed the staff blocking off the entrances. "Many of you would have noticed the chaotic times we live in, some of you would have even lost a loved or special one in your life as well as putting your education and future as Pro Heroes into jeopardy." At this point one could hear sirens in the distant. "And if the most observant of you had been paying attention to news stories you could conclude the reason of all these current chaotic conditions was one persons actions... The Joker." Fuck. I can already see where this is going, in this case I've got to look for the right moment to get the fuck outta here. "And after a recent raid of the Joker's Hideout, we have come to learn the identity." At this point armed police entered through the side doors guns primed to open fire, my throat itches with a breath bolt building up while my fingers started shaking with anticipation as a fog like smoke wisped around my fingertips.

"Alarming enough The Joker is a teenager and in fact one that attends UA High, one that specifically attends the Hero Course." This received a loud collective 'Le Gasp' from the students.

"Please stand up and peacefully surrender, Jakku Yumoa." The crowd went ballistic as I released a breath bolt into the ceiling and then quickly followed up with a large cloud of fog obscuring the Heroes and Police vision. Surveying the scenario from the backstage All Might ran out with such speed that the fog dissipated to reveal that I had already left through the new hole in the roof.

1-A/THIRD POV

The school was in shock. There was no better way to put it. Everyone had just found out that the most powerful student in the first years was also the most wanted villain in Japan. None were more shocked than 1-A.

"Ya know when I think about it he was sort of the complete opposite of The Joker when he was here, wonder why?"

"Because Denki if he acted like The Joker everyone would figure out he is Joker." This was courtesy of Jirou.

"I did find it strange that while so powerful he was quite anti-social."

"Hmm, elaborating from Yaomomo, I can draw three examples from this class where powerful quirks usually are owned by very anti-social people like Bakugo, Todoroki and Yumoa."

"WHO YA CALLING 'ANTI-SOCIAL' FOUR EYES!"

"It's pretty terrifying that he was able to get in to UA while still doing all of those horrible things. Kero!"

"No, I feel like the scariest thing is that someone our age would be pushed to villainy."

"Young Ashido is correct, the path of a villain is dark yet the path to villainy is twice as dark. And for someone to have trekked such a dark path is disturbing. That being said the actions of Young Yumoa cannot be excused and he will be treated as the villain he has become no matter his age or circumstances." Everyone was surprised by the entrance of All Might and busying soaking the wisdom of Japan's greatest hero that they missed the entrance of Nedzu and Aizawa.

"Now students, I know you must be in shock so are we but if there is anything of value towards our investigation please tell us now."

"Um, Principal Nedzu?"

"Yes Kyoka?"

"When he appeared at USJ, he fought Denki, Momo and myself. During our fight he told me that he killed Mineta the day he was expelled from our class."

"Before we continue I would like to stress that if you would like to talk to someone about anything you can talk to either myself or the school councillor at any time. Now a very simple question to start off with, were any of you aware of his villainous actions?" Aizawa was answered by silence. "Alright next question, does anyone know a man by the name 'Izuku Midoriya'?" Nedzu was quick to notice recognition on two people faces, one surprisingly from All Might.

"H-h-how do y-y-you know t-t-that name?" Everyone looked at Bakugo seeing a strange and foreign expression grace his features. Aizawa answered.

"When reading through the notes, plans and other information at The Joker's base we found the name Izuku Midoriya and another name: 'Kacchan'." At this point Bakugo looked like he was about to faint. He suddenly stood up and stumbled out of the room. After a few more questions everyone was unable to answers the class was dismissed to their next class leaving the three faculty alone in the room.

"All Might, you were the last person I expected to recognise the name care to explain?"

"Last year I saved a young boy from a sludge villain, but by the time I got there the boy unconscious from a lack of oxygen. When the boy came to he was frantic and jumpy till he saw me, his nerves stopped and his eyes gleamed with something akin to admiration and he asked me a question that haunts me to this day."

"What did he ask?"

"He asked me, could a person such as himself, quirkless, could become a hero thinking about the danger he would place himself and those he would have to protect I told him he could not. His face stilled, I could see in his eyes that something had snapped, the next day I went to find the boy but it was as if had vanished." Nedzu and Aizawa were amazed and appalled simultaneously. Amazed at the idiocy that was All Might and appalled that the so called Symbol of Peace would crush a boys dream so easily.

"You IDIOT! What were you thinking! This kid has probably spent his entire life being ridiculed and bullied for his status, yet still hung on to his dream, that is until his what I could only guess his Hero told him to give up! What is wrong with you!" Aizawa started to, and please remember that this is a serious medical issue, lose his shit. That was until he was silenced by Nedzu.

"As appalled as I am about your behaviour and the way you handled such a volatile scenario, how does this relate t-, are you serious." Aizawa looked confused until like Nedzu he connected the story to the topic.

"The boy was Izuku Midoriya wasn't he?" All All Might could do was avert his gaze out the window.

"Well it seems the only thing left to do is talk to Bakugo, he obviously also knows this Midoriya kid."

"Indeed Aizawa, so if you wouldn't mind explaining yourself Mr Bakugo." The door opened to reveal a much different Katsuki Bakugo, gone was his air of confidence and in its stead was an air of ?depression?.

"Before my quirk manifested my best friend was Izuku, we hung out together, play heroes with each other, I would be King Explosion and he would be Small Might. But when my quirk arrived and his didn't-"

"You bullied him." Aizawa finished the statement off.

"No! What I did was more than that, beatings every day, harassing during classes and even degrading his name, instead of Izuku I called him Deku, useless."

"During class? What about the teachers?"

"They joined in, that's why for the longest time till UA I believed I was in the right."

"What about Kacchan, know him too?"

"Yeah, see Katsuki isn't the easiest name for a three year old to say, so where I called him Deku he called me Kacchan."

"Do you know what happened to the young man?"

"No sir. After one day he disappeared, according to my mum she received an email from Mrs Midoriya explaining that they were moving to America to live with her husband who works in the States."

"One last question can you tell me what day they left?"

"Umm sure it was {INSERT DATE HERE}."

"Very well, off to your next class than."
