Izuku lays on his bed nursing his wounds and drinking until the random pains in his chest no longer bother him. It's been 3 months since Kana had left him with nothing but a letter. Dear Izuku,I couldn't bring myself to say this face to face, but I can't do this anymore. These past 2 years have been great, amazing even. I just don't know how to explain how happened or when it happened, all I know is I don't love you anymore. I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry, but I couldn't just stay and lie to you. I took only what was mine, and I wish you luck in life.yours truly, KanaIzuku thinks back to the past 2 years of his life, leaving Japan, meeting Kana The love of his life and moving to Germany, making it to the top 10 heroes of Germany. His life was perfect, that was until he came home to find all of Kana and all their stuff gone.For the past week Izuku hadn't left his apartment, having been given time off from his hero work. All he has done was eat takeout and drink, trying to get the words, "I DONT LOVE YOU ANYMORE" out of his head, but no matter how much he drank it was all he could think about. The entire week he had been having random chest pain, chalking it up to his broken heart He didn't think too much of it. So, by the end of the week the pain in his chest had gotten worse but he couldn't bring himself to care. The last two days he had gotten many emails from the hero commission about a villain, who has been giving other heroes trouble and wished for him to hunt them down. With no other choice but to listen to their call, he sluggishly geared up and heads out.Aimlessly Izuku wonders the dark streets and alleyways with no sign of the villain. 2 hours of wondering he finds himself in front of an abandoned warehouse."Well look what the cat dragged in." Izuku looks up to the roof of the warehouse only to see what looked like a figure with rounded feline ears and glowing blue eyes. " If it isn't Inferno himself." Izuku stood there, not really seeing or hear the person above him. " What cat got your tongue?" Still unmoving, Izuku just stands there staring in the general direction of this person. " What are you just going to stand there, and stare at me, or are we going to fight?" Something clicked in his brain as the unknown person launches off the roof toward him, claw out and ready to strike. Izuku side steps and grabs the person, flipping them on the ground only for them to immediately get back up. He is now very aware of the fact that someone was attacking him, turning to the right and avoiding another strike Izuku lunges at them as toxic green flames burst from his fingertips in the shape of claws. After dodging each other for 5 minutes, both stop and stare.Now aware of his surroundings, Izuku gets a good look at who had attacked him. He could see their glowing ice blue-eyes, rounded feline ears, and tail. Without a second glance they both lunged once again, this time he felt his flaming claws hit flesh, at the same time felt ice cold pain runup his side. Izuku jumped away and looked down to see blood running down his side and the area around the wound and his clothing covered in ice. Looking back up, he could see the person's hood had fallen from their head, showing a woman with short white hair snarling at him. "I just the cats out the bag, Inferno." She starts laughs as she circles around him. " I should introduce myself then." Laughing as she continues to circle him. " My name is Killing Frost, and Ill be the cold that kills the flame." With one last burst of laughter, she lets out a cloud of ice fog that blankets the surrounding area, making it hard to see more than 1 foot in front of him."What's the matter, pup?" Her taunting voice echoed through the fog in every direction. "Now just stay like a bad puppy you are and take your punishment!" As killing frost talked, Izuku closed his eyes and focused on listing to his surroundings. Just as she reached him, Izuku let out a burst of hot air strong enough to blow her back and melt the ice fog. " I grow tired of your voice, cat." With another burst of hot air, a blaze of toxic green flames erupted from his mask, in the shape of wolf's ears and fangs. Izuku charges at killing frost as the jaw of his mask opens, allowing more flames to spill into the open air, heating the area. " You say you're the cold that will kill the flame, but it seems I'll be the fire that melts the frost!" Izuku's flaming claws meet her flesh only for her body to melt into steam. "Did you really think you would kill me that easily?" With no warning Izuku's mask hit the ground with a loud thud, completely covered in blood and ice.Standing there with his head turned to the side, Izuku stared at his mask in shock. "How!?" Unmoving Izuku touches his face only to flinch away. "How did she-" Killing Frost started to laugh aloud, as she watch with crazed eyes while Izuku stared at the blood on his hand in wonder. "You know I was going to let you live," He looks as blood runs down his face making him look feral, " But now, you're not leaving here alive." Izuku vanishes, only to reappear behind her, toxic green flames covering his entire left arm. "Burn in hell Bitch." Killing frost slowly looked down to see a blood-soaked arm protruding from her chest. " H-Haha y-you g-got m-me." With that Izuku roughly pulled his arm from her body, and watched as she slumped to the ground, dead.=========Time Skip=========Izuku was laying on his bedroom floor with a bottle of alcohol, with no idea how long he has been there, and no idea how her got home. The last thing he remembers was talking to the police and explaining everything that happened.*RIIINNNNNGG*Izuku looks to his right to find his phone laying a few feet away from him and just stared at it until it stopped ringing.*RRRIIIIINNNNGGGG*Once again, His phone rang, this time he reached over and looked at it. ~Unknown Number~ "Who the fuck?" He stared at it for a few seconds, letting it ring before he answered it "Who the fuck Is calling me?" Someone cackled on the other end, " Is that anyway to talk to your former mentor?" It took him a second for his brain to kick into gear, "Nezu-sensei?" Izuku's' gruff voice answered as he set up and placed his bottle down. "How did you get my number...you know what don't answer that." Nezu just cackled once again. " Now what made you want to call me out of nowhere?" Izuku stagers off the floor and moves to sit on his bed, " I need you to return to Japan, there's creatures that keep showing up, even giving All Might a hard time," Izuku sat there thinking, " And you need me to come back just to deal with these creatures?" Nezu sighs, " Not just to help with them but to track down who's behind these creatures, Izzy you were my personal student from the moment you made it into UA, even suppressing me in intelligence," Izuku almost flinches at the old nick name before answering "If I was to return IF I returned, what's in it for me?"He could hear Nezu sigh on the other end, " You get to see everyone you left behind your family and friends." Izuku was now in his kitchen making coffee, whishing he hadn't just drunk half of that bottle. "You know blackmail is illegal?" Nezu chuckled," And you know I go any lengths to get what I want." With a sigh Izuku chugged the still piping hot cup of coffee," Have me a place to stay and I will need my mask fix when I arrive." The last think he heard was Nezus demonic laughter as he hung up.Meanwhile within UA Nezus laughter could be heard through the hall and scaring the living daylights out of the remaining teachers and 3rd years that found themselves still there after school hours. " I really hope whoever that laugh was for survives to live to see another day."
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
"What the hell is going on? Did I just cough up flower petals?" I can hear my own heartbeat thudding against my chest, the tears rolling down my face as I set here staring at the small white blood stained flower petals. " Who the hell coughs up flower petals!?" the sound of my voice was foreign to my ear as I stood up, I had to hold onto the table as another flare of pain shot through my body, " Fuck that hurts like hell." Slowly I made my way to the bathroom to wash up, hopefully a hot shower will help.*RRRRIIIIINNNNGGGG*I grabbed my phone and pressed the answer button."Hello?""Izzy, how are you settling in?""Nezu, Its been Less then 2 hours since I've been here." I know he can hear how gruff my voice is, probably sounds worse through the phone."haha my dear student you sound pretty horse, something happen?" There it is." Just choked on my food earlier, no big deal."" Well I need you to come in Thursday, we need to talk."" Yea Ill come in that morning."" Good Ill see you then." I sighed once to call ended, to end up coughing again, luckily there was no blood or flowers. I might as well get some sleep.=========Time-Skip=========------------3rd POV-------------The days pasted with Izuku settling into his old home, and trying to find out what was wrong with him, after only finding out that the flower petals are Hemlock, a highly poisonous flower found mostly in Europe and North Africa. " Just great, I'm coughing up a poisonous flower." Izuku didn't know what to do or if he should tell anyone. Chances are if he did tell someone, they'd most likely call him crazy. He could probably tell Nezu, but that might lead to him in Recovery Girls office and getting beaten by her cane. " If I don't tell him and it gets worse ill still end up getting beaten by her anyway, there's no winning this." Izuku got out of bed and headed to his bathroom to get ready for his meeting with Nezu. 15 minutes later he walked out his front door wearing his newly fixed hero suit. according to the note that was delivered with his suit Power Loader and a student of his had been the ones to fix his suit, even added few things to it. " Might as well go face the music and hopefully not get shit whipped by a syringe shaped cane."=========At UA=========Izuku enterd Nezu's office annoyed with all the teachers and students staring at him as he pasted them. He even had to show the ID Nezu had given him to one of the heroes that teach here, Vlad King, was his name if Izuku remembered. "Nezu, you got some real assholes teaching here." The sound of Izuku's robotic voice, filled the office as he walked in without knocking, only to see 2 other people within the office. " Well shit." No one said a word as he closed the door. " Glad you could join us, Inferno," Nezu smirked as he sipped his tea," I'd like you to meet Eraser Head and Present Mic, they both teach here and have been helping with tracking down this villain.""WAIT YOUR THe Inferno?" Izuku let out a growl and flinched at the loudness of Mics voices. Mic bowed his head and apologized. " Didn't realized I was that popular." Izuku answered as he took a seat. " Are you kidding me, you took down some of the craziest of villains overseas!" Nezu and Eraser Head just sat there and watched as Mic practically fan-boy. " Thanks I guess?" Eraser Head slapped Mic upside the head to shut him up. " Mic, we are here to work, fan-boy on your own time." Mic pouted and turned back to Nezu."So, not even you could find anything on this villain?" No one responded as Izuku stared at Nezu. "No not even I could find anything on this person, which leads me to believe they have someone who is good at erasing any and all information." Izuku just sighs and stands up. " Fine Ill see what i can do, now for the other reason I'm here," He looks over to eraserhead. " Nezu will fill you in if he hasn't already and will inform me of what you decide on, for now I'm heading out," Izuku turns and starts toward the door, " Nezu Ill contact you if i find anything." With that he walks out leaving a very confused eraserhead and a very excited Mic. "Nezu what did he mean by you will fill me in?" Nezu just grins and sips his tea, " Well, Inferno has agreed to help train your students and will also join Mic's class teaching those who wish to learn a few more languages for extra credit if needed." Aizawa just sat there in aggravated silence, while Mic is basically vibrating in excitement.Meanwhile Izuku had made off UA grounds and into a random alleyway, bent over coughing up blood and hemlock petals. ' damnit' As he stands there in pain he didn't notice the tall skinny blonde that had approached him. " Are you alright?" Izuku slowly stands up, eyes wide as his hand covers his mouth while blood drips from between his fingers.======With Nezu=====As soon as Aziawa and Mic left his office Nezu frowned, having noticed Izuku had looked tense and uncomfortable. 'Ill have to keep an closer eye on him and ask him about it next time.' Silently he turns to his computer and starts looking for any signs of the villain.=========In An Alleyway========Somewhere not far from the school, " You don't look so good." Izuku looked over from where he was leaning against the wall, to see a silhouette of a person just as another wave of pain coursed through his body. " Fuck that hurts."
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
RecapSomewhere not far from the school, " You don't look so good." Izuku looked over from where he was leaning against the wall, to see a silhouette of a person just as another wave of pain coursed through his body. " Fuck that hurts."=======================Izuku had to close his eyes as he tried to stop himself form coughing. " No, I'm doing great, now what can I do for you." With a quick motion Izuku had the lower half of his mask off just in time for a handful of yellow rose petals and blood to force it way out of his mouth. " That's definitely no normal." The mysterious man said as they took a step forward, " Maybe we should get you to the hospital friend." Izuku wasn't listening to a word, just breathing. Slowly he stood up, wiped away the blood that had dripped down his chin. " What would a hospital do for me?" Placing his mask back on his face. Finally he got a good look at the man before him. He was tall and skinny, long blonde hair with two long strands hanging in front of his face. " They might be able to help you somehow." Izuku lets out a small growl, " I don't believe they would," He looked at the man through his mask and sighed " Look forget it, I've been through way worse.""I'm not sure coughing up blood and flower petals is anything to just push aside." Izuku didn't know what to say to that, he know this wasn't something to take lightly, whatever this was. He walked closer and ask the man who he was. " My apologies my name is Toshinori Yagi, you must be Inferno the FireHound Hero." Yagi said as they made their way out of the alleyway. " Nice to know that the number one hero knows who I am." Yagi stopped and stared at him in surprise, " H-How did you," "How did I know?" Izuku placed his finger where his nose was," Nezu use to call me a blood hound after I figured out a few heroes names after meeting them in both hero suits and civilian clothes."" I don't think we have meet before?" Yagi asked he stopped walking. " While i was in UA I couldn't be around other students my age, otherwise i would try to fight anyone i thought was challenging me, so I became Nezus personal student and was trained one on one with the other teachers, which lead to me going to meetings with Nezu and we made it a challenge to see if I could hide from everyone while collecting information." Yagi just stood there surprised, now trying to think back to those meetings with nezu, " Well seem like you managed to get by a lot of heroes." Izuku chuckled and continued to walk. " Yea hiding in vents became increasing more troublesome every year."As they leave the café Yagi turns to Izuku and tells him he should at least tell someone about what was going on and with a wave Izuku heading off in the direction of his home. Once there he changed into civilian clothes and left once again, heading off to the shadier part of town. After walking for bit, he comes to a rundown looking building.Walking in he ducks as bottle hits the wall above his head, " WHAT THE HELL DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THROWING SHIT IN MY BAR!!!" The guy behind the bar yelled at a random person across the room. "Wolf where the hell have you been man?" the guy behind the bar calls out to him. " Ringo where's DustBunny?"" I thought I told you to stop calling me that, Howler."" Ill stop calling you Dustbunny when you stop calling me Howler."Izuku walks over a table in the back and sits down, " Look Im not here to visit, Im looking for someone and they have the ability to hide from Nezu."" Well, that's surprising, Im guessing its the one creating those creatures that's been rampaging around?""Tenko if you anything about them i needed to know." Izuku watched Tenko as he took a drink from his cup, " No, not a single clue who this person is at all, but whoever's behind this isn't someone to take lightly."" No shit Tenko, I wouldn't have been called by Nezu to come back, Look all I need to know is if you and the others are willing to help track this per-" Izuku removed the black mask he was wearing as pain shot through his chest making him cough. Tenko sat there in silent shock as he watched Izuku cover his mouth while coughing. when he noticed blood seeping through his fingers Tenko stood up and grabbed Izuku taking him to a back room and making him sit down on a bench while he walked off to grab a towel. " Shit Shit, What the fuck Izzy! What the fuck?" Tenko handed the towel to Izuku and waiting for him to stop coughing. " Izzy you have two seconds to tell me what the hell is going on before I lose my shit.""Fuck Ten I cant explain because I don't know what the fuck is going on, all i know is after -cough- Kana left me I started having random chest pains then coughing up blood and fucking flower petals." Tenko didn't know what to say as he stared at Izuku," Shit Izzy, Fuck Im calling Giri, stay the fuck right here." Izuku just nodded his head and continued to wipe the blood from his face.Five minutes went by as Izuku sat there waiting when a dark purple portal appeared, and a person made of the same dark purple mist stepped through. "Izzy dammit We don't see or hear from you for almost 2 year and you come back-." Kurogiri noticed the blood covered towel and the white and yellow petals, " Izzy when- when did this happen," slowly he explained to kurogiri when he started to feel the pain and coughing up petals." Izuku this is bad, this could kill you." Kurogiri sat in front of him, taking his hands within his, " Izzy look at me, you are suffering from Hanahaki Disease, and there's only a few ways to get rid of this is through surgical removal, or your feelings are returned, or the rare chance you falling love with someone else." Izuku let out a raspy sigh and looked up at kurogiri, allowing him to see the three claw shaped scars that span from the left side of his face and across to his left temple." Giri what would happen if I got it surgically removed?"" It would mean you would lose the ability to ever love anyone again, Izzy I'm not telling you to get the infection removed but the longer you wait the worse this will get."Izuku stands up and puts his mask back on," Okay just help me find this person and I don't know, just don't tell anyone about this." Without another word he leaves the bar and heads back home.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
For the next four weeks both Izuku and Nezu worked on finding any and all information on the villain. Still with the combined intelligent minds of both of them, they were having a hard time even finding out his name. Izuku was becoming more and more frustrated with this villain, there had been 3 more attacks since he had been back, which resulted in many civilians and heroes hurt, luckily no civilians were killed, but many heroes have been hospitalized do to the attacks. Along with the attacks, Izuku was also dealing with his own problems, mainly the ever-present pain within he chest and throat, through the four weeks Izuku had to go through the process of burning the petals as they forced their way out of his mouth, only to come out as ash and smoke."This is madness!" Izuku growled out in frustration and anger, " we've been at this for four weeks now, how can someone be this hard to find yet somehow send out these Monsters with no trace as to where they came from. Its like they just appear out of thin air, no warning, and after causing a shit ton of damage just to vanish just as it appeared." Nezu sighed, just as stressed and frustrated as Izuku. " As much as I want to find this villain, I believe a break is called for." Izuku looked around the office that had takeout boxes, papers and discarded coffee cups littering any open space, whether on the floor, desk, or coffee table. " That would be for the best." With that Izuku got up and started to pick up at the trash and organize all the papers before placing his mask over his face, waving at Nezu, " ill be back tomorrow." With a nod Izuku left the office with the intention to go home, shower and sleep away the night, but just as he stepped out of the main doors of UA a very loud blonde and a dark-haired hobo was waiting for him."HELLOOOOOO- there Inferno!" Mic the ever loud blonde greeted him while Eraserhead stopped his quirk with a sigh. Izuku just stood there looking at the two in confusion as to why they were standing out in front of the school. " Is there something I can help you with?" The two friends looked to the green haired male before them. "We thought that since we will be working together for the foreseeable future, that it would benefit us to get to know each other better." Mic proclaimed excitedly with a smile while Eraserhead just sighed again, looking just as tired as he was feeling. Izuku looked up to the sky, seeing as it was around lunch time, then looked back at the two before him. "Sure, I don't have patrol till later tonight and haven't had lunch yet, so why don't we meet at the café that just opened up." Izuku seen Erasers eyes flash with surprise before going back to his normal bored look as Mic seemed to burst with excitement. "WAIT! The Cat Café that you've been talking about since last week?" Izuku didn't miss the blush that creeped across Erasers face as he nodded and hide his face behind his scarf. With the time set for them to meet up Izuku headed home to shower and change into his civvies.Izuku found himself standing under the very cold water letting his mind wonder. He had never thought he would be back in Japan so soon, but here he was, in his old apartment working with his teacher and trying with all his power to avoid those who probably would yell at him for not letting them know he was back home. He knew he would have to face them at some point, but he couldn't bring himself to talk to them, so much had happened since he left his home without a single goodbye to anyone. Izuku was too much of a coward to face them as he was now, there are to many emotions going through his head to deal with the anger that he knows will be thrown at him the moment they see him. With a growl he shuts the water off and gets dressed in a pair of black, loose-fitting sweatpants, a dark crimson hoodie and his usual black mask. Finally, he grabs his wallet and house keys, locking his front door and getting on his matte black and crimson Kawasaki Ninja H2, speeding off to the café.Eraserhead and Mic found themselves within the café, sitting at a table on the right side close to the window. Five minutes went by as both talked about random topics when the bell on the door rang, Mic waved his hands in the air as Eraser sighed. Izuku made his way to their table and sat down beside Mic. The loud blonde could hardly contain his excitement as the greenette had sat beside him. "This is soooo cool, I've covered some of your battles on my radio show." Izuku chuckled and looked over to Mic in amusement, " I must say I didn't think many people much fewer other heroes knew about me, but it seems I'm more popular than I thought." While Mic went on and on about the time, he was in France helping take down a villain with a quirk that gave them the ability to move so fast they became invisible, Eraser sat there drinking his coffee happy to let Mic talk, just meant he wouldn't have too. This went on for almost 30 minutes with Mic asking question after question, and Izuku happily answered all of them." So, Nezu told us that you would be helping with Class 1-A and me teaching languages." Mic had finally stopped his fan-boy rant. Izuku sighed glancing over to Eraser then back to Mic. " Yeah, when he called asking me to come back and help with this villain, but with Nezu its never just one thing. So I knew there was more to this then just hunting down a villain." Izuku smiled behind his mask as Mic snorted into his drink. " The problem children wouldn't stop asking me who was coming to help with training, Damn brats." At that Izuku laughed and instantly he regretted it as he could feel the pain bubbling up. Izuku was up out of his seat within seconds, both Mic and Eraser looked up at him in surprise. " Is there something wrong?"" No," Izuku cleared his throat " No just remembered I was supposed to meet some in an hour, Ill be at the school within the next few days." With that Izuku left the café and raced away on his bike leaving both heroes confused.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
This was definitely ending with one less hero in training. Izuku had showed up to Class 1-A training at ground gamma, Eraserhead had them paired off into pairs of two sparing hand-to-hand, without quirks. It took them way to long to notice him standing next to Eraserhead, who was frowning. Once all of them had finally stopped and turned toward them." It took you two minutes too long to notice me." Izuku wasn't impressed."Alright you brats this is Inferno, he has agreed to help with your training." Eraserhead grumbled as his students erupted into yelling. The sound of 20 students all talking and yelling over each other was driving Izuku crazy, so with a deep breath he let out a guttural growl that echoed through out ground gamma, silencing all of them at once. Izuku took a step forward making sure he had their full attention. " As Eraserhead said I am Inferno the FireHound Hero, I will be helping with your training."" What kind of lame ass hero name is Inferno?"" Says the one who yelled out that his hero name was going to be King Explosion Murder."" No on ask you soysause face."From behind his mask Izuku looked over class 1-A, from the spikey haired blond with anger issues, to the girl with pink hair and skin moving to the purple haired mini Eraserhead with a hidden smirk, then finally he landed on the half white half red haired boy, after a few seconds he forced himself to look away, ignoring the dull ache in his heart. " For the next week I will be observing your training to gauge your abilities, Friday I will place you in groups of. Each following weeks I will work with one group at a time, while the other 4 groups will be with Eraserhead." The look of pure excitement filled their eyes, yet before any of them could make a sound Izuku raised his hand," Now for this week I am giving you a task. You have this entire week to find out 1 thing about me." Quite mummers filled the air. " There are no rules, no guidelines, Use whatever resources you can. I wish you luck, you will need it." He then walked away leaving class 1-A determined yet very, very confused.=======Nezu's Office=======" What do you think of Class 1-A?"" A bunch of overconfident hero wannabes." Izuku's words faded into a growl. "But with the right training they will be promising heroes."" Do you believe any of them will complete your task?"Izuku removed his mask, allowing his mess of curls to fall into his face. " I do actually." Nezu raised a eyebrow in question but received no answer. Izuku replaced his mask on his face and left.==================================================================The next day Izuku was hidden away, watching as Class 1-A spared one-on-one. It was down to the last pair, Eijiro Kirishima vs. Katsuki Bakugo. So far it seems there were equally matched, every explosion was blocked by skin hardened into rock. After another 20 minutes and no change to the fight Eraserhead made them stop and sending back to their dorms. Once he was sure they were all gone, Izuku came out of his hiding place and made his way over to Eraserhead." Ill have to say, your students have exceeded my expectations, that being said they have a long way to go." Izuku looked toward the door where the students had left out. " By the end of the week I will have both the list for the groups but a list of those who I will be giving extra training to if they agree." Aizawa turn toward him with a questioning gaze, " I wasn't aware you would be doing more than what was agreed." Izuku chucked and looked back to Aizawa, " Guess I'm just full of surprises." Before Aizawa could say another word Izuku was gone, leaving him very confused and in need of coffee.==================================================================Izuku had left the gym, heading straight to Nezu's office. While talking to Aizawa he had felt the pain start to rise, not want to burn the petals away in front of him Izuku made his escape. Unfortunately for him Nezu wasn't the only one in the office. Standing there talking to Nezu was Hound dog, the school's counselor. All he wanted to do in this moment was turn around and leave, but Nezu had other plans." Inferno nice of you to join us," He knew the smile on the rat's face meant nothing good. " We were just talking about you." Yup he wished he would just burst into flames right now just so he wouldn't have to deal with this, but unfortunately for Izuku he knew there was no getting out of this. " I do hope it was all good things?" Izuku's mechanical voice rang out through the room, his watches Hound Dog from behind his mask, hoping to Kami that he doesn't recognize him. " Oh yes, all good things indeed." Hound Dogs own gravelly voice rang out, " Nezu was just telling me how that you were helping train Class 1-A, I was hoping you would also help me." Now this could go one of two ways; One he helps Hound Dog in a way that led him to finding out who he was, or Two Hound Dog already knows who he is and Nezu is just playing on of his games. " And what would that be?" Izuku hadn't meant for that to sound as assholish as it did, but he couldn't do anything about now.Hound Dog began to explain how he was worried some of the students of class 1-A might benefit from a visit to his office but as it is teenagers, especially heroes in training, tend to think that would make them seem weak. " So you want my help to get teenagers to go to therapy?" At this point Izuku had moved to sitting in one of the chairs, hoping Hound Dog hadn't noticed how nerves he really was. Hound Dog just nodded his head, " You make it sound easy, but sure ill see what I can do." With one last nod toward both of them Hound Dog left the office. Once he knew Hound Dog was far enough away, Izuku Removed his mask and glared at Nezu." You couldn't have let me know HE was in here!" Izuku growled out." Izzy you will have to face them at some point." Nezu gave him an unimpressed look." I will, I just-" Izuku put his hand in his hands and let out a sigh "-Just not right now."Nezu gave him a sad look, not saying anything else. Izuku stayed sitting there for another 3 hours before getting up, putting his mask back on and left, deciding to go home for the day.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Izuku was sitting at his desk working on putting the students of 1-A into their groups, having already picked the 4 he would offer extra training too. It was taking he an unnecessary long time as he couldn't stop thinking about what Nezu had said to him. Eventually have gave up, telling himself he would finish the rest later, he got up from his desk and plopped onto his bed wishing he had just ignored Nezu's call and never came back. Soon he fell asleep not bothering to change his clothes or even get underneath his covers.^^^^^^Within Izuku's Dream^^^^^^^Izuku finds himself back in Nezu's office starring at his 12-year-old self, sitting on the couch with a notebook in his hand. He remembered this day, He was using the office as a hiding place writing about the new first year, remembered how unimpressed he was with them."Izzy?" Izuku turned to see Nezu set his teacup down and look toward his younger self."Hmm?"" You have been sitting there starring at your notebook for almost 2 hours." Both Izuku and Dream Nezu watched as younger dream Izuku's ears lay flat and drop his head. Izuku looked back at dream Nezu, he could see the worry in his eyes as he waits for him to explain. With a sigh\growl Younger Izuku began to tell dream Nezu that he had gotten into a fight with his older brother the day before and didn't want to face him inn fear that he was still mad at him, that they had both said some really mean things to each other. Both he and dream Nezu listened as younger Izuku spoke, retelling the whole story of why they got into a fight that had started as a small disagreement they turned into a full-blown fight. How he had stayed in his room and left early that morning.Looking back toward Nezu, remembering exactly how he felt, the fear that his brother hated him. Nezu gave his younger self an understanding look before asking him if he was still upset with his brother, only for him to shoot up off the couch growling with smoke pouring out of his mouth and nose." He told me that if I hated him so much that I should just go live with my mother and my other brother." Younger Izuku slumps back onto the couch, the couch, the smoke had stopped, and tears began to fall down his face. " Dose he hates me that much that he doesn't want me around anymore?" Looking at his younger self made him wish he could just go back in time and tell himself that he had nothing to worry about, that no matter what they would still be brothers, and nothing would change that, but he couldn't all he could do was watch as his younger self break down in his teacher's office." Izzy, I won't set here and tell you that everything's going to be okay, but what I am going to tell you is, sometime when people are upset or angry, they say thing they don't mean." Little Izuku nodded his head and tried to stop the tears. " Just as you've said somethings you didn't mean." With a guilty look on his face Izuku looked away as Nezu sighed before he spoke again, " My advice is go talk to him and work it out." Nezu gave him a pointed looked. " Apologize, I'm sure neither of you mean what you said, but if it doesn't work you are always welcome to stay with me or go to your mothers, Its almost time for you to got stay with her anyway, Okay?" Younger Izuku nodded and began to pack his things." If this backfire I'm biting you!" Izuku chuckled at his younger self wondering where he got the never to talk to the Rat Devil like that. " Oh! by the way the new first years Suck." Izuku was full blown laughing at his younger self now, along with dream Nezu.^^^^^^End of Dream^^^^^^^Izuku woke up in the middle of the nigh wondering why he had dreamed of that day. He wished he could go back to those days where the only thing he had to worry about was finishing his assignments and training, before he messed everything up, but he couldn't and there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it. With a tired sigh he got out of bed and went right back to his desk, he had work to finish and no time for thinking of the past.2 hours later he had all the groups worked out, although the last group would only have 3 students, he had put them each in a group he thought would allow them to help each other, weather it was with their quirk or with themselves. " Now all I have to do is wait and see if any of them can complete my task." Izuku smirked to himself as he got up to take a shower knowing he wouldn't go back to sleep. He decided to go out on patrol, so after contacting the hero committee, Izuku put his hero suit on and head off into the night.It wasn't long before the sound of a fight could be heard, so Izuku headed off towards it jumping from roof top to roof top, once there he could see Eraserhead fighting against 3 villains with 2 already knocked out. Izuku watched knowing Eraserhead could hold his own, but then one of the unconscious villains had woken up and was going for a sneak attack. Silently Izuku jumped down landing a Flaming punch right in the villains face knocking him out once again." WHAT THE FUCK WHO ARE YOU?!?!?" One of the villains yelled out causing Eraser to glance behind himself. " Nice of you to join me Inferno," Another Villain went down and the last two stopped looking at the two heroes in fear. " Didn't know you have patrol tonight." Izuku walked up to Eraserhead still keeping an eye on the last two while keeping an ear out just in case the other 3 woke up again. " Yea well couldn't-" Izuku was cut off as one of the villains shot off a ball of what looked like sludge, causing Eraser to looked back at them rendering their quirks useless. Both of them looked wide eyed at the two heroes and the last thing they seen was two pairs of glowing eyes.With all 5 villains tied up and the police on their way Eraserhead turned to Izuku, " Thanks for the help, Inferno, you go on ahead ill handle the report." from behind his mask he gave him a confused looked but nodded his head. " No problem." With a wave of his hand Izuku disappeared down the alleyway.Izuku had taken down 2 more villains and helped a few other underground heroes. Just as the sun began to rise Izuku found himself atop a random building enjoying the silence when a large shadow lands beside him. Having heard them coming toward him Izuku didn't react knowing it was Eraserhead. Izuku looked over as the smell of coffee hit his nose, taking the cup that Eraser was holding out toward him. Without a word Izuku removed the lower half of his mask and gulped down the still hot coffee." Damn I needed that." Eraser nodded and they sat in silence as the sun began to rise above the buildings. " Why did you give the problem children the task to find out one thing about you?" Eraser grumbled looking toward him. With a smirk Izuku told him he wanted to know if they were capable of getting information that wasn't publicly know. Eraser let out a sigh and ducking his face into his scarf hiding the blush and Izuku continued, " I want to see which ones figure out that this task is almost impossible to complete, which ones give up and which ones keep searching regardless." Eraser turned back to Izuku, eyes wide at the realization of what he had just said. " That's-" Eraser couldn't finish his word as Izuku was looking right at him that same smirk on his lips. Izuku let out a laugh startling Eraser, " Why do we meet up again, Mic could join as well, the same café?" Izuku said as he stood up, all Eraser could do was nodded and watch as Izuku placed the lower park of his mask back in place before leaping away.For 5 minutes Eraser sat there staring in the direction Inferno had gone. " What the fuck just happened?" With no other reason to stay there any longer he got up and headed off to his house, blush still dusting his cheeks and wanting to sleep for the next two days.
