Nobody's POV- 

"So am I the only one worried about Uraraka and Midoriya?" Kirishima asks his lunch table while carefully trying not to over-pour the dressing on his salad. "I was just going to bring that up! She keeps avoiding him like he is the plague." Kaminari comments and Mina nods.

"Just keep out of the shitty nerd's life." Bakugou comments and the group sitting with him collectively sighs. "You're no fun!" Kaminari shouts at him and Bakugou growls at him which results in Kaminari shutting up.

Over at the Deku-Squad table we hear the same topic being discussed. "Why isn't Midoriya sitting with us today?" Todoroki asks and Tsu shrugs her shoulders. "I haven't heard from his lately." She responds with and he nods.

"Can we like, not talk about him today?" Uraraka sighs and the table ignores the comment. "It could do with Uraraka trying to expose what he went through when he was gone." Iida informs them. "That wasn't what I was going to tell you guys! I swear!" Uraraka says and is once again ignored.

She groans and gets up from her spot at the table and walks out of the cafeteria. 'I refuse to believe that is actually my sweet Deku! He is a cold hearted machine!' She thinks as she goes to sit at an empty table.

Shota Aizawa POV- The Same Time

I glance over at the Problem Child who decided to eat his lunch in the classroom today. 'What did you go through over there to change you that much?' I think as continue to grade the tests I handed out today. "Uraraka got an 95. Midoriya, Yaoyorozu, and Bakugou all aced it. And Kaminari got a 90? Those study sessions with Jirou must finally be working." I mumble to myself as I finish grading the last of the tests.

I take another glance at Midoriya and see him packing up his lunch and putting it away before taking out a brand new notebook and writing things down. He writes for five minutes before the bell rings and all the students come back to class.

I stand up from my desk and make my way over to the podium that stands in front of the class and clear my throat. "Settle down!" I command. "Today we are going to be talking about something many Pro-Heroes experience." I tell them and hear some confused whispers.

I write on the chalk board. "PTSD or also known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder." I say and catch Midoriya shift in his seat and look down. "PTSD is a mental health condition that is triggered by a traumatic or terrifying event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event." I inform the intrigued class.

"We will be going over it later this week but I wanted to inform you that we will be talking about it." I say and they nod. "Now. Go change to your PE Uniform and meet me at Training Center Echo-Four." I tell the class that immediately listens to me. 

"Can I have a moment with you Midoriya." I say as he goes to step out of the classroom. He turns around and walks towards me. "Yes?" He asks me. "I think you know what this is about." I tell him as he looks away from me.

"Actually I don't." He tells me and I sigh. "A lot of the Teachers think you could possibly be suffering from PTSD. And they want to put you in therapy with Hound Dog and get you back in contact with your mother." I tell him and he walks backwards.

"No. No way in hell am I going to therapy! I don't have PTSD and I don't need to talk with my Mom! So stay out of my personal business. Okay?" He says with venom in his voice and walks out of the room to go change. I sigh and being to walk to the training center.

Izuku Midoriya POV-

I enter the locker room and see it is completely empty because of me having my little conversation with Aizawa. I get my PE Uniform out of my backpack and go change in a bathroom stall, just in case somebody walks in.

I'm about to put my shirt on when somebody pounds on the stall. "Oi! Finish up in there we are waiting for you!" I hear Bakugou shout. 'Ah crap.' I think as I scramble for my shirt and accidentally zap myself with the blue lightning that comes out of my fingertips when I get stressed. 

"Ow!" I mumble, hoping that my friend didn't hear me. "Deku! What the hell is taking you so long, I can see your legs facing the door with your pants and shoes on so I know you aren't using the restroom! I'm coming in!" He declares as he explodes the lock and swings the door open to see me shirtless with the scars I got from when I was tortured and the black circle stuck on my skin covering the Arc Reactor.

"Where the hell did you get all these scars Deku?! And why the hell is there a sticker on your chest!" He shouts as he looks at my chest. "It isn't a sticker." I tell him and he raises his eyebrows. "Then what is it?" He asks and I think of the most believable lie on the spot.

"It's... an invention that speeds up my healing process. I still have some wounds from my vacation." I say as I slip my shirt on. Bakugou does his trademark "Tsk." And grabs my arm and pulls me to the training center.

When I get there I see the students already warming up. I quickly begin to catch up and see that Mr. Aizawa is looking at me. I brush his glance off and go over to the punching bag station. I put my hand wraps and red boxing gloves on and take a fighting stance.

I focus on not going overboard like last time. I am doing pretty well and go for a jab but hear a voice that I despise. "Where is Midoriya?" I hear a loud voice ask. I think about the events the occurred the other night and get so annoyed that when I go in for my jab my fist goes through the punching bag.

And because of my anger, that draws his attention towards me. I remove my hand from the hole I made and turn around to face him and the class who was trying to listen in on us. "All Might. What a pleasant surprise." I say sarcastically and he grunts. "I-I am deeply sorry for the events that occurred last night Young Midoriya." He grunts out while bowing and I smile.

"You're only saying this to keep your job. But I wonder if they've gotten around to reviewing the cameras in the gym that caught our interaction. How you would look with your hand raised and fist clenched." I say and his forced smile drops and he stands up normally.

"Ask about David and I'll aim for your injury next time." I whisper menacingly to him and he goes pale. "How do you know about that boy?!" He yells at me which clearly captured Aizawa's attention because he starts to walk over here. "Looks like our visit time is up." I tell him as he is forced to leave.

As he is pulled away I see the class looking at me in shock and wonder why. I look around to see if there is something behind me and when I look at the floor I see a small black circle. I look at my chest and see the bright blue glow of the Arc Reactor. 'Oh son of a-'
