once more to see you

The calm before the strom

As the sports festival came to an end, Izuku sat quietly, noting all their possible plans with Nezu. The conclusion they came to was accepting the members of the league that can come willingly, and for tougher matters such as Shigaraki the heroes willing to help are, Nighteye, Fatgum, Ryouku, Hawks, Miruko, Vlad King, Aizawa, and the police assistance for all the legal shit. Katsuki and any other hero students who get recruiting by these heroes agencies are allowed to participate, but only if Izuku deems it okay, since apparently the Chimera trusts his judgment. The plan seemed solid enough, now only to put it into action.

Izuku's iphone:

Izuku added: Dabi, Toga, Twice, Magne, and Compress to chat.

Izuku: Are you guys willing to meet? I have something important to ask you guys.

Toga: Sure Zuzu, anything for you!

Twice: Okay sure, No!

Dabi: Sure kid, what's so important?

Izuku: Can't say over text

Dabi: understood, I'll be there

Compress: Sounds dramatic, I'll be there.

Magne: Sure hun!

Izuku: Thanks guys! Meet at our park once I get out of school.

Izuku look at Nezu. "I'll be meeting with them after school. You don't have to worry about them hurting me, I will try to get them here safely." Nezu nodded, crossing his legs, and taking a sip of tea. "I trust you. You may also tell Bakugou the plan, I know you would've anyways." Izuku nodded, it would be foolish of him to underestimate Nezu's knowledge, a detail such as Katsuki is no hard task to find out. Izuku stood from his chair, followed by Aizawa, who was more of a spectator once the planning started. They filed out of the office, heading back to their class.

Izuku laid witness to the winners' podium of this year's sports festival. 3rd place, Tokoyami, and Iida, 2nd place, Todoroki, 1st place, Katsuki. A pretty predictable order, but nonetheless Izuku was thrilled for Katsuki. "Kacchan!" Izuku exclaimed, waving the boy over. "How'd it go with the rat?" Katsuki asked bluntly. "He approved the plan! But I can fill you in on that later. Congrats!! Did Todoroki finally use his fire? Did Hatsume get the attention she deserved? Who won the first two rounds?" Katsuki slapped his hand over Izuku's mouth. "Slow down, You're lucky I can understand you when you get like this. To answer your questions, Yes Todoroki used his fire, guess you talked some sense into him. Hatsume used Iida as a personal advertisement for one round, so yeah she definitely got the attention. And I won the 1st and 2nd rounds." Izuku lit up, he threw his arms around Katsuki, the blonde flushing a deep pink. "I'm so proud of you! Today is just going a lot better than I thought it would." Katsuki rubbed Izukus back gently, "Don't worry, it'll keep going well, especially if we have anything to do about it!" Izuku leaned against Katsuki, ignoring the way his heart stuttered in his chest.

Izuku found himself once again waiting in a park, feeling the atmosphere change, and a purple mass appeared and suddenly not being alone anymore. "Hey guys!" Izuku greeted, receiving Toga, who jumped on clung to him, and many greeting from the others. "You guys might want to sit down..." The group looked confused but obeyed anyways, arranging themselves so they all sat. Izuku cleared his throat, this better not backfire. "I have a proposal for you all. I have secured you all housing at UA, any mental or physical help you may need, and completely clean criminal records with no punishment. You can accept or deny, I just care about you guys a lot, and I want to at least give you a choice." The league was stunned, and questions immediately arose. Compress, always the rationalist, spoke up first, "How did you manage that, and how can we be sure it isn't a ploy for UA to capture us?" Izuku expected this type of response, I mean in theory it seems pretty unusual for the school to allow this. "I'm well liked by the principal, seeing as I'm his representative. I also gathered strong blackmail on every teacher, student, and heroes associated with UA, and if they capture you all of it will be released. Nezu wouldn't risk it." Compress let out a wolf whistle, "Didn't know you had it in you, I'm in." Magne nodded in agreement. The next to speak up was Toga, "What will they do about my quirk, will they starve me too?" Izuku shook his head roughly, making eye contact with the blonde girl. "Absolutely not, Nezu has a strict nondiscrimination policy, and besides one of the teachers I know has a blood-based quirk as well, you will always have the resources you need." Toga smiled, and this one felt genuine. She squeezed Izuku and nodded her head. Another one in. Twice looked at Toga and nodded, "If she's in I'm in. Fuck off!" Izuku ignored the contradicting comments and smiled. Dabi shifted in his seat, it was obvious he had something to say but couldn't seem to speak it out loud. Izuku knew. He pried Toga off, going over to Dabi and leaning to whisper in the man's ear. "Don't worry about Endeavor, I'm bringing that mother fucker down. Besides you're brother would love to see you." Dabi's hand burst into flames, his tear ducts were burnt shut but it was clear he was in pain. "How did you-" Izuku handed him a notebook, this one labeled, 'Endeavor'. "I'm not letting you and your family suffer anymore." Dabi nodded, "Thanks kid, I'm in." Izuku smiled brightly at the group, pulling out his phone and relaying two texts, one to Katsuki, he was going to need help getting the group to UA safely, and one to Nezu to inform him of the update.

Katsuki showed up quickly, receiving glares from the group as he walked up to Izuku. Toga leaned in Izukus ear, "in that your boyfriend." Izuku's mind malfunctioned, he jabbed Toga with his elbow, she easily dodged, giggling as Izuku flushed pink in embarrassment. "Not yet, huh?" Toga said, causing Izuku to shoot a loo at her, that only caused the giggling to continue. Izuku chose to ignore the girl, in hope of calming his heart, he had just fixed his relationship with Katsuki, he couldn't let his childish feeling resurface. "Kacchan! Meet the gang!" Izuku exclaimed, gesturing towards the league. The tension in the air was evident, the way Katsuki scanned each person, looking for weaknesses or signs or malice, the way the league glanced warily at Izuku, making sure that this boy wasn't a threat. "They all agreed?" Katsuki said, cracking the tension, even if only a little. Izuku nodded, relaxing when he saw Katsuki release the breath he was holding. "Then let's get going, you need to get back to the heroes, they are ready for your signal." Katsuki grabbed Izuku's wrist, dragging him, his possessive nature making an appearance. The league followed, even if they walked slower, with more caution and raised eyebrows, no one said anything.

Izuku used his own ID to get on campus, splitting up with Katsuki at the gate. The blonde headed back to class, leaving Izuku to lead the League. As much as Izuku tried, there was no stopping the vigilant eyes of the league, they scanned the area looking for any signs of an attack. Izuku left them to do as they wished, as long as they continued to follow him towards the building that Cementos had created for them, it wasn't a big deal. When they entered Izuku felt as though his ear drums were going to burst as Toga let out a screech rivaling Present Mic'. It was a fair reaction, though, Nezu had done a good job of relaying the notes Izuku had on the Leauge into interior design. It was a two-floor building, first floor hosted a kitchen and living room, as well as two empty rooms, those will be turned into a common space of their choice, such as an art studio or gym. All the bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the second floor. Izuku pulled Dabi aside, allowing the others to explore. "Dabi, I understand if you don't want to, but I have permission to pull your brother out of class. Would you like to see him?" Dabi look torn, he missed his brother, he had seen the scar that now adorned his brother's face, but it was nothing compared to what Dabi looked like now. Did he really want his family to see him like this? Izuku reached his hand out to Dabi, placing it gently of Dabi's scarred skin. "I've talked with Todoroki before, he seemed really numb, he needs you." Izuku spoke, Dabi's expression softened, he nodded, following Izuku out.

Izuku walked into class 1A, whispering something to Aizawa. "Todoroki please accompany Midoriya." Aizawa said, not offering any explanation as he started the lecture again. Todoroki eyed Izuku but reluctantly got up, and followed anyways. Once they were out the door Izuku stopped in his tracks. "Todoroki I can't tell you why but please head to the Teachers Lounge, I will be in Nezu's office." And with that Izuku dashed away, leaving a confused Todoroki.

-

Todoroki opened the door to the teacher's lounge slowly, the sight that greeted him sent him into shock. A man with white hair and purple scar tissue held together by staples sat there. "Touya, there's way-" Dabi lifted his hand, showing off the beautiful blue flame. "Good to see you too bro." Todoroki let out a strangled gasp, running straight to Touya and tackling him, shocking Touya enough to extinguish the flame. "Natsuo is going to kill you for not reaching out sooner." Todoroki said, his voice sore with emotion. "I missed him, but if you couldn't tell I don't look so hot." Touya said, his nerves melting slowly. "No shit, you look like Frankenstein." Todoroki joked, earning a laugh from Touya. "I should've stuck around, you grew up to be such a little shit." Touya joked in return. The reunion didn't go to shit.
