 The Pros held their breath, unable to tear their eyes away from the UA student standing in the large pile of colorful bedding in the middle of the floor. They watched as he started to sway slightly, and swirls of white and gold surrounded him. Izuku's legs gave out, and the wisps of light caught him.

Now floating on his back with his eyes closed, the person spoke again. "Do not worry; he is merely asleep. It will often happen during this but will leave no permanent effect."

The heroes let out a collected breath, minus Endeavor. There were quite a few people here. Cementoss, Snipe, Ectoplasm, All Might, Nezu, Present Mic, Midnight, and Eraserhead...most of the staff were from UA. Hawks, Mirko, Endeavor, and Fatgum were the only ones who were normal pros.

Aizawa asked, "What are you planning on doing with him?" He could see his students asking questions out of the corner of his eyes as well. The villains, however, were remaining quiet, as far as he could tell.

"I would like you to truly see who Izuku is. Not Deku, although he is a lot on his own, but the boy behind that." The heroes frowned, trying to figure out what that meant. "I am going to show you the innermost workings of his mind. His past and perhaps the possible future if it becomes necessary. If you would all please stand by the walls." The voice asked. Without much other choice, they did as they were asked. The students seemed to do the same thing; some (Bakugo) had to be dragged. The villains seemed to love defiance because they looked to be arguing back. "If you do not do so, you won't like the result." The voice warned.

Hesitant but not stupid, they began to move to the walls of their room. A snap or click was heard, and chairs that reminded them of movie theater seats appeared in the center of each room. "Take your seats, please." Everyone moved to find a spot.

"Thank you. I will start with something Izuku has loved all his life: quirks—or rather, analyzing them."

The entire glass wall itself acted like a movie screen. Many weren't fond of the fact that it blocked their view of Midoriya. A picture of him, however, popped up in his place.

A few heroes were delighted at the wholesome picture of the boy, clearly young and having been taken by someone close to him as he sat with his legs crossed, holding up a peace sign. A new voice spoke up, narrating, "Since the day Izuku Midoriya knew what a quirk was, he hadn't been able to take his mind off of them. The thoughts of where they come from and what they are quickly morphed to how many are there and what can they do." Understandable, what child wouldn't be curious about such things.

The picture changed, coming to life like a movie. Midoriya, as a child, ran around playing with what looked to be a younger version of Bakugo. "But for Izuku, it was different. It started out the same as everybody else, but when he turned 4 and was diagnosed quirkless, his viewpoint was forcefully changed."

It showed the boy sitting next to his mother as the doctor told them the news, showing the X-rays to prove it. That didn't make sense; Midoriya has a quirk.

"But I thought he had a quirk?" Hawks said, voicing the question out loud.

They received no explanation, though, the new voice carrying on, "Izuku didn't have a quirk, but that didn't make them any less interesting. Three months after his birthday, he picked up his first notebook. Recounting a villain attack earlier in the day that he couldn't get out of his mind, he began writing down his thoughts."

Midoriya was lying on his stomach in his bed, feet kicking behind him as he scribbled down unreadable words in a notebook. It was pretty cute, honestly.
