2nd Person POV

You walked in front of Ectoplasm, allowing him to shut the door behind you. Your anger disappeared as soon as it came. Soon, you and Ectoplasm were just walking down the halls. 

You were minding your own business when you heard Midoriya calling your name. You turned around. His eyes kept looking from you to Ectoplasm. 

Midoriya opened his mouth but nothing came out. He wanted answers to so many questions. He remembered your proclamation to the class about refusing to listen to the authorities any more. So he knew that you had gotten the teachers and Principal Nezu to give you something in return for your cooperation. 

Midoriya needed to know what that was. What if it had something to do with you and All Might? Nezu was one of the few people who knew about One for All. And before the USJ incident, you had managed to figure his Quirk out, too. What if you had managed to trick Nezu into giving you information on the Quirk, or even worse... on All Might himself?!

Nezu would never have gone with something that involved the welfare of a villain over his students. But what choice did he really have at this point?

And then there was your Quirk! What was it? Was it Silence or was it something that allowed you to change your appearance? Or was it neither?! 

He saw the way you had managed to control Bakugou back then. You had made him move in ways he didn't want to. You had complete control. 

And even before, when you were walking to the classroom with Bakugou, you had tricked him into letting out that Midoriya had been Quirkless. You had manipulated him. Though, Midoriya knew that Bakugou was smarter than that. Sure, he could get riled up at the smallest things but he would never have let that information go for a villain to hear that willingly. 

Midoriya knew that somehow you had forced him to say it. 

Midoriya had also heard your conversation with Bakugou after he had talked with Todoroki. You had done something that made Bakugou yell at you to give something back. And he watched in horror as Bakugou left, trying to fire something - anything - at the wall beside him... but nothing happened. No sparks, no explosions... NOTHING. 

And then it so happened to just reappear at the time of his Battle against Uraraka at the Battle Tournament?! It couldn't have been a coincidence. 

You were too much of a threat to be just walking about in the halls like you were earlier. And the worst part was that you seemed to know that you were powerful. You knew that none of these students and teachers had anything on you - and yet you were still smiling!

It was like looking at All Might through and evil, aging mirror. 

Midoriya parted his lips to speak and then found himself shutting it again. For some reason, he just couldn't bring myself to talk at all. There must have been more to what Midoriya alone had just witnessed.

But then Midoriya looked at Ectoplasm. He really caught sight of the Pro Hero and gazed at him. And that's when Midoriya realized that he had made the right decision to stay silent. 

"Nevermind." Midoriya muttered with a stuggle. Midoriya looked at the ground in frustration. How was he supposed to focus on the Sports Festival with his Quirk improving, Bakugou's Quirk malfunctioning, Todoroki's background and Glitch just walking free?

"You broke your fingers again." 

Midoriya lightly gasped for air. He didn't even realize that he wasn't breathing. Midoriya looked up to see Amaya looking at him with slight curiosity. "...What?" Midoriya let out softly.

"Your fingers." You said, gesturing to Midoriya's clenched fist. "They're broken again. You overused your Quirk."

Midoriya blinked, remembering what he came in this direction for. He was heading to Recovery Girl's temporary nurse's office. To think that her office back at U.A was where Glitch had figured out about his Quirk. 

He was caught off guard. Speechless, he could only look at her in response. Ectoplasm stayed silent, too, watching the scene unfold. 

You looked at Ectoplasm from the side of your eye before looking back at Midoriya. "Why do you always break something when you use your Quirk?" You asked innocently. "Lowkey kind of reckless."

Midoriya knew that if the Pro Hero wasn't here, you would have said something completely different. He still couldn't bring himself to talk, though.

You took a step forward, making Midoriya flinch. "...Do you like breaking your bones, Broccoli?" You asked. "You find pain amusing?"

"W-What? No! Of course not!" He blurted out in defense, finally finding his voice. "I just...." 

It's not like Midoriya could say why he broke his fingers. He couldn't just say that he didn't have full control over his Quirk to you. Though, really, what was there to hide? You obviously knew anyway.

Midoriya looked back at you. You only blinked, waiting for a response. In this way, you kind of reminded him of Todoroki. "I-It's nothing!" Midoriya finished.

"Midoriya... Why do you want to become a hero?" You asked, immediately changing the subject. "Is it because you just look up to All Might and think he's cool?"  

"...I do admire him." Midoriya uttered, completely forgetting about Ectoplasm for a moment. It was silent for a few seconds. Why would you want to know about something like that? Your current profession as a villain didn't really make you seem like the type of person who enjoyed learning about the admiring job of a hero.

With a blink of an eye, you were right in front of him, staring at his hand and the scars on it. 

Midoriya let out a mini gasp and took a step back. Ectoplasm took a step forward, ready to attack if necessary. Midoriya could've sworn he saw your eyes widen in delight. Oh yeah. You had done this to Kirishima, too, when you noticed a scar just above his eye.

"Lemme see your hand." You let out, extending your own.

Midoriya looked at you with wide eyes and without thinking, he brought his hand out for you to see. Ectoplasm walked up to the both of you. But you just... stared at it. At one point, you started tracing it, sending shivers down Midoriya spine. But this weird affair only lasted a minute before you let go of his hand carelessly without another word. 

"Those things are authentic." You mumbled, intrigued.

Midoriya brought his hand to his side and decided that now wasn't the time. Although it killed him, he would have to ask these questions another time. And so he sighed. "I'll... see you around." He said. 

And with that, Midoriya started walking down the hall, bumping into Endeavor along the way. 

Ectoplasm attached the handcuffs to your wrist and led you out of the building and back to U.A. The place was practically deserted but you didn't mind. After a minute, he brought you inside an empty classroom. Nothing and nobody was inside except you two. 

You took this moment to look around. "I will be supervising you in here." Ectoplasm said.

"What's your name?" You asked, deciding that Stick Legs wasn't a good nickname to go by. 

"I am Ectoplasm." He replied. 

You glared at him. "Why are we in a classroom?"  

"This was what was requested." He answered nonchalantly. 

"By who?" I swear if it's the rat-

"By Nezu." He replied. 

Cheating little bastard.
