In Loving Memory

With All Due Respect Sir, Your Daughter is Fine

Sometime later, Tomura Shigaraki and the villains behind him walked through a portal into the USJ only to find... Nothing. The building was surprisingly empty. "They must be late," Shigaraki murmured. After an hour had passed, Shigaraki became increasingly more frustrated and jittery. He shouted in anger at the sky, and the doors of the USJ opened, revealing not students, but a host of heroes and All Might. The villains readied to fight, but the heroes rushed forward, capturing the villains with uncanny efficiency. This hadn't been an emergency team pulled together in a hurry, no, this had been planned. They had found out about the attack. Shigaraki just managed to escape, leaving nothing but the panicked yells of his allies in his wake.

He collapsed through the portal, lying on the floor for a moment or two. "Tomura, are you alright?" Kurogiri asked.

"How did they know?" Tomura hissed.

"It seems they had an informant," Said a voice nearby. Tomura looked up only to see a familiar figure sitting on the bar counter.

"Ugh. It's you again."

"I mean, we have an informant, don't we? Two, in fact. Me and that one other guy."

"You're hardly any help, anyway," Tomura grumbled, sitting up.

The figure's golden eyes flashed in amusement. "I have information."

"What?"

"In a few weeks, the U.A sports festival. I know all the postings for all the guards and when which event is. All Might is giving awards there. If you get into the audience, you have relatively easy access to the field with the right tools or quirks. I know your Decay would be rather useful. Besides, you can learn about the quirks of the U.A kids there."

"The sports festival?"

"You know, happens every year, some heroes in the audience, the works. Perfect place to kill All Might if you do it right. The thing is, you need to scare the heroes, and live television is the best place to do it. If you scare them, you can work on crumbling hero society from the inside out, even if you don't end up killing All Might. Plus, there's lots of suitable hostages."

"And how do you propose I do that?"

"Well, I mean, it might be hard. You just left behind all your allies, after all. But I think you should make an alliance. I know somebody."

Izuku left the U.A campus soon after school ended, arriving at the quirk assistance facility. He looked around as he passed through the doors and walls, looking for someone with the authority to go to Toga's home and tell her parents about the help she could get. He recognized one, a friend of his mom's who helped a friend of hers for years with the side effects of her fire quirk. He approached him slowly, and nervously stepped into the man's body. The man was much bigger than he was, and it took a moment of dizziness and getting used to being so tall before he was okay. It was easier this time than it had been with Sakura, but he still felt a bit sick.

"Suzuki, hey, how's it going?!" Another man walked into the room, clapping Izuku on the back, or rather clapping Suzuki on the back.

"Doing fine," he smiled, reciprocating the gesture with a pat on the other man's shoulder. "Hey, have you heard of the Toga family?"

"Toga, huh?" The man rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Yeah, I believe I do know them. Pretty well-off family, they have a daughter. I got a recommendation for assistance for them a while back, but haven't been able to file it or go interview the family."

"I was going to go do that, actually. I heard reports that the side effects of the daughter's quirk caused her to try and attack a kid. Anonymous tip, but it must be from the kid who was attacked."
