~BNHA~ Everything That I Am

Chapter 26

When they enter the school, Izuku notices how similar it was to the hospital and yet completely different.

There were stations for different volunteers and as well as supplies for civilians in the lobby being tended to, but there was a more structured organization on the layout. The volunteers all looked to be students of the school with a few of the heroes that had joined the school during the attacks.

Aizawa passed through most of the areas as he pointed out the direction of the cafeteria, volunteer center, training grounds and even classes that were being held for all ages.

"Everyone is required to contribute, so either you can train to be a hero to help in a specific field or you can volunteer indoors for general maintenance of the school. We have classes for different topics, but since most of you are minors, you're welcome to take normal school classes." Aizawa said.

He wasn't much for small chatter, most of his explanation was simple and to the point as he walked through the halls of the school with Izuku's mom resting in his arms.

"We'll have your mom taken to the infirmary. Midoriya will come with me tell me about the hospital. Everyone else will be escorted to their assigned rooms." Aizawa said.

"No." Izuku said.

Katsuki's yell overlapped his no and even the others were shaking their head in a joined negative to Aizawa's suggestion.

The older man paused, turning to give Izuku and his group a pointed look. Izuku raised his palms up to show they weren't trying to be difficult.

"Please understand. We prefer not to be separated." Izuku said.

Izuku could tell things were being run completely different from the hospital, but they weren't sure how different and they had agreed no matter what, they couldn't take the risk of being separated so early on. Maybe once they settled into a routine and they were sure they were truly safe, but not now.

Aizawa turned back around and continued down the hallway without a second glance back at them.

"Alright then." Aizawa said.

They reached a room that had a sign above stating it was a faculty room. When they entered, Midnight stood next to another hero, waiting for them. A dark red poncho covered the other man, his hero's costume giving him away as Snipe.

Aizawa sat his mother down in the chair nearby and she smiled up at him, thanking him as the group crowded close by, with Izuku to her left as their spokesperson. The older man sighed as he scratched the back of his head while moving to stand next to the other two teachers.

"I guess introductions are in order. You already know me so just call me Mr. Aizawa or Eraserhead if you like." Aizawa said.

The other two took their turns to introduce themselves to the older woman starting with Aizawa had left off.

"just call me Midnight. You're free to come for questions." Midnight said.

"You can call me Snipe." Snipe said.

Izuku nodded, introducing everyone one by one as they greeted the three adults. It was an awkwardness in the room, like an interview where Izuku's group was being judged for every small shift in movement. Neither side quit trusting the other.

"Let's not waste time then. We want to know more about the hospital you spoke of. We've tried to make communication with other safe areas, but it hasn't been easy because of circumstances in the area." Aizawa said.

He didn't clarify on what these circumstances, Izuku left it be for now, but he considered talking it over with the others later. They needed to stay on guard until they were sure. Izuku glanced over to Hatsume to set up her equipment on the table. As she moved forward to prepare, Izuku explained what he could. From the day they had reached the hospital. He explained the political struggle of the heroes and the police force, but avoided saying anything about Chieko's situation.
