Lab Rat

6. A Cat?

Izuku's Pov:

'Ugh who is shaking me? I felt a hand on my shoulder...wait why does my shoulder feel like that? ' My eyes snapped open to see ...paws? I have paws! I tumble backwards onto my back and notice that I'm not alone. There's a total of five people in the room and their all staring at me. Three of which I recognized as my family. The other two are a strange bear, mouse, dog, thing and woman in casual clothing that seems friendly. I looked at myself and panic a bit. I look like some kind of animal. Aizawa and the woman get in defensive stances, which kind of hurt... Then Toshi just walked up to me and pick me up, holding me like a house cat. All be it a cat the size of a cheetah. This seemed to take everyone by surprised. As if they expected me to be violent.

Toshi set me back on the couch and sat next to me. My clothes were huge on me, and some had already fell off.
I tried to ask what happened, but it came out as a*chirp*and *meow*.
'Ugh, why does stupid stuff have to happen to me?' I thought. Luckily for me the bear, mouse, dog... chimera understood me.
"Hello Izuku, I am Nezu, also known as the principal of UA, and this is midnight, "he said pointing at the kind looking lady slightly behind him. 

'I wonder if he understands me like this.' I though thinking it was worth a shot.

"*chirp* (by any chance can you understand me?)" I asked praying he would answer. My prayers were answered as the chimera spoke.

"Yes, I can understand you clearly " Nezu responded. The others in the room quickly dropped out of their defensive stances and took seats.

"*meow-chirp*(what happened and why is everyone so defensive?)" I asked 

" I was just about to ask you what happened, but it seemed I may need to adjust my question, but first I will answer yours. You see we weren't shore whether or not you would have control once you awakened, as for what happened all I know is what I've been told by your guardians here." he responded smoothly. The others just looked at us confused, like we had suddenly turned bright pink.

"*chirp*(why are they looking at us like that?)" I asked with almost a hint of a hiss, I didn't like being stared at for some reason.  

"Probably because I am meowing back to you and they don't know what is going on" he said this time with a grin, as if he enjoyed the confusion of the heroes. Toshi grabbed some popcorn and started watching the hero's reaction. He was clearly enjoying the ciaos around him. 

"Now Izuku, as much as i love the disorder of this situation, do you think you can change back?" he asked

" *chirp mew meow*(I think so, I kind of remember the feeling so maybe, but there is a slight problem)" I said looking down. I one hundred present wanted pants on BEFORE I started to turn back. Nezu got the hint and instructed Toshi to hold my pants open as I stepped into them. I focused on the feeling that I felt when my ears retracted at the library. I felt myself grow larger and my poster straighten until I finally felt the fur disappear, the ears lingered though.

"Now can you explain your side for all of us to hear?" Nezu asked. With a sigh I explained how I had suddenly got tired and started to fall asleep after having my ears scratched. And how we discovered that we were being recorded. which pecked the interest of midnight, who eminently wanted to see the video. 

Mic screen shared the video to the tv, I watched in embarrassment as Toshi was seen scratching my ears and I clearly enjoying it, leaned into his touch. Then The video caught Nezu's attention when My ears pined themselves back and a small amount of fur started to spread. Nezu quickly put together that my transformation was triggered by a quick change in emotion. Aizawa seemed pleased with this explanation. I was just glad that the situation was coming to a close.

I was no longer paying any attention to the adults though, Toshi had started playing a movie called' How To Train Your Dragon'.

 Looks like we were still having that movie night after all.
