Assassin's Feline Passion

The Creed

Izuku, Hisashi, Tsutsumi, and Hagakure made it back to UA. Hagakure had been asking questions the entire trip back. They entered the Bureau and made their way to a small study, inside were Inko, Aizawa, Jirou, Nezu, and Tomoko. Izuku entered first and was immediately charged at with a hug from his mother.

Inko: "Izuku! My baby, you're okay! You're not hurt, are you?"

Izuku chuckled and hugged her back.

Izuku: "I'm fine mom."

She stepped back and wiped tears from her eyes, the Tomoko stepped over and gave him and even tighter hug.

Tomoko: "You kept your promise. You came back."

Izuku: "I always will."

They then shared a kiss, then Aizawa spoke up.

Aizawa: "Anyone care to explain why Hagakure is down here?"

Tsutsumi gestured to Hisashi.

Tsutsumi: "Dumbass here let it slip that the Templars exist."

Izuku: "Right. Nagant, give her the basic run down and the choice. Come to me with her answer later."

The woman nodded and left the room with Hagakure. Jirou walked over to Izuku and held out a bundle to him.

Jirou: "These are yours."

Izuku took the bundle and opened it, revealing it to be his Hidden Blades. Izuku smirked and slipped them on.

Izuku: "Thank you Jirou. For keeping these safe, and your performance on your first field mission, I proclaim you worthy of your own Hidden Blade."

Jirou: "Blade? I thought they came in pairs."

Izuku: "You are still inexperienced. You must earn your second blade as well as any variations you may want. You will get them soon. Please leave, there is work I need to do."

She nodded and left the room. He turned to his mother.

Izuku: "I figured you'd be against me continuing this."

Inko: "Ordinarily, I would be. But the Templars have had control for far too long, it's about time someone fought back. That and you're too much like your father."

The mentioned man coughed and stepped forward.

Hisashi: "Izuku, I understand if you're angry over us not telling you we were Templars, bu-"

Izuku held up his hand.

Izuku: "I didn't know they existed until a few months ago and neither of you knew I was fighting them. There w as no reason for me to find out until now."

Hisashi smiled.

Hisashi: "Well then. What's next Mentor?"

Izuku looked shocked.

Izuku: "You're joining us?"

Hisashi shrugged.

Hisashi: "Yeah. Not like they'd let me live for long, especially since my betrayal. That, and you're mother's right, someone needs to fight back."

Izuku smiled and nodded. He hugged his father before walking over and behind the desk. He cleared the center and placed down a notebook.

Izuku: "During my time in the Animus, I was able to think, a lot."

He quickly began to write in the note book.

Aizawa: "What are you writing?"

Izuku: "Something that came to me while within the Animus. Something born from witnessing the cruelty that Templars are capable of."

After a few more seconds he set down his pen and looked over his writing.

Izuku: "Yes, this'll do."

He picked the book up.

Izuku: "We are an organization without guidance. We need a code. One that restricts us. Without restrictions, we could easily turn cruel like the Templars in just a few generations."

Nezu: "Like a creed of sorts."

Izuku: "Yes, a creed. Ours shall have three tenets. The first, stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent. We shall not harm those we protect."

He recieved nods from the others.

Izuku: "The second, hide in plain sight. We must be invisible to our enemies until we strike."

More nods.

Izuku: "The last, never compromise the order. One slip-up and we're done for. If we are compromised, we may not recover."

One last round of nods.

Nezu: "This is good, but we need a way to ensure no betrayals. A sign of loyalty."

Tomoko: "I have an idea. Izuku, didn't you need to remove your ring finger to use the blade?"

Izuku: "Yeah, but I modified them to not need the sacrifice."

Tomoko: "It may be cruel, but we could brand or tattoo future recruits."

Aizawa: "Brands are more permanent than tattoos, and more expensive to fix as well as easier to hide."

Izuku out the book down and began to write some more.

Izuku: "A ring finger branding to prove loyalty. That'll do. Nezu."

Nezu: "Yes?"

Izuku: "We need more Bureaus, all across Japan. Preferably under different names."

Hisashi: "How will we communicate with them? Everything is tracked by the enemy, any cellular activity from us would be found out and tracked down immediately."

???: "I believe I can help with that."

Everyone looked to the door to see the skeletal form of All Might.

Izuku: "I'll ask how you know later. How can you help?"

All Might: "Let's just say, I know a couple really smart people who would want to help."
