Izuku doesn't know how he got here. The last thing he remembers is going to sleep in his room after his mom had let him watch his favorite All Might video. But now, Izuku is staring at a group of teenagers who all look shocked in a place he doesn't recognize, and there's another little boy with him as well.

The other boy is terrified, shaking and staring in fear at the others around them, and Izuku feels a surge of protectiveness. He doesn't know what's going on, but if he's going to be a hero like All Might, then he's going to protect this boy. "Todoroki, Midoriya," one of the big kids says, making them both stiffen. How did these strangers know their names?

Izuku turns to the other little boy, who is trembling even harder now. He has really cool hair, red on one side and white on the other, and his eyes are two different colors. He looks about Izuku's age, so Izuku figures they can be friends. He reaches over to take the other boy's hand, squeezing it to reassure him.

"Who are you?" Izuku asks the older kids, his voice wavering with fear despite his conviction, "How did we get here? How do you know my name?"

Izuku wonders if 'Todoroki' is the other little boy with him. He decides it doesn't matter right now, as long as the other boy is safe.

Some of the big kids exchange nervous looks before a girl with brown hair kneels down in front of them, looking gentle and kind. Izuku relaxes a fraction.

"My name is Ochako," she says quietly, "You might not remember right now, but we're friends. It looks like a quirk made you two forget some important things. I promise, you're safe. You're at UA right now."

Izuku's eyes boggle out of his head. "UA? The hero school. Whoa, I have to tell Kacchan!"

There's some whispering at this and a tall, blonde boy with very familiar red eyes steps out from the back of the group, looking down at Izuku with folded arms. Izuku's mouth drops open.

"K-Kacchan?" he asks in awe, "How...you're so big?"

Kacchan kneels down, looking at Izuku with a sigh. "Deku, you always get yourself in the dumbest fucking situations. And you too, Todoroki."

The other boy gasps, hiding behind Izuku as he shakes with fear.

"It's okay, Todo-todo...roki," Izuku says, stumbling over Todoroki's name, "Kacchan looks scary, but he's really nice, I promise."

Todoroki doesn't say anything, just stays behind Izuku, their hands still clasped together.

"You can...call me Shouto," Shouto says very softly, so soft that no one but Izuku could hear. Izuku nods, turning to give Shouto a hug, pleased when the other boy relaxes into his arms.

"You're safe, Shouto," Izuku says firmly, "Mom says UA is a good school and the pro heroes that teach here are good. And Kacchan's the best, so we're alright."
