Stuck Between Realities-Remastered

Part 3~Starting at UA

Izuku woke up slowly, taking time to pull his legs off the bed and take the drugs stashed on his table.

Nezu had put more time into developing better medicines and cures, but it did little in the end. It was better than nothing, but the attacks still came.

"Izuku, come on, you don't want to be late, do you?" Emiko grinned. She had grown up in the years since entering UA. She was taller, happier, and took a lighter step when she moved. "Ready to see all your hard work in action?"

Izuku grinned, jumping up and rushing forward. "We all worked together. Powerloader says he's never worked on something so necessarily complicated and large."

Emiko laughed. "Yes, I think I remember him screaming as he failed for the sixth time to understand what you and Nezu wanted of him. The class thought a villain had broken in."

Izuku giggled. "Powerloader lost his eyebrows."

"Yeah, he wasn't too happy about that."

Izuku waved as he walked back into the observation deck, Emiko standing behind him. "Good morning everyone!"

Aizawa grumbled something under his breath, avoiding the look the siblings were giving him as Present Mic waved back. "Hello, little listener."

"Morning Uncle Mic!" Izuku bounced up next to Present Mic, looking out of the window.

"You think your little buddy will do well?"

"Toshi will be fine. He's been studying with Uncle Shota and me. We made sure he was ready."

"Wow, I like your misplaced confidence." Present Mic pressed a button as the gates opened. The students stared in confusion as Present Mic waved to Izuku.

He grinned, turning on the mic. "Hey, what are you waiting for? There are no ready set gos in war."

The students turned around, struggling to find their feet as they rushed to the city.

"One year, someone's going to run before you guys tell them to," Emiko muttered.

"And in that year, we'll accuse them of cheating." Izuku grinned mischievously as Emiko slapped him. "Ow, Emiko! That was unnecessary."

"You're as bad as Charlie. Your friend is on screen." Emiko waved forward as Izuku shifted his gaze.

"Yes, Toshi! He actually listened to you," Izuku glanced at Aizawa as he huffed.

"He better have."

Shinso moved across the city, dodging the various students and using a broken pipe to take out everything he could.

"Ready to test the machine," Nezu laughed to himself as Izuku nodded excitedly. Nezu punched the button as the robot emerged.

"That's what you've been working on? Those things are taller than the buildings?" Emiko stared in shock as Izuku laughed to himself.

"Well, I promised you over complicated and unnecessarily big. It's actually really cool, it's made with a-" he couldn't finish when Emiko covered his mouth.

"Save your lecture for the Support Hero Students."

"Emiko's all brawn and no brains."

Emiko slapped him, giving him a dark look. "Don't think I'm above slapping you out of that window."

Izuku ignored his sister, focusing on the fight in the arena. "No way," he gasped as he watched a blond kid shoot out in front of the zero-pointer. His palms exploded, hitting the robot's back as Toshi used his pipe to dig a student out of the rubble.
