Bow down to the king and queen

Here We Go!

Katsuki was seething in the back of the police cruiser, his anger spilling over as he argued and cursed about the ridiculousness of their situation. "This is total bullshit! We just saved everyone, and now we’re getting treated like criminals!" he shouted, his frustration palpable.

Izuku, sitting next to him, tried to calm him down despite feeling nervous himself. "Kacchan, I know it feels unfair, but we have to keep our cool. The rules are there for a reason," he said, attempting to offer some logic to the chaos.

The officer driving the cruiser glanced back at them, his expression serious but understanding. "Look, I get it. What you did was brave, and I don’t personally think it was wrong. But as a police officer, it’s my job to enforce the law. Using your quirks in public, even in self-defense, is illegal. We have to prioritize the safety of everyone, you know?"

Katsuki huffed in response, still glaring out the window, while Izuku nodded, taking in the officer's words.

When they arrived at the station, they were led into a small room to fill out paperwork while their parents were contacted. The atmosphere was tense, with Katsuki still fuming and Izuku nervously tapping his foot.

After a short wait, their parents arrived, concern evident on their faces. The officer explained the situation and the minor consequences they faced. The punishment was essentially a slap on the wrist; all they needed to do was have their parents sign some forms and pay a small fine, and they would be free to go.

Katsuki's mother signed the paperwork with a sigh, and Katsuki muttered under his breath, "This is so stupid..."

Izuku glanced over, trying to lighten the mood. "At least we’re okay, right? We helped everyone. That’s what’s important."

With a slight smirk despite his irritation, Katsuki replied, "Yeah, yeah... but next time, things will be different because we will be real heroes."

Izuku chuckled, feeling a sense of relief that their friendship remained strong even through the chaos that had just unfolded earlier that day.

The next day was Saturday, thankfully, which meant everyone could decompress and relax a little after what had happened yesterday.

Katsuki was banging on the Midoriya household's door. "Hurry it up in there! Deku, wake up already! It's time to train!" he yelled, his voice echoing down the street.

"Coming!" answered Izuku nervously as he rushed out the door, holding two carrier bags—one yellow and the other blue. Both of them were wearing runner tracksuits with matching jackets in their human forms.

"Sorry! It's just that my alarm didn't go off, and I rushed—" the greenette started rambling as usual, but Katsuki quickly put a stop to it before it could begin.

"Yeah, I know! Let's just go already! We're burning daylight we could be using to train more!" Katsuki said in his usual gruff tone as he took the blue bag.

The two waved goodbye to Inko as she handed them two bento lunch boxes before they left.

"So, what should we try next?" asked Izuku excitedly, starting to write down ideas for possible exercises to do in today’s training.

Before Katsuki could answer, large arms grabbed them both and jumped far away to an empty rooftop.

"Why do I get a sense of déjà vu?" asked the moth boy to no one in particular as he looked up to see that it was indeed All Might in all his glory.

Izuku glanced to the side and saw that Katsuki was frozen in shock, just like he had been yesterday. Gently, he shook him by the shoulder, knocking him back to reality. Katsuki then spoke in his typical loud and brash voice.
