Stuck Between Realities-Remastered

Part 29~Going Back to School

Izuku grinned as he caught up with Todoroki, seeing Endeavour staring down at him. "Whelp, it's been fun. Sorry about being stuck in the hospital for most of it." Endeavour grunted as Todoroki avoided his gaze. "You two get in another fight? Maybe I should call Emiko again."

Todoroki grabbed Izuku's arm, making him stop. "Let's go."

Izuku shrugged, following after Todoroki without a second thought. As they approached the train, Izuku finally broke the silence. "Want to talk about it?"

"No."

"Suit yourself. I don't think I really learnt anything from this internship. After all that convincing I did to get Endeavour to take me on, I thought at the least I would learn something. Pretty disappointing."

"You didn't learn anything?"

"You learnt something?" Todoroki glanced at Izuku as he paused. "What?"

"It's nothing. The train is almost here."

Izuku hummed. "You know, you didn't have to walk with me. I am more than capable of handling myself."

"I know."

Izuku huffed. "You're not much of a conversationist, you know." Izuku took a deep breath as the train pulled up. "Well, I guess this is goodbye- until class starts again. Call me if you need me." Izuku gave Todoroki a wave before walking on the train. "If you ever need to avoid your dad for a day, we have a permanent extra bed in our home. You'll have to deal with Emiko, but no deal is perfect."

The doors shut, cutting off any response Todoroki might have given.

"Morning, Kacchan," Izuku laughed as he spotted Katsuki walking in. Somehow, a week with Best Jeanist calmed his spiky hair. "Want me to fix that?"

Katsuki grumbled under his breath. "I can't make it normal."

Izuku poked one of the stands in awe. "Wow. That stuff's stuck stiffer than Present Mic hero hair. You better not show him, or he'll beg you to do his hair." Izuku chuckled to himself, laying his head on his arms.

Around them, other students were comparing weeks. Tsu got to fight some smugglers, and Jiro helped evacuate some hostages.

The biggest surprise was Uraraka, who looked a little possessed, showing off her fighting skills much to the other girl's terror.

"That's a huge change for just one week," Kaminari muttered. "Though I don't think she's even the one who changed the most or at least went through the most; they were you a lot, right?" Kaminari pointed at Todoroki, Iida, and Yaoyorozu, who all looked confused.

"Oh yeah, the hero killer," Sero announced as Izuku frowned.

"Hey, why am I being excluded."

"You're used to being attacked," Hitoshi rudely interrupted as Izuku opened and closed his mouth.

"Actually, that's fair."

"I'm glad you guys made it out alive, seriously," Kirishima shouted as Izuku snorted.

"Of course they did. That's our class pres's you're talking about- oh, and Todoroki." Izuku grinned as Todoroki gave him a look.

"It wasn't like you lasted much longer than the rest of us."

"Details. Details."

"Guess this means you two are friends now," Hitoshi muttered as Izuku grinned.

"What? Jealous of my social skills."

"What skills?"

Izuku kicked him.

"Anyway, I saw it on the news that the hero killer was connected to the League of Villains. Imagining someone that scary coming to the USJ freaks me out," Ojiro muttered as Izuku frowned.
