I stand beside Midoriya as we face an extremely agitated crowd of citizens, the crowd standing between us and the school building as rain continues to coat our already soaked clothing. The crowd having the luxury of umbrellas. "DONT LET HIM IN!", "YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MINDS!" And other protesting shouts arise from the crowd.
"THERES NO WAY WE'LL ACCEPT YOU LETTING HIM IN!! HE'LL KILL US ALL!" A man at the front of the crowd yells and I grit my teeth as I stomp towards him, "Are you fucking serious? You keep that shit up and I'll kill you myself" I seethe as the man visibly backs away, Bakugo pulling me back, "You fucking watch your mouth" I call out as I get dragged away, Bakugo desperately trying to cover my mouth.
"You are not helping. Bakugo, keep her tamed. I'll try to convince them." Best Jeanist says as he pushes past the two of us, attempting to calm the raging crowd, only to be stopped when a man steps forward, "Are you kidding me? You losers failed and turned Japan into a lawless country. And now that you've screwed everything up, you want us to pay the price for it-" he starts before I rip myself from Bakugo's hold.
"You're paying the price for it??? Really? Take a long hard look at Zuku. He's sixteen and hasn't slept in weeks to protect you people. And you're paying the price for it????" I scold as I walk towards the man, "What have you done to make Japan better? I wanna hear it. Because without heroes it would be purely villains, we are trying, we fucked up and we are trying to resolve the issue. Heroes died for you for Japan, but we want you to suffer? Use your fucking head." I continue as the man stops.
"Myself as well as every other hero could've called quits after we lost, moved out of the country in hopes of saving ourselves. But we stayed, we stayed without having to. We aren't making any money, we aren't collecting fame, we are simply trying to help you and in order for us to do that you need to let us do our jobs." I finish before looking over the crowd, "If you're all too selfish to help a child in need of shelter than you're no better than villains and it's embarrassing that a child has to be the one to tell you that." I scowl.
"YOU'RE CRAZY!!" The man shouts at me and I sigh, the crowd slowly siding with him, Ochaco quickly snatches the loud speaker from Mic, using her quirk to boost herself onto the roof of the school building. She inhales deeply before speaking through the mic, "Izuku Midoriya, has a very important power-" she starts before being cut off, "SO WHAT? THAT JUST MAKES HIM EVEN MORE DANGEROUS! HE'LL GET US ALL KILLED JUST BECAUSE HE WANTS TO TAKE A NAP!" a man shouts. I turn to Sero with a pissed off look, "Tape him." I say and the boy complies, taping over the mans mouth, "Let her finish." I scold, giving Ochaco an encouraging nod.
"You're wrong! He left UA because he doesn't want to cause trouble for anybody! We're the ones who made him come back! His ability is special, a power created to defeat All for One! That's why the villains are after him! Why he's been fighting this whole time! And he's been doing it alone! He left to protect every one of us, but I want you to look at him now! He wants to change our situation more than anybody, and he's put himself in harms way to do it. Do you see what that's done to him?" She pleads with the crowd as they all look over at the ragged boy.
"Just because someone has a special power, that doesn't mean they're a special person!" She exclaims, a hybrid woman in the crowd recognising him and sharing her story on how he saved her. The man from before ripped the tape from his mouth, "We looked at him, you happy now? You want us to get beat up like that too?" he asks before turning back to Ochaco, "YOU WANNA SEE US BROKEN DOWN AND COVERED IN MUD?!" he yells and I go to step in, only to stop when I hear Ochaco inhale sharply.
"THE HEROES ARE THE ONES WHO ARE GETTING DIRTY!! THEY'RE THE PEOPLE WHO'LL HAVE TO WASH AWAY THE STAIN!" She yells back, Midoriya beginning to tear up as he watches her, "I wish I could reassure everyone here, but I cant. And I'm sorry about that! I really am! The truth is, we're all scared! We're just like you! We care about our friends and neighbours too! So please! Lend him your support! Help him fight for us!" She calls out over the crowd as everyone's faces soften.
"Search your hearts! Will you allow him to rest at your side? Will you give him time to prepare for his battle to protect you? Izuku Midoriya is carrying the burden of his power and trying to keep us safe! But he still has a lot to learn! He's just a kid!" She continues, the man from before going to cut her off before she yells out, "IM BEGGING YOU! LET UA CONTINUE TO BE HIS HERO ACADEMY!"
Midoriya falls to his knees in a sob and I'm the first to run up to him, sliding down on the floor as I hold onto him, Kota and the hybrid woman following as we all hold onto the crying boy. "Mr Deku, I'm so sorry! I was too scared to say anything before- but that girl is trying so hard to get you to stay and I knew I had to do something- because- I wanna be like you! And that's why im here, so you dont have to cry anymore! Everything will be okay!" Kota says through sobs.
The hybrid woman than stands, helping Midoriya to his feet, "I take it you're a UA student?" she asks and Midoriya replies with a short, 'yeah'. "A bunch of the shelters turned me away, they said they weren't letting any heteromorphs inside. UA was the only refuge that would welcome me, but y'know, I got to see you again, so im happy. Thanks for what you did back then, cry baby hero." She says softly, pulling Midoriya into another hug.
A man from the crowd steps up and defends the heroes, preaching our mission to the rest of the crowd, slowly gaining support from everyone, allowing a calm to pass over the storm. "Lets get you inside" I mutter softly to Midoriya, making my way through the crowd and sending an especially dirty look towards the man who I had Sero tape earlier, eventually passing through and getting Midoriya to the dorms.
"You go bathe and change. I'll make you some food. Katsudon good?" I ask, the boy nodding as I turn towards the kitchen, I hear his footsteps recede before coming to a stop a few metres away, "...Thank you." he mutters softly and I turn away from my cooking to face him, "For what?" I ask, confused.
"You were the first one to step up for me or towards me in the past two weeks."
