Deku stood perfectly still, for he was not told to move.
He stood still even as the building was flooded with heroes. Never moving as villains fled and were captured.
He was still because he was the best, most obedient Noumu, and he was not told to move from this spot. So he would stay here until he was told otherwise.
"We got a kid in here!" One hero shouted.
Deku simply blinked. There was a human child in the building? He had not been aware of this. Children were liabilities, he was told.
If he had known, he would've killed it. Shigaraki would've liked that.
Suddenly, his arm was seized. Deku turned his head, looking up, because this hero was very tall and very muscular. It reminded him of Noumu-Noumu.
"Hey, kid, can you understand me?"
Deku nodded once, only because it was a direct question.
The man already had a smile, but Deku liked to think it became more pronounced. "Good. Can you move?"
Deku tilted his head in confusion. Was this a trick question? He supposed he could move, in technical terms. But he has not been told to move, so no. He could not.
Deku shook his head.
The man cursed and scooped Deku up into his arms. Deku was beginning to think he would be in a permanent state of confusion for the rest of his life as he was carted out of the building.
The man started talking to other heroes, saying something about DNA tests and missing child posters.
Deku didn't know what to do. The command to stay still was beginning to sound silly as all this stuff happened around him. And yet no one had given him more orders.
He was jostled this way and that until he found himself seated on a stiff mattress in a white room. People in white coats were talking about someone.
"We have to contact Ms. Midoriya. She'll be so relieved!"
"I don't think the boy is ready for that yet. He looks really lost."
They turned to him. "Excuse me, young man. Can you tell me your name?"
Finally, a command that didn't require him to stay silent and still. "Noumu number 27: Deku." He responded with appropriate enthusiasm.
The people were quiet.
