The Immortal Hero: Phoenix

Chapter 3: Road to U.A Part 1

The day had finally come. Five days after being rescued from the clutches of All for One, Izuka Midoriya was being discharged from Hospital alongside All-Might, and was preparing to deal with the press for the first time. The Bakugous, Gran Torino, Sir Nighteye, Agent Nest and All-Might's friend; Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi were all assembled in the Hospital Foyer, with the police keeping the Media from entering or blocking entry to the Hospital. The group had come to serve as an escort for the Midoriyas, so they could safely get home and begin packing their things for the move to Toshinori's home in Nabo Ward. Katsuki had been disappointed that the Midoriyas wouldn't be coming to live with them instead, but Toshinori had promised that he could come visit whenever he wanted and would key the Bakugous into the House's biometric security system. Moving vans had already been delivered to the Midoriyas apartment, and Government Cars were waiting outside to get the group to their destination.

Toshinori sighed as he watched the Media buzzing about. "We aren't going to get out of here easily. The Police are holding them back, but we still need to pass the Media to get to the cars."

Sir Nighteye pushed up his glasses; "The best result would be to speak to them a bit. Appeasing them and then appealing to their sense of sympathy should get us through the fastest."

"Do you think you can handle that, Sweetie?" Inko asked, looking to her daughter, whom was dressed in the clothes Eraserhead had bought her.

"I think I can do it. They're not scary like Hisashi or the Villains." Izuka said bravely. Ever since the encounter with her father, Izuka had well and truly cut the man from her life, not even calling him Father any more.

"Alright then. Before we go, here is what the official stories are; Izuka's Quirk is Fire and Healing, All-Might killed All for One and Izuka has accepted tutoring by Principal Nezu and is moving to a secure location to live safely. Under no circumstances is anyone to mention any detail of Project Phoenix, Izuka's true quirks or the location/residents of her new home. I also strongly urge you all not to mention anything about the incident with Hisashi Kintaro, or the U.A Recommendation; If asked then refuse to comment. Does everyone understand?" Nest asked.

Everyone nodded and the group left the Hospital, the Heroes flanking the group and Izuka kept safely in the centre of their little formation. Immediately, countless flashes of light and voices flooded Izuka's senses as every News Source in the country took pictures and asked questions. All-Might led the group to the edge of the press line and lifted Izuka onto his shoulders.

"Everyone! Please be calm; Young Miss Midoriya has graciously agreed to answer your questions. Please keep your words calm and respectful." Detective Tsukauchi shouted over the crowd.

The Press calmed down a bit and the pictures slowed down to only one every few minutes, but the questions still came, along with people shouting for her attention. Nest, Inko and the Pros had already begun answering questions, but most were for Izuka herself. Swallowing her nerves, she pointed to a lady reporter she recognised from her local news network.

"Miss Midoriya, can you comment on your abduction? Why were you targeted? What did the villains want?"

"Um, well I wasn't actually targeted. My friend was, and I got captured by mistake when I pushed him out of the way..." Izuka saw Katsuki look down ashamedly, "And the Villains wanted to steal strong quirks. I was a late bloomer, so they thought I was Quirkless, but my Quirk manifested to heal me when they hurt me." Izuka answered.
