Sup, hope you guys like this update. This is the last chapter Izuku is referred to as Izumi so that's a fun time, because you guys have no idea how hard it was for me to write Izumi. I had to keep going back and changing ku to mi every few minutes. I also did this instead of studying for exams lol. Anyway, enjoy.

Izumi met Bakugou, Iida, Uraraka, and Shinsou in her second year of the summer camp. All four were in her class – the Advanced Hero Course. It wasn't essential to get into UA, but it was damn near it. She had met Bakugou before, though she didn't notice until they began to hang out a bit more. He was in her high school – another class. Uraraka and Iida were both from different districts to her.

One day, she noticed Bakugou's binder when his shirt became a bit displaced after training. "What's that?"

Bakugou yanked his shirt back into place. "None of your fucking business, nerd."

Izumi was used to that. Of course she was – it was how Bakugou reacted to everyone, even at school. So instead, she asked Uraraka and Iida after class – at a sports activity. It was a mix of soccer and frisbee, and though they all could have used the agility training, they were too tired, so they sat on the grass and talked. Bakugou and Shinsou had gone to do something else.

"Bakugou had a weird undershirt on today when we were training. It just looked really tight – do you know what it is?"

They both started. Then Iida pulled the neck of his t-shirt out to reveal a similar one. "Was it like this?"

Izumi nodded. "Yeah, but it was black instead of white."

Uraraka shook her head. "Damn it, he's not meant to wear his binder when he's training."

"Binder?" Izumi tilted her head.

"Bakugou's trans," Uraraka replied. "So are we. You knew that, right?"
