"Watching Eyes."

Midoriya and Todoroki walk together after school, not much was exchanged between to the two hostiles, but there seemed to be a muted agreement between them. Todoroki wanted to figure Izuku out, Izuku wanted to figure Todoroki out. That's what brought the two together.

They were walking towards Midoriya's temporary home, he hoped, and as they arrived at the apartment, they turn to each other.
"I suppose I'll see you at school tomorrow." Todoroki responds, looking at the shorter student as he looks up at Shoto.
"Yes, I suppose you will." Izuku holds out his hand, Todoroki takes it, there seemed to be an interesting calm, and the tension faded slightly.

Midoriya breaks the shake, he steps back, turns around, and heads down the rest of the road towards his house. Todoroki turns around, and that's when a figure jumped from the roof to intercept Midoriya.
A muffled gasp made Todoroki turn, but nothing was there, the streets were empty.
He narrowed his eyes, and continued along his way, back to his own house.

...

"Dad — dad stop!" Midoriya shakes the dark figure from him, pushing him back off of him.
"Son, why were you walking with — with that?" He hissed, gesturing to where they just were.

"So what if I was, there's something off about him, I want to know what it is." Izuku snaps back, casing Taisei to glare at him.
A hand comes down to meet Izuku's face, he falls to the side, holding his cheek that was now starting to become red.

"I will not warn you again, you cannot form friendships in this school, it's too dangerous." His father calmly looks down on him, his powerful slap had Izuku cowering under him, which pleased the older male as he watched his son nod in submission.
"I will see you at the League tonight, I leave soon." With that, the dark cloaked figure left the small street they were in, and disappeared into the rapidly approaching night.

...

Midoriya enters the bar through Kurogiri's black mist, he looks at the assembled figures before him, they were staring at Izuku like he had completely betrayed them.

"I have a plan." He snarled, taking a seat by the bar. Tomura scoffed, this kid never gave up, did he?
"Well, let's hear it."
"All Might is going to be at the USJ in a few days, maybe, with the help of many other League Members, we can ruin their party and take down All Might once and for all! We can even use the Nomu's you so desperately want to use." Izuku sits back, watching their expressions. Shigaraki seems...impressed?

Their burning desires to take down All Might overtook their need to create a better strategy, the Villains instantly agreed to aid Izuku in this plan, but in one condition, Izuku couldn't fight, he had to maintain a secret cover in case things went downhill. After all, Todoroki had his suspicions, and the teachers seemed to catch on to his solitude demeanour. If things did go down hill, Izuku had to gain his reputation by at least helping the other students.

...

"So here, here is the USJ. Over there is where we will meet Thirteen." The students all gather around Aizawa, strange things happened along the way here, the Media has tried to break into the school to get reports on All Might, and the class had picked a Class Rep, who started off with Midoriya, but he handed his role over to Iida, he couldn't risk anyone wanting to close to him.

Izuku had come across Bakugou along the way, the blonde didn't dare look at him, which, in hindsight, probably should have concerned Midoriya more.
