"Wow..."

"Wow is right, this looks awesome!" Kirishima exclaims, agreeing with me.

"Of course it is! Our school is one of the best, it's like the UA of Canada." Ellie boasts, grinning.

"If your done staring in awe, can we start a race? We can do two at a time." Kara says.

"Sure! Hey Bakubro, wanna go first?!" Kiri asks, jumping over to Kacchan.

"Fine, and I said not to call me that!" Kacchan growls at him.

"Starting line is over there." The boy who was in Uraraka and Kirishima's group, Aljo Far I think his name is, points at the starting line.

"Hey Pearl! Wanna go next?" Asera Callen, the girl who is apparently Pearl's girlfriend, smiles at Pearl.

"Alright." Pearl says quietly, nodding. 

The first race starts, and Kacchan takes off with Kirishima behind him.

I watch the race. 

"Midoriya, right?" I turn, and see Pearl, "Can I speak with you?" 

"H-Huh? About w-what?" I ask nervously, more nervously then normal. 

Okay, I'll admit it, Pearl kind of unnerves me. The whole 'seeing people's worst fear' bothers me, even if she doesn't tell anyone, it makes me nervous.

Especially when I know exactly what she saw, when seeing my fear...

"...your fear." 

Just two words, and I freeze. 

My head lowers.

"Alright... privately though." I say. She nods, and we go behind one of the corners. 

"Who knows? Besides Bakugo." She asks.

"...Mr Aizawa, Recovery Girl, our school nurse, and now you... and Ellie I guess." 

"I haven't told Ellie, there are some things I don't even tell her without permission, this is one of them." Pearl says, I blink in confusion, but nod.

"Look, I don't normally confront people about their fears, but this is serious. Your being domestically abused, because you refuse to believe your adopted parents don't love you in some way. This needs to be taken care of-"

"I know that!" I exclaim, interrupting her, "I know I have to do something about it, but what do you expect me to do?! I don't have any solid proof!" 

"You have Bakugo as a witness, and the scars." She says.

"That's not enough! The scars could be anything, from a villain to an accident! And Kacchan is only one person, it's not enough!" I argue.

"You have me now. That's two witnesses." She says.

"...it still isn't enough..." I sigh, "besides, we're only kids, and my adoptive parents... can be very persuasive." 

"Mm..." she nods, and leans against the wall, crossing her arms, "well-"

Pearl is cut off by my phone ringing. It's my adopted mother...

I quickly answer it, "H-hey..."

"We just arrived in Canada and checked into the same hotel as you and your class."

...

WHAT?!

"Don't yell, and yes. We decided it isn't fitting for our brat of a son to stay with his classmates on his own."

"Y-you, no! You can't!" I exclaim.

"Excuse me?" Her voice is deathly quiet. I gulp.

"Midoriya, who is it? What's wrong?" Pearl asks, sounding concerned.

"Y-you can't hurt me, my classmates would hear it. Kacchan would hear it." I say, my voice shaking.

"You don't have to make noise while we hit you Brat."  She snarls, "I want to see you when you get back from that wretched school." 

Then she hangs up. 

I lower my phone, and drop it.

Pearl catches it, "Tanya Vettel. Was that your adopted mother?" 

I nod shakily, "they just checked into our hotel..." 

She exhales, and nods, patting my back.

"Go talk to Bakugo, I know you care about him, and he cares about you."  

I now numbly, walking out of the corner, as she follows behind me.

"There you are! We were wondering where you went!" Uraraka exclaims, I quickly force my usual smile.

"We were just talking! Don't worry!" I tell her.

"DEKU!" I turn and yelp as Kacchan runs towards me.

"K-Kacchan! Hi!" I exclaim nervously. Kacchan grabs me by the back of my shirt, and drags me away. Once we're away from everyone, he let's go and sighs.

"Where the hell were you?! I finished the race with Shitty Hair, and you and the raven brat were gone!" He exclaims. I let out a breath of relief, that he wasn't really mad.

"She just wanted to talk about... my fear... She saw my parents..." I explain, "and... speaking if... Tanya called me..." my voice gets quieter, "they've checked into the hotel our class is staying in..."

Kacchan's eyes widen, and then narrow.

"I swear to god if they get within ten feet of you during this trip I will blow their asses to hell..." he growls, before helping me stand.

"Kacchan no..." I say, he rolls his eyes at me.

"Come on, the others are probably waiting..." he grumbles, as we walk back. He let's go of my hand once we're there.

After everyone had gone through the course twice, it was time to go.

We said goodbye, and our group headed back to our hotel.

Of course, Tanya was waiting right outside the hotel.

"Oh! Izuku! There you are!" She exclaims, faking worry.

"Hey... Mom..." I manage out.

"Are you Midoriya's mother?" Todoroki asks her, tilting his head.

"Why yes I AM! Are you one if his friends? What are your names?" She turns to the others.

"Tch, come on Shitty Hair." Bakugo grabs Kirishima, and drags him away.

"Uh, Mom!" I exclaim before the others can answer, "we have to go check in with Mr Aizawa! So, see you later!" I quickly drag the rest of my friends away from her.

The last thing I need is for them to start liking her...
