Powerless - A My Hero Academia/ DC Crossover

Chapter 13: The USJ

"Today's training will be a little different."

Aizawa stood before the class, his usual sardonic voice droning over the hushed class. "You'll have three instructors," He continued. "Me, All Might, and another faculty member will be keeping tabs on you." The students all murmured to each other. Three pros? Izuku thought. Is that because of the break in?

A few days ago, the school had been in uproar when the intruder alarm sounded suddenly during the lunch hour. The students had panicked and ran amok as the building was stormed by story-hungry reporters all chomping at the bit for a chance to interview the Symbol of Peace turned UA Teacher, All Might.

The reporters were repelled and order was soon restored to the school, but the fact that they were able to get through UA's security system was a frightening thought. Though the teachers had tried to maintain that everything was status quo, it had not escaped Izuku's notice that security measures seemed to increase around the school.

"Sir!" Sero raised his hand suddenly. "What kind of training is this?"

"Rescue," Responded Aizawa, holding up a large card with the word "RESCUE" embossed in blue bold across it. "You'll be dealing with natural disasters, shipwrecks, stuff like that."

"Disasters, huh?" Said Kiminari smiling nervously. "Sounds like we're in for a big workout."

"Real hero stuff," Said Kirishima. "This is what separates the men from the boys!"

Aizawa activated the costume lockers. "This special training is at an off-campus facility," he said. "So we'll be taking a bus to get there. That's all. Start getting ready."

The students all clambered around the lockers to get their costumes and equipment. Izuku got up to join them. Bruce had trained him extensively on search and rescue and disaster training at the warehouse. He had already demonstrated his prowess in combat, so they all knew he could fight.

Izuku gritted his teeth. All Might was going to be there. Another chance to show the false idol that he not only deserved to be there, but was well on his way to surpass him.

"The bus' open layout completely ruined my boarding strategy," Said Iida sullenly.

"Iida, you really need to chill," Said Mina cheerfully.

The bus jostled slightly as they made their way to their destination. All the students were chatting excitedly. "If we're pointing out the obvious," Said Asui suddenly. "Then there's something I want to say about you." She turned to Izuku.

"Me?" He said. "What about me, Asui?"

"I told you to call me Tsu."

"Sorry."

"You took down arguably three of our strongest classmates almost single-handedly," She said bluntly. "It's not surprising considering you were trained by Batman. I'm actually pretty interested to see how you perform during this exercise. How long have you been his student?

"Eleven Months," Said Izuku.

"No way!" Shouted Kirishima. "You learned all that in eleven months?! What was his training like?"

"Well," Izuku began, but was interrupted by Tsuyu.

"It seems you like to use a lot of explosives," she said. "Do you have any reason why?"

Izuku went silent, averting Tsu's eyes. "Someone I. . . admired," Izuku said finally. "It was his quirk. Explosions."

"Really?" Asked Uraraka, interested. "Sounds dangerous."
