Freedom (Deku x Reader)

Part 70

"Will you be alright Toshinori?" Aizawa asked. Him, All Might, and Nezu had already made it back to the school. Nezu went back to his office since work had piled up while he was away, all the students were sent back to their dorms after they all got bandaged up, and all the hero staff were around the campus, too tired to do anything. The blonde nodded sadly as they walked to Class 1-A's dorm.

"Yeah. I'm just thinking of how I'm going to tell the class about Y/n. It's not like I can keep it a secret. They wouldn't let me anyways." He mumbled.

"Well, I suggest you  don't announce it to the class directly. You tell the whole school. Better yet, the whole world." All Might looked at Aizawa with wide eyes. "I'm just saying, if the world knows what she has done, it would not only ease down her bad publicity, it will make her a bigger role model to other people out of the school, and a hero in the eyes of the people."

"Yeah, but news helicopters were at the beach with us, it will be bad when they know that The League of Villains had control of her."

"That's the thing. Before I went to the facility with you guys for Y/n, I watched the news and saw that the news only arrived after your fight with her. They first saw Tsu bringing her out of the ocean, and then Y/n acting like a real pro hero, fighting the League and saving civilians, with only one arm. This is a major play in our favor. You have to do this."

He managed to persuade the hero and they headed to the school building instead. "All right, but we have to ask the Principal first, and if he says yes, then you have to do this with me."

"Ugh, fine. I'm only doing this for Y/n."

"Of course you are." He teases. They head to Principal Nezu who is going through calls like crazy and when he takes a pause, Aizawa explains his idea to him, to which, Nezu happily agrees, and tries to finish up his work. After a while, Nezu manages to get a press conference for the two, with Present Mic joining them. 

It starts at 7 that same night, live for the world to see. They quickly dressed in their suits and left for the broadcast. When they arrived, the air was frantic, and chaotic because of the reporters over flooding the room. The three heros sighed and went up to their chairs on the small stage.

At U.A's dormitories, Izuku and all his classmates were still in the lobby of their dorms when a hero's voice came over the intercom of the dorms to watch the news. Iida turned on the tv, and on every news station, was Present Mic, Eraserhead, and All Might, at a long table, ready to address the world. The students either sat or stood around the tv to listen as the volume was maxed out.

"Do you think this has something to do with Y/n?" Jiro wondered. Momo thought for a moment and shrugged.

"It could be. I mean, it was her, Shinso, and Midnight that were first attacked by the League, and no one knows how or why it was them. And Y/n is still missing too."

Mina raises a finger to her lips. "Shhhh! They're about to talk!" They hush and watch the screen. Izuku gnawed at his fingertips anxiously, worrying about his missing girlfriend. 

All Might speaks first. with a grave expression. "We came here today to announce a serious matter. Just 4 nights ago, the League of Villains had kidnapped and beaten a fellow hero and teacher from U.A while she was on patrol. Her name is Midnight. They used her to lure in a student and used her as ransom if he didn't do as they said, and with those two in their hands, they managed to use them as bait to bring someone out of the safety of the school. It was our new U.A Guard Dog, Y/n L/n." 

The reporters start throwing out questions, but he ignores them and keeps talking. "The League managed to trigger a domino effect with luring the right people out. When they got Y/n, they used her to bring me out, and follow them to the beach. There, is where a large fight happened between us all, and when word got out about the beach, heros were under way, but every hero in the area separated because the League sent diversions and distractions to keep others from intruding on their main mission. To kill me. Fortunately, Y/n was able to turn the tables on the League and managed to fight them off and together, everyone saved the city. Now to tell you and everyone watching...."
