After the tournament was over the students were allowed to go home and Reiko couldn't wait, as soon as she walked through the front door she went straight to her room and locked the door so if her parents came home she wouldn't be disturbed and be able to search in peace, she opened up her computer and typed in Izuku's name to learn more about the ghost boy but what she found was horrible. All the links we're about his death which was a act of suicide mind none of them were about his life, after searching deeper and deeper through depressing articles she did eventually find his old Facebook account which was a relief because reading the suicide articles were really starting to get to her, "Alright let's see what we got, Izuku Midoriya age 14 loves pro heroes wants to be one, favorite hero is All Might." that last bit confused her, Izuku had said some things about All Might while talking to Bakugo but she was so distracted by the fact that Ghost are real that she didn't really think of it until now, as she read through his page he seemed to be obsessed with the number 1 pro hero to the point it was getting kind of creepy but then again she had a unhealthy amount of video games that there were literally mountains of them right next to her so she didn't really have any right to complain. After that she tried searching for a connection between All Might and Izuku but she only found one article that related and it was about All Might defeating a slime villain who was trying to kill a kid, it also mentioned that another kid who was quirkless tried to save him but he got stuck and All Might had to save him too, there was even a photo at the end of the article of Izuku trying to save Bakugo, "Izuku ran up and tried to save him but he was no match for the slime then All Might came in and saved the day but that doesn't explain why he has such hatred for the hero or why he killed himself." Hours past and Reiko non-stop searched for some type of answer but there was nothing she could find making her very fraustrated, "God damnit there's nothing here how am I ever going to figure this out." then it hit her, "Oh yeah i can summon him anytime he can answer all my questions." but before she could summon him she needed to clean up her room first and probably take a bath.

(At the Bakugo Residence)

"Congratulations on your victory Kacchan." "Oh shut up Deku." Bakugo fell face first on to his bed and tried to get some sleep but Izuku wouldn't let him, "So you gonna throw a party to celebrate or just sleep in all weekend?" He asked but Bakugo didn't answer, "If you don't talk to me I will just spy on Mitsuki while she showers." He wasn't really gonna do such a thing he had way to much respect for her to do such a thing but it got Bakugo's attention, he shot and set off a huge explosion right in Izuku's face and as the smoke cleared the realization occurred that he had just scorched half the items in his room and Izuku was fine, "Now what did that accomplish?" Izuku smiled as he picked up what used to be a alarm clock that was now burned to crisp, suddenly in a flash he disappeared and the alarm clock fell to the floor scaring the crap out of him, "Izuku." he said but there was no answer. Izuku suddenly appeared in Reiko's room surprised until he saw her sitting on the floor in front of the TV holding two controls, "You wanna play?" She asked holding up a controller to him, "Depends what's the name of the game." He sat down next to her and took the controller, "Were playing Devil May Cry 3 just press start and you'll play as Vergil." Over the next hour the two did the most amazing combo's together all the way to the boss defeating Demon Arkham, "Izuku your a pro at this it's like you've played before." "No I'm just good at playing games when your dead you got alot of free time to get good at stuff." He returned to playing the game when suddenly she paused it right in the middle of a fight, She looked sad and he noticed she looked like she had been crying, "Why did you kill yourself?" the smile on his face disappeared, he looked at his wrists and studied the wound he caused with a razor while he was alive "I was born quirkless so I was bullied by everyone for years every day of my life, a former friend even told me to kill myself so I did and I never looked back until I forced to by my caseworker." "Caseworker?" By the look on her face he knew she didn't know what he was talking about and he had to explain, "So when die in like a repressed rage or sadness or something like that you become a ghost and you are assigned something to haunt, now that could be a item of certain value to the deceased, a place that the deceased once lived or even a person which was important to or caused the death of the deceased, i think you know which I got."

"So Bakugo was your friend who bullied you, that monster." Reiko was never quick to anger but knowing such a person was trying to become a hero, "Yeah he's a bad person but I'm fixing that through psychological torture, anyways to help you with haunting your assigned a caseworker to show you the ropes and help you cope with being dead plus they give you a book that explains everything you can do like so." Izuku pulled his eyes out of his head and started throwing them up in the air then suddenly the eyes grew wings and they flew around room before flying right back into his head, "Tada." he said with Jazz hands, Reiko was absolutely speechless from what she had saw so Izuku just continued on, "That's just the tip of the iceberg of what I can do, however there are things a ghost still worries about if I get to far away from you or Kacchan or someone close to Kacchan I might get eaten by a sand worm, I could also get exorcised which sends me to horrible place for souls but Bakugo doesn't know that and he never will." There was a brief silence before Reiko pulled out another game from of the stacks in her room, "You wanna play Killer Instict." "Hell yeah put that in." That night Reiko for the first time got her ass handed to her in a fighting game and she spent the whole night trying to beat him until she passed out around 5:30 AM, Izuku noticed this and put down the controller so he could carry her and put her to bed. Once she was tucked in he turned off everything and organized her game collection, "Goodbye Reiko I had fun." With a snap of his fingers he disappeared returning back to the Bakugo's house.

(A few days later)

"Hey guys how about after school we all get Ice Cream." Ashido said jumping with excitement but everyone else in the Bakusquad seemed less enthusiastic, "We should try studying so more and prepare for the finals." Jiro said not taking her eyes off her book, "Yeah I'm with Jiro we should be studying." Kirishima added, "I would love to go but I work tonight sorry." Sero said and Kaminari jumped at the chance to be alone with the self proclaimed alien queen, "I'll go with you." He said like he was a puppy begging for attention, Ashido knew he was trying to become more than just friends so she tried to find a nice way to avoid that by asking Bakugo, "Do you wanna go Bakugo?" All he did was grunt, "Was that a yes or a no?" Before he could answer he noticed Reiko had walked over with a bunch of lunch trays and they were all floating over him, "What the hell are you doing Ghostface?" he asked but she didn't answer and with one movement of her finger all the lunch trays tipped over and dropped tons of food on him, there was a large gasp from everyone in the room and some laughter but that all changed when Bakugo literally exploded jumping out of his seat and charged right her, she prepared herself by using her quirk on some nearby tables and blocked his path but he propelled himself over them using his explosions which exactly what she wanted, using a nearby Mineta Reiko launched the pervert into the air and it hit Bakugo before he could react. Mineta's head ended up hitting Bakugo head first and some of his purple balls stuck to him, before he could fully recover she started moving assorted items at him making them stick on to the explosive boy but suddenly she was wrapped in some type of cloth and it was the eraser hero Aizawa's scarf, "What is going on here."
