Experiment Gone Wrong [Book 1 Completed]

Radio Show Segment & Hosu

"ALLLLLLLRIGHT! LISTENERS!!! Welcome back everyone to 'Put Your Hands Up Radio'! Did ya miss me?!  Well, I sure missed all of you lovely listeners! Thanks for tuning in! And for this evening's show, we have a very special guest! Everyone, please give a warm welcoming to Eternal Stiffen!" Present Mic's voice blared through the microphone in the soundproof room. "Can we get a 'YEEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!"

"Yeah...!" Izuku trailed off a bit, unsure of himself.

"Come on! You can be louder than that!" Present Mic encouraged him, grabbing his shoulders and spinning him around in his chair. "Anyway, welcome Eternal Stiffen to the show of the hour! Our dear guest here is training to be a hero, but the poor boy doesn't have much confidence. So, he's joining us for a few sessions while on internship. So, lets get into the segment!"

A musical tune played, signifying that a new segment has started.

"Lets get into the random questionnaire! Coming in from user I_Love_Gay_People . They ask, 'Ok, so, if kids get kidnapped, do adults get adultnapped?' Great question, and great name. Always love this segment. Now, to answer your question... do you have any thoughts on this matter, Eternal Stiffen?" Present Mic turned to Izuku who seemed to be in thought.

"Well... by their logic, yes. But, who in their right mind kidna- excuse me, 'adult'naps an adult? Kids would be easier to get and protective parents would do anything for them. That's just my understanding of it anyway," Izuku said, leaning back in his chair as he thought some more. "Should we go onto the next question?"

"Right! From user JoinTehBlackParade , 'what if you used your quirk on yourself? What would happen?' Well, lovely listener with a fantastic name. For me, nothing would happen, except for maybe some pain. I haven't really tried since I was around 6, and I honestly don't want to try that again. I ended up bleeding from my ears. What about you, Eternal Stiffen? What would happen?"

Izuku twiddled his fingers together, humming lightly. "W-well... I don't think I can. I... I haven't really tried to. I don't think anything would happen," he tapped his chin a few times, sighing softly. "Yeah. I doubt anything would happen. Onto the next question. From user HannahTacoLady , she says, 'you gotta set that shit for daylight savings?' My eye, huh. No, I do- wait, how the hell did you know I'd be here?! You didn't announce this before hand, did you?!" Izuku turned to Present Mic and pointed a finger to his chest in a threatening manner. He waved his hands and shook his head frantically. "Well, I guess you might've noticed me last night. But, I don't. My eye seems to alway be on the correct time when it's not in use."

Present Mic clapped his hands together, gaining the attention of Izuku. "Onto the next segment!"

=~=~=~=~=~=

Izuku stretched his back and arms, groaning his relief that the show was over. "Man, that was way more stressful than I thought it'd be. How do you do this every week? I could never do this so frequently and enthusiastically. How do you do it?" Izuku asked, turning to his mentor who was stretching his arms above his head. 

"Well, little listener. Once you go pro, you'll be in the spotlight way more than you'd think imaginable. Unless you become an underground hero like Aizawa," He reached over and started to ruffle Izuku's hair, ignoring his whines of protest. "You'll get use to it soon enough. Now than. Let's go out and patrol, shall we? We're going to Hosu. Time to get yourself out there," Present Mic pat Izuku on the back, turning him to the door that trapped them in the soundproof room. "So go get yourself ready. We'll be leaving soon." 

Izuku nodded, grabbing the door nob and twisting it, leaving the room to his guest room. He fixed himself up and mentally prepared himself, clenching his fists with determination lighting a fire within his eyes. He left the room, heading down to the front tinted glass doors where Present Mic waited. They nodded to each other, heading out the door and down to the train station, buying their tickets and boarding the bullet train to Hosu. All was silent as Izuku stared outside the window, watching the buildings blend together as blurs. As he watched, be noticed bright oranges and yellows filling the sky. 

Tensing, he poked Present Mic's arm and pointed out the window. "Uhh, Present Mic... there're fires outsid-" He was cut off as a hero was bashed into the train, a bulking Noumu entering from the hole that was created. "A-a noumu!" 

"Everyone, stay calm and evacuate! We'll take care of this," Present Mic said, watching as the passengers ran off to seek safety elsewhere. He turned to the Noumu and hero, yelling "YEAH!" at the beast, sending it flying out of the train. The downed hero followed after the beast, leaving Present Mic and his intern in the train. "Come on kid. We're going down. I'll only give you permission to use your quirk to help others and to act in self-defense." 

The two jumped down, running along the track, leaving the train and passengers that were being escorted off. They jumped down, coming face to face with a blazing city filled with screaming civilians, battling pro heroes and screeching Noumus. Glancing around through the panic, Izuku set off to help escort the civilians away from the danger. He glanced back, viridian eyes catching the pro hero Manuel. He was alone, and was calling out Iida's name. 

'Wait... Iida?!' Frantically twisting his head left and right, Izuku scanned the vicinity. No Tenya in sight. 'Dammit. Where is he?!' 

We have to find him! You know the Hero Killer is here right now, right? He attacked his older brother.

'You're right! We have to go now!' Izuku quickly ushered the panicking civilians away before rushing to his mentor. "Present Mic! I'm going to go find Iida! He's run off somewhere and is most likely trying to find the Hero Killer!" 

"What?! I-" He huffed out a heavy sigh before facing Izuku with a serious look. "Alright. Just don't put yourself in a situation where you'll die. Do as a hero would do." 

Izuku nodded and ran off, thoughts rushing through his mind as he sped through the streets. He kept glancing down all the alleyways, breath quickening as he rammed his mind for possible places where they might be. He searched and search until the sound of a blade slashing metal echoed in the distance. His eyes narrowed, brows furrowing as he forced his legs to run faster. 

'I'm coming Iida! I won't let you die. Just hold on.'
