"So... he wants you to join The League."

All Might stood with you in the hallway of the hospital.

As soon as you were stitched up, you wanted to visit your other friends to see how they were doing. You were intercepted however, by your disgruntled nurse first, and then All Might himself.

"That's what he said," you sighed.

"We'll come back to that," All Might said, "There's something we need to talk about first. Are you sure you don't need more rest?"

"I don't think I can even if I wanted to."

He seemed to understand and let it go, "You understand that the four of you broke the law tonight?"

Those words were like daggers to the chest.

"The deed itself wasn't necessarily bad, but without a license, using your quirk to inflict damage on someone is illegal. Stain was in bad shape by the time he was arrested."

"What does that mean for us?" you asked, "I-It was my fault. I landed the last hit and he-!"

"Calm down," he said, "It wasn't just you, alright? Unfortunately, Iida already admitted to me how he hunted down the killer on his own... it was thanks to you, Midoriya, and Todoroki that he's even alive. However..."

You gulped.

"There are rules for a reason. You're going to have to face the police chief and hear what he has to say. Since you're not quite 18 the punishment might not be as severe... I'll see what we can do to persuade them."

You shook your head, "I'm so sorry, All Might. I was just doing what I felt was right at the time."

"Of course. That's what heroes do..." his large hand pat your head, "You're all alive. Be proud of that much. But even heroes have to follow rules. Otherwise, we walk the dangerous line towards villainy..."

"You're one to talk you great, big idiot," a short older man in a yellow cape came stomping towards you, "It's no wonder your students are as disobedient and reckless as you are!"

The great All Might lost his composure, like a cat falling into a tub of water, "Gran Torino, sir!"

"And you!" the old man pointed to me, "Your aunt and uncle have done nothing but bicker since I brought them here."

"Uncle?" You frowned, "Do you mean the butterfly?"

"Oh. Thought they were a thing..." he muttered, "but as soon as you're done here with the chief - deal with them! And you! I'm going to rip your protege a new one unless you do first!"

You and All Might were rigid as boards. This was the guy Midoriya interned with? He entered the room where Izuku was recovering and left you two alone.

"What did he mean by protege? Was he talking about Izuku?" you asked.

"Oh! Uh! Not to worry, (Y/N)! Come find me after your talk with the chief and we'll discuss the business with Shigaraki."

You scowled. I'll find out your secret one day!

With trembling fingers, you opened the door to see not just Izuku but Iida and Todoroki as well. They all had defeated expressions on their faces, but some relief was shared.

"You're okay," you smiled.

"Sort of," Izuku sighed, "Iida damaged his arm pretty bad."

"It'll be okay," Iida declared, "I deserve consequences for my actions."
