Beyond Ultra (a MHA story)

Chapter 66

Few Days Later

Horoki eventually rested his wounds and was eventually released from the hospital. Hawks was told by Endeavor to take him back to the dorms to make sure he's ok. "Man I'm waking with Hawks." Horoki said smiling. "Man you're a real fanboy huh?" Hawks asked. "Well, besides Endeavor, you were someone I really looked up to. Even when I wasn't a huge fan of heroes, you were definitely my favorite. Your attitude and willingness to be a hero and complete and objective is admirable!" Horoki said. "You're a good kid. Honestly if you recover, I wouldn't mind taking you in my agency." Hawks said. Horoki had that excited child look in his eyes when he heard those words. The two arrived at the dorms, Hawks handed him a card with his name on it. "When you get better and you need an agency, you just let me know." Hawks said. He then flew into the sky and left Horoki alone. He went back to the dorms and knocked on the door. Midoriya opened and his eyes widened. "Horoki!!!" He said smiling. The class came down and rushed him, hugging him. "Welcome back!" Kirishima said. Horoki smiled at all the attention he got, he was then approached by Liam. The two stared each other like titans getting ready to duel, Liam then held his hand out, Horoki stared at his hand and then at Liam. He then grasped his hand and the two held it tight. "Man what would make this even more epic would be a lightning crash." Kirishima said. "One step ahead of ya!" He said smiling. He then conjured up a lightning bolt and felt his brain get fried. "Yeah yeah yeah." He said with a derpy face. The class got a good laugh out of it and Jiro finally came down, she saw Horoki and ran to him, hugging her tightly. Saint came down, who was now a bit bigger. "Dad!!" She said as she ran towards him, jumping into his arms. "I'm here you two." Horoki said, kissing Saint on the forehead and Jiro's forehead as well. The class asked Liam and Horoki what happened, they described the things they found, along with the fight with M-Don. Horoki even discussed his time with the League of Villains. Liam told them that Horoki was right about his father being a sellout. Mina comforted him and held his hand, "it's ok Liam." Mina whispered. "No. He made me turn on Horoki, someone who was like a brother to me and cared about me." Liam said. "Ew gross, no chick flick moments Liam." Horoki said, a small laugh escaping his mouth. Iida then spoke up, "was it true that you talked with Hawks?" He asked. "Yeah, he said he was proud of the work I did. Nothing to big." Horoki said, trying to stay calm. "Horoki. I know when you're fanboying, and you're holding it in." Todoroki said. Horoki began to sweat a bit, "what? No way, he's just a regular hero." Horoki said. Todoroki stared him down, it was then Horoki realized that Todoroki saw him fanboying with Hawks. A small smile appeared on Todoroki's face and Horoki rubbed the back of his neck. "Ok ok there might've been some fanboying." Horoki muttered. Jiro smiled and hugged him, "awww my strong man is a fanboy at heart." Jiro said, Horoki blushed red as the class laughed at him. "Look at him, look at him and laugh." Liam said snickering.

Horoki got to stay with Jiro and just cuddled with her, watching some movies on her phone. Saint licked her paws and looked at the two, "you two are gross." She said. "What's wrong? We're having some time together." Jiro said. "Yes but I'm the baby, I want attention please." She said. Horoki sighed and rolled over to see her, she then hissed and walked away. "Never mind, I don't want attention." Saint said as she walked away. Horoki sighed and laid back down with Jiro, "so you're gonna stay for a while right?" Jiro asked. "For a little bit, I just wanna relax with you." Horoki said. Jiro smiled and coughed. "Man, that's a lot of smoke..." she said. "Oh sorry...it's cause you take my breath away. Hard to control my smoke when I can't breathe." Horoki said with a grin. Jiro blushed red and shoved him off the bed, covering her face with a pillow. Horoki then heard the door knock, he then came down and opened the door to see Lincoln. "Oh, what's up?" Horoki asked. "Gotta talk to you outside, about a venomous friend." Lincoln muttered to Horoki. The two went outside, Lincoln looked at him. "Do you have an idea of where Sumbo is? Or any sort of information on him?" Lincoln asked. "So...about that..." Horoki said with a shy smile. "Lincoln, I think that maybe we shouldn't...bring him in." Horoki added. "You're joking right?" Lincoln asked. "No, I'm serious. What if he was just put in a wrong spot? Maybe he was given an opportunity with the villains and could change." Horoki said. "Horoki. He's almost killed you, Todoroki and Sara. You think that man has any sympathy?!" Lincoln said, still in disbelief. "Lincoln, hear me out! I've been with him, he's got a heart. He's just been in a bad group." Horoki said. "Horoki, you cannot buy that act." Lincoln said as he crossed his arms. "He fought with you at M-Don's building! You wouldn't have gotten outta there!!" Horoki argued. "He fought with me because he knew he couldn't get outta there without my help!! If he killed me in that pit then he wouldn't have gotten out. If he was capable then he would've killed me when my back was turned or when we finished killing those things." Lincoln rebutted back. "I'm gonna bring him in. There's nothing that can stop me from doing that." Lincoln said. "He can change! I've changed!" Horoki said. "You're different. You chose to change. Some people don't want to change or can't be changed." Lincoln said as he walked off. Horoki groaned in frustration and went inside, some of the classmates looked at him and then whistled, as if they didn't hear the two of them arguing. Kirishima came up to Horoki, "you two ok? Sounds like it was a pretty heated argument." Kirishima said. "It's fine. Nothing to worry about." Horoki said, faking a smile. "You sure you don't wanna talk about it?" He asked. "Nah. I'm gonna go to bed." Horoki said, passing Kirishima and walking upstairs. "Well you know that's a problem." Bakugo muttered. "What do you mean?" Kirishima asked. "The idiot doesn't sleep." Bakugo said simply.
