She's the Man

Daddy Issues

Izuku lead his team through the task of avoiding Todoroki's oncoming attacks. He'd been grateful to his sister for giving him a thorough look into his classmate's quirks, and what she'd observed of their strengths and weaknesses. Iida was fast and strong, but was too disciplined. He followed the rules in a precise and strict ordero which left him open for deceit. Yaoyorozu was smart, and very athletic, and had a fair amount of strength and skill. Izumi had noticed, however, that she often needed approval for her actions, which meant her confidence was shaky at best. Kaminari's quirk was powerful, but came at a disadvantage. Because of the way he channelled his quirk he often short circuited his brain if he used too much power.

As for Todoroki, he was by far the best in their class in Izumi's opinion. On top of having a powerful quirk, he had excellent judgement, athleticism, physical strength, and tactician. Todoroki should have won in their battle exercise but had shown the good sense to stop the fight before Izumi had overdone it and hurt herself. He had only one weakness... and that was his pride. For whatever reason Todoroki refuses to use his left in combat. It was that weakness Izuku was exploiting.

As Todoroki poised to attack Midoriya moved his team to the left. Todoroki snarled, knowing if he attacked with his ice, he'd catch Iida in the crossfire. The guy had seen right through him, or Izumi had exploited him. Either way, unless he thought of something fast Midoriya would beat him out again, and it ate at him.

"Everyone," Iida suddenly spoke breaking Todoroki's thoughts. "There's only a minute left. You won't be able to use me after this... I'm counting on you."

"Iida?"

"Alright..." Izuku murmured to his team. "Only a minute to go, we-" he drifted off as something went off in his brain. His head turned to the right and he felt an unease. "What's that?"

"Deku-kun what's wrong? You suddenly went pale... Deku-kun?" Uraraka strained to look up at his face, saw the blank stare. "DEKU-KUN!?"

What was he seeing? What was going on? Through the ice and the fog of his brain he saw his sister, but she was as frozen as he, unable to move, unable to think.

"Izumi..."

"Izuku..."

Izumi wasn't sure why she thought of her brother. Her mind was full of haze and fog and her body refused to move and act. Still through the thick of it she could feel her brother's presence, sense him reaching out to her.

They connected, and for a moment they could feel each other's strength. Lights sparked, different colors connecting together, and for a moment Izumi could see clearly. Then, as fast as the sensation had come it vanished.

Izuku felt the smack of a hand against his forehead as Todoroki snagged the band across his forehead, Iida's discreet weapon, recipro burst, and Izuku's blank mind had allowed them the opening they needed to snag the ten million.

"What!?" he touched his forehead and glanced over.

"Midoriya, what happened?" Tokoyami looked over his shoulder at Iida and the crew, amazed by the level of speed they'd attained.

"I don't know... I don't know... but they've got it." And now they were at Zero points. What the hell was he gonna do?"

Izumi had felt the smack of a hand against her forehead as well, but unlike her brother all it had done was snap her to her senses.

"OW!" Izumi flinched and smacked the hand away while holding her forehead. "That hurt... what the hell?"

"What!?" Shinso looked at his hand then at her, his team halting right beside Izumi. He made another grab for her points, reaching for the ones around her neck now. He tugged and it jerked her body back, refusing to come off. "What did you do?"
