Powerless - A My Hero Academia/ DC Crossover

Chapter 40: All For One

Uraraka, Kirishima, Todoroki, Iida and Yaoyorozu all sat on the train bound for Kamino Ward. Yaoyorozu had decided to accompany them on their suicide mission. Iida had met them outside the hospital in an attempt to stop them. When he realized his efforts were futile, they had to swear to him, on their lives, that they were going to try to rescue Midoriya through non-violent means, and he had accompanied them to keep them to their word.

"The coordinates indicate Kamino Ward," Said Yaoyorozu. "We should be there in about fifteen minutes, at ten o'clock."

"Does the rest of the class know what we're doing?" Asked Uraraka.

"Yes," Said Todoroki. "They tried their best to talk us out of it."

"Asui was the most against it," Said Kirishima.

Todoroki suddenly looked uncomfortable. "Just to be sure," he said. "We're going

against everyone's wishes and being completely selfish by doing this. We can call this off if we want."

"Midoriya wouldn't think twice about coming to our rescue if it was one of us," said Kirishima.

"He was trained by Batman," Said Yaoyorozu. "We all know that from the moment we met him, he was already miles ahead of us, quirkless or no."

"But Kirishima is right," Said Uraraka. "Izuku stepped in to save me when I first met him, before his training. As long as I have known him, he has always been there for those in need, no matter what. He has done so much for us, and has saved us all in one way or another. We owe him that."

"All right then," Said Todoroki.

Yaoyorozu leaned back in her seat, sighing. A rescue without fighting, She thought to herself. It's not plausible. The others are so driven by frustration that they're blinded. She was hoping that once they saw the situation first-hand and realized how difficult the situation was, they would come to their senses and let the pros handle it.

Aizawa, Principle Nezu, and Vlad King all stood before a swarm of reporters. UA had finally agreed to hold a press conference to discuss the events of the Training Camp. Aizawa knew they were being led into the conference like lambs to slaughter, and it would be a veritable blood-bath.

"We are here to apologize," Said Aizawa. "A recent incident allowed harm to come to 26 first year heroes, and we staff were ill-prepared. We take responsibility for any trauma caused by our negligence. It is our duty to train heroes, but also our duty to protect heroes in training."

"I'll take the first question," said a reporter. "Since the beginning of the year, UA students have had four encounters with villains. This time there were students who were gravely injured, and one unaccounted for. How did you explain this to their families? And what are some of the specific steps you're taking to ensure their safety in the future?"

Aizawa had a feeling this would be the first question. The media already knew their basic position since they didn't cancel the Sports Festival. They were trying to make them look bad.

In their eyes, the heroes had become the villains.

"We will increase patrols and review security measures within the school," Said Nezu. "This includes state-of-the-art security systems, an increased security presence, and a complete overhaul of security procedures. We have already received a generous donation from the Martha Wayne Foundation for such increases to be possible. The safety of UA's students is, and always has been, our main priority. Make no mistake about it."
