"They Brady Bunch here is going to need a new house." 

"Gee way to state the obvious, Nemuri!" Hizashi threw his hands into the air, and gave her a really look. 

"I'm sure Nezu would be happy to provide housing," she continued, ignoring Hizashi.

"Yeah, that's why we're so unsure about asking. He has offered a few times, too," Aizawa pitched in. As of right then, the kids - as to be referred to solely as the Midoriya Protection Squad, or the MPS- were all cuddling on the couch, watching horror movies. 

"I'll call him." Aizawa decided finally. 

"You hate talking to Nezu," Yeah, no shit, honey!

"It's for Midoriya. It's worth it." He headed out of the room. 

"And then there were two," Nemuri said ominously.

"You know that nursery rhyme is actually really messed up." Hizashi reminded her. 

"What?" 

"Yeah, hold on, lemme pull it up." Hizashi pulled out his phone, and looked it up.

"Ten little soldier boys went out to dine,
One choked his little self, then there were nine."

"What the fuck," was all Nemuri said.

"Nine little soldier boys sat up very late.
One overslept himself, and then there were eight."

"Seriously, what the fuck?" 

"Eight little soldier boys travelling to Devon.
One said he'd stay there, then there were seven."

"At least he didn't DIE!" 

"Seven little soldier boys chopping up sticks.
One chopped himself in half, then there were six."

"wHAT THE FUCK!" 

"Shut up and let me read. 

Six little soldier boys playing with a hive.
A bumble bee stung one, then there were five.

Five little soldier boys going in for law.
One got in Chancery then there were four.

Four little soldier boys going out to sea.
A red herring swallowed one, then there were three.

Three little soldier boys walking in the zoo.
A big bear hugged one, then there were two.

Two little soldier boys sitting in the son.
One got frizzled up then there was one.

Un-aliving self warning

One little soldier boy left all alone.
He went and hanged himself.

Then there was none."

You good now.

"Ok seriously, what the actual fuck?"

"I have no clue, but it's messed up, isn't it?" Hizashi gave Nemuri a look. 

"Yeah, no shit."

Midoriya grinned at the media coverage. They were the basically the only thing that the news was talking about. The main question was what they were. Many people dubbed them vigilantes, but many people who were called out by the Rejects were calling them villains. 

His personal favorite article was the one that stayed relatively objective. 

The Rejects are the talk of the news recently, and there are many different opinions on what exactly the Rejects should be classified. Some say heroes, other say villains. What do you think?
