"Alright so I've send Crowley on his way, he should be there soon" Midoriya said over the phone.
"You gave Endeavor those sleeping pills I gave you?"
"Yes, mixed it in with his tea just like you instructed" I answered, hearing the snorring coming from my father's room.
"He's vast asleep. I don't think it's been this peaceful at home in years"

"You're welcome! Anyway, Crowley should be there by now, open up your window"
I did what he asked me to do and soon an owl flew into my room.
"He's here" I said, seeing there was a small wristband around his paw that stated 'Crowley, property of D.E.K.U.'.
"Great! See ya here in a bit" Midoriya smiled disconnecting afterwards.

I sighed, glancing aside at the owl. The last time I rode that thing was when the Green Reaper kidnapped me... Call me a little sceptical but I'm not looking forward to riding it again. The owl seemed to give me a similar look, making me frown.
"Alright, let's get this over with..." I sighed, crawling out of my window and signing him to transform. He obeyed perfectly, turning into a griffin in mere seconds.

Careful, I ascended his back, getting used to this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I wasn't ready for what happened next, Crowley taking off without a warning. I yelped, holding onto the beast for my dear life as we soared through the sky. I don't like animals. I only like cats, because they don't let people mess with them. I almost kissed the ground as we landed again, but I contained myself.

"Here, pull this on"

A dark hoodie was thrown my way. It spelled in big bold white letters D.E.K.U. on the back. I gave it a quick glance before seeing the Green Reaper in front of me. In all his glory, may I add.
"I take it you don't want my lackeys knowing you're working for me right? Better use a disguise as long as you don't have your own costume" he explained.
"R-right" I said, glad he didn't use his Reaper voice on me like last time.

I changed into the hoodie and pulled up the hood, covering my hair.
"Keep your head down, we don't want people seeing your scar" he said as he dragged me along. I simply nodded, following him through the hallways of his base. I need to say, it's quite something. Really modern looking and nice... His lab was impressive as well, but that shouldn't surprise me since he's a little genius.

"Welcome to my private quarters, young Todoroki. This is where I'll train you how to use your power" Midoriya smiled, showing me a giant training room. There was a staircase in the back, leading up to the second floor which was used as bedroom/living area. He had a whole damn library up here! Amazing... But what caught my eye instantly was the boy laying on one of the couches, reading one of Midoriya's notebooks. He wore the same dark hoodie as me, but his hood was down, making him easily recognizable.

"Shinsou..?"

"Oh, hi Todoroki" he said with a small smile before continuing to read. I looked aside at Izuku with a questioning gaze, expecting some kind of explanation.
"He heard us talk in the bathroom today-" he sighed, taking off his mask to look at me.
"-so now he knows. He doesn't want to join the union for some odd reason but he had some questions about everything so I brought him here"

He shrugged it off like it was no big deal, but to me it was. I thought we were alone in that bathroom!
"Don't worry dude, I won't tell on you" Shinsou said, seeing I was slightly freaking out.
"Yeah, besides, I already threatened to kill him and all that so trust me, he's good" Izuku smiled, handing me a small pile of clothes.
"Training clothes. There is a changing room downstairs next to the showers. I'll go set things ready"

"Yes, of course boss" I said, still a bit unsure. Shinsou chuckled at that.
"Boss" he snorted, turning a page in the notebook.
"Shinsou-kun!" Midoriya whined, hitting him on his arm.
"I demand respect when I'm the Green Reaper, understood?!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, just get training already" he said, waving it off. I growled. How could he be so utterly ignorant towards Midoriya!

It frustrated me to see the boy that helped me cope with my pathetic life being treated like that.
"Tch, don't expect me to invite you again" the green head muttered as he walked away.
"Shoto! Ignore him and get changed!"
"Yes boss" I replied, following him downstairs.

"I know you can do better than that Sho~ Come at me with all you've got!" I exclaimed, kicking him down. He groaned, holding his abdomen in pain as his transformation faded away. His dark red hair faded back into his red and white coloured hair. His bright icy blue eyes shifted back into his dual coloured ones and his scar returned to his face.

"Oi! Come on! Show him who beat me at the Sportsfestival!" Shinsou shouted from the balcony.
"Who are you rooting for traitor?!" I yelled playfully as Shoto crawled back up.
"P-please... No more..." he begged, making me look at him with a sad smile.
"I told you it would be hard, didn't I? I won't push you, you know that. We can stop for today, you did well for a first time, young Todoroki" I smiled, helping him up.

"Try to practice on the duration of your transformation without using too much of your power. Shift frequently, get used to the feeling. It'll help you grow"
"Yes boss" he said with a weak smile.
"Please Todoroki-kun, you can drop that when nobody else is around"
"I feel slightly offended" Shinsou stated, making me roll my eyes.
"I don't count the people who know my secret" I chuckled.

"Which so happen to all be in this very room right now"
"Are you serious? The Green Reaper has been active for years... How can it be nobody has ever discovered you yet? Nobody's cover is that tight" Todoroki stated in shock.
"Well, you're the only ones who live to tell the tale~" I grinned, brushing the tips of my fingers against his bruised cheek, making him flinch.
"Apart from my dad, that is..."

"Which is that All For One fellow you write about, right?" Shinsou asked, waving a notebook around.
"Midoriya Hisashi, one of the most successful businessmen of Japan... An almost immortal super villain... Who would've thought?"
"Midoriya Izuku, an innocent quirkless hero fanboy, the killer of All Might" I countered, grinning at the insomniac.
"Touché" Shinsou muttered.

I turned back to Shoto, giving him a sad smile.
"Go take a shower and get dressed, I'm taking you back home"
"That house isn't my home, not really" he whispered.
"Soon, young Todoroki. Soon you'll have your revenge"

"Meow!"

A cat ran inside the room, followed by a small barking dog.
"Dandelion!" I hissed, making the Pomeranian stop dead in his tracks. Purrcy ran straight to Todoroki, jumping in his arms.
"Hey there... It's okay" he whispered, smiling a little. I heard quick footsteps from the stairs and soon Shinsou was fussing all over Purrcy as well. Dandelion got angry at the lack of attention, making his fur explode multiple times.

"Dandelion! No explosions inside! Bad boy!" I stated, picking him up from the ground.
"What is it with you and that temper?"
"Why is it you're a dog person?" Shinsou groaned, giving me a judgy look.
"He reminds me of Bakugou" Todoroki said with a neutral gaze.
"I tested One For All on animals first, you know that" I started.

"And well I thought it would be a good idea to combine it with Kacchan's DNA..."
"That dog is literary Bakugou?" Shinsou asked, seemingly terrified.
"He can be nice if he wants to okay?" I defended myself.
"But he and Purrcy don't really get along..."
"Oh God... Purrcy? Seriously?" Todoroki asked while petting said cat.

"Don't judge me!" I frowned, crossing my arms.
"Oh and Shinsou-kun, you can't touch him"
"What? Why not?!" he gasped.
"Can't you read? It says property of D.E.K.U." Todoroki chuckled.
"Which means this cutie is all mine!"
"What?! No fair!" Shinsou exclaimed.

"I may be a villain, I still uphold a few basic rules. Which includes that outsiders can't touch my stuff" I smirked.
"Then I'm joining" he simply stated, shocking both me and Shoto.
"You what?" the halfa asked surprised.
"Sho, go shower, let me handle this" I ordered, not breaking eye contact with Shinsou.
"As you wish, Midoriya" he breathed, letting go of Purrcy, which lead to a cat and mouse game between him and Dandelion.

As soon as the door shut, indicating that Todoroki had left, my glare deepened and the Reaper surfaced.
"Are you absolutely certain, Shinsou-kun? You want to join my union just to pet my cat?"
"You don't want to know what I would do to pet a cute cat" he said, as serious as I've ever seen him.
"Give me a One For All injection if you must, make me one of your elite soldiers, I don't care. I. Want. To. Pet. Purrcy"

Hmm... An elite group of OFA users who trust me and the other way around does sound appealing... He and Todoroki could be the first members of that special squad. Yeah... I quite like it.
"Deal" I grinned, stretching out my hand.
"To making the world a better place for us outcasts"
"To petting cute cats" Shinsou grinned, taking my hand.
"Green Reaper, we have a deal"

And that's how Shinsou joined the union. Later on he admitted to me that his seemingly out of the blue change of mind, was actually the result of me slowly convincing him throughout his time at the hide-out. It helped that he and Todoroki could somewhat manage to agree with each other since they'll be working together frequently from now on.

I sighed, walking to school, alone... Since I gave Shinsou One For All, he's been super sick and stayed home from school. He knew the risks and accepted it anyway... But I shouldn't be worried, I know he'll feel better once his new quirk settles in.

"If it isn't Quirkless" a taunting voice said from behind me. Oh just great... I turned around, seeing a few guys from my class now standing in front of me. Without Shinsou I was an easy target, not that they didn't bully me when I'm with Shinsou but at least he can tell them off...
"What is it? Scared now that there's no one left to protect your sorry ass?" he chuckled, pushing me. I stumbled back a little, tripping over the uneven stones of our pathway, falling onto my butt.

They laughed, which was to be expected. Tears came to my eyes as the name calling continued. As they said Shinsou wasn't really sick but just sick of me... I know I let myself get bullied so I won't blow my cover, but that doesn't mean I like it. It's actually quite frustrating, knowing I could blow them to the moon in mere seconds but having to restrain myself in every way possible.

"P-please... J-just leave me a-alone" I choked out as I curled up in myself, knowing they were about to start hitting me.
"Why would we? You're just vermin, you need to be eradicated" one of them laughed.
"Yeah, we'd be doing the world a favour by getting rid of you!" another one agreed.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"

I peeked up, my eyes glinstering with tears but a smile creeping onto my face. My knight in shining armour has arrived! His ash blonde hair as spikey and wild as always, his ruby eyes glaring in anger at those who hurt me. My bullies froze up. Bakugou Katsuki defending a stupid little quirkless boy? Nobody saw that coming.

"K-Kacchan..." I said with a weak smile, seeing him return it for only a second before focussing back on the situation.
"Leave. Him. Alone" he breathed in anger, explosions leaving his palms as he glared them down, slowly stepping closer.
"I'LL KILL YOU FOR HURTING MY DEKU!"
And with that he started chasing them. It didn't take long for him to beat the shit out of them though, since they had absolutely no chance against a combat unit like Katsuki.

"You okay nerd?" he asked, checking me over as he helped me up. I nodded, dusting off my clothes. Bitch please, I've lived through a bullet wound! This is nothing! But I can't tell him that though.
"I-I'm fine... This isn't the worst I've been through" I said with an emotionless dry chuckle, seeing it made Kacchan mad, yet sad.
"Normally Shinsou-kun is a-able to hold them a-at bey with his quirk b-but he's sick so..."

"So what? You shouldn't have to deal with his shit" he hissed.
"I'm quirkless Kacchan, it's only to be expected-" I started but he cut me off.
"No! I won't stand for it!" he hissed, grabbing my shoulders and forcing me to look at him. Were those tears forming in his eyes? Am I really that important to him?
"I'm walking with you to school from now on, understand? And I'm walking you home as well"

"Y-you don't have to g-go through all t-that trouble j-just for m-me Kacch-"
"Stop trying to convince me otherwise! It's pissing me off!" he shouted.
"You obviously can't fucking protect yourself so someone's gotta step the fuck up. End of discussion. Now walk before we're both late, shitty nerd"
"Yes Kacchan!" I smiled, trailing after him.

Oh God, could I fall in love even harder for this aggressive blonde boy? He's just so strong and handsome... I don't know how much longer I can take this! Luckily we arrived at school soon enough, where Katsuki's friends surrounded us in an instant.
"Morning Bakubro! Oh hi Midoriya, good to see you again!" Kirishima grinned, eying Kacchan with a slight smirk on his face.

"Fuck off shitty hair" he grunted, releasing an explosion in his face, which the red head easily countered with his quirk.
"Not. A. Word. Understand?"
"I sense sexual tension in the air~" Kaminari sang, sending Bakugou over the edge.
"What the hell did you just say Pikachu?!" he hissed before attacking the electric blonde. He tackled Denki to the ground, burning his clothing as he held him down.

"N-nothing! I-I'm sorry!" he stuttered quickly, flinching at the heat on his shoulder and chest, there where Katsuki was pinning him down.
"Kacchan! Stop it! You're hurting him!" I yelled, pulling him off of Kaminari, who laid panting on the ground for a little longer. Bakugou seemed to be snapped back into reality by my actions, scowling and clenching his fists. I know better than to push him into apologizing. It would only make things worse.

"Not cool dude" Eijirou said with a small glare as he helped brush off some of the ashes on Denki's uniform.
"Tch"
"Do I even want to know what is going on here?"
We all turned around to see Aizawa sensei and Present Mic. The 1-A homeroom teacher noticed the scorch marks on Kaminari's uniform and his gaze travelled over Kirishima towards Bakugou.

"Dude! Your clothes are like totally messed up man!" Mic shouted, pointing out what everyone else already knew.
"Alright, Bakugou, detention" Aizawa sighed, sounding disappointed.
"Who the fuck says I did that?!" the ruby eyes teen hissed.
"Well, did you do it?" Eraser asked, raising a brow. Katsuki groaned, glaring at his teacher.
"That's not the point-!"

"Make that a week of detention" he sighed before his eyes fell on me.
"Oh, hello Midoriya, good morning"
"Good morning to you too Aizawa sensei!" I smiled. Everyone else in the hallway gave the friendly exchange a confused look. It wasn't like Aizawa to break character like that...
"How is Shinsou-kun? I hope he is feeling better"
"Ah, yes, I had to thank you for bringing his favorite candy over. He really appreciates it"

The least I could do... I mean, it's my fault he's suffering in the first place... Besides, he is handling it much worse than Todoroki, which worries me a bit.
"Oh yeah, I was about to ask you for him Midoriya" Kaminari said with a weak smile, scratching the back of his neck.
"It's been a while since I saw him, he's normally with you right?"

"He's sick" Aizawa stated, glaring Denki down.
"What business do you have with my nephew?"
"Y-your n-nephew?!" Kaminari shrieked, holding his hands up defence while backing away behind Kirishima. I smiled. So Kaminari liked Shinsou too huh? Well this could be interesting~
"Dude, you're so screwed" Eijirou whispered as Aizawa grunted and walking past them into the classroom, Present Mic closely behind him.

"Don't tell me you actually have the hots for that insomniac?" Kacchan laughed.
"You're one to talk! With your crush on M-"
Before I knew it, Bakugou was strangling both of them, holding them pressed up against the wall, his palms releasing a dangerous amount of heat.
"Finish that sentence and I finish you" he hissed towards the blonde before glaring at the red.

"You fucking told him?!"
"H-he was w-with me w-when you c-c-called..." Kiri choked out, trying to pry Katsuki's hand off of him.
"Kacchan!" I gasped in shock, taking a step back, trembling a little. I knew he could be violent but this is crossing a line! And that's saying a lot coming from me, out of all people. You just don't hurt your friends! That's an unspoken rule!

He let go in shock, staring at his hands for a second before slowly turning around to face me. His eyes widened as he read fear in my eyes.
"Deku, I... I-I can explain-" he started but I didn't let him finish. I started crying, running away from him, bumping into someone on my way.
"Sorry!" I squeaked out, wanting to continue as fast as possible. Only I was stopped by this person grabbing my wrist, making me halt and look up.

"T-Todoroki-kun!" I said in surprise. How the hell did I not notice it was him?!
"Are you okay Midoriya?" he asked, worried.
"You seemed to be running away from something-"
"Oi! Let go of Deku you half-n-half!" Bakugou yelled as he turned around the corner. I flinched at his voice, making Shoto realise what was going on.

"No" the halfa replied simply, glared at Kacchan.
"Not until you tell me how you made him this upset"
I glanced up at him with big eyes of shock, not used to seeing this protective side of him...
"What the hell?! Why are people always assuming it was me when something is off?!" he hissed, annoyed by the fact Todoroki didn't just do as he told him to.
"Because it was you" he answered neutrally.

I saw anger flare up in Katsuki. Todoroki was only making things worse... But then Kacchan did something I didn't expect of him. He unclenched his hands, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, letting go of his anger as he breathed out.
"Look... I'm sorry, okay? Not only for you seeing that just now but also for doing it... I-I don't know what came over me... I've just been very frustrated lately and I guess it's starting to show"

Todoroki was shocked, not knowing Bakugou was capable of apologizing. Me, on the other hand, I was smiling. I'm so happy he's finally able to deal with his emotions! Well, to some extend... But it was still progress! I'm so proud!
"Just promise me it won't happen again, okay?" I asked, walking over to him.
"Tch, yeah, I promise or whatever..." he mumbled, not fighting the hug I gave him.

Todoroki wasn't fully convinced yet but he knows I can handle whatever Bakugou throws at me. He glared over my shoulder at Shoto, silently telling him to stay quiet about this. Todoroki simply raised his hands in surrender, continuing his way to class like normal.

"Argh, seems the old hag was right, those anger management classes are necessary..."
"You're taking classes?" I asked surprised.
"Well, yeah, since last summer" he muttered, obviously ashamed because of it.
"Apparently I was getting 'out of control' or some shit like that so my parents forced me to... If you tell anyone, you're dead, understand?!"
"I won't" I chuckled, pulling back from our hug.

"I'm glad you're getting yourself together Kacchan... It makes me sad to see you angry all the time, you know?"
"I'll try to keep that in mind" he said with a small smile, ruffling my hair, making my blush a little.
"Anyways, we should both get to class before we're late. I'll see you at lunch. You can sit with me and that bunch of losers since your shadow is ill"
"Really? Thank you Kacchan!" I smiled.

"Tch... Only a nerd like you would thank me for something so self-explanatory" he grunted, grinning as he left. I kept smiling though. Kacchan will never change and I don't want it any other way!
