Alright, so lesson learned: Don't do surgery on yourself unless you want a hobo and helicopter mom always stalking you. Don't ask me why it is bad because I don't know why. I just know it's bad.

In addition to that jazz, Shouta and Mom agreed to try and put me on medication in an attempt to calm me down. When I was younger, Mom did try to give me medicine to get me to sleep, but it didn't work. Now, it still doesn't work even at the highest dosage!

I'm a druggie! But seriously, it didn't work. The only thing it did at the highest dosage was it made me act out of it.

"WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD! THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ! I THINK THE WIZARD IS A RAT, BUT OH WHAT THE FUCK EVER!"

Okay, it made me act high, so I'm drug-free again! Shouta buffed up the exercise routine more to get rid of as much energy as possible. I'm still hyper.

Finally, Shouta and Mom agreed to switch the days I spend with them. Initially, I would spend Monday through Wednesday with Shouta and the rest of the week with Mom. Well, after the 'apparently, I need more sleep' incident with Recovery Girl, they changed to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for Shouta.

With all that information out of the way, it's time to skip to the present!

Alright, so we are on the second week of vacation. The first week was spent with two days on I-Island, and the rest was dealing with overprotective parents. Next week, we have that summer camp bull shit.

This week, I'm finally free from the stalking eyes! However, the first day, I'm sent by Shouta to go on a shopping trip with class 1-A to watch them!

Why me?

"It's an attempt to teach you responsibility." I quote from him. That has to be the stupidest idea I have heard since God giving me a quirk. There is a reason he didn't.

I'm not going to get out of the chance to hang out with my classmates, though, so here we are at the mall! I quickly round everyone up.

"Alright! So I know our luck is jack shit, and something will happen, but I recommend you try to prevent it! You may be hero students, but you all are also kids. If you suspect something suspicious, go the fuck away and text everyone in that stupid group chat that we haven't used in forever. Either way, be safe! Now, pair up or something." I mutter the last part. Quickly, everyone starts to separate off what they need. With luck, I get my girl Uraraka!

"Squawk squawk!" Oh, and Patchy. As CAT is, well, dead, Patchy has to take place as the support animal. It can do mostly do the same as CAT except for the fact that it can't do the armor or anything related to it. It only has wings instead.

"Hey, Izuku! Do you know where to find cheap but nice shoes?" She asks as she walks over. For some reason, she is by herself.

Good news girl, I got your back! I go shopping way too much for booty shorts and heels!

"Of course! Follow my lead!" I lead to the place I go whenever I need heels, and I inform her of the many shoes.

"Shut up; you're stressing me out with all these choices!" Uraraka cuts me off. I get that it can be overwhelming, but damn!

"Okay, okay! Chill, girl!" Yeah, I'm way too enthusiastic about shoes. It only takes us a few minutes until we find the shoes we need and head out. Uraraka shows me the list, and I lead her to the next store only to be cut off by this weird feeling.

If there is one thing I can teach you, it's to follow your gut feeling. I have experience with bullies. I know when to trust the bitch.

I quickly pull her close, something I would not normally do, and whisper, "Uraraka, go into the store and text the group to not separate." I let go of her as she looks at me with worry. I nod to her, and she walks off. At least she is out of the danger zone. I softly ask Patchy to start recording.

Without formal presentation, an arm wraps around my shoulder, and a hand touches the front of my neck with all but one finger touching. I have done enough research (hacking) to know who this is.

Coincidence, he is here of all places.

"Kinky. Thinking you're on my level already, Shigaraki?" I snark with a grin. Don't worry; I am aware that I am a psycho. The grip tightens around my neck.

"Shut it, brat. You know how easily I could kill you right now?" Shigaraki snarls at me.

"Pretty easily, probably. I'm not really worried about my life. I have to worry about the others around me, huh? Don't do this whole shi-bang again. Let's get your damn talk over with." Without a response, he drags me toward a chair and forces me to sit down. The hand remains around my neck and the arm on my shoulder.

"Don't you think it's interesting that everyone can walk around thoughtlessly with a smile on their face?"

"Expected. I thought you had something to talk about. Move on with it. I have more important things to worry about than a man trying to kill me." This causes him to choke me for a moment. He lets go for a moment, quiet before speaking.

"I hate everything." Shigaraki starts.

"Relatable!"

"Shut up, or I lose my patience and turn everyone here to dust." Alright, so now I need to be quiet for now. It doesn't help that I'm already twitching.

"Before I was rudely interrupted by an NPC, I hate everything. However, I hate Stain the most right now. I should be getting the recognition, yet Stain is getting attention for being arrested by a quirkless brat. We caused more damage, but it's overlooked by Stain. I don't get it. Tell me, Midoriya Izuku, why Stain is getting all the attention and not me?!" I thought it was painfully obvious! Also, why am I being dragged into this? Welp, I'm getting an excuse to insult him, so I'm going to take it!

"First off, you're talking to the quirkless brat that nailed down your Nomu at the USJ, so fuck off. Second, the reason he is getting attention, and not you is that he has an actual kill count. The Nomus only made the place look ugly. Stain killed some bitches successfully compared to you. Also, we have the ideals that he was trying to spread. It gives a reason. People want reasons. You were kind of just there for the fun of it. If anything, people linked what you did as Stain's doing. Shitty business deal, by the way!" Suddenly, the hand around my neck starts to tighten, beginning to choke me again.

"I get it now! I hate him because I hate All Might! These people can smile without a thought because of All Might! All Might is the man who created these ideals!" Hold the phone. When did All Might's name ever fall from my mouth? Also, would you like to loosen? No? Alright then.

I'm struggling to breathe. Shigaraki tightens his grip. Stay calm, Izuku.

"Thank you, Midoriya, for this evaluation! All Might is all my troubles! You and All Might are all my troubles!"

At this point, I can barely hear him. My vision starts to darken as he has a death grip around my neck, but I don't move it. He can still turn me to dust. Before I pass out, I finally look at his face for the first time. Chapped skin. Red eyes. Face shape — anything I can grab and store in my brain at the moment.

I don't fight back. Everything is muffled, and black spots decorate my vision. I force myself to stand straight.

Suddenly, the hand is removed. Greedily, I gulp for air as I look up to see Shigaraki talking to Uraraka. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE HERE, URARAKA! I will worry about that later. Right now, I need to figure this man out. It takes a moment for me to hear again. I don't know what happened, but he starts to get up and leave. Yeah, no, I want more information.

I force myself to speak, coughing out," What is All for One up to?" I will explain who this man later. Right now, know that he is the real leader of the League of Villains, and he's All Might's rival.

"I don't know. We do what he wants and follow him. You better be careful, Midoriya. You're on his wanted list. You're considered the biggest threat under All Might for some reason. Next time we meet, you will be dead." Shigaraki kindly informs me. Great! I'm already wanted dead!

I look up with a smile and say, "Looking forward to it!"

Sigaraki scoffs, " Don't follow me, or I will get angry." And leaves.

"Izuku, are you okay? Your neck is bruising already!" Uraraka whimpers out of fear as she sits down beside me. I touch my neck and ouch! Yep, that's a bitch.

"I'm fine. Tell everyone that as soon as they have everything to go home. This is too dangerous right now." I state as I stand up.

"What about you? You should get that checked out just in case!"

"I'm going to go to the police station. I need to pass and gain some information. Go home as quickly as possible, understand? Oh, and tell everyone to text me when they get home." As soon as I receive a nod from her, I run to a specific police station. I only trust the detective there, after all.

---

"I appreciate all the information you have given us, Midoriya, but I can't put you on this case. It's highly confidential. In fact, I should be arresting you right now for knowing the name All for One. I'm not because you said you have connections with All Might." Detective Tsukacuhi tells me, making me want to slam my head on the table. The only reason I'm not is that I have an icepack around my neck.

"Come on! I've worked with you multiple times! I can figure this shit out if you let me see what you got. I should be involved if they are after me as well." I know him well enough to talk like this.

"You're right. However, you know the laws involved to get you in. If it gets more intense, I will let you in. Don't ask Nezu to let you in either because he can't even get you in." I run my hands through my hair as I stand up.

"Fine. Alright then. Okay. I will hip-hoppity out of here. You know where to find me." I mumble and walk out of the interrogation room — honestly, screw laws. You know we can figure this shit out much faster without those specific laws.

Oh well!

I walk to the lobby, expecting mom to be waiting for me as it is her day to deal with my bullshit. What a surprise to see Shouta and Hizashi waiting for me in civilian wear! The moment I step out, Shouta quickly looks over me before locking eyes on the icepack around my neck. He gets up, walks over to me, and gently removes the icepack. I flinch because that bitch hurts like a bitch! I really did not like the look on his face, though, so time to fix that.

"I think I'm going way farther in the BDSM category then you two are," I smirk. That receives no response from either of them. My expression drops. Damn, it must be bad, " How bad is it?" Shouta bends down slightly to look at it as Hizashi looks with fear spreading across his face.

Hizashi gulps, " You have no idea?"

"No. I worried about the students getting home and getting the information to Tsukauchi. The students are home before you harp me about it, Sho." I swear Shouta's eye is twitching. Before he has a chance to punch me in the face, Hizashi pulls out his phone and turns on the camera feature for me. When he hands it over, I can see why they would be worried. There is a dark, bruised hand on my neck. Like, you can clearly see where Shigaraki was choking me! Actually, I shouldn't be too surprised. I looked at the audio from Patchy, and it turns out he was trying to choke me because of how I insulted the league! Great job, me! You almost got yourself choked to death!

"I give you credit for taking care of the students and the information. However, you should have dealt with yourself first. What if he damaged more than you think?" Shouta tells me as he puts the ice back on. I bit my tongue to keep from hissing.

"That didn't run through my head. I thought that as long as I was breathing, I was fine! Off-topic of me, what are you two doing here? I thought Mom was going to pick me up."

"Change of plans. Nezu wants to talk to us about what just happened. I would also like to get Recovery Girl to heal that if she can."

"He has something planned, doesn't he?"

"Probably. No idea what, though. Hopefully, it isn't too bad." Shouta mutters as he walks out. Hizashi looks down at me as we follow.

"How the hell do you get yourself in these situations?"

"Plot convenience? I don't know, Hizashi. I only knew something was going to happen!"

"That isn't encouraging."

"When am I ever encouraging?"

"When we're causing trouble."

"Oh, so true!"

"Move it, you, loudmouths!" Shouta yells at us from ahead.

"Damn, he is salty. Did I interrupt sex or something?" I ask Hizashi. He blushes.

"We aren't even at that stage yet!"

"Just asking!"

---

I honestly don't want to be here because I'm not supposed to be at school! I feel like I'm being ripped off here!

It turns out, it's a meeting for the whole staff, and he wanted me involved for some reason. When we arrive at the meeting room, Hizashi and I logically push Shouta in first and follow after him. He glares at us then goes to his seat with Hizashi, leaving me by myself for a moment.

DON'T WANNA BE, ALL BY MYSELF-

"Ah, Izuku! Please stand beside me." Nezu tells me. Oh, okay! I zoom over and stand beside him. I see some of the teachers looking at my neck, unable to look away from the icepack. After clearing his throat, he starts his speech.

"Over the past few months, UA has become a target for the League of Villains, more specifically, All Might. This has made all our current students in danger. This morning, class 1-A went to the mall nearby and ran into the supposed leader Shigaraki. Izuku had everyone separated into pairs, so only one pair, Izuku and Uraraka, ran into him. He made Uraraka go away and dealt with Shigaraki. I will not go too deep into details, but we learned that Izuku is now considered the next target under All Might. With everything going on, we need a new plan. If they were able to find our students in a casual place, coincidence or not, that could cause problems.

Izuku, you will no longer be a student for Aizawa or me. You already know everything we could teach you, so keeping you in those classes is not benefitting you in any way. During these times, I will partner you with a teacher to do a task, whether it be a teacher assistant, side-kick as you can legally be a side-kick without a quirk, or to help teachers on their assignments. This will give you more variety of work to expand your skillset. Teachers are allowed to ask for you if they need help with anything. You will be starting this today." Hold the phone. I cut him off.

"I'm technically out of school right now. What then?" Nezu has the nerve to smirk at me.

"The summer camp is to improve quirks specifically. You don't have a quirk, so we have to come up with something for you anyway. This will replace that. We have two major tasks for you planned. At the moment, you will be paired with Power-Loader to build a portable security system. This security system will be used to watch over the camp. You two may do this however you like. During the camp, you will be partnered with Aizawa the whole time to help or possibly protect the students. I know you two work well together, so I can trust you with that. That is all. Everyone have a nice day!" With that, the little rat scatters off.

Before I can move, I hear a voice clear from the table. I turn to face Recovery Girl, glaring me down to tell me 'get over here and let me heal you.' With a sigh and bitten tongue, I walk over to her and remove the icepack, gasps filling the room.

Well, except for one.

"I think you took the BDSM thing too far, Izu." Nemuri comments. She knows my comedy. Sure, she is shocked at the damage, but she knows that this is the joke I would make at this time.

That doesn't save her from a cane being thrown at her head.

"You two are so trouble-some together! Honestly, you need to be separated from each other!" Recovery Girl scolds as she studies the bruise. Shouta, of course, hat to throw me under the bus!

"Izuku made a similar joke at the police station."

"OW, COME ON! I GET NEMURI BEING HIT BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE INJURY, BUT I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO MAKE THE JOKE AT LEAST!" I yell.

"I might take your suggestion in separating them, Recovery Girl. Nemuri, you're not allowed at my house anymore." Damn, you are extra salty, Shouta.

"COME ON!" Nemuri and I both scream. After another knock in the head, Recovery Girl kisses my forehead, and the bruise goes away. Thankfully, I don't feel drugged this time!

"Looks like you're sleeping much better, Midoriya." Recovery Girl compliments me. Too bad, Shouta has to ruin it!

"I have to force him. His body doesn't believe in sleep."

"Sounds accurate from the report I got." WHAT REPORT?!

Ectoplasm says," This is an interesting family." The rest of the teachers nod in agreement. Well, the teachers who aren't used to my shit. Obviously, I have to pull something out of my ass now.

"Jealous much? Anyway, let's go, Maijima! We have shit to do!" I can hear the man sigh as he gets up. We head out to get to work.
