Third POV

When Izuku and Vlad King arrive back at the camp, the students are standing outside with their bags silently. Izuku steps in front of them.

Izuku looks at each of them as he speaks bluntly, " Eraserhead is gone. We will be leaving tonight. Text your parents to be waiting at UA within a couple of hours." Without waiting for a response, he walks inside to change from his bloodied clothes.

Class 1-A looks at him with fear. Izuku, the one usually able to make a joke about any situation, just told them the harsh truth. There is no humor. There is no comfort. His eyes don't have the light there anymore.

Izuku is serious.

Uraraka reluctantly asks Vlad King, " I-Is he telling the truth?"

Vlad King sighs, " Yes. Until your teacher comes back, Midoriya will be your teacher. Listen to him. He prevented many casualties tonight." With that, he goes inside as well.

The class remains standing there quiet until Vlad King and Izuku come out. Izuku is in his back-up costume with two bags over his uninjured shoulder, one bag presumably Aizawa's. He guides them back to the bus, letting the students get on first. While they load, Izuku pulls out his laptop and programs two drones per bus to watch. He throws the rest in the back as he could care less about the shape they are in at this point. Izuku gets in and sits in the same seat as last time. The buses leave.

Izuku doesn't have time to waste. He gets on his laptop, grabs any information he has, and sends it to Detective Tsukauchi. While he searches for any other information he possibly missed, he quickly receives a call from him. Izuku answers.

"Are you saying these are locations that Eraserhead and Ragdoll are or could be at?" Detective asks.

Izuku pulls up the information for something to look at, " Eraserhead's tracker B is guaranteed because there is a low chance they would remove his shoes. Eraserhead's tracker A was in his headset. That tracker was destroyed, but the last location is in the same building as tracker B. Tracker C is where the Nomu is unless they already found it. For Ragdoll, I deny she would be in the same place as Eraserhead because she was wanted. I have my guess of why, and it involves the actual leader of the League of Villains."

"Her quirk?"

"Yes. Ragdoll's quirk is rather useful, after all. Can I be placed on the case now?"

A sigh goes through the phone, "Yes. You know too much not to be placed on the case. There is a meeting at UA as soon as you and Vlad King arrive. Be there. I sent the files of everything you need to know. Read them before you get here." With that, Detective hangs up. Izuku quickly opens the files and scan through the whole time while working on papers.

As soon as the buses arrive at UA, parents pull their kids to their cars and leave. They weren't willing to talk to the teachers, but nobody can blame them. Their kid just went through a villain attack, after all.

When the students are gone, Izuku and Vlad King head to the meeting room. They enter the room silently. Vlad King going to his seat, and Izuku stands next to Nezu. Izuku ignores any reactions or looks toward him from the variety of heroes in the room.

Detective Tsukauchi clears his voice, catching everyone's attention, "Now that everyone is here let's get started. Tonight, class 1-A and 1-B of UA were attacked at camp by the Vanguard Action Squad, who was created and sent by the League of Villains. Their goal was to take Ragdoll, Midoriya Izuku, and Bakugo Katsuki. They managed to take Ragdoll at the beginning of the fight. The students were placed inside the buildings to be protected from the villains. Midoriya was fighting alongside the teachers. In the end, Midoriya was asked to give himself up for Eraserhead, but he declined. The squad took Eraserhead. However, we have Eraserhead's location as well as the location of one of the members. Midoriya, can you tell us about the League of Villains and Vanguard Action Squad?" Izuku nods, straightening up.

"The League of Villains is a group of villains whose goal is to kill All Might, and their secondary goal is to obtain me. We have no idea what their plans are after that. Their figurehead is Shigaraki Tomura, who's second in command is Kurogiri. The Vanguard Action Squad was created as a presumably elite squad with ten members. Three of their members, Moonfish, Muscular, and Mustard, were arrested at the scenes. The remaining seven are Dabi, Toga Himiko, Mr. Compress, Twice, Spinner, Big Sis Magne, and Nomu. Nomu is the one with the tracking device. Even though the three taken out are physically the strongest, the rest can operate without their help. Any additional information on them is found in the packets before you." The rustling of papers fill the air as they look through the villains.

Tsukauchi resumes, "Thank you, Midoriya. While these are significant threats, our most notable risk is All-for-One, the real leader of the League of Villains. His quirk allows him to give and take quirks. The theory we have is that Ragdoll was chosen because of her quirk. However, we lack her location. Right now, I have the police force look into the Vanguard Action Squad members as well as anyone else associated with the League of Villains.

We plan to attack tomorrow night. Nezu and Vlad King will be conducting an interview to distract the villains. While the discussion is going on, we will attack both buildings. We have already looked outside of both buildings where the trackers were located, so we know where we are aiming. Details are found in the packet, as well as the current plans of who is doing what. If you have any concerns, please call me. Meeting dismissed." Izuku quickly looks through the notes, finding his position filled with 'where he is needed.' He's aware he probably can't be put on the front line anyway, but Izuku will if he has to, legally or not.

"Can UA teachers and Midoriya stay here, please? I have news." Nezu asks the staff. When the rest of the heroes leave, Nezu continues, " With everything going on, I believe now is the time to turn UA into a boarding school. It's too dangerous to let the students wander around at this point. Cementoss, Power-Loader, and Izuku, I will leave you three to build the dorms. I have the blueprints here. You should know what to do." Nezu slides the blueprints across the table to the teachers. Izuku walks next to Power-Loader to study with.

Power-Loader clears his throat, "Izuku, I can have Hatsume help me if you want to focus on the case-"

Izuku cuts him off, " I deny any new information will come up before then. If I keep looking at it, I will go delusional. I know everything I can at the moment." The teachers look at him with worry, specifically Present Mic and Midnight.

Power-Loader sighs, "Understood. You can start building the main engines. I deny you're going to sleep, so here's the key." He hands over the key-card, and Izuku leaves the room.

Present Mic runs his hand through his hair, not caring if it messes up as he stands up, " I'm going to talk to him." Midnight quickly grabs him.

"I wouldn't recommend that. Let Izu forget about it a little bit."

"You don't think he would plan something on his own, would you?" Nezu, interested in the conversation, join.

"I deny Izuku would try something. He may try new things, but he won't do something that would harm the mission. He's aware of his position. Right now, his main priority is the student's safety."

Present Mic looks Nezu down," Izuku is a child. Sure, he can pull a lot of shit off, but he's human. He's pushing his limits as is. This is breaking it. We all know how much Shouta means to Izuku. How close they are. Hell, they are the closest you will ever see two people! I don't know how, but they are! What I'm saying is, should we really put all this on him?"

Nezu nods, "I understand your concern, but we all know Izuku won't let you touch him." Midnight taps her nails on the table to get their attention.

"Who takes care of Izuku right now? Shouta is gone, so would he go to his mom?"

Nezu thinks before responding, "No, because his mom permitted him to take care of Izuku the entire week. If something happened, Present Mic is given custody of Izuku until he returns. If Aizawa doesn't return within a month, full custody goes to Midoriya-san unless stated otherwise."

Present Mic looks at him with a strange look, "Why?"

"I don't know. I was never given the reason. Everyone should go home and rest now. Tomorrow is going to be a long day." With that, Nezu hops down from his chair and leaves. The rest of the teachers leave with anxiety hanging over their heads.

By the time the morning arrives, Izuku has already finished building the generators for the dorms. While waiting, he looks through all his gear for tonight, making sure it's in top shape. He hears the door open but doesn't bother to react, too focused.

"I should have known you would have finished building them before I got back. Good job, kid. There isn't much we can do now until Cementoss finishes the building. Everything in shape?" Power-Loader asks as he looks over everything.

Izuku nods, then asks, " Have you seen Yagi?"

"He's with Nezu. Why?" Izuku doesn't bother to respond as he leaves the room to go to Nezu's office. He arrives at the door and knocks.

"Come in!" Nezu's mouse voice is heard through the door. Izuku enters quietly, seeing Nezu in his chair and Yagi in front of him, " Ah, Izuku. What a surprise! May I ask what you are doing here?" He closes the door behind him and approaches the two.

Izuku turns to face Yagi, not willing to waste time, " Have you passed your quirk on yet?"

Immediately, Yagi starts coughing up blood, taking a moment before responding, "N-no, young Midoriya. May I ask why you have brought it up now of all times?" Izuku curses under his breath, looks away from him, and wanders," Midoriya?"

"Yagi, that quirk is your top priority, correct?" Izuku only looks at Yagi for a nod, then turns back, " You're officially the very fragile glass cannon. With your current state, you can easily break. After learning that, you need more defense. We have no idea if we're going to be facing All-for-One or not. Know this, All Might, " Izuku turns to meet him, his dark aura flooding the whole room,

"If I believe at any point that you need help, I will step in with disregard to the law. Don't act stupid out there. Think."

Izuku starts to walk away only for Yagi to speak up, "Why won't you take it?" He stops.

"Yagi, I'm the most wanted person behind you. It would be an idiotic move because I'm far into the media not to be suspicious if I were to obtain a quirk suddenly. Besides, your quirk is too powerful for my body. I can't have myself disabled in any form tonight. Any other questions?"

"I understand, young Midoriya."

Nezu ignores the tension between the two, "Thank you for bringing that up, Izuku. That must have slipped our minds. I expect you to be able to protect him in your way." Izuku doesn't respond and leaves the room.

He starts walking back to the support lab when a loud voice interrupts him. He stops.

"Izuku!" Turning around, he sees Present Mic and Midnight catching up. Once they do, he continues walking as he expects them to follow, "How are you doing?" Izuku can hear the worry from Present Mic's voice, but he presses it down.

"I will be good once I get Shouta back." Bluntly states Izuku. Midnight sighs and looks over at Present Mic as he tries to catch Izuku's attention.

"You're aware that there's a chance we won't get him tonight, right?"

"I'm making that chance as low as possible. We will end this tonight."

"Izu..."

"Trust me on this. You can punish me later, but not right now, Hizashi. I'm getting your man back tonight, no matter what." Izuku runs off, leaving the two teachers behind. Midnight pulls Present Mic into a hug.

"There isn't much we can do at this point, Hizashi. Let him be."

"Both of them are idiots. I get that they are logical, but can't they put themselves first? That's the bad thing about both of them!"

"You're right. Izuku knows boundaries if needed...hopefully. Shouta may not, but he does."

Tonight

Izuku stands next to Detective Tsukauchi with multiple pro-heroes and a swat team behind them. He wears his original hero costume with a few changes. Instead of the jets for mobility, he wears booster shoes that let him roll at incredible speeds that he used at the entrance exam. On his belt, his nunchucks from the Sports Festival hang. His backpack holds his nanobots he had to use at I-Island. His sleeves are rolled-up to fit the electric gloves that go over his elbows. Finally, he wears the visor for Patchy, the robot sitting his wings.

"We are ready to go. The raid may start." Detective Tsukauchi's voice buzzes through his visor.

"We will save you, Ragdoll and Eraserhead," Izuku states, determination dripping from his tone.
