"So, not that I don't mind you being here but," Katsuki said, "Don't you need a guardian?"

Izuku bit his lip, "Yeah, I do. Remember when you said my quirk gave me sudden amnesia? Well, it did." Izuku stared at Katsuki, "I need you to tell me everything you know about Midoriya Inko."

"Midoriya Inko?"

Izuku paused. Was it possible that she didn't have this name in this universe? "Yeah, my mom."

"Midoriya Inko?" Katsuki asked in disbelief, "You never knew your mom's name."

Izuku sighed, making up a lie on the spot, "I have an intelligence quirk, Kacchan. I can't remember anything but I know new things."

Izuku then added, "The sudden amnesia was backlash from using it for the first time. I was quirkless before this, you know. So, what information do you have on my mom?"

Katsuki looked at Izuku skeptically before frowning, "You really want to know."

"Yes, I do."

"She was murdered by a villain named Midorikumo."

~~~

Midorikumo. Izuku faintly remembered the name. Midorikumo, was it me? Who is he?

"Kacchan, hurry up!! I'll be late for class!!" Izuku said.

"I'm coming, jeez," Katsuki yelled. True to his word, he did come.

Izuku was nervous, what if he was kidnapped on the way to school or something? Hell, what if All Might went after his friends? He took a deep breath and willed himself to calm down, his paranoia seemed to be rising again.

Although, it's really not paranoia if they're really out to get you, is it?

"What're you waiting for? Weren't you the one that told me to hurry up, nerd?"

Izuku quickly began walking. "I don't know, just have some stuff on my mind..."

Katsuki raised a brow, "About the class or him?"

"Him," Izuku answered, "I honestly don't know what to do. What if he comes after you guys? You're..." Quirkless, unable to fight.

Dammit, he's being quirkist— "I don't know what to do, Kacchan." He sighed, running a hand through his hair, "I should tell the teachers."

"Yeah, yeah, you should."

"Great."

~~~

"You are getting quirks, your quirks," Nedzu said.

Aizawa looked up, "You mean—"

"You need to protect the students somehow," Nedzu sipped his tea, "Quirks like yours and Kayama's are essential for controlling the student's quirks."

Yamada frowned before asking, "Are we all getting our quirks back?"

"It is up to you."

"I, for one, want my quirk back," Ken said, "When are we getting them?"

"When All for One arrives."

~~~

Izuku kept looking over his shoulder every 5 minutes. He felt a tingle of someone watching him again. It seriously unnerved him, especially with the recent events.

Katsuki was obviously concerned, his concern only increased when Izuku insisted Katsuki go ahead.

"Um, Kacchan, I have to do something," Izuku said, "I'll meet you in class."

Katsuki stared at him, "Didn't you just fucking say that there was a chance you'd be kidnapped?" Izuku stayed silent, "I'm not fucking leaving, nerd."

"Kacchan," Izuku said in what his old classmates used to call his 'hero voice.' It was a voice that instantly shut down any protests from the other person, Izuku doesn't use it often.

("Kacchan," Izuku said, "Leave, now, please. If something happens, I'll be okay.")

Izuku took a deep breath, willing away his memories from his world. His world. The world he wants to get back to, "I'll be fine. I just have to talk to the teachers, remember?"

Katsuki paused, considering it, before he relented, "Fine. But if you get kidnapped, when we save you, I'm going to rant about how much of a fucking idiot you are."

Izuku smiled, "That's fine with me."

Katsuki left, leaving Izuku alone. Izuku looked around. No one was there, until someone was.

The tingles went up his neck as Kirishima greeted, "Izuku."

Izuku cursed himself for getting worked up over nothing, but in his defense, he forgot this Kirishima existed (he'd never forget his Kirishima...). "Kirishima..."

"Get me in the hero course," Kirishima said —no, ordered, "I want a quirk."

"No," Izuku said, "The hero course is for heroes, it's literally what the name implies."

"Did you just talk back?"

Izuku wasn't afraid, no, he just didn't like consequences. Deku was a hero, Deku could defend himself, and guess what? Izuku was Deku. "Yes, I did. And I'm saying that you're not going to the hero course. Should I get the nurse to check your hearing?"

Kirishima grabbed his shoulder roughly, his eyes a dark red, "Who are you? You're not Izuku. Izuku would've cowered..."

"People change, Kirishima," Izuku spat. This Kirishima disgusts him. How could this be Kirishima at all? Izuku brushed the hand off his shoulder, "And don't touch me."

"Or what? What will you do?"

"There's a reason I'm the hero course," There was an unspoken threat there. The threat that yes, he can fight and has a quirk. Of course, Izuku wouldn't actually hurt an innocent person, but he'd be lying if this Kirishima doesn't piss him off.

"Listen, I don't have time for this," Izuku sighed, weariness taking over his anger, "I have stuff to do, places to be, people to help. If you have an issue with me, okay, I don't really care, but don't bother me, got it?"

"I don't have time to deal with this," With that, Izuku turned and walked away.

Kirishima was left in a stunned silence.

~~~

"All Might was at my house," Izuku casually brought up in conversation to All for One.

All for One stiffened and the staff room instantly lapsed into silence.

"He knows about my quirk, what do I do?" Izuku asked, "He also knows about my friends... Where I go to school, he knows everything. What do I do?"

Everyone was stunned to silence before Aizawa spoke up, "We need to implement security and protect the students."

"Where's Yagi?" Yamada asked, "We need to discuss this with everyone."

"Speak of the devil and he appears," Kayama said, pointing to the door.

Toshinori walked in, "What's going on?"

"All Might decided to take a not-so-friendly visit to Midoriya's place," Nedzu reported.

Izuku, for the first time, noticed how Toshinori didn't ring any bells. Not like All Might, who activated windchimes in his ears. That had Izuku blurting, "You passed on your quirk."

"What?"

Toshinori dropped his coffee, "How did you—"

"I'm afraid we need an explanation," Ken interrupted.

"Toshinori Yagi has a quirk called One for All that's able to be passed on," Nedzu said, "Or had. He passed it on, or so Midoriya claims."

"Who did you pass it to in your universe?"

"Kirishima," Toshinori said.

"'In your universe'?" Kayama asked, "What is going on?"

"I'm from a different universe where Heroes are common, All Might is the Symbol of Peace and All for One is a mastermind crimelord," Izuku summed up, "Basically. I can only guess that Yagi's from a different universe because he gave OFA to Kirishima."

"In my universe, Izuku Midoriya is a quirkless vigilante."

"Okay but what does this have to do with the current situation?" Aizawa asked.

"All Might here found out I have One for All," Izuku said, "There are 2 of me here. Be default, he'll start asking questions."

Nedzu caught his drift, "If he discovers the different universe and OFA weilders..."

"OFA is a stockpile quirk, by itself, it's already powerful enough to level cities," Izuku said, "If he gains any more OFA from anyone else..."

"He'll essentially become a nuclear bomb with the power of destroying the planet," Nedzu sipped his tea, "Quite a predicament, indeed."

"But that'd take a good 5 OFA users," Izuku said, "The issue now is that if he connects the dots, we're screwed, but we also have to protect everyone."

"Multitasking," Kayama said, "We should also find the other Midoriya before All Might does."

"I've been working on that and," Izuku steeled his gaze, "I can say that I got him."

~~~

"Who are you staying with?" Katsuki asked Izuku.

"It's been decided that I'll stay with Aizawa-sensei," Izuku said, scribbling notes.

"The hobo?"

"He's not a hobo, he's just on power saving mode."

Katsuki stared incredulously, "Power saving? What?"

"You know, when your phone's on like, 15%," Izuku said, "And then the screen goes dark and—"

"Okay, okay, wait," Katsuki said, "If he's on power saving mode, then where's his charger?"

"Doesn't he carry around a sleeping bag?" Hagakure asked.

"So the sleeping hag is his charger—" Ashido said.

"He must have faulty wiring because he's constantly on power saving mode," Yaoyorozu said.

"You guys realize we're talking about a person, right?" Katsuki asked.

Izuku shrugged, "Even people need to charge. I sure as hell know I need to."

Kaminari joked, "Not everyone's a goddamn power outlet, Katsuki."

Ironic, Izuku smiled.

Katsuki grumbled as everyone started laughing.

~~~

"So this is my apartment," Aizawa said. "And Yamada's too."

"You live with Yamada-sensei?"

"None of this 'sensei' stuff in the house, Midoriya," Yamada said. "It's not very big."

Not very big? Hisashi and I lived in a smaller house— Izuku smiled, "It's fine. And you can call me Izuku."

"Got'cha, Izuku," Yamada grinned, "Make yourself at home! The juice pouches are Aizawa's though, and the coffee, I don't reccomend touching them."

"Duly noted," Izuku dryly said, "Also thank you for taking me in."

"It's all Ay-Okay!" Yamada threw up an okay sign, "You needed help, Izuku. Thanks for coming to us, little listener."

Little listener... Izuku thought that Yamada didn't use that anymore, it was Mic's phrase after all. Izuku smiled brightly, "Nonetheless, thank you."

Thank you, everyone.

~~~

Midoriya — "Midorikumo is your name, boy."— looked up at the sky. He had finally run away from his hellhole of a home, and fully expected Hisashi to have replaced him.

Except Hisashi did it literally. There was literally another him, and Midoriya would be lying if he said he wasn't shocked.

Except, this him was a hero. It was obvious in the way he held himself, how he constantly had hope. And Hisashi tried to make him a villain... Midoriya knew that Hisashi would fail.

Then why did he feel so nervous meeting this other him? He's a hero, he won't resent Midoriya, right? It's true, Midoriya constantly has blood on his hands that he can't seem to scrub off, but even he, a murderer, should be allowed to have hope, right?

Midoriya knocked on the door.

Izuku opened the door and his eyes widened, "Oh my god, you're—"

Midoriya swallowed thickly, "You, I-I was w-wondering—"

"Let the guest inside, Izuku!" Yamada said.

"Okay," Izuku replied, letting Midoriya walk inside.

Aizawa woke up, "Who is— um." He rubbed his eyes tiredly, "It's too early for this shit."

"Shou," Yamada lightly scolded. "Okay, so what's your name, little listener?"

"I-Izuku Midoriya."

"Hiza, the fuck do we do?"

"We should call Nedzu," Izuku said.

Aizawa downed 2 cups of coffee, "I'm not awake enough for this shit."

"Good idea, Izuku," Then Yamada back pedaled, "Um, I meant—"

Midoriya smiled tightly, "I know."

~~~

"The multiverse?"

Izuku did his homework, "Yeah, basically. I'm from another magical dimension, and have a quirk, like literally everyone else in the world."

"O-oh," Midoriya had changed and had a cup of hot chocolate in his hand.

Izuku looked up at Midoriya, "The real question is, why are you here? Not that I mind, or they mind, it's just,"

"I'm confused," Izuku scribbled absentmindedly, "Why appear now? After I went through all of that to track you down?"

Midoriya took a deep breath, "I had to make sure you could be trusted."

"Ah, yes, trust," Izuku wrote down the answer to his math problem, "That seems to be a big issue in this world."

Midoriya didn't know how to reply to that.

"Izuku, don't antagonize yourself," Yamda lightly scolded.

Izuku merely smiled, "Me? Never."

Midoriya gazed at them longingly, he wished he could have interaction like that.

"Anyway," In a second, Izuku's playful nature dropped, his eyes hardened, Izuku was Deku, "Where did you come from and what have you been doing?"

Midoriya braced himself against Izuku's gaze and told the story.

~~~

"This is quite the predicament," Nedzu sipped his tea.

"You mean a drag," Aizawa sighed, "What are we going to do?"

Izuku shrugged, "He can be my twin, I guess."

"Twin?" Kayama asked, "That'd be a good idea. It would certainly throw All Might for a ride."

"At least Midoriya number two came to us instead of we having to go to him," Yamada said.

Izuku smiled at Midoriya, "And for that, I'm grateful. Thank you."

"So what is exactly his story?" Toshinori asked.

Midoriya explained it for a second time.

~~~

"YOU HAVE A TWIN?!" Ashido exclaimed, pointing at the newly dubbed 'Azuku'.

Izuku nodded, "I only found out recently because my step-mom had custody of him, but this is Azuku."

"N-nice to meet you," 'Azuku' said timidly.

"Welcome to the Izusquad!" Hagakure exclaimed brightly, "Aka, the next heroes!"

"I'll m-make support i-items for y-you guys then..."

Kaminari smiled, "Really! That'd be a good addition!"

Needless to say, 'Azuku' got along well with Izuku's friends.
