Chapter Text
Japan. at U.A. Class 1A’s third year, before graduation.
Izuku had a double take
“There was a group of kids who fought a villain but it was covered up?!”
Nezu nodded
“We had to cover it up, the good news is almost all of them are heroes now.”
Izuku thought for a moment, ‘to think other people fought villains and the students were injured, if it was ten years back of course it was covered up… wait..’
“Principal Nezu, may I contact them to hear their story? What happened? I know it’s far fetched… and kind of stupid, but I really would appreciate being allowed to!”
Nezu thought for a few seconds before nodding, pulling up some files on a computer
“I see no problem with you learning that information, I’ll send you their numbers, go ahead and call the pro hero, Sleeping Pill, to learn about it.”
Izuku nodded and left, later that day he got home and contacted her about meeting up for lunch tomorrow, to his happiness she said yes.
‘before the war Sleeping Pill was the 20th hero on the charts.. around there at least. Her quirk is mass sleep, the ability to put at least 100-200 people to sleep at once… if only she had been in Japan at the time of the war! She would’ve been helpful. Sadly she went off to America for a short trip before the war started, then she couldn’t get back.’
he stopped himself from continuing to ramble.
Tuesday. Tokyo, Japan.
Izuku sat waiting for her to arrive, as she did he took note, she wasn’t wearing a hero outfit, but a rare limited edition All Might hoodie? He didn’t even have that one!
She sat down in front of him. Looking at him closely
“So you are izuku midoriya? A little unimpressive.. why’d you call me here?”
‘not even a minute in and she insulted me? Mean.’
“I heard about your class ten years back. Class 1B. I wanted to hear your story, were you all attacked by a villain? And it was covered up?”
She choked on nothing, hitting the table in front of them, she covered her face as if thinking about something important before she coughed looking up.
“Holy shit! Our story? I suppose I could tell you.. let’s go to a more private area… Man I wasn’t expecting that, then again Nezu let you contact me so no wonder, he was against our agreement to cover everything up, even though it was to not stain the school’s image.”
He nodded at her idea to go somewhere private and they headed to a nearby park that was luckily rebuilt, sitting at a bench. She looked off to the side
“I can’t help but think if we had told everyone the truth… All for One, could’ve been defeated faster… I take part of the blame, it was my idea to cover it up.”
Izuku shook his head
“What makes you think that? He was too strong in sure it’s not your fault- you all didn’t know I”-
She laughed loudly
“God shut it kid! You don’t have to talk all the time, gods! Anyways.. Where do I start, man? We’ve only ever talked to ourselves about it… But for me… well. Around ten years back to that day, the first day of the first year I guess.”
She took a deep breath.
