sOME SEMI QUICK NOTES BEFORE WE START:
- This is the english dub, and it will continue to be at least until i get to where i was before in the script
- I went totally overboard in the dialogue section aND I AM SO SORRY
It's a react fic, but jesus christ I went over the top
There'll probably be less in the future I am so sorry 3ehardjfkl (unless??)
- Thirteen is referred to as "she" and "her" because, although originally labelled as a non-gendered character, she's been confirmed to be a female (according to the bnha wiki)
- I don't hate Bakugou - in fact, he's one of my favorite characters
However, he gets a wHOoOoOlE lot of trash on this chapter (mostly from dadzawa heheh)
don't worry though, as soon as you're about to die from bakugou-shaming, he gets some redemption TM
- I incorporated angst into a watching fic... yikes B)
- Remember, this is still just after the sports festival, so Izuku is still kinda like... wiThDraWN? idk... and bakugou's a dingus (ngl tho, I did make Izu a lot more sad or whatever because angst factor TM... sorry ;,D)
I am nothing more than the queen of angst ;,D
god xD
love making bad decisions and posting this randomly B)
anYWAYS
lEtS cONtINuE (if you dont die, lmk! :D)

After a brief pause in which Aizawa caught the remote and sent a glare towards a sheepish Kaminari, the show began.
The lights seemed to dim by themselves, allowing everyone to settle in (at least semi) comfortably, though the pros knew better than to be completely off guard.
Once the dimming had ceased, the screen brightened and the sound of a sobbing child began to echo throughout the room. Just as the auditorium tensed, Izuku appeared before them in child form, crying and shaking as he stood in front of a fallen child.
"Deku?" Uraraka asked worriedly, "What happened?"
The boy offered a small, sad smile rather than answering with words, causing her to shift uneasily.
"Why are you being so mean? You're making him cry, Kaachan!" the boy yelled out, voice trembling. And, despite the fact that he could barely stand, he shifted into a basic battle stance - no doubt inspired by various media sources - and he took in a deep breath. "If... If you keep hurting him, I'll... I'll uh... I'll stop you myself!"
Kaminari raised a brow. "Kacchan...? Isn't that?"
Kirishima, along with the majority of Class 1A and some faculty, turned towards Bakugou, who simply crossed his arms and looked away with an annoyed huff.
"Bakubro...," the redhead mumbled, though there were no further words about the situation.
The blonde - clearly Bakugou, as they had expected - scoffed while his friends snickered to either side. "You wanna pretend to be a hero?" He raised his palm, allowing explosions to dance about his skin. "You don't stand a chance without a quirk, Deku." He tossed the boy a mocking smile before launching towards him, only for the screen to cut to black.
The screen began to brighten once again, revealing a beaten and bruised Midoriya laying on the concrete - clearly only half awake. The sun beamed down on his crippled body, burns riddling his skin as the boy he protected cried and begged for him to get up.

Izuku, however, simply remained still, staring tiredly at the sky.
"Shouta," Hizashi said quietly, gesturing towards his hand.
Aizawa looked down to find that his knuckles were whitening as he gripped the side of his seat, teeth gritted. After a brief moment, he relaxed his hand, but didn't bother to hide his rage otherwise.
Not only did Bakugou use his quirk in public, but he nearly hospitalized a kid!
"Bakugou," he said in a calm voice, though it held an iciness that no one in 1A had heard before. "This is not acceptable behavior from a student, and if you ever dare to pull a stunt like that again, you will not see the light of day - much less the halls of U.A."
The blonde stared at the man with wide eyes before turning, clearly thrown off but refusing to show it. It most certainly didn't help that the majority of the room was looking at him with disgust in their eyes.
All Might, however, looked more pained than anything. He knew that they were childhood friends - that much Midoriya told him. He also knew that they didn't get along much anymore. But...
His heart ached with the thought that his protege had to go through such an ordeal.
"G-guys," Izuku spoke up, "Please. Kacchan's not like that anymore. I'm fine."
All Might turned towards the boy, a slight surprise visible behind his eyes. "Young Midoriya..."
"Little Listener," Hizashi said sternly, "Even if Bakugou has changed, his behavior is still in no way okay. Remember that."
The boy's brows raised by a fraction, bringing about an unsettling feeling to Aizawa.
"He's right, Midoriya," he restated. "You're not alone, alright?"
"Yes. If you're having any troubles, just let the U.A. staff know, and we'll deal with it," Nezu said with a small smile, somehow drinking tea that wasn't even worth asking about.
"Ah... Thank you," the boy nodded, though he still didn't seem entirely convinced - and that most certainly wasn't right.
Still, Aizawa simply sighed, turning towards the screen. He'd be lying if he had said he didn't shoot the occasional glance towards the boy, though.
Here's the sad truth. All men are not created equal. When I was four years old, I learned that some kids have more power than others.
The screen switched to middle-school Izuku, running through the streets. But that won't hold me back. If anything, it pushes me to do better!
"At least he knows that much," Aizawa sighed, lips barely twitching upwards.
On the other hand, All Might gave a warm smile, enjoying the slight relief that came with the boy's determination.
"You go, Deku," Uraraka smiled, playfully punching the boy in the arm.
"It's amazing how you're so filled with determination," Yaoyorozu laughed, and for some reason, the word 'Megalovania' popped into Kaminari's head.
Izuku blushed slightly. "I've got to have some, yeah?"
Mirio grinned. "Ah, the beauties of youth."
"Who are you?" Nejire snorted, "Maito Gai?"
Tamaki groaned. "Wrong universe."
Sero yelled back annoyedly, causing everyone to grow quiet. "Hey, I only have so much tape!"
He glanced cheerfully at the sky, speeding up to find himself at a villain attack. A shark-man growled, causing a grin to widen on Izuku's face. The screen then became green, displaying Izuku's title card.
