Eraserhead slammed open the door without any preamble, quirk already activated even though he knew full well that it wouldn't have any effect on Izuku, "You're grounded."

(everyone snorted)

Izuku sighed in resignation, "I know."

(everyone snorted again)

Considering that they had just finished fighting a serial killer a few hours ago, he thought they were doing rather well, with the exception of maybe Iida, who was definitely the most injured of the three of them. Izuku had gotten out of the fight with just a few cuts and gashes from stain and the Nomu in addition to some road rash and bruising, while Todoroki had hardly been injured at all. Their miraculous evasion of injuries, however, wouldn't stop Izuku from being grounded for what he pulled.

In his defense, though, Iida deserved to be grounded too.

Iida: I certainly do...

"What were you thinking?!" Eraser yelled. "Are you aware that you're going viral right now?!"

Mic: Of course that's the first thing he says.

Midnight: Technically the first thing he said was that Deku was grounded but yes. Of course that's the first thing he says.

Izuku grimaced. He... was unfortunately aware of that fact. There was a reason all three of them had switched their phones to silent shortly after arriving at the hospital. That hadn't stopped one of the orderlies from asking for their autographs, but at least they were mostly able to pretend that the whole mess hadn't been caught on camera.

"Aizawa-sensei!" If he hadn't had both his arms heavily bandaged, Izuku had no doubt that Iida would be chopping the air sternly. "Such volume is inappropriate in a hospital, esspecially since it is still the middle of the..."

Bakugo: Oh you just tried to murder someone and you're going on about inapporiateness?! (Iida said nothing)

Aizawa turned his glare on Iida, "Don't even get me started on you. You're lucky I don't expel you right now. The only reason why I'm not is that Nezu said he's already taking care of your discipline, but as far as I'm concerned, you're on thin ice. Understood?"

Iida(meekly): Understood.

Iida shrunk down in his bed contritely, allowing Aizawa to focus his full wrath on his original target, "Back to you, Deku, what were you thinking?! You're supposed to be an underground hero and I know Nezu wasn't stupid enough to tell you to seek out the hero killer, so..."

Nezu: Excuse me of course I wouldn't no matter how smart I am.

Uraraka: And he wasn't tracking Stain he was tracking Endeavor.

Todoroki: Who was tracking Stain.

"I wasn't tracking the hero killer!" Izuku said quickly. "You know that if I had been, I would have called for the appropriate back-up before getting to the fight. We were just looking for evidence against Endeavor, but then the Nomus showed up and Manual was looking for Iida and we were hoping we were wrong, but..."

"Wait, what?"

Spinner: Wait they didn't- oh they didn't tell him.

Toga: Well that secret's gone.

Izuku froze and turned to look at Todoroki. To someone who didn't know him well, Todoroki looked as blank as ever, but to Izuku he looked... well, not blank. Shocked and confused were probably the closest emotions, but there was also a hefty dose of what Izuku could only describe as buffering.

Kaminari: Bluescreening too.

Endeavor: ...That is the most confused I have ever seen him.

"Uh..." Izuku smiled awkwardly, "... surprise?"

(everyone snorted)

Todoroki looked at him in confusion, "Why?"

"Uh..." Izuku looked at Aizawa, who just raised an eyebrow, making it clear that Izuku was on his own. Okay, fair, he deserved that. "Um, why surprise? Or why was I gathering evidence on Endeavor? Because I feel like those are two different questions."

Mitsuki: Just explain already Izuku.

"I believe Todoroki-kun wanted to know why you were compiling evidence against his father!" Iida said. "That seems a bit rude to do to one's friend, Midoriya!"

Todoroki: Normally yes but Endeavor is an exception.

"Oh no, it's fine." Todoroki assured him quickly, and Izuku was fairly certain that Aizawa had ducked further into his capture weapon to hide a snort. "But yes, the second question is more important."

"To get enough info to bring him down of course!" Nezu popped out from behind Izuku's pillow, nearly giving everyone except for Izuku, who had guessed he was probably there, a heart attack. Aizawa and Todoroki hid their shock better than Iida did, considering that he actually jumped out of bed. "Young Midoriya has been effectively running a smear campaign against the number two hero for weeks now, gradually chipping away at public opinion so we can completely destroy his career!"

(everyone jumped)

Komori: Holy shiitake mushrooms!

Power Loader: For the love of- Nezu stop doing that please.

Recovery Girl(scolding): You are going to give people real heart attacks. (Nezu just laughed)

Izuku grimaced again, "I, uh, I think he just managed to do that himself, though..."

"Don't sell yourself short, problem child." Aizawa huffed. "Those articles you wrote already destabilized his foundation. If people weren't already wondering about Endeavor's competence as a hero, his PR team could probably spin this whole thing as an unlucky break against a villain that's bested dozens of other heroes, but as it is, it's gonna be a scandal."

Dabi: Good.

Izuku looked at him in shock, which made Aizawa roll his eyes, "What? You didn't think I'd recognize your work, problem child? Honestly, I'm not surprised Nezu has you doing something like this in your private lessons."

"You wrote those articles?" Todoroki stared at him with wide eyes. "Really?"

Inko: Yes he did.

"Midoriya-kun!" Iida looked positively scandalized. "You are supposed to be a hero and Todoroki-kun's friend! What could ever possess you to destroy his father like..."

Hawks: Someone explain to Iida that he deserves it.

Gran Torino: Someone tell Iida that he just tried to kill someone.

"Murder?" Izuku reminded him, Iida flinched. "You don't have any room to talk, Iida. And the situation is a lot more complicated than that, and it just got a lot more complicated..."

"Why?" Todoroki asked. "If you were trying to destroy my father's career, good riddance, by the way, shouldn't it be a good thing that the !(*%#@ did the work for you?"

Nezu: Yes but things are moving far too quickly.

"We had a plan!" Izuku whined. "We were going to gradually lower public opinion over the course of several months to limit the impact on society, but now..."

"Now there's no way that Endeavor's disgrace won't have a ripple effect." Aizawa rubbed his eyes tiredly. "Wonderful."

Todoroki: Oh.

"It's even worse than that." Nezu pointed out, making himself comfortable in the pile of blankets on Izuku's bed that he'd somehow managed to steal without anyone noticing. "Endeavor may as well be the hero killer's final victim."

Spinner: What does he mean?

"But Midoriya saved him." Iida pointed out. "He didn't even have any lasting injuries."

"No, but Stain managed to shout his ideals to the world, thanks to that video." Izuku sighed. "Endeavor's incompetence at fighting him simply proves his point and will make it more likely for people to buy into Stain's opinion that hero society is corrupt. Basically, society was always going to get shaken up, but because of the hero killer's society, that change will most likely be channeled into villainy."

Tsukauchi(sighing): Why can't we ever catch a break...

"Very good!" Nezu said proudly. "Or, well, not good, but of course Midoriya is correct. We'll have to manage this very carefully in the coming months, of course, and see if we can't minimize the damage."

"Problem child." Aizawa sounded like he was ready to crawl into this sleeping bag and never come out and it would all be izuku's fault. "I thought I told you that your private lessons with Nezu weren't to learn world domination."

(everyone laughed)

Izuku gave a guilty smile, "I'm not trying to take over the world, Eraser... I'm just trying to control society's perception of things."

Shigaraki: Sure. Definitely doesn't sound like manipulating all of society.

Aizawa sighed loudly and turned to look at Nezu, "I suppose this means we're pushing the dorms forward."

Mina: Wait already?

Kirishima: Huh weren't they building the dorms in a previous chapter?

Bondo: Wonder why they've made it sooner in this world.

"Of course!" Nezu replied cheerily. "They'll be ready to open by the end of internships! These three have provided the perfect excuse for the change, of course!"

"Wait, dorms?" Izuku's eyes widened. "Of course! We won't need to worry about Endeavor getting angrier and hurting Todoroki because he won't be able to get to him!"

(everyone finally realized and agreed it was a good idea)

Toga: Oh that's perfect!

"Exactly!" Nezu smiled. "Though I would encourage your sister to move out or move in with your brother for the time being."

Todoroki nodded, noticeably lighter as Izuku realized he'd been worried about reciving the brunt of Endeavor's poor publicity, "She's a smart girl, but is Endeavor going to agree?"

Endeavor: ...I'm not going to have a choice am I?

All Might: Not if Nezu has anything to say about it.

Nezu's eyes twinkled ominously, "He won't have a choice. He can't afford to have any more negative publicity right now."

"Is anyone going to explain what's going on?!" Iida exclaimed. "I am highly confused."

(everyone snorted)

"We're switching UA to the dorms to get me away from my *(&%$# of a father." Todoroki said simply.

(everyone snorted again)

Izuku had to poorly stifle a giggle both at Todoroki's blunt reply and at Iida's shocked reaction. Of course, Iida had a wonderful family, he probably didn't understand why Todoroki would be so okay with Izuku destroying his father's career. Oh well, maybe by the time they were done, it might make a little more sense.

Iida: Someone really needs to explain to the other me...

Uraraka: Yeah definitely.

"But..." Izuku frowned slightly, "we were attacked during a UA sanctioned internship. Won't that call the school's ability to protect us into question?"

Recovery Girl: Normally yes but you forget who else was with you.

"You were also saved by the UA principal!" Nezu said gleefully. "I've already announced the press conference!"

Aizawa: Of course you have.

"Of course you have." Aizawa groaned. "I'm not sure I even want to know what the hell class is going to get up to now that they'll be living together."

Vlad King(remembering all the chaos that happened with the dorm situation): Oh no you don't.
