Toshinori was in trouble. He could tell just by the way that Aizawa glared at him as he passed by him in the hall on his way to Principal Nezu's office, but he was the symbol of peace! He refused to shrink back just because Aizawa's glare was terrifying! He also refused to let his knees tremble like some nervous middle schooler as he walked. Sure, it wasn't a good sign that he'd come back from Gran Torino's cabin to a voicemail from Nezu requesting he come see him before resuming classes, but he wasn't a child anymore, he was a teacher and therefore shouldn't be afraid of being called into the principal's office.

Right?

Kodai: Considering who our principal is...

Recovery Girl: Oh yes, he should be very, very afraid.

Nezu opened the door right as he was about to knock, which was as startling as it normally was, but not abnormal behavior for the principal, but something about his smile gave Toshinori chills, "Ah, All Might! Please come in!"

"Of course..." Toshinori stepped inside and closed the door behind him. "Principal Nezu, sir..."

"Would you like some tea?" Nezu interrupted, already pouring two cups before Toshinori had a chance to respond. "How was your visit with Gran Torino?"

All Might: Very enlightening.

Toshinori sighed and accepted the tea, "It gave me a lot to think about."

That was the honest truth of it, wasn't it? He wanted to protect Deku from the dangers of heroism, but at the end of the day, why was that? Gran might not have been the nicest about it, but he'd had a point when he'd said that Toshinori might simply be projecting onto the poor boy. He was the number one hero! He... if things had happened differently and he had never met Nana, would he have been able to push through like young Midoriya had? Would he have been able to overcome the limitations and obstacles that faced the quirkless not only in an industry that wasn't designed for them, but also in the world at large?

All Might: No... I wouldn't have... young Midoriya is just special in that way that not many others are.

Unfortunately, Toshinori had to admit to himself that no, he would never have been able to do what Deku was doing. It was frightening and humbling to admit, but while he still had doubts that it was even possible, he was having to slowly sort through his feelings and realize that in addition to fear and concern, when he thought of Midoriya actually becoming a quirkless hero, he also felt at least a smidge of jealousy. He didn't exactly know what to do about that.

Toshinori shook his head and took a sip of his tea, "If you don't mind my asking, sir, why did you want to talk to me?"

"Ah! Of course!" Nezu smiled and clapped his paws together. "Deku knows about One for All!"

Dabi(snorting): Well that's blunt. (Nezu just laughed)

Toshinsori choked on his tea.

(Nezu laughed even harder)

"He figured it out months ago, apparently." Nezu continued, unfazed. "I'm not surprised, in fact I half-expected it, but it is still quite the accomplishment! There was a bit of a situation while you were gone, on account of the fact that young Togata has started to develop the quirks of the past holders, but we made a plan to use moving forward that you'll need to approve, but we don't expect any other surprises, at least in the coming weeks."

"Uh..." Toshinsori had thought his health problems were mostly in his intestines, not his ears, but apparently not. "I'm sorry, could you repeat that."

Mirio: I'm getting five new quirks...

Nezu grinned, "Togata manifested the quirk of one of the past holders while you were gone."

"How?!" Toshinori abandoned his tea. There wouldn't be much of a point to drinking it if this conversation was going to keep going the way it had been. "One for All is a strength stockpiling quirk! It makes the user stronger and neither Nana nor I ever developed other quirks! She would have told me if something like that were possible! I... are you sure?"

Ectoplasm: Considering black tendrils were literally spawning from him then yes, he's very sure.

Nezu shrugged, "Look a look for yourself."

He flipped the screen of his computer around and played a short video, which seemed to be taken in one of the testing rooms that the support course normally used for experiments. Togata was standing front and center and attempting to knock a soda can over using thick black strings that were growing from his hands. He wasn't successful, but his control of the strings seemed to improve the more he kept the new quirk activated.

Nejire: Look Mirio, you're getting better at it!

Mirio: Yeah, I guess I am. Gee, I hope the other quirks don't manifest in accidents like Black Whip...

"...Oh."

(everyone snorted)

"The new quirk is called Black Whip." Nezu informed him. He slid a three-ring binder across the table for Toshinori to look at. "This is all the information that Deku was able to compile on the past holders. I would advise studying that thoroughly, as we have no way of predicting when or if Togata will develop each of these quirks. I have my own copy, as do Togata, Aizawa, and Midoriya, obviously."

Toshinori was grateful he'd set aside his tea, because this time the only thing he choked on was blood, "Aizawa knows?!"

Aizawa: Yes and you really need to get that blood thing checked.

Well, that explained the glare he'd gotten that morning. Perhaps he should have told the man earlier, but it was supposed to be a secret and Toshinori had thought he'd had it handled. After decades of having this quirk, he should be the expert on it, but apparently he'd been slacking in his duty toward Togata. He wasn't looking forward to staff meeting.

"Togata manifested Black Whip in the middle of a lesson that Aizawa was assisting with." Nezu said matter-of-factly. "Both he and Togata assumed it was a villain attack at first. Thankfully, both Deku and I recognized what was happening and we were able to resolve the situation quickly, but Aizawa refused to leave without an explanation, so we decided his assistance would be valuable, especially since these new quirks seem to be difficult to control when they first manifest."

"That makes sense..." Toshinsori took a deep breath and decided to deal with that later. "Is that everything?"

All Might(shivering): Never ask that to Nezu...

Nezu's eyes twinkled and Toshinori felt his stomach sink, "Actually, there is the matter of final exams..."

Midoriya: Oh yeah we had to fight him. Wait, I wonder how that's going to go with me quirkless.

"Okay, what's going on?"

Izuku looked up from his English notes to see Shinso standing on the other side of the kitchen table, looking even more tired than usual, "Um... I'm studying for finals?"

Mei: That's not what he's asking about, hacker-kun.

"Haha." Shinso deadpanned and pulled up a chair. "No, I'm talking about Dadzawa. He's been more pissed than usual the past few days and I already asked Joke, who also doesn't know what's going on. You're practically his kid, so what's up with him?"

Inko: For the last time he's not anyone else's kid but mine and Hisashi's.

"Um..." Izuku couldn't exactly tell him that Aizawa was mad because All Might passed on a super secret and super dangerous quirk to one of the third years without properly informing him of the risks or helping him control it.

Bondo: I'd say that sounds like something from a story but seriously why does everything weird just keep happening?

Aoyama(smiling at the readers): Because we're in a story and our classmate is the main character.

"Wait, does he know that you call him Dadzawa?"

Aizawa: I do now. (his kids all shivered. Note to self, only call him that when he's definitely nowhere near them.)

"Don't change the subject, Midoriya." Shinso said. "What happened?"

Izuku sighed, "Can I just say he's pissed at All Might and leave it at that?"

Shinso thought for a moment, "Actually, yeah, that checks out. He's always complaining about the big blonde oaf. What'd he do?"

All Might(choking on blood): Wha- Aizawa- oh nevermind.

"Something stupid." Izuku shrugged. "So nothing too out of the ordinary."

(All Might spat up more blood)

"Cool." Shinso was quiet for a second. "So... should we prank him?"

Joke(gasping in delight): Yes, go prank people!

"Who, All Might?" Izuku chuckled. "Or Eraser?"

Shinso shrugged, "Either, but I was thinking Aizawa. What better way to distract him from whatever is annoying him than annoy him even more?"

Aizawa: Oh no.

Midnight and Mic: Oh yes! (secretly they all thought to themselves that maybe this would help distract them from the whole Oboro/Kurogiri thing. They still didn't know what to think about that.)

Izuku stared at him, "I really don't think introducing you to Ms. Joke was a good idea."

Joke(cackling as Aizawa groaned): Too late!

"Too late." Shinso smirked. "So...?"

Izuku tried not to give in, he really did, but he probably needed a distraction at this point as well. In fact, the whole class kind of did. Their finals started tomorrow and everyone was stressed and overworked, especially with the threat of not being able to go to the summer camp looming over their heads. Izuku felt a small smile make its way onto his face. Yeah, they could all use a bit of a distraction.

Aizawa: Problem child...

Midoriya: I'm sorry...

Izuku shut his English notes and stood up, "If we're going to do this, we're going to need some help."

Shinso grinned, "I'm in."

Izuku shook his head and led the way into the living room, where the girls were studying for match, "Yaomomo? Can we talk to you for a minute?"

Aizawa: Yaoyorozu!

Momo: Not me sensei, so you can't blame me!

Yaomomo looked up, slightly startled, but it only took her a moment to snap into class rep mode, "Of course! Follow me."

She ignored the curious looks from the rest of the girls and silently led them to her room. Once they were alone, she shut the door and turned to them, a worried look on her face, "What is it? Are the two of you having problems adjusting to the dorms? Is someone hurt?"

Hagakure: No, they need you for a prank idea.

"It's nothing like that! Don't worry!" Izuku waved his hands frantically in front of him to dismiss her worries. "We, uh... well, we need your help. You can make anything with your quirk, right, as long as it's not alive?"

Yaomomo blushed slightly, "Yes, I can."

Izuku glanced at Shinso and gave a mischievous smile, "So if I were to give you a pattern, could you make clothes with them?"

Midoriya: Patterns- oh. Oh.

Mitsuki: Do I even want to know?

"Quite easily, yes." Yaomomo nodded. "What did you have in mind?"

"Alright class, it's time for lights out..." Shouta trailed off as he took in the scene.

The entire class was watching a movie. Some of them were on the couch or sprawled on the floor or even on each other. Bakugo was even there, lying partially on top of Kirishima, which Shouta would have been almost proud of if it wasn't for what his problem children were wearing.

Mt. Lady: Wait can it be...?

Every single member of class 1A was wearing an identical pair of kitten pajamas.

Mei: It's the kitten pajamas!

(everyone burst out laughing as Aizawa looked like he wanted someone to dig his grave and bury him in it.)

They had each styled them differently, of course, in a way that showed their personality. For example, Kirishima had ditched the matching shirt and paired it with a tank top, while Yaoyorozu was wearing the two piece set exactly like it would be advertised in a retail magazine and Uraraka had managed to get her hands on a matching headband with the same print.

Shouta immediately rounded on Deku, who was looking at him with a @$#*(-eating grin, which only emphasized the fact that he was wearing pajamas of his own, "I trusted you."

Midoriya(giggling): Sorry sensei...

"Aw, come on, Dadzawa, don't be like that!" Shinso interrupted, standing up and striking a pose. "Don't you like 'em?"

Shinso(snorting): Whoops, called him 'Dadzawa'!

"Yaomomo made you a pair too!" Kaminari gave him a thumbs up.

"Go get dressed!" Mina yelled. "It's picture time."

Shouta sighed, but had no choice but to take the offered bundle of clothes that Yaoyorozu was holding out to him. What was he going to do with these kids?

Midnight: Adopt them!

"I hate all of you."

1A: We love you too, sensei!
