69 Chapter 68

It was midday in Musutafu and the weather was slightly overcast, making it a good day for indoor activity. Walking down the street was a group of Class-1A students from UA who had chosen to spend the day doing something fun together, seeing as how the following day they would start their training under a real Pro-Hero. It was their last chance to get some fun in before their schedules were monopolized by work.

So the six person group had decided to head towards the mall and see what they could find to do. Perhaps see a movie or something.

"Hey, did you hear about that weird island that appeared off the coast this morning?" asked Kaminari.

"Yeah, that was totes weird! And it has an entire facility on it as well!" opined Ashido.

"You think someone built it overnight?" wondered Kirishima.

"Well as far as we know, islands don't just sprout up without warning." responded Jirou. "Especially ones with a pre-built structure on them."

"I heard that the government has been looking into it, but apparently an unknown group has claimed the island is theirs and have been blocking access." spoke Uraraka. "What do you think Deku-kun?"

Turning to the green-haired teen who had remained quiet for the entire conversation, she noticed that his mind seemed to be somewhere else.

"Yo, Midoriya!" Kaminari called out as he grabbed the boys shoulder and gave it a shake.

"Huh?"

"You alright man? You've been spacing out for awhile now."

Midoriya blushed slightly as he rubbed the back of his head. "I-it's nothing... Just, worried about Iida-san is all."

The rest of the group gave a slight nod in agreement. They had invited Iida to come along with them, but he said he was going to see his brother in the hospital instead.

"I feel ya man." said Kirishima. "He acts like a robot all the time, but he's still a kid like us. He must be worried sick about his bro."

"Well he does look up to his brother as a role model." added Ashido. "I can't even imagine what he's going through right now."

"I wish we could do something to help him." spoke Uraraka as she clenched her fists.

"I'm sure the doctors are doing everything in their power to help him." noted Jirou. "It's not like we can do anything ourselves except be there for him when he needs support."

Midoriya nodded in agreement as he was tapping his chin in thought. "But... what if there was a way we could help him?"

"What? You got an idea?" asked Kaminari.

"Kind of. But I don't think you'll like it."

"Why's that?"

"Well, while we personally can't do anything to help, we do know someone who can."

"... Please tell me you're not suggesting what I think you're suggesting." spoke Jirou.

"U-unfortunately yes." Midoriya said nervously. "If his words are to be taken at their full worth, Kumagawa can turn anything to nothing. That includes wounds. We all saw what he is capable of."

"Okay, one; this plan is crazy. Two; Kumagawa seems about as stable as a house made of toothpicks. Three; this plan is crazy. And four; how would we even go about finding him?" asked Jirou.

[Well for starters I could just find you.]
