Aizawa's important words

The next day

Bullet was sitting in front of the TV with his arms crossed… or rather, he was locked down.

Aizawa wrapped him up tight as he saw Bullet escaping UA to go and fight that Nomu on TV!

So he brought him back to the rest as they held him down, watching Endeavor fight the Nomu on TV!

Endeavor got clipped by a flesh whip by the Nomu and Bullet struggled in the cloth, saying "Let me go! Go help! This hero, no!?" Aizawa said angrily "You're going to go and what?! Fight the Nomu?!" Bullet retorted angrily, "One more person to help, make difference! We all go and save people! What hero for?! To watch on TV?!"

He twisted his neck and shouted loudly "GET BACK, BASTARD!" as Maskless' voice disappeared in a blink. Bullet stretched the cloth around him as the rest held him down, shocked to the extreme!

Aizawa was shocked for another reason… he.. He just forced Maskless back on his own!

Bullet struggled wildly, growling "Endeavor need help! People need help! We're heroes! Damn!" Eijiro, Denki, Tsuyu, Ochako, Ida, Shoji, and Oijiro hesitated before letting go of him, saying slowly "Sensei… he's right…"

Aizawa frowned at them, saying "You all don't have your licenses, you'll be arrested. Are you alright with that?" They all bit their lips and Shoji grit his teeth saying firmly "I don't care! I came to be a hero, watching like this, what's wrong with me!? I'll get arrested, as long as I helped!"

Aizawa looked at the rest who nodded firmly, the others started letting go and Katsuki walked away. Izuku was the other one holding Bullet, asking "Kacchan?" Katsuki laughed, "Where am I going, you wanna ask? To get my fucking costume! AHAHAH!"

Shoto bit his lips and froze everyone, much to their shock.

They all looked at him and he said gently, "I appreciate it… I know there's part of you who want to help because he's my father in addition to Bullet's words… But-" he clenched his fists and added firmly "Please, believe in him!"

Aizawa raised a brow with a look of approval. Bullet snorted and the ice cracked, Shoto patted his shoulder, saying "Bullet, please. Even if we're heroes, we can't be everywhere at once… Not to mention, the other heroes are heroes for a reason, right? What's the difference between you rushing back and forth everywhere to save people, and trampling on their pride?"

Bullet frowned slightly, replying "Bullet hero to help people. Pride trampled, just that. I don't care. I don't want attention or fame or anything like that. Bullet only want to save people. Watching like this… Even if All-Might in his prime on screen, Bullet go. A lot of Heroes there, yes. Trust Endeavor, of course I do! Endeavor a big jerk, but no matter what, still real hero."

He snorted smoke and his arm smashed out of the ice, "Nothing to do with Endeavor and Heroes on scene. See danger, go and help. This not Shoto's fault, Bullet is very, very stupid. Most likely in the future, no sleep, live on street, still save people. I have no plans, no schemes, no career paths, I only want to save people until I die. This is what Bullet believe hero to be. This why I say very stupid. Know not good thing, but can't help but do it!"

He curled his lips and smashed the ice around him. Shoto clenched his teeth, saying "But you can't save everyone! So what are you going there for!? That Nomu will kill you! Seriously!"

Eijiro frowned angrily, "Shoto! What the hell, man!" Bullet smiled, saying "I know." Shoto froze and Bullet smiled kindly at him, "Bullet know Shoto worried about Bullet life. I know I'm not strong enough. Every fight with a villain could be my last… But I can't help do." Bullet's hands were shaking as he grinned, "See this? Hands shake, very scared of Nomu."

Shoto grabbed his collar, shouting in his face, "Then why go?! You're not stronger than any of the heroes out there! Are you going to be cannon fodder?! You stupid fuck! You're scared and shaking! What are you going for?! Are you seriously tired of living?!"

Bullet smiled kindly, "Why? Because Bullet say 'No fear'. Thumbs up no fear for everyone, Bullet the most scared of anyone. Tell them No Fear but too scared to take action? Hahahah…" he patted Shoto's hand, nodding "Because I'm scared, I have to go. Overcome fear and grow, show the world that nobody needs to ever be afraid again."

Shoto let him go in a daze and Bullet snorted happily, "Haha… If I die, you have big funeral, right? Hahaha! Momo's family really rich, shouldn't be a problem." as he walked to his room.

Shoto's hands trembled as they clenched. He looked at Aizawa and asked sadly "Am I wrong?" everyone looked at Aizawa, who shook his head softly, explaining "You all know Bullet was abandoned, right?" They nodded.

Aizawa went on, "No family records, no birth certificate, no dna records, no fingerprints, no dental scans… Nothing. He was wiped from the World." he dusted his hands, adding "Just like that. His background and all of your backgrounds are very different. You could say Bullet lived in fear for nearly his entire life. For him, Fear is something very very scary and only by overcoming that fear can he step forward from the past."

Aizawa waved, "Not to get philosophical, but Bullet is bound by the chains of fear from his past. Ask him about anything before he was abandoned and he'll tell you the same thing. He can only see black smoke figures. He doesn't even remember his name. The Quirks of his parents. What they look like. What Doctor diagnosed him… Nothing. As far as he's concerned… He was born in this world to be a hero even if he dies trying, he doesn't have anything other than that."

Aizawa shook his head, sighing "Before you ask, of course he cares about you all. Otherwise, he wouldn't even speak with you. Look at yourselves for a moment, how many barriers have you overcome? How scared are you of villains, really? I know Pros that hesitate far more than all of you. For him, his way of helping you is taking the first step forward to light the way, if there's a trap… It was him, not anyone else. Do you understand? He has no meaning in life other than being a hero."

Aizawa tilted his head and added a tidbit, "I once heard him talking about his parents. He knows they abandoned him because of the way he is… He added that he hoped they were doing well." The class shook and stared at Aizawa in shock as he clapped his hands, walking after Bullet.

After inspiring the children, it's best to stop that wild animal from biting an 18 wheeler.

He had borrowed a book on teaching children from All-Might. Not students but your own children… It wasn't very good.

Izuku's face scrunched up and he wasn't looking too good.

Yuga's face also darkened considerably…

Aizawa caught Bullet from jumping out the window in a new costume and pulled him back. Aizawa said, "Watch first." as he held a phone. Bullet took off his mask and looked at the phone, watching Endeavor get up.

He went after the Nomu again and Hawks helped him as he burned the Nomu to a crisp, shouting "Plus Ultra Prominence Burn!" he fell from the sky and landed on the ground but still stood up and held his fist in the air.

Bullet looked at Aizawa, who sat down on his bed, patting next to him.

Bullet pressed on his chest plate and his costume retracted back in. Aizawa asked in surprise, "Mei?" Bullet nodded in silence. Aizawa rubbed his head and smiled, "You know, you really worry me a lot."

He chuckled, "I didn't think I would have this much trouble with a kid I picked up from the alley." Bullet looked at him and Aizawa smiled at him with closed eyes, "You're a real idiot, but I can't help myself from caring about you. It's really strange. You're impossibly stupid, the only thing you seem to be able to do right is hurt yourself. Every fight you fight in, your body gets destroyed, but you keep coming back. Every single time."

Aizawa snorted, "Maybe you sparked my admiration or something mushy like that… I'm not gonna comment on your hero beliefs, or anything about your past, or some other thing that could possibly change your self-mutilating ideas. You're scared of staying the same as you were a long time ago so you charge into fear and overcome it through sheer will. One day you'll get yourself killed."

He rubbed Bullet's head and smiled, "I just hope that day won't be before me." Bullet fell silent with a hard to look at face, Aizawa chuckled, "You're a hero, there's no doubt about that. Actually, you were a hero the moment you saved Akira in the entrance exam. You're only proving it to the world now. I know you won't change, I know my words won't have an effect on your thoughts… so I'm not gonna tell you to stay out of trouble or to stop looking for opportunities to save people and get yourself hurt."

He raised a finger and smiled "Listen carefully, there's only one thing I want you to remember, okay?" Bullet looked at him and Aizawa smiled warmly, "Just be careful, okay?" Bullet swallowed and teared up as his lips quivered, he nodded and cried, wiping his eyes, "I will. Thank you… Dad."

He hugged Aizawa, who held his hands up before patting his back.

"No problem, kid."
