Chapter 22

After the Quirk Assessment, everyone pitched in to buy pizza for the whole floor. They all gathered downstairs in the living room and watched movies on the big T.V. screen. Izuku was talking to Todoroki and Kirishima about the movie.

"See! He's got to have a quirk! That kind of stuff just doesn't happen!" Eijirou shouted as they watched him throw daggers at assassins. "Just because he is good at knife throwing doesn't mean he has a quirk." Shoto replied as he grabbed a slice of pepperoni pizza. "It's John Wick, who knows if he has a quirk or not. Though it would be interesting if he didn't, shows how far a human can get with just no powers." Izuku replied. "Will you boys shut up! I haven't seen this one before! "Momo yelled at them.

The door to the dormitory opened revealing Katsuki and Kyoka. Everyone ran up to them asking Kyoka what happened. "Are you okay?" "How are you feeling?" "What happened?" Kyoka was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Katsuki helped clear the group.

"HEY! Relax she just fainted. The sound thing Deku did made her dizzy!" Katsuki said taking control of the situation.

"Yeah." Izuku spoke up as he got in front of Kyoka and Katsuki. "I'm really sorry Kyoka. I took inspiration from your powers and decided to see if I could do the same! I didn't know it was going to harm you." Kyoka smiled. "Don't worry dude, I'm fine just tired. I'm gonna go to bed early, see you guys tomorrow." She left the crowd and everyone returned to the movie. Katsuki took a seat in an armchair and grabbed a slice of pizza. He looked around seeing that everyone was still here.

"Wait...Who the fuck did Aizawa expel?" He asked. Eijirou Kirishima came behind him and smiled, "Bakubro, nobody got expelled! Aizawa said that because of everything that happened we all get to stay!" Denki laughed. "Yeah right, the only reason why is because Aizawa got his grimince blown off by Izuku's fast ball!" Several of the classmates padded Izuku on the back, infuriating Katsuki. The blonde was about to say something when Izuku turned around. "I couldn't have done it without your help Kaachan! Thanks for the recharge." Izuku said as he smiled. This brought Katsuki to a loss for words. In a huff he got up and left the party to head upstairs. Eijirou followed him to the elevator, getting in before it closed.

"Hey you okay Bakubro?" Eijirou asked sympathetically.

Katsuki gave a low growl. "Will you STOP CALLING ME THAT!"

Eijirou backed up and frowned. "Dude-Katsuki I don't know why you're in this mood but it ain't gonna do anything for you. I'm just trying to see if I can help."

Katsuki just kept looking forward at the metal door of the elevator. "No, you're just trying to be fucking nosy! You don't even know me!"

Eijirou yelled back at him. "Hey asshole! I'm trying to get to know you! I'm going to have to see your fucking face for three years of my life! Hell you fucking saved my life! It may have been Izuku who distracted the thing but he didn't pick me up and drag me out. He didn't kill a remaining two-pointer that came at us from the sidelines while Tenya held me up! You got a fucking head injury from that! So excuse me for trying to be friends since you act like you clearly don't need one!" The elevator opened and Eijirou walked out. He just got to his door when he heard. "He always fucking does this…"

He turned to see Katsuki with his back to the wall, slid down and had his knees pressed against his head. "Deku says he doesn't try but whatever this fucking power he has, he uses it and I feel like he waves it in my fucking face! He threw the ball because of me! I blasted him like he wanted just like I did in the tent after the entrance exam. That's why I'm mad. I want to be the Number One hero but with him. I might as well just screw off."

Eijirou walked back slowly to Katsuki. "Bakubr-Katsu..." Katsuki looked up at the new nickname. "I don't think he cares about who is the Number One hero. He, like us, is just happy to be here. Clearly you and him have some history and I can understand that sometimes friendships do end in rivalries. "Do you actually think he is doing this to what? Make fun of you? Frankly what he said down there was a complement. He still sees you as someone to rely on, if not for him he couldn't have thrown the ball...If not for you one of us could have gone home. So don't see him as this sword hanging over your head. See him as someone who wants your help and you know that he will help you, just like I will." Eijirou offered his hand down to Kastuki.

Katsuki took it and Eijirou pulled him up and gave him a hug. It was unexpected but Katsuki took it, deciding to hug him back.

"Night Katsu." Eijirou said as he walked to his room and closed the door. Katsuki just shook his head. "Katsu...Seriously…"

Katsuki instead of going to his room went up to the rooftop to get some fresh air. When he opened the door however he saw that he was not alone.

A familiar face was there looking over the railing. Katsuki looked confused. "What the fuck are you doing here?" He asked as purple eyes and hair faced him. "I'm sorry what?"

"I asked what-" His eyes went pale and Katsuki was as still as a statue. Hitoshi smiled.

Well that was easier than going to his room. I need to be quick this time, no time to play doctor. Should be easy with him though and with practice he will be mine within the hour.

The bar was quiet. It was always quiet. With Kurogiri cleaning glasses and Shigaraki chugging back a bottle of Saki. The night was quiet and midnight had already passed. Usually Shigaraki would be in bed by now, taking off the hand to let Tomura rest or at least search the web till he blacks out from exhaustion.

Suddenly the television flickered and fizzled to life. Shigaraki and Kurogiri watched both wondering if it was Sensei only to be confused when the emblem of a black sun which lay behind a set of crossed red naginatas came into view. The Misogi Organization could contact them?!

On the speakers came the voice of the Advocate, no picture this time. "Good Morning, as it is past midnight. I would like to inform the League of Villains that two spies have now been able to infiltrate Class 1-A and will be able to assist in the infiltration and assault mission at U.A. These two will only know when to turn against their own when a que has been played over the loudspeakers."

The sound of a heartbeat came from the loudspeakers of the television.

"A recording has already been emailed to the computer we were granted access to. It is also very crucial these spies are under a form of hypnotism. They will not activate nor attack until the sound is heard and they will not follow any order except to attack their own. All For One has also been notified. Thank you and I wish you the best in our endeavor to destroy the Symbol of Peace."

Shigaraki looked up at Kurogiri, the insidious grin was as clear as the starry sky. "I cannot wait for the day we kill him! I will bring his head back as a trophy and watch as the world cries and crumbles before US!" Kurogirl nodded. "The end of All Might; the end of peace and justice and the rise of the League. We shall truly make a statement with his death, most fitting to break his body and his spirit among these 'future heroes'. Let them go up against real villains…"

Hitoshi took a breath, the guise of multiple characters was difficult to do. As far as the League knew he was the Advocate, a representative of the Misogi Organization. A group which in truth didn't exist…

But finally once this was done and everything was transferred, he would no longer have to deal with this. He will show everyone that even someone as low as he can make or break anything. From the greatest of heroes to the lowest of men, even nations.

Somewhere in his heart he hated himself but this was what he needed to do. To have a new life, a fresh start.

As Shinsou packed his computer and voice distortion device. Just as he was about to leave the rooftop door opened. Seriously?! Who could come up here again! I do not want to use my quirk again, I'm already tired from what I did to Mr. Bakugou.

Hitoshi Shinsou turned around to see the curly green hair and freckled face of Izuku Midoriya. "You're not from our dorm...What are you doing up here?"

Fuck...Well here goes nothing…

"Yeah, you're right I' m from Class 1-C, General Studies. I apologize that I snuck in. It's just that I applied for this but failed the physical part of the Entrance Exam. They offered me in General studies because I aced the written test. I...I'm up here because I just wanted to see what it's like, I guess." Hitoshi said.

It wasn't a total lie, he did try and fail...The reception was better for the encryption device connected to the satellite.

"How did you even get up here?" Izuku asked as he closed the door behind him.

Relax Hitoshi, try to talk, not control... Hitsohi thought.

"A girl I know got me access in exchange for showing off her invention…" Hitoshi said, hoping he did not reveal too much. Izuku smiled. "Mei?" Hitoshi was surprised. "You know her?" He asked. "Its a long story but she helped me too in exchange, apologies. Um...I'm Izuku Midoriya." Hitsohi chuckled. "Yeah I know who you are." "You do?" Izuku questioned.

"A U.A. hero course entrance exam taker who not only gets second place but also makes two scenes by first kissing a 3-A U.A. High School Student and also destroying Power Loader's Zero Point Gigantic Robot? Yes you are talked about very much and I also heard that your quirk landed an Ear jack user in the Nurse's Office today." Hitoshi said as he looked down past the railing and at his watch.

Damn.

"It wasn't like that! I just was using my power with sound and she got affected due to her quirk....Yeah. Your right. I didn't know what it could do and decided to try it now. Look what happened." Izukiu said in a defeated tone. "What's your name?" Izuku asked."Why?" Hitoshi said as he began to rumble through his bag, hoping he carried a second piece."I just want to know...trying to be friendly."Izuku replied. Hitsohi gave a huff and looked up at Izuku. "Are you going to tell anyone I was here?" He asked.

Izuku was silent for a moment.

He hasn't tried to attack me and I don't see him doing anything bad…

"No, I swear! Izuku promised. "Good." Hitoshi spoke as he found a second blunt and pulled out of his bag with an old engraved Zippo Lighter.

Great! Drugs! He's doing drugs... Izuku thought.

"I have a card for it." He commented on seeing Izuku's expression change. "It helps me relax and sleep. I have insomnia." Hitsohi turned around pointing to the bags under his eyes. He then placed the blunt between his lips and tried to strike the metal against the old flint. Flick, no. Flick, no. Flick, no. Flick-

"Damnit. Here!" Izuku went up to him and pulled the lighter out his hands. Cupping his hand around it and striking it just right the flame came easily. He held it out to Hitoshi who leaned it letting the herb and paper burn. Pulling back he sucked in that smoky substance, it was a godsend to his head which was plagued by migraines and sleepless nights. "My name is Hitoshi Shinsou." He spoke. "Apologies for smoking it here, I was going to leave for my dorm but then you arrived and just a minute ago the staff sent out their watchmen."

Izuku got closer to the railing. "Watchmen?" Hitsohi nodded, ready to explain. "Why do you think we are in dorms free of charge? Ever since the bombing in Fujinomiya happened, they decided to keep a closer eye on their students. Every few hours four of them take a look around and then return. Being caught outside past hours is a disciplinary action but they mainly do it in case some villains try to tamper." Izuku thought for a second. "I remember the news on the bombing...Who was hurt again?" Hitoshi smiled, "The same girl you hit." Izuku's face drooped.

Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. Izuku could feel the panic in his chest rise.

Hitoshi walked up to him and grabbed his shoulders. "Breathe...Breathe...No one is hurt....No one is dead. You did nothing wrong." After a few minutes passed, Izuku with even breath looked up at the other student. "Thanks Hitoshi." Izuku said. "No problem, I've had enough of them to learn how to fix it. Here." Hitoshi took the blunt from his lips and passed to Izuku.

"N-No thanks. I-I uh...I don't partake." Hitoshi laughed at Izuku. "It's not gonna kill you and trust me it comes your nerves. I assure you you're going to be fine. Besides, I'm here." Izuku looked down at the lit piece. Hoping that he could get some kind of relief from his recent stress induced panic attack, Izuku took a chance and sucked in the smoke.

He coughed crazily, while Hitoshi urged him to do some more. After another hit, it became easier. It was weed, but it can loosen the tongue a bit.

"Hey. How do you know Mei?" Hitoshi asked. Izuku was a bit dazed sitting on the concrete floor but he was able to talk."Um...I...eh." Well somewhat. Hitoshi kneeled down and said "Picture the words in your mind and then say them." Izuku gulped, an novice learning from an expert. "She called the day after the results came in wanting to personally design my costume. I told her I already had a costume made for me as a gift from a friend of the family. U.A. are supposed to tailor them so she said she would get it cleared if she could take a look at it and add some things to it. I said yes as long as I knew what it was and it didn't ruin the outfit." Izuku spoke, his tone soft, no longer jumpy or quivering.

Hitoshi looked down again to see the lights of the Watchmen returning to the school building.

Finally.

Hitsoshi looked to Izuku. "I'm going to head out now. Walk me to the door?" Izuku slowly got up and they rode the elevator to the first floor. As Izuku opened the exit for Hitsohi he asked an odd question. "Will I be seeing you on the roof tomorrow?" Shinsou smiled, "Maybe. What do you wanna smoke weed and talk some more?" Izuku gave a shy shrug and nodded.

What am I doing? Hitoshi Shinsou asked himself..

"I'll be there at ten at night and we can talk then. No more staying up till two in the morning." Izuku smiled at that. "It was nice meeting you!"

"Nice meeting you too Izuku Midoriya. Have a good night." Hitoshi said as he made his way back to his dorm, careful to dodge any laser alarms or any hidden cameras.

Once inside his dormitory, Hitoshi laughed! The task was complete, with these two everything will appear as the league wanted it...Wonderful.

Shinsou himself was surprised, he was making friends. Just with his enemies...

Meanwhile in the after hours at U.A.'s development studio, tomboy Mei was placing the finishing touches on the skin tight black and gold costume.

Brilliant! Now just to have it in the case for tomorrow's class. I hope he loves it...
