Chapter Text
Izuku doesn’t know why All for One told him to enter UA. Actually, he does know why.
All for One had told him to infiltrate the damn place, get information on All Might’s schedule, and act as an informant for the group All for One’s forming.
The problem is, is that Izuku has grown attached . Attached to his classmates, attached to his teachers. He’s grown far too attached.
Izuku grumbles as he sets off the delayed fire alarm. He has to sneak into the staff room to get that schedule. If he can do this, maybe then he can just tell All for One to fuck off so Izuku can sleep.
He slips into the empty staff room, sliding over to the desk All Might uses. Izuku pulls out his phone and snaps a picture of All Might’s schedule for the next week. He can’t hear much over the blaring alarm, but he can see a blackish mist forming around the door.
Great, the resident responsible villain was sent to UA.
Izuku curses and powers up his jump Quirk. He can reach the vents in time before Kurogiri actually sends someone into the room.
Izuku squats down, the rush of power into his calves and thighs giving him chills. He just hopes he doesn’t break his legs from the force of the push off like he did before. That would be hard to explain to Recovery Girl and his classmates.
He pushes off the ground, sending his body towards the vent cover that he grabs onto. He puts his hand around the corner of the vent, pulling his enhanced grip Quirk from the depths of his version of All for One. Izuku pulls the vent cover off, crawling into the vents. He slips the thin piece of metal back into place and welds it shut.
Now Izuku has to get the hell out of dodge.

Izuku is walking into class the next day. He knows what’s going to happen today. The class will have a field trip to some place off campus, All Might will be there, and the, ahem , League of Villains will attack. Izuku hates that name, it sounds pompous for a group of villains centered in Japan. Not to mention that it abbreviates to LoV, what the hell All for One. Did he let Shigaraki pick the name?
Izuku huffs as he sits down at his desk. He has to be careful at UA, he has them fooled that his Quirk is body augmentation. He has to be mindful of only using body augmentation Quirks and not his more, shall he say, flashy ones. It wouldn’t do to be exposed as a traitor because he accidentally burned a hole through a desk or wall when he sneezes.
He sits there quietly, waiting for Aizawa to walk in. Maybe he won’t have to deal with Bakugou bothering him for the day.
The bell rings, Aizawa rolls in, gives a speech about some fuck off place away from the main school site. Izuku only half listens, he’s only just begun to think of how he’ll explain to his classmates that he was a spy sent to help kill All Might. Hopefully Shigaraki, or better yet, Kurogiri doesn’t leave him with the heroes once the mission is done. Hopefully.

Everything’s gone to shit, Izuku finds out pretty fast. He’s singled out by Kurogiri when the class is scattered. It’s bad enough that Shigaraki started cackling when he saw Izuku.
Izuku can already tell that some of his classmates are suspicious of him. He shakes his head, he has to focus on getting Asui and Shinsou to safety.
“Fuck, fucking hells,” he whispers to himself. He glares out across the water. He’s grown attached. These idiotic hero hopefuls, they sucked him into liking them.
“Midoriya, you okay? Come on, me and Tsuyu are trying to figure out how to get off this ship. We could really use your help,” Shinsou says, pulling Izuku over with a hand on his shoulder.
They bang out a plan and the next thing Izuku knows, is he’s powering up the fire he keeps controlled.
He grins, watching small green flames dance across his knuckles. If he times this right he can split the water and maybe burn a few low levels.
“Whoa, Midoriya you have flames?!” Shinsou asks loudly. Izuku doesn’t reply, but his grin does get bigger. He’s smiling now, sharp teeth glinting in the light of the flames.
Izuku walks back a few steps, he pulls the enhanced speed Quirk to the forefront, along with super strength. He springs forward, pushing his legs to move faster, faster, faster . Izuku jumps off the railing of the boat, flying into the air. He readjusts and pulls his arm back.
Flames are billowing behind Izuku as he slams his fist into the water. A geyser of water explodes from the epicenter of his punch, hot steam coiling around him and diffusing through the air. A dense fog has overtaken the water zone.
Izuku feels himself be grabbed by Asui’s tongue and pulled away from the boiling water.
“HEY, FUCKERS!” Shinsou shouts in the direction of the villains. Many of the low level thugs and hired muscles respond, allowing Shinsou to trap them in his control. He orders them to all group together and start tying themselves up.
Asui swims them to the edge of the pool. Izuku almost thinks they’re done with this hell, almost .
Shigaraki is standing a yard away from the trio. Izuku can tell he’s smiling.
“Oh no.”
Izuku glares and pushes Shinsou and Asui behind him. He may be a traitor to UA, but he’s not letting his hero hopefuls get hurt by someone like Shigaraki.
Izuku pulls himself out of the pool, not taking his eyes away from the advancing Shigaraki. Flames flicker and dance across his upper body, Izuku is pissed.
“All Might isn’t here, Tomura . Leave. Before I make you.”
“Ahh, Izuku! Is that any way to talk to your leader ?” Shigaraki hisses, reaching for Izuku.
“Cut the shit. You and I both know that you’re only here to kill All Might. And look! There is no All Might here ,” he growls, grabbing Shigaraki by the front of his baggy shirt, flames flowing off his arms and across his face and chest. Shigaraki slams his hand onto Izuku’s wrist, grabbing on tightly.
“Why, Izuku, have you grown attached?~” Shigaraki purrs as his Quirk starts to burn through Izuku’s wrist.
“No-” yes, ”I haven’t. What are you jabbering on about now?” Izuku says, pulling his hand away from the blue haired man.
“You seem attached. You should know that even if All Might wasn’t here that lives would be lost. It’s only fitting that it would be some of All Might’s stu-” he’s cut off by Aizawa kicking him in the side. Aizawa’s glaring at Izuku, or he might be, it’s hard to tell with the goggles.
“Midoriya, there better be an explanation for this! Get yourselves to safety!” Aizawa yells, pursuing Shigaraki. Izuku nods, activating his super strength yet again and pulling his classmates out of the water.
“Come on, you heard him! We have to go!” he says, hauling them into his arms and sprinting away at breakneck speeds.
He’ll worry about the repercussions of talking to Shigaraki like that later. Right now, he has to help
his
hero hopefuls.
