Another Packmate

Izuku had returned to his new school, alongside Tooru, and, following a rather tense reintroduction, they were out in recess. Tooru wanted to see how good her invisibility was now, and Izuku wanted everyone to train their quirks so that they could all be better heroes.

Following a teacher almost passing out from Eijirou falling out of a tree, and successfully passing out when Izuku accidentally short circuited the lights, Tooru was coiled around a tree, Izuku sitting to the side, knowing he would be able to easily track her, he watched Shouji create a large number of ears and mouths, creating a basic method of echolocation. Shouji was having some trouble, looking around, somehow not noticing that Tooru was three feet directly above him

"Izuku, a little help?” Shouji asked, turning to face his Cephaloid friend, extremely confused by Tooru’s vanishing act

"Calm down, Mezou. Just keep your chin up and be positive” Ibara said, smiling ever so faintly, as if she was in on a joke.

"What do you me- Oh.” Shouji said, before looking straight up. Tooru smiled and floated down beside him, as she returned to visibility.

"So, Hagakure, what’s the best thing about your change?” Kirishima asked, once more with less subtlety than a hammer to the kneecaps

"Well, the extra arms help a bit, but it’s hard, because I don’t have extra hands. I’m jealous of you, Shouji” tooru said, pouting heavily, her four arms crossed in front of her chest

"Haha, kneel before lord infinit-arms” Shouji declared, somehow sounding both enthusiastic and apathetic

"Kids, come inside! We have a special guest for class today!” Their teacher called from the building.

"Coming!” The quintet called in unison, as they made their way back to the classroom. Waiting inside was

"ALL MIGHT!!” Izuku shouted, with an extreme level of glee, his eyes sparkling as he had to be physically dragged to his desk, and almost had to be held down to his chair

"AHAHA! YES, IT IS I, ALL-MIGHT! AND I AM HERE, TO HELP!” All Might said with his extreme enthusiasm. “YOU SEE, CHILDREN! I CAME HERE TO CHECK UP ON ALL YOU FUTURE HEROES!!! BUT REMEMBER, ANYONE CAN BE A HERO, YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE!!” All Might added, his trademark smile still present.

"NOW, I’M SURE YOU’VE HEARD ABOUT SOME PEOPLE HAVING VILLAINOUS QUIRKS. THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE CASE!! THERE ARE NO TRULY HEROIC OR VILLAINOUS QUIRKS, IT IS WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO WITH YOURSELF THAT MATTERS! EVEN THOSE WITHOUT QUIRKS CAN BE HEROES!! I THINK THERE WAS A QUIRKLESS HERO OVER IN KOREA, I BELIEVE HER NAME WAS THE FOX QUEEN” All Might announced, before looking to the door.

"I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO INTRODUCE A NEW PAIR OF CLASSMATES FOR YOU ALL! THEY’RE THE DAUGHTERS OF SOME FRIENDS I MADE IN AMERICA! I’M CERTAIN YOU’LL ALL BE GOOD FRIENDS!!” All Might announced, as a pair of girls entered the room. The first one was entirely ordinary, a faint nervous look upon her face as she looked around

The second new student had a pair of bovine horns on her head, as well as unguligrade hooves for feet, and a grin on her face

"[Hiya! My name is Pony Tsunotori! I hope we can be friends]” the hooved girl said, unsurprisingly in English, with a strong southern american accent. She trotted over to the table that Izuku and his friends were sat at, and made herself known by plopping herself down right next to Kirishima.

"M-my name’s Melissa… I-I’m quirkless…” the ordinary girl muttered, hands crossed in front of her.

"YOUNG MELISSA, WHY DON’T YOU GO SIT WITH MISS TSUNOTORI?” All Might asked, trying to push Melissa to make a new friend. “NOW, CHILDREN. I’M AFRAID I MUST BE OFF! CRIME NEVER RESTS, AND NEITHER SHALL I!” he added, as with a faint gust of wind, All Might was gone, the drapes flapping in the wind.

Izuku had, unsurprisingly, already made Pony into a friend by the time Melissa had walked over, a wide grin on his face.

Melissa, however, was slightly intimidated by the large group. Despite being a prodigy, she was absolutely terrible when it came to meeting new people

"Hiya! My name’s Tooru Hagakure!” the four-limbed girl announced as she pulled Melissa to the table, and sat her down.

"Well, mom wanted to throw a party, because it’s Tooru’s birthday this weekend. You two should come!” Izuku announced, with his overly friendly tone, treating these two new classmates as if he’d known them for his entire life.

"A-are you sure?” Melissa asked, looking down, twiddling her thumbs as she did so.

"Awwww, C’MOOOON! It’s gonna be so much fun!!” Tooru said, as she did not take no for an answer, content to drag her two new friends kicking and screaming to her party if she had to

"[Did you say PARTY? Am I invited?]” Pony asked, possessing a rather limited understanding of japanese, but still willing to learn

"[you’re both invited]”Ibara muttered, in half-broken english.

"So, what do you two wanna be?” Eijirou asked, keeping his quirk on to build his stamina and strengthen his hardening. Rather smart. For Kirishima

"[I’M GONNA BE THE BEST HERO!]”Pony shouted, a grin on her face as she did so

"I wanna go to support. Just like dad. Supports are heroes to heroes.”Melissa said, as she finally got a smile on her face, opening up to her new friends
