Yaoyorozu ran into the dorm's sitting room. "You guys won't believe it. I went to the spare room, the one we use for storage. Well, it's no longer for storage."
"What are you talking about?" Kirishma looked at her in confusion.
"Do I have to break it down for you. We're getting a new student and it's a girl."
Mineta's head snapped up. "How do you know?"
Yaoyorozu huffed and put her hands on her hips. "The room is decorated for a girl. And you're not allowed in there." She pointed a finger at Mineta and Kaminari. She knew that the creeps would try to sneak in there.
Tsu walked in and stood behind Yaoyorozu. "I made sure they couldn't enter. Ribbit." A tired looking Sero tumbled into the room.
Hagokure jumped up and down. "Yay! Another classmate! I hope she's friendly."
"I hope she's hot." Mineta mumbled underneath his breath. Kaminari nodded his head in agreement.
"I can't wait to see what type of quirk she possesses."
"Quit being a damn nerd!" Bakugou hollered at Midoriya. "I'm going to bed so keep down or I'll kill you all!"
...........
The next day, class 1a found themselves with the same twenty one students.
"I thought you said we were getting a new student!" Mineta hissed at Yaoyorozu.
"Everyone, take your seats!" Iida came into the room.
"So lively." Ashido commented.
Mr. Aizawa came into the room followed by Midnight. "Listen up. Midnight will be teaching your class today."
"What about All Might?" Midoriya asked, concerned for his favorite hero.
"He's busy." With that, Aizawa walked out of the room.
Midnight taught for about twenty minutes before she decided to change the course objectives for the day. "By now, all of you have your provisional licenses but not all of you have a hero name picked out." She pointedly looked at Todoroki, Hitoshi, and Bakugou. "I want all of those who don't have a name to pick one today."
"Flash Murderer!" Bakugou shouted.
Midnight glared at him. "I told you last time. No names with murder, kill, or die in them." Bakugou leaned back in his seat with a snarl.
"I would still like to use Shoto." Todoroki still had no idea what to use as a hero name and thought that his name was for the best.
Hitoshi held up a white notecard. Midnight bounced on the heals of her feet, a wide grin covering the lower half of her unmaskunmasked face. "Puppeteer. That's a good one. Right on the nose for you."
Bakugou sat in silence for a while before he sat up straight. "Bomb Boy. If I can't use any of the names that I want, then I'll use Bomb Boy."
"I love it!" Midnight exclaimed, wrapping her arms around herself.
"Yeah dude, that's a good one." Kirishma gave him a thumbs up.
Midoriya leaned toward Bakugou. "Are you sure you want to go with that name?" Bakugou just stared straight ahead. "I just didn't think you would go with the name that El..."
In a flash Bakugou's hand covered Midoriya's mouth. "Finish that sentence and I'll kill you! Don't ever say her name out loud!"
"...uh, bad break up?" Kirishma asked.
Bakugou removed his hand from Midoriya's mouth and crossed his arms over his chest. He turned to face the front of the classroom.
Midoriya answered Kirishma for him. "She's my cousin. She used to have a huge crush on Kecchan when we were little."
"That's so sweet!" Hagokure wrapped her arms around herself, though no one could see her doing this.
"Why don't you want her name mentioned?" Tokoyami found it strange that Bakugou had covered Midoriya's mouth right when he was going to say her name. Many students looked on in curiosity, their thoughts similar to Tokoyami's.
"He must have feelings for her." Ashido teased, knowing this would cause Bakugou to scream out the reason.
Bakugou fell for it. "I do not! I don't want anyone to say her name cause she would somehow hear it and show up!"
"She lives in America." Midoriya pointed out. He was pretty sure that his cousin wouldn't show up just because her name was spoken out loud. "She won't just magically show up. I'll prove it. Elaina! Elaina!" Midoriya said before Bakugou had the chance to cover his mouth again. "See."
Bakugou started to relax in his seat when the voice of All Might floated through from behind the closed door. "Are you sure you want to do this? You can always start tomorrow."
"I'm sure." The voice drifted through the door and to their ears. The bell-like voice unmistakable after all the years.
Midoriya winced, believing that he was the reason behind Kecchan's worst nightmare surfacing. He glanced in Kecchan's direction to find him standing on his seat prying the window open.
"Mr. Bakugou, please sit down!" Midnight's stern voice shouted at him.
"Kecchan, I'm sorry." Midoriya's apology did no good.
The rest of the students were concerned with the sudden change in Bakugou and Midoriya. They all had their suspicions as to what had caused this change.
...........
Elaina reassured her father. She knew that he was nervous and unsure of what to do. But more than that, he was terrified. Terrified at what the other students would think when they found out that he had a daughter.
Shaking her head to rid herself of the emotions that she felt from him, she pushed open the door. On the other side of the door was the hero known as Midnight standing in front of the class. She also spotted Izuku, who was attempting to stop a student from jumping out the window by pulling on his shirt. The fleeing student's spiky blonde hair and the snarl that seemed to be permanently fixed on his face were features that she could never forget.
A sudden wave of fear slammed into her, along with wonder, curiosity, and some nasty feelings that she wanted no part of. She shook her head and approached the two boys of her childhood.
"Izuku!" She wrapped her arms around her cousin. "I missed you!"
Izuku returned her hug. "I missed you too."
A throat cleared from behind her. "Do you two...know each other?" Another wave of pain.
She wondered why her father was feeling that way but smiled instead, playing oblivious. "He's my cousin."
Her father's face fell. He looked between the two at a loss for words.
"I see you're already causing trouble." Mr. Aizawa, who also happened to be Earaserhead, walked into the room.
"Sorry." She and her father said at the same time.
"Come with me, Toshinori." Aizawa walked out of the room, expecting her father to follow him. Her father spared a worried look at the two of them before he left.
"Would you like to introduce yourself." Midnight smiled at Elaina.
She walked to the front of the class and bowed. "I'm Takahashi Elaina. As I mentioned earlier, Izuku is my cousin. It's a pleasure to meet all of you." When she finished her introduction, she found a seat in the back of the class. Bakugou flinched when she walked by him. This could be interesting.
.... . . ....
Class was finally over and Elaina found herself in the dorm. It was her first time being there. Everything in it was huge. The rooms were larger than what she was used to. It felt surreal. "I still can't believe you transferred to U.A. I didn't think that was possible." Izuku stood beside her, talking as if she was listening to him. It actually took a while for Elaina to register that he was there beside her.
"Sorry, what?" She continued looking around, eyes wide in amazement.
Izuku opened his mouth to finish whatever it was that he had been talking about but Uraraka stopped him. "Let her get settled in first."
"Yeah, you're right." He mumbled. Elaina didn't miss the light blush that spread to his face.
Elaina asked Yaoyorozu if she could show her to her room. When she opened the door to her new room, it was as if she had been transported back to her room in America. Up against the wall was the white wire-framed daybed that she owned. Her sea green comforter set was neatly placed on the bed, way neater than what she had ever kept it. Various posters of her favorite bands hung on the walls and all of her sketchbooks were neatly placed on the bookshelf. The only thing that was new was the desk that her mother had bought for her for the new school year.
"Good choices in bands." Jiro commented from behind her.
"I love them. Do you listen to a lot of music?"
Elaina jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "She's totally into music! You have to check out her room!" Hagokure practically shrieked.
Jiro played with the hem of her leather jacket, a blush creeping onto her face. "It's nothing much." Her voice was just above a whisper. She could feel how much music really meant to Jiro.
She felt a buzz from inside her pants pocket. Digging out her phone, she read the text that her dad had sent. "Awe. You're smiling like an idiot. Boyfriend?" Elaina's smile fell away at Ashido's question. She hadn't even realize that she had been smiling.
She shook her head. "It's my dad."
"Oh." Ashido and Hagokure both sighed in disappointment.
She typed in a quick reply before explaining things to her new friends. "I never knew my dad. That's actually the reason why I'm at U.A. So I can get to know him."
"Oh, my gosh! That's so cool!" Yaoyorozu gave her a quick hug. "If you ever need any help or if you just need to vent, we're here for you." The girls nodded in agreement.
Elaina felt Izuku's confusion and excitement before she heard him clear his throat. "Your mom told you about your dad?"
Elaina beamed at her cousin. Grabbing him by the wrist, she pulled him into her room. "Oh my gosh, Izuku. Mom told me everything about him!" She led him over to the bed where they sat down. "It's been so weird but really awesome. I mean, I still don't know how to talk to him, but great finally having a dad."
Izuku chuckled. "I don't think I've ever seen you this excited. Well...except for maybe when Kecchan showed up to your fifth birthday party."
Elaina remembered that. The day before her fifth birthday, she had hunted down Bakuguo and practically threw the invitation at him. When he had shown up in his little black tux that his mom had forced him into, she felt like she could have flown to the moon. He had screamed out threats the entire time but she knew that he had secretly enjoyed it. The memory caused her to laugh out loud. "Yeah. He was a very interesting person."
"Yeah. And his quirk and the control he has on it is amazing."
Elaina punched her cousin in the arm. "Do you only care about quirks?" She teased him.
Izuku fidgeted then turned red. "It's a good thing to observe a person's quirks and to take notes. That how you can find its strengths and weaknesses."
He suddenly looked at her, his brown eyes peering into her blue ones. "Who's your dad? I would like to meet him?"
Uh-oh. She wanted to tell him. She literally told him just about everything but she knew she couldn't tell him this. Not yet. Her dad had so much fear coursing through him at the thought of his students finding out. She couldn't do that to him. She would wait to tell Izuku and the rest of her friends when her dad felt more comfortable with the idea. Plus, she wanted more time to get to know him without being asked a million questions by outsiders. "Maybe later. I want to get to know him first." It wasn't a lie, not really. Just a way to stall for time.
Izuku gave her a warm, knowing smile. "Take all the time that you need. I know it has to be weird for you."
They talked for a little while longer. She asked him questions about the course work and the teachers. He asked about her quirks and what she could do with them. She had two quirks now, well, technically she's always had two, it just took longer to realize that she had the second one.
A knock sounded at her door. It opened revealing Iida. "Midoriya, the guys and I were wondering if you wanted to do some training? Just us guys." He emphasized when he saw Izuku getting ready to ask her if she wanted to join them.
"Go ahead." She told him. "I kinda just want to wander around and get to know the place while it's still daylight out."
"Okay. Let Yaoyorozu know if you need anything or if you want someone to show you around." With that, he got up and left, following after Iida.
