Chapter 1: The Double S Squad

General studies, the class that would've been boring enough to make his mind explode. It was also the only class he would've qualified for. Even if he did graduate from Yuuei and become a pro, he'd never be recognized as a real hero. His efforts and his gallant goals would be criticized and he'd be labeled as a villain. No matter how hard he worked, he'd always be the villain.

That's why today he wanted to try becoming a member of a group that could still legally help people, but also stay covert. Somewhere where his beliefs and his quirk would be protected and unjudged by patronizing glares. The group at the top of his list was one he'd found out about accidently through his family. They had been hired by his dad long ago to protect their family from a possible targeted attack by villains. He knew that this group never failed because they were extremely skilled at their job. He vowed to find the group and dedicate himself to a cause that would be beneficial to all parties. It would cost a lot less too.

Shinsou thanked each god individually. He thanked them for allowing his memory to expand far enough back in time to pull out the group's name. The organization he applied for was called the Headquarters for Incorporated Secret Service, or just HISS for short. He was glad to find out they were accepting teens for a sort of long-term internship where they would work in a group of six other teens and they would prove their trustworthiness through action and the occasional interview, but it was a secret group after all. Getting in wasn't easy.

Luckily, his status as an early customer made the process a bit faster because they didn't have to run the usual three hour background check on him. After a few searches online and a pat down he was allowed to enter the facility and get a waiting number to put him into an intern squad. Apparently, he was a good applicant because his waiting number was one. A finned guy told him to work as a runner until they made an official squad. Shinsou knew it would be a while before he got a team, so he tried his best to improve himself by following orders and contributing to the organization's goals in whatever ways possible. What he didn't know however, was that the higher ups had seen his hard work and would reward him for it. The reward came as not only a surprise, but a lifetime of satisfaction.

...

Midoriya Izuku used his analytical skills to determine that he was not fit for Yuuei. Although their teachings could be useful to counteract his greatest weakness, their students followed strict guidelines. It simply wasn't the type of mentoring he was searching for.

He also deduced that graduates from the school faced the most criticism, as they were expected to have a certain amount of prestige. He'd already been judged enough in his life, so more wasn't welcome. He knew what he really needed, and that was EMT training, but his wallet was as dry and cracked as a desert. So instead, he sought a temporary job that fit his values and paid well; and, like most people who joined it, he found out about HISS on accident.

Midoriya had been researching field nurses, when he scrolled down to the bottom of a free private hospital's sponsor page. In the middle was a sponsor listed to have paid almost seventy percent of the hospital's fund. Curious, he had clicked on the link and was led to an encrypted file. He automatically thought that the sponsor was probably a classified government agency. For some unknown reason, his brain prompted a challenge, to decrypt the page and learn about the deep-pocketed organization that had been extremely kind to a free hospital and would cleary never be able to get anything in return.

It took him four days of sleepless hacking and encryption research to decode the page. When the numbers and jiberish finally disappeared, he had to blink a few times to make sure he wasn't dreaming. The page was long. It had a bunch of non-profit organizations on it that were all funded, and sometimes even founded, by a covert government society known as HISS.

Once he saw their cause, their goals, and their wallets, he realized this was something he'd like to join. His determination to integrate into the group increased when he saw that their requirements didn't have anything on quirks. The group was empty of quirk discrimination.

...

"Have you found which of our applicants we are giving to Shinsou?" A dark-faced man nodded in confirmation and slapped a handful of papers dramatically onto the table.

"These all appear to have clean backgrounds and they fit the requirements." The figure sitting at the table scratched his chin and looked over the files with quick scrutiny. He placed the thickest file back onto the desk and slid it over to his employee.

"Are you sure about this Midoriya fellow? His reasons are too…heroic." The employee tapped his finger on the green-haired boy's photo.

"Do you remember that sponsor page we made a few years back?" The boss man smirked and declined slightly in his chair.

"You mean the impossible bait encryption that our hacker team set up?" The dark-faced one nodded.

"Yeah…" He paused and grinned widely. "Well, this kid decoded it in four days with no prior knowledge." The employee received the rare pleasure of seeing his bosses eyebrows shoot up in surprise. He slapped his hand on the table and regained his serious composure.

"Yes, he'll definitely come in handy."

...

Shinsou entered a room with six other people waiting impatiently. He had worked as a runner for a while now, and he suspected that it was probably late summer (that would mean that Yuuei's summer training had finished and the provisional license exam was fast approaching). The older HISS member that had led him here swished a hand through the air.

"This is your team now. Your first assignment is to come up with a group name or collective name you'd like to use. Make sure to include a reference to HISS. Enjoy your leadership. Have a nice day." The older dude finished his half-assed introduction, and scurried out the door. Shinsou was left to ponder what he had just heard while the other six people in the room all stared at him expectantly.

"Uh….I guess I'm your leader now, so let's come up with a name." He used his usual montone style of talking and got an equal amount of enthusiasm from his group. They all looked at each other wearily and Shinsou realized what the issue was. They were strangers to everyone but themselves. It was time for a little introduction. He pushed a pink-haired girl to the front of the room and let her begin. She laughed hysterically and adjusted the pair of goggles that covered half her face.

"Hello there team! I'm Hatsume Mei, as many of you already know, I'm an undercover agent who works at Yuuei! I hope my information and my babies can be of help to this group! I hope I get to experiment on you! I-I-I mean….. experience lots of things with you!" Her introduction was kind of scary, but the group still clapped pathetically. Shinsou hurriedly pushed up the next person.

"Ugh. Hello." A white-haired male with azule eyes looked at the crowd with unmasked disdain. "I'm Atisu Raita and I hate everyone, but I want money. I'm only here for the money, so don't try being my friend or anything." As he stepped out of the spotlight, Shinsou caressed the bridge of his nose. Was this really the group he got? These were supposed to be the future elites. He shrugged off his disappointment and shoved his next victim to the front.

"Good morning kids!" A cheery cat-looking women waved to the teenagers happily. "My name's Shiretoko Tomoko, but most people call me Ragdoll. They told me I'm supposed to mentor you or something, so be good!" Shinsou could almost hear all the internal sighing. That was the cheesiest speech he'd ever heard. Before his pride could completely fall apart, he pulled the next member up.

"Greetings! I'm Monoma Neito and I might have to agree with Atisu on the people aspect, although I know I'm better than him, so….. don't mess with me!" He gave off the same vibe that a creepy doll did, fake, but somehow frightening. When his disturbing introduction ended it was relieving, and it almost lessened the weirdness of the others. The next member walked to the "stage" on his own. He wore a uncomfortable looking coat with false fur on the shoulders.

"Sup! I'm Yoarashi Inasa and I'm also an undercover agent, but I'm stationed in Shiketsu. You guys are all so cool! I'm excited to work here!" His smile seemed genuine, but Shinsou knew that if he was here, and working as a spy, then he was probably talented in the acting department. He finally had a team member he might even be proud of.

Finally, a short guy spoke nervously to his peers,

"H-hello, I'm Midoriya Izuku and well, I guess I'm here because I w-want to be. Uh….I also need the money." The boy's eyes skimmed cowardly over his future partners. Shinsou honesty didn't know what to do with Midoriya, he seemed so…...flimsy. Once again, he reassured himself by thinking that HISS wouldn't hire these people if they didn't have a reason to. He took back his spot and gave a sloppy summary of himself.

"I'm Shinsou Hitoshi and I'm your leader, I guess. I'll do my part if you do yours. Thank you for your time. Now let's choose a name already, anyone got any ideas?" He waited for his inquiry to register in their brains. His gaze rested on the scaredy cat in the corner who shakily rose his hand. Shinsou rolled his eyes at the kid's formality.

"Yes Midoriya?" Everyone's attention focused on the young intern as he stuttered and blushed.

"H-how about the Double S Squad?" Shinsou quirked an eyebrow curiously and gestured for the boy to continue.

"It st-stands for Secret Service Squad, and we could also call it the SSS or Triple S. Those all sound c-cool right?" The indigo-haired leader debated the name silently. It wasn't terrible.

"All in favor of the Double S Squad raise your hand." Everyone except Monoma put up their vote. The blonde glared at Atisu as if he'd somehow betrayed him.

"What? I like Triple S, it reminds me of my bank vault password."

End, Chapter 1

AN: I haven't completed this yet(obviously), so there's some parts of the challenge that haven't been addressed. I will get to them in the next three chapters(roughly). Hope you enjoyed, thanks for reading!
