Summary: There may or may not be some Time-Traveling juju going on.

Ashes (Title May Change)

The door slammed opened, causing most of the occupants to start, when they turned to the doorway, it took most of them all they had not to laugh.

Most of them.

Shouta glared darkly at Hizashi, and Nemuri, which is unfortunately ruined by his rainbow colored….everything.

"Who was it this time?" Ectoplasm asked, voice just a hint of laughter.

"...Paradise."

"Ah, that sounds about right," Thirteen hummed, "they really love colors."

"Yipee for them," Shouta snarked as he closed the door,

Midnight and Present Mic were still laughing, Mic had fallen out of his seat, Shouta kicked him on his way to his own.

"A little surprised you ended up running into them," Snipe mused, "they don't pop up during the day."

"Was surprised too," Shouta sighed flickering out of strain of dyed hair from his face, "almost got them too, but like always, they weren't alone."

"Oh."

"Pretty sure it was Rhino, got me from behind, then Paradise let loose the vomit of color."

By now, Mic, and Midnight had settled down, Mic back in his seat and turned his chair in Shouta's direction.

"What were they doing?"

"Looks like they were searching for something, I went back after I lost them, but didn't see anything of notice."

"Well, better luck next time." Mic grinned, grin growing at the glare, unbothered.

Sighing, Shouta leaned back against his chair, he scratched at his stubble. He wasn't really that annoyed with the mess that was his clothes and hair, he was used to it at this point, as it wasn't the first time, and it'll come out in the wash and a good shower like all the times before. No, he was annoyed that once again a member of Zoo slipped through his fingers.

And he really did think he had Paradise this time, so much that he forgot they came in pairs, and Rhino had got him good too, he was going to be sore for a while.

Shifting in his seat, sat back up properly, and booted up his computer, as he waited, his mind went back to Paradise and Rhino, specifically who they were affiliated with.

Named by the media because of their animal themed hoodies and masks, the Vigilante group called Zoo, popped up about two and a half years ago, stopping petty crimes in lesser Hero populated areas, and evaded any Hero or law enforcement who tried to apprehend them, Shouta included.

No one knew what they wanted as they never made any intentions known like most vigilantes, though it was a safe bet to say it was most likely to help people when Heroes couldn't, no one knew their Quirks because none of them used them, or were seen using them, genders were unknown because of a voice disruptor, nor was there a definite number of how many there were.

Right now the confirmed count seemed to be about six, identified as Rhino, Paradise, full name Bird of Paradise, Peacock, Chameleon, Moth, and Wolf. Privately, Shouta counted seven as sometimes when he's in pursuit, he'll felt like eyes were watching him

The newest batch of 1-A had a lot of potential, a lot more than the last class, with an eagerness he hadn't felt in a while he sent all eighteen of his students to the showers, ignoring Iida's grumbling about logical ruses. He made his way back into the building just as students were returning from Orientation, he passed by two boys who were lagging a little behind, stopping when the one of them squealed.

"You're Eraserhead!"

Shouta blinked, surprised, being a Underground Hero meant not being identified with barely a glance, especially by a kid that was talking a mile a minute—and listing off info that was both amazing and creepy, holy shit what was happening?!— with green hair that was curly and looked so fluffy that Shouta had to reminded himself wanting to run your fingers though a minor's hair was border-lining on Bad Touch territory.

"Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! Can I have your autogra—wait where's my notebook! Toshi-chan,my notebook!"

Dazed, and a bunch of confused, Shot looked over at "Toshi-chan", who despite looking amused at his now flailing friend, also looked like he was going to drop at any moment now.

"I think he needs a sleeping bag."

It was a little concerning, which said a lot coming from him

"You left it in the classroom remember." Toshi-chan finally said, patting green hair when his friend gave a small sad sound.

Shouta was a little envious.

Eventually the two hurried off, the fluffy kid apologizing for his freak out, to which Shouta waved off. Continuing on, he made a mental note to ask his colleges about the fluffy kid, the information vomit had been rather impressive.

I have something for you

Tsukauchi yelped, and coffee went everywhere, from his open window, there came a snicker. When he was sure he wasn't going to burn his skin off, he turned and froze

Hanging upside down from his open window, was that a grappling hook? Was Zoo. Not one of the usual members, but a new one, dressed in the usual dark colored clothing with an embodied animal on the hooded shirt, and painted on the otherwise white mask.

"Name's Cockatoo."

"….Nice to meet you?"

Cockatoo chuckled, swinging a bit on the rope, then something was being tossed at him. He caught it, it was a USB.

"Boss figured you might want what's on there."

"And what's on it exactly?"

Cockatoo tilted it's head, "And spoil the surprise?"

"Right," the Detective mumbled turning the device over, he then looked up at Cockatoo.

"You wouldn't mind turning yourself in would you?"

Deadpan, there was a deadpan stare going on behind that mask.

"….Right, thought I ask."

Cockatoo snickered, then the hook let go of whatever it was attached to, and Cockatoo dropped, Tsukauchi yelped, and shoved his head out the window and looked down, only to see a flicker in the shadows.

Fluffy, real name Izuku Midoriya, age 15, was a General Studies Student coming in first in the General Studies Entrance Exam, had apparently over a dozen of analysis notebooks, was sun incarnate. Childhood friend to not only Hitoshi Shinso a.k.a Toshi-chan, but one of his own students, Bakugo.

Lunch Rush's network was amazing.

Fluffy was also Quirkless.

The first Quirkless student in U.A…..How did he miss that?

"You were going on three hours of sleep when it was announced." Thirteen told him.

Ah.

That would explain it.

"We're in Act 2 now"

"I didn't know you liked Shakespeare"

Scorpion snorted before barking out, "Eel, straighten up that form, or you'll be running laps!"

Eel squeaked, and quickly straighten his form, glaring at the snickering others. Eagle chuckled, before turning his attention back to Scorpion.

"We'll have to be careful now, can't afford any slip ups." Scorpion sighed.

"You worry too much," Eagle chuckled, "we got this, they got this."

There was suddenly loud and familiar explosion, followed by smoke and maniacal laughter.

Scorpion gave Eagle a look.

"…..They sorta got this."
