Hello, I am avv90. Do I post often? No. I write Bts fanfiction now. Get with the program kids. Which by the way- is super good. But, nonetheless, it is time. I am sick. AS fuck. It is rainy. Weather and my health have aligned and I am here for the update. Is she long? No. But she is a promised court case. Enjoy.

Izuku wasn't the best at entering the courtroom, well- firstly because people knew instantly who he was. So, there was always a bit of- a measure of speaking with the judge over the matter. Making sure no bias would take place with the juries so that was a thing. So, Izuku always got there early. Today, was no different. He arrived early and popped in to get a cup of coffee next door. He went straight to the courthouse after. His briefcase was at his side, slapping his leg as he walked. Izuku smiled at the guard outside, giving him a small nod as the door was opened for him. Izuku walked slowly to the room. The door opened again, walking in slowly. Eyes moved to him instantly. He could feel the air in the room turn tense. Giving a small smile, to the people in the room.

"Morning," He chocked out. He took in a deep breath, moving forward to his seat. Izuku placed his coffee and briefcase down. He sat down. Murmurs around the room behind him made him bit his lower lip.

"Good morning, Mr. Midoryia." He turned his head to the side, catching sight of the prosecutor besides him.

"Morning," Izuku nodded to him, "Mr?"

"Minoru." The smaller man smiled at him, "My third time against you," Izuku's mouthed opened, nodding. He couldn't this man at all. Not in the slightest. Oh, well.

"You've won?" The purple haired man's eyes were darting around the room.

"No." He let out bitterly, "N-not yet anyways." His voice was breaking. Izuku nodded,

"Good luck with that,"

"So- not looking to settle?" Izuku paused for a moment,

"I don't feel like we need to." Izuku smiled at him, "Or do you know something I don't?" Mineta stared at Izuku,

"You seem cocky- did last time too." Izuku crossed his arms over his chest,

"Do I?" He scratched his cheek, "Didn't mean for it to-to feel as if I was." Izuku let out, "I don't want to seem disrespectful."

"It seems as if you are." Mineta shrugged, "My client is coming in a wheelchair, yours is in chains for the first time ever- might want to change the way your acting." Izuku's eyebrows moved up,

"The tables have turned," Izuku moved his hand to his mouth wiping it. "Have they not?" He gushed a little.

"It has," Mineta smiled, "Which is why- my office will be opened later- for all any deals you'd like to make." Izuku nodded,

"Sounds great… I'll let one of my assistants know." Mineta drew his eyes closed,

"Well, best of luck." He stretched his arm out to Izuku, who stared at it for a moment. Why was he trying to shake Izuku's hand? Most of the other prosecutors avoided- looking into his eyes, touching him, speaking to him, and his favorite- breathing around him. Yes, someone came in with a mask. Izuku racked all these wacky notions up to some very- terrified and skeptical people, who think that everything in this world is achieved with some magical powers- and not hard extensive research, and actual talent at their jobs. "What's wrong?" He asked Izuku. Izuku could digress, but overall- what harm was there to touch this weird man's arm? So, Izuku moved his hand up- shaking this guys hand.

"Good luck," Izuku returned. Mineta moved to his own table at the other side of the courtroom. Izuku finally settled in his seat, taking up his coffee. He tipped back his drink, staring at the wall. It took a while, Mineta's client was wheeled in. He could feel a hushed tone run through the room. Mineta drew up a smirk to Izuku. Izuku lowered his cup of coffee, looking around the room. It was hard to read the room. They all got the feeling- that he was the villain, but- he was hurt. Izuku looked over at the seat beside him. Where was his client? The door to the side was thrown open- there he was! Chained up. Well… Izuku pressed his lips together. He had served villains. He gritted his teeth, won't be any more different than that… right? He shrugged it off, the guard moving his client to the seat beside him. Izuku smiled at him,

"Nice to see you again Tensei Iida." The man stared at Izuku.

"We saw each other twice." Izuku nodded, seeing where his eyes moved to. To the man across the room. Izuku gave him a faint smile,

"Let's not give death glares alright?" Tensei stared back at him,

"He tried to kill me-"

"And you beat him into a pulp. I think that's even in my book." Izuku took in a deep breath, "But right now- you need to look like a good kid-"

"What does that mean?" He gave a look of confusion, Izuku nodding.

"Well… I'm going to need you to look like-like you do when you are doing an interview for your hero thing-"

"An interview?" Izuku nodded,

"Yes!" He smiled, "Just keep that up- and I will get through the rest of this, alright?" Tensei glare was harsh at Izuku,

"My mother said you were the best." Izuku's hand wiggled up, doing a so-so sign.

"I'm gonna do my best." He lowered his head lightly, "So, just- look nice." Tensei's glare softens, his lip pouting a bit.

"Fine." Izuku sighed. His client was a moron. Thank god. He just needed to do what he always did. It would go well. After a while, the judge came in. She took her seat, waving her hand to Mineta and Izuku. Both the lawyers stood from the seats, approaching the bench. She moved her eyes directly to Izuku.

"I've heard about you." Izuku nodded, "No tricks- no quirks. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, your honor." He smiled at her, "I have said it before, I am quirkless." She looked him down,

"I've heard that too but the rumor going around- is that it's undetectable." Izuku sighed,

"I've heard that as well." He spoke slowly, "But… I can rest assured- I don't have any abilities." He nodded, "I have my papers with me if you need to see them?" She shook her head,

"That won't be necessary Mr. Midoriya." Her eyes drifted to Mineta, "This will be a fair trial between us gentlemen. No tricks, nothing but the truth." Izuku nodded,

"Yes, your honor." Both Izuku and Mineta said in unison.

"Go back to your seats."

It took a while for the actual case to begin but when it did- boy was it exciting. A lot of speaking with eyewitnesses- most of them favored Tensei. It wasn't hard to expect. He was the first hero on the scene after all. He was protecting a lot of people- from Mr. Heroslayer. That being his name was an issue. Well, on his part. Kinda nice on Izuku. The jury was eating it all up. Izuku hadn't even said a word. He could feel a pair of eyes on him. He knew who they were from. Tensei's mother. She was unimpressed- with the lack of- well, Izuku having to do anything. Why? Because Izuku and his team- went out of the way to track down all of these witnesses. To speak to them prior to coming here. He wasn't fooled, this wasn't his first rodeo. He plans ahead. Which is why, when it was his turn to question, he spun out of his seat and moved to the bench. The first witness was a young woman. Her name was Rei Tachibana. She had a kid and was on her way to drop him off at school when the entire scene played out. She was very scared. His assistant Tokage had had coffee with her- asked her about the whole ordeal. So Izuku knew where to start,

"Good morning Mrs. Tachibana."

"Good morning." Her response was a bit rushed,

"Tell us about yourself, if you would?" She nodded and continued. Explaining that she was a homemaker. Took care of her child, and husband. Izuku let her speak. He could read the room. They trusted her. Mother's were always trustworthy. "So, you were alone- that morning?" She nodded,

"My husband had left to work early- so I took him to school. Yes." Izuku drew her form up,

"Your son- he was hurt during this ordeal, am I correct?" Her lips drew together,

"No. No- he was-" Her eyes moved to Tensei, "Mr. Iida made it in time- to protect us."

"He did," Izuku nodded, "Mrs. Tachibana, what would have occurred if my client- had perhaps shown up a bit later than he did?" Her eyes drew low, down to her hand.

"I-I fear something terrible." Izuku took it in stride,

"Could you perhaps elaborate?" Her eyes moved to Izuku,
"I would most likely be dead." Izuku took in a deep breath, "I would have defended my son."

"Of course." He nodded, "As any parent would." Izuku spoke more the Jury now, "But lucky- you didn't have to do such a tragic thing, right Mrs. Tachibana?" He looked back at her, "No, there was a hero in place- to lay down their own life to make sure you and your child are safe." Mineta moved his hand up,

"Objection, he's asking a hypothetical question," The judge moved back to Izuku,

"I'll allow it." He nodded to her, "Get to the point."

"I will," He looked back at Mrs. Tachibana, "Speaking bluntly, Mrs. Tachibana, Mr. Iida saved you and your child's life- and the other onlookers- and passersby that day, am I correct?" Mrs. Tachibana nodded,

"He did." Her eyes moved to Tensei, "I am so grateful, thank you for your service." Izuku lifted his hand.

"Rest my case." The courtroom was already on his side, they were- but with the notion of a poor mother thanking his client, that was another matter. He's the hero everyone wanted to be. The type that deserved respect. So what if he abused his power a little and beat the ever-living shit out that guy- not next to him? Wasn't Izuku's problem, that's for sure. Next up- was a businessman. Izuku did much like what he did to the first woman, asked for name, job occupation, and family. He knew this person as well, Kaibara spoke with him. Invited him out for drinks. They chatted over drinks. Izuku knew how to take this conversation as well. He wasn't snarky with anything. Slow, asking his question's one at a time- to make sure the Jury behind him heard every single word,

"Were you scared for your life?"

"Yes." People in this world could relate. Living in such a world, the person beside them holding powers- that could potentially end their life, or in turn hold such small abilities to which they could not protect themselves. The room was clearing up, people taking sides. Izuku couldn't read the Jury- that was- insane. He was no mind reader, but he knew people. They felt bad for others in bad situations. That's why when they have power- they try to help those who seemed the most hurt. That's why on dating shows, the ugly person- still gets at least a chat with the attractive person. Cut- and clear. People rooted for those they thought are being wronged. In this case, Iida Tensei was a hero- who hurt someone- out of whatever reason. But he did it in order to protect others.

"And did Mr. Iida provide safety for you?"

"Yes." Izuku again rose his hand, moving back to his seat. He felt the man beside him staring at him,

"Don't act too surprised. Just keep looking thankful to them." Izuku took up his coffee. It was still warm. This wasn't as hard as he thought it'd be. He looked over to Mineta, and to his disbelief, he wasn't troubled. Not even a little. Well, he had something planned- didn't he? Izuku cleared his throat, the judge waving back to Mineta,

"Mr. Minoru, your new witness?" He stood from his seat- buttoning up his jacket.

"Yes, your honor." He smiled back at her, the room grew silent as a young man walked down the room- and took a seat the bench. Izuku didn't know who he was-

"T-tenya?" Izuku looked back at the man, confused.

"You know him?" Izuku asked lowly,

"He-he's my younger brother." Izuku looked back at him. Shit. Mineta stood up,

"What is your name?"

"Iida Tenya." Well.

"Can you tell us what your relationship is with the diffident?" Tenya's eyes moved to Izuku,

"He's my older brother." Izuku looked back at Tensei,

"Why is he on the stand?" He whispered lowly, his hand covering his mouth. Tensei's voice was rough,

"I-I don't know-"

"Your brother?" Mineta smiled, "How is he as a big brother?"

"Objection. That's misleading." The judge stared at Izuku, nodding.

"It is. Mr. Minoru, that is a warning." Mineta nodded, steading his paces.

"Acknowledged." He only smiled, "Where were you that day- Mr. Iida?" Tenya drew his eyes up,

"I-I… I was called for backup." He nodded.

"You do support often?"

"For my brother? Yes." His eyes steadied at his brother.

"Is he a good hero-"

"Objection! Speculation!" Izuku moved his hand up, the judge moving her eyes back to him,

"I'll allow it." Her eyes moved back at Tenya, "Answer it, son." He nodded,

"My brother is a great hero." Izuku didn't like where this was going, "A hardworking man, yes." Mineta had stopped his nervous pace. That was his tick. Izuku looked back at his client. He was happy. Izuku started to sense what was going on. Where this was heading. He sat up in his seat, his eyes drawing at the man's stiff shoulders. He wasn't the type to lie- not for his brother- not against anything. He was a law abiding citizen alright. Izuku looked back at Tensei, drawing quickly close to him.

"Was he there that day?" Tensei nodded,

"Yeah." Izuku rubbed his cheek, bitting down on his lip. Alright. This- this was unplanned. A family member against- well his family. Izuku took in a deep breath.

"You look up to him, I might add?" Tenya nodded, "That day- were you with your brother?"

"I was." Mineta stood steady in place.

"Did you help your brother- take down my client?" Tenya nodded,

"I did."

"Then- you saw your brother viciously apprehend my client? To beat him into a pulp- break his ribs, break his nose- leave him sitting out there a bloody mess?" Izuku moved his hand up,

"Objection, misleading."

"On what grounds, Mr. Midorya?" Izuku waved his hand back and forth,

"He's being vague and asking a lot of question- not clear ones." The judge nodded.

"Mr. Minoru, get to the point."

"Your brother hurt that man- to the point where you had to restrain him, correct Mr. Iida?"

"Correct." Izuku took in a deep breath. This isn't good.

"I rest my case." Izuku stood up from his seat, it was his turn. To question- this surprise witness. Izuku had to counter what he had just done- because the room was unsteady. So much more now.

"Hello." Izuku spoke up, "Mr. Iida." Tenya gave him a glum look,

"Hello," Izuku nodded,

"So, your brother is a hero."

"Yes."

"The Iida name is well known. Very prestigious line of heroes." Izuku spoke up, "Your brother is at the head of this no?" Tenya's eyes cracked up to his older brother.

"Yes.

"Then, you help around?" Izuku bobbed his head, "With the hero business."

"I am a hero."

"A hero." Izuku nods,

"It seems to me- that you are jealous of your older brother," Izuku spoke to him,

"Objection! Assumption." Mineta called. Izuku rolled his eyes,

"Mr. Midorya, warning."

"Yes, your honor." Izuku focused back onto the man. "But I assumed- since before- everyone was thanking his older brother. It appeared as if he wasn't on the scene at all."

"Objection! Assumption!" Izuku grunted,

"Mr. Midorya," He lifted his hand to her.

"I'll get to the point."

"Do so." The judge said lowly. Izuku felt himself rock lightly setting himself directly in front of Tenya.

"You got the scene of crime late. From my reports- about ten minutes. In those ten minutes- your brother had a life or death fight. You arrived at the end. So, you restrained him- but knew nothing about what had occurred before, correct?" Tenya stared at Izuku.

"Correct."

"Then you would not know- if he had had to fight for his life, no?"

"I would not." Izuku snapped his finger,

"So, let us go through this once again." Izuku's voice rang through the room. Everyone was silent. "You were late to help your older brother- arrived to see him hurt, and in turn fighting off the plaintiff?" The room had the right amount of silence. Everyone was holding onto his every word. Tenya drew forward, choking up a little before speaking into the speaker.

"Correct." Izuku clasped his hands together,

"I rest my case." He moved back to his seat, sitting down. He looked back at Mineta, who held a frown over his lips. Izuku returned it. He tried to slip this- his brother in. Izuku wasn't going to allow this to happen. Not after everything had run so smoothly before. The judge stacked up her forms,

"Alright, now for closing statements. Who would like to go first?" Izuku pointed back to Mineta who nodded.

"I'll go first." He stood up, walking to the front of the room. "Imagine you are a young person- who makes mistakes- because people aren't perfect. You got caught up in the wrong crowd and made a mistake. And because of that mistake- you were hurt so badly that you had to be put on life support. That your stomach had to be sewn back together because- it was ruptured and was leaking out gastric juices to your other organs. To corrupt them. I want you to ask yourselves today, does this man get a pass- because he's a hero? Because he was on the other side- to be able to do that," He gestured to his client. "He may be a villain, but that man is just as human as the rest of the people in here- and what he suffered was a great injustice." Mineta nodded, "I rest my case." He came back to his seat, Izuku taking in a deep breath. Mineta looked over at Izuku,

"Your turn." Izuku stood up, moving to the front of the room.

"A hero is a job that not everyone can do." Izuku looked back at Tensei, "It is something that others don't understand. Putting your life- your life on the line to protect others. Strangers- who won't ever thank you. But a hero's job is to protect those. Those with a voice and those without. My client stands here- a man who risks his life on a nearly daily basis to ensure others get home to their loved ones- not knowing himself if he will arrive back to his own. A man scared- fought off the plaintiff to not only protect himself but a woman with a child, a man- his own brother- and so many more who have no idea." Izuku's finger moved, "Who knows what that man would be doing right now- if he was not stopped when he was, but we know for sure- that my client would be still saving people. Helping. Protecting." Izuku gave a curt nod. "I rest my case." The room was silent. Emotions in the air were thick- both sides having strong final words.

"Alright." The judge spoke up, "We will now allow the jury to make the final decisions." She looked over at the other men and women, "We will resume with the verdict after."
