Summary
Ten years after the final All for One battles, the missions at the Deku-Aspire agency were usually straightforward. Complex, sure; complicated and difficult, absolutely. Top Ten heroes weren’t called in for every day shoplifting or cats stuck in trees, of course. Still, it was usually simple to tell good from bad, villain versus hero.
Until, during a cold week in January, it suddenly wasn’t.
OR
Someone's out to get the heroes and sidekicks at Midoriya and Todoroki's agency, and Midoriya's gonna stop them. (Complete, updates all this week).
