Mary Christmas! As the Tag suggests, I have no plan for this one, only ideas. Let the chaos begin!

Chapter 1: In Which Shit Hits the Fan

Chapter Text

1-A had only just settled into dorm life when the two people at the heart of the class got into their fight. Bakugo Katsuki, and Midoriya Izuku were now under house arrest for both breaking curfew and getting into a fight. 

Needless to say, the class was stunned by the development, never thinking either would break the rules so flagrantly, though for different reasons.

Say what you like about Bakugo Katsuki, that he was brash, rude, and had a temper. But he never broke rules once established.

As for Midoriya Izuku, the soft spoken, gentle and kind soul that most of the class knew him to be would never dream to attack a fellow student.

So, of course, even though they were forbidden to ask they were burning with curiosity.

And so, it was to this situation that Izuku's seemingly multiversal bad luck introduced itself.

- - - - -

Izuku had just walked out to take out the trash and was coming around the corner as another UA student, this one in the General Studies uniform, bumped into him and sneezed. This would have been written off normally if there hadn't been a bright flash of light that swallowed up the class's cinnamon roll. 

Izuku, of course at this point desensitized to being hit unexpectedly by Quirks due to the near constant stream of villain attacks since the beginning of the year, just pulled out his phone asked the other student some questions and called Aizawa as he walked back into the dorms, making what he said next audible to those inside the common rooms.

"That's right, Aizawa-sensei, the Quirk is called Honest Touch, it seems that if the holder touches someone then they can cause the target to answer any questions honestly involuntarily." He stopped, blinking as his eyes slightly lost focus. "No, Aizawa-sensei, my Quirk is not Problem Attracting, it is One For All."

There was a pregnant pause as everyone in the common rooms froze looking at Izuku shocked, learning that his Quirk was, apparently, not called Superpower. "No, Aizawa-sensei, that was a cover story All Might came up with after he gave me his Quirk."

At this point everyone was about to jump Izuku to demand answers when Bakugo came sprinting down the stairs, charging right at Izuku. Only to be stopped by Iida, who whispered a quiet reprimand to the explosive blonde. "Bakugo, I understand how you feel, but it is rude to interrupt a phone call."

In response to another question, zombie Izuku said "All Might said we had to hide the truth because it would be more dangerous for others to know about it."

Another pause as Aizawa, seemingly forgetting that Izuku could have been anywhere in the campus at that moment, thus telling an apparently National Level secret, asked another question. "No, I honestly don't think the advice is still valid since we know that All For One is still alive, as he has known about it for a long time."

The answer caused the other students in the room's blood to turn to ice. "All For One is the Kamino Ward Villain." 

Everyone knew who that was, everyone had seen that fight. Then Aizawa-sensei asked the question he probably should have asked from the beginning, though he probably, admittedly understandably was too shocked to do so. "I'm in the common room of the dorms. No, everyone else is here."

Izuku's disturbingly emotionless eyes scanned everyone's faces, evidently taking note of the shell-shocked expressions they all wore and simply said. "It is safe to assume they all know, yes."

Izuku pulled the phone away from his ear as a loud crashing could be heard from the other end of the phone, and Aizawa's voice could be heard as the phone automatically went to speaker "STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE, PROBLEM CHILD! DON'T MOVE A MUSCLE!"

At that point, Izuku's eyes regained focus, and he looked around again as the phone line cut off. He took in the stares that everyone was leveling at him, Izuku said the only thing that could have made the situation worse:  In a voice that was half pleading, half resigned. "Please tell me Aizawa didn't ask about Aldera."
