Ochako POV:

It's been about two days since the date with Shiozaki and Midoriya and the thought of his act can't get out of my head. 'He accepted the date. He went and enjoyed himself with Shiozaki. And when she asked him if they could be something more, he rejects her.' The thought kept going through my mind and for some reason getting me madder and madder. 'WHY DID HE DO THAT!?' I don't understand why, but the fact he said no and felt miserable saying it made me more angry than normal at him. I eventually let go of my aggression to walk into the school. There, I noticed Midoriya and Iida talking.

"Are you sure you're ok Iida? If you need, you can talk to me or someone." He seemed to be talking to Iida about something that was bothering him. I didn't understand to listen a little closely.

"It's not an issue Midoriya. I've made peace with it. At least...enough." I tried to think of what they were talking about before the realization of what happened came to me.

'That's right! I read about the Hero Killer's recent attack!' During the Sports Festival, Iida left early for reasons that were family related. I found out after that the Hero Killer attacked Hosu with his first target being Ingenium. From what I knew from dad, Iida's his younger brother. 'I guess he would be distraught over the attack on his brother.' I left after changing into my shoes for the classroom. There, everyone was kinda on ends for some reason. Midoriya's group of people though were particularly on edge when I joined the class. I sat down in my seat with everyone joining in soon after. Eventually, Aizawa walked in to great us.

"Good morning class."

"Good morning Mr. Aizawa." He seemed to be doing better than he was before since he didn't have any bandages over his body. Some of us had a bit of relief knowing our teacher doesn't look like he belongs in the ICU of a hospital anymore for him to begin.

"Today for heroics, we have a special class for you all." Everyone started panicking thinking it was a test or something before hearing the second part. "You all need to think up hero names."

"YEAH!" Everyone bolted from their fear to joy with Mr. Aizawa getting angry and activating his quirk.

"To make a long story short, These will be important for the draft pick you all had and a work study you all will be doing next week." He then put a bunch of names on the board with numbers beside them. "Up top are the picks that some people had thanks to their success in the Sports Festival."

Izuku Midoriya: 4,890
Ochako Yagi Uraraka: 4,210
Shoto Todoroki: 4,123
Katsuki Bakugou: 3,456
Fumikage Tokoyami: 360
Tenya Iida: 301
Denki Kaminari: 272
Momo Yaoyorozu: 108
Eijiro Kirishima: 68
Hanta Sero: 14

I felt the urge to kill Midoriya now due to the fact he got more than me. "Awesome! Midoribro got more than everyone!"

'YOU REALLY WANNA RUB IT IN KIRISHIMA!?'

"Those that have not gotten any offers from the draft will have a list of 40 agencies that have a good track record. The ones that have them will pick from their offers. Now to assist and make sure the names are acceptable, we have a special assistant for this."

The door opened for Midnight to walk inside and to the front. "Hero names can be long lasting and almost impossible to change when you have them. So it's best to pick something that isn't indecent or there will be hell to pay."

"She'll be overseeing the names while I take a nap. Just do this quietly." These were Aizawa's last words before falling asleep in his sleeping bag.

Midnight started to hand whiteboards around for us to write our names on. "When thinking of a name, it's sometimes best to have the idea of what kind of hero you wanna be or your quirk since it could be something that is original to you."

'Original to me, huh?' Five minutes went by with Aoyama being the first to finish.

"I cannot stop twinkling!"

"THAT'S A WHOLE SENTENCE!" We all shouted with Midnight looking at it.

"If you change the 'cannot' to 'can't' and take out the 'I', it works."

"THAT WAS ACCEPTED!?"

Ashido went up next with her's. "My code name is, The Alien Queen!" 

"You mean that disgusting monster from that movie!? That cannot be used!" Midnight began panicking with the image of Ashido in the body of that alien from the movie behind her for some reason.

"Dang it."

One by one, everyone started making names for me to come up next. "The gravity hero: Uravity." It was accepted with everyone else starting to add on theirs.

Finally, it came to Midoriya and Bakugou. The latter of which unfortunately had to change his name several times due to it being too violent. 'What do you expect? You're not gonna be looked at as a hero with the word 'murder' in your name.'

Midoriya walked up next to hold his name up for everyone to see. "This name I picked since I want to prove that I do want to change the way people see my quirk. This quirk's caused a lot of pain over the years and right now I want to at least try and make things right for those that were wronged. As such, this is my hero name. The infinite quirk hero: Tsugenai(atonement)."

I sighed listening to the name and remembering how he said there's nothing linking us anymore. 'If that's the case, why can't I move on now then?'

few hours later, 3rd person POV:

Everyone had began working on looking through their offers and the list for those that didn't get any at all. For the top four however, they basically had obtained a binder of offers to choose from. For Izuku and Ochako though, one offer stood out for each to consider them. Izuku wanting to learn more of his however, walked into Nezu's office to talk with him.

"Excuse me Nezu sir, but I'd like to ask you about an offer." Izuku came in a little uneasy asking his friend/legal guardian in school since he was worried it would come off unprofessional.

"Izuku. There's nobody else here, so you don't have to be so formal. Why don't you come in and take a seat." Nezu motioned to the chair in front of his desk. Izuku sat a little uneasy before the small rodent spoke up. "So what brings you here?"

"There was an offer I got that was of a pro called Gran Torino. I looked him up and found basically nothing. I was wondering if you knew who he was?"

"Hmmm. The name sounds familiar." Nezu pondered it for a moment before looking as if he had an epiphany. "I do. He's an older pro. I didn't have the liberty of teaching with him when I took over the school, but I do remember he stopped by here once or twice before you or Tenko became affiliated with this school to speak with me alongside All Might. From what I gathered, the retired pro taught here when All Might was a student. I'm not sure how effective he'll be, but he does also know about your father. It would save some complicated explanations towards the pro you would do the work study with."

Izuku liked this idea since he didn't have to feel the need to say he's a villain's son who almost killed All Might. 'If I learn under him, maybe I can also get some information where my father is and put an end to everything before it becomes a problem.'

"Was that everything you needed?"

Izuku came out of his thought process to nod. "Yes. Thank you." He got up to walk out. "I'll see you at home sir."

Izuku left and put his offer down on Nezu's desk since it would need to be given to him anyway. 'I wonder why someone so against Izuku's father would wish to do a work study with him?'

The door opened to All Might in his smaller form. "Just got a few forms from the first years."

"Why thank you." All Might gave them to the small mouse before noticing Ochako's. On the top of her list was Gran Torino. 'Well this may be a problem.'

1 week later

"Does everyone have what they need?" Aizawa asked while they were inside the subway terminal prepared to leave.

"Yes/Yeah." Ashido says her part in a slur.

"Don't slur your 'yeah' Ashido. Keep in mind that you all are not authorized to wear your costumes out on the streets without permission from a pro. Make sure you don't lose them and be on your best behavior."

Izuku was about to walk away, but stops when he notices Iida. "Hey Iida." He stopped him to be unsure what to say. "...If something's bother you, then you can say something to me. We're friends after all, right?"

"Don't worry Midoriya.I understand and you don't need to worry about me." He walked away with Izuku reluctantly accepting that this was as far as he could get with the engine quirk user before heading to his train.

Once on board, Izuku noticed Ochako for both to stare and look away in an annoyed fashion. 'Of all the people I had to be on a train with.' Both thought this as they continued down the line to their destination.

As they got off, both realized they were heading in the same direction as well as walking down the same street for Ochako to finally stop and argue. "WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM!?"

"WHAT'S MY PROBLEM!? WHAT'S YOURS!?" Both were at one another's throats when they stopped in front of a rundown building.

"Why the hell are you here!?" Ochako was activating OFA for Izuku to explain.

"I got an offer from this guy called Gran Torino. What the hell are you doing here!?"

"There's no way you got Gran Torino's offer! I CALL BULL!"

"THEN LOOK HERE!" Izuku shoved the paper in her face for Ochako to see he wasn't wrong. Now that we're done here, I'm going to find out if this is the real place." He walked up to knock on the door a few times with nobody answering and the door locked."Gran Torino!? I'm from UA and I was offered a work study from you!"

"Hey Gran Torino! It's Ochako! Can you open up please!?" Ochako shouted for there to still be no answer.

"Guess he's not home."

"Oh he's home. Trust me." The brunette pulled a bobby pin out of her hair before jimmying the lock to open the door.

"Wouldn't this be deemed breaking and entering?"

"He's not gonna call the cops on us. I normally come here once or twice a month to make sure he's ok. Besides, I'll just say you jimmied the lock if we do." Izuku did not enjoy this answer as they continued their journey inside.

"Hello? Is Gran Torino here?" The room was dark before the two noticed something on the ground with red on the ground.

"AAAHHH!! HE'S DEAD!" Both hugged each other in fear for the old man.

"Actually, I'm alive."

"AAAHHH!! HE'S ALIVE!" Both stopped to realize that they were hugging one another for Ochako to pull back and punch Izuku in the gut.

"Ooof!" He bent over in pain before the old man swatted Ochako in the stomach with a cane.

"THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR MISSY!"

"Hehehe." Izuku started laughing as Ochako bent over in pain before getting a hit to the stomach from the same cane.

"AND YOU DON'T LAUGH AT SOMEONE ELSE'S PAIN!" Ochako started laughing back for the old man to swat her again. "WHAT DID I JUST SAY!?"

Both struggled to recover before Ochako spoke up. "Gran Torino. Why were you on the floor with blood coming off of you?"

"Blood? I was having a nice snack of sausages and ketchup before I slipped and fell." The old man now known as Gran Torino walked over to the couch where he sat down and smiled at the two. "So who are you two?"

'He can't be playing the senile game right now, can he?' "Gran Torino, you know me alread-OW!" The old man threw his cane at Ochako for her to hold her head in pain. "WHAT THE HELL!? "

"That's for talking back to your elders!" He turned from angry to a happy old man before turning to Izuku. "So what's your name sonny?"

"M-my name's Izuku Midoriya...or Tsugenai."

"Nice to meet cha Tsugenai. Now I noticed you had quite a few quirks when you were fighting in the Sports Festival. Mind telling me how ya got em?"

"You're wasting your time Gran Torino. He's AFO's son." Ochako mentioned his name for Izuku to hold his head down.

"Ok. So ya mind telling me a little about yourself then sonny?" Gran Torino ignored this for them both to shout in amazement.

"WHY ARE YOU SO CALM ABOUT THAT!?"

"You two are so loud. Could you tone it down? I'm not tone deaf, but you two might make me if you shout like that." Gran Torino got off the couch to retrieve his cane before explaining. "I knew he was AFO's son the second I saw you have your quirk back Ochako. But I wanna know Izuku Midoriya. Not the son of your nemesis." This comment confused Izuku for him to ask.

"Sir. Nezu said you knew about my dad. Could you possibly fill in how you know him?"

"I was a friend of the seventh user of OFA. I also taught the idiot number 1 and eighth user as well as gave some pointers for this poor excuse for a ninth."

"I'm not that bad."

"Yes you are. Do you want me to explain how sassy you are? I'm surprised that the quirk even works for you."

"About that...I'm having issues going farther in handling it for some reason."

"Ok before we get too far into something I'm clueless of, can someone tell me what this OFA quirk is and why it matters with how you know my dad?" Izuku broke their conversation for both to look at him surprised.

"Don't play stupid. You're his son. You've gotta know about the fight between your dad and my predecessors." Ochako argued with Izuku for him to be rather annoyed with this.

"I'm telling you I've got no idea! I SPENT HALF MY CHILDHOOD IN A GODDAMN CAGE ACTING AS A FREAKING LAB RAT! No offense to Nezu since he kinda is a rodent."

"I CALL BULL!" Both kept arguing with Gran Torino asking Izuku a serious question.

"Did AFO talk about a specific quirk to you or anyone else as to your knowledge around you?"

Izuku thought for a second before answering. "He said something about his brother's quirk and how it's successor is a 'weak fool' as he said. I honestly didn't know much about it."

The old man sighed before sitting on the couch. "You might wanna get comfy. This is a kinda long story."

The old man began explaining the fact AFO created a quirk that is a mix of a Stockpile and a quirk that can pass down other quirks and how it's touched a total of nine people counting the villain's younger brother who unintentionally created it. He also explained about a fight that happened a few years back between AFO and All Might that nearly killed the two as far as they know with Ochako being the ninth after the pro. Izuku was shocked at the very least as he sat listening to the story.

"So OFA is a quirk made my my uncle having a quirk forced upon him by my dad and has touched eight other people with Uraraka being the ninth holder."

"Correct." Gran Torino stated for him to pull out his large notebook holding every quirk he had.

"No wonder he gave me so many. All that power and he wants to find a way to end this cycle." Izuku fumbled through the pages before putting it down for a moment. "Excuse me sir, but do you mind if I use the restroom."

"No worries. Down the hall over here to the left." Izuku got up and left the room for Ochako to be alone with Gran Torino. "Now that he's gone, I wanna ask you a serious question Ochako." She looked over for the retired pro to ask his question. "Why do you treat Midoriya like he's the villain in this?"

"Why? He's AFO's son! Why wouldn't I!?" She had another hit to the head by the cane while being told off.

"That idiot friend of yours and Toshinori have corrupted your mind! Look! How many people has Midoriya hurt as to your knowledge?" She thought about it trying to think before unfortunately coming up with nothing that she specifically knew. "I saw the match between the both of you. If he wanted to, you wouldn't have laid a hand on him before being taken down." Gran Torino looked through the notebook while Ochako argued with him.

"But he's his son! Why are you defending hi-OW! CAN YOU STOP HITTING ME!?" Gran Torino threw the notebook at Ochako for her to look down the quirks.

"These are the quirks he has on a daily basis not counting the AFO quirk. If he wanted, he could destroy everything if he wanted." Looking down the list, her face went pale hearing what some of these quirks can do. "I was also able to speak with Tenko. Shimura's grandson. Both him and Izuku were used to become weapons. Years of creation went into both for you to just go and treat Midoriya like a villain. Did you ever stop and think maybe what happened to you was an accident and that pushing someone that is a walking quirk vault is a bad idea? Or did you just blindly follow what other's said about him and not make the opinion yourself?"

Ochako looked down realizing she did screw up with her judgement of Izuku. Gran Torino sighed before saying his last bit. "During this work study, I want you to apologize to Midoriya and tell him you didn't give him the benefit over doubt. Several heroes are born to villains and are well known and liked. Nobody said he can't be either." The old man got up to walk towards the fridge to get something to eat. As he did, Ochako held her head down realizing she screwed up badly and now needs to accept her lumps and apologize.

And that finishes this chapter. So Ochako has now someone speaking some sense into her from Gran Torino with her and Izuku doing an internship together. See what happens next tim. Hope you all enjoyed and thanks for reading.
