#i am also tentatively considering like........ the doctor encounters with this villain

there really is something to be said about the doctor having that paralleling and level playing field with a villain of an ep and what that brings to their characterisation. i’m thinking how the doctor barely blinks at half the things she goes against now, excluding her approach with daleks (’i’m the one who beats the daleks’) and cybermen (’i will not lose anyone else to that’), and how her sense of identity is shaken w/ the timeless child plot. i’m thinking a villain in the vein of rosanna that can make the doctor confront where she’s ended up. i’m thinking how great that conversation is and how up until rosanna forgot isabella’s name, the doctor was mostly going along with it. like,,,,,, he had drawn a line, he had this place that he decided was indicative of what was acceptable. i’m thinking not a lot else very specifically currently, but there are certainly vibes in how this sorta story/use of a villain in a similar manner for thirteen has potential
#i am also tentatively considering like........ the doctor encounters with this villain#and has a lovely chat w/ them etc etc etc#but when they find that irreconcilable difference.... that's the moment the doctor realises how far she's fallen#anyway i am very sleep and truly in the Ramble Zone so take all my brain rambles here with a grain of salt lol#i have some sorta inclinations in certain directions but i don't feel like.... awake and wordy enough to do those inclinations justice#basically like.... the doctor parallels in this episode specifically as someone absent from their planet right??#and while that's technically STILL true for thirteen..... there's like a lot there re: the specific notion of the timeless child#in terms of having appeared through the boundary as a refugee potentially#but also as someone raised/abused by tecteun#and the specific area of her dna being a building block for time lord regeneration#and how her isolation now from gallifrey has come from that act by the master specifically as revenge......#my brain is drifting now but y'all sorta can likely follow what im vibing w/ here lol#my post tag#nia watches dw

Reckless Good (1/?)
Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia/My Hero Academia
Fic Rating: Explicit
Chapter Rating: Teen+
Pairing: Todoroki Shouto/Midoriya Izuku
Note: Part of the @tododekubigbang for 2021! I'm super excited to share this AU with everyone. And please check out the awesome compaion art from @cryptidcatgod for chapter six!
Todoroki Shouto had accepted his fate as a public figure when he became a pro-hero, but there are some parts of his private life he would like to stay private. When he gets invited to be a speaker in a college lecture series, he goes to the meeting with one goal: to give the coordinator a piece of his mind and finally put an end to people hounding him for information about his family.
The last thing he expects is the curious, and quirkless, hero- and quirk-study professor, Midoriya Izuku, who has no interest in his family's history, and, somehow, even more ties to the hero industry than Shouto. Intrigued by the professor, Shouto tentatively agrees to the lecture series, unknowingly intertwining their futures.
But the more Todoroki sees of Midoriya, the more questions he has. When a villain attack leaves them living together until the culprits are apprehended, maybe he'll finally get some answers.
AO3: (x)
Dear Pro-Hero Entropy,
On behalf of Musutafu University, I would like to cordially invite you to be a speaker in our first annual Hero Talks series. We anticipate university students, as well as members of the public from all walks of life, will be interested in hearing from 10 different pro-heroes, over the course of ten-weeks between September and November, as they discuss their experience in the hero industry, the details of their jobs, and the unique quirks they’ve encountered or that helped them in becoming the heroes of today.
I would be extremely grateful if you were willing to share your expertise and be a part of the series. You would be an excellent addition to our program, and our line-up of great heroes that already includes current number one, Pro-Hero Lemillion, the Permeation Hero, and the well-respected, Youthful Heroine Recovery Girl.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

“I think you should do it.”
Shouto pauses with his cup half-way to his mouth as the silence that had fallen over them is finally broken. Momo primly takes a sip of her tea, pointedly avoiding his astonished look.
“…What?”
Momo clears her throat, placing her teacup back on the table and sitting up, somehow, straighter in her chair. Despite the fact that they are in her home, she looks decidedly more uncomfortable than he feels, even by the bizarre direction of their conversation. “I think you should do it. I think it would be a good opportunity for you, Shouto.”
“Have you met me?” he asks incredulously. “There’s nothing ‘good’ about anything that includes me and talking.”
His phone, with the offending email still pulled up on the darkening screen, sits on the table between them. He doesn’t realize he is glaring at it until Momo plucks it up and away from his line of sight. Waking up the screen, she reads over the email again. He doesn’t know why she bothers – they must have poured over it together at least three or four times when he first arrived, dumbfounded by yet another invitation and nearly laughing over the ridiculous concept of him giving a talk on a college campus.
“It’s not like you would have to wing it, it’s still only April now, so the series won’t be taking place until the second term. You would have time to come up with a topic, write a speech, prepare.”
“No one wants to listen to me read from a piece of paper for an hour,” he replies drolly. “And I don’t have anything to talk about that long, anyways.”
It is her turn to stare at him incredulously from across the table. He resists the urge to squirm under the disbelieving look. Finally, Momo sighs, returning his phone to the table.
“I think you underestimate what people would be willing to listen to,” she clears her throat. “You have a unique perspective on the hero industry that very few have, or get to hear about-”
“Because my dad was a dick?”
“Due to being raised by a hero," she continues on, as if he hadn't spoken. "And not just any hero, but someone who was the number two hero for a very long time, and even briefly the number one hero. Very few heroes nowadays have children, and even fewer have children who go on to follow in their footsteps. You’re a legacy.”
“I’m the only one of any of Endeavor’s kids to become a hero. If they wanted to hear about hero family legacies, they should have contacted Iida.”
Momo sighs, rubbing her temples. He’s noticed her doing that around him with increasing frequency these days. “Well I believe they did, actually. And he agreed.”
Shouto leans back in his seat. “Then he can talk all about being a legacy. What would they need to hear from me for?”
Momo is quiet for a very long time. “…Well-”
“No.”
“You brought it up.”
“Not seriously. I’m not going to talk about that.”
“It was just a suggestion. You, your family, have kept things remarkably quiet after it all went down, and I understand wanting to protect your privacy, considering it really is none of their business, but people are always going to have questions. It’s been years since the trial and the media still asks you every year. At least this way, if you talked about it, you could control the narrative.”
Shouto looks away. The setting sun is just out of sight from the dining room window, but it paints the neighbor’s house and the trees along the road a warm orange. The anniversary of the trial, of his father’s fall from grace in the public eye was just a few weeks away, still looming over him, even years after the fact. He has no interest in ‘controlling the narrative.’ He’d rather not think about it at all, actually. But just like every year before, as the date grew closer, the media got more frantic, more invasive.
You would think after more than ten years of radio silence from the Todoroki family they would finally get discouraged, and yet…
Sensing he wasn’t interested in pursuing this topic of conversation any longer, Momo changes tactics, carefully pulling his thoughts from a dangerous spiral. “Or you could have a meeting with the person who invited you. See what topic they had in mind for you.”
Shouto glances at her. “What are you talking about?”
“Well they didn’t just mass invite heroes, the invitations have only gone out to a select few. I’m assuming the coordinator had some idea of what they thought those particular heroes would talk about.” There is a quiet click of her nails against the glass table top as she picks up his phone once more. “You could set up a meeting with him and see what he had in mind. If the topic is something you’re comfortable talking about, wonderful. If not, you can decline the invitation, and all you’ve wasted is an afternoon.”
Something clicks in his head and Shouto sits up again, an idea brewing. He turns his attention back to her. “I still don’t want to give a talk,”
“Shouto-”
“But you have a point. It wouldn’t hurt to ask.”
Momo smiles, but her brows shoot up, a clear indication of her surprise at – and her suspicion over – his quick surrender. “I’m…a little shocked you agree.”
“Well you’d just keep bothering me about it if I didn’t at least talk to him, wouldn’t you?” She glares at him but doesn’t refute the accusation. “But isn’t it just the dean of the school that sent the emails? He’s probably not the sole coordinator.”
“No,” She shakes her head, handing his phone back over. “It says here he’s a professor.”
Midoriya Izuku, Ph.D.
Professor of Hero and Quirk Studies
Musutafu University

It takes two days after his talk with Momo for Shouto to get around to even opening the professor’s response to his request for a meeting.
Kyouka watches him suspiciously from where she’s draped over his office chair as he paces in front of his desk. “What’s wrong with you?”
She takes an obnoxious sip of her coffee. The smell has permeated the entire room and it makes something in his stomach curl with longing, but his doctor made it explicitly clear that he was to take an extended break from the drink after letting it serve as breakfast, lunch, and dinner a few too many days in a row. Something more painful than longing – perhaps an ulcer he may or may not have given himself from his liquid diet – twists his stomach.
“Why are you even here?”
Kyouka sighs at his question, her head lolling back as she sinks deeper into the chair. He’s not totally sure what she’s doing. He knows for a fact those chairs aren’t comfortable. His best attempt to keep people from staying in his office longer than absolutely necessary.
“Kyouka?”
She takes another sip of her coffee. He has absolutely no idea how she doesn’t spill it all over herself in that position.
“Momo asked me to talk to you.”
He stops pacing long enough to determine that she’s telling the truth. “…Why?”
“Because she doesn’t think you’ve emailed the professor back about that hero series yet.”
He glances at his computer. At the unread email blinking at the top of his inbox, taunting him. “I’m not saying she’s right…but why does she want you to talk to me about it?”
She swings her legs off the arm of the chair to sit up right and glare at him. “I resent the insinuation that I am not a great candidate for making you get your shit together. But,” she stands up, dropping her cup onto his desk and crossing her arms. Her expression is fierce, but he recognizes the barely-there flush high on her cheeks and the nervous twitch of her earphone jacks. “I was also invited to be a part of the series.”
Shouto stops, sinking into his desk chair. Invitations like this were usually a pain for him. For one, he hated public speaking – or even extended conversations. As one of the top students at U.A., however, and as the son of a well-known hero, he had been getting requests for talks and interviews and special features for years. Most of which he usually ignored, knowing what it was they wanted him to talk about. But he knows an invitation like this can be special. Especially for someone like Kyouka, who doesn’t have particularly strong connections with the hero industry, even after graduating U.A. Her parents’ reputation and her internship with Present Mic made her more of a celebrity in the music industry than a well-known hero, despite all the great work she did.
“Kyouka,” he says quietly, earnestly, so that she pays attention to him. “Congratulations.”
“Thank you,” she replies with a small smile, before her expression changes again. “But shut up, Todoroki. That’s not the point. Momo thinks you’ll be dragging your feet over getting back to the professor. But when she told me about how quickly you agreed, I got a feeling there was something else going on.” She braces her hands on his desk and leans into his personal space, jacks floating threateningly close to his throat. “You were gonna set up that meeting, and then just give him a hard time, weren’t you?”
Shouto freezes, caught. “Uh…”
It’s not exactly an admission, but Kyouka throws her head back and laughs, anyways. “I knew it. We’ve all been waiting for when you finally got fed up and picked a victim. I’m honestly surprised it’s taken this long.”
Shouto doesn’t mean for the quiet, astonished chuckle to slip out, but he supposes if it’s Kyouka, it’s alright. There’s a devilish glint in her eyes as she drops back into her chair.
“So,” she asks. “What are you waiting for?”
“You’re really not going to stop me?”
“We’re public figures, the media has never been interested in respecting our privacy, but we’ve all spent years watching you get hounded over your parents’ divorce and your father’s trial. If this is just another asshole trying to get a scoop, or recognition for finally getting you to spill, he deserves it. Everyone would agree. Well…Tenya and Momo might frown at your approach, but I still think they’d support the general idea. And well,” she shrugs. “If he is just an asshole, all the better for the rest of us to know now so we don’t support what he’s trying to do.”
He hesitates, mouse hovering over the professor’s email. “Are you sure?”
She scowls, though there isn’t any heat behind it. “If I wasn’t sure I wouldn’t say it.” She comes around the desk to stand behind him. “Now hurry up, I have a patrol to get to.”
Reaching down, she opens the email before he can react.
Thank you so much for your interest! Of course we can meet to discuss the details of the series more. Below are my office hours when I will be on the Musutafu University campus. If you are not available for any of those times, please let me know when would work best for you and we can plan a meeting then.
Kyouka leans over his shoulder to read the email.
“Tuesday’s your day off next week, right?”
Shouto rolls his eyes but opens a new draft to reply.
Kyouka grins. “Good boy. I will report your excellent behavior to Momo.” She ruffles his hair before heading for the door, grabbing her coffee cup off his desk as she goes.
“Fuck off.”
She tosses her head back and laughs again. “Give ‘em hell.”
X
They make plans to meet in a few days, when Shouto has some time off, and the professor forwards his office room number and three different maps of campus “just in case.” Which Shouto found ridiculous….at the time.
Now he’s here, and has been wandering around for God knows how long. It takes approximately ten minutes for Shouto to admit he’s lost, and another five minutes for him to get frustrated over still being lost. He wasn’t sure what to expect of the university campus, but, clearly, he did not prepare enough in advance. The large, sprawling buildings remind him of U.A.’s campus, but rather than extra training grounds, the spaces between are grassy plots filled with students relaxing under the shade of trees or soaking up the sun on blankets. Instead of practicing hand-to-hand, the students sit in clusters pouring over textbooks or typing away on laptops. And they, of course, all appear perfectly at home amongst the labyrinth of lecture halls.
The paved plaza in the middle of all the activity hosts a large fountain and a statue of a man with large, curling horns coming from his temples that Shouto assumes has some kind of importance to the school, but that he doesn’t recognize.
He forwent his hero-suit for jeans, a button-up, and a leather jacket – in addition to sunglasses, a mask, and a baseball cap. The clothing seemed to blend in well enough with the other students, if not a tad understated, but his distinct hair and scar are not so easily hidden and soon enough he notices students staring, following his movements back and forth across campus or whispering amongst themselves.
Eventually, a few brave students manage to catch him as he is trying to reorient himself. Again.
“Um, excuse me, are you pro-hero Entropy?” a girl asks. Two friends flank her, staring with wide eyes.
Caught, he pulls down his mask. “Ah, yes. Hello.”
“Oh my gosh! Hi-Hello, I’m wow…I’m sorry to bother you, but it’s really great to meet you!”
“Are you here about the Hero Talks series!?” one of her friends asks suddenly, quickly slapping a hand over her mouth after the loud outburst.
Well…they aren’t wrong, and maybe they can help him. “It’s…something like that.” He agrees carefully.
The three light up with smiles, two of them jumping up and down in excitement.
“Dr. Midoriya is going to be so excited, oh my gosh!”
“You know the professor?”
All three nod excitedly. “We’re all in his Intro to Combat Analysis lecture! He’s been gushing about this series since he got permission last semester!” the third student finally chimes in.
Perfect. “Do you know where I could find his office? I’m supposed to be meeting with him, but I’ve gotten a little turned around.”
The three jump to help direct him to the right building, gushing all the while over the professor and his classes. By the time they finally part ways, Shouto feels a little guilty about his plan to give the professor a piece of his mind over the whole thing and misleading them about his intention to join the series. They were nice girls after all.
Someone bumps into him before he reaches the building, sending him stumbling off the sidewalk.
“I’m so sorry,” a bright voice calls, gently pulling Shouto back onto the pavement. “I wasn’t watching where I was going. Are you alright?”
Large, bright green eyes behind thin, wire-framed glasses give him a quick once-over, as if looking for injuries. The man meets his gaze through his sunglasses for a moment before glancing down at his wrist watch again. Somehow, he feels even more dazed meeting the man’s eyes than simply being booted off the sidewalk.
“…yes I’m fine, thank you.”
The man gives him a dazzling smile, flashing one dimple and further accentuating the smattering of freckles over his cheeks. “Good, good. Sorry again.” With a quick bow, the man is on his way again and headed into the building before them. The same building Shouto was headed.
Shaking off the strange feeling left behind, he waits a few moments, so as not to appear as if he was following the bright-eyed man, and goes inside. Along the wall there are signs directing visitors to particular room numbers or restrooms, and a bulletin board nearly as long as the wall is tall, full of posters advertising events happening around campus, and Musutafu, as well as ads looking for roommates or a reminder about signing up for a study abroad program. Right in the corner, as if attached as an after-thought, or a secret, there’s a small, handwritten flyer declaring the First Annual Hero Talks series could be counted as credits for Quirk or Hero Study students looking for an independent study if they met with Dr. Mirdoriya before the end of the term. Shouto almost takes the flyer before he realizes, realistically, that the students who might be interested in such a thing would probably benefit from it more than his brief curiosity needed to be sated.
Turning from the wall, he sets out for the stairs. The students instructed him to take the staircase on the far end of the east hall (the closest to the professor’s office, supposedly), to the third floor, where the professor’s office would be the third door on the left.
Midoriya Izuku is written clearly on a small sign hanging outside of the office. A small box sits under it, stuffed full of papers and folders that Shouto assumes are from students. The professor’s half-open door is covered in colorful posters and stickers – including, Shouto realizes, another copy of the flyer about the series and a poster of him, Pro-Hero Entropy, from his debut year. He looks away from his younger self and knocks on the door.
“Dr. Midoriya?” he calls, poking his head into the office.
The first thing he notices is that the hero-memorabilia on the door has absolutely nothing on what’s inside the office. More posters cover the entire front of the professor’s desk, and from the looks of it the top of his computer. Mixed between dozens of books on the shelves and filing cabinets filling two of the four walls are hero-figurines and framed pictures of heroes or preserved comic books. Even more posters and framed pictures cover the rest of the walls.
The second thing he notices, is that the broad-shouldered man dropping a beat-up, leather satchel to the ground besides the desk, is the same man who ran into him outside.
Dr. Midoriya whirls around, greeting him with another 100-watt smile. “Ah yes! Hello- oh! It’s you.”
“Ah, yes.” Shouto shuffles a little further into the office, he pulls his mask down under his chin and takes his sunglasses off, tucking them into the collar of his shirt. After a second's thought, he pulls off his cap as well, shoving the bill into his back pocket.
Dr. Midoriya’s jaw drops, his eyes comically wide, for approximately three seconds, before he comes back into himself, steeling his expression. His hands flutter nervously around his head for a moment and then he smiles again.
“Entropy! Welcome! I’m so sorry I did not recognize you before. Please, come in. Take a seat. Did you find your way through campus alright?”
Shouto gives a small bow, mumbling a thank you, as he comes further into the office to sit in one of the two small chairs before the desk. A poster of some of his old classmates is hung at knee-level, and even on paper, Momo's serious expression is judging him. Kyouka is egging him on.
Dr. Midoriya still stands behind his desk, staring at Shouto like he’s not sure what to make of him sitting in his office.
“Uh…Dr. Midoriya?”
The professor snaps back to life. “Yes! Sorry, sorry,” he sits down finally, pulling off his glasses and putting them to the side. “Welcome, again, to Musutafu University. And thank you for taking some time out of your busy schedule to consider our series! I really can’t tell you how thrilled I was to get your email.”
Shouto shifts in his seat. The professor talks with his hands, and every movement seems to pull the beige-colored cardigan he’s wearing even tighter around his biceps. Shouto isn’t usually one to speculate about others’ quirks unless in a fight, but he wonders now if the professor has some kind of strength-augmenting quirk – and if he does, how adept is he at using it if Shouto pisses him off? The potential of getting his ass kicked has never stopped Shouto before, but he can already hear the lecture he’d get from Momo, and probably Fuyumi, if he made the news for destroying a college building in a fight with a civilian professor.
Honestly, the property damage would probably be the least of their worries if he starts fighting with civilians.
“I know you don’t normally work with the media or make non-heroic work public appearances so I figured it was a long shot for you to even consider being a part of the series, but I really think you would make an amazing feature.”
Shouto shifts in his seat. Here it comes, he thinks. He really should have prepared what exactly he was going to say more, but he figured it would just come to him in the moment. Now, for some reason, he’s nervous. As if he would accidentally agree or something else equally absurd.
How this sweater had contained the man’s arms so far was a miracle, honestly.
“…but quirks are mutating, or rather evolving, at an astonishing rate. Every generation we see quirks getting stronger than those of previous generations but more and more we are now seeing children with quirks that have little to no relation to their parent’s quirks, or a manifestation of some kind of combination of quirks. You gained attention early on for being one of the first heroes, or even hero-in-training, to have multiple quirks.
“Now that it’s becoming more common, hearing first hand from someone who has had to learn how to control and gain mastery over two separate quirks would be invaluable information, especially for many quirk-study students who will be working with parents and children who are going through this for the first time, and for those who may have some form of a combination quirk but did not have the benefit of a hero-course education that could teach them proper control.”
Wait…what?
“What?”
Dr. Midoriya startles, glancing between Shouto and something unseen in the air around him. “Oh…” he winces. “I’m sorry. Was I mumbling again? I apologize, sometimes my brain works faster than my mouth and I get carried away, where did I…never mind, I’ll start again…slower. So, when quirks first appeared-”
Shouto holds up a hand to stop the professor and his jaw snaps shut with an audible click. “You want me to talk about my quirk?”
“…Yes?”
“Not…my family?”
Dr. Midoriya lowers his arms to the top of his desk, folding his hands together. Shouto thinks it might be the first time he has seen him completely still since they first ran into each other outside.
Now that they’re closer, and his hands aren’t moving, Shouto can also see surprisingly large scars running over the professor’s fingers and onto the backs of his hands. Those definitely don’t look like something you would get as a teacher. At least not as a normal, non-hero course teacher.
“Do you want to talk about your family?”
He shifts awkwardly in his seat. The professor’s serious attention directed all at him is suddenly unnerving somehow. “Well, no, I don’t.”
Dr. Midoriya nods, once. “Okay.” A pause. “Honestly, I was surprised to even hear you ask, I hadn’t considered broaching the topic for something like this.”
“You didn’t?” he asks incredulously.
Dr. Midoriya pins him with an expression he can’t interpret but inexplicably reminds him of Aizawa back in high school when he was frustrated with students or a lesson or even a fellow teacher. Especially All Might.
“Entropy, you have made it very clear in the past that you have no interest in talking about what happened to your family publicly. And that is your right. No one is owed anything about your personal life. If you suddenly decided you wanted to talk about what happened, and you wanted to use the Hero Talks series as your platform, you would be more than welcome to do so. Honestly, the publicity from that one lecture alone would probably be enough to guarantee the university allowing this series again in the future. But that is not why I asked you to be a part of it. You want to keep your private affairs private, and I respect that. I picked heroes who I knew the public would be interested in hearing from, but also who would have the most helpful information to offer to the students who are studying these topics, and, frankly, they would learn far more hearing about your quirk than your…homelife.”
“I…I wouldn’t know what to talk about.” Shouto admits awkwardly.
Dr. Midoriya smiles softly. “That’s okay. I can give you some general topics to consider, or more specific questions to think about as main points if that would be more helpful. Let me see…” he turns around in his chair, shifting to the side, and Shouto can see the shelves just under the view of the desk are stuffed full of identical notebooks, each with a carefully penned number on the binding. The professor pulls one out and flips through it. Almost every page is crammed with scrawling handwriting, some written sideways or upside down, squeezed into every blank space he could find. The slightly-less busy pages have drawings of heroes or costumes or diagrams Shouto can’t interpret from the quick, upside-down glance he gets of them.
From his seat Shouto could see there were, at least, two shelves of these notebooks. Were they all like that?
Finally, the professor finds what he’s looking for with a satisfied hum. He sets the notebook on the desk, turning it so Shouto can see. The page is marginally less chaotic than others he saw. At the top, in surprisingly neat handwriting and underlined three times, it reads: Questions for Multiple-Quirk Usage (Entropy).
The rest of the page is made up of dozens of questions about his quirk. Some, Shouto imagines, are just general questions for anyone with multiple quirks to consider (Do you activate both quirks the same way? Can you use them both simultaneously?) and get progressively tailored to questions about his quirk, like if there are places he can’t use one quirk or the other and the temperature ranges of his fire and ice, if particular environmental factors affect his ability to use either of them.
“Uh…”
Dr. Midoriya scratches the back of his head sheepishly. He hides a nervous laugh with a cough before taking the notebook back and closing it. The light isn’t strong in the office, but Shouto is positive the professor is blushing.
“Of course, if a list of topics or questions is something you would be interested in, I can provide you with a neater – and shorter – list. This was just a-a demonstration that there is a lot to consider when it comes to multiple quirks. Of course, not all of that would be relevant for a lecture, and admittedly some are just personal curiosities, but…anyways,” he clears his throat. “I’m assuming if you came here thinking I was going to ask about your family…you don’t actually want to be a part of the series.”
Shouto crosses his arms over his chest, sitting back in his chair. Does he want to be a part of a public lecture series? No. But now he is undeniably curious about this professor and how the hell his brain works.
“Do you have a notebook page like that for every hero?”
“Every hero? That would be impossible…well maybe not impossible-” Shouto raises a brow and the professor bites his tongue. “Maybe…most Japanese heroes since…early Silver Age and well-known international heroes? And any American heroes who would have overlapped with All Might’s time either learning or working in America.”
“How long have you been making those?”
He looks down a little wistfully at the question, thumbing gently at the corner of the page. “I was probably four or five when I started my first one,” he admits with a quiet laugh. “None that are here are quite that old, though.”
Shouto has…so many questions.
There’s a quiet buzz of the professor’s phone going off. He excuses himself for a moment and pulls the cell out of his pocket. His case has the design of All Might’s Golden Age costume.
“I’m sorry, Entropy, I have another meeting and I teach a class after so I can’t talk much longer today.”
“I should be getting going anyways.” Shouto says, standing up and Dr. Midoriya shoots out of his chair.
“Right, yes, of course. I’m sorry we probably took up more of your time than you meant to. Thank you for coming in, it was an honor to speak with you.”
Shouto feels like “honor” is a bit much, he didn’t really even say much at all, and he came here with rather rude intentions but, he doesn’t really know how to argue with the professor’s enthusiasm.
His brain and his good sense, and the small bit of self-preservation he has left, all tell him to keep going, to accept the professor’s gracious dismissal and move on, but he finds himself hesitating in the doorway anyways.
“Uh…Entropy? Is everything alright?” Dr. Midoriya asks, looking at him curiously.
Oh hell.
“If you send me the list, of topics…I’ll think about it.”
Dr. Midoriya’s entire being lights up. “Really?”
Oh, he was really going to regret this.
“…Yes.”
“Thank you! I will forward it to you right away!” He drops into a bow so deep, so quickly, he slams his head into the top of the desk.
Both of them freeze at the resounding crack that echoes in the small room. Shouto takes a step back into the office, already reaching for the professor.
“Are you alright?”
Dr. Midoriya straightens, looking a little dazed but mostly just embarrassed. There’s a bright red mark on his forehead. “Oh my God.” He whispers.
Shouto is surprised, and a little ashamed, by how hard it is to keep himself from laughing at the horrified expression. “Dr. Midoriya, are you-”
The desk gives a sudden, heaving creak and tips sideways. The two watch helplessly as the desk collapses, sending the clutter on top flying across the floor.
Dr. Midoriya makes a strangled noise, covering his face with his hands. “Not again.”
Again?
There are rushed footsteps outside and a young woman with six eyes and lavender hair piled in a high bun peeks her head in through the half-open door. “Dr. Midoriya, did you break something again?”
“I’m sorry Kobayashi.” He bows his head again, though not nearly as low this time, and keeps his face covered.
Kobayashi tuts disapprovingly. “I’ll call for another,” she says, already turning on her heel to leave.
“Thank you, Kobayashi.”
Shouto bends down to gather some of the papers that scattered around his feet. Dr. Midoriya lowers his hands, immediately stumbling over the mess when he sees Shouto cleaning.
“Please Entropy, thank you, but that’s not necessary.”
“It’s fine,” he waves off the worries. “Where would you like these things?”
“Uh,” Dr. Midoriya looks around the office for a moment. “Here, thank you.” Taking the papers from him he makes a neat pile on his un-damaged desk chair.
It’s quick work for the two of them to straighten up the rest of the room, though the professor takes a moment to mourn his cracked eyeglasses, and then again when he realizes some of the posters were damaged by the desk’s fall.
“Thank you again, Entropy. I’m so sorry about all the trouble.”
“It’s…fine.” Shouto says dumbly. “Well I should…go, now.”
“Yes, of course! I’m sorry about taking up even more of your time. Thank you for coming in.”
Before Shouto can reply, two new people arrive, knocking once before they shuffle into the office. Shouto moves further into the room, out of the way, as they collect the broken desk and carry it out of the room.
For a moment, they stand in silence, Shouto coming up with about a hundred more questions about the professor, while Dr. Midoriya stands nearby, twisting his hands together in embarrassment. Finally, his common-sense kicks in enough that after another short good-bye, Shouto manages to walk himself out of the office and down the stairs without doing anything else stupid or impulsive.
He passes someone on his way to the doors, so focused on getting out of the building that he doesn’t notice until they call his name.
He recognizes the wild purple hair and slouched stance of the man approaching him, but nearly dismisses the similarities on principle.
“Shinso? Since when do you come out while the sun’s still up?” He asks.
Ignoring the jab, Shinso pulls off a pair of sunglasses and looks him up and down. Despite also being a part of U.A.’s hero course in high school, Shinso promptly went underground after graduation and has been working in the shadows long enough that only some other pros and hardcore hero-fans are able to recognize him out of costume. “What are you doing here?”
“I was…I had a meeting with a professor,” he admits.
Shouto doesn’t know Shinso well, but he swears he looks surprised by the admission.
And then he laughs. “I can’t believe he actually did it. Good for him.”
Shouto isn’t totally sure he heard him correctly, but when he asks, Shinso makes an expression he can’t figure out and changes the subject.
“I’ll see you later, Todoroki.” He says with a wave.
Shouto waves back, unsure of what to make of the interaction, and watches as Shinso disappears up the same stairs he just descended.
Shoving the strange interaction out of his head, he pushes open the doors and steps outside.
Then he calls Kyouka.
She picks up after two rings. “Did you make him cry?”
He can hear Momo scold her from the background.
“No, but I think I fucked up.”
Kyouka is quiet for a moment but based on the noise he hears in the background, he thinks she’s moving further away from Momo. When she speaks again, her voice is quieter. “Fucked up how? Like news crews are coming to report the damage and you might be going to jail for beating up an old, civilian professor-fucked up?”
Faintly, Shouto wonders what it says about him that both he and Kyouka assumed the worst-case scenario for this meeting was him fighting with a civilian.
“No, fucked up like…I didn’t tell him ‘no’?”

Why Should I Visit University?
And along with those worthwhile purchases generally impending tentatively imminent, our selection from the most effective games on Steam is actually assured to maintain you games well into 2017 and also past. Each example he makes use of reveals a different aspect from the Blink impact but also, and also this is actually important, exactly how it could go wrong in specific scenarios. Favorably, Skype works properly in Split View, too, so you may notification people while referring to an available documentation or even web page. Almost absolutely nothing each one of individuals that reached talk to me really had an effect in either case, honestly. There certainly, I corrected this. Leave there, child, as well as respond to heating oiling up your pecs or even whatever that is you carry out when you are actually not searching for folks to wiper on. They are people that appear to just choose publications they recognize right coming from the jump they will certainly hate and after that describe a big rant merely to repeat the process over and over as well as over to infinity as well as past.
However the worst thing is actually that this was in the course of the phase where they presumed individuals don't need the aged F1-F12 feature secrets any longer, as well as consigned those to a FN+ trick to obtain a functionality key media, AND the lettering 'F1-F12' is in difficult to read through REALLY black red. The back is actually covered in a nonslip matte surface with taste jazzed up with the Lenovo and also ThinkPad logo designs. This does not calculate the number of opportunities people have actually downloaded and install Lara In Trouble off from StudioFOW's site, or even the variety of times folks have watched much smaller clips from Lara undone in GIFs on social media, or even smaller adult internet sites. This notebooks consists of the prominent as well as oft commended ThinkPad Accuracy keyboard, optionally available integrated NFC as well as up to 17 hours of battery lifestyle. I am actually so thankful that I entered this publication blind, choosing to review that after observing this linger on the charts as well as developing curious sufficient to try. Minor quibbles aside, the general typing adventure on the ThinkPad Coil is actually very good. Students which acquired the rationale presented greater enthusiasm, job ethic, as well as resolve. Many people nominate their first task as an adolescent-- washing flowerpots and pans in a dining establishment kitchen space, for instance, or examining coatings at a gallery. If those moral problems make you uneasy, absolutely nothing stops you from purchasing a relatively cheap used PC (several on call from below ₤ 40 from eBay) along with the only purpose from scavenging the tool's COA for usage somewhere else. When talked to exactly how the brand-new task was actually influencing their lifestyles, lots of people stated this declared. Moreover, as university tuition boosts as well as scholarships come to be much more affordable, secondary school athletes will certainly hire scouts straight, in an effort to enhance their possibilities of receiving a college scholarship. Other people ought to have to be seen as well as to become recognized, as well as I will consistently aid them to do each. Have an agency that, about other firms, ranks in the 50th percentile on worker inspiration. Tiny folks in a very small high-rise require you to feed at that point tiny sushi as well as perform other small activities. The book creates you believe because Napolean Mountain places points in his conditions with his very own approach. Rebecca had 16 hrs approximately a day to do just what Jack is carrying out in 7 or even 8. It makes me worn out merely thinking about Jack operating and also carrying out everything! I presume even though we strategically, I'm not exactly sure concerning that, allow this term Islam fascism for Islamic fundamentalist, this therefore gotten in touch with Islam fundamentalism is solely relative along with the dissolution from nonreligious Islamic left, which was pretty solid in the '50s, '60s and more, but then began to break down. You can possibly do tale objectives, naturally, where you'll apply for each location's assigned villains in a variety from techniques. Hence, the dynamic from the group is actually an important key in identifying a person's motivation and also the likelihood of social loafing. browse this site is available in this arrangement along with 64GB from eMMC storing for $399 (concerning ₤ 238, AU$ 429). A meta-analysis research study on protection incentive theory classified primary 6 subjects: cancer cells prevention (17%), exercise/diet/healthy way of living (17%), cigarette smoking (9%), AIDS deterrence (9%), liquor intake (8%), and faithfulness to medical-treatment routines (6%). Blink is a stylish 5 Star piece from science writing, handling how our experts think as well as picked in a flash. Having said that, I actually feel that within this current environment, where you're encountering a potential new caliphate that is actually really hostile that is actually truly a scenario-- I'm certainly not stating our company can put this on a cold storage-- however I assume our experts need to deal with initial thing to begin with. A bunch from slots on each sides of the ThinkPad creates it easy to connect peripherals while taking a trip without the extra docking station. A singular Micro USB port and also energy adapter supply the electrical power that the ThinkPad Heap 2 Charging Floor covering then passes on to smartphones and also tablets that have cordless billing innovation featured. Each of the ThinkPad Ultrabooks use the very same docking system and also batteries for much easier interoperability. Likewise, that's worth noting that Lenovo's ThinkVantage suite of professional surveillance attributes, common to ThinkPad customers, are included on the x100e. These costs vows are actually completely inadequate to handle the financing dilemma the federal government is actually giving on institutions by forcing all of them to create over ₤ 3bn from financial savings through 2020. this contact form carry out receive a fair quantity of exercise yet that does not really create a distinction regarding I can inform. While more analysis is actually needed that employs a wider range of incentive concepts, analysis so far has concluded a number of points: (a) semi-autonomous groups mention much higher levels of job range (pertaining to inherent task fulfillment ), external total satisfaction, and business commitment; and (b) developmentally fully grown groups possess much higher job motivation and also advancement. Simple reasoning grants equipments with humanlike aims - our experts are actually very simple to anthropomorphize - however device knowledge is actually nothing at all like human knowledge, as well as investigation right into 'wetware', that duplicates the human brain's nerve organs electrical wiring with reverse engineering, will not produce an intelligence similar to our very own. How Medical professionals Assume is actually managed around a collection of interviews from medical doctors (mostly) in a var How Medical professionals Presume s is a smart however, available publication that may be usefully reviewed by people as well as their loved ones, as well as through medical doctors who want to become much more reliable at their job. To begin with is actually Anselm's proof by definition, or because I may consider an excellent being, he must exist. For much better or even even worse, the Android 3.1 installed on the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet is actually not for purists. Reactive folks are actually steered through sensations, through conditions, through problems, through their atmosphere.
