Present Mic

The last day of school. The air is warm, but still, uneasy, as Bakugo and Deku enter the school, Bakugo reviewing the evidence.

"Disgusting," Bakugo growls handing Deku the phone with the photos, "Truly disgusting Deku."

"Agreed," Deku sighs, "We... we have to act today. Before the Summer Camp. It's our last chance."

Bakugo nods as the duo enter the school.

"Is he doing OK?" Midnight inquires.

"Yes yes," All Might replies, "He will begin serving time under house arrest tomorrow."

"Can I speak to him?" Midnight inquires.

"He's still in intensive care," All Might explains, "Richard... He was dying."

"I know," Midnight replies, "But Vamp is..."

Midnight turns to look at her daughter, who cuddles a teddy bear, crying, her hair dye faded and without her color contacts, rocking back and forward, "They took big bro. They'll take you too." She hums, her psyche shattered by stress.

"She's had a mental breakdown," Midnight sighs, "And... can I trust you?"

"What with?" All Might inquires.

"Let's say Vamp was a former villian, but she's changed and is getting help," Midnight explains, "Can you turn... a blind eye?"

"Has she truly changed?" All Might asks.

In response she mutters, "Big bro says no killing. Have to be like mom. Have to be like big bro. Have to keep kids safe."

"Yes," Midnight sighs.

"Then yes," All Might replies, "What's her name?"

"Her old name was Toga," Midnight explains.

"Do you need me to keep an eye on her?" All Might asks, "Is she a... danger to herself?"

"I have to head to the agency," Midnight explains, "And I'm not taking any chances."

"I'm on my way," All Might replies.

"Thanks," Midnight sighs with relief, "I... I love you."

All Might blushes, caught off guard but replies, "I love you too."

Midnight hangs up, turning to look at Vamp, and asks, "Are you OK?"

Vamp suddenly grabs Midnight and won't let go, pleading, "Don't let them take me back mom. I don't wanna go back. I won't go back..."

"Shhhhh," Midnight comforts her daughter in her arms, "It's OK. It's OK. All Might is coming to keep an eye on you. It's OK. It's OK. You're been up since the news. Take a nap. I'll be back soon."

Shaking, Vamp nods, clinging to her mother for a couple of minutes before passing out.

All Might reassures herself, "It's going to be OK. She has therapy tomorrow." With that she takes one last look at her daughter, and goes to her hero agency...

"How go the meds West?" He laughs sitting in his chair.

"Great actually," Richard smiles, a cane in his left hand, "Purity is still around every now and again but he... well he's far more quiet. Best of all they have no permanent effects and are perfectly safe! It's actually so much better!"

"Good good," he smiles, "It took a fair bit of effort to convince the doctors to let us speak."

"Why did you want to speak All for One?" Richard asks, "You're still impure. You still... well you're not a threat now so I guess it's fine."

"I want to remind you," All for One explains, "Of a threat that is out there. With you arrested, a certain someone you framed is getting out. Now you'll never get him back in. He gets away with his crime."

"Morgan's dad," Richard growls, "The man who took Morgan away. The man who ruined my life. He's free, and he will never face consequences."

"Sir his blood pressure is rising," a nurse warns.

"We need to see if he goes into a blind rage," the doctor replies, "If he's safe to release on his medication. We have to make sure his personality isn't split anymore."

"I have to live with what he did," Richard sighs, "But he gets away. He ruined everything, but he gets away. He gets away. He gets away..."

Richard begins to cry, "He gets away. He gets away. He gets away..."

"Yeah he's fine get him out of there," the doctor orders, "Arrange for him to start seeing Kamui. We release him tomorrow..."

"Deku," Bakugo whispers as Eraser Head drones on and on about the Summer Camp, "Are we ready?"

Deku nods, and asks, "I have to go to the restroom."

Eraser Head sighs and nods. Deku exits the room and Bakugo follows, "As do I."

The two exit the room and immediately head upstairs to the principle's office. The furry freind is surprised by the entrance of the normally modest Deku with a stern look and an enraged Bakugo, who is angrier than usual.

"Where's that loud bastard!?!" Bakugo demands.

"Bakugo calm down!" Deku demands.

"Is there a reason you've barged into here?" Nezu asks, confused.

"There's a teacher at this academy," Deku explains, "Giving kids alcohol at lunch."

The principle asks sternly, "Do you have any proof?"

Deku nods, taking out his phone.

"It's Eraser Head isn't it?" Nezu inquires as Deku pulls up a video, "I wouldn't be surprised."

"No actually," Deku explains, "Richard was gathering evidence and asked him directly."

On the video Eraser Head sighs, "I'm a bit of a drinker myself sure, but I know damn well to keep that shit far away from anyone under 21. It causes irreperable harm to the child and I will never stand for that, but you Richard, you need to stop. If I had my say you wouldn't attend this school you paranoid little-"

"Then who?" Nezu inquires, concerned now.

Deku takes several photos from an envelope, of Present Mic drinking wine at lunch with 3rd year students.

"We gotta stop that loud bastard!" Bakugo exclaims.

"I got this," Nezu smiles, "It's my duty to keep the students safe."

Nezu presses a button on his desk and speaks, "Present Mic please report to my office..."

All Might enters Midnight's house and walks over to check on the sleeping Vamp.

"Poor kid," he mutters to himself, "How did Richard get mixed up in all this?"

Asking himself this fuels his curiosity as he looks around the living room, spotting a cell phone under the coffee table. It appears to belong to Richard.

Now, All Might normally wouldn't try to guess the password but in the case of someone as unstable as Richard...

It only takes one guess: Pure. He's in. He isn't sure what he's looking for. Just making sure there's no issues. Nothing to-

"My God," he mutters, opening a series of texts.

Richard: So is everything OK back there?

Sterile: Yeah dude we're handling things back here. Please come home.

Richard: Not yet. I only contacted you now cause I got the brass knuckle you gave me and just... I wanted you guys to know I was alive.

Sterile: Richard it's time to stop.

Richard: Not yet. I'll be back soon old timer. It was great talking to you.

Sterile: You too. Please stay safe.

These texts were from two weeks ago. Which means...

"There are others," All Might mutters, "other purifiers..."

But who is Sterile? That's clearly a codename. Who is he?

All Might takes out his phone and contacts Nezu, warning him, but Nezu is busy with... other matters.

"What's up?" Present Mic inquires.

"You're fired," Nezu glares, trying to maintain formality, "Clean out your office."

"Excuse me?" Present Mic asks, walking over and seeing the photos, "Oh, that little thing? Dude the amount is like, one glass. What's the big deal?"

Bakugo is enraged, and slams a massive packet packet onto the desk, "You loud bastard! It causes irrerpable harm! Same with wine in church! Same with any damn excuse! The brain is still developing at that point! At the age of 21, fine! That's when it's safe, but there is no excuse for what you've done!"

Present Mic chuckles, "I would've expected this from Richard, not from you Deku. Well, if you guys wanna take away the right to teach my students, for parents to raise their kids, as they see fit, then you'll have to fight for it. "

"It's not about choice when the science shows this is wrong!" Bakugo exclaims.

Present Mic chuckles, indifferent to such facts. His views on this twisted and dangerous, him seeing it, in his mind, as normal, as no big deal. When it is, and he may not know this, but he won't go down without a fight.

The scream sends the two students out the window, Bakugo quick to react, "Deku!" He exclaims, catching Deku by exploding to maneuver in the air. Present Mic screams his way down, using soundwaves to lower himself gently, smirking.

"Could've turned the blind eye," he explains.

"Deku are you ready?" Bakugo asks.

"We can't win this!" Deku exclaims as the cameras of the choppers in the sky begin to broadcast the scene...

Present Mic screams once more, the soundwaves blowing Bakugo back, while Deku charges, only for Present Mic to turn and scream as Deku is a mere 3 feet away, the waves so strong they crack Deku's ribs.

"Bastard!" Bakugo yells charging, only for Present Mic to sidestep and scream, knocking him into a wall, breaking his arms on impact. Deku and Bakugo look at each other, and nod, charging in a final attack, only for Present Mic to scream once more, knocking Bakugo out from the noise and with the soundwaves, slam Deku into the ground, breaking both legs and leaving him on the ground, bleeding out as Present Mic takes a deep breath to finish the two off and...

Nothing happens. No sound.

"You..." a voice growls as Deku passes out from blood loss, "You son of a bitch..."

Tired eyes stare into Mic's eyes. Exhausted eyes. Eraser Head speaks, "I might have know. I may have a problem with drinking but I know to keep it away from kids. I thought Richard was crazy, but no. He held some merit, and genuinely wanted to keep his peers safe. He gathered proof of your crimes and waited. I suppose for this, he deserves respect."

"Eraser Head come on," Present Mic pleads, "I'm not-"

Eraser Head will not blink or cease eye contact as he charges with his ropes, which Present Mic leaps out of the way of. However, Eraser Head is to quick, and destroys a nearby pillar, pinning Present Mic. He glares, "Men like you hold no merit in their arguments, their excuses. You attacked my students, and you are under arrest..."

Deku wakes up in his home, where he is greeted by his mom, who hugs him, "Izuku!"

"Mom?" He asks, "What happened?"

"Present Mic and U.A.," she sighs, "It's... it's all over. The Hero Course..."

"Mom?" Deku asks as she begins to cry, hugging her son.

"The Hero Course," she explains, "It's temporarily shut down..."
