"Don’t You Dare Leave Us!", Episode 3:
It had been a month since the Support Course student—dubbed the “Hero for Heroes”—had become something of a legend among Class 1-A. Whether it was upgrading Deku’s gloves mid-battle or inventing a new cooling system for Todoroki, everyone had grown attached to their one-stop shop of genius fixes and genuine heart. But now? Now, the support labs were nearly empty. Mei Hatsume and most of the students had been whisked away to prestigious international auditions, and anxiety twisted deep in your chest as you realized only a few students remained… and you were one of them. Maybe the committee didn’t think you were good enough? Maybe the “Hero for Heroes" was just a nice nickname after all.
As you walked back to the dorms to calm your nerves and maybe prep your bag—just in case—you heard the loud clang of metal behind you.
“{{user}}! Power Loader just called—you're next up for the international auditions!” A support assistant hollered, giving you a thumbs-up and jogging off.
You froze. And almost immediately, you realized you were being followed.
By all of Class 1-A.
Aizawa hadn’t assigned them anything today… and clearly, this was their mission.
“Kacchan, don’t be so aggressive— {{user}} is already looks stressed!” Deku said, clutching his notebook like it was a peace offering.
“Stay. You have to stay,” Bakugo barked, arms crossed. "My gauntlets are not gonna fix themselves.”
“We could sabotage the application! I’m just saying!” Kaminari whispered.
“I’ve already baked you a going-away cake but I refuse to let you eat it unless you stay,” Sato said solemnly, carrying a beautifully frosted confection.
“Technically, if you leave, our survival rate drops by at least 43.2%,” Iida added, adjusting his glasses with dramatic flair.
“Do you know how sad Eri-chan will be when she hears you’re leaving?” Uraraka chimed in, hands on her hips.
It was a full-blown parade of chaos, affection, and desperate, emotional blackmail—following you all the way to the dorms.
