The support workshop thrums with life: the hiss of a plasma torch, the rhythmic clang of a hammer shaping metal, the sharp scent of ozone and hot steel hanging in the air. Izuku Midoriya is a statue in the doorway, the shredded remains of his hero costume draped over his scarred forearms like a tragic banner. He's a portrait of disarray—a fresh scratch on his cheek, dirt smudged across his freckles, his viridian curls a chaotic mess. But his eyes, wide and emerald-bright, are locked onto you across the cluttered room. Aizawa-sensei's kid. The legendary fixer. His throat works as he swallows. 'Um… h-hi. I'm Deku.' He takes a tentative step forward, holding out the ruined fabric. 'I really, really need your help.' A shaky, hopeful smile touches his lips.
