"Damn it, Sen is a slave driver- Ow!" Izuku yelped when he was karate chopped by Sen who materialised behind him. A visible bump was seen on Izuku's head

"Who is a slave driver?" Senbonzakura asked. "No one!" Izuku yelled gaining the attention of those passing by

"I have told you already that you can communicate with me telepathically when we are outside. We do not need the extra attention on you right now"
He said

"I know, I know. It's hard to get used to talking with someone telepathically right of the bat, ya know" Sen shook his head

"Anyway Sen..." "Yes?" Izuku looked nervous "have you felt as if someone has been watching us? I keep getting this feeling..." Sen stilled for a moment before walking besides Izuku

"No, it must be your imagination or else I would have known if someone was watching us" he said "Ah! That's good! I was getting worried!" Sen nodded and continued walking, shooting a slight glance at the roof of the building to the right. At the top a figure was seen standing with a humanoid silhouette levitating next to him

"Anyway, it is back to school time so how are you fairing?" Sen asked "I- don't know, All I know is that I hate Izumi and Katsuki more now" "What about that boy, Shouto Todoroki was his name if I remember correctly" "I don't know what to feel about him. He never really participated in the beating nor in the Deku hunt also he warned me about Izumi and Katsuki going to destroy the Cherry blossom tree or You to be exact" he said "Hm.. I'll keep my eye on that boy"

School had just ended for the day and Izuku was getting ready to leave. Today had been a pretty... Eventful day

For one, no one really bullied him and two, he found a letter in his locker. All it said was to meet at the park a block away from school after school ended

"What do you think Sen? Should I go or not?" He asked. "You should go. What you find may be of importance to you, and if things go south I will protect you" "Alright Thanks Sen"

Izuku arrived at the park. He remembered this park clearly. He used to play here everyday with Izumi, katsuki and Shouto

This park had been abandoned for a while. The slides and swings were rusty. There were dead bushes growing in some places. All the play sets were collecting dust

Izuku waited for a minute, remembering the past where everything went to hell. 5 years ago was when It all begun. Now Izuku at the age of 10, could not help but thing what would happen if things had been different

He was cut of from his musing by a voice he recognised all to well

"Hello Izuku" turning around, his forest green eyes met ice cold and grey ones

"Hello... Shoto" he said, his voice deprived of any emotion

"I know this may come of as weird to you but..." He suddenly bowed his head making Izuku raise his eyebrow and take a step back

"I am sorry!" He yelled catching Izuku of guard this was not what I expected to find, he thought

"You... Are sorry?" He asked in confusion. Never would he have thought that one of his childhood bullies would say sorry to him
