Chapter Text
“WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU??” the verdette screamed in anger at the tall blonde muscular man
“Easy young man. no one here is going to harm you” the man said, his large smile never leaving his face
“Then why the fuck are you saving that Infected??” Izuku just couldn't grasp the concept of protecting a infected when it was already lost
“Infected?” the blonde asked clearly confused, yet another thing to baffle Izuku
“... your fucking with me, aren't you? What waterback colony is this?? How the hell have you never heard about the Infected??”
“Kid, lower the gun” the man said again moving his arms in a downwards motion “your under a drug influence, that much is clear now”
“...” Izuku stared blankly at the man, irritation at the forefront of his mind “The drug here is you, but if you wanna proof of authority, fine.” Izuku lowered his customized Gauss rifle, or as he came to call it, “The Survivor”, grabbed his insignia of the Raynor’s raiders and showed it to the man and the mutants “I'm one of the Raynor’s raiders. Sergeant Izuku Midoriya Valora.” He started, what he mockingly called “the speech”
“First lieutenant of Mar Sara's Magistrate of the Confederacy of Mankind. Survivor of Aiur’ Siege. Defender of the free people and the resistance against Arcturus Mengsk's Dominion. Ally of the Protoss race and sworn enemy of the Zerg Swarm” placing his insignia back at his holster he glared openly at the blonde “now you know who exactly you're dealing with. So step aside and let me finish the job”
The blonde only looked at him in confusion “and… what are those things you spoke of?”
If looks could kill, Izuku would have murdered that man ten times over for being that dumb. Sure there IS the stupid stereotype of the “dumb blonde” and all that, but this man was really incarnating said stereotype
“Alright dumbass” Izuku gritted his teeth as he said that, pointing his Gauss rifle at the tall man “I will make the questions here! First off: which planet is this??”
The blonde man seemed shocked, and the mutants: the giantess, the half-gorilla, the psionic with the wood getup and the man with the weird getup that was controlling water were all looking like they never heard that before
“Boy, what are you talking about? This is Earth, where else-”
“EARTH??? HOW IN BLOODY HELL THIS IS MOTHERFUCKING EARTH???” Izuku exploded upon hearing that name. How could he not? He was captured by the United Earth Directorate (UED) and EXPERIMENTED UPON. Just mentioning about his, once, homeplanet was already enough to warrant his unbridled wrath
“Warning psionic waves destabilizing” a female synthetic voice spoke from within Izuku's Specter suit, making it's green highlights shine a bright pink “administrating relaxing agent”
This surprised the heroes and public. Whatever this young teen's suit was, it was highly technological, but said suit scared them the most as several “pins” raised revealing needles with a strange orange substance before the same went down on the boy's body, injecting him with whatever the orange liquid was
Izuku grunted a little as the chemical to ease up his brain activity and make him think normally again “thanks… Miranda”
“Izuku, I am bringing The Deviant towards your position for extraction” Miranda spoke though the suit's speakers again
“Miranda, do a full search through the holo-network of this colony. See if there's anything from UED's forces, if Earth has really sent another war party, we have to hit them hard-”
“Izuku” Miranda synthetic voice cut him off, her tone almost worried “this is not a colony, we are currently at Earth”
Izuku lowered his rifle and raised his hand to his goggles-in-built communicator to replay the message again “what do you mean this Earth??? I scoured through this city for hours now and haven't seen a damned UED flag or their abomination of soldiers!”
Izuku's rageful words shocked the people at the scene. What was he talking about, and who was this woman speaking through his suit?
“Izuku…” Miranda's tone was now displaying complete worry, something Izuku would be proud of, as finally his extensive tinkering with Miranda's Adjudant AI program was bearing fruits, but the situation was far from ideal for it “this planet… is Earth… 400 years in the past”
Those words stroke the verdette's heart as a Gauss bullet. So much that he dropped his rifle and fell to his knees, his eyes were now void of color as his face. “W-wha…
What?” He asked in fear, not wanting it to be true- Heaven above… he had already given up any and all attempts at getting back home… don't joke with him now
A sudden gust of wind came blowing at the street, followed by what sounded like jet engines. Looking up, All Might nearly coughed blood by what he was seeing; there in the air above them all was what could only be described as a spaceship with the same emblem the boy had shown them.
“Dropping in troopers” Miranda, the pilot, All Might assumed, said as the lower half of the ship opened and several men in what seemed like bulkier versions of astronaut's spacesuits jumped onto them with large heavy assault rifles
All Might could only look in surprise at the scene before him, who were these people and how did they have access to military grade equipment?
“I'm going in” the pilot said before the ship's cockpit opened and someone jumped from there
The number one hero tried to save the falling pilot, but a shot rang in the air and some of the men in astronaut's spacesuits were pointing their guns at him. Were they stupid? That person is going to die!
Said pilot suddenly opened their back and a pair of small rocket exhaustors came out, flames blazing from them, slowing the pilot's fall until they landed safely.
Now that he could see them properly, the pilot was actually a robot!! An actual robot with humanoid appearance. Though…. Why did it look like a woman?
‘She’ is 1,68m (IS)/ 5 feet 46 inches tall, had an white armor with very feminine features and shape, her ‘hair’ was composed of cables and wires, given the impression of dreadlocks going all the way to her shoulders and her face, despite the similarities with that of a human was bone-white from the material her “face” was made of, while her mouth had cuts on the corners going down towards her chin, in a similar fashion to a marionette. Her “eyes” were a bright blue and actually showed emotion! What?
Miranda gave a quick look at the surrounding crowd, scanning them to compare the information she gathered with the historical archives of UED's old Earth history. Most faces came as unimportant but some faces actually gave her actual leads, she archived those results for later, right now Izuku needed her.
As she approached the fallen greenete, his green eyes turned to look at her, void of any and all emotions. Her processor ached at the sight, the years Izuku's put in efforts to grant her the ability to feel and express her own emotions gave her a bit of happiness at seeing her partner's efforts bearing fruits for the two of them, but right now he needed her.
Kneeling down in front of him, the Adjutant robot placed her hands on his shoulders, giving him a reassuring smile and a look of empathy. She couldn't calculate nor simulate how he must be feeling right now, but she would be doing what she could to help him recover
“Izuku. Dear” she tried speaking gently to him, but his eyes started watering, making her worry, had she done something to trigger his PTSD?
“W-we.. we are here?” Izuku's voice trembled, his throat inflamed and struggling “Miranda… this is- this is not a joke is it?” His voice no longer was the harsh and bitter that it always was for the time she knew the boy after Mar Sara's fall. It was the same young Izuku Midoriya that had just been stranded in her old Magistrate's colony, the same boy so full of hope about going home or becoming a “hero” that she would be crying if she could.
“No… Izuku… we are here” she said as she embraced the boy, laying his head on her artificial bust, something she learned from Tychus while he was with the Hyperion crew, this somehow made male humans move at ease, and judging by Izuku's lack of attempts to move away, it was truly working “we are at Earth… your Earth. We… we traveled back in time… you're home”
You're home…
Those worlds drummed in Izuku's mind Siege Tank's bombarding cannons. He was home… he actually, truly was home!
That made the walls and training to keep his emotions in check go all away, and he began crying like the child he was years ago when Andrew Velora adopted him as his son
