AN: I've had this one in mind ever since I saw blackheart0009'sFindingRemnants of Heroes.

The basic summary is this: the boys of class 1-A have just finished unpacking and decorating their dorm rooms and have reconvened in the main hall. But instead of having a competition to see who has the best room, the students of class 1-A find themselves in an alternate realm spending the night watching… Batman: Arkham Asylum.

So without further ado, let's get started!


Disclaimer: I do not, in anyway shape or form, own My Hero Academia or the Batman Arkham series.


(UA high, class 1-A dorm)

A few hours had gone by since class 1-A had moved into their new dorm. With their unpacking finally done, most of the boys had gathered together in the common room. The left side couch was taken up by Izuku Midoriya, Fumikage Tokoyami and Minoru Mineta. Meanwhile on the opposite couch sat Hanta Sero and Rikido Sato.

"Hah, man. I'm so beat." Eijiro Kirishima, class 1-A's resident 'manly man' sighed as he collapsed onto the middle couch and leaned back. The process of unpacking and decorating his room had taken a toll on him.

"You and me both buddy." Sero concurred, sounding just as drained as his friend. "You done unpacking?" he asked, to which Kirishima replied. "I think so."

"It feels good, right?" Izuku asked with a smile that was mirrored by Denki Kaminari, who'd perched himself on the armrest beside the Green-haired teen.

"I know we could've died and all, but you gotta admit it! It's kinda exciting to be living in a place like this!" The electric user said excitedly.

Izuku smiled and nodded in agreement.

Behind Kirishima, Tenya Iida broke out into a round of eccentric, robot-like poses. "A unified class! This is the perfect way to enhance our cooperation and discipline! How smart! As expected of such a prestigious school like UA!" He proclaimed.

Kirishima tilted his head at the class rep with an amused smirk. "Jeez. You never take a rest, do ya?" he asked rhetorically.

Iida would've replied, but any further conversation was put on hold when everyone heard the doorbell to the dorms ring. "I got it!" They distinctly heard Tooru Hagakure call.

The boys look to each other and confusion.

"What do ya suppose that's all about?" Asked Kaminari. "Were we supposed to be getting visitors tonight?"

Iida shook his head. "I don't believe so. If the teachers had intended to perform an inspection of our dorms, they surely would've informed us sooner."

"Which begs the question." Tokoyami added in his usual monotone. "If it's not one of the teachers, then who would be paying us a visit this late at night?"

The boys continued to puzzle that thought amongst themselves for a moment. Then, they were drawn out of their thoughts by a new voice.

"Heya boys! All finished decorating your rooms?" Said Mina Ashido as she, along with most of the other girls in class 1-A, approached from their side of the dorm. The only ones missing from their number were Tooru and Tsuyu Asui.

"Yeah, just about done." Kaminari replied with a grin.

"So who was at the door? Was it one of the teachers?" Izuku asked curiously.

Ochako Uraraka gave a shrug. "Dunno. Hagakure was the one who went down to answer, but she hasn't come back yet."

Momo Yaoyorozu eyed the direction of the front door, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. "You know, I don't recall Mr Aizawa mentioning a late-night visit or inspection. Was anyone expecting a visit from family or something?" The response she got was a series of shaking heads.

Any further conversation was put on hold when Tooru showed up. As usual, the only parts of her that were visible were her T-shirt and tracksuit bottoms. Everything else was completely invisible.

What caught everyone's attention however was the object she was holding. It was a fairly large, cube-shaped box made entirely out of some kind of metal, painted mostly black with stylized green markings all over it. But besides what looked like a port in the top, there weren't that many defining features to it.

"Hey guys!" Tooru chirped with her usual enthusiasm as she walked up to join the group. "There wasn't anybody at the door. But check out this doohickey I found on the doorstep!"

She held out the cube to give everyone a better look at it. Most of the others gave it some curious and perplexed stares, Intrigued by the strange object. Iida on the other hand…

"Gah!" The class rep exclaimed as he snapped into a strange pose. "What in heavens name were you thinking bringing that in here Hagakure?! For all we know, it could be some kind of fiendish trap or a bomb set by the league of villains!"

Sero gave him a bemused look. "Dude, not saying that that's not possible, but it's kind of unlikely."

"Indeed." Tokoyami concurred with a nod. "After their actions at the training trip along with the incident involving their leader, to attempt something so soon afterwards with only draw too much attention to themselves."

Iida still looked uneasy, but Tokoyami's logical explanation seemed to calm him down a little. Meanwhile Izuku was closely examining the box, trying to figure out what it could possibly be for.

"Hmmm… are you sure there was no one there?" He asked the invisible girl. "Not even a letter or something?"

Unseen to anyone, Tooru tapped a finger to her lips in thought before snapping her fingers. "Ah! Now that you mention it, I did find this note lying on the ground beside it."

She pulled a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Izuku. Kaminari and Mineta (who'd climbed up the back of the sofa) peaked over his shoulders as he unfurled and read it aloud.

"'Take me inside and gather up the rest of your classmates. Once everyone's all together, just push the little red button on the side, and all will be revealed. A I.'"

When Izuku finished reading, everyone puzzled to each other over the vagueness of the message. Numerous questions buzzing through their heads like: Why would someone send whatever the box was to them? Why would it want everyone together? Who was this A I character?

"Well, we ain't gonna find out anything by just sitting around and speculating." Kaminari eventually said. Everybody else nodded in agreement.

Iida gave a resigned sigh. "Very well then. I propose that half of us remain here to ensure that the device is in no way a threat. The rest of us shall scour the dormitories and gather up our remaining classmates."

With that, everyone split up to carry out their assigned tasks. Kirishima, Kaminari, Sato, Tokoyami, Mina and Ochako went off to find their classmates, while everyone else remained in the lounge.


(Time skip)

A few minutes later, the entirety of class 1A had gathered together in the common area. Some of them were a little annoyed at being disturbed, but understood when they learned why…

"THIS FUCKING THING HAD BETTER BE A DAMN GOOD REASON FOR WAKING ME UP DAMMIT!"

… others on the other hand, particularly a certain walking explosive, were not pleased either way.

Iida and Kirishima tried to calm Bakugou down a little while everyone else settled down. Oddly, Tsuyu kept sending some odd glances towards the students who been involved in Bakugou's rescue from the league of villains, but no one paid it any mind for now.

With everyone settled and Bakugou having settle down (mostly), Midoriya reached around the cube and pushed the button.

…And leapt back in surprise when it started to shake violently.

Four segmented legs extended from each bottom corner of the cube and the port in the top slid open. From within rose a strange looking orb that resembled a Lightning lamp which, without warning, sent out a wave of light that strafed across the entire room.

"What the hell?!" Kaminari yelped.

"Hey! What gives?!" Cried Mina as the beam washed over her.

"Everyone! Brace yourselves and be ready for anything!" Iida barked, snapping into a combat-ready stance. Some of the other students followed his lead while the less combat ready backed away.

The beam continued its scan across the room for a few more moments before suddenly cutting out. Then to everyone's bewilderment, the cube spoke.

-Area Scan complete. All necessary biological signatures present. Initiating trans-warp in three… Two… One…-

The bulb released a massive flash of light that encompassed the entire room. When it died down the entirety of class 1a had completely disappeared, leaving only the now inert cube on the coffee table.


(Unknown dimension)

Izuku groaned as he regained consciousness. As he slowly got his bearings together, he opened his eyes and found himself sitting on a king-size couch in an unknown room.

Looking around, he saw that he was in a lavish theater room. The walls around them were completely black and decorated with neon green lines that resembled a circuitboard. The majority of the room was taken up by the couch he was sitting on along with a few more where, much to his relief, his other classmates were slowly coming around. In front of them were a pair of closed curtains, a typical dark red color with a gold edge along the bottom.

"Ugh, what was that?" asked a groggy Ochako. Similar groans sounded across the room as everyone came to their senses.

"I-is everyone all right?" Momo called out. Everyone replied in their own way.

"Yeah! I'm good!"

"I – I think so."

"I'm OK kero~"

"I am adequate."

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SHIT?!"

It took some time, but eventually everyone was awake and coherent. With that out of the way they took a moment to examine their surroundings.

"–whistle– Dang, check this place out! It's like we're in some kinda swanky theater!" Sero remarked with a whistle.

Yugo Aoyama nodded in agreement. "Oui mon ami! Very magnifique! Unfortunately I can't tell which one exactly though."

"Hmmm." Momo hummed to herself. She tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Well at the very least, this place is certainly eye-catching."

"Why thank you Miss Yaoyorozu! It took me eons to get the decor just how I liked it."

Everyone jumped at sudden voice.

Standing on the stage (which they could've sworn was unoccupied a moment ago) was a humanoid figure dressed in an all-black tracksuit, along with equally black trainers and motorcycle gloves. The figure had his hood up and his face was covered by a black facemask with luminous green eyebrows, mustache and goatee.

At least, that's what everyone thought. Right up until one of the eyebrows rose and the mustache perked up as if he were grinning.

"Greetings and bienvenue, students of class 1A." He said. His voice held a British accent and seemed to be a mixture of several voices at once, like he was speaking through a voice changer. "Please excuse my unorthodox methods but for some odd reason, I couldn't just snap you all here like I'd preferred to. Thus this was currently the only way I was capable of transporting you all here."

Everyone just stared at the oddly dressed figure in stunned silence. Eventually, Iida spoke up. "W–who are you?! Identify yourself this instant!" The Class-rep barked. Behind him, most of the other students prepared them selves for the worst.

The figure raised his hands in a universal sign of surrender. "Whoa! Steady on there lad. I know this is a bit of a surprise but no need to go flying off the handle." The figure heaved an exasperated sigh. "Perhaps I should introduce myself to ease the tension a little. My name is Anonymous Ideas, but feel free to call me 'Anon' for short."

The students were bemused.

"Huh?! What the shit kind of name is that?!" Bakugou demanded as he flexed his hand. Others like Kirishima and Kaminari nodded in agreement.

Anonymous (somehow) shot him a skewed look. "Oh? And I suppose something like 'Lord Explosion Murder' is any more sensible?" He asked sarcastically. Then he turned his attention back to the rest of the class, ignoring the slew of expletives thrown his way by the walking stick of dynamite.

"Anyway, no need to get yourknickers in a twist. I'm not a villain and I'm not a vigilante. Matter-of-fact as far as your world is concerned, I don't even exist."

His words, some of the most skittish students like Mineta and Koda down a little. However, others still had the suspicions.

"So what are you then?" Ojiro asked, cocking an eyebrow. "And what do you mean by 'your world'?"

"Now to answer that question, I need to ask a question of my own." Anonymous replied. He leaned forward slightly and laced his fingers together. "Has anyone here ever heard of, the multiverse?"

"… I have." Izuku said after a few seconds. "In theory, the multi-verse is a series of several different universes, some similar to each other and others completely different. They exist alongside our universe, but we just can't see them because they … vibrate on a different frequency to our own."

"That's right." Momo nodded in agreement. "In the former case, a parallel universe, there would only be relatively minor changes like all of us having different quirks or personalities. In the latter case however, alternate universes, some of us may not even exist and history itself could be much different from what we remember."

With that in mind, the entire class began to daydream about possible different worlds.

Mineta and Kaminari started daydreaming about a world where every hero (besides themselves) was a sexy woman. Tsuyu and Kyoka caught on to their train of thought however, the former smacking Mineta in the head with her tongue and the latter jamming her ear-jack into Kaminari's ear.

Ochako imagined a world where her family was as well-off as Momo's. In Iida's case, a world where his brother had never been attacked by Stain and was still a full-time hero. Bakugou imagined a world where he was the number one top hero, with the masses cheering his name for all to hear.

Even Shoto couldn't help but think of a world where his father, the pro hero Endeavor, was more of an actual father to his family. The thought of such a world existing brought a whimsical smile to the double-quirked boy's face.

Anonymous let them daydream for another couple minutes, then clapped his hands to get their attention. "Alright, back to business. I'm what you might call…an Inter-Dimensional Entity. I exist outside of the multiverse and happen to be able to view the various worlds within it, like channels on a television." Seeing their dumbfounded faces, he gave everyone a moment to let that sink in. "I came across your world some time ago during a stroke of boredom – Yes, entities like me get bored too, moving on! - and after observing it for a few months, I have to admit… I'm disappointed."

"…Say what?!" Most of the class bellowed. Most of the class waterfront expressions, a couple of them even looking ready to attack the entity. Some of the more levelheaded of them, however, looked pensive.

"What exactly do you mean by 'disappointed'?" Todoroki asked after a moment. His question hushed his fellow students' complaints and brought a smile to Anonymous' unseen face.

'Nice to see that some of them are capable of keeping their tempers in check." He briefly thought to himself. "Simply put, I find that far too many of your current 'heroes' are only focused on things like fame, fortune and power, the last of which being what annoys me the most. The best example your world had of a true and proper hero, the main one who truly embodied the qualities of one, was your former 'Symbol of Peace' All-might. Emphasis on 'former'."

While he probably could have been a little less blunt about it, the class couldn't deny Anonymous' words. There were an alarming amount of heroes nowadays that were only in the business for less than noble reasons. Izuku and Bakugou took the last part of his statement a little hard though; they both felt responsible for All-might's forced retirement.

Izuku felt part guilty because he had accepted the former pro's quirk, One for All, therefore leaving All-might weakened. Bakugou on the other hand, blamed himself for being weak and allowing the League of Villains to capture him. Which had forced All-might to fight his arch-rival All-for-One and in doing so, use up the last of his dwindling strength.

"So…" Anonymous continued. "I've decided it's time to 'step in' as it were. While I sadly can't change what heroes today are like, that doesn't mean I can't do something about the next generation. Which is why I've brought all of you, the finest students in the finest hero school, here." He paused for a moment, letting that sink in.

The students muttered amongst themselves for a moment before Shoji asked. "So, how exactly do you plan on doing that?"

"Yeah! Are ya gonna make go through some kinda super tough training routine?" Kirishima asked, notably excited by the prospect of extra training.

"Not exactly…" Anon replied. With a snap of his fingers, the screen behind him lit up. "You see, there are many other heroes out there in the multiverse besides the ones of your world. Some of which were so great, they practically became legends across the cosmos. My plan, is to let you all take a peek into another universe and watch the adventures of one of the greatest heroes the multiverse has ever known."

The glare of the screen died down. Now it showed a stylized bat symbol over a stormy night background. Written across the bat's wingspan were the words…

Batman

Arkham Asylum

"Batman?" Izuku raised an eyebrow. The name was completely unfamiliar to him and considering his obsession with recording and documenting any hero that popped up, that was saying something.

"Seriously? That's it? Sounds like a pretty simple name for a multiverse-famous hero." Kyoka remarked.

"Tch, sounds like a lame-ass extra to me!" Bakugou snorted. "Bet I could beat his ass easy!"

"BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!"

Bakugou's confident (read: arrogant) smirk dropped a split-second later, when the sound of gut busting multi-toned laughter filled the room. All eyes turned to Anonymous, who had fallen back in his chair and was currently guffawing up a storm.

"Heheheh~ You! Beat the Batman?!" He eventually wheezed out, wiping an unseen tear from where his eye would be. "Hah! The chances of that ever happening, are about as much as Midoriya over there burning his entire collection of All-Might merchandise!"

The class burst into chuckles and giggles; having seen Izuku's room and known him for months now, they could see the where the entity was coming from. Izuku himself blushed a deep red in embarrassment, Ochako patting him on the shoulder while trying (and failing) to suppress her own giggles. Bakugou growled and was about to go on a rant when suddenly all traces of Anonymous' mirth vanished, shutting him up.

"But seriously though. His name may be simple but never underestimate the Batman. Many have done so over the years, only to pay for it dearly. Batman is a hero who stands heads and shoulders with Gods and Monsters and has achieved things that most heroes from your world could only dream of. He has learned and mastered almost every martial art you can think of, earned twelve master's degrees, and has detective skills that could potentially put Sherlock Holmes to shame."

Anonymous paused for moment. The class were in awe as they listened to his words. The more they heard about Batman, the enraptured they became.

"He is the reason why the criminals of the city he protects, Gotham city, breathe easier when the sun comes up. Why? Because he is the Worlds Greatest Detective, the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight of Justice, Gotham's Shadow of Vengeance!

Because he, is the Goddamn Batman!"

Following Anonymous' speech, the students began to chatter amongst themselves. While a few of them still remained skeptical, the majority of them were now excited for what lay head. Some more so than others…

'Whoa. The more I hear about this Batman, the more he awesome he sounds! I wonder what kind of quirk he has. Probably something bat or sound related if I had to guess.' Izuku pondered to himself in his head.

"Astounding! To think that we have been given the chance to observe such a fine example of a true hero! We must all make sure not to let this opportunity go to waste!" Iida declared, mechanically chopping his arm.

"Indeed. From what I can gather this Batman sounds a lot like kind of hero I aim to become one day." Tokoyami concurred, rubbing his…chin?

Ochako pumped her arm in excitement. "He sounds like such a badass! I can't wait to see what he can do!"

"Really? Well in that case…" Anon interjected. "Does anyone have anymore comments or questions? Or shall we get this show on the road?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

Momo, Tsuyu and Todoroki raised their hands to ask a question but got dragged down into their seats by Mina and Kirishima. The rest of the students, even Bakugou, sat down calmly and prepared for the viewing.


AN: So, what do ya think? Interested in seeing more?

Just so you know, I'm going to be making a few minor alterations here and there. Nothing major, just slight changes in dialogue and the like to make sure the guys in charge don't get on my case.

So sorry for being gone so long. Had a bad case of writer's block and minimal chances to write (curse the lack of service out at sea!)

Until next time, Cheerio!
