"Izuku sweetie, will you take out the trash," Inko asked as she saw her son walking down the hall.

Izuku looked up from his phone. "Sure mom," he replied as he walking into the kitchen to get the trash bag. He stepped out into the crisp winter air and headed down the stairs of the apartment building they were living in and around the back of the building, when a bright flash of light flew overhead.


Approximately seven weeks ago (Earth time)

"Run, our defenses have fallen, and the colony ship won't last but a few moments," Galfore shouted to the princess.

Koriand'r in fear plead for her K'norfka to take the escape pod with her.

"No princess," Galfore shook his head. "I have to provide covering fire, so the Citadel do not know where to follow." He pushed the young lady towards the door. "I only wish things had been different youngling," he said as pod sealed and ejected.

With tears streaking her face, the pod activated and put Princess Koriand'r into cryostasis. Weeks later her pod bleeped, indicating a hospitable planet for her species. The blue orb hung in the sky, speckled by verdant green land. The pod slipped into the atmosphere and angled into a densely populated area.

Izuku ducked when the object flashed over the skyline and crashed into a nearby area. Normal instincts in a person would tell them to run away. Izuku however after years of being put down for being weak and quirkless led him to not react to dangerous situations in the normal way. He quickly ran over to where he saw the object land and peaked around the corner. In a steaming crater was a large metal cylinder. Izuku nervously searched his surroundings as he slid into the hole. He came up to the container and saw a big blinking button.

He tentatively reached out and pushed it, with a hiss of air, a panel popped open and a gorgeous orange skinned teenaged girl fell out. Izuku stood frozen as she blinked awake, her stunning emerald eyes looked up at him. "Hello, I am Koriand'r, do you know what planet I am on?" she asked as she looked at the person standing over her.

Izuku was even more confused as the girl started speaking to him, yet it sounded like no language he had ever heard. He wasn't a linguist, but he was pretty sure most humans weren't capable of making those noises. He swallowed before attempting to communicate. "I'm Izuku Midoriya do you uh, speak Japanese maybe?"

Princess Koriand'r laughed for a moment as she realized that of course this species would not know her language, the colony ship was already in an uncharted rim of space when her people fled the Citadel attacking Tamaran. So she floated off the ground, shocking the green haired boy and connected their lips so she could learn his language.

Izuku froze in, some emotion, as the girl began to kiss him deeply. His mind blanked as he felt her lips on his own. After a moment, the girl stepped away. "There, that is much better, I am Princess Koriand'r of Tamaran, what world am I on?"

Izuku nodded his head before he collapsed on the ground.

Awakening a few moments later, Izuku looked up at the sky, or would have if his view wasn't obstructed by an orange girls face. "Hello, I am Princess Koriand'r of Tamaran, what world am I on?"

"Earth," Izuku dumbly answered as he blinked at the impassive face staring down at him.

"What a strange name for a planet, to call it something as banal as dirt," Koriand'r questioned as she stood up. Izuku watched the muscles in her core stretched through the opening in her purple leotard, as she took in her surroundings. "Earthling, your face is turning very red, are you unwell?" she asked as she look back to Izuku.

"Eep," Izuku squeaked as he quickly stood up. "I'm sorry, I just, Tamaran, Princess, what?" he questioned.

"Yes, I am from the planet Tamaran," Koriand'r answered. "I am it's princess and next in line for the throne, or I would have been if my people had not been attacked and forced to flee from The Citadel."

"Oh wow, an alien," Izuku muttered as he paced. "Or just a crazy girl with a quirk, a really cute crazy girl but still. Oh who should I call, the cops, the government, a hero," Izuku sped up speaking and his walking speed.

Koriand'r swiveled her head back and forth to watch this strange Earthling. "I am the sorry but I do not have time to watch your native dances," she said as she floated off the ground. "I must see to finding a way to contact my people," she told Izuku as she flew off through the sky.

Izuku watched as the girl left him in the crater. "Uh, so wow," he muttered before he heard a hissing sound behind him. He jumped and noticed the pod was closing its door and locked. "I should probably do something about this," Izuku sighed as he planned a way to get the pod out of the hole in the ground and somewhere people wouldn't find it.


For a few hours Princess Koriand'r flew across the cityscape. "So many lights and so many people," she said. "Someone must have an intergalactic scanner," she hoped as she landed near by a crowd of people. The strange forms and shapes they had, indicated to her this was a hub world with many passing species, but she could not recognize a single one. "Excuse me," she said politely as she tapped a very tall lizard looking man on the shoulder. The lizard man with a bandana on his face turned towards the person who was trying to get his attention. "Do you know where I may find a multiphasic ionizing transcommunication array?"

The man blinked one eye and then the other. "A what?" he asked again.

"Standard intergalactic radio beacon?" she changed her request to a more basic form of communication.

"Look if this is some kind of prank then I don't get it," he said again as he started to get annoyed.

Huffing Princess Koriand'r took off and flew over a few buildings looking for another group of people. Before she could get very far something grabbed her out of the air. Thick wooden branches pulled her down towards the ground. "Woah, where's the fire," Kamui Woods asked.

"Fire, I was unaware there was a fire I needed to go to," Koriand'r replied.

Kamui Woods, "You don't look familiar, what's your name."

"I am Princess Koriand'r of Tamaran, are you able to help me," she asked nicely even though she really did not enjoy being tied up like this.

"Never heard of a Princess Koriand'r or Tamaran, and you look a little young to be using your quirk without a license. But since I'm a hero, I'll do what I can to help," Kamui shrugged as he released the teen.

"Good, I am looking for a way to communicate with my people, they were displaced when The Citadel attacked our home planet and drove us out," Koriand'r said happily, that someone would be able to help her finally.

Kamui took a moment before he sighed. "Look take your prank somewhere else kid, I have work to do, and don't let me catch you using your quirk without a license or I'll bust you next time." He extended out his arms as he swung away.

Princess Koriand'r fumed at how she was offhandedly dismissed. "This planet is so incredibly rude," she shouted as she stormed off. "I am not one who plays pranks, I need to see if my people are safe and alive."

Izuku had managed to get the object home without much fuss, despite it's size it was surprisingly light and after getting it out of the crater he was able to roll it along the road to the back of his apartment. He entered and wiped his brow.

"You were gone a while sweetie," Inko said worriedly. "Did something happen."

"Sort of, yes, no I met a girl," Izuku guessed.

Inko gasped before smiling at her son. "Oh tell me everything, my baby's growing up."

"Well she's kind of tall, can fly and has orange skin," Izuku described her.

Inko smirked and pointed out the window. "Mhm, just like that girl floating outside, Izuku, you didn't have to try to butter me up before you brought her home, let her in."

Izuku looked in terror out the window as he was pretty sure the girl hadn't followed him home, yet she found him all the same. "Princess Koriand'r," Izuku shouted as he threw open the door, startling her. "What are you doing here," he quietly hissed as he tried to get an explanation from her before his mother invited her inside. Life conspired against him as she did just that.

"Oh dear, please don't stand in the walkway, come in, come in," Inko bustled to push Princess Koriand'r into her home. After a few minutes of getting to know Izuku's new "girlfriend" Inko managed to step away from the table and take Izuku with her deeper into the apartment. "Sweetie," she said as she pinched her brow. "What did you do?"

Izuku shrugged. "I don't really know mom," he replied honestly.

Inko shook her head. "So what do we do," she asked.

"Should we… keep her," he raised his arms in defeat.

"She not a pet," Inko said. "I don't think, there should be someone we can point her to," she concluded.

"She said her species was attacked and chased off their home planet," Izuku pointed out. "I think this goes way beyond what anyone can handle."

"We should call someone," Inko suggested.

Izuku threw his hands up. "Who, we don't know anyone, and I don't really feel comfortable calling some faceless government agent who might think it's better to quiet this up. Give me a few days to figure something out," Izuku requested.

Inko thought for a moment before giving up in frustration. "Fine, but she'll need a place to stay. And after convincing Princess Koriand'r that remaining with the Midoriya's was the best option while they figured out a plan, this decision drastically altered the fate of the planet.


A few weeks later. "Midoriya, I do not understand it," she huffed as her cheeks puffed out in anger. "This Kacchan, is hurting you and he wants to be a hero?" she questioned.

Izuku rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah it's complicated."

"And the teachers and other students, they are also complicated," Koriand'r followed up with another question.

"I don't know," Izuku shrugged as he walked alongside the Tamaranian princess.

"That is not right, the Wood of Kamui has told me using my "quirk" is illegal without a license, do humans get licenses this early in their development," she continued probing.

"No, you have to go to a hero school to get licensed, like U.A. or Shiketsu," Izuku answered. "So they're breaking the law when they do that," he admitted.

"It seems most unfair, even more so as you do not have the quirk to fight back with, that is most dishonorable," she concluded.

Izuku just nodded as the pair went under an overpass. He liked his time with Princess Koriand'r, after some finagling, Izuku and Inko were able to get her enrolled into the same school with Izuku and she had been placed into his class and for the first time in almost a decade, he had a friend once more. He had worried that once the other students got a hold of her, she'd be horrified at associating with him, but to his and everyone elses surprise she had instead firmly grabbed hold of his arm and told off the class.

"This Izuku Midoriya is mine, I do not like those who are being mean to him, he is very kind. So please by nice to him from now on," Koriand'r warned them off. A few of the students snickered at how some random foreigner was coming to the quirkless losers defense. But she didn't back down and felt it wasn't worth the effort to bother him after that.

"Oh look a skin suit and a snack," a voice warbled from behind them. Izuku and Koriand'r turned around to see a looming body of gelatinous slime. Everything then happened in seconds as the slime man lunged at Koriand'r, Izuku dove forward pushing her out of the way.

Princess Koriand'r froze for a second watching as yet another person sacrificed themselves for her. She had been willing not to use her powers as required by the Earth laws, as she represented her people and didn't want to reflect poorly on them. But now someone was being hurt. She chose to act instead, with a cry of anger she charged up energy bolts in her hands and flung them into the slime where they sizzled and burned on impact.

"Oh GOD, it hurts," the slime man squealed in pain as he reeled back from the assault. In doing so he released Izuku who fell to the ground in a pile, taking in big gulps of air.

"Do not be hurting the innocents," Koriand'r shouted as she placed her hands together and fired a singular beam which punched a hole straight through the villain.

"Most impressive," All Might said proudly. "But let me take it from here," he said as appearing in front of the teens. "It is my job and all that, Delaware Smash," the battlecry was drowned out as the slime exploded into small globs.

All Might spent the next few moments collecting the villain while Koriand'r tended to Izuku. "Well, I must be off."

Izuku's brain working off of adrenalin, suddenly spurred him into action. "All Might wait," he said as he grabbed onto the hero. Luckily All Might was able to hear him before taking off. "I uh, have something really important to tell you. I think you might be the only one who can help me."

"So she's an alien," All Might nodded as he stared down at the two teens. He had just finished listening to Izuku explain what he knew and then Koriand'r further provided information on her species. "And you can prove this?" he asked. Not wanting to outright dismiss their claim, but when someone tells you they not only met an alien, but one of them is an alien, it doesn't hurt to see if they aren't pulling your leg.

"Oh yes, my escape pod, it is still at the house of Midoriya," Koriand'r happily bounced.

A few minutes later as All Might had grabbed the two teens and launched himself across town he watched as Izuku removed a tarp that was covering a metal tube. "Hmm," All Might hummed as he looked at the object.

"Let me open it for you," Koriand'r said as she pushed a button and opened a panel.

After All Might poked and prodded at the pod for a moment he stood up and proudly stated. "I have no idea what I'm doing. But," he said raising a finger. "I know someone who might. Do you mind if I take a few photos and get back to you," All Might asked as he pulled out his phone.

The next day there was a knock on the door of the Midoriya's apartment, Inko answered the door and stumbled back in alarm as there were some very intimidating people standing outside. "Oh hello, Mrs. Midoriya," Nezu greeted, drawing her gaze downward from the U.A. staff. "I am Principal Nezu, I am here to discuss things with this Princess Koriand'r of Tamaran," he introduced himself and waited to be let in. Inko nervously nodded and stepped back as Nezu, All Might, Recovery Girl and Thirteen entered the apartment.

After the long conversation Nezu nodded and admitted that it was very likely that Koriand'r was an actual alien lifeform and that what she informed him of the current galactic neighborhood was both fascinating and alarming. He requested that Princess Koriand'r attend U.A. as a student in the following year and for the time being come by U.A. each week to discuss any relevant information.

And so for the next month Izuku barely saw the Princess anymore, and while he was happy that she was getting the help she needed, he no longer had a friend to just talk to. "Sweetie, what's the problem," Inko sat on Izuku's bed.

"I don't know, I feel," Izuku started to try to explain.

"Lost," Inko sighed. "I can see it in your eye when you watch the Princess leave to go to U.A."

"I just," Izuku mused.

"Like you want to stay with her but don't want to hold her back," Inko gently rubbed Izuku's back.

"Yeah, how do you," Izuku questioned.

Inko chuckled. "How do you think I felt when your father always goes overseas to work, I have to struggle not to go chasing after him each time. Even though I know I wouldn't be of any help to him."

"And I can't because I'm quirkless," Izuku huffed as he buried his face in his pillow.

Inko grimaced as she realized that Princess Koriand'r was going to go on to do amazing things and her son would be relegated to the sidelines once more. "Yeah."

"What if I tried," Izuku asked.

"Tried what sweetie," seeking clarification for her confusion.

"Tried to get into U.A.," Izuku sat up. "Then I could be around her you know, and I, wouldn't have to say goodbye."

Internally Inko was squealing in delight that her son had finally been bitten by the love bug, but she was also worried about what it would mean for her son to try and be a hero. "I don't know, how would you do that?"

"I don't have a quirk and in only a few months wouldn't be able to train myself to be strong enough for whatever they offer, but what if I," Izuku pondered as he pulled out a special notebook under his mattress. Over the months of contact, Izuku had questioned Koriand'r about so many aspects of her life that she knew that he touched on how she draws her powers and what a lot of alien technology is based on. She talked about a species that were distant cousins to her own races, that absorbed solar energy and how they could use it to manipulate gravity among other things.

So Izuku started drawing blueprints, he was no expert mechanic but it would be like giving a modern day science book to someone in the 1700's they may not be able to do everything with it, but it would be a huge head start over anyone else and Izuku had just that, alien ways of thinking.

And it all started with a line and a curve.
