[Izuku sits cross-legged in his room on his bed, a little sheepish, but still wanting to say something. To apologize, just in case. He might not remember what went down while he was affected by the bubbles earlier, but that is why he wants to be sure. To make up for anything that might have happened.]

Um. I just wanted to say thank you to anyone who helped out. I mean, when some of us were younger? I hope I didn't cause too much trouble. Also, ah, I'm sorry about Kacchan, if anything happened that he might have done something.

[Sorry, Bakugo. He's just. Getting ahead there. He doesn't necessarily remember what went down during that chaos with the bubbles. But he does hope that they were able to figure things out without causing too much trouble. Especially where Bakugo was concerned. Izuku knows better than anyone how he was as a kid. And how he would have likely followed along with the blonde. He looks a little sheepish even as he apologizes belatedly, unsure if this might have been necessary, but wanting to get it out there just in case.]

Don't worry! I thought it was fun! I got to be a kid, and then normal but also me from when I first arrived was here?

[procedere]

I guess that's good. If you thought it was fun. Wait, huh? When you first arrived?

[roundandaround]

Yeah! There was a me, and then there was a me from my first day in Ellipsa! All human and no scars and she could only make little, tiny fire!

[procedere]

I guess that makes sense. Some of us just might have been made younger than others. So for you, it might not have been as far back as it was for me....

[Was there some sort of pattern? How many of those bubbles they had touched? He isn't quite sure. But Izuku is curious.]

[roundandaround]

The second time I touched a bubble, anyway. The first time, I was little, like 7 or something.

[procedere]

Twice?

[boombam]

Why the hell are you apologizing for me?! I'm the one who had to take care of your stupid crybaby ass!

[Katsuki huffs. He's not yet realized Izuku's more-so apologizing for the little Katsuki, rather than the big one... though he'd argue even his younger self doesn't need the apologies either!! He was perfectly well behaved and definitely didn't piss Katsuki off every single day--]

un: midoriya

[procedere]

Ah? Um. I meant....you know. Little-Kacchan?

[But he...probably should have expected this. For Bakugo to yell at him. Still, he wants to apologize and thank anyone who had helped look after him anyway. He might only have vague memories, if any, of that time, but even so.]

[boombam]

"Little-Kacchan" did nothin' that needs apologizing for either! He was perfectly well behaved and everyone liked having him around!

[That's such a damn lie that it's almost funny. Of course his younger self was hell for him to take care of, but since Izuku is apologizing he's never going to admit that... instead he's going to act like he was a precious angel.]

You would know if you hadn't gotten yourself turned into a baby! You lucky bastard!

[procedere]

[Izuku presses x to doubt. Sorry, bud. He knows you too well for that...]

It isn't like I suddenly woke up younger on purpose?!

[boombam]

[No!! No doubt allowed!!!!!]

Yeah, well, it was a lotta work havin' to take care of three damn kids with one working arm! Todoroki was useful at least but both of us have jobs, so we REALLY could've used your help with the brats!

[Oh my god he's sounding like a tired mom yelling at a deadbeat dad...]

You owe me for this, Deku! BIG time!

[procedere]

It wasn't just you, was it? I mean. You could ask Hijikata-san for help, right? Or Mike-san?

[Why are they like this?? Why is that exactly what this sounds like, actually?]

It wasn't my fault?!

[Ammy just happily barks at him. Hello. You were no problem at all.]

[procedere]

Ah! A dog!

[She's. So cute. So cute and fluffy...!]

I think both of you were perfectly behaved. Just needed the right stimulation to keep you both on track.

un: midoriya

[procedere]

The right stimulation...? Ah, I mean. I'm glad. If it wasn't too much trouble. Thank you for helping Kacchan, Mike-san.

[Or, well. He assumes as much. That Mike probably helped Bakugo take care of him and the younger Bakugo during all of that. Especially with the blonde only recently having had his surgery and all.]

Re: un: midoriya

[livesoutofspite]

Yeah. For example. Bitty Kitkat loved playing Heroes and Villains. We did that for hours. He was having a blast.

Just gotta find the right thing to keep you little guys focused on something so you could pour all your energy into it.

un: midoriya

[procedere]

I guess I get it. I'm just glad if it wasn't too much trouble, looking after him. Thank you. I don't really remember much, if any, of it, but. Kacchan's telling me a little.

Re: un: midoriya

[livesoutofspite]

You're welcome. That's too bad you don't remember. You were quite adorable.

un: midoriya

[procedere]

Ah? I was?

[He has seen photos. Of course, back home, his mother took some over the years. But he might not be the best, most objective person after having been bullied, with his lower self-esteem as a result.]

Action

[mayoninofukucho]

[Hijikata catches that live stream, but seeing how he's in the same house, he waits until it's finished to head upstairs and rap on Izuku's door (even if it's open).]

That was a nice broadcast, but Izuku-kun, you have nothing to apologise for, nor does Katsuki-kun. It's not like you did it on purpose, and if he annoyed anyone as a kid, they'll just have to forgive him.

[Look at him automatically assuming that little Izuku couldn't possibly have been annoying! That aside, he only spent a fraction of the incident with him and wasn't even around to encounter little Katsuki, so he's curious...]

Do you remember all that you two got up to?

Action

[procedere]

Hm? Ah, Hijikata-san! A-are you sure? I just....um. Well, I know what he was like when he was little, so. I just wanted to...

[To try and get ahead of it? Or something like that. He probably shouldn't just assume the worst like that, but. Well, it's Bakugo. He wouldn't really be surprised if something did happen. If he did upset someone.]

Mm, not really? Why? Did something happen that I should know about?

[mayoninofukucho]

[No matter how awful of a brat Katsuki may have been, he was still a kid, and kids deserve lenience. That said, Hijikata completely understands the need to do damage control for a loved one. As for that question...]

I have no idea, that's why I'm asking you. But if you can't remember, we'll just have to wait for the complaints to roll in, hm?

[He doesn't actually sound concerned that that'll happen.]

All I did with you while you were little was find that missing pet goat. I deposited the reward in your account - you did a really good job keeping it calm! You conked out like a stone after that.

[procedere]

Ah, well. I guess. Whether Kacchan would say anything if anyone complained about him.

[He isn't sure if he can expect any complaints about his younger self. But Hijikata doesn't sound like he expects that. So maybe it is okay? He hopes so. Though probably only time would tell. If anyone messages him about it. What he did during that time.]

A goat? Oh...um, thank you.

[He supposes it was a big day for the younger him. That and if he was so young, he might have still been in the stage of taking naps.]

[mayoninofukucho]

Yeah, you were really gung-ho about going out and helping people! I guess you were always meant to be a hero.

[Granted, how many little kids don't want to be superheroes if they have any frame of reference for it... but even so, Izuku really went above and beyond!]
