    Summary

    "What was that boy?" Spitelout asked.
    The whole council had turned their heads towards Hiccup, looking far more interested now that the conversation had shifted from Spitelout's long-winded war plans. It was the first time Hiccup had spoken up all meeting. The first time he had spoken up in any meeting. In six months, Stoick had only managed to strongarm him into showing up four times now, and he'd spent the last three of those times standing in a corner of the hall and refusing to participate.
    "I told you, you're wrong." He repeated, still in the same soft, calm voice he talked to the village children in. That he spoke to everybody in. There was an anger that Astrid could sense in him, that everyone seemed to sense in him, but it was quiet. He didn't yell or fight or throw things, just remained endlessly calm. It drove everyone mad. Sometimes, the light caught in his eyes in a way that made them shine like he knew it.

    or - five times hiccup did something that proved how much he'd changed, and one time he did something that reminded everyone he was the same

    Summary

    It turns out that being wired into giant war machines doesn’t play nice with human brains. The Earth Mechanical Defense Force, or EMDF, learned that the hard way when their pilots started going… neurotic, let’s say, after a few missions.

    The obvious solution to that problem was to simply wire the pilot into their mecha permanently, that way their mind wasn’t being strained by the constant in and out. Unfortunately that strategy backfired and the pilots started going neurotic much, much faster, and this time they were giant and made of metal and much harder to put down.

    So, the obvious next step would be to pull the plug on that idea and go back to the drawing board, right? No, that’s ridiculous, the next step was obviously to simply…

    Make the mecha forget they’d ever been human in the first place.

    Somewhere along the line someone should have pulled the plug, but they’d already invested so much into the project, and you know what they say about sunk cost fallacy.

    Summary

    Nedzu tilted his head. “According to our records, despite someone attempting to do everything they could to detach you from this fact, you are, in fact, the child of a legal Hero.”

    Aizawa sucked in a hissed breath as Yagi’s attention snapped to Midoriya…Midoriya who seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.

    Yagi’s voice wavered. “Young Midoriya…”

    “Do you understand what this means, Midoriya?” Nedzu asked calmly, folding his paws in front of him.

    Midoriya did not answer.

    Aizawa decided to speak for him. “You are a Legacy.”

Surely, their attempts to outwit each other will not leave them intertwined. After all, he’s Hot Rod and he’s always in control, even when it doesn’t feel like it.
