An Unexpected Turn: A Meeting of the Minds
The world came back into focus slowly. Blurred concrete and a brick wall loomed close by. Sirens and garbled voices filled the air.
What … happened?
Ah, that's right. Izuku was on break and visiting with Inko. He invited Toshinori to brunch with them at a new western style restaurant in the shopping district. Then… A villain alert popped up on Izuku's phone. A villain who called himself Melder was fleeing the scene of a bank robbery nearby. He was infamous for his quirk that temporarily fused two people into one, which caused confusion and panic enough to distract or disable heroes and police officers in pursuit of him. Izuku had been explaining Melder's past run-ins with heroes when they turned a corner and the villain ran headlong into them and -
A hand hesitantly shook their shoulder. Someone was calling their names.
Everything ached.
Not as bad as he was used to - but why did her chest and abdomen hurt?
Nothing felt quite right. His head - her head - their head spun. Hard concrete scraped against their cheek and shoulder as they shifted to sit up. They looked down at their hands braced against the sidewalk, while wild and wavy hair fell around their face and tickled the back of their neck. They raised an unsteady hand, pinched a lock of the green-gold hair and held it in front of their face, confusion stirring in their gut.
"Mom? All Might? A-are you okay?" They knew that voice!
Midoriya! My son!
They turned their head and found themselves face to face with an incredibly worried and fretting Izuku. Green eyes darted between their own, nervous and searching for - for what? The poor boy's hands shook as he reached out, not quite resting them on their arms.
"Izuku, my boy -" their brows furrowed as they brushed their throat. Their voice wasn't right; it was raspy and too low - too high - somewhere between feminine and masculine. They placed a hand on their forehead, trembling as the world spun out of focus.
"J-just keep c-calm. I-it's going to be okay," Izuku frantically muttered, looking like he might pass out himself. "M-my mom and A-All Might are f-fused. They're th-the same person. This - Y-you're in there right? Mom? All Might? M-Mom … Might?"
Immediately, everything snapped into focus and they pulled their boy into a hug.
"I'm - we're here, my boy." They held him close, gently running their fingers through and ruffling his curly hair. "We're right here. Are you okay, Izuku?"
"Y-yeah," Izuku stuttered awkwardly, wrapping his arms hesitantly around his mother and mentor. They sat like that on the sidewalk until both of their shaking subsided. Then Izuku sat back as his guardian - guardians? - released him, "Do you - Do you remember what happened?"
They looked around, brows furrowed in thought. The shopping district was a bustle of activity. A few heroes stood nearby, talking with a couple of the police officers on scene. Other officers were spread out taking statements from witnesses. An ambulance was parked close to the street entrance. Paramedics rushed about, tending to shell shocked patients who seemed too preoccupied staring at their own hands as if they did not recognize them.
"I - We-"
"Excuse me!" A young police officer jogged up to them, "Hi. Someone said you are one of the fusions?"
"Ah, yes?" They coughed slightly, a twinge flaring in their chest, and allowed Izuku to help them stand on unsteady legs. "Huh, I think I'm taller… maybe shorter?"
The young woman blinked in surprise, then smiled and pulled out a clipboard, "I am Officer Amaya. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"
"Sure," they said, looking down at themself. Their individual outfits as Toshinori and Inko seemed to have mixed with them. Toshinori's khaki pants, belt and muted blue sweater-vest survived the fusion, along with Inko's rosy pink, collared shirt and brown flats. All the while, Izuku held onto their arm to keep them from falling over.
The officer gave them a quizzical look, "Are you two his parents?"
Izuku jolted while his fused mother and mentor gave the officer a conflicted look.
"Yes and no?" They furrowed their brows in thought as if trying to untie a particularly tough knot, "I'm - We're his mother and school teacher."
"I see," the officer nodded her head, absently adding, "It's just - In cases like these with Melder, we found couples who become fused have an easier time than strangers and you two are doing really well."
Izuku glanced at his fused guardians when they tensed and gaped at them when he caught the light blush creeped across their face.
"Well," they awkwardly brushed a hand through their hair, "We've known each other for a few months now, so I wouldn't say we are strangers." We've been on first name basis for how long? Oh my…
Officer Amaya smiled knowingly and nodded.
"Anyway, we're keeping track of people who were fused by Melder's quirk. I need to get your names for the report." The officer clicked her pen, looking expectantly at them.
"Toshinko Midoriyagi - ah." A blush spread across the fusion's cheeks. Then they chuckled and the chuckle unwound into a rolling laugh. They shook their head and held their aching side.
Izuku looked between them and the officer, his flustered expression flitting between worry and humor.
They shot the officer an embarrassed smile as they brushed a tear from their eye, "I might have mixed them up a bit."
"Maybe one at a time would be best," the officer said with a smile and a laugh. "Toshinko is a fun name though. Most fused people are advised by our councilors to go by some mix of their names, at least until it wears off. It gives them a better sense of their shared identity. They usually find it calming; although, it looks like you two are doing just fine together."
"Toshinko…" they glanced at Izuku, "What do you think?"
Izuku jumped, then seeing his fused guardians' questioning look, he flashed an uncertain smile, "Uh, I mean, sure. It's really up to you."
"I'll admit it certainly fits," Toshinko said with a hand on their cheek and a wide grin.
"Great!" The police officer chirped with a friendly smile, "So, your separate names are?"
"Inko Midoriya - ah - and this is my son, Izuku Midoriya," Toshinko said, putting a hand atop the boy's head, grinning widely when their boy blushed.
"Thank you," the officer said as she wrote the names on her clipboard. "And your other name?"
"Toshinori Yagi," they said. Best to not mention I am also All Might, they thought, smiling to themself. It was already hard enough with the media hounding Toshinori's True Form outside U.A. grounds. They would have a field day if they found out All Might was fused in a Melder incident.
"All Might?" Officer Amaya asked, eyes lighting up in excitement.
Toshinko jolted with a cough of surprise, the taste of iron faintly hitting their tongue.
"I would appreciate it if you kept that to yourself," they said in a hasty whisper, gesturing nervously with both hands.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to overhear. You were thinking very loudly," she tapped her temple in explanation and smiled apologetically. "Of course, I won't mention it. You deserve privacy in your retirement." She went back to writing on the clipboard for a moment before tucking it under her arm. "That's all I need from you. Though…"
"Yes?" Toshinko asked.
"Well," Officer Amaya gestured to the ambulance, "Most of the more shell shocked fused folk spend the day at the hospital just to keep them from hurting themselves accidentally, but you are incredibly stable. In high spirits, even. It's your choice if you want to go and rest until you separate. The fusion usually wears off before twenty-four hours."
"Ah, don't worry about me. I think we'll be fine until then." Toshinko said with a thumbs up.
Izuku gaped up at them.
"Are you sure?" he fidgeted, worry creasing his brow, "Shouldn't we at least go home so you can rest? You shouldn't force yourself. I mean -" he waved his hand, gesturing at all of them.
"Nonsense! I feel fine. Don't worry about it, Midoriya, my son." They pulled Izuku into a side hug, "Besides, you were so excited this morning. You wanted to show All Might that restaurant. It would be a shame to miss out on it just for this."
"Just for -?" Izuku sputtered. He stilled when Toshinko place a hand on his head.
"It's alright. Why?" Toshinko gave him a reassuring grin, "Because you're here, son."
Officer Amaya giggled, brushing back her pixie cut before righting her hat.
"Looks like you two will be fine," she said. She winked playfully at Izuku. "Take care of them. They are your mom and your teacher, right? It's not like they are different or ill, just together. Don't be a stranger."
It took a moment for the words to sink in, but when they did the pin dropped. The worried creases disappeared from Izuku's brow and his eyes widened. He whipped his head around, looking at Toshinko in a refreshed light. They smiled down at him with hands on their hips, ever patient with their boy's antics.
"Oh…" he shot his mom and mentor in one an embarrassed, apologetic smile, "R-right. So … brunch?"
