_ Chapter 1 _
_ A New Beginning _
"Please buckle your seat belts as we prepare for landing into Japan."
Dex looked up from his daze as he felt the plane start descending. He looked at his reflection in the window. His black hair with blue tips dangled down to his blue eyes.
"Finally, that took forever."
He didn't choose to come to Japan, he just had to according to his mother. She said that he should go to Japan to "train" his quirk, which he never figured out what it was exactly. The doctors always said it was unique and that they never seen anything like it. He should have felt special like a famous superstar, but all it ever got him was questions with no answers. It's not like he even cared what it was anymore, because he knew how to use it effectively. He called it "Zone" because when he decided to, he could make a dome and he could control certain things in the dome.
The airplane hit the ground with a large thud as the plane ran down the runway. Dex sat quietly while they parked the plane in the docking station. He didn't know what to expect as he was from the United States. He was kinda scared to switch cultures so suddenly and alone. The only person that he knew in Japan was his mothers' cousin which he only talked to a handful of times. That would be his house for the next 3 years as he was going to attend the school of U.A.
"Thank you for choosing Cross Countries Flight", a recorded voice said in English and Japanese. He could speak Japanese fluently but he preferred English. He liked America's culture and decided to try to not let go of it. Dex kept all these thoughts inside of his head as the airplane opened and the passengers got off.
He was supposed to look for Rita (his mothers' cousin) right as he got off, but he didn't really know what she looked like. He hoped that she would approach him so he wouldn't have to look but it seemed that wasn't going to be the case. Dex sighed as he made his way over to luggage transporter and waited for his bag. The amount of people crowded around it was unreal and he wasn't able to get to the front.
Dex had an idea and pointed to the ground with his ring, middle, and pointer finger, "Zone."
A grayish dome appeared with a radius of around 20 feet. Just big enough to reach his bag that was coming by on the transporter.
"Switch."
His bag appeared next to him as a little piece of thread off of his shirt teleported to where his bag used to be.
He smiled as he grabbed his bag and went off to find Rita.
- 24 hours later -
Dex ended up finding Rita after he got his bag. She seemed really happy to see him but he figured it was an act. She never had kids and she seemed like she liked to live by herself. They got to her apartment which was around 30 miles from the school. Since he was going to end up staying at the school, he kinda liked the fact that she was the closest thing to a parent and she would be that far away. He learned to take care of himself because his mom was a hero and his dad was never home. He knew how to cook food and clean up after himself so he felt like he would get by.
Rita wasn't very entertaining so he ended up walking down the road to look around. Seeing a city in Japan was a lot different than seeing one in the United States, especially seeing heroes doing their duties. It seemed peaceful here compared to America. He walked down to a shopping mall and looked at all they had to sell. Most of it was clothing stores with two bookstores. He recently got into manga and wanted to find a good read. Scanning through it all he settled on Kuroko no Basket. He always loved to sport of basketball, but he wasn't allowed to play it anymore because his parents wanted him to focus working on his quirk.
He headed back to the apartment after that and ate supper with Rita. They made small talk and she told him what U.A. was like. Some of the top heroes taught there so it was a good program.
Dex thanked her for the meal and headed for bed. His life would hopefully change for the better in the morning.
- The Next Morning -
"Welcome to U.A."
Dex nodded in response to Nezu, who was the principal of the school.
"I'll be showing you to your room so you can set it up", Nezu said. "You'll be in class 1-A for today. You'll need to take the entrance exam before we can see which class fits you the best."
"What kind of exam?", Dex asked.
"Physicality is the main focus, but you'll be tested mentally too." responded Nezu.
Dex nodded to smiled. He was getting pumped up.
"Midoriya , your needed outside in front of the school.", Eraserhead said.
Midoriya began to shake as if something bad was about to happen.
"Ha, Deku is finally getting kicked out.", Bakugo taunted.
This made Midoriya feel even worse about it.
"That's not likely, he is one of the top students." Ochaco stated.
Izuku took a deep breath to calm down and then smiled at her.
"Your right, they probably need help with something.", he said.
Izuku made his way outside to see Nezu talking to someone he didn't recognize. As he approached them Nezu looked up and smiled.
"Welcome Midoriya , I'd like to introduce you to a new transfer student. This is Dex." Nezu said.
The boy nodded at Midoriya and extended his hand. Izuku nodded back and shook his hand.
"I'd like you to show Dex around while I do his paperwork.", Nezu said.
Midoriya and Dex started to walk towards the building. "So what's your quirk Dex?", Midoriya asked.
Dex chuckled, "It's kinda hard to explain. It's not what I was supposed to have." Midoriya looked at him with confusion.
"What about you, what's your quirk?" Dex asked trying to change the subject.
Midoriya tensed up at the question. "You know what, it's also hard to explain.", he said with a nervous laugh.
The rest of the day, Midoriya (or Deku which he found out was his hero name) showed him around the school and introduced him to the 1-A class. They all were nice to him except for Bakugo which Midoriya said it was because he was really competitive and liked to talk down on others. That made Dex feel better. It was nice that they all except him, something that he didn't think would happen.
Dex went to his room after supper to have some alone time. Everyone was curious about him which he didn't expect at all, so it made him nervous. He began to send an email to his mom telling her about his first day. Thinking of everything that happened made him feel special. It had been a long time since he felt this way. Smiling as he finished up the email, he got up and walked out to the commons area. Todoroki was sitting there reading a book.
"Hey, Todoroki right?" Dex asked.
Todoroki looked up and nodded. He closed his book and sat up.
Dex studied his face, causing an awkward silence.
Trying to break it Dex asked, "Why is your hair white and red?"
Todoroki spoke, "Because it relates to my powers. Ice and fire."
Dex looked suprised, "You have two powers?"
Todoroki nodded looking annoyed. Shaking his head Todoroki spoke again, "What was your quirk? I don't think you ever told me."
Dex responded, "I can't really explain it."
"Can you show me what it is?" Todoroki asked.
Dex nodded and took a deep breath. "Zone", he said.
The grey dome appeared causing Todoroki to stand up with a frightened look.
"Switch"
Todoroki was suddenly where Dex was. He turned around to see Dex back near the couch that he was reading at.
"What the-" he began before Asui and Mina entered the room. Dex quickly relaxed his hand the dome vanished before the girls saw it.
"Hey Dex.", Mina spoke, then she turned to Todorok, "Hey Todorok."
Dex responded with a little wave. Todoroki nodded and looked back at Dex still in awe of Dex's quirk. Dex waved it off and started to talk with Asui and Mina. Todoroki understood and joined in to the conversation.
"10 minutes till curfew", Iida announced a while later. Todorokistood up and motioned for Dex to follow. Saying good night to Mina, Asui, and Jiro who came a bit later to find Mina, Dex followed Todoroki to his room.
"Before you go to your room, can you explain your quirk?", Todoroki asked.
Dex shook his head, "I can't explain it at all because I hardly know what it is, but when I take the entrance exam you'll see what it's fully capable of."
Todoroki nodded then raised his fist. Dex nodded back and bumped it, then waved goodnight and left to his room.
Dex laid down on his bed, his first day of school at U.A. was over. Tomorrow would be his training day before the exam.
"I think this was the better choice mom.", he said as he drifted off to sleep.
Alright, 1st chapter down.
Some notes: I based Dex's quirk off of Law's devil fruit from One Piece, I made Todoroki the guy that Dex trusts because of two reasons which are that Dex's past is sort of simalar to Todorokis', and that I feel most people would choose Deku for that role. I'm not saying Deku isn't going to be part of the story as much as Todoroki will be. I'm going to have mostly everyone in a group to fight along side Dex through things.
Things will get more clearer in later chapters
Which brings me to how often I'll write a new chapter. I'm looking around maybe once or twice a week.
So yeah, if you got this far leave a review and ideas.
