Grasp on reality Chapter 1: Déjà vu, a my hero academia/僕のヒーローアカデミア fanfic

Chapter 1 – Déjà vu

Do you ever get the feeling that you're in a situation you've witnessed before? Not in an external way like associating a current moment with one you've witnessed in a video game or a movie, more like YOU'VE lived that moment before, word for word and action by action, every movement and subtle twitch in the moment being vaguely familiar. Have you ever felt this phenomenon?

Izuku jumps up from his bed, quicker than intended resulting in him falling off the bed with his pillow following after him, "Izuku, IZUKU! Everything ok dear?" his mother called, a worried tone evident in her voice. "I'm fine mum, just kind of flopped out of bed but on the bright side I'm awake." He gave an unsure smile to his mother who had just rushed through his bedroom floor, hoping that she wouldn't worry too much as that's the last thing he would want her to do. "Alright Izuku," she replied still visibly worried for her son "Now that you're awake though you should probably get ready for school, thankfully you're up right on time." Izuku nodded and got to his feet while noting that his wrist was slightly sore and that it was probably just because he landed on it in an awkward way but deciding that it wasn't a major enough pain for him to complain.

As he had his breakfast Izuku attempted to remember the dream that had caused him to wake up so suddenly… Nothing, just a blur in his mind that he wasn't going to be able to decipher anytime soon, oh well maybe he'll be able to think about it more later at school. Speaking of school, even if he had a head start this morning at this rate it may as well have been for nothing as he left at almost the same time as usual. He usually walks to his middle school and today was no different, well, it wasn't different in the sense of walking to school but something felt off about today, Izuku had a vague feeling about something but he didn't really know what it was… "Strange," he thought to himself as he walked onwards looking at the other people walking around him along the usual route he's used to make his way to school. He froze. Blinking quickly as he stared into the crowd, 'What the hell?' he started focusing on each individual as little blue… things radiated from them, Izuku didn't know what was happening so he closed his eyes and rubbed them hoping that after doing so his question would be answered and when he looked back, nothing, "Ugh honestly I'm probably still half asleep it couldn't have been anythi-WAIT" He jumped up quickly again and reached for his hero notebook instinctively, stopping himself just as he put his bag down to reach inside, "EH? Why the heck did I stop, hmm… I feel like something should've hap-" he didn't even finish his thought when it was interrupted by the sudden sounds of screaming and crashes could be heard and in the very direction that he had been looking to, a massive man with a slightly weirdly shaped head and brown dreadlocks became at least the size of a house on top of the train tracks, "A villain, eh? It's too early for this but still…" Izuku finished reaching into his bag while brushing the weird feeling he had felt just before the villain attack began and ran into the crowd that had gathered to watch the ensuing battle, listening into other people's conversations to piece together what had occurred before his arrival. "Turning into a monster? What a crazy quirk! What did he do?"
"Tried to steal a purse and started rampaging when he got cornered" Izuku observed as the No. 7 pro hero: Kamui Woods started to apprehend the villain, he started saying something but from the distance between the top of the rails and where he was standing, Izuku couldn't really hear it. What he did pick up on was that Kamui was preparing to unleash an Ultimate Move "Here it comes, his "pre-emptive bindi…" and for the third time today (although this was the first time he hadn't done so himself) Izuku was interrupted by a shout that COULD be heard from where the crowd was, "CANYON CANNON!" As another gigantification user appeared, "Today's my debut! Pleased to meet you all! You can call me Mt. Lady!"
"A HERO DEBUT?!" Izuku shouted, quickly opening his notebook and roughly sketching the newly introduced hero as quickly as possible for him, "Gigantification, huh? It'sACommonAndQuitePowerfulQuirk,ButCouldTheThreatOfPublicPropertyDestructionLimitIt'sUse?" He mumbled, he muttered quickly, causing a mixture of confusion, fear and awe to a few people around him as he moved on to writing observations about the hero and continuing his already delayed walk to school.

School had been eventful… but just like usual it'd been for all the wrong reasons, from being called out by his teacher for wanting to go to UA which led to him being laughed at by his class and absolutely tormented by his childhood friend turned bully Katsuki Bakugou all the way to the aforementioned bully throwing away Izuku's hero analysis book for the future No. 13 out of the window after turning it into a mini bonfire thanks to his quirk: Explosions. Honestly though, now that he was alone walking back home Izuku couldn't be truly angry at Kacchan (The childhood nickname he had made for Katsuki when they were still friends) sure he had destroyed on of Izuku's pride and joys but except for the pages on the newly debuted Mt. Lady, Izuku had committed most entries to his memory and sure he'd continually called him Deku (A nickname given to Izuku by Kacchan meaning 'Useless' due to Izuku's lack of a quirk) while telling him to 'Pray for a quirk in the next life while talking a swan dive out of the window" but at least he hadn't been physically assaulted today. Who knows, maybe he might make it back home without any major injuries today. Unfortunately for him this hope was shattered almost instantly, as Izuku felt something grab him and force itself down his throat, something slimy and thick, absolutely disgusting. "Don't worry, I'm just hijacking your body." Izuku heard someone, something, say in a voice that was already akin to coherent squelching but was uncomfortably muffled as his ears were overtaken and filled with the slime, "It'll only hurt for a few more seconds, then it'll all be over kid." Izuku tried to scream but ended up making the situation worse for himself and as he slipped into unconsciousness, his vision became blurred by the return of the strange blue specks he'd seen earlier, overwhelming him, and he heard a faint "I am here" but by that point it was too late for Izuku…

Hi all of you that stumble upon this fic, it's my first one in general so hopefully this chapter was at least decent. I don't really have a plan for it to be completely honest with y'all and so the updates may be kind of spaced apart until I decide to either continue the story or at the very least make a plan for it. Will update any tags and stuff as necessary.

Thanks again y'all.
