"You're taking this remarkably well."
"Thanks! But I still have no idea what exactly this is." Nana's eyes watered as the short little woman, that was so grandma like she wanted cookies, held open one of her eyes and shone a light into itl. "Or why you're giving me a physical."
Chiyo turned the light off a sickly sweet smile on her face. "Considering how you should be dead, consider this physical a light precaution into making sure you're stable. I'd hate to lose you again."
"I think I remember you being a lot meaner, or maybe it was nicer? And taller. Like…. A lot taller. Why are you so short?"
"If you think I'm short wait until you see that fool Sora. He's always been a grumpy old man though so I guess that won't change." Chiyo spun her chair towards an expensive looking computer, "Still I'm surprised you're not having a mental break down at the moment, physically you're about seventeen, mentally you're pretty much the same brat I remember. I guess that must be a side effect of your quirk."
"Empathy, right?" Nana hummed kicking her feet from under the hospital covers. "I can feel the emotions of others and even control them a bit, same with my own emotions. Though it's not very powerful, kind of just like a warm blanket or having fresh laundry dumped on you while on a cold day. Their mood returns back to normal once I stop using it. Hey wait, how did I know that?"
"Most people have an inherent understanding of how to use their quirk on a basic level. But aside from what I can tell, your memory is jumbled right now. Things will feel familiar for a while, and you might remember some things clearer later." Chiyo sighed, leaning back into her chair, fingers tapping her cane.
"Do you think I'll get them back?" It was really frustrating to know about things but not actually know about them. Like she knew what U.A. was and that she went there, and the name Sora was really familiar, even after Izuku explained what he could, a lot of the things just felt like two different things that had the same name.
Chiyo shrugged. She looked like she needed a hug, a kiss on the head, a nice warm blanket, a cup of tea, and then a nice long nap.
"I'm not much of a psychologist, nor does my quirk work on the mind. But I imagine as you continue to live your second life your new memories will overpower the old ones."
"Hmm, I guess I'm okay with that. Still, this whole second life thing is pretty neat, has this ever happened before?" She asked, still tapping her feet, the room was less enjoyable now that Izuku had left it. She turned her eyes towards the T.V. mounted in the corner, the broadcast showing the constantly moving arena that had been made for the sport's festival, the cameras flashing as they tracked one of the students fly around with his hands exploding.
"There have been a few quirks. A hero from Paris called Phoenix gets reborn when he dies, but his personality rarely remains intact, there have been others as well, but they are few and far between, but your case is still unique. Probably. There are as many quirks out there as there are people out there." Chiyo shrugged, and turned back to the computer as something appeared on the screen. "Ahh, good news, you're A Positive."
"My blood type?" That was just news, not really good or bad. Just news, if barely that. It was like saying that books are made of recycled paper. "Why's that good?"
"Well it's consistent with your old blood type, I was curious if how much you'd share with Izuku, but it appears that you're one hundred percent you. I'll have to run a few more tests, to be sure though."Chiyo smiled at her.
"I'm happy to say that you're also completely healthy, the X-ray revealed healthy bones, the other scans showed nothing unusual, and I'm not seeing the type of decay that most clone type quirks have."
That sounded good. At least she wasn't going to turn into a pile of goo if she took a shower. "Well, since I'm healthy, do you think I can go watch Izuku's match? Like in person, cause it's like that way, just out the door. His match is up next."
If she focused she could feel the excitement of the crowd. Singling them out was difficult especially at this range, always had been. Wait. One light stood out. A full moon among a sea of stars. His emotions were all over the place, swirling around a central mass of determination.
"No offense Nana, but I'd rather not have you wander around on your own. For your own good mostly, that and I know how you can be." Chiyo snorted turning towards the door.
"What? You make it sound like I get into trouble." She beamed at the older, or was she younger? Err. Let's just go with the age of her body. Wait wasn't that like… an hour at most? But she had boobs.
"You are trouble." Chiyo sneered. "The number of times you stuck your nose into things just because you had a feeling is-"
The door slammed open and a really short guy in a yellow suit bounced in, his eyes were wide and he looked out of breath. Or he was having a heart attack and considering how he looked like a grandpa that was very likely. "Holy shit."
His emotions were easy to read on his face. Surprise, happiness, shock, wonderment. And a healthy does of 'oh god I just ran across town so fast the laws of physics are going to take me to court.' Still, he felt familiar. Wait, she knew this guy!
"Holy crap Sora you got old! And short!"
A half second later and she could tell he was annoyed. Largely because his cane had been bounced off of her head.
"And you're still the same pain in the ass you always were!" Sora blubbered sinking down into the chair next to her bed. Tears were already staining his eyes. "How are you here again? And why are you a teenager?"
"I don't know, one moment I wasn't there, and then I just kind of was." She pointed to Chiyo. "According to her, it's because of quirk fuckery."
Chiyo, in her vast maturity, rolled her eyes. "Overall she's healthy, and still Nana, but there's a lot that she doesn't remember, I'm surprised she recognized you."
"I just know his name and that he's a pain in the ass."
Sora's eyes furrowed as he glared at her.
"Yea," Chiyo nodded. "That's about right."
Something happened in that bright globe of emotion she had been feeling earlier. It was still and its calmness was deafening. She was being drawn to it by something that was a part of her but wasn't. Then she felt the bed beneath her vanish and she was standing in the stadium as a red-haired sharp looking boy charged through a wall and towards Izuku.
Wait. Hold up a minute. Did she just teleport? Or was she summoned? Either way. Awesome!
XXXX
"What the hell Eraser? Why is it every time that Izuku kid fights, that girl just appears on the stage!" shouted into the microphone as Izuku punched Eijiro back through the wall he charged in from, and through another, and another, and he was out of bounds. Neat. he won.
Wait girl? He saw Nana standing there, her long black hair was still loose when he first saw her and she was now wearing the spare P.E. Uniform. She was looking as confused as he felt, and cute. Wait no, he shouldn't be thinking about that. Holy cow it was worse than that time he met an adult Eri.
"Why is your kid even cheating? It's not like he even needed her help!" continued. "At least this time she has clothes on which is a shame because she has a nice-"
The mic spiked.
"You're supposed to comment on the match, not complain." Aizawa's voice could be heard over the mic as well as a muffled sound. "Izuku, the first time was odd, the second time is weird, even for you. Explain."
"Uhh," How was he supposed to explain Nana suddenly appearing, not once but twice, and this time there was no way to say oh something weird happened with the other persons quirk, nope. This time it was all on One for All. Come on Izuku think! You managed to play off your other quirks just fine. There had to be something. There had to.
"I don't know!" He shouted running two hands through his hair. The fake mania thing worked last time One for All shat out a quirk. Nana was… technically a quirk.
"I don't know okay! I have no idea what my quirks doing, sometimes I use it and my arms explode, then all of a sudden I can make these black noodle things! Then for no reason, I can snap my fingers to make it so I can't make a sound until I snap my fingers again, and now a woman appears whenever I use my quirk!"
Oh, right. The mania thing was real. "I really don't know what's happening with my quirk and it's stressing me out!"
"Oh! I'm part of his quirk!" Nana said loudly, her thumb pointed right at her as she struck a classical heroic pose. "Ya know, whenever he uses his punch more quirk I appear! At least I think that's what happened. Makes sense right?" She held out a hand to him, with the other on her chest, fluttering eyelashes. "It's because we share a bond greater than space and time that our love flourishes and he brings me to his side!"
The mic spiked again causing the audience to groan.
"D'awww," said over the speakers. "That's so cute. I want a quirk that brings me a hot girlfriend. Instead, I just got one that makes Eraser annoyed at me."
Oh, so this is what it felt like to die of embarrassment. He ran over to Nana, grabbing her by the arm and dragged her out of the stadium. Sure he hadn't been declared the winner yet, but Eijiro was at least six feet into the wall, and that wall was out of bounds.
He pushed Nana against the wall, his heart beating as he stared at her. The sultry smile on her face was not helping with anything.
"Oh my," she teased, fluttering her eyes at him, one hand over her heart while the other was against the wall. "How forward of you Izuku."
"I... You... Me." He turned somehow blushing even more and answering the unasked question that yes, One for All could make blushes more powerful. With a breath, he turned to look at her again. "What was that? You're making things worse out there."
"Correction, I'm making things better!" Nana laughed, walking over to push him on the shoulder, before flicking her hair back.
Dammit, she had a really pretty smile that was making his heart do the whole, 'omg a girl is talking to me thing'. He really thought he got over that. Her smile only grew.
"Besides, I have no idea why I teleported like that. I didn't even know I could teleport like that. I think it has something to do with that One for All thing you talked about."
It wouldn't surprise him in the least.
Wait, if One for All summoned her then she might still have some connection, he didn't think about that. How strong was that connection was she still bound to it because she used to hold the quirk? Was her quirk still in there? Was she a copy of the soul or will that exist in One for All? Did he lose power? He didn't go all out so there was no way of telling, but it was-.
"You're cute when you mumble you know." She stated with a sly grin on her face.
