"Ugh…"
.
.
.
.
He groaned, slowly opening his eyes.

"Am I finally dead?" he mumbled.
"Thanks God you're alive!" Someone suddenly leaned over him.
"!"
Startled, he sat up, but ended up headbutting the person in the process.
"Owwwwww! WAAAAAHHHHHH!" They wailed loudly and held their forehead, while he was rubbing his own sore one.
Getting back to his senses, he looked at the person.
What he saw was a boy around his age but smaller than him. He had a pale...no...white skin. He had a very adorable face, with four symmetrical freckles on each cheek and a pair of big vibrant green eyes. His hair were also very fluffy but his were a pure white with a medium green highlight. But what stood out the most was the pair of wings attached to the boys back. They were a soft pale green with darker green feathers at the extremities. He was glowing softly in the now night.
"..."
He rubbed his eyes.
Due to his insomnia related to his "cursed" ability, he wouldn't really be surprised to have hallucinations from time to time.
He blinked.
The boy was still here.
*Probably a mutant Quirk...* He thought, rubbing the back of his head.
"huh?"
He felt something wet.
He brought back his hand and saw blood, mixed up with his indigo hair.
"W-what?"
Oh right! He fell from the roof-
Wait…
"I'm alive?" he breathed
He looked around.
He saw the dent in the ground with a puddle of blood.
He also noticed the few feathers scattered around, like if the bird had flapped its wings with a furious vigor. After a better look, he noted that they were the same hue as the boy, who was actually still wailing.
*How long will he cry?* He thought, a bit annoyed. *It'll attract attention*
Thinking about it, no one had noticed his fall? No one around the school?
Okay, it was pretty late right now, but still. His school wasn't in a secluded area.
He groaned and moved over the sobbing boy.
*I don't think I've seen him before… In that case there's probably a high chance that he doesn't know me either…*
"O-oi…"
"WAAAAAH! I'M SORRY! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!"
"I'm not going to hurt you but please stop crying!" He said, getting frustrated.
He didn't want to use it on him, but if he didn't calm down very soon…
"I'M SORRY!"
"Can you please stop?" He groaned. This wasn't helping his growing headache.
"SORRY!"
*Screw it…*
Click
"Calm down this instant."
The boy's face turned blank as his cries died down.
*Thank Goodness, finally some silence…* He exhaled. *But now he's going to hate me like everyone else…*
Click
As soon as the boy was free from his grasp, he blinked.
"H-huh? What just happened? I felt like someone else controlled my body!"
He started to fuss again.
"That's my Quirk." He muttered. "You refused to calm down so I had to make you myself…"
"Your Quirk? You mean you have a mind controlling Quirk type?" The boy asked.
He was a bit taken aback by the lack of hatred in the boy's tone.
"It's called Brainwashing…" He looked away.
He expected the boy to freak out and -
"That's really cool!" The boy said cheerfully
He nearly choked with his own spit.
"What?"
"I think that's a cool Quirk!"
Click
"Flick your face."
The boy did so.
Click
"Owwww!… Wait, did you do it again? All I can remember was answering you then vaguely hearing you giving me order, then my body moved on its own… Could it be a response based Quirk? …"
He watched in disbelief as the boy was in a muttering daze.
*Seriously?* He sweat-dropped. *What's wrong with him…*
"Hey!"
He looked up and saw a policeman coming up to him.
"What are you doing here all alone? It's not safe to be here all by yourself at night."
"Alone?" He frowned
He looked where the boy was supposed to be, but he only saw an empty spot with the fading noise of feathers rustling.
"Oh my God, you're bleeding. Are you okay young man?"
This pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Huh?"
"I'm taking you to the office. So we can treat your injuries, you tell us what happened and we'll call your parents, okay?"
"I'm an orphan..." He muttered.
While the policeman apologized, he really kept himself from using his Quirk and getting rid of the adult. His mind was more on what was he going to say to the caretakers in the orphanage.
"Very thank you Sir, but I think I can handle it alone." He said.
"But you're injured!"
"A group of teenager from school ganged up on me, all I can remember was getting hit on the head…" He picked up his bag.
Wait...since when it was here?
He spotted a note with "You're welcome" and a feather drawn on it.
He groaned and shook his head.
"I guess I should get going now?"
"But -"
Click
"Continue your patrol."
The policeman nodded and started to walk away.
He sighed.
"If you want to meddle with people's business, have at least the decency to not leave them into a messy situation." He said, not looking at the boy who was standing behind him.
"Sorry, I panicked." The boy said sheepishly. "Though, the policeman is right… your injuries…"
"I'll be fine." He sighed. "If I survived from a fall I'm sure -"
He felt the same embrace as before.
The rational part of his mind was racing, trying to process what's going on. But the rest of his mind made him relax, like if all the weight of the world had been removed. The pain from his injuries was slowly fading away. Like when you remove a thorn. His eyes fluttered, struggling to stay open.
"What…are you…"
"Shhh." the boy hummed softly. "Tell me where you live, I'll take care of everything."
He wanted to protest, but somehow he couldn't say no and ended up indicating the place.
*Is it how people feel when I control them?*
"At least… tell me your… name…" He mumbled, sleep winning him over.
"Izuku Midoriya." The boy smiled.
Why did it sound beautiful into his ears?
"And you're Hitoshi Shinso."
"H-how -"
"I just know so. Now sleep."
He groaned, finally giving in.
The last thing he remembered was the warm embrace, the feathers rustling, and the most beautiful humming voice he ever heard.

Hi PW here.
Wow, 1k words? I must have been inspired way more than intended XD
Anyway, I got myself into a real mess by not wanting to introduce immediatly the characters in the story.
I wanted to be more like when you watch a movie where you only see the characters and get to know their name when someone says it or if you see it written somewhere instead of already knowing everthing.
But considering the characters tags, I guess it was busted right in the beginning. Haha (==;)
About the Click thingy, I see Shinso's Quirk working like a switch he either decide to activate or not when he takes someone over. I think I might probably use it as marker whenever he use it or not.
Hai, I should stop bothering you with my ranting.
How is it so far?
Love comments and constructive reviews are appreciated (*^^*)
PW out ~
