Enjoy the chapter!
"Use…. Too Much. Would possibly.." She heard something. "How.. She?"
She couldn't move, not even to open her eyes. "Recover… Might have burn.. Organs."
A sob, she heard that well enough, but damn it all her eyes, they wouldn't open! "Heart rate is.." Another voice entered the group. "Will My…. be okay?"
She managed a groan, the voices quieted for a moment, before resuming. "Most likely, your… on the… will most likely be permanent."
A wail, her mother's if she knew her mother well enough, and she believed she did. Her hearing was returning to her now, she could almost make out what they were saying completely.
"Inura will never forgive herself." That was definitely her mother, " No one's fault but the villains. And mayhaps my own for getting distracted like I had." That voice seemed familiar.. But she couldn't place it.
"Do not blame yourself sir, if I hadn't grabbed onto you… Well lets just assume he would have been in custody. He may have done this, but It was my presence that started it." That was Zuu, but what was he saying? It didn't make any sense.
"No Izuku, you can't say that, I don't blame Mr. All Might, but you can't blame yourself!" All Might was here? That was good she wanted to give him a piece of her mind.
"Mom, It won't change anything, no matter whose fault it was, I am still here, and well I guess I'm even more useless now. At least being quirkless I had a chance, but this? This is some sort of cosmic joke." Her mother's voice cut through her own sob. "But Izuku, honey. No one would have guessed this would be what caused it to surface, It would be near impossible without.."
"Without me being blind." Of all the things said, the bitter spit of a sentence that her brother uttered caused her eyes to fly open.
"Your.." All three heads shot towards Inura, a gangly yellow-haired man, who looked on the verge of death, Her mother Inko, and Midoriya. She managed to turn her head towards them, even though it aches to do so. Tears started welling up as she saw Izuku's eyes, on her, but not on her. They were pale green like what you would see underwater, but no shifting with the waves, no this was a sickly green you would see on that of dead seaweed, unmoving and unneeded at the bottom of the ocean floor, the color of sickness. They were still as pretty as ever, which made her really start crying.
"Yes." The sad slightly bitter tone made her focus even more on his eyes, moving slightly as if they too were searching for something other than blackness. "I am blind Inura."
A fifteen year olds words should not be that devoid of hope.
"Where is All Might?" her voice was cold, and she wanted it that way, as the man and her mother flinched, Midoriya only sighing. "Why?" He asked quietly, and she hissed. "If he had been more focused and had brought that villain in, this might not have happened! You wouldn't be-"
"Be quiet Inura." she went silent at his tone, a sad and bitter one that he had never used, much less used against her. Izuku regarded her as best he could with his pale eyes. She almost teared up again. "He lost the villain when I grabbed him, I jostled them off of him by accident, it was no fault of his."
"So your saying it's your fault?" She asked, gaping at him as he shrugged. "I don't know, I'm not placing blame. It won't change what's happened." He said, sighing in resignation. His eyebrows shot up as he turned to loo- turned to speak to the yellow-haired man, whose face was more distraught than any of those in the room, barring Inko who was bawling.
"Sir, you said you needed to speak with us?" He said, and the man opened his mouth, before nodding hurriedly. "Yes, but I unfortunately must ask miss Midoriya, to leave your children in my care for a moment. What is to be discussed is unfortunately only for their ears." his voice made Inura cringe, it seemed so familiar, but was sickly, in a way she had only heard those practically dead in movies sounded.
Inko looked at him like he was crazy, opening her mouth to object before Izuku grasped her sleeve, nodding to her as she turned to him. "Please mom, He won't do anything. I can see it." That was… An odd choice of words, for the situation.
Inko sniffed before nodding. She walked to the door, whispering something into the man's ear that made him pale considerably, before leaving through the door. Inura swore she heard her mother start crying some more.
"Well Midoriya my boy, I would have wished to have this conversation under better.. Circumstances. But I think now would be best." He turned to Inura as Izuku tilted his head, turning his head slightly, from Inura to the strange man.
"Who are you?" The words came out sharper than she meant, and she almost could feel the flinch the man made at her tone before clearing his throat. "Well It would be easier to just show you." He coughed out, a slight dribble of blood spilling from his mouth.
He stood up, and in an almost comical fashion expanded like a goddamned balloon, muscles forming where there were only anorexic bones previous, his gaunt features filling out into no less sharp, but far more handsome visage she had no trouble recognizing, as in an instant where the gaunt man had stood, now stood All Might, in all his glory.
That visage was ruined less than a second later as he coughed violently and shrunk, blood now covering his mouth as he stumbled. Izuku was up in a flash, helping the symbol of peace as he rapidly shrunk back into the gaunt form, steam curling off of him.
If she didn't feel as if her entire muscle structure would snap if she moved she would have probably backed up into the wall hard enough to leave a dent in the small hospital like room's walls.
"Please All Might, do not put too much stress on yourself." Izuku urged, his tone changing to a much more worried one than before. That irritated Inura greatly. "What the shit is this?!" She barked out and Izuku snorted. "That's All Might Inura." He said with a chuckle, his pale eyes moving over her without seeing her.
"Like hell it is!" She exclaimed, her voice and attitude not matched by her still prone body, A fact that greatly irritated her. Alot of things were irritating her.
Is this how Bakugou feels all the time? The very thought gave her a shiver. She sighed through her nose, trying to make sense of what was happening. "Okay. Okay! Just walk me through this please, so I can understand what the hell is going on here." She finally got out and The gaunt man that was apparently All Might sighed in relief. "Well it's just like I told young Midoriya…"
"Well shit." Izuku snorted at Inura's blunt exclamation, the latter finally being able to sit up against the wall. She glanced at Izuku and remembered his downcast expression from before the sludge villain attack. Her eyes gained a sharp glint as she turned them to the All Might, her glare apparently able to cut as he suddenly starting coughing when she looked.
"You told him he couldn't be a hero, what kind of crap is that?" She growled out and he paled, before chuckling. "Well, I thought as much, I've seen many quirkless individuals attempt to do this job." His face became downcast as he turned his head up to her, his eyes meeting hers.
"Most ended up.. Not making it." He muttered, his voice going somber. She found it suddenly difficult to really be mad at him, not with Izuku struck blind after he attempted to save Bakugou. "I told him that to keep him safe." All Might muttered, throwing the now sheepish looking Izuku a look of exasperation. "Fat lot of good it did." He said rising and placing a hand on both of their shoulders.
"Now, that the option of keeping him safe, is no longer viable, I think giving him a shot in the ring is the next best one." Both the Midoriya's looking at him in confusion.
"Let me tell you about my quirk, and you'll figure it out." He said with a small smile.
