Izuka and Gran Torino in costume are on the train on the way to Hosu where the latest Stain incident has happened. She is looking out the window when she has a flash.

BLOOD.

DEAD BODIES.

HOSU.

NOMU.

STAIN.

NATIVE.

IIDA.

Izuka looks at the time. Ten minutes before all hell breaks loose.

Izuka snaps out of it when she feels shaking.

"Kid, are you okay? " Gran Torino asks, looking at her.

"We need to get to Hosu quickly. Stain and a raid is going to happen there, both resulting in death."

"Part of your quirk?" Izuka nods. "You have permission to wear your costume. Don't use your quirk though unless you are in my sight because I can tell you are someone who does what needs to be done." Izuka nods, heading to the back of the train into a room silently before changing quickly before coming back in her costume within a minute. "How much time do we have?"

"Nine minutes. We are going pass the attack area so the train might stop. Stain kills first, so I can go find him and fight him without a quirk."

"Hold up kid! Are you sure about that?" Gran Torino asks like she is going crazy.

"Yes, I was a vigilante too at one point. I know how we fight. The attack happens right at the center of Hosu." Izuka can see Gran Torino sending messages to the surrounding heroes.

"What is there?"

"Nomu, people who had quirks shoved into them. I do not know much on them, but I did fight one and the way I killed it was by burning it to death because they can regenerate. For you, I would say the skull. You might be able to put enough effort to at least knock them out. I have five minutes to go there to save another life."

"How do the death happens?"

"You have one who dies from rubble crashing on them and two from Stain. Native and a student."

"Understood. Don't screw around, Karma." Normally, Gran Torino would stop her at all cost, but he can see the conviction in Izuka's eyes. The same as All Might has.

Izuka was right about the train getting attacked by a Nomu. The train stops due to an inconvenience and a winged Nomu had attacked the train. Izuka makes sure no one is hurt. Thankfully, everyone is safe.

"Karma, go!" Izuka hears Gran Torino screams as he knocks the beast back and she nods, jumping out of the open train and flies through the alleyways, her eyes becoming golden when she is near the site. Then appears at the scene, not wasting a moment. Stain is approaching Iida and Iida is trying to go straight at him but Izuka knows better. Stain jumps to the side, using the wall to push off, ready to slash Iida's hand when she suddenly appears beside him, using her staff to stop both blades with a clang. Iida looks aside to see Izuka.

"Izuka, this is my battle, get out!" Izuka ignores the comment, taking the free moment to kick Stain in the groin region and throwing him back as far as possible. She takes note of Native is down but alive. Izuka looks at Iida with her golden eyes.

"Iida, grab Native and get out of here. If I was not here, you would be dead by now, sword through neck, so get!" Izuka growls at him.

"B-but Izuka!"

"Iida, I could give a fuck right now. If you want to save a life, get out with Native so I do not have to worry about you two. I will get out alive. Understood?" Izuka states, using her aura to scare Iida and forcing him to move, grabbing Native. Stain tries to take the moment to go at Iida again, but Izuka stops him once more with matching speed. Iida runs, leaving the two vigilantes behind. Stain steps back, chuckling.

"You have the heart of a true hero. However, I find it interesting you can use your aura like that. Normally, only villains can do that." Stain states," That is not a quirk, that is a stance in society. Unless you're that vigilante from a couple years back Green Eyes?" Izuka remains quiet. She is taking the moment to recover as much energy as possible, but she can feel the time ticking in her head. " So you are. I can tell by your eyes. I have seen the police files. Green eyes, yet here you have golden? Interesting. No matter, you're in the way!"

Stain dashes at her and Izuka skids to the side, trying to nail a kick in the back of the head but that misses. Stain attempts to slash at her leg, but Izuka stops it with the glider, spinning to the side, paying too much attention to the ticking in her head. With this continue on for a moment too long, Stain managers to create a large cut from her cheek down her jaw and neck. She sees Stain try to lick his sword, but she immediately reached forth for something, anything! She pulls at whatever it is and she sees what approaches her from the sword. Blood. Izuka can bend blood. She looks up at the sky, seeing it is a full moon. She has heard of blood-bending before by using the water in the body. She has done it once, but she always avoided the art after. Now, she can't.

"Interesting, I thought your quirk was all the elements. How does blood fit in? I wonder..." Izuka hears Stain sneer. Stain runs at her once more, but Izuka can't waste more time here, so she does her best option. Izuka raises her hand, stopping him mid-air. Shaking, Izuka closes her hand, making Stain knock out. It felt...vile...wrong...why? She feels that familiar pain slash through her body, having to bite her tongue to keep from screaming and throwing up as she falls to the ground.

No regret, Karma.

Izuka can't waste time here. Using her glider, she forces herself up almost like a cane before running forward, ignoring the pain in her body, she drags herself over to Stain. She wraps Stain with the scarves around her wrist and drags him to the edge of the alley for someone to see. She has one more person to save. Izuka runs forward, ignoring the pain and sickness in her body as she jumps and flies across town towards the central. She looks for a certain building before flying to it, not noticing she is level 3.

Blood.

Dust.

Mangled body.

30 seconds, Izuka.

Izuka lands, rolling on the ground as she grounds of pain. Sitting up in agony, she senses the building being rammed into presumably by a Nomu and sees the man running past her, not noticing her. She forces herself to stand when she hears the walls trying to crush them from above. Izuka grabs them, trembling as the pain gets worst, but she will not fall for this! The man notices, hearing a scream of thank you as he runs off. She grabs her glider and air-bends herself away from the mess crashing, her rolling. No time for this! Izuka forces her air-bending to fly her up a couple hundred feet, before throwing a huge blast of fire at the flying creature, killing it easily as it falls with Izuka. she softens her land with her air before landing next to the burning body of Nomu. Everyone is safe.

Why doesn't she feel safe?

When her eyes go back to normal green, the pain surrounds her and blinds her. She can't stay here and let anybody see this. Izuka crawls towards a nearby alleyway and curls up next to a garbage bin, another wave of pain passes through the body. She bites her tongue once more to keep from making noise and throwing up. She grips at her hair tightly, trembling, seeing anything but the physical world around her.

Izuka is done.

Yamada is in Hosu because he needed his directional speaker fixed as he keeps destroying it one way or another. He decided to get it out of the way today because his daughter is away on her internship and his husband and son are working on catching the son up, leaving Yamada with nothing to do seemingly besides fixing the speaker.

Wrong.

The night he comes to Hosu, it's being raided by the Nomu that damaged his daughter last time. As a pro-hero, he gets to work on evacuating everybody from the scene. With his loud voice, it makes the operation easy. As he is evacuating, he sees a couple of his students in the midst of everything. He sees Iida come out with an injured Native on his back. He doesn't know what happened. It looks like the hero was attacked. Iida looks good though. Yamada also sees Todoroki in the battle, using his fire to take a Nomu down. When he finishes the evacuation, he keeps watch for anybody who needs to be rescued.

Then Izuka came flying down.

Yamada doesn't know what happened, but her flying is sloppy. He hopes she will be fine. Then, she lands, even though it was basically crashing, near a building of a specific spot. A Nomu runs into a building that Izuka landed near and it causes large amounts of debris to fall down, but he sees Izuka catch it with her earth-bending quirk. He notices a man that could have been killed from the debris if it was not for Izuka. Yamada quickly runs toward the man to help him through the rubble and to an ambulance to be checked over. When he comes back, he notices the same Nomu burning on the ground and Izuka gone. At least the whole thing is over now. Yamada has to make sure everything is order, his voice once again gaining use. As he is checking the damage, he notices a SWAT truck with max security. Who was inside of it?

Stain.

Yamada takes note of the fact that he is wrapped up in the same material Aizawa uses in his weapon, meaning Izuka was involved here too. He will need to discuss that with her when she gets back. He continues demanding until a short, older pro-hero runs up to him.

"Hey, have you seen a green-haired kid with a glider around here?" The hero asks. Oh, this must be Izuka's adviser Gran Torino. Why did she not go back unless?

"Are you talking about Izuka?" Yamada asks with reluctance.

"Yeah, you know her?"

"I'm her guardian."

"I can tell you she is a good kid. I couldn't convince her not to fight Stain, but she got him tied up and knocked out somehow. She then said someone would die of debris in the area over there, " Gran Torino pointed towards the area Izuka was at, " The last time I saw her was when she seat the Nomu on fire. I thought she would be beside it, but no. She is gone."

"Izuka would come back if she could. However, if she knows she will get in the way, she knows when to back off." Yamada says glumly.

"Where would she go then?"

"We would have seen her fly off if she was stable enough to fly, but she has not. She could have left into an alleyway and flew there, but that doesn't seem right to me. I did notice her flying was unstable."

"Mind coming with me then? You know how she would act better than I do." Gran Torino asks.

"No problem, I'm done here anyway. Let's go this way." Yamada can not help but the sinking pit in his stomach. Is she okay? He goes back to the area he recently saw Izuka and notices an alleyway near by. He walks into the alleyway and finds what he is looking for easily.

But his heart shatters at the sight.

Izuka is against a trashcan, curled up and trembling of what Yamada assumes to be pain.

"Izuka?" Yamada says gently. No response.

Gran Torino looks over at him solemnly, " You need to take her home. Just tell Eraserhead that she did well and that she is way better than All Might. It's best for her to be around someone she knows, I will take over for you." He walks off, leaving Yamada with Izuka. He is personally glad the old man did because now he can focus all his attention on Izuka. He starts approaching her slowly, seeing if she is aware. No response. Yamada is in front of her now and bends down to look over her condition. That is when he notices the huge cut down her cheek to her neck and it takes all his energy not to go kill Stain right there. Furthermore, there are scratch marks on her scalp from her gripping so is odd is that she has not healed it yet. He notices the sack on her belt that is suppose to be filled with water. He removes it carefully to not rouse her and opens the cap before pouring a tiny bit on his hands. There is clean water, thank goodness.

Very carefully, Yamada removes the bloodied hands from her hair before pouring some on her hands. Izuka quickly realizes the substance before wrapping her around her scratches and marks to heal. However, within a minute, she suddenly stops, her eyes wide with horror as she drops the water, throwing it away from her and hitting Yamada is the process, but not in a harmful way. Her hands cover her mouth, looking like she is about to get sick. Yamada is trembling in fear at this point. He decides on a new strategy. He sits beside her, taking her neck gently and massaging it. Izuka leans forward, getting sick from all the fear and Yamada takes her hair gently to pull it back. She pants, trying to recover her breathe, slowly become aware of her surroundings. Then, he finally gets a response that makes his heart sing.

"D-dad?" Izuka coughs up, shakey but not looking at him yet.

"Yeah, Izuka, it's me." Yamada carefully responds. Suddenly, Izuka tackles him, hugging him tightly like a life line, even if she isn't crying yet. Yamada could care less about the blood right now, but he is worried about the cuts. " Izuka, I need you to heal, okay?" He feels Izuka become tense in his lap. "Sweetheat, I need you to talk to me to understand." Izuka shakes her head, suddenly trembling.

There is no weakness in a judge.

Izuka lets out a blood-curdling scream, trying to pull back to not hurt Yamada on accident, but he holds on tightly.

"Izuka, it's me! Deep breathes, follow me." Yamada pulls Izuka to his chest, making her focus on his breathing. Izuka follows, even if it's painful. She calms down, but it all hurts. " Izuka, we are going home. Gran Torino already told me you did way more than most kids should do. You need rest. No complaints." Yamada says in a stern voice. Too bad everyone knows him in his hero outfit. "Give me a moment to switch to my disguise and we will go, alright?" Izuka nods and pulls back. Yamada puts his hair down, takes off his Glasses, and switches his leather jacket for a fur coat, putting away his directional speaker as well in the bag. Izuka doesn't need to do much as she is not a recognizable hero, but she does grab the first-aid kit from her belt, doing quick patchwork to hide the wounds while biting her tongue before looking at her hair with dried blood. Thankfully, it is not recognizable unless you are close.

"You should have waited for me to do that. What happened at the USJ is happening here, isn't it?" Yamada asks.

"Yes." No point in hiding it from him.

"You know you will have to talk about it when you get home so we can understand? Especially when you are avoiding using your water-bending quirk to help yourself." For the first time, Izuka flinches. She tries to stand up but Yamada is having none of that, lifting her up like a child in his arms before carrying her down the alleyway. He didn't need people seeing him with a bloodied child to draw attention to her. Izuka, surprisingly, tries to make conversation. Maybe she noticed him worrying?

"You are lucky I am small or else this would look weird." Off-topic too? This is new.

"It probably still does. I don't look like a family man." They are going to distract each other if that is the case.

"Probably. They probably would think you are a hippy with your hair."

"I didn't realize you know those people exists."

"Just because I am antisocial does not mean I am ignorant to society."

"It makes me wonder. Oh, we are here." Yamada and Izuka arrive at a parking garage with the family car. Thank God he decided to drive today. He opens the door, setting Izuka down in the backseat and buckling her up. He then gets in the driver's seat. "Just rest, Izuka. You need it." He starts driving back home, which is a hour ways. He keeps a close eye on Izuka till she passes out within a few minutes. Yamada can't help but sigh in relief. With the free moment, he pulls out his phone to call his husband only to find his husband already calling him. Smiling for a moment before the depressing mood comes back, he answers the phone. Without having to respond, Aizawa is already questioning him.

"Are you okay, did you see Izuka, and when are you coming home?" That means the Hosu incident is already up. Hopefully Izuka doesn't gain too much attention.

"I'm alright and I am heading home right now. As for Izuka...I have her with me Shouta. I'm bringing her home with me."

"I'm assuming with permission?"

"Yeah, he specifically asked me to take her home because she is going through too much...her quirk is trying to kill her again Shouta and it hurts to see her like that! She doesn't deserve it..." Yamada knows he will not wake her up. She is too tired. But he is frustrated. Why can't he protect her from her own quirk?

"Calm down and tell me what happened." Aizawa tries to be reasonable in the situation.

"Well, I was guiding the operation when her instructor Gran Torino walked up, asking if I have seen her. I did see her eariler, but I don't know what happened after she took down a Nomu. It's safe to presume that she would have returned by now if she was safe. I decide to look in the nearby alleyway and found her...not there. She didn't even notice me until minutes later. Gran Torino told me to tell you that she did better than most kids and she is better than All Might." This earns a chuckle from Aizawa, making some light out of the situation for a moment before Yamada overshadows it, " She did sustain injuries. There is a kinda deep cut from her cheek to her neck, so I gave her water to try and heal it. She started to but...something happened Shouta because she threw the water like it was something bad. I had to grab the back of her neck and she still didn't notice me until after she got sick and tackled me down. After that, I tried to convince Izuka to heal herself, but she will not use her water-quirk. Shouta, I'm so scared for her. She patched it up, but even she noticed and made light conversation with me on the way to the car." Yamada has to take a moment because he is crying now.

"Hizashi, pull over for a moment and calm down." Yamada does what his husband asks," Alright, I need you to answer this. Is she still using her other quirks or is she completely avoiding her quirk?"

"I saw her use the other quirks when I was helping it, so I think it's just water."

"Izuka is neglecting her water quirk, right?"

"Yeah..." Once Yamada is calm, he gets back on the road with Aizawa in his ear.

"Damn...the only thing that I can think of is she discovered a new ability that seriously affected her this bad. She has nothing against Karma for what we know yet, it's just water. Izuka never uses her water-bending quirk for combat unless there is a ton of water nearby, and even then, she would just fight quirkless with some air mixed in. Hosu has not gotten rain lately so it has to be a source that would not be considered normally." Aizawa tries to examine the situation. Everything is true so far. "Do you have any idea what she was doing before she fought the Nomu?" Yamada takes a moment before he takes what Gran Torino said in mind.

"She fought Stain." Yamada can swear he hears choking in the background with a harsh slam.

"Thanks Hitoshi. That means it happened during her fight with Stain. What is weird is that it states that no quirks were used during the fight." Then a new voice shows up.

Hitoshi says, "What if she used her quirk on him?"

Aizawa asks, " What do you mean?"

"What if she was able to water-bend him somehow?" That is a plausible theory.

"I'm calling Inko and asking her. Be home as quick as possible, love you."

"Love you two too." Yamada says as he ends the call.
