He was back, in the astral place were he first got his quirk, but this time, next to the Orange sun, was another, it looked like it was stone, but it had cracks that let red light seep through, it was clearly connected to the ring, but before he could do anything else, he heard familiar crackles of an explosion about to starting, instantly he threw his body to his right as a explosion went off were his head once was.

Turning, he looked to see off red colored smoke slowly wafting through the air, and as the air cleared, their was Bakugou, someone he had personally seen die, but as he looked into his angry red eyes, they seemed to almost glow, but before he could do anything,"Fight me Deku! Prove to me you deserve this power!" with those final words Bakugou launched himself at him.

The flames of his explosion's were now pure red, and just barely dodging by a hair didn't mean that he wasn't hit, the power behind his explosion were far stronger than before, sending Izuku skidding back even though he wasn't directly hit, getting over his shock, he tried to start his flames, but they didn't come when they were suppose to, with a creaking sound, he turned his head towards the source of his power, only to find the orange sun from before was clashing with the stone, red crack filled sun, they were pushing against one another, and what worried him most was that the red cracked stone sun was winning.

The echoing sound of steps filled the air, turning, he saw Bakugou, his face pulled into a frown, slowly making his way to him, and in the next moment he moved faster than he had ever before, using his explosions to power his run, just like how he used his flames himself, and grabbed his face, the last thing he heard was,"Tsk, you aren't ready yet." before the sound of an explosion rang in his ears.


With a jerk he tried to get up, except he found himself trapped, but before he could start panicking he took in the room, a single streak of light revealing dust lazily floating through the air, the beam of light somewhat highlighting the smile on one his few All Might posters they had let him keep, than realization dawned on him, with a slow exhale of air he released the tension in his muscles having realized he was in his room, peering down, he caught the sight of his girlfriends, all on his chest instead of in their normal places, trying to be quiet, he carefully maneuvered himself out from beneath them, and sat them carefully on the bed.

Stretching to work out the weariness in his muscles, he did a few warmups, than ,with a shake of his head he started towards the door, and quietly opened it, before just as quietly slipping out, and carefully closing it, turning, he took a deep breath before he moved down the hallway.

Looking between the stairs and the elevator he decided that he needed to clear his head some so he started the trek down the stairs, letting his mind wander over the dream.

Once he got down to the Commons area he casually walked to the fridge in the connected kitchen, before finding two of the items he had left in it, ignoring the odd reflective thermos in it, he quickly got the two items he needed out and sat them on the counter next to the fridge, with a quick search he found a cabinet filled with cups, and got a tall clear glass one, and sat it down, reached over and poured the first ingredient in it, before reaching over and grabbing the second and pouring some of it in the glass, before quickly finding a drawer full of spoons before using it to mix the to ingredients together, find a bowl real quick he filled it with water before putting the spoon in it and sitting both in the sink, spoon still in the bowl, before grabbing his glass, but he than heard voice behind him.

"Is that Chocolate Milk?" a Girl Giggled behind him, quickly turning he found one of his classmates, Himiko toga if he remembered correctly, she was in a large cardigan that hanged below her knees, most likely her version of PJ's, he also noticed that her hair was down, a flash of Bakugou with his spiky hair grew out all the way past his shoulders appeared in his mind, a punishment from Auntie Mitsuki refusing to let him get it cut till he fixed his attitude in the house he quickly snapped out of it, looking to see that she was still expecting an answer but had the thermos from earlier in the Microwave.

"Oh yea um it's a little silly, but no matter how hard I try I'm not much of a morning person, so I have to have some type of stimulant, but coffee tastes horrible to me, but then my mom introduced me to this and I've been hooked ever since." he gave her a small, awkward smile, her only giggling before reaching to get the thermos, still looking at his glass of Chocolate Milk, but as she reached it her hand flinched back from the heat.

"Ah! Are you ok?" Izuku worriedly grabbed her thermos, sitting it on the counter, than closing the microwave, before grabbing her hand, looking closely he saw that the tips of her left hand were slightly red, hearing a giggle, he looked up, seeing Himiko giggling at his actions, and he quickly release her hand, realizing what he did,"Oh sorry, I should have asked first." Izuku spoke worriedly.

"Oh no it's fine, but if you're this worried over what couldn't even be a 1st degree burn, I'm pretty sure your hero name will end up being 'the flame hero:Dadzuku ' hehehehe." she quickly collapsed into laughter, he let out a few chuckles himself, finding the name pretty funny, before he soon collected himself.

"Well if you don't mind...may I?" with a gesture he went to grab her hand again, and her, obviously curious, let him grab her hand that she had burned earlier.


Himiko had mixed feelings about the boy in front of her, well him and Shoto Todoroki, the son of Endeavor, she would have to see if he was a fake hero or not, she hadn't had enough time to really see, but the boy, he had a fire quirk, just like Endeavor, he also had three separate girlfriends, though they all seemed to smell of love so they probably loved one another so it was probably a Poly relationship, but he seemed so worried over her only getting a slight burn, he also seemed modest, and while he didn't seem very prideful, he was so powerful that it was like he was being prideful, but wasn't really being prideful.

She felt a shiver go through her as his eyes that were originally pools of liquid emerald became pure orange, like a fire was burning in his eyes.

She felt her hand slowly heat up, but before it could get uncomfortable all the heat that was in her fingertips disappeared, almost like they cooled off, looking up she could only dumbly mutter,"How did you...are you able to control heat?" He chuckled, his eyes slowly returning back to emerald,"You see, like most fire quirk users, I can only control my flames, but what most don't realize is that most of the time, it's that we control heat that we generate, but a loophole that i've found is that if a fire user applies heat to a already heated object, well physics don't distinguish between natural and generated heat, so if one does that, the two natural and generated heats mix together, and allows them to control the previously naturally generated heat, I actually got the idea from the saying, fight fire with fire." Himiko couldn't stop her eyes from going wide, from what he said, he could completely reinvent how people who have fire quirks use their quirks.

Besides everything else that would make him special like his girlfriends or quirk, when he talked to people he seemed so...normal, like he wasn't the guy who had a super powerful quirk, multiple girlfriends, super intelligent, number one in basically everything they had done so far, and finally it was like he wasn't scared or disgusted by her.


"You do know that I like blood right?" Izuku looked in Himiko's eyes, and knew that what she asked was a loaded question,"You said you love blood right? Besides it obviously being for your quirk, I can only assume that from your reaction people were disgusted by or scared of your quirk right? So from there I can guess that most likely you weren't allowed blood, willingly, did you? Ah, and that thermos probably is filled with blood isn't it?" as he talked her eyes seemed to go impossibly wide, and instead of her eyes being filled with 'almost' insanity when she talked about her quirk and love for blood when they introduced themselves, instead they were filled with confusion and fear, fear of rejection.

Takes a moment to look her in the eye, before taking a slow step back, "Himiko, let me ask you something, you know my quirk revolves around fire, but the question is, 'is that all it can do?'" with a slow movement he went to the kitchen table, and grabbed a apple from the basket sitting on it, with that he turned back around to Himiko's face, with a outstretched hand towards her, he held the apple in the palm of his hands, and than let his true flames light up.


Himiko's couldn't deny that what she saw didn't make her shiver in slight fear, Izuku was a hero hopeful, but most likely, if he had ever been a villain no one could have stopped him, that was the only thing she could think off as she saw ring flow orange, spewing out completely orange flames, and saw as anywhere the flames made contact with the apple, it turned into stone, and only a second passed before they receded, leaving a stone looking apple in his hand, with a small smile he tossed it to her, letting her feel the weight off the now stone apple, leaving her to contemplate what she had been shown just now.


AN-

I'll admit this is just sort of a intermission chapter, with a new plot bone to chew on, to get the creative juices flowing, and also this fic isn't dead, it was just postponed for...other projects, and a slight drawback to writing so much, but I've taken a break, and unlike last time I said this, their should be one way sooner, and I say this in full confidence as I'm already writing the next chapter as of doing this author note, anyway , please review...or something like that? I don't really remember what I said at the end of my chapters before, and I'm to lazy to look
