Prolouge: Izuku Kayama

Izuku Kayama, age 16, a boy who looked nothing like his mother, and had bags under his eyes was sitting in a chair and across from him in their own chair was Izuku's therapist, Emi Fukukado, also known as the Pro Hero Ms. Joke. She was a therapist when she wasn't doing hero work. She had come to UA only to help Izuku,

"So Izuku, how are you doing?" Emi asked him

Izuku looked at her, "Things have been good... Schools about to start up again and I'll finally be able to help my mom around the campus this year" Izuku replied

Emi nodded with a soft smile, "that's good, I also hear you'll be working with Eraserhead and his class correct?" She asked

Izuku nodded, "Uncle Shota seemed to really take an interest in this class for some odd reason"

Emi chuckled. She had known Shota not no really like his classes, not because he wasn't interested but because he didn't feel like they had it in them to become a hero. "and everyone else? how are they doing?" Emi asked the boy

"Well, it seems that All-Might will also be joining this year and even teaching a class this year as well. Mom says she'll be working with Uncle Kan will also be teaching another freshmen class and I'll also be working with him as well so I'm actually glad I'll get to help instead of being locked up in my room" Izuku chuckled

Emi smiled before she looked at the boy and her expression saddened as she didn't want to ask this question but Nemuri had mentioned that Izuku could be having nightmares.

"Izuku... your Mother mentioned that you've been having nightmares? can you tell me about them?" Emi asked the young boy.

Izuku looked at her and his face saddened. "I see this woman with dark emerald hair and her eyes are red... drags me into this black pool of tar and I hear voices, no, I hear screaming... My mothers, Uncle Shota, Uncle Nezu, and Snipe. I hear another voice but I don't know who they are..." Izuku finished

Emi was no indeed scared to ask, she had never wanted to ask this question again but she needed to know.

"Izuku?" She began

Izuku then looked at her and she could feel her heartbreak as he knew what question was coming and she remembered the first time she had ever asked the boy when he was only 7. She remembered how Nemuri had reacted when she too had heard his answer.

"Are you hearing the voices again?" Emi finished

Izuku looked at her and to her surprise and relief, Izuku had shaken his head. "No, thankfully... it's just been the dreams..." Izuku said sadly

"Are you having the same dream or do they differ?" Emi asked

"They differ" He replied

"Tell me about them," Emi told him

"I-I see a woman in a red wedding dress... but her head is in bandages and her eyes are just black circles on the bandages and her mouth is also just a red bloody circle on the bandages. I dance with her, and then these skeletons dance with us"

Emi looked at him with both worry and confusion but she kept listening

"Then... I just see the emerald-haired women and she begins taking bites out of my flesh... it feels and looks so real... but then I see another girl begin to bite me, yet..." Izuku began

"yet what Izuku?"

"I enjoy it... and the girl, she feels different, like I've seen her before... I'm not scared of her, she even cries when she bites me and for some reason... all I want to do is comfort her" Izuku said

Emi thought back to his file and knew what he was talking about. She didn't, however, think this was how he would remember things. She never once thought that his memories would return in the form of nightmares, strange and frightening nightmares.

"Aunt Emi?" Izuku asked

Emi looked to the boy, she hadn't heard him call her that even when they were having a session but he always called her that when he needed her to be his aunt figure.

"Am... am I going insane?" Izuku asked with his shaky voice

Emi looked to the boy who she had indeed looked to as a nephew and she got up and sat next to him and hugged him. "No Izuku... you're not insane"

Izuku nodded into her shoulder. She was scared and remembered how she had met the boy...

She was called by principal Nezu on her day off as he said they needed her help. when she got there she was lead to the medical ward where she saw this 7-year-old boy, his hair was short and he had a bandage around his arm and both of his legs as well as she noticed some around his chest and ribs. He had pale skin and she could almost see his bones. Nemuri was next to the boy and when the boy saw Emi he hid behind Nemuris legs.

Nemuri then looked down to the young boy, "Izuku, this is Emi Fukukado, she's a hero like me... she just wants to talk to you"

Izuku looked up at Nemuri, "I-Is she g-going t-to ta-take me a-away?" he asked in a frightened tone

"No, Izuku I wouldn't let that happen," Nemuri said as she bent down and looked at the boy "she's just going to ask you some questions ok? and if you don't feel safe then you can squeeze my hand ok?" She asked

Izuku turned to Emi and then looked back to Nemuri and nodded, "o-ok" he said

Emi would never forget that day as she had finally learned what some humans were capable of. Izuku left the office as that was all Emi wanted to talk about with him. Now she just needed to make a call to Izuku's mother. she still couldn't believe that Nemuri had adopted such a sweet and innocent boy who was now such a hard-working person

[Hello? Emi what's up?]

"Hey Nemuri just wanted to let you know that I'm finished with Izuku and he should be heading back to the house," Emi said

[thanks Emi, anything else?] Nemuri asked

Emi took a deep breath and steeled herself, "We need to talk next Saturday, it's about Izuku's dreams... I think he might start remembering" Emi told Nemuri

There was silence for a minute as she had let Nemuri process the information.

[Are you sure?] Nemuri asked

"yes" Emi replied

Thye discussed more on the subject, but that would be told for another time... Just know that Izuku's problems are just beginning.
