Hey people and welcome back to another chapter of this story. Before we get into it though, I just want to say a couple of things. Firstly thank you so much for the reception the first chapter received, I honestly didn't expect it to get noticed so thank you for that. Secondly, when it comes to me replying to reviews, I will PM you as I find it easier than writing a response here. Finally, this is the chapter where the story will really pick up, there will still be some explaining, but for the most part there will be progression. Anyway, let's get into the chapter!
I do not own My Hero Academia or it's characters, the franchise belongs to its respective owners!
Gravitational Sorrow
By Kokoyori
It had been a week since Toshinori started visiting Izuku and in that time, Toshinori had become the only person Izuku could trust properly.
Even when it came to simple things like taking blood, Izuku needed Toshinori to be there. Because of this, any time Toshinori wasn't in his office or out on patrol, he was with Izuku. Though he didn't mind, he had also grown attached to the kid in the week he had known him. Though Toshinori still had some things he needed to ask about.
Like how he wondered where Izuku's white hair had come from and what were the full extent of his quirks powers. He decided that today was the day he would get his answers.
With Toshinori In The Hospital -
Toshinori walked inside the hospital, but he wasn't going to Izuku, not yet at least. He needed to find someone first.
He searched for a bit, but eventually found who he was looking for.
"Ah Doc there you are" he said
The Doctor looked at him with curiosity, then saying "Hello Mr. Yagi, what can I do for you today?" he asked the skinny man.
"I need to ask you a few questions before I go see Young Midoriya, if that's alright?" Toshinori asked the Doctor.
"Yes that's fine, go ahead" he responded simply.
"Okay, firstly how come Izuku's hair turned white? Did he dye it or something? I never wanted to ask Izuku because I didn't want to put him under pressure" Toshinori told the Doctor.
"I thought you would eventually ask. Basically, Izuku went through something called Marie Antoinette Syndrome" the Doctor said, while looking at Toshinori's confused face.
"Can't say I've ever heard of it Doc" stated Toshinori.
"I didn't think you would have. I'm not going to go into too many details as I'm sure you would prefer a simplified version" he said. The Number 1 Hero just nodded in embarrassment.
The Doctor chuckled at this "Don't worry, I'm not offended" Toshinori just sighed in relief at his comment. The Doctor quickly started talking again "But to the explanation. Basically, Izuku experience so much stress in a short period of time, that the cells occupying his hair colour were attacked, killing them off. This left his hair being completely white, it's a very rare case and if it happens, it usually happens at old age or over a longer period of time. For it to happen to someone who has only just turned 4 and in such a short period of time is unheard of…" the Doctor explained.
A/N - Now I know this isn't fully true and that stress isn't the main cause of hair colour changing in reality, but it is for the sake of this story. Anyway back to the story ~
Toshinori was saddened by the explanation, he knew Izuku was going through lots of stress, but not to this extent. Though he had sometimes been there to witness Izuku and some of the nightmares he had.
Flashback 3 Days Ago -
Both Izuku and Toshinori were in Izuku's hospital, both looking quite tired.
Toshinori had been with Izuku for about an hour now, when the boy had finally started to drift off to sleep.
Toshinori almost followed his example, but had to stop himself when he noticed something was wrong with Izuku, he was sweating loads while also rolling around in his sleep. This worried Toshinori, so he instinctively started shaking the boy, trying to wake him up.
When he succeeded, Izuku jumped up and looked around in panic. He was clearly confused and scared.
"T-toshi?" Izuku asked the man with a shaky voice.
Toshinori pulled him in for a hug, saying "It's alright, I am here".
Those words; the same words he had heard his idol All Might say, they reassured him, they helped him feel calm, they made him think that nothing in the world could harm him.
"T-thank you, Toshi" he said while wiping away his tears.
Toshinori smiled "It's quite alright Young Midoriya!"
Flashback End
After thinking back on what had happened, all Toshinori was thinking was 'Poor kid'.
The Doctor then spoke up "But enough about that, you said you had another question?"
"Ah yes, have you been able to get Young Midoriya to use his quirk?" Toshinori asked.
"Unfortunately no, he constantly refuses and then says something about how his quirk is that of a villain. However, yesterday when we asked him, he said he might be willing to use it if you were there when it happened, would that be alright with you?" the Doctor asked him.
"Yes that would be fine, I am also quite curious about his quirk. However we will need to have someone there to erase his quirk if he cannot control it" Toshinori explained
"Yes that is correct, would you happen to know somebody like that?" the Doctor asked.
Toshinori sighed "Yes, we don't really get along but I'm sure he would agree if I told him the circumstances if Young Midoriya" he informed the Doctor.
"Okay, when he arrives, come to Midoriya's room so we can take him somewhere he can test his quirk"
"Okay, I will go and call him now" and with that, Toshinori left and started scrolling through his contacts until he stopped on a certain name.
'Shota Aizawa'
Toshinori sighed 'I really don't want to have to do this, but it's for the sake of Young Midoriya'
And with that, he started a call. Toshinori waited for a few seconds before the call was answered and he heard a tired voice on the other side.
"Why are you calling me All Might?" Shota, otherly known as Eraserhead, asked him.
"Hello to you to Eraserhead, I was just asking if you could do me a favor" he asked sheepishly.
"And what would that be?" Toshinori could hear the boredness in his voice.
Toshinori then proceeded to explain why Eraserhead was needed, while also explaining that the kid was the one who caused the deaths of 60 people last week.
This intrigued Eraserhead "So basically, you want me to be there while he tests his quirk so nothing like last week happens, correct?" he asked.
Toshinori was surprised how he was so accepting of it all, but he eventually spoke up "Yes, that's the idea" he responded.
"Alright" Eraserhead informed him.
"R-really?" Toshinori asked, surprised by the hero's answer.
"Yeah, it's not like I was doing anything and I am a hero, so helping people is what I do" Eraserhead said that, but really, he was interested by the kid 'To have so much power at his age is very rare, he has lots of potential' he thought.
"Thank you so much!" Toshinori said very loudly into the phone.
Eraserhead then spoke up, "Don't think you don't owe me though" he said, in his usual bored tone.
"O-of course" Toshinori wasn't really surprised by what the man said.
"Okay so which hospital am I going to?" Eraserhead asked.
"Ah yes! Meet me outside xxxx hospital as soon as possible" he responded.
"Got it, I should be there soon" and with that, Eraserhead hung up and started getting ready to head out.
Some Time Later -
When Eraserhead arrived at the hospital, he noticed a slender man with blonde hair at the entrance 'Still not used to that appearance' he thought.
"Ah there you are Eraserhead, thank you for coming on such short notice" Toshinori said as the other man walked up to him.
"It's fine, lets go inside though, I want to get this over and done with" he informed Toshinori as they both walked towards Izuku's room.
When they arrived, Toshinori opened the door to reveal the Doctor talking to Izuku about what they were going to do.
But one thing caught the attention of Eraserhead, 'Didn't all the news outlets say he had green hair? This kid has white hair…' he thought to himself while he remembered what the police said about the matter.
Unfortunately for Izuku, news about who caused the deaths had gotten out a little bit after the incident, nobody really knows how, as the Police and Heroes were sure they didn't say anything that would reveal details on Izuku. But the information was already out and there was nothing they could do at that point.
The Chief of Police had to make a statement on the matter, explaining that it was caused by a quirk awakening after a boy saw his mother's life being threatened. He had received many questions, most being about what would happen to the boy and if he would be prosecuted for what he did. He answered by simply saying that nothing that happened was in the boys control and that he had no remaining family, so nobody could really be charged for what he did.
The law was lenient when it came to incidents caused by quirk awakenings, probably due to how the person awakening their quirk sometimes has no control of their quirk. So in the end, it was decided that nothing would happen to the boy, but the Chief of Police made sure to inform everyone that they would keep a close eye on the boy, which made the people finally shut up about everything.
Eraserhead personally had no problem with the decision, he agreed with it in fact. But he knew there were some people out there that won't agree, so the kid would probably never be able to escape is past, even if he tried.
"Hey Al- I mean Yagi?" he almost slipped up, Toshinori told him that the kid didn't know about his true identity yet.
"Hm?" Toshinori said while accepting a hug from Izuku.
"You sure this is the right boy? It said he had green hair on the news" Eraserhead informed him.
"Oh yeah, I should have mentioned that, Young Midoriya's hair colour changed due to all the stress he was going through, leaving it white" he said simply.
"Hmmmm, interesting…" Eraserhead replied while questioning how much stress the boy would have had to go through for his hair to change colour like it did.
"Is that why I have white hair now Toshi?" Izuku asked.
"Indeed Young Midoriya! But enough on that, are you ready to test your quirk out, or are you not ready?" he asked the young boy.
Toshinori understood that Izuku may not be comfortable using his quirk, even if he said he would be, he had been traumatised by what his quirk did.
Izuku looked on, slightly nervous "U-um… I-I think I'm ready to try out my quirk, I don't want to be a burden to everyone anymore…" his voice was shaky, he was scared to use his quirk again.
"Well that's good Young Midoriya! But remember, never think of yourself as a burden to anyone, it's not your fault" Toshinori reassured the boy.
All while this was going on, Eraserhead stared at the 2, while wondering how a kid was able to think of stuff like that. But before he could think any more, Toshinori spoke up.
"Oh yeah! I should probably introduce you to my friend here Young Midoriya" he said while pointing at Eraserhead, "This is Shota Aizawa, he's a pro hero called Eraserhead" he explained.
Izuku was surprised that a pro hero was here, but it made him feel more comfortable around him.
"N-nice to meet you" he said to Eraserhead.
"Nice to meet you too kid, you can just call me Aizawa if you want though" he informed the boy.
"O-oh, ok" he said while smiling a bit at the revelation.
Toshinori then spoke up, "I should probably explain why Eraserhead is here, his quirk allows him to erase other people's quirks by looking at them, so he is here so you can't lose control" he informed Izuku.
Izuku felt much more comfortable now, knowing that he can't hurt anyone with his quirk, though he was still scared.
Outside In A Testing Area -
"Okay then, not that we are here, we can start" the Doctor said.
They then proceeded to do multiple tests to find out everything they could about the mysterious quirk, which started in finding out how to turn it off. The first few attempts ended in Eraserhead having to shut off Izuku's quirk. Luckily Izuku could somewhat control the distance and output of his quirk, so the other people or himself weren't at risk, but Izuku just couldn't figure out how to turn his quirk off.
After a couple more attempts, he finally managed to do it by him repeatedly telling himself to stop his quirk, which it eventually did.
After this they did a few more tests, mostly seeing if what the doctors had suspected about his quirk was true or not, which all of it was, apart from one thing.
When it came to testing the erasing side of his quirk, they asked Izuku to use a small output on someone, which he was reluctant to do at first, he didn't want to hurt anybody else. But after Aizawa reminded that nobody would get hurt as long as he was there, he finally agreed.
What they found was different that what they had assumed. Izuku couldn't erase quirks, it was more like he suppressed them. Although the suppression on Emitter and Transformation type quirks was minimal, Izuku could basically render anyone with a Mutant type quirk useless.
It was truly mysterious, how it had a much larger effect on Mutant quirk users, the only explanation the Doctor could give is that Izuku suppresses the quirk factor, but the suppression working especially on Mutant types.
After they had done all the testing, Eraserhead left to go home, however not without getting a hug from Izuku first, which startled him but in the end he returned it and smiled, a rare sight in Toshinori's eyes.
After Eraserhead left, Toshinori took Izuku back to his hospital room, but before he left, he finally decided to tell the boy his intentions.
"Young Midoriya, before I go I have something to tell you" he said as the boy looked at him with curiosity. "The truth is, I have been meeting up with you often because I plan on adopting you" he told the boy.
Izuku was completely shocked. After the incident, he quickly realised that he had no family left, so he would have to be put up for adoption soon. He couldn't think of anyone who he would be comfortable with adopting him, bar maybe the Bakugou's.
The Bakugou's had visited Izuku as soon as they could after they heard what happened. Mitsuki and Masara comforted Izuku, while Katsuki just stood there with anger on his face.
Katsuki asked for a moment alone with Izuku, which his parents agreed to. After they were alone, Katsuki quickly looked at Izuku and started shouting at him, saying it was all his fault his Auntie was dead. Before he left, he called Izuku a monster for what he did and his new white hair.
Izuku didn't know what to say at the time, his best friend had betrayed him and called him a monster, what could he say?
But right now he was even more speechless. The man that cared for Izuku and made him feel safe was now saying to him that he was willing to adopt him, to take him in and raise him like one of his own.
Izuku just dropped to his knees and started crying "T-thank you" was all he could muster. "Thank you so much" he said, his voice braking while saying it.
Izuku then got up and hugged Toshinori, a gesture he quickly returned, "It's no problem at all Young Midoriya" he said, comforting the boy.
After they broke away from the hug, Izuku asked him a question "So when can you adopt me?" he said innocently.
The innocence from him made Toshinori's heart squeeze, "Well, I will just have to sign a few legal documents, you have already technically been put up for foster care, so there is no need for any wait" he said.
This made Izuku smile properly, something Toshinori had seen rarely from the boy in the entire week he had been visiting him, 'I am just glad he's smiling' is what he thought.
The Next Day -
During the day after, Izuku and Toshinori went to the adoption centre to register. Toshinori had to be assessed to see if he was capable of taking care of Izuku. After that was done, he was told that they had to take an in depth assessment, which would take around 2 months, then Izuku would be in custody of Toshinori.
A/N - I'm not a professional on adoption, so this is just kind of a guess on what happens when you want to adopt a child. Sorry if I am incorrect in my assumption ~
During the two months they had to wait, Izuku was put into temporary foster care, which he didn't mind, he would be living with Toshinori soon enough anyway.
And soon it was, the two months flew by and Toshinori had been given the okay to take Izuku to his new home.
Izuku was now also officially known as Izuku Yagi. He missed his old name, however after what he did, he didn't believe that he was worthy of the name anyway, which is also why he didn't dye his hair back green when Toshinori have him the option.
When Izuku arrived at his new house, he was surprised to see how big it was, he decided he would ask Toshinori later.
For now though, he just wanted to unpack his things and go to sleep, he still couldn't sleep properly in the foster home, maybe this is where that would change.
When Toshinori started unpacking Izuku's things they got from his old apartment, he chuckled at the sight of all the All Might merchandise. Izuku certainly would be in for a surprise later.
After everything was unpacked, Toshinori sat down Izuku for a talk. But before he could say anything, Izuku had his own question.
"Toshi, are you rich or something?" he asked.
Toshinori laughed at what the boy said, "I guess you could say that, the reason I called you here was so I could explain to you something that you need to know if you're going to live with me" Izuku just stared at him with curiosity.
"Now Izuku. When I do this, I don't want you to freak out too much, okay?" he asked the boy, who was now even more confused.
"Now you know me as Toshinori Yagi, my true self. But I have another side to myself, I am-" as he was about to finish, he suddenly grew in size, he was now incredibly muscular and he had a huge grin on his face. "ALL MIGHT!" he finally finished.
"W-what?" was all Izuku could say, one second his new Dad was there, then the next stood his idol, All Might.
"WHAT?!" he screamed. "YOU'RE ALL MIGHT?!" he shouted again.
All Might laughed at this, "Indeed I am!" he shouted.
And with that, Izuku fainted from the shock.
He later regained consciousness, confused as to why he was asleep on the couch, but then he remembered.
"Toshi?" he asked the man that was sitting opposite from him.
"Yes?" the man responded.
"Was that a dream? It must have been, right?" Izuku asked him, still slightly confused.
"Actually," Toshinori started, before becoming buff "It was not a dream!" he then deflated again. "Sorry, I'm more comfortable in this form" he said.
"W-wait. So this entire time, you have actually been All Might?" Izuku asked, surprisingly calm in the situation.
"Yes, I would have told you sooner, but it is a sworn secret that is only known by a few people. I will explain now" and so, he explained everything about his injury and how he got it, leaving out the details about One For All for now. He wanted to give One For All to Izuku, he knew that he had a kind heart, but right now the boy had been through enough, he needed some time to let everything sink in. 'I will tell him within the next few years' he decided in his head.
"Wow! That's so cool!" Izuku said after hearing the story.
His words shocked Izuku, but Izuku started talking again, "You're in a weakened state but you still do loads of hero work everyday, that's so cool!" he said with a smile on his face.
Toshinori chuckled at the boys words 'Not how I expected him to react in all honesty, but I'm glad he reacted like this' he thought.
"Thank you Young Mid-" he stopped, which confused Izuku, "Let's try that again. Thank you, son"
Timeskip, 6 Years -
It has been 6 years since Izuku was adopted by the Number One Hero and he was now in his fifth year of Elementary School.
Over the years, Izuku trained his quirk and his body, even at his young age. He did this mainly because he didn't want to lose control over his quirk again; he didn't want to put others at unnecessary risk.
However, to say that Izuku's school life was good would be a huge overstatement. When he entered, he tried to come off as quirkless, he didn't like his quirk and he didn't want to use it, he saw what it could do first hand.
Everyone looked at him weird even before he introduced himself as quirkless, I mean, it's quite rare to see someone with white hair like his. But when he introduced himself, the worst thing that could have possibly happened, actually happened. He noticed that his old best friend was in his class, Katsuki Bakugou.
When Ikuku told the class he was quirkless, Katsuki was having none of it. And right then and there, he essentially ruined the next 6 years of Izuku's life. He told everyone exactly who Izuku was: the kid who killed 60 people in the Mustafu mall 2 years prior to Izuku's introduction.
Everybody in the room had heard of what happened, how couldn't they have? It was on the news constantly for a month after it happened, everyone in Japan knew about what happened unless they lived under a rock.
But before Izuku could even say anything, everyone in the room started whispering to each other.
And from that day onward, Izuku was tossed aside by everyone, an outcast. But that wasn't just it, he was also constantly tormented by Bakugou and his friends, calling him a 'Villain' and a 'Monster'. They tormented him for the next 4 years, every single day they could.
Before all this, Izuku was already very shy and nervous around others, he also had major trust issues after the incident and what Katsuki did in the hospital, it left him completely scarred.
But after 4 years of tormenting, he was even worse. He could barely form a sentence at times. His trust issues had gotten so bad, that he would usually just ignore everyone around him.
His emotions were everywhere as well, switching between sadness, anger, confusion, etc. To try to combat this, he tried to erase his emotions, they were annoying to him, how they were constantly switching. It worked most of the time, but around the people who tormented him daily, he couldn't do anything.
He was sick and tired of everything, but he didn't want to worry his Dad, the one person in his life that cared for him. So around him, Izuku would wear a fake smile, which he was never questioned about, probably due to how Toshinori was always tired from work, being the Number 1 Hero certainly wasn't easy.
But, little did Izuku know, everything was about to change.
At The Front Gates Of School -
As Izuku walked through the gates to school, or the gates to hell as he called them, he sighed heavily, knowing that today would be like any other day. He started thinking about his day.
'I'll go to classes, get tormented, go to classes again, then get tormented again. And you never know, I might even get stopped on the way home today, it depends on how Bakugou is feeling today I guess' he sighed again.
Before he knew it, he was already walking through the halls of his school. He walked past people, getting the usual comments, things like "Look, it's the monster" and "Why isn't he in jail?"
At this point they meant nothing to Izuku, he was by far used to them now. He walked to his classroom, opened the door and made his way to his seat in the back corner by the window. Which is something he had requested, a seat in the back with the least amount of people around him, so he also had a spare seat to his right.
As all the students started coming in, they all gave Izuku the usual looks, until he heard a familiar voice approaching him.
"HEY! DAMN VILLAIN!" Izuku turned to see Bakugou in his face, shouting mean things at him, this made Izuku feel slightly sad, the comments always hurt more when they came from Bakugou's mouth.
But Bakugou was interrupted when the Teacher came in, telling everyone to sit down. Bakugou looked at Izuku and gave him the 'You are dead later' look.
"Ok everyone, settle down! We have a new student joining us today" the Teacher then motioned for someone to walk in.
The person who walked in was a girl with brown colour hair and chestnut brown eyes to go along with them, she had blush marks on her cheeks. A bubbly personality just radiated from her, Izuku could feel it from the back of the room.
She then spoke up "H-hi everyone! My name is Ochaco Uraraka and I recently moved here with my family due to work, I hope we can all get along!" she said while smiling at everyone.
Most people started introducing themselves, ignoring the Teacher who was telling them to sit down. Then came question everyone wanted to know the answer to: "Hey, what's your quirk?"
She looked up, with a smile on her face "My quirk allows me to nullify the effects of gravity on a target by touching them, it's called Zero Gravity!" she said with pride, she knew her quirks was very useful.
The majority of the class erupted, saying about how good of a quirk it was, she felt embarrassed by all the praise she was getting from people she hadn't even known for 5 minutes.
This all stops when someone makes a comment: "That quirk is like the opposite of Yagi's quirk right?" the person asked the class, "Oh yeah and it is!" someone responded, "Well at least we don't have to worry about the monster harming us now" someone else added.
Ochaco was really confused at what they were all saying 'who is the monster they are on about?' she questioned in her head. She scanned the room, looking at the 5 people who weren't by her, 4 of them being around a table 'I assume it's not any of them' she thought.
She then looked into the corner of the room and saw a boy with his head in his arms on the desk, she noticed his white hair that could stand out from a mile away. Before she could question anything though, someone spoke up saying: "Look at him over there, why is he even here? He should be in a prison like all villains should be" they said with venom in their voice.
But again, before Ochaco could even say anything, the teacher told everyone to be quiet and sit down, 'He isn't even going to say anything about what they were saying?' she wondered.
"There is only one free space in the back next to Izuku over there, the one with white hair, how about you go and sit next to him?" the teacher informed Ochaco.
She nodded to the Teacher, but while she was making her way to her seat, she could hear all the whispering about Izuku, saying they felt sorry for her that she had to sit next to the monster.
When she sat down, she turned to her left and looked at the boy, who slowly raised his head after hearing the lesson starting. He then noticed her staring at him and they locked eyes.
Izuku stared at her, but strangely enough, he didn't feel threatened by her, or he didn't feel like she had any bad intentions. It was a new sensation for him, not feeling uncomfortable by a new person's presence.
Ochaco on the other hand, finally got a look at the boys face, he had bags under his emerald green eyes, which were slightly red, 'Was he crying?' was what she was asking in her head. But the thing that stood out the most to her was the expression on his face, he looked like he was going through a lot currently. She couldn't help but wonder what exactly happened to him to have a face like that. But she finally decided to speak up and break the awkward staring competition.
"H-hi, I don't know if you heard me from the front, but my name is Ochaco Uraraka, it's nice to meet you" she said with a smile on her face.
The smile warmed Izuku's heart, he couldn't help but stare in awe of the scene in front of him. He then decided on doing something that he hadn't done in a while, speak to someone.
"U-um h-hi, my n-name is Izuku Yagi" he said very nervously.
"Hi Yagi! I hope we can be friends" she said while smiling.
Izuku wondered to himself 'Friends, huh?'. He opened his mouth to reply, "I'm sorry but I don't think we can be friends, if you are friends with me then they will just target you as well, I don't want the rest of your time here to be ruined because of me" he responded, he hated denying a friend, but he didn't want her to get hurt as well. "I'm sorry" he said again.
"I-it's okay, if you don't want to be friends, that's fine" she said, with clear disappointment in her voice. But she was more concerned than disappointed, 'Why would he think he will ruin my time her by being friends with him?' she wondered, but she decided not to dwell on it and focus on the lessons instead.
After Lessons Ended For Lunch -
After the lessons were over and it was time for lunch, Ochaco was about to leave when she saw a boy who looked very angry walking over to her, she flinched when he got closer, but he kept on going, he went up to Izuku and started shouting at him.
"HEY YOU DAMN VILLAIN!" he shouted in his face. Izuku looked up, sadness written all over his face.
"The hell were you in here before anyone else huh?! Trying to hide from people huh?! You useless piece of crap!" Bakugou shouted in his face.
Ochaco just looked on in horror at what was happening in front of her, she couldn't believe someone would say such mean stuff to someone else, Ochaco was already angry at this point, but what was about to be said was the last straw.
"You should just take a swan dive off a roof you useless monster!"
As soon as that was said, Ochaco rushed over to them and stepped in between them, shocking both Izuku and Bakugou.
"Don't you dare stay stuff like that to another person! Especially to someone who already looks as sad as Yagi does! You big jerk!" she screamed in his face.
Bakugou was speechless, nobody had ever stood up to him let alone call him anything like a jerk. But the one who was most surprised was Izuku, nobody had ever stood up for him, nobody had ever defended him, let alone from Bakugou of all people.
But he then realised what she had done just done and instantly stood up and went in between her and Bakugou.
"I'm so sorry about what she said Bakugou! She didn't mean it, if you're gonna hurt anyone then hurt me, don't hurt her" Izuku said, trying to defend Ochaco while also making sure she doesn't ruin the rest of her time in this school.
But she was having none of it, "No! I mean what I said, you're just a big bully who boosts their stupid ego by picking on others!" she shouted at Bakugou.
Izuku tried to reason with her, telling her that if she carried on, then she would end up like him. Which he told her that was something she definitely didn't want.
But what she said next shocked Izuku.
"I don't care! If being normal in this school means not stepping in to help you then I don't want to be normal!"
Her words reached him to the core. In his head, he imagined a big wall in front of him, one that he couldn't climb by himself. There was already one hand pulling him up with all they could; it was his Dad. But he alone wasn't enough to pull Izuku up.
And then like something straight from heaven, a small hand with strange looking pads on each fingertip came and pulled him up from the other side, and they succeeded. Izuku finally saw the light, he was no longer stuck behind a wall, with nowhere to go. He stared at the vast landscape around him, it was like he could go anywhere, he was finally free again.
Back To Reality -
As Uraraka grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the classroom and through the hallway, Izuku knew right there and then that from there on, this girl would change his life forever, and for the better.
A/N -
And I'm finally done! It's currently 3am and I just finished this chapter. But damn, like 5700 words, that's insane. I honestly just got lost in my writing lol.
Now to clear something up: For those wondering, when it comes to Izuku and Ochaco's quirk compatibility, Ochaco is basically the only person who can counter Izuku's quirk. At the start of the anime, which is 5 years ahead of where we are now, I'm pretty sure Ochaco's weight limit is 3 tonnes, so I'm gonna take a guess and say that her weight limit is around 2 tonnes currently, so unless Izuku can multiply a things gravity to the point where it weighs more than 2 tonnes, then she will always be able to counter him.
But enough of me going on, I'm going to end the chapter here so I can go to sleep. Thank you all for the support again and remember to check you PM inbox if you review the story.
But on that note, I will see you all in the next chapter!
