Watch and wait, stand on the sidelines and see the world turn, knowing you cannot do anything. But you can. You can change and that makes all the difference. Doesn't it? You've already changed, rocketed from one reality towards the next alongside strangers. Although you're no longer strangers, you now have interest in what happens to these poor souls, to those you call friends. They are your friends, right? Those you share experiences with, care about, help when it's needed. Don't worry though, they can handle everything themselves, they can do as asked of them, unlike you. Sitting here on the sidelines, only offering cryptic knowledge and somehow you're still treated as the most valuable one of them all, even though you can't seem to do anything at all. Unlike dear [Schrodinger], who only seems all too ready to step up and help everyone.

You can step up and help, right?

Just say something. Do something.

Anything.

I can't sit around here forever, can I?


[Schrodinger]; There's nothing like a good ol' sense of disappointment in the system.

[Abilene]; Who done screwed up this time, love?

[Schrodinger]; You were going to say something different, weren't you?

[Abilene]; Well, yes, but we have a small child here, so I can't just go and say that, can I?

[Value]; You can say fuck, . Kacchan says it all the time.

[Observer]; Your "Kacchan" is a horrible example. But if the shoe fits...

[Schrodinger]; Observer! I thought we were never going to be able to corrupt you! Welcome to the dark side, we have high quality memes.

[Value]; [Query]

[Observer]; [Hard Refusal]. Izuku, please stay a sweet summer child as long as you can, alright?

[Schrodinger]; Ya'll know I love my connections, but sometimes, they're just... ahhhhhhhhh! Why couldn't I have been placed in a less known school, one whose focus isn't heroics?

[Zeno]; You got placed at U.A., didn't you? See, this is why the whole exchange student idea was a horrible one.

[Schrodinger]; Bet.

[Bhartrhari]; That is horrible bet, Schrodinger. U.A. would almost certainly claim you so they didn't have to worry about collateral damage on their campus as much in the name of "experience". Even with that teacher of theirs.

[Value]; U.A. wouldn't do that! They're all heroes!

[Observer]; As the saying goes; Don't meet your heroes, Izuku. They're not all what they're cracked up to be. Besides, you know what attending U.A. means, right?

[Schrodinger]; Yeah, yeah, a close up look at the newest heroes of the generation, right?

[Zeno]; Connections in places that we aren't going to be able to access with this few people.

[Sorites]; If only one of us wanted to be a Hero...

[Zeno]; Don't goad the young one. He's doing his best, honestly you wonder why we don't trust you to be without Schrodinger...

[Sorites]; Hey! I'm not that bad!

[Value]; You kinda are... Sorry!

[Abilene]; Ooh! Burn! Don't apologize, kiddo, you did great.

[Observer]; Can I guess that nothing else has happened yet? Nothing completely unexpected from the Butterfly Effect? Can't keep this stuff up 24/7.

[Abilene]; We're fine, we're fine! Unless I should go and become a SuperVillain?

[Sorites]; Hey! My shtick's to go off and make completely horrible suggestions!

[Schrodinger]; Hah! You admitted it!

[Sorites]; Noooooooo...

[Bhartrhari]; I swear you lot are children at times.

[Observer]; We all pretty much are. As far as I'm aware, you're the only adult here.


The world repeats upon itself, unfolding and refolding into all that is and isn't there. Butterflies flapping their wings with each word that is said, a kaleidoscope of infinite possibilities. You aren't supposed to be here, none of you were, but you deny that, like all things. Just focus and concentrate on that which is here, the safety of Zack, Alex, Taylor, Akane, Hizashi, and Izuku. Look, look, look. Not move, not say, look. [Deny] it all you want, say that this is for the best all you wish, but you know that at the end of the day, that doing somehting is better than nothing.

Move five steps to the left.

A car rockets past, and all you can think about is what the repercussions of that are. Why only five steps? Why not shout a warning? What would have happened if I was not hit? Does that truly matter? You are safe and fine, and your friends don't have to worry about stumbling about in the dark. Not that you know all that much more than they do. Any further than an hour, any major deviations from the knowledge that you all have, and there simply isn't anything to see.

You sit down on a bench, and the world explodes into color. Blues and Oranges coalesce into figures of what could happen, things that won't happen, that will happen. You can't really tell if what will become truth and what will become lies, but you watch nonetheless, in hopes of finding something. Of finding what, is unknown. More often than not, Death is prevalent in these future endings. That and chains. Ah, here are some now to consume you and drag you under into the grasp of hands and then the void. Visions shift, and suddenly you're surrounded by happy children running about under the watch of Taylor and Zack. The two of them appear to be happy, at least until a shadow appears and then Taylor is gone, out of reach. More often than not in recent visions, Taylor is wearing chains. For what, you aren't sure. These Visions aren't always so literal, but then... you don't think that chains exactly mean good things.

The visions fade out and the world continues on. People around you walk down the street, going about their day. It's time to move on, and you stand up. Time to go home, but home feels half a lifetime and an alternate universe away. A patch of green hair passes by, but you dismiss it. Not like going and talking to Izuku will fix anything. Well, it might, but then those things would pop up and getting someone to fix those would not be pleasant.
