Chapter 8; Work Studies
Silver was in the long distance fighters group. Though he fit well in either, he was better in long distance. Quickly he tried to strategize and he watched Izuku's foot pass through Mirio's face…that's his quirk. 'I have to go all out,' Silver thought and clenched his fists, 'Especially since there are no random boxes or barrels around…sometimes, I make no sense.' Jiro's scream easily made Silver snap out of his trance and he watched as Mirio began to take out the long distance fighters. Mirio headed for Silver next but Silver had a plan.
'AMAJIKI!' Silver shouted in his mind and quickly opened a link between him and Mirio. The third year glanced in worry at his friend and Silver took the chance to dodge and stay on defense, guarding his stomach. He jumped back and went for close combat since he would knock them down later, giving Silver more time to think. Mirio appeared in front of Silver but he was ready. The link allowed Silver to know what Mirio was thinking and Mirio to know what Silver was thinking if he let him, allowing Silver to know exactly when and what part of his body was solid. Silver quickly kicked his arm back and headed on landing next to Iida.
"That was close." Silver panted and Mirio turned around looking at the group, "Chaos heal." Silver whispered and instantly his energy was restored and he stood by Izuku and Mirio popped up again.
It was no use (pun not intended) explaining how to dodge and counter since it required them to have the exact same power as Silver or something close and he couldn't waste time. He jumped back and was soon the last one standing. 'Wondering how I'm talking without using my mouth huh?' Silver asked telepathically and stuck out his tongue, 'Your quirk isn't too easy to use now is it?'
"Neither is mine!" Silver yelled and kicked Mirio just in time for the opposing kick.
'You're rather good with your quirk…but mine isn't solid, so scientifically speaking…this should work!' Silver dodged again.
"Your quirk is Telepathy?" Mirio asked with a smirk.
Silver stuck out his tongue, "Psych-ic hold!" Cyan wrapped around Mirio and held him in place, even when he wasn't solid.
Silver smiled with surprise and excitement but too bad since he doesn't practice Telepathy it drains a lot more energy than anything else he uses. So the longer he uses it, the less energy he has quickly. He began to pant and the cyan hold on Mirio flickered out and fell on his knees.
"Curse stupid mind strains…" Silver said and landed on his knees panting, "I didn't know I could do that…"
Mirio looked surprised and smiled at Silver…before punching him in the stomach. And that caused Silver to vomit pretty much immediately.
"POWERRRRR!" Mirio said in victory and Silver groaned.
"Now my head and stomach both hurt." Silver whimpered and closed his eyes in pain, 'I really need to work on my Telepathy, maybe then I can use it longer without so much energy loss. But I did learn something new I can do with my quirk...that's awesome. I held Mirio even if it was for like 5 seconds, still a victory in my book.' Silver thought and rolled over.
Mirio smiled, "Don't worry! You did well, you all have great potential!"
'Dang it! I forgot to turn off the link…more energy loss…ok Mirio give me a minute to recover before I use too much energy and pass out…again.' Silver thought and Mirio nodded at him.
'No prob. Though it is weird to be sharing our thoughts…' Mirio thought and shrugged as Silver sighed.
'Yeah Telepathy is a bit harder for me to control than my Telekinesis, my main quirk…it kinda does a branch thing. I don't use it too often because it makes for a good distraction…' Silver got up finally, 'Don't mind the buzz…" Silver placed his hands on his temples and stuck out his tongue and the small buzz in Mirio's head disappeared after a small pop, as if something got unplugged. 'Chaos Heal.' Silver quickly thought afterwards.
"There! Sorry about that!" Silver said and chuckled nervously.
The third year nodded, "That's a taste of what it's like to fight me." Mirio said and Silver looked around at the class.
"We all just got punched in the stomach without ever knowing what was going on." Izuku said and Silver hummed.
"I had a small idea…" Silver said and patted Izuku's shoulder.
Mirio smiled, "I know right? So what do ya think? Isn't my quirk strong?"
Sero shouted, waving his arms, "It's too strong!"
"That's not fair! Mine's nothing in comparison!" Hakutra shouted.
Ashido was bouncing up and down, "How can you slip through things and warp? Do you have two powers like Todoroki does?"
"Nope! Just the one!" Mirio said with a smile.
Hado came up, "Oh! Oh! Can I say it? Permeation! Cool right?"
Amajiki sighed in the corner, "Hado, let Mirio explain his own quirk."
Izuku asked how he warps and Mirio smiled, "I activate my quirk in my entire body. Then I can pass through anything I want, no sweat! Even solid ground."
Izuku looked at Silver, "Not Silver's quirk though! But why?"
Silver blinked, "Telekinesis is a form of my own mind energy. It's not there, the glow is kinda just a side effect. It's like a ghost, and since Mirio is like that when he activates his quirk…I figured since they were in the same 'dimension' I could lay a hit or hold him." Silver explained, "But enough about my quirk, back to Mirio." (A\N; Not sure if that's how it would really work but it's just my theory and eh to see if it's realistic or not, it's fanfiction for crying out loud! …Sorry…)
"Thank you." Mirio smiled and continued, "When I activate my quirk I go deep underground then after I adjust my pose I pop right back up! Thats physics!"
"Sounds like a buggy video game." Ashido said and Mirio laughed.
"Wow…you were born with a really strong quirk." Tsu said and Silver thought differently.
Mirio spoke softly, "Not true. My power is only strong because I made it that way. While my quirk is activated my lungs can take oxygen. In the same way my ear drums don't work and light can't go through my retinas. I can pass through everything." The feeling took a full 180, "But that means I can't feel anything in that state, even though I have a body I can't stop falling. I could probably keep going down forever. Does that make sense?" He asked and mostly everyone nodded, "So say I want to go through a wall, I would have to concentrate really hard. I would have to activate everything but one leg. I would walk through and make my other leg solid too. Even for such a simple action, many steps are involved."
"Wow...if I were in a rush, I would mess that up every time!" Kaminari said and Mineta nodded. (A\N; I messed it up too…AND I WAS WATCHING IT WHILE I WAS WRITING IT!)
"How are you supposed to move when you can't feel anything?!" The short human exclaimed.
Silver got lost in thought, Mineta's question was a good one...but...if you grew up with that it would easily become natural to you. Silver could kinda relate to Mirio...loud clapping snapped Silver out of his light trance.
"He even gives speeches like a pro!" Ojiro said and Yaoyorozu agreed.
Silver blinked, feeling slightly bad that he wasn't listening but his light guilt was quickly replaced with sudden confusion. His vision blurred and the world around him lightly spun. He did his best to act normal, looking forwards and trying not to fall over. 'What's going on-wait a minute...another vis-no…WHAT THE-' Fear stopped his heart on instinct…
Thin, mostly green, cat-like glowing eyes...peered from the dark. One name came to mind...he wasn't sure how he knew him but eerie, evil vibes came off those eyes in waves. Mephiles...the name caused Silver to freeze completely, utterly petrified. A soft, quiet laugh came from the darkness.
It grew louder and more crazy hidden words within the creepy laugh, "I will find you….Silver the Hedgehog! This...will be your END!"
The dark began to tighten around Silver, closing in and making a new claustrophobia grow in the poor kid as he made fearful attempts to push it away. His heart pounded wildly in his chest and he began to wave his hands out on instinct to stop the dark to fully close in. His poor attempts did nothing and helplessness grew wildly in him and he whimpered feeling defeated and he slowly backed up.
A shadowy hand reached for his face and Silver yelped, closing his eyes and turning away. He prepared for any contact with the ominous shadow...but it never came. Feeling confused, and slightly safer, Silver peeked an eye open and found it was gone.
The darkness, the hand, the eyes, the voice, all of it was gone. He was instead on the concrete gym floor with his knees close to his face and his arms shielding his face. Mr. Azaiwa was bent down straight in front of him with his hand pulled back and everyone else worried around him in a circle. His fearful heart slowly returned to normal and his shakes of fear died down.
"Silver? Are you ok?" Izuku asked, very worried, next to the kneeling teacher.
Silver took slow breaths before nodding, "Y-Yeah...now I am…"
Mr. Azaiwa frowned, "...Come with me."
Silver shook his head, "N-No, I'm alright…" his brain still needed to process what happened…
Mirio now frowned, "You don't seem ok, tell me...when you see a student's eyes get all foggy and they start swaying while not responding to any action of communication. Then freezes with a look of pure fear before waving their hands around then when the teacher asks if they're alright, whimpers. Then the teacher tells them they were going to check them up starting with a check for a fever and they go into a fetal position then acts all fine and says they're ok...do you think that's ok?" ...weeeeelp, no…not really…
"Uh...what?" Silver blinked in confusion, did he really act like that? None of them...saw the eyes? Was...was he ok? "If you're referring to me, I...I just need to rest. I-Izuku? C...can I talk to you? Privately?" He emphasized on 'Privately' to make sure it would be a secure conversation.
All eyes on Izuku, "Uh...yeah, sure. Anything you need Silver…" Silver grabbed his hand and began to walk out, heading to his dorm.
"Where are you going?" Mr. Aziawa asked and Silver did not turn around.
Silver just kept going, "Somewhere."
Once out of the building, Silver quickly took to the skies and headed to his dorm. In a flash they were there and Silver locked his room making Izuku feel nervous.
Silver turned and looked at Izuku seriously, "...did I really act like that?"
"Yeah...are you sure-" Izuku began and Silver shook his head.
"NO!" He practically screamed, "Izuku...I-I…" he felt tears sting up in his eyes, "I don't know what to do…"
Izuku looked worried, "W-Whats wrong?"
"First, Nothing that we talk about leaves this room...ok?" Silver locked eyes with Izuku and the boy nodded, "Ok...Im not sure what's wrong...I...I think I got another vision during class...but this one was different. I don't have a headache-" and he shouldn't have said that.
Silver's eyes flashed in immense pain and he squeezed his eyes shut, tears falling like waterfalls. He reached out for Deku and the boy already a step ahead caught him. Silver squeezed Izuku's arm much tighter than needed, but he needed to know what was and wasn't real.
"Now Silver~" Mephlies teased, "I'll be seeing you soon...very soon...but for now~" the dark being snapped his fingers and Silver felt his head pain increase by ten times, to much for him to handle causing him to black out...but not before he heard Mephlies' last words, "Night, Night my little hedgie."
Silver woke up the next day, soft light filtered into the room. Softly, the pale haired kid sat up and looked out the window seeing the sun...was setting? How long was he out?! What even-
"Night, Night my little hedgie." The words rang loud in his ears and he lightly rubbed his head.
Silver sighed, "That answers one thing…" He got up and walked up to his balcony.
He walked onto his high porch and leaned over to see Izuku with some...other guy? Odd...leaning too far out, Silver fell off and fell, fell, fell...then landed face first into the ground next to Izuku.
The green haired boy jumped with a terrified yelp, "WHATTHEHECK?!"
"...ouch…" Silver muttered and got up, spitting a little bit of blood out of his mouth.
Izuku went wide-eyed, "SILVER?! Are you ok?! You have been sleeping for quite a while…and HOW is your injury just a LITTLE bit of blood?! You fell like FIVE stories HIGH!" (A\N; *laughs so hard I fall out my chair* Yeah! How?! I didn't feel like giving him a lot of injuries, but kids don't follow that example, you'll die for sure. Serious plz don't go doing that.)
"...I don't know. And uh...yeah, never felt so refreshed in my life! Anyways, who was that?" Silver blinked looking at the silhouette in the distance.
Izuku hummed, "Just a reporter...oh, hey want some meat buns? All Might brought them over earlier…"
"Yum! I think...what's a meat bun?" Silver asked to get up and Izuku just laughed.
"Come on!" The green haired boy said and led him inside.
Recovery Girl checked him up before Silver was allowed to go to class, getting the go ahead. Silver rushed over to his class room wanting to know the answer to the work studies, but before he could open the door a VERY loud 'WHAT?!' resounded from the room. Wincing at the noise, Silver opened the door to see Bakugo slam his hands on his desk and laugh victoriously while standing up.
"Uh…" Silver felt awkward so he just quickly went over to his desk and sat down, and by seeing everyones disappointed faces…seems like the answer was-
"But…Some people think we won't be able to raise good heroes with that sort of protective outlook. And with that outlook in mind, the compromise is to be selective about participating agencies. So choose one with a proven track record, otherwise you won't be taking part." Mr Azaiwa said and Silver smiled, YES!
Wait a minute…he wasn't in the sports festival (he never even learned what it was) and the heroes don't even know he goes to the school or is a pretty good hero…he had nowhere to start. Silver frowned deep in thought when a gentle headache came and showed a man with dark brown hair, yellow and green covering his suit.
"Okay! Just don't be arrogant and follow orders." The man said in an annoyed tone, "Welcome to the Lock Lock agency."
The seance subsided and he smiled, Lock Lock…well, now he had a place to start! For the rest of the class until he got a break, his mind was whirling with excitement and wonder about his future mentor. He didn't even know who Lock Lock was! Once he got a break, he immediately began his research. Mr. Azaiwa came up to help Silver find an agency, only to see Silver doing multiple things at once, most of them glowing in cyan. On his phone, many tabs were pulled up and paper was scattered about on his desk glowing cyan while pencils glowing the same when writing stuff down.
"Hmm, seems like you're excited." Mr. Azaiwa said and glanced at one of the papers with the name Lock Lock on it and frowned, 'How does he know Lock Lock when he doesn't even know who Endeavor is? Plus it will be impossible to get a work study there because he hasn't done a work study in a year because of the last kid he had…but he has done them before so if he could somehow convince him then Silver could be able to…' Mr. Azaiwa chuckled at Silver, "How do you even know who Lock Lock is?" (A\N; Also heads up, that is completely untrue because I made it up just for this and I'm not sure if it's Rock Lock or Lock Lock but I'm going with Lock Lock. Also he will most likely be out-of-character. Sorry! I tried…not much to go off though.)
Without looking up, Silver's ear flicked, indicating he heard, "Training…" He muttered and Mr. Azaiwa rose a brow, "Uh…give me a second…" All the papers suddenly piled into one neat stack and the pencils laid on top nicely, "I kinda leveled up and reached a new ability, along with more headaches…" Silver looked at Mr. Azaiwa with a half-there kinda look and hummed, "Remember when you had your scarf around me too tight?"
Mr. Azaiwa nodded, "Yes…so you're telling me that you got Telepathy? And may I ask how that loops to you knowing who Lock Lock is?"
"No, I could do that before. I personally don't like to invade personal privacy…plus it takes a lot of energy." Silver muttered, his mind definitely on something else…most likely his work study, "I got Foresight but it happens randomly and it's very painful afterwards…so it'll take three hours…"
"I guess I'll leave you to that then. But we are talking more about this later, ok?" Mr. Azaiwa said and Silver nodded, absentmindedly. (A\N; Yeah…he has a lot that Azaiwa wants to 'talk about later'.)
Grabbing the papers, Silver ran out of the room and the teacher sighed. Silver ran through the halls, with Iida yelling at him to walk, and slowed down just before he collided with Izuku and Silver fell backwards. A large grin was plastered onto his face and Silver got up, seeing Mirio next to Izuku and nodded.
