So I'm back, with yet another part of the story. Thanks for all the reviews, but it's time for action.
The two teens were slowly wobbling their way to the exit. It was a rather quiet stroll, as young Midoriya was to weak to speak and his companion decided to honour his request. They both failed to see the trail of blood, that was following them or rather him, as the trail started somewhere on Izuku's legs. Five minutes later, they have arrived at the gate and were greeted by a short lady, that was treating a minor bruise on someone's elbow. Although, when she saw Izuku, she immediately run up to him and his female companion.
"What happened?", she asked the half conscious boy.
"I'm just tired, that's all", he whispered while still leaning on his companion.
"Tired people don't leave a trail of blood behind them", the lady said pointing behind the two and starting to examine the green haired teen.
Yaoyorozu looked behind them and, just as the woman said, there was a trail of blood trailing of into the distance. She followed it and it lead her to young Midoriya's legs.
"Miss, he, he told me, that he ripped muscles in his legs or something along the lines", the girl said, while still struggling to keep Izuku from falling.
"Quickly, set him down on that bench", the woman commanded, while she went to the boy, she was tending to moments before. The Creation Quirk user did as she was told to and waited impatiently for the nurse to come back. "Okay, now take off his pants", she said while rummaging through a bag, that she was carrying with her.
"W-w-what?!", the black haired girl exclaimed. "Y-you can't be s-serious about this miss!"
"But I am, do it"
Yaoyorozu stilled herself and unbuckled the belt that was holding his grey trousers. Then she proceeded to strip him of his pants or rather was trying to make herself do it. The woman grew tired of her and pulled his pants down herself, while gesturing for Momo to back off. She now had the possibility to stare at his chiseled legs, and she took it. The sight of his legs had her wondering if he is as well built as his legs show him to be. And these thoughts had her blushing intensively. But, as she glanced once again, she was black circles on his legs as well as trails of blood, that seemed to come out the circles.
"What are these?", the girl questioned out loud.
"Looks like some piece of technology, but I don't know what it even may be. But I may be able to heal him and stop his bleeding", as she finished, she planted a kiss on his forehead and then looked for a bandage in her bag.
"What did you do?", asked curious Yaoyorozu.
"That's my Quirk. I basically heal people by touching them with my lips", she explained, while pulling the bandage from the bag. Then she started to clean the blood off of his legs and strange devices in said limbs. After that, the only thing left to do was to wrap his legs with bandages and dress him back up. "Yes, as good as new", the woman said with a smile.
"Is he sleeping?", guessed the black haired girl.
"Yes. My Quirk doesn't actually heal people. It just boost the speed at which your own body recovers. So it is very exhausting for people to go through", she explained and quickly examined Momo. "You feeling well?", she asked just for good measure.
"Just tired and hungry, I'll manage, thanks for taking care of him", Yaoyorozu thanked with a bow.
"I would not be a Recovery Girl, if I wasn't taking care of injured hero wannabe's", the woman blinked and then walked away, probably to see if anyone else required medical assistance.
And so, Momo was left alone with young Midoriya. "Hmm… What should I do with him now?", her thoughts were interrupted by a very familiar voice.
"Yaomomo!", a girl with short purple hair and dressed kinda like a punk with two earphone jacks coming from somewhere around her ears was currently coming this way.
"Kyouka? Where have you been?", Yaoyorozu asked her best friend as the other girl walked up to her.
"I was looking for you Momo", the girl said smiling. "Mina and I were in the second zone, so we ended up waiting for you"
"If you were together, then where is that energetic being?", Yaoyorozu asked, while scanning the horizon in order to locate her other friend.
"She wanted to eat something, so she speeded of to that bar, that we passed by, when we were walking here. The one selling noodles?", Kyouka tried to explain as good as she possibly could.
"Ah, I remember now", she remembered that the bar had a nice exterior with bonsai's all over the place. "Weren't we supposed to go there after the exam, together?", the girl asked, while strongly emphasising the last word.
"We were", came the answer from Momo's friend, that was now smiling. "Anyhow, who is the cutie on the bench behind you?", she asked; her smile turning into a grin. "Oh, it'll be fun"
"Um, well, we were in the same area, and we just so happened to bump into each other", Yaoyorozu started to explain, while leaving the touchier bits out.
"Oh really? From what I've seen he totally saved your ass from that big freaking bot!", she said with a very content grin plastered on her lips.
"Well, um, yeah… it was something along those lines", Momo smiled while also blushing a bit.
"So… you gonna introduce me or not?", asked the purple haired girl.
"But how, he is… asleep…", the Creation Quirk's user turned around to see a very much awake young Midoriya sitting on the bench. "Midoriya, how long have you been awake?", she asked while approaching him, her friend following suite.
"I was never asleep in the first place", he said looking at his legs. They felt very numb, but the pain was nearly gone. A grunt was heard coming from the short haired girl and directed at the other one.
"Oh, right. Midoriya, this is Jirou Kyouka, my friend from the old school. Kyouka, this is Midoriya Izuku, as you stated earlier the guy that saved from that big bot", she said smiling.
"Umm, hey", spoke the boy with his cheeks turning red and a goofy smile on his face. "Man, and I thought, that talking to one girl would be stressing… And there are two of them now"
"Nice to meet you too", said Jirou. "He really is cute", she thought and mentally chuckled.
"I see, that you, umm, h-have t-the E-earphone J-jack Quirk, r-right?", he asked, trying desperately to make the conversation as casual as he only can.
"Well, yes. You're quite an observer", she admitted smiling at him, which did nothing to calm his nerves.
"So, Midoriya, how do you feel?", asked Yaoyorozu still a little worried.
"I'm fine, d-don't worry", he assured her and stood up, then looked at the screen with leaderboard on it.
"Midoriya.. Midoriya…", Kyouka was mumbling his name, looking for his score. She started at the top, knowing that he must've acquired many points with that Quirk of his. But when she found him, she couldn't believe her eyes. "Ten points?!", she exclaimed.
"From what I've counted, I should've half of it", Izuku mumbled under his nose.
"That's because the big one is actually worth 5 points", explained the Recovery Girl, while collecting her belongings. "That big 0 on it, is to test your decision making. You can fight it, but it'll take time and doesn't offer much reward, but if you decide to destroy it, then you are rewarded for bringing down a tough enemy. It also tests your ability to assess situation, that you are in", the woman dived into details and left the area, with a quick farewell, once she grabbed all of her stuff.
"So that's how it is… The UA really is amazing in it's ways…", mumbled young Midoriya to himself. "I guess I better get going then", he said checking if he had all of his belongings on him. "I-it was n-nice to meet you t-two", and his stuttering was back, being homeschooled would do that to you.
"A-are you sure, that you'll be alright?", Momo asked somewhat worryingly.
"Don't worry, Y-yaoyorozu-san, I'll c-call someone to come for m-me", he assured and left as fast as he could. And then a realization hit the taller girl.
"I forgot to thank him for saving me", she said, looking in the direction that Izuku had ran off to.
"And I think, judging by the score, that you won't have a chance, unless you go full stalker mode", said Jirou looking at the leaderboard.
"That's my fault. He was preoccupied with me, so he had little to no time to get points… I crushed his dreams Kyouka", whispered Yaoyorozu with watery eyes.
"Hey, hey, don't be so harsh on yourself Yaomomo…", her friend walked up to her and gave her a hug. "He didn't have to take care of you, you're a big girl, right?", she asked with a small smile.
"I guess…", Momo answered, while wiping her eyes dry. "So… now we go and find Mina?"
"I failed. Nearly a full year of training and no effects at all", his thoughts were running at nearly the same speed as his words, whenever he started mumbling. "If I am to become a hero, I need to train. And I need to see with doctor Richards", the plan was coming together in his head. He called one of the butlers on his way out of the complex, so he was currently waiting for his ride to arrive, alone with his thoughts. "I need to master the use of my current augs…", was the first, and the most important, thing he had to do. "If I end up half unconscious after every fight then I'll need saving more often, than I would be able to save anyone", was his reasoning. "And the feeling of your muscles being torn to shreds is no fun, believe me", he thought, while breaking the imaginary fourth wall. His mental discussion with himself was brought to a stop by the sound of a car parking right in front of him. It was a grey Mercedes AMG with green details around the lights and in other places too. He approached the car and behind the wheel was a familiar face. "Hello Nejiro-san", he greeted one of the maids that were working for his parents with a smile. Nejiro was nearly as sister to him, she was taking care of young Midoriya whenever his parents had to go abroad for one of their very important meetings. And Izuku didn't mind his parents leaving. He liked Nejiro.
"Hi Izuku-san. How did your exam go?", she asked returning his smile.
"It was… good, I guess", he said with his smile disappearing for a split second, but then coming back up.
The ride home was rather uneventful, as it was noon and everyone was at work. Less traffic meant a shorter ride. Izuku stepped out of the Mercedes and immediately spotted a red Ford Mustang, parked near the doors. "Whose is it?", he wondered as he walked into the mansion. It wasn't small, but it wasn't too big either. It was just the right size. The room was kind of rectangular, but close to being a perfect square. In the center was an ornamented set of stairs that lead to the higher floor. On each side of the room where halls that lead to the various wings of the building. And behind the stairs was a door, that lead to their unroofed swimming pool. Everything was normal, excluding the guy in a black suit in the middle of the room.
"Doctor Richards? I was about to call you", Izuku spoke, as he saw the man standing with his back turned towards the entrance. "You changed cars again?"
"Oh, Izuku, I was wondering when you would show up", answered the man with a smile turning his attention to young Midoriya. "Nah, I just didn't felt like driving a Dodge", he explained and they both laughed.
Doctor Richards was rich, a man had to live up to his name am I right?, and wasn't even trying to hide it. They would laugh about it on regular basis, even though they knew each other for just a little over a month now.
"So, what are you doing here doctor?", Izuku asked as he took the right hallway, that led to their living room.
"Well, I came to check on you and the augs. I was watching the exam via your parents satellite", started Richards.
"We have a satellite?", he sweatdropped as he asked the rhetorical question. "The answer happens to be yes, I think"
"I see, that you're already back in good shape, despite overriding your augs for the first time. I must say, that you really are suitable to bear the augments. In most of my simulations and calculations, the limbs were damaged beyond the point of healing and the only option was undergoing a very serious and risky surgery", the man went on, while still kinda avoiding the main topic.
"And he didn't warn me, because?", another sweatdrop and another rhetorical question. It was going to be a long afternoon.
"But now I see, that your body is stronger than I expected it to be", the man admitted with a smile. "I think, that your strong desire to become a hero has something to do with it"
"Huh, how so?", this caught Izuku's attention. Besides, every little bit of information about his own power could be helpful in the long run.
"As I told you before, these augmentations enhance your body, BUT are tapped straight into your nervous system. I am no neurologist, but I think that your mind unconsciously put a handicap on your augs. A handicap, that made you really strong, while still leaving you alive", Richards explained. "You felt strong emotions back there, yes? The need to… live up to numerous expectation, to prove, that you can become a hero"
"That's, that's true", admitted Izuku. "I really wanted to believe that I can compete on par with everyone else, but after today, I see that I have much to improve", he added thinking about the last two hours.
"Exactly!", shouted doctor Richards, which earned him a confused look from the young boy. "From what your father told me, you are very emotional and strong willed, which are almost a prerequisite to becoming a good, inspiring hero. I think, that these emotions are the key mastering your augmentations. If you find something in your life, that you want to protect or if you set yourself a very selfless goal, then you'll be able to withstand the full power of not only your current enhancements, but also all the augs to come!", the man ended his monologue and found Izuku staring at him.
"So if I find, a friend perhaps, than I would get stronger?", he questioned, trying desperately to grab onto the logic.
"Yes. If this friend will become someone close to you", explained young Midoriya's companion. "You love your parents, so when they said, they were proud of you, you felt the need to make them proud even more. And that's your own driving force. It'll guide you", he said standing up and getting ready to live.
"Wait, you said 'but also all the augs to come'. What do you mean by that?", Izuku asked not fully understanding the man.
"Watching the exam, I saw you bump into that girl and I thought, that the faster you go, the less time you would have to react. So I'm thinking of enhancing your perception", Richards explained smiling.
"Like… installing the augs in my eyes?", Izuku questioned blushing slightly from remembering the quite decent event, featuring him, an attractive girl and high speed chase.
"I thought about something more like, contact lenses or maybe permanently fusing them with your eyeballs. I don't really know at the moment, but I'll keep you informed", doctor Richards said his farewells and left.
"More augmentations… Will my body even withstand it? Not in its current state", he was now laying on his bed.
His room was really spacious, even with all the junk constantly laying around. The wall were painted in dark purple with various paintings and colourful designs on them. The room was modestly furnished; a bed for two (not that he was thinking about sleeping with anyone, he just liked to be comfy in his sleep), big wardrobe, a desk with computer and a bookshelf filled with books covering different fields of science and some casual ones, that he liked to read in his free free time. On the floor was laying a fluffy, white carpet, that Izuku loved stepping barefoot on. In various places throughout his room were scattered various designs for numerous inventions, in all shapes and sizes.
"The school will start in two weeks. I need to get to work", he thought to himself and went straight to their gym.
Thanks for the reviews and your time ;D
And no, he won't become a full out robot (looking at you Nate) ;)
Cause someone will stop him from doing that, but who?! Dum dum dum
