"Drive us off a cliff"? That's funny coming from you.

'Would you mind explaining that statement?'

You will never get it! You think telling me I screwed up will make things magically better?! News flash! Everything went to shit a long time ago!"

'You just keep making it worse.'

And how exactly do I fix it?!

'Run. Keep moving. Leave UA and establish yourself elsewhere. The villain life wouldn't be hard for you, in fact, it might be easy.'

Are you kidding me? Do you even remember the promise we made to Asahi?

'You said it yourself, you were stupid and naive. You were a lot younger when you made that promise, surely Asahi would understand if you broke it.'

Don't you dare use his name like that.

'Calm down. You still need to realize that Asahi was protecting you from the inevitable.'

"Inevitable"?

'You will become aware of what I mean eventually.'

I hate you! Can't you just give me some good answers?

'You must understand I mean you no real harm. Protecting you is my job, Asuga.'

Good luck with that, you are never taking control of me, not again.

'Asuga, you fail to understand. I already have.'

"Uggghhhh!" I got up from my bed and headed to the bathroom. I flipped on the light, not even caring about how my eyes were burning from the sudden light. I looked at my reflection, staring at its eyes.

The purple I was familiar with was gone, replaced by a deep green. It was the same green that dominated my hair. I looked at the edges of that same hair and the mint green that was there. It was visibly less than before. The mint color probably traveled to about six centimeters up instead of the usual eight. By morning, it would probably go back. Probably. It was odd, but for some reason that other conscious I had impacted my hair color and my eye color. The more control it had, the negative emotions I had, or something like that, the darker my hair got. And whenever I had conversations with it, my eyes would go to that same dark green.

I looked back up at my eyes. The dark green was now gone, leaving my purple irises in their original place. The other consciousness only talks, at most, twice a day. Once in the morning or afternoon, and again at night. I can't usually initiate a conversation on my own, but I can sense if it is lingering around my head. If I can't sense it, one look at my eye color will tell the truth. It likes to talk to me when I feel most vulnerable or negative. And I hate it.

I checked the locked on my door and then on the window, just to make sure no one could get in. Then, I checked them both again. Once more, I checked them. "Ugh, I'm going crazy." I rubbed my face out of exhaustion.

I flopped into my bed and laid there, unable to sleep in all the darkness. I quickly got myself back up, checked the locks again, made sure my curtains were drawn, turned on my desk lamp, and laid back down. With the reassurance of light, it didn't take too long after that for me to fall asleep.

Knock Knock

A muffled voice came from behind my door. "Kid, wake up."

"Already did."

"Good," Aizawa said. "Put this on and meet me outside."

I groaned and got up to go see what exactly "this" was. I opened up my door to see a gray, small briefcase on the ground. I didn't even have to open it to know what is was. After the test I took to get into UA, they asked me to fill out a few forms. One of which is how I would like to have my hero costume look. They had me fill them out so early since, if I did pass the practical exam, I would be starting classes immediately.

I opened the case and pulled everything out, including the instructions. After reading those, I put it on. I went into the bathroom to see how it looked. I hadn't given a specific color and just put down that I wanted it to be either a mint green or purple. Apparently, they chose purple as the base color.

I had on a hidden, magnet-clasp, dark purple vest on. The clasp ran down the whole vest as a strip and had a designer look with the clasp a little farther to the right rather than in the middle. Below that was a belt containing first-aid equipment and survival equipment I would need at the ready.

I also wore a skirt. Well, if you could call it that. It looked like a skirt at first but was actually a little less than two dozen long and wide strips of fabric that went down to my knees—which were attached to my belt.

On my feet were a pair of high heel boots that started just below my knee and curved up a bit over my knee as a guard for them. I admit, they were pretty cumbersome to walk in, but they served a special purpose. The heel was actually comprised of two parts. The topmost being connected to the boot and the bottom being the one that hit the ground. What makes it so special is that they are connected by a special spring and cushion device that will lessen the blow on the heel from tall heights. A similar design was on the ball of my foot, but it wasn't as complex. If you don't want to break your legs from a long fall, keeping your heels from taking the whole impact is step one. The whole purpose of my boots was to keep my "fall damage"—as Shiagaraki would say—to a minimum; everything in them was designed to absorb shock.

My sleeves weren't attached to the vest and instead were more like extensions of the glove and began between my elbow and shoulder. They were streamlined and quite slippery. The gloves themselves were gripped on my palm and underneath my fingers while the top had extra "padding" on my knuckles (we all know it's not going to make the impact softer for them). There was also a mix of padding and grip on the bottom-most part of my palm just in case I might want to strike someone in the face and not break my hand. My elbows also were padded just in case too.

On my right eye was a specially designed scope. Since I couldn't use my quirk to Switch to an area on a screen, I had to use a scope. I little twist at the base of the scope could make the terrain zoom in or out. If I needed a more intense change, there were other slides I could flip in and out to gain my desired distance. Think of it kind of like a microscope. There was also a handheld scope I could use in my belt, in case the one on my eye broke. The base for the scope cuffed my ear and wrapped around the other side of my head but you wouldn't see it unless you knew it was there or really tried to find it.

My favorite part was what brought the whole costume together. The cape! It was a bit lighter in its color and actually was light in weight, too, surprisingly. It came down to my mid-calf and made me look really fancy. Edna from The Incredibles would not approve.

After doing my hair up into a ponytail—which is a bit hard to do with bangs—I gave myself another once-over. If things worked out, this outfit would eventually be more than just a costume.

I then began making my way downstairs. I opened up my door and began walking to the elevator until I dropped to the ground. I should say I tripped and fell, but that doesn't do justice to the embarrassment I had even in the empty hallway.

I picked myself up, sighed, and began walking—tentatively—again. "Looks like I'll need some practice with these heels."

This costume took so much time and effort to design! This is my final version based on the Asuga we have now, but changes may be made later in the story. If there's anything confusing or you think is missing, please let me know! Also, for you artists out there, if you want to make some fan art based on what I've described, please do! Not a requirement at all, but I want to see what you guys think of what this design and Asuga look like in your head! The base color for this costume was an eggplant (eww I hate that word) purple with hints of black and white that were too trivial to mention.

I realized that some of these post-chapter comments may be annoying to some of you so I'm trying to keep them to a minimum, but I have a special announcement:

WE HAVE HIT OVER 10K VIEWS! OMG! I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS CELEBRATING JUST 500! *Ahem* Yes, I greatly appreciate all of you! And I want you to know that I read all of your comments! Even if I haven't replied to them, I assure you I have read them, so keep them up!

Peace!
