Walking into class Delta dropped into his chair before everyone else arrived, first was Koda who Delta just waved hello before he took his seat, next was Jiro, she gave Delta a quick glare still mad from earlier. Right on time as usual was Lida, soon around the time he arrived everyone else did as well, some of them hardly looked at the clone that sat in their homeroom.
The bell hasn't rung for the first class yet Aizawa came in right before it did, but no one did anything, they all just kept staring forward, "ALRIGHT! let me hear it, what do all of you wanna say to me?" Delta broke the silence. He knew why the class room and everyone was so quiet, it was because of what happened yesterday, "why did you tell him?" Uraraka asked out loud turning her body to look at Delta, "he could've killed them," Lida spoke out, "he can't just take the law into his own hands," Momo expressed disapprovingly.
Delta got from his seat and stood in front of the whole class, "first off, Uraraka, he was gonna get something out Mr. Shota one way or another, he might as well ripped his fingers one-by-one, so I think I saved his ass," he turns over to Aizawa, "you're welcome." "Second, Lida, no one died," Delta pointed out, "yeah, but he could've," Jiro restated, "yeah, but didn't, and if he did they wouldn't be the first," Delta shot back. He then turns to Momo, "and to you Ms. Zillionaire, what'd you mean he can't take the law into his own hands? what the fuck are you guys doing?" he asked, and then Mineta rose his hand, "... Taking the law into own hands," he bluntly answered.
"Thank you Minoru, answering that question," Delta spoke up, "that's different," Aizawa protested, "what's the difference? you just got licenses which is basically a "do whatever you want and get away with it" card, it's just a piece of plastic," Delta exclaimed. That statment hit a nerve for some of the students, "you take that back!" Krishima roared, "make me," Delta remarked, "Delta, being a super hero is one of the biggest dreams to be on this planet, that license shows how hard we've come to accomplish, to make that dream a reality, it's everything to me," Midoriya voiced his opinion strongly.
Delta looked at him stright into his eyes kniwing how true his words are, he told him that he want to be like All Might even though he didn't have any powers, "... Sorry, kid, but I think this world already has enough super heroes," Delta broke it to him. Midoriya froze from his words, and so did everyone else, "where do you think you're going?" Aizawa demanded seeing Delta opening the door. He tried to catch him with his cloth, but Delta caught it and yanked Aizawa forward making him fall to the floor, "I'm leaving, it's obvious that I'm not welcomed here," he said and left.
Kicking the door to the roof open Delta just wanted to be alone, for some reason this world gets on his nerves on how it views vigilantism feeling like the Good Samaritan is dead, it's just people watching idly by as a crime is happening. He walked over to a part of the railing where large concrete block sat on the ground right up against the rail of the roof.
He dropped down laying his back on the block, "what the fuck am I doing here?" he asked himself, he reached into his sack where he stored his jacket, he reached into the inside pocket of pulling out a stash he didn't tell anyone about knowing he'll get in trouble with it. However before he can retrieve the item Delta heard the door he came through slam open, he head the sound of shoes tapping on the floor, and head his way, was it one of his classmate he thought. Delta stayed absolutely still waiting for someone to peek over the block, but suddenly the foot steps stepped on top of the block, what was this person planning to do? Delta heard the person breathing and he could tell it's a girl, he slowly turned around, and looked up.
There stood looking right over the edge is a student of the school, her hair was long and dark, it streched down covering her back, her skin was pale as a ghost, and Delta saw that her eyes were a scarlet red color, but she doesn't seem to notice Delta who was sitting down right below her. Delta saw how she gazed down to ground where the front entrance might be and saw her feet slowly shifting forward towards the edge, "don't do it," he calmly said. The girl immediately turned her head towards him and was completely surprise she didn't see him the first place, "don't do it," Delta repeated, "what? how?- did you follow me up here?" she accused him.
Delta chuckled at first, "girl please, I was here first," Delta remarked, "what's that you're reaching in your bag?" the girl asked pointimg the hand Delta still had in the bag, "uh... Nothing," Delta hesitated, but the girl wasn't buying it, "alright," Delta submitted. He slowly pulled his hand out holding the item he was planning to use, "is that a flask?" the girl blurted out, "yeah," Delta bluntly answered, "you're drinking on school property," she told him trying to scold him, "pfft, says the girl who's about to jump off the roof to kill herself," Delta argued.
The girl stammered trying to deflect Delta's claim, "don't try to bullshit your way out, I know a jumper when I see one," Delta told her, "... That's right I'm gonna jump, I'm gonna jump off this roof," she admittedly declared. Delta slowly got up to his feet with his up so she can see them, "hey now, let's talk about this," Delta said trying to talk to the girl, "there's nothing to talk about," she rejected, "at least tell me why you're jumping? at least tell me that," Delta asked of her trying to keep her calm.
She fidgetly glance back to him hesitant at first, "why do you want to know? why do you care? not like you'll understand," she shot back, "I don't understand? I can see in your eyes, because I do understand," Delta said otherwise. "How can you understand?" she demanded, "really?" Delta said sarcastically, he reached into his bag once and pulled out the one possession from the war, " this is a Smith & Wesson Model 15. And here's the round," Delta showed her. He put the .38 round into the cylinder and spun it, he then pointed the barrel to his temple, "WAIT!"- *click*. The girl cried trying to stop Delta, but there was no need, the gun didn't go off, and Delta didn't even flinch, like he just didn't care, "weren't you afraid?" she asked, but shook his head, "I'm not afraid to die... I'm afraid to live," Delta answered her.
"I have no home, no family, I just pissed off my only friends I had just right now, that's why I'm on this roof," Delta admitted to her, "the only thing I have is my purpose and I don't even want it," he added, "but where are my manners, name's Delta," he introduced holding his hand out, "... Onaji," she introduced herself shaking Delta's hand, "that' an interesting name," Delta complimented, "mind telling me why you're planning on jumping?" Delta asked again. Onaji was deep in thought on how she should tell her story, but right at that moment Midoriya was coming up the steps planning to Delta he's wrong, but when he showed up all he saw was Delta standing next to female student who's standing over the edge.
He was going to say something, but spotted him, and made a gesture to tell him to get back, Midoriya ducked back down the steps before Onaji could notice him.
Running back down as fast as he could Midoriya slammed the door to his homeroom class catching everyone by surprise, "someone's trying to jump off the school roof!" Midoriya shouted shocking everyone, "WHAT!" Aizawa shouted.
"It all started when I got my quirk," Onajj started, "I everytime I use it I screw up everything, they said me getting a quirk was a mistake from god. I entered into the academy thinking I can prove everybody wrong even my parents, but nothings changed. I haven't improve one bit," she explained. Tears started to from on her eyes and soon started, "they keep calling me useless or a labilty," she added, "why? what's your quirk?" Delta asked, "Telekinetic *sob* I can move things with my mind," she told him.
That was a surprise for Delta, "huh, small world," he commented, "what? what's that suppose to mean?" Onaji asked not knowing what he meant, "it means I have the same shit you have, I'm Telekinetic too," Delta told her. However Onaji wasn't buying it, "O.K I can tell you don't believe me, but watch this," Delta holds his flasks over the railing and just lets go. They watched the container fall straight down, but sudenly the flask comes flying back up before it could pass the first floor, and soon found its back in Delta's hand, "see," Delta showed her, "DELTA!" they turned to the exit where someone shouted in anger, and to find Aizawa and All Might standing before them seeing the flask in Delta's hand, "... It's exactly what it looks like," he admitted.
"You have alcohol on school grounds," Aizawa said out loud, "that and this gun," Delta added waving the Model 15 in the other hand, "what are doing?!" Mina shouted from behind the teachers, Delta can see that most of his classmates has come to see if it was true that someone was jumping. "I'm trying to talk some out of killing themselves, can we have a moment of peace please," Delta asked politely, until he felt his shirt being tugged, "what are you doing?" Onaji asked, "hey if they drag you down from here, I doubt you'll like being put though several programs," Delta voiced his reason.
"Not gonna happen, Ms. O just step do-," Aizawa was interrupt when All Might placed his arm out to stop him, "Alright Delta, I trust that you know what you're doing," he said surprising everyone. Delta gave him a thumbs up, "I got it," he said. All Might motioned everyone to go back, but stayed behind the closed door to make sure, "so where was I?" Delta asked, "something about us having the same quirk, but you said you pissed off your friends, was that them?" Onaji reminded. "Yeah I did, I said to them that a hero license is just a piece of plastic and that the world already has enough heroes," Onaji was taken by his choice off words, "why would you say something like?" she asked.
Delta looked over the railing, "because, this world rubs off on me the wrong way, heroes, super powers are everywhere, to me it I'm just sick'n tired of it all," Delta said, "how can you get sick of super heroes, it's one of the greatest professions in the world," Onaji questioned, "you don't get it, I've seen other places with super powers, but there finding and having powers is like... It's like gold," Delta put it. Onaji didn't follow so Delta explained further, "when you find it the feeling is indescribable it's awesome, but here... It's like sand, it's everywhere, sure it's fun at first playing with it, but sand's worth nothing," Delta said.
Onaji can see what he means, It's like having the same holiday ever so often, it'll eventually becomes repetitive, annoying, lose its charm, "but why are you helping me? why not let the heroes do it?" Onaji wonder, "because I'm right here, I could stop it, I could do something, even without powers," Delta told enthusiastically. This confused her "But why?" she asked one more time, "because Albert Einstein once said: the world will not be destoryed by those who do evil, but by those who watched them without doing anything," he told her, "that's why he hates you two," Delta shouted towards the door loud enough for Aizawa and All Might to hear.
"Out of all the assholes that were at that meeting he hates you two the most, to him you're destroying the world," Delta told them, "you said something about you only had your purpose left, what do you mean by that?" Onaji asked becoming invested in Delta's stoy, "well, you see I'm not like eveybody else here, I wasn't born with a quirk you call it," Onaji wasn't sure she heard him right, did he say he's quirkless? "I was created. I'm this genetically modified human clone from another dimension," he explained and Onaji was completely surprised, "so that's what you meant, your life was already laid out for you, but you wanted to forge your own destiny," Onaji simplified.
Hearing that actually impressed Delta, he was speechless, "yeah... That's pretty much it," Delta commented, "how's that going?" she asked thinking he made it somehow, "not well, the gun and flask should be pretty self explanatory," Delta said, "In the end I feel like I can't escape who I am," Delta admitted laying his back the railing and Onaji felt pitty for him, "and what's that?" she asked kindly, "... A killer,"- "you're not just a killer, Delta."
Delta looked up towards the door and saw every front and center, "you're wrong Delta, I believe you can change your destiny," All Might said to him, "yeah even though you have a different opinion on how heroes work here, you're still our friend," Midoriya said, "if it wasn't for you finding that weird blob when we all first met, who know what couldn've happened to Tsu-chan," Hagakure reminded. Everyone started voicing their time with Delta which gave him hope, "I can't believe I made such an impression on you guys, and here I though I bugged the shit out you," Delta said, "you do," Jiro confirmed bluntly, "but we wouldn't have it any other way with ya," Sero commented.
"Well that gave me a whole new reason to keep trying," Delta figured, then turned to Onaji, "what'd ya say Onaji, wanna keep trying? I could help you with your quirk," Delta offered holding his hand up. Onaji looked to hand having a whole veiw of the world now and so she took his hand, "I would love that," she said stepping away from the edge. Everyone was now relieved to see that the situation was defused and so everyone head back down the stairs, "hey Delta, where did you get the gun?" Denki asked and everyone want to know too, Delta was silent for a moment before saying, "you guys, ever struck a tiger across the face with a tire iron before? let me tell ya something 'bout Nam," said Delta, thinking, what the hell.
Somewhere else, back in the reality where Caleb's father's grave lied Caleb decided to revist his father one last time, the sun was setting, the sky was changing from blue to orange, all that could be heard from the ruined city was the sound of birds, and the crashing waves. Caleb stood over his father's resting place, holding his pocket watch in his hand, "here dad, this can make you sleep easier like it did for me," he said before placing the watch down, "I don't need it anymore, goodbye dad, I'm gonna miss you *sob*," Caleb left back home, leaving his dad to rest in peace.
