Hey, guys! Welcome to my first-ever OC Underdog and My Hero Academia Story, 'The Underdog of My Hero Academia!'. I hope that you guys will enjoy the new story...anyway, I don't own anything, except for my OCs, as the OC Ichigo Kamado belongs entirely to 9655.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
Ladies and gentlemen,
This is Simon Bar Sinister,
The wickedest man in the world
He was evil and crazy...well, more than most villains, at the very least
Future Barry Unger narrated as we see Simon Bar Sinister flying around in the skies of Japan on his giant hostile metal base, and the Quirkless Evil Scientist was handling a giant laser contraption designed to steal and mimic the DNA of people's quirks as Simon laughed evilly and continued zapping at every single person that he sees.
Simon and his
Wacky Henchman, Cad,
Schemed to rule the world
After stealing the DNA of the Civilian's Quirks, a grinning Simon can be seen sitting in front of his computer, and he was typing in a special sequence to help him create a formula that will enable him to concentrate all of the stolen Quirks into a special type of liquid that, when injected into the Human Body, it will give him all of the Quirks' Abilities with no immediate ill consequences as his wacky henchman Cad can be seen standing behind him and was cheering him on as he clapped his hands together.
But each time
They were foiled by me,
One of the greatest superhero
Whoever lived...
Underdog!
But just before the Evil Quirkless Scientist can finish with his Quirk Formula, a massive explosion rang out that alarmed Simon and Cad as they whirled around and were stunned to see a glaring grown-up Underdog floating into Simon's Evil Spacecraft with his arms crossed and his eyes glowing pure yellow/red as Barry then zoomed over to deliver a mighty punch across a grunting Simon's face.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves here for a bit,
Every good Superhero Origin always starts at the beginning
But, before we begin, let me ask you all a question
How should the Origin of a Hero plan out?
Well, some heroes are born for greatness, like my wife Pony Tsunotori
Some heroes are given their destiny by someone else, like my friend Izuku Midoriya
But a few are made to be heroes, just like me
Future Barry Unger narrated solemnly as we cue to America, specifically Capital City, and we see an 8-year-old homeless boy residing inside of an abandoned building late at night while shivering vigorously by the night cold as a small bonfire was placed in front of him and the homeless kid struggled to regain some warmth as he was eating from a slightly expired half-filled can of beans.
The homeless child is a 4-feet-tall, 8-year-old Boy with blue eyes, shaggy and wild brown hair, thin brown eyebrows, a small nose, Caucasian Skin, a slim build, and his outfit consists of a dark brown beanie, a dark green scarf wrapped around his neck, a long-sleeved brown ripped thin jacket with a short-sleeved dark green shirt underneath that was covered with dirt and grime, fingerless brown gloves, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long tattered brown pants, and old-looking black shoes. His name is Barry Feld, a Quirkless Orphan Homeless Child.
You see that Kid over there wearing rags and smells like he hasn't showered in years? Yep, that's me
I know what you are all thinking, how did one of the greatest Superheroes on the whole planet could've possibly been a homeless nobody?
Well, you see when my Parents gave birth to me, they were too young to be proper Parents, so they handed me over to an orphanage
And just like depicted in movies, being an Orphan sucks ass.
I was constantly ignored by potential new Parents and bullied by the other orphans due to being Quirkless
I couldn't take the abuse anymore, so when I was eight years old, I decided that I have had enough of it and ran away from the orphanage
While it was brave of me to go out into the city all alone, it was pretty stupid of me to go without a plan or even proper supplies
Hell, I should've brought a blanket at the very least
A shivering Barry rubbed his hands together as he held them out in front of the fireplace, trying in vain to get some warmth as he had finished eating his can of beans, but the brown-haired boy was still feeling hungry since he hasn't eaten anything in days as, unknown to them, a mysterious figure can be seen walking up to the homeless child from behind.
It was a hard couple of months for me, to be honest. I quickly find out that living out in the streets is way worse than living in an orphanage
I have to sleep with one eye open to make sure that no one would sneak up on me and either try to kill or rob me
Suffered through multiple nights sleeping in the cold with hardly any shelter, constantly hungry, and I always have to make sure to not be beaten up by other homeless people or beat up by gang members
You guys are probably asking why Pro Heroes haven't stopped this massive crime wave in the city, right? Well, the thing is that Capital City isn't exactly the most famous town around
While the line of Heroes isn't as grand as those from Japan, we have our fair share of famous heroes around
But even then, the government doesn't see the reason to send out any Pro Heroes to try and help us, so it means that the Police Force has to fend for themselves in these streets
It honestly makes me sad and sympathetic to see my city in this horrible state, and there were multiple times when I wish that I can intervene
Hell, I even always dreamed of becoming a Superhero like All Might and such, but with my kind of life, I've learned to be a bit more realistic
I mean, honestly, what could I do? Even if I wasn't homeless and such, I'm Quirkless. With no Superpowers, there was no hope for me to become a Hero. At best, I could try to become a Police Officer, but with no proper education, that dream was killed too
Ah, sometimes, it's hard to feel destined for greatness when your life is down in the gutter, but destiny's a funny thing. It'll creep up on you when you least expect it.
"Gotcha!" The Mysterious Man screamed while latching onto a surprised Barry as he placed his gloved hands over his mouth to prevent him from screaming and a panicking Barry tried to struggle and escape from his kidnapper, only to be easily overpowered by him as the Man lifted Barry up into the air and dragged him out of the abandoned building as he reached an alleyway from where a black van can be seen parked in front of him.
The Mysterious Man is a 6'2-feet-tall, 40-year-old Man with brown eyes, slickback short white hair, thin black eyebrows, a big pointy nose, a sharp chin, Caucasian Skin, a tall and muscular build, and he was currently wearing a black ski mask, a long-sleeved leather black jacket with a short-sleeved black shirt underneath, long black jeans, and black shoes. His Quirk is called Stone, his Quirk enables him to cover his whole body completely in stone as his weakness is that he's not very fast in this state and loses his intelligence every time he assumes this form. His name is Cad Lackey, Dr. Simon Bar Sinister's Lab Assistant and Minion.
"Last one for tonight," Cad says to himself with a smile while opening the back of the van with his free hand to reveal a bunch of unconscious kidnapped children inside as Cad proceeds to tie up a struggling and wailing Barry with some rope and tied up the 8-year-old boy's mouth with a white cloth to prevent him from making too much noise and drawing unwanted attention as Simon Bar Sinister's Henchmen then casually tossed a grunting Barry inside with the other Kids before making his way over to the front of the van as he got into the driver's seat and drove off, not knowing that another Mysterious Figure saw what happened and narrowed his eyes as he started jumping between buildings to follow after the van.
~{The Underdog of My Hero Academia Season 1 Theme Song}~
When criminals in this world appear,
And break the laws that they should fear
And frighten all who see or hear
Simon Bar Sinister laughed evilly as he can be seen terrorizing the city with his latest scientific contraption, which was a giant black mechanical spider-like machine, as he walked across the city and the evil genius used his machine to start breaking apart various buildings, injuring a lot of Pro Heroes and caused mass mayhem as all of the scared and nervous Civilians turned around to run away as Simon grinned widely at the chaos that he had brought.
The cry goes up both far and near
For Underdog! (Underdog!)
Underdog! (Underdog!)
However, in the middle of his path of destruction, Simon couldn't help but raise a confused eyebrow as everyone began shouting 'Underdog!' repeatedly, and, suddenly, a big sonic boom shockwave rang out as a shocked Simon glanced up and spotted a glaring Underdog flying straight down towards him, going so fast that he resembled a large red/blue blur as the Evil Scientist slowly comes to the realization that his mortal foe wasn't slowing down at all and lets out a loud frightened scream as a brave Underdog collided head first into his machine and a massive explosion rang out as, once it died down, the Civilians began cheering loudly at the sight of a smiling Underdog floating in mid-air, unhurt by the explosion as he was holding a pissed-off Simon by the back of his lab coat.
When in this world, the headlines read
Of those whose hearts are filled with greed
Who rob and steal from those who need
To right this wrong with blinding speed goes
Underdog! (Underdog!) Underdog! (Underdog!)
A happy Civilian can be seen reading from a newspaper and finding out about the massive crimewave across the city, which was caused by a gang with their Mob Boss 'Riff Raff' being the source of the crimewave as the Civilian shakes his head in disappointment and dismay, but as he lowered his newspaper, he was shocked to see a grinning Riff Raff standing in front of him menacingly with the Civilian now shaking in fear as the Mob Boss with a Wolf-like Quirk reached out to grab him and dragged him into a nearby alleyway as Riff Raff lifted him up into the air with his superhuman strength, and Riff Raff started threatening him with violence if the scared and crying Civilian doesn't hand over the money that he owes him and his gang.
Walking near them, Barry Unger suddenly halted in his tracks as his Superhuman Hearing caught the sounds of the Civilian crying out for help and he frowned seriously as the brown-haired boy took off his glasses and turned over to address his Best Friends (Pony Tsunotori, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, and Reiko Yanagi) as the Vigilante told them what was going on and warned them to stay put for a bit as he then ran over to a nearby Telephone Booth and secretly wondered why they still have these as Barry closed the door behind him and, immediately, a big red/yellow explosion occurred that blew up the Telephone Booth into a billion pieces as, when the white smoke died down, we see a grinning Barry Unger standing in place while dressed in his Underdog Suppersuit as he flexed his muscles a bit.
Not wasting any time, a determined Underdog then took off into the air at high speeds with his pupils changing into lightning symbols as he zoomed over to appear in the alleyway and spotted Riff Raff roughing up the Civilian for some cash as Barry narrowed his eyes and zipped towards him as the Mob Boss was able to hear him coming in and whirled around to face him as he was surprised by the sight of Underdog and his face pale with fear as Barry collided against him and gave him a wicked uppercut up his muzzle that sends him flying up into the air as Riff Raff ended up crashing through the roof of a building and conveniently landed in a jail cell as Underdog nodded at this in satisfaction and dusted off his hands as he then whirled around to fly back towards his friends so that they can continue making their way towards UA High School.
Speed of lightning, roar of thunder
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog! (Underdog!)
Class-1B can be seen in the middle of training in the USJ with Class-1A that were all led by Eraserhead, Vlad King, and Thirteen as Underdog was interacting with Pony, Izuku, and Ichigo cheerfully, but then everyone flinched in surprise as a dark purple portal appeared, and the League of Villains can be seen walking through it as they glared at the group menacingly and the Students of UA flinched in fear while the Teachers of UA got ready for battle as an excited Underdog perked up and glared in fierce determination as he flew ahead with Shigiraki commanding Nomu to attack the Vigilante as he shrieked loudly and charged forward as both Underdog and Nomu raised their arms as they delivered dual powerful punches at each other and the collision of their fists caused a huge shockwave to rang out that broke apart the ground as it blew everyone back.
There's no need to fear!
Underdog is here!
Floating above the UA High School with the sun rising in the background, a glaring Underdog floated in mid-air with his blue cape flowing in the wind as the Teachers and Students of UA can be seen standing below him on the roof of the building as they all glanced down and spotted the League of Villains, Simon Bar Sinister and his Henchmen Cad, Riff Raff and his Gang, a floating Topdog, Tap Tap the Chiseler, Slippery Eel, etc. standing below as all of the Heroes glared seriously, and everyone dropped down from the roof of the UA Building with a smiling Underdog flying ahead of them with his clenched fist outstretched as the title of the story appeared above them.
~{The Underdog of My Hero Academia Season 1 Theme Song Over!}~
An hour later, we see a still tied-up nervous and scared Barry being shoved inside a large cage in an underground white/blue lab filled with all kinds of technological equipment and chemicals as there was also a small room that held a bunch of cages filled with crying and frightened children as Cad seemingly ignored this and waved at the children goodbye as he walked away and closed the door behind him as, unknown to everyone, the Mysterious Figure from before can be seen spying on Barry through the ventilation system and bit his lip worriedly as he clenched his fists.
"Hey!" Barry screamed angrily while being able to bite into the cloth surrounding his mouth and ripped it off his person as he spits it away and waddled over to the front of the cage as the homeless child looked around fearfully. "What the heck is going on here?! Why did you kidnap us?! Release us right now!" Barry demanded nervously while banging his fists against the cage doors in a vain attempt to open them, but to no avail, as he growled and the brown-haired boy was about to come up with a plan to free himself, but then-
"Ah, I would save your breath if I was you, dude. They won't ever release us, no matter how many times you cry, scream, and beg. Trust me, I would know." A female voice rang out as Barry turned his head and blushed a bit in shock as he spotted a naked girl that seems to be two years older than him residing inside of the cage placed behind him as, thankfully, her long blonde hair covered her whole naked body, making her resemble like that hairy monster guy from that movie with the spaceships and lightsabers.
The Mysterious Girl is a 4'6-feet-tall, 10-year-old Girl with black eyes, extremely long shaggy and bushy blonde hair that covered her body completely except for her face/arms/legs, pointy ears, a small nose, a sharp chin, Pale Caucasian Skin, a slim build, and wore no clothes. Her Quirk is called Hairdo, her Quirk allows her to grow out her hair and manipulate it however she wants as the weakness to her superpower is that it can take a while for her hair to regenerate in case it gets cut off, burned off, melted, etc. Her real name is unknown, but she likes to go by Isa.
"Wait, what? Why? What's happening? Who are these guys?" Barry asked curiously yet anxiously as Isa shrugged and leaned back against her cage casually as she crossed her arms.
"Well, you see, kid, we're all trapped inside of an underground lab in a building named 'Trans Genetic Industries' AKA TGI...you know what that place is, right?" Isa asked with a raised eyebrow as Barry nodded. "Well, this place has a scientist named Simon Bar Sinister, who build this secret lair of his to do his evil and sick experiments. By day, everything is more or less okay as we get fed and junk, but by night once everyone's left, that's when the freaky stuff happens." Isa warned as Barry flinched and bit his lip nervously as he gave her a worried look.
"What kind of freaky stuff? Like, what did they do to your hair?"
"Wha-No! This is just how my Quirk makes it look! What's wrong with my hair?!" A heavily embarrassed and self-conscious Isa screamed while hugging herself as she glared at him.
"N-Nothing. Nothing at all." A bashful Barry says with an embarrassed blush as he looked away and coughs a bit. "A-Anyway, you were saying about the freaky stuff," Barry says, changing the subject as Isa calmed down and sighs heavily.
"All I'm saying is when you see a guy in the white lab coat pull out the giant needle, run like hell!" Isa screamed, startling Barry as he bit his lip nervously. Meanwhile, outside of the building, we see a woman whistling to herself as she made her way inside TGI and opened the door as she went over to talk with the Security Guard standing behind the desk.
The Woman is a 5'8-feet-tall, 35-year-old Female with black eyes, long dark brown hair pulled up into a high ponytail, thin dark brown eyebrows, a small nose, a sharp chin, D-Cup Breasts, Caucasian Skin, a slim yet muscularly toned build, and she was currently wearing her work uniform, which consisted of her wearing a dark blue cap, a long-sleeved dark blue opened jacket with her Security Badge placed on her left breast pocket and had the TGI Logo on her right breast, a short-sleeved light gray high-collard shirt underneath, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long dark blue pants, and black boots. Her Quirk is called Lightspot, this Quirk enables her to be able to project dual beams of pure white light from out of her eyes/mouth/hands/feet as her weakness is that her power is not unlimited, and it can run out and leave her tired for 2 hours before she is fully recharged. Her name is Danielle Unger, the Former Chief of Police of Capital City, and she is currently the Security Guard for Trans Genetic Industries.
"Hey, Newbie. Welcome to the graveyard." The Security Guard says with a playful chuckle as Danielle smiled amusedly and shrugged as she made her way over to clock her shift in.
"Yeah, nice and quiet, just like I like it," Dannielle says before noticing a man walking into the building as she frowned seriously and walked over to him. The Man is a 4-feet-tall, 42-year-old Man with black eyes, slickback black hair, thin black eyebrows, a large pointy nose, a sharp chin, Tan Skin, a short build, and he was currently wearing a long-sleeved black business jacket with a high-collard long-sleeved white shirt underneath, a black bow tie, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long black pants, and black shoes. His name is Simon Bar Sinister, a brilliant and famous Quirkless Scientist working for TGI who suffers from Dwarfism. "Uh, sir, excuse me. We're not open right now. There's no access to the labs."
"Oh, really?" Simon asked while glancing up at the Former Chief of Police with a fake surprise look on his face. "I'm sorry."
"That's all right. Don't worry about it." Danielle says with a reassuring smile while waving him off as Simon nodded and was about to leave, but then 'accidentally' dropped a badge on the ground as the Evil Scientist of TGI bends down to grab it.
"Oh, wait, look what I dropped here. What does this mean, miss? What does this say?" Simon asked with a condescending tone as he held up the badge, and Danielle bends down slightly to read it as she winced when it says, 'All Access Pass for Simon Bar Sinister.'
"...All Access Pass for...Simon Bar Sinister...sorry, Sir, I should've checked your badge first before saying anything. Rookie mistake." Danielle says apologetically as Simon glared up at her darkly before putting on a fake smile as he nodded.
"It's okay. You all make mistakes, but I forgive you. Because that's the kind of person I am...humble. A humble genius." Simon says with an arrogant tone as Dannielle's left eye twitches in irritation from his cocky demeanor but then shuts up as her Boss showed up in the room and it turned out to be no other than Cad Lackey as he was wearing a long-sleeved dark blue opened jacket with his Security Badge placed on his left breast pocket and had the TGI Logo on his right breast, a short-sleeved white high-collard shirt underneath with a black tie, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long dark blue pants, and black boots.
"It's okay, let him in, Miss Unger." Cad says with a glare as Danielle nodded.
"Right, and again I'm sorry, Dr. Barsinister." Danielle apologized to Simon, who didn't glance at her as he started walking forward.
"Oh, it's fine. How were you to know that I am the most important scientist this company has? You couldn't have." Simon says sarcastically while walking away with Cad as Danielle winced and facepalmed with a groan as her fellow Security Guard gave her a sympathetic look. "Who's the new hire?" Simon asked with a glare while he and Cad traveled down into the secret underground lair as they stepped forward, and, unknown to them, Barry and the other kids were able to listen to them due to their secret elevator being placed close to their room.
"Her? Oh, uh, her name is Danielle Unger. She used to be the Former police Chief. Don't know why she retired, though. I hired her a couple of days ago. I've been showing her the ropes and uh-,"
"Does this, Danielle Unger, has any useful Quirks for us to steal and work with?" Simon interrupted while taking off his black jacket as he puts on his white lab coat.
"Oh, not really no, all she can do is basically be a Human Flashlight, but I have to ask, boss, don't we usually focus on experimenting with Kids because it's much easier to kidnap and experiment on their Quirks?" Cad asked with a raised eyebrow as Simon shrugged.
"Hey, you never know when we strike gold, Cad," Simon says as he was originally planning on kidnapping the woman and doing cruel experiments on her for not recognizing who he is, but after hearing about her lame Quirk, Simon decided that the Security Guard wasn't worth the effort.
"Ah, understood. Anyway, I was thinking that maybe we should take it easy on the after-hours stuff. You know, Clandestine."
"Huh...a three-syllable word? I'm impressed." Simon says, both sincerely and mockingly, as a beaming Cad pulled out a dictionary book.
"Thanks, I bought a, uh, thesaurus." Cad says as Simon rolled his eyes a bit with a scoff.
"Good for you." Simon says dryly, not having the energy to correct him for mispronouncing the word 'thesaurus' as he puts on his gloves. "But even if she is an ex-cop, we don't have time to skulk about. Look." Simon says while pulling out a newspaper as he handed it over to Cad, who grabbed it as he read it.
"Police Chief planning to add more recruits this year to help lighten the Crime Wave in Capital City." Cad read as he raised an eyebrow. "Really? I mean, I admit that I don't know much about this stuff, but I don't think adding more Police Officers will help out with the Crime Wave."
"For once, Cad, you make a very good point. Good for you." Simon says, honestly impressed that his idiot henchman is, for once, making some sense as the Duo then walked over to open the door leading to the room of captured children, who immediately back away in fear and worry at the sight of them as Simon casually walked in to survey his unwilling test monkeys. "Recruiting more men to join the Police Force is not only a waste of time and money, but an ill-suited short-sighted plan. I bet that the Crime Wave won't even go down five percent." Simon says while slowly looking across all of the frightened and crying children as his eyes lie down on the newest kidnapped child, Barry Feld, and bends down to stare at him curiously.
"It's why I went to have a meeting with the Mayor to try and talk him into an even greater plan. Let's face it, Cad. Pro Heroes will NEVER show up to help out Capital City and, by how crime-ridden it is, we will need someone like All Might to help us out and I find it very unlikely we will get another All Might so soon, so I proposed a plan to take this city to new heights through genetic manipulation of Quirks and be able to potentially not only give Quirks to different people but make those Quirks be on par with All Might's Mysterious Quirk." Simon says while still staring at Barry, who had crawled back into his cage and stared at him in deep fear as he was unable to speak in front of this short yet intimidating man.
"Yeah? What did he say?"
"The fool...actually laughed at me," Simon says with a dark and angry glare as he was absolutely furious when the Mayor had to gall to laugh at him and says that it's impossible to create both Artificial Quirks and give them to other people.
"Oh, that happened to me once. I had my pants on inside out. Nobody told me for the entire-,"
"Stop talking now." An annoyed Simon says while turning away from Barry as he walked away.
"Oh, right. I'll be the silent partner."
"Just because you're the only one here, Cad, it does not make us partners," Simon says snidely while he and Cad walked out of the room and they closed the door behind them.
"Whoa! A real-life evil mad scientist!" Barry shouted with a worried yet excited tone as Isa, who was hiding in her hair in fright, popped out with her face pale in horror.
"Yeah, and he ain't even mad yet!" Isa yelled with a nervous gulp as, with Simon, we see him staring at the shelf filled with all kinds of beakers that held tons of blood and various chemicals inside of each of them and, after taking out a syringe filled with blood that came from one of the battles that All Might had with a random villain, Simon proceeds to inject it into one of the beakers on the shelf as he mixed it a bit, causing it to turn orange and create bubbles as he nodded in satisfaction.
"It's ready," Simon says while draining the liquid out of the beaker with his syringe as he turned to Cad, who had taken off his jacket to put on his white lab coat and gloves. "That new subject that you kidnapped tonight, does he have a Quirk?"
"Hmmm, not sure, but I have been studying him for the past few days, and he didn't seem to exhibit any kind of Superpowers. Hell, he didn't even use any kind of Quirk to try and fight me when I kidnapped him from his 'home', and I wasn't even in my stone form at the time." Cad explained as Simon nodded in understanding.
"Ah, he must be Quirkless then. Interesting, I have never done any experimentations with a kid that doesn't already have a Quirk. The results could be fascinating. Bring him in." Simon ordered as Cad nodded and turned around to walk out of the lab as he made his way into the room and opened the door as Cad walked over to Barry's cage.
"Your lucky day, kid," Cad says to Barry with a smile while opening the cage as he reached over to undo the Homeless Child's binds, and the minute the ropes fell onto the ground, Barry immediately tried to escape but wasn't able to move much due to how small the cage was as an amused Cad reached over to grab his arms.
"Let me go! Let me go! Please!" Barry pleaded while gritting his teeth a bit as he tried to kick his face but missed as Cad merely tilted his head and gripped his arms tighter as he dragged the wailing kid out of his cage and turned around to walk out of the room with Isa watching him go sadly as she lowered her head sympathetically and just hope that the experiments won't be too painful today as we see Cad making his way back into the lab and placed Barry down on a table as the poor child started shedding tears of fear and Simon spots this as he gave him an amused pout.
"Oh, don't worry, little fella. It will only hurt...a lot." Simon says while pulling out his syringe as Barry's eyes widened in shock and horror at how big it was as he tried to escape, but the brown-haired boy was held back by Cad as Simon Bar Sinister's Henchmen smiled over at his Boss.
"Alright, let's do it, partner," Cad says as Simon rolled his eyes but nodded as he slowly walked over to a trembling Barry while holding up his syringe menacingly as he was about to inject directly into Barry's heart but stopped as said boy bravely lifted up his leg and delivers a mighty kick across his face, causing him to stumble backwards in pain and shock as Cad winced. "Ooh, man, right in the nose! Did he break it, Doc?" Cad asked while letting go of Barry as he was about to go over and check on his boss, but stopped as a worried Simon turned to him.
"No! What are you doing, you idiot?! Don't let go of the Kid!" Simon screamed, but it was too late as Barry stood up from the table and a glaring Cad whirled around to face him as he activated his Quirk, and his whole body was covered in white stone as Cad then leaped over to try and catch him, but missed as Barry merely jumped over to land on a long stretched out computer console as Cad ended up smashing the table into pieces. "No, no, stop! Did I order you to activate your Quirk? Deactivate it right now!" A concerned and angry Simon shouted, not wanting him to accidentally destroy his lab, but it was too late as a less intelligent Cad grunted and stood up from the floor as he glared over at Barry.
"Uh oh," Barry says with a nervous gulp while turning around to run away just as a roaring Cad ran over to slam his fists down at the computer console, easily breaking it with his Superhuman Strength and causing sparks to rang out as the Henchman ignored this and ran over to try and smash Barry into pieces, but the homeless child was too fast for him and continued running away as Cad ended up breaking more and more of the computer console, causing him to accidentally activate the lab's security feature as the door was covered with a thick bulletproof steel door and a bunch of lasers popped out of the wall as it began firing multiple lasers into the room uncontrollably.
"BOY, COME HERE! COME TO CAD, OR CAD WILL SMASH YOU!"
"STOP IT, YOU MORON! YOU ARE DESTROYING MY FREAKING LAB!" A furious Simon yelled as Cad continued chasing Barry, who ran down to the end of the computer console as the Henchman bend down and jumped up to try and grab him but missed as the Mysterious Figure suddenly appeared on the scene and rushed over to grab a surprised Barry and launched him away with his super strength before disappearing from sight.
"WHOA!" Cad screamed in shock while crashing through the computer console as Barry ended up landing on top of the shelf containing the beakers filled with blood and chemicals as he glanced over at Cad, whose body was covered with electricity as he wasn't hurt by this, but it left him temporarily incapacitated as Barry laughed at this victoriously...but then flinched in worry when the shelf started tilting forward.
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" Simon exclaimed while reaching out his hands as a screaming Barry fall down into the ground with the shelf crashing on top of him as all of the beakers fell down and splashed against his body while shattering apart as well as a heavily injured Barry screamed in pain at feeling multiple glass shards stab through his body completely and was covered with blood/chemicals as well.
"MY RESEARCH!" Simon screamed with an aghast and dismayed expression on his face as a moaning and trembling Barry crawled out of the shelf and he slowly stood up from the floor as Simon and the Mysterious Figure couldn't help but stare in awe and shock as Barry's body briefly glowed with yellow/red energy and his skeleton was briefly seen as the brown-haired boy stood up to his full height and the glass shards penetrating his body were suddenly shot out as all of his injuries started healing at a fast pace. "The serum..." Simon says with a quiet tone as he stared wide-eyed at the sight of Barry walking forward with a dazed expression on his face as he glanced down at his arms and was shocked to see that his injuries were completely healed...although all of his clothes were still tattered and covered in blood and chemicals.
"W-What's happening to me?!"
"Cad! Get him! Don't let him leave this lab!" Simon ordered his Evil Henchman while pointing at Barry as a groaning Cad crawled out of the wreckage of the destroyed computer console and stumbled over to Barry, who flinched in fright as, without thinking, Barry rushed away at high speeds and made his way over to the bullet-proof steel door as he burst through it as if it was made of paper and crashed down into the ground as the brown-haired kid was confused and scared by this before remembering about his friend as Barry stumbled over to the door and grabbed it as he accidentally ripped it off of its hinges.
"Whoa?! What!?" A shocked Isa asked as she and the other kids perked up at the sight of a panting Barry, who looked like he was put through the wringer as, with speeds that none of them could follow, he zoomed over to open up all of their caged doors in a matter of seconds, freeing them as Barry appeared back by the door.
"Quick! Follow me! The lab is coming down!" Barry screamed sternly while turning around to run away as Isa beamed excitedly and turned to the others.
"You heard the man! Everyone out!" Isa screamed while crawling out of her cage as the others did the same, and, after grabbing the kids that were too tired or injured to walk, everyone made their way out of the lab while cheering loudly with the Mysterious Figure following after him once he blends with the crowd of children as Simon didn't have the energy to be angry that his test subjects were escaping due to him laughing loudly with tears of joy rolling down his face.
"I-It worked! My serum worked! I created an Artificial Quirk! I did it! I did it! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Simon screamed while laughing crazily as he then winced when small explosions started ranging out across his lab, and his burning monitor was detached from the ceiling as it crashed down onto him, and Simon screamed in pain.
"DOC!" Cad screamed while stumbling over to help out his boss as, elsewhere, we see all of the Kids riding up the secret elevator and screaming loudly as they ran through the lobby and made their way out of the building with a startled and shocked Danielle and the Security Guard watching them go in disbelief and confusion as they turned over to the secret elevator and was surprised to see fire emerging from it as the Duo ran over to check on it.
"Ha, ha, that was awesome, dude! You didn't tell me that you have a Quirk that gives you Super Strength!" An amazed Isa yelled while she and Barry ran into an alleyway as the rest of the kids ran off to make their way back to their respective homes.
"I-I didn't know I had one, admitedly." A stunned Barry says while glancing down at his hands as Isa grinned and shrugged as she punched his arm playfully.
"Well, late bloomer or not, you are cool in my book, kid. If you need my help, just look me up. The name's Isa. What's your name?"
"B-Barry Feld."
"Well, nice to meet you, Feld, and once again, thanks for the help. See ya around." Isa says with a wink and a cocky smirk while turning around to run away as Barry watched her silently before looking around as he decided to escape as well and made a beeline back to his 'home'. An hour later, we see Police Cars and Ambulances parked in front of the TGI Building as a glaring Danielle can be seen talking with the Police Chief, a few Police Officers, and a couple of Firemen.
"Okay, I'm pulling the security tapes and running a computer sweep of Dr. Bar Sinister's research, and I think that we need to set up a three-mile perimeter to look for Dr. Bar Sinister. Judging by the blood on the floor, he is injured and logically couldn't have gone far. We need to capture him and-,"
"Miss Unger, we'll handle it from here. When there's a crime, they call a Cop or a Pro. When someone wants to sign into the building, they call you." The Police Chief says snarkily while holding up his hand as the Police Officers and Firemen all laughed amusedly with Danielle shutting her mouth up to prevent her from cursing him out as she gave him a fake smile.
"That's why you're the chief...with a big filing cabinet marked '300 unsolved crimes' in just this year alone. Hmmm, strange. When I was Police Chief, we only had 10 unsolved crimes. I wonder what happened to increase the Crime Wave." Danielle says sarcastically while patting his shoulder condemningly as she walked away with everyone going 'Ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh' as the Police Chief's face flushed in embarrassment and frustration.
Yeah, that was some crazy ass night,
After Isa and I bid our goodbyes, I tried to go back to my old home
But I was still incredibly hungry, and when I found this small tent filled with all kinds of food, I decided to go over and eat some of that delicious-looking food
But I committed the most rookie ass mistake that any homeless person could make
I accidentally ate food that belong to another homeless person
And let me tell you, out here in the streets, these kinds of people are very territorial with their stuff...I should know...
"Mmmm, this is so good!" A beaming Barry says while eating out some bagels and donuts that were inside of a tent placed in an alleyway as, while they were a bit stale, they were still edible enough to eat, but just when Barry started filling up his empty stomach, a rough and angry voice rang out.
"Hey, you little boy, are you lost? Because I don't think this is your territory, brat." A female voice said as Barry flinched in fear and crawled out of the tent to see a teenage girl and two boys walking up to him.
One of the teenagers is a 5'4-feet-tall, 14-year-old Girl with dark brown eyes, long shaggy blonde hair that reaches past her shoulders, thick black eyebrows, a big nose, a sharp chin, two red/orange/white flame-like tattoos on each of her wrists, B-Cup Breasts, Pale Skin, a slender build, and her outfit consisted of a red bandana hat, piercing on her lip, a sleeveless white tank top with ripped edges, red fingerless gloves, a black belt with a golden belt buckle, long tattered red pants, and no shoes. Her Quirk is called Pyro, her Quirk allows her to project flames from out of her mouth and hands as her weakness is that prolonged use of her powers levels her exhausted and, of course, water and foam as well as lack of oxygen. Her name is Ella Star, a wannabe troubled teenage runaway, and she is in charge of her 'gang' the Flameheads.
The second teenager is a 5-feet-tall, 12-year-old African-American Boy with black eyes, a shaved head, thin black eyebrows, a small nose, a sharp chin, a large red orb planted on his chest with a red/orange/white flame-like tattoo planted around it, Light Brown Skin, a slim build, and his outfit consisted of an orange bandana hat, long black pants, and orange/black shoes. His Quirk is called Heartburn, his Quirk allows him to project out a beam of hot flames from out of his chest every time his heart beats, the faster it beats, the hotter his flames will be as his weakness is that he can only shoot out his flames from his chest and, if he's too calm, his Quirk won't work. His name is Joel Parks, Ella's Minion.
The third teenager is a 5'6-feet-all, 15-year-old Boy with pupilless red eyes, long spiky red hair, thin red eyebrows, a small nose, a sharp chin, a red/orange/white flame-like tattoo across his eyes, Caucasian Skin, a slim yet muscularly toned build, and his outfit consisted of a pair of black glasses, a long-sleeved black leather jacket with a short-sleeved red shirt underneath, long black jeans, and red shoes. His Quirk is called Flame Vision, his Quirk allows him to project streams of flames from out of his eyes as his weakness is that he needs to wear glasses constantly in order to not accidentally activate his Quirk, and prolonged use of his Superpower can leave him blind temporarily for a few hours. His name is Mark Lewis, Ella's Minion and Boyfriend.
"This territory belongs to the Flameheads. I'm their leader, Ella. These are my boys, Mark and Joel." Ella says while introducing herself and the others as she then narrowed her eyes at a trembling Barry angrily. "And we don't appreciate you stealing my stash."
"Yeah, we don't appreciate you stealing her stuff!" Joel screamed with a laugh as a terrified Barry dropped the bagel that he was hiding and took a couple of steps back as he raised his hands in surrender.
"L-Look, I didn't know that this stash belonged to you, alright. I'm sorry."
"Oh, you're sorry? You are sorry, huh? Sorry is not going to fix you eating two weeks worth of rations, brat. Do you realize how hard it was to steal that junk?" Mark asked with a glare as Barry gulped a bit while sweating nervously as he looks down.
"I-I don't want any trouble, okay."
"Well, I didn't want my shit to be stolen, but here we are. Now, usually, I would let my boys rough you up a bit, but I'm seriously pissed and hungry, and now that you ate my food, I'm going to make you pay by eating my flames." Ella says with an angry glare while stepping forward as she raised her arms and projects two small fireballs as Joel laughed loudly.
"Ha, ha, ha, you are so screwed now, boy!" Joel shouted as Barry flinched and was about to cower in fear, but then gasped in shock as the Mysterious Figure landed in front of him and glared at the Thugs as he clenched his fists.
The Mysterious Figure is really a 4'3-feet-tall, 8-year-old Japanese Boy with black eyes, orange shaggy hair, a small nose, a sharp chin, Light Skin, a slim yet athletic build, and his outfit consists of a long-sleeved leather black jacket with a short-sleeved purple shirt underneath, long black pants, and black shoes. His Quirk is called Death Angel, his Quirk allows him to transform into a large humanoid alien-like super-evolved predator creature with superhuman senses and physical ability as well as indestructible skin-like armor, and his weakness is that too many loud noises can disorient and irritate him and even paralyze him, depending on how loud the noise is as prolonged exposure to extremely high frequencies can kill him as he can also not swim in deep waters due to how his heavy body armor is. His name is Ichigo Kamado, a kid who trains to one day join U.A. High School and become an official Pro Hero as he is also Star and Stripe's Protege.
"Who the hell is this brat?!" An annoyed Ella asked as Ichigo glared at the Flameheads and turned to face a surprised Barry as he reached out to grab his hand.
"Come on, Kid, let's bail!" Barry screamed while yanking a grunting Barry forward as they ran ahead just as a glaring Ella threw her fireballs at them but ended up missing due to her poor aim as her fireballs ended up hitting her tent as it, and the rest of her rations started going ablaze.
"Those little shitbirds made me burn my stash! Let's burn them, boys!" Ella screamed with her boys nodding fiercely as the Flameheads then gave chase and ran after the boys as Barry panted heavily and struggled to keep up with Ichigo as he turned back to give the Flameheads a fearful look.
"Don't look back! Just keep running!" Ichigo snapped at Barry, who flinched but nodded as he turned back to him and shut his eyes in fright as, unknown to him, the brown-haired boy started running slightly faster than normal and was able to keep up with Ichigo, who was surprised by this but decided to question it later as the Boys continued running.
"Damn! Look at him go, boss! You think he might have a Speed Quirk?!" A shocked Joel asked as he and the others struggled to keep up with a running Barry and Ichigo.
"I don't care if he and his friend have Quirks similar to fucking All Might! Let's just burn that little thief and his friend to ashes!" Ella screamed with a glare while raising her flamed-covered hands as the Boys laughed sinisterly.
"Ha, ha, yes! I haven't burned anything in days! Dibs on his back!"
"I call his head!" Mark screamed while taking off his glasses as his eyes glowed pure red just as Joel's chest started sizzling with red heat as the Boys and Ella started firing multiple fireballs and streams of flames over at the boys, narrowing hitting him as Ichigo glared at them angrily and lets go of Barry's hand as he turned to him.
"Kid, go ahead, and run to safety! I will distract them!" Ichigo shouted as Barry bit his lip nervously, not wanting to leave him behind but realized that he had no choice and turned around to run away just as the Flameheads appeared as Ichigo glared at them furiously. "Let me say this, assholes, if you all don't leave us alone, I will tear you all apart!" Ichigo screamed with a threatening growl as the Flameheads stopped in their tracks and glared at him firmly, but they were feeling slight fear from the menacing aura forming around him as a worried Barry was able to reach the end of the alleyway and reached the street as, before Barry could even think of trying to head towards the nearest Police Station or whatever, a random car appeared out of nowhere and collided against him, causing him to scream in surprise as Barry was flung forward and crashed down into the ground as a stunned Ichigo and Flameheads winced at this in shock.
"Oh damn, hit by a car? Brutal, but that little shithead is lucky that we didn't get to him or his death wouldn't have been as instant." Ella says with a mocking laugh as Ichigo turned to glare at her, but before he could say anything, a worried Mark turned to his Girlfriend after putting on his flame-proof glasses.
"Uh, babe? I think it's best that we go because if people see us here, they might think that we pushed that kid to be run over by that car and arrest us for murder." Mark says as Ella pursed her lips but nodded.
"Aight, let's get out of here, boys."
"Yeah, I'm with you, boss," Joel says as the Flameheads turned around to run away and Ichigo watched them go with a glare as he scoffed and rolled his eyes as Ichigo then turned back to eye Barry worriedly and was about to go and check on him, but stopped as the driver of the car got out of the car and it ended up being no other but Danielle Unger as the worried Former Police Officer ran over to the seemingly dead kid and she kneeled down to his side with tears in her eyes.
"O-Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I swear that I didn't see you! You just...oh my god, I'm so sorry, sweetie, I'm so sorry!" Danielle cried while lowering her head as she was unable to believe that she killed someone's son, but before she could mourn for the child's death, a groaning Barry woke up as he sits up from the ground and rubbed his head.
"Ugh, anybody got a number for that bus?"
"Oh! You're alive! I'm so happy!" A beaming Danielle yelled while hugging a surprised Barry as she then frowned and separated from him. "Wait, how are you alive? You don't even have any scratches on you." A disbelieving Danielle says while raising her hand as she projected a bright beam of light and used it to wash over Barry's body thoroughly as she was surprised that not even a bruise was left behind on his body.
"Uh...I'm more durable than most people think." Barry says with an unsure, awkward tone as Dannielle blinked confusedly but then perked up in realization as she sighs in relief and deactivated her Quirk.
"Oh, well, it's a good thing that you have some kind of Durability Quirk, or else you would've died or been seriously injured. I'm sorry that I hit you, though." Danielle says apologetically as Barry smiled at her reassuringly and stood up from the floor as the woman did the same.
"It's okay. It was my fault, honestly. I was the one who ran out into the street."
"Why did you do that anyway?" Danielle asked curiously as she noticed that Barry seemed to flinch a bit but kept a cool demeanor as he shrugged.
"Oh, I thought I saw a cute beagle and wanted to pet it."
"Uh huh," Danielle says, not believing his lie whatsoever, as she then bends down to his eye level. "Still, I feel bad for what happened to you, so why don't you tell me where your Parents are so that I can go and apologize to them personally?"
"Oh, uh, that will probably not work."
"Why is that?" Danielle asked with a raised eyebrow before stopping as she finally got a good look at the boy and frowned a bit as Danielle noticed how...old his clothes looked and that they seemed to be too small for him as she also noticed that he was covered with filth and what seems to be freaking blood as it didn't take someone with an Intelligence Boosting Quirk to realize the kid's situation. "Oh, you are homeless, huh?"
"Y-Yeah, my Parents abandoned me when I was young, so I was on my own for a long while and all," Barry says awkwardly while looking away as Danielle frowned a bit but said nothing as the homeless boy then twiddled his fingers nervously. "Anyway, sorry for bothering you this late at night, miss. I will just be going now." Barry says while turning around as he was about to walk away, but was stopped by Danielle as she stood up and walked over to place her hand on his shoulder.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"Oh, I have a little hideout a couple of blocks away, and, to be honest, I feel incredibly tired, so I want to go to sleep, and-,"
"Hey, why don't you come with me?" Danielle interrupted, shocking Barry as she smiled down at him warmly. "I have plenty of room in my house and a big comfy and fluffy bed."
"R-Really? I mean, are you okay with a r-random kid living in your h-house?" A worried Barry says as Danielle winked at him and waved her hand around playfully.
"Yep, I am. Besides, it's the least I can do for hitting you earlier, but of course, you don't have to go if you do want to." Danielle says with a nod, wanting to respect his boundaries as Barry was surprised by this and looked down in thought before turning back to her as he nodded hesitantly. "Cool...oh, and I have a half-full pizza box if you want some?"
"Ooh, really?! I haven't had pizza in forever!" An excited Barry yelled with starry eyes as Danielle smiled amusedly and chuckled.
I know what you guys are thinking,
She just hit me with her car, and I climb in the front seat?
Look, I may not be the smartest or strongest around,
But the one thing that I pride myself on is sensing good people
And this woman is definitely a good person, especially when she eventually becomes my future Adoptive Mother
Although, I'm getting a bit ahead of myself again, so let's continue
After once again making sure that Barry wasn't injured by the collision with her car, the Duo then turned around and walked back over to the car as they got inside, not noticing the big Barry-sized dent on the vehicle as they then drove off into the night with Ichigo watching them go curiously as he tilted his head, but smiled warmly as the orange-haired boy nodded to himself in satisfaction and placed his hands in his pockets as he turned around to walk away.
"Please excuse Jack Unger from any and all activities because he has a bad cold." A teenage boy said as we cut to the next morning, and we cue at the Unger House as we see him typing on his computer, trying to make an excuse to miss school as he narrowed his eyes.
The boy is a 5'8-feet-tall, 15-year-old Male with black eyes, long wavy brown hair, thin brown eyebrows, a small nose, a sharp chin, Caucasian Skin, a slim lanky build, and his outfit consists of a long-sleeved cream-colored opened jacket with a short-sleeved gray shirt with the image of All Might on it underneath, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long dark blue jeans, and white shoes. His Quirk is called Sunspot, this Quirk enables him to be able to project dual beams of pure yellow sunlight from out of his eyes/mouth/hands/feet as his weakness is that it's not unlimited and can run out, and if he wants to project more of his ability, he needs to stand under the sun for 5 hours. His name is Thomas 'Jack' Unger, Danielle's Son and Superhero Fanatic.
"No, too simplistic...he has shingles...no, I already used that. Come on, Jack. Dig deep." An annoyed Jack says with a sigh...before perking up as an idea popped into his head and grinned slyly as Jack typed in his excuse before copying and pasting a signature from a random doctor's site as he laughed in satisfaction and send the email to his school as Jack was about to then play a quick videogame session, but then-
"Hey, Jack, you ready for school yet?!" Danielle's voice rang out from outside as Jack perked up and turned to the source of her voice.
"Yeah!"
"Come on out back!"
"I can't! I'm busy!"
"Aw, come on! I got someone to introduce you to!" Danielle screamed as Jack rolled his eyes with a groan. "Hey, I heard that!" His Mother's angry voice rang out as Jack flinched in fear and sighed heavily as he got up from his chair and made his way out of his home as Jack arrived at his backyard and was flabbergasted to see his Mother kneeling down to a random kid, who was sitting on a chair as Barry was fully cleaned and was now wearing a new set of clothes, which consisted of him wearing a red baseball cap that he wears backwards, a long-sleeved red shirt with gray sleeves, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long dark blue jeans, and white shoes.
"So, sweetie, do you like your new clothes?" Danielle asked with a warm smile as Barry glanced down at it and smiled.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool, although I'm not stealing these clothes, right?"
"Nah, these were my Son's clothes when he was your age. Won't fit him anymore, so you can wear them without worry." Danielle says reassuringly as Barry nodded before the Duo noticed Jack staring at them oddly as his Mother beamed at the sight of him. "Hey, Jack, good that you came. I would like to introduce to you Barry Feld. Barry, this is my Son, Jack Unger." Danielle says while introducing the boys to each other as Jack stared at Barry with a raised eyebrow, and the Homeless Boy smiled at him awkwardly with a wave as the Teenage Boy then grabbed his Mother and leads her way for a private conversation.
"Uh, it's a little too early to babysit, Mom," Jack says deadpannedly as Danielle shakes her head.
"Oh, he's none of the neighbors or my friend's kids."
"Really? Wait, don't tell me that you adopted him." A shocked and aghast Jack says as Danielle, once again, shakes her head.
"No, no, no, it's nothing like that. I just accidentally hit him with my car last night, so I decided to do him a favor and let him live with us long enough until my Friends at the Police Station can locate his Parents and I can bring him to them." Danielle says as, unknown to them, a distracted Barry was able to somehow listen in on them, even though they were standing pretty far away from him as he felt a bit worried when she mentioned his Parents.
"Wait, you hit him with your car? How is he alive then?" A disbelieving Jack asked as Danielle shrugged.
"Don't know. Kid told me that he has some kind of Durability-Type Quirk or something. Although, he does look pretty cute, admittedly. He kind of looks like you when you were his age." Danielle says with an amused smile and cooing at Barry's cuteness as he heard this and looked away awkwardly with a blush.
"Uh-huh," Jack says dryly, not seeing the similarities between them, even though Barry legitimately looks like a younger version of him. "Anyway, I'm off to school," Jack says as he was about to leave, but stopped as Danielle held out her hand.
"Wait, Son, since today is a Half-Day, I was hoping that after school is done, you can look after Barry until I come back since the Babysitter that I will leave with him is only available for half a day," Danielle says as an angry and disbelieving Jack turned to her.
"What?! No! Why do I have to babysit him?! He's your responsibility! You picked him up from the street! You take care of him!"
"Son, I have to be at work, but another reason that I asked this is because I thought it would be nice for you two to bond a bit. Take your mind off a few things and have some bro time."
"With a kid? I don't think so. Besides, I'm telling you I am fine, all right? You don't have to keep doing this. You've got plenty of other things to worry about, like being a prison guard to lab rats." Jack says with a glare as Danielle sighed heavily and looked away as she was about to say something but then stopped as her phone began ringing and pulled it out as she answered it.
"Hello?"
"..."
"No, no, I'll come back."
"..."
"All right. Thank you." Danielle says while hanging up the phone as she then turned to Jack. "I got to go back to work."
"What about...uh..." Jack says, unable to remember Barry's name, as Danielle rolled her eyes a bit.
"Barry. Anyway, remember, I already called for a Babysitter, and she will show up soon to look after him, so all I ask of you is to look after him when you come back from school until I come back, okay?" Danielle says with a tired sigh as Jack pouts and placed his hands in his pockets.
"Ugh, fine, but what would I even do? All he will probably do is cry, eat, fart, sleep and play video games."
"Then the two of you have a lot in common, don't you?" Danielle says with a playful tone while patting her Son's shoulder as he rolled his eyes in annoyance, but didn't say anything as he walked away and Danielle went over to bend down to Barry's eye level. "Alright, sweetie, so I talked with my Son, and-,"
"I know," Barry says, surprising Danielle as he gave her a sheepish grin. "I heard your conversation."
"Huh, we must've been talking too loud. Anyway, don't worry about Jack. He doesn't adapt to changes very well, but I'm sure that you two will get along soon." Danielle says before standing up from the floor as she turned around to walk away. "So, since you already heard, I got a babysitter for you who will show up in about 15 minutes, and she will stay with you for five hours, and the babysitter will then leave, but, don't worry, my Son Jack will show up from school shortly after, and he will look after you long enough until I come back. So, in the meantime, if you want to eat, the kitchen is free. We have some video games that you might like on the TV, and if you are bored, have either the Babysitter or Jack tell you how to activate our Disney Plus Account. I have no idea how to use the TV, but they would. So, don't leave the house unless you are either with Jack, me, or the babysitter."
"Gotcha. Have a good day, Ms. Unger." Barry says with a smile as Danielle mentally coos at how polite and adorable he is before walking away as a bored Barry looked around and spotted a nearby swing set as he walked over to sit on it and began swinging back and forth as, unknown to him, his Human DNA continued changing and growing as it got used to the new foreign Artifical Quirk created by Simon Bar Sinister.
"With the stolen blood from various Pro Heroes and even Villains, I can isolate specific Quirk-Related DNA Strands and combine them in however way I want, so what I did is that I took out various Quirks and mushed them together into one Powerful Artificial Multi-Quirk that could give a subject Superhuman strength, power, speed, agility, durability, endurance, stamina, etc. Hell, with that many Quirks inside of their person, they could even gain unprecedented New Quirks that not even I know would surface. We'll just have to see with our test subjects, but what I do know is that any person injected with my serum will become the next All Might, maybe even more. And what's best about this is that they will have virtually no serious ill-related side effects from my serum. If not, possible change in diet as subjects' powers is so grand and powerful that it drains their energy and wastes a lot of calories, so they need to eat five times the amount of food that they usually eat on a daily basis, but I'm not sure yet. We have to see with further testing." Simon Bar Sinister's Voice Narrated with an evil laugh as Barry suddenly froze and shivered a bit as he was about to say something to himself, but then-
"Yo." A familiar male voice rang out as Barry perked up and whirled around to see Ichigo leaning against the fence as he waved at him cheekily.
"Oh, hey, it's you." A happy Barry says while getting out of the swinging set as he ran over to talk with Ichigo, who jumped over the fence to land in front of you. "Hey, I was never able to thank you for saving me yesterday from those Thugs."
"Heh, you're welcome, dude. I couldn't let someone get hurt like you. In fact, that's why I followed after you when you were kidnapped by that dude." Ichigo explained as Barry gasped in realization.
"Oh! You were the one who saved me from Simon's Minion!"
"Exactly, and while I knew that you were in good care, I decided to show up and check in on you just in case you are okay...you are okay, right?" Ichigo asked worriedly as Barry nodded with a warm smile.
"Yep, Miss Unger is a really nice person. Her Son, however..."
"Yeah, I overheard," Ichigo says with a knowing nod as he then smirked down at him. "Hey, since the Babysitter won't be here for a while, how about I look after you for a bit until she shows up?"
"Ooh, that sounds cool. Oh, and my name is Barry Feld, by the way."
"Ichigo Kamado," Ichigo says curtly with a nod as he and Barry then made their way into the Unger House to relax a bit and wait for the Babysitter to come back.
"Forging a doctor's note, Jack? Is this what it's come to?" The Principal of Jack's School asked with a fierce glare as we see her and the nervous boy in her office a few hours later.
"I didn't forge it," Jack says with a fake innocent tone as the Principal gave her a blank glare.
"So, you expect me to believe that you have...monkeypox?" The Principal asked as Jack smiled awkwardly and coughed to try and make it work as she rolled her eyes with a scoff. "Okay, I don't know what disappoints me more, the fact that you did it, or that you did so poorly that you couldn't even fool a P.E. Teacher," The Principal says as Jack shrugged with a 'Hey, I tried my best here' look, and we then cue back to the Unger House as we see Barry and Ichigo sleeping together on the couch, but was woken up by Barry's stomach growling loudly as Barry sits up and yawns while Ichigo rubbed his eyes and yawned as the Boys looks around confusedly before checking the time as the Duo was surprised to see that it was nearly 2:00 P.M.
"Huh, weird, didn't Miss Unger say that she would leave a Babysitter with me?" Barry asked with a raised eyebrow as a worried Ichigo nodded.
"Yeah, how weird. She must be running late or something. It's a good thing that I stuck around, huh?"
"Yep," Barry says with a nod, silently admitting that it would've been scary for him to be in a big house like this all alone, as he then flinched in surprise when his stomach rumbled loudly and grabbed it with a groan.
"Are you okay?" Ichigo asked as Barry nodded anxiously.
"Yeah, it's just that I'm really hungry."
"Ah, let's get some food then. Especially since I feel a bit hungry as well." Ichigo says with a smirk as Barry nodded, not feeling bad about potentially stealing someone else's food due to remembering that Danielle allowed him to eat whatever there was in the kitchen.
"Noice, let's go," Barry says as the Boys then jumped off the couch as they made their way into the Kitchen, and walked over to the fridge as Barry opened it, and he perked up at the sight of a can of ravioli inside. "Oh, nice! I haven't eaten this in forever!" An excited Barry yelled as Ichigo leaned over to see what he was looking at and shrugged.
"Hmmm, eh, I can go for some ravioli, I guess," Ichigo says with a shrug as Barry nodded and reached over to grab the can of ravioli, but due to how tight his grip was, he accidentally squeezed it enough that both ends popped open as two streams of ravioli were shot out and splattered across the walls of the kitchen as the Boys flinched at this in shock. "What the hell?!"
"Oh no! Miss Unger will be so mad at me if she sees this mess! Better clean it up!" A worried Barry screamed as Ichigo turned to nod at him.
"Right, but where are the cleaning supplies, though?" Ichigo asked with a raised eyebrow as Barry bit his lip nervously and he was about to go over and search for the cleaning supplies but stopped as Barry heard the doorbell ringing and loud pop music rang out as he heard the unknown person mumble 'Shit...came in late...busy with boyfriend...better find the kid...or he does...or something'.
"Oh, the babysitter is here!"
"What? How do you know that?" Ichigo asked confusedly while crossing his arms.
"She can tell me where the cleaning supplies are! Yes!" A beaming Barry yelled while unintentionally ignoring Ichigo as he turned around and ran into the Living Room as the brown-haired boy jumped up to look through the bay window, and spotted a 17-year-old African American Girl wearing glasses standing outside of the house while listening to some loud rock music outside as Barry smiled and waved at her. "Hey! Over here! I need your help, lady! I accidentally made a mess in the kitchen!" Barry screamed but the Teenager was unable to listen to him due to her music as she patiently waited for someone to open the door. "Hey! Hey! HEY!" Barry screamed while sending out a small sonic soundwave that not only cracked the bay window but also the Teenage Girl glasses and the glass window on her car, startling her so much that she turned to face a sheepish-looking Barry as he waved at her awkwardly.
"What the hell?! A Kid with some kind of sonic shriek Quirk? Hell no! Don't want my eardrums busting everytime he threw a temper tantrum!" The teenage girl yelled with a scoff as she rolled her eyes and turned around to walk away.
"Wait, don't leave! I'm sorry! Please come back!" Barry pleaded helplessly as the Teenage Girl ignored him and boarded her car as she then drove off, causing him to pout sadly as he sighed heavily.
"Barry, what happened?!" A surprised Ichigo asked after noticing the broken window as Barry turned to him and was about to say something but then perked up when he spotted a home phone placed underneath the couch.
"Oh! A phone!" Barry exclaimed with a grin, remembering Miss Unger giving him her work phone number in case they are any emergencies as Barry hopes that if he explains that what he did was an accident, she will forgive him as long as he cleans up the mess with her cleaning supplies.
"Perfect!" A happy Barry yelled while jumping down into the ground as he ran over to bend down and look underneath the couch as the brown-haired boy sticks out his tongue and tried to reach out and grab the home phone, but it was too far away from his reach as Barry grunted in annoyance and reach out to grab the couch as he tried to lift it slightly so that he can reach further and grab the phone, but Barry ended up flinging the couch up into the air as if it was a baseball as the brown-haired boy screamed in fear and turned around to run away, unknowingly running at Superhuman Speeds as he went from the center of the Living Room to the stairs in the matter of a second just as the couch crashed down into the ground and wrecked the furniture as Barry winced in fear with a nervous gulp while Ichigo's jaw dropped in shock.
"Holy shit, how did you do that?!"
"I-I don't know. What is happening to me, Ichigo?" Barry asked confusedly while glancing down at his hands anxiously as, before Ichigo could try and answer him, the door was opened, and a humming Jack walked into the house as he was about to go up to his room and play video games, but stopped as Jack noticed the sheer mess that Barry accidentally made and his jaw dropped in shock as he walked forward.
"What...did...you...do?! Oh, Mom is going to kill you! And then me!" Jack screamed while pulling on his hair in worry as Barry winced and looked away guiltily as the Teenage Boy then spotted Ichigo and pointed at him. "And you invited friends without Mom's permission?! Are you trying to get me in trouble!?"
"Uh, look, Jack, Barry didn't mean to do any of this. It was an accident...oh, and my name is Ichigo Kamado. Nice to meet you." Ichigo says with a polite tone as Jack gave him an odd look but waved at him reluctantly as he then walked over to the Kitchen and grimaced as Jack spotted the ravioli on the walls.
"Oh, God, I really hope that this is ravioli or chili."
"Definitely ravioli," Barry says with Jack whirling around to glare at him as he once again winces in guilt. "Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this. Things went out of hand when I tried to grab some food but ended up accidentally feeding the walls instead, accidentally cracked the windows on the Babysitter's car, flipped over the couch, and-,"
"Wait, what? You were able to do all of that? I thought you had some kind of Durability Quirk?" Jack asked with a raised eyebrow as Barry bit his lip and looked away nervously.
"Well, not exactly," Barry says before realizing that he needs to tell the truth and come clean with what happened as he sighed heavily with a crestfallen expression on his face. "Alright, look, I'm sorry for lying to you and your Mom, but I have a secret. I don't actually have a Quirk."
"What? Of course, you do. I mean, how else do you explain surviving getting hit by a car?" A disbelieving Jack says with a scoff as Ichigo turned to give him a serious glare.
"He's not lying, Jack. When I first saw him, Barry possessed no Quirk whatsoever, but the next time I saw him, he now possesses numerous Quirks." Ichigo says as Barry nodded frantically.
"Yeah, I don't know how I survived that car crash or how I created all of this mess! What happened last night is something that I thought was just some fluke or trick of my mind, but ever since I was kidnapped into that secret lab and was doused with those chemicals, I started experiencing weird sensations and surges of power within myself. First, it was when I survived being hit by the car, then hearing your conversation earlier even though you two were far away, and now apparently, I have Super Strength and Super Sonic Screaming. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think that evil scientists gave me a Quirk." Barry says with Jack staring at him for a few seconds before snorting as he started laughing.
"Ha, ha, ha! Come on, dude, are you hearing yourself? You can't just give other people Quirks. It's not like it's a gift. That would be like giving your organ to someone...well, sure, you can do that, but you need a hospital and a bunch of doctors. What I'm trying to say is that you can't just give away a Quirk as if it were present. Stop being ridiculous." Jack says with Barry narrowing his eyes, angry that he wasn't taking him seriously as, unknown to him, his eyes started glowing with yellow/red energy.
"WILL YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME FOR ONCE, JACK?!" Barry screamed furiously while accidentally firing out dual yellow/red energy beams that flew past a shocked Jack and hit his wall, burning a hole in it, as a stunned Barry's eyes stopped glowing, and he turned over to Jack and Ichigo, who stared at him in shock as they blinked a couple of times.
"Did...Did...you just shoot beams out of your eyes?" Jack asked slowly, making sure that what he was seeing wasn't fake or a trick of his mind as Barry nodded nervously.
"Barry? Can you do us a favor and go and try to lift that couch over there?" Ichigo asked while pointing at the couch as Barry nodded and walked over to grab it as he easily lifted it up into the air before placing it down as Ichigo did a double take with wide eyes while Jack squealed in shock and got a little weak at the knees as he crashed down into the ground.
"Y-You just used two Quirks! Two very completely different Quirks!"
"I just used two completely different Quirks!" A surprised Barry yelled while trying to take a couple of steps back but ended up speeding backwards into a wall, breaking a hole in it as Jack yelped in fright and scurried away as he pointed at him shakily.
"Laser Eyes! Super Strength! Super Speed! Three Quirks! How are you doing this?!"
"I'm telling you! I...don't...knoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!" Barry screamed in frustration, accidentally cracking all of the glass around them as the Boys turned back over to each other and let out a loud terrified scream that rang across the whole house.
"Okay, okay, deep breaths." An extremely freaked-out Jack says while walking out of his house as he was close to hyperventilating. "Get some fresh air to the brain. You are just imagining this."
"Wait! Jack! Wait!" Barry and Ichigo screamed while running after him as Jack turned to glare at them.
"No! Stay away from me, you two!" Jack shouted while turning around to run away, but wasn't really successful with it as Barry was able to use his Super Speed to appear in front of him, and Ichigo simply ran up to him.
"Wait, wait, please don't leave me!"
"Why?!" A glaring Jack yelled as Ichigo narrowed his eyes sternly and pointed at Barry.
"Jack, I know that you are freaking out and everything, but look at him!" Ichigo screamed as Jack turned to look at Barry directly...and his anger died down as he spotted a trembling Barry glancing up at him with tears of fear in his eyes.
"I-I can't l-let you l-leave m-me b-because your Mom told me that I can't leave the h-house without y-you, and...and I-I can't be alone right now! I-I'm scared, Jack! I don't know w-what's going on with me! J-Just please help me!" Barry pleaded with Ichigo giving the Older Teenager a look that read, 'Come on, man, have a heart, and help us out here already' as Jack felt his heartstrings being tugged by how broken and sad Barry sounded as, even though he was personally freaking the fuck out, Jack couldn't in good conscience leave someone in distress, so after taking a deep breath, he bends down to place his hand on Barry's shoulder.
"Okay, okay, how about we both calm down, and we go to the park to talk about this as slowly and as gently as we can so we can figure out what's going on, yeah?" Jack asked as Barry sniffled but nodded as the Teenager stood up from the floor and held out his hand as Barry reached out to grab it, and they started walking forward. "...Mind loosening your grip there?"
"Oh, uh, sorry." An apologetic Barry asked after noticing that he was gripping Jack's hand too tightly and loosened his grip as Ichigo walked over to pat Barry's shoulder reassuringly before the Boys continued walking down the street as, 20 minutes later, we see Barry, Jack, and Ichigo sitting on the bench of a random park as the Recently Superpowered Boy finished explaining to Jack everything that happened the night prior.
"So...wait, you're saying that a crazy evil mad scientist who works at TGI kidnapped you, alongside other children, and did experiments on you, but you were able to escape?" An incredulous Jack asked as Barry and Ichigo nodded.
"Yep, that's exactly what happened. I was able to see Barry getting kidnapped by a mysterious man, so I followed after them, and I helped Barry escape from the lab and helped him run away from a couple of thugs, and then your Mother ran over Barry, and the rest is history." Ichigo says as Jack hummed in thought.
"Hmmm, interesting, alright, while this seems still crazy as fuck, at least this problem is more scientifically based, this I can work it."
"You think?" Barry asked hopefully as Jack nodded while holding up his hand as he projected a ray of yellow sunlight.
"Alright, you see what I'm doing here? I'm currently using my Quirk, but tell me, where do you think Quirks come from? Do you have any basic knowledge on Quirks?"
"I know that they give people superpowers, but I admittedly haven't taken any classes on Quirks," Barry says sheepishly as Jack pursed his lips but nodded as his hand stopped glowing and turned to glance at Ichigo, who nodded knowingly as they decided to explain to Barry the History of Quirks.
"Alright, for a quick History Lesson, a long time ago, the first Meta Ability was manifested by a newborn baby in Qing Qing City China with the ability to radiate light from its body. After this phenomenon, many people around the world began to manifest different kinds of superpowers, which became known as Meta Abilities. While the cause of this phenomenon is unknown, it has been theorized that it was caused by the spread of a previously unknown virus carried by mice while others theorized that it was actually a natural evolution of the human race, however, to date, there is no hard evidence to support any of these theories." Jack started.
"Anyway, the advent of the Quirks led society into chaos. The dawn of this extraordinary era was marred by a breakdown of society caused by the sudden onslaught of criminals empowered by their newfound 'superpowers' and ordinary people being prejudiced against the new minority. As chaos and unrest ensued due to the outbreak of Meta Abilities, ordinary civilians decided to take matters into their own hands to bring order to society, and thus the first 'Heroes' appeared in the form of Vigilantes, beginning the Vigilante Era." Ichigo continued.
"As society adapted to the new status quo, the Police Force moved to prioritize leadership and to maintain the status quo, and as such, decided not to use Quirks as weapons. To fill that void, the profession of crime-fighting Quirk users, Pro Heroes, began to exist, starting in Rhode Island, USA, which caused the Vigilantes to slowly disappear. Authorizing the use of powers that could so easily kill, however, was a greatly criticized decision at first, but eventually became accepted as a legitimate occupation. This became known as the 'Advent of the Extraordinary'."
"Currently, roughly 80% of the people who make up the global population possess a Quirk, and that percentage continues to increase, although so does the number of people born without Quirks as well. No one knows if that means that eventually, Quirks will start disappearing in a few centuries, but let's not worry about that." Ichigo finished as Jack nodded and gave Barry a small smile.
"So, what I'm trying to say is that Quirks as a whole are still a relatively new concept that the Human Race don't truly understand yet. We can just make guesses or assumptions based on the evidence presented before us, so an evil scientist creating a special serum that can give someone multiple Quirks without killing them is not entirely in the realm of fantasy."
"So...I'm not a freak of nature?" A hopeful yet anxious Barry asked as Jack noticed the way he said that and came up with an idea to cheer him up as he casually placed his arm around Barry's shoulders.
"Nope, although you do have that Spider on your shoulder, though." Jack says while trailing his fingers across his shoulder as Barry squeals in surprise and jumped off the bench as he ran around panickedly, trying to kill the 'spider', but found nothing as the brown-haired boy was briefly confused by this until he hears Jack and Ichigo laughing loudly from their seat.
"Ha, ha! Well, you may not be a freak of nature, but you're definitely a gullible dork!" Ichigo yelled while still laughing as Barry blushed in embarrassment and huffed as he walked over to sit back down on the bench.
"Very funny, guys..."
"Ha, ha, but seriously, though, you're not a freak of nature, Barry. Sure, I thought that at first, but I can see now that you aren't any different from the rest of us. Sure, you have multiple powerful Quirks, but other people have dangerous Quirks as well." Jack says as Ichigo calmed down and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I mean, hell, All Might can blow up mountains with one punch, Multimen can multiply someone's heart and kill them, Streak can literally drag someone across the whole world. Powerful Quirks don't mean you are dangerous and evil."
"Exactly, we just need to learn what all of your powers are and find a way to learn how to control them," Jack explained as Barry nodded slowly while feeling cheered up by what his friends said as he was about to tell him what powers he had, but then-
"Jack?" A female's voice rang out as the Boys turned their head and spotted a beautiful teenage girl walking over to him. The Teenager is a 5'4-feet-tall, 15-year-old Girl with black eyes, long straight light brown hair that reaches near her waist, a small nose, a sharp chin, C-Cup Breasts, Caucasian Skin, a slim hourglass figure, a perky ass, and her outfit consists of a long-sleeved light blue hoodie with a short-sleeved green shirt underneath, a brown belt with a golden belt buckle, long skinny ripped blue jeans, and red/white shoes. Her name is Molly Curtis, a Quirkless Reporter for Jack's School and his Crush.
"Shhh! That's Molly!"
"Who's Molly?" Barry and Ichigo asked curiously as Jack turned to them.
"A reporter for my school paper. She'll have a field day with you, Barry, and your Multiple Quirks. Just act natural and if she asks what your Quirk is, just say Super Strength." Jack says as Barry nodded just as Molly ran over to the Boys as she smiled at them. "Hey, how's it going?" Jack says to Molly with a blushing smile while standing up from the bench as she smiled back at him.
"Good, so who are you talking to?" Molly asked while pointing at Barry and Ichigo, who smiled and waved at her.
"Oh, uh, that kid over there is someone that my Mom found on the streets and decided to take him in for a while until we can find his Parents. And the other one is his new friend that he made a while back. My Mom asked me to look over them while she was at work, so I decided to bring the boys to the park." Jack says as Molly beams.
"Awww, that's so sweet," Molly says just as Barry and Ichigo stood up from the bench.
"Hi, Miss, I'm Barry Feld. Nice to meet you."
"And I'm Ichigo Kamado," Ichigo added in.
"He, he, cute and polite, the whole package. You can learn a lot of things from them as you only have one of those quirks." Molly flirted while winking at Jack, who blushed heavily as he looked away.
"Are you two flirting?" Barry asked innocently.
"No!" An embarrassed Jack says with a glare as Barry smirked at him, being able to hear both their hearts beating loudly, but said nothing about it as he and Ichigo share knowing looks as they chuckled. "So, anyway, it was good to see you, Molly, but I probably have to take the Boys back home before my Mom comes back."
"Oh, well, I've got to get going too. See you at school." Molly says while waving at him as she turned around to walk away, and Jack watched her go with a lovestruck sigh as the Boys glanced up at him.
"You like her, don't you?" Ichigo asked amusedly, snapping Jack out of his lovestruck daze as he blushed and turned to glance down at them.
"W-What? No!"
"Then why is your heart beating so fast?" Barry asked with a cheeky grin.
"Because I...wait...you can hear my heartbeat? Even with all of this noise?" A shocked Jack asked while waving his arms around at the various people around them as even Ichigo was surprised to hear what Barry said.
"Yeah, you are super close, so your heartbeat sounds like banging drums to me. I can also hear your heartbeat as well, Ichigo." Barry says as Jack and Ichigo gasped in disbelief and surprise but nodded as Barry was about to say something, only for the brown-haired child to perk up as his nose wrinkled a bit. "Wait...hold on...do you guys smell that?"
"Smell what?" An incredulous Ichigo asked while he and Jack smelled nothing but garbage and flowers as Barry ignored him and looked around while sniffing a bit as he narrowed his eyes and used his Supervision to hone in on a Pizza Delivery Man standing near the entrance of the park with a box of fresh pizza placed behind him on his bike.
"PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" An excited Barry screamed with starry eyes as, before the Boys could react, he ran off and came back in the blink of an eye while holding one of the boxes of pizza as Barry began eating it at an incredibly fast rate.
"What was that?!" An amazed Ichigo asked as Barry paused mid-eating with a shrug.
"Don't know! I just smelled the pizza all the way over here, and I decided to go and get it, and next thing I know, I'm back here!"
"But that was barely a second!" Jack yelled with his jaw dropped but then perked up as he pulled out a pen paper and began writing something down.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm writing down your powers so that we don't forget about them," Jack says as the Boys nodded in understanding, and Ichigo turned to him.
"Well, so far, Barry has exhibited Superhuman Strength, Speed, Durability, and Senses."
"Not to mention the Laser Eyes," Jack added in as he wrote down all of Barry's powers. "Alright, so let's start out slow and try to control your Superhearing."
"Good idea, Jack. Barry? Can you tell us what those people are saying?" Ichigo asked while the Boys sat back down on the bench as he pointed over at a group of people placed far away from them and Barry narrowed his eyes while honing in his senses to be able to listen to them as their faraway mumbling voices started becoming clear to him as if he was standing next to them.
"Alright, that blonde-haired lady doing her workout is talking to her friend about her Baby Shower, that man is teaching his son how to throw a football, and those couple over there are talking about gross romantic stuff, and the woman says that if he behaves, he can eat her...ewwwwwww! Guys do that?! How gross! That's where girls pee out of!" A disgusted Barry yelled with a gobsmacked Jack and Ichigo laughing a bit as he glared at them...and then gasped as Barry accidentally used his X-Ray Vision to look through Jack and Ichigo's bodies and saw their muscle systems before seeing their skeletons as Barry then blinked away his vision so that it will return back to normal. "Whoa!"
"What? What happened?" A surprised Ichigo asked as Barry pointed at him.
"I just saw through your bodies, guys! I saw your guts and skeleton and junk!"
"Oh! You have X-Ray Vision!" A grinning Jack exclaimed before noticing the blonde-haired woman jogging near them and couldn't help but stare at her giant bouncing titties as an idea popped into his head. "Quick, Barry, see through that woman's shirt and tell me what you see!" An excited Jack yelled with Ichigo giving him a disapproving glare as Barry raised an eyebrow at him weirdly but nodded as he turned over to glance at the jogging woman and narrowed his eyes as Barry was able to see through her shirt.
"Well, I see her boobies."
"Are they glorious as I imagine?"
"Eh, they are alright, I guess. Pretty gross, though." Barry says with a shrug while deactivating his X-Ray Vision as Jack blinked a couple of times of confusion at what he said.
"Dude, we're eight," Ichigo stated bluntly with Jack perking up in realization as he facepalmed with a loud groan.
"Oh, right, I kind of forgot that you two are still children. You two are still too young to know the amazingness of breasts." Jack says overdramatically with a knowing nod before looking away with a jealous glare as he mumbled 'Lucky Bastard' under his breath.
"I don't get it. What's so good about boobies?"
"It's nothing, Barry. Just forget about it...oh, and please, for the love of God, NEVER use your X-Ray Vision to look through people's clothes unless it's an emergency." Ichigo says with a stern glare as Barry gave him an odd look, but nodded as he then perked up when Barry heard the sounds of someone crying and screaming as the brown-haired boy turned his head and used his Superhuman Vision and X-Ray Vision to zoom in across the city as Barry was shocked to see a crying Molly being robbed by three people in an alleyway as one of them was holding her back and another was keeping lookout as the third man was going through her purse.
"Whoa! Jack! Ichigo! Molly is in danger!"
"What?!" An alarmed Jack and Ichigo asked in unison while standing up from the bench as Barry did the same.
"Yeah, she's on the other side of the city!" Barry yelled as Ichigo did a double take in confusion and shock.
"Wait...how is she on the other side of the city already? She literally just left a few minutes ago, and she doesn't have any Speed-like Quirks or any Quirks whatsoever."
"I don't know either, but there are three men who are holding her down and stealing from her purse! Quick! This way!" Barry screamed worriedly while running forward as Jack and Ichigo ran after him.
"Hey! Wait! Slow down!"
"No, you guys speed up!" Barry screamed with a grin while using his Superhuman Speed to run out of the park as he started zooming down the street of the city and was running so fast that he was practically a red/gray blur and easily outpaced all of the cars around him as Barry laughed loudly. "Ha, ha, ha! This is so amazing! Is this how it feels to have a Quirk?! I was seriously missing out! I've never run this fast before! It feels like my feet aren't even touching the ground-Whoa!" Barry shouted before yelping in surprise as he noticed that he couldn't feel the ground underneath him and looked down as the brown-haired boy was stunned to see that he was slowly floating off from the ground and was full-on soaring through the air.
"Holy moly! I can fly?!" A stunned Barry asked with a pale face as he flew forward and lost his balance as he flew in a circle and screamed in fright as Barry flew across the air uncontrollably while frantically dodging all of the incoming cars as he accidentally latch onto a car and scratched it with his nails, which were as sharp as swords now as Barry flew through a car window of a car door that a random civilian opened and he yelped in surprise. "This is so scary...yet so cool!" Barry yelled with a laugh and tears of joy rolling down his eyes, never feeling something as amazing as flying as Barry then flinched when he noticed a black truck driving in front of him and winced as he closed his eyes, being unable to stop flying as Barry crashed through it and left a large hole in it as he came out of the end while wearing an assortment of random prop clothes as the brown-haired boy then crashed through various garbage can and even a Newspaper Stand and a Telephone Booth as Barry zoomed off.
"Ow! Seriously?! Who still works at a Newspaper Stand!? And why are Telephone Booths still a thing?!" An annoyed Barry yelled while taking the newspaper off his face, and his eyes widened in shock when he noticed that he was heading straight towards an Office Building as Barry screamed loudly and bashed through the window as he arrived inside the building and began crashing through various cubicles, leaving behind various shocked and startled Officer Workers as Barry finally shoots through the building. "Okay, flying was scary, then awesome, and is now back to scary! How do I stop?!" Barry asked panickedly as he continued flying forward and finally arrived at the alleyway from where Molly can be seen still being robbed by the Three Thugs as Barry collided against a pile of trash and flew over to bang himself against the dumpster, sending it flying over to crash against the thug keeping lookout as it slammed him against a wall, knocking him out and spitting out blood as he falls down onto the ground.
"What the hell?!" A shocked Second Thug asked as he and his buddy turned their heads as they were in disbelief and surprise to see a screaming Barry sliding through the ground on a garbage can lid with Molly being too scared to turn around and see what was going on as the freaked out and wailing brown-haired boy slid over to collide against an old and dirty mattress bed as he was flung upwards and crashed against the fire escape with a soft grunt, denting it as Barry groaned...but then flinched as the fire escape creaked and was ripped out of the wall as a yelling Barry and the fire escape crashed down on top of the Thug stealing Molly's purse, knocking him out and injuring him as he dropped Molly's phone and it fell down into the ground, accidentally turning on its photo feature and taking a picture of Barry as the Thug holding Molly saw his unconscious friends around him and sweated nervously as he gulped fearfully.
"Oh, hell no!" The Thug screamed while turning around to run away as a groaning Barry sit up from the ground and pushed the fire escape away as the brown-haired boy then flinched when he noticed that the bad guy was getting away and stood up from the ground.
"HEY! GET BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!" Barry screamed firmly, accidentally activating her thunder roar as a big sonic soundwave flew over to collide against the Thug's back, sending him flying across the street as he crashed through the wall of the building in front of him, leaving a big hole in it as the Thug groaned in pain, but was thankfully still alive as Barry faltered a bit and looked around the alleyway as he winced at the destruction that he left behind and pouted somberly as Barry looked away before running out of the alleyway, leaving behind a dust cloud as a nervous Molly turned her head and was surprised to see the knocked out thugs around her as she then spotted her phone and walked over to bend down to grab it as Molly was surprised to see a blurry photo of a red/gray mysterious figure.
"Huff...huff...huff...okay...maybe Mom was right about her training my stamina..." A panting Jack says while running through Capital City as he followed the trail of destruction accidentally left behind by Barry and Ichigo was able to easily keep up with him as the Boys were finally able to arrive at the alleyway and spotted a bunch of Police Cars and Ambulances parked in front of it as a few Paramedics were loading up the unconscious thugs while the Police were talking with Molly.
"So, someone just swooped in and saved you? Was it a Pro Hero?"
"I'm not sure, Officer. I wasn't able to get a good look at him or her, but I know the mysterious savior was small and sounded quite young by the way he screamed. Here, I even took out a picture of him...well, somewhat." Molly says while taking out her phone to show a blurry photo of Barry as the Officer narrowed his eyes but nodded as Jack and Ichigo walked up to Molly.
"Molly, hey. I heard what happened. Are you okay?"
"Oh, yeah, I am. I was just telling these Officers about a Superhero saving me." Molly says with a smile as Jack and Ichigo blinked a couple of times before turning to grin at each other slyly as the Boys nodded, and an hour later, we cue at nighttime as we see Jack and Ichigo running back to the Unger House as the Boys began searching around for Barry as they made his way upstairs and heard sniffling nearby as the Boys walked over to open the door to the Guest Room and spotted something residing inside of the covers as Jack walked over to pull it off to see Barry crying on the bed.
"Barry? Are you okay, little dude?" Jack asked worriedly as Barry sniffled and turned to him with his red teary eyes.
"I'm sorry, Jack. I didn't mean to break those cars, or those garbage cans or that newspaper stand, or that building, or accidentally kill those people..."
"No, Barry, no, you didn't kill anyone."
"I didn't?" Barry asked hopefully as Jack nodded while sitting down on the bed.
"Yeah, they are just injured and are being taken to the hospital, so they are still alive, but anyway, Barry, you are a hero. You saved Molly."
"No, I don't want to be a hero anymore. My powers are too dangerous. I could hurt someone." Barry says somberly, not wanting to hurt or potentially kill anyone ever again as a sympathetic Ichigo reached over to place his hand on his shoulder reassuringly.
"Barry, yes, you made a lot of mistakes, but mistakes are inevitable, especially to a rookie like you. That's why it's important to learn from them so you can be a better Hero in the future." Ichigo says wisely as Jack nodded.
"Yeah, and remember when I said that just because someone's Quirk is powerful, it doesn't mean they are dangerous? Well, Barry, you literally got your powers yesterday. You still don't have control over them, but with some training, you can practically become the next All Might." Jack says with a big grin on his face as Ichigo nodded with a big smirk on his face.
"Hell, with your Powers, I can see you easily joining UA High School with me when we are older," Ichigo says as Barry stared at them in shock with hopeful wide eyes but then frowned solemnly as he looked away.
"But just because I have these powers, it doesn't make me a Hero. I mean, you have powers as well, and you are not a hero."
"Barry, being a Hero is not just about your powers but what you would do with them," Jack says before looking around as he then leaned over to him. "Look, don't tell anyone about this, but when I was your age, I was saved by an Underground Hero with Spider-Like Abilities, and he told me something that I will never forget."
"What's that?" Barry asked curiously as Jack glared at him seriously.
"With Great Power Comes Responsibility. That means Barry that when you can do the things that you can, but you don't and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you."
"Yeah, you have the power to protect people from bad people like Simon, but if you don't use them to help people like a hero should, then you might as well be the reason why innocent people got hurt," Ichigo says with a glare a silent Barry looked thoughtful about what the Boys said, and the brown-haired boy looked away quietly as he sighed heavily while shaking his head.
"Okay, okay, maybe you guys have a point, but can we please talk about this another day? And promise me that no one finds out about my Powers? Including Miss Unger." Barry says as the Boys pursed their lips in disapproval but nod as Jack's eyes then widened in horror and shock.
"Oh, fuck...Mom!" An alarmed Jack screamed worriedly as we then fast forward in time and we see the Boys frantically running around the house to clean up the mess that Barry accidentally made as Jack and Ichigo were quick to clean up the ravioli from the kitchen walls while Barry used his Super Strength to flip the couch back to where it was and used his Super Speed to run around and fixed up the furniture as he then turned to his friends.
"What about the window?" Barry asked while pointing at the window as Jack turned to it and walked over to pull up the curtains to cover up the window.
"Oh, genius!" The 8-year-olds complimented while giving him a thumbs up as Jack winked at them in gratitude but then flinched worriedly as the Trio heard a car parking outside.
"Oh, shit, it's my Mom! Quick, I will go out and distract her while you two stay here and finish cleaning everything up!" Jack instructed as Barry nodded and reached out to grab Ichigo's hand as they then speed off while the Teenage Boy made his way outside as he spotted his Mother getting out of the car while holding multiple bags filled with groceries as Jack walked over to her. "Mom, Mom. hey. Do you need help?"
"Hmmm, oh, sure, yeah, thanks. I had to buy some extra food and supplies for Barry. Poor thing ate our whole fridge this morning. Must've been starving for weeks." Danielle says with a concerned frown while handing the groceries over to her Son as she was about to walk in to check on Barry but was stopped by her Son.
"Hey, speaking of Barry, were you able to find any leads with his Parents?"
"Oh, not yet. My Friends are still investigating. It might take a while to search for Barry's Absent Parents, so he might stay for a while. Does that bother you?"
"Hmmm? Oh no, it doesn't at all." Jack says with a smile as Danielle gave him an odd look.
"Really? I thought you hated Barry?"
"What? Hate him? Nah, I don't, trust me. Barry and I got along pretty well when I came back. Heck, we even went to the Park and met up with someone who quickly became Barry's friend. They are even playing inside as we speak." Jack says as Danielle blinked in surprise before smiling warmly as she beamed.
"Awww, that sounds sweet, and you see? I knew that you Boys would get along. Ha, ha, you have no idea how happy I am right now. In fact, let's go out and celebrate together with Barry and his New Friend after we bring in the groceries." Danielle says while walking towards the door as she was about to open it, but then-
"No!" Jack screamed panickedly, alarming Danielle as she turned to him. "Uh...I mean, how about I put these Groceries inside, and then I will get Barry and Ichigo, and we can all leave together?"
"Uh, sure, let me just go in and change out of my Security Guard Uniform," Danielle says with a raised eyebrow as she was about to walk into her home but stopped as Jack awkwardly stood in front of her and leaned back against the door as Danielle stared at him suspiciously and her keen eyesight spotted something glinting in the corner of her as she turned over to see the broken window. "Son...what...happened?" Danielle asked sharply while gesturing at the broken window.
"Errr, well, you see, when Barry and I were leaving to hang out at a park, a Kid with his Mother walked by, and he screamed loudly and broke the window with his Quirk accidentally. Don't worry about the broken window, though. The woman left behind some money to be able to fix it." Jack lied as he looked away, silently bummed that he has to give away his money to fix the mirror but didn't want to give away Barry's secret.
"Uh huh," Danielle says with an unconvinced tone before pushing Jack away as the Former Police Chief stormed into her house and expected to see some kind of a big mess but ended up seeing Barry and Ichigo nonchalantly sitting on the couch, watching some cartoons.
"Oh, hey, Miss Unger!" Barry exclaimed while perking up at the sight of her as Ichigo waved at Danielle.
"Hello, Miss Unger. I'm Ichigo Kamado. Barry's friend. It's very nice to meet you."
"Uh, likewise, Ichigo," Danielle says with a surprised yet suspicious look in her eyes as she stepped forward and looked around as she couldn't find a single thing out of place. "Hey, Barry, how have you been? Was the Babysitter and Jack good to you and your New Friend?"
"Hmmm? Oh, yeah, they were great. The Babysitter fed me some ravioli, and Jack took me to the park, and we met up with Ichigo and had tons of fun with each other." Barry says with a nervous laugh and a sweatdrop on his head as Danielle glares at him, Jack, and Ichigo silently for a few seconds...before smiling brightly as she nodded.
"Well, good to know. Anyway, go upstairs and freshen yourself up, Barry. You too, Ichigo. I'm going to take us out to eat some Chinese Food."
"Oh, yum," Barry says while still keeping the fake smile as Danielle nodded and turned around to walk upstairs as the Boys turned to glance at each other...and sighed heavily in relief as Barry and Ichigo laid back against the couch while Jack kneeled down on the floor as they recovered from the tense ordeal. Meanwhile, elsewhere, we see a glaring Simon Bar Sinister and his wacky henchman Cad walking through the sewers and arrived at a large spacious room as the evil mad scientist's hair was frizzled and wild with a big bald spot on it, half of his face had second-degree burns, and his left leg was busted as it had a crutch on it and Simon could be seen walking with a limp as he had a walking stick at his disposal and had white bandages around his head.
"Yes. Yes, brilliant. Already the flames of inspiration are licking at my brain. Unencumbered, in this, my new laboratory."
"Kind of smells like a men's room," Cad stated bluntly as Simon turned to glare at him.
"We have to make do with what we have, Cad. We lost everything last night, and we are currently on the run from the police. We are so lucky that I had some connections in the hospital, or else my injuries would've never been healed without risking us getting arrested."
"I know, boss, but this seems like the wrong vibe for our work. Seems a little precocious...perspicacious...peppery...prim?"
"What?" A bewildered Simon asked while turning to Cad, who gave him a sheepish look as he held up his burnt dictionary.
"Sorry, Doc, most of my thesaurus burned up in the fire. All I've got left are the P's."
"Perfect," Simon says while ignoring Cad as he walked over to look around his new laboratory.
"Ooh. That's a good one. Can I use that?"
"Cad, the material I require is going to be expensive. We're going to need to find ways to subsidize my work." Simon says as Cad grinned widely and walked up to his boss.
"Well, Boss, I have some good news. I know some guys who just got out of the clink who can help us."
"Hmmm, are their Quirks substantial enough?" Simon asked while turning to Cad.
"Perhaps...bam!" Cad screamed while shining his flashlight at Simon's face, disorienting him a little bit as Cad laughed amusedly. "Ha, ha, nailed it."
