I don't own MHA, this story does contain themes of drug use, alcohol abuse, suicidal tendencies, depression, self harm, and other serious issues, read at your own discretion. It can be said that being strong comes naturally to most people, but others will say hardships make for greater strength, you be the judge. Can a young man who never knew his father's love ever be truly strong, or is he just broken without being dead, cry if you wish its ok. This sad tale will have a happy ending, one where villains are redeemed, and the heroes have too much time on their hands. The picture will become clearer with time, some of you may even see a lot coming, but as they say, the devil's in the details.
Chapter two :The fires of youth, young love, and notes of the future.
In this next chapter you all will learn about how he and Himiko fell in love, the start of All For One's downfall, plus his friendship with Dabi. Izuku might not be a hero in training yet, but that doesn't mean he can't be heroic, to tell this properly will take some time. Bear with him as the second chapter is told, one of young love, meeting a fire quirk user, and his efforts to help others. He may be considered a dreamer to most, but you all will get a front row seat to the truth of the matter, enjoy the ride everyone.
Izuku stood in front of the door to Eraserhead's house and fidgeted nervously dark circles under his eyes. He was afraid to sleep again after that last dream he had, having stayed awake by forcing himself to keep moving and not stop. The door opened and Ms. Joke stood there a little confused, her looking the young man over slowly. Noticing the dark circles she asked, "so young man who are you and why are you here exactly?"
He flinched almost as if her voice was a cannon going off, then said, "I'm Izuku Midorya, and my quirk is being weird. Two nights ago I had done my usual pre-sleep routine, but wasn't able to control my dream like usual, then fell to my death." Her eyes were wide with shock and she grabbed his arms asking for the details, as they came horror replaced the shock. As he was finishing describing how he watched the life draining from his eyes, she was texting Midnight.
She had tried to call when he said he died in the dream but Midnight didn't answer, he said, "she doesn't usually answer. I'm pretty sure she is in a session right now if my memory is correct" ,he pulls out a notebook labeled, "possible futures." Flipping through the pages he starts to ask about things that had or might have happened recently for them.
Ms. Joke said, "well recently she found out that she was pregnant, and has been doing less hero work, also got engaged." Izuku's eyes went wide and he asked, "is her fiancée's name Sikuro, Myonaki, or Byokyu?" ,she held two fingers up. Sighing softly he said, "of course, the darkest possible one" ,then tore out a couple pages handing them over.
Even more confused now she took the pages and started to read them, it told how said fiancée might die soon. After reading them fully she looked at him eyes full of skepticism, a tinge of anger, and some fear also only to see sadness. Her heart dropped and she asked, "j-just who are you kid and how the hell do you know all this!?!?" ,he sighed. After that he started saying, "my quirk is called Déjà Vu with it I can see possible future events, and bring others along. If they were there when it happened they will inhabit the body they had during the dream, if not they are more ghostly."
The details just kept flowing out, her skepticism was replaced by cold dread, at the end she said, "wow I can't even… If I couldn't tell you were telling the truth my first reaction would be to claim this is some sort of sick joke, damn it." Her phone was in her hand and she called Shota now, he surprisingly answered on the third ring. The first words out of her mouth preempted his question as she said, "there's a kid here who can see the future. The things he knows are scary as hell, he knew Midnights pregnant, she is engaged, her fiancée's name, and more. Speaking of I uh apparently am pregnant as well, so uh well" ,she trailed off and then waited for him to respond.
Hearing him groan and then sigh she knew what was coming, then said, "I'm not joking, he is standing in front of me!" The panic and worry in her voice obvious, he said two things, "don't let him leave, I'm on my way" ,then hung up. Before she could speak her phone rang and she looked at the name, then answered it saying, "it's not a joke. He is standing right here with me, he knows all our names, about your pregnancy, and how your quirk works Shota is coming home."
There was no answer at first and then a shaky voice asks, "a-and you are sure he i-isn't lying about a-anything? You just t-told me the love of my l-life is supposed to die on patrol the day o-our daughter comes into t-this world!" The sound of soft sobs is coming out of the phone now as Midnight can't help but cry, hoping against hope that he is lying. Or some sort of spy sent by the villains to try and undermine the heroes, to cause them to fail at their jobs.
Ms. Joke says, "I'm sure, the pages he handed me have too many details he could never know, but it's ok. They also tell of ways he can prevent that fate, just get here as soon as possible, he was afraid to sleep at all last night. According to what he told me he can only use his quirk when he is asleep, also he knows about "him" and his plans. That in itself is worth the risk, he also wants to be a therapist and hero, with more emphasis on the former than the latter."
A few seconds pass and then a still shaky but better voice says, "I'll be there in ten, get him some chamomile tea. Put on some soft music, something that will help him relax, and give him something to eat, chances are he is hungry." With that last part said she hangs up and Ms. Joke leads Izuku inside following her instructions to the letter. By the time both Eraserhead and Midnight arrive he is yawning, but fighting the desire to sleep, pinching or hitting a leg to stay awake.
As the door opens Ms. Joke is flipping through a notebook, two others on the coffee table, Shota written on one cover. The other has Midnight's real name on it, Ms. Joke says, "you two will want to read them, this is some serious stuff." Raising an eyebrow Shota walks over and he says, "Emi you were so worried before, this is not making much sense." Midnight however had walked over and picked up the notebook with her name on it, opening it up to the first page.
As she was reading she saw something move out of the corner of her eye and heard the smack of a fist on flesh. Looking at Izuku who had hit himself she said, "that's not healthy to do, you could end up hurting yourself. Just try to relax, go to sleep it's ok young man" ,before she could continue he said, "page fifty six through eight." She looked at him seeing his eyes were closed, then confused did as he had said, or tried to, one page catching her attention. As she read it she could feel a pit in her stomach and her heart fluttered, almost as if she were dying. Her eyes snapped up and she asked, "w-what's this here about my d-d-death?!?!" ,and saw him flinch, eyes opening. His head moved as he said, "exactly what's written there, but that future is n-not likely, or at least not anymore hopefully."
"Also ow" ,he said the last part in a deadpan voice and didn't move to hit himself again, his head slowly moving. His whole body looked tense as he was doing this and then Izuku's right eye closed in a wince of pain, before he said it again. Then he started to laugh softly, but a few seconds later said, "dam-darn it, first one ever, I didn't expect it to be like this. Well now I really regret being awake over twenty four hours, ugh that is not fun" ,he had winced twice while taking.
Grabbing his chin with one hand and the back of his head with the other he twisted his neck, sickening pops ringing out. Midnights eyes opened in shock as she thought he had just snapped his own neck, then he twisted it the other way. Before she could even ask he said, "page forty two, bottom half, right after it says "my stepfather and brothers who I will always love."" Raising her eyebrows both at that she replies, "cheeky little shit, ok if you know so much what do I name my daughter?" He smiled and then says, "you would find out just by reading the book but you decided to go with Satsuki."
This time she followed his instructions to the letter, it said, "my joints like to dislocate themselves, I crack my own neck. Don't worry at this point I have, or will have over three years of experience doing so, also if you hear me deadpan ow it's a tension headache. Trust me those apparently aren't fun, it's caused by a muscle or muscles being too tight and pulling. Each time I wince it, according to my older self, feels like an ice pick is being stabbed into the same spot in my head. These can last for days, usually caused by stress, but are relatively harmless, I would suggest getting me on a low dose muscle relaxers."
After reading that she looked up at him and whispers, "just who is this kid, he explains everything with so much detail." Then she saw him wince twice in rapid succession, grabbing his head as a couple tears came out of his eyes. She then whispered, "almost like he knew what questions I would ask, or a therapist" ,then went to page fifty six. As she read it her eyes began to tear up, it explained how he knows self harm is bad, he has never cut himself, and more. Reading along it goes on to describe his quirk works, two dreams that followed, plus how he wants to be like her.
By the this time she is ready to use her quirk Sonombulist to put him to sleep, but she sees the words there. It says, "don't put me to sleep with no warning, my quirk requires me to focus on it before sleeping, that is very important. Here is an example of some dreams I had before mastering my quirk" ,and it starts to describe said dreams. Some are just weird, like him being able to fly without wings by running and then flinging his arms wide, others sound like a horror movie. One half of page fifty eight is about a dream where him and his mom are in a hotel with no way out, many people trying to kill them.
Reading that last part she sighed and shook her head saying, "ok Izuku this all sounds crazy but you are serious. I can't even imagine how you would know some of the things about me unless I had told you myself" ,rubbing her temple. While the back and forth between him and Midnight was going on Shota and Emi were taking in hushed whispers, reading their books. At that time Shota says, "I think it's about time you show us this quirk of yours, bring Emi along."
Izuku nodded and then says, "of course, so you can use yours to stop mine if things look bad, I fully understand. You know she has to be in physical contact with me when I fall asleep and be asleep herself when this happens right? If she tries to enter when I'm already asleep and the dream starts it won't work" ,he nods and says, "I'm aware. Ok so you wrote about a nightly routine, but don't go into what that routine is, what do you need to do?" ,he asks.
His answer to that question is slow to come, but a few seconds later Izuku says, "I mix a little blood into some juice. Cranberry juice is the best I've found, oddly enough the copper and iron taste mix well with the bitter and sour juice. It doesn't have to be much blood, or even mine, I have my mom buy it from a butcher shop the fresher it is the better. After a month or so it doesn't work at all, and can even block me from using my quirk if it's older than that."
By the end all eyes are on him and two pairs look queasy one has a hint of suspicion, he nods though. A few minutes later Izuku is holding a small glass of orange juice, the blood already mixed in a couple drinks it's gone. Then he closes his eyes and starts to breathe slowly, before asking, "Emi what do you want to see?" She thinks for a moment then says, "I want to see your first time seeing Eri, please" ,Izuku's eyes snap open. He then says, "ok then but I'm warning you now it's not pretty, you read about it but seeing it is something else entirely. When I wake up every time after that one I have to run to the bathroom to avoid getting sick in my bed."
Her eyes are determined and he just nods then says, "ok then, give me a few minutes to focus, when I nod it's time." His eyes close for a third time and he starts to cry even as his breathing is slowing, Emi is beside him her hand on his. A minute or so later he nods firmly, within seconds he is asleep, his eyes starting to glow, Emi asleep as well. The dream starts with him walking down the street and a voice asking, "so little bro how have you been lately?" ,tinged with sadness.
Looking ahead he has a determined expression on his face and then he says, "not bad some days are worse than others. How is Jiriku doing by the way?" ,his eyes on an alley ahead of them around half the block ahead of them, Emi watches. A minute or two later they walk near to the alley the sound of fast footsteps coming down it, then a soft gasp as Eri runs into him. Izuku immediately keeps her from falling over and looks over at Mirio, who looks at them both then whispers, "now?" A subtle nod is his only answer, as Izuku asks , "are you all right young lady?" ,her trembling in fear and worry. Emi gets closer to them both, noticing the bandages wrapped around the girl's arms and legs, gasping softly.
Izuku looks over at her and softly whispers, "it gets worse" ,he then picks Eri up and she says, "please help me." Her voice almost too soft to be heard, Emi is crying at this point, both in the dream and out of it, then Chisaki walks out. Seeing him she whispers, "oh no, don't tell me t-that he is the one" ,Izuku answers with another subtle nod. Eri is shaking even more the closer he gets to them all, Mirio looking at the spot Izuku had looked at knowing someone else is there.
The conversation goes swiftly and a few moments later they follow him into the alley, him monologuing as he walks. The last thing he says is, "children can be so stubborn, always fighting against those who know what's best" ,removing a glove. Eri jumps out of Izuku's arms and runs over to him, as he asks, "oh, finally done with your little temper tantrum?" ,him picking her up. She is trembling worse than ever as she nods and he puts a hand on her head saying, "good, I'd hate to get my hands dirty." As the last words pass his lips she goes limp in his arms, head falling onto his shoulder, Emi is screaming at this point.
As both snap back awake and she runs towards the bathroom Izuku sits there biting his lip hard, stomach churning. As the sound of vomiting comes out of the bathroom he can't help but feel bile rising in his own throat at what he just saw. Shota holds out a small trash can and says, "here use this Izuku, I'd rather not have vomit on my favorite rug." Grabbing it Izuku stops fighting the urge to throw up, Midnight looks a bit queasy as well asking, "it's that bad?"
Even as he gets sick he nods, then in a rough voice says, "that one is a dream I'd rather never have again. A scared little girl who is being used for experiments dies in her tormenter's arms, while I can't help her at all!!! Only to be brought back by said man all so he can perfect a drug that permanently destroys quirks, and another that restores them." Emi comes back in as she asks, "so why exactly aren't you telling more people about these things Izuku?" ,her eyes full of tears. He says, "the liberation army has heroes in it acting as spies" ,then starts to list the names he knows about.
As he talks he starts to pull more notebooks out of his bag, in various colors, on each is the real first name of a hero. One who either works at UA or the school that Emi works at, he then says, "these are very personal, I'm trusting you. Give them to the people who they are about" ,then he pulls out even more, all red, with All For One on the cover. Then he says, "these are what I know about "him" keep a copy each and memorize it, then destroy it."
"If this information falls into the wrong hands not only are the heroes through but the normal citizens will die by the thousands." Shota is already reading one and he then reads out loud, "Nomu, they are extremely dangerous, with multiple quirks each, do not engage. Ok what the fuck kid?" ,he asks, Emi grabs a copy and starts to open it, but he stops her, shaking his head then says, "no. You will want to read this one on an empty stomach, especially since you are pregnant" ,she nods scared.
A few more hours pass this way, Izuku being pumped for information, and getting another meal to replace what he threw up. By the end of it all he can barely keep his eyes open, he then is told to get some sleep, then his eyes glow. Izuku's quirk activates as he is still awake, he sees a scene play out in front of him, a city in ruins and on fire. Then he slumps over asleep from exhaustion, the other three in the room didn't miss what just happened, talking about it.
They continue, Emi covering him with a blanket, as the day wears on while he sleeps the heroes come and go. Each one receives two notebooks, one about them, one about "him" with the same warning to burn after reading and memorizing it. Around dusk is when Izuku finally wakes back up, the smell of cooking food and his stomach growling doing it. As he starts to sit up a deep and energetic voice that just screams power asks, "and you are sure he isn't a spy? These details are something else Eraser, he could have been lying about everything" ,All Might says. Izuku says, "hey there Toshi-sensei I hope you are doing well" ,there's a gasp and a chuckle from the direction of the voice.
A second later there's a groan and Shota says, "welcome back to the grind, the food is almost done kid. So what was that dream about?" ,he asks, the sound of a pen writing can be heard as he writes new details about the Hosu incident. Then Izuku replies, "the attack on Hosu by Shaggy and the league of villains, something changed." He describes how one of his friends in the hero course attacked the hero killer, barely being saved by Shoto, and himself.
All Might listens to what he is saying and then in a voice with some anger in it asks, "what proof do you have? Yes there's no way you could know some of these things, but a lot could be pulled from the media" ,walking over. Izuku smirks and says, "Grand Torino, also I'm sorry your predecessor died the way she did. Oh also this" ,before All Might can ask anything Izuku is making a phone call, on speaker phone Mirio answers. He says, "hey there Izu-bro you caught me just finishing up my homework, hope you and mom are doing well still." Izuku says, "I'm at Eraser's house All Might is here, tell them what I put in your notebook about them both please." A second or two later the sound of paper comes over the phone and he starts to read, it describes the fight in Kamino with All For One. Then a moment later before either of them can react other than a shocked expression he describes how Shota teaches.
After that Izuku says, "thank you Miri-bro and to answer your question not good, but we will never stop loving you all. Keep Pops safe, remember to visit for any updates on possible changes in the future, and enjoy your time at UA." All Might and Shota are both whispering, a plate of food being set in front of Izuku by Emi, then she starts eating. Izuku does the same and asks, "are they always like that?" ,she looks over then smiles nodding as the men converse. She then says, "it's a bit odd to see sometimes but Shota is rather passionate even though he doesn't seem that way. That's one of the things which made me love him, and the desire to make him laugh so hard he falls over one day" ,getting a chuckle from Izuku.
After they finish eating Emi says, "there's a small bedroom at the top of the stairs, you can sleep there for the night. I just want to say you are a hero, those notebooks will save lives, if used properly, go sleep knowing you did good." Izuku smiles and then nods, getting up and heading towards the bedroom, taking his backpack with him. About a hour later he is asleep again, his body relaxing as some of the stress he carries from the secrets leaves it.
The next morning he wakes up feeling better than he had in years, as he goes to sit up he feels a weight on his chest. Looking down he sees a pair of emerald green eyes looking at him, a cat lying on his chest and purring. Reaching out Izuku gently scratches the cat behind the ear and asks, "comfortable there little fuzzball?" His only response is a soft meow followed by more purring, then the cat gets up, walking over to the door it heads off. Grabbing his backpack he follows and finds Emi eating some breakfast, she says, "yours is in the kitchen. I wasn't sure when you would wake up so it's in the fridge, should still be hot" ,Izuku thanks her and gets it, eating as well. Then after he is done he says, "ok so I have to go now, things to take care of and all that, tell Shota and Midnight thanks. Also we will save Eri, even if it kills me, or more preferably Chisaki" ,then he walks out the front door heading towards the city.
By mid morning Izuku is in the same area where he should meet Dabi, having rented a room in one of the hotels. Knowing which ones to avoid even as he takes in the seedy and slightly decrepit room paid off, the next two days pass in a blur. Him going out daily to search for Dabi, listening to rumors that are being spread, then going back to the hotel each night. Just after noon the third day after he ran away from home he hears a woman screaming and pleading for help. Then he hears her start to thank someone, the smell of fire and burning flesh lingering nearby, he takes off running towards the sound.
As he approaches he hears the woman say, "w-wait what are you doing, n-no please no!" ,and he yells, "Dabi no!!!" The next second he is in the alleyway, running over he says, "don't do it you don't have to, she doesn't want to hurt you." She is lying in the street her clothes half torn off as she sobs, the assailant dead nearby, Dabi standing there confused. Then asks, "oh what are you going to do if I don't stop, use your quirk to try and rescue her like some sort of hero?"
Izuku chuckles and says, "that would be a feat, especially since I'm quirkless, you just saved her life Dabi! Don't throw that away just because you think she will hate you for what you did, you aren't one who should be that way." Dabi looks from Izuku to the woman and makes a fist, his eyes full of anger, shame, as well as hope. She is starting to calm down, gathering her things and hears, "get out of here, before I change my mind." At that she rushes off and Dabi turns to face Izuku then says, "you should get out of here also before I turn you into a piece of charcoal." Izuku shakes his head and says, "no I'm not going to run from one of my best friends, oh and by the way sorry about lying. My quirk is one that is more useful for information gathering, follow me and get ready to have your world turn upside down."
Then he starts talking even as he walks, Dabi follows curious and a bit confused, soon he says, "your crazy kid. Even if what you just told me is true, why would I ever try to make up with that bastard?" ,he asks Izuku. They are sitting in the hotel, and small fires are erupting on Dabi's skin, his curiosity slowly being replaced by anger. The next words stop that anger cold, Izuku says, "you do it for your mother, who started to forgive him, after she spent years in a mental hospital. This was because of something she did to Shoto, which is something that you missed" ,he goes on to tell what happened. That story brings back the anger, but he says, "no tell me you are wrong, please" ,a firm shake of the head is his answer.
He turns to glare out the window and says, "fuck ok so you told me you have some plan go on" ,a soft sigh fills the air. Then a notebook is handed over one with Touya written on it, another soon following that says All For One, blue and red. As Dabi opens the notebook about him Izuku says, "you will want to read the other one and destroy it after, trust me. If any of what I wrote in it gets back to "him" well" ,he starts to describe what he has seen in future's where that happened.
As he talks Dabi's eyes fill with dread, then he says, "damn that's messed up, ok I'll make sure he never gets it. Any of it" ,then shakes his head asking, "tell me this though, how the ever loving fuck are you not totally bonkers kid?" Izuku laughed at that and says, "oh I am, just I know it and choose to direct my anger towards "him" Dabi." They continue to talk for a few minutes, the plan Izuku came up with is explained, and how Dabi is an integral part.
The next thing he does is say, "oh right I uh just figured out how to activate my quirk while being awake two days ago. When I nod touch my hand be prepared to see your family as well, don't fight against your instincts in this scene. Except for the burning anger you feel to your dad, I've avoided bad scars so far in my life" ,closing his eyes. A minute later he nods, as soon as he feels the hand touch him he actives his quirk, going into the second dream his quirk showed.
They both sit there and watch not saying anything in person as the vision plays out before their eyes. Dabi chuckles at them singing about being crazy and in therapy and laughs outright at the video of him breaking the pan and brick. By the end of it all playing out he is calm and asks, "so who is this current therapist I'm supposed to have?" Or he appears to be calm he moves away from Izuku, picturing the man he had just hugged, and wondered just who it was.
Izuku smiled at that and then said, "oh right you will like her, also despite how she acts she is very much in love." Then he started to describe Midnight to Dabi, even showing him a picture of her in full costume, smirking as he did. The look of slight surprise was one he would never forget till his dying day, and he said, "yeah it's something else." Izuku and Dabi continued to talk then exchanged phone numbers, a hour or two later Izuku left the room heading for his home. The last thing he said to Dabi was, "the room is paid for through next weekend, feel free to stay here till then. Also please try not to kill anyone else if they don't deserve it, men like the one you killed today, each death is like ending a world."
Dabi sat there and was thinking out loud, "damn this is all so crazy, kid you are one bold little fucker, but thanks. Ok so the first thing I need to do is join up with this Shiragaki, and then try to curb his murderous behavior, fuck it all." Even as he is talking he uses his quirk to burn a mark into his skin, like some sort of sick tattoo. There are just under thirty marks on his left arm, each one had come after he killed somebody with his quirk.
The next few weeks pass in a blur, if he isn't working on mastering the new aspect of his quirk Izuku works out. The day he got home he learned about his grandfather, that he had two years left at best, this lighting a fire in him. In school he would pay attention to what was going on, and even though he didn't need to study he did so daily. One day he was just minding his own business as the teacher called a classmate of his to the front of the room.
This boy was the only bully in school dumb enough to mess with Bakugo's childhood friend, doing so every day. His favorite taunt to use was to call him quirkless, the only reason Bakugo hadn't stepped in was at Izuku's request. The boy walked past his desk and used his tail to swipe at the books on the surface, scattering them. Then with a grin on his face he turned and practically yelled, "OOPS SORRY" ,in the most sarcastic way he possibly could. Izuku stood up and did start yelling, tears running down his cheeks eyes flashing blue for a split second. "YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT, TELL ME WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU MOTHER FUCKER?!?! ARE YOU SO PETTY THAT YOU NEED TO CAUSE OTHERS TO FEEL LIKE THE DICK YOU ARE?!?!" ,going to hit him. Then the teacher says, "Izuku stop go calm down in the hallway, you come here right now young man." Izuku didn't bother to do anything but listen and walked out of the room heading to sit under a nearby window.
Hunched over he let himself cry, the anger and frustration he felt being washed away, glad the teachers knew about him. If he had truly been quirkless he couldn't imagine them doing anything to try stopping the bullying. Around five minutes later he was calming down, his tears slow to stop, five minutes after that he sat there. His tears had finally dried and he let out a sigh, his head around six centimeters from the brick wall behind it. That's when the door to the room opened, out walked the bully, he walked over with a grin full of confidence and anger kicked Izuku in the face. Izuku's head snapped backwards and cracked against the bricks behind it, a sharp crack sounded from the brick.
Looking up at the boy he sighed and then asks, "is that all you got?" ,his voice steady with no hint of any pain. His eyes were glowing blue and the look of confusion was soon overtaken by one of fear, Izuku saying, "you idiot. The only reason Kaachan hasn't beat your ass is because I deemed you unworthy of such a thing. Don't think I'll be able to stop him after he hears about this little stunt though" ,then he glances behind himself. Seeing the brick with a small piece busted in a grin forms on Izuku's face and he shifts to one side so the other boy can see. Watching as the fear in his eyes turns to horror, Izuku then says, "you are lucky it was me, pretty much anyone else would be dead. Think about that next time you feel like lashing out in anger, now leave me alone or I'll beat your fucking ass."
Around a month later that boy had transferred schools, his parents and him even going so far as to move. It was after that happened that Izuku told Bakugo about what happened in the hallway with the bully, smiling the whole time. Bakugo was needles to say pissed as hell, but he calmed down after hearing how Izuku dealt with the bully. The next month both of them spent every single minute they weren't studying working on getting stronger however they could.
Around three months after he met Dabi Izuku is walking past an alleyway then hears a girl's voice ask, "but why not? She can't love you as much as I do, not even by half" ,then a young man's voice replies how he doesn't care. While that is going on Izuku is calling Dabi, the second he answers Izuku says, "the timeline shifted, get here now!" Hanging up he sends the location and then grabs a broken piece of glass off the ground rushing to stop Himiko from killing the boy. The screams start just as he gets close enough to see them both, her using a knife to attack the boy who is trying to defend himself. Using the glass to cut his arm halfway between the wrist and elbow he yells, "Himiko stop, he isn't worth it!" Then before she can react he pushes his bleeding arm against her mouth saying, "drink it's ok I know" ,she sobs. While she is starting to drink the boy from before says, "wow what a freak" ,earning a glare from Izuku even as he hugs her.
Izuku had recognized the boy that she was confessing her love for, it was the same bully that had kicked him. The next words out of Izuku's mouth make him regret what he said, they are, "oh yeah, fuck off, you don't know her. Her quirk is fueled by blood, it's not something she wants to do but needs to, she would slowly starve to death without it. You run away now little man, before my friend gets here, he isn't nearly as forgiving as I am" ,cold fury in his eyes.
As he runs away at that she pulls away from Izuku's arm and asks, "w-who are you that you know so much about me?" ,while sobbing. Izuku's eyes glow as his quirk activates then he sees her in bed lying beside him, stomach swollen with his baby, her tracing the scar from today. Knowing that she can see that as well he says, "someone who knows you aren't a bad person and that you deserve love. Even if others would call you a freak or monster, now are you still thirsty?" ,at the same time he asks that she is thanking him. In the vision of the future she says, "if not for you that day I don't know what my life would have become, I love you Izubae."
Nodding as she without thinking echoes the nickname, "Izubae?" ,the vision continues and the sound of a door opening is heard. Kyoka and Mei enter the bedroom, drawing both their eyes to the ladies, both in their pajamas, a large T-shirt and knee length shorts. As they walk over to the bed the younger Himiko asks, "a-am I going crazy?" ,Izuku explains even as they lay together. She listens and watches as their two wives join them in bed, both pregnant as well them all cuddling and slowly falling asleep.
Just before they all can fall asleep Himiko says, "ow, oh damn it, Izuku it's time, my water just broke" ,his eyes open. Then he nods saying, "ok my Himi" ,which sounds more like hime, shaking Kyoka awake, Mei is already getting up. As that is going on he lets his quirk deactivate, her mouth is pressed against the cut, and she is drinking again. She then says, "thank you, I was just so angry at him, if you hadn't stopped me I'd be drinking his blood right now. It doesn't taste nearly as good as yours" ,he is rubbing her back and smiles saying, "oh I know, I remember tasting it in one dream. One where I was too late to stop you, it tasted rotten and a bit bitter" ,a couple minutes later Dabi walks up. He looks at us both and says, "shit dude you move fast" ,as he sees her practically cuddling up against Izuku.
He walks over and she looks up at him blushing then Izuku says, "yeah I uh showed her our future, or part of it." Taking the medical blood packs from him Izuku uses her knife to open one then slip the rest into her bag while sitting there. She takes the pack from him and asks, "Izuku who is this and why is he here?" ,then starts to drink the blood. The explanation starts and she looks between us both by the end, her expression one of gratitude saying, "ok then. Dabi my number is" ,and says her phone number, he types it into his phone and sends her a text right away. The notification ding comes through and she throws the blood pack onto the ground finally satisfied.
They all talk and Himiko gets up, she then takes the notebook Izuku offers to her, only getting one about her. She opens it and starts to read it the first dozen pages about what would have happened if Izuku hadn't stopped her. As she is reading she feels tears streaming down her face and she asks, "I k-killed that many people?" Her heart heavy, she then says, "i-it says here I even t-tried to kill you Izubae" ,Izuku hugs her and says, "shhh. It didn't happen not this time, you are still my untainted Himi and don't forget it" ,a smile on his face as she nods.
Then as she and Izuku talked she said, "just because you stopped me doesn't mean I'll fall for you. Still thank you nonetheless, so what now?" ,she asks as Izuku is bandaging his arm with Dabi's help. They both start explaining his plan and how she can help them, Dabi will be his agent in the shadows, her his in the light. Two sides of a coin, one that almost both became twisted with darkness that would take years to wash away, if ever. Around six months later she had asked him out and without hesitating he agreed, their first date a trip to the movies. They took their relationship slowly, not wanting to ruin something so pure with regrets and sorrow, falling in love.
The next two years seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, Himiko was in her first year at UA, and dating Izuku. His influence slowly grew over those two years, gaining more allies on both sides of the struggle, all for one goal. His favorite one was a man who was always arguing with himself, he was always good for a laugh, and more. The last year of his time in middle school was just starting when he met two young ladies, both unique, both struggling.
A lot has happened in this chapter, in the next he will be meeting Kyoka and Mei, also some other important bits and pieces. That's all for this chapter, thank you for checking it out, some of the previous two chapters things actually happened to me by the way. Nothing bad or too bad at least, just him falling to his death in that dream, having a head hard enough to dent or break something, and the details of that note about his grandfather and stepfather. Also that scene with the bully, except my head didn't crack the brick that it smacked into, everything else is true though just fyi everyone. Also for the note just the "he left us and then grandpa got sick part" well I'm going to call this video over now, don't forget to like and subscribe! Wait a minute…. Damn it! :P
