In the streets of Japan...
Chrysalis struggled to keep flying as she headed back to the cave. Her wings were barely holding up, and she kept falling towards the ground. Every time she got close to the ground, she was able to pick herself up. She held her arm, feeling really numb from Kaminari's attack. Her body felt a numbing sensation from it and tried to keep going.
"Come on," Chrysalis said to herself, "I've gotta make it back in time."
Chrysalis could soon see the beach in the distance and kept flying towards it. Her wings felt so damaged that she could barely move them. She was trying her best to keep going, but ended up falling to the ground once she got to the cave. She struggled to get up, but eventually did and walked into the cave. She had to lean on the cave to keep walking through it.
Her wings hurt so bad that she didn't think she'd be able to fly for a long time. All she could think about was getting Izuku in that moment. Just thinking about One for All made her mouth water. She really needed to get back to HawkMoth. He was waiting for her in the cave. As she got further away from U.A., she felt her frustration growing. Especially towards Bakugo. He got in the way, just like Uraraka did in Paris.
"Katsuki... You will pay for this..." Chrysalis growled.
Once she got into the spacious area of the cave, she spotted HawkMoth looking at some crystals. He spotted her and ran over to her the instant she saw that she was injured.
"What the? What happened?" HawkMoth asked her.
"Katsuki happened," Chrysalis said back, "He used his stupid quirk on me. So did that dumb blond guy with an electric quirk. He got me by surprise."
"But what about Izuku?" HawkMoth asked her.
Chrysalis couldn't help but smile widely once he said his name.
"He's fine. I just need to rest," Chrysalis said back to him.
Chrysalis walked up to the cave and looked around it. She felt something telling her to use her silk coming out of her mouth. Something about it felt absolutely repulsive, but she started to do it all around the walls of the cave. She ended up creating a spot to basically rest for a bit. Then she realized that she had just created a cocoon.
Soon enough, she felt herself start to drift asleep.
Chrysalis even if she were asleep, she could feel her wings forming and healing. She felt so relaxed and calm that she just let the cocoon heal her all the way. In the cocoon, all she could think about was Midoriya.
"Izuku Midoriya... One for All... You will be mine soon enough..."
In Midoriya's dorm room...
Midoriya paced his dorm room, wondering what the heck Chrysalis was doing at a time like this. He didn't want to be thinking of her, but then realized that she was hurt.
Lila was hurt.
Something about it made him feel a little nervous for her. He wanted to help her, but then his arm twitched. It reminded him that he couldn't leave with his arm being hurt this badly. For some reason, he didn't allow Ladybug to heal him. Something about it bothered him, and he tried to shake it off. An image of Chrysalis's wings and eyes came into his mind. It gave him a slight headache, but then he felt like he had to get out of there to help her.
Midoriya opened his balcony and looked out to see that it was starting to rain a little. He stepped out and gripped onto the railing. He really wanted to go after her, but without his Miraculous he couldn't do that. Something about it still got him to at least try to get to her. Before he could go after her however, he heard a knock at the door.
Midoriya snapped out of it and slammed the door shut. He walked over to the door and opened it to see AllMight and his mom together. Something about seeing them together and looking worried for him got him to at least grow curious as to what they were doing here. They even had some cardboard and duct tape for his window that was broken and damaged from Chrysalis breaking in.
"Hey Young Midoriya," AllMight said to him, "May we come in?"
Midoriya hesitated, but eventually let them come inside. His mom looked around his room, and then he realized that his mom had never been in his room before.
"Wow! Your room looks almost identical to your room back home," His mom said to him, "I shouldn't be surprised. You took most of your stuff here."
His mom sat down on his bed, and AllMight got ready to tape up some cardboard. It was pretty quiet as AllMight put it up to make sure no rain got inside of his room. Midoriya sat on his bed, still wondering about Chrysalis, but he definitely felt slightly better once they showed up. Once they settled down in his room, his mom placed her hand onto his which caught his attention. She smiled and he still felt a little off for some reason.
Once AllMight was done, he let out a sigh and sat down on Midoriya's desk chair. AllMight and the others just finally felt like they could relax. Midoriya still felt like he wanted to go help Lila. He could feel them both staring at him and wondered what they were going to say to him with them being alone together.
"Young Midoriya," AllMight said to him finally, "I know things are a little weird for you right now, but you should really let Young Uraraka and Bakugo help you."
"Yeah," Midoriya's mom said back as she held his hand, "Especially Ladybug. She can heal you, right? Once she heals you, you can help them in anyway that you can."
For some reason, Midoriya didn't pull away from his mom's touch. He noticed this and wondered why this felt more comforting than Uraraka's touch in the moment. He stopped questioning it and looked up at his mom and AllMight. They both had concerned looks on their faces, but he still felt a little tug towards Chrysalis. It wasn't as strong as before, but he could still feel it.
"I'm sorry... I just..." Midoriya said to them, "I just feel a little off today... I didn't mean to slap Kacchan or treat Ochaco like that. I just feel like Lila needs me."
Midoriya looked at AllMight and his mom and knew that they were trying to get him to settle down. He didn't want to, but he noticed that he started to feel a little tired. Then he felt his arm twitch, causing him to grip his shoulder. Midoriya's mom got him to let go, and she checked on it for him. He had a bandage on it from Recovery Girl, and his mom quickly took a peek at it. Midoriya could tell that it wasn't looking very good.
"Izuku, can't I please go get Ladybug to heal you?" Midoriya's mom asked him, "I really think you should at least get it healed up before going to bed."
"N-No. It's fine," Midoriya said back through the pain, "I want her to get some rest. I can handle this."
Midoriya then noticed that AllMight was looking at something on his desk. It was the keychain that Midoriya gave him the day at the museum. AllMight grabbed it and noticed how upset he looked.
"Don't forget. You're doing this to get One for All back," AllMight said to him, "I want you to feel better so you can become a great hero someday. You can't help Lila without first healing yourself."
Midoriya felt annoyed even when he didn't want to. He looked back at the keychain, but all he could see was Chrysalis's wings. He was starting to feel a little dizzy, that he had to grip onto his bedsheet.
"He's right. This power that you were given. It's clearly important," Midoriya's mom said to him, "I know for the most part what's going on. AllMight told me about One for All."
Midoriya definitely didn't expect this and felt himself get a little upset. He wanted to be the one to tell her, not AllMight. Then another image of Chrysalis's wings came up, and he felt a little out of it. He felt his grip on his bedsheets tightened up, feeling a little frustrated.
"I know that you're upset, but I had to tell her," AllMight said to him, "You're hurt, and Inko is worried about you."
Something about AllMight calling his mom Inko felt a little weird to him. He even noticed him looking at her like he was interested in her. Midoriya didn't mind them dating, but something in this moment along with him feeling a little out of it didn't feel right.
"I know that. I just... I can't believe you told her without even asking or saying anything to me," Midoriya said to him, "I want to get One for All back, but Lila is more important... S-She's hurt..."
Midoriya noticed the look that he was getting from his mom and AllMight and couldn't take this anymore. He got up and tried to leave his room. His mom tried to stop him from leaving, but AllMight beat him to it. The look on his face made him freeze in place. Midoriya's head pounded, and he gripped onto his forehead like it might help subdue the pain.
"Young Midoriya. I understand what you're going through," AllMight said back, "Of course I'd want to help someone like Lila, but you need to stop and heal. You're not going to get anything done if you're hurt like this."
"What? So you can get One for All back?" Midoriya pointed out, feeling something snap, "You don't even care about what's going on with Lila. Even when you were akumatized, that's all you wanted! I thought you'd understand that what I saw was someone that needed help! Lila is in trouble and One for All is hurting her! All you care about is One for All!"
"Izuku!" Midoriya's mom cried out, "Don't talk to him like that! He's trying to help!"
"Inko, it's okay," AllMight said back to her, "He's just worked up is all."
Midoriya started to feel a little lightheaded as he gripped onto his arm. His mom tried to help him out as he faced AllMight. He felt so out of it that he didn't even realize what he was saying to them. All he could focus on was Chrysalis's wings as he swayed a little.
"S-Stop calling her Inko... S-Stop acting like my dad... Y-You aren't my dad..."
He could barely tell what was going on as he soon felt the floor underneath him. AllMight and Midoriya's mom quickly ran over to him and checked on how he was doing.
"AllMight! Is he okay?" Midoriya's mom asked him.
"Yeah. He just passed out," AllMight said back to her, "He's exhausted. We should help him into bed."
AllMight mostly helped as he carried him into his bed. He put his sheets over him and noticed that he was a little hot. He went over to the air conditioner and turned it on.
"Shouldn't we go get Ladybug?" Midoriya's mom asked him.
"No. It's okay," AllMight said back, "They both need their rest. Besides I need to check on them, see how they are doing. They are my students now."
"What he said to you. I'm sure that he didn't mean it," Midoriya's mom said to him, "You're clearly doing everything you can to take care of him and everyone here. Whatever this One for All is, it is obviously very important to both of you. He's just tired."
AllMight looked back at Midoriya and noticed that he was already asleep. He didn't even stir around at all. He held onto his keychain, remembering the moment that they talked in the museum.
"I know. He's just really worried about Lila," AllMight said back, "I understand where he's coming from. I would probably be doing the same thing if I had One for All back."
Midoriya's mom placed her hands on top of his holding the keychain and smiled at him.
"I think you're doing just fine without it," Midoriya's mom said back.
AllMight felt little warm as she touched his hand. For a moment, he felt something coming over him that he had never felt before. Midoriya's mom had a glow to her that he had never noticed, and he didn't even bother shaking it off. Then he remembered what Midoriya had just said, and he pulled away from her. Midoriya's mom noticed the look on his face and worried about him.
"Don't worry about Izuku. He's going to be just fine," Midoriya's mom said to him, "He looks up to you so much. This little thing between him and Cer--... Lila isn't going to stop him from caring about you. He just needs to cool down."
AllMight understood where she was coming from and felt even more comfortable around her. He even felt himself stumble a little as he put his keychain back. He was going to put it back on his desk, but then decided that Midoriya needed this for the time being. He tucked in the keychain into Midoriya's pocket, hoping that it would give him a bit of luck. He tucked him into the sheets again and noticed how peaceful he looked in his sleep. He couldn't help but smile at how comforting it felt to help him get a good night sleep.
Then he remembered what he had said and flinched in the spot. Something about it about bothered him a lot, especially when he told him that he's not his dad. He thought that it shouldn't bother him, but it did. He tried to shake it off and headed out of his room. Him and his mom left him alone, and AllMight turned off the lights. Before closing the door, he just really hoped that Midoriya will get a good night's rest.
"Good night Izuku."
AllMight and Midoriya's mom walked down the hallway towards the elevator. As they headed over there, AllMight could swear that he felt a little twinge in his arm. It felt a little bit like a spark of something, but couldn't quite tell. He tried to shake it off, but it still felt a little weird. It felt a little familiar, and AllMight had a feeling that it was something that he shouldn't worry about.
As they walked down to the common room, the rain began to pick up. Thunder clashed outside as something was soon approaching the dormitory. Little did AllMight know that Midoriya was being watched over.
Another amazing chapter!
I don't mind this chapter. It's a little short, but it's pretty much the set up to what's coming soon! Chrysalis is interesting to write, that's for sure! Midoriya is one of my favorite characters to write right now with what's going on. With how weird things are with the book, I definitely wanted to just go with what the title is for this book! Quirks and Miraculous are gonna get pretty crazy soon!
AllMight and Midoriya's mom are pretty cute, but I don't know if it'll be much more than that.
Someone's watching Midoriya...
More to come soon!
