Chapter Text
“Since you were trapped inside AFO for a long time. The term quirk singularity is quiet familliar, right?” Izuku asked to the heroes, he was still in that void.
“Yeah, he was obssesed the whole quirk doomsday theory” The adult “Bakugo” said.
“Here is the thing, the quirk doomsday is not just a theory. It's the inminent future for all this world population, that is one of the two things that pusshed that man to this extremes” Izuku said, the heroes were a little unsure.
“And what is the other thing?” one of them asked.
“Just being a fucking dick” Izuku said, the heroes were stunned into silence, Nana reacted to what he said by laughting a little.
“Can't dissagree whit that one” En said.
“So what you saying is that humanity is doomed?” Daigoro asked.
“Yes and no, yes if nothign is done to prevent it, and no because i hold the solution needed” Izuku said.
“And what is that solution?” Asked the subordinate.
“Just doing what that man did to create nomus, but instead of shoving multiple quirk and leting that person die, i just have to give a copy of the quirk that Melissa have. Body and Quirk Adaptability: Singularity Edition, and then making sure that the process sticks.” Izuku said to them, it was quite clear that the mention of the nomus was a little to much, Izuku did not blame them for that one.
“Other one could be the fact that if i have children, they could probably innerit my DNA that was mutated by the singularity and see if that works, but this is not a videogame with next generation mecanics, there is no certanty that could happen”.
Inko was at home, she had been through a couple weeks of hardship. It was not even 4 days after his son took a plane to the I-island with his classmates that he was teleported to Japan and kidnapped immediately. Then she was in the dark for a week, as her new co-workers and heroes mounted a rescue operation. Inko, not being a heroine herself, was not told anything about the operation. Nezu did what he could to keep her informed, but for security reasons, he had to keep a lid on a lot of what he could say to her.
Then there was the live broadcast of the final fight between All Might and the villain who kidnapped Izuku. she was concerned about All Might of course, but she was more focused on what was going on with her son. The moment her son's voice appeared on the broadcast cheered her up a lot, watching her little boy give the villain his comeuppance was touching. She noticed how his hair had turned white, and that made her feel the worst. What had they done to her little boy?. Anyway, she watched as her son kept the villain at bay until the moment when All Might showed up and defeated the villain once and for all.
After that day, All Might brought Izuku to home himself, Inko asked him the reason for this act. His awnser was that he owed that to him. Recovery Girl was a little upset about that, but Recovery Girl went to her home and examined Izuku. Recovery Girl said that Izuku was suffering from a severe quirk exhaustion, which could keep him in bed for a couple of days. She put in Izuku an I.V. and told Inko that if she needed more I.V., to let her know. That was 4 day ago and Izuku was still asleep. She did not lose hope though, she was not alone, her co-workers came to see her and some of izuku's friends came to check on Izuku. Even so, it still hurt to see her little boy in that state.
Her routine was to spend most of the day from monitoring her son's condition to receiving visitors. Nezu said that considering that everyone saw what happened in Kamino and how Izuku, despite violating several laws, saved the world from a very dangerous villain and saved All Might's life. The paparazzi would be on both of them almost all the time.
Nezu brought some newspapers to prove his point, which apart from talking about how All Might saved the day, talked about how his son could be the successor to the title of hero number one, some of them talked about cospirational theories, such as that All Might was his father. And others were saying that they would make an investigation and try to have an interview with him or his closest relatives.
“Closest relatives...”She thought about how both her family, as well as Hishasi's family, rejected Izuku from the moment he was diagnosed quirkless. Most of them tried to walk it back and try to connect with him when his quirk manifested itself, but Izuku made it clear that what he did to her ex-husband he would do to all of them, so none of them tried. Her family chose to despise her little boy for something out of his control, she rejected them in the same way. Despite being saddened by severed connections and rejected family ties, she made her choice, and never looked back.
“A question Nezu” she said to the principal
“Sure, what is it?”
“Taking into account the current situation, I would like to know what legal options there are in case people who have nothing to do with me or my son, try to tell falsehoods or things like that. I don't want anyone to try to take advantage of Izuku's name for their own interests, much less my family or my ex-husband's family.” Inko said to Nezu, he looked at her and replied to her question
“That scenario is very likely, if you see fit, I can personally take care of the issue, of course being you the person who makes the final decision. My first recommendation would be to issue a public statement, which would make it clear that anyone who talks about Izuku without your or his permission could be liable to legal action.” Nezu said to Inko, his mind was seeing what she meant and started to think ways to prevented.
“That sounds nice”
“At the same time, since he is not a adult yet, only the most reckless and foolish would try something. The legal team of U.A. is at your disposal should the need arise”
“Thank you”
“No need to thank me”
For the rest of students in classes 1-A and 1-B, life returned to a more normal routine after the AFO defeat, the 3 students who mocked Izuku after his kidnapping had to swallow their words, because after what happened that day. Izuku's fame reached a very high level.
Neito Monoma, Denki Kaminari and Kyoka Jiro, those three were those in class 1-A who loathed Izuku the most. Monoma was simply jealous of the attention that he recevied, Kaminari shared that sentiment and was mad at what he did to Jiro during the Sports Festival. And it was Jiro the one who was more personal in her hatred. What started out as contempt for being attacked after insulting Izuku's mother, got worse day after day, and after what happened the day she and Momo secretly followed izuku, losing a friend because of him made her more and more frustrated. Seeing Momo befriend Izuku and seeing Ashido replace her as Momo's friend just makes her feel very upset.
So Izuku's newfound fame came as a sudden splash of very cold water, the rest of their class distanced themselves from them, which left them alone with their thoughts. So while they wallow in their delusions and frustrations, the rest of the students were progressing with their studies and looking forward to their futures. An today on the cafeteria, Momo and Mina were together with the girls of class 1-B, and to everyone's surprise, Uraraka and Asui had met for the first time today. The conversation was pleasant, the topic was casual. After what happened in the last weeks, more than one wanted to not think too much about what happend.
Mei was very excited about the new additions to the U.A. staff. It's not every day that an acclaimed Nobel Prize winner and renowned inventor appeared in the studio along with his talented daughter at his side. She was more excited about Melissa. From what little she saw, Melissa was a very bright mind, an inventor like few others, someone she could look up to. Melissa in her part was quite impressed with Mei, sure she is a little more energetic that necesary and some of her “Babies” then to blow up, but Mei is really passionate and dedicated to the craft. The fact that Mei is way more aprochable and honest that everyone that was in the island is a plus to her.
Power Loader and David were contemplating the interaction, while the two of them were disscusing the way to proceed. David was talking with Power Loader about the develoment of a new material that could help Mirio with his new quirk issue, Power Loader was gald to have someone of David's caliber to deal with the problem, the issue with the "paper bag" durability of every costume that Izuku uses came as well, the two of the compared notes and decided to try to fid a way to solve the problem.
On the sunday of that week. Izuku awoke at last, his mother was asleep in a chair, apparently constantly checking on him. Izuku took off his I.V., got out of bed, and gently picked up his mother, carrying her to her room.
Izuku took a look at the living room of the house, it seemed that there were some newspapers talking about what had happened in Kamino. Many said he was the next number one in the making and the successor to All Might. Izuku thought that a certain blond third-year student would not be amused by this.
He also saw some postcards containing messages of "get well". Apparently, almost everyone he knew had written cards to him, from Ingenium to Cassie. the one with the almost was a limited edition postcard of America's number one heroine.
He kept reading them all until his mother ran down to the living room and saw him awake. Inko said nothing, she simply hugged him and started crying. Izuku hugged her back. After that time in silence and mopping the house to dry the floor from the torrent of tears that his mother let out. Izuku decided to call Nezu, there was some business he wanted to attend to.
Normally Reiko would not go to U.A. on a sunday, but a call from the principal, which said there were details that concerned her entire family. Made Reiko and her family had no choice but to go to the U.A., when they arrived, they found Allmigth and Gran Torino.
Reiko found it hard to get used to the idea that All Might was well now, even though she was not very involved in her parents's dealings with All Might, she had long known about the injury he suffered. The group went to Nezu's office, when they entered they saw Nezu who was sitting in his chair, and on the sofa, there was someone they were all surprised to see.
“Izuku?” Reiko said, being the first to enter and seeing Izuku there
“Sup Reiko” He said to her, waiving his hand. Everyone was surprised for a moment, but they quickly recovered and went in.
“Good morning everyone, and forgive me for calling this meeting on this day, but izuku has just gotten up and says he has something to say to Reiko, her family and All Might, the topic is about AFO.” Nezu said.
“I promised All Might that I would talk to you, so sorry for the wait, there are a couple of things I must say” Izuku said.
“Let's start with the basics, I know the truth about Kayako Yanagi, or as that monster called her, subject 13. I also know that Reiko and Melissa are AFO's "granddaughters", and I also know what the future held for them if All Might had not killed the bastard.” Izuku said, Kayako was getting pale. Izuku continued to talk.
“The moment when Melissa was in AFO's sight could have been the moment when AFO would have been almost unstoppable. So is a good thing that i teleported her away from him when she was kidnapped”
“What do you mean,Izuku?” Melissa was curious about what he said, so she asked.
“That if AFO had gotten his hands on your quirk, the situation would have been different.” Melissa was shocked. did Izuku implied that she had a quirk?.
“Yes Melissa, you have a quirk, the thing his that your quirk could only manifest if for whatever reason, someone tried to force a quirk into you”
“That's imposible!. I have..., i have...” She was in denial, the idea that all the abuse she suffered for being quirkless was unnecesary. That she had a quirk all the time was to much for her at the moment
“Copying your quirk was the thing that allowed me to in a way to free myself and to close the gap of power that existed between AFO and myself. Also, it allowed me to survive the quirk singularity of my quirks without ending being a blood stain on the floor.”
“Wait, did you say quirks?” Asked Reiko
“Yeah, my original quirk allowed me to copy the quirk factor of someone and to analyze, I kept the replicated factor, but i could not use it. That sorta explained my obssesion with analyzing quirks when I was a kid.” Everyone was trying to understand what Izuku was saying. Nezu was trying to keep a open mind, but even to him, this was dificult to get around
“The Green Ligth event. That happended when one agent of AFO used his quirk to heal me. I copied his quirk and a safety measure that AFO puts in every quirk that he gives, a copy his mind. When i copied that, it sorta tried to take over me, that messed with my original quirk and body, allowing me to use the quirks that I stored in me, but at the same time taking up to 50 percent of my brain to exist. That more or less explains why i was a liitle more that a barely restrained berserker when my quirk manfested” Nobody could belive what he was saying but Izuku was telling the truth.
“I could use those quirks because a pachtwork copy of AFO was inside me. But that AFO copy needed my original quirk to use those quirks. So it was a part parasitic, part symbiotic relationship between those quirks. It's funny to me that a supervillain's mind will eventually decide that being me was much better than being himself.”
“So who are you, Izuku or AFO?” All Might asked, being on edge, he was not the only one.
“I am Izuku Midoriya, my future is mine to decide” He said, every one was still on guard yet.
“What entalied that quirk singularity, Izuku?” Asked Nezu.
“Thanks to the copy of Melissa's quirk, I could manualy trigger the quirk singularity with 100 precent survival rate. In my case, Azul and my original quirk ended merging together, in exchange for the memories of AFO, my quirks and their consciences fused, my body reacted quiet badly. If I told you that before i called you to the phone Nezu, I died. Would you believe me?”
“What?!” Nezu and everyone in the room reacted to the fact that izuku said that he died that day.
“The quirk singularity varies from person to person, in Shoto's case, he gain a massive boost of power whit the ice part of his quirk, but he lost the ability to properly regulate his body temperature. For me, my body exploded into bloody bits. has any of you know about Dragon Ball Z?” Izuku asked, Reiko raised her hand
“OK, so Reiko, what happend to the villain called Cell. How he died after being depowered from his perfect form, and what happend after that?”
“He was..., he was...., oh my god!” she said, Reiko realized what Izuku tried to say.
“Sis?” Melissa asked, she watched as her sister was getting paler.
“Cell blew himself up, but a microscopic fragment of his brain survived, said fragment regenerated him back into his perfect form from scrach. So that's what happend to you?” Reiko said, now everyone know what Izuku was refering.
“Yeah, the singularity literaly killed me, but i lived anyway. My body rebuild himself from scrach, making my body to have by default some quirks activated without having to use them directly. Multiple body enhancement quirks, Super regeneration, quirks related to the five senses, and one that more than one knows, High Specs.”
“That means...” Gran Torino said
“That the perfect body that AFO coveted to rule over the world, the one that motivated him to make all those inhuman experiments. Is my body after surviving the quirk singularity and coming back stronger that ever”
“That explains how you were able to stand up to AFO without to much issues” Said David.
“So what are you goning to do? Kayako asked.
“The first thing is to raid a goddamn buffet, I really that hungry” that simple comentary, in a way calmed down the mood of the room.
“Good to know, but i mean, what are your future plans” asked Kayako again
“Aside from graduating as a hero i guess that i could pursue now a higher education. I don't know really” Izuku said a he shrugged
“Wait, graduate?” asked All Might
“It's not like my life is going to change much. i have years of school to do, and a little something i need some discusion with the principal”
“And what is that, Izuku?” Asked Nezu
“The idea to create a new hero team and have U.A. as it's base of opperations”
