    Summary

    Izuku steps towards the other teen, holding his hand out to shake, “I’m Midoriya Izuku by the way. We haven’t officially met yet, right? I don’t remember seeing you at the Entrance Exam?”

    The blue-haired boy pauses, studies his hand uncertainly before shrugging. “Shirakumo Oboro,” he introduces in return, hand phasing right through Izuku’s when he goes to return the handshake. Shirakumo doesn’t seem surprised by it, but Izuku whips his hand back when the intense chill climbs up his arm.

    or,

    Izuku tries to pretend eveything is okay even though his homelife is crumbling around him, there's an insanely powerful Quirk that's not entirely his coursing through his veins, he suddenly knows his childhood hero, All Might, and to top it all off, he seems to have befriend a pastel blue-haired ghost that has way too much insider knowledge on Izuku's new homeroom teacher, and English teacher. He's really just trying to survive Yuuei...

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya was a quirkless orphan. His mother had been killed when he was eight—the same day he lost faith in heroes. By ten, he had lost faith in all adults. He had been shuffled between at least eleven different foster homes, each one eager to send him back the moment they realized he was quirkless. By twelve, Izuku understood the truth—no one was coming to save him.

    So, he became Ghost.

    Silent, unseen, and unnoticed, he moved through the city’s underbelly, doing what heroes wouldn’t. No quirk, no support—just sheer will. If the world refused to fight for someone like him, then he’d fight for himself and for those who had no one else.

    But then they came.

    Yamada Hizashi and Aizawa Shouta. Two pro heroes who didn’t look at him with disappointment or pity. They didn’t see a problem to be ignored or a burden to be passed along. They saw him—just Izuku Midoriya, a quirkless orphan who had been failed time and time again.

    But Izuku had been surviving on his own for so long. He had built walls no one had ever tried to break through before. They didn’t know who he really was, what he had done, what he had become.

    And he wasn’t sure if there was anything left of him to save.

    Summary

    "H-how's she doing?" Jax ignored the question, instead focusing on the bookshelf Infront of him as he pulled a few of his favorites down.

    "Jax?"

    Turning to look at the small crowd that had gathered behind him Jax rolled his eyes. "Who Pomni? She's fine, Never been better."

    His sarcastic and cutting tone made Zooble roll her eyes while Gangle flinched slightly but it was Ragatha who spoke up first. "You don't need-"

    He cut her off, not really in the mood to be chastised by her or any of them at the moment. "Seriously though guys, what; this isnt like the birds and bees talk. You can't just avoid talking about it for 20 years and then throw your hands up and go 'Oopse, I guess we missed our chance, sorry' when she finally does start asking questions."

    A small smirk of satisfaction spread across his face as everyone shifted uncomfortably, looking slightly ashamed. Again it was Ragatha who spoke for the group. "We... we didn't know... how to... tell her."

    That made the smirk fall from his face. "You tell her the truth, that her physical body in the real world is dying and that soon she'll be stuck here forever as a digital copy of her former self."
