Chapter Text
After the incident with Black Whip during the dual-class exercises, Izuku had lied through his teeth by stating that his quirk had mutated, causing those black tendrils to appear. The classes and the teacher believed it, while on the other hand, those who knew the secret of One for All, were shocked at the knowledge given how One for All seemed to be mutating.
At first, they were on alert as to when another quirk would appear, then some weeks passed and they moved passed it. The 2nd quirk appeared during one of the late-night training sessions between Izuku and Katsuki.
Katsuki had flown up in the air, palm outstretched ready to blast Izuku who seemed to be just standing there. Then before Katsuki could do anything else Izuku leaped up into the air, throwing Katsuki down into the ground.
Toshinori and Gran Torino stared at the scene before them, Izuku seemed to just be standing there unknowing of the attack behind them, he then moved to block it almost automatically. They stared at him as he continued to just stand there, ignoring Katsuki’s screams as to what had happened.
He was there but not there at the same time, he was in his mindscape chatting with a past wielder of One for All about his quirk.
(Fires of One for All)
Izuku gasped before falling to his knees, he looked around the place before were set on a large man with his hair up in a high ponytail, worry lines across his forehead, along with red-tinted sunglasses covering his eyes," hello Ninth."
"You're the…" "well consider me to be the Fourth wielder of One for All, " he smiles calmly. He gestures to the area surrounding him, "well I guess since the Sixth told you about his quirk I guess it's my turn."
Izuku then stands up, panicking slightly, "wait shouldn't this have happened in order from first to last?" The man laughs at Izuku's demeanor and panicking state. "Sorry kid, it's just I wondered the same thing myself when I talked to the First."
He stops himself, "right were running out of time here, you've improved your control but not enough for these long conversations. So my quirk is known as Awareness as you can see, it's considered to be something of a sensory quirk. The user can sense anything within a set area, given the improvements that have been made with One for All I can assume that your area has been heightened as well."
"Also In my time had I put enough focus on a specific individual I could've told you whether or not they had a quirk, again considering the evolution that it's been given within the core of One for All, you might be able to actually tell the differences in someone's quirk."
Izuku can feel his time limit reaching but he still has a question. "What's with all of the hypotheticals on this anyway? Can't you give me something concrete." Despite Izuku having near-limitless patience all of the hypotheticals and guesswork are becoming quite annoying for him.
The man laughs again, "nothing's really concrete you know that right kid? This is the first time that something like this has happened to us, it's guesswork and hypotheticals for us all. But you're a smart kid you'll figure it out." He then smiles before waving him off, "remember kid this a puzzle and you've only got 2 of the pieces so far, bring us home." Izuku then disappears and returns to his training session.
(Real World)
Izuku stands staring at the ground. Katsuki yelling something in the background, Gran Torino yelling something back at him, Toshinori trying and failing to mediate them. He whispers to himself, "bring us home?"
