In a world where Izuku was born with a quirk, it also meant his birth was set later in time.
Or maybe it was that Bakugo was born too early.
Either way Izuku was still in preschool waiting for his quirk to develop when Bakugo died.
There was no sludge monster, it was just a bad day where he found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. The villain killed him slowly though not purposely, it was simply just the effect of his gas quirks that had Bakugo drowning in his own blood. He was furious at his helplessness, furious at the fact that this bastard took his future, stole his chance to be a hero.
He only grew angrier when he woke up at the scene of his death. It was night an the only thing that reminded was a blood stain on the ground and caution tap.
He wandered and his rage grew as he watched heroes live his dream and villains prevail when he could have stopped them.
His hear boiled each time he was reminded of his death when someone walked through him. He didn’t fucking exist anymore and it was infuriating . He yelled and screamed and drove himself further into a furious state. Things shook and objects moved but even then no one NOTICED HIM.
He couldn’t take it. He hated people, he hated the living. Every time he looked at them it was just a big fat reminder of what was taken from him.
Eventually it was too much. He retreated into the ruins where he died. He found an abandoned hero agency. It was crumbling and charred from disasters past but something about it reminded him of himself.
During the day he fell into disrepair as he mourned to warmth of the sun, he did the closest thing to sleep a ghost could manage but in the nights, he screamed.
Bakugo was destined to be a poltergeist.
His deteriorating spirit made him retain his death state (The way he looked the moment he died). His eyes were red and bleeding, blood dropped from his mouth and every breath sounded like an agonizing wheeze morphed into a dangerous growl.
Almost every night in the old abandoned hero agency in an undeveloped part of the city, angry screaming and muffled explosions could be heard occasionally.
It was soon to be known as the Ghost of Ground Zero.
-
Izuku finds out that he does in fact have a quirk, though one entirely unexpected. He could see ghost. Not just see them but communicate with them! The area he lived in didn’t get a lot of disasters and rarely were there crimes or accidents that cause significant loss of life. So most the ghost there were peaceful and easy to please as Izuku helped them with their unfinished business.
But it was only a mater of time before he heard of the Ghost of Ground Zero. Poltergeist or not, he was going to save their soul... that’s what heroes did right?
Major points:
- After meeting they find out that ghost’s who Izuku allows to possess him can use their quirks (By extension Izuku can also use their quirks)
-Ghost possessing Izuku act as copilots, they do not have full control
-Bakugo can speak through Izuku when possessing him. (Izuku can now say fuck)
-Izuku’s true quirk and Bakugo’s existence is kept a secret. (Drama for later?)
-Nana may or may not be the go to for ghost knowledge? (And she definitely chases Poltergeist Bakugo out with a broom when she first sees him)
GHOST FIC! GHOST FIC!
Oh man I love ghost fics!! This idea of Bakugo dying and the two having to be a team to become the greatest heroes.
Honestly though this could work with any of the characters, or multiple??
Izuku has an arsenals of dead friends that he switches between depending on the situation, maybe he claims to have a quirk similar to Monoma’s? I feel like he’d keep the ghost thing a secret because I don’t think society will ever be prepared to find out about the afterlife.
Also I like to thing that because of there intense emotions of anger and hatred, poltergeist get additional abilities that other ghost don’t have but that leaves them unstable.
Emotions are the fuel of the spirit world and quirk don’t work when they’re in pure ghost form since they don’t have the physical means to channel it. Though because quirks are in a way to attacked to the soul one they have a spiritual medium (Izuku) to channel themselves through their quirks will manifest.
