So I read your brother’s hospital report — yeowch, that is really quite the read, I’m not surprised that you don’t like seeing it again.
What I was confused about is what NOK is referring to in it — I had assumed that was Next of Kin?
If so, were you upset at being Next of Kin for him? Otherwise I am not sure what you meant by you were upset with the doctors?
Guessing this is in relation to this post?
Yes NOK is next of kin. No I wasn’t upset at holding that position (although of course it should have been Mom or Dad but… well… yeah)
I’m not really sure how to answer that question other than to say look again at what the NOK was advised he should be considering…
Sure it’s very innocent looking in unemotional text form but suffice to say NOK did not agree with the medical professional who kept pushing a certain option as “inevitable”, “the kindest thing” and my favourite “some might think it cruel to subject him to a half life because you aren’t ready to say goodbye”. Dr Death thankfully found his expertise was required at a hospital upstate.
Nothing can ever prepare you for having to fight for somebody’s life in that kind of context. Still the most terrifying thing I ever had to do.
Juno had always lived an interesting life. Not necessarily safe or… well, in the best environment, but definitely interesting. And Oldtown wasn't the worst place to grow up. At least it wasn't the Outer Rim. And he had four walls and a roof over his head... most of the time.
But… what he didn't have was that incessant nagging to find whomever could match his 'mark'- named in a very clever fashion as a Soul-Mark, a mostly unique marking upon one's skin. There's supposedly only one person in the universe that has an identical mark, the one that is supposed to fill in the blanks where you fall short and complete your life.
He didn't believe in something that straightforward, for one. And…
"Mistah Steel! There's someone waiting out here for you!" Rita's voice snapped him out of his thoughts with a light shake of his head- he needed a moment to get ready. Clear his mind and prepare for whoever was out there.
Of course… it was still a shock when a tall, mysterious individual stepped into his office, clearly having walked right past his secretary- a rather flustered miss Rita.
"Hello there. I am agent Glass, I believe you were informed of my arrival…?" The mysterious stranger that claimed to be an agent had a voice like smooth wine, and a glint in his eyes to match. Juno couldn't place exactly why, but there was something familiar in those eyes. Dangerously familiar.
He didn't like it.
"'Informed of your arrival'? What the hell is that supposed to mean? You talking about Rita? Rita!" Juno nearly pushed past the self-proclaimed agent Glass, only to be met by a closed door and a hand on his chest that quickly retracted. It was only a moment, but it sent sparks through Juno's veins, meeting with a burst of energy in his heart that nearly made him gasp... and by the faltering in the mysterious Mr. Glass's eyes, he felt something too.
"... You needn't worry about her. She's been taken care of." The vague wording in Mr. Glass's statement shocked Juno back to reality, turning the strange, warm… slightly uncomfortable feeling in his chest to icy dread.
"The hell's that supposed to mean? Rita! Rita!" Juno's voice raised, and he found himself reaching for a blaster… that he didn't have where he thought it was. It was on his desk, he'd taken it off when he sat down and it was just a little bit too far-
"My, you panic quite easily. Maybe you aren't the right one for the job… your secretary is fine. You simply need to know how to talk to certain people and they are sure to comply." The mysterious Glass offered a light, airy smile and a load of empty promises with that statement…
"The hell does that even mean? You know what- I don't want to know. What I do want to know is why you came here." Juno took a step back, bringing himself close enough to his gun to grab it if things went sour.
"Why I came? Well, I did say you should have been informed of my arrival… did you not receive a call from someone at the agency?"
The agency… what could that mean?
Wait.
"You mean- Wire sent you?" Juno felt like his head was spinning. Maybe it was the sleep deprivation, maybe it was the fact that Agent Wire had called him at no earlier than three in the morning last night and he had actually forgotten. How do you forget something like that?
"Agent Wire, yes. I would have thought a detective like you could have come to the conclusion on your own…" Glass laughed.. He laughed.
Juno didn't feel much like laughing.
"Just- whatever. It doesn't matter. There's a case, right? Let's go solve the damn case." Juno grabbed his gun off the table, mildly startling the agent with the sudden movement as he walked to the door and opened it.
"Well hello there mista Steel… and agent Glass." Rita half-hid behind her computer monitor, giggling and masking a blush.
"Hey, Rita. Got another case. Should be back sometime later, if I'm not you can just close up without me." Juno headed straight for the door, ignoring the looks Rita was giving agent Glass.
What was so special about him, anyways? Just another Dark Matters agent here to get in his way. Even if…
No. It was a weird coincidence coupled with too much coffee. And maybe a little whiskey.
Maybe more than a little.
Hey there folks I have more planned but I said I was gonna post a thing and I currently cannot find a way past this so ✨ enjoy ✨
The formatting is kinda weird but I'm writing in Docs and when I officially post it as like A Fic (probably on AO3) I'll properly reformat it ha
Summary: When Izuku finally accepts that Bakugou is not his friend anymore, he ends up collapsing at home. He discovers that he has had a Quirk all along- the ability to bond with others and increase their Quirks. Izuku fully intends to become a hero still, now with a new Quirk by his side. A new school leads him to new friends and new bonds both Quirked and not, plus his mom finding a new husband has his family increasing and the support he needs keeps coming in.
Look out world, here comes Decagon!
On AO3
Pairings: Aizawa Shouta/Midoriya Inko so far. Others TBA
Warnings: Bakugou Faces Consequences. Bakugou critical. But also he ends up getting redeemed like WAY later so… yeah.
Other Tags: Shinsou is Aizawa’s cousin/nephew, Queer Platonic relationships ahead, Izuku has a Quirk.
The Quirk specialist called in wasn’t the one Dr. Aizawa wanted, but apparently that one was in America for a conference. Instead a tall blue haired woman had been called in.
“Ah, hello. I am Doctor Yamanato Yuki.” she had introduced herself. Apparently her specialization in Quirks were sex based but she also had faimilarity with bonding Quirks.
“Sex Quirks and Bonding Quirks actually are incredibly similar when you break it down,” she had explained to Izuku when the boy had asked in curisotsity. The woman had gone red when he had asked but she had managed to stutter it out. “Sex Quriks often affect other people, much like Bonding Quirks. They affect the same areas of the brain to stimulate the Quirk’s effects on the person. So I learned a lot about them both.”
The testing was a bit boring. He and his mom sat in machines with weird stuff attached to them, and Eraserhead, which he had gotten more excited about after his brain fog cleared up, would activate his Quirk randomly so Dr. Yamanato would observe Izuku’s Quirk in use. He then sat in more machines to scan his head and body.
When they were all done that, Dr. Yamanato also took some blood to test it.
Meanwhile though, Izuku had to stay in the hospital. His body temperature registered still as below average, but rising up. Dr. Yamanato had more theories about that, but she wanted to check first.
Izuku didn’t mind the hospital too much, it meant that he didn’t have to go back to Aldera which he knew would be filled with kids gossiping about him now. His mom told him he didn’t have to go back at all.
“Your Quirk is very special honey, special enough that people would want it. Due to this, we can apply for a fund to move you to a better school where you will be safe.” Inko did not tell her son the risks of kidnapping him were incredibly high, and that he would be sent to the school Dr. Aizawa’s girlfriend’s son went to. Dr. Aizawa had told her a few quiet stories of how his girlfriend’s son had nearly been kidnapped multiple times for his mind control Quirk. She didn’t want to worry her son with that news.
Izuku did know that Bakugou attempted to get to him a few times. He had heard Inko talking about it with the doctor and even a security guard. Apparently Bakugou had come back and tried to force his way into the pediatric ward. The nurses hadn’t let him and he had tried to make them only for them to not only call his parents but the cops.
That had nurses gossiping all day, and Izuku had listened to a few talk about how awful he was and how they didn’t understand how a child could act like that.
Izuku felt a little pleased at that. He shouldn’t be, he knew and felt guilty. However, little boys who were bullied and tormented for years do tend to get glee their abuser faced consequences for their actions or ended up mocked for their attitude.
Or well, anyone would be.
Izuku waited a week for more info, during which he got to know Eraserhead more and more. He apparently also taught at UA, Izuku felt so happy learning that he ended up asking way too many questions. Eraserhead didn’t mind though and answered what he could.
“But what about your classes?” Izuku asked him a day after he being told, suddenly realizing it. “Shouldn’t you be teaching?”
“Nah. I’m the home room teacher for the third year this year and I expelled most of them. I have about five kids in the class and they’re currently doing work studies. I barely see them.” Eraserhead had told him, which sparked a debate on why he expelled most of his students that even Inko weighed in on.
“But if they were skilled enough-”
“It doesn’t matter, I won’t let kids who have no potential go out to either get themselves killed or others killed.”
“But couldn’t they learn?”
“They go to Gen Ed when expelled from my class and I watch them. If they actually show ANY potential and want to do better I will let them back in but otherwise-”
Izuku watched the back and forth of his mother and Eraserhead for a bit, head turning between them. Dr. Aizawa, who had walked in a few minutes before with Dr. Yamanato, also watched. His face looked amused though, confusing Izuku. More so when he told the little boy,
“I think I will be seeing more of you even when you’re gone. I have never seen Shouta look so engaged before.”
That was weird, Izuku thought as Dr. Yamanato caught his mom’s attention.
“Oh! Doctor! Do we have more information?” Inko asked the female doctor who smiled kindly.
“We do.” She got the other two to leave, leaving Izuku, Inko and Dr. Yamanato alone in the room. The doctor sat down in a chair with a clipboard on her lap that she read some notes off of as she spoke.
“Your son’s Quirk from what we found is the ability to form bonds, we know this. He is able to increase a person’s Quirk. Most likely they can either use their Quirk for longer, can aake it stronger somehow or possibly even mutate it depending on what sort of Quirk he has.” the doctor explained. “The bond however, goes both ways. We got permission from the Bakugou family to do some tests on their son. From what we can tell, the bond between Izuku and Katsuki was only half of a bond. It was parasitic in nature. Katsuki would draw upon Izuku but Izuku received nothing back from him.”
“Is that why he was so sickly for so long?” Inko asked.
“Yes. Izuku’s Quirk worked overtime to support the bond with Katsuki and yourself.” Dr. Yamanato explained. “The bond between the two of you is incredibly healthy, but from the bit of the former bond we can find between Katsuki and Izuku it was entirely one sided and drew too much from Izuku. If it had been both ways, Katsuki most likely would have been even stronger and Izuku would have experienced minor side effects of the bond.”
“Side effects,” Inko interrupted the doctor while Izuku reeled from all this information.
He had a Quirk. He had a QUIRK. A really cool one! He could bond with people, make them stronger… suddenly his thoughts went to why he expressed happiness before, when he didn’t have to go to school. His stomach dropped like a stone.
People would only want to be his friend because of it.
“What sort of side effects?” Inko asked the doctor, unaware of her son’s slowly worsening mood.
“Well from what we can tell from some of our physical tests, the bond with Katsuki did cause him to be sickly but the bond with you is altering his body a bit.” The doctor explained. That drew their attention, Izuku even pulled from his thoughts.
“How so?” Inko asked, voice as calm as possible so she didn’t freak Izuku out.
“He’s more…” the doctor looked thoughtful, trying to find the right word before huffing. “He’s much lighter than most boys his age. I believe it relates to your Quirk. Pulling small objects towards yourself- Izuku has made himself lighter. It may also play into why he does have a hard time keeping to a healthy weight.”
“Is there anything I can do?” Inko worried, a hand going to rest on her son’s shoulder. Izuku himself felt nervous.
“I’m no dietician. I would suggest swapping to a heavier diet for him and focus on muscle building rather than fat building, but that’s not my specialty.” Dr. Yamanato told Inko. “The broken bond between Izuku and Katsuki as well is what is causing him to be so cold as well.”
“Bakugou has explosions as his Quirk, was he making me warm?” Izuku asked the doctor who shrugged in answer.
“Possibly. Or it could simply be the shock from suddenly breaking a bond. It isn’t life threatening as you know but you will need warmer clothes from now on.” Dr. Yamanato told them. “Now, we did get a brain scan done and we think we see… the term I guess would be ports…” the doctor frowned and then shrugged, seemingly satisfied with her word choice. “Ports where more bonds could form. We counted ten. This number though is not a hundred percent accurate though, so be warned you might not be able to bond with ten or might be able to bond with more than ten.”
“... Is there anything else? How do I bond with people? What sort of bonds? Are they all like family bonds?” Izuku asked. Dr. Yamanto blinked owlishly before she smiled at him.
“Well, you’re eager to learn. From what we think happened with your mother and Katsuki, we think the bond had to be mutual with both of you wishing to be bonded.” Dr. Yamanato said. She used the clipboard she had on her lap to sketch out two stick figures with two arrows between them, going from one figure to another. “The bond requires mutual affection. Now, this affection can be good affection or… bad affection.”
“Bad affection?” Izuku asked, his mind whirling.
“Sometimes people like to pick on and be mean to others.” Dr. Yamanato explained. “This is cruel behaviour and bad affection. They do feel something for their victim but it isn’t affection such as your mother feels for you as her son.” She drew two more stick figures with two arrows between them, one broken. “However, once the bond is formed, then even if the person who is bonded to you breaks the bond, the bond continues until you break it yourself. At least, that is our theory.” Dr. Yamanato shrugged. “Quirk Science is half the time us screaming at one another and the other half threatening each other, I won’t lie.”
“I read an article saying Quirk Science is twenty percent guessing, forty percent chance, thirty percent sheer luck and ten percent drinking.” Izuku said with a grin.
Dr. Yamanato cackled.
“You got it in one kid.” She handed Izuku the notes she had taken, and then handed Inko a card. “That is my number. Now, I would like to step outside with your mother to discuss adult things if that’s okay?”
Izuku figured that meant it would be stuff his mom felt to scary for him but would tell him later if she felt it was needed. He agreed and the two women stepped out.
Outside the room, Eraserhead waited for them.
“Doctor, Mrs. Midoriya.” He greeted both of them.
“Ah good Eraser, are you the assigned hero?” Dr. Yamanato asked him. He nodded as Inko blinked in confusion. “Perfect. Now, Mrs. Midoriya,” Dr. Yamanato turned to her. “You understand that due to the nature of your son’s Quirk you are being offered the help moving him to a new school?”
“Ah, yes. Dr. Aizawa said that his girlfriend’s son goes there? His Quirk is something people might want?” Inko did not want to think about her son being kidnapped but it was a very really fear with his Quirk. If a villain got a hold of him and managed to bond with him… it could be disastrous.
“Correct. Now- I’m going to be completely honest. As soon as we place this information into the system anyone with even the slightest ability to check out the database will see it.” Dr. Yamanato said bluntly. “Any Quirk that benefits anyone will be of interest. This means you will be harassed by pro heroes, government agents or researchers who want to use your son for their own gain.”
“... what?” Inko asked shakily.
“It’s common,” Eraserhead said honestly. “Any Quirk deemed useful gets looks and greed. The fact it’s a bonding Quirk that increases other Quirks…”
“Frankly I would bet on Endeavour visiting at least. The man is a power hungry asshole,” Dr. Yamanato said, shrugging at their looks. “My wife has the ability to create children using any genetics from either parents.” The doctor glanced around and lowered her voice. “No one knows but she’s able to pick Quirks to.” That got startled looks from the other two. “She keeps it undocumented for her own safety. That gets out, she will be in dire risk. She managed to word her Quirk profile just right that she’s not lying either. However, Endeavour found out. I don’t know how and he forced her to give him a son with his and his wife’s Quirks.”
“Oh god,” Inko said. Dr. Yamanato nodded.
“Exactly. So be warned. I have some drafts of vague ways to word his Quirk description.” She handed said drafts to Inko and then bowed. “I must be off but take care of yourselves.” She lefts, leaving Inko and Aizawa.
“This… this is going to be hard.” Inko said to herself, clutching the note tightly. She had been aware the reason the government would pay for her son to go a new school with better security was because his Quirk could be dangerous in the wrong hands. She had heard of some of the kids who went there during her research of the school. Kids with healing Quirks that could heal almost any wound, kids who could copy other Quirks, kids with Quirks that released deadly gasses… and now her son would need to go to it because of the risk of a villain bonding with him…
“You’ll be fine.” Eraserhead said. He reached out to awkwardly pat her arm. “I’ll be here to help out for a bit if needed and I’ll make random visits until they decide the risk is over. I’ll help protect him.”
Inko smiled at the man, relief flooding through her. She would not be alone. She didn’t have to do this by herself. Not anymore. Even if it only lasted a little while, she had someone with her.
She could do it.
-0-
“The power of the blasts lowered by 200% after the bond broke,” casually remarked Dr. Yamanato as she looked over the results of the youngest Bakugou.
“What?!?” Katsuki screeched and Dr. Yamanato ignored him, facing his parents.
“It looks like the bonding Quirk was very effective in boosting his Quirk. Thank you for letting me use his Quirk as a way to calculate how much Midoriya’s Quirk could boost another.”
“Of course,” Mitsuki said woodenly as she stared at her furious son. Masaru remained silent, staring at him as well. Dr. Yamanato, sensing that they needed to talk, quietly left.
“This isn’t fucking fair! It’s bullshit-“ Katsuki ranted right before his father spoke, cutting him off.
“Katsuki it is fair. From the sounds of it your actions were deplorable.” Masaru wondered where they had gone wrong. How their prideful son had become so arrogant.
“I am disgusted with you,” Mitsuki said bluntly. Katsuki flinched. Usually his mother would scream that, rage it. But instead she just said it softly, calmly. “I never thought I’d raise a thug like my own father. I’d hoped for better then that.”
“I’m no thug! I’m going to be a hero!” Katsuki roared.
“Not with your current attitude, and it looks like you’re back to square one.” His father said, motioning to how his son’s hands were slightly sparking but only creating small crackles and not the usually soft booms when he lost his temper. “Your actions have consequences Katsuki. We thought the school here would give you them but from our conversation with them, they aren’t.” The two adults traded looks.
They had spoken to the school and found that the entire system was rotten. They praised Katsuki and promised to ‘convince Izu-kun to get over himself and bond again’ stating their son’s skill and power meant he would be a hero. They were horrified at the way the school talked about Izuku like a thing their son could use, not even a person.
“You won’t be going back there.” Mitsuki said.
“What?!?” Katsuki yelled. “But it’s perfect for my-“
“Your hero origin story?!?” Mitsuki snapped. “That utter fucking bullshit you seem to adore sprouting? Here’s the thing Katsuki, you DO NOT have that sort of origin story. You’re talking about an underdog story. Newsflash, you’re not!”
“Your mother and I make good money, you have good health, you only go to that school because we thought you wanted to be with who we thought was your friend,” Masaru began listing. “We paid for the best Quirk Counselors we could, we always made sure you were healthy and happy, and again, we have money.”
“You’re no underdog. You’re the bully in a hero story, the privileged asshole the underdog takes down.” Mitsuki said cruelly. She would feel terrible later, but right then she didn’t care. “I’d say Izuku went through his origin story while at that school, not you.”
“You will not be going back there, and…” Masaru hesitated. Katsuki already was being punished. He would lose his hero origin story fantasy, he had lost a lot of the power of his Quirk. He would have to make friends in a new school, a school Mitsuki picked out dust to them being very stern on bullying.
What else could they punish him with? Taking away his Quirk gym privileges seemed to cruel after he would need to build his Quirk up again. Taking away his video games didn’t seem enough.
“You won’t be going to Hero Con for the next two years.” Mitsuki said. Every year they would take him to see all the merch, year all about heroes and just have fun. Izuku always went with them to. They would still offer the tickets as always to Izuku on his birthday but wouldn’t go or go with Katsuki.
A fitting punishment in her eyes. Katsuki loved Hero Con but the event occurred once a year and wouldn’t affect him to greatly on top of everything else he went through.
“WHAT?!? AREN’T I BEING PUNISHED ENOUGH?!” Katsuki screamed.
“For years of bullying and tormenting? No.” Mitsuki told him. “My father is in jail for his actions. I don’t want to see my son follow his footsteps.”
That quieted Katsuki and the adults took their son home hoping he was thinking and reflecting on his actions. They find that’s much hope though.
For Katsuki he was plotting. Okay, fine he wouldn’t go to Aldera anymore. But the nerd still lived around him and went to the park. Fingers and Wings also would still go to Aldera. He’d have access to Deku again, he would force him to rebond with him.
He would be a hero, and nothing would change that. He refused to let his origin story die like that. He wouldn’t!
Hearing his parents talk about visiting the Midoriyas to make him apologize he changed his plan. Apologize and then rebond with the nerd. Deku could never stay away from him, the fact he had gotten so upset would easily be brushed off as Katsuki going to far only once. It would all end up fine!
He would apologize and things would go back to normal. Deku would tell them to let him stay at Aldera. He would get his hero origin back, be the next great hero. With Deku along he guessed but the freak could be a sidekick in his agency he supposed. Providing him with strength on top of his own greatness to beat All Might and be the next number one!
Heading to the stupid nerd’s house, he plotted how it would go. An apology, then Deku forgiving him. Deku would offer to rebond, after apologizing himself for being an asshole and breaking the bond, risking his future.
They walked up to the apartment, and Katsuki sneered as his mother grabbed his shoulder.
“We’re going to say sorry and then leave.” she told him bluntly. “Nothing else.”
“Or your punishment will be worse,” Masaru promised his son, causing Katsuki to stare at him in shock for the dark tone. He had never heard his father use that before.
Mitsuki rang the bell and waited. Inko opened the door, face blank.
Katsuki felt some regret seeing Inko. He once called her Auntie Inko and she would bake cookies and give him and Deku treats. He used to like her a lot more then his own mom until his parents sat him down and explained why they didn’t speak to their parents, why he didn’t have grandparents like other kids did.
Learning how fucked up his parents’ childhoods were had him appreciating them way more as a nine-year-old. And made him think they were the most badass parents ever. His dad taking down his villain dad by walking right into a freaking police station? His mom stealing all the valuables in the house and running? Epic.
Stand there, looking at Auntie Inko and feeling those feelings again though made him feel small. Bad. Dirty.
He ignored it. Deku was a fucking weakling who wouldn’t get far in the future, no matter his Quirk. It was just a bonding Quirk after all. Katsuki would be the future number one hero. Deku was lucky to be part of his story.
“Yes?” Inko asked the Bakugou family.
“We would like to apologize to Izuku.” Mitsuki said, bluntly. Inko simply watched them a bit longer.
“We were just released today, we asked that the results from the tests Dr. Yamanato had done would be give to you after we left.” Inko said after a moment.
Katsuki didn’t move. He’d figured that the fucking hospital had been working against him, after he had gotten the police called on him for trying to see Deku earlier. He had been so angry then, he wanted Deku to take back his lies, or what he had thought were lies.
It took him using his Quirk over and over again to figure out the truth. Deku had increased his Quirk strength. By a lot.
He was still awesome, he wasn’t back to square one like his dad said. However he couldn’t do the same amount of damage as he could before. It infuriated him and he needed Deku to rebond with him.
“We’re aware but we want to apologize to him.” Masaru explained. Inko looked them over for a bit longer before she sighed.
“Wait here-” she began but a dark haired man appeared, looking tired.
“I’ll ask him. If he doesn’t want to meet you, would you be okay sending an apology letter?” the man asked.
“Of course,” Masaru said, bowing his head.
Katsuki knew Deku would come to the door. He never could stay away from Bakugou.
The man came back, and shook his head.
“He said an apology letter would work best for now,” the man began but Katsuki stopped paying attention.
What? The nerd refused to see him?!
“WHAT THE FUCK?!” Katsuki screamed. “I’m fucking apologizig and the little shit won’t fucking-” his hands crackled with energy and he yanked himself from his mother’s grasp to step forward when his hands went cold and a scarf wrapped around him, holding him there.
“Do not take another step.” said the man coldly. His eyes had turned from dark brown to red, and his hair floated above his head, the scarf he had been wearing wrapped around Katsuki. “I’m the pro-hero Eraserhead, assigned to watch over the Midoriya family. Your actions of trying to force yourself into situations is not welcome here.”
Mitsuki grabbed her son, yanking him back.
“We’re sorry for his actions,” she bowed, forcing Katsuki to do so as well before she pulled him away from the apartment as Masaru spoke to Inko for longer. Mitsuki dragged her son to the stairwell, the boy in shock from losing his Quirk so suddenly still. “I cannot fucking beleive you!” she snapped. “That was the most disrespectful fucking thing I have seen yet from you, and apparently I haven’t seen everything.” she glared at her son, anger burning deep in her eyes.
“Deku-” Katsuki tried but Mitsuki glared at him, silencing him.
“Not another damn word.”
Mitsuki dragged her son down the stairs and to the car, unaware that part of his world view was shattering.
Deku… Deku didn’t want to see him. Deku refused to. Deku wanted a damn letter and not him in person.
Katsuki bared his teeth. Fuck that. Deku would understand where he belonged- under his feet, providing him with power for his future career.
He would make Deku rebond with him, and he would not take no for an answer!!
You know, it occurred to me as I wrote this that Bakugou might claim that Izuku did not help him at all and the bond was completely fake. I tossed the idea around a bit but decided to leave it as Bakugou wanting Izuku to rebond with him. I felt that while Bakugou is a narcissistic egotistical brat, he also most likely would want the bond with Izuku to be more powerful.
The punishment from his parents is something I feel makes sense.
1- the school was a large part in why Bakugou is the way he is. I mean, he was always a little shit as we can tell from flashbacks where BEFORE Izuku was declared Quirkless. The Deku name came before, Izuku was picked on by Bakugou before and more. However, the school did not help by praising him and saying he was going to be great. As well, excusing his actions against Izuku was bad.
2- Removing Bakugou from the school also robbed him of his ‘hero origin’ which you know was FAKE AS FUCK because Bakugou is not an underdog. Rising from a bad school only works if you’re also from a lower income and Bakugou really isn’t.
3- I don’t believe in punishments that are like: we take away everything you love and enjoy. It does nothing and is actually damaging. As well, as Mitsuki and Masaru come from bad families they also worry about being to harsh.
So, change his school and also restrict him from Hero Con for a few years. A good punishment-more so since he will be sent to a strict school where his bullying behaviour is not allowed.
Other notes:
-I have six bonds including Inko for Izuku planned. Suggestions welcome but might not be listened to.
-Dr. Yamanato is a character from another fic- my Omega Quirk one. I didn’t want to make another Quirk specialist character so I just reused her. Honestly I’ll probably keep reusing her because hey- ready made Quirk specialist here.
-The Endeavour thing is more of a warning to Inko then a real plot point. If Aizawa follows it up I doubt I’ll focus to much on it.
-Izuku’s low body temperature and light weight will be brought up often. This is solely to combat the trope where a medical condition is only brought up for plot. It won’t here.
-This actually isn’t the full of Izuku’s Quirk. That will take way more time, effort and experimentation to figure out.
-The reason Bakugou got such a big part of this chapter was for future plotting reasons. I don’t like… actually plot ahead much. I usually know the gist of what I want, and one thing I do know is Bakugou is a minor antagonist for a portion of this fic. Then he gets his redemption. As well, this chapter is more: Here is Izuku’s Quirk mixed with some plot so it’s not to info dumpy?
-Inko is able to pull bigger objects now, she just has never tried because she doesn’t need to pull larger objects.
-Japanese culture puts a lot of stock in apologizing and harmony. (Makes me wonder why Bakugou would be allowed to run around like that so much…) Hence why the Bakugou parents insisted on apologizing. (Oddly enough this makes me realize even more the ‘our son’s fault for being kidnapped’ thing is really a mistranslation/cultural thing where it isn’t meant like that at all based on my research)
-I was told I use a lot of passive verbs so I tried not to here.
I'm so excited!! Also I have many thoughts with the sneak peak you just gave us!!
Ahhh Isabelle I cannot put into words how much I love your thoughts!!!! I am literally so excited for this next part so let’s hope I can actually finish it soon lol
the fact yall complain about no creek when it was never canon until two years ago really shows you only watch south park for it instead of the actual show itself and never will know what the true purpose of it is send tweet.
