Spirit healer hero: recovery boy ❤️🩹/Healer Danny
Since arriving in a new world of heroes Danny chooses to hide most of his powers and settles as a healer in training at UA with his newly acquired ghostly healing powers. (ultimate enemy AU)
-Nezu and Recovery Girl are the only ones who know Danny’s full background (other students and teachers could learn about it later)
-Nezu fully accepts Danny’s chosen path as a healer hero, but Nezu still gives Danny occasional little nudges in other hero courses/training.
-Ex. Nezu offering Danny a space to train in private in his ghost form under the guise of keeping his skills sharp for “emergencies”
-Nezu sees potential in him and he doesn’t want it to go to waste due to Danny’s fear of the past and future. He wants Danny to overcome this, and carve out the best possible future for himself whether it be as a world-renowned hero or a healing hero.
-Danny's housing arrangements are within U.A. grounds with Recovery Girls as his guardian (students *cough* shoto *cough*theorize that Danny is Recovery Girl’s grandson)
Danny ghostly healing/spirit heal
-Danny's healing power is a newer ability he gained after the nasty burger incident and after his ice powers came in
-His healing tends to feel uncomfortable when used on humans, compared to when he uses it on ghosts; it feels cold and unnerving when applied to human patients. Most students didn’t like getting healed by Danny because he gave them the heebie-jeebies. (At the start)
-It also drains Danny a lot (at the start)
This is due to Danny’s output being very strong when healing powers are in use
-Later when Danny got better control of it the process is less strenuous for both the user and patient. In patience, only feel a light chill when they’re being healed whether it’s a minor or severe injury.
-When Danny is in a deep state of focus when he’s healing a patient (or when he’s happier, comfortable, or regenerating) sometimes his ghost core purrs hums. When students and teachers become aware of this, they find it adorable (others find it hilarious).
-Danny’s healing abilities are the strongest this world has seen. Earning him a lot of unwanted attention (public, hero safety commission, villains).
-He can heal very severe wounds, regrow someone's limb, and he can even revive someone if they haven’t been dead too long
-A possible drawback is that if he isn’t controlling his output properly when he’s healing a very severe injury, it can cause the patient to go into shock or even die.
-Later, when he has full control of his new healing ability, he can still make the healing process unpleasant if he wants to (he doesn’t do this for severe injuries for obvious reasons)
-Now when he heals human patients, they only feel a light coolness on whatever part that’s being healed
-Due to the leak in UA, the villains are aware of Danny’s powerful healing ability, which makes him a target (good luck to them, trying to kidnap a half-ghost kid without ghost-hunting weapons or restraints)
-Danny is the absolute little shit whenever a random henchman tries to kidnap him. Danny mostly uses his wits and ghost powers to escape under his captors’ noses, (can’t let the villains know that he is more than just a healer)
-Danny being Danny, doesn’t inform any adults or classmates of the attempted kidnapping, out of habit (he used to keep things from his parents and even his friends to not worry them, if he doesn’t see something as a problem or threat).
-When teachers and students do eventually find out they are concerned and furious that Danny didn’t notice. Then even more concerned due to Danny acting like it’s just another Tuesday. This spawns a rumor within staff and students that Danny has been dealing with kidnapping attempts since he got his “quirk” due to healing quirks being somewhat rare and very valued (not to mention how powerful Danny’s “quirk” is). From that day fourth the recovery boy protection quad has been formed much to Danny’s annoyance, and embarrassment.
-Villains might have to get more creative with how they try to kidnap him if it’s even possible (a specific quirk or blood blossoms if they exist in this dimension. Maybe the traitor, leaks that Danny is “allergic” to blood blossoms)

-Danny has mostly been training under Recovery Girl and interning with other doctors or pro healing heroes
-He has some prior knowledge/experience from Sam, his parents (yes they have some first aid knowledge at least in my headcanon), and the frostbite clan (after the incident he stayed with them for a bit)
-Danny also trained in private with Nezu’s supervision (they use leftover bots from the entry exam)
-Maybe one of the students managed to catch the tail end of the training session…. Bakugo/the bakuquad maybe. But they weren’t able to get a good look at the student. All they saw was some green blasts, a blur of black and white, a blight flash of light and Danny (after he changed back to his human form) at the end of the wreckage, breathing heavily from a distance (so they didn’t see Danny’s ghost from just the tail end of the flash and the dissipating glowing rings around his waist)
-Danny does some tinkering (under Power Loader’s supervision ) in the support course but he isn’t as much of an inventor as his parents (he’s working on it though)
-Izuku and Danny probably be best buds since he gets injured the most which Danny is slightly concerned about he knows it comes with the job but dang man stop breaking your bones you need those😭
-Danny managed to come up with a compromise to get Izuku to stop breaking his bones from being reckless by agreeing to heal him. By doing this it would be a bit of a punishment since at the time Danny’s healing power was very unpleasant no matter the pain tolerance, and he would technically be guilt-tripping Izuku since it drained Danny. And Izuku wouldn’t want to exhaust and worry his new friend. (yeah I don’t think Danny would like the idea of Recovery Girl just cutting Izuku off from healing him from reckless injuries, but he does agree that he needs to find another way to use his power without hurting himself or being reckless about it.)
-I also think it would be funny if after Danny got past his first initial impression with the students of UA some students develop crushes on the new healer hero in training
-USJ arc: Danny wasn’t allowed to heal anyone injured during the USJ incident due to him not being able to control his new healing ability at the time. Danny understands why, but he still feels guilty that he couldn’t do anything that day because he was somewhere else while everyone was fighting for their lives.
-I’m not sure if Danny would be able to heal all might stomach injury since it’s so old. so it’s optional if Danny can heal it completely or if it can only be treated through multiple sessions (or maybe not at all)
-Ova2 training of the dead: Danny heals Izuku just enough so Izuku can eat his cake and leave to hunt down a certain angry Pomeranian to … talk🙂
-Hero killer/Stain arc: Danny heals tensei enough that he won’t have to retire but he’ll be out of commission for a bit. Though doing this overexerts Danny. Tenya is forever grateful but he’s also guilty that he intentionally or unintentionally pushed him this far. Recovery girl is especially mad when she gets word of it.
-Shie Hassaikai arc: Danny heals/revives Sir Night Eye. He would have to change into his ghost form to do it though. Since starting at U.A. he hasn’t gone ghost for anything besides training with Nezu and emergencies. (he has mostly been training in this human form with his healing powers). This would be the first time someone other than Nezu or recovery girl has seen him in that form (at least in clear view compared to someone else). Danny passes out for 1-3 days (it would be his first time reviving someone with his healing powers so he would be spent ghost form or not)
-Whether Danny decides to choose to be a healer indefinitely or return to being a hero, or a little bit of both by the end of his journey I think his suit would get at least a couple upgrades.
-His suit would be a mix of his classic hazmat suit and a male version of recovery girl suit. Base suit being white with black boots, gloves, collar, and belt while in his human form and inverted in his ghost form
(I put way too much effort into this AU. This is just a color test I drew while watching a movie with my sis. I’m still not planning on drawing any art for these AUs….. for now).
-Maybe he’ll add some upgrades like a health scan gauntlet that looks like a mash of Tucker’s PDA and Fenton tech (a nice call back to his friends and family)
-when I first wrote this I wasn’t really thinking about any possible ships for this story? prompt? AU? ….
It could probably focus on some of the main canon ships or fanon ones. As for Danny I will either say one-sided ships(maybe potentially reciprocated) with mostly students having a crush on him while Danny is just clueless for the lols. But now I think it’ll be funnier/cuter if Bakugo just unintentionally became a part of that crowd. Like him slowly developing a crush on Danny with every other healing session he has with him, you know the enemies-to-lovers trope. (Danny definitely wouldn’t get along with Bakugo at first since Danny hit it off with Izuku so he’s a bit protective of Izuku and his initial impression of Bakugo’s attitude. On Bakugo’s he would not like Danny at first cause he’s you know Bakugo… he’s just some extra in Bakugo's eyes until things change… and he is pissed about it.)
Danny x everyone (just crushes)
Danny x other U.A. students (just crushes)
