[IC] BNH Academia: Quirk-y Fates { Alternate & Angel }

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya's mom unloaded all her stacked worry about her son as the chance to do so came rightfully. She spoke of how worried she was starting from the Sports Festival-where he was literally crushing down his own fingers- up to now, her son always destroying himself in seemingly any incident he was involved in. As much as she knew how much he wanted to be a hero, she was worried for him. As his mother, she didn't want him to get hurt so badly. And now he experienced a threat that could've killed him, right up to his throat. It was too much for her to handle.

"Izuku... can't you stop this? Mom can't handle any more of this... I don't want to see you get hurt more."
Midoriya clenched his fist. It was a dream he longed for, and something more now. There was All Might, and the entire country, in the future, depending on him. He had the power descending from the past to carry on. Now it was a responsibility, more than just a childhood dream.
"I'm sorry, mom..."
Mrs. Midoriya looked up at her son.
"I need to move on."
Just as her eyes were about to flood with tears again, Midoriya shook his hands rapidly.
"I... it's been a dream from my childhood, and there's more than that now... I don't want to give up now."
His mom managed to show a smile at him. Midoriya helped her wipe the tears off her face. She took a deep breath and slowly took a seat again. Midoriya sat next to her, between his mom and Nensu.
"So... who's this nice little lady here?"
Midoriya's mom said, trying to change the subject from the glum one.

[AngelBites15]

Nensu honestly didn't know how she would be able to relax the tension in the air, as well as that grim tone left behind in the aftermath. She fidgeted with her fingers a little, as she watched the scene before her, still trying to find the right words to help ease the situation, and the woman's worries. This was Izuku's beloved mother, obviously.
So, what could she say?
Just by watching the scene, it made her think about her own mom; the one who actually held faith in her own children, and who would do anything to support them. It only made her wonder whether if she was doing okay in the hospital, and it also made her realize that she hadn't visited her; one of the few figures in her life to actually support her dreams, and reassure her that she was okay. Now, with having to cross paths with Midoriya, it was as if he had the ability to conquer anything thrown at him. No one in her life, did Nensu ever think, would be able to survive Loma's wrath; let alone stand up to her, and not be afraid.
Izuku seemed confident enough to help her, and he proved it, after he showed her the first sign of romantic intimacy.
It jumps back to the question that the kind woman was able to ask her.
"Oh! Nensu Todoroki, ma'am! I’m a classmate of your son's, and...we're dating."
She nervously added the last bit.

[AlternateMan]

A moment of silence loomed around them after Nensu nervously added the last part of her statement. Both Midoriya and his mom froze on the spot. Midoriya slowly, and cautiously, turned to his mom, and quickly turned away at Nensu as soon as he noticed his mom's gaze showering upon him. A cold drop of sweat rolled down his cheek. Even when he was not looking, he could sense his mom's gaze. He couldn't specify her emotion, but it definitely had a lot of curiosity mixed in it. Midoriya gulped. There was a long conversation upcoming. He could feel it.
"His... girlfriend?"
She said.
"Izuku, are you dating?"
Another question, just to confirm. Midoriya slowly nodded. He felt the grip on him tighten.
"I... I don't know how to feel about this.
"...She seems like a nice girl."
Midoriya's mom said. She turned back at Nensu. Then she leaned toward the girl.
"I hope he wasn't a bit too shy with you."
She whispered. Midoriya's face slowly lit up red.

Two new teenagers entered the police station. Hiems and Momo, having been in the mall as well, were evacuated too as Nensu called the police about Tomura's appearance. After listening to the officers' informing, they figured Midoriya and Nensu would be at a local police station. And now, after a bit of roaming around to find the right station, they finally found it. Hiems saw the scenery of Midoriya, his mom, and Nensu from a few meters away, and stopped on the spot, not to interrupt their meeting.

[AngelBites15]

It was now Nensu's turn to start blushing, once the woman started asking her about Izuku's shy temperament.
"Um, not all the time."
She said honestly, as she looked to the side for a second, and bit her lip, already feeling that slight awkwardness in the air. It was like one of those moments in romantic movies where the significant other has to meet the parents of the other. It was a rather funny situation, but once experienced and exposed, it becomes one of those moments where you feel that same amount of embarrassment. Nensu was starting to wonder whether if she revealed it a little too soon.
At the same time, instead of using her words, the girl reached for Izuku's hand, and gently held it in her own.

At the moment of hearing the evacuation of the mall, Momo had to think about the many possibilities that the League of Villains may have something to do with it. The report of the Hero Killer was enough to send mixed feelings upon the public, but then Tomura's appearance was something else entirely. It quite surprised that nobody had seemed to notice him nor sense something else in the air that was disturbing. It was as if the man was able to blend himself in, and not be noticed as someone malevolent. Just what was the capability of the League? Of him?
"What do you think, Hiems? Of this 'League of Villains' thing? And, why Midoriya?"
She asked the teen standing next to her, as she watched the scene before her.

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya's mother gasped as Nensu slowly took the boy's hand. She watched as Midoriya's face slowly heated up to bright red from embarrassment, almost as if she was trying to embed the moment into her brains. She then took the free hand of Nensu and looked at the dual haired girl in the eyes.
"Please take care of little Izuku well."
She said, and let go. Though the lady had been worried about her son and his reckless injuries, seeing that he had someone to rely on and stand beside, she felt relieved. Her concern was that he'd have to go through all this trouble alone, far off from his mother, but so far, he was going well. Seeing him hurt still made her chest ache, but how he was doing cut off a portion of the pain. She could finally manage to smile again.
Midoriya gingerly wrapped his fingers around Nensu's hand.
"I..it's fine, we always look after each other."
He said.

Hiems sighed. It was like the boy was drawing all the trouble to himself. Ever from USJ, where he broke his finger, to when he encountered that hero killer-though he didn't see the fight himself, he saw the injuries and figured it was a very strong foe- and now the leader of the League of Villains himself having a talk with him.
"They've got the guts to pull out big plans in times like this, when Japan's symbol of Peace stands tall."
He said.
"And for Midoriya... I honestly don't know. It's almost like he himself is pulling trouble."

[AngelBites15]

At first, Nensu was quite nervous for the woman’s reaction to her son’s current status. It could go in a million-and-one directions in these kinds of scenarios. To her knowledge, they were all different in the movies; some of them being a good moment; others, a bad moment. She honestly didn’t know where it would likely go, now that Izuku’s mom was “in-the-know”. A part of her wanted to be proud of this; the other, anxious. Parents could be quite protective with their teenaged children spending intimacy with another, while others, would just let it happen.
At this very moment, as soon as Lady Midoriya took her hand, look her in the eye, and plead for the girl to take care of her son, it was, at that moment, Nensu felt that she trusted the teenager to be in Izuku’s presence. It sounded like a green flag. She was initially surprised, but the girl softly smiled, and nodded.
“Yes, ma’am. I promise.”
She said, having to feel that sense of responsibility lay upon her again. She gently tightened her grip in Izuku’s hand.

Momo took some time to think over the possibilities, as well as the considerations, that would lead up to this point. First, the USJ; second, the disturbance at the fair; then, the Nomu attack downtown, and finally, the mall incident. What in the world was going on? Just what, or who, would create this uprise?

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya's mom nodded. She might question more details on this little dating incident, but for now that could wait. The little kids had time to enjoy. But hopefully somewhere without any possible villain lurking around- that was something unacceptable for her.
"Good for you guys."
She said.
"Since you two seem fine, I'll wait for you back at home so you can... settle things down a bit. Just don't come back too late, okay?"
Midoriya's mom left the station, giving the young couple a bit of time to settle down before Midoriya would have to come back home where he was safe and in his mom's sight. Once he saw his mom disappear, Midoriya let out a grand sigh, bigger than probably any he'd let out of his mouth. The sudden reveal of their relationship to his mom, his mom coming itself, and all... was overwhelming. He felt himself slowly lean into Nensu.
"Well... that was a hectic day."
He said.

Hiems settled a hand over Momo's shoulder. She was evidently investing herself in thoughts about today's incident-and the villains in general. He himself had took notice to little amount of details himself, so there was nothing he could say to help her investigate. His best shot was assuring her. And even if Midoriya was in great danger, he'd rush to help him out. That's what being a hero was about, helping out people. He'd break an arm or two, sure, but who cares.
"I don't really have anything to say to help you think, but..."
He said.
"The villains won't stand a chance with every one of us working against them.
"If that helps you ease down a bit."

[AngelBites15]

Nensu watched as the boy's mother managed to make her departure from the station, to the point that she was able to let out a sigh, at the same time where it was in unison with Izuku's own. Looking over to glance at him, just in time to see him slowly lean into her, she allowed it, so she slowly brought up an arm to place it over his shoulder; a signified gesture, saying that she was fine with the contact, as well as to display that the female Todoroki was willing to protect him, if anybody associated with those villains, chooses to step into the couple's radius. 'If those people are planning to take him out, then I have to, at least, keep my promise to Lady Midoriya', the girl thought, before another instance came into her mind - her own mother. Considering that she was able to meet his family, what would it be like if her own mom learned of their relationship. But, it's been years. Years, since she had last seen or heard from her own carrier, who just might be still in the hospital.
"Your mom's really nice..."
The dual-haired said, with a kind smile, appearing on her face, just as she gently squeezed Izuku's hand.
"...like mine"

Momo was still investing herself within the pressure of all of today's details, to the point where she was very near to mumbling. But, it was Hiems, who has managed to put her conflicting thoughts on a stalemate.
"Huh? Y-yeah. Y-you...you might be right. I'm sorry, Hiems. I just...there's so much to it. I can't get it out my mind lately".
The raven-haired teen confessed, just as she placed her hand upon his own.

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya shifted his posture so he wasn't pressing Nensu with too much of his weight. With her on his side, he knew they'd be fine no matter what happens. She was strong.
He nodded to her words. She's been watching for him all these years. Then another matter came to the boy's mind. Nensu mentioned her mother. They'd had chances to get to know each other, but hardly their family. Midoriya's mother met Nensu by this... inconvenient encounter. But for Nensu's mother, Midoriya barely knew anything about her.
"...how is she?"
He asked.
"I.. I'm not trying to be nosy or anything, I just want to know about her."

"Can't disagree, things have been hectic."
Hiems said. Seeing her hand rest on his, he meagerly fidgeted his fingers to lace their fingers together. He tried to give her a reassuring smile, but instead he enxed up giving her an awkward, tiny grin.
"It's fine, even I would be concerned about upcoming events when things are this chaotic. But give yourself some break."

[AngelBites15]

Nensu looked down at the ground, as she thought about her mother; about the pain she had been living in, at the hands of her husband, whom was to blame by the children for the hurt she put upon her twin sibling. The girl listened to the teen next to her, and she could only wonder of her carrier’s current wellbeing. Did she feel safe at the hospital? Is she coping? Was she ready to go home? Or...not at all? That last thought made her retreat into herself, seemingly feeling guilty.
“She’s...um, well, I honestly don’t know, Izuku. We haven’t seen her in years”.
The dual-haired girl admitted, having to sadly sigh.
“I remember...that she was very faithful, gentle, encouraging, and supportive. She believed in us; me and my brother. But, Endeavor...”
She paused, flinching slightly at the name, having to keep her hold on his hand.
“...he hurt her; hurt me, Shoto, and...well, you know the rest”.

Momo sighed, before turning her head to look back at Hiems, giving him a sad albeit relieved smile at his efforts of reassuring her.
“You may be right. We can only focus with our classes”.

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya returned the grip he felt from Nensu's hand. So her mother was a supporting figure. She helped her and her brother cope through hard times, until she was... the boy gently bit his lips. It was just too much pain for someone of his age for him to think of. Seeing the girl flinch as she had to speak the name sparked guilt in his mind.
"Oh.... I..."
He mumbled for a moment. Every time he was reminded of what she went through, his head went white about what to tell her. It was as if nothing would be good enough to mean anything. But he had to try.
"Maybe.. we can go see her some time? M.. maybe after the summer camp, we might have some free time then."
He suggested.

Did that mean he managed to help her ease out? He just had to hope so. Hiems squeezed her hand for a beat and let go.
"Pretty much."
He answered.

[AngelBites15]

Nensu was looking down at the ground, as she continued to think of any other words she could perhaps say. Having to retell that story was a scenario that pretty forced her to jump back into the frying pan she had just escaped from. The girl was thinking about her mother; the woman, who passed her ice quirk down to the "twins"; the woman of whom their father had thrown into the mental hospital, after accidentally hurting Shoto. The dual-haired teen didn't even register on Midoriya mumbling to himself, until he made a suggestion.
"Huh?"
She softly gasped, having to look at him, before looking back to the side again to think about it.
"We could do that. But then, I think about Shoto. I don't know if he would want to see her again, after so many years".
She admitted, having to be not quite sure whether if she should suggest such a thing to him, considering that it was a rather delicate matter that sparked their resentment for Endeavor, although it was a lot more apparent in Loma. She could ask him, but even if he didn't want to go, he knew that Nensu would understand.

Momo slightly blushed, the second she felt the other teen squeeze her hand, before letting go. The raven-haired girl smiled back at him, before taking his hand, and lead him out of the station.

[AlternateMan]

"Oh."
Midoriya remembered that the little suggestion wasn't just between him and her. Shoto would have to come into consideration, and meeting his mother-who was the one to suffer from Endeavor most- might not bring back so good memories. He hoped not.
"Right. We... should at least try asking him... right?"
He suggested. This might be a chance for the twins to ease down their scars possibly. If not, then at least it'd be a nice family reunion. He wanted to help them have a nice moment. Hang out a bit with Nensu in the meantime, maybe get himself introduced to her mom. Nice little things.

Hiems followed Momo outside the station, temporarily dumbfounded from her suddenly taking his hand again. That was quick.

[AngelBites15]

Nensu continued to wonder whether if mentioning this kind of matter to Shoto would be a good idea. A part of her says that it could deepen the scar that was laid upon her brother, but then, confronting the past would possibly calm the twins down.
“I’ll talk to him, Midoriya. Hopefully, all of us will find peace”.
The dual-haired teen laid her cheek against the top of the boy’s head, having to find the security she needed, for such a matter. Nensu could at least find peace in the moment, before she could eventually seek out her twin.
“I hear the park is lovely, at this time, where the stars shine the brightest”.
She said, suggesting such a thing could perhaps take her mind off of these... conflicting thoughts.

[AlternateMan]

"Thanks. I hope it all ends good."
Midoriya answered Nensu. He was still concerned with her and her brother's past, and wanted to help. Hopefully they could all have a happy day, without scarring the twins even more. Lucky for the boy, Nensu changed the topic by mentioning the park. It drove his attention from the matter of meeting her mom, cutting some slack off of his busy brain. Feeling the pleasant pressure of Nensu resting against himself, Midoriya's lips arced to a little smile.
"Maybe we should take a walk then."
He said.

---

After the shenanigans of the mall, the summer camp came. With the destination only known to a few trusted persons and teachers accompanied to instruct them as usual, the kids packed their luggage and entered the bus for the trip.
An hour or more into the ride, the bus was already full of chatter with everyone excited for what they might do at the camp. It seemed like they were well away from the destination, so it'd be some time before they arrived.

Hiems pressed his face against the window. It's already been more than an hour, and he ran out of things to talk about approximately an hour ago. He didn't know what to talk about with Momo anyways. Sleeping was no luck in a loud and shaking bus when he was actually too nervous to sleep early last night. All these years of school and summer camp still sounded exciting.

Midoriya could hardly hide his excitement. What would the summer camp of a hero school be? What would they do? Will they have professional heroes be there as mentors? He had countless questions pop up inside his head. There was so many things to look up to. He turned to Nensu, who he asked to sit together at the departure with less hesitation than he would've had when they first met.
"What do you think we'll do at the camp?"
He asked her.

[AngelBites15]

It was indeed that time to expand their training -- by attending a very special that only a few ever knew existed. According to Aizawa, it was a very special place; one that would help the students find some common ground, in getting to understand their own quirks better. It was built with perfect terrain, and it was also in a position that made it isolated from society. What really got their attention was that very special people will be joining them on their journey of self-discovery.

Nensu wasn't sure what to expect, but it sounded exciting, as it fueled her curiosity. She managed to talk to Shoto the other day about a possible visit they could make with their mother. Of course, after a few phases, within a day, her twin relented, albeit with some relucatance, although Nensu promised to be by his side.

The teenaged girl was sitting by the window, next to Midoriya, considering that she really couldn't say "no" to him, considering the deep bond she had miraculously built with him. She smiled at his question.
"I don't know. Some extra training, I'll imagine".
She gave an honest answer, having to know that it won't be all fun and games, like any normal summer.

Momo was sitting next to Hiems, having to give into the awkwardness between them, in spite of the noise going around the bus. When she pulled the other out of the station that night, the raven-haired girl remembered that she let the night engulf them, when they walked outside. The last thing she knew, was the physical contact when she briefly kissed him, and held his hand.

[AlternateMan]

Midroiya took a deep breath. Extra training. Of course, it was an expected thing. With all those incidents happening in a single semester, they needed more training without a doubt. But he still wanted to imagine that they’d do normal school stuff in the meantime as well. The green haired boy slowly exhaled, his shoulders slowly descending with the breath.
“Maybe we’ll... get to relax a bit? We might be dropped off in the middle of the mountains, but still...”
He said. He knew it wasn’t a good attitude, but as a teenager going to highschool he still wanted to have some fun. Even better if Nensu could join him.

Hiems turned to Momo’s direction, glancing at her face, and turned quickly away. Suddenly he was reminded of that night when Momo decided to kiss him. It was sudden, short, and out of the blue. In the swirling pool of emotions, the confused boy could do nothing but stand still. He might’ve blushed into full, blood red in a long while. He didn’t know, the girl didn’t tell him that he was blushing.
“...did I blush?”
He blurted out.

[AngelBites15]

She could understand the green-haired teen's disappointment. While she was also excited to continue on with their endeavors as heroes-in-training, kind of hoped that there would, at least, be some fun to their work. This made her frown, and begin to wonder whether if the training was all-work-and-no-play. It would be rather cruel, if that were the case. Especially, since everyone of them, are, technically, still minors. The dual-haired teen took a gentle hold of his hand, really to say that she will be there with him, if it made him feel better.
"I'm sure we will find a way to entertain ourselves, Midoriya. During a break or two, maybe."
She softly smiled, hoping to put some wonder in the air for the both of them, and replace the dreariness in the moment.
"You can lean on me, if you want."
It was going to be long drive, so they might as well, get comfortable. Nensu pulled out her MP3 player, and placed one earpiece in her ear, before offering the other to Izuku.

"I didn't see."
Momo truthfully responded back to him, having to continue looking down, since they first got on the bus. She kept wondering whether if it was too early. Considering her previous mishaps of showing that she cared about him, the raven was trying to figure out if she was overdoing it.

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya nodded in agreement to Nensu’s hoping for some fun in their training. What was life without fun?
“O..oh, thanks.”
His face lit up as Nensu offered to lend a shoulder to him. Taking the earpiece, the boy carefully plugged it into his ear. Listening to the music she turned on, Midoriya slowly and carefully positioned his head against Nensu. After hovering a bit over her shoulder, he finally rested comfortably against her. His fingers slowly laced themselves with hers too.

“...”
Was she lying? Or was she not? Maybe she wanted to keep it as a little secret for herself. That did not matter. Hiems slowly stretched out his arm. It lingered between the two, until he finally decided to move it to her hand. He flinched at the first touch of her hand, and then cautiously rested his hand over hers.
“Maybe we could figure out next time.”
He said.

Not long after, the bus came to a halt in the middle of the roads. Students were led outside of the bus, only to reveal that they stopped in the middle of nowhere, staring down at the woods before them. But before they could whine, a quartet of heroes made their entrance, introducing their mission. The students were to go through the forest and reach the camp, where there luggage would be waiting for them. And without warning, they were launched off the cliff.

Midoriya knew who those heroes were. They were the Wild Wild Pussy Cats! And they threw the whole class down the cliff. What a day. Midoriya surged One for All around his body as he landed with Full Cowl activated.
“Is everyone okay?”
He asked, ignoring the painful groan of Mineta searching for bathroom.

Hiems fell flat on the ground, accepting the fate he had to go through. Of course, testing them from the very start was a good way to motivate the kids. However, as soon as he heard something giant move, he stood up immediately. Covering himself in ice for a boost in strength and speed, he looked around as he slowly regrouped with the class.

[AngelBites15]

Life seemed to always make their interactions all-the-more blissful. Once she felt that Midoriya was comfortable upon her being, the dual-haired girl looked out the window, as she left chill music running through her earphones, shared between herself and the other teen. It was the presence of his very being that made allowed her to relax, and for the past few days, she hadn't felt a single sensation throughout her being, in regards to her alternate personality. It took the girl a while to wonder, whether if it was true.

Ever since Izuku confronted Loma, as well as admitted his feelings, Nensu saw light in the long-awaited darkness of her past. To make things even better, he suggested the girl to go see her mother. She hadn't thought about seeing her mother, after all these years, since he sent her there. It only got harder when Nensu learned that her own maternal flesh and blood lost stability, once she was reminded of the very man that hurt her.

From then on, the twins kept themselves distant from her, really for the safety of themselves and their own mother. But, then the thought came, that only happened years ago, not days; she could have already recovered, by now, for all they know. It was Izuku Midoriya, who was able to shed some light on the seemingly long-passed topic - to perhaps visit her; to see how she was doing; to forge newer and better memories. It made the girl fondly smile, as she turned to look at him, and see their hands still intertwined. As of this very moment, it was a start to another beginning.

Momo wasn't aware of the upcoming gesture, as she was still looking down, whether to simply avoid eye contact, or that she was deeply submerged in her own thoughts. Heims' suggestion caused her to blush, breaking her out of the trance that she was in, and his hand touching her own, made her slowly look up at him, wondering whether if he was being serious, or just teasing. Maybe both?

Out of all of the Pro-Heroes, Nensu hadn't heard of the Wild Wild Pussycats before. They were quite the eccentric bunch, but then, that's what made them unique around the bounds of heroism. It made them an interesting team. Especially if they had the means of throwing the class down a cliff. Everybody activated their quirks, in order to reach their desired destinations. Nensu found herself a few feet away from her significant other, after having to land safely on the ground, after skating on the ice she created.

"Alive...!"
