Chapter 4
It's been five years since Izuku has been "rescued" from Professor Jenze's laboratory and he is slowly getting use to normal life.
Like what Rin said, Izuku is being looked after by her and the dark green hair boy became surprise slightly when he found out that she moved residence. Rin explained to Izuku that she moved sometime after his disappearance from the orphanage, saying that she wanted to get away from the Inko Madoriya.
However, an issue that Izuku encountered is that he's anti-social, he'd figured out that his time being held captive caused him to become distance towards others.
Rin hoped that Izuku can over-come this issue, saying that heroes are needed to be social to help the citizens.
Speaking about heroes, Izuku's Quirk is still causing him pain and he and Rin have been doing their best in trying to get rid of the pain, but it's a slow process.
Another thing that cause the light/darkness Quirk user to become worried is the nightmares that Izuku suffers on a regular bases. Rin knew that Izuku will suffer from nightmares, but she never knew that it would this bad.
She was tempted to get into contact with the R-rated hero: Midnight, whose Quirk allows her to put people to sleep, thinking she would be able to stop Izuku from having nightmares.
Currently, Izuku is at the national museum of science and is in the astrology section, looking at a genuine meteor that some scientists decided to give half of it to the museums.
"Hmmm. such a strange interior." Izuku thought as he stared at the whitish metal/crystal-like mineral that were in the meteor, currently being displayed in front of the meteor.
"Are you interested in the ruhr meteor as well?" A voice suddenly asked, causing Izuku to jump in surprise. Turning around, Izuku's eyes fell on a girl with short, brown hair and matching eyes.
"Y-yes, I-I am!" Izuku replied, stuttering slightly. The brown hair girl giggled slightly.
"Hehe. Sorry for making you jump." The brown hair girl said with a smile on her face.
"It's okay." Izuku said, calming down slightly.
"Alright then." The brown hair girl said before silence descended around the two of them. After a few seconds of silence, Izuku realize something.
"Have I seen you before?" Izuku asked, frowning slightly and the brown hair girl tilted her head to the side slightly.
"Now that you mentioned it, you do look familiar yourself." The brown hair girl replied as a deep-thinking expression appeared on her face. After a few seconds, something clicked within Izuku's mind.
"Do you attend Rejin middle school by any change?" Izuku asked, causing the brown hair girl to nod her head before her eyes suddenly widened.
"That's right! you're in a different class as me." The brown hair girl said, causing Izuku to nod his head as he started to remember.
"My name is Izuku Zwen by the way." Izuku introduce himself to the girl. It was agreed sometime after Izuku started to live with Rin that the dark green hair boy's surname should be changed.
However, Izuku still call Rin "Aunt", something that made the light/darkness sad slightly.
The brown hair girl started to giggle.
"What sort of name is "Zwen"? are you half German?" The brown hair girl asked, still giggling. This cause Izuku to scratch the back of his head.
"My aunt's half German...Can you please stop giggling?" Izuku asked, starting to feel uncomfortable.
"S-sorry. My name is Ochako Uraraka. Nice to meet you, Zwen." The now named Ochako introduce herself to Izuku, once she stopped giggling with a bright smile on her face.
"B-beautiful." Izuku thought, blushing slightly.
"...So, what are you doing here?" Ochako asked, starting up a conversation.
"Huh? Oh, I'm just looking at the ruhr meteor like what you said, this is my first time seeing it actually." Izuku replied, scratching the back of his head.
"I've been here before, but I just like to see the meteor, especially those whitish metal-like material." Ochako explained, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"I know what you mean, they are an interesting mineral..." Izuku said before frowning slightly as he stared at the rocks, something that Ochako notice.
"Is something wrong, Zwen?" Ochako asked, her head tilting her head to the side.
"It's nothing to worry about, but...I just have a strange feeling of familiarity about those metal/crystal." Izuku replied, causing Ochako to gain a confused look on her face.
"That...strange. It said on the small board over there that the scientists that gave the museum half of the meteor said that the mineral are made of an unknown compound and also produce some sort of energy." Ochako explained, causing Izuku to gain a surprise look on his face.
"Really?" Izuku asked, becoming interested just as a thought entered his head.
"Well, that does kind of makes sense, since it's rock that came from outer-space." Izuku muttered in a thoughtful tone of voice.
"Yeah...That's true." Ochako said, managing to hear what Izuku said.
"But it doesn't explain my sense of familiarity about those whitish metal though." Izuku said, frowning slightly. Ochako hummed slightly.
"Maybe you're came from space as well." Ochako joked, causing Izuku to laugh and a few seconds later, Ochako joined in.
"The meteor crashed onto earth twenty years ago if you're wondering." Ochako pointed out once she stopped laughing.
"Oh, thank you, Uraraka." Izuku said, smiling slightly.
"Your welcome." Ochako said, smiling as well. Silence surrounded the two again.
"...Are you by yourself or are with others?" Izuku asked, feeling awkward slightly.
"I'm with my parents, they are in a different section of the museum, though. Wat about you?" Ochako asked, becoming curious.
"I'm with my aunt. She was called here today to increase security because of some new pieces that is arriving to the museum." Izuku explained, causing Ochako to nod her head with interest.
"Does your aunt work at the museum?" Ochako asked, becoming curious.
"No, She's a pro-hero." Izuku replied, causing Ochako's eyes to widen.
"Really?! What's her name?" Ochako asked, causing Izuku to glance around slightly before leaning into Ochako, causing the brown hair girl to blush slightly.
"Her name is Eclipso." Izuku whispered in Ochaco's ear, causing the brown hair to become confuse slightly as Izuku pulled away.
"Eclipso...I think I've heard about that hero. She uses a light/darkness base Quirk, right?" Ochako asked, slightly unsurely, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"That's right. a good combination of attacking and defending." Izuku commented, causing Ochako to nod her head, slightly surprise at the analysis.
"Izuku, who are you talking to?" A voice asked, causing both Izuku and Ochako to turn their heads to see Rin approaching them.
"A-aunt Rin! Have you finished your job?" Izuku asked, surprise to see the light/darkness Quirk user.
"Yes, I have. The new museum pieces are safely stored away." Rin explained before her attention towards Ochako.
"And who's this young lady, a new friend you're making?" Rin asked, a small smirk appearing on her face. Izuku started to blush slightly.
"Aunt Rin, this is Ochako Uraraka. She also attends Rejin middle school." Izuku introduce Ochako to Rin, causing the light/darkness Quirk user to become surprise slightly.
"And why haven't you mention this girl to me before when she attends the same school as you, hmm?" Rin asked, raising an eye-brow.
"...She's in a different class as me." Izuku replied, feeling slightly embarrassed. This caused Rin to nod her head slightly before focusing her attention towards Ochako.
"Hello, Uraraka. It nice to see that Izuku is making new friends." Rin said with a warm smile on her face.
"Aunt!" Izuku exclaimed, feeling more embarrassed. However, Rin ignored him.
"It's a pleasure, Miss Zwen, your nephew told me a bit about yourself actual." Ochako said, causing Rin to glance at Izuku who nodded his head slightly.
"Oh, really. And what has Izuku been telling you about me?" Rin asked, becoming curious.
Ochaco glanced around, making sure that no one around them is within hearing. "Zwen said that you're the pro-hero, Eclipso." Ochako replied in a quiet tone of voice, causing Rin to glance at Izuku with slightly purse lips.
"...Sorry." Izuku said in depress tone of voice. However, Rin shook her head.
"It's okay, Izuku. Uraraka seems to be a trust worthy person." Rin said, causing Izuku to sigh in relief and Ochako smiled slightly.
However, it was then that Ochako notice two people.
"My mum and dad are here, I should get going. Bye Zwen." Ochako said as she started to head towards her parents whilst waving at Izuku.
"Bye, Uraraka..." Izuku said before gaining a slightly depress look on his face.
Rin notice this and gave the dark green hair boy a sympathetic look.
"Don't worry, Izuku. You did say that Uraraka goes to the same school as you, didn't you?" Rin asked, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"Then there's no need to become upset, you can see your friend again." Rin said, causing Izuku to nod his head before realizing something. "I...just made my first friend in a long time..." Izuku thought, becoming surprise slightly.
It's the first day back at school at Ochaco is currently walking through the hallways.
"Where can I find, Zwen? It can't be that hard to find a boy with dark green hair." Ochako thought, starting to gain the idea that she should ask someone if they see Izuku. However, this idea disappeared when she notices a boy with dark green hair sitting on a bench outside.
"There he is!" Ochako thought, a smile appearing on her face before starting to head in the direction of Izuku.
With the green hair boy, Izuku is writing something down in a notebook.
"That's villain's Quirk, Drill, is mostly useful for escaping, but is it possible that he could focus his Quirk onto his arms rather than on his legs, possibly making him able to destroy any sort of defense." Izuku thought as he wrote notes down.
"Hi, Zwen!" A cheerful Ochako greeted, causing Izuku to jump.
"Gah!" Izuku exclaimed, jumping a few feet of the bench and drop his notebook. A few students looked in their direction but ignored them.
"Oh! H-hi, Uraraka." Izuku said, causing Ochako to giggle slightly.
"Sorry for making you jump." Ochako said in an apologetic tone of voice.
"It just like back at the museum." Izuku said, causing Ochako to blink a few times.
"Oh yeah. History repeating itself." Ochako said, before giggling again, causing Izuku to giggle as well. it was then that Ochakco notice the drop notebook.
"Let me get that for you." Ochaco said before picking the notebook up.
"...Thank you." Izuku said nervously, scratching the side of his cheek.
"No problem!" Ochako said in an enthusiastic tone of voice as she hands the notebook out to Izuku.
""Quirk analysis for the future. Volume four."...?" Ochako read the title before giving Izuku a raised eye-brow as the dark green hair boy picked up the notebook.
"...Yeah...I like to analysis people's Quirks..." Izuku explained, mumbling slightly.
"That's an interesting hobby. Never seen anyone doing that before." Ochako said, causing Izuku to chuckle slightly.
"Yeah...I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to Quirks." Izuku said quietly, but Ochako heard him.
"Well, it just shows that you have a keen eye for detail." Ochako said before sitting down next to Izuku, causing the dark green hair boy to start blushing.
"She's sitting too close! She's sitting too close!" Izuku repeated in his head as he started to panic slightly.
"Zwen...are you okay?" Ochako asked, tilting her head to the side.
"Y-yeah! C-c-completely fine!" Izuku exclaimed, causing Ochako to nod her head slowly.
"Okay, if you say so..." Ochaco said slowly, becoming worried slightly.
"...Do you have a Quirk of your own, Uraraka?" Izuku asked, starting up a conversation.
"Yes. My Quirk is called Zero Gravity. It allows me to remove the gravitational pull of anything I touch through these small pads on the tips of my fingers." Ochako explained, showing Izuku her finger tips where pink pads can be seen.
"That's interesting..." Izuku said before quickly opening a page of "Quirk analysis for the future" and starting to write notes.
Ochako stared at him for a few seconds before giggling slightly.
"Oh! I should have asked you first." Izuku said, abruptly stopped writing.
"No, it's okay. Keep writing." Ochako replied, causing Izuku to nod his head before starting to write again.
"I can use my Quirk to lift anything that is within three tons and if I use it too much I can become nauseous." Ochako explained, causing Izuku to nod his head as he wrote more notes down.
"Can you use your Quirk on yourself, making yourself run faster or jump higher, Uraraka?" Izuku asked, causing Ochako to smile sheepishly.
"I can, but I will become nauseous faster." Ochako explained, causing Izuku to nod his head again whilst writing more notes down.
"What about you, Zwen. Do you have a Quirk?" Ochako asked once Izuku finished writing.
"I do. It's an evolution Quirk called "Darwin's Theory". It's allows me to adapt my body to suit any environment. But I can only do one change at a time which disappears after the next the change." Izuku explained, causing Ochako to gain a surprise look on her face.
"That's new, I've haven't heard of a Quirk like that before." Ochako admitted, causing Izuku to smile slightly.
"I know. Aunt Rin said that I'm possible the only one with that kind of Quirk." Izuku said, causing Ochako to nod her head with interest.
"And what about side effects?...If you have any that is." Ochako added, not wanting to offend Izuku.
"Currently, the only the side effect that I have at the moment id that I feel pain whenever I activate the evolution ability." Izuku replied, causing Ochako to wince slightly.
"Owch! That's a nasty side effect." Ochako said, causing Izuku to nod his head in agreement.
"Yes, but I believe that's a temporary side effect." Izuku said, causing Ochako to tilt her head to the side slightly.
"What do you mean by that?" Ochako asked, becoming curious and Izuku became nervous.
"Well...the growth of my Quirk was...forced..." Izuku replied, causing Ochako's brown eyes to widen.
"Forced?! What happened to you. Is your aunt strict or something?" Ochako asked, becoming shock.
However, Izuku quickly shook his head.
"My aunt got nothing to do with forced part. It's...kind of personal..." Izuku said, starting to become nervous again.
"Okay..." Ochako said, not wanting to push Izuku for answers. However, it was then that Ochako realize something.
"What do you mean by "whenever I activate my evolution ability"? It sounds like there's more to your Quirk." Ochako pointed out, causing Izuku to freeze slightly.
"...Well, for some strange reason, whenever I use my Quirk, my whole body turns dragonish." Izuku explained, causing Ochako to gain a slight confused look on her face.
"Do you know why this is?" Ochako asked, causing Izuku to shake his head.
"Nope. Me or my aunt can't find any link between my dragon form and my evolution ability." Izuku explained, causing Ocahako to frown slightly.
"That's...interesting to know..." Ochako said in a thoughtful tone of voice.
"I don't find it important at the moment. As long as I can use my Quirk to help people, I'm fine with that." Izuku said, smiling slightly.
Ochako stared at him whilst blinking her eyes.
"...Uraraka...Is there something wrong...?" Izuku asked, becoming nervous under Ochako's stare.
"You...want to be a Hero?" Ochako asked, causing Izuku to nod his head with enthusiasm.
"Yes, it's been my dream since I was a child. I'm hoping to attend U.A, but the acceptance rate there is pretty low." Izuku replied, causing Ochako to smile.
"I guess that we're the same then, I want to become a Hero as well...along with attending U.A." Ochako admitted, causing Izuku to gain a surprise look on his face just as the school bell rang.
"Well time to head back to class. Let's get going." Izuku said, causing Ochako to nod her head.
It's the end of the day and Ochako is walking by herself, having said goodbye to her friends at the school gates.
"Finally, I can escape from the teasing." Ochako thought, blushing slightly.
The reason for this is because Ochako's friends spotted her speaking to Izuku and started to tease her.
"Zwen probably face teasing from his friends as well."Ochako thought before seeing a familiar person with dark green hair some distance in front of her.A smile appeared on her face.
"Zwen!" Ochako shouted, causing Izuku to stop and turned around.
"Urarka?" Izuku asked as the brown hair girl caught up with him.
"Hi, Zwen. Walking by yourself?" Ochako asked, causing the dark green hair boy to nod his head.
"C-can I walk with y-you then?" Ochako asked, stuttering slightly.
"Y-yeah. Sure." Izuku replied, surprise slightly and starting to blush.
"Thanks." Ochako said with a smile on her face before the two of them started to walk again.
"Have you gained a fever or something, Uraraka?" Izuku asked, causing Ochako to tilt her head to side slightly.
"I haven't gained a fever. Why are you asking?" Ochako asked, becoming curious.
"It just that your cheeks are red." Izuku pointed out, causing Ochako to blink a few times.
"Oh! My friends were teasing me earlier because they spotted me speaking to you." Ochaco explained, causing Izuku to nod his head slightly.
"Did your friends spotted you speaking to me and started to tease you as well, Zwen?" Ochako asked whilst smiling.
However, Izuku gained a nervous look on his face.
"I...don't have any friends..." Izuku mumbled, not making eye-contact with the gravity Quirk user.
However, Ochako managed to hear him.
"You...don't have any friends?" Ochako asked in a shock tone of voice.
"Yes...I'm an...anti-social person..." Izuku replied, scratching the back of his head nervously.
Ochako stared at the dark green hair boy with a shock expression on her face.
"But...you such a nice person, I thought that you would have friends..." Ochako said slowly, causing Izuku gain a slightly uncomfortable expression on his face.
"Something...happened to me in the past that caused me to become anti-social." Izuku explained, causing Ochako to gain a sad expression on her face.
"Has this got anything to do with his Quirk's forced growth?"Ochako thought, feeling curious.
However, she decided to change the subject.
"I was wondering, Zwen...Is it possible that I can see your transformed state?" Ochako asked, causing Izuku to gain a slightly surprise look on his face.
"P-pardon?" Izuku asked and Ochaco could stop herself from giggling slightly.
"I've been curious since you mentioned this transformed part of your Quirk. I just want to see what it looks like." Ochaco explained, causing Izuku to frown slightly.
"Well, I don't see the harm of showing you, but I can't activate my Quirk in public." Izuku said in a thoughtful tone of voice as Ochako started to glance around them. The two of them are in park with little people about.
Ochako's brown eyes fell on some closely grown trees and an idea formed in her head.
"You could activate your Quirk behind those trees. I doubt anyone will see." Ochako explained, pointing towards the trees.
"Yes, that will work." Izuku said before heading towards the trees.
"That's good. Come along now." Ochako said before grabbing Izuku's hand and dragging him. Izuku began to blush as Ochaco lead him into the closely grown trees.
"There! I don't think that anyone can see us." Ochako commented as she peered through the trees before focusing on Izuku.
"Right. Ready whenever you are." Ochako said with a smile on her face.
"O-okay then." Izuku said as he place his bag on the ground and rolled up his sleeves, allowing Ochako to have a better view when he transform.
Closing his eyes, it took Izuku a few seconds to feel a strange sensation running throughout his body. Ochako's eyes widen when she saw Izuku's body transforming into its dragonish appearance.
"So? what do you think?" Izuku asked, his voice sounding different slightly.
Ochako remained silent as she stare at Izuku, examining his dark green scales.
"...Do you find it scary?" Izuku asked, starting to feel rejected.
However, Ochako shook her head.
"No. you look...friendly." Ochako said slowly and Izuku became silent for a few seconds before smiling slightly.
"Thank you." Izuku said, causing Ochako to become confuse.
"You're the first to see this form. Only my aunt and a few others knows about this." Izuku explained, but Ochako became more confuse.
"What about your parents, don't they know?" Ochaco asked, causing anger to briefly appear in Izuku's eyes.
Thankfully Ochako haven't seen the look in Izuku's eyes.
"My...parents don't know about it." Izuku replied in a calm tone of voice. This cause Ochako to become surprise slightly.
"How do Zwen's parents don't know about his Quirk? Are they...dead?" Ochako thought, realizing that Izuku haven't mention his parents at all.
"You know..." Izuku began to say, causing Ochako to perk up slightly.
"You said that I look friendly, but that won't be good when I'm encountering villains in the future, I need to be scarier." Izuku explained before attempting to make himself look scary.
However, this caused Ochaco to burst out laughing.
