-- Izuku's POV --
Useless
Nerd
Ugly
Freak
Go die
All of these words replayed in the boys head. Over and over. He was considering following his childhood 'freind's' advice. He knew that Katsuki Bakugo didn't mean none of it. He knew that he wanted to help him up after each beating. But his reputation would fall. Izuku knew Kacchan, Bakugo, didn't want to show weakness. Scared of what other's thought of him, kept him from helping the grennette up.
"...Zuku....Izuku..Izuku!!" Mrs. May was frantically trying to wake up the sleeping boy. She was extremely worried about him. He started to have nightmares a few night ago. She knew what caused them and tried her best to help him.
"Huh?... Mrs.May? What's wrong?! Are you hurt?!" Cried Izuku trying to understand why his favorite caretaker was crying. Ever since he come to the orphanage, right after birth, she would take care of him. She was like a mother. No. She was his mother, no matter what anyone says.
Mrs. May laughed.
" Oh Izu. Always worrying about everyone else and not realizing you're crying yourself.. Hun, when was the last time you actually slept?" She asked concern lacing every word.
"O-oh.. sorry.." Izu said as he slouched into his bed farther, hiding his blushing face with his wings. He knew what was coming. Today is the day he was meeting a family, to hopefully be adopted.
As realization took over he began to cry. He was scared. He slowly but surely slipped into a panic attack. He couldn't hear anything. His vision spotted with tears. His breathing became rigid. Without knowing he activated his quirk, targeting the first person close by.
His wings in closed in him. Hiding him from the world.
---Mrs. Mays POV---
I started to see Izu crying. I called out for him but nothing seemed to work. I could tell he couldn't hear me. I knew I couldn't help. I was scared. He's having another panic attack.. I state trying to still calm him down. That seemed to worsen it.
I reach for his shoulder, forgetting about his quirk. Instantly, I felt emince pain in my chest and I couldn't breathe. H-his quirk. I thought. His feathers are enclosing on my neck faster.
" *Gasp* Izu!! *Gasp* Stop!.. Please" I exclaim. My vision getting worse. I didn't know what to do. I was scared. I did the only thing I could think of to get him to stop. He hates it when I do this but. I activated my quirk with the last of my energy, purple fumes escaped my nostrils, causing izu's quirk to deactivate.
-- Back to Izu's POV --
I felt feathers slowly going back into place. I knew exactly what happened. I hate it when I do this. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
I can't control my quirk. I really am useless. I really am a villian
" I-im s-s-sorry.. " I whisper to Mrs. May. She was on the floor gasping for new found air in her lunges. Almost longing for more. I felt horrible. I only have done this once before when I was five. I remember that day all too well.
| Flashback to when he was 5 |
I was at the local clinic for my weekly check up. Ever since the day I got here they do this. They said it was for my 'health' and to make sure I was 'ready for adoption'. We all knew I wasn't going to get adopted soon. But I never bothered to ask.
I flap my wings. Usually, they take a few feathers and test them for illness and such.
As I sat there waiting for the Nurse to call my name, I picked up a book they had left out for patients to read. I could tell this was meant for adults but I didn't mind. I was always studying college level books In my room while the other kids played. I never understood what they saw in doing that. It wasn't fun.
I really like math. Like LOVED math. I could do equations that the smartest student, Aaron, in our orphanage couldn't do. He's a college student at the near by University. He isn't legally supposed to be here, but he insisted on taking care of me. But I think he just likes having someone above his level of smarts to talk to. Though he'll never admit it.
I laughed to myself as I thought about Aaron. I would always pick on his name, saying " A-Aronn" or drawing out the 'A'. It always made him pout and act all mad. It was funny.
" Izuku Midoriya? " A Nurse in a blue outfit came out and said. As me and Mrs. May went through the door she was in, I couldn't help but wonder where my usual Nurse was at.
I hid my wings to fit through the door.
" M-mrs? " I ask tugging at the girls shirt sleeve. She hummed as a response.
" W-where's M-mrs. Emma?" I more like whispered than actualy said. I look up at the Nurse who just suddenly stopped dead in her tracks. I watched as her faced slowly paled. As well as Mrs. Mays.
" You where switched Nurse's this morning.." The girl said. Clearly lying. But I didn't push. But why would she lie? I kept thinking about this through out the whole checkup until..
" I-i-is t-that a-a n-needle!?" I asked inching further into the corner of the room.
