The Quirk Creating Hero

{3rd POV}

"IN FIRST PLACE IS... SHOTO TODOROKI!" Present Mic shouted, "IN CLOSE SECOND IS IZUKU MIDORIYA AND KAZUE MINETA WITH A TIE,"

'I... I did it,' Shoto thought as he rode the ice cheetah, before getting off of it, he turned to Izuku and Kazue to see them walking to him with big smiles.

"Nice one, Shoto," Kazue said.

"Yeah, you've gotten really good with your quirk, I'm not gonna nag you about using both hands, I think that fall was reminder enough," Izuku said, causing Shoto to smile.

"Yeah, thank you for training me though," Shoto said while bowing, "I couldn't have done it without you,"

"Oh, come on, if you didn't accept doing the training, then you wouldn't have improved, and you worked hard throughout it," Izuku said.

"No, I'd still have my half and half quirk if it wasn't for you, so it's you, thank you," Shoto said, making sure to enforce how much help Izuku was.

"ALRIGHT, EVERYONE, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK AND LISTEN TO ANOTHER SONG FROM WINTER'S VALLEY," Present Mic shouted once everyone had gotten through the gates, "STUDENTS FEEL FREE TO GRAB LUNCH AND SAY 'HI' TO YOUR FAMILIES," Izuku felt his phone buzz in his pocket, he looked at it to see that he had a message, he opened and read it.

{Messages}

(AFA = Izuku, Crispy = Touya / Dabi)

Crispy
Hey, Cole and I are at the festival, I'm gonna tell Sho about me. Can you ask him to meet me out at the front gate?

AFA
Cool, I'll tell him that you want to talk to him, see ya.

Crispy
Wait, don't say I'm Touya. (Read)

{Real World - Shoto POV}

"Hey Shoto, Touya says he wants to say hi, he's at the front gate," Izuku said bluntly, causing Shoto to choke on air.

"You're kidding, right?" Shoto asked.

"Nope, look for the edgy guy that looks like a burnt, purple emo," Shoto thought about the description for a second.

"Wait, wasn't that the Dabi guy from the USJ and training?" Shoto asked.

"Yes," Izuku said simply, Shoto stared for a minute before running to the entrance.

{Front Gate}

Once Shoto got there, he spotted Dabi with Cole and ran to him, tackling him to the ground.

"You're alive, you're really alive," Shoto cried, tears pouring from his eyes, when he spotted Dabi, he easily imagined what he would look like without scars and it perfectly matched his elder brother, Shoto got off of Dabi, "why didn't you at least call us, so we knew you were alive? Mum was so sad when she heard you died, that was why she finally snapped in the first place," Shoto asked, Dabi looked a bit regretful.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you guys, I just couldn't live with him anymore," Dabi said, the two stood in silence.

"Man, I feel like such a third-wheel," Cole said, he never left and the two had forgotten he was there, "let's head in, shall we," he said, turning to walk towards the stadium, "I want to see Winter's Valley's song,"

"Yeah, sounds good," Dabi said.

"First, let's go see Mom, Touya," Shoto said, to Dabi's surprise.

"Wait, is Mom here?" Dabi asked in surprise.

"Yeah, Izuku was able to convince the hospital to give her the day out... more like he demanded it and they couldn't argue with him," Shoto explained.
