Izuku was in the back of the cafe getting changed. Him and Kayin, his coworker, were stuck with the night shift. It wasn't horrible, it was relatively quiet and calm, only a few regulars come in at night each time. The cafe switched its outfits to winter themed recently. The December months brought snow and cool winds.

Green, red, and white were the new uniforms including holiday accessories. The manager loved decorating and was good at it always left people breathless. "Hey Midoriya, can you get some more sugar packets and napkins in the back? I think everyone took off for the holidays." Izuku replied saying "okay", walking to the storage room.

"Compatibility….Compatibility...where is it? Compatibili-" Izuku heard small whispers from outside next to the storage room. He immediately thought someone might have lost something or in some kind of trouble. He hurries and grabs the napkins and sugar packets rushing back to the front. "I'll be right back Kayin!" He drops off the items and leaves out door quickly to the alleyway next to the café.

"Where is it?! Where is compatibility?!" A young woman was looking on the ground and on the walls for something. She seems frustrated and tired, and a few scars on her back and arms. Along with puncture wounds. "Ma'am are you alright?" Midoriya sprints over to her side worried plastered on every inch of his face.

The young woman looks over at him and goes quiet looking deep in his eyes then gives him a reassuring smile. "Yes….I found you...compatibility successfully found!" The woman jumps into Izuku's arms giving him a hug. "Uh, um...Ma'am?" 

Back inside the cafe, Kayin was taking an order from a customer. "Just hot chocolate and macaroons is good?" The customer nods her head yes with a smirk and Kayin walks off to deliver the order. What is taking Izuku so long? He thought quietly, with a swift motion the concrete wall crumbled and shattered making smoke clog up the cafe.

Kayin pov
What the hell?!?! Shit is Izuku okay? I can't see anything. I swat away at the smoke and call out to anyone who can hear me. "Is everyone okay?!?!" I hear someone coughing in front of me violently. "Dinjin! (Name of the chef) You okay back there?!?"

A sudden explosion comes from ahead assuming it's the kitchen. Fire followed by smoke spreads through the cafe. Kayin quirk wasn't fit for rescue, but he could at least help. He grabs a napkin and folds it within seconds- he made a cute turtle and it starts to glow he flips his wrist and makes 3 more yelling. "Chelonian(means turtle) awaken!"

Ainai, Kayin
Quirk: anything he shapes with his hands can come to life. They run on his life energy and obey his commands as long as he can maintain a good balance of himself mentally. He can summon up to 4 of the same species. 

4 huge turtles appear in a napkin form,  the size of the tables in the Cafe. "Put out the fire for me please!" The turtles spray water towards the kitchen trying to control the fire. Kayin helps two customers out of the cafe and one of the customers calls 911. 

He rushes back inside past the turtles to the kitchen to find the cook. He repeatedly calls out to him and starts to worry. Damnit where is he?! He searches the kitchen coughing from taking in too much smoke. He steps in a puddle looking down seeing dark red and the worst scenarios come flooding in his mind like a tsunami. "DINJIN!" he was panicking and he hadn't noticed one 2 of his paper made turtles unfolds back into small pieces of napkin.

"K-kayin-" I turn around hearing someone call out to me in a raspy voice. I rush over to them quickly and my growing anxiety starts to calm. "Don't talk I'll try to get you out of here!" But how? He's wedged in deep between the floorboards and being crushed to death by a fridge. "Watch for Midoriya…" Dinjin's eyes close losing strength. Damnit! He quickly releases the last 2 giant paper turtles. He reaches for some more paper but his hand gets glued down by some black dark liquid that was sticky like tar. It soin crystallizes making him permanently stuck. 

"What?!? What the hell?!" Kayin looked around and saw his friend covered in black cracked lines. His appearance changed drastically. Midoriya hair was black with a red tip on the down the middle. His eyes were bright gemstones in the moonlight, one being ruby red and the other a golden yellow like the sun. "M-Midoriya?" kayin was mortified. How could this happen? He was gone for only 7 minutes. In mere 7 minutes his friend seemed gone.

"Hm? So that's this little fuckers name? Hmm...I don't know if I like that." Midoriya's voice was lower, slightly. He snaps his fingers, having the crystal on Kayins hand travel up his arm to his heart. A sharp pain sends Kayin on his knees gasping for air. IT BURNS! IT FUCKING BURNS! WHAT DO I DO?!? THAT'S NOT MIDORIYA! Kayin was lost not knowing who was in front of him? Just what villain took his friend away?

(this section will have 2 different fronts. 1 will be in bold the other in regular.)

Midoriya pov
Midoriya's appearance did change overall but that didn't mean he was completely gone. He shakes his head violently and eyes grow wide. “KIll him already man, what are you waiting for?” Izuku looks around for the sound of the voice. “I’m in your head man! Stop looking around like a lost puppy!” Brain now is not the time for this! Izuku rushes to help his friend, breaking the crystal just as the fire department arrives. His friend falls back looking up at his friend skeptical of his intentions. “I’msorryKayinaboutwhathappened!Idon’trememberwhathappenedIjustwokeupandyouwereinjured!Ohi’msosorryIdidn'tmeantohurtyou!” (I’m sorry Kayin about what happened! I don’t remember what happened. I just woke up and you were injured! Oh i’m so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you!)

Izuku kept apologizing until he saw a warm smirk from on Kayin’s face. Kayin immediately hugs izuku with a chuckle, “I’m glad you’re safe!” Izuku hugs him back, burying his face in his shoulder. A sudden thought comes to Izuku’s mind, he pulls away quickly. “WHERE’S DINJIN?!?!” he was back in his panicked state, “OH SHIT!” Kayin turns around and rushes over to the chef’s side still beneath the fallen fridge. Midoriya follows suit and lifts the fridge off the chef and a few debris. “He’s passed out and his leg looks broken.” Izuku lifts him up bridal style, careful not to do more damage and hurries to the front of the building with Kayin.

They were greeted with an ambulance taking Dinjin away. Police came and started to question the two men. Although Midoriya couldn't quite answer them, he couldn’t remember the turn of events that took place. All he remembers is seeing a woman, then the next thing he notices he was looking at kayins trembling expression.

"Excuse me, sir?" Midoriya snaps his head up at the sound of the officer's voice. "Y-yes?" The officer started the game of 20 questions. Kayin never left his side, he could sense something was off. After the police finally gave them some air to breath. "Midoriya you head on home, I'll stay behind and deal with the police." Kayin groans crossing his arms. "But!" With gasp a wave of dizziness hits Midoriya. He grips onto his colleague's arm.

"Midoriya?! What's wrong?!" His colleague catches him lean him against a nearby wall. Midoriya's body was burning high with a fever. His cells felt like they were being ripped piece by piece and he felt each of them. This unbearable pain made him slide down against the wall on the ground, curling up into a ball choking up blood. Kayin called over some paramedics that took Midoriya into immediate care. What a hell of a night this turned out to be.

Minopiluv: hi!~ so about updating in February. . . . .I lied (apparently). This month was to post another book I have been working since middle school. While preparing for 3 projects back to back (fucking at school). This book will be coming to an end soon. The second book will be more planned out and less horrific than what you had to experience while reading this. I hope you have a wonderful day/night! Please excuse my filthy hormones in certain parts....and for late warnings. 🥲
