"Ok guys we have the wood for the fire." Kyouka called out as Kyotoku followed behind with more. "Well safe to say that one good thing came from that robot, all the trees were broken up so finding wood is easy." He stated while dropping the wood down in a pile with Kyouka.

"Ok I have a question though." Mika spoke up looking at the wood. "How are we going to light this? The matches were all destroyed in the campervan." She pointed out and everyone looked at the wood feeling dumb that they hadn't thought of that before. "Well that makes this harder." Kyotoku said, trying to think on how to start it.

"Umm, I can do it." I spoke up and they all looked at me, each had an eyebrow raised. "Honey what do you mean? Do you have a lighter? ARE YOU SMOKING?" Inko asked, jumping to a conclusion that I should have expected. "N-no mom, I'm not smoking and I don't have a lighter... technically." I tried to explain. "Just watch for a minute." I told her and she nodded.

I held my hand up and focused that hot and tingly feeling in my hand. I kneeled down to the wood and I let out a small amount of the feeling which made a small flame appear on my hand. I looked around at Kyouka, mom and the rest. To say they were shocked would be an understatement after everything that had happened today. "So I am guessing this is how you burned the area and melted the robot?" Kyouka said, looking at my hand. "Yes. I can control plants as well and release a form of gas that is flammable." I explained as I held my hand down to the wood.

The fire lit up quickly and my hand got caught in the flame. "IZUKU! YOUR HAND!" Mom shouted and tried to pull my hand from the flame with the help of Mika and Kyotoku but I didn't budge. "It's ok guys." I said. They looked shocked at how I was so calm about this. I pulled away from the fire and my hand was gone. I looked around after hearing a gasp from everyone. Mom had tears in her eyes while Mika looked away and Kyouka just hugged Kyotoku who was staring in complete shock.

I looked back at my hand and saw a vine growing out of it. Kyotoku told Kyouka and Mika to look at what was happening and when they finally looked back my hand was just finishing regenerating back. "See what did I tell you?" I said and felt my back get jabbed twice by both Mika and Kyouka. "Sorry to have worried you guys." I apologized and stood up.

"Ok I think it's time for this explanation." Mika announced and went and stood beside mom. "Yeah I agree." Both Inko and Kyotoku said. I looked over to Kyouka and she just nodded at me and stood beside me. "Well we better sit down for this." Kyouka said as she sat down by the fire. Everyone else did the same and we began explaining.

<A long explanation later>

"... and that's all that has happened up to now." I finished and looked at everyone. Their faces said it all, filled with shock, disbelief, worry. The only one that didn't have this look on their face was Kyouka. She knew the story and was gonna stick by me no matter what. 

"So does this mean you are stuck like this?" Mom asked, looking at my eyes glowing green. I didn't know how to answer that. I didn't know what to say to put her mind at ease. "I don-'' Just as I was about to answer we all heard a beeping and all looked to my chest. The symbol on my chest was flashing a red light like a bomb prepared to go off. "IT'S GONNA BLOW EVERYONE GET BACK!" Kyotoku shouted as he grabbed Kyouka and ran back behind a tree as Mika grabbed mom and did the same. "IZUKUUUU." Mom screamed trying to pull from Mika to try and help me.

Suddenly I was engulfed in the same green flash from before. "Wait, isn't that?" Kyouka questioned as she ran out of the cover they were all hiding behind and straight towards me. "KYOUKA!" Kyotoku called as he tried to run after her but tripped on a branch.

When the green flash disappeared I looked around and saw Kyouka running towards me. She jumped and squeezed me in a tight hug. "Izuku you're back to normal." She said not showing any signs of releasing the hug. I lifted my hand and looked at it over Kyouka's shoulder. It was true it was my hand, my skin and nails right there and no green to be seen except for my hair.
