Divided Minds

9

She stared blankly at the back of the person in front of her. Her school was doing its annual physical check, and so they put them in line until their name was called. She hated it...not only did it waste her time but it was a reminder..

People have fantasized about having a twin, doing those twin pranks seen on videos. She'd seen them and they irritated you. They refused to see the bad side to being a twin....

"Izuku Midoriya."

She turned ever so slightly to meet her twins eyes. A habit, he would look for comfort and she'd always give. In a second her blank state changed and she offered him a comforting smile. The moment he was out of sight the smile dropped. And she waited, waited for them to call...

"The other Midoriya twin."

Didn't even bother to say her name but everyone knew her. The twin of Izuku, the other twin. Not her, just the other twin.

Recalling that memory always brought a sour taste to her mouth. Now she watched as her teacher Mr Aizawa called people up. He'd appeared shorty after Izuku and had immediately called for a test. To prove whether they belonged in his class or not, regardless with how this sat with her it wasn't her place.

"How do you think you'll do?",kaminari asked

"After what Bakugou did I doubt I'm any good",Kirishima commented

For some reason after Kaminari stuck to her side, Kirishima a red haired boy. Took it as his cue to also stick near her not that she minded but it through her off.

"You guys can keep dreaming",Bakugou scoffed as he crossed his arms over his chest

"Izuku Midoriya."

As if in instinct her  head turned to where he was standing, between Ururaka and Iida. However his head never turned and their eyes never met. It felt low but you blew it off. This is what she wanted but it felt...empty.

"This is scary knowing one of us is going home",Kaminari shuttered

"It's going to be him, he's just a quirkless nobody",Bakugou scoffed

"Did you not see him at the entrance exam?",Iida asked

She watched as he grabbed the ball and got ready, she held her breath. After first seeing his quirk, he'd given her no answers. But promised to tell her when he got "permission".

His arm drew back and his hand released the ball, but the ball flew a few meters before falling to the floor. She stared in absolute confusion and he must have been feeling the same because his eyes gave it away.

"36 meters",the device announced

"My quirk."

"Someone like you doesn't deserve to enroll in this school ",Mr Aizawa asked

"What did...those goggles! Your eraser head you can nullify quirks",Izuku explained with wide eyes,"...why?"

"Are you planning to break all those bones and become a nuisance? Having others to come save you? What kind of hero is that?"

"N-No! That wasn't my intention!",Izuku yelled as Mr Aizawas scarfed wrapped themselves around him

"I could care less what you say, but you'd be a liability in the battle field",Aizawa said as he roughly pushed Izuku away and re-handed him the ball

Her eyes narrowed and a hand on her shoulder made her turn. Kaminari was giving her a shake of his head, and it worked. Taking a deep breath she relaxed. Izuku would have to deal with this on his own. Suddenly his eyes met her, they seemed to be waiting but for what..?

Then it hit her, she offered him a reassuring smile. In an instinct he seemed confident as he turned and once more drew his arm back. Then he let go, causing a wave of air forcing her to cover her face from the dust. As she peeked, she could see him..still standing but holding his hand. One finger was broken

"See ..I'm still standing",he said forcing a smile

She couldn't help but grin like a fool, he'd done it somehow but he'd done it. It was satisfying to see the absolute shock on Bakugous face but now for long.

"Deku! Tell me how you did that?!",Bakugou yelled as he ran at him

However before Bakugou could reach Izuku, Aizawas scarf wrapped itself around his body. Restraining him, and even when Bakugou tried using his quirk it was nullified.

"You, I would refrain from attacking your class mates unless you want to go home. And you, go to the nurses office and have Recovery girl fix you",Aizawa said as he released Bakugou

She watched as Izuku took off towards the school and suddenly she felt the pressure of others'eyes on her. Slowly she turned.

"Now, Midoriya, I hope you are a better example than your brother."

Instant euphoria filled her as she stepped forward. Taking the ball, she didn't look at her classmates for reassurance. Instead she reached for the lighter and immediately she had flames at her disposable. 

As she drew her arm back, the fire hid underneath her skin waiting. She could feel it building up, as the ball flew out of her grasp the fire also flew out impulsing the ball through the air.

"706.0 meters",it announced as she wiped sweat off her forehead

"Next."
