The Line Between Light And Dark

Ch 9. Facing The Truth

Izuku ducked as Recovery Girl tried to whack him over the head once more, he'd been healed but now he was stuck getting scolded relentlessly.

Although he can't say he blamed her, after all he'd been stupid to try and test out a Quirk he'd never used during a battle. Training battle or not, but he did and now he was paying the consequences and to make it worse, Yagi was also there giving him a disapproving expression.

"I know I did something stupid, but physical violence won't get a lesson into me you know!" Izuku cried out and he looked upwards, trying to use the move his little brother used to when they got into trouble...the puppy eyes.

Yagi just sighed, pinching the bridge of their nose in clear annoyance.

"We aren't angry, just disappointed at how a two hundred year old former Super Villain was stupid enough to use an untested Quirk in a mock-combat scenario." Yagi stated dryly and he chuckled nervously in response.

When it was put that way, he could understand why they were mad. Perhaps he had taken on more mental affects of his de-aging then anticipated, which might affect his rational thinking in the future. How annoying, he was sure that if Yoichi and him repaired their relationship with each other more...they would start endless teasing him for now being the younger brother both physically and apparently somewhat mentally as well.

He just ducked his head, unaccustomed to the shame that filled him for his actions. Even after quite some time de-aged, he wasn't used to feeling things as strong as he was currently. Sure he was by no means emotionless when he was an adult, but he had been diagnosed as a Sociopath when he got bored once and decided he had nothing better to do.

Sociopaths unlike Psychopaths were made not born, that was a key difference and despite technically being the same condition Sociopaths did feel emotions, along with right and wrong. It just wasn't able to...influence them to the same degree it would a normal person.

"Sorry about that, I believe had an answer to the...did I get de-aged mentally as well as physically now." Izuku admitted, grumbling slightly as Yagi's eyes widened slightly and Recovery Girl just sighed.

"How much do you think you were de-aged mentally?" Yagi asked, making Izuku think for a moment.

"Not much, likely my emotions got higher as is typical with teenagers and I also might be less logical with decisions, as well as prone to making bad decisions more then my adult self would have been." Izuku stated with a frown, trying to think of anything else.

Recovery Girl nodded, sighing slightly.

"Not completely unexpected, but it's good to know you aware of your own emotions." Recovery Girl stated, before giving him one more look over." I don't see any current issues, but if something hurts, then please let me know...your free to leave."

Izuku nodded, getting off the examining table and saying a quick goodbye to Yagi and Recovery Girl, before turning to head to bed. He pulled out his phone, sending a quick text to Katsuki who had told him to let them know when he was alright.

Me - Safe and sound, but got an earful from Recovery Girl and All Might.

He then placed the phone back in his pocket, just in time to arrive at the door to the UA apartment he was staying in and when he opened the door Aizawa was sitting at the kitchen table with a laptop.

"Hey Aizawa-sensei." Izuku greeted as he walked by, only for the man to look up with a frown.

"Problem Child, I thought I told you to call me just Aizawa when I'm not teaching." Aizawa grumbled in acknowledgement and Izuku smirked slightly, pleased to get on the mans nerves.
