All Our Scars, but Nothing Without you.

Ad Astra Per Aspera

"Dynamite!" Izuku Midoriya screamed a gut-wrenching scream searching for his Hero-Partner across the battlefield, fallen rubble and dust settling everywhere. The hazed crimson-orange sky illuminated the night the only noise was a crackling in the distance, and the lost smell of fire and burning wood permeated through the midnight air. "DYNAMITE!!" Izuku screamed again now more concerned. Izuku's voice was laced with worry. He clutched at his bleeding side and stood up from where he had fallen during the last explosion. A thick lump raised in Izuku's throat, as a burning pricked at the corners of his eyes, he swallowed it down, ignoring the pain in his body. He stumbled and fell to the earth once more, rolling down a small hill. The pain radiated through his side and up his arm, blurring his vision. Izuku coughed, "KACCHAN!!" Slowly Izuku made it to his feet and began the climb over hills of debris. Finally, he clawed his way over the heap of fallen buildings, clutching at his bleeding arm. Izuku surveyed the area for Katsuki. Suddenly a dusty orange and green glove popped up into the air and began popping small firework-like, explosions, "KACCHAN!" Izuku's body crackled with One For All green lightning buzzing all over him as he took off to his partner who lay under a piece of rubble,

" I-I- Idiot - Hero name, we've been over this." Katsuki coughed, and Izuku rolled his eyes. He reached out and threw the chunk of building off of Katsuki with ease, he reached for him pulling him close cradling him against his chest, and checking for injuries.

"Are you hurt?"

"No," he grimaced

"Kacchan."

"Not bad." he paused, "Mild concussion... few broken ribs, and... maybe a fractured ankle," he took a breath, " A few cuts, I've had worse, and stop calling me that asshole it's Dynamite out-"

"There you are!" Someone cackled from above them "Right where I wanted you Wonder Duo!" The voice sounded like it was on top of the pile of rubble. 

It was the Time Villains they had been chasing but which one? Tele or his partner Tate,

Tele could teleport, and Tate was the master of time manipulation, together they were unstoppable for the time being if the Duo hadn't caught Taki, Tele, and Tate's triplet who could see into the past and 5 seconds into the future, they would have never gotten as close as they are now to catch the pair,

Izuku felt a sharp pain in his head, before he could move, think, or say anything, his question was answered, the world flashed bright white, the world he knew was fading away in quick white flashes, like sharp jabs. Izuku felt like he was falling, suddenly he was drowning, maybe being waterboarded, this felt similar. The headache made it worse. He felt hungover, and that never happens. The pressure that came next was horrendous. It was as if he was being pushed under the ocean floor, soon it was all gone he blacked out to nothingness.

 As Izuku slowly regained consciousness, the world around him materialized. The first sensation to reach him was the cool touch of the ground beneath him, slowly opening his eyes and blinking, he took in his surroundings. His ear rung and his head still hurt, 

"k-ka-chan," Izuku groaned his throat felt dry, as a gentle breeze brushed against his face, Izuku began to sit up he felt numb and confused, and his vision returned in flashes. It was bright as he slowly sat up, looking around for Katsuki, he was nowhere to be found, 

"Kacchan?!" Izuku looked around again, he was sitting in the same rubble still, but the haze from the fires and explosions had cleared away, making the scene unrecognizable, the bright night sky showed down on him the stars above twinkling without any imperfections a cool breeze picked up and blew threw his battle tousled hair. Did he die? Was he in heaven? God Kacchan would kill him if he did. He continued to look around.  He groaned and reached out to steady himself as he pulled himself up into a seating position, the world swayed momentarily. His vision cleared further and pushed himself fully into a sitting position, he took a slow, deep breath, the air pained his throat as he heard distant grumbling from Kacchan,
