Resentful Shadows (Discontinued)

chapter 8

3rd Pov
—-------------------

“ Who the hell are you? You…you're not ah!”

A raging Bakugo was holding onto his bleeding arm, his face glaring at the person in front of him. His hands sparkled as he tried to attack, faking a punch to his attacker's gut, only for his hands to be pulled upwards, and kneed in the stomach. He couldn't react in time as he was pushed back by the person's quirk.

He punked, trying to stand up as he glared, tears threatening to fall.

“ I'm sorry…”

Izuku pov
—-------------------

Two weeks went by fasting then expected. I turned to my mother who was going through a box of my old stuff. I gazed at her confusedly.

“Izuku, look, it's your favorite Teddy.” She happily said, holding up an all-mighty teddy bear. I pouted, sighing softly. “ Woah! Really! Can I see it mother? I couldn't believe I had such an amazing collection of the hero all might. ” I said. She gave it to me as I warmly smiled. All might, the mighty number one hero.

“ What a fucking lie.”

My mother was grasping as I covered my mouth. Shit, I've said that out loud.

“ Hun…" She stood up and approached me.
“ That Language!? You've been hanging around Katsuki too much, haven't you? "Please don't copy your friend.” She said worriedly, and I held back my laughter.

“ Was that language bad? Kacchan said, it was okay to say. ” I grabbed my mother's hand and gave her a soft smile. She holds my hands within her as she lets go. “ I'll have to talk to him about that later. Oh! Izuku, I talked with the school board yesterday, and they've said you'll be able to start school first thing tomorrow." That took me by surprise, and I happily smiled. “ Wait, really!" Finally, I can get started with my plan. “You're the best, mother!!”

While she went downstairs to prepare dinner, she and I discussed As a number of videos of up-and-coming heroes appeared, my smile started to fade, and I hurried over to the computer to get my notebook.

“Guess, I should start working."

I remarked as he watched each video from beginning to end, noting fresh information and suggestions for how their characteristics may be improved. He noticed a person with a recognizable trait. Umbrakinesis? the capacity to manipulate darkness.

The video showed a man manipulating the shadows around him into shadow puppets while wearing a ridiculous costume, possibly employing this technique to cause some form of destruction.

The shadows weren't actually attacking in the video; rather, they were mostly pretending that they were. His enemy will focus there rather than on him.

I snatched up my notebook and jotted the details down, grinning as I continued to observe the film and got some fresh ideas for my own quirk.

“ Izuku. "It's dinner time, hun.” My mother shouted from downstairs. I stopped the video.

“ Coming, mom.” I said, sitting my notebook down as I ran downstairs, smiling at my mother. “ I’ve made the best superfood. Ever!”

She set down the plates.

“ A superfood!? Really.” I asked with a shocked expression. I looked down at the plate of meat on a stick. “ Yakitori! It is super.” I pretended to be amused.

“ Yeah! Let us sit and pray." She said as I sat in the chair, bowing my head as my mother mouthed a prayer.

I'm sorry this chapter is shorter and may even seemed rushed. I'm going through a writer's block- (: only for this story! Haha.
