salvare [BnHA] ft. Ritsu

7

It isn't really hard for Ritsu to become a full pledge Hero Deku and Hero Dynamight's fan.

Seeing past footages of from the time when they two enter UA and then to the whole news until now, it more or less gave Ritsu the information on how the two of them grow to now.

Although the gap from grade school and middle school were empty...-

In the past days, Ritsu also became acquintances with their friends- Ritsu noted, they were the people that's also at the UA sports festival (yes yes they watched those fights) and also the ones that's at Izuku's frame.

Ritsu more or less confirmed they're their classmates.

Then soon Ritsu also come to know of how their high school life are, from the pictures the Dekusquad and Bakusquad had and the stories they told to them.

It had them a bit curious on what made their relationship strained at the start of high school (as how their classmates told) but.. Ritsu won't pry further without the two's knowledge.

Catching up not from the two's point of view is interesting. And that was the huge point that made Ritsu to become amazed of their childhood friends and so, Ritsu's a fan now.

Ritsu stayed over the mansion Izuku and Katsuki split together, as their friends told. From there, Ritsu knew their friends don't know that the two are together- or was it that she's the one who misunderstood and they're just actually a really really close friends ???-

Neverthless, Ritsu got the guest room as theirs, gotten the okay to rearrange it as however they like it.

To be honest, Ritsu had more or less realised that agreeing it means that they also in a sense already agreed they'll live there like, for a long time. But again Ritsu had agreed to be.. spoilt by the two so...----

Back to the room, they had a proudly showcase of the non-wearable Deku and Dynamight merchs. Most of the room is now filled with the two's color image, in where actually Izuku and Katsuki don't even know because they respected their privacy and never came inside their room.

They're actually proud on how their room became. Might've placed a bit too much effort but- what can they say since they finally is able to decorate a room- their own personal room too!

Now that Ritsu lives here, they slowly forgot about the last fifteen years they spent locked away. As Izuku and Katsuki told, they slowly and are surely, giving the love and care Ritsu deserved since the last decade.

It's been years since Ritsu felt alive and they can't be more than grateful to the two.

"Hatori is still not caught?"

Ritsu halted as they heard the voice of Izuku and Katsuki talking at the dining room. Most likely their hero work.

"Those damn useless shits,"

"We've raided his labs and hideouts that Riri let us know but, why is there still no leads of the villain himself?"

"Tch, the datas over the lab are all useless too."

Ritsu leans over the wall not wanting to bother the two who already sound stressed. But still, labs? They never knew there were labs over there.. Well they did only stay over the jail-ish room.

Their eyes trails to the still able to be seen cuffs mark over their wrist.

"--Shiroma's dead. It was suicide."

"Fuck."

Speaking of cuffs, Hatori also placed a collar around them. Now that they remembers that, their finger slowly ghosts around their neck. It was also metal collar, same color as the cuffs but the chains were.. not the same was it?

"--no more leads?"

Was it even chains? Is there any other..-

"All we know is that they're doing experiments with humans and quirks."

Ritsu's eyes widen slightly. They didn't knew Hatori were doing- wait no. They had heard.. did they? Ritsu slowly slumps down, leaning against the wall as a sudden flash of pain hits their head.

"Is it set?"

"Yes sir."

"Okay, command to them so they'd not remember the talk after this until I ask them to sleep."

"Yes sir."

-------a hand was placed over their body as a jolt as if an electricity run through them-

Ritsu let out a choked gasp as they caught on their breath. 'W-Wha- what- was-' They slowly placed their hand back to their hurting head, 'a memory? That voice was- Ha-' suddenly their head feels so refreshed and their eyes widen slightly.

They remember that time.

That voice was- were- Hatori and.. their father ?

Wait- how- how'd- how did they remember so suddenly-?

"Riri?"

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Are you okay??"

Their blue eyes slowly moved from the floor and to Izuku and Katsuki's. "Izukun, Kacchan," they breathed out tiredly, "am- am I not.. quirkless?" They asked out confusedly.

The two gave the same confused look.

"What makes you think so?"

"Wait, before that, let's go to the dining room and sit properly okay?"

Izuku ushered on, reaching for their hand and the two led Ritsu to the said dining room.

Ritsu was handed a cup of water soon and they drank it slowly.

"So,"

Placing the empty cup back down, they gave a serious look to the two as they started explaining their.. thoughts.

Of how they might be.. still under an influence of a quirk and how they nullify it themself when they touched their head..?

"That's.."

They continued to slowly tell of what they'd remember. "It's not much of a lead but, that time.. Hatori, he told me that he'd succeded in copying the doctor.. League of Villain's noumus..?" Ritsu trails off, unsure of the unfamiliar name.

"He what?!"

Ritsu jumps from the sudden change of tone and went defensive unconsciously.

"Kacchan!" Izuku pulls the blond back to sit and frowns too, "To think we'll hear the league of villains after years," he then added on. "We have to contact Tsukauchi too in case,"

"But still, what'd that make your quirk is? Memory recovery? I wonder what activates it... touching your own head? Would it work to other people? If it is memory recovery, does it only recover lost memory or like forgotten memory- locked memory?"

A hand chopped over Izuku's head, "too loud nerd."

"Ouch, geez." Izuku pouts, "I can't help but to be curious!"

"Yeah yeah. We'll see as time goes."
