MATURE WARNING!! BE WARNED!! (Listen to song for best experience~)

Narrator's POV:

"....what?" Bakugo blankly says, nothing Izuku was saying was making any type of sense. First he was on about having dreams about how Reno was still alive, and now he thinks he's Reno??

He's fucking insane.

"I-I don't know how, but I think I'm Reno.." Izuku states once more, looking at him with dread and confusion in his eyes.

"You're not. There's literally no fucking way." "Yes there is-" Izuku started to explain himself but Bakugo put a hand up to his face to silence him.

"I literally saw your baby pictures when we were with Inko. YOU were literally there when the fucking pictures were taken Izuku. There is no possible way."

"Well apparently anything is on the table at this point, we've seen fire explode out of hands Kacchan!!" Izuku states clearly, reminding them both that they were dealing with something very dangerous.

"...we need to go  speak to your mom Izuku. Hopefully she'll have more answers." Bakugo was getting noticeably frustrated, but he was trying not to take it out on Izuku.

Izuku said nothing, putting the car in drive and realizing that the windshield was shattered from the gunshot, or whatever it was. He sweeps off the broken glass and speeds off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They both hopped out the car quickly, in which Inko was already waiting at the door for them. Izuku found that strange, but they both retreated into there, finding Mitsuki sitting on the couch.

"Hag? What the hell are you-" Bakugo stopped mid-sentence when he saw her tear ridden face and then he took a good look at Inko, who was still crying.

Inko shut the door, Izuku immediately asking why she was crying. "Boys, can you guys have a seat for a moment?"

They both turned to Mitsuki and slowly nodded, sitting on the couch. It was silent for a moment, Inko sitting across from the boys and next to Mitsuki.

"Mom...I don't know what's going on, but these people-" "I know honey." Izuku was taken aback, and he leaned forward. "So what's going on??"

Inko broke into tears and Mitsuki rubbed Inko's back, looking at the two. "We've...we've been hiding something from you boys. You see...ah..." Mitsuki ran at a loss for words as Inko straightens herself out.

"Izuku, my love, you're a very special boy. I have always told you that. But, I have never explained how special you are.." Inko started, reaching out and holding her son's hand.

"When...when you were born, I named you Izuku. Izuku Midoriya. But that's because, you told me what you wanted your new name to be." Izuku looked at her confused, his eyes tearing up as he tried to catch on.

"Honey, I...your real name is Reno Hasuke. I raised a raven haired boy, who I loved with all my heart. You and Bakugo grew up together. I-I remember, you went over his house one night to go to a baseball game with him, but my baby never came back. It hurt me so deeply. A-And I remember one night, it was long after you had gotten taken, you visited me, through a...vision. A dream. You told me you were alright, and that you had special abilities. I...I thought I was going crazy. You told me that one of your abilities had malfunctioned, and that you were able to see different timelines. I-I can't fully explain it because you never did explain it to me, but you told me that night, that I could have my son back. He could make it to where my memories would stay in tact, but they transferred over to the new timeline, this one."

"Reno, would still go missing, but Izuku, he would stay. Before he left, I asked him where he gotten the name from, and he told me a green haired boy had visited him in the lab and told him that Bakugo was waiting for him. In all the other timelines, Reno had died. But you, Izuku, you lived. Reno somehow found a way to...clone himself. Clone himself through timelines. The reason why these people are after you Izuku? You broke the cycle. Somehow, someway, you broke it. You have your abilities now, and these bad people who experimented on you and gave you these abilities, they don't want you to use them."

"After Reno dies, this timeline dies with it, no Reno has ever made it past the age of 14."

It was silent, and Izuku broke tears, trying to process this slowly but surely. Bakugo had a frozen face, almost like stone. A tear fell down his face as he tried to process it, but he couldn't.

"...so he's technically Reno?" Bakugo questioned in a whisper, looking at Inko. He was confused, heartbroken. "M-Mom...you knew..?" Bakugo then asked Mitsuki, hurt laced in his voice. All this time, he grieved his best friend, thinking he was dead, but turns out, he just took a new form.

Mitsuki slowly nodded, tears streaming down her face. "Katsuki, it was to protect you. When Inko told me I was...dumbfounded. I knew I had to keep this from you, because then, who knows what risky situation you would've put yourself in." Mitsuki explained herself.

Katsuki opened his mouth to argue back, but he was interrupted by Izuku's shaky whisper. "D-Does this mean...Reno..me..I'm still alive? I..I couldn't have escaped the lab successfully if the cycle is broken." 

It was silent as the realization kicked into all 4 of them. This timeline was still alive. Izuku was 20. That means...Reno had to be 20.

Holy shit.

Reno was still alive.
