Wounded Canary's Despair!

Powers that Rival OFA!

     Izuku, Inko, and Momo Midoriya have returned to the Family apartment. Izuku smiled kindly to Momo as he gives her a small tour of the place. As he does Inko sits in the living room her mind filled with the revelations she's had that day. To learn that her now foster daughter had been raped by one of their own classmates. How Izuku temporarily held the quirk of All Might himself and had to give it up to keep the quirk around. That her son was essentially forced into a centuries long fued due to All Might withholding information. How her son has always had a power growing within him.

     As she is thinking of it all Momo is in Izuku's room as the two talk about the events of the last 24 hours. Izuku sits at his desk as Momo sits on the bed. He looks to her and smiles. "Momo. How are you holding up?" He asks as she flinches a bit with her head held down. "I'm scared Izuku." She said as she took a few deep breaths. "Scared the class won't accept you or will treat you like a powerless victim." Izuku sighs as he stands up moving to sit beside Momo.

    He grabs her hand snapping her out of her funk. "You're safe here Momo. Mom and I are here if you need us, even if its simply just to talk. You have nothing to fear while within these walls." Momo listened to his words and turned to face the boy. "I wish I could be as confident as you Izuku." She says quietly making Izuku flinch. "I'm n-not th-that c-confident. Truthfully I'm a-always s-scared that the class will t-turn on me. I just can't back down wh-when someone n-needs help. Especially w-with girls. Th-This is the f-first time I've ever h-had a girl in m-my home. Let alone m-my room." He stuttered out with a wobbly smile.

    Momo giggled a bit at that before sighing. "You know with as cute as you are along with that heroic heart I figured you'd have had lots of female friends or at least a girlfriend before coming to UA." She says with a smile. Izuku sighs and takes a moment to gather the words. "Momo b-before I g-got OFA I h-had only ever h-had bad e-experiences with g-girls...they'd p-play tricks on m-me. F-Fake being m-my friend, trick m-me into th-thinking they w-wanted to d-date me. Only t-to have a lot of b-boys and g-girls there. They'd then g-gang up on m-me." He said as his face twisted in pain as if the memories of the beatings were happening then and there. Momo looked on sad for the boy who was gentle and kind. She pulled him into a hug. "S-Sorry Izuku. I d-didn't mean to pull up b-bad memories." He nodded against her shoulder. "It's okay....it's all in the past." He said after calming down.

   The duo sighed as they pulled apart. "You know I knew you were a huge fan of All Might but I didn't realize you had so much merch. Both here and at the dorms." Giggled Momo making Izuku blush and tap his index fingers together. He grumbled when Inko stepped inside with a scrapbook in her arms making Izuku panic even more. Inko smirks and looks to Momo. Hey Momo want to see some pictures of when he was young?" She asks making Izuku freeze. Momo smiles bright. "Yes please!" She exclaims further scaring our little Izuku. "M-Mooom no!" He panick shouted making Inko grin mischievously. "Mom yes!" She cackles as she and Momo rush to the living room once more.

     "Please universe take me now! I beg of you end my hellish suffering!" He shouted as he grabs his head looking down in shame. He groans as he hears the two women squealing. "Oh my gosh he's so adorable!" Momo squeals out as Izuku falls back on his bed. "I should have known this would happen." He says exhaustedly. 'Yes ninth. Yes you should.' He hears the voice of the seventh in his mind. "Wait...you're still here? How?" Izuku asks after freaking right the fuck out! 'Yes Izuku. I'm still here. The rest have gone to Melissa Shield as has my quirk. The first figured out a way to have my vestige split in two. I'm here but also with the tenth. I don't fully understand it myself. He grabbed my shoulder and suddenly I was looking at a perfect copy of myself. He asked me to have one here with you and the other there with them. Sigh. He's very concerned about you Izuku.' Izuku froze at that as he muttered contemplating how and why the first did that but only with the seventh.
