Spectre - (MHA x OC)

Chapter 10: One-on-One

Aiko sat in the stands, watching the first battle. Midoriya vs. the purple-haired boy, whose name was apparently Shinso. They started off by Shinso talking to Midoriya, but whatever they were saying was unintelligible. Midoriya eventually ran toward Shinso, shouting back, but then suddenly stopped. Aiko gasped, watching as his soul almost seemed to be expelled from his body as Shinso's made its way inside. 'So that's his quirk...' Aiko thought to herself.

Aiko then watched as Midoriya walked out of bounds, but noticed something in the entrance to the arena. There were eight figures, one of them being the visage that was holding Shigaraki. 'What the fuck???' Aiko thought to herself. 

Midoriya's body was then taken over by their energy and in an instant, he flicked his fingers and created a huge gust of wind. "Holy shit..." Haru remarked.

"You saw that, right?" Aiko asked.

Haru nodded as the two continued watching the fight. 'Whatever this is... his quirk involves multiple spirits...' Aiko thought to herself, standing up and opting to find Midoriya and confront him about it. As she was walking through the hallways, she heard a voice. A deep voice.

"Shoto... It's time you gave up this childish rebellion. You're different from your siblings, you're my greatest masterpiece."

Aiko's body shivered and Haru looked around the corner. "Endeavor..." he whispered.

Todoroki grit his teeth and walked past him, muttering something as he walked past Endeavor. Aiko gulped and quickly turned around to walk away. However, as she was walking away, she heard heavy footsteps walking toward her. "You."

Aiko's body froze. She turned around to see Endeavor standing several feet behind her, staring her down. "Y-yes sir?" she asked.

"You're in Shoto's class, yes?" he asked.

Aiko gulped and nodded. "He is currently going through a teenage rebellion and rejecting me. If you could, convince him to use his flames," Endeavor instructed.

Aiko took a deep breath and said, "W-with all due respect sir, I can't do that..."

Endeavor growled, "And why not? If you did, I could secure you a place at my agency."

Aiko frowned at the attempted bribe and mustered all of her courage, choosing her words carefully. "A-as generous as that offer is... I think that Todoroki has made his decision. T-there must be a reason he feels like he can't use his flames, and I'm going to respect that..."

"So you're saying that you're ok with him limiting himself and the potential that I bred within him?" Endeavor asked, "If he keeps up with this, he will never surpass me, much less All Might."

In the background, they heard Present Mic announce, "TODOROKI WINS!"

"Bred within him? Ok that's gross," Haru remarked, stepping between Aiko and Endeavor for protection as Aiko considered her next words for a moment.

Around another corner, said boy walked up, still furious at his father. He then picked up on the conversation. "N-no... in fact I'd be happy if he accepted his flames. B-but not for the reasons you want him to. I-I want him to be the b-best hero that he can be... the hero he chooses to be... a-and when he chooses to use his flames... I know that it will have nothing to do with you... and e-everything to do with himself," Aiko answered.

Todoroki's eyes widened with surprise as Endeavor narrowed his eyes. "What are you hinting at?" he asked.

Aiko shrank a bit in fear. "I-I'm just saying that... maybe you shouldn't view your son as a tool... and more as your son..."

Endeavor growled, the flames on his face growing in intensity. "You foolish child..." Endeavor growled, stepping toward Aiko.

Todoroki was about to step in when he heard Haru growl, the lights in the hallway flickering. Endeavor stopped and looked around. He then scoffed, "That's right. You're the freak paranormal girl," he remarked before walking away.
