He's cooking in the evening, humming a tune when he hears a deep voice yell.

'Oi. Brat! What the fuck happened?' Shura panicked.

Why the fuck was a demon panicking?

'What's up?'

'Not "what's up?"' Shura mocked, 'Get in here!'

'Is it urgent? I'm kinda making dinner?' He says, deglazing the pan with red wine.

'Yes its urgent! Turn off the stove and get in here!' He yells.

He sighs and sits down to meditate.

He startles when he notices a Japanese style traditional house instead of the void he'd seen meeting Shura.

They're out in the garden where they see 7- no, 8 shadows forming right there.

"What the fuck?" Izuku is confused.

"You didn't do this?" He asks, it's Shura's mind after all.

"Why would I- No I didn't! What the hell even is this home invader shit?" Shura spits, offended that someone was in his yard.

"You know what, let's just wait and observe them." Izuku probably knew what this was.

"You have a hunch?" Shura asked, setting up lawn chairs he got from god knows where.

"Something like that." Izuku says sitting down.

"Mind telling me?" Shura asks sitting down and grabbing a blanket, he'd kept the place permanently cold.

"Yes actually." He smirks, Shura would figure it out.

"Cocky brat." He spits, dismissing his taunt.

The first to emerge is a woman. Very pretty, beauty mark under her lip, extremely lean and muscular. It made his knees go weak when he noticed her abs but he wasn't about to say anything.

Visibly startled at her surroundings Izuku and Shura guide her inside. Shura looks annoyed at his space being invaded by someone other than them both, but keeps his mouth shut.

"Please take a seat." Izuku says sitting down opposite to her on the kotatsu.

Though clearly confused, she obliges.

"I don't understand, why am I here? What is this place?" The woman asks, her voice mature and shakey.

"This is mine and this brat's shared mindscape." Shura says, and then points. "You're part of that quirk thing, I'm guessing."

"Plus points for that deduction." Izuku says, mimicking the sound of a jackpot.

"Mindscape? Then you're..." She points to Izuku.

"Ninth holder. Nice to meet you." He bows slightly.

"Ah, Toshi picked you, did he?" She says fondly.

'Toshi.... All Might?'

His heart hurts at her mother-like tone, for what reason, he's unaware.

"Yes, though I have no idea why." He fidgets with a glass of matcha, wondering where it came from.

"One for All wasn't just a simple Energy Stockpile was it?" he smiles, remembering All Might's simplicity.

"No, it wasn't. Did Toshi not tell you?" She shakes her head.

"I received it a few hours ago, the quirk I mean." He says, clearing up the confusion.

"Ah. You must have a ton of energy then, to think we hit singularity this early." She says.
