Beast In The Woods

Is it time yet?

Kirishima was launched back once again and he got up again. He was huffing and puffing as he stared down his opponent who seemed right as rain. Izuku grinned back as he let the other teen catch his breath. The two have been sparing for the past half hour in an attempt to help Kirishima try something new with his quirk. The redhead had come up to Izuku and asked him to help him out since they both had transforming quirks. The feral boy was more than happy to help. The only thing was Kirishima was a fistfighter at heart and Izuku was feral animal.

Growing up in the forest ingrained in a fighting style in Izuku similar to wolves. He weaved in and out of attack range while hitting weaknesses. Kirishima threw a punch and Izuku ducked under his arm to jab at his side and kick his knee. Kirishima tried to grapple and Izuku dodged back and then pounced on the boy when he was off balance. Izuku also wasn't scared to use underhanded tactics such as throwing rubble at Kirishima's eyes or attacking while he was down.

"Ready, Shima?" Izuku asked with a grin. His knuckles were ready at his sides. His flesh was pulled back and hardened steel bones were open to the air.

"How...are you not...tired?" Shima asked in between breaths.

Izuku shrugged. "I don't know."

"I think I need a break." Shima knelt where he was across from Izuku. "Thanks for the help, I think I have a good idea of where to go from here." The redhead beamed at his classmate.

Izuku beamed back. "Alright! See you later!" He said with a wave.

As he walked away, he sniffed the air and looked to the entrance of the gym to see 1B stretching along the walls. Aizawa and Vlad were chatting not far from them. He brightened at seeing them and ran over to greet his friends. Monoma saw him and smiled in greeting.

"Izuku! It's good to see you well, ah." The copycat trailed off at seeing his almost regenerated arm. "I heard of your injury, how is it?"

Izuku tilted his head in confusion. "Injury?" Monoma motioned to his arm and he looked at it. "Oooh." He said in understanding. "It's fine, I'm almost done, it doesn't hurt or anything." He said with a shrug.

Monoma smiled at his cavalier attitude towards his missing limb. Kendo approached from the side to join in the conversation. "Izuku? I never got the chance to thank you for helping my class back to camp. So, thank you." She bowed towards him and straightened with a smile.

Izuku smiled back proudly. "I was happy to help!"

"How is your training?" Monoma asked. "It's a bit tricky for me since my quirk is dependent on who is around me at the time." He said with a sigh.

"Great! I can fly now." Izuku said, preening at the surprised looks on their faces. "Wanna see?"

"Very much so," Monoma said and Kendo nodded in interest.

Izuku backed off and took off his shirt in front of everyone. There were many surprise noises and a few wolf whistles. He didn't notice the few covering their eyes with red faces or the drooling face of Tokage. He focused on his wings and they burst out his shoulder blades. He stretched them out and grinned back at 1B.

"Oh God, he can fly," Vlad said from the side.

"That's very intimidating and incredible," Monoma said in awe of the wingspan.

"Thanks!" Izuku beamed and folded his wings to his back. He tilted his head at hearing Kacchan's voice and he turned around.

"Oi! Stop stripping in front of everyone you damn exhibitionist!" Kacchan yelled from atop a concrete cliff.

"Don't say bad words! And I have too! I don't want to tear my clothes! Also, what's an exhibitionist?" Izuku yelled back.

"Don't tell me what to do! Go to the support department to get it fixed!" Kacchan yelled in return. Purposefully ignoring the last question.
