STORM

Home At Last

OC List for references:

Venus: Denki's stepmom has dark skin, green eyes, and white box braids. She married Denki's dad, pro hero (and canon character) Ereku/Elecplant, after Denki's mom passed away. She has a plant quirk that allows her to bloom any plant from her palms.

Ereku: despite being a canon character, he doesn't reveal himself. So I hc that he has very masculine features, black hair, and piercing blue eyes.

Seraphina: Denki's half sister. She is three years younger than him, placing her at thirteen. She had pale skin, textured black hair with white streaks, and green eyes. She's quirkless, but a champion athlete.

Noah: Denki's half brother and Seraphina's twin. He looks exactly like her with the only difference being gender. His quirk is similar to his mother's, allowing him to produce vines from his body. Due to his father, Noah has epilepsy and is prone to seizures.

Dean: Denki's younger half brother, he's younger than Seraphina and Noah by eight years, making him five. He looks just like his elder twin siblings and his quirk is plant-immune electricity, Denki is lowkey jealous of him.

"I c-can't do this anymore, sensei. I'm s-sorry," Kaminari sobbed. He curled in on himself after Hatsume left, leaving just him, Aizawa, and Recovery Girl. After a quirk malfunction, his right arm was no longer functioning properly and received permanent nerve damage. Hatsume had built him a new arm, one that would regulate his quirk better than his human flesh could have ever wished for. It also was programmed to automatically connect to his brain via DNA supplements, so it would act as any regular arm.

"Kaminari, I know what happened was a malfunction, it happens to all heroes," Aizawa tried to persuade Denki, but the small blonde was not having it.

"Really?! Tell that to your class! They hate me now! Bakugo and the others completely alienated me from them! I can't even talk to anybody with Jiro, Mina, Kiri, Sero, or him dragging them away from me! Or if one of them approaches me, GOD FORBID, I get screamed at because I'm forcing them into conversation! I can't do it, sensei! I can't be alone and suffering and betrayed! I have nothing keeping me here! I'm leaving this shit as soon as I can! I'm leaving the hero course, I'm leaving UA, hell I'm probably leaving Japan! I fucking can't be around any of them anymore! I can't!" Kaminari sobbed harder and tugged his hair roughly to stim himself. Aizawa quickly held his hands still, not wanting the kid to harm himself.

"Kaminari, tap your fingers, don't pull your hair," he guided Kaminari's hands away form his hair, then Kaminari began to tap each individual finger against his thumbs, "why did you not tell anybody that they were doing that?"

"Why would it matter, Bakugo is one of the most powerful kids in our year. He's also one of the smartest, why would anyone care that the 'class idiot' is being picked on?"

"Kaminari-"

"I've made up my mind, sensei. I'm sorry," after a few more hiccups, Denki got it together. He took a few deep breaths before wiping his face, standing up, and bowing, "you have been a marvelous sensei, I am truly grateful for your lessons and the experiences you have taught me. Know that none of my final decision was due to your actions, or lack thereof, but rather the actions of my peers. I will miss you, and the rest of my senseis too. Especially Mic-sensei, he was awesome. But, I can't go on any longer, my dorm will be moved out by tomorrow evening," he stood straight up, tears pouring down his face. Aizawa bit his lips and hugged him closely, nearly crying himself.

"I'm so proud of you, Kaminari, for understanding your needs and knowing what you need for a healthy life. I wish you all the best in your future, no matter what career you choose. As your sensei, if you ever and I mean EVER need someone, I will always be there for you. Do you understand me, Kaminari?" Denki nodded and embraced his teacher tightly.
