The Keeper of The Dragon Flame BNHA X OCS

Astral Planes

As the days passed following the mission, Ben struggled to adjust to life without his dragon flame quirk. His absence from Class 1-A became increasingly noticeable. He withdrew from his friends, focusing on the task of reclaiming his lost abilities while grappling with his sense of self-worth.

Mirio Togata, who had been through a similar experience, joined Ben in the counseling sessions provided by the school. Mirio, one of the Big Three, had also been struck by the special bullets created by Overhaul, losing his quirk in the process. His understanding of Ben's situation and the challenges he faced became a source of solace and guidance.

Ben and Mirio often met in a quiet, reserved room at UA, where they shared their struggles and supported each other through their mutual ordeal. Mirio, ever the beacon of positivity, encouraged Ben to maintain hope and focus on his personal growth despite the setbacks.

Mirio: reassuringly I know it's tough right now, Ben. Losing your quirk is like losing a part of yourself, but it doesn't define who you are. You're more than your powers.

Ben: sighing I appreciate that, Mirio. It's just... hard to see myself as useful without them.

Mirio: nodding I get it. But think about what you've accomplished with your quirk. Those skills and the strength you developed-they're still part of you. They don't disappear just because the flames do.

Their sessions were a mix of therapy and training, with Mirio helping Ben find new ways to build his confidence and adapt to his current situation. The bond they formed through their shared experience provided both men with a renewed sense of purpose.

Meanwhile, Ben's distance from Class 1-A did not go unnoticed. His friends, especially those who had been close to him, felt the absence deeply. They continued to reach out, trying to support him in their own ways.

Deku: concerned Ben, we're here for you. If there's anything we can do, just let us know.

Uraraka: gently We miss having you around. You're a crucial part of our class, even without your quirk.

Despite their efforts, Ben remained distant, partly out of guilt for not being able to contribute in the way he once did. He was determined to regain his quirk and prove his worth, but the journey was long and fraught with uncertainty.

In their counseling sessions, Mirio and Ben explored various strategies for rebuilding confidence and resilience. Mirio's experiences with his own loss of quirk provided valuable insights into navigating the path forward. They discussed not only the possibility of regaining Ben's dragon flame but also how to harness his inherent strengths and develop new skills.

Ben: reflecting You know, Togata-senpai, it's strange. I used to think my quirk was everything, but now I see there's more to me than just flames.

Mirio: encouraging Absolutely. Your quirk is part of who you are, but it doesn't define your entire being. Embrace this time as a chance to grow in other ways.

As they continued their sessions, Ben began to see the path forward more clearly. His journey to reclaim his dragon flame was far from over, but with the support of friends like Mirio and the unwavering determination to prove himself, he was slowly finding a way to move forward.

As the days continued to pass, Ben's sense of urgency to reclaim his dragon flame grew stronger. Zatanna, having noticed his determination and understanding the magical nature of his quirk loss, suggested a bold plan. If Ben's dragon flame was stolen through magic, perhaps magic could help restore it.

Zatanna: thoughtfully Since your dragon flame was stolen through magical means, maybe magic can also help us recover it. We could try a spell to travel through the astral planes and see if there's a connection to your powers there.
