This time I will protect them I won't be a coward

At Gamma gym,

Denki sighed while sitting on one of the cement terrains as he looked around helplessly at his friends who were training with determined faces. Ashido Mina, Torodoki Shoto, Midoriya Izuku, Tokoyami Fukimage, Bakugou Katsuki and Asui Tsuyu were in their top form and some of his friends even had three attack moves while he had zero.

He felt so confused on what to do until his amber eyes landed on Torodoki Shoto who was using his two quirks simultaneously. Then he hears a ringing voice of Izuku Midoriya telling him how his quirk was versatile and adaptable during the Stain arc.

'Maybe that will actually work'.

Denki gets up and dusts the imaginary dirt from his jumpsuit and turns around to flinch as Ectoplasm sensei silently stood behind him, staring eerily at him.

Denki swallows the salvia down his throat and nervously asks, "Sensei can I go to the support department?".

The clone nods his head before disappearing. Denki looks around for the real Ectoplasm sensei and spots him speaking to Aizawa sensei in the corner.

Denki jumps down the cement mountain while his boots make a click sound. He starts walking out of the exit building only to be stopped by Mineta Minrou and Rikido Sato who both asked him, what was wrong? And how come he finished his training so soon?.

Denki in hurry replies, "I am going to the support department".

Denki runs out of the gym while Mineta Minrou shrieks from behind Denki, "It's too late to make a modification change no-". only to get hit in the head from a chopping hand  and Yaoyorozu Momo's steel metal rod falling from above.

Iida Tenya politely asks Mineta Minrou not to put any negative thoughts in Kaminari's head at the moment.

As class 1-A students believed that Denki was trying to keep himself happy around them. They were all worried for their sunshine friend's mental health cause some days they caught him zoning out with a sad look on his face. They all felt like he was not his usual self since the kamino incident.

...

Denki ran along the corridors of the ground floor of the support building and opened the sliding door of the support department with a bang noise.

Power loader sensei immediately swiveled around his chair and said, "Hatsume how many times do I have to-". Powerloader stops to see that it was Kaminari Denki the favourite student of Principal Nezu.

Powerloader starts cackling upon seeing Denki standing at the entrance of the support department.

Powerloader stops cackling and asks, "What do you need child? Any sudden change to the costume are impossible now as tomorrow is the only day left".

Denki stares at the Powerloader with a confident look which makes Powerloader's eyes to glint with curiosity and with a smirk he asks Denki again, "So what do you need?".

Denki walks into the support department room with an air of confidence radiating in each step he took and slowly stops in front of Powerloader's work station and says, "I need you make me a support weapon".

Powerloader blinks and says, "Keke I have no problem in making you a support weapon but first you will have to ask The EMERALD's permission for me to make you one as she holds the rights on your both hero costume and support weapon".

Denki stares with surprise at Powerloader sensei. Then asks slowly, "What do I have to do ?".

Powerloader hums at his question and replies back, "You should probably go to her office for permission or make a simple call. Anything that works for you is fine".

Denki decides to call Estella. Since he  already had her personal number.

He stands outside the support department building already being aware that the call would drop if he called from inside the building as they had a jammer installed. This was one of the perks of being a time traveler to him.

Denki dials in the number and leans against the wall of the support course building. After a few rings, the call gets picked up. Then, Denki smiles at the familiar voice and he starts telling Estella on why he had called her and how he needed a support weapon and it was a last minute idea and he waits for her response .

After a few minutes, Estella agrees to send in the support weapon which he had asked for tomorrow between morning and afternoon.

After the call, Denki jumps up in joy only to go red in the face as few students passing by the building start giggling at him

Denki tries to fan his face to make the cherry blush go away before he went back to the gym only to feel something brushing against his boots. He looks down only to get startled.

It was that same black cat strolling around the forest area.

The black cat looks up at him with its monochrome sad eyes, "meowwws" at Denki.

The cat tries to play with his red hooded cape's bow tails. Denki kneels down on the ground and holds the cat in his hands and stares at its monochrome eyes while whispering to himself, "You can't be real right?".

At his question, the black cat, meowww's back at him. As if trying to respond to his question.

The black cat tries to move its face forward to nuzzle gainst Denki's already red cheek.

The little furry black cat purrs in happiness against Denki's cheek.

Then there is a sudden gush of wind and leaves blowing by him which causes Denki to close his eyes. When he opens his amber eyes the cat is no more in his hands.

Denki stares in shock at his empty  hands.

'What in the world is going on here!?'.
