Tsukuyomi Volume 1: Shadow (MHA X DC)

Chapter One - A Friend In Gotham

After losing control of Dark Shadow at the training camp, Tokoyami feels overwhelming guilt after he inadvertently killed the villain Moonfish. He locks himself in his dorm room in an attempt to cope with everything that happened that day. Outside his dorm, Tsuyu Asui and Mezo Shoji are waiting outside his door, concerned about their friend.

Tsuyu: I'm worried for Tokoyami, Shoji.

Shoji: Tokoyami hasn't spoken a word to anyone ever since we rescued Bakugo from the League of Villains. Tokoyami is still feeling guilty about what happened at the training camp. 

Tsuyu goes to the door and tries to speak with Tokoyami through the door.

Tsuyu: Tokoyami? It's Tsu. We're worried about you! Please say something!

Tokoyami says nothing. The silence deeply concerns Tsuyu. 

Tsuyu: Tokoyami? Please! It wasn't your fault! 

Shoji then places a hand on Tsuyu's shoulder. 

Shoji: Tsu. We need to give Tokoyami his space. There's nothing we can do for now.

Tsuyu: I know Shoji, but we......we can't just leave him like this!

Shoji: I agree, but we can't force Tokoyami to talk to us. We just have to leave him be for now. 

Tsuyu: Maybe Mr. Aizawa can help?

Seeing that as a good idea, Shoji and Tsuyu go to their classroom where Shota Aizawa is sitting in his desk, looking over something in his computer.

Tsuyu: Mr. Aizawa?

Aizawa: What is it?

Tsuyu: It's Tokoyami......we're concerned about him! Ever since we rescued Bakugo, he's locked himself in his dorm. He won't talk to anyone!

Aizawa: I see. I'll talk with Tokoyami. 

Aizawa then walks to Tokoyami's dorm. He knocks on it.

Aizawa: Tokoyami. This is Aizawa. Open up! We need to talk. 

He gets no response. Aizawa decides to use his key to open up Tokoyami's door. He enters his dark room and sees Tokoyami sulking in his bed.

Aizawa: Sorry to barge in, but we need to talk.

Tokoyami didn't respond. Aizawa knew that this wasn't going to be easy. He let out a small sigh and decided to try to console his student.

Aizawa: Look, what happened at the training camp wasn't your fault. It was out of anyone's control. 

Tokoyami remained silent.

Aizawa: I know you blame yourself for what happened, but there was nothing you could've done. 

After a long silence, Tokoyami finally spoke. 

Tokoyami: You don't understand Mr. Aizawa! I killed someone! I know he was a villain....but I still killed him! I know I lost control of my Quirk, but it was still my Quirk that killed him! 

Aizawa: You lost control! It wasn't your fault!

Tokoyami: And what if I had killed one of my friends?! What if I lose control again and this time I kill someone close to me! I....I.....

Aizawa then places his hand on the distressed student's shoulders. 

Aizawa: I understand more than you think. Here's what's gonna happen, I'm gonna pull some strings and have you train with a mentor of mine in Gotham City.

Tokoyami: Gotham City? 

Aizawa: Yeah. He specializes in.....special cases like this. He trained me a long time ago. If anyone should be able to help you get a better control of your Quirk, it's him.
