Midori the Villain

Sentient Aura

Izumi felt like she was floating. What seemed like only moments ago her entire body had felt like it was combusting into flames. Now that the pain was gone, all she felt was the sensation of weightlessness. Did she die? Had the pain killed her?

She could hear the echoing sound of voices around her and sighed. No… just sleeping, she thought. Relief swam through her and she smiled enjoying the feeling. She wished she could open her eyes… see something other than the dark.

“Midoriya? Miss Midoriya?”

“Hmmm? Who’s calling me?” She murmured and tried to open her eyes. She started to feel pain again and groaned. No… she didn’t want to leave this comfort just yet.

“Come now, Miss Midoriya, it’s time to wake up.”

“No… let me sleep…” she complained and stretched out. She gasped as the sudden cold sensation of water splashed on her face. Izumi opened her eyes and barely caught sight of herself floating a few feet off the ground before she found herself slamming down to the ground. “Kya! OW!!!!”

“Seems the quirk has taken root.” The doctor nodded holding a dripping pale of water.

“Eh?” Izumi glanced down and gasped as she saw the dark fire-like energy streaming out of her hands and feet. “Whoa… this is… my quirk?”

“Yes, it’s called Sentient Aura.” All for one explained. “It is a living mass of energy and power that you can control. It has many uses that I think will suit your needs. I will teach them to you.”

“Thank you, Mr…” she trailed off. “I’m sorry I never got your name.”

“You may call me Sensei if you’d like as I’ll be your teacher for the next several months.” All for One chuckled.

“Sensei…” She stood up smiling. “How can I ever thank you?”

“It is my pleasure, sweet child.” Hr paused ans shifted in the seat so he leaned on his knuckles. “I do have one harmless request of you.”

“Okay…” she beamed, eager to please. “Tell me.”

“The doctor is poor company… not very entertaining and doesn’t hold up a good conversation. I would like it very much if you’d come see me at least once a week and tell me of your daily activities. Maybe join me in a game of checkers or chess?”

“Sure, I can do that. Although I don’t know how to play chess.” she scratched her cheek laughing sheepishly.

“Another skill I shall teach you.” He grinned. “Now then, it’s late and you should go home before your mother worries.”

“You’re right. Um… how do I turn it off?” she held up the energy looking at it with worry. Suddenly the aura dissipated and she blinked in surprise. “Wow that easy?”

“I wouldn’t say easy. Sentient Aura is created from your own energy and fueled by your emotions.  You’ll come to find the only limitations on it is your own imagination. Now…” He pressed an intercom.  “Kurogiri…”  the warp appeared and All for One turned his attention to her.  “Shigaraki will see you home. Please come see us again after school and we’ll get started on your lessons. Also I think it would be in your best interest to keep your new powers a secret until you’ve fully mastered them.”

“Yes, Sensei. Thank you again.” She bowed and hurried into the warp.

“Such a naive child.” The doctor huffed. “Do you really think she’ll be of any use to us? And you gave her one of your most powerful quirks.”
