Coexistence

Covert Maneuvers

Izuku POV:

I start to dream my normal nightmare of being in that torture chair in my basement. The smell of blood and sight of my pulled out limbs are known throughout the room. "Time for the next session Izuku." I begin to glance over to my father who has a syringe in his hands. "You think this scares me you bastard? This is nothing now!" "Haha perhaps, but can you say that to them?" He points down at hundreds upon hundreds of Ghouls and humans grabbing me. "Flesh...Give us your....FLESH!" They begin biting into me to force me to begin activating my kagune. It's only stopped when my father drives the syringe into my eyes mucus membrane to send the hot liquid of RC suppressants inside it. "Now Izuku, what's 1,000 minus 7?" I start to feel the tear of the beings that I have consumed over the years before counting backwards. "993...986...9 hundred....979. AAAAARRRRHHHH!"

Ochako POV:

I begin to wake up to see Midoriya digging his own fingers into his arms and screaming in pain. "Midoriya, what's wrong?" He begins slamming his head into the wall to make cracks in it. I try to stop him to only have him kick me off. "965!...958!...951!..." 'Is he dreaming of the torture?' "Izuku!" The door opens to show Eri running in to hug Midoriya and activate a kagune. It starts to wrap around him to force Midoriya awake. "Wh-what happened?" "You were having that nightmare again." Inko states this while in the door with what looked like a gun. 'Was she gonna shoot him?' I look back at Midoriya and see a new face on him. So far, I have only seen him neutral, angered, and annoyed. But this face was different. His face was pale with him sweating and scared for his life. This was a face of him being petrified.

Once he calms down, we all head into the kitchen for Inko to get us some water. Theirs a silence until Inko speaks up. "It was that dream again, wasn't it." He nods with me still confused. "Izuku has nightmares of his past torture experiences regularly. I normally have to shoot him awake with the gun you saw." "...You shoot your son?" "They aren't real bullets." She takes a cartridge out of the gun to show the bullets. "Rubber?" "Specialized RC bullets I had Chisaki make for me when we first met because of my worry about moms safety. I'm not as coherent in that state as you think." I start to feel my side to realize I was bruised from Midoriya kicking me off and throwing me to the corner of his bed. He notices me holding my side to get up and head into the kitchen. He comes back with an ice pack he tosses at me. "...Sorry." He looked down a little with my mind still amazed at what happened tonight. 'Just how close to unstable is Midoriya?'

Time skip to after lunch Izuku POV:

The morning was rather dull for school for my liking. Before the day started though, I had mentioned the situation to Nezu and Aizawa to have my seat changed with the tail guy Ojiro to be right behind Uraraka so she doesn't slip and say something she shouldn't. I had also mentioned her to pretend last night didn't happen so she wouldn't think and differently of me. I hate people thinking I'm weak. I hate it even more when people think I need professional help. It was finally the afternoon, and hero classes were gonna start any minute now."I AM," we hear All Might enter through the door with everyone showing excitement. "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A HERO!" Everyone was getting excited for some reason about this guy being their instructor. 'Heh. If he went toe to toe with Arima or Eto, they'd see where he really stands.' While thinking to myself, he mentions today will be battle training with us using costumes. We all grab our specific costume and head to the changing rooms to put them on.

Once we were done, we all headed out to see All Might on ground Beta with a certain white haired someone with him. "Hey All Might, who's this guy?" The redhead Kirishima mentions this with me answering for him. "Have you ever heard of the CCG's Reaper?" Everyone stays quiet while I explain. "This is Kisho Arima, Special class investigator and the only investigator to date to get special class by the age of 21. To make it simple, he's the person that will end any Ghoul that is in his sights." "I am also the one that had given Midoriya a reccommendation for anyone that cares for that." Everyone looked at us amazed before Bakugo starts shouting "YOU THINK YOUR BETTER THAN ME BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOME EMO CUT HACK GET YOU IN!?" "YOUNG BAKUGO, CONTROL YOURSELF! YOUNG ARIMA IS OUR GUEST FOR THIS LESSON."
