IzuMina Week 2020

Day 4-Why Do I Put Up With You/Red String

A/N: A big thanks to the My Hero Academia fan page on Facebook for bringing up the idea for this one. Hopefully, I make them proud.

It had been a rather uneventful week at UA for Class 1-A. Outside of some Hero training, most of the week had revolved around normal high school activities. However, the class was still abuzz about the rumor they heard.

Apparently, they were supposed to have a special Pro Hero guest that was going to talk to them, let them know a bit about their work as a Pro Hero, and go over their Quirk. Of course, this excited Izuku more than anything, since he was absolutely thrilled to learn more about another Pro's Quirk.

Of course, they had to find out who the Pro was before he could go on to his tangent about how this person's Quirk worked, any possible applications to the Quirk beyond what the Pro had already figured out. The list went on and on.

Luckily for the class, they didn't have to wait long during homeroom before Aizawa spoke.

"As you all are aware, we're going to have a special guest today," he said in his normal monotone voice. "She'll talk about her Quirk some, and then you can ask questions. Please give her time to answer these questions...Midoriya." Midoriya shrunk in his seat a little as the class chuckled.

On the other side of the room, a certain pink skinned girl was slightly irritated with how Mr. Aizawa had called Izuku out like that. Mina knew the green haired boy took it in stride, but it still bothered her. If she wasn't currently on Aizawa's short list, she would have said something. Instead, she opted to give Izuku a wide smile when he looked her way.

"She'll totally be impressed by your questions, Midori!" she whisper-yelled, causing others like Kirishima and Uraraka to join in, which helped Izuku relax a little. Aizawa gave Mina the side eye, but left the matter alone...for now.

"Alright, class, I guess without further ado, here she is." He gestured to the door, and a young woman, probably in her mid-20s, stepped in. She took a look around the class before her eyes settled on Izuku, who was simply brimming, barely containing his excitement.

"Do I have a fan?" she asked, smiling. "Let's hear what you got, kid." It was all Izuku needed to start rambling about the Hero's identity.

"You're the Connection Hero, Hitch!" he replied excitedly. "You disorient you foes when you touch them, which activates your Quirk. The only real information out there on it is that it causes people you touch to see images, though there is a lot of speculation, the most common guess is what some one else is viewing..." he stopped himself after that, and the Pro looked rather impressed at his analysis.

"Wow," she replied. "Pretty spot on there. And the most common guess is the correct one. However, my Quirk isn't just a randomized view. The person has to share a special connection with the person whose point of view they see. And this works in one of three ways, depending on which one I wish to implement."

The class was now paying full attention to her as she moved to the center of the room, Aizawa having long since wrapped himself in his sleeping bag.

"Okay," she continued. "First off, my name is Shiaza Hakaburi, but, as this young man pointed out, my Hero name is Hitch. Now, I can explain my Quirk to everyone. When I touch a person, they see through the eyes of someone they are connected with. That connection depends on the color of the glow that emits from my hand, that I choose, when I touch them. The colors are blue, green, and red. Can anyone guess what each of those colors could mean by personal connection?"

The class was silent for a few moments, outside of Izuku mumbling. The Pro gave him the time to piece things together, and the class looked in awe (aside from Bakugo, who couldn't care less what was going on since they weren't battle training) as Izuku seemed to have come to some conclusions. He tentatively raised his hand, causing Hitch to smile.
