Life After Death

Chapter 2

Izuku was in awe at what the doctor said. “What do you mean by double S rank. Also, just how different is it than what the normal is for you? Come to think of it, if what happened to me was real then how am I still alive and functioning after hearing what I broke? I should feel more pain also. Is this part of my quirk?” Izuku kept muttering until the doctor stopped him to explain.

“Let me put it in ways you can understand.” The doctor put pictures of bones on a board to show Izuku. One side had several shattered bones, the other had bones that were perfectly fine. “These are X rays of your bones before and after you were pulled into the hospital. To be honest, you should be dead. However, the one on the left is after a little stunt you made with your quirk. What happened was you took something out of the bed and floor that was touching you and repaired yourself. We’ve come to the conclusion that your quirk works by absorbing life energy from things since the touched objects turned to dust after. Once you were free of harm, your body also naturally put the energy back into whatever you were touching to place you on a rigid bed. Were not full on details yet, but we assume it’s a very powerful quirk that can alter the natural order of the world.”

Izuku looked at his hands to take note of what the doctor said. “How does it work?”

“That’s another thing we do not know. From what we gather, your body subconsciously did this. We checked blood samples to see that it works by just simple contact and that is all. But we’ll leave discovering how it works for later. Right now, you have three other visitors outside.”

Izuku was confused as not one, but three more people came to visit him. The door opened to show a girl with long blue hair, a girl with short brown hair and a permanent blush, and a woman with blond hair that was more commonly known as the dragonic hero Ryukyu. The two girls came up and looked at Izuku with great fear for him.

“ARE YOU OK!?” Izuku didn’t know how to respond to this as two girls came rushing to make sure he was alright.

“We saw you fall and freaked when you fell on the ground!” The brown haired girl started crying with the blue haired one going pale.

“Why did you want to jump? There’s always a better way.” The blue haired one was saying in a near panic mode as she was on the verge of tears as well.

“Alright you two.” Ryukyu stepped in to calm the two girls. “I think we should discuss this a little calmer after some introduction. My name is the dragon hero, Ryukyu. The blue haired girl is Nejire Hado, a UA student that is interning with me. While the brown haired is her friend Ochako Uraraka.”

Both girls greeted Izuku with him going next for introductions. “M-my name is Izuku Midoriya. My mother is over there.” Inko smiled at the three as Ryukyu spoke up.

“Would you care to tell me what made you decide to jump off a building? I may understand that life is hard sometimes, but I’d rather avoid you attempting suicide again if I can stop you.”

Izuku glanced at his mother before speaking. “Mom, can you let me talk to them alone please?” Inko wanted to know what made the little boy she raised decide to do such a thing, but understood that this wasn’t the time or the place for this. She respected Izuku’s decision and left.

When she was gone, Izuku looked at his hands before speaking. “To start off with, I didn’t know I had a quirk until the doctor told me a minute ago. Until now, I’ve been quirkless and bullied for it.” This hurt hearing for the three as someone was willing to do something so mean to another person. “Things got worse the night before I jumped when my ‘girlfriend’ sent me a video of her sleeping with a person that made it a personal goal to bully me.”
