"What....was that?!" I ask, half terrified and half surprised. My hand was bleeding, my head hurt, and my friends and family were staring at me.

"I have no idea," Shoto says. "He would have killed me."

I stare at the place Shigaraki was just a few minutes before.

"I know. That's why I had to do something."

"But what did you do?" Kaminari asked. "One second you were over here, the next you were behind Todoroki. What's up with that?"

I shrug.

"No idea. What did it look like?" I ask.

Kirishima comes over.

"You looked like Penelope from that one american movie," he says. "The one with that guy Ralph who wrecks stuff? Can't remember the name."

My eyes widen.

"The glitchy girl?!"

"Yeah," he says. "The air around you sort of....well, yeah, glitched. Then you were behind Todoroki."

I stare at him, then turn to my parents.

"Do you think that's what my second quirk is?" I ask.

"It's possible," Aizawa says. "It never did quite fit the Siren label."

"Try doing something a Siren could do," Hizashi suggests.

I shrug and close my eyes. Then I start singing.

When I open my eyes, I'm on the other end of the arena.

"WHAT THE HECK?!" I shout. I start singing again, trying to focus on the space between Jiro and Shoto, and direct my glitch. Something flickers, and I'm standing next to them.

"Woah."

My friends grin.

"This is awesome!" Kaminari says. "You can basically teleport!"

"But it doesn't make sense," Shoto says. "One the first day of school, you broke my ice using that quirk."

I think.

"Well....I glitch things, right?" I ask. They nod.

"Okay, then maybe my quirk is like a mix of Hizashi's quirk and a teleportation quirk. I could....glitch the space around me with my voice."

I walk over to my dads, who were both looking way to pale for my liking. Before I got there, a warp gate opened up and a hand grabbed the back of Hizashi's neck.

Aizawa and I both acted on instinct. I glitched without thinking and he erased Shigaraki's quirk. I grab the guy's wrist and pull him through, then twist his arm until it snaps and kick him back through the portal.

"Close it Kurogiri! You lost!" I shout. Surprisingly, the gate closes. I turn to Hizashi, who was bleeding like crazy.

"Crap..." Aizawa mumbles.

"We need to get a doctor!" Kaminari says in a panicked voice. "Someone call an ambulance!"

"No time!" I shout. "Out of my way!"

I grab Hizashi's wrist and focus on the image of the hospital I was in before. The world glitches, and we're inside the lobby.

I shout for a nurse, not even realizing what I did. Soon I'm waiting for my friends and Aizawa, thinking about my dad and my new quirk.

It's so easy to control. My Frost quirk took years to master. Why is this one different?

"Komori!" A voice shouts. I look up and see my group running over, Aizawa walking calmly since we were in public.

"How is he?" Aizawa asks.

"The doctors got him stable. He's in surgery right now."

Kirishima stared at me.

"You're incredible," he said. "You glitched yourself and someone else miles away from where you were."

The weight of his words sink in.

"I did."

Just then a nurse walks over.

"Are you waiting on Present Mic?" she asks. When she sees Aizawa, her eyes widen.

I stand up and take command, the way my dads have taught me.

"Yes. We were attacked at school and he needed help. Mr. Aizawa insisted on coming. He wanted to make sure we didn't get ambushed," I say.

She nods.

"He's unconscious but stable. You can go see him if you like."

my team and I walk towards the door. Before I go in, I hear Aizawa ask the nurse not to let anyone in unless called.


Hizashi didn't look as bad as I thought. He had a bandage on his neck and his arms, but other then that he seemed fine.

"Wake up dad," I say quietly. My friends may know, but it still feels weird to call him dad in front of others.

"C'mon Hizashi," Aizawa whispered. "You've got this."

We sit there for a few minutes in silence. Then a long beep echoed through the room.

"He's flatlining!" Shoto shouted. Jiro went to get a nurse while Kaminari got ready for shock treatment. (He's a walking defibrillator XD)

"Don't shock him yet," I say. "I want to try something. I have no idea if it'll work, but I have to try."

I place one hand on Hizashi's chest. Then I try and...i don't know really...glitch him back to life? I feel something happen so I just keep going. After a few minutes the nurse comes in and I back up. She gets to work and I secretly grab Aizawa's hand.

"He'll be okay, right?" I whisper.

"I don't know Komori," he whispers back. "But I hope so."

We stand like that for a few more minutes, then the heart monitor picks up again. Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"It's the strangest thing," the nurse said. "It's like his entire body was stuck. Like when you try and ex out of something online and it glitches for a minute. It was like he was in a safety net until he could be fixed."

She turned to me.

"Is that what you were doing young lady?" she asks. "You could be a big help here at the hospital with a quirk like that."

I smile.

"I guess, yeah."

We all wait in the room until it's time to leave, then we all go to my house for a sleepover.


"What was that Komori?" Jiro asked. "Was that part of your glitchy thing?"

I shrug.

"I guess so. I don't know how I did it," I say.

"Well," Kaminari said. "It was super helpful."
