Why Would It Be Different

Quirks

I put on my gym clothes and picked Eri up. "We're going to train okay?" She nods and I carry her down to the training area. Once we get down there Aizawa gives us our assignment for today. "Today you will be doing personal training."

We split up and I go to my corner. This is where Denki confronted me and helped me. I blush at the thought and start doing push ups. Eri stands next to me and tries to do push ups next to me. I smile at her attempts and eventually she just sits and watches me.

"Hey Eri wanna try something?" She nods and I lay down and gesture to my back. She gets it and sits on my back. "Ready?" She taps me as a way to say yes and I continue doing push ups. I grit my teeth and push through. I hear her giggling and I smile and then I feel extra weight that catches me by surprise so I collapse on the ground.

I turn my head and see Denki with his bright smile. He takes his foot off my back and Eri stands up. I stand up and brush the dirt off. "Hey Shinsou aren't you going to use your quirk?" I freeze. I forgot they knew about that... "Hey it's okay nobody judges you for it but we want to see it in action." I see that everyone has stopped and is looking at me excitedly."

"I-" I feel a tug and look down to see Eri pulling on my sleeve "Please Shinsy." They all looked at me pleading with their eyes and I absentmindedly touched the holes where my mouth was stitched. Denki notices and puts his hand on my shoulder "If you don't want to we understand." I hesitate before nervously saying "You guys are okay with me using it?" They all nod and I sigh. "Fine."

Everyone gets excited "Okay do I have everyone's consent to use my quirk on them." Everyone nods, even Bakugou with encouragement from Kirishima. "Hey Bakugou why are you so mean to everyone?" He gives me a glare "WHA-" He stops and goes completely still. Everyone looks from me to him in awe.

"Give Deku a compliment." Deku blushes and Bakugou looks at him with glassy eyes "Hey Deku I think you have a cool quirk." Everyone starts laughing and Deku looks at the ground. I feel the tendrils of my quirk wrapped tight around Bakugou but I also see faint ones around other people. Huh I've never been able to use my quirk so I've always kept it hidden but I might as well test my limits.

I pull the tether around Mina and she stops laughing and goes still. Everyone stops and stares at me "But you didn't..." I just shrug and pull another. This time it's Kirishima. Hey you two do the chicken dance. They immediately stop and start doing the chicken dance. Sero falls over laughing and I pull his tether. "You too." He stops and joins in with them. Bakugou joins in and everyone starts running to try and get away from me.

I laugh as I start rounding them up. I manage to get Aoyama, Koda, Sato, Hagakure, Shouji and Mineta to sit on the ground and then I feel a headache start to form. I stop laughing and massage my temples. I feel something fluffy touch my back and turn to see Ojiro about to tackle me. "Stop and sit down." He obeys and I look at my growing group of people sitting.

That just leaves Tsu, Iida, Uraraka, Jirou, Tokoyami, Todoroki, Deku, Momo and Denki. I sgh at how many people I have to do and debate stopping when I feel something wrap around me and throw me in the air. I see Tsu on the ground and see Iida, Jirou and Momo ready with a net to capture me in. This is gonna hurt. I pull all of theirs at the same time. "Ah!" My headache flares and I fight it. "Iida catch me!" He runs and catches me before I hit the ground and then he puts me down. I sway a little but catch myself. "All of you sit down." They go.

Okay 4 down 5 to go. I massage my temples and look around for oncoming attacks. I close my eyes and look for the tethers of people in range. I find one and pull it. "Come here." I see Tokoyami come out of the shadows and tell him to sit.

At this point I feel like my head is splitting open. Maybe I should just stop...no, how will I be a hero if I don't push myself. "Jirou use your quirk to look for people." She lowers her ear jacks and listens. "They're above you." What the hell? I look up to see Todoroki, Deku and Uraraka sitting on an ice platform. They all jump down and use Uraraka's quirk so they don't get hurt. "Shit." I run because I need a sec to recover before taking on more.

They chase me and I see green lightning before Deku is in front of me. Well I don't have a choice. "This is going to hurt." He looks at me confused before I catch the three of them. I fall to my knees and hold my head in my hands. "Go sit." I say through gritted teeth. I look up and see all of them sitting. Ha I got them all. I feel a tap on my shoulder and see Denki grinning over me. I see his fingertips spark but I catch him first.

I scream and my vision goes blurry. I look up and see all of them sitting and smile through the pain I did it. Eri comes up and gives me a hug "Shinsy are you okay." I look up and see Aizawa standing over me. He gives me a hand and I tiredly take it. I stand and the world sways so I lean against Aizawa. "Hey kid that is amazing and I'm so proud of you." I smile, Nobodies ever told me that before. I release all of them and it's like a weight has been lifted but my headache remains as bad as ever. I fall back to my knees and sigh.

Denki tackles me and I fall to the ground with a grunt of pain "Not right now." I growl. He gets off me and looks at me with a concerned look "Are you okay Shinsou?" I see everyone crowded around me "Yeah I'm fine but I've never done that many people before." I rub my temples but it does nothing to help. I hear people telling me how amazing it was but it sounds muffled.

I try to stand but fall over "I think I'm just going to lay down." I feel arms lift me and the rush of air like someone running. That wind feels nice. I drift off and fall asleep.
