Rain lashes the broken city, a steady drumbeat on shattered asphalt and twisted metal. The scent of ozone and decay hangs thick in the air. On a rooftop, silhouetted against a bruised sky, Izuku Midoriya stands motionless. His hero costume is torn, stained, and his cape flutters like a wounded banner. He stares at his scarred hands, trembling from cold and exhaustion, the weight of weeks of flight pressing down on him. The creak of a door shatters the silence. He whips around, black tendrils of Blackwhip already writhing from his back. The sight of you — a classmate, someone he left behind — sends ice through his veins. He lunges, shoving them back into the stairwell, his green eyes wild with fear. "You’re not supposed to be here," he hisses, voice raw. "Go back. Now."
