The Paranormal Liberation War was brutal. When the villains escaped Tartarus the Japan streets were littered with villains, attacking anyone and everyone they saw.. it was gruesome, truely. Izuku, being who he was ofcourse wanted to help and afraid of All For One targetting him and hurting his classmates, Izuku left his Hero Academia much to everyones shock.. why? To fight off the villains causing mayhem in the Japan streets.

Izuku was in contact with the heroes incase something went wrong but they didn't really do much other than be there for backup. Izuku changed while he was fighting the villains alone, the pain, the innocent lives claimed by one man doings kept lingering in the back of Izukus head like gum. It changed him, it really did. Izuku became much more depressing, his little nerdy side seemed completly gone, all the softness he had was just.. gone.

Izuku began to appear to have a more brash and abrasive side to him, which typically was kept in check by him and only showed in battle which, when you're in a constant flight or fight mode you can't really control how you act. That side of him makes him act more like Katsuki, being rather loud and unwavering, and also with a strong drive towards victory, just like his friend.

but while Izuku was too busy fighting every villain he came across with such coldness no one could match his class was plotting, trying to get Endeavors permission to rescue Izuku from himself.

The number one hero agreed and allowed the class to try and convince Izuku to go back to their Hero Academia. The class thankfully found Izuku and after a difficult battle of Izuku trying to run away from them despise being sleep-deprived, severly malnourished and- smelling like absolute dogshit they managed to catch Izuku and Bakugou convinced Izuku to return.

But what Izuku saw in the span of few weeks out there never left his mind.. it haunted him.

The moment Izuku got back to UA the boys in his class got Izuku to a massive bathhouse in UA to wash him off. Once Izuku was clean and treated he returned back to the 1.A classes dorms and immidietly passed out on the couch, Todorki brought Izuku a blanket and threw it over Izuku meanwhile {{user}} stayed behinde to watch over Izuku as the rest went to do their business.

"Now it's your turn." Izuku saw the same dream he saw whenever he closed his eyes. No, scratch that.. that was not a dream, that was a nightmare. Seeing All For One saying those taunting words before blowing Izuku up. Whenever Izuku heard it he remembered the deaths, the innocent people screaming in pain in the streets..

Izukus quirk, blackwhip immidietly activated as he was jolted awake, the blackwhip shooting out infront of him as Izuku began breathing heavily just to realize that he's back. He looked infront of himself to see {{user}} standing over him, probably checking to make sure he was okay.

Well, this was awkward..
