It was weird, seeing all those tubes connected to him, his body floating in preservation fluid as his wounds slowly healed. A combination of the clone revival technique and Eri's quirk, which Kacchan still doesn't know I stole. He'd be pissed if he were to find out I took her hairbrush after our first sleepover to research her DNA. Well, it did cure Toya and right now it's doing an amazing job on Hitoshi!

Maybe I should infiltrate it into my own system as well..? Hmm, no, no that wouldn't work. My version of One For All in combination with my quirk wouldn't be compatible. They'd probably sniff each other out. Since I was born quirkless, rewind would probably revert everything I went through to get this power. I don't want that going to waste!

"You were right about combining these methods... It's shocking to see it progress so quickly" Shoto spoke from next to me, also staring at the tank in front of us.
"To think it took over 2 years for us to create a suitable vessel for your mind, which wasn't even a finished body, just nerves and arteries flowing to loose organs"

"You don't have to walk me through my construction process Ace. I'm better off not thinking about it" I sighed. Nobody could tell, but I was still having trouble with the fact I'm a clone. Knowing my body died... Knowing that I died... That I was recreated in some lab afterwards... It's weird to think about, so I avoid the topic as much as possible. I try to live life to the fullest, to enjoy every moment I've got. But even then...

Well, it's not that I'm not used to this body yet. It feels like my own now that I've been using it for so long. But it isn't, is it? I sighed, glancing aside at the monitors and my people checking up on everything to make sure things were running smoothly. I turned around, walking up to the monitor corner to find Kami talking to his old classmates and friends.

It as a surprise for me to find out Kacchan would be here today. I really didn't want to cause any trouble for him... But this facility had all the equipement I needed and enough room for this branch of the D.E.K.U. to hide away in. Hijacking it was a given, really. Shinsou couldn't wait another day until the blonde was gone, his life needed to be saved right now.

And even though he's already technically dead, there is no time to waste. The longer he goes untreated, the more healthy cells die off and the longer it takes for his revival to be completed. It was a good thing I studied my dad's quirks all those years back... They, together with the DNA from Twice, formed the basics of what we're doing here right now, of what was done to me to bring me back... His life prolonging quirks that almost made him immortal sure were something else.

I smiled a little as I watched Kacchan trying to talk sense into Denki, as if the Pikachu would listen to anyone in his current state. It took a lot of work to just make him do this, knowing he was the best person for the job. He could just stun everyone and make sure they weren't able to escape on a non-lethal manner. It's also why I didn't tell him anything about reviving Hitoshi... He would want to be by his side every step of the way and refuse to leave me to do my job. Besides, if this were to fail... I don't think his heart will be able to take such a hit after what happened...

"Uhm, boss..? I think we might have a problem..." Shoto said slowly, making me frown and turn around. He handed me a tablet with the outside camera footage of this place, something we hacked into so we could slip in unannounced. My eyes widened as I saw what he meant and I instantly handed the device back to him.

Fuck

Keeping dunce face entertained was our number one priority right now. That way he'd be too distracted to notice some of the heroes slipping the hero federation members out of here, to a safer location. Normally that wouldn't really be a problem, seeing as he has the attention span of a fly. But right now his usual happy idiocy seemed to abandon him and he became this serious person none of us knew he had in him. Was this really all the effect of Shinsou dying..?

Suddenly the doors opened up, revealing a pissed off Midoriya Izuku, aka the Green Reaper. He flicked his fingers, shooting an insulation blanket at Kaminari before any of us could even react. He wrapped him up and handed him over to Todoroki, who froze it at the spot.
"Hey! Let me out! What the hell is going on?!" Denki yelled, voicing our confused thoughts.

"It's for your own safety! And ours... Can't have the electricity falling out now that we're in the middle of the process" Izuku said, muttering the last part as he looked at us, heroes.
"What's the fucking meaning of this Deku?" I hissed, still ready to fight.
"Oh? Did I forget to mention I was coming here today?" he asked, putting a finger on his cheek while tilting his head, feigning innocence.

"Well, that must be because we're not working with each other anymore! It was fun taking down the hero federation with you Kacchan, I admit. Certainly because we could kill with your goal backing it up! It was perfect~"
My eyes widened and my breath got caught in my throat. It's just an act. Yeah, but what? Was him working with me a part of a bigger scheme all along? Or was he just acting right now so the hero federation wouldn't get suspicious..? I'm really not sure...

"Anyway, you can all leave if you want to. I have no need for hostages at the moment"
This made me frown again. Izuku would never let any hostages leave... Not without using them in a way or killing them. He always had a plan in mind. So why would he et them leave like that..? I noticed a small glint of desperation in his eyes and bit my lip. He really wants us gone huh?

"Why are you letting us go?" Kirishima asked, also not understanding what was going on.
"Yeah! And why did you capture your own teammate? It makes no sense..." Sero said. This made Midoriya sigh, before the building shook for a moment.
"Ace, bring Black-Out to the lab. Make sure he keeps the process going at all cost" the Reaper ordered, making the halfa move instantly.

"Damnit! I thought we would have a little more time..."
"A little more time for what?" I asked when a wall partially collapsed and a strangely familiar maniacal laughter filled the air. Someone shot from the dust cloud that formed by the collapsing bricks and tackled that Monoma guy, placing his hand over his face, disintegrating him in mere seconds. No fucking way... It's him...

No wonder they made sure to seal Kami away and move him somewhere else. The Pikachu would go on a rampage!
"Tenko Shimura" Izuku growled, letting a bright green glow surround his body.
"Izuku Midoriya" he responded with the same kind of hatred.
"You know I go by a different name now... I'm not a Shimura anymore"
That made Izuku huff and frown. Shimura huh? Well, I knew Shigaraki wasn't his original name since it wasn't found in birth registration.

"Get them out of here. I don't need spectators" Midoriya muttered as he stepped up in front of me. I knew what he was doing. He's trying to protect us... I frowned, glancing over my shoulder.
"Oi, headphones, ponytail, evacuate the federation members! Pinky, Shitty Hair and tapedispenser with me!"
"I don't need help" Izuku hissed, glaring at us.

"We're backing you up anyway so deal with it" Kirishima stated, making Izuku huff. It's probably because he's a member that Izu doesn't bother debating anymore. That and the fact Shigaraki is right there in front of us, ready to attack again. The ground around him started showing cracks as he grinned at us, his lips dried out and his red eyes showing off his insanity. My body fell into a battle stance, ready to counter whatever he threw at me and to attack him with all I've got. Izuku stood next to me, sighing before giving me a small smile.

"The Wonder Duo at last, huh Kacchan?"

My eyes widened for a moment, childhood memories flashing before my eyes. I remember it well, the day we decided we wanted to be heroes together. 'If Kacchan really wants me to, I want to be a hero too!'. That's what Deku said. As long as I was at his side, everything would be okay. Even though he was sceptical at first, which nobody understood. He didn't think heroes were awesome and amazing before hanging out with me.

I understand why now. His dad was a villain. Their family was in constant danger because of heroes. But thanks to me he started to adapt a fanboy persona, stating we should be heroes together. I agreed, of course. We decided on the name Wonder Duo if we ever went pro and fought bad guys together. I thought he already forgot about that since he became a villain and everything... I gave Izuku a small smile and nodded.

"And the Wonder Duo never loses"

I was thrown onto the ground, the undulation falling off me.
"What the hell dude?!" I yelled, glaring at Todoroki as I felt sparks race over my skin. He came out of fucking nowhere and for what?! I wasn't even doing anything wrong!
"Calm down" he spoke on a monotone voice, looking at me as the people around us swiftly moved around the room, seemingly monitoring something.

"The building is under attack and we need to make sure we don't run out of power"
I frowned. Like I care about the damn power! Wait...
"It's Shigaraki, isn't it?" I asked, seeing him hesitate to answer. Well, that's all the answer I need, really.
"You're not allowed to fight him, you need to provide power" Shoto said.
"I don't fucking care! Let me at him!" I hissed, ready to attack Todoroki before he quickly turned me around.

The sight almost made me short circuit and electricity stopped flowing over my skin for a second. Hitoshi... His body was floating around in a glass tank, tubes connected to his arms and monitors over his chest. There was a mask over his mouth and nose for air acces as he floated in the transparant liquid. His wounds seemed to have vanished...

"This is why Izuku needed to secure this facility Denki... We're bringing him back" Shoto spoke, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"The process can't be interrupted, otherwise it'll all be for nothing. You need to make sure he has power, no matter what happens to the building. Can you do that?"
"Why didn't anyone tell me about this before! Of course I can watch over him! I'm his fucking fiancé, right?" I hissed.

"Izuku didn't want you to know in case your overprotectiveness interfered with the process" Todoroki shrugged. Hm, makes sense, I guess... It's not like I'm really stable at the moment...
"Well, what are you waiting for Ace? Go kick his ass" I grinned, crossing my arms and sitting down in front of the purple haired boy I loved with all my heart.
"I'll kill you if he escapes, you can tell Midoriya the same"

"Understood" he said with a smile.
"I'm glad you're back to normal, Black-Out"
With that he left, making me roll my eyes. Back to normal... Like I ever was normal to begin with! My eyes trailed back to Shinsou's frame, drifting peacefully as his body recovered. I don't know how they're bringing him back exactly, I was never in on the cloning process of Midoriya either. But I don't think this is a clone, this is the real deal.

Somehow they were able to heal him, stitch up his body and revive him. I'm not questioning it either, seeing as I'm more than thrilled he'll be back with me once he wakes up. I haven't lost him, not yet... A stray tear rolled down my cheek, which I quickly wiped away. Damnit! This isn't the moment to get overemotional! Focus Denki, Hitoshi is counting on you!
