Chapter 12

The room fell silent from the information they had all be given. Izuku's mind was running a marathon, trying to think and process the information from the older women. He could possibly become pregnant, him an Alpha was told he could, maybe have a child, so does that mean that he would experience a heat and force himself into a rut at the same time? There were so many questions in his head that he paled and looked at the floor, he swayed and had to steady himself on the railing of Athena's bed. Katsuki watched the greenette and saw him sway, his hand reached out and grabbed his arm to support the troubled and puzzled teen.

"Kacchan, what...…what did you mean when you said you knew?"

"Well, I have been looking into it since a while ago and found out some information about an old myth that sounded just like you, but I never knew if it was true. Fuck, who knew it could happen and to a fucking nerd like you"

"Does this mean that I'm not a true Alpha? Can I still have a mate and mark them? Will my rut force me into a heat or the other way around?"

"Midoriya, I know that this is a lot to process, and I am sorry that we have no more information to give you, unfortunately it has been so long since this was recorded that we have no idea how this will affect you both. The second Gender council may have the information you seek, but they may also stop you from being a Hero and from living a normal life. This was another thing I wanted to talk to you about".

"The fuck! how can they do that to someone?"

"Baukugo, they have to power over everything about second genders. They were made to protect and collect information about it. This would be something they would be extremely interested in".

Athena watched the group in the room; she could see the distress from Izuku about not being a Hero like he had shown her.

She knew all about him wanting to be like the number one and how he had started to achieve his dreams by coming to this school. She also knew that the number one was All might, the man who in her world had caused her eminence suffering before finding a small piece of happiness. The first time Izuku showed him to her in her quirk she flinched, cried and the memory she was seeing became tainted, a black mist and background flowed over his, and soon she had to explain the situation. She had forgotten about the other club owner after the incident with Enji, but seeing him again in her mind, as a different person brought the memories flooding back. Izuku was apologising and crying after she showed him the memory that had come forth. There was nothing that could console them both at the time and the room was full of distressed pheromones, so much that even the nursing staff become worried and scared for their well-being. It was a few days after that Athena managed to talk to Izuku about All Might, and he was unsure if he could continue with his fan-boying, but she insisted, saying it would help her in this world.

She was watching the way he was currently crumbling from the information, she fully understood how he felt, being told that she was an Omega with Alpha DNA was a bit hard to digest. She was still unsure of the second gender in the beginning, so adding this information on top was just the cherry on top of her life.

She moved her hand and placed it on top of Kat, who just looked down at her when he felt the warmth in his hand, he blushed at her touched but knew to be careful. From the reaction Izuku gave to Todoroki being near her he was being careful not to waken to beast once more, it was currently in hiding and a confused, upset, and angry Alpha Izuku was not something that should be awoken, he knew this from experience and had spent an extremely uncomfortable few nights in the hospital.

"I need to ask about you as well Athena. There are things that we need to discuss, and they are not pleasant. Do you want to talk to me in private about them or would you like it with everyone in the room?"

Athena looked at the faces in the room, she knew that this was going to come up sooner or later but was she ready to hear it all? was she truly OK with it all? she had no idea about it and just nodded, gripping Katsuki's hand harder. He could tell this was going to be a terrible experience, and he wasn't sure that Todoroki and Izuku would be alright after hearing it. Izuku just looked at Athena's hand on Katsuki and noticed how she squeezed it tighter as her expression changed from one of confusion to one of sorrow and hurt. He had seen her past, but had she shown Kacchan something else, something he didn't know, but at the time his mind was overflowing with the fact he was not a full Alpha, a defective Alpha, one that might potentially go into heat when out in the field and be corned by a villain and raped. He looked into her violet eyes as she nodded, and he moved to sit on the end of her bed and took her other hand in his, this was about her right now and from her reaction she knew what it was.

"Are you sure you want me here with you Athena?"

"I'm sure Izuku. From the way you are acting you are worried but please, when the time is right, I will tell you more but right now we need to worry about your future".

The room fell silent once again as the group looked to the older women, who grabbed a chair to sit down. Todoroki had also moved and grabbed a chair from another room and sat himself down to face the three of them on the bed. He was intrigued and more interested after hearing about them being Rouges, this information was bringing him closer to them all and this was something he wanted, he wanted to be around Athena, there was something pulling him, and he wanted to know more.

"What about that fuck?" as Katsuki pointed toward Todoroki, who just shrugged his shoulders.

"It's OK Kat. He can stay too. I have a feeling that this is going to be about all of us at some point".

"Well before that I would like to try something first if you don't mind?"

She called in two nurses to the room and waited for a reply. They shifted into the room, wondering what Recovery Girl now wanted to do with them.

"Midoriya, could you please walk out of this room and down towards the main entrance, a nurse will be with you as you may have some muscle fatigue from not moving for over a month"

"Sure, I can do that." With that he let go of Athena's hand and slid off the bed before he started walking to the door with a nurse in tow, he turned around and looked back to Athena before passing through. He got no more than a few steps, he could still see into the room before he felt his chest constrict, his lungs were on fire, his heart fighting to stay in rhythm. He took one more step as the sweet started to pour down his temple and his hand shot to his chest as the pain ripped through, his legs buckle as a blacking dizziness came over him, he grabbed onto the ledge by the window but missed and fell to the floor in a panting and pained mess. Katsuki was watching as his friend walked away, his scent picked up in distress as he watched the greenette grab before falling out of sight due to collapsing on the floor, he was about to run out to help but the clamminess on his hand caused him to look at Athena, she was suffering like Izuku was, her other hand on her chest, sweat running down her face and her breath ragged and pained. He was conflicted, does he stay and help Athena or go to his friend and help him back onto his bed. The decision was made for him when Todoroki rushed through the door and picked up the teen with ease, carrying him back into the room and placing him on his bed. Both of their pain started to subside, and they could breathe with ease once again.

"I thought that would happen, but we needed to make sure. Izuku, Athena, it appears that you cannot be away from each other without some serious problems. We hope that we can fix this but until then you both need to be near each other. I will talk with the principle and ask if you can be housed together or if you could take a leave of absence until this is sorted"

"How the fuck is this possible?"

"As I said Baukugo, I do not know and need to investigate this further. Apart from all that I have said, you are both healthy and do not need to be in her for much longer. Now Athena, what I'm about to tell you will be upsetting and please know that I am here if you need to talk"

"I understand, it's about my children. I lost them, didn't I?" her voice became more pained and hurt as she uttered those words.

"When you arrived, you were in a horrendous shape and when we were able to run a scan, we found no baby in your womb, it was empty like the child had vanished into thin air. Your womb was damaged, but we have managed to repair some of it, we hope that in time you maybe able to have children again but for now we cannot say. The damage was severe, and you had lost a lot of blood. Could you please tell me what had happened for you to get that way?"

"It may sound like a work of fiction to any who hear it, and to be honest I am not sure if it isn't, but I was in a world much like this, but it was a world that was cruel and painful to be in, I was treated as a slave, someone without a shred of humanity shown to them, that was until I meet someone and fell in love with them. We made love before I had my virginity stolen from me by auction. It resulted in me becoming pregnant with twins. We hadn't known that every day for years we had been drinking a solution to make us 100% fertile. Soon after a man used his quirk on me to speed up my pregnancy, and he was the one who told me it was twins. They originally had planned to auction off our children and not my virginity, but they had told the person I loved wrong, so that we would make love and have the children they wanted, ones with quirks, selling them to the highest bidder, and he wanted his money. The process used up everything my body could give, and I was dying, my children inside me were dying, slowly and painfully. Everything became a painful blur with the man threating the lives of the people I loved. Just before I died, I saw Izuku in what can only be described as a dream and woke to where I am now".

Recovery Girl seemed stunned, her face showing not only anger, but sympathy, and she was silent whilst she looked to the teen in front of her. How could so much happen to one small girl. She looked worse than death when she arrived and now, she had stated to explaining some of the reason why.

"Do you remember or know how you came to be here with us?"

"I am afraid that I do not remember how I came to be here. I just remember seeing Izuku in my dreams before me and then again when we spoke inside of my quirk".

"Do you know the person that brought you here or do you know the name of the League?"

" I'm sorry but I do not know of either. I couldn't hear, see or feel anything towards the end and believed that I had died when I first spoke with Izuku, but as it happens to be far from the truth than I am happy. I..." small tears were now falling down her face, she hadn't thought about her children of her Katsuki, she missed him so much and the man sitting next to her now looked just like him, but he was far from the person she loved, his personality was different, but she couldn't help but see her Katsuki in him. She thought about what their children would look like and be like and this made her heart hurt, break in pieces and the tears running down her face only grew. She grabbed onto Katsuki's shirt and cried into his chest, sobbing silently from the loss, the blonde could feel her body shaking. He could see the pain she was in and placed her arms around her small frame to try and comfort the distressed teen. Izuku could smell her distress and tried to move to go and comfort her too, but his limbs were still too weak from what he had tried to do, and his body refused to move to move.

"Kacchan, please, she is suffering a loss that no one should. Please"

With this Katsuki started to release as many calming pheromones as he could and Izuku was doing the same, she soon stopped her crying before falling asleep in his embrace. He moved her so she was lying fully in the bed and tried to step out, but she was holding his shirt tightly in her hands, he covered her body as he gentle as he could without waking her. He looked at his friend on the other bed and saw a face he wished he never saw, full of sorrow, anger, and pain.

"What do we do now Kacchan?"

"How the fuck should I know. Wait and see. Just get some sleep nerd"

"Thanks, Kacchan."

Once both Izuku and Athena were fast asleep the two teens left all the commotion they had witness behind them as they headed for the dorms, both silent and keeping their distance from one another. They both had questions, they both were curious, but both were also tired and hungry. The sooner they eat the sooner they could sleep and that is what they did when they got back. Both teens that night dreamed of Athena, her freckled face, her purple hair, and her violet eyes, but one teen dreamed of a greenette who he shared a future with, who was somehow under his skin and who held in his arms not only a child with violet hair but another with green eyes.
