Bonds of Solace

Izuku crashed to the ground amidst the debris, struggling to his feet as dust and wreckage surrounded him. His heart pounded in his chest as he looked around in desperation. He needed to find his mother, to ensure her safety. His eyes darted in every direction, scanning the chaos that had enveloped the city.Then, he heard a familiar voice calling his name. "Izuku!" It was Momo's voice, filled with concern and urgency. He turned to see Momo rushing toward him through the rubble, her eyes wide with worry.Momo reached him, breathless but determined. She placed a hand on his shoulder, her voice gentle yet resolute. "Izuku, are you okay? What happened?"Tears welled up in Izuku's eyes as he tried to speak, his voice trembling. "I need to find my mom, Momo. She's out here somewhere, and I don't know if she's..." His words caught in his throat as he couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence.Momo understood the gravity of the situation. She nodded, her expression filled with empathy. "I'll help you, Izuku. We'll find her together." The two of them began searching through the rubble, calling out Inko's name as they moved debris aside. Their hands were covered in dust and dirt, but they didn't stop. The minutes felt like hours as they scoured the area, hope dwindling with each passing moment.Then, amidst the twisted metal and concrete, they found her. Inko lay lifeless, her body battered by the devastation that had engulfed the city. Izuku's heart shattered as he fell to his knees beside her, tears streaming down his face.Momo knelt beside him, offering comfort and support. She placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, her voice soft and soothing. "Izuku, I'm so sorry." Her eyes glistened with tears, mirroring his grief. Izuku could hardly speak through his sobs, but Momo understood. Together, they sat there, mourning the loss of someone dear to them both. Momo's presence was a source of solace for Izuku in that dark moment. She helped him settle amidst his cries, a silent understanding passing between them.______________________________________The gray sky hung low over the cemetery, mirroring the heavy hearts of those who had gathered to bid their final farewell to Inko Midoriya. A gentle drizzle fell, casting a melancholic atmosphere on the scene. Among the mourners stood Izuku Midoriya, his white hair dampened by the rain, and his face etched with a mixture of sadness and pride.Momo Yaoyorozu stood beside him, holding an elegant black umbrella, its canopy providing a small shelter from the rain. She gazed at Izuku, her eyes full of understanding and support.Nearby, the Bakugo family was also present. Katsuki Bakugo, his usual fiery demeanor subdued, stood next to his parents, Mitsuki and Masaru Bakugo. Mitsuki clung to her husband's arm, tears hidden behind dark sunglasses, while Masaru solemnly watched the proceedings.As the priest concluded his eulogy, Izuku stepped forward, his shoes squelching in the mud. He cleared his throat, his voice unwavering but filled with emotion."I... I can't express how grateful I am to all of you for being here today," Izuku began, his gaze sweeping over the assembled mourners. "My mom, Inko Midoriya, was a remarkable woman. She taught me strength, not just in the face of adversity, but also the strength to hold onto one's principles."Momo discreetly handed him a handkerchief as his eyes glistened with tears. Izuku continued, his voice carrying the weight of his words. "She always told me that power should be used responsibly, with pride, but never arrogance. And that's the kind of hero I strive to be."Katsuki, who had been silent until now, spoke up, his voice gruff but sincere. "Inko Midoriya was a great mother, but she cared about izuku more than anyone else." He glanced at Izuku, his gaze softening. "I'll make sure he lives up to her ideals, whether he likes it or not."Mitsuki Bakugo wiped her tears away and nodded, her voice trembling. "She was like a second mother to Katsuki. We'll be there for him, too."The rain continued to fall as the mourners paid their respects. Inko Midoriya's legacy lived on in the hearts of those who knew her, and her son, Izuku, carried her teachings forward, determined to be the hero she had always believed he could be.Weeks passed since the devastating events that had unfolded in Hosu City. Izuku Midoriya's world had been shattered, and the weight of grief pressed upon his shoulders like a relentless burden. He couldn't escape the memory of that fateful night when he lost his mother, Inko Midoriya, amidst the chaos wrought by the League of Villains. His heart ached with each passing day.In UA High School, life continued for the young heroes-in-training, but for Izuku, it felt like he was living in a different reality. He attended classes and went through the motions, but his heart wasn't in it. His friends and classmates noticed the change in him, the heaviness in his eyes, and the absence of his usual determination.One afternoon, as the students gathered in the common area after classes, Momo Yaoyorozu approached Izuku. Her heart ached for him, and she wanted to help him through this difficult time. She knew that grief was a complex journey, and she was determined to be there for him. "Izuku," Momo began gently, "can we talk for a moment?" Izuku looked up, his expression distant but acknowledging her presence. He nodded, and they found a quiet corner where they could speak privately.Momo took a deep breath. "Izuku, I know you're going through an incredibly tough time. Losing your mom was... it's unimaginable. I want you to know that I'm here for you, and I want to help in any way I can." Izuku's eyes welled up with tears, and he struggled to find his voice. "Momo, I appreciate your support. But I don't know how to deal with this... with losing her." Momo huged Izuku's and said. "It's okay not to know, Izuku. Grief is a journey, and it's different for everyone. There are stages you might go through, and it's important to allow yourself to feel whatever you're feeling." As days turned into weeks, Momo continued to be a steadfast presence in Izuku's life. She noticed the stages of grief playing out in him, sometimes in subtle ways, and sometimes in more overt expressions of emotion.In the beginning, Izuku often found himself in moments of denial. He'd catch himself expecting to see his mother in the kitchen or hear her voice calling him from the other room. He'd reach for his phone to call her, only to remember that she was gone. One evening, Momo found him sitting in his room, surrounded by photographs of his mother and the two of them together. He was wearing one of her old sweaters, clutching it as if it could bring her back. "It's okay, Izuku," Momo whispered as she sat down beside him. "We all have moments when we can't accept the reality of loss." Izuku nodded, tears streaming down his face as he clung to the sweater. "I just miss her so much, Momo."As the days passed, anger began to surface in Izuku. He was angry at the villains who had taken his mother away, angry at himself for not being able to save her, and angry at the world for being so unjust. One afternoon, during a training session, Izuku's anger erupted. He unleashed his Quirk with a ferocity that startled his classmates. They watched in awe and concern as he pummeled a training dummy with all his might, subsonic waves emanating from his punches. Momo approached him afterward, her voice gentle but firm. "Izuku, it's okay to be angry. But don't let it consume you. Use that anger to become stronger, to protect those you care about." Izuku met her gaze, his anger subsiding as he nodded in understanding. These moments of grief and anger were a part of his journey, and Momo's support helped him navigate them while still holding onto his pride and determination.As Izuku's grief evolved, he found himself making silent bargains with fate. He'd think about what he could have done differently that night, replaying the events in his mind, searching for a way to change the outcome. One evening, Momo found izuku talking to himself. "if I had just been faster, or stronger, or smarter, maybe I could have saved her."Momo listened attentively, her heart aching for him. she hugs izuku as she says "Izuku, it's natural to have these thoughts, but you can't change the past. What you can do is honor your mother's memory by becoming the best hero you can be." Izuku nodded, the weight of his guilt still heavy, but Momo's words providing a glimmer of hope.The depression hit Izuku hard. He spending more time alone, and often struggling to find the motivation to attend classes or engage in hero training. Momo never left his side, offering a comforting presence without pushing him. She'd sit with him in silence, hold his hand, or simply listen when he needed to talk. One rainy night, they sat together by the window, watching the raindrops trace intricate patterns on the glass. Izuku finally broke the silence. with Tears welled in Izuku's eyes as he looked up at the starry sky, his resolve giving way to the overwhelming pain within him. "Momo, do you know why my mother was taken from me? It's my fault. If only I hadn't unleashed my quirk, if I had just kept control, she would still be here, alive." The tears streamed down his face, mingling with the shadows cast by the moonlight, as he laid bare the crushing guilt that burdened his soul.Momo's eyes widened as she listened to his confession. She could see the pain etched into his face, and her heart ached for him. "Izuku, what do you mean?"He continued, his voice breaking as he poured out his guilt and sorrow. "You remember when the Nomu first appeared in the USJ, right? When it first punched me, my first thought was, 'I can finally fully use my quirk. I finally don't need to hold back.' Not just to save others, but for myself. But where did that lead me? With my mom dead."Momo's concern deepened as she absorbed his words. She wanted to understand, to offer him some solace. "Izuku, you couldn't have known..."But he interrupted, his voice filled with self-blame. "You know, when I was little, I was using my quirk, and I punched a tree. But when I suddenly decided to increase my mass and hit the tree, the tree broke. And the kid who was further back, a few meters away, ended up having his leg broken. At that time, the look he gave me... at that moment, I realized that my power is dangerous. Since then, I started to hold back, not using much of my quirk at all, just the bare minimum. And I should have done the same in the USJ incident, waited for All Might instead of trying to unleash my quirk."Momo's heart went out to him, and she could see the weight of past events bearing down on him. She gently probed, "Izuku, is there more to this? Why did you start using your power so cautiously?"Izuku hesitated, his eyes clouded with memories. "It's not just that tree incident. There was another time, when I was in elementary school. A kid with a strength quirk came to challenged me to a fight. I didn't want to, but he kept taunting me, saying that I was scared. So, I agreed, thinking I could control my quirk. But I lost control again, and I ended up injuring him badly." Momo listened with a mix of sympathy and understanding. "Izuku, these were accidents. You can't blame yourself for not fully understanding your quirk as a child."Izuku still looked up, tears falling down his cheeks, as he continued, "When my mom was kidnapped, I didn't tell anyone. I thought since I have this incredible power, I alone am enough." He let out a broken laugh, his voice trembling with regret. "Oh, how foolish I was. And to make matters even worse, when I found out that the League of Villains were the kidnappers, I was excited to fight the Nomu. I guess in my head, I thought I would defeat the Nomu and save my mom."Momo spoke with incredible sincerity as she approached Izuku, her voice filled with compassion. "None of that was your fault, Izuku. It's just that after years of suppressing your quirk, you were finally happy to use it fully, even just once. It's not your fault."She gently placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, trying to offer him some solace in the midst of his overwhelming guilt and grief.But instead of listening to Momo, Izuku laughed bitterly as the tears streaming down his cheeks seemed to thicken. He began to speak in a broken, desperate tone, as if he were worn down and fed up with the world and himself. "When you first saw All Might, I'm sure you thought of how amazing a hero he is. But not me. When I saw All Might for the first time... my first thought was, 'How did he not end up killing the villains he takes down?'" After Izuku said that, all he did was look up and seem to crumble within himself, whether it was due to his regrets about not suppressing his desire to fight or his failure to save his mom.Momo listened in stunned silence, her heart aching for her friend. She couldn't begin to fathom the guilt and self-blame he carried. The weight of his words hung heavily in the room. She gently placed her arms around Izuku, embracing him with warmth and understanding. "Izuku, we all have moments we regret," she whispered softly, "but those moments don't define who you are now. You've grown so much, and your power can be a force for good. Please, let us help you carry this burden."She continued, her voice filled with compassion, "We all have doubts and fears about our quirks, but it's how we use them that truly matters. You've shown incredible restraint and responsibility with your power. You can't blame yourself for things you couldn't control. We're here for you, and together, we'll face whatever challenges come our way."Momo's embrace was warm and comforting, a symbol of the support and solidarity she offered to her broken-hearted friend.Tears streamed down Izuku's face as he finally let out the emotions he had been holding in for so long. Momo remained by his side, offering comfort and understanding, determined to help her friend through this difficult moment.Izuku's emotional breakdown had transformed their conversation into a heart-wrenching exchange, where the weight of his past regrets and the pain of his recent loss were laid bare for Momo to witness. It was a moment of vulnerability that bound them closer together, a testament to the strength of their friendship in the face of adversity.." Momo squeezed his hand gently. "Izuku, it's okay to feel this way. But remember, there are people who care about you, who want to see you find happiness again.Over time, as Izuku continued to grieve with Momo's unwavering support, he began to find moments of acceptance. He accepted that his mother was gone, and he couldn't change that. He accepted that he needed to continue living and striving toward his goals. But in this process of healing, something deeper was taking root within him.One sunny day, they were sitting on the school rooftop, a place they had found solace in together. Izuku looked out at the city below and took a deep breath. "Momo, I think I'm starting to accept what happened. I'll never stop missing her, but I know I have to keep moving forward." He turned to Momo, his eyes searching hers for reassurance.Momo smiled warmly at him, but she could sense a change in him, a growing emotional connection between them. She had become more than just a friend; she had become a lifeline for Izuku in his darkest moments. "Izuku," she said gently, "I'm proud of you for your strength and resilience. Remember, you're not alone in this journey."As the days turned into months, Izuku's grief didn't vanish completely, but he found himself leaning on Momo more and more. She became his confidante, the one person he could turn to when the weight of his emotions became too much to bear alone. He found comfort in her presence, and her unwavering support became a source of solace in his life.Their bond deepened, and Izuku began to rely on Momo not just for emotional support but also for guidance and companionship. He cherished their moments together, whether it was studying, training, or simply sharing quiet moments on the rooftop. In Momo, he found not just a friend, but someone who understood the depth of his pain and was willing to walk beside him on his journey of healing.As they faced the challenges of hero training and life together, it became increasingly clear that Momo held a special place in Izuku's heart. She had become his anchor, the one person who could help him navigate the turbulent sea of his emotions. Their emotional connection had grown into a profound and unspoken understanding, a testament to the power of their friendship and Izuku's growing emotional dependence on Momo as he learned to live with his grief.________________Once Izuku reached the school grounds, Tenya Iida wasted no time pressuring all the classmate to hurry to class. They engaged in a brief conversation by their lockers, while Izuku and Momo engaged in a friendly chat as they made their way to class. Inside, their fellow students discussed the day's plans and the looming homework assignments.The classroom fell silent as Shota Aizawa, now fully recovered from his injuries, walked in without his bandages. He announced that their homeroom class would focus on Hero Informatics, which initially sent shivers of panic through many students, fearing an impending test. However, their anxiety quickly turned to excitement when Shota revealed the real purpose of the day's lesson: choosing their hero code names.As aizawa emphasized the importance of their hero names, Midnight made her entrance and informed the class that she would have the final say on their chosen monikers. She distributed canvases for them to write on and instructed the students to present their choices.Most of the class was too nervous to go first, but Yuga Aoyama bravely stepped forward. He declared, "I cannot stop twinkling" as his hero name. While some of his peers found it odd, Midnight simply shortened it to "Can't Stop Twinkling" and moved on. Next, Mina Ashido attempted to choose "Alien Queen" as her moniker, but Midnight disapproved, cautioning against drawing comparisons to the villain from the movie franchise. This caused some anxiety among the class.However, Tsuyu Asui lightened the mood by choosing the title "Rainy Season Hero: Froppy." The class responded with cheerful approval, relieved to hear a more conventional name.Eijiro Kirishima followed and revealed his chosen hero name, "Sturdy Hero: Red Riot," inspired by his idol, "Crimson Riot." This stirred memories in Izuku, who remembered his childhood days when he playfully chose hero names inspired by All Might. However, he realized that such playful names no longer suited his path, given the rigorous training ahead.Kyoka noticed Denki Kaminari struggling with his choice and suggested "Jamming-Way." Denki liked it until Kyoka admitted it was a playful jab, prompting her to reveal her own selection, "Hearing Hero: Earphone Jack."The class continued with their choices: Mezo Shoji as "Tentacle Hero: Tentacole," Hanta Sero as "Tape Hero: Cellophane," Mashirao Ojiro as "Martial Arts Hero: Tailman," Rikido Sato as "Sweets Hero: Sugarman," and Mina Ashido, who changed her name to simply "Pinky." Midnight enthusiastically approved each name.Denki Kaminari chose "Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt," Toru Hagakure became "Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl," Momo Yaoyorozu selected "Everything Hero: Creati," and Shoto Todoroki opted for simplicity with just his first name. Fumikage Tokoyami decided on "Jet Black Hero: Tsukuyomi," Minoru Mineta went with "Fresh Picked Hero: Grape Juice," Koji Koda silently chose "Petting Hero: Anima," and Katsuki Bakugo proudly proclaimed his heroic identity as "The Explosive Hero: PyroGuard." With unwavering confidence, Bakugo explained the meticulous thought behind his chosen name. He spoke of the fusion of "pyro" (fire) and "guard," a name that symbolized his unwavering commitment to protecting others with his explosive abilities.Finally, Ochaco Uraraka took her turn and revealed "Uravity" as her chosen name. This left only Tenya, and Izuku to decide on their aliases.While Tenya pondered his choice, he remembered his brother's wish. Tensei Iida had informed him of his paralysis and passed on the name "Ingenium" to his younger brother. Tenya confidently adopted the name.Midnight called Izuku to the front next, and his classmates were taken aback by his choice: "The Dual-Named Hero: Illogical Heaven/Heavenly Anomaly." Izuku explained that his Quirk defied logic, and he aspired to create a safe haven for citizens, much like the one someone had created for him. He gestured towards Momo, and he is the heavenly anomaly for villains who are forced to contend with an illogical existence.The class nodded in understanding and approval as Izuku's unique hero name reflected his determination to protect and uplift others in his own unconventional way.PS: illogical heaven you know but for heavenly anomaly it represents izuku's rebuilding pride in himself. and all this happened in 1 month after the hosu attack
