A My Hero Academia Fanfiction: Age of Heroes Chapter 10 Chat with a Friend by RVasil

The sun was shining down brightly at Musutafu City Park.

Located in the center of the city, it was a sight of green amidst the towering urban jungle that lined it. Tall trees, wide open grassy areas perfect for picnics, wooden ornate benches, and a few fountains scattered around the area really gave the place a sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of the living city. Kinus sat on one of the wooden benches, watching people walk by. There were a few couples walking around, holding hands with one another. There were families playing around in the playpen nearby. It was comforting to know that although the world had drastically changed ever since Quirks became the norm, there were still some things that stayed the same.

"Hey."

Kinus turned his head to find none other than Tokoyami walking up to him. The black bird was wearing a casual black buttoned shirt with a partner blue jeans to go along with it. Kinus scooted over to give the boy a place to sit next to him on the bench underneath the shade of the tree.

"Thanks for coming out to see me."

Tokoyami shrugged as he sat down. His Quirk, Dark Shadow, popped out and rested on the bird's shoulder. "It's fine, dragon boy," the shadow said. "This guy right here's been needing some sun anyways."

The bird just rolled his eyes. "So, what's up?" he asked. "What did you want to talk about? I admit, I'm genuinely curious." He rested his hand on the bench and glanced curiously at Kinus. "When you told me you couldn't tell me in chat I was intrigued."

"I didn't think you were the mysterious type, dragon boy," Dark Shadow added.

Kinus laughed. "Trust me, I'm trying not to be." The dragon bit his lip, doubt slowly beginning to sprout up in his head. His resolve was firm earlier. He had decided that he wanted to talk to someone about the things he'd been going through, but now he was wondering if it was really the right call.

Dark Shadow's eyes narrowed. "Spit it out, already. You look like you're constipated or something." Tokoyami shushed Dark Shadow, but there was a tell tale sign of a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

After a few tense moments, Kinus released a deep sigh. It was now or never. "I don't know how to properly say this, so I'm just going to say it." He looked Tokoyami in the eye. "I killed someone."

Kinus watched for...anything really. Body language, facial expression, anything that would give him an inkling as to what the bird was thinking. The boy's brow crinkled and Tokoyami looked at him seriously. "If this is a joke, Hazani..."

The dragon shook his head, answering Tokoyami's statement before he could finish it. "I'm not joking. It happened at USJ."

Tokoyami straightened up. Even Dark Shadow who was idly paying attention visibly leaned in, listening intently. "What exactly happened?" The bird then remembered the state Kinus was in when he was escorted out. "Is this why you were so battered and bruised?"

Kinus nodded. He then proceeded to tell Tokoyami everything. He gave him an account of what happened while they were at the Fire Zone. How he and Ojiro fought and were trying to get to the exit when Blur appeared and blew them away. He gave him a brief rundown of his fight with Blur and how at the very end, it was a life or death situation.

He told him that killing Blur was an accident.

"...and that's that," Kinus said, wrapping up his story. There was a bit of a short silence between him and Tokoyami. The bird had listened intently to his story, only serving to ask a question every now and then for clarification. Even Dark Shadow was quiet, but was clearly listening as well. Kinus could see that the both of them were quietly thinking things over.

It was Tokoyami that first broke the silence. "Why are you telling me all of this?"

The dragon took a deep breath. "I don't know. I couldn't tell my mom. She's a police officer and...I...she might put me in jail and I don't want that! I'm too young to go to jail!" he blurted out. "I guess...I wanted someone talk to." He glanced at Tokoyami who was looking at him. "You..." Kinus shrugged, trying to find the right words. Even he himself wasn't sure why he chose Tokoyami. "...I feel like I could trust you." The statement hung in the air for a few moments before the dragon ended up laughing at his own sappy statement. "I'm sorry, it's just..."

"It's fine, Hazani."

Kinus looked at the bird. "You do believe me, right?" Kinus asked him. "Even how absurd this all sounds."

"I admit, it sounds like it has the makings of a revenge manga story, but yes, I do." The bird crossed his arms on his chest, and crossed his legs as he made himself more comfortable on the bench. "My question now is, what are you going to do?"

"Live?" Kinus shrugged. "Keep on living? That's a start I suppose. Try to find out who this guy is, what he wants, and get the police on him."

"Speaking of living," Dark Shadow said, speaking for the first time after being quiet for so long. "I'm amazed you managed to take down a contract killer all by yourself, dragon boy. Consider me impressed."

Kinus smiled sheepishly. "I'd rather not do it again. Do you see this scar?" he asked, pointing to his face. "I can't see out of my right side as clearly as before."

"Don't worry," Dark Shadow said, waving a hand at him. "It makes you look badass."

Tokoyami gave the shadow a disapproving look. "That is very insensitive, Dark Shadow."

The shadow pouted. "I'm being honest."

"Still," Tokoyami said, looking at Kinus, "you shouldn't worry so much, Hazani. While I'm not well versed with the inner workings of law, I'm sure you won't get in as much trouble. You did it out of self defense after all." He then hesitated for a bit before reaching out to place a comforting hand on the dragon's shoulder. "You need to tell your mother. This is a serious matter. Your life is in danger."

The dragon looked at Tokoyami's serious expression before nodding in affirmation. "Yeah...you're right. I guess I just...overreacted?"

"I would have been more surprised if you didn't. You're under a lot of stress." The bird retreated his hand back. "I'm sure things will work itself out." Tokoyami smiled. "Fate moves in mysterious ways."

Kinus nodded, and for the first time, finally felt like he could breathe again. The haze of doubt, fear, and frustration seemingly lifted its weight off his chest and he could take in fresh air again. "Seriously, Tokoyami, thanks for coming out to see me today."

The bird waved a dismissive hand at him. "You do not have to thank me, Hazani. Isn't this what friends are meant to do?"

Kinus smiled.

"Oh my goodness." Kinus and Tokoyami turned both their heads to see Dark Shadow rolling his yellow eyes. "You two sound so sappy right now. It's making me feel weird."

"It's called friendship, Dark Shadow," Kinus remarked, "you should try it some time."

"I feel insulted, dragon boy! I thought we were friends already," Dark Shadow joked back, pretending to look hurt.

"Alright, knock it off you two," Tokoyami said.

The sound of a growl made the trio stop in their conversation. Kinus smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, I wasn't able to eat much back at breakfast." Then an idea popped into his head. "Since we're here anyway, why don't we grab something to eat?"

"That I can agree on," Dark Shadow answered.

"I think I saw a good place down the street," Kinus said leading the way. As the two began to walk, he turned to Tokoyami. "So...you read manga?"

Dark Shadow grinned. "Oh, dragon boy, do I have something to tell you!"

Kinus swore he had never seen Tokoyami looked more distressed than at that moment.

"So you're a fan of Academy of Heroes?" Kinus asked. The two of them were seated inside one of the fast food establishments in the area. Tokoyami was nodding his head, his feathers looking visibly ruffled in response to having to admit one of his interests to the boy. "I didn't know!"

The bird shrugged. "It's...a thing. I read it every now and then."

"I love that show. It's one of my favorite animes!" Kinus's eyes were shining. "I'm actually keeping up with the manga too."

Tokoyami visibly perked up. "You do?"

The dragon began to unpack the burger meal he bought for himself. "I do. I actually have it in a bookshelf at home," Kinus replied.

Tokoyami was silent for a bit, visibly contemplating something deep in his mind. He was unwrapping the packaging of his burger, but it was clear his mind was elsewhere. Dark Shadow formed on his shoulder and Kinus saw the shadow roll his eyes. "You know, you're not going to know if you don't ask, right?"

The bird stiffened and glared at Dark Shadow.

"Ask what?" Kinus asked eyeing the two of them.

After a moment of hesitation, the bird then answered, "Do you have that special issue they released last summer?"

"Special issue last summer...?" Kinus sipped on his soft drink as he thought for a moment. "You mean the special run they released where it was like a special non-canon story where it was set in an alternate fantasy world?"

Tokoyami's eyes lit up. "Yeah, that one. Do you have that by any chance?"

The dragon grinned. "I do! That was one of my favorite special issue runs! Goodness, I wish they'd make an OVA series about it. Though I think they are..." His attention was then taken when he saw the bird across from him sit straight in his chair.

Kinus swore he saw a fire lit behind Tokoyami's eyes. "Hazani."

"Y-yes?"

"May I borrow it?"

Kinus worried what Tokoyami would do if he would say otherwise. "Yeah, sure thing." He chuckled, surprised to see this facet of the bird. "I didn't take you to be a manga fan, Tokoyami."

"I'm a fan of a lot of things," he answered cooly. "I just don't often share my interests with people."

The dragon took a bite of his burger. "Why's that?" When the bird didn't answer him, he opted to throw out a guess. "You think people would find it weird that you're still into manga at your age?" he asked rhetorically.

"I suppose you have a point," Tokoyami replied. He took a french fry and tossed it into his mouth. "I just..." he began, trying to find the right words. "I guess I'm just not used to telling people much about myself, or at the very least, sharing stuff I'm interested in."

"Well I think it's cool," Kinus said. "I'll be sure to bring the manga to school tomorrow so you can read it."

Tokoyami smiled. "Thanks, Hazani."

The conversation lulled for a moment, and only picked up again when Dark Shadow appeared. He asked for a french fry and Tokoyami kindly handed him one, to which the shadow ate happily. A few of the shop patrons gave Dark Shadow curious glances, but kept to themselves. Kinus could understand their curiosity.

The dragon cocked his head to the side. "So, I've been meaning to ask," he began, watching Dark Shadow finish a french fry. "I wanted to ask about Dark Shadow."

Tokoyami's brow rose. "Yeah?"

Kinus decided to ask one of the many questions he had. "What is he exactly?"

The bird glanced at Dark Shadow who helped himself to another french fry that was on the tray. "He's what you see him as." The dragon blinked in response. At the very least that was a serviceable answer. "He's my Quirk," Tokoyami continued, "that's what he is. I can't be any more specific than that as I myself wonder every now and then."

The dragon nodded. "So..." he continued, "does he need to eat then?" He saw Dark Shadow munch down another french fry into his mouth.

Tokoyami shook his head. "He doesn't need to eat. He can, but it's not necessary for him to live. What he does eat, however, just becomes converted to energy for me."

"So you can literally live, never having to eat anything, as long as Dark Shadow eats for you when you're hungry?"

The bird nodded. "But I still like the taste of food." He then proceeded to take a bite of his burger to emphasize his point.

"Does he sleep then?" Kinus continued.

"Sleep is all he ever does," Tokoyami answered flatly, looking at Dark Shadow who was resting on the table.

"He reminds me of a lazy cat," the dragon commented.

"I'll have you know," Dark Shadow spoke up, "that I'm far more than those furry felines." He rolled onto his back and let out a belch. "Have you seen me throw a villian half a street away? I'm sure those kitties can't do that!"

"I'm sure they can't," Kinus replied, reaching forward. He hesitated for a short bit, glancing briefly at Tokoyami, before reaching out fully to practically pet Dark Shadow's exposed chest. The feeling was...definitely something else, to say the least. It was like touching a solid yet soft surface that had a texture that reminded the dragon of a feathery bird, yet was silky smooth at the same time. The shadow froze for a short bit, taken by surprise at the sudden contact, but then eventually relaxed and audibly began to purr at Kinus's petting.

The dragon smiled. "Is he always this friendly?"

"Hardly," Tokoyami answered. "Most of the time he just ignores people."

"I'm glad he talks to me then," Kinus remarked, scratching Dark Shadow's chest one last time before pulling back. "Though I envy Dark Shadow for being able to sleep. I don't think I haven't had a good sleep ever since...you know, USJ."

"You've been having nightmares?" Tokoyami asked, sounding concerned.

The dragon nodded. "Pretty much. I've had a nightmare of what could have happened if I didn't win against Blur..." He visibly shivered, shaking his head. His eyes flickered to his friend. "I saw you guys die because you fought him...and then I died right after."

"I can empathize with how you feel." The bird leaned back in his chair and took a sip from his soft drink. "All the more reason you should get this sorted out with your mother."

"Yeah, you're right."

The rest of the day continued on normally. Kinus and Tokoyami hung out together with Dark Shadow providing amusing commentary and witty jokes every now and then as the two boys wasted time with one another. It gave Kinus the sense of normalcy he never knew he wanted after having to deal with serious life threatening issues a day prior. But as they made their way down the streets, the news reports that featured itself every now and then on the electronic billboards constantly reminded him of what he still needed to do.

It was later that evening, during dinner, that Kinus took the chance to tell his mother about the predicament he was in. He told her everything, about what he had done, who he had fought against and he made it a point to break it to her slowly so she wouldn't get too overloaded by information.

"How'd it go?" Tokoyami's message appeared in the chat box.

Kinus was seated in front of his computer and tried his best to summarize the conversation that had just transpired a few minutes prior. "It was...loud. Very loud. There was crying. I have never seen my mom look so visibly disturbed," he said, typing the messages as he spoke.

Tokoyami's reply came a few moments later. "I half expected as much. What is she doing now?"

Kinus looked back and could audibly hear his mother talking to someone on the phone. "She's relaying information to the police department to get some leads. Trying to find out who Blur is and what his game was. She said that if they can figure out who Blur is, and what type of clients he works with, they can probably narrow down who sent him after me," he typed back in response.

"Here's to hoping this nightmare doesn't get any more worse," Tokoyami's reply said.

"Agreed," Kinus replied.

Kinus let out a yawn as he walked down the halls of U.A.

The sun was shining brightly through the windows, giving the entire place a lively, yellow glow. Kinus was half expecting there to be police, or at the very most, extra security personnel roaming the area as a protective measure in response to the USJ incident but surprisingly, there was none. It was still U.A. as it was the day before the incident. Students and teachers were still roaming around freely, and everyone was acting like nothing happened.

Kinus smiled to himself. If there was one thing that was for certain it was that the people of U.A. were a resilient bunch.

The dragon arrived a few moments later at the door of his classroom and already he could hear the conversations the rest of his classmates were having. A few of the conversations stopped however when he opened the door and made his presence known. Kinus froze as he saw a few of his classmates were looking at him, or at least what the dragon thought was behind him. Kinus turned his head and saw no one there, confirming that they were in fact looking at him. "What?" he asked. "Is there something on my face?"

"What on earth happened to you?" Kaminari blurted out.

"Can you still see, Hazani?" Ashido curiously asked.

"Oh..." Kinus rolled his eyes. It was just his face. "Yes, I still can Ashido. It's a bit blurred on that side, but I'll live."

"So Ojiro wasn't joking then..." Kirishima muttered, as Kinus passed by him and made his way to his seat.

The dragon placed his backpack on his chair and turned around. "Okay, what have you been telling them Ojiro?"

The boy turned in his seat and smiled sheepishly at him. "We got to sharing stories of what we did at USJ and well...I told them what happened with us." Kinus's brow rose, prompting Ojiro to continue. "I told them that we got to fighting thugs and then this super fast, and super strong villain appeared.. He knocked me out but you managed to deal with him."

That...was a somewhat serviceable summarization of their encounter with Blur.

"Is it true, Hazani?" Kirshima asked. "Was he really that fast and strong?"

"Yes," he answered flatly. "I'm very happy that all I got after that was a scar. I was fighting for my life."

Kirishima gave Kinus a thumbs up. "That, is very manly! I wish I was there to fight alongside you. Seems like it would have been an awesome fight."

The dragon just smiled wryly. "I suppose it could have been."

"Still, did you guys see the news updates last night?" Sero asked. "I think I saw a picture of us at one point in the broadcast."

"All the channels made a big deal out it too," Kaminari added.

"Can you blame them?" Jiro chimed in. "The hero course that keeps pumping out pro heroes was attacked. It's only natural for them to be so alarmed."

"Who knows what would have happened if the teachers hadn't come when they did," Sero said, lounging in his chair.

Kinus sat down on his seat and propped his hand on his desk, leaning his head onto it "We would have all died," the dragon commented.

Everyone was visibly stunned at the refreshingly honest statement. Tokoyami who was quietly seated next to Kinus had a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. The juxtaposition of everyone's comments and what happened to Kinus wasn't lost on him.

"Hazani, stop that!" Mineta cried out, looking visibly distressed. "I've been having nightmares ever since USJ! I don't want to think more about it."

"SHUT UP! BE QUIET, SCUM!" Bakugo's loud voice immediately shushed Mineta back to his corner.

"But man, seeing All Might was great! To see him going to town in person is unlike anything I've ever seen before!" Sato added, punching the air in an effort to mimic All Might's power moves.

"Yes, his strength is worth wondering at," Tokoyami commented.

"I wish I could have seen that for myself," Kinus grumbled, his shoulders lowering. "But instead I had to deal with a personal matter..."

"You were off fighting you own battle, Hazani," Tokoyami said, turning to face him. "Besides, with the way you handled yourself, your strength is equally worth wondering."

Kinus smiled, feeling a little embarrassed at the sudden sentiment. "I appreciate the compliment." There was a certain sense of comfort Kinus felt in knowing that someone in the room understood what exactly happened to him. "Though, I have to say that adrenaline does wonders for you."

"EVERYONE! Morning homeroom is about to start! Stop talking and take your seats!"

Everyone stared at Iida who announced his presence with all of the boy's rule powered attitude and equally form fitting flourish.

"We're already in our seats," Kirishima commented.

"Damn it!" Iida muttered frustratedly, sitting down on his chair. "I was late again!" Kouda and Uraraka proceeded to help the boy calm down.

"Tsuyu," Ashido spoke out, "who do you think we'll have as our homeroom teacher?"

The girl thought for a moment. "Well, Mr. Aizawa is supposed to be in the hospital recovering from his injuries."

The sound of the door opening prompted everyone to turn their heads to see who had arrived. Everyone was equally shocked to find a standing, fully mummified Mr. Aizawa greet them with his usual monotone voice. "Good morning." His entire face was wrapped up in bandages, and his arm was placed in a cast. How on earth was he still able to move around with all those bandages?!

"Mr. Aizawa, you're back too soon! Are you alright?" Iida voiced out.

"My well being doesn't matter," he answered, the voice coming out surprisingly clear even though his mouth was blocked by bandages as well. "More importantly, the fight isn't over yet."

Everyone perked up the pro hero's choice of words. "Did the villains attack again?" Kinus muttered, feeling a shiver down his spine.

"The U.A. Sports Festival is drawing near."

"The school sports festival?" Kirishima voiced out. He was about to explode in excitement when Kaminari stopped him.

"Is it okay to have a sports festival so soon after the villains snuck inside?" Jiro asked, voicing everyone's line of thinking.

"What if they attack us again?" Ojiro added.

"Apparently, they think of it as U.A. showing solidarity amidst these troubled times and to show the world that our crisis management system is solid as a rock." Aizawa answered. He then continued, saying, "Obviously, security will also be strengthened in light of recent events. Above all, our sports festival is a huge chance. It's not something we cancel because a few villains decided to ruin our day. Our sports festival is one of Japan's biggest events. It's the olympics of our modern times, literally. It's what everyone is looking forward to," Aizawa said, looking at each and everyone in the class.

He continued,"all the top heroes around the country will be watching for scouting purposes. If any of you are serious in becoming pros, this is your chance to shine. Joining a famous hero agency will get you more experience and popularity. Time is limited. That's one chance a year, totalling of three chances. If you understand that, then don't slack off on your preparations.

A resounding reply came from everyone. "Yes, sir!"

Everyone began to animatedly talk with another. Talks of what training exercise they were going to do became the topic of conversation. Kinus could see Midoriya taking down notes in his notebook. Ojiro and Shouji were talking with one another about possible training regimes. It seemed that everyone had a plan in preparing for the Sports Fest, all spurred on by Aizawa's speech. Kinus nodded. His teacher's words rang true. If he ever intended in having a shot at becoming a pro hero, the Sports Fest was his chance to make a big splash.

"Alright, that's everything," Aizawa remarked. "Homeroom is dismissed."

That was when a knock came from the door. It slid opened, revealing a dog person standing at the other side. He was wearing a simple red plaid shirt and jeans. He idly scratched the tip of his nose as he said, "Aizawa, am I interrupting something?"

"No, Inui," Aizawa replied. "I just finished homeroom. What is it?"

Inui ran a hand through his messy blond hair. "I'm here to pick him up."

"Oh...that," he responded. "I see. Go right ahead."

By now everyone's attention was directed towards the appearance of the newcomer. Inui stepped into the room and stood by the door. "Kinus Hazani," he announced, "I need you to come with me."

A look of surprise crossed Kinus's face upon hearing his name get called out.

What was going on?

Inui then continued, saying, "Principal Nedzu wants to see you."

Author's Notes: Please don't forget to comment you guys! Feedback is always greatly appreciated. I admit, there's a lot of exposition in this chapter mainly because I don't want to keep repeating the same information most of us are already aware of. That is, what Kinus did back in USJ. However, it does allow for fun ways to imply how the conversation went. We also get to have Kinus and Tokoyami hang out. It's always nice to get a breather after a heavy event that they went through. I think they earned it. :D Before you guys ask, no, Inui is not an OC of mine. His name is Ryo Inui, and he's one of the staff in U.A. He's also a pro hero that appeared at USJ. I hope we get more screen time of him as the series goes.
