Die Young (IzuKendo)

Line in the Sand

"Jeezus, Nezu. You're gonna make me punch you. And I don't really want to do that." I groan, as the chimera laughs

"That's assuming you'll hear me coming. That aside, I wish to apologize, and maybe ask a question. First and foremost, I'm sorry that wha-"

"Not your fault, sir. Nobody, not even you, could've predicted this. We're lucky nobody actually bit the dust. So don't apologize." I reply, cutting Nezu off, and he goes silent for a second. 

"Well...thank you for being understanding I suppose. Now....my question. You lied about your quirk to your classmates, right?" He asks, and I sigh

"I just never told them what it was, and told them it would be highly unlikely my quirk would ever actually need to be used in our time at U.A. I thought I was being honest at the time. Clearly....." I shrug, and Nezu hums

"You are going to do quite a bit of explaining to them, huh?" Nezu asks, and I sigh

"Maybe so..." I mutter, and Nezu hums yet again

"Anyway, I'll let you out." Nezu chirps, walking up to a panel next to the gate, and presses his little paw against it, opening the gate, which moves silently. 

"See you tomorrow, Nezu."

"I sure hope so." 

The next day

"Midoriya! You're alive!" Kirishima calls as I walk into Class 1-A, jacketless with my shirt-half unbuttoned again. My gut wounds and my chest wounds are still wrapped, but they're less painful. Or, my gut is. My chest is still tender. 

"I mean, yeah. Did you not expect me to be?" I ask, and Kirishima stalls for a second

"To be fair, you did pass out with two very serious wounds." Shoji notes, and I think about it

"I mean....that's fair, I guess. Anyway......I suppose I owe all of you an explanation as to what my quirk is." I say, getting the attention of the class, which has everyone in it, save Aizawa, but he already knows. 

"My is called Unkillable. Not exactly accurate, but rule of cool applies. Anyway, my quirk is theoretically simple. I can't permanently die. If I  medically speaking, die, my body will repair any essential organs that were damaged or destroyed, then fully revive me. Post-revival, my body has a highly enhanced healing factor, estimated to be about 10 times faster than a normal persons, until my body is fulling repaired. And....that's about it. Questions?" I ask, and almost  everybody raises their hands. I point at Uraraka, who is staring me down like she's going to explode 

"How long until you're revived? Is there like, a time limit?" She asks, and I shrug

"Fastest ever was 30 seconds, slowest was 5 minutes. Other than that, it's random at best." I reply, and a few hands go down. I point at Yaoyorozu next, who looks way to fricking tired

"How many times have you died?" She asks, and before I can answer, Bakugo beats me to the punch

"39, unless he died sometime last night." He replies, and a few more hands go down. I then point a finger at Ojiro, who seems a bit uncomfortable

"Do....do you feel pain? Like after you're revived? Or when you die?" Ojiro asks

"Yes. I may have higher pain tolerance due to how many times I've died, as well as how I've died, but yes." I reply, and then point to Tokoyami

"When you die, where do you go?" He asks, and I raise an eyebrow as the rest of the hands in the room go down. 

"Not heaven, I can tell you that much. It's....basically an endless black plain, with nothing that the eye can see save black grass swaying in the breeze, and a single figure staring at you. He introduced himself as Death when I met him. I call him Grim, since that seems to piss him off. And before you ask, yes, he looks like every movie ever has depicted him. Black robe, massive scythe, human skull." I reply, looking at the avian-headed student, who nods. After I answer the question, however, one more hand goes up, and it belongs to Shoji.
