Izuku Midoriya: The Half-Shell Hero

[25] Rise in a Hospital

"You and Kachan caused me a lot of pain in the past," he said. "It was so much, that I had no choice and nearly committed suicide"

Izumi gasped upon hearing that as tears built up in her eyes. She was always against hurting her older brother, but she had no idea it would lead him to end his life.

"I just..." she said before being cut off again.

"Although, if you and Kachan didn't abuse me and drove me to that state, I wouldn't have met the turtle brothers," he said. "So I can't fully blame you"

The sound of sniffles began to fill the room. Izuku turned his head to see Izumi on the verge of breaking into a waterfall of tears.

"You should've taken it," she said in a sobbing voice. "You should've taken OFA!"

Izuku's eyes widened in shock at what she just said as he turned to face her.

"One for All is a power that's supposed to be given to a hero, not an abuser," he said using his free hand to wipe her tears. "I don't deserve to be a hero, not after all the things I have done to you" 

Izuku stayed silent as she kept telling him she was sorry. As she buried her face in her hand, Izuku took a sigh before speaking again.

"Do remember Kota?" Izuku asked quietly. Izumi raised her head to look at him. "You remember how much of a pain he was when we met him?"

"Yeah, what's your point?" she said not getting it.

"Despite how he felt about us and heroes, you stood up to protect him from a very dangerous villain," he said causing her to widen her eyes in surprise. "Plus, my Rasengan wouldn't have gotten strong enough to beat him if it wasn't for you. Saving a child's life made us both heroes"

Izumi sniffled as a small smile began to crawl on her face. All the sorrow she felt in the past slowly began to fade away. Wiping away the last of her tears, she turned to face Izuku.

"I love you, big brother," she said finally able to say it after so long. Looking at the smile on her face, Izuku couldn't help but smile too. "I really missed you"

"Me too Izumi. I love you too," he said as he moved his legs off the bed and held out his left arm and his robotic arm as much as possible. Izumi, having a feeling of what it meant, got out of her bed and walked toward him. She then leaned in and rested her chin on his shoulder while wrapping her left arm around his neck. Izuku reciprocated by wrapping his arm around her waist leaving his robotic arm on the bed. Once they separated, Izuku began to chuckle for some reason.

"What's so funny?" Izumi asked with a raised eyebrow. 

"When you think about it, we can call ourselves, the handy twins," he said wiggling his robotic fingers. Izumi couldn't help but burst into laughter at his joke. It's been years since the two got to laugh together and make jokes.

"Goes to show why we're related," she said wiping the tear from her laughter.

"I think my life really is in danger," Izuku said joking again causing Izumi to laugh even harder. Both of their laughter was then interrupted by the sound of a sneeze. The two stopped laughing and looked outside the window to see 4 green beings hanging upside, watching them like hawks.

"Oh uh......" Leo said wiping his nose with a finger. "Gesundheit?"

Izuku simply sighed before looking at them with a slightly annoyed face.

"Guys, get in here already," Izuku said with a deadpan face. Leo then unsheathed one of his swords and opened a portal through which the 4 fell through. Another blue portal opened in the hospital room the twins were in and came flying out of it was 4 human size turtles.
