"Oww... my head hurts" I uttered opening my eyes. I was lying on the floor somewhere in the middle of a room.

"Where is this?" I asked myself as I looked around but everything around me was white.

I pushed my body up and noticed the sharp pain as I did so. My hands were covered in bruises as were my feet.

"Oh... that's right... I remember now" my face saddened.

"I was tested by Flower-san but I failed..." I let out a long sigh and dropped to my knees.

"Guess I was never meant to learn her methods anyway" I said, letting my head hang down, disappointed in myself.

"What are you talking about?" my eyes widened and I felt a touch on my shoulder, my head never swung around so quickly.

"S-Shoto..." my eyes met his.

"What are you doing here?" I asked surprised.

"You see... I thought you could need some help since you look like you 've given up hope" he said, giving a warm smile.

"H-Help? From you?" he nodded, letting go off my shoulder and kneeling before me.

"Why would you offer me help? That does not sound like you at all... at least not the present you" I removed my eyes from him and looked at my bruised hands. He chuckled lightly and placed his hand on my head, petting it gently.

"You are right, this does not sound like the present me at all but deep inside you know that I am still the kind boy who treasures you a lot" my eyes looked up to his smiling face and I began crying without helping it.

"W-Why would you say something this kind to me? Remember that it was me who hurt you the most... I am the last person who you should treasure" he gently brushed away my tears.

"No matter what you did, this bond we have will never break " he pulled me into a deep hug, holding my head to his chest.

"Never forget that! I will always be there for you when you need me" I cling onto his shirt and nuzzled my teary face into his warmth.

"T-This isn't real! You would never say those words I actually want to hear... I am just imagining that you are here!" he held me tighter.

"It's true, I am not really here and this is just your imagination but (First name), you have to believe that everything I told you is exactly what the real me is thinking. You know very well that I would never think ill of you despite my actions..." I knew but it was still difficult to believe.

"I wish I could tell you the truth! Everything that happened back then! I wish I could tell you the reason why I hurt you!" I was shaking and he comforted me.

"One day the real me will know, but in order to do so you have to wake up... you have to let me go and return to the place you belong." I nodded and he slowly let go off my body.

"I will tell you everything one day I promise! I make everything right!" I shouted.

"I know you will and I will be waiting for you!".

I opened my eyes, finding myself back in the real world. However I was lying fully bandaged in a hospital bed.

"Ehh? Were my wounds this bad?" I thought as I examined my body.

"Look who is back under the living" my eyes widened as I recognized Flower-san's voice.

"F-Flower-san..." I somehow felt ashamed to face her because I failed.

"I am sorry to disappoint you, I guess I wasn't strong enough to learn your methods after all" I apologized as she sit down on the chair next to my bed.

"What are you apologizing for? I never said you were a failure" I looked at her confused.

"What? But I could not defend myself against you at the staircase..." she chuckled loudly and it became even stranger.

"You really don't remember at all what happened?" she asked, all I could do was shake my head.

"Well, I too thought that you would fail after making you use your powers all day long. I confronted you at the staircase to see if your body was still strong enough to fight. The moment you fell I was sure you would die. The bruises on your body were too bright, but in the last moment you surprised me. Even though your lost consciousness, your body continued to fight and well... you managed to strike back and save yourself" she pulled her sleeves up and showed me her burn scars. My eyes widened, did I really hurt her without knowing?

"Congratulations little one, you managed to learn my method" she smiled.

"W-What? That was all?" she chuckled.

"Tell me, who was it?" she asked interested.

"Ehh? Who was who?" I raised my eyebrow.

"The person who gave you the power to surpass your weakness" My face clearly expressed what I was thinking and she petted my head.

"I know just how you feel, it was the same for me when I first developed this method. A very special person gave me the power and the courage to surpass my own limits, even today he is still the most precious person to me who gives me courage to go on" She stroke over her ring and I knew that it was her husband whom she was talking about.

"Thank you Flower-san, and I apologize for causing you so much trouble... as well as for the burn scars" she shook her head.

"Don't worry about that, it will heal very soon. Now it's important that you recover and after that I can show you how to use your powers correctly and more effective than before.

The internship came to an end and everyone returned to U.A. I walked into the classroom and immediately all eyes were on me, like I was stranger, understandable though. I placed my books on my table and Ochako walked up to me.

"E-Excuse me, but this seat is already taken by someone else from our class" I smiled and was about to explain myself when Shoto suddenly approached me, he stopped right before me and stared at me which felt like hours.

"So... you are back to your old self, who would have guessed" he said, causing everyone in our class to chatter.

"...Yes" I replied and noticed how his eyes scanned me carefully before he removed them.

"I suppose you fully managed to master your quirk, now I'm really looking forward to fight you" he said before passing me and taking a seat on his table.

"Don't worry... I won't disappoint you again" I smiled to myself and looked at everyone who was gathered around us.

"Excuse me... are you actually...?" Mina started.

"Yes..." I smiled

"Sorry to confuse you all, but this is actually how I look. The immense power of my quirk which I was not able to control changed the way I looked." I explained.

"But during my internship I learned how to control it and my old looks returned... so I'd like to introduce myself again, this time as the real me" everyone still stared at me since they were not used to my present image.

"Hi! My name is (Last & First name), my quirk is Molecules! Nice to meet you all!"
