Chapter 2 Reunion

Libra Academia doesn't own My Hero Academia

"P-please d-deku-kun… just for tonighht.." another hollow promise whispered into his ear, her breath drenched with alcohol.

Uraraka always got her way, she pressed her chest against him. Her shirt showing far more skin than appropriate for a married woman. Izuku couldn't think straight as the shots were finally starting to catch up to him.

It wasn't the first time she had done this, after all the troubles they had experienced. She had pushed him into drinking before in the past, just to get another chance at this. It wasn't hard to get what she wanted. She didn't need to resort to this...

Izuku had known for a while that Uraraka had been obsessed with him since their UA days, he had felt the same. But neither of them had the courage to take it to the next step. When Ochaco had finally gathered up the determination to admit her feelings to her beloved green haired knight in shining armor, Ashido had beaten her to the punch.

While at the time Uraraka had given them her blessings, it had secretly destroyed her. She acted out, grabbing anything that would hurt her deku and make him react.

That was how she started dating Bakugo, she wanted Deku to fight for her, leave mina and show her how important she was to him. Katsuki had gone with it, he wanted to twist the knife in the back of Deku and have something deku wanted.

Even though they started the relationship for different reasons than actual romance. Time and mutual respect slowly developed into a sort of fragile love.

However after the horrible thing Bakugo did to Asui, Uraraka couldn't stand being in the same room with her husband, she would never forgive him. The divide between them grew to the point neither knew what to do, so Uraraka fell back into what she knew and was comfortable with, loving her deku. Something that never truly went away.

Izuku was pressed against the wall of his apartment, he knew it was wrong to go drinking with Uraraka again. She was married…. to one of his best friends nevertheless It always ended up like this. Even as the number one hero, he knew he was being morally reprehensible as he half-heartedly pushed her away. He instantly missed the softness of her body as she stumbled back drunkenly.

"Uraraka-san! You know I cant… Mina.. Eri… What would they say…" he couldn't let them down, even if they were gone and not coming back.

Ochaco's face, slightly red from the booze they had shared at the bar, curled into a frown. Tears formed on her eyes. She pushed forward, gripping on him tighter and pressing him against the wall harder. If Izuku wanted he could push her off, he had super strength, but subconsciously he wanted this, she knew it, he had to. He loved every inch of Uraraka, he enjoyed every forbidden action they did. These thoughts are what pushed her further into his arms.

Her lips pressed against the side of his lips sloppily, she wanted the loneliness to go away, the constant disgust and hate that would consume her mind nonstop didn't bother her when she got what she wanted.

Her shirt with the top few buttons missing so carelessly. He hated the smell of alcohol that always came with these moments. He knew he was going to give into her, this wasn't the first time that they had done this behind Bakugo's back. He even figured Kacchan knew, but he wouldn't say anything, God everything was just so warped and messed up after all the loss and bad decisions they had all made.

"Just for tonight… Izu-kun…" she only used Izu-kun when she tried this.

"I...I… Don't…" he stuttered. Feeling her kiss his lips this time. She grabbed him pulling him onto the couch, accidentally knocking over the only lamp that was on in the room as they collapsed together. Maybe this last time would be enough for both of them as Izuku gave in...

The shower at his mom's was always a little too finicky for his taste, not that it mattered now. By some miracle, some higher power, he had done it. It seemed like the past 10 years were nothing but a long and painful nightmare.

Hot water splashed against his face, he always did his best thinking in the shower. His tears mixed with the water and soap running down his face. Seeing his mother alive and making breakfast, had shaken his very core.

He still didn't know exactly how he had returned, it must have been All for one's gift that had saved him. Izuku was blessed with a second chance to make things right.

Deku thought back, what could he change to prevent the horrors of the calamity. He had spent countless nights imagining ways to fix everything, missed opportunities to have everyone still alive.

But his head felt so fuzzy, worse than after normally waking up. Even worse than how he felt after going with Mineta and Kaminari on singles night at the local tavern.

He looked at his hands, no longer scared from his inability to control his powers. Izuku didn't recognize them at first, it had been so long since they were in this condition. He wouldn't let them end up so bad again.

"Izuku! Breakfast for my big man's big day!" shouted his mom as she finished the final touches to breakfast. It was going to be his first day at UA, he would need all the energy he could get.

She was a bit puzzled why izuku had bursted into tears and gave her a hug that knocked the wind out of her, of course this was his first day at his dream school. That would explain the excitement. She thought as she poured an entirely too large glass of extra pulpy orange juice.

Izuku rushed to the train station, he had sped through breakfast, tears threatening to burst out once again if he had stayed with his mother any longer, he had to remind himself he had time now, plenty of time.

His body felt so heavy, even though he knew he was about 200 pounds of muscle lighter in this form. It had been so long since he didn't use full cowl full time, something he had earned over years of constant training and practice. His control over his ability is far greater than when he was younger but he knew his body wouldn't be able to take the force for long.

Wondering what that limit could be, he activated a tiny bit of one for all. Just enough to make sure he made his train with plenty time to spare. He felt his body explode as he surged to 10 percent and completely tripped due to intense muscle pain he felt.

He tumbled into a stack of trash cans in a truly embarrassing fashion. Arms burning, legs screaming, ten percent was too far a push. It was going to be awhile before he can use that mode, hell full cowl might at 5% would be too much.

Getting up with a limp he headed for the train, hoping not to miss it due to his misstep.

Sorry for the long time it took the post this chapter. I'm terrible at updating. I have the whole story in my head I just have to write it down. Now for the uniqueness of this time travel is that the future isn't completely forgotten. Every chapter will start with a flashback to the future and more of the mystery will be revealed.
