- LINEBREAK -

Midoriya Izuku is 8 years old when his life ends abruptly. A ball slipping out of his hands after a particularly harsh shove from Kacchan and a speeding car was his downfall.

The car swerved, but in the end, it is not enough. The sound of bones breaking and the harsh crack of a head against tarmac can be heard before all hell breaks loose.

The mothers scream can be heard, full of so much pain as she watches her only son is thrown back from the impact. Inko can feel her life fall apart as she runs.

The car speeds off, the driver scared and horrified. They don't stop, they don't want to see what they've done.

Midoriya Izuku is 8 years old when he learns he has a quirk.

He doesn't remember much, just running after his ball then nothing. But, in this blackness there is something. He can feel it. He calls out, his small voice loud in the total silence.

"Hello?"

His voice echoes but he receives no answer. He calls out again, louder.

"Hello?"

Something moves and suddenly he can see. Light destroys the darkness and a short form of another greets him.

"Hello!"

The small girl grins, her sharp teeth glinting in the light. She seems happy to see him.

"I'm so happy your finally here! I thought I'd be alone forever."

Izuku tilts his head, curious.

"Where are we?"

If possible, her grin widens. It stretches across her face and he can see her eyes light up playfully.

"This is your place, silly!" She giggles. "The special place you come when you die."

Izuku heart freezes. "D-die?! What do you mean die? I can't die! That's.. That's.."

Catching on to his growing panic, the girl places a hand on his cheek. It's cold, like ice, but the touch brings him back to focus on her.

"Not forever, Izu. You can return whenever you want! You had to come here first, I needed to talk to you."

Not forever? Can he go back? Yes, Izuku would like that a lot. Wait...

"How do you know my name?"

Her purple eyes widen in surprise and she lifts her hand to cover her mouth.

"Oops, sorry Izu. I forgot you don't know me. Just, sit down and I'll explain."

Izuku drops to the ground, letting out a soft grunt as he lands. He didn't expect the ground to be as hard as it was. He looks up at the girl, who was now settling down in front of him. As she sits cross-legged, she smoothes down the dress she was wearing.

"Okay! First, names!" She claps her hands together happily. "My name is Mariko, but please just call me Mari! I like that better."

Izuku nods, smiling slightly. Mari's energy was contagious.

"And," Mari pauses for dramatic effect. "I'm a part of your quirk! Well, kinda..." She trails off.

"Makes sense." Izuku agrees, before actually registering what Mari had said. "W-wait, what? My quirK? What do you mean my quirk?!" Izuku startles, nearly falling back.
