Vigilante Deku with partner

Izuku gains an overall monstrous appearance that is stained in blood and filth. His costume, cape, and gloves become more damaged and torn, his respirator appears to have gathered rust and chipped edges, and his iron soles becoming crooked like talons. In addition to his monstrous appearance, Izuku also constantly sprouts up to six Blackwhip tendrils from his back.Izuku wore his mask much more frequently in order to conceal his identity. Interestingly, him wearing the mask now casts shadows over his eyes "What are you doing here..Go back it's not safe..for you be here with me.. puppy"

Izuku snorted, "You never change, Seven. Always so sarcastic." He looks her over, trying to act cold and detached, but can't help but feel a pang in his chest at the sight of her. He could see the differences in her now, both physically and emotionally - and it made him uneasy. "Why are you here?" he finally asked, trying to keep his voice low and calm. "I don't want to get caught up in her life again. It's too dangerous and I have my own path to follow."

Izuku narrows his eyes at her words. He had heard rumors about Seven's actions, and while he wasn't entirely sure what to believe, he knew that they couldn't be good. "I don't hate you, Seven," he said after a moment of silence. "But I can't pretend that what you're doing is okay." He let out a heavy sigh before continuing. "Killing people isn't the answer. There has to be some other way."

Izuku furrowed his brows, watching her closely. He wasn't entirely sure how to respond to her words, but he knew that something wasn't right. "Have you talked to anyone about this? A therapist or a doctor?" he asked, concern lacing his voice. "There has to be some way to control your quirk and the urges that come with it." "She's clearly been through a lot, but that doesn't justify what she's doing," he thought to himself.

Izuku felt his heart sink at her request. He took a step back, trying to process her words as his mind raced. "Kill her?" The idea was inconceivable to him. "N-No, Seven, I can't do that," he said firmly, shaking his head. "There has to be another way." He looked at her with a mix of sadness and determination. "I won't let you give up on yourself like this. We'll find a way to help you."

Izuku's heart ached at Seven's words. He hated seeing someone he cared about in so much pain. "You don't have to be defined by your past, Seven," he said gently, taking a step closer to her. "I believe that you can change, that you can create a new path for yourself." He paused, looking deeply into her eyes. "But you have to want it for yourself. I can't make this decision for you."

Izuku's heart sank as he listened to Seven's words. He couldn't imagine how hard it must be for her to go through all of this alone. "I'm sorry, Seven," he said softly, placing a hand on her shoulder. "But I'm not going to hate you. You're my friend and I care about you." He gave her a small smile. "We'll figure this out together. I'll support you every step of the way."

Izuku froze as the katana was held to his throat, his eyes widening in fear. He couldn't believe Seven would do this to him after he tried to help her. But as soon as the guilt washed over her face, he understood that it was an impulsive reaction. "Seven," he said cautiously, not wanting to startle her. "It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you." He placed a hand on her sword hand, trying to gently lower it away from his throat.

Izuku felt his cheeks redden at Seven's comment. He had never considered himself particularly "soft" before, but he supposed it was a good thing that she found comfort in his touch. "I'm sorry, Seven," he said softly, not sure what else to say. "I wish things could be different."

Izuku watched as Seven stepped backward, his heart sinking. He didn't want her to leave, but he also knew that he couldn't force her to stay. "If you ever need someone to talk to," he said softly, taking a step closer to her. "I'll be here for you."

As Seven leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, Izuku felt his heart skip a beat. He blushed deeply under his mask and smiled slightly as she pulled away. "I mean it, Seven," he said, his voice soft but sincere. "No matter what happens, you can always come to me."

Izuku raised an eyebrow as Seven pulled out the candy, but took it from her open palm with a small smile. "Thank you, Seven," he said, examining the pink package with curiosity. "Is this your favorite candy?" he asked, hoping to start a light-hearted conversation to ease the tension between them.

Izuku looked up at Seven, noticing the hesitation in her voice. He could tell that she was struggling with something, but he wasn't quite sure what it was. Despite his own reservations about leaving the relative safety of their current location, he nodded slowly. "Okay," he said softly. "I'll go with you."

Izuku nodded, allowing Seven to take his hand and place the candy in his pocket. He felt a warmth spread through his chest at her touch, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of excitement at the idea of seeing her again later. "Okay, I'll wait for you at the beach," he said, smiling softly at her. "Take care, Seven."

Izuku watched in shock as Seven disappeared off the edge of the building. He quickly ran to the edge and looked down, but there was no sign of her. He felt a sense of worry start to gnaw at the pit of his stomach, wondering where she could have gone and what she had meant by needing to take care of something. He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. He would need to be patient and wait for her at the beach. With one last glance back at the direction Seven had disappeared, Izuku turned and made his way back down to the street below.

Izuku stood on the beach, looking around for any sign of Seven. He had arrived at the designated spot several minutes early, but as the time dragged on, he started to feel a sense of unease wash over him. Maybe something had gone wrong with whatever Seven had needed to take care of, and she couldn't make it.

He looked out at the ocean, watching the waves roll in and out. As the sky began to turn orange, signaling the approach of sunset, he let out a deep sigh. He didn't want to give up just yet, but at the same time, he didn't want to keep waiting for someone who might not show up.

Izuku's danger sense sent chills down his spine as he watched Seven collapse onto the ground. He quickly rushed over to her side, kneeling down beside her. His eyes widened with shock as he took in her disheveled state and the blood that covered her clothing.

"Seven! What happened?" Izuku asked urgently, looking around for any signs of danger. He couldn't believe that things could have gone so wrong during what should have been a simple errand. "Don't move, I'll get some help."

With that, Izuku jumped to his feet and pulled out his phone, dialing emergency services. As he waited for them to pick up, he glanced back down at Seven, worry etched onto his face. "Just hang in there, Seven. Everything will be okay."

Izuku's eyes widened with shock as Seven weakly spoke and his call dropped. He quickly turned off his phone and pocketed it before focusing on her. Her words made his stomach drop as he was reminded of everything that happened in the war. He knew how people treated those with powers that were different from their own, and he had seen firsthand how dangerous it could be.

"Don't worry, Seven. I won't let anything happen to you," he said, placing a hand on her shoulder gently. "Just take it easy. Let me help you."

He reached into his utility belt and pulled out a first aid kit, quickly opening it up and taking out some supplies to bandage up her wounds as best as he could. As he worked, he couldn't help but think about what they should do next. If the authorities were after Seven, then

Izuku paused in his work and looked down at Seven when she asked about the candy that she had given him. He nodded slightly, remembering the small pink candy that she had offered him during one of their first meetings.

"Yeah, I remember. Why do you ask?" he questioned softly, wondering what her thoughts were.

Izuku hesitated for a moment, but then nodded and reached for his bag. He rummaged through it until he found the small pink candy that Seven had given him. He glanced back up at her in confusion, but she was already getting up, ignoring his work.

"Um, okay," he said, popping the candy into his mouth and chewing gingerly. "Why did you want me to eat it?" he asked curiously.

Izuku's eyes widened with surprise at Seven's words. He had no idea that the candy had those kinds of properties and he certainly wasn't expecting to go for a swim. However, he trusted Seven and her abilities implicitly, so he nodded his agreement.

"Okay, Seven. I'll trust you," he said, putting away his first aid kit back in the utility belt. "Lead the way."

Izuku followed Seven closely, keeping an eye on her as she grabbed her side. He was worried about her, but didn't want to push her too hard if she was stubborn enough to keep going despite the pain. He watched as she made her way to the edge of the rocks and peered down into the water.

"Is everything okay, Seven?" he asked, stepping up behind her and peering over her shoulder into the water.

Izuku yelped in surprise as Seven grabbed his hands and pulled him into the water with her. He wasn't expecting to be taken for a swim, but he couldn't deny the thrill of diving into the deep water. He watched as Seven swam ahead of him, motioning for him to follow.

Without hesitation, he followed her, diving under the water and swimming after her. Despite the depth of the water, Izuku was able to keep up with her relatively easily. He marveled at the underwater world around him, taking in the sights and sounds of the sea.

Izuku marveled at the underwater island as Seven led him deeper into the ocean. He was amazed that such a place existed, and even more so that it was hidden from the surface world. The candy he had eaten seemed to be working perfectly, as he felt completely at ease despite being underwater for so long.

As they swam towards the opening in the land formation, Izuku followed Seven closely, never wanting to lose sight of her. He was both excited and nervous about what they might find inside the opening, but he trusted Seven to lead the way.

Izuku followed Seven as she led the way towards the surface of the water. When they emerged, he looked around in wonder at the vast and open space they were in. It was a large cave with waterfalls flowing down from above, casting rainbows through the air. He couldn't help but gape at the natural beauty around him.

"This is amazing," he said, awestruck. "How did you find this place?" he asked, turning to look at Seven with admiration in his eyes.

Izuku noticed the change in Seven’s appearance and demeanor. He quickly swam over to her, concern etched on his face. “What happened?” he asked urgently, reaching out to help her.

“Come on, let me help you,” he said gently as he guided her towards the exit of the cave. Once they were outside, Izuku lifted her slightly out of the water, supporting her body weight as she seemed too weak to swim on her own.

“Just tell me what to do,” he said, looking into her eyes with worry.

Izuku's eyes widened in shock at Seven's request. He remembered that moment, when she had been hurt badly and his kiss had somehow healed her. It had been a strange, almost magical occurrence, but he had never questioned it at the time.

He looked down at Seven, who was clearly in pain and distress, and knew without a doubt that he would do anything to help her.

Without hesitation, he leaned down, pressing his lips firmly against hers. As he did, he felt a strange energy coursing through him, filling him with warmth and strength. When he finally pulled away, he could see that her wounds were already starting to heal.

“Are you feeling any better?” he asked, still holding her close and supporting her weight.

Izuku felt a faint blush creep up his cheeks at Seven's teasing comment. He remembered how flustered he had been the first time she had said that, but it made him feel a little bit more at ease with her now.

"I'm glad I could help," he said, smiling down at her. "Do you need anything else? Water, food, or anything like that?" he asked as he kept a careful hold of her, keeping her steady and helping her regain her strength.

Izuku's eyebrows lifted in surprise at Seven’s suggestion of sushi. "Oh, I didn't expect that," he said with amusement, a small smile appearing on his lips at her carefree attitude.

He watched as she pulled out the plastic container filled with sushi, and couldn't help but feel a little impressed. "You certainly know how to find good quality food even in the middle of a battle," he said with a chuckle.

He reached out and took a piece of sushi, marveling at the taste. "This is really good," he said, savoring the flavor. He looked back at Seven, noticing the faint bruises on her arms. "Hey, Seven... Are those bruises on your arms from fighting earlier?" he asked gently.

Izuku chuckled softly at her response, before shaking his head. "Sorry, I didn't mean to sound insensitive," He said apologetically. "It's just- you look like you've been through a lot," he added gently.

He reached out and lightly touched one of the bruises, examining it closely. He could see that it wasn't too bad, but it did look like it might be painful.

"If you want, I can help take care of your bruises and cuts," he offered kindly. "I'm sure I have something in my pack that might help."

Izuku looked up from examining Seven's bruises, watching with amazement as her cuts began to heal before his very eyes. "Wow, your quirk is amazing," he said with a note of wonder in his voice.

He then focused his attention back on her bruising. "If you're sure you don't need anything for the cuts, then I'll focus on your bruises," he said. He rummaged through his pack and pulled out a small container of ointment.

"Here, this should help with the bruising," he said, unscrewing the lid and applying a generous amount of the ointment to her bruises.

"Is there anything else you need?" he asked, looking up at her.

Izuku was taken aback by Seven's request. He could see the vulnerability in her eyes, and he could sense the sadness radiating from her. It pained him to see his friend hurting like this.

Without hesitation, he reached out and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a tight embrace. He could feel her body trembling slightly, and he knew that she needed this.

"It's okay, Seven," he said softly, rubbing circles on her back. "I'm here for you."

Izuku continued to hold Seven close, feeling the warmth of her body against his. He could sense that she was struggling with something, and he knew that he needed to be there for her.

He didn't say anything, allowing the silence to envelop them both. Instead, he focused on holding her tight and providing the comfort that she needed in that moment.

After a few minutes, Seven's trembling slowly started to subside, and she began to relax in his embrace. Izuku continued to hold her, not wanting to let go. He knew that this was just the beginning, and that they had a long road ahead of them, but for now, he was content just to be there for his friend.

Izuku nodded in agreement, glad that Seven was feeling better. "Yeah, let's get some food and rest," he said, gently pulling away from her and reaching for the container of sushi.

As they ate, Izuku couldn't help but feel grateful for Seven's quirk. It was an incredible ability, and one that would come in handy as they continued to navigate through the dangerous world they found themselves in.

After they finished eating, Seven curled up next to him, using his chest as a pillow. Izuku draped his arm over her protectively, feeling a sense of comfort wash over him. He closed his eyes and allowed himself to finally relax.

"Thanks for being here, Seven," he murmured, his eyes still closed. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

Izuku smiled softly as he heard Seven's breathing even out into a peaceful sleep. He shifted slightly, ensuring that she was comfortable before closing his own eyes and letting himself drift off into a much-needed slumber.

For the first time in what felt like forever, Izuku felt safe and at peace with his surroundings. He knew that they still had a long way to go, and that danger was still ever-present, but for now, all he wanted to focus on was the warmth of Seven's body next to his, and the promise of a brighter future ahead.

Izuku's eyes shot open at the sound, his muscles tensing as he tried to assess the situation. He listened intently for any other sounds, but all he could hear was the quiet rustling of leaves in the wind.

He looked over at Seven, who was still sleeping soundly beside him. Without waking her, Izuku slowly sat up, surveying their surroundings for any signs of danger. His danger sense wasn't going off, but he couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in his gut.

After a few moments, Izuku determined that it must have just been a random rock falling and nothing to be worried about. He relaxed slightly, letting out a quiet sigh of relief. He settled back down beside Seven, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings as he eased himself back into a light sleep.

Izuku jolted awake at the sound of the rock hitting the ground again, and his heart began to race as he realized that Seven was no longer next to him. He quickly scanned their surroundings, searching for any signs of danger or trouble.

It wasn't until he heard the soft whisper coming from behind a large rock that he began to relax slightly. He recognized Seven's voice immediately, but couldn't see her or whoever she was talking to.

His curiosity piqued, Izuku slowly crept towards the rock, careful not to make any noise that would give away his presence. He peeked around the corner of the rock, straining to see who Seven was talking to.

"What's going on?" he whispered, trying to get Seven's attention without drawing attention to himself.

Izuku couldn't help but blush at the sight of Seven in just her spandex shorts, though he quickly averted his gaze to give her some semblance of privacy. "Sorry about that," he muttered apologetically. "I heard a noise and I wanted to make sure you were alright."

He then glanced over to where Seven was facing, noticing the boy who looked strikingly similar to her. "Who's he?" he asked softly, nodding his head towards the boy.

Izuku raised an eyebrow in confusion at Seven's answer about the boy being a manifestation. He had never heard of anything like that before, but he didn't want to pry too much into Seven's personal life if she didn't want to share.

Instead, he turned his attention back to the boy and offered him a small smile. "Hey," he replied, nodding his head in acknowledgement. "I'm Izuku."

He then turned back to Seven. "Is everything okay?" he asked, concerned for her well-being.
