Twist, turns, and hanging upside down

I got home and went into my room only to see my dad looking through my stuff. I wasn't even the mood to question to ask what was going on and just laid down on my bed. After a couple of minutes, I fell asleep and hoped things would get better in the future. I spent the next couple of weeks trying to enjoy myself with my friends and have fun. Thankfully, nothing serious happened and I was able to relax. Mirai, Midoriya, and I have been hanging out more often after the incident and have had sparring matches with each other to improve ourselves. When I felt I was ready, I went over everything that happened ever since I was reborn as Denki. It seemed that the black lightning had to deal with my mother, but there's more to the story that I don't know about. For example, what was the quirk that the man gave my mother anyway? Mini already has told me that she can't do it and there's no way I can ask the man himself. There's also the matter of the intruder that was in the system. The machine was Maria and she didn't let anyone she didn't trust near it or even know about it. The fact that the intruder was inside at the same time we were was no coincidence. The only explanation that makes sense is that the intruder was the soul that connected with the black lightning. If that was the case, then what was it trying to accomplish by messing with the system controls. Was he trying to steal one of our bodies? If that was its goal, then why didn't they finish their plan and instead save Midoriya and I from being killed. Another thing that bothers me was that the intruder wasn't a woman. If they weren't a woman, then it can't possibly be my mother. If it isn't her, then who could it possibly be? The more I think about it, the less it makes sense. If only there was a way to travel to the past to see for myself. When I was lost in thought, Freezer texted me to meet up with her at McRonalds by the train station. I thought it was pretty weird since Freezer hates McRonalds because she says they have terrible food. On the other hand, Mini seems to love their food for some reason. I went to the McRonalds only to find it empty with no one inside. This had to be a trap, but why go out of the way to lure me here. From the back of the store, a man with a large knife appeared and called himself, The Dark Knight (aka The Butcher).

Butcher: I've heard you given some of my followers a tough time, so I decided to kill you and power up my blade even further. The fact that your mother got such a powerful quirk from that man is a bonus because I can kill you and take some of that power for myself.

Denki: You know about that?! How?

Butcher: I guess I can explain it to a dead man. It's because I was there. I saw the power your mother gained with my own eyes.

Denki: What power did she gain?

Butcher: What's the fun in just telling you. Let's fight.

He snapped his fingers and a variety of people started forming in thin air. To be more accurate, three people suddenly appeared out of thin air. A short, skinny boy with a lollipop in his mouth and a yo-yo in his hand. A tall woman with long black hair wearing a maid outfit appeared as well with a bunch of knives in her hand. The last one was a handsome man wearing a butler's outfit. The boy with the yo-yo lounged at me first and tried using his yo-yo to attack me. I dodge easily, but the yo-yo suddenly appeared from the ceiling and hit me on top of my head. It seems he can open portals that can transport some objects. As I was about to use Indiscriminate Shock to deal massive damage to everyone there. The boy snaps his fingers and Freezer is dropped from a space in the ceiling. She is currently all tied up and hanging upside down. I'm getting a sense of major Déjà vu.
