New World, New Claws

Struggling for air, Hush finally woke up. He found himself on a tiny bed. He was in a blue-painted room, with pictures of dinosaurs painted on the wall.

Hush was silent as he took in what was in front of him. His relaxed face soon contorted to that of fear and surprise as a loud cry escaped his mouth. Behind the door, he could hear a rustle of movement and instinctively, Hush burried himself into the corner.

'What the hell is happening! This isn't my room, I'm suppose to be dead!'

Hush's mind was in panic mode. It was flooded with questions, crying, and internal screaming. He was so caught up in his death, he failed to notice a couple entering the room.

Caught by surprise, the couple raised him to the to the air and hugged him. Shocked and scared, Hush frantically tried to get away only to be trapped by the two people's embrace. He desperately tried to shout, only to find he was just crying.

'It can't be...!?' The realization finally hit him. He was now staring at a mirror. He expected to see his normal self, but only to find he was a baby!

'Nooooooo!!' He yelled in his thoughts, understanding that no matter what he did, all that would come out is a cry.

Hush was laying down on his bed, a permanent smile plastered on his face.

"I can't believe it, I actually am here" he muttered, finally being able to talk.

After his initial mental break down, Hush finally realized that he was reincarnated. At first he was hesitant but later a sense of joy flooded his entire body. Of course he knew he died, and that he left his family and friends, but come on he reincarnated!

For a while he was bothered for his lack of problems in accepting his new life, but he decided to forget about that. His life was over, and now he could finally make a fresh start.

And of course it did not disappoint.

You see, to calm Hush down, his now "parents" decided to take him to the park. At that time Hush was finally starting to calm down, and when he arrived at the park his entire body wanted to scream.

'Yeaaaahhhhhh!!' He thought to himself, as he finally understood. He wasn't just reincarnated, he was isekaid. And now he was in the world of My Hero Academia!

He would always replay the moment when he realized he was in another world. It was when he saw a boy jumping up and down, completely normal. Until he broke off into smaller pieces. His limbs we're literally spread all across the sand pit.

Hush wanted to scream until his now mother, comforted him. And at the time, is when the magic moment happened.

"Don't worry sweety" His mom said "It's just his QUIRK"

Quirk. At that word, the world around him grew distant, and the once mild joy of reincarnation was now transformed into that of a raging fire.

His mother was worried a she saw her son space out only for him to scream and shout, jumping up and down with a smile on his face.

Hush was over joyed that day, which led him to now. He was currently 1 year old, he had two living parents with not-so-overpowered quirks.

His mom's quirk was called Whisper, which allowed her to connect to animals. Unlike Koda's quirk, his mom could send waves known as "whispers" to animals, allowing her to directly control their minds.

When Hush heard about this, a grin plastered on his face as he wondered if he would inherit her quirk.

His father however, had a quirk he called Copy-Cat, which allowed him to mimic the skills and abilities of anyone he sees. Although he could not mimic quirks, it still came in handy. He could only mimic skills he had seen for only 5 minutes after that it would ware off. In order to gain the skill again, he would have to watch the skill in action, again. Which to Hush, sounded kinda boring. But he never said anything, choosing to sound impressed at his father, who blushed at the compliment.

Now back at his situation, he had been trying to find his quirk but failing everytime. Although, he knew quirks usually manifested at around four years old he couldn't shake the fact of being...quirkless.

Which if he was, he would probably just let himself get crushed again.

"Come on Hush, I mean Haruma..." Hush rubbed the back of his head as he was still not used to his new name: Haruma Takahashi.

His mother's name was Chizuru Takahashi and his father's is Tatsuki Takahashi.

But back to the topic, Hush/Haruma couldn't help himself getting worried, but of course he can't let this get the better of him.

[ 2 years later ]

"Ok, whose ready for the zoo?" Hush's new dad asked cheerfully. Hush pretended to smile and acted excited. Making the man driving tear up.

"That's enough honey, we don't want any accidents now do we?" Hush's mom said, grabbing a paper towel and wiping the man's eyes. The man sucked in his runny nose and smiled brightly.

Hush couldn't care less about going to the zoo. Although he was starting to warm up to his new family, he still couldn't treat them as such. It might be because part of him is still stuck in the past, but of course he hoped he would move on.

His sour mood today was no help as he still hasn't manifested his quirk. He's already three years old, one year away from going to the clinic to be checked. The thought of being quirkless was now running rampant in his mind.

Although there was nothing wrong with being quirkless. However, being in a world dominated with quirks, not having one would basically be a crutch. And besides, why would he be here if he didn't have a quirk he would probably just kill himself again.

But still, Hush wasn't losing hope. He looked on to the front, seeing his new parents chatting and having fun. He grew fond of them, but it still wasn't enough.

Arriving at the zoo, the family entered the park carrying Hush in their arms. The boy in question looked on to see if he would find any of the future cast, but to his disappointment, they weren't here.

His parents felt their son's depressed tone and decided to go on to the rides. As they waited in the lines, his dad got a call and excused himself out. His mom and them were now standing in line when an all to familiar rumble shook.

Hush's eyes widened as his heart started to beat faster. Realizing her son's distress Chizuru tried to calm him down, but only to realize the sudden tremor. The crowd around them grew silent as one by one, pulses vibrated through the ground.

And just like that, all hell broke loose.

The gates came crashing down as a horde of animals busted through. The people were now frantically running away, with some calling for heroes to save them. Chizuru tried to grab her son only for her skin to turn pale when she found he was gone.

"Haru! Haru! Haru!" Hush's mom screamed frantically, pushing away the civilians running away.

Meanwhile, little old Hush found himself swept away by the human wave. He looked all around to find his mother, but he knew it was no use.

Was he truly cursed, or was he fated to die by animal stampede. Maybe the gods did hear his plea of killing himself, but did that mean he was quirkless?

Deciding not to be crushed—for now—he ran to the side and hid under a broken pillar. From there he could see the feet of the civilians running away from the stampede. He closed his eyes and waited for it all to end when a certain scream caught his attention.

Looking back, he could see a stroller out in the open, with a horde of zebras rushing it's way. Leaning forward, Hush's eyes shot open as a baby's scream came from the stroller.

Without a single thought hush jumped into the open, ignoring the screams of the people behind him. He ran pass the grassy plain not noticing his mother saw him.

"Haru! Get away from there!" His mother yelled, but it did not meet him. Everything else was a blur and all he could see was the stroller in front of him.

Running faster, he finally managed to grab on to it, seeing the distress look of the baby inside. Looking forward, the stampede was now seconds away from him. And in his mind, all he could remember was how zebra's fled from lions.

And just like that, a rush of power engulfed Hush's body as he could see a silvery mist covering him. The mist soon morphed, forming the silhouette of an animal.

As the mist began to move, it transformed into a ginormous lion. Bright glowing eyes, with a smoky mane, and a sliver body.

Hush stood inside the lion's body, his own body could be seen through the transparent lion. The civilians watched at the sight, the boy seemed to emanate the lion, his eyes glowing the same way as that creature.

As the lion took a step forward, it opened its jaws, and a resounding roar reverberated across the zoo. Every animal in the vicinity froze, along with the stampede of zebras.

As the lion towered, it watched over like a king amongst its subjects, and as it realized the animals were frozen, it disappeared. Transforming back into the silvery mist, and retreated back into Hush's body.

Hush had no idea what just happened as all he could feel was the rage and power of that lion. He collapsed to the ground and he could see his mother raising her hands at the zebras, causing them to fall asleep.

Chizuru ran to Hush, grabbing him into her embrace. Hush soon felt another set of hands arrived. It was his dad, whose face looked so worried. At that, Hush cried.

"Mom...Dad..." He said, before passing out.
