What doesn't kill us makes us stronger guys
So working with what Hori gives us
No tgck? Okay, I'll play with the reincarnation idea instead
1. Ochako starts her quirk counseling program. She's so nervous but determined at the same time. She actually tries to do some work herself despite not having the qualification, and difficult children do open up to her somewhat. A young, bright heroine, and she's so understanding too! She doesn't see them as monsters, and her smile is so pretty...
A few cases go well, not without issues, but it's still good for a start.
She can't participate in every single case, but having a free day has her wandering the streets to clear her thoughts a bit.
And there she stands.
This girl, she doesn't look older than 5 years, a pair of uncanny yellow eyes peering up with a smile of blood-stained teeth. Her fingers are so small, stained with mud and blood too.
"Ne, ne, oneechan, do I look cute?~"
2. Or we can just accept izuocha and give our girl the best fucking parents ever. It's not about ships, it's about Himiko having two people she loves giving her pure, unconditional love she hasn't got in her previous life.
I wish I could have izuocha as my parents too okay???
3. Ochako often takes unfamiliar routes when returning home from work. It's actually fun, and also gives her an opportunity to survey the city for future patrols.
She notices a black cat starts following her one day.
Each day it seems to magically know where she'll be.
It looks so tired and weak, Ochako's heart clenches. She stops and tries to pet it once. It's fur is a bit coarse from the filth and dust of the streets, but it accepts her pets ao eagerly. But then it bites her, and runs away, clearly freaked out. Ochako isn't mad, but...
... can cats actually feel guilty?
The cat comes to seat near her house sometimes, leaves some birds it hunts as trophies. Ochako nearly gags the first time, but praises her furry friend anyway. It's just instincts, how can she blame it?
The kitty only lets Ochako feed her if her human lets her gnaw on her fingers and lap up the welling blood afterwards.
the amount of research that goes into fanfic.... i'm drowning over here. so for context I'm a baby marvel fan (*cough* spidey obsessed transgender *cough*) who recently regressed back into their supercorp phase and am writing for them. so now i'm a fetus dc fan. and i was not expecting gathering background knowledge to be This Hard. even trying to figure out where my characters are on a map. i thought metropolis was new york and gotham was chicago. and then my friend informs me that they thought gotham was new york. and then I found out neither were new york, but in fact somewhere in jersey (or i think metropolis is deleware?) so. national city as I remember it (as someone whose experience was limited to supergirl s1 and s2) was los angeles. but some people were saying san diego. and my favorite author recently put it in dc (the city). which i loved btw. i have decided that national city is los angeles for my peace of mind (you can't introduce cat grant over stock video of the 405 and tell me kara lives somewhere else) (shut up orange county; no one asked).
now i just have to figure out the complexities of the bat family....
