Experimenting

As I got home, I noticed a note on my bedroom desk. Since the kidnapping, a day hasn't even passed. The note stated I was to meet Stain at Hosu in a few hours. My Mom has already fallen to sleep, I am tired as well.

[When the hell am I supposed to sleep...]

I tried to reactivate my quirk, I had the feeling of it memorized, however when I tried to replicate it, it was far from as overwhelming than before... I couldn't even bring out a quarter of what I did before. Why? I tried to think back to the moment I was captured, the feeling of helplessness and anger.. what was it in that situation that made my quirk so strong?

As I reflected more and more, my mind started to drift off... to the phone call, the hatred I felt. Suddenly a massive surge of energy from my quirk appeared.. Anger? Disappointment? Fear? Were the things that fueled my quirk, negative emotions? To think All for one gave me a quirk specifically for my hatred...

As time passes I try a range of things with my quirk... I can manipulate the shadows to a certain extent. But what can I do with them other than that? The shadows are quiet, I'm at a loss. There's not much time before meeting with Stain. As I start to lose patience I fall to the ground in defeat. As I touched the ground, the floor engulfed with my shadow, my hand seemingly slid into it. I pull my hand back out not knowing what happened, it was completely fine.

I try to test the waters by putting my body further and further inside the shadows. It seems it doesn't affect my body. As I come to that realization I put my head into the shadows, as soon as I do it feels like I'm suffocating. Feelings of regret, anguish and pain intensifies, it also felt like I am underwater, I couldn't breathe at all. I take my head back out to grab some air. As soon as I'm ready I go into the shadows entirely. As I step inside, the void like realm appears to be a dark purple color, I look at the ground and its almost like a reflection of my room that I am standing on. Where I stand its like I'm standing on the opposite side of an Icy lake, beneath the water. I cant breath and there are ponds of water everywhere where I can enter and exit and I am standing on the ice. I try to move, as soon as I try, I am hit with an overwhelming pressure.

Each step makes the intensity of the void even more apparent, more negative feelings flooded my mind as I start feeling sorrow and anguish, that wasn't my own. After a while it feels like my mind is about to break under the apparent pressure. I quickly walk out through one of the ponds. My entire body is suffering under the strain of the pressure as I quickly leave. I end up in the normal world, its the same as the void except much brighter, the locations match as well. Its as if I walked to my desk in the void, I would be appear next to my desk in the normal world.

*Isn't this too strong?* I think to myself. As I do so, an overwhelming pain enters my entire being...

*What the Hell?* *HUE HUH HAAA HA* As I drop to my knees vigorously coughing out of breath and gasping for air, this continues for a while as it feels like theirs no air in my lungs for more than a minute, all the time I spent in the void realm was reflected as I left. As soon as I recover I went to test something.

I took a sketch pencil from my desk and entered the void, not trying to move around as I'd probably feel the pressure again. I put the pencil on the icy spots where its just a flat surface. I leave the void and re-enter from another location, a distance away from where I put the pencil. As I enter it again, the pencil appears right where I stand...

[It moved, to where I am? Interesting... Wait, doesn't this mean that no matter where I enter and exit, it will be right next to me? Invisible storage?!?] I say as I mutter to myself.

*Wouldn't this negate bringing my equipment around with me? I could just take anything I want and put it in the void...*

Was All for one even aware of this? I don't think he would have given this to me if he knew...

*So this quirk... It has portable storage... Shadow manipulation and Soul manifestations...*

This quirk is much stronger than Katsuki's... Although if my shadows are affected by light, his explosions would really screw me over.... But still... As the realizations sets in... I finally have a quirk. Something to call my own, I wont be treated or bullied as worthless anymore.. Oh wait, if I reveal I have a quirk that's just gonna make everything more complicated... I should keep it hidden, they also wont suspect me when I do become a full fledged villain. Without realizing it my thoughts of 'If' or 'maybe' turned into 'will' Much like when I wanted to become a hero... I have no thoughts other than becoming a villain, is it because I realized I cant become a hero or because heroes are the thing ruining this world?

As I get trapped in my own head thinking about all the possibilities of my new quirk, I notice the time... Oh crap I'm gonna be late, I quickly grab all my equipment and throw them into the void as I rush to the train station. I rush to where I meet up with Stain as he looks at me with a scowl on his face.

[You're late.]

[Uh... Yeah. Sorry...]

[Where is your equipment.]

Ah... I forgot to take it out of the shadow, I guess he will find out eventually. I trust him enough, hes the reason I got this quirk in the first place. As its night, everything is shadowed in darkness. I reach into the ground, my arm entering the void as I grab my support gear.

[Interesting.. That's the quirk you were given?]

[Yes. My quirk is shadow manipulation, I can bend shadows to my will and enter a shadow like world.]

[... Suitable.] Is that all hes going to say about it?

[I'd thought you would be more surprised.]

[You went through a week of torture. If you nothing... There would be hell to pay.]

... He actually gives of a father figure vibe... I'd never say that out loud as I don't want my neck slit open.

[What are we going to be doing?]

[... Hero Hunting.]
