Chapter 65

Title: Change...

….

-Nighteye POV-

Seeing Mirio in front of me, using his Quirk all well once more made my heart stop. He should have lost his ability to use it, that is what I saw in the future after checking….

Heh, it seems like Kaminari has twisted it again. But can he do the same with his own future? His inevitable fate of a gruesome death. Can he change that one?

….

Ah… it seems like he has changed my fate too…

Those are the only thoughts that run through my head as I see him heroically standing atop Overhaul's unconscious body with its missing hands.

He turns towards me and gives me a smile and thumbs up, always so perceptive that makes it seem like he can read minds. Well, I wouldn't be surprised if he knew what I was thinking.

Aizawa instantly activates his Quirk on Overhaul and shakes his head. "He is unconscious for real."

My face twitches slightly, I can't help it as a smirk appears on my face. Everything has gone perfectly, our side has zero casualties. So I give my thumbs up to Kaminari. That kid… maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have him as the new Symbol of Peace. Izuku is impressive, but when compared, maybe it's time for One For All to take a rest in being the Symbol of Peace this generation. 

…

-General POV-

Kaminari clears everything up and gives his report of the events to the police. Of course, it was heavily filtered and what he said is technically the truth, so even lie detection Quirks wouldn't work.

"So yeah, Overhaul got this new fusion with his subordinate. The poor guy was killed by his boss when they fused, the other guy also was killed by some part of the building piercing his head. I had no choice but to be harsh on him, or else I know that people would have died." Kaminari had a difficult look on his face as he explained it. "And… I had to use lethal force."

The detectives nod at this as they get the general idea of the situation. Kaminari is also speaking clearly, so unless he planned this weeks in advance, he wouldn't know how to make a situation up… unless his Quirk was future sight, which isn't. 

Plus the detectives aren't here to investigate him, he is  Hero, so all the deaths that happened here are put on Overhaul. 

'Hmm… people want to always change the system. Never planning to use it themselves, never understanding that there is no perfect system. Overhaul will be charged with the murders that I have committed. There won't even be an investigation on their deaths. Why? Because it isn't needed, someone doesn't blame the Hero for villainous actions. There are plenty of scapegoats.' Thinks Kaminari, a proportional smile makes it upon his face as he thinks of this.

….

In another place, Tomura is in a dark room when he gets a call from an old-style phone. Spinner is there with him.

"Hello." He picks up the phone.

*sob* "Twice… Dabi… *sob* they are both dead…" Toga's sobbing voice comes through. Immediately, both Tomura and Spinner feel a heaviness settle over their heart.

That is also when Compress comes in. "Boss, the escort of Overhaul is filled with guards. We won't be able to even put a hand on him."

"Call Kurogiri and order him to come back here." Says Tomura, scratching his neck raw in nervousness.

….

But at this time in a forest, Gran Torino has his foot down on the black mass of gas. 

"Heh, it seems like we finally caught a troublesome fellow like you." Says Gran Torino. "All thanks to some eyewitnesses."

"Tch, I wasn't careful enough." Says Kurogiri, but his voice was still calm. "Though it doesn't matter since the master has already seen this future… and has prepared his strongest weapon."

Gran Torino frowns at this. 'All For One… what are you planning next?'

…

…

The news about Overhaul passes through all of Japan, the Hero Flash becomes a household name. Especially when people dig a little into his past and see two times when All Might recognized him as his successor.

…

But while this was all happening Kaminari has returned to the dorms now. Kirishima, Izuku, Ochako, and Asui are accompanying him.

As soon as they enter, all hell breaks loose.

"You guys are alright!!" Exclaims Mina in joy.

"We saw it on the news!" 

"Everyone was worried."

"I am glad you are all okay?"

"Wait, are they really okay?"

"Ochako! Tsuyu!" Toru comes and hugs both of her friends, wrapping her invisible arms around them.

"EVERYONE!!" Yells out Tenya. "I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WORRIED BUT WE NEED TO CALM DOWN!!!"

Ironically, he was the one making the most noise and yelling the loudest.

But Kaminari didn't pay attention to any of this and instead looked straight at Momo. "I told you I would be okay."

She smiles slightly at this and blushes. "I -I am going to make some herbal tea for everyone!"

Satou (Quirk: Sugar Rush) tries to force a cake down Izuku's throat. "Here, eat some chocolate cake, it will make you feel better."

Then Mina comes with a rabbit and puts it in Kaminari's hands. "Here, this will help you feel better."

He stops for a second as he sees this and his mask slips. 'Ah… these people really care about me.'

And for the first time in a while, a true smile appears on Kaminari's face. "..."

Mina stops on her tracks for a second. Feeling a strange feeling on her chest as she looks at Kaminari's smile. She can't tell what it is, but to her, who has known him for so long, she somehow feels like this smile of his is one that she hasn't seen before… though on the outside it is all the same.

He just pets the rabbit and looks at Kouda (Quirk: Animal Control). "This rabbit is cute, does it have a name?"

"No." Shyly answers Kouda.

"Heh, then I guess I will call him Rabitty the rabbit from now on." Says Kaminari, unable to wipe the smile off his face.

Everyone stops in their tracks at this. 

"Oh, right… Kaminari always has had a bad naming sense." Says Mina, making everyone laugh at that.

Kaminari smiles with them too. "Well what can I say, I always use the KISS method when I make up names, it means Keep It Simple, Stupid."

"What about the method that you get girls with?" Asks Mineta with drool coming out of his mouth.

"Hm?" Kaminari looks at the little guy and shrugs. "I dunno, I just usually say what is on my mind and say it straight. Also, I don't think you should get advice on girls from me, I have never been popular with them."

Mineta goes to cry in the corner once he hears that. He even keeps muttering. "Damn it, he is a natural-born womanizer!"

Kaminari though doesn't pay any attention to him anymore. He looks at Bakugo who is in the corner and with a smirk on his face calls out to him.  "Hey~ Katchan~"

"Don't call me that Sparky!!" He becomes annoyed at this. Though he has started getting calmer externally during battles. He still appears angry most of the time normally.

"Hahahaha, c'mon now, I know that you were worried about us."

"I am going to bed."

"So early? You a grandpa or something?" Kaminari makes jokes like this as he sees Bakugo go to his room while flipping him off.

Eijiro waves at the explosion boy too. Sero (Quirk: Tape) then has an arm around Kirishima's shoulders. "I have heard about you guys all over the news. It was an extremely successful raid on the Yakuza. Also, they just can't stop talking about Kaminari, it really becomes annoying. Plus, they have started making wild claims by some anonymous tips, like Kaminari being born a genius Hero when he was two he had already awakened his Quirk and such."

*cough* The "anonymous" tip giver coughs in his hand as he uses his Quirk to speed up his thoughts with electricity. 'Damn, it's kinda embarrassing when I hear someone say compliments to me.'

…

…

…

Just like so, September passes and October comes around… the students study hard, and Kaminari, like always,  pushes himself that extra mile, acing every exam that he took part on.

Midoriya and the others continued their Hero Work-Studies like usual, while Kaminari took his Work-Studies under Aizawa, going out on night patrols with him and learning everything that he can about stealth.

Eventually, like always, the Overhaul news died down and Kaminari could walk outside normally in daylight, without the journalists bothering him.

But at the same time, he started noticing something else about himself too. For the first time that he has come to this world… he doesn't feel that paranoia in changing things anymore. So he has truly started to enjoy himself now...

That is when he takes out his phone and looks at the news, the front page which looks more like a McD*nald flier. But what had Kaminari's attention was the silver-haired lookalike at the front of the ad. 

The news was of a person who looks like the Hero Flash, and that he works at a fast food place.

'I should pay him a visit.' 

....

A/N: We see from Nighteye's view that people look differently at the MC. Also he is starting to smile for real, not because of some hidden motive.
