If you ever asked Izuku about what sparked the situation he would, without hesitation, tell you it was his fault. It always was, really -- he was the one pushing his limits in ways he shouldn't, and the one without any care for his health or safety. He was always, in the end, gonna be that crazy kid breaking his bones at any given chance. Hell, before he became a cat, that'd practically been his fighting style. He'd just sort of -- break his bones till something happened. Izuku had become more diligent with his health since becoming a cat, though -- he didn't have access to surgery or recovery girl or even modern medicine. Whatever he did to his body he'd have to live with. Izuku -- despite his recklessness, he didn't want to cripple himself. He wanted to be a hero, a protector, and while he didn't need to be those things anymore, that didn't mean he wasn't gonna try in little ways. He needed to be at his best to ever be good. Even if he -- neglected himself, he wasn't completely careless. Besides, he was a Tenderfoot, and Jacob had enough on his hands, Izuku wasn't going to risk anything for either of them.
However ... he wanted to be stronger. He still couldn't train physically, couldn't put himself through a training regime as tough as All Might's had, or even on the UA scale. He was still injured, after all, and if he got that careless he might rip open his injuries all over again, but they were so close to being healed, he didn't want to wait anymore. However -- his electricity wasn't that awful, only required exhaustion and strain and headaches. Nothing truly physical. He'd asked Aizawa to help him, a while back, but largely Izuku was doing it on his own. Which, of course, had it's own risks, but Izuku thinks he knows enough about quirks from all his analysis to get him far enough. And so far, it had! He'd gotten better at controlling it, slowly, but it was something!
And so, that leads to what happens during this day of training. Tucked away in a little corner of the territory, where bright flashing lights are unlikely to catch the humans' attention, Izuku stands, electricity crackling down his pelt. His electricity has -- always made him weirdly uneasy. Something niggling in the back of his head, a memory long suppressed. Izuku didn't ever touch it -- whatever it was, it scared him, burning and painful. Like how using it feels now -- just under the surface, it burns to use, but Izuku presses on anyways. No pain, no gain.
... The electricity was a spin-off of One for All, wasn't it? The only thing truly left over from it. Currently, the electricity was spread throughout his body, like Full Cowl would be. But what if ... he tried to use it, like how he had during his first few tries with his quirk? Risky, of course, but it might get a power boost, wouldn't it? So, slowly, Izuku urges the surges into one specific area. His right paw, specifically -- the same paw that was scarred so badly from previous uses. And, slowly, Izuku sees only powerful arcs coming from his leg. The rest of his fur stands on end, charge-less. And it burns, painful, but it worked. So, slowly, Izuku grins. It wasn't as immediately damning as One for All had been, at least not right now, but it was still strong. ... Strong. His head ... hurts. He can see ... blackened pink flesh and arcs of electricity and --
Izuku's paws brush against the tiger's chest as he launches himself. The fur blackens around them almost instantly, singed and burning, the crackles of power arcing and she yelps. Really yelps, as though it hurts already. And Izuku's heart begins to ... sink. The rest of her fur is starting to stand on end, and Izuku just doesn't understand. His power had never involved electricity, so why ...?
He doesn't have time to think about it, as he's already curled around the tiger. His claws sink into the back of her neck and hind claws scrabbling against her shoulder, pressed fullbody into her pelt. And she screams. Under him -- he's not sure, it's all smouldering and pink and it's burning.. It's another moment, as her screams grow louder, until Izuku drops, like he touched a hot stove. Because he doesn't understand, doesn't understand at all, what was understanding, or why she'd attacked him or why he was a cat or why it was all burning. He scrambles away, eyes wide and teary, and then he sees. Her flesh, all along where he'd touched her, and maybe even beyond there, was blackened and gouged and pink. So pink, and bloody, and he did this. He did this, he did this, oh god, what --
"What the [i]fuck!!" She screams at him, and Izuku's head is pounding. And, in the next instant, confused and terrified beyond reason, he's gone. (he didn't mean to, he didn't mean to, he didn't mean to --)[/i]
He didn't mean to.So distracted by the memory, he hadn't been regulating his power input, and perhaps, even if he had, he wouldn't have any control, anyways. He's just -- scared, terrified. He didn't mean to. His electricity, which had saved his life on so many occasions, had done that, and it feels dirty and scary and oh god. So, his paw, still strong and sparking, explodes. Izuku doesn't even have time to pull his thoughts together before, in the next moment, he is no longer on the ground and his leg is burning. It's like -- all those times he broke his limbs using one for all, but he didn't have an adrenaline to back him up, and the burning is just so much different and it hurts. The world is spinning and his head hurts so much, from a simple headache to a full-blown migraine, all thanks to the explosion of light. He can't focus. Oh god, he'd made a mistake, and he's scared.
In another moment, Izuku lands in the thin snow with a [i]plop.[/i] He whimpers, feeling the cold against his limb, his leg, and it burns and can he feel at all? He's shaking, fur on end and it's not just his leg, his entire leg, that is burning, but the inside of his other paw and ... some other places, he supposes. His breath is ragged. Oh god, oh god, what does he do? He's at least conscious this time, and he can treat himself, right? Even with just one paw? How was his paw even doing?
Izuku's breathing heavy as, slowly, he shifts his weight and opens his eyes. Then squeezes them shut again. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. But he -- he needs to see. He cracks them open again, squinting against the bright white of the snow, panting. It's hard to make out, blurred and hard to register anything at all but his paw is just so wrong. The fur has been burned away, and it's all gouged and blackened and -- red, pink? He's not sure. He's not sure. Oh god. Herbs? What herbs does he use for something like this? Oh god Izuku isn't sure. Wash it off? Marigold? But what about everything else? His other paw's claws curl into the snow as he wheezes, trying to work up the strength to pull himself up but he feels so shaky and it just -- burns. Had his electricity always had that sort of strength? Izuku wouldn't know. He suspects he'd been mostly immune to it, though, but not ... all of the way, hence the burning. And then, with that last burst, it'd just ... been unable to hold up against the strength. ... Like One for All, then. God, what did he expect.
... He could wait. He could wait for help or until he feels okay enough to treat himself. So, it's with a shaky sob that Izuku curls around himself, breathing heavy. It'll be fine. It hurts, it hurts so bad, but Izuku's had worse and it's not ... it's not life threatening. He'll be fine. It'll be fine.
//WHATS UP YAALL ITS THE HELL INJURY/200 POST THREAD!!!
injuries; his entire right paw and leg is just kind of,,,, hell. badly burned, all the fur has been singed off just up to the shoulder. basically its bad enough that ud consider amputation but itll be Okay. he'll just have a limp?? among other things asfsaf. his other paws have some burns too, especially on the inside left paw/leg. some other scattered burns, mostly around the front half asfsdf.
