Chapter Text

Midoriya Izuku has not slept. He does not need to either. The amount of caffeine running through his veins will make sure that he can stay awake. He just needs to finish this.

He could not stop now.

Because something Overhaul had said had made Izuku pause. 

Quirks were a disease spread by rats.

Rats!? 

What sort of nonsense was that!? 

Quirks were obviously from ghosts. 

Anyone who had done even basic research on quirks could see that.

Because a simple disease or even the evolution of mankind could not explain the appearance of certain quirks.

It could not explain how Uraraka could nullify gravity with a touch. How Bakugou could sweat nitroglycerin and not be poisoned by it. How Tokoyami's quirk could be sentient.

It did not explain All for One.

If quirks were another bodily function how could they be stolen? It wasn't something as simple as taking an organ. In the case of Ragdolls quirk - search - was caused by some sort of mutation in her brain. Whether that meant she had an extra appendage in her brain or some sort of chemical that normally did not exist in the brain, her quirk should not be able to be stolen.

And if it had been it should have left her brain dead or in a comatose state.

All for One should not have been able to use Ragdoll's quirk unless he changed the physical way his brain functioned. He should only be able to copy the genetic mutation and not take it from another person.

Unless quirks existed completely autonomously from the rest of the body.

Unless quirks were actually powered by something else.

Such as ghosts.

He just needed to lay it out in a way that made it simple for people to understand.


"Todoroki can I show you a powerpoint I made?"
