Has anybody been having problems with their Qu-- powers not working?

[He is trying very, very hard to make this sound like perfectly ordinary curiosity. Unfortunately for him, he's not doing a very good job at it today; the question comes out in a rush, and there's a raised pitch to his voice. Izuku is Not Fine right now and even he can't hide it.]

If so, has it started working again? Or been an...an intermittent thing?

[It can't be permanent. Right?]

If not them, or someone else, then is it possible it could be dormant? Is there some way you know of to check? It's not as easy as a DNA test.

[Which isn't easy.]

[heroondecku]

it feels different from that
like there's nothing there
I don't know if that makes sense

[To him it doesn't, his quirk was carved into his body from day one waiting to manifest when he was older... but Izuku?

In the mean time, he's going to keep talking to Izuku, keep him going as much as he can so that he doesn't panic. Doesn't spiral out. The three messages come in quick succession.]

I'm thirty minutes out, I'm on my way back.
If it has, if it's true it's gone.
We'll work it out, we'll find out why and how to help you get it back.

[...oh. He's probably ruined Todoroki's day, freaking out in public like this. And Kacchan's, and who knows who else.]

not at the house
told Kacchan where I am, he's coming here now
don't know when we'll be back


I'm sorry

[heir_conditioned]

[Right, he forgot that Bakugo is there. It doesn't stop him from wanting to pick up to go 'there', but it does stop him.]

I'll wait at home and I don't want to hear sorry. You don't have anything to be sorry for. We can talk later.
