Chapter 100
Title: Hiding Behind Cloth…
….
As the Nomu’s flesh settled over in Kaminari’s body, his skin started turning yellow up to his elbow. He looked at his arm and tried to use <Overhaul> to reconstruct his skin.
But once again, it seemed unaffected and it was remade into yellow, at least it overtook the usual paleness on his hands. But Kaminari was surprised once again as he saw that the stitches in his wrists started to hurt and feel scratchy.
So he took one out and was surprised to see that the small stinching holes was slowly healing up. Not too fast, but it was still visible to the eye.
‘Amazing!! I have seen this countless times when it happened to the Nomu. But feeling it for myself is weird.’ Kaminari was enamored by this, and he doesn’t mind as blood hits the white shirt that he was wearing.
He does another small cut in his other hand to test if the regeneration spread through his whole body, and it did.
Sadly, he was left with yellow skin up to his elbow, so Kaminari had to cover the whole arm with bandages. ‘As long as no one notices then it won’t be a problem. Disfiguration? I don’t mind such things, after all, I have resolved myself for power, and as long as it doesn’t hinder me… disfigurement is but a small price to pay.
‘Plus it isn’t necessarily too bad as I can change my appearance with my Metamorphosis Quirk if I wanted to.’ Contemplated Kaminari, weighing the pros and cons of each of his moves.
….
At the same time, while Kaminari was doing his experiments, others were also doing their own.
In a dark room under Tartarus Prison, Doctor Garaki looked at his latest test subject with glee. Shigaraki was in a capsule and sleeping, it was truly something that he hadn’t seen in his life.
“Hahahaha!!” He laughed like a madman, “How peculiar!! Tomura, you will surpass even All For One with how strong you are getting!”
Shigaraki’s body convulsed slightly once he heard that, since he had been captured, Doctor Garaki had changed his identity and decided to do the experiments inside Tartarus Prison. No sane man would ever do something like this, it was all thanks to some Hypnosis and good old hacking against the cameras. Some bribes here and there and everyone looks the other way.
But Doctor Garaki played with his mustache as he thought of something else. “Denki Kaminari, that brat is too troublesome, the clones have proven to be ineffective and we no longer have access to his blood since I already used it all. Tch, what a troublesome brat… I will need to visit All For One’s cell, this is gonna be such a pain. The security there is tight as always.’
While the doctor had gotten some access to the prison, he knew the risks it had with just taking one step out of Shigaraki’s cell would get him instantly killed.
But before he could even think of escaping this prison and having a mass breakout from it. He knew that Kaminari had to go, the young man held too much power, both physically and mentally. As long as he existed then no one would ever fall to the villains, nor would they feel fear of them.
…
…
Two weeks passed and nothing big happened publicly, Kaminari was slowly fusing more and more with the Clone Nomu that had previously attacked him. Due to doing that he had gained the <Regeneration> Quirk and also <Minimap>… two amazing abilities. But due to all that, it put a very hard strain on his body so he had to use <Overhaul> on himself every other day as his bones, veins, heart, and lungs were regularly crushed and the body took quite a toll due to the Quirks.
Of course, this was all very hard on him, but for the cameras he always put on a happy face and smiled, being the image of power and health.
Due to now getting the <Minimap> Quirk, he had a constant map of everything around him in 360° and over 20 km. This reminded Kaminari of the Byakugan from Naruto, except that this Quirk offered quite the better range and had no blind spots.
He deduced that this must have been the reason why the Electric Nomu had been able to move at top speeds and still ‘see’ where he was going. This would also be useful to Kaminari as now he too didn’t need to hold back. Especially since his Hero Costume had been modified and now had a completely yellow bodysuit and face mask, though he still kept the easily retractable red cape just in case he had to fight against Quirks like Aizawa’s.
This was all done for a reason, to hide the iron sand that he covered his body in, mostly because of the friction as when Kaminari started moving at such high speeds. His body would melt off if he wasn’t careful.

-Izuku POV-
We were all having a little party and when I saw Kaminari’s hands which were now bandaged, I couldn’t help but still feel something nudging me at the back of my mind.
All Might had said that it was just the <Danger Sense> Quirk reacting, but why would it go haywire whenever I got close to Kaminari?
It felt like a prick on the back of my head, even the most dangerous villains that I met during my patrols… they felt nothing compared to him. All Might always said that <Danger Sense> was never wrong, and I haven’t told him about this. But I have started suspecting Kaminari about some things… if only I could look under his bandaged hands, then I would be more confident in him not being anything suspicious.
As I was thinking that, I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder, I looked at it and saw that it was a bandaged hand… Kaminari’s hand.
“Hello there, did you make any lemonade?” He asked me innocently with a smile on his face.
I didn’t know why, but Kaminari’s question for some reasons made my <Danger Sense> Quirk go crazy, it was as if someone smashed my skull with a hammer from the inside.
“Oy, Izuku, are you okay?” Asked Kaminari worryingly as I started breathing heavily and my heart felt like it wanted to jump off my c.h.e.s.t.
At that instant, the pain in my head stopped as if it never existed, to begin with. I looked up and Kaminari’s worried expression made me realize that I had fallen on the ground.
“Y -Yeah… I am okay…” I told him, trying to stand up nonchalantly, but failing at it. I couldn’t help it as my eyes wandered towards his bandages.
Like always, Kaminari was too sharp and noticed it. “Oh, don’t worry about these, it just seems like I keep hurting my hands lately.”
“Haven’t you gone to Recovery Lady?” I asked him with a serious look on my face.
He looked at me back calmly too, for a split second I swore that I saw something dark appear from Kaminari’s yellow eyes, but that must have been just my imagination…
“Hahaha, that would drain too much of my stamina.” Kaminari joked and that made me even more suspicious.
“Can I see your injured hands?” I blurted out without even thinking.

A/N: Things are heating up…
Oh yeah, I don’t know if I forgot to say this, but the story is finished on Patreòn.
