"Nobody's invincible," Farrin said, pulling his arms in just a touch.
The sky remained devoid of the sun's touch. Cold. Sleeping still. Sunrise should have passed by now. Farrin tugged his keepsake pocket watch out and thumbed it open. The sun's warmth was long past overdue.
"I see-"
A flash. A mass tugged his stomach inward. Farrin's eyes slammed shut. Blood was drawn as his teeth dug into the insides of his lips, pinning his mouth shut.
"I see things," he admitted, a facet of his quirk few knew existed.
A moment of weakness. Zero to one-fifty in a blink, sifting churned his brain, thoughts, and mind.
They're in a classroom. Farrin's back a few seats, but he sees her. His pink and perfect dragon bathed in light, breaking through the window. SuperNova, one of the academy's more renowned pro-hero professors, is reviewing group tactics and strategy, but Farrin can't pay attention. His eyes belong entirely to her. His Sada. His heart, too. He was so sure the universe was devoid of a higher power. Then he met her. Now? Well, maybe there was something to faith. Because how could he have deserved her? How could existence itself deserver her?
There was another pink-haired person, though. This one not quite as familiar to Farrin, but familiar enough. He was getting up out of his seat. SuperNova's voice boomed, calling on Farrin.
"So, young Mr. O'Rourke, what would you do given a hostage situation such as this."
Farrin's attention was pulled away for a moment, drawn to a board decorated in Xs and Os, marking criminals and allied authorities, respectively. "Well-ugh, SuperNova sir, I think I'd-" but before he could finish, even in this sifting world, he heard her scream. It was him again, and this time he hurt Sada. Shion stood beside Sada's desk, a pen sticking out of his love's eye. Not a word. Not a passing moment. Farrin was in his seat one moment, then atop the other boy the next, his fist pulled back and ready to break bone.
The moment passed, and Farrin was back in the world of the real. He was standing now, both fists tightly bound by his side. A scowl locked over his lips, his breath heavy and mean but slowed.
"I see things," he finally continued, "due ta' me quirk. Things that could happen. Dey're no' always nice things." His words weighed tons. Not quite threatening, but on the verge of. "Things like who we could be, what could happen, if we made da wrong choices. Selfish choices. Dun' make selfish choices, Shion," he said. He hadn't recalled the lad's name but spun his own web with time's threads and forced himself back to the night on the yacht. Another moment, Farrin felt this growing pain inside of him, this weakness.
"Our choices shape us, dey define us, so we must choose well."
S
he died. She died. She died. Then there was no one left. It was him. For years, it was him against himself, the things he saw. The others. They tried to take advantage of him- of what he could do. There were a few that stood out. Someone who tried to stay by his side, but then she disappeared. He fell into the muck. Only his visions pulled him out. He changed. He flew. He met an angel, and now she was gone too. Again, he was against himself, and that haunted his dreams. And it all started when his mum died."Nobody's invincible," Farrin said, pulling his arms in just a touch.
