For your Powers AU, what if Hope's Peak found out Makoto couldn't die and performed secret, illegal, unethical experiments on him (like his own Kamukura Project)?
1) the kamukura project DOES still exist!
2) that’s his purpose baybee!! after they figure out what his power is they do NOTHING but run experiments on him, seeing what the farthest thing he can recover from is. that’s how they know he can survive full cremation. they also experiment on the other students in the guise of “training them to be the best heroes they can be”. forcing taka to use his powers, putting kyouko in more and more intensely stimulating situations that force her to strain her senses, literally just throwing things at chihiro/exposing her to explosions to make her use her powers in reflex, seeing how far they can push the boundaries of miu’s heat tolerance, making rantaro teleport bigger and bigger things farther and farther distances until he’s exhausted. it’s uh. not very fun, but it’s “necessary training”.
