Midoriya Izuku laid on a rock hard bed, constricted by chains, he was unable to move, Izuku trembled in fear, awaiting for the so called "play time" with Hisashi. The white walls were covered with blood and different sorts of "toys" laid on a metal tray on a table.
Izuku only waited
and waited as he uncontrollably trembled
and finally.
The door creaked open, a grown man with short black hair stepped in the cold concrete floor with brown leather shoes. The tension of the room increasing as the man in formal attire stepped towards Izuku. A maniac grin spread on the man's face, he finally said slowly.
"So... Shall we begin our fun time? Izuku."
There was a moment of uncomfortable silence until ear piercing screams echoed through the hallway of the underground laboratory as Hisashi slowly stab a knife covered in green liquid in Izuku's thigh. Hisashi was laughing uncontrollably in the most disturbing way. Izuku only screamed and screamed.
And wished.
Izuku wished and wished his screams would reach someone, he wished that heroes would come and save him, he wished that someone could pull him out of this endless trail of torture and so he screamed.
Even though deep down he knew nobody would hear him, he knew that it was all just his imagination, he knew it and he hated it, he hated how nobody ever came, he hated how nobody would drag him out of this endless loop of pain, he hated everything, he just want it to end.
Izuku's thoughts were interrupted as Hisashi stabbed another knife soaked with purple liquid in his other thigh slow and steadily Hisashi was laughing maniacally, Izuku didn't like how Hisashi always seems to enjoy seeing his pain, didn't like how Hisashi's eyes flared though him with thirst of his blood, didn't like Hisashi's creepy laughs, didn't like how Hisashi would treat him as if he was some lifeless toy.
More blood curling screams flowed in the air.
It only stopped after an hour.
Izuku was left breathless on the bed, the chains no longer holding his freedom. He gasped repeatedly for air, Hisashi whispered into Izuku's ear with a low voice.
"I have got to go... Farewell My little Izuku."
My little Izuku rang once again in Izuku's mind, sending shivers down his spine as he watches the man leave, slowly disappearing out of his sight.
Izuku leaned towards the wall and walked to the hallway, he made his way to his favourite place of the laboratory, The library.
Izuku was smart, he was extremely smart for a 9 years old, he had read all the books in the two-storey library at least thrice. He didnt know if he was considered "smart", he didn't know the definition of "normal" as a 9 years old.
There was a librarian, she was a kind woman, Izuku liked her, her name is Inko, she would bring new books in the library every once in a while, she had told Izuku the history of this laboratory briefly. She said that the laboratory was originally filled with young aspiring scientists, Hisashi was their teacher, he was a kind and caring man, according to Inko an "incident" came up one day and it changed Hisashi into a crazy mad scientist, Inko herself claimed that she wasn't sure of the reason. Izuku always thought she was lying knowing that Inko was married to Hisashi, he thought there was no way that Inko didnt know about the details, however he never bring himself to pry because Inko's expression would always sadden when she talks about Hisashi, Izuku liked Inko, so he didn't want to upset her, he wanted Inko to be happy.
"Oh my god, Izuku sweetheart what happened to you!"
Inko couldn't help but exclaimed in fear as she saw Izuku's limping form and blood drippling from his thighs. Izuku stayed silent as Inko carefully supported Izuku and brought him to a nearby sofa in the library. She settled Izuku on the sofa. Izuku leaned on the sofa, showing obvious exhaustion, Inko didnt asked further about what happened as she knew it must be one of Hisashi's "play time" again.
"I-inko-san I feel dizzy... I think it might be the side effects of the medicine.."
Izuku managed to mutter the words out softly. Inko's showed a worried expression.
( A/N Inko will have a powerful healing Quirk in this fanfiction please dont mind too much. Thank you)
Inko-san sent words of care as she used her quirk on Izuku, immediately Izuku felt a lot better, he allowed himself mumble out a soft "Thank you" barely holding himself together. Inko only showed a small soft smile hinting obvious sadness in her eyes and she observed Izuku's exhausted form.
When Izuku's breath became even again, Inko brought a story book into Izuku's sight, Izuku's emerald green eyes observed the book with curiosity, Inko finally spoke.
"Izuku, I bought a new book yesterday, this is a story called 'A nine years old's daily', I thought you might be interested in how this as.. you know..."
Inko trailed off as she complete the sentence with an unaudible voice, however Izuku has fully understood what Inko meant, he was grateful for the story book, he always wanted to know about how kids around his age acted and what they would do every day. He received the book with two hands and bowed at Inko as a sign of respect. Izuku allowed himself to drift into the new story book and Inko only chuckled warmly and walked off, leaving Izuku in his very own world of imagination.
The book was.. amusing, Izuku for once learnt the definition of "normal" and he learnt 9 years old kids are often out there hanging out with friends and they had to go to school, but most importantly they were happy, they weren't broken, they weren't stuck in an endless loop of pain.
That was also the time Izuku learnt for the fact that he is "abnormal".
Oddly enough,
He felt... Anger
he was angry he couldn't be normal, he was angry that Hisashi ruined him, broke him forever, he was angry nobody had ever came to his rescue, he was angry at how powerless he always was.
Rage was boiling through Izuku.
Unknowingly a voice whispered to Izuku.
It is his fault It is his fault
Hisashi Hisashi Hisashi
Izuku clenched his fists
It is his fault
it is his fucking fault!
Izuku gritted his teeth.
Revenge
Revenge
Revenge Reveng Revenge!!!
Kill him kill him kill him... Kill him
KILL HIM!!
Izuku was snapped out of his anger and his eyes shot up to Inko when he heard Inko's sweet voice.
"Izuku~ How do you like the book?"
Izuku went silent, he was just exhausted. He was just tired. He just wanted everything to end. He wished for nothing more.
Under Inko's worried glance, Izuku replied with a quiet voice.
"It is ... nice"
Inko smiled warmly again, contented with the answer Inko walked off again.
Izuku decided he was exhausted, more than ever, he allowed himself to drift into dreamland.
In another random room in the laboratory.
"Hisashi! I don't understand! Why are you doing this!"
Inko screamed at her husband with clear tears brimming in her eyes. Hisashi who is currently working on a new project didn't even spare Inko a glance. He only replied coldly.
"Mind your own business, Inko."
Inko, frustrated, didnt give up easily, she only tried even harder.
"But that poor boy Izuku! He doesn't deserve this! Hisashi you have traumatized that poor boy! He doesn't even smile anymore! What is wrong with you, the man I married wasn't this cold-hearted and cruel!!"
Hisashi irritated, finally snapped and shouted at Inko.
"Shut up you bitch!! LEAVE ME ALONE! Who do you think you even are?? You have no place to tell ME what to do!"
Inko was not intimated in the slightest bit she continued to protest against the man's nonsense, she refused to give in.
"I AM JUST TELL YOU WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU! IZUKU DOESN'T DESERVE THI-"
Hisashi only interrupted Inko not with another sentence, but a knife stabbed in her stomach.
He whispered roughly in her ears.
"Good night Inko."
Short and simple.
Inko was left wordless, unable to speak, she was in shock, she choked out more blood before falling in darkness.
Back in the library
In Izuku's dream.
Hisashi was seen holding a knife, it wasn't covered with any sorts of chemical this time it was just a knife, Izuku was only 7 years old that time Hisashi leaned towards Izuku, with a low faint laugh, he cracked a smile.
"Let's try something a bit different today Izuku..."
Inko was there too restricted by chains on a wall it was her mission to heal Izuku after the experiment as stated by Hisashi. She was muted by a metal mask, completely powerless as she watched the experiment in fear.
Izuku was confused, confused and scared, something "new" was never something good Hisashi looked a bit more crazed then usual, izuku attempted to squint his eye shut only for his right eye to be forcefully pull open.
Hisashi was laughing he carefully aim the knife in Izuku's left eye and rapidly stabbed the knife in his eye, pulling the eyeball out as blood came pouring out madly, the organs behind the eye was cut off , Izuku screamed louder than he ever did after two seconds Izuku immediately fainted. Hisashi put his eyeball in a glass-container, the chains released Inko, she immediately healed Izuku, and Hisashi had quietly disappeared as Inko was distracted healing Izuku.
Izuku shot awake from his sleep, he breathed heavily, his eyes darted around, searching for Inko, the green haired woman was nowhere to be seen. Izuku had assumed that Inko went out somewhere to get some food or stuff.
The boy unaware of Inko's death took slow steps towards the book shelf, ready to read more books before the door was violently swung open.
There stood Hisashi, he had a pissed expression. Izuku visibly flinched at the sight of an angry Hisashi. Hisashi rarely came to the library, every time he came here it wouldn't be anything good, Izuku stayed silent and waited for Hisashi to speak.
The news hit Izuku like a truck
"I killed Inko."
Izuku froze. Wordless, he was in pure shock.
Inko-san... No no this can't be
Inko-san
Inko-san
Izuku thought of how Inko would comfort him and how excited she would be, beaming with joy when she gets a new book for Izuku.
Poor Izuku couldn't move, it wasn't long until the voice came in again.
It started faintly but eventually got louder and louder, covering his own thoughts and overcoming Hisashi's stupid comments.
Revenge
Revenge
Revenge
Revenge
For Inko
Inko Inko Inko Inko!
Izuku opened his mouth attempting to speak, however only end up choking on his words.
"Izuku, oh Izuku why feel bad over that stupid woman?"
Hisashi taunted further, seemingly enjoy watching Izuku breaking down.
Izuku gasped repeatedly, tears were uncontrollably trailing down his cheeks, he clenched his fist as he other hands desperately grabbed on the middle of his shirt.
"My little Izuku how pathetic, pathetic."
My little Izuku...
I.. I ain't yours, I was never your little Izuku.
Revenge.
Yes revenge!
For Inko
For yourself.
It is Hisashi's fault.
"Here is the knife... I killed Inko with, take it as a present Izuku, my Izuku"
Hizashi let out an amusing laugh before turning his back to Izuku, walking towards the exit. Izuku could only see red in sight, he shakingly moved towards the knife dropped on the floor next to him. The idea of stabbing Hisashi is oddly tempting.
Izuku's hands were shaking as he slowly and carefully picked up the knife, Hisashi's back was still visible.
Izuku held the knife with both hands as he pointed the knife at Hisashi's back, he dashed towards Hisashi as fast as he could stabbing the knife into the man's back.
Blood scattered all around the library floor, even dirting the bookshelves and staining some books. Hisashi choked out blood.
He turned around and glared at Izuku before collapsing to the ground.
He angrily muttered out.
"Stupid brat.. STUPID BRAT BRAT!! USELESS AN-"
Izuku didn't allow the man to finish, he was not satisfied with one stab he continued stabbing Hisashi, having no intention to stop.
Hisashi would scream and scream like how Izuku did.
Hisashi would cry and cry like how Izuku did.
Hisashi would look so helpless and helpless like how Izuku did.
Izuku thought that Hisashi deserved it, a satisfied grin grew on Izuku's face, Izuku had a crazed expression, he only wanted revenge, he was happy that Hisashi got to taste what he has to go through everyday.
That is right Izuku didn't need any heroes, he could be his own hero, just like this.
Izuku let out a faint laugh before giving a last stab right in Hisashi's heart.
Izuku was more than happy seeing the broken form of Hisashi himself. It was certain Hisashi had stopped breathing in the middle of Izuku stabbing him in damage of his organs. Izuku pulled out the knife, smiling to it, blood of Hisashi scribbled on the tip of the knife, lingering at the edge on it.
Izuku made his way to the hallway, killing every scientist and assistant that Hisashi had in sight. He no longer felt maniac, he was just empty, more empty than ever. He just wanted freedom, it was all Izuku ever wished for.
He had sworn he would kill everyone in sight that tries to stop him from reaching his goal.
For this once Izuku didn't want to care about others anymore,
For this once Izuku wanted to be selfish
And unknowingly to Izuku, he had shattered his last part of humanity that very night.
