Warning: Bad Language Because Of You Know Who.

AN: Glad you all liked the last chapter. Because of that I'm giving you another one. Before we start I want to thank everyone for reviewing. And I'll give your suggestions on pairings some thought. Don't expect much action in this chapter. You all are going to see a bit of Izuku's back story and how he became the way he is. Remember, he doesn't want to hurt or do the things he does. He doesn't have a choice. Izuku's hunger is like Sylar's from Heroes, but is also very similar to a vampire's or a Ghoul's from Tokyo Ghoul. You'll also see in this chapter how everyone reacts to Izuku being revealed to be The Stalker. From Pro Heroes to the people who care about him. Especially All Might, how will he react to Izuku? Who's Quirk is frighteningly similar to All For One. Also I still need 3 Quirks for Izuku. I don't need any flashy or powerful ones. Just useful or funny and silly Quirks. You can name it, detail it and how Izuku got it. Take a look again at Izuku's Quirks, you'll get an idea what to write.

Evolved Intuitive Aptitude Quirk:

Izuku's main Quirk is the ability to understand the structure and operation of complex systems without special education or training. He can find any problem and solve it. Even make it better than before. Izuku can even understand how people and how their Quirks work. So much that he can copy/steal them. Maybe even use them better. How he does this is by looking into a person's eyes, leaving them in a trance like state as he looks through their memories, fears, goals and dreams. Then he finds out how to copy/steal their Quirk. Unfortunately it leaves the person a vegetable, brain dead. While a powerful and frightening Quirk. It also forces the holder to understand as much as they can, resulting in a "hunger" which can manifest a need to understand, which often makes Izuku hunt and seek out people with Quirks. If he sees a powerful Quirk during one of his "hunger" episodes. He might lose control. Izuku often considers this Quirk a curse. This Quirk's type is Mutant.

Pacify Quirk:

One of the first Quirks Izuku acquired. It's a Quirk that is very similar to a telekinesis type Quirk and Eraserhead's Quirk, Erasure. Izuku has the ability to telekinetically grab objects and people. If grabbing ahold of a person he can nullify their Quirks. This Quirk also has drawbacks like so many. He can grab multiple individuals and objects if needed, but can only handle so much. He can only use this Quirk once or twice a day, and for a few minutes. Weight also pays a factor too. If he over uses or try to extend the duration of this Quirk. He'll suffer a nose bleed, headaches and finally faint from fatigue. Further study required. Izuku likes this Quirk because it makes hunting people easier. While not wanting or enjoy hunting people for their Quirks. This Quirk is a lot of help. This Quirk's type is Emitter.

Haze Breathing And Exhaling Quirk:

A recent Quirk Izuku acquired. This Quirk gives Izuku the ability exhale a black poisonous gas. That serves as a smokescreen and if breathed in by anyone other than Izuku and without special protection. Will render anyone unconscious. Izuku is also able to breath most toxic gasses with no problems because of this too. When his Pacify Quirks fails, Izuku uses this to apprehend and pacify his prey. Unfortunately after using said Quirk will have bad breath for a few hours. Also if he's out of breath when trying to use it, nothing will come out. While not the best or powerful type of Quirk. Izuku finds it uses satisfactory. This Quirk's type is Emitter.

Enhanced Jumping Quirk:

This Quirk allows Izuku to jump extremely high and long distances. Can jump the height of an average building. And leap across building and achieve further distance with ease. Only down side that his legs and feet can only last for so long. 5-10 minutes of jumping is all Izuku can achieve, and that's on a good day. Getting this Quirk was difficult, but after some careful planning Izuku got it with no problems. Izuku finds this Quirk useful if chasing after prey or needing a quick escape. This Quirk's type is Transformation.

Pyrokinesis Quirk:

A powerful Quirk that was very difficult for Izuku to get. The fight between him and the original holder lasted for hours. Similar to Endeavor's Quirk except very limited. Izuku can only manipulate and summon few flames at a time. Needs more training to emit more powerful attacks. Can use fire to engulf his body in combat if needed, but only on his hands, arms and maybe legs. Can also shoot fire balls and a stream of fire. But only for a few minutes before becoming fatigue. Last time Izuku used this ability, he almost burned down his house. Thankfully he didn't. Though he had to make a convincing lie to his mom. Only uses this Quirk if needed. This Quirk's type is a hybrid of Emitter and Transformation.

Stone Mimicry Quirk:

Yet another powerful Quirk Izuku acquire. And the most difficult. Took him three days to hunt the original owner down. With this Quirk, Izuku is able to turn his whole body into stone. While stronger and tougher than before. He can only handle so much before risking something to crack or break off. It also makes Izuku slower and weigh more too. An excellent defense and combat Quirk, Izuku finds himself using this Quirk if things get too hairy. This Quirk's type is Transformation,

Sound Emission Quirk:

This Quirk allows Izuku emit a shockwave of sound from his hands. Very similar to Present Mic's Quirk. Except Izuku can only use his hands. The shockwaves he makes are able to push objects and even people. The high pitch wave of sound is able to annoy and even cause some people to get bloody noses or their ears to bleed. It can even render some people unconscious. Izuku has speculated that at the right pitch he could even beak things apart. Though that's just a theory. Drawbacks, can only use for 5 minutes or less. Also doesn't travel well through underground, just like Present Mic's. This Quirk's type is Emitter.

Alright… ON WITH THE CHAPTER! Enjoy and sorry for any typos or errors!

"Have no fear!" All Might stated with a booming and righteous voice. His smile was big and bright that would make his enemies fear him, and give his allies and citizens hope. "For I am HERE!"

An Hour Later, Musutafu City Police Headquarters

In a small cell, deep in Police Headquarters. The vigilante/villain known as The Stalker was cuffed and heavily chained. Sitting on a metal chair next to a toilet and small bed. That wasn't all. Two cameras were also watching his every move too. Also with a heavily armored and armed guard. Who looked somewhat nervous.

The Police usually don't do this unless the perp or offender was a serious villain. Which The Stalker was apparently.

It had been an hour since the "incident" happened. Where Stalker lost control and had a fight with three Pro Heroes. Easily beating them and having them at his mercy. An hour since he endangered countless civilians. An hour since he saved the lives of those he endangered. An hour since he was saved and apprehended by All Might. His hero.

By now word would have gotten to the media. On what happened, and probably who he was. Stuff like that wouldn't be difficult for the media to find out. The Police probably knew everything about him by now. They might be calling his mom and telling her what happened. What he did.

Stalker sighed, making the guard tense.

His life was over. His dreams and goals were gone with the wind. Everyone in Japan probably knew who was and what he was. A villain… a monster. Still though, deep down he was kind of happy.

No one got hurt, well… not killed anyways by his crazed hunger. He saved a few people too. He even got to meet his hero All Might. Even though he was the one who cuffed him and brought him to the police.

But he was still a little down, more scared than anything. Not about him, well maybe a little. No, he was afraid for his mom. What was she going to do when she found out what happened. What he is. Stalker couldn't imagine. He didn't want to.

As Stalker continued to think about his mom and his fate. A door could be heard opening, then shutting. He then heard two sets of foot steps walking. Finally two people appeared from around the corner outside his cell. One was the police officer who All Might handed over to. He had a kind yet serious face, he was tall man with short black hair and black eyes. As a member of the police force, he was wearing his uniform. He wore a signature tan overcoat and a matching hat. The other person was a sickly and very skinny man with angular features and long limbs. He had spiky, dishevelled hair with two bangs framing the sides of his face. He had a very long neck and his eyebrows were absent. He wore some baggy clothes. This man looked familiar to Stalker but he couldn't figure out why.

Both men stopped in front of Stalker's cell. The officer holding onto a clipboard and the other just standing there. Looking at Stalker strangely.

"Izuku Midoriya aka The Stalker, middle schooler for Orudera Junior High School. Age 14, mother's name is Inko Midoriya and father's name is Hisashi Midoriya. No criminal record to speak of. Well, used to anyway. And yet I only see one thing wrong on this board. You know what that is?"

Stalker, now known to be Izuku Midoriya just sat there. With a look of shame, he remained quiet. Making the officer sigh.

"It says here you're Quirkless. And yet you not only showed you have a Quirk. But you have 7." The officer stated eyeing Izuku suspiciously. The other did the same. Izuku remained quiet, his eyes stared at the men with indifference. "Tell us… how did that happen? And why you're hunting people with Quirks. How many do you have that you haven't shown?"

Izuku just remained quiet. That is until he looked up at the men.

"Is… everyone alright?"

Both men were surprised by what Izuku said. They looked over at each other, the sickly looking man a gave a nod to officer who nodded back.

"Mt. Lady and Eraserhead were hurt, but not too badly. A few civilians got a couple scrapes and bruises. The only who was seriously hurt was Kamui Woods. He suffered a broken leg and dislocated shoulder."

Izuku eyes widened in shock, then in horror as he lowered his head. Which confused both men and the guard. But what happened next changed their confusion into shock. Izuku, began to cry.

Tears began to slowly fall towards the floor and down his face. His expression was filled with guilt and shame.

"I… I didn't w-want to hurt anyone." Izuku softy sobbed out as he tried to keep himself together. "The hunger… I can't stop it. No matter what I do it's always there. God… I'm a monster."

Everyone looked at Izuku strangely again.

"What hunger?" The sickly man asked. "Son, we can't help you unless you help us. Tell us what's wrong? How did you receive those Quirks? Do you know anyone else like you?"

All these questions, the sickly man needed to know. The officer stayed quiet as he awaited for Izuku to say something.

However Izuku just sat there with his head still low. That is until he eventually looked up to face the man. With a very dark look.

"There's no else like me… I'm a monster." Izuku murmured darkly as closed his eyes. "Whatever charges you have on me, I'll accept them. Just please… leave me alone."

The sickly man didn't look like he was ready to leave. But before he could say anything the officer stopped him. Giving him a small shake of his head. The sickly man just sighed and nodded. The officer turned around to give the guard a nod, who gave a small salute. Both men were about to leave, but stopped when Izuku decided to speak once last time.

"I'm sorry… tell everyone I'm sorry." Izuku softy whispered out. "Especially my mom…"

Both men looked shocked by this, then resumed walking away. However the sickly man gave Izuku a sympathetic glance before leaving. Soon Izuku was all alone again. The guard and cameras watching over him like a hawk. He could break out of here. Use any one of his Quirks. But he decided to stay like this. He deserved it. At least until the hunger came back. It always comes back.

A monster, that's all he was.

Meanwhile as Izuku wallowed in guilt and shame in his cell. The two men who had just gotten done talking to him. Were discussing recent events, namely about what happened and Izuku.

"So, All Might. What are you thinking about?" The officer asked the sickly man, now known to be All Might! "Do you think this kid has anything to do with… you know who?"

All Might just sighed.

"I don't know Tsukauchi. That boy used multiple Quirks just like him. So maybe?" All Might murmured out with conflicted face. Tsukauchi looked over at his friend worryingly. "Still… what I saw that boy do. I'm still having trouble that someone involved with One For All would risk everything for innocent people. That boy saved those people without a second thought, he even worked willingly with the people he was fighting with."

Tsukauchi nodded. Why would Izuku risk his life for a couple of civilians? Why did he care? From all the stories and rumors about The Stalker. One would think Izuku would make an escape during the chaos. But he didn't. He stayed and revealed his identity to help and save people. Even going so far to risk his life. Why though?

"What do you think he was talking about in there? About hunger?" Tsukauchi asked All Might. "Do you think that's why he's after Quirks? I've never heard of such Quirk before."

That's when All Might stopped. Causing Tsukauchi to stop as well. The Detective looked over at his friend to see he had a rather serious expression on his face.

"I have. Only heard stories about it. From my teacher and Gran Torino. Apparently a long time ago in the states. A man could take Quirks, which resulted in a hunger for more. How he got these Quirks wasn't pretty I heard. He was considered to be the first Quirked serial killer in history."

Tsukauchi looked shocked and a bit shaken by this.

"What was this guy's name?" Tsukauchi asked still reeling from what he heard.

All Might just stood there for awhile, before he resumed walking.

"His name… was Sylar."

Meanwhile At The Midoriya Apartment

In a large Apartment complex, in a small apartment. A short and plump woman with short green hair that was tied into a pony tail on her felt side. Looked very worried and jumpy. She was currently on the phone talking to her best friend, Mitsuki Bakugo. Mother to Katsuki Bakugo, her son Izuku's former friend.

The reason why she was talking to her that she was growing more worried that Izuku hadn't come home yet. Something he's been doing a lot as of late. She was hoping that he'd stop by at Mitsuki's. Unfortunately he hadn'. Not in a long time.

"Thank you Mitsuki. I'm sorry to bother you. No, I'm alright. If you do see Izuku, please tell him to call me. Alright, bye."

Inko Midoriya sighed as she hung up the phone. Her worries for her son and where he was were only growing. Inko soon found herself walking towards the living room. Where she took a seat on the couch.

"Where are you Izuku… why have you been acting so strange?"

Inko wasn't a fool, for the last few months she knew something was going on with her son. She was a mother after all. She knew Izuku was sneaking out at night, or not coming home from school after a long time for a reason. She just didn't know why. At first it she thought it was because he just a teenager. But that changed when he started coming home in bad shape.

Usually he'd come home with cuts, scrapes, bruises and even burns at one point. Inko thought it was because he was getting bullied. But that wasn't it. Her son was changing. He's been reading tons of books, magazines and manuals. Some stuff that were too advanced for him. But he would finish those kind of books in a few hours. He'd also spend hours in his room, isolating himself. Which only got her more worried. He's also been writing crazy stuff on a handmade manual he's made. Detailing Quirks, their strengths and weaknesses. She's even seen her Quirk on there.

All of this craziness began a few months ago. When Izuku came rushing home and locked himself in his room. Like he did something terrible. Inko tried to talk to him but he wouldn't come out. Not for hours. Until he did. When he came out, Izuku acted differently. More cautious and curious. Eventually things went back to normal. For awhile. That is until Inko noticed that Izuku was acting strange again.

Inko noticed that Izuku would watch her or loom over her strangely. Like he was studying her or waiting for her to mess up or something. She began to fear him a little when she found him looming over her when she was sleeping. Eventually all that stopped. Right around that villain known as The Stalker showed up.

Another reason she didn't want Izuku to be late at night. Inko heard the rumors and news reports about The Stalker. A mysterious villain/vigilante that would stalk people at night. Usually bad people. But Inko didn't want her or Izuku to ever encounter them. She also heard that he or she would leave their victims brain dead. A shell of their former selves.

Inko didn't want that happening to her poor Izuku.

"I should probably watch some TV until he comes homes." Inko stated with another sigh as she turned on the TV. She looked to see that it was a breaking news report. "I wonder what's happening?"

"Breaking news, an hour ago in the middle of a crowded street. An unexpected villain attack took place. That involved Mt. Lady, Kamui Woods and another mysterious Pro Hero. The villain that attacked… was revealed to be The Stalker. A mysterious villain that many consider a vigilante who recently showed up these last few mouth. Attacking and leaving his victims in a vegetative state. Many of whom were pretty criminals."

Inko sat up straight as she listened to the report carefully. She began to have a very sinking and dark feeling down in her stomach. She hoped her son was alright.

"The fight was rough and resulted in Kamui Woods and the other Pro Hero being hospitalized. Leaving only Mt. Lady to face The Stalker alone. During the altercation, Mt. Lady unknowingly put innocent lives in danger."

"Thankfully no one was seriously hurt or lost their lives. Thanks to The Stalker, who stopped a collapsing building from falling on many innocents. However he unknowingly placed his life in danger, but before anything happened. Japan's number 1 hero All Might saved the day and apprehended The Stalker. Resulting in his arrest."

Inko gave out a small sigh of relief. She was glad no got hurt to badly, or worse got killed. She was also glad that no good Stalker was behind bars now. That's one worry off her chest. Unfortunately her son wasn't back yet. Before Inko knew it the news report continued, so she brought her attention back on the TV.

"Reports are sketchy. But The Stalker was shown to have been using multiple Quirks. Many reliable witnesses can confirm this. Unfortunately we are unable to confirm this for ourselves. On the other hand after being apprehended we were able to confirm his identity. With cooperation from the police and Pro Heroes."

Inko just sat there waiting for them continue. Not knowing she was going to have the shock of her life. Before she knew it, they showed the Stalker in a mugshot. Cuffed and chained, while having a guilt and shamed looking expression.

Inko sat there… her face and eyes were widened. In shock and disbelief. She couldn't believe it.

"I… I-Izuku…?"

A Little While Ago At The Bakugo Household

"For the last time, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT SHITTY DEKU IS!"

Katsuki Bakugo yelled out with a vein appearing on his forehead. Katsuki was an average height for his age. He had ash blonde hair and had red eyes. He was currently outside the backyard of his home training. But couldn't because of his mom. Apparently because Deku's mom was calling. Asking if they'd seen him.

"Fine, YOU SHITTY BRAT! And stop yelling!" Katsuki heard his mom yelled out in the house.

Katsuki just growled out as he fired off a small explosion from his palms!

BOOM!

His Quirk was call Explosion. It's an emitter Quirk. It was a deadly and powerful Quirk. That matched a bit like his personality.

Katsuki growled again as he kept on using his Quirk. The sweat he was working was helping him out a lot. This how he burned off steam. And as of late he's been so pissed off. The reason?

"Deku!" Katsuki snarled out with a pissed off expression.

As of late Izuku, who called Deku. Because he was a Quirkless and shitty nerd. Had been getting on his nerves lately.

It happened a few mouths ago. On a day he would remind Deku how worthless he was along with his friends. They would usually beat him up and they did. But this time was different. It was almost he was enjoying it. Seeing their Quirks in action. It creeped them out that they stopped bullying him. Lately that's all he's been doing. Sneaking around trying to see how people's Quirks worked. Writing everything in that little manual of his.

"I'm gonna destroy that little fucking manual next time I see it!" Katsuki yelled out as he kept firing explosions. "That'll show that Quirkless shit head."

While Katsuki and Izuku used to be best friends when they were kids. That changed when he got his Quirk, and Deku didn't. It showed him that he was powerful. And that Deku and everyone else were just pebbles in his way. Deku was a pebble. An annoying pebble. That's all he was.

With one last furious yell, Katsuki was done. After recovering his breath, he decided to head inside and hit the sack.

"That shit head better be home with his mom. Good for nothing dumbass shouldn't worry her like that."

While he didn't care about Izuku. Katsuki cared for his mom just like his own. She was kind and always smiling. Deku didn't deserve such a woman as a mother. Katsuki was just about to open the back door. His mom called out for him.

"KATSUKI! GET IN HERE NOW!"

Katsuki groaned out in anger as he came marching inside. Eventually he made to the living room where his mom and dad were. Their faces in shock as they looked at the TV. Before Katsuki could say anything his gaze was on the TV. And what he saw he couldn't believe.

"Reports are sketchy. But The Stalker was shown to have been using multiple Quirks. Many reliable witnesses can confirm this. Unfortunately we are unable to confirm this for ourselves. On the other hand after being apprehended we were able to confirm his identity. With cooperation from the police and Pro Heroes."

The TV showed the mugshot of Izuku in his Stalker gear all chained and cuffed. While having a dejected and guilty expression.

"His name is Izuku Midoriya. He is 14 years old and is a Junior High School student at Orudera Junior High School. He's reported to have been Quirkless, but that appears to not be the case. Since many witnesses and Pro Heroes can confirm he has multiple Quirks. We are unable to reach Mr. Midoriya for comment. However we are working on getting one from his family and authorities who apprehended him. Stay tune for more information."

No one in the room could believe it. Katsuki more than anyone. His mom was the first one to snap out of it, she quickly headed to the phone and began to try and call Inko. Katsuki's dad just there on the couch. Still shock. The same for Katsuki. Who still couldn't believe it. Izuku Midoriya, Deku. Was the infamous and feared Stalker. The boogeyman to thugs and lowlifes everywhere.

"No… fucking… way!"

Meanwhile Elsewhere

Word was already spreading about Stalker, aka Izuku Midoriya. How he attacked Pro Heroes and had them at his mercy. How he revealed his identity to the world to save a group of people from death. All because of a Pro Hero's fault. How he is risked his own life.

Many who knew Izuku could believe it, some refused to believe it. Word of the Stalker being a child reached many lowlifes and thugs everywhere. Some of whom had lost friends or rivals because of him. Now that he was in police custody, they had nothing to fear anymore. Some where even thinking about getting payback. Maybe by attacking that school of his or paying his family a visit.

While that was happening, a mysterious large man sitting in a large medical chair. While being hooked to a number of machines and other things. Couldn't help but chuckle at the news he was hearing on the TV.

"Something wrong Master?" A well mannered and serious voice asked in the shadows. "Does something about this bother you?"

The man just chuckled again.

"No Kurogiri, it amuses me that someone could have a Quirk so similar to Sylar's would be around. And to be someone so… ordinary too. And in my backyard of all places."

"Do you want me to retrieve him?" Kurogiri asked still lurking in the shadows.

The man sighed as he was in deep in thought.

"No, let's see what happens to this dear boy. Right now he's little more than an animal. If he does prove himself. Maybe we'll recruit him into our ranks. But for now we shall wait."

"Yes Master, I understand."

Kurogiri said before a loud whooshing was heard. And Kurogiri was gone. Leaving the man to his thoughts.

"I wonder child, how will you end up? Will you be like Sylar and follow his path just as he began? Or will you follow the path he chose after that "incident"? Will you become an ally… or a rival just like him?"

The man leaned forward on his chair a bit, revealing his face. The man's face seemed to be made entirely of scar tissue, extending from above his upper lip and covering his entire head and the back of his neck. As such, he had no visible nose, ears, hair, or eyes, though outlines of eye sockets could be seen.

"Whatever happens… I'll watch you closely. Izuku Midoriya."

To Be Continued

AN: Looks like Izuku's secret is out. He's even caught the eye of The League Of Villains. So, Izuku is locked up. What will he do? Will he escape or wait for a miracle to happen? Will he follow the path of Sylar? Or forge his own? Wait for the next chapter to find out! Sorry of this was a short chapter. I'll try harder next time. Anyways I still need suggestions for pairings. Even if they're not for Izuku. I'm all ears. I also need 3 Quirks for Izuku. Name them, detail them and how he got them. Also expect more Heroes References and names to pop up from time to time. Remember, leave your suggestions, questions, ideas and general feedback in a review. Expect the next chapter after I update my other stories. Some of which I recommend you check out. So… see ya! Sorry for any errors or typos! And please leave a review!
