Earlier that day…

I was walking down the street, heading towards the store. Mom needed some extra ingredients for dinner, and I had told her I'd run out for her.

I kept hearing people talking about a new villain on the rise. The name he went by was Chronos. His quirk was Frame Perfect, but, no one had any idea what that quirk did. I had my guard up, though. If I ran into him, I'd put all I had into fighting him.

I was just leaving the store, when someone seemed to teleport away from me. He had been on one end of the street when I had blinked, and was suddenly at the other end.

"Hey!" I yelled out, dropping my grocery bag. The person stopped, and turned to see me.

"Oh? And who the hell are you, boy? Some student wanting to be the hero?" he asked. He was wearing just a casual t-shirt and capris, but he had short, smoke-colored hair, and eyes as bright as fire.

"How did you do that? You were at the end of the street, and now you're here," I said.

"Listen, kid. I don't have time to listen to all your questions. I need to get back to where I live. And believe me, it's far," he said.

"With that bag of stolen goods?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. The guy's expression darkened.

"So. That's how it's going to be. You're a little young to confront villains, aren't you, kid? Doesn't matter," he said. I got in a fighting stance, ready to at least hold him off until police came, but I was suddenly flying in between two buildings.

"Who are you?" I asked, shakily standing up.

"You can call me Chronos. But, you won't be able to tell anyone you know who I am," he smirked.

"What are you talking ab-" I was cut off as I received another blow from behind me. I quickly turned around to him, and threw a punch. He was moving to fast for me to be able to summon up my One For All so quick, but he seemed to disappear, and I was eating the ground yet again. I stayed there, wanting to start up One For All. Once I got it up, I stood up, and started to throw another punch at Chronos, but he evaded me again, appearing at the end of the alleyway.

It has to be his quirk. But, what is it? And how does it work? I've never seen anything like it, I thought. I was snapped out of my thoughts as I hit the wall of the alleyway. As I hit it, I heard a distinct cracking sound in my arm. My eyes widened as my body started to register the pain of the broken limb. I started to get up, having gotten used to the pain, from before, when I couldn't control One For All. I stood up, and launched myself at Chronos, but he seemed to disappear again, only for me to hit the ground again, my ankle snapping this time. I was shakily on my good arm and knees, when I felt his foot on my back. How the hell was I not able to land a single hit on him?! Just what was his quirk?!

"I didn't want to have to harm a high schooler, but you left me no choice. You'd better stay down, before I have to keep you down there. Now let me go, and nothing else will happen to you," Chronos growled in my ear. He took his foot off my back, and started to walk away. I struggled to stand, my ankle screaming at me to get weight off of it, but I faced Chronos' retreating form.

"I'm not going to let you go. You're still a villain, and I'm still going to bring you in!" I yelled. Chronos stopped walking, and sighed softly. After he did, I suddenly found myself firmly on the ground again, my back screaming in pain.

"I guess you'll have to learn the hard way, then. I really didn't want to harm a high school student, but you just won't quit. Well then, I'll have to make you," Chronos said coldly. He pressed harder into my back with his foot, making a scream erupt from my throat. He grabbed a handful of my hair, and lifted my head back, before slamming hard on the ground.

That was the last I remembered before everything went black.

~B~

I was walking home from the gym, when I noticed a large crowd of people gathering near the supermarket. I groaned under my breath, and continued walking. My curiosity, however, was piqued when I saw an ambulance the closer a got. I sped up my walking, when I saw the paramedics taking out a stretcher, and going into the alley. I tried to get closet, and managed to, but what I saw made me freeze in my tracks.

Deku.

Deku was gently being lifted and placed on the stretcher. His arm was bent at a weird angle, as was his ankle. He was covered with bruises, and had dried blood trailing down from his mouth. His eyes were completely shut, and it didn't look like they would open anytime soon.

"...Deku….," I whispered softly to myself. I quickly got out my phone to call his mother, and just before I hit send, I stopped.

No.

Why the hell did I care about him like this?!

Argh!

I deleted the number off my phone, and started storming down the street again. Why did he make me feel this way?! That damn nerd was always doing this to me. Somehow making me care about him, then me getting angry about it. Why did he make me so angry?! I sat on a bench, gripping my head. I was confused and angry, and only he did that to me. Every single time.

I looked down at my hands. Did it come from a protective side? Ever since he had told me he was quirkless when we were younger, a new side had opened up in me. I took my phone out of my pocket, and looked at it. I gripped it tightly, as I unlocked it, and went to my contacts. I sent a quick text to both Uraraka, the gravity girl, and Iida, Mr. Motor Legs.

Deku got hurt. I saw him being put in the back of an ambulance. I'm going to the hospital. You should, too.

I took a deep breath, leaning against the hospital.

Deku.

Deku, Deku, Deku.

I wouldn't have let him been alone, had I known this was going to happen. Of course, I couldn't say that in front of the others. I had a reputation to protect. I would've also protected him from this Chronos. And, his quirk. Time Perfect. What the hell did that mean? I had never heard of it before.

"Tell me. Do you like him?"

"What the hell?! When did you come out?!" I exclaimed, jumping when I heard Mr. Aizawa's voice.

"Just now. Now, answer the question. I can tell by the look on your face, I just want to confirm it," Mr. Aizawa said, taking out a cigarette and lighting it.

"And what look is that?!" I growled. I felt my hands starting to heat up in anger.

"You care about him. You care, but you don't want to show it. I've been teaching for a long while now, and know certain looks. Just tell me, and your secret's safe with me," Mr. Aizawa said. Instead of answering him, I stormed away from the hospital, and started heading home.

There was no way I had a crush on that damn nerd!

No way in hell!

But then, why did I care for him?

Why?

Why did I have this protective side for him? He could clearly protect himself now, after he somehow got a quirk. But, after things that happened today, seeing him in the hospital. Learning of his comatose state. That protective side of me was rearing itself again.

Why did he have to be alone, dammit?!

~I~

"Maybe All Might regrets giving us One For All. Maybe he should've chosen someone different. If he did, then that person would've been able to stop a simple villain like that guy," the image said darkly, that evil grin a permanent feature on its face.

"Shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up," I mumbled, covering my ears. I didn't want to hear this! It wasn't true! It wasn't!

"You can't shut me up, Izuku. Even if you cover your ears, you can still hear me. I'm you. Every single negative thought you've ever had. That's me. Like, maybe Kacchan was right. Maybe we should've gone to the roof of the middle school and jumped," the image laughed darkly, its voice loud and clear, even though I still had my ears covered. I crouched down, covering my ears even more. I didn't want to listen.

"Just be quiet! I don't want to listen to you!" I yelled.

"You have no choice. You can't make me go away. We're worthless, just like Kacchan said when he calls us Deku," the image said. I shut my eyes tightly, hoping that that, somehow, would block out the voice. I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm all you have right now. I'm all you'll ever have. Forever and ever," it purred in my ear. I felt tears spring into my closed eyes. "We're worthless. We truly deserve the name Deku, and you know we do. We were stupid. Stupid. Idiotic. Dumb. Unintelligent. Mindless. Foolish. Moronic. Our little crush on Kacchan? That's all it'll ever be. A crush. Kacchan can never love someone as brain-dead as we are."

Aah! I'm so mean to Izuku ;~;

Don't worry, though. It's going to get more and more devastating before it gets better!
