Hey guys hope you enjoy the chapter :D
At the police station
10 AM. . .
Midoriya was patiently waiting for his interview with Naomasa, Midoriya was somewhat impatient he wasn't allowed visits from anyone until his interrogation was finished. Midoriya wanted to see his mother Inko Midoriya.
The sound of rattling keys caught Midoriya's attention.
"Alright against the wall, arms behind your back." said the police officer pulling out his handcuffs
Midoriya did as he was instructed and let the policeman cuff him and guide him out of his cell. The policeman took Midoriya into a soundproof room with a single bolted down table and one chair on both sides.
"Alright sit here and put your hands on the table." commanded the officer pointing towards the chair.
Midoriya didn't say a word and sat down on the chair setting his cuffed hands on the table afterward. The policeman connected Midoriya cuffs to the table (so he couldn't pull anything).
"The detective will be here soon" said the policeman coldly locking the door behind him as he left.
"About time" sighed Midoriya looking down at his restrained wrists.
20 minutes later
The metal door slowly opened revealing a single detective.
"Good morning Naomasa" Midoriya greeted as he bowed his head
"Good Morning Izuku Midoriya, or should I say Deku" Naomasa responded taking a seat across from Midoriya
"Whichever is fine, as long as my name is not made public" Midoriya stated firmly
"Very well" Naomasa said taking a mental note on Midoriya's request
"You know I knew if anyone would figure me out, it would be you" Midoriya said sitting upright in his chair
"How so?" asked Naomasa
"Your visits with my mom, your no idiot either so it was only a matter of time until you pieced it all together." explained Midoriya
"So you kept an eye on your mother" said Naomasa probing Midoriya
"Of course, if anything were to happen to her because of me. . . I wouldn't be able to live with myself." Midoriya replied solemnly
"I see. . . well Midoriya I'm going to ask you some questions, I hope you will cooperate with me." Naomasa said taking out his notepad
"Of course, ask away detective" Midoriya replied shifting in his chair.
"Midoriya when did you join the league?" asked Naomasa activating his quirk (Lie Detector, the ability to tell if an individual is lying)
"I would say around 2 months give or take, I haven't been with them long" Midoriya replied
"I see, and before you joined the League, can you tell me about your whereabouts during that time" Naomasa asked looking at his notes on Stain
"I trained under Stain the hero killer for a little over a year, he taught me how to fight and defend myself, how to be something more than a quirkless and timid child, however after some time he suggested I join the League, we parted ways not long after." Midoriya explained fidgeting with his cuffs, they were on fairly tight.
"Do you know Stains current whereabouts now?" asked Naomasa
"No, Stain keeps to himself for the most part" replied Midoriya quickly
Naomasa was using his quirk, everything thing Midoriya was saying was true, it surprised Naomasa that Midoriya was being so cooperative.
"I'm not lying, besides with that quirk of yours it seems like a waste of time if I tried to lie haha" Midoriya chuckled
Naomasa was caught off guard Midoriya knew of his quirk as Naomasa tried to keep it a secret.
"I'm surprised you know of my quirk" Naomasa replied with a surprised tone
"Of course I do, I know the quirks of nearly everybody in Japan." Midoriya replied
"Is that the work you were assigned to in the League" Naomasa asked curiously
"Yes I recorded quirks and presented them to the league, I was also an on and off field agent, mostly off but you get the idea" Midoriya replied looking down at his cuffs.
"You were present at the assault on U.A and the summer camp, correct?" asked Naomasa looking at Midoriya with a serious face
"Yes that's correct, I was present on both occasions, I have been undercover multiple times however, and as for the summer camp raid things didn't go as planned." Midoriya explained
"Please elaborate Midoriya, how many times were you undercover, and please tell me what happened at the camp, why didn't things go as planned?" Naomasa asked writing down everything Midoriya was saying
"I was undercover during the U.A entrance exam, don't worry I didn't do anything to the students, I simply took the exam to test myself I was under the name Akaguro Hiro." Midoriya explained
Naomasa was surprised to hear Midoriya was Hiro, but the detective very well what Midoriya was capable of. Midoriya took a short pause and continued
"The other two times were unintentional, I was to record students quirks for the league and I took a photo with the students of 1A, the other time was at the mall, I interacted with a couple students of class 1A for a few minutes." Midoriya explained to the detective who was busy writing down in his notepad
"Things never go as planned, this much I have learned from the League. . .I was assigned back up along with a villain who went by the alias Muscular, Shigaraki was not fond of my involvement in the league and ordered Muscular to kill me, I defeated Muscular and regrouped with the Squad shortly after." Midoriya said not mentioning Kota
"Muscular. . a bloodthirsty villain and yet you managed to take him down,he was apprehended and sent to Jail, he's looking at life or the death sentence you know ." Naomasa replied looking up from his notepad
"Good, scum like him are waste of space on this earth" Midoriya replied with a cold expression
"Midoriya, I'm going to ask you three more questions, please answer truthfully." Naomasa said tightening his grasp on his notepad
Before Naomasa could ask his question he glanced over to Midoriya's wrists, they were tightly secured maybe even too much. Naomasa stood up and released Midoriya from his cuffs
"Thank you, they were rather tight" Midoriya said massaging his wrists
"Not a problem, are you ready to answer Midoriya?" Naomasa asked moving the cuffs to the side
"Of course detective" Midoriya replied setting both of his hands on the table
"Midoriya, how many students have you injured." Naomasa asked in a somewhat nervous tone.
Naomasa was afraid of this question. If Midoriya assaulted the students with a knife or a deadly weapon it was possible he would be seeing up to fifteen years in prison
"I have only attacked two students, I engaged in hand to hand comb with Bakugou Katsuki and Kirishima Eijiro." Midoriya responded calmly
"I see" Naomasa sighed in relief
"Midoriya, do you know anything about the Nomu?" Naomasa asked firmly
"I know they are creatures pumped with multiple quirks, that is all I know about them, All For One made sure to keep everyone in the dark." Midoriya explained not mentioning the personal Nomu he requested long ago
"I understand, thank you for being honest on that one." Naomasa said flipping through his notes
"Midoriya, Gran Torino said you didn't put up a fight when he apprehended you, why is that?" asked Naomasa curiously
"I was done with it all, my life was under constant threat by everyone, I just wanted it to end. . . and I wanted to see my mother again." Midoriya explained with a sigh
"Oh . . ." Naomasa replied with a sigh of his own
There was a short pause in the room.
"Midoriya why. . . why did you become a villain?" Naomasa asked looking straight at Midoriya
"Why huh. . . that's a good one, I'm not sure myself detective, but I'll tell you about myself, hopefully that will shed some light. I was just a child, and like any other child I was full of hopes and dreams, my dream however was to become a Hero and not just any hero. . . a great one like All Might, a hero who could save anyone with a smile. My dream however would not become a reality, I was Quirkless, my only true friend became my tormenter, bullying me for being quirkless. But I powered through it all, the abuse and neglect, deep down I wanted to believe I could be a hero, prove them all wrong and show them a timid quirkless boy could become a hero if he tried hard enough. My string of hope was thin, and then All Might appeared, my chance to know if it was possible, I asked All Might, my idol if I could become a hero, however I learned two things that day, hopes and dreams are only hopes and dreams, and life isn't like the stories or movies it's a cruel and dangerous place, the string I held for all those years finally snapped that day. I simply couldn't deal with it anymore, so later that day I returned to the same place my dreams were shattered. . . and jumped." Midoriya said solemnly whilst clenching his fists.
"Stain took me under his wing, and I became the very thing I swore to defeat, I became a villain and not because I wanted to, but because I had nowhere else to go." Midoriya explained
"Midoriya. . . " Naomasa said in a low voice
Midoriya didn't respond and stared at his scarred and beaten hands.
"Thank you Midoriya, that's all I had" Naomasa said standing up from his seat and heading towards the door.
"Detective. . .looking back my life has been nothing but failure, its funny, how things turn out huh." Midoriya said still looking at his hands
Naomasa didn't say a word and walked out of the room.
On the other side of the double-sided window stood Toshinori and Midoriya's mother
Inko was crying at the sight of her son, he was nothing like the boy she remembered, Midoriya now was an emotionless boy with no ambition or hope, he was now an empty vessel full of regret.
Toshinori blood was cold, he blamed himself for the current state Midoriya was in.
"Pathetic, I'm pathetic. . " Toshinori said in a low voice to himself
*slap*
Toshinori took the slap from Inko without retaliation.
"You, if only you had just said something else!" Inko shouted at the blonde skeletal man
Toshinori stood silent and stared at the floor.
"Maam, please calm down" Naomasa said walking quickly up to Inko
"I know its not his fault, I should have known sooner, I should have done something" Inko choked falling to her knees
"Naomasa what do we do, we can't let him rot in jail" Toshinori asked which was very uncommon of him
"I have a risky idea, but its worth a shot" Naomasa said lifting up Inko from the floor
"Maam whenever you're ready to talk to Midoriya just tell me" Naomasa added looking back at Midoriya who was staring blankly into space.
1 hour later
The door to the interrogation room opened and Inko walked in.
"Mom. . ." Midoriya choked as he looked at his mother
"Izukuuuu" Inko said as she hugged her child warmly
"I'm sorry, it's my fault you are going through all of this" Midoriya said scolding himself
"No sweetie, it's my fault for not doing anything sooner, I should have done something" Inko responded quickly hugging her son tighter.
"No. . . that's not it, you gave me all the love in the world, I was just selfish and weak" Midoriya said letting go of his mother
"Izuku. . ." Inko responded in a low voice
"I'm sorry I couldn't return home, it was far too dangerous" Midoriya explained to his mother
"I know Izuku, but I'm glad we can see each other again" Inko said as tears began to fill up her eyes
"Me too. . ." Midoriya said as he finally shed a single tear. . .
The next day at U.A
The teachers of U.A were meeting with Naomasa at his request.
"So detective, what is it you wanted to speak to us about" Nezu asked cheerfully
"It was in regards to the villain Deku, I request you put him in the hero course." Naomasa said firmly to the teachers
"I don't think so detective, he's a villain and as such should be treated as one" Vlad king stated loudly
"I'm with Vlad on this one." Present mic added slumping back into his chair
"Please let me explain before you make your decision" Naomasa said bringing in four people who were waiting outside the waiting room.
"Deku the villain as we all know is a villain, however his heroic deeds far outweigh his wrongdoings. Allow me to present you the people he has saved." Naomasa explained signaling the four people to come inside the room
The group of four consisted of Tenya Iida, Tsuyu Asui, Kota Izuma, and a random man.
"I'm going to let them each tell you their story" Naomasa said standing off to the side allowing the four to stand in front of the room
"Hello I am Tsuyu Asui of class 1A." Asui said bowing in respect to the teachers
"Hello miss Asui, please continue." Nezu said with a smile
"Deku the villain, I don't know much about him but I don't think he's a bad person. I was with Mineta when the villains attacked the school, I was hiding when I was spotted by Deku, he could have told his allies, but instead, he told me to run, warning me of his leader and what he would do to us if we stuck around. If it wasn't for him, I don't know if I would be here now." explained Asui as she shuddered at the thought of death.
After Asui finished, Tenya soon followed.
"Deku. . . he taught me what it meant to be a true hero, and he is also the person who saved my life. I was blinded by revenge, and I made the decision to pursue the Hero killer in Hosu, little did I know how suicidal it was at the time. I was quickly overpowered by the Hero killer and he was prepared to take my life, Deku stepped in however and convinced Hero killer to spare my life, However I know if it had come to it, Deku would have fought the Hero killer to protect me." Tenya explained facing directly at the teachers
"I see, thank you Tenya." Nezu said in a soft voice
"When I caught wind that they caught this villain, I felt like I had to thank him in person. Although I don't know his real name, I'm grateful for what he did, like most I was on my way to work, but I was assaulted by a large person, they beat me down and left me to die. Deku didn't however, he cleaned my wounds and treated me before calling the paramedics, I'm glad I was able to see his face before passing out." explained the man to everyone present
The room went silent, the teachers were still not convinced however they were beginning to see the good in the villain.
"H- hi my name is Kota Izumi" Kota said shyly to the room
"Hello there Kota, please don't be afraid you're not going to be criticized, I promise." Nezu said with a soft smile
"Oh ah okay. Deku saved me from the man who killed my mom and dad." Kota said tearing up
"I always sit alone on a cliff, and Muscular the villain he wanted to kill me just for fun, but Deku stepped in and defeated Muscular and he made sure I was safe even when he was fighting that guy! Deku was bleeding all over, coughing up blood and limping but he still let me ride on his back, he took me to my aunt making sure I was safe. He might be a villain. . . but he's my hero!" Kota said loudly with tears in his eyes
The room grew silent, everyone in the room was surprised to hear a villain did such a thing.
"Thank you Kota" Naomasa said
Naomasa soon led the group outside of the room and quickly made his way back.
"Now that you have heard these stories, please tell me what you all think." Naomasa asked standing at the front of the room.
"He seems much more suited to be a hero that's for sure." Nezu added looking at the other teachers
"I believe with proper guidance he can become a great hero." All Might said firmly, surprising everyone in the room
"Just because he some sanity doesn't make him any better than the other villains, but he does have some redeeming qualities." Vlad King said bluntly
"Now that the kid has some support and witnesses, I think we could squeeze him in." Present Mic added enthusiastically
The other teachers murmured amongst themselves, except Aizawa who seemed rather annoyed.
"You would all let a villain enter the hero course but not a student of your own school, it's simply ridiculous." Aizawa said somewhat angrily.
The room grew silent and many teachers nodded in agreement with Aizawa's reasoning.
"Detective, we see the good in this villain but, we simply cannot deny our own students the hero course to a villain who has no interest in becoming a hero" Nezu said firmly showing a hint of sadness
"I see, well I thank you all for your time." Naomasa said gathering his evidence and heading towards the door
Naomasa was one foot out the door when he was interrupted by Nezu.
"Wait. I think I have an idea, it's not what you requested but its next best thing!" Nezu said with a bright smile
3 days later
U.A was finishing up the last of the students for the boarding school program, the parents all had agreed to allow their children to live at U.A for their safety. Naomasa was busy trying to convince someone of his own.
"Hello Midoriya" Naomasa greeted through the Jail phone
"Hello again detective" Midoriya greeted back bowing his head slightly in respect.
"Midoriya, I'm sure you know why I'm here." Naomasa said looking straight at the teen
"Ah yes, the boarding program at U.A, I'm sure you know my answer" Midoriya replied in a disinterested tone
"Listen detective, whatever you say won't change my mind, the idea is stupid and would only cause problems for me and you." Midoriya added
"Midoriya you have 2 years in jail for assault, this could be your chance to get out of here." Naomasa said trying his best to reason with Midoriya
"Detective I deserve to be locked up. . . and I'm sure I won't be allowed to roam free at U.A either." Midoriya argued as he looked straight at the detective
"Maybe you're right, but I have someone here who wants to tell you something." Naomasa said as he signaled Inko to take the phone
"Izuku, I'm glad your ok" Inko said with a smile
"Yea I'm ok, did the detective put you up to this?" Midoriya asked his mother
"Well yes and no, he only asked if I agreed with his suggestion and if it was possible for me to try and convince you, he did not force me or anything." Inko explained
"That's good to hear, but I really don't think this is a good idea," Midoriya replied
"I think it would be much better to be around people your age and not here with these very old men. Plus they said I could visit anytime if you went U.A" Inko said happily
Midoriya let out a long sigh and spoke.
"Fine, but I'm doing it for you, not for them." Midoriya said giving in to his mother's smile.
Inko smiled brightly and passed the phone to Naomasa
"So you'll do it Midoriya?" Naomasa asked once more
"Yes I'll do it, but just know this detective, if my mother gets hurt in any of this you will regret it." Midoriya said coldly hanging up the phone and going back to his cell.
Naomasa shivered at Midoriya's words, but he finally convinced Midoriya to go through with his plan.
Midoriya has finally agreed to do as Naomasa asked, however, what could it possibly be?
A/N I wanted to make Midoriya reflect on his life up until now, I think his mother is the reason he still cares for others. This chapter was rather short but I wanted to make the next one rather long so stay tuned :D
