I do not own My Hero Academia or Harry Potter.
Chapter 25
(Kurogiri's Bar)
The silence was unbearable. Kurogiri stared at his phone blankly; he'd gotten a message from Izuku… she wanted to talk. It was a simple request, and that's what bothered him. No phone calls. No excessive texts that were paragraphs long, simply 'Can we talk?' It wasn't even a command, so did he have a choice?
Kurogiri picked up his phone, 'I will have to talk to her eventually.' Biting his lip behind the mist, and smacking his hand to his head, "I'm an imbecile. I should have asked her what class she was in; then I wouldn't have to deal with this." He was nervous about seeing her, 'Will she turn me in if I appear at her apartment? Does she hate me now?'
There was shuffling behind in the back, violently the door to his left swung open. "Must you be so loud, Twice?" Mister Compress asked as he walked through the doorway.
Twice started posing, "What man I'm just showing my colors! Oh god, there's a poster of a cat! Can I have a juice box? No! Liquor! No!" His personalities were all over the place, it was starting to annoy Kurogiri.
"Will you two cease your senseless conversation. My bar is not a playground."
Mister Compress smirked behind his mask, "Why the cold shoulder, my friend? Perhaps you could do for some entertainment?" Compress had a bet with Twice that he could get Kurogiri to laugh. So far, he'd only gotten glares and been warped into the dumpster outback.
"Do not bother me with your dry performance."
Dramatically, Compress cover his heart, "How you wound me! And here I am, a humble entertainer, trying to bring joy into your miserable, gloomy life, and this is how I'm treated?"
Twice sat at the barstool, swinging his feet, "I like entertainment! Ooh! Can you make a rabbit appear from your hat?!" He started slapping his head, "No, you're a shitty performer! I hate you!" Finally, he slammed his head on the counter, "I like pretzels… do we have any?"
Compress, and Kurogiri looked at the man with concern, his episodes were getting worse.
Kurogiri slowly reached under the counter and slid the bag of emergency pretzels over.
"Pretzels!" He grabbed the bag and hugged it. He got up and went into the back to eat in silence. He refused to show any part of his skin in public, his mouth included.
Compress watched his friend head silently to the back, "His episodes are becoming more frequent."
"Hmm… Is he safe to keep around."
"For now. But I'm afraid he's drifting into insanity. To think a man like him has such a powerful quirk… but he can't handle fixing his glove without letting everyone know."
Nobody hated Twice, in fact, it was All for One who brought him in after he found the man crying in a ditch.
Kurogiri looked back at the door, and Twice walk back in… wait… he gave him a giant bag of pretzels, how did he finish it so quick?
"Boy, do I love pretzels! I love waffles too!" He gave a twitch, "Fuck! I'm so pissed I have to work with under that Tomura kid! Can someone trade with me!?"
Compress let loose an irritated sigh, he was in the same boat, "I do not question our Sensei's motives, but I fail to see what he sees in that child." He pulled out a half-destroyed pocket watch, "Look at what he did to my watch! It was my favorite!" That boy got under his skin like no other, sure he didn't get along with Kurogiri, but he'd deal with the mist-man any day. Tomura was cruel and view him as a pawn, just to order around. If it weren't for Sensei, he'd gleefully imprison the boy in one of his orbs.
"A pity." Was Kurogiri's dull response, "I have to leave soon. So unless you have something important to tell me, leave." Behind closed doors, Kurogiri would never admit this, but he'd consider these two his closest friends because they resented Tomura just as much as him.
"You? Leaving early?" Compress asked, "I don't recall Master giving you a mission… perhaps you'd care to enlighten us?"
"That is none of your concern. Now good day."
"Your choice. Honestly, Kurogiri, do you know how to address a showman? Hmm… perhaps that suit is a bit misleading of your true personality." Standing up, Compress grabbed Twice's arm, leading him out the front.
Once they left, Kurogiri let loose an irritated sigh, "Why must I be surrounded by imbeciles?" Waving his hand, he opened a warp gate and stepped inside. Unbeknownst to him, a certain entertainer was waiting in silence.
(SoHo Apartments)
Kurogiri popped his head out of the warp gate and looked around, there was no one. Stepping fully through his portal, he looked up towards Izuku's apartment and shook a little.
He was so preoccupied he didn't notice two men slip through his warp gate and take cover behind a bench.
Silently, he walked towards the stairs and blindly lead himself towards Izuku's home. All the while, two villains trailed him.
(Inside Izuku's Apartment)
Izuku was sitting on her couch, she was doing the homework assigned by Aizawa. 'I was expecting something a bit harder than parametric equations.' Its been a week since she took the teachers to the Ministry, and she's been invited to the teacher's lounge by several of the staff members. Midnight, for example, had asked her such casual questions; it made Izuku question if the woman saw her as a student. The woman seemed particularly interested in her marriage proposals.
Then there was Snipe and Cementoss, who invited her on Tuesday. Cementoss talked to her about ancient runes and personally asked her for lessons. The man loved literature, and he found the concept of runes fascinating. As for Snipe, he asked her about riding on brooms. She explained to him what quidditch was, and he's been hooked ever since.
Then there was her own teacher, Aizawa. He actually talked to her yesterday. He'd noticed immediately during the training how she was struggling, he wanted to get to the bottom of it. It was there she explained the difficulty of casting wandless magic. However, he's noticed her acting strange. He'd even caught her in the halls just blindly standing there while Bakugo walked away, her eyes were white. She told him it was something wizards did, but he didn't believe it. Unbeknownst to her, he's been becoming increasingly interested in her in 'relationship' with Bakugo. Could you even call it that? The boy was always glaring at her, and had some smart remark it was really starting to piss him off. What he hated the most about the boy was his arrogance, it put All Might's showboating to shame.
There was a knock at her front door. Getting up, she made her way to the door and opened it, only certain people knocked on her door, then again, only certain people could see it.
Shortly after opening it, she was greeted with a familiar purple mist.
The two just stood there in silence, neither knew what to say. An awkward feeling filled the air. Izuku decided to break it, "Would you like to come in?" She asked slowly.
Kurogiri jumped a bit when he heard her speak, he was beyond nervous. "Umm… I…" Instead of waiting to listen to what he had to say, she grabbed his misty hand and pulled him inside.
Reaching the living room, Izuku took her seat on the couch and looked up at her friend, who was still standing. "You can make yourself at home, Kuro-san." She waved to the seat across from her.
"T~thank you… young one." Taking a seat, he cleared his throat, "I… I'm not quite sure what to say." He shook his head, "W~what I mean is that? Uh… My job… it's not~" He was all over the place.
"I'm not mad."
Kurogiri froze mid-sentence, "I~I'm sorry?"
Giving him a warm smile, "I'm not mad at you."
Like a child, he tapped his fingers together, "You're not?" How was she so calm? He thought she would be screaming and crying because of his betrayal.
"I know you're sorry… I mean… why else would you come here?"
He began shaking again, he was so confused, "I… I'm sorry. I never wanted you to find out about this. You weren't supposed to be there so I~."
Again she stopped him, "It's okay, Kuro-san. I understand why you didn't tell me."
"You do?"
"I don't think telling your friend that you're a villain is an easy conversation to bring up." She ran her fingers through her hair, "I'll admit. I was angry at you when I first found out, but… then I realized from your perspective, telling me wouldn't have been easy." She looked lost in thought, "I haven't been completely honest with you as well… so how could I be angry at you for keeping a secret when I'm doing the exact same thing."
"And… what secret is that?"
Giving a quick smile, she lifted her hand and snapped her finger, a small light came from the tips. There was a shuffling sound from the kitchen, looking over, he saw two cups fly over. One of the cups poured a dark liquid into the cup, it then landed in front of him. A bottle of cream levitated over and poured a precise amount into his cup.
The wondrous smell hit his nose, and he immediately recognized what was in front of him, 'Coffee.' Smoked beans with a little bit of chicory. Shaking his head, he looked between Izuku and the cups, "Y~you but… you said you were quirkless? Also, at the USJ you were teleporting and~"
"I know, I know." She gave a pitiful smile, "I'm sorry I deceived you. But I didn't lie… I am quirkless." She could tell he was confused, "Seeing as how I know about you being a villain, I want to make you a deal."
"Y~Yes?"
"I won't tell anyone I know you, not that I would, so long as you don't tell anyone what I am."
He nodded his head, "And?"
Clearing her throat, "I'm a witch."
"Huh?" Did she get bonked on the head? Before he could question her, she pulled out the white stick from the USJ.
"I know you think I'm crazy, but I do have proof. And no, I did not get hit on the head."
"How did you~"
She rolled her eyes, "Everyone, I've told this too, thinks the same, so I've come prepared." Pointing her wand at her cup, she gave it a flick. A wisp shot out, and the cup shook before it split into two separate cups, then four… and eight… then sixteen. The cups were multiplying at an alarming rate, Kurogiri had to stand up and take a step back.
Waving her wand again, all the furniture in the room levitated off the ground. A piece of paper from her notebook ripped itself out and formed into a paper bird, it was even whistling.
"Finite!" A golden wave passed the room, and everything went back to normal. The furniture floated back to the ground, and the cups formed back into a single cup. Looking back at him, she noticed he was frozen, and his lighting eyes didn't blink. "Kuro-san?" She waved her hand in front of his face, but he still didn't move. "Hello? Kuro-san? Are you still with me?"
Coming back to reality, he bent down, "H~how di~did you, uh?" He couldn't believe what was happening. 'N~no this… this isn't real. She has to have a quirk like Sensei. There is no such thing as magic.' He timidly leaned his head down, "I~I are you certain you don't have a quirk. It's just that… I've met people who have multiple quirks and~"
Again he was interrupted by Izuku. For the next few minutes, she showed him more proof of magic, from apparating, brewing a simple potion, levitating on her broom, even transfiguring into a small green rabbit. It was after her transformation did Kurogiri finally come to accept what she was saying. He was, unfortunately, stubborn in her earlier attempts and kept trying to make excuses, even when she hovered on her broom.
Kurogiri sat on her couch and stared at the green rabbit in front of him, "I think I've gone insane." The rabbit ears folded towards her head, indicating her annoyance in his stubbornness. "I~I'm sorry," the glare he received from her was intimidating, 'I've faced countless men in my lifetime, and here I am sitting on a couch terrified of a green rabbit.' He held up his hands, "Forgive me, Midoriya, this is… a lot to take in."
Instantly the small little ears rose up, she backed up before jumping off the table and changed back, "It's understandable, but do you finally believe me when I say I'm a witch?"
Instead of giving a response, Kurogiri pointed to the top of his head, 'Why is he?' Reaching up, she felt the rabbit ears on top of her head, "Uh~ sorry! I'm not the best at transfiguration when it comes to humans!" She ran across the room and opened a cupboard, inside was a jar. Unscrewing the lid, she poured the golden dust on her green rabbit ears. The ears twitched before they shrunk into non-existence. "I'm sorry you had to see that. As I said, transfiguration isn't my strong suit."
He waved his hand, "I'm sorry, I'm still confused about something."
She walked over, "Yes, what is it?"
"If you're a… witch?" Saying that was foreign to the tongue, "How come you didn't tell me before?" Did she think he'd judge her? This is one of the greatest secrets he's come to learn, and Sensei will… Wait… does he know? His mind went into overdrive, 'Does Master know about her secret? Is this is why he wanted me to watch her? What if he doesn't know? Sensei seemed only interested in her analysis of heroes and utilizing her notes. 'Do… do I tell him?'
"I didn't tell you about me being a witch because it's illegal." She then went on to explain the Statute of Secrecy and why she couldn't tell people. "I've actually been wanting to tell you for a long time."
This caught his attention, "You have? And what seems to have changed your mind into revealing this to me?"
"Nothing. It's just, you're my friend, and I don't want to keep secrets from you." She gave him a million-dollar smile.
"I… well… thank you, young one. I can imagine this isn't easy for you, but nevertheless, I appreciate your truthfulness." This is the same amount of trust he's been given from All for One, as dark as he may seem, the man was never one to lie. Reaching up, he patted the top of her head, "I would like to formally apologize for not telling you about my… job."
She giggled at his attempt to apologize, "You formally apologize? You don't have to be so formal around me, Kuro-san, and as I said, I'm not mad." Their bonding moment was cut short by someone knocking on the front door, "I have to get that, I'll be right back."
When she reached the front door, she could swear she heard giggling on the other side, 'Hmmm… I wonder who it is Hiko-san, Toshi, Sensei, or is it~' Opening the door, she noticed two unfamiliar men standing there. 'Strange, they shouldn't be able to see my door unless they saw someone walk in.'
Twice and Compress were surprised to see a beautiful woman open to the door for them. She had long green hair, her face held a natural beauty to it, and the rest of her body was something models would die to have. Compress cleared his throat, "Good Evening my dear, we are sorry to bother you at this time of night, but we're looking for our companion Kurogiri?"
Twice nodded his head violently, "Ya doll face, have you seen him? Oooh! Her hair is green; that's pretty cool man."
Izuku was startled by both of them, and what really caught her attention was their costumes. "Oh! You mean Kuro-san?" Both men froze at the nickname, "He's inside, would you like to come in? Any friend of Kuro-san is a friend of mine."
This wasn't the response they were expecting. Also, didn't this girl realize how dangerous it is to let two strangers into your home? They could be lying? Compress bowed his head, "Thank you, we only wish to check on him, he was acting… different, before he left." Both men walked inside and felt their bodies compress before it let up. 'Strange, I feel different.'
Izuku leads the two strange men into the living room, where Kurogiri was still sitting. After walking in, the mist-man stood up and was shaking, "What are you two doing here!?"
Compress shook his head, "Oh come now Kurogiri, here we came all this way to check on you, and this is how we are treated? Again, sir, you wound me."
Twice looked around, "Hey man, does this place seem bigger on the inside? Oh well! Oooh, what's that smell!?" He lightly slapped his cheeks, Izuku was starting to worry for the strange man.
Kurogiri marched over and started yelling at Compress for following him, Izuku stood there awkwardly. Looked over at Twice, the man was very tall, "So you're friends of Kuro-san?"
Twice turned and gave a salute, "Yes, mame!"
"That's nice." Kurogiri was still yelling at Compress. "I'm Izuku, and you are?"
"You can call me Twice! I know, I'm dashing!"
"Well, it's nice to meet you Twice," She held out a hand, "Would you like something to eat or drink?"
"Oooh! Do you have pretzels?" He asked as he shook her hand violently.
"Yep! C'mon." She took him into the kitchen and opened a drawer, "Here they are." She handed Twice a bag of pretzels.
"Ya, man! I love me some pretzels." He lifted up his mask to expose his mouth and started eating.
Izuku giggled at his very eccentric personality, "Would you like some tea or coffee?"
"Tea?" He made a gagging sound, "Naw, tea ain't my stuff. Fuck tea!" His change in demeanor was an eye-opener.
"Well… have you tried cinnamon tea?"
"Cinnamon!? Where? Cinnamon is the shit! Ugh, why can't I think!?" He banged his head on the fridge. Izuku winced as she heard the smashing sound his head made. Walking over to the stove, she poured a small cup of tea. Looking back, she noticed he was still hitting his head on her fridge. Once she pours the tea in a small cup, she slid a small vile out of her sleeve, 'This should help him calm down.' It was a yellow liquid, she quickly poured it in, "Here you go, Mister, Twice. If you drink it, I'll give you another bag of pretzels, or do you like waffles." She was getting a Deadpool vibe from him.
The man stopped hitting and looked at the tea, "Waffles?" He loved that more than he did pretzels, but Kurogiri would never make him any. Grabbing the cup, he started drinking the tea. It had a combination of cinnamon and peppermint. Shortly his head began to feel… calm. The screaming and shouts of his different personalities just seemed to stop, they were still there, but they've just stopped arguing.
"Are you feeling better?"
Twice blinked before looking back at the tea, "My head feels… funny." It didn't hurt, why didn't it hurt?
"I'm sure it will pass. Now would you still like some waffles?"
He nodded his head furiously, "Man, I haven't had waffles in years! Kurogiri is an ass for not introducing us!" There was scuffling sound as Kurogiri and Compress ran into the kitchen to check on Twice. They hadn't realized the two had walked away.
"You two will leave right now!" Kurogiri yelled.
Izuku tapped him on the shoulder, "Calm down Kuro-san, they just wanted to check on you. Besides, I promised Twice I'd make him some waffles."
'How does she know his name!? Did he tell her?' He didn't want these two being her friends. "They are leaving, aren't you?" he glared at Compress.
"Hmm… well, the young lady has been kind enough to offer Twice some food. You wouldn't want him to be upset about not getting waffles now, would you?" He smirked behind the mask.
Izuku had walked up to Compress and was giving him a strange look, "Do I know you?"
He tilted his head, "I think I'd remember meeting a lovely lady."
Compress had to take a step back when she started squealing while jumping up and down, "You're Atsuhiro, the Entertainer!"
Kurogiri was shaking in rage, "H~how, do you know him?"
Still, unfazed my Kurogiri's anger or Atsuhiro's surprise, she pointed at him, "I went to his magic shows as a little kid! Oh my gosh! Can I have your autograph? Kuro-san, why didn't you tell me you were friends with him!?" When she was a little girl, Inko used to take her to see muggle magic shows, and Mister Compress was her favorite. Most people thought his acts were boring because they knew he was just using a quirk, but Izuku still thought he was amazing.
Compress looked over at Kurogiri and gave the man a smug smile, "Now you have been keeping a fan of mine in that dark? Oh, we do have to work on your manners, 'Kuro-san.'" He turned back to Midoriya, "And I'd be happy to give a dedicated fan my autograph!" Honestly, he was surprised he even had any left. He has only known this girl for five minutes, but he would definitely consider her a friend, "Perhaps you'd like a private show in your living room? I still have a few tricks up my sleeves."
Twice appeared in front of him. He was shaking his finger back and forth, "No way, man! She said she'd make me waffles if I drank some tea."
The two continued to argue; meanwhile, Kurogiri pulled Izuku into the living room. She looked at him strangely, "Kuro-san, are you okay?"
"No, I am not." His lighting eyes were going wild, "Please young Midoriya, these are not the type of people you want to be around."
"But they seem so nice?" She gave him an innocent look. As intelligent as she was, she still hadn't drawn the connection that the two were villains.
"Midoriya, do you not understand my involvement with these two idiots?"
"You are friends?" She scratched her head.
"Ugh!" This was all going south, "Let me elaborate. You know I am a villain… correct?"
"Mhm." She nodded her head, 'What does that have to do with~' Her eyes widened a bit, and she glanced back towards the kitchen before looking back at Kurogiri, "T~they are villains as well?" He nodded, 'How stupid could I be!?' She thought it was strange that they were wearing costumes, but her mind was such a scrambled mess; she didn't draw the conclusion. "Are they… um… But I'm confused, they seem nice."
"It's complicated young Midoriya. Please let us leave right now. You shouldn't get involved with~."
"Involved with what?" Atsuhiro asked as he appeared behind him.
"Nothing!" Kurogiri was have tempted to warp his body in half, "You have no business being here."
"Hmmm… Then may I ask? Why are you here?" Compress looked at Izuku, "Forgive this argument, my dear, I think Kurogiri's table manners need dusting."
Izuku put a hand on both their shoulders, "Why don't we all just sit down? Please?" She gave them a puppy dog look. Grudgingly, they all sat down.
Twice put his feet over the side of the couch, swinging his legs like a child. "I feel so good, man! Can I have more tea? Ooh! And some waffles? Waffles and tea sound amazing!" The other two gagged at the thought of it.
Izuku nodded her head, "Sure, would you two like some as well?"
"No thank you, my dear, but if you happen to have some coffee, I would be forever in your favor." Again, he made a dramatic bow. Kurogiri, on the other hand, sulked in his seat.
Before she could head to the kitchen, there was another knock on the front door, "Ugh! Why does everyone visit at the same time?" Sometimes her house felt like a pub house. "Excuse me, gentleman, I have to get this." She walked away and left the three villains on her couch.
Compress watched her leave, and he turned back to Kurogiri, "Hmmm… So this is where you have been hurrying off to. Tell me, is she your girlfriend, perhaps?"
"No, she isn't. Unlike you, she's actually a close friend. You had no right to follow me."
"Come now, Kuro-san, what harm is there in introducing us to a lovely lady?" They heard a giggle from down the halls as Izuku started to come back.
"Listen here, you worthless excuse for a man. When she comes back, you will leave because if you don't, I swear I'll~" He couldn't finish his sentence as his throat locked up.
Compress and Twice were confused by him freezing up, 'Why is he?'
"I'm back. Everyone I'd like you to meet Sensei." Izuku said as she walked in, holding a man's hand.
Compress and Twice looked over, and their bodies locked up. Standing before them was… Sensei… their Master, their leader! The infamous All for One. What terrified them the most was the insidious glare he gave each of them. His red eyes were shining, and his teeth were starting to show as he gave a slight snarl.
Compress slowly turned his head back to Kurogiri, "I~I… I would like to go now." He said very quietly.
(Earlier)
All for One walked out of the Nomu facility. For the past five hours, he has been reprogramming the minds of the Nomu, one by one. His fingertips ached, and his mind felt numb from overusing his quirk, 'Now they will never bring any harm to my little one.' He gritted his teeth, 'I'm a fool! How could I forget something so important? If she hadn't been able to punch the Nomu at the USJ I… I...' He hated to think what would have happened. He was actually going to go and visit her, but he had one person to deal with, Tomura. The boy had tried to dissolve his little one's face.
After a few minutes of walking, he set foot into his tower. The lobby was grand, and the staff was doing their best to keep the guests happy. He might be a villain, but all organizations need money, unlike others who deal in drug cartels, he sought a less noticeable form of income. Pro-heroes were too stupid to think a powerful villain would run a successful hotel. Walking towards the elevators, he found some of the staff staring at him, fear evident. He's made it very clear to never overstep him, and if anyone were to leak anything to the police, they would join the Nomu.
A timid man approached All for One. He was a head shorter than him and had grey hair, "S~sir?"
"What is it?" His patience was already worn thin.
"I~I uh…" He quickly cleared his throat, "We've finished the construction of the pool for the guests," He flipped a few pages from the notebook in his hands, "We've also found asbestos on the 33rd floor, would you like it removed? This will, unfortunately, force us to close the grand suites located on the floor."
All for One pressed the call button for the elevator, "Fix the asbestos problem and give the guests of that floors upgrade rooms. If they ask why, tell them, it's because of construction reasons." If people found out there was asbestos, that could be a loss of business.
"Y~yes, sir. Right away, sir!" The man gave a bow before running off, he could tell All for One was not in the mood.
Getting into the elevator, he hit a button and went up to the top floor.
Finally, he reached the door to Tomura's room. Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm his senses, if he didn't, he knew he'd slaughter the boy before he had a chance to speak. He's had quite a bit of time to think about Tomura and what he'd done.
Opening the door, he walked into the small apartment. He noticed some of the furniture was disintegrated, 'I am not paying for another couch, this is the 12th time.' The boy needed to learn to control his quirk.
"Tomura!" He shouted for the boy. There was immediate scuffing sound as the teen came out of the hallway. Even though the hand covered his face, All for One could tell he was terrified, good. "Take a seat, boy." Tomura's bare feet sounded as he walked over to the half-destroyed couch and sat down.
"Master?" his voice echoed in fear, All for One has never shouted before.
Looking back, All for One glared at him, "You had no reason to attack the students at the USJ. Do you not realize that by doing that, you've just strengthened them?" The plan was only to kill All Might, it was Kurogiri's rash thinking for sending them across the USJ. 'He should have just let them go.'
"It would have broken All Might."
Again, he got another glare, "No, it wouldn't."
"Hmh?"
"Do you think that by blindly killing people that will break him? If that were true, I'd be out slaughtering millions. No. It only makes him more dedicated. It gives him more of a reason to show off his power and fame." He took a step back, "Perhaps you need a bit of an eye-opener, my boy." His right hand caught fire while his left transformed into a cannon, "Killing innocent people is not what my order is about. We aren't heroes, but we're not monsters either. Consider yourself lucky boy, if you had killed that student at the USJ, like Kurogiri said, you'd be joining her."
He backed up on the couch in fear, his Master had never been this angry before. "Th~they were future he~heroes. I was weeding them out before they became a nuisance."
"A nuisance?" There was an edge in his deep voice, "Lately, you have been a nuisance Tomura. You've compromised two of my facilities, lost our Nomu, and nearly killed someone without my permission. So tell me, Tomura, under your logic, why shouldn't I just weed you out before you become a problem?"
The boy just shook in fright. In all the years he's known All for One, he's never threatened him. Nor has he ever raised his voice and reprimand him like a child.
All for One leaned down and snarled a bit, his eye glowed unnaturally, "I want to make myself very clear, Teno." the boy nodded. Sensei never used his real name, "You're on very thin ice. So thin that the only thing stopping you from falling in is that I took a deep breath before walking in here. If you cause one more accident, I'll splatter your body across this room and make you wish I'd turned you into a Nomu." He moved his arm and shot a cannon at the gaming system. "Be grateful; it's only that." He walked past the couch, "And clean up this mess, I'm not having any of the maids come near you." The boy's killed two, "And find your own food for now." Reaching the door, he grabbed the handle and turned around, "It's time you've learned to take care of yourself."
His little one has been taking care of herself since she was a little girl. If she could do it, then so could he.
Without another word, he walked out and slammed the door shut.
Tomura sat there looking at the door, slowly, a frown appeared, and he gritted his teeth, "I. Hate. You." his hand gripped the couch, and slowly it broke down. "She's taken, my Master… she's ruined everything." If he wanted him to grow up then fine, a crooked smile appeared, "I'll show you how grown up I am… You'll join that worthless girl too." In his mind, All for One was too far gone, so it was his duty to do the next best thing. "You'll understand Master. If you were right of mind, you'd accept my choice… I'll kill you."
(Present)
All for One froze when he saw the three men in Izuku's living room. His headache from before came back, and he felt his face scrunch up. 'What are they doing there!?' His crimson eyes drilled into Twice and Compress. He could understand Kurogiri being here but not them.
"I'm back. Everyone I'd like you to meet Sensei." Izuku said as she smiled at them. She was so focused on their reactions; she didn't see the insidious look on All for One's face.
Compress was shaking, "I~I… I would like to go now."
Forcing his face into a neutral expression, Sensei leaned down and tapped Izuku on the shoulder, "Excuse me, little one, but would you happen to have some tylenol? My head is a bit heavy right now."
What he did next almost made Compress and Twice faint, even Kurogiri… he was… smiling? All for One was smiling! Compress looked at Twice, "D~did he call her little one?" Immediately, he found an invisible force choking him. All for One clenched the fist behind his back as he cut off his airway.
"Sure, I'll be right back." She skipped off to the bathroom, looking for the medicine.
As soon as she left, he walked over to the couch and glared at his two subordinates, "And what are you two doing here?" A vein was poking out of his head. He glanced over at Kurogiri, "Explain, now!" His voice had gotten deeper than what they thought possible.
Kurogiri bowed and looked at the ground, "T~they followed me through my warp gate Master. Please forgive me. I~I told them to leave."
Two clawed hands clung to Compress, and Twice, they painfully dug past their skin. "Let me make myself clear. You will not mention my relations while we're here." Compress gritted his teeth as his quirk was assaulted, "If either one of you mentions this place, I will turn you both into Nomus." Twice nodded his head, blood was leading inside his costume, "When she comes back in, you with both leave and never come back."
As soon as he let go of their shoulders, Izuku walked back in, "I found the Tylenol… are you guys okay?" Kurogiri, Compress, and Twice were all shaking.
All for One cracked a grin, "We are fine little one. Aren't we gentlemen?"
"F~fine!" Kurogiri said.
Compress nodded vigorously, "Yes, very fine! UH… I… I think it's time my companion and I left."
Izuku looked confused, "But you just got here? Oh, please, can you stay!?" She walked in front of him and cupped her hands, "I still have so many questions about your shows. Please, can you stay for just a few more minutes?"
"Uh~uh~I um…" He slowly looked behind her, Sensei's face clearly told him to leave, "I~I would love to~bu, but I really must be going, my dear," His throat tightened again as All for One used a quirk on him, "Perhaps another time."
She gave a disappointed look but decided to let it go, "Alright. But please feel free to visit any time." Compress and Twice quickly got up from their seats and went towards the front door.
When they left, Izuku looked at Kurogiri, "I wish you'd brought your friends over sooner, Kuro-san, they are so nice." She wasn't sure what it was, but she loved the Deadpool vibe from Twice, and it just seemed to lighten the room. And Compress was such a gentleman.
Sensei placed a hand on her shoulder, "Forgive me for asking little one, but how do you know those two?"
She waved her hand towards a shaking Kurogiri, "Those were his friends, they just came to check on him… Oh, where are my manners? Sensei, this is Kurogiri."
He lifted a misty hand, "A~a pleasure s~sir."
"Indeed." Was Sensei's response. "Now, may someone tell me what happened before I got here?" Izuku gave him a confused look before she blindly recalled the events that lead up to now. "Little one…" He had to hold himself back, "You shouldn't just let strangers into your home just because they say they know someone."
"I… I'm sorry." She blushed and tapped her fingers together, "They just seemed so nice. Well… anyways they did know Kuro-san, so it's okay!" Holding up a finger, "Besides, I don't think they would fare well against a witch."
All for One frowned, "Izuku, you shouldn't~" Why was she an open book tonight? Kurogiri was right there!
"It's okay. Kuro-san knows."
Kurogiri slowly nodded his head, his Master's glare intensified, "She told me before you came in. I'll admit I'm still having trouble believing it." He wanted to leave. Words couldn't describe how much he wanted to leave.
The awkwardness in the room was broken by Izuku's giggling, "This is great! I'm so happy you both know about my powers. Now I don't have to watch what I say." She sat on the couch, "I can't believe I finally get to introduce you two. It's so strange, I've known you both for years, but you've never run into each other."
"Indeed… that is strange little one." Sensei sat down next to her and casually draped an arm over her shoulders, it made Kurogiri's mind break.
'Master he?… master has never touched someone like that.' his heart rate increased. Behind the purple mist, he was drenched in sweat.
"Please, Kurogiri, how is it you know little one?"
"Um~well I." He could tell behind the forced smile, his Master was furious. What scared him the most, however, was how close he seemed with Izuku. She was smiling at him, having him call her little one, it was too much. The fact they had to pretend they didn't know each other was going to be hard, 'If she finds out I know him, she'll eventually figure out who Sensei really is.' His reputation was already damaged because of the USJ, but he doubted All for One would tell her his connection to it.
(1 hour later)
"I'm afraid it's time for me to leave young Midoriya," Kurogiri said as he got up. He's been wanting to leave for the longest time.
"Aww, do you have too?"
"Yes. I have some matters to attend to."
Sensei placed his hand back on Izuku's shoulder, "It's been a pleasure meeting you. Perhaps next time it won't be under such… dissatisfying circumstances." If looks could kill, he would have been dead an hour ago.
"I agree." He said shakenly.
Izuku looked between the two, "Are you guys alright. You seem… tense." And what was so dissatisfying? 'I wasn't a bad hostess, was I?'
"It's nothing too worry about young Midoriya, now please excuse me." He waved his hand, but nothing happened, 'huh?'
"Oh, you won't be able to do that here. Any type of teleportation quirk or spell won't work here." She didn't want someone randomly appearing in her home without permission.
"I see." He bowed his head, "Then I shall do this outside. Thank you for the lovely evening." He glanced at his leader, 'It… it seems Midoriya is far more important to All for One than I originally thought.' He's happy he doesn't have to tell him about Izuku's secret, seeing as how he already knows. But he knew there was something more coming from Sensei's end. The man never smiles, and he even allowed Izuku to wipe a bit of dust off his face. She touched his face! If he tried to do that, he'd be scattered across the room. It scared him that he didn't know what his master's plans were for the girl. No doubt she's caught his interest in magic, then again, who wouldn't be interested? He still had millions of questions, but Sensei might fill him in later… that's if he's not murdered beforehand.
Once he left, Izuku turned to Sensei, who was still irritated. "Sensei? Your veins are popping out." Reaching up, she traced a bulging vein on his forehead. Had it been anyone else touching him, they could kiss their life goodbye. "Would you like a potion for your headache instead? I would have offered it, but those two muggles from earlier don't know about me being a witch."
All for One shivered as she continued to touch his face, did she not realize how much this broke his restraints? "No thank you, little one, I'm fine." And here he was looking forward to a quiet evening with her. 'My patience is certainly being tested today.'
Izuku stopped touching the vein and thought of something, "Well, how about this?" Stepping on her toes, she rubbed his head, hoping it stopped his headache. Her heart started beating faster, and her cheeks had a dust of pink, 'H~his hair feels so nice and soft.'
The moment she started rubbing his head, he had to bite his tongue. She was testing his patience as well, but on a different scale. "Little one… that feels divine.' He sat down on the couch and let her continue to message his head, "That actually does help little one… far more than you imagine." His irritation from the day just seemed to disappear as she continued. She ran her fingers through his short brown hair, her fingertips skillfully massaged his aching head. Izuku was standing right in front of him as she rubbed his head, so it gave him a perfect view of her body. 'What I'd give to take you right now, little one. To make you scream in ecstasy and beg for release.' A smile formed on his face, and his eyes started to dilate, 'I'll make you mine Izuku… you're all mine.'
His body started heating up, and perverted thoughts consumed his mind. 'What's to stop me from taking you right now little one?' Looking at her face, she was focused on messaging his head… and he noticed the delicious blush staining her cheeks. 'Perhaps you want it just as much as I do?' All for One was screaming at him to take her. Just make her his once and for all, and the offer was sounding good. He just wanted to wrap her tiny body in his chest while he devoured her moans. To feel her luscious lips against his, and have her kiss the side of his face while telling him how much she loved him… and he wanted it. 'I could just pull her, and she'd be kissing me.' his throat went dry, 'One tug and I'd finally have my little one.' That tingling sensation passed through his heart, 'Perhaps I was wrong about finding a successor. I think what I really needed was a strong, beautiful queen to rule beside me.' With her at his side, he'd be unstoppable.
"Sensei?"
His brilliant, kind, little one ruling with him. Maybe if he told her how he sought to bring order to the world, she'd join?
"Sensei?" Izuku waved her hand in front of his face, "Are you there?"
"Hmmm?" He came back to reality, "Yes, little one, I am perfectly fine." He stretched his arms backward, and they both heard a few painful pops from his back, "Perhaps I should come to you whenever I have a headache. You seem to have a magical touch." He cracked a grin. Now she became a stuttering mess and tried to speak, but it all came out in mumbled words. 'There, she goes again. Slowly breaking my restraints.' At this point, he started to question why he was holding back, 'But it's too soon. I don't know her feelings yet.' He wasn't going to make an advance and have it compromise their relationship. However, that didn't mean he wasn't going to tease her and make her blush at every chance he got. Reaching up, his large hands held her waist, they fit perfectly, "I truly appreciate all that you do for me little one, perhaps next week you'd care to join me in Tokyo?"
When his hands grabbed her waist, she felt a desire build-up in her nether region. 'H~his hands, they're so big and warm.' She'd question why he was holding her waist, but at the same time, she didn't want him to let go. "A~and what would we be doing in Tokyo?"
He stood up and patted the top of her head, "Why enjoying the sights little one. I figure you'd like for us to meet somewhere other than your home?" He did miss when they trained at Dagoba Beach, he didn't feel confined to one place.
She thought about what he said, "That… that does sound nice, actually." And he was right, they were always meeting at her place. "And maybe I could show you some of the magical places in Tokyo? I haven't been able to show you too much, and I bet you're probably still curious about magic." Her entire body shook as he gave a hearty and dark chuckle, 'H~his voice is so deep and smooth.' If there was one thing she'd admit she loved about Sensei, it would be his voice. His voice was far deeper than most, and when he spoke, it just made her knees weak. All Might also had a deep voice, but it was just different.
"You are quite right." He allowed his fingers to linger in the soft hair on her head, "Shall we meet here before departing to Tokyo then?"
"S~sure… we could apparate from here and save us the journey."
"Then, I look forward to next week." He checked the time, "I think it's time I left, though."
"Wait, before you go." Her face went pink again, "Since you're always visiting, I thought I'd give you this." She gave him a key that was connected to… a mini-All Might? Why would she hand him that garbage? "T~this is the key to my apartment. I figured it would be easier for you to just walk in instead of having to wait for me to answer the door."
He gave her a smile, "Thank you, little one. I'll be sure to only come in when appropriate. But," He pointed to the mini All Might, "What is this?"
"Oh, I wanted to add an accessory to your keychain, so I decided to give you All Might. I mean, he's such an amazing hero." Sensei might be a villain, but he had to like admire All Might to some degree, right? "And you'll be happy to know I've enchanted it, so it will never break!"
He looked at the keyring and noticed he couldn't even slide the thing off. "I~ uh… thank you, little one. I appreciate the accessory." He said through clenched teeth. He wasn't about to hurt her feelings, she was just trying to be considerate. 'Why did she have to enchant it?' His next option was to smash it and say it broke when he 'dropped' it.
The two exchanged their goodbyes, and ultimately, Sensei was walking down the stairs towards the base of the SoHo complex. At the bottom were three people, they were terrified, "Now… would you care to explain in finer detail what happened?" His glowing eyes and clawed hands made them want to run away. Nobody was even brave enough to question why his hair looked ruffled.
(Author Note)
I would like to wish everyone A Merry Christmas, hopefully you like this chapter. Also on a side note, I would like it to be know I am changing a few things in this story, compared to the manga. I know Twice and Compress came in contract will the League of Villain because of Giran, but I felt that with quirks like theirs Sensei would find them. It also seems like Tomura has changed some plans of his own. I would also like to give credit to 'gemava' on the keychain idea.
(Review Response)
Ren Woods: Again, I'm sorry for not giving you a heads up last chapter with the smut. I'll try to give you a better warning next time. I hope you have a great Christmas!
Alyssa Namikaze Uchiha: We finally have a Sensei chapter, I also appreciate the kiss, but a hug can do. Am I really your favorite? Awww ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ For that you shall receive a hug from this little guy.
FaeGhostReader: You're Christmas wish has been granted. Hopefully you enjoyed the chapter!
MhwahaHoliday: *Gasp* I fear the day Aizawa and Snape meet. The glaring between the two might be so strong it rips a hole in time and space. *Sets up lawn chair* Well I'm going to watch how this all unfolds. Popcorn? *Passes you popcorn*
Issei: If you're wondering, yes, this story is up on Ao3. Same author and tittle of the story.
Xireana Prime: I can't wait till Sensei finds out her age too. No doubt it's going to slip out one of these days. And yes... the manga has reveal All for One's last name ;) I wonder how many people are going to rush and see what it is, or wait for Sensei to tell Izuku.
MosesArk Reborn2000: You're right, the teachers sure did get a good taste of the magical world. And I bet Aizawa and Mic did get a kick out of Midnight acting like a little girl, the woman who seemed so fierce and brave. I can only imagine how they will react to Bakugo's bullying or the obscures... if they ever find out. As for All Might... I think he really enjoys the idea of Izuku retaining her natural beauty for a few hundred years.
Pri-Chan 1410: I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter. I hope this one is just as good, poor All Might... lets hope he makes the first move, but who knows, maybe Sensei will take her first?
Icewolf9879: I'm glad you like the idea about the vault. I know that they could have just exchanged their money right at the counter, but it was the dragon pox idea that popped into my mind. It just seemed like the most logical reason for them to head to the vault. Also... who says they didn't have to drag Nezu out of Flourish and Blotts? ;)
gemava: Merry Christmas! I hope you've enjoyed this chapter. As you can also see, you're keychain idea has made it into the story, it honestly sounded like such a wonderful situation.
