Chapter two: The book of beginnings: the aftermath

It's been a week since my mother died in my arms and the robber shot me in the shoulder. It was honestly my fault. Those heroes didn't do anything to stop it, but I ended the life of my mother. "Damn those heroes who did nothing!" Izuku muttered.

Now I was angry. My hatred for those heroes cost my mother's life. But these thoughts weren't gonna help me.

Luckily I wasn't alone during this week. Mitsuki and bakugo visited me to keep me company. She brought me Katsudon while Bakugo brought me... insults. So not everything was perfect, but they did make me feel better.

"You better be grateful we're here, nerd!" exclaimed my fellow friend-enemy.

"Thanks, ka-ka-chan," I said gratefully.

Despite being bullied by him I still respect him. His desire to become a hero always inspired me. That's why I want to be his friend. Whatever you may think, he is my friend. Well, and because he lets me call him ka-chan.

"That's enough, Bakugo!" Mitsuki scolds his son.

"He's been through a lot." Bakugo scoffs.

"Whatever," he said as he was leaving the door.

"I'm sorry about my son's behavior." Mitsuki apologizes.

"It's fine, Ka-chan just misses my mom and probably doesn't want to see me like this."

I start to drip tears. I tried to hold them back. But I can't seem to stop them. They're like an endless sea of sadness.

"Hey, it's going to be okay Izuku," said Mitsuki with a genuine soft voice.

I didn't say anything. Her presence felt comforting. I calmed down a bit.

The doctors informed Mitsuki that visiting hours were over.

"Don't worry I'll come and visit when I can," she assured me.

"Thank you, Aunt Mitsuki," I said. After she left I fell back to sleep.

Another week has passed. I mostly recovered, though some parts of my body feel strange. Then the doctors informed me that a couple of men were expecting me. They took me to a room. A man was there. The doctors left after they took me to him.

"Hello Izuku Midoriya" the man formally said

"My name is Aika Sato."

He reached his hand to shake. I took out my hand and shook his hand.

"I'm so sorry about your mother's death," he said with empathy.

"Thank you, sir," was the only thing I could muster.

"Now I don't want to talk about this, but..." he stopped.

"We need to discuss your living condition and what's gonna happen to you," he tried to say without destroying me. But he didn't. I considered this in my deathbed.

"That's okay," I said

The man was surprised at my comment.

"How about I live alone and the government provides me money until I turn 18 when they can stop giving me the money?"

The man pondered

"Is that an option?" I asked nervously

"Yes, it is, are you sure?" asked the man.

'Yep, that's what I want," I said with an innocent smile.

I don't know why. But I did.

"Very well. Then, Izuku Midyoria, you got yourself a deal then."

I was given a drive home. After I made the deal with the man, things moved at a fast pace. I was taken to the apartment my mom owned. But it was mine now. Things never felt the same. Though visits from Matsuki and Bakugo did make my tidy little home more lively. Things surprisingly moved from here. School life was fine, bills were high but not a big deal, and people never cruelly made fun of me. Probably because of the incident that took place.

It's been a month and I was living the best life any kid could dream of. My hatred for heroes was still there. I was disgusted every time I saw a poster or ad of a hero. Especially every time I remembered all Might.

"Always reminding me that I can't become a hero," I said

"At least I don't do it for money or fame."

Remembering that, scratch that. Nothing's fine. Even when things settle down, my anger just builds up. I was ready to take out the heroes.

"No, I shouldn't think such dark thoughts." I convinced myself.

Because of my dreams about my mother's death, I got out of bed and decided to take a walk. The city was very beautiful. Though the city was a ghost town, it didn't bother me. I liked my peace and quiet. I decided to go through an alleyway. Yeah, I guess I didn't learn my lesson, but I was still reeling. Everything was fine until I heard voices. It was the hero, Strong Arm. My teeth gritted. It was the same hero who didn't do anything to save my mother, along with the rest of the heroes.

"Where's my money?" asked the hero viciously.

"Please I just don't have it right now, but-" the hero interrupted him with a punch

"Excuses, excuses," said the arrogant hero.

I couldn't believe what I saw and heard. I always had a hatred for heroes but were always that corrupted. How many people died because of them? How many quirkless people were discriminated against and spat at? Now this "hero" was asking money from an innocent man. And now he gonna suffer the death of my mother-

I remember blood everywhere, and the feeling of guilt and hopelessness.

Now this man was going to suffer the same fate

"Unless," I thought to myself

I charged at the hero. I roared like a lion hunting his prey. It took the hero by surprise because of how I jumped at his back, which made Strong Arm fall back. The man was released from his grip. However, he just stood there not moving.

"Get the hell out of here!" I yelled as I turned my attention to Strong Arm. "You're a good fighter kid," he amends

"Which is why I'll kill you honorably and make a look like a robbery gone wrong." he laughs

"I would like to see you try," I said confidently as I'm reforming in a fighter's stance.

He charges headfirst, but I dodge. Taking advantage of the situation, I stab him with my knife I brought just in case. He screams in agony.
"You're paying for that brat!"

But I don't give him a chance as I stab him in the chest. Blood was spewing everywhere.

"Aha!" he screams.

I wasn't done. I then gave him the strongest kick I could ever give anyone. He staggered backward off guard. I then gave him the finishing blow with a punch that would rival All Might's Texas smash. He was lying there unconscious, with blood all over his body. I realized what I had done.

"God, what have I done!?" I asked myself panicking.

I tried to run away from the situation, but two heroes appeared right in front of me.

"I'm impressed, villain, being able to take out a hero." the figure said with a furrowed frown clenching his fist. He had a silly costume that looked like the silver age of comics. He had two hair-like ears standing up. He was accompanied by a female hero. She had blue hair, a very revealing costume, and a whip. She too had a very furrowed face. It took me a while to figure out who they were. All Might and Mid-night. My hatred reached a boiling point.

"Villain?! Do you guys even do background checks on these heroes?" I pointed to the hero angrily.

"Villains, always making excuses." All might said in disappointment.

"Come in willingly, cutie." She releases pink gas from her body. I guess it was supposed to do something because her face was priceless.

"Impossible! How!?" she asked confusingly.

"Don't believe me, huh? I guess I'll beat some sense into you All might" I said, getting into my fighter stance again.

In truth, I was terrified. All Might's raw strength and speed were enough to knock me on my ass.

"Very well, then, villain." All might complied as he was preparing his Detroit smash. Powerful winds from All Might's Detroit smash were able to blow me away. The wall broke my fall but not very "softly."

"Heh!" I breathed, as I was getting up weakly. I was preparing my attack when something was holding me back.

"So you were the person that knocked out Strong Arm," said a man with goggles, long black hair, and a grey cloth around his neck. He was very moody.

"For a kid, that was very impressive."

I didn't respond to that. I was busy plotting my next move.

"But," he said as he was tightening his cloth around me,
"you must be stopped for what you did."

I struggle but I try not to show that to them. I don't want the person I admired to see me at my weakest. I struggled and struggled, but nothing.

"You can break free all you want," he said in a very moody attitude,

"You'll never escape. You are going to pay for your crimes."

I start showing tears, but then start laughing hysterically.

"Hahaha! I guess you caught me." I then started to grow more desperate.

"I guess you all won." I hysterically laughed uncontrollably. My eyes start turning to a bloody red. "But now I'm going to kill you all."

My hands start touching the cloth. It starts catching on fire. I couldn't control myself.

"Hahaha!"

The trio was terrified of what they were hearing and seeing. They maintained their cool. Luckily for them, I was experiencing complications. One moment, I had powers, the next I didn't. But then I started to pass out again! My eyes turn to green again. And I was falling backward. All was lost. It didn't matter about this mystery. I was going to jail. No future for me.

"I'm sorry, mother," I spoke softly to myself. I was passed out. A black and misty portal formed behind me. Two figures appeared out of the portal.

"Grab the brat! I'll take care of the stupid heroes." ordered a man with blue hair and hands covering his face.

"I understand, sir." complied a man with a black mist covering his face, and very formal clothes.

The trio was chasing after them, but they disappeared along with me.

I woke up but not fully. I couldn't move but I could hear.

"Why the hell would you make us rescue a kid!?" the man with the blue hair exclaimed. "We'll see this kid saved me from the hero, Shigaraki." Shigaraki fought back.

"And why should we care if he saved you or not!?"

"Well, you see this kid defeated the pro hero, Strong Arm." said the man.

Shigaraki was intrigued. But he kept it to himself. "If you say this kid defeated Strong Arm. What is his quirk?"

"I actually never saw this kid use this."

"Are you saying that this kid is quirkless?!" Shigaraki asks in shock.

The man nods.

"Maybe, but I think he was holding back."

At that moment I was waking up fully. I could hear more talking and ordering around.

"Get out of here! I'll see the kid for myself." Shigaraki barks.

"Where am I?," I asked, waking up. Shigaraki face mortified me but didn't show that expression.

"Hello there!" Shigaraki introduces himself

"My name is Shigaraki Tomura."

"And also second head of the league of villains."

Shigaraki said with a confident stance.

End of Chapter two

Author's Note:

I'm sorry that nothing major didn't happen. This was supposed to be a build-up to the league of villains and foreshadowing of what's to come. I hope you enjoyed it. I would love to hear criticism.
