Izuku sat in the office of Principal Nedzu, the man had him analyzing prolific villains this week, once he was done here he had to go to Tartarus and pick up quirks for Jiro, Mina, and Sero. That being said he kind of wanted to keep one of the new ones, he could always offer Sero one of his current ones if he wanted too.
"Hmm these are excellent deductions Izuku, the foresight on how to deal with this particular group will be extremely valuable to the police. Especially this section on their MO, even the police hadn't noticed that every single drug deal had been made within 20km of this one warehouse. I'll make sure Tsukauchi sends you his thanks. Now what do you say to a game of chess? I've been finding myself bored without any good opponents lately and I have a feeling you would make for one." The mouse hadn't even waited as he pulled out a chess set from his desk.
"I've never played but I wouldn't mind giving it a go sir." Izuku scratched his head.
"That's fine, I enjoy teaching new people how to play." Nedzu gave a brief description of every piece as well as general rules and castling, Izuku noticed the boy took to the game like a fish to water. Nedzu had expected as much. "That reminds me Izuku, I've been meaning to ask you some philosophical questions if you don't mind."
Izuku nodded while examining a pawn. He was given black so he was first, he led by sending a pawn 2 squares forward.
Taking the boy's gesture in before responding by moving his pawn forward. "What do you think of quirk society as it stands?"
"Allow me to be frank but it's shit." Izuku moved a knight up.
"Oh ho and why is that Izuku?" The mouse was generally curious about his wards opinion.
"Well as it stands and no offense U.A. is kind of guilty of this too. People like Shinsou and myself are vilified for having 'evil' quirks. Your entrance exam is proof of that, it heavily favours those with flashy explosive quirks that can stand out and make a name for themselves. Shinsou only got lucky he earned hero points and if All Might hadn't come into my life I would've had to take that test quirkless. Can you imagine the universe where you didn't let me in and I became jaded enough to become a villain. For the majority of my childhood I was quirkless and beaten down over and over and over just because I dreamed of being a hero and helping people. I've been asked before why I didn't use my quirk for revenge when I could've easily done so but that's because I wanted to become a hero. That's the thing though, villains and heroes aren't born they're made, and our current society is propagating both sides of that coin. I'm sure right now someone is out there begging for help because their quirk isn't 'good' enough." Izuku finished his rant but it very much came from the heart, it's something he had been thinking about since the day his quirk came in hell even before that.
"I must say I didn't see that opinion coming but in hindsight it makes sense, the bullying. Did the school do nothing to stop it?" The mouses usual cheery voice stopped.
Izuku just laughed. "Nope, in fact it was actively encouraged if All Might himself hadn't been at the school I doubt Bakugo would've ever been reported or written up for his actions, hell even after he got written up they falsified what he had done in order to make it sound better."
"Well let me just say thank you for not becoming jaded and I promise you that behaviour will not be encouraged here. That being said do you have any plans to currently change this society Izuku? Surely you've thought about ways to improve it." The quirked animal was very curious about his ward's answer.
"Hmm that's the thing I've thought and thought and thought but there's no easy fix. Our current society is a result of decades of propaganda and self gratification. It would require a rework from the ground up and need to involve the population as a whole but something like that is near impossible. In the end I decided I would just do my best as a hero to inspire those who've fallen through the cracks. It's all I can do really, give hope to the hopeless. I know I said I planned on being an underground hero and I still do but I think I'm going to put my name out there more, I want people with quirks like mine to know that they don't have to feared and hated. I'll keep the mask but show up in the media more often, I want people to know about my quirk and think happy thoughts, not be scared of me." Izuku swished the tea in his cup. It's all he ever wanted, he couldn't save people with a smile like All Might but he could do his best to save people like All Might saved him. He pushed his queen up ready to go on the offensive.
Nedzu was about to reply but his phone suddenly started ringing. "Yes hello? What do you mean there's some crazy girl covered in dirt and grime asking to see Midoriya? She's delirious? Snipe get Cementoss and bring her to recovery girl if she's that out of it." There was a pause. "Yes I'm being serious we aren't leaving some girl to die outside our gates even if she might be potentially dangerous." Nedzu hung up the phone. "So it seems you have a fan Izuku. Any idea who this girl is? From Snipe's description she has blonde hair and yellow eyes, she mentioned you specifically by name."
"Sir I have legitimately no idea. Maybe their a fan? I did get second in the sport's festival after all." Izuku mused. "I guess I better go see her."
"Ah hold up on that Izuku, we need to check her mental state first and we have a game of chess to finish. Check by the way." The rat laughed at him.
Izuku paled, he saw the walls closing in on his king, tt seemed like every move led to him being checked again. That was until he noticed a new option to him, Nedzu had explained it briefly but castling here would not only get him out of check it would put Nedzu's king in check. "I castle ... check by the way." He smirked.
"Oh very good Izuku but you seem to have missed one vital piece of information. Checkmate." The principal moved his queen to capture the rook that had been checking his king. "I must say your a natural, you lasted over 20 moves in your first game, against me as well." Nedzu paused, he had been thinking about this for awhile but the topic was not one easily broached. "Izuku ... I have a favor to ask." He paused again hesitating, this was a large thing to drop on the boy but he had to do it eventually. "... I've never revealed what type of animal I am but the fact remains I am an animal, I will likely not live past 20 and I'm already 13 years old. When I become old and withered I want you to take my quirk, I want to pass on in peace and ignorance and if I'm being honest there is no one I would rather have my quirk. I know you'll use it well." Nedzu asked in a morose note.
"I uh sir that's a lot to take in but isn't that going to be awhile off?" Izuku did not want to think about the principal's death, Izuku considered him a dear friend at this point.
"True but it doesn't change the fact that one day I want you to have it. I'd like to think a part of me would live on into the next generations. It's not something you need to think about now or even for a few years but it is something I want you to do eventually." Nedzu finished his tea. "Alright no more sad talk let's go meet this mysterious fan."
In recovery girl's office.
Nedzu and Izuku walked through the hallways in silence until they came upon their target. "Try to be as welcoming as possible Izuku, if the girls mental state has deteriorated as much as snipe says it has we need to be cautious."
They were not prepared for the screaming and violent wailing they heard upon entering the room. Izuku instantly entered battle mode activating Tempo preparing to strike if need be. But as soon as he entered the room a calm swiftly followed. "OH IT'S YOU, THE ONE WHO BEAT ! MY DARLING."
At the mention of the man's name Izuku paled, did she know about what he did? Then he mentally processed the rest of that statement, darling? What the fuck. Izuku saw the girl currently handcuffed to the bed and looked to see recovery girl in the corner of the room frantically swinging her cane. Snipe had apparently detained the girl and she did not like that. "I'm sorry have we met before?"
"Oh how could I be so forgetful, my name's Toga, Himiko Toga. I want to be you." The girls grin turned cheshire and she looked like she was getting off at that statement, alright yup she's insane.
Nedzu decided to speak. "Okay so what'd we miss."
"Well the lil pardner over here tried to bite me and drain my blood, or so she claims. So I took it upon myself to detain her and she hasn't been very happy about that. Frankly she hasn't been this calm until Midoriya walked in." Snipe did not take his eyes off of the girl in front of him.
Nedzu puzzled, blood? Was she like Vlad? "Snipe get Vlad King, Toga was it? Do you have a blood related quirk."
The girls eyes glazed over at the mention of that, ah trauma. Nedzu noticed it easily, she's probably delirious from a lack of blood. "Recovery girl we still have blood bags for transfusions correct? Can you bring this girl one."
The young hero just grumbled about not being paid enough before stomping off and grabbing what the principal had asked for. She handed it to Midoriya. "She's here for you and to be frank I'm not going anywhere near her so you can give it to her."
Izuku accepted the bag before sighing, alright time to put his words into practice. "Toga, I'm going to approach you now. Do you want this?"
The girl nodded vigorously, she looked at the bag in his hands like it was food and Izuku felt like the prey. Throwing caution to the wind he slowly approached, ready to react in an instant. The girl just snatched the bag from him and began devouring the blood. She drained the bag in seconds, like she had been starved. Slowly the girl came down from whatever high she was on, she slowly but surely became less agitated, less animalistic. "Are you feeling better now Toga?"
The girl whimpered realizing what she'd done. "I'm so sorry when the hunger gets too much I lash out, I'd been trying not to but it kept getting worse and worse until I realized I had no choice." She was openly balling her eyes out now, she'd likely been starved for weeks, months even. Izuku just sat next to the girl and held his hand on her back. "It's okay now your safe."
Nedzu was so proud of the boy. He never regretted his decision to enroll him here but this only confirmed his choice further. He's never judged a book by the cover and it's made the mouse so proud. His student was going to be a great hero. " , while I'm glad to see you have regained your sanity, would you mind answering some questions? Or do you need more time."
She kept crying for a bit longer before trying to pull herself together. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to bite that man, will he forgive me?"
Nedzu just smiled. "Do not worry , our Snipe will not be angry with you. We have someone who's just like you, they even work as a pro hero for U.A.. Would you like to meet him?"
The girl simply nodded drying her eyes with her raggedy clothes, which didn't help much.
Izuku was doing his best to ignore the smell but the girl smelt like a dumpster and she clearly had been in one to look the way she did. What had happened to this poor girl, Izuku knew it was probably stigma for her quirk. Most people wouldn't take kindly to someone who needed to drink blood in order to live. She'd clearly been starved of the stuff so whoever was taking care of or had taken care of her did not treat her correctly.
It wasn't much longer before Vlad King walked in. Vlad walked over to the girl and kneeled ."So you're the one that they found outside the gate. I hear you have a blood related quirk as well. You have such a rare blessing."
The girl started tearing up again. "M-my q-quirk makes me a monster. My parents said so."
There it was, everyone in the room realized, this girl was ostracized because of her quirk.
Izuku wanted to slap whoever had done this to this poor sweet girl, he couldn't imagine how he would've turned out if his mother hated him for his quirk. His father while abusive was never really in their life and on top of that Izuku got to arrest that bastard. This girl had never been saved. He remained by the girls side for emotional support but he decided to let Vlad handle this, he had the blood quirk after all.
"Well they were clearly wrong little lady. I'm no monster am I?" Vlad spoke as if he were talking to a five year old but in this situation that was probably correct, this girl was likely emotionally stunted from all of the abuse.
She just shook her head.
"Good and by that logic neither are you. Now before we get you patched up, how about a shower some food and a fresh change of clothes. Does that sound good to you?" The man's heart wrenched in two, whoever subjected this girl to the pain they did was going to pay.
"O-okay but will you stay Izuku?" The girl asked, scared as if her only lifeline would disappear. To be honest in her eyes the only thing that kept her sane enough to reach this point was the boy in front of her. She had wanted to hurt, to kill, so badly. Just to make the pain of her hunger go away, as she had done in the past. After the first time she did it Toga had never been more sickened in her life, she vomited chunks and bile into the alleyway where body pooling with blood was. She had to keep her past hidden, she didn't want them to be scared of her.
"I'm not going anywhere, I promise. Just let them help you, they're good people and won't let anything happen to you." Izuku swore in his head, he would get revenge for this girl. Her parents were going to pay.
"A-alright then." Toga let herself be led off to the bathroom inside of the Infirmary.
Nedzu was the first to speak once she was out of hearing distance. "It seems the girl has an unhealthy obsession with you Izuku, do you have any idea what caused it?"
"No I've never met her before in my life, to be honest it was kinda weird. That being said I'm currently on a personal mission to get her parents thrown into a cell, would you mind helping me out with that Nedzu?" The quirk stealer had a fire in his eyes.
The rad chuckled. "I would've been disappointed in you if you didn't. I'm going to ask you to stay here and keep the girl company while I do some research into her, recovery girl are you okay with keeping her as a patient now?"
Shuzenji sighed. "Yes, now that she's recovered her mental faculties I would be remiss if I did nothing to help her. She's clearly had a rough time of it and I do not intend to extend her suffering."
"Good!" The rat cheerfully smiled before walking off.
"I hope you know what your doing boy, she's clearly infatuated with you." Recovery Girl sighed, just her luck having to deal with this.
Izuku silently agreed. "So do I."
It was another twenty minutes before the girl stepped out of the bathroom, in place of the skirt and cardigan she was wearing previously now she's wearing an U.A. sports jacket. When she was cleaned up so no longer looked like a street rat, she actually was rather pretty. Especially with her hair out of those buns. There was an awkward silence before anyone spoke but eventually Toga did. "I just wanted to thank you all and apologize to you again . I kind of lose myself when I'm blood starved."
The adults in the room stared at the sudden shift in the girl's personality, especially Snipe. He was used to this girl acting crazy and with blood lust, not subdued and calm. "Err that's okay little missy I don't blame you. Now why don't you take some time and rest, or speak with Vlad I'm sure he wants to help you."
"Um if it's okay can I talk to Izuku for a bit?" The girl looked questioningly at the adults, all of which just looked straight at the boy in question.
Realizing he needed to speak. "I'm okay with it, I don't think she means any harm."
The other adults just sighed before the leaving the room. "If you need anything just hit the call button." Shuzenji added.
There was an awkward silence before Izuku finally decided to probe the issue. "So you called me darling earlier but I don't think I've met you before."
The girl started twisting her fingers around her hand. "I um sorry, I wasn't in the right headspace. Like I said my names Himiko Toga but when I saw you on the TV at the sport's festival I didn't know what to do with myself. My parents had disowned me and my previous caretaker had up and left in the middle of the night, I was starting to go crazy. I knew I needed help I couldn't keep dumpster diving and stealing from blood banks to survive. That's when I saw you on the TV, you looked so amazing I thought you might be able to help. (He looked so nice all bloodied and broken.) That's when it occurred to me that maybe I should try and ask a hero for help, they save people after all right? I spent the next few weeks trying to think of a good way to get into contact with you and U.A. but not one of my ideas seemed like they would work. I um please forgive but I kinda stalked you while you were on your internships with that old man. I even witnessed your battle against , the man had been my previous caretaker after my parents but he abandoned me too. I was at an orphanage for awhile after that but they kicked me out to because my quirk was too scary. I eventually decided to just come and try to talk to you. I hope you don't find it too weird."
Izuku wasn't quite sure how to react. On one hand this girl clearly needed help, on the other hand she seems to have a few screws loose. "If you don't mind me asking what were you hoping would happen when you met me?"
"I uh I don't know honestly, I just couldn't keep up my old lifestyle. I needed an escape, somewhere where I could be myself." The girl looked down as she said that.
"I'm going to call everybody else back into the room is that okay? I think you should talk to them rather than me. There's not much I can do other than persuade them to help, which I'm willing to try." Izuku gave her a soft smile.
"You would?! Oh please thank you." Toga grabbed his hand and held it close to her. "You're just like I hoped you would be."
Izuku started blushing so he quickly separated and called the adults back into the room. Speaking for Toga. "Basically she's been kicked out thrice and forced to live off of the streets. She just wants to find a place she can stay safely. Is there anything we can do?"
Nedzu returned at that moment with a dark look on his face. " it has come to my attention that you are wanted for several assault and battery cases. "
Snipe took up a defensive pose his hand was already next to the revolver on his hip.
Toga froze, she knew this was a horrible idea, she'd basically walked straight into the lion's den and was about to try and flee before Izuku' hand held her firmly in place. But wait did they say assault and battery? Not murder?
Izuku meanwhile had a very different reaction he stepped in front of the girl as if to defend her.
Snipe looked shocked. "Midoriya you can't protect her, don't throw away your career over this."
Nedzu thankfully cut in. "Now now everyone calm down, I'm sure Izuku has good cause for his actions. you won't try to flee or attack anyone will you?"
The girl nodded.
"Good, Snipe please put the gun down."
The man grumbled but did as he was told.
"Now then Izuku I assume you're defending her because of what you said this morning? You believe her to be one of the one who slipped through the cracks do you not?" Nedzu stared into the boys soul.
"Exactly Nedzu, she's nothing like any of the previous villains I've fought, even if she's assaulted some people. She's never intentionally hurt someone, she didn't enjoy the pain she inflicted she's nothing like Stain or Shigaraki. They had a choice and they still did whatever they wanted. Villains are made not born if we arrest her were just making another." Izuku having finished his piece remained in his defensive position. Vlad King started approaching and Izuku almost stopped him but then he noticed what he was doing and relaxed instantly.
Vlad King to all his credit simply walked up to the girl and patted her on the head. "It'll be alright, no one here's gonna hurt you or arrest you, you're safe now."
Snipe sighed realizing just how bad of an idea this was but he had to slightly agree with the others. She's just like Hagakure another person forced into a life of villainy they never wanted to be a part of.
"I have a blood thirst too, I know just how hard it can be to keep those urges under control, for now we're going to monitor your consumption rate until we find a good ratio for you. Is that okay?" Vlad King tried to console the girl as best he could.
She sniffled. "Yes Vlad sir."
"Good now we're going to leave you here with Midoriya, we have to figure out how we're going to proceed from here. I'll be back in no time flat."
Izuku watched as everyone left the room again leaving him with the crazy girl, whelp he made his bed might as well lay on it. "So Toga, tell me about yourself."
The girl just started twiddling her fingers, she didn't really know honestly. The only thing that she's had time for is her all encompassing need for blood but she doubted Izuku would like that answer. "I don't know ... I guess I like to do cutesy stuff." The girl blushed realizing how awful of an answer that was.
Izuku saw the hesitation on the girls face, I could've ended up just like her. Drifting alone in the world after my parents disowned me because of my quirk. Hell if not for All Might I would've had to live with abuse day after day because of Bakugo. He needed to make sure he thanked the man when he got the chance later. "Well I can talk about myself if you want, you did come here to see me and It'd be rude to ignore a fan." Izuku smiled at the girl.
"You would!? Oh please Izu-kun." The girl brightened instantly.
Yeah okay Momo was going to kill him later, this girl was clearly head over heels for him. "Yeah give me a second I need to send a message first." He pulled out his phone and sent an apology to Momo, better safe than sorry when it came to pissing her off. "So anything in particular you want to know about me?"
"Well you asked me what I liked so how about the same oh I know we can play 20 questions! That'd be fun."
Izuku noticed her eyes for the first time, they were strangely ... cat like. That was interesting. "Alright that sounds good to me, I guess if I had to pick a thing I liked the most it'd be quirks. I have tons of notes on them and their potential applications, it's kind of a nerdy thing to like but to me their very precious." Izuku smiled when he thought about everything he'd done with his quirk, it no doubt had affected his personality in some manner. Just like the quirk of this girl and her blood addiction, same with Vlad.
"Alright my turn." Izuku paused this girl clearly had some form of trauma regarding her quirk but the sooner Izuku knew what it was the sooner he could fix her mentality that it was cursed and made her a monster. "Toga you don't have to answer this one but would you mind telling me what your quirk is? I promise you no matter what it is, I won't judge." Hell his quirk made him hunger for more quirks, it was no different than having a blood addiction. Even if he had Pavloved himself into only wanting Villain's quirks, it was still an addiction.
The girl froze when she heard that question. There was no way, he was lying. Her quirk made her cursed, she was a monster. "N-no you'll leave me like the rest." The girl started shivering.
Izuku knew he shouldn't have brought that up so soon, god he was dumb. He tightened his grip on the girl's hand. "I promise you I won't but I also said you didn't have to talk about it if you didn't want too. So instead how about your favourite food?" Izuku smiled at the girl trying to reassure her.
She controlled herself more once she felt his grip tighten and his words soothed her soul, she could tell he wasn't lying. "I ... m-myquirkletsmetransformintopeopleIdrinkthebloodof!" The girl shouted out before rapidly turning away.
Izuku didn't hear most of that but he did hear drink blood and transform, it wasn't exactly hard to put two and two together. He turned her head around. "Toga that's an amazing quirk, you could save so many people with it. You could turn into a villain and sneak into their base or disguise yourself as a random civilian or even turn into another known hero to confuse the enemy. Anyone who told you anything different is an absolute fool." He made sure she stared at his face while he said this, he had to know she believed him.
And she did, for the first time ever someone liked her quirk. "I-I b-but you don't think I'm a monster?! My parents slapped me the first time I tried to drink blood!" She started crying at the memories coming rushing back to her, only for her to be pulled into a hug.
"You're no monster and you're certainly more than your quirk. It might not sound like much coming from me but trust me I know what it's like to be hated for your quirk." He let the girl cry herself out on his shoulder, it was going to take time but maybe, just maybe this could be the first person he saves. Even if it was from themselves.
After several minutes Toga finally collected herself to speak. "B-but your q-quirk is s-so cool and flashy, you get to fly and shoot h-hurricanes from your hands."
Damn it he really wanted to tell this girl his real quirk but he knew that was a terrible idea. "I uh can't explain now but one day you'll know exactly what I mean. I promise I'm not lying I just can't tell you, I'm sorry if that seems like I'm being hypocritical. Trust me I want to tell you I really do but I ca-."
He was halted by the girl putting her finger to his mouth. "I believe you."
Of course this had to be the exact moment Momo found him. Hugging a crying girl in a slightly intimate position.
Izuku paled at the sight. "Oh Momo how're you doing today." He watched as the brows on the girl visibly furrowed.
"Oh just fine Izuku. Care to explain." She'd crossed her arms and glared at the boy.
Toga pulled back looking between the two. Izuku looked terrified while the other girl looked livid, she kind of recognized the girl. "Oh! You're the person Izuku fought during the finale of the sports festival, you're the one who beat him. You were so cool!"
Seeing the girl crying instantly turn so bubbly visible confused Momo and Izuku as well but he'd gotten slightly used to the girls rapid mood swings. "I'm sorry you are?"
"Oh forgive my manners. My names Himiko Toga it's nice to meet you."
Yaoyorozu bit back at her irritation, when Izuku sent her that apology text she knew something was going on that she wouldn't like but she wasn't expecting him to be actively cheating on her. "Likewise. Izuku dear I need to speak with you. Privately." She glared at the other girl.
Toga could sense the hostility coming from the other girl and wait had she said DEAR?! Toga deflated at those words, oh so that's how it is. Of course Izuku already had someone special to him, how could someone as amazing as him not.
Izuku gulped. "I'll be right back I promise Toga." He had been hoping to let the poor girl down easier, she'd had it rough already he didn't want to crush her hopes like this.
Izuku followed Momo out the door fully expecting to yelled at or slapped, but instead he got silent vindictive rage. "Explain."
"Listen I wasn't cheating on you or anything I was just trying to help that girl, she's had a rough time and she has a serious crush on me. I promise you I wasn't going anywhere with it but how could I break her down even further when she's been beaten abused and left to rot on the streets." Izuku tried to explain to his girlfriend her expression softened more as he spoke until finally Momo realized how badly she'd messed up.
"I'm sorry Izu it's just, it seems like every girl around besides Jiro and Tsu want's a chance to jump on you and it's frankly been wearing down my nerves until I kind of just snapped." Momo sighed.
"What do you mean every girl?" Izuku puzzled at the girl.
"Have you not realized it? Hell Mina told me she wished she'd been the one to lock you down, Uraraka was depressed for a week and I'm still not sure about Hagakure. The rapid 180 of her personality has really thrown me for a loop." Momo raised her hand in thought at the last one.
Izuku was stunned all his classmates had said that about him? Was he really that attractive?
Momo looked at her stunned boyfriend. Apparently it took a girl basically throwing themselves at him in order for him to notice they were flirting with him. "Izuku do you not realize how good of an option you are? You've got like the world's strongest quirk, your cute and hot simultaneously somehow and on top of that your like the nicest guy I've ever met. Someone would have to be an idiot to not want you."
Izuku was blushing furiously from all the praise he was getting.
Noticing the damage she was causing Momo let him stew in her words for a bit before continuing. "Ahem. Anyway I get the situation now, go cheer her up Izuku. I'll see you back at the dorms I have a surprise for you." She basically whispered that last bit in his ear watching him go bright red.
Izuku watched as Momo swayed her hips as she left, he was pretty sure Momo wasn't keeping count like he had recently but that certainly felt like a loss. Izuku Midoriya 2-1.
He returned to the room to find the girl gone. ... Oh he was so fucked. Izuku immediately sprinted towards the window but when he looked down he couldn't see any signs of her. Izuku guessed Toga used the tree to climb down and escape. His next best plan of action was to call Nedzu.
"Yes Izuku what is it? Are you okay?" Nedzu wasn't sure why the boy was calling him but he couldn't imagine it was for a good reason.
"Uh Nedzu I may have messed up ... she's gone."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S GONE!?" Nedzu screamed into the phone.
Izuku could hear the people in the room reacting in a similar manner. "Well uh Momo walked in on us and got really angry so I went out into the hall to talk with her, when I came back she was gone."
"IZUKU OF ALL THE IRRESPONSIBLE IDIOTIC THINGS YOU COULD'VE DONE, YOU LEFT A KNOWN CRIMINAL ALONE AND UNSUPERVISED, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Nedzu was exasperated that his ward would do something so stupid.
Izuku melted under the screaming, so he just sheepishly replied. "...Yes?"
Nedzu sighed "Izuku I'm checking the cameras, Vlad King and Snipe are on their way. Try and find the girl please. I can save the rest of my screaming for later. I've contacted Hound Dog as well hopefully he can sniff her out."
The search would go on for hours but no trace of the girl was ever found. Nedzu speculates she just hopped the U.A. barrier after her escape from the room, thanks to her guest pass the alarms never triggered. Izuku found himself back in the office of the principal who just stared at the boy incredulously. "So you're telling me, you left her alone after an assumed heart break. A potentially dangerous and armed criminal, that we were attempting to rehabilitate. Who was clearly not in a good mental state, after worsening it you then left her alone."
Izuku wilted. "In my defense I didn't plan on Momo finding us and letting that little tidbit out. My plan was to let her down gently after she had stabilized mentally."
Nedzu just sighed, great just great. There went the one chance they had of actually helping the girl. She clearly did not want it anymore, then again maybe they were just too late in the first place. If all it took was finding out the person she had been fawning over was taken to break her then she was already pretty far gone. If only they'd found the girl earlier or she had come to them for help sooner. "Izuku I know this was an accident and a situation you were clearly unprepared for but really?"
Izuku could say nothing back. He was an idiot through and through. "I accept any punishment."
"No no I'm not punishing you, we should have left an adult with you, just think of this as a lesson for the future, you're dismissed."
By the time Izuku returned to his dorm after his visit to Tartarus it was incredibly late by now. It would be an understatement to say that he was angry with Momo, he was livid. Izuku knew the girl didn't have any bad intentions but he was still going to be mad at her for ruining whatever chance he had to save that girl. As he stood in the front of the door to her room, he tried to calm himself down, he was being irrational as their teacher would put it. His breathing settled and irritations lessened he opened the door.
The girl was studying while drinking tea. She looked up and her face brightened before turning into a worrying one, apparently he hadn't calmed down as much as he thought he had. "Izu what's wrong?"
"Momo I'm not going to lie I'm kind of mad at you right now, I'm trying not to be but I still am." Izuku huffed as he sat down across from the girl.
Realizing studying was the last thing she should be doing she put down the book before trying to move closer and reassure her boyfriend.
He pushed her away. "I'm sorry but not right now, she escaped you know. That girl I was trying to save. When I went back into the room she was gone."
Momo realized what she'd done, by making Izuku leave the room she gave the girl the chance to leave. "Izu I'm so sorry I didn't mea-
Izuku cut her off. "I know, I shouldn't be mad at you but I feel like something terrible is going to happen now. That girl was a criminal, she went into crazy frenzies when she wasn't fed enough blood. Now she's escaped and no longer wants to be saved, I shudder at what that could mean. I may have just created the world's next villain and whoever she kills it's on my head, I did that."
Momo's eyes widened at her boyfriends explanation, what had she done. Before she could speak Izuku got up. "Sorry Mo I need to be alone for a bit. I promise I'll have calmed down later."
Yaoyorozu just helplessly starred as Izuku got up and left the room. She started tearing up a bit, was that their first fight? Today was supposed to be a good day, she looked at the metal case underneath her bed.
Izuku had basically stomped his way out of the dorms. Everyone watched as the resident green bean angrily slammed open the door with enough force to rip the door from its hinges.
Bakugo looked at the place where the door used to be. "What the fuck happened to Deku?
"Did you do something explody?" Hagakure asked the teen.
"If it'd been me why the fuck would I be asking buzz cut."
Fair point the girl realized.
He needed some air, the mountains were part of U.A. weren't they? Izuku decided it was time to go see them. He blasted off towards them so he could vent in peace. He'd failed, it was his first chance to save someone who really needed it and he failed. God he was so angry with himself, he paused before looking around. I don't think anyone would mind if I let off some steam around here. The fact his head hurt so much because he forgot to get rid of these extra quirks wasn't helping either. Izuku looked at the poor trees and rocks that were about to feel his wrath.
Elsewhere
Toga was still running, how could she have been so stupid. Of course there was no way she could be with Izuku even if he had been so nice to her. She didn't even notice when a portal opened up beneath her sending her into the abyss, she hit the ground with a thud. "Wha? Where am I?"
"Where indeed." A voice started cackling in her head and Toga felt fear.
