Hey, everyone. I just came up with this idea so yeah, enjoy. I also altered the last chapter a little bit. A few things were pushed back so I can get the things I want going.
***IM BACK. Now I need to finish this chapter. BUT I'M BACK YOU SEXY MOTHER FUCKERS***
Chapter 3
What did you do?
Jaden P.O.V
After a busy night, I was left limping down the stairs in the morning. Almost everyone was awake at the table, eating their breakfasts, the TV was on and the news playing by the time I got there.
"Breaking news! Someone broke into Tartarus but, not to break someone out. To attack a recent addition to the prison, who goes by the name 'Muscular' was found beaten up in his cell with a broken jaw." The news lady exclaims.
"The more crazy bit is that all that was done, was the break-in, and the attack after the villain was released. That's right, folks! The villain was released, fed, then beaten to a pulp. All the officials could assume is that the person that broke in harbors some kind of grudge against 'Muscular' and wanted revenge but has a small voice of justice." The lady continued as though it were the most exciting thing ever.
"Wow, that's crazy. This a nearly a top-level villain." Sero said.
"All that is known about the attacker is that they were wearing all black, and they were shot in the leg with a tranquilizer that would paralyze it for about eighteen hours." The lady said.
I cursed under my breath as I entered the room, "Hey, guys." I said.
I flinched when they asked why I was limping.
"I dropped something on my leg last night. I caught it before it hit the ground though, didn't want to wake you all up." I gave my bullshit excuse, silently cursing myself for not being careful. I should have been more careful with my business.
"Hey, guys what are you talking about?!" Skylah nearly yelled behind me.
"Just what's happening on the news," I said slowly, my voice somewhat hesitant.
"So Jaden," Mina says, pausing for a moment before continuing, "where were you last night?" Mina asked casually.
"What do you mean?" As I said it I realize that any pinch of friendliness that was in my voice (there wasn't that much to start with) had left.
"You weren't in your room last night," Mina said. "What were you doing? Seeing a girl or something?"
"I wasn't." I lied. Well it wasn't exactly a lie
"It isn't manly to hide things from us man," Kirishima said, suddenly popping up next to me.
"It isn't 'manly' to go snooping in my business either." I snapped back defensively. I sighed after I heard myself and how deflated Kirishima looked. I felt bad. These guys hadn't done anything to me besides snoop in my room.
"I'm sorry alright! I shouldn't be so secretive." I said, cradling my face in my hands as I sat down on the couch. "I just can't right now ok? I want to talk to you guys, but I just...just...can't." I leaned up for a moment, gaging their reactions before burrowing into the confines of my hands once again, "I promise that I'll make it up to you all sometime soon...I'm just not ready yet."
I don't want to be so distant all the time. I want to join them in their happy times when they play video games, sit around, tell stories, and laugh.
But here I am.
Sneaking off to beat up a guy in prison.
I finally got up after what felt like hours, but in reality, it was probably only a few minutes. I looked at them then spilled my guts.
There was a shocked silence as I leaned back up to my full height once again.
"Yeah…" I said, not liking the feeling from the vomit, "Uraraka do you mind using your quirk on my foot? It will help me walk normally for a little bit. I only have about an hour or so left before I can walk normally" I asked. She nodded walking over to me as Kirishima picked me up, her using her quirk on me.
We grabbed our things then went to class.
.
~During class~
.
I was zoning out, but Mr. Aizawa's suddenly serious voice snapped me out of my little world. "We were going to do this trip before your license exam but, we were getting ready to add Jaden and Skylah to the class. So we are doing it now, now everyone can get a bit more practice. These two are the reason the exams were delayed." He told us quietly.
"So, we caused a trip AND an exam to be delayed? We're not that important also how did you even know that I was going to get into a fight again?" I asked quickly.
"We just so happened to be tracking both parties and predicting what was going to happen. You were predictable, and won the fight just like everyone assumed." He states.
I chose to stay silent for once.
"Wait, why were you tracking him?" Mina suddenly asked a few minutes later.
Everyone looked at her besides Skylah and I, our shoes suddenly the most interesting thing in the world. "What?! We were all thinking it!" She said defensively.
"What happened is that this isn't Jadens first fight." Mr. Aizawa said, "This was his fifth this month."
"When was the first?!" Uraraka asked her tone showing some underlying alarm.
"JADEN IT ISN'T APPROPRIATE TO BE FIGHTING!" Said the guy who likes to chop his arms around as the robot yelled.
"Jaden do you want to tell them?" Mr. Aizawa asked-well more stated as he went back to his sleeping bag.
"sigh Sure."
I stood up silently, still looking at my shoes.
"It happened the day after my parents died." I started sadly.
Then the memory started playing in my head.
.
flashback
.
I was in school attempting to pay attention as the information rang in my head for a few moments, bouncing around before leaving my mind to go to who knows where. Suddenly I was released from class. It was already over? I went to the bathroom to slap some water on my face, watching the water slide down my hands as I stared at them.
All of a sudden I was yanked back from the sink roughly, a hand clasping onto the back of my shirt with a tight grip.
I was then shoved into the wall, boys surrounded me, I could count about ten before I stopped counting turning towards the one in front, obviously the leader. This was going to be ugly number one.
"Let me go," I murmured.
Ugly number one scoffed, "What are you going to do about it? Sick your daddy on us? Oh wait, I'm so sorry, your old man is dead!" He hollered hysterically in my face without a hint of remorse evident in his voice.
"Shut up," I said with my voice barely over a whisper.
"What did the baby say?" Ugly number one taunted mockingly.
"I think the baby said he wants to go home to his mama and papa" Ugly number three said with a smirk.
"SHUT UP!" I yelled. I could feel my anger rising like a bomb counting down to zero. Fast. Terrifying. Ready to explode with a force that would keep people clear for miles.
I don't remember what happened next, but when I came back to it, I saw the damage that I had done that day one nearly died, three were put into comas and the rest? The worst injury was to one person who had three broken bones.
I think this is when U.A. started to monitor me. I was moved out of that school because a lot of people were scared to come within a 5-meter radius of me. Little did those suckers know my max reach that I had gotten to was 36 and a half meters. That's how far I got before I gave up.
.
End Flashback
.
I shoved myself out of my head and looked at everyone, different emotions covered their faces, and I could tell they were still processing the new information, "There was another time where I went on a rampage," I said, regretting ever going to school that day.
"You did what?!" Skylah yelled- well nearly screamed right next to me.
"Yeah...I took down all students and teachers that came near me. They requested help from Midnight because she could use her quick on me...but I took her down too. One teacher had managed to sneak behind me somehow to try and calm me down with her quirk." I said sitting back down and sinking into the fabric that gave me little comfort. "I grabbed her before she could use her quirk and threw her into the wall. She...s-she flew" I cursed breathlessly at the crack in my voice at the end, but it was already out and in the open.
A tense silence settled over the common room.
Denki thought it would be funny to the whistle and boom. It was kinda funny I have to admit, but was definitely bad timing.
"Now go pack, you're all probably already well aware, it's going to be tough, so pack appropriately. We have already received permission from your parents." The sleeping wonder said to us.
We all left and packed up.
.
~The day of the trip and at the training grounds~
.
Skylah woke me up, causing me to nod in thanks. We get out of the bus and saw the half of the team known as the Wild Wild Pussycats.
I'll be honest I stopped listening when they started talking, their voices buzzing in my ears. The next thing I know I was shot off the cliff into the forest and learned quickly after that we had a set amount of time to get to the campgrounds.
I got up and dusted myself off.
"Keep your guard everyone, we don't know what the challenge is in this," I said.
"Like that?!" Skylah yelled, pointing behind me.
"There is a monster of some kind behind me isn't there?" I asked in a bored tone.
"Yeah! Run!" the small grape boy yelled at me.
Turned to get a good look at what was behind me. It was a giant bird-like creature made of dirt? Never mind, more like a pterodactyl. Must be that blue Pussycat.
Pixie-Bob I believe her name is.
It screeched into my face blowing my hair off my eyes, now that pisses me off. You can do whatever you want to me but don't mess with my hair. I have it the way it is for a reason. I like to hide my face without a mask. Does it sound like bull shit? Yes, probably, but it is my bull shit.
I shifted my arm into a tentacle, rising it to get a closer look, but still kept it about a foot away from meI could never get used to it, I have had this since I was three, yet the feeling of stretching limbs and growing new ones never felt normal even after all these years. I felt like I was being grabbed by that limb and it was being stretched out farther than it should. The strange sensation always disappeared after I started to use the tentacle/tentacles. That is why I only use them when I need them.
I lashed it out at the creature as it tried to dodge but, that is what I was hoping for. My tentacle wrapped around one of its legs as it tried to take to the sky. I pulled it and slammed it into the side of the cliff we just came down from.
I looked around and saw that there were a lot more.
Oh boy.
Let's hope my leg starts working properly again soon!
-After destroying a bunch of monsters-
Everyone was tired, dirty, and relieved.
I wish I did less though, I don't need this lady all over me. I don't want to guess or even ask her age. Putting that question out there is most likely to get you killed.
I stayed back well the blue lady got closer. After a while, Izuku approached the kid and offered his hand.
.
Skylah P.O.V
.
I was too tired to care about anything right now. I just want to sleep! My eyelids started to fall...sleep...sounds...good...then SCREAM! My eyes snapped out to Jaden glaring at the kid with one tentacle wrapped around the kid's arm. From what I could see, Jaden saved Deku, as most of the class calls him, from pain in the family jewels.
"Maybe...You should be a bit nicer to people...especially to people like him." Jaden said darkly, his voice full of malice, so low that you almost couldn't hear the threat coming out of his mouth. "Jaden...Maybe you should let go..." I said softly.
He looked at me, our gazes locking for a few moments before he 'tsk'ed, "Fine." He growled, "Watch yourself kid." He started walking away.
The brown cat lady...What's her name? What's any of their names? Walked up, putting one of her paws on the boy's shoulder before softly saying, "Kota, be nice."
Jaden stopped in his tracks, turning slowly.
Why did Kota sound so familiar?
The look on Jaden's face was hard to describe. Somewhat agonized, lost in thought, and a few others that even I couldn't decipher.
.
Jaden P.O.V
.
I couldn't believe it, I had finally found him! "Kota Izumi...That's your name right?" I asked slowly.
"Ye-yes. How did you know?" He said, his voice quiet and unsure, as though he thought I was about to attack him.
"I'm Jaden. Our parents...were together that day."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I was there too. I wanted to find you and say that...I don't...I can't remember now." I don't remember what I was going to say to him. What am I even supposed to say to the poor kid? You're not alone? I understand how you feel? We're in this together? What the fuck was I thinking?!
"Oh." Was his only meek reply.
I was wracking through the shelves in my brain trying, begging myself to just let me remember! There must have been something. Last words...Something about that?
"Um...If you even want to talk, I'll...um, listen. I hope that we can get to know each other because I'm in almost the same boat as you."
The kid looked at me strangely, his eyes sharp and observant in a way I had often seen Aizawa looking at his students. "Uh...thanks?"
I cursed myself silently for saying something so weird. No doubt that kid is going to avoid me now. But, I don't blame him. I'd avoid me too if I was him.
After a great meal, provided by the wild wild pussy cats, we all headed off to take a bath in the spa.
I stopped paying attention to everyone. I could hear small fragments of the conversation on the girl's side. But mostly it was just the guys messing around. I perked up at the sound of the grape boy saying something about the wall.
"Hey, Jay man!"
I turned in the direction of the voice. "Huh?"
I took a closer look. It was that yellow kid, the one always zoning out, being idiotic, or playing with the tail guys, well, tail.
"I'm sorry what did you call me?" I asked, my confusion shining on my face.
"Jay man! You know like a nickname?" The guy said, his tone excited. His name was...Denki? Maybe?
I blinked at him. I was used to nicknames of course, but they weren't really something you would brag about. "Um...thanks?" I said awkwardly, I guess this is his idea of the first step on getting me to stop acting so distant. As nice as that is, did I have to get such a lame nickname? I'm sure if you yelled Jay man out you could get like 15 people responding to you.
Heavy breathing?
"What in the-?" I turned to see the purple pervert climbing the wall with his quirk. As smart as that was, why was he doing this now?
I shifted my arm, slightly wincing at the strange feeling that came along with it, and shot the arm at the small purple-haired boy. At the same time, Mineta (THAT'S HIS NAME!?) was greeted with the image of the little Kota instead of naked girls.
Kota said something before knocking him down. Then turned around, and promptly fainted. One of the girls must have said something to him, I grabbed Mineta before he hit the water (a shame really) and Izuku jumped out of nowhere and caught Kota before I could change my other arm.
"Izuku, you go take Kota to his guardian and I'll handle this little pervert," I said while giving Mineta a shake. I'm so glad the steam was dense because I would look if I had to but not with this little guy. He is probably half the size of his height. If you know what I mean. I'd be scared for life if I saw what he wasn't packing.
I threw the little guy into the changing room, "Put your clothes on so I can beat your ass!" I yelled after him. I slapped a hand over my mouth when I realized what I said.
"OI, YOU GOING TO FIGHT? FIGHT ME INSTEAD YOU DAMNED NERD!" Yelled a blonde, the guy most likely needs to lower his blood pressure.
"CHILL THE FUCK OUT MAN," I yelled back, "SIT YOUR ASS DOWN BEFORE I GO AND KICK YOUR ASS TOO!"
The blonde boy clearly stunned that I would actually challenge him "Huh?"
I ignored the robot mastering how to karate chop. All I heard was "BLAH BLAH BLAH FIGHTING IS BLAH BLAH BLAH AND THAT IS WHY BLAH BLAH BLAH!"
I stood up and went after the boy I threw. I heard cheering from behind me and I guess the guys yelled over to the girls what I was going to do. I cracked my knuckles and flashed the perverted boy a rare grin.
I was sure I looked extra intimidating to the small boy in front of me. I just grinned almost evilly and towered over him. I felt bad...almost. I'll just make sure he learns his lesson. I'm not going to give him more than he deserves. He can change, he might just need a small- no big nudge to start. And maybe a bruise or two.
I grabbed him by the back of his shirt and dragged him outside leaving my own shirt behind. "I'm going to teach you a lesson and I pray that you remember it." I growl towards him. All I got back in reply was a whimper.
Figures.
"You can try and fight back if you'd like, but just so you know I beat people way stronger while they're using their quirk."
Not a bad chapter. I've been back for a bit but didn't want to give you a crappy chapter the second I came back, so I spent a bit more time on this one
