Okay, okay…this is the rewritten version to Pain, and I'm going to be taking my time with these chapters as to not have them feel rushed, and I will be sparing characters from bashing, but the plot will remain the same. Izuku loses his mother one night and Tsuyu and her parents take him in. Some chapters might be similar to the first attempt while others will be completely different.

Before I begin, I will like to make a few quick announcements. One, even though I do not like her character, I will be nicer to Ochako this time around, only because if I do be mean to her, I will feel like I'll be in a rut, two, Mineta will still be the perverted grape that no one can stand, so he may be bashed, three, the first two or three chapters will be taking place before they move into the dorms and I have something planned following the move.

If everyone is fine with this attempt at a second writing, please enjoy the first chapter.

Screams of terror and smoke filled the air as burning building collapsed on the streets and citizens ran to find sanctuary. A green-haired woman looked down at her frightened 4-year-old son and a frown formed across her lips, "Izuku?" the child looked up at his mother with a look of fear behind his eyes, "Listen to me, I need you to be brave right now. I want you to look for a place and hide,"

"Mommy?"

"I'll be with you soon, but I need you to run and find somewhere to hide," she pushed her son away from her as the top of a building fell and landed on her and the boy stared with wide eyes as he heard the screams of pain from his mother as he watched her flailing body in the flames as the remains of the building continued to collapse. Tears filled the young boy's eyes as he cried and smoke continued to fill his lungs before his world faded to black.

Izuku Midoriya shot up and panted as a cold sweat ran down his body. Sighing, he cupped a hand over his eyes and shook his head, "That dream again," looking up out the window, he stared at the full moon and frowned, "Damnit," he tossed the covers aside and stood up before walking out of the room and down the hall.

Stepping into the washroom, Izuku turned the light on, temporarily blinding himself as he stepped towards the sink and turned the faucet on. Splashing water on his face, he turned the tap off and narrowed his eyes, 'It's been over ten years, and that day still haunts me. Will I ever get over it and will I learn what happened to my mother that day? Which villain caused the initial outbreak?'

"Gero," he looked back and saw two frog-like adults standing by the door, staring at him, "Izuku, what are you doing up?" the large man croaked, crossing his arms and shaking his head.

Izuku sighed as he turned and rubbed the back of his head, "S-sorry, Uncle Ganma, I didn't mean to wake you and Auntie Beru. I couldn't get comfortable and I decided to splash some water on my face before going back to bed,"

The woman, Beru, frowned as she stepped closer to the green-haired teen and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, "We all know that that's not true, Izuku. We're all aware of what day it is. Ribbit," Izuku frowned as he glanced away, "We were there that day. We found the frightened boy amongst the rubble. We took him to the hospital before bringing him home and raised him and he became very good friends with our oldest daughter,"

Izuku looked up at the adults before he sighed and shook his head, "You two didn't have to do that. You took in a complete stranger and for all you know, I could've used my Quirk for evil and killed everyone here,"

"That was a chance we were willing to take," Ganma croaked, "Even still, Tsuyu was with us that night and she practically begged us to help you. Since we raised you right, the chances of you becoming a villain were low, and now you and Tsuyu are attending U.A. High and training to become heroes,"

"I know," Izuku inhaled slowly as he stepped past the two adults and walked down the hall, "Goodnight," the two watched as he walked down the hall and to his room before they turned the light off and retired to their room for the evening.

Izuku closed the door as he walked towards the bed. Sitting on the edge of the bed, his shoulders slumped over as he hung his head, "I can't deny it. Auntie Beru and Uncle Ganma were right…I'm completely predictable on this day an-"

"Kero," Izuku jumped and looked back to see a pair of wide eyes staring back at him, "Izuku…are you okay?" Izuku took a deep breath as the figure stepped closer to him and he saw his best friend Tsuyu Asui in the moonlight.

Taking a deep breath, Izuku sat back down as Tsuyu sat down beside him, "I'm…fine, Tsuyu, just…I'm fine," Tsuyu croaked as she rested her head on his shoulder, "T-Tsuyu?"

"You distance yourself from everyone on this day," Tsuyu shook her head, "You put on this tough guy act to keep people from getting too close to you on this day, but every year, like clockwork, you wake up in a cold sweat, go to the washroom and wash your face,"

"So I am that predictable, huh?" Tsuyu croaked as she slowly nodded.

The two heroes in-training say in the dark room and listened as the nocturnal creatures played their nightly music through the slightly opened window. Looking down at the frog girl beside him, Izuku frowned, "Tsuyu?" Tsuyu croaked as she looked up in confusion and Izuku shook his head, "I don't mind having a roommate or anything, but don't you think your parents might say something if they go to your room tomorrow and find you missing and then come in here to see you slept in here with me?"

"No, we've slept next to each other before,"

"Well…yeah, but…we were little and…and we couldn't do anything that might get us into trouble an-"

"Kero," Tsuyu yawned, lying her head back down on his shoulder, "They know we won't do anything that can get us into any trouble, and I'd like to be here to comfort my best friend in his time of need," shifting her weight, Tsuyu laid on top of Izuku as she forced him to lay back on the bed.

Izuku looked down and saw Tsuyu's back rise and fall at an even pace, indicating she had fallen asleep. Taking a deep breath, Izuku wrapped an arm around Tsuyu and lightly rubbed her back as he mumbled under his breath, "Why am I still being haunted by that day? Yeah, the pain is still there, but…it's been years and Tsuyu and her parents saved me, but the memory still feels fresh in my mind," hearing Tsuyu moan, he looked down and saw Tsuyu nuzzling closer to him in an attempt to keep warm.

Inhaling slowly, Izuku reached down and pulled the covers over them before he wrapped his arms around Tsuyu a he took in her scent, "She smells nice," his eyes widened as he panted and looked down at Tsuyu before shaking his head, "Where did that thought come from?" shaking his head again, Izuku ran his fingers through his hair and quietly hissed under his breath, "What am I saying? Tsuyu and I have been friends since that day, nothing will change that and I don't want to mess anything up,"

Wrapping his arms around Tsuyu again, Izuku closed his eyes and fell into a peaceful slumber as Tsuyu moaned and wrapped her arms around his torso and a ghost of a smile formed across her lips and small croaks escape her mouth.

Okay, I was planning on getting this out over the weekend, but I managed to get a lot more done than I had originally planned. Please enjoy the first chapter of the rewritten Pain and please let me know what everyone thinks.
