AN: We are back with another chapter! Thank you all so much in the last chapter, wow you really got passionate about what I did to Ochaco, and that's great! Well time to find out what I had planned, so without further adieu let's just jump into it!
More Than a Weapon
To say Izuku was mad was understatement, he was infuriated and the only thing that would calm him would be to see Shigaraki, the doctor, and the rest of the league of villains dead. And right now the only thing the villains could do was run, run for their lives. With Kurogiri still out the villains had no way of escaping. The only villain brave, or rather dumn enough to attack was Toga.
"Come on Izuku! I liked you better when you were a mindless zombie!" said Toga as she stabbed into Izuku's chest.
Groaning in pain Izuku stumbled back, but he soon recovered and retracting his claws he punched Toga in the face.
The sheer impact shattered her nose, flying back Toga slid to a stop. She tried to stand up straight but soon found herself wobbling. "That was for Ochaco. The cuts around her body, that was you wasn't it? I could have killed you a few moments ago, but I chose not too. I'll cut you as many times as you cut Ochaco."
With blood dripping down her nose Toga licked the blood off of her lip. "Oh this is going to be fun." She said with a creepy smile on her face.
Giving the villains no chance to think Izuku appeared in front of Spinner, raising his claws Izuku swiped down. Spinner instinctively put his blades up to block but they were no match for Izuku's adamantium claws.
Slicing through the blades, Izuku managed to cut Spinner on the chest from top to bottom. Blood splattered across the floor as the villain's eyes rolled behind his head.
Turning Izuku began to run towards Shigaraki, but that's when Dabi appeared and raised his hand. "I'll just burn you like Todoroki did in the sports festival!" He yelled out as blue flames erupted from his hands.
The fire hit Izuku head on, "Yes, you got him!" Said Twice.
"He's not down yet," warned the doctor. "Keep the fire going!"
At that moment Izuku appeared from the flames, his body so badly burned that parts of his skin were black. Half of his face was reduced to nothing but the red of muscle, seeing that Dabi took a step back. "What the hell! He doesn't care about the pain?"
Shigaraki turned, "Magne!"
"On it!" Clapping her hands together Magne began to activate her quirk magnetism. Suddenly Izuku's body began to glow blue, along with the other male members of the league. Everytime Izuku would try to get in close, Magne's quirk would repel him away.
"If we are going to get that gun it's now or never." Said the doctor.
Shigaraki nodded, "The girl has it right, Toga, get the gun!"
"With pleasure!" Nodding Toga ran towards Ochaco.
Izuku saw this and seeing that he was being pushed away he decided to use that to his advantage. At top speed Izuku ran towards Dabi, but once again thanks to Magne's quirk he was repelled. But that's exactly what Izuku wanted, using the momentum Izuku rocketed towards Toga.
Toga was just a few feet away from grabbing the gun when Izuku came out of nowhere and tackled her to the ground. Thanks to Izuku's weight and the speed he was going, when he slammed against her several bones shattered. Rolling to a stop, Izuku laid atop of the villain, "This is for Ochaco."
Toga's eyes widened as she reached and threw several knives at Izuku. Each stabbed him in various places but they didn't even faze him.
With a SNIKT sound Izuku dug his claws into both of Toga's shoulders. Pulling them out Izuku repeated this action over and over again by stabbing her in various places around her body but always making sure to miss vital organs.
Only after blood stained the floor Izuku stopped, "Well, you wanted blood didn't you? Then here you go, as much as you want so enjoy bathing in it."
Getting up Izuku turned his head towards Magne, she screeched as she saw his blood covered face. But before she could even react a large piece of rubble came flying at her, the piece hit the villain in the face knocking her out. "Three down, more to go. So, who's next?" Asked Izuku.
Shigaraki clenched his teeth, "I'll turn you to ash!"
Running at Izuku, Shigaraki put his hand out. However, to his surprise Izuku simply stood there. "Die!" Yelled out Shigaraki as he was just inches from touching him.
"So stupid," said Izuku as he ducked under his hand. Now underneath Izuku thrusted his claws upward and stabbed into the palms of Shigaraki's hand.
Shigaraki yelled out in pain but through his screams he tried to touch Izuku again with his other hand, only to have three claws stab through his palms. "Fuck!"
Pulling his claws free, Izuku swiped his claws across Shigaraki's chest. Followed by his legs, arms, and finally his face. Falling to his knees the villain could do nothing as Izuku grabbed him by the hair and slammed his face into the ground. "You shouldn't have fucked with me Shigaraki."
With blood dripping down the three slash marks across his face Shigaraki spoke, "F-Fuck off! I'll kill you for this."
Picking up Shigaraki, Izuku flipped him over onto his back. "Oh right, I almost forgot. I was going to carve out your heart. Silly me, now, let's begin shall we?"
Retracting the two outer claws and leaving only the middle one, Izuku began to press it against Shigaraki's chest. A small amount of blood began to appear as Izuku made the incision. "Right about here. Yeah, right here should be your heart."
Shigaraki groaned in pain as he felt the cold blade cut him, "F-Fuck you, you're just an animal."
Izuku stopped and moved his hand back, "Maybe you're right, maybe I've been denying what I really am. But this animal just caught it's prey, and I'm hungry."
Shigaraki's eyes widened as Izuku raised his claws, but before he could bring them down on the villain black and red tendrils stabbed into and through Izuku's abdomen.
"I would appreciate it if you wouldn't kill him. He's important, I can't have him dying yet." Said All For One.
Izuku spit out blood as he turned his head, "You just made the biggest mistake of your life."
Thanks to All Might the helmet covering AFO's face was gone, exposing his disfigured face for all to see. "No, I don't think I did. You, on the other hand, did."
With the tendrils still attached to Izuku, AFO lifted him up into the sky. Now high above the battlefield AFO let Izuku fall. With a loud thoom Izuku hit the floor so hard that he made a crater. With Izuku out of commission AFO turned to Shigaraki, "It's time for you to go."
Shigaraki's eyes widened, "Go, go where?"
"My time here is up Shigaraki, now it's time for you to stand on your own two feet." Said All For One.
"But there's still so much you have to teach me. You can't leave me yet." Said Shigaraki.
"Sorry, but if you don't leave now, all of you will die." That's when AFO heard the ground shift, Izuku was healing and getting back up. "We are out of time." Pointing his hand at a down Kurogiri, AFO activated a quirk and forced a black portal to open. He then turned to Magne and forced her quirk to activate as well.
With Toga as the negative side and all the rest of the guys positive, everyone went flying at Toga. Badly bleeding and with no way of slowing down the others everyone crashed into each other and went through the portal. The doctor tried to reach for the gun but was stopped just inches from it. "Master!" Yelled out Shigaraki as he tried to fight against the portal.
The doctor turned to Shigaraki, "Leave it! We have another way to deal with him! It's almost ready!"
AFO smiled, "Good, and remember what I've taught you son. Goodbye."
Shigaraki was about to say something when all of a sudden Izuku came flying at him, claws at the ready. "You're not going anywhere!" He yelled out.
Waving his hand, AFO forced Shigaraki through the portal, just as Izuku came in and swung his claws down. He caught nothing but black smoke, "Where did they go!?"
"Somewhere far away, not even with your heightened senses will you be able to find them." Explained AFO.
Izuku gritted his teeth, "I'll find them, I'll find them all! And send them down to hell!"
"Then why don't you go down there first." Raising his hand, All For One fired a blast of wind that knocked Izuku back several feet.
Sliding on the ground Izuku tore it up before digging his claws into it and popping himself up. "I'll just have to kill you first then!"
Izuku then ran towards the villain and all the while AFO fired blasts of compressed air. Side stepping Izuku managed to dodge most of them, now only a few meters away Izuku jumped into the air. Only to have a spiraling wind gust pierce his abdomen. The blast ripped through Izuku's intestinal tract and came out the back, leaving behind a hole that you can see through. Only his adamantium spine was seen.
Falling to the floor Izuku landed beside a demoralized All Might in his skinny form. "W-What the hell are you doing?" Asked Izuku as his body began to heal.
"I-It's over, we can't win. My power is gone and I failed to protect anyone." Said All Might as he kneeled and hung his head low.
Izuku then retracted his claws and with a hole in his abdomen he surprised everyone by actually standing. "Don't give me that crap." All Might turned to Izuku. "You saved me, didn't you? You even saved that girl from All For One. You are All Might, the god damn symbol of peace!"
All Might looked up, "B-But my power?"
Walking over Izuku grabbed All Might by his costume, "Listen here All Might and you listen good. Ochaco did not die just for you to give up; she believed that you could do anything. I won't let you quit now, so get your ass up and go beyond, plus ultra."
"M-Midoriya... you're right. I have to go beyond! I will stop him at all costs." Said All Might as he stood up.
"Wow, that was almost impressive." Said All For One. "Now if you are done giving your speeches I'd like to kill you two now."
Everyone around the world watched as All For One's arm began to mutate as he activated all of his strongest quirks all at the same time. "Now let's get this over with."
Izuku popped his claws, "I think it's time for you to bulk up now All Might."
All Might tried too but found that he could only muster up the strength to power up his left arm. "No good, I only have enough power for one last good hit."
Izuku nodded, "One is all you'll need to throw me." All Might looked at Izuku confused, "You heard me right, throw me. I'll keep him focused on me while you go in for the final hit."
"Sounds like a plan. Let's go!" Grabbing Izuku by the arm, All Might began to spin around, faster and faster until finally All Might let go.
Izuku flew at All For One with his claws out, "Is this it? Your final plan, how pathetic!"
Diving down All For One met Izuku head on, a loud boom was heard as the two crashed. As the camera zoomed in, all of Japan was shocked to see Izuku with his claws dug into the villains chest.
Izuku smirked, "Nice try boy, but it will take a lot more than that to take me down." Reaching out with his other hand, All For One touched Izuku's arms. Feeling something funny, Izuku's eyes widened when all of a sudden the flesh of his arms peeled off, leaving nothing but metal bones. Izuku screamed out in pain as he was suddenly thrown toward a building. "Stupid boy, did you really think you could defeat me?"
With blood running down his face and his arm healing up Izuku smiled, "I wasn't trying to, I was just a distraction."
"What!?" Looking back, All For One saw All Might appear in front of him.
Swinging his left arm, All Might managed to land a hit, but it did little to nothing. "How weak! Let me show you what true power is!"
All For One raised his mutated arm but in that instant All Might transferred his strength into his right arm. "That's because I didn't put my back into it!"
With his right arm now buffed up and with the perfect opportunity All Might threw his fist forward. "United States of SMASH!"
The hit landed, a massive tornado that spanned several meters wide and several miles high appeared. The news helicopter that was flying ahead nearly crashed as a result.
Ochaco would have been blown away if it wasn't for the fact that Izuku jumped in front of her at the last second.
As the dust settled the world saw All Might standing above All For One, he had just won! All around Japan people cheered and called out All Might's name, buffing up one final time All Might put his arm towards the sky.
However not everyone was celebrating, looking to his right All Might found Izuku holding Ochaco's body.
Limping his way towards him, All Might reverted back to his skinny form. "Midoriya…"
"You know it's funny actually. I thought with her around that I could have a normal life. Whenever she was around it seemed that my past didn't matter. She found something that I thought I lost, happiness. But now that she's gone…" Izuku then looked at All Might with tears in his eyes. "Can I even be happy anymore?"
All Might kneeled down beside Izuku and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Yes you can Midoriya, if there's anything you want me to do, I'll do it."
Izuku wiped away the tears, "Anything?" All Might nodded. "There is one thing."
Pulling out the gun that Ochaco had, Izuku presented it to All Might. "That gun has an adamantium bullet, it's the only thing that can hurt me. Take it."
All Might took the gun and looked at it, "What are you asking me to do?"
Izuku looked All Might in the eyes, "I want you to shoot me All Might. Kill me."
All Might's eyes widened, "What!? No! I won't do that!"
Izuku grabbed All Might's costume, "Please All Might, I don't want to suffer anymore. I've done terrible things, I've killed too many people. I deserve to die. Do it."
With a bit of Izuku's help All Might now held the gun with it pointed right at Izuku's head. "N-No! I refuse! We can still help you Midoriya!"
"Do it All Might! Kill me! You'll be hailed a hero for it! Kill me!" Yelled out Izuku.
"No! This isn't what Ochaco would want!" Argued All Might.
"It's what I want. Please, every night I have nightmares, I can remember everything, every kill, every face, every...ounce...of...pain. Let me rest." Begged Izuku.
But All Might refused, "No, I won't do it."
Izuku shut his eyes, "I see, then I'm sorry All Might, you won't have a choice."
Opening his eyes Izuku popped his claws and held them to All Might's chest. "If you don't kill me, I'll just have to kill you."
All Might's eyes widened, "Midoriya.."
"It's you or me All Might! Choose, now. If you don't do it, then someone else will." Said Izuku as he pressed his claws against All Might's chest.
All Might gritted his teeth, "Damn you Midoriya!"
That's when Izuku saw All Might hold the gun up, followed by the clicking of the hammer. Hearing that, Izuku smiled, "Thank you All Might. Tell my mom that I'm sorry she had me."
Closing his eyes, Izuku waited for the bullet. All Might's hands trembled as he had his finger on the trigger. Killing Izuku would put an end to his suffering, but could All Might really kill the person he was trying to help?
All Might screamed as his finger began to squeeze the trigger but just as he was about to fire something told him to stop. "Damn it Midoriya! I just can't! There has to be a away to help you! You heal don't you? What's stopping you from healing from this experience too!?"
Izuku's face turned to one of rage, "I'm too broken All Might! No amount of help, no amount of healing powers can…" However that's when he came to a realization, "My healing factor... can it?"
All Might put the gun down, "Can it what?"
Leaning down, Izuku tried to hear a heartbeat but couldn't. "Her heart stopped, then that means. God please let this work."
Retracting two of his claws and leaving only one Izuku cut his hand deep enough for him to bleed. "Midoriya what are you doing?" Asked All Might, surprised. He was even more surprised when Izuku suddenly ripped Ochaco's shirt exposing her chest and with his one claw he began to slice her open. "Midoriya!?"
With an open chest wound exposing her heart Izuku let his blood flow into the wound he created. He then reached in and grabbed Ochaco's heart and began to pump it manually. 'While I was captured the doctor kept taking my blood. I heard them say something about it being special. They must have been talking about my healing powers. My powers aren't real quirks, I wasn't born with them, they are artificial. Meaning that they had to inject them into me. Still though, I'm not sure this will work….Please Ochaco, come back to me.'
After 5 minutes of manually pumping Ochaco's heart it still wasn't beating. "Midoriya, stop, I know your blood is special but it can't bring back the dead. She's gone." said All Might.
Stopping, Izuku pulled his hand out, "What do I do without her? How do I go on?"
"You find a reason, Uraraka gave up her life so you could live. Don't let her sacrifice go to waste." said All Might.
"You'll do that, right after you pay for your crimes." said a voice behind Izuku. Looking back Izuku saw Naomasa, several police officers in full riot gear, and several pro heroes walking towards him. "Izuku Midoriya, you are under arrest."
"Wait Naomasa you can't! Midoriya had no control over himself, the villains forced him to do all those things." said All Might trying to plead for leniency.
"Sorry All Might, I know you said we'd give you a chance but things are different now." explained Naomasa.
All Might stepped forward, "No! Midoriya is under my custody now. You won't take him."
"All Might do you realise what you are saying? You are impeding on official police business, even if you just saved us all there will be consequences." said Naomasa.
"It's alright All Might, I'll go with them." said Izuku, much to All Might's surprise. "They're right, I need to pay for what I did. Please, just promise me that you'll take care of Ochaco and tell her family that I'm sorry."
"Midoriya…" All Might then saw Izuku slowly get up. "You don't have to do this."
"I do, keep that bullet safe. In case I ever do go evil again I want you to use it." said Izuku as he walked towards the police.
All Might looked at the gun and felt disgusted, he actually thought about shooting Izuku for a moment. Holding the gun in the palm of his hand he managed to squeeze out a bit of his power and crush the gun.
Izuku and everyone else watched as pieces of the gun crumbled to the floor leaving only the bullet behind. Closing his fist All Might threw his arm back and with everything he had left he launched the bullet into the air. The bullet flew high into the sky, so far up that it left earth's atmosphere. "Why?" asked Izuku.
"If you ever do go back to the dark side, I will take you down myself." said All Might.
Izuku smiled, "Let's hope we don't fight again."
Now half way from All Might and the police Izuku took a deep breath. As he exhaled he suddenly heard something, the sound of a heartbeat. Stopping Izuku turned around and looked at Ochaco, the police looked at him confused, "Midoriya, get over here now." instructed Naomasa.
However Izuku was too busy focusing, he heard a heartbeat he just knew it. Everyone then watched as Izuku ran towards Ochaco, falling to his knees he began to check her, "All Might!"
Running over All Might's eyes went wide, "I-Impossible…" the wounds on Ochaco's abdomen was healing.
"Come on Ochaco, come on come back." said Izuku as the wounds closed up. The battlefield fell silent as they waited for something to happen. After 2 minutes everyone heard a loud inhale. Tears began to well up in Izuku's eyes as he looked down to see Ochaco's chest rising and falling.
A few moments later and to the surprise of everyone Ochaco opened her eyes. Looking around she noticed everyone surrounding her, "W-What happened?"
Izuku grabbed her hand, "Ochaco! Oh thank god it worked."
"I-Izuku?" Ochaco then smiled, "It's good to see you again and not mind controlled. I feel weak…"
Izuku let out a sad laugh, "It's good to be back, and it's okay you can rest. You're safe now, it's all over now."
Closing her eyes Ochaco fell unconscious, "I want to take Ochaco to the hospital, after she gets the treatment she needs you can do with me as you wish. I don't want to fight anymore but if you stop me or slow me down from getting to the hospital, I promise it won't end well for you." said Izuku as he reached down and picked up Ochaco princess style.
The police and heroes looked at each other, "Alright Midoriya," Naomasa then turned to the police and heroes. "Half of you secure this area, the other half give Midoriya and escort. The nearest hospital is 5 miles away, make sure there's a trauma team on standby." He then turned to Midoriya, "Follow me, we have ambulances ready and waiting."
Izuku nodded, "Thanks for this." with that Izuku, with Ochaco in his arms, ran towards the ambulance where he got in and left for the hospital.
Minutes later Izuku and Ochaco made it to the hospital, the doctors there took Ochaco away to make sure everything was okay and now Izuku was once again alone, his hands still covered in blood. One of the nurses instructed him to wait outside, finding a bench, Izuku sat down and finally had a moment to himself.
Looking at his hands he noticed that he was trembling and covered in blood, he then clenched his fists. Izuku tried to calm himself, but nothing was working. As he was waiting on news about Ochaco, her parents arrived. They didn't say much, they did ask if he was alright to which he responded yes. But their main concern was for their daughter, so after talking to a nurse they were allowed in to see her.
Again alone and still sitting on the bench Izuku still couldn't calm down, "Damn it all, why am I like this? Everywhere I go I only bring death. Am I really just a weapon?"
"No, you aren't." said a voice. Izuku looked up to see that it was Nezu. "You have a lot of baggage, but you are Izuku Midoriya." Nezu then took a seat beside Izuku, "You have a lot to answer for, many, many crimes you've committed. At the best you'll get life in prison, at the worst they'll try to find a way to kill you."
Izuku sighed, "I know, but I already gave my word that I would give myself up. Maybe that's for the best, at least in prison I won't hurt anyone."
"Is that what you really want?" asked Nezu. "What about Uraraka?"
"I-I want to be with her, I really do. But I bring nothing but death, she's better off finding someone else." said Izuku with sadness in his eyes.
"I see, but what if I told you there is a way you can be free and spend time with her?" Izuku looked at Nezu.
"Are you serious?" asked Izuku.
Nezu nodded, "Yes, it may require some string pulling but I can help. I know the last time we talked we ended on bad terms, but just give me this one chance. If you find it unsatisfactory we will help you escape."
Izuku raised an eyebrow, "Why now? All you've done was lie to me. Give me one good reason to trust you?"
"In all honesty, I would rather not have to make an enemy of you. We can work together, change your public image, you can even come back to the school." said Nezu.
Izuku thought about it, "What's stopping you from betraying me in the future?"
"Nothing really, but you made it very clear last time that you could kill me whenever you wanted. And now that All Might is all but likely to retire, you can do it with ease." explained Nezu.
"I'm listening." said Izuku.
"In simple terms, you will work for UA. Not a student or a teacher but rather an advisor of some sort. But in reality, you'll help us deal with villains, a vigilante if you will." Explained Nezu.
"Wouldn't the cops just come after me?" Asked Izuku.
Nezu shook his head, "No, they'll know about you, but won't be able to touch you. UA has some, special privileges, when it comes to this stuff."
"Sounds to me like you'll just make me into a lap dog for UA." Said Izuku.
"Think of it as a partnership. We'll provide you a place to stay, salary, and other things. You will just have to take down villains." Said Nezu. Just then the doors to the room where Ochaco was being treated opened up and out walked a doctor. Nezu got up from his seat, "Think it over, you have until Uraraka is out of this hospital to make your choice."
With that Nezu walked away leaving Izuku alone, "Midoriya was it? The girl you brought in, she's going to be fine and is in stable condition."
Izuku let out a sigh of relief, "Thank you doctor."
"She also requested to speak with you. Go ahead, she's in room 437." Nodding Izuku went through the doors and began looking for the room.
Finding it he noticed that the room had a glass panel you could see through it. Looking in, Izuku smiled at the sight of Ochaco talking to her parents. Just a while ago she was dead and now, now she is alive and well.
Sensing Izuku's presence Mr and Mrs. Uraraka looked at Izuku through the glass. They turned to Ochaco, said a few words, before getting up and walking out of the room.
Now standing in front of Izuku they looked at the boy, "Midoriya…thank you for saving our daughter." They both said in unison and bowed their heads.
Izuku was stunned, "N-No, please stop, I don't deserve this. You saw what I did, I killed Ochaco...and for that I am so sorry."
The parents looked at each other, "Son, look at her…" Instructed Mr. Uraraka. Izuku looked through the glass to see Ochaco laying on the bed with the back up. "She's alive thanks to you. Yes we saw when you stabbed her, but we also saw how you cried and then healed her. If it wasn't for you, our baby girl would be dead."
That's when Mrs. Uraraka stepped forward, "My husband is right, we've spoken with your mother and we know you've been through a lot. So we don't blame you for what happened, and I believe neither does Ochaco. But that's something you'll have to ask her."
Izuku took a deep breath and steeled his nerves, "You know, I faced death more times than I can count and never felt nervous. But when it comes to Ochaco, I can't stop feeling nervous."
Mr. Uraraka smiled, "That's because you love her. Now get in there, don't keep her waiting."
Nodding Izuku walked into the room. Closing the door behind him he walked over to the side of the bed, "Hey Ochaco, how you feeling?"
Ochaco smiled, "Amazing actually, whatever you did it worked wonders. Although, it did leave a few scars." Unbuttoning the bottom buttons of her hospital shirt she revealed three scars on her abdomen.
They were in the exact spot where Izuku stabbed her. Izuku's heart sank, "Ochaco, I just want to say…"
However before he could say anything else Ochaco leaned over and kissed Izuku on the lips. After a few seconds she pulled away, "Don't you dare apologize. This wasn't your fault. This wasn't you, the true you."
Izuku looked away, "You're wrong, that was the real me. The freak, the menace, the Wolverine...the weapon."
"No it wasn't!" Yelled out Ochaco. "You are Izuku Midoriya, you are my boyfriend, and an amazing person. Don't you ever call yourself a weapon again."
Izuku's eyes softened, "Ochaco…" he then felt something touch his hands. Looking down he noticed Ochaco had gently lifted his hands by the fingers, and using her thumbs she touched the space between his knuckles where his claws came out.
She then moved up his arm touching the back of his hands, followed by the wrist, and finally the forearm. "I could feel them, your claws."
"Claws covered in blood. Yours too." Said Izuku.
"Yes, but I've seen them save people too. There's still good in you Izuku, you just need to let go of your past." Said Ochaco.
Izuku pulled his hands away, "I don't think I can. Everytime I close my eyes I can feel it, pain, and it never goes away. That's why when I thought I lost you, I begged All Might to kill me using the adamantium bullet."
Ochaco's eyes widened, "W-What…"
"He almost did too, I threatened him, it was either going to be me or him. But in the end he couldn't do it." Explained Izuku.
That's when Izuku was suddenly slapped across the face by a very angry Ochaco. "Owww that hurt, I forgot your bones are made of adamantium. No, wait you're a fucken idiot! How could you do something like that!? Give me the bullet right now, I want the bullet!"
"I don't have it, after All Might refused to kill me he threw it into space." Hearing that Ochaco relaxed a bit, until she remembered something.
"Then give me the other one, you had two, gave one to me and kept the other one. Where is it?" Asked Ochaco.
"Somewhere safe." Is all Izuku said. "I'm sorry but I won't give you it."
"Why?" Asked Ochaco.
Izuku's face turned serious, "Because I'm going to shoot the bullet right into the doctor's head myself. After today I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that happens."
His threat sent a shiver down Ochaco's spine, "How do you plan on doing that? The police are probably looking for you."
Izuku nodded, "They are, but Nezu gave me a proposition. Work for UA doing odd jobs and I get to keep my freedom."
"Really? That sounds amazing, what's the catch?" Asked Ochaco knowing that there was a catch.
"The catch is that I basically become a vigilante. I would go out and take down villains." Explained Izuku. "I didn't want to hurt people any more but if it means I get to stay with you then it would be worth it."
"Izuku... alright fine. But I want you to do something for me and you can't say no." Izuku nodded. "I want you to get help, real help, I know you don't like people messing with your brain but a psychologist can help."
Izuku sighed, "I'll try, but I can't guarantee anything."
Ochaco nodded, "It's a start."
"So how's your hand, you just hurt it didn't you? Anything broke?" Asked Izuku concerned.
Ochaco moved her wrist around, "No, no pain."
"Interesting, guess my blood really is special." Explained Izuku.
"How so?" Asked Ochaco.
"When you died I used my blood to heal you. In all honesty I didn't think it would work, but I had to try something. And now it looks like you gained a slight healing factor. It's not as strong as mine but it's something." Said Izuku, much to Ochaco's surprise.
"Really? Wow, okay that's interesting. I do feel a bit stronger than usual, maybe that's why." Ochaco shrugged. "Questions for another day, right now you're staying by my side until I leave."
Izuku smiled, "Wouldn't even dream of leaving again."
As the two talked and enjoyed each other's company a new threat was brewing. All For One may have been defeated but Shigaraki was still out there, and so was the doctor.
Unknown Location
Shigaraki, along with the rest of the league, fell out of the portal. "Damn it! We have to go back!" Yelled out Shigaraki.
However, that's when the doctor stepped in front of him, "No, look at us, we are injured and barely have the strength to move. If we go back now, the master's sacrifice would have been in vain."
Shigaraki gritted his teeth, "Then what do we do?"
"First we heal, then we find someone who can help us, and lucky for us I know exactly who. They also have a new type of weapon they were making for master." Explained the doctor.
Shigaraki raised an eyebrow, "A new weapon? That can kill Izuku?"
The doctor nodded, "Yes, we never intended for Izuku to be the only one. He was just the first successful toy we invented. Secretly master has been working with the Yakuza on this project."
"This project, what's its name?" Asked Shigaraki.
"Project Monarch." Now in another undisclosed location, a large tube was seen in the middle of what looked like a lab. You could vaguely see an outline inside the water filled tube. Going in for a closer look you see wires attached to this person. The person's eyes are closed but all of a sudden they suddenly snap open, you are greeted by red eyes and an all too familiar sound.

AN: Oh shit! First let me just say, yes it's possible for Wolverine's blood to do just that. He did it once in Savage Avengers #2, he brought Brother Voodoo back to life exactly like Izuku did with Ochaco. Don't ask me how, but I looked it up and got that. Second of all, does Ochaco now have a healing factor? Yes, but it's not supid op like Izuku's. At best she can heal from a major cut in a day or something. She's not op, she still has her quirk. Third, you should be able to guess who I'm going to introduce soon, with an ending like that you know, if you don't, guess. So what does Nezu want Izuku to do exactly? Will Izuku's life return to some sort of normalcy? What, or who, is the mystery in the tank? Find out next time, until then stay safe!
