Chapter 6
('Thoughts' Flashbacks/dreams)

Izuku was in awe as he looked at the large building with wide eyes, the building was larger than a normal sized stadium so it made sense to have it a half an hour away from the school. She was going over the rules and explaining how all quirks could be dangerous if used wrong and civilians could be harmed or killed.
"But that is why we have the Unexpected Simulation Joint! Or as I like to call it USJ!" She said,
'It sounds like a rip off of Universal Studio Japan…..' Izuku thought.
Rubbing his wrists lightly to try and sooth the pain from last night's punishment for being at UA. Izuku snapped back into reality when he heard Kirishma cheer.
"Cool! There are even fake villains here!" He said, looking excited.
Izuku looked at the villains and slowly began to pale, about half of them had dated his mother before she broke up with them. Izuku stumbled back a bit as a villain with a hand for a mask stepped forward, his stance was casual and relaxed which made Izuku tense since he knew one of his mother's boyfriends was alway relaxed and casual.
"Ah I see that All Might isn't here… our informant must have been wrong." He said in a bored tone, "Geeze that sucks I have gathered all these 'fine' people just for him… they all want to meet All Might." He rambled a bit before turning to look at a misty-like person. "Kurogiri…"
"Those are real villains!" Aizawa stated, stepping in front of his class.
Izuku saw the villains grin as they looked at the class before their smiles turned into sneers when they saw Izuku. Aizawa saw that and put on his yellow goggles and jumped towards the villains.
"THIRTEEN PROTECT THE STUDENTS!" he shouted before activating his quirk.
"Alright everyone out of the building!" Thirteen advised.
Everyone started to turn to the door when Izuku felt the familiar feeling of strings wrapping around his wrist, waist and ankles before being pulled away from his friends. Katsuki turned to look at Izuku before running towards his friend.
"IZUKU!" Katsuki shouted.
"KACCHAN!" Izuku cried out as he was being dragged away towards a ginning psychopath.
This caused Thirteen to try and use her quirk to save Izuku but a black warp gate countered her quirk and caused her great deal of pain as another gate opened behind her. Izuku fell onto his back and felt his gym uniform rip the rough ground.
"Hello again brat, how is your mother?" The low level criminal spat.
Izuku struggled as he inwardly cursed his mother for her poor choice in men. The villain didn't take Izuku's lack of acknowledgment to kindly. Katsuki watched as his friend held back screams of pain before rushing to save his friend while his classmates shouted for him to come back. The two main villains also took notice of the greenette's lack of screams before deciding to separate the students.

Iida had a mission from Thirteen and his classmates, that was to go and get help in order to save his classmates and to put an end to the villains plans. Thankfully his classmates made a plan that would allow him to escape without being caught.
Katsuki was too busy fighting a group of villains to save his friend, that is when he and Everyone heard what Izuku shouted when the villain threw him into a fountain trying to drown the teen.
"I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY MY STUPID MOTHER DATED ANY OF YOU VILLAINS! YOU ALL ARE JUST CONTROLLING AND FLAT OUT ABUSIVE! NOW GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF ME!" Izuku shouted before activating One for All and punched the villain in the face, sending him flying.
Shigaraki Tomura looked at the teen with great interest but inwardly frowned that a hero in training looked down on his mother and that was when he and everyone else noticed the deep dark purple bruise under his eye.
Shota took notice and all of the red flags that went off when it came to Midoriya Izuku made sense, child abuse. That was when all the villains turned to Izuku and growled.
"How did that Quirkless brat do that." One hissed.
"I don't know but he needs to be reminded of his place in this world." another growled.
Izuku stumbled out of the fountain coughing up water that he had swallowed from his shout, unaware of all of the villains' eyes being trained on him. Then they rushed towards the teen, who was slowly beginning to breath again, and attacked. Izuku felt pain all over his already battered body as sharp blows came down upon him. Shigaraki scratched his neck in annoyance because one all of the male villains are targeting a child who just happened to be a child of their ex, and two they don't seem to care about the plan to kill All Might!
"Man… what a pain, they aren't following the rules. Kurogiri… Remind me why Sensei wanted these Low-lifes again?" He asked, spitting out 'Low-lives' like it was an insult.
Kurogiri appeared next to the pale blue villain and sighed.
"They were supposed to help aid you in your mission but by the looks of it…. They are dumber than a blind bat in daylight. Also one of the students escaped and went to go get help, but that also means that All Might will come." The mist villain said.
"Good then Nomu, take care of that pesky hero." the bluenette commanded and watched as the bird-like creature rushed off to do as commanded.
=o=
Katsuki grunted as he punched the last villain in the face rendering him unconscious, he dropped the villain to the ground before turning to Kirishima who also dropped a villain on the ground.
"Dude that was so manly!" the redhead said rushing over to the blond.
"Whatever I got to get to Izuku… He has a lot to explain about his relationship with his mother." Katsuki said before running out of the building with Kirishima running after him.
"Yeah! Let's go help Midoriya!" The redhead cheered.
Katsuki growled before running faster as they heard a faint sound of a muffled scream or sobs coming from the area where Izuku was pulled to. When the two teens burst into the area they were greeted with the sight of their teacher being beaten by a bird-like creature and Izuku's gym uniform torn. His whole torso was exposed both front and back, revealing burns, scars, cuts bruises and claw marks. Izuku's face was no better either, his right eye was black and swollen shut, nose broken and bleeding a thick gush of blood while he sported a split lip with blood dribbling down his chin. The teen looked skinny and frail, completely underweight and to the point you could count his ribs.
Katsuki growled before charging forward and blasting villains away from his friend, Kirishima also helped defend the greenette as he fought to stay awake tears fell from his eyes. That is when help arrived.
"Have no fear! Why? Because I am here!" All Might said, but no smile was present only a look of anger could be seen on the blond heroes usually smiling face.
In the blink of an eye all of the students who were in danger were saved Aizawa was saved from the Nomu and layed on the ground beside his students. When All Might saw Katsuki, Kirishima and Midoriya his body trembled in burning rage and fury at the sight. He saved the three and looked at a deathly pale Izuku with worry.
"A-a-al-all M-m-m-mig-might?" Izuku's voice was weak and broken.
"I am here Young Midoriya, you and your class are safe now." the hero said.
A weak sob broke through the silent building, Shigaraki could hear the pain and the relief of his hero telling him that he was safe. The villain made a mental note to look into the young boy's history for later before sending his nomu to fight All Might.
To say the battle was devastating was an understatement of the century. The Villains who were still after Midoriya were left unconscious from the aftershock of All Mights punches, the nomu was rendered useless after two hundred plus punches in one area. This caused the two main villains to flee, after Shigaraki was shot a few times, promising vengeance against them all but not before the red eyed villain took in Izuku's unconscious form.
The fight was over, the villains lost and the heroes won.
Katsuki gently cradled Izuku to his chest while watching Present Mic do the same with Aizawa, Uraraka rushed over but Katsuki growled at her when she tried to take Izuku from him.
"Don't touch him!" Katsuki growled.
"The way you are holding him is irritating his injuries! Your hold on him is too strong! I am gentler than you are being!" She stated.
"I'm sorry that I care too much for my childhood friend, I'm sorry that I wasn't fast enough to save him from his mother! I'M SORRY THAT I WASN'T THERE FOR HIM WHEN HIS SO CALLED LOVING MOTHER DID THIS TO MY FRIEND! I'M SORRY THAT I HAD TO STAND BY TRYING TO FIND AWAY TO SAVE HIM WITHOUT BLASTING THAT WOMAN INTO NEXT YEAR!" Katsuki shouted, tears poured from his eyes as he glared daggers into the shocked brunettes wide brown eyes.
"Bakugo, are you saying that… Midoriya is being abused?" Present Mic asked.
Katsuki looked at the pro hero with fiery red eyes.
"Yes, ever since he was four…. I think…. Could have been longer but I don't want that stupid woman near my friend." Katsuki said, glancing at his friend and gently wiping away some blood from under his nose. "He is much safer with my family…. He always smiled brighter with us." he said softly.

It was Sunday when Izuku's severe injuries finished healing and he was able to be released from the hospital. Though All Might, the Principal, the Bakugo's, a close Detective friend of All Might and surprisingly Eraserhead and Present Mic were all in the room waiting with the teen. Izuku was extremely confused by this until the door opened with his doctor coming in…. Followed by Max and his mother. Izuku froze, not noticing the looks that conformed everything.
"Oh Izu-kun! Your alright! I was so scared when I heard about the villain attack! I'm so glad that you're alright!" She cried as she rushed to the teen, who was frozen in fear and panic.
Mitsuki stepped in front of Izuku and glared at Inko, the heroes followed in the fiery woman's action and separated Izuku from his mother. The police detective pulled out a pair of handcuffs and stood at the ready. Katsuki and his father stood next to Izuku with arms wrapped around him glaring at the young teens mother.
"Inko you selfish dog! You lied to us! You *****! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Izuku so underweight and covered in both old and new injuries! Where the heck did you go for you so called 'Trip' this summer?" The Ash blond woman snapped.
"Mitsuki-chan! I didn't lie to you! Izuku and I traveled around Tokyo and stayed at a nice hotel for a bit before traveling some more." Inko lied.
"Would you care to repeat that Ms. Midoriya? This time the truth instead of a lie." The detective asked.
Inko paled while Izuku finally figured out what was going on. He was being saved, he looked at his mother before looking at the detective and spoke up.
"I… I can call someone who…. Who found me." Izuku said.
Inko looked at Izuku with rage hidden behind a fake look of hurt.
"Izu honey don't tell lies, you were with me the whole summer." She insisted.
Present Mic handed Izuku his phone and Izuku quickly put the number that he was happy to memorize into the phone before putting it on speaker. After a few rings a familiar female voice spoke up.
"Hello? Tsuchikawa Ryūko speaking."
"H-hello Tsuchikawa-san, i-it's me M-Midoriya Izuku…" Izuku greeted with a small smile.
"Ah! Midoriya-kun! I'm so happy to hear from you again! Are you alright! Are you stranded in the forest again? Do you need me to pick up some food for you?" The blond shot out question after question in worry.
"Ah… no I'm fine…. I'm at the hospital with a few people and if it isn't too much to ask but could you tell the detective where you had found me…. Before you took me home.." Izuku explained before they heard a hum.
"Yes… I found you alone about a good three hours away from the city… but if you were to continue walking about a week or two…. Plus you were skinny and looked like you hadn't eaten a decent meal in ages! Not to mention a decent shower as well. To be honest Midoriya-kun you looked like someone had abandoned you and left you for dead." the pro hero said, sadness could be heard at the end.
This made Inko angry to the point that she forgot that there were others in the room, Pro-Heroes no less, and she showed her true colours.
"IZUKU YOU SELFISH LITTLE BRAT! YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN PLAY THE 'INNOCENT' VICTIM WHEN REALLY YOU'RE THE ONE TO CAUSE HISAHI TO LEAVE ME BECAUSE YOU ARE A WORTHLESS, USELESS, QUIRKLESS BRAT! HOW DARE YOU LIVE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!" She shouted.
Izuku heard Tsuchikawa-san call out to Izuku before shouting at his mother and a lot of colourful words were shouted and aimed at Inko. That is when Mitsuki slapped Inko then Max was about to step in and hurt Mitsuki but Izuku shouted a simple phrase.
"Get away from my Auntie, Max! Or should I say Metarudoragon!" As soon as Izuku said the Villain's name, Aizawa activated his quirk and All Might restrained the villain in time for the doctor to subdate the villain.
Inko was about to attack the hero but Mitsuki grabbed her by the shoulder and punched her in the face and kneed her in the gut so hard that Inko fell unconscious.
"Wow… Way to go mom…" Katsuki choked out in shock.
"Midoriya-kun… Are you alright?" Tsuchikawa asked.
"Y-yeah…" Izuku stuttered out.
"Okay sweetie… Present Mic, me and the gang are coming up to visit Midoriya-kun and you can't stop us! I must see if the little kitten is alright! Midoriya-kun I will see you on Wednesday and we are going to take you out for treats and spoil you, invite any friend you want and we will spoil you both rotten. Bye bye sweetie!" She chirped before ending the call.
Izuku handed the phone back before looking at everyone with tears in his eyes.
"T-Th-thank you…" Izuku said, wiping the endless supply of tears away.
"We will do anything for you Izu," Mitsuki said before smiling. "Even doing something that not even Inko would do." She smirked.
"Of course besides I think this is the best option really." Masaru added.
Izuku looked as lost and confused, the heroes and the doctor and detective all smiled at the family and the young teen.
"Izuku you are never leaving my side again," Katsuki stated hugging his friend. "That is why the Hag and dad decided to adopt you into the family." Katsuki said, grinning widely.
Izuku froze at this.
'They…. Adopted me… they want me? I'm going to be brothers with Kacchan! I'm going to have a real loving family!' Izuku thought before looking at his friend and his parents with a wide tearful smile.
"Does this m-mean I can… Call you m-mom and d-dad?" Izuku asked.
Mitsuki and Masaru both nodded before pulling Izuku and Katsuki into a hug, Izuku sobbed in relief. All Might smiled at the sight along with everyone else, Izuku though he was still injured hugged his new family back as he smiled. He finally is safe and he will stay safe with his new family.
=o=
It had been a week since Inko and Max were arrested and a week since the Wild, Wild Pussycats came and visited the Bakugo's and literally spoiled Izuku and Katsuki along with a kid named Kota, who Izuku and Katsuki dubbed as their little brother, Izuku had so many photos of their time together and asked lots of questions about their quirks and got their signatures as well. So by the time the school reopened again after upping the security Izuku looked healthier than the first week of school and had gained his lost muscles, after doing some basic training with All Might and the Wild, Wild Pussycats.
"Come on Deku, we're gonna be late!" Katsuki called out as he slipped on his shoes.
"I'm coming Kacchan hold your horses!" Izuku called back as he ran to the ash blond teen with a strawberry pastry in his mouth while holding two apples in his hands.
Izuku handed an apple to his friend as he put on his shoes, they then ran out of the house as they called out a 'Bye' to their parents and ran to school. Izuku was a little nervous about going back, but after Aizawa and Tishinori talked to him about how it was going to be alright Izuku felt better…. Slightly. So when Izuku entered the room Uraraka pulled him into a hug and asked him if he was feeling alright.
Everyone looked at a surprised Izuku, who's face went a little red, before he just nodded.
"They know Izu… you don't have to hide anything." Katsuki said softly.
"Oh…" Izuku said, but all he saw were soft smiles and warmth from his classmates.
"So Midoriya how are you feeling? Are you safe at home? Do you need help with anything?" Iida asked, worry was in his voice.
Izuku smiled slightly at his classmate.
"Yeah, I am out of my mother's care… since my father left the picture years ago and wants nothing to do with me…. I got adopted into a better family." Izuku said, as he grabbed Bakugo's wrist to keep him from escaping.
"Oh! Who are they!" Kirishima asked.
"Yeah! Are they cool!" Denki asked.
Everyone asked a lot of questions, but Izuku smiled. He smiled brightly like he used to when he was with the Bakugo's when he was a kid.
"Yeah, they are really cool, super nice in their own way and I have a big brother." Izuku said, before side hugging Katsuki.
"Kacchan and his family are the ones to adopt me, I basically saw his parents as my parents since my 'Mother' neglected and abused me and my 'Father' left me and my 'mother' because he never wanted kids and that I was a 'Mistake' so I guess it wasn't all that hard for me to see my Auntie and Uncle as parental figures at a young age and Kacchan as a big brother as well." Izuku said.
Katsuki smiled at Izuku and patted his head before leading him to their seats, everyone got the hint that class was going to start soon and didn't want to face Aizawa's wrath. Though nobody, but Izuku and Katsuki, knew if their teacher was going to be in class or not. The class started trying to guess who is going to be teaching them for the time being, so when the door to their classroom opened half of the class were stilled in shock and surprise.
"Aizawa sensei!" The class shouted together.
He looked at the class with a bored look before going over to the podium, wrapped from head to toe in white bandages. Izuku looked at his teacher with a soft smile gracing his lips as he remembered that it was his teacher, along with the other Pro-Heroes, who helped in saving him from his mother and her boyfriend allowing him to finally be free of the pain and torment.
"Are you well enough to teach!" Iida asked with concern.
"Yes I am fine to teach… not like this would stop me anyways." The hero said, glancing at the door for a moment before looking at the class again.
Katsuki had a feeling that Present Mic didn't feel the same about the teacher coming in so early, especially after being injured, though he can't blame the loud hero he didn't want Izuku coming to school at all until he was fully healed.
"Anyways, your fight isn't over yet!" He said, causing everyone to panic.
Mineta cried saying that he didn't want to face any more villains, why he wanted to be a hero is anyone's guess, while others asked if there were more villains that they didn't know about.
"OI SHUT IT YOU EXTRA'S! SOME PEOPLE HERE ARE STILL HURT SO SHUT IT!" Katsuki snapped as he stood next to a groaning Izuku with his hand covering the greenette's ears.
This made the class go silent, Aizawa nodded his thanks to the teen before continuing on.
"No but you all must be prepared for the on-coming Sports festival." Aizawa said.
"WHAT!" Everyone shouted.
