The Scarecrow. Now that was a name everyone knew. From low level thugs to the top hero's they knew it. And it was all due to his fear toxin. A very powerful hallucinogenic has that was responsible for hundreds of deaths. All by suicide. But the thing was nobody ever saw Scarecrow. All deals were conducted at night and by a hired man, who ended up dead or missing after the deal.
And that was because Izuku wanted to make a grand entrance. But he had to have the proper attire. And so the Scarecrow outfit was born. It was nothing special really. It was basically a bunch of fabric with patches sown on here and there. But it had a light layer of thin body armour underneath. It had gloves, and he had a hood like shawl piece with it. But the mask was the best part. It covered his whole head, he had to cut his hair shorter so he didn't sweat a crap ton in it. It had a voice modifier that made his voice deeper and raspy with an air filtration system in it that acted as a gas mask. It also covered his eyes making them appear solid orange/yellow.
Naturally it had a few surprises in it. Izuku's contact had gotten him some advanced support gear that seamlessly fit in his outfit. In the sleeves there were toxin sprayers that with just a slight motion of his hand would emit a stream of his fear toxin from a canister hidden on his back underneath his outfit. He had a belt that stores small pellets full of his toxin and a gun in it, just in case. But the real beauty was his scythe. Since Izuku was going for a scarecrow motif, keeping with the theme he had a scythe made for him. It was a basic scythe but with a titanium blade and reinforced wood staff. It wasn't like he couldn't afford it with the now millions he was making on the underworld.
Which brought him to his current predicament. He had recently sold a newer batch of his toxin to a group called the Yakuza. Apparently people don't like it when they buy a toxin that makes people hallucinate and they end up screaming to death. So they demanded an audience with the Scarecrow. So a few hired guns and 1 armoured van later, Izuku found himself in a parking complex at night with nobody there but him and the Yakuza. Or they thought.
"Care to explain this!" A thug said tossing the still squirming body of a fellow member who was bound and gagged.
Izuku just smirked as he was hidden in the van where he couldn't be seen. These people really had no idea what they who they were messing with.
"You gonna answer or stay quiet!" Another one yelled.
Izuku decided to play this scene up for his dramatic reveal. Plus why not spook them a little bit.
"I said my compound would take you places." Izuku said as he walked out of the van holding his scythe in his outfit with his voice distorted.
His appearance made a few of the Yakuza thugs step back.
"I never said they'd be places you wanted to go." Izuku said in a coy manner.
"Even still you killed three of our men and put this one here in this state!" The first Yakuza said pointing at the squirming body.
"That sounds more like a you problem doesn't it." Izuku said not the least bit intimidated.
"It's about to be your problem!" One of the thugs said and was met by the sound of cocking guns pointed at him from Izuku's men.
"You know if your gonna threaten someone at least make sure the guns aren't pointed at you." Izuku said chuckling as he watched the Yakuza step back.
"So why even if you kill us we have an army!" One said.
"And I have 4 semi automatic guns and a pistol trained on you." Izuku said grabbing his gun and pointing at them.
"But now what would the fun be in simply killing you." Izuku said before putting a bullet in the skull of the Yakuza who was tied up.
"BASTARD!" One of them screamed.
"Says the man scared to death." Izuku joked before returning the gun and grabbing a few of his gas pellets.
"If you want a fight then bring it!" Another Yakuza said activating his quirk turning to a stone golem.
"No I don't want to fight." Izuku said before signalling for his men to lower their guns. "I WANT TO HEAR YOU SCREAM!"
As Izuku yelled this he threw the gas pellets in his hand at the group of Yakuza covering them in his gas.
"FOOL! Why do you think we wore gas mask's!" One yelled before he started hacking.
"Because you haven't experienced compound Z46-SK5 yet." Izuku said before the sounds of the Yakuza men screaming echoed through the area. "Penetrates gas masks and works 50 percent better than all of my other compounds."
As Izuku stood there he just listened to their screams. Truly they were music to his ears. Heading others about in fear as he once had was quite... exhilarating for him. It truly was music to his ears. But even music tends to get too loud at points and Izuku knew he would have to cut this short.
"Kill them and raid their truck." Izuku commanded his men as two of them went to the vehicle the Yakuza come in and the other two shot them in the heads.
However just as Izuku turned to get back in his van one of his men called to him.
"Boss! You might want to see this!" He called as he opened the back of their vehicle.
"This better be worth it." Izuku said as he walked to the vehicle, cutting a few throats on the way.
After witnessing people commit suicide a bunch of times death really didn't frighten him as much as he thought it would. In fact he enjoyed killing. But not to excess, no he preferred to see the terror in their eyes when they realized their fate.
"So what is it that I need to see -" Izuku started but went quite at what he saw. "Well now."
In the back of the Yakuza's truck there was a girl. About 6 years if Izuku had to guess, and unconscious. But what he saw on her unnerved him. Bandages, and he means bandages all over her arms and legs. Yes he was a villain who shipped out crates full of a toxin that resulted in 19% of all suicides in Japan but never to a child. Much less a young one like this. Still what to do with her what to do. He had already killed the Yakuza thugs who met with him, probably sparking a war. So what harm would taking the girl do.
"Your orders sir?" His man asked as Izuku contemplated.
"Bring her with us!" Izuku said before storming back to the van.
"Yes Sir!" He replied before grabbing the girl and carrying the girl with him back to the van.
That's what Izuku liked about these hired guns. They didn't speak unless spoken to , and only asked the necessary questions. And did what they were told!
"Alright load up!" Izuku yelled to the other men as he hopped into the back of the van.
That was until he heard a muffled cry and noticed one of his men gone.
"So the infamous Scarecrow decides to show himself." A man said in the darkness.
Izuku silently cursed at this. He already knew who it was , he had been tracking him for the last month. And Izuku picked this day to be sloppy.
"Erasure Head." Izuku said stepping down from the van as his other two men who weren't holding the girl trained their guns on him.
"Don't forget about me!" A female voice called as suddenly a pink gas covered the area and the rest of Izuku's thugs dropped unconscious .
'Damn it! It had to be Midnight!' Izuku cursed as both figures stepped out of the shadows.
"Strange. norma!y people drop when I use my quirk?" Midnight said surprised Izuku was still standing.
"A gas mask." Erasure Head said in a deadpan voice.
'Slag! I can't take them both on and I don't have any gas pellets left. And based on Erasure Heads record what little I could find of him he's going to prove difficult!' Izuku thought in his head before glancing back at the girl.
Strange as it was he felt an obligation to her, and they hadn't even spoken or really seen each other yet. No matter, that would all be pointless if he was caught and imprisoned. Well that plan might work but it would be a long shot. Now for hopefully the best acting job of his life.
"So taking on the proverbial, self proclaimed master of fear doesn't frighten you?" Izuku asked in a more soft tone of voice, which was only made creepier by the voice modifier.
"Not really. I'm more surprised that the big bad Scarecrow is a kid." Erasure head said activating his quirk.
'Wait till he gets a kick out of this!' Izuku thought internally chuckling that Erasure Head was erasing a quirkless persons quirk.
"Ever heard of dont judge a book by its cover." Izuku said before tugging his hood further over his mask.
"Every day." Erasure Head said getting in a battle stance followed by Midnight doing the same.
'Now for the long shot.' Izuku thought quickly calculating what he would need to do in order for this plan to work.
'Lets see I'm out of gas pellets so their out of the question. I do have the hidden gas sprayers, but they were for close quarters and I doubt I could last in a fight like that against them. I do have my gun but they could easily dodge. But there are the gas canisters in the back of the van. And since their pressuriszed-' Izuku was cut off by Erasure Head running towards him.
"You know a little working would be nice Shouta!" Midnight said before running as well.
'Screw it!' Izuku mentally proclaimed as if luck was on his side he evaded Erasure Heads attack.
When he evaded he took the chance to swipe with his a scythe at him but instead felt something pull it fro m his hands seeing Midnight's whip pulling towards her midair.
"Surprise hun!" Midnight said snatching the scythe and winding her whip.
"Now are you gonna give up or do this the hard way.
'Which way do you think num skull!' Izuku thought as he tensed to grab his gun.
"Staying awfully quite over there." Midnight said as she walked next to Erasure Head holding the scythe.
"Why should I talk in the middle of quality entertainment? " Izuku laughed before pulling his gun and sending a bullet past the two hero's into his van.
"Your quite the shot!" Midnight joked missing Erasure Head going wide eyed from the hissing sound.
"SHIT!" he cursed as he grabbed Midnight and pushed her out of the way taking the full blast of the Explosion.
"Did I mention compound Z46-SK5 was also flammable!" Izuku joked as he picked up his scythe that was thrown towards him in the blast.
"YOU BASTARD!" Midnight screamed as she started to charge at him but stopped.
"You know you might save him if you get to a hospital quickly." Izuku said picking up the still unconscious body of the girl.
"DAMN YOU!" Midnight yelled before turning to help free Erasure Head from the rubble and fire.
When she looked back the Scarecrow was gone, no sign that he had been there except for a little doll that looked like a cute scarecrow. His calling card. After that ordeal Erasure Head suffered severe 2 degree burns and was put on ice for three months to heal. Much of the Hero society was shook after that when rumors that the Scarecrow nearly killed Erasure Head started circulating. The thugs that were captured knew nothing and were just simple paid goons. All evidence burned in the explosion, and the girl Scarecrow took was never seen again.
Meanwhile Izuku was laying low. His activity was at Zero. No shipments, no deals, nothing but him, his lab,and his daughter.
Wait DAUGHTER!
AN- I'm laughing right now because of the idea i have for this fic. So I'm doing this. I'm attempting to write fics where villain deku gets every 1-A girl. Mina and Ochako have theirs but who gets this one? Heres a hint look up the Batman the Brave and the Bold episode Scarecrow debuted in. You'll know. Anyway happy reading!
P.S. I'm kinda going for a Batman Arkham Asylum look for Izuku's villain outfit with the face looking like the cover art. Just clarifying because I know I suck at describing.
