A FEW MONTHS LATER
Izuku was currently asleep in his apartment on his bed. He had stayed up all night working in his lab he immediately crashed out when he hit his bed. He didn't care how long he slept as long as he got a few hours. Or he was hoping until he woke up to the sound of freaking boards in his room.
"You know if you want to scare me, please do it quietly." I, you taunted knowing who was there without opening his eyes.
"No fair! " the girl whined hopping into Izuku's bed.
Yep, this was his daughter. The master of fear who was well known now as a villain, had the single handedly most adorable daughter who added another 1% to his suicide rates. She was the girl he had taken in his first and currently only outing as a villain. Her name was Eri. Apparently the Yakuza were using her for something, but what she didn't know. And honestly Izuku didn't care or want to know. It had taken precisely one million USD, three free shipments of his toxin, and a promise to not kill any more Yakuza unnecessarily to the boss Overhaul to keep the girl, and for him to not be under the "Kill on Sight" list they had.
Best decision he ever made in his opinion. He actually found it relaxing in a way. Plus she didn't cry, an unexpected bonus. The worst she did was ask to sleep with him at night due to nightmares. But there was much worse a child her age could do. It did take her about 3, seems to accept I,you and the fact that she wasn't going back to the Yakuza. And she was happy about it. Here she actually felt genuine love and care. Plus he gave her a cool costume like he has, because why not!
It didn't really surprise her that She was living with another super villain. I'm her opinion he was WAY better than Overhual. He didn't hurt her, fear her apart and put her back together, or harvest her blood for stuff. No Izuku actually acted like a father to her. Plus he gave her cool stuff.
She also got her own room. Which was pretty bare baring the bed, clothes, and the few toys she got. He sometimes even let her help him in the lab. Granted it was usually watching and handing him empty beakers or tools because who trusts a six year old with dangerous chemicals. Not a bright move, and one Izuku wasn't going to make.
"What time is it?" Izuku groaned as he sat up opening his eyes.
"1:30!" Sri said sitting on Izuku's bed.
"Am or Pm?" Izuku asked still tired.
"Pm. You slept for 13 hours." Eri said as she nudged closer to Izuku.
"That long." Izuku complained as he slid out of bed. "What do you want for lunch then?"
"Nothing. I already ate." Eri said hopping down for Izuku's bed following him to their makeshift kitchen.
"Ok then. I guess all these apples are gonna go bad then!" Izuku joked as Eri started squirming to get over him .
"No fair daddy." Eri said trying to reach past him.
"Ok here you go." Izuku surrendered giving Eri two apples.
"Thanks!" Eri said before she started eating.
Yep. This was pretty much normal for the two. Eri acts adorable, and Izuku taunts her. Like right now as he watched Eri devour the apples getting pieces of the skin around her mouth.
"You know sometimes I wonder if I rescued a vacuum cleaner with as much you eat." Izuku joked which was followed by a protest from Eri saying this was coming from the man who eats three bowls of katsudon for dinner every other night.
"Ok you got me." Izuku said as Eri was putting her cheeks staring at him.
"So anyway what's on the schedule that I haven't missed?" Izuku asked chugging a cup of coffee.
"So now you want to know." Eri said as she pulled out a folder.
"Yes my greatest assistant and daughter who scares me when she gets angry." Izuku joked as Eri chuckled.
"Ok. Well first thing at 3 you have a new shipment of supplies being delivered for the lab," Eri said as Izuku nodded. "Then at 5 there's the usual pay off of a shipment with a hired goon," Izuku sighed at that. "And then at 6 30 you have a meeting with the League of Villains."
Oh right. He forgot about that. Apparently this league wanted his assistance in something, what he didn't know. All he really cared about was that they were paying him a lot of money. And it was money he really could use.
"Alright you know what to do right?" Izuku asked making sure Eri knew what she was supposed to do during the day.
"Don't mess with the lab, stay clear of you clients, and make sure I have my costume on." Eri said as Izuku ruffled her hair.
"Yep. Now go play in your room while I get to work." Izuku said as Eri gave him a quick hug and ran off.
"God bless that girl." Izuku said as he started walking into his lab.
Ever since the night he got Eri he had upgraded his lab substantially. Food one thing it now had reinforced walls, a metal code locked door, and a sprinkler system. And thus he was now pretty much broke. Sure he had enough supplies to get back the money. That would be if the Trigger drug hadnt imposed on his turf. And if the bloody hero's weren't watching for any sign of him. All safe to say his business was pretty slim.
That was until he had gotten a message from a group called the League of Villains. They only have him a meeting place and a promise that if he agreed to do something for him, well one million dollars would make anyone agree. Then there was Erasure Head however. Turns out giving someone 2 degree burns and capitalizing them for three months losses them off.
As Izuku walked into his lab he input his security code to open the door. They. He put on his lab clothes. Which was basically slipping of his jacket if he had one and putting on the lab coat his first assistant wore. Sure he made some aesthetic changes to it like asked a series of large exaggerated stitch patterns to go with his theme as a villain. Then he also added an insulating layer to it for when he was working with a lot of heat of cold.
"Lets see here. Compound BX3-861, GY2-978," Izuku muttered to himself as he traced his finger over the various vials of his compounds in his containment unit.
Every vial was one of his previous compounds. Some were versions of his Fear ToxinToxin, others were steroids he had tried to make, and a few were even actual poisons. But one of them in particular was the one he was looking for.
"Here we go!" Izuku said cheerfully grabbing the vial and the notebook dedicated to it specifically. "Compound QKS-693 !"
Taking the two items he walked over to his lab table and put the vial in his chemical mixer. Opening the notebook he turned to page 50. Each page before that were detailed steps to creating the compound and the chemical formula for every component of the compound. And it just so happens that Izuku isn't even halfway done with this yet. Fortunately for him the tools that made Trigger left samples of it everywhere, making it easy for Izuku to acquire its formula for his own uses.
"Alright so when the compound is injected it heads towards the brain. There it stimulates the optical and central nervous systems. However when it comes into contact with a pheromone the brain secretes it breaks down. Creating a shield for it is difficult. But if we're to-" Izuku got lost in his constant rambling he lost track of time as he switched between writing in the notebook and grabbing various other chemicals and items to add to his compound.
her didn't stop until he heard a knock on his lab door.
"YES ERI?" Izuku called loud enough to be heard across the door.
"IT'S 5 30!" Eri called back before walking away.
"That late already huh. Hopefully he came through Thor me on the delivery and pay off as usual." Izuku said surprised he lost 4 hours of his life in what felt like a few minutes.
As Izuku finished writing in his notebook he closed it. Then he took the vial out of the mixer and put both it and the notebook back into his containment unit. Then he took off his lab coat and hung it back onto his coat rack. Exiting his lab he made sure that the door was sealed before going to his room. Once there he donned his Scarecrow outfit and scythe. Never can be to careful especially with other villains.
Walking out of his room he was Eri had already put on her outfit. It was nothing really just a pair of orange footie pajamas with a large burlap mask with button eyes and a stitched on smile. Also as an added bonus all of Erie hair could fit in the mask and strangely she stayed cool. Izuku was still looking into that.
"Ok Eri remember don't draw attention." Izuku said as Eri nodded.
Now why doesn't just leave her at the base. Because A- He doesn't trust the Yakuza to stay away when he's gone. B- On the off chance a hero like Erasure Head gets lucky and finds the base he doesn't want her their for it. And C- She didn't liken it when they were far apart. So that's how they both ended up in an old looking well kept bar for the meeting.
"I must say it's a pleasure to have the great Scarecrow in our little hideout." The leader of the league Tomura Shigaraki said sitting on a barstool facing Izuku and Eri in their outfits.
"Get to the point!" Izuku said wanting to know why they wanted him.
"All in due time. Care for a drink?" Shigaraki asked as the other member, a man named Kurogiri who was made out of most in a bartender suit was behind the bar cleaning glasses.
"I make it a habit to not drink anything I don't open or prepare." Izuku said knowing full well how easy it is to poison people.
"Come on its not like we would invite you here just to poison you." Shigaraki said defensively.
"Just tell me why you wanted to meet me!" Izuku said as he felt Eri grab his leg.
"Your no fun ," Shigaraki said before sliding a file over to Izuku.
As Izuku picked it up to read it he found it was a schedule for a training exercise at US led by AllMight, Thirteen, and ... Erasure Head.
"Doesn't answer my question!" Izuku said annoyed.
"Don't you get it," Shigaraki said gleefully. "We know that All Might is going to be teaching a group of wannabe Heros away from the main campus! Making it the perfect opportunity to kill him!"
Now that surprised Izuku. Killing All Might, the number one hero. It was literally one of those tasks that was easier said than done. But on the other hand of they could do it it would send society into chaos.
"And how do you intend to kill him?" Izuku asked returning the folder.
As soon as he said that a massive beast entered the room. It easily matched All Might in terms of height and buffness. Even Izuku had to agree that the brain on its head was rather grotesque. But if this thing could kill All Might thenthen, well he wanted to be there when it happened.
"You like Nomu?" 'Shigaraki asked as Izuku nodded.
"It's a rather interesting individual." Izuku said as the thing just stood there not moving.
"It's completely quiet and obedient!" Shigaraki said scratching at his neck.
"So why do you need me?" Izuku asked wondering why they needed him if they had this thing.
"Well we don't exactly expect the kids and other two pro hero's to let All Might die so we have amazed a small army to stop them." Shigaraki explained.
"And you want me to join?" Izuku said putting the pieces together.
"More of less." Shigaraki said.
Izuku put some thought into his answer. But he already knew what he was going to say.
"I will partake in this event of yours," Izuku started as Shigaraki smiled. "But I won't join your group."
"Why the he'll not! " Shigaraki yelled.
"I prefer to work alone or with only one other person who stays quiet." Izuku said.
Shigaraki was furious. So furious in fact he disintegrated the glass he was drinking out of. He might have been done the same to Scarecrow had Kurogiri not calmed him.
"Fine! Do what you want. We attack in one week!" Shigaraki yelled before leaving the room.
And that was Izuku's first meeting with the League of Villains. Needless to say it went ok, or as ok as one can get when meeting with a man who wants to kill All Might. And so that's how Izuku found himself standing in front of a vortex of Purple mist that he had been told was a warping quirk that belonged to Kurogiri.
Izuku smiled as he made sure he had everything. Holding his scythe he walked through the portal and into the area that held an unexpected surprise for him.
AN-So I hope everyone enjoys. Next chapter is the USJ nothing new. Also what did y'all think of Izuku's and Erie interactions. Also Eri's costume is Sam's from Trick R Treat. Anyway please review and happy reading.
P.S. School just started for me so ya. The usual hating school mood for me is back.
