Midoriya's eyes widened. This boy, knew who he was. He began to panic, prepared to turn and run away but found out that he couldn't move. He noticed that his feet were now extremely cold so he looked down and saw that they had been frozen in place. An icy trail led all the way to the boys right foot.
"Don't bother trying to run" the boy told him, voice just as cold as the ice that came from him. "You won't get anywhere, and besides, I just want to talk to you."
Midoriya began to calm down from his frantic state after hearing that last part. He just wanted to talk, that's fine. Maybe he could convince the boy to set him free so that he could escape, or even take the other guy down. Realizing the latter most certainly wouldn't work, Midoriya remembered the timer, still ticking down in his hoodie pocket.
"Okay, but can you please free my feet?" Midoriya asked the boy. "I promise you that I won't run."
The other boy stood silent for a moment, before the hiss of melting ice as Midoriya noticed something else; the boy had a ice and fire quirk. The perfect combination for an attacking quirk. Remembering his Hero Analysis books, Midoriya's mind began trying to figure out which hero had a fire quirk. Endeavor, the number two hero in the entire world. Had he ran into this boy a few weeks ago, Midoriya might of started going full fanboy on the fact that this guy was Endeavor's son. But that was an old Midoriya, that wasn't who he was now. He was a villain in training, with no time to be a hero fanboy.
When he was released, he sat back down on the bench and the boy sat down next to him. Midoriya decided that it would be best if they properly introduced himself to one another. "Okay, we seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot, so let me introduce myself properly" Midoriya said, trying his best to put on a believable smile. He was quite annoyed that his feet had been frozen in place and the fact that this boy would never let him get away. "My name is Izuku Midoriya, although you already knew that, I'm the kid that has been missing for the last three weeks. Now it's your turn."
The boy remained quiet for a moment, before sighing. "Shoto Todoroki" he finally said.
"Okay, nice to meet you Todoroki" Midoriya said, smiling again. He noticed that his mouth was beginning to hurt from smiling so much. "So what do you need to talk to me about?"
"I want to know what happened to you" Todoroki replied. "Posters about your disappearance have been all over the city. All Might has been leading the search party for you."
Of course, Midoriya knew that All Might was looking for him to make sure that his secret was safe. His secret! Midoriya made a mental note to tell Kurogiri when he got back. And then Shigaraki in the morning. But first, he had to get back to the bar, so he had to continue stalling Todoroki until the timer ran out and Kurogiri would come and save him. "I was kidnapped. Taken to a strange, unknown place and kept there for weeks. But I managed to escape and now I'm hiding in the park until they stop looking for me and I can go home" he said.
"Well, why don't you go to the police. Or find a hero that can protect you?" Todoroki asked him.
"Because I don't want anyone else getting involved in my problems" Midoriya replied.
As Todoroki opened his mouth to ask another question, a small beeping sound could be heard from Midoriya's pocket, and Todoroki saw the other boy smile widely. Wait. That wasn't a smile, it was a grin. A rather sinister looking one at that. Maybe it was his eyes playing tricks on him. But he didn't have time to do anything else, because a second later, a bright light flashed in his eyes and he heard Midoriya calling out to someone named "Kurogiri".
When his vision cleared, Midoriya was gone. Todoroki looked around for him, but there was not a single trace of the other boy anywhere. Giving up, he continued to walk around the park, hoping to see Midoriya again one day, safe and sound.
Well that's another chapter done. This one is a bit shorter but it's still long enough. I'm actually quite glad that I have the time to sit and write out these chapters. I have to thank everybody who is taking the time out of their day to read the chapters that I post. I also would like any criticism you might have of my writing. This is my first story, so I can only get better, right?
Anyway, that's enough of my rambling.
Next time: All for One
Be back soon.
