Home. Midoriya had almost completely forgotten what it looked like. The fact that he was now allowed to go home to his mother, filled him with the utmost happiness. He was able to see his mother again. His sweet, innocent mother who had no idea what he was becoming. But he was sure that she would be happy to see him alive anyway.
"The reason I am allowing this, is because you will need to go back to school and keep up your academics" All for One said, pulling Midoriya out of his stupor. "You are being given your first mission now; to infiltrate Yuuei and help us destroy all of the future generation of heroes. And you can't do that if you are unable to even get in."
This excited Midoriya. His first mission as a villain in training. This had to be the greatest day of his life. Not only did he start the day learning a great new trick with a knife in his training with Kurogiri which might be very useful for him later down the line. But he had also gained a new quirk, been given permission to go home and been given his first mission by All for One.
"Now, in order for this to work I have set a few conditions for you to follow" All for One continued. "First, you must continue to come to training. The days I have set will be in a schedule I have given to Kurogiri. Second, you must keep a high grade in school otherwise you will not be able to take the Yuuei entrance exam. And finally, you must never tell anybody about us, not your friends, your family or even a pet. Do you understand?"
Midoriya nodded. This was a lot to take in. Luckily, he was very good at processing information and storing it away for later use. All for One waited a few more minutes before continuing farther. "I want you to go straight to the police station when you are dismissed, Midoriya. No doubt this boy you bumped into has told them about you, and what you told him. Speaking of that, I want you to continue with the story you told that boy and tell it to the police as well. I have arranged for two lowlife street thugs to take the fall for your kidnapping. After that you will return home where I have left a package for you containing your schedule and everything else that you will need. Now, Yuuei's entrance exams are in just over nine months. Do not disappoint me, Midoriya."
"I'll do everything in my power to get the job done, sir" Midoriya replied. This was it. He was finally needed. It was now his chance to prove himself to All for One an the League of Villains. His chance to show that he was worth something in the ranks of this group. But it was a big ask, and Midoriya was aware of that, but he could do it. He had to. Everything he had been doing for the last few weeks was to prepare him for his first mission.
"That's the spirit, Midoriya. Now, unless you have any questions, you are dismissed" All for One told him. Midoriya shook his head, letting All for One know that he did not have any questions at the moment. All for One acknowledged this by motioning to Kurogiri for him to open a portal to the bar.
"Come now, Midoriya" Kurogiri said from behind the boy. Midoriya gave a quick bow to All for One in farewell and ran over to Kurogiri and through the portal back to the bar.
Upon reaching the bar, Midoriya immediately started laughing. Kurogiri just stood there, watching him, until he finished. "What's so funny, Midoriya?" he asked.
Midoriya looked up at him. "I just can't imagine how much better this day could get for me. It's hilarious just how good it's been" he replied.
"Well, it's not finished yet, you still have worked to do" Kurogiri told him. "You need to go to the police station now and stick to the story you told that boy a few days ago. Then you go home and open the package that has been left for you. I will see you soon, Midoriya."
Midoriya nodded and ran out the bar, through the alleyway and onto the street. He couldn't remember where the police station was, so he had to ask for directions. He looked around and saw a girl a few meters away from him. He walked up to her and put on a smile. "Hi" he said, making his presence known. "I was wondering if you could tell me where the police station is?"
The girl looked up at him, and smiled back. She was really good looking. Midoriya had to fight the blush that was coming to his face. He had made a mistake coming to talk to this girl. Midoriya didn't have much experience talking to other girls. They always made him feel really flustered. But he forced himself to stay composed and wait for the girl to answer his question.
"Oh. It's about three blocks from her" the girl replied. "If you go to the end of the street and turn right, then head straight down there and turn left, you should see the police station from there."
"Thanks a lot" Midoriya replied. He turned and went to start running but tripped over his feet. He closed his eyes, waiting for the impact to happen, but it never came. He opened his eyes to see that he was a few inches off the ground. He yelled out and scrambled to just stand up, but it just made things worse because he started floating in the air.
He then felt a hand on his shoulder, pulling him up until he was standing upright again. He looked to his right and saw it was the girl who had her hand on his shoulder. "Sorry" she said. "I didn't think you would mind me saving you."
"Oh no. It was no problem. Thank you" Midoriya replied hurriedly. "But I really got to go now. Bye."
And with that, he was off to the police station again. He reached the end of the street and turned right, then down to the end of that street and turned left. There he saw the police station and made a beeline for it, having already wasted enough time today.
Upon reaching the police station, he burst through the doors and ran up to the desk, panting for breath. The attendant at the desk stood there waiting for him to regain himself and start talking. After about five minutes of puffing and panting, being as unfit as he is, Midoriya was finally able to talk to the attendant.
"My name is Izuku Midoriya" he said. "I was kidnapped a little under a month ago, and I manged to escape. I need to speak to someone who can help me."
The attendant nodded and made his way to the back of the station. He came back a moment later with a detective of some sort. He wore a suit and tie as opposed to the standard uniform that all the other cops wear. "Izuku Midoriya" the detetive said. "My name is Naomasa Tsukauchi. If you would like to come with me we can go somewhere private to talk."
(Sorry but I'm not going to add in the interview. It's basically just going to go the same as the talk between Midoriya and Todoroki. If anyone would like me to add the interview in, let me know and I can add it in at a later date)
After the interview wrapped up, Midoriya was escorted to a car by Detective Tsukauchi so that the man could take him back to his house. Midoriya had requested that he be taken home so that his mother didn't have to come and pick him up, and also because he thought it would be a nice surprise for her to see him in person rather than get a phone call from the police.
When they reached his house, Midoriya thanked the detective for the lift and got out the car, before walking up the path to the front door. He opened it, silently thankful that it was unlocked, and entered the house. As he shut the door, he heard a clatter coming from the kitchen, followed by a "Who's there?". After he didn't reply to the voice, he could hear footsteps coming out to the hallway.
Out of the kitchen came a short, plump woman with dark green hair, similar to Midoriya's. She was holding a knife out in front of her, but her uncontrollable shaking meant that it wouldn't be very effective had he decided to attack her. It took her only a second to recognize who was in her hallway though, and the knife was tossed aside.
In a few strides, Inko Midoriya had reached her son, and pulled him into a hug. "Izuku" she said, beginning to cry heavily onto his shoulder. "I can't believe you're safe"
Midoriya returned her gesture by wrapping his arms around her as well. "Neither can I mom" he replied. "But you don't have to worry anymore. Because I'm home."
And that's Chapter 8 finished. If I'm correct, I believe that this is the longest chapter in the story so far. I decided to bring in another character from the show for Midoriya to interact with. (Three guesses as to who it was). I'm not planning to give him a relationship in this story though, but I'm currently undecided.
Next time - Back to school
Be back soon.
