Chapter 5: Kuroga
Izuku awoke with a throbbing headache.
Wherever he was, it was dark and cool, so possibly subterranean. His Quirk wasn't working and he would bet his missing sword that it was because of the cold piece of metal clasped around his neck.
Izuku scanned the room, his bleary vision clearing up as he looked around. It became evident that he was in some kind of bunker prison, if the concrete walls and worn iron bars were any indication.
"Oh good," A deep, female voice sounded out, echoing across the chamber, "You have awoken. Most excellent."
Izuku turned to the source to see a dark, mist covered woman with golden glowing eyes. "You're the portal lady, right?"
"Correct, I am Kuroga." She said professionally, "And I know that you are Midoriya Izuku."
"Oh, good. A villainess knows my name. I suppose it was a matter of time, really, but isn't it a little early for me to have enemies?" Izuku quipped. The woman looked on, impassively.
"My mistress is very curious about you." She stated plainly, "A male as strong as yourself is unheard of."
"Oh, trust me." Izuku snarked, "I'm plenty aware of just how unique I am."
"Heh. I wish I could say your wit was refreshing, but I know it won't last long." The living shadow woman said.
"Ooh, scary. Are you gonna hold a flashlight under your chin and say boo?" He snarked again before he and his chair fell through a portal and he looked in his new surroundings.
The only other soul in his new environment was a very attractive woman. She was six foot, two inches with G cup breasts and toned arms and legs. Her stomach was nicely toned as well, not to mention her wide, attractive hips. She had a scar going down the side of her face and deep purple lipstick that matched her hair, which was purple with lighter purple highlights.
"Hello, handsome. You may call me All For One, or mistress if you would prefer."
"How about…" Izuku mulled it over for a moment, "Bitch?"
The woman known as All for One felt an impulsive twitch at this man's sheer audacity but quickly tamped down on her annoyance. "Allow me to rephrase, ape."
"Oh, there's no need to rephrase, lady." Izuku interrupted, "You're either gonna kill me, or turn me into breeding stock. C'mon, tell me I'm wrong."
"Or I could turn you into that mindless creature I sent with my student." The woman threatened. Izuku merely quirked an eyebrow at that.
"Alright, you've made your threat, now what?" He asked, cutting out the monologue he knew she had prepared.
"Now, you have a little choice to make. Be a good boy and do as I say, or I'll simply take your Quirk and give it to someone who is more...pliable. then, you will be breeding stock, a simple fuck toy for all of my subordinates to use, when I aren't having my own fun, that is."
"...Take my Quirk? You're lucky you're cute, lady, because there is no way in hell you aren't batshit crazy." Izuku said as the woman stalked closer and closer to him.
"Ooh, this is going to be interesting." She said as she grabbed the back of his hair and crushed her lips against his, stealing his Quirk before he bit down on her lip.
"Mmm, how sweet of you." She said sensually, licking her own blood up as she reveled in the small amount of pain. It helped that she was a masochist and a sadist, so she was happy no matter what happened here.
She began to activate the new Quirk, only to frown when she could hardly lift a pencil. "Hm. That's interesting. You weren't born with a strong quirk, were you handsome?"
"Aw, what gave it away?" Izuku taunted. The woman simply placed her hand on his head once more, putting the quirk back into its rightful place. "So, I believe you, you can give and take quirks, what's next? A mad scientist?"
"Hehe, funny you should mention that. No, for now, I'm giving you back this Quirk and we are going to work on breaking you down. You've complicated things, but not made them impossible. Kuroga, I want you to take him to a cozy cell, strip him down and wash him off. Don't worry, Izuku. I'll have a live feed from your cell at all times, and if you obey enough you might earn your clothes back." The villainess said moments before another portal opened beneath him.
He looked around his new cell. He had a soft bed, padded walls that were humming with the Quirk dampening machine that most jail cells were outfitted with, and a toilet in the corner. In the doorway was the living shadow woman who stood with her arms politely at her sides.
"Please remove your clothes." She said simply after untying him. She had a physical form, it seemed, but it was held behind her smoky Quirk.
"You first." Izuku snarked. He wasn't going to comply if he could help it.
"No, not yet at least, but maybe after you're broken. Don't bother with your Quirk when I take off the collar, this room gives off an aura that is sure to dampen you Quirk specifically." She said as she took off all his clothes, even the collar. His Quirk was only as strong as it had been when he first got it, dampened by the equipment in the rooms, but he was broken out of his musings when he felt cold water spill onto his shoulder as the butler began to clean him with a sponge, blushing heavily under the shadows.
"You know, you could at least buy me dinner before touching me like this." Izuku teased despite his situation. If he could keep her off balance, he was at an advantage.
He had a plan forming in his head, but it would only work if the shadowy girl wasn't paying attention and was distracted. She seemed to have at least a little attraction to him, and that's all he would need.
After she had cleaned his torso and legs with a sponge, she seemed to be opposed to going further. "Awe, is a certain kidnapper shy?" Izuku teased, noticing that she was purposefully not looking at him.
"I am taking my leave now. I have been instructed to reapply the collar and shut off the anti-Quirk machine in the walls. Prolonged exposure to the machine can harm long term Quirk usage, and my mistress doesn't want anything bad to happen to your ability to serve her in the future." Kuroga said, putting the collar around his neck when he winked and moved his tongue in a suggestive way. Kuroga was blushing too hard to realize he was using his incredibly weakened Quirk to keep it from latching, and thus keeping the collar from activating.
UA was in a panic.
After Izuku's kidnapping, the entire school went on lockdown and made the appropriate calls to the various families of its students and teachers.
Secondly, the entire support department, their teacher included, threw themselves into finding their missing object of affection. By this point, they had practically formed a cult around the man. And who could blame them? He promised virtually unlimited resources as long as they continued to make him happy with their inventions. The most alarming part was their satellite. They were making a satellite that could scan for his DNA throughout the whole planet. The alarming part was how much of his DNA they had. Katsumi was just thankful it was blood and hair, not semen.
Speaking of his girlfriend, Katsumi was pissed. She was more violent, snapping at anyone and everyone aside from Kyoka, even Momo when she brought them food.
As for Kyoka, she didn't really know how to react. She was obviously upset, but she couldn't decide if she was angry, sad, or just… numb. She had been sleeping with Katsumi in Izuku's bed, wearing his clothes and cuddling with each other.
They both eagerly waited for news, stewing in bitterness about how useless they felt. Why couldn't they save their boyfriend? Why couldn't they help figure out where he was? These questions tormented the two girls.
Izuku had a plan.
Well, not so much a plan as a list of goals. He had full access to his Quirk, but knew he couldn't really use it without his jailer, Kuroga, simply turning on the dampeners, then for all he knew the hot scary lady, All For One, would take his Quirk until he was under her control.
He couldn't risk that, he had to disable Kuroga somehow.
The issue was he was actually starting to like Kuroga. She would come in and sigh, sit down and it wasn't hard to get her to vent about her woes with the childish woman she was in charge of. Maybe if she wasn't loyal to a crazy villainess, and not a shadow woman, he would even be interested in her romantically. She was always polite and thoughtful enough to bring him extra food, even though apparently she was supposed to be starving him a little bit.
Izuku loathed that he had to do this, and knew it would be incredibly painful, but also knew that he didn't have a choice. He would have to tap into his telepathy to disable her mind.
He found out that he had telepathy at a fairly late age to the point that he was already strong in telekinesis. The issue is that when he first turned it on, he got a headache for a week. His range with his power was planetary, so when he opened his mind to others, he heard the thoughts of everyone on Earth and in Earth's orbit screaming into his brain.
He would only flicker it. He would wait until she came in and simply disable her consciousness for a moment before shutting off the telepathy and making his escape.
The metal door clanked open and his jailer walked in holding a pizza box. Man, she wasn't making this easy.
"Hello Izuku, are you having a pleasant day?" She asked, opening the box of pizza and offering him a slice.
"Still locked in here, but at least the company is good. Is Handy-J still being a bitch to you?" Izuku said, knowing that he would feel like an absolute asshole for a long time after he did what he had to do. With a mental sigh, he opened his mind to the thoughts of others.
"If I'm lucky, my internal organs will never see the light of day"
"Shit! The bank is going to close!"
"When you're sick, the advice you get is to literally do drugs and stay out of school."
"We use tables to keep food off the floor, tablecloths to keep food off the table, placemats to keep food off the tablecloth, and plates to keep food off the placemats."
"Am I even ready to be a mother? What if me and Kiara are rushing this?"
"I have seen more of the surface of the Moon with my own eyes than I have of Earth."
"There is one day every year, where we unknowingly pass the anniversary of the day the dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid."
"Boss said we're making budget cuts, wonder what's getting the axe."
"I bet attractive people think the world is a lot more polite than it really is."
Izuku grunted as he refocused and zeroed in on Kuroga's brain, but it was… wrong. The parts of her mind that controlled memories were completely locked down, and her free will wasn't far behind. Meanwhile, her loyalty was tied up and held captive, all by unnatural means.
'I could turn you into that mindless creature I sent with my student.' the words of her boss echoed in his mind. Was Kuroga being controlled? Izuku winced as he lost focus and his brain was filled with billions of voices before he regained control.
"Izuku, are you unwell?" Kuroga asked, placing a very human hand on his forehead.
"Y-Yes Kuroga, please, just sit with me for a moment, it will pass." He gasped. He needed more time to assess her mind and hopefully set her free. He didn't know how it would go from there, but he would set her free.
He tested the bindings on her brain, only to realize how much give they had. Whoever's handiwork this was, it was frighteningly amateurish. Or, perhaps, he was simply much stronger. For his powerful mind, none of that mattered, it was more important he did this as gently as possible to avoid hurting her as well. It was like he was trying to break a spiderweb without disturbing the water just beneath it.
"I-Izuku? What's -ugh! What's happening to me?" She asked, experiencing what was essentially the mother of all headaches while he set her free, enduring the onslaught of voices and keeping his focus to avoid shredding her mind like tissue paper.
He knew when he had finished off the last of her loyalty brainwashing when her eyes widened. He had brushed against a part of her brain and left an impression, but his headache was too harsh for him to identify the part he hit. It would probably be fine.
"Izuku? Please come here, I will be taking you back to UA now, my love." Kuroga said, her voice urgent.
'Oh, great, she's back to norma- wait, did she just say 'my love'?' Izuku thought with wide eyes, only to be swallowed by the familiar darkness of the woman's portals.
