Villain Deku, the story of a fallen hero

Chapter 2 - Time To Say Goodbye

Izuku started making his way back home. He didn't exactly feel like staying after his idol had shattered his dreams. He was hoping not to get distracted and get home without any detours, that is until he heard an explosion. He turned his head towards the direction the sound came from and saw smoke coming off of a building. "A villain! What hero will go on the scene?" He said as started running toward the building, then he suddenly stopped and remembered what All Might had said. He looked down and started making his way home again.

He passed a café as he was looking through his notebook. Kamui Woods, Mt. Lady and finally: All Might's autograph. "Even a top pro said it '' Izuku was upset, he was angry, sad, disappointed, his feelings were a mess. "Don't cry! You knew didn't you? The reality..." These thoughts didn't exactly help the matter. Part of him wanted to become a hero either way, prove the others wrong, another part of him kept telling him to face reality: it would never happen.

He heard another explosion and snapped out of his thoughts, he turned around and saw a huge crowd, as well as a lot of smoke. "Isn't that where the explosion earlier was? Does that mean I came here unconsciously out of habit?" In the end, curiosity got the best of him and despite thinking it was meaningless, he still walked towards the crowd to check out what was going on. "Dammit.. I'm too short" As he was wrestling through the crowd he soon got to the front and got a clearer look of the situation. He stood in shock as he saw the sludge monster. "Oh no... He escaped from All Might because of me and is attacking a student now! Hold on is that... Kachan?!" Now he was really panicking. He's childhood friend, and now bully, was being attacked. Before he knew it he started running towards it. "What am I doing?" He threw his backpack so he could run faster and started clawing at the thing.

"Damn Deku, what are you doing?!"

"I don't know! My legs just started moving!"

Soon, All Might came onto the scene. THe sludge monster was defeated, Bakugou was being praised for being able to fight back as long as he did, Izuku however was being scolded by the police. "It's not fair, I tried to help..." And so he went back home. He didn't say anything to his mom, he was just acting as the sunshine boy he's always been. When he entered his room he couldn't feel anything but sadness, the man he looked up to told him he'd never be able to achieve his dreams, and now here he was surrounded by merchandise. Posters, figurines, anything. The next day he started by taking his posters off the walls. "It's over." Of course his mom questioned him about it. "Mom I'm growing up, I can't live my entire life with a bedroom that belongs to an All Might fanboy" He said scratching the back of his head with a smile. Later that day he went outside, due to the attack from the previous day, most of his stuff was either damaged or lost. Either way: it needed replacement. He started heading towards the first store for some new school supplies when he heard someone talking. At first he shrugged it off, he's outside, anybody could be talking about anything, but after he got his notebook he heard the same voice again which made him pretty curious. He spent a lot of time in that store, who would stand in the same spot outside for 2 hours in the evening? He walked to the alley and started eavesdropping, careful not to be seen.

"I have an idea! How about we break his legs!"

"If I say yes does that mean you'll stop bothering me?"

The first voice sounded energetic, it came from a blonde girl. She wore a cardigan and a navy blue skirt. The second voice sounded like that person was done with life. The guy seemed to have a lot of scars, it freaked Izuku out a little. Another thing that caught Izuku's attention was that the girl seemed to have a knife on her. Could these be villains? Or maybe your everyday criminals? Izuku decided he'd seen enough and wanted to run home, but of course he had to trip and fall over his own shoelaces. when he wanted to get up the girl was right in front of him. At this point his heart was pounding and his mind was racing. "Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, please don't kill me." The girl studied him a bit before she spoke up.

"Hi! I'm Himiko Toga! And you are?"

"I-Izuku Midoriya!"

Toga smiled, not that Izuku liked it, but she did.

"Soooo, what are you up to?"

"I- Uh..."

"Crap" He had to get out of there, but he couldn't think of an excuse. Toga however didn't wait.

"Not gonna answer me huh?" All of a sudden she sounded a lot more serious. Izuku wanted to say something but as he wanted to open his mouth everything went black.

"Dabi, what was that for?! It's no fun when they're passed out!"

"I can't believe you want us to bring someone we've never met before to the league, we could've made a run for it."

When Izuku woke up he didn't know where he was. It looked like some sort of bar except it was empty. There was a torn up poster on the wall and in front of him: two people. The ones from the alley. Izuku sat up, he wasn't tied up or anything "weird".

"You're awake!"

He looked up "Toga, right?"

"So, before we were so rudely interrupted-" she glared at the guy behind her "What were you up to back there?"

They were talking for a while and seemed to enjoy themselves however the other guy, who Izuku now knew went by the name of "Dabi", kept looking pretty salty. Then Toga spoke up: "I have an idea, what if you joined the league?"

"The league?...."

"The league of villains!"

All of a sudden Izuku wasn't exactly comfortable anymore.

"I- I don't know.. I'd have to think about it.."

"hmph, alright then..." Toga sounded disappointed. That's when Izuku left. Surely he wouldn't do it, right? Then again, Toga seemed nice enough, Dabi didn't kill him, and All Might... Allmight had shattered his trust in heroes...

"You're not really thinking about letting him go right?..."

"Of course not... We'll let him think, and if he doesn't want to... we'll just kill him off ourselves..."
