Rewind: The Experiment (BNHA)

Part 5

(Bakugo POV)

It's almost two weeks since Izuku went to school. I wonder what happened.. at first I was thinking that maybe he just had a fever or something but.. two weeks is too much for a fever! And so, I decided I'd knock to his home later again. 

After classes, I walked to their apartment. I knocked at the door like the other day but no response still. I was getting impatient and went home. Maybe old hag knows where Izuku is.

Entering my house, I can smell Katsudon being cooked. Now it just reminds me more of Izuku. I didn't even bother changing into more comfy clothes. I dropped my bag somewhere in the living room and went to the kitchen. "Old hag." I called. "what brat?" she asked in a happy tone. "hu? you seem happy?" I said before going to my question. 

"Oh! well three weeks ago I have invited the Inko and Zuzu with us!" She said. no wonder why.. "Well, Izuku hasn't been in school for two weeks, and hasn't been answering calls. I knocked at their door for the ninth time since last week and no one answers. I doubt they'll be here." I said. "What do you mean Katsuki?" 

"I mean, you have keys to their house right? I want to see if they are alright. I wanna see Izuku!" I yelled at her. She said no but after repeating my persuasion for over an hour, she agreed. We just walked since it's near. 

Somehow, I felt nervous. Scared. I wonder why.. I feel like something bad is coming. The feeling grows stronger and stronger as we near. It's like telling me that I was gonna see something terrible. I didn't like it. And most certainly, I  didn't like what we saw when mom and I got there.

"Blood?" I looked at the walls and floor. It was splattered blood. It's dried and looked like paint but, the iron stench reeked the inside of the place. "M-mom..." I say as I tug to her. I looked at her calling for the police.

I woke up panting and sweating. I dreamed of that memory again. Probably hundred times since that day. It's been almost five years. I looked around my room and ended up focusing on the frame with me and Izuku in it. The alarm rang which pulled me out my thoughts. I sighed as I think of how I woke up early than usual. 'well, Sir Nighteye told me I have patrol with Mirio senpai today.' I thought.

I intern at Nighteye's agency. Mirio suggested me because the agency I was in closed and said that Sir Nighteye would probably like my honesty looking at my personality. I got up and rushed since I don't want the agency waiting. Ignoring my classmates I walk out to the train station and met with a waiting Mirio. Well, I guess I'm just on time. He greeted me and I greeted back.

"So, Katsuki.. Why do want to be a hero?" He asked. I flinched a little which was out of character for me. "Well.. at first I want to be a hero because I want to beat All Might.. but, four years ago my friend went missing.. the mysterious case in the Midoriya apartment. It was pretty famous back then." I said. "You mean where blood splattered the floor and walls?" Mirio senpai asked shock. "Izuku.. the son of the woman who died there, none of his blood was there at the scene.. so I have my hopes that he's still out there." I just made the conversation too sad and awkward for my senior. 

"Sorry.. I made things awkward." "Don't worry! you'll find him!" He encouraged me. I was glad he did. "Oh look our stop is here!" I nodded and we walked out the train. We went to the agency building and changed into out hero costumes. 

Nighteye let us go and told us to patrol the area. He wants us to look out for the Yakuza group he has been following. Mirio knows what to do so I just have to follow him. After a couple minutes of going around.. something happened.

A girl ran out of a dark alleyway. "Wh-what..?" I muttered out. Why would a girl come from there? From a dark alleyway.. I looked at the girl a second time and saw bandages. If crying wasn't bad already unicorn here looks terrible with the bandages! Her arms and legs are covered. What the hell!?!! Then out of the dark, Lemillion's face was shocked. Overhaul! the man we've been tracking. Unicorn tugged onto me more. 

"Eri.. don't bother the heroes." Overhaul said. His tone was cold.. as if he'd kill. "C'mon Eri.. you're slowing the heroes down." He convinced. Eri didn't budge. "Excuse me? Why does she have many bandages?" I asked. "Sorry, my daughter here plays rough." He said changing his tone to a soft but then,

 The man fixed his glove. I can feel the girl tugged to my leg tighter, as if that's still possible. What's with his hands? "C'mon Eri.. you don't want your brother Izuku waiting right?" 

'huh? brother? Izuku?' Now that I think about it she has a horn like Izuku.. Thoughts aside! The statement involving a brother seemed to have made Eri run back. we didn't have a choice but to watch them disappear in the shadows of that alleyway.

"We must report to Sir Nighteye!!" I exclaimed to Mirio.
