the gifted one

IZUKU POV

" Incredible"- I thought.

I stare at the new message The System sent me.

"IZUKU YAGI, WE FORMALLY APOLOGISE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. IN RESULT WE WILL GIVE YOU YOUR POWER YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE LONG TIME AGO, BUT TEN TIMES STRONGER. PLEASE ACCEPT OUR DEEPEST APOLOGIES AND ACCEPT THIS GIFT BOX"- The system says. I stare at the message.

" I could have had a normal life"- I thought, reminiscing of all the times I was slurred at and beaten just because the system didn't give me a power. Some people even said that The System thought I was unworthy to have such a power. I was stunned, sitting there on my knees as my injuries healed for me, leaving scars. I smile, I smile so wide from ear to ear and start laughing like a mad man.

" I have finally lost it"- People would say. I just laugh, putting my hands up in the air. I could have had not such of a horrible life if these quirk was given to me earlier. I could have had they feeling of love and care for me, but no, I did not have that. Instead I had what has to be the shittiest life any person could have.  It felt like ages as I was just laughing, looking up into the abyss.

" I could finally have my revenge, get revenge on the people who bullied me, abused me, cursed at me, wishing that I was never born."- I thought and devilishly grin. Even though I said I never wanted to see a grin like that again, I was the one doing it.

"revenge,revenge, revenge, revenge, REVENGE."- I think over and over again. Then, the laugh ceases. Silence.... Complete silence. All on my mind was revenge. I finally had the power to overcome my enemies. I'll even become a rouge if I have too. ( Rouges are the villains or vigilantes). My mind subsidies to darkness and I start to have another memory.

(FLASH BACK)

NARRATOR POV

We are seen in a cave with Nel teaching Izuku about math. Izuku turns to Nel out of the blue and asks.

" Hey Nel, what does it mean to be a family or have one?"- Izuku or known as Clay at the time asks. Nel has a shocked look on his face.

" Oh, a family is someone who is blood related to you. A family also means to stick together through thick and thin. People who are supposed to guide you through life. Don't you have a family Clay?"- Nel answers Clays sudden. Clay shivers and turns to look at the ground..

" I have never had a family. Only people who are blood related to me."- I mumble loud enough for Nel to hear. Clay looks up again to see Nel with a sadden look on his face.

" Does, does family have to be blood related?"- Clay says and Nel gives a warm smile.

" No, a family doesn't have to be blood related. A family could also be someone you're very close with and care deeply for."- Nel says, while kneeling down to Clay's height. Putting his hands on Clays shoulders.

" Then can I repay the justice I want for the people who were supposed to care for me?"- Clay questions.

" Of course you can repay justice, just not through violence."- Nel answers. Clay's face visibly saddens.

" Why not? They hurt me so what's so wrong with me hurting them.."- I voice weakly.

" Because then you'll prove that you're the same kind of person as them"- Nel coveys, Clay looks up at him shocked. Not expecting that answer. All of Clay's life he wanted revenge for those who wronged him, but never had the courage to actually do so. Clay had a burning hatred for his supposed family and wanted them to go though the same kind of pain he felt. But then he was told he would be just like his parents, sister for wanting so. Clay never wanted to be like his parents. He utterly despised them. Clays eyes start getting cloudy. He suddenly remembers the things he says as a child. Saying that he wants to save people. To help them.
