A different kind of Villain

8.New "Friends"

('Thinking')

"Speaking"

~~~~~~IzukuPOV~~~~~~~~

After getting rid of all traces of our "fun" we had for the last few hours. Momo and I had finished up setting up my room. Now we were waiting for the others to show up as class had ended. Soon enough we could hear them coming through the dorm's entrance. I sighed internally as I had to put on my pathetic nerd act.

As I sat down on a couch in the common area, Momo quickly took a seat next to me and took one of my hands into her own and started stroking it. I raised an eyebrow at the action but before I could say anything our classmates walked in.

"Wow Yaomomo! Already putting the moves on the new hottie?!" shouted an excited pink-skinned female. Going off what Momo told me earlier this must be Mina Ashido, whose quirk was acid. 

('At first glance you'd think her quirk is a mutation-type, but thats not the case here. Must be an emitter-type, I'm guessing the acid produced by her body has something to do with the changes in appearance. Seems like an extrovert, with a outgoing personality....... That said I'm sure her personality was influenced by her need to fit in. Pretty sure she would have been bullied for her looks in her younger years.')

I faked a minor freakout at her words, but before I could "deny" anything was going on Momo interjected.

"It isn't like that Ashido-san, I was trying to help him calm down after another panic attack set in." 

('Clever girl, she can still keep her hands on me without suspicion and with the added bonus of her being seen as my 'guardian'. Might as well play along.') I thought as I pulled up my knees and wrapped my remaining arm around them. Rocking back and forth, while muttering disturbing words.

Momo, being the genius she is caught on and started to soothe me. "Its ok Izuku...... we are free now, just like I promised.... No one is going to hurt you here."

"R-r-really? C-can I r-really t-trust t-them?"

"Of course you can Izuku..... You trusted me right? 

"Y-yes I-I d-did..."

"Then believe in me again. They will not hurt you, in fact I'm sure they want to be your first friends besides me. They are all nice people."

I merely looked at her, before slowing looking around at the rest of class 1-A who seemed to have realized how serious my supposed trauma was. Making sure to smile and try to comfort me as much as the could by trying not to intimidate me. After I scanned the crowd I noticed my two main victims still missing.

Deciding that they had waited long enough, I answered Momo

"O-ok M-momo....... I-I'll t-trust t-them b-b-because y-y-you d-do." Momo merely smiled as a collective cheer came out of the class. I 'flinched' at the sudden spike in volume. Seeing this Momo glared daggers at the class while they instantly calmed down seeing my reaction.

"Sorry about that Izu, we didn't mean to scare you. Its like Yaomomo said you can trust us! You're safe with us here!" said Mina seemingly speaking for the class.

"O-ok.....W-will y-you r-really b-be m-my f-friends?" I asked them

"Nope! We're going to be your best friends Izu! You'll never have to be scared or lonely again!" Mina chirped back to her usual persona.

"Well then if you all are going to become Izuku's best friends you should introduce yourselves properly to him." Momo injected before Mina could go off on another tangent.

While the class introduced themselves to me, I had pretty much zoned out and merely nodded along while acting like I was listening. A neat trick I picked up thanks to Shiggy's stupid ass rants, blah,blah, kill all-might, blah, blah, I think dabi's hot, blah, blah, oh god I forgot to keep a finger off and now my dicks burning! or something. I don't know didn't really pay him much mind.

Anywho, I pretty much sat there and analyzed their quirks and personalities. Their friendships and the class dynamic. Looking for weakness and things to exploit, and man did I ever find some gems. A kid with daddy issues, a girl with money issues, a couple of others with low self esteem, there are just so many ways to break them.

After they were done introducing themselves, I excused myself for the night. Acting like I was worn out from meeting all these new people. They didn't pay it much mind and let me leave without much issue. As I made my way to the girls side of the dorms, I heard two perverts screaming about how lucky I was.

('Mental note, kill those two in the most brutal way possible.... There can be only one!') I thought as I closed my door behind me. Only to hear a knock at it, turning around I opened the door and smiled once I saw who it was. Glancing around quickly making sure the coast was clear I pulled her into my room shutting the door behind me.

Wrapping my arms around her waist I pulled her in for a quick but passionate kiss. After a few seconds I pulled away much to her dislike.

"So tell me why you are here Lilliana? Or should I be calling you Sandstorm?" she shifted uncomfortably.

"Sit down Izu, we need to talk about my mission..."

~~~~~~Sametime/Common area~~~~~~~

~~~~3rdPersonPOV~~~~

"So Yaomomo..... are you sure it isn't like that? You never let go of his hand." said Mina with a grin like the cat who got the canary.

"Yeah Momo! You totally have the hots for him! Its as easy to see as my beautiful eyes!" said Toru Hagakure the resident invisible girl.

"Girls, I assure you its nothing like that...... Its just that I feel so bad for him after everything he must have gone through...."

"What do you mean by that Yaomomo-chan? *kero*" cloaked out Asui, tilting her head to the side. Right as she asked the two missing members of class 1-A walked in, one ignoring the other while the male was enraged. They both stopped to listen in as this was a matter that concern them both.

"Alright I will tell you what I know, as you know I was captured during the usj attack and taken to their hideout. I'm not sure what their plan for me was, but it couldn't have been good. I was tossed into a cell with him after they put quirk-sealing cuffs on me."

"At first I thought he was dead due to the condition he was in...... I've never seen something so horrible in my life.... I started to cry at the sight of him. I guess the guard didn't like that, so he came in and hit me in the head. Before he could hit me again, Izuku tackled him and tried to fight him. Izuku lost and was beaten badly."

"After awhile the guard got tired and left forgetting all about me. I felt so horrible that he got beaten because of me I walked over to him and did my best to help him. Guys..... he broke down crying because that was the first time in ten years he had felt any kindness...." 

You could see the horror spreading across the students faces as they realized what Momo had just said.

"He..... was tortured..... for ten years?!" asked a teary eyed Mina

"Yes, that isn't the worst of it..... from what little her remembers it seems he ended up there because his dad gave him to those villains because he is quirkless. He told me that from before that night, he only remembers a green-haired girl and an ash-blond boy beating him and using their quirks on him. He has several burns from the boy's quirk...... Now that I think about it....." 

Momo said as she stared directly at Bakugo, making the others turn towards him.

"He said that boy's quirk made explosions from his hands......... You wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you..........Kachan?"
