Experiment No More

Chapter 3 - He doesn't speak

Izuku was around 12 years old now. He knew that he couldn't speak anymore he didn't know how. He even couldn't remember anything before living here. No one bothered to teach him anything so he still couldn't read or write. Izuku thought that the people purposefully did that so it would be harder for him to live there.

Izuku was curled up in a ball in his room, no tears left his eyes. He had stopped crying years ago learning quickly that they didn't help anything. If anything, it made things worse because he couldn't see what was happening when he was crying. A sudden tremor shook through the building and Izuku shot up straight terrified of what was going on. He backed up the corner of the room.

Outside the lab was being attacked by the heroes who had learned of its existence. Pro heroes Midnight, President Mic, All Might, Endeavor, and Eraserhead along with many others were raiding the base. All Might and Endeavor lead the charge with President Mic and other pros behind them. Eraserhead and Midnight lead the rear making sure that no one would escape.

When Eraserhead came through almost everyone was already taken care of, so he went to run through the base making sure to check every door. Meanwhile, Izuku is cowering in the corner unsure of what is happening but knowing he was going to get punished if he moves. He hears swift and light footsteps come near his room and Izuku instinctively backed up and curled up in a ball. The door swung open quietly and Izuku pressed himself further against the wall. He heard a small gasp and a low growl. Izuku started shaking unsure if this new person was going to hit him or punish him for doing something.

"Kid?" Eraserhead said softly seeing the small boy curled up in a ball and shaking. The shaking got worse when Eraserhead spoke. And from what Eraserhead could see there were scars all over the small boy and his hair was barely visible due to it being cut so short. He could also see cuts along his head due to the hair being gone. What did they do to this kid?

Izuku was panicking not knowing what was going one. Was it another test? They are probably testing to how he reacts to the new person. This wasn't good, last time they brought a new person Izuku had almost died from the beating he got for accidently throwing up on the person. He could hear the new person come closer and Izuku's breath hitched, and he started digging his nails into his arms hoping that the man would leave him alone. He felt a hand on his shoulder and Izuku flinched violently away his breathing starting to become uneven and black spots dotting his vision.

"Hey, hey hey" a deep voice said sounding like the person was trying to be comforting. "I'm not going to hurt you, I'm here to help"

Izuku just shook his head not believing the voice. The last time someone had said those words he had been given three quirks all at once and ripping away the two he already had. The pain had been unbearable. He had just gotten use to the quirks when they were ripped away and then three more were shoved into him.

"Can you tell me your name?" Eraserhead asked the shaking kid his heart crying at the sight of the small kid. The kid just shook his head and backed up further away from him. Eraserhead felt like cursing the kid clearly didn't trust him, but he needed to get the kid medical attention. It also looked like a type of strap was around his head. Eraserhead then heard some other footsteps coming down the hallway. Eraserhead could barely keep himself from calling out. He didn't want to scare the kid even more.

Midnight was coming down the hall looking for Eraserhead wondering where the sleep deprived caterpillar went. She heard some movement up ahead and she walked in to see Eraser crouched to the ground looking at a shaking kid curled up in a ball. From what was visible there were scares all along his arms and legs, his hair was cut extremally short and scars could be seen all along his scalp. Midnight just wanted to run over and hug the poor kid. Eraser looked up and saw Midnight looking sadly at the kid.

"The kid won't move" Shoto said softly

"He looks like he needs medical attention" Midnight said nodding and bending down to look less threating

"Hi there" Midnight said softly trying to get a reaction out of the kid.

Izuku on the other hand felt like he was going to pass out due to lack of oxygen. It was bad enough with one new person, but it was even worse with the other one walking in. He could tell they wanted to talk to him, but Izuku knew better. If he made a noise, he would be punished. Izuku was breathing so fast and heavy that he was going to pass out any second.

Midnight noticed the heavy breathing and quickly rushed over to try and get the kid to breath normally knowing it was bad to pass out from breathing that quickly. Shoto noticed the same thing and rushed over as well. Izuku felt them come closer and started scratching himself scared of what was going to happen.

Midnight was forced to use her power to stop the boy from hurting himself further. Izuku slowly felt himself slip into unconsciousness which he was glad not wanting to stay awake any longer. Shoto noticed the boy go limp and quickly picked him up noticing that he was way to light to be heathy. Midnight gasped as they saw the face of the boy. A muzzle was over his face forcing his mouth closed. Scars crisscrossed his face and over one eye. His cheeks sunken in and hallow showing the malnutrition. Eraserhead stood up with the boy in his arms and started walking outside to get the kid medical attention.

Both heroes got outside and saw that everything was being taken care of. Other people looked over and saw Midnight and Eraserhead walk out with a small child in Eraser's arms. Ambulance workers rushed over when they saw the kid and put him on a stretcher to start examining the boy to make sure that he had no life-threatening injuries. Some police officers walked over and started asking what happened. Eraser and Midnight both told what they saw and how the boy acted. Notes were jotted down and the rest of the raid procced smoothly considering that it was just clean up.
