Adapting is hard

Slain

The sun crept into the window as I awoke to the screaming voices of my foster family.

"Izuku you finally awake!" Said Lizzy.

"Yeah have you guys eaten yet?" I asked eyeing the group.

"No but can you make pancakes?" They asked in unison.

I chuckled "yeah sure go wash up and I'll start breakfast." I said making my way to the kitchen.

Soon we all sat down at the table. I watched as they talked and argued with each other. That is until I saw my foster mom make her way down stairs.

"Hey guys what are you eating?" She asked while wiping the sleep from her eyes.

"Izuku made pancakes!" They kids cooed to their mother.

"Oh that's great are there any left?"

"Aren't you going to work?" I asked handing her a plate.

"Nope I'm on the night shift today."

I nodded my head and watched her eat. After everyone had finished I stayed inside to wash the dishes.

I glanced outside and saw as a black car pulled into the driveway.

No one got out they just waited. Then I saw as my foster mom went out to greet them she seemed off. Then a man in a black suit got out of the car.

I stopped doing the dishes and made a beeline to my duffle. I grabbed the notebook I had started and stuffed them inside.

I could hear as they made their way up the stairs.

"Hey Izuku I want to talk to you about something." She said as she came closer.

I backed away from my door bag in hand. I didn't notice I had backed away until I hit the window. Turning away I unlocked it and kicked the screen popping it out of place.

Turning back to the door stood my foster mom and two men in black suits.

"Hey hey what are you doing Izu? It's okay just come away from the window they just want to take you to your permanent home. Don't worry everything will be fine." She said trying to encourage me to come to her.

Slowly I set my bag out the window and started to take a step towards her. Them thinking that I had changed my mind I spun around on my heel and threw myself out the window.

Trying to crawl away I felt as a hand gripped my ankle trying to rip me back through the window.

Kicking the hand away I ran across the roof stopping to look down. I threw my bag down as I climbed down the gazebo.

Once my feet were on the floor I ran.

I didn't stop running until I reached my old apartment.

Panting I tried to catch my breath. I pulled out my phone scrolling through my emails to find the one UA had sent.

Then my eyes landed on the invite 'you are always welcome.' It read. Tears built up in my eyes.

My home gone, my family gone even my second everything is now gone and I don't even know why!

I started walking down a few alleys when I came upon a gruesome scene. To pros laying there with tears in their eyes.

That's when I noticed the man clinging to the wall. I waited making him think I didn't see him. But once he jumped at me I moved a little. Barley missing his blade.

"Man kid you've got some fast reflexes maybe you'll be a hero one day.... Never mind a squirt like you wouldn't last a day out here with people like me"The man said eyeing me.

I just glared. But I knew he was right no one would even give me a chance it wasn't going to happen.

Lost in thought I didn't notice when he crept behind me until it was too late.

I felt as something hard hit the back of my head. And it was lights out from there.

"Sir they said they lost the boy." The purple mist said to the TV screen.

"That's alright if he's missing he'll end up dead anyway. It just means someone else will take care of him. He's weak and won't last in this world just like his mother." The voice said before static was all that remained.

When I woke up I was in a warehouse tied to a chair. I could feel as liquid ran down the side of my face.

My eyes searched frantically for a way out but I already knew that I wasn't going to find one.

So instead I focused on untying the ropes that bound me.

A laugh rang though the warehouse and bounced off the walls.

As a hand grabbed a fist of my hair pulling my head up wards. My eyes were met with red. As Stain the hero killer examined my face he smiled. Letting go of my hair and repositioning himself in front of me.

"I bet your curious about the men and about the murder case of your mother?"He paused " Maybe I should fill you in or maybe I should just let you go."he said.

"What are you talking about how could you possibly know anything about me!" I yelled at him.

"I did my research while you were out and I pulled a few strings."

He started to tell me about the  Research he did on me. He told me about the hero commissions and how they were twisted and broken. He mentioned the things that I didn't even know about myself ,about my past. He told me about my father and how he was the one responsible for my mothers death.

He said The hero Commission figured out who killed my mother and wanted to use me as bait. Due to the fact that someone important was targeting me.

I watched for social cues anything that gave away that he was lying. When I found none I decided to sit there and listen.

The one thing he wouldn't tell me was the name of my father. His birth name or villain name. Only that he was a bad man who killed hundreds and destroyed the lives of even more.

I had to weigh my options. Be used by the hero's and possibly die. Or stay here and hide but also learn how to protect myself.

He wanted to teach me. Said he felt sorry for me and had nothing better to do. So I decided I would trust him even if that meant putting my life in the hands of a wanted criminal and murderer.

And when I told him my decision he smiled. And then In one swift motion the ropes fell from my small frame and landed on the floor. They had been cut. But I didn't see him do it.

He said he would take me in for now but eventually I would have to find my own place.

Leaving the warehouse. We walked for about an hour before we made it to an apartment complex he shoved me inside and told me to sleep on the couch and that tomorrow my hellish training would begin.
