Endless Insanity

A boy stumbled around confused and in a daze. He was beaten half to death and bleeding all over. He had no idea where he was but dragged himself along regardless. Aizawa carefully approached the obvious child.

The boy's leg was broken, yet he refused to stop moving. Aizawa made noise as he inched closer and cursed to himself. The boy quickly turned to Aizawa, his eyes wide and full of fear. Aizawa could see the panic in his eyes and quickly tried to calm him.

"Hey hey hey it's alright I'm not here to hurt you or anything. I'm a pro hero, Eraserhead, I just want to help you." Aizawa raised his hands.

The boy stopped backing away but still looked terrified.

"What are you doing out here? What happened to you?" Aizawa asked, inching closer.

"I-I I don't k-know, " A small trembling voice said.

Aizawa was taken aback by the tiny voice, "Kid, how old are you?"

"14...I-I think, " The boy looked around paranoid, and flinched or jumped at every little sound.

"What's your name?" Aizawa asked.

"I-Izuku, " The boy mumbled before collapsing.

"Shit," Aizawa caught him.

Aizawa stood outside the Hospital room talking to Nezu and the detective. Suddenly, metal hitting the ground could be heard followed by a scream.

The three rushed into the room to see a medical tray on the floor. Izuku had a death grip on the nurse's wrist as she held a needle. He bore his teeth, an inhumane rumble left his throat.

Aizawa carefully approached the boy, "Izuku...please let her go."

"No! She's gonna hurt me! I don't want the bad stuff. I-I've been a good boy I swear!" Izuku looked absolutely terrified.

"Izuku no one here wants to hurt you. I promise it's just medicine to help you feel better." Aizawa tried to reason with him.

"Y-you promise?" Izuku said quietly.

Aizawa slowly nodded and Izuku let the nurse's wrist go. She held her bruised wrist with teary eyes, set the needle down, and rushed out of the room. The head nurse who was in the doorway gave Izuku a small smile.

She entered and grabbed the needle before walking over. Aizawa noticed Izuku trembling and sat beside him. He grabbed the small boy's hand trying to comfort him. The woman pushed up the sleeve of Izuku's hospital gown.

Izuku turned his head and buried his face in Aizawa's arm. Izuku gripped Aizawa's hand until the needle was pulled out.

"See that wasn't so bad!" the nurse smiled.

She put a bandaid on his arm and pulled a sucker out of her coat. She handed it to Izuku who wiped his teary eyes and took it. She then gave him a small wave and left. Izuku returned the gesture and watched as she left.

"Hello Izuku, I'm Nezu and this is Detective Tsukauchi. He's just going to ask you a few questions, ok?" Nezu smiled at the boy.

"Ok..." Izuku said quietly.

"What is your full name?"

"Izuku Midoriya,"

"Where do you live?"

"I-I don't have a home"

"What were you doing out near those dumpsters?"

"I sleep there,"
