Izuku's story

His past

 "Did I say something wrong?" Shinso asked Alzawa as Izuku walked out, all the teachers knew what he was doing and going through outside the door, "no you just made him really happy he had to get some fresh air" Alzawa said then standing up and leaving Shinso with the teachers, he walked out and sat down next to the panicking and shaking Izuku struggling to breath, Alzawa pulled him in to his arms and stroked the boys back helping him breath and calm down, then the boy leaned into the hug and cried. They stayed like that for ten minutes before Izuku stopped shaking and calmed down, "sorry" he said sitting back against the wall. "Don't be" he says, "the idea of Shinso meeting Shigaraki scares me to the core" he said with a chill, "I can't and won't let that happen" he said with such a protective tone, "it just means I have to put all my attention into the league of villains and arrest them before Shinso can join UA" he says with such determination, "its not that easy" Alzawa says even though he wants to do the same, "normal villains im fine with Shinso being a hero against I will train him myself if I have to I will keep him safe but this All For One and Shigaraki are scary, not as scary as my father but much more dangerous" he says taking more deep breaths. "Thank you for taking good care of Shinso" he says with a tear, "im going to talk to Shinso but it's probably best he stay with you especially since im on the Leagues radar and they know about him, the minute they find out his quirk they will target him more than for just leverage" he says and the thought scares Alzawa, but he agrees. "What about you problem child" he says, "I go back home, keep studying at the library and find new jobs for money then continue helping people at night" he says and Alzawa frowns, "if you know your a target why go?" he asks, "right now I can hear a father abusing his son" he says and that took Alzawa by surprise, "later I will go to that house and arrest the father, this world is cruel and I can hear and see all of it, im going to keep trying to help people find hope and the beauty rather than the darkness and harshness" he says and Alzawa is impressed through the roof. "Until I was eight I had never seen the sun or sky, the moment I did I found out how beautiful the world was, I want to help people who are scared or drowning in hopelessness and show them that there is more than pain and suffering like love and happiness, even if I become there hope, something for them to live for" he says and he didn't know all the teachers were listening impressed through the roof, "why did you only see the sun for the first time when you were eight?" Alzawa asked scared of the answer, "I was born and raised in an underground facility my father owned I was his play toy for his stress, I only knew pain from being tortured everyday and the violence of my father and the library with the books and the small tv I fixed, for eight years I only read about the outside world, then when I was five I fixed the tv I saw people called heroes with things called quirks and I saw people and kids with smiles running around on grass. I got so jealous of there happiness, I wanted to feel the air and sun or smell flowers or wear clothes that wasn't a lab gown, I wanted to explore and learn out the world above me, the world that was so beautiful and free unlike my lonely and painful shelter. Everyday since I can remember I would be chained up called worthless and quirkless, told my only reason for existing was to be my fathers play thing, he used to call me his little Izuku, he would laugh and grin at my screams of pain he would cut of my limbs or dissect me alive, inject me with chemicals to hear me scream of the agony as it burned me inside out, he would burn me and cut or stab or slash, he would always laugh and have that horrifying grin on his face as I would cry and beg for him to stop. Then after every experiment he would get the lady with the quirk and heal me fully leaving only scars, my body got torn and broken over and over then put back together everyday. One day he stabbed my eye and pulled it right out of the socket with that sick grin, he placed the device in my head then got my eye fixed and healed back as if it never happened, the device was made to enhance my pain. I had gained a tolerance to my pain and stopped screaming and crying I would just endure it and my father hated it, he didn't know that it would enhance my pain but senses as well. At first the pain was excruciating, my senses all over the place, the smell of my own blood overpowering, it took time but I learned to control it and soon it became my weapon. I found that with practice I could sense so far away and see and know everything and I could also zone in and have normal senses to block everything out. Once I learned to control my new power I went back to enduring the pain and not reacting from my pain tolerance. I would get new books and watch the small tv I had whenever my father wasn't in the room and I could sense when he was coming and hide everything. Then one day the nice lady Inko who brought me the books and used her quirk to stop the pain and fix my body died, my father murdered her because she got fed up of his play time with me. I heard and smelt the entire thing as if I was in the room when it was on the complete opposite end of the building. I broke, the only hope and nice person in my life was dead, so I grabbed the bomb I had been making and finished it then I put it on the metal door keeping me from my freedom and the beautiful and warm world I yearned for. I escaped and ran, I ran as long and far as I could. Everything was new and so fascinating, my dream for years had come true I felt fresh air and could touch grass and smell flowers and see the smiles on peoples faces. It was beautiful. The moment I finally had freedom and my darkness was gone, so I quickly built myself a home and started learning about the world, I went to the library and learned all I could from my curiosity, I tried food that wasn't canned dog food that I had been eating all my life, the first food I tried was stale bread but I cried because it was so delicious, I found actual clothes in a dumpster and wore shoes for the first time not bare feet on concrete. Everything amazed and fascinated me, but not as much as quirks so I started watching and analysing them, my senses helped I could easily tell if someone had a hot or cold quirk from the radiation in there body or if someone had a transformation or mutation quirk from the vibrations they gave off. I learned to read people and soon I decided I wanted to help people and stop the cry's and screams for help I heard in my ears of this very loud and busy world, at first I thought I can make the cry's stop and quieter then maybe it would stop being so loud, then after a while I started enjoying saving people and the smiles they would give me, I wasn't useless. I adjusted and got used to how loud and bright the world was instead of my concrete underground bunker that didn't allow me to hear or sense through. I became a vigilante I had started working out and training my body since I was six when I decided one day I would fight my father and escape but I still didn't know how to fight until I met standel. The training was hell but I liked it, for once I had a say in what I did and that freedom was amazing. After a while I started going after villains trying to improve my skills and gain experience, anyone who asked for help or was in trouble I would run too, no matter who they were or the situation, suicide attempt I could hear there heartbeat and coax them back, hostage situation I could sense and know where everyone was and assess the best course of action, human trafficking I could sense the radiation of people in containers and save them. Anyone I sensed or heard in trouble I helped, then I started teasing and annoying the hero and detective charged with arresting me, everything I did was new and I wasn't chained and hoping for a hero to save me. Then I met Shinso, he was so small and cute in a cardboard box, he had been there alone for four days not talking because he was told he had a bad quirk and he would be a villain, I got so angry when I read the letter from his mother. He was just a toddler it isn't his fault, so I tried to get him to come with me, he was so scared of his quirk or it would hurt me and from all the words he had been told, he wouldn't even speak to me. Then when he panicked and accidentally used his quirk on me and passed out from it I picked him up. Do you know a man there told me to leave him there because he was a villain, I got so mad he called a toddler a villain for a quirk he had no say in picking and a quirk he was afraid to use, I lectured that man and took Shinso home with me. It took him some time to understand that his quirk wouldn't hurt me and that he could talk freely to me and the second I told him I wanted to care of him he burst into tears, I was angry at the world for treating him the way he was that I became so protective. After a while he opened up and we became brothers a family, me and him against the world I had multiple jobs and ran errands to get money for us both and then at night I became shadow and helped people, everything was going okay, I kept tabs on Shinso's father and stayed hidden from mine and helped Shinso know his quirk was controlled by him not the other away around. Then Shinso got sick, I panicked and I was scared the only person I had in this world and he was getting worse, I had a sort of trust with you so I took my chance, I went crime fighting like a maniac until finally you came, then when you agreed to take Shinso to the hospital I had never been so relieved and you know the rest" he said and all the teachers were processing. They weren't expecting it to be so traumatising. "Now you know why I can't be in the system, my father would find me and I can't risk Shinso becoming a play thing" he said and Alzawa still said nothing, "are you okay?" Izuku asked and Alzawa just looked pale and as if he might throw up. "Im gonna let you process and talk to Shinso about him living with you" Izuku says then got up, grabs Shinso and goes someone private.

The teachers stay stunned silent processing in the mean time, "Toshi I want to talk to you about something" Izuku says, "I want you to continue living with Eraserhead" he says and Shinso looks confused, "what about you?" he asks, "im going to live on my own but I will visit everyday and we will hang out" Izuku says heart breaking, "but I want to live with you" he says so innocently and sadly, "I know but Eraserhead has the money to take good care of you, you can have clothes and food and medicine plus here at UA you can learn and be safe" he says and Shinso looks like he wants to cry, "but I don't care about that I just want to be with you izu" he says with tears, "I know but its dangerous for you being with me, this way you are protected and I can visit anytime, now everyday when I visit and see you, you can tell me all about mr grumpy and things you learn from the pro heroes" Izuku said trying to convince Shinso, "if you want I can always sneak into mr grumpy's apartment and sleep with you" Izuku says cheekily and Shinso grins with a giggle, "but are you okay with living with him, he isn't bad and I know you like him" Izuku says joking and cheering Shinso up, "okay but sometimes you sneak in and sleep with me and you visit everyday" he says and Izuku salutes and Shinso laughs, "okay im going soon I need to start job hunting but I should thank mr grumpy" Izuku says as he's carrying Shinso in his arms and Shinso plays with his hair giggling away.
