Izuku walked out of the school building from a window. It was night
time.

He hid behind a tree right besides the sidewalk to the UA dorms, where a few heroes were. Mr. Aizawa, Present Mic, All Might, and a few police officers. Izuku was breathing heavily, watching them.

"Uh-huh. They said he was found near the school. At some junk yard. We'll find him soon." Present Mic's voice said. Junk yard? Izuku thought.

He took a step forward to hear better.

Snap.

He accidentally stepped on a twig. Izuku's heart stopped. The heroes turned their heads to the tree for a few seconds, then turned back.

"Well, I suppose we should go."

The heroes began to walk away. Izuku waited a few minutes, then slowly crept from the tree and followed the heroes, staying out of sight.

Mr. Aizawa looked back a few times, as if he knew they were being followed.

The heroes made a turn around a corner, and Izuku stopped. He listened to the footsteps of the heroes until they were far enough. He began to follow again.

It was a few minutes of this, until they were now in an abandoned playground, with a bloody old pole on the ground besides the fence. There was also an abandoned facility too.

Izuku hid behind a trash can. The heroes looked behind them for a moment, then turned back around.

Izuku stood up, and knocked down the trash can.

The heroes spun around; the trash can was rolling across the road, but there was nobody in sight. "That trash can.." Mr. Aizawa muttered. "Bakugou!" All Might yelled, running towards the can. "Wait, All Might!" Mr. Aizawa called. Present Mic and Mr. Aizawa hurriedly followed All Might.

Izuku watched them behind the wall of the playground. All Safe. He thought.

He looked at the pathway the heroes were walking to. He stared at it, then began to walk forward.

He walked all the way up to the abandoned facility.

The door to the entrance to the building was ripped from its hinges, and on the ground. Izuku stepped over it, cautiously walking into the building.

It was almost completely empty. There was another door in the corner of the room. Izuku walked in through the doorway, which revealed a hallway full of doors, and a stairway at the end.

Izuku opened the first one.

It was a closet, with pillows and blankets inside. Izuku picked one of the blankets up, and carried it. It was soft.

He walked all the way to the end of the hallway, and to the stairway. He took a step. It creaked loudly, but Izuku ignored it. He took a few more steps.

For some reason.. something was dragging him upstairs. As if something he desired was up there.

On the third floor, he stopped.

There were loud noises. It sounded like an animal.

Izuku turned his head to the hallway of doors. He began to walk through the hallway, dragging his feet.

The noises got louder. Izuku placed his hand on a doorknob and turned it.

Izuku stood at the doorframe, staring at Katsuki.

"Kacchan."

Katsuki was trapped in a tangle of rope and wires, grunting and trembling, attempting to escape. His eyes landed on Izuku, and he bared his bloody teeth, his thrashing becoming more violent.

Izuku took a few steps forward, and to his surprise, Katsuki began to drag himself backwards into the wall, his breathing getting violent. Izuku paused, then placed the blanket on the ground.

He continued to walked forward, hand outstretched. Katsuki bit at him and screeched, but Izuku placed his hand on the wire.

He gently pulled, making it loose. Katsuki fidgeted. Izuku then pulled on the rope underneath Katsuki's arm and pulled it outwards and over his arm, then his head, and Katsuki was free. Katsuki shook off the remaining wires and ropes, then hissed at Izuku and scratched at him, then backed into the corner of the room.

Izuku then picked up the blanket from the ground.

Katsuki screeched again. "D..Deeeeeek.. uu." He choked on his own words and gagged. He hurled out a bunch of red, bloody, chewed up pulp.

Izuku stood there, shocked. "Kacchan." He said, in a hoarse voice.

Izuku felt his eyes watering, but he took a shaking step towards Katsuki and threw the blanket over him. Katsuki didn't shrug it off as Izuku expected him too, but instead growled and took several steps back into the wall again.

Izuku blinked back tears. "Y-Yeah.. it's me, Deku." He whispered, reaching his arms out to wrap them around Katsuki's body.

His fingers brushed against Katsuki's cold skin, and there was a sudden movement. Katsuki lurched, and Izuku recoiled, screaming.

Katsuki had shoved his claws into Izuku's shoulder and tore. Katsuki now had skin and blood in his nails. Izuku fell onto the ground, clutching his shoulder. Tears were starting now.

Katsuki then got back onto his hind legs and stomped to Izuku, his mouth wide open. Izuku scrambled off the ground and ran to the door. He slammed it shut.

He expected Katsuki to burst through the door, screaming, but he didn't. Instead Izuku heard the footsteps cease, a grunt, and silence.

Izuku got off the floor and ran down the stairs, his shoulder still bleeding badly.

He burst out of the building and ran.

Gotta.. tell.. heroes! He thought. Then he stopped.

He had to tell the heroes. But what would the heroes do? Katsuki was a nomu.. the heroes killed nomus. Katsuki had hurt Izuku.

Izuku stared at the ground.

No. No. No.

No, he wasn't going to tell them, not anymore. He would save Katsuki himself.

Izuku continued to run back to the UA dorms, thinking of a plan.
