You Can't be a Hero [MHA x Quirkless Male Reader]

VII - Abomination

"I assume that Y/N is settling in well?" The faceless voice asked.

Shigaraki sat at the bar, not far from the screen that displayed the words 'SOUND ONLY'.

"Yes," He replied. "He's been training himself constantly, he's even built some muscle in the few weeks he's been here."

"I must ask you Tomura, why did you feel the need to bring this boy into the league? After all he has no powers, what is it you see in him that could be of use to accomplishing our goal?"

Shigaraki scratched his neck before continuing. "He might be weak in that aspect, but he has potential. He hates this society just like I do, the ones with fancy quirks or in his case quirks at all are automatically higher in the world for that ability alone. Did you know that All Might himself told Y/N that he couldn't be a hero? Now he hates All Might more than I do! Quirk or not, he's filled with so much anger that he will become a powerful asset."

"I see..." Pleasure could be heard in the man's voice, and an invisible smirk crept onto his face. "Well I look forward to speaking with our new recruit in the future."

"Of course, Master."

Six Months Later

The UA entrance exam. It would be happening right now. Y/N didn't need it marked on his calendar, he had embedded the date into his mind all those months ago when he intended on applying. Deku would be all giddy and happy walking in through those damned gates. Yes, Deku. Y/N had opted to use Bakugou's insulting name for the boy, the blond boy's definition of Deku being "Someone who's completely useless." Y/N was there when the five year old coined the term, and Bakugou consistently used the name to make fun of Izuku for the years following. Although Y/N now had a different meaning for the word from Bakugou's, he thought it still fit for how he felt about the boy.

"Ah the UA entrance exams are happening today aren't they? Tomorrows greatest heroes will show their potential and begin their journey, it's so poetic isn't it?" Shigaraki said as he came into the bar.

"Maybe we should go and attack it." Y/N snarled.

"Patience now. We'll make our move soon enough. Remember, we want to take down All Might, then when he's gone the world will fall into chaos and we'll be free to do what we want. Then you can go after this Deku boy."

Y/N frowned. "Yeah, let's just go kill All Might! I'm sure it'll be as easy as snapping my fingers!" He sarcastically said.

"Y/N, you haven't given up on me, have you?"

"I just don't get why you think it'll be so easy for us three to just kill All Might."

"Oh I didn't say us three would be doing it."

Y/N gave a questioning look to his friend. "Oh yeah? We got a new member or something?"

"Kurogiri, watch the bar, I'll be right back." Shigaraki disappeared into the back, Kurogiri not uttering a word but simply cleaning some glasses.

After a few minutes, Y/N could hear loud, thundering footsteps approaching. Ripples formed in his drink, and bottles and cups started clinking together. The thumps got louder and louder, and then Shigaraki reappeared.

"Y/N, say hello to Nomu."

A massive creature stepped into the bar, the dim lighting of the room illuminating it's terrifying body. It's skin was a deep, almost black shade of purple. Large red scars littered it's extremely muscular body. It's mouth protruded out from it's head, forming a beak of sorts that was full of sharp teeth. Though the most striking and disturbing feature was it's exposed brain, which held two unmoving and emotionless eyes. The thing looked to be bigger than All Might.

Y/N didn't know what to say. He was quite scared of the sight before him. It disturbed him really.

Shigaraki noticed the fear on the boy's face. "Oh don't worry, he won't lay a finger on you. Unless I tell him to that is."

"What- what is that?" Y/N asked, clutching onto the bar with one and and his stool with the other.

"This, is our ticket to killing All Might." The hand covered man's voice became excited and childlike.

"He has multiple quirks, each helping him become resistant to All Might's attacks. Shock absorption for his stupid smashes, regeneration that will allow him to regrow more than 50% of his body, not to mention he's extremely strong on his own."

"Multiple quirks? How? No one is born with more than one."

"Well, Nomu wasn't born with them either. He's a bio-engineered weapon designed to take on All Might at 100% of his power!"

Nomu remained in place, it's freakish, jagged teeth forming a smile almost. Y/N stood up and walked over to the monster. He looked the thing up and down, and it was most definitely taller and larger than All Might. It would be quite impressive if it wasn't an abomination.

Nomu remained in the bar over the next few weeks, just sitting there. It made Y/N uncomfortable at first, but he got used to the thing and tolerated it. School would have started by now, if Deku got in he'd be living his dream. Though if he didn't get in it wouldn't shock Y/N. Whatever his power was, the boy was physically and mentally weak. He had no muscle, and cried over every little thing. He didn't have what it takes to deal with the stuff he'd see as a hero. Y/N smirked. He on the other hand had grown significantly, and his strength was very impressive. His fighting skills were quite good as well, now whenever he went onto the streets he never lost a fight, even to men double his size.

Shigaraki was reading the newspaper. It was a bit of an outdated form of media, but it still served its purpose.

"Did you see this joke." He said as he threw the paper onto the counter.

Y/N leaned over to get a look at it. It was a picture of All Might, in a suit and not hero gear. This usually meant he did some sort of interview, and Y/N couldn't have been more uninterested.

"Just some other interview. It's a joke, yeah, but nothing special."

"No, it's no interview." Shigaraki placed his beer down on top of the paper, the moisture seeping in and darkening the page. "It says he's a teacher now."

"Actually? At UA..."

"Perhaps it is time to set our plan into motion." Kurogiri's echoey voice proposed.

Y/N and the misty man looked at their leader, waiting for his response. Shigaraki only sat, his elbows placed on the counter and his chin resting in his folded hands.

"It's almost as if, we're in a video game..." He finally said, his voice dry and raspy. "The final level is just waiting for us to press start."
