Broken...Not Shattered

Chapter 32: Frozen in Fear - Epilogue

3rd Person POV:

As Izuku walked out of the cafeteria he pulled out the Legion's phone, and asked Fu, "How do I find Hikaru's location?" She sighed and said, "Click on the app called Location Pinpointer. Then when it opens it will show you Hikaru's location, but be careful. It will give you the direction, not how to get there." Izuku simply scoffed, but Grimm rolled his eyes and said, "You know this place is a maze. You're going to get lost, even with the little guy's location." Izuku ignored him, he was not in the mood to talk.

As Izuku walked through the halls, memories of his past replayed. He thought...hoped...that the harsher memories of his past were forgotten. However, he knew better. He knew that he just buried the memories deep down in a locked chest. But those 'locks' he placed on them, were fragile and a simple sentence could turn him into a sad, angry, and alone little boy. Something he promised to himself he would never be again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Izuku finally reached the marker that told him Hikaru's location he saw Hikaru with his goggles on muttering, "Why does this school have to be so complicated?" Izuku smiled slightly at Hikaru's adorable frustration and walked up to him and tapped his shoulder. "Hey Hikaru," Izuku said. Hikaru turned around quickly and with confusion in his voice, he exclaimed, "IZUKU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Izuku looked away and said, "An incident happened in the cafeteria. It's best not to ask, but I brought you your lunch." Hikaru was worried and hoped Izuku didn't do anything. Better yet, he hoped that Grimm didn't do anything. Izuku may be brash and violent, but Grimm was worse. He didn't care for the rules and would kill anyone that got on his nerves. Minus him of course. He, Izuku, and even Fu were special cases.

Regardless Hikaru knew he couldn't change the past so he just hoped the one who got on their bad side was still alive. It was all he could hope for. He wanted to change them...make them happier, give them the ability to let go of their past, and he wanted them to stop taking lives. He didn't want to force them, but he was wished he could do better.

Then he had an idea. "Hey Izuku, why don't we have lunch in the infirmary. Make sure the students don't hate him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Izuku begrudgingly agreed, and Grimm and Fu said no. Izuku cut off his connection and walked away. Grimm and Fu didn't really care, however, as Izuku was in control of the body. Izuku didn't necessarily hold it over them, but they did agree the one in control was the one in charge.

Anyways, when they reached the infirmary everyone in the room tensed, except for the Recovery girl who wanted to say something. "Don't...just don't old lady," Hikaru said. Recovery girl quieted down and was hurt that neither of her grandsons, even if they weren't biological, considered her their grandmother.

She walked away and went to heal Monoma, the student who just entered the infirmary.

Izuku and Hikaru were left alone with the 1-A students who were terrified. Hikaru was the first one to speak. "This is what it's like to be a hero. That's the first thing they taught me. They took me on a patrol and showed me what the world's like. They didn't want to discourage me, they just wanted to prepare me. That's the same thing they are trying to do. If this was one day, could you live the rest of your life after U.A like this?" The class 1-A students were left to think. They were going to have to deal with this for the rest of their lives if they graduated.

Izuku was next to speak. "I don't hate you guys. Very few people are worthy of my hate, and you are not. You just need to be taught how life is. Would you be able to see death every day, and continue to do so to save lives? That's what it means to be a hero. Pushing away your pain and saving those that you can save. Not for fame, money, revenge, but for the sole reason of saving people. However we are only human, we can't save everyone. You just have to do your best, no matter what that may be. So, could you be a hero?" This left them to think and they didn't have an answer and Izuku knew it. "I won't shame you if you can't, just know if you still want to be a hero ignore your pain, stand up, and walk to the main class. I will be giving a lecture on what makes someone a villain. The main exercise will be finished, next class. Anyways, if you do show up, that will prove to me you are willing, and if you are willing I will personally train you guys, along with a select few." Izuku then stood up and signaled to Hikaru that they were leaving.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Izuku walked into the classroom and saw everyone sitting in their seats. "Good now let's begin the lesson. N-," Izuku was interrupted when Kirishima said, "I hope we weren't too late."

Izuku smirked and said, "No you're right on time. Now, what makes a villain a villain." Katsuki screamed, "THEY'RE THE BAD GUYS! WHAT ELSE NEEDS TO BE FUCKING SAID!" Izuku ignored him and asked, "Anyone, anyone at all. Really not a single person that matters. Well, that's unfortunate, but make my job easier. Villains aren't villains because they break the laws. No, they are villains because they have had enough. The world didn't care for them, and now they don't care for the world. They do things that harm others to do them. Even if they have a reason, in the end, their actions eclipse their acts. For example, a starving homeless man steals an apple and is beaten half to death and a person burns down dozens of buildings because they evicted him. Who is the villain and who is a victim of circumstance?" Uraraka raises her hands and says, "The homeless man is the victim and the arsonist is the villain." Izuku nodded and continued. "Correct, but things aren't always black and white. The homeless man could have been someone who was lying and was stealing because he could. Now, let's continue." Izuku continued until the bell rang. "Everyone leave. The next class will continue the exercise. Then another lecture. Until next time." 

Yay, I updated. Anyways, sorry for not updating I've had writers block. I didn't know how to start or end it. I hope you guys like it. Until next time.
