I.M. Izuku Midoriya

An Unexpected Savior

Police surrounded the Midoriya residence. Inko was sobbing on the ground, as one of them tried to console her.

They were looking for Izuku.

But Izuku was gone.

Izuku was long gone.

☆☆☆

Izuku ran, panting, through the brambles in the thick forest. It seemed as though every tree branch, every vine, even the dirt itself, was slapping him. Telling him to go back. But Izuku ignored them, and pushed through the tree roots, and stumps, and annoying critters, until he found himself in a very small clearing.

He looked around.

All he saw was trees, looming over him, around him. He looked up, and saw tree branches. He could just make out the sky.

The shadows were teasing him, moving things, shaking tree branches. This, in the normal world, would seem impossible. But not in the world of the quirked.

Izuku slowly sat down, and curled up into a ball. He closed his eyes.

He could hear something snaking towards him. He opened his eyes, and saw a shadow, bigger than the other ones, slowly walking towards him.

Izuku started to breathe heavily. Who was doing this? Why would they do this to him?

He stared at the shadow, as it got closer and closer and closer andcloserandcloserand-

"Get away from the kid. Scramble!"

Izuku looked up. He saw a man, with white hair and red eyes.

He had just saved him.

As if on impule, the shadows ran and slithered away, deeper into the woods, making noises as they did so.

(That was totally not a Princess and the Frog reference-)

The man picked up Izuku, and held him with care.

"Are you lost, son?"

☆☆☆

The league of Villains were fooling around in the bar as usual.

Toga was chasing Mr. Compress with knives, Shigaraki was trying not to decay Dabi, who was annoying the hell out of him, and of course, Mamagiri, who was watching all of this, making sure noone got killed.

It was all fun and games until All For One came in, holding a skinny, green-haired boy.

"-yes, you said your name was Izuku? Izuku Midoriya, is that right?" All For One asked the small boy.

"Y-yes..." Izuku answered quietly.

Toga screamed bloody murder and ran over to Izuku.

"HE — IS — SO — CUUUUUUTEEE!" Toga screamed.

"Not so loud, Toga-chan," All For One warned her.

Toga jumped around, squealing silently.

"Better. You all, this is Izuku Midoriya, he will remain with us for the rest of the foreseeable future."

☆☆☆

For the next two years, Izuku was trained by AFO himself.

Now, Izuku is sixteen (the story starts when he's 14), and is getting ready to apply to the hero school, UA.

Not to become a hero.

Just to spy, of course.

"Hey, Izuku?"
