Unseen Fate [ Villain Deku x Ochaco ]

Chapter 3: Laying the Pieces

The Night sky blanketed the city with the dust of stars illuminating paths for lost souls, city lights for lost people. But for a person who is lost in both terms, they go to bars to refresh their hearts. But one such bar aims to refresh society and only the people who have lost against life, against society, against dreams and against heroes are invited here. But what would a sixteen-year-old have anything to do here?

The door opened with a bell chime. "Welcome," Kurogiri greeted the other. "Please have a seat". He sat on one of the bar stools and drank some coffee. "What are you doing here Brat?" spat Shigaraki. "I was told to come here" he answered in a menacing voice. "Wh-" before the Face-palm guy could retort, the screen came to life. "No need of hostile behaviour Tomura, I called him. After all he is one of my bests" Spoke the man behind the mask. "But Master! I was almost going to succeed! It was that shity blaster kid! Otherwi-" "Now now Tomura, learn to learn from your mistakes. You had the chance and you failed it. You have a lot of experience to earn before you reach that level" The man answered.

"Is there any particular reason why I was called here, my liege?" he asked. "Yes, two in fact. First is our usual ordeal, I have given Kurogiri the name. Execute them." ordered the 'Master mind'. As on cue, Kurogiri passed a few pages to the kid. "It will be done sire, what is the other matter?" he asked politely. "The sports festival of UA is happening this weekend, you are my finest information gatherer. So I want you to go there and gather as much analysis on quirk as you can. If possible then infiltrate"

"... As you wish sire. I will do it." he bowed, wore his mask and leapt outside for his tasks. "Good luck, Izuku Midoriya".

"Mornin' Everyone!! UA Staff welcomes you all to our annual Sports Festival!!" Screamed Present MIc from the live TVs fixed on the stadium. 'How much do they spend on these??' Midoriya wondered. 'And what is with this ridiculous amount of people??' he decided to sit at the best place where one can see Screen and live without a problem.

"Now, to represent Class 1 of UA we would like to call Katsuki Bakugou on stage"

'... Katsuki'

"I pledge, I will be the number one" Katsuki announced without a flinch or change in tone. And everyone started to revolt against him and send taunts. 'Tch, you didn't change' He stared at Katsuki, and for just a second, it seemed like Katsuki glared at that section of the audience, or rather at Izuku.

'Well It was obvious that Bakugou would come first in the race, but this Todoroki... Son of number 2? His quirk will be a headache to fight with if he reaches to max potential. Momo Yayourozu, creation? That is just straight-up a broken quirk. Deni KIaminari, Electricity. That's a trope power but nonetheless, a superpower. But, I wonder who is that kid? Purple hair, bags under eye and not so well built. He definitely is not from Hero Course, but his presence is giving me hills-' Izuku was thinking but then. "Kid, will you shut up? I am here to enjoy the show and not listen to your babbling" shouted a short old man. "Oh I am really sorry sir" He apologised. 'Gran Torino? That's a rare quirk and man as well.'

'Looks like it's break time?' Izuku went down. 'Man I wish I could meet them, that be more fun.' he thought as he went towards the edge of the visitor's area. "Oh hey! Midoriya!" Ochaco called out from the other side. "C'mon in! It is okay" pointing towards the visitor's zone. "Isn't this dangerous? What if I was a serial killer?" he asked while following her. "It is okay. Cause I know you are good" She smiled.

"Modoriya! Nice to see you again!" Ida greeted the kid. "Who is this bro?" Denki asked with a very concerned look at Ochaco. "He is my new friend" Ochaco replied. "Oh, A friend! Not a Boyfriend! Well, I still have my chance-" "shut up Pikachu" Jiro stabbed him. "It's nice to meet you Midoriya, I am Momo Yayourozu," she said.

Ochaco then looks at Izuku who isn't speaking. 'Is he okay? I just wanted him to have new friends...' "Are you okay Mi-" "Nice to meet you all!!" Izuku said bowing at least 8 times. 'I hope that he feels better by getting new friends.

"So you can basically create anything? Does that include firearms and medicines?" Izuku asked. "Uh, I have never tried making medicines as they are very complicated. But I can make a canon." Momo answered and Midoriya scribbled a few details in his journal. "Do you make this for every hero you meet?" Ochaco asked curiously. "Yeah kinda?" Izuku said slightly embarrassed by his own habit. "Looks like round two is going to start, meet you soon Midoriya!" Denki waves at him. "Yep! All the best to you all!" Izuku chimed. As he started to walk back to the stands, a blonde held him by the shoulder.

"What are you doing here, deku?" Bakugou hissed.

"Mind your own business, Katsuki" Deku replied

Taken back by the response, he let him go. Partially because he was confused, but mostly because he was... intimidated. The very look that a hungry wolf has when he looks down at its caught prey. It could be observed even by a blind person as it was piercing through Bakugou's soul.

Katsuki looked back at Deku, but this time, he was normal. Enjoying his Cotton candy while chatting with some shady yellow-robed old man. As if there was no conflict between him and the blonde a few moments ago?

"THE WINNER IS KATSUKI BAKUGOU!!!" announced a very cheerful Present Mic. It was a very lengthy battle, Bakugou pushed Todroki into a corner. Making the quiet kid use his fire powers. Todoroki believes he lost the match when he used the very moment he thought of using fire. Bakugou didn't look that happy while getting the medal, so did Todoroki. "Kid, where do you live?" asked the old man. "I live near the Aldera Junior School," he said helping the old man with the crowd. "Ah, if you ever feel like it, drop by Hosu city. You are a very interesting kid, reminds me of one of my ol' friends" Grandpa said waving him bye.

Izuku lives alone with his mum in the apartment, they shifted a bit further from the locality so that he could go to his high school. He chose Psychology and Hero History as his main subjects, but no one knew why the former? If anyone asks, he just tells them that he has various interests and this is one of them. From the outside, anyone can tell that he grew a few inches, gained some muscles and overall was more well built. But Izuku denies that he ever went to the gym or did some heavy exercise. But one thing that Izuku is interested in is Detective work. And the latest string of murders and crimes has piqued his interest.

A killer with no witness comes in the dead of night. Kills an entire villain group, and escapes unharmed. No fingerprint and no bloodshed from the killer. A perfect killer, a perfect hunter.

But last night, he killed someone out of his territory. And the miraculous part, there was one witness. Who describes the killer as a "psychotic rabbit man".

While reading through the news article about the incident, he makes a few notes and puts them on the pinboard. He then scrolls through his contact list. One big uncanny smile prints over his face as he takes out a worn-out rabbit mask. Infiltration is complete.
