The Ticking | A Villain Deku Story (MHA) |

Chapter 5- Pain

TW: Suicidal Thoughts

TW START

All Izuku could do was sit there in shock, as his mind flooded with the thoughts he had been bottling up inside.

"Maybe I really am useless, would anybody actually care If I did die?"

"Realistically I-"

TW END

But Izuku's thoughts were cut short by one last explosion to the shoulder, and his backpack contents being spilled across the entire room, courtesy of Izumi.

"See you at home Izuku, try not to be too late okaaay, you wouldn't want to anger dad would you?" Izumi taunted with a cackle.

The rest of the gang in the room sneered, before they headed out of the room, leaving a battered Izuku behind, covered in burns and wet from both sweat and tears. 

But Izuku had no motivation to get home, as he already knew what was to come regardless of whether he got there in 5 minutes or an hour, so for the next 20 minutes Izuku just limped around the room collecting all of the items from his backpack.

Eventually Izuku managed to collect all of his things and headed out towards home, taking the longer way to give himself as much time to prepare for walking through his front door.

TW START

"Kacchan really said that...would he really not care if I was gone"

"Maybe it would be better that way..."

"Maybe"

TW END

 

Izuku continued to drown himself in his thoughts when around 20 minutes into his walk  he felt something crawl up one of his legs.

"Ohh Look what we have here, a perfect meat suit, don't worry it'll be over in just a second"

Izuku could feel the revolting sludge start to crawl up towards his face, it felt suffocating, and as it travelled it made a familiar burning sensation spread across his entire body upwards towards his eyes, causing searing pain. 

The boy let out muffled cries for help, as the slime entered his throat.

"Heelppwhf!!"

"HELLPh!!!!"

"HELPJD!!!!!!!!

"AAHSUDHDHD"

Izuku's breath started to give out....but not before before Izuku felt a surge of something-

Tick

-and blacked out.

~28 minutes later~

When Izuku woke up he was greeted by the brightest of bright lights and a light stinging pain covering his whole body. 

"Am I dead?"

But in just a couple of seconds his eyes re-adjusted to the afternoon sun and he glanced around at his current situation.

.

.

.

Blood.

Around Izuku lay the scattered remains of the sludge villain, with every part of his body spread apart from each other mangled, and Izuku, he was left without a NEW scratch to be seen. (He keeps track)

Izuku's eyes widened as he tried to comprehend what possibly could have happened to create such a scene. 

Was it a hero? 

Was it a villain? 

Did the sludge just combust?

 Questions ran through Izuku's mind like an Olympic track star, before he glanced at his phone.

"SHIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT"

As while it is true that Izuku wanted to take a little bit longer to get home, he most definitely didn't want to take THIS long, so in a matter of seconds he got off and sped away from the horrid scene trying to get home as fast as possible.

It was exhausting, especially considering he was still recovering from previous injuries and the fresh ones from today, which made it almost impossible to move without searing pain. But he was still able to run for a good 20 minutes before he had to stop in an alleyway a couple blocks from his house to catch his breath.

"God how I hope my parents are feeling 'ignore the child' vibes"

After a couple minutes of resting against a nearby wall he had started to pick up a run again when he heard a familiar voice from an alleyway nearby. He slowly approached it, when he saw All Might

and

his sister?

Sorry for the short chapter here, but I really wanted all of the events of the next chapter to be in the same chapter.

Hope you guys are enjoying the story! :D
