The Rage Within

Halting Actions

I pace back and forth the small bar, my head was going a mile a minute as my father was in a meeting with a few other of the big villains. I could hardly believe this was happening. I wonder just what my mom was thinking, carving that into a woman. Now we are WAY set back!

"Izuku, you should probably stop pacing or you'll create tracks in the wood. Also you really need to stop mumbling, none of us can understand you like that." 

Dabi's voice made me stop to stare at him. I was mumbling.... I haven't done something like that in a long time. Just as I was about to go on another rant the door to the office swung open. All for one and Shigaraki stepped out into the open.

"Thanks to the heroes we are going to need to put a pin in our plans. Sadly at this point we have no choice." All for One let out a large sigh, glancing at me with tired eyes.

Toga groaned slightly, "How long will we have to wait for boss man? I was really hoping to get some blood samples soon! Izuku will have to do it for now I guess..." 

"Don't even think about it Toga."I sent her a glare that would make even the strongest man tremble. Toga, being Toga, rolled her eyes and hopped up onto the counter of the bar. Shigaraki growled lowly while scratching at his neck.

"Thanks to you're dead mother you are the hero's top priority."

"Yeah I noticed. It took me forever to shake the hero who was trying to follow me. It's like wherever I go there are people who are watching me."

Dabi sat down heavily, "Izuku it might be better if you laid low for a while.. I mean with all the craziness going around I don't want the League to be in any major danger."

"Awwww I think that sounds like you are actually worried about me Dabi!" I clasp my hands over my heart and sigh in a dramatic way. 

Dabi simply scoffs, turning to face All for One once more. "Shut it Deku." 

I laughed, "Like I haven't heard THAT one before Dabi. You sound so much like Kacchan right now that I can't take you seriously."

Dabi scowled even worse than normal "Don't compare me to one of those hero wannabes!!"

I simply laugh harder making my father clear his throat rather loudly to gain our attention once again. Toga, who was watching the whole exchange, had a grin that said she was going to slice someone in half later.

"Both of you knock it off. Izuku, Dabi is right, you should try to keep your head down for the time being. Let the heroes think that they are helping you, keeping you safe. If anything comes up I will have Dabi or Toga come and get you."

I give a sharp nod, That does make sense, letting the heroes 'protect' me would be the right course of action.

"I am going to head out now, the hero who is following me probably already contacted the other heroes to let them know that I went missing."

Father gave a single nod and Toga leaped to open the back door, letting me slip through. Although first she kissed me on the cheek, letting her fangs brush against my skin. I shove her off of me with a warning glare, simply making her giggle and close the door behind me. I run down the allies, all of them connecting to my street, the one that I lived on.

I slip into my dark empty house. "I'm home.." I whisper it as softly as I can, knowing that I would not get an answer back.

I wonder what happened to that hero that was following me earlier today... As if reading my mind, the door was slammed open as two heroes ran in. I cock my head, eyeing them. That answers that question. Once one of them sees me he quickly relaxes his stance and approaches me.

"Izuku Midoriya correct?"

"Yeah, what of it?"

Both heroes exchanged a glance before looking back at me. I sit down in one of the wooden chairs. 

"Is there a reason you came barging into my home? Or am I just to believe that is normal hero behavior." 

"I'm very sorry Midoriya. We simply wanted to check the house and make sure you were alright."

He was trying to cover up the fact that there had been another one of their men following me. "So you decided to burst the door open without knocking first? That's professional alright." I roll my eyes. Both of them had the decency to look shameful. 

"We were simply worried."

"That my mother would come up from the grave and try to arrest me? Yeah that has me shaking in my boots." I growl the last words making both of them flinch.

"If we offended you at all-"

"Listen, just get out of my house and leave me alone. I already lost my mom yesterday. I don't have the mental strength to talk to anyone anymore."

The one that had spoken first quickly opened the door, bowing low as he did. "We are very sorry for our actions here tonight Midoriya, it will not happen again."

They better not... I stand up as the door closes quietly, walking over to put the locks on said door before getting to my room and collapsing on my mattress.
