The Hood | Part 1

19. Wasting Time

While everyone was wondering where the Red Hood A.K.A. Izuku Midoryia was, he was laying on a mattress, shirtless and sweaty. His was void of green so it was all black. He had bulked upped similar to Bakugou. He still had his scars from before the training camp mixed with brand new ones wether it be burn, bullets, or slashes.

He was laying on a singular mattress that was laying on the ground. He tossing and turning as he slept.

"Thats not who I am!"

"Dont pretend to understand!"

"You did this to me!"

Izuku opened his eyes and sat up on the bed. He took a look around the room to gather his surroundings. He was sleeping in a run down apartment that looked barely liveable.

He stood up to grab a towel to wipe off the sweat from his face and body. Izuku walked past a mirror and did a double take to look in it to see his body littered with scar tissue.

"What do you want with Kacchan?" Izuku asked quietly as he was strapped to a chair.

"How heroic. Thinking about others when you're the one in trouble" Shigaraki spoke walking around Izuku.

"What do you want?" Izuku asked again.

"Its simple" Shigaraki said showing Izuku a picture of him with All Might. "My master believes you're the next symbol of peace." Izuku could only look at Shigaraki with his eyes halfway open. "So, what I want is for All Might to be the last symbol of peace" Shigaraki said placing five fingers on Izuku's arm, causing him to scream out in pain

Izuku stared at the mirror for a moment longer before walking away to grab a shirt and hoodie before leaving the apartment. His stomach had told him to get some food. But he was all out. So he was traveling to a nearby fast food restaurant.

Upon entering the small establishment, the first thing he heard was something about the Red Hood.

"The crime rate has skyrocketed since the Red Hood disappeared"

"I'm telling you man, the heroes caught him. They're just keeping it a secret"

Izuku walked past the two boys having there conversation and waited in line.
_______________________________________________

Izuku Was sitting in a chair Watching a small TV that barely lit his apartment. He was watching the news broadcast while he was eating his fast food.

"The crime rate had spontaneously increased over the two weeks since the Red Hood had disappeared."

"The guy is a murderer. Who cares"

"Well, he lowered the crime rate by twenty percent. He was the one who made the villains scared to even rob a corner store."

"He's a villain himself. Last time I checked, heroes don't kill people"

"A villain? Hes-"

The broadcast cut out as the argument looked liked it was about to get heated. This made Izuku laugh as he tossed a fry into his mouth.

"He's right, I'm no hero" He said before taking out a bite of his burger and switching the Channel which was a child's show of All Might. He instantly switched it and it landed on the show called Arrow.

Izuku sat calmly through the episode and was kind of enjoying it. That was until a torture scene came up where someone slowly pushed a knife into the main character.

"Wakey wakey" Shigaraki spoke turning on the lights. Izuku wore a blind fold over his eyes.

"Please, stop" Izuku begged.

"Stop? Why ruin the fun?" Shigaraki asked as Izuku heard him fumbling with metal objects. All of a sudden, there was a sharp pain in his leg. Shigaraki took off the blindfold for Izuku to see a knife in his leg. Izuku's eyes were wide, but he wasn't making a single sound.

That was until Shigaraki nudged the knife slightly making Izuku scream at the top of his lungs.

"Whoops" Shigaraki said with a smirk as he ripped the knife out of his legs. Izuku was breathing heavily as he did his best to stay sitting up.

"Please" Izuku cried to Shigaraki.

"Please what?" Shigaraki asked with his back turned to Izuku as he cleaned the knife of the blood.

"Please stop" Izuku begged only for Shigaraki turned to stab his other leg. Izuku stared at it for a moment before letting out a scream.

Izuku stared at his burger as ketchup dripped out of it, spilling onto his hoodie.

"Great" He said taking another bite before he set his food down to go change.
