Hijacked Hero (completed)

Chapter 8

POV Izuku

In one fell swoop, Izuku was back in the room, smelling the stale air and the pheromones of numerous alphas who had taken advantage of him there. Each time he had tried to fight back. Each time he had failed and been defeated.

He couldn't let it happen again. He couldn't endure it without losing his mind after all. He had to keep the alpha away from him. This time, Izuku wouldn't let it go that far. He had One For All and could fight back. His quirk would protect him this time.

His heart hammered against his ribs in panic. In a corner of his mind, Izuku knew he was breathing too fast. He was going to black out. If he lost consciousness now, he would be finished. Then they would put the bracelets on him again and he would be defenseless against his tormentors.

Something was said, but Izuku did not understand the words. He was on the verge of losing control completely from fear. A hand came down on his head and he instinctively slapped it away. "N-no! D-don't touch me!"

Tears streamed down his cheeks and Izuku began to sob. He was insanely afraid of what would happen next. The pheromones of an alpha filled the tiny room. Izuku stiffened at the smell.

It took him a while to realize that they didn't feel threatening, but reassuring - even familiar.

And finally he managed to make out the spoken words, "Shit, Deku, I'm sorry. Come on, look at me. You need to calm down. You're safe. No one is going to hurt you here. I'm not going to let that happen. I'll take care of you, okay?"

Izuku let himself go with the pheromones and the voice. Cautiously, he risked a glance. His counterpart's ruby eyes looked pained.

"It's all right," the alpha before him assured him. "I'm not going to touch you unasked. I just want to help you. You said you wanted to take a shower. First, you need to calm down a bit."

He slowly raised his hand and lowered it again. He repeated the gesture. "Come on, Deku, we'll breathe together. Take it easy, nothing's going to happen to you. Yes, just like that. You're doing so well."

The small room with the stained mattress receded into the background. Izuku recognized the tiled bathroom he was sitting in and heard the rush of the shower. It wasn't an unknown alpha sitting in front of him, about to abuse or torture him. It was Kacchan.

The blond hero radiated calmness and confidence. "Very good, Deku, you're doing great. It's all good. We're at the hospital. You're in no danger."

Abruptly, Izuku realized what he had done and withdrew One For All. "I-I'm s-sorry." His voice broke on the last word.

"Shh ... You don't have to apologize. It's okay. I'm sorry for what I said. I didn't think about it. I'll take better care of it from now on."

Izuku gradually relaxed, yet the trembling that ran uncontrollably through his body remained.

"Okay, let's get you into the shower then, huh?" Katsuki smiled encouragingly. Since when could Kacchan smile like that?

"Tell me what I can and can't do. I won't touch you or look at you if you don't want me to. You decide. The choice is yours."

Slowly, Izuku nodded. It had been a long time since he had had a choice. He probably needed to get used to that again.

When the omega continued to remain silent, Katsuki spoke up again, "Do you still want to shower?"

Again, Izuku nodded.

"Okay, let's go then." Katsuki rose smoothly and slowly stretched out his hands. "Can I help you up?"
