Silent Heart

『36』

No One

"Say whatever you want to about me! You're still just a criminal who hurt my brother!" Iida yelled.

"And that's why you'll die tonight," Stain grinned, licking the blood from his knife.

Iida's eyes widened as his body grew stiff and he was now unable to move.

"Goodbye child, may your death bring about a better world," Stain stood over him.

"I won't forgive you! I'm going to kill yo-"

Suddenly Iida's eyes rolled back and he fell unconscious shocking Stain who took a step back. Izuku appeared between them, Katsuki at his side, beginning to drag Iida and the pro away from the area.

Izuku approached Stain, a cold and dead look in his eyes, unnerving the man as his bloodlust overflowed. For once in his life, he was genuinely afraid of another person, he could tell by the look in Izuku's eyes that he's killed hundreds.

"Why do I sense him on you?" Izuku tilted his head, his eyes white.

The man grew frightened at the loud voice in his head.

So this is the brother...

"I-Izuki right? He said to tell you I'm one of you," Stain told him.

Izuku's entire demeanor changed, "Oh," he smiled "Hi,"

"H-hi?"

Izuku's head turned a bit, "You should leave now, heroes will be here soon, but first..." Izuku walked up to the man and whispered something in his ear.

Stain nodded and took a step back, "I can do that, see you," with that he disappeared in the night.

Izuku turned to meet the others when he paused, his eyes lit up and a large grin graced his face as he shot into the air.

"The nomu make such great playthings," Shigaraki watched from afar.

"Are you not going to participate in the fight?" Kurogiri asked.

"Don't be stupid, I'm still injured, that's why I brought those pets with us," Shigaraki turned to him.

"You know if you weren't such a useless waste of space I'd heal you but you're not worth healing," Izuki shrugged.

Shigaraki glared at him and Izuki glared back making him flinch, "Are you not satisfied with this? You seem unimpressed," Kurogiri spoke, trying to put attention on him.

"Why would I be satisfied with this? What is this attack even accomplishing? This has nothing to do with our goal, it's just him throwing a temper tantrum. This is a waste of time, energy, and resources," Izuki said annoyed.

"What is it accomplishing?! By the end of the night, the world will have forgotten about the hero killer!" Shigaraki grinned.

"And that helps us how? What exactly will we gain out of this shit? You're an idiot, all this is doing is bringing more attention to Stain. This is going to backfire on you, I just know it," Izuki shook his head.

"Then what would you have us do instead huh? I don't see you coming up with any brilliant ideas!" Shigaraki growled.

Izuku's eyes turned red, "Watch your fucking tone or I'll cut off your tongue this time," he said darkly.

Shigaraki flinched harshly and took a cautious step back, Kurogiri moving in front of him protectively. Suddenly Izuki looked up, a large grin making its way onto his face as he turned to the side and opened his arms.
