A fresh start

Chapter 4: A new hell

Pov Izuku

When I came too, I was in a grey room with nothing but exposed bricks, a flickering light, a torn blanket, and some dog bowls one with a grey paste and the other with water.

He really does think I am some sort of pet

This is insane they are crazy

I need to leave this madhouse

I got up to try the door praying that it would be unlocked that was when it hit my head was pounding, and I became super dizzy and fell to the cold floor. It took a couple of minutes for my body to acclimate to the pain I was in. Once I was finally able to move I checked the door locked.

I mean yeah that would be stupid to leave the door unlocked

My neck itches like crazy why

Is that a callor

What is wrong with them first dog bowls now a callor

I am not an animal I am a human

I have a name it's .....

Wait what's my name???

Why can't I remember?

Memories of my first time here came flooding back, that purple liquid is why I can't remember. I thought back as hard as I could trying to remember anything I could. A few bits and pieces started to come back. I love katsudon it's my favorite food, I want to be a hero, and I am quirkless.... I still couldn't seem to remember my name. That was when the door opened and Master entered the room. I tried to run past him only to be thrown against the wall. I slide down gasping for any air I could get.

Master: Now Now 42 you can't try running away like that. We paid a hefty amount of money for you I am going to make sure we get our money's worth.

Izuku: I have a name its-its-its ....

Master: Don't think too hard you will only hurt yourself 42. Now come along you've been asleep for a week it's time to begin.

A week I was out for a full week

Wait what time is it what day is it

Why can't I remember my name

Ugh everything hurts I just want this to stop

I followed Master towards what I can only assume was the doctor's room. As we were walking I looked around hoping I could find some way to escape. I saw what looked like a bar with a tall purple gas cleaning a glass.

I really am going crazy

Come on Deku get it together

WAIT THAT'S MY NAME DEKU

How could I forget so many people call me it

Once we arrived at the doctor's room I was strapped down to the table again this time it felt a little tighter. Master looked mad and was mumbling something about being pissed he had to wait a week because I was too weak. I knew what was coming next when I saw the doctor this time he had 2 needles one purple like last time and the other bright blue.

Doctor: I going to keep giving him the memory to ensure that we get a blank slate by the end of this.

Master: That's fine but what quirk are you going to give him, I know sensei wants this experiment to work.

Doctor: Just a basic healing quirk we stole from one of my colleagues.

Master: If this doesn't work I am going to punish you 42 you got that?

Me: Yes master

I can't believe they want to give me a quirk!

I didn't even know you could do that

They must not be bad people if they are giving away quirks for free

The purple injection came first this time it wasn't as bad just left me with a migraine instead of making me black out. I was a little excited when I saw him come back with the blue needle. I wanted to be a hero and getting a quirk would only help in that regard. However, no amount of blind optimism could have prepared me for what came next. Once the blue fluid flowed into my body, it started to reject it like it was some sort of virus. My insides felt like they were at war with the quirk, it became too much and I threw up some sort of black vile all over myself. Even after all of the gunk was out of me I still felt swore my body ached. I saw a chair go flying above me to my horror it was Master who threw it.

Master: I told you there would be a punishment for rejecting my gift. Kyudai start preparing another quirk we are doing it again.

Doctor: Shigaraki subject 42 just rejected a quirk I haven't tweaked the batch yet this one is bound to fail. I need at least 5 days to adjust it

Master: Perfect this NPC needs to learn his lesson.

It hurts I can't take another one of those I have to leave. I tried my hardest to get out of the straps but to no avail. I was given a total of 3 failed quirks that day each one hurt more than the last. I was sitting against the wall in my room looking at my bloody wrist marks from where the straps were tied still visible. Hungry and thirsty my pride gave way and I started eating from the doggie bowl. The gray slop was the most bland tasteless thing I have ever tried.

Weeks went by with the same result more quirks more fails but now the punishments were slowly getting worse. At first, it was just more failed attempts but now it was torture tying me to a chair and dragging a knife across my skin, decay parts on my body just enough that the open air would burn. I could feel my memory getting worse it was like trying to read a book threw a slice of Swiss cheese. One day after I was left alone in my room I had the genius idea to write down what little piece I could but without any pen or paper, I was left with only one choice. I lifted the blanket that was my bed and started using my blood as ink. I wrote down a few important things like I want to be a hero, katsudon tastes amazing, I am quirkless, and I am Deku.

*********Author Notes*********

I do have a quirk in mind for Izuku that I want to get. I am currently grinding on writing these chapters at least for me this is much faster than I thought I would go. I can't promise to keep up the pace though. I am only able to put so much time into it since it's my day off and I haven't had any plans. I also will probably try to pace myself so that I don't get burnt out but I can't promise anything. All I know is I have a story in my head that I want to get out. I also have a few other ideas for different stories but I think it would be best for me to focus on writing them one at a time. I guess that is it for today's notes idk peace.
