The Viper

Chapter 1: Backstabbers

Izuku knew something was off; nobody was talking to him or even coming near him. They all avoided him like the plague.

Aside from one person: Kacchan.

He was cast as the UA traitor, and Izuku's eyes widened in shock.

As Izuku broke down in tears, Bakugo went into an empty classroom to comfort Izuku as he got himself together.

In homeroom, Aizawa had asked him to meet him in the principal's office.

As he entered, he noticed that most of the teachers were there, and even Nezu was present.

His heart began to race, thinking about all the different possibilities that could happen.

Aizawa broke the news he wanted the least to hear: even the teachers thought that he was a traitor.

As he broke down into tears, stating that he wasn't the UA traitor, All Might punched him in the face and said in a disappointed tone, "MIDORIYA, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?"

Izuku didn't know how to speak. He was shocked; he thought his mentor would at least believe him, but all of his hope was shattered.

As All Might asked for One For All back, he gave it up willingly, knowing he couldn't change their minds.

Nezu showed a tape of "him" taking files from UA.

As he began to object, pointing out how his uniform was too dirty to be the one in the tape, his comments were ignored.

Nezu quickly interrupted him, stating how he would go to Tartarus, the most high-end prison in Japan.

Time Skip

He was flying in a helicopter, but he was still not happy knowing he would have to stay in prison for roughly a week.

How did he know? Well, he knew the ADA would come to get him after about a week.

Now all he had to do was wait...

Now that he thought about it, waiting was boring.

The helicopter finally landed, and two guards escorted him inside.

Villains were glancing at him, giving him looks that normal people couldn't decipher. However, Izuku knew exactly what they were feeling: pity. Something he hated.

As some glared at him for who knows what, Izuku just ignored them anyway.

He got pushed into a cell with a familiar face: Stain.

He was slightly frightened but then quickly calmed down, knowing he could use his physical prowess in case Stain decided to attack.

Stain suddenly snarled, "Why did the heroes arrest a real hero? What are they doing?"

Izuku took a trip down memory lane, remembering the day he met Stain.

A fight was being fought in a dim alleyway, and Izuku heard the clashing and sprang into action.

He knew he couldn't hold off Stain for very long.

Although he had one advantage: Stain doesn't hurt children. He would fight them but never at a hundred percent.

Stain snarled, stating that he doesn't hurt children and that Izuku should get away.

However, Izuku kept his ground and dodged Stain's attacks, knowing it could be fatal if he got hit.

Juggling fighting and holding a phone to call the police, he managed to pull through, and help arrived.

EraserHead hurried to the scene and was rather shocked that a boy around the age of 14 was handling the hero killer Stain.

He quickly hopped into the scene, seeing how the boy's dodging was getting slower.

EraserHead quickly threw the capture weapon; however, Stain dodged it.

Stain quickly unsheathed a blade, previously not using it because he was against a child.

The hero killer, not wasting any time, attempted to cut the scarf-like capture weapon in EraserHead's grasp.

However, EraserHead quickly retrieved it, leaving Stain to cut nothing.

They clashed at a high speed that the average human eye could not detect.

Izuku's eyes glimmered, seeing how much Stain was holding back during their ordeal.

Then he quickly shook himself out of it; he knew this wasn't the time for analysis.

EraserHead got a lucky shot; Stain was monologuing and wasn't paying full attention.

The hero killer quickly got tied in EraserHead's capture scarf.

As the hero checked up on him and deemed him uninjured, not letting Stain out of his peripheral vision.

The police came to get a quick statement from him.

As the hero left, the police began muttering about how a quirkless person was useless and didn't bother to call his parents.

At that, Izuku sighed a breath of relief that the police didn't see, of course.

At the ADA

Fukuzawa, the president of the Armed Detective Agency, was weighing the pros and cons of bringing Izuku back into UA.

Fukuzawa quickly decided against it as he wouldn't have a reason to break him out, and it would be suspicious to the villains why he got released.
