-Your Kid Kaizen (Vigilante Deku)

Chapter Fourteen

Kaizen's POV

As soon as my eyes were open again I was faced with the color red. It was like I just walked into a red smoke bomb. Blinking a few times in surprise and confusion before realizing it was Hawks I was making glitch. Once I backed away from the pro his image started forming piece by piece. It was only when the pro had fully developed, could I actually see what this vision was about. "Hawks! You must try harder!! If you wish to help the commission in achieving the perfect hero you must actually try!" My head immediately snapped in the direction of the voice. Across the room was a very angry looking woman she had a large ruler looking thing in her hands as she walked over to Hawks. My stomach almost fell all the way to the floor, as dread crawled its way into me. Turning around to look back at Hawks I finally realized what this vision was, it was Hawk's past. He looked younger maybe 19 or 20 years old... interesting. Humming to myself as I thought it over. So I'm about 5 to 6 years in the past. My eyes narrowed at the angry looking woman as she approached Hawks. I had a suspicion as to why I was being shown this, but god did I hope I was wrong.

A sudden loud noise almost made me jump which is not an easy thing to do. The grumpy woman had slapped her metal roller hard on the ground as she yelled at Hawks to continue his 'Training' more like Torture. I winced in sympathy for the pro hero before making a beeline for the door. Mind now focused on my new goal. Taking down the commission, step 1: information gathering...

Izuku's POV

Anxious is a feeling I'm very familiar with, many people describe this feeling as unease, concern or even fear. But what I accompany with that word is something a little more complex. I've always been an anxious person and I may have gotten a lot better as the years without a parent's guidance or love went on.

As I sat down on that rooftop waiting for the Dad-tective to arrive. Would he actually come or would he decide I wasn't worth it? Would he be mad at me for running off? Would he leave like that sorry excuse of a human being Inko? When she showed her true colors I was disappointed beyond words. I pushed my emotions away as a result.

Deeply burying my sadness, loneliness, and even my anger busying myself with missions. And when that didn't work I would pull pranks trying to convince myself I didn't need a loving home. Even on nights when I would get back from missions at midnight bleeding from cuts or bruises larger than my head. I tried convincing myself I didn't need a loving mother or father worryingly awaiting my arrival. But l'm also no fool I was very well aware each time I came back to that apartment only to be met with a quiet, dark,empty place. Something in me broke.

Every single time I came back to Inko's apartment bloody and beaten. Whether it was from my vigilante activities or from Aldera. Sometimes I would stare at the empty dark apartment for hours lost in thought. I shook my head trying to shake off the flashback threatening to make me relive that horrible day.

"My thoughts were rushing in my head as I walked up the stairs of an apartment complex. Closing my eyes for a moment to make sure my quirk wouldn't go haywire again. I can't lose control now not after I finally got a Vision of my own World.". I made every excuse I could think of to justify her actions. 'Maybe she is just really busy... yeah that's probably it' or 'She works really hard, and Mom is just probably really tired... she didn't mean to ignore me' 'she doesn't have to be here every day... I can take care of myself I'm not 9 anymore. I'm a big boy... right? Right' Now that I think back on it. I was just making excuses to justify every action of neglect. A ten year old taking care of himself and surviving on the 20 dollars Inko left on the counter on random days. It hurts that it took a Vision to finally slap me into the reality of the situation. I can practically hear her laugh echoing in my ears now.
