Subject 1-A: Midoriya, Izuku (Villain Deku)

11-Failure

I stared at the test that was just handed back to me. I couldn't believe the grade that I was given and the note See me after class with two lines under it.

My world was falling out from under me. I couldn't do this anymore. Why was so much expected from me? Why was the world making sure everything I did ended up a failure?

I went up to Ectoplasm after class. "Is everything okay, Midoriya? In the hero course, you were in the top 10 of your class, but now your right at the bottom. Is something bothering you?"

"I guess I'm still recovering. Don't worry, I'll try super hard to get my grades back up for the nest test." A fake smile along with the lie. I didn't like the way I was living. I wanted out. I wanted to crawl into bed and never cone out again. I didn't want to face the world, and least of all, my former classmates. It was lunch, and I was dreading it. Not only did I hate the sight of food, but the sight of Uraraka and Iida was worse. They smiled at me and talked to me, but it was getting on my nerves.

I dragged myself to lunch and sat by my friends. Things started off normal, but it wasn't long before they noticed that I wasn't touching my food.

"Is everything alright, Deku?" Uraraka asked, seeming genuinely concerned.

"Have you been eating, Midoriya?" Iida asked. "You're looking a bit sick."

"I'm fine," I said, even though it was painfully obvious that something was wrong. My friends stopped eating and looked at me, as if inspecting a science experiment. It made me very uncomfortable. It was almost like they were reading my thoughts and knew how much I wasn't fine.

I stood up suddenly to leave. "Deku?"

"I-I need some air...I'll catch up with you guys later."

I rushed out of the lunchroom to the doors that lead to outside. I was breathing heavily, but I kept running. I wasn't watching where I was going, until I smacking into something. I looked up to see that 'something' had been Todoroki. "S-sorry, Todoroki-kun..."

A wide smile spread across his lips. Now that wasn't like him at all. I suddenly froze, knowing something was definitely wrong here. I backed up slowly, but he grabbed me by the tie. "Hello, little Izuku!"

My eyes widened. The only one who ever called me that was...

"Did you miss me?" Toga said with a smile, keeping her Todoroki guise on since other students were around us.

"H-how did you..." My heart was racing a million miles a minute.

She held up Todoroki's Student ID badge. "We figured out how to sneak into UA when we uses this trick with you. We planted your old ID in your costume so the alarms wouldn't go off.

"But...how did you get..."

A wicked smile stretched across the mimic's face. "Little Shouto had to miss class today. He had a nasty head cold."

I was starting to hyperventilate. I thought I was safe. I thought that the business with the villains were all behind me. Now here was one if my tormentors, coming to either kill me or take me back. "L-Let go! I'm useless to you now!"

"Useless?" Toga asked. Then, a smile ripped across Todoroki's face. "Never, little Izuku. You're more valuable to us then ever before. Your going to be our little spy. Your going to help us take down the new generation of heroes. And if you refuse...let's just say that we know where you live. We have access to where your classmates live. We know about All Might and his diminishing power." Her hand tightened on my tie. "And we know how to kill them all."

I felt tears building up. "Please don't make me." My voice was barely a whisper. "I don't want to...I don't want-"

Smack!

"No one cares! All we care about, is how you do your job. If you want proof, we'll come to your house tonight and we'll be wanting some information." She dropped me and I fell backwards, quickly crawling away from her as fast as I could. She grabbed a fist full of my hair. "And no excuses."

I sat in shock for a few seconds before everything clicked. That was Toga. She morphed herself into Todoroki, which means she got his blood somehow. The League of Villains wanted me back, this time as a spy. I had just been dropped into hell once again.

Once I was done processing the information, I screamed. I didn't want to go back. They would hurt me. They would hurt my friends. They knew where I lived. My mom....they could kill my mom.

The next thing I knew, I was waking up on a bed in the UA Nurse's Office. Uraraka and Iida were above me. "Is he waking up?"

"Deku? Can you hear me?"

I nodded slightly, unsure of what had happened. Then it hit me. I shot up in bed. "Toga!"

"Midoriya! Calm down!" Iida was forcing me to lie down. "We found you having a panic attack. Was it triggered by a memory?"

"It was-" I suddenly stopped. They knew where my mom lived. "J-just a daydream...I'm okay now."

"Have you been getting enough sleep, Deku?" Uraraka asked, concern obvious in her eyes.

I shook my head. "M-my nightmares have been keeping me up, sometimes." I hoped that last bit would make it seem like less of a deal.

"If they're really that bad, you should have come and talk to me," Recovery Girl shoved a small bag of pills into my hands. "These will help you fall into a deeper and hopefully dreamless sleep. If your having any other problems, feel free to talk to me.

I nodded and thanked her before leaving school for the day. Uraraka walked me home, since Iida was busy with family stuff that night.

"I guess I'll see you around, Deku." Uraraka said with a smile.

I returned it. "Thanks. You too."

"Are you sure your really okay? I mean, a panic attack is kind o a big deal, isn't it?"

I shrugged. "I've had worse."

We stood in an awkward silence before I waved to her. "W-well thanks a bunch, Uraraka. I'll see you at school."

"Yup! Later, Deku!"

I knew my lie was becoming apparent and that it would soon shatter one day so that everyone could see my real emotions. I wasn't ready for that just yet. I wanted to stay in this shell where everything was kept secret and no one would see the truth.

The lie I was living was getting old, very fast.

Wow, I'm finally moving the plot forward!

Hopefully this isn't getting too boring.

Also, I know Toga seems real out of character here (I just realized that's what ooc stands for...stupid) but I didn't feel like rewriting it

Remember, I might spoil the manga later (not like that hasn't happened yet) so don't read if you haven't caught up!
