Villain or Hero...?

Chapter 12: Villains are bad, aren't they?

"Kurogiri, who is it?! I want to stay with Izuku!" argued Hisashi and thank god nobody saw him throwing a tantrum except for Kurogiri. It would destroy his good reputation.

Kurogiri sighed. "Inko," was his only answer. Hisashi's eyes widenened drastically.

"What is she doing here?! In the headquarters at that! I told her to never come here! I mean, nobody is here because I'm here and you probably just kicked them out of the bar yesterday, but... it's too risky! What do you think would happen if Izuku saw her? Would he be happy? Mad? Sad? Disappointed? Everything? We should–"

"Hisashi, please, calm down." interrupted Kurogiri Hisashi's rambling and successfully shut him up.

"She's here now and I couldn't get here to leave, you must handle this alone. And calm." advised Kurogiri and they both now stood in front of the door which led into the bar. "Call me if you want me to open a warp gate for her"

Hisashi went into the bar alone. Totally unprepared.

And there she was, Midoriya Inko and the signature of the Midoriya family – green hair.

Sometimes Hisashi cursed the Midoriya's for their green hair and that Izuku got them. But he couldn't possibly curse his sweet Izuku now, could he?

"I-Inko! Hi!" Hisashi answered and inwardly facepalmed. Smooth.

"Hisashi! Where is Izuku?! I want to see him now! Bring me to him right this instant," replied Inko impatient. "I haven't seen him for eight years, I have a right to see him! I'm his mother after all!"

Hisashi got mad. "Why do you even care?!"

That surprised Inko and she blinked. "Why shouldn't I care? I'm his mother–"

"Oh my god, Inko, the whole time we wrote – and Izuku wasn't allowed to even see this – and now you want to see him? After eight years?"

"You were the one who didn't want Izuku to see me for whatever reason!"

"Inko, do you even listen? I said all those years ago that Izuku should live with me, because you're so busy, I could protect him better and you would be in even more danger than you already are if you would somehow get associated with me! I never said you weren't allowed to see him! That's bullshit! Even so, you didn't even try to get to know him, I don't know, meet him secretly after school or something like that, am I right?"

Inko looked down at the ground. "I-I'm sorry," apologized Inko truthfully and then looked up again with an annoyed look in her eyes. "But you know very well that I can protect myself"

Izuku was a killer. He killed two men 'without batting an eye'. He had killed them. A villain who took him hostage and someone who was probably a hero before Izuku ended his life. Was that what his father and friends did everyday? Killing people without feeling regret? Well, the prove were the stories from the villains.. and the difference between him and them was that Izuku didn't even know he would kill them. And at least he felt regret. Once again, the villains were on his bad side. Alright, he couldn't hate his friends, but the others that he didn't know in the League.. But how could they do that? They did that over years, so maybe they got used to it. He knew that some villains were good at heart like Jishin but most of them were just heartless. Some had a reason why they were villains. Shigaraki, for example, to take revenge on the heroes in general, who wouldn't help him when he needed them. Beast did what he did because he hated his father, but what had his father done? Something bad, that's for sure. But every villain – are they good or bad – had something in common.

What, you ask? He repeated himself, but that they got probably so used to killing and they either hold a grudge against the heroes – basically everyone –, don't care or in Akane's case enjoy it for whatever reason. Is there a reason behind her sadistic side?

Now he wanted to know why the others were villains, great.

"Hey, Izukun?" asked Akane and came into the room. Speaking of the devil.

"What is it?"

"How are you feeling? You're pretty distressed, what's wrong?"

Oh, nothing, just having an inner crisis.

Sometimes it was creepy that Akane could read his feelings like an open book. Izuku couldn't tell her what happened, right?

Well, he could, if he let out some details.

"I killed two men without me even knowing it," answered Izuku. That was pretty much the summary, wasn't it?

Akane was quiet for a moment, her face giving nothing away. Then her eyes turned sad. "I'm sorry," said Akane and Izuku totally didn't expect her to apologize. "Someone your age shouldn't be in the hands of villains"

Would she have said something different if she knew who his father was? And she didn't ask why the fuck he killed two men? And how that would be possible without him knowing that he would kill them? Maybe she thought that it had something to do with his quirk – and she didn't know what it was – going rampage or something.

"Alright," she said with a sigh. "I need to go now, just wanted to look what was wrong with you"

"Oh, thanks.." thanked Izuku her embarrassed. When Akane turned to leave, what could be described better as volatile, Izuku spoke up. "Oh, umm.. I don't know if I'm going to guess that right... but... are you afraid?" asked Izuku and quirked an eyebrow. When was the last time he saw her scared? It was two days ago when she went into too much detail in one of her stories and was scolded by Kurogiri for that because Izuku was present.

"What? I? Scared? Nooooo," she nervously laughed and turned to Izuku. "Why should I be scared? Totally not because I basically went against Kurogiri's and Sensei's orders for not being allowed to be here and–"

Was he like this when he mumbled?

"Well anyway," she stopped her rambling and turned to leave again. "Gotta go now!" And off she was.

Izuku blinked at the spot where Akane once stood. Wait, did she just say that she went against their orders? Was Akane the only one who wasn't allowed to be here today? That wouldn't make much sense though. Oh, was it because of this mysterious visitor who wanted to speak with his father?

But the more important fact: She went against Kurogiri's and his father's orders.

"I hope you're going to survive," deadpanned Izuku.

He wished her the best of luck.
