They'll Never Know

Chapter 11

Midoriya's POV

"Why are you doing this, Himiko?" Midoriya growled, hands clenched into fists. 

She walked up to him and laughed. He watched her fist close around a tube in her hand. The tube with his blood in it. He struggled against the restraints Magne created for him. She lifted the tube to her mouth and sucked the blood from inside. Midoriya gasped. In an instant, she looked exactly like him, wearing his green costume. 

"Where did you get that?!" Midoriya screamed and thrashed against his restraints. He wasn't planning on using One For All yet, that would be too risky. Midoriya watched in horror as Himiko, looking exactly like himself, leaned in closer to him, smiling slyly. He could see himself, blushing intensely. 

"This is why I'm doing this. I love you so much Izuku, I want to be you. And once I convince people that I'm the real deal, I'll make sure everyone knows that not all heroes are worth trusting. Sorry, I would tell you more, but I would rather not die today." 

Midoriya glared at her as she walked out of the bunker. 

The door is open, now's my chance, Midoriya thought. If I use my quirk to get out of the restraints, leaving should be easy. The hard part will be dealing with all of the villains outside of the room. But I'll use One For All and that will hopefully back them away just in time for me to escape!

He lowered his head. Imagine the egg not breaking in the microwave. "TEXAS SMASH!!"  

Midoriya ripped apart the restraints and flew towards the bunker door. "One For All, Full Cowling!!" 

Flashes of green lightning bathed Midoriya's body as he jumped through the door and into the air. He looked down to see the entire hideout. He busted right through the roof. It was dark all around him. 

It's night now...I wonder what the date is, Midoriya thought, his emerald eyes darting around the area. Now I have a better understanding of where I am, which will make it easier for me to escape. 

The whole terrain was a forest. Around him, large pine trees surrounded the building, the L.O.V. hideout. It was pretty run down, and with the hole Midoriya made while breaking through the roof, it seemed even more. But as he flew into the air still, he could see all the villains from the inside of the hideout, Himiko, Shigaraki, Kurogiri, Magne, Dabi, and the others staring at him through the roof. They didn't look surprised, it was as if they expected this to happen.

Wait...is this a tra- 

Midoriya's thoughts were interrupted when he slammed into something really hard, causing him to stop using his quirk. In a second, he knew he was falling but there wasn't much he could do in the situation. He managed to use his fist to take the blow on the ground, sparing the rest of his body. "SMASH!!!" His fist connected with the pavement outside of the building and the whole ground blew up. 

Midoriya groaned, lifting himself up. He was laying on a dent in the pavement, the dent his fist caused which had smoke rising from it. He stood up, shakily. Midoriya looked at his arm. Crap, he thought, I need to leave now. Before he could run, he heard a voice that made his skin crawl. 

"Take one more step, and your whole body will crumble in less than a minute. Midoriya growled, It was Shigaraki, that son of a bitch. He wrapped four of his fingers around Midoriya's neck, pulling him closer. "I'm actually impressed, Izuku Midoriya. I was correct this whole time...You are the person All Might transferred his powers to."

Midoriya froze. H-How...How did he know? 

"Oh, Izuku. You think I didn't know? I'm Nana Shimura's grandson, of course I knew about your quirk. Or should I say my grandmother's quirk." Beads of sweat had started trailing down Midoriya's skin. Shigaraki pulled Midoriya by the throat back into the hideout. "Nice try, Izuku. But we were well prepared and we're just getting started." 

He was too shocked to do anything as Shigaraki locked his wrists in even stronger restraints and threw him back in the room. Midoriya fell on the cold, hard ground. Tears were streaming out of his eyes and he held back choked sobs. 

What's going to happen to my friends, to UA? Will things ever even go back to normal? Midoriya looked up at the camera with so much hate in his teary eyes. 

"Just kill me. Kill me and leave UA alone," he said weakly.

Shigaraki laughed, "Don't worry, we'll kill you soon. But first, Himiko is going to attend UA as you and take care of your friends. They'll all think it's actually you, so word will spread and people will believe that heroes are not worth trusting. UA will be done for, and there will be no more heroes in this life." 

Midoriya bit his lip to hold back more sobs. He was useless. With his arm like that, he would barely even make outside of the bunker before collapsing. The most he could do was wait for his body to heal a little before using it again. He kicked the door. 

"Let me go!" His shoulders shook as he cried. 

He thought about all his friends, who would soon believe that Midoriya had become a villain. Himiko wasn't dumb, she wasn't going to let people find out so easily. And with all the villains, they probably figured out his backstory too. 

He thought about Todoroki, about their sweet kiss. And how he'd never be able to feel those lips against his again.

He crumpled to the ground, longing for that feeling of safety and warmth in his embrace. Midoriya was strong, but taking on so many villains at once was a suicide mission. The smart thing to do was wait and find out more information about the League of Villan's plans. They were stupid to tell Midoriya all about Himiko's plan, he was determined to escape.

Himiko's POV

"Himiko, you better not ruin this for us," Shigaraki said as he handed Himiko the bottle of Midoriya's blood. "Keep this safe, don't let anyone see it ever. And keep us informed of what goes on in UA. Also, leave no strange evidence around-"

"Shut up, Shigaraki," Dabi cut in, "She's not an idiot, like you." Himiko, (as Midoriya) smiled at Dabi. 

"Thanks, Dab." 

Shigaraki rolled his eyes and groaned, "GO!" 

Himiko walked through the portal that led back into UA. It was early morning, around 5 or 6. The portal closed, leaving Himiko alone in Midoriya's dorm room. She wrapped the bottle of blood in her jacket and put it in the closet. She thought about her old disguise, Himari. What was she going to do about her disappearance? They were going to search for her if they found out she was missing. 

"Wait...I think I still have some of that little girl's blood in here," she squealed as she took out a bottle from her jacket. "I'll just disguise myself as her and then drop out of UA, that way they won't know a thing!" 

Himiko stood there, in the solace of Midoriya's dimly lit room, laughing.

A/N: This chapter took longer than I expected, sorry! Please let me know if I am not describing something well enough. I'm trying to write out what I'm thinking, but I don't know if I'm describing it well.
