Who Am I?

Chapter 8

Izuku had been walking around, letting the whole world know that he was still alive. He already had a couple reporters come up to him and ask him questions. He always responded with "No comment."

"Deku!" Another reporter came up to him. "How are you dealing? How are you alive is a better question."

"I only have one thing to say. I lived bitch." He smirked then walked away.

"That was great." Someone who was right next to him laughed.

"Thanks." Izuku shrugged it off and kept his hands in his pockets."

"You used to be a villain right?" The person asked.

"Yeah. What does that have to do with anything?"

"Just, it was a real loss to the villain community once you and your husband left."

Izuku finally turned around and looked at the person. "Do I know you?"

"No, probably not. I'm the leader of another villain association. You might've heard of them in your villain days. Shie Hassaikai." The guy smiled. It wasn't an innocent smile but at the same time it wasn't a 'I'm going to kill you' smile.

It took a second for Izuku to process before he realized. "Overhaul?" He whisper yelled.

"That's me. Well, that's my villain name. My name is Kai Chisaki."

"What's up with all Kai's being evil?" Izuku groaned. "First Kaii, now you!"

"Sorry." He chuckled. "But, I just wanted to ask you one thing. Why become a hero? You, in my opinion, were one of the best villains, with your whole team. You were great."

"I wanted a family..." He mumbled.

"You could've had a family while being a villain. You were going to have that, before Shigaraki and All Might made that deal."

"I guess another reason is that I didn't want my kid to grow up in fear that one day his dads were going to be taken away. I didn't want Ren to grow up like that. Plus, I have a brother-in-law that I would've never had. And my best friend is also my brother-in-law-in-law...?"

"So your reasoning was family?"

"It was one of the reasons, but can we stop? This feels like I'm being interviewed for 'Villains turned Heroes Weekly' or something."

"Just one more question. Will you ever turn back into a villain?" Kai asked.

"It would be nice... I'm pretty sure Dabi would also like that... but we have kids and they are the most important people to us right now, and ever. Them getting to grow up well would be the best thing ever."

"Can I see your phone?" Kai held his hand out, waiting for the phone.

"Uh... sure?" Izuku pulled out his phone and placed it in the villains hand.

"Now, open it."

Izuku put in the passcode.

Kai went to messages and put in his number, sending a 'hi'. "Text me if you change your mind. We could always use more powerful villains like you. Or, if you just want to talk. I heard that's how you became a villain in the first place." He smirked and handed back the phone. As soon as Izuku put his phone back into his pocket, Kai had disappeared.

"Can you all shut the fuck up for five seconds, please?! I'm trying to think." Izuku yelled at all the heroes gathered in his living room.

Everyone shut up and looked at him. They were trying to come up with a reason as to why Junichiro hadn't attacked in at least 2 weeks. So far, they had three options. One, he was done fighting them. Two, he was planning a big attack. And three, he still needed to figure out what Izuku did to their system.

"I need time." He groaned and walked out of the living room and went to the gym in their house.

Daiki was about to get up but Shoto stopped him. "I'll go."

Izuku randomly laid on the floor and took deep breaths.

"Hey, Izuku."

"What do you want, Shoto?" Izuku rolled over so he was facing him.

"Why'd you snap at everyone?"

"I can't take it. I don't want to do this."

"Do what? Be a hero?" Shoto asked as he laid down on the floor with him.

Izuku hesitated before he nodded. "I just wanna be Izuku Todoroki-Midoriya. I just wanna be Izu... I don't want to be Hero Deku."

"Then don't."

"What? You know that would break Kacchan's heart if I become a villain again."

"I'm not saying be a villain. I'm saying be you. Be Izuku Todoroki-Midoriya. Take a break from all the hero stuff. Just be you. Go out and cause some trouble if you need to."

Izuku looked at Shoto. "But I can't do that. You know I can't. Not with that Junichiro guy still out there."

"We'll take care of him. Even Daiki is helping. Just do what you want. Come out and help us kick some villain ass if you need to."

Izuku laughed and sat up. "You really do know how to make a guy feel better."

Shoto sat up with him. "That's what brothers are for, isn't it?"

"Yeah. You should go back out. I'll be there in a second."

Shoto nodded and stood up. "Come back whenever you feel like it. You know we all love you and will accept you."

"Thanks. And," Izuku nodded. "I will."

Shoto left the room and went back to the living room.

Izuku got out his phone.

Izuku: heyy. its deku. can u tell me more abt your league?

Kai: ofc. meet me outside the sunbucks on idk street @ 8

Izuku: pm?

Kai: no dip sherlock

Izuku: w h a t

Izuku had been waiting outside the Sunbucks for around 20 minutes before Kai finally showed up.

Kai pulled up in a gray, not fancy but still fancy, sports car. "Get in loser. We're going shopping."

"Again. W h a t?" Izuku groaned but got in the car anyways.

"So, Izuku, welcome to the Shie Hassaikai base." Kai smirked.
