Change of Heart (IzuToga)

Chapter 12.5-F*ck Dabi

There is a small scene of slight gore after the transition.

The scorch mark from Dabi's flames, was already growing larger. And it seemed like Izuku was in pain, "don't worry 'Zuku." Toga sounded desperate, was he truly going to die....Well, the answer to that is no. Toga twisted her head around, laying there should've been Dabi, but had miraculously vanished. "Fuck." She cursed the Bastard for doing this to her true love, the only one who could ever understand her. "There should be something upstairs to help," she turned her attention back to the unconscious Izuku. "Don't worry, I'll have you fixed up in a jiffy, just give me a minute." And with that she bolted off to the second floor to the building, which is where Dabi's room was. She climbed the stairs nearly falling on her face halfway up, and when she got to the door she found it to be locked. So Toga braced herself after taking a few steps back and slammed her body into the decrepit door, busting it down in an instant. She fell onto the ground of the room, there were words scribbled all over the walls as well as a few scorch marks from what should've been his quirk. She placed her palms on the ground and pushed herself up, Where is it? Was the only question that rang in her mind as she tore the room apart, she had remembered Dabi showing "it" to her once before, but it wasn't where he left it. She collapsed in the center of the room after searching for ten minutes, everything was either torn down or had fallen over due to her. She stared blankly at a wall as thoughts of Izuku dying flooded her mind....but she noticed something. Something, was wrong with the wall. The paint was chipped and it looked like there was something black in it.

She stood up amongst the chaos that she created and walked towards the wall, What's wrong with this wall? When she touched the wall, all the paint chipped away to reveal a hole that contained a box. It looked ancient, and as it touched the light she could see how messed up it was. There were dents, burns, and even cuts on the outer shell of it. She grabbed the latch and opened the box, and there they were. Two syringes filled with a black liquid. The liquid wasn't a cure to what was killing Izuku, but it slowed it down and dulled the pain. Too bad she only had half a dose, so it wouldn't last too long for him, maybe a week if she remembered properly. She closed the box and ran back to Izuku with it, as she ran past the entrance to the building she could see that Dabi still wasn't there, he had somehow disappeared, along with the cure for Izuku. She set the box in front of Izuku, the effects of his quirk had spread even further which was nearly to his neck. She opened the box and took out the syringes, "sorry Izuku," she tightened her grip around one, and slammed it into his chest. "This'll hurt!" She injected one after another, successfully staving off the spread of Dabi's quirk....but for how long?

She picked Izuku up and placed him on her back, fully knowing that Villains would come by soon if they already weren't outside. But he weighed a ton, though it was mostly muscle and because of his height. Toga took a step and nearly fell as his weight buckled onto her. She continued to walk, each step was prolonged. Her legs felt as if they were covered with lead. Regardless, she was determined to bring him to safety, to bring him towards home. She took a step into the crisp, and fresh air of the outdoors. She now realized that the building she grew up, had a faint scent of death within its walls. Despite how much she trusted Dabi, how much she treated him like a brother, like family. No matter how close they were, he still had betrayed her. Tried to kill her. He was truly evil. If it's for Izuku, I'll do anything...even if that means I have to kill you brother her feet were giving out from beneath her. The struggle to walk with Izuku proved to be too much for her body.

Toga fell onto her knees. She stared up at the stars, they were cruel and merciless for not granting her wishes as a child. And now was because they didn't stop Izuku from being mortally injured, which she had also wished for. "No." Her fist slammed into the pavement of the sidewalk. "I won't give up." Her body tensed. "I have to get up," her foot touched the ground. "I have to keep going...for you." Her voice trailed off as she ignored the pain exuding from her muscles. The aching roar of her muscles louder her mind, but she let no thoughts of giving in to it take over her mind. The only thought that was in control, was Izuku. The only one who could make her happy, was Izuku. The only one whom she could protect right now, was Izuku. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. The words that pulsed within her head got louder the more exhausted she got. Keep going. Keep Going. Keep going! Keep Going!! KEEP GOING!!!
