Change of Heart (IzuToga)

Chapter 16~The League of Villains Will End

Everything has an ending. And I have to sadly say...that this one will be sad when the time comes. And it will hopefully be my best work. I already have a plan for when it will happen, how it will happen, and what happens afterward. So, I apologize in advance if it isn't what you think it would be. Also, how am I number one in The Toga tag when there are much better stories (scroll past Orion)? Regardless let's get into the story, shall we?

"What the hell do you mean Izuku? You think Shigaraki...can take quirks...?" Aizawa's brow furrowed as he tried to wrap his head around Izuku's words. "Yea, basically. If you really think about it, why would All for One just let himself die. The fight that I had with him was fairly easy, plus, he wouldn't have just died without passing his quirk on to his successor, which was Shigaraki. He would never let his bloodline die off with him, he'd want to pass on his quirk and let it live on...kinda like how he gave me this one." Izuku stared straight ahead at Mirio, who was standing triumphantly above the rest of the students. Tears slowly streamed out of his eyes, "I never even wanted this quirk. I just wanted to live a normal, happy life with my mother, but no, I just had to kill her and be labeled a villain because of it..." Izuku lowered his head into the crook of his knees and silently cried.

"There, there kid, its alright. Everything's gonna be just alright..." he placed his hand on the back of Izuku's head and slowly rubbed it gently. Izuku hated AfO, just why would he ruin his son's future, what were his ulterior motives? Did he plan something with a quirk that could see into the future? Or did he hope that Izuku would become a villain because of the world around him and how they treated outcasts such as himself? Regardless of the torrent of painful thoughts going through Izuku's head, he felt at peace because of his should be "father," Aizawa. Which he wasn't, it didn't bother Izuku because he felt as if Aizawa was already a father to him because of their past. "Why does everything in my life have to be so fucked up?" Izuku asked as a wave of despair washed over him. "Shit, I'm so sorry for what I've put you through Izuku...it was my fault in the first place that you even became a hero."

..................

A little four year old was sitting in the corner of a black, cloth couch away from a man clad in black as he shuddered in fear. "C'mon kid, it's alright. Just come over here." The man had a cloth around his neck, "No! I want to see my mom!" The man stood in place, his fist clenched at his side, "Just let me go mister!" "Y-You can't right now. She went to sleep and just before that, she placed you within my care." "I won't trust you!" The kid yelled as he tried to burrow further into the couch. The man sighed and walked towards the boy, he knelt down in front of him. "Izuku. Look at me." He gulped as the boy peered at him, "Are you sure you wouldn't trust your father?" A bead of sweat rolled down his face, he didn't think it would work whatsoever...but it did...somewhat. "Then why aren't there pictures of you at home?!" "Ahh, uhhh because I'm a hero Izuku. And I told your mother that she would be targeted because of me..." Izuku slowly moved away from the corner and turned to face the man. "Really!?" He asked with bright stars in his eyes, the man nodded. "I'm the pro hero Eraserhead, and I'm going to be taking care of you for as long as mom rests." Aizawa sighed before opening up his arms, "Now come give your father a hug." Izuku hesitated for a moment, "Trust me, I don't bite Izu." Izuku smiles before jumping into Aizawa's arms, 'Just how long until the boy catches onto my lie?' 

It took a few months of living in that apartment for Izuku to become adjusted to his new life with Eraserhead...well, he wasn't around often. He believed that the kid could be fine on his own and usually went on patrols until the latest hours in the day. He'd walk into his apartment and fall asleep on the couch, he was too lazy to make it to his bed, which was actually closer than the couch. One day, he came home earlier than usual, around 8 PM because of his co-workers urging him to spend time with his new child and be a proper care taker for him. "Izuku! I'm home early!" He shouted into the apartment, a tiny hand gripped his pant leg and tugged on it. Aizawa looked down only to be greeted by Izuku...with a cat on his head. There was a black spot around his left eye, and his skin was a mixed white and gray. His fur looked as if it was just cleaned with water and then dried, because it looked fairly poofy."I made a new friend today, dad! I'd like for you to meet Sir Blade!" Aizawa put a hand on his face and took a deep breath, "Did you bring a stray cat into our apartment?" He said sternly.
