Reparations

A Killer's past

He dropped.

He started falling but then felt a harsh sudden stop mid-air, he looked up, Erasure Head was holding him up with his scarf straining as Allmight helps him keep his balance.

He looks ahead of him and giggles, Bakugo's class. He waves in a friendly manner before he starts swinging. The teacher, Midnight, looked at the boy with concern as she walked towards the window instructing the class to go to the other side of the room.

He gave a final swing and smashed through the window, the scarf slips away not being long enough. He ducks and rolls onto the classroom floor bleeding from the scratching earlier and the broken glass of the window. He was covered in the crimson substance's stains.

Midnight rushes over to restrain him as she grabs his wrist pulling it behind his back placing a knee on his back. Izuku sighed in effort as he caught his breath from his recent life or death ordeal.

He looks up smiling, "Hi Kacchan~"

He glares at him walking over, Midnight shouts for him to go back to the class but he ignores her as he crouched by his head, "You're scum."

He kicks his head with a harsh impact as Midnight pushes him back by force as Izuku howls in thrill and excitement, "Whoooo! What a rush...you're giving me flashbacks Kacchan."

He clicks his tongue and glares at him as blood drips from his head onto the floor.

Iida called out angrily, "Bakugo! That's not very heroic!"

Bakugo glared at him as the class shouted objections at him, Izuku realised how distracted Midnight was and slowly used his other hand to pull the scalpel from before out of his pocket. He plunged the blade into her leg making her squeal a little as she holds the wound by instinct.

Izuku pushed her off of him and stood up smirking with his bloodied blade, Midnight glared, "Stand down boy!"

He chuckled to himself before licking his lips and replying, "No. You."

He quickly grabbed the arm of a girl and spun her in front of him holding the blade to her neck, "Back up, or the bitch bleeds."

Midnight glares with one leg off the ground a little before stepping back a  wincing at the pain, Izuku leaned in and whispered in her ear, "What's your quirk?"

"G-G-Gravity...I c-can make things f-float."

"So, what I'm hearing...is you can float us both safely to the ground out of that window?"

She swallows heavily, "W-Well...yeah..."

He smirks, "Good. Let's go."

He breaks their whispering conversation before shouting hurting her ears, "I'm leaving. With this girl. And you won't go after me because if you do. My kill count goes up to 5."

They all raise their hands a little as he sidesteps towards the window, he tightens his grip around her arm and growls into her neck, "Do it."

She engages her quirk allowing them to float down to safety.

Izuku stabilises himself and walks towards the gate with the girl, all heroes knew not to give chase or they wouldn't have a kidnapped student, they'd have a dead one.

He reached the gates threatening the gate guard as he let them through, he stopped, "I'm gonna take the knife away and you're going to hold my hand if you do anything...I'll aim for the throat."

"O-okay..."

He takes her hand and holds the blade in the other, they walk through the streets looking pretty normal besides the blood. He reaches a building and goes to enter but feels a resistance, Uraraka stood still frozen in fear. He groaned but it couldn't be helped.

He took her hands and spoke, "Calm down, they aren't here."

He leads her inside and releases her hands locking the doors, "Try anything...and you already know the rest."

The building looked pretty normal, like an average apartment.

He enters a room and leaves with a burner phone, he dials a number and waits, "It's Karma."

"Yeah...okay...I also have a hostage."

She hears loud inaudible shouting from the phone and begins trembling.

"Calm your ass down! It's just..." He holds the phone to his chest, "What's your name again?"

"Uraraka..."

"It's just Uraraka! Only a first-year yeah...fine."

He ends the call and looks over, "Get comfy. They're going to be a while."

He leaves her unsupervised which completely confused her...was he that confident she wouldn't find a way out. He sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, he reached into a cabinet beside him and took a swig from a bottle that was obviously alcohol.

"Y-You shouldn't do that..."

He looks over at the girl who had entered the living room, "And why's that?"

"It's bad for you...and you have a bad liver..."

"So?... What's my liver got to do with you or drinking?"

"W-Well..the liver is what helps filter alcohol and bad chemicals...if you drink it can kill your liver then you'll die. Weren't you ever taught about the dangers of drinking in school?..."

"No. I was usually skipping class, crying or hiding."

She looked up confused, "Why did you hide?"

"Kacchan."

"Y-You mean Bakugo?..."

"Yeah, him and his little goons."

"Why did you hide from him?"

He sighs lifting his shirt showing multiple scars and burn marks.

"Oh my god...Bakugo did that?"

"He's not the nice guy with anger issues you think he is..."He looks up at the ceiling thoughtfully, "He's a demon."

After a while, Uraraka slowly creeps over until she's on the other end of the sofa watching the TV. Uraraka started to feel tired, she felt like she'd fall asleep at any moment but then she saw her kidnapper...asleep.

She slowly stood up and holding her breath she looked around him for the key or phone he was using.

She sees the phone beside him and slowly reaches for it, her finger just about touches it when she hears him mumble in his sleep, "Dad..."

Uraraka froze in place, she suddenly felt immensely sympathetic towards this young murderer. She hated herself for it but she was a compassionate person.

He rolls over a little covering access to the phone as Uraraka sighs standing up fully. She decides to look around the unfamiliar area, she approached a bedroom and found it was a young boy's room. There was Allmight...everywhere. "Is this every Allmight product ever produced?"

She looked around in astonishment, she found a bookshelf and found multiple notebooks full of information about heroes and quirks, they were pretty good as well.

She looked at the name on the back, 'Izuku Midoriya', "Is Midoriya a villain too? Could he be Karma's younger brother?"

She continued looking and found a picture frame, inside was a picture of a young green-haired boy smiling widely holding an Allmight action figure being hugged tightly by a woman with shoulder-length green hair.

She looked under the Allmight bed and found boxes of Allmight merchandise along with...a camera?

She turned it on and sat leaning against the bed looking through the videos, the first was a young woman from before holding a baby and singing happy birthday, the next few were celebrations or cute family moments.

Then she came across a video that must have been recorded on accident.
