In His Eyes

~VI~

"Well young lad, how did you get yourself into this situation?" Asked All Might, coming to his senses.

"W-w-well I was walking home trying to avoid crowded areas and then this voice st-started speaking. He was above me, then next to me trying to take over my b-body." Izuku said, explaining his best. He remembered everything to the detail, the problem was putting it into words. 'Stupid stuttering'

"Thank you, but now I must be off! Have to get this Villain to the police!" All Might said with a mighty smile, secretly wanting to get away and back to Tsukauchi. He had to tell his dear friend what had happened. "Great job fighting him off by the way!!"

That smile seemed to give Izuku some much needed hope.

"All Might," he said before the great hero was about to fly away, "can I be a hero, even if i'm quirkless?"

All Might turned him and gave a blunt answer, "NO."

~In Izuku's POV~

'no...."

'No..."

'NO.."

Not even the number one hero believes in me. I'm quirkless and that will never change. Still there's no use in dwelling on it, might as well go home and find another career. My hero notes might be able to qualify me for a quirk doctor or something like that.

"Original POV"

All Might took off after giving the young boy his answer. Not even glancing back.

Midoriya began walking home minutes after having his hope shattered.  His feet following slowly behind in grief.

(Tiny Time Skip #3)

Izuku walked past a crowd of people, and naturally wondering what caused the crowd, he came close to the center.

"Kacchan?"

The blond boy was struggling in the middle of the alley, a dark, familiar goop entangling him. Bakugou tried to escape, but his explosions only made it worse.  The sludge villain was using them to create collateral damage. But if he stopped using his quirk stopped then the sludge would only consume him faster.

'He's screwed.'

Midoriya was about to leave, when he got a glimpse of the bully's face, he looked terrified and was crying. All of the desperation was visible, and for a brief moment, Izuku thought he was seeing himself.

"I'M COMING" he screamed, running through the crowd despite the hero's protests. As he approached the Sludge he slowed down, taking up a walking pace instead. His mind traveling through the possibilities, thinking about what to do, Midoriya stopped right in front of the villain.

"It's you again! You little wretch, you got me caught!"

'Good, he remembers me. That could work in my favor.'

"You'll pay for that, but first, let's have a little more fun with the blond, shall we?"

The sludge was looking to intimidate the young boy, threatening him with the explosions every second. Even sending some explosions after him.  'Little shit isn't moving, fine, be that way. Let's see you stand still after this one.'

The villain raised Bakugou's hand and what created what could've been a bomb, and when the fog cleared,
the freckled boy was still there. He didn't know that Izuku was used to these explosions.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!! That would've killed anyone!!" He screamed.

"To answer your question," began Izuku, "everything, is wrong with me."

The people in the crowd were shocked and confused. What was this child doing? How was he still standing? They could feel the heat from the back row, and it was scorching. So how did this child stand not just 5 feet from it. And what was he taking about? What does everything mean? The media was going crazy, getting every last bit. They ravaged when small teen lifted his head. Eyes closed and smiling.

Back in the alley, the sludge villain tried to create more explosions, but they were weak. "Kacchan's explosions may be effective, but they depend on his sweat. And if the temperature lowered, then so would the explosions. You are absorbing his sweat, leaving none for his quirk to use. And now his hand looks like it has been sprained, that's not very good. He might as well be quirkless right now." Izuku said in a thoughtful tone. The villain dropped Bakugou after seeing that he would be useless.  Izuku walked over a dragged Katsuki to the side. "Katsuki, I politely ask that you close your eyes, and cover your ears."

Bakugou obeyed, which was a shock to himself. He did, however, keep one eye cracked open half way.

As soon as Izuku saw Bakugou out of the way, his attention returned to the villain, who was sitting there confused. "Now turn yourself in villain, I don't want to have to take unnecessary measures."

"Who do you think, bossing me around like that you little pipsqueak! If I can't use his body, then I'll use yours!" The villain shouted.

"No, you wont, and head up. It's rather rude to look down when someone is trying to talk to you."

The villain looked at Izuku questioningly, and Izuku gave a knowing look.

Bakugou saw Izuku's eyes open, and discovered that they weren't the usual emerald green, but instead they were a garnet like color. He watched as Izuku made eye contact with the villain that had tried to kill them both. And as soon as yellow met red, the villain screamed.

Izuku stood above the villain, who was shifting back into what looked like a terrified man, face blank of every emotion as if he was bored. A song tumbled out of his mouth in a sweet rhythm.

"Three blind mice.
Three blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run.
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife, Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?"

And with that it was nearly over.
