As there was a commotion in the distance, the three heads turned (Bakugou pulling away from Midoriya.)

They stared for a minute and Izuku was the first to run off. "Shit.." he mumbled.

"Deku wait!," Bakugou called out and ran, quickly followed by Kirishima.

As they came into range of the fight again, All Might was front and center fighting a nomu. Izuku gritted his teeth in a grin, All Might was struggling. As the two boys caught up to him they could only stare, Midoriya barely noticed their presence.

He strolled over to where Shigaraki was observing the fight, "this could be it, Tomura! Aren't you excited?"

Tomura sneered, "yes...something feels off though.. Hey, where were you just now? You're not supposed to run off." He now turned his attention to the green haired boy.

He shrugged and pointed his thumb over his shoulder at the two staring in awe, "I was doing what I was told, dealing with the students."

"Ahuh.." Tomura sighed uneasily. "Whatever."

As another student interfered, Ice covered part of the nomu, freeing All Might. Midoriya gasped and rushed forward only to be stopped by Shigaraki, "Don't. The nomu will take care of it," he hissed.

"The nomu's stuck Tomura! I have to help!" He pulled away and sprinted into the fight, full power.

Everyone in the area seemed to freeze as he came into their sight. Jaws dropped and eyes widened. All Might, Todoroki, Aizawa, anyone that had a view of him, they couldn't believe their eyes. Was that really Midoriya?

He kicked the pro hero's face, no hesitation and a cloud of dust followed him as he tumbled back.

"Midoriya?!" Todoroki shouted.

"Izuku you moron!" Tomura shouted, worried that the heros would be able to covince him of the truth.

"Everyone shut up!," he yelled. "I'll be the one to end All Might! You can't stop me," he said, walking to where the hero now lay.

"Midoriya.." All Might stood, he was only hit because he was caught off guard. "What are you doing-"

"Shut up." "It's because of you that people like me and my friends and my father have to hide in the shadows. We're not bad people, ya know? That's why I'm going to kill you."

His eyes widened, "Midoriya, please stop. You're not making sense, just come with us and we can help y-"

"Stop it! You're all saying such weird things, you're delusional!" He attacked him again and, not wanting to fight back, All Might took the hit. "You're delusional.." he repeated to himself under his breath.

"Young Midoriya, please-"

"I said shut up!" Midoriya jumped at him but was held back. When he turned, he saw a pair of watering blue and grey eyes. "Leave me alo-"

"Midoriya stop! This isn't the person I knew, what happened to you?!"

"I'm not here to make friends-"

"My own mother called my left side unbarable before pouring boiling water on my face-"

"It's your power! Your power, not his-"

"Next time you need help, be more specific, I was almost too late-"

"C'mon Todoroki, it'll be fun!-"

"You've got a plan right? Let's hear it-"

Midoriya yelled, screamed. "No!! Everyone stop!!!" He pushed and faught to get free, finally he was able to kick Todoroki away and clawed his way back to the number one hero. "It's time you die!"

All Might tried to get a hold of him and calm him down but he was everywhere. His behaviour was wild as he jumped around, clawing, punching, kicking. Tears streamed from his eyes, he didn't know anything anymore.

His attacks slowly became weaker until he just broke down, crying on his knees and he hit his fist against the hero again in one last week attempt.

"My boy.. Please..." All Might mumbled, a bit in pain, and now crying too; he began to kneel to confort Izuku.

"Touch him and you die!!" Tomura ran in and held out his hand in the hero's face. "Midoriya, we have to go, reinforcements are here, it's over."

"You can't take h-"

"Stay put!!" Shigaraki helped up Midoriya and rushed him back to the warp gate.

As they walked into the smoke, Izuku looked at the faces and all eyes were locked on him. He saw tears on nearly every face and wiped away his own.

When he got home Izuku was swarmed with hugs. Twice, Dabi, Toga, his father. They were all telling him that he had done a great job and assuring him that all the heroes were trying to deceive him.

Now he's sitting alone in his room, skipping out on dinner.

What was that..? He kept thinking about what he saw when Todoroki grabbed him. They were memories, hazy ones, ones he'd forgotten, he only got a small hint that they were there but now he knew. It was wrong, so, so wrong, he just wanted to scream and cry.

He wanted to know what the truth was, but how could he do that when he can't remember?

~oOo~

All Might sat in the back of a parked ambulance, listening blankly to the students, police and teachers yell about what just happened.

"He was right there! You should have done something!," some students said.

"It was too dangerous! We would've if we could," the teachers shouted back.

"Everyone calm down!," the police tried to intervene.

"Is anyone going to talk about the things he was saying! Something's wrong!," Kirishima shouted, he hadn't stopped freaking out since the villains left.

"Kiri, calm down," Bakugou put a hand on his shoulder.

"I can't! You don't understand!" He pushed Bakugou away. "When you were kidnapped, we came after you, we made a plan! But now, we're not doing the same for him?! What is wrong with you all!?"

Aizawa stepped in now, "it was dangerous before, but even so, you had a lead when it was Bakugou. Don't blame yourself or any of your classmates because you don't have the same opportunity."

Another character joined the scene as a car pupled up and the door was slammed shut. She stomped, slumping to All Might whose eyes were glued to the groud. Mrs. Midoriya pulled her hand back and slapped it across the heroes face.

He was in shock until he slowly rose his head to meet her teary, furious expression. "How. Dare you?! How dare you just sit here when my son was in your grasps and you let him get away!"

She went to hit him again but Bakugou ran in between them and caught her arm. "Katsuki leave me alone, it's his fault! It's all his fault!!"

"I-Inko.. what are you doing here..?"

"I called her," Bakugou said simply. "Don't blame him, I called you because you needed to know,.. and to apologize." He let go of her arm and it fell pimply at her side. "I had him.. in my arms, he was so close and I let him go. He ran off and started fighting before I could get him again,.. they left."

"...What do you mean he was fighting? Who..?"

"..us..." All Might mumbled. "..They tricked him, somehow. Everything he said.. it ripped my heart out."

"Mrs... He didn't even remember me.." Bakugou told her.
