His whole body froze as fury swelled in his chest, how dare he, HOW DARE HE, how dare the man who had stomped on his dreams declare everything was fine.
Izuku put all his effort into staying calm clenching his fists so hard he could smell his own blood In the air, he tried to put on the carefree smile he perfected but found himself unable to stop his face contorting into a grimace. His breathing was ragged, his whole body was shaking meanwhile All might was already in the elevator talking to his doctor. They'd be here in minutes. He gave up on smiling and resolved to focus on staying as calm as possible, locking his body in to position, putting on what he hoped an emotionless expression and ignoring his pounding heart. Seconds later his door creaked open, and his doctor said, "well I'll leave you to it" the next sounds where all mights approaching footsteps, his door swinging closed and all might sitting in the squeaky chair by his bed.
"Young midoryia-" he felt a hand on his shoulder and he couldn't take it. He yanked the surprisingly skinny hand of him as he stumbled out of his bed determined to get away from all might.
"Don't touch me" he shouted in a voice so unlike his own, unnaturally high, filled with malice.
"Midoryia" came all mights panicked voice, as izuku tripped over some hospital equipment falling straight on his face.
All mights chair screeched as it shot backwards.
"STAY AWAY" shouted midoryia ignoring the river blood pouring down his face from his bleeding nose instead using the widow sill to pull himself up before leaning his forehead against the cool glass continuing to shake uncontrollably. He took a few shaky breaths before saying, "your obviously here for a reason, just get it over with," in a deathly calm voice.
He heard all mights foot steps get closer but refused to turn around.
"I just wanted to check up on you, what with everything that happened after our little talk." He could practically hear the guilt in all might voice.
"Little talk?" Replied izuku venom palpable, "surely that's not enough reason to keep up dated on my condition, you meet hundreds of fans a day, why would you check up on me of all people, someone you don't even deem worthy of becoming a hero."
"That's not" started all might but was swiftly cut of.
"Unless you were there," continued izuku, "but that can't be true the number one hero wouldn't stand by and watch me be bullied would he?"
Silence.
"Ha" it was more like a shout than a laugh as it held no humor, "I don't know why I'm surprised. This world has always chosen Kachan over me. No matter what he does, no matter how evil he is this world praises him, encourages him. I don't know why I'd expected you to do something other than walk away," izukus voice was breaking, "I don't know why I expected you to be my hero." He was fully sobbing now tears soaking through the bandages around his eyes.
"I'm sorry my boy," came all might defeated voice, "I deeply regret how I acted that day it was unbefitting of a hero and I know as a future hero himself young bakugo deeply regrets his actions."
"What" izuku had stopped crying now and his voice was hollow.
"I am truly sorry," repeated all might.
"Future hero?" Repeated izuku, " FUTURE HERO?!"
Izuku spun around throwing a random punch in all mights direction and felt his fist barley graze the hero's cheek. He threw himself at where he now knew the hero was standing knocking him to the ground. One hand grabbed all mights shirt as he sat on the hero's stomach the other landed a solid punch to his face as izuku screamed, "AFTER EVERYTHING HES DONE YOULL STILL ACKNOWLEDGE HIM BUT NOT ME," another punch to the face "HE HAS BULLIED ME FOR YEARS," another punch, "HE FUCKING BLINDED ME," punch "AND JUST BECAUSE" punch "HE HAS A" punch " FUCKING QUIRK" punch "AND" punch "I" punch "DON'T?!" Punch.
All might appeared to come to his senses seemly growing in size as he forced izuku off him. Izuku flew backwards into the wall before falling to the ground.
"I'm so sorry my boy," all might was on the verge of tears to now "I couldn't let such a young boys life be ruined because of a mistake he ma-"
"Are you blind? Look at me" roared izuku his voice full of emotion as he pulled the bandages from his face revealing heavily burnt skin and milky white eyes, "my life was ruined for the 100th time and I didn't even do anything wrong. My whole life I've always helped anyone in need, risked my own safety time and time again, to be told yet another reason I can't become a hero and that I'm useless. I don't understand does the world want me to become a villain? is that it? Cause Im pretty dam close to becoming one. Do you know how many hero's I've analyzed, how easy it would be for me to give the villains information on their weaknesses, on how to combat their quirks? Even you! I've noticed your weekly hero time has gone down and the time it takes you to deal with villains has gone up. All that they would need to do to kill you would be to make you waste your energy on a bunch of small villains then when your at you weakest use hostages, cermet their feet to the ground and fire attacks at them, aslong as the attackers are far enough apart you wouldn't be able to take them out without leaving the hostages to die, in the end you'd either take the attacks yourself to protect them leaving you weakened and injured, an easy target for a sniper, or you'd let the hostages die right infront of you showing the world your true nature. The world's number one hero would be dead or disgraced at the hands of someone both he and they deemed useless. It would be poetic justice."
All might listened to izukus rant in shock, how could he of been so blind not to realize the dangers this boy presented, he'd been so caught on on the kids lack of a quirk he hadn't even considered what other attributes he may have. Now however they were painfully obvious, intelligence, analytical thinking, determination, resilience. He was fully aware of the validity of the boys plan, he knew if the boy had of acted it out instead of telling it to him he could well be dead. All might was more scared than he had been in a long time as he looked at the crumpled boy on the floor opposite him, what had he done.
"I hope you realize how lucky you are, that even after everything I have been through I still fully intend to be a hero," said deku tiredly as he shifted himself into a sitting position wincing slightly as he straightened his back.
Shock was evident on all mights face as he looked at the boy. He didn't know what to do or say.
"In the time I've spent here I've come to a realization. I've been far to passive in becoming a hero, I've let people stand in my way and push me down waiting for a miracle to give me some power of my own, but I'm no longer so naive. I know now if you want something in this world you have to take it by any means necessary. I also know no one will ever stand in my way again." The icy tone cased all might to shiver slightly, struck by the similarities to his arch enemy, the cold powerful determined voice, the ability to disregard morals, the hatred towards him, had he created a monster?
Eventually deku stood up using the wall to guide him to the bathroom, he ran his bloody and swollen fist under the tap before splashing water on his face to remove the dried blood from his nose.
"You can leave now, I'll need to call a nurse to look at the rib you cracked when you threw me in to the wall." Said izuku as he made his way back to his bed.
All might went to protests but the boy just stared at him, milky eyes filled with malice, and he fled. He truly had created a monster.
