Payback and Payment

about 5 months later, hey there

Izuku's quirk was a complete mystery to the world. It was one of a kind, one that wasn't just a quirk, but seemed like an actual superpower. When news about the murder of an "innocent" classmate went around the world, those who wanted a test subject finally got an excuse to use him.

They sure as hell did, not caring about his wellbeing. UA High was split on their opinions of the boy, one side thinking he was a cold blooded murderer, the other still having faith in his innocence. There were some that absolutely despised him, wanting him dead.

The villain's plan worked out perfectly. To get rid of the potential star student, and turn everyone against him. Unfortunately for them, there were those who didn't turn, but it's not like they could do anything about it. Izuku was shown as a criminal in a gullible world, and their only proof was the murder of Denki Kaminari. Izuku didn't stand a chance in court, hell, they never even gave him one.

Meanwhile, over at the "testing" facility.

Izuku slowly opens his eyes, in a dark room while strapped up on the wall. His whole body felt as if it was on fire, yet for some reason it was relieving to know he wasn't being tested at that moment. His hatred for UA High only rose more each time an injection was made, and he'd lost so many people to blindness. To think another tragedy would strike at a time like this.

In such a hopeless time, who would save him? Or would he have to be his own savior?

He thought to himself, 'What have I done to deserve this?' It's clear he'd done nothing wrong. He felt the hate of others, and it pushed him down into a darker abyss. The feeling of sadness became common, he almost felt numb. He thought the whole world rejected him, but thankfully, that wasn't the case. There was never a happy moment in that environment, and it felt as if he'd never experience one ever again.

His inner thoughts were cut short by the doors busting open, and his heart dropped once again.

"Hello there! Ready for round 3?!" The mad scientist smiled creepily, as he pulled out a vaccine.

Izuku closed his eyes as he braced for the pain.

Even though bracing wasn't that effective, Izuku would try his hardest to get through it.

He expects a very sharp pain to hit, but..

There was none.

He opened his eyes to see only white take over his vision, and he looks around the blank space. Nothing at all.

A tap on his back startles him, and he turns around quickly by reflex.

Only to see a face he hadn't seen in ages, Ikki Kurogane.

Izuku teared up, and slowly walked to Ikki. He hugged him tight, after all, they hadn't seen each other in ages.

"I see you're in a tough predicament." Ikki lets go of the embrace.

"Y-yeah.. I don't get it.. why does everyone think I'm horrible?!" Izuku shouts. "I've been in a similar situation, but discard the testing.." Ikki awkwardly laughs. "How exactly?" Izuku asks in curiosity.
"Everyone thought that I was the absolute weakest in my school. Even the school system was against me passing due to my family's interference. But, this is nothing compared to the situation you're in. You're being both mentally and physically damaged, and used as a test subject. As much as I want to get out there and literally beat the shit out of them, I can't." Ikki explains his own similar situation. "How did you get out of that spot? What did you do?" Izuku was curious.
