"It's been decided, you win Todoroki."

Izuku stood waiting for Toga to return from her mission to find shigaraki. He looked to the captive blonde squirming and thrashing about. It'd been decided long before Izuku had even mentioned any contest that Bakugou would be the one to die.

Before Izuku was taken, bakugou used to make his life hell. He would beat Izuku up,tease him, use him as a glorified servant. All the while calling him his "friend", if this was friendship Izuku didn't want it. However Inko was good friends with mitsuki, bakugous mother. Izuku knew it would make his mother sad to find out her son was being bullied by her best friends son so he kept it hidden.

"Oh honestly Kacchan, you're just embarrassing yourself." Izuku said. He held his arm up for his pet to jump down onto. The "bird" hopped into his forearm and happily squaked at its owner.

"I'll never stop fighting deku. Do you think your mom would be wanted this?huh?!?" Katsuki barked.

Izuku's eye started to twitch and his hands began to tremble. His pet had jumped off his body and hopped under a table.

"DO YOU HONESTLY THINK SHE'D BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU'VE BECOME?!?"  He screeched.

Izuku stopped. He quickly calmed his composure and walked over to the angry blonde. He smiled wide and looked katsuki up and down.

It happened so fast. Izuku had hit bakugou in the face multiple times over. Never once breaking the smile.

He nailed the blonde once in the jaw, twice in the temple and gave several on katsuki's cheek.

The green haired boy stepped back and sighed. He'd left his old bully bloodied and bruised. It looked as though katsuki's jaw had been dislocated and his cheek was bleeding and swollen.

"You really ought to have better sense than to provoke me Kacchan. You don't know anything about me. You've no clue what I've been through from the time I was six years old to now." He whispered. " Imagine, just picture, how many people I've killed between the ages of seven and nine Kacchan, take a guess."

Silence.

"Mhmm not talkitive now huh? Twenty-three. It was twenty-three lives I took, between seven and nine. And that was without my quirk. It's a bit ironic huh? You beat me shitless everyday for not having a quirk, but now mine is better than yours." Izuku huffed.

Footsteps were coming down the hall at a slow pace. Izuku flopped his head back and sighed.

"Shit.  I guess this is goodbye Kacchan. I would say it's been nice but I'd rather not gum up your last day with lies." He huffed.

Toga and shigaraki entered with bored expressions.

"Hey Toma-chan we're trying to figure out how to get rid of Kacchan here. What do you think we should do?"

Tomura looked at the boy and smirked.

"Is this the one that made life hell for you Izu-kun?"

"Mhmm. That's him alright."

"How about a taste of his own medicine then?"

Izuku giggled and pushed his pointer fingers to his cheeks.

"Ah, you're right Toma-chan!!! I can just use his quirk!!!" Izuku laughed and slapped his cheeks. He turned to katsuki and bowed to look him in the eye.

"Heheh, you don't mind me taking your quirk right?" Izuku grinned.

"Fuck you Deku! I know you're in there somewhere! Snap outta it!!" Katsuki growled.

"Mmm ok well if that's the case... Too bad you couldn't use your last words for something better."

Izuku jumped back and ungloved his hand. He wiggled his fingers and small explosions popped in his palm. He gradually increased them as he walked back twords bakugou. The explosions were almost pushing his hand back. Izuku grabbed katsuki's throat, hovering right over the ash blondes jugular.

Bakugou started to squirm and thrash to get out of Izuku's grasp, but the villain only held tighter.

Izuku turned his head to Todoroki and gave a small grin. Explosions started to pop, each growing louder and louder. Bakugou screamed and yelled. He threw his head back and his eyes retreated to the back of his skull. The final explosion made its way thru his neck and Todoroki's face became speckled with blood.

A look of mortification washed over Todoroki's face. He quickly turned his face away and retched. He vomited on the floor beside him and continued to look away from the gruesome scene.

"Himi get rid of him would ya?" Izuku said.

He sounded completely unfazed and went over to Todoroki's seat. Izuku put his hand on the boys chin and made him look at him. His hand was still covered in bakugous blood but he hardly noticed.

"I'm going to unchain you now. If you try anything dumb, you'll end up like All might, Mr. Half n half." Izuku said as he looked shouto in the eyes.

Izuku waved his hand over todoroki, letting all the chains and restraints fall. The bi colored boy slowly Rose from his seat. He was visibly shaking as he wiped the blood spatter from his face.

Izuku extended a hand to the distraught boy in front of him. The latter slowly extended his own to grasp Izuku's. He latched his cold hand onto Izuku's warm and sticky one.

Izuku held tight to Todoroki's hand and led him back to the bathroom. He positioned todoroki on the wall. He took out a small rag from the drawer in the sink and wetted it. The villain wiped the blood stain from the would be heroes face and sighed.

"Toma-chan did this for me the first time I watched him kill. It was pretty scary." He admitted as he slowly swiped the flesh undermentioned Todoroki's scar.

"D- do you.. will..does...uhm..." Shouto struggled

"Mm no. I don't want to kill you. I do understand what you are going and it does get better."  Izuku said

"Look, I know this isn't probably isn't what you wanted in life, but just trust me. This life is worth it. We'll show you everything you couldn't see before."

"Ok."
