Liars (Villain Deku)

20-Confrontation

Izuku's soul is spiraling deeper and deeper into a hole as the days and weeks pass. The stronger drug is doing it's work to keep his mind pliable to the strings at AFO's mercy.

As the time went on, and he's joined the villains' killing spree again, he's completely forgotten any attempt/plan of escaping and memories before his capture.

Even running into Iida Tenya as they fled Yoroi Musha's death scene, he didn't recall a single memory.

(Police had already been dispatched to the lifeless hero's location and they were escaping through backalleys and tunnels. The student caught sight of them, on patrol for his work study, and called out to Izuku.)

The boy didn't have to think as he shot forward and brought Tenya to the ground. He didn't kill him, just knocked him out so the others could get away. The lot of them were surprised and pleased that he had done so without being asked.

His power was growing exponentially as well, All For One ordered that he train four days a week with their strongest members. He's quickly become nearly undefeatable, taken down Toga, Spinner, Shigaraki, and once Kurogiri. Many of the other lower-ranking villains won't even step in the ring with him.

Aizawa and Sugaochi sit together, stressing over the loading result of an antibiotic test.

The lack of powerful heroes is making the public very nervous and vulnerable, also putting an extra stress on the group looking into the murders and league of villains.

Ding!

Sugaochi reaches for the test results once they're printed and reads over them, Aizawa waiting on the edge of his seat. The detective's face lights up, "it'll work!," he says.

Aizawa leans back in his chair with a sigh of relief. Finally.

"Have Todoroki get in contact with that league member, we need to get Midoriya out of there as soon as possible," Aizawa tells Sugaochi.

"Right," he jumps out of his seat to make some phone calls.

Aizawa takes the cure and puts it in his utility belt before heading back to the school. He goes into the teacher's lounge and finds All Might to tell him privately in the hall.

"What's this about, Aizawa?" He asks, he's even more exhausted than usual and he's expressed his thoughts of quitting UA before.

Aizawa pulls the vial of antibody out, which is a blue liquid. "We got it," he tells him. "Sugaochi's making the calls to organize a rescue. We're gonna save him."

All Might takes a deep breath, he almost doesn't believe it. "It's been four months.. He.."

"We'll get him back. He's gonna be just fine."

Izuku tells his father that he's leaving just before he walks out the door. Getting a breath of fresh air after a long day of trading has sort of become a norm for him.

He wandered along the sidewalk for several minutes just looking up at the sky. He stopped and crouched behind some bushes cautiously when he heard some voices.

"This is such a long shot, ya know that?"

"I couldn't get into contact with Dabi so this is our best bet if we wanna find him."

Izuku looked through the leaves and saw the two walk over and sit on the playground set.

"Yeah, I get it, but we're just supposed to sit here and wait. He might not even show up."
