Hope in the Darkest Place

Sadness.

Izuku was curled up in a ball, sobbing miserably. The reality of his situation was really starting to get to him. He wished he was still able to see his mom. His mom always knew how too cheer him up when he was sad. That only really made him sadder. There was a chance he'd never see his mom again!

If only he hadn't gotten kidnapped... then he'd still be just Izuku, not some dangerous Nomu that needed to be locked away! He didn't want to hurt anyone!! He wanted to help people!

And too think, his whole life he wished he had a quirk, wished he had an amazing superpower to become a hero with, only to gain dozens upon dozens of quirks and have it ruin his life completly.

At the very least, he had figured out that while his new quirks made him a bit more physically capable, most of his power reilied on his intel. Which required for him to think, and therefore, have some freewill.

Meaning he'd never be a full on, mindless Nomu.

He was just Izuku the Nomu. Still Izuku none-the-less.

But that didn't make him feel any better. He felt completely useless, trapped in that same old stupid room. Izuku wanted to do something. Even if it didn't help anything. He didn't want to waste away in that hero hideaway bunker!

His knees were all wet from his tears, but he didn't bother wiping them away, he just continued to cry.

Why won't they just let me out of here? I wish I hadn't talked to Kirishima just cus he was a hero student... Then I'd be able to find mom..

I'm so weak, I can't even get out of this room....

Deep down, he knew that he easily could escape, but didn't because the heroes would think he was with the villains. However, his mind was clouded by emotions, not allowing for him to think properly.

Izuku heard the door open, but couldn't bring himself to care enough to hide his tears. It didn't matter, the heroes would think that he was only faking it anyway. No one would be worried for him.

Except the person was Kirishima. Kirishima, the only person who cared about him here.

Kirishima approched the boy, and wrapped his arms around him, despite the fact that Izuku was curled up in a ball.

Izuku lifted his eyes slightly to look at Kirishima. "Hey, Midoriya... Sorry I haven't seen you in awhile, the pros just wanted to make sure you wouldn't try to hurt me.." Kirishima said, and Izuku nodded. "It's fine... they really don't trust me, huh.."

Izuku recognized the concerned expression that Kirishima wore. He had been seeing him with it alot ever since Izuku got here.

Kirishima shook his head, sighing, "no, they really don't.". Izuku sighed misserably, "I can understand why... I mean, look at me.... I'm a Nomu... a dangerous Nomu, at that..."

Kirishima ruffled his hair, causing the Nomu to chuckle a bit. "Hey, wanna go watch movies with us? I'm pretty sure we're watching a Spiderman movie!"

Izuku would admit, it was tempting. He loved anything hero related, even if it wasn't real pro heroes. But, his presence would cause everyone else discomfort. He shook his head. Now that he thought about it, he was pretty tired. "I'll just stay in here... I'm gonna go to sleep..." Izuku mumbled, rubbing his eyes. Kirishima nodded, ruffling his hair once more before he stood up, "alright, then. Goodnight, Midoriya"

Izuku awoke in a cold sweat, his breath rapid and shaky. He had another nightmare. Memories of what had happened in the villain base flooded into his mind, as he tried to calm himself down. Tears brimmed his eyes, his body shaking violently. He shook his head, trying to clear his head.

You're not there anymore, Izuku.... you're with the heroes now.. they won't hurt you...

Izuku let out a long breath, finally calmed down.

He heard the door creak slightly, followed by light footsteps.

Probably someone here to give me my daily meal...

Maybe he wasn't actually being fed properly, with just one small meal per day...

Izuku saw a girl, Tsuyu Asui, enter his room, with a bowl full of ramen. Izuku looked at her excitedly, analyzing everything about her instantly, his new quirks storing all the information away in his mind.

Asui must've noticed that he was awake and staring at her, because she set the bowl down in the middle of the floor, with her hands up in a sign of surender and left as fast as she could. Izuku frowned at that. Izuku didn't want to scare her! He was just so happy to see another person, and with all of his quirks, he just analyzed the poor girl without realizing.

It must've been in the middle of the night, since people only came to his room at night. Except Kirishima, at least.

Izuku thought that he should go back to bed, but he was to scared that he'd get another nightmare. And while he was hungry, he thought he should save his food for later. So, he did what he always did. Find a random point to stare at until something happened.

Eventually, he got too hungry to handle it, and went to eat his food. There wasn't a note this time, probably because Izuku saw Asui.

Tsu shook her head, trying to get the image of the Nomu boy out of her mind. His gaze was incredibly scary, it was as if he stared into your soul and broke it down to the core, and the shape of his eyes didn't help any. Too top that of, he looked like a zombie, with how boney and pale he was. It was just too unnatural, it was unsettling.

The whole 'danger' surrounding the Nomu might have been part of it too..
