Smoke and Mirrors

Chapter 12- Don't be fooled

9 years ago

"Who fucking did it?!"

Radioactive green eyes glowed with unhindered rage, bright and manic as its owner drifts his gaze upon his subordinates that lined up in front of him.

"Who messed with my research?! Step forward!" His voice and rage was ignored by these so called scientists that were assigned to him, thinking that they were much more superior than the child that was ranked as their leader. Hisashi was a coward, a weakling that never complained or stood up for himself, someone who was their former assigned leader that never had the balls to take reign, what makes his child different from his father? What could someone so young give to the boss that they can't achieve, they were older than him, with much more experience than this child could ever have he should-

Bang

The sound of a cold metal bullet ringed as it fell to the ground, then not much later one of them dropped dead. Fear shook them to their core as they looked at the corpse oozing crimson red, unmoving, hollow as they soon realized one of their co-workers was dead. In disbelief they looked back at the kid in front of them, looking for any signs of remorse, guilt, shock.

They found none.

What they saw were the empty spiteful toxic orbs that stare at them back with much more intensity. They gulped as the boy raises the pistol with no second thought, "I don't want to repeat myself" this isn't a child, this wasn't something they would ever imagine Hisashi's child could be-

"Step forward NOW!" 

His voice roars with authority, everyone froze in terror, eyes wide and sweat pouring down their foreheads. They can't move, their feet glued to the ground, their lips trembling with held pleads- 

"It.. it was Yowamushi! I swear!" Kato, one of their co-workers steps up, voice shaking in pure unadulterated fear. Izuku looks at him, his thin lips part. "Ahh, I see"

Without warning, two shots rang throughout the room and a moment too soon two more bodies joined the first one. Their leader hides his gun in his lab coat, turning around to leave.

"Bring those three to the chambers, and toss them to each of the glass tubes waiting for them" he dismisses them with a wave of his hand and leaves the room with one more warning.

"If anyone were to mess with my work, you'll meet a much gruesome faith"

"You fucking idiot!!"

Thump

"Ouch!!!" Izuku rubbed his forehead, face wincing in a grimace, "That hurts Kaachan!" 

"You can't just suddenly disappear with your apartment ransacked and destroyed and not make us worry you fucking deku!" Bakugou raises his fist once more in a threat, Izuku wanting to appease the blond puts his hands forward in a placating manner. "I thought you would bring cookies in our first reunion in many years, not like this! You injure me Kaachan!" The green haired teen places his hand on his heart, acting as if in sorrow, he wipes a fake tear as he pouts pathetically.

"Okay! Okay! I'll give you a benefit of a doubt" but Izuku still pouts at him even more so, with his puppy green eyes. This big shit is trying to act innocent and childish.

It's working.

"Fine and I'll bring dad's cookies when I get the chance" the bastard brightens up and engulfed him in a hug, lifting him up and spinning him in the process.  "Thank you kaachan, your dad's cookies are the love of my life!" His grip on him tightened.
