Swallow (Assassin Izuku)

Tell The Truth

TW! MENTIONS OF BLOOD AND TORTURE! PROCEDE WITH CAUTION!

Deku pov

A day later, Mr. Aizawa and the principle decide that it's time to introduce ourselves properly. We walk into class the next day, guns in hand. The wall has been repaired, but the message remains. 

I'm coming for you

I sigh, feeling my head start to spin with questions. 

What does he want? How did he find me? I thought he was killed...

I snap out of it, shaking my head and stepping up to the front of the class. 

"Today, our new students will be introducing themselves properly. After yesterdays events, we thought that it would only be fair for you students to know who they are and what they are here for."

Murmurs break out as Mr. Aizawa clears his throat. "Now, give us you name or code name and where you are from.", he drones. "What about their quirks?", the yellow haired electric boy asks. We all roll our eyes and stifle a laugh. 

"Hi, I'm Izuku Midoriya, but please call me Deku. I'm the leader and top hit man of the Alphas at QAA, or the Quirkless Assassins Academy. I lead our missions and take direct orders from the Mistress of the academy or a client. It's nice to meet you.", I say, my gaze fixed on Bakugou's expression. 

I see him clench his jaw and stiffen, making me laugh a bit inside. Of course, I stayed professional and kept my stance, but his reaction was too much.

"I'm Himari Osaku and my code name is Bear. I'm a member of the Alphas at QAA. It's a pleasure.", she says confidently. I feel my heart flutter a bit, making me a bit confused. 

What...

"I'm Yua Tanaka! My code name is Thousand and I'm part of the Alphas from the QAA!"

"I'm Ahmya Suzuki but you'll address me by Weather. I'm also a part of the Alphas at the academy."

I basically die inside at her monotone voice and expressionless face. I clear my throat, trying to keep the laughter down. But I gotta say, I haven't felt this feeling in ages. To be honest, I can't even remember the last time I laughed.

"Hey, I'm Shinjiro Amari and my code name is Wave. Like the rest of them said, we're the Alphas at the academy. Happy to be working with you."

I stare out at the students who begin to whisper amongst themselves, wondering why exactly we were here. 

"If you're wondering, we're here to protect you. There have been multiple sightings of suspicious figures around the school that we are to dispose of. Until then, we will be a part of your class.", I say, raising my voice above their whispers. 

At lunch, the students huddled around us, asking us questions. 

"So, what do you learn at an assassins academy?", the red haired boy said curiously. "How to be an assassin, duh.", I say jokingly. He groans and says, "You know what I mean!", as he became more and more impatient. 

"We learn the same academic things that you do, just more and we sometimes have to catch knives or bullets during tests.", I said, trying to recall every detail. "Catch bullets?", Bakugou asked. I shrugged while the others nodded, knowing that this wasn't a very common thing to take place in a classroom. 

We sit and eat, trying to answer as many questions as possible, though we were reluctant and had to keep some things confidential. 

"By the way,", Bakugou starts. "What was that yesterday?". I freeze for a moment, unsure if I should tell him or not. "Something and someone that we will get rid of. Don't get too unsettled about that.", I say coldly.

The others look at me with concern as I finish my food and go back to the classroom. 

Bakugou pov

"What was that all about?", I ask. Bear sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose. "It's nothing. Just a little something from a while ago.", she says. 

A while ago...?

"Hey, was there a connection between Deku's name on the wall and Deku freaking out?". The assassins whip their heads towards me, their eyes glaring into mine. "If you tell him that you saw that we'll make sure you're 6 feet under before you can even think about becoming a hero.", Weather seethes. I nod my head and gulp, clueless as to what I said wrong. 

"At the academy, we're not allowed to show any weakness. No laughter, no crying, no smiling. Hell, if we ever show anything other than seriousness and anger then we're done for.", Wave sighs, pulling Weather back with his hand. 

"But you know that didn't exactly answer my question.", I say, still curious. The assassins look at each other before nodding and turning back to me. 

"Two years after he arrived at the academy, he was kidnapped. No one knew what happened to him for three months until he came back, bloody, bruised and barely conscious. He held a Smith & Wesson Model 27 revolver that he still carries to this day. We presume it was to kill his abductors, since when we got to the scene they were all dead. Or so we thought. Bullets in the wall...his signature.", Wave says, shuddering and grimacing. 

I found myself at a loss for words, horrified at what I was hearing. 

"Thank you for telling me...", I say shakily. They nod their heads gravely, still shaken up from what had happened to their leader and friend.
