"Why be a hero when you have the power to go against the Commission?
It's a waste of time trying to save people in the end.
After all, you're just post poning their deaths"

Midoriya sighed as he sat on the edge of a building, he looked at Tokyo.
Hawks flew to his side and sat down.

"I don't see why you won't consider becoming a hero, your quirk is perfect for it" he groaned.

Midoriya tucked in his flaming wings, "hawks.
Not everyone wants to be the center of attention"




An anti-hero Deku story.

Ever since Izuku Midoriya joined U.A. High School and settled in, he knew that the League of Villains were after him and his quirk: One For All. However, when the time comes when Bakugo is the target and is only seconds away from being captured, Midoriya throws himself in the chaos and ends up saving Bakugo, only at the cost of his own safety as he is captured instead. Midoriya is brought back to the League of Villains' hideout and with him there, Shigaraki plans on changing the young boy's mindset and plans to use force against him. When Midoriya isn't able to escape for three years and no one can seem to find him, he begins to lose hope and his wounds only bleed more. Even when he goes back in time with the help of a pro hero's quirk, he is diagnosed with depression and struggles to go on through life. He doesn't feel like himself. He needs someone. He needs someone so badly. But what if there isn't anybody to help Midoriya? How will Midoriya cope when someone close to him dies right in his arms? Warning! This story will contain depression, suicide talk, torture (not explained explicitly), violence, and a whole lot of angst! Also, this story won't contain any ships. So, there isn't any BakuDeku, TodoDeku, etc., it's just a depressing story with Midoriya with his friends trying to change themselves to help him and their own selves in the future.

Unsung Hero: Corruption

23 parts Complete Mature

I grew up wanting to be a hero... A hero that could save everyone. A hero, smiling to reassure others, like All-Might! The greatest hero! This world took that away. This world is pain. This world is scary. This world is sorrow. This world is wrong... Is a villain allowed to protect what he loves? Because I'm tired of losing everything... Phoenix quirk, anti-hero/villain Izuku.
