Chapter 4: Suzumi (backstory)

Chapter Text

Damn, everyone's pretty nice. I thought happily as I waved at a girl with pink skin. Having this being the first time going to a school, I was still a bit overwhelmed by everything.           The people at the lab barely mentioned news from the outside world, so I didn't know about many things. One of the few things I knew was that there were heroes. All Might, Endeavor, Hawks, Best Jeanist, Mirko. Even though I was literally constructed to destroy the world and the heroes, the scientists didn't do a very good job brainwashing me to do so.

I had been constructed and built in a lab, grown from a single cell. My entire life was built on experiments and pain. I was the start of a new era (or so I was told) and I had every power imaginable. I could manipulate matter, teleport, read minds, control elements, and everything else. On top of that, I had so much IQ, it went off the charts. The only thing that was missing was freedom and information.

I never left the lab, so when I finally killed the scientists that day and burned everything down, I started with nothing. I only knew the basics of society. I knew how to use money, how languages worked, what history was, and how the government was corrupt. All these things was information that the scientists fed me, so I had no reason to believe it was true. 

The only people I had ever talked to were Dr. Garaki, Shigiraki, the League of Villains, and All for One. Besides Dr. Garaki, they would only visit me a few times a month. And anytime they ever gave commands to me was when I was in a half comma-half awake state. The only person that gave me information about society was Garaki, and oh god, I fucking hated that guy. In fact, he was the first person I killed that night.

You might ask, how did someone as powerful as me break free so late? Well, the thought of escaping just never crossed my mind. Even though I was desperate to know more about heroes and be like one, I didn’t want to lose my only friends. Toga, Dabi, Twice, Spinner, Mr. Compress. They were the only people that kept me company, the only people that actually saw me as a person, even though we only saw each other once every few months. I just didn’t want to let go.

The reason I escaped in the end, was that I decided that being free was more important than my friends. And besides, my friends were against villains, so I couldn’t pursue my dreams with them watching. I wanted to be free. To be free of the pain and the isolation. I wanted to explore this hero concept, and be a hero. The escaping part was easy. I just crumbled the entire lab into dust and burned everything else. Then, after looking around for a bit, I realized that the lab was in the middle of the ocean, so I teleported to the nearest land, which was Japan.

After wandering in the streets for a while, 6 men in black suits came and told me to follow them. Having followed orders my entire life, I did what they asked. They brought me to a big building, did a few tests, and told me that I would be going to UA. When they told me it was a school for heroes, I had slapped myself to see if it was a dream. NO. WAY. A HERO ACADEMY?! I had thought to myself.
