Summary
Izuku Midoriya has always wanted to be a hero.
Heroes save people. Heroes endure. Heroes do what must be done.
So when the gentle man named Giran asks him to be one, asks him to hurt, to break, to trade one life for another, he says yes.
Because saving someone means someone else must be left behind.
That’s what being a hero is, isn’t it?
He tells himself so until the ache dulls, until the faces blur.
He doesn’t like it. He doesn’t want it.
But he is needed.
And then he is needed elsewhere.It hurts. He wasn’t discarded, only weighed and found more useful in Shigaraki’s hands than Giran’s. It still aches, but feelings do not matter. Only that he is useful.
So he will obey. He will endure.
-Or-Kidnapped as a child and renamed Zero, Izuku fights in the pits until Giran decides he would be more useful to Shigaraki. Forced into villainy, he still holds on to the heart of a hero and feels a strange attachment to Shigaraki.
