Chapter Text
Izuku walked down the street, holding his backpack over his shoulder. He had parted ways with Uraraka and Iida at the station already. His mind wondered to All Might, the strength had been given to him, but at what cost? During the exam he broke both legs and his right arm, then today he broke is index finger with only the smallest amount of power.
"Then I'll keep training, I'll master One for All and become the successor of All Might. That's my destiny." Izuku said to himself as he turned into an alley, his home only a few houses away from the other side.
"Destiny? No... I'd say your destiny is quite different." A scratchy voice stated, he could feel their breath on the back of his neck. 'How did they get there? I was sure I wasn't being followed...' Izuku thought, his eyes widening as he slowly turned his head. His body shook as he came face to face (more like face to hand) with someone. It was a man, a hand clasped to his face and multiple others around his body. A black void was behind him.
Izuku could feel his body becoming immobile, it always happened when he was scared.
"Now, how about I bring you to meet your new Master?" He said in a cold voice.
"N-New... What?" Izuku struggled out, he was surprised he could even speak at all.
"Never mind, we don't have time for this!" The black void spoke, he felt a gust of wind behind him and a cloth covered his mouth.
The world suddenly went black.
---
Izuku's eyelids lifted slowly, still feeling heavy.
"You're finally awake, Midoriya, was it?" A dark voice spoke, he couldn't move so he wasn't able to face whoever was speaking to him. He noticed that he wasn't even able to open his mouth because of a gag strapped to him.
"I'd like to be the first to welcome you to the League of Villains, an Organization dedicated to creating a world without peace." The voice said again, Izuku began to register how robotic it seemed to sound.
"My name is All For One, but you may call me Sensei." He stated, the voice was slowly getting closer and a gloved hand came around his face and tore the gag from his mouth. Izuku started to take ragged breaths in, breathing deeply from the lack of oxygen it had caused. Everything was telling him to run, every fiber in his being was pushing and screaming at him to stand and run as far away as possible.
"Today is your lucky day Midoriya, because I would like you to join us. I would like you to aid us in achieving our goal of creating our better world." He said in smooth tone despite the staticing sound that was coming from him.
"I'll never join you!" Izuku snapped without thinking. He found that he wasn't able to move any part of his body, so the best thing to do was stay silent. But his mouth clearly wasn't in the same place his head was.
"Young Midoriya... I'm afraid you don't have a choice." The voice said quietly, he could feel someone behind him. A door opened in the same direction the voice was coming from.
"Sir! Tomura said you'd like to speak to me." Another voice, one with a more orderly voice that clearly came from someone like them.
"Ah, yes Ren. I need you to use your Quirk on this boy. Change every memory involving All Might is your first priority, make him hate the hero with every fiber of his being. Then... Change whatever that influenced him into wanting to become a hero, he got his Quirk from me. We saved his life and brought him here when he was around seven or eight. He is a villain." The voice was getting closer o the door.
"Yes, Sensei." He stated, the door was closed then the sound of shoes began to approach him. There was a sharp pain in his neck and 'Ren' grabbed his head, then there was a sudden black out.

~A few weeks later~
"What is your name?" A voice said, it was blurry at first but he still heard it. What was his name again? Deku, right. Deku definitely rang a bell. Deku opened his eyes and seen the face of someone with blonde hair and sharp teeth. He was snapping his fingers in front of Deku's face.
Deku pushed them away quickly, then slowly sat up. "It's Deku, idiot. You should know that by now." The freckled boy said, running a hand through his green hair. He was sitting in a bed, it was his bed. He lived in what some would call, a 'base'. It was a back room in a bar run by villains. He stood up, ignoring the presence of the sharp-toothed guy.
He stripped out of his shirt, staring at the wires running up and down his body, all coming from a metal box screwed into his back. It's been there for years, why does it hurt so much right now? He brushed it off, then looked at the blonde. "Get out before I punch you through a wall." Deku said in a cold voice. The man quickly scurried out of the room.
He looked around the room, it was very simple. Bed, desk, dresser. Very simple indeed.
He strolled over to his dresser and opened a drawer, quickly pulling out his simple black hoodie and putting it on. He didn't bother changing his pants, they were black uniform ones so he wasn't worried about them not matching. He sighed and put the hood of the hoodie over his head, hiding his messy green hair. Deku strolled over to the door. When he stepped out he entered a hallway, he made his way down it. As he approached he heard multiple shouts and yells and cheers.
When he stepped into the main part of the bar he seen villains playing card games like Poker or Blackjack, some doing shots, others ranting. But something else he noticed was a few of them were playing darts, but what really caught his attention about it was they were aiming at an All Might picture and it seemed like almost all of them were missing. He approached them, his head held high.
"Hey, let me show you how it's done." He said, pulling three darts away from the current players hands at such high speeds that they weren't noticed until everyone seen them in his hands.
"Who do yo-" The man originally holding the darts began, but his arm suddenly caught fire. He shrieked in pain, but before Deku could throw the first dart a scratchy voice rang out above the crowd.
"Deku!" A said in an annoyed tone.
"Fine, you're such a spoil sport Tomura!" Deku called back, then snapped his fingers and the flames disappeared.
Deku finally threw the darts, all at once. One landed on All Might's left eye, another on his right, and one at the center of his forehead where the bulls eye was.
There was a few cheers and Deku bowed. "I know, I'm great." He said pompously.
He turned on his heels and strolled over to the bar, sitting on a stool next to a man with hands holding parts of his body. "Morning Tomura." He said casually. "Deku... It's five in the afternoon." A person -more like mist- wearing a suit and tie said. "So what? Kurogiri, would it hurt you that bad to loosen up?" He asked the black mist. Deku looked back over to Tomura. "So, what's the game plan?" He asked, referring to their attempt to destroy All Might for good with their new Nomu prototype.
"Sensei told us to tell you that you aren't going to be engaging in combat like everyone else." Tomura told him.
"So I'm not going, no fair!" Deku whined.
"You're still going, crybaby. You're coming, but you need to stay out of sight. Sensei said that it was nessesary, you need to continue watching the battles before you can participate." Tomura said, looking at the barista. "Whiskey, Tequila, Strawberry Daiquiri." He sighed, going from himself to Deku to Kurogiri. "Pansy." Deku muttered, glancing at Kurogiri. He always had to be so fancy.
"Why am I not allowed to help? I'm strong and I've been training here for eight years, when am I going to see real action?" Deku asked, an annoyed tone in his voice.
"When Sensei says you can, no time before that. We're leaving after I finish my drink." Tomura growled, just as he said that two shots of Whiskey was put in front of him, one shot of Tequila was put in front of Deku and the Strawberry Daiquiri was placed in front of Kurogiri.
Deku quickly downed his shot, his mind told him that he was completely used to drinking. But in reality he would've been drunk off his ass if it wasn't for the box on his back that absorbed most toxins.
Tomura swallowed his own, before Kurogiri could drink his own Tomura stood on the bar table and started saying a speech. All Deku heard was 'blah blah blah All Might blah blah blah 13 blah blah blah win blah blah blah blah'. Deku walked away as he continued his speech, he didn't really care about it and had no trouble saying it.
He entered his room and walked over to his bed, kneeling down and pulling a box out from under it.
"It's been a while since I've had to pull you out." He told himself, opening the box. He pulled out a pair of tight black jeans that had elastic on certain parts to make him more flexible. There was a black tank top with straps crossing over it filled with objects he could use if needed (smoke bombs, daggers, marbles (you never know) throwing darts, and a small roll of capture tape.). There was also a black jacket and leather gloves, most likely hiding his weak points that were his Quirk wires, without those wires he'd be Quirkless not to mention dead. He slipped them on then reached into the box again and pulled out his 'utility belt'. The belt had a rolled up whip on the left side and a handgun was strapped to his right hip and here were two bags next to it holding ammo along with two gas grenades. Then his final piece was a black mask, it was decorated around the edges with a light teal stitching. It all felt so brand new.
He left his room, as he walked down the hall he could still hear Tomura's insufferable speech but it was coming to a close. When he walked into the room everyone was cheering and Kurogiri had lost his clothes and made himself into a warp hole. He noticed a very tall figure, about the size of All Might. "Oh, that's Nomu." He muttered. Without a word, he walked over and stood beside Tomura like he remembers doing for a few years now, but it earned him a few weird looks.
"Now, let's go get rid of 'The Symbol of Peace' once and for all!" Tomura yelled in his scratchy voice. There were multiple cheers, when Tomura and Nomu walked through Kurogiri's warp gate Deku followed on their heels.
When they stepped through the warp gate they were in some type of dome, all the other villains proceeded exit through Kurogiri. When they were all out, Kurogiri formed back into his original villain form, him naked.
"Deku, go hide so you can watch villainy at it's finest." Tomura said in his proud and scratchy voice. Deku rolled his eyes, but nodded at them. He wasn't acknowledged by Nomu (probably because the thing couldn't think for itself) but he received a side glance from Tomura. He looked around and his eyes settled on a mountain in the distance, it wasn't surrounded by a dome and was jagged enough to the point that he could hide behind just about anything over there. In a burst of speed Deku was there, his enhanced speed makes it look almost like he's disappearing and reappearing somewhere else. But the drawback? It tires him out really fast. He panted for a moment before climbing to the top of the mountain, he could see just about everything from there. His eyes flicked around the area. There were small domes positioned at different parts of the larger dome.
After he was done looking around he seen Kurogiri start moving, it seemed like there was an exchange going on between him and The Space Hero 13.
"Hey you." a voice behind him said, he turned and seen someone with a bodybuilder body but a small head was looking at him. "Yeah? What do you want, I'm kind of busy here." He told him, looking back at Tomura and Kurogiri to watch what was going to happen.
"Who are you, kid?" He asked, Deku went still for a second. "My name is Deku, I'm a member of the League, duh." Deku told him. "Then why haven't I ever seen you before?" He interrogated, Deku turned his body to give him a weird look. "What are you talking about? I've been with the League since I was seven." He told him, then turned his back to them so he could continue watching. He suddenly stood up, watching as two boys jumped at Kurogiri, but failed to hit him and instead hit the ground.
Kurogiri surrounded them in mist, Deku quickly realized what was happening. He was warping the students somewhere. A few of the other members where fighting Eraserhead and getting their ass' kicked.
There was a sudden gust of wind that almost knocked Deku over, a purple portal opened up above them and Deku immediately recognized what it was. He used his enhanced speed to go down part of the mountain and out of sight. He moved from behind a rock as two people fell from the portal. One seemed to have a very plain appearance, his hair was black and shot downwards, he had an oddly unnerving smile and something about his elbows seemed weird. His emerald eyes drifted to the other person. Half his hair was red and the other half was white and a large scar stretched from the side of his nose to the left side of his face.
Just as they were getting up a few villains attacked them head on. Deku watched as the half-and-half froze some of the villains and the plain guy shot capture tape out of his elbow. Deku was surprised at the sight. His eyes went to the plain looking guy who had the bodybuilder villain wrapped in some capture tape and was speaking to him, while the half-and-half guy finished freezing all the other villains and was walking over.
The bodybuilder seemed to have ratted him out because both boy's heads snapped towards the rock he was hiding hiding behind. "That son of a-" Deku bit down on his bottom lip so he wouldn't finish his sentence, he didn't curse often despite being a villain.
Both guys began jogging down the mountain, avoiding any pointed rocks or big ones that would cause them to fall. Deku turned on his heels and began running, tripping over a few rocks in the process. When he looked up the plain guy was about twenty feet away with his capture tape out and ready to strike, so that was stressful. Deku noticed ice began traveling in his direction, he panicked a bit and when he looked forward he seen a drop off. "Todoroki, he's cornered." The plain one said to the other, his eyes never leaving Deku.
That's when he got an idea.
He continued to run, but paused when he got to the edge of the drop off. They continued running at him, but stopped about seven or eight feet away. "There's no where to run to, kid. We've got you cornered, might as well give up now. All we want are answers." The plain guy said in a persuasive tone. "Maybe there's no where to run, but there is a place to fall." He said, then looked over his shoulder at the ground below him where a array of pointed rocks stood. He positioned himself so he'd be in an area with no pointed rocks. But if they did what he thinks they would do, then he'll be fine. The two exchanged glances, then Deku inhaled sharply, it was a tall fall, he was very likely to break a few bones. He heard something incoherent from one of them as he fell back. The world started to move in slow motion. He seen the plain guy looking over the edge at him, then raising an elbow and shooting capture tape at him. Deku allowed it to wrap around his waist. His eyes flicked up to them as they quietly exchanged a few words, then turned a bit. He was only a few feet off the ground.
He brought his hand out and snapped a finger, this would hurt so damn bad. He caught his own waist on fire, eyes pricking with tears at the feeling of a few of his wires snapping. But the flames disappeared as soon as the capture tape snapped off and he hit the ground. He didn't want to move ever again.
Until he seen a flash of white.
The boy called Todoroki began using an ice Quirk to start sliding down the small cliff. Deku quickly scrambled to his feet, he decided to activate his enhanced speed Quirk. He already used it once so it would be hard to use it again, not to mention his burnt waist.
He only got about fifteen meters before he needed to stop, so they weren't far behind, especially since Todoroki was riding on ice like a surf board. Deku decided it was time for plan B. He pulled one of his gas grenades from his belt and unhooked it, throwing it behind him. Then he pulled off a smoke bomb from his chest and a lighter from his ammo bag and lit it, throwing it over his shoulder. All the smoke would probably catch some attention, but it might not be enough to get noticed.
As he ran he heard the sound of coughing and wheezing, he looked behind him as the plain looking guy crawled out of the gas and smoke and was coughing up a storm. He slowed for a moment, but out of no where Todoroki was slinging himself out of the gas with a hand over his mouth. He seemed angrier than ever, it sent a shiver down Deku's spine as he was shooting at him at breakneck speed. Deku started to panic, but didn't stop running. He wasn't sure how Todoroki hadn't caught him yet, but he didn't care. As long as he could get away he was fine.
Deku finally got to the bottom of the mountain, surprisingly not breaking anything. But he didn't stop running, he continued and found himself falling in front of Tomura and Kurogiri.
"What happened?" Tomura asked. "Some of the student's came after me, Tomura they burned off some of my wires." Deku whined, that was a bit of a lie, but if they found out he did it then he'd get in more trouble than he's worth. "Don't worry we'll replace them when we get home, your enhanced healing will help with the burn, sit there for a second." Tomura told him in an annoyed tone.
Deku let his eyes drift to the fight between Eraserhead and Nomu.
Something inside Deku's stomach lurched when he seen Eraserhead's blood on the ground and Nomu pushing his head down. But whatever happened disappeared within a second, almost like a switch went off in his head.
"Hey!" A struggled voice came from the direction of the mountain, it was the plain looking guy being held up by the arm of Todoroki they had stopped a few feet away from them.
"It's okay Todoroki, I can stand, I'm fine. Just out of breath. Hurry, get that monster thing off Mr. Aizawa and I'll take him back to the class." He said, pushing away from the ice boy.
Todoroki nodded and walked over slowly with dead eyes and quickly encased Nomu in ice. "Hurry up and get Mr. Aizawa out of here Hanta, I'll hold them off for as long as I can."
"Right. Good luck Todoroki." The plain one 'Hanta' nodded at Todoroki. Hanta used his capture tape to pick up Eraserhead and carry him away, no one made any move to go after them.
Deku rolled his eyes, limping to get up.
Nomu suddenly broke free of the ice, but Deku wasn't surprised. All Might could do it, so that meant Nomu could as well.
Todoroki started to freeze Nomu, then knocked off one of his arms. The arm quickly grew back.
"What is that thing?!" A guy with red hair asked as he approached with another guy. The other had familiar ash blonde hair and red eyes.
Deku staggered back like he had been hit by a truck, though he wasn't 100% sure why.
"Oi! Half Face, what the fuck is going on?!" A strangely familiar voice hit his ears. A vague memory popped in his head.
"Wow your so amazing Kacchan! I hope when I get a Quirk it'll be cool like yours!"
"Whatever Deku, no matter what power you get you'll never beat me."
The voices suddenly faded, and Deku shook his head to rid himself of the disappearing memory. The blonde one came charging at them while he was shaking his head and Deku wasn't able to move in time before an explosion hit one side of his face, successfully burning half his mask off and burned a wire off his neck causing it to bleed and him to cry out in pain.
"Deku! Are you alright?" Kurogiri called out to him.
"I'm fine!" Deku shouted back with tears in his eyes from the pain of loosing the wire, the ash blonde who seemed slightly taken back. That gave Deku the perfect window of opportunity. Deku's arm shot out and punched him square in the jaw, but all that happened was the taller male fell, he hadn't died. Deku wondered what was going on with that power, he was so strong and has used it plenty of times before, what was wrong?
"What the fuck?!" The other boy said, before he knew it Deku's feet were no longer touching the ground. Instead he was dangling in the air by the other boys hand so he was eye level.
"Let go of me!" Deku yelled, thrashing around.
"Deku, you bastard where have you been?!" The other boy screeched.
"What are you doing?! I don't even know you!" Deku shouted, grabbing onto the blonde's hand and trying to pry it away.
The boy seemed taken back by Deku's answer.
Deku used this as a chance to kick the boy in the shin, it was accurate enough to get him out of the boys grasp and onto the ground. When the boy composed himself again he glared at Deku, popping sounds came from his palm, he was clearly very livid about the situation.
From behind him, in almost slow motion he seen Tomura's hand going straight for the blonde's face.
Deku acted out of instinct.
He screamed at the feeling of skin ripping away from his body as Tomura accidentally grabbed Deku's arm that was protecting the blonde that he had leaned up against to support himself so he could protect the boy he didn't even know. The pain of wires disintegrating off his arm was what hurt the most and caused the scream at the top of his lungs, but he only yelped and bit down on his bottom lip to the point where it was bleeding and tears made a steady stream down his face.
"Deku!" Kurogiri shouted in surprise as Tomura held on to his arm out of pure shock. Despite knowing the pain risk, Deku purposely put his arm against Tomura's hand while he was using his Quirk. At this point Deku was going to pass out.
"Tomura, let go!" Kurogiri shouted, bringing Tomura back to earth and making him pull his hand away. The missing skin had slowly begun growing back, but it would take a while considering he was missing half of it and wires were being burnt or pulled off his body.
"C'mon Deku, you piece of shit! Why do you always have to go around fucking protecting everyone, your so stupid. You apparently don't fucking remember 'Kacchan' so why the fuck would you try and fucking help him?!" Kacchan growled out the name that made Deku flinch. The pain from his missing wires and now missing skin was too much to bare, so Deku finally passed out in Kacchan's arms.
Tomura reached out to grab Deku from Kacchan, deactivating his Quirk. But once he did that, Kacchan grabbed him by the arm and used his Quirk to burn his arm. Kacchan clenched Deku tightly to keep him away from them, and basically out of no where Nomu slammed a hand into Kacchan, but because of his grip on Deku, the boy went with him.
"No idiot! We need Deku! Get the boy!" Tomura growled at Nomu, but within his first step the wall suddenly crumbled at the entrance.
"It's fine now! Why? Because I am here!"
