Chapter Text
“Just pray that you’ll be born with a quirk in your next life, and take a swan dive off of the roof of the building!”
“No, I don’t think you can become a hero without a quirk.”
Those words haunted him for the next couple of minutes, but it felt like hours had passed. Now he stood alone, ironically, on the rooftop of a building as he watched the fading figure of his number one hero walking away from him. So much had transpired within the past few minutes, that it takes a minute before the weight of everything finally comes crashing down on Izuku after the sound of the door slamming shut, signifying that he was now truly alone. After a few moments pass by, he finds himself collapsing to the ground, shoulders shaking as a sob tears its way through his throat, everyone’s words ringing through his head. Time seems to slow down as it passes, second by second, until he finally calms himself down enough to move. Izuku Midoriya, picks himself up and stands alone, looking over the edge of the railing towards the sky. He stays like this for a moment, making his mind up and solidifying his resolve, leaving the roof.
It took him a little bit, but he had finally made it to his destination, Izuku stands tall, resting his body against the railing as he watches the sky go from a vibrant blue to a fiery orange . He takes a deep breath, letting the breeze blow a calming wind across his face. He smiles a small smile before lifting one foot in front of him and letting the feeling of freedom and release take over. The next thing he knew, everything had gone black.
I hope you live a full and happy life, Kacchan .
“Hey, Bakugou, don’t you think you were a little too mean to Midoriya?” one of the extras had asked, following quite a far distance away from the explosive blonde teenager. A spiky blonde-haired boy simply growls, flashing the two boys behind him a glare. The boys halt in their steps behind him, holding onto each other as intense red eyes pierce through their souls.
“Yeah right…the nerd deserves it for thinking he can join the best of the best without a quirk!” Katsuki simply sneers, staring down at the two boys in front of him. He watches as their expressions and their attention turns to something beyond him, no longer looking at him with fear.
“U-uh…Bakugou?” One boy stuttered out quietly,
“T-there’s something behind you!” The other shouted. However, before Katsuki could turn around and see what the boys were talking about, he feels something wet and cold begin to wrap around his body, watching as the two boys scatter away and disappear down the alleyway.
“H-hey!! Get back here idiots!!” Katsuki yells, trying his best to fight back whatever it was trying to trap him with his explosions.
“Well, well, well! This’ll do nicely, a strong quirk to go with this body as well, what a jackpot!” The substance said, soon Katsuki could make out the face of whatever it was wrapping around his body.
A villain!! Not good…
He thinks, continuing to set off explosions as he desperately attempts to get away. Soon he hears people begin to crowd around him, voices, gasps, whispers, and murmurs alike all begin to surround his hearing as he feels panic begin to build when the substance begins to climb higher and wrap around him tighter. He feels it slip into his nostrils and down his throat , practically gagging him all while suffocating him.
“Hahah!! I like you kid! You got more fight in you than that green haired punk!” The blonde-haired boy feels something inside him drop to his stomach. The fuck was this guy talking about? Surely it wasn’t the one that immediately popped into his head at that description, there’s no way. He puts that aside in his mind for later, continuing on with his struggles as he sees the crowd around them had grown and Pro Heroes had also shown up but…
Why the hell isn’t anyone helping?! Can’t they do anything about this guy?!
Katsuki helplessly thought, feeling the sludge continue to enter his body against his will and his energy to fight beginning to fade as well as the time passed, minutes turning into what seemed like hours. Hours of nobody acting, nobody lending a handout to help him as he feels what he assumed to be his impending death nearing. Black begins to creep into the edges of his vision, causing his panic to spike even more.
No, no, no, no! I haven’t been able to do what I need to; I have to get away from this guy!! Someone!! Anyone, help me out damn it!!
“Guys!! We need Pro heroes at this school stat!!” He hears someone yell, straining and fighting against the sludge to turn towards the voice from the crowd. He sees some Pro Hero, one he couldn’t care to remember the name of , as they frantically wave down the other heroes with a panicked look upon his face.
“T-there’s a green-haired kid…h-he jumped!! I-it’s bad, you guys, if you can come then come quickly !!” the hero yells, running in the direction of the kid with other heroes trailing right behind him. Katsuki feels everything begin to play out in slow motion at those words.
What? No…it couldn’t be…
“I heard he had been seen stepping off the rooftop…” a woman said, the conversation making its way to the blonde, catching his attention.
“Oh my…that poor kid…what could’ve lead to him making such an irrational decision…” another woman agreed.
T-this…can’t be happening…no FUCKING way…
Before he knew what was even happening, Katsuki felt a boost of adrenaline, managing to rip one of his hands free from the sludge.
“Hey!! What do you think- “the villain yelled, but was interrupted as the blonde-haired boy released as big as an explosion as he could muster into the villain’s face. Everyone that had remained crowded around the area collapsed from the impact of the explosion. It takes a moment, but once the smoke has cleared, everyone freezes at the sight before them.
“N-no way…did that kid just…” one hero stuttered; eyes wide in horror as he takes in the scene. However, as everyone stands frozen in place, Katsuki quickly makes his exit from the scene, using his explosions to make a quicker getaway.
“Hey!! Kid, get back here!! You’re seriously injured!!” He hears a Pro hero shout, but the call goes ignored as he continues blasting his way to where the heroes had run off to earlier. However, the more he uses his quirk to create distance from the crowd, the more the ringing in his ears worsens, the more he feels the breath he so longed for earlier slipping out of his grasp and black begins dancing in the edges of his vision.
Shit…can’t keep this up…
He thinks, soon coming to a rough landing against the asphalt, but not allowing it to slow him down. Just as quickly as he skidded across the ground, he was up and running further into the direction the heroes had run in, his gut feeling and adrenaline acting as his guide.
You are fucking idiot…you better not be who I think you are…
Katsuki thinks as he continues to run , picking his pace up even more once the school building has come into view. Just like the scene where he was trapped earlier, this scene had a crowd as well full of bystanders and heroes alike. With the rest of his strength, he pushes through the crowd, rough jabbing his elbow into the sides of people and ignoring all questions, stares, and looks of horror as he wiggles his way towards the center of the scene. After what felt like forever, he finally got a glimpse of the scene before him, feeling his knees give out before him as he stares in horror at the bloody mess laid out before him. He watches as Pro Heroes move back and forth in frantic motions around, police taping the area so bystanders cannot enter, and at the center of it all was a mangled body surrounded by a pool of blood. The only distinctive trait of the person that laid before them that Katsuki was able to see to confirm his worst fears was the blood stained green haired that flowed gently in the wind before the Pro Heroes finally took notice of his presence and dragged him away from the scene, leading him to an ambulance with empty promises that they will take care of everything, that everything would be alright.
