A cat's tale

Chapter 1: The beginning

Chapter Text

Izuku was scared. Scared of the people and sharp machine around him. It poked and prodded at him, tearing his skin. He let out a cry of pain. Or he would have if not for the muzzle around his mouth.

“doctor he isn’t going to survive if we keep this up, we have to stop-”

“No!” the doctor snarled, “he will manifest a quirk if we keep going the reason he isn’t is because he knows we’ll wimp out. He is our last test subject sensei will have our heads if this doesn't work. Would you like to volunteer for his new project?”

“N-no doctor.”

“that's what I thought, now turn up the voltage” the doctor hissed. This time Izuku's scream penetrated the mask echoing around the room. His bones felt like they were shrinking and the skin on his lower back felt like it was being split open and his head hurt so much. Izuku felt like he was dying. Was he dying? He felt the cuffs around his hands and feet slowly loosen as his world slowly faded to black.

Izuku woke up in a dark damp cell. His body ached as if it had been taken apart again and again. The doctor has said these sessions would help him in the long run but so far, they had just left him in severe pain and no memory of where he got his various injuries. He could hear voices coming down the hallway slowly approaching his cell. He had been here for far too long. Since his seventh birthday in fact. He had been here rotting hoping for a he-, anyone to save him. He curled into a ball wrapping his tail around him. Wait. His TAIL he looked down and sure enough a dark green tail was wrapped around his shins. He was reaching down to touch it when he saw that his fingernails were curved and sharp. Did he- did he have a quirk? He reached up to touch his head to see if anything else and sure enough there was soft catlike ears on his head. it must be a feline type of quirk! He thought excitedly. He was brainstorming theories when a loud bang snapped him out of his thoughts.

“Good your awake.” Izuku looked up at the doctor flew to cover his sensitive new ears.” take him we need to do more tests.” the words were slightly muffled and he tried to stay on his feet when they pricked him with a needle but eventually he succumbed to the drug in his system.
Shota Aizawa had had enough with this mysterious doctor. An urban legend among the underground people feared to speak his name. So, when a criminal gave up the tiniest of proof that this ‘doctor’ was a real person the police jumped on it like a lion on fresh meat and of course they had to drag him into it too. With the rise of kidnappings and killings and more whispers about the doctor rising. The urgency of the case had increased dramatically and numerous pro heroes including himself and rock lock had been recruited to help. Aizawa was currently looking over the kidnaping cases that were in front of him. Multiple kids with regeneration type quirks had been kidnaped actually, all of them had some type of healing quirk. Apart from one of them, Izuku Midoriya. He didn’t have a quirk. Months before his kidnaping is mother had been killed in a drive by.at the time It was unknown whether it was aimed at her or one of the other casualties but with her sons kidnapping it makes sense. With her son bouncing around foster care it is hard to pinpoint his actual time of disappearance. It seems his foster parents hadn’t deemed a quirkless kids disappearance important enough to report. He had sent the file to Nezu once he heard this. He knew his old teacher would have a field day taking those ‘parents’ to court. He looked at the young boys file again. He didn’t know why this psychopath wanted Izuku. But it couldn’t be anything good.
