1-A's Infamous | BNHA Villain AU

Part XXVIII - Let me Down?

- We... We got revived by some kind of necromancer the League recruted. We escaped easily due to them thinking we would be easy to control, kinda like Nomus, and we walked from this hideout to here.
- Then why the fuck did it take you a whole fucking month to get here?!
- It was in Abashiri, responded Tsuyu.

Aizawa and All Might's eyes widened.

- For fuck's sake... I heard Aizawa mutter.

Then, Kirishima approached me.

And pulled me into a hug.

- Man... we missed you so much. You and the others!

I felt uncomfortable in a hug. I patted his back and struggled free.

- What's that on your arms and neck? asked Tokoyami.
- I'd like to know as well, answered Aizawa.

I gulped.

- It's bandages! said Shoto.

Then he unwrapped his arms.

Everyone brought their hands to their mouth in shock and disgust.

- W-what the hell?! shouted Kaminari.
- What's wrong with your arm?? asked Jirou.
- It's because of this necromancer's quirk. From what I learned, it's kind of as if we were 1 quarter corpses and 3 quarters normal. Our skin decays, basically, Momo said.
- Oh and the knife cut on our neck doesn't heal, added Ochako.
- What do you mean it doesn't heal?? shouted Hagakure.

I unwrapped my neck a little. Some girls looked away. All Might and Aizawa had pity written all over their faces.

- It doesn't hurt at all though, I said to try and reassure them.
- It's still very concerning... you could die! shouted All Might.

My heart dropped when I saw the look of concern and sadness in his eyes.

Why am I feeling bad?

And for a hero on top of that?

What the hell?!

- You guys come with me to Recovery Girl right now... said All Might.

He walked away and gestured for us to follow him.

I looked back to the students.

They still had looks of shock written on their faces.

I turned around, feeling a pain in my chest before ignoring it.

[...]

Recovery girl told us the same thing Nedzu said.

She helped us the best she could before we left the infirmary.

As we were walking back to the dorms, where she told us to go and get rest, someone grabbed my shoulder.

- Young Midoriya...?

I spun around just to be instantly pulled into a hug. Small tears dripped onto my shoulder as he held me tightly.

I felt like this was my breaking point.

I was so confused. So lost. I didn't even know who I was anymore. A hero? A villain?

Maybe even a victim?

What's my place in this world?

I felt salty tears sting the corners of my eyes as I swung my arms behind All Might's back and hugged him.

I felt comfortable. Even if he was all skin and bones, it felt like it wasn't.

Soft whimpers escaped my mouth without my consent.
