Silent Death

Manipulation

...

Iida sat there, listening to the words Midoriya spewed out.
They weren't technically wrong...

And he couldn't even find the energy in himself to correct the wrong ideology.

It didn't help that he couldn't see Midoriya either.
He felt like he was all alone, trapped.
Never to be seen again...

"How did you feel when Stain hurt your brother?" Midoriya asked.

"M-mad..." Iida replied.

"Mhm mad.
No hero ever helped him either.
His side kicks were on the scene, why didn't they do anything to help him?"

"They were...?"

"Yup, wanna know why they didn't help?"

"...y-yes"

"Jealousy.
They wanted to take over the agency for themselves.
But your brother had to be out of the picture for that huh.
Stain follows a pattern, how did your brother just happen to be so unlucky and land in the same city he decided to be in?"

Iida stayed silent as a false truth made itself comfortable in his mind.

"The sidekicks planned it"

Iida lightly gasped as anger filled him inside, "no...
You're lying...?
Right??"

"No reason to lie.
If they had the chance, they'd kill your brother too.

Doesn't that make you angry?
Doesn't it make you...

Wanna hurt them?"

Iida nodded his head as he clenched his jaw.

"You know they're heroes too.

Heroes all think like this...
They wanna hurt whoever is better so they can take lead.
They all wanna be number 1.

Doesn't that make you want to end them all?"

Iida stayed silent as fury raged within him.

"Why don't you use that anger against them?
Why not become a villain.
Go against them all.

That way you can kill whoever makes you mad and not face any repercussion"

Bakugo lifted the dome upon Midoriya's command, revealing  an anger filled iida.

However, upon realizing it was just a scheme worked up by Midoriya he snapped back to his senses.

"Im not a villain scoundrel like you and will never be, your words won't trick me.
Tch" he hissed.

Midoriya shrugged his shoulders and walked out, "whatever you say Iida."

He left iida in the room and left with Bakugo.
As he did he could hear a child's scream and running.

Midoriya looked around and there he saw Kota come running out of the nomu room.
He held back a Chuckle as he walked up to him.

"Stay back!
I'm n-not scared to a-attack you!" He shouted.

"Then attack me" Midoriya chuckled.

Bakugo raised his brow, "what's Deku even trying?
He's getting him to attack him?
Why?"

Kota stared at Midoriya, his lips quivered.
He released a sharp exhale and charged at Midoriya head on.
He punched Midoriya's legs as hard as he could, exhausting all his anger out.

"You done now?" Midoriya asked as he noticed Kota just staring at his leg rather than attacking.
He was heavily breathing as well.

Kota pouted his lip, "I hate you"
He stormed off into another random room.
