Diabolic Desire

Theft

...

"Well.
Not much you can do now"

"I know"
Midoriya sighed as he waited for the commotion to die down.

With the Nomu disappearing and all the fires being put out, it was only a matter of time before order was restored.

_________________________________________

The week had officially come to an end, the internships were over, and order had been restored.

When Monday rolled around, school was back in regular session.
And with school came gossip.

And there was a lot of it regarding Friday's incident.

"Iida!? You are so lucky to be alive!"
Kaminari began as he shook his shoulders.
Iida glanced away as he stared at the ground, he was being circled around by his classmates and wasn't enjoying the attention.

"Yeah!?
The blood Reaper was there!
They killed that pro hero and then stain!?
And you're still alive!?
Did you get to see the Blood Reaper!?
What do they look like?!"

Iida was bombarded by questions as Midoriya idely listened in on the conversation.

Iida sighed, "...I didn't actually get to see the blood Reaper"

"HOW!?
YOU WERE THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED!"

"I passed out before I could see or hear anything.

Then when I woke up again I was in a hospital being questioned by police.
I had to explain my innocence and they asked me if I had seen the Blood Reaper like you're all doing now..."
He replied.

"You know, that's fair.
Personally if I ran into stain I think I'd pass out too.
But wait!
Who injured you...??
The Blood Reaper or stain??"

"Stain...
He was going to kill me before I guess the Blood Reaper showed up..."

"No way the Blood Reaper actually saved you...
That makes no sense-
They kill everyone!"

"...well it's the truth..."

Midoriya sighed, "I guess this is better than a classroom of crying kids.
Though I wish they'd all fall silent."
He glanced over at Iida who seemed to be in deep thought.

"Oh.
Iida I just noticed something...

How did you end up running into stain in the first place?"
Yaoyorozu asked as it seemed odd that he'd run into him out of nowhere.

Midoriya put his head down and hid his face in his arms.
The grin that had struck his face was too wicked for anyone to see.
"He was there for revenge for his brother.
How will he reply to this?
I mean, can a hero in training really admit he had been trying to find the villain to kill him himself?
No...
Because that isn't heroic in human values.
Killing isn't acceptable."

Iida choked on his words as he struggled to come up with a good excuse as to why he was there.
He took a deep breath in and sighed.
"I saw pro hero native...
I walked into the alleyway and found him bleeding out I was about to go get help!

But I didn't see stain until the last minute and that's when he attacked me.."
He lied.

"If anyone in this class is smart they'll realize that stain only goes after adult heroes.
Not teen kids in training.

The most he'd ever tell any hero in training is to give up before they get older.
Cause once they're older he won't hesitate to kill them."
Midoriya thought to himself as he peaked outside his arms.
