Chapter 5. To Be Useful Again

Katsuki Bakugo P.O.V
As my parents were talking about Deku's situation I find myself looking out of the window. Tch. It's stupid what he did. Trying to kill himself. What was he thinking. He's just making me parents worry! It's enough that we took him in after his mother died but now we have to pay for his medication and shit!? Tch. As I growl quietly to myself I see a figure fall past the window. What the fuck. I stand up suddenly as I receive looks from everyone in the room.
"Oi. Did anyone else see that?"
"See what Katsuki?"
"A person just fell past the window!"
"What?"
The doctor went over to the window, his eyes widening from the sight.
"What is it?"
My father asked as he goes to look as well.
"Midoriya's jumped!"
"W-What..?"
I don't know what came over me but I found myself running out of the room and down to the entrance of the hospital as quickly as my legs could carry myself. I brace myself for the sight of a dead Deku but instead I just see a pool of blood while people worriedly whispered amongst themselves. My parents soon came down and stood next to me. My mother's hand lay upon my shoulder.
"Katsuki Wha-"
"Deku's Gone."
"What?"
"He disappeared."
"But he jumped Shouldn't he-"
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!"

Izuku Midoryia's P.O.V
I awoke in an empty room, on a bed that felt like plastic. Light filled my vision as I sat up, the mattress slightly sticking onto me. Where am I? Shouldn't I be dead? I jumped from a 25 story building. I feel no pain. I'm as good as new... What happened. As I clutch my head, trying to remember how I got here to see if that gave me an idea on where I was, a man with brunette hair and piercing golden eyes enter the empty room. I found him strange. He wore a mask that looked like a toucan's beak and white gloves. Was he a Clean freak?
"Don't mind the mask. It's to keep the filth out."
Oh so he was a clean freak.
"Where am I? And who are you?"
"Where you are is unimportant and all you need to know is to call me Overhaul."
"Overhaul..?"
He nods.
"Why am I here?"
"I saved you."
"... I didn't ask to be saved. I jumped for a reason."
"Okay, Okay. I admit. I had my own reasons for doing that."
"What reasons?"
"I see your potential."
"Potential..?"
"Yes.. Izuku Midoriya, you'll see that you will be quite useful to the yakuza."
"T-The Yakuza!?"
He nods.
"Welcome to the Shie Hassaikai."
"This is a Yakuza base....?"
"Yes."
"It doesn't look like what I imagined... it's a lot.. cleaner.."
"I don't care much for filth so I keep it clean."
"Makes sense.."
W-Wait why am I so calm!? I'm in a Yakuza's base for crying out for loud!
"Why did you save me..? What potential do you see in me. I'm just a quirkless kid that tried to kill himself."
Overhaul Laughs as he makes his way to the door, stopping just before and turning back to me.
"You'll see, Izuku Midoriya."
And with that he leaves the room. Did he seriously just leave me unattended!? I could easily run away. Doesn't he want me? I guess I'm not that important.. I glance down at my wrist but what was before my eyes shocked me.
M-My scars.. They disappeared!?
I search around my arms and other places I have cut like my stomach and thighs. They're gone? Well not all of them..
The really old ones stayed.
"...But what happened..?"
"It was my quirk..."
Huh? I lift my head to the direction the voice came from to find the source.
"Eri!?"
"Hi.. Deku."
"What are you doing here!?"
"My grandfather was the former boss of this.. Overhaul was told to keep eye on me before he fell into a coma.."
"What about your parents?"
"..."
"..I see it's a sensitive topic. Sorry for asking."
"What about your parents?"
"Oh.. I haven't seen my father since I was really young and my mother passed away last year."
"..."
"Oh! Don't be sorry that you asked or anything! It's fine! I mean I'm not quite over my mother's death but don't worry about it and-"
As I start to ramble on Eri interrupted me with her words.
"I made my father disappear and my mother abandoned me when I was 2 years old."
"Oh.. sorry to bring that up."
Eri flashes me a smile that is dripping of fakeness.
"It's fine! I hardly remember it!"
A lie... I think she's forgotten what I'm like. I know what she is doing as I've done the exact same.
"If you say so.."
A white lie to make her feel better of course.
She flashes a small smile. One that's real this time however.
"So what did you mean about me being saved and my scars disappearing doing with your quirk?"
"Oh right.. my quirk is that I rewind time for an object or person. I still don't have complete control over it so I went to far and your scars disappeared."
"That's such a cool quirk!"
"E-Eh?"
"Oh.. sorry.."
I laugh nervously.
"I really admire quirks.. because I was born without one so... I have a journal with different people's quirks as I used to take notes on them.. well I used to.."
"That's so cool!"
I smile as I see the sparkle in Eri's eyes.
"It's the only thing I've been really useful at as you can't do much things without a quirk nowadays."
"I think that's you don't need to have a quirk to be useful!"
"Just learn another way to do it! I mean they did it like that before quirks were around right?"

Is this what Overhaul meant when he said he saw my potential?

That even though I'm quirkless I had other ways of doing things..

Was I finally going to be useful..?

Hey guys! So I've decided that this will have TodoDeku incorporated into this as I have thought of an opening for it and it helps for the storyline to progress. So if you don't agree with my choice feel free to stop reading my story. If your okay with this adaptation, keep reading! It won't happen until later chapters though so stayed tuned!
Thanks for reading!
