...
"You want him to reside here."
Nezu said, staring at eraserhead to see if he had gotten it right.
He nodded his head, "yeah. There isn't anywhere else for him to go.."
"While I understand and will allow you to bring him here, there's a small issue."
Nezu paused, allowing the information to process.
"What's the issue?"
"He can't stay here after school hours.
The building will be empty.
I'll allow him to stay here during the day but after school there won't be anywhere for him to go."
Nezu explained.
"...you're right.
That is an issue..."
Eraserhead glanced at the pitiful boy who laid sound asleep.
He sighed, "then I guess I have no other choice."
"What is it?"
"He'll live with me."
"Well that sure is a solution.
But will you be able to care for a 10 year old boy?
No offense Aizawa, but you hardly take care of yourself."
"I'll be able to care for him enough that he'll be safe from any harm.
Keeping him away from public eye is what'll keep him safe.
AFO wouldn't expect him to be adopted by a pro hero, and if that was something he expected he wouldn't expect it from someone like me.
My house is secure.
And during the day time he'll be here.
I think it's a good idea"
Aizawa said, explaining his thought process.
"If it's something you're willing to do then I won't stop you.
I'll increase your paycheck as well.
Seeing as how now you have a kid to take care of, extra cash is necessary."
"Thank you"
"Yes, now could you tell me some more details about him?"
"Like what?"
"What he's endured, how he escaped. Just details about him"
"Ah.
Yesterday night he broke out the building and ran away.
He used his quirk to speed himself up but it was causing problems.
I stopped him and that's when he begged me not to take him back. So I took him to the police station and after a quick questioning we found out he and his brother were both being abused by AFO.
He was experimented on.
He said that his brother had a quirk o grant wishes and was forced to grant wishes no matter what they were or he'd be tortured.
He was sick of the treatment and escaped but he brother didn't want to come along, something along the lines of not deserving to escape.
He escaped so he could get help for the both of them but AFO fled the scene before we had a chance to rescue his brother.
That's pretty much it..."
"What a difficult life he's endured thus far...
And he has a brother.
Such a strong quirk...- do you think he'll be forced to bring his brother back with his quirk?"
"There's a chance. It's a worry of mine."
"Hm.
Then wouldn't it be smart to place some form of tracker on him just in case it happens?"
"It would be but I don't want to scare him.
I'll ask him if that's something he'd like to do, if it isn't then we really can't force him."
"Fair point...
Now.
You've adopted him, but will you adopt his brother when time comes to save him?"
"I can't seperate the two.
Though, if we manage to rescue his brother and arrest AFO and the 2 villainesses then there won't be any issues sending them off to a shelter so they can get adopted into a nice family"
"Ah I see.
That makes sense.
Well then.
I suppose you have paper work to sort out.
And a class to teach.
Seeing as how he's asleep, you can leave him in here.
He won't be a bother to me"
"Thank you, principal nezu.
I will see you later."
Aizawa walked out to go teach his class.
"I hope he doesn't wake up scared, this time I won't be able to be by his side. Unless he sleeps until my lunch break.
It's in 3 hours.
Hm.
Seeing how tired he was and the fact he's young, he actually might not wake up until later.
Well that's good. I'll be by his side so he won't be scared all over again."
_________________________________________
2 hours passed by, nezu sat in his office and continued to work as Bakugo slept beside him.
Things were quiet...
Up until Bakugo got a bad dream.
"N-no...
Don't
.... I don't wanna...!"
He shouted from his sleep.
Nezu glanced over, tears streamed down his face. Even though he was still asleep.
He hopped out of his chair and walked over to Bakugo.
"Hm... How do I help-"
Nezu was cut off when Bakugo released an explosion into the air out of fear.
"Wow.
That was a strong attack, especially for a kid his age."
"AAAH...-!"
His eyes snapped open, adrenaline courses through his veins as he quickly sat up and clutched the blanket in hand.
He looked around, "...where am I...-?"
His eyes met that of Nezu's who had been staring at him with a warm expression.
"Hello!"
Nezu smiled.
"...who are you...?"
"I am principal nezu. I'm a friend of eraserhead. Don't worry, you're completely safe here"
Nezu replied, hopping to the seat next to him.
"...where am I?"
"UA high.
This is a hero school for aspiring heroes to go to.
It has the highest security in Japan so you don't have to worry about anyone getting to you here."
Nezu said, pulling out a snack bar from his pocket and handing it to Bakugo.
"Did you guys find my brother yet...!"
"I apologize, we're still working on that. But don't worry about that, for now try focusing on getting better yourself.
Is there anything you'd like to talk about?"
"I have a question..."
Bakugo paused, glancing to see if it was okay to ask.
Nezu nodded his head.
"Where am I going to stay...?
My dad...
He'll find me... And he'll force me to come back...
I don't know what to do..."
"Well kid, that's not something you'll have to worry about"
"... really?"
"Yep.
You'll reside here at UA"
"And he won't know I'm here...? Or try to take me back...?"
"We haven't disclosed your location to the public, and he can't get you even if he wanted to.
This place has such high security that not even all might could break in if he wanted to"
"Who's all might?"
"...it appears that your information is limited.
Were you taught anything during your time with the villains?"
"I know math,literacy, and history.
And I know how to fight...?
Er...
That's about it."
"What kind of math do you know?"
"Fractions"
"Ah, so you're on level.
Alright.
Well, is there anything you'd like to do as of now?"
"...I wanna save my brother right now..."
_________________________________________
Midoriya screamed in agony as he cried in the cold basement, alone.
He felt chills run down his spine as he sat there chained up against the wall.
His crystals were forcefully exposed, AFO would come periodically and try to make him grant a wish he didn't want to grant.
The wish of bringing Katsuki back.
Midoriya refused to grant it, he couldn't bring his brother back to hell.
(Tw 🛑)
Like for the rest of the chapter.
He felt stabs strike his brain, hot tears seared down his face as he struggled to even breathe.
The crystals made his hands throb in pain.
He threw up, again, all over the ground and himself.
He could feel his muscles tense up as an electric like feeling ran through them.
It felt as if someone has been trying to pluck his eyes out.
It felt as if someone had been stabbing his gut.
It felt as if his legs were on fire...
And despite that.
He wouldn't grant the wish.
Even though he knew what was coming each time...
Even though he knew he'd have to go through it again.
He simply couldn't ruin his brother's happiness.
He gasped for air as the pain came to a stop.
He let out a half relieved sigh as he felt everything calm down.
"Finally...
The pain... Has stopped...
I can't ever bring Kacchan back here...
I can never...
Never...
No matter how much pain this stupid quirk puts me through."
he looked up as he heard the door squeak open.
He could feel his heart beat out of his chest as AFO walked in with Inko.
Izuku could feel his muscles tense up as he tried to cover up his crystals.
But he couldn't.
He fingers were forcefully chained up against the wall as well.
It was impossible to form a fist.
"Hello brat"
AFO said, dragging Inko beside him.
He held a knife in his other hand and dragged inko out with another.
The door locked shut behind him as AFO stood before him with inko Infront of him.
"If you don't grant my wish, I will kill her."
AFO said, holding the knife to Inko's neck.
Tears streamed down her face as she stared at Izuku pitifully.
Izuku stared mortified, "n-no...! Why are you doing this...!? Why are you making me choose between them?!"
He screamed, frustrated.
"I'm only asking you to do a simple task, I don't know why you wont do it.
Bring Katsuki back.
That's it.
I didn't ask you to torture him.
I didn't ask you to kill him.
I didn't ask you to stop talking to him.
All I said was to bring him back.
Simple.
But you don't want to follow a simple command so you have to be punished"
AFO hissed, walking up to izuku.
"Stop...!"
Izuku thrashed around but it was no use.
AFO made contact with the crystals.
"I wish for Katsuki Bakugo to return here at once."
AFO said, repeating his wish.
"...if I bring Kacchan back he'll be tortured again...
It looks like dad is going to kill mom regardless of what I do...
She must've messed up...
But she won't be tortured to death.
She'll have a quick death to his knife.
If I bring Kacchan here, he'll be tortured and not even killed.
...and mom is a villain...
Who hurts people like dad...
But I don't wanna kill her...!
But I don't wanna grant the wish...
....I guess I have no choice."
Midoriya thought to himself as AFO walked back over to Inko and pressed the dagger onto her neck.
She could feel the cold blade on her skin, she gulped and stared beggingly.
"Grant the wish.
Or
She
Dies."
AFO said, wearing a sicking smile.
Midoriya took a deep yet shaky breath in.
His heart beat out of his chest, he felt as if he could just throw up right then and there.
Even though there was nothing left to even vomit.
"...n-o..."
Midoriya said, a bit boldly.
AFO let out a cocky laugh as Midoriya watched the color drain from Inko's face.
He didn't want to kill her, he didn't want to see her die either.
But AFO was going to kill her regardless.
He knew how he operated...
"Well then.
It looks like you killed your mother then."
AFO laughed angrily as he slit her throat.
"I'm sorry... Izuku..."
Inko said, stating her last words as the knife slashed through.
The quirk pain kicked in immediately after as he felt the same pain as before attack his system as his mother bled out and died Infront of him.
He let out a blood curdling scream as AFO grabbed the knife and stabbed her back.
He walked out from there, leaving the corpse behind for izuku to stare at.
"I'm sorry...!
I'm sorry...!
I'm so sorry...!
Mom...
I'm sorry...!
Please forgive me...!
I didn't want you to die...!
I really didn't...!
Please come back...!
You were the only one left here that loved me...!
Please...!
I'm sorry...!"
He screamed and cried in pain, as he dry heaved once more.
The dry heaving hurt, it hurt more than throwing up.
Especially considering he had already fractured his ribs to the violent vomit from moments ago...
"I...
I don't deserve to even be alive anymore...
What's the point in living knowing I killed the person that loved me the most...!
I'm...evil..."
