[Time: 8:34 A.M]
[The Next Day...]
"Where am I?"
I opened my eyes to a dark room.
There was nothing but dark.
I was tied to a metal chair who held my arms, hands, feet, legs and neck.
And, of course, it was anti-quirk, what else.
When my eyes finally adapted to the dark, I looked to my sides and saw my 5 comrades, all knocked out, in the same position as I was in.
I knew very well where we were.
U.A Academy.
I recognized the metallic room we were in with the thick window in front of us. On the other side, there was another empty room, with a table and a few chairs.
"I knew this would happen someday. We were getting too reckless."
I sighed.
- Wake up, idiots! I screamed.
As soon as I said that, the 5 of them jumped on their chair.
- Wha-
- What the fuck? said Shoto with an angry voice, struggling.
-Why are we tied? asked Iida.
- Stop struggling, it's fucking useless, I said.
- We're at U.A right? asked Ochako.
I looked at her dead in the eyes.
- Yeah.
- Fuck! screamed Shoto.
- We messed up real bad this time, said Momo.
- Let's just escape~! said Tsuyu.
- It's a hero academy you dummy, said Momo. It's useless to try.
- Aw, yeah, you're right.
I heard some sound coming from the other side.
- Shut up, all 5 of you, now and don't talk until I tell you to! I screamed.
As soon as I said that, the door on the other side of the window opened.
And there entered All Might (in his weak form), Present Mic, Eraser Head, Midnight and the Principal.
When All Might locked eyes with me, I noticed the sadness and distress in his eyes.
How he looked devastated.
A sudden wave of shame suddenly washed me down. I looked at the floor, not showing any emotions.
I couldn't bare to look at him anymore, it brought back too many memories I wished to erase.
- Hello, villains.
The Principal's voice was coming out of a speaker in each corner of the room.
- I have a few questions for you, he continued, still keeping a calm and somewhat cheerful voice.
Nobody said anything.
Alright, first question! What are your full names?
I let out a single chuckle.
I nodded, giving the signal to speak.
- Shoto.
- Momo.
- Tsuyu.
- Ochako.
- Iida.
I was the only one left.
- Izuku Midoriya, I answered.
This brought surprised to their faces. I grinned at them.
- Thank you very much! Next question, do you remember anything about the U.A Academy?
- Only that all of these fake heroes and students betrayed us all. They left us to suffer! screamed Momo in anger.
- Yeah! shouted Iida.
- I remember everything, I said.
Everybody stopped talking and froze.
I looked at the principal dead in the eyes and he looked straight into mines too.
- Hmpf, very well. Next question is; did you suffer from any injuries in the last 5 months?
I looked at the five of them and shook my head. They understood that they could not talk.
- Well, some minor injuries here and there, if you push aside the fact that we were tortured for 3 weeks, I said.
The heroes just looked down at the floor. All Might was also on the verge of breaking down.
- Last question. Are you the infamous group of criminals, Kill Dance?
I kept a straight face and answered immediately.
- Yes.
- Thank you for cooperation!
All the heroes left the room.
There was a silence for a few minutes.
Then, Shoto talked.
- Hey, Izuku! What did you mean when you said you remembered everything.
- It's exactly as it is. I remember everything from A to Z.
No on talked for a few seconds.
- Then, can you tell us what really happened?
- Yeah, I don't feel like Shigaraki told us the right thing a few months back, said Iida.
- Basically, we were kidnapped by them, tortured until we lost our sanity, and they used us as their pawns. And the heroes never bothered to come and save us.
- W-What? You're lying! screamed Shoto.
- Believe what you want, I don't give a fuck.
- B-But, if Izu says it, maybe it's real? asked Tsuyu.
Silence.
- It's weird, said Iida.
- Ughhh, I just want to get out of heeeeeere! complained Tsuyu with her annoying voice.
- I want to punch both Shigaraki and the heroes, said Iida.
- THIS IS TOO CONFUSING! shouted Shoto at the top of his lungs.
After that, no one talked for a few minutes.
I looked at my comrades faces.
Iida had a semi-confused and semi-angry face.
Ochako was looking at the floor, visibly concerned.
Momo had a face of pure anger.
Tsuyu had a mix of sadness, confusion, anger and craziness.
And finally, Shoto had kept a straight face, frowning at the same time.
...
Me? I wasn't sure.
I didn't know how to feel about all of this.
A quarter felt happy to see the heroes.
Another one was raging with anger.
One was crying.
And the last one was filled with confusion.
[...]
- Izuku? asked Shoto.
- ...
- Our old class, the 1-A class, could you maybe tell me who they are?
I looked down on the floor.
- Hmpf.
I sighed.
- You could say we all had a good relationship with one another. Some details are still blurry, I don't remember much apart from that.
No one talked anymore after that.
Tsuyu, Momo and Shoto, who were usually so energetic, full of life and always acted like pure idiots, were now looking like they had been crushed by a ton of bricks.
"What a shitty day."
[...]
After what seemed to be an eternity, the heroes finally made their appearance again. This time, they didn't looked as down as earlier.
They were accompanied by another person the Principal presented.
- Villains, this is Mashura, a detective that comes straight from the United States. She has a lie detector quirk that will allow us to know the truth. You better answer correctly. Aizawa, you can go.
The detective looked straight into my eyes and it was kind of awkward. I tried to ignore her as the hero started to ask his questions.
- I'll start. Izuku Midoriya.
When he pronounced my name, I rose my head.
- I'll ask questions and you answer.
I kept a straight, unbothered face.
- First question, were you with the League of Villains?
I didn't respond instantly. I looked at the lie detector straight in the eyes before answering.
- Yes.
- Was the leader Tomura Shigaraki?
- Yes.
- Do you like the villains there?
I hesitated. I had to tell the truth.
- No.
Aizawa paused and looked at the detective. The detective nodded, indicating that I was telling the truth.
- Do you like the heroes here.
- No.
Again, the detective didn't say anything.
-Hmpf, do you like your comrades?
- Yes.
- Did you receive a kind of education in the last five months?
- Yes.
"Why the fuck is he asking that?"
- Do you still want to become a hero?
I paused before answering that. I knew that this was my goal, 5 months back, along with Shoto, Tsuyu, Ochako, Iida and Momo.
But unfortunately, it wasn't anymore.
- No.
As I answered that question, I looked at All Might for a split second.
He looked destroyed.
