From this day now on, I made a promise to myself.
I made a promise not to be a selfish person.
I was selfish, I didn't think about the others around me. My mom...
Apparently, my dad, who suddenly appeared, left again after my death. Following that, my mom became depressed. Toshinori tried to cheer her up but she was just too sad about my... "death".
- Izuku?
- Hm?
- Can you just do one single thing for me?
I looked at her and smiled slightly before nodding.
- Don't leave me ever again... my son...
I smiled and hugged her.
- Don't worry mom, I'm not leaving. Not anymore.
[...]
After that, everything seemed to have gone back to normal.
Everyone was pretty shaken by our sudden "resurrection" as it looked to them, but in the end, everything turned out okay.
We went back into the dorms and continued our lives as students.
Each one of us had decided they would finish all three years here. As for me... I agreed with that.
But becoming a hero wasn't my goal...
Years went by and now, I was finally going to graduate.
I was walking with Ochako and Tenya through the town. We were going to a café to meet with the other three rats, who had invited us to each lunch with them.
- I can't wait to graduate from this place! It was getting tiring man! said Tenya.
- Same, I said. Aizawa-sensei is a pain the ass.
Ochako laughed.
- Izu you get bored by everything and everyone, no wonder he annoyed you.
- Yeah yeah.
As we were walking, my ears catched on a noise.
I stopped dead in my tracks. The noise seemed to come from the alley right beside us.
- You ok Izu?
- Wait here...
I walked towards the dark alley. I couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, a hand flew towards me.
I dodged right in time to see him.
- Shigaraki...
He chuckled as Ochako and Tenya ran behind me.
- Long time no see, my precious little students.
- What do you want, you monster?! shouted Tenya.
- Ohhh! I just want a simple little thing...
He flashed a crooked smile at us.
- Your quirks!
He bounced at us. Thankfully, we dodged just in time.
He chuckled like a maniac non-stop.
- I WANT YOUR QUIRK! I WANT YOUR QUIRK!
He kept jumping on us, without actually fighting us seriously.
He was crazy. He looked like a drug addict.
He suddenly started muttering something, all while still laughing uncontrollably.
- Master will be happy... I need to please master... master! MASTER!
He jumped at us yet again.
He almost successfully pinned me to the ground.
- I just want to please master! Oh my sweet dear master!
"Isn't All for One in prison?"
- Speak! Who's master, Shigaraki! I shouted.
- Master? You're talking about my angel master! Ohhhhh!
He chuckled and smiled creepily.
- Master is soooo nice! Master has a son! Master's son inherited All for One's quirk instead of me! HAHAHA! But now, I have to please master! I have to give quirks to his son!
I was terrified. This wasn't Shigaraki. They must have brainwashed him. I have to learn more about this new master...
- Who is your master?
- Master? OHHH, MASTER! Master lives far far away from here! He is so nice! He gives us money and takes care of us, hihi!
I was cringing a lot at this point.
Suddenly, he started to cry.
- But master also hurt me. He hurt me! MASTER HURT ME! BUT! I still love master!
He laughed again and then suddenly continued to try and grab us again.
- HAHAHAHAHA! MASTER WILL LOVE ME!
"This is enough."
- Detroit... SMASH!
I used One for All 30% and kicked his head. He flew into a wall, knocked out instantly.
- I'll call the police, said Tenya.
On my side, I called Toshinori.
- Young Midoriya? Something's wrong?
- No, well, uh, yeah. We caught Shigaraki just now.
- Oh my. He was still alive!
- Yes... I also learned pretty useful information...
I proceeded to tell him everything I heard.
- And I thought All for One had finally been stopped... this is some very important information, thank you young Midoriya.
- No problem.
- I'm proud of you.
I smiled and ended the call.
A few minutes later, the police arrived to pick up Shigaraki.
Ochako, Tenya and I continued our walk towards the café.
- That was disturbing as hell... whispered Ochako, still shaken.
- He seemed to have been drugged, or maybe worst-
- He's been brainwashed, I said, finishing Tenya's sentence.
"Tsk."
- A shit ton of problems just added themselves to the old ones... said Ochako.
We walked by a comic book shop.
The display showed a new comic book named Secret.
I stopped to look at it.
"A brand new comic! Follow the story of an undercover detective who solves the greatest murders!"
An idea made its way into my head.
- Guys! I shouted.
I followed them as they entered the café. We all sat down at the table where Shoto, Momo and Tsuyu were.
- Hey guys, what took you so lo- started Momo.
- We caught Shigaraki!
Their jaws dropped.
- Finally!
- Aw yes~!
They jumped around in their seats.
- I had an idea, I said.
They all looked at me, waiting for me to talk. I smirked.
- We should start an undercover heroes agency.
- A what? asked Momo, confused.
I sighed.
- A hero agency with us six in it, but instead of working publicly...
Ochako smirked.
- We would be working underground, kind of like vigilantes, or assassins even, she finished.
- Exactly, I said.
- I'm down! said Tsuyu.
"Well that was quick."
- This sounds so cool! said Shoto excitedly. I'm super down man!
- At first, I thought about being a solo hero, but now that I think about it, this sounds wayyyyy better! said Momo.
The three of them cheered.
- Heck yeah! The gang will be together foreva~! said Tsuyu.
Ochako put a hand on my shoulder.
- This is a great idea.
She grinned.
- Let's uncover all this mess!
