"What. The. FUCK!"
Izuku slammed his fist to the ground as he clenched his throat with the other, his face distraught looking in every meaning of the word.
He suddenly threw up harshly, coughing tirelessly afterwards.
"W-what Was that-" Izuku said as he breathed heavily. His throw up suddenly gone after he looked away.
"Did... did I just suffocate?"
=========
As Izuku and bakugo silently walked back home together slightly apart from one another, the rattling of the sewer lid behind Izuku made bakugo look back.
"IZUKU WATCH OU-"
The slime that started to make its way into Izuku's body felt disgusting, his gagging not stopping the slimy substance. Not even a few seconds in he was dead of suffocation. All might a mere 5 seconds late.
=========
"I feel the pain of my deaths, good to know- 3 deaths later-" Izuku gagged just thinking about the sensation. This means he would need to redo it all over again.
Again.
God not again.
Izuku hugged his knees in the black empty abyss that was his quirk- no, this wasn't a quirk, this was a curse. He only got 19 score. On this 4th run.
He had tried so hard too.
After having an existential crisis for what seemed like hours Izuku got to his feet and looked at the menu again.
"..." Izuku felt the sudden urge to drop dead. He could do that, he thought of his time and pressed start.
=========
Izuku blinked and he was suddenly on his way home to school. His body beaten and bruised. Izuku stopped in his tracks to look around. He looked at his hands seeing that he was much younger now.
He believed he was around the age of 6 or 7 maybe. It didn't matter honestly, he just needed something, anything. To stop this painful curse from making him live on.
Izuku's eyes grew dull, he dropped his bag in an alleyway and just slip down the crooked brick wall.
He wanted to cry but what would that do. Help him? God no. He didn't have any friends, he didn't feel any fear when thugs walked past with stern looks.
Though one person stopped in front of Izuku, kneeling down in front of him. Izuku looked up. He knew who this was, though the scars the man owned where less prominent, but he knew.
But Izuku couldn't seem to find the will to care.
=========
When dabi had started to smoke out of his cigar, he had just started on them too, a kid walked right through the smoke as though they where use to it.
Dabi did not like that. He looked at the kid as he dropped his bag with little effort. The kid looked just like dabi did a year ago and it got under Dabi's skin so much he decided to walk up.
He didn't really know why. He was suppose to be evil, not caring about anyone or anything.
He kneeled down to the kid, making him look up at dabi. There was no fear, just a whole storm of emotions he thought he'd never see again.
"Hey kid... what is someone like you doing way out here?" The little kid responded quietly. "I don't wanna go home anymore. Its too much." Dabi didn't know exactly what the kid meant but if the injures all along the kids exposed legs where something to go by this kid wasn't in a safe place.
"Do you have anyone you trust?" Dabi asked a little softer this time. The kid let out a small heartless laugh. "Who would want useless garbage around..."
The kid soon continued. "But... no I don't. Your a villain right?" The kid asked, his eyes staying the same. Dabi just nodded, unsure how else to really respond.
"Kill me. Please."
Now that was alarming. "Sorry but I have a strict no killing policy. What I can do is take you with me, it won't be perfect but ya know..." the kid looked very confused.
"But you killed so many in the war? Oh wait that's later. Pay me no mind." Dabi flinched at the word war, then squinting, ask later.
"So that a yes to coming with me or no?" The kid looked over at dabi with a small small tilt of his lip. "Sure why not."
Dabi stood up and helped the kid up too. "It's actually right over here, I just came out for a quick smoke." As they entered the surprisingly big apartment the kid looked around. "You can call me deku by the way."
Dabi frowned at the name. An insult?
"How about I just call you rabbit instead if your planning on using nick names." The one now know as rabbit glanced over at dabi with a puzzled look.
"You seem like a rabbit, change it if you want-" "no no... I'll keep it."
That was the first time the kid let out a small smile. Though if asked, it's called a 'tilt of the face' instead.
=========
Izuku, or now know. As rabbit, didn't quite get what was happening. The villain dabi, part of the league of villains, was acting like a completely different person then the one he saw in the war.
Though in the war everyone knew his identity thanks to him revealing it. Though no one used his real name other then his family members. The Todoroki's.
"My names to- uh- dabi." Izuku was debating if he should let dabi know he knew. Why not.
"Don't worry I already know your a Todoroki. Trust me I agree that endeavor should end up in a ditch dead." Dabi got his guard up all of a sudden. "Ok how the hell do you know so much? Are you really a kid?" Izuku looked at dabi with his cold dead eyes once again.
"User: dabi, Quirk:Blue fire that the user controls so well other users envy him. His control along with his terrifying scars let no one escape his watchful eye. Though I'm guessing that's not you yet."
"Is that your quirk or something?! What do you mean good control I burn myself every time I use my quirk!" Dabi covered his mouth at his rookie mistake. He had been a villain for a year now how did he fuck up?!
"Yeah, not sure what to call my quirk but when I die I can come back to life... and I just want it all to end!" Izuku dropped to the floor grappling his hair harshly. "WHY COULDNT I JUST STAY THE QUIRKLESS LOSER I WAS MEANT TO BE- I'm so fucking pathetic-" Dabi suddenly realized the situation.
This kid was probably older then he looked, but he was still a kid at heart, probably treated as quirkless because how could you possibly show your quirk works if you had to die to demonstrate it?
Dabi knows he's just a kid too. But that didn't make watching rabbits emotional breakdown any better. Dabi went up to rabbit and gave him a hug. It wasn't much but it got rabbit to hug back, sobbing about things dabi couldn't quite understand.
"I'm not too good at this but- there there?" Dabi said awkwardly patting rabbits back. Rabbit let out a small little chuckle, making Dabi's heart squeeze.
This poor kid...
"So what's this you said about a war?" He asked genuinely curious.
"Well, the hero's and villains went to war after the death of not only the symbol of peace, but the underground king All for one. The successors clashed on a faithful day in December marking to start of an on going war. Millions killed as the war spread through not only Asia but the entire planet. I was killed by my use to be best friend, ending up in what I like to call, 'the screen' basiclly a main menu."
Dabi felt his head spin. "Ok... wow, that's a lot... so this war- do you think you can like, stop it from happening?" Izuku looked to dabi with a blank expressions for a moment, before realizing he was a genius.
"Why didn't I think of that?! I just wanted to have friends- but with this power I could stop so many deaths!" Dabi raised an eyebrow as rabbit started to mutter out his thought process. Dabi not understanding a word.
"Your muttering..." he said with a slightly amused shoulder tap.
"Ah- sorry tell me if I do that I want to kill the habbit." Dabi could see why.
"So since you've not only stopped my waist of attempts, but showed me a new thing to look forward to, wanna join in? I can train you." Dabi looked Izuku up and down with slight amusement across his scared face.
"I had 20 years of parkour experience dont test me. You in or not?" Dabi shrugged and patted rabbits head. "Sure, why the hell not. If what your quirk does is true, then we have plenty of attempts to redo this over and over. But still let's be carful because I highly doubt you want to die."
Rabbit smirked the grin of someone who lived and breathed in hell. "Perfect. I have a plan set already."
Why does dabi feel a small wave of menace creeping off of this kid?
