『wait for me』

I could heard the heroes. Are they are coming to save me? After two or maybe three days are they finally coming? I'll be free!

... I want them to find me. I want to be saved this place scares me and I'm afraid off what may happen. I'm stuck. And they're messing with my head.

I'm not a villain! I never will be and my captures know that. I'm treated in so many confusing ways I can't tell if their intentions are good or not. I'd rather not find out. Granted these people have cared for me more that most people have. They don't care that I don't have a quirk. A man said it would be easier that way. That I was perfect.

There's talk about training but I don't know who or what. The boss guy calls me a side quest and his greatest pawn. He also never uses my name. I keep telling him it but he never remembers. To him I'm pet or npc.

They promised to saved Kacchan, and Kacchan was saved, so for that I owe them.

A deal with the devil they called it.

They took me away. In broad daylight with heroes all around and no one did anything. They let me be taken as if I'm a villain too.

They haven't necessarily been villainous towards me but tension is rising and a big man has been talking to me every now and then. He knows everything about me and call me his precious toy. His doll or a green eyed creation.

He scares me, so much I dread having to talk with him. He says the nicest and sweetest things with a voice that strikes fear into my heart. He talks about the future and all the things he wants to accomplish. He talked about all the things he wants to do together after modifications have been made. He told me he knows a doctor. Then he apologises every time, says he never wanted to hurt me and everything he does is for me and only me.

He twists my mind. He's manipulating it and moulding it. He always seems so satisfied. I have to snap out of it every time our talks end. It's getting harder to do. I'm scared to loose my mind to this man. He seems so dangerous.

Are some of the things he said true? I find myself questioning it. It's not like loads of people would miss me! Would there be people that missed me if I was here?

Will I be stuck here?

Mom.

Kacchan.

Auntie and uncle.

Will they see me again?

If I'm good could I visit them? Should I ask but the man?

No he seems set on talking away all my freedom. He says he has to protect me from the harsh reality. Talks like I'm still five years old. I never know how to react or respond when he talks to me like that. Maybe it's part of the mind games. Or maybe he's trying to be nice. Either way I'd prefer if he'd stop.

This "league" hasn't pressured me into joining. All they have done is

Convince me I'm where I should be. The man tells me stories, things I've done in the past. I don't know how they have so much information on me. It's almost like this whole situation was planned from the beginning.

The people I've met here are weird in their own way. This man called Dabi he brings me dinner says he's new around here. I'm not allowed out of the room otherwise I'd be punished for bad behaviour at least that's the threat.

And a school girl called Toga she brings me breakfast. She likes my hair colour. Says I'm cute. I wake up to her staring at me. I find it a little creepy how obsessed she is with me. Always calling me cutie. The man says they care for me and are trying to keep me happy. That I should get along with them.

They hide what they've been doing to keep me more comfortable. And yesterday Toga said she'd even try to style my hair.

Then the boss or boss jr. Shigaraki is like...

Im told he's my older sibling. It's not true. We look nothing alike and my mom didn't have a lost child. Just me. But that's what this man said. He has a more violent nature but hasn't done anything but get a little angry when I almost beat his high score on a game. It was scary he just made it disappear into ashes. The controller got disintegrated. Later I hear they had gone out and stole some new ones. I didn't leave my room again that day. I was too scared.

There's two others Twice and compress they are nice enough. I don't see them much more in what toga talks about. They handle the more serious things well not twice I heard he likes to hang out with toga more than doing work.

And kurogiri is the second in command. Definitely the most sensible from what I've gathered and very cleaver too. He can calm down any fight and only uses violence if he has to. He cooks and cleans for everyone and handles shigaraki the best. He brings me lunch and snacks. He's the one to open communications with this man. A portal appears and then the man is there.

I've only been here a few days I think but they really are trying to make me comfortable, I'm not saying what they are doing is right but they seem less scary then before. It's bad I know they basically kidnapped me. But if I went back now... the man says everyone i know would call me a villain, I'd go back to be bullied and I'd be disappointing everyone by living. That's why he's keeping me locked here. To keep me safe.

I'm so caught up in my head I barely have time to process Dabi and toga yelling down the hall.

"IZUKU WE HAVE TO GO! LIKE NOW!"

I snap out of it and head towards my door. Is it unlocked? I hesitate before swinging it open. Has it always been unlocked? I snap my head left and right, everyone is panicking. I step out and start down the stairs into the bar.

I freeze mid step as a powerful aura hits me. Endeavour, the number two pro hero is here. He stands strong with flames surrounding him. He's glaring at the group of villains and looks ready to attack. Is here here to save me?

I gulp back my nerves and walk in carefully. I don't know what to do so try crossing to the villains but my steps are shaky and I soon gain the pro heroes attention.

"Him...Is that the missing kid?" Endeavour asks in a gruff voice to the other pros just arriving. They glance over and give me a sad look. Im frozen in spot not knowing what to do. I'm shaking. The hero nods to endeavour as he lets out a laugh.

"Looks like he was a villain." He sneers at me. "I'm-im..." I start shaking more unable to get words out. This is the most scary situation I've ever been in. "I'm not." I say quietly.

"We kidnapped him. He couldn't handle being a villain!" Toga screams out.

"Yeah he's no villain! You're the only villain here!" Dabi shouted to the flame hero. Practically spitting at him.

I try moving towards the heroes

but endeavours blue eyes burn into my every move making me give up immediately. Out of the corner of my eye I see Kurogiri opens up a portal and tries to get me closer to him. "This way." He whispers.

Is he helping me? Letting me go?

"Yeah we just made Izuku trust us ever heard of brain washing and touring?" Toga pitches in again, sarcasm dripping from every word. It seems they really hate endeavour.

I'm also confused to what their saying but I keep making my way towards them. I take slow shaky steps until i'm about a foot away from the portal. "Brainwashing?" The other hero's murmured. Im about to take the final step when something hot wraps around and burns my ankle. I let out a scream, falling to the floor in agony.

"Shoto won't be happy about this but oh well, I never liked you. A pest and quirkless? You should have never met my project." He snears letting the flames spread through my leg.

I gasp in a breath only to push it out in a scream. "A-stop! please stop! I-I'm not a villain stop it stop it! STOP IT! I wanted to be saved!" I start to cry out. The other heroes start yelling at endeavour to stop and the villains start running over.

The pain is so strong I feel every nerve spasming as the flames crawl further up. I feel the heat getting stronger and it dose little to help. All of my lower half feels numb as the pain comes and goes in waves.

"Please I'm scared!" I try once again this time more quiet. I hear Dabi fighting with endeavour and shigaraki helping him out while the others try to put the flames on me out. I can't help but smile at their kindness. "T-thanks." I croak out.

I feel myself falling in and out of conscious. My shirt catch fire and my body burns. I can hear the league shouting and the pro heroes trying to pry endeavour off me. It's too late. I can feel the fire wrap around my neck. My legs are numb the nerves destroyed. I already knew my time was up the moment endeavour looked at me.

"Endeavour release your flames immediately!" A strong voice booms. Is that all might? Will he save me?

I hope this ends soon. It's a weirdly welcoming feeling. It promises numbness my body so desperately craves. The burning turns to a gentle warmth that blows in my face. As I lose all other senses. The shouting fades into the background and a peaceful quiet washes over.

It's so gentle and careful I haven't felt a touch like this in so long. I feel like I'm floating gently rising higher and higher. I open my eyes to see clouds parting slightly. I must be high up if I'm at cloud level. i briefly look down to the chaotic seen. Before the clouds cover it. I watch myself below. A peaceful expression on my face as I get covered in flames and burns. It makes my stomach twist and lurch. I want to gag, look away yet my eyes are now glued to my body as It twitches and turns the flames cover up my face completely and then die out. There's not much left of me.

A new figure emerges from the portal and the man appears. He mutters lowly but I can hear him. He breaks the silence. "How inconvenient."

All that's left is a poor excused a body that now looks like nothing. No feature are visible. The smile is gone. My life is gone. The man walks over ignoring all shouts and chaos. "My poor dear boy. My Precious Izuku. Don't worry I'll fix you." He says placing a hand onto my head. His eyes look up to find me in the sky. He can see me? He smiles gently before returning to my body.

The villains are screaming out and tears are in almost everyone's eyes. Endeavour stands proud as every one sinks to the floor or nearby object. Toga gags collapsing. The heroes look away some throw up. It's a disgusting sight. The remaining hero along with some of the police finally get endeavour away from everyone including what's left of me. The smell must be awful. Burnt flesh.

No one seems to notice the man who is slowly letting a warm pink light wrap around my body. It becomes brighter as it covers what's left of me.

People just stand shocked at what has happened. A simple rescue mission turns deadly then a boy who was injured is floating and pink. It finally hits me as the villains warp away and the medical team arrives that I'm too far gone.

Possibly Truly gone.

I won't be able to see or speak to my mom again. I won't be able to hug her. I won't be able to thank her for all her love. I won't be able to tell Kacchan that he's my hero. I can no longer sneak out to shoto. I won't be able to do anything. Ever. again.

It's a depressing thought that spirals out of control too fast for my liking. I pry my eyes away as my body starts disappearing, the medical staff and heroes look around desperately for the person doing this but it's too late my physical body disappears.

I can remember all the times I wanted to die. When all the pressure was too much. I remember the late night talks with Kacchan that helped me to stop crying. I remember Shoto cuddling me until I fell asleep. The way I smiled softly at them. A smile I kept especially for each of them.

I remember in middle school planning my death out after opening my locker and spider Lilies fell out. They had always been my favourite flower even with there connotations I still adored them. Yet opening a locker to ten stems falling out made me sad. The fact I was giving flowers for mourning the dead when I was alive was a feeling I hated. I remember finally working up the courage and talking to my mom.

The tears we spilt as we talked. I remember we slept together that night clinging to each other not ever wanting to leave.

And I guess I really didn't want to leave. It took death to remind me that Life is too short.

I realised this fact far too late.

Our bodies are temporary. Bad things happen and people can be misguided. If I think back to all the bad things that happens I'm surprised I didn't end myself. It's a miracle honestly. Maybe Kacchan will be happy I'm gone. No longer a burden no longer clinging to him. He won't have to protect me anymore.

But now what?

Am I free now? Dose death free a person?

I don't feel free. I feel weak. Like I could crumble at anytime. My emotions seem to be going crazy I feel the dull burning pain starting to come back I feel like I'm falling. Like someone is pulling at my life line and dragging me down. Falling too far. Faster and faster. I look around to see the world fading the longer I fall. The gentle warmth turns into burning heat. I try to scream but nothing comes out. I try to cry but my eyes stay dry. I'm falling but no wind whips through my hair. I'm falling but my stomach doesn't twist in knots. I see a spot on the ground dimly light. Is that where I'll fall too. Is that where I'll land?

No ending comes it just endlessly painful falling in the dark. My hands frantically grab at air trying to stop. I'm terrified but my heart seems too still. I get more panicked the closer the ground comes. It's seconds away and I'm about to hit it-

I pass straight through.

This is way too much for me.

I wake up with a start in my living room. Was I asleep? Was it a nightmare. I look around frantically I must have fallen asleep on the sofa wait- I'm not panting or trying to gain my breath back like I usually would. I'm not crying either.

No- I have no breathing to steady, no sweaty forehead, no racing heart. No crazy heartbeat...

That's strange. Wasn't it a dream? Well more a nightmare but... No. No! the pain was too real. Did I not die? A strange sudden sadness fills me. Did I still wish I was dead? Did I secretly still want it to stop. After all I learnt. After what I saw- My legs! I look down to check my legs and stumble back.

No I don't stumble I float?

I was just in the living room and now, I'm in the middle of the kitchen island. I lift my hand gently and place it against the counter. Straight through.

am I a ghost? No- No! This isn't what's supposed to happen! I'm supposed to be dead. I watched him kill me! This isn't right! This isn't right! I shake my head pulling at my hair. I keep floating backwards until I've made it through the wall. I look around frantically expecting to fall down. I'm floating in mid air. I can't be like this. This is a joke a dream! I can't be a ghost because they aren't real.

I'm not real!

I'm dead.

It should be over.

I frantically look around for anyone. I see a few workers on the building complex across the road from where I float mid air. I race towards them. I end up going straight through them. I wait for a reaction. For anything!

One shivers and they all look at each other. One looks around before landing it's eyes on me. FINALLY! I wave my arms around hoping to get a reaction. The man smiles kindly waving back. Ah he- he can see me! This is a joke! Someone's quirk maybe. Haha I can tur- I'm cut off by someone walking through me.

No... no! No! No!

I was so close. I thought this was over. I didn't want to still be around. I rush around leaving chaos in my wake. I rush back to my apartment phasing through the wall. I try to collapse onto the floor but it ends up

With my libs contorting weirdly. Last try- I put my hand to my chest and wait. This is my last option. Where is it? Where is it! "No..." I whisper out.

No heartbeat, no breath.

I'm

Truly

dead.
