...

"Any last words?"
Hawks asked, gripping the dagger firmly.

Tears streamed down Iida's face, he stared in disbelief.
"Hawks...
Please...
...you can't do this...
Why are you doing this...??"
Iida cried.

"Why?
The reason is simple really"
Hawks paused, watching edgeshot shake his head as he waited for him to finish the job.
"I hate heroes."
He said, smiling away sweetly.

"Please spare me...
I...I...
I won't tell...
Really...!"
Iida begged, his eyes full of despair.

"Awe really?
You wouldn't tell a soul?

I think that's sweet."
Hawks said, filling Iida with false hope.

Iida's eyes brightened, "please spare me...
This'll remain a secret...!"

"Well Iida."
Hawks paused, locking eyes with him.
"There is only one way to keep a secret."

Iida's lips quivered, "please... please... please... Don't...
Don't kill me..."
His eyes begged the begging his body couldn't do.

"You'll have to die with it."
Hawks said, his gaze becoming far more threatening than it was before.

"Please...!"
Iida screamed in a plead.

"Sorry.

Well, not really.

Do you really want to your last word to be please..?"
Hawks asked.

"Get it over with Hawks, you were the one complaining about wasting time"
Edgeshot groaned.

"Please Hawks...

Don't kill me...
My mom...
My dad...
I still have so much to live for...
I didn't get to accomplish any of my life goals...!

Please...!"

"How sad.
But none of that concerns me."
Hawks shook his head.
"You shouldn't have stuck your nose in something that doesn't concern you.

Now then.

Goodbye Tenya Iida.

You had a good 16 year run while it lasted."
Hawks said, slashing his throat.

Iida let out a pained cough before his head slumped over.
Blood poured out in vast volume.

Midoriya ended the video there and quickly made a swift escape, "now I have exactly what I need"
He thought to himself, running along back to the base.

"Finally.
Took you long enough"
Edgeshot said, wiping his bloody hands off on a napkin.

"Well you can't seriously expect me to just slash his throat and get it over with, do you?"
Hawks asked, pulling up his mask and securing his hoodie.

"That's what you're supposed to do.
You think Optic would like it if he found out you were dragging out a job far longer than it should take?"
Edgeshot replied in question.

"He doesn't care as long as I get the job done."

"You think he wouldn't care about you tormenting your victims a little before putting their lives to an end?"

"He most definitely wouldn't care about that either.
Didn't you see how he killed all might?

He first exhausted him in the day and made him pick between the people at the festival and people in buildings.

And then after allowing him to save neither and exhausting him, he went after him in his own home.
And not only did it end there, he tortured him during his last moments and then burned the house down.
