Broken Soul

Chapter 13

Izuku woke up to hear hushed conversations in the main bar. It sounded like Shigaraki and Kurogiri. Well, it had to be. Izuku hadn't seen Garaki since the first day he'd arrived, and All For One stopped visiting them the day before they attacked U.A.

It was strange, in all honesty. All For One was supposed to be supervising them, and he was said to be the boss around here. Now, Tomura took the lead most days.

It had also been strange how All For One had taught Izuku how to control and use his quirk, but didn't offer the same for Tomura when he was younger. It was kind of.. unfair. It was like Izuku was their new masterpiece to 'perfect', while Tomura was just their 'trial and error'.

Midoriya got up, opening the door slightly to hear what was being said.

"Tomura Shigaraki, are you sure this is the right decision?" Kurogiri asked.

"Yes." He replied, "He dare hurt our youngest member. We'll just unleash a few of them to throw him off of his path."

Were they talking about Stain? He had cut me a little on the arm, but it wasn't that bad.

"If you think it is right, then we shall go out later tonight. It would be the perfect time, with not many heroes patrolling the streets, it would be most suitable."

They're going out tonight? Without me? What exactly are they planning to.. unleash?

Footsteps echoed closer in the hallway. He quickly closed the door before throwing himself onto the bed. He didn't know how, but he ended up in a kind of awkward position. He quickly untangled himself from the discarded sheets before sitting up.

He couldn't help but wonder what information he'd missed from the conversation. All he knew was that they were going to unleash something tonight to get revenge on Stain. His face paled.

They couldn't be unleashing.. those right?

No, no they couldn't. They knew how dangerous it was sending them out. How brutal they were. But, he couldn't help but worry that they were. These days, they were kind of unpredictable with their decisions.

Footsteps echoed down the hallway. Izuku sat still and silent as he tried to identify who it was. The hallway became silent. Someone knocked at the door.

"Come in."

Aizawa groaned in frustration. He'd been trying to find information on Tomura Shigaraki and Deku, better known as Izuku Midoriya, for the last hour or so. But, nothing of interest came up. He'd contemplated asking Bakugou for information as he seemed to know Izuku best, but had decided to ignore that idea for the time being.

So far, all he'd found were articles with the same sort of story. The story that Izuku Midoriya had gone missing on June 14th after being spotted in an area near Kamino Ward. Nothing specific came up such as time frames or actual location.

He nearly spit his coffee out as he got to the bottom of the page. There was a recent article on the case that seemed to have more information generally.

Written 23rd March, xxxx.

A witness whose name is anonymous for personal reasons claims to have sighted a green-haired boy walking into an alleyway near Kamino Ward on 14th June at around 3:34pm. The sighting matches a middle-schooler by the name of Izuku Midoriya who went missing nine months ago.

The witness claims that the boy seemed to have been lured into the alleyway.

"I went to check that he was okay, and he was completely gone!" They told authorities, "It was as if he just disappeared into thin air!"

Detective Tsukauchi, the lead detective on the case, thinks that the League Of Villains are at play. They know of a teleportation user in the league who could have made the boy disappear into thin...

He didn't need to read any more than that. At least now he could piece something together. Izuku Midoriya had been, presumably, walking home from school at roughly 3:30pm when he'd found an alleyway. All For One, as he, Nezu and Tsukauchi suspected, happened to be there 'coincidently'. He had lured the boy into villainy with words, not violence it seemed. Although, he could've also used a quirk, a hypnosis one perhaps. It seemed he might've used a quirk to teleport both himself and Izuku to their base or he could've used Kurogiri, their warp-gate member.

Something was clear to the underground hero. Something was missing, and something was very, very wrong here.

They needed to get Midoriya and Shigaraki out of that situation. Of course, they were villains, but they were humans too. That was something most pro heroes forget in this superhuman society.

Midoriya is a kid, for All Might's sake. A kid All For One decided to take advantage of. As for Shigaraki, there is a high chance he might've been manipulated too. But, how old was he when he was 'saved'?

Aizawa closed down his laptop as he walked to the kitchen for another refill of coffee. He was set on one goal, and one goal only.

He had to save those kids no matter what.
