Second Chance

2 - Disappointment

Narrator's POV

                 Meanwhile, in a warehouse at an unknown location, a dark portal had opened with Tomura Shigaraki emerging alongside Izuku Midoriya, the latter brought here against his will. 

Midoriya's POV

                 My eyes slowly adjust to the light due to the portal, and I am greeted to the sight of what looks like an abandoned warehouse. Giant overhead lights illuminate a direct path towards wherever we were going. After walking to the other side, I saw Shigaraki's assistant Kurogiri, who was cleaning something. I heard Shigaraki yell at Kurogiri about opening the portal so far away. He just apologized and went back to work. We kept walking before we arrived at a big steel door. Shigaraki opened it and I was now standing in a laboratory, where an operating table was stationed in the center. I didn't bother resisting, there was no point anymore. Shigaraki told me to get on the table and I did before he used straps to subdue me. It was then that I saw him turn to a television in the corner and began talking to someone.

                 "Sensei..." Oh no. That can only mean one person... It can't be.

                 "I am here, Tomura Shigaraki. Were you successful in your mission?" His mission? Capturing me? Why would they want me? They probably still think I have One For All, that I am of actual use. 

                 "Yes Sensei... He actually put it on easy mode. Not sure why though..." I then heard the man surprisingly laugh before composing himself.

                "I am truly not surprised, for Young Midoriya has had both his body and mind broken. A truly unfortunate case. That's why I asked you to bring him here." He knows? What does he want with me? "I shall be there momentarily, Tomura. Feel free to leave to handle your other matters." I saw Shigaraki nod and walked out of the room, sealing the door. Moments later, another portal opened, and out walked the man I feared the most. All For One.

              He walked through the portal and over to the table I was strapped onto. He looked down at me and shook his head. "Poor child... One little accident and your life gets turned upside down." I grit my teeth in anger. He must've guessed what I was feeling. "I can see you're not happy about what's happened. Your arms barely function anymore and you've been cast aside by those who you once held close because of it, doing something you were taught to do." I grit my teeth even more and began to break. "They threw you out because you're USELESS to them now." That pushed me over the edge and made me start sobbing. I was expecting him to start mocking me or torture me or something... but surprisingly he began to rub my head, somehow calming me down. I looked up to see him smiling. "That's why you're here now. You shall see in due time. But for now, please accept my apologies in advance." I was about to ask what he meant before I felt this massive surge of pain throughout my body. It felt like I was torn apart, limb by limb. An eternity of searing pain all in one second. Before I knew it, I felt my consciousness fading again, before I heard him speak again. "When you finally realize the truth, We'll be waiting, Young Midoriya." I just barely heard it before I passed out.

Time Skip - Twelve Hours

              When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on the bench at the park. What did I do last night? I pushed myself off the bench and began walking back to the school. I then realize that was way easier than it should have been. I look at my arms only to discover that I could move them more than I usually could have, along with the fact that my scars were gone as well. I tore off my compression sleeve and began moving my arms all over the place. I couldn't believe it! My arms weren't destroyed anymore! I started running back to U.A., I gotta tell All Might! I can get my quirk back! I can be useful again! It'll be a new start.
