Chapter 40: War
AN quick, I got tagged again so that's at the end.
So yeah :D
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oi Izuku, why are you walking around?"
Izuku turned to see Dabi leaning against the corner of the wall. Izuku shrugged, as he waited for Dabi to catch up to him. "Didn't wanna stay sat down all day."
"Fair enough."
Toga had told everyone that Izuku was awake, as Izuku was able to talk better without sounding like he had a collapsed lung. He had still been confined to his bed, and was forcibly put on a break as his wounds healed, which Izuku strongly disliked, though he complied out of respect for his comrades. In the meanwhile, Dabi and Compress took up the responsibility of management of the league in his place. It was difficult, and they did go to Izuku for advice once or twice, but it was manageable.
Izuku was wearing casual clothing, for once in his life. Most of the time he wore suits and professional outfits that generally didn't look comfortable. Not to mention the mask, which he wore when he wasn't on secretive missions, instead on missions where he would be forced to reveal himself. Apparently, for "intimidation" or something like that. However, this time, he wore a simple turtle neck and jeans, his unbrushed hair falling slightly across his face.
"What...?"
"Your eyes are glowing."
"Did you just notice?"
"Well, sorry but I couldn't exactly see with Twice jumping up and down all the bloody time."
Izuku snorted, brushing his hair slightly out the way as he waved to some villians. "Apparently it's 'expelling excess energy' or something like that."
"Energy from what?"
"The quirk. I'm still not fully used to it, so it built up"
"You're the one who was overusing it."
"Well if I didn't, we would be dead."
"Sure...Where are you going anyway?"
"Hmm? Oh, I was just going to walk around a bit."
"Guess I'll join you for a bit."
"You're kidding?"
"I need a break from this shit."
"Management to much for you?"
"You said it, feel free to take it back anytime."
Izuku chuckled, looking over the smiling villians and supplies that spread across the entire area. "Yeah, it's a bit tough. But, I don't think I would have it any other way. I would rather a little lack of sleep than the way my life was before I joined."
"Same. I mean, Twice is a bitch and Toga is, well, Toga." Dabi ignored Izukus narrowed eyelids and continued. "But they are far better than my father."
"Oh, I am fully aware Touya."
Dabi froze in his tracks causing Izuku to turn, a small smile on his face. He chuckled slightly, raising a finger to his own lips, sending a message of secrecy. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'm sure it's something you don't want to talk about."
"How...how the hell...?"
"I knew as soon as I saw you. I had many jobs related to Endeavour, so I knew what he looked like quite well, as well as his home life. I also knew he had a runaway son, who had a fire quirk and blue eyes. And then you turn up."
Dabi was still frozen in his place, hands trembling slightly. Izuku walked back up to him, and patted his head. "Don't worry, no-one knows except me. Despite my profession, I can keep information hidden."
"...what's that supposed to mean?"
Izuku chuckled, pulling his jumper down, straightening out any creases.
"Did you forget? Before everything, before Genocider, I was just a Broker. However, I know there are somethings that are just best to be forgotten. I have my fair share."
Dabi walked back up to Izuku, who had began to walk ahead. "Like what?"
"Hmm...well I guess now I know your dark secret, I could tell you mine."
"And what would that be?"
Izuku paused, before looking back up at Dabi, a small smile on his face. He tilted his head slightly, his hair falling over a single eye.
"I never wanted Shigaraki to die."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bakugo smacked his hand onto the alarm button, groggily sitting up and wiping his eyes. He wasn't exactly a morning person, yet always seemed to get up quite early. It was around 6am, the sunlight barely entered the room as they curtains were drawn tight. Most of 1A were still asleep, as it was still the summer holiday, despite the fact they had a special moves class today. Though it was in the afternoon.
Bakugo changed into his gym clothes, brushed his hair quickly and left. He usually ran for an hour or so in the morning. It used to be purely for exercise, but as of recently, it was more to clear his mind.
Todoroki's words were helpful, and everyone's support was more than enough. But something in the back of his mind continually ate at mind. No matter gow hard he tried think about something else, that underlying thought was always there. Always reminding him of what he did.
It wasn't like he was depressed or that he hated himself, it was more like a hammer being smacked in his head, never letting him forget his sins. It had gotten worse since the incident with Kirishima.
In hindsight, Kirishima was right. They should have left when they had the chance.
As much as he would like to say it helped, his classmates words were not enough to convince him. But, now wasn't the time to get upset. He had to focus on how he was going to defeat Izuku. That's all that mattered.
And it started with learning how to control his new quirk.
His bones probably couldn't handle that much damage over and over again. But it was their best chance of defeating Izuku. All Might told him to find Gran Torino but he had no idea where he was. Or who he was.
Honestly, he knew nothing about him.
"Excuse me?"
Bakugo turned around to see a man. He looked like he was in the police force or a detective unit. "Umm yes?"
"You were the boy All Might was with when he died right?"
Bakugo froze, staring at the man in shock. He bowed his head, letting out a quiet 'yes'. The mans eyes widened, as he grabbed Bakugo's wrist. "Does the name 'Gran Torino' sound familiar?"
What in the lord of coincidences...?
"Umm, yeah actually. All Might told me to find him."
The mans eyes widened further. "Did...did he give you his quirk?"
Bakugo didn't fully answer, but that alone was enough for him. His lack of confusion was more than enough proof.
"Listen, my name is Tsukauchi. I was a friend of All Mights. Could you come with me for a bit?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What do you mean? You..."
Izuku shushed him, pointing over to the office where Izuku did most of his work. Dabi nodded, going to the room, entering and watched as Izuku closed the door.
"I know, I know. I'm the one who killed him, so it's kinda hypocritical to say that I never wanted him dead. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he was a good villian or a good leader."
"So, why?"
Izuku paused, sitting on the desk. "Well, he was the one to take me into the league in the first place. He helped me become a Broker and...well, meet all of you, I guess. I'm not going to lie to you, if i hadn't have met him, I would probably be dead right now."
"Dead...?"
"I think you know what I mean."
"..."
"Well, if anything, it wasn't my call to kill him, it was All for One's. I know it sounds sick, but I would rather I do it. All for One will kill anything, but considering he had no quirks to kill him quickly, it was easier for me to do it. So he wouldn't suffer."
"But, you stabbed him...why didn't you use a quirk?"
"That was another order. Keep completely calm and do not reveal anything. That's why I was so 'professional' at the time. Because Kacchan was there, he could have told All Might I had the quirks and everything would have been ruined."
"You seriously thought that far in advance?"
"Well, we had to. The entire time I was away, I was preparing everything and coming up with a strategy to beat All Might. However, Kacchan now had All Mights power."
Dabi sprung up, eyes wide. "Wait how?!"
Izuku got up, and went to the coffee machine, and turned it on. "I noticed it as he fought All for One. Remember how we watched the broadcast, Kacchan seemed to have a completely different power. That was All Mights power. You can tell by the output energy and purely from the circumstances."
"So, now what? If he has his quirk, doesn't that mean we have to deal with a new All Might?"
Izuku took the coffee and took a sip. "Rememeber what Muscular said?"
"Which part?"
"Where he said Kacchan had broken various bones and hurt himself as he punched Muscular."
"He said that his muscles were so dense that the force shattered his arms."
"I'm not so sure. The same thing happened when he fought All for One. When he used it, it shattered his hand. This time, he used it so much that he had to re-break the broken bones in his arm. My guess is the power output is too strong, and the force of releasing it breaks his bones."
"Okay, but what does that mean for us?"
"Two things. One, he isn't able to use the power very well yet, so he isn't as much of a threat as All Might. Two, this gives us an extremely small window of time. If he learns how to use it, it could be detrimental."
"A small amount of time to do what?"
Izuku paused, putting down his mug and walked up to Dabi.
"To kill Bakugo easily and wage war on the hero world."

Authors note:
Hey, sorry for the shorter chapter again. It is way to hot right now and I cannot concentrate for the life of me (There is no air conditioning here). The next chapter should be much longer as it will involve some plot points (yay).
1. Okay so, here's the thing. Originally I was going to do the face reveal part. But as I had more time to think about it, I decided against it. You may remember that I said that I am not comfortable revealing personal information.
But mainly it's because at this point in time, I am not fully confident in my appearance (how cliche I know...) . Honestly I really did want to do a face reveal, but after a while, everything was telling me not to. That's not the whole story but I am NOT WRITING AN NOVEL ABOUT MY ISSUES XD.
So maybe in the future I will. Maybe when I eventually complete this (like that's gunna happen...) I will. But at the moment I don't feel completely comfortable.
Just to give you an idea, blue/grey eyes, dirty blonde wavy hair that's just below the waist and 5"1 (I am short...) . That's the best I can do at the moment.
I'm really sorry!
Ok moving on
2. Lasagna because soy muy Sano
3. On my own from Tokyo Ghoul \/A
4.
I guess this?
(My boiiiiisss)
5. MEGOLOVANIA BECAUSE MY BROTHER HAS MADE IT A POINT TO PLAY IT JUST TI ANNOY ME. (Yes I used to like Undertale like 2/3 years ago but who boy that fandom sailed away quick)
6. As I said before I won't do this as I don't wanna bother people but if you wanna do it, go ahead and say I tagged you if ya want :D
~
Heya! I don't really have a lot to say for once. I guess, I hope you are enjoying this story!
Also as I started writing, 'from me to you' started playing and I started crying. It's one of the best tracks from MHA and always makes me want to rip out my heart. Trust me, just listen to it.
WELL SEE YA LATER!
