Chapter 3. You Can't Understand
Izuku was back at the training grounds and he was doing one armed push ups giving his other arm was broken, he's been doing them for the last hour and it felt as if his arm was about to fall off from how tired the muscles are.
"I... I have to get stronger.." he forced his body to do another push up before his arm finally gave from strain and lactic acid build up "damnit... Why.. why am I so weak..".
A memory flashed through his mind of his eighteenth birthday and even though the world was a living hell, Eri made him a small drawing and even tried to make his favorite meal. It was burned and had next to no seasoning but he didn't care, he ate it regardless because it meant more to him then the flavor.
A small smile crossed his face but just as fast as it was there it was gone, as another memory came... The day she died.
Izuku gritted his teeth to stop himself from crying and he forced his body up off the ground and he began running, ignoring his already burning lungs along with the previous users telling him to stop.
"I can't stop.. All For One is alive alone with that other monster... I don't care what happens to my body just as long as it means I can stop those monsters... Including the Hero Safety Commission" thought Izuku.
He continued to train and wasn't planning to stop until he was strong enough to save Eri "I have to do this alone... Because I relied on my friends they all died... I don't care if they end up hating me.. I will save them all".

Meanwhile school was just about to start and everyone was in class except Ochako since she was waiting for Izuku to show up, she left for school earlier than normal hoping to find him but she saw him nowhere. She continued to stand outside the even after the bell rang and she started to get worried since he wasn't here and this was unlike him.
"Uraraka what are you doing here?" Said Aizawa walking towards her.
"O-oh sorry sensei... I was waiting for Deku-kun so I can ask him if he was ok.. I called and texted him over the break and he never responded" said Ochako.
Aizawa sighed in understanding from her point of view, she doesn't know the literal hell Izuku went through "don't worry Uraraka, I'll try and talk to him later, he's currently dealing with some personal problems. Now get in class and I'll let you not being in it pass this time".
Ochako nodded her head and went inside and once the door closed behind her Aizawa grabbed his head as tears started to stream down his cheeks.
"H-how... How can you deal with this..." He said as he leaned against the wall and slid down till he was sitting, through the entire week he could barely get any sleep and any time he closed his eyes all he saw was his entire class dead before him and how they died. It also included how Inko died and how that little girl named Eri died.... The way she died made him sick to his stomach, even after being a hero since he himself went to UA, nothing could have prepared him for that gruesome sight.
It took Aizawa a couple minutes but he regained his composure and wiped the tears away and stood up "prob... No, Midoriya... Your truly one of a kind and you deserve to be a hero more than anyone in this school or outside of it".
Aizawa walked into class and walked to his desk and was about to begin class when Katsuki spoke up.
"Oi where the fuck is Deku!?" He snarled.
"Out. He's dealing with personal problems" said Aizawa in a cold tone.
"Pssh that worthless Deku doesn't have any problems he's j-".
*CRACK*.
The class looked up at Aizawa and saw that his fist busted a huge hole in his desk and then he looked up at Katsuki, he didn't have his quirk active but the look he gave him was more terrifying.
"Bakugo. You call him Deku one more time and I'll make sure not even Recovery Girl can tell what part of your body belongs where" said Aizawa dangerously.
Katsuki made the smart decision and nodded his head but he did clench his fists "great now the teach is defending Deku!! First the loser thinks he's better than me and now he's getting the staff to go against me!!!".
Aizawa took a calming breath and decided to get this over with so he can try and talk to Izuku.
"You all did well in the sports festival, some did better. Because of that most of you got invites to intern under heroes, those that didn't, we have a list of heroes who have agreed to take any of you in" said Aizawa. "Also to be heroes you will all need hero names".
"And I will be in charge of those since Eraser right here isn't that good at it and would simply let you choose whatever you want" said Midnight walking into class.
Aizawa just grunted and left the class heading to the training grounds to talk to Izuku.

Izuku was standing before a massive 20 × 20 × 20 block of concrete that Cementoss made, he walked up to it and took a deep breath of air and placed his hand against it. The ground under his feet cracked and he sent all the force to his hand and it completely shattered the concrete without creating a shockwave.
"Still not good enough.. All For One would just shrug it off..." Said Izuku before he walked over to another slab of concrete that was 10 × 10 and it was 4 inches thick, he used both his arms to slowly lift up the 4,400 pound slab.
After a couple moments he slowly lifted it off the ground and moved his body under it and completely lifted it off the ground and over his head, it took him a moment to get his balance but once he did he slowly started to walk forward ignoring the pain in his entire body from the weight and how he was only allowing himself to use 7%.
"Midoriya put that down" said Aizawa watching him.
"N-no" he said as he continued to walk forward sweating profusely from the strain on his body.
"Midoriya your gonna end up killing yourself if you keep this up, I understand-" he didn't finish what he was saying as Izuku threw the concrete slab away and glared at him with murder in his eyes.
"Understand.... You think you understand what type of hell I went through? I had to watch everyone I care for die before my own eyes! My own mother was decayed before me!! All my friends died protecting me because they knew I was the only person WHO COULD STOP THAT MONSTER!!!. NOT ONLY THAT BUT SOME OF THEM WEREN'T EVEN KILLED!!.
I found Yaoyorozu strapped to a machine and being forced to create weapons and other types of things for that sick monster for 2 entire years straight!!! When I finally saved her she wasn't even strong enough to live and SHE DIED IN MY ARMS!!!!.
KIRISHIMA SACRIFICED HIMSELF TO SAVE ASHIDO AND IT WAS FOR NOTHING!!!! the Nomu found her and beat her and tore her body to pieces, they raised them high into the air as if they were trophies.
Kacchan... Shigaraki broke him... He simply broke him... Mentally and physically he was broken and then he had his quirk stolen along with my other classmates.
Uraraka... She was decayed before me and the last thing she told me was that she loved me...
T-then Eri..." Izuku was crying through all of this but when he got to his adoptive daughter it hurt even more "that sick monster found her on my birthday and he ripped her quirk from her body and then... H-he.. he crushed her skull before me... Then as a sick joke.. he threw her body at me and laughed saying I couldn't even protect my own daughter".
Aizawa flinched, he looked up and saw Izuku empty cold eyes.
"You saw what I went through.. but you can never truly understand the hell I went through... Everyone I knew and loved I had to bury in unmarked graves because he left nothing of their bodies afterwards. To top it all off he stole most of their quirks and use them against me.. so I had to not only fight him.. but I had to fight my class... So tell me Aizawa do you understand what type of fucking hell I've been through!".
Aizawa said nothing and just looked down, he didn't.. he couldn't even begin to fully grasp the hell Izuku went through, even with the memories.
"Don't ever pretend to understand and leave me alone... I have to train to make myself stronger.... I have to kill these monsters so that they don't kill anyone else ever again" said Izuku before he left.
"I.... I'm sorry..." Was all that Aizawa said.

Meanwhile in his own office All Might was still trying to process the literal hell he put his successor went through.
"It all happened.. because even in the end I refused to kill him and the government refused to kill him as well" he said.
He brought his hands from his face and looked at the small picture he had on his desk of him and Izuku that was taken after he got into UA.
"Young Midoriya.. I'm so sorry you went through all of this..." His eyes then hardened with determination as he stood up "I promise you... This time I won't fail you young man".
He went to leave his office when he heard someone knock on his door "come in".
A moment later Inko walked in, her hair was a mess and she had large bags under her eyes along with tear stains on her cheeks.
"Mr Yagi".
"Oh Mrs Midoriya how can I help you?" Said All Might curiously.
"I want to know why I haven't seen my son in over a week and why he refuses to answer any of my calls or texts" said Inko with anger and frustration in her tone.
"I... I'm sorry Mrs Midoriya I can't full answer that.. young Midoriya is dealing with something and he's refusing to let anyone near him or help him".
"THAT'S NO EXCUSE WHY HE WON'T ANSWER ME!! I'M HIS MOTHER AND I WANT MY BABY BACK HOME!!!" Yelled Inko as her parental instincts were going haywire from worry and exhaustion.
"I can try and call him here but I can't promise anything... The only reason he's still here is because principal Nezu says it's the only thing keeping him sane" said All Might.
That confused Inko but before she could say anything All Might grabbed his phone and tried to call Izuku.
It rang a couple time and surprisingly he picked up.
"What".
All Might couldn't say anything as the phone was ripped from his hand by Inko.
"Izuku I want you here right this very moment! We are going home and we are going to have a very long talk!" Said Inko, she hated getting angry at Izuku but giving the last week she needed to be.
He was silent for a moment before he responded.
"No".
Inko actually took a step back at that, his tone was cold and dead that it actually scared her, this wasn't her baby at all, he was so cold and empty.
"What do you mean no? I'm your mo-".
"I know your my mom, but no I can't come home... Not until they are dealt with... Anyways goodbye mom I need to get back to training".
And just like that he hung up the phone, Inko stood there for a moment completely Frozen trying to figure out what could have made her baby act like this.
"M-mr Yagi.. w-what happened to my baby boy..." Said Inko in a heartbroken tone since he's never sounded like this or acted this way before.
"I.... I can't say... It's up to young Midoriya to say since it's his burden to share.... Mrs Midoriya I know you don't like what I'm about to say but I think it'll be best to let him keep doing what he's doing" said All Might.
"What but why!? My little boy is hurt emotionally obviously and I need to help him!".
"It's helping him heal" said a new voice, they both looked over and saw Nezu sitting on the spare seat and had a cup of tea in his paws "as messed up as it is, it's the only thing keeping him remotely grounded to earth".
"B-but..".
"Mrs Midoriya I understand that your worried and you have every right to be but in this very moment you have to trust me, he needs to be alone, if you are to rush things it will bring more harm then good" said Nezu.
Inko looked down and let a couple more tears roll down her cheeks before she nodded "ok... But once this is over I want him straight home... No ifs and's or but's".
Nezu nodded his head at that.

Meanwhile back at the city Izuku just got done with his training and a robot came holding a tray with some food and water for him, he grabbed it and began eating away completely unaware of someone walking towards him.
