Chapter 19- The Good Ending
No this isn't the end of the book. Read and you'll find you what the title means.

"Youuuu" Bakugo growled his eye twitching a bit, as he walked into Kirishima's room once again.
When Todoroki had said he feared what Bakugo would say when he returned, was valid.
The look on Bakugo's face was a mix of confusion, disbelief, and murderous intentions. Of course, Shoto could be reading him wrong, but being Bakugo, he doubted it.
"YOU LET HIM OUT?!" He screamed, his hands crackling with an explosion. And there it was.
"He had to use the bathroom, Bakugo." Which wasn't completely a lie. Midoriya was int he bathroom, although he had just entered. Todoroki decided not to tell Bakugo about him escaping on his own.
Although, it hardly mattered. The explosive teen would freak either way.
Todoroki had never been good with Bakugo losing his shit, that was Kirishima's job. He had always been able to calm the blonde down and it was really fucking weird. So naturally, Todoroki wished Kirishima was there, as he had not yet returned form his shower and break.
"YOU CAN'T JUST LET A VILLAIN LOSE!" He grabbed the front of Todoroki's shirt, in a threatening way.
"I assure you, he's only using the bathroom." Shoto repeated. If only Bakugo listened.
The blonde threw his head to the side. "OI DEKU! GET OUT OF THERE SO WE CAN CUFF YOU AGAIN, YOU PIECE OF SHI-"
"Bakugo-"
The toilet flushed "One second Kacchan! I just gotta was my hands." And then the sink turned on.
Todoroki looked at Bakugo smugly. "Told you."
Bakugo huffed angrily and shoved Todoroki away, letting go of his shirt.
So the two waited a minute and the green haired boy emerged.
He brushed past them both in the cramped room, and straight onto the bed, holding out his wrists.
"Cuff me, bitches." He said with a smile.

Kirishima, walked down to the main commons, his hair dripping and not styled up. He was hoping to grab some snacks and hurry back to his room but it seemed as if all the other students wouldn't permit it.
"Kirishima!" A high pitched voice yelled. Kirishima turned and saw Mina run towards him, arms stretched out wide.
It was in that moment of panic, where he casually placed his hand over his now healing stab wound, trying to protect it from impact. The pink skinned girl engulfed him in a tight hug.
Denki Kaminari walked up to the two of them. "Kirishima, Where have you been bro?"
"Yeah, you left us hanging for a few days. We haven't seen you at all." Sero adds.
Kiri had never been good at lying. He had always felt extremely bad about it, and felt that lying was 'unmanly'.
Mina finally let go and looked at him with questioning eyes, much as the other two.
Now, Eijiro had felt bad about what he was doing but felt even worse now.
"Well... You know the group project thing... Bakugo and Todoroki are super hard core about it, So we've really been working hard. Either that or I've been hanging out with Bakugo. Sorry guys." He instantly regretted mentioning Bakugo at all.
"That explains why we haven't seen Baku-bro in a few days either. It just sucks." Kaminari placed his hands in his pockets and looked down.
"Yeah..." Sero added with a frown.
"What happened to the Baku squad Kiri?" Mina asked tilting her head to the side. Kirishima's eyes were filtered over with sadness. That was a real big bomb to be dropped on him (No pun intended).
Years ago, that's what they had called themselves. The Baku squad. A joke at first, the only people who could get along with Bakugo at all. Eventually, that just became their thing. Baku squad game nights, movie nights, you name it. Bakugo despised it, but almost always participated to make the others happy.
But...
That was a couple years ago.
Then Bakugo and Kirishima began hanging out together more, and the other three began hanging out with Jirou and some others more. The Baku squad kind of... fell apart.
Sure, Kirishima had thought about it, but he didn't know anyone actually cared. It was more like "Those were the good 'l days" because they were.
"I'm... sorry. I'm just grabbing some snacks for me and the other two. I have to get back to work." He turned away feeling a pang in his chest. "But... We'll hang out soon, Okay? As soon as this project is done."
He looked back at the other three. Some looking down, some had their arms crossed. They were fidgeting uncomfortably and with great annoyance.
"Yeah. Whatever." Mina spoke with clear disappointment as she turned, and walked away. Kiri sat with a frown, as the two guys looked at him and followed her out.
Alone.
That was how Kirishima felt in that moment.
Completely, and utterly alone.

Midoriya's POV
After all the work I put in to get here, I'm chained to this fucking bed again.
What a bore.
Now, I know what you all are thinking, my wonderful voices.
"Deku, You're kind of a shitty villain if you're letting three little brats keep you chained to a bed."
I know! You don't even need to tell me, lovelies. I know what's going on now doesn't make sense. I know that they don't understand.
I know they can't here you all like I can. I know they don't know you're here.
So that's why I'm telling you guys this secret, you know why?
Because I trust you all.
But what I'm about to tell you is a secret, okay?
Don't tell Todo-kun or Kacchan, this is a little gossip between all of us.
Inside my head.
Okay here it is:
remember when I had asked to go to the bathroom? Well...
I had managed to snatch Todo-kuns phone with the whole peeping Pikachu at the door. I brushed my hand into his back right pocket (So predictable that he'd use that one. Silly Shoto), and silently grabbed his phone. I then slip the phone in between the two shower curtains so no one could see it. I knew he wouldn't notice it was gone. I've noticed Todoroki-kun doesn't use his phone so much.
I think it's because his dad texts him so much. It's kind of annoying to be honest.
Now my dears, you might be wondering "Well Deku, what did you want with his phone?"
And I'll tell you, my dears!
If you're smart you'd know why. But if not, don't feel bad, I'll explain exactly what happened.
To make it not conspicuous, I waited about 17 minutes, and then asked to use the bathroom. He was hesitant, but let me anyways. I turned on the fan so he couldn't possibly hear the sound of anything entering the toilet water. i didn't have to use the bathroom of course.
I unlocked his phone and... froze for a second.
I typed in the password I remember from three years ago.
He had kept it.
I remember the day he had looked at me and asked what he should set his password as. I had told him to set it as a very specific date I remember. The day of the UA sports festival, where I got him to use his fire. I told him that that's when me and him really became close.
He had smiled and set the numbers.
For three years, this bastard had kept the same password I had told him.
I was going to set it down and stop but...
Oh my god, guys, I didn't know what to do in that moment.
I kept hearing the word 'weak' and I knew that I had to do it. I'd been preparing for years, and some silly numbers wouldn't change what I wanted in life.
So I entered in the phone number of someone I knew from memory.
Kurogiri, this is the Villain Deku.
I am currently at UA highschool dorms, with Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, and Eijiro Kirishima. They think they have me held captive but they are wrong. I've found out quite a bit of information. As of now they think I'm passive.
I have limited time, as I am using the son of endeavors phone, that I snatched quickly.
1. The other students don't know I am alive.
2. They three that do know, haven't told anyone about seeing me.
3. Currently, the third year UA students are working on a hero project. That's how these three saw me. They are all out patrolling and gathering information, or in the dorms.
4. The dorms exact location is ***************
5. You can easily bust through windows. They are barely locked and are easy to break open, with no alarms.
Please, do not respond. Report this to Shiga-san, and do not act util I return with more information. I am deleting this text history right after it is sent.
Wish me luck
My finger hovers over the send button.
"OI DEKU! GET OUT OF THERE SO WE CAN CUFF YOU AGAIN YOU PIECE OF SHI-"
"Bakugo-"
I hear arguing and yelling from the other side of the door. I respond and turn on the sink water.
I take a breath, smile and hit send. I then quickly delete the contact.
No regrets in the villain world.
A new message comes through right as I'm about to open the door.
And I think "Don't look, you'll be washing your hands for to long."
But I did anyways.
Endeavor: Fine.
I tilt my head and open up the messages between the father and son. I look back a few hours.
Shoto: I'm not coming home this weekend to visit.
Endeavor: What?! Why?!
Shoto: Because. I have other things to do with people at school.
Endeavor: Get them done during the week. You're coming home to visit us. We're your family whether you like it or not.
Shoto: And I'm 18 and say that there's someone here at school, who needs me more than you ever will.
Endeavor: Who?
Shoto: I'm not telling you.
Endeavor: Shoto Todoroki, I didn't raise you like this. You WILL put family before "Friends"
Shoto: Sometimes there is things is a young heroes life they must prioritize. I'm telling you one thing: By doing this, I'm saving someone. Heroes save people. This person needs me, and I need to be here for them. I care about this person more than I should, so I'm going to do everything I can to help them, alright? So I'm going to say it one last time, Dad, so listen closely...
Shoto: I'm not coming home this weekend, Okay?
Endeavor: Fine.
No new messages.
I frown and stare at the small screen.
So he's still a piece of shit every one.
I sigh and close out of the phone, before opening the door.
When I walk past Todoroki, my hand finds it's way back to his pocket and easily slips the cell phone in.
I let them cuff me back up and here I am now.
So here's where you guys come in:
I need a favor.
I can't decide and I can't trust anyone anymore, so what do I do?
A. I stay here for now. I keep playing the act of I'm passive and I get more information. I interact with the three top students for a while more.
B. I flee. I escape with ease and go back to the villain lair to begin planning our next move on UA.
Oh the conflict.
It's funny because... everyone thinks I'm crazy.
Maybe I am. I'm putting my fate into the hands of the voices in my head.
Or maybe I'm just the most sane out of all these people.
But...
I'm going to tell you guys one thing:
Depending on what you chose, you either get the 'good ending' or 'bad ending'. Isn't that always how these little decisions work?
I believe everything that happens has a route that it'll take you. And I'm letting you, my dear voice-lings, decide for me.
I'm sure other people could hear you if they tried, their minds just haven't been... Opened.
Yeah.
...
...
...
Wait...
...
Actually...
I'm changing that.
Depending on what you all chose, you either get the 'Bad ending' or the 'Worse ending'.
Do you know why?
Because people like me...
Don't get a good ending.
