Chapter 26: The Gravity of the Situation
You guys are really brutal, you know...
Izuku's senses were coming back to him when he looked down at his handy work. There was blood pooling from Bakugou's head and his eyes were wide open and glossy. Izuku felt the corners of his mouth curve upwards as the alley was painted a deep crimson.
Kirishima's screams were like music to his ears. He turned from the bloody sight of his old tormentor to the boy with a knife in one leg and a bullet in the other, trying to drag himself towards his dead friend.
Izuku sauntered over to him. Kirishima winced and that made Izuku grin. "If you had let me shoot you, Kacchan might have lived." He placed his foot gently on the knife embedded in Kirishima's leg. Kirishima was too focused on getting to his dead friend. Izuku frowned and stepped down. Kirishima yelped as the knife went deeper. "You should listen when people talk to you. Do you know how rude that is?" He stomped down on the knife and twisted it into Kirishima's leg. He yelped and cried, begging for Izuku to stop. And he did. He leaned down and tore the knife out of Kirishima's leg, earning a cry of agony from the boy, then he picked up the gun from the ground that Kirishima had shot him with. The pain had been forgotten. He slipped the rest of his weapons into their rightful places, not bothering to clean off the blood.
Finally, he looked back to see Kirishima had made it to Kacchan's body. He rolled his eyes, but said nothing. The heroes would be here soon, so he had to leave before he got captured.
Finally, he began to turn his clothes inside out. He was covered in Kacchan and his own blood and this would help to not draw as much attention to himself. His shirt had been made for this reason and the rest of his suit was black so you couldn't see the blood as well. He would try to avoid crowds.
"Well," he said when he was done. "I would kill you too, but I think that would be an act of mercy by now. Have some nice nightmares..."
He sauntered off, leaving Kirishima alone, bleeding and sobbing in a pool of his friend's blood.

After the murder of Kacchan went public, Izuku decided to lay low before targeting any more of his former classmates. He was slowly making a hit list and making plans about how he would go about it.
Izuku knew that the heroes would be looking for him. He knew that if he slipped up and fell into a trap, he would be taken to jail, or worse, an asylum. He had lost his mind and he had killed someone, a student to make it worse. If they caught him, what would they do to him?
During the weeks he had to lay low, his sanity would come back and he would feel an unexplainable pain in his chest. It hurt. Was it...guilt? Kirishima's screams would echo in his dreams and wake him up in a cold sweat. He hated that feeling. He wanted it to just go away. He didn't want his sanity anymore. If he suddenly regained sanity in a fight, that would be the end of him. He couldn't kill in this state.
Izuku tried everything to get rid of the guilt. He rammed his head against the wall, half drowned himself in a river, threatened his feelings with a knife, but nothing worked. It was still there.
"I'm going soft," he muttered. "I need to kill again."
It had been a few weeks after Bakugou's murder, not nearly enough time, but Izuku was getting inpatient. The next classmate he saw, he would kill them. He didn't care who it was. If he had the chance, he would kill them.
Kirishima had most likely spread the word that the murderer was Izuku, so walking out into broad daylight wasn't an option now.
He had to be careful, or he might end up in the nuthouse without the help of the League.

Uraraka knew she wasn't suppose to leave UA without a guard, but her parents were in town. She wanted to make sure that the two of them were safe. Deku might have found out about them and she didn't want to hear about their deaths the same way she'd heard about Bakugou's.
Bakugou's death had been painful for everyone. He had been a jerk and nobody in class, besides Kirishima and Kaminari, had been especially nice to him. He was a bully and a jerk, but they didn't think he deserved to die such a horrible death, and at such a young age. Kirishima didn't want to talk about it at first, but after a few days, he let it all spill out, sobbing at the memory. He'd watched as his friend was murdered in front of his eyes and had been wounded pretty badly himself. Uraraka overhead something about permanent damage in his leg that got stabbed and the one that got shot would take a while to heal. Not to mention his mental health. Something like his would take much longer to heal then a bullet wound.
The internships had stopped and nowhere was safe until they captured Deku or at least found out his motive. Students weren't allowed outside school grounds unless accompanied by a teacher or another pro hero.
Uraraka, had decided to sneak out. She was sure that there was a reason for Deku to kill Bakugou. Had his bullying been worse than the class had thought? Uraraka was a friend. He wouldn't kill her, right? He didn't kill Kirishima, so killing Bakugou had to be a onetime thing. Right?
She rounded the corner and found herself alone. Why wasn't anyone here? She looked around and saw yellow ribbon wrapped around some cones. She went closer and saw that it was police tape. Then, she saw an officer hunched over a body. "Sir? Sir, what happened. I have my Provisional Hero License. Can I,-"
She had went under the tape and walked towards the officer. She'd place a hand on his shoulder, by it was cold to the touch. She gasped and fell backwards. So did the officer. There was a bullet wound in his abdomen and blood covered his front. The eyes of the 'victim' snapped open and Uraraka recognized those big green eyes. "Did I scare you, Uraraka?" Deku grinned.

Izuku had been Uraraka weaving her way through the streets. He thought How stupid is she? Before preparing a plan. He killed a police officer and stole a roll of police tape before setting everything up. Citizens would avoid the situation, but he knew Uraraka couldn't. She was a hero and heroes didn't turn away from the law.
It was on a street that he knew she had to go down to get to her house. It was also a less traveled one. Still, he would have to get her into an alley before people started to show up and call a hero to help.
And she fell right into his trap. What an idiot.
~
"D-Deku?"
The boy in front of her grinned. "Well, if it isn't my old friend." He used the word as if he were spitting out poison. "Dare I say my old crush...aren't you as cute as ever. Did I surprise you?"
Uraraka was taken off guard, but tried not to let it show. "Why did you kill Bakugou?"
Deku shrugged. "My brain told me to." He grabbed Uraraka by the shoulders. "Much like it's telling me to kill you too."
"Huh?" Uraraka wasn't liking what she had gotten into. She had to use her quirk before it was too late.
Bang!
Uraraka yelped, more surprised then in pain at the moment. She glanced down and saw a bullet hole in her hand, blood oozing out.
While she was distracted, Izuku grabbed her and shoved her into the nearest alley. "Some people may call me a creep for doing this to a girl, but don't worry, I'll treat you just like I treated Kacchan." He kicked her in the gut, sending her flying against the wall. Izuku took a knife out of a hidden pocket. "First things first, let's get rid of that quirk..."
Izuku grabbed Uraraka's uninjured hand by the wrist and slammed it into the wall. She cried out in pain, but he wasn't done. Her wrist was so small, he couldn't help it. Izuku crushed the bones in his hand, earning a sob and a cry of pain from Uraraka. He then went to stab her through the pads on her fingers that she could use her quirk from, but she had used her hand with the bullet hole in it to use her power. Izuku was suddenly weightless as he went up higher and higher. He was up a good fifteen to eighteen feet in the air when Uraraka released him. Gravity did its thing and Izuku slammed into the ground. He had a broken nose and he was bruised, but he picked himself back up. He pounded his fist into Uraraka's face and when she toppled over, he sat on her abdomen, keeping his foot firmly on her wrists. "Nice going. Should've killed me while you had the chance." He picked up his knife and stabbed through every one of Uraraka's fingers.
Uraraka sobbed and tried to force Izuku off of her. The boy didn't budge. She wanted to scream, but her throat was being choked by her sobs. Her broken wrist throbbed under Izuku's foot and she felt pain in her hands and where he had punched her.
After Izuku had finished nullifying Uraraka's quirk, he got off of her. He was digging around in his pocket for a gun. He decided that stabbing her to death would've been a bit messy. Which his back was turned, Uraraka was being pushed by pure adrenaline to fight back. She couldn't use her hands, but she still had her legs that were mostly uninjured. Izuku was caught off guard as the kick knocked him into the wall. Before he could retaliate, Uraraka kicked him again. The fight looked awkward, but Uraraka was just trying to survive. And her kicks were doing the trick.
That was, until Izuku grabbed her by the leg and knocked her off balance. He leaned his lesson and pinned her down once again. He now had the gun in his hand. "I expected you to go down easy. Now you broke my nose and blemished by perfect skin." He gave a crooked smile. "Well, now I'm the one with a gun and you're helpless. Any last words?"
Izuku pressed the gun to Uraraka's head. She was shivering. She should've fought harder. She should've used her quirk when she had the chance. She shouldn't have let her feelings get into the way. She still saw a glimmer of the only Izuku in those eyes. She wanted to believe that he could still be reached. "Deku-"
Bang!

Why hello.
I swear you guys...what do you have against Uraraka? You're so cruel
I'm not even going to ask who you want dead next, because I already have an idea.
Also, this is almost 2000 words, so be proud of me. I didn't want Uraraka's fight to be in two parts like Bakugou and Kirishima's was.
Yay or nay to Uravity's ends (I didn't really feel it like I did with Bakugou to be honest, but whatever)
