A/N: Well Izuku's in a bit of pickle with two dates on his plate, but I'm sure he'll figure it out, now this chapter will be mostly fluff about Izuku's dates, but there will be some building blocks in here for the coming chapters.
KingAsuraX: Yeah I do intend to give Izuku only one or two aspects from each character otherwise it's no fun. I also have to think how each quirk will mesh with Izuku's overall theme and mindset.
TheJSmooth: Yeah this is my first take on a harem so I'm tiptoeing through it trying not to go too fast, and make things feel organic, but also fit in with the action of the story, hopefully my footing gets better with each chapter.
Onto the story.
Izuku had just left the house his mind on the two dates he suddenly had when he was grabbed from the side and pinned against a wall by none other than Bakugou. As if I didn't have enough on my plate. He thought as Bakugou let go of his shirt and looked at him. "Look here I don't give a damn what you or anyone else thinks of me I'm still going to be the best hero there is, but you did beat me, and that will be the only time Izuku you hear me. I'll be the best hero in my own way not yours, so just stay the hell out of my way!" He said walking away from Izuku.
Izuku stood there frozen in thought. "D-did he just call me Izuku?" He asked his brow arching as he felt a small smile on his face. "Maybe I did change your mind a little Katsuki." He said a feeling of accomplishment blossoming in his chest as he made his way to UA.
Izuku took his seat in class as the bell rung and Aizawa walked in. Everyone in class shared the same feeling of anxiety at seeing the Erasure hero standing there. OH man what's he going to have us do this time? Izuku thought his heart pounding as Aizawa began speaking. "Alright today we are going to…pick the Class Representative and Vice Representative." Aizawa said as the entire class released a breath of relief before everyone started shouting for themselves to be nominated. As everyone clamored for the position Izuku thought about whom he would pick and the first person to come to mind would be Iida.
He was logical and a steadfast upholder of doing things by the book, and Yaoyorozu would be a good partner to his unbending adherence to the rules. She was more relaxed and more likely to keep Iida from going overboard. "Everyone please this is not how we should conduct ourselves!" Iida shouted his hand straining straight up in the air.
"Uhh Iida you want this more than anyone it seems." Tsu said calling out Iida's mismatched words and actions.
Iida coughed taking his hand from the air. "Yes well I think we should hold this to a vote. Whoever receives the most votes will be our Class Representative and the secondary person will be the Vice Class Representative." Iida explained.
"But wouldn't everyone just vote for themselves how would that work?" Kirishima questioned as Iida adjusted his glasses.
"Well yes if everyone is selfish and only thinks of themselves that will happen, but I believe that all of us as future heroes willing to put our lives on the line to save others are more than willing to do what's best for the class as a whole rather than for ourselves." Iida said as each student nodded.
"Just get it done I don't care how." Aizawa spoke already in his sleeping bag after having placed an empty box on his desk. All the students took out pens and paper writing down who they thought should be Class Rep and put them in the box on the teacher's desk. Aizawa stood up after everyone had handed in their votes began sorting through them before announcing the verdict. "The Class Rep with three votes is…Izuku Midoriya." Aizawa said in a lifeless voice before Katsuki stood up shouting.
"Which of you bastards voted for Izuku!?" He reviewed the room not being able to pick out any of the perpetrators before sitting down and growling as Uraraka whistled in the background.
"With two votes the Vice Class Rep is Momo Yaoyorozu." Aizawa said as Izuku and Momo stood in front of the class. Izuku looked at the class at large. He wasn't sure about this he'd never really wanted a leadership position, but he supposed that the book Leo gave him would be put to good use now.
"Umm are you guys sure about this I don't really think I'm qualified for this." He said as he was met with disagreement.
"What no way bro you've got this I definitely trust you as our class Rep." Kirishima said with a thumbs up.
"Yeah you even went so far as to try and show Bakugou what a jerk he is. If you went that far for him I know how far you'll go for the rest of us." Jiro said a slight blush on her face as Bakugou growled.
"Fuck you Earlobes!" He shouted as he seethed in his seat. Izuku nodded in acceptance.
"Thank you all for the trust you have in me I'll do my best to not let you guys down." He said with a bow to the class, after everything was made official the rest of the day proceeded normally with Izuku sharing a table with Iida, Uraraka, and Toru at lunch.
"I'm glad to see you've accepted the leadership role Midoriya as one of the people who voted for you I can't wait to see how you bring the class together." Iida said as Midoriya arched a brow.
"Well that's ironic because I used my vote on you Iida." Midoriya said taking a bite of his Katsudon as Iida sputtered.
"What really you thought I would be a good Representative?" Iida said adjusting his glasses.
Midoriya shrugged looking at Iida. "You enforce the rules trying to keep the class on the straight and narrow. You set a good example for what a hero should be. I think that's awesome and someone I can follow without question." Iida took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes before replacing them as Uraraka smiled.
"Aww Iida don't cry." Uraraka said patting Iida's shoulder as he smiled.
"No, no it's just you reminded me of my older brother there. He said something similar to me once." Iida explained as Midoriya narrowed his eyes trying to remember what he knew about Iida.
"You said you came from a hero family right Iida? Your brother wouldn't happen to be Ingenium would he?" Asked Midoriya as Iida coughed on the juice he was drinking.
"H-how did you know?!" Iida asked looking at Midoriya in shock who shrugged in return.
"It wasn't hard saying you came from a hero family and your Engine quirk which has been a staple in every Ingenium it was pretty obvious." He said as alarms started to go off and students began to leave the cafeteria in a rush. Iida managed to grab hold of an upperclassman that was passing by.
"Excuse me what's going on here, what are the alarms for?" Iida asked as the older student explained saying that UA's perimeter had been breached and according to procedure all students should evacuate to the designated area. Midoriya who had been listening in waved to the class getting them out of the cafeteria, but the moment they stepped outside all of 1-A was swept up in the raging river of the student body trying to get out as quickly as possible. Izuku was pushed and shuffled like clothes in a dryer as he was jammed against the wall downwind of Iida who seemed to be trying to tell everyone what was happening after looking out the window, but no one could hear him. Izuku grit his teeth as he watched Iida try to get hold of Uraraka. He didn't know what his plan was but Izuku trusted Iida and moved forward steadily before giving Uraraka a push towards Iida allowing her to make him float in midair before jettisoning himself through the air and landing above the exit.
"Everyone calm down it's just the press outside we are not in any danger!" He shouted calming the student body in one fell swoop. Izuku smiled as the students placidly exited the school building. On their way back to class Izuku caught up with Iida and stopped him.
"Iida I'm going to hand over the position of Class Rep to you after what you did at lunch you des-." Iida held up a hand stopping Izuku in his tracks.
"Midoriya I know what you're going to say and we both know that I wouldn't have been able to do that without your help." Iida said eyeing Izuku down his glasses. "I know you pushed Uraraka towards me in order for me to inform everyone about what was happening. That is why you would still make better Class Rep. You help everyone without asking for anything in return even with no recognition. I know you'll do great." The taller boy said as he patted Izuku's shoulder and walked away. Izuku sighed smiling at his friend's faith in him.
The school day was over and he and Yaoyorozu were the last to leave after cleaning the classroom. Izuku looked over his shoulder at the taller girl. He'd seen the disappointed look on her face when it had come out he would be Class Rep she really would be best for it, and he had no problem giving it to her, but it wasn't just himself he had to think about. Three people had seen fit to put their trust in him one of them being Iida who wanted the position more than himself, but had turned it down even after Izuku offered it to him.
Izuku took a deep breath before walking over to Yaoyorozu. "Yaoyorozu I know you really wanted the Class Rep position, and to be honest I think you would be a better fit for it than me." He said squeezing the handle of his broom tightly as Momo turned to the boy eying him. He wasn't wrong she did want that position, and she really didn't know why people put so much faith in Midoriya. He was powerful, good natured, and to be honest kinda cute with those freckles of his, but she wouldn't say he inspired confidence as a leader.
"I know I'm being selfish, but I want to give this my best shot even though I know I'm not all that qualified for it, but I can't let down the people who voted for me at least not without trying, but I know I won't get anywhere without you by my side." He said stepping closer to Yaoyorozu who blushed at the close contact stepping back slightly realizing for the first time she was alone with a boy. "I need you Yaoyorozu, so please just give me a chance, but if you say no I'll understand and hand the position over to you right now. I'd rather try with your help then stubbornly hold onto something that I know I'll fail at without you." He said bowing his head to her.
Momo's head was spinning to say the least never before had she been struck with such blatant honesty. Looking at Izuku right now she could kind of see what it was about him that made people put their trust in him. Momo sighed before she spoke. "Raise your head Midoriya I won't abandon you just because you got the position I wanted. I-I'll lend you my full support as your vice representative." She said holding out her hand to Izuku who shook it eagerly.
"Thank you so much Yaoyorozu I'll try not to let you down either." He said with such a bright honest smile Momo felt as if she was staring at a new star as her heart skipped a beat.
It was Friday night and in a darkened room a feminine silhouette writhed on a bed. Her legs squirming as her fingers massaged her core her pelvis rising to meet the invasive digits. "Izuku!" The voice gasped in ecstasy as the other hand massaged her breast toying with the pert nipple as she bit her lip. Images of the green haired boy ran rampant through her mind as she conjured images of said boy pleasuring her. Suddenly her body tensed before flopping down to the bed like a dead fish her chest heaving as she basked in her afterglow. "Oh Izuku I don't think I can wait any longer." The girl spoke her face morphing into a grin of pure satisfaction.
Izuku woke up that Saturday morning early as usual before the sun had even risen and taken his morning run to Dagobah beach his feet hitting the sand just as the sun began cresting above the horizon. He was dressed in a long sleeve shirt and jean shorts his trademark red sneakers on his feet as he began stretching. He was meeting Ojiro here this morning for that sparring session they'd agreed upon, but at the moment that was farthest thing from his mind right now the only thing he could think of was the two dates he had with Uraraka and Toru.
He was still conflicted about whether to date both of them, but the thought of rejecting either made him feel ill. "Izuku you ok?" Ojiro asked having called Izuku's name several times and not getting a response before clapping his hand on Izuku's shoulder watching the green haired boy nearly jump out of his skin.
"OJIRO?!" Izuku said clutching his chest as he stared at Ojiro who wore an expression of confusion and concern.
"Are you alright Izuku you seem distracted." Ojiro said standing there in a plain white t-shirt and karate pants with black and white sneakers.
"Oh no, nothing really just enjoying the sunrise you know." Izuku said rubbing the back of his head as he gave a nervous laugh. Ojiro turned to the rising sun as well and took a deep breath of the salty sea air.
"Well it is nice to appreciate the simple things in life." He said before doing a couple stretches and then took a fighting stance. "Are you ready?" He asked his tail raised as Izuku nodded taking a fighting stance as well. Both waited for a moment before Izuku struck first a straight fist to Ojiro's face who ducked to avoid it sweeping at Izuku's feet with his tail as the green haired boy back flipped out of the way landing on his feet just in time to catch a flying kick from Ojiro and threw him over his shoulder watching the boy spiral in midair before dropping to his feet standing there for a moment as the two stared eachother down before engaging again each throwing and blocking the other's strikes until Izuku seemed to lose focus getting slammed in the stomach by Ojiro's tail being thrown onto his back.
"Izuku are you ok?" The blonde asked holding his hand out to the downed boy who took it and pulled himself into a sitting position on the sand as Ojiro took a seat next to him.
"Yeah I'm good just lost my focus is all." He said rubbing his stomach a little. Ojiro nodded having felt that Izuku's head was somewhere else since he'd arrived.
"That strike you used at the start was a Sun Fist right?" Ojiro asked to which Izuku nodded.
"Which you countered with Dragon Sweeps His Tail and then went into the Shadowless Kick." Izuku said as Ojiro nodded in agreement.
"That you countered with Horse Drinking Water. I knew you would be a good sparring partner. Now do you want to tell me what's got you in such a twist?" Ojiro asked as Izuku sighed deciding to trust Ojiro with his problem.
"I-I have two dates today…with two different girls. I don't want to reject either, but I also don't want to string them along just to avoid a hard decision." Izuku admitted looking at Ojiro expecting a standup guy like him to call him out on such a thing instead Ojiro wore a complete poker face, but as they say still waters run deep and though his face was placid inside Ojiro was filled with several conflicting emotions. The first of which was happiness at his friend's apparent success with the opposite sex, but on the other hand he was a little jealous, within a week Izuku had gotten not one but two dates with different girls. The sting of being so outclassed was a bit much to bear.
Ojiro took a deep breath calming himself as he thought about what to say to Izuku. "Well I'm just going to go with what I think is best. I think you should go on both dates after all these are first dates right?" Ojiro inquired to which Izuku nodded in agreement. "I thought as much so I think you should just go ahead on both after all expecting yourself to make such an important decision without getting to know more about them is a decision doomed to failure. There's always going to be that 'what if' feeling if you didn't go through with one."
Izuku nodded his head thinking about what Ojiro had said and had to admit he was right he couldn't just shut one down without getting to know her. "But wouldn't getting to know them make it that much harder to break things off with one?" Izuku asked to which Ojiro nodded.
"Yes it would but then you'd have a clearer choice and wouldn't regret it as much because in the end you have to choose." Ojiro said as Izuku ran that statement around in his head before standing up.
"I guess so, but I don't want to keep this a secret either. I think being honest with them is for the best. Thanks Ojiro you really helped me out." Izuku said holding out his hand to Ojiro who took it as he stood up.
"No problem I hope things work out for you." Ojiro said as the two shared a fist bump before Izuku went on his way. Ojiro shook his head. "Maybe I'm the one who has it easier not having to weigh other people's hearts on a scale." He said before making his way home as well.
Uraraka was rushing down the sidewalk she was so late and knew it too. She'd spent so much time trying to decide what to wear and now she was late! "I hope Midoriya hasn't been waiting long. Nice going Uraraka late to your first date!" She chastised herself as she rounded the corner and saw Izuku standing under a tree at the entrance to the park. He was dressed in a long sleeve shirt patterned to look like All Might's silver age costume with jeans and his usual red shoes. He looked up seeing Uraraka and waved at her causing the girl's heart to skip a beat as she saw his smile. "I'm so sorry Midoriya I know I'm late." She said clasping her hands in front of her pink and white checkered skirt her arms framing her breasts in her cream yellow shirt.
Izuku gulped looking away from her chest and scratching the back of his head. "No, no I uh haven't been waiting long at all." He said knowing he'd showed up an hour early just to be absolutely sure he wasn't going to be late. Uraraka smiled at his nervous lie trying to make her feel better about being late. Oh Izuku you're so kind. She thought to herself as he offered his arm to her to which she eagerly grabbed hold of. "So uh you said a walk in the park right?" He asked as they began making their way into the park seeing people enjoying their Saturday thoughts of work and school millions of miles away.
Izuku had no idea what to say to break the ice as they walked down the path arm in arm until something popped into his head. "Hey Uraraka why did you decide to become a hero, I mean your quirk could be useful probably anywhere you go. Construction would probably be the most useful place for you. Moving heavy building materials with your quirk would definitely cut down on the manpower needed and expensive equipment." He said looking over at Uraraka who had a wide eyed stare on her face before she exploded.
"That's what I've been saying for years!" She shouted startling the green haired boy. Uraraka covered her mouth as she blushed. "Sorry, sorry it's just my parents own a construction company and once I got my quirk I thought the same thing you did, and they even have licenses for people to use their quirks in specialty jobs like construction and stuff, but my parents thought it wasn't a good idea. They don't want me to have to work a hard job like construction, so instead of doing that I thought if I became a hero and made lots of money I could provide for them like that." She said blushing as she scratched her cheek. "That's a bad reason to become a hero though isn't it?" She asked hoping she hadn't come off as some money hungry girl.
"I don't think so. I think that you're a great person for wanting the money to help your family after all it's not like you're just in it for yourself. You have a goal beyond just you and I think that's special." He said looking down at her as she blushed staring into his brilliant green eyes.
"What about you Midoriya why do you want to become a hero?" Izuku smirked thinking back to his childhood of how he wanted to be just like All Might the symbol of peace. "My reasons have changed over the years. At first it was just to be like All Might and then it was to prove Katsuki wrong that I wasn't a Deku, but then once I helped you in the entrance exam it became clear to me. I just want to help people, no more, no less. I know what it's like to be powerless and I want to show people who feel like that there's always something more, something better." He said before chuckling realizing he'd been rambling. "Sorry about that Uraraka I just got carried away." He said as he turned to her feeling her lips on his once again.
He blushed as he pressed himself against her indulging in the moment before they pulled apart. "I'm sorry it's just I think I fell for you all over again." Uraraka said blushing as they heard a whistle and looked to see a food truck owner with parfait in each hand.
"You too are so sweet together! Here have these on the house." He said as Izuku and Uraraka each took one. "Way to go kid!" The man said giving Izuku a thumbs up and a wink. Izuku blushed heavily as the two walked away to a bench to indulge in their sweets. Hearing Uraraka say she had fallen for him he knew what he had to do now before things went any further.
"Uraraka I-I have something to tell you. I like you, I really do. I find you sweet, cute and a caring person, but I also have another date today with someone else, and it's not that I don't care for you, but I might also care for her. I'm not sure but I owe it to her and to us to find out if there might be something there. I don't want to have any regrets in choosing you and I feel like if I don't do this there might be this big what if hanging over our relationship…do you understand?" Izuku asked as Uraraka stared down at her pastry silently. Izuku feared the worse that he might have ruined something before it was even started, but to his shock Uraraka turned to him with a bright smile.
"I understand Midoriya, you have to do this for us and our relationship I totally get that and I'm happy that you were honest with me from the beginning, but can I ask you something personal you know just between us?" Uraraka asked turning on the most deadly pair of puppy dog eyes he'd ever seen.
"S-sure go ahead." He said swallowing. Uraraka smiled in gratitude.
"Why does Katsuki call you Deku? Is it not short for Dekiru you know as in you can do it?" Uraraka asked as Izuku sucked his teeth at the question. It wasn't something he liked talking about, but given the context that Uraraka gave it, it showed him how nice a person she was.
"Well thanks for giving Katsuki the benefit of the doubt, but no. When I was a kid I wasn't very capable, and Katsuki thought it would be funny to change the letters of my name to mean Deku as in worthless." Izuku balled up the empty wrapper of his Parfait in frustration at his once friend's cruelty.
Uraraka frowned darkly at the realization of how many times she'd heard Katsuki say that to him. "I'm sorry for asking, I thought it sounded cool like the name of a really great hero and I was going to ask if I could call you that too." Uraraka frowned at her oblivious insensitivity. Izuku smiled as he gave a laugh.
"Don't worry about it that's in the past, and sure after what you just told me I'd be more than happy to be called Deku by you." He said as Uraraka smiled hugging Izuku from the side.
"Oh thank you Deku!" She said as Izuku hugged her back before they got up and exited the park heading their separate ways. As Uraraka walked away she bit her thumbnail thinking about what she'd just learned. "I can only assume he was talking about Toru, but I'm not going to back down from this. Izuku told me about this date because he's obviously going to choose me. But what if he doesn't I'll be left out in the cold, I can't take that chance but what can I do?" She said to herself.
Later that evening around five Izuku stared at the building in front of him feeling as if an icy fist was gripping his insides. "T-Toru are you sure about this?" He asked staring at the blinking neon sign. Toru giggled at his side clutching his arm to her chest as she whispered into his ear.
"There's nothing to be afraid of Izuku I'll make sure this is the best experience of your life." She said huskily causing the boy to shiver as she began pulling him inside. Toru walked up to the counter dressed in skinny jeans with white heels and a striped blue and white t-shirt the outfit accentuating her full figure. Izuku swallowed staring at Toru's butt in those tight jeans as she shifted from side to side in excitement. Toru turned around quickly spotting Izuku diverting his eyes from her and smiled as she grabbed his arm again as they were lead down a hallway and stopped in front of a door that opened into a Karaoke room.
Izuku was pulled inside and pushed onto the couch as Toru sat next to him grabbing the tablet on the table and going through the songs. "Ooh I love this song!" Toru said showing him a pop song he'd probably heard a thousand times, but never bothered to listen to.
"Well you should definitely go first. I'm not much into music." He said as Toru started playing the song and singing along. Izuku watched mesmerized by Toru's gyrating body as she became one with the rhythm. Even though she was invisible he could practically see the joy on her face as she let the song move her. This is what he loved about Toru. She was infectious propagating happiness and joy to whoever was around her. She was like a sun raining down rays of elation on everyone who was around her. Toru collapsed down next to Izuku panting slightly as their drinks arrived and she took sip from her Pink Lemonade while Izuku swirled the straw in his soda. He watched her chest rise and fall with each breath and the way her throat moved with each swallow. He found his mouth dry as the Sahara after watching her.
"You know Izuku I never did properly thank you for saving me." She whispered leaning against him her hair tickling his nose smelling of peaches. She nuzzled against him giggling some. "You smell good." She whispered as she placed a hand on his stomach feeling the hard muscle there before dancing her fingers across his abs causing Izuku to laugh.
"Toru stop I'm ticklish." He said grabbing her hand as the other started dancing along his ribs causing him to fall to the side collapsing in a fit of laughter unable to keep Toru from climbing on top of him to continue her assault.
"Say uncle!" Toru said as Izuku bucked upward slamming his pelvis against hers knocking the wind from her as Izuku grabbed hold of her arms holding them at her sides. He took a deep breath to collect himself as the last of his giggles subsided. He looked up at Toru and then to where she was sitting and his eyes grew wide before trying to move out from under her grinding himself against her as he did so causing her to let out a small squeak before she plopped down on the couch.
"Toru I-I'm sorry about that really I am." He said as he heard Toru speak.
"I felt it Izuku." She said sliding closer to him breaking the boy out in a sweat. "It's ok I don't mind really." She said reaching toward his zipper before Izuku stopped her.
"Toru I-I do feel that way about you, but I don't think we should go there just yet." He said as he looked at her holding her hand in between his. "Today I had a date with Uraraka and I'm going to tell you what I told her. I like both of you, but I don't know which one to choose, but I know I can't have you both, that's why I went on both these dates today to see if I could sort this out. I like being with both of you. Toru you were my first friend in a long time and I love being around you. You brighten up everything around you." He said stroking her cheek as he stared into where he assumed her eyes were. "I need time to make a decision, but I wanted you to know how I felt." He said as he sighed.
"It's ok Izuku I-I understand. You're such a good guy I bet you were tying yourself in knots about this weren't you?" She asked cupping Izuku's face. "It's a little sad knowing I wasn't the first to ask you out, but you still said yes. You risked everything to spare my feelings by telling us both the truth. That's the reason I like you so much. You're everything I want in a boy and even if you don't pick me I know you'll still be the best friend I'll ever have." She said moving forward and kissing him wrapping her arms around his neck as she crawled into his lap and wrapped her legs around his waist. It was like she was some amorous octopus and he was her willing prey. He could feel Toru's passion invading his body and her desperation to have this moment last as long as possible. Not wanting to disappoint Izuku squeezed Toru against him running his hands through her hair filling his nose with her scent as they massaged each other's lips before coming up for air. Both were panting as Toru climbed out of his lap rearranging her clothes as Izuku did the same both standing up.
"We should probably go our times almost up." He said as he opened the door for her and the duo went out into the cool night air. "Let's get you home Toru." He said as he offered her his arm again and the two walked off through the darkened streets before they were cut off by several familiar figures.
"Well, well if it isn't the little shit who ambushed us and stole our test subject." Izuku looked at the one who spoke a tall man with slime hair running down from his head alongside him were two other familiar faces the lizard man and Squidface in addition to the three were several other males all looking at Izuku and Toru. "What a surprise meeting you again. Now I can pay you back for what you did to my face!" Slime shouted pointing at the scars across his face as the group advanced on Izuku and Toru.
"Izuku what are we going to do?" Toru asked as Izuku stayed in front of her as they were steadily corralled into a deserted alley. He clenched his fists ready for a fight until he heard something and ducked pulling Toru with him as a spray of blood painted the walls where they had been. Slime watched in confusion as Lizard man and Squidface fell to the ground headless.
"What the fuck!?" He shouted looking at Izuku and Toru before turning to the rest of his group finding them equally as dead and a man with a red scarf and cloth mask stood there. The long jagged blade he carried stained with blood as he looked at Slime with the intensity of the sun and coldness of a blizzard. The man moved and Izuku found himself moving as well blocking the sword swing at the man's wrist before going for a palm strike which the man avoided sliding to the side and dropping his sword from the hand Izuku held catching it with the other and swinging making Izuku let go as he jumped back from the blade. The two stood on opposite walls of the alley.
"Why would you protect this scum?" The man questioned Izuku as Slime and Toru stood still.
"He may be a criminal, but I can't let you kill him, even he deserves the chance to change his ways in the future." Izuku said as he and the stranger locked eyes. The stranger smiled.
"Splinter has trained you well boy, but he's still not willing to do what's necessary." The stranger said rushing Izuku before jumping above him onto the wall and throwing a knife at Slime before climbing up the wall to the roof of the building. Izuku realized he had been faked out and activating full cowl dashed forward to grab the knife, but was too late the knife embedded itself between Slime's eyes.
Izuku watched his body fall in slow motion before hitting the ground with his face forever stuck in that shocked expression. Izuku fell to his knees as Toru came to embrace him. "Izuku are you ok?" She asked as she pulled out her phone and called the police as Izuku stared down at the dead thug.
"I-I couldn't save him, I was right there and I couldn't keep him from being killed." He whispered to himself. This failure weighed heavy on him, how was it possible that even with this new power he couldn't keep a single person from dying? The police arrived quickly and took Izuku and Toru's statement before letting them go as Izuku was walking away he heard one of the officers commenting on the crime scene.
"Hero Killer Stain strikes again, but this is the first time he's saved someone, what's his deal? He goes around killing heroes and then suddenly decides to off some thugs? Doesn't make sense" Izuku kept that thought in mind as he said goodnight to Toru. He couldn't help, but go over the fight with Stain those moves the way he wielded his sword, they were all known to him, and worse he knew Master Splinter. What could it all mean? He thought to himself as he got home and went into his room his thoughts plagued by thoughts of Stain and his inability to save that thug. "I couldn't save him, I failed." He whispered to himself as he fell asleep.
