Chương 3: It's my fault
Izuku was walking on the street back to his home and his bag was hanging to his right shoulder because the other one was hurting like hell and he was pretty damn sure that he dislocated his shoulder, his phone's battery finally died out because it had stopped ringing.
Walking on the street he realized that it was his first time wandering the streets so late in the night or so early in the morning. Every hero or a member of the demon slayer corp he encountered on his way back stopped and asked him questions like- Where was he going? Why was he out so late? This and that so it took him almost half an hour to reach home.
Standing in front of his house he was hesitating to press the doorbell because he didn't know what might his mom do, maybe she had already found out about today's incident. After a few minutes of standing there, he finally decided to press the doorbell. He didn't have to wait for long and his mom opened the door she is a chubby lady who has green hair tied a the back of her head and looked like in her late 30's. The moment she looked at Izuku the first thing she did was, she slapped him. Izuku was not surprised by her actions because he never expected that her mom would do this, he thought that just like every time he will saw his mom standing in front of him with a big bright smile on her face, but now he didn't know what to make out of this situation.
But when he looked towards his mom she was not angry but instead of tears were falling from her eyes, at first he thought that she knew everything and was disappointed in him and he was about to get scolded by her and the only person in this world who support him was about to abandon him. He was expecting the worse but nothing happened as he thought.
His mom hugged him and started crying, after a few moments when she let go of his she looked straight into his eyes and Izuku's body stiffened not because he was scared but because he didn't know what to saw or what kind of excuse will work.
Inko wiped her tears and asked with an angry tone "Where... were you."
Now Izuku's mind was working in overdrive because he knew that no matter what he saw she will find out that he is lying so he thought that silence is the best answer.
"IZUKU, I am asking you something." She said with an annoyed tone.
'Maybe she still didn't know what happened today. What should I tell her? I can't tell her what I did, she may never want to see my face again. DAMN IT!!! Think you bastard.' After a few moments of silence, he spoke up.
"Mom… I… I am sorry."
"Sorry!! Is that all you want to say? Do you even know how worried I was, you didn't even answer my calls. I thought that something might have happened to you, what I would have done. You didn't even tell me something beforehand. I… I…" She starts crying.
He just stood there watching his mom cry in front of him and he was in pain, he thought about what he was about to do and now he felt like throwing up. He was about to do something horrible without even thinking about the consequences, no matter how many people hated him but there was someone who still loved him and now he was regretting his actions.
He stood there for a while before his mom's voice dragged him out own his thoughts.
"How long are you going to stand there?" His mom said with a smile on her face but her eyes and cheek were still red. The moment he saw his mom's face it felt like something hit him in the chest because after all this she was not truly angry with him and the more he thinks about this his chest felt heavier and heavier and he just wanted to burst out crying but still, he was holding all those emotions back.
He walked into the house and was opening his shoes and was trying his hardest not to cry.
"Do you want something to eat?" His mom asked.
"No, I didn't feel like it. You should go ahead and sleep. I will take a shower before bed and if I feel like it, I will eat something."
Inko went to her room and Izuku put his bag in his room and went to the bathroom and there he was standing below the shower, the water was a little cold but it felt nice and helped relax his muscles but after a while, he burst out crying.
His mind was a big mess now he thought committing suicide will solve his problem but he realized if he did so he will only prove them right, he can't help but curse himself. His motto in life was to work hard and prove to everybody that he can be equal or maybe above them, but now that his idol All might is also one of those people that see him as nothing more than trash. All might mere existence was enough to bring a smile to Izuku's face, he was the biggest motivation in his life.
Watching All might he learned to smile even in difficult times in life which someone like him needed. But today for some reason all the time he watched All might on T.V. now seemed like a waste of time to him. Whatever All might have said to him was echoing in his mind again and again like a broken record.
Maybe if he had not let his emotions get the better of him maybe if he had tried his hardest to save his friend, then All might must have praised him and Kaachan might have understood that he is not some worthless nobody, but now he had blown his chance and he will never get an opportunity like that again.
He got out of the shower and went to his room. He looked at all the posters of All might in his room and like before every time he looked at them they encouraged him but this time only his heartaches. Without paying any attention to them he turns on his PC and looked at the news and he found an article about yesterday's incident. He opened that article and just as he expected he was also in that article.
The article may be about All might defeating the sludge villain but the one they talked about more was not All might it was him, everything that happened there was described with extreme detail every word that All might said and even the psychopathic smile that was on his face. Izuku read the article a few times and couldn't help but let out a sad sigh before closing it.
He opened his bag and took out all the torn-up pages of his hero journal and pick up a new notebook from his shelf and started writing all the things in his new notebook. He truly didn't want to do it but somewhere in his mind he still didn't want to give up his dream. Sure he was disappointed in himself, demotivated, and hopeless but still, he just didn't want to give up after all those years of beating, getting abused, and being treated like trash was not for giving up in the end.
Before long it was morning and he heard the doorbell ring, he got startled and panicked a little but he knew sooner or later it will happen so he got up and walked to the front door and without any hesitation, he opened it and just as he expected three people were standing in front of him two of them were in black suit both of them looked like in their 30's and the one in front of them were Bakugo's mom. The moment Izuku opened the door Mitsuki slapped him so hard that he dropped on the floor.
Luckily he wasn't beaten anymore because the two men behind Mitsuki stopped her but for Izuku the most interesting thing was how hard she slapped her because even his nose started to bleed, but she was Bakugo's mom so there was no surprise
"Izuku Midoriya, I presume." He took out a badge from the pocket of his suit and showed it to him. "We are from the police department you have to come with us, is there someone we can talk to?"
He stood up and wiped the blood dripping from his nose. "I'll get my mom." He walked to his mom's room where she was still sleeping. He gently tapped he shoulder a few time before she wakes up.
"I...zu...ku what's wrong?"
"Someone's at the door, they want to talk to you." He said and walks away, now Inko was worried so she quickly got up and went out of the room and saw Izuku walking out of the house with someone and also saw Mitsuki with men in a black suit standing at their doorstep.
It's been a few hours and Izuku is sitting in an interrogation room from outside he may look calm but from inside he was a mess. Trying to calm himself by useless thoughts like-
'Man! I am hungry. I should have eaten something when mom asked me to, 'cause I don't think they will let me go any time soon.'
After a while, a man again in a black suit entered the room he had a file in his hand which has Izuku's photo on it, he looked quite young for this kind of job he had black hair and black eyes handsome face and was at least 6 foot tall.
He slammed the file on the table a take a seat facing Izuku he started at him before speaking up.
"Izuku Midoriya, a junior high student, a quirkless boy, tries to kill someone. Care to explain?" He asked in a serious tone but Izuku didn't say anything.
"Look bastard I don't have time for bullshit, I am already going easy on you, don't this hard for yourself.
Just say 'Yes' or 'No'
It was pretty clear that your actions were intentional, but I want to hear it from you... So, what do you did was intentional?" He asked in a serious tone.
"Yes," Izuku said and the man stood up and started to walk away.
"Can I... Still, be a hero after all this?" When he heard what Izuku said he stopped but didn't turn around and started to laugh he came back and sat on the chair, he laughed for a while but suddenly his expressions changed and he had a serious look on his fave.
"No kid you can't be a hero like this, I doubt that you will be able to return to your normal life after this, we tried that your name won't get out but you know.
You are already pretty deep in the pit and including All might's name just made the situation worse for you."
There was silence and none of them anything but after a while, Izuku spoke up.
"I regret what I did." As tears were floating down his face.
"It's a good thing that you understand what you did and take responsibility for them, but nothing can be done about it.
You are minor so they won't take any major actions against you, so don't worry too much." Again he stood up and started to walk away but before leaving the room he stopped and said "You should give up on that dream and try improving your life from now on." And he left the room.
...
Inko was sitting in an office in front of an officer and sitting there with a sad expression on her face she still can't believe that all of this happened and she was hearing this from someone else and not her own son, at first when they told her what happened she refuses to believe it but truth can't be changed no matter how much you deny it.
After a while, the door behind them opened and Izuku entered the room so Inko instantly stood up and grabbed him "Izuku, is this true?"
"Yes"
Inko can't believe what he said sure they showed her the videos of the whole incident but she still wanted to hear it from her son and now that she had she still can't believe this.
"Why?" She asked with tears in her eyes.
He stayed silent for a while "I don't know... Maybe I was just too jealous of him."
When Inko heard what he said she couldn't help but take a few steps back and tears started to fall from her eyes, but before Izuku could say anything he heard a knock on the door he turns around and saw an officer signaling him with his hand to come on. So he turned around and started to walk away but he says something before leaving.
"HEY mom, don't be sad. None of this is your fault. It's mine."
'Afterall, everything is'
He still believed that what he did was wrong but nobody even cares to know why he truly did it or what even happened with him, because nobody cares because he was just some nobody without a quirk. So was it so easy for someone like him to be the victim all the time? He knew that it was his fault but somewhere deep inside he knew that it wasn't.
