Captured

It was as if time had slowed down as Shigaraki reached for Tsuyu. Izuku's mind started to fill with the thought of one of his friends dying right before his eyes. Before he could even move, Shigaraki had touched Tsuyu…but nothing happened.

"Damn it…" he said in disappointment. "You really are cool…Eraser Head."

There he was, still being pounded by the Nomu. He kept resisting for as long as could to save his student. The Nomu smashed his head into the ground again.

"Let go of her." Izuku demanded as he took hold of Shigaraki's wrist. Tsuyu and Minoru noticed something about Izuku and the way he said that. He sounded as if he was angry, which not something Izuku was known for. But that's not what they were worried about. His glove wasn't on his hand. It was retracted onto his wrist.

Shigaraki's sleeve and skin started to slowly turn gray. Izuku's white eyes gave a glare through his black bangs.

Shigaraki yanked his wrist from Izuku's grasp and backed away. He looked at his arm and saw his skin starting to dry and crumble just a bit.

"Izuku," Tsuyu said. "I thought you said they would die if you touch them."

"Well," Izuku answered, not taking his eyes off of Shigaraki. "I've been working on my Quirk. I can sort of slow down how fast they die. It's frightening sometimes."

Shigaraki stared at Izuku as the lower part of his arm slowly curmbled. "Maybe it was a bit early to come a get you…it doesn't matter. We may as well take you now. Nomu…"

Faster then the blink of an eye, the Nomu whooshed past Tsuyu and Minoru, then picked up Izuku and stood next to Shigaraki. He may have been even faster then All Might.

"Izuku!" Tsuyu and Minoru called out.

Just then, a trail of ice traveled toward Nomu and crawled up half his body, freezing him and keeping him in one place. Although, it's not like it was going to keep him there for long.

"And here I thought they were after to kill All Might when they really just want to kidnap students." Shoto said as he walked closer toward villains.

"Get they hell out of the way, half'n'half!" Katsuki suddenly went zooming toward Shigaraki with Eijiro right next to him. Katsuki swung his arm with a right hook and let an explosion loose in Shigaraki face while Eijiro used his hardening and punched him in the gut. Shigaraki went flying at least eight feet.

"K- Kacchan!" Izuku said, thanking God that his friend was okay.

"Eh? What the hell are you doing with Deku, huh?" Katsuki glared at the Nomu, then at Shigaraki. "I'll kill you!"

"Katsuki, wait a minute! Don't rush in like that!" Eijiro yelled as Katsuki zoomed toward the Nomu and Deku.

"You idiot!" Shoto insulted. "Stay away from them!"

Of course, Katsuki didn't listen, he just kept going straight toward Izuku, thinking he could rescue him from Nomu's clutches.

"Get out of the way, kid…" Shigaraki said as he suddenly stood in front of the Nomu and held a hand out, planning to kill Katsuki.

"Katsuki! Stay away from him!" Minoru screamed at Katsuki. "You'll die if he touches you!"

"Shut up, extras!" Katsuki demanded. He finally reached Shigaraki and thrusted a hand toward his face.

Suddenly, Izuku landed in Shigaraki's head and buried his head, causing him to fall over and completely miss Katsuki.

"What the hell?" Katsuki exclaimed.

Izuku have a sigh of relief as he pointed at Nomu, who's hands were completely gone. There was nothing except for little piles of dust and his wrists were dimmed with gray, dead skin.

"I was able to get away out of desperation." Izuku mumbled. "You can't just rush in like that!"

Katsuki flinched a little as he felt himself shrink in Izuku's presence, feeling as if he'd been defeated.

Izuku rubbed his head irritatedly as Shigaraki started to get up again.

"Damn it, I just keep getting beat up today." Shigaraki muttered.

"Haaaa! Hahaha!" A deep laugh was heard as a muscular figure fell from the ceiling and landed in a T pose, right in front of Izuku and Katsuki. "I had a bad feeling, so I tore myself from my conversation with the principal. Then I passed that kid, Tenya Iida, on my way here, and I knew something had to be wrong."

All Might. A smile of desperation and impatience came to Shigaraki's face. Finally, All Might was here. They wanted to kill All Might, they're going to get All Might.

"Fear not, students," All Mightt said as he threw his yellow jacket and ripped off his blue tie. "Because I am here!"

"All Might!" Izuku said with relief.

Shigaraki smiled wickedly as he stood near the Nomu. Nomu's hands started to regenerate while it have a low growl of impatience and excitement.

"Nomu," Shigaraki pointed at All Might. "Kill him."

Without giving any sort of response, Nomu lunged at All Might, throwing his fist at the muscular blonde.

"My, your strong!" All Might caught the fist with both his hands as gusts of wind were created.

As Nomu and All Might kept up with their fight, Eijiro and Shoto let out sighs, relieved that All Might made it.

"Good thing All Might is here, we should go now and leave it to him!" Eijiro's suggested.

"Yes, let's go." Shoto agreed.

"Wait a damn second," Katsuki said as he looked around. "Where the hell is Deku?"

"How careless."

Katsuki's eyes widened as he turned to see Izuku. Right behind him was Kurogiri, the warp gate villain. Purple smoke surrounded Izuku, covering his mouth so he wouldn't be of a nuisance.

"Damn it, Deku!" Katsuki reached for Izuku as he became engulfed by the warp gate.

"Katsuki!" Eijiro tried grabbing Katsuki, but missed as he zoomed passed.

Before Katsuki could reach him, Izuku had been completely swallowed by Kurogiri, then disappeared.

"Nomu, stay here and kill him." Shigaraki said as he backed into a warp gate and disappeared.

"Tch," Katsuki grit his teeth as he glared in frustration. "DAMN IT!"

—————

"Ow," Izuku rubbed his head as he tried looking around. The outlines of things were blurred because of the travel through the warp gate.

"Welcome, Izuku Midoryia." Kurogiri said, causing Izuku to flinch.

"Ohhh, Izuku!" A familiar girl's voic said. The one from the alleyway that day. "You really brought him over Shiggy!"

"Shut up." Shigaraki demanded.

Izuku turned his head to look around. All he could see were blurry lines. Why was it so loud right now? Where weas he? What did the villains want with him. Questions filled his mind as panic began to sink in.

"Izuku, relax." A raspy voice said as a hand rested on his shoulder. "No one's going to hurt you…unlike those fools and bastards."

"What? Fools and bastards? What are you talking about?" Izuku asked as he backed away from Shigaraki. "I don't think they're any of those."

"Really?" Shigaraki tilted his head and took off the hand that was on his face. "That's weird, because up until now, you were always doubtful of the people around you."

Izuku didn't answer. Shigaraki wasn't wrong at all. In fact, he was completely correct. Izuku was okay with being near his classmates, but he never dropped his hairs near any of them. He was always careful while being around them. Then it hit him.

"A villain." Izuku said. "Is that it?"

"Define 'villain.'" Shigaraki answered.

"You and that girl. I don't where she is, but both of you attacked me and pulled me into an alleyway. This black scar I have, I think it's the cause of that voice in my head. You want me to be a villain with you."

"You're really smart. But you missed one small detail."

"What would that be?"

Shigaraki sighed with a smile. "You never realized how similiar our Quirks are?"

Izuku didn't respond but gave a look of surprise. What was he on about? Similiar Quirks? Shigaraki only used his Quirk once, and even that wasn't enough for blind Izuku to figure out what it was.

"What are you talking about?" Izuku asked.

"Are you sure this is the boy, Tomura Shigaraki?" Kurogiri asked. "You said he was a lot smarter then this. Now that I look at him, you never told me he was blind."

"It's what he was born with, not an illness, you idiot." Shigaraki fanned at Kurogiri dismissively. "He's just confused. And sooner or later, that weird potion will help him think better and more clearly."

Red potion? Help Izuku think clearly? What was the res potion for? Was that the stuff on their hands when he was attacked? Is that the cause of why he's been hearing a ghost of himself?

"Calm down," Shigaraki said. "There's no reason to freak out. All I asked was if you noticed how similar our Quirks are."

"I don't know what you want out of that question." Izuku said. "You may not be lying about anything, but I still can't trust a villain."

Shigaraki tilted his head and gave an irritated look. He was starting to get frustrated little by little. "Villain? What makes a villain, Izuku Midoryia? Murder? Kidnapping? Stealing? Breaking and entering? Tell me, I'd like to hear what you have to at."

"All of the above." Izuku answered right off the bat. "All those things may not be as villainous at first, but it's a path toward a criminal's world."

"Hmm, how very honest of you. But did you know that heroes aren't what they seem?"

Izuku had thought about that very few times. Were heroes really what they seem to be? We're villains all that bad?

"There's a rumor being passed around. A whisper about heroes. Wanna hear it?" Shigaraki said as he sat down on a chair nearby, ignoring Izuku's silence. "You know, heroes aren't supposed to kill, right? You of all people should know that. But there's a problem. Heroes have fought villains with the intent to kill. They try killing, but never do because they're caught. And those heroes are still let off easy."

Izuku didn't want to believe it. This was the whisper about heroes? Why? And how? Heroes aren't supposed to kill. and if they are, why would they go so far?

"There was a villain who died just a few weeks ago." Shigaraki broke Izuku of his thoughts. "I didn't wonder what the cause was, I already knew. Heroes."

A look of shock was slapped onto Izuku face. Never had he heard of a hero killing a villain. They most likely didn't want the public to think so low of heroes, so they covered it up with a fake story.

"Now, back to my original question," Shigaraki threw his hands out theatrically. "Our Quirks are so similiar. It's interesting, don't you think?"

"I- I'd rather not think of how interesting it is." Izuku said, fidgeting with his hands with anxiety and nervousness.

"Oh, come on. What do you have to lose? Do you expect the heroes to come to your rescue when they never have? The worst thing that could happen is you kow what the heroes do truthfully."

"I- I realize how similiar they are, but w- what does that have to do with anything? There are plenty of people who have similiar Quirks."

"Yes, but you and I have almost the same Quirks. I know it's in there, you just don't want to admit it."

"Admit what exactly?"

The corners of Shigaraki's mouth were raised into a smile. He red eyes stared at Izuku, like a piercing needle.

"Don't you know that we're brothers?"
