Summary
Tension between heroes and villains has escalated past simple, uncoordinated clashes. Each side has become more organized, more desperate to be the ultimate victor. Heroic courses now start in middle school; children with strong and powerful quirks placed on a list in order to be groomed before villains can groom them first. Villains have rallied under One for All, no longer disordered and scattered throughout Japan. As a result, One for All is a name passed around through hushed whispers, sowing fear in the hearts of all. However, this rise to the public eye has also helped the heroes. Citizens, concerned for their lives and others, look desperately to the heroes to defeat the man who severely injured the number one hero, All Might. There are a few that push back against this government incursion, but they are ignored and silenced as the citizens of Japan lap up the black and white propaganda that the hero commission puts out: villains are bad, heroes are good. But many reside in the grey area between. Izuku Midoriya is one of these residents, stolen as a child and forced to be a villain due to his powerful quirk. After years of this, he’s had enough of both heroes and villains, and intends to do something about it.

Summary
“You’re gonna change the world, Izuku.”
Izuku, at the time, had nodded gleefully. Under the impression that his father meant as hero, as that has always been Izuku’s dream.
But that’s not what happens, when his father clasps his hand in his larger, hotter one. Thats not what happens when Izuku is led to some big building, worn down and labeled as ‘keep out.’
He doesn’t know what’s going on, or at least he didn’t —
Because know here he is, on the bed on the floor, his back aching and his head pounding. Here he is, alone and locked away like some sort of prisoner.

Summary
“There has been a tragedy today. A fire started only hours ago in an apartment complex right here in Musutafu. The origins of the fire seem to have been from one unit, of which the flames, thankfully, were mostly localized. The two living in this unit, Inko and Izuku Midoriya, are the tragic victims of this fire. Izuku, according to our sources, was celebrating his fifth birthday today, leading authorities to believe that a candle may have been the culprit, but it’s still too early to say. Inko’s body has been recovered, but authorities are still working to find Izuku’s. There have been no other casualties and no major damages to surrounding units. We offer our condolences to those living in the area, and to the Midoriya’s. We hope they find Izuku soon…”
Nine years after being taken, Izuku gives up hope of ever being rescued.

Summary
It’s still like the aftermath of a bomb or when a forest goes silent in the presence of a predator, something bigger and badder. The clanging of keys in Izuku’s limp hand are the only sound for a second. Then footsteps, slow stalking footsteps, different from a woman’s. Heavier and not even trying to be quiet. But maybe that’s intentional.
Aizawa-sensei comes around the corner like a ghost. It will probably haunt him for the rest of his days the way the teacher looks standing in his home. Dark eyes that are always half a blink away from red whenever he sees Izuku. Holding some emotion that Izuku could never place until now— possessiveness but also love. Overflowing like a cup, practically brimming with it like an over-ripe fruit about to burst on his tongue. The sick sweetness of it makes him want to gag.
He couldn’t see it before. But now he does. He does.
I see you.
