Ha ha ha, this is about you
Katsuki was had a rough fucking day, the villain from downtown had gotten away and had injured 20 citizens during the escape. A group of villains had come to pick up the leader. What started as a measly robbery ended as a drive-by shooting.
Beware, beware, be skeptical
The villain he fought looked kinda familiar, but Katsuki couldn't, for life of him figure out why. The hair? The body size? Voice? What the fuck was it??
Of their smiles, their smiles of plated gold
He slipped into his car and turned on the radio. A weird ass song was playing good for background noise while he thought. Could they be targeting him? Yah right, like they had a reason to. He was always the perfect child. Good grades, great quirk, got into the best school in the nation, good friends-
Deceit so natural
He gripped the steering wheel tighter. The Laugh. He knew that laugh from somewhere. Where? Why couldn’t he fucking remember?
But a wolf in sheep's clothing is more than a warning
Oh- now he remembered. From Junior High. That one day.
Bla-bla-black sheep, have you any soul?
“If you want a quirk so bad, why don’t you take a swan dive off the roof and hope for one in your next life. Shitty Deku!” A notebook exploded in his hand as people behind him laughed.
“Is that really what you want?” Emerald eyes looked up from behind a mane of hair. “Would you really want me to die? And have that left on your record? Accomplice in suicide? Cuz i can if you really want.” The boy on the ground got up and brushed himself off, grabbing the burnt notebook out of Katsuki’s hand.
The boy laughed. A crazed smile on his face. “How would you become a hero if you were a murder Kacchan?” His green eyes gleamed, “I know it would benefit everyone if I were gone.”
The green haired boy walked toward the exit, stopping in the doorway, “Say it again? With meaning this time, and I will.”
The boy fully turned around and met the shocked gazes of those in the room.
And started laughing “Oh god! You can’t can you! Not when you know I will!” His laugh was a terrifying mainical sound. “Losers” He turned and walked up the stairs.
No sir, by the way, what the hell are morals
No Fucking way. It couldn’t be him. The quirkless idiot had walked up those stairs and thrown himself off. There was no way he could be alive.
Jack, be nimble, Jack, be quick
Shit! It did explain all the weapons used, and how no one had seen a quirk. No- it couldn't be him. He was too nice, cared too much- he could never have a kill count of over 300, he would never have a kill count period.
Jill's a little whore and her alibis are dirty tricks
The police had no leads. It could be anybody. And Deku had been said to live for 3 days after the- the attempt. He could have left then? Ran away to join villains? No- he was dead. Stop looking for him in places he’ll never be Katsuki! Fuck!
So could you- Tell me how you're sleeping easy, How you're only thinking of yourself
It was his fault Deku was dead, but that didn’t mean he could still look for signs Deku being alive.
Show me how you justify Telling all your lies like second nature
No one knew. There was no note or anything. Only those in the room for Deku’s speech knew why he had gone and- and-
Listen, mark my words, one day You will pay, you will pay
Katsuki started the car. Now wasn’t the time to freak out over some minor unimportant incident of the past.
Karma's gonna come collect your debt
----------------------------------
Aware, aware, you stalk your prey
He watched as Ground Zero got into a car and put his head on the wheel. He stayed like that for a good five minutes before driving off. The criminal followed the red car as it followed the late afternoon traffic to an apartment complex.
With criminal mentality
He watched as the hero got out and into the lobby and took the stairs on the left. The man on the roof watched the windows the hero past until he turned on the light in a room on the sixth floor. ‘Gotcha.’
You sink your teeth into the people you depend on
Why had anyone been that violent man’s friend? Society was fucked up these days, no one cared about attitude, or suicides, only quirks. You had to have a good ‘hero’ quirk to fit into society.
Infecting everyone, you're quite the problem
----------------------------------
Feefifofum, you better run and hide
Katsuki had the feeling he was being watched? As if the villains he dealt with all decided to gang up and take him out.
I smell the blood of a petty little coward
If someone was looking for a fight they should just come out and do so. Unless they couldn’t- unless they knew the only way to win would be when he was vulnerable. No, no, now he’s just overreacting.
Jack, be lethal, Jack, be slick
Katsiku didn’t care anymore, after two hours he was unsettled. He picked up his phone and sent text.
yo, dude?
Yeah? wassup
Can i spend the night?
U wanna spend time with me?
WhY? What’s wrong?
I just feel-
I'm pretty sure im being watched
And it unsettling And i want outta here
Yeah dude, c’mon over.
The gang is spending the night
It’ll be great to see y’all again
Jill will leave you lonely dying in a filthy ditch

So could you Tell me how you're sleeping easy How you're only thinking of yourself
“Yo! Bro! Im glad youre okay what set you off?” His red haired friend through an arm over his shoulders. “You okay? You seemed really off in your texts.”
“I’ll be fine. I just- everything is making me fucking anxious right now.” Katsuki looked around as he said that. Taking in potential hiding places and exits.
“It’ll be okay bro. We’re heros now. We got eachothers backs. The Bakusquad won’t let anything get to you while we’re here!”
Despite his fear, Katsuki found himself smiling at Kirishima. “The WHAT now?” He asked with small explosions in his palms for show.
“COME ON BRO!” Katsuki was pulled into the house laughing.
Show me how you justify Telling all your lies like second nature
----------------------------------
Listen, mark my words, one day You will pay, you will pay
A week. He had to wait a whole fucking week to get Ground Zero alone. That man knew something was off. Just lay off for a couple days, let him let down his guard.
Karma's gonna come collect your debt~
Annnnnndddd--
Now!
Hit to the head as he walks past the ally. Drag the body further in. Bind, gag, and blind, the man. Last part of kidnapping a hero, walk into a teleportation mist as to not be tracked.
0~0
Maybe you'll change If only people could change Abandon all your wicked ways Don’t we all wish that was possible Make amends and start anew again Beg for my forgiveness Maybe you'll see~ All the wrongs you did to me As if you could, you never realised you were in the wrong And start all over, start all over again
Who am I kidding
“Kacchan! Wake up!” A slap to the face, punch to the gut, knife in the foot. “I won’t say it again. Wake up Kacchan!”
The man bound in the chair finally roused with the tenth slap.
“Hello~” The criminal sang. “Welcome to the world of the living! We love having you!” The cheerful voice turned into a growl.
“Now, let's not get overzealous here
You've always been a huge piece of shit
If I could kill you I would
But it's frowned upon in all fifty states
Having said that, burn in hell”
The villain proceed to stab the Hero in the stomach, twisting the knife up to the hilt. “It’s so nice to see you again Kacchan.”
----------------------------------
So tell me how you're sleeping easy How you're only thinking of yourself
Katsuki woke to pain and a face, a face he remembered. A face he saw laying dead in a coffin. The face of a death he was responsible for. The face of a childhood friend he killed.
Show me how you justify Telling all your lies like second nature
“Deku?”
“Ahhh, so cute, using thant nickname~” Deku cooed, “Well, I’ll have you know” his voice turned deeper, more menacing, “I’m not that useless little kid you knew anymore. And I’m gonna be the last thing you see.”
Telling all your lies like second nature
“Izuku.” Katsuki was in shock, he was in pain, but he couldn’t take his eyes off the man in front of him.
“Izuku? That’s what you’re calling me now,” Izuku turned around holding another dagger. “Where was that formatility when we were kids huh? Did my death actually scare you that much?” He stalked over to the chair Katsuki was tied to.
Listen, mark my words, one day
The man in front of him dragged the dagger across his jaw. “You’ve tried, so hard to change haven’t you? You have actual friends now,” the knife cut into his face “and it only took one death to get you there.” Katsuki was terrified. He always hoped that Izuku would be alive, but to see him like this? He never imagined Izuku ending up a villain.
The knife in his stomach was twisted deeper, and just as he screamed out in pain the dagger on his face found home in his chest.
You will pay, you will pay

Breaking news: Number 6 Hero Found Dead Last night
The number six hero has been found after being missing for the last three days. Reports say he was tortured to death, the body was at least four days old when the police found him. No one knows for sure what happened but there was a case file found next to him. We don’t know who the people in the case are but we have been able to link one of the names to a suicide from six years ago. We don’t know if the people on the list are targets or accomplices, but graduates of Aldera Junior High from six years ago should be on guard and cautious. Why this happened to a well known hero the other Heroes and police are still trying to figure out-
