Chapter XXXVI

It had been some time since Kirishima's interrogation with the criminal, while the man hadn't given any other information, the police were able to find the main ring where most of the crimes were committed.

The only problem.

The place was ginormous. And they had only been able to get the task team and a few others on board to join the raid on the main ring, while others went to go scout and raid the other smaller rings.

While Kirishima insisted that Izuku go help the other smaller teams with scouting and raiding the smaller rings, Izuku was stubborn and didn't relent on coming along for the raid on the main ring. Especially after reading the report Kirishima had made.

Though he wasn't the only one. Keigo had made it clear that he was coming along as well, hell bent on finding the man who had kidnapped his son, though he would have to race Kirishima for that.

The Alpha soon learning from some scouts that the man that kidnapped Izuku was still there, only, he now ran the whole place. So, both Keigo and Kirishima were going after him, to settle few old scores.

While Izuku couldn't care less about that man, honestly doing whatever he could to force his mind away from the memories he had of his abuser. The youngers prime focus was on the people inside, especially the kids. He knew what a place such as that could do to you, and he would be damned if he would ever dare allow another child to go through what he had.

So, when the day finally arrived, the area was surrounded, and they were all just waiting for Endeavors signal. "Izuku" Kirishima whispered to the younger, while golden eyes then turned to look towards Kirishima.

"Promise me you'll be careful; promise me you'll be safe. And if you get hurt don't hesitate to heal yourself. Please" Kirishima practically begged, worry and fear clear in his voice.

Izuku immediately hugged the red head, allowing a small purr to escape him in order to comfort the older male. Kirishima didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around the younger as a small whine escaped him.

"Eijirou, it'll be fine. I promise I'll be alright. Just trust me." Izuku stated quietly as Kirishima only nodded in return. Though refusing to release his grip around Izuku.

"Red Riot, Archangel." The two then turned to look at Keigo as he landed in front of them, a small yet reassuring smile on his face.

"Da- Hawks, is everything okay?"

"It is hatchling, and don't worry no one can hear us, besides its not a secret that you're my child." Keigo stated with a bit of a laugh as he puffed out his wings.

"I'll be taking the south quadrant; will you be taking the north, right Hawks?" Kirishima asked as the older Pro merely nodded.

"I'll meet you half way to the center. From what we've learned that's most likely where the big boss is at." Keigo stated while Kirishima only hummed in understanding.

"Oi!! Get ready the signal is coming in a second!" Bakugou shouted to those around him, while everyone prepared to charge in.

As Endeavor gave the signal everyone charged in as a few lackeys sprung out and tried to stop them, only to be taken down quickly by a few other Pro's as the task team, Endeavor, and Hawks made it into the main building.

Everything seemed to go by in a blur, from children as young as 5, and adults as old as 24 running out of the building, or being carried out by Pros, though most of the Pro's fighting the villains, seeing as most of the villains had powerful quirks.

Izuku made sure to check every single room, the flashbacks of the fire becoming present in his mind as the screams of terrified innocents, to injured Pro Hero's filled his ears. But he refused to leave until he knew everyone was safe.

A few villains had attacked him, though Izuku was able to take them down easily and handcuff them as he sent his feathers to drop them off outside to the police, though despite his promise he paid no mind to the injuries that he had sustained, nor did he make any attempt to heal them.

Finally, Izuku had checked all of the cells, and after getting everybody out he only then began to feel his injuries. Groaning quietly at the dull aches that were quickly turning into burns of sorts, he placed his hand on his chest as he attempted to spread the healing to his entire body.

Though when quiet and well-placed footsteps crept closer to him, he quickly drew his sword and turned to face the one who was walking towards him. His wounds still unhealed, only now causing him far worse pain.

"My, my. How you have grown. A Pro Hero I see, much like your father. Though I'm surprised they would allow that Nomu to be a Pro Hero again." Izuku froze at the voice, his memories flooding into his mind as if the walls he had built finally came crumbling down.

Though his horror and shock were soon replaced with determination and anger. His memories reminding him of what that man had done to him and his father. "My father is not a Nomu, nor will he ever be." Izuku stated coldly, forcing himself to keep his tone even, despite his hands trembling as fear slowly made its way to the front of his mind.

"I suppose not anymore, though you are still the same fearful and pathetic child. Are you not Izuku?" The man taunted cruelly, though Izuku reminded himself of what he had learned from this man, from when he had to learn how to endure. He could do it once again.

"You are still as stubborn as well I see; you could never learn. It took us so long to just teach you to shut up." The man stated coldly, while Izuku readied his stance, preparing to charge whenever he knew he could bring the man down.

"So much history, and yet I still have never once learned your name." Izuku stated coldly, knowing that this could be his only chance to get some information on his abuser.

"That's right, you don't. Well then young one I suppose you deserve to know; I am Hidoi Shinigami. And you my dear, are going to die." The man stated as spear like tendrils shot out from the man's back and charged trait for Izuku.

The Omega barely had the time to move out of the way, only for one of the tendril's to pierce him in the leg, immediately causing the limb to go numb and useless. "What the-." Izuku mumbled to himself, though having to cut himself off as he once again dodged another attack.

"Oh, did I not mention dear? My quirk is numbing tendril. One hit and whatever I hit is left completely useless. Do you not remember? I had to use them on you quite often to make you stay still. Though I can imagine you most likely thought it was just another shot of some kind." The man stated as Izuku paled, memories of sharp piercing pains going through him before he would go completely numb. And the man was correct he had assumed it was just another shot.

Izuku merely stayed quiet, not allowing the man in front of him to know how horrified he truly was. Quickly he brought himself to stand as he sent out a few feathers to dry and pin the older male, only for each one to get hit by the tendrils, causing them to fall uselessly to the ground.

"I expected better dear. Oh well, so as long I can rid this world of nuisances like your father and you it will all be worth it, though this could have been so much easier if you would have just come with us when you were young. Though your mother was quite stubborn, such a shame of how she died don't you think?"

Izuku paled at the mans words, his anger only growing at the mention of his mother. "Don't you dare speak of her!! You knew nothing of her!! And my mother died with honor! You know nothing!!" Izuku shouted as he once again drew his swords while his wings spread, shooting him straight for the man in front of him.

"Oh, do I not? I was there dear. I saw how she gave her life to save a worthless child such as yourself. And instead of saving her, you ran away and allowed your father to lose his mate." The man stated as he dodged every attack Izuku threw, while Izuku skillfully dodged the tendrils, though his attacks soon becoming sloppy as the man continued to taunt him cruelly.

"SHUT UP!!!" Izuku screamed as then started aiming for the mans tendrils, cutting off a few in the process, making the man hiss quietly in pain.

"And then you allowed your father to befall the same fate, you were just lucky that All for One found use of him and saved him." The man continued to taunt as Izuku screamed out in rage, pain, and sadness of the memories that plagued his mind.

"Then you fought muscle did you not? Did that make you feel better dear? Did it make up for the death of your mother? Did it make up for you killing her?"

"STOP IT!!!!"

Izuku's tears soon began to blur his vison, allowing the man the opportunity to stab Izuku's wings, causing them and all of his feathers to go limp as Izuku fell to the ground, only for the younger to once again pull himself up, pulling out his daggers as he threw them skillfully, stabbing and gashing the man a few times, not that the villain noticed nor cared.

"It's true is it not? That's why you're here now is it not? You just want to clear your conscience, you do not care for them, you never have. That's why you became a Pro Hero correct. To just clear your conscience, so you would never have to live with the fact that you are a murderer. So, you wouldn't have to live with the fact that all of this is your fault. All of those injuries your friends have, all of those death's during the war, all of the people you could have saved, everything is your fault."

The man continued to taunt mercilessly, only for Izuku to go still at the mans words, his fear, guilt, and pain overtaking him, the man quickly took the opportunity to them stab Izuku in the chest, causing the younger to scream out in pain, not only from the new wound, but from the memories.

Izuku fell to his knees as everything except his arms went limp, and just as the Omega went to reach for his daggers, a hard steal boot kicked him harshly in the chest, causing the younger to fly into the cement wall. Knocking the air out of him as blood began to blur his vison, along with his tears.

"Oh~ Poor dear, you're the same weak child. The same child that cried out for his father that he killed. The same child that allowed his mother and so many others to die. How pitiful." The man taunted as Izuku could only shout out in pain as he tried and failed to move his body.

"Such a pathetic thing, don't you think? I could fix it so quickly dear; I could make all of this go away. Don't you want to see your mother once again?" The man asked as one of the tendrils then wrapped around Izuku's neck, raising the younger into the air as Izuku choked and scratched against the tendril.

The man's laugh soon filled Izuku's ears as the world around him only grew darker, and Izuku couldn't help but curse himself mentally at the fact that he had allowed this villain to get into his head, and that he would now die at the hands of him, and only cause his friends and family more pain.

Though when Izuku was dropped to the ground he quickly gasped and choked for air, only to freeze at the loud and soul shaking roar that echoed around him.

Izuku quickly looked to his side, only to see Kirishima practically ripping the man apart, his teeth bared as hardened fist broke and tore into the villain.

Izuku froze in fear, his arms shaking horribly due to fear and pain. Though Izuku quickly tried to stand once more as Kirishima grabbed the now mutilated villain by his neck, holding him in the air as the villain fought for air desperately.

"RED RIOT STOP!!" Izuku screamed, though Kirishima paid no mind to the plea as his main focus was on ending the life of the villain who's neck was being crushed by the Pro's hands.

"KIRISHIMA!!!" Once again, no response as the Alpha's growl only became deeper, practically shaking Izuku's very core.

"EIJIROU!!!!" Finally, the red head turned to Izuku, the youngers face stained by blood and tears. Immediately Kirishima dropped the villain as the man fell to the floor while he gasped and choked for air, before finally passing out.

Kirishima quickly ran to Izuku as the Alpha gently grabbed Izuku and brought the younger into his arms, cradling him gently as a worried whine escaped the red head, Izuku merely whimpered as he clung to the Alpha desperately, only to pass out as Kirishima shouted out in surprise.

Within only a few seconds Hawks, Todoroki, and Mina came barreling into the large room, most of the walls now stained red by blood, though most of it being the villains. Kirishima ignored all of them as he ran at superhuman speeds to the ambulances that waited outside of the large building, most of the medics already tending to a few other Pros who were injured.

Immediately Kirishima brought Izuku forward to one of the medics, as the woman quickly tried to take the unconscious man from Kirishima, only for the Alpha to growl in warning to her.

"Oi! Shitty hair, they need to help him. Trust me I didn't like it when I had to hand over Pikachu to them. But you need to. They won't hurt him." Bakugou quickly chimed in as Kirishima looked to him skeptically for a moment before handing Izuku over to the woman gently.

Though Bakugou didn't fail to notice the vast amount of blood on Kirishima's hands, the blonde merely looked to his friend, waiting for Kirishima to come back to reality before asking questions.

Only for his attention to immediately be drawn away by Hawks dragging out an unconscious and bloody villain, only to practically throw him into the police van, caring little to none if the man himself was even alive.

Bakugou looked over to Kirishima questioningly as the red head finally met his eyes.

"Let me guess you did that one eh?" Bakugou questioned as Kirishima watched a few police and medics pull the bloody body out of the van to access the villain.

"He tried to kill Izuku." Kirishima stated, not a hint of regret or remorse in his voice.

"Don't blame ya, he looks like he was a scumbag. Besides anyone who could do such things to kids so mercilessly deserves to die. Besides I'm sure no one will question you, if you tell them you had to do it to save a fellow Pro." Bakugou stated as Kirishima only grumbled in response.

"So, I'm guessing that's not Deku's blood?" Bakugou asked as he pointed to Kirishima's hands, only for Kirishima to look down at his bloody hands as a toothy grin spread across his face.

"Definitely not."

"Hey welcome to the club, told you it wasn't as bad as it sounded, especially when it comes to your mate."

"Just because I did it this once doesn't mean I want to do it again bro."

"Yeah, yeah whatever shitty hair."
