Middle school, the day the UA selections were finalized… Bakugo had just finished his routine of torment for Izuku, when he was taken hostage by a green sludge villain. Izuku’s body moved on his own, despite his protests. He didn’t want to save Bakugo, he didn’t even want to be near him.

Unfortunately, he survived…

Izuku walked the cold, dark streets of Japan. He’d heard of some villain groups lately, and wanted to join. If he couldn’t be a hero, nobody could.

He had all the heroes weaknesses written down, along with their strengths and combat styles.

He knew everything, surely some villains would take him in. He had valuable information.
