A/N: The dark truth about Teddy...

Kenji couldn't believe this

Teddy wasn't human.

Yes, he gets the voodoo quirk and all. But he wasn't human. He was a puppet all this time

Tsuyoi-Senpai reaction was the same as his.

Shock and disbelief clouded his features as Teddy laughed at them.

Teddy: What's wrong, Kenji? You look like you've seen a ghost!

Kenji: So... you're not a real person.

Teddy: That's a blunt way to put it but yes. I'm actually an humungclus...or whatever it is, big bro told me.

Kenji: So what you're not the real Teddy Ogun?

Teddy: Nope. The real Teddy died years ago. Thanks to you selfish heroes! I am nothing more but a clone! A fragment of his memories left behind!

Teddy enlightened them to listen to his tale on how he came into existence.

~Flashback~

Remy & Teddy were the best of brothers.

They lived together. They hugged, fight, & cried together.

They stand by each other side by side.

But all it took was one bad day to change everything.

~Flashback~

Remy: Teddy!!!

Teddy, was on the ground, his body had went limp, and his eyes were hollow.

Remy doesn't understand how this could've happened. One minute, his brother looked fine and the next...

He found him like this.

Remy couldn't bare to imagine how bad his life has gotten.

One moment, he lost his father. Then his mother. And now...he was going to lose his brother.

Remy: Teddy! Please wake up! Wake up!

His brother wasn't moving! He was still breathing but it didn't make the older brother feel any better.

Remy: Teddy! No! No! No! Who did this to you?! I need to get help!

Surely, someone can help him!

That's right! A hero! He needs a hero! Surely a hero wouldn't ignore the pleas of a crying child!

....Right?

~Later~

Remy: Help! HELP! PLEASE!

"Leave me alone, kid"

"I'm busy"

"Get lost, already!"

"You look like a villain! Scram or I'll call the police!"

Remy cried and pleaded for someone to help him and Teddy. Help him take his brother to the hospital! Save his life! Something!

None of the civilians wanted to help him.

He even asked a hero that was close by.

Remy: Hey! Mister Hero! I need your help!

Hero: What do you want, kid?

Remy: Help...Please! My brother needs assistance! He might be sick! Please help!

Hero: Tch. What do you want me to do about it! Go get him to a hospital!

Remy: But...But...I don't have enough money.

Their little shop wasn't enough to pay back their medical expenses. Especially since nobody hardly comes by...

Hero: That sounds like a you problem. He probably just has a cold. Now beat it. You're wasting my time.

Remy: But Mister! Please!!! My Brother!

Hero: GET LOST KID! I'M BUSY! OR I'M GONNA HAVE YOU ARRESTED!

Remy looked up at him in horror before backing away. He heard the hero muttered "stupid kid" before going back on his phone.

He can't believe this...

Why...?

Why was no one listening?

Why was no one helping him?

He tried his best to get someone else to help him.

But all he got was judgemental looks. Both civilians and a few heroes on patrols gave him glares.

Remy felt fresh tears feeling as everyone else just continued going on about their day not giving him so much of a glance.

Remy: (Why...why doesn't no one want to help me? My brother is dying! Please! Help him! Help me!)

No one bothered to listen to his pleads.

BECAUSE NOBODY CARED!

...

Teddy: Big Brother...I don't feel so good...

Remy: Teddy....No...I can't lose you...I can't...I can't...

Teddy: Big Brother...Am I dying?

Those words struck a hole through Remy's heart...

Remy: No. No! Teddy! You're not dying! Not yet! Big brother's got you! He's gonna take care of you and make sure you have everything you need!

Teddy: Uggh....

Remy: Teddy...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry! I promised I would protect you! But I can't do anything!

He couldn't do anything! He tried to get in contact with a hospital nearby! But sadly, they had a discrimination aganist villain kids. So they coldly responded to him to call another hospital.

Remy: No...No...Please...help me! Someone help me! I need a hero! Help my brother! I can't lose him! I CAN'T!HE'S ALL I GOT!!!

Teddy: Big Bro...

Remy: Teddy...stay with me...

Teddy: I want...to say something...

Remy: Yes. Anything!

Teddy: Thank you for always being there...thank you for trying...thank you...for loving me....

Teddy let's out an exhausted sigh before closing his eyes...

As he took his last breath...

Remy:......Teddy?

.....

Remy: Teddy!!!

....

Remy: TEDDY!!!!

....

It was a horrible day. It was raining.

Remy looked down at the grave where he buried his brother's body.

His red eyes stared down with black circles underneath them.

He looked...so dead...so emotionless...

Remy: Hahaha...Hahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHA!

He laughed...and laughed...and laughed...

Even his laughter sounded so broken...

He tried so hard to save his brother. But it wasn't enough.

Because he was a villain kid. The world turned it's back on him. His father died in prison. His mother died during a villain attack and his brother...

His precious brother...died because he couldn't receive proper medical treatment & passed away from natural causes....or at least that's what seems to be the case. 

He was alone.

All alone.

Remy: Teddy...Please... don't leave me... come back...come back....

He felt the world so cold...

Remy: Those heroes...I'll never forgive them...I'LL NEVER EVER FORGIVE THEM!!!

"So sad..."

Remy: Huh?

Remy looked around the area but couldn't see nobody.

Remy: Whose there? Show yourself!

A shadowy figure with green eyes appeared and cat-like grin formed.

Shadow: You must be Remy...

Remy: What's it to you?

Shadow: I would to make a deal with you. If you do what I say. In return, I can give you your brother back.

Remy:....

Remy couldn't believe it. A way to bring Teddy back. You can't bring back the dead. He's already tried that with his quirk. There's no way! That's impossible!

Remy: You're bluffing.

Shadow: Oh but I'm not~! Think about it. Your brother gets a second chance at life. After all, for all the sacrifices you've done to take care of him. Only for his life to be cut short by the mean, cruel, selfish and greedy actions of people and heroes...

Remy:.....

Shadow: Because they didn't care. The term hero is just a title. All I can see is fakes and hypocrites playing hero. Don't you want revenge? After all, they're the ones who killed your father, mother, & brother. If you do this, your brother's life will be saved. Doesn't that sound like a fair deal?

Take revenge on those who didn't save his brother...

As much he's aware that violence breeds more violence...

But at this moment, he didn't care anymore...

He wanted Teddy back...

Remy:....Alright. I'll do it.

The shadow made an evil grin.

Shadow: Excellent.

Remy: Who are you... really?

Shadow: I go by many names...but you can call me Niko.

Remy:...So how do we do this, Niko?

Niko: That's where your quirk comes in.

Remy: My quirk?

Niko: I've been watching you for a while. Your quirk is the power the voodoo. You can create an clone or a puppet that looks like your brother...

Remy:...True. But it wouldn't be the same...

Niko: And that's where I come in...I can restore his memories before he died. Teddy will be back in your arms & among the living. You can make him more powerful. Something that that is unstoppable. All you gotta do is obey my every order....So what do you say?

Remy gave him an determined look. He was left with no other options.

Remy: Just give me the command.

....

Vroooom

Remy stared at the boy before him.

No. Not the boy.

The homunculus.

The homunculus thay wore his brother's face.

A/N: Not my art. Credit goes to the original owner on Pinterest.

The thought gnaws at him, sharp and bitter. It's almost like looking back at the mirror, forcing himself to face at the puppet staring back emotionlessly.

The longer he looks at it, the more the details seem to shift and warp in his mind.

It's like staring at a ghost—someone who might have been his brother in another life, another body.

A face that isn't his brother but now it is. The one he'd begged for be spared only to be turned down, the one he wished he'd still be alive.

The devil whispered the words in his ear.

He was often lurking around. The green of his eyes were luminescent. His sharp teeth might catch a glint of moonlight, forms a smile. Cunning, sinister, devious. Evil. So full of contempt.

Satisfied with himself for something he had yet to do with Remy.

"Give me at least over 1,000 souls and your brother will be spared."

The voodoo master made a deal with the Devil.

"Big Brother?"

....

Remy: You're a puppet...

Teddy: Eh?

Remy decided to tell Teddy the truth of who he really is.

Remy: You're not really the real Teddy.  The real one died years ago... you're actually an puppet with his memories created from my voodoo powers...

Teddy:....

Mason "Teddy" Ogun was eight years old when he died. Eight years of age and it's been ten years since Remy last saw him. 

Ten Years that could've changed if fate wasn't so cruel...

If heroes back then would've just done their job like they've supposed too. Remy wouldn't be in this predictable moment.

If only someone would've helped his brother instead of leaving them on the streets. 

Teddy would've still been alive...

He steeled himself for what could happened next. What would his "brother" say or do? Will he get upset! Get mad? Scream? Shout? Cry? Punch him.

Tell him he's the worst? Be in denial?

Tell him he wish he never see him again...?

Whatever he would do. Remy was ready for Teddy to do his worst.

He kind of deserved it for lying to him for years.

Teddy: Oh okay...so what's for lunch?

Eh? That's it? That's it?!!

Remy: THAT'S IT?! SUCH AN UNREALISTIC REACTION!!

Teddy: Why so shock?

Remy: Why are you not upset at me or screaming at me?

Teddy: Well I've kind of already knew...

HE KNEW?! AND DIDN'T SAY A WORD?!!

Remy: *Stammers* Teddy...I...when did you knew?

Teddy: A few years ago...you tend to mumble in your sleep.

Remy: CRAAAAAP!!!

Fuck. He forgot they sleep in the same room. So of course he would figure out sooner or later.

Teddy: Big Bro...I knew you were hurting even if you wouldn't tell me. But it doesn't matter if I'm not the real Teddy or not. I'm still me in some way~!

Remy: But how can you say that?! I mean aren't you even a bit concerned about being a puppet created by me?!

Teddy: That maybe true. But...whatever I am. It doesn't matter. Because you still treat me like I'm a human.

Remy: Teddy...

Teddy: You fed me. Gave me clothes. A life. A roof over my head. A name. An identity. Something I can be proud of. You gave me everything, Big Bro~! So I'm gonna still remain by your side~! Because that's what brothers do! Support each other!

Fuck. What did he do to deserve this boy. 

Remy: Y-Yeah. Thank you Teddy.

Teddy: Hey BTW. Since I'm technically created by ya. Doesn't that mean you're actually my father?

Remy: What? Of course not!

Teddy: Maybe I should start calling you Dad instead of Big Bro.

Remy: Teddy! No!

Teddy: What's for lunch...? I'm hungry.

Remy: You just ate a few souls an hour ago.

Teddy: *Whines* I'm still hungry!!!

Remy: Teddy!!!

???: What's with all the yelling? I'm trying to play video games!

Shigaraki and some of the other league members appeared from in front door in their room. 

Teddy: Oh hey Crusty McHands!

Toga: Haha! Hands!

Dabi: Nice one. 

Shigaraki: Shut up! Again! What's with all the screaming?

Teddy: Guess what guys! I'm a puppet~!

LOV:....*Turns to Remy*

Remy: Why are you all looking at me like that?!

Mr. Compress: Well no offense, friend. But this does have you written all over it.

Twice: A PUPPET, THAT'S PRETTY COOL!/ WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?!

Miyumi: So Teddy is a puppet? Who would've thought...

Spinner: Should we even be the least surprised?

Dabi: Not really...Puppet on wired strings or not, he's still fucking annoying.

Juurou: It makes sense if you think about it...Wait. If he's a puppet. Why does he even have his own personality? Does he even need strings?

Remy: No. Not Really.

Teddy: Hehehe~! That's because I'm special!

Dabi: Nah. You're just an idiot...

Teddy: Fuck you, Staples! Hahahaha!

Shigaraki: This is stupid. Spinner! Get off the couch! Kurogiri says my turn to use the screen!

Spinner: I'm playing Starfield!

Shigaraki: Don't lie to me! That's just Fallout 4!

Spinner: I like what I like!

Miyumi: Where the fuck is my makeup Niko! You bettr not be using it.

Niko: I already used it. It's in the trash, Bitch. 

Miyumi: 💢 WHAAAAAAAAT?!! 💢

Juurou: MIYUMI! NO! STOP! DON'T KILL HIM!

Twice: *Saying Sussy Things*

Mr. Compress: Twice, my friend...Please stop...

Toga: I wonder what his blood taste like? Does puppet even produce blood~?

Teddy: Oh. Wanna see?

Toga: YES~!

Remy: TEDDY NO!!!

Remy and Teddy were both happy that the League Of Villains still accepted them despite knowing the full truth. 

Despite what they are. It wouldn't change anything for them both.

They made a promise together as brothers.

They will stay together and take over the world.

The whispered from the devil himself continued in his ears...

"Remember your mission, Remy."

~End Flashback~

Samuel's eyes went wide upon hearing the story.

Remy: Don't you get it now? I can't lose this battle. So you heroes must perish...that way, my brother will be safe! 

Samuel: No! There's has to be another way!

Remy's power activated by rage. Voodoo skulls and ragdolls appeared 

Remy: There isn't...because I lose...Niko will take him away! You brats have no idea what he's capable of! Teddy will be gone forever!!! I WON'T LOSE HIM AGAIN!!!!

Remy then glared at Samuel, tears falling down his face.

Remy: You want to be a hero so bad! Then please...DIE FOR MY BROTHER!!!

QOTD: This chapter was dark...what do you guys think of the Voodoo Brothers' situation?
