3rd POV
Flashback
"Save me All Might Junior!"
"I am here!" A woman turns around with a beaming smile and grabs her son tight. Making him giggle in the process.
"Mama! I'm going to be a great hero! Just like All Might!" The boy yells and smiles a big hopefull smile at his mother. She looks at his and pats his head.
"You're going to have to work super hard and be super brave. Can you do it?" She asks.
"Of course! I'm going to make you proud, mama!"
"I know you will Izu. Be strong."
Izuku POV
I wake up from a dream, well more of a memory. "Izu. That's what she used to call me." I sit there in the dark thinking about the nickname. The forgotten memory brings a smile to me face as I remember the warmth that I felt back then.
The door to my cell opens, tearing me from the happy memory and back into the twisted reality.
"Get up now. Akari is here."
I stand up, shaky from last nights "client". Shigaraki plans those visits twice a week now, and it breaks me down more each time. Not only that, but he along with the other villains have been honing my fighting and my quirks to make me a perfect weapon.
As of now, I've had another quirk forced on me. It is called Elemental control. I can basically control air, earth, fire, and water. It's a bit overpowered, but I guess that is technically their goal. Along with the quirk, I've mastered multiple forms of martial arts and close combat fighting, as well as shooting, sword fighting, bow staffs, and a few other types of weapons. Thanks to my analysis quirk, learning all of these skills wasn't ask difficult as it could have been.
But now today, that god forsaken doctor is here again to drug me and force another quirk onto me. I nearly died receiving Elemental control, so the doctor was forced to be more cautious with future experiments and tests involving their precious "Experiment Seven".
We walk into the lab room and I got to the table and lay down. They don't even bother with the retrains any more, because now, they have the collar. Shigaraki has become pretty trigger happy when it comes to that fucking remote. The slightest resistance is met with a 50 volt shock.
As I lay there I don't even realize I have activated my quirk. I'm lost in thought, still thinking about the happy memory.
Around me, water droplets and stray pebbles slowly float in the air. As soon as he looked up, Crusty pushes the button, but this time, he lets it go. I'm not allowed to use my quirks freely unless it's to heal up.
The electricity courses through my body, making me shake uncontrollably. After about 40 seconds of the continuous frying, he shuts it off. I gasp as I struggle for air. The lingering pain on my throat makes my eyes water. You'd think that you could get used to the pain, but you don't. Every time, it hurts.
As I get control of my breathing, Crusty asks me a question. "What the hell made you think that was a good idea?"
"I didn't m-mean t-t-to." I choke out. My voice hoarse from the electricity and the screaming.
There is a brief silence. "Well now, lets continue. Number seven, I trust you've learned your lesson?" I nod. "Ok then."
He lifts a thick syringe full of a glowing green liquid and haphazardly stabs it into my forearm. I wince at the initial pain and then feel the real pain begin to build. It's as if I'm being electrocuted again and again without it stopping. The pain keeps going as I see green sparks and electricity fly away from my body. This suffering goes on for a few minutes and when it is finally over. The darkness consumes me.

Aizawa POV
"Our source has sent a location. We move today. We know there is a hostage somewhere in the structure and we know that they are hurt. Proceed with caution." I looked around the room. "We leave in 10."
Ten minutes pass and we are on the move. We had been contacted recently by an unknown source giving us detailed information about the League of Villains and their plans. The person has informed us of a sickening situation involving a young child.
"All Might, Mic, Fat Gum. You guys come with me. Jeanist, I need you to make sure no one gets out."
"Right" Everyone says at once. We are outside of a run down bar when we hear faint screaming. Just as that happens, the lights of the building flicker with the screams.
"This can't be good." I mumble. I pull down my goggles and we make our move.

Izuku POV
I slowly come back to my senses as my eyes open. I look around and find myself in my cell, chained to the wall. I chuckle to myself. "Wow, Crusty must be pissed."
I cough and notice blood fall onto my shirt. "Ahh, that can't be good." I mumble.
I lift my head up and see Crusty with that dumb remote. He looks at me and without hesitation, pushes the button. I scream in pain. The lights start flickering with my screams. That's new. Must be the quirk. I think to myself. Just as the thought ends, so does the current.
My body relaxes and my head falls forward.
"Boss! Boss we have a problem!" One of the league goons busts into the cell yelling about some issue that they are having upstairs. I can't hear it all, I'm more focused on being able to breathe at the moment.
I hear Shigaraki curse and slam the door shut. I hear the extra locks click shut. They added more locks after one of my quirks got out of control and blew the door down. I chuckle at the memory. "Man I got my ass beat for that one." I choke out and begin to have a coughing fit. More blood falls from my mouth as I cough.
I hear the locks to my door being messed with and glance up to see the commotion. There is a lot of noise going on.
--------
Aizawa POV
We break in and begin securing the criminals, as we quickly make our way through, we find ourselves in a long hall way with large metal doors one each side. The doors all had numbers painted onto them. All Might and I are the only ones in the hall, as the others stayed back to deal with the villains.
As we are walking down the path looking for anything suspicious, I hear... coughing?
I turn to look at All Might who has the same expression as me. Our eyes widen and we follow the noise. It's coming from a door marked "007". There are extra locks on the door. I begin to struggle with the locks and soon, All Might gets impatient and smashes them open. The door falls off the hinges and slams to the ground.
When our eyes adjust to the dark room, we are hit with the strong stench of blood. All Might instinctively covers his nose. I scan the room and my heart drops when I see what was behind that door.
A small boy, no older that 15 chained to a wall. He was in a large grey shirt that is covered in blood and a dried white substance. The boy himself is extremely skinny, making me question if he can even walk. As I scan the boy I see that his head is lifted and he is watching us. A large scar cuts across his right eye and there is a collar around the boys throat.
The boy takes a breath in and tries to speak, only to bet hit with more coughing. Blood. He is coughing up blood.
I kneel down, approaching the kid slowly. I don't know what he has been through, so I don't know how he will react.
He sees me get close and flinches away, fighting against the cuffs on his wrists. "Hey, hey kid, it's ok. I'm not going to hurt you. We are heroes, we are here to help you." I pause, waiting to see how he responds.
He shifts and his eyes meet mine. "H-h-heroes?" He says in a raspy voice.
I nod. The boys eyes start to tear up as he seems to realize that we mean it. I motion over All Might, who gently rips the chains from the walls, because we can find the keys, this will have to do for now. As the last chain is pulled from the wall, the boy falls forward. I rush forward and catch him before he falls. As I hold him he lets out a small laugh. Crazy kid. You must have gone through hell and you can still laugh.
"Th-thank you." That was the last thing the boy said before passing out in my arms.
