Please enjoy.

Bakugou woke up to the sound of indistinct voices outside his door. He could hear his mother's voice almost breaking as his father spoke calmly.

He furrowed his eyebrows. This wasn't usual of his mother to sound concerned like that. This alarmed him.

Outside the door, Mitsuki Bakugou paced back and forth while listening to the breaking news story of two students from U.A High school being attacked and sent to the hospital. She shook her head. "I can't believe this. Those two guys that Katsuki was studying with-"

Masaru Bakugou, Katsuki's father, tried to reason with her. "It isn't our fault."

"Even worse, they heard things about Izuku being involved. What if he is alive? What if they were right? Where was he all this time?"

Masaru shook his head. "No one knows that yet, Mitsuki."

Mitsuki sighed and frowned at him. "How will we tell Katsuki?"

"Tell me what?"

The door creaked open as Katsuki made his way out to his living room where his parents were.

The two turned toward Katsuki, frowning at him. No one knew what to say.

Mitsuki sniffled and walked closer to him. "Katsuki..." She hugged him and sighed.

"Hey, what are you doing, you old witch?" He hissed.

"Your two friends. The classmates that came over today...they were attacked by a villain."

His eyes widened. "Wait...what?"

Mitsuki nodded and pulled back, wiping the tears in her eyes. "Then they said they were asking for a suspect or someone who was with them. They mentioned Izuku." She put a hand over her mouth and looked down.

Katsuki furrowed his eyebrows in confusion then snapped. "Okay, what kind of sick joke is this?!"

"It's not a joke, you idiot!" Mitsuki answered with a glare. "We just heard it on the news. Your friends are in the hospital now!"

Katsuki looked down. Kirishima and Kaminari are hurt? Deku was with them? That doesn't make sense...

"Let's go to the hospital." Katsuki said and walked past his parents.

Masaru hesitated, "W-what? Now? It's a bit late. Don't you think they're occupied?"

"I don't care." He answered. "I need to see what's really going on here."

Mitsuki frowned and asked. "Do you think we might see Izuku there? Who knows where he's been all this time."

"That's why we need to go. Now."

Masaru and Mitsuki looked at each other with the same concerned look.

Katsuki was just as confused as the next person, but his stubborn attitude drove him to immediately find out what happened and what was going on. He was just gonna have to go and find out himself.

...

Ejiro Kirishima and Denki Kaminari were both in the same room, recovering from some almost fatal injuries.

After making sure that they were perfectly okay, the two's families left them to rest.

Well, at least it wasn't as bad as I thought. Kirishima thought to himself. What really bothered him was the villain who attacked them. No way that couldn't be Izuku Midoriya. Everything about him was the same, except one thing that was easy to point out; his change of attitude.

Denki groaned, snapping Kirishima out of his deep thoughts. "Kirishima, are we still in the hospital?"

"For the fifth time, yes." The red head answered with a tired voice. "How's your head?"

Kaminari pressed his hand against his bandaged head. "I still have a headache. You think Mr. Aizawa will be mad if we miss school?"

"Is that all your worried about?" Kirishima sighed, receiving a shrug. "What about the fact that our old classmate, who had gone missing for over half a year, tried to kill us?"

Kaminari frowned. "Oh yeah. I don't think the police took us seriously when we told them it was him."

"Well, you know they probably thought he was a lost cause."

"True. Damn, did he get stronger or something?" He grabbed his arm, which was tied with a bandage. "I think he also dislocated my arm."

"I know right? Whatever happened, he learned how to use his quirk without letting it obliterate his arms or fingers." Kirishima rubbed his arm.

"Do you think the pro heroes will come soon to ask us more questions?"

"Ugh, I don't even want to know what Mr. Aizawa might say."

Kaminari opened his mouth to answer when the door suddenly opened. It was, to the pair's surprise, Katsuki Bakugou.

"Bakugou? What are you doing here? It's so late." Kaminari raised an eyebrow.

Bakugou closed the door and walked up to them.  He frowned at their appearances.

Kirishima chuckled, "Hey, Bakugou. What are ya up to?" He tried to sound as normal as possible. He could tell that he was on edge.

"What the hell happened to you two?" Bakugou crossed his arms, looking at the two. He actually was relieved to see that they weren't that badly hurt.

"Oh. About that." Kirishima looked down. "You probably heard all about it already, right?"

Bakugou shook his head. "What I wanna know is what actually happened. Was Deku really there with you? Why didn't you let anyone know?"

Kaminari frowned and turned his head away. Kirishima just stayed quiet.

Bakugou raised an eyebrow. "Well? Was he there or not? Why would he be there anyways?"

"Uh, yeah...about that Bakugou," Kirishima sighed. "Midoriya was the one who attacked us."

Bakugou's red eyes widened in shock. He didn't respond, freezing up. "What's that supposed to mean?!"

"I don't know!! He just appeared and before we could even do anything he started attacking us!" He responded.

Kaminari nodded. "He tried to freaking murder me!" He took the sheets off of himself and showed his bandaged side, which had a bloody spot on it.

Bakugou blinked in disbelief. "Whoa, are you sure we're talking about the same weak, nerdy Deku?"

Kirishima shook his head. "No, Bakugou. Whatever happened to Midoriya, he's not the same at all."

"And what did he say? Did he tell you guys anything about where he went??"

Kirishima looked down. "He said something about you."

Bakugou leaned in. "What did he say?"

"Something about seeing you soon." Kaminari mentioned. "Maybe he's gonna try and come back for you next?"

"Okay, this makes no sense!!" Bakugou growled in frustration.

"Trust me, we're trying to put the pieces together too. How could he go from a determined, hard-working good guy to an evil, brutal killer?" He pulled the sheets up and held his head.

Kirishima muttered. "It doesn't make sense..." He looked up at Bakugou. "I guess you did have a right to be worried about him, Bakugou. He's alive at least." That hardly seemed optimistic or like a good thing, but he really didn't have much else to say.

Bakugou sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He seemed more nervous than anything now. What happened to him? Now we found him, but he's not the same as before? There has to be some reason behind it.

"At least we're okay, right?" Kaminari asked, sitting up with a wince.

Yeah, they're fine. I'm glad to know that. But what happened to Deku?

Bakugou sighed and looked down. He had to find out what would happen now that Izuku had been found. The pros will be looking for him, cops will be investigating like crazy, and who knows how Class 1-A would react to this news.

...

After that evening in his torture room, Izuku followed through with every order he was given.

Toga kept asking what happened, as she and Dabi knew nothing of the things Shigaraki did to him. He only responded with a small grin, not showing any hint of remorse or resentment.

The big crooked line cut into Izuku's abdomen was covered with bandages. He couldn't do much with that big of a wound. In fact, it left him basically helpless for a few days.

"Do you think he's already gotten over with?" Toga asked.

Dabi huffed, "You still see Shigaraki treating him like a dog, right?"

Izuku shook his head. "Shigaraki has no reason to be mad at me. He said I actually helped with his plan." Now that he was explained the whole plot, he knew exactly what Shigaraki meant.

The blonde teenager gasped. "Really?"

Izuku nodded. "Yeah! And he even said I'm going to help him out with the next phase."

"What's the next phase?"

"We get to have a little fun with some students from UA." He smiled. "All a distraction in the big picture, but still enjoyable on our part." He gestured at himself.

"It's about time we have something else to do. So when's the big kidnapping going on?" Dabi asked as he lifted an eyebrow.

Izuku put his chin in his palms as he rested his elbows on the bar counter. "Well, apparently, there's a camp going on this summer for the UA students. Class 1-A and 1-B. Shigaraki told me the second night of the camp, we'll be there. Ready to strike!" He chuckled and tapped his fingers on his cheek.

Toga's eyes widened in excitement. "Ah! That sounds like a blood bath of fun!~"

Dabi smirked. "I'm just happy we finally get to the fun part of our jobs. Did Shigaraki let you know anything else?"

Izuku perked up. "Actually...there is someone he mentioned we would kidnap. You guys heard of the UA Sports Festival right?"

The two nodded.

He went on, "Well, we get to kidnap the winner of that very same festival. A very close friend of mine actually." He reached in his black vest, pulling out a photograph. "None other than Katsuki Bakugou." He laid the picture out on the counter and slid it over to them.

Dabi and Toga examined the picture of the blond teenager angrily receiving his gold medal as he was tied to a wooden post and muzzled. It was comical, but also gave a lot away about how violent this guy could get.

"He looks easy to catch." Dabi commented.

"Ooh! I want some of his blood!" Toga giggled.

Izuku snatched the picture. "Actually, he's mine to deal with. He and I have some things to work out~"

Oh, just you wait, Kacchan. I've been your doormat for way too long. Now, it's my time to finally give you a taste of your own medicine.

The green haired boy bit his lip as a cruel smile made its way onto his face. He was already thinking about the many ways to get back at his old bully.
