"I've seen it..I saw the future. You and I die. And Chisaki gets away.."

[a-future-come-true]

You thought death would stop me?

No.

I'll be a hero. I will save people.

『••✎••』

Or, nighteye's prediction comes true. Except death doesn't stop Izuku.

I wanna turn this idea into a fan fiction so if you ever see it as one..lol

"A versi0n? Are y0u saying y0u're me?"

[izuku-bakugou]

I am! But...From another universe

[a-future-come-true]

"..what..universe..are y0u fr0m..?"

[izuku-bakugou]

Hmm...I dont know the name of it, sorry

[a-future-come-true]

It's eyebrows furrowed, as if that answer didn't make it happy.

"0kay.."

[izuku-bakugou]

I might not know the name, but I can tell you what it's like if that will help?

[a-future-come-true]

"...fine. Tell me."

[izuku-bakugou]

In my universe, we have second genders. Alpha, Omega, and Beta...So technically you could call my universe the Alpha or Omega Universe if that makes sense

[a-future-come-true]

It paused, looking at the fellow Deku with confusion. As if he had just spoken complete gibberish.

"...what??"

[izuku-bakugou]

What?

[a-future-come-true]

"N0ne 0f what y0u've sp0ken makes..any sense."

[izuku-bakugou]

You have questions, I'm assuming

[a-future-come-true]

"N0ne 0f the w0rds y0u have sp0ken make any sense. I d0n't kn0w what th0se are."

[izuku-bakugou]

Oh, right. Um...My husband is better at explaining these things.

Basically an Alpha is someone who is stronger than the others. Someone who is the leader and takes control. Kacchan is an Alpha.

A Beta is someone who is basically just a regular person. They aren't a leader like an Alpha but they aren't a follower like an Omega.

An Omega is someone who is...Basically the mother. They do everything and take care of everyone. Most people listen to an Omega if the Alpha isn't around.

I am an Omega. Does that make sense?

"A versi0n? Are y0u saying y0u're me?"

[glass-toys]

"Y0ur time will c0me, Tenya."

That voice... It had been days and yet that voice still haunts him. The voice of a friend he couldn't save, or a death he couldn't savor.

"I don't want anything to do with you." He spoke aloud, to a supposedly empty room. But the chill in the air suggested the onryō was nearby. "I have my own score to settle, as I'm sure you have your own."

He hated that this was something he couldn't fight, remembering how his kick did nothing. He still had some ways with words, but threats were best met with violence in his experience.

"You don't have to be here."

[a-future-come-true]

The greenie grinned. Once again having his unnatural grin.

"I d0n't have t0 be here..but it's fun! Reminding y0u 0f all y0ur mistakes."

The greenie started to walk in a circle around him, his body still terribly bloody and cracked, as if he was about to explode. As if he was in that exact moment Overhaul got him and exploded him.

"I'm quite sh0cked y0u d0n't seem to regret anything y0u've d0ne."

[glass-toys]

Iida stood his ground, though his feet staying place could be mistaken for being frozen by fear (which wasn't that far from the truth).

"I made all my choices of sound mind. I do right by the important things. You are in no place to question me."

[a-future-come-true]

"I used t0 be y0ur friend!"

Izuku reminded him, glancing at him.

"I still remember riiightt bef0re the raid..bef0re my death..when y0u and T0d0r0ki tried t0 talk t0 me..even repeating little w0rds I have said t0 y0u bef0re..s0metimes I miss being alive.."

Izuku giggled. Some uncanny valley type shit. He kept walking circles around the villain tauntingly.

"I think I'll keep questi0ning y0u. And what'll y0u d0 ab0ut it? N0thing. Cause y0u can't d0 shit!"

[glass-toys]

"The key words in that statement are 'used to be.' You are clearly stuck in the past while I have moved on. Neither of us are who the other once knew."

He slipped into anger like putting on a mask, one he knew just as well as the one he used for Savitar's suit.

"You will not frighten me! Do you hear?! I shall be rid of you like anything else I despise!"

[a-future-come-true]

"Y0u sure I d0n't frighten y0u, Tenya? Y0u're n0t exactly giving brave vibes right n0w. In fact, y0ur b0dy screams terrified."

Izuku's voice was eerily calm. Not angry. Not taunting. Just..calm. Like he was having a conversation with an old friend. Which. He kind of was. In a way..a twisted way.

"It's s0 funny t0 me, t0 witness y0ur pathetic attempts at being brave. It's s0..laughable!"

And with that, the ghost doubled over in laughter. So much laughter that, if he were still alive, he'd probably laugh himself to death. But he isn't alive so he can't laugh himself to death.

[glass-toys]

"Believe me when I say that once I figure out whatever matter of creature you have become, I will do what is necessary to banish out of my life again!"

The tremble in his hands was from passion, nothing more. The wetness in his eyes was from anger, nothing more. He was only upset at this being, nothing more. If he though it enough times perhaps it would be true, like every other spiral he had tumbled down over the years.

[a-future-come-true]

"Uh huh. Well, I wish y0u luck 0n that endeav0r, Tenya!! Th0ugh, n0 matter h0w hard y0u try, I'll still be here. Just watching."

Izuku was about 99.9% sure there wasn't a way to get rid of him. So he could probably keep tormenting his victim. Izuku couldn't help but notice the tremble.

"00000h! S0me0nes shaking! Awe, did I hit a sensitive sp0t, Tenya?"

[glass-toys]

"Stop calling me that! You are not my friend! You are not worthy of using that name!!" He shook his fist in the general direction of where he sensed the onryō, but he couldn't be sure. The hostile energy felt as if it was attacking on all sides, with no logic at all to it.

[a-future-come-true]

"But but buuuuttt..we used t0 be friends, didn't we? Tenya."

He's not stopping. He's not going to stop tormenting this poor villain. Well..okay. Not poor. Just a villain.

"I kn0w y0u pushed y0ur her0 career away but n0w even y0ur friends, t00? Even th0ugh they just wanna st0p by and say hi?"

[glass-toys]

"This isn't 'just saying hi' and you very well know that." He kept turning in place, kept looking for the source. "You intend to harm me. And I intend to stop you."

[a-future-come-true]

"Well I mean if y0u wanna, we can talk 0ver a cup 0f tea. 0r was that M0m0 that l0ved tea?"

His mind is slipping if he can't even remember the tea lover. He just knew it was one of those rich fucks. Tea = rich. Sound logic, imho.

[glass-toys]

"I do not wish to speak with you, I've made that quite clear."

[a-future-come-true]

"But that's s0 sad!! What if I wanna talk ab0ut all the funn times..like saving y0ur ass 0ne t00 many times. D0n't y0u wanna talk ab0ut that? Stain, USJ, training camp, 0verhaul...

.

.

.

All the g00d stuff!!"

[glass-toys]

"I do not need to be reminded of those events, Midoriya, please." He didn't want to think about how he was too slow or weak in the past. He's grown. He's better now. He will not make those same mistakes again.

[a-future-come-true]

"0h? Was that the w0rd 'please' I heard? 0r are my ears playing tricks 0n me?"

The ghost made himself known, standing right behind Iida now. What a strange thing. To be able to appear and disappear..

"Did I strike a nerve, Tenya? Y0u remembering s0mething y0u d0n't wanna remember?"

He phased right through him as he walked forward.

"Let's talk ab0ut the USJ! Y0u left every0ne there, fending f0r their lives whilst y0u ran 0ff. 0r the training camp. Y0u were t00 sl0w and as a result, s0 many 0f y0ur classmates- y0ur friends- g0t hurt. 0r even during w0rk studies!! Y0u c0uldn't even save a friend fr0m dying."

[glass-toys]

"Would you shut up!" Iida spun around to face Midoriya, fear anger covering his expression. "I'm not- You don't... I know!! You don't have to remind me"

[a-future-come-true]

Without wasting a beat, Izuku got up in Iida's face.

"@r3 y0u sur3 y0u r3m3mb3r, T3ny@? @r3 y0u sur3 y0u d0n't n33d m0r3 r3m1ne3r$ 0f y0ur f@1lur3$?! C@u$3 1 th1nk y0u d0! 1 th1nk y0u'r3 try1ng t0 f0rg3t!! 1 th1nk y0u'r3 try1ng t0 pu$h 1t @ll @w@y, t0 @ct l1k3 1t n3v3r h@pp3n3d!!"

Izuku gestured around the room- wherever that may be- not taking his eyes off Iida.

"Y0u f@1l y0ur fr13nd$ @nd s0 wh@t?! $udd3nly y0u d3c1d3 t0 g0 v1ll@1n0us?!"

[glass-toys]

"I became a villain because I succeeded! I took down Stain. I killed him and ended his terror. It was gruesome and effective and right. My actions are my own, all my regrets and mistakes and choices."

He finds a certain resolve, in thinking about that night. Something that has always pushed him forward. "I do not regret killing him. I only regret not being fast enough to end the fight sooner."

[a-future-come-true]

"W3ll @t l3@$t y0u d0n't h@v3 r3gr3t$ @b0ut th@t n1ght! My 0n3 r3gr3t w@s s@v1ng y0u!!"

And once more, the ghost laughs his ass off. Like that was he funniest joke ever told.

[glass-toys]

"Y0ur time will c0me, Tenya."

That voice... It had been days and yet that voice still haunts him. The voice of a friend he couldn't save, or a death he couldn't savor.

Izuku was about 99.9% sure there wasn't a way to get rid of him. So he could probably keep tormenting his victim. Izuku couldn't help but notice the tremble.

"00000h! S0me0nes shaking! Awe, did I hit a sensitive sp0t, Tenya?"

[glass-toys]

"Stop calling me that! You are not my friend! You are not worthy of using that name!!" He shook his fist in the general direction of where he sensed the onryō, but he couldn't be sure. The hostile energy felt as if it was attacking on all sides, with no logic at all to it.

[a-future-come-true]

"But but buuuuttt..we used t0 be friends, didn't we? Tenya."

He's not stopping. He's not going to stop tormenting this poor villain. Well..okay. Not poor. Just a villain.

"I kn0w y0u pushed y0ur her0 career away but n0w even y0ur friends, t00? Even th0ugh they just wanna st0p by and say hi?"

[glass-toys]

"This isn't 'just saying hi' and you very well know that." He kept turning in place, kept looking for the source. "You intend to harm me. And I intend to stop you."

[a-future-come-true]

"Well I mean if y0u wanna, we can talk 0ver a cup 0f tea. 0r was that M0m0 that l0ved tea?"

His mind is slipping if he can't even remember the tea lover. He just knew it was one of those rich fucks. Tea = rich. Sound logic, imho.

[glass-toys]

"I do not wish to speak with you, I've made that quite clear."

[a-future-come-true]

"But that's s0 sad!! What if I wanna talk ab0ut all the funn times..like saving y0ur ass 0ne t00 many times. D0n't y0u wanna talk ab0ut that? Stain, USJ, training camp, 0verhaul...

.

.

.

All the g00d stuff!!"

[glass-toys]

"I do not need to be reminded of those events, Midoriya, please." He didn't want to think about how he was too slow or weak in the past. He's grown. He's better now. He will not make those same mistakes again.

[a-future-come-true]

"0h? Was that the w0rd 'please' I heard? 0r are my ears playing tricks 0n me?"

The ghost made himself known, standing right behind Iida now. What a strange thing. To be able to appear and disappear..

"Did I strike a nerve, Tenya? Y0u remembering s0mething y0u d0n't wanna remember?"

He phased right through him as he walked forward.

"Let's talk ab0ut the USJ! Y0u left every0ne there, fending f0r their lives whilst y0u ran 0ff. 0r the training camp. Y0u were t00 sl0w and as a result, s0 many 0f y0ur classmates- y0ur friends- g0t hurt. 0r even during w0rk studies!! Y0u c0uldn't even save a friend fr0m dying."

[glass-toys]

"Would you shut up!" Iida spun around to face Midoriya, fear anger covering his expression. "I'm not- You don't... I know!! You don't have to remind me"

[a-future-come-true]

Without wasting a beat, Izuku got up in Iida's face.

"@r3 y0u sur3 y0u r3m3mb3r, T3ny@? @r3 y0u sur3 y0u d0n't n33d m0r3 r3m1ne3r$ 0f y0ur f@1lur3$?! C@u$3 1 th1nk y0u d0! 1 th1nk y0u'r3 try1ng t0 f0rg3t!! 1 th1nk y0u'r3 try1ng t0 pu$h 1t @ll @w@y, t0 @ct l1k3 1t n3v3r h@pp3n3d!!"

Izuku gestured around the room- wherever that may be- not taking his eyes off Iida.

"Y0u f@1l y0ur fr13nd$ @nd s0 wh@t?! $udd3nly y0u d3c1d3 t0 g0 v1ll@1n0us?!"

[glass-toys]

"Y0ur time will c0me, Tenya."

That voice... It had been days and yet that voice still haunts him. The voice of a friend he couldn't save, or a death he couldn't savor.

"I don't want anything to do with you." He spoke aloud, to a supposedly empty room. But the chill in the air suggested the onryō was nearby. "I have my own score to settle, as I'm sure you have your own."

He hated that this was something he couldn't fight, remembering how his kick did nothing. He still had some ways with words, but threats were best met with violence in his experience.

"You don't have to be here."

[a-future-come-true]

The greenie grinned. Once again having his unnatural grin.

"I d0n't have t0 be here..but it's fun! Reminding y0u 0f all y0ur mistakes."

The greenie started to walk in a circle around him, his body still terribly bloody and cracked, as if he was about to explode. As if he was in that exact moment Overhaul got him and exploded him.

"I'm quite sh0cked y0u d0n't seem to regret anything y0u've d0ne."

[glass-toys]

Iida stood his ground, though his feet staying place could be mistaken for being frozen by fear (which wasn't that far from the truth).

"I made all my choices of sound mind. I do right by the important things. You are in no place to question me."

[a-future-come-true]

"I used t0 be y0ur friend!"

Izuku reminded him, glancing at him.

"I still remember riiightt bef0re the raid..bef0re my death..when y0u and T0d0r0ki tried t0 talk t0 me..even repeating little w0rds I have said t0 y0u bef0re..s0metimes I miss being alive.."

Izuku giggled. Some uncanny valley type shit. He kept walking circles around the villain tauntingly.

"I think I'll keep questi0ning y0u. And what'll y0u d0 ab0ut it? N0thing. Cause y0u can't d0 shit!"

[glass-toys]

"The key words in that statement are 'used to be.' You are clearly stuck in the past while I have moved on. Neither of us are who the other once knew."

He slipped into anger like putting on a mask, one he knew just as well as the one he used for Savitar's suit.

"You will not frighten me! Do you hear?! I shall be rid of you like anything else I despise!"

[a-future-come-true]

"Y0u sure I d0n't frighten y0u, Tenya? Y0u're n0t exactly giving brave vibes right n0w. In fact, y0ur b0dy screams terrified."

Izuku's voice was eerily calm. Not angry. Not taunting. Just..calm. Like he was having a conversation with an old friend. Which. He kind of was. In a way..a twisted way.

"It's s0 funny t0 me, t0 witness y0ur pathetic attempts at being brave. It's s0..laughable!"

And with that, the ghost doubled over in laughter. So much laughter that, if he were still alive, he'd probably laugh himself to death. But he isn't alive so he can't laugh himself to death.

[glass-toys]

"Believe me when I say that once I figure out whatever matter of creature you have become, I will do what is necessary to banish out of my life again!"

The tremble in his hands was from passion, nothing more. The wetness in his eyes was from anger, nothing more. He was only upset at this being, nothing more. If he though it enough times perhaps it would be true, like every other spiral he had tumbled down over the years.

[a-future-come-true]

"Uh huh. Well, I wish y0u luck 0n that endeav0r, Tenya!! Th0ugh, n0 matter h0w hard y0u try, I'll still be here. Just watching."
