Did a dumpy lil doodle. I recently rewatched Brynhildr in the Darkness because jesus christ the opening is such a bop. But I had a little idea of a more formal villain AU Deku than just ‘Deku but evil.’
Essentially the idea was just that Midoriya was kidnapped when he was young, shortly after he found out he was quirkless. One day Bakugou and him were playing together and then the next day there were flashing lights and sirens across the street, and his mom told him that Izuku was missing.
Immediately Katsuki felt regret. In his mind, he instantly thought that it was his fault that Izuku ran away. It was because he was mean to Izuku, right? So he ran away. That was a burden Bakugou carried on his shoulders for years to come. The pressure put on him from adults and peers about his quirk didn’t help. Over time, he thought less and less about Izuku and only really thought about him whenever he was All Might on the news.
It was when Bakugou was enrolled in UA that things started to get turned upside down. All Might’s secret was still safe. He hadn’t yet been able to decide a successor to take on One for All yet. There was a sudden spree of petty crimes at the hands of the League of Villains. They made it aware that they were planning something.
The attack on USJ was a complete surprise to the heroes. As villains started pouring out from a murky black portal to wreak havoc, all the students took action. Bakugou locked onto a hooded figure who appeared to be loitering. The boy blasted his way towards the person, yelling out taunts and curses. However, time froze as wide, familiar green eyes locked with his own.
With his attention slightly shifted in that split second, the hooded figure grabbed a hold of Katsuki’s arm, effortlessly throwing him off balance and threw him to the ground, pinning him down.
Bakugou snarled as the hooded figure towered above him, mocking him. His palms started to crackle dangerously as he reached up and grabbed the figure’s face. The other didn’t even flinch. Instead, around his hand, he felt cold tears drip onto his face.
“Please help me, Kacchan.”
It took a moment to process. In that time, classmates called out Bakugou’s name, and a few were already making their way towards him to help. He grit his teeth before screaming, “I DON’T NEED YOUR FUCKING HELP!” before using his other hand to propel himself upwards with an explosion while still using the other to grip the figure’s face. With a roar, he started forming multiple explosions with his one land behind him, effectively pushing both himself and the figure away from the group. He didn’t stop until he was in a secluded area with neither hero nor villain around. He wasted no time pinning the villain to a wall while he ripped the hood backwards to reveal a head of curly bark green hair on top of a freckled face.
“De...ku?” The blonde didn’t get long to revel in the fact that his childhood friend that went missing all those years ago was standing in front of him, *with villains.*
“Kacchan, please, I need help—“ a hand slammed around the other boy’s throat.
“What the HELL are you doing with villains?! Where the fuck have you been? Do you know how worried sick your mom has been?!”
A hand wrapped itself around Katsuki’s wrist while Deku’s other arm came up from below and made contact with the other’s elbow hard enough to cause the fingers around his neck to slacken enough for him to twist out of the hold. The greenette’s own hands flew up to the back of his neck frantically before he signed on relief.
“Kacchan, please, listen to me. I really don’t have much time. I’m... I’m not with them on my own accord! I don’t... I don’t want to be with them! I don’t have a choice. Please. Believe me. There’s a lot going on underground. Heroes are in danger. YOU’RE in danger. Please, carry a message to the heroes. All Might. Anyone!” he pleaded.
Bakugou stood his ground. “And why should I believe you?”
Midoriya’s eyes flashed between disbelief, anger, and sadness in an instant. He looked... tired.
With a sigh, the boy turned around and lowered his hood below his neck a bit while lifting the hairs that rested on the back of his neck for the other teen to see.
A silver port looking device was implanted on the back of his neck, right along his spine. The skin around it was red and irritated, clearly angry with something that should not be there. It was something Katsuki never remembered Izuku having before.
“... Okay. Fine. Put that thing away. It’s freaky. What do you want me to tell them?”
“All for One is coming back. And he’s hoping to take All Might down with him.” Midoriya fiddled with his hood, throwing it back over his head.
Even though he didn’t know who or what All for One was, it sent a shiver down Katsuki’s spine.
“Fine. I’ll tell them. I dunno how much they’ll believe me though with no other evidence other than ‘a mystery villain who was a childhood friend fucking told me.”
That was enough for Deku to smile. “Even a heads up is fine.” The boy turned to head back to the villains when he stopped in his tracks and scratched the back of his head. Turning back around, the green haired boy started to profusely bow while apologizing to Bakugou.
“I’m so sorry, Kacchan. I don’t want to do this, but they’ll be suspicious if I don’t.”
That was all the warning Bakugou got before his eyes suddenly exploded with stars and his ears started ringing. He staggered back, barely managing to stay standing.
A fist came in direct contact with his nose, sudden pain causing his eyes to water. Deku took a step back, Katsuki’s fresh blood on his knuckles. He grimaced before wiping it on various parts of his shirt and pants before turning to Bakugou one last time, muttering apologies like there was no tomorrow. Then he turned and bounded off, sprinting away at a speed a normal human wouldn’t have.
Before he could yell anything back, bushes around Bakugou started to rattle and soon his classmates and teacher surrounded him, worried as he clutched his gushing nose.
Later on, Bakugou was scarily quiet. His classmates noticed the angery aura coming off of him, whether it be because of the thick bandage and padding on his broken nose or because of the sudden attack. They decided not to press him, as none of them wanted to get yelled at.
Before heading home, Bakugou found his teacher Aizawa after basically a one manned man hunt.
The look in his student’s eye told Aizawa he wasn’t going to be getting any sleep that night.
I wasn’t planning on writing this all out LMAO. It just sorta happened. Maybe I’ll branch out some more if there’s interest.
