Izuku Midoryia was tired of being let down.
At 14 she had been written off by society. What was she doing with her life? wasting her timw in books that will add up to nothing in the end. A dead friendship that she cant revive.
She was tired of living in the past. She was swinging her legs off of the building her favorite hero had abandoned her on. Thw notebook she spent her most recent months had holes in it from the one and only bullied that started all her misery.
Her new unifrom skirt had the same holes, the type caused by sparks. Her shirt was no diffrent if she looked she was sure. she could feel the burned Fabric more now.
Her mother spent most of their rent money on a new one, only for Katsuki Bakugou to come in and ruin it. Kinda a pattern in her life.
She was oververwhelmed.
She was angrier than she had ever been in her life.
This one person had made it his life mission to make her miserable. To bully her, to destroy her dreams. And no one did a damn thing.
Why? becayse she was quirkless? because she was viewed as useless in this overblown hero obsessed society. Didnt they see the ovwr abundence of heros? or maybe that was the point? create a group to be hated and everyone will join together.
How did she neber notice it before? people likw her wete just an excuse to join together in torment.
She would make them pay.
everyone waa guilty in the system.
No one waa more guilty then the so called symbol of piece.
Izuku never noticed the melted concrete she left behind that day.
It had onky taken a few months to track down the ilustrious Hero killer.
He was a facinating man, easy to figurw out if you spent long enough watching from the shadows.
she did alot of that these days.
At first he wasnt interested in taking an apprentice but, like most things, she was good at changing peoples minds.
She was quick to update her old idea for a heros costume. She didnt particularly care if anyone knew who she was, but Stain insisted on a mask. With a little help from one of Stains... friends, they had created a mask for her to wear, made from the same fire and heat resistant material as Endeavors costume.
The mask was like an old hockey mask. it covered all of her face, flame shaped material wrapped arouns her face. leaving two holes for her eyes.
The costume was plainer, a simple Black tanktop and black camo pants. the shoes were heeless and made feom a similar material. They were a standard combat boot.
Stain said it was important to blend into any enviorment incase of a need to blend in.
He was a smart teacher, he taught her everything she needed to know about society and what it used to be like. before being quirkless was punishable.
She was tired of it all.
All for one had been sensing a strong quirk, it flickered likw it hadent quite been unleashed.
It was deliciously powerful and if it was as angry and dark as he sensed he could use the posseser as a pawn.
First he needed to extend a benevolent hand.
" Kurogiri... I have a mission for you..."
Stain watched as a shadow man appeared behind His pupil.
He rushed forward to grab her.
the shadow figure was quick to grab him aswell.
" Hello, Mr. Hero killer , and I assume this is Miss Pupil hmm? well I suppose it dosent mean much either way. We have a job for you both. "
The shadow man brought them too a room.
" We have a proposition for you both involving UA... " the dark voice spoke of promises for their goal. Stain didnt seem interested but Izuku was.
She wanted to burn UA to the ground.
She wanted to burn Katsuki Bakugou to the ground.
so she did what she felt was right.
She agreed.
The world was spinning, days training her quirk and talking to all for one blurred together.
They called her inferno.
A wild cluster of unfathomable flames.
She liked the name.
Toga had proclaimed herself her new bestfriend. Izuku didnt really mind one way or another.
she waited paitently for this day to arrive. She wasnt supposer to use her quirk but she felt the anger stirring again.
Kurogiri opened the portal and the league decended opon UA.
She didnt need to see her eyes to know they werent green anymore.
it was an affect of her quirk. anytime she used it, her eyes became a pool of ruby.
She could see the UA students in the distance.
The blonde that haunted her memories was standing next to a red haired man scowling.
She could taste the iorn from the man Toga cut down infront of them.
She did as she was told. Staying in the background. assisting if she was needed but not with her quirk.
She saw a portal opem up infront of her and she knew this was the moment she was waiting for. She was their trump card after all
She walked out, depair appread on All mights face as if he realised who was the girl in the flame mask. She managed to pull herself up to Tomura, standing by as expected. This wasnt the moment yet.
Bakugou attempted to blast her. same old idiot.
All she had to do was lean back and watch the idiots momentum carry him 5 feet away from her.
" Inferno..." Tomuras warning was annoying. She wasnt going to do anything honest.
She watched as the great symbol of peace arrived.
He was truly powerful. He swept up all the students and aimed a punch at Tomura.
Tomura truly made her blood freeze in that moment.
He freaking smiled. creepy.
She watched as the Nomu jumped infront of them at the last moment.
The force of the blast made the punch he had ained at her mask earlier more present.
Shit, that mask was expensive.
They tried to pull one over with the Nomu.
well they suceeded in some sense.
She wasnt made to freeze.
She had no idea how the tables turned so quickly, but they turned.
She could only watch as the heros arrived. The UA students were smiling.
They had hope still.
That made her angry.
"Inferno"
There was an edge to his voice.
Tomura was scared.
she sighed. watching all might stare at them, Katsuki was watching. She hated that they hadnt won.
Well, At least she would have the last word.
Bakugou Katsuki watched in horrorfied awe as the air itself became too hot to breathe.
The small girl in the mask had burst into flames.
A horrible sound filled the air, it carved a hole into his very soul. The sound was piercing, aching. It was filled with so much pain.
Through the flames he could make out the girl. Her body was one with the fire and her mouth was open...
He realised the sound was her screaming.
The flames looked like they were eating away at her.
Her hoodie was burning in most places and Her mask was... melting?
He met her eyes and noticed.
They were blood red.
That was the last thing he saw before they were swept up in the portal.
welp I'm tired lol
