Chapter Text
“So let me get this straight,” the villain twitched, “you want me to take this kid, make him disappear however I see fit, tell no one about your true intentions, all for any information I wish?”
“That is correct.”
“And why, might I ask?”
“Multiple reasons. I’m sure you know he is the successor to the retired hero, All Might.”
This visibly struck a cord with the villain.
“Surely he will be a thorn in your side when he too is a pro hero. Better to cut the roots now, before they grow.”
“Well that gives you a reason for coming to the likes of me.” He sarcastically hissed out, a little less jokingly on the final few syllables. “But I still don’t understand why you want him out of your hair? Sure, you hold a grudge against the big blonde, but I didn’t think you’d hate him so much to kill off a kid.”
The man angrily stared at the villain. Then he continued on ignoring what was previously said to him, “My second reason being that he has become a distraction. Sure, he initially helped, but now he’s become too attached.”
“So why not just frame the kid or something? Death seems extreme, even from you.”
“Wouldn’t work. Besides, if I can use the weakness that they will call pain from his death, then I can harden my creation into the most able Hero. His mind will be at just the right place for molding.”
“You might be beating a dead horse,” The villain smirked.
“He is 15, he’ll bounce back. We must make impressions while they’re young.”
The villain pulled at a thread on the leather couch he sat on as thought. After purposely making the large man in his presence wait for an uncomfortable amount of time, he sighed, “Alright, you have a deal.”
They shook on it.
“You will take the kid?” The larger man attempted to confirm as the villain ascended from his seat and began walking to the door.
“I’ll call you when we’re done,” he opened the door, “that is...if you don’t see it on the news first.” With that he slipped away and closed the door.
Meanwhile the large man chuckled to himself as he folded his arms over his chest.
